Tradeshow kicks off in Baltimore on Monday, plus an invite for you
We're heading to the NBFAA/CSAA tradeshow "ESX" next week in Baltimore, Md. This, the second year of the show, looks like a winner. If you're in the area, definitely swing by and support this show, which is really geared toward installing, servicing, integration and monitoring companies.

As someone who worked at a company that spent a decent chunk of time trying to rip off the Skylanders concept, I don't think the amiibo push will see success.
I mean, the tooling on the figures look really nice, and the Samus Arans and the Links are bound to sell out super fast. But the success of Skylanders has meant that competition in the market has become ever more fierce. Disney's Infinity, with its multitude of licensed Disney characters, has carved up what little remains of the figure/toy pie. To say nothing of Japan's Youkai Watch, and the millions of vending machine QR tokens it's sold to coincide and interact with the game.
What matters for the Amiibo is install base. If it is keyed to the Wii U alone, the install base may not be there to support production of a toy (production which is expensive, especially with the technology that they're doing). And in terms of "cold sales", which is a new concept they're trying to introduce in a market that's already mature (by which kids already own Skylanders or Disney Infinity figures), the barrier to entry just became higher.
Think about it. Given the paltry install base of the Wii U at this point, the consumer would need some massive justification to buy a Wii U as well as an amiibo figure and a handful of games it may or may not work with. The strength of Skylanders was that it came out at a point when the seventh generation of video games had solidified platforms and enough people already owned Xboxes/PS3s, so the barrier to entry was just the price of the game and the Portal of Power add-ons.
Rough times are ahead at Nintendo still. What matters is not some abstract 'momentum'. What matters is games that sell the hardware in large numbers. Mario Kart was one, and it helped the Wii U post good numbers for the last month or so. The only upcoming thing that might do the trick in Nintendo's upcoming slate is the Smash Bros for Wii U, and that has the shadow of Melee hanging over itself like a sword of Damocles (most people upgrading to Brawl found it inferior to Melee and thus would not shell out for a new system again). Zelda hasn't been a system-seller since Twilight Princess, and if Nintendo thinks a Captain Toad game is going to sell the system, they're high on acid.
I'll be picking up a Wii U for Bayonetta 2. Then again, I'm not most people.
|Matt Matthews
Nintendo's digital sales are also down 12% from the same 3 month period last year: from ¥5.7 billion to ¥5.0 billion. Compare that to most other companies with a digital segment, and you can see just how hard they are struggling to survive in the new reality.

Israel / Germany / France, 2008 (MIFF 2008, Border Patrol)
Director: Eran Riklis
"A multifaceted drama straddling the Palestinian-Israeli chasm that's marbled with irony, generosity, anger and pure crowd-pleasing optimism." - Variety
Eran Riklis takes a fresh look at the Israeli -Palestine conflict by imbuing it with the warmth of a personal story. Palestinian widow Salma Zidane lovingly tends to a lemon grove planted on the Israel-West Bank border by her father 50 years ago. When the Israeli Defense Minister builds an ostentatious house right next to Salma's lemon grove, it becomes the focus of bitter frictions.
An intelligent allegory for the hotly politicised border debate, The Lemon Tree doesn't shy away from taking sides.
"There are so many walls that are created by tradition and religion and bad blood from the past." - filmmaker Eran Riklis

Boyfriend Of Missing NC Teacher Arrested In Ill.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The boyfriend of a missing teacher in North Carolina has been arrested in Chicago on unrelated charges.
The U.S. Marshals Service says Angelo Grayson Smith Jr. was arrested Thursday afternoon on a charge in Charlotte of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Details about those charges were not immediately available.
Investigators say Smith was the last person to see Bianca Tanner before she disappeared. Charlotte-Mecklenburg police have classified her disappearance as a homicide. No one has been arrested in her disappearance.
Smith told police that Tanner left their apartment June 7 after an argument.
Smith's attorney, Kenneth Snow, has said his client was not on the run.
Tanner had moved to Charlotte from Greensboro last month, where she accepted a job with a new education program.

At Parkland, pumpkins chucked for charity
How far you can chuck a pumpkin has more to do with the pumpkin than with you.
For instance, Parkland High School social studies teacher Denise O'Connell, a former state javelin champion, was able to hurl a pumpkin not much bigger than a softball far across a field outside the high school on Tuesday in the school's second annual Pumpkin Chucking Contest.
She easily dethroned the last year's staff champion, guidance counselor Eric Roberts, but his pumpkin was far bigger than O'Connell's. So while the field was quite level, it wasn't quite a level playing field, if you see my point.
On the other hand, when O'Connell faced off against this year's student champion, junior Julius Toth, she was given a far larger pumpkin to throw, and Julius took the overall crown.
That's the way the pumpkin crumbles. And they did crumble, one pumpkin after another, as grunting students and teachers hurled them — shot-put style, baseball style and, yes, javelin style — high and far across the grass.
The winners got trophies. The runners-up got consolation prizes — orange socks, pumpkin pie mix, pumpkin Peeps.
It was all for charity. The Spanish Honors Society sponsors the event and donates the proceeds to Meals on Wheels — $328 last year, $233 this year.
Not bad for a half-hour's work on a crisp fall afternoon. Even the weather was something of a triumph. Last year's contest had to be rescheduled because of Superstorm Sandy.
"The students paid a flat rate of $5 to throw, and the staff kind of heckle the kids to donate," said Spanish teacher Julie Wood, the society adviser.
Participating staffers — including school Principal Jim Moniz — set up plastic pumpkins in the cafeteria with their names on them. Students donated to whichever staff member they thought would throw farthest.
"The person who raised the most money got to pick the pumpkin they wanted to throw," Wood said.
Which explains how O'Connell got to throw a softball while Roberts had to throw The Great Pumpkin.
The students went first. When photographer Donna Fisher asked who would win, someone shouted "Derek!" meaning senior Derek Soltis.
"Don't you see him?"
A valid point. Derek is a tall and powerful-looking kid — it said "Big D" on the back of his Parkland basketball sweatshirt — and you'd have been a sucker to bet against him.
But Big D's aim was off. His pumpkin sailed wide to the right and didn't get much distance.
Julius, on the other hand, used a kind of sidearm technique, and his pumpkin almost hit one of the young women measuring the throws.
Most of the staffers tossed well, but, as I mentioned, O'Connell had the advantage of a small pumpkin, powerful arms and long years of training.
Roberts was philosophical about his loss.
"When she broke into that javelin pose, I thought 'It's over. I'm done,' " he said. "But I lost to a worthy competitor. I'll be back next year, and try even harder."
He put on a brave face, but Wood said he was surely disconsolate.
"He'll be in therapy now," she told me.
•Speaking of contests and charity, I thought I would share some internal Morning Call news.
Last week we had our annual Souptoberfest contest here in the newsroom. It's one of several food-related contests held throughout the year here, including Cereal De Mayo on Cinco De Mayo, Pie Day on Pi Day (3/14) and the Super Chili Cookoff in honor of the Super Bowl.
The rules and guidelines of these contests are quite complex. For example, the eligibility of a soup is determined by viscosity, forkability versus spoonability and other factors, so no one is able to slip a stew into the contest.
We eat and vote, eat and vote, until the food at hand is gone and we are all suffering the most violent distress.
Anyway, Souptoberfest raised $212 for charities that support food pantries in the Lehigh Valley. The winning soup was roasted potato leek, concocted by Allentown beat reporter Emily Opilo. The grand prize — actually, the only prize — was a bar of Toblerone chocolate, which Emily was kind enough to share even with people who didn't vote for her soup.

Neither the sure prevention of war, nor the continuous rise of world organization will be gained without what I have called the fraternal association of the English-speaking peoples. This means a special relationship between the British Commonwealth and Empire and the United States. –Winston Churchill, March 5, 1946
In his 1946 "Sinews of Peace" speech, delivered at Westminster College in Missouri, Winston Churchill was deliberate and precise. He detailed a "growing friendship and mutual understanding" between Britain and the United States after World War II based not only on "kindred systems of society, but the continuance of the intimate relationship between our military advisers, leading to common study of potential dangers, the similarity of weapons and manuals of instructions, and to the interchange of officers and cadets at technical colleges."
But the former prime minister made no mention of sharing forward operating bases to stage an assault on the most coveted trophy in team sports. And so we have our first territorial battle between the United States and England since the War of 1812. At stake: the Royal Bafokeng Nation, a 58-square-mile area 50 miles northwest of Johannesburg, where both the Three Lions and the Yanks hope to establish their headquarters for the 2010 World Cup.
"The facility is fantastic but the pitches are not good, they are a problem," said England Coach Fabio Capello, according to The Daily Mirror. The British tabloid said the Football Association's decision to wait until the new year may cost England its first choice. "And now we are in danger of being gazumped by the Yanks, who are also said to be keen on the venue," The Mirror reports.

ARLINGTON — Detroit rallied from a 27-3 deficit to shock the Dallas Cowboys 34-30 Sunday at Cowboys Stadium.It was the biggest collapse in Cowboys history, according Elias Sports Bureau. The largest was 21 points against Washington on November 28, 1965 at Washington. The Redskins won the game 34-31."I don't think anybody relaxed," Jason Garrett said. "We didn't do enough to win the game. Hopefully we can step back from this disappointment and learn from it."Dallas led 27-3 with 12 minutes, 23 seconds left in the third quarter.Detroit's defense led the comeback with back-to-back interception returns for touchdowns off Tony Romo.Former Cowboy Bobby Carpenter returned the first interception 34 yards for a touchdown. On Dallas' next possession, Chris Houston returned an interception 56 yards for another Detroit to make it 27-17.A Dan Bailey 23-yard field goal pushed the Cowboys' lead back to 30-17.However, Detroit's offense finally began to click.Matthew Stafford threw a 23-yard touchdown to Calvin Johnson, who was tripled covered, to make it 30-24.After an exchange of possessions, Jason Hanson added a 51-yard field goal to pull the Lions within 30-27.A third interception off Romo, this time by Stephen Tulloch, opened the door for the Lions to complete the miracle comeback.Eight plays later, Stafford hit Johnson from 2 yards out for the game winner and a 34-30 lead.Dallas reached the Lions' 45, but two incompletions, a sack and a short completion to Felix Jones ended the game."The game turns on turnovers. I should not have allowed them to have that chance," Romo said. "I was disappointed on the decision-making on a couple of those throws."
Playing through pain to victory proves Romo's a leader

GM integrating Google Maps to OnStar navigation system
Summary: Following Ford's recent move to bring Google Maps to the Sync platform. General Motors is doing the same for OnStar.
Following Ford's recent move to bring Google Maps to the Sync platform. General Motors is doing the same for OnStar.
Google and GM have been in talks and working together to integrate the Google Android platform and OnStar features. Now what is probably the most relevant Google app for drivers will be available for OnStar subscribers through OnStar eNav, found under OnStar's signature Turn-by-Turn automatic navigation system.
Users will be able to search for and identify destinations through the program, and the results and directions can be sent back to the user either as vocal guidance for older vehicles or presented on the navigation screen for more recently released cars.
Google Maps will be supported by all "Turn-by-Turn capable GM vehicles" made since 2006. As for the upcoming 2011 releases, this will become a standard feature for OnStar-ready, GM automobiles. The new feature should be available by the end of June.

So This Is Love?
The Author of "Girl Land" Explores Generational Shifts in Dating
One of the many interesting developments that led me to write my new book, Girl Land, was the discovery that as much as girls have embraced and helped create this new social landscape, a great many of them aren't happy about it. A huge number of girls hunger for the same kind of romantic experiences that my friends and I had enjoyed. Many of them would love the chance to have a boyfriend instead of just a bunch of boy friends.
Look at all the cultural phenomena that describe and celebrate this ideal: the Twilight books, Taylor Swift's music, Glee. The huge and ever-growing phenomenon of high school prom appeals so much to girls because it lends them—if only for one magical night—the feeling of what a real, old-fashioned date must have been like: an invitation, the boy coming to the door, and a planned activity in which you are, truly, a couple.
A lot of girls right now are yearning for the deep emotional connections and excitement that come with traditional romance, but they don't know how to get it. They are bitterly disappointed, and they think that the problem lies with the boys, who "aren't interested in these kinds of relationships anymore" and who "have no one to teach them."

This means you'll have to exercise with high intensity for less time and thus spend more calories than that of the normal exercises.
Today, let us discuss the most popular seven minute workout that helps you burn more calories in less time.
Scientific 7 Minute WorkoutIn this 7 minute workout, you'll have to perform 12 different exercises deploying only body weight, a wall and a chair.
According to Chris Jordan, the director of exercise physiology at the Human Performance Institute in Orlando, Fla, it has been proved scientifically that HIIT or high intensity interval training provides the same or even more benefits of the prolonged training but in less time span. [Source]
This total HIIT workout session lasts for 7 minutes while each exercise should be practiced for at least 30 seconds with a 10 seconds rest between each step.
The 7 Minute High Intensity Workout [Video]
This seven minute workout video was created by the LifeHack Team. If you're not able to follow the animated version, you can watch the below video where real people perform the HIIT workout in just 7 minutes.
As said in our GM Diet plan, performing some sort of exercise everyday gives you better results. So, we suggest everyone who follows the General Motors diet program to allocate at least 10 minutes per day for workouts so that they can achieve much better output.

Larry Fortensky Being Evicted From His House
While Elizabeth Taylor is in the hospital, husband number 8, Larry Fortensky is about to lose his house. Apparently the guy who does not work is having problems paying his almost $6000 a month mortgage. Umm, when you are not working do you think you should be living in a place that costs $6000 a month? Apparently a couple of years ago a similar thing happened but Liz gave Larry $50,000 so he could keep his place. I think that at that point, Larry should have said, "you know what? Maybe I should sell this thing and move into a studio somewhere." Instead he stayed and Liz has decided to not give him any more money.

My name's Danya, and my life is a strange mixture of serious and silly. The things you see here are a side effect of such a life. Hopefully you can derive some sort of something or other from it.
The sun has nearly risen and once again I am still awake. Perhaps I should just give up sleep. Or become one of those insane polyphasic sleepers.
The more I read and hear old testament scriptures the further my mind is blown. I'm beginning to think the entire thing is about Jesus and this new and greater covenant we have. It's insanity. One of the first revelations I received from God when I began to really know him was about Christ's body being the veil and how all that imagery ties into not only the temple but covenant sacrifice (Hebrews 10:19-20, Matthew 27:51, Genesis 15). The thing is, every time I revisit the subject recently, it gets bigger. The symbolism of the temple and everything within it is mind blowing, because it's all a type and shadow of Christ and what Christ established. The temple itself, the priests, the sacrifices, all these things involved in the old covenant that were necessary for the cleansing of the people have all been replaced by Christ. I've just been struck by the contrast this past week. It's a replacement of the imperfect and the temporal for the perfect and eternal (Hebrews 10:1-18). Because Christ was perfect and eternal we now stand eternally in perfect fellowship with God. It's pretty freaking awesome.
And with that off my chest, I must now chase that elusive being called sleep.
Tagged: perfect eternal old covenant new covenant temple priest sacrifice Jesus Jesus Christ
Posted on October 7, 2012 with 1 note
The Law, the ten commandments, is perfect and holy; in the light of this perfection we were condemned, not by God, but by ourselves, because we couldn't keep it. Because of this, Jesus had to come. And when he came, he fulfilled the whole Law as we never could. In doing this he became the perfect sacrifice, not merely for sin, but for a new covenant.When I first began to really understand this grace, really understand the gospel of Christ a couple years ago, God showed me something beautiful in scripture.Traditionally, to enter into a covenant in Old Testament culture, they would take a sacrificial animal, or animals, and cut it in two. They would separate the two pieces and those entering into the covenant would walk across the blood through the pieces. You can see an example of this in the covenant Abraham, then called Abram, made with God in Genesis 15. Of course, Abraham himself didn't physically make the covenant with God, but that's a whole different story.Hebrews 10:19-20 tells us that Jesus' body and the veil that separated the people in the temple from the holy of holies, the most inner court which held God's very presence, were symbolically linked:"Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the VEIL, that is, His FLESH,…" This imagery takes on beautiful significance in light of covenant sacrifice. When all was said and done, when the sky darkened and the earth shook from Christ's death, that very veil which separated man from the presence of God was ripped in two. Now, because of our faith, our belief in Christ, we enter into the very presence of God through the torn body of Christ, through the pieces of Christ, through his blood, through a new covenant, through a new and living way. We walk through the blood and stand as holy, as blameless, as righteous before God, where there now remains not an ounce of separation between who we are and all he is.
That, to me, is quite an amazing thing.

Blow-dry bars are reminiscent of an old-fashioned beauty parlor, where ladies would go to have their hair washed and set each week. This incarnation attracts women with all hair types, but the core customer is someone with long, thick locks who wants a just-groomed look, not necessarily pin straight, but sleek and smooth with volume and fullness. The salons don't cut or color hair; they simply wash, dry and style it. WSJ's Elizabeth Holmes tells us about her trip to a blow-dry bar. Download MP3
To Hover Over Schoolwork, Parents Go Online
More public and private school systems are wiring up data-management systems, and school work is just the tip of the iceberg. Parent-accessible websites and "learning community management systems," are increasingly handling schools' scheduling, emergency contacts, immunizations, academic assessments and even meals. As districts look to save money by going paperless outside the classroom, the digital push is picking up steam. WSJ's Molly Baker tells parents how to take their hovering to the World Wide Web.

Less than One Week Left to Sign Up for Soldotna State Troopers Citizens Academy
The Alaska State Trooper post in Soldotna is now offering a Citizen Academy. Troopers says this is the first Citizen Academy offered on the Kenai Peninsula, though the program has been popular in the Mat-Su Valley.
The program is based on Citizen Police Academy model being formed by police agencies throughout the country, and aims to provide greater communication between the community members and law enforcement officers. The Troopers say that the Citizen Academy hopes to alleviate some misunderstanding by providing citizens a firsthand look at the statutes, regulations and policies that guide troopers in their daily duties.
The first session in Soldotna will take place each Wednesday evening, between 6:30pm and 9:30pm from March 13-22. Classes will be held at the Emergency Response Center at 253 Wilson Lane in Soldotna.
Class registration is required and applicants must be at least 18-years old and reside in Alaska. The deadline to apply is March 4, 2013.
To access the application packet, visit the AST Public Information Office website.

What is the key difference working in-house and in a law firm...?
Readers' comments (8)
Acutely and amusingly observed Paul! Sound advice for any prospective in-housers. Career moves are so often based on hope rather than knowledge but there are some real nuggets of insight in this blog whether you are considering a move or trying to find your feet. Read in isolation, in-house life might look a little bleak but that is doubtless down to the brevity of the blog format. Reasons to be cheerful in-house may already be familiar. Identifying with the business you work for, opportunities to manage and be managed, and an escape from billable hours targets and time sheets all spring to mind.
Most in-housers I know still have billable hours targets and time sheets...
If in-house positions still had billable hours targets and timesheets, I would not have moved. This may be the case in very large legal departments, but in small or medium-sized departments like mine, the situation is exactly as described by Paul. Manage, prioritise, reduce - and spend a lot of your time communicating, often "just" with the aim of building the trust and relationships which will allow you to excel in your job. The upsides Sally mentions, and others, more than make up for the challenges Paul lists. In addition, nothing feels more satisfying than mastering those challenges.
Good points from both my anonymous correspondents. In-house departments come in as many shapes and sizes as the law firms they retain. A large in-house department may mimic aspects of a law firm, particularly if it has practice area specialists. Having the back-up of a larger organisation and peers to talk to can also smooth the transition in-house.
No matter how one cuts it, in-house in the UK is by and large not a front office role. In private practice one drives revenues and hence the business. In an in-house role one supports the business.
So it's a question of expectation management. Be at the forefront, or be back/middle office. The latter ain't all bad, certainly in terms of lifestyle. Even if one has a client, it'ds nice to be the client to someone else!
Another manifestation of what the author describes is what I think of as the "funnel" effect. At a law firm you are expected to identify the broadest possible range of issues that might be associated with a transaction, case, etc. But in house counsel are pre-occupied with identifying the few key issues from that broad range which have the greatest potential impact and then prioritizing limited resources to asure that those keys are adequately addressed.
Excellent article that really gets down to the essentials.
I just wish each side understood the other better.
There's also the issue of skills atrophying in-house. See this relevant story – 'Going in-house: Like a plate of lentis'

Terry Pratchett, I Shall Wear Midnight
Thought I should get back on the TWD schedule. Weekend schedules have been crazy and I have not been able to join in for a while. Today was a public holiday and I had just flown back from Siem Reap, and since I had a free afternoon, I decided to make this fairly simple recipe.
The vanilla pound cake was good - tender and easy to make - a good way to ease back into TWD.
Do have a look at the other attempts at this cake here.
A reasonably quick bake but not my favourite.
Not exactly sure where this went wrong - the cake was not very moist (as a brownie would be). Also, it did not seem to rise very much and I could not cut it into 3 layers so it ended up as 2.
Do have a look at the other TWD bakers attempts here.
These were easy to make. Whipped them up in the morning and ate them straight out of the oven. Nice!
Do have a look through the other TWD bakers attempts.
This turned out kinda good. The cake was huge! but I liked the taste and the creaminess. To cut through the fussiness with the crust I prebaked it in the tin and then just poured the cream cheese mix over it and baked it again.
Do check out the other bakers here.
These were easier to make compared to the bagels we made the last time - owing to the fact that there was no boiling of the dough required.
I loved the sweetness of the onions with the bread.
I should have worked a little harder flattening and pricking the dough - perhaps then, the bialys would have looked a little more like the one in the picture.
Do visit the rest of the twd baker's blogs listed here.
I have always wanted to make a "Swiss roll" - you see them in the cake shop windows, these creations of rolled up cake - all nice and symmetrical and so inviting. So even though I have just come back from a couple of trips abroad and have just started a new job, I cleared out part of my weekend and got to work.
How did this turn out for me? The mousse turned out great and I really liked the addition of nuts in it - it gave it another dimension. The cake? Well, I baked a full sized one on my first attempt and it broke up on me when I tried maneuvering it around (Note: this is what happens when you don't read the instructions properly). So the next day I attempted half the recipe for the cake portion. I followed the instructions to a "t" and got it all rolled up. "Yay!" for perseverance.
The end result? I found the cake a little too moist. I pulled the cake out from the oven when the sides started to shrink away from the jelly pan so am not sure whether I should have baked it longer…. With some time in the fridge when everything had hardened up, the cake was passable but not what I have seen in the cake shop windows.
For more successful attempts, check out the rest of the TWD bakers sites.

- Being unsure of how someone feels about you.
- Feeling like they are mad at you.
- Being misunderstood by people you care about.
- Being judged by people you care about.
- Feeling like you lost something that was never yours.
- Feeling like you're doing too much.
- Thinking you aren't doing enough.
- Not knowing if you should say something.
- Worried about what they'll think if you do say it.
- Feeling like you care more than they do.
Think about this.
The person you are going to marry is walking the Earth at this very second.
That thought alone should give you hope to continue each and every day - knowing someone, somewhere, that is completely in love with you, even if you both don't know it yet.
Me and my friend look at each other like
I died.

Sept. 11, 1974 - Lou Brock of the St. Louis Cardinals set a new major league baseball record when he stole his 105th base of the season.

The second base stolen by Brock to set the record was presented to him during a halt in the game with Philadelphia. (AP Photo)
3) St. Louis Cardinals base stealing Lou Brock has his own fan club in the Cards left field bleachers, August 11, 1974. T-shirts with LOU! LOU! LOU! written on them are now being seen around the stadium as Brock closes in on the stolen base record. Brock now has 77 stolen bases for the year and 712 career. These young members of the Brock fan club are from the St. Louis area. (AP Photo)

About Town
Brian Kennedy tour
Betsy Brady and Zue Neckers. Photo: Lyn Mills
My knowledge of Toledo Ohio comes from Klinger. You know him, the Corporal in M*A*S*H who loves a nice frock and clomped about in girls gear trying to get out of the 4077 on a section 8 psychiatric discharge and back to Toledo.
Well there's certainly more to it than the Klinger version - now there is a Canberra connection as former National Gallery of Australia director Brian Kennedy, who is the director of the Toledo Museum of Art, brings 18 of his favourite benefactors to Australia as their tour guide leader. His wife Mary pitched in too about what he'd chosen as must see parts of Australia.
Melbourne, Sydney, Alice Springs and Uluru were on the agenda with a final stop in Canberra and a personalised trip to the National Arboretum with John Mackay giving his friends of friends a special tour from the cedars to the playground, the bonsai to the birds' nest.
The Toledo Museum of Art is the second of Kennedy's significant directorships in the US after leaving the NGA in 2004, with his tenure at Dartmouth College's Hood Museum of Art in New Hampshire from 2005-10 prior to this current post at the museum founded by Edward Libbey of Libbey Glass fame. And glass is an important part of the Toledo Museum of Art collection housed in a purpose-built modern Frank Gehry-designed glass pavilion.
He loved the arboretum, especially the visitor's centre and the panoramic view, and his Toledo team love the bonsai collection while I was somewhat bemused that one of the oldest is an 1880s privet. Aren't they a weed? Well, to counter that, for Sue Moesser from Toledo, the history and vision of a tall sheltering Wollemi pine was worth the trip to the National Arboretum.

You may have heard the news that the Royals signed Jeff Francoeur to a two year extension today, a deal worth $13.5 million total and keeps the Royals right fielder in Kansas City through 2013.
If you're on Twitter, you've no doubt seen the polarization over this deal, as some, buoyed by Francoeur's demeanor, hustle and improved numbers in 2011, are ecstatic, while others, who point to his previous production pre-Royals, are less enthused.
Mostly, though, I don't think anybody's surprised.
Francoeur is enjoying a renewed productive season in Kansas City. His .277/.329/.793 line is more than respectable. He has more than 50 extra base hits. His walkrate is the highest it's ever been (though still below average), and he's – somehow – stolen 19 bases.
All this while being the good-natured, smiling, hard-working, aw shucks clubhouse guy we've always heard about.
Good for Francoeur. He's had a very good season after a handful of clunkers. The majority of the fanbase likes him, he's a good influence on a team that's trying to learn how to be big leaguers, and Francoeur is a nice example to follow. He's faced failure, faces the criticism he's gotten over the years. He takes in rookies and shows them the ropes and he's the first one in the pile after a big win. I met him at FanFest in January, and at the time I felt a little guilty for genuinely liking the guy.
His arm has shut down baserunners at the plate, at third, advancing to second, and it's likely deterred many others. That thing is a legitimate weapon and accompanied by his bat, it's made him a fan favorite.
When Francoeur signed with the Royals in December, Joe Posnanski called it a "hit on 20 and hope for an ace" kind of move. The intent was to bring in a quality person who might find his stroke and become an impact player again. So far, Francoeur's 119 OPS+ shows that the Royals pulled the ace out of the deck.
But while he's only 27 years old and maybe, just maybe, he's regained the ability that once earned him a spot on the cover of Sports Illustrated and a third place finish in 2005's Rookie of the Year vote, the deck is stacked against him.
He's had two seasons in which he's eclipsed an OPS+ of 100 – that rookie season (126 OPS+) and 2007 (102 OPS+). Even when he hit 29 homers in 2006 (the only year that he's surpassed 20), his OPS was a mere .742. Even when he was good, was he really that good?
But that was then, this is now.
I'm not anti-Francoeur. I want him to succeed. For one, it means the Royals are doing better and also, he's easy to like. He's the kid from your high school who went on to break into baseball so you check his boxscore every morning and tell your co-workers you knew him back then. He's the guy who sticks around until two hours past game time signing autographs. He genuinely enjoys having fans and gives back. It's no wonder he's held in such high regard.
But all that goodwill and all the smiles don't win ballgames on their own. Is Francoeur a good influence on players like Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas and Johnny Giavotella? Absolutely. Can Salvador Perez learn a little more about leadership from him? You bet. Is Alex Gordon's breakthrough a coincidence or has Francoeur, who's faced those sky-high expectations before, been there to show him how to bounce back from failure and rise above criticism? There's no way of knowing, but it's not far-fetched.
Posnanski pointed out today that Francoeur has shown a pattern of starting with a team and coming out strong, only to be tempted by over-aggressiveness and cursed by platoon splits and come crashing back down to barely replacement level.
I have no problem with Francoeur on this team, but I don't think that at the end of this extension, Royals fans will be feeling as good about it as they are today. Character, comradery and hustle go a long way in the clubhouse, and they may even help on the field to an extent (hard to tell since these are the "intangibles" and all). They don't do a lot when history suggests that a collapse is coming.
I'm just skeptical, I suppose.
At the same time, Franoeur's extension doesn't help Lorenzo Cain learn to be a big leaguer any faster. At this point, the Royals may only reap the benefits of half of the Zack Greinke trade, as Alcides Escobar and Jake Odorizzi look like long-term contributors, but Jeremy Jeffress (who's gone from Kansas City to Omaha to Northwest Arkansas and struggled with command at every stop) has been disappointing, and Cain has had the bad luck of the Royals hitting the jackpot on two speculative signings in winter – who happen to play in the same position that he does.
Cain has a .306/.376/.506 line in Triple A and hit 15 homers and 25 doubles while adding very good range in center field for the Storm Chasers. After a couple of injury-shortened seasons, Cain has spent the last year getting back to the top of the Brewers prospect lists, getting promoted to Milwaukee and then getting traded to the Royals.
You'd think the Royals would want to get a look for themselves before deciding that he's never going to be anything more than a fourth outfielder, right?
With Melky Cabrera having the best overall offensive season on the team this year and still under team control for 2012 with one remaining year of arbitration, he's 99.99% certain to be back next year unless something bizarre happens, and Alex Gordon isn't going anywhere. So Cain is left out.
He may have critics, and minor league numbers don't translate exactly into major league production, but at 25, and relatively new to baseball (he didn't play baseball until he was cut from his high school basketball team as a junior), Cain could still develop. He has more pop than a lot of center fielders ever have, and he doesn't look like a player who'll suddenly put on 30 pounds like Andruw Jones.
In 43 games for the Brewers last year, Cain hit .306/.348/.415 over 158 plate appearances. I'd want to take a look at that player at this level again, rather than see him stuck in Omaha, but maybe that's just me.
Nobody knows until Cain gets up to Kansas City and plays. Similar to Kila Ka'aihue being blocked by Mike Jacobs out of nowhere before the 2009 season, Cain is now blocked by Francoeur. We don't know that he can't produce until we see that he can't produce. The Royals seem to lack confidence in Cain's ability to be an everyday player.
What many have said, and I agree with, is that this signing also signals that Wil Myers may be slowed on his path to the big leagues. After signing his bonus in 2009, Myers worked in 96 plate appearances in the Appalachian and Pioneer League, putting up a 1.106 OPS as an 18-year-old. He continued to rake in A ball, overcoming some early struggles to then earn a promotion to High A Wilmington and produce a .934 OPS at the age of 19.
This year, he debuted in Double A for the Naturals and shifted to the outfield and the transition hasn't been the easiest for him. The Royals, in signing Francoeur, may be easing their foot off the gas and letting Myers simmer in the Texas League and make the necessary adjustments. Long-term, that is probably best for Myers, but he could end up turning it on early next year and continuing into Triple A. What then? Myers may be ready and have Frenchie in his way.
I'm not going to be one to rail against the extension. It's not the worst move the Royals could make and it's not a franchise-crippling move. It's just odd (though unsurprising). Yes, Francoeur can play reasonable defense and his arm is an asset. Dayton Moore has stated that right-handed power is turning into a commodity in baseball and Francoeur fits the bill. He's hit 29 homers before, so it's possible to occur again (though I'm not sure how likely given still-questionable pitch selection).
Many Royals fans are elated that Francoeur will spend two more years here, and to an extent, I like him on this team. Will that be the case this time next season or in two years? That's up to Francoeur. Just as Moore signing him to a deal last winter and extending it now comes as no surprise, regression would also shock nobody.
For everyone's sake, let's just not worry about that. Yet.

Top 10 Android phones (November 2013 edition)
Summary: Time once again to take a tour of a handful of the best Android phones currently available on the market (November 2013). There are a few new handsets, including one for all you pure Android fans. Want something bigger than your average smartphone? If so, there's also a phablet for you to look at!
4 of 11Image
Samsung Galaxy Note 3
The Galaxy Note 3 is, as you can probably gather, a sequel to the Galaxy Note 2. It brings a whole raft of improvements to the table, and it is currently the only phone or phablet that's compatible with Samsung's new Galaxy Gear smartwatch (support for devices such as the Note 2, and the Galaxy S3 and S4 should arrive before the end of the year).
Probably the biggest downside to this handset is that it feels plasticky and a little bit cheap in the hand, this shouldn't put you off.
- Jelly Bean (Android 4.3)
- 2.3GHz Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor
- 5.7-inch 1920 x 1080 display with 388 pixels-per-inch
- 3GB of RAM
- Stylus (a pro or a con depending on your view of them)
- 13MP rear camera
- 2MP front camera
- 32/64GB or internal storage
- microSD card slot for expansion
(Image: Samsung)
The all-new HTC One is the first of two new kids on the block in terms of Android-powered smartphones.
Under the hood, the HTC One isn't all that different to Samsung's new Galaxy S4 — it features the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 CPU (although it runs a little slower), 2GB of RAM, and a 1080p screen — but it is also a very different beast thanks to Sense, the bold new user interface HTC has loaded into the smartphone. It also features an aluminum shell, unlike the Samsung Galaxy S4, which has a plastic shell.
- Jelly Bean (Android 4.2) with HTC's Sense user interface
- 1.7GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600
- 4.7-inch Super LCD, Full HD, high-pixel-density (468ppi) display
- 4MP rear camera
- 2.1MP front camera
- 32/64GB internal storage
(Image: HTC)
Samsung Galaxy S4
There's an awful lot to like about the Galaxy S4 — the powerful CPU, plenty of storage space, a user-replaceable battery, the microSD slot, the fact that it can be used as a remote control for a DVR. It is very much like HTC's new One handset, except marginally better in almost every way (except, perhaps, for the plastic shell).
Another quality handset from the company that is now the king of the Android smartphones.
- Jelly Bean (Android 4.2.2)
- 1.9GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 (1.6GHz octa-core processor offered in some markets)
- 5-inch Super AMOLED high-pixel-density (441ppi) display
- 13MP rear camera
- 2MP front camera
- 16/32/64GB internal storage
- microSD slot

The hunting and murder of migrants by US Marines along the Arizona border was among the first facts revealed, after LulzSec hacked the Arizona Department of Public Safety on Thursday.
Describing the hacked data, Boingboing.net, said, "There are countless mundane documents covering hours worked, officers' personal information and other stuff of minimal journalistic interest. But the bulletins often offer fascinating stories of law enforcement encounters, such as this one with off-duty Marines patrolling the U.S.-Mexico border with assault weapons."
The data describes heavily-armed US Marines, working on contract, to hunt migrants:
"In other incidents reported in October, U.S. Border Patrol agents encountered two subjects who claimed to be members of the Border Watch Group the Blue Lights based on the Caballo Loco Ranch. The subjects, armed with pistols and at least one M4 rifle, were dressed in full desert camouflage uniforms, similar to those of the United States military. They stated they were not members of the Minutemen, but paid contract employees who 'get the job done' and 'were not just volunteers.' They possessed valid United States Marine Corps identification cards."
As it released this data, Lulz Security said in a statement, "We are targeting AZDPS specifically because we are against SB1070 and the racial profiling anti-immigrant police state that is Arizona."
Groups like Lulzsec and Anonymous are helping to bring accountability to power structures in a way the media hasn't.
All that matters now is how we use this information.
Here's another link on the story.
And here is the torrent that Lulzsec released containing all the information they had unveiled for anyone interested in looking at it. If you don't know how to use torrents, watch this tutorial produced by what sounds like a 9 year old.
