- On the team's priorities: "I can restate clearly shortstop, maybe third base; the left side of the infield is definitely a priority. I think we have good pitching, but there's obviously some volatility in it because of the health status and health histories of some of them. Those are two areas I would like to focus on. Bullpen, clearly with the (David) Robertson circumstance, is an issue. That's a handful, right off the bat."
- On signing a big name free agent: "I can't really say if any of the big-ticket items are in play or not in play. I'm just going to say we're doing everything in our power to improve the club. Ownership has always been very beneficial with the resources to put the team on the field."
- On adding two starters and free agency in general: "I would be open to (adding two starters) … (There have been) lots of calls, lots of texts, but nothing to show for it yet. It's certainly taking its time, but it's been busy. Certainly a lot of conversations. Hopefully they'll lead somewhere positive … We're looking at ways to improve our club. But we're looking at smart ways to improve our club. I guess I can say that much."
- On re-signing Hiroki Kuroda, who still hasn't indicated whether he will retire: "Every dollar counts to something. Everything we do has to be accounted for, so it will have an impact on something else. It depends on the entire context of the roster. But I do need starting pitching so he's clearly an area that would solve some issues. We'll see … If he wants to keep playing, he'll have a market."
- On the hitting coach: Cashman confirmed the Yankees have an interview with a new candidate lined up for next week, though he didn't say who it is. He also said no one has been brought back for a second interview yet. Apparently no one asked about the first base coach situation because no one really cares about first base coaches.
Mailbag: Swisher, Cervelli, Johnson, Cabrera, Non-Tenders
Only five questions for you this week but they're five good ones. As a reminder, we got rid of the Submit A Tip box in the sidebar as part of the redesign. There's a new email button in the sidebar, right under the YES Network video widget. Use that to email us questions.
Many asked: What about a Nick Swisher reunion?
Earlier this week Ken Rosenthal reported the Indians are exploring ways to move Swisher, perhaps in a bad contract-for-bad contract swap. Swisher is owed $15M in each of the next two seasons with a $14M vesting option for 2017 based on his plate appearance total in 2016. He hit a weak .208/.278/.331 (75 wRC+) with eight homers in 97 games this year while batting injury — he had season-ending arthroscopic surgery on both knees in August — after hitting .246/.341/.423 (115 wRC+) with 22 homers in 145 games a year ago.
The Yankees already have a full outfield, complete with a right fielder with bad knees. Alex Rodriguez is clogging up the DH spot as well. Carlos Beltran will make $15M in each of the next two seasons, and a few people asked about trading him straight up for Swisher, but I don't see any way Beltran will waive his no-trade clause to go to Cleveland. Not after waiting all these years to wear pinstripes. If the Yankees weren't stuck with A-Rod or hadn't already re-signed Chris Young, maybe Swisher would have made sense as a fourth outfielder/backup first baseman/part-time DH if the Tribe were willing to eat a bunch of money, especially if you think he'll rebound following knee surgery. That's not happening though. There's no fit for Swisher on the current roster and I don't think the Yankees would bring him back anyway.
Dan asks: Do you think the Yankees pulled the trigger too early on dealing Francisco Cervelli? With Russell Martin signing in Toronto, the Cubs and Dodgers are in need of catching. Maybe they could have done better than Justin Wilson? Doesn't it seem like Brian Cashman acts too early in general on minor moves, in a way that could foreclose better moves later in the offseason? (See also Chris Young.)
I don't agree with this at all. I'm surprised the Yankees got as much as they did for Cervelli, who was on the verge of being designated for assignment at various points within the last two years. Injury prone backup catchers don't have much trade value, especially when they're slated to make seven figures next season. Maybe the Yankees could have gotten something very slightly better than Wilson if they had waited a few weeks … or maybe they wind up with nothing at all because the Cubs and Dodgers find comparable players at a lower cost. With small moves like this, I think you need to pull the trigger as soon as possible. The risk of being the last last one standing in the game of roster musical chairs is high. Now, if they were shopping someone like Brett Gardner in the trade? That's a different story.
Arad asks: Could Chris Johnson from the Braves be a nice pickup? Bad contract and had an overall down year, but just look at his splits vs. lefties in 2014 and for his career. Could be a great platoon option for 3rd and 1st base.
Johnson, 30, had an insane BABIP-fueled season in 2013, hitting .321/.358/.457 (127 wRC+) with 12 homers and a .394 BABIP. He has a .260/.310/.391 (~96 wRC+) batting line with a .328 BABIP every other year since becoming a regular in 2010, including a .263/.292/.361 (82 wRC+) line with a .345 BABIP in 2014. We can't ignore 2013, it happened and Johnson deserves credit for it, but it's a big time outlier and I'm not sure you could expect him to repeat that in the future.
That said, Johnson hit .395/.435/.553 (177 wRC+) against southpaws this past season and has a career .312/.349/.443 (116 wRC+) line against lefties, so he's a viable platoon option. He can also play both corner infield spots (not well though), which fits what the Yankees need. The Braves jumped the gun and signed Johnson to a big contract following his career year in 2013, so he's owed $6M in 2015, $7.5M in 2016, and $9M in 2017 with a $10M club option for 2018. That's a lot of scratch for a platoon corner infielder you can stash on your bench. Johnson can be a useful player if used properly even if he is overpaid, but since the Yankees are saddled with A-Rod (who projects to fill the exact same role), I'm not sure there's a spot for Johnson on the roster.
Michael asks: If he's non tendered can you see the Yankees going after Everth Cabrera? Or any of the other theoretical at this point non-tenders?
Cabrera, 28, quietly led the NL with 44 stolen bases in 2012 and then stole 37 more in 2013. He hit a very weak .232/.272/.300 (65 wRC+) with 18 steals in 90 games this season, and is projected to earn $2.9M through arbitration next year, which is why he's a non-tender candidate. That and his litany of off-the-field issues. Cabrera was arrested for domestic abuse in 2012, suspended 50 games for his ties to Biogenesis in 2013, and arrested for driving under the influence in 2014. The Yankees need a shortstop and hey, a 28-year-old shortstop would be cool, but Cabrera isn't the type of person you want on the team. Dude is bad news.
As for some other interesting non-tenders, infielder Gordon Beckham, first baseman/outfielder Mitch Moreland, right-hander David Hernandez, and left-hander Travis Wood stand out to me. I'm going off MLBTR's list of potential non-tenders, by the way. The actual non-tender deadline is December 2nd. Beckham's salary will come down to maybe $1M or so next year, at which point he might be worth a flier because the Yankees need infield help. When he was making $4M? Forget it. Moreland seems like a real nice fit as a left-handed bench piece, Hernandez is a shutdown reliever coming off Tommy John surgery, and Wood could be a league average-ish fifth starter if things click. Once the non-tender deadline passes and we know who is and isn't available, we'll circle back around and discuss this further.
Eric asks: Do you think letting David Robertson leave sets a bad trend for the Yanks? This will be the 2nd year in a row they let a homegrown player leave.
Well, Robertson hasn't left yet, and even if he does, we need to see the details first. If some team comes out of nowhere and offers him five years at, say, $14M per year, I wouldn't be heartbroken about letting him walk. That's essentially what happened with Robinson Cano. The Yankees made him that seven-year, $175M offer that was the high bid until the Mariners completely blew it out of the water. As much as the team misses him, I have no trouble with letting Robbie walk at that rate.
Now, if the Yankees don't re-sign Robertson because they're unwilling to meet a totally reasonable contract request, something like three years and $39M or four years and $48M, then yeah, that would bug me. I don't think the Yankees should lose out on the top players at their positions — which Cano clearly is and Robertson is among — over nickels and dimes. If they get blown out of the water like Cano last year, fine. I can live with that. But letting Roberson go because of a small amount wouldn't sit well with me. They're the Yankees, after all.
Thursday Night Open Thread
This is your open thread for the night. The Thursday NFL game is the Chiefs and Raiders, plus I'm sure there's college basketball on somewhere. None of the local basketball or hockey teams are playing. You folks know how these things work by now, so have at it.
Yankees add Austin, Burawa, Pinder, Williams to 40-man roster; sell Zelous Wheeler's right to team in Japan
The Yankees have added outfielder Tyler Austin, right-hander Danny Burawa, right-hander Branden Pinder, and outfielder Mason Williams to the 40-man roster, the team announced. Today was the deadline to set the 40-man for the Rule 5 Draft and all four players would have been eligible. The Yankees have also sold utility man Zelous Wheeler's rights to the Rakuten Golden Eagles in Japan. There are currently 38 players on the 40-man roster, meaning New York can select up to two players in the Rule 5 Draft.
Adding Austin to the 40-man was the only no-brainer of the bunch. He had a huge second half with Double-A Trenton this summer and continued to rake in the Arizona Fall League. He played through a bone bruise in his wrist almost all of last year and again earlier this year, but it appears he's over it and had gotten back to where he was when he was one of the team's top prospects a year or two ago. Austin figures to open the 2015 season with Triple-A Scranton and could get called up at some point. If nothing else, he should be a September call-up.
Burawa is a pure reliever and has some of the nastiest stuff in the system with a mid-to-high-90s fastball and a vicious slider. He does have control problems (13.2% walk rate the last two years) and had to be demoted from Triple-A Scranton to Trenton this summer, but the Yankees have had some success figuring these guys out, with Shane Greene being a primary example. Pinder is another pure reliever whose stuff isn't as electric as Burawa's, but he had an excellent season in 2014. He is primarily a fastball-slider guy. Both Burawa and Pinder are expected to open 2015 with the RailRiders and could make their MLB debuts later in the season.
Williams both is and isn't a surprising addition to the 40-man roster. Surprising because he's been flat out terrible for two years running now — he hit .223/.290/.304 (66 wRC+) in 563 plate appearances with the Thunder this past season — and there are reports of major maturity and work ethic issues. Those guys usually aren't rewarded with 40-man spots. It's unsurprising because Williams is a top flight defender in center field and has high-end tools. He was arguably the organization's top prospect two years ago. The Yankees are obviously hoping he grows up a bit and unlocks some of his potential.
Among the players the Yankees opted not to protect from the Rule 5 Draft are first baseman Kyle Roller, left-hander Matt Tracy, and right-handers Mark Montgomery and Zach Nuding. All three pitchers could get selected. Montgomery's stuff has gone backwards the last two years but his slider still misses bats. Nuding throws hard and Tracy is both breathing and left-handed. As a reminder, any player selected in the Rule 5 Draft must remain on his new team's active 25-man roster all season, or be placed on waivers and offered back to his old team before going to the minors.
As for Wheeler, the Yankees didn't sell his rights to Rakuten — Masahiro Tanaka's former team — without his knowledge or out of the blue. Almost always in these situations, the player asked the team for permission to pursue a job overseas and has a contract lined up with a new club. Wheeler presumably did that and the Yankees let him go as a courtesy while also pocketing a little extra cash. Win-win for everyone.
Update: The Yankees received $350,000 for Wheeler's rights, according to Mark Feinsand.
2014 Season Review: Miscellaneous Arms
Thirty-three different players pitched in at least one game for the Yankees this past season — including Dean Anna! — the second most in baseball behind the Rangers, who somehow trotted 40 different players out to the mound. That's the most pitchers the Yankees have used in a single-season in their history, five more than the previous record set back in 2011. Injuries, ineffectiveness, and more contributed to that.
We've already reviewed most of those 33 pitchers, either individually or in groups, but there are still some stray arms running around out there. Here is the final pitching review of the 2014 season. (We still have some other players and personnel to cover, but the season review series will be over soon.)
Preston Claiborne
Remember how bad Claiborne was in Spring Training? He allowed nine runs and 14 hits (!) in only 5.2 Grapefruit League innings and looked as bad as the stats, as hitters where taking very comfortable swings against him. There was some speculation the Yankees would drop Claiborne from the 40-man roster if space was needed, but that never happened. He didn't win a bullpen job in camp (duh) and opened the season with Triple-A Scranton.
The 26-year-old Claiborne actually threw more innings in the big leagues (21) than he did with the RailRiders (20.1) in 2014. That's because he missed roughly eight weeks in the middle of the summer after separating his shoulder. Claiborne went up and down a few times and had a perfectly acceptable 3.00 ERA (3.66 FIP) with the MLB club, though he put 34 men on base in those 21 innings and both his strikeout (6.86 K/9 and 16.7 K%) and walk (4.29 BB/9 and 10.4 BB%) rates were underwhelming. There's also this:
Claiborne's velocity — on all his pitches, not just the fastball — has been gradually declining since he broke into the big leagues last May. He started his MLB career with those nine scoreless innings and 19.1 walk-less innings last year, but he hasn't been the same since the middle of last June or so, pitching to a 5.05 ERA (4.61 FIP) with a 17.7% strikeout rate and a 9.7% walk rate in 51.2 innings since that first career walk. Claiborne is firmly in generic up-and-down reliever territory.
Matt Daley
It's obvious the Yankees liked something about Daley at some point. They first signed him to a minor league contract back during the 2011-12 offseason, when he was recovering from serious shoulder surgery. The Yankees rehabbed him for the entire 2012 season, re-signed him that offseason, then watched him post a 2.02 ERA (1.88 FIP) in 53.1 innings at three minor league levels in 2013 before giving him a September call-up. Daley struck out eight, walked zero, and allowed just two hits in six scoreless innings for the MLB club. He was the pitcher who replaced Mariano Rivera after Mo's emotional farewell at Yankee Stadium.
The Yankees non-tendered the 32-year-old Daley last offseason only to bring him back on yet another minor league contract. The Queens native spend most of the year with Triple-A Scranton, where he had a 4.54 ERA (3.86 FIP) with excellent strikeout (12.11 K/9 and 30.0 K%) and walk (2.02 BB/9 and 5.0 BB%) numbers in 35.2 innings. The Yankees called him up a few times and he had a 5.02 ERA (6.82 FIP) in 14.1 innings. Daley's soft-tossing ways resulted in a lot of hard contact, several long homers (2.51 HR/9!), few strikeouts (6.28 K/9 and 15.9 K%), and too many walks (3.77 BB/9 and 9.5 BB%). He allowed six runs in 1.1 innings in his first appearance, threw 10.1 scoreless innings in his next eight appearances, then allowed at least one run in each of his final four appearances. The Yankees released Daley on September 1st to make 40-man roster space for other call-ups. Such is life.
Jose Ramirez
I was very excited about Ramirez coming into the season. The Yankees finally decided to pull the plug on him as a starter due to his ongoing injury problems, and his upper-90s fastball coupled with his knockout changeup and occasionally devastating slider made him an intriguing short reliever. The potential for dominance is there. Maybe not Dellin Betances level dominance, but dominance.
Ramirez, 24, missed all of Spring Training with an oblique injury and didn't make his season debut with Triple-A Scranton until May 7th. He spent a month with the RailRiders before being called up to the big league team in early-June, replacing Claiborne on the roster. Ramirez made eight appearances with the Yankees, allowed runs in five of them, walked a batter in six of them, and took the loss in two of them. He allowed six runs (5.40 ERA) with ten strikeouts (9.00 K/9 and 20.4 K%) and seven walks (7.00 B/9 and 14.3 BB%) in 10 innings before being sent back to Triple-A in early-July.
After returning to the RailRiders, Ramirez made only two appearances before getting hurt and missing the rest of the season. I can't find any information about the nature of the injury, but he's dealt with it all over the years. Shoulder, elbow, oblique, you name it. Ramirez had a 1.46 ERA (3.44 FIP) in 12.1 total innings in Triple-A. The 2015 season will be Ramirez's final minor league option year, so he'll give it another go and hope to stay healthy so he can prove his worth at the MLB level.
Jim Miller
Like 2013, Miller spent most of 2014 with Triple-A Scranton, where he had a 3.30 ERA (3.10 FIP) in 57.1 innings. The Yankees called him up in early-July, he made two appearances with the team, and allowed six runs on seven hits and two walks in 2.2 innings. Three of those seven hits left the yard. On July 10th, he entered the seventh inning of a game against the Indians with the Yankees down one run. He then allowed five runs in 1.2 innings to put the game out of reach. The Yankees designated Miller for assignment the next day and released him in late-August to clear a roster spot for the RailRiders.
Chaz Roe
The Yankees had a pitcher named Chaz Roe this year. They acquired Chaz Roe on August 31st from the Marlins, where Chaz Roe had spent the season with their Triple-A affiliate. Chaz Roe once had a ridiculous beard:
Chaz Roe appeared in three games with the Yankees. Chaz Roe allowed two runs in his first appearance, walked the only batter he faced in his second appearance, and allowed one run in his third appearance. The Yankees designated Chaz Roe for assignment to clear a 40-man roster spot when Masahiro Tanaka was activated off the 60-day DL at the end of the season. Chaz Roe's tenure in pinstripes ended with three runs allowed in two innings. Chaz Roe, y'all.

What happened to Machine Head really is a crime. Unfortunately for them, it's a crime they perpetrated upon themselves.

Metal Church
Back in 2009, there were a lot of us that were less than thrilled with Metal Church announced they were disbanding. While not for all fans, there's a lot of people out there that considered their LIGHT IN THE DARK release to be one of the best in the history of the band. And while other releases in the Ronny Munroe era of the band have been hit or miss, they brought it strong in the live environment. Further, releases like WEIGHT OF THE WORLD and THIS PRESENT DARKNESS were not bad efforts per se. They just weren't as good as LIGHT IN THE DARK or the classic era material. Having seen the Munroe led version of Metal Church a few times, it was really disheartening to hear they had broken up. Thankfully though, they have brought the band back together after a few years away to regroup, adapt to the business model of modern recording, and just recharge the batteries. The resulting GENERATION NOTHING is a very, very strong effort from the mighty Metal Church.
Korn has always been one of those bands that either hits or misses with me. I've loved some of them (KORN, FOLLOW THE LEADER), and I've hated others (LIFE IS PEACHY, UNTOUCHABLES). Their last release, the dubstep flavored PATH OF TOTALITY, was pretty much unlistenable to me personally. It just turned into so much more of a Jonathan Davis solo project than anything else. For THE PARADIGM SHIFT, the band has returned to their roots in a lot of ways. They have brought back guitarist Head from his religious revival, and with him comes a lot of the older style flavor. While not perfect, THE PARADIGM SHIFT is one of the stronger releases from Korn in awhile.
Neeley of THE CLASSIC METAL SHOW recently spoke with Vista Chino and former Kyuss mainman John Garcia. Garcia was calling in regarding Vista Chino's debut release PEACE. Here's the conversation:
Chris Akin of PITRIFF and THE CLASSIC METAL SHOW recently checked in wit Monster Magnet mainman Dave Wyndorf. Wyndorf talked about the band's brand new release, THE LAST PATROL. Listen to the conversation here:
Chris Akin from THE CLASSIC METAL SHOW and PITRIFF caught up with The Answer lead vocalist Cormac Neeson. Neeson and The Answer have a brand new release called NEW HORIZON. Check out the conversation here:
Pitriff/The Classic Metal Show Host Chris Akin caught up with Alter Bridge and Slash vocalist Myles Kennedy. Kennedy checked in to talk about the brand new Alter Bridge release FORTRESS. Here is the audio from the conversation:
It's been years and years at this point, and it's astounding to me that there's so many people that still talk about the former vocalist of this band each and every time they put out a new release. It's so silly at this point. I'm the first one to agree that releases like ARISE and CHAOS AD are some of the best that have ever been recorded. For so many though that have just written off Sepultura as "dead without Max", you've missed out on a lot of truly great metal. Two of the very best albums released under the Sepultura name (A-LEX and DANTE XXI) have come fairly recently and were fronted by vocalist Derrick Green. Going back to Ross Robinson to produce it and with more fire than they have had in 15 years, THE MEDIATOR BETWEEN HEAD AND HANDS MUST BE THE HEART is the most blistering release Sepultura has put forth since SCHIZOPHRENIA, MORBID VISIONS or the aforementioned ARISE. This is some seriously punishing metal, folks.
This review is being written at the request of a longtime Pitriff reader, who hit me up this week and reminded me that I had not yet reviewed this release from former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted. Being honest, I'm not sure how that happened exactly. Since he came out with his 4 song EP METAL, and right through to today, the new solo music from the project called Newsted has not been away from my iPod for more than a day or two. It doesn't feature anything overly special or anything. Jason Newsted is not the best vocalist in the world. The music isn't the best or more cutting edge heavy metal ever created. In essence, it's a fairly average offering with one mighty exception - attitude. That undying, undeniable metal attitude literally forces HEAVY METAL MUSIC to be loved in the ears of most metalheads. A release full of piss and vinegar without a shred of apology for any of it, HEAVY METAL MUSIC is one of the most enjoyable metal albums of 2013.

He shook his head. "No."

As all the other ships entered the relay he shrugged. "Oops, my comm is down. What orders?" he asked, turning his radio off.

My single friends and I often complain about the limited selection of single men in Chicago. In reality, there are plenty of them, but it can take what seems like forever, and several heartaches and breaks, to meet the right ones. The trouble isn't meeting men, we meet them all over—at the gym, at the bars, through friends—but after the first couple of dates or even several months of dating, the relationships usually end due to lack of chemistry, commitment phobia, or lack of communication. I can continue rattling off the list of reasons for break-ups and sometimes, there doesn't always have to be a clear reason, that's just how dating goes. But, I have started to wonder, how and when should we expand our dating pool?
We spend quite a bit of time complaining about the selection of singles in the city, but perhaps it's our long list of dating requirements that is significantly narrowing the dating pool.
I am certainly guilty of being selective, but recently, I have started to further consider the criteria for my own selectivity. Frequently, people choose to search for the perfect match within their same religion, culture, or past marital status (divorced? children?) due to familiarity, comfort, and acceptance within their family. This makes a lot of sense and perhaps seems to promise a smoother, more seamless marriage. However, I have seen first-hand that there are still plenty of homogeneous couples who, regardless of these similarities, struggle. In fact, just like any other pairing, only a portion of these marriages last. It's well known that 50 percent of all marriages end in divorce, so even if we wind up in a homogenous marriage, our odds will always be 50-50. Marriage is hard work. Which makes me wonder: Do we sometimes set such firm boundaries for ourselves that we inadvertently de-emphasize other important traits that Mr./Mrs. Right should possess and share with us to ensure lifetime happiness? Furthermore, should we be willing to widen our pool and date beyond initial religious and cultural boundaries to expand our options in finding the perfect emotional and intellectual equal?
Of course, it's possible to find someone who matches up religiously and culturally, and fulfills all of our other relationship needs, such as shared morals, hobbies, ambitions, sense of humor, intelligence, respect, and sense of accountability, too. But considering that marriage is a challenge no matter what, as we date and search for our life partner, if we are lucky enough to have the rare experience of meeting someone who loves and accepts us for who we are, does it really matter if they meet that long list of requirements? Maybe it's time we all take a leap of faith.

Plans for a third runway and a sixth terminal at Heathrow, to open by 2020, are due to be announced in the next few weeks.
If it gets the go-ahead, residents in inner London should benefit, but millions of people in outer London and the Home Counties will either hear aircraft noise for the first time or an increase in aircraft flying directly overhead, says The Times today.

From Delia smith, national treasure. The long, slow cooking of red onions and balsamic vinegar gives a lovely sweet, concentrated caramel consistency. These are then spooned into crisp cheese pastry cases and topped with melted goats' cheese and sage. Serve them as a special first course with some balsamic-dressed salad leaves, or 2 tarts per person make a brilliant light lunch.

Larry Reeb, or Uncle Lar as he's often called, is a Chicago-based comedian who has made a name for himself as a noted fixture of the Mid-West stand-up comedy circuit. A frequent guest of the Bob & Tom radio show, Reeb has developed somewhat of a cult following for his snarky yet endearing stories of living in a metropolitan city and dealing with homeless populations, corporate lackeys, pigeons, public transportation and various other city life contentions. Though Reeb isn't necessary considered a family-friendly comic, his style is refined, calculated and smart, eliminating the need for cheap laughs that many comedians receive from the use slapstick humor and innate props.

If you haven't mapped out your migration plans yet, it could be too late now, says Microsoft
Windows XP had faced deadlines before, but could this be the absolute end to its protracted 12-year run?
By April 8 next year, Microsoft will no longer provide security updates, hot-fixes and free or paid support for its well-loved operating system Windows XP and productivity suite Office 2003.
By modern desktop, Rose means operating systems such as Windows 7 and Windows 8, later versions of Office such as 2010 and 2013 and browsers such as Internet Explorer 8, 9, and 10
He said in order to ensure organizations continue to operate supported versions of Windows and Office, companies should begin planning and application testing immediately.
A simple upgrade to Windows 7 or Windows 8 is not enough either, according to Rose. He said administrators or users need to make a clean install.
"This means you will need to migrate the users' data and reinstall or repackage all their applications for the new OS," Rose said. "This will take some time to test all of the hardware, peripherals and applications to ensure they will work with Windows 7 or Windows 8."
Because end of support means that there will be no new security updates, no non-security hotfixes and free or paid support for Windows XP, organizations that insist on using the OS after April 8 next year are exposed to security and compliance risk, said Rose.
For instance, this could result in officially recognized control failure by an internal or external body which could lead to suspension of certifications and/or public notification of the organization's ability to maintain its systems and customer information.
2,125 Canadians want to save Windows XP
Users desert Windows XP in near-record numbers
Dell says financial woes caused by Windows 8
In June of 2008, Microsoft stopped selling XP through retailers in a move to encourage users to switch to its successor OS, Vista.
More than 2,100 readers supported a ComputerWorld Canada Save XP campaign earlier that year. Companies also complained to ComputerWorld Canada that upgrading to Vista would be too expensive for them.
The end of Support for XP was extended to January 31, 2009. The introduction of netbooks also created a boost for XP sales, winning the aging operating system more users and earning it more extensions.
By January last year, however, XP usage began shrinking as more people started to abandon the decade-old OS for the newer Windows 7.
Microsoft is currently having a hard time getting users to switch over to the successor of Windows 7. The company is currently struggling to bump up adoption of its new touch-enhanced operating system Windows 8.

Thread: twins with the same names
August 4th, 2013 03:39 PM #6
Meh. I'm not sure how I feel about it. My uncle is Bruce Ashley and his brother is Ashley Bruce. So it just seems not that odd to me, but on the other hand, I always thought it was weird my uncle and his brother both shared essentially the same name. I find the pairing of Carter and Ralph a bit more odd than actually using Carter Ralph and Ralph Carter, lol. They seem so different.Ashley

I've seen people do that and it drives me insane. I've also seen people give their twins the same middle name EX: Caitlin Grace & Carly Grace, which equally drives me insane. They are two different people, not two halves of one whole. I have a lot of friends who are multiples (twins and triplets) and growing up with them I have a lot of strong opinions on the subject.Violet Gray

I've never seen that in twins before, but personally, I think it's awful. They need to be unique and their own person...they'll share enough growing up without sharing a name.

Deadmau5 Rumble
1 Attachment(s)
I attached a ****ty drawing I did for my Deadmau5 Rumble idea. I was thinking his Flame-Spitter could be a fog machine, his Electro Harpoon could be glow sticks, and The Equalizer could drop speakers. I haven't been able to think of anything for his Scrap Shield or when he goes into overdrive, so please suggest ideas.
well, it would certainly be interesting to see, and I can see it actually making sense... Yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing something like that!
i cant think of animations for spells though

Mobile data traffic has exploded around the world as tablets, smartphones, and cellphones have proliferated to every corner of the globe. Each year, Cisco releases its updated Visual Networking Index (VNI) survey, which includes data on the volume of mobile traffic. Cisco VNI combines analyst assessments and direct data collection to forecast anticipated mobile data growth.
We retrieved data from Cisco VNI forecasts for the years from 2009 to 2014. In looking at its projections, their forecasts show a high rate of mobile traffic growth, but at decreasing rates each year. Table 1 shows the Compound Annual Growth Rate that Cisco VNI has reported (see the links below for each year's report). From this, we can see that Cisco has dropped its mobile growth projections from 131 percent in 2009 to 61 percent in 2014.
The reason these numbers are important is that variations in Compound Annual Growth Rates have tremendous implications in terms of longterm projections. For example, Figure 1 depicts Cisco VNI forecasts for mobile traffic growth at different levels of growth. If one extrapolates each of those projections through the out years, one can see significant impact on the numbers. For example, a growth rate of 61 percent leads to a 2018 forecast of 16 exabytes per month, while one of 131 percent generates a 2018 forecast of 143 exabytes per month.
The clear implication of this analysis is that researchers should be cautious about five-year projections. Small differences in compound annual growth rates produce very different numbers in the out-years. They lead to very different needs in terms of infrastructure development, private investment, and spectrum policy. It makes a big difference whether the world expects 16 or 143 exabytes per month of mobile data traffic in 2018.

Do you have to use kosher salt? Would regular table salt or sea salt also work?
jamie568 on 1.22.2011
My S/O asked me to make Buckeyes and I am ashamed to admit, I didn't even know what they were. lol. I came directly here and picked this recipe to try, I liked the whole salty/sweet concept with the pinch of kosher salt. I caught some flac asking him to pick up Gulf wax but he got over it when he popped the first one in his mouth. They were wonderful, really wonderful. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
firewife40 on 12.19.2010
I haven't even finished these yet and I had to comment. My husband asked for Buckeyes for Christmas this year. I came straight to TK and this was the first recipe for them I saw. I can't tell you how impressed I am with the ease of this recipe. The peanut butter dough was so easy to make and work with. I can't wait to taste the finished product! I also used only about 2 cups of powdered sugar and the dough came together wonderfully. Thank you for such a great recipe, this one is going in my permanent must-make file!
thatmamasarah on 12.3.2010
Just finished making these – so delicious and perfect! They look so darling. I used all the powdered sugar and also the wax; I'm thrilled with how they turned out. The only problem is that I can't get my husband to stop eating them! Your recipe yielded 49 buckeyes for me… hopefully I'll have some left to give away! Thank you!
rachelbunny on 3.27.2010
Oh, i also did not use the paraffin wax, because i didn't have any on hand. I compensated by making sure the chocolate was pretty thick (i.e. not too warm) and so each buckeye had plenty of chocolate. Just in case anyone reading was wondering.

In each store, opticians fit customers for contacts, frames, and sunglasses, catering to special needs of those such as athletes, children, and near-sighted spiders. Even after customers leave the premises, quality service remains a top priority for Sterling, so it backs each purchase with a 30-day guarantee. Additionally, it encourages customers to give feedback on the website to ensure that stores are performing up to Sterling's own standards. Most locations accept appointments seven days a week through an online appointment scheduler, though a few locations only make appointments by phone or carrier pigeon.

Paul Zavala
Anaheim, California
As a police officer for a large department in Orange County, CA, I have spent the last nine years working accident investigation and vehicle enforcement. I have seen time after time that, in almost every traffic collision involving a Mercedes-Benz, the driver and passengers in the Mercedes fared much better than the people in the other car. Prior to this, I had always thought that all vehicles were the same — except that some had features that were more like "gimmicks" installed to induce consumers to purchase them. I had also thought that a Mercedes was priced out of my reach, and that I could never afford one.
But then I began to think, "Could I ever afford to lose a loved one to a traffic collision because the vehicle they were riding in was not equipped with the latest structural design and safety features that Mercedes puts into its vehicles?" My wife has driven a Mercedes ever since, and I will insist that she do so until we no longer drive.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- Eric Kronberg earned his third shutout in four group matches and Sporting Kansas City withstood two disallowed goals to advance to the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals with a scoreless draw against Honduras' CD Olimpia on Wednesday night.
Sporting (2-0-2) needed only a draw to move on to its first regional knockout competition since the 2002 CONCACAF Champions Cup. Olimpia (2-1-1) needed a win to advance.
Teal Bunbury had an apparent goal waved off in the 36th minute and Graham Zusi in the 54th, both after offside calls.
Olimpia goalkeeper Noel Valladares kept the visitors in contention with four saves. Kronberg needed only one save for his shutout.
Sporting centre back Aurelien Collin will miss the first leg of next year's quarterfinal round on a yellow-card suspension.

Apple co-founder, former CEO, and chairman Steve Jobs has passed away at age 56, and although the event was not entirely unexpected, it hit the technology community and the outside world hard. We're devoting this special issue of TidBITS entirely to Steve Jobs, starting with Jeff Carlson's news coverage and a large collection of links to other Jobs-related content from around the Internet. We also have thoughts on Jobs's legacy from TidBITS staffers Mark H. Anbinder and Rich Mogull, and from guest contributor Angus Wong. Finally, TidBITS publisher Adam Engst explores the question of why Steve Jobs's death has been so unsettling for so many people. Look for your regular issue of TidBITS shortly.

Biography of LaSoaphia QuXazs
I work out my life by writing a poem every time something comes to my attention and I have the feeling for it.
I'd like to publish here some of my Life Philosophy. However, I know only those people will see it, who understand, and already have some knowledge on the subject.
Let us all evolve on the road of life with the speed what we are able to take.
I do my best to follow the great teachers, such as the Bible and the TAO, and familiar of the teaching, that we are what we think, by picking up the appropriate lifestyle.
Everybody is just a traveler on the road of Life, where lessons are given. There is no good, there is no bad, only life lessons.
I came a long way from 1934, went through a war, a revolution, starvation, poverty and I can relate to everybody on this Earth.
Love you all, wishing you God's best of Health, Good life and true Happiness in all your life.

Many different poems from
Rainer Maria Rilke
There was time in my life when I was frustrated,
Nervous, angry, troubled and agitated.
Everybody was unfair to me, I received no respect,
Couldn't understand where I went wrong, how to correct.
Then I learned more and more how life operates,
It was not easy to learn who does and who doesn't cooperates.
However, the meaning of the puzzle fit together at the end,
I am the one who caused everything, good or bad, the need is to unbend.

I have to use a default Role so that after the datasource has been defined and connected that role will allow me to use select statements. I know its little weird but I have to do it due to security concerns. So here is the code in my Spring's applicationContext.xml:
<bean id="dataSource" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource"
<property name="driverClassName" value="com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver" />
<property name="url"
value="jdbc:db2://host_name:Port/DB_NAME:INFORMIXSERVER=SERVER_NAME;DELIMIDENT=y;" />
<property name="username" value="user" />
<property name="password" value="password" />
<property name="minIdle" value="2" />
Everything is fine I am able to connect to the datasource but I also need to tell the database that all the queries will be through this ROLE so that I do have select rights and stuff: For command prompt I am doing like this:
set role ROLE_ACCESS_SELECT;
before executing sql commands but don't know how to set it up here.
Please advice.

Landmarks praised BKSK Architects for its "contextual" design for a mixed-use building to replace a gas station at 112 Atlantic Avenue in Cobble Hill, but asked the architects to scale down the windows, particularly on the side of the building on Henry Street, and reduce the bulkhead on the roof. Only one attendee at the meeting Tuesday spoke in favor of the building as it was, and the Cobble Heights Association and others spoke against it, New York YIMBY and The Brooklyn Eagle reported.
The building's "large, industrial-looking windows…might be more appropriate in Red Hook," said Barbara Zay of the Historic Districts Council, according to YIMBY. Click through to YIMBY to see the full presentation.
As you may recall, Community Board 6 rejected the proposal last month.
