text: Nothing would be easier for British rock legends UFO than to rest on their laurels. The band could easily release the occasional best-of album to earn a few additional royalties and otherwise content themselves with looking back at their exceptionally glorious past. But idleness or indeed a musical standstill have always been out of the question for Phil Mogg, Paul Raymond, Andy Parker, and Vinnie Moore. These experienced and ambitious musicians are interested in the present, their love of creativity and the active continuation of their celebrated band history. Their latest album 'Seven Deadly' combines present and future with UFO's greatest fortes and features some of the strongest compositions this band has ever recorded. They hit the road in 2015 – don't miss out!

Manually install Sun Java Plugin + Iceweasel on Debian Wheezy
Those who, like me, are using Debian GNU / Linux as the operating system for your desktop, will certainly have noticed that a few months ago about this fantastic distribution has been deleted the package version of Java product from SUN (now Oracle) and in its place is You can use the version of OpenJDK . At the same time they are also missing the plugin for Iceweasel (the default browser installed in Debian) package related to the SUN (now Oracle), and instead you must use the IcedTea plugin. However, it may happen to have the need to use the right version of Java closed for Oracle and its plugin for Iceweasel and, therefore, I decided to write this guide that explains how to install them manually on your desktop and use debian painlessly version closed Java. First you need to download the binary package of the ' latest version of Java from Oracle's website. The moment you write the original version 6 update 31 After you have downloaded the appropriate file using the browser, we proceed by opening a terminal and acquire root privileges; then we move to the directory where the binary file and you give the rights to read and execute simple even for users:
$ Su
# Cd
# Chmod 755 jre-6u31-linux-x64.bin
At this point we run the binary file downloaded; this is not the first to come back momentanemente user without root privileges:
# Exit
$ Sh jre-6u31-linux-x64.bin
As you will note, the execution of the binary file will do nothing but create a new subdirectory in the files needed to run programs in java.
At this point we are ready to teach you to use Debian as their own version of Java that you just downloaded. To do this we will use the tool magnifito "update-alternatives".
Still in the terminal we regain root privileges and execute the following commands:
$ Su
# Update-alternatives -install / usr / bin / java java /<directory_binario_scaricato>/jre1.6.0_31/bin/java 1000
To verify that the installation was successful, terminal, you can request to know the version of Java used by the command shown in the box and you should see a message like this:
$ Java -version
java version "1.6.0_31"
Java (TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_31-b04)
Java HotSpot (TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.6-b01, mixed mode)
In case, there is the use of another version of Java, I recommend that you read this later.
At this point we are ready to instruct the browser Iceweasel for you to use the Java plug-in provided by the package produced by Oracle. Also in this case we will use the command update-alternatives, but in quest'ltro way:
# Update-alternatives -install /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so mozilla-javaplugin.so /<directory_binario_scaricato>/jre1.6.0_31/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so 2000
Closing and reopening the browser you can type in the address bar as follows:
about: plugins
Of course you'll see a series of plugins including also some called "Java (TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_31". At this point you can point your browser to one of the auditing services for the Java plugin in use (such as this ) and verify that indeed the version used is the correct one.
In case you had previously installed other versions of java, you can select which one to use by default between those installed by simply following the instructions that appear by typing the command:
# Update-alternatives-config java
Or, in case you have the same need with Iceweasel plugin, you can enter the command:
# Update-alternatives-config mozilla-javaplugin.so

An OutsiderƒÆ''¢ƒ¢-¡'¬ƒ¢-¾'¢s ViewƒÆ''¢ƒ¢-¡'¬"'16 Paticca Samuppada Model Offers a Superb Approach to Analyze Universal Phenomena
Posted on May 15th, 2012
By Shelton Gunaratne, professor emeritus at Minnesota State University Moorhead
Recently, the Lankaweb published two essays on the doctrine of paticca samuppada (P.S.): one by Suwanda Sugunasiri on May 9, and the other by R. Chandrasoma on May 12. ƒÆ'-¡ P.S. is central to Buddhist philosophy because Buddha intended it as an aid to understand the operational mechanics of the Four Noble Truths. It is the cardinal doctrine of interdependence or dependent co-arising, also translated as dependent co-origination, conditioned genesis, or conditioned co-production. (Note the inability of English to translate Pali/Sanskrit terminology more economically.)
Both commentators have brought to our attention aspects of P.S. that Buddhist philosophers rarely discuss. I wish to point out some weaknesses in each of their essays pending further discussion by other readers. Because I am not conversant in Pali or Sanskrit, my knowledge of Buddhist philosophy comes from books written in English and Sinhala. My primary source for learning about the P.S. doctrine was Joanna MacyƒÆ''¢ƒ¢-¡'¬ƒ¢-¾'¢s 1991 classic Mutual Causality in Buddhism and General Systems Theory: The Dharma of Natural Systems. Sugunasiri refers to it while Chandrasoma ignores it.
SugunasiriƒÆ''¢ƒ¢-¡'¬ƒ¢-¾'¢s Vesak Speech
Sugunasiri, who identifies himself as a Buddhist scholar, creates the impression that he has ingeniously found ƒÆ''¢ƒ¢-¡'¬ƒ…-a novel perspectiveƒÆ''¢ƒ¢-¡'¬ in the abidhamma-inspired Nidanasamyutta version of P.S., which presents the interaction of 12 nidanas in sequential order:
- WithƒÆ'-¡ AvidyƒÆ'-¾ƒÆ'-¡ (Ignorance)ƒÆ'-¡ as condition,ƒÆ'-¡ SaƒÆ''¡¹ƒ" -â"¢skƒÆ'-¾ra (Mental Formations)ƒÆ'-¡ arise
- WithƒÆ'-¡ SaƒÆ''¡¹ƒ" -â"¢skƒÆ'-¾raƒÆ'-¡ as condition,ƒÆ'-¡ VijƒÆ'†'±ƒÆ'-¾naƒÆ'-¡ (Consciousness) arises
- With VijƒÆ'†'±ƒÆ'-¾na as condition, NƒÆ'-¾marƒÆ'-¦«pa (Mind and Matter) arise
- With NƒÆ'-¾marƒÆ'-¦«pa as condition, ƒÆ''¡¹¢aƒÆ''¡¸ƒÆ'-¾yatana (Sense Gates) arise
- WithƒÆ'-¡ ƒÆ''¡¹¢aƒÆ''¡¸ƒÆ'-¾yatanaƒÆ'-¡ as condition,ƒÆ'-¡ SparƒÆ'-¦"'ºaƒÆ'-¡ (ƒÆ'-¡ Contact) arises
- WithƒÆ'-¡ SparƒÆ'-¦"'ºaƒÆ'-¡ as condition,ƒÆ'-¡ VedanƒÆ'-¾ (Feeling)ƒÆ'-¡ arises
- WithƒÆ'-¡ VedanƒÆ'-¾ƒÆ'-¡ as condition,ƒÆ'-¡ TƒÆ''¡¹"'ºƒÆ''¡¹£ƒÆ''¡¹"'¡ƒÆ'-¾ƒÆ'-¡ (Craving) arises
- With TƒÆ''¡¹"'ºƒÆ''¡¹£ƒÆ''¡¹"'¡ƒÆ'-¾ as condition, UpƒÆ'-¾dƒÆ'-¾na (Clinging) arises
- WithƒÆ'-¡ UpƒÆ'-¾dƒÆ'-¾naƒÆ'-¡ as condition,ƒÆ'-¡ BhavaƒÆ'-¡ (Becoming) arises
- WithƒÆ'-¡ BhavaƒÆ'-¡ as condition,ƒÆ'-¡ JƒÆ'-¾tiƒÆ'-¡ (Birth) arises
- WithƒÆ'-¡ JƒÆ'-¾tiƒÆ'-¡ as condition,ƒÆ'-¡ JarƒÆ'-¾maraƒÆ''¡¹"'¡aƒÆ'-¡ (Aging and Dying) arise
Sugunasiri points out that this 12-nidana (links) version includes three additional links ƒÆ''¢ƒ¢-¡'¬"…"Avidya (ignorance), Samskara (mental formations) and Sadayatana (sense gates)ƒÆ''¢ƒ¢-¡'¬"'absent in the nine-nidana version of Mahanidana-sutta. The placement of Jati (birth) in the 11th sequence had puzzled many people. However, if one were to apply the 12-link P.S. model as a ƒÆ''¢ƒ¢-¡'¬ƒ…-heuristic deviceƒÆ''¢ƒ¢-¡'¬ to explain the stages of development and growth of the fetus (within the domain of one lifetime), the model serves the purpose with astonishing clarity.
But I sense a whiff of ingenuous self-congratulation on the part of Sugunasiri when he implicitly claims credit for revealing the relationship between the fetus and the 12-nidana P.S. model. In fact, a school of thought exists that claims that the P.S. model ƒÆ''¢ƒ¢-¡'¬ƒ…-is unambiguously an ancient tract that was originally written on the subject of the conception and development of the embryo, as a sequence of stages prior to birth.ƒÆ''¢ƒ¢-¡'¬
[Wikipedia] As a Buddhist scholar, Sugunasiri should have acknowledged it in the interest of academic integrity.
Eisel Mazard is a chief protagonist of this school. In an essay (titled ƒÆ''¢ƒ¢-¡'¬ƒ…-Unpopular facts about one of Buddhist philosophyƒÆ''¢ƒ¢-¡'¬ƒ¢-¾'¢s most popular doctrinesƒÆ''¢ƒ¢-¡'¬) Mazard published in New Mandala (Jan. 27, 2011), he asserts:
ƒÆ''¢ƒ¢-¡'¬ƒ…-Contrary to the great bulk of English language interpretations, my thesis is simply that the 12-links formula concerns the development of the embryo, i.e., including the arising of consciousness in the womb.ƒÆ'-¡ Conversely, the text is expressly not about the arising of consciousness is [sic] any other sense of the term(s).ƒÆ'-¡ The consciousness described in this text indicates a stage of development that transpires inside the womb; this, too, may is [sic] stated (blatantly enough) within theƒÆ'-¡ MahƒÆ'-¾nidƒÆ'-¾na and may be affirmed from other contexts presenting the doctrine.ƒÆ''¢ƒ¢-¡'¬
ChandrasomaƒÆ''¢ƒ¢-¡'¬ƒ¢-¾'¢s Challenge
Chandrasoma challenges Ven. NyanatilokaƒÆ''¢ƒ¢-¡'¬ƒ¢-¾'¢s claim that P.S. could explain all physical and psychic phenomena in the universe on the grounds that Buddha intended his Dhamma only for human beings. Although Buddha was only another human being, his enlightenment enabled him to use his psychic powers (sarwagnana) to analyze phenomena in universal terms even without help from quantum physics. Therefore, Buddha Dhamma relates to all living beings in the billions of galaxies constituting the universe. The bhavacakra/samsara (Wheel of Existence) covers the entire (multiple?) universe. The current level of advanced science is unable to test the complex interaction, interdependence and interconnection of all universal elements, both physical and psychic. This shows the limitation of science, not the abstruseness of Buddhist philosophy. As Karl Popper says, all science-based facts are subject to change (the law of anicca).
Samyutta Nikaya describes P.S. as a four-part formula:
This being, that becomes
From the arising of this, that arises
This not being, that becomes not
From the ceasing of this, that ceases
This is the Buddha word untarnished by abidhamma (commentaries). Although it sounds simple, its meaning is profound and complex so much so that Chandrasoma is valiantly nonplused to quiz how it is possible to link categorically different nidanas such as Avidya (ignorance) and Sparsa (contact) in the elongated more commonly cited 12-nidana version of P.S. reproduced earlier.
The profundity of the four-line version of P.S. lies in its consistency with the other fundamentals of Buddhist philosophy: e.g., the rejection of a First Cause and the acceptance of the samsara/bhavacakra as a phenomenon with no beginning or end. Sentient beings can escape the trap of samsara only through understanding of, and adherence to, the Four Noble Truths.
The abidhamma (commentaries) version of P.S., which implies Avidya (ignorance) as the first condition that co-arises with Samskara (mental formations), which gives rise to Vijnana (consciousness) and so on also fails to capture the Buddha word accurately because it violates the rejection of a First Cause. Only a P.S. model that recognizes the non-linear interactions of plausible nidanas (irrespective of the number involved) will be consistent with Buddhist philosophy, which rejects the existence of independent nidanasƒÆ''¢ƒ¢-¡'¬"'just as how atoms behave in quantum physics. As it stands, the 12-link PS model that bothƒÆ'-¡ Chandrasoma and Sugunasiri refer to is no better than a linear model like the Cartesian-Newtonian model.
Buddha broached the paticca samuppada (P.S.) doctrine to illustrate the operation of the Four Noble Truths: that dukkha (suffering/, discontent/unhappiness) is coterminous with existence; that the samudaya (origin/source) of dukkha is tanha (desire/attachment); and that nirodha (cessation of dukkha) is possible by following the magga (Noble Eightfold Path).
Buddha was an extraordinary philosopher who was born in the era of other great philosophers like Laozi, Confucius and Heraclitus. He was not a scientist though his philosophy provided irrefutable truths that science cannot disprove: Nothing in the universe is autonomous; everything is dependent on everything else. This philosophy was the precursor to modern general systems theory.
The soundness of Buddhist philosophy lies in its ability to assay any world problem (e.g., global warming, international economic order, turmoil in the Middle East, the unwinnable economic war between capitalism and socialism, etc.) by applying systems thinking embedded in the PS model.
More of our contemporary scholars and journalists could apply BuddhaƒÆ''¢ƒ¢-¡'¬ƒ¢-¾'¢s systems thinking to analyze the problems affecting the contemporary world and find solutions of benefit to all. Qualitative analysis based on the P.S. model can be more helpful than science-based quantitative analyses.

|La Colombe Corsica
Growing up in Delaware, I had my first real coffee at Brew Ha Ha! at Branmar Plaza. I would save up my allowance so I could get bitter shots of espresso that would make me so hyped up that I would be fidgety to the point of nausea.
Good Times.
The coffee at Brew Ha Ha was La Colombe Coffee. Last year, I had a chance to meet the owner and head roaster of the brand on his trip to Seoul. I found out that he was distributing the coffee at a couple restaurants and cafes in Seoul. When our sponsor, Suji's Restaurant, was in search of new coffee- I suggested they use La Colombe. Now, I don't know if that's the reason why they decided to go with the brand, but I am so glad they did.
La Colombe Coffee has a richness that other coffees don't have. When it is poured as a shot, it has a rich, crema that reminds me of my youth as I put spoon after spoon of sugar to mask the taste.

Jim Johnson Rumors
AL West Notes: Preller, Gallo, Johnson, A's
The AL West has three teams on pace for postseason play and is home to the two best records in baseball. The 59-36 A's hold a slim lead over the 57-37 Angels, while the Mariners' 51-44 record gives them a 2.5 edge over the Royals and Blue Jays for the second AL wild card slot. On the flip side, Houston (40-56) and Texas (38-57) hold the American League's two worst records, with the Rangers' eight-game losing streak dropping them to worst record in the game.
Here's the latest from around the AL West…
- Rangers assistant GM A.J. Preller will receive a second interview for the Padres' general manager job, Gerry Fraley of the Dallas Morning News reports. Of the dozen or so candidates known to have interviewed for the job, Preller is thought to be the first to receive a second meeting with San Diego's upper management team.
- Also from Fraley, he notes that the Rangers are projected to draw around 400,000 fewer fans than last season, and he speculates this drop in attendance could impact the club's 2015 payroll.
- Joey Gallo's power was the talk of yesterday's Futures Game, and WEEI.com's Alex Speier is already wondering how the Rangers prospect could have fallen to the 39th pick of the 2012 draft. The Red Sox, in particular, had two bonus compensation picks plus their own first-rounder with Gallo still on the board and yet passed on him all three times (drafting Deven Marrero, Brian Johnson and Pat Light instead).
- When Drew Pomeranz is ready to return to the Athletics' 25-man roster, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle hints that the A's could make room by parting ways with Jim Johnson. The A's nearly dealt Johnson to the Marlins last month and there have been reports that Oakland would be willing to eat most of Johnson's remaining salary (approximately $4.2MM) in a trade. Johnson has been a major disappointment in his first season as an Athletic, posting a 6.18 ERA and losing his closer's job to Sean Doolittle.
- The Athletics' seven All-Stars took some very different paths to get to Oakland, Tim Britton of the Providence Journal writes, which is a tribute to how creatively the team has built its first-place roster.

AL Notes: Zimmer, Fowler, Castro, Johnson, Coliseum
The baseball world suffered a notable loss today with the passing of Rays senior advisor Don Zimmer. It would be impossible to honor Zimmer's legacy adequately in a brief note, but suffice it to say that he has been said to have "come as close to seeing it all as a baseball man can possibly come." And that was over a decade ago.
Here's the latest out of the American League:
- The Astros formally completed their acquisition of Dexter Fowler from the Rockies by picking up an additional $25K, Evan Drellich of the Houston Chronicle reported yesterday via Twitter. While that sum is obviously of marginal import, the results of that swap remain fascinating to follow. Fowler has put up a fairly typical (if less powerful than usual) .257/.375/.356 line as Houston's everyday center fielder. Meanwhile, Jordan Lyles (3.46 ERA through 69 innings) and Brandon Barnes (.295/.339/.390 through 116 plate appearances) have both been productive, but have cooled of late.
- Astros backstop Jason Castro said today that he has only had preliminary talks regarding an extension, none of which have been recent, reports Drellich. "It's something you try not to think about obviously during the season, but you know, I would love to be a part of the Astros moving forward," he said. "Obviously it's an exciting tie, and we'll see what happens moving forward." Castro has cooled dowwn from his .835 OPS 2013, posting a .230/.306/.383 triple-slash through 206 plate appearances this season. He is earning $2.45MM in his first year of arbitration eligibility.
- It was reported earlier today that the Athletics nearly shipped deposed closer Jim Johnson to the Marlins. Conflicting reports later emerged about the nature of Oakland's intentions going forward, both via Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (Twitter links). While a rival rival executive told Rosenthal that the A's were willing to eat all of Johnson's remaining salary and had offered him to multiple clubs, an Oakland source later called that statement "a lie" and denied that Johnson was being shopped. Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle later reported that the club would indeed be interested in moving Johnson "in the right deal," and that the A's might consider picking up most of the $6.5MM tab still owed on the 30-year-old righty.
- Athletics co-owner Lew Wolff said recently that the club is close to inking a ten-year lease that would keep the team at the O.co Coliseum, Carolyn Jones of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. What that actually means is somewhat more difficult to assess, and Mark Purdy of the Mercury News breaks down what is known and what is yet to come. There is too much to cover to treat it sufficiently here, but the bottom line, according to Purdy, is that it is much too early to say that a new contract would put an end to the team's efforts to find a new ballpark deal (let alone the possibility of that stadium landing in San Jose). Purdy further detailed the exceedingly complex situation in an earlier piece.

Marlins, A's Nearly Completed Jim Johnson Trade Last Week
The Marlins raised some eyebrows by trading their Competitive Balance draft pick (No. 39 overall) to the Pirates last week in exchange for right-hander Bryan Morris and using the extra cash to sign Kevin Gregg. However, the team almost made an even larger acquisition, according to FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal, who reports that Miami nearly sent the pick to the A's in exchange for fallen closer Jim Johnson.
Oakland was willing to make the deal, according to Rosenthal, and they were also willing to pay a chunk of the nearly $6.5MM remaining on Johnson's salary, with Miami including another player and remaining on the hook for at least the $1.4MM total of the draft slot. Ultimately, however, the Marlins went a different route.
Rosenthal notes that the A's aren't shopping Johnson but were willing to move the right-hander when approached by the Marlins, who were "aggressively" pursuing bullpen help. The 30-year-old Johnson has disappointed in his first season with the A's, who acquired him from the Orioles in the offseason.
After back-to-back 50-save seasons, Johnson has pitched to a 6.55 ERA in 22 innings and lost the closer's job to Sean Doolittle. Johnson has seen his walk and strikeout rates trend in the wrong direction, but he's also been plagued by a .390 BABIP. His ground-ball rate remains elite, and his velocity hasn't declined, so the Marlins likely figured that he could rebound to something closer to his previous form with the O's. Indeed, sabermetric ERA estimators such as FIP (3.65), xFIP (4.42) and SIERA (4.10) all feel that he's been vastly better than his ERA indicates. A move to the National League likely would be of benefit as well.
Perhaps the Marlins felt that they'd prefer to save some money and take a chance on two relievers rather than one. They may have thought the player going back to Oakland in the proposed deal was too steep a price to pay in the end. Their ultimate line of thinking isn't clear, but Rosenthal's report does suggest that the 30-28 Marlins do feel they can compete even without the likes of Jose Fernandez in the rotation.

A's, Jim Johnson Avoid Arbitration
6:45pm: Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports that Johnson received a $10MM salary (Twitter link).
6:36pm: The Athletics have avoided arbitration with closer Jim Johnson by agreeing to a one-year contract, the team announced on Twitter. Johnson is represented by Moye Sports Associates. Terms of the deal weren't disclosed, but the right-hander was projected to earn $10.8MM by MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz.
Johnson was acquired by the A's in exchange for Jemile Weeks in a salary dump with the Orioles. The right-hander's hefty arbitration price tag is driven by his Major League leading 101 saves over the past two seasons. Johnson also owns a 2.70 ERA with 6.1 K/9 and 2.1 BB/9 over the past three seasons, and his ground-ball rate hasn't dipped below last season's robust 58 percent since the 2010 campaign. He will inherit the ninth inning in Oakland following Grant Balfour's departure.
Johnson represents one of the most interesting arbitration cases in this year's class, as Swartz outlined in an Arbitration Breakdown piece in November. Because so few closers go year-to-year for as long as Johnson has, and because back-to-back 50-save campaigns are so rare, there were few comparables to use when crafting a projection for his 2014 salary. In fact, the best comparable for Johnson's 2014 arbitration case could be Johnson's own 2013 arbitration case, Swartz noted.
Oakland GM Billy Beane still has five remaining arbitration cases, as can be seen in MLBTR's Arbitration Tracker: Jed Lowrie, Craig Gentry, Brandon Moss, Josh Reddick and Luke Gregerson.

Orioles Notes: Free Agents, Johnson, Wolf, Feldman
The Orioles have been connected to some of the offseason's major free agent names but Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun isn't sure that the O's will be players for Shin-Soo Choo, Ubaldo Jimenez or Nelson Cruz. Choo will be too costly and Jimenez will demand too many years, while Connolly has "not found anyone in the organization that endorses Cruz as a viable option" and lists several reasons why Cruz isn't a fit in Baltimore. Here's some more from Camden Yards…
- Jim Johnson asked the Orioles for a four-year contract worth $45MM-$50MM in extension talks earlier this winter, sources tell MASNsports.com's Roch Kubatko. An extension would've been one way for the O's to keep Johnson at a lower price rather than pay him a projected $10.8MM in arbitration, though obviously Johnson didn't have a bargain in mind with his demands. The Orioles traded Johnson to the Athletics for Jemile Weeks on Tuesday.
- The Orioles didn't attend Randy Wolf's workout and don't appear to have any interest in the veteran southpaw, Kubatko reports. Wolf pitched in five games for Baltimore at the end of the 2012 season and then underwent Tommy John surgery that October, sidelining him for all of 2013.
- Scott Feldman told Dan Connolly that he was "about 90 percent sure" the Orioles didn't make him a former offer. "It's really hard to get disappointed with the situation I am in, but I was at least expecting a little bit of interest from them. But it's not like I'm mad or anything," Feldman said in the wake of his three-year, $30MM deal with the Astros. That third guaranteed year was likely the breaking point for the Orioles, as they had been rumored to only be interested in giving Feldman two years and an option, at most. MLBTR's Steve Adams has more from Feldman's conference call.
- The Orioles have considered making Bud Norris their closer to replace Johnson, Eduardo A. Encina of the Baltimore Sun reports. This move would only be a "fallback option," Encina notes. While the O's may yet add a starter and need to make room in their rotation, shifting an innings-eater like Norris to the bullpen would be a curious move, in my opinion. Also from Encina's piece, Brian Matusz will be stretched out and given an opportunity to win a rotation job during Spring Training.
- Adam Jones' six-year, $85.5MM extension signed in May 2012 looks like a better bargain in the wake of Jacoby Ellsbury's deal with the Yankees, Steve Melewski of MASNsports.com opines.
- In Baltimore news from earlier today, the Orioles signed outfielder Francisco Peguero and right-hander Ryan Webb.

Athletics Acquire Jim Johnson For Jemile Weeks
The Athletics have officially acquired closer Jim Johnson from the Orioles in exchange for second baseman Jemile Weeks. Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (via Twitter) was the first to report the deal. The Orioles also pick up a player to be named later or future considerations in the deal, tweets Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun.
The Baltimore closer had been projected by MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz to earn a $10MM+ payday through arbitration for the Orioles, but will now have the opportunity to try and break eight figures in Oakland. Rosenthal reported earlier this evening that talks were heating up between the A's and O's on Johnson.
The big right-hander has led the bigs in saves over 2012-13, with 101 total to his credit. Last year, he pitched to a 2.94 ERA with 7.2 K/9 and 2.3 BB/9 as well as a 58% ground-ball rate. Though he struggled for a stretch in May, Johnson rebounded with a strong run over the last four months of the season.
Weeks, meanwhile, has failed to reproduce his outstanding 2011 campaign, when he posted a .303/.340/.421 triple-slash in 437 plate appearances at age 24. Though he has struggled in the bigs since that campaign, Weeks did muster a .271/.376/.369 in Triple-A last year and still has the capacity to steal 15 to 20 bags a year. And with just 1.142 years of service under his belt, he will bring plenty of cheap years of control to Baltimore.
It appears that this deal fills holes for both clubs. The Athletics were in need of a back-end option with closer Grant Balfour hitting free agency, and the Orioles have long been searching for a reliable keystone option. The major questions, of course, will be whether Johnson can live up to his pay grade and whether Weeks will ever regain enough of his stroke to become a big league regular.

Orioles Working To Trade Jim Johnson
The Orioles are working on trading closer Jim Johnson, reports Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (Twitter links). The Athletics are "most involved" in those discussions, says Rosenthal, while the Dodgers are also talking but do not expect to land the big righty.
With Johnson projected to earn $10.8MM in his final season of arbitration by MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz, he has increasingly been the subject of trade speculation. For an Orioles club that seems constrained in its efforts to fill other needs because of salary concerns, shedding Johnson certainly has some appeal. After all, as MLBTR's Tim Dierkes explained in the above-linke post, the save numbers that have driven up his salary arguably overstate his true value. Last year, Johnson registered a 2.94 ERA in 70 1/3 innings, and his 2013 FIP (3.45) and xFIP (3.38) do not frame him as a dominant reliever.
In that respect, the interest of the Athletics is somewhat surprising. Though the club does need to replace closer Grant Balfour in some manner, it would cut against GM Billy Beane's track record to dedicate that much cash to a single reliever. And while the Dodgers have not hesitated to throw dollars at the bullpen, the club is set with Kenley Jansen at closer and is already carrying the sizeable contract of Brandon League.

Orioles Trying To Trade Johnson; Dodgers In The Mix
The Orioles are trying hard to trade closer Jim Johnson, and the Dodgers are in the mix, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (Twitter link). Johnson is projected to earn $10.8MM in arbitration this offseason by our own Matt Swartz.
Johnson, 30, posted a 2.94 ERA this season with 7.2 K/9, 2.3 BB/9 and a 58 percent ground-ball rate. His 50 saves led the American League and tied Atlanta's Craig Kimbrel for the Major League lead. Over the past two seasons, no pitcher has amassed more saves than Johnson's total of 101.
The Orioles have been linked to some big-name free agents like Carlos Beltran and Jhonny Peralta (prior to his agreement with St. Louis), but their budget constraints make it difficult for them to pursue such marquee names. Shedding Johnson's salary (or at least the bulk of it) could allow Baltimore to be more aggressive on the free agent market.
The Dodgers, of course, have the game's deepest pockets, which should mean they're more than capable of absorbing Johnson's big salary. GM Ned Colletti showed he's not afraid to spend big on relievers last offseason by signing Brandon League to a three-year, $22.5MM contract, though it's fair to wonder if that contract will serve as a cautionary tale and dampen the team's interest in Johnson. The Dodger bullpen figures to be anchored by strikeout wizard Kenley Jansen, so a Johnson acquisition would likely push one solid closer into a setup role.

AL East Notes: Blue Jays, Feldman, Johnson, Red Sox
Middle relievers like Javier Lopez and Joe Smith have commanded eight-figure multiyear contracts in free agency, so teams looking for less-expensive relief help could turn to the Blue Jays as trade partners later this offseason, Sportsnet.ca's Shi Davidi writes. "My early sense of the relief market is that it could be a very lucrative one for the players, and I think the value of our players and our relievers is actually going to climb," Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos recently said. Toronto has a surplus of bullpen arms ranging from closer candidates like Casey Janssen, Sergio Santos or Brett Cecil to out-of-options swingmen like Esmil Rogers and Todd Redmond.
Here's the latest from around the AL East…
- The Blue Jays' payroll won't be affected by Rogers' recent $5.2 billion purchase of NHL television rights for its cable networks, Rogers Media president Keith Pelley told Jeff Blair on The Fan 590 Radio (partial transcript from Sportsnet.ca's Jeff Simmons).
- Scott Feldman could accept a two-year contract with an option on a third year, sources tell MASNsports.com's Roch Kubatko. There is mutual interest between Feldman and the Orioles, and since the team isn't willing to give him more than two years, the option year could be a nice compromise. Feldman recently said that his market was slow in developing, though around half the teams in baseball had checked in with his agent. Besides the Orioles, the Twins and Yankees have also been linked to Feldman in rumors.
- Also from Kubatko, "not everyone in the [Orioles] organization is convinced that [Jim] Johnson will be on the Opening Day roster next year." The O's are known to be listening to offers for their closer, though as Kubatko notes, listening on Johnson is different from openly shopping him.
- WEEI.com's Alex Speier does a position-by-position breakdown of the Red Sox depth, noting that the club's strong bench and minor league reinforcements were a big reason for Boston's success in 2013.
- In other AL East news from earlier today, we collected some Yankees items as part of a New York Links post.

Orioles Willing To Listen To Offers For Jim Johnson
The Orioles are willing to listen to trade offers for closer Jim Johnson, according to ESPN's Buster Olney (on Twitter). Baltimore is facing a massive payroll crunch this offseason, and Johnson's $10.8MM projected salary (per MLBTR's Matt Swartz) would seem to be a definite roadblock in their pursuit of top free agents to whom they've been linked, such as Carlos Beltran.
Johnson, 30, posted a 2.94 ERA this season with 7.2 K/9, 2.3 BB/9 and a 58 percent ground-ball rate. His 50 saves led the American League and tied Atlanta's Craig Kimbrel for the Major League lead. Over the past two seasons, no pitcher has amassed more saves than Johnson's total of 101. That bloated saves total, however, is actually problematic for Baltimore, as it's the chief reason for his projected payday (as Swartz explained in Johnson's arbitration breakdown).
Olney recently profiled the Orioles' budget situation and spoke with other executives who felt that Johnson would be "the most painless cut" the team could make. The Orioles opened 2013 with a $92MM payroll and figure to be around that mark again in 2014. Spending nearly $11MM on their closer would seem to be a questionable allocation of their funds.
While an additional $11MM in 2014 may not cover the salary of a top free agent like Beltran, it would present the opportunity for a slightly backloaded contract, as Nick Markakis and his $15MM annual commitment will be off the books following the 2014 campaign.

Gorgeous New Earring Findings!
You can thank me later, guys. Locating amazing, creative, impressive jewelry findings is probably the biggest challenge in beading. No matter how skilled you are, your work will always be limited by the quality and inventiveness of your basic findings. As an earring girl, I'm always looking for cool new earring findings that will give my designs that extra sass I like. I'm excited to announce the arrival of three new sterling silver findings to the Bead World line up, all from Nina Designs. (Y'all know how I feel about Nina Designs.) You're going to want them all. I know I certainly do! As Sandra Bullock's character says in The Blind Side, "I said you could thank me later. It's later."

the sis in chicago.Monday, June 20, 2011
My sister flew in to Chicago on Wednesday afternoon. We had a great time. Here's a little recap of her trip to the Chi.
Michigan Avenue. Lunch at Bandera and coffee in the lounge at RL. Wine with Sarah + Melissa at my place followed by drinks at Citizen.
Breakfast at Orange where we sat outside until it rained for maybe 3 minutes. We took the food to go just in case and in typical chicago fashion, it did not rain the rest of the day. I love this city but it's just a little fickle when it comes to the weather. Also on the agenda for the day...italian ice at Mario's Italian Lemonade, architectural tour, Navy Pier, and dinner with C at Scoozi.
Margaritas at Big Star, drinks at Public House.
Green City Market, lunch + grocery shopping at Whole Foods, the bean, Lurie gardens, Buckingham fountain, catching up with my friend Jason, fireworks at Trump and finally...Garden State with Melissa.
Brunch with Sarah, Melissa, Brian + the dogs at the Original Pancake House followed by a walk through the Gold Coast. Jess left and Melissa and I lounged around my apt for a few hours with the dogs and then grabbed dinner at Japonais. I had never been to the patio outside. So, so pretty! I love Chicago when it isn't 20 degrees outside!
It was a packed few days! So fun! Back to my regular work schedule {which explains the late post today}. Hope your Monday is off to a great start!

Maserati GranSport Back on the Table?
(Apr 22, 2013)

Jaguar Delivers 1st F-Types in Style
(Apr 21, 2013)

The World's Top-Selling Car Is…
(Apr 14, 2013)
I am guessing that Toyota is counting all generations of the corolla since Toyota sell old gens in brazil, china, and other country's with large poor populations. I believe ford is only counting the current gen.

Presenting the Imperia GP Hybrid
(Mar 18, 2013)
Jayce, Wiesmann sell allot more then 200 units per year and with stats like this, 200 will be easy to sell per year. But I do have doubts if it will make it to the market with the price and everything else.
Callaway's Shooting Brake Corvette
(Mar 17, 2013)
Colby, the way aerodynamics work is, to go twice as fast, you need four times as much horsepower. The veyron at 1,000hp did 253mph, and the veyron ss with 1,200hp did 267mph. That 5% increase in top speed needed 20% increase in horsepower.

Range Rover Sport Confirmed for NY
(Mar 11, 2013)
Can anyone name a British car brand that was all three things; design, engineering, and technology innovator; before the company was owned and/or operated by a non-Brit that was also reliable? Mini, maybe, but it wasn't very reliable in the beginning
Range Rover Sport Confirmed for NY
(Mar 11, 2013)
@Will. Yes I do, bc until they were taken over by the Germans, the design was never a push forward for car design. And reliability for British brands was a joke until a non Brit took over.

OPP: Fiance out of Town
by Slacker And Steve
posted May 13 2013 4:16PM
Today's OPP is from Beth!
My fiancé is training for a new job and is out of town until the end of the month. The other night, his best friend asked me to dinner on Facebook. He said he hadn't told my fiancé about the offer. Do I go? Do I tell my fiancé? What is his friend up to? HELP! I'm new in town and hate staying home alone.
Slacker thinks that her fiancés friend is hitting on her by asking to take her out to dinner and keeping it a secret. Steve thinks that it is just an innocent dinner to make her feel less alone.
What advice do you have?
I'm on Steve's side, personally I don't think it's a big deal, why wouldn't you tell your fiancé and if he really does care then just don't go. Having dinner with your fiancé's friend shouldn't matter, and if it does, well that's unfortunate.

Street Child is a leading UK based charity that provides quality and sustainable education programmes to thousands of children across Sierra Leone and Liberia.
Street Child runs two programmes:
- 1. 'No Child Left Behind' delivers high impact projects to reduce the number of children dependent on the nation's streets and reintegrates them into family life and school.
- 2. 'Every Child in School' focuses on providing first time education to rural communities giving them their first ever school and teacher training. ECiS aims to prevent children in rural villages migrating to urban centres and ending up dependent on the street for survival.
All of Street Child's programmes are delivered through our dedicated local partners. Over the past five years, we have supported over 20,000 children in Sierra Leone and Liberia to access education.

Not too bad, except for the smell. Our room was specious, clean with beautiful view of the see. The location of the hostel is perfect. I did not mind street noise. We came too early, but were allowed to check in. The smell was really bad, though.

King Juan Carlos I and Queen Sofia of Spain came to town last March for the opening. So what's your excuse? For decades, one of the largest collections of Spanish art outside of Spain languished in little-known, unprepossessing quarters on the Southern Methodist University campus. The new museum is a tad boring on the outside--generic SMU brick-and-columns pompous--but it's grand, the interiors provide a stunning setting for a world-class collection...and lots of beautiful young guys and gals are strolling the campus. What's keeping you?

A toxicology report has revealed that 36-year-old celebrity DJ Adam Goldstein, who wasfound dead in his New York apartment in late August, had a lethal cocktail of prescription drugs and cocaine in his system.
Various illegal substances were also found at his home.
Suspicions of a possible suicide attempt have been laid to rest as medical examiners confirmed that the star died accidentally of "acute intoxication."
Nicole Richie's former fiancé had talked openly about his substance problems in the past but had been clean for some time.
It's thought that his escaping a 2008 plane crash – in which four of his friends were killed - might have triggered a relapse in Adam's drug use.

I love marinated artichokes, which I sometimes eat right out of the jar, so this sounded quite tempting to me. Jewelies told me by zmail that she drains the artichokes before processing and so I did, too, but I reserved the marinade and used it in place of the oil. When I started to add the marinade (Step 2), I did so quite gradually and stopped adding as soon as I got to a consistency that seemed to hang together well. Because I happen to love thyme with artichokes, I also added a pinch of thyme. The next time I might add garlic, as I think it would be good with that, also. I did drizzle a small amount of extra virgin olive oil over the dip, just enough to add a hint of the olive flavor. I didn't have grissini (same thing as bread sticks, I believe?), but toasted some pita wedges in the over and used those as dippers. I'd like to try this with bacon flavor crackers as dippers, which I suspect would be quite good.people found this review Helpful. You can only vote others' reviews helpful or not helpful...

This is a nice dip! The recipe doesn't say to drain the artichokes but I did. I made it a little healthier by using 1/3 cup of reserved artichoke marinade instead of oil. I think that made it a little tastier also. Then I just topped it with oil and paprika. I used my immersion blender to puree it together. I served it with garlic bagel crisps. Made for 1-2-3 hit wonders.people found this review Helpful. You can only vote others' reviews helpful or not helpful... Was this review helpful to you? Yes | No We don't know who you are.

I used pecorino romano instead of parmesan. This was a really tasty dip - I ate it on crackers, and also hollowed out some small raw plum tomatoes to filled them with it. However, it was lacking something. It just didn't have much "oomph." I added 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of red wine, which helped a little. This is a dish that could be easily doctored up to your liking.people found this review Helpful. You can only vote others' reviews helpful or not helpful... Was this review helpful to you?
