Thanks so much!

Samsung has overtaken Apple to become the biggest buyer of semiconductors, according to a report from Gartner.
Gartner reported Samsung bought eight percent of all chips sold in 2012. In comparison, Apple purchased 7.2 percent of chips sold.
Between the firms' spending equates to $43.5bn on semiconductors, Gartner estimated.
Samsung's purchases were boosted by strong sales in its tablet and smartphone business. The company bought $28.9bn worth of semiconductors to power devices like the Galaxy S3.
Apple, meanwhile, bought $13.6bn worth of chips in 2012, down a touch on the previous year, where Gartner said it bought $21.4bn worth of chips.
Despite the purchase orders from Apple and Samsung, the semiconductor industry suffered in 2012. Gartner found that the total semiconductor market saw declines of three percent last year.
According to Gartner principal research analyst Masatsune Yamaji, the overall decline stemmed from the struggling PC market's decreased demand for chips.
"In addition to a weak macroeconomic situation, a dramatic change in consumer demand contributed to a reduction in semiconductor demand in 2012," said Yamaji.
"The PC market still represented the largest sector for chip demand, but desktop and mobile PCs did not sell well, as consumers' interest shifted to new mobile computing devices like smartphones and media tablets. This shift caused a substantial decrease in semiconductor demand in 2012, as the semiconductor content of a smartphone or a media tablet is far less than that of a PC."
Gartner recently reported that PC sales declined 4.9 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012. The analyst firm blamed the decline on the growth of the tablet market.
James is a freelance writer and editor. In addition to ClickZ, his work has appeared in publications like V3, The Commonwealth Club, CachedTech.com, and Shonen Jump magazine. He studied Journalism at Weber State University.

America's Addiction To Sugar
Oh, how we love our sugar. We put it on everything – that sugar bowl that sits on our table filled with that white stuff that begs us to dig in and sweeten everything we eat. Have you ever thought about what that sugar does to your body after you swallow it? Where does it go? What effect does it have on you? I sure have, so I wanted to check it out to see if it had any positive or negative effect on how I felt and on my health in general.
The first big surprise was to discover that I was addicted to it. Sugar releases dopamine in my brain from the "reward center". I guess that's why I always felt good after eating sugar; cookies, a big piece of cake, pie, a soda drink; whatever I was having that had sugar in it. Oh, the comfort it provided!
What was happening in my brain came from my reward center, but there is a down side to that. I would need more and more sugar to get that same satisfaction. Furthermore, sugar tells the body to release insulin. More insulin will cause more cravings for carbohydrates and sugar, hours after eating it.
Have you ever heard of the "sugar high" and the crash that comes later? Wow, when that happens I head for something with sugar in it – my "pick me up" so I can get through the day. No doubt, I was addicted to sugar. Since my body isn't any different than anyone else's, then it made sense to me that Americans are addicted to sugar, as is the rest of the world where sugar is in abundance.
What I found was that Americans consume over 130 lbs. of sugar in a year. In 2004, it was reported that 60% of Americans were overweight or obese. One severe complication was type 2 diabetes, which is caused directly by consumption of sugar and refined carbohydrates.
Sugar also feeds cancer cells and tumors are huge sugar absorbers. Cancer cells grab the glucose and grow. Sugar also produces a continuous acidic condition in the body. Cancer cells survive only in an acidic environment and will die in an alkaline environment (non-acidic). In addition, minerals are taken from the tissue to even the acidic environment and level the imbalance. These results to bones weakening (osteoporosis), and teeth decaying (cavities).
To name a few, listed below are disorders and diseases associated with high sugar consumption:
- Attention Deficit Disorder
- Behavioral problems
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
- Atherosclerosis
- Colon Cancer
- Coronary Heart Disease
- Kidney and Liver Disease
- Malnutrition
- Over growth of yeast (especially Candida Albicans)
- Violent tendencies.
There are so many other effects of high intake of sugar over the years.
Sugar also overloads the liver, converts to fat and goes directly to the blood stream. This produces plaque in the blood vessels, which is associated with heart attacks. Furthermore, the fatty acids retained in the blood are stored as fat in the most inactive areas of the body: the thighs, belly, breasts and buttocks. When these areas are filled with fat, then the fat is distributed among the active organs: liver, heart, and kidneys. Indeed, there are so many effects the high intake of sugar has in our bodies.
I couldn't figure out where I was getting all this sugar. Why was America addicted to sugar? How are we all consuming such high levels of sugar, which causes us to be fat and unhealthy? The answer is not only in our little sugar bowls on our table; it's in all the food we eat.
There are good sugars, such as in fresh fruits and vegetables, and there are bad sugars, as in processed foods. We need to check out the hidden sugars in the American diet to answer our questions. To start off, the truth is that food manufacturers want you to be addicted to sugar, just as cigarette companies want you to be addicted to nicotine. This is so you will continue to buy their products.
Sugar is in every processed product you buy. The name sugar is sometimes hidden on the labels, but it is there, often in the form of high fructose corn syrup (processed with chemicals and made with genetically modified corn). Fructose starts out as cornstarch and is chemically degraded to glucose. Fractions of the glucose are combined with an enzyme, which then turns to fructose. High fructose corn syrup does not exist naturally – it is all manufactured.
Then, we will find sucrose, which is extracted from sugar cane. Maltose, dextrose, glucose – any word ending in "ose" is sugar. This sugar is the greatest source of our total caloric intake. It's in the products we have bought for years, and it's what we all have in our cabinets and refrigerators. It is in our condiments and what we consider as staple foods.
How about ketchup? 2 to 4 tbsp. of it is 10 to 20 grams of extra sugar! Salad dressings, marinades, cocktail sauce; they're all filled with sugar. It's in cakes, cookies, cereals, snacks, drinks (even fruit juice). Well, you get the picture! Check the labels on the foods you buy. I was shocked at how much sugar I consume in a day. Even if you get rid of the sugar bowl, you would still be overdosing on sugar, carbohydrates and calories.
Before you reach for those little blue and pink packets to sweeten your drink, or before you buy artificial sweeteners to replace sugar, check this out. Artificial sweeteners are also linked to weight gain. They trick the body to release insulin. When the mouth and stomach sense sweetness, the body is expecting sugar. As mentioned, the more insulin, the more cravings you will have for carbohydrates and sugar, hours after you have had that diet soda.
Artificial sweeteners are toxic. These chemicals are filtered through our liver. Our liver is so taxed filtering out these chemicals and storing the toxins in our fat tissues. We still end up not burning fat. So, beware of foods that say "fat free", "sugar free", "low fat", and "diet".
These sweeteners are also related to high blood pressure and high levels of cholesterol and blood sugar. It can also lead to heart disease, strokes and cancer. You can read more about these chemicals in my article entitled, "What Are These Substances We're Putting Into Our Bodies".
We want to get our glucose and carbohydrates from fresh fruits and vegetables. Our bodies need glucose, but we need the right kind from the right sources. We can even get our carbs from grains and plants.
Our main source of sugar comes from the sugar cane. It's refined and has a negative nutritional value. It makes your body use up stored nutrients to process it. It affects your body's ability to process glucose over time.
Cane sugar is sucrose extracted from the sugar cane. It's a type of grass, which yields a sweet liquid when crushed. This juice is then evaporated to create sugar crystals, which is better known as "sugar in the raw form". As molasses is separated from the raw form of sugar, it will become brown sugar or white sugar, which is more heavily refined.
I remember my mother telling me to eat brown sugar or raw sugar, because it was good for me. Sorry, not so. Sugar is sugar, along with all the negative effects associated with cane sugar and artificial sweeteners. But, my mom was fooled, just like we all have been with the advertisements we have seen for years regarding cane sugar.
On the other hand, fresh fruits have a natural sugar with fiber, which slows absorption. Fructose in fresh fruits causes insulin levels to remain constant. Most fruits have a low glucose index and put less stress on the body.
Fruits, vegetables and grains have added vitamins and minerals that our bodies need. When buying canned or processed fruits, vegetables or grains, read the labels to see if sugar is added. It usually is, so be careful. I can my own fruits and vegetables, so I know what's in them. You can also freeze fresh fruits and vegetables. I also go to the health food stores to buy certain items, which have no sugar added or chemicals, but are sweetened with fruit juice.
Raw honey and maple syrup are another source of sugar. Both have additional nutrients, enzymes and antioxidants that sugar does not have. Some studies show raw honey improves the body's ability to process glucose.
Raw honey can reduce symptoms of allergies, if it is from the area where you live. Raw honey also boosts the immune system and contains anti-cancer properties. It relieves arthritis pain and assists in relieving yeast infections and athlete's foot. Have you noticed I recommend raw honey, not processed honey? Processed honey, which is pasteurized, reduces the benefits of raw honey significantly.
Maple syrup, which is 100% pure, has manganese, zinc and natural antioxidants that are good for your immune system. Maple syrup prevents damage to the heart and is a strong liver cleanser.
Chocolate is everyone's favorite. My husband loves it and everyone in our family loads him up with it at Christmas and on his birthday. The problem with our chocolate intake is that we usually get the heavily processed and added sugar kind, instead of the raw and organic kind.
Cacao is a bean and is a fantastic super food due to these beans being extremely nutritious. You can buy cacao in many forms. It can be in a baking form, chips for cookies, and in bars. Again, watch the labels for additives and sugars. When I bake with cacao, I use raw honey as my sweetener.
Xylitol comes from the bark of the birch tree. It has 2.4 calories per gram. Xylitol can cause gastrointestinal distress in some people. Erythrismal is a sugar alcohol that is naturally found in a variety of foods: mushrooms, watermelon and pears.
Stevia is a non-caloric sweetener. It is a natural alternative to sugar and artificial sweeteners. It is also a type of herb known as "sweet leaf", as this plant is grown for its sweet leaves. It grows in subtropical regions. It has 300 times the sweetness of sugar.
Stevia is the sweetener I use now. When I can fruits, I use 1 teaspoon for every cup of sugar called for in my recipe. Amazing isn't it? There is no sugar in it and it's low in carbohydrates. It does not trigger a rise in blood sugar and insulin levels are not affected. It is not toxic like saccharin or artificial sweeteners.
Stevia is not a new product. It has been used for hundreds of years safely. It has no other ingredients as it's 100% pure. I can't tell the difference in the foods I have put it in.
Here are a few simple rules that I follow, now that I am eliminating sugar from my diet:
- Always read the labels, even in the health food stores.
- Avoid artificial sweeteners, sugar or sugar derivatives.
- Avoid all sweetened beverages, including fruit juices that are not freshly juiced and that are not free of sweeteners.
- For baking, use stevia or raw, organic honey.
My husband and I can truthfully say that we have broken our part on "America's Addiction to Sugar". The thing I noticed the most is I don't miss or crave it anymore. Like all addictions, I had symptoms such as headaches and irritability for about a week. But since then, we have both lost weight and felt better.
The time to start is now, if you want to break your addiction on the "America's Addiction to Sugar" problem.

While most of us were slowly coming down from a fireworks-induced high last Saturday (yes, us too - though we suspect the previous night's bubbly may have had a little more to do with the recovering process), we sneakily whacked up a little Ministry Of Sound Chillout Sessions giveaway for you, our eagle-eyed reader.
Yes, the saucy team at Ministry Of Sound were kind enough to give us three copies of 'Chillout Sessions XIII' right at the end of 2010, and there's no better time to chill out than the start of the new year.
Naturally, it's packed with plenty of big name artists (Robyn, Groove Armada, Washington, Sia, Angus & Julia Stone etc etc) and they're spread across two CDs.
So without further kerfuffle, the lucky peeps who've picked themselves up a copy of 'Chillout Sessions XIII' are...;
Trent from Forest Lodge in New South Wales, Matthew from Scottsdale in Tasmania and Katie from Clifton Hill in Victoria!
Congratulations, fine folk! You three are our first lucky winners for the new year! And if you missed out, missed the competition or (the horror) didn't even enter!? No doubt there'll be more fab giveaways coming at you throughout 2011, so stay tuned!

75 Ways The Gov't Will Suck The Life Out Of You…..
(EconomicCollapse) The American people are experiencing financial death by a thousand cuts and most of them don't even realize it. The U.S. government, state governments, local governments and the financial elite are draining us financially in dozens upon dozens of different ways, and yet we have become so programmed to accept it that it just seems normal to us. 2011 is rapidly approaching, and a whole slate of federal taxes is scheduled to go up, state taxes are being increased from coast to coast, local governments are finding new and creative ways to stick it to us and the financial elite are becoming more predatory than ever. Meanwhile, the incomes of many average Americans are actually going down. According to the Census Bureau's annual survey of income and poverty in the United States, of the 52 largest metro areas in the nation, only the city of San Antonio did not see a decline in median household income during 2009. Tens of millions of Americans are flat broke and they are getting pissed off. According to a new poll conducted by CNBC, 92 percent of Americans believe that the U.S. economy is either "fair" or "poor". The American people desperately want someone to fix the economy, but instead our "leaders" are trying to come up with new and creative ways to drain even more money out of us.
In no particular order, the following are 75 ways that the U.S. government, state governments, local governments and the financial elite will be sucking even more of the life blood out of the American people in 2011…. Continue reading →

Scraps & Trash Number One Export To China In 2010
(EconomicCollapse) – Historians tell us that by the very end of the Roman Empire, goods were pouring into Rome from all over the known world, but about the only thing being sent out of Rome was human waste and garbage. America has not yet reached that point, but we are certainly well on our way. In 2010, the number one U.S. export to China is "scrap and trash". Yes, you read the correctly. The number one thing that China buys from us is our garbage. According to author Clyde Prestowitz, China's number one export to the U.S. is computer equipment (nearly $50 billion) while our number one export to them is waste paper and scrap metal (approximately $8 billion). When it comes to world trade, China is literally wiping the floor with the United States. In August, the U.S. trade deficit with China set a new one month record of $28 billion dollars. Our insane trade policies are making China (along with several of our other "trade partners") incredibly wealthy, and the U.S. government ends up begging China to lend that money back to us to fund the exploding U.S. national debt. That just isn't stupidity – that is insanity.
The truth is that our "twin deficits" are literally bankrupting this nation. We are completely and totally destroying the economic future of our children and grandchildren. Continue reading →

The State Versus The Internet
The power of the state has always rested on two pillars: Force and legitimacy. The Internet subverts them both. As for force, think about encrypted commerce, as for legitimacy (the more important part), think about the following:
- It used to be that 98% of all news came out of two zip codes in Manhattan, produced by a more or less homogenous group of people. Now, it comes from everywhere. "Guys in pajamas" brought down the mighty Dan Rather.
- When I began to wander among liberty people, not too many decades ago, the people who "got it" were mostly hyper-studious types in the largest American cities. Now they are found almost everywhere.
- Events are recorded and can be verified across the globe in moments. The life-span of bad information is collapsing, and plenty of what used to be easy manipulation with it.
- People are able to test their wild ideas in anonymous public conversations, shielded from shame. As a result, those ideas are improved, very many of which would never have been exposed without a protected place to speak from.
- Collective identities and animosities ("those people are monsters; we must fight!") are collapsing as separated groups of people get to know each other via world-wide, nearly-free communication.
This is all the result of the Internet, and all of it undermines the sanctity and urgency of the state. And since the operators of states are not stupid, they understand the threat and are moving aggressively to conquer the Internet. Continue reading →

Why McDonald's Happy Meal Hamburgers Won't Decompose
(NaturalNews) – It's always entertaining when the mainstream media "discovers" something they think is new even though the natural health community has been talking about for years. The New York Times, for example, recently ran a story entitled When Drugs Cause Problems They Are Supposed to Prevent (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/17/h…). We've been covering the same topic for years, reporting on how chemotherapy causes cancer, osteoporosis drugs cause bone fractures and antidepressant drugs cause suicidal behavior.
The latest "new" discovery by the mainstream media is that McDonald's Happy Meal hamburgers and fries won't decompose, even if you leave them out for six months. This story has been picked up by CNN, the Washington Post and many other MSM outlets which appear startled that junk food from fast food chains won't decompose. Continue reading →

Wheelchair lacrosse gains steam
For two hours each Tuesday afternoon, a small group of wounded troops meets in a gym at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, strapping on helmets, pads and gloves to get physical, battling one another to move a small orange ball down a court and hurl it into a goal.
The game is wheelchair lacrosse, and for these military laxbros — some novice, some experienced — the fast pace and demanding workout is just what the doctor ordered.
Similar to its field counterpart, wheelchair lacrosse calls for players to swing sticks, poke check each other and slam into each other to force possession of the ball.
The often brutal contact is what many of the players crave.
"Most of us grew up playing team-oriented, competitive, physical games. You enter the disabled sports world, it lacks those competitive team sports. Sure, you've got quad rugby and sled hockey, but this gives guys another option to go out there and play hard," said Army Spec. Calvin Todd, 25, a former college lacrosse player who is at Walter Reed recovering from injuries sustained in an IED blast in 2012.
Wheelchair lacrosse was developed in 2009. Four years later, Wheelchair Lacrosse USA fields seven teams around the country, hosts workshops and has participated in tournaments nationwide.
Military participants just may be a key to reaching the goal of establishing a team in "every major city," the organizers say.
Coach and founder of Maryland-based Freestate Wheelchair Lacrosse Mark Flounlacker said the sport has much to offer military personnel in recovery both physically and mentally.
"It keeps in tune with the warrior nature of the sport," Flounlacker said, referring to its founding as a Native American sport in which it was perceived as cowardly to avoid an opponent. "It's aggressive." Plus, he said, "mentally, it's an opportunity to learn that you are able to return to recreation and have fun."
"You'd be going nuts even if you were a couch potato and paralyzed. But when you're not that, and these guys aren't, it's a completely different dynamic. You could dwell on how bad you have it, but the faster you realize there is life out there, the better," Flounlacker said.
The first wheelchair lacrosse clinic at Walter Reed drew 20 attendees last spring. This fall, organizers returned for another workshop and conducted a similar clinic at Fort Belvoir, Va.
Todd, who lost his left leg, says he's excited to be part of an emerging sport. He plays regular lacrosse with his prosthetic leg and coaches youth teams in the Bethesda, Md., area.
But he enjoys wheelchair lacrosse for its unique challenges, he says.
"You need to be a little more coordinated playing in a chair because you have to maneuver the chair and still have to catch. … It really captures the essence of the sport."
Interested service members — even able-bodied personnel are welcome (if they can hack it in a chair) — can find information on upcoming tournaments and clinics at www.wheelchairlacrosse.com or local organizations' sites, such as Freestate Wheelchair Lacrosse's Facebook page.

(v) To divide memory or mass storage into isolated sections. In DOS systems, you can partition a disk, and each partition will behave like a separate disk drive. Partitioning is particularly useful if you run more than one operating system. For example, you might reserve one partition for Windows and another for UNIX.
In addition, partitioning on DOS and Windows machines can improve disk efficiency. This is because the FAT system used by these operating systems automatically assigns cluster size based on the disk size: the larger the disk, the larger the cluster. Unfortunately, large clusters can result in a wasted disk space, called slack space. There is an entire sector of the software industry devoted to building utilitiesthat let you partition your hard disk.
On Apple Macintosh computers, there are two types of partitioning: hard and soft. Hard partitioning is the same as DOS partitioning -- the disk is physically divided into different sections. Soft partitioning, on the other hand, does not physically affect the disk at all, but it fools the Finder into believing that the disk is partitioned. The advantage of this is that you can partition the disk without affecting the dataon it. With hard partitioning, it is usually necessary to reformat the entire disk.
(n) A section of main memory or mass storage that has been reserved for a particular application.

Mark Newman is the top dog in the Yankees farm system, and he's back for another lengthy interview with NoMaas' Gary Wallace. Enjoy our 2nd interview with the Yankees' Senior Vice President of Baseball Operations.
Gary Wallace: My first question has to do with the draft. You managed to sign sixteen of the top seventeen picks. What is your opinion of Damon Oppenheimer's performance and how everything shook out?
Mark Newman: We're happy we signed those players. Damon's done an excellent job since 2005 bringing talent into the system. He and his staff have done a nice job, and he's really good at what he does. As with all drafts, its quality will be played out over time, so I expect, like our past drafts, that this one will prove to be a good one.
GW: The last time you talked with us, you mentioned that the depth of the system might have to be "rebuilt". How do you think that has gone so far?
MN: Our prospects, almost without exception, have had really good years. We've got some quality young players at the upper levels and some quality young prospects at the lower levels, so we feel good. We've got more work to do, but we feel good about where we're at.
GW: Angelo Gumbs (2nd round pick in 2010) has stated in interviews that centerfield is his primary position. However, he was drafted as a shortstop. Is that where you envision him long-term?
MN: We'll see. He's athletic. He's playing some shortstop now and we'll see how that progresses over time. We know we like his offensive potential and we're in the process of finding out where he will fit best defensively. To say he's going to be a shortstop or a centerfielder at this point would be premature.
GW: Is there a chance Mason Williams might see some time in the infield at any point in the future?
MN: Right now, Mason is a centerfielder and we're going to leave it like that for the time being.
GW: When we talked to you back in June, we asked you about David Adams and you said it might be two more weeks or so before he returned. That didn't work out. What happened with him?
MN: He struggled with the rehab. We checked again and he had a small broken bone in his foot, so that was basically it.
GW: Is there any chance he might make it to the Arizona Fall League?
MN: No. He's going to rehab this off season. We're not going to push it.
GW: On the topic of rehab, how is Jeremy Bleich doing?
MN: Fine. He hasn't started throwing yet. He's doing what all these rehab guys do and he's doing it with special focus and attention to detail. He's a first-rate worker. He understands what he needs to do and he does it, so we expect him to do well in the rehab process.
GW: Ivan Nova just made his first career major league start. Did you get a chance to watch it? If so, what did you think?
MN: I watched it on tape this morning. He got through the first inning a little shaky and then pitched well…obviously gave up a homerun on a breaking ball that hung. I liked his poise, I liked his aggressiveness, and certainly the stuff was there; we know that. I thought he did fine.
GW: His velocity seemed to be really high, sitting at 93, 94 and touching 97. Has that been the book on his stuff all year?
MN: Yeah. That's it.
GW: Last year Zach McAllister was the Eastern League Pitcher of the Year and this year he was the "Player to be Named Later" in the Austin Kearns trade. What happened to his season? It just seemed to fall out from beneath him.
MN: He's a young guy in AAA. Sometimes they struggle a little bit; sometimes they don't and he did. But, he had various times during the season where we saw the real Zach McAllister, so we fully expect he'll get back to that. You don't lead the Eastern League in ERA and win Pitcher of the Year and not have the tools to be successful. We think he will be. We're sad that it's going to be with Cleveland, but we still think he's going to be a good major league pitcher.
GW: Brandon Laird, another young AAA player, has had rumors about him that he might move to the outfield. Has that process begun at all?
MN: Yeah. We're doing some work with him out there and we'll do more in the offseason. We'll do some of it in the Arizona Fall League as well.
GW: What would you have said if I told you six months ago that Andrew Brackman, Dellin Betances and Manny Banuelos would all be pitching in Trenton before the year was over?
MN: I could guarantee I would've been happy. We didn't anticipate that. We figured Brack would probably get there; he pitched well in A-ball and he's doing fine in AA. The other two guys were coming back from injury, two different types of injury, and to have them pitch as well as they did, really pitch in a dominant way in the Florida State League…that's great. They've all got really good arms.
GW: Manny Banuelos has come back and thrown much harder than he ever did before. Is this just him growing into his body? He's still a very young pitcher at 19. Anything about professional weight training or coaching that has got his velocity there?
MN: It's hard to pinpoint what allows a young guy, a young pitcher to improve his velocity. If we knew it, we'd do it with everybody. All those things happen. He matures physically, naturally, and he matures in terms of his delivery. He gets stronger and more explosive through our strength and conditioning program. He's done all those things and now he gets it up to 97. He used to get it up to 92, 93. It's interesting. You never know.
GW: It's got to be exciting for you to have a lefty showing that type of velocity and control at a young age.
MN: Yeah. That's big.
GW: On the subject of Manny Banuelos, whenever he comes up you always hear about mound presence. Can you give us some insight on that?
MN: Basically it's his poise, his tempo, his delivery. He looks like a pitcher. He's got a really smooth, easy delivery. Good balance…he doesn't wear his emotions on his sleeve on the mound. He maintains his poise and composure. Fields his position. He looks like a veteran pitcher at a very young age.
GW: Continuing with the Trenton staff: Dellin Betances. What's been the biggest difference for him this year?
MN: First, he's healthy. Second, he's always had a good arm. He's throwing his curveball and changeup for strikes and they're both really good pitches. When you take velocity…it's good, it's fine. We appreciate it and we scout it, but that ability to throw quality secondary pitches in the strike zone in a variety of counts is a big, big key to success. And he is doing that now.
GW: Andrew Brackman. Any chance he sees some innings in the Bronx this September?
MN: Right now, I wouldn't think so. But stranger things have happened.
GW: Adam Warren just had a huge fifteen strikeout, seven inning game the other day. Has his velocity increase from last year kept up?
MN: Yeah. He gets it up to 95. Pitches at 92, 93 and did that some for us last year. In his case, [he's] working hard on his secondary stuff and it's improving. Good looking young guy. He's going to be a major league pitcher.
GW: You said that about Hector Noesi and now he's in AAA, one step away (from the majors), so that probably bodes well for Adam.
MN: Yeah. Adam's got stuff and he throws strikes. What's not to like?
GW: As for position players on Trenton, Corban Joseph recently got promoted (after Brandon Laird moved to AAA). It seems like every time people talk about Corban they talk about his defense, as some people question his ability to stay at second base. What has been your evaluation regarding his glovework this year?
MN: Big improvements. He really works at that part of his game and it's showed up. He's making routine plays. Now he's making extended range plays, he's making slow roller plays, he's turning the double play better. Doing some good stuff.
GW: One other pitcher on the Trenton staff I forgot to mention is Wilkin De La Rosa, a 40-Man addition a couple of years ago. He seems to have regressed in the past two seasons. Is there anything specifically wrong with him?
MN: He's healthy, he's got good stuff, he's got a good arm. It's just a matter of throwing quality strikes consistently. No different than the rest of them.
GW: Graham Stoneburner is a guy at Tampa who might have had a case to get bumped up to Trenton when the Ivan Nova and Zach McAllister moves happened. Given his performance this year, will he be starting 2011 at Trenton?
MN: I would think that's probably a good bet.
GW: There were reports earlier in the season that his slider wasn't great. Has there been any progress with it since then?
MN: Yeah. Our pitching coach in the Florida State League is a guy named Greg Pavlick, who is extraordinary. He was a major league pitching coach for the Mets. He's experienced, a great teacher, and has helped Stoneburner's breaking ball immensely. Graham has always been able to spin the ball. It just needed to be a little tighter, add a little more tilt to it, a little more depth and he's made significant improvement in that area.
GW: Pat Venditte, everybody's favorite switch pitcher, has had a great year at Tampa, but he hasn't been challenged with a promotion. Is his development plan just going to be different because he's so different?
MN: It's a matter of having a roster opportunity. I think he can pitch in AA now. He'll get his chance. It may be at the end of this year, maybe at the beginning of next, but he'll get there.
GW: Is Jonathan Ortiz in the same boat?
MN: Yep.
GW: Melky Mesa finally seems to be putting all his tools together in Tampa. Is there any chance he's a quick mover soon since he's a bit older than most of his competition?
MN: Basically, these guys move based on the skills they've acquired on their current level. Whether he's 23, 20 or 24, we try to use subjective criteria, not chronology. Once you get on the field and start to perform it doesn't make a difference whether you're 19 or 29, actually.
GW: If you had to choose, would he be one of the best speed/power combinations in the system?
MN: He's doesn't have many equals when it comes to those two tools.
GW: You probably get tired of answering this question, but how has Jesus Montero's defense progressed this season?
MN: Very well. Better than I had hoped. He's throwing in the 1.9s consistently with accuracy. He's receiving well and growing as a game-caller. He's 20 years old and on the verge of the big leagues, and he's got a lot to learn, but I think he's going to get it done and be a great player at the major league level. At least offensively, there's not much to argue about.
GW: You can't talk about Jesus Montero without mentioning Austin Romine. Well, you can. Most people just don't, but his numbers have dipped a bit as the season has wore on. Fatigue setting in at all?
MN: That's probably a little bit of it. His first year of catching full-time from start to finish. Montero's going through the same thing. That's probably a bit of an issue for a lot of guys. He's just got to keep grinding away. We really like him. We think he's going to be a good hitter and a good defender and so do a lot of people in the industry. He's got big value.
GW: Jose Ramirez at Charleston was a bit of a sleeper prospect in 2010 after his velocity took a big jump in his 2009 GCL season. There were reports a couple weeks ago it had dipped back down. Is his amount of innings beginning to have an effect on him?
MN: Yeah, it did. He got tired. We shut him down for the remainder of the year.
GW: On that same team is Slade Heathcott. How would you say he's performed this year?
MN: Good. First full season, 19 year old kid, he's holding his own in that league. Doing well. Plays hard. Great defender. He has moments offensively…some days we see what we know we're going to see in the future on a more consistent basis. He learning a lot and he's doing well.
GW: How is JR Murphy's transition to catcher going?
MN: He's splitting time with Kyle Higashioka, so he's not [catching] five or six days a week yet. We'll see how that goes. I think he doing fine. He's had his moments offensively. When he stays in the middle of the field and uses it all, he's a real good-looking young hitter.
GW: Sticking with the catchers, Gary Sanchez now at Staten Island, started the season in the Gulf Coast League…Charleston next year we can safely assume?
MN: That's probably [right]. We don't make those decisions now. That's probably a good guess.
GW: Recently, young Yankee catchers have split time behind the plate. In 2008 and early 2009 it was Jesus Montero and Austin Romine, this year it's JR Murphy and Kyle Higashioka. Is this going to be the approach we see with Gary in the future?
MN: Not sure yet. That's always a possibility, but I wouldn't say that's a guarantee. One of the things it does do for a young player, who's also a good offensive player, is it allows them to stay fairly fresh so they can maintain some offensive productivity over the course of a long season. They've never played 140 games. Certainly Gary hasn't either. That's something we'll look at, but there are a lot of other factors: who's the other catcher? Where is he ready to play? We can't say that that's the plan yet. It's a possibility.
GW: Saw him in person last night at the Staten Island game. He's a big boy.
MN: He's a strong, strong guy.
GW: Bryan Mitchell, a prep pitcher still in the Gulf Coast League, has had some mixed results. How do you see his work this year?
MN: Arm strength good, up to 95. Power curveball, really has good feel for spin. Changeup is emerging. It's all going to be command-related. He hasn't pitched much yet. So far I think he's done fine and we'll know more over the next couple years. He's certainly got what you look for, he's got arm strength, he's got a really good feel…tight, power curveball. So, you like that.
GW: Couple of recent international signings to talk about. Tzu-Wei Lin, correct me if I'm saying that wrong, a 16-year old shortstop out of Taiwan… can you tell us about him?
MN: That report is premature. That deal hasn't been finalized.
GW: Alright. Christopher Tamarez's signing is official, no?
MN: That one's done. He's a 16-year old shortstop, 6'1" 170. Big-time arm, very good hands. We like the swing. We thought he was the best shortstop in the Dominican this year. We think he's got tools and we'll see how he progresses. We think he's got the aptitude and the work ethic.
GW: Cito Culver (1st round pick in 2010) also received the bump to Staten Island (along with Gary Sanchez and Rob Segedin). What have you seen out of him so far?
MN: Really good young defender at shortstop…I don't know that we've had a better defender right out of the chute than him. The kid coming from Rochester, New York…his summer coaches, his high school coaches must've done a really good job with him because he is an advanced defender. He's got good tools, he's got a great attitude about the game. He's got work ethic…he enjoys playing. We're very happy with him. You were there last night, they told me he made a couple good plays last night?
GW: He made a really nice play coming in on a ball that was a weak chopper. Got the [runner] out by a number of steps. Made it look easy, that was the one thing that stood out to me. Just very fluid in his motions.
MN: That's him.
GW: Segedin also made a couple nice plays at 3rd base. He's a guy who coming into the draft was mainly known for his bat, but it looks like he's kind of the whole package. What do you guys think you have with him?
MN: We like the bat, we like the power. He can play 3rd base, he can play the outfield too. We're not sure where he's going to end up, but we think he's going to be an offensive player. He'll play some corner somewhere.
GW: Eduardo Sosa. He had a ankle or foot injury I believe?
MN: Hamstring.
GW: Hamstring, sorry. He's shut down for the year?
MN: Yeah, I don't think he'll make it back in time. There aren't enough games left in Staten Island's season.
GW: One final question: Christian Garcia, he received his release. Any chance he's back in pinstripes next year?
MN: We haven't had a discussion with him or his agents about that. He's got a ton of rehabbing to do. We've always liked Chris and thought he's a great, talented guy. Feel bad about the injuries he had to go through.
GW: Thank you very much, Mr. Newman. I really appreciate you taking time out to talk to me.
MN: Anytime, buddy.
Many thanks to Mark for doing his 2nd interview with NoMaas. We very much appreciate it.

You're surviving the soggiest month: Novemberon November 12, 2013 @ 5:28 pm (Updated: 8:51 am - 11/13/13 )
What month of the year is the wettest? Why it is this month - November.
Of all 12 months in the year, November is the wettest throughout Western Washington. It may seem like December would be the wettest since fall ends and winter begins, but November is number one.
Here are some Western Washington 30-year average November and December precipitation statistics:
Dec. (in inches)
November is also the number one month for frequency of flooding in Western Washington. Some of our biggest flooding events on record have occurred in November.
In 1990, Interstate-5 went underwater in the Centralia/Chehalis area for the first time, and in 1995 which was the second time for I-5 in Lewis County.
In 2006, Mt. Rainier National Park suffered substantial damage with recovery still underway today.
In all these cases, there was little or no snow in the mountains. Heavy amounts of rain drive flooding in Western Washington.
Why is November the wettest month? There are a number of reasons:
- The Pacific jet stream tends to spend more time at our latitude during the month.
- The air mass is still relatively warm versus December, meaning the air mass can hold more moisture and hence it rains more when weather systems embedded in the jet stream move ashore.
- With Western Pacific tropical storms more frequent in the month, such as the super typhoon that pounded the Philippines last week, more subtropical moisture can be involved in weather systems that cross the Pacific and move onshore, producing heavier rain amounts.
So have your umbrella handy during this month. It will slowly start getting drier next month.

I heard it on a CBS Sunday Morning segment.
I heard it at my parents home when celebrating my father's 67th birthday. He called my boys whippersnappers for a laugh.
I heard it again, on the radio, and didn't catch why it was said, but thought perhaps it was a part of a name of a band?
What is a whippersnapper? In my mind, it is a reference to someone young who may be challenging the old. But I looked it up in my Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary and it says:
n [alter. of snippersnapper] (1700):
a diminutive, insignificant or presumptuous person
Hmm. Okay. So maybe it does apply to youth in a way, albeit indirect. But it has popped up on my radar. Have you heard anyone say whippersnapper in your neck of the woods? What words are following you?

A Word Following Me

- Jan Morrison said...
Heck yes! The reason you thought it was to do with youth is because it usually comes with young before it. As in "you young whippersnappers think you know everything but you don't know jack-shit!" How about these words -jaboney, flibberdegibbet, and jackanapes?

CORPUS CHRISTI - A registered sex offender is in police custody this morning accused of aggravated sexual assault and kidnapping.
Police checking out an alarm call at Rubio's Automotive this morning found the owner, 50-year-old Rudy Rubio, on the property. Officials say he tried to run and got into a struggle with the officers.
Warrants for Rubio's arrest were issued earlier this week on the kidnapping and sex assault charges. He's now facing charges of evading arrest and resisting arrest.
Police have not released details on the latest allegations against Rubio. He's been a registered sex offender since 2005 when he was convicted of indecency with a child by sexual contact.

"Not a Lot of Bang, But a Lot of Buzz"
Categories: Hikers to Handsewns: Products & Design, Making Our Difference: TBL CSR
Timberland CEO Jeff Swartz was in Washington last week as part of the GreenBiz State of Green Business Forum. In an interview with journalist Marc Gunther, Jeff shared his thoughts about the challenge of engaging on environmental issues with consumers who simply want to buy a pair of good-looking shoes!
"Nobody's coming in saying, 'Could I please save the planet?' … I think people come in saying, 'I need a shoe.'"
Tags: GreenBiz, Marc gunther, Rantings of Responsible Bootmakers, State of Green Business Forum
There are also some other reasons than usual needs… For me; Timberland boots are aphrodisiacs. I have a fetish for women wearing Timberland boots. I usually buy presents for my GFs and they are mostly boots…
It's a very exciting event for me to shop for boots. "Saving the planet" is a bonus.

Are your shoes and boots easily repaired so that they can be made to last years?

|Home | Recorder Music |
Composers Z
|John Stepan Zamecnik (1872-1953)
According to the Internet source given below, John Stepan Zamecnik was an American composer of popular music and a major composer of so-called photoplay music i.e. music used by silent film theatre orchestras. Born and raised in Cleveland, he went to Prague to study with Antonín Dvorák then returning to America as a professional musician and composer. He works included songs, dances, salon music, photoplay music and complete film scores. A film music pioneer, he worked throught the entire period from vaudeville through silent film to the advent of talking movies.
His first known published work College Yell (1908) was brought out by Sam Fox Publishing Company starting a long association with that company after quickly becoming its musical director. Of ragtime interest is his Mandy's Ragtime Waltz (1912). In common with many of his contemporaries he used pseudonyms but in this respect he must surely be a record holder having perhaps as many as 21! Some of his confirmed pen-names are: Lionel Baxter R.L. (Robert) Creighton, Arturo de Castro, "Josh and Ted", J. (Jane) Hathaway, Kathryn Hawthorne, Roberta Hudson, Ioane Kawelo, Dorothy Lee, J. Edgar Lowell, Jules Reynard, F. (Frederick) Van Norman, Hal Vinton and Grant Wellesley.

This review is from: StarTech 2POSTRACK 42U 2 Post Open Frame Rack w/ Casters
Pros: Product arrived late and incomplete. Key components missing - cant stand the rack upright without them.
Cons: useless when not shipped with all parts
Other Thoughts: Sad very sad to have an item like this shipped to you under the premise that it is new ( was NOT "open box" item )only to find out it was returned and resold several times ahead of you.
Did you find this review helpful?
really good
This review is from: StarTech 2POSTRACK 42U 2 Post Open Frame Rack w/ Casters
Pros: This was easy to setup and is holding a lot and I mean a lot!
Cons: The only thing I wish it had more of is the rack bolts.
Did you find this review helpful?
Wish I could assemble it
This review is from: StarTech 2POSTRACK 42U 2 Post Open Frame Rack w/ Casters
Pros: Steel rack with casters. Great for small to medium sized office IT equipment. Comes with cage nuts and bolts. The rails are beefier than expected.
Cons: My box came to me missing parts, so I am as of yet, unable to test the rack as a rack. I contacted the company direct about the missing parts, and all they were willing to do was offer an RMA. For most merchandise, this would be sufficient, but for a 50 pound, 6 foot long box it is just a pain. It would make more sense to just ship the missing parts.
Other Thoughts: If you get a complete unit, it is worth the money. If you don't get a complete unit, it's not worth the time.

Great Deal
This review is from: StarTech 2POSTRACK 42U 2 Post Open Frame Rack w/ Casters
Pros: *Very sturdy
Cons: Directions for assembly were not the greatest , but luckily this isn't brain surgery!
Other Thoughts: Currently I have have 4 Tripp Lite 24 port Patch Panels (also purchased from Newegg) mounted on the top & my Sonicwall CDP and Linksys 48 port switch located half way down. I'm able to move the rack around easily still to get behind it and work , and when I'm done I'm able to move it back to the corner of my network closet.
Did you find this review helpful?
Good rack
This review is from: StarTech 2POSTRACK 42U 2 Post Open Frame Rack w/ Casters
Pros: Good and sturdy for a 2 post rack, I like that it's made of steel, since many other options are aluminum. It needs cage nuts for attaching your rack-mount devices, which I like since if one happens to strip out, just replace the cage nut, not the whole rack. It comes with casters, which is nice.
Cons: As I've seen on other reviews, the end of some of the metal pieces arrived a little bent and needed to be bent back into proper shape before assembly, but easily done in a few seconds with a pair of pliers.
Other Thoughts: I couldn't find anywhere before buying about whether this came with cage nuts. Mine came with a bag of 21 cage nuts and 20 screws. I think they're M6, but not sure.

Republicans Buy Another Promoted Trend On Twitter, Asking #AreYouBetterOff?
As we mentioned in the saga of @MexicanMitt (the Romney parody account shut down just before Mitt's speech), the RNC has no problem paying the $120,000 price tag to purchase a promoted trend on Twitter.
And they just shelled out another cool $120k to give the #DNC2012 a solid kick in the face, by asking the Twitterverse #AreYouBetterOff?

FlightTime received its 1989 award from SBANE for "identifying and capitalizing on a new niche in the business travel market." Founded in 1985, the company geared the concept of air chartering to the then untapped corporate and academic market. Then FlightTime totally reinvented itself in the late 1990s as the Internet came into its own and now offers charter reservation services online to business and leisure travelers, sports teams and corporations. The firm had sales of $27 million last year, up from $20 million in 2000.
The complex task of integrating its state-of-the-art Internet booking system has not stopped FlightTime from continuing its product innovations. Last year, it introduced Freedom Plan, a service with the convenience of private aviation and the flexibility of charter. This year, the company launched its Charter Management Program to help corporate clients create charter travel policies, boost security and reduce costs.
"A culture has been nurtured here to introduce innovative products and services to meet customer demand," says Michael Foliot, CEO and president, who joined the company in 2000. "As a small company, we can do that very well." The company has 80 employees at its Waltham headquarters and in nine offices worldwide.
According to chairman and founder Jane McBride, the method of promoting an innovative culture at FlightTime has changed over the years. "In the early days, our culture encouraged a 'wing it' management style. We used to think that was the only way to stimulate innovation," she says. "But in the late '90s, when we saw the impact technology and other market forces were going to have over the next five years, we had to change dramatically, and part of that was creating more discipline. We had to develop an organizational structure and systems for measurement and accountability."
Creative reorganization actually freed the company up to be more innovative. "It was painful to go through the soul-searching and choose to make big changes, but we had to put the infrastructure, a new management team and a whole new culture in place to allow us to keep innovating," McBride adds. Naming Foliot as CEO was part of that evolution. While McBride continues to serve as the company's chief visionary, Foliot handles operations.
"Getting ideas was never a problem for us; we always have tons of ideas," says McBride. "But putting processes and procedures in place has enabled us to get ideas through to implementation faster and to weed out those that aren't going to work. We now have criteria against which we can measure and prioritize ideas so we move ahead with the very best ones instead of taking the scattershot approach we used to take. This has made a big difference in our ability to bring innovative products to market faster."

Ray Price has been in poor health recently because he had been battling pancreatic cancer and there were false reports over the weekend that Ray had died, but those proved to be untrue. Ray died at hom on Monday at the age of 87. Ray's last message to his fans was, "I love my fans and have devoted my life to reaching out to them. I appreciate their support all these years and I hope I haven't let them down. I am at peace. I love Jesus. I'm going to be just fine. Don't worry about me. I'll see you again one day."

I mean, I haven't been overly nice to him, no, because that's just not how I am with new people. But it's not like I'm hurling spit balls his way. It's so frustrating...every time I think I'm becoming a better person, something happens and I think whatever I'm doing is wrong!

The first Flight Design CTLSi airplanes powered by the new fuel-injected Rotax 912 iS engine have landed in the U.S., and many have reportedly been delivered to customers both in the United States and abroad.
Despite the effects of hurricane Sandy around New York City, where Flight Design USA Light-Sport Aircraft make landfall, the first of CTLSi aircraft have arrived and been shipped on to the Northeast U.S., Florida, the Midwest, and the West Coast. While demand is high for the new "i" version of the LSA, airplanes with the carbureted 912 ULS engine are also available.
The injected engine was projected by Rotax to improve fuel economy by 20 percent, along with other improvements. Lone Mountain Aviation president Kenny Scherado said, "We received and assembled one of the first CTLSi aircraft with the new Rotax powerplant. Besides the fuel economy, the CTLSi with the 912iS engine runs smoother and starts easier." As with all Rotax engines, 91-octane automobile gasoline works very well at lower cost. The engine can also use 100 LL avgas or can mix either in any proportion.
"We now have several CTLSi aircraft equipped with the Rotax 912iS engine in the USA and more en route from Germany," said Flight Design USA President Tom Peghiny. "Early reports from our dealers across the country are a strong indication of the popularity we can expect from the CTLSi." Peghiny said that after seven years of importing the Flight Design CT series, the model remains atop the market share list, a position it has enjoyed since the beginning of the Light-Sport Aircraft era.
