Asche Favorite for Opening Day Job
Everybody knew for weeks Ryne Sandberg eventually would be named Phillies manager.
Cody Asche is a similar favorite to be the team's Opening Day third baseman in 2014.
"The leader, for me," Sandberg said before tonight's series finale against the Marlins at Marlins Park. "He's the leading candidate right now. He's proven he can play third base, if in fact that's the spot that's there. He's proven defensively he can play third base. And I think his bat has played. He's shown a good steady bat. I think down the stretch it's turned into a little bit of a long season for him possibly. I understand that. But the work ethic and the quality swing for a young guy like that is pretty good."
Asche is hitting .248 with eight doubles, one triple, five home runs, 22 RBIs and a .735 OPS in 166 plate appearances. He started his career 1-for-17 and currently is in a 1-for-18 slump, which Sandberg attributes to a long season for Asche, who has played 149 games after not playing more than 130 in a season in the past.
In between, he has impressed the front office, coaching staff and teammates.
"I've been impressed," Sandberg said. "I think he's really settled into the Major League atmosphere and this level. I think he's over that part of it. He doesn't seem to be in any awe of the Major League atmosphere. And that's another thing that's good about this team he's spent here. And really with a lot of the guys. That's a big thing, getting a taste of this."
So will Sandberg tell Asche he is the favorite for the job when they have their season's end exit interview?
"I'd say come in and be ready to win a job," Sandberg said. "You've shown you can play here. You've shown you can play at this level. Come in and be ready to take the job. I might say that to 25 or 35 guys in the locker room. They might all get the same message. He'll be one of the guys to hear that."
Sandberg Gets the Job
Ryne Sandberg finally got his dream job.
The Phillies will announce at an 11:30 a.m. news conference today at Citizens Bank Park they have removed the "interim" label from Sandberg's job title to make him Phillies manager. Sandberg becomes the 52nd manager in franchise history.
Sandberg replaced Charlie Manuel on an interim basis Aug. 16, but Sandberg has impressed the organization in that time. The Phillies are 18-16 under Sandberg, no small feat for a team that is 25th in baseball averaging 3.84 runs per game, 26th in baseball with a 4.30 ERA and 27th in run differential at minus-121.
It is not a surprise Sandberg got the job. Everybody in the world seemed to know it would happen. The only mystery remained when the Phillies would make the announcement.
They decided today would be the day.
Sandberg, who spent six seasons managing in the Minor Leagues to get a big-league opportunity, has received high marks from players in the clubhouse.
"Ryno is positive," Phillies second baseman Chase Utley said Wednesday. "He's always talking during the game. He's definitely into the game, and guys respect him for that. He's given a lot of guys an opportunity to play, which is nice. So far he's done a great job."
"There's definitely a way he wants to do things," Roy Halladay said earlier this month. "He's set a tone early, and my guess would be that's going to continue. He may even have more changes come Spring Training that he wants to see and that he wants to do. I think sometimes that can be a good thing, just to shake things up and make things different to where it's not the same everyday routine. But he definitely has a way he wants to do things. It's good that he's not afraid to do it the way he wants to do it. If you're going to do something, whatever job you do, you do it to the best of your ability and the way you want to do it and let everything take care of itself. I think he's done that."
Bowa Talks Ryno, Coaching for Ryno and Rollins
Larry Bowa had some interesting things to say Wednesday when he stopped by the ballpark.
First, he explained why Ryne Sandberg will be a good manager.
Second, he talked about possibly taking a job on Sandberg's coaching staff.
But then he talked about Jimmy Rollins, whose .666 OPS is the lowest of his 14-year career. Bowa is a big Rollins fan. The two have a good relationship. One of my favorite Rollins-Bowa stories happened in the clubhouse at Citizens Bank Park in 2004. Bowa was walking through the clubhouse past Rollins' locker, when Rollins' blurted, "Hey, Bo, you've got to pimp that walk. Drag that back leg." Bowa didn't miss a beat and responded, "I'd like to see you drag that back leg across home plate every once in a while." Both men laughed.
"Jimmy still has a lot of baseball left in him," Bowa said Wednesday. "You have to keep the volume up. Sometimes he likes to lower the volume. The volume is definitely turned back up (recently). I can see a big difference."
Rollins is hitting .385 (15-for-39) with two doubles, one home run, two RBIs, seven walks, three stolen bases and a .991 OPS in his last 11 games. It's a small sample size, but it's something.
"I don't even know if they talk," Bowa said about Rollins and Sandberg, "but I see a difference in the way Jimmy has played lately. Ryno hasn't said a word whether he's talked to him, but I just watching Jimmy and see a difference in Jimmy. … "(Rollins is) lucky. You don't play on winning teams every year. To me, the mark of a good player is – what, they are 18 games out? – you still have to post up. It's hard to play like that, but you still have to do it. It's easy to play when everything is going good. He's been very lucky. Even when I was here, we were .500 or above. It's fun to play like that. When you're 18 games out, you have to kick it in, and it's hard sometimes."
Asche Making His Case
If Cody Asche keeps playing like this, you've got to think he will be the Phillies' Opening Day third baseman in 2014.
He went 3-for-4 with one home run and three RBIs in last night's loss to the Nationals. Asche has hit in 10 of his last 11 games. He is hitting .375 (15-for-40) with three doubles, one triple, one home run and nine RBIs in that stretch. He is hitting .312 (24-for-77) in 22 games since beginning his big league career with one hit in his first 17 at-bats.
Two of his hits last night came against Nationals left-hander Gio Gonzalez, making him 5-for-13 with one double and four RBIs against left-handers this season. That is impressive, although it is a small sample size. Asche had an .869 OPS against right-handers this season in Triple-A Lehigh Valley compared to a .691 OPS against left-handers, so it remains to be seen how successful he can be against left-handers over an extended period of time. But that is why Asche has started 21 games against right-handers since joining the Phillies, compared to just three starts against left-handers.
Easing in a left-handed hitter against left-handed pitchers is nothing new. Larry Bowa did the same with Chase Utley and Charlie Manuel did the same with Ryan Howard.
The Phillies faced 31 left-handed starters (19.1 percent of their games) in 2003. Utley started just two of his 36 games (5.6 percent) against them. The Phillies started 28.4 percent of their games against left-handers in 2004. He started just seven of his 57 games (12.3 percent) against them. That disparity grew a little closer in 2005 — 29.6 percent of total games started against lefties compared to 20.6 percent for Utley — before Manuel truly turned Utley loose against lefties in 2006.
Howard started just one of five games in 2004 against lefties, and just 14 of 79 (17.7 percent) against them in 2005. Manuel turned him loose during his MVP season in 2006.
"I thought he had great at-bats," Ryne Sandberg said about Asche. "It goes a long way with his ability. I think he can hit righties or lefties. He has the ability. He should get a big boost from his game tonight."
The Future Unknown to Sandberg
Not too many people know what the future holds for Phillies interim manager Ryne Sandberg, but at the moment the smart bet is he will be in the dugout managing the Phillies in 2014.
He has been impressive through 12 games, although much can change.
Asked today at Citi Field if Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. provided him a timetable for a decision about his future, Sandberg said, "No, he didn't talk about that. Nope. He told me … I'd be named interim manager and we were both on the same page. I might've had as much input or more to say than he did as far as these are meaningful games for evaluation of the players and all that. Fairly easy conversation but it was left at that."
My gut simply tells me Sandberg is the guy. He has made some changes in the clubhouse. He has handled the games well. Everybody seems to be responding to him appropriately. I've got to think if that continues the job is his.
Sandberg Is Making Changes
Roy Halladay yesterday tried to clarify his comments from Tuesday in Class A Lakewood, where he made waves when he discussed the Phillies' managerial change.
Halladay has said both publicly and privately how much he has enjoyed playing for Charlie Manuel. I don't think that was BS. I think he genuinely respected the former Phillies manager. But I think Halladay also hasn't liked what he has seen in the clubhouse lately, and he tried to express those feelings to reporters. But he perhaps garbled his intended message and instead of saying the poor attitude, work ethic, etc., in the clubhouse needed to change, it sounded like he was reburying Manuel and blaming him for everything. That isn't Halladay's style, at least not in my experiences with him. He will speak his mind, but he's not the type of guy to blast a manager, especially a few days after he has been fired.
But Halladay said what he said. So what about "guys being at places on time, being on the field on time, taking ground balls and taking extra BP and all those little thing that nobody thinks make a difference?"
Ryne Sandberg said yesterday, "All I can say on that is being the third-base coach and infield instructor up to last week or five days ago, players came to the ballpark, they reported, they got their work in with the coaches and all of the players were ready to play every single game."
Now, keep in mind, if Sandberg felt differently he certainly was not going to say, "Oh, yes. I completely agree with everything Halladay said. He's right." But that's OK. Sandberg already has talked about lackadaisical play and things needing to change. My very early impressions of Sandberg are he is a man with a plan and a very good sense of how he wants to do things.
I saw evidence of that early this season. He instituted infield practice at home. That is something I have not seen since I started covering the team in 2003. Every once in a blue moon you'd see the team holding infield and outfield practice before a game, but typically only after a run or sloppy games. But Sandberg wanted this to happen, whether or not the team was playing well or poorly. These 20-minute sessions typically began before 4 p.m. for a night game, so I remember asking him if everybody needed to be there. I asked because at the time players didn't need to be in uniform and on the field until the official team stretch, which is a little after 4 p.m. Sandberg seemed completely baffled by my question. He looked stunned.
"These are mandatory," he said sternly.
That leads me to one small, but noteworthy change he has made since he took over Friday.
Sandberg has a 3 p.m. report time to the ballpark for 7 p.m. games.
That is new.
Like I said, in the past players needed to be on the field in time for their group stretch. But Sandberg is making sure everybody is at the ballpark no later than 3 p.m. Again, it's a small, but noteworthy change. But for me, the biggest thing for Sandberg is changing attitudes in the clubhouse. The clubhouse has not been a positive place this season. Players are unhappy (examples here, here and here). Maybe that's just how clubhouse are when teams are losing. But things certainly haven't been helped by the negative energy and attitudes.
If Sandberg can get everybody in the clubhouse to focus their energies on what matters on the field instead of what happens off it, then I think Sandberg will have earned his keep and deserves the full-time job. So far the early returns are good.
Halladay Clarifies Comments on Manuel
Roy Halladay made some very interesting comments last night following his rehab start in Class A Lakewood.
Most everybody took them as Halladay saying Charlie Manuel let things slip the past two seasons, and that Ryne Sandberg would get players back on track, refocused, rededicated, etc. But Halladay made a statement to reporters this afternoon, trying to clarify those comments.
Here is what he said:
"I felt like what was said necessarily wasn't written. And I just want to make it well known that I have a lot of respect for Charlie. There were some articles put out that offended me and I'm sure offended Charlie. And I called him today and talked to him about it. We've been in a lot of contact. I loved playing for him. He was a great manager. Everybody here loved him. The players loved him. And he was a lot of the reason they won the World Series here. I just want to make that point clear. I was also trying to say that I feel like if there was somebody that's going to replace a guy like that then it's going to be a Ryne Sandberg type of person with the experience that he carries and everything else.
"But I really felt like a lot was lost in translation with respect to Charlie. I just want to make that clear. I don't endorse any manager's firing. The players get managers fired. Any time a manager is fired as a player you feel like you haven't done your job.
"Really, that's it. I just want to make sure the air is clear there. I talked to Charlie and we're good. But I wanted him to know that I really enjoyed playing for him and as far as managers have gone, he's the best I've ever been around. I really enjoyed the time with him. At the same token I look forward to working with Ryne, too. Really, that's about it. I think I saw one title that said I endorsed the firing of Charlie Manuel. And that really bothered me, so I just wanted to make sure we were all clear."
Halladay: Change Is Good
Roy Halladay made a rehab start last night at Class A Lakewood, but the most interesting thing might have come after the game when he spoke to reporters about the Phillies' recent managerial change.
The Phillies fired Charlie Manuel on Friday and replaced him with interim manager Ryne Sandberg.
"I've exchanged tests with him (Manuel), obviously I loved him, he was great, but from what I've seen, Ryne came in and made some changes and addressed some issues that I think were being overlooked," Halladay said. "From that standpoint, as much as I miss Charlie, I think that Ryne is going to a good job and yeah I think bring back a little more of the Phillies baseball style than we've had the last couple years. You know, we really haven't had that whole team effort and the whole team hustle I think we had in prior years."
So what exactly needed to be addressed?
"Ah, just different things," he said. "I mean guys being at places on time, being on the field on time, taking ground balls and taking extra bp and all those little thing that nobody thinks make a difference. I think he (Ryne) has been very good so far, but I don't want to take anything away from Charlie. We all respected him tremendously and, you know, I think he's going to have the choice of what he wants to do at this point in his life, so I'm happy for him."
Interesting. It's safe to say the chemistry in the clubhouse hasn't been good for some time. There are some unhappy players in there. Maybe Sandberg will get the players refocused on things that truly matter. And maybe that will make a difference. We'll see.
Balk Shouldn't Have Been Called, Ump Says
Jake Diekman got called for an unusual balk in the eighth inning last night at Citizens Bank Park.
Diekman was working out of the stretch with runners on first and second when Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado wanted to call time and made a movement out of the batter's box, although he never left the box and time had never been called. Diekman began his delivery to the plate, but upon seeing Arenado move out of the box he believed time had been called and stopped his delivery. Home plate umpire Jim Joyce called a balk.
Phillies interim manager Ryne Sandberg and Joyce had three conversations about the call during the game. Sandberg's contention: a hitter cannot induce a balk. Rule 6.02(b) states: "If after the pitcher starts his windup or comes to a 'set position' with a runner on, he does not go through with his pitch because the batter has stepped out of the box, it shall not be called a balk."
Joyce spoke about the call following the game with Randy Marsh, who is Major League Baseball's director of umpires. Marsh is in town this week.
"I implemented the balk wrong," Joyce said before Tuesday's game. "The rule actually states if the batter leaves the batter's box and causes the pitcher to hesitate or stop a balk shall not be called. I got probably a little more technical on that. He didn't leave the box, but the spirit of the rule is if you make the pitcher stop by some sort of action by the batter a balk shall not be called. I probably was a little overzealous in throwing out that balk."
Joyce said he spoke with Sandberg and Rockies manager Walt Weiss about it before tonight's game.
"You could have the hitter step out and if the pitcher delivers a weaker pitch they could step back in and whack it, if they're just trying to deliver a pitch," Sandberg said. "So for me it's a total disadvantage for the pitcher there in all regards to the play. The rule states that and I think that's why the rule is what it is."
No Runs for Ryno
Ryne Sandberg knew this would not be easy.
He joined a select group Saturday when the Phillies suffered a 5-0 loss to the Dodgers at Citizens Bank Park. According to Elias Sports Bureau, Sandberg became one of just three managers in baseball history to suffer shutout losses in their first two games as manager.
Miami's Mike Redmond suffered the same fate as Sandberg to begin this season.
The other?
Louisville's Jack Chapman in 1876, which was the first year of the National League.

Tax totals
Calculate federal payroll withholdings with this basic utility.
Many small businesses have software--or even outside companies--that handle employee payroll. Businesses with very few employees, however, may find that they can still manage payroll by hand. Vinny Federal Withholding Tax is a basic program that calculates appropriate payroll withholdings based on gross pay, pay period, and dependents. This is by no means a full-featured payroll solution, but for a quick withholding calculator, it works fine.
The program's interface is plain and pretty self-explanatory. Users enter the gross salary and any additional income or withholdings, select the length of the pay period and the employee's marital status, and enter the number of dependents. The application then calculates the withholdings for federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare. Vinny Federal Withholding Tax is definitely designed for very basic payroll situations; if employee bonuses are taxed at a different rate than salaries are, for example, there's really no way to handle it with this program. Nor did we love the fact that there's only one space to enter "Other/Misc" income or withholdings; pretax insurance, retirement, or HSA deductions must all be lumped in together, a design that may increase the chances for errors. The program has a basic Help file that explains its use, but it assumes that the user already has an understanding of how payroll deductions work. Overall, we think that Vinny Federal Withholding Tax is a great choice for very small businesses with basic payroll needs, but that it may be insufficient for many users.
Vinny Federal Withholding Tax comes as a ZIP file. It installs and uninstalls without issues. We recommend this program to select users.
Editors' note: This is a review of the full version of Vinny Federal Withholding Tax 2010 10.0. The trial version is limited to 14 days.

There are some plants which for some reason I have never been able to grow:
Roses (Every Rose I have ever planted has died except those wild weedy ones) Poppies (They always waste away and die) Viburnum (I have tried twice and both died during the winter) I have had great success with trilliums though. :) Do you guys have similar problems with other plants in the Ohio Valley? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Chamaecyparis obtusa - any cultivar. They either succumb after a year or two or most of the foliage turns brown and looks like crap. I quit trying this year after too many loses. |
- Posted by livingfossil 6a Dayton OH (My Page) on Sun, Jun 1, 08 at 4:42
I have killed one of those too mrgpag. My second one, a lot of the top part died off (during the winter), so that next summer, I constructed a little dirt mound on its north side and this past winter it did not brown and is recovering. I have only ever gotten the "Hage" variety. Have you kept them out of those drying winter north winds? |

Rhubarb. I don't know what I continually do wrong but it'd died four times now. Janet |
Rhubarb. I don't know what I continually do wrong but it'd died four times now. A friend of mine also had problems with getting rhubarb to live. He said the little plant would just disappear. I told him the only thing I could think of was that possibly some underground varmit was getting it and pulling it down and away. I'm not sure if he ever succeeded or not. If I have something die, or not do well, when I get a new one, or the opportunity, I move the existing one. A 'new' spot usually helps a lot. Sue |

I start out with nice roots from Indiana Berry Company and they look good for a month or so and then they start going downhill. I had one make it through the winter last year and it looks really spindly. I changed where I planted it thinking there was too much clay underneath it but it doesn't like the new place either. I'm going to try it one more year and if it doesn't take I'm done throwing money down THAT hole! Janet |

LOL Great topic. I couldn't tell you how much money I have spent on roses. I think I would even kill artificial ones. Oh and African Violets. Lots of money spent on those. |

Sorry about the African Violets. My friend grows those and he only puts water in their catch plate. Maybe that will help? I always kill orchids or at the very least they have never bloomed for me. They start to bloom and then the flower buds dry out and fall off. lol Also, I killed a Balsam Fir, but my Caucasian Fir as done great! :) |
I can't seem to keep gaura going more than one season.

Finally got the scabiosa & moonbeam coreopsis to take. With roses I'm batting about .500--but it's always the ones that I most want that die. However--plants that I didn't know could be garden thugs ALWAYS do well for me... |

Lupines haven't done well for me either. Either the heat or rabbits (or some other critter) is eating them. I have some Lupines in a little cage with sun and shade and they do a lot better. They actually came back. My Gaura came back and it was my first time trying those. My Gaura is in a rather hot and dry spot. |
tradascantia (is that hhow you spell it?) fine strappy leaves, small clusters of blue 3 petaled flowers. spiderwort? and lately virginia bluebells. yes i cann't grow what some people call weeds. diggerb |

I am embarassed to say it but I routinely lose Shasta daisies (Leucanthemum sp) even though I don't have trouble with many other perennials. However, one little clump I threw under a lilac and mugho pine that is being overcrowded by feverfew seems to be prospering. |

Maternity Protections and Employee Rights
The International Labour Conference, a deliberative body of the International Labour Organization has adopted the revised Maternity Protection Convention 183. Governments across the globe are considering ratification of this important international law. Education International, together with other international trade unions, identified key rights that were necessary to be included in the new convention.
Women teachers make up the largest number of unionized women workers in the world. Due to this, Education International has a special responsibility in transforming international law to benefit education employees.
For women in developing and industrialized nations, Convention 183 will provide an important security, which will guide the development and implementation of domestic laws governing maternity protections. Although the United States rarely ratifies ILO treaties, Convention 183 would benefit women in the United States.
Family and Medical Leave Act
This United States law provides that working mothers (or fathers) can take a total of 12 work weeks of unpaid leave to care for the birth of a child and the care of a newborn. The Family and Medical Leave Act applies only to employees working in companies with 50 or more workers. The law was passed in 1993.
Nine Key Points of the Maternity Protection Convention
Includes all women, including those employed in the informal sector.
Provides for protection of the health of the mother and the child.
Ensures that pregnant and breastfeeding women are not required to perform work which risks their health.
Extends maternity leave to 14 weeks with compulsory leave of 6 weeks.
Additional leave shall be provided, as necessary to maternal health prior and/or after birth.
Cash benefits to new mothers shall be paid "at a level which ensures that the woman can maintain herself and her child in proper conditions of health and with a suitable standard of living."
Maternity leave shall be paid for through a government fund unless employers agree that they shall pay for the leave.
It is unlawful to terminate employment due to pregnancy, childbirth or breastfeeding.
Breastfeeding breaks for working women shall be provided by the employer and shall be counted and remunerated as working time.
Maternity Benefits in Other Nations
Women in many countries fare far better with maternity rights than women in the United States. The chart below is a sampling of maternity leave benefits in 15 nations taken from The World?s Women 2000 by the United Nations.
Industrialized Nations Denmark Hungary Spain United Kingdom United States |
Length of Maternity Leave 18 weeks 24 weeks 16 weeks 14-18 weeks 12 weeks |

Acer XF Leggera Titanium Driver - Custom Assembled
Base Price $99.95
Golfers try to obtain more distance by using a lighter weight shaft, which most do so already. But that is only half of the equation if someone is seeking additional distance. The other component for tape measure drives is to increase the club length for greater leverage. But there is a potential problem: existing head weights are too heavy, creating a club that feels unwieldy. The solution is the Acer XF Leggera. A lighter weight head, which when married to today's lighter and longer length shafts, reduces the overall weight of the club for an even faster clubhead speed. Featuring advanced manufacturing which sheds the weight from only the crown area and ensures the center of gravity is in the right place to create those monstrous drives you have only dreamed of. Greed is good, so go long and not wrong, with the Acer XF Leggera.Comes with Free Acer headcover! Learn More

Drew W Purves and Stephen W Pacala
13 June 2008
Dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs) have shown that forest dynamics could dramatically alter the response of the global climate system to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide over the next century. But there is little agreement between different DGVMs, making forest dynamics one of the greatest sources of uncertainty in predicting future climate. DGVM predictions could be strengthened by integrating the ecological realities of biodiversity and height-structured competition for light, facilitated by recent advances in the mathematics of forest modeling, ecological understanding of diverse forest communities, and the availability of forest inventory data.

Non serviam
Non serviam is Latin for "I will not serve". The phrase is generally attributed to Lucifer, who is said to have spoken these words to express rejection to serve God in the heavenly kingdom.
Today "Non serviam" is also used or referred to as motto by a number of political, cultural, and religious groups to express their wish to rebel; it may be used to express a radical view against established common beliefs and organisational structures accepted as the status quo.
In the Latin Vulgate, Jeremiah laments that the people of Israel speak "Non serviam" to express their rejection of God. The words became a general expression of the basic manner of rejecting God, such that it would apply to the fall of Lucifer. The words have thus been attributed to Lucifer.
In modern times "Non serviam" developed also into a general phrase used by modernists to express radical, sometimes even revolutionary rejection of conformity, not necessarily limited to religious matters only and as expressed in modern literary adaptations of the motto.[1]
The expression also underlies the Shermanesque statement, that "I will not accept if nominated and will not serve if elected."
Scriptural discussion[edit]
The original Hebrew phrase is לֹא אעבוד (Lô´ ´e`ĕvôd). Some English language Bibles may translate "non serviam" as "I will not transgress"; this seems to be an alternate reading of certain manuscripts. This is most likely a scribal error because the difference between "serve" (עבד) and "transgress" (עבר) in late Hebrew characters is so minute that it would be easy to mistake one for the other when hand-copying a manuscript. Most modern literal translations (such as the Revised Standard Version) choose "serve" over "transgress" as the proper reading because the context calls for a statement of disobedience, not of obedience.[citation needed]

Re:The judge;'s job isn't to get livid. (404 comments)
Yeah -- An "Order to Seal" and an "Order to Close Proceedings" are two separate things --- although, in your defense, they are usually contained in one document....but to reiterate again........even if a trial is "completely open" or a county or municipality has an "open file policy" that doesn't mean that all the evidence and the black glove are sitting in a fucking file for everyone to go and see -- sorry, the law doesn't work that way -- nor does the Constitution. Releasing suppressed evidence may not be "illegal" in that the attorney won't go to jail -- but it flies in the face of the judicial system and he has ruined any respectable career prospects he has. Additionally, a lawyer not only fights for the rights of his or her client but also the integrity of the system WE ALL live under -- the Samsung lawyer obviously didn't get the memo in this case. At any rate, Samsung just fucked themselves because not only will Apple move for sanctions but also could potentially move for a mistrial and start all over.
Re:The judge;'s job isn't to get livid. (404 comments)
No - the judge's job is to ensure a FAIR and IMPARTIAL trial -- and releasing excluded evidence to the press completely undermines that. Jurors aren't allowed to talk about a trial outside the courtroom -- Samsung has an even higher duty to NOT discuss the case with the media, as does Apple. The attorney, if he did release the information, should be sanctioned not only for the leak but also for making the courtroom into a theater. Its hard as shit to get evidence excluded -- if it was, there was good reason for doing so. --Yeah--I'm a lawyer.
Re:Engineering Standards (419 comments)
No, this is what happens when fat legislators write technical documents....most of whom went to sub-par law school all across the country. Lawyers are the only ones who are going to fix this problem now....so don't hate us too much. I say the democrats should float a bill protecting the tax payers from paying for any potential damages and force any damage payments to be shunted to the developer\owner of the land....lets see how many companies are vying for space on the coast to develop.

Re:Drop charges == pay? (298 comments)
I don't know how the Canadian court system works. But, Yes - in Britain if you lose a case -- you pay the winning party's legal fees. In the US - at a federal level attorney fees can be awarded in Civil Rights Cases under the: Civil Rights Attorney's Fees Award Act of 1976. Additionally, in some civil cases you can request attorney fees be awarded to you...but that is usually only the case if the Court is also awarding punitive damages.
Re:Uh, no (897 comments)
Thus the part that reads, "If you cannot afford..."
Why was this modded up to 4 - "Interesting?" I would look up the requirements (i.e. lack of income requirement) for access to the public defender system in your state. In Wisconsin for example --- if you make >$260\week you are not allowed a public defender and have to provide your own council. Let's see -- $260\week -- assuming you never take any vacation -- thats less than $14K a year.
Also - I agree that coercing defendants to settle does happen -- in criminal and civil cases -- but the dockets of courts around the country are already filled -- so sure, we can "break" the system -- but unless you're willing to fight for another century to rebuild the entire judiciary -- its pointless. The reality is, trials are expensive, they suck, depending on the jurisdiction -- you may already be screwed (so settlement is your BEST option), and most people don't have the wherewithal or resources to carry a case through to final judgment.
I have no idea what the answer is -- as I see it, there is no fix or magic bullet...but, demonizing settlement of cases, or plea bargains -- is not the answer. And nor is forcing a trial on someone who will most likely be indebted for the rest of their lives paying legal and court fees -- there is no justice in that -- and in many cases -- it is a worse fate than would have come out of settling.

What could be argued is that in fact (and we know its not true) an IP address does point to a person..but happened (because of open WIFI) to point to the WRONG person. What needs to be brought up is IP address leasing...and that a particular IP could belong to countless people over a pretty short period of time...only then will we put this issue to rest.
Re:It's not "forced" if you agree to it in a contr (415 comments)
Yeah ok - AT&T can do it and save millions of dollars (while screwing the customer)...so I guess all those other large companies in the US won't do the same thing because its "wrong" and money doesn't mean anything to them...they're not for profit right?!
Well if that's the case I;ll just take my money and invisible hand and go to another company......oh wait.....
....maybe my only option is not not have a phone, not have internet, not have TV....and just like never buy anything and just not do business with ANY large company that will of course change their policies to reflect the ruling? Sure...ok...you're right...its not forced...I'll just have no modern product or service that most people consider necessary to live...im better than them anyway.
LinuxMint\MediaCom (379 comments)
Linux Mint uses a custom search to generate ad revenue. Removing the "branded" results from showing up when you're using the "awesome bar" in FF4 was a pain....but there was a pretty easy way to do it...this might work for the MediaCom problem too..... First, do a generic search on Google (or your search engine of choice): Copy the url up to the ="Your Search Terms" Second, go to about:config in FF Third, Filter for browser.search.searchenginesURL Fourth, modify the string to be the one you copied to the clipboard....now all your searchs thru the awesome bar will be routed directly to the search engine. Does this fix your issue?

Its just cheaper and simpler for Micro$oft to sue a US company....with a deeper pockets.... Will this stop jobs from going overseas? Do you believe that?...Besides, outsourcing is not a bad thing...the US is failing because we refuse to invest more money in R&D and are helplessly clinging to our post WWII manufacturing grandeur....Western Europe isn't bombed to shit anymore...time to move on...the US, you, and Microsoft.
Re:No sympathy here, sorry (844 comments)
Yeah Wikipedia and a show on Comedy Central are definitely my two main sources of news.....but....here's the first paragraph from the Wikipedia article: In June 2010, the magazine Wired reported that the U.S. State Department and embassy personnel were concerned that Bradley Manning, a U.S. Army soldier who had been charged with the unauthorized download of classified material while he was stationed in Iraq, had leaked diplomatic cables. WikiLeaks rejected the report as inaccurate: "Allegations in Wired that we have been sent 260,000 classified U.S. embassy cables are, as far as we can tell, incorrect".[16][17] Yeah..."concern" is really the same thing as having ANY sort of evidence not to mention proof... I'm not just making an argument for the sake of argument...basing your assumptions on knee jerk logic, "OH HE LEAKED THE VIDEO SO IT MUST BE HIM THAT LEAKED THE CABLES!!" is something Fox News would (and does!) do...is that your main source of news?

Another long awaited title, and a goody at that!!!
I was thinking that the title was referring to --not hazing exactly--but ways to welcome new members to the team.
I love that Ginny thought she was above pre game rituals, but kissing Harry at this point in your storyline is second nature.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review. This little bit of fluff was a lot of fun to write (and I probably did far too much research into pre-match rituals) Im certain that Ginny suffered a little when she first joined the Harpies, but no one messes with Ginny for long. -N-
I laughed so much during this , it was very easy for me to be able to see how Ginny was feeling during this somewhat akward and bizarre scene! Your titel is Brill - its really clever! Fab as ever!! :)
Author's Response: Thanks. Even Ginny gets nervous and her first professional game would qualify. Sometimes titles come easily to me, I had to work on this one, glad you liked it. -N-
yay 1st review! this story was adorable!! I loved the personalities of the harpies team members (Gillian's comments were hilarious)! As usual the harry/ginny interaction made me sigh, you write their relationship so perfectly. I love the fact that Ginny's pre-game ritual is kissing Harry, so cute! As usual, your stories make me smile, so please keep writing more :D
Author's Response:
Thanks for the review.
This story is a nod back to both Grave Days and Aurors and Schoolgirls, where Ginnys ritual begins. There will be more H/G stuff, but first I have 2½ mysteries to complete for the Mysterious May challenge (the half is Unspeakable which will not be a bundle of laughs). -N-

In Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals, James Harden of the Oklahoma City Thunder went down like Tyson Chandler of the Dallas Mavericks landed a haymaker to his right eye. The referees immediately gave Chandler a technical foul. After reviewing the game tape, the NBA rescinded the technical because it was obvious Harden flopped. The sport of soccer is often criticized for its frequent flopping, but flopping has become more prevalent over the years in professional basketball.

I've read here that "lint trap is secondary filter placed in-line with the discharge venting from your dryer and serves to keep the venting clean. The longer or more convoluted the dryer vent run, the more necessary - fire hazard concerns and all. " Our dryer is right next to an exterior wall one the first floor so the vent will go right out. is there any need to install lint trap? also most lint trap i searched says "for dryer boosting applications". what is that? |

Besides my other musical projects New Age Hippies (Trance and Psytrance), Smooth Genestar (Lounge, Chillout and Downbeat) and Tenonaki (Techno and TechHouse), i established "Smooth" back in 2006 to seperate the progressive and Dubtechno flavoured output from my other musical projects. Meanwhile, Smooth has become a project for research in Dubtechno, Deep House, Garage House, UK House and Progressive, as these styles have been important influences over the bygone years. Early Drum&Bass and 2-Step are also giving me lots of inspirations till the the presents days.
My intention is to fuse elements and phrases of these different styles, to create a special kind of flow and to step beyond musical borders. I love to fuse lively pads with dubby chords and elements of Techno, Trance, Progressive Trance and House. I started producing back in 1996, and since that time, i tried many electronic musical genres. To melt the best of all those genres into one is an exciting experience. I use primary hardware in comnination with some certain software.
Beside producing, mastering, sound design and graphic design, i operate the non-commercial audio netlabel CYAN in cooperation with Jaja. If you like as many different electronic music genres as i do and if you are curious about musical fusions, expect to find further unique releases there, released free under a creative commons license.

The Washington Post carried the most stories on page one, but there were many fewer than the year before. He argues that his analysis suggests a certain amount of "Iraq fatigue" on the part of American editors. (Via chicagotribune.com)

Artes Del Sur Sauvignon Blanc
Artes Del Sur
- Chile
Sauvignon Blanc grapes originated in France, where they are still widely grown today and treated to a wide range of processing practices from aging in oak barrels, blending with other varietals, and undergoing malolactic fermentation to encourage a more mellow, buttery finish. These green skinned white wine grapes are highly versatile, and are now grown in several countries around the world which have the correct climatic conditions for getting the best results from them. Generally, Sauvignon Blanc varietal grapes prefer a cooler climate, as too much heat dulls the flavor present in the fruit. As such, they are generally grown in valleys and on coastal areas, where they can benefit from cooling breezes before being typically harvested early in the summer. The grapes themselves produce wines which are often very dry and crisp, yet full of a wide range of flavors including grasses, tropical fruits and citrus notes.
Chile has a long and rich wine history which dates back to the Spanish conquistadors of the 16th century, who were the first to discover that the wonderful climate and fertile soils of this South American country were ideal for vine cultivation. It has only been in the past forty or fifty years, however, that Chile as a modern wine producing nation has really had an impact on the rest of the world. Generally relatively cheap in price,Whilst being widely regarded as definitively 'New World' as a wine producing country, Chile has actually been cultivating grapevines for wine production for over five hundred years. The Iberian conquistadors first introduced vines to Chile with which to make sacramental wines, and although these were considerably different in everything from flavor, aroma and character to the wines we associate with Chile today, the country has a long and interesting heritage when it comes to this drink. Chilean wine production as we know it first arose in the country in the mid to late 19th century, when wealthy landowners and industrialists first began planting vineyards as a way of adopting some European class and style. They quickly discovered that the hot climate, sloping mountainsides and oceanic winds provided a perfect terroir for quality wines, and many of these original estates remain today in all their grandeur and beauty, still producing the wines which made the country famous.

Everything You Want to Know About Japan's Marines
by Kyle Mizokami on Sep 25, 2012 • 8:32 am 4 CommentsJapan's burgeoning amphibious warfare capability has been in the news lately, as Japanese troops have been exercising with U.S. Marines on the island of Guam. This is not exactly a new thing, and has been in the works for some time now. In fact, it probably would have been buried again had the exercises, planned months in advance, coincided with rising tensions over the Senkaku islands.
Marines have been banned in modern Japan because marines take things away from other countries. Like aircraft carriers, they are considered tools of offensive warfare. That is, until Japan needs them. There are marines and there are
marines, and Japan has decided that the kind of marines that land on Japanese territory to take them back are okay.
Japan has been worried about this exact same scenario playing out in the press — activists landing on an island — for nearly a decade. Or rather, they worry about armed activists, terrorists, or foreign troops dressed up as activists or terrorists landing on a Japanese island and illegally occupying it. For regular activists, there's the Japan Coast Guard. But when the "activists" are equipped with automatic weapons and light support weapons, there must be ground self defense forces personnel trained in amphibious warfare.
Initial training in amphibious operations was undertaken by an unidentified GSDF brigade, possibly the 1st Combined (formerly 15th Brigade) on Okinawa. Eventually the Western Army Infantry Regiment, based in Nagasaki, was tasked the amphibious mission. The location ensures that the WAIR can be quickly embarked on MSDF ships at Nagasaki/Sasebo. The unit would probably be loaded onto one of three Oosumi-class Landing Ship, Tank vessels, which have well decks to accommodate small boats or hovercraft.
JS Shimokita, an Oosumi-class LST. The ship has a full-length flight deck (no hangar) and a well deck that can accommodate 2 LCAC hovercraft.
The Western Army Infantry Regiment is actually of battalion size, consisting of at least three–possibly four–infantry companies. The regiment has no vehicles except for small Toyota jeeps. One company per year is sent to San Diego in the spring for the annual "Iron Fist" exercises where they train with U.S. Marines in a variety of operations, from beach landings to passage of lines exercises. The exercises have been going on
since 2006, so if an article tells you the Japanese are still picking up a lot of the basics, it's probably off-base.
U.S. Marine Corps Staff Sgt. David Cleaves drives a Combat Inflatable Craft carrying Japanese soldiers during Exercise "Iron Fist" near Naval Amphibious Base Coronado, Calif., Jan. 12, 2006.
The WAIR has only limited means for getting ashore. At this time they have only been photographed carrying out landings via Combat Inflatable Craft. The MSDF has
Landing Craft, Medium
and American-built Landing Craft Air Cushion hovercraft but lacking armored transport, the WAIR appears to favor stealth. Speaking of armored transport, Japan
recently announced
it is procuring four AAV-7 amphibious assault vehicles
of the kind the U.S. Marines use. Such vehicles would afford a platoon of WAIR troops armored protection up to and onto the beachhead.
The SDF is keeping the initial amphibious forces small because it doesn't want to seem provocative, and because the islands it is training to recover are all fairly tiny. The SDF could buy enough AAVs to transport an entire company, but the islands are all so small a platoon could easily secure them.

Marines and Japanese soldiers are participating in Exercise Iron Fist, a bilateral training exercise to enhance their amphibious knowledge. (U.S. Navy photo by Aviation Structural Mechanic Airman Justin Joyner/Released)
That is, if the platoon doesn't take too many casualties. Like a lot of SDF operations, there doesn't seem to be a lot of redundancy built into Japan's amphibious forces and plans. This is probably attributable to budgetary concerns, but also to Japan's pacifist nature, and the idea that the minimum amount of force should be used to resolve a situation. As any student of amphibious warfare knows, casualties can mount up quickly. It's not for nothing that the U.S. Marine Corps maintains a thirteen man rifle squad.
The WAIR is kind of a go-it-alone infantry force. It has no air support, except for machine guns mounted on JMSDF helicopters. It has no heavy vehicles except for the AAV-7s, which won't be available for another year. Of course, armored vehicles could always be cross-attached to the WAIR, and it's convenient that the new Type 10 tank maxes out at 44 tons and can be outfitted with a dozer plow.
I observed C Company, WAIR in the field in March of 2011 at Camp Pendleton. (See Part
4.) They were sharp troops, very professional looking. Colonel Hudson, the 11th MEU commander, told me that he thought they were first-rate. C Company was in the States for a month, and most days were taken up by the training schedule. Will they perform their mission well? The GSDF has never been in combat. It's hard to say. They seem to be well-trained, and are mentored by the most proficient amphibious force in the world. The odds are in their favor. Let's hope we don't have to find out.

Young And Willing
For those, if any, who have wondered why so many Paramount contractees appeared in United Artists' films during the war years, this is another one of the Paramount productions that was sold to United Artists in the early-40's when U.A. was having trouble meeting their exhibitor contracts because of lack of product, mainly due to their loss of production in England. A group of starving, but young and willing, actors band together to share finances and an apartment. Norman Reese (William Holden) orders no love nonsense between the boys and girls till they are set on broadway, but Marge Benson (Barbara Britton) and Tony Dennison (James Beown) are already secretly married. A friend drops in to see Dottie Coburn (Martha O'Driscoll) and is shocked to find the boys and girls sharing the same apartment and insists it is her duty to inform Dottie's father (Jay Fassett.)

US pending home sales rise to highest in 2½ yearsBy CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS | December 29,2012WASHINGTON A measure of Americans who signed contracts to buy homes increased last month to its highest level in two and a half years, the latest sign of improvement in the once-battered housing market.
The National Association of Realtors said Friday that its seasonally adjusted pending home sales index rose 1.7 percent in November from October to 106.4. Thats the highest since April 2010, when a homebuyer tax credit caused a spike in sales. And after excluding those months when the tax credit was available, its the best reading since February 2007.
The increase followed a 5 percent gain in October and suggests higher sales of previously occupied homes in the coming months. Theres generally a one- to two-month lag between a signed contract and a completed sale.
In November, signed contracts to buy homes rose in the Northeast and West, and ticked up slightly in the Midwest. They were unchanged in the South.
Home sales are on track to rise 10 percent this year to their highest level in five years, buoyed by ultra-low mortgage rates and steady job gains. The Realtors group forecasts that sales may rise in 2013 to about 5.1 million. Thats still below the more than 5.5 million that is considered consistent with a healthy market.
The housing recovery that began earlier this year is looking sustainable for a number of reasons. The supply of previously occupied homes for sale has finally thinned out and is at an 11-year low. At the same time, more people are looking to buy or rent a home after living with relatives or friends during and in the aftermath of the Great Recession.
The combination of stronger demand and limited supply is pushing up home prices. That could encourage more sellers to put their homes on the market because they can expect a better price.
Builders are also more optimistic that the recovery will endure and are stepping up construction. The pace of home construction was nearly 22 percent higher in November compared with a year earlier. Builders are on track this year to start work on the most homes in four years.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK The stock market moved lower Friday, snapping four days of gains, as U.S. Full StoryNEW YORK Apparently, airline passengers arent buying enough garden gnomes, superhero pajamas...
