Three Red Sox Players Who Could Go in Trade Deadline Deals
A previous post outlined a "buy and sell" strategy for the Red Sox for the approaching MLB trade deadline.
The strategy goals are to protect whatever chances the Red Sox have to get into the playoff hunt, while also looking to 2013 and beyond by picking up assets that can help Boston long term.
As much as I would like to see them go – don't expect for Josh Beckett or Carl Crawford to be heading out now. Their contracts – and production levels – make them close to untradeable.
The most attractive (to other teams) trade candidates the Red Sox have are players that can add value in the stretch run – and don't lock in the acquiring team with a bad contract.
Boston should explore the trade market to land young major leaguers or good prospects in return. For the players proposed here, I don't see top prospects coming back – but hopefully ones who can be developed and contribute.
Here's a look at three trade candidates:
Cody Ross. As a player on a one-year contract, Boston should explore the trade market for Ross – even though he is having a good season. A proven playoff performer, Ross is exactly the type of player some team may pay big to acquire to put them over the top. San Francisco is a perfect fit for Ross – a place he has a strong playoff track record and a team that demonstrated it will pay to land a player for the stretch run. And Boston should try to get the Dodgers involved too – to generate some bidding competition. Other targets: Atlanta, Baltimore and Pittsburgh.
Kelly Shoppach. Another player on a one-year deal – and the Sox have Ryan Lavarnway looking like he is ready to go at Pawtucket – Shoppach could be dealt. But expect a lower return than what Ross could produce. My favorite target: Washington. Catching is a weak area with Wilson Ramos out for the season – and the Nationals have a strong farm system. Pittsburgh would be another good fit – with Shoppach providing an upgrade over Rod Barajas. And maybe it's time to talk trade again with the Yankees – Shoppach would be a nice 2012 add for New York.
Matt Albers. He has rebounded from last season to pitch well out of the Red Sox bullpen. The Sox have Chris Carpenter and Alex Wilson looking good in Pawtucket as potential replacements. It may be a good time to move Albers. Deep bullpens contribute to pennants – and Albers could help teams like the White Sox, Angels and Texas (if they decide to bolster their bullpen instead of getting a starter).
Other guys who could go: Aaron Cook and Ryan Sweeney. Both could be traded and not be missed. I just don't see the return they would generate as good as what Ross, Shoppach or Albers could produce.
Who do you think the Red Sox should trade? And who do you think they will trade?
What's Going Wrong with the Red Sox
It's not complicated. The Red Sox are second in the AL (fourth in MLB) in runs scored with 138.
And the bullpen has turned things around – as noted in a Tweet by Jeremy Lundblad: first 14 games: 8.44 ERA; last 12 games: 1.31 ERA.
Felix Doubront and Daniel Bard have been okay for number four and five starters.
The Red Sox woes revolve around the top three starters: Jon Lester (one win), Josh Beckett (two wins and complaining about shoulder woes) and Clay Buchholz (three wins but with an eight-plus ERA – great proof point the Red Sox are scoring plenty of runs to win).
As written in this blog previously, the season revolves around the top three starters.
They deliver as expected – and as they are paid – and the Red Sox have a playoff team.
They don't deliver – nothing else matters.
Aaron Cook, Andrew Miller and anyone else in the Red Sox farm system doesn't matter.
Playoff teams need dependable, front-line pitching.
Time to step up, guys.
Potential Red Sox Moves to Consider
Power Arm from Pawtucket
The Red Sox have moved pitching prospect Alex Wilson from the rotation to bullpen down at Pawtucket. Wilson potentially adds another power arm to Boston's 'pen. One that can go multiple innings if needed.
Right now, the Red Sox are exploring their bullpen options and there aren't many others in the minors – with moving Aaron Cook to the bullpen at the top of the list. And the veteran Cook has not relieved since 2003.
Let's hope exploring the trade market is also part of the plan. But expect tough competition in the reliever trade market from the Angels. As noted in a previous post, good targets: Joel Hanrahan, Huston Street and Grant Balfour.
Dodgers Interest in Crawford?
The cheer from Red Sox Nation was deafening when Bill Shaikin posted last night he could see the Dodgers having interest in Carl Crawford – if Boston eats some of his salary.
Follow in the trade tradition of Edgar Renteria and Julio Lugo – sign the check and get the deal done.
Crawford is not a fit for Boston – especially if his high salary restricts the team's ability to sign Jacoby Ellsbury to a long-term deal.
Another team worth exploring – Miami. They have showed a willingness to spend – and they could use a centerfielder and more offense.
Come on Carl, get healthy so Boston can trade you.
Grab Another Outfielder
With both Crawford and Ellsbury out for the long term, the Red Sox need to upgrade the outfield beyond Marlon Byrd and Lars Anderson.
Just like the reliever market, landing a quality outfielder will be difficult – and probably expensive – this early in the season.
Think the Sox should pursue is Alex Presley of the Pirates.
Pittsburgh is going nowhere this year so may open to a deal. Presley is a decent hitter with speed, who can play multiple outfield positiosn.
And Pittsburgh has a top OF prospect – Starling Marte – at AAA, who could replace Presley.
Do you see a better trade option for Boston to upgrade the outfield?
Red Sox Farm System Update
Aaron Cook
All eyes are on Aaron Cook as the clock ticks towards his contract-mandated May 1 decision date on moving Cook up to the majors. The latest word is Boston pitching coach Bob McClure believes Cook can work out of the bullpen. Adding Cook to the bullpen adds depth – but Cook is untested in that role. The last time Cook relieved was 2003. But the move buys the Red Sox some time, keeping Cook in the organization and available for the rotation if a spot opens up. Look for Cook to be in the Sox 'pen sometime next week.
Will Middlebrooks
Will Middlebrooks continues to be a beast – grabbing Prospect Watch Player of the Week from MLB.com and placing as the #1 prospect in this week's Prospect Hot Sheet from Baseball America. Despite a red-hot start, Peter Abraham points out Kevin Youkilis is close to an immovable object right now in Fenway – having earned patience based on past performance and a big contract that other teams probably aren't eager to take on. The Red Sox top issue is pitching not hitting, and that enables Boston to give Youkilis an opportunity to get going. Also, should the Sox want to move Youk, his value is low. The team is better off seeing if Youkilis can produce at the plate to build some trade value. Don't expect a Middlebrooks call-up soon.
Bullpen Rehab
Alex Speier reports Andrew Miller has been looking pretty good in Pawtucket rehab assignments. But 11 walks in 7.3 innings just won't cut it in the big leagues in my view. Look for Miller to be moving on soon. Speier also notes Mark Melancon is pitching pretty well. The issue with Melancon – his numbers are meaningless; they only matter if produced in higher pressure, big league situations. Should Melancon rebuild some value, the Red Sox should send him off to a team like Kansas City or back to Houston. I don't see him back in Boston in any significant role.
Matt Barnes
The Matt Barnes legend grows. Earlier this week, Barnes was in a classic prospect matchup against Orioles farmhand Dylan Bundy – and both pitchers were dominant. Look for Barnes to move up to High A Salem soon.
Assessing the Detroit Disaster
Some thoughts on the opening series:
- Manager Bobby Valentine showed he will tinker – sitting Kevin Youkilis and leading off with Nick Punto in the Sunday lineup – to try to find a "spark." That's a good sign – because the pitching staff needs tinkering.
- As horrible as the bullpen was in Detroit, the performances of Josh Beckett and Clay Buchholz worry me more. Gordon Edes writes a scout told him that Saturday's game was the worst he had ever seen Beckett pitch. Buchholz was terrible today – four innings, seven runs. The Red Sox cannot make the playoffs without the Big Three in the rotation – Jon Lester was a lonely starter bright spot – delivering.
- Daniel Bard's season-opening start now has an even higher profile. Mixed or poor results will increase pressure to move Bard to the closer spot. Even if Bard has a quality start, the push to move him to the bullpen could be intense. And note: Aaron Cook threw a seven inning complete game for Pawtucket in his season debut – so a potential replacement is there.
- Vicente Padilla was stellar today. Given the length of his outing, he can't assume the closer role tomorrow – but look for him to be on the short list when Boston reshuffles the deck.
On to Toronto.
Daniel Bard, Felix Doubront Join Red Sox Rotation
Manager Bobby Valentine told Daniel Bard and Felix Doubront they made the Red Sox starting rotation.
And with the news – Alfredo Aceves headed to the bullpen and Aaron Cook to Pawtucket.
Rob Bradford looked at the Red Sox decision process on their starters.
I like having a second lefty in the rotation and Doubront earned a starting spot this spring.
Bard has got the stuff to be an effective starter but it is to be determined whether he can make the transition from the bullpen.
Working from the wind-up, advancing his change-up and especially cutting down on walks are all still part of Bard's working plan.
I feel bad for Aceves – who did nothing wrong to be bumped to the bullpen. But it's a long season – and Boston is pretty certain to need additional starters as the year goes along. So I expect he will get another shot at starting.
However, for now, manager Bobby Valentine did not rule out Aceves closing while Andrew Bailey mends.
Expect to see Cook in the rotation later too – for now, he gets to build up some innings with a big-league decision on him due about May 1, based on his contract.
And don't count out Daisuke Matsuzaka sometime in June or July.
Figure Boston will go through at least seven or eight starters during the season.
As the Red Sox found out last season, you can never have too many major league starters.
Red Sox Spring Training Update
Fifth Starter. The fifth spot is still open in the rotation with Alfredo Aceves, Felix Doubront and Aaron Cook as the top contenders. Aceves has looked like The Man this spring. But his life-saving role in the bullpen last season is probably causing the Red Sox to pause in committing Aceves to a starting role. Doubront looked good against the Yankees this week – and having two lefties in the rotation has some appeal. And Cook pitched well again today. Cook got a late start to playing in games this spring – due a conservative approach because of past shoulder woes. If I was betting today – and this can change over the next two weeks – I would say: Aceves in the bullpen, Doubront in the rotation – but with a short leash – and Cook in Pawtucket to build up innings and be on call.
Proof Spring Training Stats Mean Nothing. Example A: Shortstop Pedro Ciriaco is batting over .500 and showing a great arm in the field. But there is no talk about Ciriaco as anything but Pawtucket bound. And if Jose Iglesias heads to the PawSox – as expected – Ciriaco most likely won't even be a starter.
Lavarnway Interview. MiLB.com interviewed catcher prospect Ryan Lavarnway on his prep for the big leagues. My favorite question – what would you be doing if you weren't a ballplayer? The answer: structural engineer. How many other ballplayers would say that? Expect Lavarnway to start in Pawtucket but hit Fenway sometime during the season. Or if Jarrod Saltalamacchia steps it up – Lavarnway could become a trading chip.

Hey there!
I apologize if this has been answered before, but, what i've noticed in the stream is for example blue team having 3 bases and purple having 2. Blue team having 3 bases does not lose any "nexus life" while purple will.
Shouldn't all "nexus life" be constantly draining on a % of how many bases owned?
Tristan Trades
No, the nexus only gets drained if you have less Capture points. It doesn't matter if it's 3/2 or 5/0, the amount of drain will stay the same.
Technical Artist
Baaaawh... D: to bad, guess I have to wait a while then ^_^
Emissary of the League
At gamescom, we had a drain of max. 3 at 5/0 that was roughly each second. This does not directly take the additional nexus draining of getting killed/killing someone into account. You lose 1 point/sec at 3/2, 2 points at 4/1 and 3 at 5/0, obviously. This is roughly correct, I assume.

Bruins Ready For A Playoff Run
by PuckStopsHere on 04/07/09 at 02:48 AM ET
Comments (0)
One of the surprises this season has been the success of the Boston Bruins. Last season they finished eighth in the East Conference taking the last playoff spot. Most predictions had them finishing in the same territory this season.
Very early in the season in became clear that they would exceed expectation. Tim Thomas is having a Vezina quality season in goal. That was unexpected. While Zdeno Chara was expected to have a good season on defence, the development of Dennis Wideman was not expected. At forward, Marc Savard has continued to become a well-rounded player (his defence is much improved) and young players like David Krejci, Phil Kessel,, Blake Wheeler and Milan Lucic all took big steps forward. Boston has a talented (mostly) young core that took a huge step forward this season. It places them first overall in the East Conference and the favorite to win the East Conference in the playoffs.

MVP Race Again
by PuckStopsHere on 04/06/09 at 02:30 AM ET
Comments (0)
When I last talked about the MVP race I supported Evgeni Malkin over Alexander Ovechkin. I did this in part because Malkin has a significant lead in the points race. He doesn't anymore. Malkin's lead has shrunk to two points. Ovechkin has a huge lead in goals and it would take a minor miracle for him to not win the Rocket Richard Trophy. Since goals are a more significant measure of offensive status of a player than assists, I support Alexander Ovechkin as the current Hart Trophy leader.
There are a few other fringe candidates that might obtain support in some circles including Zach Parise, Pavel Datsyuk, Steve Mason, Sidney Crosby and Tim Thomas but none are likely to seriously impact the Hart Trophy race. It is between Ovechkin and Malkin and Ovechkin has recently pulled into the lead.

One question I decided to look at is the importance of being a tough team to winning hockey games. As a marker for toughness we will take the team's total penalty minutes per game and plot it against their points so far this season.

Travel Point Losses For Western Teams
by PuckStopsHere on 04/04/09 at 05:15 AM ET
Comments (0)
While looking at the relative divisional strengths this season, I mentioned that the Central Division is helped by travel. While West Conference teams lead the league in distance travelled in a season, they are the further west teams in the conference. This allows the Central Division teams to play a lot of games against travel tired teams. This is something that has been well-established in some work by Tom Benjamin that was done in the 1990s. Most of it is no longer available on the internet. Some readers here (particularly Hockey in HD) had not seen this work and were skeptical.
I cannot re-create all of this work in a short period of time. In order to show how travel does affect the westernmost teams and get a rough estimate of how many points it costs them in a season, I did some work. There is a lot more evidence that can be presented, but it will probably have to wait until the off-season.

Tampa's 4th Round Pick
by PuckStopsHere on 04/03/09 at 02:53 AM ET
Comments (0)
There are two CBA related controversies which the NHL has merged into one that are creating some odd precedents for the league. Both involve the Tampa Bay Lightning's fourth round pick in 2009. Last summer, the Toronto Maple Leafs signed Jonas Frogren. Frogren's signing created a bit of a CBA mess. The CBA problems a bit complex, but the biggest thing that bothered the NHL is that Frogren was paying a buyout to his previous Swedish team (Farjestads BK Karlstad) with an increased first year salary. The NHL had forbidden teams to negotiate transfers of players individually (it would drive up transfer costs). Technically, the Leafs did not negotiate Frogren's transfer. Jonas Frogren did it himself. The Leafs paid him enough money to do it himself. It was a creative solution to a problem that probably should not have existed in the first place.

Relative Divisional Strength
by PuckStopsHere on 04/02/09 at 03:09 AM ET
Comments (0)
It is quite well known among hockey fans that the West Conference is better than the East Conference. It is easy to look at the inter-conference record and conclude that. The West Conference holds a 159-129 winning record (with 26 of the losses scored as regulation draws).
The next step is to look at the individual divisions. If we add up the total points earned by the five teams in each division we get the following standings:
Central 455
Northeast 432
Atlantic 430
Pacific 419
Southeast 416
Northwest 411

Hall Of Fame To Look Harder At Women
by PuckStopsHere on 04/01/09 at 03:06 AM ET
Comments (0)
I have often suggested that the Hockey Hall of Fame should induct some women, but at the same time never been able to suggest one for this year's class. There are always a few ex-NHL players who seem to need induction now, thus making the women wait. The Hall of Fame is addressing this issue. Starting in 2010, they will consider male and female candidates separately and induct up to two female hockey players per year in addition to the up to four male ones.
This is a good move to get some of the phenomenal female hockey players who have been dominant players and pioneers in their game into the Hall. I look forward to seeing Cammi Granato, Cassie Campbell, Manon Rheaume, Angela James, Hayley Wickenheiser, Danielle Goyette and others getting their inductions in the years to come.

Montreal's Heir Apparent In Goal
by PuckStopsHere on 03/31/09 at 02:52 AM ET
Comments (0)
The Montreal Canadiens have been very lucky to have some very good goaltending over the years. Two times a rookie goalie has taken over the team and led them to the Stanley Cup and won a Conn Smythe Trophy. Ken Dryden did it in 1971 and Patrick Roy in 1986. Those are unique cases made possible in part by the fact those goalies are both among the ten best goalies ever.
When Carey Price joined the Habs as a very talented young goalie, there was some pressure for history to repeat itself. This pressure mounted as Montreal traded away previous number one goalie Cristobal Huet to the Washington Capitals, thus leaving Price the number one job in goal. Some expected that Carey Price would now lead Montreal to the Stanley Cup and win the Conn Smythe in his rookie season. Those are very heavy expectations for anyone.

The Blues Are Back?
by PuckStopsHere on 03/30/09 at 03:39 AM ET
Comments (0)
One story that has been recently mentioned by James Mirtle and Tom Benjamin is that the St Louis Blues have been playing well lately. Despite a poor start that left them in last place in the West Conference at the end of 2008, with a 14-23 record (3 losses counted as regulation ties), the Blues are back in the playoff race. They are currently in eighth place in the West Conference with 83 points. They would hold a playoff berth by their one point lead over ninth place Anaheim.
A lot of the credit for their success goes to coach Andy Murray. He has done a great job with a young bunch of players who suffered through a lot of injuries this season.

March's Surprise Scorer
by PuckStopsHere on 03/29/09 at 07:37 AM ET
Comments (0)
Can anyone guess who the top goal scorer in the month of March is so far this year? Rarely does a more improbable player lead the league in goal scoring for a month.
The answer is Alexandre Burrows of the Vancouver Canucks. He has ten goals so far in March. Burrows has settled in as the Sedins' right winger and is doing a very good job. He is an unsung hero in Vancouver.
He has just signed an $8 million four year contract extension. This will keep him a Canuck and likely keep him at far below his open market salary.

BOSTON (AP) — Gov. Deval Patrick has unveiled a $100 million proposal he says will spur economic growth by improving job opportunities, expanding the state's international marketing efforts and ending barriers to high-tech workers who want to change jobs.
Massachusetts governor unveils development plan
Patrick's plan released Thursday would eliminate so-called non-compete agreements designed to discourage workers in high-tech companies from quitting and taking their skills to a competitor.
Patrick said the agreements stifle competition. He said tougher protections for trade secrets is a better solution.
Patrick's plan would also step up investments in the state's older, financially strapped municipalities known as Gateway Cities.
Patrick wants to promote market-rate housing in the cities, speed the cleanup of old manufacturing properties for reuse, and give cities and towns greater control over the number of liquor licenses in their communities by ending existing statutory limits.
Patrick defended the push to eliminate non-compete agreements, despite what he characterized as "some resistance to it in the tech community."
He said the best way to ease that resistance is to bulk up the state's existing protections against the sharing of intellectual property.
"In California, another tech hub, they don't have non-competes and they're doing pretty well," Patrick said during his monthly radio show on WGBH-FM. "We want to enable that same free flow of talent in an innovation hub here in Massachusetts which is booming and it ought to have as few restraints on it as possible."
Chris Anderson, president of the Massachusetts High Tech Council, said employers who spend money training and educating employees have legitimate concerns if an employee opts to work for a competitor.
"The appropriate place to address concerns of the large employers is to strengthen trade secrets protections," he said.

The protective females instinctively leaped into action to fend off the aggressive crocodile after it had attempted to pick off the youngster.
During the violent encounter the crocodile managed to bite one of the big cats on the face, but was soon killed by the pride.
Move over skateboarding/surfing dogs, there is a new talent on the internet who's enthusiasm makes all other action sports dogs look like mutts and strays.
Filmed in Park city, Utah, at trailside bike park, Lily the dog powers through all the sections of this bike track, even clearing doubles and keeping up with the rider! Filmed from all sorts of epic angles, this video captures Lily as she shreds anything in her path.

Chameleons are a distinctive and highly specialized clade of lizards. They are distinguished by their parrot-like feet, their separately mobile and stereoscopic eyes, their very long, highly modified, and rapidly extrudable tongues and of course, the ability of some to change color.
Igor Siwanowicz is an exceptional photographer who captures beautiful photos of reptiles and amphibians. Unlike any other insect photographer, Igor manages to capture human like qualities in the smallest creatures.

I hope reincarnation is real, because I've decided what I want to be in my next life. We all know the internet loves cat videos, but things just got super-sized with this huge black panther throwing down some of the biggest jumps you will ever seen.
The cat leaps up his enclosure fence chasing his toy only to end up a full human's height above his trainer.

A man jumped into a spider monkey enclosure at a Brazilian zoo in an attempt to befriend them. He said he wanted to play with the primates at the Sorocaba Zoo near Sao Paulo on Sunday.
The monkeys understandably didn't want him to be there and attacked him, leaving him bleeding. He admitted to being drunk when he jumped into the water.
He was later treated for bites to his hand and arms. Warning: This video does contain some blood.

Only the best for these rad little creatures. The question is…did they ingest THC and get high, or did their rapid metabolism prevent them from feeling any affects?

A woman floating on a surfboard near Santa Cruz, California almost ended up on the lunch menu for a humpback whale over the weekend. Luckily, Barb Roettger had her camera rolling as two whales burst from the water meters from a surfer and a pair of kayakers.
The whales have been hanging around Santa Cruz, feeding on schools of anchovies, and there has been there reports of close encounters with the whales in the last few months.

Animal photography is probably the hardest, and sometimes the most dangerous type of photography you can get.
The outcome totally depends on the skills of photographer and the time when the shot is taken.
A photographer who uses good exposure, color and blur settings along with appropriate shutter speed and focusing techniques can produce stunning photographs.
Animal photographers have to be prepared and be ready for the unknown. They need to study action and language of animals to know every move.
Many animal photographers use camouflage in order to hide themselves so the animals act naturally in their habitat.
When shooting in wildness, photographers usually shoot with long telephoto lenses from a distance.
After the jump you will find a massive gallery of beautiful examples of animal photography, photos of wild, tamed and other weird and wonderful creatures…
A 16-foot-long Burmese python was found to have a whole adult deer in its stomach after it was captured and killed in a U.S. national park. The reptile – one of the biggest ever found in South Florida – had recently swallowed a doe the size of a human.
Skip Snow, a python specialist who conducted the autopsy at Everglades National Park, said the animal had a girth of 44ins with the deer inside its stomach. 'This is clearly an extreme event,' he told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. 'It shows you they can eat huge things.'
Real life Indiana Jones, Niall McCann, realises a life's ambition by catching a giant anaconda. The adventurer, who has rowed the Atlantic and trekked across Greenland's Polar Ice Cap, pounced on the jungle giant, which weighed around 100kg and had a girth of 27ins.
The 29-year-old biologist from Cardiff was exploring the tropical rainforests of Guyana when he happened across the monster reptile on a bank of the Rewa River.
I was trying to hold its head to the ground and it kept trying to turn its head to bite me – it was wrestle. Its strength was amazing and when a ripple went through its body it shook all of us."

Electric Grinder
Many people use spice grinders for coffee, but they produce an uneven result. It's better to invest in a burr grinder, which crushes the beans between two surfaces and makes it possible to select a precise grind size, from coarse to fine. Phillips likes the Baratza Virtuoso for an entry-level model. $229 at seattlecoffeegear.com.

Davey Johnson is a sentient human being with at least a vague grasp of Major League Baseball, and therefore he is well aware of the debate raging around the decision to shut down Stephen Strasburg this season. Not all in and around the Nationals' organization would agree with him, but Johnson understands the hoopla, and even seems to kind of support the hoopla.
"It's kind of an interesting conversation," Johnson said. "It's been going on since before spring training, because of what Jordan Zimmermann went through – he went through the same thing last year. Of course, we were flying around third place or something. But there's already been a precedent set for what we're going to do. But it's fun for people to talk about it and second-guess. It's different. But it's not distracting."
Strasburg will pitch today. As we've said before, it is nice to just appreciate his pitching for a few hours rather than bandying around the same topic.

Antec Notebook Cooler 200 - Specifications, Availability and PricingReminiscent in design to the Skeleton series of cases, Antec mounts a 200mm Big Boy fan in a sturdy open frame and offers the Notebook Cooler 200.
Specifications, Availability and Pricing
The Notebook Cooler 200 is made mostly from a very strong, black plastic construction. With open designing and a textured finish, the 16.75" X 12" notebook cooler can hold anything up to 17" notebooks. The four corners of the top have plastic inserts. These hold the feet in place, but also have a mirrored finish on top and it is see-through on the sides. These inserts surround the two-speed Antec Big Boy, blue LED, 200mm fan that is surrounded in steel, honeycomb mesh. Once powered with a USB connection, you will have a choice of High and Low fan speeds, and also have the option to turn on or off the blue LEDs.
The Big Boy offers up some pretty impressive numbers. Boasting over 115 CFM on high with a noise level of 27 dBA is impressive. Keeping the fan speeds low, 800-950 RPM maxed out, and the size of the fan makes it easier to keep the noise level down, and can spread the air flow over a greater area under the notebook you use. Keep in mind, with this design the Notebook Cooler 200 isn't exactly for use on your lap, and if it was it is uncomfortable to use that way. This product is best suited sitting on a table, improving posture while gaming, and cooling that compact space inside the laptop.
Google turned up many, many hits for this cooling accessory, so if this product looks appealing, you can go right out and get your own right now. Going over to where I have donated many of my hard earned dollars, The Antec Notebook Cooler 200 is listed at Newegg.com for $59.99. That pricing is $10 off the original price point of $69.99, but Newegg is also asking $10 for some sort of restricted shipping, bringing the price back up and just over the $70 mark. Keeping in mind, the Designer was in the $20 range, and was limited in what it could accomplish. I hope for the $50 increase in pricing, I see more than just flash and bling, and we get some good results from our testing.

Ochna integerrima
Does anyone grow Ochna integerrima (Mickey Mouse plant)? I started a few from seed last summer and they are sooooo slow growing. My biggest one is only about 6" tall with 8 leaves. I just got them outside and transplanted them into 6" pots. Do they like lots of growing room or should I allow them to become somewhat rootbound (if they ever grow!). Am I doing something wrong or is this a slow growing plant? How long will I be waiting for them to reach blooming size? I have to winter it over inside under lights so I'm sure that doesn't help. The person I got the seeds from speaks very little English and I don't speak Vietnamese so I can't ask him for growing instructions. I can usually find out care instructions online for most of the plants he gives me but I haven't found much on this shrub.
In habitat it will be accustomed to long hot steamy summers and drier briefly colder winters. I don't think this species does well even here in southern California, but is probably grown in south Florida. As quite large plants are often grown in large pots in Vietnam, I don't think this resents being pot bound at all. I would just give it your hottest spot and feed regularly, and it ought to like your summer weather back in Maryland?
The South African version, Ochna serrulata is the more commonly grown species here in northern California, where it is also somewhat fickly about growing conditions, and shy to bloom except when happy. I have gotten this one to bloom here, but it is not a fast grower.
Karyn, You are lucky to get the seed geminated.
What I remember back from Vietnam is that Ochna integerrima grows VERY, VERY slow, especially during those first 3 years. It is a tree not shrub, could reach more than 12 feet as I have seen. It may flower after about 5 years, about 3-4 feet at that time in its native land when the trunk is about 1/2-3/4" size. Sandy soil, filtered sun, warm and high air humid are required.
There are two major verieties in VN: Ochna integerrima- "mai van" (yellow "mai") or "mai Tet" which only flower around Vietnamese new year, and Ochna kirkii- "mai do" (red "mai") ,"Mai Tu-quy" or 4-season "mai" since they flower yearround.
Could you ask if the guy (or yourself) willing to share some of the seedlings, or future seeds (must be fresh - or they won't germinate). I am willing to do something to compensate for the kindness.
Growing this species from seed is all about timing as noted by the other post. The seeds must be planted within days after it ripens and readily falls of the flower. Beyond that time period, it is no longer viable. I have a tree here and saplings sprout up like crazy as the seeds drop from the flower. I've tried saving the seeds which never grow when brought out much later.
Yes, the plant does grow very slowly. Mine is flowering now but my first one also took 8 years due to lack of experience!! It will flower in about 3 years with care. The other trick is that it will bloom ONLY if you pluck off all the leaves. Don't worry new ones will come out immediately right after the bursts of flowers. If you take note, many of the flowering trees have very little leaves due to pruning to get it started. They do this during 'Tet' in Vietnam.
I had raised hoa Mai(Mai vang of VietNam) in Cali for over 8 years now. With so many loss(plant die) due to the weather here in Cali.
I finally get success, the important thing is how to get it root from bare root when import to USA. Ochna integerrima tree do not like to be with out soil in short period of time. It will take some where 5 to 10 days for it to get here in US. (with out soil and water.)
It is verry dificult to plant by seeding, because you have to import seed from Vietnam,with many hassle paper work and permit.
I spend so much time and money comsumming to raise Ochna integerrima tree.
Thank God and with help from APHIS, I am now confident to raise them in California NOW.Ofcourse it is difficult but we can do it with many tricks (hard, costly learned lesson)
I have more than 40 of them Alive and heathy, last year I have little flower, but next year 2013 It will bloom like it is in Vietnam.
You can contact me at: firstname.lastname@example.com
PH 5.7 to 6.3
Temp 68 to 85
In Cali you need to bring plant inside the house in the Winter time and stay away from heater fant and less water.
Hi chimoanh,
Congratulations for successfully raising Hoa Mai Vietnam in Cali! I would like to know how we can import the bare root Hoa Mai tree from Vietnam. Could you please give me some hints?
Also do you know if there is someone or nursery in Cali selling Hoa Mai trees from Vietnam?
I saw this site from Florida, outrageous prices though.
I'm surprised that you are having difficulty finding the Ochna in your local nurseries. It's gotten fairly common in this area over the past couple years and is also easily found from several online vendors and Ebay. No need to import it from overseas.
I am very happy to report that my 3 years old Ochna Thomasiana (syn. O. Kirkii) is flowering this year. I was able to obtain seeds from Vietnam. From the seeds I planted, three germinated but only one survived. This plant has been kept in a greenhouse all its life. It will not survive the cold nights in Southern California. I will get seeds from this plant and will propagate more. I enjoy exchanging seeds/plants. Let me know.

How do 3D animated characters look so smooth? Pixar researcher Tony DeRose explains – with mathematics
Mike Seymour gets deep into the Visual effects of Christopher Nolan's Interstellar including the creation of the black hole, giant tidal waves, and how to cinematically depict the four dimensional cube that is the Tesseract.
Artists are often asked to produce images of things never seen before, and often times asked to make them look real when no one is quite sure how they would actually exist. In Christopher Nolan's Interstellar, visual effects supervisor Paul Franklin and the team at Double Negative were asked to produce images of things that aren't even in our dimension, and furthermore have them accurate to not only quantum physics and relativistic laws but also our best understanding (guess) of quantum gravity.
Luckily, amongst the key team at Dneg was chief scientist Oliver James. James has a collage degree in optics and atomic physics and a personal understanding of Einstein's relativity laws. He worked, as did Franklin with the film's executive producer and scientific advisor Kip Thorne. Thorne would work out complex equations in Mathematica and send them James to recode into IMAX quality renderings. To meet the needs of the film and to solve the visual problems involved, James had to not only visualize equations describing the arcing and bending trajectory of light but also equations that ended up describing how a cross section of a beam of light changes its size and shape during its journey past the black hole.
Even then James' code was only part of the solution – he worked hand in hand with the artistic team lead by CG supervisor Eugenie von Tunzelmann which would add say an accretion disc and create the background galaxy and all its stars and nebulae, that get warped as their light rays are bent past a black hole. But as complex as it is to for the first time show a black hole scientifically correctly in a film, the team also had to show someone entering a four-dimensional tesseract, which also extrudes or shadows into the three dimensions of a little girl's bedroom – all in a way an audience could follow.

I wanted to do something different from what has been done before with those shots. Something more dynamic and fast. After all, ISS travel through space at 28.000km/h! There are also more recent footage that have never been used (at least I think…) in other edits.
All the credit goes to the crew members of ISS expeditions 28, 29, 30, 31, 34, shot from 2011 to 2014.
The international Space Station weigh 377 tons, orbits the earth at around 350km from the surface, and does one spin around the earth in 1h30, at 28.000k/h! At 1'11 we can see a little refueling shuttle desintegrating back to earth. At 1'20, it's a little telecom satellitte (Cygnus) that is launched into orbit. The little green and purple lights you can see at 1'57 are respectively fishing boats and oil platforms offshore with the big city of Bangkok nearby.
All the footage (around 80GB of pictures) was processed throught after effects/premiere, denoised for some shots, removal of dead pixels for some shots, deflickering, and simple color grading (didnt want to change the already incredible look! just curves, saturation, and some blue crushing). Don't hesitate to comment and ask questions about the video!

Cybel Martin offers 5 tips for the director of photography who is shooting a director who is also the lead actor.
1. Create a Visual Shorthand – if you've been following my articles, you know how much I love pre-production and pouring over reference material with my directors. This is even more important if your director will spend the majority of production in front of the camera. During prep, Nana gave me over 10 films to watch or rewatch that emulated the style/tone she was going for. I countered with more film references and photographs that I thought would support her script and aesthetic. Once on set, if Nana said "like the Big Lebowski shot" or "what we liked in Darjeeling [Express]", I knew what to do next.
Aside: when it comes to reference material, my director and I will often formulate the look of a film based on established works of art. The colors of this painting. Mixed with the camera movement of that film. But with the lens choices of this photographer. But maybe you, the Director or the Production Designer would rather create original works of art to serve as a visual reference. See Akira Kurosawa's amazing storyboards for "Ran". Or read about Production Designer, Dante Ferretti's work on "Gangs of New York" and his recent awe-inspiring show at MOMA, "Dante Ferretti: Designing for the Big Screen".
2. Rules of Your Visual Language. Once you and the Director have narrowed down your reference material, your likes and dislikes, the "rules" will be self-evident. I won't give away all of our secrets yet, but each of the films Nana liked treated camera movement in a similar way and approached color in a similar fashion. In prep, you and your Director should come up with a list of rules for your film. For instance: only use the color purple to signify death or an eyelight to foreshadow "not guilty" (a personal favorite from the genius film "12 Angry Men").
If you lose a location, lose a few hours and need to reimagine a scene on the spot, this list of agreed upon rules will cut short discussion on what needs to be done next. This predetermined set of rules is also a safeguard preventing the final film from emulating your, the DP's, taste over the director. See my previous article on how those same rules will be supportive in post production.

Wolfcrow goes over the fundamental differences between the color correction applications that are available in your NLE or for relatively little money.
Choosing a color correction software is not easy if you're a beginner. In its simplest form, the question runs like this: "Which color correction or grading software will give me the best quality for the lowest price?".
Turns out, even the built-in tools of most NLEs are good enough to create world-class grades, as I've explained earlier. What a beginner needs to understand is that the important color correction algorithms are mostly "sorted out", and only vary in its details. The more relevant question is: Which software will fit into my workflow so I can get the most done in the least amount of time and expenditure.

Stupid question
Posted by Anonymous, 4 RepliesSorry, stupid question I know, but if anything at least you'll get a chuckle out of it. Does anyone know if Dr's suggest testing for something like fingering a woman? Or is that way too negligible to even worry about? Thanks for your help! Read more »

U.S. fugitives in Cuba wary of closer ties that could lead to deportation
Times could be uncertain for the more than 70 American fugitives hiding out in Cuba. Some have enjoyed lives as celebrity revolutionaries in the tropics. Many paraded around town, telling war stories and being hailed as heroes who stood up to "the Empire." But their fate is unclear after a change in administrations on both sides of the Florida Straits.

4 Methods for Choosing Awesome Web Hosting
With cheap web hosting, you really only get to use approximately 30% of the resources, and the bigger your site, the slower your load time.
The 4 Methods for Choosing Awesome Web Hosting
Questions before choosing the offer to host your website
Before choosing a web hosting in Pakistan or worldwide, it's important to define your needs. Do you need short term or long term hosting. Your needs should always dictate your choice. If you are not fully vested in your website, and you really just want to have fun blogging, you can choose a cheap hosting package. However, if you're creating a website for your company to showcase products and services, you'll need to make sure the host can accommodate your requirements.
Technical Features / Options
Once you have determined the features you need, you can begin to consider the technical characteristics the web host offers. If, for example, you will provide video, you will need plenty of space. Personally, you should be vigilant about the features.
* The operating system and web server: This choice is seemingly unimportant but for a novice, this could turn into a puzzle later on. Some companies give you a coin-toss when choosing a web server, yet many realize too late that choosing a Windows server leaves you with very little support and the documentation is scarce, as opposed to that of an Apache server. In addition, the Linux / Apache server is more stable, and is often used for web hosting.
* User Interface: Does your hosting company provide you with an easy administration interface? Most web host offer a cPanel or Plesk interface which makes it easier to manage your website. For example, this interface makes it easy to install and configure WordPress, in a few clicks, and access and manipulate files quickly.
* Price: The cost of web hosting should really be your last concern, yet for many, it's often the first. You can get awesome web hosting for under $10.00 a month; you can also get awesome web hosting for a business or merchant account but what really matters is the elements of #1 and #2. What features are offered is the most important element.
* Migration to another web host: Finally, an important thing to consider about choosing a hosting provider is whether you can easily migrate to another, more appealing offer. If your site experiences problems, or you find yourself unsatisfied with your hosts, will they simply allow you to pack up and move to an improved awesome hosting provider? Read the fine print or you may be stuck with inferior service.
It is essential to not just choose web hosting based on the current deal or latest hype, but select awesome web hosting that meets your needs now and long-term.

Very nice guitar, mid priced electro acoustic with a lovely sound when plugged in or not. What a great neck with a lovely solid wood top that brings a rich but bright sound out of this fantastic, looking and sounding instrument I would highly would recommend it to anyone looking for a solid workhorse of a guitar.
Great guitar

Would recommend this to anyone looking for a mid-priced electro-acoustic. Sounds great when plugged into an amp as well as when not. The high quality wood produces a bright sound much richer than any of its competitors. The mahogany neck feels amazing, best guitar I've ever bought.

This villa is situated near the centre of Meta. There are rail connections to Pompeii and the other historical sites on the Neopolitan riviera and it is easy to get to Sorrento as well with the Amalfi coast possible from there using the blue buses from Sorrento bus station.
The villa was clean and the room we had was comfortable with excellent air- conditioning and a terrace/balcony overlooking the garden.Late September we had the place to ourselves for most of the time and made good use of the pool. The beach in Meta is also close at hand.The wireless internet worked very efficiently from the downstairs reception area
Stefania was a very attentive and helpful host and was even able to phone up the local dentist to get me some emergency treatment!
One tip- the front gate of the villa opens out onto a busy road and you need to take care when exiting. For this reason we tended to use the back gate the key to which is also there on the keys Stefania gives you on arrival

she actually wasn't that bad in this. in scenes where she has to be vulnerable (crying/acting worried about her husband, etc) she's actually VERY good but then in other scenes where the character is supposed to be more casual/relaxed she comes off as stiff or uncomfortable. weird.
the movie isn't god awful but it's not great by any means either. i DO like Gina which probably helped me not dislike the movie. lol.

Gina Carano turned actress? Someone should let her know.

Column: Standing up for clean air rules
WASHINGTON — Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy sounded like the sort of unflinching liberal that progressives had hoped Barack Obama would be.
Not only did McCarthy roll out a broad new rule Monday that would cut carbon dioxide emissions by 30 percent at existing power plants over 16 years, but she did so while ridiculing those on the other side.

Smith thrilled at deal
US Eagles lock commits to Saracens
By Tony Curtis - Twitter: @SkySportsTC. Last Updated: 24/05/11 9:11am
Smith: Thrilled to have signed a new deal
Hayden Smith has joined fellow international Chris Wyles and rising star Jackson Wray in signing a new deal at Saracens.
Smith, who has been capped by the US Eagles, has played a key role in helping Sarries to back-to-back Premiership finals.
And the 26-year-old lock, who initially joined the club in 2008 on an academy deal, is delighted to be staying at Vicarage Road.
Smith said: "I am very happy to have signed a new contract with the club, and the words of former New York Yankees manager Joe Torre spring to mind. 'It's like winning an Academy Award,' he said. 'They can't ever take it away from you. You've done something to warrant being something special'."
Smith is the latest player to commit to Saracens - with Wyles and Wray also signing, while the club are set to announce a further seven new contracts on Tuesday.

Objective To assess the effectiveness of systemic treatment with methotrexate in combination with local injection for unruptured tubal pregnancy, and to evaluate reproductive function following treatment.
Design Prospective, open clinical study.
Setting University clinic.
Population Sixty-seven women with unruptured tubal pregnancy.
Methods Systemic methotrexate (intramuscular methotrexate 0.5 mg/kg for up to five days) in combination with local application of 12.5 mg methotrexate via laparoscopy.
Main outcome measures The subsequent surgical intervention required and future fertility.
Results In 89.6% of women no further surgical intervention was required and 47 women (81%) experienced subsequently an intrauterine pregnancy. In 39 of 40 women who underwent hysterosalpingo-graphy following treatment, patency of the affected tube was observed.
Conclusions Combined local and systemic methotrexate treatment for unruptured tubal pregnancy seems to be more effective than each therapeutic modality alone.

We left our hotel in Kihei around 2:30 am to drive up. We got there plenty early enough, so we took a nap in the car before heading up to the lookout point. We both brought warm clothing (heavy winter coats, long pants, gloved, etc. and we were still freezing. I definitely suggest taking a spare blanket from the hotel. I can't even put into words how magnificent this experience was - our pictures don't even do it justice. Definitely a must-do!
