First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

What is Fair Trade?
Fair Trade is a system of trade that focuses on transparency, respect and equality. We support fair trade because we believe it is important to consider the lives and livelihood of the people who make the things we buy. Fair Trade ensures a fair, living wage, a healthy, safe and non-discriminatory work environment, and a commitment to building long-term partnerships that dignify an artisan's work.Fair Trade Resources

OTTAWA – The federal government wants to triple the cost of citizenship, make it harder to become a Canadian citizen, toughen penalties for fraud, and regulate the citizenship consultant profession, in a move that's drawing mixed reviews.
Dubbed the "first comprehensive reforms to the Citizenship Act in a generation," Bill C-24 – the Strengthening Canadian Citizenship Act – was tabled Thursday in the House of Commons. It seeks to strengthen the value of citizenship, while reducing red tape and eliminating backlogs.
"We are confident that these changes reflect what Canadians want and expect: a system that emphasizes how great a privilege Canadian citizenship is, while protecting it from abuse," Immigration Minister Chris Alexander said as he unveiled details of the bill at Toronto's Old Fort York.
"Citizenship is not a right, it's a privilege."
Under the new rules, newcomers must reside in Canada for four out of six years, and at least 183 days each year, to be eligible to apply for citizenship. They must also show proof that they've filed income taxes during that period. Public servants will be required to do the math to make sure, thus streamlining the process by freeing up citizenship judges to administer the oath.
In rare cases, however, judges will be asked to intervene to determine residency if someone believes they have a good reason for not meeting the requirement that they be physically present.
The current threshold is three years out of four; however, residency is not currently defined as physical presence, nor are there any tax requirements.
In an effort to level the playing field, international students and temporary foreign workers will also no longer be able to count time spent in Canada before becoming permanent residents towards the residency requirement for citizenship.
The bill will also open the door to so-called "lost Canadians": the children of "war brides" and Canadian servicemen born out-of-wedlock before 1947 when Canada had no citizenship laws of its own.
Don Chapman, a long-time advocate for those fighting for citizenship, said the changes will likely help people such as Jackie Scott, a B.C. woman whose high-profile case is now before the courts.
The bill will also incorporate details of a private member's bill that would fast-track citizenship for those who serve in the Canadian military – and strip it from dual nationals, including those born in Canada, who engage in armed conflict against Canada.
In an effort to crack down on those who seek citizenship for the sole purpose of obtaining a passport, newcomers will also have to sign an undertaking that they will reside in Canada, at least until they take the oath, when, like all Canadians, they'll have the right to mobility and thus can't be prevented from leaving the country for extended periods of time.
"We want new citizens to embrace our rich culture and values and feel compelled to remain active members of Canadian society," Alexander said.
"Requiring physical presence … better supports the integration of newcomers into Canadian society, it enables prospective citizens to develop a stronger connection to Canada, it encourages their sense of belonging here and it fosters their full participation in Canadian life."
The bill does not address the contentious issue of whether citizenship by birth should be automatic, particularly in relation to pregnant tourists who come to Canada to "gift" citizenship upon their babies. Alexander said the government is still studying this and may crack down on it in the future.
The citizenship changes are expected to drastically reduce backlogs, which are currently around 320,000, and shrink wait times, which can now be as long as 36 months. The government expects to reduce the backlog by 80 per cent and wait times to less than a year by 2015-2016.
If and when the bill passes, the new streamlining rules will apply retroactively to those in the application backlog but they will not be subject to the new residency requirements, Alexander said.
Sharry Aiken, an immigration law professor at Queen's University in Kingston, Ont., expressed a "mixed" reaction.
She "applauds" efforts to resolve the lost Canadian issue and argues that "clarifying and simplifying" the residency rules is a "step in the right direction." Her "biggest concern," however, is the decision to concentrate the power to revoke citizenship in the hands of the minister.
Toronto-based immigration lawyer Sergio Karas calls the link between citizenship eligibility, physical presence and paying and filing taxes a "sea change in the way we view citizenship."
That said, he expects the link could hamper streamlining efforts, should people contest the new tax requirement.
He's also concerned the new physical-presence requirements may put international business people, the sort of economic immigrants Canada is trying to attract, at a disadvantage.
"They will always be a little short on the physical presence requirement and have to content themselves with being permanent residents of Canada or to limit their travel, and that's a tough choice for a lot of people," he said.
The Canadian Council for Refugees, meanwhile, expressed concern Thursday with the government's new powers to strip dual citizens of citizenship in certain cases involving criminality.
"It is wrong to use citizenship rules to punish people for wrongdoing; that's the role of the criminal system," president Loly Rico said.
"Treating dual citizens differently is discriminatory and violates the fundamental principle that all citizens are equal."
NDP immigration critic Lysane Blanchette-Lamothe also raised concerns about the concentration of power in the hands of the minister and the revocation of citizenship for acts of war and suggested the "devil is in the details."
She's hopeful the reforms will indeed lead to faster processing but remains skeptical.
"I don't trust the Conservatives to get this right," she said. "Their immigration reform record is so bad and when we see more discretionary power in the hands of the minister, that is even more scary to me."
Noting that would-be citizens are now being asked to pay three times the price for citizenship while waiting twice as long, Liberal critic John McCallum said the fee hike remains his biggest beef.
Here are some highlights from the citizenship bill:
–It would allow the government to deny citizenship to those charged or convicted of serious crimes outside Canada. The current act only covers crimes committed in Canada. Those deemed a security threat could also be denied under the new rules.
–The penalty for citizenship fraud will increase to $100,000 and up to five years in prison, from the current $1,000 and one year in prison. The government is also streamlining the revocation process for fraudsters, allowing the minister alone to make the decision to strip citizenship. It's currently a three-step process that has hampered efforts to crack down on fraud. Negative decisions, however, could still face appeal to the highest court.
–The minister is also giving himself the power to grant citizenship to those otherwise ineligible on compassionate or meritorious grounds, a power that currently resides with cabinet.
–Under the bill, those 14 to 65 years of age will have to take a knowledge test and show proof of language ability. The rules currently only apply to those 18 to 54.
–The offspring of Canadian military personnel and public servants who were born abroad will now get to pass citizenship on to their children, even if the children are adopted abroad.
–The cost for adults applying for citizenship was also immediately increased to $300 from $100 in a bid to recover more of the processing costs, though it's still well below the price in countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom and New Zealand.
–The government also wants the authority to create a new regulatory body for citizenship consultants, similar to the one used to curb crooked immigration consultants back in 2011. Unauthorized service providers could face fines of $100,000 and up to two years in prison. Counselling somebody to commit citizenship fraud will also carry hefty penalties under the new act.

Dog wee-wee smell on my lawn????
dis2cruiseJuly 16, 2002
hi I hope you can help me....My dog is old and has problems walking. Soooo, she piddles in only one spot all the time. Right next to our patio, so you could amagine the smell. What can I spay on the lawn to get rid of this concentrated smell. My dh said maybe vinagar with water?/
Any help would be appreciated.
Well, bleach will kill the smell. But chlorine bleach will also kill your grass and it's got the problem of being a pollutant. It's not Earth-friendly. I'd like to suggest that you try one of the enzyme solutions sold at PetCo or Pet Smart type stores. They do get rid of the smell and they won't hurt the grass or the rest of us.

Très bon séjour, 10 jours pendant les vacances de Noël.
Le logement est spacieux et confortable, adapté à un long séjour de trois à quatre personnes. Très bonnes prestations: informations, équipement cuisine, buanderie,..
Quartier tranquille, commerces à proximité (5minutes à pied). Métro à 10 minutes qui rend accessible le centre de Manhattan en une grosse demi heure.
L'hôte est très arrangeant (accueil, bagages...)
lovely place, open and airy. Rozy was so responsive before and during my stay. House manager Sophie is attentive and helpful and her son is adorable! Loved feeling part of a Dakar neighbourhood
Rosalinde was super helpful, meeting me the night before with a key so that my brother and his wife could check in the next day. I live nearby and her lovely apt was perfect for them. It was very clean, open, spacious, with a lovely back patio. My brother loved it and would stay again any time he's visiting.
Prospect Heights is a great neighborhood with lots of walkable restaurants and bars. The museum and botanic garden plus Prospect Park and the farmer's market make it a place you could spend a lot of time in. The C, 2/3, 4/5 and Q trains are all handy too.
My wife, Kathy, and I just returned from a month stay in Rozy's apartment in Brooklyn. It was great. Very comfortable, bright, good kitchen, wonderful balcony- porch, good bathroom and bedrooms, wi-fi, real easy garbage and recycling, elevator and many restaurants, stores, cafes and bars very close. Only 20 minute walk to Prospect Park. Plus, Rozy is really easy and accommodating--great to work with.
We spent 3 days in Rozys House. The house is very well equiped with a wonderful garden in a lovely quarter of Dakar not far from the center. Near the house, you will find many little shops for drink and food. 300 meters from the house, there is also a taxi stand. Sophie, the house manager, was very kind and helpful with all types of recommendations. With her 2-year-old son Sidi we had a lot of fun.
We can really recommend this location.
The lovely maison rose was perfect for our family of four for Christmas week in Dakar. The house is delightful and very well supplied. I was able to make our traditional Christmas breakfast with everything in the well stocked kitchen.
Sophie and her two year old son Sidi were wonderful caretakers and we simply fell in love with them both.
The house was beautifully located for us; near our daughter's host family home, markets and casinos and only a short cab ride to downtown Dakar.
It was a delightful home away from home.
We (three adults) stayed at Rozy's apartment over the Christmas period and found it very comfortable. It's spacious and bright, with a huge balcony which would act as another room in the warmer months.
The kitchen is well equipped and we were able to do a lot of cooking at the apartment.
Pooks the cat is lovely, a little timid but once she gets to know you, she comes out of her shell for a fuss.
The area in general is great, close to the subway for getting further afield and nearby there are nice restaurants, bars and shops.
I would definitely recommend Rozy's apartment.
The reservation was canceled 8 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
My friends and I had the privilege of staying at Rosalinds apartment for 5 days 4 nights this past weekend.The apartment itself was a new build, clean and very well maintained. It was spacious for 3 of us however you could easily fit another 2-3 more people there. Rosalind also has a cat who stays in the apartment. The cat generally stays to herself until she's ready for a belly rub. Very easy to co-exist with her however I would be wary of anyone who has a pet allergy as she does shed quite a bit. Nonetheless, friendly cat friend to have around; we all had a little bit of fun playing with her.
The area that the apartment was located in was a beautiful up and coming part of Brooklyn located literally a 5 minute walk from the C train which would take us right into Manhattan, Times Sq and other points of interest. The neighborhood is a safe close knit community full of character; There are a lot of small bistros, pubs and bars to check out. Definitely made our trip significantly easier.
Rosalind was a great host and extremely flexible with my friends and I regarding check in and check out time. Both Rosalind and her friend Courtney were welcoming, warm and friendly with us. They provided lots of information about the area and the different blocks along Brooklyn. They were also very communicative which made getting into and out of the apartment very easy.
I would definitely recommend Rosalind's apartment for anyone looking for a peaceful quiet stay in NYC.
We all had a great time in Rosalind apartment. The apartment has tons of natural light and is very comfortable, you end up feeling like at home and the terrace is great. Rosalind was not in NY during our stay but she was always very reachable though email, all doubts and help was rapidly solve, and prepared everything to make the keys pick up and dropping very easy. Overall a very good experience that I would recommend.
Rozy est venue séjourner une semaine avec son compagnon. Couple super chouette et très très gentil. Super communication avec eux.
Rozy came to stay one week with her companion. Super great and very very kind couple. Great communication with them.
I've been fortunate enough to have stayed with Rosalind twice both experiences were fantastic, she was knowledgeable about the neighborhood and public transportation in the area.
Prospect Park is a short walk/ride (about 1.5miles) away from the apartment and has a great farmers market on Saturday mornings
The apartment is clean and comfortable and Rosalind has always been easy to communicate with.
Brilliant place to stay and a great host!

OK, I like the Microsoft one with each division battling each other. Maybe Oracle's lawyer-happy org is a dig at their lawsuits. I don't really get the humor in the other charts.
Amazon's chart is a binary tree, Facebook's is a "social network", Apple is the Cult of Jobs, and Google's chart is very complicated, I guess the number of parent nodes determines the EmployeeRank
I noticed Amazon's binary tree, but I don't understands how that connects to Amazon's practices.

Literary Hook: Celebration signing, reading of new book April 2 at Womanspace
By Christine Swanberg
Author and Poet
I want to personally invite you to a celebration signing and reading of my new book, The Alleluia Tree, to be held at 7 p.m., Monday, April 2, at Womanspace, 3333 Maria Linden Drive, Rockford.
Besides reading selections from the book itself, there will be a little time for discussion of topics of interest to the audience. For more information, please call (815) 877-0118. The event is open to the public. I hope to see you there.
Here is the first poem in the collection. My publisher, David Gecic, of Puddin'head Press, thought it would be a good "invitation" into the rest of the book. I hope you think so, too.
If you prefer to order the book directly from the publisher, you can call 888-BOOKS98 or see Puddin'head Press online to use PayPal to order.
I also want to thank Barnes & Noble for sponsoring a store event for the Wednesday Writers, which was highly successful with at least 35 people and all chairs used.
You're the One
You sit in the chiropractor's office waiting
to have your spine straightened and strengthened.
You're here because so many forces
have conspired to bring about your misalignment:
your first fall from the big Schwinn,
the accident which sent you rolling in a cornfield,
a lifetime of improper lifting,
the extra weight garnered slowly
to make up for the large girth of losses
the middle-aged mind readily conjures
before it begins its great journey of forgetting.
Perhaps you have had no luck
with established therapies
and wish to ward off intentional wounds,
your scars already knit from misappropriated
cruelties, snares, and scrapes collected
on this blue, imperfect planet.
Yet, here you are,
hopeful in your glorious misalignment,
still eager for healing
heading forward,
reading a recipe you might just try for dinner.
Misaligned or not, you stay the course,
despite the urn of mistakes sitting on your mantel.
My dear Mislocated, Misconstrued, Misshapened,
Mismanaged, and Mischievous,
it's You. You're the one
for whom I write these poems.
This poem was first published in Louisville Review and again in a chapbook created by the Neville Public Museum (Green Bay, Wis.). It is also included in The Alleluia Tree, now out from Puddin'head Press.
Christine Swanberg is a local author and poet. She has published about 300 poems in 70 journals and anthologies. The Alleluia Tree is her latest book. She teaches writing at The Clearing in Door County, Wisconsin, and gives workshops and readings thoughout the United States.
From the March 28-April 3, 2012, issue

This vary rare (only 109 produced) 1971 V code Roadrunner ran well (code
E87=385hp), This 440 6 pack engine was just rebuilt, although it's still in
need of some carb tuning and could stand a timing adjustment. It holds the
road nice, and will brake well with a good bleed out. I accidentally called
it a Dana, but it's really an 8 3/4 rear, that you can hear a little gear
whine in the video. The upside is that it's a real beauty in it's factory
original Hemi Orange with a slight pearl in the clearcoat. This is one of
the cleanest, straightest bodies I've seen in a Mopar. The whole car was
rotissaried in body color, including body color wheel wells. Tuned and
timed on a fresh motor build, this car is for sale, $47,500.00.

- Product Details
No-Flush Niacin contains inositol hexaniacinate, a form of niacin (vitamin B3) used in Europe for over 40 years. Inositol hexaniacinate is not associated with the side effects of harsher forms of niacin in high doses, such as flushing of the skin and upset stomach.
The body uses the water-soluble vitamin B3 in the process of releasing energy from carbohydrates. It is needed to form fat from carbohydrates and to process alcohol. The niacin form of vitamin B3 also regulates, though niacinamide does not.
Vitamin B3 has been used in connection with these conditions: acne, high cholesterol, high triglycerides (niacin), intermittent claudication (niacin-inositol hexaniacinate), osteoarthritis (niacinamide), and type 1 diabetes.
Naural Factor's goal is to deliver supplements which marry the wisdom of ancient herbal physicians and the science of modern clinical research to enhance the health of consumers everywhere.

With the 40th anniversary of Evangelii Nuntiandi, this webinar series explores what it means to be an evangelizer and how we can live that out today.
Evangelii Nuntiandi: A Living Document for Evangelization in the Digital Age
Jonathan Lewis
Coordinator of Evangelization and Young Adult Initiatives, Archdiocese of Washington
Pope Francis has called Blessed Pope Paul VI's Document on Evangelization, Evangellii Nuntiandi "the greatest pastoral document that has ever been written." As we celebrate its 40 year anniversary Jonathan will unpack key themes and discuss how it continues to provide practical insights into our call to be evangelizers in the Digital Age.
Evangelii Gaudium: Moving the Church from Maintenance to Mission
Fr. Frank Donio, S.A.C.
Director, Catholic Apostolate Center
In his apostolic exhortation, Evangelii Gaudium, Pope Francis invites all to a personal encounter with Jesus Christ. We are not to keep the faith to ourselves, but are sent as missionary disciples to transform the world to Christ. We are all called to be Spirit-filled disciples, not in a maintenance mode but rather a missionary one (Evangelii Gaudium,118-120,259-262). How can we accomplish this call to be a missionary disciple today?

State employees injured by carnival trailer wreck
WESTMINSTER An East Calais woman was one of two state employees injured Tuesday afternoon when a box truck hauling a carnival cotton candy trailer jackknifed on Interstate 91 and hit their car.
Vermont State Police said Patricia Ethier, 44, was driving the state Department of Labor car and Aaron Lewis, 38, no address given, was her passenger. Both were taken to Brattleboro Memorial Hospital. According to a state employee directory, both work for the Department of Labor in Montpelier.
A spokeswoman at the hospital said she could not confirm whether either was a patient there.
Police said both were wearing their seat belts.
Police said a box truck driven by Karl Blanton, of Lenoir, N.C., was southbound on Interstate 91 at about 1:45 p.m. when it left the road.
Both northbound and southbound traffic was reduced to one lane until the two state employees were freed from their vehicle, a Ford Fusion.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used as credit towards that service with that business for an additional three months.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher as credit towards a bungy jump, for another three months.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

X-Post: Miele induction cooktop oven Elux oven?
Posted this in Appliances Forum yesterday, but would love to hear any wisdom from here also -
In the seemingly never-ending throes of kitchen remodel planning, have read (and re-read!) many threads on induction cooktops and electric wall ovens, but still trying to come up with a solution to our situation. Ideally, I'd like a 36" induction RANGE, but apparently no residential models in the USA - so we're hoping to install a 36" induction cooktop over a 30" electric wall oven. We'll have a second wall oven in another area of the kitchen, but for several reasons don't want to do a double oven or stack 2 singles. I'm strongly leaning toward the Miele KM5773BL cooktop (I know about cabinet width issues; we're doing custom cabs, so we can make sure the width will fit) and either the Electrolux Wave-Touch EW30EW55GS or ICON E30EW75GPS wall oven. The problem I just can't seem to find an answer to is whether the Miele cooktop can successfully be installed over either of those Elux ovens. I've read the specs & installation instructions; Miele just gives clearance required (4.5") between countertop & oven below - I haven't seen a list of "Miele-approved" ovens that can go below. But Electrolux DOES have a list of cooktops that can go above their ovens, and (as others have noted) they're all Elux appliances!
So my questions are:
1) Does anyone out there have this combo installed? Would love to hear your comments/experience/issues, and (of course!) see photos.
2) In general, it would seem that this sort of installation would require a higher-than-normal countertop - 4.5" from floor for minimum oven height + cabinet to accomodate 27.25" minimum cutout + 4.5" clearance to top of counter for cooktop = at least 37", I think? I'm tall, so OK for me - but am I figuring this correctly?
3) Am I correct in believing that there could be warranty issues w/ an Elux oven if it was installed per their instructions but under a non-Elux cooktop? Has anyone had this happen?
I really wish that either the Elux induction cooktops or the Miele wall ovens appealed to me as much as the others do! But the features of the Miele induction (timers for each hob, "stop and go" temporary power reduction, hob and control layout) look really good to me, and the Elux ovens seem to have so many satisfied users - at a more economical price than a Miele oven.
Please help if you can - Thanks!

Wei-Yin Chen Rumors
Orioles Close To Deal With Wei-Yin Chen
By Tim Dierkes [January 8, 2012 at 4:44pm CDT]
The Orioles are close to a multiyear deal with Taiwanese lefty Wei-Yin Chen, tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. As a foreign player in Nippon Professional Baseball, Chen had free agency negotiated into his contract with the Chunichi Dragons.
Last year in Japan, Chen posted a 2.68 ERA, 5.1 K/9, 1.7 BB/9, and 0.49 HR/9 in 164 2/3 innings. He ranked 19th on Keith Law's top 50 free agents list. Law offered a positive scouting report, concluding that Chen "offers more upside than the typical NPB refugee, both due to age and the chance for the slider to become a consistently plus pitch." Chen, 26, throws relatively hard for a southpaw, as high as 92-94 when he's right according to Law.
New Orioles executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette has gone the international route to supplement his rotation, having already added an NPB starter in December in Tsuyoshi Wada.

Quick Hits: Madson, Phillies, Orioles, Hanrahan
By Mark Polishuk [December 29, 2011 at 11:46pm CDT]
It was on this day in 2009 that the Mets signed Jason Bay to a four-year, $66MM contract. The deal was almost immediately panned as one of the worst moves of the 2009-10 offseason and time has proven the critics right; Bay has hit just .251/.337/.386 in two injury-plagued years in New York.
Some news items as we head closer to 2012…
- Ryan Madson is "the loser of the offseason," writes Fangraphs' Eric Seidman. With no obvious teams still in need of a long-term closer, Seidman thinks Madson may have to settle for a one-year contract and try again for a multiyear deal next winter. 32.36% of MLBTR readers polled believe Madson will sign with the Angels, with just under 21% picking 'other' and 17.55% picking the Reds. Though LAA and Cincinnati have cheaper closing options in the fold already, they're also looking to win now. They'd both surely jump at Madson on a one-year deal and are probably Madson's only realistic suitors for a multiyear contract, though who knows what Scott Boras may yet pull out of his hat. (The 'other' voters clearly know all about Boras' relationship with the Mystery Team.)
- The Phillies aren't likely to bid on Yoenis Cespedes and Bob Brookover of the Philadelphia Inquirer argues that Jorge Soler (the other intriguing Cuban outfield prospect on the market the winter) is also too unproven and expensive for the potential $20MM+ contract he could receive from a team.
- Also from Brookover, he lists Jonny Gomes and Scott Hairston as potential targets for the Phillies as the team looks for a fifth outfielder. If the Phils want to spend more to fill the spot, Brookover suggests Cody Ross and Ryan Ludwick.
- The Rangers' January 18 deadline for signing Yu Darvish is also the day the "logjam will break" for Prince Fielder, opines Thomas Boswell of the Washington Post. If the Rangers can't sign Darvish, they "will be all over Fielder" to counter the Angels' signing of Albert Pujols.
- There are "roughly six teams that have shown consistent interest" in Wei-Yin Chen, reports Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun. The Orioles are one, the Pirates presumably still another, and the other four are yet unknown.
- Also from Connolly's piece, he predicts Edwin Jackson will find at least a four-year contract on the free agent market and notes that while "Jackson's upside intrigues the Orioles," team management has shied away from that long a commitment to free agent pitchers in the past.
- Pirates closer (and MLBTR fan) Joel Hanrahan tells Bill Brink of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that he doesn't expect to receive a long-term contract offer from the Bucs this winter. Hanrahan is projected to earn around $4MM this winter in his second trip through the arbitration process. He said the team hasn't made contact with him or his representatives yet about his 2012 contract, but this was also the case during his first taste of arbitration last year.

AL East Notes: Jurrjens, Chen, Longoria, Yankees
By Mark Polishuk [December 29, 2011 at 7:31pm CDT]
Here's the latest from the AL East….
- The Red Sox are not in on Jair Jurrjens, but the Orioles, Blue Jays, Rockies and Tigers remain in on the Braves right-hander, according to Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com (on Twitter).
- The Orioles are still interested in Chunichi Dragons left-hander Wei-Yin Chen, reports Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com, and the team has scouted Chen several times in Japan. The O's were linked to Chen earlier this offseason and we've also heard that the PIrates had an interest in the free agent southpaw. MLBTR's Tim Dierkes predicted Chen could be signed for a contract in the neighborhood of four years and under $20MM.
- Rays third baseman Evan Longoria texted the St. Petersburg Times (reported by The Times' Marc Topkin) to deny recent internet rumors that he wanted to leave Tampa Bay. "I don't have any idea where that rumor came from! It's completely false,'' Longoria said. "I've said from the start I love Tampa, I love the direction we are heading as a franchise and there is no better place for me to continue to grow as a player and person.''
- The Yankees have been quiet this winter seemingly in an attempt to avoid a hefty luxury tax penalty next season, but one AL executive doesn't think this strategy will last. "I think they can sit back right now," the anonymous exec told The Star-Ledger's Jeff Bradley, "because on paper they have a very strong team. But do I think the Yankees won't spend aggressively if they start to dip in the win column? Not a chance. I think they'll do what they have to do to win."
- The Athletics wanted right-hander Noah Syndergaard from the Blue Jays as part of any trade for Gio Gonzalez, reported Jeff Blair on the Fan590's Prime Time Sports radio show (passed on by Andrew Stoeten of the Drunk Jays Fans blog.) Syndergaard was drafted 38th overall by Toronto in the 2010 draft and has posted impressive numbers in his first two years of pro ball.
- Earlier today, MLBTR's Ben Nicholson-Smith posted a collection of Red Sox notes.

O's Turned Down Braves' Offer For Adam Jones?
By Luke Adams [December 21, 2011 at 9:03am CDT]
The Braves made a run at Orioles outfielder Adam Jones earlier this month, according to Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun. Connolly reports that Atlanta offered Jair Jurrjens, Martin Prado, and a pitching prospect for Jones, but the O's "didn't bite," indicating how much they value their center fielder.
However, a source familiar with the negotiations tells Mark Bowman of MLB.com that the Braves merely expressed interest in Jones and did not offer any particular package. The O's told the Braves that Jones was unavailable, Bowman adds, then got back to the Braves later and asked for Jurrjens, Prado and "two other premium guys," which the Braves declined.
It was reported earlier in the month that the Orioles and Braves talked about Jurrjens and Prado, though it hadn't been confirmed that Jones was also discussed. Here are the rest of this morning's Orioles notes:
- Connolly and Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com both address a report indicating the Orioles are in on Prince Fielder, concluding that Fielder coming to Baltimore is an extreme long-shot unless his asking price drops significantly.
- Although the Orioles are looking for starting pitching and Roy Oswalt is reportedly willing to accept a one-year contract, the righty probably isn't a realistic target for Baltimore. The O's play in the wrong ballpark and wrong division for Oswalt to boost his stock on a make-good deal, says Connolly.
- Connolly adds that the Orioles continue to discuss Wei-Yin Chen internally and externally.

Orioles Nearing Deal With Tsuyoshi Wada
By Ben Nicholson-Smith [December 13, 2011 at 11:22am CDT]
11:22am: The Orioles are "really working on" a deal for Chen as well, tweets Connolly. There's more competition for Chen, who will likely cost more than Wada in terms of years and dollars.
9:35am: The sides are nearing a two-year, $8.15MM deal that will include an option for 2014, according to Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports (Twitter links).
8:46am: The Orioles are closing in on a multiyear deal with Japanese left-hander Tsuyoshi Wada, according to Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun. The Orioles haven't finalized an agreement with the free agent, but they're "getting there."
Wada posted a 1.51 ERA with 8.2 K/9 and 1.9 BB/9 in 184 2/3 innings for the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks in 2011. The 30-year-old is a Dallas Braden type with "a 86-87 mph fastball, a good circle change, and a solid slider," according to Patrick Newman of FanGraphs.
Connolly notes that the Orioles remain interested in left-hander Wei-Yin Chen. MLBTR's Tim Dierkes suggested in November that a four-year, $20MM deal might be enough to sign the 26-year-old free agent. He posted a 2.68 ERA with 5.1 K/9 in 164 2/3 innings this past season.

Pirates Interested In Cespedes, Chen, Wada
By Ben Nicholson-Smith [December 2, 2011 at 9:44am CDT]
The Pirates are interested in outfielder Yoenis Cespedes and free agent left-handers Wei-Yin Chen and Tsuyoshi Wada, according to Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review (Twitter links). However, they'll quickly back away if the bidding on Cespedes gets "crazy." Cespedes is expected to become a free agent relatively soon and Wada and Chen have been able to negotiate with MLB teams since free agency began Thursday.
Wada posted a 1.51 ERA with 8.2 K/9 and 1.9 BB/9 in 184 2/3 innings for the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks in 2011. The 30-year-old is a Dallas Braden type with "a 86-87 mph fastball, a good circle change, and a solid slider," according to Patrick Newman of FanGraphs.

Morosi On Fielder, Randy Wells, Guthrie
By Tim Dierkes [November 28, 2011 at 11:41am CDT]
A "tense three-week period that will shape [baseball's] landscape for the following year" begins today, writes Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports. His latest:
- Agent Scott Boras has pared down Prince Fielder's sales pitch binder but still has 70 pages worth, he tells Morosi. Morosi says Fielder's suitors are believed to be the Cubs, Nationals, Rangers, and Mariners.
- The Cubs are open to moving Randy Wells, indicates Morosi as he lists available starting pitchers. Wells, 29, is under team control through 2014. MLBTR projects him to earn $2.2MM in 2012.
- The Angels and Orioles discussed the possibility of a Jeremy Guthrie trade in recent days. Guthrie, 33 in April, projects to earn $8.3MM in 2012 before hitting free agency.
- Japanese players including righty Hisashi Iwakuma, lefties Tsuyoshi Wada and Wei-Yin Chen, and second baseman Kensuke Tanaka can begotiate with MLB teams after free agency in Japan begins Thursday. The Yakult Swallows intend to post outfielder Norichika Aoki after the Winter Meetings, adds Morosi.

Orioles Notes: Reynolds, Tillman, Chen, Johnson
By Zach Links [November 26, 2011 at 2:36pm CDT]
Earlier this week we learned that the Orioles are close to a deal with Korean right-hander Chong Tae-Hyon and the pact should become official after he undergoes a physical. Here's more on the O's..
- Mark Reynolds' propensity for striking out didn't faze the Orioles much when they traded for him last winter, writes Rich Dubroff of CSNBaltimore.com. The O's acquired the 28-year-old from Arizona for relievers David Hernandez and Kam Mickolio roughly one year ago. Manager Buck Showalter is leaning towards playing Reynolds at first this year with Chris Davis at third base.
- Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com takes a look at Baltimore's rotation and notes the club would be willing to deal Chris Tillman. Tillman, 23, posted a 5.52 ERA with 6.7 K/9 and 3.6 BB/9 in 13 big league starts last year.
- While the Orioles are waiting to see if Yu Darvish will be posted, fellow NPB pitcher Wei-Yin Chen is another name to keep an eye on, writes Dan Connolly of The Baltimore Sun. Earlier this month, Tim Dierkes wrote that the 26-year-old left-hander could be signed for less than $20MM over four years.
- The Orioles' interest in adding relief pitchers could open the door for Jim Johnson to return to the rotation and Steve Melewski of MASNsports.com is all for it. Melewski could see Johnson thriving in a starting role as he has enough quality pitches to make the transition.

Free Agent Stock Watch: Wei-Yin Chen
By Tim Dierkes [November 8, 2011 at 11:10am CDT]
Southpaw Wei-Yin Chen belongs somewhere in our top 50 free agents list, perhaps in the 20s. Chen will likely be coming to MLB from Japan's Chunichi Dragons as a 26-year-old free agent. The Taiwanese lefty was a foreign player in Nippon Professional Baseball, and his agents at Octagon negotiated free agency into his contract.
Chen's arm may be fresher than many hurlers coming over from Japan, given his age and the fact that his innings were limited by Tommy John surgery several years ago. On the other hand, he's not lighting up radar guns as he once did, and his strikeout rate dipped to 5.1 per nine innings in 164 2/3 frames this year. Chen did manage a 2.68 ERA, keeping his walks and home runs allowed down.
Chen is expected to come to MLB if he's offered a rotation job. I don't expect the price to be exorbitant — perhaps a four-year deal worth less than $20MM would get it done. Interest should be strong in a market light on reasonably-priced starting pitchers with upside.

NPB Rumors: Aoki, Nakajima, Chen, Kuroda, Igawa
By Tim Dierkes [November 8, 2011 at 9:22am CDT]
Patrick Newman of NPB Tracker has scoured Japanese newspapers for the latest rumors.
- Yakult center fielder Norichika Aoki has asked to be posted. Aoki hit .292/.358/.360 in 643 plate appearances in 2011. Newman wrote last year that Aoki was "the best pure hitter Japan has produced since Ichiro," but that was before his numbers dropped off significantly in 2011. Despite great range, Newman thought last year that Aoki's weak arm could limit him to left field in MLB.
- Seibu shortstop Hiroyuki Nakajima will again ask to be posted this offseason. Nakajima was denied that request last winter, though the Orioles and Mariners were reportedly among the interested teams. The 29-year-old hit .297/.354/.433 with 16 home runs in 633 plate appearances this year. Newman considered Aoki Japan's second-best hitter in his August 2010 article.
- Chunichi southpaw Wei-Yin Chen was 50/50 on moving to MLB as of October 26th. Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports dubbed Chen a "likely free agent" in a report this morning. The 26-year-old posted a 2.68 ERA, 5.1 K/9, 1.7 BB/9, and 0.49 HR/9 in 164 2/3 innings this year. He's represented by Alan Nero of Octagon.
- The Hiroshima Carp have an offer out to Hiroki Kuroda. Kuroda said he's happy to have received the offer from his former team. His plans for 2012 remain unknown though.
- Multiple Japanese teams have interest in Kei Igawa, who reached free agency after his five-year deal with the Yankees expired.
