Hello again, The internet is bad here even when "they" say it is good. Not really strong enough to get many photos with my entries and I have some great photos. I have tried several times to send photos and it just doesn't work, unfortunately. I will be heading to Fez in a couple of days and will try catching up with photos from there. Too bad because I was so excited to show you my camel!

ginseng seeds
I bought some pre-stratified ginseng seeds off the internet. Has anyone ever tried to grow ginseng from seed? Also, what does pre-stratified mean?
Pre-stratified means that it has been given a sufficient cold period for it to germinate. Many seeds require a moist, cold period before it will germinate, and ginseng, I guess, does. All you need to do, presumably, is to put them into some soil and wait for it to germinate.

I've been doing some work with Windows Azure Media services and making progress, although it takes some time and experimentation to work through the vocabulary of the API, documentation, and code snippets.
1. Uploading and encoding video into media services can be completed programmatically using the CloudMediaContext class from the NuGet package WindowsAzure.MediaServices.
2. Uploading creates an asset in media services. Each asset can contain multiple files, but you only want one video or audio file in the uploaded asset. WAMS will create a container in blob storage for each asset, so it seems best to create a new storage account dedicated to each media service.
3. For encoding you need to select a media processor by name, and perhaps a preset configuration by name. The processor names you can list using some C# code, and the values I currently see are:
Windows Azure Media Encoder 3.7
Windows Azure Media Packager 2.8
Windows Azure Media Encryptor 2.8
Windows Azure Media Encoder 2.3
Storage Decryption 1.7
Preset names took some digging around, but I eventually found a complete list for the WAME at Media Services Encoder System Presets.
What follows is a class that wraps CloudMediaContext and can list assets including the files inside, upload an asset, encode an asset, and list the available media processors. It is experimental code that assumes it is working inside a console application, but that behavior is easy to refactor out. Some of the LINQ queries are strange, but they work around the wonkiness of OData.
public class MediaService { public MediaService() { _context = new CloudMediaContext( Configuration.AzureAccountName, Configuration.AzureAccountKey ); } public void Upload(string filePath) { var assetName = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(filePath) + "_i"; var asset = _context.Assets.Create(assetName, AssetCreationOptions.None); var assetFileName = Path.GetFileName(filePath); var assetFile = asset.AssetFiles.Create(assetFileName); assetFile.UploadProgressChanged += (sender, args) => Console.WriteLine("Up {0}:{1}", assetName, args.Progress); assetFile.Upload(filePath); } public void Encode(string filePath) { var assetName = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(filePath) + "_i"; var asset = GetAsset(assetName); var job = _context.Jobs.Create("Encoding job " + assetName); var processor = GetMediaProcessor(); var task = job.Tasks.AddNew("Encoding task" + assetName, processor, Configuration.PresetName, TaskOptions.None); task.InputAssets.Add(asset); task.OutputAssets.AddNew(assetName + "_o", AssetCreationOptions.None); job.StateChanged += (sender, args) => Console.WriteLine("Job: {0} {1}", job.Name, args.CurrentState); job.Submit(); var progress = job.GetExecutionProgressTask(CancellationToken.None); progress.Wait(); } public void ListMedia() { foreach (var asset in _context.Assets) { Console.WriteLine("{0}", asset.Name); foreach (var file in asset.AssetFiles) { Console.WriteLine("\t{0}", file.Name); } } } public void ListMediaProcessors() { Console.WriteLine("Available processors are:"); foreach (var procesor in _context.MediaProcessors) { Console.WriteLine("\t{0} {1}", procesor.Name, procesor.Version); } } IMediaProcessor GetMediaProcessor() { var processors = _context.MediaProcessors .Where(p => p.Name == Configuration.EncoderName) .ToList() .OrderBy(p => new Version(p.Version)); if (!processors.Any()) { Console.WriteLine("Could not find processor {0}", Configuration.EncoderName); ListMediaProcessors(); Environment.Exit(-1); } return processors.First(); } IAsset GetAsset(string name) { var assets = _context.Assets.Where(a => a.Name == name).ToList(); if (!assets.Any()) { Console.WriteLine("Could not find asset {0}", name); Environment.Exit(-1); } return assets.First(); } readonly CloudMediaContext _context; }
The above class also assumes you have a Configuration class to read config information, which looks like the following.
<appSettings> <add key="accountName" value="media services account name"/> <add key="accountKey" value="media services key"/> <add key="encoderName" value="Windows Azure Media Encoder"/> <add key="presetName" value="H264 Broadband SD 4x3"/> </appSettings>
Creating a custom directive in AngularJS is easy, let's start with the HTML for a simple example.
{{ message }}

The above markup is using a directive named otcDynamic, which only provides a template.
app.directive("otcDynamic", function(){ return { template:"<button ng-click='doSomething()'>{{label}}
" }; });
When combined with a controller, the presentation will allow the user to click a button to see a message appear on the screen.
app.controller("mainController", function($scope){ $scope.label = "Please click"; $scope.doSomething = function(){ $scope.message = "Clicked!"; }; });
Next, imagine the otcDynamic directive can't use a static template. The directive needs to look at some boolean flags, user data, or service information, and dynamically construct the template markup. In the following example, we'll only simulate this scenario. We are still using a static string, but we'll pretend we created the string dynamically and use element.html to place the markup into the DOM.
app.directive("otcDynamic", function(){ return { link: function(scope, element){ element.html("<button ng-click='doSomething()'>{{label}}</button>"); } }; });
The above sample no longer functions correctly and will only render a button displaying the literal text {{label}} to a user.
Markup has to go through a compilation phase for Angular to find and activate directives like ng-click and {{label}}.
The $compile service is the service to use for compilation. Invoking $compile against markup will produce a function you can use to bind the markup against a particular scope (what Angular calls a linking function). After linking, you'll have DOM elements you can place into the browser.
app.directive("otcDynamic", function($compile){ return{ link: function(scope, element){ var template = "<button ng-click='doSomething()'>{{label}}</button>"; var linkFn = $compile(template); var content = linkFn(scope); element.append(content); } } });
If you have to $compile in response to an element event, like a click event or other non-Angular code, you'll need to invoke $apply for the proper scope lifecycle.
app.directive("otcDynamic", function($compile) { var template = "<button ng-click='doSomething()'>{{label}}</button>"; return{ link: function(scope, element){ element.on("click", function() { scope.$apply(function() { var content = $compile(template)(scope); element.append(content); }) }); } } });
Long time buyer, first time writer.
Over the years I've struggled each time I've decided it's time to to buy a new ThinkPad. I've struggled because it used to be difficult to choose from so many solid entries in the T, X, and W lines.
These days I'm looking at lenovo.com and struggling to find a laptop computer anyone is happy to own.
Take a look at stars on the T series. The combined score is 12 / 20.
We'll round up the stars in the X series and give these ultrabooks a combined score of 13/20.
These scores are in the "meh" category, and not what I'd expect from Lenovo's flagship and premium brand. Reading through the reviews you'll find most people are happy with the performance, the battery life, the selection of ports, and the build quality. But I'm sure you've also noticed the copious rants about the keyboards you are designing and shipping on today's models.
Perhaps we expect more from ThinkPads because the ThinkPad name was synonymous for "great keyboard". Perhaps that's why shortcut key aficionados were drawn to the ThinkPad line in the first place. We don't need mice or track pads when we can use Alt+F4 or Alt+Insert to make things happen.
Now you've removed the Insert key from the X1 and turned the function keys into a capacitive flat-strip LED light show.
And moving the Home and End keys to the left side of the keyboard? I have no words to describe my sadness. I'll instead use Peter Bright's words from his article "Stop trying to innovate keyboards. You're just making them worse".
"I think these kind of keyboard games betray a fundamental misunderstanding of how people use keyboards. Companies might think that they're being innovative by replacing physical keys with soft keys, and they might think that they're making the keyboard somehow "easier to use" by removing keys from the keyboard. But they're not."
Maybe the world has changed and the majority of productive professionals and do web conferences all day and Netflix movies all night. Perhaps this is the product line you need to stay alive in a world where the majority are consumed by consumption and touch.
Yet, I hope moving forward you will delight customers with qualities and features that are unique to ThinkPads, and not continue with these innovations that transform your products into inferior imitations of other brands.
With great sincerity,
One of the fantastic aspects of cloud computing in general is the capability to automate every step of a process. Hanselman and Brady Gaster have both written about the Windows Azure Management Libraries, see Penny Pinching in the Cloud and Brady's Announcement for some details.
The management libraries are wrappers around the Azure HTTP API and are a boon for businesses that run products on Azure. Not only do the libraries allow for automation but they also allow you (or rather me, at this very minute) to create custom applications for a business to manage Azure services. Although the Azure portal is full of features, it can be overwhelming to someone who doesn't work with Azure on a daily basis. An even bigger issue is how there is no concept of roles in the portal. If you want to give someone the ability to shutdown a VM from the portal, you also give them the ability to do anything in the portal, including the ability to accidently delete all services the business holds dear.
A custom portal solves both of the above problems because you can build something tailored to the services and vocabulary the business uses, as well as perform role checks and restrict dangerous activities. The custom portal will need a management certificate to perform activities against the Azure API, and the easiest approach to obtain a management certificate is to download a publish setting file.
Once you have a publish settings file, you can write some code to parse the information inside and make the data available to higher layer management activities. There are a few libraries out there that can work with publish setting files, but I have some special requirements and want to work with them directly. The contents of a publish settings file look like the following (and note there can be multiple Subscription elements inside).
<PublishData> <PublishProfile SchemaVersion="2.0" PublishMethod="AzureServiceManagementAPI"> <Subscription ServiceManagementUrl="https://management.core.windows.net" Id="...guid..." Name="Happy Subscription Name" ManagementCertificate="...base64 encoded certificate data..." /> </PublishProfile> </PublishData>
Let's use the following code as an example goal for how my custom publish settings should work. I want to:
var fileContents = File.ReadAllText("odetocode.publishsettings"); var publishSettingsFile = new PublishSettingsFile(fileContents); foreach (var subscription in publishSettingsFile.Subscriptions) { Console.WriteLine("Showing compute services for: {0}", subscription.Name); var credentials = subscription.GetCredentials(); using (var client = new ComputeManagementClient(credentials, subscription.ServiceUrl)) { var services = client.HostedServices.List(); foreach (var service in services) { Console.WriteLine("\t{0}", service.ServiceName); } } }
It is the PublishSettingsFile class that parses the XML and creates PublishSetting objects. I've removed some error handling from the class so it doesn't appear too intimidating.
public class PublishSettingsFile { public PublishSettingsFile(string fileContents) { var document = XDocument.Parse(fileContents); _subscriptions = document.Descendants("Subscription") .Select(ToPublishSettings).ToList(); } private PublishSettings ToPublishSettings(XElement element) { var settings = new PublishSettings(); settings.Id = Get(element, "Id"); settings.Name = Get(element, "Name"); settings.ServiceUrl = GetUri(element, "ServiceManagementUrl"); settings.Certificate = GetCertificate(element, "ManagementCertificate"); return settings; } private string Get(XElement element, string name) { return (string) element.Attribute(name); } private Uri GetUri(XElement element, string name) { return new Uri(Get(element, name)); } private X509Certificate2 GetCertificate(XElement element, string name) { var encodedData = Get(element, name); var certificateAsBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(encodedData); return new X509Certificate2(certificateAsBytes); } public IEnumerable<PublishSettings> Subscriptions { get { return _subscriptions; } } private readonly IList<PublishSettings> _subscriptions; }
The PublishSettings class itself is relatively simple. It mostly holds data, but can also create the credentials object needed to communicate with Azure.
public class PublishSettings { public string Id { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public Uri ServiceUrl { get; set; } public X509Certificate2 Certificate { get; set; } public SubscriptionCloudCredentials GetCredentials() { return new CertificateCloudCredentials(Id, Certificate); } }
In the future I'll try to write more about the custom portal I'm building with ASP.NET MVC, WebAPI, and AngularJS. It has some interesting capabilities.
One of the objects you can pass along in the config argument of an $http operation is a timeout promise. If the promise resolves, Angular will cancel the corresponding HTTP request.
Sounds easy, but in practice there are a few complications. Before we get to the complications, let's look at some easy code. Imagine the following inside of a controller where a user can click a Cancel button.
var canceller = $q.defer(); $http.get("/api/movies/slow/2", { timeout: canceller.promise }) .then(function(response){ $scope.movie = response.data; }); $scope.cancel = function(){ canceller.resolve("user cancelled"); };
The code passes the canceller promise as the timeout option in the config object. If the user clicks cancel before the request completes, we'll see the cancellation in the Network tab of the developer tools.
The complications come in real life scenarios where we have to manage multiple requests, provide the ability to cancel an operation to other client components, and figuring out if a given request is cancelled or not.
First, let's look at a service that wraps $http to provide domain oriented operations. Typically services that talk using $http return simple promises, but now we need to return objects that provide a promise for the outstanding request, and a method that can cancel the request.
app.factory("movies", function($http, $q){ var getById = function(id){ var canceller = $q.defer(); var cancel = function(reason){ canceller.resolve(reason); }; var promise = $http.get("/api/movies/slow/" + id, { timeout: canceller.promise}) .then(function(response){ return response.data; }); return { promise: promise, cancel: cancel }; }; return { getById: getById }; });
A client of the service might need to track multiple requests, if there is a UI like the following that allows a user to send multiple requests.

 <button ng-click="start()"> Start Request </button>

 <button ng-click="cancel(request)">Cancel</button>

{{m.title}}

The following code will manage the UI and allow the user to cancel any outstanding request.
app.controller("mainController", function($scope, movies) { $scope.movies = []; $scope.requests = []; $scope.id = 1; $scope.start = function(){ var request = movies.getById($scope.id++); $scope.requests.push(request); request.promise.then(function(movie){ $scope.movies.push(movie); clearRequest(request); }, function(reason){ console.log(reason); }); }; $scope.cancel = function(request){ request.cancel("User cancelled"); clearRequest(request); }; var clearRequest = function(request){ $scope.requests.splice($scope.requests.indexOf(request), 1); }; });
The logic gets messy and could use some additional encapsulation to keep request management from overwhelming the controller, but this is the essence of what you'd need to do to allow cancellation of $http operations.
Question from the mailbox: "After many years as a server side developer and DBA, is it time to make a switch to JavaScript and focus on client side development?"
I think you need to work in an environment you enjoy. Some people do not enjoy client side development, and that's ok. There is still plenty of work to do on the server and in the services that run there.
The funny thing is, you don't have to leave the server to learn JavaScript. Take a look at technologies like NodeJS or MongoDB first. Having some JavaScript experience will be good, and I think there is no better way to learn a new language than to use the language inside a paradigm you already understand.
Once you know more about JavaScript the language you should take some time to explore the HTML development landscape and try working with some of the tools and frameworks, even if you have to use some of your spare time.
Maybe you'll find you like the new world, only then it would be time for a switch, because in the end you gotta do what you enjoy...
In my recent work I've been using two approaches to handling errors and exceptions. The ultimate goal is to not let an error go unnoticed.
First up is a decorator for the $exceptionHandler service. We've looked at other decorators in a previous post. This specific decorator will send all errors to $rootScope for data binding before allowing the call to fall through to the default implementation (addError is a custom method on $rootScope, while $delegate represents the service being decorated). You could also try to send the errors back to the host and thereby collect errors from all clients.
app.config(function($provide){ $provide.decorator("$exceptionHandler", function($delegate, $injector){ return function(exception, cause){ var $rootScope = $injector.get("$rootScope"); $rootScope.addError({message:"Exception", reason:exception}); $delegate(exception, cause); }; }); });
Notice the use of $injector in the above code. Using the $injector service directly is required to avoid a circular dependency error by advertising both $exceptionHandler and $rootScope as dependencies.
I'm a fan of using catch at the end of a chain of promises. One reason is that catch is the only sure fire way to process all possible errors. Let's use the following code as an example.
someService .doWork() .then(workComplete, workError);
Even though an error handler (workError) is provided to the then method, the error handler doesn't help if something goes wrong inside of workComplete itself . . .
var workComplete = function(result){ return $q.reject("Feeling lazy"); };
. . . because we are already inside a success handler for the previous promise. I like the catch approach because it handles this scenario and also makes it easier to see that an error handler is in place.
someService .doWork() .then(workComplete) .catch(errors.catch("Could not complete work!"));
Since so many catch handlers started to look alike, I made an errors service to encapsulate some of the common logic.
app.factory("errors", function($rootScope){ return { catch: function(message){ return function(reason){ $rootScope.addError({message: message, reason: reason}) }; } }; });
And now async related activities can present meaningful error messages to the user when an operation fails.

how many split breakers can go in a breaker box??
First perhaps a stupid question. I have a 200 amp breaker box but if I add up the breakers, it comes to near 800 amps. Is the thought that while I have 200 amp service, it is unlikely I would ever be drawing full current through even 25 % of them?
A couple of years ago a electrician installed split breakers in about 40% of the slots in my main breaker box to handle extra outlets I wanted throughout the house. We are about to undergo a kitchen remodel that includes a second electric oven but little more power required. The contractor was making noises that he thought a new main box might be needed. It didn't seem that the oven was the problem but that we would have more dedicated circuits needed to bring to current code. So why can't more of the regular breakers be split to get the extra lines? There are still plenty of 15 and 20 amp breakers that could be split. Is there a limit on split breakers to a box?
I want to say the limit is 42 but that may depend on what version of the code your municipality is using. The manufacturer of the panel will also limit the number of circuits. Check the label for the number.
The combined amperage of the individual breaker will always (or almost always) exceed that of the main breaker. You typically don't use everything at once but there are calculations you or your electrician can perform to see if you have a large enough service.
The limit is what the panel supports. It used to be code to limit the maximum OCD's to 42. Some panels accepted less. Some only accept tandems in certain slots to prevent you from exceeding the old 42 limit. It should be marked on the panel somewhere.
The sum of your breakers can be more than the service size, which is ok. Load capacity can only be %80 of the circuit breaker size. The only thing you need to worry about is the actual load. This cannot be more than your service size, which may be what your electrician is talking about. He may think you are getting close to the service size.
Do a load service calculation to determine what the actual load is.

This post is a little hard to write, so bear with me.
You might have noticed a dearth of posts in the past month or so. This is because I stepped away from the keyboard for a while to deal with the death of my Dad.
As it stands, we have a memorial service planned for him soon and I'm distracting myself from writing what I want to say for the memorial by writing this post instead. Kinda crappy choices. That's life sometimes.
He was 73 years old and had recently had a triple bypass of his coronary arteries just before Thanksgiving, so his health was not optimal. But we had hopes things would improve. He struggled with the recovery and in the end it is his heart that gave up after emergency surgery for an aneurism.
The somewhat suddenness of it all and taking care of his business dealings as well as house stuff has been difficult. On top of that, my wife and I are selling our home (thankfully got an offer the first day).
All of this means my attention for the site has been reduced to a small trickle. I posted a photo experiment the other day as a means just to get me back to typing. I might have another today. The Photo Of The Day will start up next week, most likely and I will miss my Dad's comments any time I post a photo of a ferry boat, his favorite subject and why you often see them posted here.
Things will be a little stop and start for a while as the grief process winds its path. I still want to finish the 31 Days of Photography Experiments as well as 31+ Days To Better Photography series and get them into eBook format for you.
But for now I need to get back to summing up what my Dad meant to me. I still struggle with the first part of the speech and the middle, but I know how it will end; I only regret that I never told him thanks for showing me how to be a great father.

Tag:Tom Glavine

Next stop, Cooperstown (with Cox and Torre?)
There's absolutely no doubt that Tony La Russa is headed to the Hall of Fame.
And what a Hall of Fame class it could be.
La Russa will be eligible for a December 2013 vote on the "expansion era" ballot for managers and executives, on a ballot that will also include Bobby Cox, Joe Torre and John Schuerholz, among others. The ballot for managers and executives is separate from the player ballot, but Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine will appear on the player ballot for the first time that same year.
All of them could be part of the same induction ceremony in July 2014.
La Russa, Cox, Torre and Schuerholz would be voted on by a 16-member panel, and each would require 12 votes to be elected. There is no maximum on the number of managers or executives voted in in any one year (although each of the 16 voters has a maximum of five votes).

The no-doubt Hall of Famers
When the Hall of Fame ballot came out in December, I looked at it once, looked at it twice, looked at it again a week later.
There were good names on it (and some bad ones, too). But this was a year where the best candidates fit into the grey area, the debatable area, the area that leads to the great Hall of Fame arguments.
The area that Greg Maddux, Randy Johnson and Tom Glavine don't fit in. The area that Frank Thomas doesn't fit in.
The no-doubt area.
The only question we need to ask is when we can vote them in. And stick with us, because if you haven't been paying close attention, it gets a little tricky.
Glavine announced his retirement Thursday. Thomas announced his retirement today. But since neither of them played in the major leagues in 2009, they'll be eligible in 2014 (or in the December 2013 voting, if you prefer).
In other words, they'll be eligible the same year as Maddux, who announced his retirement more than a year ago. They'll be eligible a year earlier than Johnson, even though he announced his retirement a month before they did.
It's important, because these are guys who have credentials so obvious (and who, so far, aren't steroid-tainted) that they should be first-ballot Hall of Famers.
How can you argue with Glavine, who has the fourth-most wins of any left-hander all-time? How can you argue with Thomas, who for seven straight years finished in the Top 10 in American League MVP voting, winning it back-to-back in 1993 and '94?
Phil Rogers made the argument in the Chicago Tribune that Thomas was the best right-handed hitter in baseball from 1990-97. I'm not sure I'd go that far, but by any numbers you want to go by (traditional or sabermetric), Thomas was a great hitter. There were opposing pitchers who made fun of his "Big Hurt" nickname, but few who really wanted to face him.
The late Vern Plagenhoef, who covered the Tigers for many years and taught me more than anyone about this business, used to say that there should only be one vote on every Hall of Fame candidate -- yes or no, he's a Hall of Famer, or he's not. If they're Hall of Famers, they should stand out, and you shouldn't need multiple votes.
Frank Thomas stands out, just as Maddux, Johnson and Glavine stand out.
Those ballots, I could fill out today.

For the Braves, 2010 is already better
In 2009, the Braves disappointed John Smoltz, angered Tom Glavine and had at least a few issues with Bobby Cox.
So yes, 2010 is already off to a better start.
It doesn't really matter what Glavine ends up doing in his new role as a special assistant to club president John Schuerholz. What matters more is that the Braves, who have long prided themselves on getting along well with their best players, are now back on good terms with one of the best pitchers they've ever had.
At today's official announcement, Schuerholz called Glavine "one of the real special players in the history of the Atlanta Braves," according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution .
Glavine, always interesting as a player, should be a natural as a part-time team broadcaster. It sounds like his new job is going to be somewhat open-ended, which is perfect for a player who is retiring at age 43 and naturally isn't yet sure what he wants to do with the rest of his life.
We all know what Glavine has done with his life to this point. He retires as the fourth winningest left-hander of all time, with his 305 wins ranking behind only Warren Spahn, Steve Carlton and Eddie Plank (and two ahead of fellow retiree Randy Johnson).
He played a huge part in establishing the Braves' modern tradition, arriving in Atlanta when the team was still a loser in 1987, and staying through 12 straight division titles and five trips to the World Series (with one title).
He left for the Mets, then returned, and tried to last one more year. I remember talking to Glavine in spring training last year, and again at Citi Field when he was on the way to what he thought would be one of his final rehab assignments before coming back to the big leagues. It was easy to root for Glavine to make it back, even as you wondered whether coming back for another year was really the right thing for him or for the Braves.
It was less than a month later that the Braves released Glavine (on the same night that Johnson got his 300th win). They thought that what he showed in the minor leagues wasn't good enough to win in the big leagues. He didn't agree.
It seemed to be the right decision, but at the same time it seemed all wrong, given the way it drove a wedge between the team and one of its biggest all-time stars. The same could be said of the Braves' negotiations with Smoltz a few months earlier, which resulted in Smoltz bolting for the Red Sox.
And the same can be said about the often-testy relationship between Cox and general manager Frank Wren, which resulted in plenty of speculation before Cox announced that he would return for one final season in 2010.
Cox and the organization seem to be on good terms now. And this week, just before the Glavine announcement, Smoltz told the Journal-Constitution that he would be open to returning to the Braves -- as a pitcher.
It's almost always hard for a great player to say good-bye. It's especially tough when his team feels the need to tell him his time is up.
And it's nice when everything eventually works out.
For Tom Glavine, that now seems to be the case.
A week before spring training, the Braves already have their first win of 2010.

Glavine '75-85 percent confident' he'll be back
NEW YORK -- In spring training, Tom Glavine was pretty sure he'd make it back from surgery. Then he felt pain in his left shoulder while swinging a bat in what was to be his final rehabilitation start, and he was pretty sure he'd never make it back.
And what about now?
"I'm 75-85 percent confident I'll get out there," the 43-year-old Braves lefty said today at Citi Field.
Glavine has thrown two bullpen sessions, including a 90-pitch workout Friday in Philadelphia. He has an even more intense session scheduled for Wednesday morning, then figures he'll need two rehabilitation starts in the minors before possibly joining the Braves rotation during a May 25-27 series in San Francisco.
Perhaps because of the earlier setback, or simply because he's 43, Glavine said he's not trying not to look too far ahead.
"I'm more prone to living in the moment than at any point in my career," Glavine said. "I feel confident. I'm just more realistic to the possibility that it might not happen."
Glavine said he still doesn't know what caused the earlier setback.
"They can't tell if I just tore some scar tissue adhesions or if I aggravated my rotator cuff," he said. "Maybe it was something that needed to go a little bit."

Braves expected to trade Teixeira
The Braves are now determined to trade Mark Teixeira, and the biggest question now is where he'll end up.
Arizona remains a real possibility, and the Diamondbacks are believed to have offered a package led by Chad Tracy. Atlanta has asked for the Diamondbacks to include either Max Scherzer or Jarrod Parker -- Arizona's top two pitching prospects -- but that's unlikely.
Meanwhile, the Braves say they have other teams interested, with GM Frank Wren telling Dave O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he has deals (plural) on the table for Teixeira, and that he's holding off because he still wants to see if he can do better. The Braves are expecting to narrow the field on Tuesday, although it's possible that it could take until right up to the Thursday 4 p.m. deadline before a trade is completed.
Other teams that have been interested in Teixeira are the Red Sox, and also the two Los Angeles teams. It's not known if there are more teams involved now, but the Rays and the Yankees have also been mentioned in the past.
Teixeira is a big-time hitter, and he's done his part this season with a .283 average, 20 home runs and 78 RBIs in 103 games. But the Braves are now 7 1/2 games out of first place (and 10 1/2 games back in the wild card). They've now put Chipper Jones and Tim Hudson on the DL, joining John Smoltz and Tom Glavine, and it appears that Hudson is going to join Smoltz in the done-for-the-season category.
Not only that, but the Braves have known for a long time that they weren't going to be able to sign Teixeira, a free-agent-to-be, at the end of the season. It's pretty obvious now that the offers they have (not to mention the improved ones they might receive by Thursday) will be more valuable than the two draft picks they'd get by simply keeping Teixeira and letting him walk.
As one Braves person said last week: "The only thing more iffy than a prospect is a draft pick."
So Teixeira is gone, or at least he will be by Thursday. The question still to be answered is where he's going.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at PPG in May 2013.
For many positions, you are hired as a contractor anymore. And depending on the position, the contract length varies tremendously. You will possibly be interviewed twice. First time, with a group of 4-5 people. General skills, education, professional experiences will be assessed. The second interview will be more specific to job function - if you get the second, you get the job. The management is extremely fair and open minded, oriented to solutions and quality as well as safety.

Doctor's license revoked for role in kickback scheme
Published: February 7,2013
Tags: court, doctor, Emergency Room, health care, hospital, kickback, law, legal, licence, medical, medicine, physician, revoke
GREENVILLE — The Delta Regional Medical Center in Greenville is looking for a new emergency room doctor after Dr. Robert Corkern's medical license was revoked.
Corkern was sentenced last fall to two years' house confinement and three years' post-release supervision for his role in a medical kickback scheme. Corkern pleaded guilty to bribing a former Panola County administrator to use public funds as part of his earnest money to buy Tri-Lakes Medical Center in Batesville in 2005.
The Delta Democrat Times reports the Mississippi State Board of Medical Licensure revoked Corkern's license on Jan. 24.
Corkern had worked as an independent contractor in DRMC's emergency room since February of 2012.
DRMC CEO J. Stansel Harvey says Corkern is no longer on the staff.
"DRMC has been fully aware that this outcome was likely, and we have made adjustments to continue the progress that has been demonstrated over the past year," Harvey said.
Harvey previously said the hospital administration was aware of Corkern's personal legal matter when they chose to hire him but said Corkern's personal legal issues had no bearing on his practice of medicine.
Prosecutors say Corkern used Kaizen Inc., a nonprofit consulting entity owned by then-hospital administrator Ray Shoemaker, to facilitate the purchase in 2005.
Cockern testified last year at the trial of Shoemaker and co-defendant Earnest Levi Garner, a Batesville businessman, that then-Panola County Administrator David Chandler informed him of $400,000 of hospital-owned money in county custody and agreed to transfer it to the hospital but that Chandler threatened to ruin the hospital unless Corkern paid him $25,000.

As the Marine Corps' lone full-time community-of-interest manager, Gillis went well beyond his job description of encouraging communication among the community-of-interest's members and providing a focus for their professional development.
He also initiated projects such as an analysis of the community's workforce, a reorganization of its local representative structure and development of standardized information technology position descriptions. Those efforts, among others, have led to a better understanding of the Marine Corps' IT community and helped the Command, Control, Communications and Computers Department tackle staffing issues.
"Community managers who work the way he has [have] become significant force multipliers," said Robert Carey, the Navy Department's chief information officer.

XTA gives you extra, says Pooch
Nu metal rap rockers Linkin Park unleashed their third studio album Minutes to Midnight in May 2007. It sold more than 600,000 copies in the first week and went straight to the top of
the Billboard 200 Charts. However, as their current world tour reminds us, Linkin Park are also a phenomenal live act â and has XTA very much at the heart of their sensational sound.
Linkin Parkâs tour began back in January 2007 and is scheduled to run until January 2009. They headline Projekt Revolution at the UKâs Milton Keynes Bowl on 29 June 2008 and are expected to take in some of this summerâs key European festivals, before jetting off to Canada and the US.
The band has been playing sell-out shows to around 15,000 fans a night, although at larger venues in Asia, for example, the crowd has swelled to a whopping 40,000.
The PA design includes a big front hang of Adamson Y18s and T21 subs, while the side hangs consist of Y10s and Spektrix. But the variation in venue size means that a massive amount of this equipment needs to be carried â 24 Adamson Y18s, 16 T21 subs, 48 Y10s, as well as 28 Spektrix boxes.
The man responsible for Linkin Parkâs incredible live sound is none other than legendary FOH engineer, Ken âPoochâ Van Druten. He is no stranger to full on rock, having engineered KISS for many years, and knows full well that XTA will give him just what he needs. For Linkin Park, he is using nine XTA DP448s and two DP224s to process the loudspeaker system and he is clearly a big fan of XTA. âI have used XTA crossovers and EQs for years, for many different bands,â? he reveals. âIt always works well.
âI have used different types of processors from all around the world. But XTA always sounds the best. The combination of XTA processors, Lab.gruppen amplifiers and Adamson transducers is my dream PA â it just sounds fantastic!â?
So what does Pooch like most about XTA products? âThe way they sound,â? he says. âThatâs all Iâm interested in. The band has no idea what gear Iâm using to make them sound good. They trust me completely. And if Iâve made the choice to use it, then they know theyâre getting the best.â?
Linkin Parkâs fans also know good sound quality when they hear it. Some have even created websites dedicated to the celebrated Linkin Park sound â lplive.net is a good example.
Fans also leave comments on Poochâs personal blog (poochblog.evilentertainment.net). For example, on 28 February 2008, Astat wrote: âI'd just like to say I appreciate all the work you do,
the live recordings. You mix sound awesome and have actually gotten better with time.â?
The Linkin Park Minutes To Midnight World Tour will continue to use the DP448s and DP224s until 2009. Beyond that, XTA will be the vital tool for the systems that Pooch designs for his other clients.
About DP448
With two or four fully balanced inputs and up to eight fully balanced outputs, the 4 Series set a new
standard in terms of performance, flexibility and ease of use. The DP448, in line with the rest of the series, has a completely new processing platform, running at a native sample rate of 96kHz. This provides a bandwidth of over 30kHz and a dynamic range in excess of 116dB. The range uses
high-performance, 24-bit converters on the inputs and outputs.
