Davis was astute to devote his career primarily to acting. Granted, Purlie Victorious has its moments, and enough comic energy to sustain its farcical context -- a cartoonish version of '50s Georgia cotton country -- but the play is so formulaic in its situations, and so contrived in its plot, that it now seems rooted more in theatrical convention than in any real history. Nominally about the lamentable conditions of black sharecroppers in the segregated South, it might as well be about saving the damsel in distress and her ranch from the evil machinations of Snidely Whiplash (complete, in the person of "Ol' Cap'n Cotchipee," with sinister mustache). Here we have villains and innocents, heroes and fools, and it's no undue strain on the audience to distinguish each from the other.
As the play begins, an itinerant preacher (full name: Purlie Victorious Judson) has returned from Alabama to his childhood home in Georgia, determined to open an integrated church dedicated to a down-home version of liberation theology. But even a church needs a stake. And to get his, which he hopes to use to buy a broken-down chapel, Purlie (Werner Richmond) has decided to con $500 out of "Ol' Cap'n" (Rick Walter), who years ago bullwhipped him off the plantation. Purlie's shill is Lutibelle Gussiemae Jenkins (Chandra Hawkins), an ingenuous and love-struck choir girl who came with Purlie from Alabama and has agreed to impersonate his long-departed cousin, the heiress to a very small fortune ($500) held in trust by the Cap'n. Purlie's co-conspirators include his no-nonsense sister Missy (BeBe Wilson) and, more reluctantly, Missy's no-count husband, who is also the Cap'n's favorite cotton-picker, Gitlow Judson (Kirk Dautrive).
Meanwhile, up at the big house, in counterpoint to these cotton-hand comic types, are the thoroughly unreconstructed Cap'n and his unreliable allies, among them his kind-hearted son, Charlie (Brian Hill), who is suspected of creeping integrationism, and the loyal, hard-working but free-thinking cook, Idella (Shirley Marks Whitmore). When Purlie's plan inevitably goes awry (Lutibelle can't quite keep up her masquerade) and the Cap'n swears vengeance, it's readily apparent that the old boy will be outflanked and betrayed by those closest to him.
Although there are the usual slapstick gags about baseball bats and bullwhips, in this cartoon version of segregation little of consequence is really at stake. There are no sheriffs with dogs at the ready, no night riders burning crosses and people. The play's sympathies embrace a cheerfully sentimental vision of integration, culminating in a church service updated by the company to include an invigorating jazz-choral version of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" oration that gathers in the audience. It's definitely a dream with a happy ending, from a time long ago, and a place far away.
On the Ensemble's arena stage, scenic designer Karen Hoffman has ingeniously managed to suggest a rustic tenant shack, commissary and chapel in a single set. The director, Ladjamaya, pushes her charges at the frenetic pace the material requires, but often at a pitch that could be taken down several pegs, particularly in the case of Chandra Hawkins' relentlessly hysterical Lutibelle. Werner Richmond's Purlie begins a bit stiffly but ingratiates as the evening wears on, and Richmond does justice to the reverend's grand perorations in the second act. He is ably supported by BeBe Wilson as the indomitable Missy and Kirk Dautrive as the shiftless Gitlow (so named to allow Missy's line, "How low can you git, Gitlow?"). Rick Walter is sufficiently over the top as the blowhard Cap'n, and Brian Hill suitably obsequious as his too-liberal son. As the bemused and world-weary cook Idella Landry, Shirley Marks Whitmore comes as close as possible to playing the material as it really feels, 33 years on: a period farce, as wistfully recalled as a sentimental tune.
It would be interesting to know what the playwright himself thinks of his youthful endeavor, from the perspective of another generation of American history. Purlie belongs to a world that, in retrospect at least, seems much simpler than our own, and its gentle optimism rests on a willed conviction that racial harmony was just around the corner. That dream has been too long in coming true.

Space Weather: Storms from the Sun
Once upon a time, back in the twentieth century, the weather was straightforward: it rained or snowed, skies were sunny or cloudy. However, in the twenty-first century—the era of globalization and digitalization—a whole new kind weather is critical to consider: space weather.
Space weather is direct product of our local star, the Sun. The Sun continuously sheds its skin, blowing a fierce wind of charged particles in all directions, including Earth's. From time to time, storms on the Sun's surface—solar flares, coronal mass ejections—toss off added masses of energy and ions. When that turbulence slams into Earth, it produces space weather. The consequences can be spectacular, from colorful auroras to satellite, power and communications failures.
Space weather isn't new: the Sun has buffeted Earth with solar particles since the planet first formed. What has changed is society. This feature reveals how our increasing use of satellite technology has made us vulnerable to solar storms, and how solar scientists—"space weathermen"—are learning how to predict and forecast the Sun's activity.

Another two Mammillarias with NOID.
M. baumii, M. bolii, M. glassii???
Number 1 looks like a young mamm. camptotricha to me.
#2 is Mamm. / Dolichothele baumii.
For the #2, looking for close to the ground Mammillarias, I found these: M. kraehenbuehlii, M. laui and M. surculosa.
And for # 1 I think it is M. glassii
Ok, Alfonso, you may be right with # 2 = Mamm. glassii.
Does # 1 has hooked central spines?
I am going to check it, and I made a mistake with the numbers
Yes it has long hooked central spines.
I am not in my computer right now, so I wil post again
G'day Alfonso, I think #1 is M. surculosa, and #2 is M. glassii.
I looked at this post last night, which sent me off to find some pics, I found this one of surculosa when it first flowered but no glassii.
Cheers, CP
Well, I stay with M. surculosa for #1 and for #2 I have a new picture with tiny white flowers. Does it happens with M. glassi?, I found only images with pink flowers, but the body is like M. glassi ssp glassi
M. glassii can have very very pale pink flowers, but I don't think they are ever pure white. Hint of pink, anyone?

mismatched socksby Marianne Wakerlin $17.00

You've Met Your Mismatch
These cozy, colorful socks are a perfect mismatch: Sharing the same hues and the same pattern, each sock exchanges colors for a chromatically congruous take on the classic case of mismatched socks. The color arrangements will vary for each sock. Really...life's too short for matching socks. Knit and hand finished in Vermont by Marianne Wakerlin. The yarns are recycled cotton, dyed without the use of harmful chemicals.
Due to the recycled nature of this item, each is unique and will vary.

Marianne Wakerlin
Marianne Wakerlin, the Socklady is the founder and owner of Solmate Socks. The company is named after her mom, Sunny, who taught Marianne how to knit when she was nine years old. Marianne continued a life long enthusiasm for knitting, but it wasn't until she started knitting socks that her real passion was born.
Within a few years Marianne had knit over one hundred pairs of socks for family and friends, and she decided to turn her hobby into a business. Her colorful and complex patterns are knit in the USA at a family owned knitting mill, hand finished and then "mismatched with care."
Crafted with care in the USA from recycled cotton. Her yarns are created by recovering the scraps from the production of other cotton products, mainly t-shirts. All of the little cotton scraps are gathered together and ground up so that they can be re-spun into "new" yarn. The yarns are then knit into her colorful socks. These recycled yarns are certified to be free from harmful substances (i.e. toxins like formaldehyde), made with respect for the environment and with respect for human rights.
The company is run in a small town in central Vermont, where the Socklady and all her helpers are surrounded and inspired by the woods, brook, gardens and hills of the countryside. collection

It is ridiculous to claim this leak will cause any real damage. For the most part I believe the assessments to be fair. The real damage will be to the reputation of the US diplomatic service when it is revealed how they look down on their 'allies' and everybody else with an air of superiority.
This outcry reminds me of my youth in communist Bulgaria when everything was a 'state secret'. You see, the government was only trying to protect us from all kinds of dangers we didn't even know existed. During the cold war the US were champions of transparency by pressing repressive regimes everywhere to open up and allow open public debate.
Please stop perpetuating the 'sensitive state secrets' fallacy.
A leak can be fixed and monitored,but a flood is too much and will have little effect.Imagine collecting wine from a dripping barrel and drinking it when no eyes are watching and contrast it with barrels bursting open and flooding,no one would want to touch the wine that will hit the gutter soon.
One thing appears clear that diplomats are not all that smart as they are imagined to be.They all seem to be no better than clerks who simply send reports and stop at that.In the movies and novels, mostly American, we always see coding as a standard practice and there are crackers.These are serious stuff relating to national and even global security.In the real world Americans have been no different from their allies and friends in making statements and off the cuff remarks.
Most of the contents of the leaks do not constitute stated and practiced policies of any of the nations now getting exposed.The glorified clerks "diplomats" shot their mouth off with their counter parts at the control center while making clerical reports.The problem is they could never have imagined the results of an expose.
Freedom of the press,transparency,disclosure et all looks great when it involves dealings of by and between the States.There are sensitivities and one should not forget that several of these nations and states have fought several ugly wars and are always focusing on more and more effective and lethal arms piling under the garb of defense which could quickly turn to offence with the excuse of preemptive strike.
It is utterly irresponsible to put nations at loggerhead using communications and exchanges that have nothing to do with policies and strategies.
Like all waves this will also die down and the world will be more careful in protecting sensitive data that has no relevance to the public who are safe because of the sensitivity with which issues are handled by responsible States.If we give credence to the leaks,then we are implying every Nation as being a Rogue State.
How nice it would be to see the cable instructing cybercriminals to start DoS attack on WikiLeaks' website. I wonder who could be the signatory?
Some people seem to suggest that Mr. Assange has ulterior motives, or that his goals are unworthy or that he is not morally sound. All that is just hogwash. It does not in the least diminish the value of his accomplishment which is a clarion call to free speech and transparency for government, two significant virtues that obviously are given no more than tiresome lip-service by the factotums who rule supposedly in our name. That some of these lickspittles are embarrassed by their own words is preposterous, the keystone characteristic of the political class is shamelessnes.
To me, the main thing this debate has exposed is not shocking diplomatic exchanges, but rather a major distinction between those who are "in the know" and those who are not, or "the general public" as they are often referred to. The author describes this in the piece too: "But the experts also miss a larger point: they themselves are part of the elite inner-circle that Wikileaks wants to break open so that Everyman can judge for himself." There is indeed a very elitist tone in almost every article written about the latest Wikileaks, and this opinion piece carries on that pattern. The gist I get from all this analysis of the Wikileaks incident is this: "How are we privileged highly educated folk supposed to handle all these people who don't understand how the world works?" This and most other articles about Wikileaks approach the issue as if they are the parents of their children, "the general public," and these said children just found out that their pet rabbit didn't really run away to live with his friends in the forest.
Those who are not "in the know" are human just like everybody else; they will see the Wikileaks, be upset about some of the revelations in the documents, and then either do something about it, get over it, or: accept it as most of those "in the know" have as "the way the world works."
It seems as if there is an understanding between those who fall under the category of experts and extensively educated (which I will simply refer to as those "in the know" from here on) and those who still fall under that category but *are* the actual diplomats. What troubles me is the acceptance of certain diplomatic exchanges by those "in the know" who are observers with no involvement in these state matters. I suppose that could branch off to an entirely different subject about realism versus idealism, and the compromises one must make to become a part of this "in the know" circle; an excellent extensive education isn't free. And perhaps these observers who are "in the know" therefore have a feeling of sympathy and an understanding of the cutthroat environment that "Stuki" (penname in comments) mentioned. Perhaps these people have too much to lose from taking a more controversial stance of actually not accepting that "this is how the world works."
I do agree that most of the cables leaked so far are not surprising. The word "diplomacy" stems from the Greek root "diploos" afterall, which means twofold. But there are certain cables that I wish more people would make a fuss about, such as the revealed attempts to cover up the realities of the events at Guantanamo Bay (Madrid 000392, Madrid 000347), rather than the gossip about the Italian Prime Minister.
The author states, "In a world of WikiLeaks, diplomacy would no longer be possible." This particular sentence especially resonates with something French diplomat Jules Cambon wrote: "The day secrecy is abolished, negotiation of any kind will become impossible." Obviously "the day secrecy is abolished" can be equated to Wikileaks today. As the author points out, however, "the damage that America's diplomatic service has suffered is partly the result of sloppy practices." With the Internet, everybody should have seen this coming, and we should not expect it to stop any time soon, if not ever. Everybody should learn to live with the realities of the capabilities of the Internet, and I think that is just what will happen. I do not believe they are naïve enough to go on with said sloppy practices after the Wikileaks incident. The same goes for those managing Wikileaks: Just as the people scrutinizing the Wikileaks clearly aren't stupid, those managing Wikileaks are also not stupid. I think that they likely have a feel for which documents would "put lives in danger," as so many are worried they will do. For example, if Wikileaks were to gain access to information detailing the suspected whereabouts of Osama bin Laden, I highly doubt they would release such a document. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if there are some documents they already plan on keeping private- but then again I'd be surprised if the State Department managed to let actual significant information like that slip; I have a feeling they've got a good hold on the real secrets.
The Economist writes :"In a world of WikiLeaks, diplomacy would no longer be possible". What it actually means: " we won't be able to keep making bullshit statements in front of the cameras and bully you in the backroom".
Get over yourself: WikiLeaks revelations" are only a shock to the Economist. Most of the public had no illusions as to what really happens off record. The US thinks Russia is a Mafia state? Wow...shocker.
The "Special Relationship: only exists in the heads of the journalists working for the Economist...Oh my God, really ? This is no big deal and yes, we, the dumb public not Oxbridge educated crwod can handle it. It 's the elites that can't.
I disagree with the article. WikiLeaks is performing a public service by releasing this material via the newspapers which are dealing with the redaction of names etc.
However it is appalling that the US Government had this material on a system that was accessible by over 3m government employees. That either means that the material is not really sensitive at all, or that the people who take the access rights decisions are stupid.
What if... these leaks are planned?
Maybe a bit paranoid, but most "facts" stated in the files are obvious. I even read an article from a well known british journalist who stated that he now was more impressed of US foreign policy than before.
Also, many documents are supporting US strategy against Iran and some other countries by spreading fear.
Just a paranoid thought.
As a former diplomat in the Canadian Foreign Service, I can confirm that nothing since the 18th Century involving diplomatic cables or transfers of information really initiates, influences or changes anything in the world any more.
Diplomats no longer make or contribute much to Foreign Policy of a nation or its citizens anymore. Only Presidents, Prime Ministers, Kings/Queens and Cabinet members do. Diplomats advise governments. Diplomats are merely the official postmen of the 21st Century, passing on tidbits of self-importance, opinion and comments for the shredding machine, living off tax and duty free salaries abroad, massive civil service perquisites that no ordinary person enjoys and generally feather their own nests first, not last.
They are no longer "Ambassadors Extraordinaire et Plenipotenciare, or Your Humble and Obedient Servants", but just plain civil servants with very little power, role, or input into policy or action on the global stage any more.
That role is carried out and enjoyed primarily by business people who produce the real goods and services for international trade and investment, and a few extremely senior politicians and royalty in various countries that still control the wealth, status and power of their markets and populations within their countries.
If there is anything really important to preserve as an official government "SECRET" anymore, it is done in direct face-to-face contact between principals only, or sent in diplomatic pouches with secure couriers.
Present day electronic media in every form (even encrypted satellite telephones) are for public interruption, hacking, exposure and dissemination by individual or the media, for their own purposes.
No fool in business would ever send his trade secrets over a leaky government network comprised of civil servants with no interest in improving the lives or trade of ordinary citizens.

I do like the comments 'cause they do not like the message of the article )))
I strongly disagree with the message.
The author says: "In fact diplomacy's never-ending private conversation ultimately helps see off war and strife". How many World Wars, European wars, local conflicts experienced the World in the Golden Age of diplomacy? Hello, Capitain Obvious!
Also "Those who pass information to American diplomats, out of self-interest, conviction or goodwill, will be less open now" and implys that it is bad. I really doubt.
What diplomacy is associated with? With dirt, embarrassments, half-truth, intrigue, bribery, treachery etc. These phenomena are considered categorically bad in the relations of common people. Why should they be considered good in the relations of peoples and their representatives?
And, not recognising the moment your preferred system ceases to be the best one around, you will be fanatically promoting tyranny.
Your recent series of articles about WikiLeaks are disturbing. My very brief, and hence partly stated, perception of The Economist's long-held point-of-view is: a) That the free-market democracy as practiced in the US and UK, and to a lesser extent other English-speaking and some European nations, is the best system human beings have devised so far; and b) That this system must be defended and disseminated, through war if necessary, and it is moral to discredit or eliminate alternative systems. One does not have to agree with this point-of-view to appreciate the intellectual consistency and integrity with which The Economist has resolutely pushed it for more than a century. However, when consistency and resolve degenerate into fanaticism, any freedom-loving person would be disturbed. In the name of diplomacy, you are fanatically siding with secrecy and obfuscation as opposed to freedom and transparency. Defending your preferred system when that system betrays its own ideals is at best propaganda and at worst hypocrisy that promotes tyranny. Stay on this course and you will be indistinguishable from what you scoff at: Islamist, Chinese, Soviet, or Nazi propaganda.
As your article says the old world order has changed - and for good. Wikileaks is another example of how the web is changing global communication - in this case journalism.
One aspect you did not stress is that the current "revelations" have been made possible only with an extraordinary collaboration between Wikileaks and Der Spiegel in Germany, The Guardian in England and the New York Times.( something AlexMelbourne does not seem to understand)
It is they collectively who are deciding what information is released and when.
At the "input "end of Wikileaks the wonderful thing for the whistleblower of course is that they can choose anonymity - the bugbear of "old" investigative journalism and protecting your source.
In years to come this will be studied as a textbook case of how the web has changed our world and the links forged between "old" & new media.
By then Wikileaks will probably have a Nobel prize.
The problem is not that the information filters, the problem is that the governments and many companies are corrupt and that should change, not the way to hide the crimes, but the way of working.
Firstly, secrecy (and also privacy) is a device to appear as one thing when you are really another thing. Secondly, all world governments, and most of the world's institutions (including FIFA) are corrupt. It is the way of mankind, and it is blatant in some places and less blatant, but no less endemic, in others. In Africa they do as they please. In the US they buy their elections and their supreme court judges and then they do as they please, under the cover of "legality". It amounts to the same thing - money goes from our pockets into theirs...
Secondly, governments and corporations are devices designed by the people to bring a benefit to the people. Those in government and business have forgotten this.
Thirdly, the Swedish prosecutor dismissed the rape case out of hand... ...only to be overruled a few days later by someone with greater authority - the Chief Prosecutor being then described as a "lower official". Assange's lawyer said on Australia's ABC news this morning that the Swedish prosecutor was acting outside Swedish law - I imagine his lawyer is correct, since he will be defending Assange in any extradition hearing which takes place.
It is not too much of a stretch to imagine that the USA wants to extradite Assange to face terrorism charges, and has leaned on Sweden (and perhaps bribed the Swedish government) to extradite him to Sweden on trumped up charges so that they can then extradite him to the US. Why Sweden? Who knows - some vagary in bilateral arrangements? Less public interest than there might be in Britain?
They would be foolish to do so - else they make a martyr out of him. They would be even more foolish to arrange for his rendition to Egypt for a spot of torture before flying him to Guantanamo. But they are foolish, so they might.
We already know the Americans are morally bankrupt. It seems clear that the Swedish government is similarly blemished - you may not need to read another reader's comment that the Swedes provided succour and support to the nazis during WW-II under the guise of neutrality to work that out.
And the British government? Blair, foolish man, believed Bush, foolish man, when the American arms manufacturers, via their poodle in the VP's office, settled on a nice easy war in Iraq to make a quick quid and secure a few oil wells. Well, ok, a lot of oil wells... Britain and the US are an axis - not for good, as they would have us believe, but for influence and wealth: "Rather in our pockets than Putin's". I thought it telling when a British official declared the Iraq war a success because of all the contracts Britain had secured...
It is all sick-making. But the Wikileaks stuff is riveting...
ps: ... can't wait for the stuff on "America's Largest Bank" to hit the streets. And I, for one, won't be satisfied until ALL THE SECRETS ARE OUT.
The very thought that Julian Assange (or anyone else) thinks that he alone is qualified to be the moral arbiter of what the public should know is a very frightening thought. Particularly given his paranoid elusiveness and reluctance to make the facts of his life known. While we may all wish to be hackers, a hacker is by and large someone who steals what someone else owns. Additionally, by knowing eliciting and accepting stolen 'goods' is in itself a criminal activity. Whatever the greater good, we cannot rely on people like Assange to make those moral decisions on our behalf and to behave as the flag bearers of what we should know and not know. There are intended and unintended consequences to what Assange has facilitated, some good, some bad. Private communications should remain private unless they need to be accessed to prevent or prosecute crimes. What does Assange believe to be appropriate to be made known? Will he stop at companies? Will he publish private commutations between individuals? He clearly thinks he can decide what should and should no be made available, and all based on his moral compass, something which is itself is affected by his moral shortcomings. He has started something that individuals cannot challenge and rectify. And in the event of damages, individuals cannot seek legal remedies. I am certain that he has transgressed numerous privacy laws. Having said all this, I would love to see all illicit dealings and decisions by governments, organisations, companies, and individuals made public. I just do not believe that Mr Assange and his cohorts are the right people to make these decisions on our behalf. If he has something that he believes indicates illicit activity, he should submit it to the courts to decide.
The most galling aspect of this entire affair is that all this was apparently done by a BUCK PRIVATE in the US Army.
I do hope that some of his commanding officers will be invited to seek employment in the private sector, preferably something which suits their talents of wilful negligence.
I understand Wal-mart is always on the lookout for shop floor staff.
Totally agree. These cyber caracters that feel they have the right to do what they wish make me very angry as we have no say in the matter before it is a fact. That may be free press but it is certainly not democratic. Alan Mackenzie Santiago Chile

Microsoft Blocking Wine Users From Downloads Site 895
from the they-could-use-some dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
In this case, Microsoft is denying giving Wine users the stuff Windows users have paid for (unless they download it via Windows.) I think that's different. It's a simple case of "You don't get a free gift unless you're our customer."
Slightly more complicated.
"You don't get a free gift unless you're our recent customer."
It's another prod towards the apathetic that would be content to use Windows 95.
Microsoft may have the right to refuse Windows upgrade downloads, but why do they refuse downloads of "productivity" apps like MS Office suite? As long as the software application is duly licensed, what right does Microsoft have to force the user to run it under "Genuine Windows" only?
They've realised that other crackers (not employed by MS) were using it too much, so they are now making it so only they can take over your machine with ActiveX. Makes perfect sense to me.
BTW, I'm being totally serious.
Aside: Funny the way even Microsoft-worshipping sysadmins (I'm not saying that's you and I'm not using "worshipping" lightly) often use GNU/Linux to get MSW installed.
What do you need MSW for? I'm sure people can suggest alternatives.This sort of shit is I yearn for the day when everything I need and do on Windows can be seamlessly handled by some other OS.
Then WINE users should get their updated library file from winehq.org [winehq.org], and not rely on microsoft to provide free functionality for their own competitors.To my knowledge WINE is an emulator for windows, so that windows programs may be run without purchasing windows.
On the flipside, I wonder if this means that WINE has moved from the part where MS ignored them and will begin laughing at them.
You have to figure that MS bought Connectix for their virtualization technology so that they could actually dump backwards compatibility from the core OS and just use limited virtualization for better backward compatibility. At the same time by dumping all that cruft from the core OS, they can make the OS something more advanced. XP was a pretty big leap from Win2K in that direction (dropping support for CPUs below P II for example). I would have to guess that Longhorn is going to be an even bigger jump which is why it's taking so long.
... `till WINE won't run.
Good old Microsoft.
Same as it ever was.
When I run the validation program on my genuine Win2k system, I get the message saying a validation code couldn't be found because of technical difficulties or because I'm running an unsupported operating system. When using IE and thus the ActiveX control there is no problem and my Windows is recognized as genuine. Looks to me the standalone validation program is seriously broken....
"You see, you have this mat, with different CONCLUSIONS written on it that you could JUMP TO."
But please flame me if I'm wrong;)
Make it right before you make it faster.

|On the HOF ballot for a 13th time, Morris received 53.5 percent of the vote last year. (Getty Images)
The Hall of Fame election isn't like other elections.
It's not about judging candidates against each other. It's about setting a standard, and then judging every candidate against that standard.
There are 10 spots on the ballot. It's been years since I needed that many.
It's not Barry Larkin or Alan Trammell, because I can vote for both. Or for neither.
A year ago, it was neither. This year, it's both.
|More on Hall of Fame
|Related links
And yes, you're due an explanation.
Trammell's numbers are the same as they were last year. Larkin's too.
Trammell gets no extra credit for his work as bench coach on a Diamondbacks team that made a surprising run to the playoffs. Larkin didn't become a better candidate because of his work on TV.
Players don't stay on the ballot for a maximum of 15 years because their qualifications change. They stay there because the way we judge those qualifications can change.
Sometimes that happens because people judge stats differently. That's why Bert Blyleven finally won election last year (although without my vote).
This year, I'm changing for a different reason. I'm switching because I looked at my ballot and decided my bar for admission was just slightly too high, and needed adjusting.
A year ago, after eliminating steroid-tainted candidates for reasons I won't repeat here (but that you're welcome to read here), my ballot had just two names: Roberto Alomar and Jack Morris.
Alomar got in, with 90 percent of the votes (75 percent is the minimum needed for election). Morris didn't, with 53.5 percent.
There are 13 first-time names on the ballot this year. I don't see any of them as having Hall of Fame credentials.
And I'm not ready to change my steroid policy yet (although I do plan to review it every year).
Given all that, I realized soon after Alomar's election that I'd be faced with two choices: Turn in a ballot with only Morris' name checked, or recalibrate the bar for what I consider to be a Hall of Famer.
And I was faced with this question: In the era represented by all the players on the ballot (basically anyone retired for five-plus years and not in the Hall yet), am I really saying that only one more player deserves to get in?
By lowering the bar just slightly -- but not more than that -- I could include Trammell and Larkin, two outstanding players with fine Hall of Fame resumes that I found just slightly wanting in the past. By lowering it just a little more, I could also consider voting for players like Edgar Martinez and Tim Raines.
Fine players, all of them. Outstanding players, even.
But do they belong in the Hall of Fame, which should be reserved for the best of the best?
In the end, I said yes on Larkin and Trammell, no (for now) on the rest.
My ballot this year had three names checked: Larkin, Trammell and Morris.
As always, that doesn't mean I hate the others or think that they weren't good players. The line between very good and great has to be drawn somewhere, and I choose to draw it very high -- but just a tiny bit lower than I did last year.
I'm happy to finally vote for Trammell, who I've known well for more than 20 years, and who I like and respect. Because of that, he was always the hardest name for me to leave off my ballot.
I also no longer need to answer the tough question that was always posed to me by Trammell's strongest supporters: "In the prime of their careers, would you have traded Alan Trammell for Ozzie Smith straight up?"
I'm happy to vote for Larkin, who I don't know nearly as well but also respect greatly.
It feels right to vote for Trammell and Larkin together, because they had such similar careers.
Trammell played 20 years for the Tigers, and never played for another team; Larkin played 19 seasons, all with the Reds.
Trammell could have (should have?) won the American League MVP in 1987, and was the World Series MVP in 1984; Larkin was the National League MVP in 1995 and hit .353 in his only World Series.
Larkin hit a few more career home runs (198, to Trammell's 185); Trammell had a few more RBI (1,003, to Larkin's 960).
I didn't feel comfortable voting for one without the other last year, and I left both of them off.
This year, I feel comfortable voting for both, along with Morris, who I have voted for in each of his 13 years on the ballot.
And with that, this year's ballot is done. On to next year, when Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Sammy Sosa and others join the list of eligibles, making the steroid question even more relevant.

Hiller's penalty save lifts Ducks
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP)
With high-scoring captain Ryan Getzlaf sidelined, strong goaltending's become a priority for the Anaheim Ducks. Jonas Hiller showed they're in capable hands.
Hiller stopped 39 shots, including all 19 he faced in the final period, to help the Ducks beat the Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks 2-1 on Sunday night.
''With Jonas, this isn't the first time he's stole a game,'' Anaheim coach Randy Carlyle said. ''We've come to kind of expect it.''
NHL's best of 2010It was a busy year on the ice in 2010. Check out the top hockey stories of the year and take a look at the images of 2010.
Andreas Lilja scored his first goal of the season, and Corey Perry broke a second-period tie for Anaheim. The Ducks won their third straight game and ran their home winning streak to four.
Hiller's been in goal in each game during the winning streak.
''He carried the load for us tonight,'' Perry said. ''He's the reason why we won this game.''
Bryan Bickell scored for Chicago, which couldn't muster a tying goal despite outshooting the Ducks 19-2 in the final period. The Blackhawks have lost three straight.
''If you play like that in the third period, you will be rewarded,'' Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said. ''But that is the way we have to start the game, and we have to play like that throughout.''
Perry made it 2-1 at 1:46 of the second on a snap shot. He leads the Ducks with 21 goals and 44 points.
''If we play every night like we played tonight, we have a chance to win,'' Hiller said.
Both teams were missing their captains because of injuries sustained in games on Tuesday night.
Getzlaf took a puck to the face against Phoenix that resulted in multiple nasal fractures, while Chicago's Jonathan Toews missed his second game because of a right shoulder injury.
Perry, elevated to an alternate captain with Getzlaf sidelined, stepped up in the absence of his injured linemate to score his 16th point in the last 12 games.
''There's a lot of pressure everywhere,'' Perry said. ''A lot of guys have to step up at certain times in a game. (Getzlaf's) a big hole to fill without him in there. It's not going to be one guy, it's going to take a lot of guys to do it.''
Lilja opened the scoring at 10:32 into the first. Lilja faked before firing a slap shot from the point that goalie Corey Crawford appeared to lose sight of in heavy traffic in front of the net.
Chicago tied it with 1:52 left in the first on Bickell's 11th goal. Just after a power play expired, Hiller blocked Bickell's shot with his stick, only to then push it into the goal with the backside of the stick.
Teemu Selanne had a chance to give the Ducks a two-goal edge in the third period when he drew a penalty shot after being taken down by Patrick Kane on the break.
Selanne came up empty on the attempt, clanking the puck off the crossbar. It was his sixth career penalty shot, only one of which he's converted.
Chicago attempted to take advantage of the miscue, controlling the offensive zone late and nearly scoring the equalizer. But they couldn't figure out a way to solve Hiller.
''We kind of peppered Hiller there,'' Chicago forward Jack Skille said. ''He did his job and stood on his head there. He made a couple of big saves.''
Crawford, who returned after missing three games with an illness for Chicago, made 16 saves as Anaheim managed only 18 shots.
NOTES: Chicago appeared to score the tying goal in the third when Jack Skille's shot forced Hiller to reach back for a glove save right on the goal line. The play was originally ruled a no-goal, and a video review upheld the call. ... Hiller was struck on the helmet by the stick of teammate Andy Sutton early in the second. Play was stopped for a few moments as Hiller was examined by trainers. ... Toews skated prior to the game and could return Monday against Los Angeles.

JT Miller leads Rangers past Isles in second NHL game
Feb 7, 2013, 10:53 PM EDT
After the New York Rangers lost in his NHL debut on Tuesday, 19-year-old forward J.T. Miller played a big role their comeback Thursday night.
Miller got the Rangers on the board quickly by capitalizing on an Islanders' turnover. He had trouble controlling the puck, but was able to setup the shot with his foot and fire in a single motion.
You can watch his first NHL goal below:
"It was really nice to get it out of the way there," Miller said in a Blueshirts United report. "I was just trying to look past it because we had a lot of game left, so I just tried to keep plugging along."
Miller added another goal during a Rangers' power-play at 18:11 of the second period.
"He has some bite to him," Rangers coach John Tortorella commented, according to ESPN's Katie Strang.
Thanks in part to Miller's efforts, the Rangers went on to earn a 4-1 victory and improve to 5-5-0 this season.

We spent a morning with Vertical World for a first Canyoning experience. Great day, great coaches (Freddy and Vinc'). Very good teachers, patient and super fun. I really had a good day with my friends and it ended my holidays in Mauritius with an even bigger smile on my face.

Got stuck in morning traffic passing Port Louis - so the group had to wait for us. SORRY!!! Please choose the other, slightly longer, stretch of motorway if you are coming from the north and don't forget the mosquito repellent. However, we had a great day at the Tamarin Falls. Kids (14 and 16) absolutely loved it and it was...
Easy to do with a little bravery. Good tuition by staff and friendly atmosphere. Only downside was some of the equipment and safety procedures were below par compared to UK standard (I am a climbing inst). But we all lived and it was a great experience.
This is definitely something to experience whilst travelling in Mauritius. My family and I took at day trip to the tamarin falls, and we climbed all 7 waterfalls as well as being able to swim in the deep natural pools at the bottom of some. Do not expect this to be a quick activity as it took us 7 hours...
We only walked up the falls, stopping-off in about four for a swim. It took us seven hours all told though was probably the exciting highlight of our trip - indigenous plantlife, the birds, swimming in the fresh water ponds amongst the dragonflies and the fish and the views were spectacular.
We took the 45 min path to the hydro...
Despite being scared of heights, Krish instantly put me at ease and gave me every confidence to enable me to take part in this amazing activity. A truly memorable experience - thank you to the team at Vertical World!
A truely awesome experience and total thrill guaranteed. In the beginning it takes some courage but afterwards, the adrenaline level just goes up to a max.
Thanks for the team for the organisation and ensuring our security.
.. unless you're scared of heights! ... The views were spectacular, the guides professional and the experience amazing. Okay - so make sure you take proper footwear that can get wet and still give you good grip. That was my error. But despite struggling with my shoes, the zipwire at the end was well worth it.
Mauritius is much more...
A friend posted pics on facebook and I immediately wanted to do this when I would get to Mauritius. Very happy i saw those pics on fb! The people were so friendly and nice. The view magnificent(despite the drought). I'd definitely recommend Vertical World! :D
Very good experience... trip to be done with friends or famillies.. discover the nature with a boost of adrenaline during activities..

Typical Murdoch offering
A decent offering standing on its own but lacks the intensity and overall depth of other Murdoch writings. For a fan it is a must. 1st time Murdoch readers would be better served reading The Green Knight or the Black Prince. The 3 stars I give this title are based on my expectations of Murdoch's genius. You can't always write your best novel now can you.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.
