With wins a precious commodity, Pirates call on Cole
Pittsburgh trails St, Louis by two, while San Diego eyes fifth win in row
When the Pirates opened this week's series against the Padres, they were locked in a tie with the Cardinals for the top spot in the National League Central and were hoping to take over sole possession of first place during the four-game home set.
Now, entering Thursday's finale, the Pirates simply hope to get one win.
After San Diego won the first two games of the series, Pittsburgh appeared to be back on track through eight innings on Wednesday. However, a two-run top of the ninth gave the Padres a 3-2 lead and eventually their fourth consecutive win.
Although the Pirates are still just two games behind the Cardinals in the battle for the NL Central title, the third-place Reds are hot on their heels. And with a three-game series against Cincinnati beginning Friday, there's little room for error.
Looking to avoid the sweep, Pirates manager Clint Hurdle will turn to Gerrit Cole, who will hope to continue what has been the best month of his rookie season. The 23-year-old right-hander has gone 2-0 with a 1.35 ERA in three September starts, giving up no more than five hits and going at least six innings in each outing.
Cole was dominant for seven innings on Saturday, allowing one earned run and striking out seven in a 2-1 win over the Cubs. He also showed the ability to escape trouble, when he worked out of a one-out jam with runners on second and third in the seventh inning.
"It's about bending and not breaking, and it's about giving up a few hits and putting your foot down," Cole said. "You've just got to be tough out there, because you're not going to be perfect. You've just got to keep rolling with the punches and know when to duck and know when to punch back."
The Padres, whose postseason hopes faded long ago, will counter with right-hander Ian Kennedy. In his most recent start, Kennedy gave up two homers and three runs in six innings en route to a no-decision against the Braves.
The home runs were not a new problem for Kennedy, who came to San Diego from Arizona at the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline. Entering his 30th start of the season, Kennedy has given up 25 homers on the year, which is tied for the second most among all NL starters.
Thursday will mark Kennedy's second start against the Pirates this season, and he will hope for a repeat performance, as he limited Pittsburgh to four hits and three walks in seven shutout innings on Aug. 21.
"We feel as though Ian brings stability and a presence to our rotation that we needed," Padres manager Bud Black said after that start.
Pirates: Martin expected to sit out finale
After sitting out Wednesday's win over the Padres, Russell Martin isn't expected to return to the lineup on Thursday.
Martin hasn't missed two straight starts since early May, but with his average dropping and a pivotal series against the Reds looming, Hurdle wanted to give his catcher as much rest as possible.
"I want him ready for Cincinnati," Hurdle said. "No doubt, the grind behind the plate is challenging him in the batter's box. I want to give him the appropriate rest he needs to get back in balance."
Since he was batting .257 on Aug. 10, Martin's average has been on a steady decline, capped by an 0-for-4 effort on Tuesday that dropped his season mark to .229. In 12 games (44 plate appearances) this month, Martin has just four hits, one of which was a homer, and an RBI.
Despite his offensive struggles, Martin still provides plenty of value when he's in the game, according to Hurdle.
"On the average he's blocked 8-10 pitches a night, since Opening Day. The job he has done behind the plate has been a difference maker," Hurdle said. "It's hard to find another catcher who does as much dirt work as he's done. His work on dirt balls is so far ahead of everyone I've ever seen."
Padres: Alonso feels pain day after taking swings
Padres first baseman Yonder Alonso won't be in action on Thursday against the Pirates, but he hopes to take another shot at hitting after his last attempt left him in some pain.
Alonso injured his right hand on Aug. 30 and hasn't returned since. After an MRI exam found an inflamed tendon on Sept. 3, Alonso received an injection and eventually took some swings in the cage and hit off a tee on Monday.
"It was a bit sore the next day," Alonso said. "I've still got a little lump on my hand and swelling, so it's just a matter of letting it cool down for a little and continue the process again."
The Padres have just 11 games left to play, but Alonso hopes to be back before the season ends.
"It's been a very frustrating couple of weeks," he said. "Obviously, with the injury, but those are things you can't dwell on, you've got to think about the positive and the positive notes. I'm still trying to come back and I'm still trying to swing and it's not a shutdown season. I'm just going to continue to fight it."
Worth noting
• Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen has notched 28 multihit performances in 58 games played since the All-Star break.
• A loss Thursday would give the Pirates their second four-game losing streak of September after dropping four in a row on just three occasions prior to that this season.
• The Padres are looking for their first four-game series sweep of the season.

Marco Rubio's baptism: Liberals don't know what to do
Liberals pounced, saying that this was the young Florida senator's "Watergate'' and it had pretty much washed him out of consideration for President, as serious spokesman for the GOP, or dog catcher. Seriously?
National Sandinista Radio (also known as NPR), was a bit more subtle, but not much. Eschewing the waterboarding technique, its alleged "news'' item told supposedly shocked listeners that Rubio "sounded like Mitt Romney.''
No doubt Rubio's defense of private enterprise and the like made him sound like Romney to the NPR reporter, but wouldn't it have been nice if Rubio were simply quoted so a listener could decide for himself how he "sounded?''
In fact, Rubio's official Republican response to President Obama's State of the Union address was an informative, impassioned defense of conservative political philosophy about life and free enterprise, mixed with a rich, admirable personal story.
He not only warned of big government, he explained what private enterprise can do to help the human condition.
Rubio was, in point of fact, perfectly reasonable and likeable.
These are qualities that liberals fear most from conservatives. What to do? Why, reach for Rubio reaching for a water bottle (Poland Springs, by the way). Talk about grasping at straws.

Mets out to maintain spoiler role in NL East
Gee takes hill opposite Teheran in opener between division rivals
Left-hander Dillon Gee can't seem to catch a break against Atlanta. In the Mets' first meeting with the Braves this season, on May 25, the New York offense struck out 12 times, leaving Gee no margin for error in a 6-0 loss. Then, on June 17, after tossing 8 1/3 near-perfect innings at Turner Field, Gee surrendered a single and a walk-off home run to take a brutal 2-1 loss.
The Mets will aim to provide Gee some support and continue to play spoiler in the National League East as they kick off a four-game series with the first-place Braves on Monday night at Citi Field.
Gee's fortunes turned shortly after that mid-June heartbreaker in Atlanta: He has posted a 2.73 ERA in his last four starts, lasting at least six innings in each. He improved to .500 for the first time with his final start before the All-Star break, scattering five hits over 6 2/3 innings in a 4-2 win over the Pirates despite battling blisters on his feet.
"Stuff-wise, it probably wasn't the best day, but I was just trying to throw strikes," Gee said after that win. "The guys got out there and got us an early lead and set the tone against a good pitcher. So I want to try to throw a lot of strikes after that and keep them off-balance."
The Mets began a seven-game post-All-Star-break homestand with a series win over the Phillies and are in the middle of a stretch against all four NL East opponents to open the second half. With the Braves protecting the largest division lead in baseball and the Phillies and Nationals still searching for their first substantial winning streak, the Mets are in a prime position to disrupt multiple contenders.
Atlanta starter Julio Teheran stumbled into the break with one of his shortest outings of the year and will take the mound hoping that the extra days off have put his recent fatigue issues to rest.
"I was feeling really slow," Teheran said after an 8-4 loss to the Reds, on the Sunday before the break, in which he lasted 5 1/3 innings and matched a season high with five earned runs. "My arm was feeling slow, and when I was warming up, I was like, 'I need to find another way to get deep in the game.'"
Teheran allowed just one run but was tagged with the loss in his only encounter with the Mets so far this season, on May 26.
Braves: Loe called up to spell bullpen
After Paul Maholm's early exit on Saturday put added strain on the bullpen, the team purchased the contract of right-hander Kameron Loe from Triple-A Gwinnett before Sunday's game.
To make room for Loe on the roster, the Braves sent Tyler Pastornicky to Gwinnett. In his second stint in the Majors this season, Pastornicky appeared in 12 games, hitting .353 while seeing time at second base, shortstop and center field.
Loe made 11 appearances for the Cubs and the Mariners earlier in the season before signing a Minor League contract with the Braves on May 11. In 21 appearances for Gwinnett, he has a 3.19 ERA while holding opponents to a .252 batting average.
Maholm returned to Atlanta on Sunday to have his wrist examined by Dr. Gary Lourie, the Braves' associate physician and hand specialist. The team did not rule out the veteran left-hander for his next start, which is scheduled to come against rookie Zack Wheeler in Thursday's series finale.
• Jason Heyward missed his sixth consecutive game recovering from a strained right hamstring, but he would have been available as a defensive replacement if needed.
"I just wanted to make sure my legs were 100 percent before I can go out there and attempt to do that, so having this extra day is great for me," Heyward said before Sunday's 3-1 loss. "I'm ready to go play some defense late in the game if I have to, and [on Monday] we'll see where we're at. … But I think I'm ready to go."
Heyward will spend time in center field until B.J. Upton is ready to come off the 15-day disabled list.
Mets: Turner likely on the way back
Infielder Justin Turner appears set to return from the strained left intercostal that landed him on the DL on June 18. With his team navigating a stretch of 18 games in 17 days to open the second half, manager Terry Collins mentioned the possibility that Turner could replace one of the 13 pitchers on the 25-man roster within the next few days.
"You can't burn players going into the game," Collins said, "because you know you're going to need players at the back end. I would think pretty soon we'll get back to 12 pitchers."
Turner went 0-for-2 with a walk on Saturday night while playing for Class A Brooklyn and has hit .280 over his first eight rehab games.
• With his solo homer in the first inning on Sunday, Marlon Byrd has now driven in a run in five straight games, one game short of the longest streak of his career.
Worth noting
• The Braves and Mets have split their season series to date, winning six games apiece.
• Braves catcher Gerald Laird left Sunday afternoon's game in the fourth inning with a contusion to his left hand after being hit by a pitch.
• The Mets have won seven of their last 10 games.

Medlen hopes to move Braves closer to division title
Rookie southpaw Erlin eyes series victory for Padres on road
The Braves will have plenty of other chances to move closer to their first National League East title since 2005, but they hit a slight roadblock Friday night.
They lost a three-run lead in a 4-3 loss to the Padres -- their second loss in five games -- holding their magic number at six. Though they won't be popping bottles of champagne in the Turner Field locker room on this homestand, Atlanta can continue its charge toward the postseason in Game 2 against the Padres Saturday.
Atlanta will try to even the series behind one of its hottest starters in Kris Medlen (13-12, 3.46 ERA). Medlen's won his last three starts and has allowed just three runs over his last 20 1/3 innings.
Though he hasn't faced San Diego this year, Medlen's dominated the Padres with a 1.33 ERA in six games (two starts). He's also won seven of his last nine starts behind a 2.75 ERA, enough to overcome a rocky start to the year.
"I'm not done yet," Medlen said. "But when you get to this point right now, it's pretty fun to look back and see that I started 1-6 and kind of turned things around."
After halting its two-game skid Friday, San Diego will try to build on that success behind rookie southpaw Robbie Erlin. Erlin has surrendered three earned runs or fewer in five of his first six big league starts, but he's struggled on the road with an 8.62 ERA in five appearances (three starts).
He may need a few innings to knock the rust off as he hasn't pitched since Sept. 3, when he allowed two runs and six hits over 5 1/3 innings against the Giants. But each start carries extra weight because he's auditioning for a spot in the Padres' 2014 rotation.
"It felt good," Erlin said after his last start. "I tried to keep the fastball down and work both sides of the plate."
Though the Padres swept the Braves at Petco Park in June, a win Saturday to take the series would break a lasting record of trouble at Turner Field. The Padres are 21-38 since the venue opened in 1997 and dropped three of four in last season's series at Turner Field.
Braves: Kimbrel making club history
Braves closer Craig Kimbrel hasn't pitched since Tuesday, but the next time the Braves head into the ninth with a lead, he will try to convert his 37th straight save.
Kimbrel's already hurdled over John Smoltz's former franchise record of 27 straight converted saves and he's allowed just one run and 22 hits since his last blown save on May 7 -- good for a 0.19 ERA and .139 opponents' average over that streak. He's now recorded at least 40 saves in three consecutive seasons.
Padres: Venable breaking onto national scene
Will Venable has built a convincing case as one of the best players that most fans outside of the NL West have never heard of.
The Padres outfielder crushed his team-leading 22nd home run in Thursday's loss to the Phillies, the most homers for a San Diego outfielder since Mike Cameron hit 22 in 2006. He also has 19 doubles and seven triples -- tied for fifth-most in the league -- to accompany his 52 RBIs and 18 stolen bases.
His rare combination of speed and power puts him in elite company. Venable joins Andrew McCutchen, Jimmy Rollins, Carlos Gomez and Drew Stubbs as the only NL players with at least 50 homers and 90 steals since the beginning of the 2010 season.
Worth noting
• Erlin has floated between the Minor and Major Leagues all season and the Padres called him up from Triple-A Tucson for the fourth time Aug. 28. He's never faced the Braves.
• Braves starters have earned a quality start (at least six innings, no more than three earned runs allowed) in 24 of their last 35 games.

Joke of the day
Every man needs a go-to joke.
Football Terms That Sound Dirty But Aren't 20. The hole closed on him before he could penetrate it. 19. He came at his blind side and got him from behind. 18. He's off to the sidelines for a quick blow. 17. It's a game of inches. 16. That hole was so big, you could drive a truck through it. 15. When you get down in this area, you just gotta start pounding. 14. He's gonna feel that one tomorrow. 13. He found his tight end. 12. End around. 11. He had to stretch to get it in. 10. He gets penetration in the backfield. 9. He blows them off (at the line). 8. He bangs it in. 7. He could go all the way. 6. He gets it off just in time. 5. He goes deep. 4. He found a hole and slid through it. 3. He pounds it in. 2. He beats them off (the line) 1. He's got great hands.
The Fisherman Standing at the edge of the lake, a fisherman saw a woman flailing about in the deep water. Another man was standing on the shore screaming for help. The fisherman ran over to the man. "Help!" the other man started, "I can't swim! My wife's drowning! I'll give you $1,000 if you save her!" The fisherman jumps in the water, swims powerfully out to the drowning woman, puts his arm around her, and swims back to shore. Depositing her at the feet of the man, the fisherman coughs up water, then says, "[cough] okay, bud, where's my 'grand'?" "But, this is my mother-in-law!" The fisherman reaches into his pocket with a frown and says, "Just my luck. Okay, how much do I owe you?"
Buying A Round A guy walked into a bar and said, "Beers for everyone, even you, Bartender!" But when it was time to pay, the guy didn't have the money, so the bartender punched him. The next day the guy did the same thing -- he ordered a beer for everyone, even the bartender, and again, the bartender punched him because the guy couldn't pay. Then the next day the guy said, "Beers for everyone! But not you, bartender!" The bartender said, "Why?" The guy replied, "Because you're violent when you're drunk!"
Corporate Lesson A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings. After a few seconds of arguing over which one should go and answer the doorbell, the wife gives up, quickly wraps herself up in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, "I'll give you $800 to drop that towel you have on." After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob. After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves. Confused but excited about her good fortune, the woman wraps herself back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she returns to the bathroom, her husband asks from the shower, "Who was that?" "It was Bob the next-door neighbor," she replies. "Great," the husband says, "Did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?" Moral of the story: If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your stakeholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.
The Perfect Woman When I was 14, I hoped that one day I would have a girlfriend. When I was 16, I got a girlfriend, but there was no passion. So I decided I needed a passionate girl with a zest for life. In college, I dated a passionate girl, but she was too emotional. Everything was an emergency; she was a drama queen, cried all the time and threatened suicide. So I decided I needed a girl with stability. When I was 25, I found a very stable girl but she was boring. She was totally predictable and never got excited about anything. Life became so dull that I decided that I needed a girl with some excitement. When I was 28, I found an exciting girl, but I couldn't keep up with her. She rushed from one thing to another, never settling on anything. She did mad, impetuous things and made me miserable as often as she made me happy. She was great fun initially and very energetic, but directionless. So I decided to find a girl with some real ambition. When I turned 31, I found a smart ambitious girl with her feet planted firmly on the ground and married her. She was so ambitious that she divorced me and took everything I owned. I am now 40, and am looking for a woman with very big breasts.
Care For Mouthwash A well-dressed salesman stopped a man in the street and asked him, "Sir, would you like to buy a bottle of this mouthwash for $200?" Aghast, the man replied, "Are you nuts?!? That's robbery!" The salesman seemed offended but he still tried again, "Sir, since you are a bit angry, I'll sell it to you for half price at $100. Whaddya say?" Again, the man replied bluntly, "You must be crazy pal, now go away!" The salesman then reached into his briefcase, pulled out two brownies and began munching away on one of them. He told the irritated guy, "Sir, please share one of my brownies since I have annoyed you so much." Unwrapping the brownie, the guy took a bite. Suddenly, he spat it out and said, "Hey! This brownie tastes like crap!!!" "It is," replied the salesman. "Wanna buy some mouthwash?"
Snowplows One winter morning a couple is listening to the radio over breakfast. They hear the announcer say, "We are going to have eight to 10 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the even-numbered side of the street, so the snowplows can get through." Norman's wife goes out and moves her car. A week later while they are eating breakfast again, the radio announcer says, "We are expecting 10 to 12 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the odd-numbered side of the street, so the snowplows can get through." Norman's wife goes out and moves her car again. The next week they are again having breakfast, when the radio announcer says, "We are expecting 12 to 14 inches of snow today. You must park..." Then the electric power goes out. Norman's wife is very upset, and with a worried look on her face she says, "Honey, I don't know what to do. Which side of the street do I need to park on so the snowplows can get through?" With the love and understanding in his voice that all men who are married to blondes exhibit, Norman says, "Why don't you just leave it in the garage this time, honey?"

Writing With Style
Program dates: September 6, 2014 - September 13, 2014
Application deadline: Extended to July 9, 2014
Program Information
"Phenomenal scenery, amazing faculty, great friendships and an absolute dedication to craft is what you'll experience at Writing With Style in Banff."
—Rochelle Squires, program participant
About Writing With Style
Writing With Style is a unique opportunity for writers to participate in a week-long workshop at The Banff Centre — a setting for artists that is both inspiring and productive. Whether you've attended many writing workshops or this is your first, Writing With Style will be an intense and transformative experience. Amidst a diverse community of writers, you'll encounter new ideas and gain confidence in your own style and voice, while shaping and editing your work-in-progress under the guidance of an experienced writer and editor. The program offers a variety of activities designed to maximize the artistic growth of each writer. Participants will enjoy morning group sessions led by a faculty member, in which their work will be read and discussed by the other writers in the program. Afternoons are left free for writing and one-on-one meetings and consultations with faculty. Participants are also invited to take part in evening readings with faculty and fellow writers.
Please note: Writing With Style will be offered in fall only in 2014.
Work Spaces
Participants are housed in single rooms that also serve as their private work spaces. Writers should bring their own computers or laptops, as well as software, if they wish to use a computer on a full-time basis in their rooms. A PC and a Macintosh computer are available for general email and printing purposes. Photocopying services are available at several public locations, and free wireless internet access is available throughout the campus.
Writing Genres and Editing
Applicants must apply to work on a project in one of the groups of writing genres offered in the workshop. For the fall workshop, these include: first chapter novel, poetry, short fiction, and creative non-fiction. Please note that we are now only accepting applications for creative non-fiction.
Be aware that owing to time constraints, Writing With Style does not provide writers an opportunity to edit a novel with their faculty editor. Applicants working on a novel-length manuscript can expect to workshop one chapter.
Who Should Apply
This workshop is open to writers of all levels, and offers an excellent creative and technical development opportunity regardless of the amount of prior experience you have. If you are seeking an intensive week of writing and opportunity to work with a well established writer in your genre of writing, this workshop is for you. Past participants of the program have represented both published and yet-to-be-published writers from every part of Canada, as well as some international writers. For more specifics, see the eligibility section.
Arrival and Departure Dates
Participants should plan to arrive in Banff on Saturday, September 6, 2014 in time for an orientation and welcome reception at 7:30 p.m. Participants should plan to and depart on Sunday, September 14, 2014.

Windows 8 Gets Possibly Free "Blue" Upgrade in 2013, May Split From Server Tree

New version will bring the UI inline with Windows Phone
Microsoft Corp.'s (
) Windows 8 operating system was a bold and risky gambit, which traded familiarity for an innovative new graphically rich (some say
graphically rich) user interface. Now the veteran operating system maker is eyeing more ambitious changes, notably a shift to an Apple, Inc. (
)-like track of more frequent (perhaps annual) operating system releases.
I. Windows Blue to Land in 2013?
Originally thought to be a service pack, sources at Microsoft have been spilling word of an upcoming release called Windows "Blue" (perhaps a code-name) to
The Verge
in recent months.
According to the latest rumors, the 2013 release will be inexpensive or perhaps free, to incentivize upgrades. And it will be a full operating system upgrade. In this regard, the new development cycle Microsoft is moving towards closely
resembles Apple's
-- frequent, cheap operating system upgrades.
Microsoft is also planning a move that may shock and upset some developers -- it will reportedly release a new version of its SDK for Windows Blue, and at that point will stop accepting
Windows Store apps
built on the old Windows 8 SDK. Again, this choice is a calculated tactic on Microsoft's part to push developers and users to embrace the new platform.
The new OS will also shift Microsoft's position regarding leniency for users upgrading from pirate versions. With Blue, if you upgrade from a pirated copy of Windows 8, even if you bought a legitimate copy your Windows Store and the built-in-apps will still be bricked.
[Image Source: NeoWin]
According to
, the term "Windows 9" has begun to creep into text in Microsoft employee postings, suggesting Microsoft may official dub the upcoming OS Windows 9, when it hits release next year.
Another report from
suggests that the new operating system will move Windows 8 to using smaller
Live Tiles
, similar to
those in Windows Phone 8
. This would seem to agree with
The Verge
's sources who suggest Windows Blue/Windows 9 will be part of an effort to complete the transition of Windows Phone and Windows (PC) into a single code-base and consistent user interface. As part of this effort, Windows Phone may receive a corresponding "Blue" update, as well.
II. Are Windows Users Ready for Another Big Shift?
The news of the big shift in release cycles and upcoming new 2013 Windows release comes on the heels of Microsoft's
first report on the health of Windows 8 sales
In its release Microsoft announced that it had moved 40 million licenses in its first month of sales, despite no longer offering the free upgrades for purchasers who bought machines in the months leading up to the release (as it did with Windows 7).
Of course,
will be quick to point that Microsoft reduced upgrade fees (albeit charging more of them), did not disclose its revenue associated with the upgrades, and did not disclose how many of its licenses sold to OEMs were resold.
Will Windows users embrace an Apple-like release schedule? [Image Source: Double DT]
Nonetheless, it appears Windows 8 wasn't the complete disaster some doomsayers predicted. It should be interesting whether Microsoft's next big shift at least receives as warm a welcome as Windows 8.

RE: Win 7 Desktop option
>MS wont stop you installing non windows store apps on their
>Windows 8 PCs.
MS does stop users from installing Metro apps on Windows 8 PCs. Every new feature of Windows 8 is in the new WinRT library. Developers are being pressured to move to WinRT. When they do, Windows Store becomes the only installation option. "Blue" and its new SDK is another move designed to push developers to WinRT. I wish people would stop saying "you can install desktop apps". That's fine until there aren't desktop apps. MS even attempted to disable their ultra-popular Visual Studio Express from being able to develop non-Metro apps until there was an outcry and they decided to put the ability to target the desktop back in. We've seen this same thinking on OS X:
Apple introduces OS X Store: "It's just an option; you can still install whatever you want."
Apple adds option to only allow software to be installed from OS X Store: "No big deal; it's just something someone can turn on for extra security. It's not even the default."
Apple makes it the default in OS X Mountain Lion: "It's no big deal; you can go in and turn it off when you get your Mac/after you upgrade."
One guess as to what the next step is for OS X in either the next release or the one after, especially if Microsoft gets away with Windows Store on the desktop? That option to disable quietly disappears. Some OS X users have seen the writing on the wall and at least one popular Apple blogger (who predicted all of those moves before they happened) announced he was switching to Ubuntu as a result because he knew what was coming next. Now a segment of Windows users are doing the same thing, ignoring the completely obvious pattern about what's going on here. One's an incident, two's a coincidence, three's a pattern. Metro UI registry tweak removed, WinStore lock-down, attempt to pull desktop devel from VS Express, NYT reveals Sinofsky pitched mandatory Metro to Ballmer, VP of WinPhone conference call in which he touts desktop Metro as good for WinPhone sales, now Blue? That's a pattern.
>Windows 8 RT and Phone will be (and are)closed systems, but not
>the full version of Win 8.
Blue converges Windows 8 and Windows phone both on the kernel/software side AND THE PROGRAMMING SIDE. If you write for Win8 you'll have to use Blue SDK and Blue SDK also applies to the phone. In effect, MS is forcing anyone who wants to sell Metro apps through their store - and they can't get their Metro apps onto your PC any other way - to develop for the phone too! What's being locked down are the developers themselves! They're being coerced into making every Metro app they write also runnable on a WinPhone and Tablet if they want to develop for the Metro desktop, and given Windows is a monopoly, that's somewhat of a necessity, at least for the time being. You don't see this as a problem? Microsoft store also dictates how the software must perform, including startup time of two seconds or less. Don't expect to see complex games using the WinRT library! It also excludes certain software licenses, such as GPLv3. Microsoft will have a heck of a lot more control over most of the world's PCs than it's ever had before.

Really? Have you noticed that all Metro apps run on full screen, even on a 27" monitor, for starters, and can't overlap? All because MS' goal (which I can't believe you can't see) is to make every desktop app also runnable on a smart phone - even if the developer doesn't want to?

A rare ring of pubic hair that meets in between the head and the shaft of the cock. Closely resembles the mane of a lion. The other variant of the pubic mane resembles that of a horse. This style of the pubic mane runs in a straight line from the base of the dick shaft, up to where it just about meets the cock head.
Look at sal's fucking pubic mane! It looks like a goddamn mane!

Visualising Twitter Friend Connections Using Gephi: An Example Using the @WiredUK Friends Network
To corrupt a well known saying, "cook a man a meal and he'll eat it; teach a man a recipe, and maybe he'll cook for you…", I thought it was probably about time I posted the recipe I've been using for laying out Twitter friends networks using Gephi, not least because I've been generating quite a few network files for folk lately, giving them copies, and then not having a tutorial to point them to. So here's that tutorial…
The starting point is actually quite a long way down the "how did you that?" chain, but I have to start somewhere, and the middle's easier than the beginning, so that's where we'll step in (I'll give some clues as to how the beginning works at the end…;-)
Here's what we'll be working towards: a diagram that shows how the people on Twitter that @wiredUK follows follow each other:
The tool we're going to use to layout this graph from a data file is a free, extensible, open source, cross platform Java based tool called Gephi. If you want to play along, download the datafile. (Or try with a network of your own, such as your Facebook network or social data grabbed from Google+.)
From the Gephi file menu, Open the appropriate graph file:
Import the file as a Directed Graph:
The Graph window displays the graph in a raw form:
Sometimes a graph may contain nodes that are not connected to any other nodes. (For example, protected Twitter accounts do not publish – and are not published in – friends or followers lists publicly via the Twitter API.) Some layout algorithms may push unconnected nodes far away from the rest of the graph, which can affect generation of presentation views of the network, so we need to filter out these unconnected nodes. The easiest way of doing this is to filter the graph using the Giant Component filter.
To colour the graph, I often make us of the modularity statistic. This algorithm attempts to find clusters in the graph by identifying components that are highly interconnected.
This algorithm is a random one, so it's often worth running it several times to see how many communities typically get identified.
A brief report is displayed after running the statistic:
While we have the Statistics panel open, we can take the opportunity to run another measure: the HITS algorithm. This generates the well known Authority and Hub values which we can use to size nodes in the graph.
The next step is to actually colour the graph. In the Partition panel, refresh the partition options list and then select Modularity Class.
Choose appropriate colours (right click on each colour panel to select an appropriate colour for each class – I often select pastel colours) and apply them to the graph.
The next thing we want to do is lay out the graph. The Layout panel contains several different layout algorithms that can be used to support the visual analysis of the structures inherent in the network; (try some of them – each works in a slightly different way; some are also better than others for coping with large networks). For a network this size and this densely connected,I'd typically start out with one of the force directed layouts, that positions nodes according to how tightly linked they are to each other.
When you select the layout type, you will notice there are several parameters you can play with. The default set is often a good place to start…
Run the layout tool and you should see the network start to lay itself out. Some algorithms require you to actually Stop the layout algorithm; others terminate themselves according to a stopping criterion, or because they are a "one-shot" application (such as the Expansion algorithm, which just scales the x and y values by a given factor).
We can zoom in and out on the layout of the graph using a mouse wheel (on my MacBook trackpad, I use a two finger slide up and down), or use the zoom slider from the "More options" tab:
To see which Twitter ID each node corresponds to, we can turn on the labels:
This view is very cluttered – the nodes are too close to each other to see what's going on. The labels and the nodes are also all the same size, giving the same visual weight to each node and each label. One thing I like to do is resize the nodes relative to some property, and then scale the label size to be proportional to the node size.
Here's how we can scale the node size and then set the text label size to be proportional to node size. In the Ranking panel, select the node size property, and the attribute you want to make the size proportional to. I'm going to use Authority, which is a network property that we calculated when we ran the HITS algorithm. Essentially, it's a measure of how well linked to a node is.
The min size/max size slider lets us define the minimum and maximum node sizes. By default, a linear mapping from attribute value to size is used, but the spline option lets us use a non-linear mappings.
I'm going with the default linear mapping…
We can now scale the labels according to node size:
Note that you can continue to use the text size slider to scale the size of all the displayed labels together.
This diagram is now looking quite cluttered – to make it easier to read, it would be good if we could spread it out a bit. The Expansion layout algorithm can help us do this:
A couple of other layout algorithms that are often useful: the Transformation layout algorithm lets us scale the x and y axes independently (compared to the Expansion algorithm, which scales both axes by the same amount); and the Clockwise Rotate and Counter-Clockwise Rotate algorithm lets us rotate the whole layout (this can be useful if you want to rotate the graph so that it fits neatly into a landscape view.
The expanded layout is far easier to read, but some of the labels still overlap. The Label Adjust layout tool can jiggle the nodes so that they don't overlap.
(Note that you can also move individual nodes by clicking on them and dragging them.)
So – nearly there… The final push is to generate a good quality output. We can do this from the preview window:
The preview window is where we can generate good quality SVG renderings of the graph. The node size, colour and scaled label sizes are determined in the original Overview area (the one we were working in), although additional customisations are possible in the Preview area.
To render our graph, I just want to make a couple of tweaks to the original Default preview settings: Show Labels and set the base font size.
Click on the Refresh button to render the graph:
Oops – I overdid the font size… let's try again:
Okay – so that's a good start. Now I find I often enter into a dance between the Preview ad Overview panels, tweaking the layout until I get something I'm satisfied with, or at least, that's half-way readable.
How to read the graph is another matter of course, though by using colour, sizing and placement, we can hopefully draw out in a visual way some interesting properties of the network. The recipe described above, for example, results in a view of the network that shows:
– groups of people who are tightly connected to each other, as identified by the modularity statistic and consequently group colour; this often defines different sorts of interest groups. (My follower network shows distinct groups of people from the Open University, and JISC, the HE library and educational technology sectors, UK opendata and data journalist types, for example.)
– people who are well connected in the graph, as displayed by node and label size.
Here's my final version of the @wiredUK "inner friends" network:
You can probably do better though…;-)
To recap, here's the recipe again:
– filter on connected component (private accounts don't disclose friend/follower detail to the api key i use) to give a connected graph;
– run the modularity statistic to identify clusters; sometimes I try several attempts
– colour by modularity class identified in previous step, often tweaking colours to use pastel tones
– I often use a force directed layout, then Expansion to spread to network out a bit if necessary; the Clockwise Rotate or Counter-Clockwise rotate will rotate the network view; I often try to get a landscape format; the Transformation layout lets you expand or contract the graph along a single axis, or both axes by different amounts.
– run HITS statistic and size nodes by authority
– size labels proportional to node size
– use label adjust and expand to to tweak the layout
– use preview with proportional labels to generate a nice output graph
– iterate previous two steps to a get a layout that is hopefully not completely unreadable…
Got that?!;-)
Finally, to the return beginning. The recipe I use to generate the data is as follows:
- grab a list of twitter IDs (call it L); there are several ways of doing this, for example: obtain a list of tweets on a particular topic by searching for a particular hashtag, then grab the set of unique IDs of people using the hashtag; grab the IDs of the members of one or more Twitter lists; grab the IDs of people following or followed by a particular person; grab the IDs of people sending geo-located tweets in a particular area;
- for each person P in L, add them as a node to a graph;
- for each person P in L, get a list of people followed by the corresponding person, e.g. Fr(P)
- for each X in e.g. Fr(P): if X in Fr(P) and X in L, create an edge [P,X] and add it to the graph
- save the graph in a format that can be visualised in Gephi.
To make this recipe, I use Tweepy and a Python script to call the Twitter API and get the friends lists from there, but you could use the Google Social API to get the same data. There's an example of calling that API using Javscript in my "live" Twitter friends visualisation script (Using Protovis to Visualise Connections Between People Tweeting a Particular Term) as well as in the A Bit of NewsJam MoJo – SocialGeo Twitter Map.

Is your Python script available for download?
It is – but it's really really horrible…. (been cobbled together, added to and hacked over the months; needs starting again from scratch – and documenting – really…): github/psychemedia/newt
hey can you explain a bit more how you grab twitter ids? i see the step-by-step above, but maybe you could share the actual script? thanks!
Were can we find the Python modules privatebits and backtype please?
They do not exist in http://pypi.python.org/ and I can't find them using Google.
privatebits simply sets keys – remove import and hack related functions probably easiest. backtype api calls no longer supported so that import can go…

Hi, the post above is well illustrated!! I have tried to download above available file, so as to start with gephi. Though it is .gdf file, it gets saved as .txt file, which is not opened in gephi because of its extension. I am wondering could somebody suggest what to do ASAP?
Change the suffix…
thanks much… I have imported in .gdf.
Hi, above file download problem is not yet solved.
It is save as wiredUK-friends_innerfriendsNet_2011-07-05-18-56-19.gdf, but when I open in Gephi, it says – "Impossible to find a compatible importer. The file format is not supported. check file's extension."
I checked its file type which is text.
As suggested above I have removed suffix, still same problem.
Then I imported it through excel as .csv.
Now when I open it (wiredUK-friends_innerfriendsNet_2011-07-05-18-56-19.gdf.csv) in Gephi, it shows # of nodes: 1987 instead of 254, and # of Edges: 6145 instead of 3834. But I can see that in csv file #of nodes & Edges are correct i.e. 254 & 3834 resp.I am not sure what I am missing while saving it?
Could any one help, its appreciated a lot. Thanks.-
IF you remove the suffix altogether that still won't help – remove the txt and replace it with gdf
Thanks Tony for your reply.
I try to remove txt and replaced with gdf. but basically File Type is still text. so its not working. Also when I click at wiredUK-friends_innerfriendsNet_2011-07-05-18-56-19.gdf link, this file opens which when I save, it saves as text file, there is no option available to save as .gdf.
I am using windows. How can I solve this problem? -
Hello Tony,
My problem has been solved now. It was just the wrong way file was saved.
Thanks. -
I am doing a study on a study network, in which there are 20 users and only 4 users are connected via 15 nodes. So I have prepared two table edge.csv (with 20 rows + 1 header) and node.csv (with 15 rows + 1 header). SO through Data laboratory I have imported node table and edge table. However, only four row of edge columns are adding not the completed table. Can you please tell me to import both the cvs tables step by step ASAP. I dont know why it is not taking data properly.
thanks in advance.-

applying modularity on my graph is switching among 6 and 7 ? which one should i choose?
@Sally The algorithm is a random one so you may get different results each time you apply it; one thing you can do to help you decide whther to "accept" a particular result is to look at the report that is generated to see how many nodes are assigned to each modularity group.

Drew Storen has allowed one hit –a cheap one — in three appearances this spring.
KISSIMMEE, Fla. — We've passed the midway point of the spring, and though there are still three weeks' worth of exhibition games left to be played, we can already draw some significant conclusions.
Stephen Strasburg is the best pitcher in camp, though that won't ensure him a spot on the Opening Day roster.
Drew Storen may be right behind Strasburg in ability, and he very well could wind up in Washington on April 5.
Other than Ryan Zimmerman, Ian Desmond may be the best all-around position player on the roster, and he's determined to force a difficult decision at the end of the month.
The rotation remains a huge question mark, with few guys in the running for three open spots distinguishing themselves as worthy big-league starters.
Let's begin with that final point, because it is the foremost dilemma on the Nationals' hands at this moment. Sure, it's nice to know Strasburg, Storen and Desmond all look major-league ready, but what good does that do when you still can't come up with a reliable startingRead more »
- Wally - Mar 13, 2010 at 11:46 PM
Mark – are you hearing anything on the trade front? Ladson said something about trading for a top of the rotation starter, which I find impossible to believe, but there are some surplus starters available like Chad Gaudin that may be an improvement from the current candidates.
- Sunderland - Mar 13, 2010 at 11:53 PM
I'd be delighted, and shocked, if Desmond was made the starting SS. If Guzman gets playing time, and plays fairly well, maybe the Nats can move him (Mets?), eat a bunch of that $8MM contract and move on. But if they just bench him, they're flushing $8MM, and that doesn't seem like the Lerner way of doing things.If our rotation is Lannan, Marquis and 3 warm bodies, it will kill our bullpen, and we'll be right back where we were a year ago.
- peric - Mar 14, 2010 at 12:04 AM
JD Martin has given up 2 runs on 3 hits. NO HOMERUNS. NO WALKS in 5 innings pitched. He has 3 strike outs. He has the same ERA as mock but a lower WHIP.Mock has given up 2 runs on 8 hits, 1 HOMERUN and 3 strike outs in 5 innings pitched. He also has NO WALKS.Please explain the logic of stating that Martin's spring is "nondescript" while Mock's is good enough to put him on the 25.I don't see it Mark.
- peric - Mar 14, 2010 at 12:10 AM
If Mock isn't good enough? then … it is well known that Storen, unlike may recent Nats closers, has more than one pitch in his arsenal. I think he has good command of 4. Maybe its time to consider using him, along with Strasburg, as a starter.Now you come out of the box with Strasburg, Lannan, Storen, Marquis, plus Hernandez. What's more important at this point? The Closer or getting quality starts? Storen looks like he might make a great Stopper as well as a Closer. Why waste him on "set up". Why not just start him?They have Bruney, Capps, Burnett and perhaps some in the minors will step into that role sooner rather than later.
- Doc - Mar 14, 2010 at 12:13 AM
Great analysis MarkMeister! Give us a run-down on some of the outfielders, and subs.
- Nats fan in NJ - Mar 14, 2010 at 12:24 AM
Mark – Good job, thanks for this write-up. I can see Storen and Desmond both going north with the big league club. I am disappointed in Chico's start today; I've been plugging him as my dark horse for the #5 spot. Hopefully, he can shake it off. JD Martin, Mock and Stammen don't scare me if any of them go north as part of the rotation.
- Anonymous - Mar 14, 2010 at 12:43 AM
If Guz's arm is in question and Desmond has locked up a starting spot, any chance the team would revisit the idea of moving Guz to 2nd?PB
- Wally - Mar 14, 2010 at 12:44 AM
Peric makes a good point about Storen. I have heard that the Nats have talked about trying him at starter, but any idea what is holding them back, Mark?
- raymitten - Mar 14, 2010 at 1:14 AM
Mark, great stuff, I was at the game and I agree with everything. Any feedback on Chris Duncan and his attempts to play first base?
- peric - Mar 14, 2010 at 2:09 AM
One thing is sure: they aren't going to let an extra year before arbitration go … so your real opening day for this team won't be until June. Given the early part of the schedule they may be too far behind for changes to make much difference. Making themselves even less attractive to future (and currently on the team) free agents. Nevertheless, "old school" Riggleman is going to play the eight million dollar man Guzman even though he probably should be benched. He is going to throw starters in who aren't going to generate quality starts. He looks to have a bull pen that is going to be rocked. Riggleman will be fielding a very suspect middle infield. Catcher is also not really solid … and Morgan is having a miserable spring. One could almost see the guy losing his job … probably to his friend McLaren before the season is out. Thus allowing the two friends to completely swap roles.
- D'Gourds - Mar 14, 2010 at 2:10 AM
Do the Nats get another year of control of Storen if they keep him down in the minors like they would with Strasburg?
- Mark Zuckerman - Mar 14, 2010 at 2:18 AM
D'Gourds: Yes, the same service time rules apply to Storen. If he starts out in the minors, he wouldn't be eligible for free agency until after the 2016 season.
- Anonymous - Mar 14, 2010 at 3:09 AM
Mark, any idea how Thompson, Balester, and others pitched in the intrasquad games. Just wondering if any of these guys still have a chance.
- Anonymous - Mar 14, 2010 at 3:16 AM
Wally, don't trust anything that Ladsen says. He is on the MLB payroll and is paid to make the Nats looks good, even (actually, especially) when they aren't. If you don't believe me, see one of his previous stories this week, titled: "Nats inspiring confidence." Pfft, please.

Why I believe that Mike Rizzo will not draft Harper.Someone tried to predict a 2012 lineup in NJ. Its gotten pushed out to2012. Here's my take based on what prospects there are, and the plan in place remains as it appears to stand now:1. Eury Perez CF2. Jeff Kobernus 2B3. Ryan Zimmerman 3B4. Adam Dunn 1B (The sign him long term this year)5. Ian Desmond SS6. Derrick Norris LF/C7. Destin Hood RF8. Adrian Nieto C9. Steve Strasburg SPDeck McGuire SPJohn Lannan SPRoss Detwiler SPAaron Thompson SPNathaniel Karns SPTrevor Holder SPBench: Steve Lombardozzi MIF, JP Ramirez OF, Mike Daniel OF,Leonard Davis UTIL, Chris Marrerro OF, Sean Rooney C,Michael Burgess OF , Mike Morse IF/OF.Bullpen: Tyler Clippard, Rafael Martin, Jack Spradlin, Closer: Drew Storen

Well, with the pitching staff we will probably have going into the regular season, it looks like another 100 loss season.

Peric, Stop posting about ridiculous and unrealistic lineup combinations. No team prepares 2 year from now with only their minor leaguers especially if a few of them are mediocre. Why are you projecting for Nieto and Perez to be in the big leagues in 2012? No way do they make it up that fast. Also, your lineup suggests you want the Nats to get the #1 draft pick for 5 straight seasons. Stop with all the Trevor Holder hype. The guy is not a prospect. He's mediocre with mediocre stuff and mediocre numbers. There's a lot better players in the system to tout instead of a guy who was clearly drafted too high.

I am trying a different method of cold rise. Previously, I had been taking the dough from the mixer into lightly oiled tupperware containers, and into the fridge for 3 days. Then, out and into pans for a few hour room temp rise. I just thought that maybe I could skip a step. So, this time I am trying to go from mixer straight into the lightly oiled pans, and into the fridge for the cold rise. I'm not sure what this will do. The pans are 12 X 17, and the tupperware is only about 6 X 10. Not sure if the dough needs to rise upward in the tupperware...or if the rise in the pan, going more outward will have any effect? If anyone knows, please let me know. Thanks
