Julie Larson-Green is working to fill Sinofsky's shoes
When Microsoft's Windows Chief Steven
Sinofsky hit the road
last month, Julie Larson-Green stepped in as the new sheriff in town (as far as Windows 8 goes, anyway). Larson-Green didn't inherit an easy role, so it's fair to ask: Can she fill Sinofsky's shoes?
Larson-Green, who has worked for Microsoft for 20 years and led the introduction of huge ideas like the ribbon interface for Microsoft Office, recently interviewed with Tom Simonite at
MIT Technology Review
in an attempt to offer insight on what it's like to grab hold of Windows' biggest redesign and attempt to bring everyone on board with the new look and feel.
According to Larson-Green, so far, so good. While Sinofsky was a strong force in the Windows environment with a brilliant mind and explosive personality, Larson-Green insists that "not much" has changed since she took over his position.
"I've worked directly with Steven for seven years but known him for the whole 20 years I've been at Microsoft," said Larson-Green. "We think a lot the same about what the role of Windows is in society, what computing looks like, and getting people on board with that point of view."
Getting everyone on board hasn't been easy. Windows has had a solid user interface design since Windows 95, which was the start of a more object oriented interface. Users had become accustomed to this for nearly two decades, and
Windows 8 flipped that entire concept
on its head.

Windows 8 features what was once called the Metro style user interface, with colorful live tiles and a repositioned Start button. The new design was mainly for touch purposes in mobile products like Microsoft's Surface and Windows Phone 8, but some have had a hard time digesting this new look for desktop use. So why the radical change?
"When Windows was first created 25 years ago, the assumptions about the world and what computing could do and how people were going to use it were completely different," said Latson-Green. "It was at a desk, with a monitor. Before Windows 8 the goal was to launch into a window, and then you put that window away and you got another one. But with Windows 8, all the different things that you might want to do are there at a glance with the Live Tiles. "
She added the importance of touch on desktops as well as mobile devices to enhance the experience of using Windows 8, while still giving users the option to have a keyboard and mouse. She said it takes people anywhere from two days to two weeks to get adjusted to all the changes in Windows 8, depending on how invested they were in the traditional versions.
This brings us to the Surface tablet, which is Microsoft's first homemade hardware running Windows. Larson-Green addressed the new product briefly (nothing about sales numbers or demand, which have been in speculation lately).
"It was a way to test our hypothesis of a new way of working," said Larson-Green. "It takes time for individuals to adjust, but it also takes time for the industry to adjust to new things—all the complicated things about the supply chain and issues like what sizes of glass gets cut. Surface is our vision of what a stage for Windows 8 should look like, to help show consumers and the industry our point of view on what near perfect hardware would look like."
Sinofsky, former president of Microsoft's Windows and Windows Live division, announced that he was
leaving the company
last month after a little over 23 years with the tech giant. It was reported as a "sudden" move that no one expected, but details about the departure show that the decision was contemplated for a while and even
backed by Microsoft co-founder and chairman Bill Gates
While Sinofsky was seen as a brilliant figure at Microsoft, his downfall was that he didn't get along with others within the company. He was notorious for picking fights with other executives, including current CEO Steve Ballmer, and even pushed former executives like chief software architect Ray Ozzie to quit.

I didn,t see that muh angry backlash against Windows 7 when it came out. I'm speaking about sales, and i have high doubts this Windows will be a commercial success.
I used Windows 8 since it came out. I don't hate it, Under the Hood it's a masterpiece of engineering. But after 2 months i barely use any metro apps. Even metro explorer is a pain to use compared to desktop explorer. I use a long ribbon of shortcuts that shows only icons and go through them all every morning for exemple. Doing this in metro, like switching tabs, is a pain.
And they need a dock in metro. The taskbar is the most useful thing in the desktop. Ios, android and OS x have a dock. It would be perfectly doable in metro, even with auto-hide enabled by default.
That multitasking of 2 apps with one taking 1/3 of screen and the other 2/3. Seriously? There's no 1/2-1/2 option? Why? Why can't we split the screen horizontaly? Why can,t we split 4-ways?
How about the top of the screen that's barely used in apps? That would be a good place to put context-sensitive menus a la ribbon.
The left of the screen used for apps switching, i would transform it to an universal back button, since we would have a dock at the bottom to swith apps.
I still use ZUNE on the desktop since i can't figure out how to manage playlists with the xbox music apps. It's like all their apps are made to PURCHASE something more easily than BROWSING THROUGH YOUR OWN CONTENT.
Anyway, still holding on to them stocks. Office is still great.
"It looks like the iPhone 4 might be their Vista, and I'm okay with that." -- Microsoft COO Kevin Turner

Satin Smooth Wild Cherry Hard Wax
CelerysHairBlackThick or Coarse HairGreat Product!The product is great - goes on smoothly when properly warmed and far less painful than other products. Just make sure you learn how to use hard wax properly first, or you'll end up with a lot of little bits, a large mess and a lot less product!posted Apr 24, 2013Link to this post
ElianaNew YorkHairBlackThick or Coarse HairLove It!!!Finally! No pain....hard to believe but true. You don't need wax strips which its fabulous. It leaves your skin feeling so soft and moisturized. ALL the hair comes off with one application. Unlike other waxes that I've used like GIGI. Sating Smooth is the best! However, the only thing is that it's extremely sticky when you are removing the wax from your skin. But it is so worth it.posted Oct 28, 2010Link to this post
LaurenVery Sticky WaxPros: it smells lovely and it does grab onto bikini hairs very well. Cons: I think the cons weigh out the pros of this product. This wax is extremely sticky, even after letting it cool for 10 minutes after application, it was very difficult to pull off. It seemed to work better on my bikini area than my legs which is surprising.posted Apr 15, 2010Link to this post
GinaNever Shave Again!Satin Smooth makes great products. I don't usually take the time to right reviews, but I want people to know that they can trust this brand to do the job right. The hard wax is great because I don't have to worry about running out of the muslin strips that you use with soft wax. I was more than satisfied with the amount of hair removal and it didn't hurt too badly either. Also, the wild cherry smells great. I will never shave again.posted Mar 1, 2010Link to this post
DawnSan FranciscoEasyProduct smells great and once it melted intially, it was very easy to use. This was my first time doing a brazilian myself and it was really easy and not as painful as when I go to the salon. Just don't put it on too thick. I used it without sheets.posted Jan 4, 2010Link to this post
Kelly M.Saratoga, NYPerfect For BrazilianThis is THE wax to use if you are doing a Brazilian. It is a little messy, but cleans up easily and doesnt leave red bumps (as opposed to a honey wax). It takes time to learn how to apply it since you dont use a strip, so practice somewhere (like your leg) until you get it right.posted Mar 1, 2009Link to this post
MarykateNashville,tnLove It!!I did a brazillian with this wax the other day for the fist time and loved it!! There was a lot less pain and it got everything in one swipe! Client was very happy as well and asked me to always use this on her!posted Dec 21, 2008Link to this post

Remember Gnuff? | |
Written by Kim Thompson | Filed under Freddy Milton, Fantagraphics history, Critters | 4 Jan 2010 11:20 AM |
One of the funnest parts of editing the CRITTERS anthology lo these many years ago (1985 to 1990 if you're counting -- gah, two, two and a half decades ago!) was working on the great "Gnuff" stories by my old buddy Freddy Milton. I was always sorry that there was not enough demand for these charming, neo-Barksian adventures to graduate to their own books, and of course by now those original CRITTERS comics are nigh impossible for find.
Well, thank God for the internet! Freddy, who is now a respectable retired gentleman of leisure (although he still cartoons up a storm), has been amusing himself by combining the original CRITTERS translations with color art files done for the Danish edition, and if you go here you can read the entire 46-page epic "introductory" "Gnuff" story -- as Freddy points out not the first one he did, but the earliest in the Gnuff chronology and the first to be printed in CRITTERS.
Freddy has also put up the only "Gnuff" story to be printed in full color in English, "Double Star" from the out of print USAGI YOJIMBO COLOR SPECIAL #1. Lettered by Bill Spicer, incidentally.
As if that weren't enough, Freddy has commissioned another old buddy of mine, Dwight Decker (who actually translated most of the CRITTERS "Gnuff" stories back when) to translate a classic Woody Woodpecker story of his, "Happy Water," and that can be found here -- and here's yet another Woody story, "The Coming of the Blot."
In fact, if you go to the main page and cruise down the menu bar you'll see a huge amount of great stuff, including (down toward the bottom) video interviews with Freddy and Daan Jippes in English.
For those of you unfamiliar with Freddy's work, he hit upon a pretty great racket: He'd do stories for European Disney and/or Woody Woodpecker, keep the copyrights for the work itself but not the characters, so he was able to later convert, say, a Woody Woodpecker story to a Gnuff story. If I remember correctly one particular story he did was re-purposed something like three additional times, changing characters from ducks to woodpeckers to dinosaurs (and as needed removing or adding one of the three kids, as Donald had three dependents and Woody and Gnuff only two).
I always thought Freddy's work was absolutely charming and felt bad that none of it has been available to English-speaking fans for many years. Well, now there's three full graphic novel length stories available for your reading pleasure, and for free. Enjoy!

Outdoors journalism suffered a tragic loss this week, when Michael J. Ybarra, a former L.A. Times reporter who had recently written about his outdoors adventures for the Wall Street Journal, was killed in a mountain-climbing fall over the weekend on the edge of Yosemite National Park.
He was 45.
Ybarra had set out alone to cross the craggy Sawtooth Ridge in the Eastern Sierra and summited the 12,280-foot Matterhorn Peak before he fell about 200 feet to his death, according to sister, Suzanne Ybarra, who was quoted in the Los Angeles Times in its Friday editions.
His family reported him missing Sunday, and a rescue crew spotted his body Tuesday in a rugged area difficult to reach on foot, according to Kari Cobb, a park ranger.
His body, according to the L.A. Times report, was found on the side of a mountain, his sister said.
"He died doing what he loved most," she wrote on her Facebook page.
In a statement, the Wall Street Journal called Ybarra "an extraordinary journalist. In the best traditions of his profession he enlightened and engaged readers on a wide array of topics in clear, vivid prose."
On Tuesday, July 3, at 5:50 pm, Mono County Sheriff's Department dispatch received a call reporting a climber that was overdue from a planned traverse of several peaks in the Sawtooth Range from Matterhorn Peak to Blacksmith Peak.
This range is the boundary between Mono County and Yosemite National Park.
Mono County Sheriff's Deputies, along with team members from the Mono County Sheriff's and Yosemite National Park Search and Rescue (SAR) Teams, responded to the Matterhorn Peak area to search for the overdue hiker, Michael J. Ybarra, 45, of Los Angeles. Search teams found that Ybarra had signed the summit register at Matterhorn Peak, but not at Cleaver Peak, thus intensifying the search efforts between the two peaks.
As the search expanded into a multi-day, multi-agency search, a crew from the National Guard out of Sacramento was requested to aid in the search efforts via a Blackhawk helicopter. The helicopter crew located Ybarra, deceased, on the steep western flank between Matterhorn Peak and Cleaver Peak.
Yosemite National Park and Tuolumne County personnel recovered Ybarra's body on Wednesday, July 4.
Final cause of death is pending autopsy results but appears to be the result of a solo climber fall.

How could you vote to pass bill H.R. 1955: Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007? Do you think Americans' should not have their civil liberties?! Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?! I will do everything make it known that we have a state rep that is willing to take away our rights, because of a potential problem! That because of some people are potential threats that you believe the innocent must suffer as well! I love my freedoms to think what I want, and I am going to make sure everyone knows that you said yes to a bill that says I can no longer express them if they go against the government for fear of being a homegrown terrorist! I hope you can live with your decision on helping with the destruction of this once great country!
When put in conflict, which is more important, the right to life or the right to own a gun if you are a criminal who has demonstrated a probability to reoffend? What would have happened if the Federal government did not step in when the KKK was raging across the south hanging and killing blacks and whites who supported Dr. King among others? Nothing would have happened because the disenfranchised Blacks of the South would not have had the opportunity to remove their abusive governments. It is far better to prevent a death in retrospect than to mourn the death after a lynching, LBJ knew this, which is why protections save American lives.
Barney Frank's attempts to create a "floor" under the housing market are ridiculous. Did this clown take an economics course in college? Creative destruction is at the heart of capitalism. Trying to prevent credit and asset markets from returning to equilibrium (the "destructive" flip side to the "creative" bubble we saw in the last year) will simply create more problems than it solves.
Frank, Dodd, and Schumer may delay the inevitable, but they can not prevent the inevitable. More importantly, by propping up asset and credit markets through monetary and fiscal stimulus, they will ultimately hasten the collapse of the dollar.
In the 1930s in response to the drop of the stock market having to with overspending and non-sustainable investments in the 1920s Congress and the President put in security programs protecting the stock market from further crashes. Despite the oil crisis of the 1970s and another smaller dip in the early 1990s the economy did not collapse until 2008 when the protections put in place by Roosevelt had been removed. I bet he took economics as well as history.
I am a PEACEFUL WARRIOR, and people are just selling MY IDEAS, and being Disabled I have NO NO Right's ? why is it that way?, can I steal from you? and get away with it ? I am a better Man than those that steal, from the week and Disabled !

Just look back at the address's in the Past and the History of real Presidents of this Country. He has not even been close to the People and your Party has been the same! just look at Hitler's Party just one to follow and A real American is no guts no glory! so what is your Party ?
American OR not ?I was flabbergasted the other day when a sign went up on our still developing subdivision. It reads: "NO CASH TO CLOSE, SELLER PAYS ALL CLOSING COSTS." In spite of the footnote "Restrictions Apply" is this not illustration of how we got in this mess?
Whatever happened to personal and financial responsibility? Bailout of mortage companies, banks, finance companies and imprudent individuals indeed!
I would have given Barney Frank a 100% if he had voted for a trans-inclusive ENDA.
I am so outraged at what I see going on in Washington that I'm ashamed to be an American! You childish idiots stand up there telling everyone how bad the other party is and everyone that doesn't agree with your views as if you are really doing it for the people! That goes for both sides, I haven't seen an honest bipartisan effort by anyone! And as far as the government being able to tell anyone how to run their business…you better look in the mirror first! Sick and Tired of lip-service in MT.
You Should not be ashamed to be an American for our Representatives in Washington do not represent the GREAT Citizens of the UNITED STATES of America. In FACT they are a disgrace to this Great Nation and should all be thrown out of office for Treason on the highest level. they do not uphold the Constitution to which they swore an oath and this alone should be a crime punishable by impeachment at the least. We are a Great Nation under GOD and they on the otherhand are pathetic human beings and they deserve recognition as such.
Where and when is there going to be a TEA Party.
I am sick and tired of the LIES, deceit, lip service and treating us like sh—.
Barney should be recalled. In fact, they should all be impeached for taking our retirements, but they have probably stolen theirs.Moderated Comment
Barney Frank- Even looks like that green and purple monstosity. Him and all the other democraps and some republicans should be deported out of the country. They are sooo smart, send them to Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia. Let them set up a government there. That fat loud mouthed jackass!
Barney Frank says their is 0% inflation On what planet is he referring to? The Federal Reserve Is Destroying the value of the dollar at an alarming rate and they have no intention of slowing this process down until they have succeeded in destroying our currency. New World Order and currency is their ultimate goal. Barney Frank is the chairman of the Finance committee and has no intention of calling for a vote on HR-1207 to audit the FEDERAL RESERVE. I would like to know who voted for this so called representative of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA? He is a pathetic Human Being and a sorry representative to BOOT.
This guy is a disgrace. He's a big part of what caused a lot of the problems we are having right now and I hope the people in his State wake up and realize he needs to be fired. I don't want to see this clown reelected EVER again.
I concur. This guy reminds me of a cartoon!
You know, I agree with myself that its highly unfair that if you grow your own stuff and smoke your own stuff why the hell does it matter? I mean, those who smoke weed either has a record or that just begining to smoke something different. Sad enough to say we have every right to smoke what ever is somkeable, right? Yea so what. I've been in a holding cell for 4 hours, does that make me a criminal? So freaking what, I been ticketed so many time because of a moving violation. But yet, when I smoke my stuff, it helps me ease my mind, it soothes my emotions, and hell, it gives me the best erection than a viriga does. I've got nothing to hide. I am an independant american that has every right to do as I please.
- This guy thinks he is "better and smarter" than his constituents…..and has a huge ego…….he needs to go back to his male prostitution business in the basement of his house(remember that fine example for the youngsters of the community)…………..Barney probably doesn't read these, you know it is below his station. But if ya do Barn, just know that we are watching, and our goal will not only include cleaning house of vermin like you, but also eliminating your benefits after you're run out of town. So enjoy your privilage now because the country is starting to realize that the smell of stench is eminating from you
How incredibly stupid are you people in Massachusetts? Have you people not even 2 brain cells amongst you rub together? Why do you idiots continue to re-elect complete morons like Barney Frank? Its pathetic… I mean really, elect a Democrat, elect a Republican, elect which ever party you want, but please, can you people be any dumber than to elect someone like Barney Frank?
Barney Frank, you are the most ARROGANT, RUDE little boy I have ever seen. I have watched you on several occasions and you use Alinsky tactics and try to humiliate those who disagree with you. You yell and you tell EVERYONE that they interrupt you, trying to monopolize conversations. That, you fool, is because you keep yapping and never let anyone get a word in! If they disagree with you, God help them, right? I wish your constiuents would GIVE YOU THE BOOT!
I hope congressman Frank is spending some money on speech therapy….he and the other 534 idiots certainly make enough. Speaking of that……..the moron has the gall to suggest that some people's salaries should be capped. Who's capping the salaries of the members of congress? They've been taking the taxpayers to the cleaners for years. We need to wake up America and start demanding that the bozo's in Washington earn their pay and work for the people that sent them there. Let's give them a wake up call next year……….vote the idiots out.
Why didn't the good people of Massachusetts vote NO to Barney Fudd last election?

Rays hope long layoff from MLB doesn't faze Odorizzi
Vargas looks to build on previous outing in finale against Rays
Jake Odorizzi did not expect to don a Rays uniform again until rosters expanded in September, but circumstances change and Odorizzi will start Thursday's series finale against the Angels.
While Odorizzi is elated to be back with the Rays, he knows he has a job to do.
"You know if you're up here, you have to produce and keep us in it," Odorizzi said. "That's my thought process right now."
If the right-hander pitches anything like he did the last time he started for the Rays, allowing one run in 5 2/3 innings in Boston on June 18, then the club expects to be just fine.
"It's good for him to come back," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "We have a good idea with what we want to do with him tomorrow. He probably feels pretty good about the moment based on what he did in Boston. It should work."
As the Rays, who are 2 1/2 games behind the first-place Red Sox in the AL East, look to keep pace in the playoff chase, the Angels will turn to Jason Vargas as they try to win their second straight series.
Vargas will be making his fourth start since missing nearly two months with a blood clot in his left armpit area.
Although the left-hander's first two starts back from the disabled list left a lot to be desired, he was sharp in his last outing.
Vargas allowed one run in 6 1/3 innings in a win against the Mariners and is hoping for more of the same Thursday.
"I don't know if I felt any different [than the other two starts,]" Vargas said. "I was able to execute more often than not. That's always better than not being able to."
Angels: Trout stepping up
Once again Mike Trout has proven how good he really is.
When the season began, there were doubts as to whether Trout could repeat his historic rookie season and he answered the call. Then, when Albert Pujols suffered a partial tear of his plantar fascia, people wondered how Trout would respond without Pujols' protection in the order.
Since Pujols went down on July 27, Trout is hitting .360 with six home runs.
"He's hitting the ball well, too, but there's no doubt about teams circling his name and not wanting him to be the guy that beats you," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "Sometimes you need someone behind you to get your at-bats, get your swings, get your pitches to hit."
Rays: Time running out for Crain
The Rays knew Jesse Crain was hurt when they acquired him, but they hoped he'd be healthy for the stretch run.
However, Crain has yet to throw off a mound -- something he'd like to do four or five times before returning -- and may not pitch again this season.
"He's kind of stuck right now," Maddon said. "It's not getting worse, it's not getting better. We probably need to see some significant movement within the next week or so."
Worth noting
• Ben Zobrist has had some success against Vargas in his career as he is hitting .368 (7-for-19).
• Shoulder pain caused Josh Hamilton to exit Tuesday's game in the ninth inning and limited him to the DH role on Wednesday.

Well, drat -- my school lost. :( They left a lot of points on the table-- but considering that, they still came within 7 points. (The spread was 20.)
And after seeing Kansas play, I think I'll hate on Gonzaga less now. So Gonzaga, I'm cheering for you (a little more..)
Rooting for North Carolina now, since Villanova is out.
Go Louisville + Indiana!!!!
Villanova is out? Rats--my boss is a Villanova alum, and I'm due in at the office today. I'll have to extend comfort and condolences. I don't know how involved he is in rooting for basketball; he was a football player. But I'm sure it stings. I'll have to bring in some sympathy ice cream.
Also, Louisa, is Greg Smith your student? He's from Omaha, so I'm making an educated guess!
Or Wes Elkmeier?
Colorado State is doing some great ball and keep Louisville
on their toes!
Good to hear he had a good game for himself.
I don't say he was a great kid because he made it as a division I athlete. He just was truly a great kid to teach. His parents did an awesome job of keeping him grounded through all the attention he got for sports; I can't say enough about them. By contrast, I had another D-1 level athlete super star getting comparable attention a few years later and her ego was only outdistanced by her mother's ego on her behalf. Teaching her was an insufferable experience. And she has played in high profile games available on television in our area,too. I make no effort to watch.
Yes, I agree, Chris. There are skaters who just make me happy that they are in the world, and I always watch them with eagerness. You folk who get to go to competitions have even more knowledge of how the skaters behave and may even get to know a parent or two. I've heard such good things from you all about some of the skaters.
That's touching to hear how down to earth he was! But yes, I agree with Chris and the others that I tend to like and root for skaters who have a great attitude or have great personalities.
So looks like the Catholic contingent is down to Marquette and La Salle. Indiana struggled their way into to the sweet sixteen. And FGCU? Awesome!
I love that we learn about these tiny colleges we never heard of before because they just clobber the superpowers.
We Philadelphians are celebrating La Salle University (used to be a college when my brother attended @ that time a Cathloic college with a very small Jewish student body - he was very happy there as the school was very accommodating to students of other religions) making it to the "Sweet Sixteen."
I'm a native of Philadelphia -- spent my grade school years there -- so I was rooting for my Philadelphia teams. Rooted for Villanova, as my brother went to school there for a bit, but now more than willing to root for La Salle, especially now that it and Marquette are the only Catholic schools left (I'm also Catholic).
Also very impressed with how Temple played. Though they lost, they really made it difficult for Indiana, which is an impressive feat in itself.
By the way, NYT declares La Salle the true "statistical" Cinderella of the tournament: http://thequad.blogs.nytimes.com/201...prise-lasalle/

Looking for Point-and-shoot Cameras?
Start shoppingVideo: Nikon S1000pj Digital Camera
Nikon's S1000pj features a built-in projector so you can share your photos right away. See it in action in this short Crutchfield review.
Tara: Hi, I'm Tara, and I'm here in Crutchfield's video studio with the Nikon S1000pj. And this little digital camera gives you everything that you'd expect from a Nikon camera. You're going to get 12-megapixel recording, 5X optical zoom, optical image stabilization and a whole lot more.
But what sets this camera apart is that it has a built in projector, so as soon as you take your photos, you can turn the projector on and show those images on a wall, on the side of a tent, and it's just a whole lot of fun. It's really ideal for kids who always want to see their pictures right after you take them, or for sharing with grandparents. You can bring the camera over to their house and project your latest vacation photos up on the wall.
You can project an image from ten inches to six feet away from any wall. And a handy little focus slider on the top lets you dial in the focus so that everything will appear really crisp. Nikon also includes a stand and remote so you can set the camera down, sit back on the couch, and flip through a slide show.

www.larksperennials.com I have been gardening here at my current home for 13 years. There are only a few plants that I can say are 13 years old. All others have been moved, divided or thrown out. I am a VERY passionate gardener and somewhat of an artsy lady. I view my gardens as a canvas. A painting that I am forever trying to make perfect. I like to help others with inexpensive ways to garden and create art for their landscape. I will walk you through my gardens from Spring through Winter. I hope you ENJOY the stroll.

Bedard leads Astros in return to Seattle
With first-start butterflies now gone, Mariners rookie Brandon Maurer takes the hill on Tuesday night at Safeco Field as Seattle square off against Houston Astros left-hander Erik Bedard, who will return to Safeco Field for the first time since he wore the home uniform there in 2011.
Maurer is the first to admit that he had a few jitters during his first start this season.
Making his Major League debut on Thursday against the A's after jumping from Double-A, the right-hander surrendered six runs on eight hits in six innings for the loss.
"I got the nerves out a little bit and definitely learned," Maurer said. "So I'm looking forward to going out there this time and building off my last start. I learned more about me than basically anything else. I need to go out there and have focus for every pitch. You can't take any pitches off and definitely want to be able to execute pitches."
Bedard signed with the Mariners prior to the 2008 season, going 15-14 with a 3.31 ERA before he was traded to the Red Sox on July 31, 2011.
Bedard will make his first start of the season for the Astros after tossing 3 1/3 scoreless innings in relief on Opening Night against the Rangers to pick up his first career save.
"It will be fun," Bedard said of his return. "I was here for a couple of years and had fun. They are good fans, good people and good teammates. I still have good friends on the team, and it will be fun."
Astros: Fields to DL; Clemens recalled
Houston placed right-hander Josh Fields on the 15-day disabled list Monday with a right forearm strain and recalled right-hander Paul Clemens from Triple-A Oklahoma City.
While Clemens has been a starter for much of his career, Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow said the front office is split on whether his future is in the rotation or bullpen. He pitched in relief during Spring Training, striking out the side against Washington on March 7.
"That's one of the reasons he got the call and not [Jordan] Lyles," Luhnow said. "He's been able to do the relief thing very well in Spring Training, because he's got absolutely dominant, powerful stuff. This is an opportunity for him to come up while Fields is out and show us what he can do in a big league bullpen. It doesn't mean he won't go back to being a starter, but right now, given the role we need, he's the right guy and he deserves it."
Mariners: Morse returns to Safeco
Michael Morse was in the home dugout at Safeco Field on Monday for the first time since Seattle traded him to the Nationals in 2009.
"It goes a little deeper than just the game," said the 6-foot-5, 245-pound left fielder who returned to Seattle in a trade this past offseason. "When I first got a callup here in 2005, I was a young kid and this was the biggest stadium I'd ever been in. There were a lot of 'oohs' and 'ahhs' coming from me."
He finished Monday's game going 0-for-4 with a strikeout.
Worth noting
• The Mariners have not made a move with outfielder Casper Wells, who was designated for assignment on March 31. The team has until Wednesday to either trade, release or option him to the Minors if he clears waivers.
• The Astros have lost six straight since their Opening Night win.

Regarding the shirt, shouldn't the green light on the mouse be blue? The only thing I can figure out the light is coming from is the beaker filled with blue to his left.
spookynutz wrote:It'll never happen, but I wish Woot! would change their policy so that voting on a shirt means that you automatically get billed for any shirts you vote on that prints.
The problem with this is it would have the potential to be very discouraging to new designers who might not normally get votes. Personally, if there is a design I like, but not necessarily enough to wear or buy, I'll still throw it a vote. I want the designer to come back and continue to submit things, because they will get better as time goes on.
Darquis wrote:I wouldn't use the words adder uses, but some of the sentiment is shared: if this weren't a reference to HHG, would people like it and be voting on it?
I'll be honest and say I wouldn't. The shirt amuses me because it is a reference to one of my favorite parts in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. However, I'm not exactly sure why that's a bad thing. The context is part of the design, so changing that is going to change what people think about it. To me, it'd be the same thing as asking "Would you vote for this shirt if it used a frog instead of a teddy bear?"

Apples and Oranges... A frog wouldn't make sense. The point of that shirt is that the boy stole his sister's teddy to cut it up and she's mad. This shirt is basing its appeal on a reference to a popular series of books. If you replaced the whale and bowl of petunias with something else that had no pop culture reference, there would be a lot less votes, but it would still make perfect sense and fit the theme.

I love it. I would buy it for my kid, no doubt.
Re: Conclusion: An Edgy 'Do Scores Chicks
Some people say that tests have shown it actually takes closer to 30 seconds before bacteria (or whatever) get to dropped food. My response is always something like, "What if it falls in a puddle of urine?" I don't know why someone would be eating anything over a puddle of urine, but that's beside the point. The point is, after all that, I follow the 5 second rule. The execution here is amazing!

Fantastic! And Nicely done with the animals... I think your animal shirts will do well I'm really hoping that your sabertooth shirt will get an HM! Also... I think you could totally re-work the colors to make a night version as well- I love this one, but I'm wondering if it would look cool in nighttime colors too! Just an idea :P P.S.

Precisely. There have been many designs that I wouldn't want to wear, but that I think deserved a print because they were great designs. If anything, tying purchases to votes would hamper the ability of many quality designs to get votes. Trying to shoehorn voters with convoluted voting regulations won't improve the quality of Derby prints. As long as it's a straightforward public vote, the lowest common denominator will, more often than not, rise to the top (winners like today's Drakxxx print notwithstanding). The best way to improve derby prints is to have more editor's picks, either by Adder's suggestion, or at least with more EC's. Woot has occasionally had EC's after the usual four that print post-Double Take. I wish they'd do that more often. Far more often.

Thanks, you two. I really do appreciate your encouragement. This derby just has some serious talent in it producing some amazing designs. I just need to stretch my imagination a little more and add elements that others would like to wear.
I agree. And although we had similar ideas in our designs, I really do have to give you kudos for yours. Your execution is loads better, and I'm envious that you were able to incorporate the reference from a stellar piece of literature. Plus the feather and hammer reference from the Apollo 15 moon landing. Nobody else mentioned that for some reason.

It's easy to say what someone else should do -- especially, when we haven't walked in their shoes. Fortunately for all of us -- life will present us with the same problems that we judged how someone else should have done it -- or should do it -- and, we'll get our own individual opportunity to be faced with a very similar problem -- so that we can find out how well we did when faced with the problem.
Good luck to you when you go through the fire. I hope you'll do well and survive it -- just as well as you think someone else should be able to survive it.
When I went through it myself -- I learned how emotionally fragile human beings really are. I learned not to judge the other guy or girl so quickly.
