Jason Schmidt Rumors
Jason Schmidt To Retire?
MLB.com's Ken Gurnick confirmed Wednesday that Jason Schmidt is likely to retire.
Schmidt filed for free agency last week, but it may have simply been a formality. "Leaving my options open," he said. "At this moment, no, I'm not thinking about pitching anymore. Down the road, I'm not sure. Initially, I'd say no way. I'm not planning on playing at this moment. In my mind, I retired when I left in August."
The 36-year-old right-hander made just 10 starts during his three-year tenure with the Dodgers, finishing 3-6 with a 6.02 ERA. He has pitched 13 major league seasons, and, if truly done, will end his career with a 130-96 record, 3.96 ERA and 1,758 strikeouts.
Odds & Ends: Astros, Schmidt, Callaspo
A few Thursday evening links to browse through….
- MLB.com's Brian McTaggart reports that the Houston Astros will decrease their spending in 2010, after the team's payroll exceeded $100MM the first time in 2009.
- Filing for free agency may have just been a formality for Jason Schmidt, according to Ken Gurnick of MLB.com. The 36-year-old righty looks headed for retirement.
- Dick Kaegel of MLB.com hasn't heard anything that substantiates rumors of an Alberto Callaspo-A.J. Ellis swap between the Royals and Dodgers.
- Evan Brunell of The Hardball Times is "horrified" that the Phillies are considering Placido Polanco for their third base opening.
- Jenifer Langosch at MLB.com fields Pirates-related questions from readers. Most of them react to Pittsburgh's recent acquisition of Akinori Iwamura.

Dodgers Notes: Manny, Schmidt, Offseason
MLB.com's Ken Gurnick takes a look at what he figures to be an "exciting" offseason for the Dodgers. Let's go over the highlights:
- No surprise that Gurnick lists Manny Ramirez as the biggest question mark heading into 2010. Manny's 37, and while many feel he's a lock to pick up his $20MM option for 2010, Gurnick cautions not to be too sure. As Gurnick points out, Manny is as unpredictable as they come, as is his agent, Scott Boras. Gurnick reminds us of 2006, when no one thought J.D. Drew would walk away from $33MM guaranteed, but he and Boras did just that, securing more years and more dollars with the Red Sox. Additionally, Manny's told his teammates that the pounding on his legs is getting to him, and that he ought to be a designated hitter.
- The Dodgers are set to have up to $40MM come off the books this offseason, which should more than cover the arbitration raises due to Andre Ethier, Matt Kemp, James Loney, Russell Martin, Chad Billingsley, Jonathan Broxton, George Sherrill, and Hong-Chih Kuo.
- Jason Schmidt accounts for $15.5MM of that $40MM sum. Gurnick says that Schmidt is "expected to retire."
- The Dodgers did extremely well signing Orlando Hudson and Randy Wolf to one-year deals last offseason, but now find themselves right back where they started, writes Gurnick, with second base and starting pitching as the biggest needs.
- Gurnick lists outfielder Jason Repko as a non-tender candidate.
- Rather than give the second base job to Blake DeWitt, Gurnick feels that an acquisition for second base is "almost a certainty."

Odds And Ends: Cordero, Schmidt, Griffey
Another round of links…
- Reds GM Walt Jocketty tells MLB.com's Mark Sheldon that no team has inquired on Francisco Cordero.
- Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports has a series of predictions for the season's final month. He doesn't expect Jake Peavy to win more than a single game for the White Sox.
- MLB.com's Ken Gurnick reports that Jason Schmidt's season is over. Schmidt, who won three games in as many seasons for the Dodgers, hinted he may retire.
- Ken Griffey Jr. tells C. Trent Rosecrans of CNati.com he's having the time of his life back in Seattle. He's open to staying with the Mariners, but says he understands if the team decides to move on. Check out the entire interview – it's a great read.
- Roy Oswalt says there's "a dead feeling" in the Astros clubhouse, according to Richard Justice of the Houston Chronicle. Justice argues that "the people in charge have screwed up the franchise."
- Tony Massarotti of the Boston Globe reports that the Red Sox evaluated Billy Wagner in depth before trading for him.

Rosenthal's Full Count Video: Yankees, Dodgers, Pirates
The tireless Ken Rosenthal of FoxSports.com has a new Full Count video up. Let's dive in…
- Yankees GM Brian Cashman told Rosenthal that he was "very aggressive" going after pitching help, whether it be high-end starters, low-end starters, or relievers. "I was on all of it," Cashman said.
- Cashman specifically targeted Jarrod Washburn, but the Mariners asked for top prospect Austin Jackson in return. The Yankees were also "one of several clubs" to inquire about Felix Hernandez.
- Rosenthal says Heath Bell was their primary target among relievers, as the idea was to make him the primary setup man for Mariano Rivera, and possibly put Phil Hughes or Alfredo Aceves back into the rotation.
- The Dodgers "never got close" in their attempted blockbuster for Adrian Gonzalez and Bell. The deal would have helped Los Angeles' rotation by shortening the game from the back end with another elite reliever.
- They still have issues in the rotation however, as Jason Schmidt topped out at 87 last night. Only two National League clubs have gotten fewer innings out of their starters than the Dodgers.
- We won't know the true result of the Pirates' firesale until 2011 or 2012, but the early returns on the Jason Bay trade are not good. Rosenthal says the Rays may have been willing to pay more for Bay at the time, possibly including the since-traded Jason Hammel and/or Edwin Jackson in a package.
- Hitters and relievers will be in "ample supply" during the August waiver period, but quality starting pitchers … not so much. Doug Davis might be one of the best available starters, and the Diamondbacks will need to be realistic about a return since they are unlikely to offer him arbitration after the year.
- There was "precious little action" on Davis in July. When Rosenthal mentioned to a club official that the offers for Davis might not be much better in August, the official responded "they can't be much worse."

Odds And Ends: Smoltz, Cards, Rangers
Some links as we begin a week of non-stop rumors…
- Joel Sherman of the New York Post says John Smoltz, Jonathan Sanchez and Jason Schmidt, who all start tonight, will have an impact on their teams' deadline decisions. Red Sox officials want to see how much they can count on Smoltz, Sanchez can quiet teams' concerns about his control with a good start and Schmidt can provide the Dodgers a back-of-the-rotation arm.
- Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch says Troy Glaus and Khalil Greene are both advancing to Triple A for the next stage of their respective rehab assignments.
- Evan Brunell of the Hardball Times finds the Padres-Orioles trade baffling from the Padres' perspective.
- Texas Rangers Trades interviews MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan and the chat is worth a read.
- Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram lists 11 pitchers the Rangers could potentially trade for, including Roy Halladay.
Full Story | Comments | Categories: Baltimore Orioles | Boston Red Sox | Jason Schmidt | John Smoltz | Jonathan Sanchez | Khalil Greene | Los Angeles Dodgers | Roy Halladay | San Diego Padres | San Francisco Giants | St. Louis Cardinals | Texas Rangers | Troy Glaus
Odds & Ends: Glaus, Pirates, Schmidt, Cubs, Reds
A few links for your Saturday evening reading…
- MLB.com's B.J. Rains says that Troy Glaus is going to work out in the outfield as he rehabs from offseason shoulder surgery. The Cardinals haven't committed to using him in the outfield when he returns, they're just giving it a try to see what happens. Glaus played five innings in left field tonight before moving to first base. The Cards have been looking to add a bat seemingly all year.
- John Perrotto of Pirates Report.com says that it's unlikely Jack Wilson and Freddy Sanchez sign extensions. This morning we learned that the Bucs lowballed both players with their offers.
- Jason Schmidt will return to the Dodgers' rotation on Monday, reports MLB.com's Ken Gurnick. It'll be just his seventh start for the Dodgers since signing his three year, $47MM deal in Decemeber 2006, and his first since June 16th of 2007.
- The Cubs have signed second round pick D.J. LeMahieu, according to Carrie Muskat of MLB.com. LeMahieu was the 79th overall pick in last month's draft, which has an expected slot recommendation of around $460k.
- Bronson Arroyo wants to see the Reds kept together at the trade deadline rather than having the veterans sold off, says MLB.com's Mark Sheldon.

Odds And Ends: Renteria, Lugo, Phillies
It's a busy day for international signings, but lots is going on at the major league level, so let's take a look:
- The Dodgers are looking for pitching, but how about Jason Schmidt? He pitched well at Triple A for the second time yesterday, according to MLB.com's Ken Gurnick.
- Newsday's Ken Davidoff creates a history of recent deadline deals.
- Edgar Renteria told Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle that he turned down two multi-year offers to sign with the Giants.
- Think it's too early to talk about Bryce Harper? Well Joe Dunand Jr., Alex Rodriguez's nephew, is just 13 years old and, as Ian Begley of the New York Daily News reports, he's already quite a slugger.
- The relative of another superstar signed with the Angels. Mike Piazza's second cousin will go pro, according to the Florida Tech Sports site.
- Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times crunches some numbers and suggests Franklin Gutierrez could be more valuable than Adam Jones this year.
- Kevin Towers says the addition of Bob Melvin to the Padres' staff wasn't meant to threaten Bud Black, according to Nick Canepa and Bill Center of the San Diego Union-Tribune.
- Julio Lugo admits that his deal with the Red Sox hasn't worked out, according to Steve Buckley of the Boston Herald.
- Jim Salisbury of the Philadelphia Inquirer says the Phillies have more minor league pitching depth than ever.
Full Story | Comments | Categories: Boston Red Sox | Edgar Renteria | Franklin Gutierrez | Jason Schmidt | Julio Lugo | Los Angeles Dodgers | Philadelphia Phillies | San Francisco Giants | Seattle Mariners
Odds & Ends: Moore, Schmidt, Atkins
On this date back in 2003, Johnny Damon hit a single, a double, and a triple in a 14-run first inning against the Marlins. The Red Sox set a league record by scoring ten runs before making an out.
On to the linkage…
- Matthew Pouliot of Circling The Bases says that Dayton Moore's moves over the last season and a half are enough to warrant his dismissal. He notes they have a more than qualified replacement already in-house in senior advisor Mike Arbuckle.
- Ben Bolch of The LA Times notes that Jason Schmidt threw 104 pitches over 7.2 shutout in a rehab start yesterday. We know the Dodgers are looking for pitching, but a healthy and reasonably effective Schmidt could lessen that urgency.
- Tracy Ringolsby writes that Garrett Atkins' recent hot streak creates "more of a possibility of another team having interest in acquiring him." Atkins is hitting .340-.415-.553 in June.
- The Rangers have been getting good production from unexpected sources like Jason Jennings, says Ken Sherrington of The Dallas Morning News.
- Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez says he's happy to be in Colorado, according to Susan Slusser of The SF Chronicle.
- Joe Cowley tweets this Ozzie Guillen quote: "The people that run baseball teams now are soft." I wonder what Kenny Williams thinks about that.
- Marc Carig writes that the Rockies had begun combing through the Yankees' farm system in advance of a potential Huston Street trade back in May.

The Dodgers' Rotation
They're 15-8, in first place in the NL West, but the Dodgers face questions about a rotation that includes three ERAs of 5.50 or more. Behind Chad Billingsley and Randy Wolf, they have Clayton Kershaw, who hasn't pitched out the the fifth inning his last two starts, James McDonald, who has walked a batter an inning this year, and Eric Stults, who's allowing two baserunners an inning. Yahoo's Tim Brown takes stock of the rotation and how Ned Colletti will progress with it.
- Brown says it's unlikely the Dodgers will add Pedro Martinez, Paul Byrd, Odalis Perez or Freddy Garcia.
- One scout's analysis: "There's plenty of pitching available. None you'd want."
- Brown suggests the Dodgers need a club like the Indians, Reds or Mariners to fall from contention so some quality arms become available.
- If David Price pitches his way into the Rays' rotation, Jeff Niemann could become trade bait.
The Dodgers could rely on pitchers already in the organization. Hiroki Kuroda is rehabbing, though MLB.com's Ken Gurnick reports the righty is likely weeks away from a return. Jason Schmidt is rehabbing too, according to Gurnick. Jeff Weaver pitched well against the Padres last night and Eric Milton and Shawn Estes are stashed away in the minors.

Video: 2 hours of Mario Kart Wii footage
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Driving, Nintendo, Trailers, Wii
The folks over at Wii Nintendo were able to spend some quality time with Mario Kart Wii, and they captured a good two hours of footage for your viewing enjoyment. The footage, embedded above, shows off all 32 courses from the game, so if you want to be completely surprised, you may want to steer clear. The game is played on the 150cc setting in the video, and you are also able to check out some of the menus and all that. Finally, they give their thoughts on the game, as well as the Wii Wheel.

Nintendo to release new white Gamecube controller
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Nintendo, Nintendo Gamecube, Wii
Look out, world - Nintendo is about to unleash a brand new Gamecube controller. Yeah, you read that right. What's old is now new again. The "new" controller will be the exact same design as the original Gamecube controller, except this one will be white, and the cable length will be a good 3 meters. Now, if it isn't obvious to you why Nintendo is doing this, let us spell it out for you. It's white so that it matches Wii, the cable is longer than the original because people are sitting farther away from their televisions than they were 8 years ago, and the only reason they are even releasing a Gamecube controller in the first place is because of how massively popular Super Smash Bros: Brawl has become. Let's face it - playing that game with a Wiimote, or even Wiimote-Nunchuk combo is horrible compared to the joy that the Gamecube controller brings.
Our wish? That Nintendo would make a Gamecube controller that plugs into the Wiimote instead, keeping it wireless.

HP 2133 Mini-Note PC launches
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Corporate News, Design, PC / Laptop
Today, HP made rumors of their releasing a low-cost ultra-portable PC a reality with the official announcement of the HP 2133 Mini-Note. Meant for the education market, the HP 2133 Mini-Note is designed with students in mind, and is optimized for both in-classroom and out-of-school learning. The 2133 Mini-Note features an 8.9-inch WXGA scratch-resistant display, lightweight anodized aluminum shell,and Wi-Fi. HP also threw in their 3D DriveGuard technology, which locks the drive in the event of sudden movement for protection of data, as well as HP DuraKeys, which prevents fading. You know kids and their greasy fingers.
"HP listened to our needs and now is delivering a product designed by education for education," said Chris Sieger, director of information technology for Alexandria City Public Schools in Virginia. "Teachers and technology are the two most important assets in education. HP's announcement demonstrates that it understands what schools need from industry."
HP is aiming to keep this one inexpensive, so the Mini-Note starts at $499 USD. You can add on things like Bluetooth, integrated VGA webcam, and CompuTrace software which helps local law enforcement track stolen computers.
The HP 2133 Mini-Note PC should be available later this month, and you can check out more images of the device in our Mini-Note photo gallery.

3G iPhone launching within 60 days
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Handhelds, Rumors, Videos, Wireless / WiFi
In the above video, the main throwback into gadget news, Walt Mossberg, mentions that the iPhone will be 3G sometime in the next 60 days. Now we know, we talk about analysts making such claims all the time, but in case you didn't know, Walt Mossberg is pretty much the guy that gets to play with all these things first. Before anyone else in the industry we mean. So when he throws out a claim like this, we are of the opinion that the grain of salt that you need to take it with is a lot smaller than all the other guys. Oh, and this goes along with our story that Apple may have placed the order for 3G iPhones, and the fact that iPhones seem to be sold out at a bunch of Apple Stores. It just makes sense.
The question is, once a 3G version of the iPhone is made available from Apple, are you buying?
EDIT: Mossberg has since said his comment was just based on the speculation that we all are under, however, that said - it's Walt. You know this guy is under NDA. Even if it was prediction-based, rather than a slip of the tongue, the evidence is all around us.

AMD announces new Phenom line headed by X4 9850 Black Edition
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Corporate News, PC / Laptop
AMD has just taken the wraps off their newest Phenom processors, and we think we are impressed. The entire lineup, which ranges from a triple-core low-end, to a quad-core beast, are all 65 nanometer chips. That means more efficiency - they retain the performance of AMD's previous 90nm chips, but with reduced power consumption. Of course, that is likely not what you care about most when it comes to the new Phenoms - you want the details, right? Well, we have the Phenom X4 9850 Black Edition, Phenom X4 9750, Phenom X4 9100e Energy Efficient, and the Phenom X3 triple-core. The X4 9850 and X4 9750 feature true quad-core chips - if you don't know what that means, here's a video explanation of true quad core from AMD themselves.
The X4 9100e Energy Efficient chip is just that - it's the world's first 65-watt quad-core desktop processor. Lastly, the X3 triple-core Phenom chips are another first - these are the world's first x86 triple-core processors. A nice bump up from dual core chips for those who can't afford to go all out with a quad core. These will be available in 2.1 GHz and 2.3 GHz options. We have the specs on each after the jump.

When Apple products don't "just work"
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Handhelds, PC / Laptop
Apple loves to tout that PC users should switch to Macs because they "just work". Now, we've enjoyed what has been a mostly blissful love affair with Apple products over the past few years, save for a few problems here and there. When an issue has come up, we've found that Apple was quick to the rescue (in some cases, we needed to make sure we were actually at a Genius Bar that was competent) and fixed our issues. Sure, the iPhone has had a few annoyances here and there, but overall, we've been pleased.
However, our pal Xavier over at Notebooks.com has recently experienced what has to be one of the oddest bouts of bad luck with Apple products I've ever seen. From two dead iMacs, to a completely dead MacBook Pro battery, to multiple iPhones malfunctioning. To top all that off, he is even experiencing the delay of a third-party Apple accessory he is waiting on, because the manufacturer is saying Apple is taking their time on certifying the product.
It happens to all companies out there friends. Even the "almighty" Apple isn't immune. Hit the Read More link below for the full scoop.

Anyhow, have at it. We look forward to making fools out of ourselves again come CES 2009. Oh, and next year we will have to try and beat "hot dog guy" in the category of overall buffoonery. You'll have to watch the video to see what we mean.
Windows Vista SP1 goes public tomorrow
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Microsoft, PC / Laptop, Software
Word on the street is that Microsoft plans on finally releasing the first service pack for Windows Vista - that's right, the long-awaited Windows Vista SP1 will be yours for the downloading in 24 hours. You'll have to download it manually.
In a month's time, on April 18, Vista SP1 will be added to the automatic update system. So the more casual bunch who rely on Windows Update for all their security needs will all come in under a second wave of installations. Here's hoping for less crashing, better performance, and all that other good stuff. We've been waiting for this for over a year.
Speaking of which, those Vista price drops will also be going into effect this week. If you go ahead and install SP1, hit us up and let us know how it went in the comments.

Managing Medications
Cancer treatment usually involves taking a lot of medications. In addition to drugs directly related to treatment, cancer patients may also be taking medications for pain, nausea, low blood counts and other treatment- or cancer-related symptoms. Some patients may have to take up to 20 pills a day, and keeping track of medications can be a challenge. With some organization, you can make sure you're taking the right medication at the right time, and avoid dosing errors.
Organizing your medications can make your life simpler and help you get the most benefit possible from your treatment.
Keep a Record of Your Medications
Maintain a master list of all of your medications. This record should include basic information such as your name, home and work phone numbers, blood type, medical conditions, emergency contact information, your doctor's name and phone number and a list of any food or drug allergies. Keep the drug list with you and bring it to every doctor's appointment.
Include the following information about specific drugs:
- Name and strength of the medication
- Dosage instructions
- The color of the pill
- What you are taking it for
- When you began taking it
- Any food or drug interactions
- Any over-the-counter medications, vitamins and herbal supplements you're taking. Some of these can interact with your prescription medication and possibly interfere with their effectiveness.
Organizing Medications
There are a variety of ways to help you remember when to take your medications. Choose the system that works best for you.
Pill organizers: These containers, available in different shapes and sizes at drug stores, have compartments for the pills to be taken each day, or at different times of the day. Some have child safety locks, reminder alarms and automatic pill dispensers. There are also an assortment of alarms and watches that signal you when it's time to take medication.
Create your own organizer: Place each day's pills in a small cup (or two cups if you take medications at two different times of day). If you must take pills several times throughout the day, an empty egg carton can be an effective organizer. Number the 12 sections of the carton for 12 hours of the day. Place the medication you need to take at that time in the proper container.
Charts and calendars: Write your drug schedule on a calendar, and cross items off when you have taken those pills. You can also use different-colored stickers on the lids of each medicine bottle. Every time you take the medicine, place a sticker of the same color on the calendar as a visual reminder of which pills you've taken.

Technobabble is awesome, though.
When the alarm went off at 5am, I wasn't sure where I was. I mean, I knew I was in bed, but I was on the wrong side of the bed, and why was I awake when it's still dark outside? After a few seconds, my brain finished booting up and I remembered that I am in Vancouver, I sleep on the wrong side o...
I'm incredibly glad I've only had to fly out of smaller airports since this new policy's been started. I'm one of those lucky ones who can refuse to fly, so I don't plan on getting on a plane for a while (unless I go to Europe, in which case I'll convince my parents to let me fly out of Canada or something).
I don't know if you're familiar with AngryAussie at all, he's done a lot of rant videos on youtube about the subject, and he found an article about the reason the airport in Jerusalem has such great security when they have none of the invasive methods/policies that we do in the US.Basically the TSA fails at actual safety because they just care about looking like they're doing something, whereas real, successful security is very hard to see.
You shouldn't have had to go through that. Nobody should.
Yesterday, I was touched -- in my opinion, inappropriately -- by a TSA agent at LAX. I'm not going to talk about it in detail until I can speak with an attorney, but I've spent much of the last 24 hours replaying it over and over in my mind, and though some of the initial outrage has faded, I st...

On the bright side, at least you've grown to be an adult with the courage to willingly share these painfully awkward teenage moments with an equally large audience.
Most of us are awkward teenagers; it's a class feature that stays with us until we level up to our twenties. But most of you didn't have your awkward teenage years play out in front of the world, preserved for future generations to enjoy, thusly: Talk about deer in the headlights! Everything a...
Here's my delayed thoughts on the matter:
As someone who's been generally clueless as to what you've accomplished in terms of gaming advocacy, I will admit I was surprised and confused by the whole ordeal as it unfolded on twitter. Honestly, the only reason I followed you in the first place is because I read Jeph Jacques's Questionable Content, saw some of your back-and-forth tweets with him, and liked what I saw you posting on twitter. I didn't watch Star Trek much as a kid, so you were pretty much a complete stranger to me, and I didn't really do much research beyond reading some of your blog posts.
I didn't know much of your history with the gamers' community until this incident unfolded and you linked to this blog post on twitter. Now, having a better idea of what you've done and what you stand for, I can completely understand why you reacted the way you did. Everyone has those HULK SMASH moments, you're no worse than any of the rest of us.
And to be honest, on a personal level, I'm glad I saw it happen. I'm a not-quite-hardcore gamer myself and I've always thought that the way gaming has been looked at by the media has been, for lack of a more polite term, complete bullshit. Sadly, I didn't realize that there were people out there who were fighting to change that, but now that I know more about the issue, I am very glad to see that people like you exist.
Also, the fact that you apologized for reacting that way while still standing up for your opinion on the matter just increases my respect for you.
Last night, I was supposed to perform in the Thrilling Adventure Hour at Largo with a bunch of my friends, and a bunch of people who I really admire. Unfortunately, the sinus infection I was fighting all week had other plans, so I stayed home and rested on the couch with a screening of Repo Man....

Be sure to see Katrina Brown's movie "Traces of the Trade" -- revelations of her Rhode Island family who made millions from the slave trade, which the movie traces. She's a graduate of EDS. This was shown at GC 2006. In one place the film proclaims that it reveals secrets from the 'deep north.' Yesterday I finished listening to John Grisham read his FORD COUNTY, a collection of short stories. I had to stop my iPod several times to Get a semblance of control over my emotions when he read the last story, about a gay man who returns home from San Francisco to Clinton, MS, to die of AIDS in 1989. Not to be exposed to him, his family arranges for a black woman who rents from them to take him in. Grisham has not one sentimental drop of blood in his veins.

How many times have you found yourself with a dead laptop battery and no outlet in sight? I know I have, but it's only happened to me on a few occasions thanks to these tips. You can mitigate being left dry without power to run your laptop by following the easy to implement steps below.
Some of the tips below may seem insignificant with regards to the amount of battery saved, however combined these tips could add minutes to even half an hour of additional battery life so make sure to use them in unison.
1. Reduce Screen Brightness
One of the simplest and most effective ways to reduce the amount of electricity consumed by your notebook is to reduce the brightness of the screen. This can be accomplished in several ways: You can set the brightness manually by using the buttons found on the keyboard that will control the brightness of the screen.
The second option would be to use the built-in power control options in Windows to automatically adjust the brightness of the screen based on use. In Windows 7 you have the option to automatically turn off the display after "x" number of minutes without use. If automatically turning off the display doesn't work for you then you can set the display to automatically dim to the lowest setting after "x" number of minutes without use. Continue reading

Ex-cop Sent To Jail For Flashlight Assault
A former Springfield Massachusetts police officer will serve time behind bars for pummeling a man on the face with a flashlight after a traffic stop. The brutal assault was recorded by a passerby and the video posted to the internet, and was key evidence at the trial. WAMC"s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill was at Wednesday's sentencing hearing in Chicopee District Court.
Former Springfield police officer Jeffrey Asher was ordered to serve 18 months in jail followed by two years probation, and to undergo therapy for anger management. Judge Maureen Walsh sentenced Asher, who had been found guilty after a jury trial last month on two counts of assault and battery, one being with a dangerous weapon
Asher struck Melvin Jones III at least 17 times with a flashlight causing numerous broken facial bones, broken teeth, and a broken finger. Jones was left partially blind in one eye. Defense lawyer Joseph Monahan said Asher apologizes for the injuries Jones sustained, but he continues to insist he acted in self-defense, claiming Jones was trying to grab another officer's gun.
Monahan is planning to file an appeal.
The judge's sentence adhered to what had been recommended by the office of Hampden District Attorney Mark Mastrionni.
Jones, in a victim impact statement he read in court , described his injuries, and said he remains bitter about what happened. He said ..qoute. " No matter what somebody does, nobody deserves to be beaten like a dog, like some animal in a cage." His father, Melvin Jones, Jr called the sentence just.
The courtroom was packed with more than 150 people, including members of Asher's family and friends including police officers. Several waived as Asher was led away by court officers to begin serving his jail sentence. Some left the courtroom in tears. They declined comment afterwards.
Community activists were also present for the sentencing. The president of the Springfield chapter of the NAACP, Rev. Talbert Swan said a criminal had been taken off the streets.
Asher is white, Melvin Jones III is black. Jones has a criminal record and is currently awaiting trial on drug trafficking charges. Asher had no previous criminal record, but he was reportedly disciplined multiple times during his 16 year career as a police officer over complaints of excessive force.
Jones has filed a federal court lawsuit against the city of Springfield and its police department alleging Asher and other officers violated his civil rights.
Asher was fired from the Springfield Police Department 8 months after the assault on Jones. But the day before his official termination, Asher was granted retirement with a disability pension. The city's retirement board is expected to vote next month on a motion to strip Asher of his pension, which is 45 thousand, 347 dollars a year.

Mr. Forth: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Will you clarify for the House that the motion, which the Order Paper states can be debated for up to one and a half hours, is debatable and, therefore, that it is in order for hon. Members to raise these matters and to ask legitimate questions about them? The Leader of the House seems to be implying that that is not the case.
Mr. Deputy Speaker: Of course, the motion is debatable. That is why I allowed the hon. Member for Spelthorne (Mr. Wilshire) to speak and that is why I am allowing the Leader of the House to speak. The right hon. Lady is in perfect order at the moment.
Mrs. Taylor: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker. As I was saying, I have looked at the list of those nominated from the Labour Benches and have been extremely impressed by the expertise of the new Members whom
we have been able to nominate. I would have had every confidence in those Labour Members. If the right hon. Member for Bromley and Chislehurst and his Conservative colleagues do not have confidence in the person whom the Opposition have nominated through the usual channels, I am perfectly willing to take the matter back to the usual channels and look at it again. On that basis, perhaps it is best that I beg to ask leave to withdraw the motion.
Motion, by leave, withdrawn.
Motion made, and Question proposed, That this House do now adjourn.--[Mr. Clelland.]
Mr. Bob Russell (Colchester):
When I first decided on this debate, I thought that only the county of Essex was subject to court closures of such magnitude, but, as we have heard in recent weeks and, indeed, this afternoon, magistrates courts are closing throughout the country. It could be said that the magistrates court system, which has evolved over centuries, is being systematically dismantled. That policy is driven by the Treasury and it will lead to fewer, larger courts and to almost a production-line distribution of justice. That is not what local justice is all about.
Essex courts have suffered cuts totalling £1 million in the past three years, on a budget of £7 million. The evidence shows that the object of the exercise is to reduce the number of courts in the county to five, although Essex has one of the largest populations of any shire county.
What is the object of the exercise? The consultation process has shown that everyone is against the court closures save the Crown Prosecution Service and the magistrates courts organisers. In other words, this is all about the convenience of the bureaucrats rather than the distribution of justice in local communities.
It is a case of one side of Government saving money--or so it seems--but that is more than outweighed by the costs to other aspects of Government and to the community at large. The move is also contrary to the Government's policies on traffic reduction. It may seem strange to mention that while on the subject of court closures, but it is a serious question and it needs to be addressed because people will have to travel further.
The Government's policies of greater police presence and being tough on crime are being undermined by magistrates courts committees shutting courts. MCCs are, of course, quangos. In Essex, the quango has seven members, unelected and unrepresentative of the county. They are not there to respond to the wishes of hon. Members across the political divide or local councils. All those involved in the life of our magistrates courts are opposed to the closures, but the MCC meeting behind closed doors--so much for open government and accountability--made the decision to close.
I invite the Minister to comment on who knows best about the court system in the county of Essex: those who have to be there--solicitors, probation officers and, above all, the police--or the bureaucrats who run the system. We acknowledge that there are financial constraints on the public sector, but to save money on the one hand the public purse will pay far more on the other for a worse service. Except for the Crown Prosecution Service, whose reduced staffing will be helped by having fewer courts, nobody supports the closures envisaged in Essex.
The chief constable of Essex, Mr. John Burrow, wrote to me saying:
The Minister noted:
There has been a range of media criticism. The courts at Halstead, Castle Hedingham and Southminster have been closed. Now Braintree, Clacton and Saffron Walden are under attack. Does the hon. Member for North Essex (Mr. Jenkin) wish to intervene?
Mr. Bernard Jenkin (North Essex)
indicated dissent.
Mr. Russell:
The offer was there.
When the Minister replies, will he dissociate himself from the words of the director of central services at Essex magistrates court, Mr. Richard Hawkes? He said:
(1) The following Standing Order (Environmental Audit Committee) be made:
(1) There shall be a select committee, called the Environmental Audit Committee, to consider to what extent the policies and programmes of government departments and non-departmental public bodies contribute to environmental protection and sustainable development; to audit their performance against such targets as may be set for them by Her Majesty's Ministers; and to report thereon to the House.
(2) The committee shall consist of fifteen members, of whom four shall be a quorum.
(3) Unless the House otherwise orders, each Member nominated to the committee shall continue to be a member of it for the remainder of the Parliament.
(4) The committee shall have power--
(a) to send for persons, papers and records, to sit notwithstanding any adjournment of the House, to adjourn from place to place, and to report from time to time;
(b) to appoint specialist advisers to supply information which is not readily available or to elucidate matters of complexity within the committee's order of reference;
(c) to communicate its evidence and any other documents relating to matters of common interest to any committee appointed by this House or by the Lords; and
(d) to meet concurrently with any committee appointed under Standing Order No. 152 (Select committees related to government departments), or any sub-committee thereof, or with any committee appointed by the Lords, or any sub-committee thereof, for the purposes of deliberating or examining witnesses.'
(2) Standing Order No. 152 (Select committees related to government departments) be amended, in line 27, after the word 'Accounts', by leaving out the word 'and', and in line 28, after the word 'Committee', by inserting the words 'and to the Environmental Audit Committee'.--[Mr. Clelland.]
10.41 pm
"I trust that you can bring to the attention of the House that this is not only a case where saving in one area of the criminal justice system will result in significant increased expenditure in other areas, but also there is a very real issue of the loss of local justice across large swathes of the County."
10 Nov 1997 : Column 685
Colchester is not going to lose its courts, at least not on current plans, but it will become a centre of courts for the whole of north Essex and further afield. In time, that will lead to the merger of the magistrates benches and to the loss of the local knowledge of local magistrates of local cases. Magistrates in Colchester will adjudicate cases from Clacton and Braintree, and vice versa.
"The magistracy deals with about 97 per cent. of criminal offices prosecuted in England and Wales. It also has important family and local licensing jurisdictions."
He also referred to the
"efficient and effective administration of the courts".--[Official Report, 29 October 1997; Vol. 299, c. 901.]
That is what it is all about. It is to do with the bureaucracy of the administration of the magistrates courts rather than fairness to the people involved.
"There's been a lot of wild talk but we have had no evidence to support the claims"
of those opposing the closures. Among those who have opposed the closures is the chief constable of Essex, who stated:
"The decision will greatly inconvenience the victims of crime and witnesses who are required to attend court . . . but more importantly it will in the long-term undermine the very concept of local justice as there are now large areas of Essex that are without a local court."
That is what is happening in a county that has one of the largest populations in the country.

Kansas City officials have chosen a contractor to build a proposed streetcar project while awaiting a state appeals court ruling over the legality of taxes to pay for it.
City officials on Tuesday chose a joint venture between St. Joseph-based Herzog Contracting Corp. and California-based rail contractor Stacy and Witbeck Inc. to be general manager/contractor for the streetcar line in downtown Kansas City. The Kansas City Star reported the City Council still must approve the choice.
Also on Tuesday, lawyers argued before a Missouri Court of Appeals panel over whether new downtown taxes to help pay for the $100 million streetcar project are constitutional. Two downtown property owners want to challenge the taxes in court, while the city contends it's too late to file the challenge.

Comments about Detroit Tigers Cufflinks and Tie Bar Gift Set:
The first time I went to put the tie clip on, the logo popped right off. It was only lightly glued on. I tried using gorilla glue to reattach it, but it popped right off again. Very poor quality. Came in a nice box, but do not purchase this if you plan on actually wearing it.

Dalai Lama retires as political leader of Tibet-in-exile.
The Dalai Lama ends his political role as Tibet's leader.
For years, as only the Dalai Lama would, he's pushed and promised that true democracy, not religious or kingly leadership, is the best form of government for future Tibetan generations. And while for years he's acted as number two in Tibetans' political life, he has still been looked to as number one.
Now all that formally changes, for all time.
Excerpt via New York Times:
For years, the Tibetan spiritual leader has spoken of his desire to cede political authority, or "retire" as he sometimes put it. But in Thursday's speech, the Dalai Lama made it official, announcing that he would propose the change during the session of the Tibetan parliament-in-exile that begins next week in Dharamsala, India…
Tim Johnson, a journalist and author specializing in Tibet, said the Dalai Lama's announcement should not be interpreted as a signal that his influence is waning. Even if the Dalai Lama's political authority is diluted, he remains the one figure capable of uniting and mobilizing Tibetans inside and outside of China, Mr. Johnson said.
"He may 'retire,' of sorts, but he will still play the predominant role," predicted Mr. Johnson, who wrote the recent book, "Tragedy in Crimson: How the Dalai Lama Conquered the World but Lost the Battle with China."…for the rest, click over to The NY Times.
It's a smart, and selfless move. Now the future Dalai Lama—the one chosen by Communist China—will have no political power over Tibetans used to having a prime minister.
Loved it? Leave a tip!
10 Responses to "Dalai Lama retires as political leader of Tibet-in-exile."
Well, he is getting up in years, isn't he? I suppose it was bound to happen at some point, and the big wheel of change is coming over again… May it be for good…
Yup, he's getting up there, as China happily notes.
It's "the most walk-the-talk move I've witnessed in my lifetime: a "god-king" transfers power willingly to democratic rule, thwarting the stated ambitions of Communist China to name the next Dalai Lama—and therefore lead Tibetans everywhere" (from my intro on FB, only slightly diff than above). ~ WL
Ha!, you are right on the "Walk – the – Talk" part! wish we could, and by we I mean "I" could follow on his steps in a more dedicated way !
Brilliant move on his part! Now whomever China chooses will be a figure head only!
I'm sad to hear it, but glad to know he'll be getting some (?) rest.
appropriate timing for the Tibetan new year
Maybe now he will preach acceptance rather than the desires of peace and love!
The Tibetans with their prayer wheels and flags always asking for something, it is no wonder they seem to have bad karma! -
[…] On March 14, Tibet's beloved spiritual-political leader announced that the time is ripe to him to … […]
Every time I've seen him talk, even from a distance, you can absolutely feel his presence. What a good, good human being.
Clarifying, concisely-put article revealing wisdom as no-push-over, yet egoless. Perhaps an example of what Trungpa Rinpoche would call "vajra politics"!

We provide an algorithm for determining whether two vectors in the Leech lattice are equivalent under its isometry group, the Conway group Co 0of order ~ 8 x 1018. Our methods rely on and develop the work of R. T.

Our algorithm reduces the test of equivalence to 4 tests under the subgroup 212:M24,

Crosstalk Home
Show Information
Air Date: March 20, 2014
Host: Jim Schneider
Guest: Phyllis Schlafly
Phyllis Schlafly is the President and Founder of Eagle Forum. She's been a leader of the conservative movement since 1972. She has testified before more than 50 Congressional and State Legislative Committees on constitutional, national defense and family issues. She is the author or editor of some 20 books with titles such as,"The Supremacists: The Tyranny of Judges and How to Stop It" and "No Higher Power: Obama's War on Religious Freedom".
Constitutional tipping point or Constitutional crisis? Is this language too strong to describe our current situation?
According to Phyllis, the Constitution says that all legislative power is in the Congress yet President Obama has been trying to legislate with his pen through regulation.
For example, The Dream Act languished in Congress. It never did pass yet in essence we're seeing aspects of it come to life through executive orders.
The Constitution also says that the prime duty of the President is to take care that the laws be faithfully executed. Instead, President Obama said he wasn't going to enforce the Defense of Marriage Act and he also told his Attorney General to oppose it in court.
On the issue of the health care law, Phyllis noted one source who claims that President Obama has changed the law 37 times.
In light of these and other examples, does Phyllis believe that President Obama has unilaterally overturned the constitutional framework of the three branches that are the basis of our unique and successful system of self-government? Listen to this Crosstalk to find out her answer and how she feels we need to act in order to solve this dilemma.

High blood cholesterol can lead to cholesterol buildup and blockage in your arteries, which can cause complications such as stroke and heart disease. What you eat may significantly affect the amount of cholesterol in your blood. Here are some tips for adopting a heart-healthy diet that's designed to keep your cholesterol at optimal levels.
Saturated fats often make up the largest source of cholesterol in a person's diet. Saturated fats increase low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or "bad," cholesterol that clogs the arteries. Common sources of saturated fats are fatty meats; full-fat dairy products such as milk, ice cream and cheese; and certain tropical oils such as palm and coconut.
Trans fats can have an even worse effect on your cholesterol levels. These fats form when hydrogen is added to vegetable oils in a process called hydrogenation that makes the oils less likely to spoil. Trans fats are commonly found in margarine, shortening, and commercially fried and baked foods.
Replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats can lower your total cholesterol. Find unsaturated fats in vegetable oils such as olive, safflower and soybean; nuts; olives; avocados; and fatty fish such as salmon and sardines.
Cholesterol in foods can raise both total and bad cholesterol. Sources of dietary cholesterol include eggs, meats and full-fat dairy products; eggs contribute the most cholesterol. Doctors recommend decreasing dietary cholesterol to reduce LDL levels. The American Heart Association recommends consuming less than 300 milligrams of cholesterol a day.

The sound of my high rise apartment when I leave the windows open.
Sort of ambient. If you credit SamHandwiches, you can use it.
I hope you like it :D This is the first piece of the soundtrack I wrote for a visual novel by the group "Script Forge", which is still in production.
Please bear with us...

You are the man, and you have made my week.
