Tuesday camp tidbits: The off day approaches
It's another gorgeous day in Jupiter, mild and sunny with a decent breeze but not too much wind. Tomorrow brings the Cardinals' first off day of the Grapefruit League schedule, and it's supposed to rain. Good news bad news, I guess.
Thursday Spring Training tidbits: Craig, contracts, Lugo, more
Greetings from Port St. Lucie, where the sun is shining brightly and the wind is blowing briskly. The Cardinals are taking batting practice as I write this, and there will be a baseball game in an hour and a half. Life is good.
Monday camp tidbits: Miller, Lugo, Ryan, Walters
Clouds threatened all day here in Jupiter, but I never saw a drop of rain. It was another mild day, with temperatures getting up into the 70s — perfect day for getting some work in.
NLDS Game 2 Tidbits: Lugo, Thome, Ludwick

It's an absolutely perfect day at Dodger Stadium. Seriously, 71 degrees, clear, spectacular. Great day for baseball.
Julio Lugo gets the start at second base today against left-hander
Clayton Kershaw, in place of Skip Schumaker. It was Schumaker against a
lefty yesterday, and in fact Randy Wolf has a bigger left-right split
than Kershaw. However, Kershaw is, in TLR's parlance, "one of those
wipeout kind of lefties," while Wolf isn't so much in style.
* Jim Thome talked a little about facing the Cardinals, since he hails from Peoria, Ill.
Louis has been a great baseball town. I've enjoyed being in there
whether it was Interleague with Cleveland, with Philadelphia. This will
be my first time to the new park. I'm looking forward to that, and I've
got a lot of friends around the St. Louis area that are excited as well.
it's going to be a neat experience. It always has. I've always said St.
Louis is probably fans-wise one of the better baseball cities in the
game. So it's fun to go there and feel that atmosphere towards
baseball. They did a wonderful job there."
Another Thome note:
For his regular-season CAREER, he has a .430/.565/1.010 line in 131
plate appearances against the Cardinals. That's a 1.575 OPS.
Ryan Ludwick talked a little bit more about the ball he hit down the
line last night, but both he and TLR said they have yet to see a
conclusive replay on it. I haven't either — anyone find some way to
get a really good look at it?
Today's playlist is all GNR in honor of Slash's playing of the anthem today:
"Rocket Queen"
"Used To Love Her"
"Dead Horse"
"Civil War"
Saturday tidbits: Garcia, Miller, Glaus, Wellemeyer, Ryan, Lugo
It's bordering on a more typical hot St. Louis summer day today, but still pretty bearable. One note: I'll be en route to California tomorrow, so I probably won't blog or tweet too much (barring news), but of course I'll be back in the saddle on Monday from Dodger Stadium.
As always, check out my updates on Twitter if you want more Cards stuff. Now on with the tidbits…
* Jaime Garcia continues to pitch well in his recovery from offseason elbow surgery. However, TLR said on Saturday that he does not expect to see Garcia in St. Louis in 2009.
"I think that's a push," he said. "If he gets to the end of the year healthy, that would be a major step forward. I think the most important thing is for him to end the year healthy. If he's healthy, he's a young guy, he's got a lot of future."
* I talked to John Mozeliak today regarding the negotiations with Shelby Miller, and among plenty of other things, he said this: "I would say there's optimism on both sides." I'll have a story up on this topic either later tonight or tomorrow.
As for my personal assessment, I stand by what I've thought all along: it's going to get done. It'll be above-slot, but that's been no secret since the minute they drafted him. But I'll be absolutely shocked if it doesn't get done.
* Troy Glaus re-began his rehab assignment at Memphis tonight, and he's playing third base. If you'd like to follow along, here's the link to GameDay at MiLB.com.
* Todd Wellemeyer planned to meet with Dr. Paletta tonight, and it's possible that he may be cleared to begin throwing tomorrow.
* Julio Lugo got the start at SS tonight in place of Brendan Ryan. Per TLR, both will play tomorrow against LHP Clayton Richard. I specifically asked about whether there was any thought toward going with Ryan tonight behind Pineiro, and Lugo last night.
The response from the skipper: "Didn't Wainwright get some groundballs yesterday? We've won games with Lugo playing."
Tonight's playlist:
Men at Work, "Overkill" (heard this on the radio today, what an amazing song)
Pearl Jam, "Release"
Crowded House, "Don't Dream It's Over"
Stone Roses, "Daybreak"
Regina Spektor, "On the Radio"
Ryan removed from game
Brendan Ryan was removed from Thursday night's game against the Dodgers due to an apparent left foot or ankle injury.
Batting in the bottom of the second inning against Hiroki Kuroda, Ryan fouled a ball off the lower part of his left leg. He hit the ground in pain quickly, and head athletic trainer Barry Weinberg came out to tend to the speedy infielder.
After consulting with Weinberg, Ryan remained in the game to finish his at-bat, and he grounded out to shortstop. However, he was clearly compromised as he attempted to run the ball out. When he returned to the dugout, he was removed from the game. Julio Lugo took his place at shortstop.
Lugo is the favorite to take any playing time at shortstop in Ryan's absence. The Cardinals also anticipate activating Khalil Greene from the disabled list shortly, and Tyler Greene has hit extremely well at Triple-A Memphis lately.
Ryan has emerged as a premier defensive shortstop this season, and he's held his own at the plate. However, he's had great trouble staying healthy throughout his professional career.

As the Whitey Bulger trial starts up in Boston, it's time to introduce FBI Special Agent Henry Hartman and Sydney Stansfield, the poor, beleaguered woman he ropes into his scheme to take down the fictional mobster, Blackie Walsh.
Henry is a federal agent who deals in the tough cases, those highly guarded, "can go either way" messes that probably won't be prosecuted. Instead, Henry's there to dig for openings that he can exploit, so he can develop stronger cases.
Sometimes it's not what you know, but who you know about that counts. You can't take down the bad guys without knowing all their connections. Miss one here or there and it can come back and bite you in the fanny at a most inopportune time. Just ask Henry after he has the stuffing beaten out of him by a bat-wielding bad guy.
For Syd, meeting Henry came on the heels of divorcing her rat of an ex-husband, the guy she put through dental school. Restarting her life doesn't come easy for her, and it takes her some time to find her niche. And just when things are going swimmingly for her, those land sharks start circling. Blackie Walsh, the ruthless Boston mobster, has no intention of being thrown into jail for the rest of his life. Instead, he's calling on his vast network of money launderers, strong arm men, and foot soldiers to work overtime to get him off the hook.

Extracting Value Out Of Your Work By Jeff Berman on July 15, 2011 Posted in Law Practice Management I came across this interesting video from Dan Ariely.

Productivity, To-Do Lists, & The Story Of A Mountain Climber By Jeff Berman on February 9, 2011 Posted in Law Practice Management I think most solos and small business owners feel the same pain.

Getting Work Done By Jeff Berman on November 25, 2010 Posted in Law Practice Management I got up early today and started to crank out some work.

Playing Defense Online By Gyi Tsakalakis on November 19, 2010 Posted in Law Firm Internet Marketing, Law Practice Management, Networking I'm a huge fan of defense.

Can Potential Clients Reach You? By Jeff Berman on November 4, 2010 Posted in Law Practice Management Marketing a law firm is difficult.

Why Lawyers Need To Understand The Art of Price Conditioning By Jeff Berman on July 27, 2010 Posted in Law Practice Management I would venture to guess that the majority of attorneys out there aren't trying to sell their services based on price.

The Design and Implementation of Multiprocessor Support for an Industrial Operating System Kernel

Title: | The Design and Implementation of Multiprocessor Support for an Industrial Operating System Kernel |

Abstract: | The ongoing transition from uniprocessor to multi-core computers requires support from the operating system kernel. Although many general-purpose multiprocessor operating systems exist, there is a large number of specialized operating systems which require porting in order to work on multiprocessors. In this paper we describe the multiprocessor port of a cluster operating system kernel from a producer of industrial systems. Our initial implementation uses a giant locking scheme that serializes kernel execution. We also employed a method in which CPU-local variables are placed in a special section mapped to per-CPU physical memory pages. The giant lock and CPU-local section allowed us to implement an initial working version with only minor changes to the original code, although the giant lock and kernel-bound applications limit the performance of our multiprocessor port. Finally, we also discuss experiences from the implementation. |

Romney Tries to Woo Small Business Owners with Eau de George W. Bush
Judging by Tuesday night's debate, the 2012 election is all about wining, dining, and seducing small business owners. At the town hall event, President Obama and Mitt Romney said the phrase "small business" a collective 21 times. But when it comes to promises to small business owners, Romney is like that prom date you rejected senior year. He's showing up to your house again in a better suit, but trying to woo you with the same, sweaty cologne: Eau de George W. Bush.
Romney has promised to permanently extend Bush's 2001 and 2003 tax cuts for the rich, and the 2012 nominee's rhetoric is strikingly similar to Bush's. At a 2008 Small Business Summit, Bush told small business leaders:
"The last thing small business owners need is higher taxes. I believe strongly that to make sure this economy recovers and stays strong, there needs to be certainty in the tax code. And the best way for Congress to make sure there's certainty is to make the tax relief we passed permanent."
In last night's debate, Romney echoed Bush's words: "Why do I want to bring rates down and at the same time lower exemptions and deductions, particularly for people at the high end? Because if you bring rates down, it makes it easier for small business to keep more of their capital."
Like Bush, Romney is claiming these massive tax cuts can be offset, but hasn't demonstrated how he will do it.
"That's the unspecified part of the plan," says Joseph Rosenberg, research associate at the Urban Institute. "It's hard to know how it will play out."
