Matt Kemp won't negotiate a contract extension after the 2012 season begins
Sep 30, 2011, 4:00 PM EDT
Bill Plaschke of the L.A. Times spoke with Dave Stewart, the agent for Matt Kemp. The upshot: Kemp is willing to talk to the Dodgers about a long term deal, but that he won't negotiate with the team once next season begins. absent an extension Kemp would become a free agent after the 2012 season.
This is becoming the thing to do for the big fish on the market, aided by the fact that the time in which a team has exclusive rights to negotiate with its free agents was dramatically reduced beginning last winter. Now it's (a) get your guy signed before the end of the year; or (b) compete with everyone. If the player decided not to negotiate during the season, he basically chops six months off the schedule.
Kemp, who has been content to go year-to-year through arbitration with the Dodgers is slated to make somewhere in the neighborhood of $15 million next year. The free agent deal? Man, if he has a 2012 like his 2011, it could be astronomical.

Great! Who is he going to negotiate with??? Frank??? Jaime????? Bud?????? What a mess!
- The Rabbit - Sep 30, 2011 at 10:06 PM
Agree completely! If I were Kemp, I would postpone negotiations until the last possible moment unless I had some clue about future ownership.
- lanflfan - Sep 30, 2011 at 5:06 PM
He'll negotiate with Nitwit Ned, but the contract will probably need MLB's blessing before it is signed. I have zero faith in things going smoothly.

The Mint responded to these woeful economic conditions by curtailing production of most coins, since there was little demand for them. Only "small change" was made (cents, nickels, and dimes)--and double eagles. Those piece were made primarily for export, however--many average Americans could not afford the price of a tank of gasoline. Few, if any, of the 1931-D double eagles left the Treasury vaults, and most were later melted into ingots.
Gold expert David Akers at one time rated the 1931-D as the fourth rarest in the Saint-Gaudens series, but in 1984 a small hoard of 15-20 pieces was uncovered. Today the '31-D is still a rare date: Both services together have certified a total of 134 pieces in Mint State, most of them in the range of MS60 to MS63. The present example offers lustrous, orange-gold surfaces with a satiny finish. The strike is bold and crisp, and the mintmark is deeply punched into the die. A couple of patches of light abrasions on each side of Liberty are noted, but those abrasions are consistent with the grade. This is an extremely appealing and collectible example of this rare date.(Registry values: N7079) (NGC ID# 26GP, PCGS# 9193)

Exploring the visual language of China or chinoiserie
AboutALSO AT: Saltram House (National Trust), Plymouth Arts Centre and Plymouth College of Art Gallery Curated by Eliza Gluckman Taking chinoiserie as a starting point this partnership exhibition explores our relationship with China both historically and through contemporary eyes. âChinoiserie', a French term meaning âChinese-esque', derived from the Seventeenth Century as an entirely European style that was influenced wholly from China and the East. Through form and decorative narrative in chinoiserie the exhibition looks at themes such as value and taste, fantasy, replication and stereotyping of images, identity politics, racism, trade and production values, authorship and the contested territory of the exotic. The exhibition looks to unpick these themes in a contemporary context and shed light on how pervasive Chinese culture, industry and aesthetics are in our everyday lives. Artists include 2003 Turner Prize winner, Grayson Perry, 2001 Turner Prize nominee, Isaac Julien, Gayle Chong Kwan, Stephanie Douet, Suki Chan, Christian Janowski, Tsang Kin-Wah and Ed Pien.

Great article Ned.
Made me smile thinking of my runs in the Blackwater, oh so many years ago. After seeing the pictures and articles on it, I had to go try it. Thinking I was going to be pretty fast, the top riders were done with their second loop as I finished the first. But it was a blast to do it. In one section you crossed the river and there was a pretty good sized hill that was complete mud. There were hundreds of fans on the bridge and on the bank. If you gave it an honest attempt, you got help. You took it easy, they'd let you slide all the way back down to the bottom. Of course, the pro's just brrrrrpeeeed and were over it. I'll never forget all those guys just coated in mud helping us out. I know I thanked you then, but if you are reading this now, thanks again for the help. I might still be figuring that section out without it. Unfortunately, the event is no longer, but it was a fair challenge in the day.
It is fun, win, lose or draw.
Hillary, it would be like Frasier being elected president; only uglier.

SLPs with custom long term retention
This doesn't seem to have been flagged up very much even though it is in the Late Breaking News section but I felt it important enough to pop it in the firums here as it could affect a lot of users and you potentially only have 9 days now to do anything about it!
The tech note is here : http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH200501
In effect if you are using a custom long term retention period in NetBackup (it does say only SLPs but I dont see exactly why it should only affect them) then it the date a backup is due to expire falls after 03:14 on 19th January 2038 (the end of time!! - or at least epoch time) then without error you backup expires immediately.
The tech note says that this relates to duplicates and the fear is that if you backup to disk using an SLP and then duplicate to tape using the "expire after duplication" option then the disk expires after duplication and so does the tape - so you end up with nothing!
What this means is that if you use a 25 year retention period in SLPs then this will affect you in 9 days time.
If you use a 30 year retention I assume it is already happening.
So for long term retentions use the "infinity" option instead
Should be fixed in 126.96.36.199 / 7.6 but for now I just wanted to bring it to everyones attention just on case you had missed the section in the late breaking news
Hope this helps and saves any lost backups
Comments 3 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Hi Mark (and all),
This is ONLY still an issue in SLPs - it was previously fixed for other duplications back in version 220.127.116.11:
If a retention level is set such that expiration dates of images is set after January 2038, after successful backups or duplications to tape using this custom retention period, the tape media (but not the image) is expired. Media may then be overwritten. This condition does not occur with "infinity" retention levels.
And as the TechNote says, the SLP issue will be fixed in 18.104.22.168 AND an EEB is available for 22.214.171.124.
By the way, as these were both issued as Tech Alerts, if you're subscribed to our Alerts channel for NetBackup, you can be sure to receive email notification of these and any future Alerts as they are released.

AMD's new graphics card lines
Subject: General Tech | September 10, 2007 - 12:10 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
DigiTimes has a story on two new graphics chips that AMD is working on, though AMD has no comment on them, as is usual. If the information is correct, the die will be shrunk to 55nm, and it will be DX10.1 and PCI Express 2.0 compliant. The odd thing about this news is that there is no talk of a new high end graphics card to compete with nVIDIA's 8800GTX and Ultras, and we are starting to hear rumours about nVIDIA's new series already.

Dear Lois, Apology not accepted …Tea Party Organizer Jenny Hatch Video Response
Posted by Jenny Hatch on May 10, 2013 · Leave a Comment
A couple of points:
First, I gave the opening speech at the first Colorado Tea Party back in Feb. of 2009, a few weeks after the first Obama inauguration.
The Colorado Independent was the only press to show up to our event, even though I personally sent press releases to all of the Colorado Mainstream Press: http://coloradoindependent.com/23026/ayn-rand-stars-at-denver-stimulus-tea-party-protest
Second, I was an active participant in all of the early planning meetings, email chats, and online networking that was happening the first year of Tea Party Activism in 2009.
Point being that I was not just a casual attendee or helper, I was one of the main organizers in Colorado.
Third, I was so disgusted by the disorganized mess that was the Tax Day Colorado Tea Party on April 15th, 2009, the various infighting, posturing for power, kowtowing to party politics, and general disorganization, that I made the decision to organize my own event for the 9-12-2009 Constitution Celebration that was being promoted by Glenn Beck.
Please note, I did not have any guidance, instruction, financing, or outside help while organizing this event, despite Nancy Pelosi calling us astroturf. Tea Partiers tend to hate both political parties at about the same level.
Fourth, I was angered but not surprised when my online registration form at the IRS web site was rejected with the words Tea Party in the form.
Fifth, the blowback on me and my family was a reminder that political dissent was no longer acceptable in Obamas world. I will not outline the different tactics that were used to disuade me from my activism, but if a financial audit had happened, I would not have been surprised based on the subtle but real intimidation that was already taking place.
Sixth, the IRS should be abolished as soon as possible before Obamacare ensures that all American Citizens walk in daily terror of the Federal Government. Steve Forbes flat tax is looking pretty good about now.
That is me holding the American Flag at the first Colorado Tea party

Shakira just dropped the fourth single off of her latest Spanish language album, Sale el Sol. This new song, called "Antes de las Seis" is a ballad written and produced in collaboration with Lester Mendez, who also worked with Shaki "Underneath Your Clothes" and "La Tortura"—which bodes very well for the singer.

After Tuesday's elections, it's likely that Republicans for the first time will occupy every one of Oklahoma's congressional seats and statewide offices. And the Republican Party won't have to wait much longer to break more new ground by becoming the largest voting bloc in the state. The State Election Board added 114,103 voters to the rolls between Jan. 15 and Oct. 12 — the latter the deadline to register for Tuesday's general election. Of those, 67,368 signed up as Republicans, 25,123 registered as independents and only 21,465 registered as Democrats. The Democratic Party now has about 69,000 more registered voters than does the GOP — but that's a far cry from the 455,000-voter edge it held in January 2000. Since then, Democrats have seen their rolls in Oklahoma shrink by about 224,000 while Republicans have added roughly 160,000. Clearly it's not a matter of if the GOP will assume the top spot, but when.
Womb with a view
Syndicated columnist Rich Lowry wrote this week of the Obama campaign's condescension toward women. He cited the views of early feminists that women are "just as capable of rational deliberation as men." He didn't mention how out of sync President Obama's views on reproduction are with those of some pioneers of women's rights. More than 100 years after her death, Susan B. Anthony remains the subject of scholarly debate about her views on abortion. Pro-life groups believe Anthony actively opposed the practice; pro-choice groups claims she had no strong feelings on the subject. Elizabeth Cady Stanton once wrote of the "murder of children, either before or after birth." Victoria Woodhall, the first female candidate for president (1872), said, "Every woman knows that if she were free, she would never bear an unwished-for child, nor think of murdering one before its birth." The point of this is that women — including some modern feminists — don't have a unified view supporting abortion at any stage of a pregnancy or government-mandated contraception. Obama's one-womb-fits-all philosophy is patronizing and an insult to many American women.
Gerrymander rankings
Oklahoma's largely drama-free redistricting process was no doubt due in part to not losing a congressional seat as occurred in 2000. New research suggests Oklahoma state lawmakers also reduced controversy by avoiding blatant gerrymandering. Azavea, a geospatial software firm, has released a report analyzing all congressional districts, highlighting particularly unusual boundaries based on four metrics. Maryland's congressional lines ranked worst — no surprise given a judge said one district's lines were "reminiscent of a broken-winged pterodactyl, lying prostrate" across Maryland. That map is being challenged in court. In other states, majority-minority districts, drawn to promote the election of minorities to Congress, were among the least compact. Using the Polsby-Popper ratio, generally the most widely cited metric, more than half of U.S. states had congressional districts less compact than Oklahoma's boundaries. Oklahoma legislators deserve thanks for avoiding the off-putting shenanigans occurring elsewhere.

Incentives to lure businesses Downtown
Forgivable loans, free facade grants to jump-start area retail interest
Starting Tuesday, businesses looking to move Downtown may be eligible for free money -- well, sort of.
During a meeting with business owners and developers Wednesday evening, the Center City Commission unveiled two new incentives -- a facade improvement grant and a forgivable loan program -- to encourage retail growth Downtown.
"In the past we've had a shotgun approach to retail," said Andy Kitsinger, CCC vice president of planning and development. "The focus is different here. What we want to try to do is narrow a geographic area so we can create a real sense of synergy."
Both the grant and the forgivable loan program will target new, ground-floor retail tenants in the South Main Historic Arts District, the Main Street Mall and in the Pinch District -- areas retail consultant Economics Research Associates recommended as the initial focus to improve business develop-ment Downtown.
In 2007, the Center City Development Corp., a CCC-affiliated board, hired Economics Research to develop a $97,000 retail development strategy for Downtown and a retail growth strategy for the Central Business Improvement District.
The commission has allocated $350,000 for the new incentives, which will be distributed on a first come, first served basis.
Funding for the new incentives, like the CCDC development loan program, will come from a 1.5 percent closing fee when a business is approved for a Center City Revenue Finance Corp. payment-in-lieu-of-tax freeze. None of the funds will come from the city or county.
The facade improvement grant is a matching grant for up to half of the cost of facade upgrades on anything from a fresh coat of paint to paying for design fees.
Depending on the circumstances, eligible businesses could receive as much as $30,000 in matching funds that would not have to be paid back.
The forgivable loan program, on the other hand, will cover as much as one-third of the business development project cost, with a maximum of $40,000 to the eligible business for leasehold improvements, equipment or operational expenses.
This CCDC loan can be forgiven at 20 percent per year no interest, as long as the business remains open at least five years.
Scholarships will also be available for up to 20 hours of one-on-one consulting with a retail consultant, which may be required to qualify for the program, for new or inexperienced business owners.
This is the first time CCC has offered incentives to business owners instead of property owners, CCC president Jeff Sanford said.
"The objective here is to add critical mass to retail Downtown," he said.
The CCC is looking to attract high-end, successful retail, such as men's and women's clothing stores, home-furnishing businesses, specialty retail, electronics stores and even sporting goods shops, said Lisa Brumleve, manager of business recruitment and retention for the CCC. Restaurants and those in the food and beverage industry will not be eligible.
"We want to bring new and additional retail to this area," she said. "We want a level that not only our tourists will want to visit, but also the citizens of Memphis ... will want to come Downtown for."

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Jeremy Lee, campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 24 October 2013 07:00AM
The pharmaceutical giant has approached agencies directly through its procurement department to invite them to submit an RFI.
Sources said GSK, which works with in excess of 100 agencies on its digital account, is looking to streamline the business. Both roster and non-roster shops have been invited to participate.
Grey Worldwide handles the bulk of GSK's UK advertising account.
The review follows the completion of a similar process for GSK's global media planning and buying account. In September, the company split the estimated £1 billion business between Group M and Omnicom Media Group.
PHD retained the US business and also picked up Canadian and West African markets. Group M agencies were awarded the rest of the world, with MediaCom retaining the £60 million UK account.
The media process ended GSK's relationship with Publicis Groupe's Starcom and Dentsu's Carat.
GSK recently offloaded its drinks brands Lucozade and Ribena to Suntory Beverages after a strategic review. The company has decided to focus on consumer health products, which span oral health, wellness, nutrition and skin health. Brands include Aquafresh, Sensodyne and Zovirax.

Wamena Tourist Traps
No money, no picture!
Although these tribal people look very traditional, actually they already know the value of money. As they understood that we perceive them as having truly unique culture (which we definitely love to take picture of them), they will ask you some amount of money for each picture that we have taken of them! Be careful, the are quite persistent in getting it. It could be very annoying for tourist.
On the contrary, they would use or save the money for pigs - symbol of wealth in their culture. The more pigs they have, they wealthier they become.
Unique Suggestions: If you really want to take pictures of them (of course you should!), then prepare some cash / small changes. But if you bring a video camera, you might want to get permission and negotiate on how much you want to pay.
Fun Alternatives: If you are travelling in a large group of people, the best way is to get permission for the whole group and have the tip covered together by all the tourist. It should be cheaper and easier.Related to:
- Arts and Culture
Wamena What to Pack
Snacks for energy
Dont hesitate and bring a lot of snacks with you to Wamena and trekking. All the things in Wamena are much much more expencive than other places cose everything needs to be brought into the city by air. And during the trek every energy source is a great refreshment for your body.more
Tent or bet bitten!
We took a camping gear along and it was the best idea. Many mosquitos, flies and other insects could bite. But not us. We even brought sleeping bags since at night it can get a little fresh (round 12 degrees).more
Suncream or burn!
While trekking Baliem Valley do not forget suncream. I did forget about it and spended five days trekking all covered with clothes since I got sunburn all over my face and arms.more
Wamena Off The Beaten Path
visit off the beaten path villages...
Given the fact that Wamena's guides have gain a very bad reputation -for a reason- it is worth exploring "on yout own" alternatives. This way you can avoid the bad taste of a "corrupted" guide, and hopefully end up were the masses don't go.
A very interesting route would be from Dombomi to Ladikma. You can take a pick up from Jibama market, Wamena heading to Dombomi or Elelem. From Dombomi it is a 3-6 hours hike ti Ladikma. It's a clear path (for the trained eye) or you can ask a boy to come along). Anybody bypassing you on the trail is likely to slow down and escort you out of interest though.
Wamena Favorites
Favorite thing: When you arrive at the airport, the guides are waiting for customers. Ask a few to come to the hotel and ask them about the trips and do some small talk, so you know about his English speaking (if needed), after that you can decide which one you want to hire. The hotel staff can also tell he is reliable or not.
