On January 17th, 2012, the students of Daegu Sangwon High School in South Korea are enjoying their winter breaks; they will return to class in early February for a week, then take another short vacation until March when their school year will officially begin. One student in particular, 17-year-old Seong-Min Kim, is enjoying it more than most. After all, he has just made over half a million dollars.
In a few weeks, Kim is set to enter his senior year—South Korean secondary schooling lasts three years, not four—as one of the top left-handed high school pitchers in his home country. He pitches not only for his school but for the South Korean 18U team, the equivalent of a national juniors squad, and his precocious mastery of the curveball has not only drawn attention from scouts in his homeland but from overseas in America—from Major League Baseball.
Kim knows what that means. Just about every kid in the world with a curveball and a dream knows what it means. Major League Baseball is the promised land; the font from which all good things (and a good deal of money) flow; the alchemical means by which a guy who can throw a ball 60 feet without hitting anything but a catcher's mitt can become something unto a walking god.
For a couple months, men from one of these teams—the Orioles, an American League team in Baltimore—have been telling Kim and his family that they think he could be one of those guys, and today they back up that talk with a promise: a minor-league contract to play baseball professionally in their organization with a $575,000 signing bonus.
Kim signs. Of course Kim signs. Elite professional players in South Korea—the very, very best of the Korean Baseball Organization—earn maybe $200,000 a year, tops. And here are the Orioles, offering him almost three times that much money and telling him to come over to America to see if he can earn a whole lot more. That's not even counting the cachet that comes with being in a MLB organization; as nice as being a top left-handed high-school pitcher is, the KBO, NPB, and Taiwanese professional leagues find an MLB roster credit more enticing. That $200,000 a year that the elite of the elite South Korean-born players make in the KBO? That's where the compensation scale for former MLB players begins. Everyone will overpay for a ringer.
And this is all part of the sell: a whole lot of talk about best possible outcomes. Perhaps it seems strange to Kim that the Orioles are the only team interested in him; that they're offering him over half a million dollars when they're the only bidder at the table. Even if it does, the Orioles are giving Kim 575,000 very good reasons why that shouldn't matter. After all, if the Orioles didn't think he was worth that much money, they wouldn't be offering it, would they?
So on January 17th, Seong-Min Kim becomes the richest kid in his class and celebrates, because he's taken a crucial first step to true greatness—and the Baltimore Orioles announce that they're buying fully into the East Asian international free agent market, as new Executive Vice President of Baseball Operations Dan Duquette had promised when he took the reins of the American League East's resident disaster in November.
The disaster doesn't take long to spread. On February 2nd, the Korean Baseball Association and Korean Baseball Organization file a formal complaint with Major League Baseball regarding the conduct of the Orioles in signing Kim.
On February 8th, Kim is banned from baseball in his home country of South Korea indefinitely at both the amateur and professional levels.
On February 16th, Major League Baseball voids the contract between Kim and the Baltimore Orioles.
It is the third week of April now, and in both South Korea and America, the baseball season is underway without Seong-min Kim. He has nowhere left to play.
It was a match made in Hell: a man no one would hire for a job no one would take.
Dan Duquette assumed control of the Baltimore Orioles at the end of a job hunt that more resembled a public scouring crossed with a death march. Like most executives in America, the general managers of professional baseball teams are often fired but rarely unemployed; Duquette, however, hadn't held a job in Major League Baseball since the Red Sox cut him loose in 2002, after John Henry bought the team.
The widely accepted reason for this was that Duquette lacked one very essential talent of a manager in any line of work: he couldn't manage. Not in baseball terms—his baseball instincts were good enough to acquire Pedro Martinez and Manny Ramirez, and he hired people who drafted passably well. Duquette was unable to manage in the most basic sense of the word: he could not handle people. He was known for being uncompromising and acerbic, and he had a fatal weakness for the brilliance of his own ideas.
Take, for instance, South Korea. The winter of 2011 into 2012 was not the first time that a Dan Duquette team tossed money around one of the smallest and least fruitful regions for player development in East Asia—baseball does not have a hold in South Korea like it does in Japan, and among professional sports, soccer takes much of their young talent. When Dan Duquette ran the Red Sox, they would routinely hand out bonuses of over a half-million dollars to South Korean players who wouldn't make it out of the minors. In the few instances that they did, Sox fans soon wished they hadn't.
The most effective of the South Korean signings was Sun-Woo Kim, a right handed starting pitcher the Sox signed at age 24 in the last year of Duquette's reign. He started two games in the majors that season, appeared in relief in another 18, and pitched to a 5.63 ERA in 41.2 innings. ERA is not a perfect stat, especially for relief pitchers in sample sizes as small as Woo's 2001—but then Woo went on to throw another 300 innings of major league ball over the next five years and ended up with a career ERA of 5.31. It seems safe to say he found his talent level.
That was Duquette's most successful South Korean signing with the Red Sox. There are a great many competitors for the honor of being his least successful, but for the guys that never made it out of the minors he usually only paid $750,000 or so. Sang-Hoon Lee, however, is probably the best and brightest choice. Red Sox fans who recall years before 2004 might remember Lee as an orange-haired maniac of a reliever that Duquette handed $3 million over two years back in 2000, with over a million of that packaged as a signing bonus. Lee was 29 years old at the time.
Lee pitched 71 quality relief innings in Triple-A Pawtucket, got called up, got smacked around by the Baltimore Orioles one night in late June, went right back down and didn't show up again until rosters expanded at the end of August. By the end of the year he'd recorded only 11.2 innings of major league mound time, though he at least kept his ERA at 3.09. You shouldn't trust that ERA, though. Not only did Lee's season represent about as much work as the average reliever logged last month in Spring Training, but he walked four and struck out six, and probably should have been blown up to the tune of twice that tidy three-spot.
After Spring Training the next season, Lee was optioned to Pawtucket again, threw 50-odd innings of substantially less impressive relief pitching, then disappeared back to South Korea. Lee retired late last decade; the most recent American news item about him of any substance comes from Gordon Edes of the Boston Globe back in 2004, when he appended the following note about Lee to the bottom of a piece profiling Mo Vaughn on the eve of his retirement:
Remember Sang Hoon Lee, the Korean reliever who was a bust with the Red Sox after being given more than $3 million by Dan Duquette? According to the Korean Times, Lee signed a $500,000 contract with his new team, the SK Wyverns, the same salary he had with his former team, the LG Twins, last season. That made him the highest-paid player in Korea. He was traded by the Twins, the paper said, "due to a conflict with the manager over his increasing focus on playing guitar."
If, however, 11.2 innings of mediocre relief just doesn't do it for you when talking about "worst signings," Duquette's Red Sox gave Korean right-hander Jin Ho Cho $800,000 in 1998 and received 58 major league innings of 6.52 ERA pitching in return. Why did Cho get 58 innings to pitch the Red Sox out of games while Lee's relatively successful 11.2 get rewarded with a demotion? Different seasons, different circumstances; maybe Lee picked up the guitar too often in the Sox clubhouse as well.
But let's say instead of bad major league stats, you want guys getting paid a whole lot of money to not even make the show—Duquette Red Sox's have a wide selection of those, as well: Seung Song (1999, $800,000), Chul Oh (1999, $700,000), Byeong-Hak An (2001, $750,000). There's a couple more who accomplished so little that the spellings of their names can't even be verified against an online minor league baseball entry. One "Tai-In Che," a right-handed pitcher that Baseball America's Ben Badler mentions in his fantastic breakdown of everything Duquette and Korea, does not seem to have his brief presence in American professional baseball recorded anywhere on the internet. Which is perfectly understandable considering that, after Duquette gave him $750,000, he was unable to make it out of Rookie Ball.
It's not that South Korean players from that period couldn't succeed in the majors, either. The Red Sox were not the only team active in South Korea (or in Japan, in whose professional league many of the elite South Korean-born players compete) around the turn of the century; while all Duquette had to show for his efforts was a cadre of pitchers not even fit to mop-up in the majors, Byung-Hyun Kim (Diamondbacks, 1999), Hee-Seop Choi (Cubs, 2002), and Cha Seung Baek (Mariners, 2004) were all useful MLB players for a time, and Chan Ho Park (Dodgers, 1994) pitched in the majors for more than a decade. That's not to say these were the only South Korean players those teams signed, but to sign as many as Duquette did and not even get a serviceable utility infielder or middle reliever out of the bargain is quite frankly amazing.
Duquette's tenure with the Red Sox is more or less ancient history. Since his last move as Boston's boss a pair of new Collective Bargaining Agreements, the rise of the regional cable sports networks, team-owned channels, and the resulting advertising and media right mega-deals have changed baseball's economic landscape. As far removed as Duquette's experience at the end of Boston's bad old days is from the modern baseball landscape, it's important to remember this: the ongoing catastrophe described above formed the backbone of Duquette's interview pitch to owner Peter Angelos and manager Buck Showalter. (Yes, according to multiple reports Duquette interviewed with the field manager present.)
Perhaps it speaks to Duquette's persuasive abilities that his history of failure in South Korea could be spun into a vast wealth of experience and evidence of deep industry knowledge in the international free agent market. Duquette gets a lot of credit for beginning to scout the Dominican and other parts of Latin America for the first time in Red Sox history, but here too the attention of his scouting department led to a surprising lack of results. Hall of Fame lock Pedro Martinez was acquired in trade from the Montreal Expos, and his fellow countryman Jose Offerman was signed as a free agent. Nomar Garciaparra is of Mexican descent, and Duquette's front office did draft him—but Garciaparra was born in California, attended Georgia Tech for four years and signed out of college. The most successful Latin American free agent signing in Dan Duquette's time running the Red Sox was probably Wilton Veras, a third baseman from the Domincan Republic. If you don't know who that is, well, that's the point. But that's the experience Dan Duquette leaned on in the race for Baltimore's top front office job and that's where he sits today, for even a man with a broken crutch wins when he's racing alone.
That's the experience the Orioles will lean on when they scout Seong-Min Kim, when they sign Seong-Min Kim, and when they end Seong-Min Kim's career.

Lee practices again, status uncertain
Receiver Marqise Lee (sprained knee) made it through a full practice for the first time in the last two weeks, with heavy tape on his knee, but Orgeron stopped short of saying Lee would play Saturday.
``I don't know,'' Orgeron said. ``He looked good yesterday. Knowing him, he's going to try to play, but I don't know if he's going to be ready.''
Orgeron sounded more confident about linebacker Morgan Breslin (hip strain), who has practiced less than Lee. Breslin went through the full practice Wednesday and rotated with J.R. Tavai in drills.
``I think he's going to play,'' Orgeron said. ``I think he's going to be fine. He got some reps, said he felt well.''
Tailback Tre Madden (hamstring) didn't practice, but Orgeron said he thought Madden would ``have a role to play'' against Notre Dame. Orgeron didn't say who would start at tailback, if not Madden. Receiver Victor Blackwell (ankle) did not practice but tight end Xavier Grimble (shoulder) returned.

I experienced real problems trying to insure an imported car " a Mitsubishi Pajero - from Southern Ireland.

I was recommended to a company called A J Insurance Service who specialise in imported cars, and chassis number cover-notes etc.

0 Comments | Copyright: IANS
New Delhi, June 12 (IANS) Bollywood blockbuster 'Lage Raho Munna Bhai', based on Mahatma Gandhi's ideology, hit the jackpot by winning four national awards, surprising its producer and director no end.
The film starring Sanjay Dutt, Arshad Warsi, Vidya Balan and Boman Irani has won the best screenplay, lyricist, supporting actor and popular film providing wholesome entertainment awards.
Vidhu Vinod Chopra, the producer of the movie, said: 'It is a wonderful surprise. What makes me happy is that it is a great inspiration for newcomers and fresh people who have a fire in their belly to make a mark in the industry.'
Abhijat Joshi wrote the screenplay and Swanand Kirkire penned the lyrics for popular number 'Bande mein tha dum'.
'Abhijat and Swanand's work getting acknowledged makes director Rajkumar Hirani and me very proud," added Chopra.
Released in 2006, the film was a sequel to the hugely popular 'Munnabhai M.B.B.S.' that hit theatres in 2003.
'I am happy that a film based on the ideals of Mahatma Gandhi has won the award for wholesome entertainment. It is a big achievement for me and my team,' said Hirani.
Swanand says that even though he has won the award, the film was a collaborative and collective piece of work.
'I am grateful to Vinod Chopra, Rajkumar Hirani and Shantanu Moitra (music director) for bringing out the best in me and for creating the atmosphere where one can strive for excellence,' he said.

College students having trouble finding summer jobs
Internships and summer work can provide a way for students to land jobs after they graduate from college. But, continuing a trend, many students this year have found internships and other summer employment hard to find, especially in their fields.
"Summer employment is limited, particularly with jobs available that are congruent with their majors," said Jerry Westbrook, director of Career Services at Southeast Missouri State University. "This year is slightly better. The last two years were the most depressed job market for college students I have seen."
While not many summer jobs are available, signs of change do exist, said Dr. Bruce Domazlicky, director of the Center for Economic and Business Research at the university.
"The job market is down," he said. "The economy is picking up, and that should help some."
Southeast students who are waiting for the job market to pick up are spending their summer in a variety of ways.
Eric Barnes is taking classes to fill some of his free time.
"I'm not trying to do too much this summer," he said. "But I am doing some odd jobs for people I know in order to earn some cash."
Angie Morris is still hoping to get some work.
"I'm still looking for something, but in case I don't find something, I am taking a class at the university," Morris said.
Not all job-hunting students are taking the studious approach.
"For now, it's fun because I can do what I want," Scott Cooper said.
Even with a slow market for summer employment, some students have found work through word of mouth.
"A friend who works at the university bookstore told me of an opening, so I took it," Jill Hodge said, adding that she did not look into getting an internship for the summer.
Searches and networks
In addition to using job postings offered by Career Services, Westfield Shoppingtown West Park senior marketing director Joyce Hunter said, students should look at the mall's Employment Opportunity Handbook.
"All the stores are able to bring job openings to us," Hunter said. "And people can come to our office and have everything in one location."
Searching job postings is a good start for students looking for employment, said Steve Sattler, development supervisor for the Cape Girardeau office of the Missouri Career Center, the state employment service.
"I would advise them to network as much as they can," Sattler said. "Don't limit themselves by looking at newspaper ads. Search the state job bank and contact people in human resources at companies."
Though many businesses are not hiring, Sattler said, manufacturing and health care are two industries that are.
Domazlicky said students looking for jobs should look at industries that need seasonal help.
"Construction usually needs help in the summers, and the restaurants in town are always looking for help. But sales positions are down, especially for those individuals without experience," Domazlicky said.
A representative for Famous Barr said the store is not hiring any summer help because college students who work part time at the store during the school year want to increase their hours over the summer.
Sara Davie is working this summer in textbook rental at the university, a job she has had for two years.
"It was the first job I found when I started college," Davie said. "But I have thought about trying to get a job more closely related to education, because I hope to be a teacher."
Intern insight
Westbrook recommends that students look for internships after their sophomore year as a way to get another internship or job the next summer. These internships are learning opportunities for both companies and students, he said.
"It give employers a chance to look at the work experience of students and as a result better pick those that mesh with their company," Westbrook said. He noted that employers look at how students handle the work environment and the type of critical thinking and problem-solving skills the students possess.
Students also can gain insight from their internships, but the main benefit of an internship is the increased likelihood of obtaining a job.
"The experience will help make them more marketable when graduating, and now at least 70 percent of businesses require internships when hiring," Westbrook said.

I still have prenatal vitamins from a year ago and they have expired, is it ok to take them?
Is it ok to take expired prenatal pills?

Does the packaging have expiration date marked on them? If not - throw them away by either giving them to your Pharmacy to dispose of, if you are on septic tank, it is okay to flush it down the toilet but do not flush medications down the regular toilet as in some States (like in many parts in FL) it is illegal to do this; and many cases you can drop unused and unwanted medications to your local Fire, Police, or Sheriff's Department - call them first to find out the hours. Some of them have specific "events" where you can even obtain "freebies" (such as free gift cards to ??? ) - just cleaning out your medicine cabinet; including Narcotics to old Prenatal pills.
But whatever you do - DO NOT TAKE THOSE PILLS!

Deca Steroids Reviews Newport 100mg
Deca is the most general and famous mount of injectable anabolic pills. amongst non-injecting along methandrostenolone is more pop. Like other hormones you can get Deca-Durabolin in the country only on the black market. Perhaps you can look for it in the pharmacy, but you will require a recipe. Athletes prefer Deca-Durabolin through the thing that it may be used for various purposes, depending on the kind of sport and it every time will delight the perfect results.
Deca in its chemical consist varies from testo so that it is lack of a carbonatom in the 19th position, and due to that Deca refers to the progestin, and therefore it is least androgenic than steroid hormone. Testosterone is transformed in the body into a potent androgen dihydrotestosterone by reason of which there isgenerality of by-effects, and Deca-Durabolin is turned into a weakly androgen dihydronandrolone which doesn't cause no by-effects. But on account of the small quantity of androgen in the sap an bodybuilder may sense diminishing sexual appetite. also, because of influence to progesterone receptors sexual desire weakens even more.
Dbol No Acne 4 Weeks
anabolic hormone result of Decais in 1.5 times bigger than of testosterone.
Androgeniceffect of Decais in 3.5 times belowe than of testosterone.
As we can see Deca holds only a powerful anabolic hormone result, but not a strong androgen one. Deca increases super muscle mass, hardens bones and joints, and decreases joint ache. Muscle mass then the course is well-kept. Certainly in the course of Sustanon, at the same dosages and length of the direction, you take more muscle mass, but also shed much more at the end of the direction. Growth in muscle mass is because of a plus azote balance sheet, blocking cortisol receptor, and because of the increase of great performance. It is deserving to understand that over the course you should to exercise more and more intensive, but do not forget about the reduction and dietary for muscle mass. Estrogenic by-effects such as water conservation and gynecomastia are much rarer than with Sustanon and ordinarily only when recommended dose inflate.
Trenbolone Cattle
Deca-Durabolin may be used solo on the direction, but personally I do not know somebody who does it, as there is a chance of sexual appetite depreciation (for someone it will be a advantage, he will devote more time for studies) and also do not lose sight of that Deca-Durabolin engages in the action for a long time. To get away these lacks, Deca-Durabolin may be matched with Sustanon, Dianabol, stanozolol. To prepare for a meeting in bodybuilding, Deca-Durabolin is not the most suitable sex hormone because dosages in bodybuilding are big, it is probable to result a little more water. Of course, there are a lot of medicines that can prevent it, but there is no necessity to weight yourself with additional tablets, if you can only change Deca-Durabolin at another steroid.
Deca is perfectly right for sport women. A combination of Deca with Oxandrolone will work good. Deca as well as Oxandrolone are almost non-androgens and thus the process of transformation in a man is not possible. In such conjunction Deca-Durabolin helps to add muscle weight due to albumen synthesis, and Anavar supports enlarge power by increasing the production of creatine phosphate. Oxandrolone may also be replaced on stanozolol, and Primobolan.
The suggested dose of Deca-Durabolin is 200 mg. per week for newcomers in the use of steroids, 400 - 600 mg every week for more experienced sportsmen. Scientific researches have shown the need for about 4 mg. of Deca per 1 kg. every week. It would be wiser to adhere to such recommendation, since at low doses results will reduce. Useful result of Deca in the dose of 200-600 mg. every week adds in direct rate to the dosage. But if you enhance the dosage more than 600 mg., anabolic result will not enlarge so much, but the chance of side effectswill enlarge obviously. To enlarge the efficiency of the course, as well as to miss the by-effects of progestin, Deca-Durabolin must be combined with methandrostenolone, or testosterone or winstrol. Excellent combination is 200-400 mg. of Deca every week and 30-40 mg. of methandrostenolone per day. A mix of 200-400 mg. of Deca-Durabolin and 250-500 mg. of Sustanon every week would be more useful, but it can be enhance by adding of 30-40 mg. of methandrostenolone in a day.

Facebook Home Android beta leaks ahead of official release, ready to download
Update: Facebook has killed the servers for the leak, ending in a black News Feed.
A beta test version of Facebook Home, the recently announced Android launcher that marks Facebook's first steps into smartphone software ownership, has leaked online ahead of the official launch on 12 April.
It has been pulled from the ROM of HTC First - the first "Facebook Phone" - by mobile phone site MoDaCo, which offers it for download.
There are some restrictions, however. Not must owners install it at their own risk - it doesn't even have some features, including Chat Heads, enabled - but it will only work on handsets with a maximum resolution of 1280 x 768. That said, MoDaCo says it will work on any Android device that meets that specification. The final Facebook Home will only work with specific devices on launch, namely HTC One, HTC One X, HTC One X+, Samsung Galaxy S III, Samsung Galaxy S4 and Samsung Galaxy Note II.
It will even work on a Nexus 7, even though official tablet support is not slated until much later in the year.
The leak comes in the shape of three APKs linked to by MoDaCo. They all need to be installed for it to work. Again, do so at your own risk. Either that, or wait until the official release hits Google Play on Friday.

Southeast Missourian Player of the Week: Taylor Smith
Wednesday, January 13, 2010
Entering the championship game of the New Years Tournament it hosts, Taylor Smith and the Delta girls basketball team had a few things working against them.
First, despite a game-high 21 points from Smith, the Bobcats lost their only other championship-game appearance this year against Scott City at the Lady Devils Invitational hosted by Chaffee.
Second, Delta was facing St. Vincent in the title game, an opponent the Bobcats lost to earlier this season.
The Bobcats, led by Smith's Southeast Missourian Player of the Week performance, were able to reverse both of those results to claim the championship with a 56-42 win over the Indians.
As the senior done throughout the tournament, Smith led Delta offensively, scoring 19 points, 15 of which came via five makes from behind the 3-point line.
In her team's narrow semifinal win over Meadow Heights, Smith led the Bobcats with 14 points just as she did with an identical 14-point performance in an opening-round victory over Woodland.

Vivek Kundra, the former federal CIO, wrote that he transformed the government's "image of red tape, long lines, and cold, distant bureaucracies" through real-time analytics and American ingenuity.
Stepping into the job, Kundra immediately saw a major technology gap in the government compared with the private sector. Children could find more statistics about their favorite baseball players easier than the billions of dollars the government spends each year, he wrote in a paper published for the Harvard University's Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics, and Public Policy.
"Closing this gap is the key to making government work better for the American people — the ultimate goal," he wrote in the article Aug. 15, titled, "Reflections on Public Service."
Kundra left his position as the first federal CIO in August to become a fellow at the center.
He dealt with major IT projects that had exceeded the initial cost estimates and had fallen behind the schedule. What's more, the projects that actually were completed were already obsolete in the fast-changing IT world, he wrote.
Kundra took what he had learned as Virginia's assistant secretary of commerce and technology and built a real-time database for the federal government. He began meeting with IT officials across government in TechStat sessions. He also pushed agencies to cloud computing to fix the problems with redundant and old infrastructure. His aim was a nimble and efficient organization.
As more of the federal government's information went online, Kundra said he developed an overarching legislative proposal regarding cybersecurity. The proposal would focus on protecting personal data, threats to power grids, and also securing federal network systems.
Kundra wrote that he came to the CIO position in a world where IT is everywhere and citizens are expecting the government to keep pace with industry in being easy to use and up to date.
Kundra said he changed the status quo, but he also warned that the IT advances can still regress.
"Left alone, things tend to move from order to disorder — and the hard work this administration has done to reform federal IT could fall back unless we keep our shoulder to the wheel," he wrote.

Kundra came to the Federal CIO position from the DC Gov CIO position. What did he do to improve how DC IT functions? Nothing. What did he do to improve how the Federal Government IT functions? Nothing. He took credit for the 25 Point Implementation Plan to Reform Federal Information Technology Management. How many points were completely implemented? None. The tough job of fixing the Federal IT issues is left to the new CIO. Let us hope he is more concerned with fixing the problems rather than staying a short time to promote his self image.
I see a patern here. The CIO of NYS came from a private sector consulting firm and states on his LinkedIN page "Since joining New York State Government in 2008,... Reined in a fragmented large IT system under a disciplined IT governance program". Is this like scholatic history books where the victors/leaders/conquerors get to write the facts from their perspective?Do the IT workers agree? Does anyone care? Is this like saying a project is done just because the projected hours/costs are all used up?
