League Notes
Published June 26, 2014
MR. DESTINY: In DC, Deron Snyder writes the fact that LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony have become free agents makes the NBA offseason "a lot more interesting, filled with drama, suspense and intrigue that otherwise wouldn't exist." The Bulls, Rockets, Clippers, Lakers and Cavaliers all can "fantasize about landing James and Anthony, giving everyone else plenty to talk about" (WASHINGTON TIMES, 6/26). In Akron, George Thomas writes under the header "'Decision II' Begins Its Sports Domination" (AKRON BEACON JOURNAL, 6/26).
GIRL POWER: In Boston, Michael Whitmer writes LPGA Commissioner Mike Whan "must be thrilled with what he has seen in 2014, because his tour is having the best year -- viewed from a US golf fan's perspective -- of all the professional circuits." Whitmer: "Imagine Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Rory McIlroy, Bubba Watson, Adam Scott, and Sergio Garcia taking turns winning every week, at the expense of each other?" That is what the LPGA "has delivered -- at least its version -- almost every week" (BOSTON GLOBE, 6/26).

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The Red Sox most likely wouldn't have won Sunday without Yoenis Cespedes.
If the outfielder doesn't hit that three-run home run in the eighth inning of what turned out to be a 3-1 victory for the Sox over the Angels, scoring was going to be a challenge for the visitors. It was a small sample size of why Cespedes is now a member of this team.
But how much weight should we expect Cespedes to carry on a team that actually is in the midst of trying to win a championship? Will Yoenis be the offensive behemoth that will temper discussions involving Giancarlo Stanton? What should we make of this 28-year-old?
And with all the clamoring for free-agent-to-be Nelson Cruz, will this guy actually turn out to be a better option than the guy David Ortiz tried to single-handedly bring to town?
The guess here is this: Cespedes will undoubtedly help, but this Red Sox team will need more of what he represents. Yoenis was the savior for Sunday, but not for this, or any other, season.
Let's start with what we've learned of the outfielder since he showed up at Fenway Park the first day of August:
1. He is affable, yet somewhat introverted. Many of his comments are followed by a wry smile, the kind of which makes you believe there will be more jocularity as the weeks pass by.
2. There is no lack of self-confidence. Saturday, he told WEEI.com that his best 60-yard dash time was a world-class 6.1 seconds, suggesting that he is still fast as he has ever been. Wearing his full-muscle-capacity physique, he saunters in and around the batting cage with hat on backwards and no urgency to make small talk. Also, there seems to be an acceptance of the mentor-protege relationship with the guy a few lockers away, David Ortiz.
"First of all, I don't think that cologne is bad," Cespedes joked after Ortiz interrupted his post-game interview with a dousing of the smelly stuff. "Second of all, he's given me a lot of guidance on and off the field that's going to help me in my career.
3. As Ortiz summed up, "He is good." In the outfield, Cespedes has gotten outstanding jumps on balls, while clearly enjoying throwing baseballs toward home plate. Offensively, there is some thought that goes behind the vicious swings. Listen to his explanation when asked about hitting the home run off of Angels reliever Joe Smith:
"I've been facing him for a long time, since he was back in Cleveland," Cespedes said of Smith. "Ever since then, he's been starting me off with a sinker and then follows it up with a slider. When I saw the first sinker, I knew he was coming in with a slider, or I thought he was, so I was able to capitalize on it."
4. There could legitimately be the opportunity for more, particularly with the dynamic of a contract year on the horizon. Within the conversation about his much-talked-about speed, Cespedes explained the reason he has drawn back on stealing bases was because of hamstring issues. He would, however, like to start revisiting that part of his game, which would certainly be welcome for what had become John Farrell's nightmarish station-to-station '14 dynamic.
5. We have yet to see how his swing will play in Fenway Park. Yes, Cespedes is a pull hitter, as his spray chart while playing in Oakland would suggest. But it was interesting to note that his three-run homer would have most likely been a single at Fenway due to the lack of elevation. More hits, probably? More homers? We will see.
What we do know for sure is that Red Sox will need players like Cespedes if they want to contend in '15. In a vacuum, putting contract particulars aside, a case could be made that with the combination of defense, speed and power potential, the Cuban could be of at least equal effectiveness as that of a Cruz for next season.
The two are probably going to hit for around the same batting average, with Cruz' on-base percentage landing about 25 points higher. Cespedes could evolve near the power threat the Oriole slugger is, but he has a ways to go to stake that claim.
But, for the '15 timeframe we're talking -- weighing in all of the aforementioned luxury items -- the fact that Cespedes is almost five years younger without needing an uncomfortable contractual commitment, makes the current Red Sox more palatable than what would have been an uncomfortable chase for power in the free agent market. (Other than Cruz, the picking is slim for free agent power hitters this offseason.)
All of that said, the Red Sox will need more. And they know that.
Cespedes is along the lines of Mike Napoli in regards to his presence in a big league lineup. Different skill-sets, similar importance. The idea is to have a lineup that suggests there is some kind of threat from stem to stern. That was the case in '13. That is far from the case as we sit here in '14.
(And, by the way, it would have been the same if Cruz resided with the Red Sox.)
They need the '12-13 Allen Craig. They need the Shane Victorino of a year ago. They desperately need to find some kind of consistency at third base. And then there is that Jackie Bradley conundrum that continued to dominate conversation heading into the new week (thanks to four more strikeouts and an 0-for-35 rut).
Not having Cespedes has been somewhat of a hit for the A's, who have the third-worst slugging percentage this month without the outfielder, having been seventh baseball prior to the trade. (At the same time, the team he currently is playing for -- the Red Sox -- have totaled the worst in all of baseball over that span.)
We're not making judgments, but simply projecting. Oakland has gone 6-4 since the deadline, but it is still thought to be one of the two favorites in the American League. Cespedes hit a home run Sunday, yet that doesn't mean this lineup's power problems are solved.
The Red Sox' No. 6 hitters have the second-worst OPS in baseball this season. The No. 7 spot is the fourth-worst, with No. 8 sitting at the bottom of the American League. It should paint the picture that the construction doesn't end with Yoenis.
"He's still getting his feet on the ground with us," Farrell said after his team's Cespedes-led win, "but any time you can add a middle-of-the-order presence, as we've been able to do, an area that we needed to address, the ability to drive the baseball a little bit more consistently, he's going to fit in just fine with us."
That about sums it up.
A step in the right direction, but hardly a leap into instant contention. In other words, feel free to keep that Giancarlo conversation cooking.

"GOD is so good to me!!!!!!!!"
Description from Kitty Chicky Cat: My sweet orange tabby had kidney failure. I think even the vet had no hope! We all prayed for him like crazy and after almost a week the numbers have come down!! The vet said the toxin levels, though not perfect, are down to 1/3 or ¼ of where they had been!!! I get to take him home this Saturday! "Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father." Matthew 10:29. GOD knew my cat was sick and He heard (and hears) my prayers and worked miracles in my cat's body!!! GOD is truly good to me!!!!! In SO many ways!

I Hope your kitty continues to improve. Our pets are such a special blessing.
OOOOOOHH! Chicky Cat!!
So happy to hear the good news about your kitty! God is good!
Thanks Happy and Sweet Chicks! He's "my baby"! I was praying so hard!!
I am really glad your Kitty is doing better! My favorite prayer(s) -I have 2
Lord help me to remember that what I want today will not be as wonderful as what you have planned for me is one,
and the other is the prayer of Jabez … too long to quote… Basically, ask God for help to receive all the gifts he wishes to give you today!
GREAT!!!! God works in mysterious ways!!
Bubbly, Cool!
I agree Funny!
Thanks so much Chicks!!
Very true, God is Good! When my 1st dog was really sick and old (about 2 years ago) I prayed that he'd last til around Christmas and then he did…but I was still really sad (and still am) to have him go.
So glad to hear your good news, Kitty!
Thank you Smoky Rose and Little!!
I'm so sorry Little Chick!!
Yeah, I really miss him…he was a pomeranian/spitz and was so adorable…sniff
Yellow cats are sooo special. This picture is of mine @ 6 months. They seem to have an innocence. They know the world loves them and expects even 13 year old alpha tom cats to love them back. i like watching him investigate his world like it was brand new.
prayers for the continued health for you yellow kitty.
Bonnie, they do that, don't they?!
Cats are awesome! Would not be without em!
Hope your kitty continues to improve Kitty Chickie Cat. We shall all keep her in our prayers. I have a Tortoise Shell cat that is part Siamese. She is a little high strung but I have had her for 16 years now and I don't know what I'd do without her, she's my baby. Last summer the vet advised me that she is blind (has cataracts) but is otherwise healthy. I have to go outdoors with her when she wants out but sometimes I just let her go on her own if I'm busy. Most of the time she stays near the door but the other day I lost her and nearly had a heart attack. It took me about 20 minutes to finally find her. No more going out alone. As Anita said, God does work in mysterious ways. BTW, love this pick. Into my favs. Sorry about being so long winded.
Thanks for the support Chickies! Cats are great aren't they! One of my new favorite sayings is "Life is good, pets make it better!" ! Thanks for sharing about your baby 3K CHICK (And NO, your post wasn't too long!)! I'm SO glad you found her!! I know what you mean! No more excursions for my kitty! Not even on the deck unsupervised! The vet said Easter lilies can cause kidney failure in cats as well as antifreeze. I don't think I have either in the yard but I don't know how long he was outside before I caught him and he could have found some wild relative of the lily, he's a plant muncher!
Life is good, pets make it better – I like that! and how true, how true!
I'm glad your kitty is doing much better! We just love our cats!! They are our kids!!

"It's actually interesting to me to talk to folks about current TV trends and current movie trends," she said. "I think people tend to despair and think, 'Well once the genie's out of the bottle, it can never go back.'"
But she pointed out how the Hays Code came about in the first place due to public outcry over pre-code films' surprising amounts of sex and nudity.
"I tend not to despair too much when I see the direction we're heading because I think it is possible for things to go back in the other direction."

Allbritton Communications-owned ABC affiliates KATV in Little Rock, AR, and KTUL-TV in Tulsa, OK, both have chosen the Video Technics Media Archive Library solution to expand their existing NewsFlow ingest, edit and playout systems.
Last year, each station went on the air with twin end-to-end NewsFlow solutions for news via ENPS and master control via Sundance Digital. The systems incorporated four Video Technics Apella LCS Media Servers, VT Proxy Browser embedded in AP ENPS, a VT Database Cluster with instant failover capability, 6TB of RAID-protected NAS and a dedicated VT Media Exchange Server (VTMX) for network file transfers of satellite feeds and Pathfire content.
To provide integrated content creation, the solution incorporated several seats of the VT News Edit plug-in for Final Cut Pro, eight VT Studio Pro NLEs and four NewsFlow field editor notebooks with the VT News Edit plug-in for Adobe Premiere Pro.
This month, Video Technics commissioned an end-to-end VT Media Archive Library at KTUL featuring Qualstar's BQ20/44, which combines a server with an RLS-series robotic tape library.
The 7RU scalable archive solution stores content on a combination of 2TB of hard disk space and barcoded LTO4 tape cartridges. Cartridges can be removed and placed on the shelf, but still be managed by VT's built-in asset management software.
KTUL produces more than four hours of live news per day and needed a way to archive the clips associated with stories, said Roger Herring, station director of operations. The station generates about 100GB of news content per week that is archived indefinitely. Prior to the addition of the VT Media Archive Library, KTUL archived content in nearline storage straining the station's budget each time additional storage had to be added, said Baird Carr, KTUL maintenance engineer.
The new archive will hold more than 15TB of storage before a cartridge has to be stored on a shelf. That equates to about three years of media available to be restored from any desktop without having to locate and add a cartridge stored on a shelf, he said.
The VT Media Archive Library for KTUL has 20 cartridge slots, or 1,440 hours of DV25 storage, and a dual-head LTO4 tape drive. It can be expanded to hold up to 44 cartridges as the station's needs demand.
At KATV, the VT Media Archive Library provides operators with the ability to search the database for archived content, restore it and drag it into a project within minutes without having to go find a videotape and ingest it. That's important because the station archives about 400 clips per week that have aired or are historically newsworthy, said Allen Finne, station director of engineering. The station has about 50 years of archives, and the new VT Media Archive Library is providing KATV with "an elegant solution" for integrating the archive with its existing newsroom system, he said.

OK, Maybe Apple Has Nothing to Learn from Microsoft
Remember yesterday's Backstage entry noting that Apple might be able to learn something useful for Apple TV from Microsoft? Well, simply watching this Windows Vista SP1 promotional video is enough to completely erase any thought of that sort. Never before have the words "epic fail" resonated so much.
Wow. Just wow. Thanks for pointing this out, Bob.

This must be fake ... it must ... I can't believe it.
If it's not (it must!), where did Microsoft show that kind of stuff and to whom?
I still can't believe it.

I'm pretty sure this is real. They were trying to be funny and serious at the same time. Wow, I don't think they realize that people will just look at this and laugh AT them instead of WITH them. It's just sad. I'm so glad apple doesn't have to do stupid stuff like this (and if you tell me those get-a-mac ads are stupid, then you have seriously no taste).
Posted by Thayne Miller on April 16, 2008 at 3:46 PM (CDT)
This can't possibly be real. Even Microsoft isn't that nerdy.
Posted by Maria on April 16, 2008 at 3:51 PM (CDT)
I'm reminded of Microsoft's Windows 386 promo video, which has a really awful Debbie Harry impersonation at the 8-minute mark:
"Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it…"

It's real. But it's an internal video. You know, a silly internal thing that is purposely stupid.
Still…Pretty lame.
Posted by Cameron T. on April 16, 2008 at 4:47 PM (CDT)
I realize internal stuff like this is supposed to be silly, but I'm embarrassed for them. I'm putting another twenty in the "saving for a macbook" coffer.
Posted by TexCub on April 16, 2008 at 5:35 PM (CDT)
There may be no way to beat Chris's video, which is in the process of destroying too many brain cells to count. But this video is also worth seeing. Astonishing.
Posted by Jeremy Horwitz in East Amherst, NY, USA on April 16, 2008 at 9:48 PM (CDT)
Most other sites have pointed out that this video was an intentional spoof, intended for internal distribution to lighten things up and get some laughs. I think an update to the article is in order.
Posted by David on April 17, 2008 at 11:48 AM (CDT)
It's really hard to believe that, as it sounds like a feeble attempt at post-embarrassment spin. Even if you put aside the fact that this video cost the company good money to produce, requiring everything from a set, actors, instruments, lyrics, subtitling, and so on, it's impossible to ignore that this video follows in a pattern of earlier trainwreck-quality sales force films Microsoft has made. (Just look at the links above.) Call them "intentional spoofs" or whatever you like, but they're insane.
Posted by Jeremy Horwitz in East Amherst, NY, USA on April 17, 2008 at 12:16 PM (CDT)
To anyone believing that this video was made with sincere intentions: you are sorely lacking in the irony gene. It is so obviously produced with a huge - HUGE - sense of tongue-in-cheek. Why not spend a lot of money on something to boost company morale? It's a funny video. Intentionally funny.
Posted by alexarch in Dallas, TX on April 17, 2008 at 6:34 PM (CDT)
Alexarch: Perhaps it was intended as a Microsoft recruiting exercise? You know, "anyone who thinks this is funny—intentionally funny—should apply to join our sales force, which incidentally rocks?"
For the record, lacking a sense of irony really doesn't explain what appears to be the majority reaction to this video. It's a matter of personal taste, and so far, it seems like most people think that if it was intended to be serious, it's awful, or if it was intended to be funny, it's awful. But there will always be people who have different senses of humor.
Posted by Jeremy Horwitz in East Amherst, NY, USA on April 18, 2008 at 8:27 AM (CDT)
I thank Mother Gaia, the alignment of the planets, and rainbow-colored moonbeams that my sense of humor doesn't fit in with the majority. I pride myself on it in fact.
Posted by alexarch in Dallas, TX on April 18, 2008 at 11:06 AM (CDT)
I have a bizarre and distorted sense of humor. I can appreciate humor in many instances in which others cannot.
I watched that video, and found it impossible to laugh, or otherwise gain any enjoyment from it. Reruns of "Saved by the Bell" are stupid and almost grotesquely corny, but I think a lot of people will readily admit to enjoying them. This video, on the other hand, didn't have anywhere near the sharpness of wit or wicked hilarity as an episode of the goings-on at Bayside High.
And that's saying something.

June 2010
By: Johannes F. Linn
This paper is a scoping exercise to explore options for research on urban poverty in developing countries. Based on a review of the literature and experience, the first part of the paper reviews the changing nature of the urban poverty agenda over the last 30 years by comparing today's issues with those addressed in World Development Report 1979. The issues are categorized by new issues, old issues still relevant, and forgotten issues; and are grouped by challenges, instruments, analytical and planning tools, data and benchmarks, regions/countries/cities, and institutions. The conclusion of this part of the paper is that while some of the old issues and prescriptions are still valid today, and some important ones apparently forgotten, there are many new issues and approaches that need now be considered. The second part of the paper takes the large array of issues identified in the first section and selects 10 for more detailed consideration as part of a menu of potential high-priority research initiatives on urban poverty. They include slums, employment, small- and medium-size cities, and women/children/youth (from among the challenges); comprehensive slum upgrading programs, conditional cash transfer programs, and incentive-based approaches (from among instruments); happiness and life satisfaction research approaches, impact evaluation, and strategic planning tools (from among analytical and planning tools). Among regions, countries and cities, Africa is recommended as a regional focus, China and India for country studies, and Bogota (or possibly other large cities) for specific city studies.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - This year's annual governor's deer-hunting opener will be in Winona.

Samsung Galaxy Ace Android phone
Samsung Galaxy Ace review: The Galaxy Ace is mid-range Android smartphone that offers a slick user experience, but is overpriced compared to its rivals
- Comfortable design and build quality
- Slick user experience
- Swype keyboard
- Comparatively expensive
- No Flash capability
- Low resolution screen
Bottom Line
The Samsung Galaxy Ace offers a slick user experience and a comfortable design. However, it is comparatively overpriced compared to some of its rivals. We definitely recommend shopping around before choosing the Galaxy Ace as your next phone.
Price$ 528.00 (AUD)
Best Deals (Selling at 1 store)
The Samsung Galaxy Ace is the latest in the company's Galaxy range — it's a mid-range Android phone that has a 3.5in capacitive touchscreen and a 5-megapixel camera, and is available exclusively through Telstra in Australia. The Galaxy Ace performs well and has reasonable features, but we think it's overpriced compared to its competition.
Read our guide to the best upcoming smartphones in 2011 and see other top Samsung phones.
Samsung Galaxy Ace: Design and display
We get sick of comparing every phone with the iPhone, but there is no mistaking the fact that the Samsung Galaxy Ace looks remarkably similar to the iPhone 3GS. It has the same rounded edges, the same gloss edging, the same size 3.5in touchscreen and the same physical home button below the display. The result is a phone that is light and comfortable to hold, and the Galaxy Ace also feels well put together despite its largely plastic construction. We like the rear battery cover, which uses a grippy surface that makes the phone easy to hold, and the volume and power/lock buttons are well placed, and easy to press.
The Samsung Galaxy Ace's 3.5in capacitive touchscreen is responsive to touch, but its low resolution of 320x480 means it isn't as crisp or clear as more expensive phones, particularly when displaying text. The screen is also tough to see in direct sunlight and although it's bright at full volume, the lack of an ambient light sensor is an annoyance.
Samsung Galaxy Ace: Software and performance
The Samsung Galaxy Ace runs the 2.2 'Froyo' version of Google's Android operating system, and features Samsung's TouchWIZ UI layer on top of the standard Android interface. TouchWIZ equips the Galaxy Ace with up to seven home screens for live widgets and shortcuts. There's nothing that's truly groundbreaking, but the Galaxy Ace includes a number of pre-loaded apps such as Navigon's full turn-by-turn GPS navigation app, the ThinkFree Office suite, Exchange Active Sync compatibility for corporate e-mail, and the Swype keyboard that allows you to draw your fingers over the letters you want to type in a single motion.
The Galaxy Ace also comes with Samsung's Social Hub app that combines social networking (Facebook, Twitter and MySpace), contacts, calendars and messaging activity into a single inbox. As with all Android-powered smartphones, the software is highly customisable via third-party apps which can be downloaded through the Android Market — Google's answer to Apple's App Store.
The excessive amount of Telstra customisation built into the software is an annoying aspect of the Samsung Galaxy Ace, but the user experience feels snappy and smooth. The inclusion of multitouch aids web browsing, even if the Galaxy Ace is a little sluggish when loading graphically intense web sites, but there is no Flash support, which is a key feature of Android 2.2. The exclusion of Flash is a little surprising, but given the Galaxy Ace's position as a mid-range handset, Samsung has likely excluded it to maintain performance. The now standard connectivity set of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 3G are all present.
Samsung Galaxy Ace: Battery life and other features
The Samsung Galaxy Ace has a 5-megapixel camera with autofocus, and a single LED flash on-board. It also doubles as a video recorder, but only in standard and not high definition. The camera produces photos good enough for the odd happy snap, but notable image noise and poor colour reproduction means that the Galaxy Ace isn't capable of anything more. The Galaxy Ace has limited internal memory (158MB), but the microSD card slot makes up for it, and the phone comes with a 2GB microSD card in the box.
Battery life is reasonably good: the Galaxy Ace will easily last a full day, and even stretched close to two days during testing, though this will depend on your usage patterns.
The Samsung Galaxy Ace is available through Telstra stores or online. It sells for $528 outright or can be purchased for $0 upfront on Telstra's $59 freedom connect plan. The plan includes $550 worth of calls, unlimited text messages and 1.5GB of data per month. The Galaxy Ace is also available on a range of Telstra business plans.

Kathy Cassidy
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

GIGABYTE GM-M7700 Wireless Laser Laptop Mouse
Squaring Off
With all this nifty gear stuffed into it, you might think the mouse is a little oversized for a travelling companion. But in actuality, it's one of the smallest wireless mice I have reviewed; maintaining the delicate balance of being small enough to slip in a laptop bag, but at the same time still fitting comfortably in the hand.
As can be seen in these pictures below, the comparison in size to Microsoft's Explorer Mini mouse shows that this mouse is a much tighter package to one of its main rivals. However, I prefer the rubber grips of the GM-M7700 as it gives the mouse a much nicer feel when being held for long periods of time.
Firing up some games like World of Warcraft to play for a couple of hours and we can see that the laser tracks well and there is no hand cramping that is usually associated with the half sized rodents.
Plugging it into my HTPC, the mouse is good up to 10 meters away and this is certainly well specced; there was no lag or drop out in the signal while navigating around my movie collection.
Getting into precision work is where the dual DPI system comes into its own. As an electronic engineer I sometimes need to make tiny precise movements when designing circuits and having the ability to switch between faster and more precise tracking is a god-send!
In conclusion, I would say that this mouse is a firm favourite for travelling with, due to its smaller package, comfort and multiple DPI settings. So don't be afraid to splurge a little next time you are looking for a good wireless mouse.

These findings imply that when our ancestors started to domesticate dogs, they could have built on a pre-existing ability of wolves to learn from others, not necessarily pack members.
