MUTUAL FUNDS REPORT; A Manager's Fight to Keep a Winning Streak Alive
By PATRICK McGEEHAN
Published: January 7, 2001
ON April 4, when William H. Miller III visited a class at the Columbia Business School, he sounded like the old-school value investor that his critics say he is not. Technology holdings had helped power his Legg Mason Value Trust to an unmatched, nine-year winning streak against the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index.
But on that day, as he addressed the students in Michael Mauboussin's securities analysis class, he said that technology stocks had risen too high and added that, although they had been dropping, they were headed for a greater fall.
''Valuations have not mattered in four or five years, and they have reached an extreme level,'' Mr. Miller told the class. ''We've reached a period where valuation will begin to matter again, so we have begun reducing our technology weighting.''
To Mr. Mauboussin, the message was dire: ''He said it's over for technology.''
Mr. Miller was right. The Nasdaq composite index had finished that day at 4,149. It dropped 20 percent in the next eight trading days and finished the year at 2,471.
Until early 1999, when Mr. Miller seemingly could do no wrong, that tale probably would have ended with him making just the right adjustments, so that his fund could race ahead of the overall market and score big gains again. But by late 2000, Mr. Miller appeared to have lost the golden touch.
His phenomenal success had led investors to pour billions of dollars into what had been an obscure fund sold through Legg Mason, a brokerage firm based in Baltimore.
But some rivals were crying foul. They argued that a value investor -- supposedly one who trolls among companies that have fallen out of favor -- had no business owning some of the pricey stocks, including America Online and Dell Computer, that had propelled the Value Trust's rise.
The fund's early investors had no complaints. The average annual return for the Value Trust since Mr. Miller, 50, took over its management in October 1990 has been more than 23 percent, compared with 18.2 percent for the S.& P. 500.
His consistency has made him a reluctant, rumpled star of the investment world. In style and demeanor, he more closely resembles Warren Buffett and his investing partner, Charles Munger, than Peter Lynch, the promotion-minded former manager of the popular Fidelity Magellan fund.
''In my view, he's the best mutual fund manager in America,'' said Mr. Mauboussin, an investment strategist at Credit Suisse First Boston, who said the Value Trust was the only actively managed fund he owned. ''He's had a couple of things that have really land-mined this year. But the guy made more money than God in AOL and Dell.''
During a presentation to reporters in mid-December at the ''21'' Club, Mr. Miller's modest nature was on full display. He projected a Calvin & Hobbes cartoon strip that showed a boy saying, ''How can something seem so plausible at the time and so idiotic in retrospect,'' as a water balloon bursts in his hands.
''That's the way that I feel with a lot of the stocks we bought this year,'' Mr. Miller said. He made no attempt to sugar-coat the truth: It has been a while since he made a big bet on a stock that did not soon blow up in his face.
''The three names we bought last year all collapsed; the one we bought this year collapsed,'' he said, then joked: ''So, I think we'll buy none next year.''
At that point, with less than three weeks left in the year, the Value Trust was dead even with the S.& P. 500. Value Trust had fallen far behind the market early in the year as dot-coms and other technology stocks rocketed on. But then Mr. Miller's timely sales of chunks of AOL and some other winners, along with his purchase of bank stocks, narrowed the gap, renewing his chances of keeping his streak alive.
''We're not having a disastrous year because we sold a lot of tech and rolled into financials in the spring when the financials were getting croaked,'' he said. His fund's return would have been 10 to 20 percentage points worse than the market's, he said, ''if we had just sat and done nothing all year.''
As the year-end neared, Mr. Miller knew what it would take to pull out another market-beating performance. First, financial stocks would have to match the market's return for the next few weeks. That would probably happen, he said then. Then, one or more of the beaten-down technology stocks in his portfolio, either Gateway, Amazon.com or Nextel Communications, would have to rally. That was a longer shot, he said.
Either way, the outcome was out of his hands. He planned to make few, if any, changes to the portfolio and would not even stick around the office to see how things turned out. Instead, he planned to retreat during the holidays to Santa Fe, N.M., the home of one of his passions, the Santa Fe Institute, a research organization where scholars like Murray Gell-Mann, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist, hold forth on esoteric matters.
For more than a decade, Mr. Miller has made pilgrimages to the institute to study complex, adaptive systems, a simple model of which might be an ant colony, a more complex one the stock market. Among the applicable lessons he has learned from other institute regulars, he said, are how some apparent competitors, be they birds or computer makers, can coexist and thrive.

PORT-AU-PRINCE The U.N. mission in Haiti faced public anger on Monday over allegations that Uruguayan U.N. troops raped an 18-year-old local man, in the latest incident to threaten the reputation of U.N. peacekeepers in the poor Caribbean state.
Outrage in the earthquake-ravaged nation has been rising over a video shot by a cellphone camera and circulating on the Internet that shows laughing Uruguayan marines pinning the young Haitian face down on a mattress and apparently assaulting him sexually in a southern town.
In a statement, Haitian President Michel Martelly said the perpetrators of what he called "a collective rape carried out against a young Haitian" would not go unpunished.
Haitian authorities, the U.N. Mission in Haiti and Uruguay's Defense Ministry have launched an investigation into the video. The four troops suspected of being involved have been detained and Uruguay's Navy has replaced the head of its naval contingent with the U.N. peacekeeping mission in Haiti.
"The Presidency vigorously condemns this act which revolts the nation's conscience, and awaits a detailed report establishing the exact facts and circumstances," Martelly's office said in a statement released late on Sunday.
The alleged victim, Johnny Jean, and his mother, Rose Marie Jean, told Haitian radio stations he had been raped by the Uruguayan marines. They have given testimony to a judge in Port-Salut, where the incident allegedly took place on July 28, according to regional police chief Fritz Saint-Fort.
In Port-Salut on Monday, several hundred people chanting "Justice for Johnny" staged a peaceful protest, local journalists said.
The U.N. mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) is taking the case "very seriously," chief mission spokeswoman Eliane Nabaa told Reuters. "For now, we cannot say whether it was a case of rape or not. Only the investigation will determine that and the investigation is still underway," she said.
U.N. peacekeepers in Haiti have faced public anger before, notably over allegations that Nepalese U.N. troops brought a deadly cholera epidemic to the country after their camp latrines contaminated a local river. This sparked riots last year against the 12,000-strong U.N. peacekeeping contingent.
The cholera epidemic has killed more than 6,200 people since October in Haiti, which is still struggling to recover from a devastating 2010 earthquake in which more than 300,000 people died, according to the Haitian government.
Nabaa said that if the allegations against the Uruguayan marines is proven true, "the United Nations, which has a zero-tolerance policy toward such behavior, will make sure the necessary steps are taken against the perpetrators."
Johnny Jean told a radio station in Les Cayes, southern Haiti, that four soldiers carried out the assault. "Two held me and two raped me. They hit me several times," he said.
"After that, the soldiers tried to negotiate with my mother to cover up the act, but my mother did not want to and alerted the authorities and filed a complaint," Jean added.
"My son has been raped. It is a crime that should be punished. So we are demanding justice and reparation," Rose Marie Jean told the station.
The U.N. peacekeeping contingent in Haiti had been working hard to improve its image with Haitians following last year's damaging allegations that some of its members may have caused the cholera outbreak.
Some critics condemn the U.N. mission as an occupying foreign military force in Haiti, but many credit the peacekeepers with helping to reduce crime and violence.
International experts, including a panel tasked by the United Nations, pointed to the U.N. Nepalese contingent's riverside camp as the likely source of the cholera, although a U.N. spokesman said this was not necessarily conclusive.
MINUSTAH was established by the U.N. Security Council in 2004 and has been helping Haiti's short-staffed and ill-equipped police to maintain security in the country, especially during elections plagued by fraud and unrest.
Martelly, who won an election in March, has acknowledged Haiti still needs the peacekeepers but has called for a redefinition of their future role and for the creation of a Haitian security force to eventually replace them.

SEOUL, June 19 (Yonhap) -- Samsung Group, the country's leading conglomerate, said Wednesday that it will spend 1.5 trillion won (US$1.32 billion) over the next three years to reduce the electricity consumption of its affiliates by 20 percent by 2015.
The group said the earmarked budget will be spent on improving energy-saving facilities and the use of renewable energies.
Samsung said it will spend 1.1 trillion won in replacing outdated freezing facilities at its plants and 300 billion won to switch to energy-efficient LED lighting.
The remaining amount will be spent on renewable energies such as solar energy, it said.
The move comes as the country was forced to shut down two nuclear reactors while also delaying the scheduled operation of two newly built reactors due to various control cables of sub-standard quality that were supplied and used under fake test results and quality certificates.
Energy-saving measures currently under way include a strict ban on any store doing business with their doors open and air conditioner running as a way of attracting more customers off the street.
Such measures will be enforced until the end of August.

Two Popular Productions Extend Runs
In this season of (seemingly) a thousand Shakespeare plays on the New York stage, even productions bearing the faintest whiff of the Bard are finding more demand than supply. On Wednesday, two such productions, the interactive walk-through "Sleep No More" and the tour-de-force "Jerusalem" announced extensions of their limited New York engagements.
"Jerusalem," a British import to Broadway that was nominated for six Tony Awards earlier this month, will inhabit the Music Box Theatre on 45th Street for an additional four weeks, through Aug. 21. The play, by Jez Butterworth, stars Mark Rylance as a modern-day Falstaff living in a trailer in rural England. Mr Rylance served as the artistic director at Shakespeare's Globe from 1996 to 2005, and as an associate actor of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
Meanwhile, the New York production of "Sleep No More," a 90-room art installation functioning as a loose, interactive adaptation of "Macbeth," has extended its run through Sept. 5. The decision follows a handful of recent honors, including the Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatrical Experience and the Obie Awards' Special Citation for Design & Choreography. The production, mounted by the British theater group Punchdrunk, opened April 13 at the McKittrick Hotel on West 27th Street.

How do I get 20 random integers from the following code stored into an array where I can then use a sorting method?
This is what I am working for in the end:
Write a MIPS program to complete the following functions. You must write comments and follow the register convention. [30 points]
(1) Declare an integer array of 20 elements and other variables and labels; [5]
(2) Write a procedure to initialize the array. Use random numbers between 0 and 99, and use a loop to initialize the array. [10]
(3) Implement a sort procedure. You can use the sort procedure given in textbook 2.1.3. [5]
(4) Write the main program. It calls the initialization procedure; prints the numbers in the array; calls the sort procedure to sort the numbers in the array; and print the numbers in the sorted array. [10]

For most of us, cellular data through our carrier is limited. Whether you're traveling internationally or you're about to hit your data cap for the month, turning off cellular data completely lets you rest assured you won't be hit with overage charges. Here's how:
How to turn off cellular data on an iPhone or iPad
- Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or cellular capable iPad.
- Now tap on Cellular — on the iPad, it's labeled Cellular Data.
- Turn the option for Cellular Data to Off.
Alternately, if you're only concerned with roaming charges, you can turn off Data Roaming in the same menu as cellular data. This option should stop your iPhone or iPad from roaming on any network other than your provider's. Another great option for international travel. However, I have heard stories of people using this option and still getting hit with overages. If you want to play it safe, it's best to disable cellular data altogether when traveling abroad.

There is one Eye that most coin and paper money collectors are quite familiar with. That Eye is the All-Seeing-Eye. This symbol, featured on the reverse side of a $1 Federal Reserve note, has been a source of controversy and discussion ever since it found a home there in 1935 on the $1 silver

Drivers with long memories might be rolling their eyes at the prospect of Skoda's return to Australian roads after a 25-year break.
But the cars that now bear the Skoda badge have nothing in common with the old Iron Curtain clunkers.
Owned by Volkswagen since 1991, Skoda has become a global success story, combining VW's technical nous and cheaper pricing with a tempting package.
The mid-sized Octavia is a perfect example. One of two relaunch nameplates, Skoda's biggest global seller employs Golf V fundamentals shrouded in bespoke sheet metal.
What do you get?
Skoda is offering 16 Octavia models - hatches and wagons, petrol and diesel engines, front and all-wheel-drive, manual, auto and automated-manual (DSG) gearboxes and three trim levels.
Our test car was a hatchback in the mid-level Elegance specification, powered by a 1.8-litre turbo-petrol direct-injection four-cylinder engine.
At $30,990, the Elegance is competitively priced for a mid-sized car, adding 16-inch alloy wheels, six-CD audio, auto headlights, a rear armrest and dual-zone climate control over the Ambiente baseline that already includes remote central locking, cruise control, a trip computer and full-sized spare tyre.
But the only transmission is a six-speed manual. If you want an auto you'll have to opt for the 2.0-litre normally aspirated engine, swap to one of the turbo-diesel/DSG combinations or wait until one is offered early next year.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A report from the White House says health
insurance premiums in Oklahoma have risen twice as much as wages
since 1999.
The report says the cost of premiums is up by 96 percent while wages rose by 47 percent. The 96 percent increase in the cost of premiums is among the lowest in the nation.
Michigan had the lowest increase at 88 percent.
Vice President Joe Biden told a group of state insurance commissioners Tuesday the gap between premiums and wages is rising across the country.
The figures are based on information from an agency within the Department of Health and Human Services.

Haven't been taking it very long, but it seems to be helping with my morning back pain. UPDATE: This product eliminated my lower back stiffness and pain by the end of the bottle. That pain had been troubling me for about five years. UPDATE: Two years later and still no sign of pain. I'm 59 and as flexible now as I've ever been. I continue taking it on a daily basis to be sure I stay that way.

I brought this product originally for uterine fibroids for which i was having devastating pelvic pain. The emergency room confirmed that U. Fib were the cause. The traumatic pain didn't return but fibroids cant be confirmed cured or improved unless you have a ultra sound or similar xray. This product did wonders for my arthritis, reduced the episodes of my hands, and feet drawing up to zero.
this is a wonderful product.

since taking this product my inflammation has reduce. I have adhesion through recent surgery and when taking serrapeptase i can feel that these adhesions are being worked on. I get a throbbing sensation and fine pin sensation. I suspect it doing good. also my appetite has improved too.
serrapeptase, it's doing something...
Posted by Reviewer2930969 on Feb 19, 2009
i've been taking this for a couple of weeks and i'm hoping for a good result. it's doing something because i woke up in the night and leaned up on one arm and felt something pull loose inside, kinda scary at first, but it felt like and i think it was an adhesion that the serrapeptase had weakened to the point of pulling loose. i'm having some weird sensations in different parts of my body, but i'm just hoping it's the serrapeptase doing good things, like little scrubbing bubbles. i hope. i'm taking two to four capsules per day with equal amounts of nattokinase.
NSAID Alternative
Posted by Reviewer2506090 on Nov 23, 2007
Wanted to get off of 800 mg ibuprophen twice per day for low back pain and sciatica. Although the pain was minimal, it took about three days to be completely pain free. Three tabs keep me pain-free for about 8-10 hours before the pain returns. It is difficult to remember to take on an empty stomach so wait 3-4 hours after eating and do not eat for at least one hour after taking serrapeptase. Would highly recommend as an alternative to NSAIDS.
Works well for pain

I just learned about serrapeptase, and I ordered this brand because of the quality and price. I gave it 4 stars because I haven't used other products to compare it to. I have a lot of body pain from arthritis and fibromyalgia. This supplement made a noticeable difference when I started taking it. I use it every day.

My wife and I are artists. We live across the lane from our rental. When the house came up for sale in 1985 we couldn't refuse.
Ken Woisard purchased this house in 1985
The house is a classic New England farm house. It has some modern features yet retains it's farm house charm with some natural and some painted floors. Located on a private lane right in the village, it shares the best of both worlds. Great safe place for kids.
East Blue Hill Village is a special place on the Blue Hill Peninsula. It is off the beaten track yet is close to the town of Blue Hill for shopping. There are lots of galleries and interesting places to visit, including hikes within a short drive. Some of Maine's best artists live close by.
This was our 2nd stay at The Long House in East Blue Hill - we returned because this location and rental is so delightful! East Blue Hill is nicely placed so that one can visit both Acadia and other Down East destinations (Brooklin - Deer Isle - Stonington - Castigne) in an hour or less. Easy walk to library, park w/ boat launch, and Curtis Cove is a huge plus. The house was ideal for our family: simple, clean, comfortable, well-maintained, everything you're likely to need is there! When you vacation here, you want a day at home - it is a restful, peaceful place and the sunny front porch is perfect for breakfasting in the sun. We hope to return for many years to come!
We had a very pleasant stay in this house. It had everything my family needed (2 young girls) and the owner was very accommodating. He provided a high chair for my one year old. While it doesn't have an ocean view it is located on very nice grounds and is quiet. I would recommend this to anyone and wouldn't think twice about renting again.
In short, the house was great and the owners were really great as well.
I would not hesitate to recommend this rental to a couple or small family. The location is a great base for exploring Blue Hill, the Wooden Boat School, and Deer Isle. Kayaking was easy to arrange and the cove down the street was very accessible for beach combing. The house was light, airy, and comfortable. The rooms are spacious and attractively decorated. The owners recommended local events and restaurants and helped us figure out the DVD player and WiFi connection. They were very helpful!
This house is a perfect rental for a family of four. Very clean and bright - with everything we needed. It is in a beautiful little village with one of the best beaches in the area (lovely cove) just a short bike ride away. Large lawn for kids to play, very child-friendly neighborhood - we even went crabbing on the little bridge nearby. Lots to do in the area - esp. neighboring Blue Hill. Kayaking, environmental cruise, sailing, swimming, biking etc etc. Owners very helpful and friendly. We had a great week!
Discover dynamic Blue Hill Village or hike blueberry covered slopes of Blue Hill Mountain. Experience the galleries, studios, and antique shops of Brooklin and Sedgwick. Watch lobster boats slip through the morning fog of Eggemoggin Reach off Brooksville. Visit the historic sites and unique shops of Castine. Enjoy leisurely fishing on Penobscot's 18 miles of shoreline and interior marshes and ponds. Explore glorious bays and charming inlets under paddle, sail, or power. Whatever your pleasure, we welcome you to the Blue Hill Peninsula.

On deck: Baltimore at Angels, Sunday, 12:30 p.m.
Where: Angel Stadium
TV: Fox Sports West
Did you know: Josh Hamilton hasn't produced an extra-base hit since April 14, a streak spanning 18 games.
Numbers game: 11 — With 99 career stolen bases, Erick Aybar's next swiped bag will make him the 11th Angel in franchise history to reach the century mark.
Williams, 31, will be making his first start of 2013, stepping into the rotation spot originally occupied by ace Jered Weaver and, more recently, Garrett Richards. Williams' standout six innings in the 19-inning loss to Oakland proved to Angels brass that he's ready for the rotation, as did three other outings of three innings or longer this year.
vs. Baltimore: 3-0, 3.00 ERA
at Angel Stadium: 9-3, 2.68 ERA
Loves to face: Adam Jones: 1 for 6 (.167)
Hates to face: Nolan Reimold: 3 for 4 (.750), 1 HR, 2 RBI
Hammel has been good his last two times out, allowing two combined earned runs in 11 innings. The Angels shelled him for eight runs in 31/3 innings in Baltimore in June, but he came back to record a quality start in Anaheim 10 days later. The Orioles have won each of Hammel's past four starts.
vs. Angels: 0-3, 7.02 ERA
at Angel Stadium: 0-2, 3.55 ERA
Loves to face: Erick Aybar: 0 for 5
Hates to face: Howie Kendrick: 4 for 7 (.571), 3 RBI, 1 walk

There are many folks around the country that may have just been introduced to the existence of City Market, in Luling, earlier this year when Newsweek published their list of the "101 Best Places to Eat" around the world. I myself have joked at the dubious nature of most lists like this one, but as one of only fourteen restaurants in North America to make the list alongside such names as Husk, Daniel, and Momofuku,…
Showing this joint to a friend for the first time is always fun, but the huge line can be daunting. Luckily we were stuffed, so waiting for a half hour or so wasn't the worst that could have happened. Once inside the smoking room we were mesmerized by the smell and the view of these huge smokers. One of them was completely full of the popular beef links, which helped to create some room in…
You've come for wholeness, for satisfaction deep within your soul. Your searching has brought you here, to the company of fellow pilgrims in the snaking line. Slowly, you advance across the tile floor, past the knotty-pine walls, and up to the inner sanctum: a glass-enclosed chamber where a host of priests, in green apron vestments and orange hard hats, labor at a smoky altar. Aware of your unworthiness, you push open the swinging door. This…
Finally made it here. It lives up to the hype though I agree with past reviews that the brisket was dry. But it still had lots of flavor. The sausage was delicious, I wish I'd got more but I didn't want to stand in line again. The ribs were the star of the show. So much flavor and slid of the bone.
I ordered brisket and sausage, wife ordered ribs and sausage. My brisket was somewhat dry but had a good flavor. The sausage was lean and had a good flavor. The ribs were very good. Beans were bland and the potato salad was just average. I have tried both locations in Luling and I prefer the one across the street.
Stopped for lunch a few weeks back had brisket and sausage. Moist brisket did not have much flavor today.sausage was good as always for the last 30 years. Of course I will be back. This what I grew up on and all places are compared to City Market
Love this place. Sausage and ribs were excellent
Got the sausage, ribs and brisket! All really good. Brisket was moist and had good flavor. Side are good and I like the big slice of
Sausage to go for the trek back to Houston from West Texas is a welcome change from fast food. Leftovers are always a welcome surprise the next day.
Delicious as always!!
Was so excited to finally make it to this Texas institution. The shabby, unkempt interior was alluring at first but soon
There are few places we love as much as the pit room at City Market. Entering the smoke-filled, glass-enclosed chamber at the back of the dining room is an experience you will remember for decades—a trip into an iconic, sacred space in the world of barbecue. Like Kreuz Market and Smitty's Market, in Lockhart, this joint has been a mainstay in our top tier for years, and while we'd still recommend a visit, the tough, tasteless brisket from repeated visits over a series of months (and the impressive quality from new joints) has moved it down a notch. Maybe the layer of unrendered fat and lack of smoke is the result of the short cooking time—six to eight hours—or maybe it's the result of a lamentable new development at City Market. We didn't want to believe this at first, but it seems that this venerable old partisan of wood-smoking has, of late, been using a gas-fired Southern Pride smoker on the weekends to help provide for the heavy crowds. To discover the intrusion of gas into one of the canonical Central Texas joints was sort of like finding out that Willie Nelson lip-synchs, and we took it as a very dark and ominous sign. Thankfully, the other meats still stand out. The pork ribs, which showed a half-inch smoke ring, were the best thing on the menu: semisweet, meaty, and flavorful, with a perfect salty exterior. And when we bit into the homemade beef sausage ring, the snap was audible. Inside, the meat was coarse and juicy, with good seasoning. Though anything would be great dipped in City Market's thin mustard sauce, we were a little disappointed that we had to use it on the brisket.

Carlos Guillen quickly phoned Freddy Garcia after the Seattle Mariners swapped the pitcher to the Chicago White Sox June 27. Guillen wanted to congratulate Garcia, a longtime friend and teammate, and to commiserate. He was glad to see Garcia out of Seattle, believing that Mariners' executives had lost faith in Garcia in the same way they stopped believing in Guillen.
It is so much better being out of Seattle, Guillen said this week, a few days after Detroit manager Alan Trammell and general manager Dave Dombrowski pulled Guillen aside to tell him he'd been named to the American League All-Star team. "I know they were not happy with me over there (with the Mariners)," Guillen said. "I was happy when they traded me, because I did not want to be there. When they treat you like that, I do not want to be there.
"They never treated Freddy like a No. 1 starter. That's why he's pretty happy right now."
Guillen has drawn motivation from his departure out of Seattle, and is energized by the feeling that the Tigers are fully invested in him; Guillen recently signed a three-year, $14 million extension that runs through the 2007 season. He has been just as responsible for Detroit's remarkable improvement this season as fellow All-Star Ivan Rodriguez.
Guillen "had been a good, solid player, but I think he's stepped it up this year," said Trammell. "He's just coming into his prime. It's just a matter of him maturing and coming into his own."
Guillen is 28 years old and blossoming: He is hitting .329 with 12 homers and 62 RBI halfway into the season. The switch-hitter is batting .359 against right-handers, with a .432 on-base percentage and .599 slugging average. Guillen already has achieved career-highs in homers and triples (7) and needs only two doubles to surpass his career-high in that category (24, in 2002).
Last week, Trammell phoned Joe Torre, the manager of the American League All-Stars, and began passionately making his case for Guillen to be in Houston. But the cell phone service kept breaking up -- Can you hear me now? -- and Torre struggled to tell Trammell that he needn't bother with his pleas, because Guillen had already been chosen for the team.
He had been a top prospect when the Houston Astros traded him in the summer of 1998, along with fellow Venezuelan Garcia, for Randy Johnson. Guillen did not flourish immediately, limited by injuries, and by 2003, he often played third base -- a sure sign, Guillen thought, that the Mariners did not think he could ever be good enough to play shortstop.
There were signs, however, that Guillen -- already a productive player -- was getting better, particularly against right-handed pitchers. His on-base percentage vs. righties had climbed, from season to season, beginning in 2000: .333, .351, .337 and then .373 in 2003. But Guillen hadn't played in more than 140 games in any season, and the Mariners looked to trade him after last year. They came close to making a deal for Cleveland's Omar Vizquel, then eventually swapped Guillen to Detroit for infielder Ramon Santiago and minor-league shortstop Juan Gonzalez; with Guillen out of the way, the Mariners signed free agent Rich Aurilia to a one-year, $3.15 million contract to play shortstop.
It's a choice that may long haunt the Mariners. Aurilia, 32, has had a terrible season. He's currently batting .241, with four homers and 28 RBI, and has struggled playing defense on the Safeco Field infield surface; Guillen and Aurilia talked earlier this season about how the infield dirt there seems to be chopped up for good by the first spike marks in each game.
Guillen had a respectable on-base percentage with the Mariners, and he would generally give Seattle tough, prolonged at-bats. But coming into this season, Guillen determined that he wanted to be more patient, put himself into more and more pitch counts when he could attack the ball. "I thought that would give me a better chance of recognizing pitches," he said. To that end, Guillen is hitting .545 when the count is 2 balls and 0 strikes against him -- 6-for-11, with two homers -- and .375 after the count is 2-0, with seven homers.
Guillen thought he had exceptional teammates in Seattle, Bret Boone and Edgar Martinez and John Olerud and others. But he felt the same frustration as other Mariners in recent seasons, after Seattle did not make midseason trades to augment its roster. "They never made good trades in July," said Guillen. "The last three or four years, they never did something. You feel like you're going out there, putting your heart into it, making plays, getting the fans excited -- and then they don't make changes. Everybody made deals, and they didn't."
Trammell believes Guillen benefited greatly from being surrounded by the strong cast of players in Seattle -- veterans who played the game the right way and executed. "They taught him the right way, and he's a learner and an observer," said Trammell. "I think the change of scenery has given him a little bit more freedom, not being surrounded by a lot of guys who may have overshadowed him a little bit. But he learned from them."
It may be that Guillen needed to leave Seattle to gain a full measure of confidence, says an executive who has watched Guillen play since he was a minor-leaguer with the Astros. Since the Johnson deal, there was always great focus on the young infielder's performance. "He's in a situation now in Detroit where expectations aren't quite as high for him," said the executive. "To be a young player breaking in on contending team, like he was -- that's tough."
"I always thought he was a good player, consistent. But there was probably too much pressure put on him in Seattle, and he was never good enough. Now the real player is starting to come out."

Will this plugin process the image and change the compression, no matter of the dimensions of the image that is uploaded?
Sometimes I will prepare images in the exact dimensions, already compressed with Photoshop so I don't need to optimize anything while another time a client will upload images by himself and it is necessary that the automatic optimization is in place.

Hot off the Griddle: December 1
By Eric Roston
Good morning, and welcome back to the Griddle, a morning news menu of fast food for your mind that's also healthy. We stipulate this today because a movement is afoot, particularly in San Francisco, to encourage healthy fast food for the smallest among us. A city ordinance aimed at childhood obesity prohibits restaurants from giving away toys in kids' meals if they pack more than 600 calories, come with an excessively sugary beverage and have no fruits and vegetables. Prompted by the San Francisco law, McDonald's will begin today charging ten cents extra for guests who'd like a toy in their Happy Meals. Hello Kitty, goodbye.

PC bang
|PC bang
|Korean name
|PC방, 피시방 or 피씨방[1]
|Revised Romanization
|pisibang or pissibang
|p'isibang or p'issibang
A PC bang (Korean: PC방; literally "PC room") is a type of LAN gaming center in South Korea, where patrons can play multiplayer computer games for an hourly fee. The typical cost for an hour of play ranges from 500 to 1500 won (approximately $0.43 to $1.27 USD), with 1000 won per hour being the most common cost. Although the per capita penetration of computers and broadband internet access is very high in South Korea, PC bangs remain popular as they provide a social meeting place for gamers (especially school-aged gamers) to play together with their peers. The computer hardware used by PC bangs may be more powerful than the systems available in the players' homes. Most PC bangs allow players to eat and drink while they play. Catering to people who stay for long hours, PC rooms are usually equipped with drinks and snacks (that are bought separately). Popular snacks include ramen cup noodles, coffee in cans, and various chips. Players can also order food from local restaurants.
The first 전자 카페 ('junja kappeh', which literally translates to 'electronic cafe') in South Korea opened in March 1988, which was then closed in 1991. The original creators of the junja kappeh, Ahn Sang-Soo and Geum Nu-Ree, launched an electronic cafe next to Hongik University. At the time, people were able to use two 16-bit computers, which were connected by a telephone line.
The most played games in PC bangs are known in the industry as massively multiplayer online role-playing games, in which more than 100,000 people around the globe can play at the same time.[2] PC bangs rose to popularity following the release of the PC game StarCraft in 1998.[3] South Korea has developed a thriving computer industry with the Internet use reaching over 50% of the population. Currently 25 million citizens are using the Internet, and 14.4 million Korean homes are equipped with Internet access.[4] Accompanying this high rate of home Internet access it is the estimated 25,000 PC bangs that now exist, while in 1997 there were only around 100 PC bangs in South Korea.[5] Many popular Korean multiplayer games provide players with incentives which encourage them to play from a PC bang. For example, the Nexon games Kart Rider and BnB reward players with bonus "Lucci" — the games' virtual currencies — when they log on from a PC bang.
Although PC bangs are used by all ages and genders, they are most popular with male gamers in their teens and twenties.[6] Throughout the day, the demographics of the PC room change. Most PC rooms are open 24 hours. In the mornings, the primary type of user is an adult male, between 30 and 50. During the afternoons, young males come in groups between 1-3 pm.[7] During this time is when PC bangs are the noisiest. Around dinner time, teenagers and young adults come in. They usually play online card, arcade, or MMORPG games. Competitive game players (ages 18 and up) start coming in at 8pm and usually stay for several hours or all night.[7]League of Legends, Lineage II, Sudden Attack and Starcraft are the most popular games for late-night players.[citation needed]
Social aspect[edit]
PC bang industry has created a culture that is participated in by most youth in South Korea. Gamers have turned the PC bang into a socialization facility, becoming a huge part in the lives of the Korean youth today. Many students have suggested that the PC-Bang provides a stress free, fun and youth dominated environment where groups of friends can meet and engage in a cooperative game. They have suggested that the games themselves may promote a social environment by promoting the development of squads or groups of players to play the game more effectively.[8]
With computer and Internet access so readily available to the public, both at home and at the PC-Bangs, gaming addiction has become a concern. The consequences of several amount of hours spent at the PC bang gaming and the strong need to compete causes increased addiction and displacement problems of the Korean PC-Bang users. Biggest displacements due to addiction include sleep, school, homework, promises to meet with friends and time spent with friends.[8] As part of its efforts to battle online game addictions among teenagers, South Korea introduced a law that prohibits those aged 16 and under from playing online games between midnight and 6 a.m.[9] The law mainly targets PC online games as well as consoles with online features. It allows a two-year grace period for smartphone and tablet PC games before reconsidering if they should be included, as online game addictions on those platforms are not currently considered a serious problem.[10]

OpenOffice 3.0: Three Million Downloads in the First Week
In an announcement on his blog, the UK's OpenOffice Marketing Manager, John McCreesh, states that in the first week of its release, OpenOffice.org 3.0 registered over 3 million downloads.
Yet the project only records downloads from the so-calledBouncer website. Fact is, OpenOffice is shared through many different resources: magazine DVDs for example, or the Bittorrent network and package-source distros. So the total number of downloads is actually a lot higher.
McCreesh also explains the ratio of downloads to the different platforms. In third place came the Linux community with 220.000 downloads. Mac users came second with 320.000 and top of the download charts were Windows users with a staggering 2,4 million. Solaris came far behind with ca.16.000 downloads and even less people, about 14.000, showed an interest in the actual source-code.
The high number of downloads may be astonishing, but for McCreesh this is only the beginning. The marketing strategy of the project plans to get OpenOffice to 40% of all users by 2010. And for this to work, they had better bolster their servers. The run on the new release of the latest version caused some of them to temporarily crash.
DistributionsSure enough, few Debian users will visit, since Debian has OO.o in the repositories.
Portable version?1. Do they allow OO.o3 to be installed without Admin privileged in Wind0ze? Something what is /friendly/ to corporate ITs. Because I (and many others) hate to beg and lick a**es to have some piece of software installed. OO.o2 required Admin privileges.
2. Do they provide official portable version? Version which doesn't require installation.
How many Windoze users don't try OOo?That is 7.4% for Linux, 10.8% for Mac, and 81.2% for Windoze.
I think it is save to assume, that only about half of all Windoze users
will try out OOo. But even then the Linux number is high!
One reason why Linux is not higheris that OpenOffice.org come bundled with the Linux Distros. For example I've just installed mandriva Linux 2009.0, and it has Open Office.org 3 as the default Office package.

Columbia University began as King's College, which was founded in 1754 by royal grant of George II, King of England, "for the Instruction of Youth in the Learned Languages, and the Liberal Arts and Sciences." The American Revolution interrupted its program, but in 1784 it was reopened as Columbia College. In 1912 the title was changed to Columbia University in the City of New York. King's College organized a medical faculty (College of Physicians and Surgeons) in 1767 and was the first institution in the North American Colonies to confer the degree of Doctor of Medicine.
The College of Dental Medicine traces its origin to 1852, when the New York State legislature chartered the New York College of Dentistry, later renamed the New York College of Dental and Oral Surgery. In 1916 Columbia University, having recognized dentistry as an integral and important part of the health sciences and a true university discipline, established its own school of dental education. Shortly thereafter, the new Columbia University dental school absorbed both the New York Post-graduate School of Dentistry and the New York School of Dental Hygiene. In 1923 it was joined by the New York College of Dental and Oral Surgery to form the School of Dental and Oral Surgery of Columbia University, thus completing a series of unique and complex mergers.
In January 2006 the School of Dental and Oral Surgery was renamed the College of Dental Medicine. The institution has remained a leading force in dental education and research ever since its establishment. In the early 1920s Professor William J. Gies of the Columbia Biochemistry Department established the International Association for Dental Research, the first organization devoted exclusively to research in the field of dentistry. In 1926 Professor Gies prepared the report Dental Education in the United States and Canada for the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. This was a major critique of dental education in the United States, and its publication resulted in the acceptance by dental schools throughout the country of the basic educational policies and objectives developed at Columbia University. The Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center was opened in the spring of 1928 at its present location, after the establishment of a permanent alliance between Columbia University with its College of Physicians and Surgeons, School of Dental and Oral Surgery, School of Public Health, and School of Nursing; the Presbyterian Hospital and its subdivisions; the New York State Psychiatric Institute; and the Washington Heights Health Teaching Center. In 1997, the Presbyterian Hospital merged with the New York Hospital (a partner of Weill Cornell Medical College) to form the New York-Presbyterian Hospital.

'Incisions' is the blistering new single from post-punk quartet Dead School. Only the band's third official release, they have already been signed to Irish independent label, FIFA Records and completed their first UK tour.
Dead School set their stall out in 2011 with an opening salvo of singles 'Frailties' and '3:17' that caught the ear of Irish alternative radio. They made their first festival appearance at the Indiependence Music and Arts Festival, playing on a bill that included The Editors, Ash and Therapy? With the band also recording sessions for
National stations 2FM and Today FM.
The band were quickly signed to FIFA Records and have just returned from an 11-date tour of the UK where they played with fellow Irish rising stars, Tieranniesaur, and Irish legends, The Frank & Walters and Whipping Boy.
'Incisions' completes a hat trick of fine singles from Dead School to date, displaying the band's trademark strengths of powerful post-punk riffs, dark and broody vocals that combine to elevate the song to a crescendo of feedback squall.
Dead School are set to record their debut album later in 2012 - in the meantime check out this latest release on FIFA Records and catch them on tour in Ireland and the UK in the coming months.
You know you're on to a good thing when a song makes you want to dance and smash the club to pieces at the same time"
Hot Press
"There's an epic swagger to Corks Dead School"
Metro Herald
"Band of the week, Dead School, a post-punk band from Cork, Ireland. Witty, socio-critical fun meets exalted, breathless vocals, guitar strumming is confronted with a pumping bass and a wailing overdrive"

CNN's Parent May Postpone News Merger With ABC
By BILL CARTER and JIM RUTENBERG
Published: November 11, 2002
Negotiators of the proposed merger between CNN and ABC News reported extensive progress late last week and predicted that an agreement in principle could be in place as early as January. But as the negotiators pushed ahead, new questions arose over whether the leadership of CNN's parent, AOL Time Warner , would delay any deal as it coped with other issues roiling the company.
AOL Time Warner has been buffeted by a series of crises in the past year, including management changes, and it is now facing a federal investigation into its accounting. Some executives at the two companies said AOL Time Warner could put off finalizing the merger, possibly for many months, to deal with what the board considers more pressing priorities.
"The board may be a little gun-shy for various reasons," one executive involved in the discussions said. "Not because they think it's a bad deal. I'm just not sure they want to take on a big, potentially controversial deal right now."
The board approval could also hinge on the position of Ted Turner, the AOL Time Warner vice chairman and founder of CNN. Numerous executives involved in the talks said Mr. Turner's position was unclear. They said he wanted to ensure that CNN was the dominant partner in the new entity. Still, the executives negotiating to bring about the new venture expressed confidence that it would eventually be approved because it would result in what one executive said was "hundreds of millions in cost savings and revenue gains."
The internal factors at AOL Time Warner aside, that conclusion was challenged last week by analysts and competing news organizations who said they were doubtful that a deal would be as beneficial as indicated by ABC's parent, the Walt Disney Company, by AOL Time Warner and by some in the news media.
Specifically, the questions concern claims being made by CNN and ABC News that a joint venture would enable them to marry their resources, cut redundancies and increase ad sales enough to generate more than $200 million in additional profits a year for the combined company. Some critics said the deal was a pure push to dazzle investment houses, with few other long-term benefits.
In an analysis of the merger last week, which he labeled a "curb your enthusiasm" report, Tom Wolzien, a media analyst for Sanford C. Bernstein, said he could not find anywhere near that much in savings and additional revenue. "I can get to $100 million," he said. "After that I don't know where it comes from."
Mr. Wolzien said that trimming costs at a news division was much more difficult than simply combining costs of coverage because individual programs, like "Nightline" and "Prime Time Live," had their own separate costs, which are far harder to cut without affecting the content. "The coverage business is a smaller portion of the costs than dealing with the costs of the shows," Mr. Wolzien said. Cutting too deeply, he added, "means you could start to disrupt the organization."
"One unintended cost is the morale cost," he said. "How much is that worth?"
Competitors, for certain, have reason to raise questions; should the merged venture run as smoothly as AOL and Disney hope, it could be a mighty force. Analysts, the negotiating parties argue, are drawing conclusions without knowing exactly what has been discussed or the exact budgetary structures of the two organizations — a point Mr. Wolzien conceded. "There could be stuff in there I don't know about," he said.
The executives involved in the deal emphasized that the revenue improvements would be realized over the long term. "We're looking for hundreds of millions over five years," one executive involved in the negotiations said. "It'll take five years to get it all up and running."
The plan, as it has been worked out by the two sides, would be to form a new entity, a joint venture to manage the two news operations. But each news operation would maintain its own identity. "These brands are too valuable to change," said one executive, who added that no new name would be introduced and that at least in the short term, viewers would see almost no difference.
Still, the path to a merger is thick with nettles, and obstacles to the completion of a deal, as well the financial and strategic challenges the new organization faces, remain.
They seem to number in the dozens, from how the ABC-CNN consortium would sell advertising time to how valuable that time would ultimately be and how scheduling decisions would be made about news programs shown on the ABC broadcast network.
In essence, ABC News-CNN would be an outside contractor to the ABC network. Disney would own roughly 30 percent of the new company to AOL Time Warner's 70 percent. The entity would have a single management structure and would be overseen by a board that, under one possible plan, would be composed of two officers from Disney and two from AOL Time Warner. This would provide joint control in the face of the lopsided equity arrangement.
Before factoring in any cuts, the new organization would have nearly $1.6 billion a year in costs — $900 to $1 billion from the CNN side — and roughly $200 million in profit, almost all of it generated from the CNN side.
