Assuming its true (which is a big assumption as we're supposed to take it as true because a journalist prints it in the paper?), I'd guess there is something in his original contract which promises some payment, and any monies given for him to leave is a deal to suspend that payment. So for me, again if this report is even close to accurate, its a demonstration of how bad some of those deals under DC were, and evidence we're looking to unwind them as quickly as possible now.
I agree with previous posters that, given he wasn't going to fit BR's plans, selling him makes total sense (regardless of whether you think BR is right or wrong or whether you think it could have been handled better).
I would like to point out that none of this is AC's doing - he always appeared to give 100% for the club and has maintained a respectful silence throughout the whole sorry affair. He has my total respect for that and I hope that he goes on to have a fantastic career.

Paddy have to agreee 100% with u...all respect to Andy C for conducting himself in an honourable manner where our club is concerned, shame some of the so called 'fans' werent able to accord him the same respect they got from him. Good Luck to the lad I wish him well in his club and International career.

Hi there Armchair,
With regard to Carroll leaving, I have a feeling that BR has also succeeded in getting rid of your team's Plan B.
Sometimes teams need to resort to 'Plan B' when Tiki-taka fails to deliver. Caroll could have been very useful for you lot in that respect. I still remember the way Andy Carroll single-handedly caused Chelsea all sort of problems when he came on in the latter stages of the FA Cup final at Wembley a few seasons ago. Ah well... it's too late now!

A Plan B is only any good if it's an effective and viable option.. BR thought Carroll wasn't good enough to be a Plan B. hence why he got rid. We'll buy in more players and they'll be a Plan B I suspect..
MCMXC1X.....100% AGREEMENT WITH U. Think Big SAM will get the best out of the lad hes not the stubborn personality that BR so obviously is. could be to do with the fact that Big Sam is a Lancashire Lad and BR is NOT.
MCMXCIX Liverpool didn't play Tiki-Taka last season, especially in the second half of the season when they were more successful. They played a high possession, sometimes high tempo game, that involved a fair number of long balls and direct play that you'd never see from Barcelona. Thank God in my view. I find Tiki-Taka tedious to watch and we don't have the players to play it well. As for Carroll, good sell, decent buy for West Ham but he doesn't fit Rodgers' Plan A, B or C - you can have different options of the bench but you can't fundamentally change your style of play as ateam. Rodgers is doing well in my view but this season will be the litmus test of him for me. Will be interesting.

VAIL - Travis Brown has been looking forward to Gear Town for a while.
"It's totally awesome," he said Feb. 8, jamming out to a Radiohead mash-up track. "This is right where I want to be."
Walk into Gear Town, set up at the base of Golden Peak, and you may be greeted by Brown doing flips and 720s on a slackline, a piece of climbing webbing used like a tightrope. This weekend, he's showing off a Gibbon 30-meter Surfline at Gear Town, a slackline designed for trampoline-style tricks.
"It's such a cool vibe out here, I love having the music pumping in the background," Brown said after showing off some spins on the 2-inch line.
The music was being provided by a DJ from Avalaunch, an Avalanche awareness and education festival that also has a booth set up at Gear Town.
"Gear Town is paired very well with the event," said Tate Chamberlin with avalaunchfestival.com. "Everybody here has an interest in outdoor activities."
At Gear Town, those outdoor enthusiasts are enjoying free demos of 9:ZERO:7 snow bikes with 4-inch tires, Madshus "no skins required" cross-country/downhill skis and Atlas' entire line of snowshoes, among other cool things. At the Ruffwear booth, check out the doggie-joring rig, which sets up large dogs so they can pull you on your skis. Inspired by Gibbon's slacklines, Ruffwear is also displaying a slackline leash at Gear Town.
"It goes from 6 feet down to 3 feet just by sliding a slider," said Greg Freyberg, of ruffwear.com. "You wear it around your waist, it's got reflective on it, and the adjustable slider is proprietary to Ruffwear."
Wigwam, a sock manufacturer our of Wisconsin, is also showing off some of their products at Gear Town this weekend.
"Basically, Ultimax technology moves moisture from foot bottom up and out of the sock," said Wigwam marketing manager Natalie Stangl. "No blisters, no moisture."
If you buy two pairs of Wigwam socks from Buzz's Boards in Vail Village and bring the receipt to the Wigwam booth at Gear Town, they'll give you a free pair. Partnerships like that one are common at Gear Town, where the swag flows like drool from the mouths of the dogs waiting for free treats outside the Eukanuba booth. Rhino-Rack partnered up with Volvo to give away free Rhino ski and snowboard racks every day (sign up at the Volvo booth), and Eddie Bauer partnered up with CSA to give you free tunes on your skis (drop them off at the Eddie Bauer booth).
The Eddie Bauer booth in Gear Town is an attraction in itself. In front of the booth, a three-person Katabatic tent is set up.
"Anyone's welcome to come take a nap in it," said Mario Burciaga, a brand rep with Eddie Bauer. "It's an award-winning tent."
At the booth, heated stone pillars greet guests. Burciaga or one of the other Eddie Bauer reps takes your info and your skis and passes them back to the tuners at CSA. Then, they'll sign you up to win a free $50 gift card from Eddie Bauer, give you some stickers and tell you about the ice casting wall, where you cast a fishing line over a wall made of ice and reel it back in. Often times on your reel back in, you'll find you have snagged a free Eddie Bauer T-shirt or First Ascent multiclava.
And the Eddie Bauer reps will also direct you to the Social Click photo booth in the east wing of the Eddie Bauer tent, where you can pose for a pic with the Winter Mountain Games red carpet-style photo-op wall behind you. View the photo on a screen in front of you, where you can opt to have it printed on a 5-by-7-inch glossy format on the spot and for free, courtesy of Eddie Bauer.
"It's a nice reminder that pictures can actually be printed," said Burciaga. "We forget there was once a time when that's all people did with them."
Of course Social Click is up on the latest, as well. From their booth display, you can access your Facebook and Twitter to have your pics automatically posted to your page.
Gear Town opens again at 9 a.m. on Feb. 10.

Halle Berry's ex Gabriel Aubry got a temporary restraining order against Halle Berry's fiance Olivier Martinez on Monday, claiming Martinez threatened to kill him before beating him up on Thanksgiving.
And judging by post-brawl pictures Aubry released on Monday, it looks like it wasn't just a threat. So much for the stereotype of the French running from fights. At least one of them seems pretty good at it.
Aubry got the order late Monday, after Berry got her own temporary order against Aubry. Aubry alleges that Martinez threatened to kill him if Aubry didn't let Berry and Martinez move to France with her and Aubry's 4-year-old daughter, Nahla, according to E! News.
During an ugly custody battle, a judge earlier this month ruled that Berry can't move her daughter to France. Which apparently didn't please Martinez.
In a court filing obtained by E! News, Aubry alleges Martinez first confronted him last Wednesday outside Nahla's school, saying in French, "I wish I could beat the (expletive) out of you right now. We're going to take Nahla right now and you're not going to follow us." Nahla ended up leaving school with Aubry, as scheduled.
He yelled at him at French? No wonder Aubry thought he could take him.
The next day, Thanksgiving, Aubry alleges he dropped off Nahla at Berry's house when Martinez attacked him. The court filing says, "He continued to punch me at least two or three times, kicked me in the ribs with his knee or foot, and took my head in his hands and slammed it to the concrete driveway." While Martinez was beating on him, Aubry claims Martinez told him, "You cost us 3 million dollars. When you see the judge you're going to go to Paris or I'm going to kill you.'"
I wouldn't go to Paris either if everyone there acts like this Martinez guy.
Aubry also alleges Martinez threatened to kill him if he didn't claim that he attacked Martinez. Aubry supposedly told police Martinez attacked him, but he was handcuffed, put in an ambulance and taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. He was arrested on suspicion of attempted battery.
Aubry's restraining order says Martinez must stay at least 100 yards away from Aubry. Maybe they should have made it farther. A hearing is scheduled for Dec. 17 over whether the temporary order becomes permanent.
Meanwhile, attorneys for both Aubry and Berry were in court Tuesday, arguing over Berry's temporary restraining order against Aubry.
Neither Halle nor Gabriel was in the courtroom, and there's no word on what was said at the hearing, which was closed off to media. Berry's attorney has said they want to make the order -- which specifies that Aubry must stay away from his daughter -- permanent.

Publication Date: May 21, 2013
Citation: Onisko, B.C., Silva, C.J., Requena, J.R., Carter, J.M. 2013. Methods to differentiate protein conformers. Patent Application. US Patent 8,445,642. Technical Abstract: Discrimination and quantitation of protein conformers is an unsolved scientific problem. Many proteins are known to exist in two or more conformations (e.g. PrPc and PrPsc in CJD, CWD, BSE, TME, scrapies; sup35 and ure2p in yeast; CPEB in long term memory formation; huntington and A-beta in neurological disease), and these conformers have significantly different biological properties. Discrimination and quantitation of these conformers is essential for diagnosing subclinical disease in animals and for monitoring the presence of disease-forming protein contamination of body fluids (e.g. blood, urine, saliva) or environmental samples. Proteins that exist in two or more conformers can be differentiated by their unique reactivities toward bifunctional crosslinking reagents (e.g. homo, hetero, or "zero length" reagents). Since distances between specific amino acid residues in the two conformers will be different, a suitably chosen crosslinking reagent will react with one but not the other conformer (and vice versa).

Jack Cashill: Deconstructing Obama
Thursday, February 17, 2011
6:30pm @ Plaza Branch
Kansas City-based independent writer and producer Jack Cashill discusses his latest book in which he contends President Barack Obama did not write his 1995 bestselling autobiography, Dreams from My Father, or his 2006 bestseller, The Audacity of Hope.
In Deconstructing Obama: The Life, Loves, and Letters of America's First Postmodern President, Cashill contends nothing in Obama's history suggests he was capable of writing either book. Indeed, Cashill concludes that the real author of Dreams from My Father was Bill Ayers.
Cashill is the author of seven books, three of which have been best-sellers. He has also produced a score of television documentaries.

OAKLAND -- Raiders owner Mark Davis consented to a group interview with the media about 30 minutes after his team lost for the third straight time, 38-17 to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday at the Coliseum.
Davis was cordial, candid and and passionate in answering myriad questions about the state of his team, the status of head coach Dennis Allen and general manager Reggie McKenize, his expectations and much more. Here's the entire transcript:
Q: How do you beat Pittsburgh, play Atlanta tough and then have this happen?
A: "The word regression."
Q: Is this are building season?
A: "Not as much. I don't know what the word would be. I know that we didn't have the talent, at the beginning of the year, to be a Super Bowl team. I thought that we had definitely potential to get maybe in the playoffs and beat our division. Obviously, that hasn't happened."
Q: What's your mood like?
A: "I'm not happy. But nobody in this room is."
Q: Do you still feel as if your team can turn it around this season?
A: "Take it game by game, but I don't know. I know they're going to fight."
Q: What do you say to the players?
A: "I didn't say anything to 'em. Let the coaches talk to 'em. I talked to Reggie (McKenzie, general manager)."
Q: What were the goals heading into the season?
A: "Finding a direction for the franchise, moving forward and seeing progress week to week would have been a happier time right now. But that's still possible."
Q: What kind of a challenge did you face with a first-time owner, rookie head coach, rookie general manager, salary cap issues, lack of draft picks, etc.?
A: "It's absolutely a challenge."
Q: Has the challenge been more daunting than you expected?
A: "No, I wouldn't say that. I wouldn't say that. Again, it's just the results of the game. You win or lose. We haven't been winning, and it hasn't been close thelast three weeks."
Q: Did you see depth as being an issue going into the season? Salary cap issues hamstring your team?
A: "As I said, coming in I didn't know that we had a Super Bowl team and everything, but you can't blame it on the salary cap and all that. You have players and you coach 'em and you play. You got to be Raiders."
Q: Is it time to give other quarterbacks a shot other than Carson Palmer?
A: "That's up to the coaches. That's not my decision. I have opinions but I'm not going to speak'em."
Q: Why not?
A: "Because that's not my place. I have plenty of confidence in Carson Palmer."
Q: The players say that they aren't giving up on the season? Your thoughts?
A: "Absolutely. Absolutely. I'm just saying right now I'm a little disappointed with the regression. But, like I say, they'll fight."
Q: How frustrated are you?
A: "I couldn't put it on a 1 to 10 (scale). I'm not happy, I'll put it that way. But why should I be? Why should we be? Why should anyone in this room be? But they'll fight and fix it."
Q: Do you talk to coach Dennis Allen and general manager Reggie McKenzie much during the week?
A: "I talk to Reggie quite a bit, yeah."
Q: About business?
A: "Everything."
Q: Do Reggie and Dennis get a pass this year?
A: "Like I say, I'm patient. I'm patient. But I want to see progress. I don't want to see regression. Nobody does. And that's why I'm unhappy today. But as far as a pass, I wouldn't call it a pass. They've got contracts; they're going to be here."
Q: Did you say you just had surgery?
A: "Yeah, I had back surgery."
Q: What did they do for your back?
A: "It's been a two-year process. I had a sciatic nerve problem, a pain in my ass. And I had surgery five months ago, and it didn't fix it. And, then, so they took pictures again, they found a big cyst-tumor right on the sciatic nerve."
Q: Why didn't they find it the first time?
A: "So I'm feeling a lot better."
Q: So it's all healed?
A: "Well, not totally. January 1 I can start working out. The triplets go away then. I deliver. But again, it's a sad day today. The last three weeks have been sad, but we're going to fight. That's what it is. And we'll see what happens."
Q: Are you involved in choosing people to light the torch?
A: "Yes, I am."
Q: Couple people who your dad had issues with, eh?
A: "Maybe some people thought they were unresolved feelings, but (they are) very close to my mom and myself. And part of the Raider family. And once a Raider, always a Raider. I've had trouble with my dad at times. Once or twice. But it's fantastic. These people are all part of our family, and love 'em. It's a good thing."
Q: Who's next?
A: "Who you think should be? I'm definitely open to suggestions."
Q: Encouraged by fact that fans are still here?
A: "Love it. Absolutely love it, but I apologize to them as well. I'm embarrassed for 'em. Because they live and die as Raiders fans, and I feel for 'em, I really do. And we're going to get it right. If it's for anybody, it's for them."
Q: You heard theboos?
A: "I didn't hear the boos, no. But I can just feel how they feel, because I feel the same way. I'm a fan. And I take responsibility for it, going to get it right."

For Kennedy, pieces start to fall into place
WATERBURY — From an individual standpoint, Kennedy High's Dashaun Abdul-Lateef had a few memorable moments on the football field last season.
Watching the game films of his 80-yard kickoff return for a touchdown against Torrington and his two interceptions vs. Naugatuck, including one that saved a touchdown in the corner of the end zone, those two plays truly stood out.
But Abdul-Lateef, a tri-captain, said they didn't mean as much because the Eagles lost both of those games, two defeats in a disappointing 1-9 season.
Abdul-Lateef, a 2012 All-City offensive selection, and tri-captain Tim LaMadeleine, an All-City defensive selection, are hoping to change that trend this season, beginning Friday night at 6 in the Waterbury Jamboree at Municipal Stadium.
"It all starts with defense," said Abdul-Lateef. "That sets the tone."
But Abdul-Lateef will also play a big role on offense as a running back, along with quarterback Larry Lock, who is in his second year as the starter.
"We had a really good scrimmage (last Saturday) against Coginchaug and Abbott Tech," said Lock. "Our running game was very good, the offensive line was opening up holes, so we all could get into the open field and I was able to complete a couple of long passes and lead the team to some scoring drives. Everything is falling right into place as we get ready for
See KENNEDY, Page 10B
the season."
Lock likes the teamwork being displayed. So does LaMadeleine, a right offensive guard and linebacker.
"There is always room for improvement, but everyone is putting in a good effort," said LaMadeleine. "This year, Dashaun, Ty'zhon Young (the third of the Eagles' tri-captains) and I are committed to keeping everyone motivated. In our scrimmage Saturday, we had a little trouble early on lining up on defense against the different formations. But once we talked about it with our coaches, we were able to fix it quickly. Then we started making stops."
Correcting the problems at a live scrimmage was refreshing and reminiscent of last year's 62-44 win on Thanksgiving over Crosby, according to LaMadeleine.
"We were getting blown out in almost every game, and I gave a couple of halftime speeches to try to motivate the players," recalled LaMadaleine. "Finally, in the two weeks leading up to Thanksgiving, we changed our offense and I complimented my teammates on how well they were able to adjust so quickly.
"We had a really good game. But I remember saying to Jordan Perna (2012 team captain) that we really had to pick up the pace in the second half because Crosby wasn't going to stop playing," added LaMadeleine. "We kept the pressure on them and came out with a win. What a good feeling it was. Coach (Don) Boland said it was the start of our turnaround and we started looking forward to 2013."
Said Abdul-Lateef of the holiday win: "The turkey tasted really good afterward. I remember eating a lot that night because I was in such a good mood. I want that same feeling again. We just have to push ourselves more to make it happen."

If Jahi McMath is in fact at a New Jersey hospital, as one TV news station reported this week, the 13-year-old Oakland girl would be in the "best destination" for a patient declared brain-dead, a medical expert said Thursday.
The move from the Golden State to the Garden State would be a logical one, according to Arthur Caplan, director of the division of medical ethics at New York University's School of Medicine. While California law allows for reasonable accommodations for brain-dead patients to be made -- usually giving time for family to arrive to say goodbye -- New Jersey goes a step further.
It is the only state in the U.S., Caplan said, with a law requiring hospitals to accommodate brain-dead patients who belong to a religion that does not accept the diagnosis as a final verdict for death.
And it appears Jahi's case could be the first to test the law, though it is not clear if it would satisfy it, he said.
"As far as I've been able to tell, no one knows if anyone has ever used it," said Caplan, who has followed Jahi's case and researched the 1991 law. "You'd probably have to show you belong to a church that doesn't accept brain death or a religious group. But all that said, New Jersey ... is the best destination."
Six months after Jahi was declared brain-dead, KPIX reported Wednesday that she is at St. Peter's Children's Hospital in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Successful court battles and crafty negotiating on the part of the family's attorney, Christopher Dolan, allowed the family to take the unusual step of moving Jahi out of UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland, where she had the original surgery to remove her tonsils and other tissue from her nose and mouth.
The teen left the hospital in an ambulance on Jan. 5, and her whereabouts were not made public until Wednesday. Dolan declined to confirm if Jahi is located there, as did a hospital spokesman. In a statement to this newspaper Wednesday evening, Dolan said Jahi's condition has improved since leaving Oakland.
"I have seen much more movement in Jahi, response to her mother's touch and voice and what appears to be movement in response to voice command," Dolan said. "But I am not a doctor and there may be explanations for this dramatic difference in her presentation."
Dolan said the family might ask for a fourth test to determine if she has brain activity. The first three -- including one by an independent physician -- found that Jahi had no brain function.
Wade Smith, director of the neuroscience intensive care unit at UCSF, said it possible for brain-dead patients to have muscle spasms, but not to respond to commands. Smith said he knows of no recorded cases of a brain-dead patient recovering brain function.
"If there is response to stimulation that is not reflexive and that was validated by a neurologist with expertise than I think it's a very important case to document and show the rest of the world," Smith said. "I would be very interested in seeing the results of that evaluation. Short of that, I would be skeptical that the claims are accurate."

LIVINGSTON | The University of West Alabama softball team has been picked to finish third by league coaches in the Gulf South Conference preseason poll, while outfielders Stephanie Shoup and Tamara Vickers, along with first baseman Rebecca Schick, are on the preseason All-GSC team.
Defending national champion Valdosta State was voted by the coaches to win the conference.
Vickers is coming off a 2012 season that earned her first team All-GSC honors. She batted .359 with six doubles, six triples and 18 runs batted in. She stole 26 bases in 28 attempts.
Shoup hit .354 with six homers, 15 doubles, five triples and 38 RBIs in 60 games. Schick batted .309 with 13 home runs, 51 RBI and seven doubles in 60 games.
First baseman/pitcher Ashley Osier, pitcher Sarah Ray and shortstop Michal Robinson made the top newcomers list.
The UWA softball team opens Feb. 9 at Stillman College.

"The day the music died," lamented Don McLean.
Slightly over half the room was filled with sheep. Slightly less than half consisted of people of substance.
The teacher had a hard time tearing his mind away from the fact that Obama had not won a single state that required photo ID in order to vote. Eventually he did, however, and got on with his work.
Grading papers was drudgery with some occasional laughs mixed in. The "done" pile grew large, though, while the "to do" pile, after awhile, had only a few remaining papers, the student's being one of them. Two empty glasses of merlot held sway over their little section of the table.
The student was bored. His world was dominated by button-pushing technology. He didn't really understand how his phones and computers worked. He simply knew how to push buttons and see images without observing them. The television, though, remained powerful in his life. It continually fed him images of pop culture that he often mistook for truth.
The teacher began to read the student's test. Pretty good, he thought. Perhaps the fog of culture can be somewhat dispersed. Ordering one more round, the teacher returned the final exam to the student.
"Incomplete?" the student blurted. "I answered every question."
"I want to see how you do on the practical," the teacher said. "But perhaps an oral section first. Tell me what you learned in our class on the ancient kingdoms of Egypt, Israel, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome?"
"They drank beer and wine a lot."
"They did."
"OK," the student acquiesced. "To me the biggest take away was that they all eventually imploded. It is so easy to see in hindsight, but while their cultures thrived it was as if a fog began to dull their thinking. Their physical appetite consumed their mental dietary regimen. They got weak. They forgot the lessons of history."
"Could anything have stopped it?"
The student thought through half a glass of Stella. "No," he soberly concluded.
The teacher glanced at the television. The election results were all but finished. "A+," he wrote in bold print at the top of the student's test.
"Wow!" the student exclaimed. "That was easy."
"No it wasn't," the teacher lamented. There were so many more to reach. "Now for the practical." He handed the student a blank sheet with Barack Obama's name on it and motioned with his finger to his lips for the student, who had a puzzled expression, to be quiet.
The president walked in and sat down at their table with a huge smile on his face.
"What can I do for you gentlemen? I'm here to help." It came out mostly as one voice, but the student almost thought he heard a second voice as well. Almost.
"Well," the teacher responded before the student could speak, "I have a problem."
The president nodded with compassion. "I'll fix it for you."
"You see," the teacher said and suppressed the impulse to hurl, "The National Football League is very successful. But my team isn't."
"Who's your team?"
The teacher peeled back his jacket to reveal a Cleveland Browns jersey personally autographed by Bernie Kosar. It was his Sunday, and occasionally Monday, pride and joy.
"Ouch." Obama flinched. "I'll tell you what, though. I'm gonna fix things for you, just like I have for so many others. You see, it's not fair for the New England Patriots and the New York Giants to be better than you. Their players are bigger, faster and stronger only because they're more privileged. They didn't build their championships. They have unfair advantages. It simply isn't fair."
He glanced down at his teleprompter. "Yes, it isn't fair that they practice more, eat better, party less, and actually execute. You can't be expected to compete with that. Let me say again, it isn't fair."
Another quick glance down. "Tell you what I'm gonna do." He glanced up and nodded at the sheep on one side of the room, then turned a calm, proud, compassionate gaze to the sheep on the other side of the room. "I'm gonna make it so that any team, especially those Patriots and Giants who score more than 14 points during a game must get punished. We will take every point they earn by their own sweat and blood over 14 points and simply give those points to you. You are entitled to them. You earned them by sleeping in, only practicing sometimes, eating all you want, and watching TV. Yes, we will take from the cheaters and give to those who are entitled."
"In fact," now his voice rose to a new level, "I can see a day when every team will finish eight and eight. Won't that be exciting? It will all, finally, be fair!"
All the sheep bleated in support. The people of substance were appalled.
"And another thing," the president continued, "If the Browns players sustain an injury, those cheating Patriots and Giants have to pay for the Browns' medical care."
Again, all the sheep bleated.
"And finally, the Browns can smoke dope without legal consequences."
"You're going to destroy the NFL," the teacher pointed out the obvious.
"No, you fool, I'm going to perfect it," shouted the president with fists clenched and held high.
The student clearly heard the sibilant, second voice now. He carved an "F" onto his paper and handed it to the teacher.
The teacher smiled.
Obama glared at the paper, realizing what it represented. He looked at the teacher and asked, "We've met before haven't we?"
"Yes," the teacher said quietly but confidently and looked away.
"The three men I admired most," sang Don.

On Snowglobes, xVM and Freedom
By richgreen on Feb 12, 2008
Fresh on the heels of our announcement to acquire MySQL, Sun just revealed our intent to acquire Innotek. Located in Germany, Innotek is staffed with a bunch of very, very smart folks who have developed and released the highly popular open source desktop virtualization product, VirtualBox. With more than 4 million downloads to date, and a slew of great reviews, VirtualBox is setting the V-biz on its collective ear. After all, it's free - as in zero dollars – for developers to learn, understand, enhance and contribute to the ever growing community around the technology. And it smacks of freedom because it's all open source (GPL v2) as well as the cross/multi platform ability it gives to developers.
I'll leave it up to others at Sun, and Innotek to explain the technical details – of Type 1 versus Type 2 hypervisors and the like, but suffice it to say that this announcement dramatically enhances the value chain that Sun's xVM program will offer to the open source community and developers worldwide. Of course, I'm required to say the acquisition hasn't closed yet and its completion is subject to regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions.
As you know, last year at Oracle OpenWorld, Jonathan, Steve Wilson and I announced Sun's xVM program – bringing server virtualization and datacenter automation together in an integrated, multiplatform, open source offering. The program is zipping right along, with xVM Ops Center deployed now at TACC . I'm rather thrilled with the status and the potential for xVM. Free and freedom for the virtualization world.
But the grand plan, inclusive of Innotek, and like most everything we do in software at Sun, has a focus on developers. Innotek and VirtualBox will affect how things look for developers months and years out – in the world of virtualization that has developers as well as datacenters at its core.
If you want to understand where we're going here, think snow globes. Snow globes? Yea, those cute little plastic things that present an entire 'world under glass' to their lucky owners. Much like these little worlds, desktop virtualization is the key to creating a working implementation, on a developer's laptop, that can include much or all of the machinery that resides in the server farm, or the deployment environment. Using desktop virtualization you can construct a world with multiple operating system images, GlassFish, Apache, MySQL, Java, Ruby/Rails and so on, running in multiple virtual partitions on one's laptop. Processes communicating at local bus speeds, debugging across virtual instances. An image in miniature of the server environment – physical or virtual – where all of this machinery will ultimately run. A snow globe. Get it?\*
Of course, here's where the analogy breaks down – for the better. It's not very hard to imagine a collection of tools such as Netbeans, VirtualBox and xVM Server such that the work on the laptop can slide across the network to one or a collection of systems in the server farm or the cloud. Running virtually or physically, with management services built in at the tool level, to aid in the automation provided by xVM Ops Center. If live migration can work across servers, why not from laptop to server, and back?
All rather exciting. It doesn't take a lot of squinting to see that virtualization and virtual appliances, from the desktop, to the server, using powerful tools and management, along with today's open source platforms and scripting capabilities, further accelerate the build-out of dynamic datacenters and the web economy. And another piece of the puzzle, Innotek and VirtualBox, soon to be part of Sun, speeding this all along.
\* Many thanks to Rob Gingell, ex-Sun Chief Engineer and Sun Fellow for the snow globe analogy. Clever as always.

Battling the bulge can be difficult during the holiday season, but it is possibly to treat yourself and stay healthy. (WRDW-TV / Dec. 12, 2011)
News 12 at This Morning / Monday, Dec. 12, 2011
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The weeks leading up to Christmas are the time to reach for brownies and pies.
Darryl Richardson, a parent and fitness trainer, said kids look forward to these sugary treats.
"The cakes and pies, it starts from Halloween," Richardson said.
As a fitness trainer, he knows how too much weight gain can lead to health problems early on in life.
"As they grow up, that's when diabetes, high blood pressure and all that comes from the food we eat," Richardson said.
A study from the University of Cincinnati shows young overweight children are in danger of gaining an unhealthy amount of weight during the holidays.
"You gotta let a kid be a kid, at the same time you have to be parent as well," Richardson added.
Dieticians recommend tricking them.
"Maybe consider alternating your holiday recopies. Find some lower calories ingredients to replace the higher calories ones," said Angie Johnson, a dietician at University Hospital.
Cut back on the sugar and use substitutes like natural sweeteners.
Sunitha Zechariah, the clinical nutritional manager at University, suggested making small brownie bites instead of big squares.
But no matter how much you try to cut back on the calories and sugar in the treats, sometimes parents need to take a stand.
"You have to say no sometimes," Richardson said.
Even though young adults probably have a faster metabolism, over indulging shouldn't be an option.
"It's OK to get a candy bar but get fun size," Zechariah said.
A regular size will get you 270 empty calories.
Next time you or your child reaches for that brownie, just keep in mind a regular-sized portion will run you an hour on the treadmill to burn it all off.
Children should also get some physical activity. Dieticians recommend at least an hour a day.

Eating nuts helps your heart. Discover how walnuts, almonds and other nuts help lower your cholesterol when eaten as part of a balanced diet.
Eating nuts as part of a healthy diet can be good for your heart. Nuts, which contain unsaturated fatty acids and other nutrients, are a great snack food, too. They're inexpensive, easy to store and easy to pack when you're on the go.
The type of nut you eat isn't that important, although some nuts have more heart-healthy nutrients and fats than do others. Walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts — you name it — almost every type of nut has a lot of nutrition packed into a tiny package. If you have heart disease, eating nuts instead of a less healthy snack can help you more easily follow a heart-healthy diet.
People who eat nuts as part of a heart-healthy diet can lower the low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or "bad") cholesterol level in their blood. High LDL is one of the primary causes of heart disease.
Eating nuts may reduce your risk of developing blood clots that can cause a fatal heart attack. Nuts also appear to improve the health of the lining of your arteries.
Besides being packed with protein, most nuts contain at least some of these heart-healthy substances:
As much as 80 percent of a nut is fat. Even though most of this fat is healthy fat, it's still a lot of calories. That's why you should eat nuts in moderation. Ideally, you should use nuts as a substitute for saturated fats, such as those found in meats, eggs and dairy products.
Instead of eating unhealthy saturated fats, try substituting a handful of nuts or a tablespoon or two of a nut spread. The American Heart Association recommends eating four servings of unsalted nuts a week. Select raw or dry-roasted nuts rather than those cooked in oil.
A serving is a small handful (1.5 ounces) of whole nuts or 2 tablespoons of nut butter. But again, do this as part of a heart-healthy diet. Just eating nuts and not cutting back on saturated fats found in many dairy and meat products won't do your heart any good.
Possibly. Most nuts appear to be generally healthy, though some more so than others. Walnuts are one of the best-studied nuts, and it's been shown they contain high amounts of omega-3 fatty acids. Almonds, macadamia nuts, hazelnuts and pecans are other nuts that appear to be quite heart healthy. And peanuts — which are technically not a nut, but a legume, like beans — seem to be relatively healthy.
Keep in mind, you could end up canceling out the heart-healthy benefits of nuts if they're covered with chocolate, sugar or salt.
*The saturated and unsaturated fat contents in each nut may not add up to the total fat content because the fat value may also include some nonfatty acid material, such as sugars or phosphates.
Nut oils are a good source of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E, but they lack the fiber found in whole nuts. Walnut oil is the highest in omega-3s. Nut oils contain saturated as well as unsaturated fats. Consider using nut oils in homemade salad dressing or in cooking. When cooking with nut oils, remember that they respond differently to heat than do vegetable oils. Nut oil, if overheated, can become bitter. Just like with nuts, use nut oil in moderation, as the oils are high in fat and calories.

I put over 400 miles on my Nike Lunarfly 2's....probably about 100 too many, but I LOVED this shoe....I went to my local, highly specialized, running store and talked with them about how much I love the Lunarfly 2 Unfortunately, Nike discontinued the shoe. The staff brought out several for me to try on, and I finally settled on the ZM Elite 6. Big mistake for me. Over the past week and 30 miles, my hips, knees, ankles, calves....can you say entire legs....major pain!!!! When I stand up after sitting for a while, I hobble for the first 10 steps. I am taking 3 days off to recover, and thankfully found a website offering new, old stock, Lunarflies for about 70 bucks including shippining.
There has to be a better way to find shoes and stay in a style and type that work well. I am thinking of buying up every Lunarfly 2 in my size that I can find.
Any thoughts on this hit and miss process of finding the right shoes?
The fact is that running shoe companies are always altering their existing models, starting up new models, and discontinuing older ones. The only reliable solution I have found is to always own two different styles (preferably from two different manufacturers) that fit me well. The two models can have very similar features, but then I always have a good backup option on hand if one of the models is discontinued or changed negatively.
Buying up all the available shoes in your size would work...problem is, only for a limited time. Eventually you will deplete your stock, whether via actual use or via shelf life degradation, and then you're back to square one.

The Zoom Elite 6 appears to have very similar characteristics to the LunarFly 2, so it's not clear why they bothered you so much. OTOH, the LunarFly 2 is at least a 2 year old shoe (2010 vintage), which makes me wonder if you recently increased your mileage. 400 miles over 2 years or so is not a lot and certainly not 30 miles per week. At any rate, reputable running stores will usually take shoes back if they cause as many problems as you've had in such a short time.
Hi Len:
Those are good points. I traded some emails with Nike and their answers are below. Apparently there is are major differences between the two shoe models' construction. I ,too, though the looked a great deal similar in construction at lease form the outside. I have only been running a year. I started using the C25K plan last Feb in an very old pair of Asics that I had in the back of the closet. Nasty shin splits drove me to finding the LunarFlys - I got them at a big Nike outlet. My weekley mileage is 25-30 mile per week now and I am having fun.
Luckily I was still able to find some LunarFly's on the web.
For anyone who cares, here is what a staffmember at Nike wrote me:
"Hello Dean,
There are radical differences between our Nike Zoom Elite 6 and our Nike LunarFly+ 2. The differences are within the Nike technologies incorporated into the making of each shoe.
The Zoom Elite 6 features Nike Zoom cushioning, because this is incredibly thin, it brings the foot closer to the ground and enhances stability, especially during quick cuts and multi-directional movements. After impact, the tightly stretched fibers inside the pressurized air unit quickly bounce back into shape, providing a super-responsive feel and improved awareness of the surface you're playing on. For more information regarding this Nike technology, please visit the link below.
The LunarFly+ 2 features Lunarlon cushioning with dynamic support midsole architecture for a class-leading blend of cushioning and adaptive support. This shoe has a soft, yet resilient foam core encased within a supportive foam carrier for lightweight, ultra-plush cushioning, springy response and support. This innovative foam, invented at Nike and 30 percent lighter than traditional Phylon, allows the force of impact to be more evenly distributed and helps reduce painful pressure points on your foot. For more information regarding this Nike technology, please visit the link below.
Back in LunarFly 2's! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Just like there's a difference between Northern California and Southern California, Georgia is something of a split state. Or so it seems.
A's right fielder Josh Reddick, who grew up in Guyton, Ga., was giving Brandon Moss, who grew up in Loganville, Ga., grief in the clubhouse before the A's first game in Turner Field Friday about how much of a Georgian he was.
Loganville is in the Atlanta suburbs, and to hear Reddick tell it, there are residents of Georgia and residents of Atlanta.
Moss conceded the point.
``Josh is one of those guys who can never imagine living anywhere other than Georgia,'' Moss said. ``Not me. I don't like the humidity and I don't like the bugs.
``I love Georgia, I really do, but I've never lived a summer here the last 14 years. And I'm not sure I could now.''
The A's have another link to the Atlanta area, a place there haven't visited since 2009. Eric O'Flaherty pitched for the Braves from 2009-13 before signing with Oakland as a free agent this winter.
But Reddick and Moss grew up huge Braves fans. Reddick, whose defensive prowess gets him on ESPN highlight shows with regularity, said he first got the spotlight on a senior trip out of high school.
``We were in the front row in left field, and Andy Marte (a Braves' third baseman) hit one I thought I was going to catch,'' Reddick said. ``They were playing the Brewers. I stuck my glove out and just as the ball is coming down, I sensed another glove between me and the ball. Carlos Lee caught the ball.
``That was the top web gem that night. I went home and could tell everybody, `hey, that's me on ESPN' while Lee's catch was shown over and over again.''
``He told me `you're the shortstop,' '' Parrino said.
That doesn't mean that the platoon-heavy A's will go with Parrino seven days a week with Jed Lowrie on the disabled list. But it seems the switch-hitter, who has been up on two previous trips with Oakland this year, will be in the lineup much of the time.
Melvin said the reports on Parrino were that he was playing well of late for the River Cats, where he was hitting .274 with seven homers and 57 RBIs. Parrino is averaging .250 in 12 at-bats for the A's,
``This is a pretty easy place to fit in,'' Parrino said. ``Besides, I think half the lineup has been in Sacramento this year.''
The plan for now is to give Parrino a chance to show what he can do.
Oakland still has a couple of weeks before the next trade deadline comes up, and by that time it's possible that both Nick Punto (hamstring) and/or Lowrie could be back, or close to it. Punto is scheduled to do some light jogging this weekend.
Lowrie originally was going to be sent back to Oakland from Kansas City. But plans changed, and he made the trip to Atlanta with the A's only on the road until Sunday night.
He will take ground balls during workouts, but he won't swing or throw until his fractured right index finger is feeling better.
``I'm optimistic that I'll only need the 15 days (on the disabled list) for it to heal,'' Lowrie said. ``You know me. I'm always optimistic.''
He's scheduled to take some batting practice with the River Cats in Sacramento Saturday.

At SLOW U sessions we talk and taste our way through the good, clean, and fair food revolution that is helping us reclaim the food chain.
The Slur is the Slow Food NYC bi-monthly Happy Hour. It's fun, social, and informal but it's also your opportunity to talk to the leadership of Slow Food NYC and let us know what you think.
We are a completely volunteer run organization—so nothing gets done without the support of people just like you!
