British advertising spend moves online
Blighty is the first major economy where advertising spend on the Internet has overtaken that for TV, according to a new report.
According to figures provided by the Internet Advertising Bureau and auditors PricewaterhouseCoopers, U.K. advertisers spent £1.75 billion ($2.8 billion) on the Internet in the first six months of the year, up 4.6%.
TV, by contrast, took $1.64 billion, down 16.1% on the same period last year.
The IAB had originally predicted that Internet ad spending would outpace TV at the end of the year, but the recession has exacerbated the problems faced by commercial broadcasters like ITV and Five, which have scaled back their workforces and program budgets as ad coin dwindled.
IAB chief exec Guy Phillipson said there was still more growth potential in U.K. Internet advertising.
But the figures were hailed as unfair by Thinkbox, the body that represents U.K. TV advertisers.
The group's marketing director said, "It is interesting but meaningless to sweep all the money being spent on every aspect of online marketing into one big figure and celebrate it."
Paul Richards, media analyst at investment bank Numis, said that following a disastrous year since last September when U.K. TV advertising "fell off a cliff," the market had now stabilized.

RE: [xml-dev] Tim Bray on "Which Technologies Matter?"
To: 'Mike Champion' <mc@-------.--->, xml-dev@-----.---.---
Date: 3/15/2002 10:13:00 PM
And that Tim has considered SGML, a technology and standard that both gave him the greatest minimal victory of his career, and the success some hold dear on this list not to have "mattered", is probably the single most interesting test of his judgement and his standards for judging. If we had to invent XML from scratch, would it have mattered? If HTML had been invented from scratch, would it have succeeded? len From: Mike Champion [mailto:mc@x...] Tim has posted his slides from a presentation at AIIM at http://antarcti.ca/aim/Technology.ppt Even without hearing the talk, the presentation is pretty thought provoking. In a nutshell, Tim looks at some technologies that did matter, and others that (in his opinion) didn't: What Mattered, ?SQL/RDBMS ?Unix/C ?Open Source ?PC Client ?WWW ?Java ?XML What Didn?t ?OODBMS ?4GL ?AI ?VRML ?Interactive TV ?Ada ?SGML He then goes back and rates the technologies that matter, and didn't, on several criteria that might be expected to differentiate them: ?Management support ?Investor support ?Standardization process ?Technical elegance ?Apparent ROI ?80/20 point ?Compelling idea ?Happy programmers ?Good implementations ?Military backing ? There's little obvious differentiation on most of these potential predictors. What DOES differentiate is the 80:20 rule: ?SQL/RDBMS: 7 ?Unix/C: 8 ?Open Source: 5 ?PC Client: 8 ?WWW: 10 ?Java: 7 ?XML: 9 ?OODBMS: 3 ?4GL: 2 ?AI: 2 ?VRML: 0 ?iTV: 2 ?Ada: 0 ?SGML: 0 That is, all the "matters" technologies scored 5 or above (median = 8), and all the "don't matter" technologies scored 3 or below (median = 2) As much as this matches my own preconceptions, I'd be interested in hearing a critique of the categorizations, rankings, and whether looking at a different set of "which technologies matter" leads to a different conclusion. For example, to get the ball rolling, I can think of technologies that "matter" mainly because of the standardization process (the US television standard, and the GSM mobile phone standard come to mind). I could also quibble with the categorization of 4GL as a "didn't matter" standard -- maybe that's because dear old Natural helps pay my salary, but mainly because I think of Visual Basic as *essentially* a 4GL even though it's not exactly what the term meant in 1980. I'd also quibble with the low rating of 4GL on the 80:20 scale -- that's the whole POINT of a 4GL! (Not that this would change Tim's conclusion, but maybe others can come up with quibbles that DO change the conclusion ...)

OGX's $2.6bn 8.5% 2017
Some viewed it as a landmark financing for an issuer that
had yet to generate any cash flows. Others saw it as a brash
new credit going into the bond markets too aggressively and
having to retract its demands after serious investor pushback.
Either way, it is not a transaction to be ignored.

Whether you love 'em, or hate 'em, they're always the decision makers and strategists for our favorite athletes.
With recent news of Lane Kiffin and the Tennessee Titans, I've compiled my most 'villainous coaches or managers' working today.
Whether you love 'em, or hate 'em, they're always the decision makers and strategists for our favorite athletes.
With recent news of Lane Kiffin and the Tennessee Titans, I've compiled my most 'villainous coaches or managers' working today.
Maybe biased as a 76er fan, but he's gritty (in all due respect) and is quite the talker (certified by ESPN, of course).
He's a villain among the rivals I will respect, nonetheless. I foresee a similar punch into the NBA Playoff bracket with the Nets like he showed with the Dallas Mavericks in the 2005-2006 season.
His 868-279 record is quite remarkable, making this program one of the most envied in the country. He's led future NBA stars into the ranks, and has encountered the likes of all hasty ACC fans.
His coaching of Team USA, though, gives him praise on my count.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
For Ozzie Guillen, many of them include bleeps and censors (##ck). He lavishes the attention, but at least he doesn't bull### anyone.
This guy's like Jim Rome with a strategy. Jeesh.
Big wham on Tortorella came in 2009 NHL Playoffs an altercation with several Capitals fans behind the bench led to him throwing a water bottle at a fan before grabbing a stick from Aaron Voros and trying to spear the fan through a space between two panes of glass.
Sweet Lou, what would we do without you?
He's reportedly stepping down for good after 2010 from the Cubs. (Couldn't come at a better time).
To reflect on him as an enemy might be harsh, but he's been the epicenter of much managerial chaos, such as the incident in September 2002 when he kicked his hat several times off a call, aggressively approached Bucknor as he was screaming in his face, and kicked dirt on him.
After being restrained by first base coach Johnny Moses, he then ripped first base from its mooring and threw it down the right field foul line twice after he imitated the umpire tossing him out.
Jets fans rejoice for the next two slides—your current coach has been a media go-getter with questionable comments and decisions in only his first year.
He basically threw in the towel on his players at one point, saying stuff along the lines of "No Super Bowl"—but in a twist of fate, the Jets earned a Wild Card spot in the 2010 playoffs, making it to the AFC Championship Game, losing to the Indianapolis Colts.
At the Pro Bowl in Miami, Ryan flashed an obscene gesture towards heckling Miami Dolphins fans during a Strikeforce mixed martial arts event at Bank Atlantic Center in Sunrise, Florida.
Spygate lingers on from those glory days with the Patriots. His notorious hoody has been bashed by many, too.
New York Jets' fans still won't let him off easy, either, after he accepted their job as Head Coach for a mere 24 hours.
Some call him Nick 'Satan'. Maybe it's the hat.
Saban is notorious for being a grump. But in my experience, even I get bad vibes from him on TV.
His incident with a certain Miami Dolphins' player crying at training camp didn't sit too well. Neither did the part when he declared on December 21, 2006, "I'm not going to be the Alabama coach".
Happy New Year 2007—Saban joins the Crimson Tide. However, Dolphins owner Wayne Hyzinga helped compromise with the decision during the holiday season.
After the 2010 BCS National Title game, his grim look after Gatorade splashed his head still bothered me, and many others. Fortunately for him, he'll be immortalized with his own statue at Bryant Denny Stadium come Fall 2010.
The second flurry of 'liars' comes from Saban's apparent admirer, Lane Kiffin.
He helped groom the powerful offense for the USC Trojans in the middle of the 2000's (although the 2005 team is now defunct from their wins). Kiffin, however, will be most remembered for his run-ins with controversy.
A big circumstance first came by the disgruntled owner of the Oakland Raiders, Al Davis, forcing a letter of resignation upon Kiffin in January 2008. From there, a circus was in town and Davis fired Kiffin over the phone, which led to the ex-coach filing a grievance against the Raiders.
Then came the Urban Meyer recruiting debacle as he was employed by the University of Tennessee in November of 2008. That controversy blew up in Kiffin's face, as he was forced to make a public apology.
To top it off, Pete Carroll's leaving USC in early 2010 meant that Kiffin jumped ship and rejoined his stomping grounds, despite an enraged Tennessee campus.
Every fan hates him (outside of L.A. and Chicago), but every coach envies him. Eleven championship rings, enough for one to go on one of his toes proves that he's the greatest coach this generation has to offer.

FinMin arms fight over tax refunds
The finance ministry is facing an internal conflict over income tax refunds.
The Income-Tax Department has turned down a proposal by the Department of Economic Affairs to go slow on refunds to taxpayers.
The matter has escalated and reached Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee.
DEA has asked the Central Board of Direct Taxes to go slow on tax refunds in the coming months so that the government does not face any resource crunch.

FinMin arms fight over tax refunds
CBDT has rejected Revenue Secretary Sunil Mitra's contention by saying that taxpayer money can't be withheld.
This has alarmed DEA, which is expected to be hard-pressed for funds given the possibility of slower economic growth and an increase in the subsidy bill.
The finance minister is believed to have asked the two to resolve the issue between themselves.

FinMin arms fight over tax refunds
A senior CBDT official said once a refund was determined, especially in e-filing, no one could withhold it.
"Can the government say that refunds will be delayed because it is under financial stress? Will the government allow an assessee to withhold tax because he is facing a financial problem?" asked the official.
DEA's argument that a higher refund outgo will put pressure on the government to borrow more is rejected by experts and expenditure department officials.
They say it's a short-term trend and will not impact government finances over the year.

FinMin arms fight over tax refunds
The government has said it will borrow Rs 2,50,000 crore (Rs 2,500 billion) between April and September, 60 per cent of the budgeted market borrowing of Rs 4,17,000 crore (Rs 4,170 billion) for 2011-12.
So far, it has borrowed Rs 72,000 crore (Rs 720 billion).
While the finance ministry pays 6 per cent a year on late refunds, it has been borrowing from the market at 7.03-8.30 per cent.
The tax department refunded over Rs 23,000 crore (Rs 230 billion) in April.
Click NEXT to read further. . .
FinMin arms fight over tax refunds
The figure is expected to cross Rs 1 lakh crore (Rs 1 trillion) for the year.
The department had refunded Rs 57,000 crore (Rs 570 billion) in 2009-10 and Rs 74,000 crore (Rs 740 billion) in 2010-11.
CBDT official say with a significant amount paid in the first month of the financial year, the burden for the coming months will be substantially lower.

FinMin arms fight over tax refunds
They say timely payments help save on interest.
The government's net direct tax collection in April fell 70 per cent to Rs 4,000 crore (Rs 40 billion), compared with Rs 14,000 crore (Rs 140 billion) in the same month last year.
This was mainly on account of refunds totaling Rs 25,000 crore (Rs 250 billion).
Gross direct tax collections were Rs 29,000 crore (Rs 290 billion), 15 per cent more than in April last year.

Daley Blind is trying to put thoughts of a summer move to Manchester United out of his mind until after the World Cup.
The Dutch full-back has been linked with United, where Netherlands boss Louis van Gaal will take over next month.
The 24-year-old impressed during their 5-1 demolition of World champions Spain, supplying the pass for Robin van Persie's diving header.
But the Ajax full-back is keen to play down speculation linking him with a move to Old Trafford.
Blind said: "All the attention is a very big thing now, but I try not to think about it too much and will keep my feet on the ground.
"The link with Manchester United is easily made because Robin is playing there and Van Gaal takes over next season."

Clash of the Boundaries - Weather Review - April 17, 2010
The image below is a loop of composite reflectivity from 915pm until 1100pm CDT over east central Alabama. The focus with this weather review is the collision of two boundaries. There are many different types of boundaries that can form -- a front (cold, warm or stationary), a sea breeze, an outflow boundary from a thunderstorm or even a boundary caused by a temperature differential. The two boundaries on this day were the sea breeze moving from south to north and a weak cold front that was moving north to south. Many times, a collision of this sort will produce at least a shower or maybe even a thunderstorm. As you can see, this is an example where nothing occurred. (Click to enlarge)
In the study of weather, meteorologists can not limit themselves to why something occurs; you have to try to answer why something does NOT occur, as well. After digging through the upper air soundings for the morning of April 17 (below left) and that evening (below right), the evidence becomes apparent as to why there was no convection along this boundary collision. First, looking at the Skew-T on the left from the morning, this would be the atmospheric conditions in between these boundaries. Clearly, you can see an isothermal layer (layer of temperatures of the same value), which would act as a "cap". Pilots in the area that morning reported the tops of the clouds at about 10K ft, and this is exactly where this isothermal layer is set up. For the Skew-T on the right, which would be the atmospheric conditions along the front (northern boundary), you can plainly see a similar type of "cap". Another component could be the depth of the actual cold front. At approximately 6K ft in depth, the cold front was just not deep enough to reach the Level of Free Convection (LFC), which had this happened, would have aided in the developement of convection. In the same vain, the sea breeze was only approximately 1700 ft in depth. (Click on the Skew-Ts to enlarge).
For an example of when a boundary collision did produce precipitation, click here. Watch for more boundary collision weather reviews as the NWS in Birmingham focuses on summertime convection initiation this summer.

The Right Turns Ezekiel Emanuel Into "Doctor Death"
Alex Koppelman has written a good piece on how Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, healthcare adviser to President Obama and brother of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, has become, for the Right, the poster boy for the supposed push for "death panels" and mandatory euthanasia in healthcare reform legislation, despite the fact that, as Koppelman notes, he "opposes even voluntary euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide":
Like Sarah Palin said last week, if you're old, sick or disabled -- or have a friend or loved one who is -- you should be very wary of Democratic healthcare plans. And, too, you should keep an eye on "the Orwellian thinking of the president's health care advisor, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, the brother of the White House chief of staff." This is, after all, one of the two advisors to President Obama dubbed "deadly doctors" by the New York Post, a man also known as "Doctor Death," who, as conservative blogger Gateway Pundit explained, "supports euthanasia ... [and] believe[s] medical care should be reserved for non-disabled 'participating' members of society."
It's become a growing theme on the right: "Obamacare" will mean mandatory euthanasia for your grandmother in order to save money, and the person who created the ideological underpinnings for that policy is the brother of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.
There's a certain irony to that suggestion. Ezekiel Emanuel, who's currently advising the administration on healthcare reform through a post at the White House Office of Management and Budget, is actually one of the country's leading medical ethicists, a forceful defender of people approaching the end of their life. Indeed, he opposes even voluntary euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide.
Koppelman points out that the false claims about Emanuel's work, recommendations, and beliefs are the result of notorious right-wing healthcare hack Betsy McCaughey's intentionally misleading smears, which have been quickly picked up by the Right and spread as gospel.
Case in point: this new Rick Scarborugh Report from Vision America:
Prov. 13:20 states "He who walks with the wise becomes wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm." The phrase "suffers harm" comes from a word that means "to become evil, to be made worse."
A fool is defined in the Bible as the person who says there is no God. I think we are being fair with Scripture to also include those who redefine who God is and who usurp roles which God has reserved only for Himself, including the choice of who lives and who dies.
It seems that our President has surrounded himself with people who believe they have the wisdom to make decisions which our Founders clearly left in the purview of God.
Dr. Ezekiel Emmanuel, one of Obama's top healthcare advisors and brother of Rahm Emmanuel who is the President's Chief of Staff, co-authored an article earlier this year entitled "Principles for allocation of scarce medical interventions" It outlines four principles:
1. Treating people equally - which suggests a lottery type system, because it is "hard to corrupt." In other words, let's just roll the dice to see who gets treatment first!
2. Prioritarianism - treating the youngest first because "they have had the least life." In other words: Good luck Granny, here's another pill!
3. Utilitarianism -maximizes the most life-years produced
4. Promoting and rewarding social usefulness. - In Ezekiel Emmanuel's own words, and reminiscent of members of the Third Reich: Include only irreplaceable people who have suffered serious losses. God, help us stop this madness!
If Obama's Healthcare Czar implements this system, God help the very old and the very young. Is this what you want? Sarah Palin put into words what millions are thinking: what will happen to me or my loved one if government bureaucrats decide that my/their life isn't worth saving prolonging? Do we really want a government bureaucrat making these decisions?
Of course, if you actually bother to read "Principles for Allocation of Scarce Medical Interventions" [PDF] you immediately see that it focuses on the allocation of "very scarce medical interventions such as organs and vaccines" of which there is very clearly a finite and limited number. It is not talking about limiting healthcare treatment, but rather focuses on how best to allocate finite medical resources.
And even then, the article is primarily an examination of the various ways currently used in deciding the allocation of such resources, looking at the pluses and minuses of the various methods and concludes by offering its own system, which it calls "the complete lives system":
[T]he complete lives system combines four morally relevant principles: youngest-first, prognosis, lottery, and saving the most lives. In pandemic situations, it also allocates scarce interventions to people instrumental in realising these four principles. Importantly, it is not an algorithm, but a framework that expresses widely affirmed values: priority to the worst-off, maximising benefits, and treating people equally. To achieve a just allocation of scarce medical interventions, society must embrace the challenge of implementing a coherent multiprinciple framework rather than relying on simple principles or retreating to the status quo.
In short, not one word of Vision America's explanation of the article Emanuel co-authored is true ... and neither is this claim:
Dr. Emanuel has also said that in order to save money, doctors must "eliminate the Hippocratic Oath, which has been the foundation of medicine for centuries, and give more attention to cost when delete treating patients." He advocates rationing care to worthy patients who "need it most." This man and others who think like him are advising our President!
Take one guess where this quote, attributed to Emanuel, actually comes from.
That's right: Betsy McCaughey.
For what it is worth, Ezra Klein conducted an interview with Sen. Johnny Isakson, a Republican from Georgia who pushed for the inclusion of end-of-life planning in the legislation, and Isakson says that claims that it would lead to "death panels ... where people would be euthanized" are absolutely "nuts."
Klein also points out that Emanuel happens to believe that physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia ought to remain illegal.
But none of that will matter, because right-wing groups don't care about things like facts or reasonable debate ... especially when they can use their lies and distortions to whip up outrage and opposition and, more importantly, use it to raise money:
The time to act is NOW!!! If you believe that God, not Government, should decide who lives and dies, please fax, email and call our Congressmen. You can find contact information at www.Congress.org. We have to attend our Town Hall Meetings and express our outrage at the little value placed on human life in this Orwellian healthcare plan. If we are not motivated to action by this outrage, God help us! The time to act is NOW.
Select here to send a fax to all 535 Congressmen and tell them to vote no on the President's $1.6 trillion takeover of health care. Now is not the time to be silent.
Thank you in advance for your generous support!

All regular full-time tenure-track and tenured faculty of Boston College are eligible for Research Expense Grants.
Amount and Conditions of Awards
The maximum grant during any single award period is $2,000. There are two award periods each academic year Summer/Fall and Winter/Spring. An applicant may apply for funding during each period.
Two or more faculty may collaborate on an application.
Re-application is always possible and failure to gain support in one grant period does not prejudice an applicant's chances for an award in subsequent grant periods. An applicant whose request is rejected must wait until the subsequent award period to reapply.
Funds will not be granted retroactively for research expenses already incurred prior to the application deadline.
Expenditure of Funds
Research Expense Grants funds for both the Winter/Spring and Summer/Fall awards must be expended, and receipts submitted for reimbursement, no later than May 15, 2015.
Application Review Process
The Committee on Research and Publication of the University Research Council will review the applications and make the awards. The Committee will judge applications by the following criteria:
- The promise of quality in the applicant's research project, reflected in the clarity and persuasiveness with which the applicant outlines the proposed research.
- The likelihood that the proposed study will produce significant results, or assist in bringing an existing project of importance to a successful conclusion, or advance preliminary investigations that have potential for later obtaining extramural support.
- The likelihood that the applicant will complete the work proposed.
- The relationship of the proposed project to the applicant's overall research goals.
The Committee's decision on an application will be final. Once the Committee's decisions are made, applications will not be re-opened for reconsideration during any award period.
Applicants should understand that requests for funding always exceed the funds available. Inevitably some proposals will not be supported or funds awarded may be less than the amount requested.

Sir.—A friend recently asked me for a "sidewalk" consultation about her 6-year-old son who had been having episodes of fecal incontinence. As an internist, I knew I had little advice to contribute to this pediatric problem, but nevertheless I listened carefully to the mother's story. The boy had been healthy with no past medical, social, or psychological problems. His toilet training was on schedule, and his bowel habits were normal until 2 months previously. Recently, he had had several episodes of fecal soiling, which occurred only at home during waking hours without diarrhea, pain, bleeding, or itching. In addition to these accidents, he had had several close calls when continence was preserved by sprinting to the bathroom.
The careful watch of a mother's eye soon recognized a pattern—it was Nintendo (Nintendo of America Inc, Redmond, Wash). Every episode of incontinence happened while her son was spellbound by "Super Mario

Talking about outstanding San Francisco Giants prospects is a lot like talking about what presents Santa Claus might bring you next Christmas. What it really comes down to is more a question of existence than potential gifts.
MLB.com recently released its annual list of the top 100 prospects in Major League Baseball and, not surprisingly, there were only two San Francisco Giant minor leaguers on the entire list.
It gets worse. San Francisco grabbed the #86 spot with pitcher Kyle Crick and the #100 spot with outfielder Gary Brown. Thank god it's not a top 85 list.
I have previously described the rusted out pick-up truck up on blocks sitting in the front yard that has been the San Francisco Giants minor league system. And how it got that way. I prefer to think of San Francisco's farm system now as in the process of being finely detailed, repainted, and about to be fitted with a new V-8 engine from the BMW Corporation.
That's because a major story is developing right now in the Giants farm system. It involves four very talented young power pitchers from the South (two from Texas, one from Mississippi, one from South Carolina) who could develop into the team's next pitching dynasty.
So let's check out the San Francisco Giants starting staff and closer spot as they might look on Opening Day April 2016. As I noted in the previous post this group of pitchers features young players drafted and developed by the Giants as part of their retooled minor league template.
There's no doubt reality will be quite different: over the next three years San Francisco will sign some number of free agent pitchers and will make some number of trades. Expect the Giants to also accelerate the development of certain minor league pitchers who are ready to move up. It's intriguing to think about, but it is unlikely these players will ever all be on the same staff together:
Opening Day 2016 – Pitchers
1. Matt Cain RHP
In April 2012 the Giants tore up Matt Cain's existing contract and signed him to a six year $127.5 million extension through 2017. As it stands Cain will be the Opening Day pitcher in 2016. In the Spring of 2017 the media and fans will start to seriously talk about whether San Francisco should re-sign Cain to a new contract.
The $21 million club option the Giants have on Cain in 2018 should be non-consequential– by then that will be bargain basement money for a top MLB starter. Matt Cain's performance in 2016 will likely be a big determining factor in whether he stays with the Giants, gets traded, or is allowed to head to free agency.
Absent an injury, Cain's body type seems like the kind that can carry his stellar career well into his mid-thirties. And Matt Cain will be only be 31 years old on Opening Day 2016.
2. Chris Stratton RHP
San Francisco made Chris Stratton their #1 pick in the 2012 draft (#20 overall). Stratton is an outstanding pitching talent with great potential; in other words, he's the real deal. The Mississippi State star is developing a four pitch menu which includes a 95 MPH fastball to complement his slider, curve, and change-up.
With the Giants likely losing starters Barry Zito and Tim Lincecum after the 2013 season, Stratton may have the chance to be a major contributor as a member of the Giants' starting staff well before Opening Day 2016 comes around.
The Giants' organization is also hoping Stratton will be a distraction for their fans as former #1 draft pick Zack Wheeler becomes a dominant National League starter for the New York Mets in the next few years.
Wheeler, who throws a 98 MPH fastball and is rated #8 in MLB.com's top 100 prospects, was traded by San Francisco to the Mets in 2011 for Carlos Beltran. In April 2016 Chris Stratton will be 25 years old.
3. Madison Bumgarner LHP
Is there a more solid, talented #3 starter in the National League? No– not now, and not in 2016. Bumgarner's 2012 season defines the depth of San Francisco's starting pitching: 191 SO and 49 BB in 208.1 IP; a 1.114 WHIP and 16 wins. He's fearless, tough, and wants to win.
Madison Bumgarner could easily be #2 behind Cain and would be the ace on any number of MLB teams. The beautiful thing about Bumgarner is his incredible level of experience– became a starter for the Giants 2010 at the age of 20 and has been on two World Series Championship teams and won 3 Series games. All by the age of 23. Bumgarner will be 26 on Opening Day 2016.
4. Kyle Crick RHP
In the past year Crick passed up Gary Brown on just about every legitimate Giants' top ten prospects list in North America. Crick is a strapping 6' 4" former Texas high school player with a power fastball and a slider that could develop into a deadly out pitch.
The Giants picked Kyle Crick second in the 2011 draft (after Joe Panik), and #49 overall in the draft. That pick was a gift from the Dodgers as compensation for signing former Giants Juan Uribe as a free agent in 2011. Crick put up some breakout numbers in Single A Augusta last season, including a 128 SO and 75 hits allowed in 111.1 IP.
Much like Chris Stratton, if Crick continues to develop quickly he could get a chance to make the team before the 2016 season. But absent a setback, expect to see the big Texan during introductions at AT&T Park on Opening Day 2016. On that day Crick will be 23 years old.
5. Clayton Blackburn RHP
Blackburn joins Crick and Stratton as the Giants' three Southern power starters currently tearing up the minor leagues. From Amarillo, Texas, Blackburn has a wicked 95 MPH fastball that sinks at the plate and effectively smothers power hitters– he only allowed 3 home runs in 22 starts last season. Blackburn is also working on the usual complementary pitches to round out his resume.
Joining teammate Crick in Single A Augusta in 2012, Blackburn put up some stunning numbers: 8-4, 131.1 IP, 143 SO, and only 18 walks! The 1.020 WHIP says it all. Clayton Blackburn is giving notice that he could become a dominant National League starter in a few years. He's only 20 this year and will be all of 23 in April 2016.
Heath Hembree RHP – Closer
He's been part of the Giants organization since he was drafted in 2010 (5th round) along with Gary Brown. Hembree has 56 saves in three minor league seasons, and was sailing along until he joined Triple A Fresno last season and put up a 4.74 ERA and 20 walks in 38 IP. An elbow injury last season hobbled Hembree, but the 24 year old power pitcher's time to crack the San Francisco bullpen should be at hand in 2013.
It will take time for Giants fans to adjust to the fact that Sergio Romo is not only San Francisco's closer, he's rated as one of the top closers in the game right now. Romo doesn't have that dominating fastball fans have come to expect in a closer, but his 2012 line was simply extraordinary: 55.1 IP, 0.849 WHIP, 63 SO, 10 BB, 37 hits, 1.79 ERA, 14 saves. And he only became the closer in August.
Romo also had 4 saves and a win in the 2012 postseason, including 3 saves in the World Series sweep against Detroit. In the entire postseason he gave up 1 run, 4 hits and 1 BB in 10.2 IP with 9 SO and a 0.469 WHIP. Hello.
Hembree could be worked into the bullpen easily over the next two years and end up being that power closer big league clubs and fans traditionally look for; but if he's going to be San Francisco's Opening Day 2016 closer Heath Hembree's 2013 season will be a critical test.

It's official; Google has done it again with some major changes going through to the algorithms (the factors that decide how you're site should be found on the search engine results). This time they're targeting sites that have been "spamming" or trying to manipulate the search results through "link schemes" and "over optimization".
Search Placement Blog | The Latest in SEO News & Social Media
As mentioned in our previous blog post; the "semantic search" algorithm update is being pushed live by Google some time in the spring of 2012. This penalizes sites that have keyword overstuffing and will most likely be looking more closely at just how much content a given site has for a particular niche.
The biggest changes in 2012 for the search engines have to do with over optimization of keywords and lack of quality relevant content for your niche.
Basically, this is the most important thing YOU can do for your websites Internet success.
You can see these topics in the news here;
1. Search Engine Land from March 16th 2012.
Google is pushing live yet another game changing update in the coming weeks, according to Matt Cutts (head engineer at Google Search). This update to the famous "Googlebot"will penalize sites that "over-optimize" for prime Google results.
Blogging is a big part of the internet these days and search engines love them because they provide original, very creative, and updated content that contribute to highly ranked sites on the web. Figuring out how to optimize the blogs you write for search engines and how to incorporate them in your Ecommerce site is the most important thing you need to do to make sure your website stands out in the crowd.
Having an Ecommerce website is essential to all business's that wish to sell to consumers all around the world, around the clock, no matter where a buyer lives. Ecommerce is another word for electronic commerce and is the process used to distribute, buy, sell, or market goods and services, and the transfer of funds online through electronic communications or networks. Features of an Ecommerce site include a shopping cart, a way to process credit cards, an online product catalog, databases, automated inventory system, and much more! There are several benefits to selling on an Ecommerce business website and we will be discussing a few of them in the following paragraphs.

This is a continuation of patent application Ser. No. 10/061,180 filed Feb. 1, 2002 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,920,496 which is a continuation of prior patent application Ser. No. 09/079,559 filed May 15, 1998, now issued as U.S. Pat. No. 6,397,250.
The present invention relates to user access systems and service provider host systems for data and service networks, particularly but not exclusively for use with the Internet/World Wide Web, and to means for initiating communications with a user when on-line.
Recent years have seen a rapid increase in the amount of data available to a user via data network coupling to remote server, with cheap browser packages for home personal computer (PC) users and dedicated (and cheaper) access mechanisms such as WebTV greatly increasing the number of people on-line. A number of examples of network access and server systems, whether for the Internet or on a smaller local area network (LAN), are described in the introduction to EP-A-0 732 660 (Kambayashi et al/Toshiba) which relates to a mechanism for providing a degree of personalisation in service provision.
In the system described, a number of client systems (for example home users) are enabled to access, via network, data stored by a server. Each of these users is registered with the server having provided to it certain personal details such as an e-mail address and/or telephone number and optionally also a photograph. In operation, when a user is accessing a particular store or field of data held by the server, the server provides to the user a list of those other users concurrently accessing the data, perhaps providing an on-screen display of the photographs of those registered users.
As the number of people using networks such as the Internet continues to grow, so the extended use of individual telephone lines will create more problems. If a person is on-line then others cannot call them and even other on-line users cannot communicate in an immediate way using the Internet unless both parties go to a dedicated "chat space"—a host environment where messages may be exchanged. E-mail has been found to have problems with reliability and speed and, in view of the increasing volumes of electronic "junk mail" users are receiving, there is no guarantee that a message will be read once received.
The main difficulty with communication between two or more concurrently on-line users on such as the Internet is that if they make use of a dial-up connection then their Internet Protocol (IP) address—the numeric address that addresses each packet—will be different each time they connect. Specially written or modified chat software will not be able to handle the establishing of a link as one on-line person does not know the IP address of another for dial-up accounts on many Internet service providers.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a means by which on-line users may be alerted to someone attempting to contact them.
In accordance with a first aspect of the present invention there is provided a network communications system comprising a plurality of user stations, each comprising respective processing and display means, and a plurality of service provider host systems coupled via a data network, wherein at least some of the user stations are registered as client stations with a first service provider host system, said host system including storage means maintaining a database of registered client station identification data; characterised in that each client station is configured to periodically identify to said host system, via the data network, when it is on-line; said host system is arranged to maintain an indication of those client stations on-line and includes means for, on receipt of data identifying a client station and additional data specifying a message, formatting a paging message and transmitting it via the network to the identified client station; each client station being configured to, on receipt of a paging message via the data network, generate an on-screen indication of receipt to the user and, in response to a predetermined command of the user, repeat the message.
By the provision of a service provider host system maintaining a list of those users currently on-line, a base location is effectively provided from which messages may be sent to the user (whose IP address would otherwise be unknown). Not only is this of benefit to the third party trying to contact an on-line user, but also to the users themselves who might otherwise worry about the length of time for which their telephone or other on-line connection is engaged.
On registration of a new client station, the host system may be arranged to generate a digital password (and optionally also a UserID), transmit the password to the new client station via the data network, and store the password with details of the new client station within the database. With such an arrangement, the periodic identification sent by a client station to the host system could suitably include an identifier for that client system and/or the password assigned by the host system. Making use of the periodic messages, the host system may suitably comprise timing means for maintaining in the directory an indication of when last each on-line client station contacted the server. With such timing means, the host may further comprise means coupled with the directory and operable to remove therefrom those client stations that do not contact the server within a predetermined period.
At the client system, which may comprise a suitably configured data network browser, the arrival of a paging message may be indicated to the user by display of an on-screen icon or message. To give a degree of flexibility to the user, user-operable selection means may be provided coupled with menu generation means arranged to generate a display of available icons from which the user may select one to be used by the browser to indicate the receipt of a message.
The client station is preferably configured to display the message in user-readable form in response to a predetermined command of the user, which command might be typed in via a users keyboard or simply a point and select operation on the displayed icon. To provide feedback to the originator of a received message, a client station may include means operable to send via the data network an acknowledge signal in response to a further user command and following receipt of a message to be acknowledged. This acknowledgment may be sent automatically when the user calls up the received message to view, or it may require a specific command of the user.
In an alternative to displaying the text of paging messages, the host system may include means operable to digitise audio data segments and transmit the same as part of a paging message, with one or more of the client stations then including means arranged to recreate the audio segments and play the same to a user in response to the a predetermined command or operation of the user.
The present invention also provides a data network browser configured as a user station, and a network server for use as service provider host system, for the above-described network communications system and as defined the claims attached hereto, to which the readers attention is now directed.
Further features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from reading of the following description of preferred embodiments of the present invention, given by way of example only and with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
A first exemplary system configuration is illustrated in
In order to overcome the problem of a users telephone line being engaged for long periods of time, one of the servers 16 provides an on-line paging facility whereby registered clients of the facility are alerted when on-line (for example whilst logged on to a different server 14) to someone wishing to contact them via their single telephone line.
A typical client system, in the form of a personal computer (PC) hosting the client end of the paging facility, is shown in
A suitable architecture for the server of the host system providing the paging facility is illustrated schematically in
The second storage means 76, accessed via the bus 64, has a relatively smaller capacity than the database store 72 but much faster read/write cycle times: this second store 76 holds a directory of which of the registered clients of the system are on-line at any given time, based on periodic update messages received from each client. The update periodicity is standardised for the system as a whole, for example to once per minute: the store 76 includes an indication of the time that the last update was received from each client, and the control stage 66 is arranged to delete from the directory those entries for which an update has not been received for two or three minutes.
The procedure effected by the host server system of
Once a remote access has been detected at step 401, the next procedure is to determine (at step 402) whether the accessing station is an existing client of the system or whether it is a new user to be registered. If the accessing station does not provide a recognised ID and password within the access message, it is assumed to be a new client and the procedure passes to step 403 in which one or more data screens calling for information from the new user are sent to the accessing station. The required information will include the telephone number from which they are calling (and which is hence engaged at the time) together with an E-mail address and optionally credit card details if the service is not free.
At step 404 a check is made to see whether a response has been received to the sending of the data screens. If data has been received, the procedure moves to a validity check at step 405; if not, a countdown timer associated with the access procedure is checked (step 406) to see whether it has expired. If the countdown timer at step 406 has not expired, the system reverts to step 404 (optionally following a short delay) to again check for a response; if the timer has expired, the accessing procedure is terminated and the system reverts to its housekeeping procedures before returning to step 401 to check for a new access.
The validity check on the received data (step 405) might simply comprise a count of the number of digits in a telephone or credit card number or may be more detailed and rigorous. If it shows there to be an error in the received data, an error message will be generated and sent to the caller (step 407) following which the procedure moves back to the countdown timer check at step 406: if the timer has not expired, the new user will have a chance to resend the data, otherwise the process terminates as before:
Having established at step 405 that the received data from the new user is valid, a user ID and password are generated at step 408 and E-mailed to the user: it is the presence or absence of this ID and password at step 402 which determines whether the accessing user is recognised as an existing (registered) client or whether they are treated as a new customer. Following sending of the ID and password, the new client details are loaded up in the hosts client database (72;
Returning briefly to step 402, if this determines that the accessing caller is an existing client (with details recorded in the database), the procedure moves to step 411 which checks whether or not they are currently in the directory, which is to say whether they are currently listed as on-line or whether they have just come on-line. If they are not already listed, the procedure moves to step 410 where they are added to the directory. If they are already listed at step 411, or following listing at step 410, or following expiry of the countdown timer at step 406, the procedure moves on to the housekeeping operations of steps 412 and 413.
At step 412, the directory entries are checked with reference to their respective last contact with the host: if this exceeds a predetermined period such as three minutes, the client is taken to be off-line and their entry removed from the directory. At step 413, the time entries for the remaining client identifiers in the directory are incremented. If the procedure is run at a fixed frequency, a variable wait may be introduced at step 414 before the procedure reverts to 401 to again check for user access.
The procedure for handling the generation and sending of paging messages by the service provider host system will now be described with reference to the flowchart of
From receipt of the request to send, the next check (step 502) is whether the identified client is listed in the directory, that is to say whether it is currently on-line. If step 502 is negative, the host generates and sends (step 503) an error message appropriate to the channel by which the request was received, following which the procedure terminates at step 504. If the check of step 502 shows the identified client to be listed as on-line, the host system will then request the caller to specify the message they wish forwarded at step 505.
Having requested the message from the caller, the system enters a waiting loop comprising a check for receipt of a message (step 506), a check as to whether a countdown clock associated with the request has expired (step 507) and a short wait (step 508) before repeating the check of step 506. If the countdown timer at step 507 expires before a message is received, the procedure diverts to step 503, namely the generation of an error message (not necessarily the same as that following failure at step 502) followed by termination of the procedure.
Once a message has been detected as received by step 506, the host system will format it (step 509) according to the communications channel to be used and with reference to any constraints or particular settings of the clients system logged with the client data in the database, then send it to the identified client, at step 510. If the client system supports an acknowledgment protocol for the paging messages, the procedure will continue at step 511 (waiting for receipt of the acknowledgement), otherwise it will proceed directly to step 504 (termination). The wait state at step 511 is part of a further wait loop, also including a check for receipt of the acknowledgement from the client at step 512 and a countdown timer at 513 limiting the maximum time the system will wait for a response. Depending on whether or not an acknowledgement is received within the time set, the system will respond to the caller with a report of either the success (step 514) or failure (step 515) of the acknowledge, before the procedure terminates at step 504.
The form of the icon 100 and whether or not it flashes to attract a users attention, and the arrangement of the text window 102 are suitably provided as set-up choices to the user, with the source of the pager message handling software suitably also including menus of display options to accompany the operation.
An alternative screen display is illustrated in
From reading the present disclosure, other modifications will be apparent to persons skilled in the art. Such modifications, whilst remaining within the scope of the following claims, may involve other features which are already known in the design, manufacture and use of data transmission and presentation systems, display apparatuses and component parts thereof and which may be used instead of or in addition to features already described herein. Some of these modifications or variations are illustrated in
An alternative and automated arrangement requires the caller to have a touch tone telephone: after dialling up a connection to the server 16, the user then enters their own telephone number and the number they are trying to contact (the number of client 10). The server compares the requested number against the current directory of on-line clients and, if there is a match, sends a paging message such as "Telephone No. 0123 456 789 Called". In a further alternative arrangement, the server records short (10-20 second) voice mail messages from the caller.
Although claims have been formulated in this application to particular combinations of features, it should be understood that the scope of the disclosure of the present invention also includes any novel feature or any novel combination of features disclosed herein either explicitly or implicitly or any generalisation thereof, whether or not it relates to the same invention as presently claimed in any claim and whether or not it mitigates any or all of the same the technical problems as does the present invention. The applicants hereby give notice that new claims may be formulated to such features and/or combinations of features during the prosecution of the present application or of any further application derived therefrom.

Right Where They Want Them
A sweep at home was a reach for the Angels. The Chicago White Sox put together the best road record in the major leagues this season, so if there was any surprise that they took one of the three games in Anaheim this weekend, it is that the one win came against the Angels' best remaining starter, John Lackey. Tonight's contest sees the Angels facing an old nemesis, Freddy Garcia, who has a career mark of 11-3 against the Halos, including a 6-1 record in Anaheim.
Los Angeles will send Ervin Santana to the hill in a situation that has become something of a weekly event for the rookie right-hander-- pitching the biggest game of his young career. Santana, who went 5-2 with a 4.06 ERA over the last month of the regular season, has compiled a 9-3 record at home, including a shutout of the White Sox way back in May, limiting opponents to a .233 batting average over 14 starts at Angels Stadium.
If this game were being played on the road, there would be good reason to be nervous, but I have a feeling that Santana will come up with a big game today-- seven innings, two runs or less-- before handing it off to the bullpen. The bigger question of where the Angels are going to find some offense might come from making minor adjustments, like starting José Molina, 7 for 15 against Garcia in his career and the Angels' best defensive catcher, and using Bengie Molina as the DH.
Mike Scioscia might also consider starting Jeff DaVanon in centerfield to give the Angels a hitter who has a more patient approach at the plate. But my hunch tells me that Vladimir Guerrero will finally make his presence felt in the postseason, and Santana's performance will energize the Angels to a win tonight and a big shift in the momentum of this series.

The so-called kangaroo route from London to Australia will hop through Dubai rather than Singapore next year after Qantas severed ties with British Airways in favour of a partnership with Emirates.
