The Dead-ball era returned to Major League Baseball tonight as the Giants defeated the Phillies, 1-0, in a classic 11-inning pitcher's duel.
The Pitching
-This meeting was the first between the Matt Cain and Cliff Lee, and they made it count. It was the type of game that had fans who love pitching and defense salivating and fans who crave offense yawning.
Both Cain and Lee were as good as advertised, as they combined for nineteen scoreless innings, Cain posting nine, Lee posting ten. Even more impressive, the two of them combined for just one walk (which was also the only three-ball count either pitcher ran the entire game) and 11 strikeouts. Five times one of them threw less than 10 pitches in an inning.
The Phillies unfortunately squandered another superb outing by their starting pitcher.
The Lineup
– This is a lineup that just can't get anything going right now. Over their first 12 games, they've averaged 2.9 runs. They have yet to score three or more runs in back-to-back games, and have topped five runs just three times. Many have pointed to their lack of patience as a team — they're last in the majors in walks — but on Wednesday Cain gave them no choice but to swing early. Unfortunately, the bats were flat-out overmatched.
– Wednesday marks the second time the Phillies have been shutout already in 2012. They were shutout just seven times the entire 2011 season.
– Leftfield continues to be a revolving door for the Phillies as Juan Pierre got the start after it went to John Mayberry Jr. on Tuesday. Both of them have each started six games in left this season, and neither one has shown any sign of taking control of the position. While Pierre has outperformed Mayberry, he hasn't been good enough to be handed the everyday job yet. Pierre's .300 batting average is solid, however, his OBP continues to remain the same as his average. He went 0-for-4, failing to reach base.
The Defense
– Galvis's glove is more than enough to warrant keeping him in the lineup. He turned two of team's four double plays, including a tough play in the tenth inning with Buster Posey bearing down on him. He made a second fantastic play in the tenth, fielding a ball to his right, and beating Nate Schierholtz in a footrace to first to end the inning after Laynce Nix was caught out of position and Lee was slow to cover the bag. When you've got a team that is struggling to score runs the way the Phillies are, you rely on your defense and pitching to win ballgames, and Galvis is head-and-shoulders above any other option the team currently has for 2B.
Managing Blunders
There was a peculiar managing decision in the 11th when Manuel elected to pinch hit Jim Thome for Cliff Lee with Ruiz on third and one out. The decision to hit for Lee there isn't completely unheard of — you're in a tight game and as a manager you have to take a shot at scoring a late run when you have the chance.
What made the move was questionable is what Manuel did when Bruce Bochy opted to go to the left-handed Javier Lopez. With Mayberry and Polanco on the bench, Manuel chose to stick with Thome, who promptly struck out. Then Manuel chose to pinch hit for Pierre, who hits .305 against lefties for his career, with Mayberry. The Giants brought in the right-handed Clay Hensley, who retired Mayberry and ended the inning. The Giants would score the winning run in the bottom half of the frame. In tight games, every move is magnified, and the Phillies can't afford to have Manuel make questionable moves like this.
Game Notes
-This was a frustrating game to watch, mainly because it was so reminiscent of game five of the NLDS last year. Lee pitched valiantly and deserved the victory, but again his offense failed to get the job done.
-The loss drops the Phillies to last place in the NL East for the first time since April 2007.
-The Phils now set their sights on San Diego for a four game set. They've had a ton of success at Petco Park in recent years, and it may be just what they need to wake the bats up.

Let's face the facts, Charlie Manuel is overmatched trying to play small ball. He is a poor in-game general. And our offense really stinks out loud. We are so bad right now. I really wish I could be optimistic.
hey bart he's not overmatched! he's playing the smallest ball you can! he netted 0 runs last night. it don't get any smaller than that!
Thanks PN for calling this game correctly and putting the blame where it deserves to be. The Phils now are in sole possession of last place in the NL EAST. I wish I could be optimistic, I really do.
Just FYI, the last time the Phils were in sole possession of last place in the NL East was April of 2007. If you recall, they won the division that season. Relax….at least for now.
And if you recall we had to have a miracle of a come back against the Mets just in order to do it. Fat chance of that happening again, especially with this putrid offense.
Oh and the Mets also had to completely collapse in order for us to catch up. Really, don't bank on what happened in 2007 in order for us to get to the post-season happening again, that's just homerism.
Nosh, step back from the ledge. It's going to be ok.
The offense was awful last season too, right up until the point where the injured star second baseman returned to the lineup. After that point they had the best offense in the league.
Not only are the Phillies expecting their star second baseman to rejoin the team again, but they're also going to expect their star slugging 1B to return as well. They'll be fine, and with this pitching staff, they'll be ok treading water until those guys come back. It's not every day you have to face guys like Matt Cain. He's kind of not bad at what he does, you know?
I also recall that in 2007 the Phillies has a 27 year old Ryan Howard, a 28 year old Chase Utley, a 28 year old Jimmy Rollins, a 26 year old Shane Victorino, a 30 HR Pat Burrell, and an emerging Jayson Werth. The 2012 lineup has a collection of players who are mostly at the end of their careers. It's a totally different situation five years later.
Jeff, I still think this team is better than the 2007 team. Certainly with Utley and Howard, but even without them.
The 2007 team had a great offense, but they also allowed over 5 runs per game.
eric my man i'm feeling silly today! i'm so relaxed watching these guys i'm almost in a coma! like their bats.
Two titans of baseball stood on that mound tonight in SF and engaged in one of the most epic pitching duels I've ever seen. One is one of the best righthanders in baseball, the other is the best lefthander in baseball. They were in total control, pitching so fast I thought they each had a plane to catch, and with a combined economy of pitches that I don't know I've ever seen in 9 innings. Yeah this game was epic, but i wanna win the epic games I'm gonna always remember. It def hurts to lose this one.
Taking a few days hiatus this team is frustrating to watch. Bringing Jim in to pinch hit probably wasnt the best idea. I can see Chollys gut telling him maybe Jim will hit a deep fly. Cholly is still managing based on what his gut is telling him and his luck has/is running out. Im not blaming the bullpen here but i said if it goes to the bullpen we gonna lose this one. Those wishing for Ty to get a start at 3d (rightfully so) saw the other end of the spectrum. A choice between the proverbial rock and hard place. A poor defender with a average bat or a good defender thats struggling with the bat. A beautiful pitched game for Lee with no result.
Lets hope that recapping the great moments and efforts before the loss is not the new version of the highlight reel..
barry i tell my two boys, when you have to start counting moral victories it means you stink! the way lee pitched last night was a big moral victory! uh oh!
How long do we wait to maybe bring up Dominic Brown and give him some starts in left? No one else can handle the job so I think at some point earlier in this season unless some one gets going, he deserves a chance.
I don't blame Charlie leaving in Thome in. Depending on Mayberry or Polanco at this point is equally dicey. The real blunder, imo, was leaving Bastardo in. He's no longer a full-inning guy.
bastardo wasn't the problem. any third baseman worth his salt makes that play and we go to the 12th
The inning could of have been over if Ty wouldnt had fumbled, or at least had the 2nd out.
"Bastardo did his job and got a double-play ball," Wigginton said.
Manuel said he considered replacing Wigginton with Polanco an inning earlier because Polanco is superior defensively, but he said he stayed with Wigginton because "he's a strong guy and he might hit a double."
The Nats/Meta aren't this good… The Phillies aren't this bad… I'd love for them to be undefeated right now, but early in the season, without their 3-4 hitters.. It's not even close to time to hit the panic button yet. If they lose their next 7 on this road trip, them i'll worry
The ball to Wiggington was hit hard. Guys are laying off Bastardo's slider, and his fastball is very hittable…
STOP! Telling us that everything is going to be OK. When you look at the last four hitters in our lineup last night you will see that nary a one deserves a starting job in the major leagues. That said, I would be OK if these were a different four guys who were good but just slumping. That is not the case.
To me, Eric, you "don't worry" when you have quality players performing poorly. Hey, everybody slumps…….sometimes (insert REM song here). All you can do is just sit and wait for them to hit their way out of it. But these are shitty, yes shitty, players who are playing to par. And these players are not gonna change anytime soon. We are stuck with them.
And there is very little I can think of, even in my most creative of moments, that Ruben can do.
The Dipsy
"But these are shitty, yes shitty, players who are playing to par."
Disagree, Dipsy.
Out of 10 players getting substantial playing time…
2 are at or somewhat above their recent averages:
– Pence (.880 OPS), and Ruiz (.813)
2 are a little below but we probably shouldn't expect any more from them:
– Pierre (.600), and Wigginton (.710)
6 are significantly below their recent averages:
– Rollins (.620), Polanco (.425), Vic (.695), Mayberry (.454), Nix (.590), Thome (.237)
MOST (probably not all) of these 6 should improve.
When they put Bastardo in my son and I both said at the same time – "there goes the game". I'm sorry I'm sure he would make a good neighbor and is a nice guy but he is horrible!!!! Took him three batters to ruin it for Lee.
Bastardo ruined it for Lee? Hmmm…what game were you watching?
You realize he got the DP ball only to be botched by our 3rd baseman, Wigginton… With Polanco there you would've had a rally-killing double play that would've kept us in the game. Whether we win it or not in the latter innings, I don't know.. but we would've had a CHANCE to do it.
Regardless what happened last night, the Phils need to put a fresh look on for tonight and forget about the gem that was lost. That is truly incredible. Worley is on the mound tonight and we have had some pretty good success against the Pads in Petco.
I thought the lineup last night was bound to make things happen. Our key players are not responding when it counts, leaving runners stranded has become expected for this team and its quite different when you think back to all of our success over the past 6 years – how many comebacks did we enjoy? Hey, look at the Giants too – first and third, nobody out in the first inning and they come away with nothing… how frustrating.
We've seen Vic, Jimmy, Gentleman Jim, Chooch even Poly hit the ball when men are on base – not so far this year. What is missing?
Their average with RISP is 9th, at .229. League average with RISP is .237.
Last year their average with RISP was .269, 2nd in the NL ,and 16 points over their overall average of .253.
TERRIBLE MOVE by Charlie by letting Thome bat against a lefty with 1 out and a guy on 3rd. Thome is a boom or bust guy and against a lefty it'll more likely be bust. You need someone who would put the ball in play to score that run. That was the ballgame right there… anyone could see that after 20 zeros were put up on the board. The minute he left Thome in you could tell a K was coming…
You have Polanco and Mayberry on the bench… USE THEM. Waste Thome, whatever. It's not like he's hitting the ball well lately.
Horrible move by Charlie… more likely than not, it cost us the game… and wasted a brilliant effort by Lee. 10 shutout innings and loss… smh.
Let me speak (write) more precisely. Nix, Wigginton, Galvis have no business being starting players in the majors. I should have left out Ruiz. Ruiz, of course, is fine. Every night, you are gonna be running out a couple of players that shouldn't be starting players in baseball. Now that may be OK when the rest of your lineup is filled with good players, but ours is not. When Pence, Vic, and Rollins are your three best offensive players – you have huge problems with your offense.
The Dipsy
We had what… 4 hits.. 1 of them from Galvis. So yea, I don't think he's the reason our offense sucks right now. He saves runs (and lots of them) with his glove, which is just as good as creating runs with his bat.
here's a depressing stat. rollins out of the 3 hole is on a pace for about 30 + ? rbi. oh my god can you spell TROUBLE
and Dipsy, you do realize that the intended lineup has NONE of those three guys as "starting players in the majors" … they are bench players, filling-in for injured players.
It's two weeks into the season, we're without our 3 and 4 hitters.. and everyone seems to ready to abondon ship !??
Rollins was dead-on when he pegged this fan base as front runners a few years ago…. Do I think the Phillies are going to win the World Series this year? No…
But if I was only interested in following a baseball team because of their number of championships, i'd sure as hell pick a different team than my hometown squad. I have faith that they'll play hard and make the playoffs, and take their chances from there …it's April 19th and people are acting like the season is over because we didn't score runs of Madison Bumgarner and Matt Cain
Nicely put.
The only thing I would say differently, and I realize we could debate this forever, is that if they make it to the playoffs, and especially if they win the division, they have as good a shot as anyone to win the WS (maybe even better with their front 3).
TERRIBLE MOVE by Charlie by letting Thome bat against a lefty with 1 out and a guy on 3rd. Oh and having Wigginton at 3rd cost us dearly too… a little FYI to the Polanco bashers.
Having Wigginton at 3rd cost us dearly too… a little FYI to the Polanco bashers.
Scoring a grand total of zero runs in 11 innings cost them more.
the smallest of small ball lol
Front runners? Am I a "front runner" when I point out that our lineup is terrible. Don you are right that these guys are intended bench players but they have since morphed into "guys that are gonna be playing a lot all year" players. The Phils should have had more foresight on this Utley thing so they could have done something about it.
I don't think Utley is coming back. I don't think Howard is going to make a meaningful contribution this year.
"Front runner". When I'm at the bar complaining that my wife can't cook and the house is always dirty that doesn't mean I don't love my wife. I am disheartened by the state of the team and I don't see anything changing soon. If I'm a front runner for feeling it and saying it, while I watch all the games and write all my posts, then so be it.
The Dipsy
That's the standard retort around here Dipsy. If you don't believe everything with the team is just fine and dandy, you'll be accused of being a "front runner" or not being a "true fan". You can make a totally accurate and logical statement, but if it somehow suggests all is not perfect in Phillie land you'll be accused of not being a fan.
For the record, I've been following the team since the early 70's through good and bad. I go to games whether the team is in last place or first place and I'll continue to do so. I've said all winter long that this offense would be a huge problem, so I must be a front runner also.
its also rather standard for fans to freak out and fail to realize that a team playing with "replacement level players" in their starting lineup ….is a team that's going to struggle against Bumgarner, Cain, etc . . .
The people bringing doom & gloom to the table right now …. have every right to be called out by the people saying to hang in there until Utley and Howard get back. Everyone is acting like the world is over and they're ready to hand the NL East crown to someone else …….. it's April 19th folks, lots of baseball left to be played, and WAY TOO EARLY to be complaning 24/7 like many people do on here
Notice I did not say, "YOU, THE DIPSY, are a front runner" ……. it was meant to grab attention to the fact that there is something between THE PHILLIES ARE AMAZING (2008, 2009, 2010, 2011) … and THE PHILLIES SUCK (the current fan-gauge readin in 2012) . .
I agree that Nix, Wigginton, Galvis should not be starters . . . I've pointed out many times that I blame Chase Utley for not keeping the team and team doctors in the loop —Why hasn't he been seeing "specialists" for two years now ? … But also, outside of having a second Starting-second basemen …. the lose of your intended starter is going to hurt. . .. Same goes with Howard – they had a lot more time to plan around that injury – and so they brought in multiple guys who could play that position (Thome, Nix, Wigginton,….plus Mayberry), and while you can't replace Howard's bat – the plan to attempt a platoon situation at 1b, with Mayberry/Wigginton and Nix/Thome … was a pretty good plan, I think.
The biggest point I'm trying to make is that …. we all know that the Phillies lineup is terrible right now …..and people aren't "front runners" for pointing that out, they are "front runners" for crying, complaining, and sulking about it … and instead of bashing the names on the back of the jerseys – just pull for the name on the front of it!
I'm pretty sure, you, The Dispy, have been on this site at least as long as I have – which is going on like 6 years now ………clearly, i'm not peggin YOU as a front runner ………but the "new" Phillies fans … the ones that used to do the E-A-G-L-E-S chants, and don't pay attention to the games when they're in the stadium – are usually the ones that complain the loudest ……and I'm sick of it. Support your team Win or Lose – that's what real fans do …..and a slow start makes them stick out like sore thumbs
When I saw the botched play by Wigginton I immediately thought of that thread the other day when we were debating Polanco and whether he needed a rest or whatever. Granted, Polly most likely would have made that play and the game would have advanced at least another inning. But putting Wigginton into the line up wasn't the worst thing to do – Polanco is struggling and Charlie has to find some offense somewhere. Trouble is…..they ran into a VERY EFFECTIVE Matt Cain.
The Thome move?? Ehhh….I get why Charlie left him in – he probably thought Thome had the best shot for a fly ball. I probably would have countered with Mayberry and left Pierre to bat against the lefty. But the move doesn't really piss me off to the point where I want Charlie fired over it.
I am displeased by the offense, but not surprised by it. You just can't remove 200 RBI and expect the same results. We've been down the road of the FO's lack of information/action over the injuries too many times now. They f'd up, it's spilt milk that can't be put back into the carton. Now they have to try anything they can to win enough games to stay afloat in hopes the injuries resolve sooner then most think.
But, I am very pleased to have seen some of the most amazing pitching performances ever by two pitchers last night, and really, throughout baseball this season. Last night Lee was as good as it gets, unfortunately so was Cain.
What really gripes me about front-runners is when you go to a game and people start leaving in the 7th inning if the Phillies are trailing by only a run or two. I just never go that at all.
Look, we've got problems and, yeah, we might NOT win the division this year or even make the playoffs. But it IS way too early to throw in the towel. Anything can happen and we all just have to sit tight and hope that Howard and Utley can provide something at some point..
I think batting Thome was the right move. What was needed at that time was a long fly ball. Pierre can't hit a fly ball far enough to score Ruiz. Even if he hit a single odds are Ruiz would not score because he has to wait to see if it is caught. So Pierre does not help in that situation.
Mayberry would be a second choice. If he hits the ball he can get a long fly ball. BUT what do you think Bochy would have done? Don't have to guess, cause he did it following Thome's at bat. He brought in a RH pitche to face Mayberry. Or he simply could have walked him.
So, your real choices are Thome vs a LH or Mayberry vs a RH. At this point I would go with Thome.
Everyone on planet earth knew Thome wasn't hitting that Lopez slider… Charlie's Thome-man-crush-gut-call was a terrible one. You pinch hit with the right hander and see if they go at Polly or JMJ. If they walk your pinch hitter, you've got two on base for Pierre, who has only struck out once this year. Cholly went with the sample size of Thome against Lopez (2 for 11 BUT he only struck out three times) rather than going with the much larger sample size of Pierre's success against lefties (and Thome's ineffectiveness against them).
We had gargoyle statues at first and third last night… it's amazing that something like that didn't happen sooner (referring to Wigginton's botched play in the 11th).
Howard would have driven in a run last night and we would have won…
Uhhhh.. yeah….he would have driven in a run much like he did in the final game of the Division Series last year… when he swung 3-0 and made an out (when he should have taken the freaking pitch because we needed a baserunner).
Dipsy, I must agree with just about everything you've said here. The pitchers can"t do much better than they have and unfortunately with the non hitting we have we're looking at 3rd or worse in the East. Schmenkman, you must be smoking wacky tobacky if you real think this team is better than the 2007 team. Even if or when Utley or Howard come back they still aren't going to hit much better.
The 2007 team won 89 games and scored 9% more runs than they allowed.
The 2011 team won 102 and scored 35% more than they allowed.
After Utley returned, they scored 40% more than they allowed
Yes, I think the 2012 team will win at least 89 and have a better season than the 2007 team.
My guess is 75- 80 wins. You can't win if you don't score no matter how good your pitching is. I. e. two nights ago in SF.
I love how the examples are "two nights in SF"…… Without our #3 and #4 hitters… And going against two of the toughest pitchers in all of baseball in Bum and Cain.
Aint nothing wrong with winning games 1-0, 2-0, 2-1, etc…. With great pitching and solid defense…… This isn't the '08 squad, but it doesn't mean they can't win……… If anything, these closer games magnify Charlie's weaknesses in the Xs and Os
Don M, it isn't just 2 nights in SF..How about our 2 losses to the pathetic Pirates. We're only scoring more runs than the Pirates in ALL of baseball. What 3 & 4 hitters??? Rollins & Pence are our 3 & 4 hitters. Those guys named Utley & Howard aren't here, not expected back until !/2 the season is lost and one or both may not be back at all. I don't know about you but I've been a P's fan since my dad took me to my first game in 1951. Traveled the world for 30 yrs in military and am now retired and this is the worst disappointment I've had over a P's team. Watching their attempt at hitting, espicially with runners in scoring position is HORRID. The GM knew of Utley and Howard"s problem at the end of last season and there's no excuse for not having better hitting replacements.
I hate to say that "it's early", but you know what? It's early.
Most of the lineup are not hitting at the level we would expect given their recent history, and this year's projections assuming some aging, etc. That may continue for some, but it would be extremely unusual for an entire team of hitters to suddenly go south all at once. I am convinced that they will hit better, even before Utley and Howard return. more here: http://www.thegoodphight.com/2012/4/19/2960845/phillies-stat-notes-better-offense-ahead
And hitting with RISP fluctuates quite a bit. This is essentially the same team that was 2nd in the NL with a .269 average with runners in scoring position last year.
I agree its early but lets hope we'll not be saying its early at the end of May. If we are it will be too late as that's 1/3 of the season. Let's go P's.

I've been retired from blogging for almost six months, which in Internet Years is like six millennia. This whole post should be simply a Vine clip, right? You probably missed my retirement party when I retired from blogging. The guys all chipped in on a gold-toned watch. The inscription on the back "Did you notice the green squiggly lines?" was particularly touching.
What could draw me out of retirement? The fame? The money? Well seeing how I saw neither of those while I was blogging I'd have to say no. It was actually a blog post that my esteemed and ridiculously talented co-worker Terry White wrote entitled "5 Myths About Adobe Creative Cloud" a couple of months ago.
It is a good post, and features a photo of Nessie, the famed cryptid from Scotland. Which instantly makes me think of the show "In Search Of" which I loved as I child and honestly, creeped me out as well. Myths about Bigfoot or UFOs are still cool in my book, but myths about products…not so much. I always considered myself more Mulder than Scully but here I am dispelling myths, shining my over-powered flashlight on the the dark shadows of misinformation and confusion that IT have about the Creative Cloud.
1) Creative Cloud is virtualized or streamed
Wait, isn't that pretty much the same as Terry's #1 myth "I don't want to run my Applications in a web browser!"??? Yes, but mine is phrased slightly differently, which in the world of blogging is legit. Seriously though, this gets brought up continually and it is worth mentioning again that the Creative Cloud is a new method of distributing our creative desktop applications but they are still applications that are installed and run the old school way. They still take up GBs of your hard drive. Oh wait, I wasn't supposed to highlight that fact. Shrug. But you get it. Our beefy products like Photoshop work best installed on systems with lots of RAM and a modern GPU. Now, it has to be stated that virtualization technology is rapidly evolving and advancements like virtualization of the GPU is just plain awesome. But, the Creative Cloud at present remains a way to download the software from the Cloud, not run the applications in a browser or thin client.
2) Creative Cloud can't be deployed
What? After spending the last 3-4 years trying to do right by the IT community by making packaging tools like AAMEE, licensing tools like APTEE, and updating solutions like AUSST and RUM do you really think we'd roll out a major offering and forget about the IT deployment infrastructure your organization has invested in? Seriously?
Now let me explain, briefly, that we have three different types of the Creative Cloud and I believe some of the misconceptions about deployment have been rooted in the lack of clarity about the different types of the Creative Cloud. If you are an individual, a freelance designer or one-person video production shop, then you can buy the Creative Cloud for individuals. They are admins on their systems. They are their own IT, Procurement, Accounting, etc. No deployment needed, obviously.
Now the next offering is tailored for small businesses or small groups within a large organization, they might want to look at Creative Cloud for teams. An ideal number of folks would be like 5 to 30. Let's say it is a small game developer that buys 25 seats of Creative Cloud for teams, and they have an IT guy who has setup a deployment solution to manage their Macs. The IT admin would log into the Creative Cloud for teams admin portal on the Creative Cloud website and they see an interface for inviting Team members via email. They'll also see a Deployment section and they'll be able to download the new Creative Cloud Packager 1.0. This new tool allows the IT admin to download the Creative Cloud desktop applications and their updates and package them. So unlike AAMEE, it doesn't point to locally downloaded media like the ginormous Master Collection but rather the IT admin can cherry pick applications they want to download to package. See, better! I'd like to take credit for this but I am no longer over the IT tools, so hats off to Karl Gibson and the crew formally known as the "AAMEE crew!"
A 1.1 version of the Creative Cloud Packager is due shortly after the new set of Creative Cloud applications are released next month. The 1.1 version will work for both Creative Cloud for teams and for Creative Cloud for enterprise. The Creative Cloud for enterprise is the third type of the Creative Cloud and is meant for larger institutions who need higher levels of control.
3) Organizations can't control the frequent updates
One of the coolest parts of the Creative Cloud is that we are no longer waiting for annual or 18 month cycles to get new functionality from the products. If the engineers have a cool new feature in Illustrator they release it to the Creative Cloud members as soon as it has gone through the regular QE process. That team doesn't have to wait for a year to have it be a part of a new boxed copy of the Creative Suite or wait for a marketing event. Nope, bam! Into the hands of their users straight away. Sounds great for individuals or people in design studios with mohawks right? But what about my enterprise production environment? What about my strict policy of evaluating all updates before they are released? Nothing changes. The updates are available via the Creative Cloud Packager and can be packaged at the IT admin's discretion. Same level of control.
4) Adobe IDs aren't for us
The way the Creative Cloud for individuals and teams versions work is that the applications, services and storage use a licensing/authentication process that involves an Adobe ID. For Creative Cloud for teams we have an admin portal that allows the IT admin or production manager the ability to send out email invites and those users have to create Adobe IDs in order to sign into the Creative Cloud (i.e. the applications or at creative.adobe.com.) The end users who are using Creative Cloud for teams have to obviously be online to authenticate with their Adobe IDs. Now that is the Creative Cloud for teams which stated above is ideal for small organizations.
Frankly, this doesn't scale for large organizations for hundreds or thousands of users. It doesn't work for organizations like video production places with offline workstations. Larger organizations want to use their own identity systems (like Active Directory or LDAP) and do not want to use Adobe IDs to identify their organization's users who have access to the Creative Cloud. Of course. This is why the Creative Cloud for enterprise offering has this in mind. Presently if you purchase Creative Cloud for enterprise then the IT admin has the same flexibly to package and deploy the creative desktop applications without use of Adobe IDs. What? Yep. How are the applications licensed? A contract-defined expiring serial number. A serial number? Boring, right? Old school. Status quo. Status Quo.
Now there are a lot of great aspects of the Creative Cloud that go beyond just the core applications. It is essential that we provide this functionality to our enterprise customers. We are working on the ability for your organization to control login into the Creative Cloud using your authentication infrastructure by using Single Sign-On authentication via SAML 2.0. This will allow for the use of the cloud functionality including storage and services. I'll come back and do an entire blog that outlines our strategy around supporting SSO and will separately write an entry explaining all the advantages you and your users will have once they are signing into the Creative Cloud for enterprise. Some really cool stuff. Are we aware that not every enterprise customer is ready to support SSO or use a different authentication method? Yes. Will we support other methods of authentication down the road? Yes. But we are presently working on Single Sign-On authentication via SAML 2.0 as a foundation of our authentication strategy.
5) Cloud storage isn't for us, so neither is Creative Cloud
I have saved one of the most contentious myths for the end. First, there are always concerns from IT about files stored in the cloud and rightfully so. The "Adobe Creative Cloud Security FAQ for IT" doc covers a good portion of questions you or your organization might have about our cloud storage aspect of the Creative Cloud.
And for every CIO, CTO, or IT admin who tells me they are shrinking their data center and using more cloud services there is always a set of IT folks who tell me the opposite: My user's data will never be in the cloud. To that I say: okay. No fight here. Seriously. You can't turn off the cloud storage component for the Creative Cloud for teams, but there are ways of course for IT to control traffic and block ports. These are documented in the "Adobe Creative Cloud Network Endpoints" and "Controlling Access to Adobe Creative Cloud Services" docs.
And restricting storage access is certainly an option for the Creative Cloud for enterprise. Presently there is no identity login component for the Creative Cloud for enterprise so hence no accessibility to the cloud storage. When your organization begins to have access to the Creative Cloud via SSO then the IT admin will have access to an admin panel which will include granular levels of control over who has access to what applications, services and storage. Want to turn off storage? Okay. Want to give more storage to the marketing group. Okay. High levels of control for IT, is at the heart of my personal vision of the Creative Cloud for enterprise.
We'll be more than happy to squash some more myths and answer questions in the comments. Or we can discuss who would win in a fight between Chupacabra or Moth Man. Your call.

Author's note: Here are some practical tips, excerpted from my book, Building Wireless Community Networks, 2nd Edition, on wireless point-to-point networking that I've learned from the field. I've found these details useful when working on long-distance networks.

Building Wireless Community Networks
From a radio perspective, point-to-point links are very straightforward to set up. You should always follow more or less the same steps when evaluating the possibility of a link:
If you intend to make a long-distance point-to-point link, first find out the latitude, longitude, and altitude of each end point. You can find this by physically going to each site and marking the coordinates with a GPS, or you can estimate using topographical maps or software (see Chapter 6 of Building Wireless Community Networks, 2nd Edition for some examples of how to do this). With the coordinates and altitude of both sites, you can calculate a bearing and tilt angle, so you know roughly where to point the antennas on each end. A decent GPS can help here by giving you a bearing to and from each point. You should also check out the online wireless design CGIs at www.qsl.net/n9zia/wirelesspage09.html for help with many of the calculations you'll need to perform.
Obviously, if you can see the other point through binoculars or a telescope, this is a good first step. Ideally, there should be very little on the ground between the two points. The closer the path is to an actual valley, the better. Take a look at Chapter 6 for details about how to calculate the path loss and link budget for your link. I've mentioned it before, but here it is again: keep your antenna cable as short as possible! On a long-distance point-to-point link, every few decibels count.
Now that you're ready to hook up your gear, the question remains: what gear do you want to use? That depends on your (fiscal) budget and how you plan to use the link. As we saw in Chapter 5, it is very simple to set up a Linux gateway in IBSS or Host AP mode. This is a popular and flexible way to go, but setup can be a little complex if it's your first link. If you already have a hardware access point, you can use it for one end of the link, and have a computer using a client card on the other. Another alternative is to use an access point that will bridge over the air, such as the Linksys WAP11 (although there are varying reports of success and stability with that particular model). Keeping your WAP11 firmware up to date seems to be the best move you can make toward greater operating stability. Finally, it is also possible to use client hardware (such as the Orinoco Ethernet Converter or Linksys WET11) on one end of the link to talk to an access point on the other end. People have had different experiences with these devices, but, generally speaking, firmware updates seem to resolve most issues.
The farther apart your points are, the harder it will be to aim your antennas. At distances up to five miles or so, this is rarely a problem (as long as you have enough total gain to overcome the path loss). At greater distances, getting the antennas pointed directly at each other can be quite tricky. Here are some techniques that might help you get your dishes pointed in the right direction:
It can take all day to properly align antennas at a great distance, but it can also be a fun time with the right group of people. Just take your time, think about what you're doing, and be sure to leave time at the end of the day to celebrate!
There is something I must mention here: I know you're probably excited about getting your link up and running, but never neglect attention to safety. Mounting antennas on roofs or poles can be hazardous, particularly if you are preoccupied by thoughts of link budgets, pigtails, and signal strength meters. In February of 2002, I nearly lost my own life when I fell from a friend's roof while working on a point-to-point link. I had been on many, many roofs at that point, and carelessly went out on a roof after sunset. I remember thinking, "It's getting dark, but we're almost done. I'll just go out and finish up." In the next minute, I stepped off of the roofline and ended up in a hospital for the next week (and recovering over the next several months).
When working on a wireless project, take your time, make sure you have plenty of light, and always work with a friend if you're doing anything precarious. Pay attention to power lines. Whenever possible, you should wear a harness when working on a roof or other high place. Remember that the problem will always be there for you to solve . . . tomorrow. Building your own network is tremendously rewarding, but no link is worth risking your life.

IMAGE Blasts Off
27, 2000 -- NASAs newest space weather probe lifted
off March 25 from the Western Range at Vandenberg AFB, CA at
12:34 p.m. PST. The "Imager for Magnetopause-to-Aurora Global
Exploration" (IMAGE) spacecraft
separated from the Delta II third stage about 56 minutes after
launch and is now in an elliptical orbit, ranging from 1,000
kilometers to 45,871 kilometers above Earth.
"The skies cleared, then our hearts lifted with the IMAGE spacecraft; on time, on budget, on the start of a new era in space physics at the Earth," said onlooker Dennis Gallagher, a plasma physicist from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, who attended the launch along with other members of the IMAGE science team.
Right: Dennis Gallagher (NASA/MSFC) snapped this picture of IMAGE soaring into space aboard a Delta rocket on March 25, 2000.
"The spacecraft appears to be healthy with all systems performing nominally," said IMAGE project manager Frank Volpe at NASAs Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. "We are looking forward to a great science mission."
After the 40 day setup period, IMAGE will begin using its trio of neutral atom imagers, a far-ultraviolet imaging system, an extreme ultraviolet imager and a radio plasma imager to make movies of the magnetosphere. This unique approach will allow scientists to view, for the first time, the big picture rather than capturing limited, local measurements at far-flung points in space.
Stay tuned to Science@NASA for science updates from the IMAGE mission. Please see our earlier articles "Space Weather Mission Nears Launch." and "The RADAR Cop in Space." to learn more.

IMAGE is NASAs first Medium-class Explorer (MIDEX) mission under the Agencys Explorer Program. The principal institution for IMAGE is the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, which has overall responsibility for IMAGE science, instrumentation, spacecraft operations and data analysis during its two-year science mission. SwRI's Jim Burch is the IMAGE Principle Investigator. Lockheed Martin Missiles and Space Division in Sunnyvale, Calif. built and tested the 1,089-pound (494-kilogram) spacecraft under a contract with SwRI.Web Links

Coming back to Earth
Well reality sunk in and hell has not frozen over.
The Pirates will not be undefeated this season.
The Dodgers laid it on the Bucs 11-2. The lack of offense on our end was thanks to excellent starting pitching from my fantasy team ace, Chad Billingsley. He hit 100 pitches within the first five innings and later handed the ball over to Jared "Dream" Weaver. He worked his way out of jams and worked masterfully.
Even though the Bucs lost their first game of the season, by nine runs at that, taking two of three from the Dodgers is no easy feat. I am very proud of the team and their scrappy play thus far in the young infant season.
Wednesdays game was glorious. A lot of my West Virginia friends made the trip up but I had to stay home. As weird as it was for six guys who are not Pirates fans to drive an hour for a Pirates game, they had a great time and were not only treated to a walk off win, but dollar tickets as well! Soak that in for a sec, dollar tickets! They had great seats too, section 113 down the left field line.
Ronny Cedeno was the hero of the game drilling a pitch to left field for the walkoff. A glorious moment that probably sent the 30,000 at PNC Park into a fury.
With three games down I still remain optimistic that Pittsburgh will surprise people this year. .500 is reachable!
The squad now heads to Pheonix with a weekend series at Chase Field against the Diamondbacks.

Matt, your Pirates totally made my heart stop!! They almost swept the Dodgers so don't write them off.
You mean Jeff Weaver. I am so glad that we were able to salvage one game. Oh, so you have Billz in our fantasy league! I have Padilla and Kershaw. I thought I was safe from their high ERA but the bye was lifted. Oh well.
I think that the Pirates will have to be simply amazing to get to .500. But if Jones and McCutch do their thing, the offense should be ok. I'm just worried about your pitching a little bit. But your team is young, and with youth comes unexpected results!
I watched that game. ouch! But Hey!…you're still winning games at a .600 clip!
; )
mike BTB
So you gotta lose 1 or 2 games on the year…LOL but my prediction of the Pirates being a better than .500 team this year are holding true…:-) okay it only a week

I really did enjoy the start of the season for the Buccs! Y'all were lookin good! I enjoy watching Andrew mccutchen! He's electric😀

Moretown Landfill neighbors blame damage on blasting
Stefan Hard / Staff File Photo The Moretown Landfill is seen from the air, looking south. The Winooski River and Interstate 89 are on the left.
MORETOWN Science battled reality as Moretown residents and Moretown Landfill Inc. officials gave testimony to the Development Review Board on Thursday about the landfills application for expansion.
The landfill, which has operated for more than 30 years, is one of only two in the state that take municipal waste, along with Coventry.
Its expected to be full in March and is looking to expand to a new cell, or area for dumping waste. The proposed cell is the size of all its other cells combined and would keep the landfill in service for 15 to 18 more years.
About 40 people crammed into a small room at the temporary town hall and were scheduled to talk about blasting, stormwater runoff and the design of the new cell. Instead they talked for four hours about what blasting at the site may have done to homes versus how much damage could be expected, based on blasting science and U.S. Bureau of Mines regulations: none.
The meeting was an extension of a hearing Sept. 27. The next one will be Oct. 25 at the Moretown Town Hall. Thursdays meeting was relocated because of bathroom issues at the town hall, which have since been fixed.
The evening started with subcontractor Maine Drilling and Blasting giving a presentation about what blasting is and how safe it is supposed to be. The company has done blasting at the landfill every summer since 2008, to create material to cover up waste. The company has conducted 30 blasts this year and expects to finish by the end of next week.
But blasting would resume in future years if the landfill stays open.
Ken Smith, technical adviser for Maine Drilling and Blasting, opened with an ingratiating approach emphasizing what he said were his humble roots.
Im not an educated person, he said. I worked all my life. Im school of hard knocks.
Smith said he empathized with the residents who thought their homes had been damaged by the blasting and wanted to make sure people understood the science of blasting.
He presented graphs and charts showing limits the company has to abide by and how they are well below what should cause damage. Smith then showed a photo of a job the company did a few feet from Massachusetts General Hospital. He said the blasting went on while dozens of surgeries were performed safely.
Smith suggested the residents were perceiving the blasts as stronger than they are.
But the residents werent buying it.
Martha Douglass, who has lived about 1,500 feet from the landfill since 1992, showed a video shot in her kitchen during one of the blasts. It shows a full glass of water on a table. The camera and glass start shaking after one of the blasts.
I wouldnt want to operate under those conditions, she said.
Maine Drilling and Blasting has taken seismic readings at the homes of some residents who requested it. Douglass said she confirmed that the machines were licensed and calibrated properly and the amount of ground movement they detected was below regulation standards.
The company is doing what it is supposed to be, she said, but the shaking persists.
The science isnt making sense, she said. Smith agreed the situation seemed baffling.
Resident David Belanger, who has lived near the landfill since 2005, said a 6-by-4-foot chunk of his garage floor broke off and sank a few inches into the sandy soil the structure is built on after a blast this summer. He also said water in his well has been red and smells of sulfur, which he attributes to the blasting.
Lisa Ransom has lived on a farm next to the landfill for 17 years. She said she does not let her children play in trees for fear a blast may knock the youngsters to the ground.
Ransom runs Grow Compost of Vermont, an organic compost facility, on her farm. She said a new commercial building there, built in 2010, has cracking and damage from the blasting, including numerous foundation cracks.
Raoul Cervantes, who moved to Moretown in 2005, said his home is about half a mile from the landfill. He testified that he lived in California for 23 years and has experienced earthquakes. He talked about a blast he felt at home Oct. 1.
I ended up calling my wife, saying, Hey, did you feel that earthquake? ... Sure enough, it was a recorded blast. Ive lived through earthquakes, and this felt like one, he said.
He also testified that he has wallboard that has cracked and other damage from the blasting.
All of the residents who spoke said this summer was the worst since blasting began in 2008. Maine Drilling and Blasting supervisor Guy Keefe said the company has been doing it the same way since then and had no explanation for any increased intensity.
Residents can put themselves on a call list for notification before a blast. Most of the residents did not know the service existed, and the ones who did know said they found out only after calling the landfill to complain about the blasts.
Douglass said she has been trying to find an expert to counter the claims of Maine Drilling and Blasting, but finding one has been difficult because of the size of the company in charge of the landfill.
Moretown Landfill Inc. is owned by Interstate Waste Services, a Delaware-based company, which is being merged into Advanced Disposal Inc. of Florida. Both companies are owned by Star Atlantic Waste Holdings II, a portfolio company of the investment firm Highstar Capital in New York.
When you mention the Moretown Landfill, not too many people want to go up against that, she said.

JFK's last hundred daysDecember 26,2013JFKs Last Hundred Days is the title of a book about that time in the life of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. The author, Thurston Clarke, has written for magazines, as well as works of fiction.
And he has made full use of material made available at the Kennedy Library, as well as comments by people who participated in that administration. Some of the information is familiar, but others I, at least had not known about.
While the books chapters follow the chronology of those hundred days leading up to the assassination in Dallas, the material contained in the chapters takes in considerably more time.
There were hawks and doves in the Kennedy White House, and the author makes it clear that JFK himself came to be pretty much on the dove side. He spoke quite clearly about getting out of Vietnam completely, but didnt want to make such a definite move until after the 1964 elections.
He was pretty certain the Republicans would nominate Barry Goldwater, and he didnt want to give Goldwater the chance to accuse him of being soft. He spoke about a drastic reduction in U.S. personnel in Saigon by the end of 1965. If he had lived to put that into effect, the shape of this countrys politics during the next couple of decades would have been considerably different.
The days spent on family matters are also covered in the book. Given the personalities involved, theirs was not the smoothest family life, but they tried to keep it placid on the surface. The Kennedys had lost their second son, born prematurely and soon dead, but the president did cavort with his other two children when he had a chance.
Kennedy, of course, had worked out a treaty for reduction of nuclear weapons with Nikita Khrushchev of the Soviet Union. What I hadnt realized was the impact on the administration of a best-selling novel that had come out the year before. Seven Days in May is about a coup attempt by U.S. military figures in the future against a president who has signed a nuclear treaty with the Soviets.
One of the novels authors, Fletcher Knebel, had interviewed military personnel at the Pentagon and had found some who were very dissatisfied with Kennedy, particularly since he refused to have U.S. forces support the Cuban rebels in the Bay of Pigs incident. An Air Force general, Curtis LeMay, went so far as to call Kennedy a coward. Several admirals also were unhappy at White House attitudes.
Kennedy told friends that he thought there might be a coup attempt against his administration, but only if there were another Bay of Pigs incident, and he wasnt planning on having any such thing take place. During conferences, he often doodled on scratch paper, and on several of such sheets that have been saved, he scribbled the word coup. Sometimes, the context seemed to be about a coup in Saigon, but at other times, he seemed to be thinking about matters much closer to home.
His brother, Robert, the attorney general, went so far as to tell Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin that a U.S. military coup was actually being thought of, but that seems to have been merely an effort to get the Soviets to move faster on the arms treaty.
It may well have been afterthoughts, but a number of people claimed that they told Kennedy not to go to Dallas. His civil-rights activity had angered many in the South. One emissary he sent there, Adlai Stevenson, had been battered by people carrying anti-administration placards.
But he went anyway, and history was changed.

Thank you all soooooo much for the advice and encouragment! We do nurse laying down and that is so great. When he wakes to eat he never cries, he is like a ravenous little baby who hasn't eaten all day! He "hunts" for the boob and huffs and puffs. Nothing has changed in our daytime routine. I am still at home and won't go back to work till mid June. He is trying to roll over too, and I know a couple of you mentioned that, so that is another thing too..I forgot to mention that! He just is like a wiggle baby who is just on his side, trying and trying to roll. I'm so glad you all are supportive of not giving the rice cereal...I am against it, but have heard from others it helps. The others though, don't BF so maybe that's why .
I just need to go with the flow and not fight it and I am glad I am not the only one that has gone through this!!

Spring Update and Ideas For Keeping Utley Healthy
Over the last two days, both Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee saw their first spring training action on the mound. Halladay went two scoreless against his old team, the Blue Jays. And Lee gave up two runs in two innings today against the Tigers. Both Phillies aces are in the beginning stages of working out the kinks before the regular season.
But while some are easing their way into baseball shape, others need to play well now. Ben Francisco has taken the proverbial bull by the horns right from the start, as he is competing for the job in right field. Francisco is batting .400 with four hits and five RBI in ten at-bats.
As for his competition, Domonic Brown has yet to get a hit. He is 0 for 12. John Mayberry Jr. has not done too much either, hitting just .250. It looks like the job may be Francisco's if the young guys do not step it up, fast.
Chase Utley is still resting after being diagnosed with right knee tendonitis. He is able to hit, but not doing any running. The issue has been downplayed by Utley and team management, but this may be something to keep a close eye on.
I had a few thoughts about how to keep Chase Utley healthy. Here are a few ideas:
Clone him. Use a different Utley clone each day to keep him fresh!
The Bionic Man: Replace bum body parts with super-powerful bionic parts:
Iron Man armor:
Store Utley in a protective bubble:
Any other ideas? Pass them on!

Well I once suggested on Jane's blog that MLB should add a bubble wrap clause the players' contracts allowing the team, at the manager's discretion, to insist that certain players wear a protective bubble wrap coating whenever the manager deems necessary to protect against injury. Although, in light of recent events around all of MLB, I think that a bubble wrap clause could also help limit bad behavior. It's hard to drink and drive if your keys are stuck in your pocket under layers of bubble wrap. Teams could also use it to muffle players prone to foot in mouth disease. Really, it's win, win all around.
I like the Bionic Man version… funny to see all one needs to simulate a heart is a chip card. I'm off to Fry's to get me one!
I like Sue's suggestion to hire you to massage his knees. Perhaps Sue and you can work together. All for the good of the team😉

- Title
- Limits to squeezing in the degenerate optical parametric oscillator
- Author(s)
- Chaturvedi, S.; Dechoum, K.; Drummond, P. D.
- Abstract
- We develop a systematic theory of quantum fluctuations in the driven optical parametric oscillator, including the region near threshold. This allows us to treat the limits imposed by nonlinearities to quantum squeezing and noise reduction in this nonequilibrium quantum phase transition. In particular, we compute the squeezing spectrum near threshold and calculate the optimum value. We find that the optimal noise reduction occurs at different driving fields, depending on the ratio of damping rates. The largest spectral noise reductions are predicted to occur with a very high-Q second-harmonic cavity. Our analytic results agree well with stochastic numerical simulations. We also compare the results obtained in the positive-P representation, as a fully quantum-mechanical calculation, with the truncated Wigner phase-space equation, also known as the semiclassical theory.

Success rate
Track and field: This past week marked the opening salvo of the championship cavalcade. Beginning with Sullivan West's Donna Deppa Meet of Champions of May 15 and on to the OCIAA League Championship meet on May 18-19, local runners, jumper and throwers marshaled their best in preparation for the Section 9 championships on May 23 for classes B and C, which includes Liberty, Tri-Valley and Sullivan West, and on May 24 for class A Monticello and Class D Eldred and Livingston Manor. The Donna Deppa Meet of Champions is scored individually. For results from that meet, visit www.sportsinsightny.com to read the story entitled "In Loving Memory," which begins with a tribute to the late Donna Deppa, who devoted herself unselfishly to the Sullivan West track endeavors while supporting her daughters Rebecca and Rachel.
The OCIAA league meet features schools large and small and the talent pool on hand is greater than local kids will see with the exception of those who make it to states. Here are some highlights: Monticello's Tino Taylor broke the record for the 400 with a time of 50.62.The prior record had been on the books for over 20 years. Liberty's Peter Koval shattered the school javelin record with a heave of 153-11. Liberty's Rebeccah Harman and Sullivan West's Amanda Rosenberger were named as Sportsmanship Award winners at the meet. Eldred's Hunter Proscia set new high water marks with his fourth-place finish in the 3000 steeplechase (10:06.90) and in the 3200 (9:33.55), in which he placed third. Tri-Valley's Jimmy Bernstein marshaled a lifetime best in the 800 with a time of 1:59. Tri-Valley's Mareena DiMilia finished second in the outdoor pentathlon with 2,414 points. Liberty's Kane Sauchuk took fourth in the 110 hurdles (15.7) and the 400 intermediate hurdles (55.88). Teammate Kenny Jaycox was fourth in the long jump (21-087.25). Fallsburg's Candhace Forrest was fourth in the 100 (13.0). Read "League Lore 2012" on sportsinsightsny.com for more on the meet.

Vitamin E for Alzheimer's
Recently you may have seen headlines like "Vitamin E slows decline in patients with mild Alzheimer's" or "There's still no cure for Alzheimer's disease, but the latest hope for slowing its progression is already on drugstore shelves." They were referring to an article in the January 1, 2014 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) announcing the results of the TEAM-AD VA Cooperative Randomized Trial of vitamin E and memantine (Namenda) for Alzheimer's disease (AD).
The study attracted a lot of media attention. Most of the news reports I have seen were accurate and cautious, explaining the nuances of the study rather than suggesting that everyone should run out and buy vitamin E; but I wouldn't be surprised to learn that a lot of readers ignored the fine print and did just that. It would be interesting to track sales of vitamin E and see if there was a bump following the publicity.
We know of no treatment that will delay, prevent or cure Alzheimer's disease, or that affects the underlying disease process. It's a tragic, frustrating disease that takes away the very things that make us who we are: memory and personality. It is affecting more and more people as the numbers of elderly increase. Available prescription medications are only modestly effective in slowing functional decline and delaying the need for institutionalization. They are expensive, they don't help everyone, and when they do help, they only help for a limited time. It is very exciting to think an inexpensive vitamin could help patients with mild to moderate AD, but we must resist the temptation to read too much into this study. (more…)

"You guys in the elite media are nothing but sluts and prostitutes for your crybaby opposition to common sense tart reform!"
Whoa. My friend Barney from New Jersey was off to such a bombastic and erratic start I glanced at my watch, only to remember Jimmy Buffet's admonition, "It's five o'clock somewhere."
No doubt the next few telephone minutes would be tortuous, but I did take some pleasure in Barney's including me among the elite media. For a guy who has pecked away at the keyboard 40 years under a program I like to call "pennies for paupers," that's high praise indeed.
"Slow down, Barney," I urged him. "First of all, your despicable hero Rush already hit his professional wall with the inexcusable slut slur, and, second, if by 'tart' you are referring to 'a nubile young temptress who dresses teasingly and provocatively,' I don't think even Rick Santorum wants to regulate how women dress. But maybe, come to think of it."
"You know exactly what I am talking about," Barney barked. "Your so-called Land of Enhancement is right in the thick of a nuisance lawsuit over a bottle of soda and it's going to cost the poor soft drink company upwards of 900,000 bucks for no good reason whatsoever!"
Aaahh. "That's tort reform, Barney. Not tart reform."
I was aware of the soft drink kerfuffle, a lawsuit conservatives might find marginally questionable. A successful Santa Fe soft drink company, Blue Sky, sold out to a California company in 2000. The company that bought Blue Sky, now known as Monster Beverage Company, continued making the soft drink at its California plant.
Nothing seems amiss with that set of facts except, oops, it turns out Monster continued to print on its can the Santa Fe connection, giving soda drinkers across the country the impression they were consuming a product manufactured in New Mexico.
Any psychologist worth her PsyD will tell you drinking a California beverage you thought was bottled in New Mexico will lead to anxiety and insomnia. Thank heavens, someone sued. He is Chris Chavez, a native New Mexican who now lives in California. The lawsuit was filed in San Francisco. No smart-aleck response required, thank you.
There is a pending settlement that adequately reimburses duped consumers. If you bought Blue Sky products between May 16, 2002, and June 30, 2006, you can receive payments of up to a maximum of $100, half the total of the purchase. So, say you drank $200 worth of these drinks during that period. You have just stumbled into a $100 windfall. Ummm. One little problem. You need to track down the receipts. No receipts? You'll get six bucks. Maybe.
Listening to the clink of ice hitting glass on the other end of the line, I had a hunch Barney might not buy into my argument of this being an example of a perfect system defending the oppressed. So I tried a steer the discussion elsewhere.
"Barney," I told him, "you may have a problem with my contention this lawsuit protects unwary soft drink consumers who, having found they imbibed a California product are now overcome with depression, but I do want to point out there is another huge benefit to this settlement."
I was referring to the fact the soft drink company has also agreed to pay $900,000 in fees, $10,000 of which would go to plaintiff Chris Chavez and $890,000 to lawyers.
"You'll have to admit, Barney, that's not only great for Chris, but an effective jobs program for lawyers, way better than a government bailout for the legal profession!"
Sensing I was about to lose my erstwhile New Jersey friend, I quickly added, "and Barney, it's not Enhancement, it's Land of Enchantment!"

Zayo Group acquires data center in Atlanta
- published_in
- Today's News
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The 72,000-square-foot data center includes 42,000 square feet of colocation space. Zayo now owns 28 data centers. A colocation facility is a data center that allows customers to deploy their own servers, networks and storage hardware in the space.
AtlantaNAP, at 1100 White St. SW, opens a new market for zColo, and complements Zayo's fiber network in Atlanta, which spans more than 600 route miles. The colocation facility in Atlanta is connected to most major carrier hotels and data centers.
"Atlanta is a high demand colocation market and a growing hub for health care, technology and large enterprises,´ said Greg Friedman, vice president of zColo.
With the acquisition, Zayo's national data center footprint is more than 570,000 square feet.
Zayo Group also announced Wednesday that it has completed its purchase of Neo Telecoms, a Paris-based bandwidth infrastructure company. That acquisition was first announced in April. Financial terms of that deal were not disclosed.
The acquisition of Neo adds 300 route miles of Paris dark fiber and more than 500 on-net buildings to Zayo's network footprint in Europe. Through nine colocation facilities operated by Neo across France, Zayo can now offer an additional 36,000 square feet of data-center space to customers.
The acquisition of Neo closely follows Zayo's acquisition of London-based fiber provider Geo Networks in May for $300 million.

What is verification?
Verification is the process of confirming that the information reported by the student and/or parent on the FAFSA is accurate. Applications are selected for verification either by the Central Processing System or by the school. Students who are selected for verification cannot receive financial aid until their information has been verified by the Director of Financial Assistance. In addition to verification, a student may be asked to complete an itemization worksheet. This worksheet is used to get an accurate picture of a students and/or parents financial information. It is CMUs policy to require an itemization worksheet when a household did not file taxes or when the familys adjusted gross income is below the U.S. Poverty Guidelines.
What do I do if I am chosen for verification?
If your application was selected for verification, additional documentation will be requested from the financial assistance office. Your financial aid will remain estimated until all the necessary documents have been submitted to the financial assistance office and the Director of Financial Assistance verifies your information. Please check your myCMU for a list of needed documents.
How do I know if I have missing financial documents?
You can check your myCMU account under the Student Tab, choose Financial Aid, then Financial Aid Document Tracking to see if you are missing any financial aid documents. The documents listed will include all documents needed to complete verification, if selected. Any other documents needed to resolve conflicting data or to provide clarification of the reported data will also be listed. These documents may include but not limited to documentation of interest income, support form for family members listed in your household, divorce decree, child support documentation, and asset verification documentation.
I don't have my tax forms I need for verification, where can I get copies?
Tax documentation is needed from both the student (if filed) and parent (if student is dependent). You have two options for providing tax documentation:
- Correct your FAFSA on the Web using the IRS Data Retrieval Process to import your tax information (preferred option), or
- Provide an IRS Tax Return Transcript. The IRS Tax Return Transcript can be requested
by: (Please be aware that it may take 6-8 weeks to receive tax transcripts from the
- Online www.irs.gov
- Telephone 800-908-9946
- By mail IRS Form 4506T-EZ
What happens after verification documents are submitted?
Once documents have been submitted for verification, they are reviewed for completeness and accuracy. If corrections need to be made, the Director of Financial Assistance will make the adjustment to the FAFSA and then submit the corrections to the Federal Central Processing Center (CPS). The CPS will calculate a new Expected Family Contribution (EFC) and send the results to you and the school. Once the school receives the new FAFSA, your financial aid will be added to your account and will be posted to your account after enrolled hours have been confirmed. You can track your financial aid progress through your myCMU account under Financial Aid.

Report: Apple Looks to Ditch Intel Chips in Macs for ARM
Jason Mick
November 6, 2012 12:33 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Apple may co-design special new ARM chips for its laptop and desktop computers
Bob Mansfield, Apple, Inc.'s (
"Technologies" group senior vice president
, recently announced that his semiconductor teams have "ambitious plans for the future."
I. Change Ahead?
For Apple, who has been quietly been growing its chipmaking army with acquisitions like
P.A. Semi
, that could mean a switch from Intel Corp.'s (
) x86 chips on the Mac computer front to
in-house system-on-a-chip (SoC) designs
utilizing ARM Holdings plc.'s (
) proprietary architecture, which is currently found in Apple's iPhones, iPods, and iPads.
new report
suggests Apple is exploring a possible exit from its dependence on Intel chips, over the next several years. The news agency writes:
While Apple is now committed to Intel in computers and is unlikely to switch in the next few years, some engineers say a shift to its own designs is inevitable as the features of mobile devices and PCs become more similar, two people said.
As handheld devices increasingly function like PCs, the engineers working on this project within Apple envision machines that use a common chip design. If Apple Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook wants to offer the consumer of 2017 and beyond a seamless experience on laptops, phones, tablets and televisions, it will be easier to build if all the devices have a consistent underlying chip architecture, according to one of the people.
Apple is rumored to be contemplating switching its Macs to ARM chips.
[Image Source: Maximum PC]
None of the companies involved were willing to comment on the rumor. However, this has not been the first time that Apple has been rumored to be working on computer-side CPUs in-house.
ARM shares climbed 4.2 percent on the London Stock Exchange following this news, and news that ARM had paid MIPS Technologies, Inc. (
) a lump sum of $350M USD to license its portfolio of 580 hardware patents. The MIPS deal lays to rest concerns that the
rival reduced-instruction set computer (RISC) architecture designer
might be preparing to sue its more prolific peer (ARM).
II. Lesson From the PowerPC Era
Apple may be reticent to jump into a computer-side deployment of ARM too soon.
Only a decade ago Apple was supporting another non-x86 architecture -- PowerPC -- whose chips were co-designed by Motorola and International Business Machines, Inc. (
). While
PowerPC Macs seemed to be faster
in some benchmarks than their higher-clocked Windows/x86 counterparts, Intel's flashy clock speeds during the height of the Megahertz wars hurt Apple from an image standpoint. And Motorola's decision to bail on PowerPC drove Apple to in 2005
finalize its long-standing plans to jump ship
to Intel's x86 chips.
ARM is hardly analogous to PowerPC at present, but it's easy to see why Apple might be uneager to move too fast, should market conditions change. Indeed, the next few years in the chip market are a time of great uncertainty.
Apple's decision to ditch PowerPC brought it closer in line with Windows OEMs, who also use Intel chips. [Image Source: Bryon Realey/Flickr]
On the one hand, Intel is pushing hard to leverage its process advantages to deliver fast, power-efficient mobile cores, cutting into ARM's core business. On the other hand, ARM is invading the personal computer market with
Windows RT
, and is expected to land in the server market
around 2014 with Window Server 2012 R2
. ARM has been boosted by x86 veteran Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.'s (
) decision to at least
partially transition its CPU line
to ARM chips.
's sources are accurate, Apple will likely be hard at work designing a possible ARM-based SoC replacement to drop into its MacBook Airs and MacBook Pros. But the decision to pull the trigger may ultimately rest on where ARM stands versus Intel/x86 come 2016-2017.

I wonder how many threads there are now...sorry, the guy is a c*cksucker, born with a silver spoon in his mouth,
who sticks his stupid face where it doesn't belong way too many times,
needs to have HIS picture taken with stars to make sure everyone knows
it's HIS team, still remains friends with Zeke after all the BS, bad signings,
sexual harassment, blown millions etc.
the 3/4 billion dollar facelift MSG is getting will be coming out of pockets
of the fans, and is being done to make better seats for high rollers and
corporate interests. the $300 wheelchair seats have gone up to over $2500.
real fans cannot afford to attend Knick games, and those who can afford
them will rarely sit courtside or up to 100 section unless you know someone
with a corporate ticket account who can take their ticket purchases off as
"entertainment expense" on their taxes. Ever try to buy season tickets
in the good seats? INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE or UNAVAILABLE because of
corporate interests.
D'oh-lan and MSG's corporate interests prevented another stadium from being
built on the west side of town year ago, total BS that prevented a football team
from playing in NYC, because it COULD have been an arena for basketball.
I may be wrong on this one, but I know MSG corporate prevented this from happening.
MSG on Cable has been taken off Time Warner Cable in the past and threatens
to be taken off again, because MSG wants MORE MONEY from TWC. Damn that
D'oh-lan and his corporate scheming, keeping NY b-ball from millions of fans.
D'ohlan was stupid enough to pay Allan Houston 100 million dollars and
raised the entire bar for paying players in the first place. He's a corporate
pantywaste who doesn't have a clue, is a ****ty guitar player and singer who
leads a ****ty band, and is a ****head.
PLEASE. just because someone spends money doesn't mean he knows what
he's doing. you can thanks Donnie Walsh for making the Knicks relevant
again, and that was not D'oh-lan's doing. It was D'oh-lans undoing to make
Donnie leave because he can't keep his stupid face and fingers out of the pot
that stirs the Knicks.
google "James Dolan Idiot" and see how many threads come up.
rant rant pant pant.

Sure, a smart phone can make a phone call, but that's just a fraction of what it can do. You can keep your calendar, store and play your music, watch TV shows - even feature-length movies. And, of course, smart phones let you update your Facebook status anywhere … keep on top of your Twitter feed … take photos and shoot video. "I miss you!" Since it went on sale, there's been plenty of buzz about Apple's new iPhone 4-S, and Consumer Reports testers say it turns out to be a great phone. The 4-S is faster than the iPhone 4, and the upgraded camera takes better pictures. The voice-activated personal assistant, Siri, also works well - and it even has a sense of humor. Mike Gikas "What is the meaning of life?" Siri "Beep." "I can't answer that now, but give me some time to write a very long play in which nothing happens."
But Consumer Reports says there are plenty of other smart phones out there that perform just as well, or even better, than the 4-S. "For example, several phones we tested weigh less than the 4-S and have larger screens." Like the Samsung Galaxy S-2, on the right. A bigger screen is great for Web browsing and video.
Another important consideration - speed. Mike Gikas "Many of the Android phones we tested run on 4G networks, and are faster than iPhones. That means content downloads more quickly and videos run smoother." If you have Verizon, Consumer Reports top rates the Motorola Droid Bionic. If you use Sprint, T-Mobile, or AT&T, the Samsung Galaxy S-2 topped the ratings.

Mayor Peter Carlisle announced Friday that a team of 12 advisors will be available Downtown and in Chinatown for the next week to assist motorists with new "smart" parking meters that accept credit and debit cards.
"We want to make sure that anyone who is unfamiliar with the new meters can take advantage of their features if they so choose," Carlisle said. "We also want to make sure everyone understands that they can still pay with coins if they prefer."
The advisors, who began assisting motorists today, will wear bright yellow vests and black caps that identify them as Smart Meter Advisors. They will remain available through Friday, July 27, and will continue on Saturday, July 28 in Chinatown only.
The new meters are being installed as part of a pilot project to replace coin-only meters with new solar-powered meters that allow payment by credit and debit card and the addition of meter time via mobile phone. The project began on June 4 with the installation of 110 meters in the Civic Center area. The latest phase will install 231 meters on Downtown and Chinatown streets before Monday.
Wireless communication capability is incorporated into the meters for real-time online credit card authorization, which meets the highest Visa and MasterCard standards for credit card information security. No credit card information is ever stored on the meters or on any city information system.
Meter rates, maximum parking durations and enforcement practices will not be changed during the pilot project. Additional information and a customer feedback system will be available at www.ipsgroupinc.com/honolulu.
The city will also solicit feedback on its Facebook page and Twitter accounts @HNL_Info and @hnldts.
