The demand for residential properties, a major revenue source for most real estate companies, is receding. An expected increase in borrowing rates and the near-peak realty prices may reduce the demand further.
This will affect most realty firms that had started showing signs of recovery in the recent quarters. This explains why the 29-stock ET Realty Index has underperformed the broader benchmark Sensex in the past three months. During the period, the realty index fell by 16% while the Sensex gained 13%.
The negative impact of the tapering housing demand may be partially offset by the gradual recovery in the commercial segment. The pick-up in business activity last year has led to a revival of demand for commercial properties, especially in the past six months. The segment was previously struggling even as residential housing demand bounced back from the slowdown.
As much as 70% of commercial realty demand is for office space, followed by retail leasing. Under office space, demand is dominated by the information technology (IT) sector followed by banking & financial sectors. Better growth in these sectors over the past few quarters has improved demand for office space across various pockets of the country.

BLM Releases Review of Applications for Permit to Drill, Proposals for Drilling Islands, and Development Areas within the Designated Potash Area.
A new Secretarial Order to promote orderly and safe development of oil and gas and potash development in the Designated Potash Area in southeastern New Mexico was announced by Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar on December 3, 2012.
The Designated Potash Area (DPA) is an area in southeastern New Mexico that has large deposits of potash, oil, and gas. Potash is a potassium-bearing mineral used primarily for fertilizer.
In 1939, the DPA was established by Order of the Secretary of the Interior, under the authority of the Mineral Leasing Act. The Order withdrew approximately 43,000 acres from oil and gas leasing and development to protect potash deposits. Subsequent Orders changed the acreage and management strategies of the DPA. The DPA currently covers a total area of approximately 497,002 acres and includes 350,617 acres of BLM managed land where leasing of oil and gas and potash occurs.
Concurrent development of oil and gas and potash in the DPA has led to a long history of conflicts between the two industries. The 2012 Secretarial Order addresses new technologies and other issues associated with oil, gas, and potash leasing and development within the DPA. The revisions are designed to promote the efficient development of the resources, while minimizing conflict between the industries and ensuring the safety of operations. The 2012 Order supersedes a previous Order issued in 1986.

The U.S. House of Representatives will reconvene on Sunday as the end-of-the-year deadline for the fiscal cliff looms, sources told CNN on Sunday.
Senate leaders argued Thursday over how even to debate a possible fiscal agreement, four days before the deadline for a deal to avoid automatic tax hikes and spending cuts set to take effect in the new year.
The back-and-forth occurred as President Barack Obama and the Senate returned to Washington after a Christmas break, and House leaders announced the chamber would reconvene on Sunday for what will be the final days of the 112th Congress, before a new legislature is sworn in next week.
Republicans insisted on more details about a scaled-back proposal first mentioned last Friday by President Barack Obama, with Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell saying his side won't "write a blank check for anything Senate Democrats put forward just because we find ourselves at edge of the cliff."
A Senate Democratic leadership member also said more details would be provided, but two White House officials said Obama will not send a fiscal cliff measure to Congress.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, argued it was Republicans who undermined an agreement by refusing to compromise on their opposition to higher tax rates for the wealthy.
"We are in same situation we've been in for a long time," Reid said of what he described as GOP intransigence that prevented progress on deficit reduction for the past two years. "We can't negotiate with ourselves."
Economists warn the full impact of the fiscal cliff could spark another recession. In signs of the potential effect, the Consumer Confidence Index sank.
Last week, Obama called for a scaled-back plan that would prevent tax increases on middle-class Americans and extend unemployment benefits.
McConnell told Obama in a telephone conversation Wednesday that he must see details of a proposal before he can figure out any process for a Senate vote.
However, a senior Democratic Senate source told CNN on Thursday that it was McConnell who must first work things out with House Speaker John Boehner on how legislation will proceed before Democrats provide more details of their plan.
Hopes for a so-called grand bargain that would address the nation's chronic federal deficits and debt appeared dashed for now, leaving it to the White House and legislators to work out a less ambitious agreement.
The principal dispute continues to be over taxes, specifically the demand by Obama and Democrats to extend most of the tax cuts passed under President George W. Bush while allowing higher rates of the 1990s to return on top income brackets.
Obama campaigned for reelection on keeping the current lower tax rates on family income up to $250,000, which he argues would protect 98% of Americans and 97% of small businesses from rates that increase on income above that level.
Republicans oppose any kind of increase in tax rates, and Boehner suffered the political indignity last week of offering a compromise -- a $1 million threshold for the higher rates to kick in -- that his colleagues refused to support because it raised taxes and had no chance of passing the Senate.
With House Republicans unable to resolve the impasse, the focus shifted to the Democratic majority in the Senate to come up with a way forward that could pass the House and get signed into law by Obama.
Last Friday, the president proposed the scaled-back agreement that included his call for extending tax cuts on households with incomes under $250,000, as well as an extension of unemployment insurance.
Little if any negotation occurred since then, and Reid expressed doubt Thursday that enough time remained to reach an agreement.
"I don't know, time-wise, how it can happen now," he said as he opened the Senate's first session back from the holiday.
Possible scenarios include a short-term deal now, setting up continued negotiations next year when Obama and a new Congress that convenes in January confront a need to raise the federal debt ceiling and approving further spending to keep the government funded.
Another possibility would be a short-term deal reached after January 1 that would change the political calculus by having legislators vote for cutting the higher tax rates from the fiscal cliff -- a much more palatable exercise than the current debate over allowing top rates to increase.
Retiring Republican Rep. Steve LaTourette of Ohio told CNN on Thursday that such an outcome would be entirely due to politics.
"Nobody is willing to pull the trigger" on an agreement because "everybody wants to play the blame game," he said. "This blame game is about to put us over the edge."
In his remarks Thursday, Reid said Boehner wanted to wait until after the new House re-elects him as speaker on January 3 before proceeding with a compromise that will need support from Democrats as well as Republicans in order to pass.
Boehner was "more concerned about his speakership than putting the country on firm financial footing," Reid charged.

By Kevin Wilson: Freedom New Mexico
Andrew Helton has been named the 11th coach in the history of men's basketball at Eastern New Mexico University.
Currently an assistant at Division-I South Alabama, Helton will be introduced in a 9 a.m. Tuesday press conference at Greyhound Arena. The Division-II school, a member of the Lone Star Conference, will be his first head coaching job.
"Eastern is fortunate to employ a coach the caliber of Andrew Helton," said university president Steven Gamble, who announced the hiring Monday morning. "In addition to a very strong basketball background, he had enthusiastic references. He emerged as our top choice from a strong pool of candidates, and I am certain he will be successful."
Consider Ron Arrow one of those references. Helton worked under Arrow for six years at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and two more at South Alabama.
"You're getting probably the most thorough basketball coach, hardest worker that you all could have possibly gotten. In my opinion, you couldn't have gotten a better coach and you couldn't have gotten a better person.
"He'll represent your university, your community in the best way possible. As far as basketball, he's one of the best X's and O's guy."
Helton declined interview requests prior to the press conference.
In Helton's first season as an assistant with the Jaguars, the team posted a school-record 26 wins, won the Sun Belt Conference Eastern Division title and earned a bid to the NCAA Tournament.
Helton and Arrow also won the Southland Conference title with Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. Arrow said Helton was vital in the team's 107-64 record over six seasons because he was always on top of things.
"Whenver we went over other team's stuff, he had the practice team ready to exemplify the stuff they were going to do."
Helton replaces Shawn Scanlan, who was let go after compiling a 102-143 record in nine season. Helton was chosen over Richard Davis, head coach at Division II St. Joseph's in Indiana, and Jacksonville College coach and former ENMU assistant Greg Young.
"It's not that the other candidates did anything to lose," said Don Elder, an ENMU history professor who chaired the search committee. "It's just that Helton was so good, it won him the job."
Unlike Young or Davis, Helton did not have "head coach" on his resume. But Elder said his organization and how he planned for basketball, academics and community involvement outweighed any stigma of inexperience.
"You never know how good a person is going to be until they get their first job," Elder said. "But it's self-defeating if you never give a person that first chance."
Replacing Helton won't come easy for the Jaguars, but Arrow knew Helton was ready to run his own program and it was just a matter of what job he'd take.
"It's like losing a part of your family," Arrow said. "You hate to see them go, but you know it's best for them."

From the start of the meeting there were calls for the regents to reconsider hiring a separate chancellor for the University of Hawaii Manoa campus, and paying outgoing chancellor Virgina Hinshaw about $250,000 for a year-long sabbatical.
"Our tuition has just increased and the university is claiming poverty. To pay someone such a large amount of money, which is more than a graduate student makes in a year, in one month -- it is a little irresponsible," said Tim Robinson of the Graduate Student Organization.
"I don't not believe in principle there should be a chancellor for Manoa," said UH faculty union leader J.N. Musto.
But the criticism that it was bad policy for a public university fell on deaf ears.
"That was the right decision. It was well researched, and it was a unanimous decision by the board," said board chairman Eric Martinson.
The board also voted unanimously to pay the new Manoa chancellor Tom Apple about $439,000. That is $100,000 more than his predecessor.
At least two regents were prepared to vote no on Thursday.
"It was my concern on the salary escalation and what it may do to salary compression and it comes at a time when the state is still going through economic difficulties right now," said Chuck Gee.
But after almost four hours behind closed doors, they changed their minds.
The vote was unanimous to support the new chancellor at the new salary.
"It is a risk with great possibilities and great potential to move forward," said Board of Regents member Artemio Baxa.
Instead of a contract, Apple will receive a five year letter of appointment, which is how Greenwood described is the case with chancellors.
"They may be given a five year term but they are evaluated on yearly and serve at the will of the president and the consent of the board
"I do believe Apple is worth every penny we are paying him," Greenwood said.
I hope we will be talking about what will bring to the game so to speak, and not just what he cost."

April 10, 2013 —
The task of an advisory committee was discussed at the Town of Callicoon town meeting on April 8, in Jeffersonville. Supervisor Tom Bose said the committee will be charged with advising the town board about whether it should change, delete or let stand language in the proposed comprehensive plan that suggests gas drilling may be part of the future of the town.
The language regarding gas drilling has been a source of controversy in the town, and in a rare move the comprehensive plan was rejected by the Sullivan County Department of Planning over the issue of gas drilling. The town could choose to move forward with the plan anyway with a supermajority vote, but has not done so at this point.
It's not clear who will be appointed to the committee, or even if the committee will actually be formed, because at the meeting several people suggested it was the responsibility of the board members to make the decision about the gas drilling language.

Diebenkorn by Curb Scholar Keith Berquist
Posted on: July 29th, 2013 | 0 Comments
A couple weekends back I went to the De Young museum on a Sunday afternoon, just to check it out. They had a special exhibit on Richard Diebenkorn, who was this abstract impressionist painter from the 1950's-60's living in the SF Bay Area. I'd never really been a fan of abstract or modern art up to this point. I always found it undecipherable, inaccessible, unimpressive. But I remember reading something at the very beginning of the exhibit, a caption under the first painting, describing Diebenkorn's artistic process. It said that he would start by dirtying the canvas because he couldn't penetrate the white with his art while the surface was still pure; it felt like sacrilege. Once he had dirtied up the canvas, he felt free to work, and then he would just paint. He had no idea what the final product was that he was working towards. If he ever felt hung up or frustrated at a certain point, he would use little tricks, like adding his initials or other symbols into the middle of the painting to use as a new jumping off point. He would paint over things three or four times, making multiple drafts on the same canvas, until finally, it was done.
This exhibit changed the way I think about creating. The creative process is as important, if not more important, than the final product. Diebenkorn's work evolved on the canvas. For him, creativity involved motion, experience, dynamics. All my previous attempts at songwriting, writing, and essentially any other creative process involved efficiently moving from point A to point B, every word trying to prove one point. But what if it didn't have to be that way? What if the final product didn't have to make sense, there didn't have to be some definite outcome, so long as you felt the experience along the way? What if the sound and shape of words, the images they generate, could render sentiments and feelings and actions without some overarching message?
I guess what I'm really describing is play; creation for creation's sake, or maybe creation for the sake of learning, or perhaps even creation for the sake of happiness. We spend so much of our lives driven by objectives, that we rarely get the chance to just play. Sometimes the reward is in the journey, not the outcome.

As part of their scholarship, Curb Scholars must intern the summer before their senior year at an organization or agency of their choice to explore the role of art and creativity in our world. Scholar Keith Berquist describes his experience interning at a music venue in San Francisco, this past summer.
Sometimes you have to see someone a few times, to see him or her for the first time. There's the cliché version: you learn something new about someone and your perception of him or her suddenly changes because you discover that person's "real" self. That's not what I'm talking about, although sometimes the two can go hand in hand. No, what I mean is a much more literal, physical version of that, a transformation where something causes you to actually take a look at that person's face, and all of a sudden you realize the totality of their features. Like a gust of icy fresh air rushing through your lungs; it awakens the senses. And you start to understand that in every prior interaction, that face was a signal, a landmark, a reference point. You memorized it and stored it out of utility. But now, now the face is a human face. The face is the name and the stories and the emotions and the connections. That face has been united with the rest of the person.
I have spent sixteen years of my life living in and around San Francisco. And for those past sixteen years I saw the city the same way I saw those unfamiliar faces. Neighborhoods and streets were only a means to a destination defined by its purpose. The Sunset District was just where I went to school. Nob Hill was just where I lived. Van Ness was just the Guitar Center on the corner of California and the movie theatre on the corner of Geary. And yet this summer… I see the face of San Francisco. I've been getting lost in its eyes, in grubby, piss-stained streets of the Mission and the shade of palm trees along the Embarcadero. I'm not living in San Francisco, I'm living in San Francisco. The freedom and the independence to just be here has opened up a second city to me.
The places and faces in our lives are defined by the context in which we discover them, and I will now remember this summer as the touchstone moment where I embraced every detail and every historical particle this city has to offer. San Francisco will be my infinite playground.
I guess it would be improper if I didn't start with the facts. Just the facts. If you didn't know, I'm working this summer at a music venue in San Francisco called the Café du Nord. Capacity is 250 people, categorizing it as a small club in the concert world. We average around 27 shows a month. The staff is basically two in the office full time, plus a couple part time people like myself and a couple more full-time who work outside the office. Because the operation is so small, I do a little bit of everything. I've run box office, handled contracts, forwarded finals and ticket counts to agents, booked bands, changed lightbulbs, moved kegs, pretty much anything that needs to get done. A renaissance man of the music world.
This was what I really wanted all along. I've dreamt the last 4 years or so about owning my own concert venues. My ideas of how it will look and function have gone through innumerable stages, but the bottom-line remains the same: I want to put on concerts. And what better way to learn than to pop the hood on a small venue and look at each little piece of the machine one by one to see how they all interact when placed together.
And although the whole process is integral to understanding how a venue operates, perhaps the one piece that has always grabbed my eye the most was booking. It combines the opportunity for creativity: the ability to design a concert billing, to share undiscovered talent, to express myself through the medium of another artist's work, with the left brain tasks of finance and negotiation and contract settlement. The real reward, to me, is giving a dedicated audience the gift of exposing the next big thing before they even know who it is. But I've quickly begun to learn that this "glamorous" portion of the job is as much a curse as it is a blessing. I spend 5-7 hours a day listening to scatterings of new bands. Submissions, suggestions, blogs, magazines, they come from every corner of the internet. And I'm slowly learning the obvious fact that to become a tastemaker, to learn what's good, you have to learn what is bad as well.
I chose to pursue a career in music because I have a passion for it. I've always experienced a certain wonder and fascination when it came to any and all music, even music I didn't like; it was like magic to me. But having to not only listen to, but also judge dozens of bands a day (and there are some really bad bands out there) has tuned this precious thing into some rusty faded hue of its former self. I'm beginning to replace some of that marvel with cynicism. Maybe ignorance is bliss. Maybe it's not worth it to learn the good from the bad. Is this what it takes to have "good ears"? I guess the solution is to look for new ways to recapture that splendor, to judge without being judgmental. I see so many people in this industry who have spent their lives working around music and still share that same spark today. I only hope I can learn to cope with the overwhelming like they did, because I can't let a job I took because of passion take that passion from me.
I asked Steven J. Tepper to respond to Kyle Thetford's "Does Art Help the Economy?"
Posted on: July 17th, 2013 | 0 Comments
Happy mid-July! Here at Curb, we're constantly hearing and reading ideas and wondering what each other thinks of them. Yesterday as I read "Does Art Help the Economy?" by Kyle Thetford, (Atlantic Monthly — find it here), I wondered if Steven J. Tepper had a moment to let me know what he thought. Turns out, he did! His response follows:
We can celebrate that Britain's cultural budget this year did not suffer dramatic cuts. There is a deep longing in the arts community to believe such policy decisions reflect an enlightened understanding of the intrinsic benefits of the arts. Related, there remains a deep antipathy toward the marriage of the arts with the economy – for more than 100 years, arts advocates have held fast to the belief in "art-for-arts" sake. But, the argument hashed out in Kyle Thetford's column in the Atlantic is as old as tea leaves – framed as an either/or proposition when instead it should be a both/and proposition. The arts are both an important part of the economy AND they bring intrinsic benefits. In economic terms, the arts may be better investments than other pure economic drivers, like a waste disposal plant, because they have positive externalities for their communities in addition to their direct economic impact. The arts do spur innovation, entrepreneurialism, intellectual property and economic growth. But they also create pride, connection, understanding, enjoyment, and wellbeing. But, we would be naïve to think that policy makers will support the arts for these intrinsic benefits. Policy, for better or worse, is almost exclusively debated in economic terms – optimizing growth, productivity, and jobs.
I wish we lived in a world where other values were prominent in policy decisions. But we don't, and the arts world can yell until they are blue in the face, but if they want public investment they have to walk in the policy door dressed up as Economic Man. There are only a handful of policy areas where we can talk about intrinsic value – saving historic and natural landmarks is one such area. But, in these cases, policy makers and the public at large can visibly see what non-intervention looks like – a forest, canyon, park, lake, monument might disappear, be destroyed, and become unavailable or inaccessible. Under such conditions, intrinsic value arguments can win the day. But, people are surrounded by art in their everyday life – music, film, books, fashion, and theater. If anything, most people feel overwhelmed by the amount of choice they have when considering their cultural options. Intrinsic arguments under such conditions simply will not fly. So, whether we like it or not, we are left with arguments about investments, innovation, entrepreneurship, and jobs.
Thetford is wrong to suggest the U.S. needs to look across the pond to learn the value of economic arguments –we have been using these arguments for years. Our out-going NEA chair, Rocco Landsman, has spent the past four years describing and defending artists as workers who bolster the economy. Americans for the Arts, our largest advocacy organization that promotes public investments in the arts, has been conducting and using economic impact arguments for close to 20 years. We get it. Maybe someday, policy leaders can credibly use "quality of life" arguments to defend and promote public investments; but for now, Economic Man stands tall and speaks with the loudest voice.
Thanks, Steven!

All the time, things are happening. It is hard to record them in such a way as sitting by the passenger window in our minds and watching them, the things, flit by.
In Puerto Rico we stopped on the top of a hill in Maricao and it was a green, lush place that we could see, it did not end. From the top of the tower we watched homes and palms dig into the cliff side, their teeth strong and hungry. The still frame, this moment of our watching, did not let us see the many lives and feelings that daily bled their way across the landscape. We said, the air up here is cool and fresh. It was.
Six weeks before I flew in a plane out of New Orleans and thought about my mother. Bayou spread beneath in watery veins. Green earth sang in small islands there and there. Then clouds moved in, and still could I see through their gentle whiteness. I said, this is what it must be to be in the arms of God.
The day before we boiled crayfish live and broke apart their bodies with our hands. They had soft, cartoon eyes that could not see, amassed and dead as they were.
And then some weeks later we bought a terrarium from an old woman. The woman who sold the terrarium had gray hair and thin hands. She told us this, the making of terrariums, was a thing she did often. A god she had become through hewing worlds. I pictured her home. Glass walls and piles of stones. A kitchen rife with living things. At night, her refrigerator moans—the resting place of so much on the verge of decay.
But there is likely no God and so I must settle for his name and an aircraft. A feeling and a view.
Driving along the coast in Puerto Rico we see the ocean mawing at the land. It is a most beautiful thing to see. I plug the image into the constellation I am living.
We hop from node to node of importance and in-between we see the view below. Oh world, how green or yellow or brown you have made yourself. Oh feeling, that I might place you upon the world and say, you are the skin of my mother and you now, her bones.
I flew in an airplane into the hands of God and asked of God, what things you have made, tell me. He did not reply because he is not real or because there is no God or because a life is a life either way.
The greenness of the world signifies its continual decline and growth. When we, as humans die our skin becomes blue and mottled. Perhaps we are saying, hello sky. Perhaps it is nothing more than blue, we and our blood returning to the air, the water, the place we have always known as home.

Dear members,

A whole chapter just for one page, 2/5.
That was a good chapter. We finally saw how Rin died...i can't believe Kakashi killed her i believe there's something more to it which will be explained later on. And we get a little bit of a hint about the fight with Minato. After that, Obito should be pissed with him too, as he wasn't there to protect his students. Madara seemed pretty overconfident when he said : you will come back . Maybe he planned all the Mist act or he knew about it...
nice episode ..605
Nice early release though ^^
Holy crap, Kakashi killed Rin!
A possible explanation for the whole "You let Rin die" thing is this: Kakashi was either forced to stab her under Genjutsu or accidently stabbed her. Then afterwards, he chose to finish fighting the Mist Ninja rather than getting Rin to a medical-nin. As in, she might have survived with immediate medical attention, but he didn't get her there in time because he was busy fighting. Hence, he "let her die".
I doubt that Kakashi killed Rin under any orders; his whole shtick after Obito "died" was "don't betray your friends, screw the rules". Kakashi wouldn't have killed a friend even under orders, at least not a team mate, anyway.
Now I really wanna read 605, lol.
I'm completely mind ****ed here as to what is really going down. At first I totally thought this was Madara setting shit up, and used Zetsu clones and what not to get Obito on his side. I mean it is Mist ninjas and we know Madara/Tobi is involved with them at some point around this time. Madara even hints that he knows some crazy stuff is gonna happen, so it seems so obvious that Madara is setting things up.
But there are other things in the chapter that don't make sense if that is the case, like Mr. Spiral telling Obito that he should fight instead of Obito. Why bring that up? Mr. Spiral seemed genuinely concerned for Obito, which he wouldn't be if he knew Madara's plans. I guess he might have been kept out of the loop, but idk. Also I really don't think that Kakashi was a Zetsu clone because of Obito sharing vision with Kakashi's sharingan, it wouldn't make sense if it was a clone. Rin totally could have been, but I still don't think that is the case.
Some people are saying genjutsu on Kakashi, but look at the last page. Kakashi totally looks like he knew what he was doing, and he was crying because he had to kill a friend. As to why he had to kill her, no clue. She could have been a Mist spy or betraying the Leaf somehow. But then there is the problem of Obito telling Kakashi that he didn't protect Rin, which he totally would have said because he killed Rin.
Idk, guess I'll wait till someone smarter than me makes a good theory and believe that till next weeks chapter and toss everything out the window again.
Pretty bad chapter. I believe there were only a few things worth noting:
Obito's and Kabuto's lair was the same one Madara used.
Something happened to Obito's vision. I suspect either genjutsu or that two Sharingan can be linked when in close proximity.
Madara was certain Obito would return.
Obito has been using Madara's clothes and weapons.
That's it. Wow, I'm disappoint. (Yes, disappoint. Not disappointed)
kakashi was crying so he had to kill her or it was a mistake. The fourth told him not to use the chidori anymore he was to fast and it was imperfect. Should have listen kakashi should have listened.

1. Obito ( was considered deceased until recently)

He is the BEST.TEACHER.EVER.
Obito did not listen to whatever he said. Rin was just sakura of that era
lol its obvious those arent the real kakashi and rin,
wheres minato? duh hes with his students, aka the real kakashi and rin.
I doubt she was a traitor

I agree. Kakashi should also stab Sakura with a Raikiri.
Minato gave Kakashi a secret mission considering Rin's death hence why Minato wasn't even there. She was probably a spy for the hidden mist. There we go this also explains how Obito/Kakashi got their MS, this is the real deal no Zetsu clones or genjutsu involved.
well at least one thing is pretty much being hinted at is that the spiral zetsu could have been the one fighting minato as he said he was stronger then obito

Lame chapter. i mean the only thing relevant was on the last page, one week for this
Good chapter, Kishi made Rin's death much better than expected. Madara says ''you will come back'' how can he know? Is it possible that Madara can have visions like Tobi just had?
And nice to see Kishi bringing up that Senju and Uchiha brings you a power that you've never seen, it's the power of Rikudou and Tobi have that.

Even the new D7000 is short.
How? Expand, please.
It seems that Nikon, and if someone would confirm or not this information is welcome, has not licenced the algorythms employed in the d7000 for pro use, wich means that you can not shoot commercial movie with it or at your own risk. I'm not 100% sure of this info.
NOT TRUE.Anyone who uses the H.264 codec for commercial use has to pay a royalty ... you don't get a free pass for buying a Canon 7D.A payment isn't necessary from Nikon to the holders of the H.264 patents ... the payments go from the content producer to the h.264 consortium.
The whole story is borderline absurd. How is the owner of a website selling videos going to pay his/her 2$/20$/200$ - where does one get the forms/send the money?And come to think of it, if the video is split into several pieces, are the 2 cents due for the work as a whole or for each file?Ah, the wonders of the 21st century....
Thanks for the link. So basically, no royalties due for pieces that are less than 12 minutes if sold individually and no royalties under 100.000 users for subscription services.
The in-camera processing power for that would have to be pretty stout, Luke. You think anyone will be able to pull it off?Will the quality of video processed in that way really make a big difference? When you consider that Hollywood is already using VDSLRs for mainstream production, does the quality need to be improved significantly? And there really isn't a need in video for the same quality as in a still image due to the moving nature of video and the fact that with current TVs we're spreading 1280 or 1920 pixels over screens that are significantly larger than our computer screens; many of which now have HD resolution. Arguably, quality is already on par with broadcast quality cameras (not cinema cameras).

Editor's note: The authors of Access Cookbook, 2nd Edition have selected four recipes offering practical solutions to common problems Access users face. Read on and learn how to perform a mail merge from Access to Word, create a web front end to an Access table, build an object inventory, and export columns to an HTML table.

Access Cookbook
To document your application, you'd like to be able to create a list of all the objects in your databases, including their owners, date of creation, and date of last update. You're sure you can do it manually, but is there a better way to create a table containing all this information?
Access's Data Access Objects (DAO) can give you the information you need. By programmatically working your way through each of Access's container collections, you can add a row to an inventory table for each object in your application, storing information about that object. You should be able to use the techniques for this operation to write your own code for enumerating other collections in Access. There are a few tricks along the way, which this solution discusses, but in general this is a straightforward project.
To create an object inventory for your applications, take only two steps:
Import the form zsfrmInventory from 04-02.MDB into your own application.
Figure 4-4. The inventory-creating form once it's done its work on a sample database
TIP: This example form includes the Access system tables, which you may never have encountered. These tables are part of every Access database and are not cause for alarm. You can view them in the Database Explorer by choosing the Tools → Options menu and turning on the Show System Objects option.
How this solution works is a lot more interesting than the final product. The object inventory itself can be useful, but the steps involved in creating the inventory may be more useful to you in the long run. All the code examples used in this section come from the form module attached to zsfrmInventory (in 04-02.MDB).
When the form loads, or when you click the Rebuild Object Inventory button on zsfrmInventory, you execute the following code. (The "zs" prefix, by the way, reminds you that zsfrmInventory is a "system" form, used only by your application. The z forces this form to sort to the bottom of the database container so you won't get it confused with your "real" forms.)
Private Sub RebuildInventory( )
On Error GoTo HandleErr
DoCmd.Hourglass True
Me.lstInventory.RowSource = ""
Call CreateInventory
Me.lstInventory.RowSource = "SELECT ID, Container, Name, " & _
"Format([DateCreated],'mm/dd/yy (h:nn am/pm)') AS [Creation Date], " & _
"Format([lastUpdated],'mm/dd/yy (h:nn am/pm)') AS [Last Updated], " & _
"Owner FROM zstblInventory ORDER BY Container, Name;"
DoCmd.Hourglass False
Exit Sub
Resume ExitHere
End Sub
code turns on the hourglass cursor and sets the main list
box's RowSource property to
(It must do this because it's about to call the
CreateInventory procedure, which attempts to
delete the table holding the data. If the list box were still bound
to that table, the code couldn't delete the
table—it would be locked!) It then calls the
CreateInventory subroutine. This procedure fills
zstblInventory with the object inventory, and it can take a few
seconds to run. When it's done, the code resets the
list box's RowSource property, resets the cursor,
and exits.
The CreateInventory subroutine first creates the zstblInventory table. If CreateTable succeeds, CreateInventory then calls the AddInventory procedure for each of the useful Access containers (Tables, Relationships, Forms, Reports, Scripts, and Modules) that represent user objects. (Tables and queries are lumped together in one container. As you'll see, it will take a bit of extra effort to distinguish them.) Because each of the AddInventory procedure calls writes to the status bar, CreateInventory clears out the status bar once it's done, using the Access SysCmd function. The following code fragment shows the CreateInventory subroutine:
Private Sub CreateInventory( )
If (CreateTable( )) Then
' These routines use the status line,
' so clear it once everyone's done.
Call AddInventory("Tables")
Call AddInventory("Forms")
Call AddInventory("Reports")
Call AddInventory("Scripts")
Call AddInventory("Modules")
Call AddInventory("Relationships")
' Clear out the status bar.
Call SysCmd(acSysCmdClearStatus)
MsgBox "Unable to create zstblInventory."
End If
End Sub
The CreateTable
function prepares the zstblInventory table to hold the current
database's inventory. The code in
CreateTable first attempts to delete
zstblInventory (using the
Table SQL statement). If the table exists, the
code will succeed. If it doesn't exist, the code
will trigger a runtime error, but the error-handling code will allow
the procedure to continue anyway. CreateTable
then recreates the table from scratch by using a data definition
language (DDL) query to create the table. (See the Solution in Recipe 1.15 for more information on DDL queries.)
CreateTable returns True if it succeeds or False
if it fails. The following is the complete source code for the
CreateTable function:
Private Function CreateTable( ) As Boolean
' Return True on success, False otherwise.
Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim strSQL As String
On Error GoTo HandleErr
Set db = CurrentDb( )
db.Execute "DROP TABLE zstblInventory"
' Create zstblInventory.
strSQL = "CREATE TABLE zstblInventory (Name Text (255), " & _
"Container Text (50), DateCreated DateTime, " & _
"LastUpdated DateTime, Owner Text (50), " & _
"ID AutoIncrement Constraint PrimaryKey PRIMARY KEY)"
db.Execute strSQL
' If you got here, you succeeded!
CreateTable = True
Exit Function
Select Case Err
Case 3376, 3011 ' Table or Object not found
Resume Next
Case Else
CreateTable = False
End Select
Resume ExitHere
End Function
The AddInventory subroutine is the heart of the inventory-creating operation. In Access, each database maintains a group of container objects, each of which contains a number of documents. These documents are the saved objects of the container's type, such as tables, relationships, forms, reports, scripts (macros), or modules. AddInventory looks at each document in each container, adds a new row to zstblInventory for each document, and copies the information contained in the document into the new row of the table. (All the code examples in this section come from AddInventory in zsfrmInventory's module.)
The first step AddInventory performs is to set up the necessary DAO object variables:
Set db = CurrentDb
Set con = db.Containers(strContainer)
Set rst = db.OpenRecordset("zstblInventory")
The code then loops through each document in the given container, gathering information about the documents:
For Each doc In con.Documents
Next doc
For each document in the Tables container, the code must first determine whether the given document is a table or query. To do this, it calls the IsTable function, which attempts to retrieve a reference to the requested object from the database's TableDefs collection. If this doesn't trigger a runtime error, that table must exist. Because attempting to retrieve a query's name from the TableDefs collection will certainly fail, you can use IsTable to determine if an element of the Tables container (which contains both tables and queries) is a table. The isTable function appears as follows:
Private Function IsTable(ByVal strName As String) As Boolean
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim tdf As DAO.TableDef
On Error Resume Next
Set db = CurrentDb( )
' See the following note for information on why this
' is commented out.
' db.Tabledefs.Refresh
Set tdf = db.TableDefs(strName)
IsTable = (Err.Number = 0)
End Function
TIP: Normally, before retrieving information about any Access persistent object collection (TableDefs, QueryDefs, etc.), you must refresh the collection. Because Access doesn't keep these collections up to date unless necessary, it's possible that a table recently added by a user in the user interface might not yet have been added to the TableDefs collection. In this case, you'll be calling IsTable repeatedly. To speed the operation of zsfrmInventory, the IsTable function used here does not use the Refresh method each time it's called; it counts on the caller to have refreshed the collection. In almost any other use than this one, you'd want to uncomment the call to the Refresh method in the previous code example and allow the code to refresh the collection before checking for the existence of a particular table.
This code fragment fills a string variable, strType, with the type of the current document. The type is one of Tables, Relationships, Queries, Forms, Reports, Scripts, or Modules.
If strContainer = "Tables" Then
If IsTable(doc.Name) Then
strType = "Tables"
strType = "Queries"
End If
strType = strContainer
End If
The value of strType will be written to zstblInventory along with the document information.
Caching Object References
Note that the previous code sample uses an object variable,
doc, to refer to the current document. The
Because later code will refer to this particular document a number of
times, it's more efficient to set up this direct
reference than to ask Access to parse the general reference,
Once AddInventory has determined the correct value for strType, it can add the information to zstblInventory. AddInventory retrieves the various properties of the document referred to by doc and copies them to the current row in zstblInventory, referred to by rst. Once it's done, it uses the recordset's Update method to commit the new row. This process is illustrated in the following code fragment from the AddInventory procedure:
rst("Container") = strType
rst("Owner") = doc.Owner
rst("Name") = doc.Name
rst("DateCreated") = doc.DateCreated
rst("LastUpdated") = doc.LastUpdated
The list box on zsfrmInventory has the following expression as its RowSource property:
SELECT ID, Container, Name,
Format([DateCreated],"mm/dd/yy (h:nn am/pm)") AS [Creation Date],
Format([lastUpdated],"mm/dd/yy (h:nn am/pm)") AS [Last Updated],
Owner FROM zstblInventory ORDER BY Container, Name;"
There are two issues to consider here. First, the SQL string used as the RowSource pulls data from zstblInventory. It's quite possible, though, that when you load the form, zstblInventory doesn't exist. To avoid this problem, we saved the form with the list box's RowSource set to a null value. When the form loads, it doesn't attempt to retrieve the data until the code has had time to create the table, as you can see in the RebuildInventory procedure shown earlier.
The second thing to bear in mind is that Access doesn't always keep the collections completely up-to-date: you may find deleted objects in the collections. (These deleted objects have names starting with "~TMPCLP".) You probably won't want to include these objects in the inventory, so the code that loops through the collections specifically excludes objects with names that start with "~TMPCLP". To determine which objects are deleted, the code calls the IsTemp function, as shown in the following code fragment:
For Each doc In con.Documents
If Not IsTemp(doc.Name) Then
End If
Next doc
Private Function IsTemp(ByVal strName As String)
IsTemp = Left(strName, 7) = "~TMPCLP"
End Function
If you want to remove system objects from your inventory, you'll need to check each object and, if it's a system object, skip it in the display. You can use an object's Attributes property to see if it's a system object. See Access's online help for more information.
You might wonder why this application uses the Access containers to retrieve information about tables and queries, since this requires more effort than if the code had just used the TableDefs and QueryDefs collections. It makes sense to use the containers because the TableDefs/QueryDefs collections don't contain information about the owners of the objects, one of the items of information this application is attempting to track.
You can also use the collections provided by Access, such as AllForms, AllReports, AllTables, which can be useful for gathering information on your objects. But these too lack ownership information, which is part of the Jet database engine's security system and therefore must be accessed using the Jet Containers and Documents collections. The AllForms and AllReports collections do contain additional useful information, however, including an IsLoaded property for each of the AccessObjects in the collections.
For more information on using DAO in Access databases, see How Do I Use Data Access Objects (DAO) in New Databases? in the Preface.
You'd like to be able to do a mail merge to Word using Access data, without having to launch the mail merge from Word using its mail merge features.
Access allows you to output data directly to any format using the DoCmd.OutputTo functionality. You can then run a mail merge from Word to a predefined Word template that contains the merge codes.
First you must create the Word template that holds your merge codes; then you can write the code in Access that performs the merge. The sample application 12-04.MDB contains a table and a query that retrieves the data to be sent to Word.
To perform a mail merge from Access to Word, follow these steps:
In Access, create the query that you will use for your data. Copy the rows from the datasheet view of the query and paste them into a Word document.
Save the Word document in the same folder as the Access database. The sample application uses the name qryCustomers.doc.
In Word, create a template by choosing File New Template from the menu. Fill in the plain text for your main merge document.
Choose Tools → Mail Merge from the menu to add the merge fields to the template. Use the Active Document option and select the Word document you created in Step 2. This will add the merge toolbar to your application.
Insert the merge codes for the fields in your template, then save the template in the same folder as qryCustomers.doc and the Access database.
In Access, write the code to perform the mail merge. Declare two module-level constants for the name of the template and the name of the query:
Private Const conTemplate As String = "acbMailMerge.dot"
Private Const conQuery As String = "qryCustomers"
Figure 12-6. Set a reference to the Word library
Create a procedure to perform the mail merge. Here's the complete listing:
Public Sub MailMerge( )
Dim strPath As String
Dim strDataSource As String
Dim doc As Word.Document
Dim wrdApp As Word.Application
On Error GoTo HandleErrors
' Delete the rtf file, if it already exists.
strPath = FixPath(CurrentProject.Path)
strDataSource = strPath & conQuery & ".doc"
Kill strDataSource
' Export the data to rtf format.
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputQuery, conQuery, _
acFormatRTF, strDataSource, False
' Start Word using the mail merge template.
Set wrdApp = New Word.Application
Set doc = wrdApp.Documents.Add(strPath & conTemplate)
' Do the mail merge to a new document.
With doc.MailMerge
.OpenDataSource Name:=strDataSource
.Destination = wdSendToNewDocument
.SuppressBlankLines = True
With .DataSource
.FirstRecord = wdDefaultFirstRecord
.LastRecord = wdDefaultLastRecord
End With
If .State = wdMainAndDataSource Then
End If
End With
' Display the mail merge document.
wrdApp.Visible = True
Set doc = Nothing
Set wrdApp = Nothing
Exit Sub
Select Case Err.Number
Case 53 ' File not found.
Resume Next
Case Else
MsgBox Err.Number & ": " & Err.Description
Resume ExitHere
End Select
End Sub
Create the FixPath procedure to handle any backslashes in the pathname:
Private Function FixPath(strPath As String) As String
If Right(strPath, 1) = "\" Then
FixPath = strPath
FixPath = strPath & "\"
End If
End Function
Test the procedure by positioning your cursor anywhere in the MailMerge procedure and pressing the F5 key.
Microsoft Word exposes an Application object, which you can use to launch Word, and a Document object, which you can use to open a new Word document. Once you've launched Word, you can use all its capabilities from your Access application. The following sections outline the steps involved in communicating with Word via Automation.
To be able to work with Word from Access, you must create an object variable to refer to the Word Application object. You also need a Document variable to work with a specific Word document. The following code fragment defines these variables:
Dim doc As Word.Document
Dim wrdApp As Word.Application
The next step is to delete any previously existing data source documents:
strPath = FixPath(CurrentProject.Path)
Kill strPath & conQuery & ".doc"
If the document doesn't exist, the error handler will simply resume on the next statement and create a new document containing the data from the query using the OutputTo method of the DoCmd object:
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputQuery, conQuery, _
acFormatRTF, strPath & conQuery & ".doc", False
launch Word and create a new document based on the mail merge
template, set the Application object to a new instance of
Word.Application. Set the Document object to
create a new document using the Application's Add
method, basing it on your template:
Set wrdApp = New Word.Application
Set doc = wrdApp.Documents.Add(strPath & conTemplate)
Once the document is open, use the Document object's MailMerge method to merge the data to a new document:
With doc.MailMerge
.OpenDataSource Name:=strDataSource
.Destination = wdSendToNewDocument
.SuppressBlankLines = True
With .DataSource
.FirstRecord = wdDefaultFirstRecord
.LastRecord = wdDefaultLastRecord
End With
If .State = wdMainAndDataSource Then
End If
End With
In Access 2002 and later you must use the .OpenDataSource method in your code, but this isn't required in Access 2000.
display the Word documents, set the Application
object's Visible property to
wrdApp.Visible = True
Once the Word document is displayed, clean up by setting the Word
object variables to
Nothing. This frees up the
memory and system resources:
Set doc = Nothing
Set wrdApp = Nothing
You'll see both the new document, named Document1 (based on the template), and the actual merge documents. You can save the merge documents or print them from Word.
While SharePoint is amazing, it has several limitations. First, it requires a server running Windows 2003 server and Windows SharePoint Services. In addition, the Data View Web Part is read-only and provides no mechanism for updating the data. Is there a way to use FrontPage to create a web frontend to your Access data without employing SharePoint?
You can use the FrontPage Database Interface Wizard to create a complete web site that lets you view and edit data from a database table. The trick in this solution is to create the database connection before running the wizard. Follow these steps to create a web site based on the tblAlbums table from the 15-06.MDB database:
WARNING This solution will not work with a SharePoint-enabled web site.
Startup FrontPage 2003.
Select Select File → New... to create a new web site. On the New task pane, click on "One page Web site..." under New Web site.
At the Web Site Templates dialog box click on Empty Web Site and enter the following location for the Web site:
FrontPage creates a new empty Web site on the current machine. If you do not have a Microsoft web server running on the current machine, you will need to change localhost to the name or address of a Microsoft web server for which you have site creation privileges.
Select File → Import. Click on Add File... from the Import dialog box.
Navigate to the 15-06.MDB sample database and click Open. Click OK to add the database to the site.
When you click OK, FrontPage recognizes that you are importing a database and asks you if you wish to create a database connection for the database.
Enter "15-06" for the database connection name and click Yes to import the database and create the database connection.
FrontPage displays an additional dialog box suggesting that the database be moved to the fpdb folder. This is a good practice so you should click Yes.
Select File → New... to create a new web site. On the New task pane, click on "One page Web site..." under New Web site.
At the Web Site Templates dialog box, select Database Interface Wizard, making sure to check the "Add to current Web site" checkbox before clicking on the OK button.
Figure 15-18. The first page of the FrontPage Database Interface Wizard
On the first page of the wizard, under "FrontPage has detected that your page will display best using:", select "ASP.NET" unless you'd prefer to use the older ASP technology.
TIP: You will need to choose ASP instead of ASP.NET if your web server is not configured to support ASP.NET.
Under "This wizard will connect your site to a database. What would you like to do?", select "Use an existing database connection", select "15-06" from the dropdown control, and click Next.
On the second page of the wizard, under "Select the table or view you would like to use for this database connection", select the "tblAlbums" table. Accept the default location for the new files and click Next.
On the third page of the wizard you are given the opportunity to modify the columns to be displayed. There's no need to modify the columns, so click Next.
Figure 15-19. On the fourth page of the Database Interface Wizard you can select which pages you wish for the wizard to create
On the fifth wizard page, you are asked to supply a user name and password to protect the database editor. Enter a user name and password or check the "Don't protect my submission page or my database editor with a username and password" checkbox.
Click Finish to complete the wizard.
The wizard creates a number of pages. Under the 15-06_interface\tblAlbums folder you should find the results_page.aspx page. Select File‡Preview in Browser to display this page in your browser.
Figure 15-20. The database editor page created by the FrontPage Database Interface Wizard
You aren't limited to one database interface per web site. You can rerun the FrontPage Database Interface Wizard as many times as you like, creating set of pages for either different tables within the same Access database or different databases. Just remember to check the "Add to current Web site" checkbox before clicking on the OK button when selecting the Database Interface Wizard template.
The steps in this solution apply when using FrontPage 2003. However, except for a few differences, the steps are virtually identical when using FrontPage 2002. (One big difference: FrontPage 2002 doesn't give you the choice of creating the site using ASP or ASP.NET; it always uses the older ASP technology.)
There are a number of technologies you can use to create a web frontend to an Access database, including: Data Access Pages, SharePoint, ASP.NET, Active Server Pages (ASP), Cold Fusion, PHP, and Java Server Pages (JSP). Data Access Pages are discussed in detail in Chapter 13. In addition, an ASP.NET example is included in Chapter 17.
With a wealth of options, you may be wondering which solution will work best for you. Ultimately, a number of factors will help you arrive at a decision. Do you want a solution that you can create quickly with little or no programming? If so, then you probably will want to use the FrontPage Database Interface Wizard (as demonstrated in this solution), Data Access Pages, or SharePoint. Use SharePoint (along with FrontPage) if you need to create a workgroup-based portal. One disadvantage of the SharePoint approach is that you cannot modify the Access data. You can use the FrontPage Database Interface Wizard, as demonstrated in this solution, to quickly create an ASP- or ASP.NET-based frontend to Access that you can then modify and extend using Visual InterDev (if you are using ASP), or Visual Studio .NET (if you are using ASP.NET). Finally, you can also use Data Access Pages, but only for smaller intranet-based sites.
If you're not averse to programming, you may want to use Visual Studio .NET to create an ASP.NET-based web site, or Visual InterDev to create an ASP-based site. In most cases, ASP.NET is the better choice because it provides a programming object model that is more similar to Access than ASP. Other, non-Microsoft options include Cold Fusion, PHP, and Java Server Pages (JSP). You can also use Macromedia's Dreamweaver MX to create Cold Fusion, PHP, and JSP web sites (as well as ASP- and ASP.NET-based sites).
Keep in mind that Access might not be the most appropriate database to use in many Internet-based scenarios. As mentioned in the Solution in Recipe 15.2, Access works well in small workgroup settings, but if you expect a moderate number (over a dozen or so) of simultaneous users, you'd be better served with a server-based database such as SQL Server.
See Database Power with Microsoft FrontPage Version 2002. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnfp2k2/html/fp_dbpower.asp
You'd like to export data from a table as XML and display it in an HTML table. However, you only want to display selected columns from the table, not the entire table.
If you wish to export data using only selected columns, you can do so with a query, but you can also accomplish this by using an XSLT transform. Using a transform has the added benefit of allowing you to format the data as HTML. Follow these steps to export only the Make and Model data from the Car table and to format the data as an HTML table:
Select the Car table in the database window, right-click and select Export, and choose XML in the Save as type drop-down list at the bottom of the dialog box.
Type a name for the XML file ending with an htm suffix and click the Export button. This example assumes that the output file is named Cars.htm.
Figure 18-15. Selecting the output location and filename
Click the Transforms button. If the transform doesn't show up in the list, click the Add button to browse to it. This example uses a transform named 18-05.xsl. Click OK and OK again. Access will create a Car.htm and a Car.xsd file in the destination directory.
The 18-05.xsl file used to transform the data contains two templates. The dataroot template contains code for creating an HTML document with an HTML table. The Car template creates the rows in the HTML table and cells containing only the Make and Model data. This transform works against a hidden XML document that is created from all the data in the table:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0" >
<xsl:output method="html" version="4.0" indent="yes" />
<xsl:template match="dataroot">
<xsl:apply-templates select="Car" />
<xsl:template match="Car">
<td><xsl:value-of select="Make" /></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="Model" /></td>
When you view Car.htm in a browser, you can see that the data is displayed in an HTML table, as shown in Figure 18-16.
Figure 18-16. The output generated by the XSL transform when viewed in a browser
Choose View > Source from the menu and you'll see the following HTML:
<td>Mini Cooper</td>
This example is very simple and creates just a bare-bones table. You can modify the HTML sections of the XSLT to specify colors, borders, fonts, and so on to create whatever custom formatting you need.
The following W3C page contains links to many resources on XSLT:

A Tex Message
Homer #31 For Tex Means Difference In Game
It was a pretty good game last night. It may be classified as a Drama Club win. The Yanks were up 3-0, and then late in the game the A's made it 3-2, but the Yanks held on for the final 2 innings for the win. Usually, the Yankees are "hitting" dramatic. No one said they can't be "pitching" dramatic. So that's what it was. A "pitching" dramatic win. The Yankees won 3-2.
Pitching Analysis: Chad Gaudin made his first start in a Yankee uniform last night. He pitched pretty well. Gaudin went 4 & 1/3 innings of shutout ball. He allowed just 1 hit, but 5 walks. He also struck out 5. Girardi pulled him early when he had bases loaded with 1 out. He was not too happy about that. But Aceves came in, and on the first pitch he threw, he got Suzuki (Melky's horse!) to ground into a 1-2-3 inning ending double play. Nice!
Not the most flattering of photos. Anyway, Gaudin impressed me last night.
Aceves got the win and pitched 2 & 1/3 innings. He gave up 2 runs, but the rest of the Yankee bullpen managed to hold the slim lead. Coke, Hughes, and Mo had scorless outings, and Mo picked up his 36th save of the year.
I thought Chad Gaudin pitched pretty well, better than any of us would've imagined. His slider had nice bite to it. I can see he is a strikeout pitcher. Maybe the Yankees can work with him to make him into a dominant force on the mound.
Defensive Analysis: The defense was solid last night. There was an error made on a double play ball. Jeter flipped to Cano, who missed the ball. I thought it should've been Jeter's error, but they gave it to Cano. Johnny Damon made a lovely play in the 3rd. Kennedy hit a foul ball that almost reached the seats. Johhny ran a LONG way to get that ball; we all know how much foul territory that place has. Johnny ran it down and gloved it for the out. Kennedy was pissed. Who says Johhny can't field? It seems like every day he makes a nice play.
Offensive Analysis: There wasn't much offense last night on either side. Both teams only got 6 hits, but the Yankees got 3 runs. Jeter singled to leadoff the first (what else is new?). He stole a base, moved up on a Damon groundout, and scored on a Tex groundout. 1-0 Yanks.
Jeet had 2 hits last night. All he does is hit!
In the 4th, Johnny led off with a single. Then Tex came up. He hit a line drive homer to left, a 2-run shot. The ball took like 1 second to get into the seats. Whoever caught the ball received a Tex Message! Ha! 3-0 Yankees. They went on to win 3-2.
Tex is adorable.
It was a good game last night, always good when the Yanks come out on top. The heroes are Chad Gaudin, for pitching well in his first Yankee start, the bullpen for holding the lead, and Mark Teixeira, for providing all 3 RBI's for the Yanks last night. Tex is MVP! And maybe Jeter for MVP, too. They are both having phenomenal years. The Yankee lead over the smelly Sox remains at 7 games since they also won last night. But look out, Sox! The Yankees are coming into town soon! Be afraid! Be VERY afraid! Hahahaha!
4 Comments
Yeah, forget Tex, give it to Jeter! Man he's on fire! Still, neither will get the MVP… it'll be Mauer. Take him out of Minnesota and they're a 70 win team. Take Tex out, the Yanks still around the top.
Thank God for Tex, huh? He won the game for us with all three RBI. What a season he's having. I'm happy Gaudin made it through scoreless. That was clutch. I'm just happy they got the win and can spend this off day positively. They better not be partying in Beantown tonight!
We've had quite a few games over the years where one guy was all the offense. I remember one game a few seasons ago where Jason Giambi scored all 7 runs we had against the Royals. It was funny – I think after the game the scoreboard even showed that.
Mark has definitely been a godsend for this team and his value continues to show itself, not just at the plate but in the field. I don't know how many times I've seen him make plays and said to myself "There's no way Giambi gets that."
I love Teix! He is slowly becoming my favorite player but I think Jeter will always have that spot. His defense amazes me more than his offense most of the time! He has saved countless games for the Yanks this year with tremendous plays that most of our ex-first basemen never would have come close to!
