Tim DevineI am half of the VJ collective Neon Golden. I will soon study Design Interactions at the Royal College of Art. I created a sound analysis tool in Max/MSP that uses the kineme MIDI patch to receive CC messages for useful beat detection in Quartz Composer (http://lab.neongolden.net/archives/223). I enjoy creating music, visuals, objects and designing interactions. Kineme is great! It triples the value of quartz composer. Thanks, Tim Design Interactions lab.neongolden.net

Depending on your profile you can connect up to three TV sets. Check here to see how many TVs you can connect.
To connect an additional television set you will, however, need another decoder. You can connect a second decoder directly to the modem or you can use a PLC adapter (ethernet adapter via the electricity network). If you have 3 television sets, you should always connect 2 decoders via PLC adapter.
To connect a second decoder to your modem, follow the instructions below. To connect via a PLC adapter (ethernet adapter via the electricity network), follow the instructions in the PLC manual.
To do so, use the blue Ethernet cable (supplied).
Tip: Do you want to extend the cable?
Use the "HDMI" cable for this.
If your television does not have an HDMI port, use the Scart (Péritel) cable.
The decoder starts automatically and the "Power" and "Signal" LEDs light up. The decoder is automatically updated with the latest software. This update can take approximately 15 minutes. Make sure that the decoder's power cable and Ethernet cable remain plugged in.
If the LEDs do not light up, Make sure that the decoder's power cable is plugged in and that the decoder is not on standby. To check this, press the button on the decoder.
If the decoder does not respond, you can reinitialize it.
Follow the procedure set out in this document .

No rush to deploy iSCSI
This article is part of the Storage magazine issue of Vol. 7 No. 7 September 2008
In the past year or so, iSCSI adoption hasn't budged, at least not according to a recent Storage survey. We last asked storage users about iSCSI adoption in July 2007, and the percentage of respondents using iSCSI is still 44%. And while users have had more time to kick iSCSI's tires as the technology has become more widespread, the percentage of those choosing not to deploy iSCSI has jumped from 9% in 2007 to 28%. Twenty-eight percent researched iSCSI last year when the protocol was newer, but only 12% are currently researching it. Respondents who use iSCSI still like its bargain prices, with 73% citing cost as their top reason for using the technology vs. 80% of those surveyed last year. And respondents haven't found a more favored way to deploy iSCSI, with 67% now running an iSCSI SAN over a dedicated Ethernet network vs. 64% choosing that as the top method in 2007. The number of respondents running iSCSI over an existing LAN has dropped from 53% to 41%. --Christine Cignoli

Features in this issue
Are full backups a thing of the past?
In the not-so-distant past, we relied on tape backups for operational recovery, disaster recovery and long-term data retention. But are full nightly backups to tape still needed now that we have new disk-based technologies like snapshots and continuous data protection?
Storage administrators find some relief for backup headaches
Ask the Experts: RTOs and RPOs
Is there a standard ratio between RTOs and RPOs, or are they independent of each other?
CDP in depth
Continuous data protection (CDP) technology is now a viable alternative to traditional backup software and storage system-based replication software. But CDP products can vary significantly, especially in the context of different storage architectures. Depending on specific environments, companies may have to evaluate very different criteria before settling on a CDP product.
Disk-to-disk backup enticing in many forms: Survey Says
Disk-to-disk backup enticing in many forms
Dedupe myths and methods
Exaggerated claims, rapidly changing technology and persistent myths make navigating the deduplication landscape treacherous. We list the top five dedupe myths and provide tips to help you get a deduplication product that fits your organization's needs at a competitive price.
Small disks, big specs
Hard disk drives have been around for more than 50 years, but the technology is on the cusp of big changes--SAS, a shift to the 2.5-inch form factor and a steady increase in disk drive capacity--that will affect enterprise storage for years to come.
DAS revs up for a resurgence
LTO top tape format by far: Survey says
Ask the Expert: NFS vs. CIFS
What should you consider when choosing between Network File Sharing (NFS) or Common Internet File System (CIFS)?
Centralize virtualization at the switch
There are a number of ways you can virtualize your storage, but because a switch-based virtualization engine works out-of-band, there's no need for server agents, making it the most scalable and highest performing of all virtualization architectures.
Price of SAS drives dips
Virtual server backup tips
Virtualized servers yield many benefits, but they can also add complexity to backup operations. There are three main ways to back up a virtual server. Here's how to determine which method is best for your virtualized server environment and storage requirements.
What storage product would you like to see on the market that isn't now?
Quality Awards IV: On top again: CommVault Galaxy, EMC Retrospect
CommVault's Galaxy solidified its position as the top enterprise backup product by finishing first for the third time in the four years we've conducted the Quality Awards. Among the midrange products, EMC Retrospect retained its crown as group champion.

Gen2 virtual tape libraries: Hot Spots
From disaster recovery to capacity optimization and dedupe, the next phase of VTL products promises change.
Backup by the numbers: Backup Purchasing
Results from Storage magazine's most recent Purchasing Intentions survey reveal that respondents will have to expand or alter their backup systems to protect ever-growing data stores.
Break those backup bottlenecks: Best Practices
Backup performance tuning is an art, but identifying infrastructure bottlenecks is more of a strict mathematical exercise once you know the important numbers. And understanding the source of existing and potential bottlenecks makes it easier to find and resolve them.
Coping with cloud storage: Editorial
Don't get stuck with old backup ideas: Best Practices
The time has come to shed your traditional, compartmentalized view of backup and embrace a recovery-centric data management focus.

three things thursday
1. I still don't have much to talk about, but that's never stopped any other blogger from forcing you to read their mindless bullet-post drivel about their life, so here we go. The first thing Thursday is that I changed my header. See? Useless, but now one bullet point is done. I've had the same header for over two years and don't really mind it, but I figured, for whatever reason, it was time for a change. It took me six months to update the puppies tab after we brought Sofie home and I'm pretty sure the swim bike run tab still talks about following my journey as I train for my first ironman, but let's update the pictures since no one reads the words anyway, especially buried in the tabs. Although there are a shit-load of puppy pictures in there, if you are ever having a crappy day and really like golden retrievers. Here's another one. Feel better?
Good, me too. I'm a type-A OCD perfectionist that hates change, so you can go back to reading on your phone in Google Reader, no more changes happening over here.
2. Part of the reason I have nothing to talk about is that it's been so long since I've had an actual injury. And now that I've posted that, I'll probably fall down the steps on my road bike and break every bone in my body, but at least then I'll have something at least marginally interesting to post about. My left trapezius got a little wacky last week, and I did have to back off the swimming for a few days, but I think it's healed and if I ever stopped getting it Graston'd I'd probably be able to tell for sure once the bruises faded. But I do that that Mister MAF and Mister Graston have combined forces to help me crawl closer to an injury-free life. I even felt my glutes working yesterday morning when I ran 400 circles around the track. What now? I'll probably win the lottery and then my life will be so boring that I'll have to retire from blogging entirely. The world weeps.
3. I could either talk about how thrilled I am that the weather is changing or shamelessly plug a race for the second time. Let's do both. Fall is here, and the only thing that could make it better is to get just one frost. The first frost kills all the mosquitos and I'd love to be able to go into the backyard at night without leaping and thrashing and slapping myself like some kind of escapee. The arm warmers have come out and I'm getting close to replacing my overly-priced shorts obsession with an overly-priced crops obsession.
The race, of course, is the Alexandria Family Fun Day & 5K. FLUSHING TOILETS, for cripes sake. Go sign up, or at least click away from here. Once again, I've contributed nothing to the universe on a Thursday. Maybe I'll jump in a race this weekend. I'm sure at least one of you thinks it's worth $25 to run a few miles just so the brainless entries can end, or at least so I can get a fresh picture of my ass and stop reposting ones you've all seen a dozen times.
I'm out, bitches. If you've got any ideas about what I can talk about, for the love of pete let me know so I can stop boring the internet with my yammering.

Puppy pictures! I miss my baby. At least she shouldn't have to spend the night at the scary vet's office.
I love this weather! I can agree with you on the first frost but I hope I am prepared for it and bring my jalepeno plant inside first!!
I think all my posts are mindless drivel.. nothing to see there. Oh well.

Grabbing a php variable?
trying to make an entire row of table a link, the
 tag look looks like this:
<tr onmouseover="ChangeColor(this, true);"
onmouseout="ChangeColor(this, false);"
onclick="DoNav(tid<? $row['ret_id']; ?>);">
and this is the row code:
<td id="tid<? $row['ret_id']; ?>"><? echo $row['ret_id']; ?>
this is not working as you can guess lol.
how does one get that php variable into the java, the rest is working ok, it just cant find the "tid(var)".
Thanks in advance,
Are you sure that your question is a Java question and not a JavaScript question? You do know that they are different, about as different as ham is from hamster.

See, lol, I am new to Java, so this should be in JS Script?
I don't know, and that's what I'm asking. Are you working with a Java program or a JavaScript program? Only you know for sure (I hope). If JavaScript, then you'll want to Google for a JavaScript forum. If Java, then you may wish to clarify your question a little, provide more detail.

We firmly believe in developing technological innovations that allow us to move towards the twin goals of quality and price accessibility.

A Bordeaux Blend wine from Bordeaux in France. 2007 Chateau Bonnet 750ml
A delightful and refreshing blend, and a perfect introduction to white Bordeaux. With aromatic peach and melon scents and a crisp, dry finish, it's a treat on its own, or before dinner with delicately flavored snacks.
Famous Bordeaux vintner, Andre Lurton inherited the centuries old Chateau Bonnet from his grandfather in 1956. Since then he has taken careful measures to improve the property both in the vineyards and in the winery. As a result Chateau Bonnet is world renowned for producing fine quality wines that are excellent values.

MySpace Case Introduces Potential New Avenue for Criminal Prosecutions
With the ever increasing dependence on internet and computer technology comes the increased potential for perpetrators to commit crimes online. While crimes such as identity theft are well known and tracked and legal remedies are prevalent, other potential internet crimes present problems for officials seeking to protect the public. One such case is that of Megan Meier, a 13-year-old Myspace.com user who committed suicide in October 2006 after being spurned online by "Josh Evans," a 16-year-old boy who Megan believed was interested in her. The tragic catch? Josh Evans actually never existed, but was created through MySpace by the mother of one of Megan's classmates. The classmate's mother, Lori Drew, claims that the account was created in order to learn what Megan was saying about Drew's daughter. After nearly a month of internet flirting, "Josh" wrote several cruel messages to Megan, including one telling Megan that the world would be better off without her. Megan hanged herself the same day.
In response, authorities filed charges against Lori Drew, charging her with conspiracy and fraudulently accessing a protected computer without authorization. Megan's case marks the first time that a federal statute, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, which prohibits accessing protected computers without authorization, has been used in a social networking context. Previous prosecutions under this law include hacking cases and other similar cases in which computers were used to obtain information. However, authorities have never brought charges in a case in which a computer was used to send harassing information. As such, it remains unclear whether courts will be receptive to this new interpretation and application of federal law. While the outcome remains to be determined, it is clear that Drew's indictment serves to put potential internet imposters on notice that they may face prosecution for their actions.

Posted Fri 11th of March 2011
Carrie makes it plain what she will do to get the job.
I had worked at my job with this big, well known company in Rochester, N.Y. for twelve years and had worked my up to department manager. I was told that I would be allowed to hire a junior manager to work the job that I was just promoted from. That was great. It would allow me to sit in my new corner office and actually not do a hell of a lot. We advertised the position both internally and externally.
It was Monday, three weeks after the company had posted the job opening. I had four interviews scheduled for the day. I already had resumes from all of them and had looked them over. The first two were young men that worked for the company now. The interviews went well. Either of them should be able to do the job. The two that were scheduled for the afternoon were from outside the company but already lived in the city so there would not have to be a relocation package for the company to pay.
I looked at the resume for the third applicant. It was a twenty-seven year old woman named Carrie O'Brien. I went to my office door and spoke her name. "Carrie O'Brien." She stood and walked to my office. I held the door for her and got my first look at this stunningly beautiful redhead as she walked past me, into my office. She was about 5'6" and slim. Her skin was white as milk with freckles. Her hair was shoulder length and red, probably redder than it really was. She wore a gray skirt that ended just above her knees and a white front buttoning blouse with the top two buttons unbuttoned, showing cleavage between her well-separated firm tits. I guessed her measurements were about 34C-22-32. Her hand lightly brushed against the front of my pants as she past me and then sat in the chair in front of my big new desk.
"Ms. O'Brien, thank you for applying for this position. I have looked at your resume and you appear to be qualified, as do the others that I will be interviewing. Let's find out more about you and your goals. Why do you think that you are the right person for this job?" The interview went on, as expected for about twenty minutes, at which point she pushed her chair back from my desk a little, giving me a view all the way to her feet. Next, while answering my question, she shifted position and her skirt rode up a little more and she spread her legs some. This gave me a look at her freshly shaved pussy that did not have any panties covering it.
"Let me be frank, Mr. Wilson. I want this job. I am a good worker and I want to get this job on my merits. I will do a very good job for the company and I will make you look good. However, I have noticed that you have spent more time looking at my body than you have into my eyes, especially after I spread my legs. So I also want you to know that if you are worried about me being prone to yelling about sexual harassment, that won't happen. I love a good sex joke as much as the next person. I also love a good fuck and the feel of a hard cock in my mouth. Nothing tastes better than a mouthful of cum. As I came in I noticed that you have a very nice package. Hire me and I can and will do an excellent job and you will also find that I can be fun to have around." Guess what. Carrie got the job.
When I got home my wife gave me a hug as usual. She felt my erection as we hugged. "Jerry, you're happy to see me today." I took her to bed and gave her a hard fucking before supper but I was thinking about Carrie. I'm thirty-six years old, 6'1" and weigh 183. My manhood is seven inches and fairly thick. My wife, Joan is thirty-four, 5'4" and 146# with soft D-cups. We don't have any kids. We love each other and have sex about once a week, which is a lot less than we did earlier in our marriage. Joan still has a tight cunt but she is a little boring in bed. We don't try a lot of positions and she seldom sucks my cock. When she does, she never finishes me off in her mouth. I have tried to talk her into trying swinging but she always said no and I have given up. I love Joan but the thought of having Carrie around the office to look at and maybe more had me excited.
Carrie started a week later. The first day was company registration and orientation so I did not see much of her. The second day I showed her around the department, introduced her to everyone and explained her duties in detail. At the end of the day, Carrie came back to my office and said that she would stay late for a little more training if I thought she needed it. She shut my office door and walked over next to me. Unbuttoning all but the bottom button of her blouse and unhooking her front opening bra, Carrie placed an erect nipple at my mouth. I didn't hesitate in wrapping my lips around this delightful new toy. I sucked in a mouthful and rubbed my tongue all over the erotic bump of her nipple. After about five minutes of tit sucking, Carrie pulled away, lifted her skirt up and leaned over my desk. "Guess what I want, Mr. Wilson. Don't worry about a condom. I'm on the pill."
I stood up and dropped my pants, got behind her and took my almost painfully hard cock in my hand. As I looked at her pale white ass on the edge of my desk I knew that I had to pound her twat with my seven inches but that first I had to taste her delights. I dropped to me knees and buried my face between her ass cheeks. The first thing my tongue touched was her ass hole. Carrie gave a little squeal. She arched her back, giving me better access to her pussy and clit. My tongue slid between her labia and found that she was soaking wet already. I thought that her juices tasted like honey. She moaned. I found her clit and flicked it several times with my tongue. Her body shook. "Oh, yes, right there. Do that more. Suck it and lick it." I ate her out till Carrie had a hard orgasm and drenched my face with her girl cum.
Then I stood and placed my steel hard pecker to her opening and shoved. She was tight but so wet that I easily went full depth the first push. "Oh, yes, fuck me hard and deep with that wonderful big cock of yours, Mr. Wilson. Fuck me hard." I held her hips and plowed into her repeatedly, hard enough that we made my large executive desk move. I knew that I couldn't last long in this exciting new cunt and I didn't. After about five minutes of pounding her, I filled her with my hot sticky seed. She came again at the same time. After a few more pumps while my excitement eased, I pulled out and started to pull my pants back up but Carrie turned and put her mouth over my cum covered cock and sucked me clean. She kept her lips tight around it and licked all over the tip, especially spending a lot of time at the sensitive spot under the head. Soon I felt that if she kept that up much longer, I would be getting hard again, but I had to go so I reluctantly pulled out of her hot wet mouth. "When we are alone, you can call me Jerry." "No, I would rather call you Mr. Wilson or Sir. You can call me anything you want. I want you to talk dirty to me. Call me slut or call me your whore or whatever you want." That was the end of my first day with Carrie. I gave Joan a hard fucking again that night and I made her suck my cock a little first.
The next day Carrie came to my office at lunchtime and gave me a great blowjob. She could take me all the way into her throat and she enthusiastically throated me till I filled her stomach with my man juice. "Suck my cock deep you fucking cum slut. Swallow my dick down your whore throat till you drink every drop of cum that is in my balls. Don't leave a drop in it or on it." "That was a great appetizer Sir. I hope I made you happy but now I'm off to lunch." She kissed my cockhead and left. Even though I would have been happy to fuck Carrie every day, we only managed to get it on once or twice a week but it was great.
About a month after Carrie started, I was out on the receiving dock, seeing how everything was looking when I noticed shadows move and heard moaning in the corner behind a stack of boxes. Out of the way, I moved to where I could see what was happening. There was Juan, our nineteen year old stock boy standing with his pants down and on her knees in front of him was Carrie, giving him head.
I watched for about a minute when I saw Juan grab her head and pull her tight to him and hold her there. Juan tilted his head back and moaned as he came in Carrie's mouth. She happily swallowed his load and smiled up at him. Juan thanked her and pulled up his pants and left back into the plant and to work. As Carrie stood up, I stepped out where she could see me. She smiled at me and wiped her lips, licking the cum that had spilled out of her mouth off of her fingers. "Juan has been doing a very good job and I thought he deserved a little reward. I think it will encourage him to keep doing a good job. You don't mind, do you, Sir?" My first thought was that I did mind. I think I was starting to think of Carrie as my own personal fuck slut. But I realized that that was not how it was. "No I don't mind but be very careful not to get caught and get it trouble. I can't protect you if you get caught."
Joan was noticing that I was hornier than I had been in years and she was starting to enjoy it more herself. She still didn't encourage me to do anything more than basic fucking.
For the next couple of months my affair with Carrie continued and we fucked and sucked as often as we could find the time and place to do it. I even took her on a company trip with me when they sent me to some training. That trip was wonderful. I fucked her so often that I thought I was a kid again. During the two nights we were together I must have filled her cunt and her mouth six times each. We even did something that I had never done before. At Carrie's suggestion, after we had finished fucking, she got into the shower and kneeled down and had me give her a golden shower. I had to go bad so I pissed long and hard. I pissed a bright yellow stream in her hair and on her tits and all over her face. When my flow slowed, she took my cock in her mouth and swallowed the last of my urine till no more came out. Then we showered and went to bed.
In bed she asked, "Are you and your wife swingers? I like being with women too and if you would like it, Sir, I would really enjoy having her sit on my face and eating her cunt while you fuck me." I told her that I had never been able to get Joan interested in swinging and that she had never been with another woman or even with another man. I told her that I would work at trying to see if I could get Joan interested. Maybe I could show her some porn movies that included girl on girl scenes. Over the next couple weeks I carefully worked at trying to get Joan interested in swinging and being with another woman. To my surprise, I got her to tell me that in college, she had done 69 sex with her room mate a couple of times and had enjoyed it. I was starting to think that maybe I could make this happen.
I excitedly told Carrie that I might be able to make our hot threesome happen but she shocked me by telling me that she was getting a job change and would be leaving to take a personal assistant job with one of the company vice presidents over at the main office. I was very sad and told her that we could still get together some times for some fun. "I'm sorry Jerry but I work for a different Sir now and I have to give myself to doing a good job for him."

Hopefully JB doesn't have any secret snglie behaviors to surprise YOU with! Just kidding, I'm sure he will be just fine. Whatever the secret snglie behaviors are, perhaps you guys already find these things endearing about each other. I have to say that the one thing that is frustrating for me is cleaning up a place repeatedly and it getting dirty again somehow without my doing (I wonder WHO got it that way). I mean, is it so hard to hang a wet towel on a drying rack instead of throwing it on the floor, under a desk? And let's talk about unwashed coffee mugs: boys, if you don't wash them, they leave coffee rings behind!! Just have to take a deep breath sometimes

Review by Paul Katz for Rating: While it is frustratingly the third in a tilpre dip (following the theatrical DVD and extended cut DVD), if you are a Sex and the City collector / completist, then you cannot be without this set.Discs One and Two are essentially the same as they are on the Extended Cut DVD release BUT!! Disc Two is *expanded* with three more featurettes that were obviously held back from the previous release so hard-core fans would have incentive to buy this package. One featurette focuses on how they brought the movie to the screen, the second is about on the four leading ladies and the third is the HBO First Look program, The Making of *Sex and the City.* On Disc Two of the extended cut release and this package, a conversation between Michael Patrick King and Sarah Jessica Parker takes place. Disc Three features the full conversation, greatly expanded. It plays as a video commentary (with many split screens and zooms in and out) to the theatrical cut

Guildford, United Kingdom, November 14, 2007 - IDBS, a leading provider of Electronic Laboratory Notebooks (ELN), today announced that Wells' Dairy (Le Mars, Iowa) has introduced E-WorkBook into their corporate R&D site to capture, search, share and query their research data. E-WorkBook is a compliant, secure and extensible science-neutral ELN designed for research scientists of any discipline.
Wells' Dairy was founded in 1913 and is the world's largest family owned and managed dairy processor. With multiple ice cream and dairy products currently in development, Wells' Dairy sought an electronic data management solution to store critical R&D data, facilitate compliance with FDA regulatory requirements, and create a standardized process for the capture and establishment of Intellectual Property (IP).
Dr. Tom Aurand, Sr. Director of R & D at Wells' Dairy commented, "We are very impressed with the innovative and flexible design of E-WorkBook and its ability to streamline workflow. The provision of a central repository and the capacity to manage our data in a structured way will enhance our ability to communicate more efficiently. E-WorkBook eliminates duplication of work and gives corporate global access to our results, including contextual information, which will support better decision-making throughout the organization." He added, "E-WorkBook has been readily adopted by scientists at Wells' Dairy due to its very intuitive organization, and we now see potential uses for other areas of our business."
Neil Kipling, founder and CEO of IDBS commented, "The ability to capture, search and share research data, information and knowledge in a controlled way makes IDBS' E-WorkBook an invaluable asset to any organization. Using E-WorkBook is a proven way to save time and streamline workflow." He added, "The general benefits afforded by E-WorkBook can improve operational efficiencies in a diverse range of organizations. E-WorkBook's ability to adapt to specific customer requirements is a particular strength of ours and will continue to drive our success as leaders in the ELN market."

What Albert Pujols is swinging at, where and resulting contact rate leads to a lower slugging percentage in 2010.
By Ian Walton
A popular topic of conversation at The Cardinal Nation Blog has revolved around Albert Pujols' declining slugging percentage. The following article will attempt to demonstrate that this is likely a result of Pujols being less selective in which pitches he hits.
There is little doubt that Pujols has lagged behind his normal power production this season. His .570 slugging percentage lies somewhat below his career .625 mark and noticeably below his .653 and .658 rates in 2008 and 2009. In 2010, he is hitting home runs every 5.3% of his at-bats and doubles at the exact same rate. Compare that to his career rates of hitting a home run in 7.1% of his at-bats and a double in 7.5% of his at-bats.
Year | % Swinging Outside Zone | % Contact Outside Zone | % Swinging Inside Zone | % Contact Inside Zone | % Pitches Thrown Inside Zone |
2007 | 18.3 | 72.3 | 59.0 | 93.9 | 49.9 |
2008 | 21.6 | 75.1 | 63.8 | 95.8 | 47.1 |
2009 | 22.9 | 68.2 | 66.6 | 94.4 | 45.0 |
2010 | 28.3 | 76.5 | 65.2 | 88.6 | 43.7 |
Career | 19.8 | 66.1 | 65.6 | 92.1 | 49.1 |
As can be seen above, opposing pitchers have been throwing fewer pitches within the strike zone to Pujols in each of the past four seasons. This is certainly understandable behavior, as Pujols is unquestionably one of the strongest hitters in the game today. However, in each of the past four seasons, Pujols has increased the rate at which he swings at pitches thrown outside of the strike zone, with 2010 showing a dramatic increase over years past. Somewhat surprisingly, he has actually increased his contact rate at balls thrown outside of the strike zone this season as well.
The above graph displays the location of each pitch thrown to Pujols in 2010 that resulted in a home run from the perspective of the catcher (except for his home run on 6/15, where data is for some reason not available). Aside from one high four-seam fastball, these pitches are located in the center portion of the zone vertically and the outer half of the plate. Not a single home run was hit outside of the strike zone.
So in summation, opposing pitchers are throwing Albert Pujols fewer strikes while Pujols is swinging at more balls. As he is only hitting home runs on balls thrown to a particular portion of the strike zone, he is understandably hitting for less power this season.
Swing Rate data was provided by FanGraphs.
Pitch F/X data was provided by Brooks Baseball (though the graph is mine this time).

I am always happy to see a year end and the fresh new one begin. Like everyone else there were the trials and tribulations, the bits of drama, the sadness of loosing someone very special and the basic struggles. One thing NEVER lacking was the unconditional love of TRUE friends and family. How very lucky I am!
Going in to this new year I have a verve and desire to kick some ass. No, not anyone in particular. The ass of life! I have plans to keep evolving and growing, I have new ventures on the horizon and I am going to take some chances. I know there is nothing I can't accomplish now because I have been tested for so long! I've got this one bitches!
There have been an unsavory amount of people that have come in and out of my life (whether I welcomed them or not. Some were force-fed) and I thank them all for their demonizing lessons. You idiots have taught me so much about myself and my own life and who I am and who I want to be (none of which are YOU). I feel the need to drop a few anonymous names.... Mr. Lamborghini...Mr. Black...Lorena Bobbitt...The Publisher....The Navy Seal....The Car Sales Man...The Douche Boat Builder...To you in particular I say FUCK YOU, I WIN!
I'm so happy to continue life being my down-to-Earth Diva self. I am beyond happy with the choices I made in my life. Choosing not to have children, eliminating toxic people, taking risks, loving on my terms, fighting the fight for sight and always, always staying true to who I am. I am in love with the people I "work" with. They are beyond family to me. Imagine a family that you get to hand pick! They are the heart and soul of my everyday. Thank you!
What else could a chick want for her self? Nothing is missing, everything is the way it should be and being in my forties is getting better with each passing year. I'm pretty much game for anything this year. Suggest it, I just may take you up on it. I wish for all of the people I love to have the best year ever this year and to know that I love each and everyone of you so much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being so amazing and in my life! I absolutely love you.

Former Vietnam POW addresses Class of 2014 on leadership
Former Vietnam POW addresses Class of 2014 on leadership
Story and photos by Mike Strasser
Assistant Editor
WEST POINT, N.Y. (Feb. 6, 2013) — He shared with the Class of 2014 the thrill of being a pilot and the sensation of flying 500 miles per hour no more than 500 feet off the ground.
There were probably more than a few future aviators in Robinson Auditorium Feb. 4 taking in retired Col. Lee Ellis and his adventures in flight. But it was what happened to him on the ground that proved most absorbing.
Ellis graduated out of the ROTC program at the University of Georgia in 1965 to pursue his lifelong dream of being a pilot. Fresh out of Air Force training, Ellis was bound directly to southeast Asia for the Vietnam War.
"...Which meant that as quick as they could get us trained, we were going to war," Ellis said. "The war in 1966 was building up and we were headed there."
During an armed reconnaissance mission on Nov. 7, 1967, Ellis ejected from his aircraft which had been hit and exploded into several pieces. No sooner than he parachuted to the ground, Ellis was surrounded. The enemy was shouting at him "Surrender. No die."
"I figured that was the best advice I was going to get all day," Ellis said.
Stripped to his shorts, Ellis said it took two weeks to arrive to the prisoner of war camp. His thoughts immediately turned to escape. Captivity, he said, is the single worst personal and professional nightmare.
It became a new war, a defensive one, for the prisoners of war, Ellis said. The infamous Hanoi Hilton, a maximum security complex, would become his battleground for the next five years. The enemy had its objectives, to induce compliance, gather intelligence and indoctrinate the prisoners. The POWs had theirs, live up to the code of conduct, minimize loss and keep faith. Additionally, the goal wasn't simply about returning home. It had to be with honor.
"To lead and live honorably, you have to have courage, and you have to lean into the pain of your fears," Ellis said.
Life in a POW camp strips a person down to his or her core values and character. There is no hiding from yourself or pretending to be anyone but your true self, Ellis said, and it is important to keep character guarded.
"We are all one step away from violating our character," Ellis said. "You have to wrestle with character issues every day if you're to be a good leader. I have friends I go to test my ideas and decisions because I know they can be close to the line and I don't want to go over that line."
Among the occupants of Hanoi Hilton with Ellis were Robinson Risner, Jeremiah Denton, John McCain, Ken Fisher and Jim Warner. Ellis told the story of James Bond Stockdale, a Medal of Honor recipient, who refused to make a filmed statement by beating his own face with a wooden chair so as to be unpresentable for camera. Warner was placed in solitary—the Tank—for seven months. He emerged having composed a thousand-line epic poem in iambic pentameter which he recited to his cellmates.
"Leadership always makes a difference and it made a difference for us," Ellis said. "Communication kept us alive—you have to always be communicating."
Ellis told cadets that leadership is not only hard, but it's a full-time challenge.
"You're always facing challenges as a leader. You have to accomplish the mission and you have to take care of people. And underneath all of that you have to guard your character and integrity," Ellis said.
Perhaps the greatest lesson he could impart, Ellis said courage enables honorable leadership.
"There is no honor without courage," Ellis said. "You have to learn to lean into the pain of your fear to do what you know is right. You know what is right ... but it's scary sometimes to do it. That's courage and that's how you keep your honor and live with honor. You do your duty. You keep your word."
Leadership lessons such as these are reinforced often at the academy, and the Simon Center for the Professional Military Ethic provides a speaking engagement to each cadet class every year through the
Professional Military Ethic Education Program
, or PME2.
Class of 2014 Cadet Chase Pedron, a member of the Combat Weapons Team and Company I-2 Sandhurst Team, had a copy of "Leading with Honor" signed by Ellis afterward and said he was interested to learn more about the author's experiences and methods on how to maintain character and honor in times of hardship.
"I appreciate opportunities such as this because the advice given by Col. Ellis is such a wealth of knowledge to learn from," Pedron said. "It makes a world of difference when someone has events and stories to back up the advice they give because it shows that advice has been tried and validated."
Retired Air Force Col. Lee Ellis addresses the Class of 2014 on leadership lessons learned as a prisoner of war during the Vietnam War.
Retired Air Force Col. Lee Ellis , following a lecture in Robinson Auditorium Feb. 4, signed copies of his book "Leading with Honor" and met cadets from the Class of 2014. Leadership lessons such as the ones Ellis presented to the cadets are reinforced often at the academy, and the Simon Center for the Professional Military Ethic provides a speaking engagement to each cadet class every year through the Professional Military Ethic Education Program, or PME2.

I'll admit it, when I first heard that Dave Bolland was being tried out as a second line center at the Chicago Blackhawks' training camp, I nearly had an apoplectic fit. He was incredibly effective as third line center last season but was a bit weak offensively, so he couldn't possibly work when the top six are usually the fastest and best scoring skaters, right?
After three games, he's proven me wrong.
Paired with Patrick Sharp and Patrick Kane, Bolland's two goals bookended the Blackhawks' 6-4 win over the Phoenix Coyotes, with Sharp throwing a goal in for good measure. Tuesday's game against the St. Louis Blues showcased an amazing 3-on-0 move by the entire line that took everyone's breath away and resulted in a goal by Kane. In fact, the entire second line has more combined points than the top line of Jonathan Toews, Marian Hossa and Brandon Saad, with 11 points over their nine. The top line's total includes Daniel Carcillo's lone assist from their season opener, but he was, of course, injured (again).
The fact that Bolland is clicking on the second line is a relief after last season's mess. It seemed like there was a steady rotation at that position, and at the end of the season there was a huge hole that only speculation could fill. Kane had been in that slot for a while, but he seemed to languish there, and constant switching between center and wing was most likely a factor in his poor points production. He wasn't physically conditioned to be in that position and burned out too quickly. Kane's strong offense/weak defense didn't work, but Bolland's strong defense/weak offense are a better fit.
I was wrong to think that Bolland couldn't cut it in the top six. Hopefully the second line will keep working as well as they have. That'll be one key to the Blackhawks' success.

NWSB Writer Blair Thomas talks about the Rose Garden, one of the premier venues for watching professional basketball. Even though the team has not witnessed prominent success since 2000, the Rose Garden Arena still remains one of the best places to watch an NBA game, even before the game starts. Mark Mason and an environmentally friendly atmosphere truly distinguish the Rose Garden from other arenas.
I'm a die-hard fan of the Portland Trail Blazers because…
NWSB Insider and Portland Trailblazers blogger Blair Thomas tells us why he's a sold out 100% PDX basketball fan for life. It is about family. From 1977 to 1995 Rip City sold out 814 home games, the longest streak in American major professional sports. The Blazers made the city proud and the family thanked them in return. PDX was lucky to have had Clyde Drexler. LaMarcus Aldridge is the promise of a bright future.
Who fills the gap at Center for the Portland Trail Blazers?
NWSB Writer Jonathan Irwin gives you his take on who can fill the role at center for the Portland Trail Blazers. It's been a whirlwind week for the Portland Trail Blazers. Desperately trying to fill the void at center, it was announced Monday the team's offer to RFA Roy Hibbert is going to be matched by Indiana. Then comes Wednesday, when it was announced that Euro league big man Joel Freeland will officially be making his way to Portland on a three-year deal.
Trail Blazers player profiles: Wesley Matthews
NWSB Writer Blair Thomas brings us a Northwest Athlete profile of Trail Blazer Wesley Matthews, a key player as Portland looks towards the future. Born October 14, 1986, Wesley Matthews Jr. was given birth to a pair of athletes in their own right. Pam Moore was a two-sport athlete and track standout at the University of Wisconsin and in a member of the Badgers' 2006 Hall of Fame class…
Is Nicolas Batum the best long term solution for Portland?
NWSB Writer Jonathan Irwin debates whether or not Nicholas Batum is the solution to all of Portland's woes or if they should think about trading him. Nicolas Batum—the current incumbent—is sitting on a four year, $45-$50 million, offer from Minnesota. Portland seems fully prepared to match. However, Minnesota is determined, reportedly exploring multiple sign-and-trade opportunities.
Indiana Pacers are a dark horse for Brandon Roy's services
NWSB Writer Blair Thomas talks about the latest news of northwest grown and former Portland Trail Blazer Brandon Roy. Due to Portland's decision to waive Roy under the league's amnesty clause, the guard cannot play for the Blazers until the 2014-15 season. Though many would like to see the Roy back on the team, we hear the Indiana Pacers have shown quite the interest. Also Portland is chasing Indiana center Roy Hibbert.
NBA Gossip: Could Rip City be seeing more of Chauncey Billups?
NWSB Insider and Portland Trailblazers blogger Blair Thomas talks about RIP City's GM Neil Olshey's possible interest in bringing in Chauncey Billups to Portland for Jamal Crawford. What could be a struggle for Olshey is trying to convince Billups to take a secondary role for a team that failed to make the playoffs in 2012.
Five moves Portland GM Neil Olshey needs to make
NWSB Insider and Portland Trail Blazers writer Rick Stella tells us the 5 moves new Blazers GM Neil Olshey needs to make for the Blazers to be competitive in 2012-13. By resigning JJ Hiskson, Olshey will have a player that is already comfortable with the system, and the core group of players. Of course if everybody in Rip City had their way, the newest Blazer this summer will be Steve Nash. Just look at his track record and ask yourself why you wouldn't want this guy?
Can the Trailblazers make the right moves with picks 6 and 11?
What might Portland do? Greg Oden or Kevin Durant? This question lingered for months leading up to the 2007 NBA Draft where the TrailBlazers overcame a 5% chance at the #1 overall pick in that year's Draft lottery. The pick, used on Ohio State center Greg Oden, would later come back to haunt the Trail […]
Five big men the Trail Blazers should pursue for 2012-13
NWSB Insider and Portland Trailblazers writers Blair Thomas has an opinion on what the 2012 Rip City folks should do this off-season. He targets the Big Men. Andre Drummond, J.J. Hickson, Kris Humphries, Omer Asik are just a few of the names he says the Trail Blazers need to go after. Portland's front line was as thin as tracing paper and will unlikely get any better in the 2012 NBA draft.
