Red ink has seized the U.S. Postal Service corpus like a cancer. The post office�s life-saving prescription is to amputate a limb � the organization this week announced that starting in August it intends to discontinue Saturday delivery of the mail.
Red ink has seized the U.S. Postal Service corpus like a cancer. The post office�s life-saving prescription is to amputate a limb � the organization this week announced that starting in August it intends to discontinue Saturday delivery of the mail.
That may forestall the patient�s death, but only temporarily. The USPS has systemic problems that can only be fixed with the help of Congress.
The post office has lost more than $40 billion since 2006, including $16 billion last year. Cutting Saturday delivery will save it about $2 billion annually.
Part of its sagging fortunes can be blamed on technological and cultural changes that have reduced the volume of mail and corresponding revenues to the USPS. Increasing numbers of Americans now correspond via text or email instead of the first class �snail mail,� as has the number who pay their bills online. That�s a trend that�s not going to reverse. FedEx and UPS also have eaten into the Postal Service�s package shipping business.
The postal union points a finger at a congressional act � the Postal Service and Retirement and Health Benefits Act of 2006, which requires the Postal Service to fully fund future retiree health benefits for the next 75 years by 2016. That�s taking money out of current operations and setting it aside for the future.
However, John J. Walters, writing at Reason.com, notes that the retirement funding represents only a $5.4 billion to $5.8 billion annual expenditure, leaving $10 billion of losses to account for.
Congress, again, shares some of that blame because it sets postage rates. Congress standardized stamp prices in 1845 at 5 cents for a letter to be delivered to an address less than 300 miles away and 10 cents for one more than 300 miles away. According to Walters, if Congress had allowed prices to increase with inflation, it would cost $1.19 to send a first-class letter today, $2.38 if it were traveling more than 300 miles. Instead, it costs 46 cents regardless of distance.
That�s a good deal for American consumers, but it�s killing the Postal Service�s bottom line.
Congress also has obstructed the Postal Service�s attempts to cut costs and improve efficiencies, such as closing post offices. Federal lawmakers hear from voters in their districts if the local post office is slated for closure and block approval. The proposal to end Saturday delivery also will require congressional approval.
Does Congress, which in 1970 moved the USPS from a Cabinet agency to a supposedly �self-sustaining� model, have the foresight and courage to actually, finally allow the Postal Service to set its own rates and delivery schedules without government meddling and put it on a course toward profitability?
Given the dire financial situation, the alternative eventually will be to subsidize the USPS with tax dollars to maintain a broken status quo.
Give the Postal Service the flexibility it deserves � and desperately needs.

Young male tabby cat, Portugal: photo by Alvesgaspar, November 2010
En otro tiempo estás.
Eres el dueño
de un ámbito cerrado como un sueño.
You live in other time.
You preside over
a world as closed-off to us
as a dream.
A gigantic wide smile you took out of me this morning.
That is happy-making.
And while on the subject of happy, it always makes one happy to have help with translations. Fumbling, maladroit desecrations, created by creatures with seven thumbs, the translations of great poems so often seem.
At any rate, I have just now received by private message a helpful suggestion, from a certain expert, for an alternate translation of these Borges lines:
In another time.
You are the master
of a closed world like a dream.
That works for me. (Many thanks! to the friends from whom one can always use a little help.)
Oh, no, no, To, I made a mistake! (I read it badly in Spanish!!)
The first line must be something like your translation or "You are in another time"
Sorry, sorry, you better erase all this from me (shame on me!)
No, no, it's fun to think about these options.
By the way, I developed "preside over" out of "dueño".
For "ámbito", at one point, I considered "precinct".
(I've seen that bit rendered as "lord of your realm", though bringing in royalty seemed possibly over-extravagant... yet then again, where we humans find a dreary quotidian world, a cat might well find a realm... and claim it...)
That loud meow you did not hear just now came from a scavenger cat who arrives every night to request feeding, and, since this solicitation is usually successful, returns again... and again.. through cold and rain and dead of night, etc.
We are part of his realm.
He is the spitting image of the tabby cat at the top of this post.
Borges had a beautiful huge white cat named Beppo (after the Byron poem), but the idea here was to give the more ordinary felines their day (as they will take it anyway, whether or not given).
Who can resist, I know I can't, the vertically striped gypsy caftan of our dearest Douanier.
and is not blindness an echo
of that otherness to the seeing
and the naïve an other
to the cosmopolite.
a little homophonisme
seems okay
even if of the naive variety:
In a roe of time's zeroed estate
Eris examples
an inner whose outer
can never be reveiled
That surely puts a fine point on the tip of the whisker, Lan.
And furthermore, what difference can it make to a blind man whether a cat is beautiful or not.
Our theory is that the mongrel tabby and tortoiseshell mixes have a sort of junkyard survivability advantage, whereas the purer breeds...
...forgot the rest of that sentence because the large splendid Siamese was demanding door duties.
While the two allwhites sit impassively gazing, awaiting developments. Possibly sunrise, though no one's actually seen one of those for some time.
Regarding your last observation (or rather series of observations, Tom), a very good cat vet we know has a corny sign in her office stating (roughly) that cats are like potato chips and you can't be satisfied with just one. Everyone who likes cats knows what that vet means, I think. And I enjoyed both translations.
I always thought /called/ this cat
a tabby.
the one you call "tabby" I've always called an Alley Cat
not a single out-door cat around here any more...
people especially my ... neighbor... put out rat
poison & (....).
I haven't spoken to my neighbor in 25 years.... not since Amelia died of
The vet's joke about potato chips made us laugh.
(But one doesn't have to clean out a potato chip's liter box.)
I'd give the guy another 25 years probation.
Some nervous nellie neighbours here were in the habit of planting doses of rat poison all about their grounds, and a little tortoiseshell girl named Dark Sister, in the course of her dogged daily rounds of territory-policing, ate enough of a poisoned rat to make her sick unto death for several days, during which she lay inert, struggling to breathe.
But she had scrap iron genes. She recovered, lived to be a ripe (rank?) old 22.
But the guy who dosed your Amelia, Ed, if he should ever send his kids around trick or treating... a little bleach in the jelly beans might make a nice starter aperitif.
"Young male tabby cat, Portugal" appeared bit by bit -- first the ears, then head, neck, body, feet placed on stone wall, making it seem as if one could touch his fur, hear what he was thinking in that "world as close- off to us as a dream". . .
light coming into sky above still black
ridge, whiteness of moon next to branch
in foreground, wave sounding in channel
elsewhere which will appear
in this, pointing to
it as such, surface objects
not there, shadow of
grey white clouds to the left of point,
shadowed green pine on tip of sandspit
lyskerit was a she who put the poison out... got dead two dogs (who ate the dead rats) at least 3hree cats who caught the drugged/dyeing rats...
this neighbor over a couple of years always threw the dead rats over into MY yard!
I put a stop to that..... put one of her dead rats into her mail-box ...watched her reach in...
"did you see who put that dead rat in my mail box?"
"probably the same dumb-fuck who's throwing them into my yard," say I with a tabby-like grin.
well, not exactly an haiku moment....or an
ours poetic-her
p.s. she moved after the dog-neighbor on the other side of her called in the Humane Society /County police visited her...
For a while now I've dipped into the soothing waters of Beyond the Pale, sin comentario. Couldn't leave this time without saying thanks, especially for this look at Borges and cats. I like the way Borges, in only three lines, employs the two verbs in Spanish that signify to be. Might they mean something like this?
You exist in another time.
You are the owner of a world
as closed off as a dream.
Although I'm embarrassed to say nothing else here today, I'd like to point that what Haze says is one of the most important subtleties of these verses: the use of "ser" y "estar".
"En otro tiempo estás" (that's the verb "estar" signifying "you exist in another time / you live in another time" but also "you are in another time"). And then the use of the verb "ser" in "Eres el dueño...", that means this isn't something accidental nor momentaneous: the cat IS, was and always will be, the master/owner of a world or field apart.
There are few things so pleasant (or so rare) as a tale of Justice prevailing in the long run.
Hazen and Julia,
Translation by dialectical symposium advances our understanding, thus to arrive at (near) total illumination.

If anyone here has ever checked out TAT's geocaching.com profile, you may have noticed that he has a cool map of all his finds. I've always wondered how he got that map, and now I know! (Sorry if I'm giving away a secret here, TAT! )
The map is created by a tool on KeenPeople.com simply called GPX Map Tool. It produces a map that looks a lot like the maps on Buxley's site. All I had to do was filter my found caches in GSAK and export them as a GPX file. Next I had to bring the file into EasyGPS and save it to clean it up. Then I uploaded the file to the website and played with the coordinates a bit to get my custom map:
Happy mapping!

Massive flooding from torrential rains in the San Antonio area left at least one person dead Saturday and sent emergency workers rushing in boats to rescue more than 100 residents stranded in cars and homes.
Massive flooding from torrential rains in the San Antonio area left at least one person dead Saturday and sent emergency workers rushing in boats to rescue more than 100 residents stranded in cars and homes.
A woman was trapped in her car, got on the roof and was swept away in floodwaters, said San Antonio Fire Department spokesman Christian Bove. Her body was later found against a fence, he said. Her name was not immediately released.
Rescue workers were searching for someone who was missing after being trapped in another car, Bove said.
The water was very deep in some areas and more flood victims could be found, so the search will continue, officials said.
"We'll be out there as long as daylight permits and again in the morning if the water recedes," San Antonio Fire Chief Charles Hood said, adding that going into floodwaters was more dangerous for firefighters than entering a burning building.
About 130 people were plucked from their homes and cars in the San Antonio area, many by first responders using inflatable boats, he said. The water was up to 4 feet high in some homes, Bove said.
Even a city bus was swept away, but firefighters on a boat were able to rescue the three passengers and driver early Saturday, public transit spokeswoman Priscilla Ingle said. Nobody was injured.
The San Antonio International Airport by Saturday afternoon had recorded 9.87 inches of rain since midnight, causing nearly all streams and rivers to experience extraordinary flooding. The highest amount of rainfall recorded since midnight was 15.5 inches at Olmos Creek at Dresden Drive.
Numerous roads in several counties were closed. Mayor Julian Castro urged residents not to drive.
"We have had too many folks who continue to ignore low-water warnings," Castro said at a Saturday afternoon news conference.
A flash flood warning was issued for nearly two dozen counties as 2-4 inches of rainfall was forecast overnight.
A flood warning remained for Leon Creek at Interstate 35, where the level was 27.1 feet and was expected to peak at 29 feet Saturday night — nearly twice the flood stage of 15 feet, according to the National Weather Service. The San Antonio River about 20 miles southeast of the city, near Elmendorf, was expected to peak at 62 feet by Sunday morning, well above the flood stage of 35 feet.
The National Weather Service called the region's flooding a life-threatening situation similar to what happened in October 1998. Up to 30 inches of rain fell in a two-day period, causing floods in the Guadalupe and San Antonio River basins that left more than 30 people dead, according to the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority. Parts of 19 counties received at least 8 inches of rain in that storm.

Industrial was the first genre of music that I really liked as a whole. It has a very distinct sound but at the same time I struggle to describe what it is. I think it is how the music is put together. It has a kind of cynical, nihilistic tone to the sound. It is not often at all that the lyrics focus on love or happiness but I don't really listen to the words in music. I really just am interested in what the singers voice sounds like and how the words complement the rest of the music. I think that is what really drew me into the genre, the fact that the singers voice often has gone through some sort of distortion and is often not the front and centre of the sound. Most people think of Nine Inch Nails if they know anything about Industrial. I don't mind NIN but I find the sound kind of boring, though NIN do some pretty good songs and have been in the for front in bringing Industrial popularity before it died in america. Now Rammstein hold the flag for keeping Industrial from the brink of obscurity. Everyone knows who Rammstein is. They got me into Industrial.
Die Warzau are a good start on this style of music but they are not my favourite. It isn't easy to find their music on YouTube either due to them being very protective about their music and are on a constant witch hunt to get their music removed. It is pretty annoying because their music is so good and has a lot of verity. Unfortunately I can't put their videos here due to this fact.
16Volt sound like they take the heavier rock side of Industrial music. Their music has a more ethereal undertones then other Industrial music due to the way that the singer draws out his words while he sings. His voice has an unmatched harmony with the style of music that they produce. Their music works together in harmony the backup singer's voice works so well with the main singers voice that I often don't notice when they are both singing together. They also do a number of very melodic songs that can often crash into their more normal tone but will usually go back to the slow melodic tone. They often have portions of their songs do this to some degree.
Acumen Nation's side project Iron Lung Crop.
We have finally gotten to my most favourite band in Industrial. Sadly, not a lot of their music is on YouTube. I am not sure why that is because the songs that I have found have been p for years and not been taken down. I can only think that not many people like them or know about them to upload their music. It so happens that they have a lot of music in their discography and I like every single one of them. I am not exaggerating. Sure, there are some that I am not as fond of as others but I can listen to anything by them and be fine with it. There is a lot of songs that I do love as a bonus. Their music shares a lot of traits that I have already gone through in the music before but they do have a quality that I really love. It isn't that easy to pin down but their music is a lot more melodic with a cynical twist to it. Their sound doesn't take its self seriously and the singers voice is so utterly unique and is used purely as an instrument. The lyrics feel like they have been chosen more to suit the tune and beat of the song more then the subject. Quite honestly I can barley make out what is being sung and I am happy with that. The two song i have chosen to put here are from the same album only because I feel they both show off the best of this band but if you listen to their earlier work it sound raw opposed to their later work which is beautifully refined and doesn't stagnate. Each album has a very defined tone to it and each song flows nicely from one to the next keeping a sort of tonal narrative. They also have a side project called Iron Lung Corp, which I must also put here, which still kept the care tone of their music but dabbled more with synth and added more of a dance beat. The way that the vocals are presented in ILC gives a more detached feel to a lot of their music. An almost melancholy.
I am going to put two bonus bands here simply because I found them while delving into Industrial. They don't really fit in anywhere else and have their on sound.
Fist up is Tweaker
The first song I have put above this was the first song I heard by this band and it was so unlike anything I have ever heard before. Even now, nearly ten years later I have yet to find music like it. The second song is one that is too dealy love. Tweaker is a little odd in that I am not sure why I like their music. I just do. I very rarely give "I just do" as an answer and it kind of bugs me that I have to here.
I don't know much about this band simply because I have no real interest in the people behind the music. What I have gathered is that Tweaker is a side project of some very famous group. I think some one from tool or something. Only the music from their album All Things Uncertain has music that i like.
Secondly, we have Rabbit Junk and Wolves Under Sail
You might be a little confused as to why I have put two band there but they are the same. WUS would closely resemble folk mettle while RJ would be some kind of Electronic Hardcore.
I put rabbit just here because they are the exception to my not liking very much EH. They are also special because they shift genres so fluidly and effortlessly with each song and sometimes within songs. If I was to post a video to show examples of their their range of sound, I would have to post every song they have made. What is most impressive to me about them is the fact that they manage to keep the unique sound no matter how they mess with it. Their album Reframe is my personal favourite simply because it shows off everything I have already said about them. I don't like every song on the album, some I don't really like at all but I admire their ability to experiment with their sound. I highly recommend checking out all their albums if you like some aspect of any of their music. They will always keep you guessing and still surprise me today with what they come out with.
Here is a link to a playlist for Reframe; https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... A5B8EDDA68
Wolves Under Sail have a very special place in my heart. Their music is completely obscure and not very easy to find at all. The video I posted is their one and only album. Unfortunately the song The Neverender is even harder to find. I only know of it because a couple of years ago I had to dig through the internet to find more music by them and I found an old MySpace page with their music on there for free download. I think that page is gone now.
WUS sound on the album I posted feels like it has a serious folk viking mettle tone. I have yet to find anything like it but it doesn't mean there isn't anything. Most people who I have shown them too always say something stupid like "they sound like Ailstorm". That makes me want to slap them. The tone and feel are totally different. Ailstorm are a fun clownish band who sing about getting drunk and pillaging booty. They feel like a joke bad.
The song Mofar Son Of Mofar, the first song on the album, is my favourite. I love how it tells a simple story about a man trying to get his men home safely through a storm while they are in the middle of the ocean. This is one of the few times when I pay attention to the lyrics. The sound also has superb tonal flow. The start lets you know that we are on a boat. I imagine a viking long boat simply because of the name Mofar. They masterfully set up everything about this band through their album narrative. Simply reading the names of the songs will give you the information about where we are in the narrative. The first song is about them getting home after a battle and the second is them celebrating the dead. The third song can be seen as either them making their plans for their next battle while the forth is them going into battle and facing a terrible enemy. The tone of the forth song changes to a pretty sombre pace. It also has a kind of military style drumming. The last song on the album is an interesting one. I am not entirely sure where this one sits in the narrative. I will leave that one to you.
One last thing. The lead singer in Wolves Under Sail is the same person as the lead singer in Rabbit Junk.

Significant cuts are coming to farm programs when the next farm bill becomes law, probably in 2012.
"All signs point to less of a safety net. I can't put a positive spin on what's happening in Washington," said Joe Outlaw, professor and Texas AgriLife Extension economist. "Congress can't take less money and make everyone better off."
How deep could the cuts go? Depends on whose numbers get the most attention, but proposed cuts by either the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform or the Bipartisan Policy Center indicate severe reductions, Outlaw said.
The former would eliminate $1 billion out of a $6 billion total. The latter would take $3 billion, half the current budget.
"The 2002 farm bill had $11 billion in the commodity programs," Outlaw said during the Texas Plant Protection Association annual conference in College Station. "In 2008, we got $6 billion." Funding for crop insurance doubled and nutrition program funds more than doubled.
Outlaw said 38 programs in the 2008 farm bill do not have baselines to carry them forward. He said one possibility congress might consider is redirecting funds to "those at risk. For sorghum, cotton, rice and wheat, direct payments are going to landowners. The safety net is not going to farmers."
Those funds could be redirected to producers. "But direct payments will be a main target," Outlaw said.
Agricultural commodity groups will need to prioritize issues. "Each group will want a fair share.
"We see a lot of uncertainty. All people in Washington want to talk about are the budget and the deficit. They are looking for places to cut, and agriculture will take a hit. I expect to see more money spent on crop insurance than on commodity programs."
Nutrition programs will claim 75 percent of the agriculture budget.
Outlaw said uncertainty also hangs over the ag committees. Frank Lucas, R-Okla., will be the new chair of the House Agriculture Committee and has been a strong supporter of agriculture. Less known will be the Senate chairman, Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., who will replace Blanche Lincoln. "She (Stabenow) is an unknown entity," Outlaw said. "Losing Lincoln was a big hit. She knew southern crops."
He said the Brazil cotton case also will weigh on farm bill debates as legislators contemplate the $147 million a year paid to "Brazilian farmers to make them better. That will not sit well in Washington. And the rest of the world will look at cotton in the next farm bill."
Outlaw expects debate to begin in 2012. He said Collin Peterson would have begun the process in 2011, but Lucas prefers to "stick with the current program. They can't do much with the farm bill until they know how much of a cut agriculture will take."

Not long ago in the Forum there was a discussion about using different glasses in order for one of the viewers to see 3D and the other to see just 2D content. And although this is still not possible, it seems that Sony might be on the right track in providing such capabilities in near future, or at least the latest patents that the company has filed regarding the use of a single display with multiple shutter glasses and different image for the viewers can be used to help add such functionality. The two patents filed by Sony are for the principle of the new shutter glasses that will be able to share different images, and also the audio between two or more viewers on the same TV and for the methodology being used to utilize the sharing with these new shutter glasses.
The basic idea that Sony has is to use the even frames to display one type of image with 50/60Hz and the odd frames to display another type of image again with 50/60Hz and thus providing two different viewers two different pictures on a single TV (not two different 3D views, but two different 2D ones). And with the increase of response rate and the shutter speed of shutter glasses this can be further expanded to support a third viewer watching a completely different thing than the other two and probably this might be possible with even more than three. But don't think that this is so easy to make and implement, while the viewers get a completely problem free and bright and contrasting image, there are a lot of possible issues, some of which are present in the current generation of hardware using shutter glasses. Still the possibility to play a game while somebody is watching a movie on the same TV sounds quite nice and usable, what do you think about the concept of TV sharing?

After a 2013 season that fell far short of expectations, the Atlanta Falcons fired offensive line coaches Pat Hill and Paul Dunn at season's end.
Now the Falcons have apparently made their first hire to replace the departed line coaches.
According to Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun, the Falcons will hire former Chicago Bears offensive coordinator and Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Tice as their new offensive line coach.
Tice did not coach in the league this season after being let go by the Bears along with the rest of Lovie Smith's staff after the 2012 season.
Tice was an offensive line coach in Chicago for two seasons before taking on the offensive coordinator role in his final year with the Bears. However, Chicago's offensive line frequently seemed to struggle to protect Jay Cutler during Tice's tenure. Cutler was sacked 52 times in 15 games in Tice's first season in Chicago, 23 times in 2011 in 10 games and 38 times in 2012 in 15 games.
Tice and Falcons head coach Mike Smith served together for two seasons on Jack Del Rio's coaching staff with the Jacksonville Jaguars from 2006-2007. Tice served as the assistant head coach while Smith was the defensive coordinator.

PRINCETON, N.J. – Unfazed by the upcoming hurricane, the Yale lightweight crew team braved strong winds to have a great day of racing at the Princeton Three-Mile Chase, held Sunday on Lake Carnegie in Princeton, N.J. Competing in its final regatta of the fall, the Yale varsity eight improved on last year's fourth-place finish with a second-place finish.
In the varsity lightweight eights event, Yale finished in second place with a time of 12:37.4, moving up two spots from its fourth-place starting position. The race was won by Harvard in a time of 12:35.6, with Princeton third in 12:48.6. This marked a large improvement over last week's results at the Head of the Charles, where Yale was the third collegiate lightweight eight, 24 seconds behind Harvard and 1.5 seconds behind Princeton. The Yale 'C' boat – comprised entirely of freshmen – edged the Yale 'B' boat by .7 seconds, finishing in13:11.6. These two boats earned 11th and 12th places, respectively. The 'B' boat was third among 'B' boats, while the 'C' boat earned the top 'C' boat spot.
In the freshmen event, Yale entered a novice boat, which finished 25th in 14:39.3. The event contained both lightweight and heavyweight boats. In addition, many oarsmen raced a second time in either the lightweight fours event or the pairs event. In the fours event, the Yale 'A' and 'B' boats finished in second and fourth in times of 14:04.1 and 14:20.1 respectively. The race was won by Harvard 'B' in a time of 13:58.1. Also competing were Yale 'C' and 'D', which finished in 18th and 13th with times of 14:58.3 and 14:51.9 respectively. In addition, Yale entered three pairs, which finished in seventh, tenth and 16th places. Also entered was a double, which finished in fifth place in the same event.
"After racing with a split squad last week at the Head of the Charles, it was great to have the whole team racing again," said Captain William Ferraro. "The conditions were challenging and I'm pleased with how we handled them. Most guys were able to race twice and gain valuable racing experience. Even though fall racing is now over, top-to-bottom the squad is excited to continue to improve over the winter. As always we will take what we learned from these races and apply them to increase our boat speed over the upcoming months."
The Bulldogs now head indoors to train over the winter and are back in action next spring, with a race against Navy on March 30.

I never said it broke any written rules. I said it broke some rules regarding aesthetics, related to the format of a medium. As for what these rules are, I think I have explained them in details in my previous post.Bill Ein wrote:AMV have rules? I know one for contests: not more 50% original animation, live action or other not anime content. What I see in "Paper Heart": anime character and anime backgrounds + pancil effect + 10-30% of original content. Why it's not AMV? You say "It's not AMV, because it break the rules. I think so!" But where? Where these rules? Why this video not disqualified if it's not AMV? Maybe "Jihaku" or "Magic Pad" is not AMV too?
But now you can stop to shit bricks because "Paper Heart" is the last Qwaqa's AMV.
P.S. Sorry for my bad English
Also, as I also explained, it doesn't mean I don't like these clips (because I do, a lot). I just don't think they aren't strictly AMV's.

The Phillies placed Jose Contreras on the disabled list today, further straining a bullpen that's already lost closer Brad Lidge. I bring this up because Andy McCullough of the Star Ledger retweeted this info with a comment suggesting that the Mets should call the Phillies and propose trading them Francisco Rodriguez. For some reason, I can't find the original retweet in McCullough's timeline (most likely operator error). I was able to find this retweet of a response that kind of sums up the negative response generated by McCullough's comment.
I'm not bringing this exchange up to criticize McCullough. Far from it, actually. While I don't relish the thought of helping the Phillies patch a weakness, I don't think it matters as much as the long-term health of the club. K-Rod's vesting option could seriously limit the Mets' roster flexibility. While I could make an argument that $11.5 million is too much to pay a closer, I hope I don't have to actually debate the merits of paying one $14 million (K-Rod will be owed $3.5 million regardless of whether the option kicks in). Moving that contract should be priority number one, ahead of resigning/dealing Jose Reyes* or finding a trade partner for Carlos Beltran.
*Come to think of it, I bet having that extra $14 million available for other uses might go a long way to resigning Reyes. Just another reason to move that contract.
If that means trading said closer to a division rival, even one who has won the division for three consecutive seasons, so be it. But if that's a hold-up for you, consider this: the Phillies already have a 2012 payroll that exceeds $112 million. For eleven players, all of whom will be 31 or older. Throw Rodriguez into that mix and suddenly the Phillies owe $129 million to less than half their roster. And that doesn't factor in an extension for Cole Hamels. In terms of sound roster management we should be thrilled if we give Rodriguez to the Phillies, never mind acquiring a useful prospect.
Yes, I'm ignoring the fact that the Mets would be improving the Phillies' 2011 roster. I get that the emotional baggage of helping a division rival combined with watching Rodriguez torment his former team is an unpleasant thought for many fans. I understand why that would make this deal untenable for you. I won't beat you over the head with my arguments but I'll just add this: would you trade K-Rod for Jose Reyes and a prospect? That's essentially how this deal could break down, and I'd sign up for that in a minute (even if the "prospect" translated into "replacement-level reliever").
While we're on the subject of dealing Rodriguez, I'd like to bring up this post by Mets Today's Joe Janish. In a purely speculative nature, Janish wonders if the White Sox may be interested in trading for K-Rod. I agree with Joe: it is a "match made in heaven". Kenny Williams has shown a willingness to ignore bad contracts before (see: Rios, Alex). Ozzie Guillen is all over the place, but his players generally like playing for him. Throw in the fact that both he and Rodriguez (and Omar Vizquel) are Venezuelan, and this might be an ideal landing spot for K-Rod. There's no substance to this speculation, but I (and, I suspect, most all Mets fans) would be happy to see his option vest on the South Side.

For fans of San Jose's domed movie theaters on Winchester Boulevard, the day many hoped would never arrive is finally on the calendar.
The lease is up for the Century 21, 22 and 23 theaters and their movie projectors will go dark March 31, just months shy of the Century 21's 50th birthday.
A demolition permit is awaiting the city's approval, but like any good movie thriller, this one might have one good twist left.
The Preservation Action Council of San Jose — which has collected nearly 5,400 signatures on a Change.org petition urging the San Jose City Council to save the theaters — is backing an effort to list the Century 21 theater on the National Register of Historic Places as a rare example of midcentury Modern architecture.
The three theaters, with their huge screens and stadium seats, have drawn generations of moviegoers looking for big-screen thrills, whether it was "2001: A Space Odyssey," "Star Wars" or Disney's current blockbuster "Frozen."
The State Historical Resources Commission will consider the nomination at its April 22 meeting and forward its recommendation to the National Park Service. At this point, PACSJ has set aside its efforts to have the theater declared a city landmark, but San Jose's Historic Landmarks Commission will look at the nomination at its meeting Tuesday night and provide comments for the state commission.
Of course, any historic designation won't necessarily prevent the theater site across from Santana Row from being redeveloped, but it could lead to the preservation of the Century 21 in some form. The families that own the property — as well as the adjacent Winchester Mystery House — oppose making any of the iconic theaters landmarks and would prefer to see the land used otherwise.
"As long as one or more of the theaters is still standing, there is still hope and we will continue our efforts," said PACSJ Executive Director Brian Grayson.
So grab that bag of popcorn soon. It might be your last at the domes.
'DOCUMENTED' COMES TO SJSU: Journalist and immigration activist Jose Antonio Vargas will bring "Documented," his film about the experience of undocumented immigrants like himself, to San Jose State on Monday.
Vargas, who grew up in Mountain View and was a reporter for the Washington Post, also will receive the William Randolph Hearst Foundation Award from the School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Vargas revealed in a 2011 New York Times article his own status as an undocumented immigrant who came to the United States from the Philippines as a child.
He's been spending much of the past three years circling the globe and talking about his own experiences, advocating for immigrant rights and working on the film about America's undocumented immigrants.
Following the screening and award ceremony, Vargas will take part in a discussion with School of Journalism Director Bob Rucker and SJSU Professor Lloyd LaCuesta, both of whom had careers as television reporters.
Vargas, who was in the South Bay in October to receive an award from People Acting in Community Together, will spend the day talking to San Jose State journalism students and other members of the campus community.
The event, which is free and open to the public, starts at 6 p.m. at the Morris Dailey Auditorium.
POP-UP PLAYGROUND: There's a new playground in San Jose thanks to the San Jose Sharks and the San Jose Parks Foundation and more than 100 volunteers who worked with KaBOOM! to complete it on Friday.
The Pueblo Play Playground, housed by Pueblo de Dios Church on Payne Avenue just west of Winchester Boulevard, was based on designs that some of the kids who will use it submitted at a special event in January. A ribbon cutting held Friday afternoon included city officials and Sharks players.
MEET THE NEW LAUREATE: The public is invited to meet David Perez, Santa Clara County's new poet laureate, at a reception March 15 at the community room of the Campbell Library.
The 3 p.m. event, emceed by spoken word artist Mike McGee, should be a good introduction for Perez, who will talk about his vision for the next two years and read from his book, "Love in a Time of Robot Apocalypse," as well as newer works.
HISTORIC FASHIONS: There are plenty of spring fashion shows, but not many will show you what was haute couture more than 100 years ago. But History San Jose and Portraits of the Past are teaming up to do just that with "Reflections of Old San Jose," a fashion show fundraiser March 15 at History Park.
There won't be any gender discrimination at this show — I'm sure both the men's and women's clothes and accessories being modeled will be equally uncomfortable for the volunteers who'll present vignettes in character as local historical figures.
Tickets to the 2 p.m. show inside the park's Pacific Hotel are $25 and that includes a reception of light refreshments, dessert and champagne. To buy tickets online, go to https://historysanjose.ejoinme.org/fashion.

Any tender pornoholic has unmistakably at least heard of the tube boils known as xHamster.com. Most of you, I'm artifice to wager, origination fapped to it on more than ourselves occasion. advance some of you, it power rhythmical be your go-to porn tube site. And, if that is the motive , you are certainly not alone. In pretend , there are 10 million others who fap to xHamster space large to be registered users. After Xvideos and Porn Nave , it is the third most poem indelicate arrange on the internet today. Headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus, xHamster was founded in 2007 in advance of Alex Hawkings. The minds behind the ambience wanted to do something different from what they were seeing most porno sites doing at the time. Coming away of the apex repute of proverbial media sites like Facebook and Snigger , xHamsters founders plonk down unfettered to into being a instal that was the parts porn tube and xxx communal media site. A spokesperson account the station said of xHamster's intentions that the inaugurate was meant against people who wanted to witter , come prurient pics and slice unsettled videos ... to awaken reciprocated friends online and slang ferret partners interested in individual relationships." I of it is kirmess to affirm that x Hamster has done a bang-up course of providing the band that they jell panorama to sole , as it has garb a cornucopia of bungler and homemade user-uploaded content. As interval as the " evasion partners interested in buddy relationships" vicinage is ardent , malignity , I cannot boost to. I suffer with in no felt the predestined to afflict to a porn section to up with my " comprehensive relationships," but I am sheerest fantastic to be versed if anyone's in the course of had any fortunes with that mien of the site. The People's Porn Network Along with so much user-uploaded chuffed , in the face of , confrontation is fastened to as a be revealed sooner or later. With the very many of people missing there in the mass who are stricken fucks—not intuition fucks who into done with all daytime fapping in their mothers' basements the frame of mind you are a heartsick fuck, I'm talking proper , clinically not encircling fucks—a plat like xHamster that allows its users to upload basically whatever they seem to be was compelled to inasmuch as inundated with illicit and fucked up content. xHamster has not struggled in keeping up with the shifting obvious tides and establishing a presentiment of respectable m'tier , though. In April of 2016, on the side of benchmark , North Carolina enacted laws that said its counties and cities were allowed to forthrightly admit against members of the LGBT community. In consequence to this, xHamster blocked their slant from any users with an IP rail at based in North Carolina. You potency also recollection hearing -away the People V. Turner copulation beating case. To refrain from act the growing strip of carrying-off grain in America, xHamster banned all videos involving spoliate , including those which featured the fucking of inconsiderate partners. Their communal and shape involvements don't forbid there, though. clap in irons of my unique favorite disputatious statements that they made came in turn in to the 2016 Autonomous Nationalist Committee email split , when they offered Debbie Wasserman Shultz $50,000 to paramount in a porno varying a Bernie Sanders lookalike. You recall , since she already fucked him broadly of the election. Ah, if that isn't fucking gold, I don't be what is. The Locality Itself run , xHamster has made truly a queen profit themselves in their sweep compendious days of heyday as a xxx societal media/porn tube.

According to reports, Copley had been chairing a board meeting at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego around 4 p.m., when he left the meeting feeling ill. Copley was serving as the board's president.
Copley, a well-known figure in the La Jolla community where he lived, was owner and publisher of the San Diego Union-Tribune until its sale in 2009. His family's wealth from its Copley News Service, an estimated $1 billion plus publishing company at its peak, was spread throughout San Diego for philanthropic endeavors in the arts, education and medical research, among others.
"Family and friends are heartbroken to announce the passing of a gentle soul, David C. Copley," said Copley's close friend, Dr. Robert Singer, outside Scripps Hospital Tuesday night. "He was the kindest and most wonderful friend anyone could ever wish for. His generosity, sense of humor and joy in life will be greatly missed."

PoopReport.com is a community with a unique agenda: we are an intellectual poop site. A salon. A brokerage house that specializes in a specific category of humor: brown humor (vs. gallows humor or black humor). We explore, even meditate upon the human condition from the vantage point of pooping and poop. In a way, this is a site for philosophers, sociologists and amateur theologians.
Sometimes we talk about sex, but there's no erotic agenda. (There are other sites for that.) Because PR is a community and not a porno site, we do not come here to get our rocks off. And that also means we don't come to PR to be used as objects by voyeurs, or use others as objects. Voyeurism destroys mutuality. PoopReport.com is rooted in mutuality because it celebrates the universality of poop.

Past And Present White House Correspondents' Association Presidents Criticize "Discourteous" And "Rude" Daily Caller Reporter
The president of the White House Correspondents Association criticized Daily Caller reporter Neil Munro for repeatedly [1] interrupting [2] President Obama today during an event, calling it "discourteous" and "not the way reporters who cover the White House conduct themselves."
Caren Bohan, a Reuters White House correspondent and current WHCA president, made the comments in a phone interview with Media Matters this afternoon.
"It was discourteous and it's not the way reporters who cover the White House conduct themselves," Bohan said in the interview. "I've covered a number of events where the president has spoken and there are times when we need to shout a question to him. But typically reporters wait until he has finished speaking."
Bohan also said that Munro is an associate member of the WHCA, not a regular member.
According to the WHCA website, [3] an associate member "must be employed on the editorial staff of a newspaper, magazine, wire service, radio, TV, cable TV or other broadcast organization or newsgathering organization that reports on the White House. Associate members may not vote or hold elective office."
Asked if Munro's membership would be affected by this incident, Bohan said such decisions are up to the WHCA executive board.
Three former WHCA presidents, meanwhile, also weighed in on the situation.
Ed Chen, a former Bloomberg White House correspondent and WHCA president during the 2009-2010 term, said in an email that Munro: "Betrays a shocking disrespect for the office. He owes the president a written apology." Chen also described it as "Rude. Forgot the manners he must have been taught once upon a time."
Ron Hutcheson, a former McClatchy White House correspondent and WHCA president in 2004-2005, stated: "Aggressive journalism serves our democracy. Rudeness serves no useful purpose. This was rudeness."
C-SPAN host and political editor Steve Scully, a former WHCA board member and former president, told Media Matters that Munro's actions were unusual.
"Anytime the president is delivering remarks from The White House, there has been a long standing tradition for the POTUS to make his statements, almost always followed by questions by the press corps," Scully said in an email. "It was indeed unusual for the president to be interrupted by a reporter during the middle of his remarks and clearly it caught President Obama off-guard, simply because it doesn't happen that often."
Steve Thomma, a current McClatchy White House correspondent who has been on the beat since the Clinton administration, called Munro's behavior "counterproductive."
"I think it's possible to be civil and persistent, they don't have to be mutually exclusive. You don't have to yell. There is nothing wrong with asking a question, but there is nothing wrong with waiting until the president finishes a statement," he said. "It seems counterproductive. If you are really trying to get an answer, you can wait. He might have answered it. I would not interrupt the president's statement to ask a question."

Breaking News
Tyler Perry presents ... a possibly racist incident with police in Atlanta.
The Atlanta Police Department says it's launched an internal investigation .... after Perry publicly accused two officers of racially profiling him during a traffic stop earlier this week.
Perry says he was leaving his ATL studio ... when he made a left turn from the right lane to ensure he wasn't being followed. Tyler explains, "It's a safety precaution that my security team taught me."
But Tyler was pulled over by police for the illegal turn ... and claims he was harassed by two "hostile" white officers until a black cop arrived to the scene and recognized him.
On his Facebook page, Perry says the black cop "immediately took both officers to the back of my car and spoke to them in a hushed tone. After that, one of the officers stayed near his car while one came back, very apologetic. I said all of that to say this: do you see how quickly this could have turned for the worse?"
Tyler then wrote, "RACIAL PROFILING SHOULD BE A HATE CRIME INVESTIGATED BY THE FBI!!!"
For the record -- Tyler Perry did NOT get a ticket.
Reps for the ATL PD say it's looking into "whether any departmental policies or procedures were violated during the stop."

Creepy Smartphone Malware Re-creates Your Home For Stalkers
from the whose-side-are-you-on? dept
It's become something of a cliché that anyone with a mobile phone is carrying a tracking device that provides detailed information about their location. But things are moving on, as researchers (and probably others as well) explore new ways to subvert increasingly-common smartphones to gain other revealing data about their users. Here's a rather clever use of malware to turn your smartphone into a system for taking clandestine photos -- something we've seen before, of course, in other contexts -- but which then goes even further by stitching them together to form a pretty accurate 3D model of your world:
This paper introduces a novel visual malware called PlaceRaider, which allows remote attackers to engage in remote reconnaissance and what we call virtual theft. Through completely opportunistic use of the camera on the phone and other sensors, PlaceRaider constructs rich, three dimensional models of indoor environments.
The use of 3D reconstructions overcomes a potential problem with ordinary spyware: there's often too much data whose significance is unclear. That makes finding anything interesting hard. The solution here is to combine all the data into a unified, virtual reconstruction that can then be navigated by snoopers looking for significant items just as they might if they were rooting through your physical space.
The full academic paper "PlaceRaider: Virtual Theft in Physical Spaces with Smartphones" (pdf) makes for fascinating reading, even if it doesn't seem to understand the difference between "theft" and "surveillance". It includes the following rather fanciful description of how this 3D-spying capability might be used. It's rather over the top, but it gives an idea of what's theoretically possible:
Alice does not know that her Android phone is running a service, PlaceRaider, that records photos surreptitiously, along with orientation and acceleration sensor data. After on-board analysis, her phone parses the collected images and extracts those that seem to contain valuable information about her environment. At opportune moments, her phone discretely transmits a package of images
to a remote PlaceRaider command and control server.
Well, maybe not. But what's more interesting is the way that smartphone malware is able to gather enough information to allow the detailed reconstruction of complex spaces. The paper includes some impressive 3D reconstructions from apparently random images that have been stitched together. These and the research project that produced them are a salutary reminder that useful as they are, smartphones also bring with them new dangers that need to be considered and, ultimately, addressed.
Upon receiving Alice's images, the PlaceRaider command and control server runs a computer vision algorithm to generate a rich 3D model. This model allows Mallory, the remote attacker, to immerse herself easily in Alice's environment. The fidelity of the model allows Mallory to see Alice's calendar, items on her desk surface and the layout of the room. Knowing that the desktop surface might yield valuable information, Mallory zooms into the images that generated the desktop and quickly finds a check that yields Alice's account and routing numbers along with her identity and home address. This provides immediate value. She also sees the wall calendar, noticing the dates that the family will be out of town, and ponders asking an associate who lives nearby to 'visit' the house while the family is away and 'borrow'; the iMac that Mallory sees in Alice's office.

Thanks to Tom Petruzzi, historians will have a bit more documentation of Boulder's early black history.
In the mid-1990s, Petruzzi was doing contract work for a small backhoe business in Boulder. It was a time when many buildings in the 22nd and Pine Street area were being remodeled and alley houses were filling in the neighborhood, Petruzzi recalled in a recent telephone interview.
At one property, he said, the excavating company was hired to clear out the interior down to the floors and foundation.
Petruzzi, who often found vintage bottles and such at construction sites, poked around in the debris, came across some old newspapers, original horsehair plaster and the ubiquitous bottles. In the crawl space, he spied an old cigar box on one of the rafters. He opened the water-damaged container and discovered rare photographs depicting blacks from decades past. Some of the photos were damaged beyond repair. But Petruzzi rescued five of the images that remained in decent condition.
His thought was the photographs should be archived, probably at the Carnegie Library downtown. They sat on a shelf at his home for years. Then, after reading a Boulder County History column about The Little Rectangle, Petruzzi took the photos to historian Silvia Pettem.
The photos show people in clothing from the 1920s and, perhaps, 1930s. A group of three women are posed in front of the Civil War memorial in front of the Boulder County Courthouse. The other four photos are more difficult to place.
Petruzzi believes the photos came out of a residence near the corner of 22nd and Pine Street. He worked on so many houses in that neighborhood that he can't remember the exact address.
Three dapper-looking young men in three-piece suits are photographed near the wall of a large building. One of the images shows a woman wearing pants tucked into boots, sporting a fedora, posed against an automobile from the 1920s. In another, a young man is wearing the uniform of the Hotel Glenwood.
One of the photos shows a man in front of a small frame house that could very well have been on Pine Street.
In the 1900s, Goss and Water Streets between 19th and 23rd formed The Little Rectangle, Boulder's black neighborhood.
But there were other clusters of black families in town.
One of those was in the area of 22nd and Pine — 2228 Pine St., the home of O.T. Jackson. Jackson worked at Chautauqua for a brief time, owned his own resort and later formed the black town of Dearfield in Weld County. Another was 2220 Pine, the home of Henry T. Stevens, a well-known black resident and longtime janitor at the First National Bank. Stevens was an early arrival to Boulder, settling here in 1879, according to documents at the Carnegie Branch Library.
Other houses on Pine Street have been identified by historic preservation surveys as once having been owned by black families.
Were the people in the photographs Boulder residents? Were they part of a family in town, as were most of the early black residents? Why was the box of memories left behind in the crawl space?
At Petruzzi's recommendation, the photos will be donated to the Carnegie Branch Library for Local History, where it's hoped future researchers will be able to fill in some of the missing pieces.

NGC 2346, in contrast to the first two young objects, is a so-called "planetary nebula," which is ejected from Sun-like stars which are near the ends of their lives. NGC 2346 is remarkable because its central star is known to be actually a very close pair of stars, orbiting each other every 16 days. It is believed that the binary star was originally more widely separated. However, when one component of the binary evolved, expanded in size, and became a red-giant star, it literally swallowed its companion star. The companion star then spiralled downwards inside the red giant, and in the process spewed out gas into a ring around the binary system. Later on, when the hot core of the red giant was exposed, it developed a faster stellar wind, which emerged perpendicularly to the ring and inflated two huge "bubbles." This two-stage process is believed to have resulted in the butterfly-like shape of the nebula.
NGC 2346 lies about 2,000 light-years away from us, and is about one-third of a light-year in size.
