Cerb - Tuesday, February 21, 2006 - linkWAIT.
So what is the x1300 performs better and costs less? I can get a 6200 for $50 or so, and will be able to do this with the 7300 in a few months (maybe sooner). Current buyers pay early adoption fees. It is, and always has been, this way.
Also, other reviews are showing it competitive with the x1300... Reply
MrKaz - Tuesday, February 21, 2006 - linkX1300 killed it with no problem.
X1300 Pro would have even rise the difference.
Maybe the 7300GS is the slowest of all the 7300 models?
"Now that we've talked about the card, let's look at the performance. We've included a few other budget cards for comparison to get an idea of how the 7800 GS fits into the market"
Typo. Reply
A554SS1N - Tuesday, February 21, 2006 - link"Maybe the 7300GS is the slowest of all the 7300 models? "
Yeah, it is - GS is the same as vanilla, so 7300GS is supposed to fight X1300 vanilla not the pro - add to that the fact that this EVGA card may have slower memory than the reference, and it makes the 7300GS look bad, when it shouldn't. If it had the reference memory speeds, I'd expected a big leap in performance. At the speeds in this review, it is definately poor. Reply
A554SS1N - Tuesday, February 21, 2006 - linkIs it possible to force card to use only it's own memory? I mean, if it were to have 128mb for example (I know this has 256mb), which is usually Ok, would it help performance if it was just set to use it's own memory (without the latencies of going out to system RAM) - and is it possible to manually set this? Reply
A554SS1N - Tuesday, February 21, 2006 - linkI noticed that the memory speed given in the review was 350Mhz (700Mhz effective) rather than the reference 405Mhz (810Mhz effective), and the previous comment made about the EVGA card only being 533Mhz seems to back up the reason why the performance figures are lower than expected compared to other reviews I have seen - I mean, the card doesn;t really perform a great deal faster than the 6200TC for some strange reason, yet I've seen otehr reviews where a 7300GS is alot faster than the 6500 (which is in turn quite a bit faster than 6200TC), and equal with X1300...
So the question is:- Is this partiuclar EVGA card a cheaper version with much lower memory than reference, and thus cards going at proper reference memory frequencies will be much more competetive. It's just that, with these performance figures, I wouldn't choose this card at all for a budget system, whereas something on par or better than X1300, which I was expecting, would have just about been Ok. Reply
A554SS1N - Tuesday, February 21, 2006 - linkUpdate:
From what I've found, the card with the cooler design on EVGA's site that is in Anandtech's review is the 533Mhz one (256mb). The other 256mb card is 650Mhz effective. Only the 128mb HDTV version has 810Mhz DDR2 http://www.evga.com/products/moreinfo.asp?pn=128-P...">Link
So, yeah, of course the card tested will be alot slower!!!! Can Anandtech include a full speed card in their review please! :) Reply
coldpower27 - Tuesday, February 21, 2006 - linkYes, that's why led me to beleive it's the model that I posted the link of, was the cooler design. I would like Anandtech's confirmation on this though. Reply
Rampage - Wednesday, February 22, 2006 - linki agree this is an unfair review.
and IMO, it read sloppy from the get go.. this isnt what I expect from Anandtech. Reply
coldpower27 - Monday, February 20, 2006 - link
What model of eVGA 7300 GS did you test, could you please give the model number.
Because it looks like you tested with this one:
Which has memory clocked at a pathetic 533MHZ, it's not a wonder that the X1300 defeat it so easily.
You are aware that the reference 128MB 7300GS has memory clocked at ~800MHZ/810MHZ which would easily help even the odds, given that on budget cards >128MB doesn't seem to do much if at all for performance.
DigitalDivine - Monday, February 20, 2006 - linkthis review left a hole... for instance... the specification of the x1300...
is it the hyper memory version or not?
if it isn't then the review isn't quite fair.
coldpower27 - Monday, February 20, 2006 - linkI think Anandtech dropped the ball a little on being specific on which models was tested with the cards, and exactly what clockspeed it was, you could at least have it very nicely explain on the Test Setup page, and not have us to look for it in the article for ease sake.
I did see the clockspeed in the article itself but would prefer a list in the Test Setup page. Reply
maxstr - Monday, February 20, 2006 - linkI would like to see comparison between the 7300 and the 6800. Is it an upgrade? Reply
coldpower27 - Monday, February 20, 2006 - link
No. It is not, this card get beaten by the Geforce 6600, let alone the 6800 Series. IF your looking at an upgrade to the 6800 go to a 7800 so you will actually see a performance improvement. Reply
kmmatney - Monday, February 20, 2006 - link"The 7300 GS also has 3 vertex and 4 pixel pipelines, the same as the 6200, but our EVGA 7300 GS has a larger memory size of 256 MB verses 16-64 MB of the 6200TC"
Does this mean this card has 256 MB of on-board memory, or is that the amount of system memory it can use? Please explain. Reply
coldpower27 - Monday, February 20, 2006 - linkThis Geforce 7300 GS Series is currently limited to 128MB or 256MB of memory, and through TC can be marketed as a 256MB or 512MB card thru TurboCache using system memory.
The Geforce 6200 TC Series was limited to 16MB, 32MB, 64MB of actual memory and could be marketed as a 128MB or 256MB card through TruboCache using system memory. Reply
yacoub - Monday, February 20, 2006 - linkI'll never understand all the talk about low to mid range cards for budget tight people and then you test it with a friggin' FX-55. lol Reply
coldpower27 - Monday, February 20, 2006 - linkEliminate all other variables, other then 1 single conponent so you can see the effect said 1 conponent has on performance rather then try to deduce the effect the processor has in addition to the video card. It a very logical scientific approach. Reply
yacoub - Monday, February 20, 2006 - linkgarbage and it's tiring seeing this misconception continually foisted in the article comments at this site.
on its own, it's utterly irrelevant data to those who might actually purchase such a card. it would be useful as an ADDITION to an actual test with a modern mid-range system which would provide the MOST USEFUL numbers to folks looking at what GPU to buy to spruce up their S754 / S939 3000+-3200+ / P4 2.8GHz-3.2GHz system.
People who already have their system and just want to upgrade the GPU need to know one thing: What GPU will help them get the most fps improvement in the games they play on THEIR system - a midrange system - before diminishing returns kicks in and the price-to-performance-gained ratio drops off (ie, buying an X1900XTX for $550 might not gain them many more fps than buying a $250 7800GT simply because their cpu is limiting them once they own a card above a 7800GT. Thus, the important thing for them to see is how each GPU performs on a midrange system playing the games they play at their resolutions (likely 1024x).
How the card does on a cpu-unlimited system only tells part of the story and not the most important part at that. Reply
yacoub - Monday, February 20, 2006 - linkto continue the point: if I have a midrange system, and i want to know which GPU to pick up to get the most out of the gpu upgrade, the data most important to me is how each GPU out there will perform in my midrange system. if, to continue the previous example, i find out that going above a 7800GT isn't going to gain me a significant improvement in fps, yet obviously the price goes up, I then know the 7800GT is the card to buy to get the most out of my current system as far as GPU is concerned.
Clearly being a GPU review we're concerned with how the GPU performs. That's fine, but then in your conclusion you can only recommend which card is best for an FX-55 system. If the only part I want to upgrade on a mid-range system is the GPU, this article would be perfect for information for me - IF it actually used a mid-range system in the tests. Then I could see how this card fills into the ranks of GPUs out there as I seek to find the one that offers the most bang-for-the-buck (fps-for-the-dollar).
i hope this is comprehensible for everyone. in the past some folks here simply don't get it and only care to see dick measuring contests for individual pieces of hardware and never a useful review for the consumer who would actually use a given piece of hardware.
again, it's a nice review for what it is (a hardware dick measurement, aka no-limitations benchmark), but it's not all that helpful for folks in the real world. Reply
coldpower27 - Monday, February 20, 2006 - linkThis isn't a CPU scaling analysis to provide useful data to you to see how this GPU would effect different processor that I think can be done in another article, that would provide the useful infromation you seek. I don't think the article is garbage, the method is sound. The information your asking for would be another article entirely.
yacoub - Tuesday, February 21, 2006 - linkTo paraphrase your post, "This isn't a CPU scaling analysis to provide useful data to you to see how this GPU would perform for an actual system that would use it."
That's exactly what I'm saying too. Reply
Egglick - Tuesday, February 21, 2006 - linkIt seems that after every low/midrange videocard test, there's always a couple "simple" people crying about how the CPU used for testing was too fast.
The point is to test the videocard, and the videocard alone. Adding other variables such as slow CPUs and memory bottlenecks only complicates things, and gives you a skewed view of how the videocard actually performs when there aren't other components affecting it's performance. This is a videocard test, not a full system test. Adding slower components to drag down the scores would give us incorrect results as to how the videocard performs. Obviously you haven't taken any science classes beyond basic highschool level.
What you're asking for is a CPU scaling test (where it's known that the videocard isn't the only variable), and they much more involving and time consuming. Reply
yacoub - Tuesday, February 21, 2006 - link
It seems that after every low/midrange videocard test, there's always a couple "simple" people crying about how the CPU used for testing was too fast.
My system is pretty highend yet I'm at least capable of understanding the pointlessness of this review for the folks who would actually buy this card, while you are clearly not able to do so.
The point is to test the videocard, and the videocard alone.
Wow, how worthless is that for the buyers of this card.
Adding other variables such as slow CPUs and memory bottlenecks only complicates things, and gives you a skewed view of how the videocard actually performs when there aren't other components affecting it's performance.
Again, worthless. adding a realistic CPU for the system this card would be in would give you an ACCURATE view of how the card ACTUALLY performs.
This is a videocard test, not a full system test. Adding slower components to drag down the scores would give us incorrect results as to how the videocard performs.
I don't know about you, but I don't play games on a videocard, I play them on a complete computer, thus knowing how the card performs in a real world system of someone who would actually be interested in this card would make the MOST sense.
Obviously you haven't taken any science classes beyond basic highschool level.
Obviously you can't comprehend simple logic and reasoning and resort to personal attacks, but at least some folks here are a bit more capable.
What you're asking for is a CPU scaling test
No, what we're asking for is a useful test of this videocard in the type of system it'd actually go in. It's no more "time consuming or involving" than this test, really. Just put in a different CPU and you'd be 90% of the way there.
Show me a gamer who buys an $800 CPU but a budget GPU and I'll show you the person who hasn't "taken any science classes beyond basic highschool level". Reply
peldor - Tuesday, February 21, 2006 - linkA Sempron is easily capable of delivering faster framerates than these video cards, let alone a low-end Athlon 3000+. Maybe on a Celeron you're dropping low enough that the CPU is a bottleneck.
On a mid-range card review, your point would be much more relevant. For these cards, not so much IMO. Reply
yacoub - Tuesday, February 21, 2006 - linkThey should mention that then, at least in the conclusion if not in the Test Setup page. Reply
oneils - Tuesday, February 21, 2006 - linkNo, we're just asking Anandtech to back up their conclusion:
"While many gamers will find the card unappealing because of its limitations, it does have the ability to play games at lower quality settings and resolutions quite well, and for those who only dabble in gaming and don't feel like spending much money on an upgrade, this card might be a good choice."
Really? A good choice? For who? FX-55 users? Or are mid-range cpu users included in this as well?
yacoub - Tuesday, February 21, 2006 - linkAnd if mid-range cpu users are included in their statment as well, how can they justify such a comment when they didn't actually test the card in a mid-range box - the very type of system this card would be put in?
Don't expect a reply though, you're making too much sense. ;P Reply
mczak - Monday, February 20, 2006 - linkSorry, but the performance numbers are completely useless if you don't mention if the cards in question have 32bit/64bit/128bit memory interfaces, the amount and clock speed of the memory (especially important for the TC cards). Those cards can easily differ by a factor of 2 if compared to themselves (i.e. card with the same name) just because of that alone. Reply
Questar - Monday, February 20, 2006 - link"The 7300 GS will most likely raise the bar for budget cards in the future."
How can it raise the bar when it performs worse than, and costs more than an x1300? Reply
tedward - Monday, February 20, 2006 - linkNvidia is claiming that this card will offer great video/DVD playback. I would think most people interested in this card would be non-gamers, with a HTPC box. Would be nice to see how it performs compared to the x1300 w/Avivo, and the 6150/430 chipset. Reply
agent2099 - Monday, February 20, 2006 - linkFanless heatsinks should be the standard for these budget cards. Reply
Egglick - Monday, February 20, 2006 - linkThe 7300 is supposed to have all the same video features that the 7800 series has, so it should perform in the same way that a 7800 would to a X1900.
The 7300GS is certainly a decent card for the price, but the X1300 is a better card. ATI has better video playback quality right now, and many of the X1300's are available with fanless heatsinks. Add to that that the X1300 has slightly better gaming performance and is available for the same price, and it's a no brainer. Reply
Patrese - Monday, February 20, 2006 - linkThe X300 is on the top of the chart on the Quake 4 graphic ate 1024x768 High Quality... it is a mistake, isn't it?
BTW, could you post a picture of the card? It's kinda useless, but still I'd like to see it! :) Reply
Josh Venning - Monday, February 20, 2006 - linkThanks for pointing out the mistake, we're fixing it now. We've also added a picture, as per your request. :-) Reply
peldor - Monday, February 20, 2006 - linkThe memory on the X1300 is also listed as 500GHz. I need me some of that! Reply

Why test an low-end $80 video card that utilizies system ram in a high-end system with 1GB of ram?
Because that is the same test system used for all benchmarks. If you changed it then the results would not be compairable to what a faster graphics card would do. The idea is to keep all variables the same except for the one that you are working on, it's all fundimental to the scientific method.

artifex - Tuesday, February 21, 2006 - linkI think it should have been tested both ways: once for the database entry, where the testbed needs to be the same, but also once in a system budget gamers actually have.
By not also testing on a lower end platform, you miss the opportunity to discover that maybe system bottlenecks make it so that all of these cards seem to have identical performance.
mindless1 - Monday, February 27, 2006 - linknot in this case, we can presume with a fair bit of certainty that a low-end modern CPU (especially at the time these cards will ship in systems) would easily be more than enough to make the video card the primary bottleneck by far. Keey in mind that even an Athlon XP2000 can manage to go over 800x600 in the tested games with the right video card. Reply
bwmccann - Monday, February 20, 2006 - link100% agree with this. There is no one in there right mind who would spend that kind of money on a CPU then go for a low end video card.
Brian Reply
plewis00 - Monday, February 20, 2006 - linkSomeone always asks something like this every time a review is posted and the answer is usually the same: that it eliminates unwanted variables in testing. Same thing goes with disabling the sound. Anyway, I personally would rather have as pure figures as possible than ones which may be affected by a CPU or RAM bottleneck, maybe that's just me. Reply
bwmccann - Monday, February 20, 2006 - linkIf that is the case then include a realistic CPU with the review. Go with one from AMD and Intel to see the comparision of the CPUs.
Brian Reply
brownba - Monday, February 20, 2006 - linkI know that's the common response,
but it's so unrealistic.
you wouldn't stick this card in a system with that FX55. Reply
Sunrise089 - Monday, February 20, 2006 - linkI 100% agree except for the fact that you're wrong. Nobody would pair a FX-55 with a 7300, but plenty of people would pair an overclocked Opteron 144 at FX-55 speeds with a 7300 if they wanted a fast PC but didn't play games. Reply
rayo123 - Monday, February 20, 2006 - linkWell of course someone would, many would, not everyone buys computers just to play the latest games. Given the recommended hardware for the upcoming Vista, I imagine more and more people are going to be pairing something like a 7300 with a high-end CPU. Reply
rqle - Monday, February 20, 2006 - linkbase on the graph x1300 > 7300GS, and can be found at a lower price.
i think its better to play BF and other games at 80+ FPS with a similar price x800GTO without HDR, then with this card at 20+ FPS with its 3.0. Reply

LIBURN, Ga. – After a 9-0 start to the 2013-14 season, the Saint Leo women's basketball team has broken into the national spotlight in the latest Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Poll, it was announced Tuesday afternoon. After five weeks of undefeated play, the Lions have received 85 votes, the most of any unranked team. The number of votes situates them just one spot outside of the WBCA Top-25.
The Lions squad is off to their best start in program history with their perfect 9-0 record, and the team recently began Sunshine State Conference play with a win over No. 16 Rollins College. The win against Rollins signaled head coach Nikki Jessee's 100th career win, and the first time that the Lions have beaten a top-ranked team this season. In fact, their last victory over a top-25 team came with a win over No. 15 Tampa during the 2012-13 year.
Earlier this week, Saint Leo women's basketball player Teresa Manigrasso also received SSC Player of the Week honors for her weekly performance against Flagler and Rollins.
The Saint Leo squad will look to continue their undefeated streak on December 20 when they travel to Anchorage, Alaska to play Brevard College in the AT&T Hoops Classic. The contest is set for 5:00 p.m.
For more on the women's basketball program, visit SaintLeoLions.com. Also, be sure to 'Like' the Lions on Facebook and 'Follow' Saint Leo Athletics on Twitter and Instagram.

New Zealand's Lydia Ko has had the biggest win of her professional career, taking the Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic tournament in California.
World No.4 Ko, at 12-under-par, beat No.3 Stacy Lewis of the United States by one stroke at the $US1.8 million ($A1.95 million) tournament to pocket $US270,000 ($A292,000).
South Korea's Jenny Shin was another shot back for third.
It is one of the highest purses for women golfers on the LPGA Tour this year for a tournament that is not a major.
With a round to play on Sunday, Ko trailed Lewis by one stroke after the pair went virtually stroke for stroke on Saturday.
Ko admitted the pressure was "intense" after a three bogeys, including two on the front nine.
However, her total of six birdies were enough to overtake Lewis.
Ko birdied the par-5 final hole after reaching the green from the rough on the left side of the fairway.
Her single putt, to go to 12-under, was enough to secure her the win.
Ko admitted she played better when alongside Lewis, who has career earnings of $US6.5m.
Lewis also paid tribute to Ko, who had answered every challenging shot she played.
Ko's previous biggest win was in December, when she won Swinging Skirts World Ladies Masters in Taiwan.
Securing a sixth professional tournament capped a memorable week for Ko, who turned 17 on Thursday and was included by Time Magazine in its annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/4/2013 (1581 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers annual Fan Forum at Canad Inns Polo Park went head-to-head Tuesday night against the Winnipeg Jets-Washington Capitals game on TV.
The winner? Bombers GM Joe Mack.
On a night the Jets were playing their most important game of the season, the fans who did show up for last night's fan forum -- the room was only about two-thirds full -- were mostly the truest of the Blue Believers.
The empty seats and friendly demographic of the room seemed to take the potential sting out of a night that marked the first time local fans had a chance to confront Mack since the debacle that was a 6-12 season in 2012.
The result was Mack escaped the night largely unscathed. There were no questions about his decision to fire former head coach Paul LaPolice midway through last season or his failure during the off-season to find an experienced CFL quarterback to backstop the oft-injured Buck Pierce.
The toughest question came near the very end of a 25-minute question and answer session when a 40-year season-ticket holder rose and pointed out to Mack what he said were striking similarities between this time this year and this time last year: an injury-prone starting quarterback, unproven backups, the off-season departure of important starters and the continuing refusal by Mack to get aggressive in the free agent market.
"Everything seems the same," the man told Mack, "and I had no hope last year and, I have to say, I have no hope this year. So my question to you is what can you tell me to eliminate my despair and renew my hope?"
Mack reprised parts of a refrain he'd used earlier in the night when he pointed out the highlights of Winnipeg's 2012 season: the league-leading performance of the Bombers offence the last seven games of 2012; the performance of rookie all-stars like RB Chad Simpson and WR Chris Matthews; two late-season wins over Montreal and a win in Toronto over the eventual Grey Cup champion Argonauts; and all of it in the face of an onslaught of injuries, especially at quarterback.
"I hope we can convince you moving forward that you should have hope," Mack told the man, "and that your hope is justified."
With Mack's lynch mob apparently at home watching hockey, this night belonged instead to Bombers head coach Tim Burke, who put in a comedy performance that had the crowd in stitches.
A sampling of Burke:
- Referencing an old line from former Bombers head coach Bud Grant that every successful football coach needs a patient wife, a loyal dog and a great quarterback -- "not necessarily in that order" -- Burke said he struck out. "My first wife left me, we had several dogs who died and after I became head coach, we had to rotate through three different quarterbacks."
- Burke had a message for the local ladies as he introduced new special teams coach Craig Dickenson. "Craig is single," Burke announced, "although there's probably a reason for that. But pass the word -- he's available."
- Burke pointed out new defensive backs coach Carl Franks comes to Winnipeg from Western Illinois University, which is located in tiny Macomb, Ill. "Home of three-legged dogs and grain silos," said Burke. "You've got to drive two hours to get to a four-lane road."
- New running backs coach Steve Hladio, said Burke, comes to the Bombers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. "For you Canadians," explained Burke, "Polytechnic is Latin for really smart."
- After introducing Pierce to the crowd, Burke glanced over and dead-panned: "I think the first event we have at the stadium is a prayer event, right?" As the crowd and Pierce began to giggle, Burke delivered the punchline -- "Hopefully they have some healers there."
By the time Burke was done, the crowd was roaring and Mack was talking about a new job for himself. "If we have a rough year and I need to find a new job," Mack told the crowd, "I'm going to become Tim Burke's campaign manager to become a standup comic."
Meanwhile, Bombers CEO Garth Buchko told the crowd that all but 18 of the new stadium's 33,500 seats have now been installed, all the luxury boxes are finished and city inspectors are coming this week to inspect the concession stands.
Incoming board chairman Brock Bulbuck told the crowd that in addition to adding a 13th team director and opening up the nomination process to the public, the club also now intends to rotate out one to three directors every year beginning immediately.

Harvard Business School has launched its big US competitiveness project. It's a full-bore research-led effort dedicated to improving "the ability of firms operating in the US to compete successfully in the global economy, while supporting high and rising living standards for Americans". How will non-American alumni feel about that?
Michael Porter, HBS's competitiveness expert, is in the vanguard. He talked to me about how the US was starting to lag behind when I interviewed him in September, and he and colleague Jan Rivkin reiterate some of these themes in a video interview for the competitiveness project with Justin Fox of Harvard Business Review. As Porter says:
The US's vitality and dynamism [are] really very fundamentally important to the global economy.
Fair enough. But the project does underline that HBS, for all its aspirations to attract more international students and faculty, is an American business school, with American preoccupations. There is something a little odd about hearing Nitin Nohria – the first HBS dean born outside the US – declare in another video interview that he "can't think of a problem that affects everybody in the world, not just in the US, more than this question of US competitiveness". Really? Read more

A young woman with learning difficulties is facing eviction from her home as a result of legal action taken against her bankrupt parents.
Clare McCabe, 25, currently lives in a house in New Milton along with two other vulnerable adults and a support worker.
She is due to be evicted at the end of this month because of a dispute between her parents Tom and Bridget and accountancy giant Grant Thornton.
It stems back to 2008, when Tom McCabe sold his telecoms company VIP.com. He failed to ensure he and his wife were removed as directors and the company went on to run up a £330,000 debt with BT.
They were later hit with a bill for £750,000 – the original bill and Grant Thornton's costs of more than £400,000.
The legal fees increased again, taking the total bill to around £1.3million. Mr McCabe claims he has never been provided with an itemised breakdown of costs. He said they had to declare themselves bankrupt.
Grant Thornton were then appointed to be Mrs McCabe's trustees in bankruptcy, which could add a further £600,000 to the fees.
A possession order has already been issued for the couple's home in South London, and, at Bournemouth Crown Court, District Judge Martin Dancey issued a possession order for the New Milton property. This property is in Mrs McCabe's name because of Clare's learning difficulties.
Zac Goldsmith, the McCabe's MP, has written to Grant Thornton stating: "The fundamental question is just how a disputed debt of £333,000 could increase virtually sixfold to an amount just short of £2million with no real attempts being made to seek a sensible and just solution to the original dispute."
A spokesperson for BT said: "BT had no choice but to take legal action to recover this large debt."
A statement issued on behalf of Kevin Hellard, partner at Grant Thornton UK LLP, and David Standish of KPMG – the trustees in bankruptcy of Mrs McCabe, said: "The trustees have made every effort to realise their interest in the property without the need for evicting the tenants.
"They have investigated agreeing a sale with a party nominated by Mrs McCabe, who did not proceed with the purchase.
"The trustees also sought to obtain rental agreements for the occupants to explore if the property could be sold with the occupants in place, however Mrs McCabe has resisted the attempts to obtain the information and the trustees' agents advised that the documentation eventually produced is not satisfactory to enable the trustees to market the property with the occupants.
"The trustees had no option but to seek vacant possession and the court, having heard all the arguments and reviewed the evidence, has agreed that this is the appropriate course."

Joe Allen and Steve Morison out of Wales squad, Jermaine Easter called up
Joe Allen and Steve Morison are out of the Wales squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Scotland and Croatia.
Last Updated: 21/03/13 6:35pm
Liverpool midfielder Allen has aggravated a troublesome shoulder problem which almost saw him miss out on Chris Coleman's original squad, while Leeds striker Morison has pulled out due to a calf injury.
Coleman responded by calling up Jermaine Easter, who is currently on loan at Millwall from their south London rivals Crystal Palace and scored in the win over Charlton on Saturday.
The boss had expected Allen to play a part in the qualifiers, despite his injury, revealing earlier this week that he had not heard anything from Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers to suggest otherwise.
Allen requires surgery on his shoulder problem, a procedure that will sideline him for around three months, and both the player and his club are keen to have the operation soon in order to be fully fit for next season.
The 23-year-old was named in the starting line-up for Liverpool's 3-1 defeat to Southampton on Saturday, but he was withdrawn at half-time.
Coleman's men are seven points adrift of Group A pacesetters Croatia and Belgium and face an uphill battle if they are to end their long wait for a place at a major finals.

I look forward to Andrew Luck passing another test tonight

I look forward to Andrew Luck passing another test tonight
Even if Luck struggles, as long as he learns from it, thats all that matters. I hope to see the Steelers throw their A game at him. Hopefully he does well anyway. But if not its hardly the end of the world.
Pitt TD looked fluke-ish
looked like a catch and possible fumble
I forgot Hines Ward retired until now
However I expect the Colts to be brought back to Earth a bit I think they will be better than people expect but still have a ways to go.
Wow that was nice.
If I'm Mike Wallace I'm booking a flight to Pittsburgh right now....
That sucks, it was kind of slow I think.
Oh Collie you're the new Bob Sanders can never stay on the field for very long
Luck needs to get his head out his ***
Luck just shredded the Steelers defense. Makes up for his pick 6
really impressed with Donald Brown. If he has any sort of space, he can take it house
I like Vick Ballard. He might be a nice late round pick up.
That interception of Luck will count against his stats, but in no way, shape, or form was that his fault. That pick is 100% on the butterfingers of T.Y. Hilton.
The defense has also played very well besides the td pass
This game is really showing why the stats in a football boxscore are just useless
Luck is officially on fire!
These refs don't like us.
Ignoring holding calls, overturning crap without the evidence and then moving the ball feet further back than it should be. Sheesh.
Oh, and BTW my girlfriend can't stop laughing at the ref who does a silent stuttering/head bobbing motion before he starts speaking.
If Collie has another concussion I don't think it's crazy to think he retires
Luck looked great. Im so happy. Need to get his jersey.
Btw guess who now holds the record for longest fg at heinz field
Those 2 INTs don't look pretty on paper, but with the second one not being his fault, it looks much better. Pick 6 sucks, but guess what, that happens to everyone. Most impressive part was how he bounced back and lead them down the field for a touch down right after it.
Putting up 17 points against a damn good Steelers defense is a good sign. Even if its the preseason, its a good sign.
Also, replacement refs suck. If they start the season with them, its not gonna be pretty.
I'm happy about Luck the guy looks great, I have seen a lot of rookie QB's and this guy is ahead of a lot of them.

Here is the Rangers' release on the draft:
Blueshirts select 5 forwards and 1 defenseman
New York, June 26, 2010 – New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather, along with Director of Player Personnel, Gordie Clark, oversaw the club's activity in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft on Friday, June 25 and Saturday, June 26 at Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. The club, which held six picks in the draft, selected five forwards and one defenseman.
The Rangers began the draft Friday by selecting defenseman Dylan McIlrath with the 10th overall pick. The 6-4, 212-pounder skated in 65 games with the Moose Jaw Warriors of the Western Hockey League (WHL) this season, registering seven goals and 17 assists for 24 points, along with 169 penalty minutes. He received Moose Jaw's Most Improved Player Award for the second consecutive season, establishing career-highs in games played, goals, assists, points, penalty minutes, plus/minus rating (plus-20) and game-winning goals (two). McIlrath was selected to participate in the 2010 Canadian Hockey League (CHL) Top Prospects Game on January 20 as a member of Team Orr, and he finished second in the Hardest Shot event at the Skills Competition with a 91.8 mph shot. The Winnipeg, Manitoba native entered the 2010 NHL Entry Draft as the sixth-highest ranked defenseman and 17th overall among North American skaters in the final Central Scouting Rankings. The selection marked the fourth time in the last six years the Rangers have chosen a defenseman in the first round.
The second day of the draft saw New York choose five forwards, beginning with the selection of Oshawa (OHL) right winger Christian Thomas, son of former NHL player Steve Thomas, in the second round with the 40th overall selection. Thomas led Oshawa with career-highs in goals (41), points (66), power play goals (16) and shorthanded goals (four), and ranked fifth on the team with a career-high 25 assists. He ranked among the league leaders in several goal-scoring categories, ranking seventh in the OHL in goals, and tying for second in the league in shorthanded goals and sixth in power play goals. His 41 goals were also the third-most among all players drafted in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, behind seventh overall pick Jeff Skinner and second overall pick Tyler Seguin. Thomas began his 2009-10 season registering four consecutive multi-point performances, tallying nine points (three goals and six assists) from September 18 at Sarnia to September 27 vs. Sudbury. He recorded a career-high, 17 multi-point efforts on the season, including his first career hat trick on February 5 at Kitchener. Thomas finished the season riding a six-game point streak from March 5 at Kingston to March 13 at Peterborough (six goals and three assists), which included a career-high, five-game goal streak that ended with a two-goal performance on March 12 at Ottawa.
In the fourth round at the 100th position, the Rangers tabbed Florida native Andrew Yogan from the OHL's Erie Otters. Yogan, who became the first player born and raised in Florida to be drafted by an NHL team, established career-highs in games played (63), goals (25), assists (30), points (55) and penalty minutes (97) this season. The Blueshirts then selected forward Jason Wilson of Owen Sound (OHL) with the 130th overall pick in the fifth round. Wilson registered a career-high 17 goals and 18 assists for 35 points in 46 games this season. He ranked second on Owen Sound with six power play goals and 101 penalty minutes.
With the sixth round pick acquired from Carolina earlier in the day, the Rangers selected forward Jesper Fasth of HV 71 Jr. in the Swedish Jr. league with the 157th overall pick. Fasth tied for first on the team in goals (23), second in points (49) and third in assists (26). He also made two appearances for HV 71 of the Swedish Elite League. The trade, which sent defenseman Bobby Sanguinetti to the Hurricanes, also includes Washington's second round pick in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. New York closed out their 2010 NHL Entry Draft by selecting forward Randy McNaught from Saskatoon of the WHL with the 190th overall pick in the seventh round. McNaught registered 12 points (six goals and six assists) and 163 penalty minutes for Chilliwack and Saskatoon (WHL) this season.
Overall, the Rangers selected five forwards and one defenseman, five from Canadian junior hockey leagues and one from European hockey leagues, and four Canadians, one American and one European. The average weight of the Rangers draft picks was 195 pounds, while the average height of the 2010 New York draft class was 6'2".

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/4/2013 (1580 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A new festival hopes to "spur" Winnipeggers into giving extra thought to environmental and economic sustainability.
Spur Winnipeg, a three-day festival of politics, art and ideas, kicks off the evening of Friday, April 26, and will discuss different aspects of the environmental debate, from the business side, to food consumption and the "capture" of nature through art.
The Winnipeg festival is one of three the Spur organization is holding across Canada this year. A similar festival in Toronto will focus on money while one in Vancouver will highlight global issues, says Helen Walsh, publisher of the Literary Review of Canada, which is behind the events along with Diaspora Dialogues and the Ideas Institute.
"There are a lot of individual presentation festivals, but not a festival that formulates ideas," Walsh said.
Each festival will issue a communique following the festival with ideas brought forward by speakers and by audience members, Walsh said.
Environmentalist, author and entrepreneur Paul Hawken is the festival's keynote speaker and he will speak on green entrepreneurship and about changing the relationship between business and the environmment. He speaks Friday at 7 p.m. at the Manitoba Theatre for Young People.
On Saturday, author Sarah Elton will read from her new book, Consumed: Sustainable Food for a Finite Planet and later Saturday, April 27, at 5 p.m., at Eckhardt-Gramatté Hall, will debate the locavore trend with University of Toronto Mississauga geography professor Pierre Desrochers.
At 7 p.m., on Saturday, also at Eckhardt-Grammaté Hall, Winnipeg artist Diana Thorneycroft, Deer + Almond chef Mandel Hitzer and photographer David McMillan will discuss the artistic side of nature.
On Sunday, there will also be a panel discussion about the future of Manitoba literature, a Cinematheque screening of the documentary Lost Rivers, which explores lost urban waterways around the world, and an insider's look at the Winnipeg Art Gallery's permanent collection, led by multimedia artists Shawna Dempsey and Lorri Millan.
A musical evening at The Fairmont Winnipeg on Friday night, with the Winnipeg band The Solutions performing, will add some entertainment to the weekend's debates.
A full schedule of events can be found at the festival's website, spurfestival.ca, where tickets can be purchased. Tickets for each event will also be available at the door.

MARLOW'S top policeman has reassured residents after a two high profile smash and grab raids on businesses in the space of three days.
Inspector Scott Messenger insists a special force-wide team is working on the case after Sainsbury's on West Street BP petrol station and were hit on Thursday and Monday respectively.
Both break-ins happened in the early hours of the morning, with thieves taking cigarettes and scratch cards before fleeing the scene.
And Insp. Messenger said though determined criminals from far afield will always have targets in their sights, Marlow is well equipped as a town to catch the culprits of these crimes.
He said: "This sort of crime is a real problem and that's why we have a force wide team looking at these type of offences.
"Fortunately crime rates in Marlow remain lower than they have been for a long time, but clearly there are organised crime groups who will travel a long way to carry out these [types of] crimes.
"We are doing high visibility patrols to reassure the public, but considering the time these offences took place we can't have officers on every street corner 24/7.
"But if you look at similar size towns across the Thames Valley, Marlow is quite well set up in terms on ANPR and CCTV, we are quite well off in that area."
Thieves broke into Sainsbury's on West Street at 2.30am on Thursday, May 8, using what police described as a heavy object.
The culprits stole a large quantity of cigarettes before fleeing in a silver car.
And at about 4am on Monday morning, police say four men used tools to break through the security shutter of the BP petrol station in Little Marlow Road at about 4am.
Once inside they grabbed a quantity of scratch cards and cigarettes before fleeing the scene in a Volkswagen Golf, officers said.
Police have not confirmed if they believe the two crimes are linked. Marlow has seen several smash and grab raids on business premises over the last few months.
The Esso garage on Little Marlow Road was hit in November, with cigarettes taken after the front door was smashed.
And High Street clothes shop YEUK was targeted over the New Year break, with thieves stealing thousands of pounds worth of jeans, hats and sunglasses.
Despite the high-profile crimes, Marlow has seen a drop in burglaries on businesses in recent years.
The latest figures show 'non-dwelling burglaries' fell 25 per cent last year in the Marlow Neighbourhood policing area, from 159 last year to 119 in 2013/14.
However, Insp. Messenger claims the town's location is unfortunate in terms of the accessibility for organised criminals.
He said: "Fortunately crime rates in Marlow remain lower than they have been for a long time
"The problem Marlow has is it is easily accessible to the bypass and M4. It is unfortunately placed for this and has some targets easily reached.
"Distance wise it may be quite a way to travel but to the organised criminal it is an attractive prospect.
"We always do what we can but there will always be those who target certain places."
- Benjamin Brazil, 27, of Lily Drive, West Drayton, was charged by police on Tuesday with conspiracy to commit non-dwelling burglary.
The charge is in connection with the BP petrol station raid and four others on shops in the Thames Valley, including a Co-op store in Chalfont St Giles and the AM-PM store in Denham.

HOUSTON - University of Houston police put out a warning Wednesday after a woman was assaulted in a bathroom.
University police said the attack happened Agnes Arnold Hall shortly after 8 p.m. on Tuesday.
The victim said she was washing her hands in the second-floor bathroom when she noticed a man behind her. She screamed and he came at her, covering her mouth with his open hands, detectives said.
She struggled with the suspect and managed to kick him. He ran from the bathroom.
The woman called police, but they were unable to find the man.
Police said the attacker was described as a dark-skinned Middle Eastern man in his early 20s, about 5 feet 8 inches tall and 140 to 150 pounds with a neatly-trimmed beard. He was last seen wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt and jeans.
Detectives said they don't know if the attacker is a student.
Officials said student safety is No. 1 priority, and that's why UH police will reactivate their anti-crime team.
"That was so successful in apprehending the criminals last semester following the robbery toward the beginning of the semester, and they will actively be investigating this case," Lt. Bret Collier said.
Police will also re-evaluate their security policy. They are advising everyone on campus to be alert, aware of their surroundings and to not walk around campus alone.
Anyone with information is asked to call UH police at 713-743-3333 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

The last study of Danish converts to Islam "New Muslims in Denmark" from 2007 shows that teenagers form a big portion of converts to Islam.
Nørrebro-imam Abdul Wahid Pedersen explains that Danish teenagers make Muslim friends and then convert to Islam. He also says that he has participated in about 30 conversions this year in Copenhagen and only some of these were over 30 years old.
Samir El-Rifai, head of the Islamic Faith Society in Fyn also points out that most converts in recent years are between 19 and 25. "The youth read about Islam and have Muslim friends in school. Almost all who convert are either done with studies or getting an education, and therefore are slightly older. Today they"re sincerely interested in Islam when they convert," says Samir El-Rifai.
According to the convert study from 2007, about 2100-2800 people converted to Islam in Denmark since the mid 1970's and until 2005. Most converts are women and almost 80% is under 30.

The Dance Of Reality
Dir/scr: Alejandro Jodorowsky. France. 2013. 130mins
Everything you wanted to know about Alejandro Jodorowsky but never imagined asking can be found in The Dance Of Reality (La Danza de la Realidad), a joyously idiosyncratic exercise in imagined autobiography that revisits defining moments from his childhood in 1930s Chile. The first feature in almost quarter of a century from the veteran director of El Topo and Santa Sangre is a surprisingly witty, accessible magical mystery tour through his past that has cult potential in every baroque, eye-popping frame.
The Dream Of Reality is never dull and could attract new converts to Jodorowsky's world as well as the old faithfuls.
It acts as both a summation of many things that have fascinated him (religion, mysticism, poetry, philosophy) and as a means of explaining their personal roots. Jodorowsky's return should be enough to attract arthouse distributors to a film with more theatrical appeal than they might have feared, especially as it is frequently funny and usually intentionally. Jodorowsky has invented a therapy called "psychomagic" involving acts to " heal family-related childhood psychological problems".
The film may be his biggest healing act as it imagines the past as it was but with the addition of Jodorowsky on hand to offer some comfort and reassurance to his younger alter ago. It is also a family affair with his son Brontis on manic form playing Jodorowsky's father Jaime.
The Jodorowsky childhood in Tocopilla appears to have been manufactured by a combination of Fellini and Monty Python. A dwarf appears in a succession of lurid costumes trying to drum up business outside his father's store, limbless drunkards lie around the city centre looking for a fight and circus performers are everywhere. You almost want the Spanish Inquisition to appear but maybe nobody expects them.
The Python connection is even more apparent given that Brontis Jodorowsky bears a striking similarity to the young Terry Gilliam as Jaime, a Stalin-loving Communist who measures his son's masculinity by the amount of pain he can withstand. His mother Sara (Pamela Flores) is a large-breasted lady who sings every line of dialogue with the passion of a great opera diva. In life, she dreamed of being a singer but never was.
In the film, she never stops singing and that is where Jodorowsky has put his imagination into play as he moulds and shapes true events into a more favourable light.
The young Alejandro (Jeremias Herkovits) has the flowing golden curls of a Mary Pickford, a boundless amount of compassion and a sense of being apart from the crowd that wins him no friends among his peers. His determination to win his father's approval sees his locks shorn and his mettle tested in many ways as he is brutally told: " God does not exist. You die and you rot".
The film shifts in the second hour to focus more on the father's spiritual and political journey towards enlightenment. A kaleidoscopic, sometimes chaotic torrent of striking images, comic exuberance and philosophical musing, The Dance Of Reality is never dull and could attract new converts to Jodorowsky's world as well as the old faithfuls.

Which, ironically, puts her in the lead for the fifth straight year in a row. And also in a never ending battle against werewolves.

I wouldn't hold your breath, take a look at this article. http://www.wpcentral.com/carriers-able-block-windows-phone-software-updates-they-see-fit

I'm not. But it seems better that they continue to hear from users than just give up. Verizon can ignore this and everyone else who makes the request.
3. Re: 8107 is coming when?primortal Mar 2, 2012 1:21 PM (in response to ntropy99)
I doubt that anyone of importance views these threads. Of all the posts in this community no one from VZW has chimed in. If you're on twitter send https://twitter.com/#!/VZWSUPPORT a tweet.
If not you'd get better results calling support once a week.
4. Re: 8107 is coming when?rsd Mar 6, 2012 4:17 PM (in response to primortal)
Yeah, I have been calling and no clarity yet and they even had me calling HTC saying it is HTC's problem. HTC pointed out to me that the update has been released to Verizon!
Verizon does not care about Windows Phone users!
5. Re: 8107 is coming when?jsh17001 Mar 21, 2012 9:31 AM (in response to ntropy99)
Come on VZW. Just give us the update. Prove that you are willing to support WP devices. Quit sitting you your proverbial butts and make it happen.
6. Re: 8107 is coming when?texanator Mar 21, 2012 11:28 AM (in response to ntropy99)
It would be very nice to have the 8107 update. I get the disappearing keyboard as much as 5 times in a row when trying to type a text message.
However 1 update per phone SEEMS to be verizon's way of operating. My wife has the Droid X and has only ever recieved 1 update for it in nearly 2 years.
Looks like we burned our 1 update in getting Mango.
7. Re: 8107 is coming when?ntropy99 Mar 23, 2012 5:20 PM (in response to ntropy99)
Hello, Still waiting to hear from you Verizon. Maybe you don't want to release because you have a new phone for us. Unfortunately, I am not of those people who get a new phone when it is released. Maybe the Maldroids can, but not me. I would just like to know - Yes or No. Simple question with a simple answer - Will you be updating the Trophy to 8107?
I won't go into more questions like why not if "No". I love this phone OS and will wait it out. But I will want a WP8 in Feb '13 - So, I hope you are prepared for me.
Again - still waiting to hear from you. Thanks
8. Re: 8107 is coming when?primortal Mar 23, 2012 7:42 PM (in response to ntropy99)
Most likely VZW is waiting for Tango to apply the update to the Trophy.
9. Re: 8107 is coming when?AtomicInternet Mar 27, 2012 1:08 PM (in response to ntropy99)
I'm sick of Verizon throwing WP7 under the bus constantly. Here's an article I used to force upgrade, obviously do this at your own risk, but my keyboard no longer disappears randomly: http://www.wpcentral.com/force-updating-your-windows-phone-os-build-8107-tutorial

My problem
I'm doing a school project where I have to create a program that will power and light up three LED lights, where a different LED lights up depending on what key you press.
The problem here is that I haven't learned anything in my programming class on how to have python transfer voltages from the pc to the LED lights at will, nor have I learned to
control which light I will power up. I would appreciate any help on how to start this project and at least understand what I'll have to do. Thanks for any help you output.

As far as I've tested MITM with ettercap I've never found an home router that prevented ARP spoofing, however I haven't a broad experience 'cause I'm only an amateur (forgive me for my bad english too).
I did some googling and I found these, it shows that it is possible to mitigate an ARP spoofing attack in well determined conditions, so it could be that some router implements such features but I don't think so not by now and not if your router isn't brand new XD
As I found in this paper(see scenario 3) from cisco systems, they developed something called ARP inspection (described in an human-readable form here in their blog). It seems to be something similar to your scenario (if I understood well): as they say in the blog, enabling ARP inspection will make the router drop strange ARP replies, but I think it's not your case 'cause I don't think you used professional routers such the one of the cisco's demo. In addition they talk about static ARP tables and again I don't think it's your case.
Answering your last question i think ARPSpoof and Ettercap are the best ones, I didn't searched for others 'cause it Always worked with them, but I think that if you google around for a while you'll find something...
If you find somethink keep me up to date! I'm interested in this topic too!

Most hardware stores will sell a green and maroon pad for metal prep/rust removal. It looks to be pretty much the same as the Norton stuff I use. The Grey Norton pad works well as the last step, the white adds a bit of shine to the blade if I want it to look prettier. I strop on these pads on the counter or hard surface; you can do a satin finish (perpendicular to the edge) or a "hand rub" (parallel to the edge) with the pads, but you will probably need to touch up the edge again after doing so with the last stone you used. http://www.woodcraft.com/search2/search ... ive%20pads220, 320, 400, 600 grit sandpaper also works when used with a cork backer or hard felt to remove the scratches/refinish a blade.

What to enroll?
What: Free English classes
Where: Millhopper Branch Library, 3145 NW 43rd St.
When: 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays through April 16

The classes, held from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. every Tuesday, will run through April 16, said Ileana McCray, the English class facilitator.
Although the classes were initially offered only to Spanish speakers, they are now open to anyone from any country. Most students are 19 or older, but there have been younger participants in the past.
Participants will learn conversational and survival English, McCray said. Survival English includes day-to-day vocabulary and expressions to help non-English speakers communicate on a daily basis, she said.
Many times, the classes become a social network for students, who make friends and learn about the community.
Class members often are foreign exchange or graduate students from the University of Florida or Santa Fe College, and classes are made up of about eight to 10 people.
Beginning, intermediate and advanced English students are in the same class so everyone can participate, no matter the level of English they speak, McCray said.

Jonathan Scholl, a league volunteer, said the classes help prepare participants who seek to apply for U.S. citizenship. The classes are aimed at getting students ready for the application, the English literary test and the civics test.
Anyone can enroll, but participants must be 18 or older to receive naturalization.
No registration is necessary. Meetings are every Thursday at the Millhopper Branch Library. The last meeting is March 28.

Information Technology Director Named One of the
Country's Most Influential Government Leaders
Government Technology magazine recently named Wanda Gibson, director of the Department of Information Technology, as one of government's five most influential female chief information officers.
Through strategic and policy planning, Gibson directs the department's 450 employees and its many business units including information security; courtroom and public safety technologies; Web site development; infrastructure; financial systems; business applications; and Geographic Information Systems, among others. Gibson is a member of several professional groups including serving as the most recent chair of the Washington Metropolitan CIOs; Council of Governments CIO Committee (2006-2007 chair); National Capital Region Interoperability Working Group; Commonwealth of Virginia Interoperability Advisory Group; Virginia IT Leaders; Metropolitan Information Exchange; and Government Management Information Society.

So as you've probably heard by now, the Mets lost the Jonathan Broxton Derby to the Kansas City Royals, who will pay him $4 million next season. Apparently the Mets were interested, but not willing to pay him that much.
Keep in mind that the Mets offered a better overall opportunity, with Joakim Soria blocking Broxton's path to saves in Kansas City, and his competition for closing duties in New York consisting of… Manny Acosta?
Those opposing the deal pointed out, fairly, that spending $4 million on Broxton, far from a sure thing, is problematic for a team with other big problem areas and little money to address them.
That last part is key.
In the world Sandy Alderson thought he lived in last year, a land with a roughly $140 million annual payroll budget, he'd have $60 million or so to spend this winter if he wished. Within that context, spending $4 million for a one-year commitment to Broxton makes sense- no long-term tie, and a chance to add a dominant reliever for a cut-rate price. And he's less than 8 percent of your free agent budget.
That's what you'll get at $4 million. Broxton is a question because of his health. If he were healthy, he's not a $4 million pitcher, but several times that. At $4 million, you are either getting upside with questions, or proven mediocrity.
The essence of Moneyball is getting undervalued assets. And the intriguing part of bringing Alderson in last October was precisely how many undervalued assets he could add on a New York budget. Some pan out, some don't. But the more chances you take on such players, the better your chances of finding the good ones. Get three players right on such risks, and you can contend. Well, a lot easier to go 3-for-12 than 3-for-3.
Instead, it looks like Alderson has more like $12-15 million, max, to spend this winter. Suddenly, a risk like Broxton is around 30 percent of your offseason budget. And if he doesn't pan out, you have no fallback closer. So that money needs to be spent instead on certainty. And at that price? Certainty equals a mediocrity.
The point is, the money problems of ownership mean a lot more than just an inability to sign Jose Reyes. It impacts Sandy Alderson's ability to fix this team in ways large and small.

A COACH driver who caused the deaths of one of his passengers and a lorry driver while travelling to Evesham over the drink-drive limit has been jailed for six years.
Jasminder Singh Dhesi had been drinking high-strength lager hours before his unroadworthy coach broke down three times on a fog-bound motorway, where it was eventually struck by a heavy goods vehicle.
Birmingham Crown Court heard that Dhesi, 50, failed a roadside breath test after the crash, which claimed the lives of coach passenger Liaquat Ali and haulier William Mapstone.
Mr Mapstone, from Wells in Somerset, died in hospital after the collision on the M5 near Birmingham on March 24 last year, while Mr Ali, from Smethwick, West Midlands, was pronounced dead at the scene.
During Tuesday's sentencing hearing, it emerged that Dhesi was fined for drink-driving 12 years ago after falling asleep and crashing a bus into another vehicle.
Passing sentence, Judge Michael Chambers QC expressed concern as to whether Dhesi, of Nether Hall Avenue, Great Barr, West Midlands, was remorseful for his actions.
Judge Chambers told the father-of-two, who pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving, that the fatal accident near Frankley Services on the southbound M5 had been entirely foreseeable and avoidable.
The judge told Dhesi: "Travelling on the motorway as you did clearly caused a substantial risk to other road users and also the passengers on your bus.
"The aggravating features are the degree of risk that you created, having regard to the road conditions and the size of your vehicle, and that two deaths have been caused. There is also an aggravating feature in that you were driving under the influence of alcohol."
The court heard that Dhesi, who was driving a party of more than 30 fruit-packers from Birmingham to Evesham, was initially found to have 46 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, above the legal limit of 35 micrograms. But a test carried out at a police station two hours after the crash gave a reading just below the legal limit and Dhesi was not charged with drink-driving.
The judge, who imposed a four-year driving ban, told the coach driver: "In my judgement it can be safely inferred that two hours previously it would have been over the legal limit for driving. At the root of the present case is a serious loss of judgement - alcohol impairs judgement."
Relatives of Mr Mapstone, 65, and Mr Ali, a married father-of-three, attended court to see Dhesi jailed.
Speaking to the media outside the court, Mr Mapstone's son-in-law, Kai Markall, read a statement on behalf of the family. Mr Markall said: "The family would like to express their thanks to all of the emergency services and those that were involved on the day of this tragedy, who all worked tirelessly to minimise everyone's loss.
"Special thanks go to the family liaison officers who have helped provide the answers to all the painful questions we all wish to know when going through this unimaginable pain.
"William, dad, grandad, Bill Mapstone, leaves behind a loving wife, four beautiful children who in turn provided him with 14 heartbroken grandchildren.
"The loss of life and pain felt by the Mapstone family can never be measured in the sentence passed today.
"The family can only hope that from this tragedy others will learn that your actions and choices in life can seriously affect others."
Giving a message to other drivers, Mr Markall added: "If in trouble, call for help. Better to be late than to never arrive.
"Hopefully today is closure for the family but please feel our pain. Please share our loss. Drive safely, arrive late."
A statement was also read to the media by solicitor Katijah Ahmed on behalf of Mr Ali's wife, Fozia Shaheen, and his brother, Ashfaq Ahmed.
In their statement, Mr Ali's family said: "We have been through a tragic ordeal over the last 11 months.
"Liaquat was a wonderful husband, father and brother who doted over his three young children.
"Whilst we are relieved that justice has been served today. We will never be able to overcome our loss."
