Top Tools
Top Tools: Best Speed, Baserunning, and Makeup
There are 80-grade runners and then there's Billy Hamilton. Almost to a person, Hamilton was dubbed the fastest player the BP Prospect Team and industry scouts had seen in their careers. In his past two minor-leagues seasons, Hamilton has stolen 258 bases across three levels. In 2012 he broke a long-standing minor-league record and ended the season with 155 steals in just 132 games. As if the stolen base totals weren't enough evidence of Hamilton's blinding speed, scouts routinely report home-to-first times in the 3.40-3.45 second range; blowing the 20-80 scale out of the water. Hamilton is an elite runner in every respect. He gets up to top speed in just a few quick steps, sustains his speed well while running the bases and has shown good closing speed in the outfield. Hamilton's speed is a game-changing tool that will carry him to the big leagues, and the second he steps on a big league field he will be the fastest player in the history of the game.
Other Players Considered: Byron Buxton (Minnesota Twins), DJ Davis (Toronto Blue Jays), Terrance Gore (Kansas City Royals), Roman Quinn (Philadelphia Phillies)
There are plenty of 80-grade runners in the minor leagues; they're just not as fast as Hamilton. Davis and Quinn have stood out as legitimate 80-grade runners in every sense of the phrase. Gore earned extensive praise for his top-end speed with consistent 8s from scouts. As if Buxton's wealth of potential plus tools weren't enough, he brings elite speed to the table as well, making him a threat on the bases and in center field.
Top Major League Speed: Michael Bourn (Cleveland Indians)
All-Time Tool: Vince Coleman
How to Identify It: The baseline for identifying speed remains the home-to-first time. This time is determined by starting the stopwatch at the crack of the bat and stopping the watch the instant a player's foot hits the first base bag. The basic scale for assigning grades to home-to-first times is as follows:
In a perfect world, these grades are assigned on the basis of multiple home-to-first times, giving the scout a clear picture of the player's typical speed. There will be some variation in times turned in by a player, depending on their "dig" or how they get out of the box, and collecting multiple times can allow for a more accurate representation of what should be expected day to day. From this basic grade a scout can project how they believe a player will maintain his speed long term. Much of this projection hinges on the body type and how the player is expected to mature. The application of a player's speed will be factored into other grades on a scouting report, including his defense, baserunning. For players for whom speed is a considerable part of the game, it will also be accounted for when grading the hit tool.
Already an elite runner, Gore brings exceptional baserunning instincts to the table as well. He has shown uncanny aptitude for reading both right-handed and left-handed pitchers from first base, allowing him to gain a tremendous advantage over any catcher trying to gun him down. In addition, Gore reads the ball very well after it is hit, giving him the opportunity to break early on balls that will be out of the reach of a defender and have a chance to sneak an extra base because of his excellent jump. On his own hits, Gore does a very good job of reading the relationship between the defender and the ball, and knowing the outfielder's arm strength to make a determination on taking extra bases. As BP's Jason Parks put it, "He doesn't make outs on base."
Other Players Considered: Jackie Bradley (Boston Red Sox), Francisco Lindor (Cleveland Indians), Roman Quinn (Philadelphia Phillies)
Neither Jackie Bradley or Francisco Lindor are what scouts would consider burners. They are above-average runners who can impact the game on the bases because of their natural instincts and baserunning acumen. Generally speaking, both Bradley and Lindor are lauded for their high baseball IQ, and that flashes when they take extra bases thanks to heady reads and excellent jumps. On the other hand, Quinn offers elite speed and has shown quality instincts, allowing his speed to play up a notch. Quinn is still refining his ability to read pitchers and get jumps when stealing bases, but his ability to read the ball and defenders in order to take extra bases is already very good.
Top Major League Baserunner: Desmond Jennings (Tampa Bay Rays)
All-Time Tool: Tim Raines
How to Identify It: Baserunning can be difficult to pin down without focusing on a player and having the opportunity to see him during multiple games. So much of identifying baserunning hinges on the situations a player faces in a game, so a scout can go several days without really having a feel for how a player reacts once on base. When a player reaches first base, a scout may focus on how he reads the pitcher; looking to see how the player reacts to what the pitcher does. Does he consistently misread lefties by stepping back to the bag when the pitchers are in fact going to the plate? Does he get a good jump on his secondary lead or steal attempt when the pitcher does go to the plate? Beyond a player's feel for stealing bases, baserunning grades also account for the ability to properly read balls off the bat, getting appropriate jumps on balls that are going to fall for hits, and taking extra bases with intelligence rather than reckless abandon. Noticing these factors takes a keen eye amidst the other action on the field. Scouts are looking for any hesitation when rounding bases, how quickly a runner is moving when the ball is put in play and, more simply, how frequently a player creates an out on the bases.
While his obvious baseball ability is what draws most of the attention, Lindor's makeup allows his tools and skills to play at a high level in any environment. Lindor is an exceptionally hard worker who works to eliminate the weaknesses in his game as well as refine his strengths. He offers an intelligence and level-headedness on the field that are unusual for a player his age. Lindor's ability to deal with failure and continue performing at a high level stands out among his peers as well as among players significantly older than him. He is an extremely competitive player who shows an ability to elevate his level of play to match the skill level of the players around him. Everything about Lindor hints at the exceptional makeup he carries behind his impressive tool set. From the way he interacts with others to the way he carries himself on and off the field, Lindor epitomizes top notch makeup.
Other Players Considered: Albert Almora (Chicago Cubs), Dylan Bundy (Baltimore Orioles), Jose Fernandez (Miami Marlins), Kevin Gausman (Baltimore Orioles), Jurickson Profar (Texas Rangers)
The list of players considered for best makeup in the minor leagues could have gone on forever. Jose Fernandez's story has been well chronicled in recent days and he easily could have slotted in the top spot instead of Lindor. Fernandez is mature beyond his years and has every desirable trait in a player. The same can be said of Albert Almora and Jurickson Profar, who both have that intangible quality about their games. Throughout the spring, scouts had wonderful things to say about the work ethic, maturity and on-field composure of Orioles teammates Dylan Bundy and Kevin Gausman. Both pitchers have what it takes to move very quickly through the minor leagues and they have the maturity to handle a big-league assignment very early in their respective careers.
Top Major League Makeup: Derek Jeter (New York Yankees)
All-Time Tool: Jackie Robinson
How to Identify It: Makeup is without a doubt the most complicated attribute a scout is asked to evaluate. It's not about being a nice guy and it isn't any one thing. Makeup is a combination of work ethic, competitiveness, desire, leadership, intelligence, dealing with failure and so much more. There is no clean way to evaluate a player in any one of these areas. It's a messy gray area that requires more than just time and personal observation. It requires a scout to talk to players, coaches and other scouts to get a feel for how a player acts. It requires a bit of a history with a player, including the possibility of actually knowing the player personally. A player's makeup is born out over time and evolves as he matures emotionally. Being arrogant or a jerk doesn't preclude a player from having generally positive makeup, but it can disguise the fact that he is a positive influence in other ways and is considered to have "it." Deciphering a player's makeup is never as simple as watching how early he shows up to the park, how hard he works on an offday, or how he treats media members. It's about how he acts and reacts in a variety of situations that tells a scout whether or not a player has the makeup to handle the rigors of major-league life.

Nice to see your nod to Jennings as top MLB baserunner. I think many people, and especially the projection systems, are underestimating him in a number of ways. But I LOVE your selection of all-time best make-up. An astute recognition that there's more to baseball than just baseball.
Apr 05, 2013 07:03 AM
Richard Bergstrom
When EqBRR came out, I remember Juan Pierre being rated very highly.
Apr 07, 2013 02:42 AM
Love this series. I agree that Jackie Robinson was the perfect choice.

BP staff
Thanks guys! I appreciate the kind words toward the series. It was a lot of fun to debate and put together.
Apr 05, 2013 07:22 AM
No nod to Desheilds in speed?
Apr 05, 2013 08:59 AM
Did Derek Jeter receive mentions in base running? Maybe it's fan biased but I recalled his base running decision has always been high praised. Not sure if he was among best in the league, which is my question here.
Apr 05, 2013 09:19 AM
Isn't it RJ/Rajai Davis/Toronto instead of DJ Davis?
Apr 05, 2013 09:21 AM
D.J. Davis is a prospect in the Jays farm system. He's very fast.
Apr 05, 2013 09:34 AM
So according to the 20-80 speed chart, Billy Hamilton has 140 speed? Does he have the single best tool anyone has ever had?
Apr 05, 2013 09:26 AM
Dan W.
What's the significance of makeup, though? Is it about allowing a player to reach his top potential? Mitigating the likelihood of drop-offs in performance due to behavioral issues/apathy/being out of shape? Improving his teammates around him? Likelihood of doing "the little things" (backing up throws, etc.)? All of the other skills have much more direct correlation to on-field performance, whereas it's not obvious what the point of scouting/grading makeup even is (not that I doubt that there is one).
Apr 05, 2013 09:55 AM
Not sure recognizing someone as "All Time Tool" is the best possible word choice actually...
Apr 05, 2013 10:23 AM
Has Hamilton ever been timed at the 100 metre dash? He'd have to be somewhere below 10.5, at least...
Apr 05, 2013 10:31 AM
If Hamilton did nothing but beat the ball into the ground via grounders and bunts, what would his slash line be? The Reds are hoping he has just a bit of line drive power that could make him a star. As a Reds fan, I'm very much looking forward to seeing him daily but we don't know what we have yet.
Apr 05, 2013 10:49 AM
Now just for fun can we have a "grit" ranking please?
Apr 05, 2013 11:19 AM
Top grit tool in the minor leagues: Cutter Dykstra
Apr 05, 2013 13:50 PM
How does gore match up against hamilton? Could he push towards the SB in the minors that hamilton put up last year with better pitcher reading ability?
Apr 05, 2013 11:21 AM
"[T]he second he steps on a big league field he will be the fastest player in the history of the game."
Apr 05, 2013 11:23 AM
People would ask Buck O'Neill how fast Cool Papa Bell was, and his answer (per Joe Posnanski) was always "Faster than that."
Apr 05, 2013 15:58 PM
John Carter
I would like to see more about make-up and whatever tools players have that we can't see in their stats.
Apr 05, 2013 12:40 PM
Mike V.
I always thought Fernando Vina had the best makeup. I mean, it literally looked like his facial hair was painted on with makeup.
Apr 05, 2013 12:57 PM
Top baserunning of all time? Rickey.
Apr 05, 2013 15:19 PM
Richard Bergstrom
Stolen-base wise, Raines had a higher percentage of success than Rickey but I don't know, anecdotally, who was better at actual baserunning. Interesting how Henderson, the all-time leader in runs, stolen bases, and 2nd in walks didn't register with an all-time tool, though he had a lot of elite tools.
Apr 07, 2013 02:47 AM
Russell A. Carleton
BP staff
One of these days, I wanna have a conversation with all of you about makeup.
Apr 05, 2013 20:49 PM
All-time best makeup: Avon Driggers or Dennis Dove?
Apr 06, 2013 08:30 AM
I'd think Rose would actually rate extremely high in the makeup department. After Robinson, I can't think of another player more driven and competitive than Rose.
Apr 06, 2013 10:55 AM
Anybody remember Joey Gathright and Reggie Abercrombie? Let's hope Hamilton doesn't turn into those 2.

FROMESIDE Gymnastics club are hoping the success of London Olympians Imogen Cairns and Jennifer Pinches will inspire more youngsters to follow in their footsteps.
Cairns and Pinches both began their journeys from a young age at the Winterbourne-based club and were part of Great Britain's most successful women's artistic team since the second world war by finishing sixth at the North Greenwich Arena.
They were both national age group champions while at the club before moving away from the area, with Cairns joining former Fromeside head coach Liz Kincaid at the Academy in Portishead when she was 14 and Pinches moving up North with her family when she was nine.
Cairns, 23, became the first gymnast to come from the club and go on to represent Great Britain at an Olympics when she went to Beijing in 2008, while 18-year-old Pinches made her Games debut in London.
Fromeside manager Margaret Powell has been involved with the club for 18 years and was delighted to see Cairns and Pinches performing on the biggest stage of all after coaching them both when they were youngsters.
"It's great for the club and great for gymnastics," said Powell.
"I would like to think it would inspire all youngsters to get into gymnastics.
"We have got good kids coming up so hopefully we will have more to come, but you don't know what's going to happen in years to come."
Powell noticed something special about Cairns and Pinches straight away.
She said: "You can pick talent quite early on, but you can't pick determination to push yourself.
"I remember Jenny firing herself onto the vault in her first couple of weeks."
Coach Kim Whittingham, who worked under Kincaid at Fromeside and is still mentored by her, was starting out when she came across Cairns and Pinches for the first time and remains in contact with both of them.
"Jenny was a cheeky little thing, and a very talented young lady," Whittingham recalled.
"You could give her a book and she'd teach herself gymnastics.
"My daughter wanted to be like Imogen because she was the best at the club. She was lovely and easy to coach."
Whittingham watched Cairns and Pinches in action in the qualifying session at the North Greenwich Arena and also believes Fromeside can benefit from their success, with more people looking to take up the sport.
She said: "We're so proud to be involved and to be part of what we were watching was fantastic.
"It enforces all the basics and beginning blocks, which all started at Fromeside.
"Gymnasts don't tend to talk about their grassroots clubs but we're lucky that Jenny and Imogen have publicised Fromeside.
"I feel like we should be able to benefit from that and it's nice for Fromeside to have that recognition."

HARRISON, Mich. - The Coast Guard rescued 9 people Saturday from a disabled boat that was taking in water on Lake St. Clair.
"A siren went off on the boat. We looked down. Mark was Driving. But we looked down and the check engine, you know, light came on," said Chris Brock, who was on the boat at the time.
The boat was stranded in the vicinity of the Middle Channel.
"I thought we were going under. I thought we were going under," said Mark Leach, who was driving the boat.
The boaters started to using plastic cups to get the water out of the boat.
Before the Coast Guard arrived on scene, TowBoat U.S. and a good Samaritan assisted the boaters. The Coast Guard boat-crew then transferred the 9 boaters onto a 33-foot SPC-LE rescue boat.
The Coast Guard transported the 9 boaters to Clinton River Boat Ramp in Harrison. TowBoat U.S. towed the disabled boat to the same ramp.
"The boat can be replaced. But life can't," said Brock.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/8/2014 (1110 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
He's experienced all the runner-up positions in the last three years so Listowel, Ont.'s Corey Conners says he's ready for the big prize.
Conners has proven it through three rounds of the Canadian Men's Amateur Championship, shooting two-under-par 68 today at Elmhurst to take a one-shot lead to Thursday's final round.
Conners, at eight-under 204, leads New Mexico's Sam Saunders by a single shot. Saunders shot 71 today.
Conners, 22, was tied for third in 2011 when the championship was hosted by Niakwa. He was fourth in 2012 in Ottawa and tied for second last year in Victoria.
"I came here with the mindset it's my time to win," Conners said. "I'm just trying to do my thing out here and we'll see what happens. But there's still another round to be played. I'll give it my best."
Conners' day could have been a whole lot better, as he had four bogeys and two birdies over his last six holes. His lead was three shots at one point.
But Golf Canada has gone to some extraordinary measures to keep scores from going too low for three days at Elmhurst. For three days, tees are back, par has been reduced to 70, many pins are in extreme positions and the course has been baked to a firm-and-fast surface — greens included.
"You've got to be really thinking out there, making smart decisions," Conners said. "I'm usually pretty good at that so I don't really mind how they have it set up. But some of the pins are right on the edges and if you miss it on the wrong side, you have very little chance of hitting it close."
Southwood's Bret Thompson, who had a share of the lead early today, slipped to a 72 today and stands tied for sixth at four-under, four off the lead.
St. Charles' Derek East held it together well today, firing a 70 to sit at two-under in a tie for 13th.
Niakwa's Todd Fanning was one-under 69 today and is at even par through three days, while Elmhurst's Scott Mazure was 72 for six-over, Pine Ridge's Josh Wytinck 77 for seven-over and Breezy Bend's Eric Johnson 76 for 10-over.

WINTER PARK, Fla. – Adding to an already stellar season, the sixth-ranked Saint Leo women's soccer team dominated the 2011 All-Sunshine State Conference women's soccer team, announced Wednesday by league officials. Headlining the Green and Gold was Cassie Barbaresi, who collected the coveted Player of the Year title, while head coach Ged O'Connor earned his first ever nod as SSC Coach of the Year.
A total of 24 student-athletes have been selected as members of the 2011 All-Sunshine State Conference Women's Soccer Team. Barbaresi and Lynn's Melissa Ortiz were chosen as Co-Players of the Year. Ortiz was also tabbed Offensive Player of the Year. Rollins' Michelle Dillingham was recognized as Defensive Player of the Year, while Ari Foreman was named Freshman of the Year, helping the Lions to capture three of the five to spots on this year's All-Conference awards.
A senior, Barbaresi posted 23 points for Saint Leo. She tied for third in the league in total points and ranked third with nine assists. A native of Bradenton, Fla., Barbaresi's seven goals tied for eighth in the SSC.
In his sixth season at Saint Leo, O'Connor led the Lions to the first SSC regular-season title in program history. O'Connor's squad has posted an impressive 15-1-1 overall record, going unbeaten in league play with a 7-0-1 mark. The Lions surrendered only two goals in SSC play. Currently ranked No. 6 in the latest NSCAA Division II Coaches Poll, The Green and Gold fielded the league's top-scoring team this fall. The Lions led the SSC in both points (7.9 per game) and goals (2.8 per game).
Foreman made an immediate impact in her debut season at Saint Leo, playing in 12 games with 10 starts. Making her way to the SSC from Tinton Falls, N.J., Foreman tallied 11 points, including four goals and three assists.
The Lions placed a total of six student-athletes on this year's All-Conference team, with four picking up First Team accolades. Joining Barbaresi on the top tier were Dari Alcantara, Aija Bent-Trinder, and Laura Carstens, who earned an At-Large spot thanks to her outstanding performance between the posts as a freshman. Senior Pia Soesemann wrapped up the list with a selection to the Second Team despite missing half of the season due to injury.
Earning All-SSC First Team recognition with Barbaresi, Alcantara, Bent-Trinder, Carstens, Ortiz, and Dillingham were: forward Ali Schrader (Rollins); midfielders Melissa Madrid (Barry) and Gabby Russo (Tampa); defenders Anita Cox (Rollins), and Charlotte Murrell (Rollins); and at-large selection Emma Karp (Barry).
Named to the All-SSC Second Team with Soesemann were: forwards Casey Lademann (Florida Tech) and Chelsea Pushman (Florida Tech); midfielders Paula Lillsjo (Florida Tech), Ashley Waplinger (Rollins), and Kelly Whittaker (Florida Tech); defenders Ann-Marie Helgestad (Florida Tech), Lauren Impey (Lynn), and Rachael Reid (Nova Southeastern); goalkeeper Mist Eliasdottir (Florida Tech); and at-large selection Shannon Walisch (Tampa).
Tampa goalkeeper Emelie Karstrom received honorable mention.
Voting for the All-SSC team was conducted among the league's soccer coaches and sports information directors.
The Lions return to action on Friday, November 4, when they host the 2011 Sunshine State Conference women's soccer tournament. The top-seeded Lions will square off against fourth-seed Tampa at 11 a.m., followed by second-seed Rollins and third-seed Florida Tech at 2:30 p.m. The winners of both contests will advance to the Tournament Championship, to be held at Saint Leo on Sunday, November 6.

ASUS Announces Zenbook UX301 and UX302 Haswell Ultrabooksby Jarred Walton on 9/4/2013 4:41 PM EST

rhx123 - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkShame they are taking so long to release them.
Uni starts at the end of this month and I know me and other will be much likely to part with the cash before we go.
I hope the i7-4558U is available without the WQHD display, as a cost saving measure if anything. Reply
jb14 - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkLooking forward to the i7-4558U benchmarks and battery life. As far as I am aware these haven't been published yet. Reply
piroroadkill - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkI know. It's the only compelling Haswell CPU, yet nobody's doing it. I don't care about quad core in my laptop, I want discrete class GPU on my CPU. 4558U. We want it. Reply
Connoisseur - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkI've been looking for a 13.3" ultrabook that can do some medium res gaming when I travel and this seems to fit the bill nicely. A couple of questions if you don't mind:
1) I'm assuming the 730M has more raw gaming power than the Iris 5100 since it doesn't have Crystalwell?
2) You mentioned the 730M is essentially a lower clocked 650M. From your experience are these chips typically easy to overclock and will the gain in performance be worthwhile? Reply
rhx123 - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkThe overclockability of the 730M will depend on how nice they are in the BIOS, unless people manage to produce a modified BIOS.
I could get +135MHz on my Clevo with 650M, limited by the VBIOS, now with an unlocked one I can run at +250MHz.
I doubt on the 730M here you will even be able to get it up to 650M clocks with the stock BIOS. Reply
hfm - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkConsidering that the Iris Pro 5200 runs neck and neck with a 650M .. there's probably no way the 5100 is going to touch a 730M.. probably a rung below it in the performance notch. Reply
Connoisseur - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkUgh I guess the TDP of the Pro 5200 is just too high for this form factor? Man, I just want a moderate gaming ultrabook that I can pack with my work laptop without increasing my carrying mass. Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkThe Iris Pro 5200 is currently only available in the quad-core chips, so that's one big reason it's out of contention. I also think the GT 730M won't overclock that well in a chassis like this -- overclocking simply increases the heat output, and a 13.3" Ultrabook is going to be pretty thermally constrained. Reply
Intellist - Saturday, September 07, 2013 - linkOne can simply use a tool like nvidia inspector to change the clockspeeds on the chips. You don't need to mod any BIOS. However most of these ultrabooks/thinbooks are set to lower than recommended clock speeds because of heat and power, so the headroom varies or is simply not there. You should stress test all overclocks to see what is stable. Simply setting a high clock that works in some games may not work for others and lock-up your system or burn it out by a sudden surge of heat during which the system will shut-off and the heatsink will heat up drammatically.

p1esk - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkIt's going be this Asus (with Iris) vs Samsung Book 9+ vs new MacBook Pro. Reply
ananduser - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - link1. They're mutually exclusive by design(touch based Win8 vs OSX).
2. The first two are ultrabooks while the latter is a laptop. Reply
p1esk - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - link1. Don't care about touch (touch on a laptop is stupid).
2. Running Win8 on MacBook Air right now, works fine.
3. The old MacBook Pro is only 0.5lbs heavier than Asus and Samsung, and the new one might be even lighter.
And btw, I'm not interested in how Intel's marketing department decides to label laptops. Reply
ananduser - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkNotebookcheck dot net tested win8 on a MBA(11") and found the battery life slashed to almost half the OSX count. I don't imagine any windows exclusive user making that kind of a compromise. But hey circumstantial windows use is fine as you said it is.
BTW I wasn't making a case for Intel's labels but for the CPU differences(low voltage/perf. vs regular voltage/higher perf.) - for the sake of comparing apples to apples(no pun intended). Reply
p1esk - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkMy MBA is almost 3 years old, Windows 8 lasts around 3.5-4 hours of movie watching, and around 5 hours of regular work (browsing, typing emails, linux running in a vm, etc).
That's good enough for me. Enough to watch a movie on a couch, or to work in a coffee shop for a few hours.
A new battery running Haswell would probably double those times.
As far as differences in performance between 'ultrabooks' and 'laptops', the Asus in this article will have i7-4558U. According to a leaked benchmark scores for what appears to be the next MBP 13" it will have i5-4258U, which is a pretty much identical chip with a lower clock rate.
So, again, labeling laptops this way does not make much sense. Reply
MDX - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkAmen - an "ultrabook" is just the new term for "netbook" which is a new term for "laptop". Reply
MrSpadge - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkNo, "netbook" is the term for a notoriously underpowered, ultra cheap laptop with a crappy display. And Ultrabook is the term for a laptop made so thin that its performance and price suffer (along with being light and faster than HDD storage). Reply

stacey94 - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkDamn I'd love to replace my 2012 MBA 13" with a UX301 w./ the WQHD display. I want to see some benchmarks for the HD 5100 first though. I'm hoping it's significantly faster than the HD 5000.
I'm also concerned about battery life. A 28W chip and a 2560x1440 screen will be quite difficult to support for an Ultrabook. If it can match or beat the 2012 MBA's battery life, I'm happy. Reply
Infohawk - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkHow were the keyboards on the prior models? Reply
Electromikey - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkI'm a UX32VD owner. Personally, I think the keyboard is quite decent. I can hit about 90 WPM on it without much trouble, and typing long papers/blog posts/forum responses/etc. doesn't bother me at all. Reply
MrSpadge - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkHD5100 is just clocked a little bit higher than HD5000 - even Intel doesn't want you to expect any wonders from this. And yes, a larger pixel count will hurt battery life. And will be pretty much invisibly at 13".. but hey, it's hip!
And yes again, if you actually use a 28 W CPU in an Ultrabook the fan is going to scream and CPU will most likely throttle. But battery life won't be affected much by the CPU being 28 W instead of 15 W, because it's idle most of the time anyway. And if it works it works faster, i.e. "races to idle". Reply
stacey94 - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkBut without the 15W TDP limit, the HD 5100 won't have to throttle as much or compete with the CPU for resources like the HD 5000 does. Intel's charts showed a pretty big difference between the HD 5000 and HD 5100, and I'm pretty sure that's the reason why. Reply
dylan522p - Saturday, September 07, 2013 - linkExcept that 5100 isn't OC'ed 5000, it is 5200-crystalwell. Reply

stacey94 - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkThe 28W is basically what you're looking for. It's got a dual core with a 2.8 GHz base clock, 3.3 GHz Turbo and Iris graphics.
Apple will probably put it in the 13" Retina MBP refresh as well. Reply
tuxRoller - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkI'd love to see someone put crystalwell in an ultrabook. Yeah, it would need to be throttled unless plugged in, but once plugged in, and attached to a cooling unit (whatever happened to THAT initiative, Intel?) it would be great, with no need for a discrete gpu.
Also, why gorilla glass? That thing falls on a corner and it shatters. Who cares about fingerprints or scratches? Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkDunno about the glass -- don't drop it? As for the Crystalwell in a laptop, we have one coming (not an Ultrabook though). I'm curious to see what power use is like; in theory, the TDP includes everything -- iGPU, CPU, eDRAM, etc. -- so something like the UX302 with a 15W CPU and a 25-35W GPU is already in a higher power envelope. Cost is probably the biggest factor keeping Crystalwell out of most systems. Reply
willis936 - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkLooking at everything else about this system I don't think CPU SKU cost is a huge factor for high end ultrabooks. I think the issue is that crystalwell by default is a 45W TDP configuration. It's hard to power and cool that in a 3lb 13" form factor which is where the money is. Not many people are going to spend $1500 on a 5lb laptop anymore. Reply
fokka - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkcpu-cost will always be an important factor, even in a 2000$-machine, since the high end parts are always quite expensive for the performance benefit they bring, just look at i5 4670k vs. i7 4770k. Reply
tuxRoller - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkThat's why you throttle it when not plugged in, and it would be nice if there were a separate powered heatsink that attached to the laptop to handle the extra power.
That's what I really want. A single laptop that just sips power when on the go, but can scale up when plugged in and ample cooling. Reply
n13L5 - Monday, September 30, 2013 - linkThat crystalwell is only available in a 45W part is Intel's mistake, as crystalwell itself adds very little to the TDP and so is perfectly suited to boost performance on low power SKUs. Reply
tuxRoller - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkDon't drop it? Will do!
The cost would go up, but you'd get a much more integrated, and dynamic, experience (especially for linux users).
It's really too bad no one ran with the configurable tdp options, but it's still great to hear that a laptop is coming with crystalwell. Reply
baronmog - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkThey look really nice. Too bad about the bleeding 16:9 displays, though. I'm actually seriously considering the 2013 MacBook Pro [1], when it's finally released, as the MacBooks seem to be the only things out there that offer 16:10 displays.
[1] This is a huge departure, for me, as I can't stand Apple's "our way or no way" philosophy. Needless to say, I'll be installing Linux on the beast as soon as I get it. Reply
p1esk - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkI'm curious, are there specific things that annoy you in OSX terminal, which are not a problem in Linux? Reply
baronmog - Saturday, September 07, 2013 - linkThe overall UI experience w/ OSX really grates on my nerves. The color choices, the hiding/obfuscation of configuration options that Apple deems "confusing," the always present (even when not relevant) menu bar at the top of the screen, Apple's not-invented-here issues, the list goes on. I grew up on Apple II and early Mac computers. Loved them. These days, about the only thing I like from Apple is some of their industrial design. My requirements for a GUI are that it be present when I want it, otherwise, it needs to get out of my way. Reply
Sugardaddy - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkThis is great news. I've been looking to replace my UX32VD with defective iSSD and the UX302 is coming out of the blue with better specs and looks than I dared hope.
RE: Overclockability, the 620M in the UX32VD wasn't really overclockable as you could hit the 90°C limit even at stock, with turbo disabled, in shader-intensive games (even Mass Effect 1 counts there). You could get better (more balanced) performance by reducing the clock so it always turbos! Otherwise you'd have great FPS in easy scenes and then lose the turbo just when you have lots going on.
But if they ship it with shitty DDR3, that can typically be overclocked a lot (+280MHz on my system, around 25%) which really helps boost performance. And in games like Torchlight which are light on shaders, you can boost the clock too. Reply
fokka - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkam i the only one just wanting a haswell upgrade to the old zenbook, with an optional doubling of storage and RAM? honestly, i'm not a fan of the 1440p screen, since i think it's too much for 13" in combination with windows' not quite perfect scaling. also it drives price and energy consumption up.
i don't need the 730m of the 302-model and also the glass-lids of the new gear isn't quite after my taste. just a cpu/ram/ssd upgrade to the old ones would have been perfect imho, but i guess i'll make the final judgement when i get one of those things in my hands. Reply
Impulses - Friday, September 06, 2013 - linkThe port arrangement seems nicer (micro DP & HDMI vs VGA), but yeah... Hopefully the basic 1080p model doesn't disappoint and it's not too far north of $1K, I could probably even live with 4GB (for now, blah). Reply
fokka - Friday, September 06, 2013 - linki could also live with 4gb for now (when not currently going crazy and stitching raw/hdr-panoramas that is), but who says i dont need 8gb in two years time? remember, these things aren't really made to be upgradable most of the time. Reply
n13L5 - Monday, September 30, 2013 - linka higher pixel count display does not drive up energy consumption by much on its own.
Once you're talking about driving those pixels in a computer game, its another matter, of course, as the GPU will really sweat for that.
But the benefit of a 1440p resolution is in the fact that you can combine 4 pixels into 1 and run games at a very GPU efficient 720p resolution in full screen and without scaling artifacts. Reply
kltye - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkTo those wondering about the Gorilla Glass on the outside - I have the IVB Zenbook Prime and the lid gets scratched up really easily. I have several long, unsightly scratches; I don't think the quality of the lid was particularly great to begin with. I'm looking forward to the Gorilla Glass coating just so it doesn't get scuffed up like crazy again. Reply
Impulses - Friday, September 06, 2013 - linkGorilla Glass isn't exactly scratch proof either tho, just resistant... Take some sand or any fine particle and it'll still scratch the heck up...

NWBarryG - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkThese look really nice but what I really want is the Haswell update to UX51vz. A 13.3" screen is just too small for me, and though the 15" MBP is cool, I'd really like a notebook optimized for Windows.
Save for a Haswell processor, the UX51vz is close to perfect for me. Why is it taking Asus so long to refresh their product lines? It seems like they are pretty much dead last to the party - and given they don't have a high-end 15" Haswell notebook yet, they haven't even fully arrived. Ugh. Reply
Impulses - Friday, September 06, 2013 - linkAre any of these gonna have a matte IPS display? That was quite possibly one of the best things about the previous models, and an increasingly rare trait on ultrabooks. Reply
Xichekolas - Friday, September 06, 2013 - link"upgrade them the Haswell" is the new "set us up the bomb" Reply
Laststop311 - Saturday, September 07, 2013 - linkI'm really disappointed. I really wanted the 2560x1440 display matched up with the gt 730m and the full size 2.5" drive. I got the ux32vd because of the discrete gpu the ability to add my own ram stick and my own 2.5" drive and it still had the 1080p ips screen. Now Asus is forcing me to choose between the sexy 2560x1440 screen and sacrificing the discrete gpu and sacrificing the 2.5" hard drive slot and living with their proprietary 512GB maximum generic ssd's or I can have the discrete gpu and a full 2.5" drive space to put in a quality 1TB samsung Evo SSD but then I must sacrifice the 2560x1440 display.
I could of lived with losing the discrete gpu and the 2.5" drive space if only the intel chip was the gt3e iris pro 5200 with 128MB crystalwell embedded memory. I'll have to see the benchmarks of the 302 and see how much faster it is than the ux32vd. I upgraded my ram to 10GB 1600Mhz 1.35v (first 4GB runs in dual channel mode the remaining 6GB in single channel mode) 1 2GB stick is soldered on so that was the best I could do. I upgraded the 2.5" drive to a crucial 512GB m4 and on the soldered on 24GB cache SSD I repurposed it to a dedicated recovery drive.
If the 1440p display was on the ux302 it would be an easy no brainer upgrade. If the gt3e was on the ux301 it would be a no brainer upgrade. As it stands the gt3 graphics part would be too much a downgrade for the light gaming i like to do on my ux32vd. The screen is the same on the ux302 so no point in upgrading for that reason so i need to see a decent jump on gpu performance cpu performance and battery life to justify the money spent.
Hopefully broadwell 14nm shrink will bring killer integrated graphics with 128 or even 256MB to the dual core ultrabook cpu's.
As beautiful as these laptops are I think I will just get a 1TB samsung 840 Evo SSD Throw my crucial m4 in my desktop and wait and hope that broadwell is amazing. Reply
dylan522p - Saturday, September 07, 2013 - linkYou do know that GT3/5100 is stronger than a 620m so it would not be a downgrade Reply

trivor - Monday, September 09, 2013 - linkI picked up a Sandy Bridge Core i5 UX31A (2467M clocked at 1.6Ghz) with 128 GB SSD, , Win 7 Pro, 1600x900 display weighing at only 2.85 lbs.

I just left Seattle the morning of May 9 2014. While at the SEATAC airport, I spotted this advertisement. This is what I thought when I first saw the photo:
Once again, buying objects as a way towards social Justice, within a capitalist moral economy, seems contradictory. As if all you need to do is 'buy' your way into a cleaner conscious, through the site of Starbucks; an entity that sources ingredients from largely global South regions through methods that are mostly not fair trade.
So, Starbucks, tell me this: how does one extrapolate resources from certain regions of the world in an unethical manner, and then put up campaigns above that ensure patrons that whenever they buy this Oprah approved product, it goes towards creating better educational access for vulnerable populations? Am I missing something here?
Only 10 percent of the coffee Starbucks sells is Fair Trade Certified. As the largest buyer of coffee beans in the world, it seems like they should probably be trying a lot harder. After all, I am pretty sure that the people working under unequal conditions to harvest coffee beans for Starbucks most likely do not have educational opportunities that allow their communities to thrive, as well as not be so dependent on "green" capitalism.
Just my two cents.

This Forum has been archivedVisit the new Forums
|Forums: Index → Narutopedia Announcements → New Episodenav template
There's a new special template in place. It's designed to work on multiple wiki in the project but it's a little tricky to explain how everything is done.
But here's what you need to know:
- The template is Episodenav
- The default tech page (One which in parserfunctions syntax holds a list of all the names and info of episodes) is found normally with
{{BASEPAGENAME}}/Tech/Info/Episodesbecause on the Animepedia each series has a /Tech subarea where /Info holds info and the final subpage /Episodes is that techpage which holds the episodes info. This all works because the Animepedia uses a subpage structure. We don't; So because of that we need to override that. the tech value notifies what page holds that info, for us that is Tech/Info/Episodes.
- By default, a base is used on the Animepedia because all the episodes are subpages of the anime's page, but here all episodes are placed in their own page with no parents. So we need to set base to empty so that there is no base before the links.
In the end, after all that explanation, all you really need to know is this is the code you place at the bottom of an episode article (A line Below the content, and a line above the Categories)
Please note that if you remove the : from tech it will break and try and use a template. And if you remove base= then it'll start using a basepage.
And of course # is the episode number of the current episode. Don't bother doing this for the Shippuden episodes right now. I'm probably going to tweak things to use 2 different pages for the different series. And don't put any 0's in front of that number. ~Dantman(talk) current discussion Apr 14, 2007 @ 23:37 (UTC)

Harang steadies after first, but Mariners fall to Pirates
Ibanez's pinch-hit RBI double accounts for lone Seattle run
PITTSBURGH -- The Mariners could not solve Pirates spot starter Jeanmar Gomez and suffered a 4-1 loss at PNC Park on Tuesday night.
It was Seattle's first trip to the Steel City since 2004. The loss was the second straight for the Mariners, who have won seven of their last 11.
Aaron Harang, after a shaky start, settled down and tossed six strong innings. The right-hander gave up two runs on five hits and dropped to 1-4 on the season.
"[Harang] was really good," Mariners manager Eric Wedge said. "I even talked to him after taking him out, those last three innings in particular, that's probably about as good as we've seen him. That was good to see, I wanted him to finish on a good note. He was in the upper 90s through six innings, so he is starting to put it together a little bit."
Gomez got the start in place of James McDonald, who was placed on the disabled list two hours prior to first pitch. The right-hander responded with five scoreless frames, giving up only two hits and recording five strikeouts. Gomez notched the win, upping his record to 2-0.
"We didn't have much on Gomez," Wedge said. "A last minute switch, be that as it may, everybody scrambled to do the best job they could, but the kid pitched a good ballgame. He did a good job with the sinker and did a good job with the slider and kept sweeping it off the plate."
"It wasn't anything crazy," Dustin Ackley said of Gomez. "He located things well. It doesn't matter what kind of stuff you have if you locate the ball and move it in and out and up and down. You are going to have success and he did that tonight. I thought it was a pretty good performance especially with a guy that probably didn't know he was starting until a couple of hours before the game. That's a big time thing for those guys."
Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen gave a tip of the cap to Gomez.
"You hate for J-Mac to have to go on the DL, but to have Gomez step up … he's done it before," McCutchen said. "When you don't have any expectations of starting, and next thing you know you're in there, that can be tough. But he took it and went out and did an amazing job."
The Pirates jumped on Harang in the first. Starling Marte beat out an infield single and scored on a double by Travis Snider, and then Andrew McCutchen stroked a double to drive in Snider and give the Pirates a 2-0 lead.
"There were two pitches that just stayed middle," Harang said. "It was a slider to McCutchen that was middle of the plate, and then with two strikes I was trying to throw a front hipper to Snider and started it out and it didn't really move. It just stayed kind of middle to middle in, and it was up a little bit. But after that, I was able to execute some pitches. I was starting to split my hands a little sooner and felt like I was able to get a good direction and I found a good rhythm with my timing."
The Mariners sliced the Pirates' lead to 2-1 in the seventh. With one out, Ackley singled off Tony Watson, and then right-hander Jose Contreras replaced Watson. Pinch-hitter Raul Ibanez doubled to knock in Ackley.
Garrett Jones sealed the deal in the eighth. With two outs and McCutchen on first, Jones smacked a two-run homer off Carter Capps, giving the Pirates a 4-1 lead.
"He hit a fastball," Capps said. "I looked at it and Kelly Shoppach said it was a little in, it looked more middle to me and it was over the plate."
"That's tough that late," Wedge said. "You're working hard to try and keep it a one-run game. If you keep it a one-run game, you've got a chance, anything can happen in the ninth inning. But their guy put up a good at-bat and fought through it and got a good pitch to hit and took care of."
Pirates manager Clint Hurdle was pumped up about Jones' fourth home run of the season.
"Big breath of fresh air," Hurdle said. "We were well aware of what we weren't able to accomplish. We let another opportunity get away from us in the first inning. So after Jones got to 0-and-2, to put that swing on that ball, was very welcome."
The Pirates' bullpen closed it out with right-hander Mark Melancon pitching a scoreless eighth and closer Jason Grilli picking up save No. 13 with a perfect ninth.

Restaurant Revisited: Muskrat Mayhem at Wagon Wheel Family Restaurantby Maria Russo in Shows, May 19th, 2013
In Smyrna, Del., the Wagon Wheel Family Restaurant is indeed a family-run business, owned and operated by three generations of women: grandmother, daughter and granddaughter (Patty Gallegos, Sheila Furman and Jessica Furman, respectively). Their restaurant is known for its classic preparation of a local delicacy — muskrat — but beyond that, it has struggled to succeed, serving primarily frozen food in an old-fashioned space. If their business was to have any hope of thriving in the future, Patty, Sheila and Jessica would need Robert Irvine's support to revamp the menu with crowd-pleasing dishes that go beyond muskrat and to enliven the interior with a fresh, welcoming design. In just two days and with a $10,000 budget, Robert and his Restaurant: Impossible team helped this family learn to work together and ultimately reopened Wagon Wheel as a made-over eatery that they could be proud of. We checked in with Jessica a few months after the transformation to find out how the business is doing today.
Her mother, Sheila, is no longer working at Wagon Wheel, so Jessica will be relieving Patty and running the restaurant immediately after her graduation later this month. "I am excited to get back to work, to do what I wanted to since the beginning: make the Wagon Wheel profitable," she tells FN Dish. "I want to become more involved in the community and create a place that people can go with their families to have a nice dinner with a great vibe."
She plans to institute a system of guidelines at the Wagon Wheel, which she hopes will in turn create a more positive work atmosphere for the employees and pleasant dining experience for customers. "I feel that setting standards is an important part of returning the restaurant to profitability," she explains. "Everyone is doing what they can and also what they want, because no one is in charge to reward good behavior or reflect on negative issues." Increased communication between all workers at the restaurant — managers, front of the house and back of the house included — will also help to equalize expectations. "With open communication from not only owners and managers but with the entire staff, no one is left in the dark to wonder what is going on," she adds.
Since reopening, the updated decor at the Wagon Wheel has been well-received by customers and staff alike. "My favorite part of the new design is the hostess stand and the divider wall," Jessica admits. "It makes the restaurant look more professional and is a great thing to see when you first walk in the door."
In terms of the menu, they've kept muskrat on the list of offerings. According to Jessica, "It is what we are known for and it is only seasonal."
Looking ahead, Jessica tells Dish that she's confident Restaurant: Impossible has given her and the business the foundation they need to succeed. "I feel that the show has really helped to set a basis of what I want to go back there to achieve."

OK so I asked HostGator customer support why my subdomains take time to show up after creating them in cPanel. (I go into cPanel and create a new subdomain but it won't show up for me when I load the page in the browser).They informed me that it takes 4-8 hours for subdomain creation within cPanel / WHM. It doesn't matter if I go with Shared Host, VPS, or a private host - they will always take that amount of time to propagate. Is this only a case with HostGator? I was under the impression that new subdomains should be up and running instantaneously?
Doing a little search on [Yahoo, it can take hours for a new subdomain to propagate. That said, there are things that may make it appear that it is taking longer for propagation to occur. For example, maybe your ISP is caching DNS data and when you try to look it up initially it finds nothing. Your computer might cache it, too, so you might want to try [URL="http://search.yahoo.com/search;ylt=A0oG7l5TtKRQCnsAyrlXNyoA;ylc=X1MDMjc2NjY3OQRfcgMyBGFvA2FvBGNzcmNwdmlkAzcxTnQ5VW9HN3Y0NEczNG9VS1N6TGd3dXouQlA1MUNrc3pRQUNxdDQEZnIDeWZwLXQtNzAxBGZyMgNzYnRuBG5fZ3BzAzEwBG9yaWdpbgNzcnAEcHFzdHIDZmx1c2ggRE5TBHF1ZXJ5A2ZsdXNoIEROUwRzYW8DMgR2dGVzdGlkA1ZJUDE3MA--?p=flush%20DNS&fr2=sb-top&fr=yfp-t-701&pqstr=flush%20DNS"]flushing your DNS](http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A2KLtQ8us6RQawcAZCSbvZx4?p=new+subdomain+propagation&toggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8&fr=yfp-t-701).
In reality, I have not found any problems with long DNS propagation times for many years. In fact, just the other week I registered a new domain name and could access its parking page within a couple minutes of registering it. I keep my DNS with my domain name registrar, not with my web host. When I have created subdomains, I make the entry in cPanel to set up the subdomain, then go to my registrar's DNS and make the necessary changes. I can usually access the subdomain right away.
Next time you set up a new subdomain, try accessing it through a proxy like hidemyass.com if you can't reach it through your own browser. Then you can see how long propagation is really taking.
HostGator fed you a line ... but cd is correct in that it could take up to 72 hours for a (sub?)domain to propagate.
Okay, I've NEVER had any problem accessing a new subdomain immediately but that may just be the host/ISP combination I have.
If the DNS that your domain name lookups go through is slow then you can update your connection to the internet to use one that updates faster. I use openDNS which means that on the rare occasion where I have changed ISP I have not had to change the IP addresses for the DNS from those used by the old ISP to those provided by the new ISP. Generally the only change required when I change ISP is the password to log in to my account with the new ISP and the outgoing mail server.
The subdomain is usually created immediately but in some cases it might take upto 48 hours to propagate throughout the internet.
This is true, but it actually can take as long as 72 hours (as DK mentioned above). I have on rare occasion had it take this long for DNS hosts that are normally really fast at propagating DNS.

Microsoft Looking to Pay Gov. for Extra H-1B Visas, Claims Not Enough Skilled Americans

Microsoft wants 20,000 extra green cards per year too
Microsoft is willing to
pay the U.S. government for additional H-1B worker visas
, saying there aren't enough skilled Americans to fill its available job openings.
More specifically, it suggested that the government raise $500 million a year by tacking on an extra $10,000 fee for each newly created H-1B visa or $15,000 for each new green card. This money can then be used to offer better education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) for Americans. Microsoft noted that not enough Americans are skilled in these areas to keep up with demand.
In addition to raising the number of visas offered, Microsoft wants the government to give 20,000 extra green cards per year.
H-1B visas allow foreign workers to come to the U.S. temporarily to work in their field. They can renew their visas every three years. Green cards, on the other hand, allow foreign workers to live in the country permanently. Currently, the government offers 65,000 visas a year, but in the past has seen numbers as high as 195,000.
Microsoft is one of the largest sponsors
when it comes to H-1B visas
. Ten percent of its 57,400 U.S. workforce are H-1B visa holders. From 2010 to 2011, it applied for about 850 visas annually for new employees on their very first H-1B visa. In 2011, Microsoft sponsored over 4,700 H-1B workers for green cards.
Many worry, however, that Microsoft is just looking for cheap labor. An issue is that Microsoft and other corporations don't need to prove that there aren't skilled Americans to fill these jobs. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) even warned that there are "inadequate safeguards" that protect skilled Americans from being booted out of jobs for cheaper foreign workers.
"The biggest myth people have is that a company like Microsoft somehow looks to foreign workers as an easy supply to displace American workers," said Karen Jones, Microsoft's deputy general counsel for human resources. "We simply cannot find qualified Americans to fill these jobs."
An analysis of Microsoft's green card applications shows that 25 percent were entry-level workers and 61 percent were a step up as software engineers or marketing managers. Most hold technical jobs, but most also make fewer than six figures while many graduates usually demand over $100,000 annual salaries.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The other day -- probably because of the recent Apple ( AAPL) hysteria and Facebook's ( FB) 'big' announcement -- some important Netflix ( NFLX) news flew under the radar.The always-excellent Peter "Don't call me Franz" Kafka over at All Things D reported that Netflix signed a deal to stream some Time Warner ( TWX) content, particularly stuff from the Turner division's Cartoon Network, Adult Swim and TNT's "Dallas." In his coverage of NFLX/TWX, Kafka appears amused by the way Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes treats Netflix CEO Reed Hastings like his (what do they call it on the streets?):
Bewkes has made it quite clear that he's happy to use Netflix as a syndication outlet for stuff he's already gotten maximum value from. If Reed Hastings thinks he can make money with Bewkes's leftovers, he is happy to sell them.Kafka outlines the drill well. Focus your eyes on my second most recent take. Here's where we're headed with Netflix, particularly if the company reports a not-so-bad to strongish quarter next Wednesday. Even though it pulled back Wednesday, it will likely regain the $100 level. From there -- even with an earnings hit -- we're headed deeper into the triple digits. Like retouch the stock's all-time high triple digits. That was $304-and-some-change at the height of 2011's absurdity. According to its Q3 Letter to Shareholders, Netflix expects Q4 global net income to come in between ($13M) and $2M. That's a wide range. And, unless Netflix turns a profit and surprises, expect Reed Hastings to fire up the smoke and mirrors. He'll find something to divert attention from his company's longstanding structural problems -- an unaffordable content acquisition and international expansion strategy. Hastings will focus on subscriber growth -- if it's good or he can spin it =- and/or the number of hours Netflix customers streamed content. If it wasn't for their competition in the streaming space, Hastings would probably compare Netflix to Amazon.com ( AMZN): We're spending now to seize this massive opportunity upon and ahead of us. Of course, he will not discuss the point Kafka and others bring up: Netflix does not operate from a position of strength. Not even close. Amazon's opportunity lies in e-commerce. It's the clear and relatively comfortable leader there. It dictates the pace of the space. While Netflix leads online streaming, it has a shaky hold on the title. It operates at the mercy of people like Jeff Bewkes. Netflix will get fleeced by Bewkes much more frequently than it will land sweet first-run major motion picture agreements with giants such as Disney ( DIS).

HOUSTON - Thousands of Texans have gotten a voicemail from Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX) blaming President Barack Obama for cuts in federal funding providing health care for Texas women.
Democrats contend it's an attempt to shift blame in what they term the "Republican war on women."
In the recorded message, Perry said Obama is waging war on Texas values.
"This time they want to end the health program for 100,000 Texas women just because we have not funded abortion providers or their affiliates with your taxpayer money," Perry said.
The governor is speaking about the Women's Health Program. It provides cancer, diabetes and contraceptive screening for about 130,000 uninsured Texas women.
The federal government cut $35 million in funding that supports the Women's Health Program this week because the state insists its clinics are affiliated with abortion providers like Planned Parenthood, even though those clinics don't provide abortions.
"He's hurting women and trying to blame someone else for his own actions, and that is the most duplicitous thing that anyone can do," state Rep. Garnett Coleman (D-Houston) said.
The program will be phased out over the next three months.
Clinics affiliated with Planned Parenthood can continue to see women enrolled in the program until the end of April.

With apple season in full swing, and cooler weather on the way, here's a casserole pie that combines sweet Italian sausage with Granny Smith apples, and a mix of cheeses. Our neighbor Pat (the wonderful neighbor who has been teaching me all about organic gardening) brought over this delicious casserole for a block party recently. What a hit!
Apple and Sausage Pie RecipePrint
- 1 basic pie dough recipe, rolled out and lining a 9 or 10-inch pie dish, or 8x8 baking dish, chilled (or one frozen pie crust)
- 2 large tart Granny Smith apples, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1/2 medium onion, chopped (about half a cup)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 3 Tbsp butter
- 3/4 lb sweet Italian sausage (bulk, or removed from casings)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 cups shredded fontina, provalone, and or asiago cheese
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup feta cheese
- 2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 Preheat oven to 425°F. Line the inside of a pie shell with heavy aluminum foil, pressing the dough against the side. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove foil, poke the bottom of the pie crust with the tines of a fork to create air vents. Return crust to oven, bake for an additional 4 minutes, or until the crust just begins to brown. Remove from oven and let cool. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
2 Melt butter in a large skillet on medium heat. Add the apples, onions, and sugar, cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. In the last 30 seconds or so, add the garlic and cook until fragrant. Transfer mixture to a separate bowl. Increase the heat to medium high and in the same skillet add the Italian sausage. Cook, stirring only infrequently, until sausage is browned on all sides and is cooked through. Remove from heat. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon to a dish lined with paper towels to absorb the excess fat.
3 In medium sized bowl, mix together the cheeses and beaten eggs.
4 Place sausage on bottom of pre-baked pie crust. Add the cooked apple onion mixture over the sausage. Pour the cheese egg mixture over the apple mixture and spread it so it evenly covers the pie.
5 Bake at 350°F for 35 to 40 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

HOLI, the Hindu festival of colour, was celebrated at an art school.
Students from the Malvern School of Art created traditional rangoli patterns with coloured powders, throwing them in the air and over each other to create multi-coloured clouds.
The celebrations were part of the research into colour which the Access to Art students are exploring in their current project work.
Caroline Park, head of art, said: "Students found it exhilarating, and have masses of material for their project.
"The photographs will be really useful and even the patterns created on the clothes and grass may prove to be inspirational."
The Malvern School of Art is part of South Worcestershire College.
The Holi festival is an ancient Spring festival which takes place in late February or early March.

Cisco Adaptive Wireless Intrusion Prevention System solution
March 29, 2013
The Cisco Adaptive Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (wIPS) adds the Enhanced Local Mode (ELM) feature. This allows administrators to use their deployed access points (APs) to provide comprehensive protection, without a separate overlay network.
Before ELM, in the adaptive wIPS deployment, dedicated monitor mode (MM) APs were required to provide PCI compliance needs or protection from unauthorized security access, penetration, and attacks. ELM effectively provides a comparable offering that eases wireless security implementation, while lowering capital expenses (CapEx) and operating expenses (OpEx).

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Who knew walking through your own lawn could be so treacherous, but for Arlene Pinaud the problems feral cats are causing her neighborhood go way beyond that.
"My granddaughter last year was playing in the back and was covered in feces on her feet and legs, and we had to say, 'That's it. No more playing,'" Pinaud said.
Pinaud lives in Ortega. Across the street lives Barbara Railey. And neighbors say dozens of feral cats live there, too.
"Oh, there has to be 40, maybe 50 cats around on days," neighbor Beth Moran said.
That cat colony has spurred a neighborhood feud involving Animal Control, a city councilman and the woman who admits to regularly feeding them.
Railey said she "just wants to help the poor animals." But in the meantime, folks like Pinaud say her cats and her messy yard are ruining the neighborhood.
"You live here because it is so beautiful, and then I can't have most of the outside to myself anymore," Pinaud said.
The city went to clean up the property in November. But Animal Control says it can't do anything about the cats because Railey has been unresponsive.
In the meantime, Pinaud says she'll continue to fight not only the neighbor, but the four-legged residents of their street as well.
"The cats are our greatest headache," she said. "Trouble -- have been for years."

Blog by Joshua Darfler, photography by Sara Helm Wallace and Lindsey Kerr
Several months ago I was talking to my mom on the phone and mentioned the documentary "A Man Named Pearl".
For those who are not familiar with it, you should go watch it right now! It is a fantastic documentary produced in 2005 about Pearl Fryar – founder, creator, and artist behind the Pearl Fryar Topiary Garden. This independent film explores the history and motivation of Pearl, the dire (but optimistic) economic conditions of Bishopville, SC – where the garden is located – and the truly moving message behind the garden. It is an award-winning film that can be enjoyed by all, even those who are not obsessed with Public Horticulture as we are here.
I tried to explain all of this to my mom, and eventually got her to hesitantly agree to watch it. After a few more prods, I got a text saying she had rented the DVD and her and my dad would watch it that night. I got another text and a phone call later that evening from both of them saying how the good the movie was, how motivational Pearl was, and how they now really wanted to show it at the local library as part of their movie series.
There then ensued many more emails, texts, and phone calls, and a program started to come together surrounding the showing of this movie at the Lansing Community Library in Lansing, NY (my hometown). The highlight of the program though, was to be a special speaker – the Pearl Fryar Topiary Garden's Communications Director, Lindsey Kerr. Yes that Lindsey Kerr, the Lindsey Kerr who is currently a second year fellow in the Longwood Graduate Program. Not only is she busy writing a thesis to help preserve historic cultivars of plants, serving on the University of Delaware's Graduate Student Senate, Leader of the Speakers Team for the 2014 LGP Symposium, and volunteering at various gardens around the area, but she has also been continuing her job at the Pearl Fryar Topiary Garden.
So on Friday, February 21, Lindsey and her cheering squad (five other members of the LGP, including myself) all piled into a car and took a fun trip up to Lansing, NY (a few miles north of Ithaca, NY)! We arrived Friday evening and were able to meet up with some Fellows from the Cornell University Professional Garden Leadership Program, as well as other former Longwood interns who are now up at Cornell University continuing their studies, for dinner in downtown Ithaca.
The next morning we went to the Lansing Town Hall (the audience was too big to fit in the library) to help set up for the event. The afternoon started at 11:00 with a showing of the documentary, and was then followed by Lindsey's presentation and a Q&A session. Lindsey did an incredible job providing more insight into what it is like to work with Pearl Fryar as well as in Bishopville, SC. Since it's been almost eight years since the filming of the documentary, Lindsey also talked about how the garden has changed over the years, and what is being done to help ensure the continued existence of Pearl's topiary art in the future.
Once the audience left, the chairs were stacked, and all the A/V equipment put away, we had the rest of the afternoon to explore Ithaca. We headed down to the commons, a pedestrian mall located in the heart of Ithaca, where we enjoyed both the outdoors, with its almost spring-like weather, and the numerous indoor shops the commons has to offer. The day ended with a fantastic dinner at Moosewood Restaurant, a famous vegetarian restaurant.
The next morning we packed up our gear, got back in the van and headed back down to Newark, DE. It was a great weekend, and wonderful weather…which seems to have quickly disappeared this week….

The Crap We Missed – Tuesday 6.5.12
[Not Pictured: The pink mushroom cloud of Trapper Keepers and bubble gum where Madrid once stood.]
Welcome to Tuesday's The Crap We Missed where Tan Mom, Patricia Krentcil, knows that the best way to get the press of your back is to brandish a blackface toy at them (No, really.), Adam Sandler makes the red carpet slightly less uncomfortable than Susan Sarandon does, and please, vote for Danny Trejo's friend or he will fucking cut you. You seriously didn't think the Queen's Diamond Jubilee would pass by without a single shot of Prince Charles in here did you?
And here I though we knew each other so well,

I wish I had a Mac so I could just pay for the darn developer license and get this thing now. I'm sick of bringing a charger with me everywhere.
Anyone experiencing lag when opening the camera roll after taking a picture or modifying a picture using an app? Hangs for several seconds. Hopefully it's a bug and the fix is in there.
Main concern is the battery usage, to be honest. Most people cal live with the tiny bugs inside, but if they have to charge their iPhone 3 to 4 times a day just because the battery keeps getting drained, that would tick people off more rather than small bugs. I'm looking forward to this release! Really hope it all works out good.
Can someone please help??I very stupidly upgraded my iphone 4s to IOS 5.0.1 but my phone isn't registered on a developer account - the phone is saying that it's unable to activate due to this fact.I'm now trying to restore to IOS 5 through itunes but it's not allowing me to do so as it just throws up a message to say that the phone isn't on a developer accountHow can I restore my phone back to IOS 5??Thanks in advance
Well it looks as if i.Annie was right again. She presumed that the untethered JB for iOS 5 would be some time after an update, which made sense but anybody that has had her help or guidance with iDevice issues knows that she's incredibly helpful and in my opinion is a wonderful asset to the modmyi team. A lot of iDevice saavy people are very rude and think that they're way to cool to help others that are not as knowledgable as they are. We have all been there and started somewhere, but it's people like i.Annie that really do help and teach people the things they want to learn. So I know I've said it before but THANK YOU for all your help i.Annie. This post may be a bit off topic but oh we'll.
I have noticed my battery life is also been draining rather quickly on the I4 since the os 5 update. Anyone else notice this?
