Dutch Socialist Party wins election by a landslide
Fake News that's honestly fake
Friday, October 19, 2018, 16:00:59 (UTC)
• Newsroom • Audio (staff) • Foolitzer Prize
• Indexes • Random story
27 November 2006
Paradiso, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. In an official press conference by the Department of Elections, the final result of Holland's latest elections was presented to the international press. On Wednesday, November 22nd, 2006, the Dutch
voter citizen comrade sent the right-wing Neoliberal government of Prime Minister Balkenende packing. Hurray! Down with capitalism! Nearly trippling in size, from nine members of parliament in 2003 to twenty-five (on a total of 150 seats) in this election, The Dutch Communist Socialist Party is considered by friend and foe to be the greatest winner in this election.
In an untypically candid reaction to the local press, the now-deformational Prime Minister Balkenende spoke of his fears that this ballot result "marks the beginning of the end for this fine country of mine". He went on to point out that the
damned commies Socialist Party would build more abortion clinics, increase taxes for the higher incomes filthy rich, build less more! you moron social housing projects, legalize hard drugs no soft drugs only shees don't you read anything! who are you calling a moron ? You Me, you moron! Hey knock it off, I' just doing my work here ok ? Ok, but I still think you're prejudiced What ?! Just because I voted for the Socialist Party I'm prejudiced ? What ?! You too I thought you was one of them despicable capitalist neo-liberal thingies ! Strewth! And I thought you was one of them neo-liberal fascist thingies! Crikey! Well...Just don't interrupt me anymore, will ya ? Roger! Wilco *Guffaw* I definitely wouldn't roger Wilco, you tad! and last but not least, "allow the dykes to fall into a state of disrepair, thus rendering our fine country defenceless in front of the floodgates of the Islam!" .
In a reaction to these accusations, mr Jan Marijnissen, long-time leader of the Dutch Socialist Party, assured everyone that little was going to change if and when the Socialist Party was to partake in a coalition government. "We will enhance our dykes, and increase their height, wisdom and beauty. We will definitely decrease their holeyness!", said mr Marijnissen <note to editor: put the happenings we recorded december 27th on the background here, audio only, and keep it low key goddammit>. "We will build more prisons", he continued his victory speech, "to hold all those filthy rich frauding conniving CEO's that we are now going to sentence in big, televised, show-cased trials!" <note to editor: insert public mob roaring here> "We will increase the taxes for those filthy rich conniving bastards so that they will pay for their own detention!" <note to editor: insert more mob roaring here>. The crowd went on and practically soiled themselves when mr Marijnissen spoke of his plans of public transportation (free for everyone except the filthy rich), legilazation of cannabis (price should be dictated by income, not by market value <insert roar here please>) and abortion clinics (free for males, subject to an income-determined regime for non-males, but the filthy rich would have to fill in a tonne of paperwork <yes, mob roar here as well. Sigh>).
In conclusion, Holland is a nation very much unsure where the future will lead. Not unlike many other
sovereign heh! you mean Soviet buzz off states who struggle to survive while the world expands around them and forces their government and their citizens to come to terms with an ever-increasing complexity of being.

Cristiano Ronaldo has insisted that Real Madrid still have everything to play for this season as they can still win the Copa del Rey and the Champions League.
The Santiago Bernabeu side have fallen 16 points behind arch-rivals Barcelona in the Liga table, but Ronaldo has stressed they can still win silverware in 2012-13.
"We have a lot to win this year. We are still in the Copa and the Champions League. We are doing better," the Portugal star stated to the official Madrid website.
"I want to play, that's what I like to do, and to help the team so we can achieve our aims in the Copa del Rey, the Champions League and to do the best that we can in the league."
The prolific attacker then went on stress that the fans' support is crucial for the team if they are to be successful.
"I appeal to the fans to encourage the team and together we can win something, because we feel everything on the field and it can affect us. We need help, not to be criticised and to all be together.
"I have to thank the fans, they are with the team. I am very happy about that. When people support me I feel better, more motivated and happy and also play better."
Madrid resume Primera Division action on Saturday away against Osasuna.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Female Guard Sexually Harassed then Discharged for Complaining, Federal Agency Says
CHARLOTTE , N.C. – Securitas Security Services, USA, Inc., ("Securitas"), a uniformed security and patrol services violated federal law by subjecting a female employee to a sexually hostile work environment and then discharging her after she complained, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC") charged in a lawsuit filed today. Securitas employs over 260,000 people in 40 countries.
According to the EEOC's lawsuit, Sheilandra Walker, who worked as a security guard at a Securitas client facility, was subjected to sexual harassment from February 28, 2008 until March 26, 2008 by two male guards; one of whom was her supervisor. The suit alleges that the two subjected Walker to unwelcome sexual comments, gestures and sexual touching. One of the guards (the Site Supervisor), told Walker that he had been alone for many years and loved to have sex, but needed a girlfriend. He asked Walker to help him find a girlfriend with large breasts. The Site Supervisor also talked about the size of Walker's breasts; asked the size of Walker's bra; and told her that he had not had sex since his wife died. These comments and others were made on a daily basis by the Site Supervisor.
The second guard was more explicit in his sexual harassment, the EEOC alleged. This security guard engaged in conduct such as licking his lips and grabbing his crotch while staring at Walker's breasts; he would physically touch Walker by blocking the door of the guard shack when she tried to leave so that she had to brush up against him; on one occasion, he locked Walker in the guard shed while saying "mmm, mmm, mmm." The suit further alleges that this Security Guard sent a highly obscene picture to Walker on her cell phone after retrieving her phone number from the job site. One day after Walker complained to the Branch Manager about the sexual harassment, she was discharged.
Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination that violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Title VII also prohibits employers from retaliating against employees who complain about discrimination in the workplace. The EEOC filed suit in U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, Charlotte Division ( Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. Securitas Security Services, USA, Inc. , Civil Action No. 3:10-cv-487) after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement with Securitas. The agency seeks back pay for Walker as well as compensatory and punitive damages and injunctive relief.
"Employers must take prompt action in response to a sexual harassment complaint," said Lynette A. Barnes, regional attorney of the EEOC's Charlotte District Office. "Companies should have in place a policy that prohibits sexual harassment, as well as a procedure for victims and witnesses to report it, and for the employer to promptly respond and rectify it. The policy should be widely distributed so that employees are aware of these procedures and can report harassment without fear of reprisal. Discrimination in any form will not be tolerated by the EECC."
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws against employment discrimination. Further information is available at www.eeoc.gov.

For a complete list of Oracle BAM upgrade issues, see the following sections:
Section 3.1.1, "Patches Required to Address Specific Upgrade and Compatibility Requirements", which includes information on an Oracle Database patch that is required before you perform an Oracle BAM schema upgrade.
Section 3.1.3, "Oracle BAM Upgrade Issues", which consolidates various known issues and workarounds when upgrading Oracle BAM to 11g.
Note that this upgrade is optional. It is not a required step for customers migrating from Oracle BAM 11gR1 PS1 to PS2.
Customers not upgrading from PS1 are not affected.
The existing
/AS11gR1SOA/bam/samples/bam/monitorexpress/README.txt file provides instructions on how to reinstall the Monitor Express samples.
Only customers in Oracle BAM 11gR1 PS1 that have manually ran the scripts as described in
/AS11gR1SOA/bam/samples/bam/monitorexpress/README.txt (samples are not installed by default during Oracle BAM installation) might want to upgrade those to fix minor user interface issues.
Oracle BAM applications are not functional if the database on which Oracle BAM depends is started few minutes later than Oracle BAM Server.
An Oracle BAM sensor action cannot be notified of BPEL events, and the messages sent to Oracle BAM from the BPEL server are only stored in memory; therefore, when the BPEL server restarts, all the messages still on the BPEL side are lost.
This behavior is by design, and there is no workaround.
Oracle BAM presents the following limitations because in this release Oracle BAM Web applications and Oracle BAM Server are only deployed in a single EAR, but are represented in Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control using two separate targets:
Along with two custom targets, Oracle BAM Server and Oracle BAM Web applications, The Oracle BAM application also appears as a generic J2EE application in the Application Deployments list in Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control navigation tree, and in the Farm home page. It is recommended that the user only use custom Oracle BAM targets (
OracleBAMServer and
OracleBAMWeb), the internal application target (
oracle-bam) should not be used.
Additional information about the generic
oracle-bam J2EE application target: The generic J2EE application target (oracle-bam) despite being an internal application, still appears under parent Application Deployments and not in the sub-folder Internal Applications of Application Deployments. Moving oracle-bam generic J2EE application target to Internal Applications folder has been deferred.
The Stop and Start commands in the Oracle BAM Server and Oracle BAM Web applications menus in Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control pages does not stop or start the corresponding target only, it stops the entire Oracle BAM application (Oracle BAM Server and Oracle BAM Web applications).
Viewing any J2EE metrics in the context of Oracle BAM Server or Oracle BAM Web applications actually presents the view for entire J2EE application. (From performance page and Oracle WebLogic Server page the user gets access to the J2EE application metric).
Oracle WebLogic Server (Managed Server) home page shows three deployed applications for each Oracle BAM install (two custom targets and one generic J2EE application target). Corresponding to each target there are few J2EE application metrics shown. Because J2EE metrics correspond to each deployment, the metrics values get repeated for all of the Oracle BAM targets. The workaround is displaying metric values only against one target and the other two showing n/a.
The MBean browser in Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control does not have any validation in place to check whether the entered value is correct or not.
When you see the
Unable to extend tablespace error message, you can do the following:
Increase the tablespace size.
If you cleared a large amount of data from a data object, and expect the tablespace to have more data, you might still see this error. The table space release is not synchronous, and you must run command
A user assigned to a non-Administrator role may be unable to create or view reports, but has the privileges to do so, and gets the following error:
Exception Message BAM-01257: Insufficient permission to perform the requested action.
This is due to the user not having at least Read permissions on the /System folder in Oracle BAM Architect.
The same user opening a report on two different computers with different language settings causes a language mix in the Oracle BAM user interface.
A single user should not log in simultaneously on different computers with two different language settings.
As part of an Oracle BAM alert action, Oracle BAM Event Engine can call external Web services. However, for secure Web services, Oracle BAM Event Engine supports calling only HTTP Basic authentication protected Web services. Configuring an alert action to call WS-Security enabled Web services is not supported.
The Web service alert action now supports a couple of basic OWSM security policies namely
oracle/wss_http_token_client_policy and
oracle/wss_username_token_client_policy. These policies could be used to invoke Web services which are protected by corresponding server side OWSM policies. By default, all secure Web service invocations (requiring user name and password to be passed) would use
oracle/wss_http_token_client_policy which essentially makes client to go through BASIC HTTP authentication.
Using double quotation marks (") around the
file value in ICommand export does not work.
Use single quotation marks (') instead of double quotation marks to specify the
file value.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><IstanteCommands><export name='/Samples/Film Sales' file='c:\do_with_data.xml' type="dataobject"/></IstanteCommands>
When operation COUNTDISTINCT-based aggregate is chosen in Group filters in data object and report based alerts, the user might see the alert firing multiple times, even if the alert criterion was satisfied only once in the data. This behavior is seen when bulk data object operations are performed. That is, if multiple rows are inserted, deleted, updated, or upserted in the data object at one time.
Grouping by Week in a Crosstab or Chart view could cause group values for Day of Month or Day of Week to be calculated incorrectly for weeks that include the end of one month and the beginning of another.
Include Day of Year in the grouping along with Day of Month or Day of Week.
When you must pass a date input through an Oracle BAM alert rule invocation to an Oracle Data Integrator scenario, it is recommended that you set up the Oracle Data Integrator scenario to use an
alphanumeric type variable instead of
date type. Using a
date type variable may lead to a parse exception within the Oracle Data Integrator agent which results in a failure to invoke the scenario successfully.
When this
alphanumeric type variable is used within the definition of the Oracle Data Integrator interface, use the
TO_DATE function along with the format in which the date is expected. For example, with a project level variable named
alphVariableName, the function usage would be:
Within the Oracle BAM alert rule definition (for the Run an ODI scenario action), pass the date to be input in the same format.
Drilling down on a time or date dimension in a collapsed list view causes an exception. Use chart views only to drill down on time or date dimensions.
If a user designs a report view with a combination of Continuous Time Series on a
datetime or
timestamp type column, and configures a filter for that column using is within a time interval and enabling Active Now (this combination is also known as Absolute Active Now), at times, the report might not drop or add the rows as the time window advances. This is due to the time boundary mismatch between Absolute Active Now and Continuous Time Series.
Active Now time is based on seconds, and considers the report opening time as its starting point (for example, the report is opened at 10.30:15 AM), and the end point is relative to the starting point.
However, Continuous Time Series considers the upper boundary at the time unit level chosen by the user (for example, the report is configured to use minutes as the time unit, so the starting time is considered to be 10.30:00 AM).
This mismatch in time units causes the report to not add or drop rows until the row has been dropped or added in terms of seconds according to the Absolute Active Now time period.
When report is opened in sub-maximal sized Web browser window, a chart view area may display the message "The view area is too small to represent the current data." When the Web browser window is maximized, the message might not be replaced by the expected chart view.
To work around this issue, always launch Oracle BAM reports in maximized Web browser windows.
When the sample application archive (
/bam/samples/bam/order_booking/jdev_project/OrderBookingWithBAMSensors.zip) is opened in Oracle JDeveloper, it is possible that you may observe design-time issues, such as broken partnerlink associations or valid database connections that cannot connect to a target database when editing the database adapter, and so on.
It is also possible, that you may sometimes experience problems attempting to run tests using the Oracle Enterprise Manager test console after modifying and redeploying this application to the SOA server.
To avoid these issues, it is recommended that you download a more recent version of the sample application from the Oracle Technology Network Web site located at
Oracle Enterprise Manager Test Console Issue
There is a known issue with Oracle Enterprise Manager test console when submitting a
datetime type payload.
If a BPEL process requires a
datetime type input argument in its payload, and this process is tested using Oracle Enterprise Manager test console, the console drops the time data provided and adds an offset to the date value provided.
For example, an input of
2001-01-01 08:00:00 AM is modified, and reaches the BPEL process as
2000-12-31-08:00. This modification happens when the input was provided using Tree View.
This issue is likely to impact attempts to test the BPEL and Oracle BAM integration, such as when testing the OrderBookingWithBAMSensors sample shipped with Oracle BAM.
It is recommended that you provide the input using XML View rather than Tree View, or enter the inputs in Tree View, then toggle to XML View, review the data, and then submit the test request from the XML View.
For your convenience, use the payload sample below to test the sample application. Copy this payload into the XML View in Oracle Enterprise Manager test console for the OrderBookingBAM BPEL process.
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> <soap:Body xmlns:ns1="http://www.globalcompany.com/ns/order"> <ns1:PurchaseOrder> <ns1:CustID>10</ns1:CustID> <ns1:ID>1</ns1:ID> <ns1:ShipTo><ns1:Name/><ns1:Address/></ns1:ShipTo> <ns1:BillTo><ns1:Name/><ns1:Address/></ns1:BillTo> <ns1:UserContact><ns1:PhoneNumber/><ns1:EmailAddress/></ns1:UserContact> <ns1:OrderItems/> <ns1:SupplierInfo> <ns1:SupplierPrice>10</ns1:SupplierPrice> <ns1:SupplierName>SupplierABC</ns1:SupplierName> </ns1:SupplierInfo> <ns1:OrderInfo> <ns1:OrderDate>2001-01-01T15:10:20.000-07:00</ns1:OrderDate> <ns1:OrderPrice>25</ns1:OrderPrice> <ns1:OrderStatus>open</ns1:OrderStatus> <ns1:OrderComments/> </ns1:OrderInfo> </ns1:PurchaseOrder> </soap:Body> </soap:Envelope>
Deployment to Oracle BAM Monitor Express data objects through an SSL connection is not supported.
In Oracle BAM Active Studio, when the user attempts to save an Excel view using Microsoft Excel 97-2003 format, it is possible that a message that reads "Excel 2007 or greater is required to edit this Excel view" will appear. This is a known issue.
The Oracle BAM-BPEL integration is supported with the use of Oracle BAM Adapter (such as with Oracle BAM sensor actions and BPEL Monitor features). For BPEL processes and other services that attempt to send messages to Oracle BAM, the true status of whether such Oracle BAM invocations succeeded or failed cannot be determined by studying the audit trail for that process instance on the Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control Console. It is intentionally designed such that a failure to send sensor/monitor data to Oracle BAM should not cause the regular processing of input request (within a BPEL process) to be halted/failed. Accordingly, the console will therefore only report the status for the instance based on the non-Oracle BAM related activities. The Oracle BAM Server invocation failures, if any, will be noticeable in the SOA server diagnostic logs.
If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 8, and Oracle BAM Active Studio or one of the other Oracle BAM Web Applications does not open properly (for example, some of the main user interface tabs do not appear), try refreshing or reloading Oracle BAM Active Studio.
If that workaround does not resolve the issue, close Oracle BAM Active Studio, clear your Internet Explorer browser cache (via Tools > Internet Options > Delete), then reopen Oracle BAM Active Studio.
Alternatively, if the above workarounds do not resolve the issue, add the Oracle BAM Web server to Microsoft Internet Explorer's Trusted sites:
Go to Tools > Internet Options > Security > Trusted sites and click Sites.
Uncheck Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone if necessary (it is necessary unless you have Oracle BAM set up for SSL).
Add the Oracle BAM URL to the list:
Float format (decimal separator) is decided by server locale, rather than the user's local Web browser language setting.
For example, when Oracle BAM Server is running on an operating system whose language is using dot (.) as the decimal separator (such as English, Chinese, or Japanese), and the user's local Web browser is set to a language using a comma (,) decimal separator (such as French, German, or Italian), input of number using a comma separator results in the following message:
The value specified is not a valid float
Some of the places where the suer can input numbers are:
1. Filter expression in Oracle BAM Active Studio View Editor.
2. Editing data object content in Oracle BAM Architect.
When the underlying schema (structure) of an Oracle BAM data source is changed (for example, by moving a data object from one folder to another), you must: 1) re-reverse engineer the model which references this data source; 2) manually modify the model so that it accurately reflects the current schema.
If you create a data object in Oracle BAM Architect, and Reverse Engineer it in Oracle Data Integrator Designer, then, in Oracle BAM Architect, create a new folder and move the data object into it, and attempt Reverse Engineer again, the new folder is created in Oracle Data Integrator, but the data object does not move to new location.
In Oracle Data Integrator Operator, the operation fails with the unique constraint error during the Get MetaData step.
Oracle BAM Active Studio requires the Sun JDK patch that fixes JDK bug 6940416.
This section describes documentation errata. It includes the following topics:
Section 19.2.1, "Null Out Values Using DataObjectOperationsByID Web Service"
Section 19.2.2, "Active Now Interval Must be Greater Than Active Data Interval"
Section 19.2.3, "Wildcard in Some Filters on DateTime not Supported on Calculated or Lookup Fields"
Section 19.2.4, "JDBC Data Source Statement-Cache-Size Must Be Set to Zero For Oracle BAM"
In the XML input to DataObjectOperationsByID Web service:
If an element is empty, for example
<_Sales_Area></_Sales_Area>, in the payload, then the corresponding column is made null. This is in synch with 10.1.3.x behavior.
In filter expressions, do not set the Active Now interval to be less than the Active Data Interval.
Filters created using the is like or is not like operation on DateTime type fields can contain the wildcard character (%) in the comparison value in the filter expression. However, use of this wildcard character is not supported when the field used in the filter is a calculated field or lookup filed that evaluates to the DateTime or Timestamp type. This wildcard character is only supported for regular record fields.
Also, Compare Date Only is supported for regular DateTime or Timestamp type fields only. It is not supported for Calculated or Lookup fields evaluating to DateTime or Timestamp data type.
For single instance database installs, the statement cache size will already be set to 0 (zero) by default. Do not change this to a non-zero value.
For installs against a RAC database, the statement cache size must manually be set to 0 for each RAC data source; otherwise, data corruption may occur and the Oracle BAM Active Data Cache may need to be restored from a backup (or reinitialized if no backups are available).
Testing equality on Float type values is indeterminate because Float values are approximations (in general, not just in Oracle BAM), so they should never be used for equality checks in filters (the is equal to and is not equal to comparisons).
The alternative is to use Decimal or some other data type. However, if the Float data type must be used, the equality test must be bounded by two ANDed filters of is greater than or equal to and is less than.
This belongs in the documentation as a note in the Oracle Fusion Middleware User's Guide for Oracle Business Activity Monitoring "Filtering Data" section, and in the Oracle BAM Troubleshooting Guide.

Local officials and members of the Wat Nawamin Buddhist order marked a milestone in the construction of a $50 million Thai Buddhist temple this morning when they raised the complex's highest structural steel element.
Monks in saffron robes chanted a traditional blessing as the uppermost steel girder was hoisted 100 feet in the air and placed atop what will be the largest Thai Buddhist temple outside of Bangkok and the tallest structure in Raynham.
"As a Buddhist, there is great merit in participating in building this beautiful temple, not just for the Thai people but for all mankind," said architect Been Z. Wang of Architectural Resources Cambridge at the "topping off" ceremony Thursday morning for the NMR Meditation Center at 382 South Street East.
Dignitaries from Thailand, members of the local Thai community, design and construction officials and workers and monks in residence gathered to sign the girder — painted gold for the occasion and bedecked with American, Thai and temple flags — before it was set in place.
Dr. Natthapat Saisena attended the ceremony on behalf of the venerable Phra Promwachirayan, one of the highest-level Buddhist monks in Thailand, who is spearheading the construction of the royal temple, Wat Nawamintararachutis, to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the king's ascension to the throne and 80th birthday.
"It is very good karma we have all come here to join hands," Saisena said.
Vichai Harnpukdipatima of Attleboro snapped photos with his cell phone to post on Facebook of the many signatures on the giant girder, like a yearbook of well-wishers that will forever be a part of the new temple.
"The circle of life is here in front of us," said Harnpukdipatima, a retired state worker who moved to America from Thailand 32 years ago and worships in the temporary temple located in the modest house on the site.
Guests had to dry the girder with a paper towel before they could sign their names, but Ken Fang of Engitek in Rhode Island, a consulting engineer on the project, was unfazed by the morning shower.
"Some people think rain is good luck," he said.
With the steel skeleton in place, construction is scheduled to be completed in just about a year, Wang said. The finishing touch will be a magnificent golden Chedi or spire, bringing the building's total height to a towering 185 feet.
The center will be three stories high, without the chedi. Visitors will enter the first floor to find a museum for the king, similar to a presidential library, with a café. On the second floor will be a meditation room.
On the third floor will be a temple with a giant bronze Buddha statue weighing 15 tons and shipped from Thailand in pieces. It will be 20 to 25 feet high and will be just one of three Buddhas in the sprawling facility.
The structure will also include a sculpture terrace overlooking a large courtyard, monks' living quarters, a multi-purpose meeting room that can accommodate about 700 people and various study and conference rooms.
A site near Boston was selected for the temple because King Bhumibol Adulyadej was born at Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge in 1927 while his father was a student at Harvard Medical School.
Wang said the 50-acre Raynham site has many advantages. It is conveniently located near highways, lovely and clean and much less expensive than a similar parcel in Boston or Cambridge if one could be found.
"This will be a beautiful landmark in the town of Raynham," Project Director Paul Chapple of Paul Chapple Real Estate Development Inc. said.
Jay Durand, general manager for Ajax Construction, the subcontractor that handled the ironwork for the job, watched the temple rise from the ground one steel beam at a time.
"We've worked on a lot of buildings that really don't have any meaning, but this has a lot of meaning. It's an honor to be part of it," Durand said.

Despite its violent history, Beirut stands out as being an ideal place for adventurous real estate investors, according to a new report from Savills World Research, Candy & Candy and Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management.
Yes, there has been some recent spillover from the ongoing Syrian conflict. But the Mediterranean coastal city is known for its culture and nightlife, which attracts a young population, said Yolande Barnes, director at Savills World Research. It's also known as a regional financial hub.
"Real estate in the city still looks very cheap by international standards," said Barnes.
Prices for two-bedroom apartments tend to range from $180,000 to $500,000, depending on the location.

Wright, Jackson proud of Chicago's LLWS team
CHICAGO -- No matter how the Jackie Robinson West Little Leaguers did in Sunday's championship game against South Korea, they are winners to the Cubs players.
"Win, lose or draw, they should enjoy the experience," Cubs pitcher Edwin Jackson said Sunday.View Full Game Coverage
CHICAGO -- No matter how the Jackie Robinson West Little Leaguers did in Sunday's championship game against South Korea, they are winners to the Cubs players.
"Win, lose or draw, they should enjoy the experience," Cubs pitcher Edwin Jackson said Sunday.View Full Game Coverage
Jackson and fellow Cubs pitcher Wesley Wright were among the Major League players who contributed money to help pay for the families of the Chicago team to go to Williamsport, Pa., to watch the Little League World Series, which wrapped up Sunday. However, the Jackie Robinson West team came up short, losing in the finale, 8-4, to South Korea.
"I'm excited for them and this opportunity," Wright said Sunday. "I'm so happy for them and their families, and the way they've represented their city and their families on a grand stage has been amazing to me. They're 12-year-olds, and I'm just really proud of how they've persevered through that game [Saturday], and they lost the lead late and kept fighting. They've been an inspiration to me and a lot of people in the U.S."
Jackie Robinson West rallied to beat Nevada in the U.S. championship and advance to the final. The Cubs' rain delay on Saturday was almost perfectly timed so the players and fans on the concourse could watch the game on television.
"It's fun for them -- and it's motivation," Jackson said. "You watch the news and the parents say they've already had kids sign up for next year's team. It's always fun watching the little kids play, especially when they come back to win. You see the emotions go from crying to mad to excitement and full of joy, and then the other team is just the opposite. It's an emotional game at every level, and the higher you go, the more you have to control it."
The win Saturday was especially sweet for the Jackie Robinson team, which had lost, 13-2, to Nevada earlier in the week.
Jackson and Wright have enjoyed more than just the Little Leaguers' skills. It's also nice to see positive headlines about Chicago and the South Side, where the team is based.
"I'm not from Chicago, but I am African-American, and I know there are a lot of African-Americans predominantly on the South Side and some of the headlines that come out of there can be tough at times," Wright said. "I'm glad these kids can overcome some of the tough obstacles and be successful, whether it be on the baseball field or in life. I just want to be able to help mentor them in any way I can, whether it's baseball or life in general. I'm just really proud of them."
Jackson agreed.
"It's definitely a positive outlook on the city," Jackson said of the Little League program, which he did participate in as a youth. "Instead of the headline being something negative, you can have a bright spot in the city. It's definitely energizing to pick up the paper and see a positive headline. It's fun for the city and motivation for the kids at home.
"This is where it starts. When they come home, they'll be looked at as celebrities in the city. It should encourage more kids to play. The more you're in activities, the more you're out of trouble and [sports] keep you occupied."

Chicago on Wednesday reached 100 homicides for the year--the fastest the city has hit this mark in at least seven years, RedEye and police data show.
Seventeen homicides have been recorded in the last week--including four each on Saturday and Sunday, a RedEye analysis of preliminary police information found.
Chicago has not reached 100 homicides in March since 2004, when the city logged 106 homicides before April 1, according to police data. The city reached 100 homicides last year on April 26, RedEye data shows.
Citywide, gunshot homicides were recorded in the last week in Auburn Gresham, Chicago Lawn, Englewood, Gage Park, Greater Grand Crossing, Humboldt Park, the Near West Side, New City, Washington Heights, West Englewood, West Lawn, West Ridge and Woodlawn, data shows.
In the last week, South Lawndale recorded three homicides, police data shows.
On Wednesday, a man was fatally shot in the 2800 block of South Kildare Avenue, officials said. On Saturday, a 6-year-old girl was shot to death in the 3100 block of South Springfield Avenue, police said. Three days earlier, a 19-year-old man was fatally shot in the 3000 block of South St. Louis Avenue, officials said.
Meanwhile, a 58-year-old man was beaten to death Sunday in the 3500 block of West Lawrence Avenue in Albany Park, police said.
Thirty-three homicides have been recorded so far in March. Police logged 22 homicides in March last year, RedEye found.

Rep. Shea-Porter calls on feds to open forest's private campgroundsBy MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
October 09. 2013 9:49PM
U.S. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter, D-N.H., called on federal officials Wednesday to open privately owned campgrounds at the White Mountain National Forest, while state officials predicted a 2 percent increase in tourist visits for the upcoming Columbus Day weekend.
Meanwhile, the Appalachian Mountain Club said its eight huts, popular destinations for hikers in the White Mountain National Forest, remain open, even though it was forced to close its remote campsites.
It's unclear what effect Shea-Porter's efforts, which piggyback upon those of Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., will have on the White Mountain National Forest. Forest officials have closed restrooms and ranger offices in the forest, as well as the privately run campgrounds.
"The economic damage to these private campgrounds could be considerable," Shea-Porter wrote in a letter to the Forest Service. "The Columbus Day weekend is one of the busiest weekends of the year for tourists visiting New Hampshire to view our wonderful fall foliage, and closing these campgrounds would have a significant economic impact on these private businesses."
She said losses would spill over to nearby businesses that provide supplies, gas and meals to visitors. And she noted the federal government would lose out in the share of money it receives from the campground.
Meanwhile, state tourism officials say they expect 625,000 tourists to visit the state this weekend, a 2 percent increase over last year. Columbus Day weekend is the third busiest of the year, behind only July 4th and Labor Day.
Travel and Tourism spokesman Tai Freligh said officials have been trying for a week to counter concerns about the mountain shutdown. Trails and roads remain open in the White Mountains, and the state has control of many of the popular spots in the forest — the top of Mt. Washington, Crawford Notch, and the Franconia Notch highway and its attractions such as Flume Gorge and Cannon Mountain.
"We've been getting the word out for a week now. Hopefully, the impact is minimal," Freligh said. "We do have the (National) Forest, we do have the Kanc(amagus Highway), but the foliage is great across New Hampshire."
The Division of Travel and Tourism Development predicts that tourists will spend $91 million across the state, a 4 percent increase over last year. Freligh said many factors go into tourism forecasts, such as weather, consumer spending and gas prices.
According to the AMC website, its eight huts, its Highland and Pinkham Notch centers, and two lodges remain open.
"These AMC-owned facilities are not included in the closure order and remain open," the website said.
However, shelters and campsites operated by the AMC are included in the closure order.
Even more unexplainable in the Appalachian Trail. AMC said the Appalachian Trail is closed in places where it crosses National Parks land, such as the Delaware Water Gap. However, the Georgia-to-Maine trail is open where it crosses National Forest lands.

This story has been updated to correct references to the Fort Hood shooting.
Researchers backed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency are developing a system than could scan up to 250 million text messages, e-mail messages and file transfers a day in search of anomalies that could help identify insider threats or employees who might be about to "break bad."
The system, dubbed PRODIGAL, for Proactive Discovery of Insider Threats Using Graph Analysis and Learning, will combine graph processing, anomaly detection and relational machine learning on a massive scale to create a prototype Anomaly Detection at Multiple Scales (ADAMS) system, according to a release from the Georgia Institute of Technology, which is working with four other organizations on the project.
PRODIGAL, which would be used initially to monitor the communications in civilian government and military organizations where employees have agreed to be monitored, is intended to identify "rogue" individuals — such as a potential mass-attack gunman, terrorist or spy — before they act, Georgia Tech said.

Lab's behavioral system can catch insider threats
DARPA's new cyber tack: Think, act like a hacker
Analysts now have the capacity to investigate about "five anomalies per day out of thousands of possibilities," said Georgia Tech professor David Bader, co-principal investigator on the project. "Our goal is to develop a system that will provide analysts for the first time a very short, ranked list of unexplained events that should be further investigated."
DARPA and the Army Research Office are supporting the two-year, $9 million project. Science Applications International Corp. is leading the project, which also includes researchers from Oregon State University, the University of Massachusetts and Carnegie Mellon University.
The idea of a system that scans a quarter-billion e-mails and terabytes of information has already touched off concerns that the government will be monitoring everyone's e-mails, but Bader told Fox News that the scans work only on internal systems with the users' consent, not across the Internet.
In a video interview at the SC11 high-performance computing conference in Seattle in November, Bader said the system would scan the communications of people with security clearances for signs that they might be "breaking bad."
For example, he referred to the Fort Hood gunman, who killed 13 people and wounded 29 others in 2009 and was later linked to al-Qaida, and Bradley Manning, the U.S. soldier accused of giving confidential information to WikiLeaks. In those cases, there were clues that went unheeded. The ADAMS project was to create a system that can put those clues together "before something happens," Bader said.
Bader said the system would be used only on sensitive networks whose users are aware that communications are being monitored and have agreed to it as part of their security clearance.
When completed, ADAMS could represent a breakthrough in "the capabilities of counter-intelligence community operators to identify and prioritize potential malicious insider threats against a background of everyday cyber network activity," according to Georgia Tech's announcement.
It will analyze massive datasets gathered from activities such as network logins, e-mails, instant messages and file transfers looking for patterns that indicate the potential for trouble.
Because of its scope, the project represents a big-data challenge for the researchers.
"We need to bring together high-performance computing, algorithms and systems on an unprecedented scale because we're collecting a massive amount of information in real time for a long period of time," Bader said. "We are further challenged because we are capturing the information at different rates — keystroke information is collected at very rapid rates and other information, such as file transfers, is collected at slower rates."

SkyNet gets both its distrust of humans and the algorithms to identify "disloyalty" to the government. However that is defined (the algorithm defines it after all).

Combine this with the recent push to exchange data between corporations and intelligence/security agencies, and you know eventually they will, (did I just go on the list, what exactly does it take, can boundaries even be defined given whatever algorithm is embedded, what happens to your right to face your accuser) at what point will "disloyalty" to a brand be considered an offence. Finally, given that "muslims" were chosen to replace "Russians" as the boogy bear to justify military budgets in the late 90's, how long till this is used to pick Muslims to disappear into gitmo?

To the Editor: Lou Bachrodt celebrates a family business
When my grandfather began Lou Bachrodt 60 years ago, the year was 1953. Cars looked pretty different from how they look today.
Remember the Chevy Bel Air, Buick Electra, Volkswagen Beetle convertible and classic GMC pick-up? Many of our "old" favorites have improved over the years; others have been replaced with even better models.
Three generations later, what hasn't changed is my family's commitment to our customers and our love for the Rockford community.
It's hard to believe 60 years have passed since my grandfather first opened our dealership doors; now, we have two locations offering more makes and models than any other dealer in the region, and we continue to expand and improve by moving our GMC and Buick lines from our State Street location to Lou Bachrodt Auto Mall near CherryVale so we can better serve our customers.
We've survived and thrived over the years, feeling blessed. I'm fortunate to work with my father, Pat, and a great team of more than 140 employees.
Three generations, 60 years. Thank you, Rockford. Thank you, loyal customers.

Cuomo presented a $137 billion budget that balloons to over $143 billion and a 5 percent spending increase when federal aid for recovery from Sandy is included.
Traditional spending without Sandy relief is held to about a 2 percent increase, without tax increases or layoffs. But New Yorkers will face several new and increased fees.
The current state budget is $134 billion, although state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli warns tax revenues are failing to meet expectations in a slow economic recovery with high unemployment.
Cuomo proposed increasing school aid 4.4 percent and funding for longer school days, while closing a projected $1.3 billion budget deficit.
He also wants to fund marketing programs, "duty free" shops for New York products, as well as jobs programs aimed at economically struggling upstate communities.
Cuomo included ways to use a total of $30 billion in anticipated federal funding — spread over several years — to restore communities in New York City and on Long Island following the devastation from Sandy. In a plea to salve a traditional upstate-downstate rift, he plans to use some aid for upstate communities still recovering from tropical storms Irene and Lee in 2011.
Cuomo's speech described the state far differently than in his rousing State of the State pep talk. On Tuesday, he said the state has dug itself out of fiscal and political crisis, only to face another one after Sandy hit amid a slow economic recovery.
"The bad news is we have a lot of work to do," Cuomo said Tuesday in Albany. "The good news is we have shown in the past two years an amazing ability to do what they said we couldn't do."
Cuomo's numbers add up, said Elizabeth Lynam of the independent Citizens Budget Commission.
"He's funded a number of initiatives in a pretty responsible framework and spending isn't going up by too much," Lynam said.
Cuomo's proposal now goes the Legislature for hearings. Cuomo and legislative leaders will soon meet behind closed doors to negotiate a final plan by the April 1 start of the fiscal year. In most years, the Legislature alters a governor's budget by less than 1 percent, although it often involves critical areas including education, taxes and health care.
"I think the fact of no new taxes is great," said Senate Republican leader Dean Skelos of Long Island. He hopes to add tax breaks for employers into the final budget. "I don't see anything that's a huge stumbling block right now."
Skelos shares majority control of the Senate with the Independent Democratic Conference for the first time. Any budget deal with the Senate will require agreement by Republican and IDC leaders.
"Once again the governor has shown we can't spend money that we don't have," Sen. Jeffrey Klein, a Bronx-Westchester Democrat who leads the IDC. He strongly supports Cuomo's proposal to raise the minimum wage to $8.75 an hour, from $7.25.
"It's very refreshing to see another budget without raising taxes," Klein added.
It was Cuomo's third straight pledge against raising taxes. He and Senate Republicans broke that promise in December 2011 by enacting $1.9 billion in income taxes aimed at millionaires which continues to help balance the state budget.
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver was away following the birth of a grandchild and had no immediate comment.
Cuomo's budget would fund longer school days and school years for school districts that choose to increase instruction time by at least 25 percent.
State aid to municipalities outside New York City wouldn't increase at a time when many counties and smaller local governments worry about insolvency amid rising costs and shrinking tax bases. But Cuomo is offering a special task force to provide advice to local officials and a borrowing plan to help municipalities survive without further burdening taxpayers. Cuomo would allow local governments to borrow against future savings under the less cost pension plan adopted a year ago for new hires.
The massive budget will touch New Yorkers in many smaller ways.
Cuomo proposes suspending the driver's license of people with big, overdue tax bills. He also would make it harder to plea down some speeding charges to avoid bigger fines and insurance premium hikes — a process he says costs $58 million a year and makes roads unsafe.
He includes $60 million to keep the Buffalo Bills from moving and, "for $60 million the Bills better win this year."
But his revenue and spending plan didn't include mention the potentially lucrative drilling for natural gas using the contentious process of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. Cuomo has said he won't indicate if he will support the process that is opposed by environmentalists until a state health study is completed.
Cuomo proposed $35.9 million to implement key components of the nation's toughest gun control measure adopted last week, which was fueled by the Newtown, Conn., shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. It includes registration of assault weapons, re-registering of pistol permits, new databases to keep track of guns, and defensive and safety measures at schools, including at entrances.
AP writers Michael Virtanen and Michael Hill contributed to this report from Albany.

After winning the Premier League last season, City have struggled to replicate their form this year and are currently 12 points behind leaders Manchester United with seven games remaining.
However, while Kompany admits the club have made big strides in recent years, he says they must maintain their levels of performance on the pitch.
"We've made a massive progression not just on the field but off it as well," Kompany told ITV Sport.
"The club works and functions like a big club, which could be said two years ago as it was physically impossible.
"People forget that this is a turnaround that's happened over four or five years. It's an incredible turnaround.
"In that sense I believe we've overachieved. But we've set the standard and we can't go under that now. That's the aim."Next up for Manchester City is a trip to Wembley to face Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final and the defender is looking forward to the game.
"To play at Wembley is one of the greatest prizes of a football career," he added. "I savour it every time I play there."

NEWINGTON, Conn. (AP) - A Connecticut mother has posted bail after being charged with pulling a gun and threatening another woman at a Chuck E. Cheese's restaurant.
Police say 30-year-old Tawana Bourne brandished a .380-caliber handgun and chambered a round during an argument at the children's game and pizza restaurant in Newington on Monday night. Police say both women were at the restaurant with their children.
Restaurant workers called police, who charged Bourne with reckless endangerment, risk of injury to children, threatening and breach of peace. She was freed after posting $50,000 bail and was ordered to appear in New Britain Superior Court on Feb. 19.
Bourne declined to comment. Chuck E. Cheese's released a statement saying weapons are banned in its restaurants and managers are evaluating security.

New regulatory efficiency requirements, fluctuating costs of permanent magnets, and the ever present goal of higher performance from a smaller package, increases pressure on both the design and optimization of electric machines across all applications.
This webcast explores the many techniques used to predict electric machine performance, including analytic models, lumped parameter models based on parameter definition from finite element analysis and nonlinear time-domain finite element analysis. Presenters show how you can better understand and accurately simulate the coupled effects of heat transfer and electromagnetic performance inside an electric machine to deliver machines that perform on the cutting edge.
This webcast explains how to rapidly link traditionally separated domains, and presents the benefits of these techniques through user examples. Electric machine design using SPEED™ and STAR-CCM+® is featured, with a note to the electromagnetic codes FLUX and JMAG for loss calculation.
This presentation appeals directly to electric machine designers and thermal analysts as well as engineering managers and decision makers wanting to understand what is possible with class leading simulation tools.

James Mitchell, a stage and film actor and dancer who became a soap opera staple in his role as Palmer Cortlandt on the long-running ABC show "All My Children," has died. He was 89.
Mitchell died Friday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease complicated by pneumonia, his longtime partner, Albert Wolsky, said Sunday.
James Mitchell obituary: The obituary of actor James Mitchell in Monday's Section A said that Mel Ferrer starred in the film "Deep in My Heart." Jose Ferrer appeared in the movie. —
Mitchell joined "All My Children" in 1979 as the wealthy patriarch of one of the principal families living in fictional Pine Valley. A biography on the show's website described Mitchell's character as "gruff on the outside" but "a self-made millionaire whose love for his family runs to his core."
His final appearance was earlier this month for the show's 40th anniversary episode. He was nominated for seven Daytime Emmy Awards for his role.
"He really enjoyed it," Wolsky said of the soap. "The meaner he could be, the happier he was; actors love to play the villain."
Mitchell, born Feb. 29, 1920, in Sacramento, had leading roles in such Broadway musicals as "Bloomer Girl," "Billion Dollar Baby," "Brigadoon" and "Paint Your Wagon."
He also performed in touring companies of "Funny Girl" with Carol Lawrence, "The Three Penny Opera" with Chita Rivera and "The King and I" with Ann Blyth.
He appeared with the American Ballet Theatre and with the Agnes de Mille Dance Theater.
Mitchell's movie roles included "The Turning Point" in 1977 with Anne Bancroft and Shirley MacLaine, "The Band Wagon" in 1953 with Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse, "Oklahoma" in 1955 with Gordon MacRae and "Deep in My Heart" in 1954 with Mel Ferrer and including Charisse, who dances with Mitchell.
He had several television appearances, and his other soap operas credits were "Where the Heart Is" from 1969 to 1973 and "The Edge of Night" in 1956.
Mitchell also taught movement for actors and theater students at Yale and Drake universities. Drake awarded him an honorary doctorate in fine arts.
A memorial will be held at a later date, Wolsky said.

John Bell got to umpire the first game of the Little League World Series and the final game, and in between he created memories and friendships that will last a lifetime.
John Bell got to umpire the first game of the Little League World Series and the final game, and in between he created memories and friendships that will last a lifetime.
"It was a great two weeks, an exciting two weeks,'' said Bell, an umpire from the Port Jervis Little League and a resident of Milford, Pa. "There are some amazing umpires here. I didn't anticipate getting the plate for the championship game because there are some great umpires but I was hopeful I could crack the top six.''
Indeed, Bell was chosen as the umpire covering the right-field line for Sunday's world championship game in South Williamsport, Pa. Japan rallied with three runs in the fifth inning and beat Chula Vista, Calif., 6-4. "To be picked for the finals is an honor,'' he said.
Each of the 16 volunteer umpires chosen got to work 12 games and each had two games behind the plate, as Bell did in the tourney opener on Aug. 15.
"That is about as fair as it can get,'' Bell said. "Ultimately, I would have liked to have earned a base (for the final) but I think they took a look at where everybody has worked, and I had worked the bases the last three games so that might have played a factor of me not getting a base this time. They try to be 'even-Steven.'''
Sunday's final was the third Japanese game Bell had called and the first time he had seen California. "They really are the two high-profile teams,'' he said.
Bell took a memorable foul pitch off his mask in the first inning of his first game. In later games, he was involved in two instant replay calls at his first- and third-base bags. "Thankfully, both times the instant replay official agreed with me,'' Bell said.
This was the longest single-site tournament Bell had ever umpired and he took the opportunity to forge lasting relationships, much like the players do with one another.
"We spend a lot of time with each other,'' Bell said of the umpiring crew, half of whom hail from the United States and the other from around the world. "We make friendships here that will last a lifetime.''
Dozens of friends and family members made the trip to Williamsport to support Bell, for which he was very grateful. His parents made five separate trips over the 11-day tournament, including Sunday's finale.
Bell has attended the Little League World Series for the past 15 years, and he suspects his future visits will never be quite the same.
"There's no doubt,'' Bell said. "Everything is on a whole different level when you are part of it. I will always look at things different from here on. I have been lucky. I had a chance to live the dream.''

First pitch
Fisk finally gets to throw out Game 6 first pitch
Special to The New Hampshire Union Leader
Boston Red Sox former catcher Carlton Fisk at a press conference before Game Six of the World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals at Fenway Park. (Robert Deutsch-USA TODAY Sports)
HAVING delivered one of the most dramatic scenes in baseball history on its very stage,
Carlton Fisk
was asked by the Red Sox to participate in first-pitch ceremonies before Game 6 of the 2004 World Series.
But the Sox swept, and the game never happened.
So, when the team returned to the Fall Classic three years later, again with Game 6 slated for Fenway Park, they again slotted in their former catcher.
But the Sox swept, and the game never happened.
So, when Boston clinched the pennant again this year, part of the Charlestown, N.H., native was okay with his old club letting St. Louis stick around. "Why don't you lose a couple of games?" he admitted to thinking — and because they obliged, he was there Wednesday night, putting on a fake beard and joining old friend
Luis Tiant
to kick off the occasion that 38 years earlier made Fisk a fixture of most broadcasts of postseason baseball that has aired since.
He sees it, too. He sees the ball come off his bat and sail toward the corner above the left-field wall, then he sees himself hopping down the first base line as he tries to wave the ball fair. Then he sees that it must've worked, as the ball clangs off the pole, giving the Red Sox a 12th-inning walkoff win to force a Game 7 against the Reds.
When he sees it, he still looks at it mechanically — and he still thinks it was a pretty good swing. He also thinks, "who was that young guy?" And part of him thinks he would've preferred the moment came later in his career, so he could appreciate the moment a bit more.But when he sees it come on the TV, he watches it.
"I don't ever get tired of seeing it," he said.
Fisk is around Fenway a fair amount these days, appearing in the Legends Suite at some home games, and follows the team regularly. Being from New Hampshire, and electing to go into baseball's Hall of Fame wearing a Red Sox cap, he is very well familiar with the history of the franchise.
And for that reason, he said before Wednesday's game that it's mind-blowing to see where the success this team has had in recent years.
"It really is. It really stands out in that they're doing it with different kinds of clubs, too," he said, acknowledging that after a young team got to the Series in 1975, it expected to be back and came away feeling good about having battled the "Big Red Machine" — but Fisk was in Chicago before they did. "That's something that is only up to the baseball gods whether you get back or not, and to have the Red Sox win their first in '04 after 80 or however many years ... then the Red Sox win again in '07. And then they're going to win again in '13. So what a decade for this club."
One of the more remarkable aspects of this Red Sox season has been that with the organizational reboot required after the collapse of 2011, then the plummet of 2012, this was supposed to be a bridge year. The club hoped to be competitive, but they were building to something beyond 2013. They were in transition.
As a result, several key players began the World Series knowing this might be their last chance in Boston, depending how aggressive the team chooses to be on the trade market, or in its efforts to keep together a group that has had so much success, and repeatedly reiterated how much it enjoyed playing with each other.
In that sense, it's not dissimilar from the last Sox team to face the Cardinals in the World Series — the 2004 champs. After that squad swept St. Louis, it faced decisions on a variety of key pieces, including starting pitchers
Pedro Martinez
Derek Lowe
, catcher
Jason Varitek
, shortstop
Orlando Cabrera
, and outfielders
Dave Roberts
Gabe Kapler
Varitek was the only one in that group that the team brought back. And Lowe wasn't the least bit surprised.
"When you play in this city, all you have to do is listen to WEEI and read the paper, and you'll know who is coming back and who isn't coming back," the now-retired righty said in a visit to Fenway before Game 2. "In June or July they started talking about
)'s age, and they started talking about my off-the-field stuff, and (Martinez's) aching shoulder, and they never said anything about Varitek."
There was little sentimentality in those decisions made by
Theo Epstein
, and the toughest choices now facing
Ben Cherington
will come with those players for whom free agency awaits. That group most notably includes
Jacoby Ellsbury
Mike Napoli
Jarrod Saltalamacchia
Stephen Drew
— and it'll be interesting to see how it plays out.
If Lowe's read is right, Ellsbury will be allowed to walk, and get a payday pushing nine figures elsewhere. Napoli had a three-year agreement reduced to a one-year deal when the Sox took issue with his ailing hip last offseason, so he may be tempted to explore his options.
Saltalamacchia was one of the AL's better offensive catchers this season, but his struggles reduced him to a backup role in the postseason. Drew, meanwhile, might be squeezed out as the Sox move forward with youth on the left side of the infield, in
Will Middlebrooks
Xander Bogaerts
The pitching staff also bears watching. Exercising a $13 million option to retain
Jon Lester
is a no-brainer, but with six big-league starters under contract next season, and
Brandon Workman
Allen Webster
Rubby De La Rosa
pushing for a spot in the big-league rotation, the Sox may look to move one or more arms.
Lester and
John Lackey
could be intriguing options because both are about as valuable as they'll be after this postseason and their respective contract situations.
Jake Peavy
Ryan Dempster
both have deals expiring after 2014, so they're both movable, and
Felix Doubront
doesn't yet make $1 million. Any of them could conceivably be dealt, and even if they're back, there's a chance the crew around them could look a bit different when they arrive at Fort Myers in February.
And Lowe says that has probably made this October even better.
"There was no better way for me to leave," said the pitcher, "than with a World Series."

I'm so excited about this little creation I just whipped up today. SO excited. I just had to share it with you right away.
Can you tell it is a rainy day with nothing better to do than blog?
This recipe my friends is against all things I believe baking to be.
But I just couldn't help it.
It's genius really.
I've seen recipes floating around blogsphere that use 2 or 3 ingredients to create, cookies, brownies, and cakes but never whoopie pies. I had to jump on the bloggy train and try these simple non recipe, recipes out.
These have only 3 ingredients.
People did you read that.....THREEEEEEE!!
All 3 just so happen to be something I vow to never buy. When I do I cringe a little on the inside.... in a minute you'll see why. In fact I think I have even talked about my dislike for these 3 ingredients before.
I know you are all dying to know what the three are so here... I will let you in on my secret.
Orange Creamsicle Whoopie Pies
1 box vanilla cake mix
1 cup of orange soda
1 container of cool whip
In a bowl mix cake mix and soda together.
Drop into 1 tbs heaps onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 for 10 minutes.
Let cool and with a spatula remove from cookie sheet.
On the bottom of one cookie dollop 1-2 tbs of cool whip in the center.
Top with a 2nd cookie.
Store in the refrigerator.
*** These are so good just like this BUT you can up the orange flavor if you'd like by adding 1 tsp of orange extract into the cake mix.
*** Another blogger friend tried these last night with a Gluten Free Cake mix... it did not work. So those of you that use a gluten free mix... I wouldn't try this one at home! And after some more thought after talking with the other blogger, I strongly suggest if you want an extra orange flavor... use a tsp of orange extract.
Now I have half a bottle of soda to dump down the drain. I swear it's the devil. But so worth buying so I could make these easy peasy whoopie pies

"It may not sound like a lot, but it adds up to an extra three-and-a-half days a year," Quinn said during a speech at LaGuardia Community College last week.
Quinn was especially critical of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). "Right now the MTA focuses almost exclusively on existing demands." she said.
The speaker took her lead from Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who took control of the city's education system from the state, and vowed if elected mayor she would push for state legislation that would give the city's mayor of a majority of the appointments on the MTA's governing board.
She also said the mayor should decide who is the president of the NYC Transit Division, and that the changes would mean that the majority of the people who actually use mass transit will be better represented.
"This change will keep our trains and buses operating as a regional system, but will make sure that the majority stakeholders have a majority voice," she said. "And having the buck stop with the mayor will bring much needed accountability, just as we've seen with mayoral control of our schools."
As for specifics, Quinn said the city needs to incorporate ferry service on a more regular basis, citing the success of the East River Ferry Service.
"In just 18 months, it's already served over 1.6 million riders," she said.
The plan drew praise from waterway activists.
"The vision for the next phase for ferry service in New York City laid out by Speaker Quinn has the potential to reactivate our waterfronts, help even more residents and visitors move around the city easier, all while leveraging one of our great natural resources," said Roland Lewis, president and CEO of Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance.
Quinn said she would also look to expand Select Bus Service routes, noting that expanding bus service is easier – and less expensive – than expanding subway service.
"Subways cost roughly $1 billion a mile to construct," she said. "Bus rapid transit, just $1 million a mile."
"Select Bus Service is New York's opportunity to provide communities that have been starving for transportation options with world-class service," said Paul Steely, executive director of Transportation Alternative.
Quinn made it clear that any large-scale mass transit initiatives would take years to come to fruition and create a financial burden on the city.
"Now, this won't be cheap," she said. "Building new Metro North stations could cost $600 million, new select bus routes could be $150 million in capital, and expanding ferry services $3 to $6 million more in operating subsidies."
But the cost and time were justified by the speaker, who said that it is more important for people to be with their families or sleeping, rather than spending time in traffic.
She also noted that economic activity would increase.
"Every $1 billion in transportation funding generates $3.6 billion in economic activity and supports 36,000 jobs," she said.

School district officials say the 15-cent increase in the school tax rate would cost the average property owner an extra $132 per year.
A tax increase or major cuts in education spending.
That's the choice Appoquinimink School District officials say voters will be making Thursday when they head to the polls to cast their ballots on the second referendum in three months.
"This is a decision that will directly impact the students in our community," Superintendent Matt Burrows said Wednesday. "We have a great school system where more than 70 percent of our students go off to college and we hope the community comes out and supports us so we can continue to offer all our students with a well-rounded education."
Burrows, who took over as superintendent in 2011, already has seen one referendum defeated by voters.
A Feb. 28 measure that sought to raise $22.75 million in operating revenue through four years of graduated tax increases was rejected by 58 percent of the 7,934 voters who participated in that referendum.
As a result of that vote, the Appoquinimink School District faced a $2-million shortfall in the 2013-2014 school year, with larger deficits anticipated each year thereafter, which district officials attribute to a $4-million reduction in annual state funding.
"Faced with more students, less money and no way to generate revenue, we have been drawing from our reserves and cutting costs wherever possible," district spokeswoman Lilian Miles said. "Now the reserves have been depleted and can no longer cover the anticipated expenses for the next school year, so we've reached a crossroads."
The school board voted in March to undertake a three-part plan that district officials say would keep the Appoquinimink solvent for the next three to four years.
First, the board voted to save an estimated $645,000 next year by closing both Townsend Elementary School and the Appoquinimink Early Childhood Center through the 2013-2014 school year. Students from Townsend Elementary already have been attending Old State Elementary this year while their school undergoes renovations.
District officials say the closure of Appoquinimink Early Childhood Center also will allow them to convert the building into the district's lone pre-K school in time for the 2014-2015 school year.
In April, the school board enacted another $305,000 in spending cuts that included reductions for a variety of programs and line items – among them an 8-percent cut in the annual allocations to individual school building – but did not eliminate any existing staff.
The final step of the school board's plan comes before voters today in the form of a referendum that seeks to increase the district's current school tax rate of $1.60 per $100 of assessed value by 15 cents, which amounts to less than half the full 31-cent hike over four years that voters defeated in February.
If approved, the referendum would raise $2.79 million in new funding per year.
Combined with the $950,000 in spending cuts approved by the school board over the last two months, the tax increase would allow the district to cover its anticipated shortfalls, restore previous spending cuts on textbooks, technology and building maintenance, while meeting the state-mandated minimum in reserve funding.
If the referendum fails, district officials say the school board will be forced to eliminate 28 teaching jobs and 17 other staff positions out of the district's total workforce of 1,100.
World language programs in elementary schools, all extracurricular activities in elementary and middle schools, and freshman and junior varsity sports at the high school level also would be on the chopping block, among other programs.
For a full list of potential cuts, visit the district website at www.apposchooldistrict.com and click on the Referendum tab.
