CALGARY — When Prairie Rose School Division outfitted 30 of its school buses last year with wireless Internet access, it was to give students something to do during the lengthy rides, often along gravel roads, that last as long as 90 minutes one way.
But months into the experiment, officials and drivers at the rural school division around Medicine Hat have observed an unintended consequence: bad behaviour on the school bus has dropped significantly.
Instead of poking the kid next to them or acting foolish, the troublemakers are surfing online. Maybe they're even doing their homework.
"Any kind of behavioural issues on the bus that we've seen previously have basically been really cut back, really diminished," said Prairie Rose director of technology Lyle Roberts. "We've had some issues where some students were constantly causing problems before we had Internet on the buses.
"Now those problems are gone. If the Internet ever quits on those buses, let's say the equipment quits for any kind of reason, we get a call from the bus driver immediately saying 'I need that Internet back on that bus.' "
School buses equipped with Wi-Fi serve South Central High School in Oyen, Foremost School (about a 100 kilometres southwest of Medicine Hat) and New Brigden School (north of Oyen).
The province is sponsoring the one-year project, and an education researcher is studying the results.
Each bus is outfitted with a small box underneath the front seat, which holds the wireless router and antenna booster. A 45-centimetre antenna is fixed to the driver's mirror.
The equipment costs about $1,000. The bus connects to the Telus 3G network, with service charges between $40 and $50 a month for each vehicle.
However, it's not an online free-for-all. Filters prevent students from streaming or accessing social media, like Facebook. The Internet restrictions in place in school apply on the school bus.
That said, school officials say they aren't kidding themselves into thinking teens are spending the whole ride eagerly digging into mounds of homework.
But superintendent Doug Nicholls figures that even if just 25 per cent of the time is spent on school work, that adds up to a lot of hours over the course of the academic year.
"We're not so naive as to think that 100 per cent of Internet use, or 100 per cent of the technology use is going to be on school work," he said. "The kids are going to be on the Internet as they would at home."
The school board also offered netbooks to all students with a 60 minute ride or longer. The junior high kids have gobbled them up, while the high school students prefer their own smartphones and tablets.
The idea of installing Internet in Prairie Rose school buses came a few years ago when school board trustee Arnold Frank was golfing in Arizona.
He heard about an Internet school bus program on the radio and when he returned to Alberta broached the subject with Roberts, the director of technology.
It seemed like a good idea, but potentially expensive, and sat on the back burner. That is until a rural issues symposium where Roberts brought up the idea.
To his surprise, his superintendent came back a week later and told him Alberta Education officials were keen to learn more. By March last year, a deal was struck for the province to fund a pilot project.

SandForce Inc. from Saratoga, CA recently announced the company?s new solid state disk processor family. Based on their foundry partners TSMC and proven 65nm process, the SF-2000 family of SSD controllers from SandForce include three processors; The SF-2300 for industrial applications, the SF-2500 [SATA] and SF-2600 [SAS] intended for enterprise.
SandForce SF-2000 SSD Controller Family Overview
One of the unique and impressive features of the new processor line is the industrial temperature support [-40 to +85 degrees Celsius]. While still not automotive-grade [105C required], the SF-2300 is opening up doors for SSD technology to enter embed applications such as airplane entertainment systems, heavy duty workstations, mobile servers and many more.
The SF-2000 family supports single-level, multi-level, and enterprise multi-level cell [SLC, MLC, & eMLC] NAND Flash families from all major suppliers with its high-speed ONFi2 and Toggle Flash interface. Sources report that the company has responded to complaints with their earlier controllers making changes to the NAND interface, the on-chip memories, and the encryption engine.
DuraWrite Technology – How to Minimize Write Amplification and avoid slowing down of NAND Flash Writes
DuraClass is the collective term SandForce uses to describe various proprietary technologies they incorporate in their controllers. DuraWrite, RAISE [Redundant Array of Independent Silicon Elements], and AES-128 encryption. The technology does not require an external DRAM chip like most SSDs thus reducing cost. DuraWrite technology optimizes MLC endurance in write intensive applications, and a maintains a high sustained and balanced read/write performance.
The SF-2000 SSD Processor Family addresses the needs of Enterprise and Industrial storage markets with configurations and firmware optimized for each segment. These devices preserve the advantageous SandForce "DRAM-less" architecture [no DRAM cache required] which is optimal for dense and custom tiny form factor native SATA SSDs, in addition to SAS- and PCI Express-based SSDs when integrated with industry-leading RAID and Host-Bus Adapter chips on one card.
Where to See It
SandForce plans to demonstrate SF-2000 products at the Storage Networking World Exhibition to be held next week at the Gaylord Texan Hotel, Dallas, Texas [October 11-14]. They will be showing 2.5-inch SSD reference designs operating with 30nm-class Flash memory with both ONFi2 and Toggle interfaces. Products from SandForce customers will also be on display at the exhibition.
OCZ Teams with SandForce
In a concurrent release, OCZ Technology from San Jose, California, announced that they are teaming with SandForce to produce a product line that leverages Serial-ATA III [SATA] using cost effective NAND Flash components. The updated Deneva Family of products based on the SandForce SF-2000 controller family is expected to sample in the fourth quarter of 2010, with mass production availability beginning in the first quarter of 2011.
Playing Field
SandForce competes in the SSD merchant controller market with Indilinx, JMicron, Marvel and several others. Intel and Marvel are reported to be collaborating on an SSD controller according to several sources, as well as Seagate and LSI, who are working on an enterprise-class SSD controller. Vertically integrated NAND Flash manufacturers that also make their own controllers are Samsung, SanDisk, Toshiba, Intel and Micron. This leaves independent suppliers as SandForce?s potential customers. I wouldn?t be surprised if they had this segment to themselves. Oh yeah, expect a whole host of others signing on to the SF-2000 product family.
Not having seen competitive benchmarks yet, it?s difficult to predict results, but the "up front stuff" looks to have all the check marks filled, bold faced, underlined with quotations marks. I?d be surprised and very disappointed if it didn?t live up to its billing…

The developers behind the already popular ESET Security solutions for various desktop platforms is responsible for the next entry in our Mobile Security App Shootout: ESET Mobile Security for Android. Before we get started with reviewing the app, it's important to note that right now ESET for Android is in its Beta stage, and the app available on the Market is a Release Candidate, meaning it's not quite finished yet. The good news, however, is that the app is free throughout its stages in beta. ESET's other mobile solutions (for iOS and Symbian) run about $30.00/year.
At A Glance
ESET Mobile Security is a well-designed, easy to use app. It seems to function perfectly, and there's no way I'd know it was only in its release candidate stage if the app description didn't tell me so. ESET goes a few steps beyond basic loss/theft security by providing anti-virus, anti-spam, and on-demand security audits (more on that later). Interestingly, the loss/theft protection is completely reliant on SMS commands, which may make or break the app for some. Personally, I prefer a handy online interface, as it's very unlikely that I could remember all the SMS commands necessary. On the other hand, the option of controlling your phone remotely via SMS adds a lot to the security of the app, because it means you can track and control your handset even if data is disconnected.
First in the Features category, we'll discuss ESET's Anti-Virus capabilities. The controls here are pretty intuitive, enabling the user to scan their entire device, or a specific folder, and view logs of previous scans, as well as access to a list of quarantined files. The full device scan takes some time, but not too long, and the report it generates is comprehensive and sensible.
Next up is Anti-Spam, which is a little more than your average call/SMS blocker. ESET's filter lets you make rules for certain numbers, and allows you to block certain interactions. For example the user can allow SMS messages but not MMS messages, or block incoming and outgoing calls at once. The app also keeps a handy log of spam that has been blocked. This is a pretty nice feature to see included in a security app, and adds an unexpected twist to the typical conception of a call blocker.
ESET also offers Anti-Theft controls, which, while limited, are capable and useful. ESET allows the user to find, lock, and wipe their device remotely via SMS command. All SMS commands require a password to operate, making the commands secure. The app also accepts a password reset command, but this will only work when sent from a number that is preapproved within the app. I find the complete reliance on SMS commands a bit troublesome as it means no remote control for tablets, and no easy way to manage multiple devices on one account. Despite this, however, the controls work well, and do what you need them to do. Sending a "find" command will return an SMS message containing the phone's IMEI and SIM information, followed by a response with a Google Maps link showing your device's approximate location. The "lock" function does what we've come to expect - it locks the device, and only accepts your ESET password to unlock. The wipe function is likewise much the same as other security apps', wiping all data from your device remotely.
Finally we come to ESET's Security Audit function, which is actually a small group of functions put under one tab. The first of these is the actual Security Audit, which takes note of all your phone's information and enabled features (Bluetooth, GPS, Carrier, even free disk space and battery level) and makes recommendations about each to make your device more secure. ESET provides a log of your security audits, and the final function available under the Security Audit tab is the task manager. This feature seems a bit impractical, as it simply provides a list of apps, tasks, and services running at the moment, and allows you to close those which ESET deems safe to close. Still, it's a nice touch.
While ESET's mobile security solution for Android is just coming out of the gates, it's already a pretty strong app. One huge thing I would like to see is an online control panel, but SMS commands work well enough for securing your phone and its data. Another thing I'd like to see is root presence, so the app can survive a data wipe and continue protecting your device. But again, ESET is still in its RC stage, and it is very likely that new features will be added as time progresses. That being said, let's take a look at the pros and cons of using ESET as your main security solution in its current state.
- It's Free (for now) - While ESET's mobile security options for iOS and Symbian cost $30.00/year, the Android app is free, likely because it is only a release candidate and not the final app. This is likely to change, but until then it's a nice free option.
- Features - ESET has packed many unexpected and refreshing features into their Mobile Security app for Android. The addition of such things as Anti-Spam controls and a task killer are nice touches that make the app that much more practical.
- Interface/Ease of Use - ESET is another brilliantly designed app, using an intuitive, easy-to-grasp system of navigation and control, and working just how you want/expect it to.
- No Remote Control for Tablets - Since ESET is reliant on SMS commands, it does not have the ability to control tablets remotely.
- No Root Presence - The app cannot be installed as a system app or embedded into root, so it will not survive if a crafty thief wipes your device.
- Limited Controls for Lost/Stolen Devices - While locating, locking, and wiping are three of the most popular remote security features, I'd like to see more advanced controls, especially if the app is to inherit the price tag of its iOS and Symbian counterparts.
Overall ESET Mobile Security for Android RC is a strong app from the get-go, but there is a little progress to be made before I'd consider it for my ultimate security solution. That being said, it's free right now, so it's worth grabbing from the Market and taking for a spin.

Companies in Indonesia, Southeast Asia's largest economy, are the most optimistic in Asia, with almost 9 out of 10 firms expecting their businesses to improve in the third quarter of the year, according to a quarterly survey conducted by Standard Chartered.
Indonesia is less dependent on exports and more reliant on domestic demand compared to its peers elsewhere in Asia, and its middle-class, along with its per-capita income, is growing, the British bank said in the survey.
These themes shield the country from weakness in demand in the U.S., Europe and China, Asia's biggest export markets.
"The overall (global) economy is still very much focused on defensive mode," Clive McDonnell, Head of Equity Strategy, Standard Chartered, told CNBC Asia "Squawk Box" on Wednesday. "Yes, Indonesia does export quite a bit of coal to India and China so there are nuances there. Indonesia stands out from its North Asian peers because it is domestic-demand focused."
Because of this domestic demand, about 81 percent of Indonesian companies expect new orders to rise 10 percent in the current quarter, compared to a regional average of 66 percent, according to the survey.
Eight out of 10 Indonesian firms also expect margins to improve, far higher than the average of 45 percent among respondents.
Across Asia, concerns about input costs fell as inflationmoderated in the second quarter.
The most pessimistic respondents in the region were in Hong Kong, which is the most vulnerable to a slowdown in the global economy because trade makes up 223 percent of GDP .
Respondents in Hong Kong expect to invest and hire less as growth opportunities decline. While they also forecast input costs to drop and hence margins to rise, they also think that a slowdown in China's economy would offset any benefit of a margin increase.
"The drop in Hong Kong's ranking to the market with the lowest corporate sentiment reflects a confluence of negative factors including the slowdown in mainland Chinese tourist arrivals and, in turn, the absence of their spending," Standard Chartered said in the report. "It may also reflect the slowdown in China's economic growth."
Unlike in Hong Kong, the domestic consumer should be able to prop up Indonesia, for which trade accounts for only 25 percent of the economy. Vishnu Varathan, Market Economist at Mizuho Corporate Bank in Singapore, agrees that the Indonesian consumer looks resilient now, but warns that risks are building for the Indonesian economy.
"I think people are getting a little bit more cautious. Credit growth has been very strong, but I don't know how sustainable these straight-line projections of consumption are," Varathan told CNBC. "Wage growth has actually not been keeping up with inflation and GDP growth."
For the second-quarter survey, Standard Chartered interviewed about 350 'C-level' executives across all markets and industry groups in Asia ex-Japan in June.

Don't Read Too Much Into His Comment About 2012 Race, Powell Says
Though he said this week that he hasn't decided who he'll vote for in the 2012 presidential race, former Secretary of State Colin Powell said today that shouldn't be seen as some sort of message about his opinion of President Obama — the Democrat who Republican Powell famously endorsed in 2008.
"I'm always undecided in every election" until he knows who the candidates are, Powell told NPR's Steve Inskeep.
"I always measure each candidate against what I think the country needs at that time and I will vote for the person who I think is most qualified."
Since he doesn't yet know who's running against the president, his decision will come "in due course," Powell added.
There's more from Steve's interview with Powell over at The Two-Way. And Morning Edition is planning to broadcast the conversation Friday.

Jason Repko, CF; Dioner Navarro, C; J.D. Drew, RF; Jeff Kent, 2B; Nomar Garciaparra; Bill Mueller, 3B; Ricky Ledee, LF; Ramon Martinez, SS; Odalis Perez, P.
It almost feels like Opening Day…
180 Comments
Checkout that line-up up top. Bet it could easily take the current one head on.
LMAO…..damn, I thought we finally had a new thread 🙂
I long for the days of Ricky Ledee. Or I long for a beday. Or its been too long of a day. Something like that.
I'm really beginning to wonder if Josh is still around. We are at home now and, you'd think he would have given us soomething new. Then again, maybe he's just pissed off at all the negativity.
Let's get a lot of runs tonight for Kersh! GO DODGERS, GO!!!
Uh, oh….Padilla has discomfort in his forearm.
Yes that why he didn't close last night. I just can't believe that Donny let Guerrier close consideing that he was trying to get a 2nd innings out of him the night before.
Wow didn't think are batting average was that low at home but not shock and are hitting on the road is ok.
You and Dodgereric are our Stats Men 😉
Gosh all of this because of the freaking pitcher got the 2 out hits urgh.
Not looking good for us! This is BS! Tired of going through this crap every night!
I've come to the conclusion, we're better hitters than the Giants. We hit it right to their man and it's much easier to throw us out, whereas the giants just hit it out of reach for our fielders and makes the game more difficult.
LOL!!! Interesting perspective!!!
This game is just about out of reach. A couple more runs and time for some shut-eye.
I know how you feel, Boblee.
The last month has been a yawner 😕
Yep!!! It's past the point of screaming and giving a shit!!!!
As you say: "It's beyond PATHETIC!"
Kersh is having a Lilly moment!!!
LOL…I thought you said a Lilly monument 🙂
I'm just pi$$ed I'm out $120.00 bucks for Mlb.tv. Could have went to a couple of movies, provided no soda or popcorn.
I know what you mean Bob. I only bought the audio this year for 20 bucks!!!
Don't feel bad….I signed up for mlb Extra Innings 🙂
To be honest I don't even know why you even bother with it the past coupe of years.
I love watching baseball. Even if it's not the Dodgers.
I'm with you Trumom™. I like watching good baseball. I'm lucky that I can watch the Reds and Indians everyday.
I know tru.
12 in a row set down by Cain…..way to go Dodgers….keep up the good work and give him his no-hitter!
Alright Matt!! At least the G'nats won't get a no-hitter or shutout.
Was thinking I'd have to record the season finale of Criminal Minds tonight so I could watch this game….now, I won't have to!
God I hope this is true!!! Go Jamie!! At least Jamie seems to be thinking clearly. Get out now while the price is still high and don't burn all the equity up in legal fees fighting a battle you can't ultimately win.
Finallly….a freaking run! Thank-you, Matt!
Good evening all.
WTG MATT!!! There goes the no-no!
Finally some signs of life!! Hopefully that will wake the offense up!
Hi, vl……we need you here!
Whoever told Gibbons he could play ball????
Mattingly 😕
Pinch hitting for Kersh in the 5th with no BP….hmmm!
F*ck!! Barajass sucks!!!
They all suck!!!!!!!
Yep…they sure do!!!
The old suck-o-meter is pegged all the way in the red at the moment. . .
I have to disagree here using Castro.
Kershaw has been one of the better hitting pitchers in the league.
Poof! There it is! A freaking pop up!
We already 3/31 now 3/33 now could be 3/34.
Unbelievable…we say that almost every night!
Unfreaking believable. Bases loaded, no outs and no freaking runs. This team totally sucks. It may be a cold day in hell before I watch again. Time for a little nap.
I'm glad Ethier hitting streak is gone because I would've been mad if a guy who Ethier owned snap it tonight.
Now THAT is adding insult to injury with ALL the Giants having at least one base hit when not one of their lineup is batting over .300!!!
There are two bright sides to sucking this bad.
1. By July and August, actual attendance should be down to 10-15000 a game.
2. They'll be so far out of it even Ned won't trade what's left of the farm at the deadline.
I for one hope the Gnats and Rox catch fire and leave this pathetic mess in the dust. BTW, how can an entire team be hitting .088 with the bases loaded?
Answer to your question Beav. Ned Colletti!!!
And, frank mccrook!
And tell me Mattingly didn't really PH Castro with one out and the bases loaded. That alone should get him fired.
Yep, he did and YES HE SHOULD!!!!
lol we wasn't going to score anyway so does it matter.
Yep Beav!! Donny BaseBoob!!! And I just saw the highlights on ESPN and Kersh was freaking pissed!!!
Of course they will blame it on injuries and Furcal and Blake will save the team when they come back. Geez!!!
That's what Monday and Steiner are saying, Jhall. Yea, sure! And, I'm a size 4….lol
Have they already blame those 2 yet?
I should have said and I'm a size 38 DD 🙂
Jeez Barajass!! Why couldn't you do that the last AB with runners on base?
Damn! Gibbons is pretty fast for a caucasian!
Novarro's gotta go!
A little bit to late Barajas. That would've been nice in the 5th inning.
Yeah, Furcal will be the savior for about two weeks until he hurts himself again. Blake. Well the best you can say for Blake is that he's better than anything else they've got, but that's a pretty low threshold to have to overcome.
BTW, given all that's transpired, clearly Jamie was the brains of that family.
This team needs a fire lit under their asses!
What I would give to see Lasorda in the club house doing the deed. That would bring back some memories!
McDoo-doo couldn't keep his shit in one bag tonight. Adios!
I have a question – What's Frank's game?
(A) He still hasn't contested the judge's decision on their postnup.
(B) He hasn't filed bankruptcy.
I think he is contesting the postnup decision, but the last I heard, he hasn't been able to come up with any supporting documents he needs to overturn the decision.
That doesn't surprise me that he can't come up with any supporting documents. Breaking the franchise up into 26 different companies is nothing but a shell game, I doubt anything he does is factual.
30,421 paid attendance.
Actually there….421 😕
Thanks Trumom™!! How many do you think are actually there?
Maybe half of what they say is paid. Lots and lots of empty seats. I think even the paid attendance is enlarged to make mccrook look good.
Wouldn't surprise me!!
Dad will be pleased!!!
Yes, he will 🙂 🙂
Jamie, Jamie, rah rah rah!
Jamie, Jamie, rah rah rah!
Jamie, Jamie, rah rah rah!
Jamie, Jamie, rah rah rah!
Jamie, Jamie, rah rah rah!
Jamie, Jamie, rah rah rah!
Jamie, Jamie, rah rah rah!
Jamie, Jamie, rah rah rah!
Clap, clap, clap !!!!!!
Be careful what you wish for. I can't see Jamie doing anything without an ulterior motive.
I'm sure she's seeing alot of of dollar $igns.
Again 🙂 or should I say, still? 🙂 🙂
The worst thing about playing against the Giants is their network blacks out my Prime Ticket….so, since I can't stand Krud & Krap, I watch with the mute on….then, I have to listen to sucky Steiner & Monday instead of Vinny.
Let's him walk you Uribe.
lol or try to walk you.
Cripes is this game over yet?
I'd like to know how you can find 30000 (or even 15000) that would want to go and this dung heap of a team.
Signs of life here?
Love it when Wilson gets lit up!
Yep! Makes me wonder if all those little critters in his beard are getting jiggy with it! LMFAO!!!
Love it when Cain won't be 4-8 vs us in his career.
Way to go Loweeney!!!! Woo-Hoo!
It's about time!
I kinda think Jamie's ulterior motive would be to get the most money possible for the franchise. She loves money, and if forced to sell, the McCourts would (ironically) shut out any low-ball offers.
Selig would still have to approve, but Selig screwed us twice since the O'Malleys left, so what's a third time to him?
While Selig would control the final hammer, the McCourts would choose who Selig could choose from. And they'd chose the ones with the most money.
The two would be going through offers like contestants on Press Your Luck. "C'mon! Big money, big money! no whammies, no whammies annnnnnnnnnd…."
Wow Uribe come on Loney.
Dang stupid slow dial up I type that 2 min ago yeah Loney.
Of course maybe Jamie's smart enough to see that Selig won't allow either McCourt to even have a stake in the team. Still…
Maybe she will woo Selig with her charms 😕
Or her skills. . .
Lance sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another Ned "find."
Thanks again, Neddie!
Donnie's piss poor use of the bullpen once again!!
I think Cormier is another one of Enchanted's Shit-Kabobs!
This is a guy that refused a minor league assignment because he thought he was too good for that so they ended up keeping him.
DFA fodder if ever there was any.
lol are you sure it was this guy? I remember Sherrill did it last year.
Bring back Weaver.
Hey look at the bright side. At least they got Kersh off the hook.
And, Dodgereric & Bear will love the drop in attendance for the next home stand.
Look at the bright side we finally broke out with 5 runs and we still going to lose. Why can't we used these 5 runs when we had good starting pitchers.
Cormier is on on this roster because of who? If Belisario didn't have all that trouble Cormier would've been gone.
You're probably right shad, but I think little Neddy just didn't want to lose him, just like he doesn't want to lose all his other little PVLs he puts on the DL in order to keep. Yet he'll let Paul go. The man's a moron plain and simple.
I can't believe Troncoso blew his change damn it Torre. Schlichting time to bring him up or give Monasterios another chance.
Schlichting began 2010 with Albuquerque. He was called up to the Dodgers on May 31 and picked up his first career win by pitching four scoreless innings in the Dodgers 1-0 14 inning victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on June 2. He appeared in 14 games for the Dodgers with a 3.57 ERA in 2010.
Schlichting pitch 4 innings last year in one game for christ sake. I don't mind losing Paul because we can't keep everyone but Paul should've been released. We do have so many OF's prospect in the minor and if some of these OF's plan out than it probably no lose.
Our bullpen finds a new way to implode every night
We had a nice streak of innings with no ER's for our relievers but they surely didn't last.
The old suck-o-meter broke due to being pegged too hard against the red line with this game.
Cormier has to go!!!
Well, Donnie Baseball should have his head examined also. The one and only time all year they've comeback after the 7th, and he picks that time to bring in Cormier?
You know, its like a perfect storm with this franchise. Poor ownership you could maybe ride out with a truely good GM who knew how to get the most out of a roster. Poor GM you could ride out with ownership that was willing to spend on premier FAs and a manager that got the most out of his ballplayers. Poor manager you could ride out with a better roster. But you put all three together, then throw in some just pisspoor players, and you get what we have now.
If these guys can't pitch 1 inning than why are they on the roster in the 1st place? Someone said Miles range cost us the game and the inning over dp.
If Jansen wasn't available why not have him hit over Navarro? I can't wait to see our lineup against the White Sox in Chicago going to be.
Look like Schlichting not pitching well in triple A but who care anything is better than Cormier.
Cormier look like he didn't pitch that bad the past 2 season in TB but his numbers were way better in 2009.
While we at it why did we let Wade go?
Well y'all…
Tara. Home. I'll go home… After all, tomorrow is another day!
I hope Bills can give us 8th innings.
Good Morning. The only good thing about last nights game was the final out! I was glad to be put out of my misery.
Yoo-Hoo, Dodgereric, where are you? I waited though the BP implosion last night to get you your attendance. I had to listen to the Steiner, Monday beat Andre to death chants all night long. It was either them or Krud & Krap….some choice!
Look at the bright side. Last night's loss puts us one step closer to:
1. The release of Lance Cormier (it should have happened before opening day!)
2. Fewer and fewer fans at Dodger Stadium
3. The removal of Frank McCourt
4. The removal of Ned Coletti
5. The removal of Don Mattingly
6. The removal of Stan Conte
7. The removal of Honeycut
That would be awesome, STT. The sooner, the better!
Well, if judge Gordon doesn't agree to Jamie's first request of forcing a sale of the Dodgers, I hope he'll at least agree to her alternative request to remove Frank and put her in charge. I don't believe that would be any long term answer, but I think she would at least FIRE Ned and probably Soboroff. That would be a start.
Hola ITD!
Since you asked where Josh is, I saw him Tuesday night during batting practice. He was chatting with Dave Stewart. Dave was very nice and came over to talk to us. Roberto asked him when Matt Kemp was going to sign up. Dave answered "When the Dodgers get a new owner". Ouch! Dave signed baseball cards, posed for pictures and chatted a little bit with us.
Another one bites the dust. Padilla to DL…Troncoso called up. That gives me a lot of confidence. 😕
I had a feeling Troncoso was going to get calls back up no shock there. I want Schlichting in our bullpen over Cormier.

With more than 500 first-years and more than 100 transfer students they make up Hamline's largest class ever. "I just almost can't believe I'm here," first-year student Kayli Mitchell of Brooklyn Park said.There were plenty of Pipers on hand to help with all the boxes, refrigerators, and other heavy lifting involved with moving students into their residence halls. New student mentors, resident assistants, members of the Theta Chi Fraternity, athletes, staff, and professors made sure everything made it into the rooms quickly and efficiently."I just like to be a part of the excitement, and meet a few of the parents and students," management and economics professor Beth Gunderson said. "I've been helping with move-in day for 12 years. I wouldn't miss it."Chuma D'Kay is one of the many parents who came to campus with their student to help with the move-in process. D'Kay is a 1985 Hamline graduate so despite some natural apprehension, he is confident his son Ryan will have a good experience. "It's a very good school academically, but the class sizes are small which helps," D'Kay said. "I'm sure he will enjoy it here."Many students share their parents nervousness about this important next step, but they are also looking forward to their new life as college students."I'm excited to be part of a big city, meet new people, and learn new things," Felix Ramos of Tucson, Arizona said. "I'm looking forward to this new independence."To watch how hundreds of students were moved into the dorms in just one morning, click the video below or visit Hamline's YouTube channel.

Dave's debut: Red Fern to premiere at Tribeca
Amid continuing litigation, the fledgling movie career of Dave Matthews will emerge next month after three years trapped in film cans. The two screenings of Where the Red Fern Grows, set for May 3 and 4 at the Tribeca Film Festival, represent the first public viewings of the highly anticipated screen debut of the musical superstar.
"Red Fern to Dave Matthews fans means three years of disappointment and waiting," says Waldo Jaquith, an authority on the home-grown band. "Lucky for the producers of this film," Jaquith says, "Dave Matthews Band has only become more popular."
Indeed. Rolling Stone says 1.5 million people bought tickets to see DMB in 2002. "More people saw the Dave Matthews Band last year than any other band in the world," says Jaquith, the public face of nancies.org, the most popular DMB fan site.
Matthews, who divides his time between Seattle and Keene, chose a supporting role in this remake of a children's classic as his film debut. Based on the novel by Wilson Rawls, Red Fern is a tear-jerking story of a poor boy and his hunting dogs.
It must also be a tear-jerker to Lyman Dayton, the writer/producer/director who lost control of the film last year. Dayton, based in St. George, Utah, directed the original 1974 film, which, like the novel, has become a staple of middle school curricula. But he ran out of cash during the 1999 filming in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, and the Screen Actors Guild effectively shut down the project by ordering the unpaid crew off the set.
At one point, Matthews himself made a six-figure secured loan to the production. But it wasn't enough.
A year ago, Crusader, a California-based firm specializing in family fare, bought the unfinished film out of bankruptcy for $975,000 and then proceeded to spend over $3 million finishing it under the direction of Sam Pillsbury (Fifteen and Pregnant; Free Willy 3: The Rescue).
"We think it's better than the first film, so we're very high on it," says William J. Immerman, Crusader's chief operating officer.
Crusader sent a technician up to Seattle to visit Dave for "looping," the process of re-taping unclear dialogue. "He likes the film," says Immerman of the bi-coastal musician. "We're hoping Dave can come to the world premiere, but he's in the studio mixing his album."
While the film has yet to secure a distributor, Immerman hopes for a wide national release along the lines of 2000's My Dog Skip.
The Tribeca Film Festival was launched last year as a salve for the funky neighborhood of converted warehouses near the site of the demolished World Trade Center. Co-founded by Tribeca resident Robert De Niro, the Festival was the site of last year's world premieres for About A Boy, Insomnia, and the most recent installment of Star Wars.
Since last summer's Hook cover story [September 19, 2002: "Dave's debut: Disasters stymie Matthews' move into movies"], bankrupt director Dayton has sued the film's new owners in California Superior Court, but Immerman says the suit eventually wound up before the original bankruptcy judge in Utah, who dismissed it. Dayton's appeal is pending.
"We're not taking it very seriously at this point," says Immerman. "When you buy a movie out of bankruptcy, you know there are going to be certain lingering problems. There are always going to be one or more disgruntled creditors. But we analyzed the situation and felt we had a pretty good case. We're going forward."
But Dayton's attorney doesn't see it that way. He says Immerman and others Dayton had recruited to finish the project colluded to limit the bidding in the bankruptcy auction.
"They went behind his back and bought it from an unwitting judge," says the lawyer, Russell S. Walker. "The creditors really got ripped off."
While he says his client considers the finished production "sub-standard," Walker admits that securing a settlement, rather than winning back control of the film, is the new objective.
Does Immerman feel bad that Dayton lost his labor of love? "We recognize his creative input," says Immerman. "At least there's a film out with his name on it– instead of sitting in a laboratory somewhere."
Has Immerman heard from Dayton? "Other than the lawsuit, no," Immerman says, adding that veteran actors Kris Kristofferson and Dabney Coleman will join the film's teenage star, Joseph Ashton, at the Tribeca premiere.
"It looks like I'm gonna be there," confirms Ashton. An eighth grader when filming began in 1999, Ashton is now a high school junior enjoying "the best grades I've had in a long time."
Perhaps he can thank Red Fern's limbo. While the Anaheim area 16-year-old has become a popular cartoon voice, including the lead role of Otto on the Nickelodeon series Rocket Powered, his last starring role was 1997's The Education of Little Tree.
"I still do get fans who email me from Little Tree," says Ashton. Still, he concedes, "I'd like to build up a name for myself."

While Google had some notable partners at the launch of its mobile payment platform, the companies that weren't there could end up determining the success of the project.
Google on Thursday announced a platform and a trial that will let people tap their NFC-capable phones against a reader in a retail store to pay for goods. Sprint, Mastercard, Citi and First Data are supporting field trials in New York and San Francisco. More than 120,000 retail outlets including Macy's, Bloomingdales, Subway, Walgreens and others are involved.
But the three other national mobile operators, which back a different mobile payments platform, did not come out in support of Google's initiative. Neither did companies like Apple, Microsoft and Research In Motion that make non-Android phones.
"The other operators have their own thing, Isis, which is clearly in direct competition to this," said Nick Holland, an analyst with Yankee Group.
Isis is a nationwide mobile commerce network that uses NFC technology and was created by AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon. While it has the backing of three of the four nationwide operators, it has a significant challenge, Holland said. "Isis doesn't really exist. A pilot in Salt Lake City in 2012 is the best they can come up with," he said. "Isis really needs to get their act together quickly if they're going to compete."
If Google's offering gains traction, the other operators might decide to support it instead of Isis. "I would not think that carriers' loyalties today are set in stone," said Avi Greengart, an analyst with Current Analysis. "If they see this take off, they'll back it."
In fact, it may be difficult for them to prevent customers from using Google Wallet in favor of their own offerings. "Are they prepared to say they're not going to have Android devices because they might be able to use Google Wallet?" Holland said.
Which platform the operators back may also depend on how much they stand to gain from each. "The question I have is whether Sprint is getting anything out of this monetarily," Greengart noted. The operators would like to take a small piece of each transaction made using their phones.
In the event announcing Google Wallet, held Thursday in New York City, neither Google nor Sprint said if there is any such transaction cut going to Sprint.
Sprint could forgo such a cut if it thinks that Google Wallet might attract new users to its network. That could happen because Google has created a new kind of incentive for people to use Google Wallet.
"The reason why you'd want to have Google Wallet is not because it's more convenient to pay with the phone than to pay with the credit card," Greengart said. "The reason to pay with the phone is because it's cheaper."
Past unsuccessful mobile payment trials assume that consumers want this technology mainly because it's more convenient. For the first time, with Google Wallet, customers have an incentive to use it. That's because Google has tied Google Offers, a new service, to the wallet. Google Offers is an electronic-coupon system that lets people get discounts on certain items when paying with Google Wallet.
Sprint could reason that that incentive is enough to attract customers to its network.
Another missing link for Google is non-Android phones. It did not mention other phones during the event and did not respond to a question about whether other kinds of phones are welcome on the platform.
Holland assumes that Google will let other phone makers use it. "If they truly are making an open wallet, it needs to be cross-platform," he said. Also, it would benefit Google to allow as many customers to use the wallet as possible because it can collect even more information about consumer buying behavior.
However, even if the other phone makers are welcome, they may not want to support it, primarily because they'll see just how much Google stands to benefit from the offering. "The cleverist part of this is Google is now transcribing its existing business model in the online space to the physical world. They literally get information that's extremely valuable. They can correlate directly sales in the physical world to ads placed by retailers online," Holland said.
Other handset makers like Apple would likely prefer to collect that data themselves, rather than enable Google to do so.
Google is also now pitting its offering against one from Visa, which has been aggressively working on various mobile payment technologies. Visa argues that its offerings are more open than Google's. "Our mobile solution in the United States is designed to be used on any mobile network, with any NFC-enabled smart phone, with any financial institution and on any payment product (credit, debit, prepaid)," Jim McCarthy, head of global product for Visa, wrote in a blog post in response to Google's announcement on Thursday.
Visa plans to launch a digital wallet product in the U.S. and Canada later this year and already offers a mobile payment program at retailers around the world. It has agreements in place with Bank of America, Chase, U.S. Bank and Wells Fargo for mobile payments.
"Contrast our approach with our competitors' plans and the fundamental differences become apparent," he wrote.
The competition and a lack of support from other handset makers and operators won't necessarily doom the Google Wallet. Consumers could easily have a different system depending on the phone. But converging them from a retailer and authorization standpoint could prove sticky.
While much remains to be seen in terms of how the service takes off, onlookers were impressed by the platform that Google has assembled.
"It was, candidly, far slicker and more polished than I thought it would be," Holland said. "I've been following this for years and this is probably the most fully baked version of mobile payments I've seen."

Hear two tracks from Worship Music:
To fully appreciate just how monumental this album's release is, you have to understand a bit about Anthrax's history. As one of the pioneers of thrash metal, Anthrax came into prominence in the mid- to late '80s with Joey Belladonna as the voice behind classic albums likeSpreading the DiseaseandAmong the Living. In 1992, shortly after crossing-over into the mainstream with the thrash meets rap "Bring the Noise" collaboration with Public Enemy, Belladonna was fired and replaced by John Bush, who had just disbanded Armored Saint. In 2005, Belladonna was asked to perform with the band again for a one-off reunion tour. Bush, who was still officially the vocalist at the time, was also asked to take part on the tour and share the vocal duties, but declined. Although Belladonna sang on that tour, he was not asked to rejoin the band. The slot was saved for Bush, but he had quit the band by the time the tour was over. Anthrax then recruited vocalist Dan Nelson in 2007 and began work on what would becomeWorship Music. After recording most of the album, Nelson unexpectedly quit the band (or was fired, depending on who you ask) in 2009, leaving Anthrax with a mostly-finished album and no vocalist.
Metallica's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame turned out to be the catalyst for change. Founding members Scott Ian and Charlie Benante were having a drink with Lars Ulrich when Ulrich brought up the possibility of a Big 4 tour featuring Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, and Anthrax. The tour materialized and in 2010, Belladonna was brought back onboard since he was the voice of Anthrax from 1985 to 1992, the years the Big 4 came to prominence. The third time proved to be the charm for Belladonna—he ended up re-recording the vocals forWorship Musicand is now officially back in the band. The album, co-produced by guitarist Rob Caggiano and producer Jay Ruston, marks Anthrax's 30th anniversary and is Belladonna's first studio album with the band since 1990'sPersistence of Time.
Many feel thatWorship Musicblows virtually every metal release this year out of the water. Songs like "In the End," an homage to the late Ronnie James Dio and Dimebag Darrell, the knock-your-head-off thrash of "Earth on Hell," and the Anthrax-meets-AC/DC riffage of "The Devil You Know" (streamed above) will quench the thirst of fans that consider Belladonna to betheAnthrax vocalist and who have waited more than two decades to hear his voice on a new Anthrax album. A few days before their Big 4 hometown gig at Yankee Stadium,Premier Guitarcaught up with guitarists Scott Ian and Rob Caggiano, and drummer/principal songwriter Charlie Benante.

It was announced on Friday that Paul Dolan (@DolieTheGoalie) would be leaving his post as TEAM 1410's colour commentator for Whitecaps FC matches in order to become television analyst for Sportsnet's Whitecaps FC broadcasts. Dolan will be an excellent addition to the Sportsnet team, but the man replacing him on the radio will keep things running smoothly.
TEAM Radio quickly filled the gap by announcing on Whitecaps FC Daily (@WFCDaily) today that David Norman will be their new colour man alongside the voice of Whitecaps FC, the one and only Peter Schaad (@PeteSchaad). Norman won't be moving far, as he regularly appeared on TEAM Radio last season as a soccer analyst, mostly contributing during post-match and pre-match, but also occasionally filling in for Dolan. In fact, it was Norman who teamed with Schaad to call one of the 'Caps top moments in their inaugural Major League Soccer season - the Eric Hassli wonder-goal in Seattle.
"We have two guys here who have both played in the World Cup," said Schaad of the appointments of Dolan and Norman. "It's a win-win for everyone and I can't wait to get started."
Norman grew up playing soccer in Coquitlam, BC, and went on to play 17 years as a professional, starting with hometown club Vancouver Whitecaps of the North American Soccer League (1980 to 1984). He was also a teammate of Dolan's during the Vancouver 86ers days (1991 to 1996) and played for Canada in their only FIFA World Cup appearance in Mexico in 1986. He is one of only two Canadian players to play every minute of the eight World Cup qualifying games and every minute of Canada's three games at Mexico '86.
Since retiring from playing, Norman has been a key contributor to the soccer community through coaching and media. His connection to Whitecaps FC also remains strong, as his son, David Norman Jr., is part of the Whitecaps FC U-14 Residency program.
Whitecaps FC 2012 Major League Soccer season tickets start at $329, plus applicable tax and a $10 processing fee per order. To secure a seat and for additional information about Whitecaps FC MLS season tickets, including loge seats and suites, call 604.669.9283 or visit whitecapsfc.com/tickets.

It is amazing these days the number of people who do not have common sense or what my grandfather called "walking around sense." It seems we are raising the academic scores everyday for college entrance exams, but we are starting to run into problems when it comes to the amount of common sense that is being absorbed by the citizenry of this country. Just watch how Congress has been acting lately and you will see my point.
Common sense has to be taught at home, school or by experience. The latter is a dear teacher, but probably one of the best on the subject. Coming from a farm, I found experience taught me common sense every time I stepped out the backdoor. It just seems that there are more opportunities to teach common sense in a farm setting. Not to degrade the importance of advanced education, but without "good ole horse sense" a person is doomed to a life of pushing on doors that should be pulled to open.
One place that increased this valuable commodity for me was in the chicken house. You learn really fast as a child to never expect the expected when entering a dark chicken house.
Ours was a large structure covered with green rolled roofing, located just off from the garden. Many people today are getting into the backyard chicken and egg business, but their houses are much more "city-fied" than the poultry abode we had on our farm. The chicken nests were made out of wooden apple boxes nailed to the wall fairly high off the ground for a youngster. It was my job when I got home from school to feed the chickens and gather the eggs. Feeding the chickens was not that big of a deal, but reaching high over my head to get the eggs out of the nests was a different matter altogether. The nests were just high enough for me not to be able to see in them, and I had to reach high and feel around to locate next morning's breakfast.
I had heard all of the stories told by local old timers of finding snakes and other varmints in the nests and was always careful to feel my way along slowly as I reached above my head in the darkness. However, one spring day, I guess the call of going hunting in the woods with my favorite dog after gathering the eggs caused me to forget my concern of what just might be lurking in the darkness.
I went from apple crate nest to apple crate nest in an unusual hurry to finish my afternoon's chores. I had almost finished and could already hear "ole Kate" barking in the hickory thicket behind the chicken house. She had treed a large fox squirrel and I hurried to get the last eggs from the last nest on the wall.
I reached high and fast to get the hen's daily donation. However, what I felt was not the usual oblong shape of a brown egg from a Rhode Island Red hen. Instead it was warm and furry and seemed to cover the entire area inside the nest. With a scream of horror and thoughts of being attached by a wild animal, I withdrew my hand hoping only to have all of my fingers attached where they were supposed to be. Before I knew it, I was in the barn lot making tracks to the house, with brown hen eggs splattering the trail that I was making through the jimson weeds.
Once safely on the back porch, I sounded the alarm that the hen house had been overtaken by wild animals. Mother summoned my father to get the gun to protect the unsuspecting hens.
With the entire family in attendance, we approached the dark structure near the garden with utmost caution. My father slowly strained his eyes to adjust to the light of the darkened house and looked over in the nest. With a laugh that only a father can utter when he has something of embarrassment on his child, he reached in to withdraw six gray kittens that our old cat had deposited in the nest earlier in the day.
From that day on I was much more careful when checking the nests and you can be sure that I didn't sound the emergency alarm without checking my facts.
That same bit of common sense I still use today. It is better to be careful and check your facts than to jump to an early conclusion. If you don't, your nest eggs may turn into furry kittens.

Contact Congress on mercury
Thank you for publishing the recent article about the connection between mercury poisoning and autism. [April 7 cover story: "Generation Hg? Is Autism puzzle solved?"]
As the aunt of a niece with autism, a nephew with Asperger's, and a nephew with ADHD, I have watched three sets of parents struggle over the past few years to be the best parents they can under unusually difficult circumstances.
It's so important to spread awareness for early diagnosis and to find a cure. Profit and fear of lawsuits have allowed the use of mercury in dental fillings, vaccinations, and poor EPA standards to continue. I urge Hook readers to contact their political representatives about this issue.

If you were lucky but not too lucky, you probably knew someone when you were a kid who had a pool that they'd either a) let you use or b) wouldn't guard very well. Just imagine, for a moment, if your neighborhood pool parents just so happened to be Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick, who do adorable things like film their dog jumping off their sweet rock diving board. Suddenly your childhood pool parties seem pretty stupid, huh? Rumor has it that Mr. Bacon also has a Sunny D fountain and, if you ask real nice, he'll dance to "Let's Hear It for the Boy," but not around the pool — there's no dancing around the pool.

Christmas Day celluloid classic The Great Escape will no doubt bring back memories for the more 'mature' gamer out there; and now, thanks to SCi, you can relive those post turkey-and-trimmings nostalgia-thons by taking on Jerry as the man himself: Steve McQueen! Recreating some of the film's infamous moments, including the legendary motorcycle chase, and providing a playable back-story for pivotal characters, The Great Escape is one of the most promising war movie tie-ins to grace the PS2 since, well, Escape To Victory got over-looked (What? It would be great!).
Based on the eponymous Oscar-nominated 1963 film, The Great Escape has come a long way since its vintage ZX Spectrum incarnation (who could forget that one eh?), and comes fully licensed to depict characters, likenesses and other such legally exciting wotnot. Centring on the true story of a mass breakout of a POW camp during WWII, The Great Escape follows the exploits of a plucky group of prisoners who have pulled off more daring escapes than Harry Houdini.
Holed-up in the Stalag Luft III POW camp, the Allied soldiers must use any means necessary to get the boys out, without alerting Hitler's goons to their plans. There are four playable characters, and each has their own set of challenges to complete before you can move onto the next. So, for example, you'll start out as MacDonald, the group's resident German-speaker, then progress to the resident 'Mr Fixit': Sedgwick. And fear not McQueen wannabes, your moment of glory will come soon enough, when you step into the legendary shoes of his character Virgil 'The Cooler King' Hilts for a series of Nazi-slapping escapades.
The action's largely stealth-based, with missions seeing you creep about camp attempting to secure items or glean intel, all without alerting the guards to your night-time sojourns of course. If you do happen to get spotted by one of the guards, or 'ferrets' (Nazi escape prevention specialists) there's a couple of courses of action open to you. The first, slightly less risky option is to head for cover, skulk in the shadows and hope that no one spots you. The second choice involves taking out the 'ferret' that spied you, either by strangling them, or using any (preferably silent) weaponry you have at your disposal. There's also the rather nifty 'distraction' feature, whereby other cons will help you carry out missions by creating diversions for the guards.
In addition to the stealthy element to the gameplay, there's plenty of all-out action on hand to keep the pace up, and a variety of vehicles to commandeer as you mount your daring escape, including trucks, and the customary motorbike, of course.
Using a combination of slow stealthy acts, and high-adrenaline action sequences, The Great Escape melds a variety of gameplay to create an experience which accurately reflects the pace of the film. Fans of the 60s classic will be reassured that SCi and developers Pivotal have taken their acquisition of the licence seriously, creating a polished, engaging and entertaining bit of escapism.

Dextromethorphan Abuse 800-303-2482
Dextromethorphan abuse is affecting many people today. The power of addiction depends on the length of time the drug has been used and the quantity being consumed. Dextromethorphan abuse and addiction are common among young adolescents. The addicts usually refer to the drug by names such as Dex, Candy, Triple C, Skittling, and Robo-Tripping.
Once the user develops a tolerance to the drug, he or she craves more to get back the same sensations. Addicts usually take large dosages despite the harm they cause. Addicts usually show signs that are easy to recognize they abruptly change their behavior for instance, and take to lying and stealing. They lie about the amount of dextromethorphan consumed and go as far as stealing to support their habit.Abuse of DextroMethorphan, DextroMethorphan Abuse

Suunto became compatible with TrainingPeaks this spring. We got in touch with Canadian ultra runner Rodney Buike to learn more about the service.
Rodney Buike started his athletic career as an alpine ski racer and a mountain biker but has since evolved into an endurance athlete covering longer and longer distances. First he competed in duathlons and triathlons, but has recently started to run ultras, too.
Buike has been using TrainingPeaks as his main tracking application since 2011.
"I initially started with the free version of TrainingPeaks but soon switched to TrainingPeaks Premium for some of the added capabilities," says Buike.
"For me the best feature is the Performance Management Chart. It gives me a real ability to manage my fitness and fatigue levels over the course of my racing season."
TrainingPeaks' Performance Management Chart (PMC) tracks chronic training load (CTL based on activities older than 15 days) and acute training load (ATL based on the last 14 days of activity). These numbers are based on the athlete's thresholds which allows TrainingPeaks to calculate the intensity (IF) and Training Stress Score (TSS). This is then used to calculate Training Stress Balance (TSB). All this data can be used to monitor progress and ensure a smooth steady build up and then taper to main race or races.
Here's Buike's own PMC starting with the beginning of training for his first 50K race.
Rodney Buike's 180-day Performance Management Chart
"The first vertical red line is the peak of training with the longest run before tapering began for the race (the next vertical red line). Then you can see the recovery period and the final vertical red line indicating when training began again," Buike explains.
"There are a few important things you can see in this graph: First off you can see a long slow steady build with the gradual increase in the CTL (the blue line). There are smaller spikes along the line, which individually identify the key long runs followed by short recovery periods – but an overall steady climb. The TSB (orange line) moves into the positive as I recover and taper for the race while the ATL drops as training load is decreased."
Over the course of time the Performance Management Chart can help you plan your taper and recovery to ensure you are doing just enough to maintain fitness while recovering properly to ensure your best performance on race day.
While this all sounds very complex there are a few very basic things that all athletes can take advantage of immediately.
"The first thing I recommend is to set your zones. If you are using HR based training you can set different zones for all activities. For specific activities you can also define additional zones. I highly suggest runners to set their pace zones, which can be done using the results of a recent 10KM running race. Cyclists, who have a power meter, can input their functional threshold power (FTP) and use that to build power zones."
In addition to the Performance Management Chart, Buike highlights the premium version's advanced charts that you can use to drill deeper into the data (power analysis, scatter graphs, etc.). He also finds the planning tools very useful.
"With the premium version you have the ability to plan out your upcoming week, month or longer and have that sync with your calendar in Outlook, Gmail, Apple iCalendar or any calendar tool that supports ICS files. When you upload activities they will automatically populate the related activity in your TrainingPeaks calendar," says Buike.
So how does your own calendar look for the coming weeks?
"I have decided to move into the ultra running world and completed my first 50 km and 80 km races recently. In May I have a 130km race coming up."

Crème brûlée
Is there anything better than a creamy, scrumptious dessert that mixes all the best ingredients to make something to savor? :-) Crème brûlée is my favorite French dessert, which also happens to be one of the easiest ones to make, in a way. It's a perfect solution for leftover yolks (after making Swiss meringue or Italian meringue buttercream)—one batch of the buttercream allows making 4-6 mini bowls of the dessert!
To prepare the crusty shell on top, you will need a blowtorch—you can get a small one at some convenience stores, and however some recipes out there suggest using a broiler instead, this method is faster, easier, and allows you to control the amount of browned caramel on top.
Chocolate spread
Is there anything nicer on a Saturday breakfast than a delicious crisp bread roll with some rich, deep chocolate-flavored spread? I invented this recipe after playing with butterscotch, and it makes a superb sweet, yet bitter, aromatic spread. And the best part is that you can make it in no-time on your own whenever you want!
Whole-grain bread rolls
There are not many things that can beat the whole grain bread, unless it's 8 delicious little whole grain breadrolls ;-) These are perfect for breakfast, and you can easily prepare and bake them in one evening, for e.g. Sunday breakfast! :-)
My fool-proof recipe will be a great fun, and a good addition to your baking arsenal.
Meringue hearts
Let this special someone know you've got your eye on them with a cute, delicious, sweet meringue heart. You only need a couple of eggs, and some sugar, and of course red coloring. These are irresistible and will make an everlasting impression (because everyone loves the person that brings sweets, right?).
Sushi-like rolls
Can you imagine, there was the time I didn't want to eat sushi, because of the raw fish?! Well, that's true, shame on me. Lots of shame. On me. Agreed...
Knowing that, I decided to make a recipe for sushi-like rolls, that look and taste close to sushi, but... are not raw! Nothing in this recipe is raw, and that also means that you can keep them safe longer at the room temperature, place in your bento, take for a picnic or just offer them as a healthy snack for people didn't discover yet the ingenuity of Japanese cuisine! ;-)

Fall Classic
Good to see the series tied 1-1. I hope it goes seven, to be honest. There's not much I find more exciting than a do-or-die game to decide the champion for the year.
As for another "fall classic," if you're up for a good baseball read, check out Jerry Crasnick's book License to Deal, an incredibly real look at the life of a baseball agent and the business side of the baseball. I'm about two-thirds done and it's a very enjoyable book. I'm particularly intrigued in reading about Matt Sosnick, who as you might remember, was the "other" agent involved in the Luke Hochevar debacle with Scott Boras last year.
Crasnick, a longtime baseball writer whom I respect quite a bit, also wrote one of the best features on Russell Martin this season. The article ran in September on ESPN.com and also in Baseball America.
10 Comments
hey josh, i saw the book, and it looked real interesting.. i think i'll go out and get it… any word on roy smith, and terry collin's replacements?
Funny you mention the excitement of a Game 7. My bf said exactly the same thing last night.
Have you ever hear of "The Iowa Baseball Confederacy"? I just finished reading it and it's pretty cool for baseball ficiton!
Also, thanks for posting the link to the Russell Martin article!
Just in case, my posting from earlier !!
It's the off season and I think some of you guys are losing it !! Glaus, no way !! and all those others you ripped off dualtone, NO WAY !!! BELIEVE IN THE KIDS !!! fill a couple of holes like Nomar to 3B (absolutely the best guy for the job)(this way if Kent goes down or Loney falls apart Nomar is the proven player), Loney for 1B and maybe a deserving sole for CF. Otherwise, BELIEVE IN THE KIDS !!! Spend the money in the bullpen. Take a gamble and sign Gagne to 2 years worth of incentives and then find a solid innings eater for the starting rotation and another for long relief !!
Go Ned !!
Go Dodgers !!!
Gary, I agree with you. Let's see what we have. After all the summer overhaul, we need a spring training to let everything shake out. Most of the players we picked up had good streaks (even Hendrickson in relief). Lets see what happens with everyone starting fresh. I hope they can work out something with Eric Gagne and Nomar Garciaparra on a reasonable contract. Almost everytime we give someone a long term and expensive contract, they fall flat on their face with the Dodgers. I think several of Ray's kids will prove ready. I know Andre Ethier faded late in the season however I feel he now knows what it is all about and will be a valuable season long contributor. My gut feeling is that Matt Kemp will not be more than a good player. Hope it is just gas from tonight's meal.
Greg Maddux should be resigned for no other reason than the steadying influence he has on the rest of the staff.
I can't wait for spring training. Everyone have a good winter.
gary, dave your both right. like i have been saying lets give "my kids" a shot.. i would rather see andy laroche at 3rd than wilson betemit.. i would rather see loney at first than nomar.. i would rather see greg miller than bret tomko..
protect the future. I agree,
we need to let the kids play,
and my biggest fear is a big trade that cost us someone like laroche,scott elbert, or matt kemp. keeping normar and maddux, and rebuilding the bullpen around gagne, broxton, saito, and brazoban is the better way to go, at least through spring training to see what we have.
our history lately on trades is rather poor, free agents are costley, but after reading this blog all year, would we all be happy with a young team? I would rather watch a team building for the future than what we saw at times this year.
also baseball america listed the 600 minor league free agents, we stand to lose 22 players, with rhp's joel hanrahan, and healt totten, and lhp kelly wunch, derek thompson, matt merricks, and ryan ketcher among them. granted that the lhp have injury history, but sad to see them go, if they sign elswhere.
protect the future, a few smart moves, and on to the playoffs in 07.
I asked this question a while back, but no one gave me an answer. Why does Dodger stadium not allow signs or banners?
"I asked this question a while back, but no one gave me an answer. Why does Dodger stadium not allow signs or banners?"
From what I understand, it has something to do with a way out-dated LAFD fire code. It was in place due to all the cigarette smokers that used to be in the stands. The reasoning I guess is that a banner would catch on fire. The code is really archaic and should be recinded.
hey josh, can you tell me something about jon watson the new Director of Player Development?
This briefly explains it.
