Three patents pertaining to memory chip design that were used to successfully sue HP and Nvidia—dubbed the Barth Patents—are among Rambus' most valuable IP. Excuse me, they were among Rambus' most valuable until the US patent office invalidated them.
According to court documents, the US Patent and Trademark Office invalidated the last of the Barth patents this past Tuesday—the other two were struck down in September. Rambus had employed the trio to sue a number of companies, including STMicroelectronics, Broadcom, and MediaTek over the last few years. Rambus' aggressive litigation for infringement netted it hefty licensing fees from the court settlements. This decision, however, should open the door for the companies to reclaim at least a portion of their settlement sums. [Reuters]

The UN Development Group (UNDG) unites the 32 UN funds, programmes, agencies, departments, and offices that play a role in development. The group's common objective is to deliver more coherent, effective and efficient support to countries seeking to attain internationally agreed development goals, including the Millennium Development Goals.
Established by the Secretary-General in 1997, the UNDG designs system-wide guidance to coordinate, harmonize and align UN development activities. The group strengthens the UN development system at the country level, prepares it to meet future challenges and ensures that operations are conducted in accordance with mandates from UN governing bodies such as the General Assembly.
By strengthening the UN Resident Coordinator system and helping UN organizations work together in new and better ways, the UNDG generates synergies and efficiencies that increase the impact of UN programmes and policy advice. Coordinating development operations promotes more strategic support for national plans and priorities, makes operations more efficient and reduces transaction costs for governments. This helps the UN to be a more relevant and reliable partner for governments.

"He faces stiff opposition from other islamists, liberals, former regime members.."
They said,
"He's a back-up candidate who lacks charisma"
They said,
"Its a depressing choice"
But they can only comment and criticize and opine. Allah gives victory to whomever He wills, and try as much as we like, we human beings have no power except by Allah.
He was the one who willed for a country to be ruled by iron-fisted dictators for over 50 years. Why? Only He knows why, we can only, at best, make educated guesses. My guess is that this long period of repression was a training ground.
Heat and pressure turns coals into diamonds.
And a wise man said,
كونوا عبادا قبل ان تكونوا قادة
"Become slaves before you become leaders"
That long period of repression and imprisonment was a test. To see who would be sincere in the face of hardships. To separate the black dirt from the white flour. To make them humble. Because only humble leaders can have empathy with the poor, the weak, the downtrodden.
May Allah be with you, Dr. Morsi.

Make your cat's wellbeing a priority. See your veterinarian regularly and follow these tips to keep your pet happy and healthy.
Your veterinarian will give you a recommendation for a high quality and nutritious diet for your cat, and advise you on how much and how often to feed him or her.
Microchipping is a safe and permanent identification option to ensure your cat's return should he or she get lost. Ask us about the process and get your pet protected.
Keep your cat indoors to protect him or her from common hazards such as cars, other animals, and diseases like Feline Leukemia Virus and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus.
Dental and Oral Health
Brush your cat's teeth regularly and check with your veterinarian about professional cleanings as well as dental treats and products available to help prevent bad breath, gingivitis, and underlying disease. Although your cat's teeth may look healthy, significant disease could be hidden below the gum line.
Be sure to spend at least 15 minutes a day playing with your cat to keep him or her active and at a healthy weight.
Litter Box Training
Place your kitten in the box after a meal or whenever it appears he or she needs to go. Be sure to scoop out solids twice daily and empty it out completely once a week. The number of boxes in your household should be the total of number of cats plus one.
Frequent brushing keeps your cat's coat clean and reduces the occurrence of shedding, matting and hairballs. Your cat may need professional groomings if he/she has an unmanageable coat or trouble self-grooming.
Environmental Enrichment
Entertain your cat's natural instincts by using toys that mimic prey and encourage him or her to jump, run and hunt. Cats also need a vertical space within the home – furniture like a cat tree or a raised perch helps to keep them feeling safe.

Few months ago, I restored a full Nandroid backup which was created few hours ago. When I booted up, everything went fine, but Gmail & Google+ went out of sync. Perhaps, it was a timestamp problem.
Problem was this: If I read an email on web, the read status was reflected to app, but reverse wasn't true. If I read an email on app, the read status wasn't reflected to web or other devices/apps.
The exactly same thing was with Google+ notification read status.
I cleared data of Gmail app and the problem was fixed. I did the same thing with Google+ app, but no benefit. I even uninstalled & reinstalled the Google+ app, but again no benefit.
I left that for months. I have notified Google, updated to every new version, but the problem is still here even today.
How to fix it? Don't suggest factory reset, please.

First Look: Toyota Yaris HSD Concept
Honda may not be the only Japanese automaker readying a hybrid-electric variant of a B-segment hatchback. In keeping with a goal of offering an all-hybrid lineup in Europe by 2020, Toyota unveiled its Yaris HSD concept at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, and indicated the car could be in production by the end of next year
The showcar is apparently based off the latest iteration of the Yaris/Vitz B-segment subcompact, which launched in Japan late last year, and is slated to arrive in other global markets within the next twelve months. For the most part, the concept bears a close resemblance to the stock hatchback, but designers have instilled some additional style by means of a few cosmetic touches. Up front, a dramatic fascia incorporates a massive lower grille section, teardrop-shaped side air intakes with fog lamps, and canted blue-tinted LED headlamps. That swagger is carried throughout the Yaris' exterior thanks to flared fenders, aggressive character lines, large eight-spoke aluminum wheels, and a tall rear bumper with an integrated diffuser.
Interestingly, Toyota is avoiding providing anything but a superficial look at the gas-electric Yaris. Although the model has been confirmed for production, the automaker has refrained from providing any firm specifications on the HSD concept's powertrain. Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive, which pairs a gasoline engine with an electric motor via an electrically variable transmission, is essentially a given, but we don't know what engine Toyota plans on stuffing underhood, but the 1.8-liter I-4 used in the Prius, Prius V and Prius+, Lexus CT200h, and the European Auris HSD may prove to be overkill. Look for a smaller four-cylinder offering (i.e. 1.3-1.5 liters or so) or Toyota's miniscule 1.0-liter three-cylinder to eventually work its way underhood.
Just how production ready this show car truly is remains to be seen (we're betting the LED headlamps and camera-based side-view mirrors are ditched before reaching consumers), but Toyota is apparently wasting no time in ushering it into production. The company has confirmed the Yaris HSD will be built at its plant in Valenciennes, France, and arrive in European showrooms in the second half of 2012.
Will the Yaris HSD ever arrive stateside? Company officials have shied away from answering that question, but it isn't likely. Seeing as the Valenciennes plant primarily builds Yaris models for European markets, we think the Yaris HSD -- much like Honda's Fit Hybrid -- may not be ported to North America.

I went through oral surgery more than a month ago and I still have nightmares featuring the cracks deep inside my skull as my dentist struggled to break a huge molar. Again. And again. And again. That's why these kids' before and after portraits make me cringe—but also laugh.
They perfectly summarize the horror that is to go through oral surgery. It will reduce anyone, from kids to Chuck Norris, to a miserable piece of wasted and sad human meat bag.
The photos were taken by photographer Andy Brown "during an Arts Council funded documentation of the Children's Hospital in Sheffield."
These portraits show children immediately before and after a surgical procedure to have teeth removed. They were asked to pose for the second picture even though they were recovering from general anaesthetic.
You can read more about that project here. [Andy Brown via It's Nice That via PetaPixel]

How would you like to be able to entice moremembers to join your Cash Crusader site? What better way than to give them an opportunity to earn some cash before they even sign up? With the promise of earning more by becoming a full member?
That is the aim of this plugin. It is aimed at using affiliate network offers that pay based on unique email addresses/IPs. You can use it to create an area on your site where people can sign up for offers (similar to PTSU offers) without needing to bother signing up as a member. Tracking of their earnings is done using a Paypal address, or other payment processor that uses email address format for user ID - such as Alertpay. Affiliate Networks you use must support 'sub-ids' (almost all do support this).
Once installed you will have a new area in your plugins admin, which you can use to configure some text messages and the like for the plugin to use in the offers display, as well as emails to send (or not to send) when an offer is denied. There is also a management area to use to delete offer claims when you need to, either after you pay them, or if you decide they should not be paid for whatever reason. The offers themselves are created through the normal Cash Crusader PTSU area, using a special ad group that will only show them in the 'Non-Member Offers' section of the site.
The 'Non-Member Offers' plugin is easy to use, and has the potential to significantly raise your membership, by attracting new members who can see in advance a real cash payment in their Paypal or other Payment processor account. Naturally this is a major incentive to join. As the ID used for signups is their unique payment processor ID, the issue of attempts to signup for an offer multiple times should be handled by the Affiliate network.
New! Now with configurable number of columns to display your offers in, and configurable number of offers to show per page, plus improved CSS support, to more easily customize the look of the offers section!

homotopy transfer for algebras
Let $A$ be a differential graded (dg) $k$-algebra, and $H(A)$ its cohomology. $H(A)$ is naturally equipped with the structure of a graded algebra. In general we don't have that $H(A)$ and $A$ are weakly equivalent (i.e. quasi-isomorphic).
Nevertheless, it is well-known that there exists an $A_\infty$-algebra structure $(m_k)_{k\geq1}$ on $H(A)$ with the following properties:
- $H(A)$ equipped with this $A_\infty$-structure is weakly equivalent to $A$.
- the first structure map $m_1$ (i.e. the differential) vanishes.
- the second structure map $m_2$ coincide with the natural product on $H(A)$.
This structure is essentially unique: it is unique up to a unique $A_\infty$-isomorphism.
Moreover, there are explicit formulas for for the $A_\infty$-structure and the weak equivalence, in terms of planar trees. The main point is that the formula involves the choice of quasi-isomorphisms $i:H(A)\to A$ and $p:A\to H(A)$, together with an homotopy $h$ between $i\circ p$ and $id_A$.
homotopy transfer for sheaves of dg algebras?
I would be interested to know how to adapt this for sheaves. Namely, if now $A$ is a sheaf of dg algebras and $H(A)$ its cohomology sheaf. First of all one has to assume that $A$ is formal (i.e. quasi-isomorphic to $H(A)$) as a sheaf of $k$-modules. But even in this situation the existence of $i$, $p$ and $h$ is not guarantied.
the question
How does homotopy transfer works for sheaves of algebras?
possible (incomplete) answer
One can do things locally and then try to glue, the gluing condition will probably be satisfied only in a weak sens... and then my question might boil down to
what is the right definition of a (homotopy) sheaf of $A_\infty$-algeras?
A way to answer this is to use model categories. I was planning to proceed in the following way (very shortly): $A_\infty$-algebras are fibrant objects in the model category of dg coalgebras, then we have a Reedy model structure on presheaves of dg coalgebras, and sheaves of $A_\infty$-algebras can be defined as fibrant objects in this model category.
At this moment I am stuck. I am sure I am not far from the answer, but somehow I can't see the point.

Bicycles, Beer and the Factory Jobs that Aren't Coming Back
Manufacturing is going the way of agriculture, which technology has reshaped to employ ever-fewer workers. But traditional manufacturing isn't the only game in town.
The news is full of reports about the resurgence of manufacturing in the United States, and both President Obama and Mitt Romney are talking about the comeback of factories. But the reality is that traditional factory jobs are going the way of agricultural jobs, which have disappeared since the 1800s as farming became mechanized and reshaped by technology.
That was Jon Roberts' message in August to a group of attendees at the annual conference of the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners. Roberts, a principal with the economic-development consulting firm TIP Strategies, is quick to point out that, while the pattern is clear, his assertion is merely an opinion--existing data can't be used to predict future trends. And he acknowledges that in 1880 you couldn't really have foreseen the continuing decline in employment in agriculture that has occurred.
The idea that the decline in manufacturing jobs is analogous to what has happened with agricultural employment was a fresh and powerful insight for me. For several reasons, I'm certain that Roberts is right. First off, he certainly has the credentials: He has a strong and diverse background in economic development, and he started a couple of his own manufacturing companies. He did economic-development planning for two governors, Washington's Booth Gardner and Texas' Ann Richards, and he worked as a consultant on the economic-development strategic plan for Texas when George W. Bush was that state's governor.
Furthermore, his data is compelling. A slide he showed the commissioners tracked the decrease of manufacturing as a percentage of all jobs in North Carolina from 26 percent to 11 percent over the two decades ending in 2011, while national data for 1970 through 2009 show manufacturing jobs declining from 26 percent to 9 percent. In both sets, the trend line is basically straight with no apparent impact from the recent recession: Manufacturing jobs were being lost before the downturn and after.
Finally, Roberts makes a strong case that the reason the jobs are leaving manufacturing is because of the same kind of technology-driven increases in productivity that reshaped agriculture. Today, crops are raised and livestock is produced by a tiny fraction of the workers who were needed a hundred years ago. Technology is producing the same sorts of changes in manufacturing, where the same or greater output is produced by ever-fewer workers.
Roberts says he usually gets pushback from elected officials on his conclusion that they should look beyond traditional manufacturing for job growth, so that's what he expected to hear in the question-and-comment period after his North Carolina presentation. But one of the first to speak was a commissioner from Transylvania County, in the mountains of western North Carolina, who pointed to the line on Roberts' slide that showed leisure and hospitality steadily increasing as a share of total employment.
The commissioner told an interesting story, about a fellow from Colorado who had been coming to Transylvania County for years because he liked to mountain-bike there. It turns out that the mountain-biker runs a very successful craft brewery in Colorado. He had been selling more and more beer east of the Mississippi, so he decided to open a second brewery in Brevard, the county seat of Transylvania County.
When I followed up, I found that the commissioner was talking about Dale Katechis, the founder of Oskar Blues Brewery. Katechis (who also has started his own bicycle company) is forthright that his passion for mountain-biking was the primary consideration for locating his new brewery in Brevard. "It's not really an epicenter of shipping or on a major thoroughfare," he said with a laugh in an interview with CNBC. "It's a place where I have come to retreat, and ... I thought if I'm going to be away from home, maybe I can bring my kids to a place where I can also get some work done and we're able to save on the cost of shipping beer to the East Coast."
Oskar Blues is one of three craft breweries recently locating in western North Carolina. Sounds like the beginning of a cluster. Success of that kind is organic, arising from the unique strengths of a particular place rather than the cookie-cutter approaches that seem to sweep like a virus through the economic-development world, where success has only counted when you did things that allowed elected officials to claim immediate job growth.
The decline of manufacturing has huge implications for economic-development policy built on government tax incentives aimed at stimulating manufacturing and on real-estate development. Public officials will have to fight harder and harder for fewer and fewer jobs. Success of the kind that is beginning to occur in western North Carolina is slow and incremental, but it is real. That commissioner from Transylvania County didn't claim to have brought the brewery to Brevard, but he glowed with pride when he told the story.

Barnes' Notes on the New Testament-Book of Philemon
Author: Albert Barnes
Format: Nook
Pages: 0
Publisher: GraceWorks Multimedia
Release Date: January 15, 2010
You are about to purchase and download the ebook version of Barnes' Notes on the New Testament- The Book of Philemon, by Albert Barnes, for your Nook or other eBook Reader Device.
Instead of downloading Barnes' Notes on the New Testament in its entirety, we have conveniently broken this monumental work into individual books. This allows you to save more free space on your Nook/other device and makes for faster searches and quicker navigation. We sincerely hope these features will enhance your studies and maximize your reading experience.
Albert Barnes (1798-1870) pastored the First Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia for a period of over thirty-five years during the middle of the nineteenth century. He was deeply involved in the social and moral issues of his day — slavery, drinking, dancing, and so on. It was during these years that there flowed from the mind and pen of Albert Barnes a veritable stream of volumes of essays, sermons, and Notes for Bible Study. The latter were prepared for the specific use of Sunday School Workers. When Barnes reached the close of his long and busy career he had provided notes on the entire New Testament as well as on several books of the Old Testament.
It is almost unbelievable that so busy a pastor could make such a large contribution to the field of religious literature. Albert Barnes himself tells us how this was made possible. He did all his writing before nine o'clock in the morning. By rising regularly between four and five o'clock he could daily spend several hours in writing without neglecting his work as pastor.
Because Barnes had a high regard for the Bible as the infallible word of God, his Notes are thoroughly Scriptural. Albert Barnes was willing to let the Bible speak for itself. That no doubt accounts for the fact that this commentary bears the approval of Bible-believing Christians everywhere.
Albert Barnes' Notes on the New Testament is an all-purpose commentary. It embodies exactly those features which are valued and appreciated by ministers and laymen alike. Among these are: (1) its verse-by-verse coverage of the Scriptural text, (2) its satisfying explanation of each verse, (3) its practical application of the teachings of Scripture to everyday life, (4) the clear and understandable language of the commentary.
Barnes' Notes is a commentary of great general usefulness. Bible students appreciate this commentary as a trustworthy guide in their study of the Bible. Ministers utilize the valuable homiletical material in each volume, in addition to the scholarly and practical commentary. Teachers use these volumes for their lesson preparation, and select them as textbooks for their students. Sunday school workers find this to be a commentary especially written for their use and therefore eminently suited to their needs. Laymen love the lucid, non-technical, practical interpretation of God's Word.
Albert Barnes' Notes on the New Testament should be on every preacher's library shelf, or in every preacher's Nook! This is a treasure trove of good Biblical scholarship and sermon material on the New Testament. While not as stimulating or controversial as many of the modern critical commentaries, Barnes' Notes on the New Testament gives us that refreshingly reverent and Biblical presentation of truths so lacking in today's books and pulpits. His writing is mellow, easy to read, not prone to unsubstantiated conjecture, reasonably thorough, and was obviously written by a person more interested in what the Bible said, not in pushing some belief. If you are growing a little tired of all those modern critical 'scholars' who attempt to deconstruct everything you thought you once believed in, then you'll find this volume a breath of fresh air - and a good reminder of how our grandfathers used to handle the Word of God in such a reverent, humble and believing manner.

One hundred firms make up AdvisorOne's 2012 Top Wealth Managers, as measured by assets under management per client, with data as of 12/31/11.
Here we present a profile of the crème de la crème of the Top Wealth Managers—those 10 firms that topped the list in in our 2012 survey.
View the list of all 280 firms in our 2012 Top Wealth Managers survey.
According to Tony Abbiati, managing director, the principals at SCS didn't work together before uniting under the new aegis. Instead, they shared something other than a common work history: a goal of "building what we eventually hope to be the best-known and most respected independent wealth management firm in the country." Abbiati concedes that it's a "lofty goal, but if you don't have that, you never get anywhere."
SCS is certainly getting somewhere, at third place on the list of top 10 wealth managers. One factor Abbiati credits is something common to many others on the list: freedom from conflict—no shared fees, no commissions. The firm makes decisions in the best interest of the clients, says Abbiati, adding, "If you asked me 10 years ago, I would have said we're still a little ahead of the curve."
Two-Pronged Approaches
Another factor, he says, is that the firm takes all parts of the business seriously. "Many firms are principally financial planning firms," he says; "their DNA is planning, and they sort of wing it on investments … [it's] not robust. Others are just the opposite—they're principally investment firms that do some financial planning because clients want it—and from day one, we said they're equally important."
SCS has an investment platform and investment people, he says, that stand on their own and that "anyone, even hedge fund managers, would be pleased" to have investing their money. It also has people who truly understand and "dig into" planning, from estate planning and taxes to insurance. "Most firms," he adds, "lean heavily toward one or the other and fake the rest." Since "some clients are really looking for holistic, integrated deep advice on investments and others want investment consultants," failing to devote resources to both would underserve one group or the other.
Another differentiation, says Abbiati, is the method of its growth. "Firms like ours have two choices" about that, he says. In the first choice, the firm's founders control the equity and even as the firm grows, the people at the top are "stingy with equity and decision-making power … We said we could do that, but the firm would only be as good as the people who started it."
The other choice is to spread the wealth, and that's what SCS does. "If we really wanted to be the best," he says, "it can't just be us; we have to be willing to share equity to recruit really good people who didn't start the firm."
And of course they're careful about who they recruit; many come via personal connections and word of mouth. Once people have joined the firm, Abbiati says, the effort doesn't end. "We've spent a lot of time trying to get the right people, and figuring out who are the right people in each division to take over" when the time comes. "We've worked really hard on grooming the right people, coaching them to take over leadership." Starting From Zero
The fact that the firm has gone from nothing to about $9 billion in ten years, says Abbiati, is an indication that SCS's approach is working. He points out that most firms get a "running start" but that for those forming SCS, they were leaving existing jobs and plunging in with no clients.
"We launched with zero," he says. No one was able to bring any clients with them at the firm's inception, thanks to noncompete clauses and previous employers "fighting hard" to keep clients from going with departing advisors.
However, the financial meltdown of 2008, despite the discomfort it brought "for everybody … with clients with money," gave SCS a boost. "As a firm," says Abbiati, "we ended up benefiting from it, because there was a lot of carnage in the period and we gained a lot of clients."
Meaningful Discovery
The meltdown brought something else, too. Abbiati recalls, "Internally, the biggest thing that changed—well, it wasn't really a change but it was meaningful—it significantly deepened the trust we had in each other." He explains: "We're a firm of people who haven't worked together for decades. We launched in 2002, and more or less from 2002 to 2007, things were fine. People weren't making mistakes; there might have been some variation on how well some equity managers did, but things were fine."
The crisis changed the status quo. "But you really get to know people through times of stress," he says. "What we realized was that we came together rather than splintered; people stepped up and worked harder, nobody hid from it, and we were really proactive and engaged, and leaning on one another to make decisions. It had meaningful, lasting effects." Now, he says, the organization is much more tightly knit because they've all been tested and found to be up to the challenge.
Still, there are things they worry about—reputation chief among them. After 10 years of hard work building a brand and a reputation, says Abbiati, the firm is moving slowly regarding opening offices outside its Boston home, lest distance prove damaging. "Once a reputation gets tarnished," he says, "it's really hard to get it back … and we all know how fragile that is."
A second concern is the macro environment, and where returns will come from in a difficult climate. Still, "We have ideas on that, and we think we execute on those ideas, but it's a tricky time to invest, so we worry about that."

Dear Linux community, today we are releasing TeamViewer 14 into the wild.
2018-10-23: TeamViewer 14.0.8346 (preview)
2018-11-21: TeamViewer 14.0.14470 (final)
2018-12-13: TeamViewer 14.1.3399
New Interface
The most obvious change you'll notice is that we're now using the same interface as on the other platforms. In the options dialog you can switch the color theme to dark mode, if you find it more pleasing. Now, this is more than just eye candy: some people will find the dark mode less exhausting for the eye. But also you'll find some tiny enhancements and improvements in the new UI. It is also the base for new features that had no place to go in the old UI.
Custom Device Information
One of those features is the new Custom Device Information, available for licensed customers. It allows you to define a set of (custom) labels for your company, and assign values to all the devices in your Computers & Contact list.
Bits & Pieces
Computer & Contacts has a new panel on the right, showing details about a contact and offering ways to interact. If available with your license, custom device information is also embedded there. Also new is the instant connect area on top op the window, allowing to connect by ID without leaving the current tab. Many dialogs have been streamlined to match the new look.
Compatibility with older distros
We updated our dependencies to Qt 5.5 and might go to 5.6 within the next year. This gives us many new options to create a good UI, and can help us to improve HighDPI suport.
On the other hand, we are aware that some of our customers are still on systems that don't sport Qt 5.5 (or 5.6). For this reason, we added a compatibility library to our repository, providing Qt for TeamViewer if you don't have it. This enables you to update from TV13 to TeamViewer 14 on Debian 8 and Ubuntu 14.04.
To revert to TV13 and control which updates to receive, have a look at these commands:
# be root apt install teamviewer=13.2.13582 teamviewer repo main stable
apt update # or, to stick to tv13 teamviewer repo tv13 # overview teamviewer help # revert to default / all updates with teamviewer repo default
apt update apt install teamviewer
2018-11-21 Update
The final release contains a few more bug fixes, including
2018-12-13 Update
Last week, TV 14.1 has been released, and now (2018-12-18) it is also available via the repository. The most important change might be a crash fix. It was long standing, but tricky to track down, as only a few people seemed to be affected. The crash occurred sporadically when starting a connection via the Computer & contacts list.
If you experience crashes, you can help us by submitting log files and crash dumps. It's easier to than you might think: Just click Help / Feedback and select attach log files.
Minor improvements include open MCO directly from the main menu (before it was only available on a button in the C&C list, which seemed to be harder to find). Also, the columns in the file transfer are now sortable. Messageboxes in Fluxbox have been fixed.
Further Reading
Linux Knowledge Base
As always, packages are available via repositories and on the TeamViewer Linux download page.
All the best,
Still no meeting option in Teamviewer for LINUX. So LINUX User with the need to attend or organize Teamviewer Meetings still need to stick to version 12.
@oliverneumann: If you miss a feature and it keeps you from updating, please let your sales representative know, or contact support. They'll keep track of the most requested features.
I was forced to upgrade to this version as I was getting warnings "Can't connect to the remote host as they have a newer version" and now I appear to have been downgraded from Business licence to Free.... What happened???
Now I can't even connect or login... How do I fix this?
I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling...
Hi djandiek,
Thank you for posting.
From your post, it sounds like you have a V13 only license.
If you have purchased a V13 perpetual license, you would need to have V13 in order to use your license.
The devices you are connecting to would also need to be on V13. Therefore please make sure that both of side are using the version you purchased.
If it is the case and you would like to use version 14, you would need to update your license to a subscription, you can contact our sales team here.
Hope this information is helpful for you.
Best regards,

Did my reply answer your question? Accept it as a solution and like the post to help others.
Remote system information is missing on the native linux client. It used to be present on the wine version.
Also 14 preview is crashing often on Kubuntu. Especially when more than one connection is established.
TV14 was automatically installed on my system. I don't need the new stuff TV14 offers and mobile connections still don't work. So the important question is: will we still get fixes for TV13? The login issue with the grayed out login screen is really super annoying.
P.S. How do I get back to TV13 and prevent auto-update to TV14?
@exactt, please keep the account login issue in this thread.
P.S. How do I get back to TV13 and prevent auto-update to TV14?
# be root apt install teamviewer=13.2.13582 teamviewer help teamviewer repo tv13 # revert to default / all updates with teamviewer repo default apt install teamviewer
See How to update TeamViewer on Linux via repository
@DanielStmThx a lot!
I will stick with 13.2.26559 though. The Ctrl-key bug is somehow equally frustrating than not being able to login...
To ensure that Teamviewr doesn't auto-update, use this command:
sudo apt-mark hold teamviewer
To undo this command (back to normal updates):
sudo apt-mark unhold teamviewer
I have the same problem..under Linux Mint Rosa 17.3, Teamviewer 13 and now 14 preview does not want or is unable to save my free user account information. In my home personal network I manage like 7 PCs mixed Linux and Windows 7 & 10. I always have to resort to reinstall at every start up of my Mint Rosa 17.3 system. I can't even click on the fields for entering the information. Can something be done to resolve this issue?
I'm running TV14 on x11 and speaking of pleasing interface, I have two issues:
first, although my launcher icon is OK (comes from my icon theme in svg), the running app's icon in my dock is different (comes from TV bin folder, TeamViewer..png)
second, the same png icon is shown when OSD notification appears; the problem with this is that it is badly scaled and on my 13" screen it is HUGE (like one fifth of my screen)
is there a way to make TV14 use system icons instead?
We've installed the Beta (this exact version) on the latest version of Mojave (macOS Mojave 10.14) and I've experienced periodically sluggish connection problems and "view updates". When you minimize a window on the remote computer for example, it "hangs" for a second. If you type, you get to see the result like 2 or 3 seconds later. Like the computer is "slow" or the connection is bad, but both are NOT the case.
When removing the Beta and installing the stable release (v13.2.14327 at this moment) all these problems are gone. The transitions on the remote computer are smooth, the typing is not delayed, ...
REALLY FRUSTRATING in the new Beta !!!
@kreatosict, thank you for your comment.
Please note that you posted in the Linux section and your issues are about the macOS version. I'd suggest post in the common forum or contact support.
My apologies, will do.
Great to see Linux supported at launch!
I had TeamViewer 12 installed previously, and now 14 preview. Things work quite flawlessly, with the exception of Alt-Tab not being forwarded to the session, but the host system instead. I think this has more to do with X11 capturing the events before TeamViewer even sees them than simply a missing feature in TeamViewer.
I'm running Ubuntu Budgie 18.04 LTS 64-bit at the moment, but the issue looks to be quite universal. I can live with it, but it would be nice not having to avoid Alt-Tab (and a few others) using a Linux as a host computer.
Oh, and Budgie 11 will be built on top of Qt instead of GTK+, and will sport Wayland instead of Xorg. Just so that things don't get too easy.
Okay, I poked my Linux around with a stick and I think I made Alt-Tab work. I'm not sure what distros can be workarounded by this, but it seems to be a Gnome/GTK+ thing. At least Ubuntu Budgie 18.04 works with it. YMMV as always.
Install dconf-editor (sudo apt install dconf-editor) and navigate to org.gnome.desktop.vm.keybindings.
Scroll down to switch-applications and switch-applications-backwards and edit them like so. The default values were ['<Super>Tab','<Alt>Tab'] and ['<Shift><Super>Tab','<Shift><Alt>Tab'] respectively, and they are shown in the dialog, too.
Pros: Alt-Tab now gets redirected to TeamViewer session as expected.
Cons: Alt-Tab doesn't work in Linux at all after the change, but Windows-Tab (uh, I mean, Super-Tab) works at the same time, and it feels actually quite convenient. (I didn't actually know that combo existed!)
Possibilities: I think this can easily be scripted, so that first the key combo gets disabled, then TeamViewer starts, and when TeamViewer quits, the change gets reverted automatically.
Threats: Accidentally causing unwanted changes and/or rendering Gnome unusable by messing around too much in dconf-settings.
Perhaps this could be automated in TeamViewer such that the key combo gets automatically disabled/enabled whenever a TeamViewer window has/doesn't have focus? I didn't have to use sudo doing this, so it really could solve Alt-Tab and all the othe keycombos at one go...
Source: [SOLVED] Disable Alt-Tab window switching in GNOME 3.10

How would I go about updateing to the preview?
We had multiple talks with your Sales Team.
My boss bought the License for Version 13 unknowingly that there is no support for meeting.
The sales team tried to push us to buy now the subscription for 14 with still no support for meeting. Considering that v14 has no real no relavent features that are of interest for our team its kind of a joke.
Even though we have License for v13 we are still stuck with for linux.
I would still really like to know how to get the preview,
TV14 final is now in the repository and I updated the article accordingly.
@Ketterer, see updated notes. However, no need for preview anymore, just update or install as always.
@beroe667, thanks for letting the sales team know how important this feature is to you. The more people demand it, the sooner it will be implemented.
@MattiViljanen, a workaround is good to have, but hopefully we can make this work by default. An application can "grab the keyboard", meaning it get's all keyboard input and not have some parts filtered out by the desktop. Stay tuned :robothappy:
@tecodrive, @exactt: Ctrl key combinations should now work better, some fixes went in the final release.
Thanks folks, the important stuff works well.
Not getting many random sign in problems either.
Is there any way to make permanant changes to default options like 'show remote cursor' or always use scales view, even if it's just a config file change?
Also all my errors and warning show up in a 1-pixel-wide box. I have to use a trick to maximise it and hit OK...
I updated to 14.0.14470 yesterday and so far nothing is more broken :)
As said in another thread, there are a lot of settings missing in Linux client, e.g. always show client cursor. Also, and this is quite frustrating, I can't access management console staight from TeamViewer window. There is no Management Console in the Connection menu. Are the any plans in catching up with missing features?
@Ctuchick, @MattiViljanen good to hear :robothappy:
Presets: If you can figure out the proper setting in Win registry, HKCU/Software/TeamViewer, then it will most likely work to put it in ~/.config/teamviewer/client.conf (close the ui before editing)
I just did that and can verify that the following works:
[int32] Remote_RemoteCursor = 1
1-pixel errors: can you give a concrete example of such a message / context? Also, what distro/desktop combo?
Management console: there actually is a link to it in the Computers & Contacts list menu, unfortunately it lacks the key functionality of loging you in... I just put both of that on our todo list.
All in all, I hope you can see we catch up, but I too wish it could be faster.
Upgraded to 14 because like someone else said can't connect to newer versions. Let 13 connect to 14, or give us an option to rollback, overwrite newer versions with older ones that work remotely. Some of my customers are in other parts of the world walking them through the uninstall and reinstall is crazy.
If I only had Linux I would be up the creek! I HATE windows but need to work with it since 14 just doesn't work on mine. I tried versions teamviewer_14.0.12762_amd64.deb & teamviewer_14.0.14470_amd64.deb. Same thing on both start the MONSTER HUGE thing, connect to one computer crash, connect to one computer I'm in! Connect to a 2nd computer crash start over. :(
I liked the THIN look of 13 I don't need all the extra waste of space. The only thing I wanted was tabbed windows. :( instead we got some HUGE GUI I do NOT like that doesn't work. :(

Liking the update, but...
Where is the possibility to get Computers & Contacts in a separate window???
Running Debian 9 TV14...
Still no reply on the constant random crashing?
So annoying seems to be every year, renew, upgrade, nothing works for 6 to 9 months, starts working great time for the new version. :(
Linux worked great then 14 added nothing I wanted and crashes on random connections. So I guess just like last year. Pay TeamViewer, use the free one that works. :(

I use TeamViewer 14.0.14470 on LinuxMint 18.3.
On my tablet, a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro with Android 5, latest version of QuickSupport
On my phone, OnePlus 3T, Android 7, also latest version of QuickSupport.
When I enter PartnerID in TV on Mint and I confirm connection on phone/tablet it says connected, but not window is being opened.
Trying the same from a Windows PC, everything is working.
Trying the same with TV 13, all is working as expected.
Where's the problem? Any hint for me?
It would be really great if there was an update that let 13 connect to 14 until 14 is fixed. I can work fine on one computer if it doesn't crash when connecting. Some times even two or three then CRASH and start over! The crash gives no error nothing TV just closes. I have purged it a few times, tried to make Win version run in wine, un-installed, clean install, un-install, install 13 and upgrade to 14. With all the same results updated everything on Linux to the newest versions... Still up to 40 ramdom crashes before I give up and go to Winblows.
It's super annoying using TV in VM Windows on Linux. :( I normally work on 4 to 20 computers at the same time which is impossible now unless I use VM or just log into Winblows 10.
I really think that should be #1 on the list ALWAYS make the old version work on the new one. Not all of them but at least one version back until the newest version works. 12 to 13, 13 to 14 that way we can keep working while you guys fix the problems. Without dual boot and VM I would be up a creek right now.
The signin to my account works now in 14..014470 on Ubuntu 18.04.
I rolled back to Ubuntu/Xubuntu 16.0.4 and upgraded 13 to 14 newest version and only had one crash last night. And it even gave me an error report which I submitted.
So what seemed to fix all my problems in TeamViewer 14 was not using Xubuntu 18.0.4. I will do an image back-up of the working version of Xubuntu 16.0.4. Then upgrade to 18.0.4 and see if the random crashing comes back. I will post the results after the upgrade if it's crash city again I will just stick with 16.0.4.
Well it's better but still not right. :(
Now that I have all the updates installed on 16.0.4 it's crashing more and more and after about 6 crashes TV won't start until I restart the computer.
Please FIX 14! The Linux version is a joke!
Added all the things most of us DID NOT WANT, made it HUGE and annoying and it's not stable! I have spent so many hours, rolling back to Xubuntu/Ubuntu 16.0.4 LTS, upgrading to 18.0.4, clean install of 16.0.4, clean install of 18.0.4. With all the same results works great until I do updates as soon as I update either 16 or 18 it just crashes OVER & OVER & OVER!!!
Then I start stupid winblows in VM and do my work in VM! The main reason I liked this software is for Linux, linux is my primary OS.
I'm not willing to waste anymore of my time trying to make the POS 14 work! 13 was fine it only needed tabbed browsing then you added all this garbage, made it HUGE and a waste of screen space and 98% of the time NOT STABLE!
Linux version is limited feature-wise and not yet ready for production use. The biggest issue are that service queue can't be processed, and Alt-Tab and Windows keys don't get redirected to session properly. Two more minor ones are that there is no way to start Management Console from the UI, and there are a lot of settings missing (especially in the advanced section).
If you advertise the Linux support, the software should live up to it.
I just installed TeamViewer 14.1.3399, and here are my quick comments on it:
On the positive side:
I really get the feeling I am only complaining all the time. The truth is that I can do practically all tasks with my Linux setup, too, with not at all too serious caveats. I still couldn't recommend the Linux variant to a non-technical person, but hey, I guess everyone using TeamViewer at this side of help desk are technical personnell after all :)
Great work! Let the change log grow long!
I didn't even try 14.1 I gave up and I'm uninstalling 14 on all my customers computers reinstalling 13.2. Since there is no way to do this remotely I'm using DWAGENT which has zero problems in Linux and 100% free.
I don't know if everyone else only connects to one computer at a time? But 14 just does not work on Xubuntu 16.0.4 or 18.04 clean install or upgrade. I can connect until I install any updates after updates it just crashes over & over on any over one computer.
Connect to one all good maybe a second one or crash on the second or third connection. I normally connect to 10 plus computers at one time. And yes I have the paid version.
@beast-usa There are crash-related fixes in 14.1.3399, so please at least test it on your setup to see if anything has changed. I have update to it and, so far, I haven't found anything gone backwards.
Just wanted to let you know that TV 14.1 available. I updated / enhanced the article above.
@MattiViljanen, basically you nailed it :) And yes, the "properties" should not be there for service queue. I was made aware of it a few days ago, but too late for this release. MCO link was already available in the C&C tab, but maybe not obvious enough. I hope we can get the keyboard-forwarding (Alt-Tab) in the coming months.
@beast-usa, if you think the UI is huge - did you discover you can resize it and even have a slim portrait mode? (@DialectKBA might also find that interesting)
I understand that crashes are frustrating. It should be gone now. The thing is, some people complained here about instabilites, but I did not receive crash dumps we could investigate. The crash when starting a connection from C&C could only be fixed because one colleague here observed it and I could reproduce it. If you observe crashes, please use Help / Feedback to send us the crash data. That time is likely better invested than trying to work around a bug in the code. Crashes have high priority for us, but we can only fix them if we have useful bugreports with crash dumps.
Same for @Moogwi, if you still have issues.
One more thing @beast-usa. Agreed, TV13 was very disruptive on Linux. I think TV14 much less so (with the exception of that crash that hopefully is now fixed for you). In the upcoming months you might notice that we are transitioning away from yearly big releases to smaller increments. Especially the next few months will bring few changes, but improve quality.
So, if there are still crashes and other major glitches (not missing features), please let us know soon.
@Enkidu: Connecting to mobile (Android, iOS) is currently not implemented in the native TeamViewer for Linux (TV13, TV14). It was in TV12, which was Wine based. To learn more about this transition, have a look at the previous announcements linked in above article.
@Ctuchick: Fluxbox issue should be fixed.
@swissbuechi: glad to hear :robothappy:
14.1.3399 - 0x0 pixel dialogs are fixed
Thanks mate
After I rolled back about 60 computers :( 14.1 is out. I did try 14.1 to 13.2 and it isn't crashing yet. I'm not upgrading any of the 13.2's until I know it's working 100% it's just to hard to login with something else, uninstall & reinstall.
I have dragged it to as small as it will drag still almost twice as wide as 13.2 :( What and where do I find "Portrait Mode"? Is that just the list of computers like before? Stability is my main concern and the only feature I want is tabbed windows since I work on groups at a time.
@beast-usa, if you make it tall, you can drag it half-width.
Tabbed session windows, I suppose? I can not promise them for the near future, as we have other features missing that are asked for more often.
Yep I already do that stretch it full height of one of my 40 inch screens. Then drag it as small as it will go still twice as wide as 13. :( I guess most people are not working on more then one at a time. That's when tabbed is great I almost never work on less 4 at a time. Once in awhile I do get the one at a time. No rush on tabbed but it was the only feature I wanted all the rest of this stuff I never use. I guess it's because I work on so many at once most of the features mean nothing to me. Stability on multiple systems is #1. Upload speed would be #2 but I have been adding what I upload to my website then using their browser to download. Well a browser I add Slimjet "Turbo Download". I try your upload, restart it twice one time it's super fast next time (same computer) it's super slow. Then I just down load the stuff not a big deal.
Thank you SO MUCH for the fix in 14.1!
@beast-usa, that sounds wrong to me. If you make it tall, you should be able to drag to as slim as 400px, which is definitely less than ever before. "Control Remote Computer" is then placed below "Allow Remote Control". Maybe what you're seeing is a HiDPI issue? If you want to discuss that further, please open a new topic and maybe add a screenshot.
@MattiViljanen, sad to hear that. When was the last time you actually tried? Our performance team really put a lot of effort in making file transfer speeds fast. If the speed is way below the theoretical max, there are (to my knowledge) two main reasons: 1) switching to UDP failed. TeamViewer always attempts to switch to a UDP connection, which will be fast. In fallback mode, speeds are much lower. That is why you might see dramatic differences between two connections. 2) you have a IPv6-only connection. It's a variation of the above, because in this case it will currently never be UDP, but this is currently being worked on.
If you have a well-defined test case between two locations where you observe that switching to UDP often fails, you might contact support and request it to be investigated.
@DanielStm I tried the transfer speed at some point after version 14 was out (that was from my Windows 10 to a Windows Server 2012 R2 I think). The speed is not that bad, it can reach a few megabytes per second, but if the limit is 10MB/s on both ends, it never gets maxed out. Then we just throw the file to a local server and use SFTP to get it fast. Our firewall is quite proactive and nosey, so that may have something to do with it. 1-2MB/s is okay really, but when there are gigabytes to transfer, every bit counts (pun intended). Due to our firewall I don't think we can be used as a significant test case really, but I'll test the transfer speeds the next time I have a chance. Thanks!

After Felix's exit, Yanks pounce on Mariners
Cano keys seventh-inning rally with double; Sabathia fans 10
NEW YORK -- The Yankees are deeper than they were on Monday, and they haven't lost any of their trademark resilience. New York welcomed Curtis Granderson back to the fold against Seattle on Tuesday, and then it employed a patient wait-and-see approach against Felix Hernandez.
The Yankees couldn't solve Seattle's ace -- a common cause celebre among American League teams -- but they took advantage of his early exit. Hernandez left with a two-run lead after six innings, and the Yankees used a key seventh-inning rally to earn a 4-3 victory over the Mariners.
Granderson went hitless in the victory, his first game after starting the season on the disabled list. The Yankees are still without injured regulars Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez and Mark Teixeira, but manager Joe Girardi loves the way that his team has met the challenge.
"I still think we have a lot of really good players," said Girardi. "Maybe not the names of the guys we're used to having here, but guys that have had big years. This group has worked really hard. As a manager and as a coaching staff, we appreciate what they're doing. We've also got to applaud them because they're playing extremely well. It seems to be a different guy every night finding a way to get it done for us. It's been a good month and a half, but we know we have a long way to go."
That philosophy will serve the Yankees (25-14) well in the turbulent AL East, and it even worked against Hernandez. Robinson Cano came through with the game's big hit, a two-run double to the gap in right-center field, and he later scored the go-ahead run on a sacrifice fly by Lyle Overbay.
"We were kind of battling," Overbay said of the Yankees' struggles against Hernandez. "His changeup is so late-breaking and it looks like his fastball. He doesn't make too many mistakes. I think we fouled [some] off and had a couple of good at-bats to get him deep into the pitch count. Some days, it's like, 'Let's see if we can get to the bullpen.'"
The Mariners, prior to that reversal of fortune, had owned the game's momentum. Seattle used an error and a Kyle Seager double to score the game's first run in the third inning. Three innings later, Raul Ibanez drilled a two-run homer down the right-field line to give Seattle (18-21) a three-run lead.
"He made a mistake to Raul," Girardi said of starter CC Sabathia. "We got pretty accustomed to seeing [that] when you make a mistake to Raul, a lot of the time, he hits it out of the ballpark."
And with the way Hernandez had been pitching, that drive appeared to be enough. Hernandez came into Tuesday's game with a 4-0 record and a 0.71 ERA in his last five starts. And even after Tuesday's no-decision, the right-hander is 4-1 with a 1.18 ERA in his career at the new Yankee Stadium.
"We had some chances off [Hernandez], but he basically did what he usually does," Girardi said of Seattle's ace. "He gets people out when they get on [base]. He even gets better."
On this night, Hernandez didn't get to finish the job because he was hobbled. The right-hander was involved in a bizarre obstruction play at first base in the fourth inning -- a collision with Overbay that turned a force play into an error on the pitcher. Overbay was originally ruled out on the play, but the umpires converged and collectively decided that Hernandez had blocked the runner's path to the base.
"On the type of play like this, which was a ground ball, it doesn't matter if the runner is 89 feet away when he gets obstructed or if he's one inch away," said third-base umpire Hunter Wendelstedt to a pool reporter. "If he is obstructed before first base, the ball is dead and he is awarded first base."
Hernandez overcame the collision and the call but tweaked his back in the sixth inning, and the Mariners chose to end his night at 97 pitches rather than risk further injury.
"It's the Yankees; you've got to fight every inning," Hernandez said of his no-decision. "I was trying to put zeros up there because CC is going to throw a good game. It was kind of tough, but I just made good pitches after that. I felt good, felt strong. Just hard luck for us."
Sabathia struck out 10 and allowed three runs (two earned) on 10 hits over 6 1/3 innings for the Yankees, and he helped keep the game close enough for the offense. Sabathia allowed both the Seager double and the Ibanez homer, and prior to Tuesday night, he had held lefties to a .166 average (5-for-30) with no extra-base hits.
"I just wanted to try to minimize the damage and make sure I keep the game close enough where we can have a chance to win," Sabathia said of his no-decision. "My offspeed pitches were working when I needed them in some counts and early in the game. My changeup wasn't as good and my cutter wasn't as good, but I was still able to go to it to get some outs later in the game."
Rookie reliever Yoervis Medina started the seventh and gave up a leadoff hit to Chris Nelson, and he also advanced the runner on a wild pitch before striking out Austin Romine. Charlie Furbush relieved Medina and walked Brett Gardner before Cano tied the game with his double.
David Robertson avoided trouble with a scoreless eighth inning, and closer extraordinaire Mariano Rivera recorded his 16th save in as many chances with a clean ninth. New York's relievers haven't allowed a run over their last nine games, and they made sure the comeback counted on Tuesday.
"I think winning those games is really important," said Girardi. "Because those games can have a real effect once you start losing them. Our bullpen has done a great job for us this year. We've had a lot of close games. Mo has 16 saves already. I mean, that's quite a pace that he's on.
"But those games are extremely important. The ones that you're ahead, you need to win. That's the bottom line. If you want to play in the month of October, you have to win those games."
Overbay has five go-ahead RBIs this season -- tied with Vernon Wells and one behind Travis Hafner for the team lead -- and has quickly emerged as a talisman for the shorthanded Yankees. The more times he comes up to the plate, said Girardi, the more the Yankees believe in him.
"It's a lot different," Girardi said of the team's perception. "He's had so many big hits and RBIs for us. He got us on the board and then he got the game-winner. He's been really good wherever we play him. We've managed to play him almost every day. I feel good about him when he's at the plate."

Can authors apply for funding from the Books Council of Wales?Authors benefit, directly or indirectly, from most of the Books Council of Wales' grant schemes. However, the Council's primary function is to promote the publishing sector and book trade in Wales: applications, therefore, may only be submitted by publishers. For information about grants (including time-buying bursaries) and other support for which writers may apply directly, contact Literature Wales.
How can I get an opinion on my work?
Critiques are available, for a small fee, through Literature Wales's Critical Service (http://www.literaturewales.org/home) and, for a higher fee, through www.writersservices.com
Where can I get advice about finding a publisher and submitting my work?
Some of the main publishers in Wales are listed on the Welsh Book Trade Information website. The kinds of material they publish can be found by searching on www.gwales.com (on-line bookshop), as well as by visiting individual publishers' websites. These often give specific advice on how unsolicited typescripts or proposals, should be submitted. Useful advice can also be found on the Literature Wales website and in The Writers' Handbook (Macmillan, London: annual). The internet provides a bewildering range of services and sources of information. Jane Dorner's The Internet: A Writer's Guide (A&C Black, London: 2nd edition) identifies the more useful of these. www.writersservices.com is amongst the most comprehensive sources of free information and advice for new writers and published authors alike.
Can I apply for funding to publish my own work?The Books Council of Wales works to develop a strong, diverse and professional publishing sector in Wales. For this reason, it only supports publishers who have established lists, or have viable plans to develop such lists, and have the resources effectively to promote their output. Funding is not available, therefore, to individuals who wish only or primarily to publish their own work. Nor is it available to printers who are commissioned by the author.
A publisher has asked me to contribute to the cost of printing my book. Can the Books Council of Wales help?Most publishers in the UK who habitually request contributions from their authors are considered to be 'vanity publishers'. Writers' organisations advise that few, if any, of these companies offer value for money and do little to promote and distribute work published. Further information is available from www.vanitypublishing.info , www.societyofauthors.org/vanity, The Writers' and Artists' Yearbook (A&C Black, London: annual) and The Writers' Handbook (Macmillan, London: annual). It should be added that there are some more legitimate publishers and imprints (e.g. Y Lolfa's imprint, 'Dinas') which accept contributions from their authors towards the cost of publishing special titles which cannot be funded by other means. The Books Council of Wales cannot award a grant to any publisher for a work which has been subsidised by its author, nor can it help authors who are asked to contribute to publishing costs.

Phantom Ball, With Video – And Monty (Updated)
In Spring Training of 2011 I wrote of the lost joy of pre-game "infield practice," in which a team's manager or coaches hit grounders and flies to their position players while barking out game situations. Then-manager Jim Riggleman of the Nationals had reintroduced the ritual (and gotten chastised by confused groundskeepers at Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, who told him he was screwing up their field).
I'm not talking about shortstops standing behind screens at first base nor pitchers shagging fly balls during batting practice. This was one or two catchers, all the starting infielders and outfielders, and many of the reserves, on the field, twenty minutes before first pitch, chasing everything from pop-ups behind third to long drives into the right field corner. It was a mini-spring training.
Teams used to do this before almost every game. Earl Weaver thought it was the most important thing his club did, next to hitting three-run homers. And when done well, it achieved nearly the qualities of ballet. It gradually faded from the scene because some managers were concerned it gave away too much real-time information on the health of fielders and particularly the game-day strength of outfielders' arms, and the players happily used this as an excuse to go and hide in the dugout the moment BP ends.
So imagine my joy when my old friend Robin Ventura came into Yankee Stadium for the first time as a manager last night, and at about 6:20 his Chicago White Sox were doing this under the guidance of another old friend, third base coach Joe McEwing (number 47), with back-up catcher Tyler Flowers to his left, and bullpen catcher Mark Salas.Before the joy of watching his team "take infield," I had already had a long conversation with Ventura, who was probably the champion of dry-witted baseball figures during his time as a player. He was the one who spread the story that when Rickey Henderson joined the Mets in 1999, he asked first baseman John Olerud why he wore a helmet in the field (Olerud had suffered a brain aneurysm in college and benefited from the limited plastic protection). Ventura quoted Rickey as saying "A guy I played with in Toronto did that too." The guy, of course, was the self-same John Olerud, with whom Henderson had been teammates six years before.
Henderson was many things, but he did not have a bad memory about players. The story was entirely apocryphal, but Ventura sold it so well that for years it was treated as gospel. And everybody kept Robin's name out of it. When somebody finally confronted him about it he simply smiled. This was exactly the insurrectionist attitude that I thought would serve Ventura so well as a manager. When I reminded him of that he deadpanned "Yeah, but every day the writers still ask me if I'm afraid I'm going to lose control of the club."
I took this long side trip into the persona of Robin Ventura for a reason. Take another look at that picture of the White Sox. I'll ask you what Sox co-owner Eddie Einhorn asked me as I marveled that his club was actually taking infield: "Do you notice if anything's missing?"
There's no baseball.
They were taking infield practice, for ten minutes or more, without any baseballs. It took me at least two minutes to even notice it, and another two to convince myself either my vision or my circulation hadn't gone bad. No baseball. They were pantomiming it.
I shot a brief video:
At one point catcher Flowers came running right at me in pursuit of an imaginary foul ball. I thanked him for making sure it didn't hit me.
Eddie Einhorn said his club calls it "Phantom Ball." In the Negro Leagues in the '30s, the teams used to entertain fans pre-game with a high speed version that including leaping catches and plays at the plate, which they called "Shadow Ball." Under whatever name, it was a joy to behold, and the Sox insist it's terrific for honing instincts and reducing the risk of injury because there's no ball in use.
As I left the field Ventura asked me how I liked it and insisted it was Joe McEwing's idea. "See?," he added, still deadpan. "There's a reason they keep asking me if I'm going to lose control of the club. I can't even get them to use a baseball."
Ventura might just win that division.
Update, 9:45 PM EDT: Ben Walker of the Associated Press, who loves "Infield" as much as I do, sent me an email mentioning that he asked Ventura and McEwing about this tonight and the skipper said they did this at least once under the guidance of coach Cookie Rojas when they were with the Mets – that would date to the 2000 season. This reminded me that Ventura told me last night "Every once in awhile we go all Cookie Rojas out there."
He sure as shootin' will if the Sox keep doing stuff like this. Three hours after Phantom Ball ended, Dayan Viciedo tore into a David Robertson pitch and all of a sudden a nice safe 3-1 Yankees' ninth inning lead was a White Sox 4-3 victory.
Not long after, an ESPN researcher tweeted that it had been a long time since that had happened to the Yankees: that the last time a visiting team trailing by two or more went ahead on a home run in the 9th had been in 1972, when Bob Montgomery did it to them.
And a distant bell went off in my head.
I was at that game too, and boy was I cheesed off.
The Yankees trailed the third-place Red Sox by just a game-and-a-half when they met for a twi-night doubleheader at Yankee Stadium on July 28, 1972, on day two of a five-game series that would probably decide which one of them might still challenge for the AL East Division crown. As an aside, for those of you who think the rivalry was always like it is now, the attendance for two Yankee-Sox games that night was 20,129.
I was one of them, and I happily watched my favorite, Mel Stottlemyre, hold the Sox to three hits and two runs until the ninth. The Yanks were up 5-2 when Stott got wild and walked Reggie Smith and Rico Petrocelli. Manager Ralph Houk brought in relief ace Sparky Lyle, and I got worried because Lyle had recorded his 20th save the night before, but had pitched 2-1/3 innings to do so.
Sure enough, Danny Cater (whom the Yankees had astutely traded to Boston for Lyle in one of the worst one-for-one trades in baseball history) singled to drive in a run and cut it to 5-3. Shortstop John Kennedy worked the count full but then struck out. This brought up Bob Montgomery, Boston's third string catcher who had, to that point in the 1972 season, hit exactly no home runs and driven in exactly two. In fact, in the middle of his third big league season Montgomery had hit exactly three career homers (he would go on to a long career as a Boston back-up, be the last man to regularly bat without a batting helmet, and then become a beloved color commentator on the Red Sox tv broadcasts).
Montgomery promptly put Lyle's pitch into the right field seats and, just like last night, a two-run Yankee lead had become a one-run visitor's victory.
I was not happy. And this is not memory speaking. It took me five minutes to find my scorecard. The blasphemies directed at Manager Houk ("Lyle? 2 Days in a row…You are a fool!") will not be illustrated here. The scorecard will:40 years is a long time between any two similar events.
Just how long is underscored by what's on the page behind that scorecard. It lists the names and numbers of the pitchers of the American League teams. For the future 1972 World Champion Oakland A's, there are only nine pitchers listed.
For those interested in the other stuff I'll be appearing as a guest Sunday morning on ABC's This Week With George Stephanopoulos.

"relief ace Sparky Lyle…had recorded his 20th save the night before, but had pitched 2-1/3 innings to do so."
It's like a transmission from the prehistoric, that line. How often does a closer go two and a third? When was the last time a closer averaged just shy of two innings a
game across a season? When was the last time a closer didn't get his 20th save until that late in the season?
Not since 1972? That's unbelievable. I had to look up Kubel's grand slam off Mariano but that was in the 8th with the Twins trailing either 3-1 or 3-2 (I think Mo walked in a run just before that– unbelievable too). I'd watch Keith on Sunday but there might be some Republicans on there– the Mouse Ears Network would require that. Anyway, I hope the Yankees beat Obama's team!
Good to hear your voice on the clip. Looking forward to seeing you as well.
Oh how I loved hearing your voice on the video. You're getting quite talented with the new tech toy. I enjoyed reading about the 'phantom baseball' warm up. It takes imagination and I imagine it's a whole lot of fun. The score card got me confused. I used to know what all that means scoring for my softball league. You have so many moments to remember and archives to prove it! Looking forward to seeing you on This_Week_ABC this Sunday. LyK
I was wondering whether your account of the '72 game was all from memory. I thought "If so, he's more than a baseball fan, he's the freakin' Rain Man." Whew. But it took you only FIVE MINUTES to search through your collection of memorabilia (at least the stuff not locked up in storage somewhere) and find that scorecard? My hat is off to you for your organization. And even at 13, you kept a NEAT scorecard.
The "phantom baseball" clip is very cool. Looking forward to seeing you on TV Sunday!
Great piece, Keith! I love the addition of the video! Wow! And I am thrilled Youklis is now with the White Sox, even though he was my favorite Red Sox player! (I said he just changed his Sox.) He seems a better fit there. And Truly, he is a dang genius! I am always amazed at his ability to make connections, which defines gifted and talented. Also, I am thrilled about watching THIS WEEK tomorrow morning! What a treat! All the fans will be up early! Thanks, Mr. O! You are the best!
You were terrific this morning. I wish we could hear your voice five days a week, again.
Keith, they still practice real infield at Larks Park in Hays, Kansas. The Larks are a summer collegiate wooden bat team that has featured stars like Albert Pujols, Lance Berkman, and Jack Wilson. When they go out for infield, it reminds me of the old Terry Cashman song, "Baseball in Ballet." Come out my way, Keith. I'll buy you a $2.50 Larksburger and a cold beer in a can and you can watch some great kids readying to be major leaguers.
You are right about infield. When I was kid growing up about a mile from Ebbets Field, it cost 60 cents to sit the bleachers. And the seats were prized. You'd get in line about 10 a.m and the gates would open about 11 or 11:30 for a 1:35 game. You got a chance to watch both teams take batting practice and infield. And then, for the same 60 cents, you got to watch the game. It's never gotten any better that.
Yaz had ONE home run at the end of July.

Well Keith glad to see your not unemployed. Figured with your outrageous liberal stances you would go unemployment and blame Bush for your misfortune. Just hope you never again thing your political commentary is worth while.
Baseball is a nice game, my kids love it and my friends love it too. ,
