Tuesday Morning Lack of Headlines Headlines
2008-06-24 09:10:00 Sorry everyone, with the off day yesterday, and the Cubs doing well there is a distinct shortage of stories. Insert pun here The big news today? We didn't trade DeRosa! 3 months ago. Several trade scenarios had Roberts coming to the Cubs in exchange for various combinations of players including Sean Marshall, Jason Marquis, Kevin Hart, Ronny Cedeno, Rich Hill, Seam Gallagher, Tyler Colvin, and Felix Pie. Outfielder Eric Patterson's name also was mentioned in some reports I'm sure DeRosa LOVES reliving all these questions again. Think we ahould ask how his 8th grade dance went too? Seriously people, this is the big news today. Our Dear Old Friend And the arrival of the Orioles means the return of McPhail After a weekend listening to Ozzie talk everything McPhail says is even more boring than he indended it to be. He's looking forward to seeing people, blah blah blah, wants the Orioles to win, blah blah, hopes the Cubs do well starting Friday. &nb...
Sorry About Lack of Posts
2008-06-10 05:38:00 Updated June 18:This is one of the worst times of year for me - early June. My allergies go nuts and I'm extremely tired all the time. Bottom line is I don't feel like doing much of anything. I sleep 9-15 hours a day and I need to take stimulants (asthma medication) and drink about five cups of coffee to even make a 100-mile round trip drive. If I don't do that, I will fall asleep on the road and crash my car.I'm getting allergy shots once a week now, and it's the only thing that helps with the fatigue. I also drink quite a bit of coffee every day and I need to take multiple hits off the stimulant asthma inhaler just to make through the evening without nodding off.This is a really bad time of year for the pollens, especially in the Sierra foothills, where I am at the moment house-sitting at my parents' house (I live 33 miles away in the Valley) for my 86-yr-old father (he can't be left alone) while my mother and sister are visiting my aunt in the Chicago suburbs.It's times o...

Why a Lack of Openness Sullies the Integrity of Google?s Ad Auctions
2008-06-10 00:00:00 -By Scott Cleland Does Google warrant the current exceptional leap-of-faith in the integrity of its dominant ad auction model, given its near total lack of openness, transparency, independent auditability or third party oversight? There is a growing body of evidence that Google does not. The New York Times article today by Miguel Helft, “The Human Hands ...

Sensabaugh Arrested for Lack of Sense...
2008-06-06 02:35:00 Jacksonville Safety G. Sensabaugh was arrested May 30th 2008 for reckless driving. He was caught doing wheelies on a motorcycle (he must know Kellen Winslow) and was promptly booked into the local jail. How the Jags managed to keep this quiet for over a week is beyond me. The arrest occured prior to Roger Goodell (commish) making a rule which allows teams to be fined for player misbehavior, so the Jags won't be ponying up any cash. Still, this has to play into any decision the team makes about Sensabaugh. He has now been arrested twice, once for possession of a firearm, and now this. Fool me once, shame on you... But, Fool me twice... shame on me. I doubt the Jags will tolerate this behavior, not only the arrest, but the complete neglect of his body he showed through his reckless behavior. Teams make investments in players and want to know that they'll take care of themselves and not engander their body. Sensabaugh will really have to "show-up" or he's not on...

Lack Of Full Disk Encryption Affects 32,000 Canadian Farmers
2008-06-05 07:50:00 It seems just like the other day that I opined on whether companies take to full disk encryption and other data security measures only after they?ve experienced a data breach. Now, in an act of cosmic timing, the winnipegfreepress.com is reporting that the Canadian Canola Growers Association (CCGA) is encrypting computer data after they lost a laptop with information on 32,000 Canadian farmers. The laptop was stolen on March 30, but affected people were not alerted of the fact until last week. It?s at that point that farmers who were part of the CCGA became aware that their social insurance numbers, bank account numbers, and other data may have become compromised. The delay in contacting the farmers, supposedly, was due to dealing with bureaucracy and working out the logistics of sending out so many letters. According to CCGA general manager, the laptop that was stolen featured password?protection as well as biometric fingerprinting. Unfortunate...

Lack of quality the reason for more broken bats?
2008-06-03 13:09:00 With a rash of shattered maple bats stirring safety concerns within baseball, the most prominent manufacturer said today that the problem might rest more with how the bats are made than with the wood. "I see a lack of quality," said Sam Holman, inventor of the "Sam Bat" popularized by Barry Bonds. The broken-bat crisis spurred owners and players to set a June 24 safety committee meeting. Among reforms expected to be discussed are a ban of maple bats, thickening the handles of all bats to make them less prone to breakage and extending protective netting to keep bat fragments from spinning into the stands. Holman said he has not been invited to the meeting but would welcome the chance to discuss the issue with baseball officials. Major League Baseball spokesman Pat Courtney said he expected the committee to consult with bat manufacturers before making recommendations.In April, a jagged piece of a broken bat slammed into the cheek of Pittsburgh Pirates hitting coach Don Long. Later tha...

Lack of TV ads, PS3s to 'hold back' MGS4
2008-06-03 03:00:00 With Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots due out next week, the PlayStation 3's install base and lack of TV marketing for the game may hinder sales, according to Newsweek's N'Gai Croal. "There aren't as many PlayStation 3s in the marketplace as there are Xbox 360s. That's clearly something that's going to hold it back, but I think it will sell PlayStation 3s," N'Gai Croal, General Editor at Newsweek, said. "I'm hearing some reports that the marketing for the game, that there may not in fact be TV marketing for it in the United States. If that's true, that's definitely going to hold it back..." According to Croal, Metal Gear Solid 4's mechanics makes it a better game than Assassin's Creed, but pointed out that MGS4 may fall behind in marketing. "Assassin's Creed was marketed phenomenally well," Croal said. "It had great TV spots. So they're not doing TV spots for this game, that's something that will hold it back." "I think the game is going t...

Seychelles Tax? Or Lack Of Any Taxes! Posted By : Ramapati Singhania
2008-05-26 03:30:00 Seychelles tax? The Republic of Seychelles does not levy taxes on offshore companies. Setting financial goals helps direct financial planning. Examples of financial goals are: "To retire at age 50 with a personal net worth of $800,000 American," or "To buy a house in 3 years paying a monthly mortgage servicing cost that is no more than 25% of my gross income". It is not uncommon to have several goals, some short term, and some long term. Read more about finance.

The Dangers Of Shorting Hot Oil Stocks With Absurd SEC Rules, A Lack Of Dis
2008-05-21 22:34:00 That title is just about the worst combo there is and yet I went full steam ahead, shorting 1,000 FPP five minutes after the market open into a spike I thought to be ill-fated. Nearly right away when I was down 20 cents on my position, I knew I’d screwed up. Despite my warning everyone about the dangers of shorting these rocketships before they go red and the fact that I made the exact same mistake just two days ago, I even refused to take a $150 profit, instead wanting more, almost inevitably getting squeezed for a $600 loss. I guess it’s true what they say, you can’t t each a greedy Jew new tricks. I explained my rational for breaking the very rulesI created to protect myself the other day—not that its much of an excuse—and today was no different, except FPP was double the price and I got squeezed for double, 50 cent/share as opposed to 25, too. Fitting, right? Again, I was right about the morning pullback after the spike, it just happened $1 higher than my entry! &he...

Indian B-School teachers lack basic awareness
2008-05-21 11:26:00 This may come as a shocker to you, but nearly 90% of the faculties imparting business programs at Indian B-Schools are not aware of the basic facts about the national and the global economy such as GDP growth rate numbers. If this is what is the intellectual plight of MBA teachers, think about the level of knowledge our MBA students will have. While Indian business institutes are increasingly getting popular internationally, this revelation by ASSOCHAM Business Barometer (ABB) Survey comes as a shocker ! The ASSOCHAM Study on “Faculty Awareness” surveyed 258 faculty members (except top 30 B-schools) of various institutes imparting Masters in Business Administration (MBA) across the country. Here are some of the highlights of the survey carried out by ASSOCHAM Business Barometer: As many as 89 per cent of the teachers were unable to tell the GDP growth rate scaled by the Indian economy in the financial year 2006-07. Hardly 6 per cent of the lecturers surveyed r...

Lack Of Strength = More Injuries
2008-05-08 21:48:00 Anyone who has ever been an athlete (or even just a casual game-player) knows that to avoid injury you need to increase your strength. The stronger you are, the less likely you'll be to get hurt. I learned the hard way that bicycle racing had created a major discrepancy between my quad and hamstring muscles when I dislocated my knee in April 2007. One of the main reasons I got hurt was because the front of my leg was much stronger than the back, creating an imbalance that ended with me in surgery and then on crutches for a month. Live and learn, I suppose. Another real-world example of the importance of strength training: the Colorado Avalanche. I linked to it in the previous entry about Coach Q, but Adrian Dater's recent blog post (in which he joins the chorus of "nays" on Q's future with the team) was full of interesting tidbits.
