That means, barring other moves,Arizona Cardinals jerseys, that Duchscherer is likely to be the team’s No. 1 starter, as he had been projected to be last year,San Francisco 49ers jerseys, and he’ll be followed by left-handers Dallas Braden and Brett Anderson and right-hander Travor Cahill. The fifth spot will be up for grabs between righty Vin Mazzaro and lefty Gio Gonzalez, with Josh Outman a possibility when he returns from elbow surgery after the All-Star break.

UPDATE: Crisp said on the call that he’s a big Raiders fan and that he has a lot of relatives in the East Bay, including his grandmother.

For some holiday week alternative programming, Hardball Times columnists Chris Jaffe sends along highlights of his new book, “Evaluating Baseball Managers,” which takes a sabermetric look at the game’s best-known skippers. This guy does more research than doctors recommend. Here’s what he says about a trio of A’s managers:

Connie Mack was excellent until 1933, but went on far too long. Between 1934 and his retirement at age 87 in 1950 (by far the oldest manager ever), he was dreadful. He probably didn’t even really manage his last two teams, turning over the work to his former third baseman Jimmy Dykes.

*Duchscherer is completely healthy and as I mentioned last month, he’s working out with noted trainer Brett Fischer.

From Chronicle Staff Writer Susan Slusser

There’s a lot of rumbling today about one of the players involved in the multi-team Halladay/Lee deal failing a physical and that holding things up, and speculation has centered on A’s prospect Brett Wallace and Phillies prospect Michael Taylor, but I’m told that is not the case.

Posted By: Vlae Kershner (Email) | Dec 20 at 09:05 AM

Buck said his agent heard some rumblings during the winter meetings that some other teams might have interest in him but A’s GM Billy Beane didn’t express interest in parting with him.

He thinks his speed is best utilized if he’s up near the top of the order, which could give the A’s a pretty interesting duo of basestealers, with Rajai Davis and Crisp.

The A’s just officially announced the return of two-time All-Star Justin Duchscherer and there is expected to be a conference call with him later this morning.

Oakland liked the way the young starters progressed last year, but having an established veteran will help, and Duchscherer, with his pinpoint control, is an excellent model to show that pitchers who hit corners and change speeds well can enjoy great success in the league.

Billy Martin “was the most fearless manager in baseball history.” His aggressive basestealing tactics were “insane” according to the math,San Diego Chargers jerseys, but he dramatically improved most teams he managed, including the 1980-81 A’s, for a season or two before they flamed out. He says the leader most comparable to Martin is not a baseball manager but conquistador Hernan Cortes, who burned his boats prior to taking Mexico. The act was not the important part. All that mattered was the message it sent the men: there was no going back — they needed to win. Tony La Russa is “baseball’s best manager since Joe McCarthy” (wow!). “The most striking example of La Russa’s ability to get the most out of his players occurred in Oakland, where he assembled the greatest bullpen in baseball history from 1988-90.” Jaffe’s complete analysis of La Russa can be found on Cardinal blog Viva El Birdos here.

I’m hearing that Coco Crisp was having a tough time getting from his home near Palm Springs to Phoenix for his physical because of a flight delay, so any announcement is on hold for the time being.

When I said that sounded a little like the young Jermaine Dye, Taylor said he hears that comparison a lot, and if he can have a career anything like Dye’s, he’d be thrilled.

Justin Duchscherer just conducted a very candid conference call with local reporters in which he discussed his diagnosis of clinical depression last summer; I’ll be able to delve into it more in tomorrow’s paper, but to summarize some of his comments:

To that end, Buck has been working with ex-A’s outfielder Nick Swisher and Yankees hitting coach Kevin Long. Buck has all but eliminated his famous “waggle” and he said that for the first time, he’s really incorporating his lower body into his swing. That gives him more power,Green Bay Packers jerseys, Buck said. (And that’s certainly something the A’s could use.) He’s very happy with the results.

As yesterday’s Coco Crisp signing showed, the A’s like to have a lot of depth, given their many injuries the past few years, and having extra starting pitchers is a plus, especially considering that some in that mix can work out of the bullpen, including potentially Gonzalez and Outman.

Posted By: Susan Slusser (Email) | Dec 30 at 12:19 PM

Then he added with a laugh, “I’ve always said it’s a place I’d like to eventually live - if I can afford it.”

Since the team already has three starting outfielders, it seems like this free-agent signing would set up a trade of one of them — Scott Hairston, perhaps — for a third baseman or shortstop. Under that scenario, Crisp would start in left until Michael Taylor is ready to turn opposing pitching staffs into Shredded Wheat. Or maybe Rajai Davis would be the one who goes,New York Giants jerseys, and Crisp would start in center. At any event, this signing would only work if Billy Beane has some Trix up his sleeve.

I spoke to onetime A’s right fielder Travis Buck yesterday about the most recent influx of outfielders, which presumably pushes him down the depth chart again, but Buck has a good attitude about the whole thing: He said that if he goes out and does what he’s supposed to during the spring, either the A’s will want him or someone else might.

From Chronicle Staff Writer Susan Slusser

Duchscherer’s agent,NFL Women Jerseys, Damon Lapa, said at the start of the free-agent period that the two-time All-Star was clear with teams that he wanted to be a starter, and considering the incentives package,it is safe to assume that the A’s have agreed that that will be the right-hander’s role. Duchscherer missed all of last season, first with an elbow problem and then during treatment for clinical depression.

Posted By: Susan Slusser (Email) | Dec 22 at 04:31 PM

So… is that the new plan? Run past the opposition? If Matt Holliday can’t hit the ball out at the Coliseum, no one can,Pittsburgh Steelers jerseys, so now the A’s are all speed, no power?

I asked Taylor if he can compare himself to any particular player and he responded that he’s a little unique because he’s so big (6 foot 6, 250 pounds) but he’s not strictly a power hitter; he can run,Super Bowl jerseys, too, and take the extra base, move runners over - the little stuff along with hitting the occasional homer.

It’s great to hear Duchscherer sounding upbeat and ready for a fresh start. He has clearly gained a lot of knowledge about coping with stress and emotional issues, and he said he is very happy to be returning to a spot where he feels comfortable. He loves working with catcher Kurt Suzuki and with pitching coach Curt Young, and he appreciates the A’s support and sensitivity during his tough times last summer.

*He is looking forward to mentoring the young A’s starters, both as a pitcher - he said he can show them that you can still get out big-league hitters even if you have “sub-par stuff” - and as a person. He said he didn’t feel he knew anyone going through the sorts of things he was as a young player, but after this experience of the past year, he can be a sounding board for teammates with off-the-field issues, too.

There were those rumblings today about someone in the multi-team trade failing a physical, which was discounted by my sources, and Taylor said he’d heard that report but then he got the call from the A’s soon afterward so he knew it was bogus.

*Duchscherer first realized he needed help when he was unable to board a flight from Phoenix to Triple-A Sacramento for a rehab start. He said he was “paralyzed” when he got to the airport, and he couldn’t figure out why he felt that way.

The base salary is $2 million, but Duchscherer could earn as much as $5.5 million with incentives,Oakland Raiders jerseys, should he reach benchmarks of 30 starts and 200 innings.

From Chronicle Staff Writer Susan Slusser

MLBTR is reporting the A’s are on the verge of a one-year, $5 million deal with Coco Crisp, a fine defensive outfielder who isn’t exactly Cap’n Crunch with the bat (stats).

Duchscherer is a steal at $2 million guaranteed, and even if he maxes out with incentives, at $5.5 million, he’s a bargain.

Permalink | Comment count loading…

Taylor has Type 1 diabetes, and he said he has a program that works for him, but he does have to be careful about what he eats, he tests his blood sugar and he administers insulin. There have been numerous top-tier athletes with Type 1 diabetes, and the A’s are not concerned about it, but they will be absolutely cognizant of the condition.

From Chronicle Staff Writer Susan Slusser

[Return to top]

There’s no problem with the physical itself, just getting the free-agent outfielder to it. Crisp, 30,Cleveland Browns jerseys, has had surgery on both shoulders this year but he is expected to be be completely ready for spring training. He has a pending one-year deal that is believed to be worth around $4.5 million (with an option for 2011) but he will have to pass that physical first.

More »

It’s all done, Coco Crisp is a member of the A’s; no details announced on figures, but it’s somewhere between $4-5 million with an option for 2011.

Taylor won’t have to worry about that if the projections are correct; many talent evaluators, including scouts and media analysts,Detroit Lions jerseys, say that he had the best overall season of any position player in the minors last year.

Aroldis Chapman might not be a bargain if he lands a deal approaching $20 million, but the A’s have more money to work with than many believe and it’s fun to see a lower-payroll team contend with the big dogs for a potential star.

“I figured if they were setting up this (conference call), it couldn’t be that serious,New York Jets jerseys,” he said. “A trade with this many moving parts, I figured there would be some mistruths that would come out, but I’d never heard anything from a credible source with inside information.”

I do know the A’s love Crisp’s defense, and even if speed hasn’t been a “Moneyball” kind of thing for Oakland in the past, their shift to defense a few years ago was an effort to take advantage of some market disparities. And with so many young starters and relievers, Oakland believes a strong up-the-middle defense is extra important.

If you haven’t seen it yet, this video of new A’s outfield prospect Michael Taylor completing the cycle with a monster home run is mouth-watering.

So again, from what I am hearing, there are no problematic physicals. In fact, it’s more likely that announcements will come this afternoon making this monster deal official. Wallace would be going from Oakland to Toronto and Taylor coming to the A’s from the Phillies.

Home of the San Francisco Chronicle

Lefty reliever Jay Marshall was designated for assignment in order to make room for Duchscherer on the 40-man roster. Marshall seems to wind up back in Oakland like clockwork, so even if he gets picked up by another team, he’ll be in an A’s uniform again someday, I’d bet.

*He’s now focusing on his life away from baseball more, getting more perspective on things,2009 Pro Bowl jerseys, and he’s learned that he cannot be such a perfectionist on the field,Tennessee Titans jerseys; though he’s a two-time All-Star, Duchscherer said he always dwelt on the negative, even after some of his best performances.

Michael Taylor played college baseball about 40 minutes from the Coliseum, so he said he’s excited to be coming back to the Bay Area as part of the multi-team Roy Halladay/Cliff Lee deal.

“I spent three years out there,” the former Stanford outfielder said on a just-completed conference call. “I’m very fond of the area.”

I think it could be pretty fun to watch, especially after so many years of slow, station-to-station teams. But I also think the A’s will add some power before the season starts, and I think that there’s a good chance it will be Jack Cust again. That’s my own speculation,Chicago Bears jerseys, but it seems like both sides have interest, so why not? There aren’t many 25-30 homer guys out there in Cust’s anticipated price range.

As I reported in this morning’s Chronicle,Dallas Cowboys jerseys, the A’s were optimistic about re-signing Justin Duchscherer,New Orleans Saints jerseys, and though the team might not announce the agreement until after Christmas, word from multiple sources is that a one-year deal is done pending a physical.

No matter what happens on the field, this is already a nice story, and a reminder that baseball players are people first, athletes second. They have the same problems everyone else does, but they sometimes have to play them out in public, which can’t be easy. Here’s to a fine season for Justin Duchscherer.

This is an era when many businesses are going green, and my theory is that with huge guys Chris Carter and Taylor,Washington Redskins jerseys, Billy Beane has decided to see if he can recreate the Bash Brothers with no chemical enhancements.

The likely hold-up: the teams are awaiting approval on some of the cash elements of the deal.

**UPDATED** The A’s are now announcing that they have acquired Taylor.**

&copy,Baltimore Ravens jerseys; 2009 Hearst Communications Inc.

Crisp definitely fits that mold, but does shortstop Cliff Pennington? Is that an area the A’s need to upgrade defensively or was he adequate there last year as a rookie?

When I asked if he believes he’s major-league ready, Taylor said that most players would like to think that, but he’ll have to prove it when given the opportunity. From what I’m hearing,Jacksonville Jaguars jerseys, he will get every opportunity during the spring, so I’m sure he will be one of the most central stories in Phoenix in two months.

J. Michael Jakes had one helluva day being slammed with well-deserved shots from Supreme Court Justices in oral arguments Monday. Jakes represents Bernard Bilski in his quest for a patent on a ridiculously vague claim for managing risk. On the government’s side, Deputy Solicitor General Malcolm L. Stewart’s position was stiff as a board in supporting the CAFC’s rigid machine-or-transformation test for patentable methods. But that was not entirely a bad thing.

Source Search Technologies (SST) sued LendingTree over 5,758,328, which claims an online vending system employing request for quote (RFQ) posting to select potential vendors, to which the vendors respond. "The ‘328 patent claims to solve the “too much” or “too little” information problem commonly associated with running searches over a network or system." The asserted claims were found infringed but obvious,Super Bowl jerseys, thus invalid,New York Giants jerseys, in summary judgment. The appeal,Kensas City Chiefs jerseys, narrowed to a single claim (14), let the CAFC panel reiterate its caution to district courts: be not hasty in granting summary judgment if the scent of "genuine issues of material fact" is in the air.

CAFC Chief Judge Paul R. Michel, now 68, is retiring when the cherry blossoms next bloom in the nation’s capitol. Having written 800 opinions, he is considering starting his own IP think tank. "Once I’m a retired judge, I can make a public nuisance out of myself. I think that’s needed." Certainly the politicians threatening to trample this country’s patent system could benefit from the wisdom on offer.

Experts are the litigation equivalent of hired guns. They are only as good as the guidance given by the attorneys providing their payday on what bullets to shoot where. A case in point is Intellectual Science and Technology v. Sony. 5,Detroit Lions jerseys,748,575,San Diego Chargers jerseys, one of five patents left standing on appeal, claims concurrent reading of computer CDs. The district court pitched the case on summary judgment for non-infringement after the plaintiff’s expert failed to convince,Tampa Bay Buccaneers, as his declaration was &quot,nfl jerseys;merely conclusory." The appeals court gave a lesson in how an expert ought to spurt.

i4i sued Microsoft for a pissant feature in Word: editing custom XML. But to i4i’s business, the feature was puissant. A seven-day trial found Microsoft willfully infringing a valid patent, with a jury award of $200 million. &quot,San Francisco 49ers jerseys;Although statutorily authorized to triple the jury’s damages award because of Microsoft’s willful infringement, the district court awarded only $40 million in additional damages. It also granted i4i’s motion for a permanent injunction." The inevitable appeal,Cincinnati Bengals jerseys, widely expected to go more Microsoft’s way than not, did not. Procedural fumbling by supposedly the best lawyers money can buy sold Microsoft short. Herein, CAFC case law heavy on burden and sufficiency, in a case practically covering the gauntlet of patent enforcement.

November 14, 2009 All Red Hat and No Cattle

Tom DiStefano got his quota-fulfilling bulk email patent, 6,631,400,Indianapolis Colts jerseys, when the PTO was still grinding out junk patents. Sued for infringement, InfoUSA snuffed the spam patent in summary judgment under obviousness after claim construction. With common sense, the CAFC licked the stamp that put that patent out of everyone else’s misery, allowing a flood of spam email to go unpatented.

Quantity over quality is expressed in the quintessential American hanker of wanting to know who’s number 1, which is the surmised measure of who is best. If there ever was a justifiable bifurcation between quantity and quality, it lies with patents. Year after year, IBM gets the most U.S. patents. What does that really mean?

In an extremely messy patent case involving claim construction (and correction), noninfringement,Atlanta Falcons jerseys, invalidity,Miami Dolphins jerseys, laches, indefiniteness,New York Jets jerseys, trade secrets, and topped with several business torts, Ultimax Cement had its quick-set concrete patents crumble by a sledgehammer summary judgment at district court, and so Ultimax sought repair at the CAFC.

The four-corners rule for contract law is straightforward. What is often not straightforward is the clarity of contracts. Thus hinges the case of Tyco Healthcare v. Ethicon Endo-Surgery. The upshot,Dallas Cowboys jerseys, in a contentious dispute over patent assignment & license,Swingwan Jerseys, was that Tyco lacked standing to sue, and so the case was dismissed without prejudice. Ethicon wanted it dismissed with prejudice.

Two films about alien relocation reveal a stark difference in maturity - of their respective creators. James Cameron created cinema’s most expensive cliché with Avatar, a juvenile cartoon sketch that won’t go down as a science fiction classic. But what will, just released on DVD,St Louis Rams jerseys, is District 9. First-time director Neill Blomkamp portrays cartoonish characters that feel real, as does the film itself. All too real - in expressing human nature, something Cameron lampoons while aiming for the same mark. The two films overlap in many ways, making it easy to observe that District 9 puts Avatar to shame where it counts.

The meeting was attended by more than 150 educators, business leaders and citizens from across the region.  Two panels provided insight from both educational leaders and regional business leaders who discussed their understanding of the need for increased synergy between businesses and schools.  They also discussed the need for incorporating leadership and team-building skills into the traditional core curriculum, as well as working to create programs that decrease the dropout rate in the region and inspire young people to be lifelong earners.&nbsp,Super Bowl jerseys; Members of the panel included representatives from Duke Energy, Hendrick Motorsports, Bank of America, Union County Schools, UNC-Charlotte, New Schools Project and Central Piedmont Community College.

Excitement is building about the launch of the JOBS Commission on Monday, October 12.  JOBS stands for Joining Our Businesses and Schools,Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and it’s a new legislative commission that will explore how to more closely link the curricula of early college high schools with business needs in the state’s economic development regions.  I’ve been traveling the state visiting early colleges and I’ve been impressed with what I’ve seen.  Last week I visited the Wake Early College Health and Sciences on the WakeMed campus in Raleigh,MLB Jerseys, and it’s a great example of a public/private partnership that works.  I think we need to see more of marriages of private sector resources with the public schools as we go forward, with the curriculum tied more tightly to workforce needs.

I had a chance to meet with teachers, students, parents and administrators about the school and the changes it has undergone. Teachers told me how the interactive teaching method used in the school,New Orleans Saints jerseys, where classrooms are filled with discussion and hands-on learning, has helped them reach students in ways they never thought possible. Students told me how they had lost interest in academics before this new approach to teaching and learning drew them back in. Parents told me about the hope that they feel for their children as they learn new skills and gain confidence.

Multiple media outlets covered the event.  Their coverage can be found at:

As lieutenant governor, it is important to me to travel the state and hear directly from North Carolinians like you. Speaking to our citizens in their communities and about their concerns helps me do a better job for you and the entire state. It gives me the opportunity to hear firsthand about the issues that matter to you.

I look forward to hearing from you.

We all know that we face difficult economic times. Too many of our families are struggling to make ends meet. That&rsquo,Jacksonville Jaguars jerseys;s why each and every day, I am focused on what I can do to move North Carolina forward – leading in the new economy, giving our children the skills and tools for the future,Denver Broncos jerseys, giving our families access to the American Dream.

Through a partnership between the Golden LEAF Foundation, North Carolina Rural Economic Development Center, and the Center for Community Self-Help, a program has been established which will provide loans to assist small businesses during difficult economic times.  Both the Golden LEAF Loan Program and the Rural Center Loan Program will be administered by Self-Help and will be able to provide roughly $27.5 million in loans to North Carolina business owners.

Over the coming months,Dallas Cowboys jerseys, we will be holding six more regional meetings across the state.  Our next meeting will be December 11th in Kannapolis at the North Carolina Research Campus.

I worked diligently with the General Assembly to have $500,000 appropriated to the Rural Center for programs to benefit small businesses and I am glad to see that it is being used in conjunction with this larger initiative.

I’m excited to announce that today,Kensas City Chiefs jerseys, Governor Perdue and I launched the North Carolina e-Learning portal.  This website provides links connecting students, parents, teachers and citizens with the numerous electronic and web-based learning opportunities offered by various educational partners across the state.&nbsp,Minnesota Vikings jerseys; Through the site students of all ages will be able to access educational curriculum outside of the traditional classroom setting.  The site is certainly a dramatic step forward for education in North Carolina, and as chair of the e-Learning Commission, I hope to continue to grow the educational opportunities provided to all North Carolinians through the utilization of technology.

I am pleased to announce that on December 11th, the JOBS Commission held its second regional meeting in the Charlotte economic development region on the North Carolina Research Campus in Kannapolis.  It was a wonderful experience to hold the meeting on the Research Campus because it serves as an innovative center for growth in the biotechnology industry,NFL Women Jerseys, as well as a shining example of partnerships between education institutions and businesses.

Top Five Brand Winners

He may still be seeking nominations, so it’s not too late to add your most-hated overused trite phrase to his collection. My favorite (or would it be least favorite) on the list he has so far is the last one on his jargon phrase list,San Diego Chargers jerseys, namely: “the glide path of mission critical work streams.”
What? That makes me want to react like Robert DeNiro in Taxi Driver — “you talkin’ to me?”

1. Lady Gaga - She may not be the best singer in the world,New York Giants jerseys, but she has built herself into a world-class brand by being an excellent marketer. She has discovered the demand of music consumers and delivered again and again over the past year,Denver Broncos jerseys, and her profile has grown enormously.

So when my sister-in-law rushed off to Target Tuesday to get the deluxe edition,Jacksonville Jaguars jerseys, I was shocked to see such a big marketing mistake on the packaging: the Web site for the record label on the back album cover was spelled wrong! Interscopecheap is spelled out instercopecheap, which as you’ll see from the link, basically gets you nowhere.

The question over Tiger Woods isn’t just what. It’s how,Atlanta Falcons jerseys, as in how are his admitted “transgressions” and “personal failings” going to impact his own personal brand and power as celebrity spokesman.

4. Newspapers - It is sad to see traditions die,2008 Pro Bowl jerseys, but when the market changes,Pittsburgh Steelers jerseys, the market changes - and so must one’s marketing. Unfortunately, newspapers didn’t see the writing on the wall and now are facing an increasingly unworkable business model. Advertising has slumped,2009 Pro Bowl jerseys, classifieds - the traditional backbone of the balance sheet - have migrated to the Web, and readership is dropping off. The papers that will survive will be those who meet demands on the local level and make themselves indispensable,New York Jets jerseys, and the few majors which remain papers of record have a strong subscription base and manage to make the Web work for them.

Folks,New Orleans Saints jerseys, without further ado:

4. David Letterman - Despite the kind of scandal that would have destroyed another brand, Letterman emerges from 2009 as strong as ever. He proved that his brand is one for the ages and,Tampa Bay Buccaneers, while apologizing for his mistakes, didn’t make the mistake of forgetting who he was as a brand. He isn’t an icon of morality,Cleveland Browns jerseys, and his audience didn’t expect him to be so his apology reflected this. I admit I was initially wrong on this one and thought he’d be more damaged. Hats off to the king of late night television.

Top Five Brand Losers

2. American Politics - Both the Democrats and the Republicans are struggling. The Democrats are struggling because they are quickly becoming the brand that does not listen to the people. This will hurt them at the polls. The Republicans have not broken out as anything but rejectionist - the party of “no.” Until they become the party of “yes” and offer a different way forward for the country,Detroit Lions jerseys, they will remain in the wilderness.

3. Microsoft - The software behemoth continues to forget the marketing concept and rely on a build-it-and-they-will-come philosophy that puts its product first and customer needs second. Until this turns around, the company will continue to lose market share to others - especially 2009’s brand winner Apple. The Bing search engine is a positive,Miami Dolphins jerseys, but it may be a case of,Minnesota Vikings jerseys, “too little,New England Patriots jerseys, too late.”

The lesson here: no matter how big in scope your marketing task is,NFL Throwback jerseys, don’t forget to check the minute stuff. Otherwise,Swingwan Jerseys, you can make a big marketing mistake and look stupid in the process.

Anyone who’s worked with me or talked to me for any length of time knows how I detest jargon and also can’t stomach people who only speak in jargon. I tend to think of jargon as the last refuge of people who can’t put together coherent sentences using words everyone else uses.

From a marketing perspective,Super Bowl jerseys, President Obama has remained Candidate Obama for too long. But the Nobel Prize speech saw him asserting himself as a leader –not in a vague people-of-the-world way, but as an American president sworn to protect and defend the Constitution and the people of our great land first.

The Winner:

2. Apple - What can I say? This company and its head, Steve Jobs, embody everything right about marketing. They build products that everyone wants. They get the advertising right because they know their Target Market and respect it. They get the distribution right so that they can keep up with demand and adjust. They deserve their growth and should see more of it in 2010.

In fact,NFL Women Jerseys, he made the point clear (uncomfortably clear for those who want a weak America) that there was such a thing as “Just War” and that he would not hesitate to defend the interests of the United States.

Plain and simple,NBA Jerseys, that was a president talking. The result was telling. Not too many people in the room applauded, but the people who count,Seattle Seahawks jerseys, Americans,Houston Texans jerseys, even right-leaning Americans, praised this new side of the President.

Michael Jackson - His death and the subsequent global reaction reminded the world that when a brand is built on a strong foundation, it can endure a lot of damage and still remain powerful. Jackson is the definition of brand equity.

Not with that phrase you’re not (or “you ain’t,” to use the jargon of my childhood in Brooklyn).

You’d expect this thing, maybe,Kensas City Chiefs jerseys, from a tiny album on a tiny record label - but from one of the fall’s biggest releases on a subsidiary of one of the world’s largest record labels? Bad form.

5. The Nobel Prize - The Nobel Prize did great brand damage to itself this year in awarding the prize to Barack Obama, a winner who admitted that he was chosen prematurely. The decision looked political and underscored the flawed process that chooses winners. It diminished the prize and will affect the perception of it for years to come.

UPDATE (POSTED DEC. 3): I found another OneRepublic related marketing mistake people! The Web site states the band is slated to appear on The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn this Friday. Craig Kilborn hasn’t hosted the Late Late Show in five years.

Marketing News

5. Sarah Palin - Sarah Palin exits 2009 with a stronger brand than she entered the year with. Even though her book was a sales success, I believe it won’t help her brand very much. Nevertheless, she has shown that she is more than a fad, has cultivated readily identifiable brand traits and positions that are consistent,Green Bay Packers jerseys, and has loyal support among many voters. If 2010 sees her expanding beyond her base through sophisticated political commentary or a visiting professorship,NHL Jerseys, her brand will grow.

1. Citigroup - This was the biggest and most powerful bank in the world and now its stock is trading for under $4. What happened? The bank - like many others - forgot that it was in the service of preserving and growing capital. It forgot that its brand is a bank. A little more stodginess,Youth NFL jerseys, conservatism and care for its customers’ savings and financial future is needed - fast.

December 19,Tennessee Titans jerseys, 2009 Winter Storm: Be Prepared A winter storm is expected to start this evening and last well into tomorrow morning with heavy accumulation amounts, particularly in the Southeast portion of Massachusetts.  MassDOT encourages residents and drivers to avoid driving during the evening and early morning hours if possible so that MassDOT and local plowing crews have space to safely clear the road.  Use the MBTA or regional transit options if possible.

We have already begun preparations and at the height of the storm, MassDOT crews will have mobilized thousands of pieces of snow clearing equipment throughout the state.

If driving, remember that the road in front of the plow is usually in much worse condition than the roadway behind the plow. Plows will typically travel under 35 miles per hour and there is always a temptation to pass them. For safety purposes, it is recommended to stay a safe distance behind snowplows.

December 22,nfl jerseys, 2009 Fed Stimulus to Complete Quincy Concourse Governor Deval Patrick joined state and local officials in Quincy to announce the key final component of the long-awaited Quincy Center Concourse Downtown redevelopment project is moving forward with $8.1 million in federal stimulus American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds.

The Quincy Center Concourse will make improvements on Revere Road, an east-west connector road that will tie together the Quincy downtown area, long separated by a north-south rail corridor, spurring further redevelopment of downtown Quincy by separating local traffic from thru traffic.

The $8.1 million ARRA project is Phase II of the larger three-phase Quincy Concourse project and includes 1,900 feet of roadway reconstruction and realignment, along with demolition of an existing building owned by the City.  It will connect on the west side with the Phase I Paul Harold Bridge that provides motorist and pedestrian access over the rail corridor.  On the east side of the corridor,Detroit Lions jerseys, this Phase II project will connect with the final Phase of the overall project now under construction by the city.  The completed connection will improve access and is expected to attract business investment on both sides of the rail corridor.  The project is expected to be advertised in January 2010 with construction beginning in the spring.  

The RMV Quincy employees also donated to the Home for Little Wanderers and donated food for the Elizabeth Stone house.&#0160,Minnesota Vikings jerseys;

Worcester Rte 146 Rebuild Celebrated
Lieutenant Governor Tim Murray and MassDOT Secretary & CEO Jeff Mullan joined state and local officials in Worcester at St. Matthew’s Church today for the ribbon-cutting to celebrate completion of the $346 million reconstruction of Route 146 from I-290 in Worcester to Route 122A in Worcester and Millbury.

The reconstruction of four miles of Route 146 covered 13 years of construction and 10 major construction contracts awarded by the former MassHighway totaling approximately $300 million, along with the $46.5 million former Massachusetts Turnpike Authority project to build the new I-90 interchange Exit 10A.&#0160,NHL Jerseys; Even given the magnitude of the project,2009 Pro Bowl jerseys, it was completed on time and within the original budget.

The project relocated,Dallas Cowboys jerseys, widened and divided more than four miles of Route 146 from I-290 in Worcester to Route 122A in Millbury.  The project included reconstruction of the Route 146 interchange with I-290 in Worcester,San Diego Chargers jerseys, Brosnihan Square, and three new Route 146 interchanges at Route 122A, I-90/Route 20, and McKeon Road/Providence Street in Worcester.

The Route 146 project began in the 1980’s with planning, environmental permitting and preliminary design.   The first construction project began in early 1995.&#0160,Miami Dolphins jerseys; With the completion of the final part of the project, Brosnihan Square, in total the project was in construction for 13 years.  Check MassDOT Highway Division project information here.

Demolition work on the existing bridge decks is moving ahead in all bridge locations during the winter. Three traffic lanes will operate at peak hours at all times in both directions. Lane closures are limited to nights, weekends,Jacksonville Jaguars jerseys, and other off-peak hours. Construction is scheduled for completion by late 2010.

Now that we’re basically done with Firefox 3.5 we’ve formed a project team. We’re calling the project “Electrolysis”. Because we can’t do everything at once,Youth NFL jerseys, we are currently focusing on performance and stability; using a security sandbox will be implemented after the initial release. Details of the plan are available on the Mozilla wiki, but the outline is simple:

Sprint as fast as possible to get basic code working, running simple testcase plugins and content tabs in a separate process.
Fix the brokenness introduced in step one: shared networking, document navigation and link targeting, context menus and other UI functions, focus, drag and drop, and probably many other aspects of the code will need modifications. Many of these tasks can be performed in parallel by multiple people.
Profile for performance, and fix extension compatibility to the extent possible.
Ship!

Anyways, I&#8217,Chicago Bears jerseys;m sure all of this has been thought out previously and I imagine tons of performance metrics will be collected to prove me wrong so I’m probably just overly cautious. That being said, are there any plans on maintaining the current single process model once this feature is implemented? :)

nfls://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130078

Identifying troublesome sites is much easier using OS tools rather than tracking usage per-site in a single process… to do it in a single process you’d need a VM architecture which is very different from our current C++ codebase.

1) Have separate settings so I can enable per-process tabs/pages, per-process plugins, or both. IMHO it’s more important to keep plugins in their own process because they are usually the worst offenders in loading time (freezing the whole browser), stability,San Diego Chargers jerseys, security,Washington Redskins jerseys, and resource usage.
2) Keep your IPC stuff and sandboxing compatible or at least reasonably aligned with Chrome&#8217,Arizona Cardinals jerseys;s. This could make easier for plugin providers to develop next-gen plugins that are more cooperative with new browsers,Dallas Cowboys jerseys, either reducing their need of privileges or using these new IPC channels explicitly for better performance and features.
3) When this stuff is mature, talk to Sun to consider the idea of running the new Java PlugIn’s (6u10+) launcher process inside the browser’s process. This launcher is tiny and it manages new processes per-applet/application; we don’t need TWO layers of process separation,St Louis Rams jerseys, that would only increase overhead and decrease the browser&#8217,Baltimore Ravens jerseys;s ability to manage stuff. Right now this is already a problem for Chrome,Detroit Lions jerseys, if you raise its Task Manager you won&#8217,nfl jerseys;t see the actual JVM processes, only the jp2launcher process.

Regarding stability,New England Patriots jerseys, Firefox crashes on me so rarely (maybe twice this past year). Session restore works fine for recovering from this.

Maybe this will finally allow chrome to be displayed over content?

I feel like the overhead of an entire process (startup time and memory usage) would suggest that this model would actually have the opposite effect on the performance. This is probably more true on Windows than other platforms. I’m imagining an average computer user that is viewing the task manager trying to understand why their machine is running so slowly and seeing a bunch of Firefox processes running. I suppose it would be neat if there was an easy way to identity which process was driving a particular page so a user could find pages causing trouble,Cleveland Browns jerseys, but this probably wouldn’t be easy to determine from task manager. It also seems like this problem (identifying troublesome pages) could be tackled in the current architecture.

“west nile virus”: although you could achieve similar performance using threads and processes, using processes involves fewer changes to our code (because of global variables) and is necessary for the stability aspect (to protect the entire browser against crashes of one piece).

Increased stability: if a plugin or webpage tries to use all the processor, memory, or even crashes, a process can isolate that bad behavior from the rest of the browser.
Performance: By splitting work up among multiple processes, the browser can make use of multiple processor cores available on modern desktop computers and the next generation of mobile processors. The user interface can also be more responsive because it doesn’t need to block on long-running web page activities.
Security: If the operating system can run a process with lower privileges,San Francisco 49ers jerseys, the browser can isolate web pages from the rest of the computer, making it harder for attackers to infect a computer.

1. Seems like memory usage will skyrocket much like Chrome.

If you’ve emailed me volunteering to help and I haven’t gotten back to you, I apologize! Until we get the stage-one sprint done there aren’t really any self-contained tasks which can be done in parallel.

schnalle: multi-process Firefox has little or nothing to do with auth dialogs not blocking the application. That bug can be fixed independently.

For the moment we’re focusing on Windows and Linux,2009 Pro Bowl jerseys, because the team is most familiar and comfortable on these environments. I sat down with Josh Aas on Friday and we discussed some of the unknowns/difficulties faced on mac. As soon as our initial sprint produces working code we&#8217,NFL Women Jerseys;d love to have help from interested mac hackers!

Jason: startup time is only a problem if you do lots of stuff at startup. On Windows and mobile devices in particular I/O is very expensive, so we’ll need to make sure that the content rendering process doesn’t need to do much I/O. Sharing DLL memory and avoiding network and NSS initialization in the child process should avoid most of the startup issues.

jasmith: 1) let’s measure instead of making assumptions. I think we can do a lot better than Chrome 2) VM domains can’t help protect against crashes 3) Did you read the planning wiki or are you simply talking snarky for the fun of it?

kiroset: no, this project will not make bug 130078 easier at all. You’re probably thinking of the compositor project.

[...] Smedberg recently discussed the motivation for splitting Firefox into multiple process, so I won’t recap that here. [...]

For a long while now (even before Google Chrome was announced), Mozilla has been examining ways to make Firefox better by splitting the work of displaying web pages up among multiple processes. There are several possible benefits of using multiple processes:

Any comments on this? It sounds like something that would get a lot more traction if Mozilla (and other browser makers) joined Google in asking for.

We’re currently in the middle of stage one: Ben Turner and Chris Jones have borrowed the IPC message-passing and setup code from Chromium. We even have some very simple plugins loading across the process boundary! Most of the team is in Mountain View this week and we’re sprinting to see if we can implement a very basic tab in a separate process today and tomorrow.

Having the GUI in a separate process will make Firefox feel and act much more snappy. Dual core is normal, quad core is high end and 8+ threads will become the high end within 2 years. I hope that Firefox will be able to use all threads that are available and 3dcards of course.
But apart from having the GUI freeze until it is ready I haven’t had any complaints about stability of Firefox. Even the nightlies are more stable than any Chrome version I have used. I am looking forward to the snappy of Chrome.

Exciting stuff! Why the name Electrolysis?

2. Can’t you implement a construct similar to AppDomain in MS .Net that provide isolation without the overhead and cumbersome binary communication of multi-process computing. You could use code from the Mono project.

If you&#8217,Seattle Seahawks jerseys;re interested in helping, or just lurking to see what’s going on, the Electrolysis team is using the #content channel on IRC and the mozilla.dev.tech.dom newsgroup for technical discussions and progress updates. We’ll also cross-post important status updates to mozilla.dev.platform.

I appreciate the goal here,Philadelphia Eagles jerseys, improvements in the following areas: performance,Minnesota Vikings jerseys, stability,Tennessee Titans jerseys, security. However, I’m still not sold on this design. I realize that this has become the trendy new thing now that Google is doing it (yes, I know there was talk of this well before Chrome came out but it wasn’t until it was released that this really got a high priority). However,New York Giants jerseys, I feel like they had to do this initially because they were so crash happy.

Having run Chrome on my dual core CPU laptop, I don’t expect the change you’re talking about here to make Firefox faster. Chrome often works in a choppy way and doesn&#8217,New York Jets jerseys;t feel faster than FF at all. And it seems to crash more often than Firefox (loaded with extensions and having 50 to 100 open tabs).

  What we have to say. Datacenter Router Down Posted by Christopher on December 29, 2009 Dec 29, 2009 - 22:43 PST

Our datacenter (while normally providing us with excellent service) is experiencing a problem with one of their routers handling traffic in New York City. This is making any websites hosted in this datacenter very slow to load for users accessing them through that particular router. The network admins at the DC are working on the problem and hope to have it fixed very shortly.

During our recent visit to the homeland Chicago to play Noe & Fred’s Souvenir party we finally got a chance to hang with Phillip Stone. Many of you may already have this guy&#8217,MLB Jerseys;s stuff, just check your iTunes and search for “Phil Edit” or “Phil’s Dub&#8221,Youth NFL jerseys;, that’s where we first saw his name. For year&#8217,Atlanta Falcons jerseys;s Phil has built a name for himself getting his super-DJ-friendly edits of new heat and classic cuts (which he makes with Audacity!!! go figure) into the right hands. Plus with advanced mixing skill, extraordinary programing ability and a slew of high profile DJ gigs opening for the big boys in his home town, it is commonly noted that Phil Stone is Chicago’s best DJ. We’re real pumped to have his contribution to the Adventures of Soul Clap Podcast and seems very fitting to have Phil close out one hell of an amazing year! Closer was a hoserrrrrr

Another month, another silly Soul Clap interview. This time with UK based fashion/culture/music trendsetter Dazed Magazine’s digital edition. Read the whole thing here.

Jay is a kick ass DJ and solid producer with the bulk of his catalog on Munich’s Compost Records and Compost Black. Remix-wise he’s done work for Buzzin’ Fly, Four:Twenty, Dirt Crew and Faze Action to name a few. But that’s not really the point, the point is that after drinking many very tall beers and talking plenty of shit, we went back to Jay’s place (conveniently located across the street from the Neo-Nazi’s) to skin up and talk some more shit. While shit-talking, Jay put on this mix he recorded LIVE and we were like, ROCKINNNNN! So, away we go&#8230,Chicago Bears jerseys;

Big shout out again to the London/Leeds massive for being top notch hosts during our last tour and the endless musical support!

Berlin

The “RnB FreE.P.” is the first installment of Soul Clap’s free music series.? This series will showcase unreleased, but dance-floor-tested material for free download on our website.? This first release is a special thank you to our fans and supporters this holiday season. With an R ‘n B theme, the FreE.P. features reworks and remixes of famed Bostonian Bobby Brown’s late 80’s hit “Humpin Around”, fallen diva Aaliyah’s seductive “Rock The Boat” and 90’s Waco Texas based pop quintet Hi-Five’s Kissing Game all mastered by Gadi Mizrahi @ The Marcy Hotel.

The final installment of this 3 part podcast series brings us into the peak time Pop vibes of our DJ set at Emmanuel’s Party Bucket in Leeds,St Louis Rams jerseys, UK. We&#8217,Arizona Cardinals jerseys;d been gigging all weekend at this point beginning Friday night at Watergate in Berlin and then Saturday in the depths of Dalston (London), so as you can imagine the energy was through the roof sexy.

Tracklist:
Above Smoke – Downtown
Soul Clap – Wicked Game
STL – Neurotransmitting Clouds On The Secret Freeway
Maik Loewen – Soul Of A Sampler
Motor City Drum Ensemble – Raw Cuts #6 (Original Mix)
Gamutino – Feedback
Nina Kraviz – Pain In The Ass
FALSE – Fieldleft (Original Mix. Digital Only)
Just One Night – Just One Night (Theme Song)
Moodymanc – Omlette (Original Mix)
Sante – Dambalaa

2009 was without a doubt the year that Soul Clap’s edits and bootlegs got the worlds attention.? It all started with a burning passion for classic pop music followed by a newfound obsession with Ableton LIVE.? Soul Clap’s prior production techniques found them held hostage by Logic in an unbelievably slow moving world of “Core Audio Errors” and system crashes.? I mean really, WTF?? Who would have thought a $3,000 Dual Core Mac and software investment would lead to such misery? Sorry… had to vent,NHL Jerseys, where were we… right…

So a couple weeks ago we got a message from our website from someone named Leonardo Machado. He said something like “I’m 15 years old, from Venezuela and I have this mix and was hoping maybe you can podcast it”. We love our fans and the first 2 tracks were Wicked Game Edit and 3 Wheel E-Motion, so we said what the heck let’s give it a listen. Guess what, it was awesome. It&#8217,Miami Dolphins jerseys;s taken us a little while to get our act together and post the episode and he’s updated the mix a bit, but we’re just super excited to have the chance to get an awesome mix out to you from a bonafide DJ prodigy. And to you Leonardo, we say, keep up the good work!

Sure has been awhile since we posted anything about Soul Clap releases, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t been busy putting music out on both our label homes (Airdrop and Wolf + Lamb). Since we last posted about our MJ Edits EP on W+L in August, we’ve had our first all original artist EP “The Definition” released on Airdrop 12″ vinyl + digital. Then in October our second Wolf + Lamb Black 12″ vinyl release,Dallas Cowboys jerseys, the “Pop Edits” was sent out into the word. Next, mid-November our remixes of No Regular Play’s “Smiling Faces” & “Derecha” hit Beatport, with both breaking the deep house top 100 and Smiling peaking at #22. Finally, this week,NBA Jerseys, our collaboration with Le Loup, “I Want You&#8221,Washington Redskins jerseys; was featured as a digital bonus on W+L’s Significant Others Too EP. For those of you paying attention, Baker Man Edit comes out on AUX 12″ vinyl this month and we’ve got loads more instore for 2010, so stay tuned!

Somewhere along our last European tour we were in Berlin and our good friend Voitek (spelled Wojchiech, believe it our not) from 3 Channels aka Catz &#8216,Baltimore Ravens jerseys;n Dogz told us it was time to go to dinner. So to dinner we went, and when we got there we met Jay Shepheard. Jay is from the UK, but recently made the pilgrimage to Berlin along with so many others in search of dance music’s holy grail (which we think is actually somewhere in NYC!).
