Hernandez, a smooth fielder and lefty hitter who is now the Missouri starting third baseman, was featured on their web site recently as he helped spark a victory in an early 2004 season game. At the 2001 Grand Forks International Tournament, J Hern won tournament honors for his outstanding defense at third base, including several diving plays in the Angels 3-2 win over the Taiwanese Army Team.

"Eccentric"  *

After those surprising 2004 Super Bowl events, the San Francisco Angels Wood Bat Baseball Team has become greatly concerned with the team's failure to keep up with the trends. To make a bold statement about the team, we are searching for a new look. In the picture at right, Angels' catcher-shortstop Jaime Portillo, in cream makeup, models one of the designs under consideration for the team uniform.

We welcome the Fumigators now so they don't welcome us first.

Our Staff Is Hard At Work!

We're juggling the schedule for a summer of frenzied ball-playing.

We're still working on the field, but look at this! Miles and miles of flat open space without gophers or soccer tracks! The air's a little thin but we'll figure it out.

But now the Little League of north Virginia has taken over all rights on Mars. The Angels plan to appeal this land grab to The Highest Authority!

More problems on Mars!

You'd think Mars would be the place to start over and never worry again about DOS.

DOS is the microcomputer Disk Operating System invented by General William Gates over 160 years ago, when a foot infection kept him indoors while his cohort General Doubleday was organizing the first ballgame on a field near the home of General Quarters.

The plans for DOS sat in a vault next to the urn with General Gates' ashes until the 1970s, when great-great-grandson Bill Gates, a college student who had dropped out of Harvard, returned home, and was harassing relatives, dead or alive, for Jack-In-The-Box money while he spent late nights working out his frightening-but-fascinating plans for world domination by turning human beings into revenue-producing robots. The younger Gates, no slouch when it came to stealing other peoples' ideas, even if this meant grave-robbing, realized immediately that the elder Gates' extensive notes relating to the timing of information flows for teams of advance Army scouts, including the use of semaphores, flashing gun powder, smoke, and loud boot-stomping  (the origin of the word boot-up), provided the fundamentals for a microcomputer operating system better than the earlier version, CPM.  And great-great-Grandpa's notes and sketches were free and didn't require attorneys to help steal them.

The rest is history, finally. So Gates is today personally responsible for the spiritual deaths and zombie-creation of 3.4 billions of peoples on this planet, as well as countless others planets throughout the universe bound by the unbreakable bonds of Synchronicity, now a division of Microsoft.

Flash memory disk glitch nearly killed Mars Rover 26/08/2004, ExtremeTech.com

A software glitch that paralyzed the Mars "Spirit" rover earlier this year was caused by an unanticipated characteristic of a Disk Operating System (DOS) file system. On Jan. 21, Spirit stopped communicating with Earth - the rover would reboot itself over and over. After days of tests, the team finally discovered that the issue was tied to what was originally reported as corruption inside the rover's memory. The real issue was an embedded DOS file system whose directory structure kept growing and growing. When the rover's OS told the flash memory to mirror the data structure in RAM, the unexpectedly large file caused a fatal error and an almost continuous reboot cycle
