Before industrialization, people married young and lived in extended families with several generations under the same roof - or so the story goes. In parts of Europe, however, our "modern" pattern - late age at first marriage combined with nuclear family households - goes back many centuries, leading some researchers to wonder if this very pattern actually brought about the Industrial Revolution and early economic growth in the west.
Program:Many short selections by Haydn, Mendelssohn, Schubert, Cui, Nielsen, Ravel, and Ginastera - for woodwinds, strings, brass, piano and harpsichord
Program:An early Mozart string quartet, Beethoven's Op. 16 Piano Quartet, and the Piano Quintet of Shostakovich

In the intervening years, she's been busy as a nationally-known speech and voice therapist.
The San Andreas and similar faults separate two tectonic plates slowly moving in opposite directions. The faults can remain locked for many years, then catch up in sudden dramatic rupture events perceived as earthquakes. These occasional fast motions co-exist with much slower fault slips. This talk will describe how laboratory-derived friction laws and sophisticated numerical models can reproduce, in remarkable detail, all stages of past fault behavior - locked, slowly moving and earthquake-producing - bringing us closer to understanding earthquake physics.

Handling Delmon Young
Honest answers only.
1. In consideration of the state of the Twins at the time. Would you have made the trade for Delmon Young? Try to be honest with removal of hindsight.
2. Once acquired, how would you have handled him. Would he still be a Twin or gone at the first sign if trouble?
3. Do you understand Bill Smiths thinking at the time or is Bill Smith now in the Ron Davis doghouse?Last edited by Riverbrian; 06-02-2012 at 10:14 PM.
I don't think I would have made the trade. Bartlett seemed to be a possible staple at short for years and garza was looking like he would be a number 2 in a few years. I know the twins didnt like his attitude. I don't see much sense in trade away 2 positions to fill one.
In some ways, it was a great trade...first round draft pick for first round draft pick. he Twins basically got nothing for Bartlett, though. I remember fans in an uproar when Eddie Morlan was included in the deal, wanting the Twins to instead ship off Juan Rincon or no one.
Young was signed to one of those early major league contracts, so the Twins had a great idea what they were getting He was in self-made competition with Carl Crawford for glory in Tampa Bay. He was brought in essentially to replace Torii Hunter offensively.
But at that point, the Twins were glad to be rid of the ego headcase of Matt Garza. But unwilling they got an equally egotistically, arrogant, do-it-my-way Delmon Young. Young was expected to produce....280-.300 average, 20 homers, maybe 80 rbi average.
My first thought was: They Gave Delmon the Subway Commercial. But, somehow, he started to get overshadowed by the lesser talented sparkplug Carlos Gomez as the newest Twin and the Face of the outfield that year. Gomez thrilled and spilled and somehow Delmon, already having tom play #2 or #3 to the M&M boys, fumed.
Here is a guy with lots of natural raw talent. He knows it. But he doesn't.
Tampa got rid of both Garza and Bartlett. Morlan could've been re- had by the Twins numerous times when he apssed thru waivers. The Twins got some energy out of Brendan Harris, but ended up eating lots of salary. Jason Pridie played more than he should've as the second coming of Jason Tyner.
Delmon could be a superstar. I doubt that he will, though. He doesn't seem to want to listen. Strikes out too much, Seems lost in the outfield, not really in the game unless it is about him. He managed to get another big contract year out of the Tigers. He has made more money than many others his age.
I would do it again...except -- no -- I would've tried to work thru Garza and be happy having Bartlett somewhere in the infield for another season.
But he sure didn't fit into the TwinsWay picture.
And don't get me started on Carlos Gomez. The guy was fun, exciting, totally undisciplined -- like a kid in a candy store with a $20 bill and told to make it last...forever.
1. My problem with the trade at the time was they gave up the wrong pitcher, and were selling low on a shortstop the manager had criticized in the papers. They were trying to deal from their strength, starting pitching, but Garza had too much upside to let go. I can't find my Usenet post on the subject but I know I agreed with other posters who would have preferred trading, say, Slowey or Perkins (both starters at the time of course). I was bothered that Tampa was willing to give up a good-hit bad-field guy who they seemed to have decided wasn't going to fit in their long-term plans. I thought they had taken a cold hard look at their own players and were palming off a high-ceiling guy with bad flaws. I was worried that Tampa was already known for astute talent evaluation, and doing it again on both ends of this deal.
2. Once acquired, you have to try to get the most out of Young, and I don't know what management/coaching could have done differently. I would not have bailed out much sooner than they did, but the prior off-season was the last chance to gain anything of substance for him.
3. I can't let Smith off the hook. Since I don't know what scouting input he had on all the players involved, I can't pretend to know his thinking at the time, but strategically the trade seemed wrong-headed to me in multiple ways, even if well intentioned.
Let it also be noted that trading away Bartlett (and his replacement Adam Everett fizzling out) ushered in the Nick Punto Era of Overuse, at shortstop. Bad trade, for that reason alone.
I thought it was a good risk at the time. It seemed to me that Garza wouldn't fulfill his promise in Minnesota and that Bartlett was replaceable. I thought Young could develop into an elite hitter. After one year, I had seen enough of Delmon to believe he would never develop any further. I was hoping that the Twins would trade Young when he value went up, but no such luck.
I'll make this short:
1. No - The Twins were looking down the barrel of a Johan Santana trade, Liriano coming off TJ surgery. Garza was the best arm we had at the time looking towards 2008.
2. DY is a pain in the ass and a **** fielder. We finally were able to get his engines running offensively in 2010 - should have dumped him for the best we could get and keep Hardy.
3. At the time, if I remember correctly, Twins players and fans were wanting a "difference maker" type of hitter to put them over the edge of merely being able to contend. Bill Smith, wanting to make a splash as the new GM took a risk and made the trade. At the time I was wondering why the Twins didn't get BJ Upton instead of Young for the amount they gave up. Obviously it wouldn't have worked either way. Smith is a Financial numbers guy, should never have been in a GM position, but what the hell, throw him in the doghouse with R.D.
The one who messed this whole thing up was Gardenhire:
He did not Garza in his team because Garza would not listen to Andy about throwing 2 seamers and pitching to contact. That has been documented and is out there. Then Young comes and Gardy plays him in a position he never played before (LF) instead of the position he has been an above average fielder in Tampa (check out his UZR), RF. Then the Twins started to throw Young under the bus when he did not like to listen to Vavra and wanted to pull the ball. And the kid carried the Twins in his back in 2010. And nobody gives him any credit for that.
Gardy initiated that mess of a trade and he has been in my doghouse for a while...-----

In hindsight we know it was a bad trade. Garza has become a solid and sometime dominant starter. I really think it was a combo of Gardenhire trying to eliminate personalities that he and his staff did not like and the Twins trying to replace Hunter's offense. I remember thinking that we Delmon was going to be produce like Hunter for the next 10 years and being really excited about it.

I liked it for a couple reasons. First, it was the first time the Twins were willing to trade from an area of strength (pitching) to get a bat that we desperately needed. Even without Garza, the team still had a lot of young arms - Slowey, Blackburn, Perkins, Baker, Boof and Liriano at the ML level, Mulvey, Humber, Duensing at AAA. Second, I was glad the team was moving away from the piranha thing and not giving up on offense at some positions. And, while Harris didn't really work out, our best team in 2010 really was an offensive team without the piranha crap.
I don't know what the Twins could've done differently. As I recall, Young (because of the contract he signed when drafted) was out of options when we got him so we couldn't move him to AAA. Benching him didn't work all that well. He just never got strike-zone awareness.
I've never been a big Smith basher. I think all of his moves are, to an extent, defendable but, as a whole, something was wrong. He made some good moves, esp before and during the 2010 season and some of his trades received more criticism than they deserved. Diamond for Bullock especially. I like that he got us more involved in Latin America and I like that he put Deron Johnson in charge of the drafts. But, while our drafts are usually well received when they happened, Johnson's drafts haven't really been productive, at least not yet.
With all due respect, thrylos did not say he hated Gardenhire. He said that Gardenhire was in his doghouse.
I don't always agree with thrylos's opinions, but they often provide food for thought. And to say that Gardenhire is in his doghouse seems like a relatively respectful way to express his disagreement with Gardenhire's (alleged) actions.
Sorry. Maybe I should have worded it differently. It is no secret on this site that Thrylos wants Gardenhire dismissed and I was sincerely being curious. I just want to know what event made Thrylos think or know Gardy wasn't the man for the job. No disrespect to Thrylos. I actually want to know. Maybe I can subscribe to his point of view?

I never liked the trade for Delmon. They gave up way too much, plain and simple. Garza was the Twins #1 prospect at the time, and teams had been asking about him for years. The Twins needed hitting at the time, but they just gave up way too much.
I love the way that you are now asking the question, and am hoping that the thrymaster will respond in the same spirit.
My reservations about Gardenhire and the coaching staff are based partly on comments by Hardy and Ortiz about why they hit for more power after they went to other teams. It seems to me that the coaching staff did not get the best from such players. It also seems to me that a different approach might have been taken with Garza. I am also troubled by how poorly the Twins have performed against the Yankees and in playoff games.
On the other hand, a manager needs good players to have a winning team, and the general manager(s) should share in the responsibility for team mediocrity.
I do not hate Gardenhire, but I wonder whether a new manager might be a better fit.
Thanks Glunn. I agree with your 4 points of interest: Hardy, Ortiz, Garza and Playoff futility against the Yankees. Trading Hardy can be equated to divorcing your wife to hang out with a couple of meth head tweekers and Releasing Ortiz can be equated to giving your uber rich neighbor your Rolls Royce because you are too lazy to learn how to drive a stick shick. Garza... puke, Yankees.. puke. Glunn, please do me a favor and send my apologize to Thrylos for calling him a murderer of hope - it was only meant in jest.

Forgive the presumption, but I can tell you when (I ) developed a crystallized ice of contempt for Gardenhire. Sometime maybe a decade back, probably less - Steinbrenner paid a condescending compliment to Gardenhire, and Gardenhire the ****ing bumpkin took it to heart and was said to keep an autographed picture of Steinbrenner on his wall. As if, someday, after a little glory with the low-level Twins - Steinbrenner would summon the louche fool to MANAGE THE NEW TORK YANKEES. Wow! Ron Gardenhire, toadstool could spin around like a top and say: "See, see, look at me!" That's when I KNEW that he was a loser, bereft of Twins Pride. Can you imagine TK ever getting a nod on the head from that buffoon Steinbrenner and doing somersaults because of it? He (Gardenhire) never saw his opportunity to carry on a la TK and WIN WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS. Look how many great players were Twins first and foremost: Killebrew, Oliva, Allison, Kaat, Carew, Blyleven, Puckett, Hrbek, Viola, Hunter, Santana, Liriano, Mauer, Morneau...**** the Yankees and their nearly 40 years of commodification! I wanted him gone THEN, 12 playoff losses in a row mostly to the Yankees, winning weak divisions and nothing else and now the debacle of the past two years - throwing away Papa, Garza, Hardy because they didn't do it that dismal joke of a manager's way is enough. He has no class, no savvy, no capacity to bring this franchise back. Andy seems to me to be too beholden to ****face, and the training staff's a joke. They've got to clean house and now.

It was a horrid deal at the time. An awful lot of people thought Delmon was a head case and damaged goods before the Twins traded for him. Garzas MiLB and beginning big league numbers pointed to a solid 2-3 starter and Bartlett was a potential long-term solution at shortstop. All these was compounded when we gave Young away for a bag of balls a few years later.
This deal plus the Johan disaster, plus Ramos for Capps, plus giving up Hardy for nothing are the reasons this franchise is the worst in baseball right now. All horrible moves at the time and made even worse in hindsight.
Ditto, and you aren't even mentioning the criticism of Bartlett.
I didn't mind the trade at the time, except for the Brendan Harris part of it. Or if he had to be involved, it would have been nice to get some low-level prospect as well. Young should have played RF.
But at the same time, maybe the Twins should not have traded for someone over-rushed through the minors.

Moscow: Syria Opposition Victory 'Possible'

Moscow: Syria Opposition Victory 'Possible'
© AFP 2014/ John CantlieRelated News
MOSCOW, December 13 (RIA Novosti) - Moscow admitted on Thursday the possibility of the Syrian opposition winning the ongoing civil war against government forces.
"We have to face up to reality: The trend is that the Syrian regime, the government is increasingly losing control, losing more and more territory," Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov said.
"Sadly, a victory by the Syrian opposition cannot be ruled out."
The Opposition Coalition, an alliance of rebel groups seeking to overthrow Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, is becoming more confident of victory, due to arms supplies from abroad and growing international recognition of its legitimacy, he said.
"They are saying that victory is just around the corner: 'We will soon take Aleppo and then we will take Damascus,' and saying they are in control of 60 percent of territory," he said.
More than 100 nations, including the United States and Western European countries, declared their support for the opposition coalition on Wednesday at a gathering in Marrakech, Morocco.
Russia on Wednesday voiced opposition to the US move to recognize the Syrian Opposition Coalition. Moscow maintains militant Islamist factions could come to power in Syria should the Assad government fall, and has repeatedly resisted efforts by Western and Arab countries to undermine the Syrian president.
The National Coalition of Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces (SNCROF) was formed on November 11 in Doha, Qatar and proclaimed itself the legitimate representative of the Syrian people.

- vusi(no title)02:37, 14/12/2012The war in Syria is a USA/EU driven war and has nothing to do with the Syrian people; therefore if the terrorists win it will be the USA that would have won. i think Russia must make sure that terrorists do not win in Syria. Russia should make sure there is a massive flow of weapons and fighter in the side of the government of Syria to counter the USA/EU reign of terror in the world. Russia must learn from their heroic fathers and forefathers how to counter USA/EU terror.
- moistVery irresponsible statement..11:04, 14/12/2012..since facts on the ground says otherwise. Resorting to random terror bombings, random throat slittings and terrorizing ordinary citizens is desperation on behalf of NATO mercenaries, not exactly a winning strategy. Putin can now add Mikhail Bogdanov as another fifth column on western payroll and act accordingly.

Metropolitan Museum of Art Names Susan Sellers Head of Design
Susan Sellers, founding partner and creative director of New York-based design consultancy 2×4, is moving on up, to the East Side, where on Monday, June 24, she'll begin her new role as head of design at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In overseeing the museum's department of design, Sellers will lead a cadre of specialists–in installation, graphic, and lighting design–that attend to everything from signage and printed materials to exhibitions and gallery installations.
Sellers, who is also senior critic in graphic design at Yale School of Art, comes to the Met with extensive experience working with museums. 2×4 has developed graphic identities for the likes of PS1 and the Brooklyn Museum, and Sellers has cultivated the studio's approach to brand identity for museums and public institutions including the Guggenheim, Longwood Gardens, and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. She has also designed exhibitions for clients such the Guggenheim and the Storefront for Art and Architecture–as well as Nike and Prada. "Her design work is both elegant and strategic," noted Metropolitan Museum director Thomas Campbell in a statement announcing Sellers' appointment, "and I look forward to having her develop a design vision for the Met that speaks to the museum's diverse collections and audiences."

Hong Kong Rally Calls for Government to Protect Snowden
Protesters marched to Hong Kong's government headquarters demanding their leaders protect Edward Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor who fled to the city after exposing a U.S. surveillance program.
About 200 people, some carrying banners saying "Protect Free Speech" and chanting slogans such as "NSA has no say," marched to the U.S. consulate in Hong Kong in the rain before making their way to the government building. Protesters blew whistles as a sign of solidarity with Snowden.
"We must not let anybody intervene, be it from Beijing or be it from Washington, because we have the rule of law," Albert Ho, a legislator from Hong Kong's Democratic Party, said to the protesting crowd. "Mr. Snowden should be given the right under our law to stay in Hong Kong."

Regulation of Copulation Duration by period and timeless in Drosophila melanogaster
Regulation of Copulation Duration by period and timeless in Drosophila melanogaster

The circadian clock involves several clock genes encoding interacting transcriptional regulators [[1–4]]. Mutations in clock genes in Drosophila melanogaster, period (per), timeless (tim), Clock (Clk), and cycle (cyc), produce multiple phenotypes associated with physiology, behavior, development, and morphology [[5]]. It is not clear whether these genes always work as clock components or may also act in some unknown pleiotropic fashion. We report here that per and tim are involved in a novel, male-specific phenotype that affects behavioral timing on the order of minutes. Males lacking per or tim copulate significantly longer than males with normal per or tim function, while females do not show this effect. No correlation between fertility and extended copulation duration was found. Several lines of evidence suggest that the time in copula (TIC) is not regulated by the known clock mechanism. First, the period of free-running clock oscillations does not appear to affect this phenotype. Second, constant light, which abolishes the clock function, does not alter TIC. Finally, mutations in the positively acting clock transcription factors, Clk and cyc, do not affect TIC. Our study extends the repertoire of behavioral functions involving per and tim genes and uncovers another time scale over which these genes may act.

How Much (Monitoring) is Too Much? (Part 2)David Spero June 11, 2008 Hey guys, I went to the American Diabetes Association's (ADA) Scientific Sessions in San Francisco this past weekend, courtesy of a Diabetes Self-Management press credential. It was fascinating. I'll be writing about it for the next five weeks, but first to report the ADA's view on blood glucose self-monitoring. They had a session specially devoted to the British studies that cast doubt on self-monitoring for people with Type 2 diabetes, the ones we talked about last week (see "How Much (Monitoring) is Too Much?") The speakers were divided about how much self-monitoring people with Type 2 should do, if any. In the question period, I brought up the experiences that our readers shared. Basically, as Nicky and Aubrey said in their comments on last week's post, that people should monitor a lot at the beginning. You need to learn how foods, exercise, and meds affect you. You also need to monitor when you're changing things, like trying some new foods, as Delebra suggested. But once you know how things are going, you don't have to check as much unless something changes. I also mentioned what Philips and Pilbur wrote, that self-monitoring is what has enabled them to do well. But I think the bottom line is what Beth wrote: "I am all for individualizing blood glucose monitoring schedules. I think we should check blood glucose when we need the information it supplies." I still think that telling people to monitor, but not what the results mean or what to do about them, doesn't help. I wonder how many of our frequent monitoring group were taught by their educators or health-care providers and how many just picked it up for yourselves. It would be great to get some stories about your diagnosis and early introduction to self-management. How much help did you get, and was it the good kind of help? I went to conference sessions on protein, carbs, exercise, sex (of course), communication between doctor and patient, prediabetes, and behavior change theories. So that's what I'll be writing about in coming weeks.
