On Dec. 6, three days after the anniversary of the 1984 Bhopal pesticide plant explosion, India's Attorney General asked the country's supreme court to force Dow Chemical to pay $1.1 billion in compensation to victims, reports the Wall Street Journal. The move follows on persistent advocacy and recent trials in India and around the world to hold Dow accountable for the liabilities of Union Carbide, acquired by Dow in 2001. The tragedy is now estimated to have caused 20,000 deaths and some 500,000 injuries.
The winter Patagonia clothing catalog in North American mailboxes this week features more than nifty outdoor adventure duds. For 15 years, all of the cotton products for sale have been made from 100% organic fiber. And Pesticide Action Network is among a handful non-profit organizations profiled. Patagonia is a long-term supporter of PAN's campaign for sustainable agriculture and against the use of toxic pesticides like endosulfan that are used in cotton production around the world (including in the U.S. until the phaseout won this year is completed). Cotton covers 2.5% of the world's cultivated land yet uses 16% of the world's insecticides, more than any other crop.
Today, PAN joined a diverse coalition of farmworker, children's health, farm, and environmental groups to release our priorities for the incoming Brown administration.

DDT ceased being the "go to" tool in the malaria fighter's tool box more than 50 years ago when mosquito populations started developing resistance and when better, safer tools began to come online. It's still available today, but the chemical's usefulness is extremely limited. Now, new research shows that in some circumstances spraying DDT is not only ineffective, but it may actually increase malaria transmission.
The 50 biggest biotech and agrochemical trade groups spent over $572 million from 1999 to 2010 on lobbying. That's more than half a billion dollars! According to a new report from Food & Water Watch, the annual rate was a steady $30-$40 million per year until about 2006, when this industry apparently began courting Congress in earnest — as the annual figure nearly doubles between 2006 and 2010. And as Business Week reports, the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) — the world's largest biotech lobby group — spent over $2 million in the third quarter of 2010 alone, lobbying Congress as well as the National Institute of Health, Environmental Protection Agency, Agriculture Department, Health and Human Services Department, Food and Drug Administration and other agencies, to keep genetically engineered (GE) crops and animals unregulated and on the market.

Cash For Kites: Government Gives $10 Million to Green Pioneers
We're big fans of ARPA-E, [2] the U.S. Department of Energy program that awards grants to "moonshot" green technologies that might not otherwise have a prayer for funding. In the past, ARPA-E has given cash to companies working on everything from algae harvesting to liquid metal batteries. The latest round of grants doesn't disappoint.
ARPA-E's $9.6 million in funding for energy research and development projects is going to companies working on airborne wind turbines, cryogenic carbon capture, solar concentrators, nanostructured permanent magnets, membrane-based dehumidifiers, and thermal energy storage.
Google-backed Makani Power is getting the most funding ($3 million) for its airborne wind turbine, which converts wind energy into electricity using tethered wings outfitted with turbines. In other words, Makani is using kites to generate energy. The company is currently working on its first 1 MW turbine kite, which is expected to be finished in a year and a half. After that, the kite will undergo a year and a half of testing before hitting the market.
Another big winner in this round of funding is GE Global Research, which received $2,249,980 for research on transformational nanostructured permanent magnets. According to ARPA-E, these next-generation magnets could "increase the efficiency and power density of electric machines while reducing raw material cost" and "enable further market penetration of hybrid vehicles and wind turbine generators, while enhancing US competitiveness in rare‐earth mineral based products."
Useful stuff, to be sure, but we'd still wager that Makani's kite turbines will have the biggest impact out of this round of funding recipients.

Rare Ltd. is a British video game developer located in Twycross, Leicestershire, England. The company was established in 1985 by Ultimate Play the Game founders Tim and Chris Stamper. During its early years, Rare primarily concentrated on Nintendo Entertainment System games, creating successful titles such as Wizards & Warriors, Battletoads, and R.C. Pro-Am. Rare became a second-party developer for Nintendo in 1994. They achieved critical acclaim and commercial success with their subsequent releases, which included Donkey Kong Country, Killer Instinct, GoldenEye 007, Banjo-Kazooie, Perfect Dark, Conker's Bad Fur Day, and Star Fox Adventures.
On September 24, 2002, the company was wholly purchased by Microsoft and has since focused on developing games exclusively for Microsoft video game consoles. Rare since then has developed Kameo: Elements of Power, the Viva Piñata series, and the Kinect Sports series, among others. On 2 January 2007, founders Tim and Chris Stamper left the company to pursue "other opportunities". Rare's current Studio Creative Director is Simon Woodroffe, who previously worked at several studios including Midway Games, Ubisoft, and Sega.
Founding and first years (1985–1993)[edit]
Rare evolved from Ashby Computers & Graphics Ltd., better known by the trade name Ultimate Play the Game, and founded by ex-arcade game developers Tim and Chris Stamper.[2] Unsatisfied with their games for 8-bit personal home computers such as the ZX Spectrum, the Stampers became interested in the development of Nintendo Entertainment System games out of Japan. By that time, they sold off part of the Ultimate Play the Game label to U.S. Gold and formed in 1985 a sub-division inside Ashby Computers and Graphics Ltd. named Rare Ltd.[2] Having convinced Nintendo to allow them to develop games for their video game console, Rare released their first title, Slalom, a skiing game that was originally released for the Nintendo Vs. System in 1986 and later for the NES in 1987.
Throughout the following four years, the company went on to produce over 40 NES games as well as several additional Game Boy conversions, including Wizards & Warriors, R.C. Pro-Am, Captain Skyhawk, Snake Rattle 'n' Roll and Battletoads.[2] According to Ste Pickford, who was part of the team at Rare throughout the late 80s and into the early 90s, they just "wanted to make as many games as they could in their 'window of opportunity'".[3] When the Super Nintendo Entertainment System was conceived, Rare limited their releases to some Battletoads games and decided to invest their significant NES profit in purchasing expensive Silicon Graphics workstations. This move made Rare the most technologically advanced developer in the UK, and situated them fairly high internationally.[2]
Partnership with Nintendo (1994–2001)[edit]
Their progress with the 3D graphics on the SGI systems impressed Nintendo's Genyo Takeda, and in 1994, Nintendo bought a 49% stake in the company, turning Rare into a Nintendo second-party developer.[2] In this period, Rare started selling their games under the trademark name "Rareware" and the slogan "Rare: Designs on the Future". The company was considered one of Nintendo's key developers and had enough recognition that Nintendo offered them their catalogue of characters to create a 3D CGI game.[2] The Stampers asked for Donkey Kong. The resulting game, Donkey Kong Country, was a critical success and sold over eight million copies worldwide, making it the second best-selling game in the SNES library.[2] The game received several Game of the Year honors and was followed by two sequels and several hand-held spin-offs.[2] Prior to the release of the Nintendo 64, Rare also developed a CGI arcade fighting game, Killer Instinct, on their own custom-built hardware.[2]
Rare gained more international recognition with the release of GoldenEye 007, a Nintendo 64 first-person shooter based on the film GoldenEye that is often credited for having revolutionized the genre.[2] The title received very high critical praise and sold more than eight million units worldwide. It also received numerous awards and Rare won the BAFTA award for "Best UK Developer".[4] Other subsequent successful Nintendo 64 games include Banjo-Kazooie, released in 1998, and Donkey Kong 64, released the following year. Around the same time, numerous employees left the company and formed new studios. The most notable of these studios was Free Radical Design, which was composed of several members of the GoldenEye 007 team.[2] Free Radical Design developed the successful TimeSplitters series of first-person shooters, though the company was acquired by Crytek in 2009 and renamed Crytek UK.[5]
In 2000, Rare released the spiritual successor to GoldenEye 007, Perfect Dark. The game was given near universal critical acclaim from the gaming media, and the company was awarded the BAFTA Interactive Entertainment Moving Images Award for 2000,[6] and the Golden Satellite Award for Best Interactive Product in 2001.[7] Rare's last games for the Nintendo 64 include Banjo-Tooie and Conker's Bad Fur Day, both of which released to very positive reviews. Conker's Bad Fur Day won the 2001 BAFTA Interactive Entertainment Award for sound,[8] though commercial success was lower than expected as a result of lack of promotion from Nintendo and the fact that it came at the end of the Nintendo 64's lifecycle.[2]
Microsoft era (2002–present)[edit]
Beginning in late 2000, workers from Activision and Microsoft visited Rare.[9] On September 24, 2002, Microsoft paid a total of $375 million to own 100% of the company.[10][11] Because of this, Rare is now a first-party developer for Microsoft's Xbox and its successors, the Xbox 360 and Xbox One. This left Donkey Kong Racing, which was due to be released for the Nintendo GameCube, unreleased.[12] The trademarks of the characters from the games that Rare made for Nintendo consoles, such as Conker of Conker's Bad Fur Day and Banjo of the Banjo-Kazooie series, were retained by Rare, whereas intellectual properties created by Nintendo, such as Donkey Kong and Star Fox, were retained by Nintendo.[13] Star Fox Adventures, originally planned as Dinosaur Planet for the N64, became the only Rare game produced for the Nintendo GameCube.[2]
Despite the acquisition, Rare still kept developing games for Nintendo handheld consoles,[14] as Microsoft is currently not participating in the handheld video game console market: In August 2003, Rare and Microsoft made a deal with THQ for Rare to publish games for the Game Boy Advance, which have included Sabre Wulf, a game based on an Ultimate character; Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge, an interquel to the two Nintendo 64 games; and It's Mr. Pants!, a puzzle game that was originally developed as "Donkey Kong: Coconut Crackers", and featured the company's unofficial mascot.[15] January 2005 saw the completion of this deal, with the release of Banjo-Pilot, originally known as "Diddy Kong Pilot" before being acquired by Microsoft. Rare also ported and extended the Donkey Kong Country series, which was published by Nintendo.
In 2003, Rare released their first Microsoft game, Grabbed by the Ghoulies. Grabbed by the Ghoulies is a humorous beat-'em-up action-adventure game that takes place in a haunted house full of crazed ghoulies. The game got a rating of 7 out of 10 by IGN.[16] At E3 in May 2004, Microsoft's Ken Lobb stated that Rare had obtained Nintendo DS development kits and was working on two games for the Nintendo DS.[17] Shortly after, Microsoft issued a statement saying that the company and its studios had no plans for Nintendo DS development. However, in July 2005 Rare posted job openings for Nintendo DS development on its official website, and stated that it was "creating key DS titles". The first of these games was Diddy Kong Racing DS, a remake of the Nintendo 64 title Diddy Kong Racing, now featuring the ability for players to compete over the Internet through Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.
In 2005, Rare released Conker: Live & Reloaded, a remake of the N64's Conker's Bad Fur Day with updated graphics, sound to suit the Xbox and a reworked multiplayer option. The game received generally favorable reviews. Later that year, in November 2005, Rare made something of a resurgence when Microsoft's Xbox 360 console was released. Two of the Xbox 360's launch games were developed by Rare: Kameo: Elements of Power and Perfect Dark Zero, with Viva Piñata released the next year to very positive reviews. It also received a BAFTA nomination in Artistic Achievement. On 2 January 2007, Rare founders Chris and Tim Stamper left the company to "pursue other opportunities".[18] Previous lead designer Gregg Mayles reviews as Creative Director and Mark Betteridge replaces as Studio Director at the company, replacing the brothers on a permanent basis. Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, released in 2008 to generally favourable reviews, was their first major game developed without the involvement of the Stamper brothers in the company.[19]
Despite solid reviews, their Microsoft titles sold worse than expected. As a result, Microsoft decided to restructure the studio during the end of the decade.[20] Several key employees quit or were fired around this time. In March 2010, the company opened a new facility in Fazeley Studios, located in Digbeth, Birmingham.[21] Later that year, Microsoft confirmed that Scott Henson, a developer who previously worked on the hardware and software design of the new Xbox 360 console and Kinect for Xbox 360, replaced Mark Betteridge as Studio Manager and that their main focus will be on Kinect.[22] According to Henson: "Kinect will be the main focus for Rare going forwards as it's a very rich canvas. This is just the beginning of an experience that will touch millions of people."[23] Rare's first Kinect project was Kinect Sports, released in November 2010. Despite average reviews,[24] the game was a commercial success, selling three million units as of May 2011.[25] In March 2011, Henson announced that Craig Duncan, who has previously worked on Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing and the Colin McRae Rally series, was hired on as Senior Studio Director.[26] In April 2012, Simon Woodroffe, who previously worked at several studios including Adventure Soft, Midway Games, Ubisoft, and Sega, became the studio's Creative Director.[27]
Unlike some other software developers, Rare gained a reputation for being a very secretive company. The approach to their office buildings, located in Manor Park near Twycross, is monitored by a number of cameras. Web video shows have been granted access in recent years, such as Eurogamer in November 2006,[28] The 1UP Show[29] and GameSpot UK's Start Select in May 2008. Internally, they are quite divided and operate in a slightly different way to other software houses.[13] According to Tim Stamper:
" | Rare has a different philosophy. We don't really have much contact with other game development companies and we just do things the way they've evolved. We try to employ people who are great games players and games enthusiasts and they're really interested in seeing the other games we're developing in the Company, so it's really a group of games enthusiasts all working together to produce the best games they can - that's Rare.[13] | " |
More recently, Rare has denied a fan site, MundoRare, from filming a documentary about their studios, at MundoRare's own expense. The film was meant to celebrate Rare's 25th anniversary, and would have been distributed over the Internet and Xbox Live. Rare, however, denied permission to shoot this film, claiming it was not "on message". This led to controversy about Rare's current direction with Microsoft, as well as the shutting down of MundoRare, claiming that the site could not support Rare's new direction.[30]
Rare has developed numerous video games since its founding, with sales nearing 90 million units as of 2002.[11] The company is best known for its platform games, which include the Donkey Kong Country, Banjo-Kazooie, and Conker series, and for its Nintendo 64 first-person shooters GoldenEye 007 and Perfect Dark. Despite this, Rare does not stick to a few specific video game genres. They have also developed several action-adventure games, including Star Fox Adventures and Kameo: Elements of Power, some fighting games such as the Killer Instinct series, some racing games such as R.C. Pro-Am or Diddy Kong Racing, and some classic Beat 'em up/Shoot 'em up games such as Battletoads and Captain Skyhawk, among others. Additionally, as Rare has usually been tied to a company that manufactures a video game console (e.g. Nintendo and Microsoft), most of their titles have been developed solely for a particular platform. The company has also developed the Kinect Sports series for the Kinect device.

Below are the pesticides with established tolerances (residue limits for pesticides used in the U.S. or by countries exporting to the U.S.) for peas. While not all the pesticides on the list are applied to all peas, there is no way to tell which pesticides are applied to any given piece of conventional produce on your store shelf. You may consider talking to the farmers at your local farmers market about the pesticides they use, but eating organic is the only way to know for sure.
California Farmworker Poisonings, 1992–2010: 5 reported (CA acreage: ). These poisoning incidents only represent the tip of the iceberg because it only reflects reported incidents in one state. It is widely recognized that pesticide incidents are underreported and often misdiagnosed.
Pesticide Tolerances —Health and Environmental Effects: The database shows that while peas grown with toxic chemicals show low pesticide residues on the finished commodity, there are 54 pesticides with established tolerance for peas, 27 are acutely toxic creating a hazardous environment for farmworkers, 50 are linked to chronic health problems (such as cancer), 17 contaminate streams or groundwater, and 46 are poisonous to wildlife.
Pollinator Impacts: In addition to habitat loss due to the expansion of agricultural and urban areas, the database shows that there are 24 pesticides used on peas that are considered toxic to honey bees and other insect pollinators. For more information on how to protect pollinators from pesticides, see Beyond Pesticides' BEE Protective webpage.

While some fans have grumbled about the new autograph policies at the CMA Music Festival Exhibition Hall, the hall itself is set up for comfort and quirkiness this year. Thereâs a full bar, as well as a couple of places to grab a whiskey drink (actually, donât grab, ask nicely and pay up, and a $1 tip is really the least you can do). So if your name is Billy and you want to get your beer goggles on before getting Neil âBillyâs Got His Beer Goggles Onâ McCoy to sign something, youâre in luck.
And the WSM-AM Acoustic Corner is located to the left of the entrance. Thursday morning, Gene Watson was singing âFarewell Party,â âFourteen Carat Mindâ and other hits at the Corner. Watson, a classic country vocalist, was at the top of his game, performing with a band that featured one of the all-time great session guitarists, Jimmy Capps. (He played on âThe Gambler,â âHe Stopped Loving Her Today,â âElviraâ and other smashes.)
Elsewhere in the room, fans could visit with up-and-coming singer David St. Romain, test their Parton smarts at a âDo You Know Dollyâ game show exhibit, or view some of clothier Manuelâs treasures.

About Charbonnel et Walker
Founded in 1875, Charbonnel et Walker is one of Britain's earliest chocolatiers. Encouraged by Edward VII, (then the Prince of Wales), the company first formed as a partnership between Mrs Walker and Mme. Charbonnel, the latter from the Maison Boissier chocolate house in Paris. Charbonnel et Walker's first shop opened at 173 New Bond Street in Mayfair and has remained in Bond Street ever since. It is now housed in one of London's elegant arcades, the Royal Arcade on Old Bond Street. 'We feel much pride and privilege to be endorsed by the Royal Warrant as chocolate manufacturers to Her Majesty The Queen'.

Grass, Chasmanthium latifolium
Grass, Northern Sea Oats
This clump-forming, upright, ornamental grass is a Missouri native plant and is perhaps most distinguished by the flat, drooping seed heads which hang in terminal clusters on thread-like pedicils from slightly arching stems. Seed heads will flutter even in the softest of breezes. Seed heads emerge green but turn purplish bronze by late summer. The upright clump of bright green leaves turn a coppery color after frost and eventually brown by winter. Excellent for dried flower arrangements. Deserves to be much more widely used, tolerating a wide range of soil and light conditions, but happiest in moist soil with dappled shade. Self seeds, but seedlings are easily removed if unwanted.
Chasmanthium latifolium is a Missouri native plant which typically grows in rich woods or rocky slopes along streams and on moist bluffs.
MSD Stormwater BMP Native plant used in Bioretention & Organic Filters-Informal applications
Grass, Northern Sea Oats Growing and Maintenance Tips:
Northern Sea Oats grass is easily grown in average, medium to wet, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Tolerant of poor soils, but prefers moist, fertile soils. One of the more shade tolerant of the ornamental grasses, chasmanthium latifolium self-seeds and may spread aggressively. Since seedheads become more attractive as they age and darken by fall, plant it among shrubs and perennials that either turn color or flower then. Leaving foliage in place over winter adds interest to the landscape and helps protect crowns from the cold. Cut back to the ground in early spring.

Traveled to Thorpe Park today, managed 47.3mpg on the way down with aircon on. Traveling back, ended up on 42mpg. Didn't reset the trip computer for the way back though, so that's averaged over about 220 miles. I also got stuck on a log in the carpark though, so I probably spent about 15 minutes revving away like a crazy.

I really need to get in on this and defend the Fiestas MPG, my car (Titanium 1.6TDCi [95]) has now done just over 700 miles and the average MPG is sitting pretty at 53.9 according to the trip computer and 53.7 according to the interwebs and a calculator.
Now looking at the Ford website they quote 54.3MPG for urban, and as my average speed was only 23mph i would call that pretty urban...
Im not driving like a saint, and im not stretching every gear to the limit, but i am getting, near as damnit, what they quote.
Im keeping my receipts so i can keep an accurate log and i'll keep hitting this post everytime i fill up, which should be every 10 days or so.
Hope this helps

Sometimes it may be tough as both result in ascites, and peritoneal carcinomatosis can sometimes scallop the edges of solid organs. Peritoneal carcinomatosis tends to have soft tissue deposits along the peritoneum as well as the omentum, so careful inspection of those structures is useful in differentiation.

Earliest evidence of chocolate in North America
tags: archaeology, discoveries, chocolate, ScienceThey were humble farmers who grew corn and dwelt in subterranean pit houses. But the people who lived 1200 years ago in a Utah village known as Site 13, near Canyonlands National Park in Utah, seem to have had at least one indulgence: chocolate. Researchers report that half a dozen bowls excavated from the area contain traces of chocolate, the earliest known in North America. The finding implies that by the end of the 8th century C.E., cacao beans, which grow only in the tropics, were being imported to Utah from orchards thousands of kilometers away.
The discovery could force archaeologists to rethink the widely held view that the early people of the northern Southwest, who would go on to build enormous masonry "great houses" at New Mexico's Chaco Canyon and create fine pottery, had little interaction with their neighbors in Mesoamerica. Other scientists are intrigued by the new claim, but also skeptical....

For the last three years the Hotchkiss Bulldogs have dominated the field and the scoreboard to win the annual North Fork Bowl football game against Paonia. Since 2010, Hotchkiss has outscored Paonia, 143-20.
This Friday, not only are the North Fork Bowl trophy and bragging rights up for grabs, the neighboring rivals are both 6-1 overall, and at 3-0 are locked in a two-way tie for first place in the 1A Western Slope League.
The last time Paonia won, this year's seniors were in sixth grade, noted Paonia head coach Brent McRae. But this year, Paonia has a chance. "The kids are ready," said McRae.
Both teams are coming off of wins last Friday — Paonia with a 47-8 win over Lake County, and Hotchkiss with a 31-7 win over Roaring Fork.
Taylor Walters ran for 202 yards and four touchdowns in Paonia's win over Lake County (0-7, 0-3). "We took care of business, that's about it," said McRae. Paonia had a 28-0 lead after one quarter and pushed the lead to 41-0 by halftime.
"We just wanted to get out healthy and work on a few things," said McRae. With the big lead, "most of the varsity players were out half-way through the second quarter."
Freshman quarterback Dagan Rienks completed two of five passes for 26 yards and one touchdown pass to Ty Coats. Coats connected with Will Austin on a 25-yard touchdown pass. Joel Simianer had one catch on the night, a 41-yard touchdown pass play.
Paonia moved the ball 250 yards on the ground and 92 yards in the air.
Three of Tony Darling's eight tackles were for losses. Defensive lineman Josh Kimball had one fumble recovery, and Austin returned an interception 28 yards. Place kicker Colby Simpson was five of six in PATs.
Alex Smith led the Bulldog rushing game with 179 yards and two touchdowns in 18 carries in Friday's win at Roaring Fork (2-5, 0-3).
Quarterback Devan Rupe had eight carries for 74 yards and two touchdowns. Duncan Turnbull had four carries for 25 yards and one touchdown.
On defense, River Panish had seven solo tackles, and Caleb Schelle completed five solo tackles and three sacks. Ryan Hafley completed one of two PATs.
With first-round playoffs just over two weeks away, the three Delta County teams are in the top 10 in Class 1A standings in most state polls.
The chsaanow.com coaches' poll ranks Hotchkiss at No. 3, Paonia is sixth and Cedaredge 7th. Buena Vista is at the top of that poll, ahead of Limon.
Friday night's game begins at 7 p.m., at Hotchkiss High School.

The order issued after oral arguments [recorded audio] arrived just hours before the scheduled execution of convicted murderer William Castillo, currently the only Nevada convict facing a warrant of execution. In recent weeks, similar stays have been granted in Arizona and Texas [JURIST reports]. AP has more.The Georgia Supreme Court Tuesday denied [order, PDF; press release, PDF] convicted killed Jack Alderman's motion to stay his scheduled Friday execution. The order said that if the United States Supreme Court
stays the execution in this and similar cases in order to consider the issue raised herein, this Court will of course comply with that determination and will closely follow every directive from that Court.

When Mayor Sam Teresi couldn't be there to welcome the Jamestown High School Express Winter Guard back after their second-place performance at the Winter Guard International championship in Dayton, Ohio, he decided that they still deserved to be recognized.
On Wednesday afternoon, members of the Express Winter Guard, along with director, Marc Lentsch, were invited to the City Council chambers at City Hall to be honored for their hard work and dedication.
Mayor Sam Teresi, City Council president Greg Rabb and Jamestown High School principal Dr. Mike McElrath were all on hand for the ceremony.

Following speeches by Teresi, Rabb and McElrath, Letsch and the JHS Express Winter Guard were presented the key to the city.
"I can tell you that they represented us all in Jamestown very well, both on the floor and off," said Letsch. "I've been on a lot of trips with a lot of groups, and in terms of character, this is the best group I've ever been with. They represented us well. Winter Guard International and I both want to recognize that it's the students' efforts that put them where they are, but it's also the school administration, and the community that helps us do this. It means a lot to the students for them to know that they mean something to this community. This was one for the record books, and hopefully next year is just as good."

Catching up with the DVR during a busy time of year as we're rolling out our Draft Preview content.
Jonathon Crawford:
Watching Crawford pitch now reminds me of the Crawford I covered 2 summers ago when compiling the top prospect lists for the Northwoods League. Scouts and coaches were in agreement that he had among the best and most well-rounded repertoire in the league, but lacked the command to be consistently effective. I was a little surprised last year when he was as consistently good as he was because of this, as the light switch seemed to go on pretty quickly for him. I'm not sure if he's regressed, if it's focus, or what, but his command again is in question, although he still has been fairly effective, largely on the strength of his pure stuff. He doesn't approach the upper-90s this year from what I've heard like he did a year ago, topping out around 94-95, which is still plenty good, but it's the command of his fastball that is lacking and would really go a long way to improve the rest of his arsenal. He has inconsistent mechanics/arm slots and almost looks rushed at times. One fastball will come in way high, and then the next is buried in the dirt (and that's not just a matter of him trying to change eye levels). His slider has very sharp break down and away from RH hitters, and he does a nice job dropping his curve in for strikes. His changeup is also effective. If he can learn to focus and find some patience to properly set up batters while keeping consistent mechanics, it's easy to see him going back to his successful ways from a year ago. If not, he could become a dominant reliever if he doesn't have to worry about pacing himself.
Alex Bregman:
It's of no surprise to the PG staff that he's enjoying success this year, as he was dubbed one of the top prep hitters a year ago and was part of our All-American squad during the summer of 2011. He put on an incredible display of power at the 2011 National Showcase in Fort Myers, and was one of the best pure hitters in that class. He consistently squares up the ball very well and hits it very hard to all fields with very strong hands, wrists and forearms. He's not the tallest of athletes, but is very versatile, similar to someone like Brett Lawrie (although not quite as physical, yet, as Lawrie). You could even say he's like a RH hitting version of Brian Giles. He had 3 hits in the game against Alabama, a triple (a ball hit to the outfield that was misplayed -- should have been a single), a double that he ripped past the 3B bag and a home run in which he golfed a low, inside fastball over the LF fence. He makes very good adjustments, and his bat speed allows him to let the ball travel deep into the zone. He also hustles his tail off and shows very good, natural baseball instincts. He's going to be a very good MLB hitter, and a premium pick in the 2015 draft.
Ryan Eades:
It's been a while since I last saw Eades, I believe in a matchup with Ryne Stanek a year ago. Eades is a tall, slender, long-limbed RHP. There's a little funk to his delivery, although his fastball comes out of his hand fairly straight over the top. His curveball is a really sharp pitch that he's able to add/subtract off of for a different effect. He throws a softer version in for strikes and a sharper version that is more of a true strikeout pitch. He somewhat reminds me of Taylor Jungmann for that ability. Eades got hit around a little in this game, tending to leave the ball up, and was much more effective keeping the ball down in the zone as his stuff, while good, isn't good enough to simply blow by hitters consistently. He did get into one part of the game where he threw his curveball too much, seemingly not trusting his fastball/command. He's a good athlete that consistently repeats his delivery, fields his position well, and he also flashed a few solid changeups.
JaCoby Jones:
Jones also had a 3-hit day, although two of them were loopers to the OF for singles, and he didn't get a particularly good swing on either ball. His athleticism is obvious, although his upper body seems to be more developed than his lower. I know there's a lot of scrutiny with Jones given his potential (good) vs. his production (not so good), and while this was only one brief look at him, I've seen him enough times in the past to remain skeptical.
Mikey White:
Like Bregman, keep an eye on this kid for 2015. He's a great looking athlete with very good bat speed that made hard contact on a couple of balls in this game. His numbers aren't the greatest, but I would bet he finished his freshman season strong and starts to make a bigger name for himself this summer and during his sophomore year in 2014.
More to come as I have to clear out my DVR soon to make room for a ton of good games this weekend...

Viral and Developmental Cell Fusion Mechanisms: Conservation and Divergence
Developmental Cell, Volume 14, Issue 1, 1 January 2008, Pages 11-21
Amir Sapir, Ori Avinoam, Benjamin Podbilewicz and Leonid V. Chernomordik
SummaryMembrane fusion is a fundamental requirement in numerous developmental, physiological, and pathological processes in eukaryotes. So far, only a limited number of viral and cellular fusogens, proteins that fuse membranes, have been isolated and characterized. Despite the diversity in structures and functions of known fusogens, some common principles of action apply to all fusion reactions. These can serve as guidelines in the search for new fusogens, and may allow the formulation of a cross-species, unified theory to explain divergent and convergent evolutionary principles of membrane fusion.

Genetic basis of cell–cell fusion mechanisms

Pablo S. Aguilar, Mary K. Baylies, Andre Fleissner, Laura Helming, Naokazu Inoue, Benjamin Podbilewicz, Hongmei Wang and Melissa Wong
AbstractCell–cell fusion in sexually reproducing organisms is a mechanism to merge gamete genomes and, in multicellular organisms, it is a strategy to sculpt organs, such as muscle, bone, and placenta. Moreover, this mechanism has been implicated in pathological conditions, such as infection and cancer. Studies of genetic model organisms have uncovered a unifying principle: cell fusion is a genetically programmed process. This process can be divided in three stages: competence (cell induction and differentiation); commitment (cell determination, migration, and adhesion); and cell fusion (membrane merging and cytoplasmic mixing). Recent work has led to the discovery of fusogens, which are cell fusion proteins that are necessary and sufficient to fuse cell membranes. Two unrelated families of fusogens have been discovered, one in mouse placenta and one in Caenorhabditis elegans (syncytins and F proteins, respectively). Current research aims to identify new fusogens and determine the mechanisms by which they merge membranes.

Is HAP2-GCS1 an ancestral gamete fusogen?
Trends in Cell Biology, Volume 20, Issue 3, 1 March 2010, Pages 134-141
Julian L. Wong and Mark A. Johnson
AbstractEukaryotes employ a diversity of strategies to ensure that gametes come together, but the cellular climax is less varied: gamete plasma membranes must fuse to allow the combination of parental genomes. Recent studies of HAP2-GCS1, a sex-restricted transmembrane protein found in genomes representing all major eukaryotic taxa except fungi, suggest that a broad array of eukaryotic organisms could share a common mechanism for gamete fusion. Plant, protozoan, and algal gametes carrying loss-of-function mutations in HAP2-GCS1 fail to fuse with their complements. We propose that HAP2-GCS1 is a crucial component of an ancient mechanism that mediates the fusion of gamete plasma membranes and could have been a key early innovation in the evolution of sexual reproduction.

Cell fusion during development
Meital Oren-Suissa and Benjamin Podbilewicz
Department of Biology, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, 32000 Israel
Most readers of this review originated from a sperm–egg fusion event. Cell fusion is a process that is crucial at many intersections later during development. However, we do not know which molecules (fusogens) fuse the membranes of gametes to form zygotes, myoblasts to form myotubes in muscles, macrophages to form osteoclasts in bones, or cytotrophoblasts to form syncytiotrophoblasts in placentas. There are five gold standards that can be applied for the identification of genuine fusogens. Based on these criteria, a numerical score can be used to assess the likelihood of protein fusogenicity. We compare distinct families of candidate developmental, viral and intracellular fusogens and analyze current models of membrane fusion.

MS Office Hotmail Loosing Password [mBox Mail]
New to the world of Mac and adjusting to the new way of doing things.
One thing that has been important to me is getting my personal and work email to sync properly and on the same app. Was previously using Outlook with Exchange for work and a Hotmail Connector for personal mail (@hotmail address). Exchange working fine and now have hotmail doing proper push mail for all folders using mBox mail - great app, I am impressed with this app. So the problem is every so often Outlook or mBox (or both) seems to lose the password for hotmail and I have to keep entering it. I get a popup as per the attached. Seemingly it happens at random, sometime often, sometimes not at all. Any ideas on cause/solution? |

The request for missing password is quite common for all email applications starting with Lion. Often if you just wait a bit the problem will clear up on it's own.
You can open Keychain Access in Applications/Utilities and run Keychain First Aid under Keychain in the Menu bar. It's also possible you have multiple entries for your account in the Keychain. It's not very smart about duplicates. Delete all and enter again in Outlook. |

I don't know why they can't fix this problem.
I rely on Craigslist for some specialty resale items for my business. CraigShopper automatically emails me when new items matching my description are listed in various locations. BTW... For anyone using Craigslist daily, this app is OUTSTANDING! I hate being out of town for several days and not receiving my emails because it forgot my password. Sometimes it goes for days working perfect other times not. There doesn't seem to be any consistency with it either. - Dave |

I don't get that exact message, I get something about keychain has forgotten my password or it's incorrect.
Once I re-enter it, it works good again. I've tried deleting all the keychain entries and starting fresh, and I've also tried the first aid fix thing, but nothing seems to resolve it completely. My machine stays on 24/7 and this comes up maybe every 2-3 weeks. I use Yahoo and AOL email with my mail app and it happens to both. Funny though, it NEVER happens on my iphone. - Dave |

Irregularity of the problem continues to irritate me, sometimes it comes up every minute, then it goes away for a day. I have a suspicion that it is something to do with network access being blocked or lost for a short period of time. Sometimes I get a long delay from the time that I request a webpage to when it loads - maybe the two issues are related?

This issue has continued to drive me around the twist, so I dod some more searching and found this link http://www.switchingtomac.com/tutorials/how-to-permanently-stop-dock-icons-from-bouncing/#comment-96630, I gave it a run and looks like the bouncing of the Outlook icon whenever this problem occurs (which is sooo irritating) has stopped.
So, no solution to the problem as yet but at least the inconvenience has been reduced. |

Kim Farris '14 Continues Hot Hitting with 18 Kills, Claire Larson '15 Has 39 Assists as Volleyball Upsets Previously Unbeaten Middlebury, 3-1, Then Downs Hamilton
Wesleyan stunned previously undefeated Middlebury, handing the Panthers a 3-1 loss Fri., Oct. 4, while the Cardinals won their third match in a row this season after a 2-9 start. The 10-0 start for Middlebury this year was its best in program history.
Kim Farris '14 (#2, right side photo), named NESCAC Player of the Week Sept. 30, paced Wesleyan with 18 kills as she leads the NESCAC in kills per set this season with 4.4. She hit well with a .325 efficiency on the night. Claire Larson '15 (#13, left side photo) collected 39 assists. Monica Leslie '14 and Sara Warnock '15 both had three blocks for the winners. Kate Centofanti '14 added 10 kills for the Cardinals with Abby Southam '16 chipping in with seven. As a team, the Cardinals hit effectively with a .293 efficiency.
Though Middlebury had won eight of the last 10 meetings of the teams, Wesleyan and Middlebury came into the match tied in the all-time series, 11-11. Wesleyan took the opening set 25-22, winning the final four points after trailing 22-21. Centofanti had a pair of kills down the stretch including the clincher. Middlebury rolled to a 25-11 victory in the second set, getting off to an early 6-1 lead. The margin grew to 17-7 and the Panthers coasted in from there. The third set also came down to the final stage as Wesleyan took a 22-20 lead, then got three of the final four points for the 25-21 win. Wesleyan seemed poised to make it a quick fourth set and wrap up the match, holding a 19-12 lead, but the Panthers went on a 7-2 run to narrow the difference to 21-19. Farris then got the next three Wesleyan points with a pair of kills and an ace as the Cardinals held a 24-21 margin. Middlebury staved off one match point but a smart hit on the second ball by Larson for a kill made it a 25-22 Wesleyan win in the fourth set.
Wesleyan closed out the NESCAC weekend at home Sat., Oct. 5 against Hamilton. Again, thre Cardinals prevailed, 3-1, their fourth win in a row. Farris had a match-high 16 kills, while Centofanti had a dozen kills to go along with 15 digs in the 26-24, 18-25, 25-16, 25-19 triumph.
The Cardinals built a 19-15 lead in the first set before the Continentals made a run, actually taking a 22-21. But the Cardinals rallied and a late kill by Leslie, followed by a block by Centofanti and Leslie gave Wesleyan the set. Hamilton roared back to take the second set rather easily, using a 7-2 run late to put it away.
Wesleyan started the third set strong, leading 10-6, before Hamilton used a 7-1 run to take a 13-11 lead. That was when Brittany Lo '15 took control of the set for the Cardinals. She ripped off eight straight points on her serve during a 9-0 run to give Wesleyan a 20-13 lead that it would carry into a 2-1 lead. Hamilton took a 6-2 edge early in the fourth set, but Wesleyan eventually tied it a 12-12 and took the lead on a Centofanti kill that was set up by Sara Warnock '15. With the set tied at 15-15, Lo won another three straight points on her serve to give Wesleyan a lead it would never relinquish en route to the clincher.
Wesleyan returns to action Fri., Oct. 11, traveling to Colby for another NESCAC matchup.

The Britax Baby Safe Plus SHR II Baby Car Seat in Cactus Green, is the ideal child seat for your baby. The D-Sip technology offers superior side impact protection in case your vehicle is in a collision. It is compatible with most Britax pushchairs using the Click & Go feature. The Baby Safe Plus Single Hand Release (SHR) seat features an integrated recline system so that your baby can lie flatter when being transported. You can easily adjust the headrest and harness to fit your baby as they grow.
D-Sip Technology provides better protection for your baby in a side-on collision. The D-shaped device is built in to the sides of the seat and the D-Sip nearest the car door is then manually turned outwards and locks in to place. As this is closest to the door it reduces the momentum first and expels the energy through the entire infant carrier shell and away from your baby.
Side impact protection offers superior protection to your child in case of a collision. Deeply padded side wings give your child optimum comfort when travelling.
The baby seat can be fitted in to your vehicle by using three different options. The Britax Baby-Safe belted base, the Britax Baby-Safe Isofix base or using your 3 point seat belt system.
The Baby-Safe is compatible with Britax pushchairs that have the Click & Go feature and incorporates integrated adaptors for fitting. The single hand release feature makes it easy to remove the seat from pushchairs. It is also Aircraft approved - TUV certified for air travel.
The 5 point, one pull safety harness (superior to common market practice) keeps your child secure when out and about and prevents rethread errors. The harness is height adjustable for optimum comfort as your baby grows.
The headrest has an easy single handed adjustment and a padded head support cushion with integral recline system for a flatter lying position.
The Baby-Safe has a soft touch area on the 3 position carry handle for ease of use and a sun & wind canopy with 50+ UV protection included protects your baby from the elements when out and about and can also be used when the handle is in the downward position. The curved base is ideal for feeding or rocking your child if sleepy. It has a removable, machine washable cover that is softly padded for comfort and chest pads that protect your child's neck from rubbing on the safety harness. The cover can be removed without disturbing the harness.

Arraignment Set for Former State Sen. Lowell BarronFormer state Sen. Lowell Barron and an aide from this last campaign are scheduled for arraignment June 24 in Fort Payne. Court records show Circuit Judge Randall Cole set the 9 a.m. hearing for the Fyffe Democrat and former aide Rhonda Jill Johnson of Scottsboro. They were indicted in April on six ethics and campaign finance charges stemming from Barron's unsuccessful re-election campaign in 2010. Barron, 71, and Johnson, 47, are accused of diverting $58,000 from Barron's campaign account for Johnson's personal use and for non-campaign uses. They are also accused of transferring a 2007 Toyota Camry from campaign property to Johnson for non-campaign purposes. Barron's attorney, Joe Espy, said Barron reported all the transactions on his campaign finance reports, and they were legitimate transactions to pay Johnson for work.
