CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- West Virginia State softball Coach Bob Allen knew he had a tall task in replacing All-American Brittany Hyatt, who graduated after last season.
Hyatt was the West Virginia Conference Player of the Year in 2010 and 2012, and is the first Yellow Jacket player to receive All-American honors. She holds 28 State program softball records.
While no one can replace Hyatt, at least yet, Allen has received a pleasant surprise to the lineup in freshman Dee Dee Loftis.
Loftis has stepped right into the State program and played an integral role in helping the Yellow Jackets to a 35-11 overall record and 18-5 in the WVC.
State has won 12 games in a row and 16 of its last 17. The Yellow Jackets have an outside shot of being the No. 1 seed for the conference tournament, which will be held in Vienna starting Thursday.
The former Sissonville standout has started 39 of the 42 games, including most at shortstop. Loftis is batting .346, has four doubles and is second on the team in home runs with three.
"No, not really," said Allen, when asked if he had anticipated so much production from Loftis so early in her career. "She has exceeded what I expected from her in her freshman season. It's great for her, and a plus for us. She is a player."
Loftis is happy and appreciative of her role.
"I'm very privileged and lucky to have a starting position, and I'm liking it," Loftis said. "We have excelled a lot. It's a different experience from high school and it's a lot of fun to be here."

James 'Jimbo' W. Miller (Aberdeen News / January 26, 2012) |
Aberdeen: The memorial service for James Jimbo W. Miller, 49, of Aberdeen will be 7 p.m. Friday, Jan. 27, 2012, at Carlsen Funeral Home and Crematory, 1708 Eighth Ave. N.E. The Rev. Bill Nelson-Loefke will officiate.
Jimbo died Saturday, Jan. 21, 2012, at his home.
James William Miller, son of William and Bertha Mae (Shumac) Miller, was born Sept. 29, 1962, in Lock Haven, Pa. He grew up in Pennsylvania, graduating from high school, and was hearing impaired all of his life.
He was united in marriage to Sheryl Wald on Oct. 19, 1990, in Maryland after having a long, long-distance relationship. He was working in a surface coal mine at the time of their marriage. They moved to Milwaukee, Wis., where he worked as a courier. They then moved to Salt Lake City, Utah, to be near Sheryl's father, where Jimbo worked construction. In 1995, they moved to Aberdeen, where he worked in building construction. In 1997, he started over-the-road trucking and, in 2004, he and Sheryl started team trucking. He twice earned the Million Mile Safety Award from DeBoer and Weist Trucking. He suffered a heart attack in 2006, and his failing health forced him to retire from trucking. In 2007, he began working at Spee-Dee Delivery as a truck loader at night, where he was still currently working at the time of his death.
Jimbo was old fashioned, with strong work ethics. He enjoyed playing catch with his boys when they were young, reading, history and war movies, throwing horseshoes and could always be found watching Dallas Cowboys football. He liked to get out and walk his dogs and loved spending time with his grandchildren.
He is survived by his wife, Sheryl; three sons: Zachary (Kristen Hoke) Wald of Covington, Va., Blake (Elizabeth) Ketterling of Aberdeen and Phillip (Sonya) Ketterling of Warner; his father, William of Farmington, Pa.; his mother, Mae (Don) Rifenburg of Sunbury, Pa.; two sisters: Kandi Miller of Sunbury, Pa., and Barb Miller of Middleburg, Pa.; two brothers: Tom (Mary Ann) Miller of Sunbury, Pa., and Chuck (Crystal) Miller of Uniontown, Pa.; and 11 grandchildren.
He was preceded him in death by his grandmother, Darlene Miller in December 2010; and one sister, Karen Miller in August 2005.
Carlsen Funeral Home and Crematory of Aberdeen has been entrusted with arrangements.

Torn about these Well they fit great and are super cute, but they have some craftsmanship flaws.1. They're poorly sewn in the legs and one seam was splitting when they arrived. Unfortunately, I had already ripped the tags off so I could not return. Since I cannot sew I used fabric glue to bond the seam together. I hope that works2. The cuff is not sewn in it's just rolled. They didn't bother to sew the cuff which means when I wash them the cuff will come undone unless I take it to an alterations store. Such a shame.Other than those issues the cut, fabric, and fit is awesome. I just wish they wouldn't cut corners and just make some jeans meant to last! I can see me keeping these jeans for a long time and them become my favorite if they don't fall apart at the seams (literally). September 23, 2013

When Push Comes To Shove: Microsoft's EU Proposals
Microsoft has promised the European Commission a "significant change" in attitude and publishes its proposal for the marketing of Internet Explorer in Windows 7. Additionally there's news regarding the GPL publishings.
Microsoft's idea: European versions of Windows 7 PCs are to be completely furnished with Internet Explorer but will, via a "ballot screen", contain the option of installing an alternative browser. The proposal has been announced by Microsoft lawyer and Senior Vice President Brad Smith on the company website, along with a detailed explanation of how Microsoft will meet the demands of the European Competitions Commission regarding IE and interoperability. With Windows 7 due in shops across the continent in October, Microsoft has been shipping Explorer-free versions of the new software since June.
While the EU wasn''t completely convinced with this first attempt, Smith says this might soon change, "We believe that if ultimately accepted, this proposal will fully address the European competition law issues relating to the inclusion of Internet Explorer in Windows." With reference to interoperability of Microsoft with third-party software, the lawyer draws attention to a public announcement last year, explaining who's to be thanked for the change in strategy; "Like the Internet Explorer proposal, the interoperability measures we are offering involve significant change by Microsoft. They build on the Interoperability Principles announced by Microsoft in February 2008, which were also based on extensive discussions with the Commission."
Meanwhile, Sam Ramji, responsible for interoperability at MS, denies that outside influence had anything to do with the recent release of code. After Microsoft placed the virtualization code Hyper-V under GPL, various sources reported infringements of GPL rules, which Ramji in his blog contradicts, saying, "Microsoft chose the GPLv2 license for the mutual benefit of our customers, partners, the community, and Microsoft."

Most major drug makers have enormous cash flows, meager new-medicine pipelines and huge, underutilized sales forces. Lots of small and mid-sized specialty-pharmaceutical and biotech outfits have promising drugs that they find difficult to produce and sell because of strict government manufacturing rules, high marketing costs, and the reluctance of insurers and the government to pay for new and often high-priced treatments.
Could there be a better scenario for more corporate marriages? And for the buyers to pay a nice premium?
Merck & Co. (ticker: MRK) is the most recent casualty of pipeline fatigue: Disappointing trial results for its heralded anticlotting agent, vorapaxar, prompted Wall Street to write off the drug and punish Merck shares.
The big companies are willing to pay up for their smaller brethren because they can use their own sales forces to sell the drugs and slash marketing and overhead at the target company. Pfizer (PFE), may cut about 40% of the overhead at King Pharmaceuticals after its purchase closes in February. Pfizer is paying about 20 times earnings for King, but sees the deal boosting its own profits. Why? The stand-alone profits of a specialty-drug maker understate its earnings potential after it becomes part of a larger company and its costs drop. Ultralow borrowing costs are another plus for buyers.
We've identified 13 promising specialty-drug companies—nearly all of which have at least one product already approved by the Food and Drug Administration—that could prove enticing to the majors.
The 13 each have a stock-market value below $10 billion, making them digestible for buyers. The list includes Alexion Pharmaceuticals (ALXN), Dendreon (DNDN), Human Genome Sciences (HGSI), Cephalon (CEPH) and United Therapeutics (UTHR).
"We foresee the healthy pace of merger activity continuing in 2011, despite the torrid activity of the past five years," wrote Deutsche Bank analyst David Steinberg in a recent research note. He counted 29 deals in 2010 for $75 billion, involving public and private specialty-drug companies. The average premium to the existing stock price paid for public companies last year was about 40%.
"We'll continue to see takeover activity," says Howard Liang, an analyst with Leerink Swann. "Most of these companies have a single drug on the market because it's so hard to develop any product. From an economic perspective, it makes sense to have a sales force sell more than one product."
He sees particular interest among buyers in companies with approved or promising cancer products. In recent years, MGI Pharmaceuticals, OSI Pharmaceuticals and Millennium Pharmaceuticals, all cancer-drug makers, have been snapped up.
Notable specialty-pharma deals last year included Celgene's (CELG) $3.6 billion purchase of Abraxis Bioscience, Astellas Pharmaceuticals' (ALPMF) $3.8 billion deal for OSI, and Pfizer's $3.9 billion purchase of King. Amgen (AMGN) just agreed to pay up to $1 billion for BioVex, a privately held company with a promising cancer product in the final phase of clinical trials.

Some investors take a basket approach to the specialty-pharma group. There are no exchange-traded funds focused on smaller to mid-sized drug companies. The iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology Index Fund (IBB) is dominated by larger companies like Amgen, Teva Pharmaceuticals (TEVA) and Celgene. The $250 million H&Q Life Science Investors Fund (HQL), a closed-end, has some exposure to specialty-drug companies and trades around 11, a 10% discount to its net-asset value.
THE SECTOR IS RISKY for several reasons: Its members' price/earnings ratios generally are high or nonexistent because they're losing money. Takeovers probably will involve only a fraction of sectors. Investor optimism often jumps when a drug gets FDA approval–only to decline if initial sales are disappointing. There also can be controversy about whether an approved drug is particularly effective, or worth its price.
New drugs often target rare conditions and are very expensive, prompting resistance from insurers and other payers. Alexion's Soliris, aimed at a rare blood condition called PNH (paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria), can cost more than $350,000 a year, making it among the most expensive drugs on the market. Cancer treatments like Dendreon's Provenge can run nearly $100,000 per patient.
Liang says that insurers and the government generally will pay for approved cancer drugs that serve "high unmet needs" in patients with advanced cancer that has spread from the original location, even if treatments extend survival by only months. Large pharmaceutical companies used to be wary of buying companies with super-high-priced drugs because of potentially adverse publicity about gouging the sick. But that reluctance is gone. Sanofi-Aventis (SNY) wants to buy Genzyme (GENZ), whose leading drug, for the rare Gaucher disease, in which a missing enzyme threatens organ function, can cost $500,000 a year.
Another problem: Short sellers can bedevil managements of small-drug producers by trying to publicize or bring to regulatory attention any adverse reactions to new drugs. "With one-product companies, this is a real danger," says a long-time drug investor. "The shorts can destroy these companies. They can't do that to Pfizer, because a single drug doesn't matter much to Pfizer." This can make managements more willing to sell.
Still, it's less dangerous playing smaller outfits with approved drugs than those with treatments still awaiting an okay from an increasingly demanding FDA. That's why investors attracted to the sector probably should own a mix of large and smaller companies. The giants–Pfizer, Merck, Eli Lilly (LLY) Amgen, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK)– are out of favor, and trade cheaply, for an average of just 10 times 2011 profits.
JPMORGAN BIOTECH analysts like companies that haven't partnered with larger drug makers—and thus haven't given away much of the profits of their new products—and those with significant room to boost sales via global distribution or through more effective marketing programs. These include Acorda Therapeutics (ACOR), AMAG Pharmaceuticals (AMAG), Dendreon, Human Genome Sciences and United Therapeutics.
Worldwide annual sales of Dendreon's prostate-cancer drug, Provenge, and Alexion's Soliris could top $1 billion in a few years. Those of Acorda's multiple-sclerosis product, Ampyra, could hit $1 billion.
Analyst Liang says that Provenge amounts to personalized medicine. It's designed to boost a patient's immune system to battle advanced prostate cancer. Immune cells are collected from the blood, treated with Provenge, then put back into the patient. It doesn't have the toxic effects of chemotherapy, but extends the survival of patients by four to 25 months, versus those that get standard treatments. Liang says this "incremental improvement" is the nature of most treatments for advanced cancer.
Dendreon shares, at 35, are down from an May 2010 high of 55–reached around the time the drug was approved. Provenge sales last year were under $50 million, and the Street wonders whether they can ultimately top $1 billion annually. A bullish Liang carries a 55 target for Dendreon, and sees Provenge sales potentially hitting $1.5 billion in 2014.
Acorda also has fallen since its MS drug, Ampyra, was approved last year. It now trades around 23, well below its peak of 40. There's debate about Ampyra's sales potential, with bears pointing to adverse side effects and a potential 2017 patent expiration. JPMorgan analysts are bullish on Ampyra. They have a 48 price target on Acorda, and note that Ampyra sales topped $50 million in the third quarter.
History Lesson
These deals, done at varying multiples of the target's annual revenue, hint at what buyers will now pay for drug outfits.

Alexion has been one of the sector's big winners over the past year, rising 86%, to 85, on hopes for Soliris, whose sales rose 40%, to $384 million, in 2010's first nine months. Soliris has been approved for treatment of PNH, a rare and serious blood disease, and investors are hoping that Alexion gets approval to use the drug for another potentially fatal condition known as aHUS, in which small blood clots form in the body and often destroy kidney function.
The stock is richly priced at 36 times projected 2011 profits, but Liang is still bullish on it, arguing that Alexion has high operating leverage, strong profit growth and acquisition appeal.
Cephalon is a value stock, trading at 61, just seven times projected 2011 earnings. The big concern is the 2012 patent expiration of Provigil, a treatment for narcolepsy, or involuntary sleep during the day, as well as among night-shift workers. Provigil generates $1 billion in annual sales, or a third of its parent's revenue. The bull case on Cephalon is that it will get past the patent problem without a huge hit to profits, and that its valuation anticipates a sharp profit drop.
AMAG IS A VALUE STOCK, too. As of Sept. 30, its cash came to $274 million, or 13 a share. That's just four bucks above the 17 it recently was fetching, down from a peak of 51. The stock has been crushed by disappointing sales of Feraheme, an injectable iron supplement, primarily given to people with chronic kidney disease.
AMAG Pharmaceutical's 2011 sales guidance for Feraheme of $55 million to $60 million was way below the consensus estimate. The company is burning cash because it has a modest revenue base but high expenses. It's expected to lose more than $4 a share in 2011. It aims to broaden the patient population for Feraheme. JPMorgan analyst Geoffrey Meacham is bullish, arguing in a client note that expectations now are very low.
Cadence is a play on Ofirmev, an injectable form of acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol. It's designed for use by hospitals to supplement or replace morphine for patients in acute pain, often after surgery.
Cadence shares, at around 7, are down 23% in the past year–giving it a stock-market value of just $474 million—as investors wonder about Ofirmev's commercial prospects. The product has advantages over morphine. It isn't addictive, doesn't have narcotics' side-effects and costs only about $10 a dose.
Deutsche Bank's Steinberg is upbeat on Ofirmev, writing in a client note that annual U.S. sales could hit more than $400 million, although it will take time to win over hospitals. He carries a 12 price target, and writes that Cadence could attract a takeover, given the strong interest in companies with pain therapies.
United Therapeutics has two related drugs–Remodulin and Tyvaso—designed to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension, or PAH, a serious condition involving high blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries, which connect the heart to the lungs. Sales and profits of these expensive pharmaceuticals, which can cost more than $100,000 per patient, have risen sharply. The stock, however, is up only a modest 18% in the past year, to 68. Sales of Remodulin and Tyvaso may reach $715 million this year, up from an estimated $575 million in 2010. Profits could hit $3.50 a share, versus 2010's estimated $2.25.
JPMorgan's Meacham carries a 75 price target on United Therapeutics, arguing that it could get a big lift if it can get approval for an oral form of Remodulin—it currently is taken intravenously, via injection or in an inhaled form—because patients prefer pills.
The whole specialty-pharmaceutical area offers plenty of companies like United Therapeutics that boast novel and effective drugs with sharply rising sales. That's just what big drug companies need, and are increasingly willing to buy.

Choose the tab that says "Arrivals" or "Departures" and -- without choosing any other options -- click "Search Flights."
This comes straight from the database at Tampa International Airport.
As of 9 a.m. Monday, TIA had 53 departing flights and 55 arriving flights cancelled.
Many of them involve airports in Boston, Washington, or similar areas in the northeastern U.S.
But it's not only flights to places like New York or Baltimore that have been impacted. A flight to Houston has been called off, and so have flights from Nashville and Milwaukee coming into Tampa.
Why? It's one of the maybe unexpected ways Sandy could cause us travel troubles here in Tampa.
Airlines aren't just canceling flights -- they're moving planes. Many jets have been flown out of the Northeast to stay safe. That means they're not available for their usual duties.
Think about it: If a plane that's supposed to fly from New York to Tampa on Sunday never makes the trip, it wouldn't be here in Tampa to take a new group of people from Tampa to Houston on Monday.
Untangling that bottleneck could take a few days after the storm has passed.
Expect a huge backlog of passengers. One out of every six Americans lives in that strip from Washington, DC to Boston.
When this storm has passed, there will be thousands of people who are stranded just here in Tampa Bay, waiting to fly back to the Northeast.
So when flights start coming back online -- potentially late Tuesday or during the day Wednesday -- there will be a ton of people who airlines will try to book onto those first planes.
That means travel for the rest of us to the northeastern United States could be hard to come by for several days after Sandy passes through.
The majority of flights coming and going from Tampa are still on schedule, especially if they don't go to the Northeast.
But this is a perfect example of a time when you should check your flight status online or call your airline before you leave for the airport.

Klout Developer Blog
RSS FeedKloutPass: Discover And Recognize Your Influencers
The Klout API is used in a variety of innovative ways. We have integrations with Social CRM systems, Social Analytics and Social Media Managers, as well as a healthy dose of consumer applications. The running thread throughout the majority of the applications running on the Klout Platform is the desire to discover and identify influential individuals across social media platforms. Today, we are introducing KloutPass, a system that allows developers to authenticate and register their users with Klout, enabling them to identify their influence across platforms, and to recognize and reward them. KloutPass releases with a JavaScript SDK enabling a simple integration with a minimum of dev time.
We are building a set of SDKs and libraries for popular platforms and languages (JS, iOS, etc.) to ensure that a KloutPass integration is simple and intuitive for developers of all skill levels. However, as with any oAuth implementation, it's crucial that you understand its specifications, limitations and strengths. We built KloutPass using the OAuth 2.0 v2-25 Draft as a guide. Klout has chosen the implicit and authcode grant patterns for this implementation.
With KloutPass, you will receive a kloutId (their score and an authentication token) for any user that successfully logs in or registers with Klout. Klout allows login with either Sign-in With Twitter or FacebookConnect. Therefore, you can now easily obtain a kloutId for a user, regardless of which network your application has identified them by. This, of course, requires the user to authorize and approve your application. At this time we are not offering any heightened permissions with a token—there are no enhanced scopes. Imagine the features that we can make available in the future with this simple building block. With the V2 Klout API, you can lookup that user by kloutId and get their Klout Score, topics they are influential about, and influence graph.
Users can manage the applications they have authorized in their Klout Settings. Some users may have found this easter egg lying dormant on the new Klout.com design.
For more information about implementing KloutPass, take a look at the sweet documentation. The OAuth API requires separate keys from your V1 or V2 API keys, and we are moderating the approval of keys for KloutPass at this time. Please provide accurate and complete information about your application when generating a key. You can do this on the Mashery Portal. We have also updated our Platform Terms of Service to accommodate these changes.
Thanks go to the KloutPass lead engineer, Jieren Chen.
Feel free to tweet to @harmophone, @KloutPass, or @KloutAPI with any questions.
Privacy is central to what Klout does and enters into every decision and product. KloutPass is no different. We do not provide access to a user's email address or any other personally identifying information through oAuth. The client-side Javascript SDK utilizes some of these elements to signal to the user that the authorization was successful. By using KloutPass, as a developer, you absolutely must adhere to our terms of service, privacy policy, and the terms of any of our data providers.
V1 API Sunset
It always bears repeating: the version 1 API will be retired on December 31st, 2012. All developers are advised to move to the V2 API as soon as possible to minimize disruption. The V2 API is awesome. You should use it. Not only is it on an order of magnitude more performant, we continue to add features to it.
What The New Score Means To Klout Partners
Today, we are launching a significant improvement to the Klout Score, as well as a limited release of our new website design. You can read all about it in detail here on the Klout blog.
Because we value our partners, we would like to give you some insight into how we're handling this in terms of the Partner APIs. The first thing to know is that starting at 10:00 a.m. today, allowing for cache expiration, both the V1 and V2 APIs will report based on this new scoring system. You won't have to do anything different. Here are the major changes:
- This will not break your code.
- The old scoring system will not be available.
- The Score Delta object (V2) will reflect the change.
- The slope, delta-1day, delta-5day fields on /show.json (V1) will reflect the change.
- The deltas will not reflect the change from "old Score" to "new Score." It will reflect the change of "new Score on the prior period" to "new Score today."
We've deprecated a few Klout.com features that are present on the V1 API:
- True Reach
- Network Score
- Amplification Probability
- Klout Style
- These will be frozen, but still returned as of 9-14-2012.
These metrics are only used by less than 4% of our developers and are already not included in the V2 API.
Again, this will not break your code.
Deprecation Schedule
September 14, 2012
In 30 days, September 14, 2012, the True Reach, Network Score, and Amplification Probability will be frozen. This means that from that point forward these values will not change.
December 31st, 2012
The V1 API is scheduled for total shut down on December 31, 2012. You must move your applications to utilize the V2 API before that time. We're here to help. Contact Tyler Singletary [link] to discuss the simplest path. We've developed many convenience methods and strategies to assist in the transition.
Thank you, as always, for being a Klout partner. We're proud of all of the great integrations out there, and we have a lot more coming down the pipe on the API side! Now would be a great time to show off your integration on our Partner Showcase!
Facebook Identity Lookup (by way of third_party_id)
On the heels of our Google+ Identity Lookup, we're pleased to offer our most requested feature since 2011: Facebook lookup. Facebook's Platform Terms of Service (essential reading) prevents Facebook developers from sharing Facebook IDs (fbid). However, we can talk about Facebook users by way of their third_party_id. Third_party_id is an anonymized identifier, allowing Facebook to maintain the privacy of its users. Please keep in mind that we can only match the Facebook identities for which we have authorization.
Facebook and the third_party_id
It behooves developers to read Facebook's original blog post introducing third_party_id. You can use either the Graph API or FQL to retrieve these. The most important thing to know is that third_party_id is an optional field. It's very likely your application is not collecting it yet, and you will need to run a job to retrieve it for all of your current users (and start asking FB for it for future users).
Now that you have it, for each user you can look up their kloutId through our identity resource:
In return, you'll get back a kloutId, which you can use to lookup a user's score, topics, and influencers. You can give it a whirl in our Interactive Documentation.
V1 API Deprecation Reminder
On December 31, 2012 the V1 Klout API will be decommissioned. All developers will need to move to the V2 API as soon as possible.
Keeping In Contact
As always, feel free to tweet or email us with any questions and comments about the API and integrations. Tyler Singletary is available by email and Twitter as @harmophone. Follow @KloutAPI for API announcements, including new releases, downtime, and developer initiatives.
Announcing Google+ Identity Lookup
Since launching the new API in May we're already seeing substantial growth and adoption. Developers are enjoying fantastic low-latency and stability thanks to our more robust backend, and we are hard at work to deliver new features. Today I'm happy to announce that you can now lookup users by their Google+ ID. This marks the first new network we've implemented for lookup in the API and will allow developers to find the top Google+ influencers that have registered with Klout. It's available to all developers using the V2 API.
It's easy to work with, following the pattern we defined for Identity lookups:
In return, you'll get back a kloutId, which you can use to lookup a user's score, topics, and influencers. You can give it a whirl in our Interactive Documentation.
We're looking forward to the new integration possibilities this allows! Speaking of which, we've got a great way for you to share those...
Partner Showcase Now Open To Submissions
The Klout Partner Showcase is now open to submissions. This is your chance to promote your product and show off your killer Klout integration! Join the likes of Salesforce, Reuters, HootSuite, Radian6 and more.
Keeping In Contact
As always, feel free to tweet or email us with any questions and comments about the API and integrations. Tyler Singletary is available by email and Twitter as @harmophone. Follow @KloutAPI for API announcements, including new releases, downtime, and developer initiatives. Also, please keep in mind that the V1 API will be retired on December 31st, 2012.
Klout API v2 Beta and Developer Portal Launch!
During the past six months, we've combed over developer feedback, reports and our own intuition to develop a new version of the Klout API. The new API is a departure from the last version, comprising of an entirely new backend and serving system. To celebrate this, we've refreshed the Developer Portal! In addition, we launched an App Showcase that we'll be opening to partners shortly. Watch the upcoming developer blog, the @KloutAPI Twitter account, and future Developer Newsletters for a more detailed rollout schedule. During the next few months, the API is considered "in beta"; there may be certain breaking changes.
There are some major changes we would like to prepare you for before you're even given access to the new API:
- All resources now require a unique KloutID. To facilitate conversion between a TwitterID/screen_name, there is now an Identity Resource.
- To ensure the highest data availability and the lowest latency, you will no longer be able to make bulk user calls. Rate limits will be increased to compensate.
- XML requests and responses have been deprecated. If this is a dealbreaker, please let us know.
- The Network Score, Amplification Probability, True Reach, and Klout Style properties have been removed.
- We will continue to roll out new features and resources to the API over the next few months.
Tentative Schedule
Please understand that this schedule is subject to change.
- April 9th, 2012 - Invite select partners to test and transition to the new API.
- April 16th, 2012 - Open registration for new API. New registrations for the old API are turned off.
- April 30th, 2012 - Breaking changes to the API will be versioned.
- December 31st, 2012 - API v1 will be turned off. All partners should be using v2.
Signing up for the Beta
We are accepting applications for early access to v2 of the API and processing them at our discretion. Because there might be major changes made during this period, we stress that you are prepared to work with agility to resolve bugs and roll with the changes. If you are interested, email firstname.lastname@example.com with a highly detailed request including the nature of your application, your expected volume, intended audience, and any other details that may be important.
Terms of Service
Our Partner Terms of Service may be modified in the near future to accomodate the new API. We are always working to present the best developer experience for you and us. Please keep in mind that use of the Klout API is bound by both the spirit of our rules (the "Kloutlaws") and by the legal Terms of Service. As with any online service and API, you should know these like the back of your hand.
Keeping In Contact
As always, feel free to tweet or email us with any questions and comments about the API and integrations. Tyler Singletary is available by email and Twitter as @harmophone.

Governor orders flags lowered Sept. 10 to honor Pfc. Shane Cantu of Corunna
Published 6:31pm Sunday, September 9, 2012LANSING — Gov. Rick Snyder has ordered U.S. flags to be lowered to half-staff within the state Capitol Complex and at state buildings, grounds and facilities throughout Michigan in honor of Army Pfc. Shane Cantu, of Corunna, on Monday. Flags should be returned to full-staff on Wednesday, as they will remain lowered on Tuesday in honor of Patriot Day.
Cantu, 20, died Aug. 28 in Afghanistan. He was a member of the U.S. Army, 1st Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team.
"Pfc. Cantu made the ultimate sacrifice in service to this country, and he will forever be remembered as a hero by the community of Corunna and the entire Great Lakes State," Snyder said. "I extend heartfelt condolences to his parents, sisters and entire family during this time."
Cantu was a 2010 graduate of Corunna High School, where he was a three-year starter on the football team. He attended Adrian College before joining the Army, and was based in Germany and Italy prior to service in Afghanistan.
Cantu was awarded the Bronze Star Medal, Purple Heart, Army Commendation Medal and Army Good Conduct Meal posthumously. His other awards and decorations include the National Defense Service Medal, Afghanistan Campaign Medal with Bronze Service Star, Army Service Ribbon, and Overseas Service Ribbon. Cantu received the NATO Medal and Combat Infantryman Badge posthumously. He also received the Parachutist Badge, Combat and Special Skill Badge Basic Marksmanship Qualification Badge and the Overseas Service Bar.
This flag order is in accordance with Executive Order 2006-10, III.B.3. Michigan residents, businesses, schools, local governments and other organizations also are encouraged to display the flag at half-staff.
When flown at half-staff or half-mast, the U.S. flag should be hoisted first to the peak for an instant and then lowered to the half-staff or half-mast position. The flag should again be raised to the peak before it is lowered for the day.

'Geek Speak' is an hour and a half lecture on two non-designated Fridays of the month. The lectures are based on a variety of subject areas.
"I wanted to have lectures that students, especially freshmen, could go to and really get something out of. Generals can be hard to get into and this gives students a chance to listen to a variety of educational lectures," Huse Wika, who is also the director of the University's Honors Program, said.
The lectures are a combination of student and organization requests and proposals by faculty who want to introduce students to diverse areas of research and scholarship in their disciplines.
Huse Wika said there are lectures planned for January and February including: All Great and Small: Representations of Animals in Contemporary Art, hosted by Ann Porter, associate professor of art; My Bloody Valentine: The Psychology of Serial Killers, hosted by Emilia Boeschen, assistant professor of psychology; and Children Beware! Horror Fiction, Fairy Tales, and the Many Forms of Evil, hosted by Laura Colmenero-Chilberg, associate professor of sociology.
During the month of October, the series was titled The Walking Dead. Huse Wika presented a talk on the history of zombies, and Kelly Kirk, BHSU instructor of history, discussed deaths during the Civil War. November's series was titled American Grief. Desy Schoenewies, assistant professor of art, spoke about the slow destruction of urban neighborhoods and landscapes with the expansion of the airport in St. Louis.
"Houses after houses after houses were gone. Airport passengers were dropping, the numbers of people flying into St. Louis were dropping, and they kept building the new airport expansion. They could have stopped at any time, but they didn't," said Schoenewies, talking about the demolition of her hometown of Bridgeton, Mo. "Think about where you grew up, those ice cream shops, those playgrounds, your schools, and now think of it all being gone. I have nothing to go back to, nothing to tell my future children where I came from, nothing."
After the expansion, the St. Louis airport went from the 8th busiest airport to the 31st in the nation. "This whole thing was a gamble with no backup plan," Schoenewies said. "A safe community turned into a scary place."
During the American Grief series, Sasha Pursley, associate professor of history, also spoke about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The lecture coincided with the 50th anniversary of Kennedy's assassination.
Geek Speak is a free lecture series that is offered to all BHSU students, staff, and faculty as well as community members. The lectures start at 4 p.m. For more information contact Huse Wika at 642-6918 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Science Fair Wrap Up
At John's school, participation in science fair is completely optional and family involvement is welcomed (obviously a Kindergartener can't go about this on his own.) John wanted to investigate if bird's like their food to be colored and that we did!
First we made a hypothesis that "Birds will prefer blue bird seed." We backed that up with a couple of nuggets of info from the internet and the made some assumptions that birds can see color, birds must be attracted to certain colors and that birds will probably like blue food the best because it will be the most camouflaged. (This last one came directly from the PCP.)
We purchased three identical bird feeders and filled them each up with bird seed – one regular (our control group), one dyed red and one dyed blue. We used food safe coloring and set to work shaking and scraping the seeds around in gallon sized zip lock bags. The littles adored this phase of the project.
We hung the three feeders in the same tree and each day we measured how much food was left in each one. (Look closely in the second picture – there are two birds dining!)
At the end of a nine day period, the blue feeder was empty and our hypothesis was confirmed...birds do in fact prefer blue bird seed! (I know that there are loads of other considerations that go into play here.)
When we returned from our Savannah trip, we had to get right to work on the display. As much as I wanted to have John write everything out, I knew it would be a battle, take twice as much time as we had and then be barely legible. So he sat with me on the computer and, while we talked through the project, I typed out the steps, assumptions and learnings. He handled presenting the data in chart form (with a little guidance, of course.)
He was so very proud when we went to the school to set up the display. We had a lot of fun checking out some of the other projects as well. I tell you what, by fifth grade I'll be out of my league :-)
Every student gets a ribbon for participation. They wore them to school the next day so that when all the classes toured the cafeteria they could easily identify participants.
And guess what!?!? John won SeCoNd PlAcE for Kindergarten!!! We really had the best time working together on this and I'm so thankful that his first time in science fair was a rewarding and fun experience!
Spring Break 2012 commences in approximately five hours. You'll find me sipping a margarita on a patio somewhere before heading South with the littles, Sister and Bird tomorrow for fun in the sun!!!! But before I go, I have to invite you to pop over and see me at 6th Street Design School today!! Many thanks to Kirsten for the lovely feature!!!

Houzan Mahmoud will soon have a statement on Iraq's Women's Minister Ibtihal Kasid Alzaidi, who thinks and says that women are not equal to men. Not a good thing for a Women's Minister to think.
Feb 14 2012
The Women's Ministry should exist to improve the lives of women
9 comments
This is sad. In every culture there appear some who are happy with being 'the victims eaten last.'
Alzaidi's remarks are not only anti-women, but also anti-men. Typically, they portray men as sexual predators, unable to control themselves unless a woman is totally covered up.
With my western eyes, I agree. But at the same time I see the machiavellian pro-male bias here: saying that allows you to give your sons carte blanche to do horrible things and not punish them. Of course its horribly misogynistic – the folks who would use 'can't help it' as an excuse to let men out of punishment, would almost certainly use 'can't help it' as a reason to lock a woman up. But I guess my point is, the men whose minds you need to change probably don't see it as demeaning so much as liberating. If bigoted men are your target, a better slant might be "unless you teach your sons how to behave, your mother/daughter/wife could be some other boy's next victim."
Yellow Thursday
"unless you teach your sons how to behave, your mother/daughter/wife could be some other boy's next victim."
Some of them would use that as an excuse to stone said mother/daughter/wife. And call it an "honor killing."
As an Islamist, I suppose being anti-woman is part of the description. Why bother with a Minister for Women at all if the goal is not to improve the lives of women?
I meant: 'As an Islamist, I suppose being anti-woman is part of the job description'
Women give birth, how is that inferior? People who promote inequalities are the enemy of those who promote equality, and as such they are the ones who are prejudiced and need a reality check, not those promoting equality.
C. Mason Taylor
eric, #1, here's the problem with agreeing at all:
"…unless a woman is totally covered up."
Again and again and again, it's been shown that covering women up does not work.
Theo Bromine
Women give birth, how is that inferior?
The power that giving birth grants to women is a double-edged sword. It is a power than needs to be controlled and protected – not one that a "mere woman" can be trusted with handling herself. Muslim religious and cultural practice gives control of a woman's sexuality to her father (and random male members of her household) until such time as she can be handed over to her husband. Catholic theology says that "being a (wife and) mother is the highest calling God has for a woman".
Biologically speaking, of course we are all here because our ancestors were successful in breeding, but from a perspective of how to run a society, I certainly do not want my value as a person to be determined by my ability to give birth, even if it somehow grants me superiority.

support a strong international legally binding instrument on mercury that requires governments to implement mandatory action plans for mercury reduction in artisanal gold mining. The action plans should include strategies to end the use of mercury by children and pregnant women working in mining, and public health strategies to address the health effects of mercury poisoning.
In November, HRW reported that Chinese copper mining companies in Zambia routinely violate national and international labor standards [JURIST report]. The report described poor health and safety standards, regular 12-hour and 18-hour work shifts and anti-union activity. Workers also reportedly face the threat of being fired if they refuse to work under unsafe conditions. Although not reported to the government, injuries and health standards are in violation of Zambian and international labor law. In October, the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit [official website] reinstated [JURIST report] a lawsuit by Papua New Guinea [BBC backgrounder] citizens against mining company Rio Tinto [corporate website] on claims of genocide and war crimes. Allowing the suit under the Alien Tort Statute [text], the court ruled that it may proceed due to the Australian mining company's substantial operations in the US.

EOD Roundup
EOD Roundup: Science Gives Gender Essentialism the Ol' One Two Punch
6:30 pm, February 6th | by Colette McIntyre
In today's EOD roundup, a study by psychological researchers found that men and women might not be as vastly different as cheesy sitcoms and dating manuals like to suggest. Men and women have significant overlap on a series of personality traits that many believed to be gender-specific, such as interest in science or empathy for others. Science: FINISH HIM!
