The return of the once-dormant economies of China and India to dynamism and growth is one of the most remarkable stories in recent history. The two countries are home to nearly 40 percent of the world's population, but until recently neither had played an influential role in the contemporary global economy.
In the past two decades, China and India have liberalized internal economic policy, treatment of foreign investment, and trade, and have experienced economic growth at sustained high rates. From the point of view of the United States, however, the most important development in the Chinese and Indian economies in the long term may be the strides they are making in developing their own domestic innovation capacities. After a long period of underinvestment, both countries have committed to growing their science and education systems to bolster research and further economic expansion.
Some observers of the recent growth have said that both countries are surging in their efforts to spur innovation; others have emphasized the potential of one country over the other; and still others have suggested that both China and India have a long way to go before achieving innovation-driven growth. With such a range of views, The National Academies set out to describe developments in both countries, in relation to each other and the rest of the world, by organizing a conference in Washington, D.C. The conference, summarized in this volume, discussed recent changes at both the macroeconomic level and also in selected industries, and explored the causes and implications of those changes.

At every one of my speeches, I say PR people are spammers. That gets everyone's attention so I have an opportunity to explain what I mean.
I get several hundred unsolicited press releases and PR pitches every week. Well over 99% of them are not targeted to me, instead they are sent to me because I am on various PR people's lists because of this blog, because of my books, and because I am a contributing editor to EContent Magazine and have written for a bunch of other publications. I'm getting the identical piece of spam email as hundreds of other poor journalists.
To paraphrase the Wikipedia entry, spam is sending email that is both unsolicited by the recipient and sent in substantively identical form to many recipients.
Chris Anderson, editor-in-chief of Wired Magazine and author of The Long Tail recently lamented that he gets 300 emails a day and he's had it. So he's blocked PR people and has published a list of those blocked on his blog.
Chris says: "So fair warning: I only want two kinds of email: those from people I know, and those from people who have taken the time to find out what I'm interested in and composed a note meant to appeal to that (I love those emails; indeed, that's why my email address is public)."
I couldn't agree more.
At my speaking gigs, after I get people's attention by saying PR people are spammers and describe the worst practices, I also offer ideas how to be successful with the media:
> Read our blogs.
> Comment on our blogs.
> Read our books.
> Read our publications (or watch & listen to our TV & radio shows).
> Attend our speaking gigs.
> Publish your own blog.
> Send well-crafted, personal email telling us something that is interesting and helpful.
I kind of like the idea of blocking the PR people who spam and naming names on this blog...

RJ Corman lost his battle with cancer today. He was 58.
Corman is the founder and owner of RJ Corman Railroad Group, which he turned into a multi-million dollar company. The company is based in Nicholasville, but employs more than 1,100 people in 22 states across the country.
Corman's visitation is Sunday, August 25th from 1:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
His funeral service is Monday, August 26th at 4:00 pm. The front gate will be open at 2:30 pm.
Visitation and services will be located in Hangar 1 on the property of R. J. Corman Railroad Group, 101 R. J. Corman Drive, Nicholasville, KY.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Richard Corman Research Fund in Multiple Myeloma / Dana-Farber Cancer Institute / PO Box 849168 / Boston, MA 02284-9168.
Corman was known for his successful business and giving spirit. He and his company were the largest philanthropic supporters of Saint Joseph Hospital.
"Rick Corman and his legacy are so important to the Saint Joseph Hospital Foundation and his friendship was very special for us," said Barry A. Stumbo, President and CEO, Saint Joseph Hospital Foundation.
Corman was first diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer that impacts the body's plasma cells 12 years ago.
UK Coach John Calipari sent out a tweet today saying, "I'm not in the frame of mind to talk about it right now, but I will shortly. Rest in peace, my good friend."
Later Calipari wrote on his website, "Rick was one of the absolute smartest and most humble people that I have ever met in my life. I'm going to miss him dearly."
Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell said, "He was one of the most remarkable people I have known and he never forgot where he came from or the lessons he learned about hard work and honesty. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Rick's family and friends. He will be missed."
"By any definition Rick was the American success story...up-from-the-bootstraps, an unforgettable character, with a vigorous charitable, spirit and unshakeable passion for life. He will be missed," said Lexington Major Jim Gray.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - George McGovern once gave his daughter a bookend made out of soapstone in the shape of a bear. It was a symbol of the "Terr the bear" nickname he often called Teresa, who froze to death in a snow bank near a bar where she'd been drinking.
The figure is one of many deeply personal items belonging to the late South Dakota senator and presidential candidate that are going up for sale starting Saturday at McGovern's Sioux Falls home. McGovern died at the age of 90 in October.
Furniture, books, artwork and other personal possessions owned by George McGovern and his wife Eleanor will be among the items auctioned.
Deb Sorensen, who is helping to run the estate sale, says the items range from $1 to thousands of dollars.

Shopper gets leg up at Carolina auction
MAIDEN, N.C. - A man who bought a smoker Tuesday at an auction of abandoned items might have thought twice had he looked inside first. Maiden police said the man opened up the smoker and saw what he thought was a piece of driftwood wrapped in paper. When he unwrapped it, he found a human leg, cut off 2 to 3 inches above the knee.
The smoker had been sold at an auction of items left behind at a storage facility, so investigators contacted the mother and son who had rented the space where the smoker was found.
The mother explained her son had his leg amputated after a plane crash and kept the leg following the surgery. The mother said her son plans to drive to Maiden, about 35 miles northwest of Charlotte, to reclaim his amputated leg, police said.

The hugely talented Launchbury is in line to win his first England cap this weekend against Fiji, having been rewarded with a call-up following his excellent start to the season.
Director of Rugby Dai Young said: "This is fantastic news for us and it is a huge signing for the Club. It gives a real shot in the arm to all of our players and coaches as it's a vote of confidence in what we are trying to do here and I am sure our supporters will be over the moon that someone of Joe's quality has signed on for the foreseeable future."
Launchbury's rapid progression at the highest level of the game comes following the huge impact he has made at London Wasps since joining the Club from Worthing, on the advice of ex-player Will Green in the 2009/10 season.
The 21-year old has made 33 senior appearances since and features regularly at both lock and blindside flanker.
Joe was also part of Stuart Lancaster's England senior squad for the summer tour earlier this year to South Africa. He made his debut in an uncapped game for England against the Barbarians at Twickenham and cruelly he was forced to return home from South Africa before even the first training session after a knee injury ended his summer.
Launchbury said: "I had no hesitation in extending my deal. There are some really good players for me to learn from here in our pack and I feel very confident with the talent we have here in the squad and the coaching set up that we are part of something that is really building in a positive direction."

What would you do if you have 104 days of summer vacation? Build a rocket? Fight a mummy? Surf a tidal wave? Find a dodo bird?
Too bad we aren't kids anymore. Wasn't summer vacation just the best? All that free time to dream up crazy adventures to go one. Disney's Phineas and Ferb features two crazy boys who love to do all kinds of crazy stuff on their summer break. If you haven't watched it with your kids yet, you should. It is one of my favorite kid shows. The two boys are hysterical and the villain Heinz Doofenshmirtz is delightfully wicked.
Most of our Phineas and Ferb pajama pants and boxer shorts feature Agent P. Agent P lives a double life. His "normal" persona is as Perry the Platypus the pet of the Flynn-Fletcher family. However, Perry lives a secret double life as a secret agent for the "Organization Without a Cool Acronym" under the codename Agent P.
If you love the Phineas and Ferb cartoon and Agent P, we think that you will love the cool pj pants and boxers. They also will make a great gift.

SAN BRUNO, Calif. – (December 9, 2013 - www.GoZags.com) Gonzaga University women's basketball junior forward Sunny Greinacher was tabbed West Coast Conference Player of the Week.
Greinacher helped No. 24 Gonzaga to three wins last week as the Bulldogs improved to 7-1 overall. Greinacher reached double-figures in all three games and averaged 14.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.7 assists per game, while shooting a blistering 59.4 percent (19-32) from the field. She also was a perfect 4-of-4 at the charity stripe.
Greinacher started the week scoring a then-season high 14 points - on 7-of-11 shooting - in the Zags victory over Fairfield University. She also had four rebounds, two steals, one block and one assist in 23 minutes of play. She followed with a 10-point, eight-rebound performance against Portland State University.
She saved her biggest game for last as she tallied a season-high 18 points and a career-high 14 boards (7 offensive) in helping the Zags earn a one-point road victory over Ohio State University on Sunday. Greinacher had 10 points in the final half against the Buckeyes, and added three blocks and two assists. The double-double is Greinacher's first of her career.

Cacciatore /ˌkɑːtʃəˈtɔəriː/ means "hunter" in Italian. In cuisine, alla cacciatora refers to a meal prepared "hunter-style" with tomatoes, onions, herbs, often bell pepper, and sometimes wine. Cacciatore is popularly made with braised chicken (pollo alla cacciatora) or rabbit (coniglio alla cacciatora). The salamino cacciatore is also a small salami, popular amongst Italians.
There are many different variations of this dish based upon ingredients available in specific regions. For example, in southern Italy, cacciatore often includes red wine, while northern Italian chefs might use white wine.
A basic cacciatore recipe usually begins with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil heated in a large frying pan. Chicken parts, dusted with salt and pepper, are seared in the oil for three to four minutes on each side. The chicken is removed from the pan, and most of the fat poured off. The remaining fat is used to fry the onions, peppers or other vegetables for several minutes. A small can of peeled tomatoes (drained of liquid and coarsely chopped) is added to the pan along with rosemary and a half cup of dry red wine. Adding a bay leaf is recommended, a chopped carrot to give extra sweetness. The seared chicken parts are returned to the pan which is then covered. The dish is done after about an hour at a very low simmer. Cacciatore is often served with a rustic bread or pasta on the side.

Best Value In Provo
Review submitted: June 13, 2011 Date of arrival: May 1, 2011
"Best Value In Provo" My husband and I, and our 15-month old daughter and our babysitter stayed here May 1 - May 10. We had a wonderful time, and would highly recommend this place to anyone. During the first week, we stayed in the Jasmine Villa, and the remaining three days we stayed in the Magnolia villa. VILLA: The Jasmine was perfect for us, especially with a child, since the balcony doesn't have any stair access. My favorite things about the villa were the high ceilings with fans which gave it an island feel, and the two glass walls that open up entirely to a goregeous balcony with a great view. There is outdoor seating on the balcony and we spent alot of time out there. The kitchen is very large and is stocked well enough for the basic cook. The walk to the beach is about 100 yards and is nicely lined with tiles and lovely landscaping. The beach out front (Smiths Reef) is quite nice, and has great snorkeling down the beach. BEACHES: Grace Bay beach is nice, its the beach with all of the hotels and restaurants on it. RESTAURANTS: Mango Reef was delicious and has amazing ambience. I ordered tuna but my husband ordered a pasta dish that was fabulous. Hemingways for lunch was awesome. It sits right on the beach and had wonderful food selections and tasted great. Coco Bistro was probably my favorite, because the setting is impeccable. Even though its not situated on the water, it is in the middle of a grove of palm trees and is just lovely. Make sure you make a reservation though. The best was the tuna tartar appetizer. Mmmmmm. Da Conch Shack is a MUST for cracked conch. The setting is great too. The bars we had a drink at were also wonderful. Anacaona at Grace Bay Club was super swanky and gorgeous, and Marin at The Veranda was just beautiful as well. For a quick bite, the Green Bean in Turtle Cove was amazing, and the Sharkbite & Tiki Hut were nice as well. THINGS TO DO: We chartered the Beluga with another couple and it was the highlight of our vacation. Captain Tim was awesome, very knowledgeable and we had an amazing time snorkeling and sailing around the islands. We paid $700 for the four of us and got on the boat about 2:30 pm, snorkeled, sailed, had some drinks and snacks, watched the sunset and got back in around 7:30. It was worth every penny. Overall, wonderful trip. Luz, the grounds keeper at the villa, was a gem. Make sure to tip her well, she workds hard! Grand Rapids, MI

Back In Beautiful Provo
Review submitted: June 13, 2011 Date of arrival: May 7, 2011
"Back in beautiful Provo!!" My wife and I returned to Provo for our 20th anniversary......we were married there in 1991 and have not been back till now. The island has undergone a tremendous surge in hotel and upscale home building since then, however Atlantic Ocean Beach Villas is a hidden jewel. The property is meticulous and the villas are exceptionally well equipped. We have four children ranging in age from 5 to 15, who felt quite relaxed and at home from day one. The street has private security and we saw very few cars on any given day during our 2 week stay. The description on their web site does not do justice to the property. We were so pleased with our experience that we will definitely return, likely without children the next time, and recommed this location to anyone looking to travel to Provo. The value is unbelievable. Stayed May 2011, traveled with family. Midland, Canada

We Will Be Back
Review submitted: June 13, 2011 Date of arrival: May 7, 2011
"Ww Will Be Back" We stayed in the largest unit, the Ocean Vista, which takes up the entire 2nd floor of a two story beach house. We had two different groups of neighbors below us and no noise from them. We had a 360 degree wraparound deck and our group of 5 (plus a visiting couple at another condo) spent most of our time on the deck. Not a mosquito or bug in sight, which really surprised us. Could be because there is always a slight breeze, but the temperature a(in the high 70's to 80) varied only slightly all day and night. The unit also provides a kayak for your use and snorkel equipment. There is free wifi in the house and on the deck.The two bedrooms and beds were comfortable. This unit was particularly good for entertaining which was great as we were there as parents of a bride who was getting married at the Bay Bistro Restaurant (which is also just a short drive, and recommended for a casual beach side wedding). Since we had a large group, it was great to have several restaurants, including a very good Italian restaurant called Baci which were walking distance. This unit is about 15 minutes from the airport. The owners have someone waiting at the villa for your arrival. The folks that come to do a "light clean" daily are very helpful. Whenever we asked for anything (more paper towels, an iron, more scuba equipment) they responded immediately. We have travelled to lots of beaches all over the world and we think that this one is the best (unless you like waves). The snorkeling and kayaking are great, right off our beach, there isn't a rock to stumble over when you take long walks (we walked over 5 miles), the beach is completely quiet and serene and the sunrises and sunsets can both be seen from the deck. Stayed May 2011, traveled with family

We Loved Orchid Villa
Review submitted: June 13, 2011 Date of arrival: June 3, 2011
"We LOVED Orchid Villa!" My husband stayed at the Orchid Villa June 3rd-June 8th, 2011. Orchid Villa was everything we expected and more. It was so wonderful, clean, comfortable and beautiful. Luz and Joe keep the grounds and villas so nice and fresh! They are super friendly. It was quiet and peaceful and the beach was so pretty. The walk to the beach was wonderful with pretty landscaping all around. If we ever get to go back to Turks & Caicos, we will stay at Orchid Villa again. We felt like we were "at home" there. Room Tip: You can't go wrong with any of these villas! Stayed June 2011, traveled as a couple. Texarkana, Arkansas

The property sits across the road from the beach but access is fast and easy. The beach is private. The property itself is clean and beautiful. Walking distance from many rstaurants and the Turtle Cove Marina. The grounds and housekeeping is unparalleled. Luz and Joe were accommodating and friendly.

"Awesome Vacation"
Atlantic Ocean Beach Villas
Neenah, WI
Posted on TripAdvisor on Feb 4, 2010
My husband and I stayed at Hibiscus Villa at Atlantic Ocean Beach Villas. It was our first time visiting the Turks and Caicos. We can not wait to go back!
This villa was a perfect choice for us. We loved the quiet location. It is away from the big Grace Bay resort area. But still only a few minute drive from all the restaurants & shops. It is located in the Turtle Cove area which is a very quiet area.
Hibiscus is a ground floor villa and literally next to the pool. I believe the upstairs villa wasn't rented for most of our stay. The last 2 nights there was a little noise coming from upstairs but not terrible.
We found the villa very comfortable and had every amenity we needed.
Our favorite part was the short walk to the beach. Beautiful beach and never ever crowded. Usually no one else in sight. There is a reef right in front of the hotel which had some nice snorkeling.
Luz met us when we arrived to "check in" and she was great all week. I think she lives on site and emptied our garbage & made the bed everyday for us.
We believe that Atlantic Ocean Beach Villa is truly a hidden gem and we will definitly stay there next time we visit Provo. Feel free to contact me with any questions!

My husband and I spent 7 days at Atlantic Ocean Beach Villas. It was the most amazing and relaxing vacation we had ever been on! The villa is located directly on the Atlantic Ocean and beach. We were on the second floor (the villa only had 2 floors) and had amazing views of the beach and ocean. I loved sitting outside every morning and evening on the porch overlooking the beautiful ocean...so peaceful and relaxing. Even though we were there for relaxation, I still had to touch base with my work. I was able to also do this sitting outside on the porch or inside at the table because of the internet access that was provided. I thought it would cost a fortune, but then I found out there was no charge! I was glad I brought our laptop!
Although it was just my husband and I, the villa was large enough for more. It was nice having a second bathroom, even with just the 2 of us. We really didn't use the kitchen for meals, as we always ate out. But it was nice to have because we went to the grocery store and bought a bunch of snacks, soda, etc.
There is a coral reef located directly in front of the villa. It was great snorkeling and the snorkeling equipment was even provided in the villa at no charge. We also walked to the casino which was just a few minutes away. There were nice restaurants and a marina all within a walking distance as well. We didn't rent a car, but there is a taxi service that will take you anywhere you need to go at anytime.
I would definitely recommend Atlantic Ocean Beach Villas to everyone. It was a worry free and hassle free vacation right on the ocean! I can't wait to go back!

"The Perfect Vacation - Relaxing and Romantic"
Atlantic Ocean Beach Villas
Posted on TripAdvisor on Jan 10, 2010
My husband and I stayed in one of the villas in December 2009. They had just renovated all of the villas and I must say they did an awesome job. Our Villa had 2 bedroom and 2 bathrooms which was more than we needed. The full kitchen had everything you could think of. There was even a grille outside on the beach for us to use. Each morning we woke up to the sound of the Atlantic Ocean, this was so relaxing and romantic. We spent a lot of time right on the beach outside of our villa since they had scuba gear free for us to use during our trip. There was a coral reef right in front of our villa so we saw a bunch of great fish and sea life.
At night we spent a lot of time just sitting in the beach chairs sipping on wine and watching the falling stars. It was amazing!! We ate at several restaurants in the area and had great food at all of them. There are so many choices it was hard to pick which restaurant to try.
On the last day of our trip we went on a horseback ride down the beach. This is something I have never done, but would definitely do it again.
There is a lady named Luz that brings fresh towels and supplies and cleans the villa, she is great and gave us everything we needed.
We found that the price was alot lower than the other villas or hotels in the area and offered the same or more for the money. We can't wait to go back!

Atlantic Ocean Beach Villas
My girlfriend and I recently spent seven days at Atlantic Ocean Beach Villas in the "Oceans Edge Beachfront Villa". This villa is located on the first floor of an amazing two story unit. There is a top villa too in which our friends were staying.
We took a flight from Miami to Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands. It was about a ten minute drive from the airport to the villa. When we arrived, the villa attendant, Luz, was waiting for us. She was very nice, took our bags and showed us where we would be staying. The moment I stepped out of the car I was smiling! This place is breath taking! Luz showed us around the villa; it has two bedrooms, two full baths, a living room, full kitchen, a porch outside and fantastic beach views! This villa is directly on the beach, I mean right outside the door! After the tour, Luz answered any questions we had and then made her way out so we could continue our vacation. We quickly settled in and found a music CD waiting for us. It was hundreds of island songs which we played whenever we were in the villa, a very nice touch and good souvenir to help us reminisce! The beach and water are exactly like in the pictures, perhaps even better then the pictures. The sand is soft, the water is warm, VERY clear and clean and the beach is very private. Snorkel gear was located at the villa so we didn't need to buy/bring any. It was good equipment and whenever I had the opportunity my time was spent in the water! I am a scuba diver, though I did not dive on this trip, I did plenty of snorkeling! No need to dive, there is lots of great live reef directly in front of the villa and on both sides. Saw many interesting fish though the most spectacular thing I saw was a loggerhead turtle. It is an endangered species and I was able to swim right next to/over it for several minutes before he sped away. The weather was great; everyday was just about 80 degrees, drizzled for about 3 minutes and quickly blew over. It was not humid, dry or too hot. We usually had the windows/doors open and got a good constant breeze. The villa does have air which we often turned on when we went to bed. One of the most spectacular things about our trip was stargazing at night. There are plenty of beach lounge chairs right in front of the villa which recline all the way back. We spent hours every night out there looking at stars. Before this trip, I had no idea how beautiful and star filled the sky really is.

We visited the Turks back in May and stayed at the Villas. The villas were super clean and had a woman there to keep it that way. My boyfriend and I stayed on the lower level and we had some friends stay upstairs. The beach is AMAZING and very private. We sat on the lawn chairs on the beach every single night we were there to watch TONS of shooting stars! We went to several restaurants during our stay and each time the food was more amazing then the last. There's a place called the Tiki Hut within walking distance. I recommend the West Indies Chicken! There was a lot of foliage at the villas which I loved and like the other reviews said, the coral reefs are just steps into the water right out front of the villa so snorkeling was a must. And thank heavens they provide gear because I certainly didn't plan for that! We are absolutely making plans to visit again in hopefully the near future!

Cooper fury at Thompson ban and Ranger doubtful for JPT tie
5:00am Saturday 15th February 2014 in Sport By Sam Morshead
SWINDON Town manager Mark Cooper was left fuming at referee Darren Sheldrake's decision to book Nathan Thompson for "adopting an aggressive attitude" during last night's goalless draw with Colchester United.
Thompson was shown his 10th yellow card of the campaign in the 70th minute at the County Ground, meaning the right-back will now have to serve a two-game suspension with no possibility of appeal.
Cooper was informed by Sheldrake that the defender was cautioned for his body language during an incident which saw U's midfielder Sanchez Watt dismissed for aiming a headbutt in his direction and the Town boss was livid in his post-match press conference.
"It's an atrocious decision," he said. "At the time I saw and it thought 'he hasn't done anything' and for the referee to tell me he's booked him for adopting an aggressive attitude – now what is that?
"For me that's going to punch someone or going to headbutt someone, not walking away with your hands up to protect your face. I'm going to go and see the referee, ask him to look at the DVD and explain it to me. We can't appeal a yellow card, it's ridiculous. It's shocking.
"I've got my boots, I can play right-back, kick one or two and away we go."
Meanwhile, Nile Ranger is now rated "doubtful" by Cooper ahead of the visit of Peterborough United in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy southern section area final second leg on Monday night, after picking up a hamstring injury.
Ranger was forced off with the problem just before half-time last night and will be assessed by the Swindon medical staff this morning.
Cooper cut a frustrated figure at the end of the stalemate with Colchester, saying: "We dominated it from start to finish. I'll have an argument with anyone who says we didn't. We deserved to win but you have to put the ball in the back of the net."
Finally, Town yesterday confirmed Miles Storey's loan move to Shrewsbury Town – as revealed by the Advertiser, with Cooper saying: "He's been pestering may and rightly so that he wants to play, and he's got a fantastic opportunity to go to Shrewsbury. Let's see how he does."

Rockies battery to face off in Futures Game
Friedrich to pitch for U.S; Rosario to catch for World squad
DENVER -- Left-handed pitcher Christian Friedrich and catcher Wilin Rosario are a formidable battery combination for the Rockies' Double-A affiliate in Tulsa, but they'll be on opposite sides in the 12th annual XM All-Star Futures Game during All-Star weekend in Anaheim.
Friedrich, who turns 23 on July 8 and was the Rockies' top Draft pick in 2008 out of Eastern Kentucky, will pitch for the U.S. team. Rosario, 21, is on the roster of the World squad. The U.S. vs. World game will be July 11 at 5 p.m. MT at Angel Stadium.
The 12th annual Futures Game can be seen live on MLB.TV, ESPN2 and ESPN2 HD and followed live on MLB.com's Gameday. In addition, XM Radio will broadcast play-by-play coverage of the event live on XM 175. MLB.com will also provide complete coverage before, during and after the game.
Friedrich was ranked 23rd on the MLB.com Top 50 Prospect list going into this season. After impressing the Rockies' staff during a brief Spring Training stint, Friedrich has gone 0-5 with a 4.58 ERA in 10 starts for Tulsa. He has 45 strikeouts against 20 walks.
Rosario completed his first full Minor League season in 2009, and was a standout performer in the Arizona Fall League. This year, he was the youngest player at Rockies Major League camp. Rosario is hitting .264 with eight home runs and 23 RBIs at Tulsa.

This undoubtedly has nothing to do with the Indians, as they will not be signing Masahiro Tanaka, but it piqued my interest nonetheless:
The president of Tanaka's Japanese club, the Rakuten Golden Eagles, said at a news conference this week that Tanaka wishes to make donations to improve the Eagles' stadium and its facilities for players and fans.
The agreement between MLB and Nippon Professional Baseball expressly prohibits a Japanese club from getting any value other than the so-called posting fee, directly or indirectly, including through the player, MLB spokesman Pat Courtney said.
"We are intent on enforcing all the provisions of the agreement," Courtney said.
For those who are unaware of the details regarding Tanaka and why the background of this story, here's a quick rehash. Masahiro Tanaka is one of the best pitchers in NPB (Nippon Professional Baseball), Japan's top professional league, and he's eligible to play in MLB at just 25 years of age. MLB and NPB just recently agreed to change the way eligible NPB players are posted, and the agreement will greatly reduce the amount of money going to the player's former club. Instead of a blind auction for the privilege of negotiating with the player, the player is a free agent once his club agrees to post him. And the posting fee that goes to the player's club, which before had no maximum, is now capped at $20M.
Let's look a recent example to more fully explain the differences. Two years ago Yu Darvish was posted, and the Rangers won the blind bidding with a $51.7M bid, and signed Darvish to a contract worth $56M. The $51.7M did not count against the luxury tax.
Tanaka is not considered as good as Darvish, but I think he's on par if not better than Ubaldo Jimenez, Ervin Santana, and Matt Garza the top remaining starting pitchers on the market. Tanaka's current club will likely get $20M, and Tanaka himself should get a contract far surpassing the one Darvish received. The total dollars spent by whoever lands Tanaka will probably be less than the total dollars spent by the Rangers in landing Darvish (post fee + contract), but the player will be getting a much bigger cut and the club a much small one. Hence Rakuten's reluctance to post him.
And hence MLB's strong response to reports that Tanaka would make a "donation" to his former team once he joins MLB. The new agreement hurts the NPB clubs the most, especially ones with potential superstars. A $50M+ posting fee would have been a huge windfall for Rakuten. In 2009 (for example), the team with the highest payroll in NPB was the Yomiuri Giants, with a US Dollar equivalent of $45.3M. Rakuten in 2009 had a $20.74M payroll.
In some ways the relationship between MLB and NPB is similar to the one between MLB and the minor-league clubs at the beginning of the 20th century. At that time there were agreements between major-league and minor-league clubs, but the clubs were independent of each other. The minor-league clubs would stay afloat financially by selling some of their good players to major-league clubs, or they could keep them with the hopes of getting their revenue through the box office. Earl Averill, who would go on to have a Hall of Fame career with the Indians, didn't debut until the age of 27 because the San Francisco Seals were getting more than enough money at the box office to stay in the black because of Averill's play. Eventually the Indians paid San Francisco $50,000, a huge sum in those days, to acquire Averill.
Under the old posting system, Rakuten wouldn't have thought twice about posting Tanaka, because the money they'd receive from the winning bid would be more than enough to offset any lost revenue from losing Tanaka. But now that the posting fees are capped, it's going to be a more difficult decision for teams with potential future MLB stars. Keep in mind, though, that once a NPB player accrues nine years of service time, he can become a free agent and sign with any team, whether in the NPB or MLB, so Tanaka would have eventually been able to go to the US after the 2015 season, but would have a lost a lot of potential career earnings in the process.
The new posting system, and particularly the posting fee cap, ostensibly will help small and mid-market clubs with landing players from NPB, but for the stars such as Tanaka, it's almost certain that a large-market club will land him. Although the posting fee bids are capped, the player can negotiate a contract with any club that meets the posting fee set by the NPB club. So if the Indians for instance bid $20M for Tanaka but the Dodgers and Red Sox also bid $20M, the chances of the Indians landing him would be almost infinitesimal. But the deal does hurt clubs already close to the luxury tax threshold, specifically the New York Yankees, so I suppose that's a small consolation.
But yesterday's development is another outcome of the new agreement. Essentially it appears that Tanaka either explicitly or implicitely agreed to pay his old club a kickback once he got his big contract, and MLB's shock that this would happen reminds one of a certain poor corrupt official in a famous movie:

The threat of militant atheism is that they seek to marginalize Christianity (or Christians) in general and conservative Christianity (or Christians) in particular.
Atheists are not only a small minority with little power or influence, but they are also the most despised and distrusted minority in America. This makes them unlikely oppressors of Christians, a majority standing behind the levers of power in society, but this is what many Christians believe. They insist that there is a cabal of godless atheist secularists trying to marginalize Christians and Christianity. These feelings of alienation are genuine, but their target for blame is inaccurate.
Christianity (and by extension, Christians themselves) are suffering something of an identity crisis in America today. There was a time when conservative Christianity defined the basic boundaries, choices, and behaviors of people throughout America, including non-Christians, because it defined the assumptions and structure of most public institutions, public culture, and American politics. This is no longer the case, and Americans are increasingly able to just ignore Christianity.
Christians and Christianity are no longer explicitly and overtly privileged in culture, politics, or society generally. There is now greater attention being paid to other religions, other traditions, and other philosophies. American culture is now far more complex than it used to be and many Christians are frustrated because they feel alienated from what they think America should be. Many of these Christians grew up in an American culture which was simpler and more overtly Christian on every level. They were used to their traditions, their beliefs, and their people dominating throughout society.
This bothers many Christians because it represents a separation of their basic identities: at one time being an American and being Christian were combined, but today they are becoming increasingly separated. Christians want someone or something to blame for this and many have latched on to atheism, secularists, and godless liberals but they are wrong. Atheists are being blamed because they are among those who most obviously benefit from these developments, just as Jews were once blamed for all the ills of modernity and the Enlightenment because they so obviously benefited form liberalism, emancipation, and democracy.
Christians today remain a majority in America generally and in most communities. For many, this is viewed as a reason why their religion should continue to dominate. They believe that a majority should generally get whatever it wants and thus you'll often find them defend their position on various legal or cultural conflicts in that way: if most people in a community believe a certain thing, celebrate a certain day, or want the government to do something, then that's what should happen. The concept of "tolerance" is restricted: the majority only has to tolerate the minority insofar as they aren't eliminated, kicked out, or suppressed. The minority, however, has to tolerate the majority's exercise of legislative power to do as they will.
It's not marginalization when stores or communities broaden their terminology to talk about "holidays" at the end of the year rather than single out just Christmas for special promotion or endorsement. Even Christians celebrate more than one holiday during this time, so they aren't being excluded yet they complain about the failure to use greetings and words which do exclude others. In effect, some people's complaints about being marginalized are really complaints about how they are unable to continue marginalizing others.
It's also not margingalization when the government is prevented from promoting, supporting, or endorsing the beliefs, scriptures, or practices of Christians. The government is prevented from doing this with all religions, not just Christianity, so insisting on a strict separation of church and state simply means insisting that Christianity and Christians be treated like everyone else. Christians who complain about this are complaining about not being privileged over all others.
Thus what we have is the ironic situation in which some Christians are complaining about being marginalized because they are denied the social, political, or cultural power to marginalize everyone else. This is a power which Christian majorities used to have, but American society is far more inclusive and equal today, so this power has disappeared in many situations. It's not that Christians themselves are marginalized, but rather that they have been put on an equal level with everyone else. They are no longer privileged or told that they are better than everyone else. That's not marginalization, it's equalization, and it's definitely something which atheists fight for.

After speaking at the 2010 National Highway Safety Conference Alex Sorohan was approached by a woman who later she would learn, had begun working for MTV's It Can Wait Campaign. MTV was looking for young people that had been affected by texting while driving and the woman thought of Alex's story. Alex joined 15 other affected teens. Eventually, the list was narrowed down to three and Alex was among the final three. "It was a completely different experience than I've ever had," said Alex. "I've been interviewed by news people multiple times but this was so much bigger." In July, a crew from MTV arrived at the Sorohan's home in Rutledge. Alex and her mother Mandi described their first encounter with the crew. The crew wanted to see everything so the family showed them around the house. Their equipment consumed the home filling up their entire living room. Alex went on to describe how the producer and director sat down to interview her before coming up with different scenes to shoot for the PSA. "I think it was kind of their goal to really get to know us, our family and our story before they even decided what to do," said Alex. Alex's brother Caleb was killed in a tragic car accident in 2009. Caleb was home for his winter break from college. He was texting while driving when he swerved lanes hitting another car head on. "I think they had an idea of the theme for it because they knew the work I had done," said Alex. The work that Alex is referring to is the time after her brother's death when her family and friends had come together to lobby for a law that would ban texting and driving in the state of Georgia. Caleb's Law was passed five months after his death. After the law was passed, the Sorohan family turned their attention to bringing awareness to the dangers of texting and driving. Alex and her younger brother Griffin have traveled across the country speaking at schools and conferences. Alex's It Can Wait PSA features images of her at the state capital petitioning for the law, as well as scenic shots from Rutledge. The video captures pictures of Caleb, the roadside memorial, and the Sorohan family coming together as Alex encourages people to sign the pledge to not text and drive. "It's hard to believe that they put that much into making a one minute video," said Mandi Sorohan. "They were really good at making us feel comfortable." Mandi described how by the end of the two days, the family felt a tie to the crew. As the crew said their goodbyes each member thanked the family for sharing their story. "I usually have a hard time liking seeing myself on tv, or hearing myself on a phone interview, but I really enjoyed what they made of it," said Alex. "I think they picked the absolute most perfect things and put them together in the perfect way. I definitely commend them."

Project Description
The field school focuses primarily on the excavation of an historic site, but includes training in all basic archaeological skills applicable to prehistoric and historic sites. The site is a 19th century frontier military outpost.
The field school offerssix credits in history or archaeology at the graduate or undergraduate level. Training is provided in a number of areas:
In 1848, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo officially ended the Mexican War and the lands of Southern Colorado, including the San Luis Valley, were ceded to the United States. The San Luis Valley was already the location of several Hispanic settlements that represented the northernmost reaches of the Mexican frontier in this region. Five years later, the United States Government established a military presence in the San Luis Valley with the construction of Fort Massachusetts. This fort was occupied for approximately five years before it was relocated further south and renamed Fort Garland. Those five years represent a period of poorly documented changes for the US military. Many of the details we would like to know about that time are only contained in the archaeological record, a record that is particularly well preserved at the Fort Massachusetts site.

HOPEDALE, Mass. (AP) - A Worcester assistant district attorney and former candidate for state representative was arrested on a drunken driving charge last weekend.
The Worcester Telegram reports that Gina DiBaro was arrested by Hopedale police on Sunday after driving erratically and failing several field sobriety tests.
In a police report, an officer said DiBaro briefly drove away in the middle of the stop and appeared disoriented.
The 43-year-old DiBaro was released on personal recognizance after her arraignment Monday.
A spokesman for the Worcester District Attorney's office said DiBaro has been placed on unpaid administrative leave.
DiBaro ran unsuccessfully in 2010 for the Democratic nomination in the 13th Worcester District.
The answering machine at a listing for DiBaro was full Tuesday and no request for comment could be left.

Mahalia Jackson had to earn her status as the "The Queen of Gospel." From age 4 to age 60 she performed relentlessly in public, beginning as a church singer in the Plymouth Rock Baptist Church in New Orleans and ending after she collapsed following her last show in Munich. She spread God's word with her heavenly, soaring voice on over 30 albums as she took the gospel out of the church and brought it into the homes of millions.
Jackson fought for the ideals of the songs that she so beautifully sang. She was a prominent civil rights advocate who took part in the Mississippi Bus Boycott and sang at rallies. She was an energizing force to black New Orleanians who watched Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, as it was her who implored King, who planned short remarks of the sufferings of African Americans, to not end his speech. "Tell them about your dream, Martin!" she shouted to King as he was about sit down. "Tell them about the dream!" The rest, as they say, was history.
The anthology set "16 Most Requested Songs," released in 1996, has the best and most identifiable songs of Jackson's long career. Much has been said and written about Jackson's voice -- here in New Orleans there's even a theater enshrined to it -- so I'll let King, her biggest influence, do the talking: "A voice like hers," he once said, "comes along once in a millennium."
Thank the Lord we were here to witness it.

David Hammer / Eyewitness News
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com | Twitter: @davidhammerWWL
NEW ORLEANS - The first two weeks of the BP civil trial has mostly been a rehash of what we learned more than two years ago: That a series of cost- and time-saving decisions by BP led to the catastrophic blowout of its deepwater well and the deaths of 11 rig workers.
But little nuggets of evidence released this week -- some from the witness stand, but mostly through old deposition testimony -- shed new light on just how much BP employees in Houston knew about the dangers the Deepwater Horizon rig crew was facing.
Government experts called to the stand before U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier over the trial's first two weeks have concluded the following:
That BP was close to $40 million over-budget on its Macondo well when it blew;
That it chose to save $7 million to $10 million on the back end by using a questionable well-lining design;
That, in spite of warnings about increased risks, it chose to use fewer devices to ensure a good seal on the well;
That BP's top men on the rig looked at obviously disturbing pressure readings in the well and incorrectly declared the final test of the well's integrity a success;
That BP ordered the removal of protective drilling mud from the well and replaced it with lighter seawater, allowing gas and oil to shoot up to the surface;
And that BP failed to properly certify the fail-safe device on the top of the well, the blowout preventer, and the device failed to activate properly.
I came to the same conclusions in this story I wrote back in September 2010.
But the real issue now before Barbier is just how liable BP is. And for that, the government is alleging not just negligence, but gross negligence. The difference is extremely significant. Pollution fines due from BP to the federal government (and to be shared 80 percent among the Gulf states) if it's found simply negligent would be about $4.5 billion.
But if it's found grossly negligent or found to have engaged in willful misconduct, the fines would expand to about $17.6 billion.
Transocean, which leased the rig to BP and provided most of the crew, has already admitted its own simple negligence.
So, really, this trial comes down to how much BP and its real decision-makers knew about the problems at Macondo and when did they know it.
In that regard, the most important new testimony centered on a phone call between BP's top man on the rig and the engineer assigned to the Macondo project back in Houston. BP's head of safety, Mark Bly, left the phone call out of his accident investigation report entirely.
Government experts, meanwhile, testified that the rig supervisor, Donald Vidrine, gave the engineer, Mark Hafle, plenty of information about anomalies in the pressure readings that it should have caused Hafle to stop the drilling operation and that it would have prevented the explosion.
Government expert Allan Huffman testified last week that BP engineers failed to inform federal regulators when they decided to drill with a narrower-than-allowed margin between the pore pressure and the fracture gradient. The pore pressure is from oil and gas in the gaps in seabed rock, trying to escape. The fracture gradient is the pressure exerted the other way, from inside the hole outward, by fluids the drilling team pours down the well.
A drilling team always has to track those opposing pressures to make sure it's using heavy enough drilling mud to keep the well from collapsing in on itself, something known as a "kick," but not using too much that it causes cracks in the surrounding rock.
Macondo suffered two kicks before the final kick went uncontrolled and resulted in the blowout.
And depositions given by other members of the BP oversight team in Houston have now been released by the court. The most explosive was from geologist Bobby Bodek, whose emails from weeks before the accident warn that they had "run out of drilling margin" and that drilling any further had "become a well integrity and safety issue."
The other BP leaders ignored Bodek's concerns and decided to drill another 1,000 feet into the seabed. Professor Eric Smith from the Tulane Energy Institute says it was because the BP officials weren't thinking about a blowout, but just about making it through the next crisis.
"I think it is kind of interesting that the guy who is the most concerned convinces people to let him go out to the rig and then within a week he's pulled back to shore. Well, why? Because that particular kick was cured," Smith said. "And I think that's the kind of incremental decision-making that goes on."
Most strikingly, Bodek's boss offers in one email to buy him drinks if the team can finish the well without any so-called "non-productive time," and Bodek writes back "If they want to push this next hole section to TD (total depth), it will all be in God's hands."
In other emails, Bodek told members of the elite "Tiger Team" BP had put together to monitor Gulf drilling that the Deepwater Horizon crew was drilling too fast (85 feet per hour) to notice danger signs properly as mud-loggers and other experts read real-time data graphs tracking the pore pressure and fracture gradient thousands of feet under the sea.
But another scientist on his team, Kate Paine, blamed it on what she called a "we can get away with this attitude," and they decided to keep drilling at a high rate of speed.
"That might be good in some formations, but we're on the Golden Zone of hydrocarbons, which came out this week at the trial, and these really fragile Myocene subsalt formations, and the data can't be interpreted when you're going this fast," said Lillian Miller Espinoza-Gala, a member of the Deepwater Horizon Study Group from the University of California at Berkeley – a group that reported its findings to President Barack Obama's Oil Spill Commission.
"In some ways I would compare it to driving 90 miles an hour on a steep mountain cliff."
Espinoza-Gala says that is willful misconduct. But Tulane's Smith says it's far from the smoking gun Judge Carl Barbier will need to see to rule gross negligence.
"I think they're going to find a series of incremental decisions, well-meaning, some riskier than others," Smith said. "But they're not going to find somebody saying, 'I don't care if it kills the whole crew and sinks the ship, do it.' That's not gonna happen."

The project has been developed with three main purposes. First is to obtain quality data about four common air pollutants. Obtaining quality data is essential for scientific research on the air quality in Qatar, as it enables one to see how the air quality is changing so that policy makers are able to make informed decisions about how to improve the air quality. A second purpose is to provide public information about air quality through this website. Just as information about weather is available to the public, we think it is important that people have some understanding about the air they breathe and what might be contained in that air. Third, this site is being designed so that it can play an educational role informing the public about air quality issues. Information about various pollutants, how they are formed, what might be their effect on one's health, are issues we will address.

I don't think that computer programming is an essential skill for anyone except computer programmers. Moreover, computer languages are constantly evolving with new frameworks and libraries constantly being added or modified, so even if there were a school program to ensure that students did gain some programming proficiency their skills and knowledge would quickly become out of date. In fact, even computer programming professionals have to devote considerable time keeping themselves up to date with the latest trends and developments in their rapidly moving field.
Students should have some knowledge about the fundamentals and important principles of how computers operate and are programmed, but I don't think that developing an in-depth knowledge of computer programming is worth the time and effort.

|Raiders face big challenge in Buckeye Central
|Local Sports
|Monday, March 10, 2014 2:37 PM
CONGRATS to Wayne Trace
Tonight's game final WT 80 Buckeye Central 51
By Kevin Wannemacher
HAVILAND — Wayne Trace makes the trip to Bowling Green State University on Tuesday night, March 11 for the Division IV boys regional tournament in the Stroh Center as the Raiders square off with Buckeye Central in the 6:15 p.m. contest.
Wayne Trace is coming off of a 53-25 rout of Green Meadows Conference rival Ayersville in the district tournament at Van Wert High School on Friday, a night that saw the Raiders play arguably their best game of the season. However, it will take similar efforts in the regional to move on, as the four teams come into the tournament with a combined record of 92-6.
The Raiders, now 22-3 on the season, will take on Buckeye Central (23-2) in the first game of the night. Buckeye Central, nicknamed the Bucks, defeated Sandusky St. Mary's 67-60 in the district final at Willard High School Friday night.
Buckeye Central is led by a pair of 5-11 senior guards in Cade Kaple and Austin Wurm.
Kaple, a first team District 6 selection and a second team AP all-district player, averages 14 points per game for the Bucks and is the floor general for Buckeye Central. Kaple is second on the squad with 24 3-pointers this year.
"He is very good," noted Raider head coach Jim Linder. "He runs the show for them. From what we've seen on tape, he is definitely the one they look to lead the team and get them in position to be successful."
Wurm tops the Bucks at 18.8 points per game and has connected on 58 treys this season. Wurm was a second team player on the District 6 squad while also selected on the AP all-district third team.
Senior center Sam Robertson also averages in double figures at 10.5 points a night.
"Wurm is their shooter and we have to be very aware of him," added the Raider mentor. "They have some good shooters and we are going to have to know where they are defensively."
Senior guard Stone Wurm chips in 7.2 points a game for the Bucks followed by sophomore forward Grant Loy (6.9 ppg) and junior center Seth Ollis (6.5 ppg). Loy is not expected to play, however, due to injury.
Others expected to see significant playing time for the Bucks include sophomore guard Scott Heydinger (4.0 ppg), junior forward Cole Stacklin (3.9 ppg), junior forward Ray Stahl (3.0 ppg), sophomore forward Brice Brenneman (2.0 ppg) and sophomore guard Nash Ehresman (2.0 ppg).
"They are a very good basketball team," Linder continued. "We have to go in and do what we do better than them. We need to execute, play good defense and be aggressive on both ends of the floor."
The two losses for Buckeye Central came to Colonel Crawford and Carey. The Eagles got past the Bucks 60-48 on December 20 in North Robinson while Carey defeated Buckeye Central 79-66 on February 1 in Carey. Buckeye Central currently is 5-0 in games decided by less than ten points on the year and the Bucks are 12-2 away from home this year.
Buckeye Central opened the year with five straight victories before falling at Colonel Crawford. The Bucks then ran off nine wins in a row, dropped a game at Carey, and has won nine straight since.
"We are going to have to play well," Linder added. "We need to come out focused and mentally ready to play for 32 minutes. There are no easy ones at this point. Everybody is very good."
The red-white-and-blue is led in scoring by junior Corbin Linder and freshman Ethan Linder.
Corbin scores 14.4 points per game and has recorded 55 assists and 38 steals. Younger brother Ethan adds 13.8 points a contest and has dished out 54 assists while recording 57 steals. Senior guard Colby Speice adds 7.4 points a night and leads the team with 88 assists and 63 steals.
Senior forward Devin Wenzlick leads Wayne Trace with 6.1 rebounds per game while chipping in 6.2 points a contest.
Linder is also hopeful that the experience of making the long tournament run in football is an asset to the basketball team. The Raiders also have played in 15 games decided by ten points or less, winning 13 of them.
"We've got some guys that went through the run by the football team, and we need to use that experience to help us," concluded the Raider head coach. "We've had to deal with adversity all year, and I think it has prepared us to play in these kinds of games."
The winner of Tuesday's contest returns on Friday to play either Crestview or Ottawa Hills in the regional championship.

"Before I Die"
April 22, 2012 - Jennifer Brookens
I stumbled upon an interesting web site tonight: an interactive art project by Candi Chang of New Orleans. Part graduation thesis, and part dealing with the loss of a loved one, Chang converted a side of an abandoned building into "Before I Die." The "Chalkboard" has the stenciled lines that state, "Before I die I want to ______." The answers fill in quickly, several times in just one day. The answers range from silly ("Eat salad with an alien") to thoughtful ("Abandon all insecutities") to creative ("Straddle the International date line"). It's made me reflect on the things I want/need to accomplish before my time is up. Check it out for yourselves at http://candychang.com/before-i-die-in-nola/
