Green and Speckled Frog Cookies
My oldest son's teacher asked me if I would provide some cookies for the Frog Class on their last day of school (she knows I like to do crafty things). A quick internet search turned up these instructions from Kraft for creating a frog from an Oreo. I modified the idea a little bit using Golden Oreos (the vanilla variety) and dipping them in green icing. I also used a flat pretzel chip for the legs and added a tongue made from a cut-up fruit roll up. These were a visual hit with the various adults at the school but the kids' reactions were mixed. Some found them too messy and (believe it or not) too sweet. One of the teachers suggested substituting a vanilla wafer for the Oreo and I do think that would be an improvement. The fruit roll up wanted to stick everywhere but on the cookie so I would use a less sticky type next time. These could be a cute addition to a frog- or princess-themed party (you know, kiss the frog).

What about REW/boLI?
Comment by Samg — February 1, 2009 @ 11:32 pm
That can't really be added right now since we don't calculate boLI. Maybe someday.
Comment by David Appelman — February 2, 2009 @ 12:11 am
What RE table are you using to calculate the stat? RE for each individual year, by league, or an accumulation of years?
Comment by Peter Jensen — October 20, 2010 @ 7:59 am
Here's a question that has bothered me for a while regarding RE24.
If there is a runner on second with two outs, according to "The Book", you have an RE of 0.325. If the batter hits a single, scoring the runner, the new RE is 0.216.
RE24 would have a pretty glaring flaw if there isn't something to account for the runner scoring, thus reducing the RE according to base/out states. I would hate to think such a useful statistic could be so easily flummoxed.
Comment by Ian A. — December 1, 2011 @ 8:40 pm
Answered my own question by emailing the authors of "The Book"
"Yes, you have to add 1 for each run.
Comment by Ian A. — December 5, 2011 @ 7:34 pm
I love the RE24 stat but have a problem with the way runs are credited. Why does the value of the run(s) scored on a given play go entirely to the batter? If the leadoff hitter singles, steals second, steals third, and then scores on a weak groundball to second, why does the value of the run go to the batter? It should be split between the two because the run could not have scored without each player doing their part.
Comment by Ken Williams — May 15, 2012 @ 3:45 pm
The RE is already high with the runner on 3rd. The batter only gets the difference between that and 1, or really, 1-RE(before ground out). Does that make sense?
Comment by zacksf — September 29, 2012 @ 9:52 pm
So does RE24 have the same "units" as RBI (and runs)
Is it fair to say that:
wOBA is a more sophisticated version of on base percentage (or OPS),
RE24 is a more sophisticated version of RBI or perhaps RBI+runs?
Comment by zacksf — September 29, 2012 @ 9:57 pm
So then the batter is credited with: (1-.325) + .216 .
The first term for the run scored, the second term for creating the additional runner (himself). Is that correct?
Comment by zacksf — September 30, 2012 @ 1:12 am
Here is a more specific response, though the numbers are guessed.
Inning begins: Re=.5
Batter singles: Re=.9 (+.4 credit)
steals 2nd: Re=1.1 (+.2 credit)
steals 3rd: Re=1.4 (+.3 credit)
ground ball
to 2nd, run
scores, 1 out Re=.3 (-.1 credit, calculated as 1.4-0.3 + 1)
So even with the +1 credit the 2nd batter has a net negative RE credit for adding the out and dropping the RE by 1.1.
Comment by zacksf — September 30, 2012 @ 1:26 am
So the leadoff hitter gets a +.9 in the above example, the 2nd batter, who got the RBI, actually gets a -0.1 (negative) in this case. I believe it would have been positive had it been a runner on 3rd and 1 out.
Comment by zacksf — September 30, 2012 @ 1:30 am
Hmmm, looking at the example below, you can see I left one thing out in the comment above.
Comment by zacksf — September 30, 2012 @ 1:31 am
Are you okay with the existing idea in baseball that a batter does not get an RBI for a run scoring on a double play? Even though "the run could not have scored without each player doing their part?"
Baseball has long understood that a particular batter's outcome can be so bad that he didn't really help, despite the run scoring. This is the same sort of thing, except a little more precise and distinguishing between different situations more.
Comment by John Thacker — October 5, 2012 @ 9:06 am
Yeah, so it's the 'runs expected'. You score the one run you have (you've banked it) plus you're expected to score another 0.216 runs.
Comment by CJ — October 5, 2012 @ 9:44 am
What I'd like to know is there any metric to acount for a baserunner doing a good job of moving up?
For example:
Runner on 1st, 1 out. RE = 0.51
Batter hits a single, good baserunner moves to 3rd.
Runners on 1st & 3rd. RE = 1.15, batter "earns" 0.64
Batter hits a single, slow runner only moves to 2nd.
Runners on 1st & 2nd. RE = 0.90, batter "earns" 0.39
So there's a 0.25 run difference there. There's a ton of problems to consider here; whether or not the runner moves up obviously depends on how the ball is fielded, the read the runner gets, the speed of the runner, and how and where the ball was hit. I can imagine that with a large enough sample that we could assume the effects of the hitter and fielder even out and that there is an average rate at which a runner should make it from 1st to 3rd. Given all that, would individual players be in situations like that enough that making adjustments would be informative, i.e. would a good runner have enough opportunities to take an extra base that the sample size for his opportunities would be big enough?
Also, if the runner gets thrown out at 3rd as above,
Runner on 1st, 2 outs. RE = 0.22, batter "loses" 0.29
You get a swing of 0.93 there if the runner is safe at 3rd instead of out.
I'm not sure how I feel about that, because like any other statistic we just have to hope that those events even out in the end and I think it's a complex event involving the fielder and runner that there's likely not a solid way to make easy and objective measurements.
That's using 2012 expectancies from BR.

Governor Nikki Haley says South Carolina won't back down from a lawsuit they filed against the United States Department of Energy and the National Nuclear Security Administration in regards to the mixed oxide fuel, or MOX, project.
"South Carolina is not going to be a dumping ground. We're not going to allow that to happen," Haley said in a press conference Monday afternoon. "They either have to let us do the job that they asked us to do or they need to take it and let us go on with our business."In 2002, Congress passed a law mandating the MOX project be built at Savannah River Site, which Gov. Haley toured today. However, recently, President Obama and the NNSA placed the MOX on cold stand-by, essentially shutting the project down because it's at least $3 billion over budget."What was supposed to be an opportunity in energy, has turned into a situation where, if they're not going to finish the facility, they need to go ahead and take this," Haley said.Governor Haley said the plutonium fuel factory would provide employment and limit the proliferation of nuclear weapons in the United States and Russia.

The Vivid Lights Festival was amazing, I was unable to go but I saw many photos of my friends there. I however got to cross the Sydney Harbour Bridge daily for my travel to and from work which was not too bad.
Sydney is beautiful. I was fortunate enough to visit it at the New year and watched the firework. Absolutely an amazing city.

Back To School time is fast approaching and we have appointments available.
One out of every five children have a visual defect that goes untreated. Make sure you give us a call to schedule your child's yearly eye examination! 402-215-2020
Made for the way we use our eyes today.
Did you know the average American spends 37 hours a week staring at electronic devices such as smart phones, tablets, and digital TVs.* All of these devices emit blue light waves, which can cause eyestrain, headaches, and fatigue. In combination with other factors, exposure to blue-light can lead to Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD). That's why HOYA's Recharge treatment is specifically formulated to absorb and block blue light. HOYA lenses protect and prevent premature aging of your eyes by selectively filtering out UV and blue-violet light. They also provide optimal clarity of vision by offering the most complete protection against glare, scratches, smudges, dust, and water.
*Source: eMarket, July 2013
At Northwest Eye Care, Dr. Carole Linn and her staff believe in truly personalized eye care! Here you can learn about what optometry services and eye care products we offer. If you are a first time patient and already have an appointment with us coming up, feel free to download the necessary patient forms available on our website.
Don't forget to Like Us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter so you can be the first to know about promotions and sales going on, and you can view our educational posts that we provide, which can help you learn about various eye conditions and issues that can affect your daily life.
"People expect great service, but few are willing to give it."

Cool Critters Parties for Birthdays and Events!
In a one-hour visit from the Nature Guy, your young party guests will get to hold many tame and friendly creatures and will receive a wealth of information about some of the world's coolest, most fascinating and sometimes largest, insects, arthropods, reptiles and amphibians. Longer shows can also be booked at the host's request and, time permitting, we can play games involving these cool critters.
A favorite interactive game is Fear Factor; where your party's bravest participants face numerous photo worthy challenges like letting giant hissing cockroaches climb on their arms, tree frogs cling to their cheeks, and lizards eat from their hands. This game includes 5 or more creepy or disgusting (but not dangerous) dares!
Our show animals are carefully selected for their good health and gentle temperaments. Appearing in over 300 appearances each year, these animals are held by thousands of children and are very accustomed to high-energy crowds!
Cool Critters is both licensed and insured. A word to the wise: Many traveling animal shows are not licensed animal exhibitors and/or do not carry liability insurance so, for your protection be sure to inquire.
The Nature Guy is not a pet retailer, but should you wish to purchase an animal as a birthday gift, he would be happy to advise you on appropriate animals for your child (and may be able to recommend reputable dealers in your area). Many well meaning parents have made the mistake of purchasing animals that are prone to become ill tempered as they get older or animals that soon outgrow their child's ability or willingness to care for them.
The Nature Guy's animal collection includes many of the species he considers to be the 'coolest' and most practical pets for children. As a result, your party will serve as an excellent opportunity for parents and kids to see and learn first hand about some of the most suitable pets on the market.
Located in Southern California, we serve the Counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Northern San Diego.

Currently sitting a point behind Russia in Group F, Portugal will be hoping to keep the pressure on with a victory against Israel on Friday. Indeed Portugal will be able to leapfrog Russia with a win, should Fabio Capello's team somehow fail to win in Luxembourg. Israel are currently right behind Portugal in third place, and their dreams of World Cup qualification will end unless they can pull off a massive upset and secure a victory.
However, they'll take heart from the scare they gave Portugal at home back in March, when two last-gasp goals from Hélder Postiga and Fabio Coentrão saw the visitors come back from 3-1 down to rescue a point in the dying seconds of the game. Unfortunately, it's unlikely that Paulo Bento's team will find themselves in such a vulnerable position at home.
Then again, they do have a string of injury problems which will see the coach forced into fielding a completely unfamiliar back line, with with full-backs Fabio Coentrão, João Pereira and Miguel Lopes, and centre-back Bruno Alves all unavailable. What's more, experienced striker Hélder Postiga is out suspended and winger Vieirinha injured, leaving Bento with selection dilemmas in attack as well as defence.
Israel have had their fitness and injury concerns too, though it'll be interesting to see whether they can take advantage of Portugal's problems in Lisbon.
Projected lineups
Portugal: Rui Patrício; Vitorino Antunes, Pepe, Luis Neto, Cédric Soares; Raul Meireles, Miguel Veloso, João Moutinho; Cristiano Ronaldo, Hugo Almeida, Nani
Israel: Dudu Aouate; Ofir Davidzada, Dekel Keinan, Tal Ben Haim, Sheran Yeini; Gal Alberman, Bibras Natkho; Lior Refaelov, Elyaniv Barda, Maor Melikson; Eran Zahavi
Match Date/Time: Friday, 8:45 p.m. local, 3:45 p.m. ET

Australia's dollar fell to its weakest level this year and bond yields reached record lows as concern mounted that Greek leaders will be unable to form a coalition government, reducing appetite for riskier assets.
The so-called Aussie dropped versus all but one of its 16 major peers after Prime Minister Julia Gillard said the budget surplus her government has promised to deliver would provide scope for the central bank to cut interest rates. New Zealand's currency, nicknamed the kiwi, is set to complete an eight-day drop in what would be its longest losing streak against the dollar since 2001 as Asian stocks extended a global rout.
"Risk is going to be on the back foot while the Greek squabbles continue," said Joseph Capurso, a strategist in Sydney at Commonwealth Bank of Australia. (CBA) "I don't have a lot of optimism that these things will be resolved quickly. It's pulling down many currencies like the Aussie, the kiwi and the Canadian dollar, which are more linked to global growth."
The Australian dollar fell to $1.0053, its lowest level since Dec. 29, before trading at $1.0084 at 4:13 p.m. in Sydney, 0.4 percent below yesterday's close. It lost 0.5 percent to 80.47 yen.
Returning Australia's budget to surplus will give the central bank "maximum room to move" in setting interest rates, Gillard said today in an interview with Bloomberg News. The Reserve Bank of Australia this month cut its benchmark rate by half a percentage point to 3.75 percent and investors are betting there is an 88 percent chance of another reduction in June.
Yields Slide
Australia's 10-year bond yield fell to a record 3.347 percent as rates on all notes maturing in three years or longer dropped to the lowest ever.
New Zealand's currency weakened 0.1 percent to 78.69 U.S. cents. The kiwi retreated 0.2 percent to 62.79 yen.
New Zealand's two-year swap rate, a fixed payment made to receive floating rates, rose 5 1/2 basis points to 2.525 percent. It fell to an all-time low of 2.46 percent on May 7, below the central bank's official cash rate of 2.50 percent.
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index of shares lost 1.2 percent. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index (SPX) of U.S. shares lost 0.4 percent yesterday.
Greek Concern
Both South Pacific currencies declined as bets increased that a left-leaning coalition in Greece may undo bailout accords. Alexis Tsipras, whose Syriza party placed second in Greek elections on May 6, said he would forge ahead with plans to form a coalition government of left-wing parties after he was handed the mandate by President Karolos Papoulias.
The Aussie has lost 2.4 percent this year, the worst performance after the yen among the 10 developed-nation currencies tracked by Bloomberg Correlation Weighted Indexes. The kiwi gained 0.4 percent.
Australian Treasurer Wayne Swan said yesterday the nation's underlying cash surplus will be A$1.54 billion ($1.55 billion) in the 12 months to June 30, 2013. Expenditures are forecast to fall to A$364.2 billion next year, the first drop in figures dating back to 1971. The A$44.4 billion deficit this year is the third-largest on record and is 3 percent of gross domestic product.
New Zealand's dollar slid versus its U.S. and Japanese counterparts as central bank Governor Alan Bollard attributed its weakening to falling commodity prices and weak economic indicators.
Factors behind the decline include "a risk-off environment in Europe and also a recognition of softer commodity prices and a few bits of soft data in Australia and New Zealand," Bollard told reporters today. "It's been moving in a direction that we would have thought is broadly in line with fundamentals."
Bollard signaled on April 26 he may reassess the outlook for interest rates should the exchange rate stay strong. Investors are betting he may reduce borrowing costs as soon as next month. The New Zealand benchmark is currently at a record low 2.5 percent.
The Thomson Reuters/Jefferies CRB Index (CRY) of raw materials fell 0.8 percent yesterday.

The victorious striker scored or had a hand in nine of United's 11 goals as David Moyes' men won three matches and drew two.
Evra and Antonio Valencia were November's other nominees, but Rooney was the clear winner after polling 80 per cent of the fans' online votes.
"I can't believe this. Why have the fans given it to Wayne?!" joked Patrice when ManUtd.com told him about his team-mate's latest accolade. "I am very happy for Wayne and he really deserves it. He is playing so well and has been in great form for us."
The Frenchman added that he was pleased to be nominated and hopes to play well enough in the coming months to be included in the vote again.
"I just want to keep working hard for the team and be consistent and hopefully I will be in with a chance of winning next month's award," he said. "I'd like to thank the fans who voted for me, but Wayne really deserves it."

East Lancs mum dies weeks after being diagnosed with cancer
11:00am Thursday 3rd July 2014 in News By Lawrence Dunhill, Health Reporter
A 'LOVELY' mum-of-two has died just weeks after being told she had cancer.
Tributes have been paid to Amanda McFarlane, from Darwen, who was taken to hospital last month with a 'tremendous pain' in her chest.
An aggressive cancer, thought to have started in her breast, had spread into her spine and bones, and the 38-year-old was deemed to be too weak to have chemotherapy.
She died in hospital a few weeks later and her funeral was at Pleasington Crematorium on Friday.
Her mum Annette Fenton, 60, said: "The whole family are absolutely devastated. She was such a lovely, lively girl and we all loved her so much.
"She loved her friends and absolutely adored her children. It all happened so suddenly and I can't get my head around it.
"She may have had this cancer a long time but her health really deteriorated in the last couple of months and she lost three stone in about five weeks.
"But she wasn't one to see the doctor easily or to make a fuss.
"I can't fault the hospital doctors or the staff for the tremendous care they gave her when she was rushed to the Royal Blackburn."
Amanda, who went to the former Darwen Moreland High School, lived in Ribble Avenue with her partner Kenny.
She also leaves her children Blake, 19, and Naomi, 16, brother Stephen, and dad Robert.

11. A diaphragm as claimed in claim 1 wherein said alloy is an alloy of boron and aluminum.
12. A diaphragm as claimed in claim 1 wherein said alloy is an alloy of boron and titanium.
This is a continuation, of application Ser. No. 699,399, filed June 24, 1976, now abandoned.
The present invention relates to diaphragms for use in loud speakers, and more particularly, to diaphragms of the dome-shaped type.
Conventionally, aluminum or titanium were used for the most part as the material of a diaphragm because of their lightness in weight and their facility in rolling treatment. Those materials, however, produce a particular vibrating mode over the diaphragm so that in the high-frequency characteristic of the diaphragm, there appears a peak portion thereby causing the reproduced tone qualities to be considerably degraded. For the purpose of avoiding the disadvantage encountered, it has been recognized that a material having a large ratio of Young's modulus E to density ρ is preferable therefor in order to obtain a highly efficient diaphragm (See Table 1). Because of this recognition beryllium, or beryllium alloy has been used as the material for diaphragms.
Beryllium or beryllium alloy are similar to aluminum in that the surfaces thereof are not corroded due to the formation of oxidizing films thereon. However, the surfaces thereof can be corroded by certain environments, such as in sulfurous acid gas, and may suffer from the recent terrific air pollution which includes corrosive gasses, such as sulfurous acid gas, caused mainly by the exhaust gas from automobiles and the exhaust smoke from industries.
Table 1______________________________________ Young's modulus Density ρ E/ρ Kg/mm2 g/cc 10-6 cc/mm2______________________________________Aluminum 7,400 2.65 2,750Boron carbide 46,000 2.51 18,326Beryllim 28,000 1.84 15,217Boron 45,000 2.46 18,292______________________________________
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a noncorrosive diaphragm which is unaffected in the invironment of corrosive gas.
Another object of this environment is to provide a diaphragm having a ratio of Young's modulus E to density ρ which is as large as beryllium or beryllium alloy so as to obtain a highly efficient loud speaker.
Still another object of this invention is to provide a diaphragm which can be manufactured inexpensively owing to the fact that the material for the coating layer is supplied inexpensively.
FIG. 1 represents the central cross sectional view of a diaphragm for use in a loud speaker embodying the present invention.
FIGS. 2A-2F are top views of diaphragms which are only partially coated in accordance with the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 1, reference numeral (1) designates a substrate formed into a diaphragm configuration from a thin plate made of aluminum or titanium by means of a press manufacturing technique. A coating layer (2), (2)', provided on one or both surfaces of the substrate, is boron, an alloy of boron having boron as its major component, or a chemical compound of boron. The coating can be applied by means of electron beam evaporation, ion plating, sputtering or the like.
The coating layer of boron finely adheres to the aluminum substrate. That is, some of the coating layer material diffuses into the substrate (1) so that the layer cannot be peeled away. The average Young's modulus of the entire diaphragm gets nearer to that of boron, and the adhesion of boron to aluminum is more securely effected.
In the above embodiment, although aluminum is referred to as the material of the substrate, organic substances, such as a synthetic resin, may be employed instead of aluminum. It will be noted that the value of E/ρ of a diaphragm would be increased if beryllium or beryllium alloy is used as the substrate. In the latter case, since E/ρ of the substrate per se is relatively large, the coating layer (2), (2)' can be as thin as 1μ to prevent corrosion, even from sulfurous acid gas.
Also the substrate may consist of other materials initially coated with beryllium or beryllium alloy. The latter substrate is then coated with an alloy of which a major component is boron or a chemical compound of boron.
In summary, an organic or inorganic substance, such as aluminum, titanium, beryllium or synthetic resin or the like are employed as the substrate, and boron, or an alloy of which a major component is boron or a chemical compound of boron, is coated onto the surface of the substrate, whereby a diaphragm having sufficiently large value of E/ρ can be obtained as illustrated heretofore, and accordingly a highly efficient loud speaker can be obtained. Further, the coating layer is chemically protected, and thus is not corroded by the corrosive gas. Furthermore, a diaphragm according to the present invention is capable of being manufactured inexpensively. In case the substrate is beryllium or beryllium alloy, even though the coating layer is very thin, the same result is achieved.
Although suitable thickness in any particular case may be easily determined by routine checking of the acoustical characteristics of samples of diaphragms, it should be understood that the preferred thickness of the coating depends upon the substrate material, thickness and diameter. As an example, for a diaphragm of 25 mm diameter consisting of a 15-20μm thick aluminum sheet, the minimum coating thickness is 3-5μm and the maximum coating thickness is 30-40μm.
While pure boron is the most preferable coating, pure boron does not occur naturally and is expensive to obtain. Alloys of boron are suitable provided they contain 50% by weight of boron. Of course, the greater the weight percent of boron, the better. Typical alloys are those which include aluminum and titanium. Boron compounds which are suitable include boron carbide and boron nitride.
The coating may be applied to only parts of the surface or surfaces of the substrate as shown in the top views of FIGS. 2A-2F. FIG. 2A shows a plan view of a diaphragm, the peripheral portion of which is coated with a suitable coating material. That is, the portion of the diaphragm by which it is supported is selectively coated. With this construction, it is possible to increase the rigidity of the support portion without increasing the mass of the diaphragm substantially. The result is that the resonance frequency of the diaphragm in the high frequency region can be made higher, preferably higher than the upper limit of the audible range, to thereby cause the reproduction range of the loud speaker to be widened.
The portion of the diaphragm which is to be selectively coated is arbitrary selected according to demands. For example, FIG. 2B shows coaxial coating zones and FIG. 2C shows a center coating zone. Further, FIG. 2D shows a plurality of coating zones arranged on a coaxial line, and FIG. 2E shows a plurality of radial coating zones. By arranging the coating zones symmetrically with respect to the center of the diaphragm, it may be possible to induce desirable local vibration while reducing undesirable vibrations. By suitably arranging them, it may be possible to flatten the frequency response of the loud speaker. Further, FIG. 2F shows an elliptical coating zone. When the coating zone is neither coaxial nor symmetrical, as in the case shown in FIG. 2F, the generation of standing waves is substantially eliminated and desirable local vibrations can be produced in, particularily, the high frequency range, thereby contributing to the flattening of the frequency response.

WASHINGTON, July 9, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Following is the daily "Profile America" feature from the U.S. Census Bureau:
Profile America - Wednesday, July 9th. One of the most important inventions of our times was announced in early July 1948 in a press release by Bell Laboratories in New Jersey - the transfer resistance device - far better known as the transistor. The small, simple, and tough transistor replaced fragile and heat-generating vacuum tubes, which had been the heart of electronics for decades. The discovery led to the development of the integrated circuit and the microprocessor that are the basis of modern electronics. Today, transistor technology makes possible the devices we take for granted in daily life - computers, cell phones, and video games, as well as satellites and medical equipment. Making semiconductors and other components for electronics employs nearly 283,000 people in some 4,300 businesses in the U.S. Profile America is in its 17th year as a Public Service of the U.S. Census Bureau.

Show synopsis A study of a pond and its wildlife observed through one whole year - the second picture book by the illustrator of the award-winning "Think of an Eel". This is the story of a year in the life of a pond, and of two six-year-old girls who go there to play each day. In spring they gather twigs, build little rafts and look for frogs' eggs and then tadpoles. When the water gets warmer they go paddling and wade over to where the lady's slippers, rare wild flowers, grow. By mid summer, they can see algae, crayfish, dragonflies and frogs to watch, and lots of mud and scum to play with. There are water-lilies too and salamanders, as well as almost every kind of water bug you can think of. In the autumn the muskrats make their nests in the banks then, as winter approaches, the pond creatures burrow into the mud to sleep and the pond becomes a black mirror. Winter brings ice and the pond is turned into a skating rink. Then, at last, spring returns. In this book Kathryn Lasky recalls the pond in her backyard in her own childhood. Mike Bostock is the illustrator of "Think of an Eel" by Karen Wallace which won both the Kurt Maschler Award and The Times Educational Supplement's Junior Information Book Award, and was runner-up for The Mother Goose Award.
