The Details of Life
"Peter's dog ate Jefferson's cat," says Mother Martha in a letter I received from the South Bronx.
Mother Martha is the priest of St. Ann's Church in the Mott Haven neighborhood, still the poorest section of the Bronx and, as physicians tell me, one of the most unhealthy places for a child to grow up in this or any other country of the Western world, with pediatric asthma rates and HIV infection rates for females in their older teenage years believed to be the highest in the nation.
St. Ann's is an Episcopal church. Martha Overall, a spirited and gutsy graduate of Radcliffe, used to practice law with the noted trial attorney Louis Nizer but gave up the law during the eighties and now, as the pastor of St. Ann's, she spends most of her days and nights surrounded by young children. Peter is a 10-year-old who lives above a store on St. Ann's Avenue directly opposite the garden of the church. His cousin Jefferson is living with him now, because the 7-year-old's mother has been seriously ill. She will be ill, as it turns out, for a long time and is for now, according to the priest, at Lincoln Hospital.
"First his mother. Then his cat!" says Mother Martha. "When I found him here this morning he was sitting on the front steps of the church. The cat, or what remained of her, was in a cardboard box. I sat there with him and we had a long talk about animals, because I think you know that some denominations don't believe that animals have souls, and he's been told a number of conflicting things.
"After our talk we found a cookie tin. Armando dressed in black for the occasion. Jefferson and Armando dug the hole. We said a prayer and sprinkled water on the cookie tin, and then the little ones threw dirt into the hole. I think that he was pleased, because he kept on bringing people out to see the grave. He dug her up three times to show his friends."
Armando is the sports director at the church. He tries, as do most people on the staff, to give emotional support to kids like Jefferson when they have troubles in their home. Jefferson doesn't open up to many grown-ups, though. He's rather bashful and has melancholy eyes. When things are going well with him, he likes to race around the churchyard with the pastor and her dog. When things are going badly, he hardly talks at all. He gets a hunted look, like that of a small rabbit frozen by the headlights of a car.
Mother Martha says he chose the prayer they read during the burial. Later, he found two sticks and made a cross to stand above the grave. When warmer weather came, he went back to the grave and planted flowers in the grass. "The dog who ate his cat," says Mother Martha, "is named Diesel--a good name, if you ask me, for an antisocial character who eats his friends."
Jefferson is one of six or seven children from the neighborhood who spend hours of their time with Mother Martha and for whom she sweeps away appointments with all types of visitors, to the dismay of many who have often traveled a long way to get some time with her. Four of them are boys, and two or three, depending on the season or the year, are girls who are their sisters or their cousins. Katrice, a woman from the neighborhood who runs the free-food pantry at the church, refers to them as "Mother Martha's gang" and disapproves of how they pester and pursue the priest all day. "Look at how they pull her clothes!" she says when they surround her as she's coming from her car.
Jefferson brings animals he finds around the neighborhood into the garden of St. Ann's. He seems happy with the animals, more than he sometimes seems to be with people. He likes to hang around at night with Mother Martha and her dog before it's time for him to go across the street to sleep.
Why does this story about Jefferson set off some warning signals for me as a writer? Perhaps simply because I know the fairly hard-nosed attitudes that govern social policy in urban neighborhoods today and can anticipate that this may be perceived as a preposterous distraction from the bottom-line concerns with "discipline" and "rigor" and "job preparation" and "high standards" and what is now known as "high-stakes testing" and the rest of the severe agenda that has recently been put in place for inner-city kids. Burials for cats somehow don't fit into this picture.
Then, too, in the business-minded ethos of our age, any money we may spend on children of poor people must be proven to be economically utilitarian and justifiable in cost-effective terms. But much of what goes on around St. Ann's cannot be justified in terms like these. You could not prove to anyone in Washington that Mother Martha's talk with Jefferson about the possibilities of an afterlife for animals will have "a positive effect" upon his reading scores or make him more employable a decade later.
Those, however, are the usual criteria for budgeting decisions in most programs that serve children. "Productivity" is almost everything. Elements of childhood that bear no possible connection to the world of enterprise and profit get no honor in the pedagogic world right now, nor do they in the economic universe to which it seems increasingly subservient.
Now and then I'm asked to go to conferences of urban school officials, corporation leaders and consultants, and the representatives of agencies that serve (or, as the jargon now requires, "service") inner-city youth. The atmosphere is very different at these sessions than it was only about ten years ago. The dialogue is managerial and structural, and its vocabulary tends to be impersonal and technocratic, weighted down by hyphenated words such as "performance-referenced," "outcome-oriented," "competency-centered." One hears a lot of economics, many references to competition and "delivery of product" and, of course, high standards and exams. Questions that concern the inner health of children, or their happiness or sadness, or their personalities as complicated, unpredictable and interesting little people don't come up at all, or if they do, are often treated as a genteel afterthought and handled with dispatch and even traces of derision.
The settings for these gatherings, which business leaders sometimes underwrite, are generally extravagant. Guests are inundated with expensively produced materials: shoulder bags embossed with corporate logos, loose-leaf notebooks filled with corporate position papers. The feeling of a public school is far removed from all of this. People rarely speak of children; you hear of "cohort groups" and "standard variations," but you don't hear much of boys who miss their cats or 6-year-olds who have to struggle with potato balls. If a bunch of kids like Elio and Pineapple--two of the lively children I have known at St. Ann's Church for many years--were seated at the table, it would seem a comical anomaly. Statistical decorum would be undermined by the particularities of all these uncontrollable and restless little variables.
The relentless emphasis at these events is on the future economic worth that low-income children may or may not have for our society. Policy discussions seem to view them less as children who have fingers, elbows, stomachaches and emotions than as "economic units"--pint-sized deficits or assets in blue jeans and jerseys, some of whom may prove to be a burden to society, others of whom may have some limited utility.
"The right kind of investment," says the former CEO of a large corporation that sells toothpaste and detergent, "from conception to age 5, will pay back every dollar we spend at least four for one, plus interest, plus inflation. I don't know of a factory anybody can build that will give that kind of return." However intended, it seems a peculiar way to speak of children.
The trouble with this is that "investment values," whether in petroleum, in soy or in the children of poor people, rise and fall. What if a future generation of geneticists, economists or both should come to the conclusion that the children of St. Ann's don't offer a sufficient payoff to a corporation's bottom line to warrant serious investment? We hear the stirrings of such notions even now in writings that allude to IQ differentials between racial and religious subgroups of the population. The subgroup living in Mott Haven does not stand too high within these rankings. If investment value is the governing determination here, black and Hispanic boys and girls like Elio and Pineapple are certain to be given less of almost everything that can bring purpose or fulfillment to existence than the seemingly "more valuable" white and Asian children who get into schools like Stuyvesant, New York's most famous high school for the academic elite.
Advocates for children, most of whom dislike this ethos, nonetheless play into it in efforts to obtain financial backing from the world of business. "A dollar spent on Head Start," they repeat time and again, "will save our government six dollars over twenty years" in lowered costs for juvenile detention and adult incarceration. It's a point worth making if it's true, although it's hard to prove; and, still, it is a pretty dreadful way to have to think about 4-year-olds. The fact that such a program allows a child the size of Mariposa--one of the littlest children at St. Ann's and one of many in the neighborhood who suffer from chronic asthma--several hundred mornings with warmhearted people in a safe and friendly pastel-painted setting seems to be regarded as too "soft," too sentimental, to be mentioned in the course of these discussions. "We should invest in kids like these," we're told, "because it will be more expensive not to." Why does our natural compassion or religious inclination need to find a surrogate in dollar savings to be voiced or acted on? Why not give these kids the best we have because we are a wealthy nation and they're children and deserve to have some fun while they're still less than four feet high?
Or is the point here that we don't believe this? Sometimes it seems that "having fun" is seen as a luxurious entitlement that cannot be accorded to the child of a woman who relies on welfare lest it make dependent status too enjoyable. It seems at times that happiness itself is viewed as an extravagance and that our sole concerns in dealing with such children must be discipline, efficiency and future worth.
The problem is not only that low-income children are devalued by these mercantile criteria; childhood itself is also redefined. It ceases to hold value for its own sake but is valued only as a "necessary prologue" to utilitarian adulthood. The first ten, twelve or fifteen years of life are excavated of inherent moral worth in order to accommodate a regimen of basic training for the adult years that many of the poorest children may not even live to know. There is no reference to investing in the present--in the childhood of children--only in a later incarnation of the child as a "product" or "producer."
"We must start to think about these inner-city children as our future entry-level workers," we are told by business leaders as they forge their various alliances and partnerships with poorly funded urban schools. It's fair to ask why we are being urged to see "these" children in that quite specific way. Why are we to look at Elio and see a future entry-level worker rather than to see him, as we see our own kids, as perhaps a future doctor, dancer, artist, poet, priest, psychologist or teacher, or whatever else he might someday desire to be? Why not, for that matter, look at him and see the only thing he really is: a 7-year-old child? Mariposa is not simply thirty-seven pounds of raw material that wants a certain "processing" and "finishing" before she can be shipped to market and considered to have value. She is of value now, and if she dies of a disease or accident when she is 12 years old, the sixth year of her life will not as a result be robbed of meaning.
St. Ann's runs an excellent afterschool and literacy program for approximately eighty children. Civic leaders from the downtown business world stop by at times to meet the children and for conversations with the priest. They often get more than they bargained for.
Mother Martha is a fearless woman who speaks truth to power and does not allow her strong political beliefs to be subdued or suffocated by the pretense of civility so common in the upper reaches of the press and power structure in New York. She cuts right through the philanthropic piety of many visitors. "Charity is not a substitute for justice," she says frequently. She's unsparing also in her reference to the seemingly eternalized apartheid of New York--99.8 percent of children in the schools that serve this neighborhood are black or brown, and she does not let visitors forget this. Even the most tough-minded CEOs look shaken sometimes after they have talked with her.
But the presence and the sheer vitality of all these children have a powerful effect upon the visitors as well. Once they're here, it seems, their ideologies disintegrate. An intimate reality does often have this power to collapse or modify belief. Nobody seems to want to advocate a "lean and mean" approach to public services for children while they're sitting in the chapel of St. Ann's with Elio or being drilled with questions by Pineapple.
The parents and staff at St. Ann's aren't naïve about the world of economic competition that their children will be forced to enter in a few more years. The pedagogic program at the afterschool is rigorous. The women and men who run the program have a lot of love and hot sauce in their style, but they also have a realistic recognition of the academic needs of children. The church is also forced to pay attention to the newly instituted tests the children have to pass in public school. No one here, no matter how benighted they may think these tests are, has any hesitation about working hard with children on test-taking skills, because they know that children in rich neighborhoods receive this preparation as a matter of routine, often in expensive private programs.
Intensive academics aren't the whole of what goes on here at the afterschool, however. If they were, the children wouldn't come here with such eagerness when they leave public school. Amid the pressures and the tensions about school promotion policies (and nonpromotion policies, which recently have come to be capricious and severe) and reading skills, percentile "norms," math exams and high school applications or rejections, and the rest of what makes up the pedagogic battlefield--which is not now, and never was, a level field for children in poor neighborhoods like the South Bronx--the grown-ups here have also managed somehow to leave room for innocence.
The pastor here has her three degrees: in economics (as an undergraduate at Radcliffe), then in law, and then theology. She also has a bracelet made of jelly beans that Jefferson's sister gave her as a present before Easter. It is, she told me once when I was looking at the brightly colored jelly beans that Jefferson's sister somehow linked together with a needle and a piece of string, the only bracelet anyone has given her since childhood--"more beautiful," she said with pride, "than finest pearls." In an age of drills and skills and endless lists of reinvented standards and a multitude of new and sometimes useful but too often frankly punitive exams, it's nice to find a place where there is still some room for things of no cash value--oddball humor, silliness and whim, a child's love, a grown-up's gratitude and joy--that never in a hundred years would show up as a creditable number on one of those all-important state exams.
Competitive skills are desperately needed by poor children in America, and realistic recognition of the economic roles that they may someday have an opportunity to fill is obviously important too. But there is more to life, and there ought to be much more to childhood, than readiness for economic functions. Childhood ought to have at least a few entitlements that aren't entangled with utilitarian considerations. One of them should be the right to a degree of unencumbered satisfaction in the sheer delight and goodness of existence in itself. Another ought to be the confidence of knowing that one's presence on this earth is taken as an unconditioned blessing that is not contaminated by the economic uses that a nation does or does not have for you. What I admire most about the programs and the atmosphere of daily life here at the church is that these diverse goals are reconciled in relatively seamless ways that make it possible for children to regard the world, and life itself, as something that, though difficult and often filled with pain and tears, is also sometimes good, and sometimes bountiful in foolishness, and therefore beautiful.
I recognize that jelly beans will not be seen by all Episcopalian officials as appropriate adornments for the vicar of an urban church, but it means something to Jefferson's sister when she sees the pastor wear that bracelet as she stands before the cross to celebrate the mass. The details of life renew our faith in life. In the busy ministries of grief the detailed things--the Band-Aids and the skinned knees and the handiwork of children's fingers--are too easily dismissed or relegated to the margins of consideration. I've been thankful that the detailed things are not forgotten in the course of all the solemn matters that preoccupy the pastor of St. Ann's.
People ask me why I keep on going back to visit at this church when there are other churches in New York that operate effective programs that teach children useful skills each afternoon when they are done with school. I don't usually answer. If I did, I know I wouldn't say too much about the writing program and test-preparation program and computer classes. They're good programs, but a "program," even one that has some provable success, would not have brought me back into a church in the South Bronx nearly 200 times. If I had to answer, I would say that I go back for all the things that can't be calibrated by exams. Elio's imagination and his curiosity and tenderness are part of this, and Pineapple's unselfishness, and Jefferson's shyness and sweet sadness, and his closeness to the priest, and Jefferson's cat.
Two years have passed. On quiet afternoons the boy with melancholy eyes goes by himself sometimes into the chapel of St. Ann's and kneels down on the floor to say prayers for his mother and his cat. Mother Martha sometimes prays beside him. I have never asked the pastor what she prays for.

How about the next day ;-). You guys are wasting your time, this company could not have any revenue for the next 7 years and it still would not go out of business they have that much free cash.

Like I told all the bashers that told me in 2007 that this company would go bankrupt with Space Shuttle retirement, not in your lifetime ;-).

You have been reported to the SEC for company libel and lying to manipulate a stock price. Expect the Law to come a knocking.
Stock is 2.60 and climbing, ISMC is 1.39 and falling lol !! You promised there would be a crossover in price but as you are a complete fckwit of a village idiot only the complete utter dunce that is the bizarre collection of cells that is you believed it lol !!! Back to 1.18 loser LOL !!!
The stock is currently trading at its free cash and stocks generally don't trade below their free cash so that will stop it and its 1stDetect IP is easily worth another $50m (conservatively) so this stock is currently trading at half true value. I know the idea of positive cash is a strange foreign concept to an IMSC debt dumbo like you but trust me on this lol.
There has been non-zero Spacetech revenue for over 2 years now and those little things called SEC filings show that but I know your tiny brain has trouble with those complicated documents as you only pump what your dumb management tell you to pump. This company's revenue is ramping now, working on a publicly documented $10m NGCD development contract that will lead to a potential $110m publicly documented production contract which will make this stock soar in the future all the while IMSC remains firmly anchored to the low 1s for all eternity lol !! Enjoy your stock stagnation, your utter immense stupidity has truly earned it lol !
Crash and burn alright but for IMSC lol !! Already down 3c down on the opening bell while this stock will gently float back up to the 3s where it belongs, in fact its true fair price now is 3.5-5.0.
IMSC - No Profits, No Cash, No hope in Hell of ever paying off its $60m debt and removing its 90m cheap DMRJ toxic options !! You are heading right back down to 1.18, DMRJ are going to make it so LOL !!
p.s. you are astcboy1, how many peculiarly deranged stupid individuals like you do you think there in the world ? I will give you a clue that even your 2 sad lonely brain cells can compute, it's the number between 0 and 2 !!
LOSER with a LOSER STOCK LOL !!!
I am pretty sure you mentioned my name in the opening post but then again your hypocrisy matches your stupidity. If you can think you can tear yourself away from all these ineffectual deflective personal attacks on me/ASTC perhaps you can explain to your fellow shareholders why an effective 1000-2000% interest rate is such a great deal for your fellow shareholders. Tell them why converting an original $5m debt into $50-100m of shareholder equity should thrill them and rock their boat. You and your fellow pumpers disgust me with this cynical defense of the indefensible.
ASTC's trailing yearly earnings per share is now 86c wake me up when IMSC has a positive eps or even loses less money than ASTC in any given quarter LOL !! Your clown stock is not even in the same league which is why you are in OTC loserville while ASTC soars with the other cash rich companies on Nasdaq.
15% is not the true interest on that convertible interest, it is more like 2000% for the 8c convertible interest. If you think that is a great deal for the shareholders you are even more dumber than I thought you was. No CEO in their right mind would continue with such a loan deal if viable cheaper choices were now available and they are now.
'Not officially but it should be the capital gains tax on (sale - book value = ~$25m) - tax loss allowance. I would be surprised if it is greater than $5m and it will probably be less, ~$3m is my WAG.'
I reckon about a million of this tax will now be clawed back over the next 3 quarters, hopefully more !
It has sold at least 8 MMS-1000 by my calculations of revenue already booked and leased out a couple more. You are the paid (IMSC) shill as evidenced by your user name and actions over here. Also more importantly you have had all the good news you was expecting this year and unlike your BS grandiose boasts all IMSC is doing is ZOOMING BACK to HALF ASTC's price LOL !! LOSER with a LOSER STOCK !!!!
IMSC is just my favorite company soap opera, I just love hearing your CEO spinning his grandiose fairy tales and telling all you sad saps to shut up when you meekly ask if he could stop DMRJ robbing you blind. Back to 1.18 for you and unlike you my predictions all come true in the end, remember 1.18 was the price it dropped to just before QPL as I predicted many times here and after DMRJ have finished dumping a few more million 8c options on you true believers you will be heading back there.
You just keep on lying like the stupid low-IQ moron that you are. This company has a great business plan told by me to you many times now, partner with leading OEMs and build disruptive stand alone products. It also has 4 distinct products now all in tangential parts of the market so there will be no overlap e.g. MMS, Rigaku ThermoAnalyzer, Battelle Next Generation Chemical Detector (for US Army) and IonTrac mass flow sensors.
' generated from a division that's wholly disconnected from the company's business at the moment.'
another bald-faced lie as 1stDetect is doing the Battelle NGCD and it is not an anomaly, it is only the very first part of a development contract that is ultimately worth $10m and the production contract is worth $110m just for the first 2-3 years out of a 6-year option. In other words the very beginning of a steady ramp of revenue from only one of the four distinct products this company is developing. The cash burnrate is also so low in this company that the free cash will not drop below $40m before it starts growing again which is a $100m better cash position than your sad loser company.
Meanwhile back in IMSC loserville IMSC can't even reach the 1.60s nevermind its previous peak of 1.84 which I told you would be the all time peak years ago and how right I was yet again. Not only that, we learned today that the 1170 order for $21.5m will not be finished until Sep 2015 which means I doubt you will even break-even over the next year which means your sad loser $60m debt will remain firmly in place with 115m cheap options and counting still in the wings ready to dilute your sad loser stock and crush any rally. Back to 1.18 for you sad losers while this stock floats serenely back into the 3s again.

Basic Navigation
absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream.
Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness
within; it had stood so for eighty years and might stand for eighty more.
Within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and
doors were sensibly shut; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone
of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone.

Harlem rapper Lil Mama has decided to keep the shots going toward female hip-hop nemesis Nicki Minaj by ridiculing the Young Money star during a live interview on New York's Power 105.1 radio station.
Interviewed by "The Breakfast Club," Mama made a distinction between herself and the self-proclaimed "Barbie."
"I'm gonna be me regardless; I'm not changing who I am because of promotion," she said defensively. "I don't look at TV and listen to radio and say, 'Oh, I'm gonna be a hoe now. Oh, I'm gonna do this now. I'm gonna talk like this. I'm gonna get a tattoo that says I'm a doll. I'm gonna get a chain that says I'm a doll. ' I'm Lil mama, till the day I die, period. [Is that another stab at Nick?] Gun shot." (Power 105.1)
Last month, Mama claimed Minaj stole her image and rocked it at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards.
"But my cut is blunt and futuristic and Nicki Minaj started wearing that bob on her head after she came to my show, so at the end of the day I know what I do and I know what I possess and I know who I am. I'm a trendsetter. The biggest form of flattery is imitation so I'm flattered. I understand the universal law. I'm not confused, I don't feel like a follower. I started so many things that new artists are doing now anyway -my style, the way I'm aggressive on a track, the way I come through, the way my beat bangs. There are so many things that were borrowed, that I influenced that's happening in music right, so I'm far from discouraged." (VIBE)
In 2009, Mama criticized Minaj for representing a sexual image toward younger fans.
"Nicki Minaj is a talented rapper," Lil Mama said in an interview. "She's out there, she's doing her. What she represents, I don't represent and she's doing something different, that's her lane. As the voice of the young people, Lil Mama, I focus on bringing up young girls to respect their bodies, respect theyself, do it up." (BET)
A few weeks ago, Mama talked about possibly taking a music hiatus and co-signed Minaj's recent power moves.
"Um, I'm just living my life, you know," Mama said when asked if she is working on a new album. "I'm about to move to Paris. I don't even know about music anymore. [Am I serious?] Maybe. I just dropped a new single, 'On & On & On' and it's getting a really good response. So I just want to thank my fans for that — [Nicki Minaj?] She's talented. She's doing her thing and she has her path and I wish her the best. God bless her. (Rap-Up)

Diane Garetano's school—whose curriculum covers piano as well as other instruments—was an immediate success in the first year. She was renting space to accommodate her ever-expanding student body and the pianos that kept sprouting extra keys. Today, The Piano Studio for Kids imparts instrument skills at two locations. The school also has evolved in terms of technique, with instructors now incorporating even more methods built on fun, structure, and positive reinforcement. Once a year, students may elect to show off the fruits of these labors, with admission free of charge at a recital culminating in certificates, gift bags, and applause.

For Tim Griffin, flying has always been a way of life. He's the third in a line of pilots within his family that, together, has more than 75 years of experience in the air. But Tim also realizes that being airborne doesn't feel natural to everyone, and that's why he founded FlyHome, LLC. Here he and fellow pilots work to ease flying phobias. To that end, pilots discuss the intricacies of flight with their clients during fear-of-flying classes, explaining how they avoid turbulence in the air, what they did to met their professional requirements, and how they subsist for hours on a single bag of salted peanuts. Sometimes they even take clients on tours of aircraft and air traffic control centers.
In the late 1970s career educators Eileen and Raymond Huntington opened the first Huntington Learning Center in Oradell, New Jersey. Their goal was to take an individualized approach to education, adjusting instructional tactics according to each student's set of needs. Their success in helping K–12 students prepare for exams and improve grades and study skills quickly spawned franchises across New York and New Jersey.
Today, the certified Huntington tutoring staff utilizes testing and rubrics for assessing each child's skills, academic needs, and potential for growth. The teachers even note the student's behavior in different testing and academic situations to craft a methodology sensitive to each child's learning style. Teachers also adhere to the company's code of ethics that stresses professionalism and confidentiality and encourages pupils to improve their grades honestly through dedicated study rather than shortcuts.
Today's smartphones may be technological marvels, but they're still susceptible to gravity. Fortunately, when they drop and break, the technicians at Phone Fix It can repair them. The staff conducts screen repair, as well as a service not even AAA will assist with: phone unlocking. Even better, the team fixes up gadgets from a wide array of brands, including Apple, Samsung, and BlackBerry.

- Mix together the ingredients for the topping, making sure the butter is hot — not boiling!
- Spread the topping carefully over the raw scone ring with a wooden spoon, a knife or a spatula.
- Sprinkle over a little extra cayenne (or paprika powder) over for colour.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 – 20 minutes or until puffy and golden.
- Serve hot or warm, and extra butter is unnecessary.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Mike Jacobs and Bradin Hagens earn D-Backs minor league awards in May
Triple-A Reno infielder Mike Jacobs and Double-A Mobile pitcher Bradin Hagens were awarded the Diamondbacks minor league player and pitcher of the month, respectively for the month of May.
Jacobs, who inked a minor league deal with the D-backs in June of 2013, had an Aces' record 34 RBI and tied for first in the minor leagues with 21 extra-base hits during the month. The 33-year-old also hit .345 with 14 doubles, seven home runs and 23 runs scored in 28 games in May. Jacobs has hit his stride this season, leading the Pacific Coast League in hits, doubles and total bases while batting .365.
Hagens went 3-0 in five starts for the BayBears while posting a 2.48 ERA and giving up eight earned runs in 29 innings pitched in May. Opponents only hit .186 against the D-backs sixth round pick in the 2009 first-year player draft. The 25-year old right-hander didn't allow more than three earned runs in any of his five starts, and was also given the Mobile player of the month award in April.

The sexual assault allegations that recently resurfaced against Bill Cosby first became public in 2005 when a former employee of his alma mater, Temple University, claimed he had drugged and abused her a year earlier at his suburban Philadelphia home. Here's how the controversy over the allegations, some dating to the 1960s, has unfolded since then:
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Your local fun zone, amusement center and theme park is facing an existential challenge these days.

ANDOVER, Mass., May 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Vertica today unveiled the Vertica Analytic Database for the Cloud, a new, on-demand version of its blazingly fast, grid-enabled columnar database hosted on Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2). The new pay-as-you-go offering enables companies to create large, high-performance analytic data marts without upfront data center costs and delays. Vertica for the Cloud completely changes the economics of business analytics, making it economically feasible to rapidly initiate a much broader spectrum of analytic projects and businesses.
Cloud computing is a new paradigm that gives companies the benefits of hosted software -- applications, servers, security, networking and storage running on a virtual grid computing environment managed by a third party. This approach frees companies to focus more of their resources on their core technology and business competencies. Vertica Analytic Database for the Cloud enables these companies to create additional competitive advantage by giving more people the ability to analyze more data faster.
The cloud scales on-demand -- additional servers are added to a user's cluster as workloads demand. Vertica for the Cloud is the only analytic database designed to be as elastic as the cloud. Its unique shared-nothing architecture, aggressive data compression and grid-based failover and recovery make it uniquely suited to process terabytes of data fast and economically on a 24x7 basis.
Digital content archiving solution provider Sonian Inc. is using Vertica for the Cloud to create its own Amazon EC2-based service that enables companies to store and search massive amounts of e-mails, instant messages and other digital content. "Our clients need to store and easily access hundreds of terabytes of data to comply with digital content management mandates," said Sonian CTO Greg Arnette. "Using the Vertica Analytic Database for the Cloud on Amazon EC2 allows us to build highly differentiated database performance into the Sonian Archive SA2 digital archiving service, while at the same time helping us preserve precious start-up capital by eliminating the time and cost of developing our own in-house data center."
Analytics on demand
Vertica Analytic Database for the Cloud is the smart choice for young companies like Sonian who provide outsourced analytic-intensive services to their clients. It also benefits large organizations by giving them the flexibility to fund a wider variety of analytic database projects and initiate them faster. Because there are no long-term financial commitments required, lines of business can pay monthly Vertica for the Cloud usage fees out of the operating expense budgets they control rather than going through lengthy capital expenditure approval processes. Companies can fund departmental, proof of concept and ad-hoc analytic data marts on-demand, gaining the business agility to respond to analytic requirements faster than the competition.
Key Vertica Analytic Database for the Cloud benefits include: -- Fastest "Time to Terabyte" -- Visit http://www.vertica.com/cloud to sign up and have a fully provisioned analytic database ready for data loading and querying within minutes -- no waiting weeks to procure, install and configure a database server grid; -- Fastest analytic performance -- More than 100x faster than any other database in the cloud; -- Lowest startup cost -- No upfront hardware, data center or administration overhead. Customers only pay for database usage. When they stop using it, they stop paying for it; -- Painless scalability -- Customers can increase/decrease the scale of their instance seamlessly and instantly as data volume changes; -- 24x7 analytics in the cloud -- Data redundancy, failover and recovery are automatically handled by Vertica making it the only failure-resilient analytic cloud database; -- Smallest cloud footprint -- Vertica for the Cloud compresses data by up to 90 percent, thus lowering resource costs and improve query performance; and -- Proven hosted platform -- Hosted by Amazon Web Services, with its proven data center resources.
"Planning for future database storage and query needs is an inexact science at best, often costing companies millions more than they really need to spend because they bought based on maximum usage estimates," said Vertica CEO Ralph Breslauer. "We've taken the guesswork out of the process with Vertica Analytic Database for the Cloud. It assures customers they will only pay for what they need, while delivering the query performance to help companies capitalize on business opportunities when they arise."
Amazon and Vertica
Vertica and Amazon are working together to promote cloud-based analytic data management with Vertica Analytic Database for the Cloud. On May 22 at 2 p.m. EDT, the two companies are co-sponsoring a Webinar entitled "Analytic Data Management in the Cloud with Vertica and Amazon Web Services." During the Webinar, a live demonstration of the database will be presented. To sign up for the Webinar, visit https://vertica.webex.com/vertica/onstage/g.php?t=a&d=557979271.
Pricing and Availability
Vertica Analytic Database for the Cloud is available immediately. It scales easily to manage tens of terabytes on demand. Pricing starts at $2,100 per month to store and query up to 500 GB of data. Visit http://www.vertica.com/cloud for more information.

I worked at Scientific Games
One can learn alot through trial and error @ SG. Also you will gain experience with the cutting edge technology. Money is not a problem so you will be compensated for your work and given the tools to do an effective job. The work environment is very close knit and personable. You will develop life long friendships and relationships. The benefits are great and very competitive compared to other manufacturing facilities. Even with all of the drawbacks SG is a great place to work. The location is excellent. There is constant growth and the sky is the limit for future of this company.
The amount of commitment is excessive due to the lack of capable people to step up to the plate. The management and leadership qualities could use some work. There is alot office politics and fear tactics used to ensure that you get the job done. Alittle more professionalism and tact by the upper management team will attract a more professional and talented market.
Work on an effective succession plan to develop future leaders. Also think before you do things then you would not have to cover up all of the indiscretions later on.

Joffrey Ballet: American Legends
Joffrey Ballet's American Legends Celebrates Acclaimed Choreographers
Full Price
$81.00 - $152.00
Our Price
$40.50 - $76.00*
The Joffrey Ballet's 2012-2013 season is devoted to presenting a wide range of works that were either created new for the company or drawn from its legacy. Many choreographers received a place on the American stage because Robert Joffrey was their champion, and American Legends celebrates that. For example, in 1972 Robert Joffrey brought Jerome Robbins' Interplay into his repertoire. And Joffrey first collaborated with Twyla Tharp in 1973, a relationship that's celebrated with the presentation of her Nine Sinatra Songs. The legacy of championing new works continues with the premiere of Stanton Welch's Son of Chamber Symphony. And Sea Shadow is performed in honor of the season that marks what would have been Joffrey co-founder Gerald Arpino's 90th birthday.
