I clicked one called Hidden, which showed a standard numeric keypad, the kind used on cell phones and calculators. The keypad was hidden while a man's voice recited a short list of numbers. When his list was complete, the keypad reappeared, and I was supposed to click on the list—in reverse order. Another game showed a circle with nine smaller circles strung along it like carriages on a Ferris wheel. As the big circle slowly rotated in a clockwise direction, the little circles lit up in a random sequence. Once the sequence was completed, I had to click on the little circles in the same order.
All of the games were easy on the first pass, but immediately grew hard enough—meaning that the sequence to be remembered grew longer and was presented faster—that I began making mistakes.
Having offered Cogmed to a few dozen of her patients, as young as six and as old as 63 (including a successful attorney whose ADHD was diagnosed in her forties), Garcia said she's convinced of its benefits, sometimes in combination with medication and sometimes on its own. And at a total cost to families of about $2,000 for the 25 sessions, she said, it compares favorably with many other kinds of ADHD treatments.
Where Cogmed beats all other forms of cognitive training is in the number of published, randomized clinical trials demonstrating its benefits and the number of trials still under way, led by independent researchers at leading institutions without any commercial connection to the company.
Julie Schweitzer, director of the ADHD Program at the University of California in Davis's MIND Institute, conducted a randomized study of children diagnosed with ADHD. When published in July 2012 in the journal Neurotherapeutics, Schweitzer's study found that children in the placebo group spent just as much time off-task at the end of the study as they had at the beginning, but those who trained on Cogmed sharply increased the amount of time they spent doing school work.
Children who have survived cancer are another group often in need of cognitive rehabilitation. "Somewhere around 20 to 40 percent of children treated for leukemia will end up with cognitive changes over time," said Kristina K. Hardy, a neuropsychologist at Children's National Medical Center in Washington, D.C. "For those treated for brain tumors, the figure is conservatively around 60 to 80 percent."
What distinguishes these young survivors from most others seeking cognitive rehabilitation is that the effects of radiation or chemotherapy on the brain become apparent only with the passage of time. Immediately following treatment, a recent study found, survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukemia showed no significant change in their verbal IQ scores, but by early adulthood, their scores had dropped by an average of 10.3 points.
In 2012, Hardy reported the results of a pilot study comparing Cogmed to a placebo form of computerized. Among 20 children who had survived either brain cancer or leukemia, those who trained with Cogmed saw substantial improvements compared to the placebo group on their visual working memory and in parent-rated learning problems.
Most recently, children with Down syndrome have been shown to benefit from Cogmed. "Following training," concluded a study published last June, "performance on trained and untrained visuospatial short-term memory tasks was significantly enhanced for children in the intervention group. This improvement was sustained four months later. These results suggest that computerized visuospatial memory training in a school setting is both feasible and effective for children with Down syndrome."
Brian Skotko, co-director of the Down Syndrome Program at Massachusetts General Hospital, told me, "If Cogmed was a drug, everyone would call this study groundbreaking."
Not all studies of Cogmed have been positive. A large one published in October found little benefit. But as Klingberg has written in defense of Cogmed in particular and working-memory training in general: "Working memory training is still a young field of research. As with all science, no single experiment explains everything, and results are never perfectly consistent … Many questions remain. But there is no going back to the notion that working memory capacity is fixed."

TOP COPS: Horses gone wild!
Date: December 9, 2011
by: Observer Staff
Dec. 4
Horses gone wild!
6:45 a.m. — 2800 block of 48th Drive East. Animal complaint. The responding deputy arrived in reference to a call of a large horse running loose in the 2800 block of 38th Avenue East. Upon his arrival, the deputy observed the horse repeatedly attempt to enter the pasture located between 30th Street East and U.S. 301 from 48th Drive East to 38th Avenue East. The deputy had dispatch attempt several phone calls to locate the horse's owner. The deputy attempted to push the horse toward a gate into the pasture but was unsuccessful. The horse skirted the perimeter of the property, attempting several times to push through the fence. The horse made his way to the 2700 block of 48th Drive East and was nearing U.S. 301. The deputy cut the horse off with his vehicle, trying to turn him away from 301. The horse continued to ram the fence trying to get to the pasture.

It's not them, it's you
7:30 p.m. — 1300 block of South Tamiami Trail. Trespassing. A coffee shop employee called police to report a customer who kept harassing the staff. Police located the suspect outside, and he explained "the entire city just wants to harass him" and stated various businesses around town have issues with him. When he was handed his trespass notice that banished him from the property, police explained that the problem most likely lies with him and not all the businesses in town.

10:25 p.m. — 3100 block of GMD. Public Service. Police checked on the welfare of a woman, who said she was OK and was waiting for the bus to Sarasota. The woman was still waiting 45 minutes later, so police drove her to Sarasota themselves.

Nov. 6
Where am I?
4:04 a.m. — 5300 block of Ocean Boulevard. Impaired Person. A caller complained that when he woke up, a man he did not know was in his hotel room. When a deputy arrived, the deputy found the man sleeping in a chair in the room. The man appeared to be intoxicated; the deputy had difficulty waking him. Once he was awake, the man didn't know where he was or how he had ended up there. He also told the deputy he had no idea where he was staying in Sarasota, and he could provide no phone number for the deputy to call, to reach someone to take care of him. The man said he had drunk 24 beers the previous night, but he would not say whether he was an alcoholic. He did tell the deputy he drinks every day. The deputy invoked the Marchman Act and transported the man to Sarasota Memorial Hospital for treatment.

It has been a wild, crazy ride the last 4 weeks! Below is part of the reason why.

Are you running toward abundance & joy? Or are you trying to outrun failure"? Lisa Nichols
I love this quote! I read it a few days ago in an article in the June issue of O magazine by author Lisa Nichols. I think it is a question we all need to ask ourselves, but before any of us jump to say "oh I'm running to joy slap on the brakes a second and really think about it. most of us won't admit to the fact that we maybe trying to outrun failure.
It is ok, it is very human. In fact in U.S. Culture we have seen to develop this do or die attitude that somehow if we're not scaling, jumping flying despite all the odds that something is wrong with us. We have to be the best, the fastest, the smartest, the thinnest, the prettiest (and any other "est" you can think of, somehow or another have super-human abilities to be faster then a speeding bullet, leaping from the tallest building )and nonetheless in a single bound).
It'll never be enough, WE may never be enough according to the stories that bombard us everyday all day long, unrelenting,bombastic lies we tell ourselves, we tell each other about ourselves or others who would have us believe that the brass ring is just beyond the horizon/.
Whew and we wonder why obesity is on the rise, why we are the most medicated society, why people are doing insane things to themselves and to others in the name of this "est".
So I ask again of ourselves...(you do not have to answer it here if you don't want to)...what are we running to? Or running away from?
For the last 2 weeks I've been without a phone for a battery of reasons i won't go into. And because of it I have minimum contact online.
You know what I discovered? My stress level is down, I'm sleeping better, I've become more creative, I'm reading etc.
No I'm not against phones, texting, I don't Twitter (no reason to), Facebook etc.l I think they all serve a marvelous purpose. Nor am I a cultural snob. What I learned was thee were people I was having far too much contact with that was raising my anxiety level in one way or another. This is not saying they were purposely doing something to me. Not at all.
What I am saying is that I realized I was not missing their company. At all. There are a few I find refreshingly delightful, I enjoyed being around them, but (still) way too many who I felt obliged to (why I don't know) be with although they were stressing me too the max. My being on a "non- communication retreat" my attitude has remarkably changed. That includes where I'm living; I don't belong here. I don't fare well in high rise apartments complexes, nor around busybodies who relishing gossiping all day, creating stories and devising ways to not only have nothing for themselves but aren't satisfied until you don't either. I have a lot more living to do and resignation is becoming to me.
My sister in law said to me a few weeks ago that all she wanted for me was to find a place where I can be happy. She's known me for 37+ years & remarked that this very tough , horribly tough last 5 years has taken a toll on me. She can see it and it worries her. My toughness & resiliency & fierceness is still there but what she's noticed was my joy is being sapped.
That wild child running wild seemed to have been muzzled/confined...hiding. I've seen flashes of her lately though
So here I am...running again. But running toward something good, something deliriously wonderful that belongs to me.
BTW when I come off that "retreat" only a very few will know. The rest of them will have to go on without me.
I need every bit of my strength to do what I gotta do.
"If you have a pulse,you have a purpose"~Kathye Lee Gifford
My heart is beating strongly... I'll be back on line next week.
So much has happened, but I'm turning the corner!
It will all come together soon.
As a friend said to me: "In a bacon & egg breakfast, the chicken is involved, but the pig is committed"...
The hen invests by dropping an egg. The pig gives up their life. Which one are you?
I know what I am.
I've not been on Sparks in awhile as there's been s plethora of events happening that needed my attentions.
This is just a capsule but I'll preface with I will be back here shortly.
I almost lost my mother 3 weeks ago. She is 99 years old and had a bout of pneumonia several weeks ago that they seem not to be able to eradicate. She was in the hospital for quite some time. Mother is now in hospice as there is nothing medically they can do for her, but she's a trooper.
She now has congestive heart failure, fluid in her lungs and recently emphysema although she has never smoked in her life. Eventually her hear will give out. But this warrior woman has all her faculties, her determination and downright stubborness defies the odds. She she can talk & even sit up for a few minutes in a wheelchair but can only talk for a few minutes without total exhaustion. I got a chance to spend a few days with her as at one point we thought the end was drawing near, but she rallied again.
And there I was in the middle of a project that upon completion, I would have a chance to reboot my career, but Mother took and still takes priority.
Then Sunday morning, I learned the last remaining elder man in the family passed away at 90. He and my mother were 1st cousins and was closed. So my mother is now officially the last remaining family member of her generation & the matriach. We have 7 living generations.
4 days upon my return from seeing her I was rushed to the hospital with what intially thought was a heart attack.
It was not. My heart has always been strong. It was pure unadulterated stress causing my MS to flare.
I got a physical I wasn't planning on having. As a sidebar with the exception that I came to realized over the last 4 years I've gain 75 lbs! Every bit I had released and some. I now weigh in at 325... Never did I think I would see that number. If you don't think stress can accelrate weight gain, I got news for you.
I, though defied the odds, no cholesterol, diabetes etc that normally is associated with obesity. My BP was indeed high but considering this last month it is not surprising.
But all things considering, knowledge is indeed power and now it is time to put some things into place. And do it now. I'll be back shortly but wanted to update since there's been many who have queried & thank you so so much for thinking of me.

BP Comment Quick Links
August 27, 2014
Minor League Update
Games of Tuesday, August 26th
Hitter of the Night: Joc Pederson, OF, Dodgers (Albuquerque, AAA): 3-4, 2 R, 2B, HR, BB.
Pitcher of the Night: Mark Appel, RHP, Astros (Corpus Christi, AA): 8 IP, 2 H, 0 R, BB, 10 K.
Best of the Rest
Christian Bethancourt, C, Braves (Gwinett County, AAA): 3-5, 2 R, HR, K. There's not going to be too much power coming out of Bethancourt, who hasn't taken the necessary steps forward to become the regular the Braves had hoped he would become. Still, he'll be a big leaguer because of his glove, and, more notably, his arm.
Casey Meisner, RHP, Mets (Brooklyn, SS): 6 IP, 4 H, R, BB, 11 K. Meisner is the definition of tall and lanky, but he repeats his delivery well for his age and size, and he has a potential bat-missing changeup, as evidenced on Tuesday. There's still a lot of development left, but Meisner is yet another capable arm in an increasingly impressive stable of Mets pitching prospects.
Eduardo Rodriguez, LHP, Red Sox (Portland, AA): 7 IP, 7 H, R, 0 BB, 7 K. It was a disappointing season for Rodriguez—until he became a Red Sox. Since the trade, Rodriguez has allowed just three runs in five starts and seen his strikeout rate spike.

I'm surprised the Dodgers haven't made a move with one of the outfielders to make room for Pederson.
Aug 27, 2014 04:53 AM
Easier said than done with all the contracts. As a Dodger fan, I'm crying spoiled tears that he isn't in LA yet.
Aug 27, 2014 06:28 AM
Point taken. Then trade Pederson to someone for a 3b or 2b. Either way, it seems like the Dodgers are wasting an asset.
Aug 27, 2014 08:38 AM
There's a limited number of readily available players who would be a clear upgrade on what they have already at second or third, and would be a sensible trade to make, especially if the Dodgers are looking to clear outfield space in the off-season. In any case, everyone seems to be assuming that Pederson would hit from day 1 in the bigs. That's a pretty big assumption. I don't think them giving him plenty of AAA time is a big issue, and I don't think he's clearly better than their existing outfielders right now.
Aug 27, 2014 08:50 AM
Makes you wonder if they might package Pederson, Urias and one of the current outfielders in a winter deal to get Giancarlo Stanton.
Aug 27, 2014 09:03 AM
Old School
I don't think that's enough for Giancarlo....I would think the Fish would be looking for Seager as well as Pederson and Urias as a starting point. They (the Fish) hold all of the cards in any of these kind of trade scenario's given Giancarlo's season.
Aug 27, 2014 09:45 AM
Minus the fact that there's no chance in hell he'd ever sign an extension. If teams hold out for long enough (BIG if, I think teams are chomping at the bit to talk to the Marlins about him) and Stanton's free agency starts to loom, I could see the price for him dropping considerably as the Marlins start to get scared that he ends up walking.
Aug 27, 2014 12:29 PM
Watched Appel's start last night, looked very promising. fastball touched 98 in the 2nd and was still up to 97 in the 7th, got tons of the frisco hitters to chase his slider and changeup out of the zone. Also Jake Thompson who went against Appel was very solid, 6.1 innigs, 3 hits, 0 ER, 3 BB, 6 K's.
Aug 27, 2014 06:11 AM
Clint Frazier has now gone 2 straight games without a strikeout. Its probably not the first time it has happened this year, but it seems like it. In his last 5 games he is 7/17 with a 2/5 K/BB. After following him all year, this actually seems worth mentioning.
Aug 27, 2014 08:48 AM
I saw Frazier on Sunday. Didn't do too much with the stick, but he displayed good pitch recognition, spitting on breaking balls away that much of the other talent on hand was whiffing on.

Spokane, already with an accomplished group of receivers on its roster, added another Wednesday in Robert Redd. He's a three-year AFL veteran who also played three seasons in NFL Europe. He was on the Philadelphia Eagles' practice squad in 2005.
More below.
From Shock P.R. …
Redd, 5-foot-10 and 200 pounds, spent three years in the Arena Football League playing for the Colorado Crush (2004, 2007) and the Cleveland Gladiators (2008). Redd also spent time with several NFL teams including the Indianapolis Colts, the Atlanta Falcons, and the Philadelphia Eagles, where he earned a spot on the team's practice squad in 2005. In addition, Redd played three seasons for the Berlin Thunder (NFL Europe) catching seven passes for 102 yards and one touchdown in the 2005 World Bowl.
In 2008, Redd led the Cleveland Gladiators in receptions (129), receiving yards (1,523) and added 16 touchdown receptions.
Redd helped the Gladiators advance to the Conference Championship game where they fell to the Philadelphia Soul. In that game, Redd recorded a team leading 11 receptions for 152 yards receiving with two touchdowns.
"With his knowledge of the arena game and his big game experience, I think he's going to be a tremendous addition for this team," Head Coach Rob Keefe said. "Robert Redd really epitomizes the type of players we want here."
As an AFL veteran, Redd is already familiar with many of his new teammates.
"When I looked at the roster, I recognized a lot of the guys because I have either played with them or against them," Redd explained. "I know that these guys are winners and the type I want to go to battle with."

I saw it last night and was totally shocked to see my nomination. Now I'm going to have to try to be helpful.
I saw this a while back and mentioned it before in response to another niner looking for material and books to learn CS. There's a Google Tech Talk (61 minutes) about the course, available here http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7654043762021156507#, which I really enjoyed as well.
You should definitely not call it B flat because everyone would have a brutal time typing it out. C# was bad enough for that. Also, "flat" just sounds bad. I also wouldn't name it C anything because it doesn't look anything like C, and using C in the name implies that the syntax looks something like C and is derived from it.
As for how names are found ... well, I know C# was picked because it's derived from C++ syntax, C+++ is just too many +'s but # looks like a bunch of pluses put together, 4 of course, and that's close enough to emphasize that C# is an evolution of C++ in a sense, but quite different).
F# - F obviously F stands for Functional. They didn't really need the #, but there's already an F - a subset of Fortran, so the # distinguishes it from F and also hints that it's a .NET language, because of C#. Having a musical connotation in .NET languages kind of ties things together. I always wondered why they didn't call VB.NET, VB#. Actually they could drop the V(isual) altogether ... it's kind of lost it's purpose considering that many languages have drag and drop designer based IDEs now.
I would consider the syntax and inspiration for your language and maybe base it off of that. XVAR is probably not a bad name. If you can, maybe you can relate it to another language in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programming_languages.
H, N, O, P, U, V, W, and X are the only single-letter names not listed in Wikipedia. P would be too funny to use in conversation: "I wrote it in P". In general I don't think single letter names are a great idea nowadays.
You should consider what you would find if you tried a Google search ... I heard the creator of Clojure said he picked the name because it sounds like closure and nothing came up in Google when he searched for that. If you search for XVAR now, you see the domain name is taken and there are some technical references related to Cisco, and other various results.
I can't believe there's no language called Babbage.
EDIT: There is a language called Babbage ... it's not in the Wikipedia list referenced above, but is present in Wikipedia: here. (Update: I've added it to the list of programming languages page.)
If anyone remembers back before .NET shipped, they might recall that Visual Studio was this package of very separate IDEs ... VB6, VC++, Interdev, FoxPro ... I can't remember anything else ... but they were all pretty separate. To really learn everything was a pain back then too. Then there was DNA and COM/DCOM/COM+ and ATL which all took a long, long time to understand. It wasn't easy then either. .NET consolidated and simplified things tremendously. Now, over the past 10 years, things have gotten more complex again, with a ton of libraries. Now there's more functional programming being incorporated in, and we have 4 UI frameworks instead of 3 (ASP, VB6 forms, VC++ forms then, and now Silverlight, WPF, WinForms, and ASP.NET (well if you count MVC and WebForms as separate, there's 6)). It's time for another great consolidation effort. I think it will come, out of necessity. I thought the technology previously known as Volta, with tier-splitting, might be the answer.
Merry Christmas to you too.

I think once you asked for procs and authentication people here will think you have a job to do and we're just handing you source code.
Sounds like a test for a job.
Embedded scripting engines ... generation of user defined objects from user defined data, built from a highly specific business related DSL, especially useful for dynamic search tools embedded in a business application and applications requiring end-user customizability of relational data, and auto-generation of CRUD based forms as well as business logic and validation specific to user defined data and forms. There's a ton of stuff this would be useful for.
@MyLifeinCode: You might look into the course "The Elements of Computing Systems: Building a Modern Computer from First Principles". There's a short video here, (also linked from the first link), that explains how they literally go from NAND to Tetris, building a computer (on a VM), the language, everything. When I heard about it, I found it fascinating, and it would be the way I would teach someone new to programming (i.e. if I ever have a child who is interested). They provide most of the chapters of the book for free, and powerpoints, and sample code are available. I think for someone wanting to learn embedded systems, this kind of course teaches you basically everything about a computer, VM and languages from the ground up.

I'm not going to keep trying to post this

This new 'update' bites! I've tried a few times to post this, but no luck.
Anyway - my foot problem, great pain, swelling, etc. is gout. It hurts.
|Tue, 10-12-2010 - 12:55pm
Frank takes colchicin (sp?) during flareups and takes indocin daily. He has hydrocodone if needed. Vicodin doesn't agree well with him. He's got a really sensitive stomach.
He just had shoulder surgery a couple weeks ago---real fun.....NOT. He had a bunch of detritus, chips and stuff in there they went in and cleaned up. He's about 80% now. Has been taking Oxycodone 5mg. He's so sensitive to the stomach, he could only take one at a time vs the 2-3 they said he could take. So he was in a lot of pain which = crabby/needy.
I'm just plugging along....another year older. But not deeper in debt, thankfully. No major health problems, nothing new. Just me. Have one new granddaughter since January. She is a fat, squeezable go-getter.
Not much else to tell. So better get back to work here.
(This board configuration is weird...sometime need to take time to explore more.)

Wow! Hi Red! Haven't seen you in ages!
I'm hoping the docs can come up with some meds that will help. My neighbor has gout really bad, and gave me a print out of what he takes, so I can show it to my doc. He used to
|Mon, 10-11-2010 - 10:39pm
I'm on prescription anti-inflamatories and vicodin, but have to be careful of them, since they react with my blood thinners. I've had to go for extra blood tests to check my levels. So far, with some minor adjustments, all is well. I hope to be off of them, soon, since they make me so darn sleepy. Every time I sit down, I nod off. Not good, and I haven't taken a vicodin since Thursday because they really wipe me out. Ah, genetics. Such fun!
|Mon, 10-11-2010 - 10:24pm
Uric acid crystals build up in the joints, usually starting in the feet. Only about 1/4 to 1/3 of it is from food, the rest is made in our bodies. Mine seems to be genetic, but agrivated by chronic dehydration. If you don't get enough water, you can't flush out the excess. I've started to keep a pitcher of water on the counter and am trying to drink it throughout the day, but so far I'm not doing that well at it.
|Mon, 10-11-2010 - 3:58pm
Hey, Jan! Long time, no see! thought I'd take a few minutes and see what the new boards are like. Remains to be seen whether this will actually post or not.
Sorry to hear about your gout. Frank has had problems with it for years and finally a couple years ago his doctor came up with just the right formula of meds for him to take, and now he rarely has flare-ups. But he does get them once in a while.
Where is yours? Your foot? He gets it in toes, knee (mostly), shoulder, elbow and fingers.
Not fun, I know! Hope you get it under control soon.

Preppy Music? A Reader Question and Question for Readers
Specifically, there was a question in the last post that read:
On a wholly separate topic, you have told us a little about your taste for British television and about some of your favorite books, but how about music? Beyond the Prelude to Bach's Cello Suite 1 in G, is there an artist, genre, etc. that is, IYO, quintessentially preppy? What does TDP's playlist look like?This is, of course, very complicated. First, it may not even be "playlistable". Preppy music may in part be defined by the attributes of: high quality, live, intimate, shared across generations, and ideally played in venues that don't involve tickets.
More so, when it comes to music, most of us are "of our time." Nevertheless, some would argue, intellectually, that the traditional hymns might be high on the preppy music list. Consider:
- Hymns cross a range, from piano to organ to a cappella, from professional to amateur, and from formal events to more casual gatherings.
- They are at home at a Vineyard wedding, graces before meal at summer camps, all-school meetings at prep schools and, of course, Sunday services. (At Choate they sing "Rejoice Ye Pure in Heart" and at Groton and St. Paul's they sing "Ye Watchers and Ye Holy Ones." Many prep schools have an official hymn where the words have been written by an alumnus.)
- They are close to timeless, and will likely be around hundreds of years from now. (Obviously, that has not always been the case. Even beyond the 95 theses, Congregationalists did not sing hymns until the late 19th century, and thought that the organ was the instrument of the devil. For a timeline comparison, it was in 1865 that Lord Tweedmouth developed the Golden Retriever in Scotland.)
- Hymns were undoubtedly a context in the life of so many role models of prep in the last century and earlier.
- Many to this day include snippets of hymns in email signatures. One sailor signs off with "Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee, For those in peril on the sea!"

The Twin Villages of Damariscotta and Newcastle, Maine
This area has a deep history of shipbuilding, and was a hub in the 1800s. And today, even though the year round population is shy of 4,000, the two villages (separated by the Damariscotta River) have the bustling feel and vitality of a much larger community.
|The Chapman-Hall house, the first house built in Damariscotta (1754) recently had it's chimney (which services four fireplaces) redone. 240 years old bricks were used, and it was done the old way, using lime and sand.
One landmark of the villiages is the Baptist Church. Just last year, after three years, it got its steeple back, after raising over $500,00.00 (with a final $35,000.00 gift from a 92 year old town resident - :) !).
There was a public fish chowder supper at the Newcastle Firehouse to raise money to help with home-heating bills.
|...(the firefighters turned their meeting room into a dining room, where it was hard not to admire the Kelly Green sweater),...
A third (cultural and intellectual) landmark is The Lincoln Country News. The twin villages produce a suberb local newspaper. Each week the LCN is bursting with original articles, photography, local columns, and community announcements. And it is still full-sized.
|Damariscotta and New Castle, and their rich history in shipping, are the subjects of many books including this one...
|...written by the author of Merchant of the Medomak and whose skills are used by Bath's Maine Maritime Museum).

10 Stocks to Benefit from Stronger Yuan
8. Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) explores for copper, silver and gold.
Quarter: First-quarter profit multiplied to $945 million, or $2, as revenue soared 68%. The operating margin rose from 27% to 47%. The balance sheet stores $3.8 billion of cash and $6.1 billion of debt, translating to a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.6.
Stock: Freeport-McMoRan has appreciated 36% during the past year, beating U.S. indices. It trades at a price-to-projected-earnings ratio of 7.1, a 54% discount to its peer average. Its PEG ratio of 0.2 reflects an 80% discount to estimated fair value.
Consensus: Of firms covering Freeport, 13, or 65%, rate its stock "buy", six rate it "hold" and one ranks it "sell." Barclays (BCS) predicts that the stock will gain 74% to $120. JPMorgan (JPM) values it at $111, leaving 41% of potential upside.

Band Structure Lab
Computes the electronic and phonon structure of various materials in the spatial configuration of bulk , quantum wells, and wires
Launch Tool
Archive Version 3.1.0
Published on 24 Jan 2014
Latest version: 3.1.7. All versions
doi:10.4231/D3XS5JH2N cite this
This tool is closed source.
Published on
Band structure Lab uses the sp3s*d5 tight binding method to compute E(k) for bulk, planar, and nanowire semiconductors. Using this tool, you can quickly compute and visualize the band structures of bulk semiconductors, thin films, and nanowires for various materials, growth orientations, and strain conditions. Physical parameters such as the bandgap and effective mass can also be obtained from the computed E(k). The bandedges and effective masses of the bulk materials and the nanostructures structures can be analyzed as a function of various strain conditions.
As explained in a related seminar, correct band structure is essential for modeling devices at the nano scale.
Chapter 5 of Quantum Transport by S. Datta (Cambridge, 2005)
Starting from version 2.0, the tool is now powered by a C code named OMEN. All previous versions were coded in Matlab.
Version 2.0 is a radical new release of the code and we are aware of several issues that are not fully stable. We very much appreciate feedback if certain features of the tool do not function properly. The last 1.X version of Band structure Lab is still available at the following link: Bandstructure Lab Version 1.2 (published).
Phyiscal Limitations:
Different Tight-binding models can give different electron and hole effective masses. This happens since different band models give different curvatures.Always a higher and more sophisticated band model will give better estimation of effective masses. Eg: sp3d5s* TB models give better estimate of effective mass compared to sp3s* TB models.
Known issues with Version 2.0:
bulk effective mass table is not correct for light, and heavy hole bands charge self-consistent calculation appears to be unstable for some devices nanowire dimensions exceeding 5-6nm in diameter appear to crash the simulations. More work is needed in the tool

New Oregon State Beavers coach Gary Andersen exercising patience while hiring staff
By Gina Mizell | firstname.lastname@example.com
December 18, 2014, 4:24PM
Andersen added the current recruiting "dead period," where in-person contact between prospects and coaches is prohibited until Jan. 14, has allowed him to slow down on hires. And he is especially glad he hasn't "jumped the gun" on coaching moves after studying Pac-12 film during the past week. Those sessions have only reinforced how up-tempo the league is, and that the defensive staff should be familiar with combating that style of play. Full story »

Olathe South, ranked No. 2 in Class 6A behind defending state champion Wichita Heights in the latest Kansas Basketball Coaches Association poll, flexed its muscle in an opening-round game. The Falcons soared past the Lady Panthers 68-32.
"In Class 6A, that's the best basketball that's played in Kansas," Great Bend head coach Jason Tatkenhorst said. "We know we were in for a tough ...

A Charlotte doctor who was at the center of controversy in 2012 over comments he made to abortion protesters about African-American babies has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman, police say.
Dr. Ashutosh "Ron" Virmani, 59, was arrested Thursday after a woman complained that she had been sexually assaulted. Virmani is charged with second-degree rape and two counts of second-degree sexual offense.
Police said officers were called Wednesday night to Carolinas Medical Center after a 49-year-old woman reported a sexual assault. The victim said the assault took place at Virmani's residence in southeast Charlotte.
The woman told officers that he prevented her from leaving his home during the assault.
Virmani, who works at A Preferred Woman's Health Center, made headlines in August 2012 after release of a video of a discussion he had with members of Operation Save America, an anti-abortion group. According to its website, A Preferred Woman's Health Center is "committed to offering women and their families confidential abortion care."
Members of Operation Save America said they went to Virmani's residence on July 26, 2012. During the video, Virmani told the group, "Let me see you adopt one of those ugly black babies. Go ahead. Adopt these babies, OK? Take them off the taxpayers' money."
Virmani has conducted a long campaign – fueled by letters and emails – against Novant Health Presbyterian Medical Center in Charlotte. In 1995, a hospital peer review committee suspended Virmani's hospital privileges after he made a surgical mistake.
Virmani said he was punished more severely than other doctors because of his Asian-Indian background.

I have been working at Talisen Technologies, Inc.Pros
Talisen Technologies is a very flat organization. It is not out of the ordinary to see and speak with every CxO in one day. It is also a very good-natured organization. What I mean by that is that there are few battles between employees/managers/departments. This is because the work-style is very laid back (see downsides). Talisen is an incredibly flexible place to work. Although the vacation-time is quite stingy (starting out, at least) it is not a problem to work late one day in order to leave early the next. Management is pretty hands-off in this regard.Cons
There is little process at Talisen Technologies. Despite being an IT firm and doing process analysis for clients (we actually do a very good job of it) there is little internal pressure to improve our shortcomings and we spend a lot of time putting out fires due to poor communication and misunderstood requirements. These problems occur at other companies, but what is strange with Talisen is that people recognize the issues but do nothing about them.
Also, while being laid-back is good, sometimes it goes too far. For example, there is a dress code. Some people choose to follow it, some do not. There is no feedback for either group.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Bite the bullet, and spend the time/money on internal processes. You have enough fires and you will eventually get burned. The solutions to these issues are in everyone's heads... it is important to not only ask employees how things can be improved but to also act on these suggestions.Recommends

The Government Has Been Dropping Rabies Vaccines By Plane For Years
A couple weeks ago the Associated Press reported that the Department of Agriculture was dropping new vanilla-flavored rabies vaccines by airplane over New Hampshire forests as part of a five-state pilot study. Okay, if that sounds a little strange to you, get this: apparently the government has been distributing rabies vaccines by plane for over fifteen years. The story piqued the interest of NHPR environmental reporter Sam Evans-Brown, so he did some digging and is here to tell us more.

"Good story, disappointing narrator."
Tess Garritisen,s stories are usually full of twists and turns and this was no exception.
I prefer mysteries that don't tell you in the first chapter who the killer is. It's no fun knowing and then the story revolves around how the good guys figure it out. Gerritsen keeps you guessing right to the end.
If the narrators are going to do accents for a particular local, they should be able to do them well. Tanya Eby made the characters with Boston accents sound like anything but someone from Boston would sound to the point of annoyance.

DC Media Dominates Mediaite's 2014 'Very BEST in Media' Awards
Mediaite released its 2014 "Very BEST in Media" awards this afternoon, and without a doubt, the journalists of Washington won the day.
From CNN's Jake Tapper being named "Best Cable News Host" for his show The Lead, to Fox News Sunday's Chris Wallace as the "Best Sunday Show Moderator" — across the board, DC's newspeople dominated the list.
As the website points out, the selections were not based on ratings or popularity, but who, in their opinion, "did important, smart, or entertaining work, Nielsen be damned."
Among the other honorees mentioned by Mediaite were CBS White House Correspondent, Mark Knoller, for "Best Media Twitter Account"; The Washington Post's T. Rees Shapiro for "Best Reporting"; and Ta-Nehisi Coates of The Atlantic for "Best Print/Web Columnist."
A big FishbowlDC congrats to all!

MSNBC Live will now run from 8am to noon. "As we do on Sunday, we will break into the afternoon programming for breaking news," a network rep says…
Moyers Says FNC "Huffs & Puffs," But "Does Little Serious Original Reporting"
Bill Moyers' essay about Rupert Murdoch, airing tonight on PBS, is already on YouTube and The Huffington Post.
Here's what Moyers says about FNC:
"His worst offense with FOX News is not even its baldly partisan agenda. Far worse is the travesty he's made of its journalism. FOX News huffs and puffs, pontificates and proclaims, but does little serious original reporting. His tabloids sell babes and breasts, gossip and celebrities. Now he's about to bring under the same thumb one of the few national newsrooms remaining in the country."
New On FOXNews.com: "Dotcom Daily"

Zucker Thinks We Should "Back Off" Couric & "Give Her A Break"
Jeff Zucker, Katie Couric's former boss, thinks some of the scrutiny directed toward her has been "unfair and sexist in tone."
In a FT.com video interview, Zucker said: "Frankly, I think everybody should just back off, give her a break, and let her do her job, and see how it goes. But I think the amount of attention attended to this has been wholely unfair, and I do think there is a degree of sexism involved."
Zucker added: "Some of the coverage has just been blatantly unfair." Also: For some viewers, "it's probably a little harder to accept her in that role than what's traditionally been in that role, and that will take time. That takes time to change people's perceptions and people's attitudes."

Here's the must-see video.

Barry Ritholz has a nice takedown of Mayor Bloomberg's claim that Congress forced the banks to make lots of money by selling bad mortgages. As Barry rightly points out, this is not a story that serious people can tell. It's like denying climate change or evolution.
However, there are two items worth correcting in Ritholz's account. First, the core problem facing the economy today is not the legacy of the financial crisis, it is the bursting of the housing bubble. While it was a lot of fun watching the banks fall like dominoes in the fall of 2008, and seeing all the honchos who told us this could never happen staying up late on weekends trying to stem the crash, this is really secondary in the story of the economy's current problems.
Whatever the problems of the banking system, they are not holding down the economy. Creditworthy borrowers (by pre-bubble standards) can get mortgages at record low interest rates. The same is true for larger corporations who borrow directly on credit markets. Even few smaller businesses report access to credit as major problem.
Rather the economy's problem is that there is no source of demand to replace the consumption driven by housing bubble wealth that has now disappeared or the housing construction that resulted from hugely inflated bubble prices. We would be in pretty much the same situation today even if there had been no financial crisis. This can be seen by the example of other countries, most notably Spain, that had a much better regulated financial system. Like the United States, Spain had a huge housing bubble that burst, as a result it is still facing double digit unemployment even though it had no financial crisis.
The other item that needs correction is Ritholz's comment that Greenspan and the rest believe that leaving the market to run itself is the best way to manage the economy. In fact, Greenspan and other alleged free marketers have no interest whatsoever in the free market. They totally support explicit insurance, in the form of deposit insurance and implicit insurance in the form of "too big to fail" guarantees. The banks have taken advantage of the latter insurance in a big way in the last three years.
What we are really fighting over is not a free market, but rather whether the banks will have to pay for the insurance that they get from the government and also face restrictions on their actions as a result of this insurance. (The company that insures my house prohibits me from setting up a fireworks factory in the basement.)
It is understandable that banks, that want to get their government insurance for free, would like to pretend that they just want a free market, but people who don't share the banks' agenda should be not be fooled by this claim.
