The Chicago Cubs have gotten a decent effort from their starting pitchers in 2014 but their biggest weakness has been all of the walks they issue. According to ESPN.com the Cubs are tied for 8th in the league in walks surrendered with 315 on the year. The two biggest culprits being Travis Wood (52) and Edwin Jackson (49), who rank 5th and 8th in the league in free passes, per MLB.com.
The Chicago Cubs' 3.3 walks/9 innings is well above the league average of 3.0, according to baseball-reference.com, and this is such a big deal because walks always seem to score; lead-off walks in particular. Hitters who start the inning with a walk score 37.98 percent of the time, according to Fangraphs.com and can often times be the deciding factor in who wins the game. Take last night's game for example; Jake Arrieta threw a solid game but got into trouble late and finished the night with three walks in 6.2 innings. If you do the simple math, one of those runs does not score it Arrieta doesn't walk anybody, which would have kept the game tied 2-2 and given the Cubs a chance to win.
There's not much the Cubs can do this year, but as they begin to build their rotation for the future getting guys who can throw strikes is a must.

U.K. stocks advanced, rebounding from yesterday's biggest selloff in more than a week, before monetary-policy announcements from the Bank of England and the European Central Bank.
Barclays Plc (BARC) and Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc (RBS) both snapped two days of losses, climbing more than 1 percent. EasyJet Plc (EZJ) added 1.7 percent after reporting an increase in passenger numbers for June. Taylor Wimpey Plc (TW/) rose 3.2 percent after the housebuilder increased its first-half profit margin.
The FTSE 100 Index gained 51.71 points, or 0.8 percent, to 6,281.58 at 9:17 a.m. in London, after falling 1.2 percent yesterday. The FTSE All-Share Index increased 0.8 percent today, while Ireland's ISEQ Index added 0.4 percent.
We are seeing "tentative gains for European markets with investors gearing up for policy meetings by the Bank of England and the European Central Bank," said Ishaq Siddiqi, market strategist at ETX Capital in London. "With no U.S. data scheduled today, attention is squarely on the policy meetings."
Policy makers at the Bank of England are expected keep the central bank's bond-purchase target at 375 billion pounds ($572 billion) and its key rate at 0.5 percent, according surveys of economists. BOE will announce its decision at noon in London.
The ECB will also leave its benchmark interest rate unchanged at a record low of 0.5 percent today, according to 61 of 62 forecasts in a Bloomberg survey of economists. The central bank will announce the decision at 1:45 p.m. in Frankfurt and President Mario Draghi will address the press 45 minutes later.
Stocks tumbled around the world yesterday as the Portuguese government lost the leader of its junior coalition partner, pushing the nation's bond yields to their highest level this year.

After a pretty tantalizing teaser, Square Enix was all set to announce the anticipated follow-up to the successful Deus Ex Human Revolution -- and much to the ire of fans, it ended up being a mobile exclusive.
It's not all bad news though, as Deus Ex: The Fall actually works pretty well considering the platform, and offers up a lighter, more portable version of Human Revolution. That said, it would have been a much better experience on a dedicated portable -- or at the very least, anything offering tactile controls.view full story + comments
May was largely a quiet month for new game releases. Despite what felt like a slower schedule, especially coming off of a rather absurd April, here on Destructoid we did have a pair of 10s with the portable Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D and captivating, clay-fueled puzzler The Swapper. Quantity isn't everything!
One thing is for sure, May presented us with an eclectic group of titles. Take a look at some of the genres represented in this breakdown of everything we covered.view full story + comments
Watch Dogs has been on everyone's radar ever since its surprise debut at E3 last year. It's an open world game, but what makes this one so unique is that you play as Aiden Pearce, an expert hacker who can control the connected city of Chicago right in the palm of his hands.
Anything that's electronic or connected online can be controlled with ease, and with this power Aiden will use whatever means necessary to get revenge on those that have wronged him. At the same time, Aiden becomes sort of a vigilante for the city of Chicago, and your actions will have an impact upon the game's world.
Those of you worried about story spoilers need not fear, as Ubisoft ran us through a live demo that merely consisted of exploring the open world environment to show us just how much future Chicago can offer players.view full story + comments
This review recap is brought to you by Daft Punk's Alive 2007, which fueled the incessant copying and pasting efforts needed to put one of these together. I don't feel like I've blinked since I started working on this, but it's worth it!
April was notable in that most of what we covered was smaller-scale and released through digital channels rather than at retail. We had Dead Island Riptide, sure, but there was also the likes of Don't Starve and Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. Speaking of which, did you notice that video reviews are back? There's going to be plenty more of those on the way.
Which games released in April, if any, decimated your free time?view full story + comments
Not content with taking the Doodle Jump formula and simply placing Sonic in it with Sonic Jump, Sega has tapped a new mobile avenue, the 3D endless runner. Surprisingly, this sub-genre is the one that actually suits Sonic the most -- perhaps more than any IP ever could.
But as you can imagine, with the problematic and pushy nature of in-app-purchasing, Sega's handling of the franchise in general, and some developer's inability to translate quality into the mobile arena, a whole heap of things could go wrong.
Thankfully, they mostly don't. Mostly.view full story + comments
What a month! Now that March is well behind us (and we remembered to take a look back to ponder), I feel confident in saying that between BioShock Infinite and Tomb Raider, and yet another Gears of War, we are well into this year of big-budget gaming.
Take a look at everything we reviewed in March -- there's a lot! What was your jam? What did you miss out on? I still need to grab copies of HarmoKnight and Luigi's Mansion for my 3DS. The poor guy has gotten dusty and now only I'm to blame for it.view full story + comments
A lot of great game developers are fascinated with fishing. Pokémon, Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess, and Animal Crossing all feature the option to fish. Earthbound/Mother creator Shigesato Itoi created a series of fishing games. Former Sup Holmes guest Sophie Houlden wants to make a game where every system is based on fishing.
What is it that makes fishing such a compelling mechanic to developers? Ridiculous Fishing helps to answer that question. It's takes all of the moment-to-moment experiences associated with fishing (calm, anticipation, surprise, disappointment, pride, shame, epiphany) and turns them all up to appropriately ridiculous levels of intensity. That's why it's the best fishing game.view full story + comments
When the makers of Alien vs. Predator: Evolution saw the negative press and subsequent fallout regarding Aliens: Colonial Marines, they must have laughed. I imagine them bellowing obnoxiously, roaring their gleeful approval that no matter what their game will be like, there's no way it could be considered anywhere near as bad.
Sadly, these hypothetical developers are wholly mistaken. Evolution is ironically titled, as backward and inefficient as it is. It manages to do the seemingly impossible and rival Colonial Marines in its awfulness. Just when Aliens fans thought things could only get better, along comes Angry Mob Games to demonstrate that, no, the franchise isn't done being pissed on yet.
In fact, the flood's only just begun.view full story + comments
It's been a couple years since Zen Studios first took on the Marvel license and subsequently released expertly crafted tables centered around the biggest characters and story arcs in the comic book giant's vast library. Each table outdid the last, and it seemed like there was no way they could do any better with the next tables. Then they did.
After fifteen tables and no signs of slowing down, the studio has done a brilliant job with the Marvel license, so what would the next logical step be for the masterminds at Zen? Well, Star Wars Pinball, of course.view full story + comments
All this Grand Theft Auto anniversary talk makes me feel old. It feels like just yesterday I was listening to Michael Jackson, swerving around as Tommy Vercetti, and taking in the sights of Rockstar's faux-Miami setting.
I think a lot of people missed out on Vice City because it came out so soon after Grand Theft Auto III, and that's a shame. Just like Grand Theft Auto III on mobile devices before it, this new anniversary edition honors the franchise's legacy: so long as you're willing to put up with touch controls.view full story + comments
Baldur's Gate will forever be regarded as one of the classic PC RPGs. A lot of people never experienced it back in 1998, and it's not exactly the best-looking game anymore. To complicate things, it can be a pain to get the old game to run on newer machines, even after GOG.com began selling the title.
Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition not only remedies these issues, it also adds a good amount of new content, making it way easier to recommend to someone who previously missed out.view full story + comments
Apple's supply chain has grown so big that we'll never see the 'one more thing' kind of surprise again. For example, they announced this morning that 100 million iPads have been sold to date.
You won't be surprised to hear that Apple announced the iPad Mini at their press conference today in San Jose, California. As expected, it's a shrunk down standard iPad, now sized at 7.9 inches, with the same 1024 x 768 resolution as the original iPad. The Apple A5 chip is doing the heaving lifting inside for this little guy. It weighs just .68 lbs, and is as thick as a pencil. A reduced width bezel makes it holdable with one hand.
It will be available in both white and black, with slate or sliver backs, like the new iPhone 5. It also uses the new Lightning connector, and has the same 10-hour battery life.
The iPad Mini Wifi 16GB model will be priced at $329. 32GB and 64GB are priced at $429 and $529. Pre-orders start this Friday, with the WiFi models shipping November 2.
The 4th generation (non-mini) iPad uses the Apple A6X chipset, doubling the performance for CPU tasks and graphics performance. Wifi performance is now 2 times faster, too. The Retina display returns. Price is exactly the same as always, starting at $499 for 16GB base model.view full story + comments
A developer talking passionately about its game, a journalist receiving answers to questions without fail, and nothing in between keeping either side from doing what they set out to do. This is how it should be, but it rarely ever is these days.
Games have become more than entertainment. They are now multimillion dollar investments that can sink a company with 1,000+ employees or propel a humble one to graze the Fortune 500. Marketing, press representation, media tours, exclusive deals, sponsorships, trade show booths, partners, podcasts, blogs, downloadable content schedules, and social media presence have become part of the song and dance that is bringing a game to market in 2012.
But, over there -- way over there -- is a small studio called Stoic that is making a game like it's 1999 again.view full story + comments
Super Hexagon is a game that makes your eyeballs feel like they're being forcibly twisted against your will while still in their sockets. It is a game that makes your brain feel like it's being torn up and stitched back together by a drunken doctor in a back alley. It will even, at times, make you question whether you're enjoying the experience or it's simply the pulsating visuals sending you subliminal messages that trick you into revelry.
You will feel your mind bend as you replay levels over and over, experiencing both bliss that you've increased your record by a mere second, and anger that your reaction speed failed to save you from a crushing death. Best of all, you will come away from each play session feeling sharper, and more energized than you did before loading up Super Hexagon.view full story + comments
While many "hardcore" gamers continue to look down on mobile gaming, there are a number of studios who view it as a legitimate gaming platform, capable of the kind of "AAA" experiences we're used to. Phosphor Games is one of the front-runners, with the great Dark Meadow proving that it has the right stuff and can craft a memorable experience out of humble tools.
Phosphor's next iOS title, Horn, is coming to an iDevice near you soon. Before the launch of the studio's ambitious mobile project, we got to chat with director Chip Sineni about his game, the current state of mobile gaming, and whether or not those confounded touch controls really are as bad as people say.view full story + comments
Microsoft has today announced Xbox Smart Glass, a new bit of tech that will "transform the devices you already own and love." Smart Glass is, essentially, a feature that allows all your entertainment systems to communicate and and work together to enhance the way you watch films, listen to music, and play games.
Working with your Xbox 360, iOS, and Android devices, Smart Glass is designed to immerse the user in their entertainment. This can range from starting to watch a movie on a smartphone and then having the 360 resume it at home, to more interesting gimmicks such as watching Game of Thrones on the 360 while having your tablet sync up and portray a map of the series' world, giving you detailed information on the show you're watching as it happens.
In games, you could spot an interesting object while having a round of Halo, and information about that object can beam straight to your handheld device. It was also revealed that you can use a portable gadget to select plays in Madden. Naturally, this can open up some interesting new ways to enjoy a game.
Smart Glass sounds pretty interesting, and has certainly livened up an otherwise dreary conference. Very interested to see how it turns out.view full story + comments

Im just finishing up watching an episode of "Doomsday Preppers". I am a combination of outraged, mad, speechless, and stunned.
Many of us have at least some interest in "prepping". Even if its just buying extra ammo, or whatnot. The Doomsday Prepper show features Preppers every episode. So far, so good.
Tonight, however, they featured this group of losers who also had a prepper plan. Their "plan" was to steal everyone elses stuff. They even called themselves "The Marauders".
The opening segment showed (in a staged scene), them smashing in doors, holding people at gun point in their own bedrooms, and gagging one of the people in bed. Also of course, their "leader", made up some home made body armor, and had his idiot helper shoot him at point blank range with a 12 ga to test it out!
All I could think, was that these were the people of everyones worst case scenarios. They were the ones we armed ourselves against.
Now, the good news is that these guys are almost certainly idiots. Idiots can still be dangerous, but no kidding, these were some room temp IQ types.
But what on earth was that show thinking putting them on TV?

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I uploaded my design and they helped fit it within the paper without making it feel cramped. The quality was very good. The bride that I designed it for loved them and was very satisfied. Shipping was very quick."
"I was having the hardest time finding an invitation for my wedding, but once I saw this option, I was sold! I highly recommend it!"
"Product was great and they arrived early! Style is perfect for modern event or if you want something simple yet classy. They had someone reword my notes that I put on the back of the card, i. e. registry information and who to send the RSVPs. Price is great too!"
"We ordered the sample first to help choose the type of paper, font and envelope. I highly recommend that you do so as it makes a big difference to be able to assess the texture & quality. Considering our cards were written in both English & French, we got help and advice from the designers to make sure the quality of the final product was not compromised by our personalisation. Great customer experience and quick turnaround."
"Quality was wonderful, we chose the metallic paper, so our invites had a bit of shimmer to them. We used a full photo on the back with another engagement photo, and had so many compliments of the design and quality! Shipping was right on time, and without a hitch! I have recommended WPD to so many of our friends and family, and will continue to use the affiliates for all of our stationary needs in the future!"

The National Science Foundation will provide $12.3 million to 35 research institutions across the United States to allow them to connect to the Backbone Network Service (vBNS), dubbed the "next-generation Internet." These grants will bring to 64 the total number of institutions connected to vBNS.
The Clinton Administration's Next Generation Internet (NGI) is a three-year, $300 million project that aims to: connect more than 100 research institutions to a high-speed network; invest in the research and development of advanced networking technologies; and demonstrate new applications in areas such as distance education, telemedicine and "collaboratories," laboratories without walls.
"Previous government investments in research networks, such as the ARPANET and the NSFNET, have produced huge payoffs for our economy and our society," said Vice President Al Gore. "The Next Generation Internet Initiative is a critical investment in our future, and will serve as a catalyst for the new networks and networked applications of the 21st century."
The NGI initiative is a partnership among private companies, academic institutions and various government agencies (the NSF, Department of Defense, Department of Energy, NASA, National Library of Medicine and National Institute of Standards and Technology).

Not Breastfeeding? Why Not?
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 03-08-2010 - 1:23pm
I'm not judging because I am not BF my son. I just wanted to hear from other mom's as to why not. Was this a hard desicion for you? Do you still second guess yourself or beat yourself up over it? Need to let it out?
I personally attempted to breastfeed but my milk supply never increased enough to feed Simon completly. He lost a lot of weight by day 3 because I had nothing for almost a week.
|Mon, 03-08-2010 - 1:41pm
I understand how you feel! I had a breast reduction exactly one year ago. Our youngest was almost 11 at the time and we never dreamed we would be able to get pregnant again. Then, surprise, 2 months later I was pregnant. I had breastfed all 3 of my other children and loved it. I am able to breastfeed my little one but he only gets probably anywhere from an half an ounce to maybe 2 ounces. I tried so hard to only breastfeed him without supplementing but he lost 2 lbs. within his first week so I finally broke down and began to supplement. I have to be honest, I hate the fact that I am unable to breastfeed my little guy because of a decision I made but there is nothing I can do about it. Right now he is really sick and all he wants to do is nurse and wants nothing to do with a bottle but I know he needs that bottle or he will get dehydrated. It sucks. As moms though, we have to do what's best for our babies and if that means they get both breast and bottle or only bottle as long as they are being fed and not starving, that is all that matters.
You should not feel guilty. You didn't do anything wrong and you tried. Some things are just not meant to be and the important thing is your little one is thriving.

This is my third, and my third attempt. I just don't have the mammary tissue to produce enough milk to supply my babies. This time I tried, I mean I really, really tried. At one point I was taking close to 30 supplements a day to try to boost my supply. I would nurse and then pump and then supplement. I am still pumping but do plan to stop doing that soon.
My other two have done just fine and he is a very happy baby. I do wish that I would have gotten to actually be successful at this once, but this time the let down isn't nearly as bad as with my first then I felt like a complete failure.

I've seen a lot of posts about babies being tongue-tied but I wanted to let you all know that you can have their frenulum cut at or shortly after birth and it's no big deal. All 4 of my children were tongue-tied and my oldest DD had to have hers clipped when she was 4 due to speech issues. My last 3 children were all done either in the hospital before they even left or in the ped's office at a couple of days old. They just basically took a little surgical scissor and cut the frenulum. They cried for literally one second and then I put them on my breast and they stopped. Basically I think they cry, not from pain but because someone is messing with them. It is so much easier to have it done at birth than to wait until they are older and may develop speech issues. Also, when they are older, they have to be put under anesthesia to have it done. Just thought I would throw this out for all the moms who may have more children with this issue.

- 22Mar 30, '12 by jmqphdI believe a nursing diagnosis should drive the nursing process. You collect data (assessment), then define the patient's likely problem(s) (diagnosis), determine where the patient needs to be (goals) then design care to get them there (actions). Followed of course by evaluation and re-designing care based upon results.
How in the world can a NANDA statement drive clinical reasoning? I read student care plans daily. If I see the term "Ineffective breathing pattern" again I will absolutely poke sharp sticks in my eyes.
This "diagnosis" (ineffective breathing pattern) is equally suitable for the dying patient with Cheyne-Stokes respirations, the 18 year old trauma victim with a C3 cord transection, a 10 year old asthmatic who is ready to crash and burn, or an 80 year old post belly-surgery patient who won't use the incentive spirometer and is getting atelectasis. Puh-leeeze!
Why not just state what is wrong with a patient? How about
"Hypoxemia related to intrapulmonary shunt (secondary to pneumonia) AEB %sat 89 on Room Air, respiratory rate of 28, tachycardia and fever"
or something like that? It isn't a medical diagnosis and by golly, it immediately identifies the types of goals and actions that logically follow.
I have found NANDA to be an insurmountable obstacle to teaching students clinical reasoning. They work with their patient for the day, then that night, pull out their "nursing diagnosis" text, run their finger down a list of "diagnoses" and pick something that seems to fit the majority of their assessment findings. And from there, the care plan spirals down to a bunch of superficial blather.
Said enough. I'm sure I'm going to be flamed, but I just needed to vent.
- 3Mar 31, '12 by Whispera, BSN, MSN, APRN, CNSI agree with you!
Sooooo many times NANDA diagnoses are just not helpful. String their little phrases with the RT and AEB part, all the time avoiding medical diagnosis terms and you can get a phrase that sounds like someone with hypoxemia strung it together. Students are trying to wade through it, but especially at the begging of their learning, NANDA diagnoses throw twisted thinking into their learning.
I've run across one psych nursing diagnosis that particularly makes me want to stick a needle in my eye: Ineffective denial. I've read what the NANDA book says, including examples, and it looks to me like denial is effective or it wouldn't be denial. If it's not effective, it's not denial. Let's throw THAT one out! Most students who try to use that one would get tangled up in a whole lotta bookbabble.
I could go on, but probably shouldn't....
- 0Mar 31, '12 by SHGR, BSN, RNMay I politely raise my hand in class and ask you to clarify, jmqphd? Are you proposing that SBAR should replace the NANDA diagnoses?
- 2Mar 31, '12 by jmqphdNo, Suz... not at all. I have always appreciated SBAR as a practical and necessary communication tool. It has elements of the nursing process in it, but it's more static... describing the situation in a moment of time. (I may be viewing it to narrowly, though... so correct me if I'm wrong.) I also like SBAR because it's still in the hands of the nurse, to use it well or poorly. There's not a text book with approved "situations", "backgrounds", "assessments" and "recommendations."
And there is also not an International organization of influential nurses that have conventions where they cook up new diagnoses for us plebians to use.
I know, I know... I have this burr up my backside. It just makes things so darn confusing for students.
- 7Mar 31, '12 by TrophyWifeQuote from jmqphd:uhoh21: Do you have a camera in my house???? :uhoh21:They work with their patient for the day, then that night, pull out their "nursing diagnosis" text, run their finger down a list of "diagnoses" and pick something that seems to fit the majority of their assessment findings. And from there, the care plan spirals down to a bunch of superficial blather.
- 8Mar 31, '12 by nursemarionMy denial is never effective. I share your distaste for NANDA and the current nursing care plan process. Ineffective care planning as related to lack of access to effective care planning tools.
- 0Mar 31, '12 by SHGR, BSN, RNYes, it does make things confusing for students, and it's so nice to see a prof acknowledge that. I guess I don't see SBAR as static- situation is now, background is the past pertinent stuff leading up to now, and the R is what we hope will happen in the future.
To me, it acknowledges the reality of nursing practice much better than the NANDA, without speaking a different language than our non-nursing colleagues.
- 3Mar 31, '12 by Cr8zyamyOh where were you when I was writing my care plans? I so detested NANDA. I wish there was something anything better out there. SBAR does make sense and is easily understood by support staff as well as nurses and doctors. We have a point and click care plan builder that we use and under a tab labeled psych/social is: Risk for postpartum depression. Nothing follows this statement and so many of my coworkers just click on it. Why is the patient at risk for PPD? How is a patient that has not even delivered yet at risk for it? Care plans just frustrate me to no end. I always add to that risk factor by stating R/T preterm infant in NICU, or hx of depression, hx of anxiety, r/t mulitparity and the like.
- 3Mar 31, '12 by BostonTerrierLoverRNWuh, painful flashbacks, exiting thread, good luck people!

Grow Your Brand With These Top Internet Marketing Tips
In today's world, Internet marketing is one of most effective ways to sell and market products. Even though it might seem easy, you really need to educate yourself on how Internet marketing works in order to be successful. This article is provided to give you some basic tips and advice, so when you jump into the world of Internet marketing, you'll know what to expect.
Make sure you diversify when you are planning your Internet marketing strategies. You will find that a lot of internet marketing techniques have to do with diversity, and while you don't want to spread yourself too thinly, you also want to have alternative options. Keep your current job until your business takes off.
How good is your service or product? All the internet marketing in the world will not save an inferior product. Having a product better than the competition is a key to raising sales.
Have a section of your site dedicated to customer feedback about your products. Potential customers want to see reviews, because they want to know what they are buying is high quality. It makes them more likely to buy from you since it makes them more comfortable.
Create an easy to use "Link To Us" link. That makes it easy for those who are so inclined to click and link back to your site, thus allowing their visitors to easily find you as well.
Know what audience you want to reach, and what sort of content will be most attractive to it. Now that you know who your target audience is, it will be easy to find the information that will encourage them to access your site time and again.
If you are you looking for more info on Pure Leverage bonus check out www.pureleverage.com/reserved/ It is very helpful to have a 500 error page. This page will display when your website stops working. Use this instead of a common generic error page which will only say that the connection timed out. There are superior ways you can alert your visitors that you know about the problem and are fixing it.
Creating a solid internet marketing plan will enable you to identify your most successful products. Expand on the popularity of those products by bundling them with complementary products. Centered around your big selling products, identify and advertise all complementary products. This will help some of your other products get a sales boost from your best sellers, and they will require less advertising than other products that don't have some kind of tie-in.
Personalize all your correspondence with customers. They are more likely to delete mass emails. Consider this: don't you dislike getting bulk mail from strangers? Make sure your info is personalized and targeted to keep people interested.
It is vital to have a client mailing list. Allow sign-ups on your site or require emails for purchases. You can utilize all of this later to e-mail sales information, ask for feedback or give out promotional items.
Internet marketing will bring your products to the public eye. If you want to see success with Internet marketing, you must know what you are doing. This article contains excellent pointers to help you learn the ins and outs of Internet marketing. Following these steps will lead you to success.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Not much ink has been spilled locally about Okun, but we'll bring you up to speed. At some point, Okun, now in his late 50s, met Simone Bolani, a 29-year-old Miami Beach beauty salon owner. Together they lived a lavish lifestyle that included four mansions, a helicopter, three airplanes, 20 automobiles, and a megayacht. When it came time for Okun to divorce Bolani, he needed about $6 million to send her on her way.
Problem is he didn't have the money; he actually didn't have much of his own money at all and had been scamming investors through his Richmond, Virginia-based company to fuel his lifestyle. He tricked hundreds out of a total of $126 million.
He was convicted on 23 counts in a Virginia court this past March, and when he faces his sentencing in August, he could wind up with 400 years in jail.

Child poverty refers to the phenomenon of children living in poverty. This applies to children that come from poor families or orphans being raised with limited, or in some cases absent, state resources. Children that fail to meet the minimum acceptable standard of life for the nation where that child lives are said to be poor. In developing countries these standards are lower and when combined with the increased number of orphans the effects are more extreme.
The legal definition of children in most countries is 'persons under the age of eighteen',[1] while biologically the transition from childhood to adulthood is said to occur with the onset of puberty. Culturally defining the end of childhood is more complex, and takes into account factors such as the commencement of work, end of schooling and marriage as well as class, gender and race.[2] According to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) "children living in poverty are those who experience deprivation of the material, spiritual and emotional resources needed to survive, develop and thrive, leaving them unable to enjoy their rights, achieve their full potential or participate as full and equal members of society".[3] The ChildFund International (CFI) definition is based on Deprivation (lack of materialistic conditions and services), Exclusion (denial of rights and safety) and Vulnerability (when society can not deal with threats to children).[4] Other charitable organisations also use this multi-dimensional approach to child poverty, defining it as a combination of economic, social, cultural, physical, environmental and emotional factors.[5] These definitions suggest child poverty is multidimensional, relative to their current and changing living conditions and complex interactions of the body, mind and emotions are involved.[6]
The easiest way to quantify child poverty is by setting an absolute or relative monetary threshold.[7] If a family does not earn above that threshold, the children of that family will be considered to live below the poverty line. Absolute poverty thresholds are fixed and generally only updated for price changes, whereas relative poverty thresholds are developed with reference to the actual income of the population and reflect changes in consumption.[8] The absolute poverty threshold is the money needed to purchase a defined quantity of goods and services.[6] While there is no exact standard used to set the threshold, and it varies from country to country, it generally reflects the minimum income needed to acquire the necessities of life. Certain organisations, such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, use the absolute poverty threshold of US$1 a day to measure poverty in developing countries.[9][10] Since the 1960s, the US has used an absolute poverty threshold adjusted for family size and composition to determine those living in poverty.[8]
Europe and many other developed countries use a relative poverty threshold, typically 50% of the countries' average income.[11] Relative poverty does not necessarily mean the child is lacking anything, but is more a reflection of inequality in society. Child poverty, when measured using relative thresholds, will only improve if low-income families benefit more from economic advances than well-off families.[11] Measures of child poverty using income thresholds will vary depending on whether relative or absolute poverty is measured and what threshold limits are applied. Using a relative measure, poverty is much higher in the US than in Europe, but if an absolute measure is used, then poverty in some European countries is higher.[12] It is argued that using income as the only threshold ignores the multidimensional aspect of child poverty, which includes consumption requirements, access to resources and the ability to interact in society safely and without discrimination.[6]
A 2003 study conducted by researchers out of Bristol attempted to provide a scientific basis for measuring severe deprivation based on levels of adequate nutrition, safe drinking water, decent sanitation facilities, health, shelter, education, and information.[13] Measurable values were attributed to each indicator and these were used to establish how many children were living in poverty. The values included: heights and weights more than 3 deviations below the international median, children with access only to rivers and other surface water, no access to toilets, no immunisations, no access to medical advice, living in dwellings with more than five people per room, no school attendance and no access to newspapers or other media. Out of a population of 1.8 billion children from developing nations, 56% were below at least one of these measurements. In Sub-Saharan Africa and Southern Asia, this number increased to over 80%, with the rural children from these areas the worst affected.
The Young Lives Project is investigating the changing nature of child poverty by following nearly 12 000 children for 15 years in four countries (Ethiopia, Peru, Vietnam and India), chosen to reflect a wide range of cultural, political, geographical and social contexts.[14] Every three to four years, researchers will collect data on the children and their families health, malnutrition, literacy, access to services and other indicators of poverty. Reports are available for these four countries that comparing the initial data obtained in 2002 with data from 2006.[15] Peru, Vietnam and India have shown economic growth and a reduction in poverty over this time, but large inequalities still exist between rural and urban areas, and among ethnic groups.[16][17] This is particularly obvious in India, a country with the second largest population of billionaires but also home to 25% of the worlds poor.[18] Ethiopia, one of the poorest countries in the world, has also shown slight economic growth and reduction in poverty. Inequalities still exist, with boys more likely to be malnourished than girls and more absolute poverty in rural areas, although relative poverty is higher in urban areas.[19] This data was collected before the 2008 drought and the recent increase in food prices, which have had a severe impact on the ability of Ethiopia to feed its population
Recently,[when?] debate among philosophers and theorists on how to define and measure poverty stems from the emergence of the human capability approach, where poverty is defined by Hi Kos extent of freedoms that a person possesses. Amartya Sen, the creator of the capability approach, argues that there are five fundamental freedoms that should be available to all humans: political freedoms, economic facilities, social opportunities, transparency guarantees, and protective security[20]. He also suggests that they are all interconnected, where each freedom fosters and/or enhances the others[20].
Additionally, the capability approach claims that development should be considered a process of expanding freedoms or removing the major sources of unfreedom rather than a focus on narrower measurements such as growth of gross national product, per capita income, or industrialization.[20] According to kos basic needs approach (which in most aspects is quite like the capability approach), the objective of development should be to provide all humans with the opportunity to a full life, which goes beyond abstractions such as money, income, or employment.[21] Therefore, the definition and measurement of poverty in general must extend beyond measurements like per capita GDP, which tools such as the Human Development Index attempt to accomplish.
In light of this, a UK initiative, Save the Children, has also developed a measurement of child poverty based on measures of capability, called the Child Development Index (CDI)[22]. CDI is an index that combines performance measures specific to children – primary education, child health, and child nutrition – to produce a score on a scale of 0 to 100, with zero being the best with higher scores indicating worse performances[22]. According to Save the Children, each of the indicators was chosen because it was easily accessible, universally understood, and clearly indicative of child wellbeing.[22] Health measures under-five mortality rate; nutrition measures the percentage of children under five who are moderately or severely underweight (which is two standard deviations below the median weight for age of the reference population); and education measures the percentage of primary school-age children that are not enrolled in school[22]. In terms of opportunities and capabilities, CDI is the most appropriate measurement of child poverty[22].
Of the estimated 2.2 billion children worldwide, about a billion, or every second child, live in poverty[23]. Of the 1.9 billion children in developing nations, 640 million are without adequate shelter; 400 million are without access to safe water; 270 million have no access to health services[24]. In 2003, 10.6 million children died before reaching the age of five, which is equivalent to the total child population of France, Germany, Greece, and Italy[25]. 1.4 million die each year from lack of access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation while 2.2 million die each year due to lack of immunizations[26].
The Child Development Index also illustrates relative child poverty compared across all regions of the world (see Measuring child poverty)[22].
The CDI in Africa is twice that of the world average, and South Asia also fares poorly in relation to the global performance[22]. In contrast, the CDI in developed countries is one-ninth of the world CDI, indicating a clear distinction between developing and developed nations[22].
With a lot of children in lose they can despair and just die by accident. The majority of poverty-stricken children are born to poor parents. Therefore the causes such as adult poverty, government policies, lack of education, unemployment, social services, disabilities and discrimination significantly affect the presence of child poverty. Lack of parental economic resources such as disposable income restricts children's opportunities[27]. Economic and demographic factors such as deindustrialization, globalization, residential segregation, labor market segmentation, and migration of middle-class residents from inner cities, constrain economic opportunities and choices across generation, isolating inner-city poor children[27].
The loss of "family values", or decline of the nuclear family, illegitimacy, teen pregnancy, and increased numbers of single mothers, is also cited as a major cause of poverty and welfare dependency for women and their children[27]. Kids resulting from unintended pregnancies are more likely to live in poverty[28]; raising a child requires significant resources, so each additional child increases demands on parental resources. Families raised by a single parent are generally poorer than those raised by couples[29]. In the United States, 6 of 10 long term poor children have spent time in single parent families[27] and in 2007, children living in households headed by single mothers were five times as likely as children living in households headed by married parents to be living in poverty[30].
Many of the apparent negative associations between growing up poor and children's attainments reflect unmeasured parental advantages that positively affect both parents' incomes and children's attainments, like parental depression[27].
Developed countries also have a serious problem with child poverty. If all the 13.5 million poor children in America were gathered in one place, they would form a city bigger than New York.[31] Many published studies have demonstrated strong associations between childhood poverty and the child's adult outcomes in education, health and socialization, fertility, labor market, and income. Strong evidence suggests that children of low income parents have an increased risk of intellectual and behavioral development problems[32]. Large negative associations between poverty during early childhood and academic outcomes have been consistently found in many studies[27]. Furthermore, children in poverty have a greater risk of displaying behavior and emotional problems, such as disobedience, impulsiveness, and difficulty getting along with peers, and family poverty is associated with higher risk for teen childbearing, less positive peer relations, and lower self-esteem[33].
In terms of economic disadvantages, adults who experienced persistent childhood poverty are more likely to fall below the poverty line at least once later in life[33]. Poor boys work fewer hours per year, earn lower hourly wages, receive lower annual earnings, and spend more week idle in their mid-twenties[27]. Paternal income is also strongly associated with adult economic status[27].
Also, childhood poverty in the first three years of life is related to substandard nutritional status and poor motor skills; in contrast, poverty is also associated with child obesity – as they get older, poor children are more likely to have chronic health problems, such as asthma and anemia[33]. These impacts probably reflect issues related to poverty including a substandard diet, inferior housing conditions, poor neighborhood environment, reduced access to goods and activities and the psychological stress stemming from these factors[34].
Using a relative measure of child poverty, an impoverished child growing up in a developing country suffers more hardship than most children living in poverty in a developed country. Poverty in these countries is a condition usually characterised by a severe deprivation of basic human needs (UN,1995). It is estimated that one third of all children in developing countries (~674 million) are living in poverty, the highest rates being in the rural areas of Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia (over 70%)[13]. War, disease, corruption, lack of resources and harsh environmental conditions afflict many of these countries, contributing to their poverty. These factors are a major cause of death, which in turn leads to a higher number of single parents and orphaned children. All UN member states have ratified the 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child, with the exception of the United States and Somalia, which aims at reducing violations to a number of rights relevant to reducing child poverty in different countries)[6]. A review published by UNICEF in 2009, found declines in under five mortality, less child malnourishment, increases in breastfeeding, improved water systems and better education access[3]. It also states that despite these improvements 24 000 children still die each day from mostly preventable diseases, 150 million 5-14 year olds are involved in child labour and 100 million primary aged children go without schooling. There are still great inequalities within populations, with girls and children from rural areas more likely to suffer poor health, education and survival than boys and urban populations. Notable state attempts to tackle child poverty in the developing world, include Brazil's Bolsa Familia initiative (reaches 12 million households) and South Africa's Child Grant (7 million households[35]. Elsewhere, child specific social protection policies and programmes are few and the institutions to implement them are often lacking[35].
The cycle of poverty is when a family remains in poverty over many successive generations. For this reason reducing child poverty has been a focus of almost all governments as a way to break this cycle. Improving the quality of education provided to the poor is seen by most as the best way to break this cycle[36]. Improving the environment the child grows up in, ensuring access to health, providing financial incentives (either through benefit schemes or reducing taxes) and promoting family values have all been suggested as ways to break the cycle[citation needed].
Boys and girls have equal rates of poverty through their childhoods but as women enter their teens and childbearing years the rates of poverty between the genders widens. Globally, women are far more impoverished than men and poor children are more likely to live in female-headed households. Attempts to combat the cycle of poverty, therefore, have often targeted mothers as a way to interrupt the negative patterns of poverty that affect the education, nutrition/health, and psychological/social outcomes for poor children.[37]
According to the Overseas Development Institute*, greater visibility for children's rights issues is needed in donor policies and attempts should be made to emulate the success achieved using gender markers to develop gender-sensitive development policy[30]. They believe major influential players in the children's rights community - the UNICEF, UNFPA and NGOs, such as Save the Children, Plan and World Vision - should do more to highlight the impact of mainstream macro-policies issues on children[30]. The Overseas Development Institute further suggests that an international commission be established to address the impact of the 3-F crisis (food, financial and fuel) on children as a platform for dialogue and new initiatives[30].
However, determining the appropriate policies for dealing with long-term childhood poverty and intergenerational economic inequality is hotly debated, as are most proposed policy solutions, and depends on the effects that most impact the region. In order to combat the lack of resources available in developed nations, policies must be developed that deliver resources to poor families and raise skill levels of poor children by building on successful welfare-to-work initiatives and maintaining financial work supports, such as Earned Income Tax Credit, refundable child care tax credits and housing vouchers[27][33]. To effectively address economic, demographic and cultural changes, economic and social service strategies to reverse the factors that generated the urban underclass, such as providing jobs and social services policies that deal with the effects of isolation, should be implemented[27][33]. Finally, in order to reduce the loss of "family values", policies should be aimed at expanding economic opportunities especially for disadvantaged girls[27].

Long lasting look...
By: Randy
I will admit, I thought these pants were kind pf still at first. But they soften up with time. You will be very impressed with the way they wash up. They look pressed out of the dryer. Yet they are very practical workwear. They are holding up way beyond expectation. I would tell others Carhartt pants are a great choice.
