With an introduction by Dana Crawford. Celebrate the finale of VOICES with the Denver premiere of the new cinematic adaptation of Jane Eyre starring Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland) and Michael Fassbender (Inglourious Basterds), from acclaimed director Cary Joji Fukunaga (Sin Nombre). In the story, Jane Eyre flees Thornfield Hall, where she works as a governess for wealthy Edward Rochester. As she reflects upon the people and emotions that have defined her, it is clear that the isolated and imposing residence – and Mr. Rochester's coldness – have sorely tested the young woman's resilience, forged years earlier when she was orphaned. She must now act decisively to secure her own future and come to terms with the past that haunts her – and the terrible secret th at Mr. Rochester is hiding and that she has uncovered...

Chateau Cantemerle Les Allees De Cantemerle 2008
Chateau Cantemerle
- Bordeaux
- France
- Haut Medoc
2008 saw very high yields across wineries in much of the southern hemisphere, as a result of highly favorable climatic conditions. Although in many areas, these high yields brought with them something of a drop in overall quality, this could not be said for South Australia's wines, which were reportedly excellent. Indeed, the 2008 Shiraz harvest in South Australia is said to be one of the most successful in recent decades, and western Australia's Chardonnays are set to be ones to watch out for. New Zealand's Pinot Noir harvest was also very good, with wineries in Martinborough reportedly very excited about this particular grape and the characteristics it revealed this year. Pinot Noir also grew very well in the United States, and was probably the most successful grape varietal to come out of California in 2008, with Sonoma Coast and Anderson Valley delivering fantastic results from this grape. Elsewhere in United States, Washington State and Oregon had highly successful harvests in 2008 despite some early worries about frost. However, it was France who had the best of the weather and growing conditions in 2008, and this year was one of the great vintages for Champagne, the Médoc in Bordeaux, Languedoc-Roussillon and Provence, with Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay grapes leading the way. Italy, too, shared many of these ideal conditions, with the wineries in Tuscany claiming that their Chianti Classicos of 2008 will be ones to collect, and Piedmont's Barberesco and Barolo wines will be recognized as amongst the finest of the past decade.
Bordeaux red wines are widely regarded as being the finest red wines produced anywhere in the world, regularly topping awards lists and generally being amongst the most sought after and collectable bottles available. The secret to their success and their particularly memorable and refined characteristics is the fact that Bordeaux red wines are made from a blend of grape varietals, most commonly from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes, helped by a touch of Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc. The other two key Bordeaux grape varietals which are also used in the blend of many of these excellent wines are Malbec and Carménere, although it is becoming less common to see these in use today. The art of blending primarily Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grape varietals is something which has been much imitated around the world, as it produces a wonderfully balanced, rounded yet massively complex and flavorful wine, ideal for oak aging The acid and tannin levels in each of these grape varietals is balanced and tempered by the blend, and generations of expertise has gone into the careful selection and cultivation of such quality grapes.
The wineries of Bordeaux in France are widely considered to be amongst the finest on earth, with many of the chateaux found on the Left Bank and in the Médoc region routinely demanding enormous prices and being snapped up by collectors looking to add the best examples of the world's white and red wines to their cellars. Bordeaux's secret to success comes from the fact that the terroir of the region is exceptionally rich in minerals, helped by the clay and gravel soils which typify the area and the Gironde river which runs through it. Normally humid in climate, the nearby Atlantic coast supplies cooling breezes, making Bordeaux a winemaker's dream and resulting in extremely high quality grape varietals. For hundreds of years, the wineries of Bordeaux have been mastering the art of wine blending, and today produce a wide range of wine styles using many of the sixteen grape varietals permitted to grow in the region by French law.
It is widely understood and accepted that the finest wines in the world come out of France. Whether you are drinking a vintage bottle from one of the famed Grand Cru wineries of Bordeaux - such as Chateau Margaux or Chateau Lafite-Rothschild - or a more simple and affordable bottle from one of the lesser known appellations in Burgundy, the likelihood is that the wine is packed full of intense and interesting flavors, and has a fine, balanced structure typical of almost all French produce. This reputation for excellence is taken extremely serious by the French, with dozens of regularly updated laws and regulations ensuring the quality and accurate labeling of wines. Such dedication and passion for fine wine, representative of the region in which it is produced, means customers can be assured that when they buy a bottle from France, they are buying something almost certain to please and delight.

Duo back for reserves
Ross McCormack and Warren Feeney gained more valuable match fitness on an evening which was otherwise full of disappointment for Cardiff's reserve team as they went down 3-0 at Fulham. To make matters worse for the Bluebirds it was former on-loan striker Eddie Johnson who did most of the damage, grabbing a brace in the clash at the Premier League club's training ground. McCormack and Feeney have recently returned from lengthy absences due to respective hamstring and hip injuries and they will have done their chances of first-team involvement no harm at all by getting 90 minutes under their belts. The duo were part of a strong Cardiff line-up which included Peter Enckelman, Paul Quinn, Riccy Scimeca and Gavin Rae among others. Meanwhile, the club's entire 1,800 ticket allocation for next month's South Wales derby against Swansea at the Liberty Stadium sold out in less than a day.

A yeast two-hybrid screen was employed to identify human proteins that specifically bind the amino-terminal 400 amino acids of the retinoblastoma (Rb) protein. Two independent cDNAs resulting from this screen were found to encode the carboxy-terminal 137 amino acids of MCM7, a member of a family of proteins that comprise replication licensing factor. Full-length Rb and MCM7 form protein complexes in vitro, and the amino termini of two Rb-related proteins, p107 and p130, also bind MCM7. Protein complexes between Rb and MCM7 were also detected in anti-Rb immunoprecipitates prepared from human cells. The amino-termini of Rb and p130 strongly inhibited DNA replication in an MCM7-dependent fashion in a Xenopus in vitro DNA replication assay system. These data provide the first evidence that Rb and Rb-related proteins can directly regulate DNA replication and that components of licensing factor are targets of the products of tumor suppressor genes.

Some thing that i believe and thought worth sharing.
Culture as I believe is a unified expression of various Practices and Art forms that human race has developed collectively and individually over a course of time. And various parameters viz The geographic location, climate he is facing, beliefs and his learning many a time dictate the nature of the culture.
This logo here tries to abstractly express the diversity in human culture with the artistic curves representing human at different sizes (depicting diversity), the other lines are added to complete the composition and to give it an artistic festive outlook. And this simplified expression can become more vibrant with the change in the color of the line, so that one can look at color as a metaphor to the culture. With this the different colors in the same composition can depict the cultural diversity.
To summarize this, logo here as I believe reflects the very nature of an event, as it can be read as an Abstract Art, a Musical note, a Dancing human. Because any culture in this world becomes incomplete without these basic expressions.
As far as the usage of the logo is concerned it can be composed of either several colors or a single color representing particular culture. It can also be simplified to a black and white so that its usage for the letterheads and other print media is justified. The posters and flags can be developed with the different colors, so that they speak out cultural diversity loudly.

The Nature Conservancy and the Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum will present "Design for a Living World," a travelling exhibition featuring objects created by leading designers and made from sustainable, natural materials. The exhibition will premiere at Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum on May 14 and continue through Jan. 4, 2010.
The designers are Yves Behar, Stephen Burks, Hella Jongerius, Maya Lin, Christien Meindertsma, Isaac Mizrahi, Abbott Miller, Ted Muehling, Kate Spade and Ezri Tarazi.
The Nature Conservancy collaborated with prominent designers from the worlds of fashion, industrial and furniture design, and each designer focused on a natural material from a specific place where the Conservancy works. The locations ranged from iconic American landscapes, such as the sweeping grasslands of Idaho, to such exotic places as the southwest coast of Australia and the forests of China's Yunnan Province. The designs explore the transformation of organic items-wood, plants, wool- into beautiful and useful objects. By choosing sustainable materials that support, rather than deplete, endangered places, designers can help reshape our materials economy and advance a global conservation ethic. Through this process, the exhibition reveals fascinating stories about regeneration, natural places and the human connection to the Earth's lands and waters.

Spatial mapping is about interpreting data, spatially - not just documenting what we already know but to infer useful information and deduce insights. Disappointing 'much ado about nothing' is how I would describe this euphorically broadcast event by NY Times in today's issue. The project seems to be less about mapping the buzz but rather creating a buzz around mapping nothing.... unfortunately. Instead of mapping the ecology of real culture in terms of production and consumption and show how it may define, show or map culture and cultural space in the cities - the project draws swift and limited conclusions based on a very limited premise of how media views and covers the so-called high-end "cultural events". It also fails to take into account the advent of the internet and how the social ecologies of space have been transforming and generating other forms of cultural topographies hitherto unknown. Sometime this week, Facebook expects to register its 200 millionth user (Facebook amasses 200 million strong population worldwide - that would make it the 5th largest country in the world!).
Under the context of globalization and global connectivity, the question about 'culture' hangs in balance, simultaneously challenging the primary role of history, theory and philosophy. Driven by the proliferation of information and communication technologies, our spatial and visual culture is also changing. In my view, this visualization/mapping project fails to examine and explore...

Last friday, the first day of spring, we are proud to launch LANDFILL--an annual publication made in collaboration with our friend, the environmental printer, Greg Barber Co. Each issue explores a conceptual approach to its printed components. Second Chance's theme, 100% post-consumer papers and non-toxic toners, was made in partnership with Mohawk Fine Papers.
After the interviews, our stories of second chances were printed using non-toxic toner onto paper containing flower seeds and buried throughout New York City. Brooklyn Photographer Luke Barber-Smith photographed these burials. As the sprouts reach the topsoil, the first lives push through the earth and grow into real wild flowers for the spring.

Over the last several months I have been responding to articles such as this one and comments like these with the same message, we must tone down our talk and remember that the world is watching us. If you want to be Catholic and you want others to join us we have to begin by treating each other with dignity and respect no matter what. If we disagree with each other then we must do it in a way where we are not sarcastic or cruel. Frankly, I do not believe that we will all ever agree, but I do believe that we can love each other and get along in spite of our differences. As a Catholic who was educated in Catholic schools through college, as a Catholic who sent a child through a very expensive Catholic university, so that they would have a Catholic education I expect that a Catholic school would always be an example of Catholic teaching and doctrine. Therefor, I would not expect anyone to be honored who was not in line with the Church's teachings. I think that is why Mary Ann Glendon turned down the honor Notre Dame extended to her. She wasn't rude, she just walked the talk. We all could take an example from her. If you can't make your point without sarcasm, name calling or rudeness, it probably has no value. Take the time to express yourself in a way that people will try to listen and understand.
Peace to each of you -

To the kind people who are posting. I wish to ask a question (this is NON-confrontational, and I really want to know the answer if someone can provide me with one): Aren't there specific policies and "mechanisms" in place for disciplining Fr. Jenkins, or having a superior come in to relieve him of his duties, or, even something LESS aggressive then that, someone to COUNSEL him that he made a grave error? I would imagine (and again, this is my IGNORANCE asking, not any type of bad intention) that because Fr. Jenkins (I am certain) answers to his Bishop, that the Bishop would be proactive in doing something positive about this situation. I welcome your thoughts and words.

John, there is plenty I could talk about on your post ("Bush bombing innocent children")?? Bush is said to have saved over 1 million aid's children in africa and was against abortion in all form's, all obama has done is run for president,and oppose everything catholic.wise up.

I believe that the answer is simple; if Notre Dame promotes true Catholicism then they are allowed to continue to position themselves as a Catholic University. If Notre Dame breaks with instruction from the Catholic Church then request or demand that they rebrand as non-Catholic.

"JOHN" I read with astonshiment your posting prattelling on about FATHER TED in GLORIOUS TONES..I guess you drank the FIFTH COLUMNS ATTITUDE..which is I will rag on the war issue and compare that to the abortion issue which is ludricous in that the war issue is NEVER about the purposeful MURDER of MILLIONS OF BABIES ..that # being 4000 per week as of now.....NOTHING and NO EXCUSE will EVER CHANGE THAT STAT SIR......I KNOW by your writings you are a true and devout RELATIVIST CATHOLIC,,,,,,,too bad YOU WILL NEVER CHANGE A THING iN CHURCH DOCTRINE,

Mr. McIntyre, Thanks so much for the informative letter. I learned things about Notre Dame that no news source has ever spoken of, sadly even any Catholic news outlet. I guess the REVELATION of commencement was a TRANSPARENT view for many of us. It was sickening for me to watch with revulsion as you so aptly pointed out that Fr. Jenkins was so giddy and joyful.,like a silly school girl he was ating and my God hes a PRIEST!....It made me nauseated in all sincerity. Now that I know the history my feelings as well will never be the same for NOTRE DAME.....We can thank Father Hesburgh and all that he implemented, along with the lax Holy Cross order in allowing one of their own to completly be a slap via his actions to the Bishops and their requests regarding honors to a pro abort speaker......I hope there is some way that OUR LADY and THE DOME and the NAME CATHOLIC CAN BE REMOVED as WELL NOTRE DAME..LET THEM CALL IT "RELATITIVISM SCHOOL" ....They have SMEARED and DIRTYED HER NAME and think nothing of it.....I pray that some form of justice will fall on that school and its leadership.. Thansk again for a most Eye opening letter.

John, the issue is not that the President of the United States was invited to speak. The issue is that knowing President Obama's views on abortion, Notre Dame honored him with an honorary degree in direct contempt of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops 2004 statement "Catholics in Political Life" which specifically states "The Catholic community and Catholic institutions should not honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles. They should not be given awards, honors or platforms which would suggest support for their actions."
It is not about Republican and Democrat it is about Notre Dame honoring a man that supports murdering an innocent life because he would not want to see his daughters or anyone else "punished" with the "mistake" of a baby.

Michael's Frozen Custard - Madison, WI
The comparison between Michael's, a local chain of four restaurants, and Culver's is inevitable so we'll cut right to the chase. While the name is Custard, I was here for the burger. Whereas Culver's offers numerable variation of the burger, Michael's is limited to seven.
The burger is a nice presentation for fast food, especially at $5 for the basket including a can of soda.
The bun is light fluffy and feels ready to fall apart if the guts of the burger were heavier. The sesame is a nice touch. Culver's buns are pedestrian. This is a tie.
The toppings of tomatoes, lettuce, and pickles, mustard and ketchup are well assembled and surprisingly fresh. It feels homey. Culver's toppings feels standard issue. Michael's wins the toppings department.
The patty is thin, flat, absent any grill taste, gray, non-memorable, and gets lost. Culver's offers an equally thin patty but tastes fresher, with nice charring, and a denser full flavored beef taste. The easy winner in the patty department is Culver's.
The overall burger winner is Culver's because it's all about the beef.
I had planned to buy custard but at $3.89 for a cup, the money stayed in my wallet. To use the 50's lingo in line with the decor, price point Daddy O.

Abstract: A critical first step in a "rational vaccine design" approach for hepatitis C virus (HCV) is to identify the most relevant mechanisms of immune protection. Emerging evidence provides support for a protective role of virus neutralizing antibodies, and the ability of the B cell response to modify the course of acute HCV infection. This has been made possible by the development of in vitro cell culture models, based on HCV retroviral pseudotype particles expressing E1E2 and infectious cell culture-derived HCV virions, and small animal models that are robust tools in studies of antibody-mediated virus neutralization. This review is focused on the immunogenic determinants on the E2 glycoprotein mediating virus neutralization and the pathways in which the virus is able to escape from immune containment. Encouraging findings from recent studies provide support for the existence of broadly neutralization antibodies that are not associated with virus escape. The identification of conserved epitopes mediating virus neutralization that are not associated with virus escape will facilitate the design of a vaccine immunogen capable of eliciting broadly neutralizing antibodies against this highly diverse virus.

Dictionary » A » Adverse effects Adverse effectsthis is an abnormal or harmful effect to an organism caused by exposure to a chemical. It is indicated by some result such as death, a change in food or water consumption, altered body and organ weights, altered enzyme levels, or visible illness. An effect may be classed as adverse if it causes functional or anatomical damage, causes irreversible change in the homeostasis of the organism, or increases the susceptibility of the organism to other chemical or biological stress. A non-adverse effect will usually be reversed when the organism is no longer being exposed to the chemical.

January is over! That flew by…now onto February!
The only bad news about this month is that there are only 28 days to plan! That means there is A LOT to do in a LITTLE amount of time, doesn't it Scott?
Well I did it, I finally figured out to record, compress, and upload a video all in one spot – my computer! (victory dance). I now appreciate my MacBook a lot more, and have learned to love her again…so I'm going to go ahead and pat myself on the back for that one.
As January came to a close, there was too much to write about for what we are focusing on for the month ahead – so check out the extremely long January Video Update! You know you want to…
Well wasn't that fun? Now that I know how to do this my blog will probably start filling up with a lot more videos….luck you!

In which Joe takes Bud Selig to task for failing to understand the real reasons for the All-Star Game's decline in popularity. While looking toward the future with our comprehensive slate of current content, we'd also like to recognize our rich past by drawing upon our extensive (and mostly free) online archive of work dating back to 1997. In an effort to highlight the best of what's gone before, we'll be bringing you a weekly blast from BP's past, introducing or re-introducing you to some of the most informative and entertaining authors who have passed through our virtual halls. If you have fond recollections of a BP piece that you'd like to nominate for re-exposure to a wider audience, send us your suggestion. Does Bud Selig believe that baseball isn't an inherently interesting game? So said Joe in the article below, which originally ran as a "Prospectus Today" column on July 13, 2006. June 22, 2011 9:00 am
It took several years for Frank McCourt to run the Dodgers into the ground, but Joe foresaw hard times ahead in LA back in 2005. While looking toward the future with our comprehensive slate of current content, we'd also like to recognize our rich past by drawing upon our extensive (and mostly free) online archive of work dating back to 1997. In an effort to highlight the best of what's gone before, we'll be bringing you a weekly blast from BP's past, introducing or re-introducing you to some of the most informative and entertaining authors who have passed through our virtual halls. If you have fond recollections of a BP piece that you'd like to nominate for re-exposure to a wider audience, send us your suggestion.
"...the long-term prospects for this organization are terrible, and it's McCourt's fault." Those words could have been written yesterday, but Joe wrote them right here in a "Prospectus Today" column on November 3, 2005. October 11, 2010 1:27 am
The book will be late. Back in January, when I signed a book contract with PEV to assemble a collection of my work along with original material, September 1 seemed like a long, long, long way off. The deadline made perfect sense: it would leave plenty of time for reading and evaluating the old work, divining a structure, whittling down a list and writing a bunch of original material. With submissions throughout the year, it would leave time for editing, proofing and printing -- the last a very quick process these days -- and a sales season that would coincide with the MLB playoffs, a time when everyone is focused on baseball and one that I have long considered my best time of the year as a writer. It would also get the book off my desk before I threw myself into postseason coverage. September 22, 2010 6:22 pm
The first excerpt from Joe's upcoming book. That thunder you heard in the New York area last week wasn't the weather, no matter what was reported. No, I think the sound was the earth moving as I filed the first segments of the book to Christina Kahrl. I could not be more fortunate. Christina and I have worked together for 15 years, editing each other's work -- and the work of many others -- in BP annuals and on the Web site. She knows my writing as well as any person alive, making her the perfect editor for this project. Now, I just have to keep the copy flowing. Having started filing, gotten over that hump, I'm sure the rest of the book will come quickly. In retrospect, I probably spent too much time selecting the pieces for inclusion, which put me behind on the writing, but we're here now, and the words are flowing, and there's an editor and we're vetting layouts, so it won't be long now. September 17, 2010 12:55 am
The NL Central contenders have weird splits. The thing about September that makes finishing a book hard -- one reason why my original deadline was September 1, to be honest -- is that there are so many storylines in play that you can write all week and not get to all of them. In just the last six days I've written a Sports Illustrated piece on Carlos Gonzalez, an SI.com piece about home-field advantage, a book blog entry about the Yankees/Rays series and newsletters about key games in the NL West race, the Twins' second-half surge, similarities among some AL teams, a wrap of Tuesday night's games, and, if you can believe it, Wilson Betemit. I'm working on an AL Cy Young piece for tomorrow, while also plowing through copy on Bud Selig for the book. I know this sounds funny coming from the guy who just wrote about the struggles of dealing with volume, and I won't pretend it's like this for everyone, but sometimes I can get into a rhythm and everything just comes easily. This week has been like that. It's a great feeling, especially on the heels of the recent struggles. I am well aware that one reason I write is because I want to be liked, and I need that approval, that e-mail, that comment, that Retweet. When I'm cranking out the bylines, I get that. Make no mistake about it: I'm addicted to that rush, that ego boost. September 13, 2010 5:32 pm
Sabathia! Price! Almost meaningless! I want to be excited about tonight's Yankees/Rays game. I want to be pumped about the clash of the two best teams in baseball, separated by a half-game in the standings, with two of the best pitchers in the AL squaring off in the opener. I want to be invested in the outcome, either as a Yankee fan since childhood or a professional writer for about half that time. I want to believe. I can't do it. The game just doesn't mean very much. I have no doubt that the players on both teams will go all out to win, and I am sure that Joe Maddon and Joe Girardi would rather win than lose, but I know the history. We have 16 years of evidence that suggests that teams that have locked up postseason berths treat winning the division rather than being the wild card as something nice to have, rather than something necessary. September 7, 2010 5:10 pm
Joe Sheehan is a crazy writer. I don't think I'm a natural writer. I think I probably write better than I do anything else, so it's fortunate that I have been able to make a career of it rather than resorting to editing or carpentry or male modeling, but it's not something that's just a matter of course, like it's just always been there. I went to college intending to be a stockbroker, and kind of fell into journalism when I realized I enjoyed writing more than I enjoyed math. I still do, which is why it's always been a little uncomfortable when people who don't know all the names and the history position me as a sabermetrician. I'm not; I work with them and I admire them, but I can't do what Clay Davenport or Keith Woolner did, or what Colin Wyers and Eric Seidman continue to do. I don't have the database chops, for one, and I don't have the math skills, for two. All of this is a long way of saying that I admire and envy the writers I know who are prolific. I'm convinced that Joe Posnanski is actually triplets, and he's just done a great job of hiding that fact. How else could he write as much, on as many topics, as he does? I used to think that Kevin Goldstein wrote a lot, generally five days a week on prospects and the minor leagues after joining BP. Then he ramped it up with "Minor League Update," and I'm in awe. Even beat reporters, who I've tended to criticize as a class, almost all have the ability to generate huge amounts of copy in an age when filing a couple of stories to the paper each day just isn't nearly enough. There's a particular skill, the skill of volume, that I just don't have. I can be prolific at times, such as each October, but it rarely feels like I'm tapping into some kind of natural talent. It's just that I like baseball and have a lot of strong opinions about how it should be played, managed and administrated. August 26, 2010 2:00 pm
Statheads love baseball, too. I don't remember exactly when, but at some point in the middle of the '00s, the Boston Globe's Bob Ryan penned an article in which he expressed wonderment at what it would be like to attend a ballgame with a stathead. Jonah Keri, with Baseball Prospectus at the time, subsequently invited him to attend one with him, although I don't think the date ever happened. I wish Ryan could have been at MCU Park in Coney Island last night, where a collection of statheads and fellow travelers gathered on a cloudy night to watch some pretty unimpressive baseball. I think he would have been surprised, and while I don't know whether he would have enjoyed himself, I do hope it would have changed his perceptions about how this particular type of fan enjoys the game.

Carlos Delgado has a job. Barry Bonds doesn't. In 2007, Barry Bonds hit .276/.480/.565 in 126 games, leading the NL in OBP for the sixth time in seven seasons. He hit a homer every 12.1 at-bats, was intentionally walked about once every 11 plate appearances -- in 29% of his plate appearances with runners in scoring position -- and played a below-average left field that was far from among the worst in the game. In 2007, Carlos Delgado hit .258/.333/.448. It was his worst season since establishing himself in 1996. Delgado played in 139 games, two weeks' worth more than Bonds had played, was intentionally walked eight times and led the league in nothing. August 4, 2010 5:48 pm
Joe Sheehan's first solo book is nearing publication, and he needs your help. I guess we should reset this… This blog exists to promote a still-untitled book coming out this fall, my first solo project. The book is a collection of my own Prospectus articles and columns dating to 1996, as well as original material, most notably a chapter devoted to the Mets/Cardinals 20-inning game from April of this year, a game that represented both the joys of being a baseball fan and the agonies of being a baseball analyst in the early 21st century. May 15, 2010 11:34 am
The book, finally, has a structure. It's taken a while, but I think I finally have the structure of the book laid out. I played around with writing it chronologically, which would have enhanced the biographical aspects, but instead, it will be organized by topic. The following list isn't final, but you can expect sections to include: April 27, 2010 2:35 pm
Some lessons are not so easily learned. I spent a lot of time trying to come up with a rationale for the Phillies' decision to commit $125 million to Ryan Howard's ages 32 through 36 seasons 20 months before a decision point on doing so. The ones I see fall into two categories: soft factors, such as keeping a perceived key player happy, fending off two years of stories about Howard's impending free agency and showing the fan base that the team will keep its most popular players in Philadelphia; and poor player-evaluation skills: using runs batted in as a primary measure of player value, not taking into account the career path of players with Howard's skill set and badly misreading the replaceability of players like him. No combination of these factors can justify the contract. Howard is a good, not great, player, a mix of obvious skills — his ability to hit for power and against right-handed pitching — and obvious flaws — a contact rate that limits his ability to reach base, middling defensive skills, terrible problems against left-handed pitching. The package makes him an asset as he moves through his prime, and he has been a key contributor to the Phillies' success since 2006. He has never been the best player on his team, and now, he is no better than the third-best Phillie, and could be rated lower depending on what kind of years Jimmy Rollins and Jayson Werth have. The Phillies have missed badly on Howard, committing maybe 20% of their payroll down the line to a player who will be contributing, at best, 70% of the time at the plate and not at all in the field.

Interrelated functions of the three orientations to happiness were examined by a cross-sectional survey, in the context of a ski resort experience. Accordingly, a conceptual framework of pleasure, flow, and involvement influencing satisfaction was established. Utilizing structural equation modeling, the conceptual framework was tested by analyzing data collected from 279 participants who enjoyed skiing and/or snowboarding. Results from bootstrap test indicated that direct and total effects from flow had the highest predictive power on satisfaction. In contrast, pleasure showed higher explanatory power on subjective experiences of flow and meaning, and influenced satisfaction only by indirect effects through those elements. Together, these findings support the research model synthesizing the behavioral constructs of sport participation with subjective well-being perspectives. Moreover, the expanded model in a sporting context further evidences the functional roles of the orientations to happiness by results consistent with extant literature of positive psychology. Roles of embodiments of orientations to happiness in an action-based exercise and its implications are further discussed.

iOS apps of the day [August 14, 2012]

iOS has over 600,000 apps. With so many apps out there, app discovery (aka finding new and useful apps) is extremely difficult. With our iOS Apps of the Day [6] initiative, dotTech aims to change that. Everyday we post three apps, allowing our readers to discover new apps, daily. Enjoy! [Subscribe to dotTech to never miss an article: RSS Feed [4] | E-mail [5]]
Developers: Click here [7] to get your apps featured here!
dotTechies: Want to see an app on here? Send us a tip [8]!
[9]eWeather HD is a visually stunning, full-featured weather application. In a genre that boasts so many offerings on the App Store, it is tough to find a weather app that stands out, but that is exactly what eWeather HD accomplishes. This app will give you instant access to current conditions plus detailed 10-day and 24-hour forecasts for 130,000+ locations worldwide. eWeather HD provides animated rain/snow radar maps anywhere in the United States, with several variations for the user to change. The app allows the user to track temperature/weather changes, as well as weather advisories/warnings by way of push notifications. Another nice offering by eWeather HD is a constantly updating temperature badge on your home screen so that you know the temperature without even opening the app.
I am a weather connoisseur, so I have have tested many apps in this genre on my iPhone, but none of them even compare to eWeather HD. All of the above features are absolutely fantastic, but the most appealing part of the app is actual in its breathtaking design. There aren't many more visually appealing and well-designed apps in the entire App Store, let alone the weather genre of apps. All you need to do is check out the hourly forecast clock they created to see that. Along the way, I have also contacted the developer about adding features and they have done so with all of my suggestions. In reality, the only user that wouldn't like this app, is someone who wants simplicity and the bare minimum in their weather app.
Price: $1.99
Requires: iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad; iOS 3.2 and up
Download size: 16.9 MB
eWeather HD – Weather Forecast Premium on iTunes [11]
[12]Speedometer GPS+ is a car speedometer and bike cyclometer in one. It provides a nice dashboard speedometer/cyclometer that can be used to track your speed, path, and location. The main user-interface provides start time, time elapsed, distance, average speed, maximum speed, and altitude for any car/bike trip the user takes. You also have the ability to switch between mph and km/h. There is a compass provided as well.
I have tested many apps in this genre (i.e. vehicle dashboard) and they all share one thing, accuracy issues. I am not sure any app can be perfectly accurate at calculating speed, so accuracy problems are bound to happen. I found that Speedometer GPS+ did a fairly good job and at tracking speed and pinpointed my location quickly and accurately.
Price: Normally $2.99, but FREE for 3 days!
Requires: iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad; iOS 4.0 and up
Download size: 2.9 MB
Speedometer GPS+ – Car Speedometer, Bike Cyclometer on iTunes [14]
[15]SpellTower is one of the top word games in the App Store. The combination of game-play and stylish design makes it tremendously addictive. The goal of the game is to basically find and swipe (or tap) words (or use bonus tiles) to clear letters from the screen. There are 5 fantastic modes, each of which provide a different experience. The first is tower mode, where you try and get the highest score possible out of 150 letters. Puzzle mode and extreme puzzle mode are fun because you are preventing the letters from reaching the top despite that fact that every word you make adds a new row of letters. Rush mode features letters building up over time, which means you need to find words as fast as you can. The final mode, debate, allows you challenge your friends to an intense local multiplayer mode. Overall, this is a fantastic app.
Price: $1.99
Requires: iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad; iOS 4.2 and up
Download size: 16.5 MB

Always use your best judgement when downloading apps, such as trying trial/free versions before purchasing paid apps, if applicable.

@Jacques6 - I always thought that getting sedated would be a good idea for dentist work. I had a bad dental visit as a kid too. The dentist was a little bit of a creep and I had severe bruising in my mouth for weeks after. I was so happy to have the tooth out, I tried to forget about the bad dentist.
Anyhow, I always have my dentist use the laughing gas because I don't know if I like the idea of being unconscious during the operation.
