Scientific publishing as it stands is an inefficient way to do science on a global scale. A lot of time and money is being wasted by groups around the world duplicating research that has already been carried out. FigShare allows you to share all of your data, negative results and unpublished figures. In doing this, other researchers will not duplicate the work, but instead may publish with your previously wasted figures, or offer collaboration opportunities and feedback on preprint figures.

What goes on behind closed doors? Knowledge is power!
Rated 4 / 5 stars
creepy off the start...nice
Dungeon <---- first thought lool
duu, duuu, duuuu, duuuu
nice 4 bar harmony...
hmmm needs a solo section when it quiets down at about 1:30.
i was waiting for a huge wailing synth to take it up a notch lol.
nice tune.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
i didn't really think this would fit into the DNB genre...but later in the song it gets 'heavier'. Could've been much heavier as Karco mentioned.
I liked it but i dunno about the piano...it made it sound...VG-like. Like a vampire story or something. I agree with Karco, a more low key and distorted instrument would have made it sound much better.
Other than the criticism; well made, good tempo and NICE BASS!!
your other tracks are also great works of art.
Many complements and hoping for your success. =D
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
It's decent.
It's not bad, but not good. Sounds like you tried to have a steady low beat but I'm more of a faster beat kind of person.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Another success
I don't have a long one for you but yea, Its good I like the piano myself, I understand how the name Behind closed doors may decieve because like Karco, I can see something being made or some labor being done or something haha, I love the piece though, again, I love the piano in it and the different beats are pretty awesome! Keep up the good work! (nice way to slow it in the end =])

Last night through the gift of Facebook I learned that an old friend of mine is dating a young lass who graduated high school in 2008. Now I'm not much of a math wiz, but by doing some figuring I determined that since he and I were in the same high school class but he was actually a year older than me since he was held back a year when he was young, he is 15 years older than her. I'm not one to judge, but to me that's just a little weird. Or is it just me?
It tells me that your friend is probably a gigantic loser. No offense. What's he going to do when she goes to college and wants to party all of the time? Is he going to follow her up there and go to college bars? :rofl:
Ask him how well that worked out for Roethlisberger I'd be less than thrilled if my daughter was an 18-year old woman dating someone that old. Just saying...but I'm a dad so that's obviously going to be my opinion
If you think that that's bad, there's a guy in my department at work whose 37 and is chasing some 20 year old skirt...er I mean girl! :bricks:
What boss man said. I think when one of the two is that young theres a line. However I do think if both are more mature in age it becomes less, well, taboo?
Probably not the brightest idea that your friend has ever had. He definitely should reconsider someone that's probably a whole lot closer to his age.
None taken. Truth is I haven't even talked to him for a couple years. This guy really is a hick, and I'm not even sure how we became friends in the first place. We met in high school and really had nothing in common - he liked working on cars, motors, etc.; hunting and fishing; and I'm not into any of that. But we liked video games and freaky horror movies, and I could be really goofy with him in ways I couldn't be with my other friends. After high school he asked me to stand up in his wedding, and when his son was born he and his wife asked me to be his godfather, and I agreed. But then when I met my wife I really didn't spend much time with him because the things I did with him I could do with her, along with some other... fringe benefits. And after I got married, I found myself keeping in touch more with his wife than I did with him. Over the years I began to see he was really kind of a dink to her; not abusive, but just not a good husband - he would go and blow hundreds of dollars on a new video game system for himself, but then complain when she spent $14 on a shirt at K-Mart. They split up last year; she told me he had kind of a nervous breakdown and told her he "couldn't handle the pressure of taking care of a family anymore" or something like that. I tried to keep an open mind because I was only hearing her side of it. I know his mom had a problem with depression that led her to quit working for a while, so I figured he was going through something like that. But I just never wanted to go hang out with him or anything, we had just drifted apart, you know? So last year when I finally got around to joining Facebook, I added her as a friend and she'd keep me updated to how things were going with the divorce and her new apartment, etc. A few months ago he joined Facebook too and added me as a friend, and added both their kids too (which he really shouldn't have since neither of them are 13 yet, but I'm sure they're not the only ones breaking that rule.) And then the other night I went on the site and saw that his profile picture showed him with this girl, and when I looked at her profile that's how I learned how old she was, and did a . Like I said, I try not to judge... well let me rephrase that; I judge plenty, but I usually don't try to intervene. But I just don't see how this is going to work. I'm happy for him that he's in a relationship, and I hope it works out, but sheesh... I can't imagine dating someone who was just being born when I was a freshman in high school. But here's the funny part that's not all that funny... his ex-wife is in a relationship too, and I just found out the guy she's seeing is only 20 or 21 too! What is with these people?!
How do these people meet? I can understand if the people are all over 21, but what social circle of 30+ year olds runs with 18-20 year olds? Very few, and even less with the opposite sex. Is your buddy a drug dealer? Does he live in an exceptionally small town? Does he work as a janitor in a high school? Is he related to Hugh Heffner? I can't think of any other plausable explanations off the top of my head.
Good call. I vote yes, creepy! But seriously, I imagine myself dating an 18 year old and I want to poke my eyes out. Well, maybe not my eyes, but my ears. I mean, at 30+ what can you really have in common with a kid who just got out of high school?
Personally, I think age is just a number and if both people are happy, who cares the age difference. BUT...... You really have to question the maturity of a 35 year old dating a 20 year old. I wouldn't have as much of a problem is she was 25 and he was 40. I think an under drinking age girl is worlds less mature than a a woman even 4-5 years older. I have friends in their late 30s/early 40s who have/are dating women in their mid to late 20s. I have friends who have problems with it, but personally I didn't/don't care because the women were past the frat party stage of their lives and were responsible adults. I think I would have a problem if my friends in their mid-30s showed up to dinner or a party with a girl not old enough to drink. That is a little seedy. I personally think people get too hung up with age, but there has to be limits.
Well they broke up already, so I guess it's a moot point. Unless he waited a while to bring it up on Facebook, the whole relationship lasted less than two weeks.

The new research shows that melting of the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets has added 11.1 mm to global sea levels since 1992. This amounts to about 20% of all sea-level rise over the survey period.
About two thirds of the ice loss was from Greenland, and the remainder was from Antarctica.
Although the ice sheet losses fall within the range reported by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in 2007, the spread of the estimate at that time was so broad that it was not clear whether Antarctica was growing or shrinking.
The new estimates are a vast improvement – more than twice as accurate – thanks to the inclusion of more satellite data, and confirm that both Antarctica and Greenland are losing ice.
The study also shows that the combined rate of ice sheet melting has increased over time and, altogether, Greenland and Antarctica are now losing more than three times as much ice, equivalent to 0.95 mm of sea-level rise per year, as they were in the 1990s, equivalent to 0.27 mm of sea level rise per year.
The 47 experts combined observations from 10 different satellite missions to reconcile the differences between dozens of earlier ice sheet studies and produce the first consistent measurement of polar ice sheet changes.
Earth observation satellites are key to monitoring the polar ice because they carry instruments that measure changes in the thickness of the ice sheets, fluctuations in the speed of the outlet glaciers and even small changes in Earth's gravity field caused by melting ice.
As outlined in the paper 'A Reconciled Estimate of Ice Sheet Mass Balance' published today in Science, the researchers carefully matched time periods and survey areas, and combined measurements from European, Canadian, American and Japanese satellites.
The measurement were acquired by instruments such as the radar altimeters and synthetic aperture radars flown on ESA's ERS-1, ERS-2 and Envisat missions from 1991.
"The success of this venture is due to the cooperation of the international scientific community, and to the provision of precise satellite sensors by our space agencies," said Professor Andrew Shepherd from the University of Leeds and one of the leaders of the study.
"Without these efforts, we would not be in a position to tell people with confidence how Earth's ice sheets have changed, and to end the uncertainty that has existed for many years.""The rate of ice loss from Greenland has increased almost five-fold since the mid-1990s.
"In contrast, while the regional changes in Antarctic ice over time are sometimes quite striking, the overall balance has remained fairly constant – at least within the certainty of the satellite measurements we have to hand," said co-leader of the study Dr Erik Ivins from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
The Ice Sheet Mass Balance Inter-comparison Exercise is a collaboration between 47 researchers from 26 laboratories, supported by ESA and NASA.
Europe's Global Monitoring for Environment and Security programme will continue to monitor changes in the polar ice sheets during the coming decades, with the SAR and radar altimeter sensors on the Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-3 satellite series, scheduled to be launched from 2013 onwards.

text: Terry Gilmore and Jolene Blair, two of the prosecutors in the original Tim Masters' murder trial, are now judges. Their conduct during the trial is being investigated by the Colorado Supreme Court's Office of Attorney Regulation. Masters' attorneys have accused them of withholding key evidence during the trial. It would be a conflict of interest for the Larimer County attorneys to defend them and they have retained outside counsel. Larimer County has agreed to pay their legal fees. Just another cost of a wrongful conviction. In addition to the biggest cost to the public at large, public safety --when the wrong person is convicted, the real perpetrator is still out there-- there are big economic costs. The taxpayers of Larimer County can now add the cost of legal fees for the ex-prosecutors to the other costs, such as compensating the person wrongly convicted. The end cost of the Masters debacle will be huge. Let's hope it's also a lesson.

Silencing Jack Bogle
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Maybe it was all the foie gras and champagne. Perhaps it was the Escoveitch salmon and faux Ritz Side Car cocktails.
But for some reason, the celebration I attended in Manhattan on Tuesday night marking the 20th anniversary of the first exchange traded fund, State Street's SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) enabled me to reach my epiphany for 2013. Since I only get one a year, I was surprised it happened so early on.
It's this: An active investment management style is superior to a passive one.
Hopefully, this puts to rest the uncertainty I know resides in many investor's minds. It's right up there with paper vs. plastic and Ginger vs. Mary Ann and other raging debates. Perhaps my declaration will silence Vanguard founder Jack Bogle too.
But seriously, it is true, and for a very simple reason. Passive investing is nothing more than a theoretical construct. In reality, it cannot happen. Perhaps I should say does not happen. Specifically, not a single investor I've met in 20-plus years on the Street -- trust me, that's a big number -- has ever put all of their money in a broad market index or ETF and let it ride for their lifetime. They put some in SPY, and some in bond funds to manage volatility. Or they put some in SPY or some in small-cap indexes to add a growth component. Still others buy individual stocks and then ETFs or indexes. Whether you do this on your own or with the help of an adviser, the fact is you are engaging in active asset management. Further, unless you want to own SPY and SPY only for the rest of your life, this active management is your only option. That said, my advice to investors is to remain agnostic with respect to financial product formats and focus on combining assets in such a way that you position yourself to achieve highly specific financial goals. Specifically, I believe that active small-cap managers are worth their weight in gold during bear markets. Remember, losing less than the indexes is winning. Further, I prefer in-country active managers for international equities over passive portfolios. I practice what I preach. For the GMG Defensive Beta Fund, which I co-manage with a mandate to provide long-term capital appreciation with less volatility than broader equity markets, we combine passive ETFs (and ETNs, where the "N" stands for notes) with individual equity selections. All totaled these passive investments constitute about 31% of our holdings. Besides SPY, they include: Powershares DB Agriculture (DBA), Powershares DB Energy (DBE), SPDR Gold Shares (GLD), iShares Silver Trust (SLV), ETFS Physical Palladium Shares (PALL), ETFS Physical Platinum Shares (PPLT), United States Gasoline (UGA) and SPDR BarCap Short-Term High Yield Bond ETF (SJNK).

The Five Dumbest Things on Wall Street This Week: May 18
2. More Avon Ugliness
For a company that creates products that make its customers more attractive, Avon (AVP - Get Report) sure goes out of its way to make itself look downright repellent to investors.
Shares of the cosmetics company sank almost 10% Tuesday, after Coty yanked its $10.7 billion takeover offer on the grounds that Avon ignored its deadline to begin discussions. Last week, the privately held fragrance company raised its unsolicited, Warren Buffett-backed bid to $24.75 per share from $23.25 based on the premise that Avon would respond to Coty's overture by Monday.
In its defense, Avon did respond to Coty on Sunday, tersely saying that its board needed another week to chew on the deal. And considering how disorganized that board is -- heck, former CEO Andrea Jung is on it -- one can understand why it might take it a little extra time to get its act together. Nevertheless, Coty would have none of it and told Avon brass to kiss-off in a letter saying, "Avon's total lack of engagement with Coty leads Coty to believe that Avon remain reluctant to explore a friendly, negotiated combination on a reasonable timetable. Two months is enough." Aww. That's just heartbreaking. It really is true that there is nothing as sad as an unrequited hostile takeover. Since Coty, for no sensible reason, was bidding against itself in the first place; it need not rush back with a higher offer should it change its mind. And if they do decide to take another run at Avon, it may even get a better deal next time considering that Avon stock is now trading below Coty's original bid. As for our good friends at Avon, however, well, now they have to prove that they can do more than play hard to get. Avon shareholders may give new CEO Sheri McCoy a pass this time as she plots her own strategy for turning the company around, but they certainly won't forget this missed opportunity to cash out should the stock fall much further. As we learned from Yahoo's bone-headed decision to spurn Microsoft's merger proposal just a few years ago, that's when things could get really ugly.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

The principal of a flagship free school has resigned just a year after it opened.
Mark Evans was the founding leader of the Sir Isaac Newton Sixth Form in Norwich, the UK's first maths and science sixth form.
No reasons have been given for his departure.
The school, which moved into its permanent home at the former Bethel Street fire station in April, is also due to host the government's maths hub for the region.
The Inspiration Trust, which sponsors the school, said Dr Evans left of his own volition over the summer, but said that he did not give the trust any comments it could use to explain his decision.
He tweeted a photo of his motorbike outside his office at the school as recently as August 31, and tweeted a picture of a teacher at the school creating timetables for the new term the previous day.
He has been replaced by Mark Neild, previously vice principal at Thetford Academy, another Inspiration Trust school, and a governor of Sir Isaac.
Dame Rachel de Souza, chief executive of the Inspiration Trust, said: "We are very grateful for Dr Evan's work in setting up Britain's first Maths and Science sixth form and taking the school through the first phase. We wish him well in the future."

Lord Nash and co couldn't wait to rush to Norfolk with the "wonderful" RDS when things were rocky; how deafening is their silence now. I see that Gove has now bxxxxed up his Chip Whip post too.....shame that he was ever let loose on our children.....what a total disgrace.

Aha. Clearly a definition of 'flock' that the rest of the world is unfamiliar with.

It is an incredibly sad day for education in Norfolk and deeply depressing that a well respected, intelligent, wonderful teacher has left due to the power politics at play within the trust. I only hope that the students continue to flock to the school as the staff he recruited are outstanding. Best of luck to a wonderful educator.

That is exactly the problem in IT schools. Staff turnover is enormous. People parachuted into position overnight, often with no credentials other than the ability to say 'Yes, ma'am'. IT will claim that they are getting rid of poorly performing staff to explain the high turnover, but I promise a huge number of highly effective 'good' and 'outstanding' teachers have left schools, and in some cases, the profession because of what is being asked of them, and what they are asked to do, in order to achieve these wonderful results we hear so much about. Those flying up the chain are certainly of a similar mould. It never pays to have your own view in the IT by all accounts, you don't last long.

Sounds like a carbon copy of what sent the boy Adrian Ball to Thetford Academy when their previous head suddenly found out she didn't have a job last September. I'm sure Mr Evans didn't know he had decided to leave until he turned up for work and Mr Neild was sat in his chair. It stinks and the Inspiration Trust spreads across Norfolk like a virus. They have a blueprint of how to take over a school for the benefit of themselves (not the children or the local community). Next they will replace the governors with their own people so there is no accountability followed by getting rid of teachers who have integrity or speak out. A climate of fear then follows, dodgy OFSTED preparation and reports. Data, data, data - doesn't matter about the kids as long as the new leadership looks good. Mark Neild is perfect Inspiration Trust material - do as you are told and you will go far.

Great! In the rush to replace the energetic and innovative Mr. Evans, they have taken someone from around the corner who has not been a head teacher, & not advertised the position. In fact they didn't even write the parents! Thanks a lot Mrs De Souza. Shows how much respect you have for the school, parents, pupils and other teachers. Perhaps to you this school is just another notch on your belt? It isn't to these students! This does not bode well. The explanation is, quite frankly, very poor.

The head teacher of Sewell Park has also "decided" to leave at short notice. And it looks like Sewell park is now being run from Beccles with a contact email address that is gmail & schoolsloddon, which does not look either inspiring or reassuring. Still as long as those with their nose in trough are happy & the Interim Executive Board claim to be "delighted" so what else matters??
Thursday, September 4, 2014
Interesting my comments, posted earlier, regarding the way in which these posts were un-advertised, and filled by the 'right' people wasn't allowed. Turnover of staff in the IT seems to be increasing. Are the wheels coming off???
Thursday, September 4, 2014
Good to see the job was advertised out and they searched for the best candidate another example of jobs for the boys and standard practice of the now privatised high earners in education - Gove got his wish
Thursday, September 4, 2014
First the head at Gt Y'mouth Inspiration Primary Academy goes, now Dr Evans and posts filled nepotistically......all reeks of sinking ships!!!
Thursday, September 4, 2014
I can't believe it. Yet another position within the Inspiration Trust that I appear to have missed the advert for!!! IT seems to become more and more incestuous as every week goes by. RDS favourites parachuted in, and promoted quickly. Anyone else remember the days when senior managers in schools had done the job for years and had bags of experience? Seems that nowadays it is enough to be keen and say the right things to the right people, 5 minutes into a teaching career. Staff turnover in this trust is becoming a bit of a laughing stock!
Thursday, September 4, 2014
So RDS staff move into top jobs in Thetford and Hethersett, and now out of Hethersett to lead the INFS. Now that is some recruitment strategy!

1:25 p.m. ET: Costner on casting Whitney in "The Bodyguard:" "I thought she was the perfect choice but the red flags came out immediately. … I was reminded that this would be her first acting role. You could also think about another singer, was the suggestion — maybe somebody white. Nobody ever said it out loud, but it was a fair question, it was. There would be a lot riding on this. Maybe a more experienced actor was the way to go."

March 2 2015 Latest news:
Loanee Frank Nouble made 13 appearances and scored five goals.
Greg Miles, Twitter: greg_KOS_sport
Wednesday, May 23, 2012
West Ham pair Frank Nouble, and Olly Lee who had differing loan spells at Gillingham this season have been released.
Former Gillingham loan duo Frank Nouble and Olly Lee have been released by West Ham.
Striker Nouble enjoyed a successful spell at Priestfield where he played 13 games scoring five goals in what is easily his most successful loan period away from Upton Park.
He scored on his debut in the 6-1 win over Hereford, and his initial month's loan was extended until December, from September.
He has played on loan at West Brom, Swindon, Swansea, twice at Barnsley and Charlton in the last two years, scoring just two goals in all, and failing to make more than eight starts for any of those sides.
He also struggled to break into the Hammers first team, but made 13 appearances and scored one goal.
Midfielder Olly Lee joined the Gills in February this year and went on to make eight appearances before leaving in April. He had previously enjoyed two loan spells at Dagenham & Redbridge.

Reduced Hazard Ammunition.
At the heart of this unique product is a core of pure Bismuth that is first cast, then swaged and finally plated with a jacket of pure copper. The copper jacket assures smoother feeding and less barrel and magazine fouling than other frangible ammunition. Using the patented Bismuth core allows us to better approximate the weight, point of impact and felt recoil of conventional lead core projectiles. The Bismuth core fragments into dust when shot into mild steel. Combined together, they provide the best, most reliable frangible bullet on the market with little or no back splatter.
Bismuth Reduced Hazard Ammunition is an ideal duty round for use in high-risk environments such as nuclear, biological, chemical hazard, precious cargo areas and personal defense applications where ricochet and over penetration pose a hazard.
Now, with Bismuth, your lead free training round becomes your duty round.
Due to the area that I work in & live in I feel that I have a real need for a "reduced threat of ricochet" carry option handgun cartridge in .45acp.
So...I am always searching for new and innovative frangible ammunition types.
This one does not seem to have any overly dramatic Black Helicopter Hype & Ninja Killer Black Hood Graphics associated with the product.
Anyone actually using it? ~ Tried It? ~ tested It?
Let us know.

Recorded and mixed in the Impuls Studios in Hamburg, produced by Yenz Leonhardt (IRON SAVIOR, KINGDOM COME, SAVAGE CIRCUS....) and mastered in the Danish Jailhouse Studios by Tommy Hansen (TNT, Pagan's Mind, Helloween, Manticora, Jorn, etc...), 'Outlaw Invasion' still shows a firm grip on the band's own individual sound, yet also shows them open to other impressive influences, as is the case with 'Keep On Movin'. With its mighty chorus, the song has developed into a song that you can't get out of your head. 'Brother To Brother' is a powerful hymn,
one which doesn't just groove but also shines with its huge melody and an unforgettable, long-term chorus. And 'M.I.L.F.' is a song which could even become a band anthem. Also amongst the tracks is a deeply emotional ballad without any traces of the usual teary kitsch. Great kick-ass granades like 'Front Killers', 'The Redeemer', 'Turn To Black' and the assertive title song round off this great mixture of bastardized tracks.

I know! I know! You think you're reading this column because you made a conscious decision to treat yourself to some superb workplace advice from a shockingly handsome individual. But it's not necessarily so. You could be reading now because of a deeply ingrained synaptic response that you are unable to resist. No, I'm not talking about the computer chip the HR department inserted in your brain when you were at the company retreat. I'm talking about the power of habit.
Habits are things we do when we're on automatic, which, in your case, is most of the time. In an Inc.com article, titled "Change Any Habit Painlessly: 6 Tips," author Jeff Haden explains that "much of the time we don't really make decisions. We do what we've done before, and that makes us less productive, less effective, less healthy and fit -- less everything -- than we could be."
It's difficult to see how you could be less productive, less effective, or less healthy and fit, but if a skein of workplace habits is dragging you down, it might make sense to make a change.
To implement your transformation from the habitual to the effectual, Haden recommends a system developed by Charles Duhigg, the author of "The Power of Habit." Duhigg's strategy is based on the idea that you can't eliminate a bad habit, but you can change it. It takes six giant steps to make this change happen, which is a lot of work for someone for whom doing as little as possible, as often as possible, is not only a habit, but also a basic life philosophy. Still, why not give it a try? The worst that can happen is that you'll find it much easier to do all the dumb things you already do.
"Redefine 'must'" is the first step in changing habits. Ask yourself -- is it really true that you "must" have that coffee the minute you get to work or is it just something you do because you like hanging out in the coffee room with the other slackers and layabouts? And do you drown in a torrent of emails because you "must" check your account the moment you get to your desk or the global economy will totally melt down or are you really hoping to see if you got a response from your posting on BeNaughty.com?
Once you have examined how much "must" is really "might," you'll want to locate the cues that trigger the habit. Say the habit you're trying to change is the way you spend your days trying to avoid any contact with your supervisor. The cue for this habit might be when you arrive for work in the morning and see the boss's Bentley in the parking lot. Or it could be even earlier, like when you open your eyes in the morning and realize that you're not a character in "Game of Thrones," and you haven't been transported to the Seven Kingdoms to fight for the Lord of the North.

BOSTON -- The Boston Red Sox sure could use former ace Josh Beckett to get on a roll and help their playoff chances.
He's not sure he will."I don't know," he said after Boston's 5-3 win over the Seattle Mariners in the first game of a day-night doubleheader Wednesday. "If I can pitch like I did the first six innings, yeah. If I pitch like I did in the seventh inning, no, probably not."Beckett (4-3) was 0-2 with a 10.69 ERA in his previous three starts but through six innings allowed just an infield single to Ichiro Suzuki leading off the game. But then he gave up three runs in the seventh on homers by Russell Branyan and Casey Kotchman. Fortunately for the Red Sox, they had broken a scoreless tie with four runs in the sixth and their bullpen held Seattle hitless for 2 2/3 innings."The first six innings were tremendous" for Beckett, manager Terry Francona said. "The biggest inning of every game is after you score, you certainly want to go up and try to put up a zero. So we've got to do a better job of that, but we're also sitting on a win."Boston won its fourth straight game and improved to a season-best 19 games over .500 but still trails the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays by 5 1/2 games in the AL East.Seattle lost its fourth straight.Tim Wakefield was scheduled to face Felix Hernandez in the night game, a makeup of Tuesday night's rainout. Jon Lester, originally set to pitch for Boston, was pushed back top the opener of Friday's three-game road series against the Rays when Daisuke Matsuzaka, who had been set to pitch then, developed lower back soreness.It rained heavily Wednesday morning but only a light mist fell at times during Wednesday's opener.Once Beckett left, the Mariners were shut down by Daniel Bard for 1 2/3 innings and Jonathan Papelbon in a perfect ninth for his 32nd save in 38 opportunities.Papelbon has allowed just one hit in five scoreless innings in his last five appearances after blowing a 5-3 lead at Toronto by giving up three runs in the ninth of a 6-5 loss."Now I'm to the point where I know what's working for me, what's not working," he said. "I definitely have the feel back for my split and I'm able to keep hitters honest with it."For five innings, Beckett was engaged in a duel with David Pauley (2-5) whose only major league wins came in his previous two games. Pauley allowed two hits until getting knocked out of the game in the sixth."I started losing the grip of the ball," he said. "For the most part, my fastball was good. The fifth, sixth inning was when the ball was wet."Pauley pitched a total of nine games for Boston in 2006 and 2008 and he returned to Fenway Park where he baffled hitters from the start. He retired the first nine batters and gave up only a double to Marco Scutaro in the fourth and a single to Bill Hall in the fifth.Then the Red Sox teed off in the sixth.Scutaro led off with a single to third and took second on Victor Martinez's one-out single to left. David Ortiz then walked, loading the bases. Adrian Beltre followed with a hard shot to the mound off Pauley's glove that bounced toward the third-base line as Scutaro scored the first run.Mike Lowell hit a sacrifice fly to right and Daniel Nava made it 4-0 with a two-run lined single over the head of second baseman Chone Figgins. Jamey Wright replaced Pauley and struck out Hall to end the inning."I think [Pauley] threw the ball well," Seattle manager Daren Brown said, "just made some mistakes in the sixth that just cost us the ballgame."Beckett kept up his dominance in the seventh by starting with his seventh strikeout, fanning Figgins. Then, like Pauley, he quickly lost his touch.Branyan his 20th homer of the season to right field, Jose Lopez singled off the left-field wall and Kotchman followed with a two-run shot to right field, his ninth. Suddenly, it was 4-3 and Beckett was done after allowing four hits and one walk. Bard did the job quickly, fielding grounders by Franklin Gutierrez and Josh Bard and throwing to first to end the inning.The Red Sox made it 5-3 in the eighth on Darnell McDonald's RBI single.Game notes
Branyan has homered in 36 of the 39 ballparks in which he's played after connecting for the first time at Fenway. The three he hasn't homered in are Target Field in Minnesota, which opened this year, Nationals Park in Washington, which opened in 2008, and Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia, where the Phillies played from 1971 to 2003. ... The doubleheader was the first for both teams this year. ... Beckett has at least one strikeout in each of his 243 games, the longest active streak in the majors to start a career.

Have you ever hear of the Kona Kampachi? Well I think you will be hearing a lot more about it soon...
The Kona Kampachi is a sashimi grade Hawaiian species of yellowtail (amberjack family and related to hamachi) with no detectable mercury or PCBs... AND IT IS SUSTAINABLE FARMED by Kona Blue.
First a little more about the fish...
- NO DETECTABLE MERCURY or PCBs
- High fat content 30% and a firm texture... Perfect for sushi or searing or grilling or cooking or ...
- High levels of Omega-3
- No Internal Parasites.
- Available Year Round
Kona Blue uses state of the art (patents pending) deep ocean aquaculture in 200 feet of water a 1/2 mile off of Hawaii's Kona Coast. It is some of the cleanest water on the planet. They also have developed a flipable cage for easy cleaning. Finally, the Kona Kampachi is a local species meaning any accidental releases will not harm the environment.
Every step of the process is sustainable... The first are breed in a land based hatchery with continually refreshing ocean water -- free of hormones or stress. The hatchlings are feed zoo plankton that are feed specific algae strains. At 6-10 weeks they are large enough to transfer to the off shore pens where they are feed a food that is 30% fish meal and fish oil (sustainably fished Peruvian anchovies and fish parts cast of of processing fish for human consumption) and 70% sustainable agricultural proteins and oils. (The problem with most aquaculture is that it uses more fish in feed than it produces in human consumable fish. Kona blue has achieved a 1:1 ratio.) To top it off Kona Blue only harvest the fish to fulfill orders to ensure the maximum freshness and quality.
The water, the premium ingredients in the fish feed, and the technical improvements are what allows Kona blue to produce Kona Kampachi.
You can order Kona Kampachi from their website and SFBoater has done just that... I ordered 4 fillets at $17 per pound plus shipping for an estimated total cost $112.69 (the actual price will be determined by the weight of the fish they ship... I will be sure to report how the fish taste. (Update: Very Delicious.)
I love fish. I love to fish and I love to eat fish. I am very concerned for the state of our environment and the world wide wild fish stocks. I mean for crying out load there will be no salmon fishing this year on the west coast because of record low levels of King Salmon... The world needs more and better sustainable fishing or by some estimates all commercially viable fishing will be decimated by 2047. Do your part don't eat any fish that is harvested in an unsustainable manner. To order check out their website: Kona Blue.

Wayne Bennett AM
Wayne Bennett is "The Greatest Coach Ever". Wayne was awarded this title after coaching the Brisbane Broncos to another victorious win in the 2006 Rugby League Grand Final.
Key Points
- Wayne Bennett AM is recognised in Rugby League circles as one of the most influential and innovative of our modern day coaches
- Was inducted in 2012 to the Sport Australian Hall of Fame
- Current coach of the Newcastle Knights, the club owned by Nathan Tinkler
- Former head coach for the St. George Illawarra Dragons and the Brisbane Broncos, Wayne is a former Australian Kangaroos player and Queensland Police officer
- Longest serving coach of a single club in the history of the game in Australia, has one of the best winning percentages in Rugby League and ranks second in the number of Premierships won as a coach at the elite level
- Well known and well respected throughout Australia, Wayne Bennett is in demand as a speaker on leadership and teamwork, and has addressed many high-profile companies
Wayne was awarded the title of 'The Greatest Coach Ever' after coaching the Brisbane Broncos to another victorious win in the 2006 Rugby League Grand Final.
Wayne coached the Brisbane Broncos for his 19th consecutive season in 2006 with an amazing win over the Melbourne Storm. The Broncos won 6 out of 6 Grand Finals and the 2006 win was for Wayne 'the sweetest of them all'. The Broncos were also named Queensland team of the year with Wayne Bennett picking up his third Sport and Recreation Queensland Sport Coach of the Year award in 2006.
Bennett joined the Brisbane Broncos as their inaugural coach, and guided the club to five Premierships from as many grand final appearances between 1992 and 2000. In addition, the Broncos won two World Club Challenge titles and three pre-season titles.
In 1998 he was selected to coach the Australian national team.
He has since set coaching records for the most grand final wins (six with the Broncos and one with St. George Illawarra) and most seasons with a single club (21) in Australian rugby league history. The Broncos' success in 1997, winning both the Telstra Cup and the Visa World Club Championship, resulted in Wayne being named the Super League Coach of the Year.
As a player, Wayne Bennett represented Queensland, in seven matches against NSW from 1971 to 1973, toured New Zealand with the Australian World Cup team in 1971 and played in two provincial tour matches.
Wayne started his coaching career in 1976, his first appointment with Ipswich Brothers, then went on to coach Brisbane clubs Souths and Brothers, taking Souths to two grand finals in the 80s. Winning the 1985 grand final with Souths by beating a star-studded Wynnum Manly side that included Wally Lewis, Gene Miles, Bob Lindner, Colin Scott and Greg Dowling was Wayne's greatest achievement at Brisbane club level.
Wayne left club coaching the following season to become Queensland Director of Coaching, and then accepted a full-time coaching position with the Canberra Raiders in 1987 taking them to their first-ever grand final, and being named Coach of the Year.
Wayne was coach of the successful Queensland State of Origin sides in 1987 and 1988, and was appointed the inaugural Queensland Super League coach for the 1997 Tri-Series against NSW and New Zealand. He made a successful return to State of Origin coaching in 1998, guiding the Queensland team to an historic 2-1 series victory over NSW.
He was paid the ultimate compliment that year when chosen as the Australian coach for the final two Tests of the ANZAC series against New Zealand. Down one-nil in the series, under Wayne's coaching Australia clinched the final two Tests to secure the Trans-Tasman trophy.
Season 1998 was by far his most successful in terms of results. Wayne created history by becoming the first coach to steer his club, his state and his country to victory in their respective series.
It was also a year of major personal recognition with Wayne being named the Queensland Coach of the Year by the Queensland Sport Federation, and Australian Domestic Team Coach of the Year by the Australian Coaching Council. He was also named Queensland Father of the Year.
On the field, Season 2000 came close to emulating his feats of 1998. The Broncos won both the minor and major Premierships and Bennett was again named Coach of the Year, his third such award in the national premiership. Because of his extraordinary success, it came as little surprise when the Queensland Government wanted Rugby League added to the Queensland Academy of Sport program in 2001, that Wayne Bennett was appointed the Director. Wayne was appointed as the Coach of the Kangaroo Team for 2004.
Wayne left the St George Illawarra Dragons at the end of the 2011 season, joining the Newcastle Knights as coach on a four year deal.
Wayne has also achieved considerable success as an author, with sales of his publication Don't Die With The Music In You reaching 50,000 copies in its fourth reprint. An earlier publication, League's A Lot Like Life, sold almost 20,000 copies.
The insight into Wayne Bennett and his family on the popular ABC series Australian Story was another outstanding success.
His story is still the most requested story to be repeated by the national broadcaster.
Well known and well respected throughout Australia, Wayne is in demand as a speaker on leadership and teamwork, and has addressed staff from many high-profile companies.

Wayne was spectacular. You could hear a pin drop in the room while he spoke. He was to the point and right on the point that I was hoping that he would cover, i.e. Teamwork. He is so respected and it is very clear why he is so respected. Our group really enjoyed and appreciated Wayne's talk. In short, Wayne far exceeded my expectations.

Wayne was brilliant and had us all hanging on ever word spoken.
Cooks Plumbing Supplies Pty Ltd
Yesterday afternoon, colleagues were still speaking about Wayne and I heard guys quoting some of the points mentioned by Wayne. One of my colleagues said some of Wayne's comments caused him to do some serious soul-searching at the weekend. I also have been thinking frequently of the things Wayne said. For the duration of Wayne's talk, there was absolute silence in the room, nobody moved. Everyone was leaning forward so as not to miss a word. He made such a remarkable impression on the group. Wayne's talk fitted perfectly with our company and I could not think of a speaker who would have done a better job.
