On the receiving end of an unsolicited offer? React prudently
Blog Entry:
October 16, 2013 4:30 AM | Author: JONATHAN IVES
Jonathan Ives has been with Fifth Third Investment Banking since 2011, providing advice regarding financing strategies and mergers and acquisitions. He has more than 15 years of investment banking experience working with middle market and large corporate growth companies.
If you are like many privately held business owners, you regularly receive calls from people interested in buying your company.
Many of these calls are from brokers or investment banks trying to generate new leads. Others are from private equity firms that are "testing the waters" to see if they get a response and that may or may not have real interest after reviewing the operations or financial results. Occasionally, however, serious interest from legitimate buyers or even an expression of interest or letter of intent can find its way into your hands even though you haven't put your company on the market.
There are several factors driving strategic and private equity buyers to make unsolicited offers. It is reported that approximately $2 trillion of cash sits on the balance sheets of U.S. corporations, and balance sheets are at very healthy levels. During the severe downturn of 2008, corporations cut costs and since the recovery have operated with greater efficiency. This has allowed for margin expansion, record operating cash flows, and significant debt reduction.
At the same time, interest rates remain at record lows, banks and finance companies are aggressive, and capital markets are favorable for acquisition financing. These factors, combined with slowing revenue growth opportunities, have led many corporate buyers to actively seek acquisition targets that fit their strategic criteria.
In addition, private equity firms have several hundred billion dollars of equity on the sideline. Their investors are applying intense pressure to put equity to work in high quality transactions. Many private equity firms have a strategy of contacting entrepreneur-owned businesses that aren't "for sale" to generate proprietary deal flow and avoid an auction process.
Reacting to unsolicited buyer interest
When buyer interest is being evaluated, it will be important to know your objectives. What do you want to accomplish for yourself, management, employees and other stakeholders? How important are speed, valuation and certainty in determining your response?
In addition to your objectives, market timing can influence if now is the right time for a sale transaction. Future financial performance of the business as well as industry and capital market conditions should be evaluated. Would value to a potential buyer be likely to increase or decrease for your business if a transaction is delayed by months, quarters or years?
What to do when the offer is received
If interest from a potential buyer seems legitimate, it will be important to get specific details in writing beyond just a purchase price. The total purchase price can take various forms including cash at closing, seller financing, equity reinvestment, earnouts, and stock of the buyer's company. Additional important specifics include the transaction timetable, approvals the buyer will need from key decision makers, financing and financial wherewithal, and due diligence requirements.
An investment banker should be consulted when evaluating an inbound offer. These professionals can assist with one-on-one negotiations or advise whether approaching other buyers in a broader process would make sense. Even if the decision is made not to approach multiple buyers, investment bankers create the perception of competitive tension and availability of seller alternatives. Investment bankers understand the valuation approaches used by buyers and can help management build financial projections to support a stronger valuation.
If, after initial negotiations, you plan to move forward with an inbound offer, it will be important to consult a team of additional professionals. Your attorney, accountant and wealth planner can provide valuable perspectives and help avoid pitfalls and surprises later in the process.
In particular, an attorney can provide guidance on what is customary and what is unusual in negotiations. An accounting firm can analyze the tax implications of transaction structure and supplement your internal staff during due diligence when timely delivery of information is critical. A wealth management adviser can create a plan for investing the transaction proceeds.
Market conditions continue to be attractive for owners of privately held businesses to consider a sale. If an inbound offer is received that is credible, consider your personal and professional objectives when evaluating a transaction, and know your network of advisors will be invaluable as you move through the process of closing the sale.

My prediction: btrfs will be an option, but not the default. I would not be surprised if it were the default for 11.04, though.
Phoronix: Btrfs May Be The Default File-System In Ubuntu 10.10
Earlier this week we reported that Ubuntu has plans for the Btrfs file-system in 2011 and 2012 by providing support for installing Ubuntu Linux to a Btrfs file-system. This information was based upon documents coming out of the Ubuntu Developer Summit in Brussels, but it turns out that Canonical may actually deploy Btrfs this year. Not only to provide an installation option within the installer for Btrfs, but to make it the default file-system...
My prediction: btrfs will be an option, but not the default. I would not be surprised if it were the default for 11.04, though.
....what? You mean, it would help if they were confident about the stability of btrfs as it would help the confidence of Canonical devs too, I guess.Btrfs developers (such as Oracle's Chris Mason) needs to be happy with the idea of Ubuntu picking up Btrfs by default
Fantastic idea, 'cause it worked so well with ext4, 'casue there were absolutely no regressions at all with that once it went stable...
By all means, make it an option, but am I the only one who still believes the default filesystem should be something widely used and truely proven reliable (ie ext3)?
Btrfs will go stable in 2.6.35? Nice. Looks like 2.6.35 will be a really sweet release, with that and all the radeon-powermanagement stuff.
Short response, as long as it stays at least as fast as EXT3, and doesn't eat data, who cares?
I was mostly pointing out that even if a FS slows down during it's life, that as long as it is still as fast or faster that older systems 99% of the time it would seem to be a win.

Battle of the Immortals
Battle of the Immortals Overview
Battle of the Immortals is an action MMORPG that blends Norse mythology with a Qin Dynasty era Chinese game world. The game has many staple features such as pets, mounts, PvP combat, and an auto-navigate system but also has plenty of new innovations. Among these is the Soul Gear system in which equipment gains experience and grows with use. Additionally, the Zodiac System grants characters special powers at certain times depending on their character's selected birthday.
Berzerker – Ruthless fighters that excel at physical combat and demoralizing opponents. Berzerkers can dish out consistently high damage and have high physical defense. They are vulnerable to magic attacks.
Champion - Disciplined warriors who excel at defense. Champions use shields and have high physical and magical defense. They can draw enemy attacks away from their allies as well.
Slayer – Silent stalkers with high dexterity. Slayers execute quick strikes and deliver critical blows. They make up for their lack of defense with evasive abilities and skills that disable their opponents.
Magus – The masters of elemental magic. Magus can deal heavy damage to a single or multiple targets in an area. They have low physical defense and rely on allies for protection.
Heretic - The priest class of BOI. Heretics control the flows of life and death with their spells. They can protect and heal their allies, or corrupt enemies with shadow skills. A must-have in any serious group.
Summoner - With immeasurable power at their fingertips underestimating them would be a grave mistake. While both magically and physically capable, the Summoner uses both traits to inflict maximum damage.

Battle of the Immortals Review
By Erhan Altay
Battle of the Immortals is an action packed free to play MMORPG from the creators of Perfect World. The game was built using a different engine than previous Perfect World Entertainment titles and plays like an old school action-RPG. The isometric camera view, and '2.5D' graphics aren't cutting edge, but Battles of the Immortals has plenty of interesting features to pick up the slack.
Cookie Cutter Characters
The closed beta for Battle of the Immortals started on April 13th, 2010 and is scheduled to end on April 30th. After a wipe, the open beta should start shortly after. Each server has multiple channels which are duplicates of the same game world. This feature keeps certain areas from suffering overpopulation while still allowing friends to play together. Players are given five character slots per server which is just enough for the game's 5 classes. The classes are all standard fantasy archetypes and include Berzerker (damage dealing warrior), Champion (tank), Slayer (rogue), Magus (mage), and Heretic (priest.) Character customization is very limited. Players can chose from five hair styles and ten face styles. That's it. Regardless of the options selected, characters end up looking very much alike.
A Diverse World
The game world of Battle of the Immortals borrows heavily from an assortment of cultures. New players start off in an Egyptian setting, but are soon catapulted to the bottom of the ocean, then onto the exotic Easter Island. Asian themed areas are also included, as is a frigid Nordic island. The varied environments help keep the visuals interesting, but the game's heavy use of automation means most players will never feel immersed in the game world. Controls are simple enough. Like most games with isometric camera views, movement is done exclusively with the mouse. That means Battle of the Immortals is a click-to-move game, but keyboard shortcuts are available to make interface navigation and skill use much easier. A series of help menus provide new players with basic instructions, but the controls themselves are not complicated. Instead, players will pick up the basics as they complete a never ending chain of quests.
Running on Auto Pilot
Like many Asian MMORPGs, Battle of the Immortals has a built in auto-navigate feature in which players can click on the name of an NPC or monster and watch their character automatically move to where they are located. Most quests either involve speaking to a certain NPC, killing a certain number of a particular monster, or collecting a certain number of a particular item. All three types of quest are easy to figure out and can be done with minimal effort. The first dozen or so quests reward players with potions and equipment along with tons of experience. Questing is so rewarding that leveling without them is unthinkable in BOI. But with them, levels go by fast. Players can easily hit level 20 in their first play session. Even with the level cap set somewhere around 95, that's pretty fast.
Touch & Feel
Fast paced gameplay and an interesting game world may give players a good first impression of Battles of the Immortals, but the font and interface are likely to cause frustration. The text in the game is nearly unreadable and just looks plain ugly. Obviously this is a localization issue since the game was originally developed in China. Hopefully this problem will be fixed before the final release. Another headache is the interface. The inventory and character menus look rough and are needlessly complicated. Bag space is also terribly restricted. The game gives away a lot of items with gift boxes, but just juggling these freebies along with the potions and loot collected is a hassle since players only have 25 inventory slots to work with.
Fight Against the Odds
Combat is for the most part fluid, but doesn't feel quite as responsive as in Diablo 2 or other high production games. Monsters have a tendency to bunch up literally on top of each other which looks a bit cheesy. Perfect World Entertainment has beefed up the aggressiveness of the monsters for the Western version of Battle of the Immortals. This means that even at low levels, enemies won't just stand around to be beaten on like the monsters in Jade Dynasty or Ether Saga Online do. Players have several tools in their arsenal for dealing with these aggressive monsters. The first is something called XP skills. Unlike regular skills which require MP to use, XP skills can only be activated when the XP bar fills. These skills deal massive damage in a large area of effect radius. They are perfect for quickly completing kill quests since monsters tend to bunch up together. The second tool is the pet system.
Gotta Catch 'em All!
One of the most interesting features in Battle of the Immortals is its pet system. Players don't start with a pet, but any class can get one simply by killing monsters. Almost every monster, including some bosses, have a chance of dropping them selves as a pet when defeated. When this happens, they'll float where they fell but the player's cursor will turn into a lasso when hovered over them. Right clicking on the monster at this stage will add it to the player's pet list. Like player characters, pets have five stats (Vit, Spr, Str, Int, Dex) and can learn skills. Each pet has a different primary stat and either a magical or physical attack type. All pets start at level 1 but quickly level up as they share experience with their master. Pets gain 2 stat points per level that must be distributed among the five stats. Player character also gain two stat points, but only after level 20. Until then, the game handles stat allocation automatically. Only one pet can be activated at a time, and two more can be kept in storage. An additional pet storage slot is available for every 30 levels a player progresses, but that is still far too limited. Dismissing old pets is the most difficult decision players have to make in Battle of the Immortals, and it would be been great if we were able to store them someplace like in Pokemon.
Mounts & More
Players also have to manage various mounts in the game. There are six mount slots to work with, but given the large variety of mounts even this may prove limited. The first standard mount is granted as a reward for completing an instanced dungeon. Later, mechanical mounts and even mounts that can be ridden by multiple players become available. Besides mounts and pets, there's a host of other features included in Battle of the Immortals. Each week players are given 300 minutes of double experience time that they can activate and deactivate as often as they like. Players also earn salary points based on how many hours they spend online. These salary points can be used to purchase premium items and serve as an alternative to the item mall which requires ZEN. There's also a controversial in-game botting system called Combat Aid. It requires 'energy' to use. The amount of energy required means it is only viable starting at level 60, but it just goes further in promoting automation over player input. The reasoning behind an official bot program is always that people are just going to bot anyway. It still feels like a lazy move on the developers part, and definitely makes the game feel less credible.
Delivering the End Game
Besides instanced dungeons that require parties of up to 6 to complete, the game offers a simple PvP system to keep high level players interested. Starting at level 31, players can click a little blue shield icon near their health bars and turn on PvP mode. This allows them to attack and be attacked by other players. But PvP is not a complete free for all, killing innocent players will turn a player's name yellow and eventually red. Players flagged as murderers in this way will drop equipment upon death. Another feature that is only available later on is the Tech system (level 35) which is the main method of crafting. The ability to tweak weapon and armor stats through forging and gem socketing also adds a level of customization to the game. Most weapons will naturally gain experience as they are used and become more powerful. This means even gear acquired during earlier levels can still be made useful. All these features will benefit players who stick around, but is Battle of Immortals worth the effort? Well that depends on taste. It's not the most cutting edge game, but it is casual friendly and easy to play.
Final Verdict: Great
Battle of the Immortals isn't perfect, but it is a highly playable MMORPG with fast paced gameplay. Progression feels well paced, and new features slowly unlock as players level up. The pet and mount systems are top notch, but the game does too much to promote automation. Even with the diverse environments and quests, there's never a sense of depth to Battle of the Immortals.

Laverne & Shirley still lives in the hearts of viewers everywhere and is the recipient of this years Fan Favorite Award, which goes to a series thats an All-American classic, with characters who became our friends, stories we could all relate to and irresistible laughs. This is the first time the cast of Laverne & Shirley will be reunited on television in nearly a decade. Laverne & Shirley aired on ABC for eight seasons from 1976-1983 and was a spinoff of the Garry Marshall hit Happy Days. But the show soon found its own avid fans, thanks to loveable stars Penny Marshall as Laverne De Fazio and Cindy Williams as Shirley Feeney, who play best friends and roommates working in a Milwaukee brewery. Constantly annoyed by their neighbors, Leonard Lenny Kosnowski (Michael McKean) and Andrew Squiggy Squiggman (David L. Lander), Laverne and Shirley learn to navigate their lives as two single young women in 1950s Milwaukee and later in the series, 1960s Los Angeles.
One Day At A Time is being presented with the Innovator Award, which is given to a television series that carved out new territory, tackled important issues of its day and helped re-defined its genre. The series, which was a hybrid drama/comedy, addressed such taboo topics as pre-marital sex, suicide, sexual harassment and more, breaking barriers and paving the way for future shows to tackle these issues as well. Developed and written in part by TV visionary Norman Lear, One Day At A Time aired on CBS for nine seasons from 1975-1984. Starring Bonnie Franklin, Valerie Bertinelli and Mackenzie Phillips as Ann Romano, Barbara Cooper and Julie Cooper, the series revolved around a family headed by a single mother (Franklin) that relocates to Indianapolis, where their new apartment building super, Dwayne Schneider (Pat Harrington Jr.), befriends them. Also taking part in the cast reunion is Glenn Scarpelli, who joined the series in 1980 as the son of Anns boyfriend, Nick.
The cast and show creator behind the cutting-edge and witty CBS series, Murphy Brown Candice Bergen, Faith Ford, Joe Regalbuto, Charles Kimbrough, Grant Shaud and Diane English will be honored with the Impact Award. The honor is presented to a show that offered both entertainment and enlightenment, with comedy that reflected reality. The Fan Favorite Award is being presented to the cast of Laverne and Shirley. The series, which won viewers' hearts, starred Cindy Williams, Penny Marshall as well as Michael McKean and David Lander, who will all be on hand to accept the award.
The 22-time Emmy® Award-winning childrens series, "Pee-wees Playhouse, ran on CBS for five seasons from 1986-1991 and has been a staple in pop culture for over 25 years. The title character is portrayed by actor and comedy icon, Paul Reubens, who created what is widely considered one of the most innovative and ground-breaking children's programs in television history. Reubens' wonderfully diverse and colorful playhouse filled with puppets, genies, robots, cowboys and pterodactyls sparked countless imaginations and brought joy and laughter to children and adults alike. The show has been named one of Top 25 Cult Shows Ever by TV Guide Magazine, and Pee-wee is more popular than ever with a hit Broadway show, HBO Special, and enormous social media following with millions of followers on Twitter and Facebook. Fittingly, Pee-wees Playhouse will receive the Pop Culture Award at the TV Land Awards 10th Anniversary ceremony.
The Emmy® Award-winning series In Living Color, which aired from 1990 to 1994, was written by, created by and starred Keenen Ivory Wayans, and also featured Jim Carrey, Tommy Davidson, Shawn Wayans, Marlon Wayans, Kelly Coffield Park, Kim Wayans, TKeyah Crystal Keymah and David Alan Grier. Receiving the aptly-named Groundbreaking Award at this years TV Land Awards ceremony, the sketch comedy series was the first of its kind to break down barriers and feature a predominantly African-American cast. As the theme song suggested, the show where you could do what you want to do was full of unbridled creative energy, resulting in edgy and hilarious characters like Homey D. Clown, Fire Marshall Bill, Wanda, and Vera De Milo. The show coined as the first diverse hip-hop comedy, dance-sketch series on television by Entertainment Weekly also featured some of the greatest R&B and Hip-Hop musical artists of the 90s who frequently performed on the In Living Color stage. The series also starred gifted comedians Damon Wayans and Jamie Foxx.

Midwest Living Review
Not knowing what you might find at Kaleidoscope an Artists' Gallery is all part of the fun. It could be a crisp photo of a red autumn leaf across the back of a glossy guitar, a bracelet made from vintage buttons or acrylics, or pastel and watercolor paintings. Common subject matter includes elegant blue herons, white water lilies and the rolling terrain found throughout the Minnesota Glacial Lakes region stretching roughly from Willmar to Alexandria.
About 10 artists display their work here. Banner Oak Pottery runs a kiln on the property; visitors can find plenty of pottery bowls, plates, platters and teapots, along with functional art such as rounded striped baskets and tabletop quilts. Among the standout items are Carolyn Olson's quilted African batik portraits enhanced with beads for an intriguing multidimensional effect.
The gallery stays open year-round, but call ahead as seasonal hours can be limited. Extend the visit by exploring a handful of other local shops, nearby Sibley State Park, Glacial Lakes Winery and Johnny Appleseed Orchard.

Fire destroys home of five: Lebanon blaze took more than an hour to get under control
Wednesday, September 5, 2012
LEBANON, Maine — A residence on Oak Hill Road, home to a family of five, was destroyed in a blaze that took fire crews more than an hour Tuesday to get under control.
Early Tuesday evening, as fire officials were still on scene doing overhaul procedures to prevent the fire from reigniting, Bedard said he was unsure about his family's future living situation.
Dozens of family members and neighbors came to support the Bedards.
Bedard said he kept his pickup truck and motorcycle in the garage, and was unsure Tuesday evening whether the two vehicles were damaged, and to what degree.
Neubert said there were also reports of ammunition being kept in the garage, but he said it presented little danger during a fire.
"Ammo exploding by itself is not a big deal," he said. "It doesn't make a big explosion."
Fire Chief Skip Wood called in the Maine fire marshal to the scene, said Neubert.
Tuesday's fire drew response from four neighboring towns. Milton and Rochester, N.H., fire departments were the first called to assist, said Neubert. Farmington, N.H., and Berwick fire departments also responded to the scene, as did the Lebanon Rescue Department.
The fire remains under investigation, and no cause has been determined. Neubert said Tuesday that the Fire Marshal's Office will likely investigate the blaze.

Thread: The Hobbit Movie Thread

The thing about Nori is that he's described as being involved in "dubious and probably illegal" activities. So his look strikes me as some kind of con-man who's all primped up trying to look his best but still comes across as kind of shady.

The dwarves look amazing. Keep em coming.

Fili and Kili
Continuing the slow reveal of the dwarves, we have Fili and Kili.
Sad to say, I'm pretty disappointed/unhappy with this image.
Fili is okay, but Kili? I don't mind a "hot" dwarf, but he looks WAY too much like a human or elf, and nothing like a dwarf. Where's the makeup?
July 13th, 2011, 09:55 AM #172
Agreed! I am confused. He totally looks like a human. I don't think his being a young dwarf really explains this.

New Bilbo image
Here's a new image of Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins!
Also, this weekend will bring the first HOBBIT trailer. I'll post it here as soon as it is available.
December 17th, 2011, 12:01 AM #174
I wonder whether it will be a longish trailer (as trailers go) or one of those 15 second teasers?
Whichever it is, I want to see it!
December 17th, 2011, 03:34 AM #175
Wow, Freeman suits Hobbitness perfectly.
Cannot wait to see this film!
December 19th, 2011, 12:43 PM #176
I am as giddy as a school girl just thinking about it, especially since I will take my daughter. Insert ahhh here.

First HOBBIT Trailer!!!
Well, we've been waiting 10 years for it! And here it is, the first HOBBIT Trailer!
I've only watched it twice so far, but wow!!! The trailer is WAY more than I was expecting!
December 21st, 2011, 03:49 AM #178
Agreed, EA, I was expecting very little in the way of footage.
Did the singing of the Dwarves make anyone else's hair stand on end? It was... wow. And the effects look good, as do the costumes and stuff, as does everything else. Oh, and there's Cate Blanchett in it, so I'm happy.
I'm really excited for it now.

This claddagh ring with celtic weave band is a beautiful spin on the traditional claddagh style. Instead of having the arms of the claddagh be the band of the ring that wraps around your finger, this ring showcases the entire circular claddagh, flanked by a traditional celtic weave band, to secure the ring to your finger. These details make this claddagh style unique, while maintaining the traditional design and meaning. This piece stands well alone, or when paired with other claddagh or celtic styles of necklace, earrings, and bracelets.

The Rays Wives Organization participates in community events throughout the baseball season. They plan and coordinate signature events such as the Rays on the Runway Fashion Show to benefit the Children's Dream Fund, as well as the Mystery Ball sale and silent auction to benefit All Children's Hospital and the Thanksmas in July Drive that benefits local charities.
The signature Rays Wives event, the Rays on the Runway Fashion Show to benefit the Children's Dream Fund, took place on Wednesday, June 25, 2014, at the Renaissance Vinoy Resort. The annual event hosts players and coaches who are paired with their significant other, or a child participating from the Children's Dream Fund, an organization that grants wishes to children with life threatening illnesses. The couples walk the runway and model the season's newest fashions. The event raises more than $70,000 annually for the Dream Fund.
On August 30, 2014, the Wives hosted their 3rd Annual Mystery Ball and Silent Auction benefiting All Children's Hospital. The popular event featured a silent auction of unique items donated by players and coaches and "mystery ball" grab bags. These grab bags included baseballs autographed by Rays players and coaches along with a selection of players from visiting teams. Mystery Ball raised over $36,000 to benefit All Children's Hospital.
On Saturday, July 26 and Sunday, July 27, Jaye Maddon and the Rays Wives will once again be collecting new and unused toiletry items to benefit local homeless shelters. Please see below for details on how you can help.

What to bring:
All fans who donate will receive a Rays prize!
The Rays Wives walked off with a 13-12 win over the Marlins Wives in the "Citrus Classic" prior to the May 27, 2013, Rays-Marlins game at Tropicana Field.
Sarah Fuld raced home from first base on Aly Shelton's single to center field to give the Rays Wives the walk-off win.
The Rays Wives used Monday's game to raise money through pledges to benefit the charity Autism Speaks. The Rays Baseball Foundation matched each pledge. The Marlins Wives played on behalf of Shake-A-Leg Miami, a foundation that works with people with physical, developmental and economic challenges in a marine environment.
The Rays Wives won, 14-2, in Miami last year, but lost the initial meeting between the teams in 2011, when the Marlins Wives took a 6-1 win at Tropicana Field.
The partnership between the Rays, Rays Wives and Pet Pal animal shelter began in 2012 with the creation of the first ever "Players and Pooches" 13-month, full-color calendar. The annual calendar has featured Rays Manager Joe Maddon with his Great Dane, Athena, and his English Bulldog, Winston; Evan Longoria and his Boerboel Mastiff, Tatum and Dachsund, Miss Molly; and Alex Cobb and his American Bulldog, Axel.
On Sunday, September 7, 2014 the Rays Wives will be hosting a pet food drive to benefit Pet Pal Animal Shelter. Fans are encouraged to bring dog and cat food (preferably Science Diet brand) to Gate 1 or Gate 6 where Rays Wives and Pet Pal staff members will be on hand to collect the items. These donations will help the shelter's effort to give every pet a nutritious meal.
During the game, the Rays Wives will also hold a silent auction with items from Rays players and other All-Stars around the league on the tbt* Party Deck.
Pet Pal is a no-kill, non-profit organization committed to rescuing dogs and cats from animal shelters where they may otherwise be euthanized due to time limitations or lack of socialization or training. Pet Pal is also dedicated to educating the public about the pet overpopulation crisis, the importance of spaying/neutering and responsible pet ownership. For more information on Pet Pal, visit petpalanimalshelter.com.

Join Grant and Angie Balfour and the Rays Family as they go Miles for Smiles on Saturday, August 2, 2014.

I buy a Christmas ornament every year for my granddaughter, this year was a hockey ornament because she and her dad like to go to hockey games. The ornament arrived nicely packaged. I will recommend ordering from the ornament shop. Such a great selection and no matter what she will be in next year I'm sure I will find it at the Ornament Shop. Thank you for creating a special memory year after year.

Whitecaps play not too little, but too late
For the second time this season, the West Michigan Whitecaps came up just short of securing a spot in the 2012 Midwest League playoffs. Also, for the first time in franchise history, the 'Caps will be missing the playoffs in back-to-back seasons. Despite winning nine of their last 13 games, West Michigan was eliminated from the playoff race with a loss to Fort Wayne Friday night. The teams went 15-5 down the stretch in the first half of the season, but were unable to catch Bowling Green for that spot. Maybe they needed a miracle, or…maybe they needed starting pitcher Marcelo Carreno…
Just one day after being eliminated, Carreno and the Whitecaps came home to Fifth-Third Ballpark and took everything out on the Dayton Dragons. Carreno recorded 13 strikeouts in the 7-1 victory, carving up the Dragons with his nasty curveball. He threw six scoreless innings and finished with game with 66 strikes on 89 pitches. Carreno's 13 strikeouts were a career high, and the most by a starting pitcher this season.
"My curveball was amazing tonight", he told the Grand Rapids Press. "Their hitters couldn't hit my curveball so just used it a lot. Every time I got two strikes on a hitter, I went to the curveball and it was a strikeout. My fastball and change-up was good, too, and I could close my eyes tonight and throw the ball for a strike. We didn't make the playoffs, and we feel bad about that, but we keep playing hard. We are a winning team."
Offensively, the 'Caps scored six runs in the second inning to help secure the win. Eugenio Suarez had an RBI single and Jason King hit a two-out single to make it 6-0. In the fifth inning, Colin Kaline added an RBI single to score King, who had a double to lead off the inning. Kaline, King, and Suarez each had two hits in the game. Unfortunately, it was a little too late for the 'Caps, but they will still end the season with a winning record. We went to their second-to-last game yesterday, and I'll post pics of that game soon.

Loss of Rondo for year hurts Celts playoff chances
Tuesday, January 29, 2013
BOSTON — The Celtics' grip on the last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference already was slipping.
Now he's done.
"He's known to play through injuries," Pierce said. "If Rondo can suit up, he's going to suit up. So he didn't suit up today and we knew it wasn't good."
The Heat also could have won in the first overtime, but Dwyane Wade, who had 17 points, missed a jumper as the buzzer sounded.
Now the Celtics have neither member of their starting backcourt from the past five seasons, Allen and Rondo.

Human Evolution: The First 200 Million Years

The interactive exhibition features a variety of multi-media programs, as well as more than 100 touchable casts of fossil bones from primate and human evolutionary records. Visitors have the opportunity to explore the actual fossil evidence of human evolution, to see how physical anthropologists and other scientists work to interpret the evidence, and to witness the outcome of evolutionary processes in our everyday lives. A complementary website offers an avenue for further exploration, for visitors and non-visitors alike: www.penn.museum/humanevolution.

Penn Museum in Philadelphia Explores Origins of 2012 End of World Predictions
With Major New Exhibition MAYA 2012: Lords of Time
Advance Group Tickets on Sale Now
PHILADELPHIA, PA —Did the Maya believe the world would end in December 2012? In MAYA 2012: Lords of Time—a major new exhibition opening next May—the Penn Museum in Philadelphia confronts the current fascination with the year 2012, comparing predictions of a world-transforming apocalypse with their supposed origins in the ancient Maya civilization.
MAYA 2012 leads visitors on a journey through the Maya's time-ordered universe, expressed through their intricate calendar systems, and the power wielded by their divine kings, the astounding "lords of time." Visitors explore the Maya world through interactive experiences and walk among sculptures and full-sized replicas of major monuments.
PHILADELPHIA, PA, Summer 2011—It may look like a rather unassuming beige box, but the Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer (IR) is a vital piece of high technology scientific equipment, key to a host of exciting discoveries made, and no doubt to be made, at the Penn Museum.
That is why Dr. Patrick McGovern, Scientific Director of the Museum's Biomolecular Archaeology Laboratory, was so delighted to receive the June 2011 donation of a "new" used Fourier-transform IR from The Hershey Company of Hershey, PA, replacing their current instrument, donated by the Dupont company in the mid-1990's, and rapidly growing obsolete.

Making a Monument: The Fall and Rise of the World Trade Center
Minoru Yamasaki's design for the World Trade Center, unveiled in 1964, was harshly criticized, only gradually gaining a place in the hearts of New Yorkers and tourists alike in the years that followed the towers opening in 1972-73. After they were destroyed on September 11, 2001, the twin towers were lionized. Like monuments in all ages, the World Trade Center has had its meaning defined and changed several times in response to the needs, expectations, and memories of the people. Dr. David Brownlee, Shapiro-Weitzenhoffer Professor of the History of Art at Penn, recounts the story of the World Trade Center as he explores the making of monuments in the modern world.

Scientist Stephen Jay Gould's Accusations against Samuel Morton's Methodologies are Tested and Refuted
Penn Museum's Scientific Morton Collection of 19th Century Skulls
Center of Controversy around History, Methodology of Science
PHILADEPHIA, PA—The scientific integrity of one 19th century Philadelphia scientist has been reaffirmed—but at the decided expense of a prominent late 20th century scientist who had discredited him.
Such was the conclusion reached by a group of anthropologists working collaboratively to re-examine, and perform anew, scientific measurements on a famous collection of nearly 1,000 skulls from around the world, the "American Golgotha" collected and studied by Philadelphia physician Samuel George Morton (1799-1851). Today, much of the collection resides at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology in Philadelphia, where members of the anthropology team performed their analyses.

Penn Museum's Alaskan Umiaq is Centerpiece of Exhibition
At the United Nations Headquarters in NYC
PHILADELPHIA, PA May 2011—Penn Museum's largest object from Alaska—a 15-foot long Umiaq, or Iñupiaq boat—journeys to the United Nations Headquarters in New York City, where it takes center stage in a new exhibition, The Right to Water and Indigenous Peoples, May 16 through June 30, 2011. The exhibition, which marks the Tenth Session of the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, highlights water's critical relevance to indigenous peoples' cultural vitality as well as their social and economic well being, and includes contributions from indigenous film and photographic artists from all over the world.
Read more on Penn's Year of Water website.
About the Umiaq
The Museum's Umiaq (15'1"L by 4'6"W by 1'7"H, object #29-47-5) is an Iñupiaq wooden frame boat covered with stretched walrus hide coated with seal oil, and dates to the late 19th-early 20th centuries. Sewn or spliced together without benefit of nails, which could rust and sink the boat, Umiaqs are still used by Iñupiaq people for hunting whales or for summer transport. They are easier to repair than aluminum boats and don't make metallic sounds that can frighten away whales.

The vast urban expansion in developing countries has global implications. What happens in the cities of the less developed world in the coming years will shape prospects for economic growth, poverty alleviation, population stabilization, environmental sustainability and, ultimately, the exercise of human rights worldwide (UNFPA, 2007). And while urbanization offers significant opportunities to reduce poverty and gender inequality, and to promote sustainable development, managing urban environments sustainably and equitably is one of the greatest challenges for the next decades. Over the past 50 years, the accumulation of people in urban areas, their consumption patterns, behaviors and activities have caused a series of ecosystem changes and have had a significant impact on the environment in terms of resource consumption and waste discharge (UNEP, 2002). As a result, city expansion is having an unprecedented impact on natural ecosystems. Urban infrastructure affects the health status of the population by facilitating or hindering access to public services, such as clean drinking water, sanitation, electricity, and transportation, as well as education, health services, communications and public spaces for recreation and sports. Urban design should provide physical structures that enable people to achieve their potential, meet their physical, social, and spiritual needs, exercise greater control over their quality of life, and contribute to the development of society.
