Braves Pitcher Gavin Floyd Suffers Fractured Elbow
Major League Baseball(NEW YORK) -- The Atlanta Braves are dealing with yet another pitching injury as starter Gavin Floyd will be placed on the disabled list after breaking a bone is his throwing elbow on Thursday night.
Floyd broke the olecranon -- the bony tip of the ulna that sticks out behind the elbow -- in the seventh inning on his first pitch to outfielder Jayson Werth.
This is a rare injury for a player, so the team isn't exactly sure when he'll be able to get back on the mound, but he's expected to make a full recovery.
The team had signed Floyd because of injuries to the team's starting rotation heading into the season. The Braves have already lost starers Kris Medlen and Brandon Beachy for the season as both required Tommy John Surgery.
Floyd was off to a great start with the Braves. In 9 starts, he went 2-2 with a 2.65 ERA. The 31-year-old is in his 11th Major League Season, and has a career 72-72 record.

Ortiz Held Out of Starting Lineup Due to Sore Right CalfScott Cunningham/Getty Images(BOSTON) -- Boston Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz was scratched from the team's starting lineup Thursday against the Atlanta Braves due to right calf soreness. Ortiz did enter the game in the eighth inning as a pinch-hitter and was intentionally walked, but then was replaced by a pinch-runner. The 38-year-old Ortiz has been dealing with calf issues throughout the season and he missed last Saturday's game due to his calf.
"After two full days at first base (in Atlanta) and another at DH last night, it was best to hold him out tonight," Red Sox skipper John Farrell said. "This is precautionary, just want to not put him at risk any further."Ortiz is hitting .270, with 12 home runs, 30 RBIs and a .372 on-base percentage this season.

Red Sox Beat Braves, Snap Skid
Scott Cunningham/Getty Images(ATLANTA, Ga.) -- David Ortiz hadn't homered since May 14 and was hitting just .118 with no runs batted in in his last 10 games. Coincidentally, the Boston Red Sox had not won since May 14 and lost their previous 10 contests.
In the top of the sixth inning, trailing 6-3 at Atlanta, and with two runners on base, Ortiz launched a three-run homer to left center that tied the ballgame. He later drove in the go-ahead run on a sacrifice fly in the seventh as the Red Sox (21-29) defeated the Braves, 8-6, to snap their longest skid in two decades.
"It's been too long since we last shook hands following a win," said Boston manager John Farrell. The Red Sox were in danger of tying the record for most consecutive losses by a defending World Series champion. The 1998 Florida Marlins dropped 11 in a row twice during their 1997 title defense. Boston had not lost 10 straight since the 1994 season.
An optimistic start for the Red Sox saw Jackie Bradley, Jr. drive in Grady Sizemore for the games first run in the third. However, starting pitcher Clay Buchholz walked a career high eight batters and did not make it out of the fourth inning. The Braves (28-22) scored three runs in both the third and fourth innings to chase the righty.
"It seems to be snowballing on me right now," said Buchholz who allowed six runs on four hits before being lifted in the fourth without recording an out.
Boston rallied though, beginning with a two-run single by Dustin Pedroia in the sixth, which immediately preceeded Ortiz's game-tying blast off Atlanta's Ervin Santana. There was a near 90-minute rain delay before the inning was finally ended.
The Red Sox bats, and bullpen, finally came through when Ortiz lifted a fly ball to deep right field in the seventh that put Boston ahead, 7-6. A.J. Pierzynski then singled home another run while the bullpen held Atlanta off the boards for the final five innings.
Ian Thomas (1-2) was saddled with the loss after giving up the two runs in the seventh, while Edward Mujica (2-1) got the win for Boston. Koji Uehara earned his 10th save of the season, getting Andrelton Simmons to ground into a game-ending double play in the ninth.

Arenado Breaks Finger, Will Miss "Some Time"
Scott Cunningham/Getty Images(ATLANTA, Ga.) -- The Colorado Rockies could be without third baseman Nolan Arenado for a significant amount of time. That is after the second year player fractured his left middle finger on a head-first slide into second base Friday night.
"He'll miss some time," said Rockies manager Walt Weiss. "It's tough news for our club. He's off to a great start and a hell of a player."
Arenado was hitting .305 with six home runs and 28 runs batted in to begin the season. The injury came in the top of the second when he hit a double to left. Arenado dove head first, ahead of the tag from Atlanta Braves shortstop Andrelton Simmons.
Following a review of the play, which was upheld, Arenado grabbed at his left hand but stayed in the game and later scored. He was replaced in the field by Charlie Culberson in the bottom of the second.
Currently, Arenado is listed as day-to-day but could miss 6-8 weeks if he opts to have surgery. The Rockies would end up losing, 3-2, to Atlanta.

Is the Obesity Epidemic Exaggerated?
Posted By Mark Sisson On July 9, 2014 @ 8:00 am In Hype | 195 Comments
Obesity has reached epidemic proportions. People are fat and getting fatter, with no end in sight. Even kids are fat these days. Right? We've all seen the picture of the McDonald's-eating toddler and heard the dire nightly news reports about growing obesity narrating back shots of anonymous overweight families trudging along with wedgies and short shorts. But just as the public at large bemoans the pervasiveness of the obesity epidemic, many critics are claiming the opposite: that the obesity epidemic [7] is exaggerated and overinflated; that the "overweight" and "obese" categories are ploys by insurance companies to get more money from policy holders; that obesity in and of itself isn't actually a health hazard. Some, like Paul Campos, are even arguing [8] that America's weight problem is "imaginary."
Could this be? Am I tilting at windmills when I decry our collective weight problem?
Let's look at the claims being made.
First, there's the claim that the definition of obesity is arbitrary and the obesity epidemic only arose because our definition of obesity changed to include more people. According to this argument, people aren't necessarily any heavier, but what was previously assumed to be a healthy weight has now been deemed an unhealthy weight by statistical trickery. In his 2005 book, Fat Politics, J. Eric Oliver (PDF [9]) tells the story of Louis Dublin, a statistician for MetLife insurance in the 1940s who analyzed the connection between age, bodyweight, and death rate among MetLife subscribers. Dublin found that thinner people generally lived longer and those who maintained close to the bodyweight of an average 25 year-old lived the longest. He published a new weight chart that shifted the healthy weight threshold back, effectively making millions of Americans obese or overweight overnight. And even though he did this to predict who would die earliest and determine who should pay the most for insurance policies, not to uncover a public health threat, it caught on and formed the basis for government policy regarding obesity and health that continues today.
The controversy is in determining whether the current weight charts are based on medical observances and biological truths about the effect of certain BMIs on disease and death risk, or on corporate interests. Is a BMI greater than 25 officially overweight because research shows that people with BMIs over 25 are more likely to die or develop diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and other degenerative diseases?
This leads to the second main argument – that obesity in and of itself has never been causally linked to health problems or increased mortality.
It's not a new one. In both Oliver's book and The Obesity Myth [10], by Paul Campos, the authors try to debunk the causal connections between obesity and poor health outcomes. According to Campos, Oliver, and others like the Health at Every Size (HAES) movement [11], the negative health effects associated with obesity aren't caused by the excess body weight itself, but by the inactivity, poor eating, and other metabolic factors that cause the weight gain. Obesity is just an indicator of the root metabolic dysfunctions. And it's not even a reliable indicator, they say, since many obese people remain "metabolically healthy." They often cite the studies that find slightly overweight BMIs to be protective against early mortality [12] as proof.
Some of their messages resonate. Fixating solely on what the scale says while excluding how you look, feel, perform (in the gym, bedroom, and bathroom), and sleep doesn't really work, and I have always maintained that body weight is not the ultimate determinant or even indicator of health [13]. BMI is good at identifying obesity in large populations, but it's less accurate on the individual level, almost to the point of uselessness. People who strength train [14] will often have overweight BMIs but low body fat. Are they overweight? Technically, yes. But are they unhealthily overweight? Absolutely not.
But I'm not convinced the obesity epidemic is a figment of our imagination, nor do I think obesity in and of itself is harmless.
Evidence shows that body fat is an endocrine organ – it produces hormones that help control body weight and energy metabolism, as well as inflammatory cytokines. It's not inert insulation that just sits there. It does stuff and if you have too much of it, it does bad stuff. Like:
There are also different kinds of body fat. You've got subcutaneous fat, visceral fat, and brown fat. Visceral fat (the fat that surrounds organs and concentrates in the abdominal area) contains more inflammatory cells that secrete inflammatory cytokines [23]. It's more metabolically active, more insulin resistant, more dangerous than subcutaneous fat, which is more stable and less inflammatory (but still not harmless!). Meanwhile, brown fat [24] actually promotes the oxidation of other kinds of body fat. It's how babies keep warm without the ability to shiver, and new evidence reveals that it plays a large role in adult metabolism [25], too; adults with the most brown fat have lower fasting glucose and weigh less. If you're going to say that obesity is healthy or imaginary, you have to account for the functional differences between subcutaneous, visceral, and brown fat.
As to the arbitrariness of BMI interpretation, okay. That's true. It wasn't based on the most rigorous of data analysis. Even so: how we interpret BMI has changed, but how we measure BMI has not. Say there's a guy with a BMI of 26 in 1985. You put him in a DeLorean DMC-12, tell him to hit 88 MPH until he catapults into the year 2014, and then recalculate his BMI. It's still going to be 26. The rate of people with high BMIs indicative of overweight/obesity/whatever you want to call it has not remained static. Unless you're positing that corporate interests corrupt the calculation of BMI, bodyweight has increased. The data is clear (PDF [26]). Value judgments about those BMIs are another thing entirely, but that doesn't negate the fact of the matter: people are getting larger.
Besides, BMI isn't the only way to measure obesity. It's not even a particularly effective way. If we look at every other measurement of obesity available, it's increasing. Waist circumference (an arguably better marker than BMI [27] for predicting heart disease mortality) has been going up [28]. Abdominal obesity – the most dangerous kind (or the kind that's most strongly associated with poor health outcomes, if you're Paul Campos) – is increasing [29] and has tripled since the 1960s [30]. And although this is anecdotal and thus inadmissible in the court of Science Based Medicine, just taking a look around next time you're out at a mall or an amusement park will tell you that obesity remains an issue.
And the common co-morbidities of obesity and overweight have been increasing in incidence [31], too. Non-alcoholic fatty liver (even in teens [32]), type 2 diabetes [33], obstructive sleep apnea (which is strongly correlated with body fat percentage [34], especially abdominal body fat), most cancers [35], and many other conditions associated with obesity are all rising.
So there you go. People are getting bigger. They're gaining belly fat. Common obesity co-morbidities are skyrocketing; even if people are living longer, they're feeling worse [36]. Maybe those morbidities are just associated with obesity, not caused or exacerbated by it. That's fine. Call it what you want, as long as you acknowledge that a problem exists.
Because in the end, losing excess body fat [37] just works. Whether it's the inherent healthiness of the steps you take to lose the weight, the normalization of leptin, resistin, and adiponectin levels and the reduction in fat-derived inflammatory cytokines that comes from shedding excess body fat, or both, you're healthier. And a bit leaner.
Let's imagine for a moment that the excessive accumulation of adipose tissue (obesity) is completely innocuous. Maybe obesity and its related maladies merely have common causes, like inactivity [38] or a bad diet [39], and don't interact with each other at all. Maybe body fat is the body's way of dealing with the true offender and obesity is just a reliable indicator of poor health, diet, and exercise habits (I suspect this is partially the case). Assuming all that is true, what changes? What are you doing differently to improve your health? You're losing body fat. If getting rid of the obesity (through changing your diet and modifying your activity patterns [40] and getting better sleep [41] and reducing stress [42]) makes you healthier, the primary cause doesn't matter. Only results do. You don't ignore the smoke alarm just because it's not the cause of the fire.
That's my take on the situation, folks. What about you? Let's hear yours in the comment section.

Londonderry police not amused by April Fool's Day joke
LONDONDERRY -; Police aren';t laughing at an April Fool';s Day prank they say a Londonderry woman played on her elderly father.
Shortly after 1 p.m. on April 1, police received a phone call from a distraught local man who told them his daughter had just called him from inside the Garden Lane Market Basket store and told him that "a man with a gun had just come in."
"He was in an absolute panic," Detective Christopher Olson said Thursday. "He was so shaken up he could hardly speak."
Dispatchers immediately sent an entire shift of police officers to the store, but upon their arrival it became clear that something was amiss.
"The managers told us they had no idea what we were talking about," Olson said.
Management later told police that no "suspicious men" had entered the store, to their knowledge.
In the meantime, the caller, who police did not identify, contacted police to tell them his daughter "had played an April Fool';s Day joke on him."
"We';re not even sure if she went to Market Basket that day," Olson said.
Attempts to contact the daughter, whom Olson described as a Londonderry resident in her early 40s, have so far been unsuccessful, but police are taking this April Fool';s Day prank very seriously.
However, police aren';t releasing the alleged prankster';s name until they hear her side of the story.
"We definitely want to talk to this woman," he said. "She may be facing some charges once we determine what actually happened here."

TV Ratings: 'Private Practice' Hits Series Low, 'Mindy Project' Rises
"The Voice" rebounds, pushing NBC to a sixth straight Tuesday win among adults 18-49.
NBC won its sixth straight Tuesday among the key adults 18-49 demographic, with The Voice rebounding from last week's comparable telecast.
The Voice (11 million total viewers, 3.8 rating in adults 18-49) was up 27 percent from last Thursday's season-low elimination episode, when it aired on a special night during election week. The Voice won its 8 p.m. hour in the demo, easily topping time slot competitors NCIS and Dancing With the Stars.
The singing competition show's uptick didn't boost Matthew Perry's Go On (6.3 million, 2.3), down 4 percent; however, The New Normal (4.8 million, 1.8) improved 6 percent from its last original three weeks ago. Parenthood (4.7 million, 1.8) slipped 5 percent, but topped the 10 p.m. period.
PHOTOS: Tim Goodman Gives the Odds on Which Fall Shows Will Survive
Fox's comedy block returned, with freshman series The Mindy Project (3.2 million, 1.7) jumping 13 percent among aduts 18-49 and 25 percent in the younger adults 18-34 set. In fact, Mindy Project was the only Fox series to see an increase. Raising Hope (3.8 million, 1.6), Ben and Kate (2.5 million, 1.1) and New Girl (4.3 million, 2.2) were all down, with rookie Ben and Kate seeing the steepest drop at 21 percent.
ABC's Dancing With the Stars results show (11.9 million, 1.9) rose 6 percent, while Happy Endings (4.8 million, 1.4) was steady and Don't Trust the B---- in Apt. 23 (3.2 million, 1.1) dropped 8 percent for a new low. In its final episodes, Private Practice (3.7 million, 1.1) saw a similar drop to Ben and Kate with a 21-percent downturn for a series low.
CBS' NCIS (16.9 million, 3.0) placed second at 8 p.m. behind The Voice, but was the most-watched program on broadcast in primetime. NCIS: LA (15.7 million, 2.8) continued to be a reliable lead-out, topping its 9 p.m. time slot in both viewers and 18-49. Vegas (10.4 million, 1.6) placed second behind Parenthood at 10 p.m.
PHOTOS: Broadcast TV's Returning Shows for 2012-13 Season
The CW's Hart of Dixie (1.7 million, 0.7) returned with its most-watched episode since December 2011, along with a rising Emily Owens, M.D. (1.4 million, 0.4), the latter of which is the network's remaining new fall show awaiting a full-season pickup.
CBS topped primetime viewership with a 14.3 million average, followed by NBC (7.1 million), ABC (6.5 million), Fox (3.5 million) and the CW (1.6 million).
NBC narrowly won the evening among adults 18-49 with a 2.6 average, followed by CBS (2.5), Fox (1.7), ABC (1.4) and The CW (0.5).

Democracy in America (Hardcover)
Democracy in America has had the singular honor of being even to this day the work that polit?ical commentators of every stripe refer to when they seek to draw large conclusions about the soci?ety of the United States. Alexis de Tocqueville, a young French aristocrat, came to the young nation to investigate the functioning of American democracy and the social, political, and economic life of its citizens, publishing his observations in 1835 and 1840. Brilliantly written and vividly illustrated with vignettes and portraits, Democracy in America is far more than a trenchant analysis of one soci?ety at a particular point in time. What will most intrigue modern readers is how many of Tocqueville's observations still hold true: on the mixed advantages of a free press, the strained relations among the races, and the threats posed to democracies by consumerism and corruption.
So uncanny is Tocqueville's insight and so accurate are his predictions, that it seems as though he were not merely describing the American identity but actually helping to create it.

Hey team! Darrin Rose from VideoOnTrial here. Eddie Della Siepe and I just finished another date on our Jury Duty stand-up tour. This time in exotic London!
Well, London, Ontario… which thinks of itself as a Canadian version of the one in England. They have a Thames river and a Covent Garden market. The city has a bit of an identity crisis, like how Lil Wayne decided to put out a rock album. Maybe London can get a tattoo on its eyelids – Not / England.
Edmondo (he likes to be called that) and I took a tour of the campus of University of Western Ontario – great party school. I don't know anything about the coursework there, but the girls-in-short-skirts-work seems worth the tuition to me.
We also had hot weather for the first time on our tour. But after 45 minutes in the sun, I turned redder than Billy Bob Thorton's face after he realized what a doucheburger he was in that CBC interview. But it did let me tell my favourite white people lie – "Oh, this red burn will settle into a nice shade of brown." As I write this, it's cracking and peeling. Underneath? Even whiter. Dammit.
Check out our next show in Barrie! Also, friend us up on Facebook (Darrin, Eddie, and write songs about us, if you want.

Silty is absolutely correct. And all of this palaver over whether or not second hand smoking is harmful to health is totally irrelevant. Smoking stinks, is obnoxious and is offensive to most people.
There is no proof that playing the trombone has a bad effect on the health of others either but if I wish to play a trombone in a public place, offices, theatres, shopping centres, airliners, etc I will certainly be prevented from doing so. It's offensive to those around me. That's it.

Scientific Evidence Shows Secondhand Smoke Is No Danger
Written By: Jerome Arnett, Jr., M.D.
Published In: Environment & Climate News
Publication Date: July 1, 2008
Publisher: The Heartland Institute
Exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS) is an unpleasant experience for many nonsmokers, and for decades was considered a nuisance. But the idea that it might actually cause disease in nonsmokers has been around only since the 1970s.
Recent surveys show more than 80 percent of Americans now believe secondhand smoke is harmful to nonsmokers.
Federal Government Reports
A 1972 U.S. surgeon general's report first addressed passive smoking as a possible threat to nonsmokers and called for an anti-smoking movement. The issue was addressed again in surgeon generals' reports in 1979, 1982, and 1984.
A 1986 surgeon general's report concluded involuntary smoking caused lung cancer, but it offered only weak epidemiological evidence to support the claim. In 1989 the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was charged with further evaluating the evidence for health effects of SHS.
In 1992 EPA published its report, "Respiratory Health Effects of Passive Smoking," claiming SHS is a serious public health problem, that it kills approximately 3,000 nonsmoking Americans each year from lung cancer, and that it is a Group A carcinogen (like benzene, asbestos, and radon).
The report has been used by the tobacco-control movement and government agencies, including public health departments, to justify the imposition of thousands of indoor smoking bans in public places.
Flawed Assumptions
EPA's 1992 conclusions are not supported by reliable scientific evidence. The report has been largely discredited and, in 1998, was legally vacated by a federal judge.
Even so, the EPA report was cited in the surgeon general's 2006 report on SHS, where then-Surgeon General Richard Carmona made the absurd claim that there is no risk-free level of exposure to SHS.
For its 1992 report, EPA arbitrarily chose to equate SHS with mainstream (or firsthand) smoke. One of the agency's stated assumptions was that because there is an association between active smoking and lung cancer, there also must be a similar association between SHS and lung cancer.
But the problem posed by SHS is entirely different from that found with mainstream smoke. A well-recognized toxicological principle states, "The dose makes the poison."
Accordingly, we physicians record direct exposure to cigarette smoke by smokers in the medical record as "pack-years smoked" (packs smoked per day times the number of years smoked). A smoking history of around 10 pack-years alerts the physician to search for cigarette-caused illness. But even those nonsmokers with the greatest exposure to SHS probably inhale the equivalent of only a small fraction (around 0.03) of one cigarette per day, which is equivalent to smoking around 10 cigarettes per year.
Low Statistical Association
Another major problem is that the epidemiological studies on which the EPA report is based are statistical studies that can show only correlation and cannot prove causation.
One statistical method used to compare the rates of a disease in two populations is relative risk (RR). It is the rate of disease found in the exposed population divided by the rate found in the unexposed population. An RR of 1.0 represents zero increased risk. Because confounding and other factors can obscure a weak association, in order even to suggest causation a very strong association must be found, on the order of at least 300 percent to 400 percent, which is an RR of 3.0 to 4.0.
For example, the studies linking direct cigarette smoking with lung cancer found an incidence in smokers of 20 to around 40 times that in nonsmokers, an association of 2000 percent to 4000 percent, or an RR of 20.0 to 40.0.
If u wana smoke, smoke but harleyrider1978, if you want lung cancer please leave the room. Because i dont, explained or not-explained.
In my opinion, cigarette ban is one of the scenarios that the Iraqi government needs to implement. However, this should not be their priority. They have so many agendas to fix and yet this is only a trivial one.
Just for the record, the article cited by harley rider is "The Case Against Smoking Bans," c. L. Stewart, and the excerpt he quotes is from "The Air According to OSHA." It's not part of Littlewood & Fennell's paper ("Toxic Toxicology") though it includes w/i it a knock-out chart from L & F's research that anyone interested in the alleged perils of secondhand smoke ought to read.
The link to "The Case Against" is http://www.nycclash.com/CaseAgainstBans/Introduction.html
and the whole is worth a look.
I would have thought that my reference to objecting to trombones' being played in a theatre clearly implied those other than the ones forming part of the entertainment. I did say, "if I wish to play a trombone...". I can't play any musical instrument and, I guarantee, it would be offensive. And, in most public places, for instance public buildings, shopping centres, etc, one is not always free to leave if the service one requires is found only there. And, in most of the world, if not all, smokers are in the minority.
And stopping Christmas carols and bands does sound like a good idea.
they probably used teh model ban that has been used by many communities. No need to waste a lot of time. "Smoking Ban for Dummies"
Just click "print" then fill in the blanks naming your community and administrators names, and pass it. Bingo, an instant law. You don't even need to read all the legal mumbo jumbo. Simple, even for the most mentally challenged. This model ban can be customized to your location depending on how wide your local sidewalks are.
It's on page eight of the tobacco control handbook:
Smoking kills, it's a toxic habit, the whole of Iraq is becoming a market for lethal cigarettes, a terrible and nasty trade that must be tackled. Health and Safety in conflict areas may not be seen as important. But How many Iraqi related smoking death is reported? Never been reported. Lack of safety kills and kills all age groups. A number of smokers hang around you during the day. At home, at work, in a restaurant, in a workplace… they're everywhere! ban it and good luck to Iraqis.

pruning milkweed?
I've got a few milkweed plants that are very leggy...some kind of orange Asclepias, I think. I can't find any photos of an entire plant, so I don't know if this is normal. Should I cut them back at all? If so, is this the right time of year to do that?
They're still flowering, though I've yet to see a monarch on them. Right now they're covered with some exotic looking orange aphids and one lone ladybug.
First of all, those 'exotic' aphids are not exotic at all. :P They are Oleander Aphids and are most fond of Asclepias. Check out my Monarch blog for more info (link below).
I prune my Milkweed all the time. No worries on the pruning, as long as you don't have any Monarchs ovipositing!
BTW: As far as the !@#$% aphids are concerned: I blast 'em off with water.
Here is a link that might be useful: tdogmom's Monarch blog
If the aphids are orange and black they are milk weed bugs and really only attack the seed pods and seeds. This can be good or bad thing depending on how many milkweeds you want. Mine usually disapear after a while.
As far as pruning, I'd wait anout 6 weeks, IMO.
Good luck, MP

Men's Mexico Trip
Men, our ministry partners in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico are in critical need of assistance to help them recover from the damage caused by Hurricane Odile. In February you'll have an opportunity to answer the call when FBCG sponsors a Men's mission trip to the region.
Over the past several years, FBCG has sent numerous mission teams to Cabo San Lucas to support the work of Pastor Luis Benavidos Varela and Pastor Ramon Noriega in spreading the Gospel among unreached and impoverished families in the region.
In September, Hurricane Odile caused massive destruction in the area, and there is a tremendous amount of work to be done to help the pastors and those they serve rebuild. In addition to the funds FBCG has contributed to relief efforts from the recent special offering that was taken, our Serve the World Team is planning a Men's Mission Trip to Cabo.
Trip Dates: February 7 – 14, 2015

|Notable students
|Keith R. Jennings
Peter Jaffrey Wheatley
Graham Dixon-Lewis
John Wilfrid Linnett FRS[1] (3 August 1913 — 7 November 1975) was Vice-Chancellor at the University of Cambridge from 1973 to 1975. He was for many years a Fellow of the Queen's College, Oxford, and a demonstrator in Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Oxford.
He was born on 3 August 1913 in Coventry in England and educated at King Henry VIII School and St Johns College, University of Oxford, and was later a Junior Fellow there. He was appointed Professor of Physical Chemistry at Cambridge University in 1965. He was Master of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, on the Council of the Royal Society, and was President of the Faraday Society. He died of a heart attack in the Athenaeum Club, London, on 7 November 1975, only five weeks after ceasing to be Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge.
Throughout his career as a chemist, he was noted for his wide interests, making substantial contributions in theoretical chemistry, mass spectrometry, explosion limits, atom recombination reactions, combustion, and several other areas.
In 1960, Linnett originated a modification to the octet rule, originally proposed by G.N. Lewis, concerning valency electrons. He proposed that the octet should be considered as a double quartet of electrons rather than as four pairs, and in this way he was able to explain the stability of 'odd electron' molecules such as nitric oxide and oxygen. This theory was set out in a book "The Electronic Structure of Molecules: A New Approach", published by Methuen & Co Ltd, London, 1964. His general book "Wave Mechanics and Valency" also published by Methuen & Co Ltd, London, appeared in 1960.
The John Wilfrid Linnett Visiting Professor of Chemistry was established in his memory in 1993 at the University of Cambridge.

Latest Bipolar nebula Stories
Planetary nebulae occur in the final stages of a star's life when its outer layers begin to stretch out into the surrounding space. These nebulae can create beautiful objects in the night sky, with some stretching out into an hourglass or butterfly shape.
The Hubble Space Telescope has "caught" the Boomerang Nebula in these new images taken with the Advanced Camera for Surveys. This reflecting cloud of dust and gas has two nearly symmetric lobes (or cones) of matter that are being ejected from a central star.
Latest Bipolar nebula Reference Libraries
Planetary Nebula -- A planetary nebula is an astronomical object that usually appears nebulous and disk-like in low-resolution observations. Because of this appearance, similar to the appearance of planets in early observations, the "planetary" adjective was attached and has since been retained for historical consistency. According to current observations and models, planetary nebulae in fact have little to do with planets. Instead, as a small star (less than a few times the mass...

Yet another effort is being made to remove the new Greenlands flyover and old Begumpet Rail over Bridge (RoB) merger point, the cause of many fatal accidents.
GHMC has managed to find a technical firm, Pragati Consultants, to study the work, come out with fresh designs for submission to the South Central Railway (SCR) for approvals to remove the small erstwhile footpath causing danger to motorists besides being a bottleneck, senior officials said.
SCR's contention has been that removal of the footpath would weaken the very RoB itself and are amenable to change their mind only if the designs are approved by their own engineers as well as IIT professors.
The method was followed when the new flyover work was taken up as the municipal corporation itself then took up structure work atop the rail tracks which is usually the railways' domain.
Noted consultant Mahesh Tandon, initially nominated to prepare designs for removing the footpath in the median, was eased out of the work following a few construction mishaps on Delhi Metro as well as critical remarks he had attracted following the Punjagutta flyover incident. Pragati was chosen after three earlier tenders elicited no response, said senior officials.
Safety features
In between, following a public outcry over several fatal accidents due to the footpath being in the middle, GHMC had put up a few safety features a year ago. These included rumble strips (speed breakers) with solar studs, chevron markings, and collapsible vertical poles with radium stickers, solar reflective raised object markers, cautionary sign boards and blinkers . But, most of them seem to have worn out now.

Nyack College Arts and Sciences News
Dr. Charles Awasu publishes Sociology paper
Dr. Charles Awasu, Chair of the Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice, published a paper in the African Journal of Education and Technology, Volume 1 Number 3 (2011).
Dr. Awasu's paper, "Prevailing Against the Odds of Dropping Out of Schools in Ghana," was co-written with Dr. Cynthia Akorfa Sottie, Lecturer of Social Work at the University of Ghana.
This paper examines factors that affect school dropout at the basic level of education in Ghana. The study focuses on the experiences of students, parents, teachers and welfare workers. Weak family support, poor academic performance, poor school quality and low value of education, is identified as important to children's stay in school. It is observed that some children prevail against the odds and remain in school while others drop out. Resilience is identified as an important factor that could enhance the capacity of at-risk student to stay in school despite adverse circumstances. The study recommends research on the underlying processes that foster personal resilience in school age children from disadvantaged backgrounds in Ghana.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Islanders Improving
by Paul on 04/21/07 at 10:31 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Mark Herrmann of Newsday,
They have taken on the personality of Nolan, who has been preaching all year about his goal for the franchise: "Change the culture."
"I think that the past couple of years," goalie Rick DiPietro said, "we've been known as a team that wasn't able to bounce back so well from adversity. I think we've done a great job of that this year. But the end result is the same: We're out in the first round and I don't think anybody is happy with that."
Hurting is a good sign. The Islanders were in position to be one of those just-happy-to-be-here eighth seeds. Instead, they left thinking they should have done much more. That's a change in the culture.

ESP Origins by Ludovic Mignon and Marchand de Trucs - Trick
In stock: usually ships within 24 hours!
The ESP Origins deck is based on the ESP cards designed by Karl Zener and made popular by Joseph Banks in the early 20th century. Your spectators will have no doubts about their authenticity. The back was designed by Sam Hayles, a world renowned graphic artist who specialises in playing card designs. The marking on the backs of the cards is efficient and effective. You can read it easily, but your spectators will not even suspect the cards are marked, much less be able to see the marks. In addition to the ESP cards, the deck includes all of the cards needed to perform the 10 routines described in the booklet, along with several bonus cards that you can put to use in your own mentalism routines.
A number of leading mentalism performers have worked with us on this project. The 48-page booklet includes 10 routines, with illustrations by Tony Dunn and superb graphics and design work by Benoît Drager.
The package also includes an additional thin case that can hold 25 to 30 cards, allowing you to perform your routines as originally intended.

ESP OROGINS REVIEW Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 27th, 2013
There are a few esp decks avaialble but this deck is by far the easiest to read. Cleverly marked deck with tons of gaffed cards to perform numerous mind reading effects.
It comes with an illustrated booklet of instructions, with trick contributions from famous magicians.
You also get an extra deck box to hold the all gaffs. There are 55 cards in total: you get number cards, blank cards,red backed cards, double facers, etc.
The card size and quality is par with bicycle cards. If you do any type of esp card effects than this is a MUST have deck.

This is the easiest to read marked ESP deck I've found. I use it for Michael Murray's Jazz Mentalism routine (in The Door booklet).
The cards are attractive, as well. (My "magic wife" said, "Oh, those are nice!")
The deck includes a lot of extras for various routines, plus a smaller box for carrying the usual 25-card set.
Highly recommended.
BEST ON THE MARKET! Report this review

I own several ESP decks and this one is without a doubt the best one available. The cards are very high quality and feel just like bicycles. The effects included in the book are very strong and fun to perform. I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in learning about ESP card magic.

As far as I am aware, these are the best ESP cards on the market. The design on them (all-seeing eye) is the original reason I was interested in buying them. They look very mystical with that design. I always hand these out to spectators for inspection and ever nobody finds any markings. The quality is very, very good. I do not riffle shuffle these or do anything that bends the cards much because they are so nice. The instruction booklet that comes with it has many colorful diagrams with instructions from top names in mentalism. If you are not looking for anything fancy, then the Royal brand of ESP cards might be better for you to save money.

Variety reports:
Superman needs some ideas for what his next adventure might be.
"Superman Returns" scribes Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris have opted not to come back and pen a sequel to the 2006 summer pic that would have reunited them with helmer Bryan Singer. The three also worked together on "X2: X-Men United."
As a result, WB is now taking pitches for Supe's next outing from other scribes — just as the studio is trying to figure out which actor will don the character's tights in "Justice League." . . .
Harris, who had previously helmed "Imaginary Heroes," is writing and directing "I, Lucifer," based on the book, with Daniel Craig attached to star.
Say what? Daniel Craig, who (if the films stay true to the books) will lead a rebellion against God in the His Dark Materials trilogy, is also going to play the original rebel against God? Seems so — though this news has apparently been kicking around for at least a year and a half, which leads me to wonder both why I have never mentioned it here before, and how close this project is to getting out of "development hell". (Um, no pun intended. Honestly.)
