Choo looks to continue success against Peavy
Owns second-highest average vs. Sox righty; Ross starts for Rangers
BOSTON -- Every hitter has his favorite pitchers. Jake Peavy should be on the list for outfielder Shin-Soo Choo, and they will face off again when the Rangers face the Red Sox on Wednesday at Fenway Park.
Choo has had some success of Peavy in the past, with nine hits in 21 at-bats for a .429 average. That's tied for the second highest for any hitter with at least 20 plate appearances against Peavy. It is also Choo's fourth-highest average against any pitcher with at least 20 plate appearances. He also has two home runs off Peavy, one of seven pitchers he has that many against in his career.
"I've known him and faced him a lot the last three or four years, so maybe that makes me a little more comfortable," Choo said. "But he's still a pretty good pitcher."
Peavy will be making his fifth career start against the Rangers, and is 0-2 with a 7.59 ERA. That's his highest against any Major League team. The Rangers are one of four teams he has never beaten. Peavy is winless in six starts against the Angels and five starts against the Yankees. He has never pitched against the Padres.
Peavy made his first start of the season against the Brewers in the home opener on Friday. He allowed two runs in six innings and took a no decision in the Red Sox's 6-2 loss. He has 132 career victories, tied with Josh Beckett for 10th-most by an active pitcher.
"I'm excited to pitch and build off some of the positives of the first start," Peavy said. "Obviously you go out to give our team a chance to win. I think we all know I expect more out of myself and want to pitch deeper in the ballgame. I want to give up less than two runs. That's just the way it is. I think we've done some good work in between to where I do have a little bit better feel and it's nice to kind of acclimate yourself to this weather and hold on to the ball."
Peavy will be opposed by left-hander Robbie Ross, who is making his second start after spending the past two years in the Rangers' bullpen. Ross allowed three runs, two earned, in five innings against the Phillies last Wednesday. He has a 2.70 ERA in five career relief appearances against the Red Sox. No current Red Sox player has more than two at-bats against Ross.
Red Sox: Still no leading man
The Red Sox still haven't settled on a permanent leadoff man to replace Jacoby Ellsbury, and manager John Farrell isn't necessarily in a rush to do so. In the meantime, Daniel Nava will continue to get most of the starts in the top spot against right-handers and Jonny Gomes will bat there against lefties, at least until Shane Victorino returns from the disabled list. Grady Sizemore might also see some more time at the top spot as he continues his comeback.
"The one thing we prioritize is on-base, and yet we're still trying to generate that," Farrell said. "We're going to be in a situation where we mix and match as best we can, evident by the guys that are currently available. We're going to see Jonny and Daniel in that spot. There might be a time or two when we put Grady [Sizemore] in the leadoff spot.
"We don't have that prototypical guy right now. I like Dustin [Pedroia] in the 2-hole. It creates the middle-of-the-order continuity for the rest of the guys that are there. We're looking to take advantage of the strengths that our current roster has to offer."
Rangers: Lewis expected back Saturday
The Rangers rotation will continue to evolve through April. Colby Lewis is expected to start Saturday, while Joe Saunders and Matt Harrison should come off the disabled list later this month. Derek Holland is on a throwing program in Arizona with the hope of returning in June.
"We've got to stay afloat until we get our staff back," manager Ron Washington said. "We have to go out and find a way to compete with some young pitchers who could be starters in the future. They're doing good and it will get better."
Worth noting:
• Alex Rios and Elvis Andrus have hit safely in eight straight games for the Rangers. Rios hit in ten straight to start the season last year.
• The Red Sox will probably have left-hander Craig Breslow in their bullpen for Wednesday's game. Breslow opened the season on the disabled list with a strained left shoulder but threw a scoreless inning for Triple A Pawtucket against Syracuse on Monday night. He is scoreless in three rehab appearances.
• The Red Sox and the Rangers seemed to have shared quite a few catchers over the years. The latest is A.J. Pierzynski, who was the Rangers' starting catcher in 2013 and is now with the Red Sox. Last year former Rangers catcher Jarrod Saltlamacchia was the Red Sox No. 1. They also have Mike Napoli, who caught for the Rangers in 2011-12 but has played first base for the Red Sox. Among the catchers who have played for both teams include Doug Mirabelli, John Marzano, Jim Leyritz, Marcus Jensen, Ken Huckabay, Bill Haselman and Kevin Brown.

Notes: An open reading frame encoding a putative DNA polymerase, SpPol4, was amplified from S. pombe genomic DNA by PCR. The resulting PCR product was cloned into the pGEM®-T Easy Vector, and the sequence was verified. Based on sequence analysis, the authors hypothesize that SpPol4 has deoxyribose phosphate (dRP) lyase activity, suggesting that the enzyme plays a role in base excision repair. The authors perform a dRP lyase activity assay with an oligonucleotide substrate labeled using [32P]ddATP and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase. (3465)

Notes: ImProm-II™ Reverse Transcriptase was used in real time RT-PCR to measure the ratio of Bax to Bcl-2 in immortalized rat proximal tubular cells (IRPTCs) cultured under normoxic or hypoxic conditions. The researchers used 1μg of total RNA in the reverse transcription reaction. Qiagen's QuantiTest CYBR Green PCT Kit was used to quantify PCR products. Promega's terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) was also used for TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assays on the cells. The TUNEL-stained cells were analyzed by FACS analysis. Data from these experiments was expressed as percent apoptotic cells. (2849)

Notes: Terminal Deoxynucleotidyl Transferase was used to biotin end-label PCR products generated from adaptor-ligated genomic DNA fragment templates. The labeled probes were then hybridized to microarrays spotted with SNP alleles. The Terminal Deoxynucleotidyl Transferase reaction was performed for 4 hours at 37°C using 15-20 units TdT, TdT reaction buffer and 18μM biotin-ddATP. (2758)

Notes: The DeadEnd™ Colorimetric Apoptosis Detection System was used to detect apoptosis in transfected Neuro 2a cells. The cells were transfected with truncated androgen receptors that aggregate in either the nuclei or the cytoplasm. The cells with nuclear aggregates were apoptotic and those with cytoplasmic aggregates were mostly nonapoptotic. The location of the aggregates was determined with GFP fusions. The basic protocol of the DeadEnd™ Colorimetric Apoptosis Detection System was modified to use streptavidin-Texas Red® for fluorometric detection rather than colorimetric detection. Good detail is provided for the modifications. Neuro 2a cells expressing the aggregating AR mutations as well as various chaperonins were analyzed for cell viability at 24, 48 and 72 hours with the CellTiter 96® AQueous One Solution (MTS/PES). The name of the DeadEnd™ Colorimetric Apoptosis Detection System has been changed to DeadEnd™ Colorimetric TUNEL System. (0913)

In 2014 the Museum commemorate the 100th anniversary of the death of Ödön Lechner (1845–1914), one of the greatest Hungarian architects and one of the original geniuses of the European architectural scene at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. To mark this anniversary, the Institute of Art History of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and the Museum of Applied Arts in Budapest are jointly organizing an international conference and an exhibition.
This exhibition presents the whole scope of the work of the architect Ödön Lechner. Special attention is paid to five major works, nominated for UNESCO World Heritage Site status: the Kecskemét City Hall, the parish church of Budapest-Kőbánya, the Museum of Applied Arts, the Institute of Geology, and the Postal Savings Bank. Visitors can familiarise themselves with these through the architect's original plans and drawings, as well as period and modern photographs. Working drawings of the ornaments so crucial to Lechner's work, the publications which inspired him, and examples of the Zsolnay ceramic in which they were realized are also presented. One of the rooms evokes the world of the Japan Coffee House, Lechner's second home, another acommodates a panoramic movie of his major works.
For the first time in its history, the MFA will exhibit a painting by Gustav Klimt—among the most important artists of the early 20th century.
Adam and Eve (1917–18) will be on loan from the Belvedere Museum in Vienna as part of the MFA's Visiting Masterpiece series, giving visitors a taste of the artist's signature style, including his sensuous approach to the nude, his bold experiments with pattern, color, and finish, and his exploration of human consciousness and desire. The work will be juxtaposed with the MFA's life-sized study of a nude couple, Two Nudes (Lovers) (1913), painted by Klimt's Viennese friend and colleague, Oskar Kokoschka. No more than five years separate the two paintings, which share many features—ambitious scale, daring experiments with form and finish, and, above all, a fascination with sexuality. Each is, in its own way, a product of Freud's Vienna, but also of a singular artist with a singular vision.
Organised by the Réseau Art Nouveau Network in the framework of the European project "Art Nouveau & Ecology" (2010-2015) supported by the Culture 2007-2013 programme of the European Commission, the exhibition comprises two identical concurrent exhibitions and has begun its journey to all partner cities in October 2013.
After Barcelona, the exhibition The Nature of Art Nouveau 1 will be presented in Ljubljana at the Narodni Muzej Slovenije, fifth step of its European journey, from 20 January until 19 April 2015.
This exhibition is free and bilingual Slovene-English.
L'exposition Trésors d'architecture, la première du genre à être présentée au CIVA et organisée par les Archives d'Architecture Moderne (AAM), propose un parcours initiatique et didactique de l'Art Nouveau à l'Expo 58.
Parmi les « trésors » de cette installation, le grand public ira à la découverte de pièces rares de même que de nombreuses pièces inédites (des plans que l'on croyait disparus de Horta, des projets inconnus de van de Velde, une impressionnante série de châteaux d'eau, …).
Oscar Wilde (1854–1900) was an Irish writer and poet who became one of London's most popular playwrights in the early 1890s. Wilde's retelling of the beheading of John the Baptist became the controversial play, Salomé, and was banned on the London stage in 1893. Illustrators have been attracted to its rhythmic prose and subject matter ever since. Oscar Wilde's Salomé: Illustrating Death and Desire presents the complete sets of the first and the most recent illustrations inspired by tragedy, including lithographs by symbolist artis Aubrey Vincent Beardsley (1872–1898) and engravings by Barry Moser (b. 1940). Books and periodicals featuring illustrations by Louis Jou, André Derain, and Valenti Angelo, among others, will also be on view.
In 1905 Elizabeth Owens Morse, the daughter of Charles Hosmer Morse and Martha Owens Morse, married Richard Genius. The gift registry of this socially prominent Chicago bride—entitled "The Bride Elect"—survives in the Morse Museum's archive, showing more than 250 gifts. Together these items provide a snapshot of the era, a glimpse into 1905 gift-giving traditions, and some insight into popular retail decisions made by wealthy consumers in the Chicago area. In this new exhibition, the Morse presents a representative group of the lovely gifts that survive from the Morse-Genius wedding, including Tiffany art glass, Rookwood pottery, and Gorham silver.
In this exhibit, the Museum debuts a selection from Harry C. Sigman's 2014 gift of 86 objects to the Morse. Sigman, a Los Angeles attorney, began collecting European and American decorative art in 1969, and his gift dovetails with the late 19th- and early 20th-century styles represented in the Morse collection. The donation includes art glass, pottery, metalwork, and furniture. Though comprised mainly of Jeannette and Hugh McKean's massive gift, the Morse collection has always been supported by generous individuals such as Harry Sigman whose contributions have helped it to grow in important ways. The finely crafted objects on view can be appreciated both individually and in the context of the Museum's entire collection.
La Pinacothèque consacre une exposition à Gustav Klimt du 12 février au 21 juin 2015. Grand représentant de l'Art nouveau à Vienne, Klimt est l'un des pères de la Sécession viennoise : la Pinacothèque revient sur sa carrière en 180 œuvres !
L'exposition Au temps de Klimt, la Sécession à Vienne revient sur le développement de l'art viennois de la fin du XIXe siècle : un renouveau s'opère alors dans les arts à Vienne, grâce à l'Union des Artistes Figuratifs qui veulent offrir à "l'art autrichien une reconnaissance internationale à laquelle il aspire".
L'émancipation artistique de Klimt se fait en 1898, avec le célèbre tableau "Pallas Athenee", utilisé comme affiche pour la première exposition de la Sécession la même année. Gustav Klimt sera critiqué pour son œuvre jugée érotique, à cause de l'utilisation de formes phalliques dans la représentation de femmes fatales.
Si l'exposition se concentre sur l'oeuvre de Klimt, elle présente aussi les travaux qui ont inspiré son œuvre, ceux de Max Kurzwell, Théodor Hörmann ou bien Carl Schuch, ainsi que les grands chefs d'oeuvre de la Sécession et de l'avant-garde autrichienne.
The Pinacothèque de Paris, in partnership with Arthemisia Group and 24 ORE Cultura, wishes to examine once again an essential aspect of Art Nouveau, which was developed in Vienna at the start of the 20th century under the name Secession. Gustav Klimt's part in the emerging of that movement is a major one. The artist's talent and brio, from his precocious start to his excessive decorative effects, where gildings and the emerging expressionism are dominant, are the foundations of a new period, which flowered in Vienna at the turn of the century. That artistic movement is, in fact, at the origin of the birth, a few years later, of one of the major currents in modern art, Expressionism, which was the theme of an exhibition in the museum in 2011.
The exhibition shows over 180 works taken from the collections of the Belvedere museum in Vienna, as well as from private collections. The curatorship of the exhibition is ensured by Alfred Weidinger, curator of the Belvedere museum in Vienna.
En raison de travaux de restauration portant sur les façades et d'une actualisation de la scénographie, l'ouverture au public sera réduite dès le lundi 16 février 2015 et jusqu'à la fin de l'année. Durant cette période seuls seront possibles des événements ponctuels et visites sur rendez-vous, en fonction du calendrier du chantier.
Depuis dix ans, la Maison Autrique est ouverte au public grâce à la détermination conjointe de plusieurs amis et à l'intervention de la Commune de Schaerbeek qui s'est portée acquéreur du bien. François Schuiten et Benoît Peeters sont à l'origine du projet de réhabilitation de cette œuvre de jeunesse du célèbre Victor Horta. Ils en ont fait une « maison des maisons», une habitation poétique suspendue dans le temps.
Retrospective on the complete works of the artist colony member of the first hour: With Hans Christiansen (1866-1945) is an as versatile as exemplary Jugendstil artists to rediscover, who found his vocation in Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt.
Hans Christiansen is one of the most important representatives of Jugendstil, especially with his drafts in the field of arts and crafts. In Paris where matured into an artist, he was appointed in 1899 by Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig in Darmstadt, where he was among the first seven members of the artists' colony. On the Mathildenhöhe he blossomed and excelled as a genuine work of art enthusiasts in painting, architecture and applied art as well as a designer of lights festivals. For the first time the full range of this versatile artist is presented: The retrospective presents his house on the Mathildenhöhe, room facilities, glass pane, jewellery, posters, paintings, drawings, textile art and ceramics in different spatial ensembles - including previously unknown like his fashion and poster designs from the 1920s.
The major retrospective, the first ever to Hans Christiansen, will be seen in four German institutions. The kick-off will make Mathildenhöhe as the first step, and then will follow the Bröhan Museum in Berlin, the Villa Stuck Museum in Munich and the Museumsberg in Flensburg, where the exhibition tour will end just before the 150th anniversary of the artist in his hometown.
Curators: Dr. Philipp Gutbrod, curator and conservator of the collection, Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt Institute Dr. Michael Fuhr, Director, Museumsberg in Flensburg Dr. Dorothee Bieske, curator and conservator of the collection, Museumsberg in Flensburg
An exhibition of the Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt Institute and of the Museumsberg in Flensburg in collaboration with the Villa Stuck Museum in Munich and the Bröhan Museum in Berlin.
The exhibition will then travel to the Musée Bröhan, Berlin (19 Feburary– 24 May 2015), the Museum Villa Stuck in Munich (18 June – 20 September 2015) and to the Museumsberg Flensburg (11 October – 17 January 2016)
The painting "Wally", housed by the Vienna Leopold Museum, is among the most well-known works by Egon Schiele. The upcoming exhibition at the Leopold Museum seeks to uncover the person behind the portrait, Walburga "Wally" Neuzil (1894-1917), approaching her through artworks, autographs, photographs and documents. Featured in the presentation will be eminent paintings by Schiele, such as "Death and the Maiden", an important loan from the Belvedere, as well as drawings and watercolors by Schiele for which Wally acted as a model. The exhibition comprises works from the Leopold Museum, the Leopold Private Collection as well as loans from Austrian and international collections.
The exhibition examines the stages of Wally's life, her professions, from model to nurse, and tells the tale of a woman's fate in fin-de-siècle Vienna, between self-sacrifice and self-fulfillment, between a life without taboos and profound humanity.
This competition, which participation is free, arises in order to pay homage to the amazing heritage of the Italian Art Nouveau; for instance: houses, palaces, monuments, sculptures and applied arts. The Italian Liberty photographic contest represents a great opportunity to create passion about Beauty and Values promoted by the Liberty association.
In order to participate to the contest take pictures (for a maximum of 30 photos) of some Art Nouveau art pieces or make a video of these (only one video) and send it to Italian Liberty!
Directed by Andrea Speziali and organized by the Aitm Art Organization.
Full presentation of the contest
Based on the impressions gained during her first examination of the museum holdings, the new curator for modern art, Beatrice von Bormann, has devised an exhibition about Expressionism. It features paintings, sculptures, drawings, and graphic prints by about eighty artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The focus is on Austrian and German Expressionism, from the early period before World War I to the Neo‑Expressionism of the 1960s and 1970s, and the Neuen Wilden.
After Aveiro, the exhibition The Nature of Art Nouveau 2 will be presented in Milan at the Exhibition Space of the Palazzo Lombardia, seat of the Regione Lombardia, sixth step of its European journey, from 26 March until 24 April 2015.
This exhibition is free and bilingual Italian-English.

Can someone explain how the DOW is at 14,000 yet the Sky is falling Posted by ThaBigFella on 2/2 at 9:06 am I admit I am an amateur investor, a small business owner, and a fairly knowledgable guy. As far as being a small business owner goes, yes my taxes are higher,my workers are making less,my customers are spending less, and as far as I can see all my bills are rising(car insurance,health insurance,phone,cable, you name it, its up) Can someone please explain to me how the markets are roaring with confidence when it seems to me the average american is making less and less after all bills are paid....for the record this isn't a rant on obama or anything like that. Im just confused on how the stock market is booming like a runaway train back to pre-crash levels when there is so much uncertainty in all aspects of the world....not to mention the more than likely attack on iran coming up soon prob this year with the US deadline of march in place Can someone explain where all the confidence is coming from?

Posted by Bestbank Tiger on 2/2 at 9:17 am to ThaBigFella A couple of possibilities: - The bailout/corporate welfare culture in DC (everyone but teh ebil teabaggers). The biggest corporations know they're operating risk free because they own the politicians, and they'll get bailed out if they get into trouble. - The horrible labor market is good for employers. You can offer lower salaries because there are plenty of desperate people willing to do the job for less. You can easily find good people to work below their pay grade. That's like finding a future Hall of Famer in the fifth round. It's like paying for a Pinto and getting a Cadillac. And that extra productivity goes into the company coffers. Reply Back to Top |

Posted by Poodlebrain on 2/2 at 11:38 am to ThaBigFella The Dow Jones Industrial Average is an index that reflects how the shares of 30 selected companies have traded during a market session. When the average price rises the DJIA rises, and when the average price falls the DJIA falls. So your real question is why is the average price rising when the economy is performing as poorly as it is? My theory is that it is mainly a matter of supply and demand. Every day there is new money to be invested in our securities markets from retirement plan contributions, and some of that money must be invested in equities. The supply of equities, total numbers of shares of new companies and existing companies, is not increasing at the same rate as the demand for equities. Thus the prices of existing equities are increasing to levels that exceed historic price to earnings ratios. This post was edited on 2/2 at 11:42 am Reply Back to Top |
Posted by matthew25 on 2/2 at 12:02 pm to Poodlebrain Correct. Where else are you going to invest your money? Money markets are paying .20. Stocks are up 6 plus percent in January. 8% unemployment is the new norm. When the markets hit 14,000 in 2007, no one worried about the debt. The 30 companies are not affected by the debt.

Posted by Ace Midnight on 2/2 at 2:30 pm to ThaBigFella Because the Stock Market is, at best, only a gross indicator of a particular part of the economy, namely equities. People buy and hold as part of their retirement planning - this creates a floor of demand, regardless of economic conditions. People don't tend to cash completely out of the stock market, even in bear markets - they just get more choosey (or balance with more securities), and therefore, this provides underlying support for equities as well. Just off the top of my head as to why the stock market isn't collapsing, despite poor overall economic news. (Also, energy costs have remained fairly stable, largely due to new technologies and improved fuel efficiency in the modern fleet of automobiles - this is both a drag against inflation, and holds the line on many energy-related business costs.)

With the discount her sales are still lower than they were in 2010. The only reason the market is rising is probably due to the fact that the value of the dollar keeps decreasing. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by Poodlebrain on 2/3 at 10:09 am to Fat Bastard quote:True, but there are retirement plans that have limited investment options like a family of mutual funds. And the mutual funds can't make investments in other than stocks and bonds traded on public exchanges. Think of your typical emopoyer sponsored 401(k) plan.

With about 7,000 inhabitants, Appenzell is the political, economic and cultural center of Appenzell Innerrhoden, the smallest Swiss canton. The car-free village beckons with pretty lanes and a myriad of small stores and boutiques that are ideal for shopping and browsing. The facades of the buildings are decorated with frescoes. Appenzell Museum, which is in the town hall, shows a cross section of Appenzell's history and culture.
A dense network of hiking trails crisscrosses the hilly landscape of Appenzell. The Alpstein region with 2500-meter-high rock formations lends itself to challenging hiking tours and climbing trips. Approximately 200 kilometers of cross-country tracks and three popular ski areas beckon in the winter.
Nowhere else in Switzerland is the transformation from the hilly landscapes of the Swiss mittelland to the rock-dominated Alpine world so full of surprise as in the Alpstein region. Mighty rock formations tower loftily to over 2500 metres in height – seemingly from nowhere.
A cableway operates between Wasserauen and the Ebenalp (1644 m) – the gateway to the hiking region of the Alpstein – and the "Wildkirchli" cave chapel, which appears to claw dramatically to the rock, can be reached on foot in only 15 minutes by walking through an initially gentle landscape and two caverns. But the position of the Aescher hostelry, captured a thousand times on postcards, is even more spectacular, having been built precariously into the rock face.
The Ebenalp is also a paragliding paradise and starting point for the hike up onto the Säntis summit. Mind you, the ascent up onto the Säntis by cableway from Schwägalp is far less strenuous!
Appenzell benefits from a particularly dense network of rambling trails, including 'experience trails' such as the barefoot trail near Gonten, a trail which enables you to experience nature, and the circular chapel trails. Further walking regions in Appenzell: the Kronberg (1663m), which can be reached by cableway from Jakobsbad, and the Hohe Kasten (1795m), whose summit offers magnificent views down into the Rhine valley.
- Säntis – at 2502 metres, the highest summit of the Alpstein massif with superb sweeping views of six countries.
- Village of Appenzell – houses characteristically adorned by murals in the car-free eastern town sector, also many smart shops.
- Liener Museum and "Ziegelhütte" Art Gallery – housed in a modern design by the Zurich-based architects Gigon/Guyer, the museum and art gallery are dedicated to the paintings of Carl Liner senior and junior, as well as contemporary artwork.
- Ebenalp with "Wildkirchli" – the gentle landscape suddenly becomes dramatic; the "Wildkirchli" cave chapel and nearby Aescher hostelry claw to the rock face.
- Hoher Kasten – lookout and hill walking mountain (1795m) served by a cableway from Brülisau. Panoramic views across the Appenzeller landscape and into the Rhine valley, Alpine garden with 192 Alpine species.
Top Events
- Provincial assembly in Appenzell – in keeping with age-old tradition, cantonal votes are cast and decisions reached in the open-air. (April).
- "Ländlerfest" in Appenzell – folk music festival with Appenzell stringed-instrument music (normally two violins, cello, dulcimer and double bass) and folk dancing (August).
- 'Chlaus' market – pre-Christmas Sunday market in Appenzell (December).

Pollux Black (1912 – 1990) was a pure-blood wizard, the eldest child of Cygnus Black II and Violetta Bulstrode, the brother of Cassiopeia Black, Marius Black, and Dorea Black, the husband of Irma Crabbe, the father of Walburga Black, Alphard Black, and Cygnus Black III,[1] the grandfather of Sirius Black, Regulus Black, Bellatrix Lestrange, Andromeda Tonks, and Narcissa Malfoy, the great-grandfather of Draco Malfoy and Nymphadora Tonks, and the great-great-grandfather of Teddy Lupin and Scorpius Malfoy.
Like many members of the Black family, the name Pollux comes from a star. It is the brightest star in the constellation Gemini. The name refers to Castor and Pollux, the twin sons of Zeus and Leda in Greek mythology. The name is traditionally thought to mean "much wine", since astrologers associate Pollux with prosperity and celebration with wine. Pollux's sister Cassiopeia was named after a constellation.
Behind the scenes
- On the Black Family Tree, it states that Pollux and (possibly) Irma was thirteen years old when they had their first child. This is most likely one of the numerous mathematical mistakes made by J. K. Rowling (who frequently admits that maths is not her strong suit). Then again, it's possible Rowling is discreetly showing us that teenage pregnancy is as common in the Wizarding world as it is in the Muggle world.
- Based on a statement by Horace Slughorn, Pollux may have been a member of the Slytherin House. This is likely due to most of the Black family (with the exception of Sirius Black) being in the aforementioned House. However, he attended Hogwarts c. 1923 - 1930, when Slughorn may not have been Potions master.
- Pollux named his last son (Cygnus Black III) in honour of his father (Cygnus Black II).
- Sirius Black, a grandson of Pollux, once said that his grandfather had a Order of Merlin. That was maybe Pollux or Arcturus Black III, who was a cousin of Pollux.
- At the beginning of the tree Licorus Black is depicted with a green hat, who is very similar to Pollux, but Pollux on the image has got a red hat.
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (film) (Appears on Black family tapestry)
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (video game) (Mentioned as Walburga Black's father)

Quantities of food consumed/acquired over a certain period of time in the household by sex of the head of household. Based on this minimum set of data, a variety of measures can be constructed, such as the Dietary Energy Consumption/Acquisition (DEC), the share of calories from protein/carbohydrates/fats, the contribution of each acquisition source to the total calories (if sources are collected), dietary energy unit values (if household expenditures or prices are collected). The dietary energy consumption/acquisition should be adjusted for the sex and age composition of the household (i.e. use of adult equivalents).
Frequency of consumption for specific food groups over a certain period of time by sex of the head of household. According to the type of data collected and recall period, information can be used to construct measures of food quality and diversity such as the Food Consumption Score (see WFP, 2009a), the Household Dietary Diversity Score (see FAO, 2011a) or both, as prescribed in the existing guidelines.
Insufficient food supply and intake; insufficient food quality; and anxiety about food as reported by households, by sex of the head of household. These data can be used to construct perception or experience-based measures of food deprivation such as the Household Hunger Scale and the Escala Latinoamericana y Caribeña de Seguridad Alimentaria.
Data on seasonality of food shortages (months in which food shortage occurred); reported changes in eating patterns (i.e. skipping meals, eating less expensive and less nutritious food; cutting the size of meals); and reported steps taken to alleviate food shortage (i.e. use of savings; taking loans; selling land; getting help from relatives etc.), by sex of the head of household. Such data should also be collected in relation to major shocks, including natural disasters.
When possible, experience-based measures of food security at the individual level should also be considered and results should be provided disaggregated by sex, age and other individual and household characteristics. For example, the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES), based on a set of eight questions designed to reveal whether and how respondents have experienced food insecurity in the previous 12 months, is being piloted by FAO in collaboration with Gallup Inc. Data are to be collected at individual level, thus making possible to estimate the severity of food insecurity by sex, age and other individual characteristics. The use of an individual measure of the experience of food insecurity represents a novelty, since most often food security is measured at the household level, and an important step in measuring food insecurity from a gender perspective.
Mean adult equivalent daily dietary energy consumption/acquisition (DEC) by sex of the head of household
Dietary energy unit value ($/1,000 kcals) by sex of the head of household
Share of calories from protein / carbohydrates / fats in total calories (%) by sex of the head of households
Share of food expenditure in total household expenditure by sex of the head of household
Mean Household Dietary Diversity Score or Food Consumption Score by sex of the head of household
Large scale household surveys such as Household Income and Expenditure Surveys, Household Budget Surveys normally are not designed to carry out a food security assessment of the population. However, if collected properly, information from the food consumption module can be used to estimate the amount of dietary energy consumed/acquired. Living standard surveys such as LSMS (Living Standard Measurement Study) collect more comprehensive information on individual characteristics for all household members, allowing for more detailed analysis of food access by detailed types of female- and male-headed households. Recently, LSMS have started including modules on food group consumption frequency (for Food Consumption Score calculation). Many LSMS also collect information on shocks (including crop/livestock losses) which can be used in the context of a food security analysis. Living standard surveys or other multi-purpose surveys may also collect data on reported insufficient food supply, intake, and quality; anxiety about food; and coping strategies during food shortage.
Panel surveys, surveys conducted regularly at relatively short interval that would capture seasonality in access to food (conducted in the harvest and in the lean season), and surveys conducted before and after major shocks in a country or large areas may be used to collect data on food access over time. Such data can be used to construct measures of households' vulnerability and stability in access to food.
The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) Comprehensive Food Security Assessments (CFSVAs) collect data on food consumption frequency, among other topics. However, CFSVAs tend to have smaller samples compared with LSMS and do not collect data on food quantities. Some surveys also collect data on coping strategies, shocks and copping mechanisms, and monthly food deprivation.
Agricultural censuses and surveys may collect some information on household food security. The topic is not recommended to be included in the censuses as a core module; however, it may be considered for integration, as supplementary items, in thematic agricultural surveys. These supplementary items may refer to (FAO, 2007): reported insufficient quantity and quality of food; food shortages in a twelve month reference period; reasons for food shortage; changes in household's eating patterns; steps to alleviate food shortage; and extent of loss of agricultural output due to natural disasters.
In spite of few attempts aimed at measuring individual consumption and intra-household allocation of food, objective measures of access to food are essentially available only at household-level. Therefore most of gender analysis of food access is based on the sex of the household head. As such, it is crucial to establish proper criteria for identifying the head, and ensure that these criteria are applied consistently for all the sampled households. Researchers should acknowledge that: i) in some contexts it is useful to use the concept of joint headship; ii) it is essential to consider the marital status of the female-head and distinguish between de- jure and de facto female-headed household; iii) it is important to take into account the economic role of spouses currently not living in the household (ie., does he/she send remittances?). All this information allows a better identification of categories of female- and male-headed households that are vulnerable to food insecurity. The analyst can use the household head as identified by the household during the data collection, or can use other socio-economic variables to identify the head during the analysis. Different identification rules may lead to different results.
Household-level data on food consumption and deprivation cannot be used to draw conclusions on household members. When food access indicators are collected at the household level, the analysis has to rely on the (strong) assumption that all the household members have equal access to food, without considering inequalities in food distribution within the household. Therefore household level data give only a superficial measure of gender-related differences in accessing food.
Attempts have been made to measure individual consumption of women and children. Much of the effort has been put on measuring women's diet diversity as a proxy of micronutrient deficiencies, rather than capturing intra-household distribution (Arimond M. et al., 2010; 2011). Results suggest that the food group indicators are meaningful proxies of individual diet variety and micronutrient deficiencies in rural, urban and peri-urban settings. Yet, high quality dietary data are difficult, and require additional field-work and skilled enumerators. Alternatively, experience-based measures of food deprivation and coping strategies based on data collected at individual level for both women and men may be considered.
No indicator can be used as unique stand alone measure of food access; instead, a set of indicators should be used to capture complementary aspects. While this is true in each food security analysis, it becomes particularly relevant in identifying disparities between groups (such as female and male headed households). For example, gender-based differences may be little in terms of dietary energy consumption/acquisition, but they may become more visible when looking at the quality and cost of the diet, or the sustainability of the sources. A comprehensive approach is therefore highly recommended in the context of a gender analysis.

Icha Icha (イチャイチャ, Icha Icha) is a series of best-selling novels written by Jiraiya. Little is known about the novel's plot, but it is noted to be about a passionate love between a man and a woman. Kakashi Hatake is a big fan of the series and is shown reading one of them most of the time. They are comedic (and likely adult) recounts of Jiraiya's experiences in love. They are meant for people of 18 and above.
Known Books Edit
- Icha Icha Paradise (イチャイチャパラダイス, Icha Icha Paradaisu, English TV: Make-Out Paradise): The first book to appear in the series. In Naruto the Movie: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow, Yukie Fujikaze stars in a movie-adaptation of this book.
- Icha Icha Violence (イチャイチャバイオレンス, Icha Icha Baiorensu, English TV: Make-Out Violence): The second book. It also became a movie, as seen in episode 101.
- Icha Icha Tactics (イチャイチャタクティクス, Icha Icha Takutikusu, English TV: Make-Out Tactics): The third book. Naruto Uzumaki gave this book to Kakashi when he returned to Konoha following his two-and-a-half year training with Jiraiya, and as such it was the newest instalment in several years. When Jiraiya sent the secret of Pain's identity to Konoha, he used the first word from various pages in the book to decode his message: "The real one isn't among them." As a result of Jiraiya's death, this is the last book in the series.
- Ero Ero Paradigm (エロエロパラダイム, Ero Ero Paradaimu): A book that can be seen holding by Kakashi on the cover of chapter 531.
- Icha Icha Strap: A book only seen in the game Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3 that can be given to Ebisu.
- Icha Icha Pooltime (イチャイチャプール間き, Icha Icha Pūrukanki, English TV: Make-Out Pooltime): The first book in a Swimming sub-series, as seen in episode 15 part 1 of the anime Naruto SD: Rock Lee no Seishun Full-Power Ninden: The Pool's Finally Open!.
- There is also an unofficial Icha Icha novel that was written by Naruto Uzumaki in episode 177. Naruto finished the manuscript for Jiraiya (so that Jiraiya would train him again) and accidentally sent it to the wrong place (the Land of Fangs). The book was mistaken for a peace treaty, and, since the daimyō enjoyed it, he afterwards ended the war with the Land of Claws.
- In addition, Rock Lee's Springtime of Youth Full Power Ninja Chronicles spin-off has also shown other similar books, such as Icha Icha Emotion, Icha Icha Dynamic, and Ero Ero Install. Icha Icha Pooltime was also featured.

A's, Rangers set to meet for final time this season
Parker, Perez square off with clubs riding different types of streaks
While the Athletics will look to extend their American League West lead to their largest advantage of the season on Sunday, the rival Rangers will simply be hoping to halt their September freefall.
In winning the first two games at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington -- and four straight overall -- the A's have extended their division lead to 5 1/2 games, just a half-game shy of the season-best six-game edge they held from July 28-29. Texas, meanwhile, is winless over the first five games of its current homestand, and is just 2-10 in the month of September.
The Rangers will turn to southpaw Martin Perez for the series finale with A's -- which will also be their final chance this season to gain ground in a head-to-head meeting with their rivals. Texas will attempt to grab the final game of its six-game homestand and, in turn, avoid a sweep at the hands of the suddenly surging Athletics.
Not only has Texas' chances of winning the AL West taken a hit with the recent slump, but the Rangers are now fighting just to hold onto their shrinking lead in the AL Wild Card race. In losing eight of their last nine games, the Rangers are tied with the Rays, who beat the Twins on Saturday night, for the top spot in the race.
"It has been tough," Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus said on Friday night. "We haven't been getting the wins. But, believe me, it has been a lot of fun. We're fighting to the end; we just haven't been able to get the win. That's all you can do, is fight to the end. We're really close to clicking and running off a winning streak."
Turning that elusive corner won't be an easy task against A's starter Jarrod Parker, who last suffered a loss on May 22. Though that defeat came at the hands of the Rangers, Parker has since gone 9-0 with a 2.61 ERA over 19 starts -- including 3-0 with a 2.84 ERA in three more matchups against Texas.
In his most recent start, the 24-year-old served up a pair of long solo home runs on Tuesday against the Twins, but limited the damage to just those two runs over six innings of work. Parker left that contest in position for yet another victory, but ultimately settled for a no-decision, after the Twins rallied late against Oakland's bullpen.
"I thought he pitched great," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "When you're rolling up game after game like he is, and you're not giving anything up, sometimes when you give up a run or two, it doesn't look like your best performance. But again, 100 pitches, six innings, we're ahead when he leaves -- I'll take that."
Athletics: Anderson hoping for speedy recovery
The back spasms that forced reliever Brett Anderson out of Friday's series opener after just two batters are expected to keep him sidelined for another day or two. But the A's are hoping that will be the extent of it.
Anderson, who missed four months earlier this season with a stress fracture in his right foot, experienced the spasms in the eighth inning of the A's 9-8 win after walking the only two batters he faced. Though Melvin couldn't put a timetable on the reliever's return, the A's skipper said Anderson arrived in the clubhouse on Saturday morning feeling "probably better than we expected."
"It might be a couple of days," Melvin said, "but I don't think it's going to be a long-term thing."
Rangers: Perez looking to start new streak
As the Rangers aim to snap Parker's lengthy winning streak in the series finale, their starter will be looking to begin a new streak of his own.
Perez takes the mound on Sunday for the first time since his six-game winning streak was snapped on Tuesday at the hands of the Pirates. The Rangers lefty served up nine hits and a pair of walks over five innings, while admittedly struggling at times with his command.
"When you work hard and trust what you have, you'll have a good game," said Perez, who spent his Friday bullpen session working on better commanding his inside fastball and outside sinker. "You have to continue to trust in what you have, and remember you have a good team. You have guys behind you playing good. Just play relaxed."
Perez, who had gone 6-0 with a 2.76 ERA in his six starts prior to Tuesday's loss, is 9-4 with a 3.60 ERA in 16 starts overall this season.
Worth noting
• Texas has been outscored in the first inning in each of the first two games this series. The Rangers have been outscored 76-44 in the first inning overall this season, the only frame in which they have not scored as many or more runs than their opponents.
• A's third baseman Josh Donaldson enters play on Sunday with a career-best 10-game hitting streak. He is hitting .447 (17-for-38) with three home runs, six doubles, 10 RBIs and 11 runs scored during that stretch.
• Oakland slugger Yoenis Cespedes is hitting .373 (19-for-51) with three home runs, 13 RBIs and eight multi-hit games in 13 September games.
