look at last year.. they are comparable.. we have talked in LENGTH on this board about how mental can change how you play for most people..
those numbers are PRETTY CLOSE.. especially when you consider the fact that sheff plays a SLIGHTLY better defense at this age.. than dunn does when he is in his prime..
And not that it matters, it's not like we can go jump in a time machine and get the Sheffield of last year. He's in decline, end of story.
Sheffield = one of the most overrated of all time!
This shouldnt even be a debate right now, Sheffield or anyone else who is near 40 does not fit into our rebuilding/future plans unless they can pitch and pitch well for a relatively cheap price.
I was kinda hoping we would pick up all the waiver wire old guys and start a veteran team.
Who's on first?
Would rather play minor leagers at this point.

Conference sows entrepreneurial seeds for growthBy Bruce Edwards
STAFF WRITER | March 25,2013CASTLETON - Lawrence Miller knows something about entrepreneurship. Before his current job as secretary of the Agency of Commerce and Community Development, Miller started Otter Creek Brewing.
But getting to the point where the Middlebury brewery could be considered a success had its challenges, Miller told the 200 attendees at an all-day business conference at Castleton State College on Monday.
Miller was one of a number of speakers and workshops that focused on practices to help new businesses and budding entrepreneurs.
Rutland business leaders started off the Grow Your Business Over-Easy seminar with a pitch on why the city and the area is an ideal place to do business, including the city's pro-business attitude, workforce and transportation infrastructure.
They pointed to a series of recent positive developments anchored by Green Mountain Power's new Energy Innovation Center in the heart of the downtown.
Brennan Duffy, executive director of the Rutland Redevelopment Authority, gave a short Power Point presentation ticking off a list of what the city has to offer.
"Strategic location, lower cost real estate, a strong workforce, robust infrastructure, business friendly environment and a great quality of life," Duffy said
He said there are financial incentives available including commercial and industrial tax stabilization.
In terms of job growth, Duffy said while the county has lost jobs in the last decade the city has experienced 4 percent job growth.
"That's a positive sign for the city," he said.
In discussing the Vermont economy, Miller said "income improvement" has not kept pace with the cost of living. "That needs to change," he said. "We need better wages, we need better income, we need it across the spectrum."
Miller said the problem is that while companies are more productive, those companies are doing it with fewer workers.
"So what do we need, we need more firms," he said. "How do we get more firms, we need more entrepreneurs and that's what a day like this is all about."

I have found I liked full polys in my VCORE 100 S and have used (and enjoyed!) both Luxilon Adrenaline and Kirshcbaum Pro Line Evolution. I have not used Kirshbaum Pro Line 2 but I might just throw that in there the next time I string it up to see how it feels.
Brittany, TW
Customer reviews praise Pro Line 2. Angelique Kerber is using this string in her VCORe so its worth a try.
I suppose that the Black Widow/Pacific Gut crosses is very plush.
LTEC and Weiss Cannon have pretty good polys too.
In regard to dead polys, in the past I used Babolat Revenge mains (which is considered a dead feeling poly) with gut crosses Wozniackis setup). It was good but expensive.
Regardless, VCORE 100 S is a great racket!

Blackfoot City Councilman Rich Woodfin presented a tentative three-phase plan to remove eight blue spruce trees along Bergener Boulevard at last week's city council meeting.
The trees became an issue this fall when some of the business managers and property owners complained that the trees are blocking visibility to their signs and storefronts.
Woodfin has reviewed the tree situation closely following the business complaints and subsequent comments by citizens who said that "they don't want to lose the trees for their aesthetic value, especially when they are lighted up at Christmastime."
The council has opted not to pursue the proposed tree removal plan until this spring.

Full text not available from this repository.
The liquid phase oxidation of glycerol has been studied over gold-palladium nanoparticles supported on activated carbon and synthesized by using a one-protocol synthesis. The effect of pressure, catalyst amount and base has been examined by using an autoclave reactor with molecular oxygen as oxidant at mild conditions. By choosing the appropriate reaction conditions control of selectivity could be possible, whereas activity is strongly dependent on catalyst amount and concentration of base.

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Kieran J. Nicholson, MD (Loyola University Stritch School of Medicine)
Description: This is a two-volume ring-bound reference of pulmonary and critical care medicine.
Purpose: The stated purpose is that this book serve as a unique, easily updated, comprehensive, and definitive source for these two disciplines. The book's implied purpose is to be an accessible, comprehensive, and definitive source book in an easily updated format. A book of this type would be an extremely useful addition in these rapidly evolving fields; however, it fails to meet its objectives because several major topical areas are not covered. Practical management, especially in critical care areas, is frequently omitted.
Audience: The logical audience, although not defined, would be trainees and practitioners of pulmonary and critical care medicine.
Features: The unique ring-binder format allows owners to update existing sections and add new sections yearly. The text is well referenced and indexed and is of attractive appearance with beautiful illustrations.
Assessment: This book is uneven in coverage of topics. Basic science chapters are well written, but there are serious deficiencies both in the pulmonary section (e.g., lung transplant, pulmonary rehabilitation) and in the critical care section (e.g., poisoning, cardiac critical care). In addition, practical management is not emphasized. This is a good book in parts, but buyers would be better served by purchasing individual textbooks of pulmonary and critical care medicine. The format of the book willpermit rapid improvement of the these deficiencies.

We had a great time at Delia's place! The location is absolutely perfect for all the SLO activities. We hit the beach, vineyards, local fare, etc all within a few minutes. The house is very quiet, has everything you need and was a great place to start and end our days. There is a charming cat named Moon that visits the backyard and is very friendly. Highly recommended!
The home was clean. It was in a nice, quiet trailer area. We were not disturbed by the owner who was in the trailer next to ours. It was bigger than I anticipated. Only twin beds and air mattresses available, so my wife and I slept on a quote air mattress. Nothing special, but it met our needs.
What a peaceful, positive place to stay! Everywhere we turned there were little reminders to enjoy life and feel good. The huge deck area is really lovely and the living / dining / kitchen area is very spacious, with vaulted ceilings. It felt like a little spa retreat. Delia was out of town so we didn't get to meet her but the way she decorated her home made us really want to get to know her. The location is in a mobile/modular home park so we now understand the limit of one car. The car is just outside the front door, making it very easy to unload your suitcases into the house. We immediately felt at home. All the little touches draw you from one place to another in the home. Everything was beautifully clean and nicely laid out. The instructions were clear and detailed. Next time we will try to book for at least two days so that we can soak in the peaceful atmosphere of her place. Definitely a favorite of ours already!
Delia was a delight to talk to and provided all the information we needed for our stay. The house was very clean and she provided numerous item we could have for breakfast. We had a good time in San Luis Obispo. Thank you Delia
Delia's suite is really beautiful, spacious, clean, very comfortable, private and located in a quiet area. She was very attentive to welcome us as well as possible. We stayed only 1 night but everything was perfect! I recommand this place!
Delia was an excellent host and very accommodating to our needs. The house was very comfortable and clean. We were visiting family pretty much the whole time. Overall, we would highly recommend this place for anyone staying in the SLO area.
Delia has an absolutely perfect location for those traveling the Pacific Coast Hwy - a convenient on/off, near the rte 101 south of San Luis Obispo. Had a very good night's sleep and clean warm shower in a clean home. Didn't meet Delia but she left good written instructions for the house and also had travel brochures for the guests. There was cereal and fruit on the counter plus an electric kettle and teas. If you are not on the same schedule as the host (early bird vs night owl), you will hear the sounds traveling through the house, but our hostess was very considerate of this.
Reviews From Hosts
Delia and Michael were great, clean and communicative guests! They came to see our great museums. The Huntington library and Norton Simon. I highly recommend this couple!
I wasn;t able to be here to welcome Delia, but MIchael enjoyed meeting her and it was a pleasure having her as a guest!
We were so pleased to host Delia and her boyfriend who were so appreciative, considerate, and respectful. They brought us lots of information about so many wonderful places that we did not know. Very sweet couple! Highly recommend. Please come back and visit us any time!
Thanks, michael and I really enjoyed talking with you and Your Mom. Hope to see you again, and be sure to meet Lulu at the silk art gallery. I think you two may have ways to help each other.
Delia's sister Beryl stayed with us and we loved having her. She was like one of the family by the time she left. She was so easy-going and very sweet to me and my daughters while she was here. We hope to see her again!
Too bad Delia couldn't make it for this trip. She fell ill in the last minute. So only Beryl stayed with us and she was a very sweet lady. She was very clean and orderly and respectful. She had a family event almost the whole saturday and left early for Oceanside the following morning so we really didn't have much time to interact. Although the wife was able to spend some time with her.
Beryl, who is Delia's sister stayed with me for 3 days. She was attending a 75th wedding anniversary of family members. Beryl and I engaged easily. She has a sweet personality. Even though she said she would need to use the bathroom often, even at night, she didn't mind walking through the garden back and forth several times. She left my place very clean, even brought the trash basket to be emptied. She can come back any time.
Delia's sister, Beryl, stayed with me only one night, but we had an excellent rapport! She was a great guest and I would be happy to host her again.
Delia was only over for a short visit, but she was a wonderful guest. She was nice to talk to and respectful of our home. We'd definitely have her over again!
Delia is Aloha personified. With all humility and gentleness, patience and thoughtfulness she communicated with me and presented herself all throughout her brief stay. It felt like I have known her from before. I am blessed to have met you Delia. Many blessings on your continued journey. Mahalo nui loa :)

Nigeria: 5 kidnapped in offshore oil rig attack
LAGOS, Nigeria Gunmen in speedboats kidnapped at least five workers and wounded two others in an attack Monday at an oil rig operating off the coast of Nigeria's troubled southern delta, officials said.
The attack on the newly installed rig operated by London-based Afren PLC and a nearby support ship came as sporadic attacks continued in a region supposedly calmed by a government-sponsored amnesty program. But confusion remained over how many people the gunmen kidnapped, with a U.S. State Department spokesman saying as many as seven were taken during the attack.
The nationalities of the employees taken hostage was unclear.
French Foreign Ministry spokesman Bernard Valero said his nation had "indications" about "the possible presence of two French citizens among the people captured" - though he offered no official confirmation.
U.S. State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley told reporters that seven people were kidnapped - two of them U.S. citizens.
"We, of course, (are) concerned about their safety and hope for their immediate return," Crowley said. "We are working with Nigerian authorities ... to pursue their prompt release."
In a statement, Afren said the attack occurred at a new rig doing survey work at the Okoro oil field, which sits about 7 miles (11 kilometers) off the coast of Nigeria's Akwa Ibom state. The company said the two workers suffered "wounds to the leg" in the attack and have been flown out by helicopter to receive medical treatment. It was unclear if they escaped or were simply left behind by the kidnappers.
"We are working with the relevant authorities, and the vessel and rig are both under the control of the company," Afren said. "Drilling operations on the rig are temporarily suspended. An update will be provided in due course."
Nigerian navy vessels often offer security for such offshore rigs, but there were no vessels immediately in the area. Capt. Kabir Aliyu, a navy spokesman, said two navy boats rushed to the scene and sailors shot at the vessels carrying the gunmen and hostages as they sped away.
Security officials have no immediate suspects in mind, but they continue to investigate the incident, he said.
"The Nigerian navy is doing its best," Aliyu said. "We are sending more ships to provide security for the oil companies operating in the area."
Afren explores eight oil fields in Nigeria with local partner companies. The firm operates in the Okoro field with the private Nigerian firm Amni International. In financial reports, Afren has said the field produces about 18,800 barrels of oil a day, with an estimated reserve of 24.8 million barrels.
Shares in Afren dropped 6.09 percent in trading Monday on the London Stock Exchange.
Militants in Nigeria's oil-rich Niger Delta began a campaign of kidnapping and pipeline bombings in 2006, upset over pollution and the region's endemic poverty, despite 50 years of oil production. Violence in the region dropped after a government-sponsored amnesty program last year offered militants the promise of job training and cash payouts. However, some have become disillusioned and others remain armed in the delta's winding creeks.

Cover Reveal Sign-Up: Reaching Rose by J.P. Grider
Reaching Rose
J.P. Grider
Publication date: May 2015
Genres: Contemporary, New Adult, Romance
Rose Duncan is dancing on Broadway. She's spent hours a day for the last two decades to get there, and now she's living the dream. She's happy, she's driven, and life couldn't get any better.
Ben Falco is a pitcher whose only goal is to make it to the Major Leagues. He keeps his grades up, he doesn't party, and he stays away from committed relationships – they'll only distract him.
But when Ben meets Rose, she's no dancer, and she's certainly not happy. In fact, she doesn't seem to be living at all. Yet something about her makes him want to know what's turned her into this shell of a person, and if he can be the one to reach inside her mind and pull her out.
Ben doesn't want a relationship. Rose doesn't want to get better. But once their hearts collide, it's a whole new ballgame.
Reaching Rose is a story about Rose and Ben, and a little about their friend Johnny Gleason – a genius who has plans of his own until they too slip from his grasp. This is a tale about love, loss, and guts, and the ability to play hardball when life throws you a curve.
I am organizing a cover reveal for Reaching Rose by J.P. Grider, a New Adult Contemporary Romance, designed by For the Love of Reading Cover Design. The reveal is scheduled for Thursday, April 2nd, 2015(after 12:01AM EST).
An email with the posting information will be sent to all participants 2 days before the reveal.
So I went to see the long awaited Fifty Shades of Grey movie. My take? 2.5 Stars.
The acting was good. I enjoyed Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan's versions of Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey. Dakota was especially spot on. Jamie Dornan was probably more benign than I remember the book version of Christian, but he was believable. The story was okay too - I enjoyed their chemistry during conversations and negotiations. I even enjoyed Christian's family at the dinner table and Ana's best friend Kate. Marcia Gay Harden and Eloise Mumford were engaging as Christian's mother and Ana's best friend.
What I didn't like were the most anticipated elements of the movie - Christian and Ana in what Christian called 'The Playroom' and Ana called 'The Red Room of Pain.' It's quite obvious their reasons for the different interpretations. However, the movie made the scenes all too real for me, and I did not enjoy watching them. In fact, I wanted to walk out during the last scene of the movie. It's not that the screenwriters got it wrong. I was the one that got it wrong when I first read the books. I believe my imagination would not allow me to perceive the actual severity of the acts. What I read in the books was much more amorous than what I realize was written. I'm okay with that, because I like my imagination the way it is - harmless and innocent. But watching the movie? It left nothing to my imagination and, therefore, left me startled and disappointed.
But go watch the movie and decide for yourself.
These are my opinions and are meant to be taken that way. I'd love to hear yours, so please leave me a comment and let me know. However, please do not be rude or disparaging. This is my happy place. Thank you, and...
Welcome to my new website. I hope you like it and find it easy to use.
To fill you in on what I've been doing, I will let you know that I am more than halfway done with my third book in my New Adult Hunter Hill University series - Reaching Rose. You've met Rose in Calling California and Mending Michael, now you'll get to read all about her and her new relationship with Ben, the boy you met in Mending Michael. I am so excited for you to read it and I can't wait until it's finished. Reaching Rose will be released in May of 2015.
I am also writing a Young Adult book that I will be penning under another name - PJ Green. You can look for Clinton and Me to be released in Summer, 2015.
Enjoy my new website. Happy Reading. And as always, Smiles,

*This will be a STANDALONE CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE.*
Aimee's wedding is supposed to turn out perfect. Her dress, her fiancé and the location—the idyllic holiday ranch in Brazil—are perfect.
But all Aimee's plans come crashing down when the private jet that's taking her from the U.S. to the ranch—where her fiancé awaits her—defects mid-flight and the pilot is forced to perform an emergency landing in the heart of the Amazon rainforest.
With no way to reach civilisation, being rescued is Aimee and Tristan's—the pilot—only hope. A slim one that slowly withers away, desperation taking its place. Because death wanders in the jungle under many forms: starvation, diseases. Beasts.
As Aimee and Tristan fight to find ways to survive, they grow closer. Together they discover that facing old, inner agonies carved by painful pasts takes just as much courage, if not even more, than facing the rainforest.
Despite her devotion to her fiancé, Aimee can't hide her feelings for Tristan—the man for whom she's slowly becoming everything. You can hide many things in the rainforest. But not lies. Or love.
Withering Hope is the story of a man who desperately needs forgiveness and the woman who brings him hope. It is a story in which hope births wings and blooms into a love that is as beautiful and intense as it is forbidden.

The Law of Moses by Amy Harmon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
If I could give this book a thousand stars, I would. It was the most tender, heart-wrenching, heart-warming, emotion-inducing story I've ever read. The story line was just so powerful. Moses and Georgia's love story was unique and divine. There was so much chemistry, but this wasn't a romance in the sense you think of romance. It was a love-story - a much stronger kind of story than a romance. It tore my heart to pieces and mended it back together many times throughout the book.
My 5 greats? Moses' strength, Georgia's heart, Moses' cracks, Georgia's humor, Eli's will.....
I've never read a book that's touched me the way The Law of Moses touched me.

**This can be read as a STANDALONE. **
All Jessica wants -as a college graduate — is to be a good girl. She landed the job of her dreams at a museum and is trying to eliminate temptations. No more short skirts (when she can help it). No wild parties. And no men.
She particularly excels at that last thing. . .
Until her path crosses Parker's. Again. Jessica remembers the last time their paths crossed very well. She was left with a seriously bruised ego. She knows it would be best to avoid him altogether. But the charming Brit makes it hard for her to elude his electrifying pull. He is as irresistible as he is captivating.
And enigmatic.
Because underneath the sleek Armani suit and the sweet British accent that makes her crave his touch, Parker isn't the perfect gentleman everyone thinks he is.
He's exactly what Jessica doesn't want, but desperately needs.
A bad, bad boy.

Random/Funny Facts
So, remember the awkward story I shared with you when Lost in Us was released? The one where I wrote a letter on the back of a paper with a really hot scene in it?
It gets better.
I love writing in airports. I don't know why, I just do. If I would ever be blessed to be able to write full time, I'd totally be an airport crasher :-D Well, anyway, I was travelling this one time, and of course I got my laptop out to write a scene. A HOT scene. I didn't quite manage to finish it while waiting for boarding, so once the plane was in the air, I got out my laptop and began to type away. At some point I shifted slightly in my seat. That's when I realize the guy seated next to me was staring at my laptop screen and his face was very, very red. I politely smiled and immediately closed my laptop, my own face on fire.
So yeah, I seem to have achieved a new high in embarrassing myself. Not that it will stop me from writing in airports :-D
Excerpt 1
I decide to use the dress as an excuse to leave early. To my dismay, Parker is leaning against the wall farther down the corridor, one or two turns away from the entrance to the bar. His eyes rest on the stain on my dress for a few seconds and my cheeks flare up instantly. I'm sure he can see the redness in them even in the dim light.
"I have to go," I say. "My dress is soaked."
"I'll drive you home," he says, walking toward me.
"No, you just got here. I'm sure you and Dani have lots to talk about." I actually take a step back, only to hit the wall behind me.
"I'd just drop you off and return. Are you afraid of being alone with me, Jessica?"
"No . . . it's just not necessary. I can take a cab."
"What are you afraid of?" he insists, stepping right in front of me. "That I'll try to seduce you and take you to bed? Do I really strike you like that kind of guy?"
Every inch of my body commands me to say yes. In my experience, men who don't look even half as godlike as he does are after one thing only. But his humiliating rejection all those months ago proves he isn't one of them. And nothing I've seen or heard about him indicated he's a womanizer. But being so close to him makes it impossible to think rationally.
I push him away, but with one swing he grabs both my hands and pins them against the wall above me. His lips are inches away from mine, the fingers of his free hand tracing the contour of my lips, leaving a trail of fire behind them. He's so close to me that I can feel every single hot breath against my lips. He locks eyes with me, and it's the sight of his blue eyes boring into mine—more than his proximity and his touch—that sets me on fire, causing an almost unbearable pressure between my thighs.
He trails his fingers from my lips down to my chin and then slowly over my neck. I bite my lip when he presses gently with his thumb on the hollow of my neck, then proceeds with his torture farther down. His fingers peruse the hem of my neckline, at the exact point where the soaked fabric of the dress meets my skin, then slip under the fabric. Just a fraction of an inch.
Not enough to actually touch my breast.
But more than enough to send me over the edge.
"Damn you, Parker, kiss me," I whisper. He doesn't answer, the corner of his lips lifting in a delicious smile as he removes his hand from my neckline, letting it fall by his side. His eyes never leave mine. I wait, sucking in my breath, for him to lean forward and kiss me. After what feels like hours, he finally leans forward and kisses me.
On my goddamn forehead.
Excerpt 2 (Attention! Extreme hotness alert)
"I can't make up my mind," Parker says.
"About what?"
"About what I want to do with you."
I gulp. "Don't I get a say in this?"
He snaps his head up, chuckling. "Not really."
"That's not frustrating at all, you know? What are you thinking right now?"
He tugs his lower lip with his teeth. "You really want to know?"
"Yeah, I really want to know."
He shifts his weight on the edge of the seat, and when he leans forward this time, I don't back off. "I'm thinking I would very much like to see you come," he says into my ear. My mind doesn't register the full impact of his words right away. But my body does. "Anything against that, Jessica?" he whispers, his hand trailing up and down my inner thigh.
"N-no," I say in a low voice. So low that I hope he hasn't heard me. But he has. There's no other explanation as to why his hand has already found its way under my dress.
"Turn around and spread your legs," he commands.
"Parker," I mumble, "not here . . ."
"No one can see us, and Dani won't come back soon. Turn around."
Despite knowing I shouldn't, I turn around. My body no longer seems to listen to any commands of mine. I lean my back against his chest, my head resting on his shoulder, my forehead touching the base of his neck. I look into the room, trying to gauge what those in the boxes opposite us can see. But I can barely see anything in the back row of the boxes directly in front of us. There's no reason to believe anyone could see us from there. Anyone looking from above won't have a clear view of the back row either.
"Spread your legs," he repeats, his tone more authoritative than before. It sends another wave of heat through me. Burying myself in his neck, I open up for him. He doesn't touch me right away. He takes his time, trailing his fingers on the inside of my thigh, inciting a deep hunger in my core that grows with each inch of my skin he touches until I drop any pretense of shame and beg him, "Parker . . ."
When his fingers touch my intimate spot over my panties, I stiffen against him.
"You're soaked," he says, and I take immense pleasure in the slight tremble in his voice. Then his fingers start rubbing me slowly, and I dig my own fingers in the cushion of the chair as a spasm wracks through me.
This man will make me come.
Here, surrounded by people and plush velvet-covered seats.

Determining how thousands of chemicals found in the environment may be interacting with the genes in your body to cause disease is becoming easier because of a new field of science called toxicogenomics. A new report issued today by the National Academies of Sciences (NAS) recognizes the importance of toxicogenomics in predicting effects on human health and recommends the integration of toxicogenomics into regulatory decision making. The NAS report was commissioned by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and a leader in the development of toxicogenomic technologies.
Toxicogenomic technologies provide tools to better understand the mechanisms through which environmental agents initiate and advance disease processes. They can also provide important information to help identify individuals that are more susceptible to disease risks posed by certain environmental agents than the general population.
Using toxicogenomic technologies will open the door for public health decision makers who need to decide in a timely and accurate manner what chemicals are safe and which ones are not, says Christopher Portier, Ph.D., Associate Director, NIEHS and Director, Office of Risk Assessment Research.
The report from the NAS National Research Council (NRC) entitled Applications of Toxicogenomic Technologies to Predictive Toxicology and Risk Assessment states that the technological hurdles that could have limited the reproducibility of data from toxicogenomic technologies have been resolved and recommends ways for the field to move forward.
NIH and others have invested in the development of these tools and have already tackled many of the tough technical questions. We are now ready to move to the next phase of technology development, refined standardization and validation, so these tools can be even more useful to regulatory agencies, says Portier.

Sea Turtles
89 sea turtles received medical care in the Houston Zoo's Veterinary Clinic in 2014!
There are 5 species of sea turtles inhabiting the Gulf of Mexico, all of which are considered to be either threatened or endangered. They include the Kemp's ridley, green, leatherback, Atlantic hawksbill, and loggerhead sea turtles.
Some of the threats sea turtles face in the Gulf are:
- Plastic pollution
- Entanglement in recreational fishing line, commercial fishing nets and recreational hooks
- Vehicle traffic
- Development of beaches and light pollution
Sea turtle populations are slowly recovering thanks to the collaborative effort of scientists, non-profits, universities, grass roots organizations and many dedicated people. The Houston Zoo has treated over 300 sea turtles since 2010 in our veterinary clinic, which are then brought to the sea turtle barn in Galveston to prepare for reintroduction. You may also catch a glimpse of a recovering sea turtle at the Zoo in the Kipp Aquarium.
We also assist by:
- Holding sea turtle events on Zoo grounds to increase awareness about sea turtles
- Educating teachers and students about sea turtle conservation efforts in Texas
- Partially funding and designing sea turtle awareness signs that are posted on Galveston beaches. Installed 100 sea turtle awareness and education signs on Bolivar Peninsula and Galveston Island.
- Participating in weekly beach surveys to look for stranded or nesting sea turtles.
- Supporting partial funding and construction of monofilament (fishing line) recycling bins to decrease the occurrences of sea turtle entanglement.
- Funding nesting patrol seasons
Sea Turtle Success
In 2013, we rehabilitated 24 sea turtles and put up 100 new sea turtle awareness signs on Galveston beaches – designed by our amazing graphics team! The Houston Zoo also assisted in 2 Kemp's ridley sea turtle beach releases as seen below.
How You Can Help
- Call 1-866-TURTLE-5 if you see a sea turtle on the beach, or if you see sea turtle tracks on the beach that run from the water to the dunes – if the turtle has finished nesting, there will be another set of tracks running back to the water. Tracks for Kemp's ridley sea turtles will be drags about 2 ft in diameter, and you should see marks from their flippers and flipper claw.
- Be a hero; reduce your use of plastic!
- Use biodegradable garbage and doggie bags, they break down naturally and don't leave harmful chemicals behind!
- Use a canvas bag whenever you shop, you can eliminate the use of 1,000 plastic bags! The canvas bags seen here can be purchased at the Houston Zoo Gift Shop, with proceeds going towards sea turtle saving efforts!
- Buy a reusable water bottle and you'll never need to drink out of a plastic water bottle again!
- Avoid party balloons if possible! When these items deflate they
often end up in the ocean and sea turtles may eat them thinking they are food.

Hungarian PM warns EU to back off, stop meddling
STRASBOURG, France The Hungarian prime minister told European Union politicians Wednesday not to meddle in Hungarian politics while his country holds the EU's presidency, warning that the entire EU would suffer.
But many legislators at the European Parliament did exactly that, accusing Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban of undermining democratic ideals in an EU nation and starting to become, as one lawmaker put it, a "European Chavez" - a reference to Venezuela's mercurial leader Hugo Chavez.
"How does it feel to lead a country away from democracy and toward a dictatorship?" asked Austrian Socialist Joerg Leichtfried, making the kind of remark Orban called "a slap in the face of the Hungarian people."
It was a raucous and rather unpromising start to the eastern European nation's six-month EU presidency. Coming in for particular criticism were Hungary's new media law, which was criticized as stifling free expression, and Orban himself, who was accused of trying to undermine democratic ideals in a European Union nation.
"This debate in the plenary was almost like holding it on Mars," Orban said after a caustic confrontation in parliament centering on the media law.
At the start of Orban's speech to kick off the six-month presidency, some EU legislators covered their mouths with duct tape and held banners reading "Censored."
In a debate marked by raised voices and finger-pointing, Socialist lawmakers demanded that Orban immediately withdraw the media law, while the Greens questioned his democratic credentials.
Under the EU's Byzantine institutional rules, each state gets a six-month stint leading the EU presidency, often giving it unmatched exposure on the world stage. The nation at the helm also has a huge impact on deciding the EU's political agenda.
Hungary's turn began Jan. 1, and many fear it will be weighed down by domestic issues. Liberal ALDE leader Guy Verhofstadt called the media law "the elephant in the room."
Orban said Hungary would live up to the EU challenge if domestic politics, where he wields a two-thirds majority through his conservative Fidesz party, were left to him.
"If you mix up the two, obviously I am ready to fight," he told the European Parliament's plenary session. "It won't just be detrimental or damaging to Hungary alone but detrimental and damaging to the EU as a whole."
He said his electoral success was now working against him. "I should have thought about that earlier. We should have maybe avoided a landslide victory but I could not stop the people."
The EU's Executive Commission has said Hungary's media law might not meet all of its standards for a free and fair press. The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe says the law could undermine pluralism.
The law, passed last month, greatly expands the state's power to monitor and penalize private news outlets. It allows a hand-picked authority to fine newspapers and broadcast outlets up to nearly $1 million (euro760,000) for reports it considers unbalanced or harmful to minors.
Orban said if the EU came up with convincing legal arguments that the law was undemocratic "we would be only too happy to amend the law."

Colo. shooting suspect: Brief romance, few friends
DENVER It didn't take long for suspicions to surface at a Colorado university that the man who just hours earlier shot up a midnight movie was a student who recently resigned from a school program.
The name of James Holmes began to circulate in news reports a few hours after the early-morning shooting July 22 at an Aurora movie theater that killed 12 people and wounded 58.
At 6:47 a.m., Angie Ribera, director of the neuroscience program, noted that the shooter could be the 24-year-old of the same name who had just withdrawn from her department.
"Do you think we should meet with students in his class?" she asked colleagues. "If they had been close to him, this would definitely be something that I think we should do. But as they were not, I do not know."
The new insight into the school's reaction came Wednesday with the release of thousands of emails, but they shed little light on the year that suspected theater shooter Holmes spent as a graduate student there.
The University of Colorado, Denver released the material in response to public records requests from media organizations, including the Associated Press. But it withheld more than 2,000 documents on Holmes, citing federal privacy laws on student medical and academic issues.
What remained revealed more about the school's reaction to the July 20 shooting than about Holmes.
Holmes had withdrawn from a competitive neuroscience graduate program in June after failing a key exam.
Denver's KMGH-TV reported Wednesday reported that a university psychiatrist, Dr. Lynne Fenton, reached out to campus police in June partly because Holmes talked about killing "a lot of people." It said she opted not to place him under a psychiatric hold because he was leaving the school. A university spokeswoman said she could not comment on the report.
Holmes' attorneys have said he suffers from mental illness.
Despite the avalanche of material on Wednesday, the school has not been able to answer key questions about Holmes and whether there were any signs he might do something violent. That's because, administrators say, a gag order in the case and the federal privacy laws prohibit them from disclosing much information.
As it became clear that James Holmes was the former student, faculty at the school passed on more tidbits of information they knew about him.
While the neuroscience program is very intimate - there are only six students admitted annually - Holmes had no apparent friends in the department, Ribera wrote in an email. She said he had "1-2 friends" elsewhere.
Another professor, responding to a friend's inquiry a few hours later, said Holmes had a "brief romantic relationship" with a graduate student in his computational bioscience program.
"She, fortunately, it turns out is in India right now," professor Larry Hunter emailed. "She knows, and is pretty freaked out."
A regular theme is the school's difficulty in dealing with the media swarm that descended after the shooting. At 8:02 a.m. on July 20, the neuroscience program administrator broke the news to the program's students and urged them to avoid mentioning anything on Twitter or Facebook.

I would make the final texture with the web app following the recommendations of the client, but this method doesn't ensure a result just as the client wants. Checking recent browsers statistics, around 60% of users are using IE, but if you discount old versions (6, 7), the quota decreases to less than 50%. One solution for IE users would be to download a portable version of Firefox or Opera (I'm not sure about Safari) that could be removed without problems once the web app has been used. I have added a poll to this entry to know the opinion of the people, at least the people that participate in this forum. I don't want to extend this post talking about why I haven't used other web technologies for the app such as Flash, Java, etc., but I'll answer any question about this topic for the interested ones.]]> jasolo 2010-08-28T17:44:59-00:00 Re: Making a web app for co-creator model unavailable to IE browsers http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=16902&th=3290#msg_16902 photosfromrob 2010-08-29T02:51:05-00:00 Re: Making a web app for co-creator model unavailable to IE browsers http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=16909&th=3290#msg_16909 photosfromrob wrote on Sun, 29 August 2010 02:51I'm working on some apps using Processing, have you thought about that. You end up with a java applet but it's much easier than java. Processing look very interesting and, as you say, it's easier than Java, but for this project the client have to enter text/image, select a font/color, sizes... I think that Processing doesn't have these things or at least in an easy way. For the interface I'm using Yahoo UI (YUI) and its color picker is perfect for selecting colors. But if processing is able to access the web elements and know when they change, I can use Processing for the graphical part and YUI for the interface. Anyways, and this is other topic, it will be interesting to check if Processing can be used for the 3D preview of the models in Shapeways. There are contributed librarys to import STL and other 3D formats, and Processing can draw 3D using OpenGL, but I don't know if Processing can get parameters from GET/POST or <APPLET> once converted to an applet. ]]> jasolo 2010-08-29T11:36:01-00:00

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you, but that's what the 5970 is. The GPUs in the 5970 and the 5870 are the same. They're simply clocked down in 5970 to slide in under PCI-e power requirements. Doing this allows the card to register at 296w which is its peak load.
PCI-e spec is 300w for a single card, so neither Nvidia nor ATI can exceed that. This proves a real problem for Nvidia since Fermi is so power-hungry in single GPU form. GTX470 seems to fall short of 5870 in most of the benches, yet it still consumes ~30w more than 5870. So even if they could stack two of these on a PCB (which they can't without really gimping the chip,) chances are it still wouldn't win out over 5970 which uses two 5870 GPUs.

Revenade filled in leadership, services, contractors through vertical merger
Having clients start on the same page with a bigger picture in mind makes Revenade's business model more effective, Williamson said.
Although Williamson wouldn't disclose client names, Revenade recently helped a Houston-based IT services firm change its service mix from small projects to large, more strategic projects and ongoing managed services projects. The company outsourced its sales leadership and closing functions to Revenade, which also handled lead generation and campaign management and provided marketing assistance.
As a result, the client increased its monthly lead flow from eight to 20 and boosted its pipeline backlog from $3 million to $10 million, increasing company sales by more than 100 percent.
Williamson credits part of Revenade's success right out of the gate to his approach to building his own team, which includes business advisers who are former vice presidents of sales and marketing, and even former CEOs. He also made an early attempt to diversify Revenade's employee base by bringing on some younger employees who brought a different approach to sales and business.
Targeted campus recruiting efforts enabled Revenade to hire graduates of Duke University, Rice University and other prestigious colleges.
"The world of sales is changing, and the way people have sold in the past is changing," Williamson said. "We have a mix of people that represent the tried-and-true methods of selling, as well as a younger group of employees that are open to exploring various ways of selling. They are the next wave of salespeople in the market."
The model is working so well that Revenade is gearing up to open physical offices in cities outside of Houston in the near future. The company is also preparing to roll out a number of new business strategies in the next couple of months.

Kwik Trip Readies Compressed Gas Filling Station in La Crosse
La Crosse is about to join a small list of cities in the state with natural gas filling stations. Although there has yet to be an official announcement from Kwik Trip, we've heard from multiple sources that the company is working on adding a compressed natural gas filling station at its store on the corner of fifth and Cass in La Crosse. There's currently only 13 such filling stations throughout the state to fill the need of a small but growing number of cars on the road. There's approximately 10 million CNG cars around the world, but it's an extremely small segment of the automotive market in the states, even though cost to fuel the cars can be a third the cost of gas and diesel.
Will Barrett Run!
(AP) Democratic Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett says he will decide between March 30 and April 3 whether he will run against Gov. Scott Walker in a recall election. Barrett said that he wants to announce his intentions before the April 3 mayoral election. Barrett says he also wants to wait until after the state elections board meets on March 30 to vote on certifying the recall election. Democrats have been anxious to know Barrett's plans. Three other Democrats are already running. They are former Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk, state Sen. Kathleen Vinehout and Secretary of State Doug La Follette. Barrett lost to Walker in the 2010 election.
No Maps For You
(AP) A panel of federal judges has barred the state elections board from using new Republican-drawn election maps. The decision Thursday marks at least a partial victory for Democrats and a Hispanic-rights group who argued the maps hurt minority voters. The ruling says the new maps redrew two Milwaukee voting districts in a way that violates the Voting Rights Act. The ruling means the two specific districts will have to be redrawn. Critics of the new maps had said the boundaries divided minority blocs and disenfranchised voters. Supporters argued it's impossible to draw maps that please everyone. Election boundaries have to be redrawn every 10 years to account for changes in the most recent
Minnesota Adds More Jobs
(AP) New data from the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development show the state added 6,200 jobs in February. DEED Commissioner Mark Phillips says the state has now seen three straight months of ``strong job growth.'' DEED says the state has added 32,300 jobs in the last three months regaining more than half of the jobs that were lost during the recession. The state unemployment rate went up a tenth of a point in February to a seasonally adjusted 5.7 percent. The U.S. unemployment rate is unchanged at 8.3 percent. Most of the jobs came in education and health services. The government and construction sectors also added jobs, but the state saw losses in professional and business services.
Governor Fixes Warrens Snafu
Last year, the Department of Revenue admitted to an error that would have created a huge property tax increase for a Monroe County town's residents. Governor Scott Walker has seen to it that it won't happen. The Governor signed a bill, authored by State Senator Kathleen Vinehout and Senator Julie Lassa, that will permit the Village of Warrens to correct for an error made by the Department of Revenue in assessing the value of a TIF district. While the error would lower tax bills in the short term, the correction would result in a property tax increase of nearly 100 percent the following year. The bill permits temporary adjustments of levy limits to allow Warrens to even out tax levies over two years.

Remember Me
The ashes were reported to have been kept in a "pink teddy bear-shaped bag along with a lock of his hair" and were taken with some clothes and jewelry.
"I can't believe anyone would take Kurt's ashes from me." Love reportedly told the News of the World. "I find it disgusting and right now I'm suicidal."
Following Cobain's death in 1994 some of the Nirvana frontman's ashes were scattered near his home in Washington and some at a New York Buddhist temple, with his widow retaining the rest.
Love added: "They were all I had left of my husband. I used to take them everywhere with me just so I could feel Kurt was still with me. Now it feels like I have lost him all over again."
really courtney, you cant believe some one would steel kurts ashes from you when you obviously stole his life from us, you bitch.
hmmm how ironic, maybe she sold them and was too junked out to remember...
Ummmmmm.... His ashes are stolen from her LA home and a British tabloid breaks the story?
Something smacks of needing attention.
nice tpetty haha
i thought courtneyy killed him???
HAHAHAHHAHA thats so funny.
Im gunna steal jurts ashes..
haha what the fuck is that gunna prove.
and as in jurt i menat kurt
They're not missing...Courtney snorted them during a weekend long bender.
If the thief puts him in something more dignified than a "pink teddy bear-shaped bag" is this really a crime?
icculus2811 - does she have a new album coming out soon? I wouldn't put anything past courtney love in terms of publicity
I bet she sold them for crack.... and yes..... she did kill him. Straight up and cold blooded. F'ing biach.
I feel bad for her daughter, god I hope she is ok. My mom is a wack my dad was in a band and wrote music and was depressed and a junkie and blew a moon roof in his skull. Man come on Courtney I know your out of your head but you could have put them in a locket or something, a pink bear. Wow
redemption....... much ill will to you courtney, who directly or not, killed kurt....i personally was a huge kurt fan and started playing guitar because of him, i know the pain we all (fans) felt back in 1994....and then how you came out with an album of "your" material right afterwards....and how completely fake, unsupportive, and egotistical you were when kurt was going through all of that in 94...i mean really, was the album being released "on time" worth ignoring kurt? ....karma....you will eventually get exactly what you deserve and i hope i'm alive to see it
why didn't you just let him ditch nirvana, lallapalooza and all of it...$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$....greed.....too bad a sensitive soul got gobbled up by you!!!!! thanks jambase, please keep chronicalling her demise
is someone out there actually "pro" courtney?......what up with all the negative votes????
whoever is voting all these comments as "negative", lets hear your positive spin on courtney please.....
oh Courtney...you crazy bitch...but that is kind of funny
Just one more example of Jambase readers and ranters feeling they know all when it comes to anything involving artists to whom they feel even the thinnest of connections. Really, people, who are any of you to suggest you know even a thimble's load about what went on in Cobain's marriage or his head? I personally have no reason to stand up for Courtney, but what's the deal with all the think-they-know's piling up on her?
"I find it disgusting and right now I'm suicidal."
If this doesn't scream attention, I don't know what does. What a bitch. Waaaahhhh now I have to tell the entire world I'm suicidal waaaahhhhh
He definetly snorted the ashes. Keith richards snorted the ashes of his father. That is gangsta!
Keith Richards is one sneaky thief.
overall.....you obviously weren't a fan and paying much attention back in 1994 (and before)....it doesn't take a mental heavyweight to figure out courtney, even from just the stuff that's out there publically, let alone any investigations of her and her motives ...there's plenty out there journalistically about courtney that its not just "jambase readers and ranters feeling they know it all"......she always was and continues to be a self serving, greedy, uncaring witch of a human.....
"Really, people, who are any of you to suggest you know even a thimble's load about what went on in Cobain's marriage or his head?"
answer: read articles, magazines, and the such...courteny wasn't exactly private on any of this when it was going on....SHE actually hired a private investigator and he made alot of discoveries; but they weren't the discoveries that she had hoped for....lots of inconsistencies surrounding kurt's last few days.....he actually ended up turing on courtney and making all things public.......
so that's how i got my thimble's full of knowledge on it.....
of course you can say that i am just believing who i choose to believe....but aren't we all when it comes to the media....i mean who here even KNOWS he's dead...i mean none of us (presumably) saw the body at the time of death at the house above the garage live in person....we all saw it on tv and CHOSE to believe that account of things.....
she's a joke and deserves every bit of piling on that happens here and in life....i truly believe that she didn't pull the trigger but was responsible (in part) for his death....she was off recording an album for this whole time period when things were going really bad....she just wasn't there for him when he obviously needed it....for christ sakes, his "suicide letter" may have just been an "i'm leaving showbiz" letter....its not until a last page in WAY different handwriting that the "suicide letter" even mentions leaving this world (as opposed to just show biz).........read up overall.....i'll just assume you weren't a huge fan and were giving courtney the benfit of doubt......
Thank you, mystery angel.
Die, Courtney Love.
good lord....another way to make a few $$ for courtney.....ridiculous.. i mean if kurt were alive he'd use the shoes to piss in, he was so anti-establishment...half the reason he disbanded nirvana just before his death....and why he was cancelling lallapalooza....all the corporate bull...he would have never agreed to this...this is a courtney scheme
kurts death was a tragedy
go rent Kurt and Courtney
it wouldnt suprise me if she sold them
Yah, she probably couldnt get anyone to pay her to blow them anymore. I bet she sold them for meth or something.
Suicide is the most selfish act of any human being. Courtney is a straight-up bitch and Curt left his beautiful little daughter alone with her. What does this say about your hero?
It says to me he was a really f*cked up, depressed, sad, drug-addicted man with a child and a whore of a wife and the dust that used to be his body is somewhere away from that whore of a wife.
What does this say about your hero, sunnbear?
Selfishness abounds. I have no pity for people who kill themselves and leave children behind. Pathetic under any circumstance.
Hey, did you hear the Raconteurs were touring? Sweet!
if i recall correctly from the investigations of the PI that courtney hired, there was evidence that kurt was leaving nirvana (and the corporate scene), divorcing courtney, and taking francis bean with him (all accounts show he loved her very much and loved being a dad to her)....now if that were all true then the last few very negative comments about the selfishness of suicide wouldn't necessarily apply and that's why i won't attempt to defend suicide and selfishness.....i've tried to let it go as it can't be changed and i'm in no position to do anything about it directly, so i've released it to the universe....and stories like this make me think that was the right thing to do...
still , not all of us think he was being the irresponsible prick you describe...some really think there was foul play involved....
I stopped listening to Nirvana in the sixth grade. but sometimes i have to throw on that unplugged show. I think this is a shame
I hate commenting on other people's comments. But here's the deal. The first, maybe, three of you made interesting attacks against Courtney. The rest of you are so wrapped up in your own self-appointed intelligence and anti-conformity that you felt it necessary to restate what everyone else had said. If it bothers you that much, go write a song about it. Why does any website need 30 comments in a row all saying the same thing? Get over yourselves.
The bottom line is that, if this is true, it's a complete tragedy and display of horrid disrespect to any human life, let alone those of person who influenced so many people in a relatively positive way. Whether Courtney has is an addict or not, her dispair for the disappearance of Kurt's ashes are deserved. Who are you all to say that, in the event that it's true, she's a bitch and should die? Get over your bitterness and your speculation unless you've got genuine proof of her guilt - not a blog or a website or a single article that uses the word "allegedly."
God save the artists.
You can totally tell from that picture of Kurt that he's pissed that someone stole his ashes.
i am not and never have been a nirvana fan, but i respect what kurt did to and for music...i never was a courtney love fan, but i do not think that she is as horrible as everyone here is making her out to be...you were not there, you dont know how her life was with kurt or how they really felt about each other and about life...other than that, i believe cola21 said it best, so i wont go any further
i guess i will go further...this is supposed to be about kurt, not courtney...dont comment about her...she is worthless, so lets focus on the talent, not the shrew
What a Stupid CUNT. "now i'm suicidal", or smacked out of my mind and lost the ashes somewhere!
not a huge deal, i don't think he'll be forgotten. courtney lovbe might have beenif it werent for stories like these involving kurt's remains, perhaps now she will finally fade the fuck away being as she has no talent to speak of.
weezer has a new album out. are they not cool enough to be reviewed on jambase. i guess roger waters missing pig, kurts missing ashes, and any fuckin move trey anastasio makes are taking up all the writers. hey jambase get your head out of your ass
black market value of deceased musicians ashes?? hmmmmmmmmm....
Kurt isn't dead...he's living on a human/kangaroo hybrid farm in central Australia, along with Morrisson, Garcia, Janis and Jimi. They're trying to produce a creature that can run faster, jump higher and shred more guitar than the average human OR kangaroo. I thought everyone had this information by now...y'all must have missed the memo.
Just dispicable that anyone would steal another human beings ashes from their widow . . .
Weezer??? File Weezer (together with this story) in the warehouse of shit I really don;t care about.
wtf...oke doke then...courtney sucks,i don't like her...but for the ashes whoever did what with them is stupid
I don't like Courtney. She be shady...
If there is an "Top Ashes" hit list, Kurt was on it. Maybe she should have kept his ashes in a safer place...like with her PCP, and she would still have them. DUMB-E
""I find it disgusting and right now I'm suicidal."
"Medicated, drama queen, picture perfect, numb belligerence
Narcissistic, drama queen, craving fame and all its decadence..
If you choose to pull the trigger, should your drama prove sincere,
Do it somewhere far away from here
I'm gonna have to second the notion that she snorted them. The real tragedy here is that his ashes didnt kill her.
Miss you KC :(...
this story has been confirmed as a false rumor.
Has anyone checked craigslist or ebay for a "pink teddy bear-shaped bag" yet? If someone is this crazy to steal someone's ashes, they might try to sell them.
Dude, you just got PuNkEd...
courtney is a poser...
has there bin any re post about whats going on with this. or did courntey be like keith richards and snort the ashes?!?!?!?!?!!?
Good, I'd rather his ashes be in anyone's hands besides that lying, money-grubbing, fake, miserable whore excuse for a human.
I'm all busted up for fugging courtney love, that bitch sold him out like stock, publishing his privite journals was the worst. She is a junkie who got ripped off. Kurt will long be honored and respected, trash like her always gets taken out sooner or later.
keith richards snorted his ashes.
SCI Sucks!

"We started off, probably had some of the best moisture we've had at planting time, and got everything up. Everything got off to a good start. And then it got dry, and drier, and drier."
Joe Wilder farms in Burleson County and said they'd planned on irrigating everything they could.
"We got to the point where we had to quit something, so we quit our milo and went to our beans with the intention of coming back and doing our milo, and we never got back. It's just one of those years when everything hit us at once. Once we got behind, we never could catch up."
Wilder says given this year's weather, crops are in pretty good shape.
"Naturally, if we could have gotten one rain, one timely rain, they would have been a lot better, but as dry as it's been, we're tickled with what we're harvesting. Some of the corn is up. Some of it's down. It just depends on your location."
Sometimes yields are hard to predict.
"This field we're standing in hadn't been watered this year at all. It's surprising. One right across the turn row from us cut real good, and it really shocked us. I was expecting about half of what we normally cut. We're running about a thousand to fifteen hundred pounds less on dry land."
Commodity prices are up, but so are crop inputs.
"Our fuel, our fertilize, chemicals, everything that we purchase has just skyrocketed this year, and with the price of the commodities, I think we'll be about where we are normally. I don't think we'll make any more."
Mother Nature and economic circumstances can create obstacles that are hard to hurdle.
"It's just one of those deals that, everything hasn't worked like it's supposed to."
But there's always a chance of hitting that home run with that next crop, and that's what keeps a lot of folks in production agriculture in business one more year.

The experimental shot is the most advanced candidate vaccine for malaria but results from previous trials have been disappointing. Research published in 2012 showed the shot only reduced malaria cases by about 30 percent in babies aged six to 12 weeks, the target age for immunization. The vaccine, known as RTS,S, seems to work better in older children but its efficacy faded over time.
In a statement on Thursday, GSK said its vaccine is aimed only for use against the malaria parasite most prevalent in Africa.
There is currently no licensed vaccine for malaria. The parasitic disease is spread by mosquitoes and kills about 650,000 people every year, mostly in Africa.
