Nano-honeycomb structured transparent electrode for enhanced light extraction from organic light-emitting diodes106(2015); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4922040View Description Hide Description
A universal nano-sphere lithography method has been developed to fabricate nano-structured transparent electrode, such as indium tin oxide (ITO), for light extraction from organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Perforated SiO2 film made from a monolayer colloidal crystal of polystyrene spheres and tetraethyl orthosilicate sol-gel is used as a template. Ordered nano-honeycomb pits on the ITO electrode surface are obtained by chemical etching. The proposed method can be utilized to form large-area nano-structured ITO electrode. More than two folds' enhancement in both current efficiency and power efficiency has been achieved in a red phosphorescent OLED which was fabricated on the nano-structured ITO substrate.
Nanosecond pump and probe observation of bimolecular exciton effects in rubrene single crystals106(2015); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4922047View Description Hide Description
Transient grating pump and probe experiments are used to investigate excitonic processes on the nanosecond time scale in rubrene single crystals. We find that bimolecular interactions cause a photoinduced excited state density on the order of 0.5 × 1020 cm−3—corresponding to an average distance of ∼3 nm between individual states—to decrease by a factor of 2 after 2 ns, following a typical power-law decay. We assign the observed power-law decays to high-density interactions between excited states. Because of the high efficiency singlet exciton fission observed in rubrene, these bimolecular interactions are likely those between triplet excitons or between coherent quantum superpositions of a singlet and a pair of triplet-excitons.
Broadband absorption enhancement in organic solar cells with an antenna layer through surface-plasmon mediated energy transfer106(2015); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4922191View Description Hide Description
We demonstrated a strategy to realize broadband enhanced absorption in the top-incident inverted organic solar cells (OSCs) by employing an external antenna layer on top of the periodic corrugated metallic anode. Surface-plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are excited on the opposite interfaces of the periodic corrugated metallic anode, which mediate the energy transfer from the antenna layer to the active layer through the anode. The absorption of the OSCs is significantly broadened and enhanced by tuning the SPP resonance to coincide with both the emission of the antenna and the absorption of the active material. The power conversion efficiency exhibits an enhancement of 16% compared to that of the OSCs without the antenna layer.
Low-voltage polymer/small-molecule blend organic thin-film transistors and circuits fabricated via spray deposition106(2015); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4922194View Description Hide Description
Organic thin-film electronics have long been considered an enticing candidate in achieving high-throughput manufacturing of low-power ubiquitous electronics. However, to achieve this goal, more work is required to reduce operating voltages and develop suitable mass-manufacture techniques. Here, we demonstrate low-voltage spray-cast organic thin-film transistors based on a semiconductor blend of 2,8-difluoro- 5,11-bis (triethylsilylethynyl) anthradithiophene and poly(triarylamine). Both semiconductor and dielectric films are deposited via successive spray deposition in ambient conditions (air with 40%–60% relative humidity) without any special precautions. Despite the simplicity of the deposition method, p-channel transistors with hole mobilities of >1 cm2/Vs are realized at −4 V operation, and unipolar inverters operating at −6 V are demonstrated.
Hole mobility in thermally evaporated pentacene: Morphological and directional dependence106(2015); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4922422View Description Hide Description
Pentacene has been extensively studied as an active material for organic field-effect transistors as it shows very good charge carrier mobility along its preferred transport direction. In this contribution, we investigate the hole transport in pentacene thin films by measurement in conventional lateral organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), which yields the hole mobility along the a-b plane of pentacene, and by the recently published potential mapping (POEM) approach, which allows for direct extraction of the charge carrier mobility perpendicular to the substrate, in this case perpendicular to the a-b plane, without the assumption of a specific transport model. While the mobility along the a-b plane—determined from OFET measurements—is found to be in the region of 0.45 cm2/Vs, transport perpendicular to this plane shows an average mobility at least one order of magnitude lower. Investigating also how these effective mobility values depend on the deposition rate of the pentacene films, we find that the decrease in grain size for increasing deposition rate causes the mobility to decrease both parallel and perpendicular to the substrate due to the increased number of grain boundaries to be overcome. For the out-of-plane transport, this effect is found to saturate for deposition rates higher than 2.5 Å/s.
The influence of amino group on PCDTBT-based and P3HT-based polymer solar cells: Hole trapping processes106(2015); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4922467View Description Hide Description
Polymer solar cells (PSCs) based on aliphatic-amino-functionalized materials presented low performance with negligibly small efficiency, the prime mechanism of which is found to be hole trapping induced by the amine end groups. We propose that such hole trapping behavior depends on the relative energetic position of the hole transport states and the trapping states. Herein, we comparatively study the photovoltaic properties of PSCs based on amino-functionalized fullerene derivative blended with poly [N-9′-heptadecanyl-2, 7-carbazole-alt-5, 5-(4′, 7′-di-2-thienyl-2′, 1′, 3′-benzothiadiazole)] (PCDTBT) or poly (3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT). The former polymer has a lower-positioning highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) level, whereas the latter has a comparable HOMO level relative to the ionization state of tertiary aliphatic amine in energy. Our investigation confirms our proposition, revealing an ultrafast trapping process in PCDTBT:amino-group-functionalized fullerene derivative film, which seriously crippled hole transport, consequently results in very poor device performance. In contrast, trapping process is almost negligible in P3HT systems.
Nanochannel effect in polymer nanowire transistor with highly aligned polymer chains106(2015); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4922377View Description Hide Description
We established a process to develop well-defined polymer nanowire transistors made of liquid-crystalline semiconducting poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene-alt-bithiophene) (F8T2). Nano-scaled channels have been fabricated in gate insulator layers of SiO2 using a lithography technique. The nanochannels offer templates for forming polymer nanowires in which polymer chains are uniaxially aligned along the nanochannels through a nano-confinement effect. In addition, this process prevents the occurrence of serious damage during the inevitable etching process that is used to separate the nanowires from each other. We examined the electrical properties and polymeric chain alignment of F8T2 nanowires. Nanowire transistors exhibited carrier mobilities of 3.5 and 2.8 × 10−3 cm2/Vs for 54 and 130 nm wide nanowires, respectively. The carrier mobilities were about three times larger than that of a thin film transistor. Polarized UV-vis absorption analysis clarified that the improved carrier mobility can be attributed to the enhanced polymer chain alignment in the nanochannels. This approach has great potential as regards improving device performance, downsizing, and the large-scale integration of nanowire transistors with various kinds of device configurations.
Efficient organic solar cells using copper(I) iodide (CuI) hole transport layers106(2015); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4922758View Description Hide Description
We report the fabrication of high power conversion efficiency (PCE) polymer/fullerene bulk heterojunction (BHJ) photovoltaic cells using solution-processed Copper (I) Iodide (CuI) as hole transport layer (HTL). Our devices exhibit a PCE value of ∼5.5% which is equivalent to that obtained for control devices based on the commonly used conductive polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): polystyrenesulfonate as HTL. Inverted cells with PCE >3% were also demonstrated using solution-processed metal oxide electron transport layers, with a CuI HTL evaporated on top of the BHJ. The high optical transparency and suitable energetics of CuI make it attractive for application in a range of inexpensive large-area optoelectronic devices.
Printable organic thin film transistors for glucose detection incorporating inkjet-printing of the enzyme recognition element106(2015); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4923397View Description Hide Description
The effect of device architecture upon the response of printable enzymatic glucose sensors based on poly(3-hexythiophene) (P3HT) organic thin film transistors is presented. The change in drain current is used as the basis for glucose detection and we show that significant improvements in drain current response time can be achieved by modifying the design of the sensor structure. In particular, we show that eliminating the dielectric layer and reducing the thickness of the active layer reduce the device response time considerably. The results are in good agreement with a diffusion based model of device operation, where an initial rapid dedoping process is followed by a slower doping of the P3HT layer from protons that are enzymatically generated by glucose oxidase (GOX) at the Nafion gate electrode. The fitted diffusion data are consistent with a P3HT doping region that is close to the source-drain electrodes rather than located at the P3HT:[Nafion:GOX] interface. Finally, we demonstrate that further improvements in sensor structure and morphology can be achieved by inkjet-printing the GOX layer, offering a pathway to low-cost printed biosensors for the detection of glucose in saliva.
Quantum efficiency harmonic analysis of exciton annihilation in organic light emitting diodes106(2015); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4923471View Description Hide Description
Various exciton annihilation processes are known to impact the efficiency roll-off of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs); however, isolating and quantifying their contribution in the presence of other factors such as changing charge balance continue to be a challenge for routine device characterization. Here, we analyze OLED electroluminescence resulting from a sinusoidal dither superimposed on the device bias and show that nonlinearity between recombination current and light output arising from annihilation mixes the quantum efficiency measured at different dither harmonics in a manner that depends uniquely on the type and magnitude of the annihilation process. We derive a series of analytical relations involving the DC and first harmonic external quantum efficiency that enable annihilation rates to be quantified through linear regression independent of changing charge balance and evaluate them for prototypical fluorescent and phosphorescent OLEDs based on the emitters 4-(dicyanomethylene)-2-methyl-6-(4-dimethylaminostyryl)-4H-pyran and platinum octaethylporphyrin, respectively. We go on to show that, in most cases, it is sufficient to calculate the needed quantum efficiency harmonics directly from derivatives of the DC light versus current curve, thus enabling this analysis to be conducted solely from standard light-current-voltage measurement data.

Examinations of Criminal Responsibility: Foundations in Mental Health Case Law
Gottschalk, Jack A., Journal of Psychiatry & Law
Examinations of Criminal Responsibility: Foundations in Mental Health Case Law, by Richard I. Frederick, David F, Mrad and Richard I. DeMier (Sarasota, FL: Professional Resource Press, 2007), 292 pp., $39.95.
These three authors, all with Ph.D.s in Clinical Psychology and Certified in Forensic Psychology by the American Board of Professional Psychology have produced a reader-friendly book that will be helpful to mental health professionals as they study the issue of insanity and its impact on criminal justice.
What the authors have succeeded in doing is to take a look at the issue of how the courts, going back to Arnold (1724), Hadfield (1800), and M'Naughten (1843), have wrestled with the problem of seeking a balance between criminal responsibility and claims of insanity.
The authors have examined 22 cases in this research journey in order to provide a reasonably clear understanding of what insanity means in the criminal justice system.
The history of how the courts have attempted to achieve that delicate balance begins with Arnold, the famous case in which Justice Tracy held that in order to escape punishment for a crime the defendant had to have the lack of understanding akin to that of a wild beast. In Hadfield, where the defendant had attempted to kill the king, it was held that the defendant had met the wild beast test. The authors note that the key difference in the cases was that in the former the defendant acted pro se while in the latter there was excellent defense counsel.
The last of the three cases that the authors used as a foundational basis for the book was M'Naughten where the defendant successfully interposed a defense of not guilty by reason of insanity. The standard for an insanity defense was propounded as a result of that case and has come to us some 160 years later as the most prevalent insanity defense in the United States.
Following M'Naughton, the authors examined cases where the court had to deal with the question of what constitutes mental disease as, for example, in Pike v. New Hampshire (1810) where it was decided that insanity without expert testimony should not be considered a product of alcoholism. Also examined was Parsons v. Alabama (1886) where the court had to deal with the problem of irresistible impulse.
Any examination of the insanity defense must, of course, inevitably include relevant applications of the Constitution. The authors reviewed a number of federal cases as part of their research. These cases included Powell v. Texas (1968) where the Supreme Court resisted the creation of an insanity defense set in constitutional terms. The decision rendered in Finger v. Nevada (2001) where the Supreme Court held that the insanity defense was a constitutional right was also reviewed. …

NEW YORK - MARCH 11: Cashmere Wright #1 of the Cincinnati Bearcats reacts late in the game against the West Virginia Mountaineers during the quarterfinal of the 2010 NCAA Big East Tournament at Madison Square Garden on March 11, 2010 in New York City. (Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images)
Cincinnati is undefeated and coming off a victory over its archrival, but coach Mick Cronin and his players know there is plenty of room for improvement. The No. 11 Bearcats hope to avoid a letdown Saturday and continue their dominance over visiting Wright State, which is trying for a season-high fourth consecutive victory. Cincinnati (11-0) averages 80.9 points but is paced by a traditionally strong defense that's holding opponents to 57.6 points on 34.8 percent shooting. The Bearcats beat city rival Xavier 60-45 in the annual Crosstown Classic on Wednesday after last season's matchup was marred by a brawl at the end of the game. Cincinnati avenged that 76-53 defeat by holding the banged-up Musketeers to 37.7 percent shooting, including 2 of 13 from 3-point range, and forcing 15 turnovers. Sean Kilpatrick had 25 points, seven rebounds and four steals and Cashmere Wright added 15 points, six boards and four assists. However, the Bearcats shot 9 of 36 (25.0 percent) in the first half...

So, got tired of riding the desk and looked outside checked the weather 71 degrees and sunny,I'm outta here. Welcome to Tony Grove.
This area borders on the Mt. Naomi Wilderness Area. Very nice and cool, after a hot summer.
Just clinging to life...
When my son was a little shaver about 20 years back, we went for a sunrise hike and had two bull moose, big boys, walk up on us right here at this spillway, as we were watching the sunrise. We watched very quietly, and me hoping they wouldn't come and stomp the gut's out of us. We had no good exit, so we sat there for about 40 minutes watching them strip the willow leaves off, one after another. Now just a fond memory as that little shaver is now 6' 5" and looks down on me. He's one of very few guys guys that can make a BRP look like a mini bike.

Triumph of the Numbers
Signing off last night, Brian Williams on NBC said something about how the presidential election defied the very idea of prognostication. All night the result was characterized as a surprise, which makes sense given how often television analysts before the election described this race as a toss-up, or too close to call.
Last night was the first time I'd watched any television news since Obama's 2008 win and it was a good reminder why. Tuesday morning I searched for election predictions, and came up with 11 sites that crunched the numbers and made predictions1. All 11 predicted an Obama victory. One of the 11 expected Obama to lose Colorado, and two expected him to lose Virginia, but the rest were up in the air only about Florida (which was genuinely too close to call).
There was, in the run-up, a fair bit of criticism of such predictions, focused mostly on Nate Silver, who runs the FiveThirtyEight blog, but in the end, the criticism came exclusively from the few people who really did predict a Romney victory—people like Karl Rove or Dick Morris, who weren't making predictions, but were advocating.
Romney bizarrely waited an hour and a half to concede after every major news outlet had called the election, and on Fox News, Karl Rove made the case for waiting, arguing that Ohio was still in play. This election was over weeks ago, and any honest look at the polls—where day after day, Obama was ahead in virtually every poll in all the so-called "battleground" states—would tell us that. Florida, Virginia and Ohio could have been called as early as 7:30 p.m. PST, when I (and the number crunchers on TV) could plainly see the remaining uncounted votes were going to come in big for Obama.
That's not to say the networks should have called the election earlier, or that anyone needed to say Romney couldn't win two weeks ago (though it is striking that as of this writing CNN still hasn't called Florida). It's just to point out one of the most frustrating and effective things about Republican politics these days, which is that conservatives assert things over and over in concert, in hopes that given enough repetition, these assertions will become facts. They don't, but unfortunately, in the name of "balance," and with a startling lack of intellectual ability from our public political class, our news outlets often create, at a minimum, the idea that the truth is unknown. One of the good things about elections is, the answer is knowable, eventually. In most other cases, we never get such finality, or, in instances like with climate change (or WMDs in Iraq), when we finally do it may be too late.
Triumph of the Hotel Workers
In contrast to national elections, local races are much harder to predict. There's virtually no polling and a race can be turned with a small number of votes. UNITE HERE Local 11 turned that into an advantage last night, putting resources into two key races and winning big in both.
In Long Beach hotel workers won Measure N, which creates a $13-an-hour living wage for hotel workers in that city. This is only the second such ballot measure to pass in the nation, and the first was in tiny Emeryville. For all the talk of the ground game nationally, this is the real ground game, as hundreds of people walked precincts and made calls. UNITE HERE has been one of the most critical unions in politics here in LA for the past 20 years, putting more people on the streets in most elections than anyone else, and it paid off huge.
Less noticed, perhaps, is the Santa Monica City Council race. Local 11 was a big player in Santa Monica a decade ago, but hadn't been as involved until last year, when new hotels began to move forward through the council process, and Local 11 realized it didn't have the support of the council to ensure workers at these hotels would have the right to organize. Last spring they won agreement at one hotel when they began to referendize an approved project, and this fall they invested money in mail and walkers for the first time in several election cycles. Local 11 endorsed four candidates, and walked with a message about a pending hotel project. All four candidates won, despite opposition from a local hotel and a business coalition.
Triumph in L.A.?
Local elections are happening in just a few months for many city council seats and the mayor's race here in Los Angeles. The mayor and the council are labor supporters, generally, but in the past few years have tried to find ways to distance themselves from unions.
It's worth mentioning that the County Federation of Labor's ground game was pretty spectacular as well, and brought home huge victories for Proposition 30 and against Proposition 32 (though sadly, Measure J fell short of the two-thirds requirement it needed to pass).
One hopes the results in places like Santa Monica and Los Angeles, and on Props. 30 & 32, are a good reminder to candidates in the coming races that when labor puts boots on the ground, it can turn elections. I can predict with absolute certainly that Local 11 and the Fed will have quite a few boots come spring.

"My favourite models in the industry are the Delevingne sisters. Cara Delevingne is absolutely stunning and a great model. She has been so successful and I just love her work. She is also starting up a career into acting which I also aspire to do. I love her Burberry campaigns. Poppy was a guest judge on the show and she was so lovely and beautiful, so definitely an idol."
"My worst moment was being in the bottom two, just the realisation that the experience could all be over as quickly as clicking your fingers."
"I definitely plan to continue modelling, for me this is only the start. I hope to be a successful commercial model, the sky is the limit! I was recently involved in a music video for up and coming music artists U.A., and the director of the music video said I took direction well and would make a good actress, so I would like to explore into acting as well."
"My worst shoot was definitely the tarantulas! I am not a fan of spiders and did not enjoy the company of three of them crawling all over my face/body."
"My least favourite judge was Whitney. Sometimes she can be very opinionated, but she seemed to have a grudge against me from the start so her opinion of me was mainly negative. She always brought up that I had no personality, but considering I didnt actually speak to her throughout the show for more than two minutes, I dont know how she could form such a strong opinion about my personality."
"The best moment was when Elle stood in front of all twenty of us in the warehouse and announced we were going to Dubai. The experience suddenly became real and I was so excited to know what was in store."
"I would love a fashion campaign with Burberry. I would also absolutely love to get a hair commercial!"
"The judges were great, most comments were constructive and I respect opinions of people with so much experience. My favourite was Julien, I loved him from watching him on previous series, hes very funny and he is an amazing designer. I think he was a great judge and because he is Welsh, I feel like he warmed to me from the start."
"My favourite shoot was the one at Niagara falls - shooting at such a beautiful location will probably be a once in a lifetime experience for me. I doubt I will ever return there for a shoot. I feel so privileged to have worked there, the styling was fab and I loved my hair and make-up. I just felt like the water sent a calmness through me!"

32 year old man | Depew, NY, USA | Seeking women 25-35 within 30 miles
Active within 24 hours
I just want a woman that appreciates the respect, curtsey and civility I show them, and my refinement... a killer caboose would be nice too
What am I looking for? I'm ok with taking things slow, but I'm looking for something serious. I'm not needy and would like someone with a bit of independence (that being said I'm done with games... If I have to guess whether or not you're still interested, I'm going to be guessing no and moving on). I'd like a nice smile and good laugh (not just nice but frequent, I joke a lot and love to laugh and make people laugh). One of the factors I used when buying my house (not a big one but it came up in my decision I can't lie) was renovation potential in case of zombie apocalypse. Having someone that can at least accept and tolerate that nerdy part of me would be wonderful (it does have it's advantages... unfortunately they mostly revolve around surviving a zombie apocalypse but still there are others). There are three stories I think best sum up the type of person I am. Last year I went to my best friend's wedding in DC. The night before we all go out for the bachelor party with 0 preparations. We were all coming in from out of town and the groom couldn't care less so we winged it. Had we read the full yelp review, or even glanced at the second one, we would have easily realized what we noticed in 5 seconds and what it took my friend Adam almost a full minute to put together. Between the half-naked cowboy poster advertising "rodeo night", the rainbow bunting, and Barbie dolls lining the top shelf of the bar it was pretty obvious this might not be what we were looking for. After we finished laughing at how long Adam was in denial, we obviously decided to stick it out and had a blast (didn't have to pay for drinks, good music for karaoke, and the cleanest bathroom I've ever seen in a bar). The highlight came when I tried to get an announcement made from my friend. Not only did it take a full minute to convince the bartender he was marrying a woman, but the first thing heard after the announcement was a guy at the bar saying quite loudly "He's marrying a woman? Yea right". When I say I can have a good time doing anything as long as I have the right people around, I'm really not lying. I don't care what we do or what comes up, life is too short not to laugh your way through it. A few years ago my neighbor asked me for a smoke. He was a nice guy, in his 80's on oxygen, had run out and couldn't make it to the corner store to buy a pack. I ask him if he likes the brand, and when he says yes I reach into my bag and hand him a carton saying "leave $30 in my mailbox when you get a chance. Let me know if you need more". I'm not the kind of person to tell and 80 year old dude how to live his life, and I'd also expect someone to do the same thing for my father if they see it. I don't volunteer overseas, or donate to charities which keep more than half of the donation; I give to my friends and family when they need help. I help the guy on the corner, or the lady struggling to load her car. Charity is about helping people, not supporting causes. The last show I acted in, I was in a recreation of the Chris Farley/Patrick Swazey Chippendales routine from SNL. Me being me, I felt just copying the bit was not quite enough, and decided to add in tear away pants and Bikini Briefs. I'm a LOT better looking then I was then, so when I say I don't have any issues with my body I mean that. Not saying looks don't matter, but I've found sex appeal is more about the right attitude then anything else. P.S. I've lost close to 120 lbs over the last two years, and unfortunately don't have many recent pictures. I've still got 15 or so to go before I can call myself "in shape" with a straight face, however I'm more then comfortable with average, especially for buffalo.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By James Swift, campaignlive.co.uk, Wednesday, 06 November 2013 04:29PM
AnalogFolk saw off competition from undisclosed agencies to win the brief to handle Chivas Regal's global digital creative, as well as its social media activity.
AnalogFolk's London office will lead on the account, with support from the agency's offices in the US and Australia. AnalogFolk already works with Pernod Ricard brands Malibu, Luksusowa, Kahlua and Wyborowa.
Evolution Bureau was Chivas Regal's incumbent global digital agency, and won the account in a contested pitch in 2012.
A spokesman for Evolution Bureau said the agency resigned the account but declined to comment on the fate of the London team that was established to service the brand.
Havas Worldwide handles Chivas Regal's advertising and will work with AnalogFolk on integrated projects, as will Ketchum, the brand's PR agency.
Richard Black, Chivas Regal's global brand director, said: "This is an important development in our digital plans for 2014.
"During the digital review process we were impressed with AnalogFolk's strategic thinking and innovative creative ideas. We look forward to working closely together to make these ideas a reality."

Dunn Post-ASB RC/27: 5.74
Dunn Career RC/27: 6.88
Griffey Pre-ASB RC/27: 5.52
Griffey Post-ASB RC/27: 4.27
Griffey Career RC/27: 7.81
Phillips Pre-ASB RC/27: 5.95
Phillips Post-ASB RC/27: 3.96
Phillips Career RC/27: 3.91
Hatteberg Pre-ASB RC/27: 7.76
Hatteberg Post-ASB RC/27: 4.96
Hatteberg Career RC/27: 5.34
So we have two players (Phillips and Hatteberg) returning to their career norms, one player (Dunn) who just slumped, and then one player (Griffey) whose decline should be well-known and well-prepared for considering that he's nearly 37-years-old. If your offense is dependent on Ken Griffey, Jr. being a younger version of Ken Griffey, Jr., then prepare for disappointment. David Ross also fits the Phillips/Hatteberg grouping in that he returned to career norms after the All-Star Break, but you didn't mention him so I'll leave him out.
The problem for Wayne Krivsky is three out of those four post-ASB scenarios (Phillips, Hatteberg and Griffey) should not only have been well-known, but expected and accounted for as the Reds headed into the second half of the season. Of those four, only Dunn's slump can be excluded from what Krivsky should have known was very possible to happen and Krivsky gets a pass on Dunn.
What that all means is if Krivsky was correctly calculating likely scenarios, he'd have known there was a great chance to see a drop in offense due simply to certain players regressing to their career norms.
On the other side of the coin, if Krivsky was counting on career years to continue for Phillips/Hatteberg or Griffey returning to his old self, then he grossly miscalculated. This means any decision to trade away other offensive weapons outside those players who were expected to regress becomes another miscalculation for him when predicting run scoring for the final three months.
If Wayne Krivsky is attempting to reach the playoffs and making transactions in an attempt to reach the playoffs, then he needs to know how many runs his active roster should score/allow over the final three months with reasonable statistical expectations and projections. Relying on players such as Hatteberg and Phillips to continue to over-perform their projections to save offensive production is not a reasonable projection. Those types of projections are what leads to bad decisions in player transactions.
As we know, offensive weapons were dealt away, players who remained in the lineup did regress to their career norms, players who were known to be bad (Royce Clayton) were given playing time, and the combined result is a net loss of 0.70 runs per game. As I stated earlier, really only Dunn's slump is a free pass for Krivsky, and it can be argued that Aurilia's unexpected hot surge offsets Dunn's slump.
Don't get me wrong, I do not at all believe offensive run production of 5+ runs per game would have continued had we not traded away Kearns/Lopez, however, I do believe that we'd have had better offensive production than merely 4.30 runs per game. Also, with or without this trade, I do not believe this team makes the playoffs, either.
I've long said that I had no qualms at all to trading away Kearns and/or Lopez so long as we received a return that gave us positive gains in our run differential. Ultimately, the final miscalculation Krivsky made, and the overall worst calculation, was the return since it was nowhere near projected to give us positive gains in our run differential, and not surprisingly it hasn't given us positive gains in our run differential. That's not just a problem this season, but going forward into 2007 and beyond.

TravelPod Member ReviewsPremier Inn Heathrow Airport - Bath Road Hounslow
One of my favourite premier inns.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
We stayed here the night before a flight to SE Asia and this was a very wise decision to make. We were checked in quickly and efficiently and our room was of a good quality (as you expect for Premier Inn). Sound proofing on the room was good and you wouldn't know you were right next door to a Heathrow. We had planned to go out to eat but changed our mind at last minute to use the in-house Thyme restaurant. The food was a good quality and of a pub-style range; prices were reasonable for London.
Just one note of caution: don't be fooled into the Hoppa Bus service: we used the public bus from straight outside the hotel directly into the Airport Bus Terminal and this costs at least 50% less than the Hoppa service price and was just as quick.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
Excellent location, staff, and food in the restaurant would def stay again.
Purple parking next door if driving.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
Very nice hotel in an excellent location at the side of the runway however the noise insulation was excellent. Room was very nice with a large king bed and 2 singles for the kids. The bar and restaurant looked nice even though we didn't use them. The only bad point was £10 parking which I would have preferred to be included in advertised rate.

Mark Ronson is such a playboy! He recently sat down for an interview and talked about how he's been propositioned for sex a lot in his day, but he's very picky.
He goes on to say, "I'm not the sort of producer that shags
every artist he works with. I've had enough offers, but I'm very picky."
And it just gets better! He then says, "I've said no to a very famous,
white, bland and very boring English soul chick, whom shall remain
But the interviewer wasn't content with that, and needed a name,
which Mark eventually gave up….Joss Stone! He must really have beef with her to sell her out like that!
Don't worry, Joss, we think you're anything but bland!

We have 1 beautiful cream male left out of a litter of 6. Born April 26, 2015 and ready to go to his new home any time after June 19th. He is a confident boy who LOVES to play. We adore our pets, especially our puppies. They are family raised and we have mom and dad. We love our puppies and they MUST go to a loving home where they will NOT be left home alone for long periods of time. Havanese are intelligent, loyal, loving, affectionate, playful and not yappy dogs. They are hypoallergenic and do not shed. If you don't know the breed, I would encourage you to research Havanese before considering. They are WONDERFUL family pets. They are raised with my two small children and 4 other dogs so they are very well socialized. They come with their first set of shots and both mom and dad are ACA registered. Dad comes from a show quality line as well. Please call or text to 973-945-9165. I' more than happy to send you more photos and/or video. Thank you! Kim

The presence of a fire elemental here in Coldridge is no small matter. That earthquake did more than just upset a bunch of troggs... it changed the world enough to tear a gash into the elemental plane. We should submit a report to Ironforge.
You wouldn't be willing to take a trip, would ya? Don't worry, I've a feeling you'll do just fine. Talk to Hands Springsprocket by the tunnel on the eastern edge of the valley. He'll point you in the right direction.
Rewards Edit

We'd like to introduce you to Eagle Point Golf Course's new website. It was a pleasure working with Eagle Point Golf Pro Patrick Oropallo and owner/GM Sue Galpin. In creating the new design we felt the need to capture the beauty of the course through photographs. A slide show and rotating pictures was a must to showcase as much as the courses beauty as we could. Patrick wanted to keep the content simple and most importantly something that was easy to edit, update and keep fresh. Designing the website on Word Press architecture allows ... Read More
Always Be Willing To Learn
Life is all about learning, and if you are not learning then you are not living. Paradux Media Group has grown immensely over the past 18 months, consistently adding new features and departments so our clients can truly have an all-in-one advertising agency. With the explosion of social media and all the other marketing possibilities that now exist it has not been easy. The one aspect that we had not really sharpened our tools for and had other services handle was SEO (Search Engine Optimization). Therefore, I decided to take on the ... Read More
No Tiger Means Twitter Stream Instead of Talking Heads
photo credit: Brian J. McDermott It is the eve of the US open. As a society we seem to have a fascination with knocking people off of their pedestal, gawking at a car accident, seeing a train wreck, which is exactly what the US Open tends to do. Men who make the game look so easy week in and week out will be brought to their knees this week. With the USGA's goal of the greens running at 14, it will be much like putting in your bathtub and trying to stop the ball short of the drain. In the past my golf game has benefitted from watching ... Read More
Putting and Advertising Both Can Drive You Nuts.
There are many life comparisons that can be drawn to golf, advertising is one. I am happy with most of my golf game; my ball striking has never been better, lessons from our pro certainly helped with that. Last year I began to lose confidence with my putter. It began last fall with the club championship, and then compounded itself this winter when trying to defend my match play championship I never once heard the sound of the ball landing in the cup. Ousted in the first round, ouch! I thought the stroke would appear this spring, but NO. ... Read More
Oregon Custom Carts Web Design
Oregon Custom Carts needed a web design to show off the fun and unusual custom golf carts that they build for clients. The website needed to rely heavily on images in order to communicate the unusual golf carts that are available. Since each cart is custom built, the web design did not need a shopping cart designed into it, but it did need to describe each different type of cart with both words and images. We were able to create a website that does just that - and shares a little bit of the personality of the owner. Naturally, the color ... Read More
Finally A Birdie For The PGA With Social Media
For 13 years the PGA Tour was a bit like the Facebook of sports. Not because they were innovative or cutting edge hell they wouldn't even allow you to enter with your cell phone to one of their events, no it's because they had Tiger Woods. Who for the most part of 13 years was about as powerful and influential as Facebook is today. To attract new fans the PGA is now allowing you to bring in your cell phone, as long as it's on mute or vibrate kind of a no brainer! While the golfers and the old guard will talk about how distracting it is ... Read More
Fine Tune your Social Media Like your Golf Game
Social Media is nothing more than communication. There will always be certain individuals who are naturally better and more talented than others at communicating. Social media, like life offers several different forms to communicate in. It is important to play in as many different forms as you can, some will be more suited and others a little more difficult to your way of communicating. It's not much different than the game of golf. Golf is made up of three distinct different elements. There is how you perform from the tee box, your ... Read More
Eagle Point Golf Course Facebook Page Design
There are many reasons that as a business you should be on Facebook as Eagle Point Golf Course realized. Patrick came to us as he didn't want the generic look that you see with so many businesses, the 2x2 logo and the avatar that doesn't center when making a post. They are after all a Robert Trent Jones Jr. Golf Course Design and the elite golf course in Southern Oregon. While it's tough for EPGC to find time to consistently post, they are after all experts in the mechanics of the golf swing not the mechanics of marketing, they do have a ... Read More

Summer!! You cold hearted gypsy, where have you gone?!
As I mentioned above, I recently moved to the Baltimore area. I'm fun and outgoing, but would love someone to show me the city. If you are new to the area as well, let's explore together. I would describe myself as ahead of the curve. I am very goal oriented and understand that achieving great tasks requires small planned out steps. I try and stay busy on the weekends with golf or travel, but recently renovating my house has been no small task. Have awesome taste in flooring? Light fixtures? Great; let's make it a date! I just finished up some kitchen renovations, and I'd love to break them in by whipping up some Italian. I'd also love to have someone to take out dancing; think you've got the mooooves like Jagger? Prove it. I'm looking for a fun, energetic women who can keep pace with my jovial lifestyle. I love to laugh and try to keep others laughing around me.
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing
Basketball, Golf, Tennis / Racquet sports
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I like Dogs
Middle of the Road
Love small underground rock bands. "Brand New" is my favorite, if you have never heard the name, I highly suggest looking them up. I enjoy the Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother on TV, when I have the time to watch them.
I enjoy quick weekend trips down to warmer weather where I can play golf and perhaps get a tan.
Daily Calendar. Ok; Klosterman. But based on his last few articles, I feel like lately he's went from really knowing what he was talking about regarding a handful of subjects, to not knowing what he was talking about regarding everything.

Crystal City Potomac Yard Transitway
The Transitway extends between the Crystal City Metrorail Station in Arlington County and the Braddock Road Metrorail Station in the City of Alexandria.
Arlington's section includes new transit lanes and stations in Potomac Yard and Crystal City.
The project team is holding meetings in the project area to share construction information. Previous meetings are listed below:
- Feb. 24, 2015 at Crystal City BID
- Jan. 13, 2015 at Crystal Park Condominium
- Dec. 11, 2014 at Crystal City BID
- Nov. 17, 2014 in Crystal City
- Aug. 13, 2014 in Potomac Yard
Our May 2014 presentation provided an overview of construction plans and impacts for Arlington's section of the Transitway.
Project Timeline
Alexandria's Transitway section opened in August 2014, which allowed the first phase of Metroway service to begin.
Arlington's section of Transitway, including new stations in Potomac Yard and Crystal City, is scheduled to open in summer 2015.
About the Project
Arlington County and the City of Alexandria are building the Washington metropolitan area's first right-of-way dedicated to premium surface transit. The new 4.5-mile Transitway between the Crystal City and Braddock Road Metrorail stations will provide faster, more reliable bus service along the congested Route 1 corridor, with amenities designed to attract new riders.
Arlington's Transitway section includes a new all-day dedicated transit lane in Potomac Yard, a peak period transit lane in Crystal City and seven new transit stations. Separating bus service from traffic will result in corridor-wide travel time savings of 1-1/4 to 10 minutes for riders.
The Transitway will support development already underway in these neighborhoods, as well as planned growth.
Along the Transitway, WMATA's new premium Metroway bus service will operate at high-frequency during peak hours and serve a consolidated number of stations. Station amenities will include real-time arrival information, higher curb for easier vehicle boarding, canopies for weather protection, seating, lighting, and wayfinding information.
Public Process
The Arlington County Department of Environmental Services has worked side-by-side with the community on this project as well as project partners, including the City of Alexandria, Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority and the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation. To request a copy of the project's environmental analysis, contact Blanche Buergler at 703-228-0597.
Residents, business owners, building managers and riders were heavily involved in the project's environmental analysis and the design and locations of the Transitway stations. Public meetings during the project's planning and design included:
- January 2012 – Stakeholder working group meeting to update on the final station designs.
- November 2011 – Station naming online survey.
- August 2011 – Meeting to review and comment on artwork designs developed by the artist.
- July 2011 – Meeting to share updates on the design of the stations, focusing on Crystal City.
- June 2011 – Meeting to meet the station artist and provide input on aesthetic enhancements.
- June 2011 –Meeting to report on the service plan, operating plan, and access policy being drafted.
- April 2011 – Meeting to solicit input on bus routes to use the Transitway, service frequency and span, and access policy.
- March 2011 – Meeting to show design concepts and get input on stations in Crystal City.
- March 2011 – Stakeholder working group meeting on station design concepts.
- January 2011 – Stakeholder working group meeting on station locations in Crystal City.
- July 2010 – Meeting to review the results of the environmental analysis, including transportation analysis.
- March 2010 – Meeting to introduce the environmental analysis and to shape evaluation criteria for station location and amenities.
$10.5 million – Estimated construction cost for Arlington's Transitway section. This includes roadwork and station platforms.
$21.3 million – Arlington's total project budget, funded from federal, state and local sources. Local funds are provided by an existing transportation tax levied on commercial properties.

Source: bought via a "pro deal"
Great headlamp that excels in technical use. The reactive lighting is extremely helpful at conserving maximum battery for navigation even after 11 hours of use, and it also works great for down climbing through technical terrain.
- Reactive lighting
- Good battery life (11hrs of up to 170 lumens)
- Comfortable
- Expensive
- A little tricky to figure out the button sequence
I have had this headlamp for six months and used it for climbing, running, and camping. The controls are confusing at first so make sure a staff member shows you how they work.
It's the second of Peztl's Reactive series of lights. Reactive lighting uses a photo sensor that picks up reflected light, and ensures a precise level of light. Never too dim, and never too bright. So if you look at your map you aren't blinded, and then you can immediately look up and see distant terrain features.
Camping it's got no real advantages aside from saving money with the rechargeable batteries. It has red light, and other handy features. Nothing major though. You don't really need or notice the reactive lighting much.
Running and hiking at night this headlamp excels. The reactive lighting works very well, and one thing I began to notice after using it in the lower settings is that because it keeps the light lower, never too bright never too dim it gives your peripheral night vision a chance to adjust. The beam is also well spread out so when you look around you feel like you are getting the whole view rather than just small little circle of light.
Alpine start with headlamps
I also recently climbed with it on an alpine climb that went much later than expected. Down climbing was made much easier by the reactive lighting as I could look at my feet, and then further and get perfect brightness every time. The Core battery was also handy; when I needed full brightness to navigate I could just turn it up, even 10 hours in and get 150m of light. Enough to navigate on the cloudy night. I kept it on the lowest reactive setting though to preserve battery.
However, the promised 3 hour reserve mode of 25 lumens never occurred, and 1 hour before dawn the light just flicked off. Very annoyed by that. I have since bought a second battery to take with me.
Overall it's comfortable to wear, works well, and is useful tool for running and climbing. The reactive lighting is cool, and very handy in those specific applications.

Excellent product, used before my driving test and do feel that it worked. One downside is that although it does taste nice, the taste is a bit boozy so might make one feel selfconscious

Évaluation du service : As usual, excellent service
Produit : Have been using this product for years, so I know it suits me. Soothing and calming effect anywhere anytime (I also use the night version later in the day). I find the spray format most practical for me,

Excellent service and speedy delivery
Up until now I was extremely satisfied with both products and services of feelunique. I live in Greece and having feelunique as a retailer was more than convenient since some of the products I usually buy cannot be found in Greece. However I am very disappointed due to the fact that you stopped sending some products to Greece (for example Bach Remedies) and I have to buy them and send them to friends of mine that live in UK and they have to send them to me, which is very frustrating. I have already sent an email to feelunique, only to find out that the company does not allow shipping to Greece. Honestly I don't really understand that. To the point, I have to find an other website to do my shopping, since you are not able to cater to my needs.
really helps when you just need a herbal help, when things are difficult or stressful
excellent value

They used to be cheap transportation that were easy to fix (growing up, my parents had three Beetles and two Rabbits).
I think the reason that people bought them in the 90's and beyond is that they do make great looking cars, with great interiors and many are really fun to drive, and they appeal to young urban hipster types who want that Euro image.
The problem is they're made with substandard components, many in factories in Mexico with what would seem to be poor QA standards. I know probably a dozen or more people who have owned VW's from 1990 to the present, and not one - literally not one - would ever even consider buying another one. Almost to a tee, they've all had electrical issues, and most have had problems with parts literally falling off the cars, weird breakdowns and all of them expensive to fix.
