Sometime past midnight Friday, Adam Henrique scored in the second overtime to lift the New Jersey Devils, 3-2, double overtime win past the Florida Panthers in the seventh game of the Eastern Conference opening round playoffs. After the Rangers won, the winner of New Jersey-Florida would face the Flyers. I had hoped to parlay the Eagles' draft party into XFinity Live, but as the Devils played on, the party was just starting, i.e. the music was blasting, so I left. Anyway, the Rangers play the Capitals and should win that series. Marty Brodeur, the Devils goalie, had his confidence shaken much of the Panthers' series, but it could be one game that brings him back. However, Brodeur is nearing the end of career and eventually the Flyers should solve him. Figure the Flyers in six games again. That would set up a Flyers-Rangers Eastern Conference Finals. The Flyers were 0-6 in regular season play against the Rangers. The Flyers beat the Penguins so convincingly, Claude Giroux was so good...

I lead a high-end life and have high-end tastes: penthouse suites, the finest champagne, custom cars, and Cuban cigars the size of your forearm. I demand the same from my video games. The Premium Edition, that's the one I'll buy with my many dollars. Gold Edition. Titanium Edition. Blood Red Edition. Deluxe Edition. Ultimate Sith Edition. Collector's Edition, oh yes; I collect the finest.
Total War: Rome II is now up to my standards, as it's getting an Emperor Edition. Technically it's only a renaming of the base game to mark the launch of a big patch and a free new story campaign, but just look at that name: Emperor Edition. That belongs in my Steam display cabinet.

Economic Insights
U.S. Economy: An Emerging "Fear Factor"?
Investors appear to be worried that the U.S. economy is increasingly vulnerable to disruptions in emerging economies. They shouldn't be.
A recent Barron's article1 elicited a fearful response from a large number of financial advisors. Quoting a noted New York-based think tank, the piece noted how emerging economies continue to grow as a share of the global economy, verging on 40%. It then went on to argue that their increased importance makes the U.S. economy more vulnerable than it once was to foreign influences and that, if these emerging economies were to collapse or just suffer tough times, this economy would come under considerable strain, forcing the Federal Reserve to hold short-term interest rates lower for longer than many now expect.
It is understandable how such a narrative can generate fear, but on closer inspection, it really says very little about likely future events. It is, of course, irrefutable that the United States is vulnerable to problems in the rest of the world. This country's economy is big, but still barely 30% of the world's gross domestic product (GDP), smaller than the European Union (EU), even after all its troubles of recent years, and clearly smaller than the emerging economies as a group. If these or any other significant part of the globe were to suffer a major setback, the U.S. economy would inevitably suffer ill effects, and the Fed would have to trim its monetary policy accordingly. There was only ever a brief period, in the late 1940s and 1950s, when the U.S. economy was such a big part of the world that it seemed almost immune to foreign influences. The question then is not whether the United States would suffer if the emerging economies fell as a group. The answer to that question is clearly, yes. The relevant question is, are these emerging economies likely to suffer in sufficient numbers?
Perhaps the article and the think tank see greater danger because each assumes that emerging economies are more prone to setbacks than developed economies and so their rise acts as a kind of threat that did not previously exist. Though it is hard to see anywhere more vulnerable these days than the EU, emerging economies are indeed known for volatility. It would, however, be a mistake to simply run with such a supposition. For one, emerging economies have become increasingly differentiated over time, moving less and less in tandem with each other than they once did, either in economic or in market terms. If half of them had troubles, and the other half resisted, it would be harder to see a terrible impact on the United States. What is more, their rising size and significance speaks to greater levels of development and presumably relative stability. Indeed, measures of volatility in these economies in the last 40 years have fallen by a fifth.2 Meanwhile, their rise diversifies the foreign influences on the United States and so could create more stability even if they were not individually more stable, which clearly they are becoming.
Meanwhile, patterns of trade may make the emerging economies less of a threat than they seem or than are other, more developed markets. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, this country has much less balanced trade with emerging than with developed economies. The data, admittedly, are far from comprehensive, but just using key trading partners, it is apparent that the United States, by a far greater margin than with other trading partners, buys much more from emerging economies than it sells them. Since fluctuations in demand almost always create economic cycles, it would seem then that the rise of emerging economies makes the world more vulnerable to the United States than this country is to the emerging economies. To be sure, secondary and tertiary influences should qualify such a blanket statement, but it does suggest that there is less to fear in this respect from the rise of emerging economies certainly than is suggested in this article.

2Data from FactSet.
Risks to consider: Special risks are associated with foreign investing, including currency fluctuations, economic instability and political developments. The growth potential offered by emerging markets remains accompanied by heightened risks when compared to developed markets, including risks related to market and currency volatility, adverse social and political developments, and the relatively small size and lesser liquidity of these markets.

Governor Expected to Sign Legislation to Provide Access to Medigap Secondary Insurance for Florida's Most Vulnerable Patients Next Month
TALLAHASSEE, Fla., April 29 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Following unanimous support in the Florida House this week, the Florida Senate today also voted unanimously for the bill renamed "The Alonzo Mourning Access to Care Act" that will help a special population of Florida's kidney failure patients and the disabled access the care they need.
Late last week, the legislature voted to rename the legislation in honor of Alonzo Mourning, who is also a kidney transplant recipient and a leading advocate for those suffering from kidney disease and kidney failure. The legislation will give Florida residents under the age of 65 who suffer from end stage renal disease (ESRD) and those deemed disabled access to Medigap coverage assistance, which would provide them with access to needed medical treatments, including kidney transplant, without cost being a barrier - and without having to "spend down" their income to become eligible for state Medicaid assistance, in many cases the only option for this population.
Mourning said, "This bill will ensure that kidney failure patients do not have to choose between life-saving medical care and their daily living expenses. I applaud the Florida legislature for making the right decision that ensures that this vulnerable population can access the care they need such as dialysis services, transplantation and prescription medications."
Two populations qualify for Medicare coverage: individuals over age 65, and those under 65 who meet certain conditions, including the diagnosis of ESRD. While Medicare covers most medical costs, it requires patients to pay deductibles and co-pays. Most patients have secondary insurance to help with these costs. However, approximately 2,000 kidney failure patients and many thousands more who are

Dozens of homes had to be evacuated last Friday morning after a vehicle struck and ruptured a natural gas line on North Main Street.
The car snapped the above ground 1-inch line, allowing it to spew massive amounts of the highly flammable but invisible gas into the air. The line is located just off the shoulder of North Main, between a residence and the Stratmore Motel.
Fortunately, the gas didn't ignite before emergency personnel cleared the area of vehicles and other potential ignition sources.
Over 100 guests attended the Lawrenceburg Campus of Bluegrass Community and Technical College's "Night of Glamour" on Saturday night raising enough funds for at least one scholarship to the school.
Campus director Rhonda Wheeler said 105 guests attended the formal event, as well as 10 band members and 15 works, for a total attendance of 130.
Although the final tally of funds raised at the event isn't in yet, Wheeler said the college will be awarding at least one scholarship.
The Anderson County Board of Education will meet Monday at 5:30 p.m. to set the real estate and personal property tax rate.
The board met after a public hearing Thursday night with the intention of setting the rate, but a misunderstanding led to a failed motion and left the district without a tax rate.
State law requires the tax rate to be set by the end of August.
Judge Linda Armstrong heard the following cases during Anderson District Court proceedings June 3.
Barry D. Simpson, preliminary hearing, possession of marijuana, use/possession of drug paraphernalia, first-degree possession of a controlled substance (drug unspecified), controlled substance prescription not in its original container, operating a motor vehicle under the influence -- continued to July 15.
Pamela Taylor, pretrial conference, fourth-degree assault (domestic violence, minor injury) -- motion/disposition/trial date July 1.
Taxpayers could be on the hook to pay thousands of dollars in health insurance premiums for a former county employee who retired last October.
County Clerk Jason Denny confirmed Monday that the employee retired from his office but remains an active employee on the county's list of workers receiving health care benefits.
Denny said the monthly premium totals around $400, including $125 each month for prescription coverage. Through July, the total would be well over $3,000.
A highway department employee apparently isn't the only one to violate the state's regulation on spraying weed killer on public property.
County employees in other departments, along with inmates on work release from jail, spray weed killer in the county park and around the courthouse, but do not have the required state certifications to do so.
The spraying appears to be done in numerous locations in the park, including the perimeter of the playground, skateboard park, in drainage ditches and around large drainage pipes.
A Franklin County dog that has been missing for over a month may have been spotted in Anderson County, a volunteer involved in the search said Thursday morning.
Copper, an 11-year-old Shiba Inu, was released into the wild on July 3 after being labeled as a coyote by a worker at the Franklin County Humane Society, said Barbara Murray, who is heading up the search effort for the dog.
Murray said the last reported sighting of Copper occurred on the Anderson County side of Ninevah Road.
Lawrenceburg's mayor is set for the next four years, but the council members she will be working with are yet to be determined.
In order to run in the Nov. 2 general election, candidates had to file by last Tuesday, Aug. 10.
Incumbent mayor Edwinna Baker is seeking reelection, but no one filed to challenge her this fall.
However, 10 candidates filed for a chance at a spot on the six-seat city council.
We've all heard about the dangers of drinking or texting while driving, but wearing flip-flops?
Although there is certainly nothing illegal about wearing them behind the wheel, flip-flops are likely the cause of a wreck last Thursday afternoon when a small car hit and became lodge beneath the rear bumper of a school bus at the intersection of Saffell Street and Glensboro Road.
No one was injured in the accident, and no students were aboard the bus.
The Anderson County highway facility was burgled sometime over the weekend with thieves making off with a variety of tools and equipment.
Highway foreman Chip Chambers said someone broke into the building by pushing an air conditioning unit through the window and climbing in.
Chambers said items stolen include two chain saws, a pole saw, floor jacks, sockets and a pressure washer.
Chambers said Monday he was still working to put together an estimated value of the equipment for the county's insurance company.

I finished my degree, BSc Honours in Computer Science at the University of Leeds, England, at the age of 22. Since then I have had more than 15 years of experience in building large scale applications using Delphi, C++ Builder, Microsoft VB, Microsoft C++ and Microsoft C#. Other skills involve 3D programming with DirectX, OpenGL, and HLSL. I have a very good physics and mathematical background which allow me to easily develop physics simulation systems, 3D visualisation systems and deal with problem solving.

HOURLY PROJECTS ONLY, Please! And no time wasters too, please! I work ONLY with clients that have both a professional attitude as well as a prompt payment ability. Hi: Thank you for taking a few moments to glance over my oDesk profile. I possess an excellent command of English (it happens to be my native language!), verifiable accredited U.S. qualifications, authentic Fortune 10/100 work experience, as well as a powerful portfolio of specializations, skills, experience, and capabilities. Although I've passed over 90 oDesk tests and more than 27 Brainbench tests, I regularly add new skills to my portfolio. AREAS OF EXPERTISE: Advanced Project, Program and Portfolio Management (SCPM - Stanford) Business Consulting - Leadership, Management, and Technnological Management of technology Organizational Behavior Organization Design General Management Business Analysis Systems Analysis Marketing: Penetration of new market segments Design of Tests and Examinations - including Psychometric Evaluation Quality Management (CMQ/OE: ASQ Certified Manager of Quality / Organizational Excellence) Quality Engineering (CQE: ASQ Certified Quality Engineer) Software Quality Assurance (CSQE: ASQ Certified software Quality Engineer) CMMI ISO 9001, SPICE, TickIT and other Quality Standards SDLC / Agile Software Development Methodologies Software Technologies and Development Environments Multidisciplinary Training - Individual and Groups GRE and GMAT Examinations Coaching I have a working knowledge of a broad range of software across a wide range of industry segments (general management, international quality systems standards formulation, market penetration, manufacturing, financial services, customer service, training, software development, systems implementation, systems analysis, systems certification and accreditation), together with primary and secondary research capabilities. As far back as 1994, I designed, developed and successfully implemented across several sites, a Refinanced Loan Management System (RLMS) while serving as the joint Management Information Systems Expert and Computer systems Specialist for the SFLCP project funded by the International Fund for Agriculture of the United Nations (UN / IFAD) and the Canadian International Development Agency. During the relatively short period of July 1996 to September 1997, I designed, developed, and successfully implemented what was probably the world's first ISO 9001-compliant Quality Management System that allowed new technology platforms to be added without the need for immediate re-certification. What all this means to you is that you finally have the ability to economically hire someone who is quite comfortable delving into even the smallest details while simultaneously monitoring the "big picture," ensuring you get the most from whatever your assignment requires. Of course, I prefer to work with clients who look forward to taking their companies to the next level in terms of performance, profitability, as well as corporate responsibility.

I agree, and thank you for your inciteful comment. Why teach your own child to love the sheep like a baby only to kill it and eat it a year or two later?
I would like to add that whilst Permaculture takes a more sustainable path for our culture in the food production area, the 'elephants in the room' the danger is that issues such as population growth and biodiversity loss are not addressed adequately.
For example, an abundance philosophy (as in Permaculture) in our global world doesn't help us see the need to control population growth.
Another thing is that Permaculture is still a gardening for humans system. As it tends to study wilderness systems and try to mimic some aspects, especially by mixing things together, it tends to look a bit like 'Nature' as if it is the same thing as wilderness ecological system that's been running itself happily for many 1000s of years.
This is why weeds have sometimes been an issue with the permaculture crowd. David Holgrem wrote articles suggesting that weeds are just 'wild Nature'. However ecologists and other scientists have shown there have been important factors missing from the 'beneficial weeds' and 'wild nature' arguments.

1888 Silver Dollar, PR65 Cameo1888 $1 PR65 Cameo PCGS. Ex: JFS Collection. Breen-5600, described by him as "very rare." It was circa 1888 that the quality of proof coins reached a low level, leading Harlan P. Smith to make a formal complaint about this quality. As a rule, proof coins from this period are not nearly as nice as those of earlier years, but the blazing eye appeal of this specimen marks it as an outstanding exception. Consider this to be an excellent opportunity as it may be a long wait before a similar example appears on the market.

This Gem displays rich gold toning toward the borders and lighter champagne at the centers. The design features are quite sharp, especially at the centers, although a few hair strands over the ear are merged together. Bold contrast completes this Cameo coin.

The Rays were victorious again Tuesday night in Toronto with a nail-biting 4-3 win. Besides one bad inning, David Price was stellar in seven innings. The Rays offense continues to be lead by replacements such as Will Rhymes, Sean Rodriguez, and also Elliot Johnson as of late.
The scoring started in the third inning with a 3-run inning by Toronto led by a 2-run homer by Edwin Encarnacion.
The Rays struck back in the 5th with an RBI double by Ben Zobrist to make it 3-1.
The Rays added 3 runs in the 7th inning. Sean Rodriguez hit his third home run of the season to cut Toronto's lead to just one. Later in the inning, Elliot Johnson singled in a run to tie up the game. B.J. grounded into a double play to score the go ahead run.
Fernando Rodney closed it out again, still perfect in saves, but it seems like he got some help from home plate umpire Bill Miller. During rookie Brett Lawrie's at-bat, Rodney got the benefit of the doubt to strikeout Lawrie with two straight controversial called strikes to comeback from a 3-1 count.
As you can see, itt's clear that Lawrie should of walked on the 3-1 pitch, which was way outside. But the 3-2 pitch, however, was borderline. The miscall(s) lead to an immediate ejection of Lawrie, who flipped out after being rung up. His tantrum will likely lead to an ejection and a pretty large fine. Check out a video of the scene over at MLB.com.
The Rays are now 23-14 (10-11 road), and have a 2.5 game lead over New York and are tied with Baltimore atop the division. The Rays out hit the Jays 12-6 in this game, and committed two errors.
- David Price (W,6-2) 7 IP, 6 H, 3 ER, 0 BB, 6 K
- Henderson Alvarez (L,3-3) 6.2 IP, 10 H, 2 ER, 1 K

News and Notes:

- The Next game is tomorrow night at 7 PM. The Rays return to Tropicana Field to play the Boston Red Sox in a two-game series. The pitching matchup will be Jeremy Hellickson versus Clay Buchholz.

The Disastrous Case of Donald Young
Few players had a better end to their 2011 ATP season than 22-year-old American Donald Young. After years spent floundering under the pressure of sky-high expectations, Young finally broke through during last summer's US Open Series, when he reached the semifinals in Washington and the fourth round of the US Open. He followed up his stellar summer with a finals appearance on the indoor courts of Bangkok, which lifted him to a career-high ranking of 38. At last, after having been dismissed by so many in the tennis world, it seemed Young was destined to cash in on his much-hyped potential, establishing himself as a solid tour player with a chance to crack the top 20, and perhaps reach even greater heights.
Young's dream conclusion to the 2011 season has inexplicably given way to a nightmarish 2012. Over halfway through the year, Young has compiled a paltry 2-14 record, suffering his 14th and worst defeat today in Eastbourne, as he bowed out to world #200 Jamie Baker after winning just five games. Even his two wins this year were very close calls, the first coming at the Australian Open in 5 sets against 248th-ranked qualifier Peter Gojowczyk, and the other a 7-6, 4-6, 7-6 victory against Grigor Dimitrov, who later avenged his defeat convincingly in a 7-6, 6-1, 6-1 shellacking of Young at Roland Garros.
It's hard to say what exactly has caused such an abrupt decline in Young's game. Throughout his career, many tennis fans and commentators have blamed his continued underperformance on his reluctance to end his professional relationship with his parents, who have coached him since childhood. This criticism is unfair, though, as few if any of these people can truly attest to the quality of coachng Young receives. Although parent-coach relationship have doomed many talented players, Young's issues seem to run deeper. His French Open match against Dimitrov was an embarrassing display of the easy errors, lackadaisical play, and mental weakness that have held him back for years.
Young has failed to win a match in four months, going 0-11 in tournament play since last winning in late February. His implosion has gone largely unnoticed by most, though, since he attained his year-end ranking of 39 almost entirely through his successes in the second half of last year. Young's ranking currently stands at 50, which is still high enough for him to enter virtually any tournament on the ATP World Tour, all the way through to the US Open at the end of August. Trouble is, if Young closes out the season as abysmally as he's played so far, he'll stand to lose nearly all of the 700 ranking points he racked up from July to November, which would drop him well below the top 100.
A departure from the top 100 would be simply devastating for Young. It would spell the end to his time in the posh, lucrative events of the ATP World Tour, and he'd be forced to rebuild his ranking in the small-town tennis centers and public parks that play host to low-paying, ill-attended Challenger tournaments. Young enjoyed a six-month stint in the top 100 back in 2008 before falling way off, so he's clawed back once before. But to do it a second time would prove a much greater feat.
For one, Young would be forced to carry on without the help of the USTA. While the organization had been generous to their hottest prospect for many years, Young has had no qualms about airing his grievances throughout his career. His long-simmering feud with the USTA finally boiled over last April, when Young blasted the organization on Twitter after being denied a French Open wild card. Even if relations have improved, Young would simply not be a priority at a time when younger, brighter prospects have entered into the fold. For years, Young has been given chance after chance to prove himself as an elite player, and has continually fallen well short. Promising young talents like Denis Kudla, Rhyne Williams, Daniel Kosakowski, and Jack Sock would all take precedence over Young, and deservedly so.
Worse yet is the effect that Young's colossal collapse would have on his resolve and confidence. He's already fallen hard just a few months after he seemed to have finally "made it" in tennis, and a bad summer would likely seal his fate as yet another promising young American who fell short a professional level. Then again, Young is only 22 and has his prime years ahead of him, but this is already his seventh year as a full-time pro, and he's carried the heavy burden of great expectations the entire way. Last summer offered him hope and redemption, but as Donald Young looks to save his flagging career, a much tougher summer lies in wait.

One of the main reasons for Oklahoma State's recent rise has been quality evaluation on the recruiting trail. Running back Kendall Hunter, a two-time All-American, was a hidden gem out of Tyler, Texas and 2010 Biletnikoff Award winner Justin Blackmon was an overlooked prospect out of Plainview High School in Ardmore.
I decided to review recent OSU recruiting classes because it gives you a better feel for where the players you will see making plays on Saturdays this fall came from. And it makes it easier to understand recruiting is a full of unknowns so assuming an elite recruit will become an elite playmaker is fool's gold, especially once you get past the players who are simply freaks of nature with sheer physical ability which is unmatched.
Here's a look back at OSU's recruiting Class of 2008 with a detailed look at each recruit, their ranking when they arrived on campus and their production or potential in the three years since joining the program. (I'll break the class into several different blogs in the next few days)
Overall class rankings
Rivals ranking: #26
Scout ranking: #40
ESPN.com ranking: unranked. Given a C in overall grades in the Big 12 behind Oklahoma, Texas, Nebraska, Colorado, Texas A&M and Missouri.
Isaiah Anderson, receiver
Rivals ranking: 2 stars
Scout ranking: 2 stars
Other offers: Nebraska, New Mexico
Impact on the program: One of the fastest players on the team, Anderson shows flashes of that speed and playmaking ability at times but has yet to become a consistent playmaker in games heading into his junior season.
Analysis: Consistency is the key for Anderson. He showed his ability to test defenses and get deep a couple of times last fall including a couple deep balls against Kansas State. He had 12 catches for 216 yards (18 ypc) last season. He has the potential to make a difference.
Lucien Antoine, safety
Rivals ranking: 3 stars
Scout ranking: 3 stars
Other offers: interest from Arkansas, Ole Miss and Louisville
Impact on the program: Injuries curtailed his junior season but Antoine was a core member of OSU's run to the Cotton Bowl in 2009. He set the tone for the Pokes' defense with his hard hitting nature and unyielding pursuit to the football.
Analysis: OSU only got one season from Antoine but he was well worth it. He helped OSU's defense improve tremendously in 2009.
Cooper Bassett, defensive end
Rivals ranking: 3 stars
Scout ranking: 3 stars
Other offers: Kansas, Kansas State, New Mexico
Impact on the program: Originally recruited as a tight end and he played offense as a redshirt freshman in 2009. He moved to the defensive side of the ball last season and has become an rotation player for the Pokes.
Analysis: Bassett is a solid player who works hard to get the most out of his talent. Good roster depth is built with players like him. He should play a role on OSU's defense in 2011.
Justin Blackmon, receiver
Rivals ranking: 3 stars
Scout ranking: 3 stars
Other offers: Colorado, Kansas State, Missouri, Tulsa and Northern Iowa.
Impact on the program: Really? Do I need to say anything? I'm not going to say a word…
Analysis: Won the Biletnikoff Award during his third year on campus and ranks as one of the top receivers in OSU history. His game-by-game consistency in 2010 is unheard of. One of college football best players regardless of position.
Donald Booker, linebacker
Rivals ranking: 3 stars
Scout ranking: 3 stars
Other offers: New Mexico, New Mexico State and Tulsa.
Impact on the program: After Orie Lemon was injured before the 2009 season, Booker stepped in and led the Cowboys in tackles (99). Athletic and tough, he joined Antoine as anchors of OSU's solid defense in 2009.
Analysis: Most people probably overlooked Booker because he didn't have the ideal size (5-11, 236) for a middle linebacker but he was a playmaker who played with zero regard for his body. Coach Mike Gundy often pointed to Booker's love of the game as a reason for OSU's success in 2009 despite all the distractions that season.

Jair Jurrjens is looking to make a comeback
May 4, 2014, 10:25 PM EDT
Pitcher Jair Jurrjens is looking to make a comeback, currently rehabbing after undergoing knee surgery last September, Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reports. Jurrjens is only 28 years old and his injury issues aren't related to his arm, so he has that going for him. Heyman adds that Jurrjens has been able to ramp up his fastball to 90 MPH.
Jurrjens spent the 2013 season in the Tigers' and Orioles' systems, making a brief appearance in the big leagues with the O's, posting a 4.91 ERA in 7 1/3 innings. He hasn't had prolonged success in the Major Leagues since 2011, when he finished with a 2.96 ERA in 153 innings with the Braves.
- dcarroll73 - May 4, 2014 at 10:56 PM
And in related news Jar Jar Binks continues on the comeback trail in triple A. Although he had consistency issues (and was almost terminally annoying) many considered Jar Jar the best comedic talent in pitching since Mudcat Grant.
- areyesrn - May 4, 2014 at 11:19 PM

I'd still take him

With the money even below average MLB pitchers make…much less good pitchers…that's why you have to pull the uniform off these guys. Where else can a mediocre ANYTHING make 1-2 million/year? Makes me want to crank up the old knuckler, which, even at 62, I could probably wiff BJ Upton with it.
- dowhatifeellike - May 5, 2014 at 11:10 AM
If your definition of mediocre means there are only a couple hundred people in the world better, then we have differing definitions of that word.

We are on a MLB blog. I am talking mediocre MLB pitchers. If you are assuming I am talking about anything else, nope.

not sure why ppl have such negative things to say about Jair…i wish we had been able to keep him around…he was a hard worker who had health problems…he wasnt an attitude problem, he wasn't a cancer to the team, he was a guy who had some bad breaks with his body…wish him nothing but the best in his future…
- gmfw7 - May 5, 2014 at 8:18 PM
I commented on a story about him before spring training that I really would love the phillies to sign him to a 1 year deal and I still want them to take a flier on him. He was way too good in 2010-2011 to not have a bounce back im him. Not like we have a ton of depth neither.

The study demonstrated that a greater proportion of bacteria were resistant to piperacillin/tazobactam compared with doripenem. Resistance rates to piperacillin/tazobactam and doripenem (doripenem resistance defined as a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of greater than or equal to 16 mcg/mL) in patients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa were 27% vs. 4%, respectively and in patients with Klebsiella pneumoniae were 43% vs. 0%, respectively.
In a second large, open-label, randomized, multi-center trial, 531 patients with VAP and hospitalized in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) were randomized to receive either a four-hour IV infusion of 500 mg of doripenem every eight hours (500 mg q8h) or an IV infusion of imipenem 500 mg four times a day or 1000 mg every eight hours (500 mg q6h or 1000 mg q8h for 30 or 60 minutes, respectively). At baseline, Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates were less resistant to doripenem than imipenem (0% vs. 13% respectively, MIC of greater than or equal to 16 mcg/mL). Cure rates in clinically evaluable patients were similar for doripenem compared to imipenem (68.3% vs. 64.8%, respectively). Cure rates in the clinically modified intent-to-treat population were similar between doripenem and imipenem (59% vs. 57.8%, respectively).

Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) December 11, 2013
In remembrance of the one year anniversary of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings in Newtown, CT, The Women's Eye Radio Show (TWE) will air two special interviews at 3 PM MST on 1480KPHX in Phoenix on December 14th and 15th. Host Stacey Gualandi speaks with Scarlett Lewis, mother of 6-year-old Jesse, a Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victim. Lewis is the author of "Nuturing Healing Love, A Mother's Journey of Hope and Forgiveness" (Hay House Publishing), a book about her grief, her conscious decision to heal and forgive, and her commitment to cultivate nurturing, educational programs in schools that will teach children how to manage anger. Intertwining the spiritual connection between healing, well-being and happiness by choice, TWE will also speak with recent Oprah guest and nationally-acclaimed New York Times bestselling author, Anne Lamott. Deeply affected by the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy, Lamott will share her personal experiences in finding meaning in the face of violence, as documented in her new book "Stitches: A Handbook on Meaning, Hope and Repair" (Riverhead Books).

WIP Drawing before painting
Hey guys. Recently got into making more detailed prep drawings for my large scale, acrylic paintings. Looking for feedback on any and everything before I start slopping the paint about. Thanks for checking it out!
The idea here is to combine some renaissance type imagery with a more contemporary power struggle/egomania scenario.
Please Sir, I'd like some more.

Death toll in Kenya police deaths at least 26
Officers are poorly paid and live in deplorable housing conditions, Kiraithe said. He also admitted that corruption is a big problem in the force and he said some police officers collude with criminals to defeat justice. "Corruption in the police force is deep and wide," he said.
Kiriathe said if he is selected as the Inspector General he would transform the police into a service-oriented organization by ensuring that officers are well paid and kicking out corrupt elements.
The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights said the government needs to invest in better training and equipment for police. It said more than 30 police were killed in the weekend attack.
"At a time when the country is gearing up for elections, security is one of the most paramount factors that must be guarded and respected for law and order to prevail," it said. "lt is therefore worrying that such episodes will undermine public confidence in the security sector as the country awaits the appointment of the Inspector General of Police."

Hans Magnus Enzensberger, an outstanding lyrical poet, a superb essayist and a prominent, controversial figure in the German post-war cultural scene, celebrated his eightieth birthday on 11 November 2009. For Enzensberger, political engagement, cultural critique and literary aesthetics are inseparable. His lyrical and essayistic oeuvre resonates with the pressing concerns of Germany and the world at large after World War II: the armament race, democracy, capitalism versus socialism, rampant consumerism, the dialectics of historical processes, the mind-altering influence of the electronic media and, more recently, German pre- and post-unification everyday "normalcy" and Islamic terrorism. Enzensberger has worked with and in a variety …

- •Although linkages of leaf and whole-plant traits to leaf lifespan have been rigorously investigated, there is a limited understanding of similar linkages of whole-plant and fine root traits to root lifespan. In comparisons across species, do suites of traits found in leaves also exist for roots, and can these traits be used to predict root lifespan?
- •We observed the fine root lifespan of 12 temperate tree species using minirhizotrons in a common garden and compared their median lifespans with fine-root and whole-plant traits. We then determined which set of combined traits would be most useful in predicting patterns of root lifespan.
- •Median root lifespan ranged widely among species (95–336 d). Root diameter, calcium content, and tree wood density were positively related to root lifespan, whereas specific root length, nitrogen (N) : carbon (C) ratio, and plant growth rate were negatively related to root lifespan. Root diameter and plant growth rate, together (R2 = 0.62) or in combination with root N : C ratio (R2 = 0.76), were useful predictors of root lifespan across the 12 species.
- •Our results highlight linkages between fine root lifespan in temperate trees and plant functional traits that may reduce uncertainty in predictions of root lifespan or turnover across species at broader spatial scales.

The following iPath® ETNs will be transferred:
NYSE Euronext announced earlier this year its plans to move all ETF and ETN trading to NYSE Arca by year-end because it believes that offering a single platform for listing and trading ETFs and ETNs will further improve efficiencies and market quality.
"The NYSE specialists representing iPath ETNs are already acting as lead market makers in primary listings on NYSE Arca and will continue to provide value for investors," said Philippe El-Asmar, Head of Investor Solutions,
The iPath ETNs have a 30-year maturity and are senior, unsecured, unsubordinated debt securities issued by Barclays Bank PLC linked to the performance of a market index. iPath ETNs, which investors can trade on an exchange at market prices, are designed to provide investors with convenient access to the returns of market benchmarks, less investor fees. Barclays Bank PLC is the issuer, Barclays Capital Inc. is the issuer's agent, and Barclays Global Investors Services is the promoter of iPath ETNs to intermediaries.
About Barclays
An investment in iPath ETNs involves risks, including possible loss of principal. For a description of the main risks see "Risk Factors" in the applicable prospectus.
Barclays Bank PLC has filed a registration statement (including a prospectus) with the SEC for the offering to which this communication relates. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus and other documents Barclays Bank PLC has filed with the SEC for more complete information about the issuer and this offering. You may get these documents for free by visiting www.iPathETN.com or EDGAR on the SEC website at www.sec.gov. Alternatively, Barclays Bank PLC will arrange for Barclays Capital Inc. to send you the prospectus if you request it by calling toll-free 1-877-76-iPATH, or you may request a copy from any other dealer participating in the offering.
Barclays Global Investors Services, a subsidiary of Barclays Global Investors, N.A. ("BGINA"), assists in the promotion of the Securities. Barclays Global Investors, N.A. and Barclays Capital Inc. ("BCI") are affiliates of Barclays Bank PLC.
iPath ETNs (the "Securities") are unsecured obligations of Barclays Bank PLC and are not secured debt. The Securities are riskier than ordinary unsecured debt securities and have no principal protection. Risks of investing in the Securities include limited portfolio diversification, trade price fluctuations, uncertain principal repayment, and illiquidity. Investing in the Securities is not equivalent to direct investment in index or index components. The investor fee will reduce the amount of your return at maturity or on redemption, and as a result you may receive less than the principal amount of your investment at maturity or upon redemption of your Securities even if the value of the relevant index has increased. An investment in iPath ETNs may not be suitable for all investors.
The Securities may be sold throughout the day on the exchange through any brokerage account. There are restrictions on the minimum number of Securities you may redeem directly with the issuer as specified in the applicable prospectus. Commissions may apply and there are tax consequences in the event of sale, redemption or maturity of Securities. Sales in the secondary market may result in significant losses.
The index components for iPath ETNs linked to commodities indexes are concentrated in thecommodities sector. The market value of the Securities may be influenced by many unpredictable factors, including, where applicable, highly volatile commodities prices, changes in supply and demand relationships; weather; agriculture; trade; pestilence; changes in interest rates; and monetary and other governmental policies, action and inaction. Index components that track the performance of a single commodity, or index components concentrated in a single sector, are speculative and may typically exhibit higher volatility. The current or "spot" prices of the underlying physical commodities may also affect, in a volatile and inconsistent manner, the prices of futures contracts in respect of the relevant commodity. These factors may affect the value of the index and the value of your Securities in varying ways.
An investment in iPath ETNs linked to the performance of a foreign currency exchange rate is subject to risks associated with fluctuations, particularly a decline, in the price of the applicable single foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Factors that may have the effect of causing a decline in the price of a foreign currency include national debt levels and trade deficits, domestic and foreign inflation rates, domestic and foreign interest rates, and global or regional economic, financial, political, regulatory, geographical or judicial events. Currency exchange rates may be extremely volatile, and exposure to a single currency can lead to significant losses.
An investment in the iPath ETNs linked to the MSCI India Total Return IndexSM may carry risks similar to a concentrated securities investment in a single region. International investments may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuation in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles or from economic or political instability in other nations. Emerging markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors as well as increased volatility and lower trading volume. Securities focusing on a single country may be subject to higher volatility.
