It was widely accepted in 2005 when the IOM report came out that when people ate less salt, they had a slight drop in blood pressure. But more rigorous studies since then showed that sodium consumption produced a number of negative effects in people who had mid-to-late stage heart failure and that there was little evidence that low sodium intake helped the subgroups of the population who are encouraged to keep their intake down to the 1,500 mg/day level.
The new IOM report concludes that, "Studies on health outcomes are inconsistent in quality and insufficient in quantity to conclude that lowering sodium intake levels below 2,300 mg/day either increases or decreases the risk of heart disease, stroke, or all-cause mortality in the general US population. " In fact, some recent studies suggest that sodium intake might affect the risk of heart disease via pathways other than high blood pressure.
"These studies make clear that looking at sodium's effects on blood pressure is not enough to determine dietary sodium's ultimate impact on health. Changes in diet are more complex than simply changing a single mineral. More research is needed to understand these pathways," Dr. Brian Strom, chairman of the IOM committee, said in a statement.
Americans should still limit their sodium intake to 2,300 mg/day, as there is good evidence that this level decreases the risk of heart disease. The new report does not recommend a "healthy" range; more research is needed to determine an association between low sodium intakes (1,500 and 2,300 mg/day) and health outcomes.
The new recommendations are not a signal that it's OK to stock up on chips. The American Heart Association disagrees with the conclusion of the IOM report and stands by its 1,500 mg/day recommendation, and the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a nonprofit organization, said they hope this report will not stop the government, food industry, health professionals, and consumers from pushing for lower sodium levels.
Another committee will take on the task of revising the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. New recommendations will be released in 2015. Perhaps by then we will better understand the biology behind the contradictory findings.
Regardless of what numbers ultimately evolve, the majority of Americans consume significantly more sodium than the 2,300 mg/day recommendation. While it is useful to continue to question and revise nutritional recommendations in light of new research, for most of us, using less salt on our food and paying attention to the sodium content of processed foods, eating out less often, and eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, meat, poultry, and fish, beans and peas, unsalted nuts, eggs, and low-fat or fat-free dairy is likely to be more important than setting a number that the average consumer probably won't understand or pay attention to anyway.

The drama isn't over between Adrienne Maloof and Paul Nassif. On Monday, Feb. 17, TMZ reported that the former "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star actually went to court on Valentine's Day in order to get an emergency restraining order against her ex-husband.
Adrienne claims that Paul violently snatched her phone away from her when she was just trying to photograph her kids the week prior. In his defense, Paul claims that Adrienne was actually trying to film him while he was disciplining one of their kids in order to use it against him in their ongoing custody battle. He says that it was she who was threatening, getting all up on him with the camera and almost hitting him.
The judge denied the emergency restraining order but did set a hearing for April.
So far, neither Adrienne or Paul have addressed the matter or even hinted that something went wrong via social media. Instead, both have posted messages and images showing them enjoying their respective long weekend with friends and family.
For two people who once seemed to be one of the most solid couples on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," things have certainly changed!
Who do you think is guilty of bad behavior? Adrienne Maloof or Paul Nassif?

WV Hot Dog Festival Organizers Present $10,000 Check to HFCH
Each year, dozens of hot dog vendors from across the region come to the West Virginia Hot Dog Festival at Huntington's Pullman Square to showcase their sauces and specialties. The Hot Dog Festival was founded by John Mandt Jr., owner of Stewart's Hot Dogs, and his friends at Clear Channel Media + Entertainment. With their recent presentation of the $10,000 raised during the 2013 Hot Dog Festival, donations to the Hoops Family Children's Hospital from this event now total more than $142,000.
"This event has done exactly what we had hoped it would do by raising awareness of the Hoops Family Children's Hospital and for children battling illness, while also raising money to help," Mandt said. "The community's involvement and support continues to grow, and we see more families bringing their pets to downtown Huntington to celebrate with us. All we ever wanted was to benefit the children's hospital and to provide an event that showcases our community."
With the festival approaching its 10th year, Mandt and Kym York-Blake, senior marketing consultant for Clear Channel Media and the festival's event coordinator, said their hopes for next year's event are higher than ever. Clear Channel organizes, promotes and provides staffing for the event each year.
"It is an honor for our Clear Channel Radio stations and employees to bring this event each year to the Tri-State and to see the great turnout and the volunteer and sponsor support from throughout the community," York-Blake said. "KEE 100, 103.3 TCR Country, Oldies 97.1, NewsTalk 800 WVHU, 106.3 The Brew, 24-7 Comedy 107.1, FOX Sports Radio 1230 & 1420, and iHeart Radio welcomes all families and their family dogs to enjoy all the delicious food, live entertainment, contests and the fun of the 10th Annual WV Hot Dog Festival scheduled for Saturday, July 26, 2014, in downtown Huntington at beautiful Pullman Square. We look forward to seeing everyone there."
"The Hoops Family Children's Hospital is fortunate to have a generous and passionate community that is committed to helping us provide the best care and facilities for our children," said Kristi Arrowood, Director of Development for the Cabell Huntington Hospital Foundation. "This event is always one of the most anticipated for our wonderful volunteers because it is a fun celebration with people dedicated to helping others. We greatly appreciate the hard work and dedication of John Mandt Jr. and everyone at Clear Channel for making this longstanding event successful."

LG G2 arrives at Verizon on September 12, AT&T on September 13
If you're in the US of A and are anxiously waiting to be able to get your hands on LG's new G2 superphone, here's some news for you. Apparently the Korean company's new flagship Android device will go on sale at the top 2 carriers in mid-September.
Verizon is set to start selling the G2 on September 12, with AT&T following suit just one day later, on September 13. This leaked time frame fits in nicely with LG's publicized plans to get the G2 out and about in as many countries as possible within eight weeks of its unveiling.
AT&T will start taking pre-orders for the LG G2 on September 3, and those who pre-order will get a free folio case. This information purportedly comes from "sources familiar with LG's plans" via Android Central.
Unfortunately they didn't have anything to say about when T-Mobile and Sprint will release the handset. Although it's going to be more than a month from the announcement, this release time frame is actually quite tight for LG, a company that's notoriously taken many months to bring new products to the US. But things are changing fast in the mobile world.
These release dates should also ensure that the G2 will be on the market before the Samsung Galaxy Note III, the HTC One Max, and even the new iPhone 5S.

New York, NY (February 28, 2011) - New Yorkers were dancing in their ice skates to the animated feature Happy Feet at the opening of the Winter Film Festival at Citi Pond at Bryant Park. For four nights this winter visitors to the ice rink and Celcius restaurant were treated to ice skating themed movies on a 3-story tall outdoor movie screen.
Brooklyn, NY-based Fresh Air Flicks installed the inflatable screen each night at the edge of the ice rink. The 46'x30' tall inflatable frame held a 40'x22' theatrical screen surface. Fresh Air Flicks used a Christie LX1500 for digital projection and added two JBL EON15 speakers to the existing sound system which also piped the movie soundtrack into the on-site restaurant.
The freezing temperatures and frequent snowstorms were no match for the Fresh Air Flicks and Citi Pond crew. The crew installed hot air blowers behind the screen, which nearly froze during each show, to keep it from cracking.
Many New Yorkers are familiar with the location which is also home to the world famous Bryant Park Summer Film Festival.
"The Winter Film Festival in Bryant Park is one of the most unique settings for an outdoor movie I've ever seen," explains Glen Sanders, President of Fresh Air Flicks. "Watching a movie outdoors while ice skating among the skyscrapers of Manhattan created a magical setting in this already iconic location."
About Fresh Air Flicks: Fresh Air Flicks is a trusted provider of technical services by many of the largest outdoor movie events in the New York area including movies under The Brooklyn Bridge, The Intrepid Air and Space Museum, The Film Society at Lincoln Center, The Metropolitan Opera, and the Central Park Film Festival. The company has been featured on the cover of the New Yorker, has appeared in Conde Nast Traveler and had a cameo in the feature film, How to Win Friends. In 2011 the company made cinema history with the first outdoor projection of a digital 3D movie featuring RealD 3D technology. Fresh Air Flicks provides technical services for outdoor movie screenings throughout NY, NJ, PA, CT, MD, MA, VT, DE, RI and VA. For more information about producing an outdoor movie event, please call 877-215-5500 or visit: www.FreshAirFlicks.com.
About Citi Pond at Bryant Park: Located between W. 40th Street and W. 42nd Streets and 5th and 6th Avenues, Citi Pond at Bryant Park is Manhattan's first and only free-admission ice skating rink.

Move on over ice cream. There's a new gelato in town! If you like Breyers Ice Cream, you'll fall in LOVE with Breyers Gelato Indulgences. Breyers is launching four new Gelato flavors in select stores this month, and will be available nationwide in February—just in time for Valentine's Day! Breyers Gelato Indulgences wants to give you a new reason to spoon on Valentine's Day—with or without your love—and these four new flavors can help make that happen.
Breyers Gelato Indulgences™ Deliciously Indulgent Flavors
- Vanilla Caramel: Creamy vanilla gelato with luscious caramel sauce & gourmet caramel curls
- Raspberry Cheesecake: Cheesecake gelato with luscious raspberry sauce & gourmet graham crumble
- Tiramisu: Mascarpone gelato with espresso sauce, ladyfinger cookie pieces & gourmet cocoa
- Triple Chocolate: Milk & Dark chocolate gelato with white chocolate sauce & chocolate curls
Breyers Gelato Indulgences™ will be available in a 28.5 oz clear tub, showcasing the gelato with its luscious sauce and gourmet toppings, and will retail for a suggested price of $4.49-$5.99.
We tried two of the new gelato flavors—Vanilla Caramel and Tiramisu—and I have to say, they were amazing! We love ice cream, but the new Gelato flavors from Breyers were so rich and silky smooth, it almost felt sinful to be enjoying them as much as we did! The Tiramisu Gelato was my absolute favorite. It really does taste like traditional tiramisu, complete with teeny little round ladyfingers folded in. The dusting of gourmet cocoa was like "icing on the cake!"
My hubby's favorite was Breyers Vanilla Caramel Gelato. The caramel sauce was so rich and buttery and was perfectly blended with just the right amount of gourmet vanilla gelato. We had to stop ourselves from eating both tubs in one sitting! Sadly, there is nothing left. The good news is, I can run to my local supermarket and pick up a few tubs of Breyers Gelato Indulgences™ in time for Valentine's Day!

does anyone know what happen to buster's 2 sons, james and william (or billy)? I remeber that his ex wife changed their last names to something else,
i was just curious if anyone knew
i was just curious if anyone knew
posted by:
Re: buster's sonsWed, December 8, 2004 - 9:00 AMFunny there should be a post here after months of none- I was just watching a bit of the Cameraman last night trying to convince my girlfriend that Buster is not to be confused with the 3 Stooges and others she detests.... I had her watch the short scene where he finally gets the phone call from his date and manages to race across town before she hangs up - she said she'd give Buster a try someday...
Anyway here's some info from a Keaton festival site that mentions the following about his kids, Jimmy and Bob, whose names were changed to Talmadge by the Harpies known as the Talmadge sisters.
"Buster's Keaton's granddaughter, Melissa Talmadge Cox .attended the festivities. Melissa was delightful and enthusiastic. She brought family photos of her Keaton and Talmadge relatives, sharing them with individuals one-on-one. Pix included a family picnic with Great-grandma Myra Keaton, Great Aunt Louise, Great Uncle Harry and Grandpa Buster. In one, small Melissa, in a swimsuit, holds hands in a wading pool with Grandpa Buster. Also, there was a rare photo of Grandpa sporting a big smile! Melissa's father, Jimmy and uncle, Bobby, are well and live in southern California. Melissa has two sons and a daughter, all high school-aged."
Re: buster's sonsWed, December 8, 2004 - 9:15 AMPS- The grandaughter, Melissa, helps support a Laughter is Medicine program at UCLA with relatives of Chaplin and others on the Board...
Re: buster's sonsWed, December 8, 2004 - 12:35 PMwell I watched a bio on him last night and then looked ithe sons up on the net and I think that they changed their last names back to keaton when they had the chance to.
Re: buster's sonsWed, December 8, 2004 - 12:36 PMbtw you should try to get your girlfriend to watch Harold Lloyd as well , he is fantastic to watch work
Re: buster's sonsWed, December 8, 2004 - 3:03 PMFirst, you're right about Harold Lloyd - he is second on my list..
BTW - Lloyd's grandaughter has just put out a book of nudes by HL, and is planning DVD releases soon of his movies.
I don't think Jimmy changed back to a Keaton because his daughter's maiden name is Talmadge. Jimmy was originally Joseph after Buster's dad, but as part of their anti-Buster vendetta the Talmadge's re-named him Jimmy.

"Sleepy Hollow" has been a big hit for FOX in its first season, with the finale airing Monday, and on Friday, Jan. 17, Nicole Beharie talked to reporters about what to expect.
There is a lot coming up in the "Sleepy Hollow" season 1 finale, including "quite a bit" of surprises, John Noble, and Victor Garber, Beharie revealed, previewing, "The story starts off where Abbie and Crane unearth secrets in the Bible, as you guys saw at the end of the last episode, and they discover new things about the nature of George Washington's death and that basically sends them on this mad hunt, and that hunt tests some loyalties and there are sacrifices made." She later teased that the finale is "drastically different from where we started…and I don't think anyone will expect what we uncover."
Could those loyalties tested involve Ichabod and Abbie? Could that cause a rift? "There are challenges along the way for every character," the actress admitted, but added, "For the most part, they are on the same side." That said, "There are a lot of tests coming up. With tests come those sort of challenges and definitions of what your character…the character's character, who they are, what they really stand for, how much they can actually withstand. I think we see some of that, and that's challenging."
As for the possible romance between Ichabod and Abbie that some fans have noticed, Beharie chose to point out that with the nature of their lives and the fast pace of the show, there isn't really any time for romance. "I know that [Ichabod and Abbie] have chemistry, but god only knows what happens in the future," she said. "I know Abbie personally isn't really thinking that way. I think they have a massive job, massive undertaking – saving the world is a pretty big deal."
Just like Beharie called the finale "drastically different" from the beginning of the season, she also talked about how her character has changed from when we first met her. "Her mind is completely blown open. She's done so many things that she could never imagine, seen things," she told reporters. Abbie is more comfortable in her skin and thinking outside the box.

I've been running 4 Seagate 160GB HDD's in Raid 1/0 for about 4 years now. I've since purchased 4 VelociRaptors to replace those disks.
I'm planning on pulling the disks out and putting them aside for safe keeping (in case I've missed anything in my backup), but I'm wondering if I need to have a solid record of what SATA port they were attached to in my Raid config.

With the regime of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki disintegrating before the world's very eyes, the top two Democrats are very publicly pointing fingers as to exactly where the blame lies. As the Cybercast News Service reported on Aug. 9, 2014, and The American Thinker news portal notes on Aug. 10, 2014, the American Commander in Chief, and the former Secretary of State and presumed Democratic presidential front runner for 2016 are quick to point blame at others for the debacle that is Iraq.
Despite Obama making a great deal of political hay of his vow of withdrawing American military personnel from Iraq during the 2008 presidential election, the chief Executive is now claiming that his order to remove all U.S. troops from Iraq was not "my decision" according to CNSnews.com's Terrence P. Jeffrey. As cited by the news portal's editor at large, while on the campaign trail, Obama had quite the penchant for stating "You know I say what I mean and I mean what I say" as well as his oft-quoted "I said I'd end the war in Iraq. I ended it."
However, now Obama is hedging his bets by appearing to blame the previous administration of George W. Bush. At last Friday's impromptu press conference on the South Lawn, Obama was queried by a reporter, "Mr. President, do you have any second thoughts about pulling all ground troops out of Iraq?" the reporter asked. "And does it give you pause as the U.S.--is it doing the same thing in Afghanistan?" To wit, Obama's reply raised the eyebrows of more than a few conservatives, "What I just find interesting is the degree to which this issue keeps on coming up, as if this was my decision."
On the heels of Obama's apparent about face, The American Thinker's Rick Moran notes that Hillary Clinton's implying that the rise of ISIS (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria) is the due to Obama beating a hasty retreat is entirely a making of his own doing:
The failure to help build up a credible fighting force of the people who were the originators of the protests against Assad—there were Islamists, there were secularists, there was everything in the middle—the failure to do that left a big vacuum, which the jihadists have now filled.
During the tour of duty as Obama's Secretary of State, she was the model of a loyal apparatchik of the Administration and the Democratic Party, yet upon the tendering of her resignation, she hasn't held back in barbed swipes aimed directly at her former boss. As quoted in Moran's piece, "Clinton also made fun of Obama's foreign policy philosophy: 'Great nations need organizing principles,' and 'Don't do stupid stuff' is not an organizing principle."
As previously covered by Examiner.com, the Obama vs. Clinton feud may be reaching its boiling point. Recently published book "Blood Feud" by Edward Klein, that author flatly accuses each side of saying some rather nasty thing concerning each other.
Taken from the White House tell-all was an example Michelle Obama's intimating to White House heavyweight Valarie Jarrett her exact feelings of Hillary Clinton:
On most evenings, Michelle Obama and her trusted adviser, Valerie Jarrett, met in a quiet corner of the White House residence. They'd usually open a bottle of Chardonnay, catch up on news about Sasha and Malia, and gossip about people who gave them heartburn.
Their favorite bête noire was Hillary Clinton, whom they nicknamed 'Hildebeest,' after the menacing and shaggy-maned gnu that roams the Serengeti.
On the other side of the coin was a re-telling of Bill Clinton's lack of love for Barack Obama:
I hate that man, Obama, more than any man I've ever met, more than any man who ever lived.

Quite a simple one here, but I guess the answer will be a resounding no!
I have a few symbols, basic clip-art, which I'd like to display depending on certain information.
At the moment, I'm using this statement to display Y or N:
=IF(B2>0,VLOOKUP(B2,'Student Data'!$A$2:$L$36,8),"")
It's a simple lookup which checks another worksheet to see if someone has entered "Y" or "N" into the relevant column.
What I'm wondering is this: would it be possible to display these clip-art images (I have them in .PNG format) instead of simple text? I.e.
Thanks in advance,

Beyonce fans might have thought there might be something to the entertainer showing off her body in the new videos and they were absolutely right. According to the "Daily Mail" on Friday the accomplished artist wanted to show she lost all the fat that comes with having a baby. Beyonce lost 65 pounds after Blue Ivy's birth and she is proud of herself.
"I was 195 pounds when I gave birth. I lost 65 pounds," said Beyonce talking about her weight loss journey. "I worked crazily to get my body back. I wanted to show my body."
Beyonce does show her body in the latest videos she released, The entertainer is seen in at least a half dozen costumes and each one reveals a different part of her body that looks smoking hot. Knowing that the fans are watching, it appears that the star exercised hard, ate correctly and kept on a program to watch the fat fall right off.
Beyonce has many moms looking at her and admiring. While it is one thing to think about getting your body back in shape after childbirth, but doing it is entirely different. Accomplishing the task and sharing the results has everyone wondering if they can too. Of course, the fans won't be able to show off their figure in a music video, but that doesn't mean a stroll down the beach for all to see is out of the question.

For the first time at the IIHF 2013 World Junior Championship in Ufa, Russia, Canadian coach Steve Spott got a good glimpse of what his team can accomplish with a full complement of players.
The bottom line is this: It's pretty impressive.
Third-line checking forward Boone Jenner returned to the lineup Monday against Russia after serving a three-game suspension for a pre-tournament hit on Sweden's Jesper Pettersson in the second period of a Dec. 22 contest in Helsinki, Finland. Pettersson suffered a broken wrist and a dislocated shoulder on the play.
His return gave Spott 13 forwards to work with for the first time at the event. It also gave the veteran coach one more top penalty-killer at his disposal.
"He brings more of a forecheck presence," Spott said. "We want to be an aggressive team on the forecheck and he gives you that element. He's going to be a tremendous leader one day for the Blue Jackets, and he is a tremendous leader for us right now."
The 6-foot-2, 205-pound power forward didn't register a point in his return, but basically did everything else in his first game of the tournament -- a 4-1 victory over the rival Russians that enabled Canada to clinch a first-round bye into the semifinals of the medal round.
"It was awesome," Jenner told TSN. "I mean, my adrenaline had been going since I woke up [Monday] morning. We knew the arena was going to be electric and we wanted to feed off of that energy, so I've been raring to go and thinking about that game so it was good to get out there and back on the ice."
Jenner won nine of 16 faceoffs, took four shots, delivered a few big hits, was a key part of the penalty kill and, most importantly, provided energy and enthusiasm on every shift.
It was a typical day at the office for the 2011 second-round draft pick (No. 37) of the Columbus Blue Jackets, who was awarded the black cape as Canada's game-day hero against Russia.
"I'm here to play hockey and that's what I'm going to do … I'm going to play hard," Jenner said. "It feels good [to earn the cape]. I haven't worn one in a while, so I'm happy to get it."
Jenner was inserted into his usual spot on the team's checking line with wings Phillip Danault and Brett Ritchie to open the game. He felt there was plenty of chemistry from the outset.
"We're all hard on the forecheck, like cycling pucks and both Ritchie and Phil are big bodies," Jenner said. "We're doing good and need to keep that going [into the medal round]."
Jenner was asked if the incident involving Pettersson has forced him to rethink his style of play at the WJC.
"You want to make sure you don't cross over the line," he said. "I just have to control what I can control."

USBWA All-District Teams as a PDF File

News from the American Psychoanalytic Association Integrating Child and Adult Analysis: the New York Meeting
by Janis Baeuerlen, MD, Co-Chair, Committee on Child Analysis
A national child and adolescent psychoanalytic congress convened in New York preceding the APsaA meetings to address how analytic programs can integrate exposure to child work and development more effectively. At a time when the IPA has initiated its first-ever committee on child analysis, child programs in institutes of the APsaA are struggling against unexamined reluctance from both sides – those that seek to keep child work undiluted, and those that do not see its relevance for adult work. Child analysts sometimes fear a dilution of their discussions if adult analysts participate in a less sophisticated way about child thinking and technique. Adult analysts may think that there is already enough to think and learn about without adding the complications of dealing with smaller patients who come to treatment with real parents in tow.
At the congress a number of proposals were made, many of which are already in place at SFCP including: having child analysts on all major committees, having a vibrant child-adult case conference for all adult candidates, and encouraging the use of child cases and literature in adult analytic seminars.
There are other changes that we could make. For example, on admission to analytic training, one institute of the APsaA asks the newly admitted candidate whether she/he wants to be in the child-only track, the adult-only track, or the combined track. In this way the Admissions Committee takes a more active role in making the candidates aware of the institute's serious commitment to child training. Other institutes make sure that, in all scientific meeting presentations, both an adult analyst and a child analyst are discussants.
We hope that the meeting will stimulate a more comprehensive discussion here about child analysis and its value for the training of adult candidates. Child analysts have as much to offer for suffering children (and their parents) as adult analysts have to offer for suffering adults.

For the second time in as many days, the Nats starting pitcher was knocked around as the Nats lost 10-4 to St. Louis.
Jordan Zimmermann, who had come into the contest with a 0.00 ERA in three previous outing, gave up six runs on eight hits and two walks and did not strike out a batter. He also threw two wild pitches.
Zimmermann is still quite likely to make the cut, but Storen's outing? Well, that's a horse of a different color. For the fourth time in six appearances this spring, Storen was hit hard, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks. Three of the four hits went for extra bases, with two home runs and triple, and he also did not strike out a batter.
As mentioned in yesterday morning's post, GM Mike Rizzo is pleased to have players with options. WaPo beat writer Adam Kilgore deftly points out that it's possible for Storen to be sent down for just that reason.
What's more likely is that Storen may no longer be the ninth-inning pitcher as the closer-by-committee has been mentioned lately. Strong performances by Sean Burnett and Collin Balester in yesterday's game are helping to make the case.
Brian Broderick continues to make his case for sticking with the club, pitching another scoreless inning yesterday to lower his spring ERA to 0.93, and is starting to attract notice outside this space.
Other notable prospects…
- Boomer Whiting made his first appearance, going 0-for-1 and snagging a flyball in the 9th
- Derek Norris drew a walk and caught the last three innings, but was charged with a passed ball
- Matt Antonelli went 0-for-1 as a pinch hitter and played the 9th inning at 2B without any defensive chances
The loss drops the Nats to 10-10 for the spring, as they return to Port St. Lucie this afternoon to play the Mets. The game will broadcast on the radio via 106.7FM and can be seen on MLB.tv
3 Responses to "Zimmermann, Storen Take A Beating In 10-4 Loss"
Broderick has been posting great outings this spring – As you mentioned, a 0.93ERA, but also a 0.620WHIP, a 4:1 GO/FO ratio, and a .125BAA. What's the mantra… All he does is get batters out.
Off the subject line, but curious; Are you planning on going to the PNats pre-season gig?
There really is no reason for Storen to start the season with the big club if he is struggling badly. Let him go back to AAA for a month and get straightened out where the pressure will be less. He's less than two years out from pitching in college–plenty of time to eventually win the closer's job on merit rather than just pedigree.

The man responsible for overseeing David Cameron's changing hair rejects cronyism claims - and denies the leader has a bald spot.
10:02, UK, Wednesday 08 January 2014
The Prime Minister's hairdresser has insisted he was awarded an MBE for his charity work, after claims he had benefited from cronyism.
Lino Carbosiero, who is based at the Daniel Galvin salon in central London, was given the gong for services to hairdressing in the New Year honours list.
When asked why he thought he had been recognised, he told Sky News: "I'd like to think it's down to a lot of the charity work that I do, and also I'm striving to push state registration in hairdressing throughout the country.
"I want to get to the young kid who's in a small salon. It's not the salon owner's fault because they might be a one-man band where they don't have the time to educate their assistants, but I want to make sure all youngsters get the fair training that they deserve."
Mr Carbosiero, whose clients include Kylie Minogue, Sir Paul McCartney and Dustin Hoffman, also admitted to Sky News that changing the PM's parting from right to left was a "complete mistake".
He said he found the amount of attention given to Mr Cameron's hair "quite funny".
When the parting was changed in 2007, it led to claims he was trying to look tougher or cover up a receding hairline.
Mr Carbosiero, who has cut Mr Cameron's hair since he was leader of the Opposition, said: "Any of my clients will back me up on this, I never remember where the parting is and I probably, when I cut his hair at the time, just cut it to the way I thought it went.
"We didn't notice and it went from there. It was a complete mistake, I never remember people's partings. I guess and I always get it wrong."
When asked about Mr Cameron's bald spot, which was spotted by parliamentary sketchwriters in the House of Commons, he replied: "What bald spot?"
Last week it was revealed that former prime minister Margaret Thatcher had 118 hair appointments in one year when she was in Downing Street, and Mr Carbosiero said image was important for politicians.
He said: "Someone told me today about Margaret Thatcher's hair and I'd want whoever represents our country to look smart and presentable and not to look like they don't care.
"I think it's a massive reflection on people … they represent our country at the highest level."

Beverly Mitchell was a compulsive hoarder, and her death is now shocking readers everywhere. Mitchell's neurotic need to hoard common detritus, while known to cause health risks, impair social functioning and render adverse effects on friends and family members, also was the actual cause of her death. The 66-year-old's first floor of her small Connecticut home literally gave way under the weight of her accumulated debris, crushing her under a suffocating mountain of her own amassed clutter.
Police responded to Mitchell's home over the weekend after a concerned postal carrier noticed her mail piling up on the porch outside her Cheshire, Conn. home. Like many hoarders, Mitchell lived alone and rarely left her house. Authorities called at her home on Thursday, then returned Friday when there was no response.
After breaking partway in, investigators realized the enormity of the situation – mountains of debris piled high in the basement after Mitchell's floor had given way. A hole had to be cut into the wall to gain entrance, and a backhoe was brought in to clear the waste. Under it all was Mitchell, thought to be dead one week.
For more on her story, see:
Beverly Mitchell hoarder dies: Hoarder crushed under the weight of her own junk?
As the video above showed, compulsive hoarding knows no end. Individuals suffering under rampant hoarding cannot stop, often until someone forces them to or evicts them.
Compulsive hoarding has only recently began to be studied, with the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, published by the American Psychiatric Association (AMA), not defining it until 2013. The AMA estimates a prevalence rate of hoarding is present in 2 to 5 percent of adults.
As advanced age sets in, coupled with events that may lead to loneliness – such as the death of a mate or the moving out of one's children – the tendencies to hoard are no longer kept at bay. For that reason, hoarding is often connected to other psychological disorders, such as depression, anxiety and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, as well as paranoid schizotypal traits.
The Anxiety and Depression Associated of America (ADAA) provides the following fictional narrative as to the anxious thoughts of a typical compulsive hoarder:
I've always had trouble throwing things away. Magazines, newspapers, old clothes… What if I need them one day? I don't want to risk throwing something out that might be valuable. The large piles of stuff in our house keep growing so it's difficult to move around and sit or eat together as a family.
My husband is upset and embarrassed, and we get into horrible fights. I'm scared when he threatens to leave me. My children won't invite friends over, and I feel guilty that the clutter makes them cry. But I get so anxious when I try to throw anything away. I don't know what's wrong with me, and I don't know what to do.
The ADAA defines hoarding as a "persistent difficulty discarding or parting with possessions, regardless of their actual value," and cites such things as newspapers, plastic bags, boxes, household supplies, old food – even excrement – as items a hoarder cannot part with.
Reasons for a person's hoarding, per the ADAA, include the following:
People hoard because they believe that an item will be useful or valuable in the future. Or they feel it has sentimental value, is unique and irreplaceable, or too big a bargain to throw away. They may also consider an item a reminder that will jog their memory, thinking that without it they won't remember an important person or event. Or because they can't decide where something belongs, it's better just to keep it.
The International OCD Foundation offers therapy and placement to treatment centers for anyone suffering from obsessive hoarding.

Bachmann: 'Much, Much Closer to That Decision'
Conventional wisdom seems to suggest Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann benefits the most from Mike Huckabee's decision not to run.
Apparently, Ms. Bachmann agrees – and now might even announce this month.
During a Tuesday interview on Fox News Channel, the Minnesota congresswoman said the Arkansas governor's announcement over the weekend "has changed the grass roots and what they are looking for.
"Our phones have been ringing off the hook, our Facebook has been lit up, our donations are pouring in," Ms. Bachmann said, referring to the activists encouraging her to run.
"We had announced earlier that we would be looking at a June entry data for a decision one way or another about this race," she said. "Possibly, we may move that up."
Speculation is swirling ever since Mr. Huckabee took his name out of contention during a cliffhanger announcement Saturday night that juiced ratings for his show. Attention has turned to Ms. Bachmann, who most Republicans expect to run based on the early signs of support for her among Christian conservatives on the ground in Iowa.
Those voters supported Mr. Huckabee by a wide margin in 2008, so it's no secret that Ms. Bachmann will make a play for their support. She said she has spoken to former Arkansas governor in the days since he dropped out, but she said, "I think it's best to say that conversation should be held confidential."

Entry into Canada update
Received this yesterday and thought some may be interested
Welcome to Canada !
It is my extreme pleasure to tell everyone that I was honoured last Friday to be invited to a conference call from the Federal Minister of Citizenship and Immigration Canada who announced to us all privately that he signed into law last Friday, effective March 1st 2012, a new program for the border crossing issues involving minor misdemeanours.
This involves particularly, but not solely, DUIs. These laws have now been relaxed making entry to Canada much easier with a one time minor offence.
He told us that anyone who is a single, one time offender of any misdemeanour including DUI, bar fights, assault, bad checks, etc. and who did not serve more than 6 months in jail will now be automatically allowed into Canada and not turned back with NO FEES required and they have also made the rehabilitation process much simpler, quicker and easy to fill out now too.
The Minister apologized to all of us in the tourism business and said it was never their intention for the law to go this far. They never meant for one time offenders, who made a single one time mistake sometime in their life, to not be permitted into Canada and he was changing this law to be effective right away, as of March 1st.
He explained that you can now fill out your rehabilitation forms as of March 1st at no cost and be automatically granted a one time pardon effective immediately March 1st, so you will not be stopped or turn back ever again for anyone with a one time offence.
If you do not fill out this form ahead of time then you simply get pulled over when attempting to cross and informed how to fill out the paperwork, but still allowed to cross over the border. If you never fill out the form it is our understanding that all that will happen is that you continue to get pulled over each time, so they can continue to explain what to do to get this erased from your record, but again you do not get denied entry for one time offenders and it does not make any difference if your offence was last week, last month or last year as there is no waiting time now at all to process rehabilitation like before when you had to wait 5 years for one time offenders, unless you had extenuating circumstances like a hit and run or manslaughter while DUI etc.
If you are a multiple offender and have more than one misdemeanour or DUI then it reverts back to the old law now currently on the books where you still have to wait 5 years from the date of your most recent conviction and then in this case you will have to pay the $200.00 fee and send in the rehabilitation forms after 5 years, which you will then be allowed to cross the border again.
I am so excited, I feel like we just won the lottery. The current rule has affected all Canadian tourism, coast to coast, in a devastating way and we have been fighting to change it for years. I was a huge outspoken advocate of changing this law and our Minister acknowledged this on the phone to everyone that he heard guys like Eric Brown loud and clear, which made me feel like a million bucks and very proud of my efforts to get this law changed now!
We will continue to send out more announcements as we learn more, as we were only on the phone with the Minister 30 minutes last Friday and he promised more details to follow after March 1st. We will be sure to send you the link to the Government of Canada website as soon as this information goes live on March 1st. The Minister wanted us to all hear the news from him personally to all those who fought so hard to have the old law changed! We wanted to pass this information on to you immediately, with the hopes that you start planning your 2012 Canadian fishing trip with Totem Resorts.
Have a great week everyone and YAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stay tuned for more details on our March 1st Newsletter.
Eric Brown
President and Owner
Totem Resorts
That's good news. The one time offender needed some slack.
Until Jinx tells me it is true I won't believe it
Eric, the change in the law from my viewpoint is long overdue. It looks like you spent alot of time on this matter so Ill Thank you.
I never understood how a Minor violation in the US shut down travel for US citizens that spend ALOT of money on tourisum in Canada and help the economy.
As an owner of numerous small business's guests who want to enter and spend money in Canada would be a business plan which would be my first priority. Minor violation, let them in thats a no brainer to me. More people more dollars for the Canadian economy.
Ive gone to Canada north to Red Lake Ont. for over 35 years fishing and we would drive 12 hrs and fly into our cabin using Showalters service. Its been over six years since Ive gone because one or two members has a Minor DUI and will not pay $200.00 to get into Canada. Its like a slap in the face another $ 200.00 and each person will spend $1000.00 or more in a week X 8 guys I would take north.
Math you charge $200.00 to get in they spend $1000.00 and dont apply your LOSS $1000.00. to stimulate your Economy. You charge $200.00 to get back in and it takes 6 months to a year to get the paper work back. People dont like the hassle.
Now if someone had a DUI in Canada that was from the USA then charge them up.

My wife just read this and said to me "This is a good thing because if sexy is a crime you would not have been allowed in Canada".
Everybody deserves a second chance.
Regarding Eric's letter, I believe he may have jumped the gun and interpreted things incorrectly. The proposed change applies to those with a one time minor criminal charge...no matter how recent. That part is correct....but it is only a "one time" deal. In other words you get across once. Now, it was mentioned this was an interim step for this summer and further changes would be considered. Let's hope this will expand a bit to generally return some sanity back to the border. It will be effective March 1....I think waiting for the information to be released at that time is prudent. I will post any information at that time......especially since one member private messaged me and called bullsh#t on my initial post. Regardless, it is a good start and you can count on continued pressure for further changes. Fish on!
I still can't understand how anyone can consider "assault, DUI, theft etc" as a "minor" offence. I'll wait to see this in actual writing before I believe anything about it. It sounds like political BS to me. Plus...if you guys are SOOOOO concerned why not petition YOUR OWN GOVERNMENT to do the same thing?
Canadians with a single criminal conviction are not allowed to enter the USA either. I don't hear you whining about that.
This whole topic is pure speculation until something comes out in official policy from the Federal Government.

Shipping Pallets: Are pallets the most important object in the global economy?
August 14, 2012 - MMH Editorial
It's not every day that materials handling and transport packaging, let along pallets, are covered in the mainstream media. It's less common that an outsider steps into our world with that sense of curiosity of how things work that is the mark of good reporters. It's even less common that they understand it.
That's all prelude to an article about the role of the pallet in the global supply chain by Tom Vanderbilt that was posted on Slate.com today.
In the interest of full disclosure, I'm a little obsessed with pallets since I grew up in the industry. There's probably a twelve step program for guys like me. What's more, Vanderbilt called me to learn about the industry and quotes me in the piece. So, complimenting an article in which I am quoted is a little like my mother telling you I wrote a great piece on conveyors. However, Vanderbilt did his own reporting and called Mark White, a professor emeritus at Virginia Tech. To quote the lyrics of one of my favorite country songs, Mark has forgotten more about pallets than I'll ever know.
The point he made, and one I think our industry should keep making over and over again, is that materials handling products and processes - whether its the mundane like corrugated cartons and pallets or the sexy like shuttle systems and AGVs - are playing a vital but unreported role in delivering the products that make all of our lives a little more enjoyable.

Studio 18 Application Guidelines
Located on the second floor of the Gertrude complex, Studio 18 is a residential studio space available to international and interstate artists and curators. The Studio 18 program allows visitors to participate in and contribute to Melbourne's art community, and also facilitates the exchange of information between Australian and international artists. Visiting artists to Studio 18 benefit from working within a professionally supported environment of artists and colleagues.
Studio 18 is a self contained open plan studio and living space, approximately 96m2, with good natural and artificial light.
It encompasses a small kitchen equipped with cooking facilities,

The studio is centrally located in an area in which artists, arts professionals, academics and students reside, and the locale of many galleries, affordable cafes and restaurants, and is about a kilometre from the central business district of Melbourne. Access to public transport means that most areas of the city and surrounding suburbs can be reached easily.
Contemporary visual artists pursuing an innovative practice in a professional capacity are eligible to apply. The ability to accommodate artists using very heavy or unusually large materials may be limited due to restricted access. Artists wishing to use power tools or toxic materials (such as resin) should indicate their intentions.

My wife, the devout Christian, has been laboring under the belief that I am seeking God, seeking Jesus, seeking the Biblical Truth, or some other things which have not happened and have little chance of succeeding in my life or world. Realize that Biblical "Truth" is different from real, proven, factual, scientific, empirical truth.
Recently she has let it slip that she is also (or now) hoping that if nothing else occurs, I will be involved in a deathbed conversion. This, as she envisions it, would be suddenly and completely coming to a belief that Christianity is right, that the various Christian denominations are all headed for God any way, and that conversion to Christianity even at the last minute or second, would be enough to guarantee a person going to heaven.
In her way of thinking and that of those around her, there seems to be evidence of this, if you buy the whole Christian thing, lock, stock and barrel.
Take the case of Dr. James C. Dobson, the founder of the religious group Focus on the Family. He would be considered extreme right wing religious, even though he holds an MD. with a specialty in pediatrics in addition to the PhD. that he also holds in something else.
One rumor about him is the oft-believed "fact" that on the night before Ted Bundy was to be and was executed, Dr. Dobson met with him. In the parlance of the Christian evangelists of the time and with this involuntary deathbed conversation, Dr. Dobson "brought him to the Lord". It was, according to those who should know, a true deathbed conversation of this serial killer.
I have several problems with this. First, Ted Bundy knowingly killed some 32 young women, with the possibility and suspicion of many more. Thus, if true, and if the Bible is to be believed, Ted Bundy is sitting up there in heaven right now with Jesus and his daddy, enjoying all the supposed benefits of the Christian afterlife. And that despite killing in cold blood 32 or more women. Not bad for an unrepentant serial killer.
But back to my deathbed conversion. Of course, I do not know if I will die over a few days of a prolonged illness or be hit by a bus, or fall off of a cliff while trying to take a photograph.
But let's assume that I have a little time at the end, a few days or so of consciousness and cognitive thinking before that big black void. In this hypothetical case, I think that a deathbed conversation is completely possible.
If my wife is able to coax an active, All-American card-carrying theologically-trained minister or pastor to my bedside for a day or two, I think that I would have a pretty good chance of converting that guy or gal away from their unproven delusion and at least into agnosticism. Getting him or her to atheism might be a stretch.
