Novel recombinant protein therapeutics and the increasing demand for existing molecules continuously raise the need for higher biopharmaceutical manufacturing capacities.
This bolsters the need for efficient and robust bioprocesses. These are required for each individual molecule to ensure consistent product quality and to avoid interruptions in market supply due to production failures.
Consequently, biopharma companies and regulatory authorities like the FDA have increased efforts toward improving the characterization and the mechanistic understanding of manufacturing processes in recent years.
Widespread use of scale-down models and initiatives like PAT or QbD have resulted in growing collections of physicochemical product information and high-quality fermentation data. This often includes on-line signals as well as transcript and metabolite measurements.
Such data potentially represents a rich resource for increasing the speed and efficiency of process development. However, evaluation and interpretation of the acquired data frequently lag behind.
Cellular network models are well suited to guide process development for several reasons:
Metabolic network models add value to metabolomics data from industrial fermentations by enabling such predictions. Model simulations support rapid hypothesis testing to assess, e.g., the impact of media changes on growth, product formation, or on intracellular metabolism.
In this article, we illustrate the application of network model-driven process design for predicting optimized media compositions for improved product titer in a CHO cell culture process.
The metabolic network of the CHO cell was reconstructed using information from public databases and primary literature. Stoichiometry, reversibility, and the elemental composition of metabolites was modeled for every reaction. Enzymatic reactions were mapped to corresponding genes based on a genome annotation for mouse.
The model comprises different cellular compartments (cytosol, mitochondria, ER, Golgi) and the fermenter. It accounts for the glycoform structure and amino acid composition of the product molecule as well as for known cell line specific genetic modifications of metabolic enzymes.
First, we applied the model to characterize the reference process based on time series of extracellular metabolite concentrations from a fed-batch fermentation. For each physiologically distinct process phase, cell-specific rates of nutrient uptake, growth, and product formation were calculated from mass balances (Figure 1), employing Monte Carlo simulation to calculate error propagation.
From these extracellular rates, we computed intracellular flux distributions using metabolic flux analysis and the CHO network model. By comparing the flux distributions in different process phases, it is possible to identify (i) pathways with significant flux changes during the fermentation and (ii) process phases with favorable flux distribution.
Such information cannot be inferred from measured concentration time series alone, but requires the use of an appropriate model. Moreover, the results obtained provide a first assessment of cellular energy status and of nutrient fractions supplied by cellular uptake and/or synthesis, respectively.

FINDLAY - Same teams. Same place. Same stakes.
One year after Mohawk dropped Midland Athletic League rival New Riegel in a district final at Findlay High School, starting the Warriors off on a road that ended at the state Final Four, the teams will meet again with another district title on the line.
The Warriors and Blue Jackets each posted three-game district semifinal victories Tuesday at Findlay. New Riegel held off Carey, 29-27, 26-24, 25-19, while Mohawk dispatched of Calvert 25-19, 25-7, 25-11 to set up a rematch Thursday.
New Riegel coach Cindy Walerius said she walked out of the gym last year with a bad taste in her mouth. The regular season encounter with the Warriors did little to ease that as Mohawk won in four. However, she said this game is the one she's been waiting for.
"Honestly, Ive been waiting a year," Walerius said. "That last year left a bad taste in my mouth and I've been waiting a year. And even when we played them in the regular season, yeah it was a good game, but I honestly didn't feel we deserved to win that night. We didn't not play as we could've or should've, and they definitely beat us, and I've been waiting for this.
"And I think the girls are too. They're ready and I'm sure Mohawk, they're ready for us too. It's such a rivalry."
"It's going to be intense; its going to be a lot of fun," Mohawk coach Eric Hoover said. "I know when we played them earlier in the year, all the games were close; it was a lot of fun. We were lucky enough to come out on top that time. I hope for the same. But they battled tonight and had a big test. So they're going to be ready."
Early in the night, New Riegel's spot in Thursday's final was far from a sure thing. Carey's senior Hannah Tong was an unstoppable force, slamming kills all over the gym at Findlay as the Blue Devils raced out to a 21-11 lead in the opening game, with Tong collecting eight kills during that stretch.
"She's just outstanding. When shes on, she's fun to watch," Carey coach Eric Vackert said of the University of Findlay recruit. "She came to play. She can pound that ball, and when she's on blocking the ball, she's tough to hit around. This year, she's really turned into an all around player. Passing the ball and even serving the ball."
Then things took a turn.
Walerius inserted Natalie Reinhart, a sophomore that spent the majority of the regular season playing JV ball, into serve. The result was 10 straight Blue Jacket points, drawing the game even.
"I just started this on Saturday, I let her come in to serve, because she's played JV all year and she has a really good serve," Walerius said. "We brought her in for that rotation and I'll tell you what, tonight it made me look like a genius, but she did a great job. That's hard to do coming off the bench. She's sitting there cold, and to come in to serve, and she served some bullets."
Carey, though, responded with back-to-back kills from Tong and one from Shelby Kin to bring the Blue Devils to game-point. However, New Riegel fought it off, just like it would two more times in the game, before finally taking the game 29-27.
Taylor Arbogast had eight of her team-high 16 kills in the first game, four of those came after Carey hit 24 on the scoreboard.
"Well, we're playing one of the better teams in the state of Ohio," Vackert said. "We talked about that we had to keep our cool, because they're going to make some runs, they're going to make some plays. You notice I burnt those timeouts real quick ... just to try to hold on. But you know, I thought we gave it everything we had. But I thought if we could get that first game, (it would have) put some pressure on them. Being 14-9 and playing a state-ranked team, we had nothing to lose."
The second game nearly matched the drama of the first game. Carey held a 14-11 lead, only to see New Riegel go on a 12-1 run to take what seemed to be a commanding 23-15 lead. This time it was Carey's turn to rally. Tong had five kills during a 9-1 Carey run that tied the game at 24. Kara Scherger, though, put down the next two kills to give New Riegel the game and a 2-0 advantage.
"When it got close I though 'oh we can pull this out because we've been here before,'" Walerius said. "We've been in these pressure situations. I want to think it was our experience that got us through that first two."
Carey had game three within two at 17-15, but Arbogast and Scherger helped New Riegel pull way to seal the match.
Scherger finished with 11 kills and eight digs while Lauren Ladd had 15 kills. Tong finished with 22 kills for Carey.
The second match saw an opening game battle between Mohawk and Calvert. The game was tied eight times early on, and every time Mohawk looked to pull away, Calvert was ready with an answer. Mohawk led by only one, at 19-18, before finally getting some separation, ending the game on a 6-1 run.
Hoover said he thought some nerves played into the first game.
"Every game there's going to be a little nerves at the beginning from both teams, I think. A little feeling out period where you go back and fourth," he said. "And thats what happened that first half of the game. We made a lot of unforced errors, some net violations and those kind of things. After that, once we got going at the end of that game, we never really looked back."
Mohawk erased any hope of a Calvert rally in the second game early, jumping out to a 15-1 lead. Including a period of nine-straight points served by Julie Adelsperger.
Meridith Lucius put down three kills in a row to give Calvert a glimmer of hope, but Mohawk's serve was tough for Calvert to handle. Taylor McClain picked up four aces toward the end of the game as Mohawk cruised to a second game victory.
"We served well," Hoover said. "We kept them out of their offense, got a lot of easier balls for us to play. So we were just attacking all the time. They were always on defense. It felt like we were always attacking."
"We just knew that in order to win the game and get ahead, we had to get our serves in. We were just serving them as hard as we could," Adelsperger said. "I think thats what pushed us the rest of the way, that big run that we had with all those serves, gave us a lot of momentum for the other two games."
Mohawk took control early in game 3 going up 9-2 and steadily increasing the lead the rest of the way, before Sarah Parker put down her 14th and final kill of the match to send Mohawk back to the district final.
"We knew what we were facing with Mohawk," Calvert coach Greg Hendrix said. "We came out that first set and the girls gave it everything they had and they fought and we weren't able to pull that first one out. It just seemed like it deflated them. I thought the last win we got, they had learned to be able to fight through adversity. You just got to take your hat off to Mohawk."

Hosting is a key component of any online venture, basically referring to the process of putting your website up on the internet. There are a considerable number of decisions that must be taken into account before any hosting operations are executed, options and selections that will, in the long run, drastically impact the nature of operations that your web site will experience. And one such key decision is the type of hosting service you intend to make use of, a decision that will go a long way in determining the sort of firm you choose to provide you hosting services.
The majority of ordinary hosting users will attest to having a predilection for shared hosting services, mostly because of how cheap yet effective they happen to be. Large companies on the other hand, along with users intent on making use of complex internet functionalities will instead opt for dedicated server where, unlike shared where several sites share a server, each web site is assigned its own dedicated server.
However as advantageous as shared hosting is, especially in allowing for maintenance costs to be shared, there are problems of traffic and congestion with regards to the number of web sites on a given server. The best option in any case would be dedicated but few can deny just how ridiculously expensive dedicated hosting can become. To some the key to compromising would be virtual private server hosting, a midway of sorts, clearly a improvement from shared hosting yet clearly falling below the standards of dedicated hosting.
While termed virtual private server hosting, VPS hosting isn't actually private and is most certainly not dedicated, at least not in the same way that dedicated server hosting is. The fact is a virtual private server will play host to several websites at a time, only each server will be assigned to its own virtual machine, allowed to access its own little space and set of resources within the same server. Because the virtual machine is dedicated to meeting the needs of the web site, it can seem like a given site is assigned to its own dedicated server, yet still sharing the same hardware as several other sties.
Virtual private server hosting introduces a number of benefits, such as the following:
Stablity – Web sites using shared hosting can suffer adversely from the traffic activities of other customers on the server, usually due to congestion, a failing that virtual private server hosting isn't perceptible to. Even if sharing the same hardware, each customer will enjoy impeccable performance from a virtual machine that allows each site use of its own resources.
More Resources – Because of the dedicated nature of virtual machines, customers can expect access to greater resources such as disk space and memory than with shared.
Better Control – One of the most common features of virtual private server hosting is the control capabilities endowed to the customers. While, with shared hosting, control is usually restricted to the hands of the host provider, which can lead to the sorts of restrictions not available with dedicated, VPS hosting allows customers the freedom to manipulate and install programs and operating systems as they wish, through a myriad of the features available from different providers such as root access, server monitoring and managed data backups.
The fact is despite the hullabaloo some large firms raise over dedicated hosting, Virtual private hosting offers features and capabilities just as powerful as dedicated hosting but at a much saner price.
If you are convinced about VPS web hosting, you should try Bluehost Virtual Private Server Hosting. Click this Blue host Discount Pricing link for great discounts on their plans. Apart from Blue host, you may also check out Hostgator.com. Here's the link to their promotional price.

Recipe of the Day *8-24-12*
Garlic Pesto Chicken with Tomato Cream Penne
This chicken was DIVINE!!!! It was so so good I really could have made myself sick if we would have had more left because I would have kept on chowing down!!
The pasta, it was ok. It lacked flavor. But I find whole wheat pasta always tastes more cardboardy. And instead of half and half, I used skim milk! So yeah that was probably part of the problem, cutting calories never gives the same great flavor. But I will add pesto to the sauce next time.
1/2 bottle of lawrys Herb and Garlic Marinade
2 large spoonfuls of Pesto
2 boneless chicken breasts.
Cut chicken into one inch strips. Using same knife make slits into chicken. Pour lawrys marinade and pesto over chicken. Marinate over night (I did mine Sunday morning and cooked mine Monday evening so it marinated a while!!)
8 ounces of your choice of pasta (I used whole wheat penne)
2 tablespoons of olive oil
3 cloves of garlic
2 spoonfuls of pesto
1/2 cup of chicken broth
8 ounces of tomato sauce
1 cup of half and half
Boil water and start on noodles.
Pour entire batch of chicken, marinade and all, into skillet and cook chicken fully (the marinade will evaporate/cook down)
Heat olive oil, cook garlic. Add pesto. Simmer in chicken broth until half has cooked down. Add tomato sauce. Then add milk. Simmer for 5 minutes. Toss pasta in. Add flour if it needs to be thickened. Place chicken on top.

Luther Burbank High School was placed on lockdown due to a search for two men who ran from a car linked to a stolen vehicle report, police said.
The Sacramento Police Department said officers set up a perimeter near Florin Road and Franklin Boulevard, not far from the campus.
It has since been broken down, and the school is no longer locked down.
Initial reports indicated that police were searching for a person or people linked to a deadly drive-by shooting Thursday in Sacramento.
Police were not able to confirm if these people were indeed linked to that incident, a spokesman told KCRA 3.

NAMI Calls for Increase in NIH Funding
NAMI is joining advocates from across the nation in asking President Obama to make medical research for improving health care a priority and support robust funding for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH).
NAMI and other illness and patient advocacy groups are rallying advocates to contact the White House this week in support of significant annual increases for NIH.
"NAMI is pleased to join other disease advocacy organizations in support of the 'Research Means Hope' movement to ensure that the president's FY 2011 budget meets the goal of making biomedical research funding a national priority," says Michael J. Fitzpatrick, NAMI Executive Director. "Investment in medical research is the source of hope for people living with serious mental illness."
"Direct and indirect costs of mental illness impact the federal budget overall and state and local communities nationwide, including a substantial and growing burden imposed on "default" systems such as emergency rooms, homeless shelters, police, jails and prisons."
"Adequate investment in research on schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depression and other disorders is essential for our nation to address these human and financial costs. The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) has received more than $368 million in ARRA funding to support meritorious grants and invest in new 'challenge' grants and 'grand opportunity' grants."
President Obama needs to continue this investment in his FY 2011 budget proposal."
How you can help
Now is a particularly important time for President Obama to hear from advocates because he is working with his administration to determine the FY 2011 budget priorities.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.—Stetson scored nine unanswered runs over the final three innings as the Hatters rallied for a 14-9 win over Atlantic Sun Conference foe North Florida, Saturday at Harmon Stadium. The win snapped a three-game losing streak for Stetson.
The Hatters (18-27 overall, 7-10 A-Sun) started and finished strong but nearly let the game get away in the middle innings, as UNF (18-24, 8-12) scored eight of its nine runs in between the fourth and sixth innings. The Hatters and Ospreys also combined for 11 errors.
Trailing 9-5 after six innings, Stetson didn't go away, as the Hatters immediately rallied with four runs in the top of the seventh. Mike Fernland had a two-run double, Jordan Schulz forced home a run with a bases-loaded walk, and Kyle Fagan tied the game with a fielder's choice grounder.
With the game tied 9-9, Patrick Mazeika was plunked leading off the eighth. Garrett Russini sacrificed him to second and Josh Powers followed with an RBI double to give Stetson a 10-9 advantage.
The Hatters padded their lead with four runs in the top of the ninth. Fagan and Tyler Bocock each had RBI hits, and Russini knocked in a pair with a single as Stetson took a 14-9 lead into the bottom of the ninth.
Tyler Warmoth (2-3), who was summoned out of the bullpen to start the seventh, picked up the win with three shutout innings of relief. He allowed two hits and struck out six batters.
Stetson started the game strong, scoring twice in the first inning. After Bocock reached on a one-out error and Mazeika followed with a walk, Russini lined an 0-1 pitch down the left field line to score both runners for a 2-0 lead.
North Florida cut the lead in half when Trent Higgenbothem led off the second inning with a solo home run.
Stetson committed three errors in the bottom of the fourth, allowing UNF to tie the game. Two errors occurred on one batter, as first baseman Powers dropped a foul pop up by Drew Weeks, and shortstop Bocock allowed Weeks' hard hit grounder to get through his legs. With the bases loaded and two outs, Perez walked Alex Bacon to force in the first run, and two more runs scored when Bocock threw away Ty Kelly's grounder.
Higginbotham gave UNF a 5-4 lead with an RBI single in the bottom of the fifth, but Fagan tied the game when his double off the wall in right field plated Fernland.
UNF momentarily broke the game open in the sixth. Ty Kelly hit a one-out solo home run, and the Ospreys followed by loading the bases with one out. Reliever Kurt Schluter plunked his first batter to force in a run and make it a 7-5 game. Higginbothem followed with an RBI single and Patrick Ervin knocked in a run with a fielder's choice as the Ospreys increased their lead to 9-5. But those were the last runs scored by UNF.
The Hatters pounded out 15 hits for the game, with Fagan and Powers each collecting three hits. Fagan and Russini each knocked in four runs, while Fernland accounted for three RBI.
Austin Perez started for Stetson but lasted 4.2 innings. He allowed five runs (two earned) on four hits.
The Hatters and Ospreys wrap up their series at 1 p.m., Sunday.

Another West Virginia coal miner was killed on the job late last month. That makes four this year.
It was the second fatality at International Coal Group's Pocahontas Mine near Beckley during the past two years.
In June, a Leslie County, Ky., mine was shut down for eight days by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, after an unannounced inspection resulted in 31 citations and orders. Those hazards existed despite Bledsoe Coal Corp. being under intense scrutiny from MSHA since a miner was killed there in 2010.
More than two years after the Upper Big Branch explosion killed 29 miners, there still is not enough being done to keep the profession safe.
While President Barack Obama's administration goes full bore after coal jobs through misguided environmental regulation, too many politicians have sat on their hands instead of looking for ways to safeguard miners.
Some attempts are being made to hold mine operators accountable for safety and health hazards. One bill in Congress would ban operators from keeping two sets of books on safety problems - one to be shown to MSHA inspectors and another reflecting the true state of affairs. Also in the measure is a requirement for new rules on dust levels in mines.
Lawmakers should be acting to protect coal miners on two levels: First they should call a halt to Obama's war on mining jobs. Second, they should do more to ensure those jobs do not put men and women at risk.

I really really like cute gift bags. Sometimes I feel that finding the right gift bag is as important as the gift itself.
I also really really like starfruit and fried mushrooms lately. (Not necessarily together.)
While getting my shop on today I found myself thinking about which shoes I would buy. The only fact that one pair were really cute was not enough to make me buy them (as in the past.) I even said out loud "these (in black & white) would get dirty so quickly." So I picked a smarter pair (and I'm a bit melancholy at the fact that smart is a factor for me now) with a casual heel. And it really says 'casual heel' on the box.
Since when did shoes have to make sense? 31 is sinking in.

The World Series Shook 24 Years Ago Today
I remember it vividly. Al Michaels and Tim McCarver were broadcasting Game Three of the 1989 World Series between the A's and the Giants when all of a sudden the TV went black and all you could hear was Michaels talking. The audio quality went from clear to phone-like and after a few seconds he began to realize that an earthquake had just occurred.

On 3rd December, together with the UN Volunteers, the volunteers of VSO, US Peace Corps, Gambia Red Cross Society, Catholic Relief Services (CRS), some UNDP staff members and invited guests celebrated IVD 2005 with a banquet at the Leybato Beach Resort in Banjul. The gathering gave the volunteers the opportunity to know each other, share experiences, exchange ideas and strengthen the volunteer networks.
The highlight of the night was the announcement and presentation of the "Volunteer of the Year" award. Moses Otu-Johnny (Textile Expert) and Alex Nyarko-Ayisi (Pottery Expert), both of Ghana, shared the honour. They are attached to the UNDP/ILO project's Fight Against Social & Economic Exclusion (FASE).
Fatou Kinteh, FASE national coordinator, gave the citation and presented the certificate of appreciation. Alex and Moses were not informed ahead of their award, making the award night more memorable for all the volunteers.
The Volunteer of the Year award was initiated in Gambia during IVD celebrations in 2004 by UNV programme officer in Gambia, Fiel-Fraulein Bandekar, with a donated revolving trophy. The first awardee was Roseclair Charles of St. Vincent and the Grenadines for her exemplary achievement as Youth Trainer/Counsellor in the project 'Strengthening the Response to HIV/AIDS at District Level'. The award seems to have motivated more volunteers to excel in their performance and bring greater value to the spirit of volunteerism. It is not a contest, but an overwhelming appreciation of the selected volunteer's contribution to development in general.
On 5th December, the Gambia Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) organized a Volunteers' Day at the ongoing International Trade Fair, in cooperation with Yitbarek Tsegie, UNV Business Advisor with the GCCI.
Volunteers supported UNV-trained women groups who had put up display booths for their products ranging from textiles (tie-dye/batik), ready-made clothes, potteries, bee products, and soap to food items.
We also published as centrespread in the leading daily newspapers articles and photos contributed by volunteers on volunteerism.

|Nadalie Walsh
Courtesy: Ball State Athletics
Release: 07/23/2007
Left Ball State in the summer of 2013 to beome the head coach at Utah State . . . .
Nadalie Walsh was named the fifth head women's gymnastics coach in Ball State history in July of 2007.
In the last three seasons, Walsh has had six individuals appear in the NCAA Central Regional.
Nicole Allen appeared for the second straight season in 2012 and placed 14th in the all-around competition. She placed 19th at the 2011 NCAA Central Regional. Allen was a 2012 All-MAC Second Team choice after earning first-team honors in 2011. She was the 2011 MAC Floor Co-Champion and the 2011 MAC Vault Co-Champion.
Brittney Emmons qualified for the NCAA Regional in the all-around in 2011, while Tiffany Brodbeck, Emmons and Bibiana Rodriguez all advanced in 2010. Emmons placed 15th in the all-around at the NCAA Central Regional in 2011, while Allen placed 19th.
In addition to the individuals reaching their goals, Walsh led the Cardinals to the most wins in a single season since the 2003 campaign when Ball State managed six victories in 2010. In 2011, the Cardinals managed five wins, including a 3-3 mark in the Mid-American Conference. Ball State's fourth place finish in the MAC in 2011 marked the best placing for the team since the 2007 season. In addition, Ball State's 3-3 MAC record marked the most league victories since the 2002 season. Ball State managed a team score of 194.500 in a meet at Kent State in 2011, which was the 11th best score in school history. In 2010, Ball State's sesaon best team score of 193.925 was the highest for the program since the 2004 campaign.
In her first season, Walsh led the Cardinals to an improvement of eight points in the team score from the first meet of the season to the last meet of the year. Walsh tallied her first career win at Ball State with a 193.175 to 193.050 victory over Illinois-Chicago.
In her second season, Walsh led the Cardinals to four victories and produced three gymnasts which were NCAA Central Regional Qualifiers -- Emmons, Teresa Phipps and Rodriguez.
Walsh came to Ball State after spending four years as the head coach at her alma mater, the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. In her final season at Wisconsin-Oshkosh, Walsh led the Titans to the 2007 National Collegiate Gymnastics Association National Championship. The NCGA is the governing body for college gymnastics for NCAA Division III schools. The 2007 national title was only the second in UW-Oshkosh history and the first since the 1989 season. Walsh's Titans 2007 title ended a six year reign by UW-La Crosse.
Walsh guided the Titans to steady progress in her four seasons as the head coach. After not qualifying for nationals in her first season, UW-Oshkosh finished sixth at the 2004 NCGA National Championships. Her third team climbed to a third place finish at the national meet and her tenure at UW-Oshkosh culminated in the 2007 national title. She was named NCGA Coach of the Year in 2006 and was tabbed the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletics Conference Coach of the Year in 2005 and 2006.
During Walsh's tenure at UW-Oshkosh, her teams broke numerous school records, including all five in the team category. Her gymnasts received NCGA All-America honors along with NCGA Academic All-America accolades.
Prior to being named UW-Oshkosh's sixth head coach, Walsh served as an assistant coach with the Titans from 2001-03. She helped the Titans to a second place finish at the NCGA Nationals in 2001 as an assistant.
Walsh, a 2000 UW-Oshkosh graduate and former gymnast for the Titans is a Kewaskum, Wis., native. She and her husband have three children.

2:55pm: Heyman says the Red Sox and Lackey are in agreement in a five-year, $85MM deal
2:55pm: Heyman says the Red Sox and Lackey are in agreement in a five-year, $85MM deal
"But I do know Joey's sister indirectly (or foster sister) and I have heard stories of Joey being into shopping, designer wear, fancy coffees, and pedicures."
Yikes, no wonder SOSH crashed.
"Reality tells us there are no guarantees. Except that some day Jon Lester will be on that list of 100-game winners." - Peter Gammons
Interesting. That seems a bit out of left field. I wouldn't be surprised to see them make a dea for a bat using Buchholz as the primary bait -- perhaps for Miguel Cabrera.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
Red Sox metamorphosis to Yankees North continues.
"Baseball is a very, very complex business. It's more of a people business than most businesses." - Bob Castellini
Adrian Gonzalez is the target I believe, not Miggy.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
As a part-time BoSox fan (my AL team), I like it. Anything to foil the Yanks.
I think 5 years is a bit much for a SP, especially one with past health problems.
maybe Adrian Gonzales:
One rival GM theorizes that if the Red Sox sign free-agent right-hander John Lackey, they then will lock up righty Josh Beckett long- term and trade righty Clay Buchholz in a package for Padres first baseman Adrian Gonzalez.
Under that scenario, first baseman Kevin Youkilis would move to third and the Sox would employ a Mike Cameron-Jeremy Hermida type platoon in left.
The Sox's big investments would be Lackey and Beckett; Gonzalez will earn a club-friendly $4.75 million next season, and his deal includes a $5.5 million club option for 2011.
"Bring on Rod Stupid!"
Cameron in serious talks with Red Sox on two-year deal. CF or LF unclear.
"Reality tells us there are no guarantees. Except that some day Jon Lester will be on that list of 100-game winners." - Peter Gammons
Due to his defense Cameron could actually be more valuable than Bay but at close to half the price.
"Now that's a real shame when folks be throwin' away a perfectly good white boy like that."
Mike Cameron Agrees To Deal With Boston
By Zach Links [December 14 at 7:58pm CST]
7:58pm: The deal is in the range of $15.5MM for two years, tweets Ken Rosenthal.
"Now that's a real shame when folks be throwin' away a perfectly good white boy like that."
If Gonzo is going to fetch a package of players led by Buchholz, I'd be taking Theo's temperature on Votto.

Some water providers, cities, and utility companies offer financial incentives for replacing old inefficient toilets. Typically they offer a rebate of between $25 and $100 per toilet. In some cases they may offer free toilet replacement.
For information about toilet rebates and incentive programs in your area, contact your local water provider.
Toilet drives, such as the Bellevue Toilet Roundup pictured below, help to motivate community residents to replace their old inefficient toilets.

In November of 2009, while filling out her softball questionnaire prior to signing a National Letter-of-Intent with Stetson University, Meredith Owen listed one of her collegiate goals as desiring to pitch and hit for four years in college.
Stetson head coach Frank Griffin was one of the few coaches at that time to discuss that opportunity with her, but little did he know what a pitcher and what a hitter she would eventually become.
A double all-conference selection for the second year in a row, Owen has emerged as one of the top two-way players in the nation.
With a league-best 22 victories and a 0.90 ERA in the circle and a career-high 13 home runs as a hitter this season, Owen will look to help lead Stetson (34-12) in the Atlantic Sun Conference Championship this week in Nashville, Tenn. The third-seeded Hatters will face sixth-seeded FGCU (30-24-1) in the opening round of the double elimination tournament at 4 p.m. Wednesday. All games through the semifinals can be seen for free on ASun.TV, while the championship game will be carried live by ESPN3.
Owen says her success on the softball field has been the result of countless hours of hard work and determination. In fact, the Jackson, Miss., native started late, trying the sport for the first time at the age of 10. Back then, she knew her skills were far behind those of her peers, who had already been playing for years.
"At first, I was told to keep working on my throws and catches, so I did that," Owen said. "Then I was told to keep working on my hitting, so I did that. I kind of watched myself progress through working hard. I knew if I just kept doing that I could hopefully get a Division I scholarship and make it somewhere and do well."
Owen also started pitching when she was 10, but it wasn't until the later part of her career at Jackson Prep that she started to see a lot of innings in the circle.
"I played a lot of third base until my junior year," Owen said. "After that, I pretty much pitched all the time, which was exhausting, but looking back now I see it was really good for me mentally. It taught me a lot of lessons."
However, it was her .496 average and 24 home runs that made Owen an attractive recruit for some big-time collegiate programs, including Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Baylor, and LSU.
"LSU was the No. 1 school I was considering because my mom and my aunt both went there," Owen said. "I went to camps there, and I talked to the coach a little bit. It is so funny because they talked adamantly about my hitting, but they never said anything about my pitching. Although hitting has always been my favorite thing of the two, I am still a pitcher at heart, and I have loved pitching since I was 10. For me, it wasn't worth giving up."
Along came Griffin, who was also quite interested in Owen's hitting abilities. However, he left the door open for her to get an opportunity to pitch as well, and Owen liked what she heard.
"At the time, my pitching was not what it could have been, so he told me I had to work really hard if I wanted to pitch in college," Owen recalled. "I just put that in my back pocket and started to work really hard from then on out."
"I thought she might develop as a pitcher, depending on her work ethic," Griffin said. "However, I felt like she could certainly hit at the Division I level, and for that reason I was willing to take the chance on her. It turned out her work ethic is outstanding, and she developed into a top-notch Division I pitcher. Also, we were right about her hitting."
The results have spoken for themselves. Every year, Owen has seen her batting average increase and her ERA decrease. She has become just the second player in conference history to record 60 career wins and hit 30 career home runs. She is currently one of four players in the NCAA with as many as 20 victories and 10 home runs this season.
The most important numbers for Owen, however, are the digits in the win-column for the team. Not surprisingly, that statistic, too, has increased every year over the past four years.
"For me, it's always been just trying to find a way I can contribute to my team the best way possible," Owen said. "If that's pitching at the time, then I am going to go out there and pitch my heart out. If they need me to get in there and get an RBI, that's what I am going to try and do."
Owen's desire to pitch and hit for four years in college was not the only goal she listed on her questionnaire. She also listed playing in the Women's College World Series. That has not happened for Owen, at least not yet.
"I feel like the sky is the limit for this team," Owen said. "The more we play, the more we mesh well together. We have a great team, and as long as we stay humble and stay hungry, I feel like we could go anywhere."
For the Hatters, that opportunity starts Wednesday.
What: 2014 Atlantic Sun Conference Championship
When: May 7-10
Where: Lipscomb University, Draper Diamond, Nashville, Tenn.
At Stake: The conference champion receives an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
Broadcast: Wednesday-Friday games on A-Sun.TV. Championship game on ESPN3.
Live Stats: http://statb.us/b/53750 (FGCU game)
Schedule: http://www.atlanticsun.org/softball/championship/
Quoting Coach Griffin: "We have to play a balanced game. The defense needs to play like it has all year, the pitchers need to have 'A' game, and we have to go up to the plate and swing the bat. Most importantly, we need to relax and have fun. There is a lot of quality pitching in the league, but I think the team that gets hot at the plate is going to win the tournament."

Denver Gillen is another mid-century illustrator whose work I have always admired. Gillen often incorporated compelling, atmospheric and distinctively stylized landscapes in his illustrations.
Gillen was a favourite of sport fishing and hunting magazine editors, creating many interior illustrations and covers.
Because Gillen himself had no interest in hunting, he consciously focused on the grace and nobility of the animals in his illustrations...
... and of course, looking beyond the subject matter, we see once again Gillen's beautifully realized landscapes.
Other artists might find tricks or shortcuts to represent the background landscape in their work as a symbolic prop. But even when creating textbook illustrations like the one below (which Gillen's daughter told me he found tedious to do) he cut no corners.
Later in his life, after moving to Mexico to semi-retire, Gillen created remarkable gallery paintings celebrating the people and landscapes of his adopted home.
Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.

¿have you seen the films or read the books ?i think they are great ¿ho is your favourite caracter? gimli, aragon, legolas,sam, frodo, merry ,piping, gandalf or boromir? i voud like to knou your opinionXD
and it's great... haven't had the time to read the books yet though... favorite character? hmm... Legolas! lol he's cute isn't he.. heh heh heh lol ^_^~Crescent"...beneath the truth lies a lie and behind lies hides the truth..."
The third and final installment of lord of the rings was a very, very, very, long movie to watch.
ive seen all 3 movies and read the second and half of the third book! fav character....Aragon by far"If a man does not know what harbor he is seeking, no light will be enough to guide him."
I like Gandalf the most.
i liked the books beter than the films but they are ok aswell!!! mi favorite carecter.....gandalf of corse!!!he acts so cool LOL ^^!!__%&$& lIlYAndblaNCAa&$·"__
the movies were good, booth the theatrical and the extended, but the books were so much better. i guess reading the books first than seeing the movies makes me more partial to the books. my fav character is strider/aragon. "Someone once told me you can't put a price on human life, although when push comes to shove the price suddenly becomes negotiable"
I've read the Simmarillion, Children of Hurin, Hobbit, Fellowship of the Ring, Two Towers, Return of the King. I guess my fav character would have to be Gandalf or maybe Smaug the dragon.
the Lord of the rings movies are amazing movies and My favorite is aragon...
it gives you more on what the movie theater cut out ~(~ The True God of Death Alucard 12,000 points ~)~
i think they should do the hobbit as a prequal
"Simon, don't belive in me that believes in you, believe you that believes in me that believes in you!!!"
I wish they just do it!. I mean they already made a 4th Pirates film ~(~ The True God of Death Alucard 12,000 points ~)~
yeah i know it would put the whole series of movies in perspective
"Simon, don't belive in me that believes in you, believe you that believes in me that believes in you!!!"
~(~ The True God of Death Alucard 12,000 points ~)~
yes it would.... and on this topic i thing they should make a movie of the call of cthulu
"Simon, don't belive in me that believes in you, believe you that believes in me that believes in you!!!"
never heard of it ~(~ The True God of Death Alucard 12,000 points ~)~
its by h.p. lovecraft its about a scientists son that dabbles into his fathers work coming across a cult that later summons a giant space consuming demon its actually a mystery book
"This form is the symbol of our determination! Foolish creatures, drunk on Spiral Power! We defended the universe by killing our fellow spirals and halting our own evolution! Do you possess the sheer fortitude that is on par with that?! DO
thats kind of pathetic I mean for god sake its time to let the series die in my opinion... though I must say I'm kind glad they didn't do the Hobbit cause its my fav book in the series.Love... is just a different kind of pain.
that they are working on the hobbit..... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0903624/ <~Did you know that Your Dreams are Just Lost Pieces of Reality.~> http://www.playlist.com/LadyMeyesi
I will say this only one time. The movies were WAY better than the books. The books just went on and on and on...while the movies got straight to the point. Great Trilogy, but they should call it quits instead of trying to re-make The Hobbit. It was better as an animated film. Besides, I don't think they'd be able to do it justice. Once you make the continuations of the movie series, you can't go back and re-do the first in the set. It just doesn't work out...and ends up wasting a LOT of money in the process. And as a final, parting set of words... HOBBITS RULE!!!
I'm not ur Anime nerd, just a Anime professor to be excatly
I loved the books in fact I read them all twice, they have a great plot, amazing characters, and they proceed quite nicely in my opinion I was never bored reading them. That said I do like the movies, however I think that I can count on one hand how many times I've watched them... I mean it. Anyway I found that the movies often had huge gaps in them, the pacing often left me yawning, they changed key things, cut out parts that really showed the characters personalities, I dunno I just didn't find them overly amazing. my fav chacters are Gimli and Legolas especially when they are together the dynamics between them is really good,Gandalf, and my other fav is Bilbo but more for the Hobbit.
< Love... is just a different kind of pain.

JOHNSTOWN - Speaking outside Bishop McCort Catholic High School on Saturday morning, a former Ohio Catholic school student detailed the alleged locker-room sex abuse that dozens of men have now accused Hollidaysburg friar Stephen Baker of committing throughout his career.
Michael Munno - now a father of two, married 17 years - said Baker's sexual tastes were a running joke among boys at his alma mater, John F. Kennedy High School in Warren, Ohio.
"It was a daily joke in the locker room: Don't get injured, or you'll go to the training room," he said.

Robert Hoatson (left) president of Road to Recovery, a sex-abuse survivors group, speaks with Michael Munno, an alleged victim of friar Stephen Baker, Saturday morning in Johnstown.
It was in the school's small training room, Munno said, that Baker, an athletic trainer, is accused of abusing many of his alleged victims - fondling their genitals and digitally penetrating them while supposedly giving post-workout massages.
More than 35 people, including at least one woman, have contacted attorneys with accusations stemming from Baker's work in Ohio and at Bishop McCort, said Robert Hoatson, president of Road to Recovery, a sex-abuse survivors' group.
Baker now lives at St. Bernardine Monastery near Hollidaysburg.
Baker has declined to comment on the accusations on the advice of an attorney, a monastery superior said.
Munno said Baker groomed him for abuse in the late 1980s, befriending him before ninth grade and accompanying him on a group trip to Virginia. While the abuse was widely known, nobody reported it to the authorities for years, he said.
"They're trained to show deference to religious authority," Hoatson, a former Roman Catholic priest, said.
Bishop McCort student-athletes and their families looked curiously at the knot of TV cameras and reporters outside their school Saturday morning. Hoatson wore a sign reading: "Children must have a voice."
Since a settlement was announced last week with 11 of Baker's Ohio accusers, dozens more alleged victims have contacted attorneys, including some in unrelated clergy abuse cases, Hoatson said.
None involve alleged crimes in the Altoona area, he said. Nevertheless, Hoatson questioned whether Baker had been allowed to leave the monastery where he's lived for years.
"Why wasn't the Altoona-Johnstown Diocese telling the community that there was a serial pedophile roaming around Hollidaysburg and Newry?" Hoatson said.
Diocese spokesman Tony DeGol said Thursday that the case is outside the diocese's jurisdiction, as Baker is not an area priest.
Baker no longer has contact with minors, the monastery's head, the Rev. Patrick Quinn, said last week.
Munno and Hoatson said they expect more alleged victims, in both Johnstown and Ohio, to come forward in the coming days. The new accusations could lead to possible criminal charges, they said, noting that Pennsylvania's statute of limitations is less restrictive than Ohio's.
"I'm sure there will be an outpouring," Munno said.

A well-loved tradition for nearly nine decades, the Clinton Cider Mill is a destination for both Hamiltonians and townspeople. Since 2009, Libby Schultz '12 has worked at the mill, baking donuts, cookies, pies and muffins, working the cash register, washing dishes, labeling jugs and filling baskets of apples. It is work Schultz savors, and she thinks there are several reasons that customers return autumn after autumn. "It's mainly the smell, the combination of apples being pressed and fresh donuts," she says.
Owners Mimi and John Fehlner have also cooked up a welcoming business approach. "Someone will come in whose cousin has passed away, and Mimi will offer donuts for the wake," says Schultz, one of three Hamilton students working at the mill this fall. "She is exceptionally generous, loving and caring."
The Fehlners value their relationship with Hamilton, and students say a hot cup of cider or a warm donut offers them a tasty remedy for a stressful day. "The Cider Mill reminds people of home," says Schultz, recalling a recent customer who lives 330 miles from town. "Everyone knows each other and is concerned about each other. I appreciate this opportunity to get off campus and get close to a family that's a part of Clinton, and see it from a different perspective."
Like a goodwill ambassador, Schultz brings Hamilton down the Hill and a bit of Clinton back to campus for her ravenous suitemates. She is also proud of the mill's Facebook page. "The Cider Mill embodies Central New York," says Schultz. "When I think of fall, I think of the Cider Mill."

Monteith would have turned 32 on Sunday. The Glee actor was found dead in a Vancouver hotel room in July after overdosing on heroin and alcohol, and the loss of such a young talent sent shockwaves through Hollywood.
Michele, 27, was especially heartbroken: The two dated on- and off-screen, and she has called him her "true love."
"He was not his addiction – unfortunately, it won. But that wasn't who he was," she told Seventeen's April issue. "Cory made me feel like a queen every day.

Monteith's mom, Ann McGregor, also Tweeted a sweet message in memory of her son.

Three of the six Buffalo School Board races involve write-in candidates – and it is possible the winner of one or more those races, may not be known until the official count is made May 15.
But at the very least, the total number of intended ballots cast in each district will be known tonight.
In the East District race, incumbent Rosalyn L. Taylor is counting on people to write-in her name to defeat Theresa Harris-Tigg.
In the West District, incumbent Ralph Hernandez is hoping for the same result against James Sampson.
While in the Ferry District, Kinzer Pointer is hoping a last-minute write-in effort will upend incumbent Sharon Belton-Cottman's effort to win her first election after being appointed to the board in 2011.
Results compiled tonight by the Board of Elections will indicate the total number of intended write-ins votes for each district, said Dennis E. Ward, one of two Erie County election commissioners.
Ward explained the write-in process this way:
A voter who wants to vote for someone not listed on the ballot is supposed to color in a bubble on the ballot form to indicate he or she wants to a write-in a candidate's name.
The voter also then writes in the person he or she is voting for.
"If the voter doesn't color the bubble, the machine looks at that and says the voter didn't vote for anyone," Ward said.
"We don't disqualify you because you didn't color n the bubble, we go by voter intent. So what happens is this: The machine will read it as an undervote, and we will ultimately count it – but not until the offical canvass by the Board of Elections on May 15."
The combined write-in and undervote presents the maximum number of possible votes that will show if there is a possible path for that candidate to win.
"We can tell you if a candidate is excluded, and there is no way they can win," Ward said.
It's still an uphill battle for a write-in candidate to win.
Ward said that in his nine years as a commissioner, and about 40 years of involvement with the electoral process, he could only recall one successful write-in candidate – Ralph Hernandez when he mounted a successful effort in the West District in 2004.
But no one was on the ballot that year, he said, which isn't the case today.

Erie County Judge Thomas P. Franczyk sentenced a former Bassett Manor administrator on Friday to 1 and 1/3 to four years in prison for stealing $110,174 from a 69-year-old resident of the Amherst assisted-living and retirement home.
Charmesa Brown, 40, of Linda Drive, Cheektowaga, pleaded guilty in November to second-degree grand larceny for writing checks to herself from the victim's account between October 2010 and July 2012.
Brown had faced a minimum prison sentence of one to three years and a maximum of five to 15 years on the grand larceny count.
The resident's credit union alerted authorities after spotting so many checks made out to Brown.
Brown has not made any restitution.
But the nursing facility has agreed to make the victim whole, according to the Erie County District Attorney's Office.
Brown also admitted to offering a false instrument for filing in the first-degree because she did not report the stolen money when she filled out her state income tax return.

Franco, who is also nominated for Best Actor (in 127 Hours), reveals to Canadian show etalk that he will be capping off the evening by hosting – and performing at – an ultra-exclusive after-party at very special place.
"I'm a partner in a bar that's opening up, and the after-after-after-after-party is going to be at my new bar," the actor, 32, said this weekend at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. "It's at a secret location. And that's what I'm looking forward to because I'm going to be singing there at the bar. I'll be singing at the Oscars, but there will be a private performance at my new bar."
Sounds like the night's hot ticket. But Franco is being tight-lipped with the details.
"It's called the Writer's Room," he says. "It's in L.A. That's all I can say because I can't fit everybody. Everybody at the Governors Ball will not fit into my new bar, but it'll be going down."
Franco adds that he is bringing his brother Dave with him to the Oscars, and says preparations with co-host Anne Hathaway are going well.
"The Oscars are a very well produced show and [there's] a big machine behind it, and I think Anne and I fit really well in it," he says. "She probably fits better than I do, but I'm trying to catch up."
