Lutz and his crew immediately made their way to the Barefoot Wine & Bubbly bar where they "quickly started chatting up several adoring ladies who were professing their love," a source tells PEOPLE.
"The actor talked to the girls about his upcoming Expendables 3 role and even did an impression of his costar, Arnold Schwarzenegger."
But after his new pals picked out some Polaroid sunglasses for Lutz to model, the onlooker says the former Twilight actor – who has most recently been publicly dating Sharni Vinson – "brushed off the female attention and seemed much more into hanging out with his guys."

Yoooo Bayonetta is broken as fuck, of course Platinum Games would allow her in Ranked match. I guess I'll have to only play ranked with her if I want to win.

Yoooo Bayonetta is broken as fuck, of course Platinum Games would allow her in Ranked match. I guess I'll have to only play ranked with her if I want to win.
How's the netcode and balance? I have an unopened copy sitting on my desk. Do the other characters stand a chance, or does every match take place in a Bayonetta clone factory?
Balance is fine, there's too many people fighting each other for the reported infinite to work anyway, so if you avoid cage match none of the OP shit will be much of a factor.
Online been smooth so far, but trying to quick match on Ranked has been difficult.
Just stick to Player matches and private rooms with friends and you should be fine.
All the achievements seem to be campaign mode only.
There is a co-op thing in this game, called Survival and Mad Survival, you and 2 other friends fight the CPU in waves.
Kind of ashamed how long I spent running around and pummeling thugs before I actually did a mission.
Thank God that they included an offline simulator with bots. I did ok in the few matches I played online, but I've got a lot to learn still. Now I can practice shit without getting my head kicked in.
EDIT: Nevermind, the bots are better players than anybody I've ran into online. Christ.
This is one of the best games I've played in awhile. Damn fun. My only complaint is trying to get into a full lobby on the free for all 16 player mode (forgot the name) is pretty hellish.
Loaning my 360 to some friends. Might wanna grab it back to play this game.
I got PS3. I got one of the bustd Bayonetta codes :/ hurry the fuck up and replace it, SEGA!

I really like Death Ball, most people are too retarded trying to kill each other so I score 7 goals a match. Which equates to 5k points per goal.
That shit looks so damn fun. Haven't gotten around to trying it out, but it's on my to-do list after I finish unlocking characters.
CTF: Also known as playing keep-away with your own flag.
Haven't unlocked even half the characters yet but Durga is ridiculous and I really like how easy it is to keep combos going with Sasha. I feel like comboing with Leo is kind of a pain in the ass.
Totally disappointing that Sega didn't push this out for holiday sales with that super cheap price. I bought a 360 copy for my step brother in law as a late Christmas present.
Thought you guys might get a kick out of this;
Lol Gamestop you so silly. Look what happens when you base preowned value on available stock when nobody's traded the game in. Anyway I might get this just because Vanquish is awesome, I'm a Sega fanboy since childhood, and it's been a while since I played a fighter.
Watched a ton of gameplay vids... If they release a DLC character/mode/whatever or a sequel that allows you to build your own combos like God Hand, I'd be ecstatic. Still can't wait until tomorrow evening for my copy to arrive!
They could really go for having Vanquish character(s) in here later on.
Asura would fit really well but he isn't Sega/Plat games.
Gonna be on this Friday night. That way I can spend some time with the multiplayer.
Posted in the FNFs for this. Time is pretty flexible if nothing comes up.

Colin Hanks battled freezing temperatures for Fargo TV series
Actor Colin Hanks shivered through filming on new TV series Fargo after temperatures on location in Calgary, Canada plummeted to -30 degrees Fahrenheit (-34.4 degrees Celsius). The King Kong star reveals he had to cover his body with hand and foot warmers under layers upon layers of clothing just to keep him from freezing.
He explains, "I sort of got it down to a science. I would come into the trailer every morning, I would put on foot warmers that attached to your feet, and then I'd take two toe warmers and I'd sandwich the toes, and then I would take a large body warmer, about the size of my hand, and I would put them (all over my body), all over my long johns (long underwear).
"Then I would put on my costume, pants, shirt, jacket, and then a gigantic set coat… I looked like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man (from Ghostbusters)."
And the weather became so cold on one occasion, production had to be shut down for the day.
Tom Hanks' son adds, "We had to cancel filming one day because it was just too cold."
Colin Hanks plays a police deputy in the new TV drama, which was inspired by the Coen Brothers' cult 1996 movie of the same name.
Billy Bob Thornton and Martin Freeman also play characters made famous in the film by Steve Buscemi and William H. Macy.

A Case Study: Air Products v. Airgas and the Value of Strategic Judicial Decision-Making
Steven Davidoff Solomon
University of California, Berkeley - School of Law; University of California, Berkeley - Berkeley Center for Law, Business and the Economy
January 1, 2012
Columbia Business Law Review, Forthcoming
When is it appropriate for Delaware judges to act strategically? This case study documents and analyzes Air Products' $5.8 billion unsuccessful, hostile offer for Airgas, reviewing the decisions made by the Delaware courts in adjudicating the most prominent takeover bid of 2010. The three court opinions in Air Products v. Airgas show how Delaware courts strategically decide cases and the effect of this decision-making on the course of Delaware corporate law and Delaware's constituencies. The Airgas case ultimately provides a useful lesson for when, if ever, strategic considerations should influence the outcome of individual Delaware corporate law disputes.

A sudden outbreak of black ice on Interstate-190 in Niagara Falls this morning was blamed for at least seven accidents – including a crash that led to a car catching on fire and three rollovers, according to Trooper Aaron Wentland.
Amazingly, no one was hurt.
But troopers and fire crews were sent scrambling as they were dispatched to accident after accident.
The City of Niagara Falls also temporarily shut down entrances to the Niagara Thruway from Niagara Falls Boulevard to the Thruway during the accident spree, which were reported from the Porter-Packard Road exit to the Grand Island Bridge.
The first was reported just before 9 a.m.
About an hour earlier a band of lake effect snow passed through the area, according to Dave Thomas, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
The majority of the accidents happened on the southbound side of the road, Wentland said.
"The overpasses were all iced over," he said. "And of course, nobody was slowing down."
The state sent out salting trucks and by about 10:40 a.m. the roads were safe again for driving.

Nicole Kidman understands the concerns Monaco's royal family has expressed over Grace of Monaco.
"I know they're upset. I would be too if it were my mother," the Oscar-winning actress said of Princess Grace's children, according to Britain's Daily Mail. "It's a child's job to protect their parent. In that regard, I get it. I get why the children are upset."
"I can't say much other than that I have great respect and regard for their mother," she continued.
Grace of Monaco opens the Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday night, and the film has been nothing short of controversial since production began.
Last week, Prince Albert II of Monaco and his sisters Princesses Caroline and Stephanie took the rare precedent of formally denouncing the film about their mother as a "farce," based on "erroneous and dubious historical references." It was the second time the children of Grace Kelly attacked the film.
Defending the film, which liberally adapts real events in Monaco's history into fiction, Kidman told the British paper's columnist Baz Bamigboye, "It's not meant to be a biopic. I certainly did my best to honor everything that was real and truthful in it."
"This is about a woman who went from winning an Oscar – the pinnacle of her career – to marrying a prince," she added. Characterizing Grace and Rainier (played in the film by Tim Roth) as "an iconic couple," Kidman added that being a princess requires "a set of protocols and rules."
"She had to learn to be that, it doesn't just happen. That requires skill, commitment and respect. She had to play a role – which was to be a princess," she said.
"There's a fairy-tale aspect to it, which is why it isn't a biopic."
The Monaco royals initially offered to cooperate with the film's production, but withdrew their support from the project. Once shooting was finished, disagreement between the director and the film's U.S. distributor over editing led to postponement and a possible drop from wide U.S. release.
These problems have now been resolved, the paper suggests.
Check back with PEOPLE.com starting May 14 for photos, video and inside scoop on all the glamorous goings-on at the Cannes Film Festival!

The 290 Signature might well be the most space-efficient family cruiser you'll find under 30-feet. Twin engine V6 power, gives the 290 a clear performance edge over comparably sized rivals that only offer single engine propulsion. If you want a custom look, the options list includes a radar arch, a windlass, underwater lights, a gas grill, remote spotlight and a fire protection system. Finally, Kevlar® reinforcement and stainless steel hardware make a bold statement about the quality you can expect in a Chaparral cruiser.
Have a question about the 2014 Chaparral Signature 290?

Cell count limits; milk antibiotic testing highlight 50th NMC meeting
Cell count limits; milk antibiotic testing highlight 50th NMC meeting
Meeting in Arlington, Va., near the nation's capital, the 50th Annual Meeting of the National Mastitis Council was both festive and productive. There was plenty of fun and reminiscing sprinkled amid the science-based, roll-up-your sleeves agenda that has been a trademark of that unique organization. Many past presidents and other leaders of NMC attended the meeting, and several presentations underscored the great impact that NMC has had over the decades in preventing and treating mastitis and, generally, improving the quality of milk produced in North America and around the world.
Two current issues dominated hallway talk and strategies for several NMC committees, plus the board of directors. They were proposals to reduce the somatic cell count legal limit from 750,000 to 400,000 over a period of time and FDA's plan to initiate a new milk residue surveillance project.
An interesting paper presented by Duane Norman of USDA's Animal Improvement Programs Laboratory shed light on the impact of the proposed 400,000 SCC limit. It showed, among other things, that implementation of some proposals, such as that from the National Milk Producers Federation, actually would result in an SCC limit that would be more restrictive than that in the European Union.
Many in attendance at the NMC meeting were well familiar with the history of proposals to change the SCC limit here in the U.S. and the workings of the National Council on Interstate Milk Shipments which advises FDA on points in the Pasteurized Milk Ordinance, the regulatory document that governs the production and processing of milk. It was the belief of some at the meeting that, even though National Milk and, now, the U.S. Dairy Industry Advisory Committee, for example, are recommending implementation of the 400,000, it is not a sure thing that IMS will adopt such a proposal. The National Mastitis Council board of directors also will be submitting a proposal supporting the 400,000 SCC legal limit to IMS.
The 400,000 SCC legal limit and its implications will be the topic of a free Hoard's Dairyman webinar at noon Central Time on Monday, February 14. Pam Ruegg of the University of Wisconsin and past president of the National Mastitis Council will be the presenter. For information, go to www.hoards.com/webinars.
For now, FDA has put on hold its new, controversial milk residue testing program, pending some stakeholder input. FDA's plan was to sample milk from some 900 dairy operations that were among the 1,600 or so that had shipped an animal with a tissue drug residue over the past three years. One concern was that bob veal accounted for a large number of those residues and that how calves are handled has little to do with how milking herds are handled.
But, the bigger issue was what to do with the milk from a farm where an FDA sample was taken. It takes about seven days for test results to be confirmed. If the farm's milk does not go to the plant during the interim, someone has to endure that lost milk income. Some co-ops have advised members that they will cover the cost of milk from farms where an FDA sample was taken until results come back.
If the milk goes through normal channels during the waiting period, then the milk buyer faces the possibility of having to recall any product processed from that milk during that time should a residue be discovered.
The issue is attracting media attention. The Wednesday, January 26, issue of The New York Times covered the story.

The media needs to stop acting like violence is new! Criminals have been shooting, stabbing, robbing people for a long time and no series of PR laws is going to stop that! I would like for just one news outlet or politician to be honest and open about how many of these crimes are commited with guns that current laws should have stopped if laws worked so the brainwashed public can realize these efforts are fruitless.

Takeaways from the shutdown and debt ceiling crisis
Last night the Senate and the House of Representatives reached a deal that will fund the government until Jan. 15 of next year and extend the debt ceiling enough to cover U.S. borrowing through Feb. 7. While that gives us another stupid Washington catfight to look forward to early next year, it at least ends the current government shutdown and avoids a disastrous U.S. default, for now.
So with 16 days of government shutdown fun and a debt ceiling crisis behind us, it's time to take a look at what we learned. Here are some of the big takeaways.

Developing Dynamic Design Capabilities in Software Product Development Companies
Aramand, Majid
Publication type: Doctoral dissertation
Issue date: 2006-12-11

This study employs the theory of dynamic capabilities within the resource-based view (RBV) theory of the firm and introduces a new concept dynamic design capabilities. The concept of dynamic design capabilities in this study is defined as a set of design and development capabilities of a [software] product development firm such as, experiences, skills, metaphors, languages, shared understandings, routines, mutual adjustment, and organizational rules and procedures that is adaptive to the external changes and is creative in delivering superior values to the firm and to the customers. Accordingly, the study introduces a conceptual model, drives hypotheses, and questions whether the development of dynamic design capabilities in software product development firms has significant and positive relationships with the review of similar product designs in the market and the involvement of lead users throughout product design and development processes or not? To address the research question, measure constructs for dynamic design capabilities, review of similar product designs in the market, and the involvement of lead users and lead customers are designed and developed. To collect quantitative data for these constructs, an online survey is conducted on 52 software product development firms in Canada. The target population of the survey is small and medium-sized software product development firms that design and develop software products, intended for a mass-market of individual or organizational end users. To triangulate the findings of the quantitative survey with the findings of a parallel study, 4 case studies are conducted on software product development firms in Canada and Finland. Then, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method is employed to assess the scale acceptability and to test the research model and the hypotheses. The statistical analysis on the quantitative data and the findings of the case studies show that the development of dynamic design capabilities has significant and positive relationships with the review of similar product designs in the market and the involvement of lead users throughout the product design and development processes. This study, by introducing the new concept of dynamic design capabilities and empirically testing the implication of the concept to software product development firms, contributes to the body of knowledge in software product business and theory of the firm. The study also provides practical insights to practitioners and product development and project managers. Keywords: Theory of the Firm, Dynamic Capabilities, Lead Users, Dynamic Design Capabilities, Software Product Development Companies

Our quietest windproof top, we built the new Fanatic Vest to warm your core when deer spook at the mere rumor of noise. Insulated with Primaloft, sealed with GORE® WINDSTOPPER® Technology, and silenced with high loft, wet printed fleece. Wear it with the Celsius Series to keep your decibels down well into the late season.
The Fanatic Vest is a windproof, insulated buffer between your core and the stiff November air. Every detail is designed to make you more stealthy, more comfortable, more focused and more deadly when scrapelines appear overnight, and the buck that's been haunting your dreams starts to make his move.
The Fanatic Vest is ideal for milder days, or milder climates, when you don't need the full protection of the Fanatic Jacket. It can also be used as an insulation piece with the Incinerator Series to keep you out there in the most brutal conditions, while minimizing bulk in the arms. We've body mapped heat-trapping 60g/m2 and 133 g/m2 Primaloft® insulation throughout with a soft, silent GORE® WINDSTOPPER® outer fabric, helping eliminate the effects of windchill. The angled zipper design makes room for a kangaroo pocket that heats your hands and saves your dexterity for the moment you need it most. We built in a strategically placed grunt tube slot and rangefinder pocket to give you quick access to your most critical equipment.
Absolutely my favorite piece of gear in my aresnal. Ifthe temps are really cold and frigid I can layer with this and my stratus jacket. While still having the kangaroo pouch and all of the killer pockets. Even layered, I am still very mobile and ready to draw my bow. The zipper design was engineered by a pure genius as far as I am concerned. Any serious whitetail hunter needs this piece in his bag of tricks! - Brandon, Monsters Inc. BBSK - WV
This vest was a game changer for me. I wear it as my outer layer in any temperature under 50* for my stationary deer sits throughout the Midwest Whitetail season. The kangaroo pocket allows me to wear thin gloves and when the temp dips below freezing, I just put a couple of handwarmers in there. In ultra cold sits in and below the single digits, I wear and swear by 2 baselayers, Stratus Bibs, a thin base up top, Traverse, Kelvin Jacket, Stratus Jacket, with this vest on top. It is quiet, warm, and best of all, the kangaroo pocket keeps my hands warm and ready for my bow. Thank you Sitka. Your system has changed the way that I hunt.
The Fanatic vest has worked ideal for me on days with colder mornings that warm up as the day goes on. The vest keeps my core body warm and works in great when using it with the rest of my Sitka layering system!
Fantastic vest. Perfect for use with the stratus pants, and over the core and traverse tops on those chilly mornings during early season teal hunting in Oklahoma. Great under the waders and will be perfect in the tree. The side zip is very functional and improves the overall fit. Hand muff is fantastic. Will likely layer under the fanatic jacket when the temps are in the single digits. Great piece.
I am 35 years old and I have been archery hunting whitetails since I was 12 years old. I spend almost every day of the season in a tree. In all my years of hunting I am yet to see an article of clothing thought out as well as this one. The pockets are all in the perfect place and able to hold all of my gadgets at the ready. Comfort and fit is great and true to size. Extremely quiet with enough warmth to cut through the chill on long sits. My only recommendation would be to make one in a lite version with no insulation for extra hot days. I hunt northern Michigan and the insulation is usually needed. I am a charter fishing captain and a professional salmon tournament angler and would like to believe I know a little about having the right gear,as far as archery hunting is concerned, this is it.
the 2013 "polar vortex" dipped the iowa late muzzleloader temps into negative numbers but layered in my stratus bibs,kelvin lite jacket & topped with this gem of ingenuity i stayed toasty, organized and able to take my best whitetail to date. the range finder and kangaroo pockets are sheer genius. this is hands down my favorite piece of late season gear whether i'm in the midwest or back home in the keystone state. fanatic is fantastic!
This is a key piece of my hunting system here in the brushy NC areas. I have it for adding warmth to my Stratus Bibs and Jacket if temps dip into the low 30's as was my main tip piece for squirrel hunting when I needed warmth but a jacket would have caused me to be too bulky. I say this is one if my key pieces because it isn't used until no other piece I have will take its place. The pockets are well thought out and very usable for the smaller objects you might find yourself needing easy to grab.
I am one of the lucky guys that gets to test Gore hunting products. Last year I purchased this vest for my first ever whitetail hunt. It was November in Kansas, and I needed something that would layer really well given the range of conditions that could occur. The Fanatic vest didn't disappoint! I wore it in the early mornings when temps were in the 20's under my Stratus coat and in the evenings I wore it alone when it was in the 50's. A Core shirt, Traverse Hoody and the Fanatic vest were all I really needed most of the time. It is quiet, comfortable and moves really well. I had to rotate my torso to get my shot off, and this thing didn't bind a bit. The Primaloft is very warm, and the Windstopper makes this a necessary piece to block the wind that can drive hunters off the stand. I couldn't be happier!

"We ask for too much salvation by legislation. All we need to do is empower individuals with the right philosophy and the right information to opt out en masse"-Joel Salatin
I stumbled upon the above quote and I must say it has made me pause while also providing much food for thought. So are we asking for too much salvation by legislation? Do we think our society will improve immensely if our government simply enforces numerous laws and regulations, or are we over-simplifying our problems?
The current contentious debate swirling around our many guns rages on, with warring factions sparring over our Second Amendment rights to our many guns; the mass shootings and murders, suicides and accidental deaths by way of our many guns; those who say enough is enough, we need to do something about our many guns; and those who say the government will have to pry their many guns from their cold dead fingers, because that's the only way they are going to give up their many guns.
Since the shocking mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., the topic of guns has been trending. America seems to have been jolted awake this time, and a large portion of the population think new gun laws are the answer to the escalating violence. But there is also a huge section who says their guns are the only defense against a tyrannical government and that the Founding Fathers intended the people to have that option. (I think those with that argument are forgetting our government spent billions if not trillions of dollars on defense and that the level of weaponry available make their high-powered rifles look like child's play). But I digress, forgive me.
Since the Sandy Hook school shooting, the Obama administration appears to be donning the necessary armor for a gun control fight and Vice President Joe Biden is the foot soldier appointed to take on the powerful NRA, gun lobbyists and the many angry constituents who say they are not relinquishing their arms. Judging by gun enthusiast/radio host Alex Jones' rabid rant at host Piers Morgan on CNN, they are in for a fight. .
Incidentally, Jones was bolstering the other side's argument for fewer guns in the hands of out-of-control, volcanic tempered zealots and better mental health care. His behavior checked off both on that list, and he boasted to Morgan that he owned more than 40 guns! I know that deep irony was woefully lost on him though.
Putting all the high-octane rhetoric on pause for a minute, are we reacting to emotions rather than reason? We are a nation of laws and we seem to want more and more as we strive for a better society, as we seek a safer environment for our children to grow old in, and that is understandable. But in our quest for a society as close to a utopia as humanely possible, are we trying to legislate morality, kindness, sanity goodness and evil, and if so, can we?
Liberals tend to react emotionally and conservatives clinically. I think the answer lies somewhat in the middle of those two lines. What is supposed to separate the human animal from the rest is logic, reason, and sound judgment coated with a healthy dose of human emotion—the ability to empathize and sympathize. Our reaction to 20 children being killed in one swift murderous rampage is supposed to be horror and outrage. We instinctively want someone to pay for this hideous crime and in the absence of that, see how it can be prevented from happening again.
But sometimes overwhelming emotions can cloud the issue, preventing us from seeing while we're reacting viscerally. Will tighter gun laws prevent these kinds of tragedies from taking place? No one can answer with a definitive yes, for I suspect the problem is bigger than just the guns. Moreover, enacting more restrictions on purchasing guns without addressing mass manufacturing of these rapid fire semi-automatic killing machines is kind of like fighting only half the battle.
Additionally, we cannot forget other scenarios that may be as essential to this gun nightmare, like mental health, America's love affair with violent themes in movies, sports, video games and music; our progressive desensitization with violence; and human propensity for evil that cannot be analyzed, legislated, rationalized or eradicated.
For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction, so just as there is good among us, there is the opposite clinging forever to the dark recesses, and sometimes right in the midst of our "model, normal, tranquil" parts of society.
Are guns the only source of mass killings? If so, can we ban them all? How about Big Pharma and their slew of legal narcotics being over-dispensed daily across the US? How about manufacturers' poison clogging our food supply, allowed there with the blessing of our Food and Drug Administration ( FDA)? What about cigarettes and other cancer-forming agents? Do you remember when the war on cancer started? How much money was collected over the years, ostensibly for a cure: trillions of dollars, and there's no cure in sight.
What about testing drugs on citizens in poor countries where the "cure" turned out to be worse than the disease? (Check out Bill Gates drug testing in African countries here). Or outsourcing for cheap, dangerous labor in countries where labor laws are lax or non-existent, so that we here in America can continue to consume en masse while corporations rake in huge profits.
What about a judge in San Antonio ruling that a public school district has a right to force students to wear electronic tracking devices on school premises? One student, 15-year-old Andrea Hernandez, who found these chips, called Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), intrusive, refused to wear them and was expelled. Judge Orlando Garcia not only ruled that the district was right to track our children like convicts, but refused to stop the school from expelling Hernandez. (Read more here).
You see, if we take our eyes off the guns for a nanosecond, we will see that our society is plagued by a myriad of issues, each one worse than the other. Can we legislate them all away, or does the bigger burden for substantive change lie within us? Do we as a people need a collective shift in values?
For what do you call a country where its people do good only through enforced laws and fear of reprisals? Without some laws, there will understandably be anarchy but with too much legislation, we run the risk of living with tyranny, dictatorship, fascism or a police state—take your pick.
Democracy shouldn't mean government solves all of our problems with laws of their choosing; it should mean government works with its people to come up with sound solutions for the good of all the people.

What makes "Major League: Back to the Minors" the stupidest sports movie ever made is the ridiculous assertion that minor league players and coaches can't stand the guys on their parent big league club and want to challenge them competitively.
Nothing could be further from the truth because, in reality, minor leaguers usually have a lot of friends on the big league club, and they all root for each other to succeed.
Pirates fans everywhere are thrilled about what's happening this season after two long and painful decades of losing, and you can count Curve players among those who are excited about the Buccos being in first place.
"When they win, it feels good for us and makes us want to win also," Curve first baseman Matt Curry said.
When Andrew McCutchen played for the Curve in 2006 and '07, he would come into the clubhouse after games and watch the conclusion of the Pirates' contests on TV. Same for Pedro Alvarez in 2009, and Josh Harrison in 2010, and so on.
Those guys, unfortunately, had to watch a lot of bad baseball, but the current members of the Curve get to enjoy the Bucs having a great season so far.
What makes it even better for the Curve players is that many of them know and have played minor league ball with some of the young guys who are currently with the Pirates, such as Harrison, Jordy Mercer, Alex Presley and Tony Watson.
"It makes it more real," said Curry, who was teammates with Mercer and Hughes just last year with the Curve.
"We played with those guys down here, we know that we're good enough to play up there and it just gives us some hope. Those guys, we played with them every day and know what kind of players they are and what kind of players we need to be to be just like them. It just shows us that we have a chance."
Top Double-A players can do most of the same things that big leaguers can do on any given day, but they just can't do it as consistently, which is why they're still in the minor leagues.
For Curve players like Curry and Brock Holt and Jeremy Farrell, all of whom played here in 2011, to see a former teammate like Mercer get to the big leagues gives them what manager P.J. Forbes called something "tangible."
The players, Forbes said, can look at it like, "Jordy Mercer's there, I played with him, I know his skills, and I've got some of those skills. And there's things that I can do that he can't do, and there's things that he can do I can't do and I've got to work on. So it becomes more of you can almost touch it when you see guys that you played with up there."
Another aspect that links the big leaguers and minor leaguers is that, with the Pirates organizational philosophy, they all learn to do the same things, go through the same drills and focus on the same parts of the game.
"You see them do something, you're like, 'Hey, we work on that down here,'" Curry said. "We see them do it, and it makes us want to do it."
The organization's principles also apply from top to bottom, including Bucs manager Clint Hurdle's mantra to "finish" what they start.
"The feedback we get from up there from Clint and the coaching staff, that stuff filters down to us," Forbes said. "There's so many things that they can see that translates."
Nothing, though, translates better than the sheer volume of players who have made it up to the big leagues quickly from Altoona over the past two years. Twelve members of the 2010 Curve club and two from the 2011 team already have reached the majors.
It's exciting to see the Pirates winning, and it's even more so for us locally to see so many former Curve guys having instrumental roles in the success.
And unlike years past, the members of this Curve team can look forward to having a chance to play winning baseball if and when they earn the call to Pittsburgh in a year or two.

WASHINGTON – Chris Collins met with some tough criticism during his campaign for Congress last fall when he said the federal budget should be balanced in 10 years – but now that's exactly what House Republicans are proposing.
House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., on Tuesday unveiled a federal budget proposal for fiscal 2014 that, if enacted, would trim federal spending by $4.6 trillion through 2023.
But that budget is built in part on two things Collins railed against: Medicare cuts and a tax increase. And it includes controversial proposals, such as the partial conversion of Medicare into a voucher system, that have proved to be politically unpalatable for years.
Nevertheless, Collins, R-Clarence, and other House Republicans widely praised the new Ryan budget plan, which largely echoes similar proposals he has made for the past two years that went nowhere.
"I campaigned on the need to balance the budget in 10 years," Collins said. "This budget does just that. And a lot of naysayers said this wouldn't happen."
Then-Rep. Kathleen C. Hochul, a Hamburg Democrat whom Collins defeated in November, called Collins' budget proposal "irresponsible" because it was lacking in details.
Ryan filled in those details Tuesday. Among them was a provision – first included in the Obama health reform law – preserving more than $700 billion in Medicare savings over a decade, tied largely to lower payments to insurers who offer Medicare Advantage plans.
Collins sharply criticized those cuts during his campaign, saying the cuts could cause insurers to stop offering the Medicare Advantage programs. He said Tuesday he spoke about his continuing concerns about them in a conversation with Ryan this week.
Ryan replied that he had heard worries about the Medicare Advantage cuts from other lawmakers, and as a result he included a provision in his budget proposal that allows the funding to be restored if compensating cuts can be made elsewhere in the federal budget.
"This gave me an answer to my concern," Collin said, even though the specifics have to be worked out later.
He added: "I'll certainly take a fair amount of credit" for the addition of that provision to the budget.
Ryan also included in his budget $3.2 trillion in new federal revenues stemming from the tax increases included in the "fiscal cliff" deal between President Obama and congressional Republicans earlier this year – new taxes that Ryan, Collins and most other Republicans had harshly criticized as a drag on the economy.
But Collins said he saw no problem with the inclusion of that new tax money, given that the Ryan plan promises to redraw the tax code. Under the Ryan tax plan, which does not include any details, many deductions would be cut or eliminated, and the current array of tax rates would be replaced by just two: 10 percent and 25 percent.
The simplification of the tax code and those lower tax rates will "get the investment going" in the economy, Collins said.
Rep. Brian Higgins, D-Buffalo, couldn't disagree more.
He criticized the Ryan budget for cutting $5.7 trillion out of transportation funding over a decade, funding that he said would lead to new jobs.
"Paul Ryan's budget will not grow the economy," Higgins said. "Robust investments in scientific research, education and infrastructure grow your economy."
Higgins also noted that the Ryan spending plan turns Medicaid into a block grant, meaning New York could lose federal funding that now supports health care not only for the poor but also for many seniors in nursing homes.
"It would have a very negative impact on New York State," he said.
Ryan once again proposes turning Medicare, in part, into a voucher system. Ryan said that plan would save the health care plan for the elderly from financial collapse, but Higgins said it would mean that health care would be priced out of the reach of some seniors.
Ryan's budget was the first volley in a new round of fiscal wars that will continue today, as Senate Democrats put forth their spending plan for the year.
As for Obama, he won't introduce his budget plan until April 8 – two months later than usual.
Despite their deep disagreements on the Ryan budget, Collins and Higgins agreed on one thing: The GOP spending plan isn't likely to make it into law.
"It's putting a line in the sand from the Republican standpoint," Collins said.
"You're not going to have a budget," said Higgins, predicting that the federal government will lurch from one fiscal deadline to another through the next fiscal year.

Table PluginGives extra control of table display:
On this page:
Table AttributesAttributes are defined as a
TABLEPLUGIN_TABLEATTRIBUTES preference, or on the line before the table using
Attributes for tables
Attributes for table sorting
Attributes for table cells
Attributes for data cells
Attributes for headers
Other attributes
Specifying and overriding attributesTable attributes can be set in different ways. In top down order:
TABLEPLUGIN_TABLEATTRIBUTES = ... competely overrides previous preferences (for example in Main.SitePreferences or Configure):
* Set TABLEPLUGIN_TABLEATTRIBUTES = cellpadding="0" <<< this will remove previously set preferences and leave only 1 attribute
If you pass
%TABLE{...}% parameters, you partially override previously set preferences:
* %TABLE{datacolor="#f00"}% <<< this will only change the data color attribute
Reserved attributesThe setting
disableallsort is normally not used as a TABLE or TABLEPLUGIN_TABLEATTRIBUTES setting. Plugins such as EditTablePlugin dynamically sets
disableallsort to disable sorting while editing a table. For this to work it is important that EditTablePlugin runs before TablePlugin, which is the default. The setting
sort can be overwritten by a URL parameter or hidden formfield of the same name. Plugins such as EditTablePlugin can use this to disable table header sorting while in edit mode.
Use of %TABLE{...}%Line before table:
%TABLE{ sort="on" tableborder="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="3" cellborder="0" headerbg="#D5CCB1" headercolor="#666" databg="#FAF0D4, #F3DFA8" headerrows="2" footerrows="1" }%
SortingClick on column heading text to sort by a column. Initial column will be sorted in descending order, click again to get ascending order. The type of data in the cell is determined automatically:
headerrows, then the row with the sort links is the row
closest to the data (the last row in the header). If you do not specify
headerrows, the first row that has a heading in the first column is the
sort row. To sort by the first footer row, set
Sorting example
Row spansTable cells with a single caret indicate follow-up rows of multi-row spans. For example,
| One One | One Two | One Three | | ^ | Two Two | Two Three | | Three One | ^ | Three Three |Results in:
%TABLE{headerrows="2" sort="off"}% | *One One* | *One Two* | *One Three* | | ^ | *Two Two* | *Two Three* | | Two One | Two Two | Two Three | | Three One | ^ | Three Three |Results in:
Col spansCol spans can be achieved by writing table cell separators without contents or spacing:
%TABLE{tablerules="cols"}% | *Mammals* || | Monotremes | Echidna, Platypus | | Marsupials | Kangaroo, Koala | | Placentals || | Fish (to write) ||Results in:
TablePlugin Global SettingsYou can override the default settings for the plugin by defining the following preferences.

Gale's personal reading timeline, a place to collect and share things from Gale's life that were influenced by books and reading.
Created by Galeburton on Sep 7, 2009
Last updated: 09/07/09 at 11:13 AM
Gale B. has no followers yet. Be the first one to follow.
Back to theories. Stock piling novels to read very soon.
New job, new commute, this time by car and with an hour and a half drive, I decided to revisit the classics from my youth by checking out audio books from the library-I was reintroduced to the Scarlet Letter, Tolstoy, to Dickens and many more. Then I met and fell in love with Mauve Binchey, an Irish writer and discovered that I could learn about a country through their writers. I began to read Anne Rice, I was amazed at the history I learned through her writings
Began working on my first Masters in Education, Human Resources/Training and Development. More textbooks than I would like to remember. No pleasure reading at all during this period.
Living in New Jersey commuting to New York City riding public transportation allowed me to read a lot of the "top best sellers" of that time. I was still reading a lot of the black writers now more of the female authors. They were all pretty much the same, although Alice Walker wrote with a heavy lesbian theme and about topics that impacted women
The world of theory was opened to me. I was a philosophy major because I loved to read the thoughts of the great minds of the world from Plato to Dick Gregory. I did not read very much for pleasure during this period on was on a mission to get degreed.
Now I can remember reading and loving e.e. cummings the eccentric poet of that era. I had and awesome English teacher in the 10th grade, his name was Robert Von Fisher IV-what a character. He introduced me to soooo many literary greats, theatre and the opera. I remember walking around campus reading the Hobbit as a badge of honor since only a few of us knew the significance of such writings at that time. James Baldwin, Richard Wright, Zora Neal Hurston I began to discover African American writers, I knew I could be one...I read and wrote poems constantly. My family always subscribed to Jet and Ebony Magazines and to the Amsterdam News to support Black news.
I can remember studying my Worldbook Encyclopedias and dictionaries. I know I was reading but no books jump out at me.
I can remember being read to by my mother and other family members. Education was a huge deal in my family. My grandmother was illiterate and told us daily "Get your education, no one can ever take that away from you." I still hear those words today.

NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit recently decided three important cases pertaining to patent-eligible subject matter for personalized medicine diagnostic tools, therapeutic treatments, and DNA sequences. Although still under further requests for appellate review, the decisions in Prometheus Laboratories v. Mayo Collaborative Services (Prometheus), Associates for Molecular Pathology v. U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, et al. (Myriad) and Classen Immunotherapies v. Biogen Idec (Classen) are largely consistent and provide much needed clarity in this area of patent law.
These cases follow the U.S. Supreme Court's 2010 decision on statutory patentable subject matter of method claims in Bilski v. Kappos (Bilski), which validated the use of the machine-or-transformation test as an important guide to patent eligibility in the life sciences.
In essence, it is clear from these cases that diagnostic method claims are patent-eligible to the extent they recite physically transformative steps and do not merely require mental comparisons or thought analyses. Furthermore, "isolated" DNA is also patent-eligible because it is a unique chemical entity that does not exist in nature.
The method claims at issue in Prometheus were directed to optimizing a patient's dosage level of thiopurine drugs used to treat certain autoimmune diseases. These claims were directed to administering thiopurine to a patient who has an immune-mediated gastrointestinal disorder, and determining the level of thiopurine in the patient's body, wherein the amount of thiopurine detected indicated whether the dosage should be increased or decreased.
In December 2010, the Federal Circuit held again on remand that these therapeutic optimization claims were patentable subject matter meeting the transformation test, because they included an affirmatively recited administration step, and the resultant biochemical transformations were central to the purpose of the claimed method.
Indeed, the Federal Circuit did not make a patent-eligible distinction between methods of treatment and diagnosis per se. With respect to the steps of administering a drug to a patient and determining the level of the drug in the patient's body, the Federal Circuit found that these steps were each significant parts of the claimed treatment regime.
Thus, a medical treatment that results in a chemical or physical transformation of substances is patent-eligible. Further, a diagnosis that involves transformative purifications and analytical tests to determine the level of metabolites in a sample is also patent-eligible. The Supreme Court granted a certiorari review of Prometheus in June 2011.
The specific question raised by the Court is "[W]hether 35 U.S.C. § 101 is satisfied by a patent claim that covers observed correlations between blood test results and patient health, so that the claim effectively preempts all uses of the naturally occurring correlations, simply because well-known methods used to administer prescription drugs and test blood may involve "transformations"of body chemistry.
In a vindicating July 2011 win for the biotechnology industry, the Federal Circuit in Myriad reversed the lower court and held that "isolated" DNA, including genes (e.g., BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes) and sequence-specific nucleic acid probes for detecting breast and ovarian cancer, were patent-eligible subject matter, since these isolated molecules were "markedly different" new chemical entities that did not exist in nature.
Moreover, two types of method claims were at issue in Myriad: diagnostic claims directed to comparing and analyzing DNA sequences for genetic diagnosis, and screening claims for identifying potential anticancer therapeutics.
The Federal Circuit in Myriad again applied the transformative test and unanimously ruled that Myriad's diagnostic claims of merely comparing and analyzing two DNA sequences were patent-ineligible, because they were directed to an abstract mental process that did not include any transformative step. A different finding might have resulted if the claims had included patent-qualifying steps such as isolating, extracting, sequencing, or otherwise transformative processing of tissue samples.
In contrast, Myriad's screening claims for potential anticancer therapeutics were found to be valid because they included active transformative steps, such as growing and determining, that were central to the purpose of the claimed process and involved more than an abstract mental step of looking at and comparing two numbers. This screening claim was found to present functional and palpable applications in the field of biotechnology and to qualify as patentable subject matter.
Two types of method claims were at issue in Classen: claims directed to immunizing a mammalian subject on a schedule that presented the lowest risk of chronic immune-mediated disorders, and claims directed to evaluating immunization schedules that minimize the risk of an autoimmune disorder.
Not so surprisingly, in August 2011, the court in Classen held on remand that the method claims reciting the physical step of immunizing a mammalian subject were patent-eligible, even though other evaluating parts of the claims may have included a mental step. The majority reasoned that similar to treatment claims, the immunizing step was directed to a specific, tangible application, and thus, transformative under Prometheus, and the presence of an additional mental step was not fatal.
In contrast, method claims for determining an immunization schedule by gathering, reviewing, and comparing known immunization results found in the scientific literature, without a physical immunization step, were merely data gathering directed to an intangible mental process, and thus, were patent-ineligible.
The Classen decision at this point is still quite consistent with the Prometheus and Myriad decisions, providing that, to be patent-eligible under the transformative test, a method claim directed to a diagnostic tool or therapeutic treatment or immunization must include an active physical modification step that is central to the purpose of the claimed method.
Patent law protection excludes that which is naturally occurring, a law of nature, or an abstract mental process. The Federal Circuit decisions in Prometheus, Myriad, and Classen for patenting diagnostic, therapeutic, and prophylactic methods balance legal precedent and public policy, essentially finding that claim wording which includes a chemical transformation of material is sufficient to confer patent eligibility.
Of course, in addition to qualifying as patentable subject matter, the claims must also be novel and nonobvious, and the application must meet the written description requirements. Importantly, the method claims should also be written to include steps that can all be performed by a single entity in order to be enforceable against an infringer.
Patent applicants will benefit by ensuring that claims to diagnostic and related personalized medicine methods and tools incorporate active transformational steps, such as extracting, isolating, amplifying, or sequencing, rather than merely making observational comparisons.
While appellate review of the cases will follow, these decisions are generally consistent with the expectations of those in the biotechnology industry and support the continued commercial development of useful diagnostic tools and personalized medicine based on patent protection.
