Pena Punishes Pineiro As Giants Double Their Pleasure at Riverview Park
Julio Pena smacked a three-run home run off Joel Pineiro and RHP Chris Johnson threw four innings of one-run ball and struck out six (including Jorge Soler twice), leading the Giants to a 6-2 victory over the Cubs on Field #6, and Will Callaway, Brad Moss, and Fernando Pujadas stroked RBI doubles as the Giants edged the Cubs 6-5 on Field #5, in Cactus League Extended Spring Training split-squad doubleheader action this morning at the Under Armour Performance Center at Riverview Park in Mesa, AZ.
Jeffrey Baez laced an RBI triple and a double and scored a run and RHP Trevor Clifton threw 2.2 IP of shutout relief with five strikeouts in a losing cause for the Cubs on Field #5, and Mark Malave accounted for both Cub runs on Field #6 with an RBI double and an RBI single.
Jorge Soler (hamstring rehab) played RF for seven innings on Field #6 and batted six times, once in each of the first six innings, He struck out (swinging) on a 1-2 pitch in the bottom of the 1st, was called out on strikes on a 1-2 pitch in the 2nd, bounced-out 6-3 in the 3rd, roped a line-drive single to left (and then stole 2nd base!) in the 4th, reached base on an HBP (he was hit on the right inner elbow) in the 5th (his 3rd HBP in five EXST games this week), and then he struck out (swinging) on a pitch over his head in his final AB in the 6th.
While he is still a bit rusty at the plate (he is hitting only 182/269/227 with no walks, five strikeouts, three HBP, and four hits--three singles and a double--in 26 EXST PA), he is running and playing outfield defense without any apparent difficulty, and so today could very well be the end of his EXST rehab. So don't be surprised if he is back with AA Tennessee by Monday.
35-year old veteran MLB RHP Joel Pineiro was the starting pitcher for the Cubs on Field #6, his fifth EXST outing since signing with the Cubs on March 30th. Pineiro worked five innings (62 pitches), allowing three runs (all earned) on five hits (three singles, a double, and the Pena three-run HR), and two walks. He struck out only one, but had a 10/4 GO/FO.
4/12 - 4.0 IP, 4 H, 2 R (2 ER), 0 BB, 4 K, 1 WP, 8/0 GO/FO, 64 pitches (48 strikes)
4/17 - 4.0 IP, 3 H, 2 R (2 ER), 2 BB, 2 K, 1 WP, 1 PO, 7/2 GO/FO, 66 pitches (43 strikes)
4/22 - 4.2 IP, 9 H, 7 R (7 ER), 2 BB, 3 K, 3/3 GO/FO, 76 pitches (51 strikes)
4/28 - 5.0 IP, 6 H, 4 R (2 ER), 0 BB, 7 K, 1 WP, 4/4 GO/FO, 60 pitches (45 strikes)
5/3 - 5.0 IP, 5 H, 3 R (3 ER), 2 BB, 1 K, 1 HR, 2 GIDP, 10/4 GO/FO, 62 pitches (42 strikes)
TOTAL: 22.2 IP, 27 H, 18 R (16 ER), 6 BB, 17 K, 1 HR, 3 WP, 2 GIDP, 32/13 GO/FO, 70% strikes, 6.35 ERA, 1.46 WHIP

Recent comments
Giants scare me. I think you're wrong about Bumgarner, he would pitch on short rest for Game 2 and then full rest for Game 5. Cueto would go Game 1, then short rest in game 4. Add in some really tough outs in that lineup and I want nothing to do with them. With that rotation they can easily steal a series.
Cards are a tough matchup. The rivalry evens out their comparable lack of talent. And like someone said, they love HRs, which is how to beat the Cubs. The upside is that I would feel really good about Lester twice against STL.
j.buchanan with a nice start...5ip 2h 1bb 3k, 0r/er

Mark Gonzales @MDGonzales
Soler likely to return Sunday, Maddon says
Right now, I'd like to see the Mets first, Giants 2nd.
I believe that since most of the team from last years' NLCS is on the squad this year, they will really amp their game up even more to kick their ass in payback for 2015.
The Giants just do not have the depth in years past, and I think all things equal - and at Wrigley - they could handle them.
I do not want to see the Cards, period. Or their fans, media, or Joe Buck.
I don't want to play Braves in the first round. Any friggin team in the league can win 3 of 5..I hate the first round. Furthermore, I wanted to play the Marlins in 2003 and the Mets over Dodgers last year.
With that said in reverse order:
3. Cardinals: It will be devastating to lose in the first round, but even worse to their main rival. It is increased incentive for the Cardinals, especially after last year. Cards would have nothing to lose, Cubs have everything to lose.
2. Giants: Rotation in the playoffs scare me a bit, but what a lousy team.
1. Mets--because of the losses in the rotation
2. Giants--because they're not the team they were BUT they maybe have bullshit even-year magic?
3. Cardinals--because rivalry and not making the playoffs hurts them more than losing in the NLDS plus getting eliminated by them in the playoffs would make for horrible sports commentary next throughout next season.
Who's asking?
CLE/DET rained out last night already, possible rain-outs in New York (vs. Baltimore), Boston(vs. Toronto) and Philly(vs. Mets) this weekend too.
Not only games involving playoff spots that would need to be played, but any that involve home field advantage.
I got the first one! Second one I'm not even sure what even/odd betting is.
any opponent preference for NLDS?
Mets are down to 1 great pitcher instead of 4. Syndegaard may pitch Sunday which means if Mets win the WC game, he'd be set up for Game 1. There's a chance they clinch a spot by Sunday so he'd pitch the WC and then we'd probably get Colon for Game 1. They've certainly had the hottest bats over the last week and month out of the WC options.
A couple of Cub related puzzles.
Can't teach height and thinness
Hopefully Pirates don't call up A. Lincoln.
j.buchanan going friday...should be...baseball...or something like it.
Wow. I didn't know they could do that.
Nice for Willson, not so much for Addy.
Game is officially called...also officially a tie.
Stats count, no make-up date of course.

PITTSBURGH - The standings don't lie. The Pittsburgh Pirates are not only contenders, but as of a few hours ago, they had the second-best record in Major League Baseball.
Of course, we're not even halfway through the season, and the pennant races don't really start until Aug. 15.
There's still a long way to go, and the Pirates have some weaknesses. The offense has more holes than a donut shop, for one thing. They're inefficient and squander too many opportunities.
The pitching has been very good, but there are concerns that it will be able to maintain the standard that's been set. The relievers are logging a lot of innings, and everyone in the rotation except Jeff Locke has spent time on the disabled list.
So a lot of people are looking for help on the trade market. The non-waiver trade deadline comes at the end of July, which is still six weeks away.
It's still too early to determine precisely what the Pirates need, although generally speaking, a power bat and another starting pitcher would be helpful.
It's also too early to determine who might be available, and what the asking price might be. Will teams be looking for genuine prospects, or will they be satisfied just to get an especially onerous contract off the books?
That remains to be seen.
But as speculation grows, a lot of people are far too comfortable with giving up prospects. Understand there are two different kinds of prospects: There are those who are viewed as genuine building blocks, and those who will likely play in the major leagues without being main cogs.
The Pirates gave up two of the latter last year to acquire Wandy Rodriguez from Houston. Rudy Owens and Robbie Grossman were considered expendable.
When you're talking about sacrificing the likes of Jameson Taillon and Gregory Polanco for a short-term gain, you need to tread carefully. Economic reality says the Pirates will always be an organization that will need a steady flow of home-grown talent.
That becomes more challenging as the team enjoys success and its position in the draft drops. When you're picking at the top of the draft, Gerrit Cole and Taillon are available. If your turn comes in the second half of the draft, those players are off the board.
The Pirates need to improve the major league team in 2013. But they can't sacrifice the talent base that's growing now in the minor league system. Keep the potential impact players and take advantage of what they can do in the six or seven-year window that they're under team control.
The standings are reality, but so are MLB's economics.
All for show
Those heightened security procedures at PNC Park are just the illusion of security.
There's no need to draw a map, but someone intent on evil could accomplish that without carrying contraband through the turnstiles.
So rather than nabbing any bad guys, the metal detector checkpoints show that grandma's artificial hip sets off the alarms.
They do the same thing at Heinz Field. It's always a special moment at the media gate when the security person addresses someone by name when asking to see identification.

Seattle Pacific University's mission is to engage the culture and change the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ. As a premier Christian university, we seek to do this by graduating people of competence and character, by pursuing the kind of scholarship that brings light and understanding into the world, and by modeling a grace-filled community.
What does this mean to you? It means that as a student, you'll be challenged to think, to grow, and to act. You'll be taught by world-class scholars who approach their academic disciplines from a Christian perspective. You'll also participate with your professors and classmates in active learning and engagement in Seattle and around the world.
Seattle Pacific seeks to create a community that will provide you with both freedom and support as you grapple with difficult questions. Our goal is to help you emerge with knowledge and skill, and with an even deeper Christian conviction and desire for Christian leadership and service.
We work hard to maintain and strengthen the Christian academic community at SPU. One way in which we do this is by selecting faculty and staff members who are unapologetically Christian, share the same essentials of faith, and exhibit a vital concern for the education and faith development of students.
Another way is through the Christian Faith Exploration program, which includes worship, faculty-led small groups, forums on current issues, and urban and worldwide ministry. All full-time undergraduate students must meet Seattle Pacific's Christian Faith Exploration requirement.
Students are also asked to adhere to community standards of behavior. They are expected to refrain from academic cheating; sexual immorality; use of tobacco, alcohol, or illegal drugs; and participation in acts of racial or sexual harassment. These are not rules for rules' sake, but are intended to show respect for SPU's Christian tradition and for other community members.
Seattle Pacific University's Christian identity is central to our mission as a university. We believe that without faith, knowledge is incomplete.
It is the policy of Seattle Pacific University not to discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability in its programs or activities, as required by applicable laws and regulations.
As a religious educational institution operating under the auspices of the Free Methodist Church of North America, Seattle Pacific University is permitted and reserves the right to prefer employees or prospective employees on the basis of religion.

Heavy die-off of fish around Presque Isle Bay
If you have seen thousands of dead fish washed up across the shorelines of Presque Isle Bay, you're not alone.
Biologists and other officials with the Department of Environmental Protection began spotting the gizzard shad about two weeks ago.
The fish kill is a natural occurrence, and is unrelated to pollution, officials with DEP's northwest regional office said.
"We're talking about upward of a million fish," said Jim Grazio, DEP's Great Lakes biologist in Erie.
Grazio called the fish kill a "very heavy die-off" that officials haven't seen locally in 10 to 15 years.
"The die-off is ongoing. It's not done," the biologist added. "You can see fish struggling at the surface of the water."
Gizzard shad, especially young ones, are particularly sensitive to cold temperatures.
"They likely began dying under the ice several weeks ago," said Gary Clark, a DEP community relations coordinator based in Meadville. "Warmer temperatures melted the ice and exposed them."
Grazio said he doesn't know why our region is seeing such a heavy die-off of gizzard shad this year.
"Presque Isle Bay provides a warm refuge from the cold temperatures of Lake Erie," he added. "Maybe the fish simply congregated in the bay in greater numbers than in years past."
Grazio said on Wednesday there was a "dramatic accumulation" of thousands of dead fish on the shorelines near Presque Isle State Park's Vista 1 parking lot.
Clark said the gizzard shad have also been spotted on the lakeside and bayside around Marina Lake, Misery Bay and Horseshoe Pond.
"It's nothing to worry about. We'll continue to monitor it," Clark added.
"But if you see them, don't handle dead or dying fish. If you're out there walking your dog, I wouldn't let them get near the fish."
DEP officials said there will be no large cleanup of the small herrings.
"They will rot and recycle into the environment," Grazio said. "It's a nuisance in terms of people who go out there should expect a stinky spring."
Clark on Thursday said the DEP "does not expect a secondary fish kill to occur in the main body of Presque Isle Bay."

CHARLESTON - Utility company FirstEnergy Corp. said it recognizes that customer complaints regarding estimated bills have risen recently, according to paperwork filed in response to questions raised by the Public Service Commission of West Virginia.
The questions were submitted to FirstEnergy in June as part of the commission's general investigation into the company's meter reading and billing practices.
A summary of the company's response stated primary contributors to the rise in complaints were a lack of actual readings due to storms in 2012, as well as an estimation process that needed to be improved.
The company also referred to three "minor issues," such as the number of its meter reading staff at Potomac Edison - FirstEnergy's Eastern Panhandle subsidiary - that decreased after the company merged with Allegheny Energy.
"Many meter readers transitioned to other positions within the company, which created vacancies that needed to be filled," the summary read. "The vacancies resulted in some meter routes to be temporarily estimated. These vacancies have since been filled."
The renumbering process that changed meter reading schedules and a winter 30 percent colder than last year's were also listed as minor issues that affected customer billing issues. The renumbering process for Potomac Edison customers is 68 percent complete, according to the response.
According to FirstEnergy's own data, formal and informal complaints regarding meter reading, estimates and billing have increased over the last year and a half. Total complaints for Potomac Edison and Mon Power - the company's Fairmont-based subsidiary - were at 321 in 2011. In 2012, the companies had 441 complaints. Complaints from January to May of 2013 totaled 421.
The company uses two methods by which to estimate customers' power usage, according to the response. The enhanced estimated process, generally for residential accounts, considers the previous year's or previous month's electric usage. The standard linear estimation process uses the previous year's usage when estimating bills.
While the company wrote that an analysis of estimate and budget billing programs occurred during its transition from Allegheny, a recent review showed that the process could be improved.
"FirstEnergy has initiated an outside review of its estimation routine by (Electric Power Research Institute) to ensure best practices are being considered and used for estimation procedures," the company wrote.
The commission's decision to open a general investigation of FirstEnergy's meter reading and billing practices was initiated after it received an influx of formal and informal complaints from customers.
The investigation is meant to evaluate the practices, policies and procedures of the company, as well as address its strengths and weaknesses, according to the commission's order.
This investigation can be followed at www.psc.state.wv.us by searching for case number 13-0830-E-GI.

New Zealand capitalizes on international dairy demand
New Zealand capitalizes on international dairy demand
New Zealand has followed a similar economic trend to its biggest customer, supplier, and investor, Australia, and it hasn't been pretty. But New Zealand is now beginning to mimic Australia's resource-driven strengths.
According to the most recent installation of The Economist, in April, New Zealand recorded its biggest trade surplus in history: NZ$1.1 billion ($890 million) or 7 percent of GDP at an annual rate. Strong product demand has pushed its terms of trade (the price it receives for exports relative to the price it pays for imports) to a 37-year high.
The majority of this surplus is generated by the overseas demand for dairy products. Butter, cheese, and, most importantly, milk powder account for over a quarter of New Zealand's merchandise exports. Currently, New Zealand claims a third of world dairy exports; that is twice Saudi Arabia's share of world oil exports, noted The Economist.
A report commissioned by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF) showed that the outlook for New Zealand's dairy is positive, due to high international dairy prices driven by strong global demand from developing countries.
MAF estimates that milk solids production increased 2.4 percent for the year ending May 30, 2011. It is predicting concurrent increases for the next three years. Last year, MAF forecasted milk production to increase by 14 percent, with concurrent increases in the following years.
These initial forecasts were based on three key assumptions: an increase in the number of heifers and cows in milk, the increase in milk solids per cow produced, and weather conditions returning to the 30-year average. In reality, cow numbers increased less than expected, and dry weather early on hindered an increase in milk solids per cow. Hence, the forecasted increase in milk solids was not realized.
In 2010, the volume of whole milk powder exported by New Zealand rose 16 percent, while cheese, butter, and skim milk powder export volumes fell. Whole milk powder sales comprised 37 percent of New Zealand's dairy exports earnings in 2010.
New Zealand has been able to take advantage of the robust dairy demand, strengthened by rising incomes and population growth in developing countries. Milk powder in countries like China underpin high international dairy prices.
New Zealand exports the majority of its milk powder to Chinese consumers wary of local brands damaged by food-safety scandals. Chinese tourists sometimes stock up on baby formula on their travels in order to sell the product back home.
Today, the Chinese market has become New Zealand's top export earning market in 2010, worth 17 percent of total dairy export earnings. China, with 31 percent of New Zealand's whole milk powder exports, has become the single biggest dairy export market, overtaking Algeria and Venezuela as the largest importer.

I decided to trek to the library alone. Filling my arms with books people think I've already read but haven't, by Anne Lamott and Madeleine L'Engle. I also checked out four CDs: Fleet Foxes (both of them), The Allman Brothers Legendary Hits, and Fugees The Score.
It was Friends of the Library book sale day, so seeing as how I was in no rush to leave, I poked around and found the heaviest art books they had. I breathed a shelf and was in the college book store, buying my text books with my own money again. But in a blink I'm back, I'm not her anymore. Now I'm a mom and old. And I'll study art one way or the other. I buy The History of Art (823 heavy pages), American Realism, The Flag Paintings of Childe Hassam, Visual Shock, and Making Modernism, all for fifteen dollars. Oh, and a Batman comic for Carter. I could barely carry the bag out to my car, and when I got home made two trips inside.
Then I washed a load of towels for the third time because that's how many times I forgot to put them in the dryer.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — One month after a man's body was found outside his Lake Tahoe home, detectives remain tight-lipped about details.
"We don't have much new to report," Washoe County Sheriff's Office Public Information Officer Bob Harmon said Tuesday. "We are still moving forward with the investigation."
Deputies found the body of Christopher Elliott, 46, on his front porch at about 4 a.m. Sunday, Dec. 22, at the 900 block of Northwood Boulevard.
The death is suspicious, although "it does not appear as if a firearm or cutting device was involved," officials said in a statement.
Detectives were reportedly seeking a person of interest, described as a white male wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and shorts who received a ride from the 7-Eleven to a location on College Drive at about 11 p.m. on Dec. 21.
"We still do have a person of interest. However, no arrests have been made," Harmon said Tuesday. "Citizens have nothing to fear at this point … there is no threat to public safety related to this incident."
Anyone with information should contact the WCSO Detective Division at 775-328-3320 or Secret Witness at 775-322-4900.

In this lesson, we backtrack and learn about the Async features in the WinJS Library. We cover the basics of processes and threads, how the Windows 8 execution model has changed, how apps have traditionally handled long running operations, and how Async Promises simplifies development and debugging of async operations.
Asynchronous programming in JavaScript
WinJS Promise Example
Oops, something didn't work.
Isn't promises callbacks under the cover?
@mshaw: I don't claim to be the expert on this at all. I have an "end user's" knowledge. However, this article:
... does a really nice explaining what the promise really is and how it relates to callbacks.
"A promise is an object. It is not a function and it is not the value returned from the async operation. To get to the value, you need to call the
then method on the promise object. You pass a callback function as an argument to
then. The promise invokes the callback and passes the value you're interested in into the callback. Clear as mud, right?"

Traffic laws should improve safety, not increase revenue
Currently legislation is pending at the state level to reduce plea bargaining, in addition to increased fines, for certain traffic violations.
While I have always favored strict traffic enforcement, a widespread public perception exists that the primary purpose of traffic laws is to generate revenue for state and local governments, and for this reason many speed limits are set unrealistically low, so as to maximize the number of summonses. Unfortunately, in many cases this perception is accurate.
Rather than find new ways to increase fine revenue, it is time to focus on changing unrealistic traffic laws so that their primary purpose is safety, rather than revenue. This includes unnecessary four-way stop signs, as well as speed limits.
I'll cite just three example of many such speed limits, each established by a different entity. One is the I-290 speed limit of 55, another is the 55-mph limit on I-90 between the Lackawanna and Williamsville toll barriers, another is the 30-mph limit on Transit Road, south of Broadway, in the Village of Depew. In each area, the majority of traffic routinely drives at least 10 mph over the limit. Raising these speed limits by 5 to 10 mph would not adversely impact safety, but clearly would reduce the number of summonses issued.
I would also suggest a law that would make a first-time violation, where the speed was not more 12 mph over the limit, carrying a fine only and with no points, with insurance companies prohibited from using it as a basis for rate or surcharge increases.

Frost seeding clover into wheat shows promise
Frost seeding clover into wheat shows promise
After reading research from their local University of Wisconsin-Extension agent based in Winnebago County, Pete and Charlie Knigge decided to give frost seeding red clover into winter wheat a try. Last year, they added 10 pounds of red clover seed per acre when they applied urea in the spring. Urea was applied at 150 pounds per acre. They choose to apply with an airflow spreader (opposed to a box spreader) so they could get more even application. Not entirely convinced the double cropping system would work, the Omro, Wis., dairy operation purchased the cheapest red clover seed available.
The red clover had good germination rates, and timely rains helped get it off to a good start. However, by the time the wheat was harvested, it didn't look so good. That all changed a week after the harvest, "The red clover just took off," said Pete. "We estimate it yielded about 2 tons per acre. It made a great feed . . . the red clover was diluted with some wheat stubble, and it provided a good forage mix for our bred heifers. We green chopped it on a daily basis," he said. "The only change we will make is planting a little better variety of red clover which we will do this year."
The Knigges will no-till corn into the winter-wheat-red-clover field this year. As for nitrogen credits they can expect, previous research by the University of Wisconsin Nutrient and Pest Management Program estimates the red clover provided 50 to 80 pounds of nitrogen credits per acre. That research also shows that the Knigge yields were a bit higher than the 1.7-tons-per-acre yield average from the research trial. Fall forage yields had a wide range from .33 to 3.26 tons per acre and depended heavily on the weather.
For more on frost seeding, download the attached PDF from the University of Wisconsin Winnebago County Extension.

I feel sorry for for anyone else who wasted two hours watching this CRAP like I did!!! Shame on you!
Just to say thank you for the webcast part 1and part 2. Is there possible to get a better quality webcast? It's just very difficult to follow.
Thanks in advance,Nelson
Quality of video in this presentation is terrible, keeps freezing and not updating properly. To be honest, first real day of watching Channel 9 videos and for modern monitors all the videos are too small and don't enlarge well.
NIce tutorial, but the quality is justs horrible, even with downloaded "high quaity" is even worse as it skips and freezes
This video should probably be removed and done by somebody a little bit more competent...
This video is > 6 months old now and no one cares enough to fix it. What makes you think new users are going to care enough to try and watch it?
This sucks!
This could have been very helpful, but the video quality is very bad.
This is a crying shame in my eyes; the presentation's audio, as poor quality as it is, is at least workable (at least compared to the 'black-outs' in part 1). Unfortunately the video is NOT. In comparison to your first video on Scrum, this one is in severe need of some TLC.
To those heavily critising (such as ""Gravity""), please link higher quality / better webcasts? I mean genuinely, I would love to get a good grasp of not only the fundamentals, but the best practices that you seem not to believe the author expresses in this webcast.
Thank you for the effort nonetheless. Pretty please with cherries and what-not, re-record this with a better grade of audio and especially video?
Almost all of these kinds of videos on channel 9 are pretty poorly produced (no offense). I think it is because everyone is pressured to "perform live" and they are typically doing this for free, so they might not have the time to prep (and work through the technical kinks) as much as they would have if they were getting paid. Plus they are typically phoning it in (literally). I know these guys do like a thousand of these kinds of demos. It would be nice if they would be able to "replace" the live meetings with a cherry picked presentation from their collection of recorded presentations.
Don't get me wrong though, the "live" presentation is an awesome forum for early access and insights from thought leaders. However, once the materials and content are more commonly available, I think it would serve the public and the presenter's best interest to replace the unrefined edition with a more polished presentation.
I think there is a philosophy that keeping them "organic" takes the pressure off everyone with their own presentations and perhaps helps us to learn to deal with imperfection better in our daily lives. Despite the technical glitches, we generally get the gist of the topic, and we get a few good pointers to take away at least.
I definitely enjoyed this presentation and the numerous others. So thanks for continuing to provide the forum and top notch speakers.

text: NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Entertainment Weekly * The Boston Globe * Kansas City Star "A legal thriller that's comparable to classics such as Scott Turow's Presumed Innocent . . . Tragic and shocking, Defending Jacob is sure to generate buzz."--Associated Press NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Andy Barber has been an assistant district attorney in his suburban Massachusetts county for more than twenty years. He is respected in his community, tenacious in the courtroom, and happy at home with his wife, Laurie, and son, Jacob. But when a shocking crime shatters their New England town, Andy is blindsided by what happens next: His fourteen-year-old son is charged with the murder of a fellow student. Every parental instinct Andy has rallies to protect his boy. Jacob insists that he is innocent, and Andy believes him. Andy must. He's his father. But as damning facts and shocking revelations surface, as a marriage threatens to crumble and the trial intensifies, as the crisis reveals how little a father knows about his son, Andy will face a trial of his own--between loyalty and justice, between truth and allegation, between a past he's tried to bury and a future he cannot conceive. Award-winning author William Landay has written the consummate novel of an embattled family in crisis--a suspenseful, character-driven mystery that is also a spellbinding tale of guilt, betrayal, and the terrifying speed at which our lives can spin out of control. Praise for Defending Jacob "Ingenious . . . Nothing is predictable. All bets are off."-- The New York Times "Stunning . . . a novel that comes to you out of the blue and manages to keep you reading feverishly until the whole thing is completed."--The Huffington Post "Gripping, emotional murder saga . . . The shocking ending will have readers pulling up their bedcovers to ward off the haunting chill."-- People "The hype is justified. . . . Exceptionally serious, suspenseful, engrossing."-- The Washington Post "Even with unexpected twists and turns, the two narratives interlock like the teeth of a zipper, building to a tough and unflinching finale. This novel has major motion picture written all over it."-- The Boston Globe "Yes, this book came out in January. No, we are not done talking about it."-- Entertainment Weekly

Two years after showing up in Buffalo as a 35-year-old journeyman who was the first cut out of New York Mets spring training, R.A. Dickey became a Cy Young Award winner Wednesday night.
The Mets right-hander and former Bisons pitcher was a runaway winner for the honor as the National League's top hurler in voting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. And it was a historic victory as no knuckleball pitcher has ever been so honored.
Dickey, who went 20-6 with a 2.73 earned run average, received 27 of 32 first-place votes and 209 overall points in the balloting to easily outdistance Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw (96 points).
"It's a victory for all of us. It brings a real legitimacy to the pitch and is a shout-out to those men who performed it before me," Dickey said on a national conference call. "I've just taken the foundation and added my own personality to it."
In the American League, Tampa Bay lefty David Price edged Detroit's Justin Verlander in the closest vote of any election since ballots began permitting voting for more than one pitcher in 1970. Price (20-5, 2.56) was named first on 14 of the 28 ballots, second on 13 and finished with 153 points. Verlander, who had 13 firsts, finished with 149. The other first-place vote went to Rays closer Fernando Rodney.
Dickey is one of three former Bisons regulars in the modern era to win a Cy, joining Cliff Lee (Cleveland 2008) and Bartolo Colon (Anaheim, 2005).
Dickey went 4-2 with a 2.23 ERA and two complete games with the Bisons in 2010 before getting called up to the Mets for good. On April 29, 2010, he pitched a one-hit shutout in a 4-0 win over Durham at Coca-Cola Field, allowing a leadoff single and retiring the final 27 men in Buffalo's closest brush with a perfect game since 1952.
Dickey credited former Mets General Manager Omar Minaya with having the faith to sign him and giving him a chance in Buffalo.
"He knew what I was as a person away from the field and he was willing to give me a shot when a lot of other teams took a pass," Dickey said. "To every team's defense, I don't think anybody could have predicted this is what would become. But at the same time, Omar and the people in the Mets organization had the imagination and the vision to see this as a possible help and I'm so thankful for them ... to give me the platform to perform my craft and hone it."
"It was an honor to work with R.A. throughout the year and have a front-row seat to his historic season," Mets manager Terry Collins, the Buffalo Baseball Hall of Famer and former Bisons manager, said in a statement released by the Mets. "R.A. is a great teammate, fierce competitor and even a better human being."
Dickey joins Tom Seaver (1969, 1973 and 1975) and Dwight Gooden (1985) as the only pitchers in team history to earn the award. He finished tied for second in the majors with 20 wins, led the NL in strikeouts (230), innings pitched (233.2), shutouts (three) and complete games (five) and was second in ERA. In June, he became the first NL pitcher since 1944 to toss back-to-back one-hitters.
According to ESPN.com, Price had the highest average fastball velocity among ERA-title qualifiers this season at 95.4 mph. The slowest? Dickey at 83.4.
"I'm trying to overpower guys and then trick him," Price said. "He's just trying to throw a knuckleball. It's a game within a game. For R.A. it's a phenomenal year."
"Isn't that fun? Isn't that great? That's what I think is so awesome," Dickey said. "To see the dichotomy between a guy who throws 100 from the left side and a guy who grinds it out with the knuckleballs from the other side. It shows you that there's not just one way to do it. "
Price's edge may have come from his success in the rugged AL East, where he was 10-2, 2.61 in 16 starts.
"There's not an easy out in the lineup," Price said. "Every game feels like it's a postseason game ... I know that's benefited us. You kind of feel like you've been playing postseason games the entire year."

"Not only is less sugar produced from beets lifted from high nitrate fields, but more tons of beets must go through the plant. Processing costs the same regardless of the amount of sugar recovered. And plants are limited to a given capacity, so low-sugar beets cost both the company and the producer.
" 'If you want to get the most recoverable sugar, nitrogen management is the key,' says John Moraghan, soil scientist
at North Dakota State University.
"Last year he studied commercial fields in Walsh County where some good growers capable of raising high yields had been raising low quality beets, low in sugar and high in sodium. Even when taking into consideration such variables as varieties, management, stands, Cercospora and planting dates, he found that nitrate dominated everything.
" 'Nitrates came through like a beacon. We have to look for fields that are dark green in late fall. That's the giveaway as far as the quality problem is concerned. We have to manage rotations and fertilizer so that at the end of the season, fields will be showing yellow,' Moraghan advises."
Count Adult Flies Before Applying Insecticides -- "If you're a Red River Valley sugarbeet grower who has been routinely applying insecticides to control sugarbeet root maggot, you may have been spending money needlessly.
"About the only grower who should routinely apply sugarbeet maggot control insecticides is the grower who has had a long-term maggot problem, says Andy Anderson, North Dakota State University entomologist. Just because a neighbor down the road a couple miles has a problem is no reason to apply maggot control insecticides.
"Anderson is in the process of developing a monitoring program to check the insect population, then determine the point at which he can correlate adult insect numbers with damage. Based on that information, he can make a recommendation to treat or not in June rather than a grower assuming he routinely has to apply maggot control insecticides in April or early May."

ALBANY – The teenager making $7.25 per hour assembling Quarter Pounders at McDonald's will be getting a 75-cents-an-hour raise in January as a result of the new state budget's minimum-wage deal.
Good news?
Certainly for your child and also for McDonald's, a company that saw $1.4 billion in net income in the most recent financial quarter. That is because McDonald's won't have to pay a penny of that raise.
Instead, New York taxpayers will foot the tab.
In what national tax experts say is a first in the United States, New York taxpayers, not employers, will cover the higher payroll costs associated with raising the minimum wage to $8 for a select group of employees – teenagers between 16 and 19 years old.
And if the teens already are making $8 an hour, the state will even pay the 75-cents-an-hour difference beginning Jan. 1.
In addition, the state will continue covering a partial share of the increase – up to $1.35 per hour per eligible employee – when the wage reaches $9 per hour in January 2016 and right on through 2018.
The development has critics accusing budget negotiators of a cynical trade in order to get reluctant Republicans to buy into a minimum-wage hike. Some are also questioning the wisdom of a business bailout that could prompt some companies to hire an 18-year-old over someone who is 21 or 30, or even a senior citizen, whose wage won't be partially subsidized.
The subsidy will add up. If the teen is working full time, the annual subsidy could be worth as much as $2,800 per worker come 2016.
"I've never heard of this one. We think it's particularly outrageous," said Paul Sonn, legal co-director of the National Employment Law Project in Washington, an advocacy group for low-income workers. "It was really a quid quo pro without a policy justification for it."
Then there's this twist: The dangled subsidy will get paid only if the employer pays the exact minimum wage at the time, not a penny more. That represents a built-in disincentive for employers to give teens a pay raise for good performance, the critics say.
Besides the age requirement, a covered employee also must be a student. But the bill does not define student, leaving one legislator to suggest large companies could set up in-house, part-time training schools so an 18- or 19-year-old high school graduate could still be considered a student.
"It's so poorly conceived that it's going to be a needless drain on public resources. But probably the most damaging effect is that it has this perverse hiring and wage payment incentives so you only get the credit if you hire a teen instead of an adult and you only get the credit if you pay exactly the minimum wage," said James Parrot, deputy director and chief economist at the labor-backed Fiscal Policy Institute.
"It's the first time I've ever seen an incentive to keep wages down," added Parrott, who estimates 80 percent of those affected by the minimum-wage increase are 20 and older.
Strangely enough, even business groups whose members will benefit weren't taking pride of authorship for this idea.
"It's certainly not the approach we had asked for," said Kenneth Pokalsky, head of government affairs at the Business Council of New York State. "I don't know how this got on the table."
Unlike some tax credits, the minimum-wage subsidy has no limits on how much the state will pay out annually. And unlike many tax credits, there is no targeting, such as only for small businesses or those located in economically distressed areas.
How much this will cost is anyone's guess.
The State Senate, where apparently the idea was born, could not provide an estimate on the number of teen workers whose higher wage could be subsidized by the state.
But Scott Reif, a spokesman for Senate co-leader Dean Skelos said there would be no cost to the state until 2015, when the credit will be worth about $24 million to businesses and then grow to $45 million by the following year.
The Cuomo administration estimates there are about 250,000 student youth workers; about 30 percent earn the minimum wage or less.
Officials say the five-year program will cost the state about $201 million, and will be reduced if the federal government raises the national minimum wage during the period.
But some critics say the costs will end up far higher because the state is basing the estimates on past teen employment wage levels without state subsidies that will encourage more teen hiring at the minimum wage level.
Broad impact
Meanwhile, business lobbyists say the minimum-wage hike will cost New York companies at least $1 billion a year in higher payroll costs.
"I'm fairly certain there isn't a billion dollars' worth of tax credits in the budget, so it doesn't pan out in the end. We haven't neutralized the impact," said Sampson of Unshackle Upstate.
The Senate passed the measure early Wednesday morning, and the Assembly will pass it today when it convenes to take up the 2013 budget.
The idea of the credit, according to Skelos, is to provide an "important safeguard to protect businesses associated with the wage increase."
For the past year, Skelos had argued that a minimum-wage increase would be a job-killer, forcing employers on tight margins to lay off workers. The Long Island Republican backed the idea of a lower wage for teens than the full and higher rate but was rebuffed in talks with Democrats.
In a year when the state's finances are still shaky, critics wonder how the state can justify the tax break.
Even business groups, whose members will benefit from the credit and who fought the minimum-wage hike, said they didn't ask for the tax break and are concerned the state did not spend more time on a long-needed major job creation effort.
Not all are unhappy.
Credit will help
One employer with a large teenage workforce said he was looking at $100,000 in extra payroll costs with the wage hike. The tax credit will help.
Keith Anderson, whose eight Anderson's Frozen Custard restaurants employ more than 150 young workers in Western New York, said he understands the logic behind the wage hike.
"You want people to survive on what they make," he said. "It just doesn't apply to young kids. They don't need to pay rent. They don't need to pay bills."
Anderson said he gives teen workers raises as they gain more skills. Under this new law, he can continue to do that, but he won't get the tax credit if he breaks the minimum-wage ceiling.
"We have good kids, and we pay them more so they don't go somewhere else. If I had to pay them $9 an hour, I'd fire them. But at $7.25, OK, I'll work with you and get you going," he said.
Matching other states
When the first phase of the minimum-wage hike kicks in at $8 an hour in January, it will reach a level already attained or exceeded by California, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, Oregon, Vermont and Washington, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures in Denver.
Mike Durant, state director of the National Federation of Independent Business, worries the new credit might involve too much paperwork for some his small-business members without human resources or accounting divisions. And those are the very companies that should be able to get such a tax break if this is the law, he said.
The tax credit's flaws are not lost on Durant, who believes state officials would have better served the economy, especially upstate, by helping to cut state-imposed business costs and regulatory red tape.
"I think people will call in to question whether (the wage hike) is an appropriate use of taxpayer dollars," Sampson said.

The air quality at newly renovated Math Science Technology School 197 is making faculty and students sick and could force the school to temporarily relocate if a solution isn't found soon.
Superintendent Pamela C. Brown said that was a possibility after listening to stories of disturbing environmental conditions, including sewage backup problems, at Wednesday's School Board meeting.
"This is the first I'm hearing about some of the health conditions that are being described tonight ... I assure the board that I will have discussions about the possibility of moving the staff and students if it becomes excessive, and we need to make that decision fairly quickly," Brown said.
Also at the meeting, a proposal advanced by M&T Bank Chairman and CEO Robert G. Wilmers to hire Teach for America recruits was declared dead for this year.
The plan, which he offered to help fund, had the support of Brown, but a board member said there weren't enough votes for it to pass and meet the deadline set by the AmeriCorps organization.
Christen LaBruna, a science teacher at the technology school, said teachers "connected the dots six or seven weeks ago" and concluded that they were getting sick from environmental conditions.
Michelle Zimmerman, a seventh-grade biology teacher, said more than 10 teachers have suffered symptoms.
"It's getting to the point of dizziness, nausea, even cognitive issues by the end of the day. We can't teach without having the windows open. We're even moving classrooms because sometimes the fumes and the smell are so bad," Zimmerman said.
Joseph P. Giusana, chief operating officer of the Division of Plant Services, presented a list of actions the facilities department has taken and plans to take to determine what is causing the problem.
"We have done some initial testing. Those tests have not shown any result that in any way indicates that we have a hazardous environment there, although there are conditions that are causing the discomfort that's been stated," Giusana said.
He said they were examining the plumbing system and the air-conditioning system, testing individual chemicals and looking into nearby facilities and plants as potential sources.
LP Ciminelli, the school contractor, and an industrial hygienist are also involved, he said.
But LaBruna said the school administration and the facilities department were slow to respond, and still not doing enough.
The teachers received support from developer Carl Palladino, who in using his time at the lectern orally attacked Giusana and other individuals, prompting his removal from the room by board President Mary Ruth Kapsiak.
Meanwhile, the proposal to bring Teach for America recruits to Buffalo had too many unanswered questions and too little time to resolve them, board members Ralph Fernandez and Jason McCarthy said.
Brown agreed more time was needed. "It was a very short time frame for the board. We are definitely going to continue our discussions for possibly next year," she said.

Analysis of Environmental and Economic Damages from British Petroleum's Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill

Missouri State University
Albany Law Review, Vol. 74, No. 1, 2011: 563-585
This study examines the environmental and economic damages caused by British Petroleum's Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the spring and summer of 2010. The process of oil exploration and production is extremely challenging, offering significant rewards that are offset by equally significant risks. The world's demand for energy is constantly growing, thereby leading to extraordinary efforts and gigantic investments by energy companies to find new supplies of oil. The $365 million Deepwater Horizon was an offshore drilling unit designed to operate in waters as deep as 8,000 feet and to drill down 30,000 feet. The Horizon was drilling an exploratory well about 41 miles off the coast of Louisiana, when on April 20 an explosion killed 11 workers and began the release of massive amounts of oil into the Gulf. The well was eventually capped on July 15. Total damages to BP, the environment, and the US gulf coast economy are estimated to be $36.9 billion. The damages are attributed to three major factors: (1) human error and equipment failure at BP's Deepwater Horizon offshore drilling unit, (2) failure of the US government to assign, and in some cases to permit, resources to assist with the containment of the oil spill, and (3) misinformation disseminated by the news media regarding the amount and location of oil pollution in the water and on the beaches of the Gulf of Mexico.

TAMPA, Fla. — Per quirky Outback Bowl trend, backup quarterback Dylan Thompson threw the game-winning touchdown pass. It went to Bruce Ellington, who led the Gamecocks in receptions this season but hadn't caught a thing before the final drive in a 33-28 victory.
But for a stretch of the fourth quarter Tuesday, Ellington's former Berkeley County high school rival owned the game-winning play: Michigan senior defensive tackle Quinton Washington blocked an Adam Yates field-goal attempt to preserve the Wolverines' 22-21 lead.
Washington, a junior who played at Timberland High School, hurried off the Raymond James Stadium field with his heartbroken Michigan teammates after the game.
Ellington, a Berkeley High School graduate, excused himself from celebrating with fellow South Carolina players and chased Washington down.
"That's my boy," Ellington said.
They hugged, wished each other well, and went separate ways.
The No. 11 Gamecocks squeezed the most from their talented roster over a long day against No. 19 Michigan.
They won with only one yard rushing from running backs.
Jadeveon Clowney didn't get a sack.
Michigan knocked quarterback Connor Shaw out of the game as South Carolina was trying to rally in the final minute.
And with 11 seconds remaining, Ellington suddenly was on the happy sideline and Washington was instantly glum.
Thompson's 32-yard touchdown pass fluttered down the middle of the field so beautifully, Ellington said, it was "like slow motion."
"I was happy that Ace (Sanders) had a heck of a game, he was catching everything," said Ellington, a sophomore. "I was just patient, waiting for the ball to come to me."
Berkeley County pals
More strangeness: Ellington is well known as a skilled kick returner, but the 6-4, 300-pound Washington made the big play on special teams.
"I have to credit (defensive tackle) Will Campbell for that," Washington said of the blocked kick. "We came up to the line of scrimmage and Will said we should try to double-team a guy. Big Will is a senior, so I listened to him."
Washington broke up the middle and Yates' effort was low enough for a thud.
Washington knew from Friday night games that Ellington was capable of shaking up the scoreboard.
"Berkeley was our big rival," Washington said. "I remember very well Bruce always ran all over us and gave us a hard time.
"I thought he might do something (in the Outback Bowl) because he's a really good player."
'Heart' and heartache
It was a fine line between success and frustration the whole sunny day.
Michigan head coach Brady Hoke liked the early vibe in his "NASCAR" no-huddle offense, but the Wolverines trailed at halftime, 21-13.
The Gamecocks came out demonstrative and jabbering on defense, but seemed to wear down — by Michigan design.
"We tried to keep their defense on the field and get them tired," Hoke said.
"We played pretty good defense when their offense was on the field."
The fine line cut across Berkeley County.
"We didn't win some of the games we should have won this season," Washington said, "but, overall, it went pretty well. We came prepared for this game."
South Carolina needed contributions from two quarterbacks; head coach Steve Spurrier gave game balls to both Shaw and Thompson.
Mike Davis had 43 yards on 12 carries in the Clemson win but didn't get an Outback Bowl carry.
Some of the Gamecocks' best players were very quiet.
But a top-10 finish is guaranteed.
"We showed a lot of heart," Ellington said. "We showed we could come through adversity but still come through with a win."

When Humphrey hears that school is ending, he can't believe his ears. What's a classroom hamster to do if there's no more school? It turns out that Mrs. Brisbane has planned something thrilling for Humphrey and Og the frog: they're going to Camp Happy Hollow with Ms. Mac and lots of the kids from Room 26! Camp is full of FUN-FUN-FUN new experiences, but it's also a little scary. There are fur-raising wild sounds and smells, and there's something called the Howler to watch out for. Humphrey is always curious about new adventures, but could camp be too wild even for him?

TRUCKEE, Calif. - International real estate investment and services firm Kennedy Wilson (NYSE: KW) today announced the company and its partners acquired The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe, and The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Lake Tahoe, from the property's lenders.
Pacific Western Bank provided $45 million of financing, according to a press release from Kennedy Wilson. The company invested $18 million of equity in the transaction for a 50 percent ownership interest.
Constructed in 2009, the resort includes The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe, and The Ritz-Carlton Residences. The hotel is the first Forbes Four-Star/AAA Five Diamond resort and includes 170 guest rooms. The residential component encompasses the entire top floor of the hotel, and a private wing on the third floor includes 23 penthouse residences.
"The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe, is the premier highlands resort west of the Rockies and we are pleased to be able to acquire the property at a significant discount to replacement cost," said Stuart Cramer, president of KW Residential Investment Group, in a statement. "Along with the recent increase in investment and upgrading of properties in the area, The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe now establishes Lake Tahoe as a true world class destination."
Nestled mid-mountain on the Northstar California Resort, the Northern California contemporary mountain retreat features slope-side ski-in, ski-out access in winter and mountain concierge services for golf, mountain biking and hiking in the summer. The hotel's signature restaurant, Manzanita, features seasonal French-inspired California cuisine, while the resort's 17,000 square foot Highlands Spa provides treatments and therapies themed around water and the woods.
The company will begin marketing the 23 units at The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Lake Tahoe in January.
"We expect sales at the property to benefit from the booming Bay Area economy and housing market," said Tori Long of Tahoe Exclusive Properties, the sales agent for the units, in a statement. "Additionally, the penthouses will stand the test of time as the pinnacle of luxury ownership in all of Tahoe. Families will be pampered here, children will learn to ski and explore here, and they'll enjoy the wonder of the mountains coupled with a level of sophistication and service unrivaled anywhere."
