are there other citys (in the world not just usa) great as these, famous for creating so many great fighters and if there are what fighters came from there?
and im sure i missed some names, are there any other great fighters that hail from either boston or philly?

About Domaine William Fevre
Fevre was once good. Now it's great. In fact, the improvement of this house is one of the most exciting developments in Chablis in the past 20 years. The ownership of the Henriot family of Champagne, which also owns Bouchard Père et Fils in Beaune, has resulted in a striking transformation.

27th Annual ICP Infinity Awards Honor Humanistic Tradition
Posted by Conor Risch on Wednesday May 11, 2011 | Awards/Contests/Grants, Celebrity, Events, Fashion, Fine Art, Media, Photojournalism
Posted by Conor Risch on Wednesday May 11, 2011 | Awards/Contests/Grants, Celebrity, Events, Fashion, Fine Art, Media, Photojournalism
A standing ovation for photographer/writer Ruth Gruber, who in her 19 books documented refugee crises and humanitarian issues, marked an emotional high point at the International Center of Photography's Infinity Awards, held last night in New York City. Gruber, 99, won the Cornell Capa Award, named for ICP's founder. She told the audience that Edward Steichen had told her to shoot with her heart. "I try to use these images to fight injustice and hopefully bring peace to the world," she said.
Many of the awards underscored the ICP's original mission as an institution devoted to supporting humanistic photography. In his opening remarks, ICP director Willis Hartshorn noted the increasing dangers facing photojournalists around the world. He expressed gratitude for the safe return of two past Infinity winners, Tyler Hicks and Lynsey Addario, who had been captured and detained in Libya this spring, and noted the deaths in Libya in April of Tim Hetherington and Chris Hondros. He said their work was "a testament to their dedication to the spirit of ICP's mission."
In accepting the Lifetime Achievement award, Elliott Erwitt said, "The wonderful thing about being a freelance photographer is the opportunity to be in marvelous situations sequentially." In the video that preceded his speech, he noted that Photoshop, while a powerful tool, has hurt photography's credibility. In the video, Erwitt then donned a black wig, fake mustache and sunglasses, and adopted the persona of a pretentious art photographer who "adores Photoshop." The art photographer's advice to young photographers: "Photograph many famous people and print the pictures big. The bigger they are, the more artistic."
The video, showing many of Erwitt's amusing photos, brought laughs from the audience, but at the end of the video Erwitt said, without disguise, "I think there is sadness in many of my pictures. But humor and sadness are closely related."
Adrees Latif, a photographer for Reuters, won the Photojournalism award for his coverage of the floods in Pakistan. He thanked ICP for honoring images of "one of the worst humanitarian crises of our time."
Abelardo Morrell, winner of the award for Art, showed his camera obscura images for which he is best-known, and also recent work he has done exploring the west, using a tent to create images that are cast on the ground. The Infinity Award for Publication was awarded to From Here to There: Alec Soth's America, the catalogue of a Walker Art Center retrospective of Alec Soth's career. Soth ("Rhymes with both," the photographer said in the video shown before his speech, "it's a lifelong problem") said he became photographer because he is "a socially awkward person" who "wanted to work alone," but over time he's been drawn more and more into collaborations like the one he had with the Walker Art Center. "The truth is, I like it."
Other awards given out were the Applied Photography award, given to fashion photographer Viviane Sassen; the Writing award, given to writer and curator Gerry Badger; and the ICP Trustee Award, given to the Durst family of real estate developers, who are also ICP's landlords.
Among the photo industry people attending the Infinity Awards were photo editors Kira Pollack, Paul Moakley and Patrick Witty of Time; Michelle McNally of The New York Times and James Estrin of the Times' Lens blog; New Yorker director of photography Whitney Johnson and her predecessor, Elisabeth Biondi; Jack van Antwerp of The Wall Street Journal; Chris Dougherty of People; David Friend, editor at Vanity Fair; Stefano Tonchi, editor of W; Glenda Bailey, editor of Harper's Bazaar; photographers David Burnett, Misha Erwitt, Ron Haviv, Rick Smolan, Susan Meiselas and Lynsey Addario who, having spent the last few weeks in New York accepting an Overseas Press Club award and giving interviews, was on her way home to New Delhi.

Motorola ATRIX HD Review
0. phoneArena 16 Jul 2012, 07:45 posted on
It's not that AT&T doesn't get its fair share of equally compelling devices, as the carrier nabbed the ATRIX 4G and ATRIX 2 last year, but AT&T customers are starving for something that's similar to what Verizon is blessed with. Thankfully, they're heeding the call now that the Motorola ATRIX HD is finally here, which is sporting a drool worthy $99.99 on-contract price. After seeing so many stellar devices for AT&T, the ATRIX HD has a tough battle ahead of itself in an attempt to stay relevant amongst the pack...

Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course Announces 2012 Schedule
All 2011 races return including action from IZOD IndyCar Series,
American Le Mans Series, Rolex Series, AMA Pro Racing and more
(December 16, 2011) – Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course announced its six-date 2012 public event schedule today. The season begins in June and runs through early September, peaking with the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Challenge & The Honda Indy® 200 at Mid-Ohio on August 3-5. VIP Race Passes and tickets for all events will go on sale January 9, 2012.
Fresh off celebrating the track's 50th season in 2011, Mid-Ohio opens the 2012 docket on June 8-10 with the GRAND-AM Road Racing Rolex Sports Car Series in town for the EMCO Gears Classic. On the schedule as a fall championship race last year, the event moves back to its familiar season opening slot. The Rolex Sports Car Series and Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge races will be broadcast on SPEED.
Two weeks following the kickoff event, the grounds are transformed into a museum of sorts as the track welcomes the Sportscar Vintage Racing Association and hosts the Vintage Grand Prix of Mid-Ohio. Nearly 400 cars on track and a few hundred in a pair of car shows make for the automotive purists' dream on June 22-24. The Union Jack will fly high this year as the Featured Marque is expanded to form a British Invasion.
As is tradition, July is motorcycle month at Mid-Ohio with a return to back-to-back weekends featuring two-wheeled machines both modern and mature. The Buckeye SuperBike Weekend
presented by Dunlop Tire
on July 13-15 brings the marveling machines of AMA Pro Racing to Lexington, Ohio for the 30th time. The Wiseco SuperBike 100 Doubleheader and other top class races can be seen on SPEED. Just a few days later, the American Motorcyclist Association hosts its largest event of the year at Mid-Ohio when AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days return on July 20-22. Tens of thousands from across the country flock to the grounds for the continent's largest motorcycle swap meet, dozens of class races, bike shows and more.
The highlight of the summer is once again an American Le Mans Series and IZOD IndyCar Series doubleheader on August 3-5. This season marks the sixth straight co-headlined Mid-Ohio Sports Car Challenge & The Honda Indy® 200 at Mid-Ohio weekend. This unique event boasts the top sports car and open wheel series in the nation competing on back-to-back days. Mid-Ohio is the only permanent road course to host both series on the same weekend. NBC Sports Network (formerly Versus) televises the Honda Indy® 200 while the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Challenge will be broadcasted live on ABC for the first time ever. The World Challenge Championships, USF2000 National Championship and F1000 Pro Series will be on the schedule in support of the main events. Autograph sessions, tech talks and other fan activities round out the weekend.
Finishing the season is a series featuring the type of amateur racing that's been an anchor of Mid-Ohio culture throughout its five decade history. The National Auto Sport Association's (NASA) top racers compete in the NASA Championships
presented by Toyo Tires
on September 7-9. Over 400 entries typically make this one of the biggest weekends of the year.
"Each season we strive to put together a diverse schedule that has something for all motorsports fans and with everything from 2011 returning next year, we feel we accomplished our goal," said Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course President Craig Rust. "The IZOD IndyCar Series, both major sports car series in ALMS and GRAND-AM Road Racing and AMA Pro Racing joining the wonderful amateur series like SVRA, NASA and AMA makes the Mid-Ohio schedule one of the country's best in road racing."
VIP Race Passes and tickets for all events go on sale Monday, January 9, 2012. Gift certificates are available now by calling 800-MID-OHIO (643-6446) Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m- 5 p.m. Parking is free and children 12 and under are also admitted free at every event. Visit

The park-like, 330-acre complex is located in Lexington, Ohio, near Mansfield, 60 miles north of Columbus and 75 miles south of Cleveland. The track has been called the most competitive course in the U.S. and annually hosts a diverse lineup of locally, regionally and nationally sanctioned racing events for amateur, club and professional drivers and riders.

What's a Movie Worth? Determining the Monetary Value of Motion Pictures' TV Rights

Mark B. Houston

Unity Media Group

Motion pictures remain among the most valuable products for broadcast by television (TV) stations around the globe. As a result, TV broadcast rights generate more revenues than the theater box office for the movie studios that own these assets and are often a crucial element in a film's financing. A key managerial challenge for studios and for TV broadcasters is to determine the monetary value of the TV rights for a movie. This research develops a multi-equation model of a movie's monetary TV rights value that accounts both for the differences in value-related information over time and for the differences in project-related risk associated with the varying information availability. Drawing on a large data set of U.S.-produced movies that aired on German TV, the authors estimate the model parameters simultaneously through partial least squares modeling as a prediction tool. This approach allows them to separate direct and indirect effects among value drivers and to estimate the monetary value of the German TV rights for individual movies for different points in time. Sellers and buyers can use the model to increase the efficiency and reduce the riskiness of price negotiations for the right to broadcast a particular film on TV.

Most of us have questions about money. How can I build my credit? What can I do to pay for college? What should I look for in a financial advisor? Some of us may even feel as though the questions we have about money are a little stupid.
Liz Pulliam Weston, one of the foremost experts on money, and a popular personal finance columnist, believes that there are no dumb questions about money. Indeed, she tackles some of the most common questions about money — and provides practical answers to them — in her latest book, There Are No Dumb Questions About Money.
This latest book from Liz is actually a collection of some of her Q&A columns. If you have a question about how to manage money more effectively, chances are that you can find the answer in this book.
Preparing for Life Events
There Are No Dumb Questions About Money starts with the basics, and then follows probable life events. Liz has organized this resource in a way that makes sense, and helps you tackle your questions one personal finance topic at a time. She starts with setting financial priorities, and then moves on to talk about defeating debt and building your credit.
I also like how she includes some of her best Q&A columns on questions dealing with relationships and money. It's important to remember that relationships affect money — and that money affects relationships. Liz includes a chapter on couples and money, as well as a helpful chapter on other family money issues, from handouts for adult children to resolving inheritance issues between siblings.
Other topics covered by No Dumb Questions include investing for retirement, protecting your assets with insurance, reducing the chances of identity theft, buying a home, paying for college, finding a trustworthy money manager, and the basics of estate planning. Nearly every major decision you are likely to encounter in your life is represented in this book.
As always, Liz's advice is delivered in a straightforward, engaging manner. Her answers are practical and achievable. Not only do you gain valuable advice, but you also learn the "why" behind the suggestions, as well as the "how" when it comes to actually applying what you have learned.
Lay a Solid Financial Foundation
While this book may not answer all of your questions about the more complex aspects of finances, it is a great resource for laying a solid financial foundation, and getting a good start. If you are looking for straightforward advice and help, There Are No Dumb Questions About Money can help you get on the right track with your finances.
The book is designed to help you get on the right track with your money, from starting out be establishing what you want your money to do for you, to executing the plans you have to make the most of your finances.
If you are looking for practical advice to help you manage your money — and then find someone reliable to help you when things get too complicated — Liz Pulliam Weston's latest book is a valuable resource.{ 1 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

This Postal stamp is to commemorate the first ascent of Mount Everest by a Lebanese National.
It was proposed by the President of the Lebanese Republic, and was voted for unanimously by the council of Ministers in June 2006, shortly after Maxime�s return from the Mountain.
It is rectangular, and measures 11cm by 16cm.
Inside, lies another detachable stamp measuring 4cm by 5cm with Lebanon printed alongside the value of LBP3000.
The photos chosen were both taken on the summit of the Planet by Maxime�s camera with his climbing partner, Tibetan Sherpa Dorjee, releasing the shutter. It was at 6:25AM, shortly after sunrise, on Monday May 15th, 2006. Maxime considers this as his true birthdate�
None of the two photos shows Maxime�s face. Maxime himself insisted that this be so.
The title of the stamp is written in French and Arabic, and reads as follows:
�Maxime Chaya raises the Lebanese flag on the summit of Mount Everest. 15 May 2006.�
It was printed to 20,000 copies at Chemaly & Chemaly Printing Press under the strict supervision of the Lebanese authorities.
It was released for the public on July 2nd, 2007 for a philatelic period of 6 months during which anyone is able to buy it from any LibanPost office for its face value of LBP3000.
The stamp will be legal tender for all envelopes and parcels as of January 2nd, 2008.

I'm afraid I can't give you any specific motherboard types or part numbers,
but if you want a consumergrade AMD processor, you need socket AM2 - this
will support the new Phenoms as well as the common Athlon64s. If on the
other hand you want something more enterprise-worthy, you need socket F1207
- this supports the 2nd and 3rd generation of Opteron processors; the first
generation of Opterons uses socket 939 for the 1xx series and socket 940
for the 2xx and 8xx series.
If you go for an Opteron solution, the second and third generations use four
digits as the typenumbers, while the first generation uses three digits.
In each case, if the first digit is a "1", then it's a processor for
single-socket motherboards. If the first digit is a "2", then it's a
processor for twin-socket motherboards. If it is an "8", it's a processor
for four- to eight-socket motherboards.
I'm personally kinda partial to the nForce chipset - my Opteron machine uses
the nForce Professional variant. However, now that AMD owns ATi, their
chipsets will probably be very good as well, especially in the department
of FOSS driver support - well, AMD has always had good chipsets, but never
for the consumergrade range, so that has changed now.
Lastly, if you want brandnames, Asus, MSI, Tyan, SuperMicro and Iwill all
have excellent motherboards. Last time I checked - a few months ago - Tyan
still offers socket 939 and socket 940 motherboards, so they will probably
less expensive than the socket AM2 or socket F1207 boards.
Hope this was useful... ;-)

Former Cardinal Tamara Bowie Signs With The Minnesota Lynx
MUNCIE, Ind. Former Ball State women's basketball standout Tamara Bowie has signed a free agent contract with the Minnesota Lynx of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). The Lynx are set to open their 10th season in the WNBA May 18, 2008 against the Detroit Shock.
Bowie, a native of Lansing, Mich., starred for the Cardinals from 1999-2003. She is the Cardinals' all-time leading scorer at 2,091 career points, which ranks seventh all-time in Mid-American Conference history. She set the Ball State single-season scoring record with 618 points in the 2002-03 season and also owns the BSU single-game scoring record at 40 points on two different occasions.
Bowie was a two-time MAC Player of the Year recipient (2001-02 & 2002-03) becoming the only Cardinal to win the award multiple times. She was named Kodak/WBCA Honorable Mention All-America three times during her career as well as First Team All-Region three times.
She spent the 2007-08 season in Israel, playing with Hapoel Tel Aviv. She played in 13 of her team's 21 games last season and averaged 24.9 points and 12.5 rebounds per game. Bowie was originally drafted in the 2003 WNBA draft by the Washington Mystics with the 36th selection.

MARTINSBURG - Eighteen legislators are heading to North Dakota later this month to learn about the state's Legacy Fund and bring back their ideas for West Virginia's potential longterm savings.
Among them will be Delegate Jason Barrett, D-Berkeley, who said he is interested in striking a balance between the state's immediate issues while looking toward its future.
The work group has been set up to study the potential of a future fund for West Virginia - a permanent endowment fund that will grow over the course of several years by way of natural gas severance tax contributions.
North Dakota implemented its Legacy Fund in 2011, and it has already grown to $1 billion with 30 percent of its oil and gas tax revenue contributing. Legislators there have designed it so they are not to touch the account until 2017 - and even then, it will take a two-thirds vote to spend it.
"What I want to talk to them about is what kind of return are they getting? Where are they investing the money?" Barrett said. "If we do this in West Virginia, how do we get the best return?"
It's not clear as of yet how West Virginia would use its future fund.
Barrett said his main concern, should legislation be passed creating the fund, would be setting it up properly.
"I'm not totally committed to one idea," Barrett said.
The junior delegate said he believes making the trip is integral for truly understanding the impact North Dakota's future fund has had.
"It's just that one conversation as opposed to having all 18 of us in a room, or more, and then having all those folks in a room," Barrett said. "There's something to be said for a face-to-face conversation."
Barrett said the trip is funded solely by the state of West Virginia.
There are no outside lobbyists contributing funds, and while he is unsure the cost of the trip, Barrett said the group's hotel rooms cost $77 per night.
According to a recent report by the Associated Press, Senate President Jeff Kessler estimated the total cost at about $1,000 per legislator.
"This is an important trip, and it could have a tremendous impact on the future of West Virginia," Barrett said. "We're not out there to be on vacation."
While past attempts to create such a fund in West Virginia have failed, Barrett said he believes the time is nearly right for it to be readdressed during the next legislative session.
"I think we're finally getting close to the point where it can be implemented," Barrett said. "Our job is to look at the information, bring it back, discuss it with our colleagues. Figure out how to implement it. Figure out a time frame. What percentage of the severance tax would be. There's still a lot of work to be done."
When thinking about the overall vision of West Virginia, Barrett said a healthy business climate is most important in keeping people from leaving the state - it's biggest problem. The future fund can aid in that, Barrett said.
"When the state has a huge rainy day fund like we have and a credit rating like we have, and then if we implement the future fund, we will show businesses across the country West Virginia is in sound financial position," Barrett said. "That tells businesses, there's no reason for the state to raise your business taxes."

2006 Film and History League Conference
"The Documentary Tradition" Dallas 8-12 November, 2006
AREA: Industrial/Corporate/Educational Film
Industrial/corporate/educational films, a category of non-fiction film, have been a marginalized area of film study. Industrial/corporate/educational films are viewed by thousands in schools, in corporations and in sales meetings, yet the film companies, the filmmakers and the films themselves receive little attention. This area seeks to explore the industrial/corporate/educational film companies, the filmmakers and the films.
How do industrial/corporate/educational films compare with documentary films? How have changes in technology influenced the film style of industrial/educational films? What are the aesthetics of industrial/corporate/educational film?
How do industrial/educational films depict the social mores of society and document the cultural and social milieu of an era? How have industrial/corporate/ educational films impacted our society?
In addition to these issues, topics may include histories of industrial or educational film companies. Submissions on all aspects of industrial/corporate/educational film are welcome. Send a one-page proposal, brief bio and AV needs by July 20, 2006.
Send all inquires and proposals to: Dr. Faye Riley, University of Kansas, firstname.lastname@example.com
The conference is scheduled for Fall of 2006 and will focus on
"The Documentary Tradition." We are looking for energetic people to
serve as Area Chairs. Check out the evolving list at http://www.filmandhistory.org/
Exact dates: 8-12 November, 2006 in Dallas. (Same site as last conference.)
Deadline for proposals is 15 August. See posted Area Chairs and Registration page.
Guest filmmakers: D.A. Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus, makers of THE WAR ROOM (1993), the fascinating study of the 1992 Bill Clinton presidential campaign.

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Adapting to Evolving Business Environments Is...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Protein kinases drive many critical cellular events including proliferation, metabolism, apoptosis, and differentiation. They catalyze the transfer of the terminal phosphate from ATP to tyrosine, serine, or threonine residues of the kinase itself or another protein substrate. Therapeutic inhibition of protein kinases has revolutionized the treatment of certain cancers.
New inhibitors are also targeting a host of other conditions from atherosclerosis to neurodegenerative diseases. Although the first FDA-approved drug was an antibody that targets the extracellular domain of the epidermal growth factor receptor (1998, Herceptin®/Genentech), several small molecule kinase inhibitors are now in clinical use with many more in the pipeline. The field continues to experience expansive growth. The global market for kinase inhibitors is expected to reach $20.2 billion by 2014.
Recent conferences—Informa's Protein Kinases Congress and GTC's conference on "Protein Kinases in Drug Discovery"—highlighted new developments in the field that include novel paradigms for drug development, improved inhibitor profiling and selectivity strategies, and expanding targets (e.g., Alzheimer disease and traumatic brain injury).
Protein kinases have both active and inactive states. While the structure of the active state is well studied across the kinome, this is not the case for the inactive state. Kinases employ diverse mechanisms to control their activation with a variety of structurally different conformations. "These differences may be exploitable for structure-guided drug design," indicated Mark A. Ashwell, Ph.D., vp of chemistry at ArQule.
"The current thinking in the field is to develop a new kinase inhibitor paradigm that will combine a better understanding of structure and function and a knowledge-driven design approach. The understanding in the field is growing and it has taken some time to distill, especially how knowledge of the plasticity of kinases can be translated into improved inhibitor design. We are making strides to develop in silico processes for the design of inhibitors that take advantage of changes that take place upon activation."
Dr. Ashwell and his team are targeting the inactive state of kinases. "This approach mimics nature's own mechanism for inhibiting kinase activity and maintains the kinase in a state where it isn't competing for the abundant ATP.
"We performed structural and functional studies on inhibitors of the c-Met receptor tyrosine kinase that is implicated in several cancers. We co-crystallized our small molecule inhibitor, tivantinib (ARQ 197), with inactive c-Met and found a conformation that is distinct from published kinase structures. Our structural analysis showed a cleft lined with nonpolar amino acids that were organized into clusters upon ARQ 197 binding."
Dr. Ashwell explained that the information they derived from these studies allowed them to generalize to a hypothetical model of other protein kinases.
"We selected the fibroblast growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase family. Utilizing structural information, we identified inhibitor candidates for optimization in a commercial chemical library. Next, we performed biophysical, biochemical, and cell-based assays as well as x-ray co-crystallography. Our results validated the initial hypothesis that nonconserved hydrophobic residues present in the inactive state participated in nonpolar interactions with these novel inhibitors.
"We believe that as we are better able to understand the structure and function of kinases, we can successfully exploit a powerful and new chemical space for inhibitor designs."
Clinical success for kinase inhibitors has been demonstrated in oncology. However, chronic neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., stroke, Alzheimer disease, multiple sclerosis) represent a large unmet need in the population, said Marcie A. Glicksman, Ph.D., co-director, Laboratory for Drug Discovery in Neurodegeneration (LDDN), Harvard NeuroDiscovery Center.
"For most neurodegenerative diseases, there is no significant disease-modifying agent available on the market. To develop candidates, one not only faces the typical challenges for developing kinase inhibitors (selectivity, efficacy, etc.), but also other issues. For example, in Alzheimer disease, animal models may not replicate key features of the human disease. Also, potential biomarkers have recently been identified but still have to be correlated to disease."
While only one kinase inhibitor targeting neurodegenerative disorders has reached the clinic to date, vast efforts to sift through relevant pathways and identify inhibitors of kinases thought to be involved in these diseases are under way. Get the details here.
The LDDN has established a collaborative model for drug discovery that works with academic laboratories in the U.S. and worldwide to create and then license out leads. "We have a library of 150,000 compounds utilized by biologists and chemists who subsequently work on optimizing candidates identified from high-throughput screening. We also have imaging capabilities and the ability to test in animal models."
This approach is gaining in popularity, Dr. Glicksman noted. "There is a real need to work on more challenging diseases in academic settings. We can take the time to solve issues and take bigger risks whereas big pharma cannot. Academic institutional research has better opportunities for receiving funding for projects with large translational value. Once academic institutions solve some of these challenging issues, we can then work with big pharma to take the next steps."
The NeuroDiscovery Center has developed lead candidates for multiple kinase targets. One target is the erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular carcinoma receptor that is involved in cell-signaling pathways in discrete areas of the brain. All members of the family have an intracellular tyrosine kinase domain. Inhibitors could be used to modulate cerebral ischemia and traumatic brain injury.

Qunitin Berry connects. — Dan Graschuck photos
Tigers Ouintin Berry had to take a circuitous route to earning a spot in Major League Baseball (MLB).
At the age of 27, spending seven years and over 700 games in the minor leagues, and bouncing around four organizations the previous two years, one would think that a player like Berry would find himself in a pressurized situation when the Tigers finally came calling after injuries to centerfielder Austin Jackson.
"I never got discouraged," Berry told me in a one-on-one interview, "but I thought about my situation a lot. I always felt that I could help a team and I never understood why no one really gave me a real chance to make a roster.
"That is why I did not let the pressure of the situation get to me because in the past years I have been through it all. Getting released, being at the end of a roster after spring training, and being in the minors with franchises that have people at my position already."
Berry said when he finally got the opportunity with the Tigers he told himself to relax, enjoy it and play his game. He also noted that he is not surprised that he has managed to be productive thus far.
"I always knew what I was capable of doing," he said. "It's just that everywhere I've been people for some reason downplayed my hitting because I was labeled as a speed guy. But I can hit a little bit. I'm not a Punch-and-Judy guy. I come to the plate with a plan, I study the pitchers and I can get the ball in play depending on the situation."
Said manager Jim Leyland: "Quintin has been a pleasant surprise; he has been fantastic. I think he is a great story coming from his background. I love guys like him that have fought through things and hung in there to be where they are. We knew he stole bases in the minors, but that is different that the big leagues.. Yet he has done it and has been a shot in the arm to this team that is fighting to get in the playoffs."
In fact, Berry had stolen over 50 bases twice in the minors and over 40 twice. He has hit around .270 and was ready for the opportunity the Tigers presented to him.
As a Tiger, Berry is hitting around .280, stolen 14 bases without being thrown out, has had a walk off hit versus MLB champion St. Louis and had a five-hit game.
"Q has taken advantage of his opportunity and the team is better because of him," said Prince Fielder. "When Jackson went down he stepped in and did the job for us at a crucial point in the season. It was unfortunate for Jackson, but a blessing for Berry.
Added infielder Ramon Santiago: "Berry has brought energy, clutch hits and speed to this team. People talk about his speed, but he played for MLB Hall of Famer Tony Gywnn, so he has been taught how to hit."
Said catcher Alex Avila: "Berry brings a dimension to the team that we needed. When we have Jackson and Berry at the top of the lineup it changes the way pitcher have to pitch to the three, four and five hitters. I'll tell you, I played against him in the minor leagues and we never got him out and I never threw him out."
Berry may be turning heads in MLB, but he continues to divert all the credit.
"Because I bat in front of Miguel (Cabrera) and Fielder, pitchers look at me and say they are going to pitch to me. Why not! If Jackson and I get on base they have to pitch to Cabrera of Fielder, so they try to pitch to me in hopes I can't handle it."
Berry has more than handled his opportunity in the midst of a team fighting for a playoff berth.

Master of Public Health (M.P.H.)
The Master of Public Health (M.P.H.) degree program is designed for the health professional who wishes to pursue a public health degree. This generalized degree provides an opportunity to expand one's knowledge base and broaden perspectives, develop an epidemiological orientation to public health problems, and improve methodological and quantitative skills.
M.P.H. applicants must have earned an advanced professional degree (M.D., D.V.M., D.D.S., D.O.), have completed a master's or doctoral degree in a health-related field, or have considerable experience in a health-related field.
The degree program can be completed in three academic semesters of full-time study and a 10-week practice experience, although many students choose to spread the program over two years. In addition to the five public health core courses, the M.P.H. student completes a core of three epidemiology courses, electives, a practice experience, and a culminating experience of an M.P.H. project or capstone course. A minimum of 42 credits is required.

Session 2 - Everything Else.
Display session, Friday, June 27
Ballroom C, Chair: Richard Canfield
The dissipation of magnetic tube waves may be the primary source of energy in the thermal balance of the solar chromosphere and corona. In this paper, I compute an upper limit on the energy flux of tube waves that can be driven into the chromosphere if the waves are excited by buffeting of magnetic flux tubes by p--modes. In addition, I estimate the p--mode line widths which result from this transfer of energy from the modes to the flux tube waves. To obtain the upper limit, I assume that the solar magnetic field has a fibril structure consisting of a large set of well--separated, identical tubes. Each tube is axisymmetric, vertical and slender. I approximate the solar atmosphere with a truncated isentropic polytrope, chosen such that it's upper surface matches the \tau_5000=1 layer of the photospheric model of Maltby (1986). The response of the fibrils is described using the thin flux tube approximation, ignoring multiple scattering between the tubes, and assuming that the p--modes force the tubes incoherently. The effects of the region above the surface of the polytrope, where a flaring flux tube is poorly represented by the thin flux equations, are simulated through a boundary condition applied at the polytrope's surface. By varying this boundary condition the influence of any upper atmosphere can be reproduced. To compute an upper limit, I chose the boundary condition which optimizes the upward flux of waves. I find that the largest flux of tube waves that can be sent into chromosphere is 29 ergs cm^-2 s^-1 for a fibril field with a 1% filling factor. This flux is miniscule when compared to the energy flux necessary to heat the chromosphere or corona. Therefore, tube waves generated by the buffeting of magnetic fibrils by acoustic waves are inconsequential in the energy balance of the upper atmosphere. Furthermore, using the same boundary conditions, I find that the line width of a p--mode due to the absorption of that mode by the fibrils can be a significant fraction of the observed line widths

1952 Ty Cobb Signed Check - Gambling Related
Starting Bid - $200, Sold For - $940
Bank check, dated 8/12/52, signed by Hall of Fame outfielder Ty Cobb. The check, drawn on the First National Bank of Nevada, is made out to "Cash" in the amount of $6,000 and is signed "Tyrus R. Cobb" in black ink (grading "10"). Interestingly, the stamped endorsement on the reverse reads "Harolds Club." Harolds Club, located in Reno, was one of the first major casinos in Nevada and also one of the most popular. Cobb had a retirement home in Lake Tahoe and was probably a frequent visitor to the club. In terms of monetary value, this is the largest Cobb check we have ever seen, and perhaps indicates that Cobb didn't have much luck at the gaming tables on that day. Though Cobb is not widely associated with gambling, he was involved in a major gambling scandal, along with Tris Speaker, in 1926-1927 that for the most part was swept under the rug. This check may be evidence of Cobb's gambling in later years. In researching this check, we were certainly surprised to find that the recipient, "Harolds Club," was a casino. The check (8.25 x 3.25 inches) has normal bank cancellation stamps and perforations, as well as two small unobtrusive printed notations on the front. In Excellent to Mint condition. LOA from James Spence/JSA. Reserve $200. Estimate $400/$800. SOLD FOR $940

This is the week we celebrate the best of summer, with the Fourth of July. Some 236 years ago, an assembly of extraordinarily courageous visionaries challenged the most powerful military force on the Atlantic Ocean by declaring independence from the monarchy of Great Britain.
The nation they established was unlike any other at that time, a Constitutional Democratic Republic based upon personal liberty. This nation would create a standard of living beyond anything the world had ever seen, by fostering the potential of each citizen to apply individual talents and efforts. Competition for productivity and excellence combined with a sense of public cooperation to set a standard that much of the world would follow.
We can see this phenomenon in action this week at the 166th annual Trumbull County Fair. If you have been to this fair last year, or many years ago, you will be surprised at the changes that have been made to make this year's fair noticeably different and better than any you have seen. The grandstand shows, rides and food will still be there, along with even more attractions for the entire family.
So much is on the schedule that there is not enough space in this column to mention. The 5,000-seat grandstand will be echoing with live bands, Northeast FASTRAK late models and e-modes, modified and pure stock auto racing, truck and tractor pulls, a metal-crunching demolition derby, Chases' Racing Pigs, and the Broken Horn Rodeo with bull riding, broncos, barrel race, steer wrestling, and team roping.
Talented young people from our communities will be contending for honors with the Miss Trumbull County Fair Pageant, Junior Fair Trumbull Idol Finalist Competition, spelling bee and displays of agricultural skills and accomplishments. The Junior Fair Board is credited for so many of this year's attractions, with their ''very active and very needed'' participation by Fair Board President Tom Sawyer.
At 72 years young, with more than three decades of service to our county fair, Sawyer exemplifies the enthusiasm and dedicated commitment of the 16-member Fair Board. ''Working Board'' best describes this group, whose members can be found at the fairgrounds before, during and after fair week.
Recent improvements have been completed to the buildings and drainage to keep the parking lots, driveways and midway free of mud no matter what the weather may bring. Remember the old joke, ''If you want to stop a drought, just start the Trumbull County Fair.''
When I visited the fair office last week, there was a flurry of activity with board members and staff handling hundreds of details needed to provide an enjoyable and memorable experience for the thousands of people who are expected to enjoy the fair.
This year's theme is ''Farming Locally, Thinking Globally,'' with a greater emphasis on agriculture, which is the largest industry in Trumbull County. Antique and state-of-the-art farm equipment will be on display, with an animal zoo, prize livestock, a fully functioning milking parlor and demonstrations of an array of farming skills. With the growing awareness of backyard gardening and urban agriculture, it may be a good idea to learn from the experience of these professionals.
The TCTC Agricultural Education Building will have a new functioning wetland display prepared by the Trumbull Soil & Water Conservation District. This building is always filled with fascinating displays and activities provided by the Farm Bureau, Trumbull Metro Parks, and Army Corps of Engineers team from Mosquito Lake. Heather Merritt from the Birds in Flight Sanctuary will introduce some rescued birds of prey, including raptors, owls, and hawks. Children's activities are planned every day to provide fun and learning about the natural world, including frogs, bats and dragonflies.
All of this, and so much more, awaits you until Sunday, with the best entertainment value for miles around. So, will I see you at the Trumbull County Fair this week?
Pirko is a Weathersfield resident. Contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Despite recommendations in the literature to perform conservative fat resection in lower blepharoplasty, patients are still seen postoperatively with tear trough deformities that can give a "tired" appearance. In these patients, the loss of orbital fat results in loss of support for the globe and a prominent infraorbital rim.1 Revision blepharoplasty is complex, since autologous fat is not available for repositioning in the lower eyelids.
Figure 1. Lower blepharoplasty with acellular dermal graft. A skin-muscle flap is developed, staying superficial to the orbital septum. An acellular dermal graft is trimmed to fill the hollowing and placed superficial to the septum. The orbicularis oculi is trimmed, the skin muscle flap is trimmed, and the orbicularis oculi is resuspended to the inner periosteum of the lateral orbital rim.

CLEMSON — South Carolina is ranked No. 10, and Clemson appeared at the No. 11 spot in ESPN's self-labeled "Way Too Early" preseason rankings, which were released Monday.
Defending national champion Alabama was ranked No. 1.
While the ACC has been criticized for its lack of elite teams in recent years, Clemson will play a championship-worthy schedule in 2013.
Clemson's season-opener is against ESPN's No. 6 team in Georgia. Clemson also has No. 16 Florida State on its schedule in addition to rival South Carolina.
Writes ESPN of Clemson's 2013 outlook: "With quarterback Tajh Boyd and receiver Sammy Watkins coming back to run offensive coordinator Chad Morris' spread offense, the Tigers are the team to beat in the ACC in 2013.
"But unless their defense improves dramatically, they might not be much of a factor in the BCS title race."
South Carolina is coming off its second straight 11-win season and returns the most talented player in the country in defensive end Jadeveon Clowney and a talented veteran quarterback in Connor Shaw.
The Gamecocks will play at Georgia and host ESPN's No. 7 team, Florida.
ESPN's early take on South Carolina: "South Carolina will have to replace seven starters on defense, but star defensive end Jadeveon Clowney is coming back and might emerge as a top Heisman Trophy candidate in 2013. The Gamecocks will have to replace three starting linebackers and two starting defensive backs, so the defense will get a lot of attention during spring practice. ... Running back David Williams of Philadelphia was one of South Carolina's top signees, and he might be asked to step in right away after injured tailback Marcus Lattimore left early for the NFL draft."

How to Move Your CD Ladder
|Email Print
After learning about Ally Bank's most recent 0.25% CD renewal bonus, I decided I wanted to move my CD ladder from ING Direct to Ally Bank. Ally Bank offers some of the best CD rates and with ING Direct lagging behind, I'm almost compelled to move the funds even without the renewal bonus.
As I thought about the move some more, I had a few more options than I realized. It seems simple enough to move a CD ladder from bank to another but there are a lot of ways you can do it.
How to Move Your CD Ladder
The easiest way to move your CD ladder is to move a "rung" once the CD has matured. As each rung matures, you transfer your funds to the new bank and purchase a new one-year certificate of deposit. It will take you a full year for you to move your CD ladder from one bank to another and it requires that you be diligently moving your money each month. To make sure you don't automatically renew, be sure to set your CDs to deposit funds into your account on maturity.
If you have extra savings and the new bank offers a lot of under-one year CDs, you could get a head start on your savings. You could deposit funds into smaller 9-month, 6-month, and 3-month CDs so that you can fill up your CD ladder a little faster. As the smaller CDs mature, you can use the proceeds from your old CD ladder to boost them up to their normal amounts.
Closing a CD Early
If the CD rates differ greatly, you may want to consider closing a CD early. In general, a CD with an original maturity period of one year or more will penalize you six months of interest. A CD with an original maturity period of less than one year will penalize you for three months of interest. In the very rare case of Ally Bank, the penalty is only 60-days regardless of the CD's original maturity period (see page 3 of their Deposit Agreement, effective March 31, 2010) . You will have to do some math to determine if this makes sense. Unless the rates differ greatly, this is generally not recommended.
Recent CD Renewals
Lastly, if you recently renewed a CD, you may be able to close the CD without penalty. Many banks offer a 7- to 10-day grace period on recently renewed CDs. This is so that you can reverse a renewal if you change your mind or forgot the CD was maturing. If you fall within this grace period and intend to move a CD, call up the bank and cancel the renewal.
In our case, we opted to go with the simplest rung by rung move because sub-one year CD rates at Ally Bank are only above a quarter of a percent higher. It doesn't make sense to close a CD and, given the hassle, not worth setting up a more complicated system than a rung by rung move. I simply shut off automatic renewal on my ING Direct CDs and set a monthly reminder to move the funds.
Have you moved a CD ladder recently? Was there a consideration or option that I missed?

Are we afraid of our Black youth?
caines | 10/25/2012, 5:30 a.m.
Experts point to rise in truancy, fewer mentors as reasons for rise in crime Part II Its an obvious fact here in Miami-Dade County that young Blacks are finding themselves at the crossroads of life with far too many taking the path filled with heartache, frustration, the juvenile justice system and even death. But the seminal question that continues to plague parents, politicians and preachers alike is what can we do to stem the tide? In the first part of this two-part series [Oct. 10-16, 2012], we invited community leaders to discuss potential solutions to reducing what has become a disturbing rise in violence among Black youth. Here we continue that discussion, then turn to those involved in combatting crime including the Miami-Dade State Attorney and spokespersons for both City and County police.
Boys need male mentors
Marc Henderson, 63. vice president of operations for 100 Black Men of South Florida has long been involved in mentoring Black youth, given his 22 years with the organization. He says there are many reasons why young Black youth are becoming drawn to lives of crime. But he believes the lack of positive males in their lives, especially for boys, is a major problem. There comes a time in a childs life where they need a mans influence, he said. That applies to both both boys and girls. Women have been raising children alone for centuries but they cant be both mom and dad. Without role models and without wholesome activities, our kids fertile minds are ripe for the wrong kinds of things. Then there are economic factors. Unemployment for Black youth 16- to 19-years-old is 36.7 percent double the national average for Black men over 20 [14.2 percent and six-times greater than the rate for white men over 20 [6.6 percent]. Our kids need the church to become more involved and they need more discipline. Most of all they need role models. NBA great Charles Barkley once argued that he should not be considered a role model for our youth but I disagree. These are young minds were talking about. The 100 Black Men believe that if we give kids positive enforcement and let them see us doing positive things, they will follow our lead. But leaders need to be humble. Like that picture of Barack Obama bending down so a little boy could touch his hair to see if theirs was the same thats the image we need to perpetuate on a daily basis.
Truancy: An early indicator of future troubles
In an article written by James D. Rowell for Police Magazine, the author interviews hard-core gang members that have been in and out of prison. He detects a pattern that confirms what law enforcement officials have been saying for many years: gangs grow because the gangs provide kids with basic human needs including security, love, friendship, acceptance, food, shelter, discipline, belonging, status, respect, identification, power and money. Here in Miami-Dade County, three Black teens, Willie Barney, 19, Dedrick Brown, 20 and Tavares Santiago, also 20, while not officially identified as gang members, recently joined forces on a violent and deadly crime spree that eventually led to the shooting death of one of their victims, 50-year-old Barrington Kurr killed in front of his wife for his jewelry [the wife was also shot but survived]. According to State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle, the trio is now in police custody facing a number of charges, including one count of first-degree murder, two counts of attempted murder and six counts of armed robbery with a firearm. The investigation is ongoing. When you look at the youngest of the trio, Brown, 19, he was the one carrying the gun and had just been released from prison, she said. To our knowledge hes been committing crimes since at least 16 when he was first arrested. But nothing seemed to help him not juvenile for youth programs, boot camp or state prison. Our information tells us he had only been out of prison for eight days before he began committing more crimes. What we desperately are trying to understand is why and how some children become killing machines. Rundle says she has been involved with at least three grand jury studies, reviewing school records and family histories as potential indicators of those who may eventually commit crimes. Based on my experiences and the studies Ive seen, close to 85 percent of kids that get into legal trouble had been truant with little or nothing ever being done about it, she said. Our office once had a great deterrent to crime the Truancy Intervention Program [TIP] we operated for 10 years until 2004. Then the State cut the funding. There are plenty of prison beds for these kids but programs that intervene early in their lives. Why are more willing to wait until they get into trouble than helping them and their families when they are much younger with issues that can be resolved? Lieutenant Bernard Johnson, deputy commander community relations, City of Miami Police Department agrees. We attribute a lot of juvenile crimes to truancy and note that more and more youth are neither attending school regularly nor are they involved in any kind of after school programs, he said. When you play sports or are in an arts-related program, there tends to be a grade point minimum requirement, there are assigned supervisors and parents get updates on whats happening. But for those who skip classes regularly, there are ample opportunities for them to get bed led into vandalism, loitering and drugs. Fights often occur because truant youth go to rival schools or to lower grade schools. Is Johnson optimistic? He answers no. We had a grant that helped up do truancy sweeps and educate youth so they understood the potential risks they faced, he said. The grant also helped us better monitor truant youth. But that money has been reduced the past two years. And we expect further cuts. Its tough to keep an eye on every child. By D. Kevin email@example.com

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama - In the 1920s, dozens of African-American baseball teams barnstormed across the country or played in the Negro leagues with talent and stars that many say rivaled those of Major League Baseball.
But after Jackie Robinson broke the major league color line in 1947, the Negro leagues teams slowly died as the major leagues were integrated.
The "pride and passion" of the black players determined to play baseball despite the many obstacles they faced is now on display at the Huntsville-Madison County Public Library.
The traveling exhibit "Pride and Passion: The African American Baseball Experience" opened at the library Saturday and will remain through April 29.
Former Negro leagues players and Huntsville residents Eugene Scruggs and Carl Holden were featured guests at a kickoff event Saturday afternoon at Optimist Park.
Scruggs and Holden recalled how they migrated from Huntsville to the Negro leagues and their experiences traveling the country playing the game they loved.
"My life got into a real bad spin going from the cotton fields to the baseball field," Scruggs told the small crowd gathered at Optimist Park.
Scruggs, a pitcher in the Negro leagues from 1955-57, said he "got hammered in the first inning" in a game at Optimist Park because he was trying to impress the crowd from his hometown.
Holden, who played one year in the Negro leagues and several years with local teams, said Optimist Park is among the oldest existing baseball parks in the country.
"I look at this park now and it's vastly improved from when we played," he said.
Scruggs said about 400 former Negro leagues players attended a 1995 reunion in Kansas City, but that probably fewer than 100 players would attend a reunion today.
Baseball, however, has seemed to lose its allure to young blacks who choose to play football or basketball.
Hundreds of blacks were determined to play baseball during segregation a few decades ago, but last year only 9 percent of the players in the major leagues were black.
"I hate to see it happen that way," Scruggs said after Saturday's event.
Emerson Brooks, an eighth-grader at Madison Academy who attended Saturday's event at Optimist Park, is a pitcher and center fielder on the school's eighth-grade team. He is the only black out of about 40 players in the school's baseball program.
Brooks, who also plays football and basketball at the school, said he plans to continue playing baseball.
"I started it when I was young and havealways liked it," he said.

Garden Club holding poinsettia, wreath sale
CROWLEY - If you think the Crowley Garden Club takes a break in the winter, think again. As the holidays approach, members of the Crowley Garden Club are busy taking pre-orders for fresh balsam wreaths, swags, garland, poinsettias, flowering Amaryllis and Paperwhite plants and all for a good cause.
"We are very excited about hosing this event because all the proceeds go toward the Garden Clubs Civic Beautification Projects that help our community," said Nancy Broadhurst, Garden Club president and fundraising chair. "We have received many wonderful comments about how nice the planters for the Downtown Streetscape purchased by our club look and now we are trying to raise funds for other civic beautification projects like trash receptacles and the beautification of the Blue Star Memorial Marker donated by the Garden Club placed at the entrance into the City on Parkerson Avenue and Hwy 13 to honor our service men and women. There is much more work to be done so the support we receive from this event is truly is a gift that gives back. It really causes everyone that makes a purchase feel that they are a part of being involved in helping build a better quality of life for our city," stated Broadhurst. And that's a good feeling particularly during this season of giving." "
Garden Club members are taking pre-orders now through November 12 at city hall from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Parkerson Avenue and customers may pick up their orders November 29 through December 2 at city hall from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m..
The wreaths are 25 inches and made of fragrant balsam fir and the swags are 24 inches long and made with balsam fir and a touch of cedar and pine. Both come decorated with white-tipped pine cones, red holly berries and a gorgeous red velvet waterproof bow. The poinsettia's are healthy and huge and are grown in a six-inch pot and measure approximately 15 inches tall by 15 inches across. They will be 22 weeks old upon delivery and are available in four colors red, white, pink and marble. Additionally, many past customers have asked us to provide Amaryllis and Paperwhite plants so we have added them in limited supply this year. The Amaryllis and Paperwhites come planted in a decorative pot and last two to three months and after flowering they can be planted in the garden or kept in the pot to re-bloom.
"This is a wonderful way for businesses and individuals to decorate at home, the office or purchase as gifts for teachers, employees, business clients/colleagues, corporate gifts, friends, parents or relatives while helping to support a great cause for our community," Broadhurst added.
In addition, members of the Garden Club help to decorate city hall, during the holidays under the direction of Garden Club member, Keisha Rue. In 2009, the Crowley Garden Club began the tradition of decorating the Christmas trees at city hall right after Thanksgiving.
For more information about the Crowley Garden Club Holiday Wreath and Plant Sale, or to place an order now please contact Nancy Broadhurst at either 504-909-1990 or 783-2811 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com or Karen Skelton at 337-581-8034.

Heloise: A few hints to clean ivory
Dear Readers: How many of you have ivory jewelry, chess pieces, figurines or piano keys and don't have a clue how to clean them? We looked at several sources in researching how to care for ivory, and here are a few hints:
Dr. Gott: Many factors might lead to balance disorder
Dear Dr. Gott: I have been having balance problems for almost a year. I've seen an ear doctor for possible vertigo, a cardiologist for possible heart/circulation problems and a general practitioner with my concerns. I have to hold on to the wall to turn around when I take a shower and always feel pressure at the base of my neck. I tend to feel off-balance even when walking. I have no other sensation when I'm sitting, and I sleep quite well.
Dear Abby: College neatnik sacrifices fun for cleaning
Dear Abby: I have been overly neat since I was in middle school. I am now in college and feel I have reached the breaking point because I'm such a neat freak. I love having everything neat and tidy, but I now spend less time being a 22-year-old and more time cleaning, scrubbing and organizing.
Heloise: Ammonia removes fuel odor
Dear Heloise: I purchased a nice pair of slacks and wore them to an event where buses were loading and unloading. Unfortunately, my slacks were long, and the hem got soaked with fuel that was on the ground. My slacks now smell like fuel.
Dear Abby: The good and bad of 'cleaning your plate'
Dear Abby: "Milwaukee Grandma" (Feb. 16) was "appalled to see the number of adults who forced their children to eat" in restaurants. "Grandma" is absolutely right. Children will eat when hungry and stop when they have had enough. The old saying, "Clean your plate" is contributing to the obesity epidemic. Children are born with the ability to self-regulate their food intake. Notice how many babies move their heads away from the bottle or breast when they are full.
Dr. Gott: Industry taken to task on insurance issues
Dear Dr. Gott: My husband and I are both self-employed. I won't even go into what has happened to our businesses these past few years. We are 56 and 57 years old.
