- Title
- Heuristic reflections on assessing creativity in the design disciplines
- Author(s)
- Friedman, Ken
- Abstract
- The challenge of understanding creativity is the core issue in the research project 'Assessing Creativity: Strategies and Tools to Support Teaching and Learning in Architecture and Design'. The project seeks to develop models for assessing creativity based on best practice in the design disciplines: architecture, design, interior design, and landscape. The first step in this project therefore involves understanding the nature of creativity itself, in order to appropriately assess it. This contribution is an 'essay' in the classical sense of the word defined by the Oxford English Dictionary: 'action or process of trying or testing', a 'composition of moderate length on [...] [a subject] more or less elaborate in style, though limited in range.' It is heuristic as well: an attempt at discovery. What I wish to discover---to disclose and examine---involves a range of issues that we do not often address in the design disciplines. Reporting the findings of a 2008 study on architectural education in Australasia (Ostwald & Williams 2008a, 2008b), Hedda Haugen Askland, Michael Ostwald and Anthony Williams (2010a) propose three major issues that impede the field: '[...] a lack of understanding of pedagogical dimensions of creativity in design; [...] no appropriate strategies to understand where different levels of creativity occur and how they should be assessed; and [...] a lack of appropriate models or tools to support assessment of creative works.' While these challenges are significant, many people in the design field seem to believe that architects and designers know intuitively what creativity is and how to measure it, as well as knowing how to elicit the best and most creative efforts of their students. When many designers and architects discuss creativity, they echo St. Augustine's (1961: 264) words on the subject of time: 'I know well enough what it is, provided that nobody asks me; but if I am asked what it is and try to explain, I am baffled.' Where Augustine admits his perplexity, however, those in design and architecture education who cannot explain creativity tend to ascribe their lack of words to tacit knowledge or to a form of internalised expertise that requires no explanation. More problematic, many in design and architecture demonstrate little interest in taking on board what experts in other fields have learned about creativity and mastery. Scholars such as David Durling, Nigel Cross and Jeffrey Johnson (Durling 1996; Durling, Cross & Johnson 1996) have examined creativity and learning styles, contributing much to our understandings of creativity and its assessment. A multi-disciplinary approach to creativity is vital to any robust approach to creativity assessment. Yet, design and architecture professionals continue to overlook many of these contributions on creativity, or simply assume that they already understand the nature of creativity. Those who appeal to such innate forms of knowledge occasionally argue that no useful research in creativity exists, and that we must therefore invent this wheel ourselves---as though a century of research (Kaufman & Sternberg 2010) in psychology, sociology, anthropology, and the human sciences did not exist. It is my hope that this ALTC project will shed light on the challenges we face. This essay offers a sideways look at the issues of creativity that are often ignored. While one occasionally finds these assertions in conference papers or doctoral theses, they are more common as background beliefs stated in tearoom conversation or discussion lists. For this reason, there is little point in citing sources for these assertions---rather, I intend to address the issues they represent.

Merry Hanukkha, Happy Christmas… and All That
The RSBS interns are off playing with their tax-payer purchased stocking stuffers (hookers presumably), the hot stove has cooled to a Holliday simmer (would ya just make up your friggin' mind) and sleigh bells are ring-ring-jinglin' like the fat pockets of China's national treasury…
So, my uber-nefarious colleague Mr. Krause and I would like to wish you and your loved ones a very happy holiday — whatever that means to you.
To me, it means once again pondering that age old question: Is the universe expanding? Or contracting?
Okay, so that's two questions.
In any case, it's beer thirty… for at least 48 hours in a row, so Al and I are gonna carpe diem by taking a couple days off. Hopefully when we get back we'll both have some great holiday stories to share that don't involve waking up with no shoes under an overpass five miles off the Vegas strip with 35 cents in my pocket, a raging headache, blurred vision and a My Little Pony tattoo on my inner thigh.
Jeff & Allen
14 Comments
Jeff and Allen, Happy Holidays to you two. Keep up the great blog. You always leave much to ponder. Thanks again for all your support last season. Judging from the way the Winter Meetings went, the Dodgers and I will need your support again.
I can always get you a pair of those Maddon glasses they gave out as a promotional gift a few years ago.
They maybe fake plastic knock-off, but you can tell people they are real Hugo Boss frames.
Merry Christmas my friend.
Hope the jokes keep rollin and the alcohol flowin'
Rays Renegade
Cat — while the McCourts work their problems out (or not), Al and I got ya covered.
RR — I think Al's are knock offs too. LOL.
Happy holidays!
As for me, I think the universe is contracting because it's expanding. The more connected we are, the closer we are, for better or for worse.
Al & Jeff.
Just dont lose kidneys while you are in Sin City.
Happy holidays to you two! Looking forward to more of your posts!
Prince — Yep… among other things.
Cici — I like your idea. You should run with that!
Emma — Haha. No Sin City THIS year. I learned my lesson well. Kept it close to my West-Central Illinois roots.
Hope you guys are having a great time. Take pics of that tattoo if you get one! Happy Holidays to you both.
all I saw was the word HOOKERS!!! Now I gotta go back and read it again to see what the rest was about. LOL
I hope you had a good holiday season.
go ahead, you know you want to say it…….. "LETS GO YANKEES!"
Now didn't that feel good?
Haha. Thanks, Jane. Back at ya!
And Mike… nah, I don't wanna say it. But Allen might! LOL.
Back at ya, BK & Vig!
–Jeff & Al

|Senator Vreenak
|Romulan Star Empire
Romulan Senate
|Deceased (2374)
|Played by:
|Stephen McHattie
Senator Vreenak was a key member of the Romulan Senate from 2360 to 2374. He was also the vice-chairman of the Tal Shiar, secretary of the War Plans Council, and one of Proconsul Neral's most trusted advisers. Vreenak is perhaps most well-known for negotiating the non-aggression pact between the Romulan Star Empire and the Dominion in late 2373. One of the most ardently pro-Dominion senators, Vreenak had very little faith in the Federation-Klingon alliance's chances against the Dominion.
In 2371, Vreenak was nominated by the Romulan Senate Council for the prestigious Praetor Colius Award, being the youngest nominee ever.
In 2374, Vreenak attended a high-level diplomatic meeting with Weyoun on Soukara. Captain Benjamin Sisko convinced him to make a secret detour to Deep Space 9, to view supposed evidence of a planned Dominion invasion of Romulan space. However, Vreenak discovered that the evidence had been forged, and headed back to Romulus threatening to expose the plot for all to see. En route, his shuttle exploded, a result of sabotage by Elim Garak that was intended to both eliminate the Senator as an adversary and provide a plausible explanation for any flaws in the forgery.
A subsequent investigation by the Tal Shiar uncovered the fabricated evidence, but its defects seemed to be a result of the explosion. The Romulans logically concluded that the Dominion had assassinated Vreenak to prevent him from returning to Romulus with the evidence, and joined the Dominion War on the side of the Federation and the Klingons. (DS9: "In the Pale Moonlight")
Memorable quotes Edit
"It's a faaaaake!"
- - Vreenak
"So you're the commander of Deep Space Nine. And the Emissary of the Prophets. Decorated combat officer, widower, father, mentor, and... oh, yes, the man who started the war with the Dominion. Somehow I thought you'd be taller..."
"Sorry to disappoint you."
"To be honest, my opinion of Starfleet officers is so low that you'd have to work very hard indeed to disappoint me."
- - Vreenak and Benjamin Sisko
"You are persistent, captain, I'll grant you that. But dogged determination isn't enough to change the reality of your situation. Time is definitely not on your side. The Dominion shipyards are working at one hundred percent capacity, yours are still being rebuilt. The Dominion is breeding legions of Jem'Hadar soldiers every day – you're experiencing a manpower shortage. But most important, the Dominion is resolved to win the war, at any cost."
- - Vreenak
The Lost Era novel Serpents Among the Ruins gives his first name as Merken, and indicate he was in public service around 2311, the year of the Tomed Incident. He is shown as one of the senior aides to the Romulan ambassador during negotiations leading to the Treaty of Algeron, and is a staunch Romulan nationalist and supporter of the novel's antagonist, Admiral Vokar.

Herbalife Circus: Expect More Entertainment (Update1)
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Let the games begin.
Just a month after their very public battle on CNBC, the fight between Carl Icahn and Bill Ackman just ratcheted up another level, with Icahn revealing he has close to a 13% stake in Herbalife (HLF) .
Icahn filed a 13D on Thursday , showing he has accumulated a stake in the multi-level marketing (MLM) company. The interesting part is that it's mostly in options, and the majority of it was accumulated this week, in anticipation of a deluge of regulatory filings.
In the filing, Icahn noted that Herbalife "has a legitimate business model, with favorable long-term opportunities for growth. The Reporting Persons
Ackman, through his Pershing Square Capital Management hedge fund, is short some 20 million shares of the company, which he called a fraud last year. Ackman has even gone so far as to set up a Web site devoted to his thesis on the company, factsaboutherbalife.com.
The short position caused Herbalife to respond last month, with executives calling the claims false. "The allegation that Herbalife is a pyramid scheme is bogus. Make no mistake: Today's announcement isn't about Herbalife's business model. It's about Bill Ackman's business model," the company said in a statement.
The Wall Street Journal reported last month that the Securities and Exchange Commission has opened an inquiry into Herbalife.
Herbalife CEO Michael O. Johnson has appeared repeatedly on CNBC to defend his firm, which he has described as a "legitimate company." Then there was this bizarre statement from Herbalife demanding a correction from the NY Post last month. It's become a circus, except now we have billionaires involved, instead of Barnum & Bailey.
This spat is clearly personal, boiling down to the fact that Icahn simply does not like Ackman, alleging that he reneged on a deal in the past. Since then, Icahn, 76, has clearly held a grudge against the 46-year-old hedge fund manager.
The battle on CNBC in January between Icahn and Ackman was one of the most entertaining segments on financial television in years -- maybe ever. Icahn cursed repeatedly, saying he was given permission to say "whatever the hell I wanna say." He even accused CNBC host Scott Wapner of trying to bully him.
The amazing thing about this story is that it doesn't stop at Icahn and Ackman. Dan Loeb, another hedge fund heavyweight, recently announced that he owns 9 million shares, or 8% of Herbalife.
In a letter to investors, Third Point's Loeb refuted Ackman's claims that Herbalife is a pyramid scheme. "The pyramid scheme is a serious accusation that we have studied closely with our advisors. We do not believe it has merit," Loeb wrote in the letter.

My baby girl was born at 31.5 weeks and is now 8 weeks old. In fact, today is her due date!
Anyhow, she was in the NICU for 5 weeks and was never given anything but my breastmilk, via gavauge or bottle. She was unable to latch on properly from the get go, so we have used the nipple shield. I am wanting to wean her off this because she does not get enough milk with the shield and my breasts aren't getting propper stimulation. The only problem - she will have nothing to do with my real nipple!!! So, now I am pumping pumping pumping... I have tried to exclusively breastfeed her with the nipple shield and she is not getting enough milk. She will stay on my boob for 3-4 hours at a time. So now I am alternating breastfeeding with bottle feedings. This is extreamly frustrating and would love any input.

text: DD is 3.5YO and nurses 1-2 times most days. There are days that she doesn't nurse at all. It's been 8-9 months since I've felt full if she missed a nursing session (which is primarily morning and night), for the past week my boobs have been SO SORE. I'm in between ovulation and AF, which is usually a time when they aren't sensitive. There is absolutely no chance that I'm pregnant, since we've taken this month off from TTC to the point of not DTD at. all. Her nursing frequency hasn't changed, so it's not like she's upped my production. She also seems to have a terrible latch lately. Could she just not be removing what little milk I still make? Is it normal for older nurslings to develop a bad latch? I'm totally baffled :headscratch. Has anyone else with an older nursling experienced this?

/ Conservation Delivery Streamlining Initiative (CDSI) Initiative 4
As part of the 2002 and 2008 Farm Bills, most of the administrative responsibilities for delivering conservation financial assistance programs (except CRP) were assigned to NRCS. This transfer of responsibilities consolidated the Programs' delivery under a single agency, and provided the opportunity for programs that are less confusing for participants, streamlined business and IT systems, efficiencies through centralization of clerical and administrative tasks, and better integration between technical and financial assistance processes.
While NRCS has taken steps to more efficiently deliver the financial assistance programs (e.g. development of ProTracts, policy changes, establishing program support staff positions in states), there continues to be widespread concern that NRCS is too "programs-driven" and field technical staff are spending too little time in the field conservation planning with clients.
To address these concerns and take advantage of the opportunity to deliver both technical and financial assistance in an integrated and efficient manner, NRCS must reevaluate its historical organizational model that places much clerical and administrative burden on the field. Ensuring NRCS' business model has the right people working on the right tasks is essential. In addition, financial assistance processes that drive much of the field conservationists' time and energy (e.g. ranking, notifications, client signatures) must be reconsidered.
To effectively construct a sustainable business model for delivering technical and financial assistance, the following strategies have been identified as part of a broader evaluation of streamlining business processes, establishing needed financial management controls, integrating new technologies, and implementing a model that reinforces that financial assistance is delivered through science-based conservation planning.
STRATEGY 4.1 - NRCS will establish a more centralized financial assistance administrative and clerical support structure and supporting information system to minimize the non-technical workload on field staff.
Implementation of a more centralized approach is a critical step towards removing the clerical financial assistance workload from field office technical staff, standardizing financial management processes, and facilitating better designed workflows and business processes.
Over 30 specific FA-related tasks often performed by field technical staff have been identified that could potentially be streamlined, eliminated, automated, or reassigned to non-technical clerical or administrative positions. These tasks include, but are not limited to, checking eligibility and dealing with eligibility issues, customer notification and correspondence, entering ranking data, obtaining customer signatures, generating and assembling contracts and related documentation, and other processes.
To centralize key parts of NRCS' financial assistance business processes, the following actions have been identified:
Formalize a financial assistance support strategy within NRCS that reassigns at least 80 percent of the non-technical FA workload from the field office technical staff to a centralized support function.
Formally define the tasks to be performed by this centralized support function, standardizing these nationwide, and expanding the number and types of tasks commonly performed by current "support positions" in states.
Integrate workflow management into a Conservation Desktop for FA Support, as well as the Conservation Desktop for planners and the Mobile Computing Tool, to allow centralized staff to efficiently and transparently provide clerical and administrative support for FA programs.
Conduct formal Centralized FA Support Pilots in selected states during FY2011-2012.
Establish a strategy to address funding and human capital issues for alternative centralized FA support approaches.
STRATEGY 4.2 - NRCS will evaluate and implement alternative business processes that streamline the delivery of financial assistance programs.
Integrating technical and financial assistance processes not only offers significant opportunities to streamline workflow and gain efficiencies, but also reinforces the concept that financial assistance exists to assist customers apply practices identified through science-based planning.
To effectively streamline the delivery of financial assistance programs, the following are required:
NRCS will integrate an automated FA program ranking capability into the conservation planning process and mobile planning platform.
NRCS will integrate the opportunity for streamlined funding selection using a threshold concept to immediately pre-approve high quality applications.
NRCS will integrate the option to use an electronic signature in conducting business with NRCS technical or financial assistance programs.
NRCS will integrate other miscellaneous policy and process changes that streamline the delivery of financial assistance.

Cole Hamels struck out 6 in 8 innings for his 8th win of the year in the Phillies 8-4 win over the Mets.
Ty Wigginton hit a home run and knocked in 6 runs. He walked twice and scored twice. John Mayberry Jr. also homered.
0 Comments
I love that Wigs had a career day today but you know, it really doesn't matter – just seeing the Muts go down to the Phils is better than anything – Go Phils!
Yeah Cole !!!! Hope you come to LA and pitch for the Dodgers next year. You will be on a team on the rise with young stars instead of an old, worn-out team like the Fills. Plus you will be at home on the West Coast. Tell Ruben Amaro that he flat-out missed his window of opportunity. The Dodgers will make you a great offer and you will be in a rotation with Clayton Kershaw. It will be a winning environment with positive fans, instead of a bunch of miserable hoagie and hate eaters.
Join the Beautiful people instead of staying with the Trolls of Sports in one of the worst cities in America. I know because I grew up in South Jersey. JUNKY JERSEY.
Yeah; right Cole. Listen to the man from L.A., where they'll love what you do so much they'll arrive in the 3rd inning and leave in the 7th. La-di-da, la la land.
and beat up Giants fans as well. Yea, great people out there in Los Angeles…..
One thing you can count on with trolls. They always complain about other trolls.
you also have to remember to watch out in the parking lot of Dodger Stadium. Dodger fans apparently like to stab other teams fans. I don't hear of that happening here in Philly.
" one of the worst cities in America." The last time I saw, the Dodgers fans were ranked the worst fans in America. Pot calling kettle!
So Pat….keeping the post short and sweet almost guarantees that there will be no grammatical errors and, thus, no harsh criticism from some of the commentors. I'm sure this wasn't done on purpose as you have a busy schedule and just wanted to get SOMETHING posted…but I couldn't resist a little sarcasm. Great job as always and I'm diggin' your contributions on the Fanatic!
Ha! Good catch Chuck, that's funny. Happy Memorial Day to both of you.
Hee hee. I was thinking the same thing.
The grammar Police are nauseating. We're reading a blog not a novel. I won't name names, but one poster's suppossed correction had terrible sentence structure. Too funny.
Go Phil's and Happy Memorial Day.
Trying to read a post that doesn't make any sense is also nauseating. I'm not one to criticize small errors, but the post in question was so badly written that something had to be said. So what if it's only a blog. I want to be able to read it without having to decipher it first.
Nice write-up!
These two sentences are better than the headline I saw today that said "Chase Utley is making progess on his knees" For God's sake can he not even walk upright now?
I'm in a mean and nasty mood tonight, so I just have to point out that Pat's post is actually four sentences in length.
You can throw up now, Psujoe!
The Dodgers reportedly made a contract offer to Oswalt…
Someone in another thread said that Oswalt would get a phone call. I think he had a different team in mind, though.
It was also reportedly too low for him.
Jon Heyman has been blathering about Oswalt getting a contract this week or so, but I've heard in the past that Oswalt's representation does a lot of rumor-starting, so cast a skeptical eye on most of what is said about him in the media. Believe things when you see them.
Honestly, I think the Phillies make a run at him if Halladay is out for any kind of extended period of time.
@Jeff Dowder: Apparently, the Dodgers did contact Oswalt, but said his asking price was too high, so they are out of the running.
I don't want to jump to conclusions but Doc's shoulder thing has me pretty concerned. If there was ever a time to get something done with Hamels and his agent I would think it's NOW. Of course, his price tag just went up AGAIN…with the win yesterday (8 leading MLB) and Doc's situation making things even more complicated.
As for Oswalt, it would be nice to maybe land him again but I'm still thinking he goes to STL or TEX. We'll see.
Great to see that a former BlueClaw is the first 8 game winner. No one deserves it more than Cole Hamels for how hard he works. Everyone should come check out some of the talent down here in Lakewood, never know who might surprise you.
Trade Utley to the AL so he can be a DH. Trade Rollins for whoever is foolish enough to take him. Time to retool.
1.5 games out of a the last playoff spot with 112 games to go. FIRESALE TIME!
hahahahahahahahahahahha! now that's a good one EricL !
No team in baseball is going to trade anything for Utley, he'd missed the start of the past two seasons with a health issue that can't be corrected by surgery…. And he has $15 m on his contract last year….
Rollins isnt hitting but still plays great defense at SS, he should be batting 7th, it's not his fault his name keeps getting penciled in at #1
I guess it depends on the return, but under most circumstances that I can imagine I don't want the Phillies trading Utley, especially since they are by no means out of the playoff race. He was still a very valuable player even in the limited playing time he had last year and can probably provide similar value when he returns this season.
yes it is! his ego has always been a slight issue. he wouldnt bat 5th when they asked him to. there is no way he'd willingly bat anywhere but 1 or 3
A lot of the attention has turned to Rollins and rightfully so. As one of the faces of the franchise and on the field leaders, he simply hasnt provided much offense. While no one is expecting his MVP caliber year, we are all disappointed. Jimmy can do better than this. I think this is why his name is coming up a lot. I myself was expecting at least a .260 BA, and around 15 HR for the year. On Utley no one is going to take him off our hands with his contract and health issues. Forget about that he is ours until his contract runs up. We can only hope the best for him and his knees.
A couple of years ago Rollins went through a very long stretch when he put up even more dismal numbers than he has this year. At one point his batting average was down around .200, but when the season ended, his totals were pretty much where they always have been. He'll get better, I'm sure.
People complain, too, about his being the leadoff guy. The funny part is that no one seems to have a viable alternative. Victorino has failed in the spot, Pierre is a platoon player and can't be used every game, and the others guys with decent OBPs are way too slow. It's not as though Manuel hasn't tried others; it's that he really doesn't have much choice because no one else has done any better, and Rollins hasn't done any better when he has batted lower in the order.
Rollins is definitely one of the most frustrating players on the Phils right now. But when he starts squaring the ball up like he is capable of doing, he'll be just as valuable as ever.
Sometimes I just do not get some of you one here, the Phillies have won 4 out of 5 against teams with good records, Cole is rolling, they took walks and scored runs in all but one of those games. Please get passed batting average and watch the at bats by some of the guys not "hitting well" JRoll has had a few hard hit balls that are just not finding open spaces. JRoll will bat led off and go on a streak where his hard hits will fall.
It will be nice to win tongiht and get a series win.
All said and true Beta but, the win last night was on Wiggington – how often will that happen?
When Choochie levels out, what will happen then? No getting around it, if the Phils are going to continue rising in the ranks, they need Rollins' bat and pronto.
I had a dream last night that Doc needed rotator surgery and would miss the remainder of the year. Woke up screaming NOOOOOO !!!! I hope I was just responding to some bad chicken salad.
Must be part of the same dream when you said that J-Roll's "ego" was in the way and a huge problem…
More like a nightmare Bart
#1 – I believe Halladay is hurt and I hope its ONLY tendonitis.
#2 – Eric, if you could trade Utlet this second and get anything in return, with the other team assuming his whole contract, you do it in a second. The chances of Utley ever helping your team again is far outweighed by the benefit of getting rid of his money.
#3 – Jimmy is not a viable leadoff guy. But its not his fault. Its Charlie's fault for putting him up there and its RAJ's fault for not getting a real leadoff guy. This, and Howard's hitting approach, are the two biggest reasons for this offenses dysfunction.
IMHO. Respectfully submitted. Douglas Neidermyer.
The Dipsy
#2 is completely and categorically 100% wrong. Even in his limited playing time last season Utley put up 3.9 fWAR. On the open market that's worth about $20 million dollars. So even though he missed nearly 50 games he STILL provided value above and beyond the cost of his contract. There's no reason he can't come close to providing equal value this year and return to a surplus again next year.
In short, Utley's contract is still a bargain.
I agree that through WAR dollars, Utley has already earned his money, and more.
That said, I'd trade him if I could. I just don't know why any one would take a chance until after he becomes free and they could negotiate a deal. I could see an AL club doing that.
I would TOTALLY trade Chase right now if the other team assumed his contract. But we all know that ZERO teams out there are stupid enough to do that.
What is Howard's hitting approach?
He's a slugger, never was, and never will be the most disciplined hitter out there.. his job is to hit the ball hard, over the fence, or deep enough to drive in runs ……..and he does that well.
Every team in baseball would take Ryan Howard on their team. . . well maybe except the team from Waldorf'
Don – Nobody would take Ryan Howard on their team. He makes too much money. His first three years in the league he: hit homers, hit lefties, had a good average and a good OBP. Thats when he concentrated on being a "great hitter". Then, he got the idea that had to pull absolutely everything while swinging at absolutely everything. Lets not go here. He's regressed. He IS a power hitter, though. Another 2 years of this decline and he's Rob Deer or Dave Kingman.
The Dipsy
Money aside …… you said his approach… and with his approach, power, and production – every team in baseball would welcome his bat in their lineup
Disagree. Cincinnati, NYY, Boston, Anaheim, Detroit all have much better first basemen (Detroit has two who are better!). There are also a bunch of teams who would probably decline trading Howard for their 1b straight up because the guys they have are close to as good but much younger and less injury prone: Chicago Cubs, San Diego, NYM, Atlanta, Texas, Arizona, Kansas City, Washington, etc.
Howard just isn't that good and is not all that appealing if you're looking to build a team.
Rob Deer basically played until age 32. He then missed a few seasons and attempted to come back at 35 and failed. The most HR he ever hit in a season was 33 and he only hit more than 30 twice. So he's a poor comparison.
Dave Kingman actually was fairly productive in the HR and RBI categories from ages 33-37. Age 33 he hit 37 HR and had 99 RBI. Then it was 13/29 (I'm assuming he was injured), 35/118, 30/91, and 35/94 at age 37. His average sucked but, like Howard, he was on the team to hit homeruns and drive in runs.
I would imagine that with better conditioning and training regimens today and his body of work already that, after this year as he is fully healed from the injury, Ryan Howard will be a productive part of the Phillies MLB roster.
I'm not concerned about Halladay ……..but I'm very concerned about TMac not being able to call Hallday, "Doc" 1,000,000 times per game
on the Phillies website, there is a video of Halladay getting the last out of the 2nd …and then Savery coming on in the 3rd … it's a :45-second video, and he calls him "Doc" three times
Everyone complains about Wheels but TMac is the one I can't stand listening to. Just shut up and let me watch the game!
They're both bad, but at least Wheels has been this bad for so long that we're used to his suckitude, whereas TMuck is newer and thus more annoying even though they're probably equally as dumb.
Yea I am actually a fan of Wheels …. his memory and retelling of Phillies history, as it relates to current game situations/plays, etc . adds to the broadcast in my opinion …. I understand that people get annoyed with him saying the same phrases over and over "He likes the ball middle-in" , etc . . . . . but that's nowhere near as bad as many of the announcers out there who basically try to create SportsCenter-like catch phrases (the Yankees guys are TERRIBLE)..
I really think that the majority of fans that don't like Wheeler- don't like him because of whatever feud him and Harry Kalas had …back in the 1980s ……….. To me, Wheeler is CLEARLY the most knowledgable of the Phillies announcers, despite not having played the game … Sarge is clearly the worst and Tmac gets more annoying by the game, especially because I feel like he dumbs-down the broadcast when Sarge is in the booth – and asks him the dumbest possible questions to give Sarge something to talk about …
"Look at that dirtball® take that belly-whomper™ into second. He just plays the game the right way™, having fun out there. Unlike that Reyes, always showboating."
Ugh. So bad. I'd rather listen to silence with the field-mics turned up.
I'm concerned about T-Mac's sports bra not working. Time to put him on the "bro."
How about just fire his worthless fatbody and let the greater Delaware Valley enjoy a ballgame without his awful, awful announcing.
Jesus, relax. Deer and Kingman are the first guys that came to mind mind that I remember doing nothing but homering or striking out. @Eric – I thin that you assume in your premise that Utley is A) going to play again; and B) play as well as last year (I don't agree with either. I do not think that Utley ever make a meaningful contribution to the Phillies again. He….has….no…cartilage. Now, advancing your position further, if you believe that his contract is a bargain, wouldn't another team jump at the chance to trade for him if and once he comes back? But you know that would never happen. In his present set of circumstances, Utley is not worth much. Its now almost June and he hasn't even taken serious fielding. RE: Howard, I actually think that he will come back next year and play well. I think he will be more selective and try to get back to the player he used to be. Stoill overpaid, but at least somewhat productive. I am rooting for Howard to recover big time.
The Dipsy
Eric's "assumptions" are more likely to happen than yours. The likelihood that Utley a) plays again this year, is reasonably high based on the all the reports, previous injuries, and the rehabilitation of this type of injury. And the likelihood that he b) plays as well as last year is pretty high, too.. there's no basis to reasonably assume that solely because of this particular injury he will have worse numbers than last year, when had to go through the same process. If anything, this year they are rushing him less than they did in 2011… which hopefully translates into better numbers for him.
"My knees the last week or so have felt better than they have in a while, which is kind of what we've been working toward," Utley said. "I'm progressing well. Every day seems like it's getting a little bit better." Utley has been taking around 25-to-30 ground balls each day, and has been shagging balls in left field where the grass is easier on his knees. The outfield work has led to some speculation that a move to left field could be in Utley's future. For now, the plan is for Utley to return as a second baseman.
You can't really assume Utley is going to play as well as last year because he's another year older and he's already way behind last year's rehabilitation. He was playing for the Phillies by May 23 last season. He's not even close to being ready this year. I guess it's convenient to say that the team rushed him last year, but there's no concrete proof of that. The severity of this injury has always been predicated on whether or not Chase thought he could take the field.
Let's take any and all Utley quotes with a grain of salt. He's not the most forthcoming guy. In spring training he said that the pain he had this year was not as bad as last year's pain. Yet here we are with a longer rehab for a "lesser" injury. It would not be reasonable to expect better numbers for a healthy player at his age, so it's very unlikely for a player with chronic knee issues to produce at a higher rate.
In the same way that you say we can't assume he's going to play as well as last year, I can say that you can't assume he'll be as bad as he was last year, which was the first time he really had to deal with this issue. There's just as much of a chance that his power was sapped by the injury and his time this year has been used to strengthen his lower body to an extent that he couldn't and didn't know how to last year because all of the rehab and stretching was new to him and it takes a while to figure out what works and what doesn't. Last year Utley posted the lowest slash line of his career, and he's still only 33, which isn't over the hill by any means. Further, this year they have Galvis who should be able to competently spell Utley to keep him stronger and healthier down the stretch.
I think the safe assumption is something similar to last year's production, and cases can be made for him coming back in better and worse shape. But there's little evidence to go by, whereas we do have a season of injured-knee-post-rehab performance to use as a guide for our projections.
Hey Eric..
You want a real example of SUCKAPALOOZA..Try watching the Atlanta Braves broadcast.
Our guys are Hall of Famers in comparison.
No sleeping pills needed .
Just because I hate the Phils television crew doesn't mean that I think most others are a lot better. The vast majority of announcers are terrible.
ANY announcing team would look like hall-of-famers next to the Braves' broadcasters.
It really wouldn't shock me at all if Utley is done.
It certainly would shock me.
You're listening to Utley? As much as I love his play thats how little think of his self assessments of his own injuries. At this point, I don't believe a word he says about his own knees. Forget about the irritation under the kneecap business…he has no cartilage in this knees. Thats the problem.
The Dipsy
You keep saying he has no cartilage in his knees. That's just completely false.
If he had NO cartilage in his knees he wouldn't be able to walk, much less take batting practice and field ground balls.
What happened to Sarge the other day?
The Dipsy
I don't know ….what happened to Sarge? He was on the radio yesterday filling in for LA if that's what you're referring to.
I don't believe Utley, either. I know it's almost sacreligious in this town to talk badly about him but, right now, I don't believe anything he says or any reports about him. He wasn't forthcoming to the Phillies in the off-season and that pisses me off. Thank God Freddy Galvis has done the job he has, that's all I have to say.
Maybe it was windy at Citi field so his hat blew off and sent LA to go chase it down.
As for Utley, you have to believe the visible things. He's now fielding ground balls. We've seen this with our own eyes (at least if you've watched the clips they have on CSN or whatever), and you have to believe that he's taking BP because, again, we've seen it. He was doing little of either earlier in the season. So, whether you guys believe that he's feeling better in his knees or not, you have to acknowledge that he's doing more physical activity than he has at any point this year, and that's progress, and that there's very likely a reason why he's able to do things now that he wasn't able to do a few months ago.
Your assertion that he wasn't forthcoming in the offseason is off base. First,we cannot know what he did or did not tell the organization. Second, it's entirely possible that his left knee really didn't start to hurt until he ramped up baseball activities this spring. You're mad at him for something he very well may not have done, and for which you have no evidence–that seems unfair.
Ah…..Wheels and TMac kept were busting on him about missing a team bus so I thought he actually missed the game. Alright Eric…..he has very little cartilage in his knees. Obviously, I need to be hyper precise in my assertions or people just don't understand. To repeat…he has very little cartilage in his knees. So little cartilage, in fact, that its too the the point where his knees won't work enough for him to be able to play baseball. How's that? I don't believe he's progressing for sh!t.
The Dipsy
If you don't believe he's progressing, what is your explanation for Chase taking infield practice now when he didn't take the field at all during spring training and through April?
And Eric, since "we cannot know" these things, that also means that "you cannot know". Unless you do. Which would be great because then you could explain it all to us. So then, as logic follows, if we can agree what Utley did or didn't say regarding his injury in the offseason is not know by us, then a person's assertion about what he said is not necessarily "off base", but merely not supported by a set of facts that would make Chuck's (and mine), "assertions" provable. In short, we are left with merely "circumstantial" evidence, if you will, regarding how we think things went down. And in this case, this all points to Utley bullsh!tting the Phils. Do we know with exact certainty? Nope. But what I have learned about all this all the way through has me believing the same thing Chucky does. Chucky – respected poster.
The Dipsy
What evidence do you have that leads you to believe that Utley lied to the Phillies?
Circumstantial evidence doesn't cut it in my book, nor in the laws of this country. On that kind of evidence, you shoudn't be belittling someone or calling them a liar–which is what claiming he "bullsh!tted" is. You and Chuck are definitely being unfair if you do.
We can rebuild him we have the technology…..
Halladay is out 6-8 weeks with a lat strain per @ToddZolecki
Well, looks like Doc could be gone until mid-to-late July. Who's next? Ugh.
If Chase Utley was forthcoming to the Phillies about his condition there is NO WAY they would have dealt Wilson Valdez. Amaro even admitted that in hindsight it was probably not a good thing to have done. In fact, had they known that he would have been out for an extended period then they may even have gone out and signed someone else to "fill in" ….sort of like thet same approch they took with Howard's injury by signing Nix and Wiggy.
Maybe Chase "thought" he could play and that he would be allright and that's why he didn't say anything to them but I don't understand how he could have thought that if he was this bad to the point where it's almost June and he hasn't seen any game action at any level. I'm just not buying it.
Amaro also admitted that in hindsight it was a mistake to trade away Cliff Lee. Everyone and their brother agrees that the Ryan Howard contract extension was an abomination. Amaro makes mistakes, and you can't blame all of them on the players.
Like I said before, it's entirely possible that Chase felt fine until he ramped up baseball activites in spring training. There's a big difference between working in the gym and doing rehab exercises versus actually stressing your body in game-like situations.
It is, in my opinion, unfair to criticize a guy for getting injured, and irresponsible to speculate that he must have known he wasn't healthy and therefore did a disservice by not telling his team. That's a bridge too far for me.
I didn't say "lie" on purpose.
The Dipsy
No, you said "Bullsh!tting" which is synonymous with "lying."
I never said "lie" either. I just don't think he was fully forthcoming to the team and the powers that be, that's all. Big difference, George. Stop putting words in my mouth (and Dipsy's for that matter)
And just what is the difference between BS and lies? I know that one other definition of the word is "exageration," but isn't that a fabrication, too? And really, anyone who "isn't forthcoming," is certainly not being truthful in most people's eyes.
I didn't put words in you or Dipsy's mouth. I just provided what the words you put in your own mouths really amount to.
To put is another way: If I call you a butthole, isn't that the same as my calling you an @ss? Even if I consider a butthole a place to bury burnt out cigarettes, you could certainly argue otherwise.
No Eric. "Bullsh!tting" does not mean the same thing as "lying". Grab a dictionary.
The Dipsy
From Dictionary.com:
[bool-shit] Show IPA noun, verb, bull·shlt·ted or bull·shlt, bull·shlt·ting, interjection Slang: Vulgar .
1. nonsense, lies, or exaggeration.
verb (used with object)
2. to lie or exaggerate to.
Notice how both definitions have the word "lie" in them? If you're going to accuse a guy of BSing, perhaps you should know what that word means.
I'm not criticizing him for getting injured. What I'm critical of is his failure to talk about it with his employer, something that, if you're making $15M a year, you sort of have at least a little bit of an obligation to do. And I don't buy into the notion that he didn't notice anything over the winter. No….Chase Utley is a private guy and a hard worker, two things that are admirable. I think he thought he could work through it and come out ok. He probably felt that there was no need to tell the Phillies anything. And I think the Phillies were surprised by the turn of events in the Spring because I will continue to argue that if they thought that Chase wasn't gonna start the season on time they would not have traded away Valdez. And…let's face it..Galvis has been somewhat of a surprise.
I think athletes that perform at a high level often have trouble when facing their own mortality. He probably did believe he could work through this in spring training the past two years. I'd think that both Utley and the organization realize by now that they need a new game plan for next winter.
WEBSTER'S please. As a verb. Thanks. Geezuz. Dictionary.com. Really?
The Dipsy
And even in your "dictionary.com" def. its "lie or exaggerate". Did you see the inclusion of "or". Ya ever buy a car before? A nice suit? You wife ever asked you if she looked fat in a dress? (respectfully).
The Dipsy
From Websters:
exaggerate: 1. to enlarge beyond the bounds of truth. 2. to misrepresent by overstating.

Laurel Thatcher Ulrich WS '78, 300th Anniversary University Professor, Harvard University
Through its array of programs, Woodrow Wilson has been privileged to support the development of more than 22,000 leaders—teachers and scholars, leaders and business people, artists and innovators. Many Fellows from various Woodrow Wilson programs have achieved notable national or international honors and distinguished positions. A great many more continue to publish new work and receive recognition for their teaching and research. Some of them are featured here.
Alumni from the Woodrow Wilson Foundation's range of programs—the original Woodrow Wilson Fellowship program as well as the Mellon Fellowship, Pickering Fellowship, Newcombe Fellowship, Women's Studies Fellowship, and many others—have become leaders in the academy, the private sector, the nonprofit world, and public service. In supporting promising young scholars over the course of the past six decades, Woodrow Wilson has helped to develop the next generation of intellectual leaders, as the selection of distinguished Fellows featured here attests.

Explore the Entrepreneurship.org Resource Center to find resources. Designed with entrepreneurs in mind, our resource center allows you to find materials to grow great ideas.
When we think about the startup life we're often occupied with visions of long days and late nights in the office and the all consuming passion that overtakes a life as someone takes a vision and turns it into reality. An entrepreneur certainly has many things that can easily engulf his or her life as they balance product creation, customer development, hiring, sales and financing, to name but a few. But what about the other side of the life equation? Entrepreneurs have families, friends, spouses, and partners who play an important role.
As Brad Feld and Amy Batchelor point out in their book Startup Life: Surviving and Thriving in a Relationship with an Entrepreneur, it is hard to create a startup company, but it is also hard to create a lasting relationship. Tackling these challenges at the same time comes with the need for heightened awareness about communication, expectations, and shared values. Through strategies like "four minutes in the morning" and Life Dinners, Brad and Amy have built a foundation for communication that helps them manage their busy lives.
Meg Hirshberg gives voice to similar themes in her book For Better or For Work: A Survival Guide for Entrepreneurs and their Families, about lessons learned in her own life and marriage to the founder of Stonyfield Farm. She notes that of course, your business always needs you, always, but then, so do the people on the other side of your life's equation. Despite the fact that, as she puts it, "entrepreneurial business sucks the entire family into its vortex", understanding the nature of risk and stress, making time for one another, and prioritizing communications can help families weather the ups and downs of an entrepreneurial venture. My former colleague Munro Richardson, co-founder of myEDMatch, reports that he found talking with his family – his wife and his daughters – to be very helpful, and afforded all of them a learning experience. His 12 year old even learned enough to ask him about a Plan B in case his new startup should fail. However, Richardson concedes, staying "present" even when out of the office is a challenge he has to focus on.
In a recent article in the July/August edition of Inc. magazine, Hirshberg appeals to the entrepreneur's penchant for tracking progress with a "marriage dashboard" that encourages entrepreneurs and their families to evaluate how well they're managing to balance the equation. Asking questions about how you're feeling, the balance of support, monthly grievances (missing dinner, for example), and how well you're showing appreciation for one another, can help serve as a guide for how well you're doing.
As Hirshberg notes, there is a spousal lifetime value, one that should be considered in the balance of what you sacrifice for your business.

Baseball Toon #2: The Odd Couple
If you don't get it, the girl loves the Chicago Cubs, while the guy is wearing a jersey of St. Louis Cardinals First Baseman Albert Pujols. The Cards and Cubbies are huge rivals, maybe the third-biggest rivalry in baseball behind Yankees/Red Sox and Dodgers/Giants. Of course I think the Atlanta Braves/New York Mutts tops 'em all.
Here's the vid the Braves girl (will come up with names soon) was jamming to.

Vizquel interested in Padres
So, it looks like shortstop Omar Vizquel will soon be a Padre. He's pretty old, but he has a lot of experience and he seems like a good defensive player. If he can stay solid at short and give us 15 or so homers, I think he will be OK. It looks like a deal will get done as soon as the end of the week.
Otherwise, a thing is going around the blogosphere that Jimmy over at Baseball, The Yankees and Life started. And that is the dedication of their numbers in the Latest Leaders to a player. My number this time was #23, and I am dedicating that to Adrian Gonzalez, who is also #23.
Adrian is the Padres' first baseman right now. He had a great, great year in 2008, not to mention earning a Gold Glove. He was also in the All-Star game, and did pretty well. He's been pretty amazing in the last few years. He will definitely win the Padres' MVP. I look forward to seeing him continue his success in the next few years.
Meanwhile, I'm just waiting for Spring Training. We need baseball!
11 Comments
Omar may be getting up there in years, but he's an awesome player. Totally sure-handed at short. The Padres could do much worse.
Jimmy had a great idea on dedicating our ranking to a player wearing our number. I blogged today on the retired Red Sox #4.
We do need baseball! I like this whole tradition of dedicating our numbers to our players! I think it's great! Adrian Gonzalez is a great player!! I think Vizquel will do fine as a Padre too, good defensive short stop, and I hope his numbers will hold up!
Congrats! It's cool that your number is 23 and so is Adrian. I think Omar Vizquel should be our shortstop this season, even though he's freaking old. Oh well. He's a well-experienced guy.
Oh by the way, I'm not a he. I'm a she! And my name is spelled Hyun Young🙂
Adrian Gonzalez is a great player. He's young and very underrated. He's your future there in San Diego!
Oh…and BTW, he needs 3 more homers (as noted on my website http://www.happyyoungster.com under "milestone tracker") to reach #100 for his career.
If I catch it, I'll get something for you🙂
I'm kind of excited about this because I love Omar. The Giants are my NL team, and Omar has been a Giant since 2005. Although if the Padres keep getting former Giants players, I might have a second-favorite NL team since I live here now! Although he's getting up in age, he's still a pretty good player. The Padres need someone to give their fans some hope this season.
JANE, I'm sure we would do worse, but thankfully Vizquel is available!
JULIA, yeah, that was a great entry!
ELIZABETH, thanks! I hope he does do well.
HYUN YOUNG, sorry about that🙂
HAPPY, I didn't realize that! Thanks🙂
I don't get the Omar deal at all to be honest. Yes he can bring veteran leadership but the guy is near the end of his career more than likely. He hit .246 and .222 the last two years. He had a great year defensively last year but he has a career .984 fielding percentage. So why not give a young guy a shot from the farm team?
Hi, Kaybee …
Thanks, for mentioning my name and featuring my mlblog on your above post !!! ……….. I appreciate that very much !!! … Also, I'm glad that you have embraced the idea of dedicating your ranking on the mlblogs "Leader's List" in honor of some special player !!! … Adrian Gonzalez is a great choice for your #23 ranking !!! … And, it's also great, that you have expanded on my idea [along with Elizabeth and Julia], by writing a post in honor of your ranking number and the player that you dedicated the number to … So, keep up the excellent work on your blog !!! … And, by the way, I have included your blog on my "Link List" on my mlblog, and it's a plaesure to do so !!! … Jimmy [27NYY], "BY&L" … http://baseballtheyankeesandlife.mlblogs.com/

Local woman faces heroin charge in NYBy Darren Marcy
Staff Writer | July 12,2014A Florence woman and a New York man were charged with heroin possession after a traffic stop in Fort Ann, N.Y.
Police said the heroin was destined for distribution in Rutland.
New York State Police arrested Emily R. Newton, 20, of Florence and Raydell Antonetti, 28, of Bay Shore, N.Y., after a traffic stop early Tuesday on Route 149.
Trooper Mark Cepiel said officers stopped Antonetti, who was driving a gray Audi with a Vermont temporary plate on the rear, for failing to dim his headlights and for lacking a front plate.
Police said Antonetti gave a fake name and date of birth, claiming he didnt have any ID.
As one trooper dealt with Antonetti, police said, another officer smelled burned marijuana on Newton and in the car.
A drug-detection dog with the Washington County Sheriffs Department arrived and alerted to other drugs in the vehicle, Cepiel said.
Troopers said they found a plastic bag containing a large quantity of a substance packaged in such a manner as for distribution.
Police said they found about 3.5 ounces of heroin.
Its unusual to have that amount, but lately were seeing that more and more, Cepiel said.
Newton and Antonetti were arrested and each charged with two felonies: criminal possession of a controlled substance and possession with intent to sell.
During their search of the car, troopers found a New York state benefits card bearing Antonettis real name and date of birth, Cepiel said.
Antonetti was wanted for parole violations in Suffolk County in New York and had prior felony convictions, police said.
Troopers also charged Antonetti with misdemeanor counts of false personation and aggravated unlicensed operation of a vehicle, as well as operating without insurance, equipment violation for having tinted windows and for dazzling headlights, the arrest report said.
Antonetti and Newton were arraigned in the Fort Edward court and held in the Washington County jail.
Antonetti was held without bail. Newton was held on $75,000 cash bail or $150,000 bond.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of... Full StoryVermont fish hatchery changes focus, looks inland

Richard Childress Racing
Recent News
June 25, 2013
As social engagement continues to grow in popularity among consumers, brand loyalists and motorsports fans, Kwikset is leveraging its sponsorship of NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Jeff Burton for a Twitter campaign and sweepstakes that will give fans a chance to win a VIP Experience with Burton and Richard Childress Racing at Charlotte, N.C., in October.
Beginning June 20, racing fans can enter the Kwikset "I Heart the Mayor" sweepstakes by visiting www.iHeartTheMayor.com. Until Burton races at this year's Coke Zero 400 on July 6, fans can tweet about the RCR driver through www.iHeartTheMayor.com with the hashtag #TweetToWin. The more fans tweet from the site, the more sweepstakes entries they receive. During the race on July 6, the sweepstakes launches and visitors can participate in a live Twitter race between Jeff and five race day competitors. By continuing to tweet for Burton throughout race day, fans can unlock additional prizes and sweeps entries. One lucky participant will win the following VIP Experience:
• Exclusive access to pit road during the race
• Pit, garage and No. 31 hauler tour
• Exclusive tour of the Richard Childress Racing campus including the NSCS race shop and RCR museum
• Lunch for four at The Bistro at Childress Vineyards
• Meet and greet photo opportunity with Burton
• Access to the race on October 12, in Charlotte, N.C.
• Round-trip coach class air transportation for up to four to Charlotte, N.C.
• Two night's hotel accommodations
• Transportation to and from the race and to and from Richard Childress Racing
• $200 American Express card for food and beverage
• Access to the Kwikset hospitality event on race night
"Family, safety, and innovation are Kwikset's core tenets. Once we learned that Jeff had similar passions, we knew this partnership would be beneficial for both parties," said Greg Gluchowski, president, Hardware & Home Improvement Group at Spectrum Brands. "The 'I Heart the Mayor' sweepstakes is a fun way for motorsports and Kwikset fans to learn more about Kwikset and Jeff, while also giving them the opportunity to win a once-in-a-lifetime experience."
The "I Heart the Mayor" sweepstakes is one of several ways Kwikset is activating its sponsorship of Burton. Kwikset has had its logo on Burton's No. 31 Chevrolet for every race this season, and will provide the primary paint scheme on his car for the 2013 Coke Zero 400.
"Kwikset has been a tremendous partner this year," said Burton. "This campaign is just another way that they've tapped into motorsports fans' passion. We expect fans to gravitate toward this fun campaign and be excited to participate."
Burton is affectionately nicknamed "The Mayor" by his loyal racing fans for being a spokesperson for fellow competitors in the garage. The 45-year-old veteran has been a driver in NASCAR for more than 20 years, and has 21 Sprint Cup Series race victories, 132 top-five finishes, 251 top-10 finishes and six pole awards.
For more information and to enter the sweepstakes, fans can visit www.iHeartTheMayor.com

What people think of as "stomach flu" is typically food poisoning. Hand-washing is critical after handling raw meat and fish, although even washing carefully with bleach and soapy water may not eliminate the threat of Salmonella and Campylobacter from raw chicken. C. diff, the superbug associated with pseudomembraneous colitis and toxic megacolon, was found in 42% of U.S. retail meat in one study. The superbug MRSA also affects the U.S. meat supply (see also here). Nearly half of retail meat for sale in the United States was found contaminated with staph in general. Meat is not only the #1 source of toxin-producing E. Coli, but also contains Neu5Gc, a protein which allows the bacteria to enter human cells more easily. Adding phosphates may increase the amount of pathogenic bacteria in meat. Even placing children in the basket of a shopping cart with raw meat could pose a danger. Poultry is the #1 cause of food poisoning, and ever since the end of the Clinton administration, the incidence of Salmonella poisoning is on the rise. One study found that nine out of ten packaged chicken are contaminated with fecal matter. Viruses from poultry may even be associated with neurological diseases, and bacteria from poultry have been associated with paralysis (see also here). Extra-intestinal E. coli, found in almost half of all retail poultry samples tested, may cause urinary tract infections. Pork tapeworms infecting one's brain is the leading cause of adult-onset epilepsy. 90% of Yersinia, a foodborne illness from pork, may be antibiotic resistant. The hepatitis E virus is carried in the livers and bloodstreams of pigs and is transmitted through feces and by eating undercooked pork. There are a number of heat-stable toxins in fish that can cause food poisoning (some of which may even be sexually transmitted). We can get cholera from raw oysters; tapeworms, brainworms, and eyeworms, and a rare form of amnesia from sushi. Fecal microbes are not just found on animal products: several brands of bottled water and water sprayed on crops have shown bacterial contamination. Salmonella has been found in alfalfa sprouts, so broccoli sprouts are safer. Sea vegetables are an excellent source of iodine, but eating kelp (and sausages containing thyroid glands) can lead to iodine-induced thyrotoxicosis. Eggs cause an eggborne epidemic of Salmonella, sickening more than 100,000 Americans every year.

New, sustainable cork flooring has been installed and stained in the mock dorm room set up in the Ryan Student Center. The room, which was assembled by Facilities, allows the community to experience what a new single in the Tritton and Kim Dorms will be like upon completion. Tray ceilings with atmospheric overhead lighting are featured in each room to help create special, unique spaces for their residents. The room also features a super-efficient Duratherm window very similar to the model that will be used in the real building. Furniture mock-ups are expected to be added to the room within a month to help the community better visualize the function and use of the space.

There is now an automatic system that helps you monitor the truck's position on the road. If you get too close to the road's edge or the centre line, you will be alerted by an audible signal. The Lane Keeping Support (LKS) helps you out when you get distracted.
The LKS is a driver support system that alerts you when the truck unintentionally drifts from the current lane. Applications are mainly in the long haul segments when the truck is being driven in a steady cruising speed under monotonous traffic conditions.
The main components of the LKS are a camera, a processor and a control unit. The camera continuously films the road markings. The information is transmitted and handled by the control unit, which is connected to for example the speedometer, braking signal and turn indicator. When a number of criteria are met that show that the truck unintentionally is steering off course, the control unit sends a warning signal.
The LKS is easily activated or de-activated with a switch on the instrument panel.
