- Abstract
- Oral delivery of agents such as vaccines offers a number of significant advantages over parenteral routes, yet only a small number of oral vaccines are routinely available today. The small intestine contains lymphoid aggregates that are overlaid by M cells. These aggregates are part of the gut-associated lymphoid tissues and are important for determining host responses to particulate antigenic material within the small intestine. Differentiating the receptor requirements for M cell uptake and transcytosis of bacterial antigen from the intestine has progressed although the specific signalling mechanisms that initiate antigen uptake and specifically target antigen to these cells is still relatively unknown. Microbial pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) are recognised by the innate immune system through pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) either through direct receptor–bacterial ligand or endogenous adaptor–bacterial molecule interactions. PRRs on the surface of M cells that have been identified as important in antigen transcytosis include toll-like receptor-4, platelet-activating factor receptor and α5β1 integrin. A number of these PRRs are also found on neighbouring enterocytes and therefore the pathways signalled by receptor–ligand binding may differentially trigger different transduction pathways. Elucidation of these signalling pathways may assist in the design of effective oral vaccines that target the gut-associated lymphoid tissue.

The indictment included two counts of indecency with a child, contact, both second degree felonies.
Investigator Deputy Adam Levine of the Bee County Sheriff's Office claimed that 21-year-old Amanda Montez touched the genitals and the breasts of a girl under the age of 17 during an incident on Feb. 11, 2012.
If convicted of either count listed in the indictment, Montez faces a possible 20-year prison sentence and a $10,000 fine.
District Judge Janna Whatley set bond on the defendant at $10,000.
Others indicted on Aug. 8 included:
•Jesus Ramirez, also known as Jesus Garcia Ramirez, on a charge of driving while intoxicated, third or more-habitual.
If convicted, the 45-year-old defendant could face 25-99 years or life in prison.
According to the indictment, the defendant was arrested by Highway Patrol Trooper Marvin Baker for DWI on July 12, 2012.
Ramirez had previous DWI convictions on May 29, 1986, and on Nov. 19, 2001, both in Cameron County.
He also had previous felony convictions for burglary of a habitation on Aug. 6, 1996, and burglary of a building on March 13, 2002, both in Cameron County.
Bond was $10,000 with interlock conditions to keep him from driving while under the influence of alcohol.
•Leon Anaya Martinez on a charge of evading arrest with a vehicle.
The charge was enhanced to a second degree felony because Martinez has a previous felony conviction.
Deputy Steve Linam alleged that Martinez fled from him on May 26 as he was trying to arrest the defendant.
The charge was enhanced because the 34-year-old defendant had a conviction on a charge of retaliation on Sept. 23, 2008.
Bond was $1,500.
•Jacob Soliz on a charge of possession of a prohibited substance in a correctional facility.
The charge is a third degree felony, punishable upon conviction by up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
According to Patrolman Greg Baron of the Beeville Police Department, the 24-year-old defendant had marijuana in his possession in the Bee County Jail on Feb. 22.
His bond was $3,000.
•Adriana Lynn Estrada on a charge of tampering with physical evidence, a third degree felony.
Baron alleged that 18-year-old suspect concealed marijuana to impair its availability as evidence in an investigation during an incident on Aug. 4, 2012.
Bond was $1,500.
•Joe Ernest Rios, Jr. on a charge of possession of a controlled substance, less than one gram, a state jail felony.
If convicted, the 21-year-old could be sentenced to up to two years in a state jail facility and ordered to pay a $10,000 fine.
BPD Sgt. Jason Alvarez alleged that Rios had less than a gram of methamphetamine in his possession on July 1, 2002.
Bond was $5,000.
•Johnnie Ann Salazar on three counts of fraudulent use of identifying information, a state jail felony.
According to investigators, Salazar used the identifying information of another person to obtain a Walmart credit card on Jan. 10, 2010, and to obtain wireless phone service on June 14 and again on June 27, 2010.
Bond was $2,500.
•Kathe Moser on a charge of theft, a state jail felony.
District Attorney José Aliseda alleged that the defendant took a sorrel gelding horse valued at between $1,500 and $20,000 from a local person.
Bond was $2,500.
•Gerardo Yzaguirre on a charge of theft, a state jail felony.
According to Patrolman Baron, the suspect took currency valued between $1,500 and $20,000 from a local person without consent on May 8.
Bond was $1,000.

Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center says a tropical depression in the Eastern Pacific has turned into the first tropical storm of the season on Wednesday.
This was the first day of the hurricane season for the Eastern Pacific.
The Central Pacific hurricane season, which Hawaii is a part of, starts on June 1.
Tropical Storm Alvin is 665 miles south-southwest of Acapulco, Mexico as of 11 a.m. HST Wednesday.
Maximum sustained winds are at 40 mph. It is moving west-northwest at 13 mph.
Forecasters say the storm is expected to strengthen during the next 48 hours and could become a hurricane in a couple of days.
Right now, the storm is not a threat to Hawaii.
KITV4 Weather will continue to monitor the storm as it moves across the Pacific.
Honolulu's Department of Emergency Management is encouraging everyone to get prepared as Hawaii's hurricane season is just around the corner.
You and your family should update emergency plans, emergency contact lists and emergency supply kits.

Sanders, Boxer Move on Climate Change
While much of the current legislative debate revolves around gun control and the coming federal budget cuts known as the "sequester," two top Senate progressives already are moving forward on climate change. Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) on Thursday introduced comprehensive legislation on climate change. Boxer is chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. Sanders sits on the environment committee and also is a member of the Senate energy committee. Under the legislation, a fee on carbon pollution emissions would fund historic investments in energy efficiency and sustainable energy technologies such as wind, solar, geothermal and biomass. The proposal also would provide rebates to consumers to offset any efforts by oil, coal or gas companies … Continue reading

The cleft lip and palate is one of the most common deformations of humankind. The clefts in the face can develop in the area of the upper lip, the bones of the maxilla and the hard and soft upper palate in the fourth to eighth week of pregnancy. They can occur in various combinations, either on the left or the right hand side of the face or bilateral.
Cleft children are born on all continents and in each and every country. Estimates on the frequency of the cases vary. In Europe it is assumed that one in 500 to 800 births are affected. In Asia these numbers are probably considerably higher. In Africa they are a little bit lower. The most affected areas are those with poor environmental conditions: regions contaminated with dioxins or coal dust or those lying in considerable altitude (Andes or Himalaya Mountains).

In addition to marching in demonstrations, clergymen are welcoming Negroes to their all-white congregations in many places, and are mounting mail campaigns to Congress in support of the civil rights bill. Several Roman Catholic archdioceses now require a specific number of sermons on race relations. The National Council of Churches has budgeted $300,000 to support civil rights activities.
A Different Image. The most striking aspect of the revolt, however, is the change in Negroes themselves. The Invisible Man has now become plainly visible -- in bars, restaurants, boards of education, city commissions, civic committees, theaters and mixed social activities, as well as in jobs. Says Mississippi's N.A.A.C.P. President Aaron Henry: "There has been a re-evaluation of our slave philosophy that permitted us to be satisfied with the leftovers at the back door rather than demand a full serving at the family dinner table." With this has come a new pride in race. Explains Dr. John R. Larkins, a Negro consultant in North Carolina's Department of Public Welfare: "Negroes have a feeling of self-respect that I've never seen in all my life. They are more sophisticated now. They have begun to think, to form positive opinions of themselves. There's none of that defeatism. the American Negro has a different image of himself." Moreover, says U.C.L.A.'s Negro Psychiatrist J. Alfred Cannon, "We've got to look within ourselves for some of the answers. We must be able to identify with ourselves as Negroes. Most Negro crimes of violence are directed against other Negroes; it's a way of expressing the Negro's self-hatred. Nonviolent demonstrations are a healthy way of channeling these feelings. But they won't be effective unless the Negro accepts his own identity."
Where most Negroes once deliberately ignored their African beginnings and looked down on the blacks of that continent, many now identify strongly with Africa -- though not to the point where they would repudiate their American loyalties -- and take pride in the emergence of the new nations there. Some Negro women are affecting African-style hairdos; Negroes are decorating their homes with paintings and sculpture that reflect interest in African culture. There has been a decline in sales of "whitening" creams, hair straighteners and pomades, which for years found a big market among Negroes obsessed with ridding themselves of their racial identity.
The Lull. There has been an inevitable lull in visible civil rights activity since the March on Washington, and this has disheartened some Negroes. Says Richard L. Banks, secretary of the Governor's advisory committee on civil rights in Massachusetts: "When the Negroes are not in the streets any more, I'm awfully afraid that some of the people who responded will forget it." But the lull is deceptive, and it is probably best described by James Baldwin. Says he, "This lull is like a football huddle. People are reassessing. They are planning. We will flush the villain out."
In fact, most Negro leaders are waiting for the outcome of the civil rights still in Congress, and are counseling patience until at least the end of this month. They are also carefully gauging the position of Lyndon Johnson. So far, the President's resolute support of the civil rights bill has been encouraging. Says the Rev. L. Sylvester Odom of Denver's African Methodist Episcopal Church: "Personally I wouldn't be surprised if President Johnson gets more out of Congress than President Kennedy could have. He may not get as deeply into the hearts of the people, but he may do pretty well with the Congress, and after all that is what counts." Degrees Virginia-born Social Psychologist Thomas Pettigrew: "Johnson will be tougher with the South. He knows them. Kennedy treated the South as if it were Boston. As a Southerner, I know damn well you don't treat the South that way. Johnson won't play patty-cake with them."
Martin Luther King Jr. has already met with President Johnson, and he is similarly optimistic. "I've had a good deal of contact with him in the past several years," says King. "He means business. I think we can expect even more from him than we have had up to now. I have implicit confidence in the man, and unless he betrays his past actions, we will proceed on the basis that we have in the White House a man who is deeply committed to help us."
Thus the support of the President for strong civil rights bill provides a basis for high Negro hopes. Though Negro leaders acknowledge that laws do not change people's hearts, they want the satisfaction of knowing that a federal law support them in, for example, their demands for equal voting rights and the right to share public accommodations with white men. If the civil rights bill circumvents these specifics, or if it should fail to pass altogether, the leaders are determined to push their revolution all the more strongly in 1964.

- Abstract
- We have made the largest volume measurement to date of the transition to large-scale homogeneity in the distribution of galaxies. We use the WiggleZ survey, a spectroscopic survey of over 200 000 blue galaxies in a cosmic volume of ∼1 h−3 Gpc3. A new method of defining the 'homogeneity scale' is presented, which is more robust than methods previously used in the literature, and which can be easily compared between different surveys. Due to the large cosmic depth of WiggleZ (up to z = 1), we are able to make the first measurement of the transition to homogeneity over a range of cosmic epochs. The mean number of galaxies N(< r) in spheres of comoving radius r is proportional to r3 within 1 per cent, or equivalently the fractal dimension of the sample is within 1 per cent of D2 = 3, at radii larger than 71 ± 8 h& 8722;1Mpc at z ∼ 0.2, 70 ± 5 h−1 Mpc at z ∼ 0.4, 81 ± 5 h−1 Mpc at z ∼ 0.6 and 75 ± 4& 8201;h−1 Mpc at z ∼ 0.8. We demonstrate the robustness of our results against selection function effects, using a Λ cold dark matter (ΛCDM) N body simulation and a suite of inhomogeneous fractal distributions. The results are in excellent agreement with both the ΛCDM N-body simulation and an analytical & 0923;CDM prediction. We can exclude a fractal distribution with fractal dimension below D2 = 2.97 on scales from ∼80 h−1 Mpc up to the largest scales probed by our measurement, ∼300 h−1 Mpc, at 99.99 per cent confidence.

Eliseo Martinez
Golden Apple Scholar
Eliseo Martinez is well prepared to make an impression on the children he hopes to be teaching soon. His goal is to teach choral music in a high-needs school, and he completed his student-teaching assignment in Aurora, IL, with bilingual children. "You teach differently in bilingual situations, using more movement and linguistics," he says.
While at North Central, Eliseo played clarinet in Concert Winds and sang in Concert Choir, Chamber Choir, Voices of Praise gospel choir and in chapel services. He took lessons for clarinet, piano and voice throughout his four years. "You have to plan your time carefully," says Eliseo, who was the Outstanding Major in Music Education for 2009.
He admits that he didn't have a rigorous music preparation before attending North Central, but that didn't matter to the faculty who nurtured his progress and professional development. "The music department looks at your potential—they don't expect you to be a virtuoso when you arrive," he says. "But I knew in high school that I wanted to teach. I want to pass on my love of music and build confidence in the children I will teach some day."

What's your holiday style for gatherings?
Santa always came to my house on Christmas Eve.
I never asked why he came early, just for me. My dad would take me "away" – usually to the corner pub – and finally give me a dime to call home. Mom would say something like, "He just drove away," which let me know it was time to rush home and open presents.
I was 4 and 5 years old. I'm an only child and we lived in Baltimore at the time, far from extended family but near my dad's IBM office.
As I grew up, holidays took on a different patina, often depending on who I knew "outside" my own tight circle. Who could I join, impose on, muscle into to have the Hollywood version of a family get-together?
Alas, over the years, I've learned families don't look forward to holidays with delight. Many have a certain dread – from worrying if Uncle Harold will drink too much to being bored with Aunt Katherine's umpteenth rendition of the "roots" story to fretting about how a new boyfriend or girlfriend will be accepted by the ensemble.
I never knew many folks like George Economos, who grew up in South Dakota and has never been rootless. For him, Christmas means family – 32 people including children and grandchildren and cousins and so on.
"About 11 of those coming this year are kids from about age 1 to 14," says Economos, a retired commercial real estate broker who lives in Laguna Niguel.
"We alternate (houses) between my son and my cousin's son. It's a big party. We used to have a sit-down dinner, but now it's a buffet thing. At my son's last year, we had lamb chops and shrimp with garlic and stuff like that. And we drink wine, of course.
"Everyone loves to come. Even relatives who have an excuse to 'go to the other side' show up."
Christmas is the biggest deal, but the Economos family has get-togethers for somebody's birthday or Thanksgiving or something.
Maybe it's the wine.
Now that he's retired, Economos likes to combine personal excursions with family parties. Like deciding to visit all the national parks on his way "home" to Sioux Falls for his mother-in-law's 90th birthday party.
So he drove, alone, to Zion, Bryce, Salt Lake, Jackson Hole, Yosemite, Custer, the Black Hills.
Did we mention he's a widower? "So why should that keep me from my mother-in-law's birthday?" he asks. "She's family."
Not everyone shares Economos' perspective.
There are no familial ties – or wine good enough – to entice Carl (not his real name) to look forward to holiday time with any relatives – his own, his wife's, even yours.
"Holidays bring out the worst in people," said Carl, 54, of Santa Ana. "They fawn all over each other and don't mean a damn thing they say about love and getting together soon and all that crap.
"Yeah, my wife gets put out with me, but truth is truth."
For one man, maybe. Cypress resident Mary, 61, says she limits family holiday visits to two nights, three days. "Otherwise, you start to smell, I think. Like meat left out too long on the counter."
And then there's Suzanne, a childless singleton in Mission Viejo. Her sister is married but also childless.
"We get together for mom's sake, but after she goes, so will we," said Suzanne, 57. "I expect to move someplace cheaper than Orange County.
"When I hear 'family holiday party,' I just think 'money down the drain.'"
That kind of talk takes away Marilyn Ditty's holiday ho-ho. The CEO of Age Well Senior Services, who holds a degree in gerontological psychology, says her agency and others spend many preholiday weeks linking up seniors who need "meaningful relationships."
"It's important for them to realize that they will be miserable if they wake up at 75 and have no friends or family," she said. "It's become so meaningful in our society to spend these holidays with people who are important to us. It's part of our nation's history and culture."
People with no one have the greatest propensity for depression, she said.
"This is the time of year when the focus is on relationships – deep relationships with others."
Or maybe it's changing.
Experts say at least 25 percent of baby boomer women are childless by choice. An even greater percentage of Gen X'ers are childless.
We might be moving from a nation that focuses on family at holidays to one that relies on friendships.
What do the experts advise?
"Take a warm relaxing bath and curl up with a good book," says one site I found online.

Or try to split the pie, as I do.
Christmas Eve is still my time to entertain family, host a dinner, let them admire my Santa Claus collection before opening gifts.
Christmas Day is my time for friends, for a lengthy adult dinner – with wine – in some nice, upscale restaurant.
I savor both my ho-ho's. And never the twain shall meet.

Cheats and Walkthroughs(112)

Cheats and Walkthroughs(116)
As many of you PlayStation 3 owners are likely aware, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 saw its multiplayer mode crippled last night, right around the time a patch was released to fix an issue with trophies not unlocking properly. While it was first assumed that the patch had somehow caused multiplayer to tank, Infinity Ward creative strategist Robert Bowling revealed via Twitter that the patch had nothing to do with the outage.
"Xbox Live servers are maintained and ran by Microsoft. PSN servers are ran and maintained by 3rd party companies hired to do so," Bowling explained. He went on to say, "MP doesn't require a patch. It's a server overload not a bug in the code. They're working to have servers back up ASAP."
A few hours ago, Bowling announced that a second patch had been released, which means trophy unlocks should now be working properly in single-player and multiplayer. Bowling also said that IW is adding more servers to keep up with multiplayer demand, and that a number of those servers are starting to come online as we speak. There still might be issues for some people, but it looks like things should be up and running again smoothly soon.
Is multiplayer working for you? How did you spend your time when you weren't able to play the game online last night and today?

RANTICS…Give FSN your Best at Rockies Fest
Normally I don't get too excited when opening my email. That wasn't the case today. After finishing my physical therapy in Boulder (props to my Physical Therapist Erin), I headed home to Nederland, logged in and checked my Yahoo account. Sitting there in my inbox was an email from Tom Helmer of FSN Rocky Mountain/Root Sports with a header that said "Want to be on TV?"
That email header not only made me smile but it got my full attention. Here's what's going on. During the Rockies Fest FSN/Root Sports will be shooting a Rockies promotional commericial.
Tom asked that I round up the Rantics that will be attending Rockies Fest and we all head over to the FSN/Root Sports booth. What will happen then is you will read a few lines and then you'll be asked you to comment on some of your favorite Rockies moments and what it's like to be a Rockies fan.
Simple right? Maybe but…
You can bet they're only going to use the best ones so I suggest really putting some thought into this. How cool would it be to be in a commercial plugging the Rockies?
I don't know about you but I've yet to tire seeing myself on TV. To date that consists of a couple of quick flashes on TV while I was chasing a home run balls, the FSN Top of the Rockies Fan Choice show and hanging out at Coors Field for the post game show so I can make sure the Rockpile Ranter jersey gets some TV luv.
The Rantics are the most loyal, hardcore and supportive group of baseball fans out there. I anticipate we're going to do a great job on Saturday for FSN/Root Sports.
Rantics… Be ready and have fun with this I know the kids and I will.
Get your best Rockies gear together and I'll see you at Rockies Fest on Saturday morning.
I'm "D" The Rockpile Ranter…Just doing more of that cool stuff with the Rantics I keep telling you about…
Go Rockies…D

PITTSBURGH, PA (August 1, 2012) –The Allegheny County Airport Authority will stage a full scale emergency drill at 6 pm, Thursday, August 2, at Pittsburgh International Airport. The drill is held every three years and is required by the Federal Aviation Administration as part of the airport's operating certification under Part 139 of the Federal Aviation Regulations. Normal airport operations will not be affected nor will the airport's ability to respond to a real emergency.
"The realistic simulation of a major aircraft accident is an excellent and practical way to assess the Airport's response to an actual incident. This comprehensive exercise demonstrates that the region is prepared to respond effectively to a major aircraft incident at one of the nation's best airports," said Rich Fitzgerald, Allegheny County Executive.
"The safety of travelers and airport personnel is always the highest priority. Planning and practice for a major airfield incident is critical to ensuring the success of any emergency response," stated David Minnotte, Chairman, Allegheny County Airport Authority.
The full scale exercise is a comprehensive test of the Airport Authority's emergency management system. The actual mobilization and deployment of resources and personnel will involve dozens of the region's public safety agencies along with many volunteers as casualties.
The organizational structure of the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and Incident Command System (ICS) will be implemented for drill response and management. NIMS provides a consistent format for emergencies and is a program of FEMA.

how come yours doesn't give you an actual value past 1500
All characters appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.
The female panel maxes out at 1500.

No that looks like the female panel that labcorp has, it only goes till 1500 and it doesnt give you free test levels.
It really doesnt tell you much, you can max it out with 500mgs of test a week. At least you can take a look at other values, estro looks good.

The limit is due to the lab. I called privatemdlabs and asked which test would give an actual value. Still came back at >1500. Gotta be the individual lab
As far the lab is concerned anything over normal is high , there not

A Métis Journey: Trap Line to Vermont
A Métis friend of mine has recently been seen on the Game Show Network as part of the cast of the reality show, Family Trade. He is not the star, but his media appearances contrast with the humble beginnings of his own family, who until relatively recently, lived off the land itself.
Skariwate, of Vergennes, Vermont, grew up in this area of Turtle lsland, located a stone's throw from the picturesque waterfalls of Middlebury. His family connection to the area was his Métis grandfather, who was the last subsistence trapper on Otter Creek. Skariwate, also known as Darrell Tucker, speaks proudly of the influence the adaptable lifestyle of his grandfather, Frank Wade, had on him.
"He was the first survivalist that I ever knew." Skariwate told me, "Born in the year 1900, he lived to be 95 years young. He never had to read a book to certify himself as a survival "prepper." His whole life was based on what he could find on the end of his working trap lines. More often than not, he was successful."
This part of Vermont was an important transportation hub in the colonization of Turtle lsland. Otter Creek, one of the longest rivers in Vermont, was used to access Lake Champlain in the strategic valley dividing New York and the original Republic of Vermont. It represented the farthest colonial settlement at one point in history, an aquatic highway heavily influenced by the historical homeland of the dominant "Mohawk" culture (Kanienkehaka), located due west. Otter Creek became a traders' paradise, with lumber mills dotting the shoreline.
Bartering in these early days was quite common; a social mortar amidst different languages, customs, and value systems. The means by which to live a more comfortable life were as coveted then as they are today by many. Living off the land and providing assistance to settlers to do so created a wider community bulwark than the stereotypical Adirondack hermit who shunned others.
Skariwate's family originated in the lands north, and possibly to the west, of his present location. The intermarriage of Canadian First Nation people and the colonizing Europeans created a distinct cultural group that extended itself throughout Canada, more routinely than formal settlement later on. Presently, over 400,000 individuals self-identify themselves as Métis in Canada.
The reality television show that this Métis grandson (with a striking black moustache) appears on combines a thriving, family-owned rural automobile dealership with an offbeat system in place for payment. The patriarchal owner of this business, Gardner Stone, claims to take any "salable" priced object in trade for items that he places up for sale. Livestock, dwellings and balloon aircraft have all been accepted to date.
As part of his employment, Skariwate draws upon an extensive personal network to develop sales leads. For this reason, he is known among neighboring villages and regional First Nation territories alike. "Everyone knew my grandfather," Skariwate once let me know. "He taught me the lessons that to be successful, you have to first make yourself indispensable. That started with us, his family."
Today, the Métis are stronger in First Nation politics than ever. Recent court rulings in Canada show more recognition of this self-identity. As a sprawling community, Métis have escaped the stigma placed on them as empowered people who once rallied around Louis Riel, the famed Métis leader, who was executed by the Canadian Government in 1886. Land speculation and dispossession in the aftermath of his revolutionary efforts (he was hung after being found guilty of treason, by a jury not of his peers) increasingly punished all First Nation people, especially in the Northwest Territories where his actions commenced.
Skariwate is intrigued by the attention placed on him as a North American Indian through his media exposure. "My grandfather might just have shaken his head about all this. He had another way of looking at turns in the road. One time, someone began working his regular trap line; he went in there and cut loose the animals, so those traps came up empty. Later it turned out to be my brother, his own grandson, who admitted that he tried to push out his own trap line too far, but came up short. Frank Wade never blinked an eye while he listened. Nor did he tell him. He had been taught to know better."
As much as modern Métis have accomplished, the path ahead remains tough footing. The far-flung populations are divided symbolically by both border and distance, as well as by socio-political perception. Without a definable homeland, Turtle Island itself is one big reservation for unborn Métis generations.
My Métis friend flies the blue flag of his people in front of his home. Like his ancestors, he does the very best that he can for his people. His gift is their survival.

My Vote for National League Cy Young
This is the third in a series of four blog posts that I plan to type up between now and Friday; all of which will focus on who I feel should win the three major awards of Most Valuable Player (MVP), Cy Young and Rookie of the Year (ROY). (If you haven't read my posts on who I think should win the AL MVP, NL MVP and AL Cy Young, go ahead and check those out now.)
If you'll remember back to my post on American League Cy Young, I tend to rely purely on stats when making a pick for which player most deserves the Cy Young award. In fact, there were SO many good candidates for National League Cy Young that I ended up letting the stats make the decision for me.
I took the National League starting pitchers with ERA's below 3.00 (seven pitchers in all) and compared them from 20 different statistical angles. (I chose to use so many different stats to compare them because I felt that using Wins, ERA and strikeouts alone didn't tell the whole story of how good a particular pitcher was.)
My method works as follows: The pitcher with the best numbers in a given category receives 1 point; with the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc., place pitchers receiving the corresponding point amount. (The occurence of a tie in a particular category results in the tied players receiving the same point amount.) In the end, the pitcher with the lowest combined total would be my pick for the Cy Young award.
It took me awhile to crunch all of the numbers, but once I finally finished, this was the result:
(I realize it's a bit blurry. You can click it for a clearer look.)
For those of you that still can't read the chart (even after clicking on it) here are the results of the comparison:
Clayton Kershaw: 1st place-with a total of 61.
R.A. Dickey: 2nd place-with a total of 69.
Matt Cain: 3rd place-with a total of 72.
Gio Gonzalez: 4th place-with a total of 77.
Kyle Lohse: 5th place-with a total of 82.
Johnny Cueto: 6th place-with at total of 84.
Jordan Zimmermann: 7th place-with a total of 91.
As you can see, Clayton Kershaw came out on top, thus making him the statistical winner (and my pick) for the 2012 National League Cy Young award. (This would make his second straight Cy Young; as he won it in 2011.)
Though Kershaw's record of 14-9 would argue against it, he had an outstanding year; leading all of MLB starting pitchers in ERA. While we're on the subject of the win-loss record: I feel it can be a bit misleading.
Though 15 other National League pitchers had more wins than Kershaw (with Gio Gonzalez recording 21) the win-loss record is one of those stats that's out of the pitcher's hands for the most part. As the pitcher, you can go out there and throw a gem of a game–giving up only a couple runs–but if the lineup isn't clicking on that particular day, you're not going to get the win.
So, while it would appear at first glance that Kershaw didn't have a Cy Young worthy year, if you take the time to look closely you can clearly see that Kershaw was the NL's best all-around pitcher of the season; and as such, is my pick for 2012 National League Cy Young.
Do you agree or disagree with me?
As always, feel free to leave a comment below.

Your logic is a little flawed. You're ranking the pitchers against each other, instead of against all the other pitchers in the league. For example, instead of Kershaw getting 6 points for the number of wins, he should be getting 15 points because there are 15 other pitchers ahead of him.
Another point is that you're weighing all of these categories equally. For example, having the least number of wild pitches counts just as much as having the best ERA or the most number of strikeouts. I don't think many people would say that these stats should be weighed the same. Having K/9 as a stat AND total strikeous is misleading as well, because you're counting the same thing twice. You should have one or the other, but not both.
Just my two cents.
Hi. Thanks for the reply.
I think if you're going to use ERA as the basis of including or excluding the players from contention (and ignore win-loss record), then you are saying that ERA is more important than win-loss record. With that established, I think it is unfair to 1) Use win-loss record in your formula or 2) Weigh win-loss the same as ERA. Likewise, if you are going to use win-loss as an equally weighted statistic, then you are saying that win-loss is just as important as ERA. Therefore, someone like Zito should be included in the calculation (no way he should be in the Cy Young conversation, but he should be included in the calculation.) This means that if Kershaw is #1 overall for ERA, then he earned it. And if he is 15th overall for win-loss record, then he should get the points for it.
Right now, the system favors Kershaw because he isn't penalized for being 15th in win-loss because he only needs to be compared to 6 other players. When this bias exists, this means that another player's overall achievement is diluted and diminished.
Regarding K and K/9, (and other statistics like it)… For example, a player like Dickey can be credited for being #2 in ERA, but penalized because he had more earned runs than others. However, this is only because he pitched more innings than everyone else. So while one statistic counts total number of earned runs… the other statistic normalizes it by the total number of innings pitched. This gives a more accurate comparison because it is a rate and normalized across all players. Should Dickey be penalized for having the highest number of earned runs when he has the second lowest ERA? I don't think so. ERA is the stat to keep in this case.
Thanks for the dialogue. All the best.

"The work of priestly formation these days must involve a strong catechetical component since so many of our people have been deficiently formed. The resources you provide are allowing the Church to do a better job in preparing Catholics to know and defend their faith more effectively."

I don't have to tell you that it's been a little warm around here.
And it doesn't sound like it is going to lighten up any time soon. Then again, the calendar says that we are in the summer months.
I usually don't have much of a problem with heat, but when the thermometer moves above the 100 degree mark for several days in a row, even I have a hard time dealing with it.
I will be the first to admit that even though I work in an air-conditioned office for most of the day, it didn't take long for me to become quite the weanie with the extreme heat, but at the same time, I felt even sorrier for my husband who has been working outside in this stuff.
Hence, the air conditioning in our home has been turned on.
With central air only in the upstairs portion of our home - that's another story for another day - I drug the window air conditioner out of the closet early last week.
It didn't take long for my husband to get it all together and into the window in our laundry room. In fact, he even bypassed eating supper until the unit was up and running.
Can't say that I blame him.
But because the air conditioner blows straight across the small room into the opposite wall, we drug out a fan with hopes of helping blow the cooler air into the family room where my husband spends his evenings.
Even though the system does work, it took only a few days before my husband asked about installing a ceiling fan in the family room to help out the situation that much more.
After doing a little pricing, my husband came home with one on Saturday with high hopes of having it installed the same day.
I probably don't have to tell you this, but the light fixture is down and the fan is still sitting on our fireplace waiting to be hung. But not because of a lack of energy or ambition on my husband's part.
More so because he disassembled the ceiling light fixture only to find that there is no box to hang anything of the sort.
And while he is a handyman and jack of all trades, dealing with electricity isn't at the top of his favorite things to do and I can't blame him.
He even went so far as to place a huge piece of duct tape over the light switch, prompting me to ask if he was afraid if I would try and turn it on while he was on the ladder working.
He just looked at me.
Apparently he knows me all too well. Yes, I am one that would forget that we can't use the overhead light and try to turn it on - which would not be pretty.
Until next time, stay cool...

Grand Valley celebrates Founders Day
Posted on October 10, 2013
Grand Valley launched a new annual tradition that celebrates the efforts of L. William "Bill" Seidman, recognized as the founder of Grand Valley, and nearly 300 community members who supported his vision.
The inaugural Founders Day event was held on the Allendale Campus October 10 to accommodate attendance by Seidman family members and other founding families. The celebration included the unveiling of an iconic outdoor statue of Bill Seidman near the Cook Carillon Tower. An annual celebration will be held each year on October 25, commemorating the date Seidman organized a group effort to raise the $1 million required to receive legislative support to build a four-year college in the Grand Rapids area.
In 1960, Grand Valley became Michigan's 10th state-supported college. In 1963, Grand Valley State College enrolled its first 226 students, and has since become one of the nation's most successful regional universities. The Founders Day tradition celebrates how vision and passion culminated in a tremendous philanthropic outpouring and the establishment of Grand Valley.
During the celebration, President Thomas J. Haas greeted and thanked members of Grand Valley's founding families, and the first student to enroll at Grand Valley, Diane Paton. "We would not be here today without the vision and drive of Bill Seidman and the support he gathered," said Haas. "Though his career included working for three presidents and serving as chairman of the FDIC, he once told me that Grand Valley was his proudest accomplishment."
Tom Seidman, Bill's son, also spoke, saying that his father was "just one guy" and that the efforts of all the founding families were just as important. He joked about the features required to be included in the artist's statue of Bill Seidman, including a bicycle, since he rode one to work during his FDIC days in Washington, D.C. Also noted was his lopsided smile "that will forever look out over the campus."
David Frey, son of Edward Frey, also a founding family member, introduced the artist J. Brett Grill, a Grand Rapids native, who created the larger than life-sized bronze of Seidman. Frey invited Grill to join members of the Seidman family, Paton and Student Senate President Ricardo Benavidez to unveil the statue to the gathering of several hundred people.
Grand Valley music faculty members Dale Schriemer and Min Jin sang "High Hopes," the theme song the founders played as they traveled the region and asked for support from community organizations, area banks, businesses and labor unions, as well as individuals who gave a "buck a brick" to help transform Seidman's idea into reality.
Cake was served on the Allendale, Pew Grand Rapids and Holland campuses as well as at Grand Valley centers in Muskegon and Traverse City.

Two kittens are safe after they were found inside a box that was shipped from Los Angeles to a Cox Communications office near San Diego, Calif.
A Cox employee discovered the kittens when he opened a box that contained fiberglass equipment, KGTV reports. The newborns were curled up in the corner of the box with their umbilical cords still attached.
It's not known how the kittens got into the box in the first place, or how they were able to survive the ride in the truck without injury.
"Mouse" and "Wifi" are now receiving around-the-clock care at the San Diego Humane Society where they will stay until they are able to be put up for adoption.

Real-time responses and consistency across brands
Global Development for Global Markets
Jamie Tantleff: Deckers Outdoors offers its products all over the world. And depending on which market we're entering, we do tweak our products for that particular market. So a color way in Japan, would be different than a color way in the United States. We do offer products specifically for that market, so it is tailored to the customer.
One of our biggest challenges was just being closer to market. With PLM, we were able to take one of our brand's calendars from 90 weeks, down to 70 weeks, which allows us to be on-trend, closer to market, and overall, deliver better quality products.
Greater Visibility, Better Decisions
Pam Buckingham: Having visibility early on in the product development cycle is absolutely critical to having alignment for a global team. The best example I can give right now is, our Teva team, using some of the tools within PLM, and addressing our critical path, we were able to have samples for every color way for our FLR, rather than just CAD drawings. And that was able to provide the global team to do forecasting way earlier than we had previously. So that's just one example of having visibility early in the line to provide more accurate data faster.
Jamie Tantleff: Having visibility allows our teams to be flexible in decision making. PLM allows them to go into one central place, update something, and it populates wherever that data is used, rather than having to go into hundreds of different spreadsheets to change it. For instance, if a material supplier is no longer viable, all we have to do is change it in one area, and it fixes it wherever else it was used.
Technology + People = Success
Pam Buckingham: PLM technology is wonderful, and it helps business processes without a doubt. But oftentimes, I think the people portion is overlooked. Technology will not be successful if you don't manage the change in people. You're taking people who are experts in their fields, top at what they do, and saying, "You need to learn how to do your job all over again, but I'm going to help you with that." And you have to be dedicated to partner with those people, so that it truly is a team, and it's not totally technology-focused. There is a big people portion that has to be addressed, in order to have great user adoption and be completely successful.
PLM Adoption
Jamie Tantleff: Deckers Outdoor is a global company. We have offices, not only all around the United States, but also, all around the world. And being able to communicate with all of our team members, in real-time, has been a huge advantage with having PLM. We're able to have everyone looking at the same information, at the same time, and know that we're going to make quality product because of that.

HIGHLIGHTS OF PORTUGAL (8D/7N)from €440
Tour Length:
8 days, 7 nights
Tour Themes:
When To Go:
All Year
The Grande Hotel do Porto opened its doors in 27th March 1880. It was thought to be the first "Grand Hotel" in town with all the glory of the end of the century. Opposite to everything that was made then, the luxury of the hotel could be seen in many details of its interior decoration: the French mirrors, the golden florins, the sumptuous marble columns.Along the years of its existence it was the set for many encounters of Porto's high society. Politicians, writers, spies, war refugees, artist and nobility members have passed through the Hotel along the years.Today, the charm of the past days can still be felt. The last refurbishment made in 2002, respected the classic features of the original model. The heritage of "Grand Hotel" is still visible in many details like its late Victorian facade and elaborate exterior detailing or many of the interior décor details.With more than a century old, Grande Hotel do Porto is the oldest hotel still functioning in town. Witness of several decades, it reaches nowadays as a charming hotel, where detail makes the difference and where you will find cosy and relax environment to enjoy a good rest.


text: Can anyone tell me how to tell when the hindmilk starts flowing? I am dealing w/oversupply issue & trying to block nurse to help correct it, although son doesn't like that, he REALLY prefers one breast over the other. After 2 days he is still having watery, greenish, & sometimes foamy stools. According to the website this means he is getting an imbalance of foremilk & hindmilk. That can cause gassiness too & more frequent feedings because he isn't getting satisfied w/the fattier milk. I also can't tell if he is emptying a breast. They do get softer but how do you tell if he's fed enough to get the hindmilk & empty the breast?

This might be the most massive album I've ever heard. What an album. Pretty much the definition of black/funeral doom metal.
Written by Apothecary on 04.10.2014 at 19:44
Seriously. Coming back to it today and I gotta say, if this isn't hailed as a classic within the next 5-10 years, something is wrong with the universe.
Written by Erik M. on 05.10.2014 at 22:45
Since we're genre nitpicking (on Facebook), I think this is pretty damn melodic for a funeral black/doom album.
