Philadelphia Phillies (64-70) at Cincinnati Reds (82-54)
Kyle Kendrick (8-9, 4.01) vs. Mat Latos (11-4, 3.79)
Time: 7:10, Great American Ballpark
Weather: Partly Cloudy, 82
Media: Twitter and Facebook
The Phillies showed why other teams do not sleep on them. They played sound baseball in the 4-2 win on Monday afternoon. The story was Tyler Cloyd, but Jimmy Rollins chipped in and gave them all the offense they needed. This team can still beat you in several different ways.
Perhaps the wild card is out of the question in the NL, unless the Phillies go on a torrid run here. It seems like a matter of too little, too late, unfortunately. But that hasn't stopped the Phillies from playing very well recently. They're 19-13 since the beginning of August and have pushed themselves out of the gutter and into third place. Respectability is right around the corner as .500 is within grasp.Wait…is the wild card in reach? How many wins will that second wild card need? 85? 86?
As for tonight, Mat Latos provides a problem for Ryan Howard. The Piece is 0-for-8 with 8 strikeouts against him. Ouch.
Chase Utley was also seen working on ground balls at third base.
Joey Votto is off the DL for the Reds, but will not start. Thankfully.
LINEUP: Rollins SS, Frandsen 3B, Utley 2B, Howard 1B, Mayberry CF, Brown LF, Schierholtz RF, Kratz C, Kendrick P

Why do we think "Nate" is good? How about lets try JMJ as an everyday Of'er. He does have a 5gm hitting streak going.
I used the quotes bc someone made fun of me and rightfully so for attempting to spell Schienholtz (again butchered) yesterday in a post.
Ryan Howard wake up vs this guy tonight.
It's always awkward w KK on the mound. The past has proven not to trust him. But how can you not scream for jellybeans over his past 4 games?!?!!!
Also, I saw everything about BabeRUF not suiting up for us this season, but why can we not bounce NoMART (bc we have Petey Orr) and use Ruf w that spot?
Let's win tonight!!!!!
Schierholtz has hit pretty well vs. Righties the past 2-3 years, and is good defensively. I donkt know that anyone sees him as an everyday player.
And on Ruf, again he has playoff games to help Reading win, so they're not going to screw that up when they big club isn't in a race.
Tonight Cincy's gonna blow the doors off the Philly's pitching.
Now that you mentioned Howard's futility vs Latos, I'm sure there will be at least 2 hits one a smash.
So after enduring MiniMart starting in right for a few games too many we're now complaining about Nate Schierholtz?? Really? I just don't get Phillies fans sometimes…
Time for some Down Town D Brown!
Ummm… Did the umpires just make up some rules there or something?
My reaction to that is Jay Bruce does that to a lot of pitchers. What a player to have playing second fiddle to Votto. Not a terrible pitch, but location was too much in his power zone. With the Reds pen, it's tough. But not impossible.
3 up and 3 down? nah, too good to be true
Leash is short, right Cholly?
No way that Broxton finishes the Phils untouched
Dusty managed that one by feel, or saw something. Chase was 3-7 against Broxton prior to that AB.If those raw numbers mean anything.
I wonder if Charlie will retire after this season and give the team to Sandberg.
And Brooks any shot the Phils make contact in the 9th?
But first we get to enjoy an inning of BJ Rosenberg.
Outtatown scoreboard…good stuff…O's 12, Jays, zip, and the Rays lead the Yanks, 5-2. The way I figger it, if the Yanks don't make the playoffs, and if Valentine gets axed, Red Sox Nation will consider it a very good year. Kinda like Iggle fans when if you were 2-12, it was cool, long as it was 2 wins against Dallas.
It's too bad Rosenburger cannot control his heat – I believe he throws the hardest on the Phils presently but that 12.71 ERA kinda gives the advantage to the batters
Phils are sleeping in tonight Andrew.
Go BJ Go.. I mean really, go on now.
Bruce is becoming more and more like McCann –
OM Goodness … when was the last time we saw the Freaky Dieky?
Have no fear
Diekman is here!
July the 29th –
July 29th – I see the fog is starting to clear up some
None of these gusy even deserve to be in spring training next year.
Need to sign about 7 relievers.
Really short leash – you go Cholly
Yes, much better control, good move
Scotty has looked as old as he is all night long
One swing of the mighty bat and this game goes to extra innings…
Well, fwiw, Howard's 0-2 off Aroldis, but put the ball in play both times. Either a good sign, or due to K.
I think we can I think we can I think we can.
12 pitches, 11 fastballs and 1 slider.
And nobody can catch up to him.
Cholly sees something here… I know it!
Wonder what the thought process is that leads to a decision to let Howard face Chapman, but pull Brown. I get that Howard can theoretically jerk one, but Brown's a contact guy. I guess politics don't work that way.
I was shocked that Howard had before made contact vs Chapman.
Id not let Howard ever face a lefty in the 8th or 9th of a 1 run game.
4 hits.
Phils are in mid season form in sept.
12 45 tomorrow guys!
There is always tomorrow!
Hopefully that was our sleeper tonight Andrew.
It is so odd and very temporary that the Orioles are in first place in the AL East.
What a BS call that was in the 4th inning. How could you call that a catch? And if it wasn't how can there be a force at the plate if you already tagged second? Does MLB have replacement umps too? Unbelievable.
It was ruled a catch — blown call obviously — so the runner on 2nd was doubled off for the 3rd out.
I know that, but when you see a team make a delayed throw home, after recording 2 outs- that should tell the clueless umps that the Reds knew the play wasn't over. It's like when a guy misses a bag or plate and tries to go back and gets tagged out- even if you called him safe initially, you gotta change the call.
If the ball was a catch and the throw to second was out #2, the Reds wouldn't throw home. And once the runner on second is ruled out, then the runner on third is no longer forced to run home, so stepping on the plate is not a force.
Whatever, it's still a BS call.
If the ball was a catch the throw to second is out #3.
Right, and what happens after out number three. The defense leaves the field and goes to it's dugout. Did the Reds do that? No they tried to make more outs. Why? because they wanted to make 4 or 5 outs? Because maybe they would count toward next inning?
They were telling the umps it was not a catch.
And the blue crew last night remained clueless.
Yes — agreed.
I can't even get upset about it anymore.

Cablegate One Year Later: How WikiLeaks Has Influenced Foreign Policy, Journalism, and the First Amendment
One year ago today, WikiLeaks started publishing a trove of over 250,000 leaked U.S. State Department cables, which have since formed the basis of reporting for newspapers around the globe. The publication has given the public a window into the inner workings of government at an unprecedented scale, and in the process, has transformed journalism in the digital age.
Today mobile software company Carrier IQ withdrew (pdf) a bogus legal threat to a security researcher who published an analysis of the company's software, as well as training materials on which he based his research.
Last week, Trevor Eckhart published a detailed article pointing out that Carrier IQ's software logs a great deal of information about users' activities without their knowledge. Attempting to suppress his research, Carrier IQ fired off a baseless cease-and-desist demand (pdf) claiming that Eckhart infringed the company's copyrights and made "false allegations" about their software.
Last week, security researcher Trevor Eckhart posted an analysis of software produced by Carrier IQ, which describes itself as "the world's leading provider of Mobile Service Intelligence solutions." Eckhart concluded that the software, which comes by default on many mobile devices and runs quietly in the background, logs extensive details about users' activities. Eckhart not only documented the functionality of the software, but learned even more about how it works through training materials posted on the Carrier IQ website. Fearing the company would take the files offline after he posted his analysis, he mirrored the training materials to let others independently verify his conclusions.
In early September, EFF was among the first to report on evidence published by activist collective Telecomix that Blue Coat technology was being used by the Syrian government to conduct surveillance. Following a release of more detailed log files as well as a more detailed report from our friends at Global Voices Advocacy, Mother Jones produced a detailed report, followed shortly by other publications. Prominent security expert Bruce Schneier then offered his take, stating: "Bet you anything that the Syrian Blue Coat products are re
One of the most grave threats to free expression in many countries these days is the intimidation and persecution of bloggers and online journalists. The effects are often far-reaching as bloggers are scared into silence. While the Arab Spring has brought about many positive changes throughout the region, several Middle Eastern countries continue to take measures to silence bloggers. This issue is not, of course, limited to the Middle East. In Thailand, web editor Jiew still faces up to fifteen years in prison, while US-Thai citizen Joe Wichai Commart Gordon pleaded guilty on charges of lèse majesté--a charge that can result in a prison sentence of up to fifteen years--and faces sentencing on November 9. In Mexico, bloggers and online activists may face an even worse fate.

- A QoS-aware exception handling method in scientific workflow execution
- Author(s)
- Qi, Lianyong; Lin, Wenmin; Dou, Wanchun; Jiang, Jian; Chen, Jinjun
- Abstract
- Scientific workflow is gaining ever-increasing attention as it integrates a wide range of heterogeneous services to enable and accelerate the scientific discovery processes. However, the exception occurred in a scientific workflow execution often decreases the robustness of a scientific workflow system. For example, if a service engaged in a scientific workflow schedule becomes unavailable during its execution, an exception might be raised and the whole workflow execution may be interrupted unexpectedly. In this situation, it is a challenge to smooth the interrupted workflow execution. In view of this challenge, an exception handling method, named RelaxingMe (constraints Relaxing Method, RelaxingMe) is proposed in this paper. This method aims at relaxing the original QoS constraint values requested by the interrupted task node, in order to find a near-to-optimal candidate service to replace the unavailable one. At last, the feasibility of our method is evaluated by an experiment.

The Michaels Development Company and Vitus Group, together with the Hawaii Public Housing Authority, held a blessing ceremony Thursday to celebrate the successful completion of its $135 million renovation of The Towers at Kuhio Park, formerly called Kuhio Park Terrace.
This project marks the first public-private partnership in Hawaii between the state and private developers to transform public housing.
Construction began in 2011 and included major infrastructure upgrades, approximately $97,000 of improvements to each of the 555 units and enhanced facilities for social service programs and recreational activities.
"Our goal is to provide quality housing and create a sense of community for the more than 500 families that call The Towers of Kuhio Park home. We are extremely pleased to deliver this project ahead of schedule and within budget," said Monika Mordasini, vice president, Michaels Development Company. "While we faced many challenges along the way in modernizing this 48-year-old complex, the entire renovation was completed efficiently, successfully and with minimal disruptions to the residents."
During the two-year renovation project, more than 350 jobs were created and $56 million was expended to local businesses. Local design and construction partners included Architects Hawaii, Ltd., Albert C. Kobayashi, Inc., Community Planning & Engineering, Inc. and MVE-Pacific, Inc.
To modernize the apartments, original narrow galleys kitchens were replaced with L-shaped kitchens allowing for more space, flow and cabinetry. Each unit received brand new interior finishes, flooring, windows, doors, energy efficient appliances, plumbing and electrical fixtures. To increase living space and natural lighting, each apartment's lanais were enclosed. Thirty-three apartments were reconfigured for handicap accessibility and 12 visual/hearing impaired units were created. Updates to the exterior included island inspired decorative screening, a vibrant paint scheme for the façade, and a redesigned entrance to the Towers that give it a bright and welcoming experience. Sustainable building strategies were used including the installation of photovoltaic solar panels, low flow plumbing, energy-efficient appliances and low impact, indigenous landscaping.
"Through this partnership between private and public agencies, we were able to provide high-quality affordable housing to the residents of The Towers at Kuhio Park," said Makani Maeva, director of Vitus Group's Hawaii office. "In addition to the building and unit upgrades, the residents also have a renewed sense of pride in their community which is evident through the positive feedback we've been receiving."
When originally built in the mid-1960's, Kuhio Park Terrace and Kuhio Homes in Kalihi was the largest existing public housing complex in the state of Hawaii with more than 700 units. In 2009, Michaels Development Company and Vitus Group were selected by HPHA to design, develop and provide property management services for a multi-phased $332 million dollar revitalization program.
The $135 million renovation of The Towers at Kuhio Park completes the first phase and is the centerpiece of the revitalization with 555 state of the art affordable housing apartments. Under the partnership, HPHA still owns the land and Michaels Development Company owns The Towers which it manages through their property management affiliate, Interstate Realty Management.

As part of the renovations, the Towers at Kuhio Park now features two new technology centers, a renovated 4,000 square-foot community hall, community garden, hospitality suites, expanded medical clinic, and larger laundry facilities. The renovations also included the conversion of 12,000 square-feet of ground floor space into social service rooms that offer a variety of programs including job training and fitness classes. Local non-profits with a 40 year legacy of providing services to the residents include Parents & Children Together (PACT), Hawaii Literacy, Kokua Kalihi Valley Comprehensive Family Services (KKV) and Susannah Wesley Community Center.
"I am so thankful for the renovation to my home and to the entire community. It's not just the physical changes that have been made, but a change in the whole feeling of the place," said Rochelle Akiona, a resident of the Towers for over 10 years.
The project was funded primarily through a combination of $66 million in tax-exempt bonds and close to $48 million in low-income housing tax credits (LIHTC) equity. A team of corporate partners led by AEGON committed the low-income housing tax credit equity to the development. For the construction and permanent loans, Citibank used the proceeds of bonds issued by the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation (HHFDC). The bonds were credit enhanced by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac). The HPHA also provided seller financing for the acquisition of the improvements and subordinated a loan to fund major system renovations for work that was underway by HPHA during the transfer of the property.

Benefits of Mammography
By Health Day
A new review on the benefits and risks of mammography is bound to add more fuel to the fiery debate over screening. Different studies each came to different conclusions about the number of women who must be screened to prevent one breast cancer death-with estimates ranging from 111 to 2,000. The researchers wanted to know why there was such a big range, so they reviewed the data and discovered the estimates were all based on different situations, from different age groups to different screening and follow-up periods. They re-examined the data using the same statistical yard stick. including similar target populations, similar exposure to screening and similar duration of follow-up. The results? When crunching the numbers this way.... mammograms proved to be a major help in finding cancer, and preventing death. The estimates for the number of women who must be screened to prevent one death dropped dramatically now ranging from 64 to 257.The researchers say these findings leave little doubt about the effectiveness of mammography though they acknowledge that the debate and differences of opinion on screening will continue.
The US Preventive Services Task Force currently recommends mammography for women aged 50 to 74 years every 2 years.
The American Cancer Society recommends yearly mammograms starting at age 40.

it definately could be a growth spurt. there really is no set 'time' for them. My son was about 5.5 months when I noticed something similar going on. His sleeping, eating, and behavior was changing...it did pass, and I can understand your frustration, because the waiting is killer. Just hang in there! I do agree, if you have a pump, perhaps try pumping your milk if you can?
How often does she get a bottle?? Maybe some nipple confusion is going on? The flow of the bottle is so different, maybe hold off on the bottle for a few days and see what happens?? She will eat when she is hungry, just maybe follow her cues for a while, instead of offering every X hours *if that is what you do, not sure*
Sorry this is so jumbled, just trying to throw out a few ideas. I hope things calm down soon!!

Most people have living rooms twice the size of these tiny homes.
The members of Occupy Madison are constructing the first of these small shelters, which is already spoken for. The couple that will own it at the end of the month have to put in 100 hours of work and pay the cost of materials back over time.
Steve Burns works for Madison College as a math teacher, but in during his summer, he's running the shop where the homes are made. He said the structure, which includes a kitchen, storage space, and a compost toilet, is only 98 square feet.
"It's for people at this point might be living in a tent or not have, so people aren't moving from a 5,000-square foot house into tiny house," Burns explained. "They're moving up into a tiny house."
The idea is based on other cities' success with the small-scale homes. Places like Olympia, Wash., and Portland, Ore., have supported the concept and have communities of 30-40 homes.
"It's a proper housing. It's safe housing. It's what we heard that people wanted," Burns said.
At this point, there is no permanent spot for this tiny home town in Madison. Homeless advocate Brenda Konkel said they can't establish such a space without a change to the city's zoning code.
"In order for us to do anything, we're going to need some sort of change, or go outside the city of Madison," Konkel said.
Until their search for a location is complete, Konkel said the tiny homes will be built on mobile trailers and moved along Madison streets every 48 hours. While the situation isn't optimal, Konkel said a secure place to call home is better than the current option of camping out.
"If we spend $12,000 on camping, that would be it and it would be done, but we would have nothing to show for it. If we spend $12,000 on tiny homes, we're building something for people to have a future," Konkel said.
"This is an effort to build something that would be acceptable, that is good enough," Burns said.
Burns said the group hopes to have the first home finished by the end of the month.
A call to the Mayor Paul Soglin's office on the tiny house concept went unreturned Wednesday.

Bradford store wins top retail awardPROVIDED PHOTO
The Farm-Way store of Bradford was named the 2013 Vermont Retailer of the Year. From left are owners Paul and Bobbie Gallerani; Shelby Metayer, manager; Carol Metayer, president; Skip Metayer, vice president; and Paul Metayer, manager.
Farm-Way, a Bradford company that once sold only feed and livestock supplies, was named the 2013 Retailer of the Year by the Vermont Retail Association.
Customers who shop the Bradford store rave about it, said Tasha Wallis, the VRA executive director.
People who shop there have a great retail experience and keep coming back, Wallis said.
She said the store is such a draw its become an official Vermont Attraction.
Theyve really created this destination in a place thats a little off the main drag, she said.
When the Metayer and Gallerani families started the business in 1983, the store sold feed and livestock supplies out of an old Purina Mills building. Today, it sells work and recreation clothing, outdoor gear and even housewares.
With name brands that include Patagonia, Columbia, The North Face and Merrell, Farm-Way has $4 million in inventory. Annual sales are $10 million with a customer base that extends beyond the U.S. and Canada to overseas.
The store employs 33 full-time and two part-time workers.
Owner Paul Gallerani said one reason customers are attracted to the store is because of the variety of products, name brands, frequent sales and customer service. There is even an area where customers can exercise their dogs.
But most importantly, Gallerani said, its run like an old family business.
The basic thing is we have a lot of good people working for us (which creates) a whole atmosphere of being a family business, he said.
Gallerani said the store keeps regular hours, is only open one night a week, and is closed Sundays, which employees appreciate.
The original building at 286 Waits River Road has expanded over the years to its current size of 30,000 square feet. Another expansion is being planned, Gallerani said.
Farm-Ways commitment to the environment includes reducing its carbon footprint. It receives 43 percent of its electricity from a 59.5 kW solar array system located on the stores 17 acres.
Other winners for 2013 were:
Advance Music, Burlington Community Gem award
In 1992, owner Mike Trombley left his job at a local design and engineering firm to pursue his passion for music. He purchased a half interest in Advance Music Center with the dream of turning his hobby into a career.
In 1997, Trombley bought out his partner and by the following year began diversifying and expanding the business.
He started a music lesson program, which now has seven instructors and more than 200 students. In 2001, he added Advance System Design, a division specializing in design, integration, and installation of audio/video solutions.
Four years ago, Trombley bought MusiCraft, a Waitsfield company specializing in instrument sales, rentals, and repairs. The store also has an electronic and stringed instrument repair department.
The company has 22 full- and part-time employees.
Vermont Farm Table, Burlington - Greentailer of the Year Award
Dustin Glasscoe started the eco-friendly furniture business in 2008 in his Shelburne garage, using reclaimed materials and non-toxic finishes as opposed to an industry dominated by high-gloss, manufactured veneers and lacquer-finished hardwoods.
Glasscoe takes material from barns, silos and old structures like the old Waterbury train station. Roughly 50 percent of sales are products made from reclaimed woods.
Through its wood buying, the business also helps support family farms. All woods used are sustainably grown and harvested. Finishes are nontoxic and waste is kept to a minimum.
Awards will be presented at a luncheon Sept. 10, at Boyden Valley Winery in Cambridge.

Headlines (News Releases)
Laurier Toronto
Shortlist announced for the 2011 Edna Staebler Award for Creative Non-Fiction
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Sep 1/11| For Immediate Release
Kevin Crowley, Director, Communications & Public Affairs
WATERLOO Three books have been shortlisted for the 2011 Edna Staebler Award for Creative Non-Fiction. The $10,000 award, administered by Wilfrid Laurier University, encourages and recognizes Canadian writers for a first or second work of creative non-fiction that includes a Canadian locale and/or significance. The award is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, coinciding with Lauriers centennial.
Award juror and Laurier professor Tanis MacDonald said the books shortlisted for this years award are different from each other in tone, style and subject matter, but similar in that they all address issues of defining or redefining the self through a search for family.
All three authors focus on a determined search for cohesive community that is complicated by missed or missing connections. Their search for meaning and value in contemporary life is haunted by the histories that have been ignored, buried or shrugged away, said MacDonald. Each book in its own way is about finding space for history and finding oneself inside that history.
The books on the 2011 shortlist are:
Jew and Improved: How Choosing to be Chosen Made Me a Better Man by Benjamin Errett. A thoughtful narrative about the experience of converting to Judaism in contemporary Canada, Erretts Jew and Improved is thorough in its examination of culture and gently humorous about the ways that belief defines us. From his decision to convert upon his engagement to a Jewish woman, through his conversion classes and first-time participation in the high holidays, to the wedding ceremony beneath the chuppah, Errett considers the mix of traditions, texts and histories of which Judaism is composed, and writes of his entry into them as into the spirit of family.
Adventures in Solitude by Grant Lawrence. Adventures in Solitude is Lawrences recollection of growing up in British Columbia and visiting his familys cabin in Desolation Sound. His childhood resentment of these forced excursions into the wilderness led to him alienating himself from family and cabin. Lawrence tells the story of how he learned to reconnect with his family through the landscape, and as the boy matures into adulthood he at last claims the cabin as his own. Narrated with humour and compassion, and enhanced with historical details about both captains Cook and Vancouver charting the waters off the coast of British Columbia, Adventures in Solitude is a compelling personal memoir.
Letters from the Lost: A Memoir of Discovery by Helen Waldstein Wilkes. At age 60, Waldstein Wilkes opens a small box that was left by her father in their southern Ontario home. The box holds letters from the lost letters from family members left behind in Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia. The author follows the letters trail back to Europe to discover that the lost homeland, past and family are part of her self. Letters from the Lost weaves letters, imaginary conversations and Waldstein Wilkes search for answers into a cathartic narrative of what it means to be a Jew, a survivor and a family member without a family.
The winner of the Edna Staebler Award for Creative Non-Fiction will be announced Sept. 7, 2011.
The award will be presented at a special centennial ceremony Oct. 4, 2011, in Waterloo, with author readings planned for the Brantford campus and Toronto office.
About the Edna Staebler Award for Creative Non-Fiction
Established and endowed by writer and literary journalist Edna Staebler, the Edna Staebler Award for Creative Non-Fiction is administered by Wilfrid Laurier University, the only university in Canada to bestow a nationally recognized literary award. Staebler, who died in 2006, was an award-winning journalist and a member of the Order of Canada. Designed to encourage new Canadian talent, the award is open to authors who have published a first or second book with a Canadian locale and/or significance. Winning books are distinguished by first-hand research, well-crafted interpretive writing and a creative use of language or approach to the subject matter. Previous winners include authors Linden MacIntyre, Wayson Choy and Elizabeth Hay.

It was the end of an era today for Saint Luke's United Methodist Church on La Crosse's north side.
After nearly 160 faithful years, it held its final service Sunday morning.
Church leaders said the move is a good thing, not only for the church but the community.
"It's just sad to lose something you love," said Dolores Teachout, a longtime church member.
Teachout became a member back in 1951. Throughout the years, she's created some very fond memories inside the church's walls.
"I was married here, my children were all baptized here, I had a son that was buried here," said Teachout. " My in-laws come here for about six generations, so I have a lot of love for this church."
Like many churches across the nation, St. Luke's isn't immune to the reality of declining membership, but the church's administrator, Trish Clifford, said the church has found a way to become stronger -- by combining congregations with the Asbury United Methodist church on the city's south side.
"Our ministries will be more strong," said Clifford. "We'll be a better presence in the community. There are lots of opportunities for spiritual growth for us as well as helping the community out."
Together, the two churches will form a 125-member congregation.
While this may be the end of one era, Teachout says the next one has a bright future.
"I'm optimistic, but I don't think I'm excited," said Teachout. "But I know we have to do it."
St. Luke's won't be closing its doors for good. The weekly Monday night meals and the food pantry will still be held at the church.

Stock Futures Gain as Yen Drops to Four-Year Low, German Exports Rise
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Stock futures were pointing to a rebound Friday as overseas markets rallied on big yen-to-greenback moves driven by optimism about the U.S. economy and an encouraging German economic report.
G-7 finance ministers and central bank chiefs begin a two-day meeting in the U.K., where they are expected to talk about ways to bolster the slow global economic recovery.
"It's a headline-moving market and early headlines are focusing on the yen and German March trade data," Jonathan Corpina, senior managing partner at Meridian Equity Partners said in an email.
Futures for the S&P 500 were rising 1.5 points, or 2.83 points above fair value, to 1,626.
Gold Fields
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were higher by 21 points, or 25.38 points above fair value, to 15,065. Futures for the Nasdaq were ahead by 5.5 points, or 6.18 points above fair value, to 2,963.5.
The Nikkei 225 in Japan settled higher by 2.9% to a five-and-a-half year high of 14,607.54 led by exporter and financial stocks as the Japanese currency breached the 100 yen to U.S. dollar mark for the first time since April 2009 as investors became more optimistic about the U.S. economy after strong reports on the U.S. labor market. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index finished up 0.47% to 23,321.22, its highest level in nearly three months, spearheaded by cyclical stocks, despite mixed China data.
European markets gained after the Federal Statistics Office in Wiesbaden reported that German exports rose in March after falling in February, fueling optimism that Europe's biggest economy is improving from the contraction that set in at the end of 2012 and after a handful of stronger-than-anticipated corporate earnings releases.
The FTSE 100 in the U.K. was rising 0.14% while the DAX in Germany was gaining 0.19%, both easing off intraday highs.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is expected to begin speaking at the Chicago Fed banking conference at 9:30 a.m. EDT.

Chuck D kicks off MLK week
Posted on January 20, 2014
A standing-room-only audience packed into Kirkhof Center on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day to hear from legendary rapper Chuck D.
The founder of Public Enemy was the keynote speaker to kick off the start of Grand Valley's MLK Commemoration Week on January 20.
Speaking for nearly an hour, he emphasized the importance of earning a college degree and learning more about the world. "Dr. King wanted his children to be known for their character, not their characteristics," he said. "To design your insides takes grinding."
He also reminded the audience why they were there. "This is not a day off; it's a day to think about why we do this, it's a day of reflection and thought," he said.
Then he pushed the audience into action by referencing a Third World song "Now That We Found Love."
"What are you gonna do with what you know?" he said.
Prior to Chuck D's presentation, the audience heard from the Fisk Jubilee Singers, from Fisk University. The gospel choir's appearance was made possible by the collaboration of Seidman College of Business and Fisk University (H. James Williams, president of Fisk University, and Carole Williams).
Before introducing the choir, H. James Williams said it was good be back at Grand Valley. Williams served as dean of Seidman College of Business.
"I've learned a lot about how to run an organization," Williams said. "Grand Valley knows how to do it correctly, and I've taken a lot of that knowledge with me to Nashville."
The day started with concurrent social justice activities, and hundreds of people participated in poverty simulations or upcycling events. Events will continue through Saturday. Next is the second keynote presentation by Jeff Johnson on Wednesday, January 22. Visit www.gvsu.edu/mlk for details.

33rd Annual Flight and Ground Vehicle Simulation Courses
Main Course: January 23-27, 2017
- Week long program featuring 10 distinguished expert lecturers
Four Specialized Short Courses: January 30-31, 2017
- Visual System Specifications and Acceptance Tests with Roy Latham
- Visual Database Design with Olen Atkins
- Simulation Interoperability Standards with Saikou Y. Diallo, Ph.D.
- Next Generation Display System Requirements, Metrics and Measurements with Charles Lloyd
Presented by Binghamton University's Thomas J. Watson School of Engineering and Applied Science in cooperation with American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AAIA) Modeling and Simulation Technical Committee
In 1929 Edwin A. Link, "the Father of Flight Simulation", received his first patent for his pilot trainer in Binghamton, NY. What Link started as a simple and ingenious way of training pilots, has evolved into an integral part of the engineering design process of air and ground vehicles. Simulation not only saves lives, time, money and the environment, it provides a means to train for tasks that cannot be done on a real system.
For the last thirty years, Binghamton University has proudly hosted the Flight and Ground Vehicle Simulation courses. Technical training provides a significant return on investment and educates leaders in the field.
The revolutionary "Blue Box" or "Link Trainer" started the now multi-billion dollar flight simulation industry. The greater Binghamton area continues to shape the field as it is home to numerous companies involved in the business of flight simulation.
Take advantage of this opportunity to have world-renowned simulation experts guide you and your staff during your visit to the "Cradle of Flight Simulation." Offerings include our 5-day Flight and Ground Vehicle Simulation main course and 2-day specialized courses in Visual Database Design, Visual System Specification & Acceptance Tests, System Interoperability Standards and Next Generation Display System Requirements, Metrics and Measurements
Click for a printable PDF of the 2017 brochure
Who Should Attend
The course is suitable for people from a range of backgrounds working (or planning to work) in the simulator industry and for anyone seeking an overview of modern flight simulation. While introducing the key technologies, the course does not deal in detail with the technical methods.
- Engineers
- System hardware and software specialists
- Managers, and simulation support personnel
- Product sales/marketing representatives
- Professionals associated with the specification, design, testing, implementation, or acquisition
- Those involved in all aspects of contract administration or procurement
- Industry, government, military, and university personnel
The course will take place on the Binghamton University Campus in Vestal, New York. Please see the travel section for maps and directions. (Click here for special hotel rates offered to our 2017 attendees.)

The seven comprise the Pettus school board. The agenda contained one salient item—"discussion and possible action regarding the employment and duties of the superintendent" following an executive session with the board's attorney, Tony Resendez, of Walsh, Anderson, Gallegos, Green and Trevino, a law firm based in Austin specializing in representing school districts.
If a 'standing room only' crowd was not sufficient evidence that it would be a contentious meeting, the opening prayer, led by board president Joe Constante, was.
"...Transform this present moment into an hour of vision and inspiration... shed your light on us, so that we may see which decision to make... help us... to avoid vanity and pride and, thus, be able to make worthy decisions..."
The board is split 4 to 3, with the majority wanting to fire Superintendent Brian Thompson for reasons that have, thus far, only been discussed in executive session and therefore unavailable to the public.
Its decision has so upset the school that three coaches and the school's athletic director have resigned; other instructors are threatening to follow suit.
The staff members are not the only ones upset, evidenced by the 29 Pettus residents in the room eager to voice their disapproval.
Constante would not have it.
As he moved to put the board into executive session, board member Rudy Moreno, one of the three board members in the minority, interrupted by making a motion to allow public comment so that the members in the crowd could speak.
"It is not on the agenda," he declared, "and that's board policy. If you would read your policy manual once in a while, you would know our policies. Before you come into a meeting like this and make a motion, make sure you read them."
"I have the policy right in front of us," replied board Vice President Caryel Kruger, another member of the minority.
"Caryel," Constante said, "you make your rules as you go..."
"No, I don't, sir," she countered, showing a copy of the policy. "I printed this from the Internet."
Under Pettus ISD policy, Kruger said, "'any trustee may request that a subject be included on the agenda for a meeting (not just a regular meeting, but any meeting)...and the board president shall not have the authority to remove from the agenda a subject requested by a trustee without that trustee's specific authorization,' and does not include your bullying us with your attorney."
Constante noted that the policy requires public comment at regular meetings, but not specifically at special called meetings, "because we don't want to have public comment at every called meeting that we have."
With that, six minutes after convening the meeting, the board went into executive session, which required the 29 observers to file out into the hall.
"They don't want anyone to talk," muttered one as he left the room.
That didn't bother computer instructor Laura Warnix, who voiced her opinion of the board's action while only a thin wall separated her from the board members. "I don't care if they hear me. What are they going to do, fire me? I'll just go home early." She is retiring at the end of the school year.
Thompson was advised not to speak by his attorney, Tony Conners, of the Austin law firm Brim, Arnett, Robinett and Conners—a firm hired by the Association of Texas Professional Educators to represent superintendents. Conners represented Dr. Brett Belmarez, who resigned as superintendent of the Skidmore-Tynan school district last December.
Despite the gag rule, Thompson still managed to look confident, engaging in conversations and milling in the crowd, enjoying his popularity, seemingly with everyone except for a few board members. He was named superintendent in the spring of last year, replacing Tucker Rackley, who was retiring. Previously, he was the district's secondary school principal. His appointment as superintendent followed a 4-3 vote.
While the board deliberated behind closed doors—anonymous sources described it at heated, almost violent—Pettus school students were taping "We Support Thompson" signs on the car windows of those who drove to the meeting.
Bee County Sheriff's Sgt. Derek Franco showed up 19 minutes after the board went into closed session.
Pettus students, upset at the board's determination to fire their superintendent, have circulated two petitions, one voicing their outrage over the resignation of Athletic Director Dan Garza and the other supporting Thompson. As of Tuesday evening, 216 people have signed the petitions.
In the town of 558, that represents 38 percent. True, a petition signed by teachers, students, residents and members of the administration is not statically defendable; the number of people who signed it, nevertheless, is not insignificant, particularly when the district's enrollment is 430.
"What saddens me," said one school employee who asked not to be identified, "is that all this is going to give the district a black eye when it has done so much. For the first time in 10 years, it gave raises to teachers and non-contract employees. And the board balanced the budget and paid off a lot of debt."
Also, during the closed session, Mike Smith was passing out circulars calling for Pettus taxpayers to attend a community meeting at 7 o'clock Thursday night at the town's community center.
He has posted signs about the meeting on Facebook and at the two places in town where they are guaranteed to attract public attention, the Dairy Queen and Fast Break, the town's convenience store.
Smith and a colleague, Danny Foley—both have children attending Pettus schools—are upset with the board's attempt to fire Thompson and that, thus far, it has given no reason for it.
"Not many people in the community even know what the board is trying to do," he said. "I'm a taxpayer here, and I don't like the business aspect of all this."
If Thompson is forced out, depending on what agreement Conners and Resendez hammer out, the district could have to pay off, or buy out, Thompson's contract as well as pay the salary of a new superintendent. Additionally, the board has to hire new coaches and an athletic director. "We are a small district," Smith says. "We don't have that large a tax base."
Perhaps cognizant of the planned public meeting, or perhaps on the advice of counsel that better public relations might result from allowing the public to speak, when the board returned to open session it took no action, but announced another special meeting at 6:30 p.m. Friday, including public comment. Expecting a crowd, the meeting will be in the cafeteria.
Although Smith and Foley hoped for a turnout of 40 to 60 people at the Thursday protest meeting, only 21 showed up.
Many seemed equally confused about why the board has failed to explain its reasons for wanting to fire Thompson and why what happens in an executive session of a board meeting cannot be disclosed. "We're taxpayers and we need to know what's going on," many said.
Sid Arismendez, former attorney for the city of Taft, explained that Thompson's right of privacy overpowers the public's right to know.
He said he has repeatedly warned the board it was in violation of the Texas Open Meetings Act, but, because he was not representing the board, his warnings were dismissed.
One of the more serious charges, voiced by former board member Clifton Bagwell, is that time for public comment had been placed on the agenda for Tuesday's meeting. "The agenda was posted and then the public comment was removed, and that's a clear violation of the Open Meetings Act which requires the agenda be posted 72 hours in advance. If the agenda is changed, it must be posted again 72 hours in advance. The public comment item was on the agenda Sunday, Bagwell says, but was removed for Tuesday's meeting.
He says he has contacted the Texas Attorney General and the Texas Education Agency to report the alleged violations and to determine the procedure for a recall election.
Cutting through the rhetoric, the charges and the recriminations was the basic problem facing the Pettus community and its school board, a problem immediately evident from the empty space in the center: community involvement — or the lack of it.
Hana Kruger, the 15-year-old daughter of board member Caryel, offered her own lesson in community involvement by standing up and telling the crowd, "A lot of the kids love Mr. Thompson. They remember when he was principal. He didn't do anything wrong. Shouldn't the board listen to the students?"
She sat down then, and burst into tears.
Despite the passion of the comments at both meetings, close scrutiny of Friday's agenda indicates the public comments may be a moot point.
While the purpose of the Tuesday meeting was to consider the duties of the superintendent, Friday's agenda calls for the board to consider "possible action regarding "superintendent resignation agreement" and "possible action regarding interim superintendent"—leading to speculation that the two lawyers have reached a settlement.

- Non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation of dendrimers under shear
- Author(s)
- Bosko, Jaroslaw T.; Lue, Leo; Sadus, Richard J.; Todd, Billy D.
- Abstract
- Dendrimers are a relatively new class of highly branched polymers consisting of short chain units with multifunctional groups at both ends. Starting from an initiator core, the successive reaction of the functional groups with other units generates a highly branched molecule which resembles a Cayley tree [1,2]. Theoretical work on dendrimers has focused largely on determining the structure of isolated homogeneous dendrimers. Numerical selfconsistent mean-field calculations have also been performed for individual dendrimers. Some molecular simulation studies have been reported to determine the structure of isolated [3] and bulk [4] homogeneous dendritic polymers; however, the focus of these simulation studies has been exclusively equilibrium properties. The unique nature of dendrimers means that significant differences could be reasonably expected in their transport properties compared with other polymers of similar size. In this work, we use non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) [5,6] to investigate the behavior of dendrimers under shear. The shear viscosity, energy and pressure are reported for generation up to 4 using both constrained bonds and FENE bonds. NEMD results are also presented for linear polymers of similar molecular weight. The results indicate dendrimers behave differently with respect to the onset of non-Newtonian behavior compared with linear polymers. 1. Tomalia, D. A., Baker, H., Dewald, J.

- How to Read a Study Record
This study will determine the safety and possibility of giving the amino acid, leucine, in patients with Diamond Blackfan anemia(DBA)who are on dependent on red blood cell transfusions.
The leucine is expected to produce a response in patients with DBA to the point where red blood cell production is increased. Red cell transfusions can then be less frequent or possibly discontinued.
The investigators will study the side effects, if any, of giving leucine to DBA patients. Leucine levels of leucine will be obtained at baseline and during the study.
The drug leucine will be provided in capsule form and taken 3 times a day for a total of 9 months.

|Official Title:
|The Use of Novel Therapies to Reconstitute Blood Cell Production and Promote Organ Performance Using Bone Marrow Failure as a Model: a Pilot, Phase I/II Study of the Amino Acid Leucine in the Treatment of Patients With Transfusion-dependent Diamond Blackfan Anemia
- Response to Leucine in Transfusion dependent patients with Diamond Blackfan Anemia [ Time Frame: Patients will take leucine for 9 months. The study is expected to take 12-15 months to complete. ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
The primary outcome is the type of response observed at 9 months (and 6 months). Response to treatment can be one of the following:
- Complete response (CR): Hb > 9 gm/dL and transfusion-independence as defined in DBA
- Partial response (PR): Hb < 9 gm/dL and increased reticulocyte count to greater than 1% and any increase in transfusion interval from baseline. (Baseline reticulocytes range from 0.1 to 0.5 and transfusions are usually performed every 3 weeks. An increase of reticulocyte counts to over 1 to 1.5% and any increase in transfusion interval will be considered a PR.)
- No response (NR): no change in transfusion requirements and no significant change in Hb or reticulocytes (or any response that does not satisfy the conditions of either a PR or CR)
- Progression: worsening of disease as defined by the need for more frequent transfusions
- Side effects of leucine in transfusion-dependent DBA patients [ Time Frame: Total study 12-15 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Secondary outcomes include safety parameters such as type, frequency, and severity of adverse events and relationship to leucine.

OCZ Technology Group, a leading supplier of DRAM and flash-based products, has launched its first value solid-state drive (SSD) at sub-$100 price-point. The flash-based storage device can boast with relatively high performance along with Trim command and is designed to speed up boot-time of Windows 7-based personal computers (PCs).
The first OCZ Onyx solid-state drive has 32GB capacity and 64MB onboard cache. The SSD sports up to 125MB/s read speed, up to 70MB/s write speed and Trim command to optimize performance of the drive. OCZ declares 0.1ms seek time as well as 1.5 million hours meantime before failure time for its new cost-effective product. The company claims that its Onyx 32GB will cost less than $100 and will be aimed at cost-conscious buyers.
"OCZ continues to expand both our enterprise and consumer SSD lines, and one of our goals is to make SSDs more affordable to end-users. Our new Onyx series SSD does exactly that and is a perfect solution for netbooks, laptops, or home desktop PCs. Designed to offer the best of both worlds, the new OCZ Onyx SSD delivers the speed and reliability of solid state storage to mainstream consumers at an aggressive price point that makes the technology more accessible to customers who want to take advantage of all the benefits of the SSDs without incurring the high cost normally associated with the solution," said Ryan Petersen, chief executive officer of the OCZ Technology Group.
OCZ Onyx is not the first low-cost SSD designed to boost performance of modern personal computers and only meant to carry operating system along with a couple of crucial programs. Late last year Kingston Technology already offered a very inexpensive SSD, but that model lacked cache, Trim feature and cost over $100.
It is crucial for OCZ Technology Group to become a well-known and respected supplier of SSD. The potential of solid-state drives is very high and it is important to become a respected provider of appropriate products, something that OCZ has already done on the market of high-end memory modules.

Yeah, unfortunately the "hitting disease" seems to be travelling around the Tampa dugout these days. Someone needs to start fraternizing with the enemy and see if they can catch what's going around.
And, if they wanted to swing by the Angels' and Rangers' bullpen and pick up some of that, too, I wouldn't complain.

I have been on summer vacation with DD (12mos) for the past 8 weeks. I have returned to work full time today. Now that she's 1, I am looking to pump wean. Since I haven't pumped for the past 2 mos, I'm not really sure how to begin. DD typically only nurses once during what would be my normal work hours. But I noticed today, that at 11/11:30 (when DD would nurse down for a nap) I'm not feeling even close to being full. So, should I wait until I start feeling full to pump or should I pump at the time I'd normally nurse and just pump less?
BTW, when I was pumping 3x's a day I would typically get the same amount out of both sides. When I pumped today one side was only 1/2 as much as the other...is this typical? One side was 4oz, the other 2oz. The 2oz side was last nursed on 4:30am, the 4oz side at 7am. Should I be concerned that this side is becoming a poor producer?

Rudyard Kipling's Vermont years honoredKevin O'Connor Photo
An attendee at Monday's first "Kipling in America" symposium uses a cellphone to photograph some of the rare manuscripts and memorabilia at host Marlboro College.
Before Rudyard Kipling settled down to write "The Jungle Book" and "Captains Courageous" in his new home in Vermont, he met a pair of reporters Oct. 14, 1892, seeking comment on his first day in the state.
A newspaper interview, the man who'd go on to win the Nobel Prize in Literature replied, was "a crime — an assault — it is cowardly and vile — no respectable man would ask it, much less give it." American journalism, he continued, had "nothing to admire and less to respect." As for any reader curious about him, "say I am a boor, for I am, and I want people to learn it and let me alone."
Fast forward to the "Kipling in America" symposium in Windham County now making news. Yes, some find it unusual that the London-based Kipling Society, founded to celebrate the author's chronicling of the British Empire, has flown to the revolutionary United States to host its first event outside the United Kingdom. But others, learning the above tale, instead wonder: What would the subject think of all the publicity?
"It surprises me that Kipling was so stupid with the press," Janet Montefiore, editor of the society's quarterly journal, confessed Monday. "He was so much liked and respected around here."
And continues to be, based on the crowd that gathered at Marlboro College to kick off a two-day conference exploring the author's attempt to settle in the Green Mountains, the classic works he conceived there and the family feud and resulting media firestorm that sent him back across the Atlantic.
"We've got the world's leading scholars on Kipling, and that isn't hype," said Montefiore, who traveled all the way from Canterbury along with 60 other attendees representing everywhere from America's Princeton University to the Anglo University of Kent.
Thomas Pinney, editor of a new complete three-volume Cambridge edition of Kipling's poems, came from California to share memories found in Marlboro College's collection of rare manuscripts and memorabilia. First he told the story about the author and the press. Then, in a speech titled "What did the neighbours think?" (the program was spelled out in England), he revealed several rare encounters with the public.
Kipling, born in India in 1865, moved into a ship-shaped Dummerston home he named Naulakha upon his 1892 marriage to American Caroline Balestier. The writer was believed to be standoffish, based in part on his criticism of the media and comments that his neighbors could act jealous and suspicious of him.
"What Kipling thought is clear enough, but did he have it right?" Pinney said in a keynote address. "I found the neighbors were flattered to have Kipling among them. They were keenly interested in his work, that they respected rather than resented his apparent, and only apparent, wish to keep to himself."
The reportedly reclusive Kipling befriended locals including former Vermont Gov. Frederick Holbrook. He hosted barn dances with cider and sandwiches. And he traveled to nearby Brattleboro — sometimes with skis or snowshoes — to drink lager in a basement bar of downtown's cornerstone Brooks House.
"Been in Europe, ain't ya?" one patron was said to have asked the author.
Kipling not only wrote "The Jungle Book" and "Captains Courageous" but also conceived "Kim" and "Just So Stories" while living in Dummerston. But a time that blossomed professionally wilted personally.
A border dispute between the United Kingdom and Venezuela over the South American colony of British Guiana led some in the United States to criticize Kipling's homeland, prompting him to plan his departure.
"If they really should go away to live," Brattleboro friend Mary Cabot wrote in her journal, "I should miss the greatest stimulus I have here. I drive down there feeling as if I was in rightful possession of the entire earth."
Shortly thereafter in 1896, Kipling's brother-in-law, drunk on the street, threatened the author — leading to the relative's arrest and resulting publicity that shattered the writer's privacy and spurred his return to England.
Some 117 years later, his followers have taken great pains to return. Montefiore, for example, watched her scheduled 18-hour trip stretch into 42. But she was happy to be in Vermont, even if more familiar rain and fog hid the promised flaming foliage.
"We're hoping the symposium," Montefiore said, "will rekindle interest in Kipling here in America."
