Cleveland Clinic physicians and scientists may collaborate with the pharmaceutical or medical device industries to help develop medical breakthroughs or provide medical expertise or education. Cleveland Clinic strives to make scientific advances that will benefit patient care and support outside relationships that promise public benefit. In order for the discoveries of Cleveland Clinic physicians' and scientists' laboratories and investigations to benefit the public, these discoveries must be commercialized in partnership with industry. As experts in their fields, Cleveland Clinic physicians and scientists are often sought after by industry to consult, provide expertise and education.
To assure professional and commercial integrity in such matters, Cleveland Clinic maintains a program that reviews these collaborations and, when appropriate, puts measures in place to minimize bias that may result from ties to industry. Cleveland Clinic publicly discloses the names of companies when (i) its physicians/scientists receive $5,000 or more per year (or, in rare cases, equity or stock options) for speaking and consulting, (ii) its physicians/scientists serve as a fiduciary, (iii) its physicians/scientists receive or have the right to receive royalties or (iv) its physicians/ scientists hold any equity interest for the physician's/scientist's role as inventor, discoverer, developer, founder or consultant.* In publicly disclosing this information, Cleveland Clinic tries to provide information as accurately as possible about its physicians' and scientists' connections with industry.
As of 3/25/2016, Dr. Benninger has reported the financial relationships with the companies listed below. In general, patients should feel free to contact their doctor about any of the relationships and how the relationships are overseen by Cleveland Clinic. To learn more about Cleveland Clinic's policies on collaborations with industry and innovation management, go to our Integrity in Innovation page.
Consulting and/or Speaking. Dr. Benninger receives fees of $5,000 or more per year as a paid consultant, speaker or member of an advisory committee for the following companies:
Public Health Service-Reportable Financial Conflicts of Interest. Cleveland Clinic scientists and physicians engage in basic, translational and clinical research activities, working to solve health problems, enhance patient care and improve quality of life for patients. Interactions with industry are essential to bringing the researchers' discoveries to the public, but can present the potential for conflicts of interest related to their research activities. Click here to view a listing of instances where Cleveland Clinic has identified a Public Health Service (PHS)-Reportable Financial Conflict of Interest and has put measures in place to ensure that, to the extent possible, the design, conduct and reporting of the research is free from bias.

Oahu marked the first pedestrian fatality of the year early Friday morning in Nanakuli.
Honolulu Police traffic homicide investigators said a man in his 60s was crossing Farrington Highway just after 5 a.m. when he was struck by the white truck, driven by a woman in her 40s.
"Witnesses told us that there were cars ahead of her that were swerving. She didn't know why they were swerving and she struck the male in the roadway," said HPD Lt. Bobby Towne.
The man was taken to Pali Momi medical center in extremely critical condition where he later died.
Police said speed nor alcohol appear to be factors in the crash, but the driver was taken in to custody for a mandatory blood draw as standard procedure in their investigation.
The death toll for pedestrians on Oahu's roads this year is off to an early start.
The first fatality last year was Wallace Nakama, 77, from Ewa Beach who was struck and killed 16 days into 2011.
This tragedy appears to carrying over a deadly trend from last year. There were 26 pedestrian fatalities statewide in 2011.
The time of day most of these fatalities have occurred is what concerns those keeping track of the numbers. Twenty-three of those 26 fatalities happened during the twilight hours.
Friday's crash happened just before sunrise.
Walkwise Hawaii is urging pedestrians to be extra cautious when crossing the roads during sunrise and sunset.
They're asking motorists to be aware of those who may be walking during these difficult-to-see hours of the day.

Kenny Williams says he will address the Adam Dunn "rumors" tomorrow afternoon. By all media reports, the slugger has agreed to a four-year, $56 million dollar pact. It will give the Sox a huge bat from the left side–a hitter who has clouted 38 homers in each of the last two years, 40 or more five times and a career total of 354. Now we have to get Paul Konerko into the fold along with a catcher (preferably A.J. Pierzynski) and some bullpen help with Bobby Jenks out of the picture and J.J. Putz a free agent.

Sugar Art with Ewald Notter
Explore the delicate process of sugar art with Chef Ewald Notter!
Notter will give a presentation of his craft followed by a demonstration and meet & greet. This event will take place in the Advance Auto Parts Auditorium. FREE and open to all!
Ewald Notter was born in Switzerland and trained at Confiserie Sprüngli in Zurich where he became interested in pulling and blowing sugar. This hobby soon became his passion, and as a result, Notter has become renowned as a master of this craft. Like most fine artists, Notter has an eye for color, an appreciation for textures and a keen sense of detail. In the same way fine artists use acrylics, oils, chalks or clay as their medium, Notter prefers to create his artwork by using a palette of sugar and chocolate. Considered to be a leading expert in modern day confectionery arts he is also well known as a competitor and teacher, he was the first pastry professional inductee into the Pastry Art and Design Hall of Fame by Pastry Art and Design and Chocolatier magazines, and has won numerous other awards.

I am looking for a place to rent in New York City from May 8 – 18 – Lower East Side if possible, as close to E 3rd and Ave C as I can get. I need two beds in two separate rooms – an entire apartment would be perfect, but if anybody has two rooms to sublet, that could work as well.
I am also planning on renting a tripod (decent head, for EX1 or similar) for the same dates. I'll go with a rental house (and would love advice on where to go), but renting directly from another D-Worder would be great as well.
If you have any hints for me, please email me at mail (at) magdalenahutter (dot) com. Thank you!!!

The Docs In Progress Evening with an Expert series returns on Monday May 2. This program will focus on how brings filmmakers and other industry professionals to be engaged in an active distribution campaign for a social issue documentary, using the Emmy Award-winning Out in the Silence as a case study.
Filmmakers Joe Wilson and Dean Hamer will return to Docs In Progress during a brief break from their outreach tour to discuss how they built a grassroots campaign around the film to help raise visibility and use the film as a tool for mobilizing action. Among the topics to be covered:
* Measuring tangible impacts through documentary screenings and discussions
* Building relationships with community partners
* Balancing "old-school" grassroots outreach such as radio interviews, local newspaper articles, fliers, and posters with "new school" methods such as social media, e-mail marketing, website and blog coverage, and online screenings.
* Strategies for fundraising, friendraising, and film sales for social issue films
* How making a difference and making a living through documentary do not have to be mutually exclusive concepts.

6:30 pm Networking and Refreshments
7:00 – 8:30 pm Program and Q&A
Docs In Progress
8700 First Avenue

$25 if register and pay online no later than 5 pm on May 2. ($20 for Docs Insiders*)
$30 if pay by cash or check at the door. (no discounts)
Out in the Silence captures the remarkable chain of events that unfold when the announcement of filmmaker Joe Wilson's wedding to another man, Dean Hamer, ignites a firestorm of controversy in his small Pennsylvania hometown. When the mother of a gay teen being tormented at a school in the town writes to Wilson, he is drawn back on a journey through love, hate, and understanding in rural America. Prior to its completion, Out in the Silence was workshopped through several Docs In Progress programs including Peer Pitch, Work in Progress Screenings, and One-on-One Consultations.
Out in the Silence has been playing the film festival circuit for more than 1 1/2 years, has been funded by the Sundance Documentary Fund, has screened on public television, and recently won a regional Emmy Award for Best Documentary. However, these kudos pale in comparison to the deeper impact the film is making in small towns across America as the filmmakers have taken it to community screenings one town at a time. The aim of this grassroots campaign is to expand public awareness about the difficulties that GLBT people face in rural and small town America and to promote dialogue and action that will help people on all sides of the issues find common ground.
Social activist and filmmaker Joe Wilson was frustrated by the limitations of traditional advocacy, and so he picked up a camera with hopes of reaching broader audiences with stories that inform and compel people to question and act. Wilson's work has been awarded winner of the Videomaker Magazine National Documentary Challenge, Audience Prize at the One-in-Ten Film Festival, and Best Short Film at the Barcelona Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, among other recognitions.
Scientist turned filmmaker Dean Hamer joined the journalism field after being invited to discuss his research on AIDS, human sexuality, and behavior genetics on numerous television news shows. He set out to communicate complex scientific and social ideas through compelling documentaries. Hamer's debut film, The Preacher and the Poet (also an alum of the Docs In Progress Work-in-Progress Screening Program), was a winner at the PBS/Independent Lens Online Shorts Festival. His work also has been awarded the Audience Prize at the One-in-Ten Film Festival, and Best Short Film at the Barcelona Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, among other recognitions. Hamer also has worked on productions for the BBC, Discovery Science, and network news channels. He has written three award-winning books, including The Science of Desire, which was a New York Times "Notable Book of the Year" in 1994.
Wilson and Hamer are partners in filmmaking as well as life, having produced over a dozen pieces for their company, qWaves.
While this talk will not include a full screening of the film, Out in the Silence can be viewed online on Hulu or SnagFilms or can be purchased on DVD or digital download through their a variety of sources.

Producers/Collaborators Sought: Doc Film On People Living In Cars
Hi there,
My name is Jeff and I am a first-time filmmaker. I have been filming footage of people living in cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs since last fall. I also live in my SUV and film my experience too.
Not having gone to film school, I am seeking producers and collaborators with filmmaking experience to help transform this footage into an actual film.
Here's why you should work with me:
-Having worked on a major political campaign, I know how to make and confirm definite commitments with excellent follow though
-I live in my SUV making me all the more able to earn trust among fellow vehicle dwellers
-If I am able to make this film, because I live in my SUV, it will be an amazing underdog story
-I am an emerging YouTube personality. My videos have received almost 13,000 views in just 3 months, with almost 700 YouTube friends and 125 subscribers (I have not lost a subscriber yet). The channel is: jeff4justice
-I have hours and hours of original/unique footage on this topic
-I have researched this topic extensively
-This is a timely topic because of the economic crisis
Here's what I have filmed:
-6 Interviews of people living in vehicles
-2 Interviews of government workers & elected officials who have been engaged with this topic
-5 interviews with people working in nonprofits serving homeless people living in vehicles
-2 interviews with local residents in neighborhoods with people living in vehicles
-2 interviews with local representatives of neighborhood groups in neighborhoods with people living in vehicles
-1 interview with a police officer
-1 town hall meeting on this topic
All interview subjects signed media releases forms.
I have also filmed various footage of vehicles that appear to be lived in, traffic scenes, and various filler footage.
Here's where I have filmed:
Walnut Creek, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Venice/L.A. – all in CA
Here's what I need to film more of:
-2 interviews with women living in vehicles
-2 interviews with families living in vehicles
-More racial/cultural diversity of interview subjects
-More in-depth follow along of 2-3 people/couples/families living in vehicles
Also, I just learned of a lawsuit involving people living in vehicles VS. the city of L.A. regarding laws that outlaw living in vehicles. Footage of the court events would be great too!
Equipment used:
-Kodak Zi8 camera
-Audio Technica ATR-3350 Lavalier Omnidirectional Condenser Clipon Mics
A 15 minute clip preview is available.
Like documentaries such as An Inconvenient Truth, Out In The Silence, The Cove, and Food Inc., this documentary has great potential be utilized as a platform for social movement to advocate for safe parking programs (similar to what exists in Santa Barbara and Ventura), the repeal/modification of laws illegalizing sleeping in vehicles, and a network of support for people in this situation.
Thank you for your consideration.
-Jeff Girard
I am currently in the L.A. area
-Started first visible/viable LGBT group in anti-LGBT Yuba-Sutter area (north of Sacramento) in 2003, led it though end of 2007
-Volunteer recruiter/trainer with NO on 8 campaign in 2008
-Produced NO on Prop 14 Theatre viral vids in 2010
-Employed as security guard over 5 years – this means I have great FBI and CA Dept. of Justice background checks

Hey all, I am a film major, but in school am not getting enough practical experience. I am friendly and easy to work with and innovative/adventurous. Is anyone willing to take me on as a sidekick or a sort of second shadow this summer? I'm not looking for money or anything like that, I just want to learn and experience. I have a passport and am willing to travel.
I know it's a bit late to be asking for summer experiences, but I had a few internships which have fallen through and now I'm up a creek.
I am a great listener and I'm low maintenance, so you don't have to worry about me getting in your way.
Please consider
If you're interested, please contact me at email@example.com
Have a Great Day, everybody!

Rebecca Richman Cohen's WAR DON DON
Director Rebecca Richman Cohen and producer Francisco Bello in person for discussion with Chris Santora, one of the Sesay trial prosecutors featured in the film!
Rebecca Richman Cohen's remarkable debut film WAR DON DON begins at the end of a decade-long civil war in Sierra Leone which has left a population devastated by mass murder, rape and savage disfigurement. Now, in the capital city of Freetown, United Nations soldiers guard a heavily fortified building known as the Special Court. Inside, a man named Issa Sesay awaits his trial. The prosecution say Sesay is a war criminal, guilty of heinous crimes against humanity. The defense says he is a reluctant fighter who protected civilians and was himself a victim of terrible poverty and violent coercion. Justice Benjamin Itoe says the Court means "to bring an end to impunity and to contribute to the peace and reconciliation process." WAR DON DON presents the trial of Issa Sesay in incredible detail and from myriad perspectives, offering a rare and penetrating view of international criminal justice.
"One of the most viscerally compelling documentaries of the year. It will leave you haunted."
Mary Anderson Casavant, Filmmaker Magazine
"Without eliding the grim human cost of the crimes and criminals involved, Rebecca Richman Cohen's unusually lucid documentary plays against type."
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
"Fascinating and complex... a remarkably sophisticated examination of the machinery of justice."
The Independent Weekly, Raleigh, NC
Rebecca Richman Cohen is an award-winning filmmaker and a law school graduate with experience in international human rights and criminal defense. She interned as an investigator at the Bronx Defenders and continued to do investigative work at the Special Court for Sierra Leone, working on a legal defense team for Alex Tamba Brima in the AFRC-accused case. Five months after leaving the Brima defense team, she returned to Sierra Leone to begin production on WAR DON DON. Between trips to Sierra Leone, she has been adjunct faculty at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) where she taught an undergraduate seminar entitled "Human Rights, Mass Atrocity, and Documentary Film" and at American University's Human Rights Institute where she taught "Criminal Justice Stories in Film." Rebecca graduated from Brown University with a B.A. in Portuguese and Brazilian Studies and with a Juris Doctor from Harvard Law School. For her work on WAR DON DON she was awarded the the Cinereach Award for excellence in vital, artful storytelling. WAR DON DON also won the Special Jury Prize at the SXSW Film Festival. In 2010 Rebecca was profiled in Filmmaker Magazine's 25 New Faces in Independent Film.

Category and search results page updateposted by Dark0ne Site NewsToday we've rolled out an update to the category and search results page on all the Nexus sites and I'm quite excited about it. I think it's really good, ergo if you don't like it I'm going to be upset. So like it. Or else.
The general premise for this update was to have a single page from which you could find all the content people have added to the site quickly, easily, and seamlessly without the need for excessive page reloads or jumping between category selections, search pages, tag searches and so on. Now it's all centralised in to one page with the ability to customise what you see and how you see things extremely quickly.
Lets start from the top of the new page and work our way down; beginning with featured files. Featured files are why, as a mod author, even if you don't think your file has any chance of becoming a "hot file" (or it's past the time cut off for your file to be eligible) you should still create a hot file image for your files. Every 10 minutes every category will get a new "Featured file". It looks a lot like the hot files on the front page of the Nexus sites but the difference is every file is eligible to be a featured file. Our server-side script will iterate through all the files in your file category to ensure that every file has absolutely equal exposure; your file cannot be a featured file again until all the other files in its category have also been featured. And only files that have a featured image created for them are eligible to be selected, so if you haven't setup a featured image for your files yet you need to do so by going to your images and creating a "hot file" image. This isn't the same as a "background" image, so if you don't like the background image system or don't want to use it then the two are separate; you can have one without the other.
There are infact two "featured file" lists; one for the category your file is in and one for the "all categories" selection which shows when the user is browsing all the files on the site. So that means your file gets the chance to be featured two times per rotation of the file database.
As a user if you're not a massive fan of the featured file system or if you don't use it and would rather gain some more height space for your mod browsing then you can click the green "Hide features" tab button which will hide the features section for you. If you're logged in then the site will remember your preference so if you leave the page and come back later the featured file section will still be hidden. If you'd like to see the featured file again all you need to do is click the "Show features" button and back it comes. And once again, the site remembers your choice.
We also understand that you might like to see some of the files that were recently featured on the site that you missed and that's what the "Recent features" button is for. Click it and you'll be taken to a page that shows you the past 20 files that were featured in this category, so just over 3 hours of featured file backlog you can catch up on per category.
Moving on you'll notice we've split content between "Files", "File news" and "File images". The files tab contains information specific to files. Your bread and butter file search results.
The file news tab will display news articles that authors have written for their files. We added the articles system to files about 10 months or so ago and it's been used well by mod authors. Not only does it allow you to keep your users updated with your progress, thoughts and opinions and gain valuable feedback but it's also a great way to increase exposure for your files. We'll no doubt revisit the system in the not too distant future so you can subscribe to your favourite mod authors and be kept up-to-date with what they're writing about. So I'd recommend making use of this system wherever possible.
The file images tab is an additional feature we've added to the sites that allows you to browse mod image galleries without having to go to the mod page itself. Click a mod in the file images tab and you'll be presented with a pop-out box with a slide-show gallery script so you can scroll through all the images that have been uploaded for the file. If you're one of those mod users who likes to look at mods before you read about them and download them then this feature is for you.
Whether you're on the file tab, file news tab or the file images tab the results you see are all affected by the filters you choose to the right of the results. If you're currently looking at files in the Armour category, if you switch to the file news or file images tabs you'll only see news or images for files in that category.
When browsing your file results you'll notice that we've gone back to providing you with two ways of showing you results; block view and flat view. Nexus veterans will remember that before we updated our site design we originally had these two separate views but changed to flat view so that we could focus our time more easily on supporting one format. Now we've got two dedicated web programmers for the sites we can go back to supporting both methods, and the method you choose is totally up to you. You can quickly change the view mode by clicking the green "View" tab. Just like the "hide features" button the site will remember your viewing preference if you're logged in. We've also upped the number of results per page from 10 to 30 to better fill the space made available through these changes.
And lastly we come to the new search, sorting and filtering options that allow you to drill-down into the database to find exactly what you're looking for. Situated to the right of the file results are all the options you'll need to find what you want, including the ability to search by file name, words in the description, author/upload name and sort your results by all the previously available parameters plus one more; the random parameter. Much asked for over the years the "Random" sort by filter will show you a random selection of mods using the other variables you've selected. So you can search for random armour mods that have images uploaded and aren't tagged as skimpy or anime. Easily. Click the button again and you'll get another random set of mods.
We've included quick attribute filters for files that have images uploaded, files that are considered NMM compatible (because the author hasn't turned off the NMM compatibility switch for his files) and adult files, and because everything is done seamlessly through AJAX rather than new page calls you can quickly turn these features off and on without a page reload. The filters you select will be saved as you move between categories and even into search results so you don't have to constantly click the same filters each time you run a search.
Finally, we've also added the three main saved preferences in to your member area preferences section so you can edit them at any time; these preferences are whether you want to see featured files, your default view between flat or block mode and the default sort by order for any file searches or categories you view (e.g. most endorsed first, or most recent first).
As per my recent blog post this new page will form the backbone of a centralised Nexus and our attempts to make finding mods as easy as possible. We'll add an extra parameter to the filters on this page for the game you want to be browsing making it be extremely easy to look through, for example, the latest New Vegas mods and then quickly jump to see the latest Fallout 3 mods without having to go through a load of different mouse clicks to get there.
We've tried our hardest to optimise the code as well as we can to get the best server performance out of it but we're not going to know how it'll affect performance for sure until we actually put this live on the sites and see what effect it has. The worry is, because everything is done without page reloads it makes it very easy for you to press a lot of things quickly and send lots of requests to the server. We don't know how the servers will hold-up until we actually apply the code so we'll be monitoring how the servers cope throughout the weekend and if things get bad and we think it's because of this new code we'll revert back and wait until we've transitioned over to the new database cluster. Once again, I'm told that's any day now. Either way you'll have some time to try it out and let us know what you think.

Chase Utley has been sidelined to begin Spring Training games with patellar tendinitis. That's not a good sign as Utley is now 32 years old and has gotten nipped by the injury bug lately.
Utley says, with rest, the knee should be fine, it's just not going away as fast as he or the team would like. Some are worried about this setback, some are not. Which category do you fall under? Let us know on the poll below how worried you are about Chase Utley's knee. (Photo: Mcall.com)Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.
0 Comments
I think chase will be ok,with rest this year.He says he does not hurt when he bats,which is good!!
I'm not a Dr, but have had my share of leg joint issues. If you are going to have a knee issue, patellar tendinitis is the one to get. It subsides with ice and rest, will only be a bit tender when jumping (not even much of a problem with running), doesn't throw off the stability of the knee. To repeat an earlier post, I'm happy he recognized it and is dealing with it, and don't expect it to play into the season at all.
I agree bfo. I don't think this is a big deal, and it'll be ok in about a week if he does just rest and not strain it anymore.
I'm no world class baseball player but an athlete and have had this before. It does linger but with a strap/brace as well as rest he will be fine.
I am also slightly worried…and I will emphasize SLIGHTLY….and feel that REGULAR DAYS OFF during the season are an absolute must in order to keep him healthy for the whole year. Having a guy like Valdez makes that decision a whole lot easier.
I don't like this at all… he works too hard. Rest is one word that isn't in Utley's vocabulary. A lot of our guys aren't capable of sitting on the shelf and these kinds of injuries tend to linger. We are going to make the playoffs… that much is clear… I don't care about the win total. I want to be healthy in September. Utley, Polanco and Ibanez should get regular days off. We have some depth and I think that once this machine gets rolling, it has to remain well oiled – none of our starters except maybe Victorino and Howard should play more than 150 games.
I'd go as far as to say that Utley, Rollins, Polanco, and Ibanez should not play more than 140 games. Believe it or not (and many don't) players are in their decline stage at age 32. This is the oldest team in baseball, and the oldest Phillies lineup since 1983. For those who may not remember, that team was nicknamed the "Wheeze Kids". The main goal during the season should be to keep the lineup healthy and well rested heading into the postseason.
I'm Ted Bell.
Utley can officially be called "injury prone". I would be willing to bet that he NEVER again plays more than 150 games in a season. And for you that insist that he's a LOCK for the Hall of Fame….think about what he has to do statistically over the next 6-8 years in order for that to even be considered. It's gonna be harder and harder for him as time goes on for him to amass those stats.
I disagree. The tendonitis and the labrum problems he had earlier were "natural" injuries, but the former could well be gone in a week or two, and the regular season hasn't even started yet. Besides that, he had a thumb injury sustained during a head first slide, and a broken hand from getting hit by a pitch. Those are freak incidents. "Injury prone" is going a bit far, especially since we don't know whether the PT will even matter yet. Like any early 30s infielder, he just needs some days off.
Injuries from HEAD FIRST slides and from getting hit by a pitch aren't that uncommon and are not "freak incidents". Chase Utley is injury prone. Plain and simple. I'm not taking anything away from "The Man" ….but it's time people get their heads out of the sand and realize what the truth is.
In 6 full-time seasons Chase has played more than 150 games only 3 times and played 160+ games only once.
Just because they "aren't that uncommon" doesn't mean they're Utley's fault (they aren't)
I agree with you Ryan. "Injury prone" is usually defined as excessive and self inflicted. Just because a pitcher's wildness with a pitch put Utley on the DL does not mean he is injury prone. Granted a head first slide goes against a baseball fundamental for sliding but many players who are aggressive will disregard that and Utley is no exception.
Hey Ryan, I like youir avatar. Cool!
Dont worry adoring fans, i'll be O-f*&kin-K
Well my my, aren't you just a clever dim-wit. I love all the enlightening posters like you that bring so much to this board with your moronic handles and mentally deficient ideas of what's funny. Ha Ha Ha calling yourself Chase_Utley's_Knee- How incredibly amusing! I may be laughing the rest of the day-NOT.
Next time why not post as Ryan_Howards_Junk you numb-nut, you're clearly closer to that area of human anatomy.
Clearly out of the wrong side of the bed this morning for you i suppose. ?hats wrong with a little humor??
This poll is missing an option.
– Not worried, Wilson Valdez is ace.
Ryan, I didn't say they were his fault. Most times, they aren't the player's fault. But he sustained the injuries nontheless.
My point is if the injury isn't due to natural wear and tear on the body, than I don't think you can consider it contributing towards an "injury prone" reputation.
I voted "pretty worried" for one reason only, the cover up. Charlie says he's been working out all winter and is in great shape, just a little sore. Now I can't speak for anyone else, but that doesn't sound like a guy I would send to get an MRI.
We can speculate it as a "cover up" but I suspect that management underestimated the nature of his "soreness" due to Utley's reputation as working hard to the extreme in preparation for the season. When it became evident that Utley's problem was not going away, the decision for an MRI as a precaution was obviously the right choice.
I'm guessing the idea there was not to reveal that the soreness was localized in the knee because they weren't yet sure what it was and people freak out when it's anything to do with the knee.
That's possible. But Chase has never been forthcoming about injuries, he didn't need Charlie to cover it up for him. He could have stonewalled everyone like he always has in the past when it flared up. I'm thinking he must have really showed the pain was intolerable this time. And since he's normally so tough about these things, Charlie and Ruben must have thought that this time it really was something to worry about. therefore I stand in the "pretty worried" category and don't feel like they're necessarily telling the truth about this.
Plus- "pretty worried" is sort of a natural state of mind for me anyway.
I'm pretty worried too because this is the kinda thing that should have been ameliorated over the winter with rest and/or proper conditioning. If this is causing concern at the outset of ST, I can't see how it won't be all season long. Chase has said himself this is more a "condition" than an "injury". Putting it all together, I feel safe assuming this has been an issue for at least 18 months now (recall the weird 09 post season mis-throws; review again for pivoting issue).
Utley's a gamer and it's taking its toll. If there is a Lenny Dykstra analogy here, let's hope 2011 is for Utley what 1993 was for Nails, sans the juice implications (and lets hope a team WS appearance is not as dependent on it). http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/d/dykstle01.shtml
Good points Schultze. I don't think this is new, I just think it's getting worse either from age or just how hard he pushes himself. He never admitted to injury last year prior to the hand thing, but many people suspected there was something the gamer was concealing.
Even after extensive Web MD and wikipedia searches, I'm still not exactly sure what "patellar tendinitis" consists of… I'm concerned, but still leaning towards the old NFL approach where injuries like this are exaggerated to lull your opponent into a false sense of security. Just when you think Chase can't walk, he strikes!

Hammer Nutrition Perpetuem Endurance Fuel is the result of years of research and thousands of miles of testing in a variety of endurance disciplines. Perpetuem is Hammer's ultimate link to satisfying the body's fueling requirements no matter how long or difficult your exercise session or race is.
What's in Perpetuem?
Carbohydrates - As with all Hammer Nutrition fuels, no simple sugars are added to the carbohydrate profile. Perpetuem contains a specific maltodextrin, which provides nearly 87% of its caloric composition in long chain carbohydrates.
Protein - A new calcium-enhanced soy protein isolate known as "XT" makes up nearly 10% of the caloric profile of Perpetuem, the same percentage as is cannibalized during long slow endurance workouts. This particular soy protein contains a very high amount of intact, cardiovascular-enhancing isoflavones.
Fat - A de-oiled "super lecithin" (extracted from the soybean) is ideal for consistently and reliably fueling the body and maximizing energy production from stored fatty acids.
Sweetener - Made from Energy Smart, the same healthy sweetener in Hammer Gel.
One container has 16 servings of Perpetuem. It's ideal for workouts and races over 3 hours. Perpetuem comes in three flavors -- Café Latte, Orange Vanilla, Strawberry Vanilla, and Unflavored.
- Contains 16 servings (2.43-pounds)
- Caffé Latte flavor contains caffeine
- Soy protein "XT" isolate
- Energy Smart sweetener
- Gluten-free, Vegan-certified

Great Long Summit Attempt Nutrition
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've used this on many PNW summit attempts, including Rainier, Baker, Adams and Hood, with great success. Matched with the Hammer Gel it totally rocks. You just gotta make sure to hydrate with this combination and those stomach cramps can be avoided.
I've used Hammer Nutrition products since their beginnings (e-Caps) and tried many others, but I continue to return to the one that has delivered when I really needed it.
This has some fat
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I wanted to like this product. I'm sure it works great for others but for me it was major stomach cramps. I used it only for my very long rides and I suspect the fat content made my stomach turn. Flavor was not great either.
I got lucky
I bought this powder spontaneously, but this stuff performs really well. I always take this before my workouts geared towards anaerobic endurance. when I buy a second I will most definitely go with something other than strawberry-vanilla though. also the price isn't half bad
When the going gets tough, keep on goin'
I used this for the first time in the Whiskey 50 off road. I chose to use the multi hour bottle and this formula kept my muscles working hard for over 4 hours of explosive mountain bike racing. Do take caution, although this stuff works great for keeping muscle fatigue at bay it will not prevent cramping, I suggest using an additional electrolyte supplement if you know the weather is going to be hot. Bottom line is I will continue to use Perpetuem unless I find something better.

USDA Lifts European Grapevine Moth Quarantine in Four California Counties, Unrestricted Trade to Mexico Resumes
WASHINGTON, June 5, 2012—The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is announcing the eradication of European grapevine moth (EGVM) from Fresno, Mendocino, Merced, and San Joaquin counties in California and the removal of restrictions on exports of EGVM host commodities, including stone fruit and table grapes, from those counties to Mexico.
"The removal of these counties from the European grapevine moth quarantine will save stone fruit and table grape growers an estimated $10 million a year," said Rebecca Blue, deputy under secretary for marketing and regulatory programs. "USDA is committed to partnering with our stakeholders in the fight against invasive pests and doing our part to minimize their impact on agricultural trade and export markets for American agricultural products."
After the first detections of EGVM in California in 2009, APHIS and its state partners began working together to detect, delimit and control the spread of the pest through outreach, surveys, quarantine enforcement and grower-led treatments costing an average of $10 million per year. APHIS declared eradication in these four counties after two years of surveillance resulted in no new detections of the pest.
After the detection of EGVM in California in 2009, Mexico also began requiring additional treatments on exports of fresh table grapes and stone fruit from counties under quarantine for the pest.
"APHIS supplied Mexican agricultural officials with surveillance data and official notification that EGVM has been eradicated from the four counties in California," Blue said. "APHIS' removal of these counties from the EGVM quarantine triggered Mexico's removal of restrictions on exports of EGVM host commodities, providing much-needed economic relief for growers."
Mexico is one of the top five export markets for American table grapes and the third largest importer of American fresh stone fruit. In 2011, California exported 3.4 million cartons of fresh stone fruit, valued at $45 million, and 5.7 million boxes of fresh table grapes, valued at $102.1 million, to Mexico. Fresno, Mendocino, Merced, and San Joaquin counties are a part of the primary production area of fresh U.S. stone fruit and table grapes.
The Obama Administration, with Agriculture Secretary Vilsack's leadership, has aggressively worked to expand export opportunities and reduce barriers to trade, helping to push agricultural exports to record levels in 2011 and beyond. U.S. agriculture is currently experiencing one of its best periods in history thanks to the productivity and resourcefulness of our producers. Today, net farm income is at near record levels while debt has been cut in half since the 1980s. Overall, American agriculture supports 1 in 12 jobs in the United States and provides American consumers with 83 percent of the food we consume, while maintaining affordability and choice. Strong agricultural exports contribute to a positive U.S. trade balance, create jobs, boost economic growth and support President Obama's National Export Initiative goal of doubling all U.S. exports by the end of 2014.

Hewlett-Packard on Wednesday said that it will continue the development and innovation of Intel Corp.'s Itanium-based Integrity server platforms with its HP-UX operating system using a roadmap that extends more than ten years. HP named Oracle's decision to drop Itanium support an anti-customer behaviour and an attempt to ensure success of Sun SPARC mission-critical servers.
"Oracle continues to show a pattern of anti-customer behavior as they move to shore up their failing Sun server business. HP believes in fair and honest competition. Competition is good for customers, innovation and the marketplace. We are shocked that Oracle would put enterprises and governments at risk while costing them hundreds of millions of dollars in lost productivity in a shameless gambit to limit fair competition," said Dave Donatelli, executive vice president and general manager of enterprise servers, storage and networking at HP.
Oracle is undergoing major changes after the acquisition of Sun Microsystems in 2010. As a result of the takeover, Oracle obtained a number of new servers, workstations, storage, services and software assets. In particular, Oracle got Sun SPARC microprocessor technology along with mission-critical server platform, which has been historically competing against Intel Itanium, IBM Power and other similar products. Naturally, development of software that supports Intel Itanium platform is not in Oracle's interests. On Tuesday Oracle announced that it would cease development of new versions of its software products for Itanium-based systems and noted that the IA64 platform was nearing the end of its life. Both Intel and HP deny the fact that they would end development of future mission-critical 64-bit platforms.
HP will continue to support customers running existing versions of Oracle software on Itanium-based Integrity servers, both existing and future platforms, during the ten years timeframe. Last year, HP launched "the industry's most modern mission-critical architecture in more than a decade". This constitutes the longest published roadmap of any UNIX vendor in the industry, according to HP. HP remains committed to supporting its customers and their applications through the next decade and beyond.
HP moved ahead into second position in the Unix market while Sun lost share and fell back into third since Oracle announced it would acquire Sun in April of 2009, based on HP's own analysis based on published market data.
"It is clear that Oracle customers are voting with their purchasing decisions against the Sun platform. This latest Oracle action of disinformation is clearly an attempt to force customers into purchasing Sun servers in a desperate move to slow their declining market share," HP said.

Killington co-founder Sargent dead at 83By Bruce Edwards
STAFF WRITER | November 09,2012
Joseph Sargent, co-founder of the Killington Ski Area, whose financial acumen was especially critical in the early days of the resort, died Wednesday in West Hartford, Conn. He was 83.
In 1956, Sargent and Preston Leete Smith founded Sherburne Corp. to fulfill Smiths vision to build a ski area from scratch out of the wilderness of the Calvin Coolidge State Forest, five miles from Route 4 in what was then the town of Sherburne.
The two raised $80,000 from local investors with Smith persuading the state to build a five-mile access road in the shadow of Killington Mountain.
On Dec. 13, 1958, Killington Ski Area opened with seven trails, two surface lifts and a Depression-era Civilian Conservation Corps building serving as a base lodge.
Smith and Sargent, who both grew up in West Hartford, came together with opposite backgrounds: Smiths was forestry, and Sargents was finance. But the two meshed into a successful business relationship.
Perhaps the most important other ingredient was mutual respect, Smith wrote Thursday in an email from his home in Florida. The ski business is a very complex business for the fact that it encompasses an array of different businesses rolled into one.
Smith also recalled his friend and partner as someone who wasnt afraid to get his hands dirty. He said Sargent and his wife, Mary, would travel on weekends from their home in Connecticut.
Sargent in the early days pitched in on trail clearing or whatever had to be done, as everyone associated did, since funds were very limited, Smith said.
He said the two of them did virtually all the lift and trail design for the first 10 years the resort was operating.
Phil Camp, Killingtons first marketing director and its third employee, recalled Sargent as more than just a savvy businessman.
He was a financial genius and an everyday guy, said Camp, publisher of the Vermont Standard. And when it came time to get out and direct traffic Joe was there helping. If it needed something to get to the top of the mountain, Joe put an old military knapsack on his back.
Sargent did have one bit of advice when Camp started working at the ski area in 1959. Theres only one thing we require of you, Camp said. He said never go over budget.
It was advice Camp said he took to heart.
Sargent, who graduated from Yale University with a degree in economics and geology, was managing partner and chairman of Conning & Co., an investment firm with a focus on the insurance business.
He served as chairman of Sherburne Corp. and its successor, S-K-I Ltd.
Smith credited Sargent with thinking outside the box in building a business that was challenged in no small part by its seasonal nature. It was also a highly competitive business.
He put forth the idea of spy in the sky, Smith said. Flights were scheduled to photograph the parking lots of their competitors, after which the cars were counted. This provided Killington a means to measure its marketing expense and success.
Under Smith and Sargent, Killington became the largest ski area in the East. It acquired other ski resorts, including Mount Snow in Vermont, Bear Mountain in California, Waterville Valley in New Hampshire and Sugarloaf in Maine.
S-K-I Ltd., a publicly traded company, was sold in 1996 to Leslie B. Otten, who started American Skiing Co. Today, Killington and its sister resort, Pico, are owned by Powdr Corp. of Utah.
Larry Jensen, who was Killingtons manager of business development and later controller, remembered Sargent as someone respected by Smith and others for his fairness and leadership.
One of Pres Smiths strengths was he was willing to listen to people, and Joe was one of the people he listened to very carefully, Jensen said, and I think had a great deal to do with the overall success at Killington.
Added Smith: Joseph D. Sargent indeed had a profound impact on Vermont and the ski business.

Ashley Greene Shows Off Her Hot Abs In A See-Through Lace Blouse At The CFDA/Vogue Fashion Awards
Ashley Greene arrived at the Ninth Annual CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America)/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards in New York City Tuesday night wearing a lace see through shirt with a black tube top underneath and a pair of black pants, both by designer Wes Gordon.
The sexy star, who skipped out on Wednesday's London Premiere of her latest film, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2, to go to the event, was spotted with the likes of fellow stars Dakota Fanning , Christina Ricci, Emma Stone and Miranda KerrAlexa Chung; as well as designer Gordon.
"Had the most amazing night with @wes_gordon at the CFDA/Vogue dinner! So honored to have been a part of it," she tweeted with a picture of her and the designer afterward.
Victoria's Secret models Kerr, Karlie Kloss, Erin Fetherston and Coco Rocha were also spotted at the event.
It would seem that see-through lace is the latest celebrity fashion trend -- Greene's Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart was spotted in see-through outfits at the Los Angeles and London premieres of the latest film on Monday and Wednesday; and Kim Kardashian opted for see-through black lace earlier this month (pics here).
Tuesday night actress Krysten Ritter went see-through (pics), and on October 30th supermodel Bar Refaeli went for the look (pics).
We're not complaining...

In fact, I'm so fed up of the career moaners that I can't tell the difference between when they have a point or not - its all one big doom fest, always.
And to be honest, it puts me off RL and I feel like sacking it.
Stop being a soft cry baby. And why should coming on a forum reading alleged negative comments stop you enjoy watching the game? If it upsets you so much dont bother coming on here and stick to watching Bradford or whoever. If you get so upset and depressed about people having a different opinion and seeing things not how you see them dont bother coming on a message board where its likely such people post.
The game is the best there is, but sadly the administration and management all the way from International level down to amateur is very poor and has been for decades. The poor management at clubs again has nothing to with the game itself which is a fantastic product. I think you will find very few posters actually slate the sport itself but the people who keep making short term thinking decisions and making decisions thats Ok for their club or their ego but whats not good for the game as a whole. There is a massive difference. I have never seen a post slating rugby league the sport on here or saying its rubbish. The odd game maybe. The negativeness is aimed at not just the RFL but the selfish interests of clubs and committe members both at amateur and pro level if you look across the various forums. Many of the games problems are self inflicted and have been for many years.
No danger of that Gav because if I was a quarter as disillusioned about RL as some of this mob seem to be, there's no way I'd be anywhere near it, let alone wasting my life slating it on internet messageboards.

November 6, 2013 —
DELAWARE RIVER WATERSHED — The William Penn Foundation (WPF) is well known in the Philadelphia area. In early October, the Philadelphia Business Journal reported that the foundation gave a $5 million grant to the Delaware River Waterfront Corporation to help pay for increased public access to the city's waterfront.
That came after another $5 million grant in 2010, which was leveraged to raise more funds to pay for several projects including the construction of two Delaware River trails and a pier park.
In another line of interest, according to a report from WHYY radio in Philadelphia, the foundation gave a grant of $1.4 million to help Roxborough High School become the first school in Philadelphia "to offer career and college-preparatory programming to 100% of its students."
In one of its newest endeavors, WPF is targeting the entire Delaware River Watershed. An announcement from Laura Sparks, the chief financial officer of WPF, was released on October 29, which said, "the Foundation is directing significant funding toward impacting the entire watershed and is interested in creating a 'Vision for the Watershed.' The Foundation plans to impact the Delaware basin by addressing watershed-wide issues; protecting and restoring places of ecological significance; and building the constituency for the watershed by engaging people."
The announcement came amid a two-day event sponsored by WPF called "Accelerating Action, The Delaware River Watershed Forum." The event attracted over 60 NGOs including PennFuture, New Jersey Audubon and Common Waters, as well as state and federal regulators and others.
As many in the Upper Delaware Valley are aware, water from the Delaware River Watershed provides drinking water for more than 15 million people on the east coast. Some of the water in the watershed is sequestered in the New York City reservoirs and transferred through the reservoir system to New York City. The rest of the water in the watershed goes into the Delaware River which provides drinking water to Philadelphia, Trenton and other municipalities.
A press release from WPF said, "The Delaware River Basin is an ecological and economic jewel. It encompasses 13,000 square acres and provides 5% of the drinking water of the United States. The basin has an annual economic value of $25 billion and its ecosystem services are valued at $683 billion. It is also the engine for 600,000 jobs. President John Fry of Drexel University noted, 'There are few things more important than preserving and protecting our Delaware River Watershed.' He added that protection of 'watersheds require a commitment to the long-view.'"
During the luncheon keynote, Jerry Kauffman, professor of water science and policy at the University of Delaware, said, "an ounce of prevention or protection of the pristine headwaters is worth a pound of cure by way of restoration after the fact," noting the incredible economic value of a clean Delaware River. He closed the forum by quoting Winston Churchill, noting, "this is just the end of the beginning."
