When I was diagnosed with EPI in August I was weighed in around 41 or 42 pounds down from 58 lbs. My vet had told me before all of this that I needed to be at 53 so I didn't have a steep hill to climb. Well a couple of weeks ago, I went in to be weighed and I'm now at 49 lbs! Just a few more to my goal of 53 lbs! Yippeee!
With my condition, my Mom and Dad have to feed me three small meals a day with pancreatic enzyme supplements and watch my poop. :0) My Dad calls it the poop patrol.
This is a message send to the GSD World Dogster group on August 30th, 2008
The vet came over to my house yesterday and put my sister Cinder to sleep. She has been sick for a few days and the vets told my parents that she had a tumor pushing on her intestines. She hasn't been herself the last couple of weeks and my parents didn't notice until this past week because they have been focused on me and my poop, I was just diagnosed with EPI (Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency). I see my parents cry a lot. They say to each other how it's strange to not see her any more and how the routine has changed. I kind of think I know what's going on but when they came home from the vet this morning with my cat brother, I thought maybe they would bring Cinder home with them. My parents are in so much pain right now. I try to cheer them up with toys. My parents know they have done the right thing for her but they still miss her terribly. She would have been 15 in October. I think I will miss her because I have known her all my life. Thanks for listening.
Charley and Charley's Mom (Julie)
My mommy and daddy found out I have EPI today. EPI is exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. It basically means I don't create enough enzymes to digest my food. I started losing a lot of weight (15 pounds in total) over a span of a few months, had really bad diarrhea and my appetite for food was so great that I was stealing food off of my parents' plates -- right in front of their faces.
My parents are so relieved that they know what I have now, they have been so worried about my weight loss and my stomach problems. I have to have three small meals a day and take enzyme supplements with every meal for the rest of my life.
I'm also having to get shots because my vitamin B12 level is low. I also have SIBO which is Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth which happens when undigested food gets into my small intestines. I will have to take medicine for a little while for this.
I love all of the attention I'm getting and I'm feeling a little bit better now because my food is being digested correctly now and I'm having to "go" as many times a day as before.

- Learn how to increase the case plan's likelihood of success.
- See what a safety-related case plan looks like.
Child Safety: A Guide for Judges and Attorneys is a book that assists the legal community in better understanding certain social work constructs in child abuse and neglect cases. The purpose of the book is to educate attorneys and judges about the method by which child welfare agencies gather information about a family and make basic safety decisions such as initial removal and reunification, thereby helping attorneys and judges to be better equipped to hold the child welfare agency accountable to this process. Removal and reunification decisions have a profound impact on children and families. The Child Safety Guide demystifies the process of assessing child safety decision-making by providing a rigorous analytical framework that attorneys can use to actively involve themselves and their clients in defining and shaping safety decisions, thus providing effective representation on issues of removal and return of children throughout the life of the case.
The Guide is a collaborative project of the National Resource Centers on Child Protective Services and Legal and Judicial Issues. It lays out the underlying principles of safety decision-making in child welfare cases, and shows how agency adherence to these principles is the paramount issue before the court in making reasonable and active efforts findings. The Guide explains how to ensure that the bar for return remains where it was when children were removed—on whether the child is or can be made safe in the home—and that this question is not complicated by other considerations.
The Guide can also be useful for developing policy and bringing about systems change that strengthens due process of law, thus improving the legal system's ability to protect the Constitutional rights of families by ensuring that the executive branch of government adheres to the law and its own policies regarding removal and return of children.
The chapter reproduced here lays out what, on its face, appears to be a controversial premise which is: nothing in the family necessarily needs to change in order for the child to remain home, or be returned home if an in-home safety plan can sufficiently control threats. Safety plans are defined as strategies, activities, services that, when put together, will control for the threats and temporarily substitute for the parents' lack of sufficient protective capacities.
In some cases, an out-of-home safety plan needs to be established (i.e., a placement is made) because no amount of services or other strategies will keep the child safe. The threats are too pervasive, or volatile/unpredictable. In a situation like that, the progress made through the case plan strategies (reducing the threats and increasing protective capacities) may very well inform us later that now, if we do that analysis of "what would it take"—lead us to believe that the conditions for return are now met and an in-home safety plan will work.
This chapter also touches on the issue (further explored in other chapters) that while most courts tend to focus on mere "compliance" with a case plan, what is often neglected is whether the change services have had the impact they are intended to have, that is: have threats been reduced eliminated and/or have protective capacities been sufficiently enhanced to manage those threats such that the child can safely be returned home while the parents continues to work on the case plan?
The issues of safety, permanency and well-being are not in silos: they are interdependent. In developing more rigorous thinking about how to achieve permanency, this book (and accompanying technical assistance) separates out the safety piece in order to highlight how disciplined the decision making must be, and often leads to earlier, safer permanency outcomes for children while also enhancing child and family well being.
Free technical assistance is available to local courts on the principles of the Child Safety Guide. As a first step, please contact Jennifer Renne at firstname.lastname@example.com.
From Child Safety: A Guide for Judges and Attorneys, Chapter 8
The case plan is different from the safety plan in two respects:
• It details what must change to be "successful," such as terminating court jurisdiction; (versus an in-home safety plan detailing what must be controlled for the child to be placed at home).
• Its effect can be achieved over time (versus a safety plan day-by-day controlling threats of danger).
Federal and state laws and policies specify requirements for case plans (including requirements about the child and foster parents).
This article shows judges and advocates how to determine whether a case plan recommended by the parties a) is consistent with federal safety requirements; b) is consistent with a logical process for safety decision-making; and c) has a high likelihood of achieving "success."
Federal Foster Care Requirements: Titles IVB and IV-E of the Social Security Act, as Amended by the Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA)
When children are deemed unsafe and are placed out-of-home to assure safety, ASFA says the following about case plans:
Excerpt from ASFA
SEC. 475. [42 U.S.C. 675] as used in this part or part B of this title:
(1) The term "case plan" means a written document which includes at least the following:
(B) A plan assuring that the child receives safe and proper care and that the services are provided to parents, child and foster parents in order to improve conditions in the parents' home, facilitate return of the child to his own safe home (emphasis added)
(5) (B) the status of each child is reviewed periodically but no less frequently than once every six months by either a court or by administrative review…in order to determine the safety of the child, the continuing necessity for and appropriateness of the placement, the extent of compliance with the case plan, and the extent of progress which has been made toward alleviating or mitigating the causes necessitating the placement (emphasis added)
The case plan should contain a logical strategy for addressing the reasons the court became involved: threats of danger to the child and parents' insufficient protective capacity.
Federal law also establishes time limits for children in an out-of-home placement. These time limits make it essential that:
• The case plan lays out an effective and expedient strategy to prepare parents to ensure children's safety; and
• Progress under the case plan is evaluated frequently and revised when needed.
The case plan outcome should be a home environment with no threats of danger or, at least, sufficient protective capacities to manage such threats. The case plan should include goals, tasks, and timetables for services facilitating changes: eliminate specific threats of danger and develop protective capacities regarding threats.
Again, keep in mind that while the case plan should reduce threats of danger over time, the safety plan, out-of-home or in-home, ensures the child's safety now. While the case plan and safety plan may be written in the same document, it is helpful to keep their purposes distinct.
Note that a case plan covers more than safety outcomes; it also outlines how to get children's needs met. This article and the larger work from which it comes only address safety aspects of case plans.
Increasing the Case Plan's Likelihood for Success
Benchcard K
The judge should consider:
• Does the case plan include goals or tasks addressing changes in behaviors, commitments, and attitudes related to safety? Listing services people must attend, directing them to "follow all treatment recommendations," does not allow the court to measure progress, only to measure attendance or participation.
An example: "Alan will demonstrate an ability and willingness to delay his own needs to provide food, supervision, and attention for his daughter Kayla."
• Does the case plan follow logically from the threats and gaps in protective capacities in the home? Be precise when detailing a case plan's strategy, and specify what must change.
• Does the case plan duplicate the safety plan? If yes, one plan (or both) is not fulfilling its purpose. A case plan does not replace the safety plan, nor is it a duplicate. These plans work concurrently. The case plan works on changing things so the parents, in time, can keep their child safe without the court intervening; while the safety plan, in or out-of-home, helps control things now so the child stays safe from threats.
• Does the case plan target issues that influence threats of danger? Does it target conditions interfering with parent protective capacity? Some parents must deal with their own experiences of being victimized to develop protective capacities. Some mental health issues make a parent so ill-prepared for being protective that those issues must be addressed first. A case plan calling for the parent to "learn about child development" will fail if it does not address these crucial problems.
• How do parents react to the case plan? An experienced judge knows how to gauge a parent's hope, fear, or remorse.
• Does the case plan focus on reducing threats without also increasing protective capacities? The family has the best chance for success if they reduce threats and increase protective capacity. Compare the benefits of a) having a single mother end her live-in relationship with her boyfriend who physically abused her and her child; and b) helping that mother develop her alertness to danger and willingness to put her child first. If the first succeeds, one threat is eliminated. If the second succeeds, future threats will be managed by the mother. Both strategies can be in the case plan. Focusing solely on reducing threats, while more obvious, will likely limit long-term success.
Case Example: What a Safety-Related Case Plan Looks Like
Note: not all information will be provided in this sample excerpt of a case plan. Goals, services related specifically to the children's treatment needs, the foster parent, permanency planning requirements, etc. would also be included in a complete case plan. What follows is an example of a strategy that involves increasing protective capacities and decreasing threats of danger. (Of course, real case plans may follow other formats.)
Family Composition
Mother: Jennifer, age 21
Children: Ashante, age 4; Anijah, age 2, and Richard, age 8 months
Specific Threats
The parent's behavior is dangerously impulsive or she will not/cannot control her behavior.
In attempting to discipline the children, the mother lost her temper and ended up injuring Anijah's face with a broken broom. Although the mother was upset over the injury, she acknowledged that she felt that she was unable to control herself and unable to prohibit herself from hurting the children. The mother's general pattern of responding to problems and difficulties appears impulsive and short sighted, and at the time she is unaware of how her actions may result in serious harm to her children. The mother reports a history of "problematic relationships" with men characterized by verbal arguing and physical altercation, which she herself sometimes instigates. The mother has a previous charge of disorderly conduct to which she pleaded no contest. The mother's lack of foresight ("present-mindedness") and impulsive behavior coupled with numerous sources of stress limit her ability to manage her own behavior to keep from injuring the children.
The parent lacks parenting knowledge, skills, and motivation necessary to assure the children's basic needs are met.
The mother has difficulty establishing and applying consistent routines and rules for the children. She lacks planning and foresight in her care and discipline of her children. She has unrealistic expectations regarding the children's behavior, specifically feeling that the children are capable of managing themselves. These views, in effect, place the children in danger. She is unhappy in the parenting role. This compounds her feelings of stress and contributes to her outbursts toward the children.
The family does not have or use resources necessary to assure a child's basic needs.
The mother is unable to meet the children's basic needs for food, clothing, stable shelter, and medical treatment. This inability is due in part to her poverty, limited education, and lack of self discipline, and lack of job skills. It is also due to the mother's lack of planning, forethought, and effort to take necessary steps to provide for the needs of the children. Currently the mother is unemployed and she is reluctant to seek employment. Mother has a longstanding history of dependence on others: boyfriends and relatives meet her needs and makes decisions based on the crisis of the moment. The mother's lack of planning has caused her increased stress; feeling of being trapped and isolated; inability to maintain stable housing; inconsistency in providing for the children's food, shelter, and medical care; and impulsiveness in her care of the children.
Case Plan (Child Currently in Foster Care)
Case Plan Strategy Or Objective
By focusing on enhancing specific parent protective capacities that Jennifer lacks, and by using appropriate services to help, Jennifer will become able on her own to manage her behaviors or other issues that are causing the threats to the children.
Case Plan Goals
Jennifer can effectively think through, develop and discuss realistic long term plans for assuring the protection and basic needs of the children; she is proactive in seeking help; she anticipates problems and is solution focused in her response.
Jennifer is creative and adaptive as a parent as evidenced by being able to adjust to changes in her life; and she makes reasonable choices to effectively deal with the challenges facing her and her children.
Jennifer is able to cope with stresses and is determined to see plans through in order to manage her life and care for her children.
Jennifer can control her emotions and behavior; she is tolerant when dealing with the children; and is able to consistently manage their behavior in ways that are helpful to them and to her.
Jennifer uses resources necessary to meet the children's basic needs and is thoughtful about how best to use resources to assure the long terms care of the children (i.e. stable housing, food, and clothing).
Services to Help Achieve Goals
Individual therapy, 1x per week, with Jane Doe, Ph.D.
Home management skill building, 2x per month, with DSS parent aide and 1x/month with CPS worker
Employment and Housing Assistance,
18 sessions beginning 12/1, with DSS economic assistance program
Support Group for Adults Who Were Victims as Children, 1x per week, at mental health clinic
Case Management Responsibility
CPS social worker will help enroll Jennifer in the above services and resources. The worker will coordinate and communicate with all parties to routinely evaluate the progress of the case plan goals and notify the court of any significant events or need for revision.
Progress Evaluation Timeframe
Every 90 days the CPS worker will consider Jennifer's progress and make adjustments as needed. The CPS worker's sources for information regarding Jennifer's progress will be from Jennifer herself, the CPS worker's own observations, the parent aide, Dr. Jane Doe, the mental health clinic support group facilitator, and Jennifer's economic assistance worker.

AEHQ: "Doing Fine" Remark Becomes Election Battle [VIDEO]
Both campaigns are reacting to the sparks started by President Obama's campaign plans for the private sector, and a remark he made about the issue last week.
FOX News Radio's Liz White has this election update:
Audio clip:
From America's Election Headquarters…
Fielding questions after President Obama's comment that the private sector is "doing fine":
(Axelrod) "I agree with the President, who called the press conference on Friday to say that we need to take a series of very urgent steps to accelerate job creation in this country."
David Axelrod, the President's Senior Campaign Adviser, on CNN's "State of the Union." Rick Santorum, telling ABC's "This Week" Mitt Romney's plan is "far superior":
(Santorum) "Lowering taxes and getting this economy going in the private sector, which has been dragging."
Romney released a web video blasting the "doing fine" remark, casting the President as out of touch, something the Obama campaign has tried against Romney.

[quote user="Morehead State"] Not bogus studies by posted by Daven. [/quote]
Hey I take offense to that, the reason I even posted it was because it was from Mass and I know you are from Mass and wanted your opinion on it because I didn't know, I never claimed it to be fact.
but it is common sense that if you cover more people with the same (or less doctors) wait times will increase...it's impossible for them not to, it's also common sense that once bureaucracy gets involved every system gets bogged down...the quality of care and length of wait both necessarily HAVE to get worse...it's simply the only logical conclusion.
about why some people claim they love their nationalized health care (Canada/UK) and some claim they hate it in the same places....I have to think they simply do not understand or have never used the alternative.

Mut and Merloni recap to the Red Sox opening day win against the Yankees, the play of Jackie Bradley Jr, and Jon Lester's start.
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
Our report get into explaining how the Red Sox are not gonna go 162 and now. -- Jackie Bradley -- not quite eligible. For the baseball -- try to do that between now at 2 o'clock retires first you would just say goodbye to. One of the truly good guys in the business Steve Todd tried to -- this out and I mean. You get this business and you guys would agree that the name names but not everyone. Is the good guy off the air that they seem on the year there's a lot of you more -- out on Terry's not. Jerry's not part of that group but dare -- say there's certain statements about this industry quite frankly when he got. Well -- DO. You get into the business and people want the same on and off the air in a lot of cases Steve Jobs you're the producer of the morning show's been around for fifteen years. Is one of the rare cases where he's a good guy on the air kind of goofy but a good guy and he's as good guy off the year. And now the station that shows canals miss him going forward and I think eagle will be -- far -- -- only. -- That's such judge's -- -- introduce Lou too much anymore. We -- we absolutely love charts he's meant the confidence of the station we wish him all the best it's. I wonder what it feels like two more on their alarm goes off they'll be just if I can get it in time W I can't get the alarm and I thought he forgot it often just goes off because -- -- laughs off. The -- Right. Like a meter did it do mean that's. That's a tough -- No question about it but he used it was one of the best in dealing with those guys each and every day's gob bless them all that's the hardest part to deal with John and -- and now many hand. Who's a -- himself. Before our six hours today to count and he gets the good luck and has so. So sure how he doesn't. They're out there that are good in the mother Shipley and Chris Curtis is in the house now yeah he's he's gonna take that the race he's he's far artisans ditch now taken over which has me worried. Two things number one. It's good in some ways it's good for us boys you know lie document no more stalling that's. All skull and guests on the show we can assume a -- booking guests for certain time crank it up jelly. I want shot at a waste -- is getting gas for a certain time. I have no more fear that that guests might be out between six and ten K Kevin -- are back on the -- That's what positive fearful but he beat on the W you know. I think if they Curtis is a -- -- -- now you never know all all. -- It's a deal -- at a bus early tomorrow now here's the or note here's the other and it's good. Is all these people come out of the woodwork on the ATP excellent 37937. They want charges job Texas says I needed job. What is a producer do. Any spells do here she spells do. You he is call flight perfect -- is a -- job -- -- tell about as good as job that you Nagy and stitch only the only what is a producer do. -- or feel it there. So congratulations as the judge -- he'll certainly be missed around here but -- our guest list -- baby. No more worries about chick in the website with the -- -- one ever guessed that it Steve Jobs in. It got one of -- free and clear at least for the time being. Said yesterday and you looked at me funny happens everyday but this specifically said no team in baseball needs opening day. What the Boston Red Sox in 2013. After I saw I stand by that game that effort that results. Is exactly the elixir. This organization easily as they try to wipe away. What happened last week and a -- -- trying to say now have to watch the weather played I don't actually I still don't a little strange that. -- you made it sound like it would do or die. It'll I didn't they'd lose it well except for you got it Wednesday one that everybody goes back them. The same feelings if they win everything's changed it was a good script there's no question about it. You know I ethic last there aren't DB after the game intently said something and it was it was gonna. Well I watched this game it felt looking in at the take a shower afterwards. Meaning like last year when you watch the Red Sox she just didn't feel dirty again just that help in my watch and with this team and and last season in September. Last night it felt good. It -- clean. Nicky watched this game and you're like okay this is this is welcome back baseball. Like this is what you want now that Yankee lineup. OK let's let's I predicted them to go to finish last. And I'm not saying that is a great lineup as far as -- standards goes embarrassing. Lineup. But that doesn't matter because of what this Red Sox team needs needs to accomplish they went out and won the ballgame it's opening day. They did a great way. We added it's it's one game of 162. It's the New York Yankees and CC not having any of his stuff. Yankee -- that's not very good but it doesn't matter. It it felt like baseball was was played the right way and Republicans spent a long time since you've seen I. I thought that from beginning and what tank -- that is pretty pretty true. And you asked the question yesterday you know it is happening more than wins. Again like yesterday is more than -- I point to the -- one of the game. -- Jonny Gomes scores from second on a basic. And you would have thought that that was the go ahead run in the sixty -- of a marathon against the Yankees in the middle of September. Not opening day. And there was something refreshing about that there was something. These guys actually looked like. And yes -- they won the games that's part of it but they look like they gave a crap about the game golf all around it at first slot little hook slide and the way you react the Boston Herald that in the third picked at third page and the picture org almost on the Rick flair. After the run it like eight to six run lead. I get it it's not always going to be like this but boy that's a really good start to show that much not just effort. But intensity in that game attic fans are looking for that and not goals of the eight -- sort of summed it up for me. That these guys are more into it they. And they get more and it's a much better feeling overall he had opening day a year ago and I know John Ferrell Bobby Gallup has huge part of that but just the way. Late and -- right about at a lot to do too with some of the new faces I think that down a Mike Napoli obvious -- for five seem accused tick off the fastball -- -- That ball to get in -- filed some good pitches back. Opening day in my alert about Mike Napoli not really aware about defensively first in overtime but offensively I think he's gonna hit. It would look at the other guys -- ever but it criticizing Victor Reno. Right SI dot com Eddie pole with a majority they're -- -- it's a victory they'll be the biggest free agent -- We talked about it before. It which which deal do you look at this offseason and say well three years 3913. -- four per year. What -- -- for a great defense steal some bags. We'll shield us from plays out. Big RBI to a lot of RBIs two runs scored are a couple of RBIs rather Jonny Gomes gets cup what it's like you mentioned before. Ladies out there it shows up playing defense and in three hits on -- campaign and leave the infield still push but be excited at a Smart baseball play up. And then you get the kid. Out of left field. Right -- before we get him coach you we are comes in five pitches thanks a comment generate comes in not a close situation but still all of a sudden. There's in 97. That we talked about spring training closures let's remember happened spring. Coming in -- third inning fourth inning early on coming in the fifth inning sixth inning later spring goes guys don't come in ninth. Please go crazy walked out that and get up and you get ready for ninth inning. Journalists not there velocity is way down rhetoric comes in bowl 9697. Bailey. I consider him a new guy right because -- volume lashed out here -- yes so it was the new guys. That fresh air right just a breath of fresh air on this team and it started with them before before it left field. Rock and 44. No word yet as if they are really gonna wave the -- say got to retire and Jackie Bradley -- an -- of the whole thing while he still play. Based on what happened yesterday now we know this shows that if your fan of the show. They show what a different approach in the morning guys did. I thought the Jackie Bradley junior should not be your -- complete eggs a service time. -- talked about him maybe not being re not that's about being not being ready. But I don't want to put words you about the the hundred bats -- will little Brusca teleport -- the pats are to get out to a good start he's played one game the Red Sox who won and now. There's your pressure changed at all about Gelman I changed my general impression of one game. But I'm not gonna see your NC didn't affect their game there's no question that he did it was it was beautiful to watch. You're talking about it -- Think they really realize. How different this kid is. By the way he played that game yesterday the calmness that he brought for twenty year old Kate -- point three this month playing at the levels that he played at. The that the things that he brought brings to a game right defense and base running both played every level. Doesn't matter your -- ball great base runner with instinct play defense just doesn't matter they play. You know with the approach at the plate drawing is walks but with the other two wanna start with. Because him beating out there's the speed alone beating up the ground ball Gleason is right second base. It is not just the speed it's that things you can see permanent base past the instincts. The secondary leads balls and hurt him getting a good -- standing on second base or maybe got a doesn't have that kind of think the debate -- won't be getting the extra base. So was the jump. It was kitten at the speed itself. And -- created three runs between doesn't get the two RBI single Droid doesn't get RBIs to a RBI single. That created three runs. And -- defense. I'm very high level I mean this kid played center field test any help fill these position to play center field did you get a true read off the bat. When he -- -- in the corners left these slice in the ball -- a hook in the ball lot of wind up there. Very impressive catch I love the fact deeply shallow he's taken hits away and conference single -- debate on on the ball. Huge impact on this game is no question for one day. You deserve to be -- big leagues in the impacted this game and help them win again. You don't -- general. -- much -- changes to one game. Yeah I mean in my my server -- arguments not changed other than boy if he plays like this. Is can be virtually impossible the finals when he -- this year -- -- you. You can say 2019 doesn't matter -- -- be sarcastic about it was all he wants but plenty of family. -- -- to weaken -- -- UN Leuer not the server stamping is garbage well. Yet this year it probably is -- being cart because he plays like that with that intensity that flair for the game that patients which will get you. Let's send him back -- if you do you're gonna have hello I am basket in the Red Sox fan base. They're out of it and probably spoil -- this makes it will because Rodham we're gonna find -- twenty days minor league level -- got a golden ducks. Opulent nuts laughter -- some -- there's a place -- could it and they try to bottom twenty days the minor league level. So why it is not change we said yesterday now they cheered you play the guy you made your bed now sleep in an appeal the Boston Red Sox. 6177797937. The phone a beacon text -- On the -- -- -- 3798371. To get your impressions. What you saw opening day -- -- -- not that one of 162 opening days all out. That's why it's fun especially here in Boston when you get that -- performance he beat the Yankees. Who looked miserable yesterday 6177797937. The eight TT tech slide is 379837. Ought to get rewarded Jackie Bradley junior in his day in general put that first at bat. I'll get to your phone calls as well money -- Waiting 12 pitch. His first big they get back here it is. Great discipline because its second homes it first and how much leaderboard. Bradley drew ten walks in spring training the best pitchers in the game. Perhaps he comes to the -- The 22. And a little bit low again make this a plant. On a pitch just off the plate counts. 32. -- -- They hold the pitch they walked him -- -- a wayward ball for a lot of it back. I'll walk by Bradley loading them operate Iglesias. He was behind 02. And three really close pitches he talked. And I also think is an indication that sabathia right now is just not chart. Two walks in the inning. A fastball that's been sitting around 89 he doesn't look quite like him so. They hold the pitch walk gave -- this low and away the ball for a lot of mid back. I'll walk. By Bradley loading them offering Iglesias. May first at bat on the nervous scale one to 1010 being just out of your mind nervous and one being calm cool collected where were you in your first at bat. To. The surprise. Yeah I'm pretty relaxed. Like this -- they -- Every bad name and -- over you know to me -- the worst that happened. I heard the call from Joker stick Leone yesterday at first at bat for Jackie Bradley junior -- you heard him early today. Which DNC it's not -- ID 37 WEEI getting all your reaction. -- to what you saw opening day of the Red Sox including Jackie Bradley junior. We've probably. Some level better than advertised when he think about what happened in that first at bat. He's down 02 against one of the tougher lefties in baseball. And he's able to work a walk in that situation. I added there was at least one pitch. That was as borderline as borderline get strike first at ball and was able lay off. Make make the argument should've gotten a call but to have that patience. In that situation your first at -- Yankee Stadium family their beyoncé there. You get an opportunity at that age you won your job in spring training. We would have that patients out of that was the they talked about -- running you talked about the plane left field to me that first at bat. Was the most impressive thing Jackie Bradley junior did yesterday to lay out those pitches -- to work a walk. Acted not well new rookie at the plate yesterday for the Boston -- No it did not and that's that's impressive thing with him I mean you saw all the all the little things that dispute talked about right plate discipline. Speed base running instincts and defense so -- everything was on display. You know in the opening day you know you took. We look -- come out of one fastball way take a slider action his first pitch I think he took for strike and then -- the -- of the two seamer down and in and that was the pitch that. Yeah actually warm out a second back to back to back and get a swing and all were so. That's the only thing you saw that game yesterday said okay. From a lefty two seamer down and in now be -- that this cutters and varieties are a lot that was -- pitching didn't handle. Under the net very impressive for a kid to go up there and knowing it of these been nervous tractor -- attendees that it too. And that is. I don't think there's anybody that's ever had an opening day in the big -- would ever say that anybody you know it's always 910 through the roof. You know out of body experience -- -- no wait a rat he turned it. Yep deeper DP just wanna swing the bat for get a cup match a first pitch and you wanna get up they're trying to get hit that first pitch. Not Jackie Bradley the patience he showed not a 12 slider down away or away off the -- Great take surprise it -- him up you know right sabathia got umbrella but still the kid doesn't wary about. -- -- the great things about plate discipline when you're not concerned. But hitting with two strikes. -- already ahead of the game if you look at Jose police to get three hits. I think he's afraid it would too stretched to the -- because you get two strikes expand the zone starts Blair and everything Jackie's not. And that's a very extract extremely advanced approach. My approach is not get to your strengths and put you know I like doing -- -- pitches. Some big enough I don't wanna swinging to try to get myself out. So I'm environment you know even if it's fear that it. I just not a word. And you know not take anything that's the thing you know you didn't think it's ahead like that. You know he's taken a particularly good news coming out of prison. -- and the other thing too CC sabathia and guy he didn't have his good stuff you know velocity -- and recovering from cleaning out his double -- in the off season but still last year. I think only -- laureate who walks after it -- -- to. All year wall to hitters. -- two counts on and went on to walk them all year. As just it's impressive that you stay within himself he didn't get outside of his approach with the nerves are going on for opening day to face ago Alex sabathia. Very impressive. Tickets say enough about the April and as the game went on right I mean hadn't gotten hit by parties get on base beat by frustrated with that one back of the box and went back to the pitcher. And get himself on base they're too I mean just the just the whole approach of the the feeling there. And of being -- game in that spotlight Ali that it was even more than expectation I don't as a patient and you talked about the the patients he showed you know last year over the course of -- of CIA and double -- He walked 87 times struck -- 89 times that's that's pretty rare for minor -- right -- that's sort of a plate discipline there discipline excuse me. I wasn't expected to see I expected as you guys whenever issues expect the guy try to hit a seven run homer. And I think that's. Bodes well for the Red Sox and bodes well for him because he's willing to and at first at bat stick with what made him such an intriguing prospect -- minor league level widget boy. Only two more strikeouts -- walks and high and double. That's huge I crazy or might peck when they -- Kuroda on Wednesday. He's back in their -- and higher in about a quarter. Right because he takes a many pitches up 26 pages in total yesterday tied for second most of the Red Sox -- Brooks finally Jarrod Saltalamacchia. Against the righty. Could -- be up a spot or two because ability take those pitches. And set things up in the bottom of the -- I think what they're searching for news you know against -- and hear your victory -- and Gomes -- slot against lefties is no question but I think against lefties. You know we heard. Against Friday's rather we heard John Ferrell during spring training -- that being not a could very well its second against. Against Fridays because they like his baton left satcher. I expect Jackie Brown would be in second morning. Against Kuroda second and and you should feel comfortable ball that is because of his approached the plate now now we'll see -- this thing plays out. But I would expect it right now why would you put -- out there against -- so that was before. Jackie Bradley came in equation he its second against Kuroda allowed the -- -- and what I've been a big step 6177797937. The phone a beacon text us. On the eighteenth tee decks on 37937. Get all your react Jackie Bradley junior. The Red Sox want and I'll start chosen Norwood he's up would not Lou 937 I joke. I don't. Which nobody checked -- re trying to in the outlook thank you -- we go from here. Well we don't guys in the morning do just turning to do what we saw yesterday from him. I want to continue minute -- let go out. At Fenway Park yes actually flew out to center Kansas City my official first apparent. That's a group would have gladly do lunch and he made it pretty good catchy what treat and I -- go home run the other double. It -- Internet yet. Have a -- let me Jo-Jo -- let's put up quite a bit. What are you -- -- just talk about -- game I don't at all. A sudden a one game I mean I still I still feel the way I feel a bowl with a decision that they may -- the impact -- -- six year. And a Mac champion idiot Nazi impacted that game and it was impressive Joseph he didn't have a hit. -- had a huge impact in the game would you agree is that oppressive in itself that he didn't even have a double or triple or homeless and still. I think everyone's talking about the impact he had based running defense is up 26 pitches yesterday in his first major league of bad games he's -- Well I think he'd get out right but you guys are a little over the top. Okay thanks. Got a TO. -- it's wrong I'm -- called over the top. What the hell is going on today. Were called over the top. On JBJ -- just one handymax -- yeah. Down Iglesias had a hundred Lester when he went five the bullpen faced a horrible line up it's the Yankees ahead in fifth. Awful day awful opening day for the Boston Red Sox the team is miserable. These guys are a waste of money it's just one game -- knock it over hyped let's just stay miserable. I want this -- mightily to start the year and even I admit. That he was terrific yesterday not give -- him and think of how rare that is I think it was the first the first rookie. Since 1990. And I forget the guy whose name as I apologize I mean you spent all and twenty years who has had three walks into this -- game -- a Major League level has spent the monkey as a Red Sox fans you spent the last seven months of baseball. Being miserable. And embarrassed. And just look at shaking your -- go what the hell in my watching. The this is just from top to bottom. Just -- that this organization. They won one game I still don't that -- gonna win 95. You know I was I was impressed that the way they won the game there's some good things. Can you just enjoy it.

A rookie reserve for the twins that any -- And they know this guy -- RR Dolan did for the twins wager at first to draw three walks since then as a rookie. It's pretty impressive if your baseball fan -- if I'm home runs but think about the patience that it takes that up and down 02 under which you'd be.

for fire burning might be better.......but heck rppm is bit low for fire :P

I dont see how fire's procrate is so much lower. Is it really because we use some dots that we will proc it far more often thus the base has to be allot lower? In that case I dont see how its half of for example affliction locks and like 1/6th of boomkins.
And now they "manipulate" the new RPPM by introducing factors for each spec. Clever! No clue why.
They did it for limited item like Legendary meta since they are designed to be in BiS list.
They use it to help them balance the class/spec between each other (with Blizzard criteria)
The answers is 42
Any idea if it will be worth using as fire? Or will rolling ignite dots make it as viable for Fire as all other classes?
Am I going nuts? I was under the impression this "legendary meta" was going to be in addition to the current primals metas. Did I make that up in an ambien empowered dream or did I read that a while back?
At one point datamining found an item that people thought might be an extra meta socket for the legendary gem. It turned out to be wrong and the legendary does replace your primal meta.

Whelp! That's pretty lame, but that being said there better be some hard evidence that the legendary meta doesn't parse as well for fire as the current primal. I have an extremely hard time believing it could come out worse.
the meta might be good next tier.

Maybe I'm missing something, but in a few posts before that, GC said:

yes, but I'm assuming with the changes that dot damage is taken into account now, hence the fire multiplier being so low. If it works out at 1.8 base procs per minute they've done a good job of the new balancing, I'll not hold my breath for that though :P
Website made avatars are too large for this forum. Time they upgraded back to the old days when it WASN'T a problem. Curse you've dragged this forum down!
He's talking about the 1.18 base RPPM that GC mentioned the first time around, though it looks like he just gave the total the second time. Rather confusing, if you ask me.


text: by Martin Bergstedt Mar 16, 2011 Comments (0) AIChE Topics: Energy Biological Engineering Sustainability & Environment Events & Conferences Share This Post: This post is presented by SBE, the Society for Biological Engineering--a global organization of leading engineers and scientists dedicated to advancing the integration of biology with engineering. 2011 Spring Meeting As the world faces increasing energy challenges, one of the holy grails is a way to use waste carbon gasses to create new fuels or other high-value products. The ability to capture CO/CO2 to make a combustible fuel offers the possibility of a low/no-CO2 fuel. LanzaTech is currently piloting a CO/CO2 capture process, using a proprietary microbe that extracts carbon gasses from the air, to make fuel ethanol, using the basic oxygen furnace (BOF) gas from a steel mill in China. Roughly 30% of the carbon is converted into ethanol. The Process The waste gasses need to contain at least 15-20% carbon to avoid wasted (inert) capacity and the cost of unnecessarily oversized equipment. The waste gas is filtered then compressed into a storage/feed tank system. The fermentation takes place in a proprietary gas/liquid reactor system (pilot plant size of 500 gal) with controlled waste gas sparging. A particularly interesting aspect of the process is that the waste gas provides both the energy for growth (in the form of CO and/or H2) and the ethanol feedstock (the CO and CO2). The fermentation process produces ethanol primarily. However, 7-10 mole % of 2,3-butanediol (BDO) is also produced. BDO is a potential precursor to other value-added (non-fuel) products, and in some feedstock situations, may be the preferred result of the fermentation. The ultimate purification and dehydration of the ethanol will follow standard ethanol product plant technologies, although proprietary processes are currently under consideration. Variables The carbon-to-hydrogen ratio of the waste gas can vary, with hydrogen being the preferred energy supply. However the microbe can use carbon to create the necessary hydrogen in situ if the feed gas is defficient, at the cost of shunting that carbon away from the alcohol production pathway. Feedstock gasses currently piloted come from a particular process unit of the steel mill. However, based upon the nature of the wastes, petcoke and vacuum bottoms with pre-gassification steps are potential feedstocks, and waste biomass and municipal solid wastes are also potential candidates. The bugs seem particularly robust to the presence of contaminants like H2S. Currently, the process is run in a continuous mode, with continuous removal of micro-organisms to maintain the desired average cell life. Future Plans The pilot plant is currently operating as expected. The next phase is to construct a "demonstration" plant capable of producing 100,000 gal/year. It is estimated that the large steel mill that LanzaTech has been working with could produce, full scale, over 50,000,000 gal/year of ethanol. For additional information, visit LanzaTech's web site, or contact Dr. Mike Schultz. What's your reaction to the work Lanza is doing? Log in to post comments

MADISON, Wis. -- The University of Michigan men's track and field team is currently in third place after the opening day of the Big Ten Outdoor Championships on Friday (May 11) at Wisconsin's McClimon Track. Junior Jack Greenlee (Cincinnati, Ohio/St. Xavier) clinched the pole vault title, while sophomore Ethan Dennis (Grand Rapids, Mich./Grandville) finished runner-up in the hammer throw to score 18 points for the Wolverines.
Greenlee cleared a personal-best height of 5.26 meters (17-3) to win the pole vault title. He cleared the height on his first attempt, while the remaining two vaulters cleared the bar on their second attempts. Greenlee captured the title after all three vaulters failed to clear 5.36 meters (17-7).
Dennis reached a distance of 62.71 meters (205-9), just 1.5 inches shy of his personal-best mark, to take second in the hammer. In his collegiate postseason debut, freshman Brad Bolton (Lake Forest, Calif./El Toro) finished just outside the scoring positions in ninth place with a toss of 59.65 meters (195-8).
Senior/junior Kurt Reichenbach (Brighton, Mich./Pinckney Community) competed in the decathlon, recording personal-best marks in two of the five events on the first day -- 11.25 in the 100-meter dash and 6.69 meters (21-11.50) in the long jump. He tallied 3,675 points to put him in 12th place halfway through the competition.
In the 10,000-meter run, sophomore/freshman Mark Beams (Vicksburg, Mich./Vicksburg) placed 10th in a personal-best time of 30:04.56, while junior Zach Ornelas (Cedar Park, Texas/Vista Ridge) finished 12th in 30:18.55.
Reichenbach will compete in the remaining five events of the decathlon tomorrow (Saturday, May 12), including the 800-meter run, discus, pole vault, javelin and the 1,500-meter run.

NMMI vs. Alumni judge: 'It all boils down to money'
Court proceedings began Tuesday between the New Mexico Military Institute and its former Alumni Association, in a case that has pitted brother against brother in a bitter dispute over money and reputations.
At the heart of the issue is whether the Alumni Association can legally keep using the Institute's name and logos to continue raising money and hold onto $5 million it has collected in the school's name.
"It all boils down to the money, obviously," said Eddy County District Court Judge Jane Shuler-Grey, during the proceedings as the Association was discussing the deteriorated relationship.
Shuler-Grey scheduled only one hour for a preliminary injunction hearing and a motion by the Alumni Association to dismiss NMMI's legal counsel. But she delayed her other morning hearings to allow as much testimony as possible.
By noon, the judge recessed the case until further evidence could be heard. Shuler-Grey said she would make a ruling on the request to dismiss NMMI's attorneys by the end of this week. Another court date could be [auth] set by the end of the month.
During Tuesday's hearing, testimony reflected the sour divide that now exists between the Institute and its former fundraising and alumni support organization.
Testimony by NMMI President and Superintendent Gen. Jerry Grizzle and Alumni Association President John Phinizy included emails exchanges, Facebook postings and popularity of certain alumni members, allegations of strong-arming and controlling of board members by the Association.
The Institute ended its nearly 50-year relationship with the Association financial and management concerns that started in 2009, according to its lawsuit.
The Alumni Association filed its answer to the lawsuit July 31, spelling out its plans to fight allegations of past financial trouble, management turnover and assertions that the group's function is to serve the school and its cadets.
One major focal point of Tuesday's hearing was an agreement the Association signed with the NMMI Board of Regents in March 2012. The agreement specified that the Association could only use NMMI trademarks, logos, name and marks if the agreement was current.
That agreement was terminated in April.
"They are conveniently ignoring that agreement," said NMMI spokesman Carl Hansen last week. "That agreement is not in place and it won't be again. It has been terminated."
The Association's attorneys argued the group was "strong-armed" by the Institution into accepting the agreement.
"It was basically a done deal," Phinizy told the court. "There was no discussion from the board. This is what Gen. Grizzle wants. We need to pass it."
Grizzle disputed having any intentions of trying to control the Association, though the Association's Attorney, Jeffrey Dahl, asked if he wanted to "get rid" of certain members, or "couldn't stand" others.
"Everything depends on your perspective, obviously," Shuler-Grey said.
Dahl argued that the NMMI letters, trademarks and logos were never registered by the state or federal agencies by the school. Therefore, the Association has as much a right to use them as the Institution, and the school cannot demand that the Association stop using them.
"They have not registered them either," Dahl said. "Who has a better claim to the trademarks?" Dahl said, following the hearing.
The divide has had a ripple effect with Institute alumni across the nation, according to some testimony providing by NMMI—the fallout of a break-up of what continued to further tear apart the brotherhood of the Institution that has existed since 1891.
Upcoming Homecoming events are being held by both competing groups.
"The confusion exists with the Institution putting on its own activities and the Alumni Association not affiliated with it is putting on its own activities," Grizzle said.
Grizzle also said further evidence that alumni across the nation are affected by the ongoing confusion caused by the Alumni Association's decision to continue operating.
At a recent event put on by NMMI's Office of Alumni Affairs, held in Overland, Kan., 50 alumni were expected to attend. But, only 15 showed, Grizzle told the court.
"The ones in attendance stated that they did not attend because of the confusion," Grizzle said.

His pipe dream comment was because Norv has no ties to Harbaugh. Simply put, we need an OC, he's been a good OC. That is THE only connection. More likely, we'd go with Caldwell, or another coach Harbaugh and company is familiar with. Jim Zorn and Hue Jackson come to mind. Also, dark horse...Al Saunders...not sure what he's up to, but he was here as a Senior Offensive Consultant.

When Giving USA reported last summer that overall giving had decreased in 2009, many wondered how long this trend would continue and how philanthropy will be affected during the long, slow recovery period.
Last week Guidestar shared encouraging results from its November 2010 Fundraising Survey. The survey shows more organizations are reporting increased contributions for the first three quarters of 2010 compared with the same time period in 2009. However, as the graph below shows, nearly the same percentage of organizations reported that giving was up as those that reported giving was down. Larger organizations (those with annual expenses of $1 million or greater) were more likely to report increased contributions.
The study also shares that organizations are feeling cautiously optimistic about giving for the end of 2010 and starting into 2011. Of the organizations who receive the bulk of contributions in the last quarter of the year, 36 percent predict that contributions received during the fourth quarter of 2010 will exceed those from the last quarter of 2009 and 43 percent expect end-of-year contributions to be about the same as last year. Only 22 percent anticipate that end-of-year contributions will be lower. Additionally, most organizations were hopeful about 2011. About 47 percent planned budget increases and only 20 percent anticipated a lower budget for 2011.
At The Collins Group, we know that overall charitable giving is influenced by major campaigns – whether for capital, program expansion, or endowment fundraising. In 2009, few major campaigns were launched and there was a significant decrease in the number of campaign feasibility studies being conducted in our region and around the country.
Our firm's experience this year also holds promise for increased giving in our region for 2011. We have conducted more feasibility studies in the fall of 2010 than in all of 2009, and many have come back with positive results. Several of our clients will launch campaigns next year – donors are ready and invested in their visions and strategic initiatives.
It may be slow-going, but I am hopeful that philanthropy will help signal confidence that economic recovery is underway. The results of these investments will undoubtedly help our communities bounce back.
What has your organization experienced this year? Are you hopeful about this giving season, or 2011? We'd love to hear from you.

a simpler time

bold= male char.
bold+italic= female char.
the patter of the ball hitting the glove has taken me back to my childhood ; back to a simpler time where i could float through life without a worry in the world. i had become so caught up with my memories, that i almost missed the ball flying past my head. a slight sprinkle has started and i close my eyes to take in the feeling of the rain as it hits my skin; out of nowhere i hear a familiar voice call out to me, "HEY! Throw the ball over here!"; my best friend stands across the field from me and has gotten into a stance that shows that she is ready for the ball. she is the prettiest girl in our grade. she has dark brown hair, bright blue eyes, a medium complexion, and when the lights hits her just right, she glows. "Hang on!" i shout out. I start walking toward her, and as soon as she saw that, she started walking toward me. as we get closer, my mind starts racing and my heart starts pounding. "What's wrong?" she asks. "I have something to tell you" i say, and let out a nervous laugh. "Yeah, what is it?" i blush as i let out another nervous laugh, "Don't think i'm weird or anything, but i think i am falling for you."

Last Valentine's Day was hard.I had had plans, of course. I was going to continue the tradition that my boyfriend and I had started two years earlier where we give each other President's Day cards instead of Valentine's Day cards. The card was still sitting in my desk drawer. It said, "You baRACK! You're da oBAMa!"But now the plans were cancelled because there was no one to give the stupid card to anymore and the student union was rubbing it in my face with all the hearts on the walls that … [Read more...]

Why do you know your limitations?
"I can't do that," a friend of mine said to me recently. "I know my limitations."I've heard that phrase many times. "I know my limitations."But my question to anyone who has uttered those four words is this: why do you know your limitations?Do you know your limitations because you put them there? Did you hand pick the bricks to build up the walls you've put around your life?Or, do you know your limitations because you've been to them? Because you've tested them and pushed them?Do you … [Read more...]
Words bruise
As I've discussed in several of my posts lately, my first boyfriend was abusive.He didn't hit me very often (in fact, I only remember him hitting me once). He didn't need to. He could bench press 300 lbs, so I was just a rag doll to him. He pushed me around, threw me into things, or picked me up and shook me when he was angry. If I tried to run away, he would grab my arm so tightly that it would leave bruises in the shape of his hand.Those things hurt. They hurt badly. And the bruises were … [Read more...]

I played a great joke on my dad yesterday at work (hehehe). We were at a house and we went to the truck to do something. Dad took so much time at the truck that I got bored. I decided to trick him. When dad finished what he was doing, he looked down and I was GONE (hahaha). The funniest part is that we were working at a house that was by a mountain similar to the one I ran up a few weeks ago, so dad started calling and calling me to come back down the hill. When I didn't come, he started up the mountain to find me (guffaw). He got quite a way up the steep hill when one of his coworkers yelled, "Hey, he's right here sitting in the garage." Isn't that hilarious? I was only a few feet away all the time (HAHAHAHA). What a chump!
MUD! Mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, splash, splash, splash, run, run, splash, splash, mud, mud, mud! Zooming through the mud! Running through the mud! Back and forth through the wonderful, wet, mushy mud! MUD, MUD, MUD! I've never had so much fun in my life! What do you mean, BATH? Wait, no, not that! This mountain stream is cold! Stand still? You must be crazy! But-- the mud is coming off! You don't understand...my wonderful mud! Oh, shucks.
Hi everyone, Harvey back again. I had a great time last weekend at the lake. I met a Lab--he's my new best friend! It was great! We played together for a few minutes and everything! Then during the week, my Dad took me to a new house at work and I met a Springer Spaniel! She's my new best friend too, even if she did growl at me! I still love her. Her Mommy let me into the house so I ran around like a nut and climbed on her nice comfy white bedspread! (It's not my fault that my feet were wet--sheesh!) Then the next day my Dad took me for a long lunchtime walk up the mountain, and while Dad was looking at the pretty colored leaves, I ran ahead up the hill! Boy, was my Dad scared! He yelled and yelled for me. I was busy sniffing all the good smells, so I didn't go back right away. My Dad is so silly! He thought I was lost for a few minutes! I wasn't lost! I knew right where I was. I wish he wouldn't get so excited when I'm trying to have fun! Maybe he should cut back 0n the caffeine! Well, time for dinner. I wonder what the cats are having tonight? It's always so much tastier than my food. See ya!

Every moment of every day the brain is forced to process thousands of separate odorants from the world around us.
Through a new study of honeybees, scientists at UQ's Queensland Brain Institute have discovered the brain has an advanced ability to isolate specific odours and recollect smells.
"There's a lot of information coming into the brain whenever a scent is detected and it would be difficult to process it all," lead researcher Dr Judith Reinhard said.
"We've found that honeybees pick only a handful of so-called 'key odorants' out of every complex aroma that they really learn. They may remember just two or three odorants from a couple of hundred, the rest are ignored."
Colleague Dr Charles Claudianos said if you had to learn the hundreds of compounds your brain would be overwhelmed with information.
"By choosing the key odorants, you can function more effectively without being swamped," Dr Charles Claudianos said.
The research, published in the latest edition of PLoS ONE, has also allowed the scientists to explore how the learning of odours affects molecules that have been linked to autism and schizophrenia. During their studies, the researchers found that the honeybee brain responds to sensory experience.
"The honeybee brain -- like the human brain -- adapts to its sensory environment by adjusting the expression of these molecules," Dr Claudianos said.
Dr Reinhard said the findings could also have an enormous impact on Australian farming. Using the honeybee's capacity to extract key odorants, scientists will be able to isolate these odorants from the complex aromas of crops. They can then use the key odorants to train honeybees to pollinate specific crops.
"Farmers often have problems making honeybees focus on the crop -- the bees go astray and go to nearby forests or national parks and the farmers don't get a good yield," Dr Reinhard said.
"If we know the key odorants of the almond aroma, for example, we could use these to train the honeybees in the hive to focus only on pollinating almonds. Then you'd have a much higher likelihood the honeybees would stay in the crop and pollinate it."
Now the focus for the QBI scientists will be whether humans use the same technique of learning specific key odorants so our brain is not overwhelmed by too much sensory information -- early research suggests we do.

City police are looking for a man who allegedly put a knife to a child's throat while attempting to rob a Lake Charles couple.
Deputy Chief Mark Kraus said the incident happened around 5:55 a.m. Thursday near the intersection of Shattuck and Mill streets.
"The investigation revealed that a black male attempted to rob a couple by grabbing their 4-year-old son and holding him at knife point while demanding money," Kraus said Friday in a news release.
The suspect has been described as a dark-skinned black male in his early 20s. He is 5-foot-6 to 5-7 with a thin build, very short fade haircut, a thin mustache and goatee. He was wearing a powder blue hoodie with light blue jeans.
Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact Det. Sgt. Lecia McCullough at 337-491-1311 or Crime Stoppers at 337-439-2222.

Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem reached a settlement in June 2006 with an out-of-state fundraiser that illegally collected about $30,000 in contributions from North Dakota residents.
The settlement named the Association for Disabled Firefighters, Coalition of Police & Sheriffs, and American Veterans Relief Foundation, all of California, and their professional fundraiser, Public Awareness and Duane Kolve, of Wisconsin.
"We received complaints that Public Awareness was telling people that the Associationfor Disabled Firefighters would use the donations for childrens burn centers in North Dakota," said Stenehjem. "We have no such childrens burn centers in North Dakota."
An investigation also revealed Public Awareness used private mail service centers in various North Dakota communities to retrieve charitable contributions, creating the false impression that the fundraiser was a local organization.
These entities played on the knowledge that donors are more likely to give to a local organization, said Stenehjem.
Stenehjem sued the defendants in October 2002, alleging they engaged in false and deceptive acts and the charitable solicitations were illegal because the organizations were not licensed in North Dakota and Public Awareness was not registered as a professional fundraiser.
Under the terms of the settlement, the defendants cannot conduct any charitable solicitations in North Dakota for 18 months and must pay $30,000 in lieu of civil penalties. Stenehjem will distribute $25,000 to North Dakota organizations engaged in fire protection, law enforcement, or public safety activities, and the remainder will coverinvestigation costs and attorneys fees. The defendants will also forfeit the donations it raised illegally, which were recovered from the local mail boxes.

When Ricardo Pitts-Wiley, co-founder and artistic director of Mixed Magic Theatre (mixedmagictheatre.org), taught Moby-Dick to young people at the Rhode Island Training School four years ago, he could not have predicted that this literary classic would lead him to MIT, Poland, New Bedford, and on November 15, the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC.
In 2006, Pitts-Wiley wrote Moby Dick: Then and Now, a theatrical version of Herman Melville's book, which joined the story of Captain Ahab chasing a great white whale to an urban tale of teenagers chasing "that Great White Thing" — cocaine.
Under Pitts-Wiley's direction, Moby Dick: Then and Now was given its first full production at his Pawtucket-based theater in spring 2007, as part of a three-day Moby-Dick symposium. It was reprised last year at the Providence Performing Arts Center, and it was showcased at MIT in August. A special kick-off-to-Washington performance is scheduled for November 7, at the Pawtucket Congregational Church.
What initially got the Moby Dick ball rolling was a connection to the Melville Society Cultural Project in New Bedford, one of whose members was on the faculty of MIT. The Comparative Media Studies Program at MIT, which had just received a MacArthur grant to do New Literacy Projects, contacted Pitts-Wiley to support the development of the Moby Dick project. In turn, Pitts-Wiley has collaborated with them to create a nationwide strategy guide, Reading in a Participatory Culture.
Pitts-Wiley had dreamed of getting 10,000 people — "students, but also doctors, lawyers, regular people" — to read Moby-Dick, and although he doesn't know how many have been inspired to do so, he has heard from many who have seen the show. "We wanted them to not only love the novel," he says "but to have a thirst for a deeper understanding of things, through literature."
Asked why he chose that particular book for the project, Pitts-Wiley has a quick response: "Because everybody was on the Pequod — it had every race represented, with a variety of cultures and economic levels."
Being able (with help from US Representative Patrick J. Kennedy) to take this production to the Kennedy Center is particularly important for Mixed Magic, because, in Pitts-Wiley's view: "Our ability to grow from a 90-seat theatre in Pawtucket had become very limited. We had to think bigger than Rhode Island."
"We had to find a way to tap into the bigger river," he adds. "Sometimes you can get caught into little thinking, and that's where you will always stay, and we didn't want to do that anymore. We wanted to build projects that we owned and could be done in any city in the country, as opposed to waiting for someone to discover us."
Pitts-Wiley is primed for the opportunity in DC: "I want to see how high we can fly. We're going to have a great time, and at the end of the day, we can say we did it."

Viña Albali Revamps its Labels
Felix Solis-owned Spanish wine brand Viña Albali has revamped its wine labels to give the brand a cleaner, fresher image.
"Due to the brands' increasing size and the impending projects we have planned for it, there was a need to refresh the Albali range in order to have a clear brand architecture," Felix Solis' international marketing manager Inmaculada Moreno said.
The new labels for Viña Albali Tempranillo, Verdejo and Rosado Tempranillo 2012 are lighter and brighter than their predecessors, with the color of the foil corresponding to the color of the wine.
The makeover follows a recent revamp to the labels of Viña Albali Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva, the first of which has just been taken on in the UK by Morrisons.
Made from 100 percent Tempranillo, Viña Albali Crianza is aged for six months in American oak and two years in bottle.
Meanwhile, Ireland's largest grocery distributor, Musgrave, has taken on Blume Sauvignon Blanc from DO Rueda made from 100 percent Sauvignon Blanc and sealed under screwcap.
Owned by Felix Solis, Blume is the second best-selling wine brand in DO Rueda.
