Android enterprise market share grows, still below Apple (AAPL) iOS
In for months covering May 2010 to August 2010, Google's Android OS grew its market share within the corporate environment from 10% to 16% – up from just 3% in November of 2009. Impressive stuff. But what about iOS, the operating system that powers Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPads, iPhones and iPods? It's not doing too shabby either! During the same period, iOS … Read More
Android Market Share Threatening Apple (AAPL) iPhone Market Share?
Lets be clear before we examine this one again. We are not really comparing Apples to Oranges here (Sorry for the unintentional pun). Because iOS is installed on many more devices than the iPhone.

text: TUCSON, Ariz., Sept. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Ventana Medical Systems, Inc. (Ventana), a member of the Roche Group, is introducing a first-of-its-kind fully-automated staining technique that will allow researchers to examine miRNAs and proteins related to cancer in the same section of tumor tissue. Detecting miRNAs and proteins together, in the context of the tumor microenvironment, allows researchers to visualize the association of oncogenic protein expression to those miRNAs involved in the regulation of the mRNA species responsible for protein production. This is exciting news for researchers who have been studying how this relationship plays a role in driving tumor cell growth in many tumor types including breast, lung, prostate and colorectal cancers. To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/ventana-medical-systems-inc-develops-first-ever-fully-automated-dual-stain-technique-for-mirna-and-protein-detection-in-cancer-168709096.html Dr. Thomas Grogan, M.D., pioneering pathologist and founder of Ventana Medical Systems, Inc., is highly optimistic about the promise of this technique. "With this exciting technical breakthrough, we can now judge with a standard light microscope the link between miRNA and associated proteins in full cellular context. It will now reveal matters like message/protein dysfunction and heterogeneity. This then will add greatly to our understanding of the mechanisms of cancer biology and help direct new better informed targeted therapies." James W. Welsh, M.D., assistant professor in the Department of Radiology at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, believes this new technology could eventually work as a companion diagnostic tool for future miRNA pathway targeting drugs. "For the first time, using this technique, researchers will be able to observe the relationships between specific miRNAs and their known oncogenic protein targets," says Dr. Welsh. "In lung cancer, we've begun to identify pairs of miRNAs and proteins that we believe play a role in treatment resistance and metastasis; utilizing this new protocol will hopefully allow us to better understand the correlation between the two." In the future, Dr. Welsh adds, miRNAs could be utilized as biomarkers or therapeutics for lung cancer as well as other solid tumors. Watch the video of Dr. Welsh's full comments. Unlike traditional enzymatic retrieval, which is the current industry standard for miRNA in situ hybridization (ISH), the new technique from Ventana uses non-enzymatic pre-treatments, enabling the detection of both targets while preserving tissue morphology. Developed for use on the DISCOVERY ULTRA instrument, the application is fully automated, allowing for greater reproducibility of target detection. The DISCOVERY ULTRA immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization (ISH) systems from Ventana offer full automation, along with unsurpassed freedom and flexibility. For scientists and research professionals who require more than conventional IHC and ISH research methods can offer, the DISCOVERY ULTRA system provides exceptional, reproducible results to help scientific inventions become medical innovations.

So we've lost our two playoff teams in the same week. How are we going to recover? I guess for most of us, the Bruins Game 7 against the 'Canes will be the last hockey game we will see until next April, just enough time to rebuild our faith in them. It was a painful loss, especially since we all had high hopes for the Bruins after their great regular season this year. And for the Celtics? Well any success without Garnett was a bonus. At least we got to see Joakim Noah lose, Rafer Alston kiss a man, and Dwight Howard whine like a little girl.
But by the end of the week, we were left with only the Red Sox playing and a glimmer of light into the Patriots season. The days of the Boston triple-headers had come and gone. The villains had done their damage, the tears were shed, the playoff match-ups had ended, and we were left with a board of losses:
Sadness indeed. Now here's what we can come to expect more of this summer:
Okay, so now that I have my excuse for making this post. Without further ado, let's enjoy the summer to come:

Hey Neighbour! Sterling Lorence
We originally ran this video and article back in May, just as the summer riding season was picking up. As fall is upon us and we have started filming for Hey Neighbour again, we decided to start with the one that should have been posted when it was dark and wet outside. So, here it is: Sterling's One Roll Thunder Storm. Hope you enjoy it the second time around.
Hey Neighbour: Sterling Lorence's One Roll Thunder Storm
Words by Seb Kemp. Photos and Captions by Sterling Lorence.
Sterling Lorence or the North Shore – which came first? The trails and riding were products of the environment, as was Sterling. But without someone unique on hand to document the essence of what was happening in these mountains, perhaps a different image of the Shore would have emerged.
Sterling Lorence grew up on the North Shore. He lived here, he was schooled here, he played here, and when mountain bikes came into his life, he rode here. Sterling was a good rider with race results and a list of conquered trails to prove it. However, it was his ability to to capture the fundamental spirit of the North Shore that set him apart.
We tracked Sterling down one snowy February morning. We wanted to understand more about how the North Shore went from underground movement to world famous circus, and what role Sterling played in the process. The morning turned into most of the day as we trundled around Cypress while Sterling passionately illuminated us on so many topics about the Shore. The knowledge, history and commentary that Sterling imparted on us that day could fill a book.
The course we walked that day wasn't just symbolic for being a quintessential North Shore line, but rather retracing a pivotal day in Sterling's career and life. A 36 exposure roll of 400 ASA Kodak Tri-X black and white film (pushed to 1600) shot on Pre-Reaper and Reaper gave Sterling his first keepers; images that served up his spectral vision of riding the Shore and the launch pad to becoming a professional photographer. Then on the next roll, taken a few days later, Sterl captured the Reaper log ride shot of Eric Vandrimmelen that became the Bike Magazine Photo Annual cover, as a gatefold spread. For a photographer this is like winning the Olympics and the lottery at the same time.
During this Pre-Reaper/Reaper photo shoot with my friend Eric VanDrimmelen, we knew we were on location in the most incredible light and we couldn't wait to get the film back from the lab. We were floored in stoke with how the log ride was portrayed by this silouette mood. I couldn't wait to ship the prints to photo editor Dave Reddick at Bike magazine. The results just a few months later is the holy grail for any photographic artist in mountain biking… Bike Magazine Photo Annual Cover. I consider it the best gift back to my riding buddies that helped me evolve as a shooter.
He had been shooting for a little while already, so this one roll wasn't just beginner's luck, but still, it is an extraordinary achievement. Sterl's lifelong friends Eric Vandrimmelen and Scott Grieve shared the same passion for riding and helped him experiment in those early days; "They are the two riders that gave me lots of chances to evolve my photography with them as subjects and they were the two on that first roll of B&W that I was trying to shoot 'keepers' on. I had explored with some test rolls prior to this to discover which stocks handles the Shore darkness best, and then this was the first roll that I was targeting specific moves and places on the Pre-Reaper and Reaper trails."
With the North Shore suddenly in vogue (not just because of Sterl's shots) everyone wanted a part of what the North Shore was putting down. The black and white images of riders doing unthinkable maneuvers in a backdrop of shrouded mystery amongst the pillars of a great forest were unlike anything anyone had ever seen. They were alien and evocative.
It was Joel Smith, then working at Answer Manitou, that gave Sterling his first paid commission job in 1998. Manitou was releasing the Millennium fork and they wanted an advert with the fork being ridden on the Shore. The images coming from Vancouver's mountainous backdrop were mesmerizing to an audience used to seeing blue skies and dusty trails. More so, what was happening on the Shore was manufacturing a whole new market.
People thirsted for the style and look of the Shore. Even beyond mountain biking circles, big companies like Oakley want billboard images from these trails that might appear on a highway in Southern California. People continue to be spellbound by the drama of North Shore riding.
What made the North Shore famous wasn't the names of the riders, or even the riding, but rather the trails. These daunting lines through the forest forced our sport to evolve. Trail builders letting their imagination run wild in the wet, gnarled, steep, and cluttered mountainsides meant riding here was no walk in the park.
Sterling remembers clearly what Pre-Reap and Reaper meant to him as a rider before he picked up a camera, "I was, on numerous occasions, left mentally exhausted by one of Dangerous Dan's trails. I remember being relieved and stoked when I finished Pre-Reaper, so much so that some days I would do just that one trail and be done for the day. I wouldn't need to keep riding so I'd peel out and ride down the road. It was so technically challenging that it required so much concentration and was just so scary."
Sterling believes what was happening back then in the North Shore movement was akin to a Dog Town style and creativity which was fueled by "fun, danger, and not the media because there was no precedence. We weren't influenced by anything but nature and the possibilities we imagined."
Ladies and gentlemen, Sterling Lorence's one roll thunder storm.
Have Sterling's images influenced the way you see the trails and the forest?

Israeli anti-war Oscar bid draws Arabs despite ban
By Joseph Nasr
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - You can't see "Waltz with Bashir" legally in Lebanon but you can buy copies of the Oscar-nominated Israeli anti-war film in Beirut's Hamra district where director Ari Folman saw his life change 26 years ago.
"It's one of the greatest films I've ever seen," said Lokman Slim, an activist with Lebanon's UMAM organization which aims to preserve the country's memories of war by screening movies related to its decades of bloodshed.
"I feel jealous that those we should consider our enemies have the courage to revisit events in which they were involved, while we Lebanese are in an endless silence regarding our history," Lokman told Reuters in Beirut.
"Waltz with Bashir" -- the title conveys Israel's alliance with Lebanon's Christian leader at the time, Bashir Gemayel -- mixes documentary and animation to depict the trauma of an Israeli invasion 26 years ago to expel Palestinian guerrillas.
The film ends with the massacre of hundreds of Palestinians by Israel's Lebanese Christian allies in the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps of Beirut.
Against a narrative based on buried recollections of former brothers-in-arms, Folman shows war in the nightmarish colors of a comic book -- until the final moments when it shockingly culminates with actual footage of piles of dead bodies.
Some 600 Palestinian women, children and old people in Sabra and Shatila were slaughtered under the light of flares fired over Beirut by Folman's army unit, ordered to help the Christian Phalangist militia secure the camps.
Folman was a 19-year-old conscript at the time. His movie has won a Golden Globe for best foreign language film of 2008 and was nominated last month for an Oscar for 'best foreign film' Continued...

A London MP has called for mandatory medical checks on schoolgirls to end Britain's "shameful" failure to secure prosecutions for female genital mutilation.
Diane Abbott said the country needed to face up to the need for "routine medical examinations" as she warned that thousands of girls in the capital remained at risk of mutilation.
She said the approach had been successful in France, where 100 convictions for FGM have been secured since the start of the Eighties, and it was time for similar action to be taken in Britain.
Her comments came during a parliamentary debate on FGM, during which a succession of other MPs echoed her call for compulsory medical checks and expressed concern about the failure to achieve a single prosecution for the crime in this country.
Met detectives have sent files on 11 cases of alleged mutilation to the Crown Prosecution Service, including one involving a victim less than two months old, but no charges have been brought so far.
Ms Abbott, the Labour MP for Hackney North and Stoke Newington, told the debate in Westminster Hall that this country had been "too tolerant" in the past. "I believe that — this is quite controversial — we need routine medical examinations," she told MPs.
"On this question the French have performed rather better than we have in the UK. In the past 34 years there have been 29 trials, in which 100 people — both parents and cutters — have been convicted.
Ms Abbott added: "It is a disgrace and a shame that in 2014 we cannot protect those young girls in London and other big cities. We do not need simply consciousness-raising and educational information. We have to face up to the need for prosecution and for routine medical examination.
"FGM is a practice to which some of the British authorities have turned a blind eye for too long. It is long overdue that we, as a political class, take serious action on FGM."
Keith Vaz, the chairman of the Commons Home Affairs Committee, who called the debate, agreed that compulsory medical inspections should be considered and it was "one of the most significant factors" behind the high number of prosecutions in France.
He said a new investigation by his committee, which was starting today, would also examine the need for measures such as the mandatory reporting of FGM by education and health staff.

Home > The Monk Covers
A great book for October is Matthew Lewis ' The Monk . It's attributed with being the first Gothic novel, and it's a classic in its own right. It has the best ending of any book I've yet read.
It was written in 1796, before the author was twenty and over the course of ten weeks. It's about a man who was found on the steps of a monastery and is thought to be the most virtuous person–completely virtuous in every way–and the story is about his downfall. No one has ever fallen so far. This one is fantastic for fans of Titus Andronicus because there's rape, incest, murder, sacrifice. Unlike Titus Andronicus, there's no cannibalism (bummer, I know), but there is a Faustian deal that ends… If you want the ultimate plot spoiler, check the Wikipedia article . I'm just going to say that I have a very dark, cynical sense of humour and the end made me laugh and clap my hands with glee.
Now, this is the cover of the copy I read:
However, when I was looking for that cover, I discovered that several other covers were wonderful. And some…not so much.
This is the image used on the updated Penguin Classics version:
This is the cover of the Broadview Press Edition:
It's all right. Gloomy and stark, which works.
This one is Vintage Classics:
I'm not usually a huge fan of a lot of red on book covers, but this one is evocative.
Then, the Most Boring Cover for a Rip-Roaring Book goes to…
Oxford World Classics, I would have expected more of you.
I'm going to finish this post with the covers most likely to turn on the people who'd love it most, but turn off the literary types (who would also love it).
The monk on this cover would appear to be a woman…possibly wearing nothing beneath her robe, which is not a super accurate representation of the book…
I don't remember the character in this next one… Though it could possibly show up in the last few pages. I hope no one's reading this for the red-eyed scary thing…
This one… I don't even know… They took a great font and title piece and put… things on it.
And for the vintage, available at the grocery store feel:

Novelist Philip Pullman, 63, is best known for his award-winning children's trilogy, His Dark Materials. His latest book is The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ.
New Labour and Tony Blair are one and the same thing. Does anyone imagine the phenomenon would have happened without him? In thinking about what New Labour means, I keep coming back to the man who created it, and who left it such a deflated hollow.
Tony Blair has a phosphorescent quality. He is a will-o'-the-wisp, an emanation of rotting marsh gas that flares and glimmers in the dark, leading stray travellers into deeper and deeper mires. His power is almost supernatural. He managed to lead an entire party into supporting policies that were utterly alien to its nature; he took a movement that had once been proud to feel itself socialist, and made it into a fervent supporter of low taxes, private finance initiatives, and people getting filthy rich. He encouraged Jack Straw, in opposition before 1997, to deplore the business of locking people up for profit, and then cast a spell on the same Jack Straw, now transmogrified into home secretary, so as to make him set about building more private prisons than the defunct Tory government could have dreamed of.
I think there are only two explanations for this weird power of Blair's. One is that he is not actually human, but a sort of spirit, a boggart or a hobgoblin of some kind, specifically the sort described by Robert Burton in The Anatomy of Melancholy (1621) as "Fiery spirits or devils … such as commonly work by blazing stars, fire-drakes, or ignes fatui; which lead men into rivers or over precipices."
That would account for the otherwise inexplicable power he had over the Labour party. We were seduced by an imp, or a spirit made of congealed air, as described in Robert Kirk's The Secret Commonwealth of Elves, Fauns, and Fairies of 1691. They seem human, these apparitions, but really they belong to a sort of in-between realm neither fully human nor completely diabolic. They go about the world, outwardly human, but in fact up to their own rascally business.
I once saw Blair's weird power at close quarters. There was a reception at 10 Downing Street for people involved in children's books, which had had a bit of a boom that coincided with New Labour's time in office. I suppose there were about 80 people there. I was introduced to the prime minister, and we had a stilted conversation for about a minute and a half, during which I thought how odd it was that this man, reputedly so skilled a political operator, should be so awkward and uncertain when talking to just one person.
Shortly afterwards he had to leave for some reason, but before he left he took the chance to stand on a chair or something similar – something informal, anyway – and talk to the whole room.
And as he stood up he suddenly seemed to come into focus. Everything about him was clear and vivid and immediate and attractive. Even his cheeky-boy grin, which had always seemed a little shifty when I saw it on television, and was strained and implausible at close quarters, was flawless and convincing when I saw it across a room. He spoke for about five minutes, without notes, and he said exactly the right things in exactly the right way, self-deprecating and witty and knowledgable, and managed to make everyone feel they were important without feeling that they'd been crawled to. It was a masterful performance, clearly supernatural in origin. It was as if until he was the centre of attention he didn't fully exist. I'm not sure that before he spoke he wasn't actually transparent.
I remain open on the hobgoblin or will-o'-the-wisp theory. Rotting vegetation, marsh gas, elusive glimmering lights that promise a safe passage and then suddenly disappear – it all sounds familiar.
The other explanation of what he was up to has nothing of the supernatural about it. I owe it to that excellent little book On Bullshit, by the philosopher Harry G Frankfurt.
According to Professor Frankfurt, the bullshitter is not a liar. The charge that Blair lied to parliament never seemed right to me, but I never understood why until I read this explanation of the difference between lying and bullshitting:
"It is impossible for someone to lie unless he thinks he knows the truth. Producing bullshit requires no such conviction. A person who lies is thereby responding to the truth, and he is to that extent respectful of it. When an honest man speaks, he says only what he believes to be true; and for the liar, it is correspondingly indispensable that he considers his statements false. For the bullshitter, however, all these bets are off: he is neither on the side of the true nor on the side of the false. His eye is not on the facts at all, as the eyes of the honest man and of the liar are, except insofar as they may be pertinent to his interest in getting away with what he says. He does not care whether the things he says describe reality correctly. He just picks them out, or makes them up, to suit his purpose."
Before I leave Professor Frankfurt's great work I must also mention another aspect of the Blair phenomenon, the "I only know what I believe" attitude in the prime minister's words to the Labour party conference in 2004. Referring to the contemporary proliferation of bullshit, Frankfurt describes the increasing lack of confidence in the possibility of any knowledge of objective reality: "One response to this loss of confidence has been a retreat from the discipline required by dedication to the ideal of correctness to a quite different sort of discipline, which is imposed by pursuit of an alternative ideal of sincerity."
That's the man in a nutshell. Any doubters need only seek the YouTube clip of Blair reading the lesson at Princess Diana's funeral. He's being so sincere that he actually acts it, as if he's thinking of the words himself and trying them out for the first time. The whole performance is excruciating, but you can't take your eyes off it.
Whether emitting phosphorescence or bullshit Blair was a first-class act, which for 10 years or so held the Labour party in thrall. I look forward eagerly to his future mischief. Hobgoblins live for 700 years or so, according to Robert Burton.

Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
i always have split the rent into two payments and always paid an late fee of 25.00 per month.this month landlord gave a pay rent or quit with an additional 25.00 late fee included after the fifthteenth.(of which i never agreed upon) is that proper notice of increase,and do i have to pay additional 25.00?
Yes. In California, a landlord can charge a late fee to a tenant who doesn't pay rent on time, but the landlord can do so if the lease or rental agreement contains a late fee provision. (In some communities, late fees are limited by local rent control ordinances.)
The law requires that late fees be reasonably related to the costs that your landlord faces as a result of your rent payment being late. A properly set late fee is legally valid. However, a late fee that is so high that it amounts to a penalty is not legally valid.
In your case, you have most likely violated your lease or rental agreement by not paying the full amount of rent on the first of every month. As such, the landlord can not only charge you the late fees but also serve you with a 3-day notice to pay rent or quit. The law allows your landlord to take the partial payment and still give you an eviction notice.

Broken seat
I have a 2006 330i and the passenger seat has stopped moving. When the switch is pressed the seat will move on one side but not the other. I am assuming this the BMW "seat twist" that there are many posts of. The seat is all the way back so I can not get to the back bolts. I was hoping just to do this and then tilt the seat to work on it. The problem seems to be the cable that runs into the motor has been sheared off on the console side. I was hoping to manually turn this to move the seat forward. Some have claimed it can be done with fingers and some have used a drill. My fingers do not turn it at all, I had vice grips on it and it spun but I do not think the seat moved. Not sure how a drill would get to it. I have included a picture showing the cable, if anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hamas crushed the strongest challenge to its rule of Gaza since it assumed control two years ago. It targeted Jund Ansar Allah–the Soldiers of the Companions of God, one of several small radical groups that make Hamas come across as mild mannered. In the fighting at least 24 were killed including a prominent Hamas leader as well as the head of the radical militants. Radicals have endeavored to increase violence not only toward Israel but the western world.
On Friday, Hamas security forces surrounded a mosque in which 100 members of Jund Ansar Allah were gathered. Their leader, Abdel-Latif Moussa had declared Hamas an Islamic emirate state which would be ruled by Sharia law. Reports indicate Moussa killed a mediator sent to persuade him to surrender and then committed suicide. Fighting continues around the mosque as Hamas seeks to completely destroy the group.
The good news of the crackdown is an indication that Hamas wants to avoid radicalism and ensure no more rockets are fired into Israel. Perhaps, if Israel reached out to congratulate Hamas on crushing radical Muslim groups it would be a first step in the initiation of dialogue.

A humbling 5-7 season has led to a different approach for Texas.
In recent years, the Longhorns have used their junior day weekends in February to secure most of their future recruiting class. This past weekend, however, only four players committed, led by linebacker Alex De La Torre.
The additions brings their current haul to five with the previous pledge by quarterback Connor Brewer of Chaparral (Scottsdale, Ariz.).
There are multiple reasons for the change. Texas has overhauled its coaching staff and there hasn't been time for many to develop relationships with the players.
Because of last season's struggles, there is concern that offering early scholarships may work against the Longhorns with less time to evaluate talent.
And while Texas is the big name in the state, the direction of the program is being questioned while Texas A&M and Oklahoma State have been improving in recent years.
"The landscape's a little different this year," recruiting analyst Gerry Hamilton of 247Sports told the Austin American-Statesman. "In the past, everything was positive for Texas and they were riding a huge wave of momentum.
"This is the first time they haven't ridden the wave of momentum. They'll have to build the momentum."
That doesn't mean the Longhorns won't have plenty of commitments in place before the summer.
"Later for Texas means March or April," Hamilton said.

Wonder Years: Reading with Evelina Galang, Marina Budhos & Neesha Meminger

Who's Going
San Francisco, California

Event Details
Being young can be difficult terrain. Awkward human growing pains sometimes coincide with migration and racial difference and family drama.
Fortunately, travelers and writers have left maps (in the form of Young Adult literature) at the formative threshold between childhood and grown-upness to help along the path. This becomes even more vital when Asian American stories are often left out of formal curricula, leaving young readers to construct their racial and social identities on their own.
Writers and readers of YA lit are invited to join Evelina Galang (author of Angel de la Luna and the 5th Glorious Mystery), Marina Budhos (author of Tell Us We're Home), and Neesha Meminger (author of Shine, Coconut Moon) for a reading and conversation about the role of Young Adult writing in our communities.
Erica Chutuape will moderate the conversation.

Now We're Cooking with Gerard Manley Hopkins
Is this a food blog? Or are we hungry? So many questions. But to the point. In a post over at Best American Poetry, we are treated to a Gerard Manley Hopkins poem, "Pied Beauty," which is dappled with all sorts of lovely spring words and so inspired former chef and current writer Karen Resta that she created a very particular recipe based on said diction. The ingredients include "Well-marbled steak (brindled cow), Waterchestnuts (chestnut falls), Golden chanterelle mushrooms (finches' wings), Pear (whatever is freckled), Chili-Tamarind Sauce (sweet, sour), and Steamed White Rice (whose beauty is past change)." And the directions are a poem in themselves.
The poem is of course worth re-posting!
Pied Beauty
Glory be to God for dappled things –
For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;
For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;
Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches' wings;
Landscape plotted and pieced – fold, fallow, and plough;
And áll trádes, their gear and tackle and trim.
All things counter, original, spare, strange;
Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)
With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;
He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change:
Praise him.
— Gerard Manley Hopkins

The Atlanta Braves bolstered their bullpen Thursday by calling up left-hander Alex Wood from Double-A Mississippi. To make room for Wood, the Braves designated Juan Francisco for assignment, Dave O'Brien tweets.
3B Juan Francisco designated for assignment by #Braves to open roster spot for Alex Wood.— David O'Brien (@ajcbraves) May 30, 2013
Francisco hit .241 with five homers and 16 RBIs in 115 at-bats. He also struck out 43 times and hit .157 over his final 19 games. That means Chris Johnson, who hadn't been favored over Francisco in the starting lineup recently, has finally won the starting third base job. Johnson is currently hitting .346 and a Major League-leading .420 against lefties.
The 22-year-old Wood tops out at 95 miles per hour with his fastball and was 4-2 with a 1.26 ERA in 10 starts with Mississippi this season. Having just been drafted last season, he also put up a 4-3 record and 2.22 ERA in Single-A Rome last year.
Wood figures to be an integral part of the bullpen; he allowed one run in seven Major League Spring Training games this year and struck out 57 batters in 57 innings at Mississippi.Tags: Alex Wood, Atlanta, Atlanta Braves, Baseball, Chris Johnson, Juan Francisco, MLB

Last time West Bromwich Albion started a top-flight season by winning their first four home League games, it was 1919 and they ended as champions. It won't happen this time, but fourth spot in the table ensures The Hawthorns remains a happy place. A darn sight happier that is, than Shepherd's Bush.
Two early goals and a gem of a third made life ever more uncomfortable for Mark Hughes, whose Queens Park Rangers side were flattered by a stoppage-time rally in which they scored once and squandered a clear chance.
With Harry Redknapp on the market, Rangers' desperate run means the manager's position is an on-going talking point and the social networks were alive with debate last night.
Hughes avoided giving direct answers to questions about his future in his post-match media conference, arguing that the glut of summer signings and subsequent injuries always made a slow start possible. But, pressed as to whether he was still the right man for the job, he said: "Yes, absolutely."
Rangers were second best for substantial spells and traditionally fare poorly against Albion, who now boast the talent to hurt any opponents who allow them such room.
"Defensively, it wasn't a performance you would associate with us but there was some fantastic football going forward and we created good chances," said Albion's manager Steve Clarke. "Rangers' second goal just made it a bit nervous."
Having previously scored only one goal in the first half of a League game this season, Albion came by two here in the opening quarter thanks to the sort of smooth football for which they are becoming renowned.
Both followed right-wing crosses, the first delivered brilliantly by Shane Long after a dash past Clint Hill. James Morrison's advance into the area and expertly-placed header did the rest.
After roles had been reversed when a stretching Long couldn't direct the Scot's centre on target, the lead was doubled amid more dubious defending. Morrison was the supplier again and Anton Ferdinand's attempt to clear turned into a set-up from which Zoltan Gera rifled home hard and low.
The goal underlined the acres conceded to Albion deep in Rangers territory – a point further emphasised when Gera stole in behind Jose Bosingwa and Ji Sung Park on to Peter Odemwingie's excellent diagonal ball. Only Cesar's fingertips kept Albion's lead manageable.
Hughes had made two more changes to his porous defence with the return of Bosingwa and Ferdinand after injury. Hill was then withdrawn at half-time, but Rangers' afternoon was depressingly similar to many others in a win-less away sequence stretching back to last November.
They did at least gain a foothold courtesy of Adel Taarabt's latest spectacular finish. The Moroccan, who doesn't do ordinary goals, used the very top of his chest to bring down Esteban Granero's floated through ball before crashing a first-time right-volley inside Ben Foster's near post.
Rangers were immediately transformed. Unfortunately for them, the sum total of their further threat on goal during the 90 minutes was when Taarabt forced Foster to save low just after the interval and when the impressive Granero miscued high and wide.
The move that brought Albion's killer goal five minutes from time was pure precision, starting on one wing and switching to the other with devastating effect. Morrison's one-two with Gonzalo Jara Reyes was the key component, the substitute's pull-back being sidefooted home by Youssouf Mulumbu.
At the end of a week in which acting captain Jonas Olsson signed a new contract, Albion's defence wobbled in the dying moments. First, Claudio Yacob was turned when Granero curled in a beauty from 20 yards, then Ferdinand scooped over from close in following the Spaniard's corner. But justice was served by the outcome.
West Bromwich (formation 4-2-3-1): Foster; Tamas (Jara, h-t), McAuley, Olsson, Popov; Mulumbu, Yacob; Odemwingie (Rosenberg, 64), Morrison, Gera; Long (Lukaku, 64).
QPR (4-2-3-1): Cesar; Bosingwa, Ferdinand, Nelsen, Hill (Traoré, h-t); Granero, Mbia (Hoilett, 70); Wright-Phillips (Mackie, 59), Park, Taarabt; Zamora.

'Monsters University' has already divided critics, whilst enchanting audiences, across America, and now it's finally set to arrive on our fair little island.
The Pixar prequel managed to gross $82.4 million in its opening weekend in the States, the second largest amount ever for a Pixar film, whilst it has since gone on to amass over $400 million at the world wide box office, proving that Sulley and Mike still resonate with audiences over a decade since their first adventure.
So with English moviegoers counting down the hours and minutes until Pixar's prequel is finally in their local multiplexes, here are five fun facts about the movies that will whet your appetite even further.
Little Mikey
In the original 'Monsters, Inc.' Mike Wazowski owns a stuffed animal that he delicately names Little Mikey and is very protective of.
So much so that when Boo touches him in the original instalment he shouts at her, "Hey, that's it! No one touches little Mikey!" However, as Mike warms to her, he gives her his doll.
In 'Monsters University' we get to see that Little Mikey has been a firm fixture of Mike's life, and he was even in his arms as a college student.
Monster Pizza Toppings
As you would expect from Pixar, Monsters University is full of daft, silly and hilarious Easter eggs that you have to have an eagle eye to spot.
The trailer gave us a sneaky peak at their jokes, with an empty pizza box lying next to a sleeping Mike showing a plethora of available pizza toppings, which included flem sauce, gizzards, extra sneeze, pickled snake eyes, bunions, and cartilage. Delightful.
Originally 'Monsters University' was to focus on Sulley
When the 'Monsters University' creative team assembled to discuss who their prequel would focus on, the filmmakers originally planned to centre the adventure on both Mike and Sulley.
However, as director Dan Scanlon admits, they quickly realised that if they made "it both of their stories, it's nobody's story." They then decided to focus the movie on just one character, and at first it looked as though Sulley would lead the film.
Producer Kori Rae and Scanlon both explained, "You know him a little bit more. You know how his life ends up: he's this incredibly famous scarer. But every time we did that Mike's story rose to the top. It was always the more interesting story."
Rae then added, "There was more to discover. When we were trying to think about 'Okay, what would be the craziest thing? If we're trying to make this not predictable, what was Mike? Who did he want to be?' That would be a scarer. And if you look at the second movie, you know that didn't happen."
Bill Murray was almost Sulley
John Goodman was born to voice Sulley, however he wasn't Pixar producers first choice to play the hairy behemoth.
Original director, Peter Docter, tested Bill Murray in the role and even offered him the part, leaving him messages on his answering machine. However, the comedian never returned their calls so they presumed he wasn't interested, thus the door was left open for Goodman to inherit the role.
Scott "Squishy" Squibbles is based on a Japanese candy
The design of one of Mike and Sulley's Oozma Kappa fellow fraternity members, a delightfully pathetic Scott "Squishy" Squibbles, was actually inspired by the Japanese desert treat, mochi, which is a glutinous rice cake. He looks delicious.

Artist Rex Ray: Native Son
By Noel Black On November 12, 2012 · 7 Comments · In A Big Something, Art!, Arts & Culture, Design, Local Genius!
Here's another hand-to-the-forehead discovery about a native of Colorado Springs who went on to become an amazing artist: Rex Ray (neé Michael Patterson) was born in 1956 and grew up in Colorado Springs. Like so many before and since, he left in his teens and moved straight to San Francisco, spent his 20s and 30s doing graphic design for record labels, for which he became quite famous (Bowie, The Rolling Stones, etc.). Then one day he realized he decided he wanted to do whatever he wanted to do and began to make design-y collages from magazines. And so began his second career doing giant painting/collage/designs that charm the eye even as they persistently defy a defined medium.
Here are a couple of videos about Ray, the second of which is from a documentary titled "How to Make a Rex Ray," which you can purchase HERE.

Note to the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center: Please get a Rex Ray show! Thanks.

kay johnson says:
Got a book on his years ago and was surprised to see he went to UCCS. Lots of talent that CS does not shout about for some reason- Rex Ray, Louis Cicotello, Senga Nengudi, Margaret Kilgallen, Gus Lee, Frank Waters, Floyd Tunson, Dave Mason, even Tesla. Lots to shout about! Would be wonderful to be known as the town these extremely creative
folks live/have lived in instead of the home of political/religious fanatic types.

Found what appears to be a deal at a pawnshop; a 'Sub Compact' Llama for ~$350. Looks like a 1911, double stack with what I think is a 7rnd capacity in .45ACP. Used, of course.
Is this as good a deal as it sounds? I'm not familiar with the brand, but it looks like a great CC piece for my wife. Any input would be really appreciated.

Richard E. Kozak's resume reads like that of a battle-hardened war veteran, not a multiple award-winning news photographer.
His photographic endeavors have taken him around the world, but when he decided to slow down two years ago, Kozak, 58, decided to settle in Dixonville.
"(My wife Elaine and I) have family ties to this area," he said, "so we thought this would be a nice place to come back and contribute to the community."
Originally from upstate New York, Kozak first found work at the Morning Journal in Lorain, Ohio, after college graduation. It wasn't long before his work began to garner notice. With photographs ranging in subject from news to sports, features and so on, he began racking up "a lot of awards."
"I think one year I won 12 awards from the Ohio News Photographers Association," he said.
All this attention caught the eye of the Washington Times in Washington, D.C. At the time, Kozak figured he had outgrown the paper in Ohio and was ready to move on to a larger venue. Covering news in the center of United States government provided him with a great deal of exposure to the news and politics of that area.
More awards followed. When he won first place in a White House News Photographers Association contest, Kozak was personally recognized by President Ronald Regan in the Oval Office. He would go on to meet many other presidents, including Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.
Following his work at the Times, Kozak freelanced for a short period before landing a gig at the now-defunct Insight magazine. His work started to take on a national perspective when he photographed a range of stories such as the Guardian Angels group in New York City, drug smuggling in Miami and portraits of political leaders in his familiar stomping grounds of Washington, D.C.
Each photograph came with its own unique story. Some were shot on the fly while some had a little more time and staging behind it.
When Kozak covered the mid-1990s government shutdown, discretion was key, he said.
"I happened to be invited to photograph a meeting that Speaker (Newt) Gingrich and his staff of congressmen as they discussed shutting down the government," he said. "The way I was able to photograph that meeting was to keep silent of what I had heard."
For a photograph Kozak did of then-U.S. Rep. Phil Crane, Kozak explained he wanted to get a shot of Crane away from his office, which had become a common and tired setting. Kozak suggested he come out to Crane's house and take a few shots there, while Crane suggested he bring his grandchildren along. Trying to take a shot of the family on the sofa "just wasn't working," when Kozak spotted a trampoline in the back yard. He suggested having Crane in the foreground while the children jumped in the background, and that's the photo Insight decided to run.
After Insight folded, he found work with the Army Times, a job that had him deploying as much as an active duty soldier.
"The first year I worked with Army Times," he said, "I spent 245 days out of the country.
"It was quite an experience. To see the living conditions that the soldiers had to go through and see the hazardous situations of warfare and to experience that. There's no way to unleash this except that I used photography and read a lot of books."
Kozak also experienced his share of hazardous situations, even suffering injuries while on assignment.
He described a scene at the Syrian border while with the Marines. They had arrived under the cover of darkness and were waiting for an additional unit to show up. He and a gunnery sergeant had stepped from behind their cover when shots rang out. Both Kozak and the gunnery sergeant were hit in what turned into a "10- or 15-minute firefight."
Kozak was flown out for surgery. Once the morphine cleared, "about 30 to 35 hours later, I was back on the front lines with the Marines," he said.
His next tour was with the Army. While working outside of Bagdad one day, he declined to go on a second mission after having completed an early morning mission. Shortly after the soldiers left, "all hell broke loose at the building I was at.
"The Bradley (fighting vehicle) I was supposed to be in got hit with by an IED the size of a Volkswagen," he said. "Flipped the 80-ton vehicle over, all six people inside burned to death. Those were the situations you keep for the rest of your life. What if, what if. What if I did, what if I didn't?"
After leaving the Army Times, Kozak decided it was time to settle down somewhere he could give back. He wanted to go somewhere he could share his "wealth of knowledge."
"Any knowledge you can obtain is wonderful," he said.
He has been working with Indiana University of Pennsylvania, trying to get featured speakers for the university. He also showcases his work at the Artists Hand along Philadelphia Street. His wife is an advertising consultant with The Indiana Gazette.
"I've been fortunate to be all over the world. It's been a very good journey," he said.

Denver Community Credit Union is a not-for-profit financial cooperative whose mission is to make a difference in members' lives by providing financial opportunity. To that end, Denver Community established a financial education program in 2005 which is now known as the Clear Money Program.
Since its inception 10 years ago, Denver Community has helped over 15,400 people in the Denver area improve their financial health through 1,689 educational events (as of May 2015).
The Clear Money Program has worked with hundreds of local organizations to offer free classes for their clients and staff, primarily focusing on non-profits and local businesses reaching the under-served, including Mile High United Way, Warren Village, Mi Casa Resource Center, Denver Health, Women's Bean Project, the City and County of Denver, and Veterans Green Jobs.
In 2014 alone, the Clear Money Program educated over 2,200 Coloradans: 1,450 through free financial education classes, 65 through financial coaching, and the remainder through free online podcasts.
In addition to its free financial education programming, Denver Community has locally donated over $169,850 since 2005 with no tax or government incentive to do so. Some beneficiaries include Denver Public Library, Rocky Mountain MicroFinance Institute (RMMFI), Mi Casa Resource Center, Emily Griffith Technical College, Mount Saint Vincent, Newborns in Need, and Homes for Our Troops.

I've always fantasized about having my own boutique (can you imagine the endless wardrobe possibilities)? So I was super-psyched when I finally got the chance to talk to Alice Kim--an ex-magazine editor who, after 15 years in the big city, decided to move to Omaha, Nebraska. By choice. And is loving it there, no-regrets style. And opened up a genius little store chock-full of designer purses, shoes, hard-to-find beauty brands and perfumes and even stuff for the house. Alice doesn't carry clothes in her shop because A) Her background was as an accessories director, and B) In her opinion: "Style is all about accessorizing the basics". She says that she basically sells what she loves--it's that simple.
Got me thinking: If I had a boutique of my favorite things, what would make the cut? Here's a (short) list off the top of my head today (I'm sure tomorrow's list would be a bit different).
You? What would be in your store?

Before the 2012 season, I thought a bit too much of Rashad Jennings and a bit too little of Tim Dobbins.
The former was the Jacksonville Jaguars running back who took over as the starter while Maurice Jones-Drew held out through the preseason and was first in line after MJD got hurt. Jennings wasn't as effective in his chances as I expected, and wound up dealing with injuries himself. His next NFL act will unfold in Oakland, where he he will provide some depth at running back.
Dobbins, meanwhile, wound up with an increased role for the Houston Texans after Brian Cushing was lost to a torn anterior cruciate ligament. I came to think he can be a pretty effective inside linebacker in the 3-4. But to earn and keep playing time, Dobbins simply must get past the sort of nagging injuries that sidelined him when he got his chance last season. Ultimately an ankle injury kept him out of the playoffs in a season where the team suffered too many injuries beyond Cushing at the position.
Jacksonville added Justin Forsett to take over Jennings' role.
The Texans are likely to draft an inside linebacker who can compete with Darryl Sharpton and Dobbins for the second starting role. If that pick is skilled enough, he might even be able to keep the team in base and nickel personnel more often.

TRS 3 retirement plan
At UW, the Teachers' Retirement System (TRS) 3 retirement plan is generally available only to teaching faculty. For other employees, the equivalent is the PERS 3 retirement plan.
TRS 3 is a two-part, hybrid retirement plan that combines a traditional pension plan, where your receive a defined benefit at retirement, with investment options that work like a typical retirement plan, such as a 401(k).
Both parts of the TRS 3 retirement plan play a significant role in your income at retirement.
With the defined benefit part of the plan, you're guaranteed a monthly benefit for the rest of your life once you meet the plan requirements and retire.
With the defined contribution part of the plan, you invest part of each paycheck into a retirement fund. When you retire, the amount you earn depends on the performance of your investments.
Enroll in TRS 3
New faculty (or faculty who are newly eligible for benefits) have 30 days from their start date to choose their retirement plan by electing either TRS 3 or the UW Retirement Plan (UWRP). Once you elect a plan you cannot change it.
To enroll in the TRS 3 retirement plan:
- Fill out the Retirement - PERS / TRS / LEOFF Enrollment (PDF) form
- Submit the completed form to the Benefits office
Part 1: Your defined benefit
At retirement, your defined benefit makes up part of the income you receive from TRS 3. This income is guaranteed for the rest of your life. The formula for calculating your monthly retirement benefit is:
1% x service credit years x average final compensation
While this income is guaranteed, you're not eligible to receive it until you've worked long enough to become vested.
When you become vested
Your defined benefit funds are fully vested once any of the following apply:
- You have 10 years of service credit
- You have five years of service credit, and you earned at least 12 months of that service credit after age 44
- You earned five years of service credit before July 1, 1996
The vesting period only applies to the defined benefit part of TRS 3. You always have access to your defined contributions.
Service credit
Service credit is based on the number of hours you work each month and how long you have participated in the retirement plan. The UW reports your hours and earnings to the Washington state Department of Retirement Systems (DRS) every payday.
There's no limit to the amount of service credit that you can earn. Plus, you keep your service credit if you leave your job. That way, you can continue to build your service credit should you return to work at UW or another state agency.
You earn service credit on a monthly basis. Generally, you need to work at least 90 hours per month to earn one month of credit. Twelve months of service credit equal a service credit year. In some cases, you can earn a service credit year for working a minimum number of hours during a nine-month-long "school year."
Average final compensation
This is your average monthly salary calculated over the 60 consecutive months (five years) where your salary was the highest. In most cases, this is your final five years before retiring; though, some people may have higher salaries during other points in their career.
Suppose you're 65 years old, and in 2017 after working at UW for 32 years, you're retiring. This is what you would need to know to calculate your TRS 3 retirement income:
|Years of service credit:
|Average final compensation:
|$8,333.33 per month
|Defined benefit retirement income:
|$2,666.67 per month (0.01 x 32 x $8,333.33)
Part 2: Your defined contribution
At retirement, part of your TRS 3 income comes from your defined benefit. The other part comes from your defined contribution. The amount you receive from this part depends on two factors: how much you've contributed over the years and how well your investments have performed.
Contribution options
You're required to contribute a portion of your salary to your TRS 3 plan. When enrolling, you must choose from among six contribution options. Choose carefully, though, because once you enroll you can't change your contribution percentage.
These contributions are automatically taken out of your paycheck on a pretax basis. This lowers your taxable income, which in turn lowers the amount of taxes your pay. Your contributions are then invested in your retirement fund.
|You contribute from your paycheck:
|5% always
|5% to age 35
6% ages 35 – 44
7.5% age 45 and older
|6% to age 35
7.5% ages 35 – 44
8.5% age 45 and older
|7% always
|10% always
|15% always
Investment options
What's your approach to investing for retirement? Whether you're a hands-on investor or prefer a simpler target-date fund, you've got several options for investing your TRS 3 defined contribution.
For help determining which investing approach is best for you, visit the TRS Plan 3 investment page, which contains investment guides, fund descriptions, quarterly reports, and other retirement planning tips.
Leaving UW before you're vested
Leaving your job at the UW before you're vested affects each part of your TRS 3 plan differently.
Defined benefit funds
If you aren't vested and you leave your job at UW, then you won't be eligible to receive any portion of your TRS 3 defined benefit. You do, however, maintain the service credit that you've earned, which you can later use should you go back to work for UW or for another state agency.
Defined contribution funds
Once you leave your job at UW, you can either withdraw the funds from your TRS 3 investment account or leave them in the account.
There are IRS tax implications to withdrawing your contributions, so check with a tax advisor before withdrawing. In most cases, you can transfer your funds to a qualified retirement account, such as an IRA, without facing a tax penalty.
Early retirement
If you're vested, you're eligible to retire at age 65. You also have the option to retire earlier, but your defined benefit will be reduced. To retire early, you must be at least 55 and have 10 or more years of service credit. For full details about early retirement, read the TRS Plan 3 Handbook.
If you're ready to start planning your retirement from UW, see preparing to retire with TRS 3.
Retirement plan loans
You can't take out a loan from your TRS 3 funds or otherwise access your funds while you're working at UW. You can only access your funds after you've left your job at UW or have retired from UW.

For nearly 20 years Calvary has partnered in ministry with Pastors Luis & Mimi Ojeda in Ensenada, Mexico. Through their local church, Iglesia Monte Sion (Mt. Zion Church), the Ojedas are making an impact on the Ensnada community and the surround region--including the nearby Kumeyaay Indian reservation. Life on the reservation is very difficult as many from the community have been trapped for decades in a cycle of poverty, alcoholism and drug abuse. Teen pregnancy is rampant, and only one girl from the village has ever gone on to receive a college education and find employment. Many of the Kumeyaay youth do not attend high school for lack of parental support, transportation and a mountain of other obstacles every day.
To meet these needs head-on, Calvary will be funding a building project in partnership with Mt. Zion Church to provide housing for several Kumeyaay Indian girls. The home will be situated next to Mt. Zion Church and will allow them to attend a public high school and to break free from the oppressive situations that they face in their community. The young ladies will be cared for by a "house mother" from the church and supported by the church family.
Both teams will be doing framing, rough plumbing, electrical, roofing, drywalling.
Needed: Skilled builders/contractors, and others willing to serve.
Cost: $150 (includes transportation, food, lodging, insurance for 3 days)
Please contact Steve if you are interested in joining any of the construction trips below at firstname.lastname@example.com or 818 416-4193.
Please complete the online application if you would like to go on one of the trip. Designate which trip you hope to go on on the application.
Once your application has been approved by the Team Leader, you can pay by credit card from this page.
Checks may also be made out to Calvary Community Church with Mexico Trip 824 in the memo. Please also designate which trip participant the donation was intended for by attaching a note to the check.
*Please note: All contributions are non-refundable. Should a particular person not participate in the Trip, should the Trip be cancelled, or a particular person fundraise more than his or her Trip cost, all donations received for that Trip shall be used to pay the expenses of other people participating in the Trip, reallocated to other Short-Term Trips, or reallocated to the general fund, at the discretion of Calvary.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
I'm teaming up with some people to put on a show of tons and tons of mini zines in the gallery of Meltdown Comics. The idea is for the person to make a bunch of copies of a mini zine or art book and an accompanying display to hang on the wall. The display can be no larger than a square foot and should have a place for people to leave a donation when they take a zine, honor system style.
The idea…
