Good afternoon.
I thank you for this great opportunity to talk about one of the defining issues of our time—the relationship between the U.S. and China. The Committee of 100 is a vital voice in deepening that relationship and furthering understanding on both sides. Your role will only grow as the importance of U.S.-China ties intensifies.
Just two days ago, in Washington, I joined Secretary of State Clinton, Secretary of the Treasury Geithner, and Secretary of Commerce Locke in meeting a delegation of senior Chinese officials, including Vice Premier Wang Qishan and State Councilor Dai Bingguo, as well as a number of China's most prominent business leaders. I am proud—and grateful—that Citi is a part of this U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue. And I'm encouraged by the news that Secretary Locke will be America's new ambassador to Beijing, where I'm confident he will represent our country well.
Citi began its operations in China in Shanghai in 1902. Today, we have 5,000 people working in the country. We maintain retail branches in 13 cities. And we have developed joint ventures with both the Guangdong and Shanghai Pudong Development Banks.
Citi is also a "Founders Circle" member of the State Department's "100,000 Strong" Initiative, a program that helps to enhance America's understanding of China by increasing the number of American students who live and study in China. Over the next four years, we plan to provide more than 100 internships in our offices in China.
Mutual understanding has never been more important. Senior government officials and business leaders on both sides of the Pacific have called the Beijing-Washington relationship the single most important bilateral relationship in the world today. And they are exactly right.
But I would go further. It's not merely the most important. It's also unique—in our time … and in history. Great power rivalries are common. What's unusual is a situation in which the world's two leading powers are partners across a range of globally important issues.
That's not to say that the U.S. and China don't have their differences. But I think it's more constructive to focus on what's working—and on those areas where it makes sense for the two countries to work more closely together.
As you know, I'm a banker, and bankers are not usually good politicians. So I'm not here to give political advice. Instead, I want to talk about the collaborative role that our two economies can play in driving world growth—and how that role is changing.
My company maintains a physical presence in 101 countries and does business in some 60 more. I am in constant contact with our people on the ground and with ministers and central bankers in many nations. I also do a fair bit of travelling myself. Most of our employees and clients, as well as the government officials I talk to, see the U.S.-China relationship in fundamentally the same way. That's the perspective I'd like to share today.
We are the two most important economies in the world—and not just because we are the two largest. Our importance is deeper than that. The U.S. is the world's largest economy—and it's the largest consumer market, one of the largest manufacturers and still the biggest innovator. In other words, the U.S. economy has the single greatest impact on global economic aggregates.
While the U.S. sets the average, China drives the margin. It's not only the world's fastest-growing major economy overall. China also has the world's fastest-growing consumer market and is increasing the pace of its resource usage faster than any other country.
Thus, together the two economies drive the prices for virtually every important commodity in the world—from food to energy to raw materials—and in large measure determine what kind of jobs are created, where, and at what pace. The rest of the world's economies not only feed American and Chinese consumption and growth … they either ride the wave of our success ... or suffer when we stall.
Therefore, it's plain that our countries have two important responsibilities: first, to manage our own bilateral relationship well … and second, to jointly manage how the two of us together affect and interact with the wider world. I'll spend the bulk of my remarks on the first point and just touch on the second.
To borrow a Chinese metaphor, over the last few decades—and especially before the financial crisis—the U.S. and Chinese economies have been locked in a yin-yang relationship. They are like complementary opposites that together form a whole. Neither, I would argue, is a well-balanced economy on its own. But together they set the pace for the world.
For most of the duration of this relationship so far, the U.S. pursued a growth model that was based on consumption, fueled by debt. China grew by increasing its investment very rapidly, by vastly expanding its export sector, and by investing the resulting surplus cash reserves mainly in the U.S.
We now know that the model had real limitations. It produced illusory growth in the U.S. for a time. But when the bubble burst, that model exploded with it. The U.S. was left with a mountain of debt that could take decades to pay off. Millions of jobs evaporated—many in industries such as housing construction and mortgage brokerage that will never return in anything like their former strength. As America's export and manufacturing sectors atrophied, the U.S. economy lost much of its crucial diversification.
The financial crisis was like a great storm that ripped the hood off the American economy. It exposed the engine to plain sight for the first time in a long time. And it allowed Americans to see that we face some serious structural issues, including massive public and private debt, an unsustainably low savings rate, huge trade imbalances, and lackluster exports.
Some believe that the Chinese model is a lot better. China weathered the crisis more quickly, with less pain, and avoided most of the worst problems that we face here. And it did so while racking up incredible accomplishments. China's GDP has grown at roughly 10 percent per year for decades, rising twenty-fold in the last 30 years. China recently overtook Japan as the world's second largest economy and—depending on how you measure—is now either the world's number one manufacturer or else just behind the United States.
No other country in world economic history has risen so far, so fast. The only conceivable parallel is Japan in the second half of the last century—at least until the Nikkei and Tokyo property bubbles deflated in the early 1990s. Thus the high-savings, high-manufacturing, export-driven model clearly holds some attraction.
But the Chinese model faces its own challenges—ones that the Chinese government is aware of and working to address.
The first is the high savings rate. It's understandable why the Chinese people are such diligent savers. Many feel economically insecure. The social safety net in China is less developed than it is in the U.S. Capital markets are still in the early stages of development, making it necessary to save large down-payments toward the purchase of consumer durables and property.
All that money has to be invested somewhere. Given Chinese constraints on cross-border capital flows, this high level of private savings can't flow out of the country and find productive investments abroad because today only the government lends on the international market. As a result, we can't be confident that what investment that does take place is happening efficiently. As too much money chases too few opportunities in the domestic market, asset price inflation is inevitable.
Second, the Chinese consumer market hasn't yet come close to fulfilling its vast potential. A savings rate of 53 percent—which prevails in China today—translates to rates of consumer spending that are well behind China's peers in the developing world and lower even than some countries with markedly lower per capita incomes, such as India. In addition, household disposable income makes up a surprisingly low share of China's GDP. Wage income is only about 45 percent of GDP, compared to 65 to 75 percent in advanced industrial countries. China consumes only 35 percent of its GDP annually, a rate far lower than the other BRIC countries and half the level of the U.S. Low consumer spending could limit future Chinese growth—especially as consumption slows in Western countries.
Vice Premier Wang, with whom I met two days ago, said the same thing recently to Charlie Rose: China faces an imbalance between savings and consumption. It's an imbalance that is almost the mirror image of the imbalance that troubles the American economy.
China's savings rate is too high, America's is too low. China's consumer spending is too low, America's is too high. America is burdened by excessive public and private leverage, while China accumulates more capital than it can productively invest at home. China lacks a sufficiently robust safety net, whereas America's safety net is fueling our debt problem and needs reform. America runs a massive trade deficit while China maintains a surplus.
We all know why these imbalances aren't good for the American side of the equation. Less appreciated in the long run is that they are unlikely to be good for the Chinese side either—and Chinese government officials seem to understand that very well.
China recently approved a new five-year plan that specifically seeks to rebalance its economy, with a greater emphasis on domestic demand as a new source of growth. Chinese markets are increasingly opening up, with an emphasis on industries that are high-tech, high value-added and low-energy consumption.
Officials still face some difficult decisions with no easy answers, only trade-offs. Making the currency convertible would go a long way toward solving the liquidity problem and addressing inflation. But it might also exacerbate unemployment and slow growth. The dialogue continues but there's reason to be confident that China will find the right balance.
On the U.S. side, we have no choice but to get the country's finances in order. Second, we should work on correcting our trade imbalances, which means addressing the consumer-producer imbalance in our domestic economy. Third, we need more economic diversification. Fourth, we need to advocate for—and help create—a better and more protective environment for intellectual property around the world … and we need China's help to accomplish that.
I'm not going to say much more about the first point, except that one never sees growth without confidence. And a credible plan to address the debt is necessary to restore confidence, which in turn will inspire real investment.
The other three essentially boil down to one: America needs to become a bigger exporter.
China may now be tied, or close, to the U.S. in total manufacturing output—each country generated about $2 trillion in manufacturing output last year. But the U.S. did so with 11 million workers in the sector compared to 100 million on the Chinese side. The United States remains a manufacturing powerhouse.
But America has become—especially compared to our peers—a weak exporter. According to the National Association of Manufacturers, among the world's 15 top manufacturing economies, the United States ranks only 13th in how much of that output we export. Only Brazil and Russia score lower. Stated differently, we are 55 percent below the world average in the share of our manufacturing output that we export.
For the last few decades, consumer demand in the U.S. and elsewhere in the developed world helped the emerging markets build their exports and their economies. In the process, we not only consumed too much. Crucially, we also didn't focus enough on stimulating consumption and demand for our goods and services in other countries.
The remedy is obvious. The emerging markets are developing enormous consumer blocs. Around the globe, millions of people rise above poverty and enter the middle class every year—by one estimate, some 70 million in 2009 alone. According to another estimate, by 2020, three-quarters of incremental consumer spending will come from emerging markets. If that bears out, then Asia will overtake North America as the world's largest consumer bloc.
I see this rising economic power as an opportunity. American business can help kick start our economy and correct our consumer-supplier imbalance by reviving our export sector—by selling to the emerging- market consumer.
That means maintaining a strong commitment to free trade. The three trade agreements awaiting ratification in the U.S. Congress—with Colombia, Panama, and South Korea—are critical for the U.S. economy and for expanding American exports. So is further engagement at the multilateral level.
But, as noted, by far the most underdeveloped consumer market among the world's major economies is China's. The rise of the Chinese consumer is not just an opportunity for American business. It is, and should be seen as, the culmination of decades of reform and progress by the Chinese government. Rising incomes mean greater opportunities and higher living standards for the Chinese people.
Most of the issues I have discussed here are domestic priorities that each nation has to confront separately. But there remain many issues that we need to confront together. As the world's two largest economies for the foreseeable future, we have an interest in helping to build and support an international system that is not just in our own interests, but in the service of broad-based growth across the globe.
All the other economies in the world look to ours for direction—and more. As the leading average and marginal consumers and price-setters for the world, we are also the primary direct and indirect sources of the world's jobs. The need is enormous. By some estimates, just to recover from the recession and to keep ahead of demographic trends, the U.S. will need to create 12.5 million jobs through the rest of this decade. China will need 20 million, and India 88 million. Africa will need 125 million, Latin America another 44 million—and the entirety of the developing world will need nearly 400 million new jobs—or 40 million per year.
Chinese and American focus up to now, and especially in the wake of the recession, has understandably been on creating jobs in our own countries. But it's no longer enough only to focus on our own growth. It's in both countries' interests to think more broadly. First, because our own growth increasingly depends on the economic health of other nations. Second, because that growth depends on the political stability of other nations, which is determined in part by their labor markets. Third, because we are increasingly producing in global supply chains that depend on cross-border trade and investment flows. And finally, because it's simply the right thing to do.
This relationship is remarkable for its unprecedented nature. Our collective task is to keep it that way. Devolution into trade wars—or worse—would fit the template of history. But I don't see that happening this time.
In any case, history is always what leaders make it. Everyone in this room is a leader. I thank the Committee of 100 for leading the U.S.-China relationship in a direction of greater cooperation. We at Citi are working to do our part—for both countries' benefit … and for the benefit of all the world.
Thank you.

UTL_FILE provides file access both on the client side and on the server side. When run on the server, UTL_FILE provides access to all operating system files that are accessible from the server. On the client side, as in the case for Forms applications, UTL_FILE provides access to operating system files that are accessible from the client.[url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e26088/statements_5007.htm#SQLRF01207]CREATE DIRECTORY
You must have CREATE ANY DIRECTORY system privilege to create directories.SQL*Plus runs server side so you cannot use utl_file to write files to your local drive unless the server itself can see your local drive.
What is your goal for this?

Why do you feel you need to use utl_file for whatever purpose you need?

It's been a wild couple of days for tight end Martellus Bennett, who hit the free agency ground running and almost immediately signed a long-term deal with the Chicago Bears. And as sad as it is to see the Black Unicorn changing his uniform, at least he's doing it with the same class and dignity we've come to expect from him after a season with the New York Giants.
On Thursday, Bennett took to Twitter and thanked the Giants organization and the fans of New York for the opportunity to revitalize his career.
"I'm extremely appreciative of all the guys and the whole Giants organization as well as the wonderful fans. New York was truly a blessing to me," Bennett tweeted. "I will be forever grateful for the opportunity I was given in New York and being a part of an organization that believed in me."
In addition to that thank you, Bennett set aside a tweet specifically for tight ends coach Mike Pope, whom he worked with daily during his time in the Big Apple.
"Great talk with Coach Pope this morning. Love that dude. Couldn't have asked for a better man to help me understand who I was a player," he tweeted.
Whatever it was the Dallas Cowboys would have had you believe about Bennett following the 2011-2012 season proved to be entirely inaccurate. Not only was Bennett a tremendously hard worker and a perfect teammate, but he was also great with the fans and media alike. He played through pain, put up big numbers and never complained about a single thing. He went out each week and gave 100% and never once shied away from fan interaction.
All told, Bennett was the ideal athlete and person. The Bears and their fans are lucky to have him, and we will continue to wish him well.

Tourist Season
Hiaasen's first novel is packed with absurdity and laughter for its readers. This conspiracy story is based in Florida around the destruction of the keys. Hiaasen tells of an eco-terrorist bent on wreaking havoc on the unsuspected tourists who have led to the elimination of much of the natural habitat. However, this is no ordinary conspiracy plot - when the head of the chambers of commerce is found hacked to pieces and with a rubber alligator stuffed dow...


text: With the news that Jean Paul Gaultier is leaving his post at Hermès, it's safe to assume that the designer will have more time to focus on creative collaborations such as this one with Levi's. The all-American jean company reached out to the eccentric JPG to create a collection of denim pieces complete with his trademark aesthetics, including cone boobs, to bring a designer feel to denim. JPG provided a selection of fashion-forward clothing items to the denim brand, ranging from harem pants to jean jackets. Out of all the options, I'm in love with the dungaree dress. It's perfect for summer with cutouts perfect for warm weather, and you can layer in a tee to transform it into a day dress, or wear it on top of a bikini for a trip to the beach. The cost leaves much to be desired though, as pieces range from about $173 to $478, but they are Jean Paul Gaultier creations, after all. See more after the jump … [Levis via Styleite]


text: Hi :) after installing PC-BSD 8.2 64-bit on a multi-Linux-multi-boot machine, I've got some issues. 1. Since I installed a xorg.conf, I sometimes have a wrong keyboard layout for KDM only, for the KDE sessions it's always ok. Sometimes I can type a "+" and sometimes I have to type a "`" to get a "+". I also wonder what options I need to include to the xorg.conf and what options I don't need to include. At the moment KDE disables desktop effects, because the graphics should be to slow. I can't attach the current, unfinished xorg.conf now, but perhaps it's a known issue. For me this problem anyway is less important. 2. An important issue is, that I only can remove and update software, but I can't install software. I always get a notification, that I should try downloading the software later, but this never did work. 3. Another important issue is, that I need the snd_hdspe driver. Can I update the kernel, or build a driver only or is there a special kernel version I've to build? 4. I don't have any experiences and knowledge about BSD. It seems to be, that I only can mount my Linux ext3 partitions, but not the ext4 partitions, at least by Dolphin. I try to test FreeBSD/PC-BSD for audio and MIDI. Fixed installed to the machine are 3 audio devices, one RME HDSPe AIO used with an ADA8000 for audio, two TerraTec EWX 96/24 (Envy24) for MIDI only and external devices can be USB MIDI devices, such as the KORG nanoKONTROL. 5. Regarding to audio software I wonder, if I should install FreeBSD or keep PC-BSD, since mixing "packages" should cause issues. I also wonder what architecture is the better, 32-bit or 64-bit, regarding to audio usage and if there is something I should take care about, regarding to real-time scheduling. Regards, Ralf

I was interested to read your Viewpoint in the November edition of Shopping Centre in the wake of our record-setting BCSC Conference & Showcase.

According to the latest retail sales monitor from the British Retail Consortium and KPMG, UK retail sales rose 1.2 per cent on a like-for-like basis in November, compared with the previous November when sales were up only 0.5 per cent. November's growth is just above October's 1.0 per cent but well below the average for both 2006 and 2007 to date.
The expected flood to the high street this week has been more of a washout for retailers, as the year-on-year fall in shopper numbers continue to plummet, according to Experian's FootFall division. Although showing a week-on-week increase of 5.6 per cent, the FootFall index for the week commencing 26 November recorded a dismal decrease of 3.5 per cent on the same spending period last year, as Christmas shopping figures continue to trail those of 2006.

While wayfinding signs are probably the most familiar forms of signage in shopping centres, the industry seems to be evolving towards digital technology and other media. Indeed while wayfinding is, and always will be, vital to shoppers, communicating the right messages to the consumer, such as promoting in-store offers or upcoming events, is also becoming increasingly important.

Dragonair Plushie by PixelCrochetWatch
Dragonair plushie I did for a friend! She is super adorable and I just don't want to let her go. I finally got to do some "professional" shots of her and hopefully you like her. She was relatively easy, the only problem was trying to keep her small!
The last time I tried making Dragonair, I ended up with something that was almost five feet long and it didn't look good at all. This cutie is a little under two feet long and much more manageable. Now I am doing the requested Ampharos that you all voted on and I hope she turns out as cute as this one!
If you haven't heard, my Tumblr giveaway is going on where you could win your very own custom crochet Pokemon for free! And if you don't win there, go like my Facebook page. Once that reaches 100 likes, a similar giveaway will happen there! If you would just like to buy a PokePlush (or commission one I haven't done yet!), check out my Etsy store!
It's a very sweet dragonair.

Gores signs agreement to purchase Detroit Pistons
California billionaire Tom Gores and his investment firm, Platinum Equity, reached an agreement to buy the Detroit Pistons from Karen Davidson, the two sides announced Friday.
Terms of the deal, which also includes sale of the Palace of Auburn Hills (the Pistons' arena), DTE Energy Music Theater and the operating rights to Meadow Brook Music Festival, were not disclosed. In January, Forbes magazine said the Pistons were worth $360 million in its annual team valuations.
The deal must be approved by the NBA.
"We are pleased to welcome Tom Gores as the new owner of the Detroit Pistons and Palace Sports and Entertainment," Karen Davidson said in a statement. "Just as my late husband, Bill Davidson, was the face of the Pistons, I am confident that Tom will bring the same energy, dedication and love to this organization. I look forward to seeing Tom follow in Bill's footsteps, and carry on his legacy."
Gores, who grew up outside of Flint, Mich., and attended Michigan State University, is the chairman and CEO of Platinum Equity. Gores and Davidson have been trying to reach an agreement for months – after Detroit Red Wings and Detroit Tigers owner Mike Ilitch failed to reach a deal with Davidson.
"I am very proud to have this opportunity to be part of such a tremendous organization," Gores said in a statement. "I know it's been a long process and I appreciate the patience and support of the Detroit community. I have been impressed with the Davidson family and the way it has protected and built such a storied franchise. I grew up here, I am glad to be back, and I am very excited about all the possibilities looking forward."
Gores is among the USA's wealthiest individuals with an estimated worth of $2.4 billion, according to Forbes. His company specializes in "mergers, acquisitions, and operations of companies that provide mission-critical products, services, and solutions in diverse industries," according to Platinum's website. His firm is known for taking over distressed businesses and making them profitable.
The Pistons have been hamstrung by the sale. They are one of the few NBA teams that have not made a player transaction this season amid a 27-51 season under second-year coach John Kuester.
Bill Davidson bought the Pistons in 1974, and they were competitive in the mid-1970s. However, the team struggled through the late 1970s and early 1980s.
The Pistons' fortunes turned for the better when they hired Chuck Daly to coach the team. With the dapper Daly coaching and Isiah Thomas, Joe Dumars, Bill Laimbeer, Vinnie Johnson, Dennis Rodman and John Salley playing, the Pistons become one of the best teams in the late 1980s. Detroit reached the Eastern Conference finals in 1987 and lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in the 1988 NBA Final before beating the Lakers in the 1989 Finals and Portland Trail Blazers in the 1990 Finals.
Detroit was also a strong team for a good stretch of the 2000s. The Pistons reached the Eastern Conference finals six consecutive seasons from 2002-2003 to 2007-2008 under three different coaches –Rick Carlisle, Larry Brown and Flip Saunders. Detroit won the 2004 NBA championship under Brown.
The team has struggled in the past three seasons. Detroit lost in the first round of the 2009 playoffs, and coach Michael Curry was fired after just one season.
Kuester went 27-55 with Detroit last season, and this season hasn't been any better, plus it has been marked by player unhappiness. Guard Richard Hamilton, who at one time had a sterling reputation among Pistons fans, became a problem and played in just three games from Jan. 10 through March 1. Veterans Tayshaun Prince and Rodney Stuckey have also butted heads with Kuester.
Gores' firm made a popular splash a year ago in the community of Cadillac, Mich., 200 miles northwest of Detroit. Platinum Equity essentially bought the bankrupt Four Winns boat manufacturing company in a move officials said saved or created hundreds of jobs.
"I am completely convinced that unless Mr. Gores had bought the company and his particular interest in Michigan that the facility would close down, and they would have moved all their manufacturing out of Michigan," said Paul Brown, vice president of capital markets for the Michigan Economic Development Corp.
One of Platinum Equity's latest acquisitions was Keystone Automotive Operations, an aftermarket accessories and equipment distributor.
Gores lives in Beverly Hills, Calif., with his wife and three children. He enjoys coaching youth soccer and basketball teams and is a philanthropist in education, health and the arts, according to the bio on his website.
Gores' two brothers are also wealthy. Alex Gores is also a private equity investor worth an estimated $1.6 billion, according to Forbes, and Sam Gores is the chairman of Paradigm, a large entertainment talent agency whose clients include Philip Seymour Hoffman, Katherine Heigl, The Dead and Dave Matthews Band.
The Gores family is not without movie-like intrigue involving infamous Hollywood private investigator Anthony Pellicano who is serving time in prison for wiretapping and conspiracy to commit wiretapping. Members of the Gores family were caught up in the 2008 trial when it was revealed Tom Gores allegedly had an affair with his brother Alec's wife.

Today's online video media newborn displays accomplish far more compared to view and hear. Available alternatives include room heat monitoring, IR (infrared) LEDs to view in the dark and Wi-Fi, online video media saving in addition to Skype functionality, to identify a couple of. Nearly all types include father or mother chat back so that the caretaker could temporarily relieve newborn devoid of walking in the nursery. Some usually are so-called 3-in-1 monitors with video, audio tracks and sensor sleep pad capability. We'll check out the actual functions available on the newest and a lot well-liked types of the very best scored child displays later on in this article.
Exactly why must mom and dad consider a online video media child observe?

Additional works by using with regard to video clip child displays include sleep teaching regarding youngsters in addition to surveillance connected with older kids.

That employ alone provides a online video media observe the calf way up more than regular audio monitors. Way too, changing older children from your baby crib into a greater child's cargo area almost always is an ordeal. Rather than remaining in mattress with regard to sleep, toddlers are usually wont automobile to the playroom or maybe produce a trip to their own parents' bedroom. Having a online video media keep track of, little ones could be found the minute these people investigate outside of his or her cargo area as well as before going straight down your corridor — so acquiring the particular fun out of walking throughout the house unsupervised.

Many of these options usually are vital. Your baby online video media observe in which doesn't include IR nighttime eyesight will likely be pointless without having adequate normal illumination as well as who wants to retain a room's signals on only to make use of the baby cam? One more essential element is the Lower Power Warning — zero mother or father would like to depart newborn unguaranteed regarding likely a long time prior to finding how the unit's power supply had been used up. Along with hired caregivers or nannies, movie taking may be meant for insurance plan functions. When the house was in a new densely inhabited urban place, a digital keep track of is likely to be necessary, as it employs encrypting technological innovation. A good analog video clip newborn keep an eye on will be susceptible to intercepting signals through additional equipment in which employ analog impulses, for example some other video clip displays or cord-less phones that reveal identical 900 MHz regularity. It's possible that the felony might create a great analog check to get this video clip give food to in your own home! I can agree, a great deal of believed needs to be granted any time modifying your movie infant monitor's apps regarding one's specific surroundings and also circumstances.

EL notes: Giants' Parker starts to soar
Outfielder raises game after moving to top of Richmond order
By David Driver / Special to MLB.com | June 4, 2013 6:00 AM ET
Over his first two years of pro ball, Jarrett Parker hit .250 and struck out a whopping 319 times with San Jose in the Class A Advanced California League. Given these less-than-stellar numbers, it may have come as a surprise to some when he was promoted to Richmond to start this season.
"I wasn't surprised," said the 24-year-old corner outfielder.
Fred Stanley, San Francisco's director of player development, said a simple change of scenery can sometimes aid a player. And in the case of Parker, the relocation represented a homecoming as he grew up just an hour north of Richmond in Stafford, Va.
"He has some Major League tools," said Stanley, adding that Parker also has been aided by more protection in the Richmond lineup. "He can play all three outfield positions. He's really starting to figure it out."
That was certainly the case Sunday when he delivered a pinch-hit homer off Justin Souza in the 10th inning to give Richmond a 5-4 win over visiting Erie, his sixth long ball in his last 10 games.
"It was a 3-2 changeup," recalled Parker, who is hitting .258 with 11 homers, 33 RBIs, nine doubles, three triples and six steals this season. "I watched the batters before me. That's what baseball is about: being comfortable and confident."
A standout at the University of Virginia, Parker was a second-round pick of the Giants in 2010. After a slow start this season in which he hit .205 in his first 73 at-bats, he batted .291 with eight homers and 26 RBIs in 28 games in May.
"A lot of the California guys have been complaining about the weather, but I've enjoyed it," Parker said. "It's also nice to be on familiar turf. That's been helpful for me."
His parents have made the short trek down I-95 to see home games in Richmond and were also at Bowie, less than two hours from their home in Northern Virginia, for a series in early May.
Parker put on a show during a recent four-game series in Altoona. He hit two homers May 25, then hit two more the next day with both blasts coming in the first inning. He had seven RBIs that game and in the series amassed eight hits, including five homers, and 12 RBIs.
"We're seeing great arms every night," said Parker, who has struck out 60 times and walked 18 in 51 games this season. "Guys have unbelievable arms."
Along with the move closer to home, Parker has also been relocated within the Richmond lineup. After batting fifth, sixth or seventh for much of the season, he was moved to the leadoff spot in mid May and has formed a solid one-two punch with second baseman Joe Panik.
"The thing about Joe is he always has quality, consistent at-bats," Parker said. "He can spray the ball to left, right and center."
In brief
Walk-off magic: For the third time in a week, Bowie gave up a lead in the ninth inning only to win the game. One of the heroes for the Baysox was Brandon Waring, who slapped a base-loaded single in the bottom of the ninth for a 7-6 win over Reading on Thursday. "I was looking to get the job done early," Waring said. "I was sitting 1-0 and he threw me a fastball a little bit up that I fouled off. I took a step out to get focused and he threw another pitch lower in the zone and I was able to get the head of the bat on it."
Rough opening: Christian Garcia, one of the top pitching prospects in the Washington Nationals system, made his first appearance of the season Friday night with Harrisburg and allowed two runs in the ninth inning as Trenton won, 4-3. The 27-year-old right-hander, who made 13 relief appearances with the Nats last season, bounced back Sunday and pitched a scoreless inning.
Flying solo: Altoona beat Portland, 2-1, on Saturday night with all three runs coming on leadoff homers, including Mel Rojas' game-winner off Miguel Celestino in the top of the ninth inning. "It was certainly an interesting game," Sea Dogs manager Kevin Boles told The Portland Press-Herald.

When I ordered my top a question nobody could answer was what is the big difference between a 229$ top and a 329$ top. I just took,off a 329$ and replaced it with a 229 one. Now I feel qualified to answer. What's the difference? Not much. There are a few places that the more expensive top has plastic tabs that the cheaper top has cloth tabs. I felt that the cloth tabs would not be as durable. So, in those spots I glued the tab with contact cement before putting the screws in. There is also one set of straps at the back that are not present on the cheaper top. It does not seem to be any different in the operation. I am sure the tabs in plastic would have made it easier to pull the top into place. Is it a one hundred dollar difference? In my humble opinion, probably not. I will keep you updated on the longevity issues I find, but for now I am perfectly happy with the cheaper top.

Another dogfight double this month. This North African themed set didn't exist when Triple P was younger but the desert camouflage looks very effective. The RAF had been suffering in the air against the BF 109Fs of the Luftwaffe but the arrival in theatre of the Mk V Spitfire not only regained the balance in the air war but tipped it in favour of the RAF.
When Triple P was younger he was always a bit disappointed of the size of the models of these two planes in 1/72 scale; which is whey he tended to build bombers. This would be an impressive package in 1/48 scale, however.

Subject: Shakespeare and the Powers of Language
I'm designing an MA module. Its going to be called Shakespeare and the
Powers of Language. Its obviously a big miscellaneous topic. The aim
is to bring together, in nine seminars taught over nine weeks, various
kinds of understanding. Rhetoric, poetics, linguistics and the kind of
cultural history that the children of Foucault are good at. I'd love to
know, for self-clarification, if anyone is doing anything similar.

Ms. Cheezious on Wednesday at Brickell: Here's the Cheese on Food Truck Life
The bikini-clad vixen beckons to the hungry: You want something, don't ya? That's nuts and also unnecessary. This popular food truck knows what you want: Grilled cheese! The menu doesn't include American on white. There's perfectly grilled goat cheese and prosciutto on rye, and apples with havarti. You can also crunch on a side of scrumptious sweet potato fries and sip on the girlfriend of grilled cheese, tomato soup.
Short Order met with Brian Mullins, co-owner with Christian Dickens, of Ms. Cheezious at a recent round-up to talk truck.
New Times: What made you choose grilled cheese as your main dish?
Brian Mullins: Well, who doesn't like grilled cheese? You know it's like, when you're sick, when you're feeling great, when you wake up in the morning, you can eat one. You can eat one for lunch or dinner or for a snack.
What's the craziest thing that's happened to you at one of these meet-ups?
We had this lady last week, she showed up at Tamiami and that was the fourth time she'd seen us that week, and she was like, is this crazy? And I'm like, I don't mind if you don't mind. I think it's really cool that a lot of people have really embraced it and really like what we're serving. Although, I have to say they were doing pony rides at that meet-up.&
How many hours do spend prepping?
I work a lot. We probably don't need to work as much as we do right now but it's important. We just debuted the truck it needs to be on the street, it needs to be seen. We need to be fully stocked all the time, so hours, my days run from 7 to 8 o'clock in the morning to 1 in the morning. We work five and a half days, usually take one off, and then one is more cleaning type stuff and prep and maintenance for the truck.
Do you get claustrophobic back there?
We probably have one of the bigger models of trucks that you can have. We work with five or six people back there, comfortably. We have a big truck. I think that if we were in a smaller truck, the day would feel much longer, trapped in a little box.
Fatima Mullins: It's actually as big as some big restaurant's kitchens. Someone that worked at Cheesecake told me that the kitchen was bigger than that one. That's scary for them. We all fit fine.

11th goal gives Milwaukee 1-0 win
DeKALB, Ill. - Junior Laurie Bell scored in the 74th minute and the defense recorded its seventh shutout of the season as the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee claimed a 1-0 victory over Northern Illinois University Wednesday evening.
"We are happy with the result," Milwaukee head coach Kris Kelderman said. "It was a tough night; the elements played a big part in the game and it was one that could have gone either way. Fortunately for us, Laurie had a great goal. One real opportunity and he finished his chance just like he has been doing all year."
The Panthers (12-2-2) and Huskies (4-11-0) spent the entire contest under less-than-ideal playing conditions, as heavy rains fell throughout the entire contest. With the victory, UWM keeps possession of the LeWang Trophy for the third-consecutive season.
"It was tough to control the ball with the rain coming down the way it did," Kelderman said. "The turf was slippery and I think that it actually slowed the game down. You have to take that extra touch to make sure you have control of the ball. We knew it was going to play a part of it. But, defensively, we have been tough and we have taken a lot of pride in that."
Bell's league-leading 11th goal of the season provided the difference. Freshman Kostas Kotselas won the battle for a 50-50 ball near the top of the 18-yard box and the clearance came straight to Bell. He one-timed it to the right side in the 74th minute to break up the scoreless draw.
The defense did the rest, fending off the Huskies, who had a dangerous free kick just outside the box with 40 seconds remaining. Freshman Liam Anderson finished with four saves.
Neither team was able to do much in the first half, with both squads recording three shots. For the Panthers, Bell had a go at it from distance in the 22nd minute and senior James Ashcroft one-timed an endline serve from senior Robbie Boyd in the 27th minute, but both attempts were off the mark.
Junior Luke Goodnetter had the only attempt that needed a save, sending a shot through traffic from about 40 yards out, but the NIU keeper pushed it just wide at the post to give UWM its only corner kick of the first 45 minutes.
Each of the Huskies first-half shots came from a safe distance, with Anderson making a pair of easy saves on the ones that were on frame.
For the game, UWM was outshot for just the third time this season at 9-to-7. NIU also had four of the seven corner kicks and 10 of the 19 fouls.
The Panthers close out the regular season next week Saturday against Cleveland State. Join the team for "Senior Day" against the Vikings, set for a 7 p.m. start at Engelmann Stadium.

Filed under: Weight loss
There's an old adage you may have heard: "Eat after eight, put on weight." And maybe you've experienced it first-hand: You noticed that eating those late night pizzas and ice cream really packed on the pounds. But was your weight gain due to timing or just the high calorie counts? According to research in the field of circadian rhythms (CRs)—the 24-hour cycle of your body's biological, hormonal, and behavioral patterns—it seems that when you eat could be just as important to weight gain as what you eat.
Deep within your brain sits a small cluster of nerve cells—a "master clock" of sorts—that's responsible for orchestrating your CRs. Each biological system in your body works on a different CR schedule, and the master clock keeps all the schedules in sync. For example, CRs influence your body's production of the hormones that regulate hunger, as well as how your body uses and stores fats and sugar, ultimately influencing your body weight, performance, and overall health. Other hormones, such as the ones that tell you when you're full, are switched on or off according to a variety of inputs.
The two greatest influences on how well your master clock is able to keep things in sync are light and food. Light tells your brain how much sleep you get (think: eyes closed, less light). Food (smell, taste, and consumption) tells your body to produce a myriad of chemicals. As a result, staying up late at night, working shifts, and eating at all hours of the day and night—whether voluntarily or due to the demands of overseas deployments, training demands, shift-work schedules, and even parenthood—can play havoc with your circadian rhythms.
In an interesting twist, not only do CRs influence hunger and body weight, but excess body fat and/or a high-fat diet may disrupt CRs. This can lead to further weight gain, culminating in a collection of health problems known as "metabolic syndrome." In the U.S., regular loss of sleep closely parallels the occurrence of metabolic syndrome. In addition, researchers have found that people who sleep less or have poor-quality sleep are more likely to become obese.
What to do? Make a conscious effort to "normalize" your daily routines as much as possible to maintain regular mealtimes. Whether you choose to eat three regular-sized meals or four to six smaller meals a day, space them out through the daylight hours to take advantage of your body's natural rhythms. Here are some suggestions to avoid eating late at night:
- Try to eat a balanced dinner at least two hours before you go to bed, and take a walk afterwards when possible.
- Sip on soothing herbal tea or flavored water (without sugar).
- Be aware that watching TV (especially food-related ads) can trigger your desire to eat.
- Sometimes it can help to create new nighttime rituals that don't involve eating, such as light stretching or yoga, taking a warm bath, listening to soothing music, or reading (or listening to) a book.
But if you find yourself up late at night—whether it's due to a hard day at work, regular shiftwork, or temporary shifts due to jet lag or an infant's night feedings—resist the urge to snack out of boredom or to "keep your energy up." Shift workers should pack or purchase a healthy meal to eat during their work hours—one that includes lean protein and complex carbohydrates such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Eat early in the shift if possible, so you'll have the energy you need to think and move efficiently. Travelers and parents should look for healthy snacks that follow a similar pattern. And try to limit coffee, tea, and other sources of caffeine to just two to four servings a day.
Of course, eating is just one half of the CR equation. Getting enough sleep is important too, so read HPRC's overview for great tips on how Warfighters can improve their sleep.

icenhauer's is in the unique and fortunate position of being located in one of Austin's hottest city neighborhoods. East of downtown's mayhem and just west of I-35's hipster hangouts, icenhauer's Rainey Street location is an ideal middle ground that draws a lively yet sophisticated crowd whose tastes range from craft beer to thoughtful cocktails. Under the guidance of owner Michael Icenhauer, the bar has established itself as the sophisticate of the block by focusing on its cocktail program and showing off a sleek, modern design. Although icenhauer's has separated itself from the pack with its cocktail program, the bar has found a balance in its nostalgic food specials like the chicken and waffles brunch, a perfect microcosm of the Rainey Street neighborhood.

World No. 10 Richard Gasquet defeated Nikolay Davydenko in the final of the Qatar Open in Doha.
The second-seeded Frenchman snatched an improbable 3-6, 7-6 (7-4), 6-3 victory over the unseeded Russian, who led by a set and a break of serve and seemed to be heading towards victory.
At that crucial stage Gasquet hung in without ever playing his best, and after Davydenko needed an injury time-out in the final set, Gasquet surged through to the eighth title of his career.
''This is a big success for me, and it was very tough,'' Gasquet said of the 2½-hour struggle.
''Nikolay was tired and I fought as much as I could. It was a good win against him because he plays so fast.''
Davydenko has slipped to No. 44 in the rankings.

Use of a
Scoring Rubric to Evaluate Student Responses to Warm Ups*
Kathy Marrs, IUPUI
Warm Up questions in N100 are
worth 6 points, and students are not graded for right
or wrong answers (6 points are given to all students
who respond on time to Warm Ups). However, in analyzing student
responses to warm ups for research purposes, I have found this
rubric to be helpful in determining any misconceptions a student
might have, how thoroughly the students were able to answer a
question, how much they used resources available to them, and
even how well a particular Warm Up question was constructed.
Scoring Rubric:
1 Student says he / she does not know how to answer the Warm Up question.
2 Student tries to answer the Warm Up question but shows minimal accurate previous knowledge to assist in answering. Student shows significant misconceptions about concepts. Student does not use any information from the text or lecture notes to answer the question. (Incorrect answer)
3 Student shows some accurate prior knowledge and may use correct terminology to answer the Warm Up question. Student does not use appropriate information from the text or lecture notes to answer the question. (May be partially correct but still incomplete).
4 Student answers the Warm Up question correctly and completely. Student incorporates information from the text or class notes into the answer. Student may look for answer outside the class (web, etc).

Intellectual Property Law
Intellectual Property Law Questions? Ask a Lawyer
what do you mean by "lined"?
not lined. leaned. A group of people have tried to steal this Patent from me and did not succeed. My fear is that they will try to lean my Patent and TM and make it hard for me to sell it. Can they do that?
Unfortunately, if it is your personal property then it may be subject to a lien, but a court would likely not allow a lien against the patent/TM if there was other property that could be more properly subject to the lien. If it was property of the Corp. (i.e. assigned to the Corp.) then a lien against you personally would not expose the patent/TM (they would be protected).
I assigned it to my first Corporation and when I saw it was being stolen I assigned the transfer back to myself and revoked the POA. This was before the Patent was Issued in Nov and DEC. Then I disolved the Corporation. It recorded with the Cal Sec of State on Jan 10,2013.
I see. FYI the patent can be assigned before the patent issues.
Then on Feb 22, 2013 they tried to assign my old Corporation to a new one. Then on Feb 28, they tried to assign my dissolved Corporation to another Corporation. Then on March 1,2013 the POA that I revoked tried to come back on as the POA to the Patent with a new Corporation. I revoked him as POA as the Assignee and I have a lawyer at the USPTO OED investigating this Registered Patent and TM lawyer. This group is who will try and do something. but it appears as though I might be safe with keeping the PAtent and TM in my name only. It has been assigned to me and the lawyer was revoked and recorded with the USPTO on May 24 and May 31 because I faxed in the revocation twice. I do not have any personal assets except this Patent and TM future possibilities.
It is likely safer in your name because it is unlikely that a creditor would know about or have an interest in putting a lien on IP rights, but if you really have no other personal assets then it could be at risk in the event of a creditor seeking a lien.
so it may be risky to keep it in your name unless you (1) expect to gain some assets or (2) don't except to have creditors / will be fixing your credit issues
What happens if I sell the Patent to someone else, is it subject to a lien after it is under new ownership? Woud it be safer if I assign it to my new Corporation that I set up this Jan.? By the way when I owned my dissolved Corporation I did not issue any stock. These creditors fell under the "family and friends' category and there was not any stock issued stamped. I plan on having this product gain some assets in the near future.
If you sold the patent then it would no longer be subject to a lien by your creditors.
Do you think they will stop the success if they try and lien it? Or do you think they have to wait until I get significant sales and then try and go after me. I do not have a problem repaying everyone but I first had to get this Patent and Tm in my name so I could do something with it.
One benefit of assigning it to your Corp. is that the Corp. assets are protected from your personal creditors.
So do I wait until I receive the original certificate and Grant and then do the transfer?
Should I send in the assignment before I receive the Certificate and Grant? Or will this hold up the paperwork at the USPTO? How does that work? I already asked for a copy and received it a few days ago. it shows me as the assignee and inventor.
you do not need to wait for the original cert. & grant
(it will not hold things up)
So if I transfer an assignment to my Corporation it will be protected against creditors coming after me personally for the personal debt that I have with them and the Patent and TM will be protected against a lien.
that's right, and I would recommend that
Sounds like I got my answer! Definitely will do that! Thank you very much!!!
sure, best of luck!
You rock!!!
