Andrew Ranville: No Island is a Man exhibition
Through December 14: Andrew Ranville: No Island is a Man
The DeVos Art Museum is presenting the first of an annual series of exhibitions in partnership with the newly established Rabbit Island artist in residence program. The 91-acre Island is located in Lake Superior off the Keweenaw Peninsula and has never been developed with the exception of a small log structure built by a fisherman in the 1800s. Though the island itself is privately owned, the Keweenaw Land Trust holds the vast majority of the island's development rights under conservation easement.
After spending over a month on the island last summer, Michigan born and London-based artist Andrew Ranville will return to Rabbit Island to become the first official artist in residence, creating work for the exhibition at the DeVos Art Museum. The exhibition will contain photography, video, sculpture and sound recordings made by Ranville, giving a feel for what it might be like to spend an extended period of time on the island.
A full-color, fully illustrated catalogue will be published in conjunction with the exhibition with essays by writer and curator Nadim Samman, artist Andrew Ranville, Rabbit Island residency founder Rob Gorski and DeVos Art Museum director and curator Melissa Matuscak. A limited edition artifact kit will be available containing the exhibition catalogue with field recordings and photographs from the island.

America the Beautiful
From the ancient serenity of the Catskills to the panoramic vistas of the Rocky Mountains, from the majesty of Niagara Falls to the rugged beauty of Southwestern deserts, our country's natural grandeur has provided constant artistic inspiration. Enjoy this exciting armchair tour of the beauty and variety of America's wild and cultivated landscapes!
View the same area in different time periods and media. Painter Alvan Fisher and photographer John Pfahl both depict the Niagara Falls area, but their works stand in sharp contrast. Fisher, a member of the Hudson River School, painted the majesty and roar of the falls, while Pfahl photographed contemporary industry there.
Alvan Fisher
John Pfahl
Changes of season and their manifestations in the landscape have inspired John Henry Twachtman, Rockwell Kent, Wolf Kahn, and Milton Avery. Norman Lewis uses landscape painting as a vehicle for social commentary.
Modern landscapes by Hans Hofmann and Alma Thomas (shown here) reflect changes in artistic expression and techniques in the twentieth century. Meanwhile, contemporary artists Mark Toby and David Hansen express concern for environmental degradation and loss.
Geography, history, ecology, and art combine to present U.S. landscapes in their pristine majesty as well as their contemporary fragility.

Daria Werbowy for Maiyet SS12
Cass Bird shoots Daria and a swan on an historical airfield.
Daria Werbowy: she of Canadian heritage and doe-eyed appeal, has cropped up as the star of Maiyet's SS12 campaign. The shoot took place at Brooklyn's historic Floyd Bennett Field and was directed by photographer Cass Bird, who also got behind the lens for Urban Outfitters March catalogue and recently signed copies of her new book. No arbitrary location, Floyd Bennett was the site of the first East-to-West Coast airplane flight in the US, with the shoot taking place on the milestone's hundredth anniversary. Check out the behind-the-scenes video (also directed by Cass) from the shoot below, along with images from the campaign.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Ohio State University will pay $268,000 and replace its medical lab director as part of a settlement with federal health authorities over the mishandling of test samples at the university's medical center clinical lab, the university announced Wednesday
The university will also conduct additional training for lab personnel as part of the settlement, which allows the university to continue to own, operate and manage its laboratories without interruption and keep its federal certification. As a result, the university can continue to receive Medicare payments for services.
At issue were quality control samples the government says were improperly sent from the university's clinical lab to other hospital laboratories, including the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, in violation of university and federal policies that prohibit samples from being analyzed elsewhere.
The tracking involved dummy samples and no patients were affected, the university said. Ohio State, which reported the mistake to the government, said the mishandling was an accident and won't happen again.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said for months that it was proceeding with sanctions that would have included loss of the lab's certification and a ban on receiving Medicare payments. The government reiterated its position in a Dec. 11 administrative court filing calling for sanctions against the university.
The university told the government in June that such sanctions would have dire consequences for patients and doctors throughout central Ohio.
Dr. Daniel Sedmak, a professor of pathology and long-time Ohio State doctor, was named the lab's new medical director. He replaces former director Dr. Amy Gewirtz, who will continue her work at the medical center.
The settlement allows the hospital lab's work to continue, said Larry Anstine, CEO of the Ohio State University Hospital.
"Last year the labs performed more than nine million tests and many of those tests are unique and not widely available at other testing facilities," Anstine said in a statement Wednesday. "We are grateful to CMS for its willingness to work toward a resolution that best meets the needs of our patients and the community."
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services declined to comment.

An ACT administrative tribunal finds it difficult to believe the territory's planning office was unaware retail giant Woolworths is trading in breach of its lease at Bonner.
Having established there was a breach of the Crown lease purpose clause, in that the supermarket exceeded the permissible 1500 square metres by about 140 square metres, the tribunal has decided not to take any more action.
IGA operators Chris Haridemos of Kaleen and Alex Vizadis of Evatt pointed out the breach, saying it gives Woolworths a larger trading area than other operators who complied with their leases and, if not fixed, would give them an unfair advantage. Neighbouring supermarkets are angry no further action is proposed.
The Civil and Administrative Tribunal's presiding member Don McMichael said given the present state of flux and uncertainty about supermarket sizes in the ACT, there was no significant planning purpose to take the matter further.
He said Woolworths could be forgiven for making a wrong assumption over the allowable floor space, because of the lack of clarity in a clause of the lease.
Forde supermarket owner Matthew Farrah said Woolworths at Bonner had a huge impact on his operations which could put him out of business. ''I can't understand why ACTPLA would undermine their own lease hold system. Surely there needs to be some sort of investigation into this?''
The tribunal was not persuaded Bonner's supermarket would have an adverse impact on nearby supermarkets at Forde or Amaroo.
Canberra developer Nikias Properties built the shops to conform with Woolworths' design brief.
Dr McMichael said evidence showed that throughout its negotiations with first Mr Nikias and then the Bonner Shops Pty Ltd, Woolworths was seeking 1900 square metres of floor space, comprising 1500 square metres for the supermarket, 200 square metres for the liquor store and 200 square metres for offices. ''And at no stage does there appear to have been any indication from [ACTPLA] that the intention of the Crown lease was to require all of these requirements to fit into the 1500 square metres limit imposed on supermarket use.''
In a separate case dealing with a similar issue earlier this year, IGA operators from Canberra's north challenged in the Supreme Court Planning Minister Simon Corbell's approval of Giralang's supermarket.
Nikias Properties developed the site for Woolworths and the IGA operators said it was too big. However, they lost.
In July, Supreme Court Justice John Burns found Mr Corbell had acted lawfully.
The IGA operators have appealed.
In the administrative tribunal case, Dr McMichael said no regard was given to a release Mr Corbell issued in August before the recent ACT elections, saying the Labor government would cap the size of future supermarkets in local centres to 1000 square metres.
Mr Corbell said since self-government, no controls had been exercised on supermarkets' gross floor area and a cap would ensure a retail hierarchy was maintained, and communities would continue to have local shops.
Meanwhile, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission is reviewing Woolworths' proposed acquisition of the Supa IGA supermarket in Hawker.

Statement by Ambassador Wittig in the Security Council on the Peacebuilding Commission Report
Presentation of the Report of the Peacebuilding Commission on its Fourth Session
(check against delivery)
Mr. President,
On behalf of the members of the Peacebuilding Commission, I am pleased to present the report of the Commission on its fourth session.
Strengthening the peacebuilding agenda, enhancing its impact in the field and providing continued support to the peacebuilding efforts in Burundi, the Central African Republic, Guinea-Bissau and Sierra Leone were at the core of the Commission's work in 2010. In September 2010, the Commission made Liberia the fifth country on the agenda responding to a request from the Security Council on behalf of the Government of Liberia. Most recently, the Commission responded to the request for advice and accompaniment from the Republic of Guinea. This was the first time that such a request was directly submitted to the Commission.
2010 was a year where "peacebuilding" and the future role of the United Nations Peacebuilding Architecture were very prominently discussed within and outside the United Nations. The review, which was ably guided by the Permanent Representatives of Ireland, Mexico and South Africa, offered an opportunity to appreciate the potentials of and the challenges facing the Commission.
The momentum generated by the 2010 review must be maintained especially as the Commission further expands its agenda.
Mr. President,
The report of the Peacebuilding Commission reflects a collective effort by the members of its Organizational Committee. Progress has been made in addressing emerging recommendations from the 2010 review, in particular in connection with the creation of a new PBC Country Specific Configuration on Liberia. The report also reflects the Commission's plans to take forward the recommendations from the review in a way which would facilitate the annual reporting to the General Assembly and the Security Council. The Commission is proceeding in this direction on the basis of a "Roadmap of actions in 2011". It focuses on meeting practical objectives and making concrete progress in enhancing the Commission's impact on national capacity development, resource mobilization and aligning key actors behind common peacebuilding objectives.
Mr. President,
Allow me to highlight a few elements from the report:
First, the report underscores the thematic focus of the Commission during its fourth session around "Partnership for Peacebuilding". In view of the complexity of peacebuilding challenges and the multiplicity of actors, the need for coherence and partnerships can not be overemphasized. Building and strengthening "partnerships" with relevant actors has been identified as a key area of potential value added for the Commission. In this regard, the Organizational Committee devoted the majority of its efforts and time to engaging the International Financial Institutions (IFIs), especially the World Bank, and regional organizations, especially the African Union.
Generally, the Chairperson and Vice-Chairpersons focused on joining up with a range of potential partners from civil society and the academia on discussions which aimed at further deepening the awareness and knowledge of the Commission's role and activities.
Second, the Commission has particularly prioritized the need for strengthening the interaction with - and its advisory role vis-à-vis- the principal organs of the United Nations. It worked towards generating interest in its work and activities across the membership of the General Assembly, the Security Council and the Economic and Social Council. During the reporting period, the Commission witnessed a growing openness from and encouraging signs of interest on the part of the Security Council and the Economic and Social Council.
The important thematic debates convened by the Security Council between February 2010 and February 2011 offered recurring opportunities for the PBC, the United Nations' membership and senior leadership to engage with the Council around critical peacebuilding-related policies. The participation of the World Bank in a number of these debates also confirmed the evolving partnership with the Bank at a time when it is further developing its approach in assisting countries emerging from conflict. Briefings by the Chairs of the country configurations contributed to the discussions of the Council at its periodic considerations of the situations of and mandates involving the countries on the Commission's agenda. Most recently, the Council has engaged the chairs in informal dialogues on certain country situations. The outcomes of the thematic debates and the deepening of the engagement of the chairs of the PBC's country configurations marked an important step towards more serious consideration by the Council of the Commission's advisory role.
I would like to advocate for an enhanced interaction between the Commission and the Council.
The 2010 review has particularly highlighted the potentials for developing a dynamic linkage between the Commission and the Council. Eleven out of the fifteen members of the Security Council are currently members of the PBC. The joint membership offers a natural interface which would facilitate the Council's drawing more actively and regularly on the Commission's advice.
The Commission could provide early peacebuilding perspectives in the design and review of or transition from peacekeeping mandates. It could identify and promote country-specific sustainability factors. It could catalyze early partnerships with the international financial institutions. And it could benchmark for and monitor the progression from stabilization to transition and consolidation.
The reporting period also witnessed the continuing development of the Commission's relationship with ECOSOC through the established briefing made by the PBC Chairperson to the 2010 substantive session. In addition, the ECOSOC and the PBC jointly organized a special event on the "Millennium Development Goals in Countries Emerging from Conflict". The event testified to the Commission's growing advocacy role for an integrated approach to peacebuilding, including through well-deserved focus on the socio-economic dimension of peacebuilding.
Going forward, the Commission looks forward to further deepen its linkages with the General Assembly. There is a clear need to bring to bear the Assembly's perspective on key thematic issues, of both political and socio-economic nature, under consideration in the Commission.
Third, the Commission continues to receive direct and substantive support from the Peacebuilding Support Office. Notwithstanding its stretched capacity, the Office has also been an essential linkage between the Commission and the operational entities within and outside the UN system.
The Office has also continued to provide regular briefings on the activities and operations of the Peacebuilding Fund. These briefings contributed to deepening the understanding of the synergy between the Commission and the Fund in the countries on the Commission's agenda. The recently introduced interaction with the Fund's Advisory Group has provided the Commission with an opportunity to address a number of broad policy issues for the Fund.
The Fund's resources, combined with the efforts of the Commission, helped to ensure that the countries on the Commission's agenda benefit from the sustained attention and support of the international community, with 64% of total Fund's contributions being allocated to these countries.
Mr. President,
By linking up the Peacebuilding Commission's work to that of peacekeeping, development and political actors in the field, the Commission has added considerable value.
The challenge facing the Commission in demonstrating its full potentials, however, is to ensure that its work is backed by a higher level of political commitment from the Member States and the Senior United Nations leadership.
As noted by the Co-Facilitators of the 2010 review report, "the Review should be a wake-up call to strengthen the collective resolve to deal with peacebuilding in a more comprehensive and determined way".
I hope that today's debate, like the debate which the General Assembly convened earlier in the week, will take us a step further towards realizing the full potentials of the Commission, as an advisory body which is uniquely positioned to help the United Nations meet the challenges facing our collective capacity to deliver on the promises to respond to the needs to millions of peoples in the countries emerging from conflict.
Thank you, Mr. President.

What's Old is New Again
Original glass furnace reconstructed as a working replica to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Toledo Studio Glass Workshops.
Fifty years to the day after the first glass furnace fired up at the Toledo Museum of Art (TMA), three artists-in-residence recreated it—brick by brick—to reflect the spirit of early pioneers of the American Studio Glass Movement.
"Today, we take the glass furnace and studio for granted," said Jeff Mack, glass studio manager, TMA. "You can walk into a studio with only a bag of your favorite tools and start making glass. In the early days, you needed a few more things because, if you wanted to make glass, the first matter of business was usually to build a furnace."
The Toledo Workshop Revisited Residency took place March 22-31, mirroring Harvey Littleton and Dominick Labino's original workshop that happened between March 23 and April 1 of 1962. Artists Kim Harty, Amber Cowan and Matthew Szösz began the residency with the construction of the furnace, as part of TMA's Guest Artist Pavilion Project (GAPP), co-sponsored by The Robert M. Minkoff Foundation.
The rebuilt furnace operated beside one of TMA's new state-of-the-art Wet Dog furnaces, which arrived at the museum shrink-wrapped on a pallet with no assembly required. Mack calls it a literal illustration of how far the studio movement has progressed with furnace technology over the past 50 years. "We have really come a long way, and the growth, development and specializations that have evolved are a testament to the evolution of the studio glass movement," he said.
"This project revisits the early struggles that had great impact on the appearance of the works made at that time, both in terms of materials and technology," said Jutta Page, curator of glass and decorative arts, TMA. "It's exciting to see the past brought to life as a visual symbol of how glass has flourished as an art medium and the collections it inspires."
"The foundation approached the Toledo Museum of Art with the idea of rebuilding the furnace because we wanted to focus attention on the institution's important role as the birthplace of studio glass," said Robert Minkoff, managing trustee, the Robert M. Minkoff Foundation. "We were looking for a novel way to give a new generation of artists who may not have been aware of all the history a sense of the challenges faced by the founders. It is our hope that this residency will offer each of the three artists the opportunity to create significant work that relates to the spirit of exploration and daring that defined the first Toledo workshop."
Since there are no known renderings of the first furnace, replicating the design was a challenge in itself. Extensive research was needed to recreate it, relying heavily on interviews and photographs taken at the 1962 workshops.
"Most of the basic materials are pretty much the same today: insulating firebrick, standard firebrick, a burner block, a Johnson burner and some steel elements to hold it all together," Mack said. The key difference is that this furnace will have a flame sensor on the burner for safety.
The original 1962 furnace wasn't used again after the first workshop; rather, it was reconfigured and modified for the second workshop, which took place in June that year.
"The studio furnace began evolving from the moment it was built," said Mack. "Artists build the furnaces to meet their individual needs. But today, because of the proliferation of the studio glass movement, there are now companies wholly devoted to building furnaces and glass studio equipment. Artists can now focus on their craft because someone else is focusing on creating the perfect furnace."
The rebuilt furnace will be used exclusively by the artists-in-residence to work molten glass. It's a tool, but also a starting point for their work while at TMA. Each artist was chosen because of the conceptual quality and inquisitive nature of his or her work.
"The Minkoff Foundation wanted to connect a new generation of artists who directly experiment with glass with the pioneers of studio glass," said Andrew Page, director of the Minkoff Foundation. "Amber, Kim and Matthew submitted proposals that reflect thoughtful responses to the history of the 1962 workshops, with an excitement about the potential for glass and a fascination with the material. Each in their own way, these three artists embody the ethos of the first workshop exceptionally well. It is a unique opportunity to celebrate the history and the future of glass at the same time."
"These young artists can look back at 50 years of intense development of art in glass, and it will be exciting to see how they approach these early experimental technologies with a fresh viewpoint," said Jutta Page. "It will forever change the way they approach their craft."

BOSTON, Oct. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Rhythm announced today the results of two Phase 1 clinical trials of RM-131, the company's novel ghrelin agonist for the treatment of diabetic gastroparesis, which demonstrated that RM-131 greatly accelerates gastric emptying in healthy subjects with good tolerability. The findings were presented at the American College of Gastroenterology 2012 Annual Scientific Meeting (ACG 2012) in Las Vegas on October 22, 2012. In addition, Rhythm announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track review status to RM-131 for the treatment of diabetic gastroparesis.
The presentation at ACG 2012 highlights RM-131's strong prokinetic activity in both single- and multiple-dose studies and its potential as a pan-gastrointestinal (GI) prokinetic for the treatment of upper and lower GI functional disorders, including diabetic gastroparesis. Clinical highlights include:
"These studies demonstrate substantial prokinetic effects of RM-131 on both gastric emptying and lower GI transit," said Lee M. Kaplan, MD, PhD, Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, Director of the Obesity, Metabolism, & Nutrition Institute at the Massachusetts General Hospital, and an author on the study. "Defects in gastric emptying underlie several functional GI disorders, including gastroparesis. Our treatment options for these common and debilitating diseases are currently very limited."
These clinical results are reported from two Phase 1 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies in healthy volunteers that evaluated the pharmacodynamic profile of RM-131: A single ascending dose (SAD) study that evaluated doses of 3 to 2,400 mcg administered once daily by subcutaneous injection, and a multiple ascending dose (MAD) study of doses from 10 to 300 mcg administered subcutaneously once or twice daily for 14 days. The two trials also assessed safety and tolerability.
Rhythm recently completed a Phase 1b clinical trial with RM-131 in patients with Type 2 diabetes that also demonstrated a potent prokinetic effect, reducing gastric emptying time by 66% after a single subcutaneous administration, with the greatest improvement observed in patients with the most abnormal gastric emptying. Together, these three Phase 1 studies provide the foundation for the company's ongoing Phase 2 clinical program.
"We are pleased with the positive Phase 1 studies for RM-131, and we also greatly appreciate receiving the Fast Track designation for diabetic gastroparesis," said Keith Gottesdiener, MD, CEO of Rhythm. "We look forward to continuing to work closely with the FDA as we advance the ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial of RM-131 for this disease."
About RM-131RM-131 is a small-peptide analog of ghrelin, a hormone produced in the stomach that stimulates gastrointestinal activity. Derived from the natural ghrelin sequence, RM-131 has been optimized to stimulate gastrointestinal motility, with greater potency and enhanced stability and pharmacokinetics.
About Gastroparesis Gastroparesis affects a significant number of the 24 million diabetics in the U.S., with a prevalence of delayed gastric emptying of up to 30% among Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics. Gastroparesis symptoms include chronic nausea, vomiting, and malnutrition and results in a significant rate of hospitalization. This condition also often undermines measures to manage hyperglycemia.
About Rhythm (www.rhythmtx.com)Rhythm is a biotechnology company developing peptide therapeutics that address unmet needs in metabolic diseases. Rhythm is developing the ghrelin peptide agonist, RM-131, for the treatment of diabetic gastroparesis and other GI functional disorders, and the MC4R peptide agonist, RM-493, for obesity and diabetes. Rhythm investors include MPM Capital, New Enterprise Associates, Third Rock Ventures, and Ipsen. The company is based in Boston, Massachusetts.

Thanks to everyone who came to our talk at SXSWi last week. For anyone interested, you can find our slides and our speech below (we talk fast, so there's plenty of it!) and please check out #sxbattle on Twitter to follow the commentary on the day. As the hashtag suggests, we pitched the benefits of two alternate futures as a battle, along the way inviting the audience to vote for the one they thought most likely to become a reality. We had a lot of fun doing it, thanks again to everyone who joined us.
[slideshare id=12037668&doc=skynetvsmadmax-battleforthefuturesxsw2012sxbattle-120316125442-phpapp02]
Let's start by stating the obvious, a disclaimer if you will.
We're not really here to talk about Skynet and Mad Max. They're both works of fiction, each film set after an apocalyptic event. We thought about trying to re-title this talk – "how an apocalypse might affect your business…" but we settled for this disclaimer instead.
They're just an analogy. One we'd like to use to tell a story. Everyone in this room is a storyteller, it's what we do. We tell stories to effect results. Here, it's fair to say, both films paint insanely dystopian, radically different visions of the future, yet they are also classic narratives. Control vs chaos. A totalitarian state vs total anarchy. A closed network vs an open network. (more…)

Addison is a county in Vermont. It was formed in 1785 from Rutland county. Land records are available from 1774–1926 (county only). For more information, contact the county at 7 Mahady Ct., Middlebury 05753. On the attached map, Addison is located at D3. Presently includes all the towns in Addison County. The town of Orwell became part of Addison District in 1847 from Fair Haven District. Between 1824 and 1962 the northern part of the county constituted the New Haven District. Those records were filed separately but are now located at Addison County Courthouse as well as an index to them and to all remaining records from Addison after 1852. On 25 February 1852 a fire in the courthouse burned the probate records for Addison district (not New Haven). Only fragments remain for Addison Probate District records before 1852. They are available on microfilm in Montpelier, in chronological order, but are extremely difficult to use.

DENVER—On the eve of his team's home opener, Colorado Rockies owner Dick Monfort stepped into the role of tour guide as he showed off more than $6 million in renovations at Coors Field.
Strolling around the stadium, Monfort proudly pointed out revamped suites, a sustainable garden out back that features fresh herbs and vegetables, a new restaurant/bar called "The Press Club," seats behind home plate with more leg room and a play area for kids who are more interested in fun than the actual game.
As for the upgrades on the field, well, those have been a little more modest. The Rockies didn't make much noise in the offseason, which is why many pundits have predicted the Rockies will finish near the bottom of the NL West this season.
Monfort understands the skepticism, especially after losing a franchise-worst 98 games in 2012.
"We've got to get better," said Monfort, whose team will send Jeff Francis to the mound in the home opener on Friday afternoon to face Jason Marquis and the San Diego Padres. "We're just as disappointed and embarrassed as anybody with our record last year and the year before that.
"We can have the nicest guys in the world, the most talented guys in the world. But at the end of the day, you've got to win."
So far, the Rockies are on the right track, taking two of three from the Brewers in Milwaukee. The lineup was as potent as advertised, too, as they scored 20 runs and pounded out 41 hits.
Even more, Jhoulys Chacin, Jorge De La Rosa and Juan Nicasio—a trio of injured starters the Rockies are relying on heavily to return to health—were all solid.
"If we can keep doing those things, we're going to win our share of games," said Monfort, who saw home attendance drop to 2.63 million last season, the lowest figure since 2007. "We've got a lot of talent but we've got to keep working it."
Asked what he considered a fruitful season, Monfort didn't even hesitate: "Success is a world championship to us.
"Now, we understand we can't win it every year. But our plan and everything we do is to try to do that," Monfort added. "That's our goal. Along that line, we need to be good corporate citizens and have a fan friendly place where anybody that wants to come to the ball park can come to the ball park."
Hence, the upgrades.
Monfort sauntered all over the park like a proud parent, explaining the makeovers in detail:
— Suites that feature an island kitchen to foster a more social atmosphere ("Aren't they nice looking?" he said).
— A ground-level party suite in right field with a perfect view of Michael Cuddyer or another right fielder ("I had them add shuffleboard," Monfort explained).
— A play area called "Dinger's Dugout" so parents can entertain young kids.
— A garden in the back featuring chives, rosemary, scallions, tomatoes and peppers that will be used in one of the stadium's kitchens.
— The backstop being moved up six feet so that fans will have more walking room in the premium seats behind home plate ("Our park is a very pitcher friendly park—that's a joke by the way—and so we wanted to take some of the foul area out," Monfort said).
— A new restaurant/bar that cuts press row to roughly a third of its original size.
"If you don't keep these things up, all of a sudden, you have (a park) that can't compete or isn't a friendly place," Monfort said. "You have to get something new. Part of it is to keep up and part of it is to enhance the experience for the fans."
Now, it's up to the team because upgrades may get fans to the park, but winning keeps them coming back.
"I've told people that I was more surprised than anybody that we lost 98 games," Monfort said. "We didn't change a lot of the people, so we'll just see."
In the series finale at Milwaukee, Monfort didn't even stay in his seat for the ninth inning. He was just too nervous.
"I usually leave my seat and go up to the concourse. I can see the game but I'm walking," he said. "Even with a four-run lead, I was walking the concourse."
Francis knows the feeling. He's already a case of nerves as he draws the start in front of the home fans against Marquis, a former Rockies hurler.
"I'm trying to treat it like another game," Francis said.
"I say try to treat it that way," he said, grinning. "It's exciting, the crowds are full. We want to show everybody what kind of team we have."
Todd Helton couldn't agree more, in what just may be his final home opener.
"Everybody is a little more on edge," Helton said. "The crowd is going to be into it. It's going to be a full house. Hopefully, we go out and give them a good show and give them a reason to come back."

SANTA ANA – Jessica Uriostegui would normally make her children fatty foods and sugary drinks to get them to eat until her family became involved with Dr. Patricia Ronald Riba's Health Club in Santa Ana.
"I would mix water with apple juice, because I thought they would not like it, but it was just in my mind," said Uriostegui of Santa Ana.
After learning more about proper nutrition through the club, she said her family has never been happier. She now packs turkey hot dogs on wheat buns, cucumbers, watermelon and nectarines for lunch.
Uriostegui was watching her son and husband compete in Saturday's "Dodging Obesity" dodgeball tournament, which raised funds for Dr. Riba's Health Club. The second annual dodgeball tournament at the Santa Ana Family YMCA saw seven teams compete.
Riba's center deals with more than 3,000 nutrition and weight management cases like the Uriosteguis' a year. Riba, a pediatrician who specializes in nutrition in children up to 5 years old, said she focuses mainly on low income families.
She has been running her health club since 2002, and moved to Santa Ana Family YMCA in 2011. Riba said she is raising funds to help families afford her care, and for more space since she is already running out of room at her office.
The club offers outreach programs to teach nutrition at local preschools, an after-school exercise program, and low-income nutritional health services.
Riba said she expected to raise $4,000 from the event for her nonprofit organization, which she said operates on $900,000 annually.
About 150 people were at the tournament, which included food, a silent auction and raffle prizes. The players competed in two categories: beginner's level, "Don't Hurt Me," and the advanced level, "Watch Your Head."
Roselia Gomez, 35, of Santa Ana had her children Amariss Martinez, 5, and Emmanuel Martinez, 3, start in Riba's program in late 2012 after realizing they had nowhere to play near where they live. Gomez said her children enjoyed the program so much they wanted to be there most of the time.
She said they also learned how to eat better through the program, which offers nutrition tips and cooking recipes the family can try at home.
"They used to drink a lot of chocolate milk, and eat cup noodles almost every day," Gomez said. "Little by little, I got them to avoid eating cookies and milk for breakfast. Before they would eat a lot of outside food, like pizza and hamburgers. Now, we avoid taking them."

CRICKET Australia's board has emphatically endorsed the architects of its contentious rotation-based selection policy, Pat Howard and John Inverarity, but conceded the public explanation of the policy has been flawed.
Chief selector Inverarity and general manager of team performance Howard made a routine presentation at CA's board meeting on Monday. They were joined by Rod Marsh, the part-time selector who is also the manager of elite coaching development.
CA chairman Wally Edwards said the board he leads ''unequivocally supports the strategy and endorses the high-performance team, led by Pat Howard, as it works to implement the Argus strategy to build sustained success for Australian cricket over the long term''. Edwards noted that since the high-performance team's formation in late 2011 Australia had won 10 of 15 Tests and lifted its ranking from fifth to third.
Edwards was also satisfied with the team's performance over the past year, which has included Test series wins against the West Indies and Sri Lanka, a loss to South Africa and failed limited-overs campaigns in England and in Sri Lanka for the World Twenty20.
''I think we've done extremely well. We were very unlucky against South Africa, the best side in the world … we were unlucky not to at least draw that series and could've easily won it I think, so I'm very pleased with the way we're going,'' he said.
''To build a new cricket side is a long-term thing. You don't do it overnight, it's not that easy. I'm confident we're on the right track.''
Edwards said he believed CA's team hierarchy was ''undoubtedly'' right to have embraced rotation, despite the adverse reaction to it from the public and former greats such as Shane Warne.
''You only have to look at elite world sport [to know] top performances can't be had by people playing every day of the week every week of the year, and with three formats of the game and a very compacted world schedule of cricket now it's just not possible for people to perform at their absolute best every day of the year,'' Edwards said.
''We also noted the importance of ensuring communication on selection and workload management with fans and the media is as transparent and as consistent as can be.''
Edwards said it was a ''fact'' that CA executives ''haven't communicated as well as we could've'' regarding team selection.
''Certainly we didn't go into this with a great media plan to sell the idea of developing more cricketers, and more cricketers being available to play for Australia. If there's a weakness in what we've done that's it,'' he said.
CA chief executive James Sutherland said he was pleased with the board's renewed endorsement of its implementation of the Argus review recommendations, 18 months into the planned four-year window for all of the review's goals to be achieved.
Asked about current areas of weakness for the national team Sutherland cited inconsistent top-order batting and a lack of spin-bowling depth, but was confident both would be remedied.
Sutherland also said his weekend meeting with Shane Warne over the champion leg-spinner's fierce public criticism of CA had been productive. He flagged ''opportunities down the track'' for Warne to join the CA coaching panel as a mentor, like legendary paceman Dennis Lillee did last week.
''It was good to have a chat, a good robust discussion with him and clear [the air]. There's no doubt about his passion and enthusiasm for Australian cricket and the Australian cricket team to be successful,'' Sutherland said.
''Hopefully there are opportunities down the track for him to be closer to us and have an even greater involvement. We've recently announced Dennis Lillee being involved with our fast bowlers and one of the things we'd love to see is Shane having a closer link with our spin bowlers, as he has in the past. He's got a very busy schedule but to have the two greats of Australian cricket bowling involved in our programs would be fantastic.''
Sutherland also insisted that CA was ''not at all fazed'' it had yet to finalise a new television rights agreement for its domestic and international matches, ahead of the respective Channel Nine and Fox Sports deals lapsing at the end of the season.

In 1975, a different subway horror, with a different ending
On "The Brian Lehrer Show" this morning, a woman called in to tell a story of another subway horror, one with a happy ending.
Her uncle, Everett Sanderson, was given a medal by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority for an amazing act of heroism in early 1975, on the local uptown platform of the 86th Street station at Lexington Avenue. She told a brief version of the tale, and I found myself wanting to find out more.
Story Continued Below
There's actually very little to be found about him. There's an old New York Times clip, a stub of an article detailing how a year later he was awarded the Carnegie Medal for Heroism, and $1,000, for his act.
And on a website where people just paste in stories they find elsewhere, there's an old article by Warren R. Young, and a shorter version of it in the Sarasota Herald Tribune. The latter appears to have been syndicated by Reader's Digest, and the web instructs me that his story was collected in a 50th anniversary anthology by the magazine.
Young's story is incredible, though the person who pasted it in to the website Tripod seems to have strange ideas about capitalization. He tells it beautifully if you can get past that, here. But here's a guide.
First, you have Joanna DeJesus, her right eye bandaged from a recent operation, with her sister Margarita Esquilin and four-year-old daughter, Michelle, who made their way through the turnstile and walked to the edge of the platform.
There, waiting for the train, was 34-year-old Sanderson, an unemployed musician headed home from a visit with his mother.
Also on the platform was 20-year-old Miguel Maisonet, a young black man who recently had lost his job with the city as a rat inspector in a round of cutbacks.
Arriving shortly thereafter was transit patrolman Rex Johnson, and, conducting a train that was just pulling out of 77th Street on its way to the station was motorman Daniel Miller.
Then, suddenly, Michelle's hand slipped from her mother's grasp as she went to the edge of the platform to look for the train, and before anyone knew what was happening someone was screaming "There's a girl on the tracks!"
Sanderson and Maisonet were 85 feet apart from each other on the crowded rush-hour platform, and both sprang to action.
Witnesses estimated to Young that 15 seconds elapsed before anyone did anything, but some, at least, were roused by the distant rumble of the approaching subway.
Sanderson, leaving his son with his ex-wife, leapt down to the tracks and started running the 35 feet toward the girl. An accomplished football and basketball player, Sanderson was in good shape for a job like this.
So, too, was Maisonet, who had the added advantage of having played daring games with friends growing up in which they leapt down onto the tracks and ran to the opposite platform. He know what to do down there.
But he was further down the tracks than Sanderson, and saw that he wouldn't get there first.
"With an easy vault perfected by years of boyhood practice," Young wrote, "Miguel swung his body up onto the platform."
Unfortunately this was not a skill Sanderson had.
The train started to rumble into the station, and even using the emergency brake, the motorman, Miller, would have been unable to stop the train before it ran over the two.
"On the platform, Miguel was also in the path of the train, kneeling and leaning over the edge toward Everett with outstretched arms," Young writes. "With three seconds to go, Everett seized Michelle in his right hand and, possessed of a strength he never knew he had, hurled her into Miguel's waiting arms. The impact knocked Miguel onto his back, with the child sprawled on his chest, safe at last."
And now, for that vault.
The train was now down to 16 miles per hour, but it was only 40 feet away now. From Young's account:
Everett placed his hands on the edge of the platform, jumped for his life-and failed. By now, there was a single second left before the train would pass the spot where he was. Everett got ready for one last, desperate jump. Then, with the train so close that its mammoth bulk seemed virtually on top of him, he felt himself rising like an elevator. Hands belonging to Officer Johnson, Michelle's aunt Margarita, and Miguel were lifting him by the jacket and his arms. Everett hoped that his torso would clear the Train, but he felt sure his legs would be amputated.
As the train passed, Motorman Miller lost sight of Everett. With a sinking feeling, he thought the first car must have caught Everett's legs and pulled him under. But he was puzzled by the absence of the familiar, sickening thud he always heard when a Train passed over the body of a suicide. For more than three seconds, the train kept skidding, Finally, it stopped, 26 feet beyond where Everett and Michelle had been. Miller stepped out on the platform to see what had happened.
A pile of human figures on the platform were struggling to their feet. The three rescuers had tugged so mightily on Everett that some of them fell-with Everett, unharmed, landing among them. (Later, he would find a mark made by the train on the edge of his right shoe.) For the next few minutes, while Motorman Miller and Officer Johnson made sure of the happy outcome, the crowd patted Everett on the back and kept telling him he was a Hero. At last, everybody went on about his business-Miguel went home in a taxi, Mrs. DeJesus took another cab to the hospital to make sure Michelle was not really hurt, Officer Johnson resumed his beat, and Motorman Miller announced that the train would continue its regular run. Everett Sanderson got on the train, too, and rode it to his stop.
In addition to the awards and acclamation, Sanderson got a lifetime of free rides on the subway, and Maisonet got the same, for five years.
And the jobless Maisonet got a job with the M.T.A.
Sanderson had this to say:

>Cross Training>Weight & exercise entries
Does anyone know how I can enter my weight and exercise sessions so that I can have graphs for reps and sets, and not just the entire session duration? Right now, I can only figure out a graph to show how long my entire exercise session lasted, but I'd like to have a graph, or sets of graphs, to show I did X sets of X reps, the types of lifts I did, the amount of weight lifted, etc.
Any help or direction is appreciated, and thanks!
an amazing likeness
I realize this doesn't help you in any way, and I do hope someone has some suggestions -- but...keep in mind this is a running log.
I've done my best to live the right way. I get up every morning and go to work each day. (for now)
Well, true. But the RunningAHEAD website has specific weight training entries. I thought someone out there may have figured out some specifics to how to make those entries.

honestly, I havent found any good online weight training logs.

You might try JEFIT. On-line and Android app are very good for weight training. Not so good for running.
I wouldn't be surprised if RA soon became the best weight training log.
Well at least someone here is making relevance to the subject. - S.J.
I wouldn't be surprised if RA soon became the best weight training log.
I'm out for running until further notice. I either have degenerative arthritis in my big toe, a dislocate toe or both. Podiatrist appt on Thur
ANYWHO - I thought since I'm not going to be logging runs for who knows how long, I was searching for an online workout log. Found a few but honestly, I prefer RA's to the rest. Active has an online log and it was annoying me within minutes and just couldn't deal with it.
I simply updated my training log here and now it's just what I need.
I use JEFIT for its Android app, which is not ideal, but I haven't found anything better. The online site is just awful, though... very awkward to use.

im sure you have found it by now but there is a section in the training log were you can record your weight routines and whatnot. its pretty straight forward as far as filling it out.
good luck
I think you should visit some weight related website which can be of some help to you.
I have lifted for years and kept logs at several sites. Most have a workout forum and workouts get posted just like topics on these forums. I think your best bet if you want to keep all your info on one site, is to type your workout into the notes section of an Event entry or Fitness entry.
I too do a lot of weight training.
As for now I haven't been able to find anything better than RA. Well, there is one from Runnersworld that seems to be quite good, but it costs a damn lot and as long as you aren't an elite or a trainer I don't see the need for so much. And the difference in cost vs features and useability is huge.
The only thing that i miss regarding RA's weight training is the ability to create workout types in the same way you create them for running so that you could have (for instance) a core workout, upper body workout... etc...
But the truth is that the my aim (and I guess the aim of most of us) is to focus on running and while I do a lot of changes to my strength workouts. I mean that I am both serious and consistent but not so systematic as I am with running.
There is also the danger of an excessive success of the weight training feature. Nothing against bodybuilders, it's my second favourite sport, but if the site becomes too good as a weight training log this may be detrimental to runners... and I guess that this is far from what the webmasters want as they created the site as a service to the runner community and not as an universal fitness site.
Well, anyway: The weight logs are quite good as they are. I sometimes use them but most of the time rely on a whiteboard on the wall of my gym room. As I am now using the abbreviated method with only a few exercises (Squats, dead lifts, bench presses, curls) it is not difficult to track the whole thing and when I feel like doing something different I just log a general weights entry and that's it.
Almost the same with biking, I just want to keep track of the mileage because I found myself having some symptoms of overtraining.
"If one can stick to the training throughout the many long years, then will power is no longer a problem. It's raining? That doesn't matter. I am tired? That's besides the point. It's simply that I just have to."Emil Zatopek
The only thing that i miss regarding RA's weight training is the ability to create workout types in the same way you create them for running so that you could have (for instance) a core workout, upper body workout... etc...
I do NO weight training so I may be missing the point here but I am able to create all other different workout types for wights (as you can for running)
Like this Workout
Is that what you meant, or something else?
2013 Goals1) Break 1:50 in a HM (PR 1:52:19)2) Break 4:00 in a Marathon (PR 4:20:39)
I do NO weight training so I may be missing the point here but I am able to create all other different workout types for wights (as you can for running)
Like this Workout
Is that what you meant, or something else?
nope, i meant something different.
i was talking about being able to have several colour coded copies of the activity light in running. imagine being able to make a workout like the one you showed and store it so that you could drag and drop it into a training plan just like you can do with your fartleks, long runs, etc...
But again, it's good enough the Way it is.
Which training log is this?
I don't do any weight training so I don't know what is useful. If you have suggestions on how to make it more useful, please let me know as I am redesigning the workout editor.

NASA: Meteor slams into Moon, causes explosion visible to naked eye on Earth
May 18, 2013
SPACE – A massive explosion from a meteor which crashed into the Moon was visible to the naked eye on Earth, NASA says. A boulder-sized meteor slammed into the moon in March, causing an explosion so bright anyone looking up at the right moment would have spotted it, NASA said. NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office is reporting the discovery of the brightest impact seen on the Moon in the eight years the monitoring program has run the National Geographic reports. About 300 lunar impacts have been logged over the years but this latest impact, from March 17, is considered much, much brighter than anything else observed. It is understood the space rock left a 20m-wide crater after it slammed into the Moon's surface at 90,000km/h. "We have seen a couple of others in the 'wow' category but not this bright," said Robert Suggs, manager of NASA's Lunar Impact Monitoring Program at Marshall Spaceflight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. The blast lasted only about a single second and shone like a 4th magnitude star—making it bright enough to see with just the unaided eye. –Herald Sun

The QS TopMBA.com Applicant Survey 2012 asked for the opinions, backgrounds and aspirations of the MBA applicants who registered for the QS World MBA Tour in the fall of 2011 and spring of 2012. They got 4,538 responses, ranging from young people to experienced executives, and here are some of the results. The full survey can be found at http://www.topmba.com/qs-topmba-applicant-survey-2012
Salary (over)expectations: Despite economic volatility, the survey found salary expectations have reached record levels. Swiss MBA candidates have the highest post-MBA target of $200,000 (U.S.) a year. On average, those earning about $45,000 before their MBA, expect $133,000 after their MBA, up from $111,000 in 2011.
(tyler olson/Getty Images/iStockphoto)
Seeking escape: While many take an MBA to enhance their careers, some seek to escape it. The top sectors where only a minority of candidates are looking to return after their MBA, according to survey respondents, are: retail (2.9 per cent), technology (11.9 per cent), government (24 per cent) and education (29 per cent).
(Jupiterimages/Getty Images/Pixland)
Men seek tech, women want the goods Though the top two choices for both genders are consulting and banking, women tend to target consumer goods, media and advertising, government or the public sector, technology and education. Men, while also targeting technology, differ from women in looking at energy and manufacturing, according to survey respondents.
(Jupiterimages/Getty Images)
Aging classrooms: The average age of survey respondents has increased by 0.7 years to 28.3 years. Applicants from the Asia-Pacific region are the youngest, with a mean age of 27 years. Applicants from western Europe, Africa and the Middle East are the oldest, with a mean age of more than 29 years.
(Yuri Arcurs/Getty Images/Hemera)
Candidates' backgrounds: The Top 5 sectors supplying MBA applicants are finance, retail, consulting, telecommunications and engineering. More people with more than four years of work experience are interested in an MBA. Respondents to the survey showed there are fewer candidates with less than four years of work experience, especially in Europe and Latin America.
(nyul/Getty Images/iStockphoto)
Destination U.S. ... for now: The most popular places to study remain the United States and Britain, but English-speaking destinations, including Canada and Australia, are dropping in popularity. The U.S. was a target destination for 62.3 per cent of survey respondents, compared with 80 per cent of the applicants who responded to the survey in 2007. Some of the other top destinations are: Britain, at 40.0 per cent; France, at 20.4 per cent; Canada, at 17.6 per cent; Spain, at 15.3 per cent and Australia, at 15.2 per cent.

Children & Youth: Building tomorrow today
As young people mature, the decisions they make have an enormous impact on their families, their communities and our world. But growing up surrounded by poverty, war or in the aftermath of disaster increases their risks and limits their choices.
That's why giving children and youth the right support at this most critical time is essential to building tomorrow's strong, productive communities.
When disaster strikes, young children are especially vulnerable to developing emotional and social problems that can jeopardize their futures. Mercy Corps worked with experts to design our signature Comfort for Kids program that helps children process their trauma and recover through play, sports and art activities. See our expert's recommendations for how parents and caregivers can help children through times of crisis ▸
For adolescents faced with violence, early marriage and interruptions to schooling, we provide opportunities for community involvement, vocational training and life skills development. Our goal is to empower youth in the toughest places to make smart life choices and invest their energy in developing solutions to their countries' biggest challenges.

As many as half of Mongolia's 2.7m people rely either on mining or agriculture for a living. Even the most basic economics will tell you this is not an ideal situation, and unlikely to make for a stable and growing economy. They are particularly concerned about the potential for substantial mining revenues to destabilise the economy, a phenomenon known as 'Dutch disease'.
So, unlike their ancestors who sought to boost their wealth by raiding outside their own borders, the modern Mongolians have announced plans for a Mongol Sovereign Wealth Fund or Mongol Hoard.

Today when you go to a medical clinic or hospital, you'll see all the nurses wearing medical scrubs. Historically, nurses would be seen wearing starched white dresses and nursing caps. Now, you rarely see nursing caps and only a handful of places still require nurses to wear white.
There are mixed feelings on the change from starched dresses and caps to medical scrubs. Older patients who remember seeing the old uniforms sometimes feel a lack of professionalism is displayed with modern nursing scrubs. This is partly due to the lack of distinction between nurses, CNAs, technicians and occasionally even doctors since all scrubs are fairly generic in style. Certain clinics and hospitals do follow dress codes to try to help distinguish who is who. For example, a hospital may require nurses to wear only one color, CNAs another, technicians different colors based on their specialties and receptionists/office staff can wear any print scrub tops.
You may be wondering what happened to the old starched white dresses and nursing caps. White is notorious for staining easily so the white dress lost popularity due to the difficulty of keeping it clean. Nursing caps are another story entirely. They were found to be more dangerous in the clinic/hospital setting than any other part of the nursing uniform because of how much bacteria they collected. To help prevent the spread of sickness and infections, not to mention how difficult they were to keep pinned on top of your head properly, they were removed from the nurses' uniform. Both the white dress and the nursing cap where also phased out around the same time when more men joined the nursing profession.
White nursing dresses and even scrub skirts can still be found today. Marcus Uniforms offers a growing selection of both dresses and skirts. White scrubs are also available for those who prefer or are still required to wear white uniforms. These days, the dresses don't require starch and most whites are treated with a stain release option to help keep the whites bright longer.
Marcus Uniforms also has a great selection of solid scrubs, print scrub tops, solid scrub sets and scrub pants in a variety of colors and sizes. You can also find lab coats, shoes, socks and other medical accessories. Marcus Uniforms offers free UPS ground shipping within the continental United States on all orders over $100 in the United States and a 10% discount on all orders over $300.
