Nick Adenhart was one of the best pitching prospects in Major League Baseball, as of yesterday. Every scout drooled over this 22 year-old.
After an undefeated spring (pre-season exhibitions), he had earned his spot in the Angels' rotation.
In his debut last night, he pitched 6 scoreless innings. It's hard to imagine things going any better. It must have been the night of his life, how often does a lifelong dream really come true?...
And a few hours later he was killed, along with two of his friends, by a drunk driver.
The drunk driver is now being charged with triple manslaughter, felony DUI, and hit-and-run (he fled on foot). And he may be charged with murder, though I don't think it matters, he'll serve the rest of life behind bars either way. He is also exactly 22 years old.
I don't know why I typed this up, other than that it's been on my mind all day -- it's such a striking and tragic reminder of anicca and the consequences of being unmindful.
What a damned shame. What a damned completely-preventable shame.


text: Geno gets a do-over By Dave Hickman December 19, 2012 Story Share MORGANTOWN - When last Geno Smith encountered Syracuse and its defense, the results were not pretty.In fact, at no time has West Virginia's quarterback been successful against the Orange. In three years as the Mountaineers' starting quarterback, Syracuse is the only team Smith has faced more than once and not beaten.That Smith and the Mountaineers will get one last shot is rather ironic, of course. The teams meet Dec. 29at Yankee Stadium in the Pinstripe Bowl.Smith sees it not so much as irony, but as fate."I feel like it's almost God's funny way of putting things together,'' Smith said. "He's been doing that a lot for me lately.''Indeed, if there was any opponent Smith might like a do-over against, it is the Orange. Sure, there have been other low points during his career. That ugly five-game losing streak this season included a bunch of them. There were games in there - and others throughout the past three seasons - when teams seemed to have his number.But no team has repeatedly stymied Smith like Syracuse.As a sophomore in 2010, the Orange won 19-14 at Mountaineer Field, intercepting Smith three times, limiting him to 178 yards passing (despite the fact that his 37 attempts that day were his second-most all year) and sacked him five times. In the final minutes of that game, Smith methodically drove the Mountaineers to a second down at the SU 20 with a minute to play, then was sacked twice and hit as he threw incomplete to put the finishing touches on an awful afternoon. Then in 2011, it was even worse, if that's possible. Syracuse just blew up the Mountaineers, winning 49-23 at the Carrier Dome. It was an awful Syracuse team, too. The Orange had squeaked out close wins over powerhouses Wake Forest, Rhode Island, Toledo and Tulane (three in overtime and the other by a touchdown) and wouldn't win another game.Yet on that Friday night, the Orange sacked Smith four times and intercepted him twice. He did have 338 yards passing, but what did that matter?"I studied the film of that game all summer, figuring out ways to defeat that coverage,'' Smith said. "I knew that defensive coordinators would see how they did it and try to duplicate it or copycat it. I know exactly what they're doing. They may change some things up, maybe not. But I'll be prepared for their defense.''What the Orange did was blitz and mix coverages. Syracuse didn't just blitz, the Orange blitzed creatively. Coach Dana Holgorsen said that after studying the film, 17 of SU's first 18 blitzes were different. Holgorsen and his staff weren't around for that 2010 game, but were schooled in 2011. The biggest difference between then and now, though - or at least Smith, Holgorsen and everyone else concerned hopes is the case - is that last year at Syracuse was the seventh game in Holgorsen's system. The Pinstripe Bowl will be the 26th.And experience matters."Last year I think Syracuse caught us at a time when we really didn't expect that,'' Smith said. "That's not to say we weren't prepared, but they were doing some things that it would take a veteran in the offense, a group of guys who had been together for a while, to understand how to counterattack it and beat it. That's the luxury of us being here two years in the system now. Since that game we've grown tremendously. I think it's going to be a totally different ballgame. "We've seen other teams do things like that. Maryland tried to do it this year.''Of course, it's hard to say that mere experience in the offense will make a huge difference. That experience was there when the Mountaineers played Kansas State, too, and the Wildcats held Smith to 143 yards passing. Syracuse is no Kansas State, but still, it's obvious that the system itself and experience in it provides no guarantees of success.But facing the Orange for a third time certainly provides an opportunity to show what, if any, differences there are once everyone is on the same page."That [2011] loss wasn't so much a wakeup call as it was something that let us know that we had to be on the same page and that there were nuances within the offense that we didn't quite understand,'' Smith said. "Those things that we didn't know then, we know now."They like to blitz and pretty much attack the offense. But we have veterans and guys who have seen that a lot now. No one will be wide-eyed. We're expecting it and I'm pretty sure we'll be prepared for it.''It's also an opportunity - the last one - for Smith to show his future prospective employers in the NFL what kind of advancements he's made. "I think it will be a good way to show my progress over the years,'' Smith said. "It'll be a good way for NFL scouts and whoever is watching to examine me as a quarterback because they're going to do some things that are off the charts, that you don't see every day in college football. Those things, overloaded blitzes and mixing things up in coverage, those are things you see on Sunday.''Reach Dave Hickman at 304-348-1734 or email@example.com or follow him at Twitter.com/dphickman1.

The Ware Center to Present Dan Kamin in FUNNY BONES and COMEDY IN MOTION, 2/22-23
Dan Kamin has officially been recognized as one of the foremost authorities on Charlie Chaplin. He taught Robert Downey, Jr. his physical chops for his Oscar-nominated turn in the movie "Chaplin" and most recently was a "Chaplin consultant" with the La Jolla Playhouse production of the musical "Chaplin," which just finished a run on Broadway.
On Friday, February 22, 7:30 PM The Ware Center presents Dan Kamin's "Funny Bones: The Comedy of Charlie Chaplin". In this unique hybrid of entertainment and education, Kamin will deconstruct the work of the comic genius with film clips, live demonstrations of physical comedy, and lots of audience participation. The centerpiece of the evening will be a classic Chaplin short with live, original guitar accompaniment by Jordan Rast.
On Saturday, February 23, 11:00 AM The Ware Center's FAM FUN FEST series will also showcase Dan Kamin in "Comedy in Motion" - this program specifically is aimed at kids and their parents or caretakers. Kamin, who taught comedy mime moves to Johnny Depp (Benny and Joon), presents a performance of astonishing movement illusions, amazing sleight-of-hand magic and hilarious stories without words.
Both programs are suitable for audiences of all ages. The Saturday morning program will also feature Barry Kornhauser-created pre-show hands-on fun for the kids focusing specifically around "Comedy in Motion," a take-home play activity guide and light refreshments.
Ticket Information: These events are open to the public. Tickets for "Funny Bones" cost $8. Tickets for "Comedy in Motion" cost $8 and $4 for children under 10.

How to Find and Enjoy a Local Esperanto Club
There are well over 50 local Esperanto Clubs in the United States. A complete list organized by state can be found at the webpage Local Clubs. You may also be able find local Esperantists by googling for "Esperanto" and your town name.
Local clubs allow you to practice listening and speaking in a friendly, realistic environment. In addition to being fun, one of the great benefits of a club for a beginner is the ability to practice with and learn from experienced Esperanto speakers. You can also share learning materials and ideas. Other members may have Esperanto books and magazines, and seeing them could help you decide which you might like to own.
Typical club activites include formal presentations, group study and practice, planning events, playing games in Esperanto, and simply chatting about whatever in both English and Esperanto. Esperanto speakers tend to be highly-educated, friendly, interesting people, and many are quite talkative and enthusiastic.

Senate Lays the Groundwork for Fair Deficit Reduction
Jul 26, 2012
By Patrick Reimherr and Elizabeth Lower-Basch
On Wednesday, the Senate approved a one-year extension of the Bush-era tax cuts for those making under $250,000 a year -- 98 percent of all Americans. The passage of the Middle Class Tax Cut Act (S.3412) marks a significant step toward the principle of a balanced approach to deficit reduction, with new revenues as well as spending cuts. According to the Joint Committee on Taxation, the bill would save the U.S. nearly $1 trillion over 10 years.
The bill also preserves many improvements that have been made over the last decade to programs helping low- and middle-income Americans support their families. The bill maintains the Bush and Obama expansions of the Child Tax Credit that have made the credit available to low-income workers and pulled millions out of poverty. It also preserves the expansion of the Earned Income Tax Credit for those with three or more children. As recently highlighted by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, these programs successfully encourage work, while reducing poverty and improving child well-being. The bill also extends the American Opportunity Tax Credit, which helps make college more affordable.
In January, unless Congress agrees on an alternative approach to deficit reduction, numerous government programs will face large, indiscriminate, automatic funding cuts. If this happens, a range of programs from elementary education to those that support the most vulnerable Americans will all be cut without regard to their importance or effectiveness. What's more, these cuts will have a disproportionate effect on the lowest-income families, those that have already experienced the worst impacts of the economic downturn and for whom a middle-class existence is being pushed further and further out of reach.
By passing the Middle Class Tax Cut Act, the Senate rejected the idea that we should take a hatchet to programs we all value while not asking for one dollar from the top 2 percent of Americans. Instead, the Senate supported a balanced approach to deficit reduction—one that both raises revenue to a sustainable level and makes thoughtful choices about spending priorities. This is an important precedent policymakers should carry forward in the coming months.

Simply brilliant,
|reviewer: Eric from Melbourne Australia
|Yes, you have to like theatre to like this show. No, if you are there to see the TV stars do something familiar, or have an all-singing all-dancing special effects spectacular, you won't be happy. So that's fine, go see Cats again. Really: to those reviewers who didn't like this, I say: you didn't get it. Honestly, complaining about a lack of set changes...? Not all Broadway is Wicked you know. Rylance is one of the finest actors of his generation and here is in virtuoso form, and the others do a fine job of providing things for him to bounce off, the verse dialogue is ingenious and brilliantly delivered, and if I'd been in New York three more nights I would have seen it three more times. So: if you love theatre, rather than Broadway, you will love this play. If you want cheese and helicopters, there's always Miss Saigon.

Fiona Shackleton
Fiona Shackleton is one of the world's most famous lawyers, and has handled high-profile cases involving the divorces of Fergie and Prince Andrew, Prince Charles and Princess Di, Paul McCartney and Heather Mills, and most recently, Madonna and Guy Ritchie.
AppealOK, so her accent is pretty sexy. Er... and that's about it.
SuccessYou can't get much more popular as a divorce lawyer... Fiona Shackleton has handled some of the most famous and highly publicized divorces on the planet. And for that, we'd consider her pretty damn successful.
Fiona Shackleton BiographyFiona Charkham was born on May 26, 1956, in London, England. Her family co-owned Joseph Lyons and Co., a company that managed various food chains including numerous tea shops. After attending Benenden School in Kent, Fiona went on to Exeter University, where she did averagely well in law before changing concentrations and studying to become a certified cordon bleu chef. She became a corporate caterer before studying to become a lawyer (also called a solicitor), and she completed her studies in 1980.
It didn't take long for Fiona Shackleton to move up the ranks, and six years later, she was a partner with Farrer and Co., who were the royal solicitors. Her first major case involved the divorce of Sarah Ferguson from Prince Andrew. Lord Goodman was so impressed by the way Fiona Shackleton handled the case that he recommended her to Prince Charles when he was divorcing Princess Diana.
fiona shackleton works on the paul mccartney/heather mills caseAfter helping Princess Diana negotiate a £17 million settlement in her 1996 divorce case, Fiona Shackleton's next high-profile client was representing Beatles-great Paul McCartney in his divorce from Heather Mills while working as a partner with the firm Payne Hicks Beach. A settlement was reached in January 2007, when he ended up giving her £24.3 million (plus additional monthly fees for their daughter's care and schooling), however, given his worth, it was a lot less than some had speculated that he might have to pay (and apparently, Ms. Mills wasn't too happy about the decision, as she reacted by throwing a glass of water at Fiona Shackleton).
fiona shackleton works on the madonna/guy ritchie caseIn 2005, Fiona Shackleton became a Lieutenant of the Royal Victorian Order. Her next milestone case came in 2008, when it became public that Madonna and film director Guy Ritchie would divorce, and Madonna immediately hired Fiona Shackleton to represent her.
Fiona Shackleton is married to financial PR consultant Ian Shackleton, and they have two daughters together.

THIS will be a year of recovery in the M3-M27 property markets, as owners and occupiers take confidence in the recent economic upturn and the benign predictions for the next twelve months.
That is the optimistic opinion of according to Mark Clancy, a director of London Clancy – the Basingstoke firm of chartered surveyors specialising in commercial property consultancy.
Mark explained: "A dramatic turnaround in activity and values is not expected, but rather a steady improvement as the commercial property market in our region continues on an upward curve.
"The availability of debt and equity capital will increase as lenders and investors take a more positive view on the commercial property market and this in turn will continue to strengthen an increasingly buoyant investment market, driving yields down in most sectors, and providing long awaited hope for competitively priced secondary stock."
Mr Clancy said occupier demand is also improving as companies expand and consolidate, as illustrated by Parcelforce moving into 107,000 sq ft warehousing on West ham Industrial Estate, in Basingstoke,.
Other examples include BMW purchasing the former Nokia HQ of 305,000 sq ft at Farnborough, and NACCO centralising their office and warehouse operations in its new headquarters in Frimley.
"The improved demand is creating pressure on the availability of stock in some areas, particularly with the increasing number of office to residential conversions, and new developments being hindered by escalating construction costs, a lack of employment land allocations, planning obstacles and in the case of offices, historic low rental levels," said Mr Clancy.
But he said excessive business rates will also remain a significant issue for both commercial property owners and occupiers, not least through empty rates and despite the Chancellor's 'concessions' set out within last year's Autumn Statement.
"The cynical postponement of the 2015 Revaluation will prevent market realignment until 2017 at the earliest," said Mr Clancy.
"In 2014, we expect another strong performance from the industrial and warehouse property sector with the lack of modern stock putting pressure on Grade A rents to increase above the current levels of £9 per sq ft within the upper M3 corridor and £7.50 per sq ft in Southampton.
"The office market will show the first signs of tangible recovery for many years, driven by increased demand, and rents are likely to at last see some improvement across both primary and secondary stock and particularly closer to London.
"Grade A headline rents should start to move upward from the current levels of between £17 - £20 per sq ft by the end of the year.
"There are signs that 2014 may be a more stable year for town centre retailing as take up, particularly within secondary locations, starts to improve.
"At the same time, the retail warehousing market should benefit from improved housing market conditions."
He said confidence in out-of-town retailing will be sustained as well, as with Dunelm and Lidl taking a total of 35,500 sq ft at Gastons Wood, in Basingstoke, and with the recent re-opening of the Whiteley Shopping Centre.
"The investment market within our region will reflect ongoing strong demand for prime opportunities and increasing interest in secondary space with conversion, refurbishment or alternative use potential placing upward pressure on values," said Mr Clancy.
"This will be a year when the commercial property market in our region is re-galvanised, as investors and occupiers take advantage of the improved economic conditions and the great value that remains on offer. It will be a year for genuine optimism and as ever taking the right specialist regional property advice."

PSY's new single steals attention away from North Korea
Fri, 12 Apr 2013 13:04:11 GMT —
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) " South Korean pop star PSY's first new single since his viral hit "Gangnam Style" is stealing attention from inter-Korean tensions.
YG Entertainment, PSY's agency, says "Gentleman" was released in 119 countries on Friday.
PSY co-composed the electronic dance music and wrote the lyrics for the song, which pokes fun at a self-claimed gentleman who enjoys his time at a dance club.
Tensions in South Korea are high, with residents wary of a possible missile test by the North. But South Korean Internet users were more interested Friday in PSY's new song than North Korea: "Gentleman" was the most searched keyword on top Web portals.
PSY's manager Hwang Kyu-wan says the video for "Gentleman" will be unveiled at his comeback concert in Seoul on Sunday and will then be uploaded onto YouTube.Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.

Apparently sharing the Mission Trail Athletic League title wasn't in the playbook for the Carmel boys basketball team.
The regular-season league champions used a big fourth quarter Friday to secure the league title outright, knocking off Pacific Grove 39-30 in the tournament title game.
For the Padres, it marked their third straight MTAL boys basketball title and third time they had beaten Pacific Grove this season.
Both teams will be seeded on Sunday in the Central Coast Section Division IV playoffs in San Jose. Carmel could earn a first-round bye.
Last year the Padres reached the CCS Division IV quarterfinals before falling to Palma.
Sophomore Connor Marden, who led all scorers with 13 points, had six in the fourth quarter as the Padres turned a one-point lead into an nine-point cushion.
The Padres (18-8, 13-2), who needed double overtime on Thursday to beat King City and advance into the title game, held an 8-5 lead after one.
Both teams struggled from the field for the first three quarters as Pacific Grove (13-13, 10-4) tied the game at the half at 19 before Carmel took a 28-27 lead into the final quarter.
Pacific Grove, which won the MTAL title four years ago, came into the game having won five straight league games, with its last loss being a 39-38 decision to Carmel.
It had advanced to the tournament finals by knocking off Greenfield on Thursday.
Freshman John Stivers, who led the Padres in scoring this year, finished with seven points while Thomas Spanos tallied six.
Luke Lowell led Pacific Grove with eight points while Jordan Borne added six.

Getting a civil engineer job.

How did you get your start doing civil engineer work, and what career moves did you make to get to your current position?
Do you need a particular educational background?
John in Spring Hill, Florida
129 months ago
You need at least a bachelor's degree to be a civil engineer, as this is the minimum educational requirement to qualify to take the examination to be professionally registered.
In contrast to the other engineering disciplines, in civil engineering it is imperative that one become registered as a professional engineer to advance. Essentially all the work that civil engineers do has to be signed and sealed by a registered professional engineer before governmental regulatory agencies will permit the work to be built. The rationale offered is that the work of civil engineers has the potential to impact the lives of thousands if fails catastrophically, so it is in the public interest for the government to regulate the profession im the same way it regulates the practice of medicine and law.
Civil engineering is a very broad field - many civil engineers work supervising construction to make sure that roads, bridges, and etc are built according to the plans and specifications. At the other end of the continuum are engineers who spend their days in front of computers doing complex simulations of civil works.
I graduated during a recession and couldn't find a job as an engineer, so I took as a construction inspector with the government. A few months later I was promoted and was managing major road and bridge projects.
I found being a construction supervisor boring and tedious though, so I took another job in geotechnial engineering designing and testing bridge foundations. Now I spend my time about equally between going out to construction sites, and working in the office.
I'd recommend that to young engineers that they not overlook the construction aspect of their professional development. Without an understanding of how things get built in the field, and the practical limitations this imposes on design, it's hard to be a good designer.

I am currently midway through my sophomore year of civil engineering classes. I have been loking for an internship for the summer and have a couple of decent leads, but nothing is certain yet. If I don't secure an internship with an engineering firm, would experience in a summer construction job be helpful to me when I look for work after I graduate? (I already have a little unoffical construction experience - I remodeled my own house, built a two-story school building with my father, grew up on a farm with outbuildings in need of constant maintenance and modifications.)

(I already have a little unoffical construction experience - I remodeled my own house, built a two-story school building with my father, grew up on a farm with outbuildings in need of constant maintenance and modifications.)
Yes, but derive maximum advantage from your summer construction work experience it should be as closely related to the field you plan to work in when you graduate. Example: You want to be a bridge designer, you go work as a laborer, or better yet a concrete technician, or office engineer on a bridge construction project. (office engineers, in spite of their titles are just non-degreeed bean counters who keep track of the material used on the job. This, by the way, is a fairly significant aspect of the construction of any large project), or you want to be a highway designer. You get a job for the summer with a survey crew laying out centelines and offsets for highway projects. You get the idea.
You already have a lot more construction experience than the average graduate I see. I once had one point to a crane on a construction site and ask me what that piece of equipment was.
But, and this is part of the reason for recommending the experience this summer, working with a bunch of contractors on a multimillion dollar project is not like working with your father to build a two story school building.
Contractors are businessmen and graduates of the college of hard knocks. They can be challenging to work with at times if you haven't interned for a little while there yourself. You summer experience should give you enough of an introduction to significantly advance your practical education.
Howie Appel in Lake Mary, Florida

I totally agree. Employers today want interns who have had exposure to some form of engineering. My managers would rather hire someone who has worked in a civil engineering role than hire someone with fast food or totally unrelated experience. It shows dedication to the field and the initiative to learn by doing. Hope that helps. Howie

If you are planning to take the FE, you will need to have your course work evaluated by one of the acceptable evaluating companies by the Texas board of professional engineers. You will get all the information from the Board's website. The procedure, fees and everything is out there. But the exam is conducted twice in a year, October and April. You are probably late for the October exam.

By the way, you will need to get your documents evaluated only if you studied your undergrad somewhere overseas. As far as the time it takes to get ready for the exam, it depends on your situation. If you've been out of school for a while it may take a bit longer but if u just got out of college a month or so will be enough. All you have to do is buy a book published by NCEES and study it. Its pretty easy .. but it include biology, chemistry, physics and some other Discipline specific questions. You can find the details from the website below.
Good luck.

Hi, I'll be graduating from AUB (American University of Beirut) next summer. What will I have to do to be applicable to work in US as I used to live there but have been out of the country for about 5 years now? Also, is it true that if I work a few years outside the US (in the gulf) that I will be considered having zero experience when I apply for work (in the US)??? Thanks

Hi dear sir/madam
Spencer in Jakarta, Indonesia
62 months ago
I'm an American General Contractor/Project Manager based in Bali, Indonesia. I have experience with new construction and renovations (mostly residential and some commercial) and want to study Civil Engineering. My goal is to take the P.E. exam.
I already have a bachelors degree in Philosophy and school has always been easy for me, but I am dreading the 4 years required for the Civil Engineering degree as I'm already 36.
Is it possible to take achieve the title of Civil Engineer (either in the US or Australia) without the 4 year degree? If not, would a university allow me to fast-track my degree by taking only the engineering courses as I already have a bachelors in philosophy etc.?
Any insights anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated.

Giants crack in 11th after Belt clubs tying HR
SAN FRANCISCO -- In typical Giants fashion, the reigning World Series champions overcame a four-run deficit and nearly completed another come-from-behind victory Tuesday night.
But in an atypical development, the Giants' pitching and defense, typically their biggest assets, betrayed them in an 11th-inning breakdown that gave the D-backs two runs and a 6-4 victory. The decision ended the Giants' seven-game AT&T Park winning streak.
San Francisco trailed, 4-0, after three innings and appeared destined for a one-sided defeat. But after Brandon Crawford's eighth-inning triple sparked a two-run uprising, Brandon Belt launched a pinch-hit, two-run homer in the ninth off Arizona closer J.J. Putz to force extra innings.
This was the same Belt who delivered Monday night's game-winning single in the ninth inning.
"I feel like I've seen the ball well in the past couple of days. That's helped me stay calm in those situations," said Belt, who stayed in the game at first base and added an 11th-inning single.
But the Giants lapsed defensively, committing a season-high three errors that generated a pair of unearned runs. Crawford's game-opening misplay of Gerardo Parra's grounder helped Arizona score twice in the first inning. That was bookended by Belt's 11th-inning error that precipitated the D-backs' winning rally.
With the score tied at 4, Arizona inched ahead against Giants right-hander Santiago Casilla. Didi Gregorius doubled with one out on a softly hit ball that left fielder Andres Torres approached tentatively.
"He was probably a little too conservative," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.
Gregorius advanced as third baseman Pablo Sandoval fielded pinch-hitter Alfredo Marte's ground ball and made a one-hop throw that Belt couldn't hold. Casilla unleashed a wild pitch that scored Gregorius before Parra's double delivered Marte.
The usually sure-handed Belt blamed himself for dropping Sandoval's throw.
"It's one of those things that I might have taken for granted," he said. "It's definitely my fault. It stayed up on me and I didn't watch it into the glove."
The Giants had a chance to win it in the 10th, but Sandoval was thrown out at home plate trying to score from second base on Hunter Pence's two-out single.
Bochy defended third-base coach Tim Flannery's decision to send Sandoval and test right fielder Cody Ross' arm.
"You get a two-out hit, you're trying to score," Bochy said. "Ross charged it well, threw a bullet home and [Sandoval] was out. That's part of the game. They're going to have to make good plays. We got the hit we were looking for; they had to make a great throw."
Arizona catcher Miguel Montero sensed that he would receive a quality throw from any of the outfielders.
"I knew if we gave up a single right there, it would have been a play at the plate and a good chance to get him out," Montero said. "I know if they get a hit, it would have to be in the gap for him to score, because all three of those guys can throw the ball good."
Paul Goldschmidt contributed a two-run, third-inning homer and drove in three runs to help Arizona build its early lead against Giants right-hander Matt Cain, who's winless in five April starts. Goldschmidt owns a .309 career batting average against San Francisco with seven home runs and 23 RBIs. He's particularly effective at AT&T Park, where he's hitting .350 with five homers and 17 RBIs.
Cain lasted six innings, surrrendering four runs (three earned) and five hits while walking one and striking out six. After shaving his ERA from 7.15 to 6.59, he said he "felt better" but lamented his early-inning shortcomings.
"I'm putting the guys in a hole," he said.
D-backs left-hander Patrick Corbin, who retired the first nine batters he faced and 12 of 13, blanked San Francisco on three hits through seven innings. Then the Giants began their characteristic surge, collecting nine hits in the final four innings.
"This is what we've done the last couple of years," Cain said. "We might not come back, but we felt like we had a chance."

Professional Photographers Find Massively Successful New Careers Helping Amateurs Be Better Photographers
from the don't-sit-and-whine dept
At first glance, David Hobby looks like just another casualty of the decline of print media: A longtime staff photographer for the Baltimore Sun, he was one of many employees who accepted a buyout in 2008 as part of broad staff reductions at the distressed newspaper.Those two photographers totally have the right attitude. Rather than looking at the changing market and crying about how they can't make money the way they used to, they both see these changes as an opportunity, which is allowing them to do quite well, from the sound of things. The attitude that McNally has is really perfect:
Yet last month he embarked on a sold-out, cross-country tour that will visit 29 cities. Approximately $1 million in tickets have been sold for the privilege of hearing Hobby and famed magazine photographer Joe McNally speak about their craft. Hobby's blog, Strobist, on which he teaches amateurs the lighting techniques used by professionals, welcomed 2 million unique visitors last year.
McNally doesn't see anything demeaning in sharing his insights with thousands of amateurs; rather, he says he's come to enjoy teaching. "If you encounter passion, you have to counter it with your own passion," he says. "Even if, at the end of the day, you feel they're not going to go out the next day and climb the Empire State Building."Those two paragraphs could certainly apply to almost all of the various industries we talk about here. You can fight change, or you can realize how change often opens up a much larger market, and you can take the same passion you have directly into that new market.
That sentiment is alien to the old guard in the professional photography world, where, Hobby says, "there's a lot of information-hoarding, and [a sense that] if I teach this person how to do this, he'll become my competition." Once the dust settles from all the change he's helped bring about, Hobby thinks there will still be legitimate careers for professional photographers. "You'll have fewer rock stars, and a much larger middle class," he says, a group of photographers who will find ways to distinguish themselves from the rest of the pack.

"There are three reasons for breastfeeding: the milk is always at the right temperature; it comes in attractive containers; and the cat can't get it."

The Art of Midwifery
Breastfeeding newborns, like the evolutionary process of vaginal birth, is about bacteria. The breast milk of a human mother, like other mammalian mothers, is species-specific, having been adapted over eons to deliver specific and sufficient nutrition to guarantee proper growth, health, and immunity development. Researchers have long known that breastfed babies possess an intestinal flora that is measurably different than formula-fed infants. Of specific interest is a group of bacteria known as bifidobacterium. Some of you may immediately recognize the name, as they are often added to dairy-based foods such as yogurt, often advertised as "live cultures" on the packaging. These are probiotics.
Studies have shown that at one month of age, both breastfed and formula-fed infants possess bifidobacterium, but population densities in bottle-fed infants is one-tenth that of breastfed infants. The presence of a healthy and robust population of bifidobacterium throughout the first year or two of life contributes significantly to the child's resistance to infection and overall development of defense systems—not to mention the physical development of the intestinal system in general. Aside from the substances secreted by these specific bacteria that are known to inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria, they also work to make the intestinal environment of the infant more acidic, creating an additional barrier against invading pathogens. In short, breastfed babies are sick less, are less fussy, have fewer and shorter duration of bouts of diarrhea, and have more frequent—and softer—bowel movements.

A comparison of 227 babies who were breastfed for their first 13 weeks or more with 267 who were formula-fed (from birth) found that the breastfed babies had fewer hospital admissions, significantly less gastrointestinal illness, and a smaller reduction in respiratory illness. This result was the same even when supplements were introduced before 13 weeks, and lasted beyond the time of breastfeeding. Breastfeeding for less than 13 weeks resulted in a rate of gastrointestinal illness similar to that found in bottle-fed infants.

Impact of Cesareans on Breastfeeding
One of the earliest family relationships we see strained by a cesarean is that of the mother and baby.
Jennifer Block says, "The most common reason why babies are not put to the breast within the first hour is the cesarean section; and cesarean babies are more likely to be given milk substitutes in the nursery while the mother is recovering."
Mothers who have cesareans are less likely to breastfeed, for many reasons. Often mother and baby are separated, which means a delay in getting baby to breast. The mom is dealing with pain, fatigue, possibly stress, and even trauma. The incision itself causes the mom difficulty in finding a comfortable position in which to nurse. The baby may have respiratory issues.
Let's look beyond that to see how this disruption of the breastfeeding relationship may affect the family. The State of the World's Mothers report asserts that "Immediate breastfeeding is one of the most effective interventions for newborn survival." I submit that, rather than an intervention, breastfeeding is the normal biological extension of pregnancy and childbirth. It also provides many advantages to mom and baby.
Breastfeeding provides the baby with good immune system protection, gut protection, protection against obesity and short- and long-term disease protection. Breastfeeding also helps the mom. Her uterus returns to normal size more quickly after birth if she breastfeeds. She is less likely to experience postpartum depression. She is less likely to have brittle bones later in life.
Studies indicate that women need two years (over a lifetime) of breastfeeding to lower their risk of ovarian cancer. Every six months of breastfeeding cuts down a woman's breast cancer risk. She also is more likely to space her children in a physically healthy way. Without the norm of breastfeeding, the mother is clearly at long- and short-term risk.
There is more at stake here than what the baby has to eat today or how she gets it. Whether a mom breastfeeds her baby—or not—can affect the lifelong health of both.
Midwives can inform moms and work with local hospitals to encourage them to become baby-friendly establishments that encourage and actively work to get baby to breast within the first hour of life, regardless of what mode of delivery is used.

Question of the Week Responses
Q: My 21-year-old daughter has been advised to have a LEEP (loop electrosurgical excision procedure) for moderate dysplasia due to HPV. I know this may leave scarring on the cervix or possibly pose a small risk of preterm labor when she becomes pregnant. My midwife said she would be put on a preterm labor protocol. What experiences have midwives had with this situation?
Have you seen cervical scarring or preterm labor after a LEEP? Does scarring lead to slower dilation or "stalls" in dilation? Does she have any alternatives for treatment other than the LEEP? What is your advice regarding pregnancy? Would this preclude her from using a midwife?
— Michelle
A: After my first daughter was born in 1999 I was diagnosed (about 2000 or 2001) with extreme cervical dysplasia. My GP got me in to see a gynecologist very quickly, who recommended that the LEEP be performed as promptly as possible. I chose to not go that route right away despite pressure from both doctors. I chose to be treated by a traditional Chinese doctor with acupuncture and herbs. One of the first questions she asked me in regard to my condition was if I had ever experienced sexual abuse. Well, um, err, actually, yes, but had never mentioned it to anyone before this particular appointment.
I can't remember exactly why but I chose to switch to a different traditional Chinese doctor who, in turn, asked me the same question. I then recalled a completely different and separate abusive scenario. Somewhere along this healing path I also recalled a third, again separate (involving a different person), scenario. I also connected with a very progressive cancer clinic in Vancouver.
My medical doctor there recommended, based on my history, that I get a second opinion from a female oncologist/gynecologist. Getting in to see her took much less time than my GP led me to believe it would. My GP had also suggested holotropic breath work in regards to other things going on in my life at the time. It was about one or two years after my first visit to the gynecologist who recommended the LEEP when I finally met with the female gyno for a second opinion. In that time I had made some shifts in my diet, did holotropic breath work, had many TCM visits, worked with my homeopath, made some changes in my career path and cried a lot. Oh, yeah! …and worked and was mom to my pre-schooler. The second opinion was that a LEEP was far too extreme a treatment for what she could see. She recommended laser treatment. I went with that. I had the laser treatment in December 2002 or 2003—can't quite remember! It was a very brief procedure. My PAP tests since then continue to come back [normal]. In December 2006 I gave birth at home, in the water, to my second daughter. If anything, she arrived a week or so later than I thought she would although the quick 2.5 hours barely gave my husband and midwife enough time to set up and fill the pool before she was born. It was a beautiful, perfect, and loving family experience.
I was about 37 yrs old when first diagnosed. I am now getting very close to 46. There is no one recipe for healing. Your daughter must follow her heart courageously and listen to and observe her body without fear. Everybody's journey is different.
I am not a midwife. I have done some doula training but really my passion and livelihood is movement. Movement through dance, yoga, Pilates, hand-drumming, craniosacral rhythms. I have had the honour of witnessing in so many ways the amazing healing powers that we all possess.
May your journey and your daughter's journey be filled with joy!
— Odette
A: Regarding the options of treatment for HPV, the surgeon should have offered a conservative watch-and-wait approach as well as the LEEP. Your daughter could get more frequent pap smears and/or colposcopies to watch for worsening cervical diagnosis. She should, of course, optimize her diet, exercise, QUIT SMOKING and take multivitamins. Many times if the immune system is enhanced, the body can fight off the virus without losing a big piece of cervix!
— Shari
A: My daughter had the same situation as your daughter—she had a LEEP followed by three deliveries. The first was 12 hours and the next two were much faster. I had scarring on my cervix from a cervical procedure years ago. Later I had a 24-hour labor followed by a much faster one. I don't think you'll know until your daughter has delivered how it will affect labor, but it seems it was a necessary procedure. I'd focus instead on the fact that she and her partner are well prepared for their birth and are practicing the techniques they were taught.
— Linda B. Jenkins, RN
A: I have seen at least one occasion in which a mom had trouble with stalls in dilation after a LEEP. She stalled twice, which she had not done in previous births. After hours at the same dilation, I did a little gentle manual dilation during a pelvic exam. Then she continued to dilate until she stalled a second time. Effacement was complete each time. For some reason it was different than normal stalls in labor, although she was able to deliver at home.

Think about It
CDC Breastfeeding Advice regarding H1N1 Influenza (Swine Flu)
Infants who are not breastfeeding are particularly vulnerable to infection and hospitalization for severe respiratory illness. Women who deliver should be encouraged to initiate breastfeeding early and feed frequently. Ideally, babies should receive most of their nutrition from breast milk. Eliminate unnecessary formula supplementation, so the infant can receive as much maternal antibodies as possible.
If a woman is ill, she should continue breastfeeding and increase feeding frequency. If maternal illness prevents safe feeding at the breast, but she can still pump, encourage her to do so. The risk for novel influenza A (H1N1) transmission through breast milk is unknown. However, reports of viremia with seasonal influenza infection are rare.
Expressed milk should be used for infants too ill to feed at the breast. In certain situations, infants may be able to use donor human milk from a HMBANA-certified milk bank [see http://www.hmbana.org/].
Antiviral medication treatment or prophylaxis is not a contraindication for breastfeeding.
Giving Birth is a powerful life event; for survivors of sexual and other abuse it can be an opportunity for healing and transformation. If you are a survivor, please consider submitting your birth story; how it offered healing, transformation, ecstasy, etc.; and the way you prepared or planned for your birth. Your story will be considered for our upcoming book and for our Web site to help others prepare by reading positive birth stories. Please visit http://tinyurl.com/okgzz4 to submit your story.

Dear Friends: We are in a very difficult moment in Brazil. Our Rio de Janeiro Birth Center (Casa de Parto David Capistrano Filho) was closed down today. The authorities found a state law that prohibits a health institution from existing without doctors! We know it's political: new persons in the government and big pressure for our local doctors. We have the support of the Brazilian government but we know that in this case we will never know what might happen.
We are pretty sure that it's time to call for the help of our friends outside Brazil. We need e-mails against this attitude. We need to show the power of our movement to make birth a physiological process in a c-section country.
We are organizing to go to the streets and tell them that we want our Birth Center back!
If you want more details about this wonderful birth center go to: www.casadeparto.kit.net
Please send e-mails to support the Casa de Parto David Capistrano Filho, RJ, to: email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com, with a copy to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thank you so much. We are sure that if we work hard and well, in the end we will be stronger than we are now.

Carly Rae Jepsen Performs Telephone Booth Mashup at 2012 American Music Awards
Carly Rae Jepsen performed a mashup of 'This Kiss' and 'Call Me Maybe' at the 2012 American Music Awards tonight (Nov. 18).
We intuited that CRJ would sing 'Call Me Maybe,' not just because it's her biggest hit and a defining song of 2012, but because she descended to the stage in a pink, French-style telephone booth to sing her new single 'This Kiss.' With three phone booths as stage props, it seemed like a foregone conclusion that she would sneak in a little 'Call Me Maybe.' How could she not?
For the first half of the performance, which was 'This Kiss,' there were Warholian lips of all different shapes, sizes, colors and designs flashing on split screens behind her and her backup dancers.
Jepsen was utterly adobs in a short white dress paired with a white blazer, black booties and pearls. She was bubbly and cute.
But being the crowd pleaser that she is, she ended up splitting 'This Kiss' with 'Call Me Maybe,' so it was a mashup of her new single with her hit that was perhaps the biggest song of the summer of 2012.
She engaged the crowd to sing along with her, which they did. R&B star Brandy and actress Ginnifer Goodwin were dancing in their seats! And CRJ's frothy, fizzy, confectionary style and her sweet smile also had us grooving on our couches at home.

Smashbox Eye Shadow Reviews
SurprisingNormally I not too keen on Smashbox, but I like this shadow. I have it is Oyster which is a sheer shimmery by subtle gold and it's what it's exactly what I've been looking for. It stays on surprisingly well too. — 6 years, 4 months agovolta | 566 reviews

LoveGood range of colors, stays on, pigmentation is very nice and goes on smooth. Really great eyeshadows. — 6 years, 9 months agohleeee | 210 reviews
Smashbox SinglesI've been using Smashbox eye shadow for as long as I can remember. I love the trios and the quads, but I'm also a big fan of the singles since occasionally those are the colors that are my regular go-to shades. I've got about eight or nine of these and each one performs just as well as any eye shadow in the same price range or in a lower price bracket. As long as you use a good primer, these colors should work really well for you once you find ones you're happy with. — 4 years, 7 months agoMissPoison | 249 reviews
BriiliantThis eye shadow is very pigmented. I normally use it for work. If you are going to use this, make sure that you dust off the excess. It can apply heavy if you don't dust off the excess. You also don't need too much on the brush since it is heavily pigmented. As for what one of the reviewers says about flakes, this doesn't happen if you tap off the excess. Truly one of the better eye shadows....read more If you do want something is a friendlier on your wallet, try the NYX. It can give you the same pigmentation for a lot less. — 5 years, 10 months agosweettpea29 | 280 reviews

Flakes Flakes FlakesThis eyeshadow pales to Nars, Lorac and Benefit! It's overpriced for a shadow that flakes like mad. I returned them after particles got into my eyes. I even used lid primers, and it still flaked. They need to mill their power few more times and add more binders to make this finer and creamier! — 9 years, 5 months agoMakeupGuru | 444 reviews

Good but flakyPigmented, silky texture, wide color selection. Has a tendency to flake off, especially when used as an eyeliner. — 6 years, 3 months agoPsy1ocke | 155 reviews
Cinnamon ToastHands down my favorite brand for eye shadows is Smashbox, and my favorite color is Cinnamon Toast (a light brown with a hint of a bronze shimmer) . I use it basically everyday, as a light color in my crease for some subtle definition during the day, and it works perfectly for building it up to be a deeper golden brown for night. The containers they come in are fairly small, but it last a long time...read more. They also have a lot of different eye palettes, back in December I bought the "Click You're It" palette, with 15 eye shadows, plus 5 creme eye liners. All of Smashbox's eye shadows are a 10 in my book! — 5 years, 6 months agoqueenv | 14 reviews

UNIONDALE, N.Y. -- So long as nobody asks the Pittsburgh Penguins how they got out of the first round, they should be okay.
Outplayed once again by the eighth-seeded New York Islanders, the Stanley Cup favorites did not lead Game 6 of their first-round series on Saturday night until Brooks Orpik scored 7:49 into overtime, ending the series with a 4-3 victory and sending Pittsburgh to a second-round matchup with the Ottawa Senators. The Penguins won on Saturday despite being outshot 38-21.
To the Penguins' credit, they showed a lot of grit in coming back from three one-goal deficits in Game 6, although Paul Martin's goal with 5:16 left in the third period was rather fortunate,, deflecting past Evgeni Nabokov off the stick of Islanders forward Frans Nielsen.
New York had taken the lead 12:21 earlier, when Norris Trophy finalist Kris Letang made an awful mistake, with an unchallenged giveaway to Keith Aucoin, who faked a slap shot, then passed to Michael Grabner for a goal that had Nassau Coliseum rocking. The joy did not carry through the night, and the Islanders' season is over after New York gave Pittsburgh all it could handle.
Tomas Vokoun made 35 saves to keep the Penguins from having to face a Game 7, although Dan Bylsma now must decide whether to stick with Vokoun in the second round or go back to benched No. 1 goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury.
The Penguins may have missed the news that John Tavares is a finalist for the Hart Trophy, which is odd considering he is up for the MVP award along with their captain, Sidney Crosby.
On the game's first goal, Tavares got a backhand pass from Josh Bailey in the slot, and there was barely a Penguin to be found around him as he fired a wrist shot past Tomas Vokoun, 5:36 into the first period. The closest Pittsburgh man was Chris Kunitz, who offered a token attempt at a stick check, while James Neal appeared utterly disinterested in participating in defense. An actual defenseman, Matt Niskanen, was caught in no-man's land, while Douglas Murray and Evgeni Malkin at least were engaged guarding other players.
The Penguins' defensive effort was not much better on the goal that put the Islanders up 2-1, 37 seconds before the end of the first period. Grabner won the puck from Paul Martin behind the Pittsburgh net, and Brooks Orpik also got caught too low as Grabner worked the puck to Aucoin, who passed across the goalmouth to Colin McDonald for an easy putaway.
The goal was McDonald's second of the series against the team he played five games for last season.
With his goal in the first period, off a rebound of a Sidney Crosby backhand try, Jarome Iginla extended his playoff point streak to a career high-tying six games.
Iginla had two goals and four assists during a six-game stretch of the 2004 playoffs for the Calgary Flames, in the second round against the Detroit Red Wings and the Western Conference finals against the San Jose Sharks. This streak has been more productive, as Iginla had two-assist performances in Games 1, 2, and 4. He had a single goal in Game 3 and an assist in Game 5.
The Penguins' second goal of the game also was a streak-maker, as Pascal Dupuis scored his fifth goal of the series to join Iginla in the points-in-every-game club. Dupuis' previous career-best streak was five points in four games during the 2010 first and second round against the Senators and Canadiens.
Joe Vitale had the primary assist on Dupuis goal, passing from the corner to the front of the net for a redirection. It was Vitale's first time on the scoresheet in six career postseason games.

I've decided that on this Valentine's Day, I am going to celebrate all love.
By all love, I mean being thankful for your family, friends, neighbors and co-workers, basically everyone who plays an important part in your life.
And, if you're in a healthy romantic relationship by all means observe the day reserved for lovers.
And hey, if you're not in a relationship, celebrate the fact that you're no longer in a bad relationship!
Now, as a kid Valentine's Day meant a fun day at school of exchanging cute animated cards among friends.
It was the day set aside to consume as many lollipops, candy hearts and chocolate treats that our little hearts desired!
I asked some of our loyal readers to share their favorite Valentine's Day memory, and here's what they said.
Ashley Blevins:
When reflecting about Valentine's Day, I can recall many, many memories dating back to childhood.
Some memories are pleasant and some, well, not so pleasant. Trying to choose my "most memorable†was very difficult.
Sitting in a gorgeous, romantic, warm and inviting Chateau in St. Morritz, Switzerland with my husband, Webb. We had just finished a lovely day of skiing and we enjoyed every bit of our delicious meal, wine AND each other.
After taking some time to really reflect upon the many memories from Valentine's Day, I can honestly say that it really is JUST another day. We should take the time each and EVERY day to celebrate the ones we love. Happy Valentine's Day!
Shary Loewy Hyman:
On February 14, 1976, I was at Northwestern's Prentice Hospital in Chicago ready to give birth to my first child.
It was after 11 p.m., and there was another mother also ready to deliver any minute.
Back then, we didn't know the sex of our child before birth.
I remember telling the doctor to deliver the other person's baby first because I thought I could wait until the 15th to have a son.
I was right and shortly after Febraury 14th turned to February 15th, Adam was born.
Valentine's Day 1976 was a day of family eating pizza and me waiting to become a mom. It was the best belated Valentine gift ever!
Amy Weisenberger:
Two years ago on Valentine's Day, it was a month to the day since our daughter Anna was born, and we were still figuring it all out.
Obviously we weren't going to leave our newborn at home to go out for Valentine's Day, so we got take out from Napa River Grill, put the baby to sleep and had a wonderful candlelit dinner in our dining room.  We had a lot to be thankful for that Valentine's Day.
Suzanne Crum:
My newborn was but a few weeks old, so I dressed her in an oversized heart dress and made a romantic dinner in the dining room.
I still remember that sweet dinner as she slept in the swing next to us. Â That bottle of wine never tasted so good!

June 26, 2014
We are disappointed to share with our members that earlier this afternoon, IRS Commissioner John Koskinen held a press conference in which the agency announced that the IRS will begin to roll out a voluntary filing season certification program.
NAEA has covered this issue at length in the last several E@lert issues and outlined our concerns with the program. Those concerns--many of you will recall--are largely centered on the agency's unwarranted haste, and on the fact that by eliminating a valid minimum competency test in lieu of a 100-question quiz, IRS has sacrificed program integrity on the altar of expediency.
While some may see the press release as an exercise in wishful thinking, for the moment we merely question the assertion that "the voluntary program will be a step to help protect taxpayers during the 2015 filing season."
The trouble, of course, is that the program does no such thing. If we believed that the program would help protect our nation's taxpayers, we would not have opposed it so strongly.
We will cover the program in more detail in the June 27 issue of E@lert, but we wanted to update our members on the latest news on the return preparer oversight issue.

Thanks for sharing and best regards.
