Michael B. Fleming Gymnasium is located in the Coleman Building, a $16.2 million facility that opened on campus in June 1989.
Before the 2006-07 season, Fleming Gym underwent a facelift to improve seating amenities. The new seating includes chairback seating on the lower half with bleacher bench seating in the upper half.
In the summer of 2011, a project to overhaul the team locker room areas began. The project include expanded, modernized space for numerous UNCG teams and also meeting areas for video breakdown and other activities.
The gymnasium, which has seating for more than 1,800 for basketball and 1,200 for volleyball was named on Dec. 1, 1994 for Fleming, a Greensboro civic leader whose advocacy at the highest levels of state government was instrumental in the construction of the HHP Building. The Spartan men's basketball team defeated William and Mary 84-71 that night. Spartan teams first occupied the gym during the 1989-90 academic year.
The largest crowd to see an athletic contest in the gym was 2,302 for a men's basketball game against Charleston Southern on Feb. 25, 1995. The Spartans won, 98-70.
Fleming Gymnasium has played host to various conference championship tournaments, including Big South volleyball in 1994 and 1995; Big South women's basketball in 1994; Southern Conference women's basketball in 1998 and 1999; SoCon wrestling in 1999; and SoCon volleyball in 2001 and 2008. In 2005, it played host to the SoCon-ACC Wrestling Championships, also known as MatJam.
Prior to the 1996-97 season, the Boston Celtics held their training camp in the gym.
For intercollegiate athletics, Fleming Gym offers:
- Three courts.
- A separate, two-court area that several teams use for practices.
- A weight-training area that includes Nautilus equipment and free weights.
- A spacious sports medicine area, which includes modern equipment to serve the university's 17 teams.
- Locker rooms and team rooms for the Spartans, visiting teams and officials.
- Offices for coaches and athletics staff on the first and third (main) floors.
- A ticket office and concessions areas, near the third-floor entrance to the building.

I've been watching the Academy Awards since Bob Hope was a baby. Back then, they didn't have a different host each year; it was always Bob Hope. Then Johnny Carson took over for a while. Now they audition someone new every few years, but it's such a no-win gig, you wonder why anyone wants it. Jon Stewart did an admirable job a few years ago, yet his movie career is still in the toilet. Waiters at trendy L.A. restaurants get more acting offers.
The Academy Awards show has a long tradition — of train wrecks. Every year there is an endless parade of presenters who forget to bring their reading glasses, presenters who mangle the simplest names, presenters who are so improbably mismatched that you wonder if the producer just puts together the last two people he met at some other awards show — "Please welcome Dame Judi Dench and Adam Sandler …" — presenters who stumble over the easiest of cue cards. Considering that the presenters are usually actors who have already won an Academy Award, you'd think they'd be able to at least act as if they were not reading from a teleprompter. You'd think at least one of their personal assistants could have remembered to bring their reading glasses.
Then there are the awards for things that are so trivial, even by Hollywood standards, that you wonder if anyone on the board has actually been in a movie theater since 1928. My local theater has yet to show some of the films nominated for Best Picture, so when do you think they're going to show the nominees for Short Film (animated) and Short Film (live action)? Oh, yeah, that would be never. The Oscars don't have enough time to let the winners say "I'd like to thank my mother," but they have plenty of time for these two awards? I'm sure all the nominated short films are award-worthy, but to the world at large, short films are like drum solos — even if they're good, we don't like them. Best Documentary Short could be dumped, too. Not because people won't watch them: There is always a new freshman class at Angst University that will sit through anything, the more depressing the better. The real reason the award should be canned is that the people who make documentaries rarely wear the best gowns or the most fashionable tuxedos when they attend the Oscars. Joan Rivers doesn't even bother to ask them who designed their clothes. If you can't pass that tiny awards hurdle, should you really be there?
They say a billion people watch the Academy Awards each year, but those billion people aren't here in North America; they are in Europe, India, Indonesia and scattered all around the world. But that audience could easily be doubled if they cut out the deadly musical numbers. I know there have been a lot of memorable musical numbers on the Oscars over the last 80 years. Whoops, no, wait — there has been one memorable musical number over the last 80 years: Isaac Hayes performing "Shaft." That is it. The music you heard on the other 79 shows was just the sound of a billion toilets flushing at the same time. I'll bet if you run down to the beach during the musical numbers, you could watch the ocean rise a few inches in three minutes.
But for all my whining, I will always watch the Oscars and the red carpet walk of fame. It's like going to a big wedding where you finally meet the parents of the bride and groom, and all their crazy brothers and sisters and aunts and uncles, and you say to yourself, "That explains so much." Yes, the band was too loud and the best man gave a painfully awkward speech, and you wonder what the bride was thinking when she picked out that ridiculous dress. But you still come. You even bring a present.

E. Johnson finding ways to contribute to Braves
ATLANTA -- Second baseman Elliot Johnson was denied extra bases when Padres center fielder Will Venable ranged into the left-center-field gap to make a diving grab in the first inning on Saturday night, making it halfway to second base before he turned for the Braves' dugout in disbelief.
The next morning, Johnson took little consolation from the fact that Venable has spent all year turning heads with highlight-reel plays, or that Johnson himself had robbed Venable of an infield single with a nifty glove-flip on a slow roller in the third inning of Friday's series opener.
Since Johnson was claimed off waivers from the Royals on Aug. 21, he has impressed with a handful of slick plays at multiple spots in the field and produced enough at the plate to earn regular playing time from manager Fredi Gonzalez. After hitting just .179 with 49 strikeouts and an OPS of .458 in 79 games in Kansas City, Johnson entered Sunday with a .259 average, an OPS of .657 and five steals in his first 19 games with the Braves.
"This is pretty much what I do," Johnson said. "Steal a base here and there, play some good defense, and offensively, I'll hit some balls hard, and sometimes they dive and catch it, and sometimes they fall in. That's just kind of the way it is, so minimize my strikeouts and I'll be able to be a serviceable player at this level."
On Friday, he followed the quick flip to retire Venable with arguably an even more impressive play a few innings later, ranging deep in the hole to haul in Chris Denorfia's cue shot up the middle and firing a strong throw to first that left Denorfia crouched in dismay up the first-base line. Both defensive plays caught Gonzalez's eye in a losing effort.
"He's showing some athleticism out there at second base," Gonzalez said. "When we got him, [Royals manager] Ned Yost told me that this guy's a pretty good second baseman, and so far, he's really been dead on."
On Sunday, Johnson was tabbed for his seventh consecutive start, having earned the majority of playing time at second as Dan Uggla has struggled to get comfortable following LASIK surgery in August. Each game Johnson sees time offers the 29-year-old utility man a chance to find new ways to contribute and keep himself in the lineup one way or another down the stretch.
"I'm getting plenty of opportunity here," Johnson said. "It's my job to make the most of it. I'm not really sure what exactly there is long-term, so I show up, and if my name's in the lineup, then I'll help the team win today and take it from there. Every day that you get an opportunity to play is an opportunity to showcase what you can do and potentially further your career and come up with building trust and other things of that nature with the skipper."

Batch tests were performed to investigate the nitrite effect on the P-uptake of biomass grown in pilot-scale SBR and MBR systems. The results showed that the nitrite has an inhibitory effect on the aerobic P-uptake of the SBR and the MBR biomasses. The degree of inhibition was observed to be 65 % and 37 % at 10 mg NO2-N/ℓ for the SBR and the MBR respectively. Both biomasses were found capable of using nitrite as electron acceptor as effectively as nitrate. Moreover, for the SBR biomass the anoxic P-uptake rate using nitrite was found even higher (60%) than the P-uptake rate with nitrate. From a modelling point of view, the current models require appropriate extensions to describe these various effects of nitrite. Hence, an extension of the ASM2d model has been provided. Prevention of nitrite build-up in full-scale EBPRs will eliminate the nitrite inhibition problem. Alternatively one can adopt a proactive approach in which the aerobic P-uptake phase is replaced with an anoxic P-uptake phase using only nitrite as electron acceptor. Such an approach offers considerable cost savings and enhanced nitrogen and phosphorus removal. This, however, requires further research for experimental validation and testing.

The Indian renewable energy market is estimated to be worth over £10 billion this year. With an installed capacity of 2,700MW in 2010 the outlook is positive. It is expected that only 14% of India's renewable energy resources have been tapped so far leaving a huge potential for future market growth.
Current incentives are impressive and India's renewable energy sector has been rated fourth globally. So what is it that is moving the market at such a rapid pace and are there hurdles in the way of achieving the expected targets in this sector?
Government has currently set targets to double renewable energy capacity to 25GW in the next four years. This is in response to ambitious climate change targets and a need for energy security with energy shortages being a major nationwide issue. The current framework has created a 'goldrush' mentality in the industry opening doors to a wider range of companies interested in the industry. However, the wavering reliability of these incentive programmes does not currently provide the support necessary to encourage the lending rates akin to other leading renewable markets globally and adjustments must be considered.
Euromoney Energy Events' 4th REFF India will provide a stage for energy majors and developers to showcase their solutions on how the market should move forward. It will allow policy makers to review their strategies and financial players to explain their perspectives and goals for capital expenditure in this sector.
- Get involved in one of the most promising markets for renewables internationally
- Meet the people you need to further your business in a challenging climate
- Capitalise on market opportunities through shared knowledge and experiences
- Bring your project to fruition with the financial support you need
- Hear compelling arguments on future strategies for the sector from industry leaders

Redlands Connection is a concoction of sports memories emanating from a city that once numbered less than 20,000 people. From the Super Bowl to the World Series, from the World Cup to golf's U.S. Open and the Olympics, plus NCAA Final Four connections, NASCAR, the Kentucky Derby and Indianapolis 500, Tour de France cycling, major tennis, NBA and a little NHL, aquatics and quite a bit more, the sparkling little city that sits around halfway between Los Angeles and Palm Springs on Interstate 10 has its share of sports connections. – Obrey Brown
In honor of the College World Series, which is getting underway.
Redlands' Chris Hernandez had a nice fastball, good command.
He was part of some nice Redlands High School teams which, for some reason, has never reached a CIF Southern Section championship game in well over 100 years of taking the diamond.
Out a fairly impressive list of Redlands High pitchers — Shaun Benzor, Richie Burgess, Ben Washburn, John Herrera, David Quinowski, plus MLB veteran Ed Vande Berg and current RHS pitching coach Gary Pool — Hernandez was one of the best of that Terrier chain, sans Vande Berg.
In one game article describing his pitching, I'd referred to Hernandez as a "non-power" pitcher, noting observations made by three scouts having while observing.
It's the kind of thing writers long for while watching a prep game. Hearing accounts of scouts is like tossing out meat for a tiger.
That observation drew disapproval from that particular prospect, who definitely had college and a pro career in mind for himself.
A few days later after that article, he got that off his chest, telling me that, indeed, "I AM a power pitcher."
His years in the minor leagues — six seasons in the Pittsburgh Pirates' chain while reaching the Triple A level — might overlook some brilliant collegiate campaigns.
Hernandez's travels took him first to Riverside City College and, eventually, landing at the University of South Carolina.
While watching him work for Redlands — its PONY All-Stars and, eventually, with the high school Terriers — Hernandez was part of a nice crop of ballplayers.
It led him to RCC, which notched back-to-back State junior college championships in 2000 and 2001 under a future Hall of Fame coach, Dennis Rogers.
That was the launching pad that led Hernandez to South Carolina for his junior and senior seasons in 2002 and 2003. The Gamecocks, one of seven teams from the baseball-rich Southeastern Conference to reach the NCAA Division 1 playoffs, made it to the College World Series in both years.
So here was Hernandez, a two-time All-Orange Empire Conference selection at RCC.
In 2002, the Gamecocks (57-18) had to get past Virginia Commonwealth, North Carolina and Miami in the Columbia, N.C. Super Regional.
At the CWS, Georgia Tech took down USC, 13-0, in the opening round.
Wins over Nebraska, a rematch over Georgia Tech, then a sweep over Clemson lifted the Gamecocks into the championship game against Texas.
The Longhorns, coached by the legendary Augie Garrido, beat the Gamecocks, 12-6.
Playing against such future MLB prospects as Huston Street (Texas), Kahlil Greene (Clemson), Nebraska's Drew Anderson, Todd Sears and Brian Duensing, Aaron Hill (LSU), Stanford's Ryan Garko, Jed Lowrie and Carlos Quentin, Chris Ianetta (North Carolina) — to name a few.
Hernandez (1-1, 3.27) pitched in 13 games that season.
South Carolina's talent pool that season? Catcher Landon Powell (Oakland), pitcher Matt Campbell (Kansas City) and shortstop Drew Meyer (Texas Rangers) were eventual first-round round picks.
On a 45-22 squad in 2003, there were no less than 17 Gamecock players targeted by MLB teams. Powell, third baseman Brian Buscher (San Francisco), outfielder Kevin Melillo (Oakland) and infielder Steve Tolleson (Minnesota) were among those that eventually reached the majors.
Hernandez was 5-5 that season (3.32 ERA, 25 games, 84 innings), pitching three complete games though he appeared mostly in relief. Eight teams from the SEC battled their way into the NCAA playoffs.
It was Stanford that ultimately knocked out the Gamecocks in their chase to another CWS championship — twice, in fact, 8-0 and 13-6. In between those losses, USC had stayed alive with 11-10 win over Louisiana State.
LSU couldn't hold on, despite the presence of future MLB reliever Brian Wilson, who closed down San Francisco's 2010 World Series championship over Texas.
Rice (Texas) University beat Stanford two out of three to nail down the 2003 title.
As for his opponents, imagine pitching to future major leaguers like Ryan Garko, Jed Lowrie and Carlos Quentin, who were noted Stanford sluggers.
The Cardinal had 23 MLB draftees that year, including four No. 1 picks (Quentin, Lowrie, Danny Putnam and John Mayberry, Jr.), a No. 2 (Donny Lucy) and No. 3 (Garko).
With the Pirates, Hernandez made two all-star teams, chunking out 23 wins, 56 saves and a 3.22 ERA in 230 professional games between 2003 and 2009.
The Pirates?
Hernandez had some good seasons — 24 saves, 1.93 with the Class A Hickory Crawdads in his first full season as a pro, 6-1 record and a 2.86 ERA with Class AA Altoona Croon in 2007. At the Class AAA level, he spent parts of two seasons with the Indianapolis Indians of the International League.
He was 0-4 over 23 games in between a 4-0, 2.61 stint back at Altoona.
Hernandez was teammates with future MVP Andrew McCutchen, plus solid future MLB players like Neil Walker and Steve Pearce, both No. 1 draft picks. So were pitchers Bryan Bullington and Sean Burnett, who never quite made the grade at the MLB level.
In all, Hernandez struck out 353 hitters over 324 1/3 innings as a seven-year minor leaguer — not bad for a power pitcher.
As for the College World Series, consider this: Hernandez first showed up there with the Gamecocks in 2002, repeating the appearance in 2003.
One season later, another ex-Terrier, Robbie Hudson, made the first of two straight trips to Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, Neb. — site of the annual CWS.
The Redlands Connection was in full effect at college's biggest baseball showcase.

class element may contain
extension elements,
elements, and
fetch-group elements.
field elements represent fields declared
by the persistent class. These elements are optional; if a field
declared in the class is not named by some
element, then its properties are defaulted as explained in the
attribute listings below. Thanks to JDO's comprehensive set of
defaults, most fields do not need to be listed explicitly.
field elements accept the following attributes:
name: The name of the field, as it is
declared in the persistent class. This attribute is required.
persistence-modifier: Specifies how JDO
should manage the field. Legal values are
persistent for persistent fields,
transactional for fields that are
non-persistent but can be rolled back along with the current
transaction, and
none. The default value of
this attribute is based on the type of the field:
Fields declared
static, transient,
final default to
Fields of any primitive or primitive wrapper type
default to
Fields of types
java.lang.Number, java.math.BigDecimal,
java.math.BigInteger, java.util.Locale, and
default to
Fields of any user-defined persistence-capable type
default to
Arrays of any of the types above default to
Fields of the following container types in the
java.util package
default to
Collection, Set, List, Map, ArrayList,
HashMap, HashSet, Hashtable, LinkedList, TreeMap,
TreeSet, Vector.
All other fields default to
primary-key: Set this attribute to
true if the class uses application identity
and this field is a primary key field. Defaults to
null-value: Specifies the treatment of
null values when the field is written to the
datastore. Use a value of
none if the data
store should hold a
null value for the
field. Use
default to write a datastore
default value instead. Finally, use
exception if you want the JDO implementation
to throw an exception if the field is
at flush time. Defaults to
default-fetch-group: Default fetch group
fields are managed as a single unit for efficiency. They are
typically loaded as a block from the datastore, and are
often written as a block as well. This attribute defaults to
true for primitive, primitive wrapper,
String, Date, BigDecimal, and
BigInteger types. All other types default
dependent: Set this attribute to
true to create a dependent
relation. In a dependent relation, the referenced object is
deleted whenever the owning object is deleted, or whenever the
relation is severed by nulling or resetting the owning field.
For example, if the
field is marked dependent, then setting
to a new
Article instance will
automatically delete the old
stored in the field. Similarly, deleting a
object will automatically delete its current cover
dependent attribute is only meaningful
if the field holds a reference to another persistence-capable
Kodo allows you to assign a dependent object that has been severed from its owning field or whose owner has been deleted to another relation within the same transaction. This will prevent the dependent object from being deleted.
embedded: This is a hint to the JDO
implementation to store the field as part of the class
instance in the datastore, rather than as a separate entity.
For example, a relational implementation might store a
properties in the same database row as the
Company record.
Embedded defaults to
true for primitive,
primitive wrapper,
Date, BigDecimal,
BigInteger, array, collection, and map
types. All other types default
false. Embedded objects do not
appear in the
Extent for their
class, and cannot be retrieved directly by query.
Any embedded relation to another persistence-capable object is automatically dependent as well.
field elements may contain
extension child elements.
elements that represent array, collection, or map fields may also
contain a single
collection, or
map child element,
respectively. Each of these elements may contain additional
extension elements in turn.
array element has two attributes:
dependent-element: Equivalent to the
field element's
dependent attribute, but applies to the
values stored in each array index. In addition to the owning
field being reset or nulled, dependent elements can be
severed from their owner by removing the element from the
array. This will cause the element value to be deleted.
embedded-element: This attribute mirrors the
embedded attribute of the
element, but applies to the values stored in each
array index.
collection element also has the
dependent-element and
attributes. Additionally, it declares the
element-type attribute. Use this
attribute to tell the JDO implementation what class of objects the
collection contains. This is important for efficient storage of the
collection contents. The
element-type defaults to
java.lang.Object unless you are using Java 5
parameterized types, in which case it defaults to the type parameter
in your field declaration.
map element define six attributes. They are:
key-type: The class of objects used for
map keys. Similar to
element-type as
described above. The
key-type defaults to
java.lang.Object unless you are using
Java 5 parameterized types, in which case it defaults to
the key type parameter in your field declaration.
dependent-key: Same as the
dependent-element attribute of arrays and
collections, but applies to map keys.
embedded-key: Same as the
embedded-element attribute of arrays and
collections, but applies to map keys.
value-type: The class of objects used for
map values. The
value-type defaults to
java.lang.Object unless you are using Java 5
parameterized types, in which case it defaults to the value
type parameter in your field declaration.
dependent-value: Same as the
dependent-element element of arrays and
collections, but applies to map values.
embedded-value: Same as the
embedded-element element of arrays and
collections, but applies to map values.

This weekend's Boston Symphony Orchestra concerts (beginning on Thursday, 19 February 2015, conducted by Stéphane Denève) include the stylized jazz of Darius Milhaud's score for the 1923 ballet La création du monde. Commissioned by the Ballets Suédois, a short-lived rival to the more famous Ballets Russes, La création du monde joined a long line of artworks and spectacles in which European artists leveraged the perceived frisson of non-European cultures. Africa inspired La création du monde: writer Blaise Cendrars fashioned a scenario from African creation myths he collected for his Anthologie nègre; artist Fernand Léger based his set and costume designs on African sculpture. The goal was less authenticity than shock. (Milhaud recalled Léger rejecting designs because they were "too bright and 'pretty-pretty.'")
Milhaud brought jazz into the mix. He missed the first Parisian vogue for jazz (he was in Brazil, serving as secretary to the French ambassador, playwright Paul Claudel), but was smitten after hearing it in London; he later traveled to New York and visited jazz clubs in Harlem. Jazzy touches were already commonplace back in Paris, but Milhaud wanted something closer to the source. He favored the tumult of the improvisation he heard in Harlem over the tightly arranged stylings of the largely white bands that played in Europe; La création du monde is fully composed, but its Baroque-inspired prelude-and-fugue form was designed to capture jazz's contrapuntal frenzy. Milhaud was determined to get the sound right, limiting the strings to single players – letting winds, piano, and percussion dominate – and prominently featuring the saxophone, its tone (as Milhaud described it) "squeezing the juice out of dreams."
The score also preserves a fluid moment in the history of art. As the twentieth century progressed, modernism and popular culture became adversaries, but, at the time of La création du monde, modernists could engage with pop on terms that were equal parts celebration and sabotage. Milhaud's music pushes against both sides: the orchestra sounds like a jazz band, the jazz band plays like Bach, Bach underpins a pagan ritual, the ritual fuels Parisian fashion. Every element tries to reshape every other by force of collision. (Not incidentally, La création du monde premiered on a double bill with Within the Quota, scored by Cole Porter.)
The revolution didn't pan out – commercial forces commodified jazz, cosseted classical music into plush escapism, and ensured a long estrangement between pop and the avant-garde. But La création du monde still shouts an objection with atypical style.

Wall Street looks for evidence of Facebook's mobile strength after Home, other launches
MENLO PARK -- Facebook is scheduled to report first-quarter earnings Wednesday, after opening the year with a series of high-profile launches for new products aimed at sparking users' interest to keep them returning to the world's largest social network.
Wall Street is expecting Facebook to report adjusted earnings of 13 cents a share, excluding one-time charges, on revenues of $1.39 billion for the quarter that ended March 31, according to a survey by Thomson Reuters. That would be an increase from the year-ago adjusted earnings of 9 cents a share on revenue of $1.06 billion.
Analysts say it's probably too early for Facebook's newest features -- including a redesigned News Feed, a beefed-up search engine and a new interface for Android phones -- to produce much additional revenue. But they're looking for evidence that Facebook is keeping users engaged while the company continues to build its mobile advertising business, amid signs that some people are losing interest in visiting the network, at least on their desktop computers.
Recent data from the comScore research firm shows a "modest deterioration" in the number of monthly visitors and minutes spent on Facebook in the United States, according to a report this week from Mark Mahaney of RBC Capital Markets, who said the numbers suggest "potential disengagement" by some Facebook users. But Mahaney noted that those numbers only reflect desktop computer usage, so the numbers may reflect a trend among many consumers, who are using smartphones and tablets rather than traditional PCs to go online.
Some of Facebook's latest products, including the redesigned News Feed and its new Android interface, are designed to highlight photos and other eye-catching visual elements on the smaller screens of smartphones and tablets. CEO Mark Zuckerberg has said the changes are also intended to help the company show more engaging advertisements on those mobile devices.
But at least one new innovation, the much-vaunted Facebook Home interface for Android phones, has had what Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia called a "rough start." While the new interface reportedly has been downloaded more than 500,000 times onto Android phones, it has drawn critical comments and a relatively low rating of just two stars out five in the Google Play online store.
Although some users complained the Home software is balky, others said they just didn't like having Facebook's interface taking over their phone's home screen and making it less convenient to access other apps. In a note to investors, Bhatia wrote, "Home will probably be great for the avid Facebook users, but it is unlikely to have mass appeal -- at least not in the current version."
Analysts are hoping to hear more about Facebook's mobile ad revenue, which grew to $306 million in the final quarter of 2012, and about the company's plans for selling new types of ads including video. Facebook also recently announced that it had purchased the Atlas online ad platform from Microsoft.
Facebook's stock price started to climb toward the end of last year, as the company showed signs of progress on the mobile front. But it peaked at $32.47 in late January and has fallen off since then. It's stayed below $28 in recent weeks.

If that press conference doesn't prove it, I don't know what will: The president who campaigned on promises of increased transparency in government has turned out to be a master of evasion (and secret negotiations) instead.
With barely more than a month to go before the Aug. 2 debt ceiling deadline, President Barack Obama still refuses to really lay bare his budget and deficit reduction plans. Since he released his proposed budget earlier this year (a budget the Congressional Budget Office said would double the national debt and never achieve a deficit of less than $748 billion), he's done nothing but deliver general remarks — and, as CBO director Doug Elmendorf said recently, the CBO doesn't exactly score speeches.
Obama's platitudes might have surface appeal — of course "we can focus on jobs at the same time that we focus on debt and deficit reduction" and of course "one of the most important things we can do for debt and deficit reduction is to grow the economy" — but they don't deliver the specifics Congress and the public so desperately need to know before a last-minute vote on the debt limit.
(Of course, those specifics Obama did mention in the press conference this afternoon don't exactly inspire confidence in the brilliance that supposedly simmers behind closed doors in Vice President Joe Biden's rapidly collapsing secret deficit reduction talks. Praise for payroll tax reductions and unemployment insurance combined with criticism for corporate tax cuts doesn't exactly bode well for a plan to reduce the deficit.)
Yet, the president still claimed today that he has led on this issue — and audaciously implied a Congressional vote to raise the debt ceiling should be just as much of a no-brainer as his daughters doing their homework.
But, as Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), ranking member on the Senate Budget Committee, has said:
The president cannot 'lead from behind' in dealing with the most pressing crisis our nation faces—our exploding debt and the increasing damage it is doing to our economy.
It's taking too long for a proposal to be presented, and it is clear now that optimistic statements about existing progress have been too generous. It will be unacceptable for the White House talks, or any talks, to produce a controversial decision at the 11th hour and for its passage to then be demanded in panic. Such an approach heightens the risk of failure.
Congress and the American people deserve a full opportunity to review and consider any debt limit deal that is struck behind closed doors.
Sessions is not the only person to have called for greater openness. (Here, for example, are Sen. John Thune (R-SD) and Rep. James Lankford (R-Okla.) saying the same thing and a Fox News panel debating the issue, as well.) But history shows us we have every reason to expect the results of the Biden talks won't be revealed until the last minute. Consider:
The stimulus bill in February 2009 was worked out by a bipartisan group of lawmakers in closed meetings.
The president's number-one agenda item upon assuming office was to pass comprehensive health care reform. The bill was negotiated by a few select Democrat congressmen behind closed doors without C-SPAN cameras, then presented to Congress.
And this past spring, the deal that extended the Continuing Resolution and avoided a government shutdown was worked out in private between Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, House Speaker John Boehner, and President Obama. It was then "dropped into the legislative hopper with crisis providing motivation" to pass it or else.
To be fair, the president might have fostered an environment of secrecy, but he hasn't received much help on the debt and deficit from Democrats in the Senate, who might have been able to prevent the need for the Biden talks in the first place, had they just passed a budget at any point in the past two years.

Another interesting paper and good lesson in history in which Martin clearly points out the shortcomings of a gold monetary system and describes the checks and balances created within a floating exchange rate system. He sees serious consequences for our currency and offers that the year 2015 would fit in his cycle analysis as a potential year that a transition to a new currency system might transpire – hmmm, that's very interesting. He also provides market analysis for the world's major currencies.
Please take a minute to read his acknowledgement as well. First he thanks everyone for their support, then he goes onto say, "I believe we are at a crossroads where we are in serious danger of creating an economic disaster beyond belief." Serious words not to be taken lightly. His comments add to the number of thinkers who are seeing real danger ahead.

WASHINGTON (Sept. 19, 4:55 p.m. ET) — Children and teenagers with higher levels of bisphenol A are 2.6 times more likely to be obese than those who have lower levels of BPA, according to an examination of data by the New York University School of Medicine.
But the American Chemistry Council immediately disputed the results, released Sept. 18, arguing that the analysis was "incapable of establishing any meaningful connection between BPA and obesity, due to inherent, fundamental limitations in this study."
"In particular, the study measures BPA exposure only after obesity has developed, which provides no information on what caused obesity to develop," said Steven Hentges, director of the Polycarbonate/BPA Global Group of Washington-based ACC.
"The authors themselves state: 'Obesity develops over time, and causation cannot be inferred from a cross-sectional association of urinary BPA concentration,' " said Hentges, quoting the report. "The authors further state that their work is 'at best hypothesis-generating,' indicating that this study is speculative and might, at most, be the basis for conducting additional studies."
The NYU study team looked at data collected in 2003 and 2004 as part of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and measured body mass and urinary BPA — which is an indirect way of measuring BPA exposure — in more than 2,800 American children and teens.
"Clearly bad diet and lack of exercise are the leading contributors to childhood obesity, but this study suggests a significant role for environmental, particularly chemical, factors in that epidemic," said lead author Leonard Trasande, an associate professor of pediatrics and environmental medicine at School of Medicine.
"Our study can't identify obesity as being caused by BPA," said Trasande in the report, which was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. "But in the context of increasing evidence from experimental studies, it raises further concern, and adds weight to calls for a broader ban on BPA in food packaging."
However, Hentges disagreed.
"More relevant to actual, real-world safety is the recent, robust [Pacific Northwest] research funded by the Environmental Protection Agency ... that indicates because of the way BPA is processed in the body, it is very unlikely that BPA could cause health effects at any realistic exposure level," said Hentges.
"Attempts to link our national obesity problem to minute exposures to chemicals found in common, everyday products are a distraction from the real efforts under way to address this important national health issue," he said.
Eleven states, the city of Chicago and four counties have banned the use of BPA in polycarbonate baby bottles and sippy cups, even though all major baby bottle manufacturers that make products for the U.S. market agreed in 2009 not to make or sell baby bottles or sippy cups that contain BPA.
In addition to the bans in the United States, BPA is banned in baby bottles in the European Union, Canada and China.
In July, the FDA — in response to an industry petition — agreed to exclude baby bottles and sippy cups from regulations that permit companies to use BPA in food-contact applications.
"Although governments around the world continue to support the safety of BPA in food-contact materials, confusion about whether BPA is used in baby bottles and sippy cups had become an unnecessary distraction to consumers, legislators and state regulators," said Hentges after FDA issued its decision this past July. "[This] provides certainty that BPA is not used to make the baby bottles and sippy cups on store shelves, either today or in the future."
BPA is used to make PC and epoxy resins. The materials are used to line metal cans and are found in thermal printer paper and some dental composites and sealants.
An international panel from the World Health Organization said in November 2010 that it "would be premature" to initiate any measures to manage potential risks to public health from BPA.
"Levels of BPA in the human body … are very low, indicating that BPA is not accumulated in the body and is rapidly eliminated through urine," said WHO.
Those conclusions were reached by WHO just nine days after a peer-reviewed study published online in the scientific journal Environmental Science and Technology said BPA levels found in canned food — as well as fresh foods wrapped in plastic packaging in the U.S. — are nearly 1,000 times lower than the "tolerable daily intake levels" set by the EPA and the European Food Safety Authority.
It is estimated that more than 8 billion pounds of BPA are produced worldwide every year.

Electronic Arts is using Unity 3D to develop Tiger Woods Online. The game is currently in beta. It was announced that they were using the engine in June on their blog but only on the reposted version here not the original post where the engine was just deemed "new technology".
This is a major shift in the game industry and how it is being expanded into online properties that rival or better the console and desktop versions through online communities. Quake Live from id software uses their own system that wraps existing games (originally developed by Gaim Theory then bought by id Software) and instant action technology from garage games that runs instant action. All these systems have provided us browser based triple AAA style gaming fun. It looks like that movement will continue as more and more game companies and publishers see the valid capabilities of Unity 3D to deliver when you need really deeply immersive 3d experiences in the browser. Also other systems like Torque 3D, Quake Live technology and more will be seeing this trend continue when it comes to games online. It is also becoming a choice for online web based 3d MMOs such as Fusion Fall and Marvel Super Hero Squad.

The recently discovered harp sponge, Chondrocladia lyra, make not look like something you'd bring into the bathtub, but what it lacks in sponginess it more than makes up for in predatory behavior. The harp sponge uses those narrow spines to snare small fish and crustaceans, which it then digests whole.
Most sponges filter water for their food, but the carnivorous behavior of certain species of sponges was first described by Jean Vacelet and Nicole Boury-Esnault from the Centre of Oceanology at France's Aix-Marseille University 17 years ago. Since then, 24 members of the Cladorhizidae family of carnivorous sponges have been identified. The harp sponge, which was discovered in deep waters off the coast of California and found with particles of partially digested crustaceans embedded in its velcro-like spines, is described in the October 18th issue of Invertebrate Biology, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) has kindly posted footage of this fan-like creature. Tragically, we don't get to see it snag any fishes, but we do get some lovely views and an explanation of the sponge's morphology.
The MBARI researchers believe that the sponge evolved its wide fan shape to maximize its predatory surface area, but the researchers were also keenly interested in the reproductive function of its vertical branches. Because cladorhizid sponges are found at such great depths (the harp sponge has been found at depths of 3300-3500 meters), researchers have had little opportunity to study their reproductive behavior. Harp sponges anchor themselves in soft, muddy sediment of the sea floor by their root-like rhizoids and need their spermatophores to do the traveling for them. Each of the sponge's vertical branches ends in a terminal ball that swells with packets of spermatophores. Eventually, the balls release the spermatophores, which will hopefully find another harp sponge to fertilize. That makes the branches something akin to mouth, stomach, and penis all in a single structure. It also means that if a fish swims too close to a harp sponge, it risks getting eaten, or getting an eyeful of sponge sperm.

Earth Day Awareness!
Its time to dive into our kitchen cabinets and take stock of the harmful plastic baby bottles and storage containers that we use daily.
You've probably heard of BPA, the chemical used in polycarbonate plastic food and beverage containers and in resin linings for cans. Originally considered safe, the FDA has now acknowledged concerns about the potential effects of BPA on the brain and prostate gland in fetuses, infants and young children.
Women are usually the decision makers in regards to the kitchen products purchased. We owe it to our families to research
these basics and provide them with the safest alternatives possible.
Action we can take to protect our families:
1-Choose glass, or BPA free plastic containers and baby bottles, pacifiers, etc.
2-To store hot foods, leftovers, etc. use glass, porcelain or stainless steel containers.
3-Avoid BPA laden plastic containers with the No. 7 recycling label.
4-Dont microwave plastic containers.
5-Use dried beans, fresh fruits and vegetables instead of canned foods which contain BPA- containing resin.

Apple Mountain Lion Embraces Flickr and Vimeo Sharing
Apple, which embraced Twitter in its iOS5 update last year, is expanding the palette of social sharing options with two new partners — Flickr and Vimeo — in the company's latest operating-system upgrade, Mountain Lion.
Users of the OS upgrade, also known as Mac OS X: Version 10.8, will see a new option in many apps called Share Sheet. Share Sheet lets you share photos, videos and links across your apps. As previously noted, Apple has expanded its relationship with Twitter to allow Twitter-based sharing in place of the now-defunct iChat. But Twitter's not the only option.
As with the iOS 5 Twitter integration, aligning your Flickr and Vimeo accounts requires that you log into those accounts via System Preferences. According to Slashgear, Mountain Lion-based apps will be able to offer options that make the most sense. For instance, Flickr sharing will be an option in PhotoBooth, but not in Notes. (In a nod to Apple's recent popularity in China, Share Sheet also offers integration with Chinese video-sharing sites Youku and Toudu. Mail, contacts and Calendar syncing will receive support from QQ, 126 and 123 — Chinese service providers.)
Various OS X and official Apple apps have had third-party service integration for some time. iPhoto '09 introduced the ability to upload photos directly to Flickr and iPhoto '11 added support for Facebook. Likewise, iMovie has had the ability to upload directly to YouTube since iMovie '08. We're not sure why Apple is integrating some social networks into Mountain Lion and excluding others, but it could come down to proper API support that is accessible at a system level. Some platforms, such as Twitter and Flickr, have extensive API support for deep application integration, while others such as Facebook, are more limited.
Another possibility is that the decision was driven by the realpolitik of the tech industry. Apple has a fractious relationship with Facebook, in part because of that company's close ties with Apple archrival Microsoft. Apple and Google's mutual enmity may also a major reason why Vimeo has been integrated but the Google-owned YouTube has not.
Considering those limitations, Apple has still greatly expanded built-in sharing options. Vimeo, for instance, claims to receive about 65 million unique visitors per month (vs. 130 million for YouTube) while Flickr brings in about 80 million.
