High speed chase nets suspect
By SUE WATSON
An alert employee, who saw the burglary of his boss' home in progress Tuesday and took a good description of the vehicle involved, helped Marshall County sheriff's deputies launch a high-speed chase leading to the arrest of the suspect in Collerville, Tenn.
Sheriff Kenny Dickerson said the employee, working in a nearby area of property, saw a white, older model Dodge pickup being loaded with goods and reported the burglary in progress on Highway 311 around 10 a.m. December 28. The suspect was loading a television, computers, jewelry and numerous other items into the pickup when he was noticed by the employee, who immediately called authorities.
Marshall County deputies launched a rapid pursuit from a location on Loftin Road near Mt. Pleasant after the alert went out for the pickup and it was spotted there, the sheriff said.
A pursuit in excess of 100 miles per hour proceeded on back roads and state highways until the chase became too dangerous and Marshall County authorities called it off as not to endanger anyone. The suspect, who was said to have been driving at high speeds on the wrong side of the road, abandoned the pickup at about the same time, fled on foot and was later arrested by Collierville police officers.
The suspect, Deandre Leon Alexander, 43, of the 4200 block of Arrowhead Road, Memphis, Tenn., has waived rights to extradition and was to be brought back to Marshall County Tuesday, according to Dickerson. He said Alexander will be charged with burglary of a residence and with violation of the felony pursuit law. Alexander has a prior record in Tennessee on burglary- and theft-related charges, the sheriff said.
Dickerson said the public and law enforcement authorities could have been injured and the high-speed chase was called off because of the suspect's dangerous and erratic driving.
The sheriff commended and thanked his officers who took chase after the suspect's vehicle once it was spotted, and Collierville police officers for apprehending the suspect. He also praised the alert and timely action of the employee in being observant and in reporting the incident promptly.
"This is a good example of how an alert public can assist law enforcement in the apprehension of suspects who are in the process of committing a crime," Dickerson said.
Items in the seized pickup were identified as coming from the burglarized residence and were recovered, Dickerson said.

The security week that was: 04/16/10
A weekly surveillance of the news shaping your profession
Body scans at airports
Earlier this week, I had a chance to speak with the former CISO for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), Patricia Titus. Titus is now the CISO for Unisys' Federal Systems division, and we were speaking about some recent research that Unisys had produced in its "Security Index" (download PDF of current Security Index report). One of the discussions we had was centered around news from the Security Index that 65 percent of Americans would be willing to cooperate with full electronic body scans at the airport. In the UK, acceptance is at 90 percent for these scans. As we've reported this week, the body scanning technology is steadily being dispersed across the nation's airports. Prior to this week, 19 U.S. airports were using and testing the technology, and now 11 additional airports will be using the technology. One of the slow-downs in the adoption of this technology has been privacy concerns. While I've been subjected to these scans myself, I do think that the TSA is going to have an uphill battle in getting the public to be comfortable with these images, especially since some of these body scan images of real people have already been leaked and posted on unsavory websites.
I asked the former CISO of the TSA what she thought about long-term adoption of these technologies: "It's going to take building the trust with the public over time," said Titus. "It's just as when we first asked people to take their shoes off. They were uncomfortable with that at first. They have to help create comfort [with the body scanning process] and confidence. I think that the movement toward government transparency under Obama has helped build that confidence."
Titus added that although the flying public is becoming more comfortable with the body scans, the TSA is going to need to closely ensure that the images are private by implementing data protection procedures. However, the cat may already be out of the proverbial bag now that leaked body scan images are appearing on the Internet. Fortunately, it's still early in the public confidence stage of this technology implementation, and the December bombing attempt on the Northwest/Delta flight to Detroit may have people willing to be a bit more lenient in regards to their privacy (and even where these body scan images might end up in the hands of a nefarious TSA agent). "If we asked before December, the response [to this question of comfort with body scanning] might have been different," said Titus. One of the necessary efforts to encourage widespread adoption of this technology, she said, will be to help privacy advocates fully understand the technology, its limitations and the fact that the current systems will not allow for off-machine sharing of the images.
Breaking the mold of manned security
G4S' Levine wants to raise the value of a security officer by offering full technical solutions
I spoke this morning with Drew Levine, the president of G4S Secured Solutions, the company formerly known as G4S Wackenhut (see earlier news report on name change and strategy focus for G4S). While the full discussion will be available next week to our readers, one of the challenges that Levine said that his firm has faced (the company provides both manned security, business risk consulting and security technology services) is that manned security continues to be plagued by a low-cost, "commodity" type of mind-set. His firm's solution to this problem is to integrate manned security staffing with business risk/security consulting and use of technical security systems, a move which he says will streamline and improve an organization's overall security plan. Levine knows that this is a major mindset change for security buyers who typically just look for the lowest cost manned security program. "We are trying to break the mold where companies are just buying labor [when they hire out guard services]." Look for more of Levine's thoughts on how G4S is trying to change the value proposition of manned security on our site next week...

Run some iLife '06 apps on a G3
I wanted iPhoto6 on my iBook G3 so I could keep my iPhoto libraries synched between my desktop G4 and my iBook. Following advice I'd seen on another site, I installed iLife on my G4, started up the iBook in Target Disk Mode, and dragged the new iPhoto to the laptop replacing the old iPhoto. Seems to work just fine. Haven't tried any editing yet.

- Genome sequence of the necrotrophic plant pathogen Pythium ultimum reveals original pathogenicity mechanisms and effector repertoire (2010)
- Background: Pythium ultimum (P. ultimum) is a ubiquitous oomycete plant pathogen responsible for a variety of diseases on a broad range of crop and ornamental species. Results: The P. ultimum genome (42.8 Mb) encodes 15,290 genes and has extensive sequence similarity and synteny with related Phytophthora species, including the potato blight pathogen Phytophthora infestans. Whole transcriptome sequencing revealed expression of 86% of genes, with detectable differential expression of suites of genes under abiotic stress and in the presence of a host. The predicted proteome includes a large repertoire of proteins involved in plant pathogen interactions although surprisingly, the P. ultimum genome does not encode any classical RXLR effectors and relatively few Crinkler genes in comparison to related phytopathogenic oomycetes. A lower number of enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism were present compared to Phytophthora species, with the notable absence of cutinases, suggesting a significant difference in virulence mechanisms between P. ultimum and more host specific oomycete species. Although we observed a high degree of orthology with Phytophthora genomes, there were novel features of the P. ultimum proteome including an expansion of genes involved in proteolysis and genes unique to Pythium. We identified a small gene family of cadherins, proteins involved in cell adhesion, the first report in a genome outside the metazoans. Conclusions: Access to the P. ultimum genome has revealed not only core pathogenic mechanisms within the oomycetes but also lineage specific genes associated with the alternative virulence and lifestyles found within the pythiaceous lineages compared to the Peronosporaceae.

- Transcriptomic evidence that longevity of acquired plastids in the photosynthetic slugs Elysia timida and Plakobrachus ocellatus does not entail lateral transfer of algal nuclear genes (2010)
- Sacoglossan sea slugs are unique in the animal kingdom in that they sequester and maintain active plastids that they acquire from the siphonaceous algae upon which they feed, making the animals photosynthetic. While most sacoglossan species digest their freshly ingested plastids within hours, four species from the family Plakobranchidae retain their stolen plastids (kleptoplasts) in a photosynthetically active state on time scales of weeks to months. The molecular basis of plastid maintenance within the cytosol of digestive gland cells in these photosynthetic metazoans is yet unknown, but is widely thought to involve gene transfer from the algal food source to the slugs based upon previous investigations of single genes. Indeed, normal plastid development requires hundreds of nuclear-encoded proteins, with protein turnover in photosystem II in particular known to be rapid under various conditions. Moreover, only algal plastids, not the algal nuclei, are sequestered by the animals during feeding. If algal nuclear genes are transferred to the animal either during feeding or in the germ line, and if they are expressed, then they should be readily detectable with deep-sequencing methods. We have sequenced expressed mRNAs from actively photosynthesizing, starved individuals of two photosynthetic sea slug species, Plakobranchus ocellatus Van Hasselt, 1824 and Elysia timida Risso, 1818. We find that nuclear-encoded, algal-derived genes specific to photosynthetic function are expressed neither in P. ocellatus nor in E. timida. Despite their dramatic plastid longevity, these photosynthetic sacoglossan slugs do not express genes acquired from algal nuclei in order to maintain plastid function.
- Morphology and Molecules Reveal Unexpected Cryptic Diversity in the Enigmatic Genus Sinobirma Bryk, 1944 (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) (2012)
- The wild silkmoth genus Sinobirma Bryk, 1944 is a poorly known monotypic taxon from the eastern end of the Himalaya Range. It was convincingly proposed to be closely related to some members of an exclusively Afro-tropical group of Saturniidae, but its biogeographical and evolutionary history remains enigmatic. After examining recently collected material from Tibet, northern India, and northeastern Myanmar, we realized that this unique species, S. malaisei Bryk, 1944 only known so far from a few specimens and from a very restricted area near the border between north-eastern Myanmar and the Yunnan province of China, may in fact belong to a group of closely related cryptic species. In this work, we combined morphological comparative study, DNA barcoding, and the sequences of a nuclear marker (D2 expansion segment of the 28S rRNA gene) to unequivocally delimit three distinct species in the genus Sinobirma, of which two are described as new to science: S. myanmarensis sp. n. and S. bouyeri sp. n. An informative DNA barcode sequence was obtained from the female holotype of S. malaisei—collected in 1934—ensuring the proper assignation of this name to the newly collected and studied specimens. Our findings represent another example of the potential of coupling traditional taxonomy and DNA barcoding for revealing and solving difficult cases of cryptic diversity. This approach is now being generalized to the world fauna of Saturniidae, with the participation of most of the taxonomists studying these moths.
- Simulated climate change conditions unveil the toxic potential of the fungicide pyrimethanil on the midge Chironomus riparius: a multigeneration experiment (2011)
- Although it has been suggested that temperature increase may alter the toxic potential of environmental pollutants, few studies have investigated the potential risk of chemical stressors for wildlife under Global Climate Change (GCC) impact. We applied a bifactorial multigeneration study in order to test if GCC conditions alter the effects of low pesticide concentrations on life history and genetic diversity of the aquatic model organism Chironomus riparius. Experimental populations of the species were chronically exposed to a low concentration of the fungicide pyrimethanil (half of the no-observed-adverse-effect concentration: NOAEC/2) under two dynamic present-day temperature simulations (11.0–22.7°C; 14.0–25.2°C) and one future scenario (16.5–28.1°C). During the 140-day multigeneration study, survival, emergence, reproduction, population growth, and genetic diversity of C. riparius were analyzed. Our results reveal that high temperature and pyrimethanil act synergistically on the midge C. riparius. In simulated present-day scenarios, a NOAEC/2 of pyrimethanil as derived from a life-cycle toxicity test provoked only slight-to-moderate beneficial or adverse effects on C. riparius. In contrast, exposure to a NOAEC/2 concentration of pyrimethanil at a thermal situation likely for a summer under GCC conditions uncovered adverse effects on mortality and population growth rate. In addition, genetic diversity was considerably reduced by pyrimethanil in the future scenario, but only slightly under current climatic conditions. Our multigeneration study under near-natural (climatic) conditions indicates that not only the impact of climate change, but also low concentrations of pesticides may pose a reasonable risk for aquatic insects in future.
- Chemical composition of modern and fossil Hippopotamid teeth and implications for paleoenvironmental reconstructions and enamel formation - Part 1: Major and minor element variation (2012)
- Bioapatite in mammalian teeth is readily preserved in continental sediments and represents a very important archive for reconstructions of environment and climate evolution. This project provides a comprehensive data base of major, minor and trace element and isotope tracers for tooth apatite using a variety of microanalytical techniques. The aim is to identify specific sedimentary environments and to improve our understanding on the interaction between internal metabolic processes during tooth formation and external nutritional control and secondary alteration effects. Here, we use the electron microprobe to determine the major and minor element contents of fossil and modern molar enamel, cement and dentin from Hippopotamids. Most of the studied specimens are from different ecosystems in Eastern Africa, representing modern and fossil lacustrine (Lake Kikorongo, Lake Albert, and Lake Malawi) and modern fluvial environments of the Nile River system. Secondary alteration effects - in particular FeO, MnO, SO3 and F concentrations – are 2 to 10 times higher in fossil than in modern enamel; the secondary enrichment of these components in fossil dentin and cement is even higher. In modern and fossil enamel, along sections perpendicular to the enamel-dentin junction (EDJ) or along cervix-apex profiles, P2O5 and CaO contents and the CaO/P2O5 ratios are very constant (StdDev ∼1%). Linear regression analysis reveals tight control of the MgO (R2∼0.6), Na2O and Cl variation (for both R2>0.84) along EDJ-outer enamel rim profiles, despite large concentration variations (40% to 300%) across the enamel. These minor elements show well defined distribution patterns in enamel, similar in all specimens regardless of their age and origin, as the concentration of MgO and Na2O decrease from the enamel-dentin junction (EDJ) towards the outer rim, whereas Cl displays the opposite trend. Fossil enamel from Hippopotamids which lived in the saline Lake Kikorongo have a much higher MgO/Na2O ratio (∼1.11) than those from the Neogene fossils of Lake Albert (MgO/Na2O∼0.4), which was a large fresh water lake like those in the western Branch of the East African Rift System today. Similarly, the MgO/Na2O ratio in modern enamel from the White Nile River (∼0.36), which has a Precambrian catchment of dominantly granites and gneisses and passes through several saline zones, is higher than that from the Blue Nile River, whose catchment is the Neogene volcanic Ethiopian Highland (MgO/Na2O∼0.22). Thus, particularly MgO/Na2O might be a sensitive fingerprint for environments where river and lake water have suffered strong evaporation. Enamel formation in mammals takes place at successive mineralization fronts within a confined chamber where ion and molecule transport is controlled by the surrounding enamel organ. During the secretion and maturation phases the epithelium generates different fluid composition, which in principle, should determine the final composition of enamel apatite. This is supported by co-linear relationships between MgO, Cl and Na2O which can be interpreted as binary mixing lines. However, if maturation starts after secretion is completed, the observed element distribution can only be explained by equilibration of existing and addition of new apatite during maturation. It appears the initial enamel crystallites precipitating during secretion and the newly formed bioapatite crystals during maturation equilibrate with a continuously evolving fluid. During crystallization of bioapatite the enamel fluid becomes continuously depleted in MgO and Na2O, but enriched in Cl which results in the formation of MgO, and Na2O-rich, but Cl-poor bioapatite near the EDJ and MgO- and Na2O-poor, but Cl-rich bioapatite at the outer enamel rim. The linkage between lake and river water compositions, bioavailability of elements for plants, animal nutrition and tooth formation is complex and multifaceted. The quality and limits of the MgO/Na2O and other proxies have to be established with systematic investigations relating chemical distribution patterns to sedimentary environment and to growth structures developing as secretion and maturation proceed during tooth formation.
- Impact of carnivory on human development and evolution revealed by a new unifying model of weaning in mammals (2012)
- Our large brain, long life span and high fertility are key elements of human evolutionary success and are often thought to have evolved in interplay with tool use, carnivory and hunting. However, the specific impact of carnivory on human evolution, life history and development remains controversial. Here we show in quantitative terms that dietary profile is a key factor influencing time to weaning across a wide taxonomic range of mammals, including humans. In a model encompassing a total of 67 species and genera from 12 mammalian orders, adult brain mass and two dichotomous variables reflecting species differences regarding limb biomechanics and dietary profile, accounted for 75.5%, 10.3% and 3.4% of variance in time to weaning, respectively, together capturing 89.2% of total variance. Crucially, carnivory predicted the time point of early weaning in humans with remarkable precision, yielding a prediction error of less than 5% with a sample of forty-six human natural fertility societies as reference. Hence, carnivory appears to provide both a necessary and sufficient explanation as to why humans wean so much earlier than the great apes. While early weaning is regarded as essentially differentiating the genus Homo from the great apes, its timing seems to be determined by the same limited set of factors in humans as in mammals in general, despite some 90 million years of evolution. Our analysis emphasizes the high degree of similarity of relative time scales in mammalian development and life history across 67 genera from 12 mammalian orders and shows that the impact of carnivory on time to weaning in humans is quantifiable, and critical. Since early weaning yields shorter interbirth intervals and higher rates of reproduction, with profound effects on population dynamics, our findings highlight the emergence of carnivory as a process fundamentally determining human evolution.
- Chemical composition of modern and fossil Hippopotamid teeth and implications for paleoenvironmental reconstructions and enamel formation - Part 2: Alkaline earth elements as tracers of watershed hydrochemistry and provenance (2012)
- For reconstructing environmental change in terrestrial realms the geochemistry of fossil bioapatite in bones and teeth is among the most promising applications. This study demonstrates that alkaline earth elements in enamel of Hippopotamids, in particular Ba and Sr are tracers for water provenance and hydrochemistry. The studied specimens are molar teeth from Hippopotamids found in modern and fossil lacustrine settings of the Western Branch of the East African Rift system (Lake Kikorongo, Lake Albert, and Lake Malawi) and from modern fluvial environments of the Nile River. Concentrations in enamel vary by ca. two orders of magnitude for Ba (120–9336 μg g−1) as well as for Sr (9–2150 μg g−1). Concentration variations in enamel are partly induced during post-mortem alteration and during amelogenesis, but the major contribution originates from the variable water chemistry in the habitats of the Hippopotamids which is dominated by the lithologies and weathering processes in the watershed areas. Amelogenesis causes a distinct distribution of Ba and Sr in modern and fossil enamel, in that element concentrations increase along profiles from the outer rim towards the enamel-dentin junction by a factor of 1.3–1.5. These elements are well correlated with MgO and Na2O in single specimens, thus suggesting that their distribution is determined by a common, single process. Presuming that the shape of the tooth is established at the end of the secretion process and apatite composition is in equilibrium with the enamel fluid, the maturation process can be modeled by closed system Rayleigh crystallization. Enamel from many Hippopotamid specimens has Sr/Ca and Ba/Ca which are typical for herbivores, but the compositions extend well into the levels of plants and carnivores. Within enamel from single specimens these element ratios covary and provide a specific fingerprint of the Hippopotamid habitat. All specimens together, however, define subparallel trends with different Ba/Sr ranging from 0.1 to 3. This ratio varies on spatial and temporal scales and traces provenance signals as well as the fractionation of the elements in the hydrological cycle. Thus, Sr concentrations and Ba/Sr in enamel differentiate between habitats having basaltic or Archean crustal rocks as the ultimate sources of Sr and Ba. The provenance signal is modulated by climate change. In Miocene to Pleistocene enamel from the Lake Albert region, Ba/Sr decreases systematically with time from about 2 to 0.5. This trend can be correlated with changes in climate from humid to arid in vegetation from C3 to C4 biomass as well as with increasing evaporation of the lake water. The most plausible explanation is that with time, Ba mobility decreased relative to that of Sr. This can arise if preferential adsorption of Ba to clay and Fe-oxide-hydroxide is related to increasing aridification. Additionally, weathering solutions and lake water can become increasingly alkaline and barite becomes stable. In this case, Ba will be preferentially deposited on the watershed of Lake Albert and rivers with low Ba/Sr will feed the habitats of the Hippopotamids.
- A new golden frog species of the genus Diasporus (Amphibia, Eleutherodactylidae) from the Cordillera Central, western Panama (2012)
- We describe the frog species Diasporus citrinobapheussp. n. from the Cordillera Central of western Panama. The new species differs from all other species in its genus in coloration, disk cover and disk pad shape, skin texture, advertisement call, and size. It is most similar to Diasporus tigrillo, from which it differs in dorsal skin texture, relative tibia length, number of vomerine teeth, ventral coloration, dorsal markings, and relative tympanum size, and to Diasporus gularis, from which it can be distinguished by the lack of membranes between the toes, adult size, posterior thigh coloration, and position of the choanae. We provide data on morpho- logy, vocalization, and distribution of the new species, as well as brief information on its natural history.

Thursday, April 18, 2013
The Spring Prairie Fire Half-Marathon is just 16 days away and thousands of people are expected to fill downtown Wichita on the big day.
In light of the Boston bombings, race officials are taking a close look at the security plans for what is expected to be a huge event.
This is the first year there has been a Prairie Fire Spring Half-Marathon. It will start near the Hyatt Regency and so far about 2,000 runners are expected to run the half marathon alone. That doesn't include the 5k runners and all the spectators.
The half marathon will be held on May 5th, just 19 days after the Boston bombings.
"It changed the way we think about it obviously, I mean without question," Prairie Fire Race Director Bob Hanson said.
Race Director Bob Hanson's first order of business was to meet with law enforcement to go over the security plan already in place.
"We have security down there the night before as we set up and we have security all night long. Obviously those things are expensive but they're necessary," Hanson said.
Hanson says they also scrapped their plans to start the race with fireworks.
They made one other last minute change, a small addition to the official race T-shirt.
"We wanted to make a tribute to the runners and the people of Boston and we have that on the back of the shirt here," Hanson said.
In addition to adding the date of the Boston bombings to the t-shirt, a group of local runners will be doing a preview run of the course this Saturday at 7 A.M. They will be taking donations for the Boston "One Fund" to help those most affected by the bombings.

Hello All! My name is Annie and I am 39 yo going through my first IVF cycle.
I just had 3-5 day blasts transfered back on Tuesday. I'm just wondering if anyone out there in cyberspace has any success stories with such a thing. This 2ww is killing me and I need some happy thoughts to pick me up!
(The blasts were 3 of 15 fertilized and they were of grades AB, and one BB. I got to freeze 4 out of the deal. )
Me (32) DH (30)
A Wordy Blog
Thankful for every day
I've transferred 5 days blasts on 3 separate occasions:
#1: FET of 2 AB blasts = chemical pregnancy
#2: Fresh IVF transfer of 2 AA blasts = ectopic pregnancy
#3: FET of 1 AA and 1 AB blasts = singleton pregnancy
Best of luck to you!
yup but you just have to wait :-)
Ww put in 2 five day blasts and I am pregnant with 1 baby!

Interview with Cynicman about being a captain in Star Trek Online
Cynicman is a player of Cryptic Studios's MMO Star Trek Online. He plays a myriad number of characters including several with a Gothic romance look to them — elegantly displaying characteristics like Brahm Stoker's Dracula, Nosferatu, and other vampire-similar tropes.
He is a lapsed veteran, having been subscribed to STO before the switch to free-to-play. As a result, he has a perspective on the changes in the game and how it has affected the population from a slightly more longitudinal view.
Accompanying this interview, SiliconANGLE writer Kyt Dotson addresses some thoughts about the use of expression in virtual worlds and the Star Trek media phenomenon in general.

Making the viral rounds of Facebook, Twitter, Email, and good old non-virtual word of mouth is "Just a Little Heart Attack" – a hilarious video produced for the American Heart Association (AHA) showing a typical overworked, stressed out modern super mom having a heart attack while trying to to cope with the pressures of work and motherhood. The video, a cornerstone of the AHA's new Go Red for Women campaign, does a great service in highlighting how different heart attack symptoms may appear in women and how often women ignore them because they're not the traditional signs always depicted in movies and warning materials.
As the woman in the video staggers around the kitchen attempting to finish making her kids' lunches and get them off to school, she downplays her symptoms until she finally drops a plate and collapses. And even once she's lying on the floor and it dawns on her that she's in serious trouble, she speaks apologetically to the 911 dispatcher, explaining that she might have had a "little" heart attack. Ha, we say, hitting the "share" button.
But it's not so funny. The symptoms depicted in the video are pretty darn on-the-mark according to several recent studies, including one conducted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and published in the heart association's journal Circulation that asked women who'd had heart attacks to retroactively analyze their health and symptoms. Here, 1o often-missed symptoms women experience when having a heart attack.
1. Sweating or Feeling Overheated. Is it hot in here? Suddenly feeling your temperature spike, as if someone turned up the heat, can be a sign of heart attack. The actress in the video starts fanning herself and undoing the top buttons of her blouse as she gets red-faced and sweaty for no apparent reason. If you're perimenopausal or menopausal, these symptoms can mimic a hot flash, making them particularly difficult to recognize.
2. Indigestion or Nausea. Waves of nausea, stomach ache, cramps, and diarrhea are another sign reported by women after having a heart attack. If you suddenly begin feeling nauseous and sick to your stomach and can't think of any food-related reason for it, pay attention. Of course you'll likely attribute this symptom to stomach flu or food poisoning, but ask yourself if you've recently eaten anything iffy or been exposed to an intestinal bug.
3. Ear, Jaw, Neck, or Shoulder Pain. This is where the video is truly revealing. The actress rubs her jaw, neck and shoulder with a bewildered expression on her face, as if experiencing an inexplicable pain. Traditional heart attack warning materials describe sudden pain and in the chest, and movies always depict a heart attack sufferer clutching his chest with a stricken expression. Yet women more often than not don't experience the pain this way. Instead, many women say they felt a sensation of tightness running along their jaw and down the neck, and sometimes up to the ear. Numbness and pain may extend down to the shoulder and arm—particularly on the left side—or it may feel like a backache or pulled muscle in the neck and back.
4. Exhaustion or Fatigue. The woman in the video begins to visibly sway with exhaustion, as if she's so tired she'd like to sink to the ground, which she eventually does. More than 70 percent of women in the NIH study reported extreme fatigue in the month or months prior to their heart attacks. This was not just your run-of-the-mill tiredness—the kind you can power through—this was an overwhelming fatigue that sidelined them from their usual schedules for a few days at a time.
5. Sleeplessness or Insomnia. A feeling of being wired despite being exhausted is one of the telltale signs of heart attack. In the NIH study, many women described having unexplained insomnia, racing thoughts, and a feeling of being keyed up during the weeks that preceded their heart attack. They noticed the racing thoughts and "wired" feeling particularly before they fell sleep, or found themselves waking frequently and being unable to fall back asleep.
6. Stress and Anxiety. Stress has long been known to up the risk of heart attack. But too often women don't perceive the stress as unusual, since their lives are so pressured and harried all the time anyway. They tend to focus on the emotional experience instead, wondering if they're having psychological problems. According to the women in the NIH study, they felt anxious, stressed, and keyed up, noticeably more than usual. Moments before or during a heart attack, many women report a feeling they describe as "impending doom;" they're aware that something's drastically wrong and they can't cope, but they're not sure what's going on.
7. Shortness of Breath. Of the women in the NIH study, more than 40 percent remembered experiencing this symptom. One of the comments the women made is that they noticed they couldn't catch their breath while walking up the stairs or doing other daily tasks.
8. Dizziness or Lightheaded-ness. Feeling faint and shaky is one of the common effects of heart attack in women. You may even wonder if you're coming down with a virus, as the feeling can be similar to the sensation that often gets you to say "I think I need to lie down for awhile," when you have the flu.
9. Memory Loss and Inability to Concentrate. "What was I doing?" The woman in the video asks, stopping in the middle of the kitchen and looking around vaguely. Memory slips, fuzzy thinking, an inability to concentrate, and a feeling of spaciness can all leave you wondering if you're experiencing the onset of midlife memory and cognitive issues.
10. Pressure in the Chest. This last symptom is the most similar to a man's traditional heart attack, except the feeling in the chest is often described as pain and that's not how women experience it. Women are more likely to feel like a heavy weight is pressing down on them, or as if they can't breathe because something's compressing the lungs.
The other point this video makes with pointed humor is women's tendency to ignore their own needs – even when they're fairly dire – while trying to be "perfect" in others' eyes, often to a level of absurdity. The final ironic image in the AHA video is the woman, when told the ambulance will be there in two minutes, looking around in a panic at the trashed house and saying, "how about ten?"
The AHA is getting a lot of traction for this video — women are sharing it in droves — because it taps into an issue that's all too real: how we exhaust ourselves caring for others, yet take our own health for granted. We laugh as the woman in the video waves her husband off to work saying "I'm fine" because we can relate — we know what it feels like not to be able to ask for help even when it's desperately needed. The sad reality is that this is one of the key reasons heart attacks in women go dangerously unrecognized and under-treated. And it's not just women — these surprising signs of an unhealthy heart are missed in men and women alike.

PRODUCT REVIEW: Dannon Pure Strawberry/Blueberry Flavored Yogurt
Today I will be reviewing Dannon's Pure Strawberry and Blueberry flavored yogurts.
Rate: ★★★★★
Okay this is SUCH a yummy yogurt! I eat these almost everyday. I'm so sad we are almost out. My mom bought a HUGE box of these.
Now let's look at the ingredients…
Honestly, compared to so many other processed and packaged things, this isn't so bad.
It's under 10 ingredients, you can read all of the terms, and it's mostly just made up of milk, sugar, and water.
The only problem I see with this is that they probably used regular table sugar which isn't as healthy, but again, there are worse products out there.
They are relatively small portions (maybe what a real sized portion of yogurt is supposed to look like), but if you eat it with some granola and fruit, it's a great way to squeeze in a fast breakfast if you don't have the time!
I was surprised to see that it has 5g of protein in such a small serving.
I was also a little surprised by the sugar amount, but compared to regular flavored yogurt, it's a pretty decent amount.
Overall, I love this yogurt and definitely recommend it if you have trouble getting breakfast into your mornings :) Enjoy!

"Back in the 1960s (Ed: when he was a youth), the odds of being where I am today would have been very small indeed. Yet, with every successive step, the odds kept changing in my favour, and these life lessons made all the difference."
I am writing this post so that I don't forget such an insightful way of measuring success but share it with so many people as I can.
And why is it insightful? It is because judging people relatively on the scale of success is an attitude shared by many. Mr Murthy's expression tells us that such a judgement is always flawed because different persons begin their journey on incomparable starting points and proceed with contrasting turns of fortune. In other words, "the odds of success" at any point of time are radically different for different people. We can thus measure success only to the degree by which the subject has overcome outcomes of failure by his own choices and actions.
The idea is indeed very simple but so many of us fail to internalise it. For instance, many students with privileged background mock those who had to study in vernacular schools and are thus not conversant with the English language. The insult is very often covert, in the form of insinuations, side remarks and un-acknowledgement of ideas or sometimes of existence.
Take debates for example. So many debates proceed with one speaker using clever lines/sarcastic comments/flowery language but almost no substance in his arguments. The result is a hearty laugh, a distraction from the issue at hand and frequently a subconsciously collective assignment of lower status to the opposite party. The 'eloquent' party generally ends up gleeful and all the more convinced of his right to blabber and impress the world with his intelligence. He begins the process as a fool and ends up as a bigger fool. His pseudo-intellectual spree continues, sometimes indefinitely, punctuated by occasions where another more eloquent party gives him a most deserved kick of his own medicine. But otherwise, our silver-tongued hero lives happily as we can see from so many people around us who have made a career out of this sham, the sole purpose of their existence and almost elevated it to a rogue form of art.
But that was the funny part. The sad part comes from the inarticulate party who, unless he is an extrovert, slides into his cocoon and misses out on his rightful self-development through trial and error.
The example was just one of the many. The same thought process applies to rich students mocking (covertly, its always cloaked and underhand) the poor; city-dwellers mocking those from towns and villages; fashionable mocking the supposedly unfashionable; and supposedly intelligent mocking earnest and innocent students. We see so many cases of such victims recede into inferiority and miss out on their rightful honour. It's almost a crime, a low trick by the perpetuators to create barriers to honest competition. But then as one of my friends suggests, it's also a test of the strength of victim's character. Whether it is strong enough to see the buffoonery for what it is and deal with it in the right spirit.
So coming back to Mr Murthy's idea of measuring success – I admire him for the way he puts it. He did not give a list of the grand things he has done but decided to put it the way he did. Not that I would have hated him, if he had done the former. Just that his expression suggests a development of mind which is commendable to say the least. And it is also exemplary. I am sure many of us would do well to examine our "success" on the test of his expression and see things for what they are. But again, that would require brutal self-honesty which God did not see fit to give to a lot of us.
Nevertheless, examining positions on Mr Murthy's statement would certainly help victims see the objective truth. If they can recognize the ludicrous psychological game which is played against them and see their criminal's "success" and "superiority" in all its vulgar nakedness, if it can give them hope and confidence to let the dogs bark for all they may – the purpose of this post would be more than served.

Bog turtle needs help
The Bog turtle, a common house pet, is endangered in Connecticut. The greatest cause of population decline: captivity.
Mon, Nov 16, 2009 at 11:49 AM
Several of the eight species of turtles in Connecticut are endangered, the smallest of which is the Bog turtle. Only 3-3.5 inches in size, Bog turtles are found in scattered colonies in western Connecticut. When hatched, the baby turtles are only one inch long. The mother typically lays about two or three eggs, sometimes up to five, in June. They hatch during the summer, from late July to early September, after 7-8 weeks of incubation.
During the winter, Bog turtles hibernate several feet under the surfce of bogs. They need humidity and mossy cover for the summer months and are very sensitive to environmental change. The turtles are continuously being pushed farther and farther out of their natural habitats, wetlands, which are continuously being filled in and used for newer purposes. Bog turtles have been spotted in five different towns in western Connecticut. They are prey to several larger animals including racoons, foxes, skunks and dogs.
In 1973, the Bog turtle was protected by legislation drafted by the Convention on International Trade and Endangered Species. They drafted this act making it illegal to remove bog turtle and their eggs from the wild. The Bog Turtle is currently on the list to become a federally endangered species and is currently federally threatened.
Federal - Endangered Species Act of 1973. State - Connecticut General Statutes Sec. 26-311 and Connecticut Regulation 26-66-14a.
Greatest causes of population decline
1. Inbreeding, due to small, isolated populations from loss of habitat.
2. Capture and captivity. Bog turtles are one of the best known species of turtles to be kept as pets, so here is one place you can help. When looking for your next pet at the store, opt for a gerbil, a hamster or a fish. While many turtles are not officially endangered, their numbers are declining, mostly from capture, followed by the small number of offspring and high numbers of obstacles and predators.
Quick facts
Size: 3-3.5 inches
Life span: Up to 40 years
Identification: A Bog turtle can be identified by the red and orange area on its head and red and yellow on the upper shell
Natural habitat: Western Connecticut -- bogs, marshes, wetlands

Peach Pie with Cornstarch or Arrowroot Thickening – Gluten-Free
Peach pie is an essential. Now I make it with gluten-free pie crust, but it's still peach pie. Just the smell of ripening peaches in the kitchen makes me smile.
Coming from the Texas Hill Country, I must have loved peaches before I was even old enough to remember.
The recipe below is for a standard size 9-inch pie plate, but the pie pictured is in a 5-inch pan because I divided it into several smaller dishes. I often make smaller ones now that we don't have kids in the house.
Al wishes I'd still make a full-size regular pie just for him. I didn't make him a 9-inch one this time, but I did make him one with a regular crust. Peach pie is harder for him to find at bakeries or restaurants, so I spoiled him this time. It complicates things a lot, though.
I made him a regular-crust pie with an oil crust, which is rolled between two pieces of wax paper or parchment. That original recipe is in my old Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook that I've been using since the dark ages, since way before I knew about celiac disease. (The new BH&G Ringbound Cookbook still has the recipe.) It taught me about the ease of clean-up when the crust is rolled between wax paper. No flinging flour all over the counter to keep the crust from sticking.
Even so, I have to be exceptionally careful not to toss the regular flour around while measuring or mixing it, since it hangs in the air for so long afterwards. See these guidelines on baking both GF and regular in the same kitchen from the Gluten Intolerance Group.
I also reduce the risk of cross-contamination by making the gluten-free crust first and getting that pie into the oven before starting the regular crust. Also, I mix and roll the regular crust in a different area of the kitchen. Across the kitchen from where I usually work, we have a countertop for handling regular breads, for sandwich-making, toasting and the occasional piecrust. This helps a lot, but success still is tricky.
Most of the time if my husband wants a particular baked item, I'll buy him one from the bakery and then bake my own gluten-free version.
For my gluten-free crust this time, I used The Gluten-Free Homemaker's recipe for Multi-Purpose Pastry Dough, although I used 2 tablespoons of butter and olive oil for the rest. (This last minute substitution happened when I found I had no more butter! Ack! Everything else was ready, so I went with the experiment. It worked!) The texture was easy to work with and tasted good – not as flaky as some pastry, but still very good. (That might be a good reason to keep some butter-flavored Crisco on hand, since it would be an acceptable substitute.)
Although I've tried, I have not found any substitute to make a fruit pie into a low carb dish. As a result, I don't eat peach pie very often, but when I do, I make it so it tastes right. This filling is also lactose-free if you substitute a lactose-free margarine for the butter. Here's how I like it.
- 2 9-Inch Pie Crusts, Gluten-free, top and bottom crust
- 4 Cups Peaches, sliced
- 3/4 Cup Sugar, or more to taste (as much as 1 cup), or 1/2 cup Agave Nectar
- 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch or Arrowroot
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla extract or Vanilla powder, optional
- 1 Tablespoon Butter, optional (or substitute your favorite dairy-free margarine)
Start with ripe peaches. Wash, peel, pit and slice them into a bowl.
Mix the fruit, cornstarch or arrowroot, sugar or agave, and vanilla in bowl.
Line a glass or ceramic pie plate with one crust. If you're using a metal or foil pie pan, you might set it inside a glass or ceramic pan in the oven; the crust will bake better.
Fill with the fruit mixture.
Dot with little bits of the butter.
Cover with the top crust; seal the edge thoroughly. I fold a tiny bit of the bottom crust up over the edge of the top one, then press together well, all the way around.
A fruit pie is not done until the juices bubble, so flute the edges high.
You might also put a larger pan, like a pizza pan or, better yet, a pie splatter oven guard (which has a hole in the center so heat reaches the bottom of the pie pan better), on the oven rack under it to catch possible spills.
Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. You can be as basic or as decorative as you like.
Bake in preheated 350 deg.F. oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until juices form bubbles that burst slowly.
This gluten-free recipe is gluten-free (no wheat, barley or rye). Be sure to check your ingredients lists every time you buy to verify that what you're using is (still) gluten-free. If you use a casein-free margarine or shortening, this pie can also be casein-free, dairy-free and lactose-free. While it's one of my gluten-free recipes that is safe for those with celiac (coeliac) disease, gluten intolerance and gluten sensitivity, it's also well-liked by people with no food allergies. Since it's a wheat-free recipe, it is suitable for a wheat-free diet.
What is your favorite fruit pie?
If You Are Gluten-Intolerant or Have A Loved One Who Is, Then Please, Read This:
Are you tired of struggling to discover how to successfully live a gluten-free life? It took years for me to figure it out on my own.
My latest book, "Eating & Living A Gluten-Free Diet… The Official Guide" contains almost everything I've learned about eating and living gluten-free in the past 13 plus years.
Learning how to live gluten-free is hard to do. Especially, if you have significant symptoms like I do. I have digestive symptoms and, trust me when I say this, it can get really bad if I accidentally eat or drink something with gluten in it.
Yes it's true, I wrote this book to make money…
… But, I also wrote it to help others, like you or your loved one, who are gluten intolerant. I remember how difficult it was figuring out how to avoid gluten-based reactions in all of the situations in my life.
I paid for what I know with pain, illness and misery. And, I want to share what I know with you so you can hopefully avoid living through what I had to endure… I rarely have a gluten reaction any more because I've learned how to avoid them and I believe that you can too!
Check out my latest book by clicking the book cover below. I believe that you will be very glad that you did :-)!

Modernica shipped the wrong pendant, but Ylighting's customer service did its best to ship the correct pendant as soon as possible. The criss cross pattern is wonderful to see when lit. Highly recommend multiples of the pendant!
By:victoria , Designer (SF,CA)
While we have many of the nelson lamps in various parts of our home, we wanted a light that really made an impact and also was in line with the balance of the home... the criss cross is an amazing shape and architecturally in line with our home and completed our dinning room.
By:Vivian V. , Designer (madison, wi, usa)
Beautiful pendant. Nice warm glow, and perfect for our breakfast nook in our old house.
By:L.A. , Homeowner (Denver)
As a dealer of Mid Century Modern furnishing the Nelson lamps are a staple. Classic, simple, beautiful, and easy to install. The order was placed on Sunday and was delivered on Wednesday. Very nice turnaround and a happy customer.
By:Joshua N. , Homeowner (MO, USA)
This is my second Criss Cross lamp. Beautiful lines, quality construction. I purchased an open-box at a discount- it's in perfect condition, couldn't tell the box had been opened. It looks great hanging next to my saucer. So I'm on my way to a lovely collection. It is a little bigger than I envisioned and since I have low ceilings (standard height- 1950's house), created a fuller profile than I imagined. Nonetheless- beautiful.
By:Anonymous , Homeowner
This lamp is going above our eames molded plywood chairs in the bay window of our living room. We really wanted the "propeller" version but it was too big. I liked the cross hatching on this one more than the plain one. It has yet to be installed but my friend has one and says that the George Nelson lamps give the most amazing light. Very excited!

- 1 -- pork tenderloin (about 1 pound), partially frozen
- 1 -- (15 1/4-ounce) can Bartlett pears in heavy syrup
- 1/2 cup apricot preserves
- 1/4 cup white onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons brandy
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely chopped or grated
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup golden raisins (optional)
- 16 to 18 -- (6-inch) wooden skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes
- To make relish, drain pears, reserving juice; chop and set aside. Pour pear juice into 1-quart saucepan; stir in preserves, onion, brandy, ginger and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Boil gently for 8 to 10 minutes or until liquid is reduced and slightly thickened. Remove from heat; allow mixture to cool to room temperature.
- Meanwhile, using a sharp knife, slice pork tenderloin into 1/4-inch-thick medallions; place in a resealable plastic bag. Pour about 1/2 cup cooled juice mixture over pork in bag; seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Gently stir together chopped pears, remaining juice mixture and raisins; refrigerate until serving time.
- When ready to cook, spray broiler pan with cooking spray and preheat broiler. Discard the marinade.
- Thread pork medallions onto skewers. Place pork skewers on broiler pan about 7 inches from broiler. Broil for 3 minutes per side. Serve with Brandy Pear Relish.
Note: If apricot pieces are too large, use kitchen shears to cut into small pieces. Soaking wooden skewers in water helps to keep them from charring under the broiler.

Vandals Defecate Inside North Carolina Church, Write 'God Is A Lie' On Others
ANSONVILLE, N.C. (CBS Charlotte) — Vandals desecrated over a dozen churches Sunday night in at least three neighboring counties, breaking stained glass windows, writing graffiti, and even defecating on the altar of one church.
The destruction at each of the churches in Anson, Stanly and Rowan counties was discovered Monday morning, which implies to officers that these acts may have also been coordinated and executed at synchronized times by multiple parties.
The messages of hate written in graffiti on the churches are also similar, according to investigating authorities.
The damage to Cedar Hill AME Zion Church was especially severe, according to Anson County Sheriff Tommy Allen.
"There was graffiti, a lot of the f-word and the n-word, and (phrases such as) 'God is a lie,' and 'house of the Devil,' as well as a swastika … 'Go back to Africa' and those type of things," he said.
Allen added, "They broke into the building, and … if you could turn it over, it was turned over, (and) stained glass windows were broken from the inside out as they threw chairs, speakers and sound equipment through the windows."
The altar of the church was also destroyed.
"The podium was turned over and broken," Allen said, adding that more graffiti was found inside, and a fire extinguisher had been set off. "Someone defecated on the table (at the altar), and stuck a cross in it."
A child's headstone was also thrown through the church's window.
The other vandalized churches in neighboring counties had graffiti with similar messages scrawled across the outside, with themes alluding to devil worship, racism and anti-Semitism.
"We're looking at all possibilities, and we have a few leads," Allen said. "But there's no common theme. It's not just (one message) … there are all kinds of different signs, even some gang signs."
According to WBTV, 12 churches in Stanly County were vandalized. And in Rowan County, an estimated $10,000 in damage was reported to Organ Lutheran Church in Salisbury.
"I've been doing this for almost 30 years, and I've never seen anything like this," Allen said. "Nothing even close to it."
Rev. Renee Bethea of Cedar Hill AME Zion Church said that the faith of the congregation is helping everyone cope.
"Prayer, the realization that whoever did this has a lot of pain, hurting, a lot of anger, in some ways it's just evil," Rev. Bethea told WBTV. "Whoever did this has a story and it's full of pain and anger."

Voices heard on A50 plans in Uttoxeter
Posted: May 07, 2014|
MORE than a thousand residents have come forward to make their voices heard on multi-million pounds to improve the A50 - with changes made to the plans as a result.
Staffordshire County Council said that residents, businesses and commuters are helping to shape the ambitious plans to help improve the A50 Growth Corridor, which are expected to recreate more jobs for local people in the process.
The council held two public consultations in Uttoxeter inviting people to have their say on the plans and around 900 people walked through the door.
More than 40 per cent of those who attended exhibitions said they used the A50 on a daily basis and 68 per cent agreed that steps needed to be taken to tackle current congestion problem faced by commuters.
A further 350 people had their say by submitting their comments online.
As a result of the consultation, the council said that after listening to what people had to say they had agreed to some amendments to the original plans.
These include the retention of Parks Restaurant, improvements to cycle and foot paths and it will also carry out a detailed traffic review.
The authority said it is proposing to improve the trunk road to support the creation of around 8,000 jobs, the development of 1,800 homes, ease congestion and improve road safety.
Following a public consultation and exhibitions in Uttoxeter the county council is now using their feedback to finalise its planning application for the first of two projects.
Project A will focus on the improvements to the west of Uttoxeter and will see the creation of a new junction to support more housing and a new business park, while improving accessibility and safety.
If approved, work could start on this project in December 2014.
Mark Winnington, the authority's cabinet member for economy and infrastructure, said he was delighted so many people had taken the time to take part in the consultation.
The councillor said: "These projects are excellent news for communities and businesses alike and I am delighted so many people have taken the time to share their views.
"In the long-term the improvements will help support the creation of jobs, cut congestion and make the A50 safer for travel, so it is important we all work together to reap the maximum benefits of these projects.
"The majority of people are in favour of the investment and almost 70 per cent of those who gave us their feedback at exhibitions agreed action needs to be taken to tackle the current congestion on the A50 in particular.
"Their views are shaping our planning application for Project A and will continue to work closely with residents when it comes to looking at the second project in greater detail."
If Project A is approved and completed, highways engineers will then examine proposals for Project B which will focus on improved safety and reduction of traffic delays by the removal of two roundabouts and the creation of a new junction to the east of Uttoxeter.
Andrew Griffiths, MP for Burton and Uttoxeter, said: "The A50 is a key corridor connecting Stoke-on-Trent to Derby and this investment is much needed not only to support the local economy but to help make this busy dual carriageway safer for motorists.
"Delivering improvements to infrastructure on this scale is course not without its challenges and it is important that the views of local people are listened to and continue to help shape proposals and the plan's progress."
A planning application is due to be submitted on Project A this month – with Project B being explored at a later date.
More information on the investment is available by visiting the website at www.staffordshire.gov.uk/a50growthcorridor

First off, if this thread gets deleted it'll prove that it doesn't wanna hear anything negative about Bryan and that it's full of Bryan marks... I'm making points here.
I don't hate Bryan. He's probably the best in ring wrestler wwe has, and i think hes a top midcarder/ emergency main eventer. Maybe win another world title..... BUT I can't take him serious as a face of the company/facing Brock lesnar. Bryan still has no mic skills to be a main guy in wwe. He's also getting fat which isn't good he needs to get back in shape.
How many 5 star matches has he had?? Only 2 IMO. Extreme rules with sheamus and MITB with punk.
How people are saying he's better than angle and Michaels is absolutely laughable.
Now, you can like Bryan and all, but how can you not sayhe's overrated in the IWC?? Again I DON'T HATE BRYAN.
A lot of what you say I can understand 100%. His mic-skills are not amazing but they are a very polar topic, where some will like and "get", and others will hate and "not get".
As far as the bolded part. He IS better as a WRESTLER than Michaels and Angle for sure when you consider his FULL body of work, not just WWE. Look at ROH, Dragon Gate, Pro Wrestling Noah, etc.. and see how many matches he had that were 4 stars or above, and you'll notice that over 95% of his matches are which validates why critical wrestling sites like "Wrestling Observer" has given him "Best Technical Wrestler" from 2004-2013, and "Most Outstanding Wrestler" from 2005-2010.
"Return to me again empty-handed, and I will bathe the starways in your blood."
Thanos is only beaten because he allows himself to be, and he only allows himself to be beaten because, in spite of his ambition to attain ultimate power, he sub-consciously knows that he's not worthy of it.

The New Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract

moreWhen Bill James published his original Historical Baseball Abstract in 1985, he produced an immediate classic, hailed by the Chicago Tribune as the "holy book of baseball." Now, baseball's beloved "Sultan of Stats" (The Boston Globe) is back with a fully revised and updated edition for the new millennium.
Like the original, The New Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract is really several books in one. The Game provides a century's worth of American baseball history, told one decade at a time, with energetic facts and figures about How, Where, and by Whom the game was played. In The Players, you'll find listings of the top 100 players at each position in the major leagues, along with James's signature stats-based ratings method called "Win Shares," a way of quantifying individual performance and calculating the offensive and defensive contributions of catchers, pitchers, infielders, and outfielders. And there's more: the Reference section covers Win Shares for each season and each player, and even offers a Win Share team comparison. A must-have for baseball fans and historians alike, The New Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract is as essential, entertaining, and enlightening as the sport itself. less
