|A missed catch by Matt Carpenter and an errant throw by Yadier Molina following a wild pitch compounded a costly seventh inning and helped the Nats to a pair of unearned runs against Michael Wacha.

|The Cardinals placed right-hander Joe Kelly, who has a strained left hamstring, on the 15-day disabled list and optioned right-handed reliever Keith Butler to Triple-A Memphis. The team also announced plans to recall rookie right-handers Eric Fornataro and Jorge Rondon from Memphis in time for Thursday's series opener against the Nationals in Washington.More» Kelly exits the game with an injury
|Though the Cardinals are unsure just how long a recovery is ahead for Joe Kelly, who sustained a left hamstring strain on Wednesday and is on the 15-day disabled list, the organization will have to find another fifth starter for at least the next two times through the rotation.More» Martinez fans four, holds Twins to one run

|Tony Cruz's role -- to back up the catcher with the most starts since 2005 -- is largely a thankless one. The Cardinals, in essence, hope he sees minimal time on the field, as that's an indication of starter Yadier Molina's status.More» Cruz drops an RBI single into right field

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2014 Chevrolet Express 3500 Passenger
By KBB.com Editors
When it comes to moving big payloads, few vehicles are as up to the task as the full size 2013 Chevrolet Express Van. Dressed for passenger service, the Express Van crushes the largest of SUVs, providing seating for up to 15 people. Switch to the cargo van and the Express Van offers up a massive 285-cubic-foot cargo hold. It also can be outfitted as a rolling workstation. The 2013 Chevy Express Van also makes for a pretty nice conversion van. Knowing that no matter what the mission, the Express Van will need to be prepared, Chevrolet has given its van a beefed-up suspension, available extended-length cabs, a choice of gasoline or diesel engines and even the option of all-wheel drive (AWD).
If you need a van that can handle multiple tasks and take a beating, a front-drive converted minivan with a V6 isn't going to cut it. Chevrolet designed the Express Van with the sole purpose of moving big payloads, be they passengers or cargo.
If you need a vehicle that is maneuverable in small spaces and doesn't need to hold more than eight passengers, a minivan or an SUV makes a better choice. Those who use their van as a mobile workshop might find the taller cabins of the Nissan NV or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter a better fit.
out of 24Fuel Economy
out of 30Horsepower
The 2013 Chevy Express Van now offers an available navigation system, rearview camera and rear park assist.
Driving Impressions With only 195 horsepower on hand, the Chevy's 2013 Express Cargo Van's V6 engine might offer the best fuel economy on paper, but we're willing to bet that the amount...of work this engine has to do to keep a fully loaded van moving will likely return figures more in line with the more powerful and preferable 310-horsepower 5.3-liter V8. Of course, really big jobs are best tackled either by the 6.0-liter V8 engine or the 6.6-liter Duramax diesel V8. With its 525 lb-ft of torque, there isn't much that Duramax can't haul, and its longevity and reliability will likely appeal to fleet managers trying to get the most out of their investments. On a 3500 model with the Duramax engine, Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) is 9,900 pounds with a 9,700-pound tow rating.
The Chevy Express Van's side doors provide easy access to the cargo area without having to climb in from the back.
Consider the 2013 Express Van to be a jack-of-all-trades, one that can carry up to 15 people, boasts 284.4 cubic feet of cargo space, and tows up to 9,900 pounds.
In its purest form, the Chevy Express Van for 2013 is a 2-person rig with a massive metal cave residing behind the very supportive high-back front bucket seats. An empty canvas, the Express Van's cargo bay can be configured by any aftermarket customizer, or by taking advantage of Chevy's many option packages that include flip-up access panels that allow easy access from outside the van to the rack-mounted tools inside. At the opposite end of the spectrum is the Express Passenger Van that allows for such luxuries as power windows, additional seating, carpet, navigation, rear air conditioning and Bluetooth.Exterior
Let's face it, when the ultimate interior configuration of a vehicle is basically a giant elongated cube, there's not a whole lot of leeway for shaping the exterior. Still, Chevy has modernized its big van with rounded corners, high-mounted taillights and stylish truck-like wheels. The 2013 Chevy Express Van's grille may be its most ornate feature, resembling the trademark look that adorns Chevy's big pickup trucks. Door options include sliding or split swing-out side doors, and split rear doors with or without windows. Handy exterior accessories include a roof-mounted ladder rack, roof-rack cross-rail system, and mud flaps.
Listed among the Chevrolet Express Cargo Van's standard features are a V6 engine, vinyl flooring and upholstery, air conditioning, a step-up rear bumper and manually operated exterior mirrors. Frills are not part of the deal, though the Passenger Van does jazz things up some, with a V8 engine and cloth seats. All 2013 Chevy Express models are equipped with stability control, 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes and dual front airbags. Passenger vans features side-curtain airbags covering the first three rows.
Creature comforts are not what you'd call plentiful on the 2013 Chevy Express Van, so shoppers will need to look to the options list if they want power windows and door locks or, if they're really feeling crazy, a radio. There are also choices of engines, light-duty (Express 1500) or heavy-duty (Express 2500 and 3500) models, body lengths and various packages. Some of the more noteworthy options include navigation, a rearview camera, rear park assist, Bluetooth connectivity and the most recent version of OnStar.
If fuel economy is a primary concern, a 2013 Chevrolet Express 1500 Cargo Van equipped with the base 4.3-liter V6 is a buyer's best choice. That 6-cylinder is expected to average 20 mpg on the highway, but with 195 horsepower, it's not exactly a powerhouse. Though less efficient, the Express Van's four available V8s promise to get most any job done with up to 324 horsepower and 525 lb-ft of torque. There is also a CNG (compressed natural gas) conversion for the 6.0-liter gasoline engine that includes hardened valve seats and a special 3-tank fuel-tank configuration. The 3500 vans can be equipped with stump-pulling power of the 6.6-liter Duramax diesel.

Chevrolet has set the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the 2013 Express Van at just over $25,000 for the base model and nearly $50,000 for a fully loaded version. Prices are always changing, so before agreeing to a deal, make sure to check the KBB Fair Purchase Price to determine what buyers in your area are actually paying. Over time, the 2013 Chevrolet Express Van is expected to hold its value better than its major competitor, the Ford E-Series van, but faces a still unknown challenge from the new Nissan NV.

"Overall, this is the best van ever. I have owned and driven nothing but full sized vans starting with a 1974 Dodge Tradesman B100 followed by a 1978 ChevyVan 20; a 1981 Ford Econoline; a 1987 Dodge B250; a 1999 Chevy Express 2500 and now my current 2008 Chevy Express 2500. The '74 Dodge will always be my favorite van! Of all the remaining only the 2008 Chevy Express comes close. I love this van. It almost handles as good as a sports car...gets a little sloppy and unstable at speeds above 90 MPH! When loaded, also takes a little bit longer to stop. I always drive hard and fast. This van has had no major repairs needed - only routine maintenance. I would recommend this year and model to anyone interested in a full sized van. Lightly loaded, long distance mileage around 16-17 MPG, hot-rodding in stop-n-go traffic gets 11-13 MPG."

"not a bad van ,i changed tie rods , throttle body and starter at 200.000 , but no other problems . no rpm gauge and that's not a good idea when we talk a work car . the interior/comfort is the worst part at this car.seats are uncomfortable , window handle is hurting your knee ,driver seat to close to the cars body , makes you feel squashed . i can go on and on . i think none of the big companies ( gmc, ford ) seems to think workers are drivers also when it comes to interior . they think big engines , more space , more hp but don't care about the driver . i spend at least 3 hours driving every day and i can use a little bit of comfort ."

"Bought this van 2 years ago with the purpose of using it as a carpet cleaning van. Did this for short period and became second vehicle for family. The 6.0 litre V8 is amazing. Very powerful and smooth running. Fuel milage is not too good. 12 miles per gal. in city and maybe 16 mpg on highway. Paint is coming off several areas. Overal quality of vehicle not too good. Drivetrain is great. 6.0 litre engine is phenominal. Fast and has a ton of torque. Much nicer than Fords engines. Also much better than Chevy's 5.0 V8 as well. I wouldn't want it with the 305 V8 as it is woefully underpowered. It handles somewhat better than similar equipped Ford E150s. Likely newer models have improved in overall quality. I have seen newer Chevy vans and their paint stays on. That is a glairing fault on the 2003 model Chevy Vans."

He finished the game with two points, and it's no wonder the Lakers are 15-17.
"He just didn't have a good game," D'Antoni told the media, but couldn't the same be said about D'Antoni?
Gasol told reporters he's at his best when he plays down low and explores other areas on the court.
He said his assignment now is to hang around the free-throw line, his playing time now based on whether he makes his jump shots or misses.
It has already become apparent D'Antoni is not a great communicator. Antawn Jamison has said as much, and Gasol seems to have no idea what D'Antoni wants from him.
D'Antoni operates as if alone on an island. He said he would rather not talk to the media, but required to do so, he said, he will usually lie.
When he arrived, he did so with a light heart and a quick quip. But as he has continued to drag his repaired knee around the country, the medication by his own admission sometimes dulling his senses, he has lost that light heart and become more distant with each loss.
As head coach he remains the central spokesman for the franchise and the great hope for fans for better days ahead.
But he has fallen short here as well. He no longer says, "I don't know" in answer to most questions, but he has already said if he fails, he has a guaranteed contract and will be playing golf again.
It's a great attitude if designed to protect him from getting hurt again, as he was in New York after quitting.
But if he really wanted this job, so much so that he was willing to do it on a painful knee and drugs, then it was on him to build a relationship with both Lakers fans and players.
And how goes that? Do you have confidence in D'Antoni that he has a plan to fix the Lakers' woes? Do you think the players believe they are headed in the right direction?
If the answer is "no" to both questions, then the initial thought process around here that D'Antoni was the wrong answer to what puzzles the Lakers still appears to be the correct one.

Rachel Razza, Ph.D., assistant professor, Department of Child & Family Studies in the Falk College, was named a Syracuse University 2014 Teaching Recognition Award as part of the Laura J. and L. Douglas Meredith Professorship Program. This honor recognizes excellence in teaching innovation, effectiveness in communicating with students and the lasting value of courses. She will be honored at a ceremony on April 21. A member of the Falk College since 2007, the primary focus of Dr. Razza's scholarly work is children's self-regulation, a multifaceted construct that encompasses a variety of skills underlying children's ability to monitor cognitive strategies and adapt behavior to fit situational demands. Her work explores associations among different facets of self-regulation, contextual predictors of self-regulation, and implications of various self-regulatory skills for children's school readiness and later school success. She is particularly interested in specifying these pathways among at-risk children, as these children are particularly at-risk for self-regulatory deficits.
A day-long conference exploring the epidemic of violence and the long-term wounds it inflicts on the children who grow up in its shadow in the Syracuse community was sponsored by the Falk College's Department of Child and Family Studies (CFS) in March. The event featured community experts who deal with violence and trauma. Each guest speaker offered different perspectives on related problems and solutions. Due to overwhelming interest from persons interested in the well-being of children, youth and families, including teachers, school administrators, counselors, criminal justice professionals, agency staff, advocates, volunteers, service providers, social workers, and health care professionals, the conference sessions are now available online for viewing using the links below.
CFS professor of practice, Colleen Baish Cameron, whose professional credentials include work as a Certified Child Life Specialist, worked closely with community leaders who are deeply involved with and committed to trauma response in our community, including: Terrence Byrd-El, assistant director, Syracuse Trauma Response Team and creator of the "Man to Man" self-development program for young men between the ages of 11-16, Kimber Gunn, who has been working in the youth development field for over twenty years and Arnett Haygood-El, Syracuse Model Neighborhood Facility Inc., Southwest Community, who has worked professionally for 15 years assisting low income, at-risk youth and their families to overcome the barriers of growing up in poverty. A graduate student at Syracuse University working on a master's degree in Child and Family Health in a Global Community, his studies are focused on the effects of community violence on urban youth development. Falk faculty involved in the project also include CFS department chair and associate professor, Robert Moreno; assistant professor of public health, Dessa Bergen-Cico; associate professor of social work, Keith A. Alford; Mary Kish, internship coordinator, and; Sydnee Corridors, CFS student.
Students in the Falk College's new graduate course, FST 700—Gender, Food, and Rights attended the United Nations' (UN) annual Committee on the Status of Women (CSW) meetings over Spring Break. Led by food studies professor, Anne Bellows, three students, Melanie Shaffer-Cutillo, Karen Cordano, and Stacia Martelli canvassed official meetings on issues related to women's human right to adequate food and nutrition as official delegates of the non-governmental organization, Food First Information Action Network (FIAN) International. Bellows is an editorial board member and contributor to the FIAN worldwide publication, "The Right to Food and Nutrition Watch."
The Gender, Food and Rights course the students are enrolled in advances inquiry introduced in another Falk food studies course, FST 403/603—Right to Food and Nutrition and foregrounds a focus on the relationship between the human right to adequate food and nutrition and women's rights. The class operates from an investigation into the question, when so many call for the inclusion of women into food and nutrition programs and policy making, why do women and girls continue to experience hunger and malnutrition at greater rates than do men across diverse demographic groups experiencing right to food violations?
Students enrolled in SPM 300—The History of Sport have spent the 2013-14 academic year focusing their research efforts on sports that have been adapted to transform and enrich the lives of athletes with physical disabilities. In the fall semester, students worked as a research team, each one taking a specific assignment that became their final projects. In the spring semester, these projects have provided the collected body of research to produce a documentary film entitled Changing Sports, Changing Lives.
Falk College associate professor of nutrition, Tanya Horacek, R.D., Ph.D., and Syracuse University are part of a 14-university team that has received a $4.9 million grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to empower college students to create obesity prevention programs for their peers as well as students in elementary and high schools. The campaign, which will launch in August, is entitled, "Get Fruved." It will harness the peer-to-peer interactions of more than 1,000 students who will work together to create interventions so students become more physically active. "Fruved" is a term that refers to fruits and vegetables. The behaviors students will address include healthy eating and physical activity as well as managing stress, emotional well-being, and the importance of positive social support systems. The students will also be advocates for environmental change on their campuses to support positive health behaviors. This project purposefully uses a non-diet approach to weight management and instead focuses on promoting healthy behavior and positive healthy body images.
Falk Family Professor of Public Health, Brooks Gump, Ph.D., M.P.H., will continue leading a program this summer for undergraduate veterans and non-veterans (five openings for each) interested in becoming trauma researchers. Gump was one of six faculty from three upstate New York universities (Syracuse University, SUNY Upstate, and SUNY Oswego) who ran this Research Education for Undergraduates (REU) program in 2012 and 2013. As one of several on-going interdisciplinary collaborations in the Falk College, the REU program includes faculty members Keith A. Alford, Ph.D., ACSW, associate professor of social work and Dessa Bergen-Cico, Ph.D., CHES, CAS, assistant professor, public health. The $285,679 grant recently awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) will support the REU program for two more years, which is now recruiting undergraduate veterans and non-veterans to participate. Students can earn $3,000 for participating in an intensive four-week summer program from June 2-27, 2014 at Syracuse University.
If you are one of our newly admitted undergraduate students, Congratulations! You should feel very proud that your hard work and persistence have paid off. We'd like to invite you to attend one of our admitted student receptions. Meet faculty, staff and students and discover more about Syracuse University. We'll treat you to your name up in lights on the Carrier Dome scoreboard plus lunch on the turf and a list of options including: a student life expo, residence hall tours, campus tours and more. It's a big decision, so come ask your questions and find out why so many people choose to Go Orange!
We'll be in New York City on Saturday, April 5th at Syracuse University's Lubin House in Manhattan, if you can't make it to campus. Our on-campus receptions will be held:
April 7, 11, 14 and 21. And be sure to ask about the overnight "Own the Dome" event on April 13th.
The Department of Child and Family Studies in Syracuse University's Falk College hosted, "A Community in Trauma: The Impact on Children and Families," a day-long conference exploring the epidemic of violence and the long-term wounds it inflicts on the children who grow up in its shadow. The event, held Friday, March 21, featured community experts who deal with violence and trauma who offered different perspectives on related problems and solutions.
The Falk College today announced a new bachelor of science degree in Food Studies. The new program, which is now enrolling majors for Fall 2014, provides a thorough understanding of food systems, politics and economies from production to consumption locally, nationally and globally. Students develop marketable skills, such as data management and analysis, food preparation and presentation, and the ability and knowledge to link these skills to the growing interest in food systems. The opportunity to pair the food studies major with minors within the Falk College and throughout Syracuse University, such as public health, nutrition, social sciences, policy studies or communications, offers students unique and marketable complements to their degree programs.
Congratulations and thank you to the Sport Management (SPM) Club at Syracuse University, which announced it raised $30,500 for Food Bank of Central New York at its 9th Annual Charity Sports Auction in December. "As a result of months of hard work on behalf of over 75 Syracuse University students, 79,300 meals were provided to those families in need in our community," said Kate Veley, SPM club co-advisor. "We simply couldn't be more proud of our students, or more thankful of the Central New York community who once again recognized a need and worked together to help us make a difference."
A check presentation took place during the SU men's basketball game on February 19 at the Carrier Dome. Picture above L-R: Alyssa Wood, '13 auction co-chair; Kathleen Stress, Food Bank of Central New York, Executive Vice President; Carly Raimo, '13 auction co-chair; Kate Veley, SPM Club co-advisor.
The Nutrition Education Promotion Association (NEPA) hosted Brian Wansink, Ph.D., on the topic of mindless eating in February 2014. The community was invited to attend the lecture. Dr. Wansink is the John Dyson Endowed Chair in the Applied Economics and Management Department at Cornell University, directing the Cornell Food and Brand Lab. He has been the Executive Director of USDA's Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion, which is the federal agency charged in creating the 2010 Dietary Guidelines. He has authored numerous research articles and books, including Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think. As a consumer psychologist, Dr. Wansink studies food psychology and eating behaviors. His work focuses on understanding how the environment influences our decisions to eat food. His research guides individuals to understand how they can change eating behaviors, and why these changes are so successful."
NEPA is a student organization in the Falk College's Department of Public Health, Food Studies and Nutrition that promotes health and nutrition education to the SU and the Syracuse communities.
The 2014 Syracuse University Unsung Heroes were honored during the Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration at the Carrier Dome on Sunday, Jan. 19. Congratulations to this year's honorees including School of Social Work alumna, Debra L. Person. These awards are presented annually to people who, in the spirit of King's "beloved community," have made a positive difference in the lives of others but who are not widely recognized for their efforts. Also honored were Joseph Bryant, Georgia A. Popoff and Dorothy Russell.
Person has made a positive difference in the lives of others by providing spiritual, physical, intellectual, emotional and social support through community outreach and residency programs. Person is the founder and executive director of Exodus 3 Ministries, a faith-based, nonprofit organization for women and children in need in Central New York. Against many odds, and with limited funds, Exodus 3 Ministries grew from what began as an outreach program in 2010 and the overwhelming need for more community support to assist those seeking deliverance from the pain of addiction, prostitution, domestic violence, child abuse and homelessness. Through the Exodus House residency program, women gain the skills and resources necessary to lift themselves out of poverty and to develop healthy, sustainable relationships with their families, service providers, faith communities and the community at large. The community outreach component of Exodus 3 Ministries has helped hundreds of families in the Syracuse area with shelter, clothing, housing and other immediate needs.
Person is a Syracuse-area native who earned a master of social work degree from Syracuse University. She was honored in 2011 by the Falk College's School of Social Work with the Daniel and Mary Lou Rubenstein Social Justice Award. The annual Daniel and Mary Lou Rubenstein Social Justice Award was established in 1980 and recognizes a person who reflects the values of social justice in his or her professional and personal life. The award is given in honor of the late professor Daniel Rubenstein, a former faculty member in the School of Social Work and his late wife, Mary Lou, a former school social worker.
The importance of a professional presence in social media for dietitians and other nutrition professionals was the focus of a recent interactive presentation by Falk College nutrition alumni and registered dietitians, Lauren Carey, RD, CLT, and Allison Marco, MS, RD, LDN. "Using Technology and Social Media to Leverage Your Career in Dietetics," explored the growing use of social media in dietetics practice and why it is one of the most important elements in the professional toolkit of today's dietitians. Lauren is a registered dietitian at a private practice in East Brunswick, NJ and is the co-founder of Baritrack, an app that offers support and tools for patients who have undergone bariatric surgery. She is a Certified LEAP Specialist for Food Sensitivity Testing for IBS, Migraines, and Fibromyalgia, with additional certification in Adult Weight Management. As the food services registered dietitian at Georgetown University, Allison manages electronic nutrition tools for dining services including its online menus, Facebook presence, nutrition blog and menu app. She provides nutrition counseling for students, faculty and staff at Georgetown University and employee training and wellness programs.
Led by Dean Diane Lyden Murphy, the College brings together a rich history of academic programs whose signatures of social responsibility and justice join new and evolving majors reflective of educating global citizens.

Stocks finished higher Friday, with the Nasdaq posting its best weekly gain in almost three months, helped by a round of encouraging earnings, a better-than-expected consumer sentiment report and despite weak GDP report.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 23.69 points, or 0.18 percent, to finish at 13,228.31, crossing into positive territory for the month.
The S&P 500 added 3.38 points, or 0.24 percent, to end at 1,403.36, crossing above the 1,400 milestone. The Nasdaq climbed 18.59 points, or 0.61 percent, to close at to 3,069.20.
The CBOE Volatility Index, widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, closed above 16.
For the week, the Dow jumped 1.53 percent, the S&P 500 rallied 1.80 percent, and the Nasdaq surged 2.29 percent. AT&T was the best weekly performer on the blue-chip index, while P&G slumped.
Most key S&P sectors ended in positive territory for the week, led by telecoms. Consumerstaples finished in the red.
"You continue to see this QE3 carrot get dangled," said Jeff Kilburg, senior development director at TreasuryCurve on CNBC's "Power Lunch." "The sentiment is not so much pessimism, but more uncertainty. So next week, the paramount issue is the jobs number."
Stocks got a lift earlier this week after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke reiterated that the central bank remains prepared to take action, if needed, to help the economy.
Consumer sentiment inched up slightlyto 76.4 in April from 76.2 in March, according to the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan's final reading. Meanwhile, economic growth in the U.S. slowed in the first quarterat a 2.2 percent annual rate from the fourth quarter's 3 percent growth, according to the Commerce Department.
"Relative to my estimates, there were a number of offsetting misses, with the overarching theme being stronger household spending (consumption and housing) and weaker business investment...the dagger came from a second straight steep drop in federal government spending due to plunging defense outlays," wrote Stephen Stanley, economist at Pierpoint Securities in a note. "Boy, wait until those budget cuts start to kick in!"
Meanwhile, other experts seemed encouraged by the data.
"For an economy that's sustained growth pattern, you couldn't ask for better numbers," said Barton Biggs, managing partner at Traxis Partners on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street." "The consensus is that the second quarter real GDP is going to be down a little bit from what it was in the first quarter because of the weather. Still, the U.S. GDP compared to almost every other developed economy looks healthy and in pretty good shape."
Among earnings, Amazon surged sharply after the online retailer posted quarterly results that blew past Wall Street expectationsafter-the-bell Thursday. In addition, at least eleven brokerages boosted their price target on the firm.
Ford closed lower after the American automaker posted earnings that slipped from the same period in the previous year, but still topped estimates.
Elsewhere, Procter & Gamble fell after the household products maker reduced its guidance for the yearas the household products maker said it continues to feel pressure from higher commodity costs.
Chevron posted an earnings gainas rising oil prices and refining margins made up for a decline in oil and gas production.
And fellow Dow component Merck edged higher after the drugmaker said its earnings soareddespite lower-than-expected sales.
Expedia skyrocketed almost 30 percent after the online travel agency beat earnings growth expectations, thanks to an increase in its international hotel revenue. In addition, at least eight brokerages boosted their price target on the stock.
Of the 287 S&P 500 firms that have posted quarterly results so far, almost 73 percent have topped earnings estimates.
Vivus closed higher after the FDA approved the drugmaker's erectile dysfunction treatment Stendra. Shares were temporarily halted during the trading session following the news.
Allscripts plunged more than 30 percent after the health care company handed in a weak full-year guidance and announced the resignation of its CFO, three directors and board Chairman Phil Pead.
On the M&A front, Intuit edged higher after the maker of TurboTax agreed to acquire Demandforce in a cash deal worth $432.5 million.
Also on the economic front, employment cost edged up by 0.4 percent in the first quarter, according to the Labor Department, but was still lower than the expected gain of 0.5 percent.
European shares ended higher, fueled by several encouraging earnings reports, which trumped S&P's overnight downgrade of Spain's credit rating.

These looked like wool socks, but as soon as I put them on, I was impressed by how soft and comfortable they were. Definitely a staple on cool winter days!
I love the feel of the socks. They are great quality and fun to wear. When I buy socks in the future, these are on the list.
I wear these with jeans every Saturday. Great find from my box. Liked them so much I bought a second pair for Sunday.
I've worn the heck out of the pair I received in my box, and they still hold up. Soft and durable, and not too hot. Would recommend.
These socks look great with casual/business casual attire and are very comfortable. However, since they're cotton, you can't expect the same level of warmth as a thin wool sock.
These are great socks! They keep you warm and they feel great. I would definitely buy more of these socks!
I received these right before the two snow storms in Atlanta, and I wish I had more pairs! They definitely kept my feet warm, and I wore them under hunting boots. If you need any sort of insulated socks for any reason, I would definitely recommend these.
I know it seems like a lot for socks that will probably not be seen, but these are totally worth it! Comfortable, and very durable. Bought as stocking stuffers at Christmas and everyone loved them!
I absolutely love these! They are the best socks I have ever had. I will definitely buy more. I need to find more colors.
Fun socks and comfortable, I didn't think it would go well with my shoes or dress pants but they do. The ladies loved it.

Phenolic compounds (tannins and low-molecular weight phenolic acids) are chemical defenses that are widely produced by plants. They are found in especially high concentrations in tree leaves. By comparing insect species that differ in their abilities to tolerate these compounds, my lab has been building a better understanding of the key mechanisms that insects employ to tolerate high levels of these chemical defenses in their foods. A central hypothesis addressed by much of our work has been that phenolic compounds exert their effects on herbivores by producing detrimental oxidation products (semiquinone radicals and other reactive oxygen species). Therefore, we have focused in the past five years on improving methods for measuring many of these oxidation products, as well as on measuring a wide variety of antioxidant defenses in insects.
We are currently working on two major projects: (1) testing the roles of plant oxidative enzymes as defenses against caterpillars and (2) comparing the oxidative activities of tannins in herbivores. In collaboration with a plant geneticist (Peter Constabel), we are testing whether three putative defenses (polyphenol oxidase, peroxidase, and ascorbate oxidase) are effective defenses, as is widely believed. In collaboration with a phenolics chemist (Juha-Pekka Salminen), we are finding that different chemical classes of tannins have different abilities to act as "oxidative defenses" against herbivores such as caterpillars. These basic research projects have long-term importance for breeding and genetic engineering efforts to produce more resistant plants in agriculture and forestry.

Before we get started on the inaugural Q&A with Nichols here, I wanted to pass along a little info.
The Q&A column will run every other Sunday, but... I already had a prior engagement October 2 before agreeing to the gig here. So no Q&A and no Ramblings that day. Otherwise, I'll be chained to my desk all season and everything will operate as usual.
In terms of the Q&A, either refer to the questions from my blog regulars or go through some of my recent Hockey Hearsay blogs on Sportsnet (Reader Submissions at the bottom) to get a feel for what max length we're looking at here. No essays, please.
I need enough info to answer your question, but not so much I'm drowning in it and can't answer someone else's because it's too long. Roto vs. H2H, single-season vs. keeper, number of teams in league, scoring categories and pertinent roster info as it relates to your question are all key pieces of info. I'd also love to know your first name and hometown.
Phil from L.I.
"Hey Chris,
Long time follower..it's great to see you here on Dobber as well. 10 team/4 keeper H2H league. 1 Keeper must be a goalie or dman. I have a bit of a dilemma with my 4th keeper. I have Sid, AO, Quick and I have to choose between Kopitar and Doughty.
My plan was to trade Kopitar for a 2nd round pick and keep Doughty. But with Sid's slow recovery and Doughty's contract issues I put the trade on hold. The only other dmen being kept are Green and Letang so picking up quality D isn't a problem. Also the top forwards look to be B. Ryan, Zetterberg, Kesler, M. Richards and Marleau. I currently have the #3 and #7 picks in the 1st round, no 2nd. I'd almost prefer
keeping Kopitar, grabbing the best forward at #3 and the best goalie at #7. Then go defense with my 2- 3rd round picks. The boards are split on this one so maybe you can help make up my mind. Thanks."
Chris: Thanks Phil. I actually agree with your line of thinking in terms of keeping Kopitar with Quick in addition to Crosby and Ovechkin. I wouldn't necessarily commit to taking a forward over a goalie with the 3/7 split, depending on which goalies are left unprotected. Chances are strong you'll still end up with excellent picks at either position regardless though. I'd love you to get Ryan long-term in particular.
I'm not really too worried about Doughty's contract situation, at least at this point. In terms of his keeper league value, I still want to see him shoot the puck more. Once he does that, his value will really be helped. He's clearly a franchise d-man and will have strong point totals, but balancing out his peripherals would help his cause.
"2nd overall entry draft pick in a roto league, who do you take? Landeskog, Strome or Huberdeau? Thanks."
Chris: I'd go with Landeskog Marty. This kid just looks like he's going to be a special, special player. All three guys should be excellent fantasy assets, but I really like Landeskog.
Two quick points. Knowing whether wingers and centres are separated out or if it's just all forwards grouped together would help answer that question, as well as categories counted. Also, as much as I follow the prospects as best as possible, I'm watching NHL hockey all night, every night in-season. I don't have the first-hand knowledge of the guys until they hit the NHL and don't try to pass myself off as an expert on them. I just give my two cents on what I've read and seen via highlights. Landeskog just really impresses me.
The Oracle of Oro Valley
"Chris, I only have 3 sites I read. Now you are on two them. Knock 'em dead!"
Chris: Thank-you sir. I have a call into Mr. Hefner to see if I can start writing for the third site on your favourites list.
Puckhead (Forum handle)/ Rob
"Welcome Nichols!!!
In a keeper league with goaltending categories of note being GAA, and SV %, who would you rather have and why...Luongo, or Bryzgalov??? Thanks."
Chris: Thanks for the welcome, I appreciate it. My single-season goalie rankings come out tomorrow and I'll say that these two are neck and neck near the top. It was honestly a coin flip for me, but Luongo has the edge at the moment. Maybe I'll change my mind by tomorrow, but Vancouver is just such a strong team. People love to rip him apart, but by and large his stats with the Canucks are quite strong.
Am I worried about Vancouver's Cup Finals hangover and the injuries they're starting the year with? Sure, but I'd say I'm equally concerned with Bryzgalov after the summer hype, that fat contract and all of Philly's roster changes and it taking some time to adjust. There are reasons to be aware there, but I'm just not too worried either guy will fall on his face. As such, they both are going to place quite highly in my ranks.
Hairbird from Pegulaville
"Chris, nice to see at Dobber. Long time follower of yours on sportsnet & canoe.
I'm in a 10 team roto keeper league (keep 4). Categories are G, A, SOG, + -, PIM, PPP, SHP, Hits, W, GAA, SV%. We lock in our keeper this Thursday night. I've been thinking of making a trade for an elite goalie, ie Luongo or someone like Vokoun and a pick. I guess it all depends on who I trade.
My team: C - Getzlaf, Malkin, Dubinsky LW - Heatley, Burrows, Carcillo RW - St. Louis, Selanne, Downie, D - Green, Carlson, Carle, Kaberle, Enstrom G - Howard, Neuvirth, Ellis.
I could possibly get Luongo via St.Louis, I was thinking because I have 2 top tier centers, I could trade one of them and pick up a C down the line. I love Getzlaf and would hate to get rid of him, especially with hits and his + - should be better than Geno's. As of now I am keeping Getzlaf, Malkin, St.Louis and either Green or Heatley. I have the 4th, 11th and 14th picks in the first two rounds. I traded Nash to get the 11th pick. I could also stand pat and pick up someone like Halak, Niemi, Howard later in the draft and build my offensive stats first. Thanks"
Chris: Thanks for reading all of these years. I think in your situation I'd be more inclined to just leave your keepers as-is (with Green over Heatley, but I know we've talked about your keeper selections in Sportsnet Q&A) and you can still get quality goaltending at the draft. Halak, Niemi and Howard are all good options, while even someone like your Neuvirth should land a quality amount of starts with the Caps.
An alternate idea, depending on the other owner, would be to try to dangle two legit keepers in St. Louis and Green to land Henrik Lundqvist. Then you could slide someone like Heatley into your fourth slot. St. Louis is running out of elite years and you have to give to get when it comes to a guy like Lundqvist.
My goalie rankings, incidentally, come out Monday. Comprehensive and hopefully quite helpful.

Mindful Metropolis March 2010 : Page 35
2008 for developing a pesticide using nanosilver. Nonetheless, environmentalists are still very concerned about the prospect of releasing man- made nanomaterials into the environment. Big food's little secret Although they spend millions of dollars on nanotechnology research and development, food companies maintain a great deal of se- crecy regarding nanotechnology programs. Several large food companies, including Kel- logg, Nestlé and General Mills, are research- ing ways to enhance their products with nano- technology, but you won't find anything on the corporate websites about those developments. It hasn't always been this way, though. In 2000, Kraft Foods launched the Nanotek Con- sortium, a collaboration between Kraft and 15 research labs and universities to study the possible uses and risks of nanotechnology. Perhaps sensing public unease over nanotech- nology, Kraft renamed the consortium "the In- terdisciplinary Network of Emerging Science and Technologies" in 2004, downplaying its role in the consortium. Part of the reason for maintaining secrecy is certainly to protect in- tellectual property. However, many observers suggest that the food industry is keeping nano- technology developments from public view for fear that they'll scare off leery consumers. In January, the UK House of Lords Science and Technology Committee published a report criticizing the food industry for being too se- cretive about the current use of nanotechnolo- gy in food and food packaging. "They got their fingers burnt over the use of GM crops and so they want to keep a low profile on this issue," Lord Krebs told the BBC. "We believe that they should adopt exactly the opposite approach. If you want to build confidence you should be open rather than secretive." Would you like paper or microencapsulation? Most of the food products containing nano- technology that are on the market now are in the food packaging department. Miller Brew- ing uses clay nanoparticles in plastic beer bottles that promise to trap carbon monox- ide in while keeping oxygen out, giving beer a shelf life of up to six months. Numerous nutritional supplements contain "nanoized" ingredients that claim to be more effective than traditional, non-nano ingredients. And just this summer, the company Constantia Multifilm debuted a product called N-Coat, which is an ultra-thin clear laminate ("with outstanding gas barrier properties," accord- ing to the corporate website) that serves the same function as plastic wrap. Edible food products containing nano in- gredients are less common, but some are emerging. Among the companies developing new nano products is Chicago-based Nu- Mega Ingredients, which uses microencapsu- lation technology to enhance breads, cereals and dairy products with omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil. The nano-capsules don't actu- ally open until they reach your stomach, so the foods don't taste like fish oil. Although other food products containing nanotechnology do exist, pinning down the exact number is itself a challenge. The Wood- row Wilson International Center for Scholars sets the number at 84; the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies has the number at 98; and in a 2008 report on nanofood, Friends of the Earth identified 104 food and cosmetic prod- ucts containing nanomaterials. "With no label- ing in place anywhere in the world for nanoma- terials for food products and food packaging, it's definitely hard to tell what's going on," ex- plains Friends of the Earth health and environ- mental campaigner Ian Illuminato. Will the regulators step up? Governments around the world have been slow to act on nanotechnology regulation because the potential risks are still unknown; there simply hasn't been enough time or fund- ing to conduct the necessary toxicological studies. Food safety advocates aren't the only ones that are critical of the lack of nanotech- nology regulation. Since 2008, the National Research Council and the National Academy of Sciences have both publicly criticized the federal government's inaction on funding nanotechnology risk-assessment research. There is hope that the Obama administra- tion will turn that around though. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) hasn't taken a position on nanotechnology yet, but speak- ing at a nanoscience conference in June, FDA food safety official Annette McCarthy an- nounced that the agency is in the process of developing a guidance document for nano- technology in food. More recently, President Obama allocated $119 million to nanotech- nology environmental health and safety re- search in his 2011 budget proposal, a 35-per- cent increase over last year's request. Until more studies are conducted and more risks are demonstrated, many scientists are un- willing to take a position for or against the use of nanotechnology in food. "At this juncture we don't have a good understanding yet of wheth- er there are any risks and what those risks might be," says Kokini. "I think until we do the actual experiments, until we look at the ability of nanoparticles to comfortably penetrate cells and organisms, we are not in a position to say, if they do what exactly they do." Even if nanoparticles don't pass through certain cells in the human body, there's another possible health concern: That nanotechnology will ultimately steer consumers away from eating fruits and vegetables to get a balanced diet. If we can get all of our basic nutrients and vitamins in micro-capsules, what incentive will we have to eat good food? Illuminato of- fers a simple solution: "What it comes down to, I'd recommend that consumers veer away from processed foods." Read more about this topic at mindful metropolis.com/blog.

Benefitting Camp Rap-a-Hope
5K race – 8am Spanish Fort, Downtown Mobile
Fun Run – 9am Spanish Fort, Downtown Mobile
Mobile, Alabama – This Thanksgiving Day, residents of Mobile and Baldwin County can feel good about reaching for that extra piece of pie. The 2012 Turkey Trot for Hope & Gobble Wobble Fun Run gives them a chance to burn a few extra calories before their holiday meal and to give back to a wonderful cause, Camp Rap-A-Hope.
For over 25 years, Camp Rap-A-Hope has been providing "Fun for Kids with Cancer". Serving Gulf Coast children who have or have had cancer, Camp is a week of fun, friends and excitement where the focus is on just being a kid, not being a cancer patient. This amazing camp experience is provided at no cost to participants or their families and is fully supported by fundraising efforts and volunteers.
The Turkey Trot for Hope is one of the ways that a week at camp is possible. This Thanksgiving Day 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run will be held on Thursday, November 22nd and all proceeds go directly to support Camp Rap-A-Hope. The 5k race will kick off at 8:00am near Spanish Plaza in downtown Mobile and the fun run will follow at 9:00am in the same location.
Early registration is available online at www.camprapahope.org or www.active.com and In person registration is available at McCoy Outdoor in Mobile, Run-N-Tri in Mobile or at Running Wild in Fairhope. Registration fees are $20 for 5k participants and $15 for fun run participants with all racers receiving a commemorative race t-shirt. Discounted registrations with no shirt are available and individuals can also purchase a shirt separately by registering to "stay at home". Participants can also register the day of the race at Spanish Plaza from 6:15am-7:30am for $25.

Hooray! Google Calendar!
Generally I try to avoid blogging about what the rest of the world is blogging, and right now that's the leaking of the Google Calendar screenshots via
All I want to say really is – hooray!
I'm sure I mentioned before that I now use Gmail as my primary email, and have more or less ditched Outlook. The only downside was that I didn't have a nicely integrated calendar with my mail and contact lists… it was starting to get a little dire and I was almost about to go look for a solid alternative.
Hurry, hurry Google people! Release your calendar. I really need to stop writing my calendar on my hand every day. It doesn't look so professional. :)
