Outraged by the arrest of two nurses and a union organizer volunteering at the Occupy Chicago protest over the weekend, National Nurses United is planning a protest at Mayor Rahm Emanuel's office Monday.But pictures from the event in Chicago and elsewhere where the group was protesting suggests another more subliminal story line. In this picture the Twitter stream from the National Nurses United union, the police appeared restrained and tolerant of the protestors:
The group, the nation's largest union of registered nurses, is calling on its membership in Chicago to picket City Hall on Monday morning to demand that misdemeanor trespassing charges against the nurses and all of the protesters be dropped.
The two nurses arrested were among a larger group marching with Occupy Chicago protesters and later set up a tent to provide first aid.
"It was the wrong move," RoseAnn DeMoro, the group's executive director, said Sunday. "We were there to make sure if the occupiers get harmed, they have first aid."
So what kind of "first aid" was being rendered in their tent?
Here are a few pictures from the same group's "first aid" tent in San Francisco taken from the same Twitter feed:
Hmmm. Were there donuts were in those boxes?
Shucks. Maybe not:
Well, no donuts, but there sure was plenty of splashy red nurses union propaganda available for sympathetic protestors to consume as "first aid."

Passengers arriving and departing from Gatwick may experience delays following a power cut at one of its terminals this evening (Sunday, June 28).
According to the Sussex airport's Twitter feed, the power outage took place more than an hour ago, affecting thousands of holidaymakers and travellers.
Gatwick said engineers worked hard to restore power, which had been lost in several areas of the South Terminal.
The power outage affected some check-ins and airlines.
The airport is advising passengers to check with their individual airline they are travelling with for any potential delays to their journey.

The Iowa Manure Management Action Group (IMMAG) offers suggestions to help calm producers' nerves and provide practical information to help prepare for a Department of Natural Resources (DNR) inspection. Ken Hessenius, Iowa Department of Natural Resources, says even though many producers will initially respond to the news that they are about to be visited/inspected by an environmental specialist from the DNR with panic and a strong desire to go into hiding, such inspections need not be something to dread. He suggests that producers look at the inspection as an opportunity to interact with the DNR official and work toward improving the environmental performance of the facility. "Visits or inspections from the DNR can be an important tool for you to use in the overall management of your farm," Hessenius says.
DNR visits may be part of a routine manure management plan or earthen basin inspection, National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) or compliance inspection. The visit may also be the result of a spill that the producer reported, or perhaps stems from a complaint that has been registered with the DNR. Hessenius advises producers to stay calm and remember to always be truthful and forthcoming in any interaction with the DNR. "Rest assured, they are only interested in compliance with the rules and regulations. It is their goal to help you remain in or come into compliance," he says.
The inspection process varies, depending upon the type of inspection or visit. Some inspections/visits, such as a basin inspection, for example, could take as little as 15 minutes, while a NDPES inspection may take a full day.
Hessenius says each type of visit or inspection has several things in common. In most cases, producers will receive a phone call a minimum of 1-3 working days prior to the visit/inspection in Iowa. Exceptions to that notification time may include spill investigations or complaints, depending upon the circumstances.
The environmental specialist should offer credentials, explain the scope of the visit and give an estimate of the time that will be required for an inspection. They should also ask about biosecurity protocols a producer has in-place at the facility.

Hessenius says, depending upon the type of inspection, the DNR environmental specialist will tour the facility and observe areas for environmental compliance. "Generally speaking, they are most interested in manure storage areas and structures, and any potential areas of runoff," he says. "They may ask for records during a manure management plan or NPDES inspection.
The inspecting official may take pictures of the facility for documentation. Samples may also be taken in the event of a runoff. After the visit/inspection is completed, there will be an exit interview. The environmental specialist will talk with the producer about any compliance issues discovered during the meeting. They may give recommendations to improve the environmental performance of the facility.
Hessenius tells producers to answer questions honestly. "Conversely, please feel free to ask the DNR inspector any questions you may have. It is important to have a dialogue with them."

Police say a Dallas man held up a Gastonia bank nearly two weeks ago.
Surveillance footage from First National Bank led Gastonia police to Anthony Steven Hedgepath, according to arrest warrants.
Hedgepath walked into the New Hope Road bank around noon on April 17, arrest warrants state.
The 28-year-old man showed the bank teller a gun, put a bag on the counter and said, �I need you to put the money in the bag,� according to the arrest warrant affidavit.
The bank robber wore sunglasses and a baseball cap and had a beard with no mustache, police said.
The ball cap got left behind and a K9 unit attempted to track the man using the hat.
Police reviewed surveillance footage and determined that the man left in a car that was later identified as Hedgepath�s vehicle, according to the warrant affidavit.
Inside the car police found sunglasses that matched ones seen in the recording, the warrant states.
Some of Hedgepath�s family watched the surveillance footage and told police that it was indeed him on the screen, according to the warrant.
Police say that Hedgepath has sent text messages indicating that he was not alone in the robbery and that he didn�t keep all of the money.
A clean-shaven Hedgepath was arrested Sunday and charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon. He remained in jail Sunday evening on a $100,000 secured bond.
Hedgepath will have a first appearance in court Monday.
His only previous convictions in North Carolina were for misdemeanor drug charges in 2007.

Apple may have appeared to have pulled off a coup in persuading Oracle to maintain Java for Mac but can Oracle be trusted to get it right?
The emergence of the Flashback Trojan - which exploited a vulnerability in Mac OS X's version of Java - earlier this year led to a lot of flak for both Oracle and Apple. The vulnerability was known about and fixed in the Windows and Linux versions of Java, but remained exposed in OS X for several more weeks. The fact that Apple is ultimately responsible for maintaining Java on OS X saw Apple's ability to protect its users questioned.
But while Apple's policy of not discussing security vulnerabilities in public was part of the problem, conflicts between the release schedule of OS X and Java versions and Java's increasing popularity as a target for cybercriminals also come into the equation.
While criticism of Apple for not releasing security patches for Java quickly is fair, it should also be noted that Oracle doesn't exactly have a blameless record when it comes to security. In the past week it has emerged that a critical patch update that fixed 88 vulnerabilities in its database product line issued in April had problems.
Specifically, one of the fixes for its TNS Listener service had stability issues - issues that Oracle does not intend to fix until its next round of updates. To make matters worse, the vulnerability this specific fix was for was first reported in 2008. All current versions are still vulnerable for now, a state of affairs that one security researcher described as "reckless".
Chester Wisniewski of Sophos said: "Oracle isn't exactly known for getting security right, but this is downright reckless. Taking four years to fix a serious vulnerability, and even then only committing that future releases, to be named, will fix it?"
This rather shocking state of affairs provides a sobering backdrop to the news that Oracle will provide Java fixes to Mac users at the same time as Windows, Linux and Solaris.
"From this point on, every release of Oracle JDK 7 and JavaFX 2.1 (and later) will be available on Mac at the same time as for Linux, Windows and Solaris," Oracle's Henrik Stahl said last week with the release of Java SE 7 Update 4 JDK.
Sophos' Wisniewski points out, though, this does not include the Java Plugin/Java Web Start components that integrate with the browser to enable you to launch Java applets. It'll only work with 64 bit versions of Lion and is intended for development purposes. But, he concedes, it hopefully points to a more secure future for Mac users.
"This might be an indication that Oracle intends to supply their own JRE/Java Plugin/Web Start for Mac users in the future, which would make it easier for OS X users to stay current without relying on Apple," Wisniewski said.
You can download the Java SE 7 Update 4 JDK here as long as you are running Mac OS X Lion. Once installed, Java will be updated automatically.
Oracle has since issued a critical patch for the vulnerability in the TNS listener in its database products, but the fact that Oracle will now be taking responsibility for maintaining Java for Mac might not be as good news as it would first appear.
But it is likely a better way forward than to leave support for Java in Apple's hands - Steve Jobs lost interest in Java as long ago as 2007, when he described it as a "ball and chain" not worth building in to OS X. It wasn't until 2010 that Apple dropped Java from OS X, having largely persuaded developers to use other alternatives that were more under its control. It didn't drop out of favour entirely, though, and Apple's neglect for Java and Oracle's initial unwillingness to take responsibility for updating it left a gaping hole that cybercriminals managed to exploit so effectively.

Pediatricians in Canada are starting to discharge children whose parents refuse to have them vaccinated.
More and more, doctors are taking a stand when their medical advice is being ignored, said Dr. Hirotaka Yamashiro, chair of the pediatrics section for the Ontario Medical Association and president of the Pediatricians Alliance of Ontario.
"There have been some pediatricians who are very concerned about that, and may not take on the patient in the beginning," Yamashiro said. "If you are going to fundamentally disagree with one of the things I think is good for your child, what else are we going to have a problem with?"
Dr. Fatima Kamalia, a Thornhill-based pediatrician, says she discharges patients whose parents refuse to have them vaccinated.
"Their whole philosophy on care is not consistent with how I practise my medicine," she said. "So it's probably better that they find a doctor who they're comfortable with, who they can talk to, and who can handle their specific needs better than me."
Of her more than 3,000 patients, Kamalia says she discharges less than 1 per cent, basically those with parents who "adamantly refuse" immunization. Doctors have the right to end a relationship with a patient when there is a "breakdown of trust and respect," according to the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons.
Children receive their first set of vaccines at two months and in Ontario are required to get vaccines for diphtheria, tetanus, polio, measles, mumps and rubella in order to attend school. However, an unvaccinated child can attend if a medical note or a statement of conscience or religious belief is provided to the Medical Officer of Health.
Within the first month of a newborn's life, Kamalia discusses how parents will proceed with their child's vaccinations.
If parents have concerns about potential risks and side effects, she gives them updated medical literature to read, cites cases of people who developed illnesses because they weren't vaccinated, and emphasizes that she has no ties to vaccine companies.
If parents are still resistant, Kamalia offers a modified vaccination schedule, and has them sign a waiver indicating that this was their decision.
Discharging patients is a "last resort," she says. Unvaccinated children put her other patients at risk, and "at the end of the day, I have to make a decision as to how I run my practice."
Right now, Kamalia says she has no unvaccinated patients, and a maximum of five are on modified schedules. She says in the last three to four years she's had fewer parents raise concerns about vaccines.
Yamashiro estimates that one in 25 to 30 parents in Ontario refuse immunizations for their child, or place their child on a modified vaccine schedule. He adds that one in eight to 10 parents express concerns over how vaccines may affect their child.
"It's a big problem because…you're leading to more and more unimmunized children," Yamashiro said. "If this movement is allowed to fester, it's like a wound. If you allow it to sort of grow, then you're going to start affecting everybody's health."
As recently as 10 years ago, pediatricians rarely dealt with worried parents fretting over vaccines, Yamashiro said, but the increasing wealth of online medical information has resulted in misinformation.
"If there's a secret hypochondriac living inside you, it's going to feed that pretty quickly," he said.
Yamashiro said parental fears over immunization have increased since 1998 when The Lancet, a prestigious U.K.-based medical journal, published a study linking autism with the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine. In 2010, the journal retracted the study, led by Andrew Wakefield, who has since been stripped of his medical licence.
But there are those who are still wary of vaccines, such as Edda West, a B.C.-based grandmother and co-ordinator of the Vaccine Risk Awareness Network, a non-profit organization that provides information on the risks associated with vaccines.
West became an advocate of "vaccine awareness" 35 years ago, after her then 15-month-old daughter became sick with a high fever and developed an "atypical" case of measles. The incident led her to connect with parents who had had similar experiences.
"We believe most parents try very hard to make healthcare decisions that are in the best interest of their children," she said. "Well-informed parents know that there is a big gap in scientific knowledge about the impact of multiple vaccines on the health of their children."
"They are concerned because doctors are unable or unwilling to discuss these concerns rationally and without prejudice."
Oakville mother Erika Klein, who has a 15-year-old daughter, says doctors shouldn't discharge patients over a disagreement of treatment or immunization.
"I just think it's wrong that just because the parents have opted out of the vaccination — why should they be denied care?" she said. "It's a (doctor-patient) relationship based on trust, and there's a history there."
Klein's daughter Morgan received all of the required vaccines, but they opted out of the voluntary ones against meningitis and human papillomavirus. Klein says her doctor, with whom she has a good relationship, recommended the shots, but "he didn't force it on me."
While he's heard of other doctors turning patients away, Toronto-based pediatrician Marvin Gans says it's best to deal with vaccine-averse parents diplomatically. He offers a delayed schedule, with the goal of eventually getting something into the child. Currently, less than 1 per cent of his patients are unvaccinated.
"If you turn them off, they may feel that nobody cares and medicine doesn't listen," Gans said. "And there's no hope of them coming back."

Herbert Blomstedt, Conductor Laureate of the San Francisco Symphony (SFS), served as the Symphony's Music Director from 1985 to 1995. During that decade, he raised the orchestra's standards and its international stature. Blomstedt led the SFS on successful tours of the United States, Europe, and Asia, conducting performances at the major festivals in Salzburg, Edinburgh, and Lucerne. The recordings he made with the SFS, including the complete cycles of Nielsen and Sibelius symphonies, scored numerous awards -- France's Grand Prix du Disque, Britain's Gramophone Award, and two Grammy® awards. Their recording of Mahler's Symphony No. 2 was named Best Recording of 1995 by the Association of German Record Critics.
Born in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1927, Blomstedt moved with his family to Sweden two years later. He attended the Royal College of Music in Stockholm and the University of Uppsala. He studied contemporary music at Darmstadt and Baroque music at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. Blomstedt continued his conducting studies with Igor Markevitch in Salzburg, with Jean Morel at Juilliard, and with Leonard Bernstein at Tanglewood's Berkshire Music Center. His talent was quickly recognized. In 1953, he won the prestigious Koussevitzky Conducting Prize. The next year, he made his conducting debut with the Stockholm Philharmonic and landed his first post, as Music Director of Sweden's Norrköping Symphony. In 1955, he won first prize at the Salzburg Conducting Competition.
Before coming to San Francisco, Blomstedt was chief conductor of the venerable Dresden Staatskapelle from 1975 to 1985. He led that orchestra's first performances in the United States, and made numerous recordings with it, including complete cycles of the Beethoven and Schubert symphonies. After his decade-long tenure with the SFS, he became Music Director of Hamburg's NDR Symphony Orchestra, and served in the same capacity at the Gewandhaus Orchestra of Leipzig from 1998 to 2005. Among many other works, he recorded Brahms's Fourth Symphony, Sandström's High Mass, and Mendelssohn's Elijah with the Leipzig musicians. The German label Querstand has released a set of live recordings from Blomstedt's tenure with the Gewandhaus Orchestra. He is currently its Honorary Conductor, a title he also holds with Japan's NHK Symphony, the Danish and Swedish radio symphonies, and the Bamberg Symphony in Germany, which he has conducted since 1982.
Blomstedt is a member of the Royal Musical Academy of Stockholm, and has received several honorary doctorates. In 1992, he was awarded Columbia University's Ditson Award for distinguished service to American music. He received Austria's Anton Bruckner Prize in 2001 and Denmark's Carl Nielsen Prize in 2002. He is a Knight of the North Star, Stockholm, and a Knight of the Dannebrogen, Copenhagen. In 2003, he was awarded the Great Cross of Merit by German President Johannes Rau.

Chanhassen, Mn — Despite announcing late last month a 22.8 percent revenue growth in the fourth quarter 2007 and 28.1 percent revenue growth for the year 2007, Life Time Fitness executives say they expect lower earnings in 2008 than they originally anticipated. The expected lower revenue is due to "the current challenging economic environment" rather than to anything specific with the company, Bahram Akradi, chairman and CEO of Life Time Fitness, said in a statement.
Life Time's revenue increased 22.8 percent in the fourth quarter 2007 to $171.1 million from $139 million during the same period in 2006. Revenue for the year was $655.8 million, up from $511.9 million in 2006.
Net income for Life Time during the quarter grew 35 percent to $19.1 million compared to net income of $14.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2006. For the full year, net income grew 34.5 percent to $68 million from $50.6 million for 2006.
In a call with analysts, Akradi predicted that the company's growth would continue this year despite concerns about a downturn in the economy. He said that the company would open 11 new centers this year. He predicts 2008 revenue growth will be 19 percent to 22 percent, which equates to $780 million to $800 million. Wall Street analysts had been estimating 2008 revenue of $806.8 million.
"The economy will go through ups and downs," Akradi said in the call. "The growth rates we have demonstrated in the last five or six months and what we have experienced in January and so far in February are nothing to be embarrassed about. We love it. I love a tough economy every so often because we simply cannot distance ourselves as much as we like to. When you are going downhill [with] the wind [at] your back, it is easy. Everybody can do it. When it gets tougher, it is not tougher just for us; it is tougher for everybody else."
He said the company would have many opportunities for better locations as more retailers bail on developers and developers ask Life Time to anchor their retail developments.
He also said that many operators are operating in single-digit margins, and he predicted that those operators would fall apart, meaning their members would then come to Life Time.
"We are positioned absolutely fantastic for taking advantage of what is to come in the next couple of years," Akradi said.
Part of the company's revenue growth was from higher membership dues at 10 mature Life Time Fitness clubs where the company implemented the higher dues to decrease the number of members from 13,000 to about 11,000, Akradi said. Life Time classifies mature clubs as those that have been open for three years or more. Fifty-three percent of the company's 71 clubs are mature clubs.
Mike Robinson, executive vice president and CFO, said in the call with analysts that in the 10 mature centers where the company is specifically managing memberships down, there was a decrease of more than 5,000 memberships during the year. The company is "passively managing" another 10 mature centers down in capacity mainly with enrollment fees and marketing, which resulted in an additional 3,000 membership decrease for the year.
"We recognize that this loss of membership creates some short-term pressure on several metrics including membership growth and mature same-store sales," Robinson said. "However, we firmly believe it is the right long-term answer as our whole business is built around an optimal member experience."
Despite the membership decreases at mature clubs, total memberships grew 12.5 percent in the fourth quarter 2007 to 499,092, but that growth rate was slower than in the third quarter 2007, Robinson said.
The company also had a lower average enrollment fee for the year because it is offering prospective members lower enrollment fees or higher monthly dues memberships, Robinson said. The average enrollment fee has decreased by $20 per acquired member during the past few years, but incremental members are paying $120 to $240 more per year in dues, he said.
Life Time caters to a more affluent population that so far has continued spending on extras at the company's clubs, Robinson said. In 2007, non-dues revenue was up 9.1 percent from 2006. The typical Life Time member spent $387 in 2007 on services such as personal training.
Robinson says that the company continued to have strong performance in its personal training business, and he expected to continue that growth because less than 10 percent of the membership base is involved in personal training.
"We continue to grow the team-based aspect of that," he said, adding that the company had also increased heart rate monitor sales. In addition, he said that the company's café business had also grown after adding new items to the menu.

Danny isn't Ian. Ian isn't Danny
Danny's a better hitter:
Through 125 games in their rookie season Danny was hitting .231 / .313 / .414. Ian was hitting .279 / .316 / .413. Seems pretty similar right? Except the average offensive player has dropped even further this year. What was a slightly below average year in 2010 is now an average year. To be perfectly clear you'd rather have Ian's 2010 in 2011 than Danny's year. It is more productive but Ian didn't have that line in 2011. He had it in 2010. That matters even though seemingly one year shouldn't make that big a difference.
Danny has the better peripherals with an isoOBP of .082 compared to Ian's .037 (Danny walks, Ian doesn't) and an isoSLG of .183 to Ian's .134 (Danny has more power). A lot of Ian's worth is tied up in singles.
You could argue that Ian was a bit lucky too. His BABIP was .317, which isn't crazy but it was .292 in 2009 and .292 so far this year so it's more likely his "natural" BABIP is going to be just under .300. However, we can't really say if Danny is lucky himself. It doesn't seem that way (BABIP of .274) but that could be exactly where he should be.
All in all Danny has shown himself to be a slightly better hitter so far with a month to pick things up while rookie Ian slides away.
Danny's a better fielder:
This isn't even a question. I can toss out the numbers if you like
2010 Ian : 34 errors, .947 F%, -10 Total Zone rating, -8.8 UZR
2011 Danny : 11, .982, -2, 3.2
but anyone watching this team knows this as fact. This year's Ian has made solid strides, but he's still not the fielder at short that Danny is at second.
Danny had better minor league numbers:
Ian : .259 / .326 / .388 career
Danny : .270 / .365 / .455
I don't expect Danny to be a .270 type hitter in the majors. But with his patience and power, he only needs to hit .250 or so to be a very good offensive 2nd baseman. Ian doesn't have much power and hardly any patience. He NEEDS to hit .280 or so to be that useable at short. .260+ just to be average. Danny doesn't need to be as good as he was in the minors. Ian needs to be better. The latter is a TALL order for someone who should be peaking stat-wise right around now.
Danny is younger.
Half a year younger true but it's half a year.
Where does Ian have Danny beat? He's a better baserunner, though Danny is no slouch there.
The conclusion is obvious. Danny is better. The leash Danny gets needs to be longer because the base skills he has are better. It's fine for the Nats to move on from Ian in about... oh 240 hours or so because his upside isn't that "up" and the data saying he's not going to hit those modest goals is getting to be plentiful. Danny's struggles are his own and the Nats don't need to do anything with these two guys as if they were a pair.
In the Post, Ryan Core-B compares moving Desmond to maaaybe what it would have been like if the Tigers moved Trammel. His case is that the Nats need to give Desmond a whole nother year. He does add a caveat or two (Trammel more highly touted, didn't have as many of atbats if they dealt him after his first year - which is curious why he only goes one year into Trammell's career considering he didn't get good until full year 3, but whatever) but he leaves out two very important things.
(1) Trammell did not regress offensively his second year, like Ian has - he was stable.
(2) Ian Desmond is 25 to be 26 at the end of the season. Alan Trammell was 21. That's a HUGE difference. Trammel had years to get better. Desmond is entering his peak years.
Don't feel bad for Ian, he's had 300+ games in the major leagues as a "tryout". Most guys don't get anything close to that. You have other prospects breathing down your neck, conflicting goals and veteran-loving coaches forcing slightly better 30+ year olds into your position. Ian got a fair chance, which is more than a lot of guys get. It's time to give someone else the same break.

While I'm not ready to write off Ian yet (maybe Davey can talk him into being a better hitter), I agree that it makes sense to bring up Lombardozzi in Sept and see what he can do. If he does poorly, maybe you hold onto Ian for another year and hope Rendon progresses quickly. If Lombardozzi does well, you let he and Ian fight it out in spring training next year.
The real challenge for the Nats, though, is that they have potential 2B's in the minors but not so many potential SS's. So moving Ian means switching Danny to SS. While we know Danny can play SS, if they move him there in 2012, it needs to be permanent. You don't want to have a Desmond / Lombardozzi platoon or a Lombardozzi experiment that fails with Ian stepping back in.
Boz thinks roster limitations impacts Lombie's chance for a callup. I think there's some room though like dumping Mock and maybe Severino and Slaten.
I'd rather see Peacock or Milone though instead of Lombs.
I'd still like to see Dez/Espi for 75% of games but working in Lombardozzi if there's space. Just like moving Morse to OF and playing Marrero.
I'd like to see the team make a hard run at .500 for the year. Right now only 6 NL teams over .500 and Nats are tied for 7th best record.
Ian's career offensive numbers are better than hall of famer Ozzie Smith at this point in his career (compared to the league averages at the time). I say we give him another year to fix himself. He is a sophomore and many players regress offensively year 2. Moreover, we know Espinosa is an excellent defensive 2B in the majors, but he is unproven at SS, so I am uneasy about switching him. This goes double for switching Lombardozzi. Second and Short stop throw from very different angles and that matters, so they are not easy for each other to play. Lastly, Ian is not so bad that he is a liability. He is positive in his fWAR, not much but still he is better than replacement this season.
- Nate said...
Finkle is Einhorn, though, right?
Ian's athletic enough to have a nice career as a utility guy (Bixler Plus, if you will). And who knows, maybe one day he'll wake up, embrace a shorter swing, and be enshrined in the Hall of Scrappy Infielders.
- Donald said...
On another topic, what's your opinion on Wang and Detwiler? If we assume Strasburg, Zimmermann and Lannan in the 2012 rotation, do Wang and Detwiler fill out the list? Who's low man on the totem pole if Peacock or Milone are ready? Do the Nats just not try to sign Wang after all this work?
- Ollie said...
Seems like a situation where you trade him if you get a decent deal or hold onto him in the hopes that you can turn him into a solid utility player.
I'm not sure if there's room for him eventually if Lombardozzi AND Rendon both play middle infield, but that's getting ahead of ourselves I guess.
- Harper said...
Donald - I think we put too much stock in position permanence, letting players use that as an out if they don't perform well. Look at Soriano - HATED the idea of moving to the OF, to the point of almost sitting out - moved and performed great. Still for the sake of the fan and media outrage a consistent move is necessary.
On the last point... I guess they wait and see if someone gets dealt for a CF. If they make it to Spring, I say they let Wang walk. Older - more money - not dominant yet. But I'm still thinking a trade will happen to clear this all up
Hoo - Hate to see holding onto a never-will be long reliever keeping Steve from getting his shot. I think the argument is easier for bringing up Lombardozzi than Peacock or Millone but they are all right about there. No point in bringing them up not to play though.
Anon - yeah.
GO NATS - you gotta get off this Ozzie kick. That's like telling Harvard they have to take this 3rd grader failing math because Einstein failed it (probably not true but I hope you see the point). Everything else you say is fair. Desmond would probably rebound a bit to a slightly below average not hurting the team type of plateau, but is that what you want or do you see if you got something special with this other guy?
Nate - great. Way to spoil the movie for me. I thought Courtney Cox was Finkle.
I don't like Ian's chances at eternal scrappiness. He lacks a certain pigmential ability that the media tends to favor in their scrappy heros. Jamey Carroll knows what I'm talking about. (though seriously how does a guy become average at age 36? Ok I'm totally off track now)
Right now 2012 looks like: Znn, Stras, FA, Lannan, Wang or Det. Livo maybe to a minor league deal.
If Wang gives Nats a good deal, they should sign him. Det can pitch himself into contention for a valuable trade piece. Still not sure I see him in the April rotation right now (but maybe the long BP role since I'd guess Gorzo is gone).
- Donald said...
@Hoo -- I'm starting to wonder the value in pursuing an FA pitcher in the off season. If they could get a true #1 or #2 then I'd go for it, but I'm not sure that's out there. If they are getting the equivalent of Gorzelanny, Marquis, etc. then why bother. I'd rather give Peacock or Milone a shot and hope that in 2013 we either get a much better FA or one of the prospects turns into gold.
I'd hope for slightly better FA than Marquis. But if signing a Marquis type gives you more options. Milone/Peacock may or may not be ready but a FA starter gives you more leash. I don't want to return to the days where you depend on the Syracuse crowd to fill in at the back end of rotation (like '08 and '09). Peacock seems better than the Martis-Chico-Martin but Nats would be in trouble if Peacock isn't ready next spring. If you want to look at how Nats have grown compare the potential callups to the '07-'09 crowd.
Team has $$$ to spend and I'd like to see it on a front end starter and CF (and maybe first as well).
I see no reason not to add a FA. Depending on Wang, Livo, Dett plus the callups is asking for trouble and sabotaging your shot at .500+ before season starts.
- Athan said...
I agree. Long term, the Nats are better off with Danny at SS with Rendon or Lombardozzi at 2nd.
- Harper said...
Ollie - At this point I wouldn't even deal Desmond until I got a look at Lombardozzi. You have the time and the ability. Let him float like Hoo said for both Desmond and Espinosa so it doesn't make it look like Ian is being replaced. It'd be a waste not to because if you mean to trade in the offseason these are going to be the names brought up.
Hoo - so no Milone or Peacock? I get the arguement against Brad getting a shot (he could use a full AAA year to get that control under... control) but can you expect any better from Milone?
Donald / Hoo - It's an issue. I'm having trouble seeing what you consider Wang. If you see him as a FA signing then I'm all for a FA signing. a 4th dependable arm in that rotation with the 5th spot their for auditions would be great. If someone else pitches well enough to demand a spot, it'll open up. ALways does one way or another. If you're thinking Wang AND another FA then I can't get behind that. Then there is no "audition" spot. What do you do - stick Detwiler, Milone, Peacock and anyone else in AAA and wait for an injury? Give them 5-10 starts at season's end and hope they are good to go in 2013? I just don't think that's the best way.
Athan - probably but there's a lot of ?s still out there. Time to start taking a look though.
And Danny has been robbed of hits countless times.

Kansas: Statehouse renovation omits planned carvings
February 10, 2014
Topeka Now that the Kansas Statehouse project is finished, it's time to complete work on the original vision of the building, a local sculptor says.
But what's missing, according to Matt Kirby, a sculptor from Baldwin City, are carvings that were supposed to be put in the pediments, the triangular upper part of the building above the columns on the north and south wings.
Currently those pediments are simply blank.
According to a Kansas Historical Society book, entitled "Kansas State Capitol," the original plans for the north and south pediments called for a relief design.
A design proposed by a former Statehouse Architect George Ropes was never put in place. A blueprint of that proposed design, dating from 1889, is on the Kansas Historical Society website.
Why the design wasn't ever carried through is uncertain.
Current Statehouse Architect Barry Greis said putting in artwork in the pediments was always on a list of proposed projects as part of the modern-day restoration, renovation and construction project.
"It has always been intended as an enhancement from private funding," Greis said. But legislators have not moved forward on it. The total cost would probably range around $500,000 total for the north and south wings.
State Sen. Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka, who as Senate minority leader has been involved with the renovation project, said there may be some fatigue among legislators now that the long-running project is finished, but that he was open to the idea carvings in the pediments if funded privately.
"A concept that has been around awhile but has never been done before, it would seem to me would be more appropriate to be done privately," Hensley said.
Kirby said it's time for Kansas to finish the job and that a contest could be established for a new design that would represent the history and vision of the state.
Although a sculptor, Kirby said he works mostly in metal so he is not proposing work for himself.
Instead, he said, "There are many skilled stone carvers in Kansas. It would take a team of artisans. It could be a lot of fun."

Quanterix Raises $18.5 Million, Inks Deal With bioMerieux, Inc.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121115/NE13606LOGO )
Quanterix has closed an $18.5 million Series C financing with participation from all existing investors, including ARCH Venture Partners, Bain Capital Ventures and Flagship Ventures, and joined by In-Q-Tel. bioMerieux has taken an initial $15 million equity stake in Quanterix.
Quanterix has invented an ultra-sensitive immunoassay technology, offering unprecedented assay performance with multiplex capability. Unlike the traditional analog-based methods of detecting proteins or biomarkers in a biological sample, Simoa is based on a digital approach that enables detection of a signal from single molecules of a labelled analyte, and is much more sensitive than conventional analog-based protein detection technologies.
bioMerieux will develop specialized tests for which high sensitivity and / or multiplex is required, with a particular focus on infectious diseases. The menu will include existing tests for which sensitivity needs to be improved and new biomarkers which are currently difficult or impossible to measure, opening up new applications. The Company's goal is to improve standard of care, by providing earlier detection of diseases and consequently enabling clinicians to make treatment decisions much more rapidly. Leveraging the high sensitivity of Quanterix's Simoa technology and the multiplex functionality, bioMerieux will create a unique offer of assays combining several clinically relevant tests, for improved patient care.
"This agreement marks an important milestone for our immunoassay franchise, strengthening our role as a specialized player with a ground-breaking technology that delivers significant medical value," said Jean-Luc Belingard, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of bioMerieux. "We have great admiration for Quanterix's achievement in developing a technology with the sensitivity of molecular diagnostics at a more affordable cost. We are very pleased to make this breakthrough available to a broad number of laboratories."
"bioMerieux's partnership validates the incredible foundation the Quanterix team has developed and will make it possible for this remarkable technology to make a difference in the lives of patients," said Paul Chapman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Quanterix. "As one of the leading companies in the IVD space, we could not have found a better strategic partner to develop and commercialize Simoa in this critical market segment. This strategic alliance will provide us with the flexibility to leverage Simoa technology and apply it in other commercial opportunities of interest, whether that be in biomedical research, bioterrorism, blood banking, or point-of-care diagnostics."
Under the terms of the agreement Quanterix will receive upfront and milestone payments, as well as royalties on future sales. bioMerieux will take an additional equity stake, contingent upon milestone achievement. In connection with the equity stake, bioMerieux has the right to designate one director for election to the Quanterix board. No further financial details of the transaction were disclosed.

Why US universities do not recommend do nothing treatment?NO wonder that winter losses are so high. That is what researchers are saying. .
Fin, we get it. Our losses are going to be higher not treating, but hives that do crash from varroa here do so in the fall and winter after the honey is made.I've read that a varroa infestation greater than 1% affect production, but I don't see spring varroa numbers that high and my honey production per hive exceeds our local average. Would I be better off treating, sure I'd have more hives. Have I got TF figured out yet, no. But, for the bees sake don't you ultimately want folks to learn how to keep bees treatment free again?

Song I made:
I wont be compelled by the weakness of the cuck.
Too many cucks who dont give fucks.
They try to hold me and tell me its okay
They wont give my sympathy on any day
They say that they are happy to die
That the world doesnt have to be a big pizza pie
I say, hey, I am the noble knight of the internet...
The ruler of this pathetic land...
I owe whats due whats rightfully mine
I wont be content with this life of mine
I want fulfilled my natural desire
Not be shamed for being carefree and wild
So hey, grow a pair you stinking cuck...
Dont you see, there's still people who need to fuck
Im not like you, not a nun who works from monday to sun
If I die alone at least I died me
Not someone who treats life is a big factory
Where it doesnt really matter, if you fuck
And it doesnt really matter, cuz you're just a cuck
And it doesnt really matter, cuz who gives a buck
This world can be fucking hell
This world can be fucking hell
And dont you dare tell me not to yell...
Cuz I'm a rock star
I'm a rock star,
and you're just a rock
A dead little rock sitting like a lump
A dead little cuck sitting on a dump
Had enough of your cup of false spirituality
Had enough of your lies they taste just like candy
I want what I want and im not apologizin'
Im not gonna be shut up by a weak little cuck
Not gonna smile if I'm want to die with my rage
Not gonna rage if I want to die with smile
And the world you talk of is just made with people
People who you seem to think arent really people
Like some horde of monsters at the local county fair
Whats the fun of living if they can't treat me fair
No im not gonna die like a stupid little cu-ck
Listening to modernity shit on the radio
Trashing old tunes like a fatman on the favio
No brains in my head like a chicken on the stereo
Dont even know whats 2+2=4-rio
Driving down the road in a short little mini car
Rocking yolo font like we just dont car-io
Dont say no jokes cuz its just to far-io
We have to keep it super serio, super serio
Watch what what we say just we just bettero
And thats the weakness of the cuck

If you're a parent of a teen you may have noticed that there are countless advice books out there. Some are good but some are a complete waste of time, so I wanted to share with you two excellent books that have recently come to my attention: Dear Dr. Wes: Real Life Advice for Teens and Dear Dr. Wes: Real Life Advice for Parents of Teens. I was drawn to check out these books because they are a rare collaboration between a licensed psychologist, Dr. Wes Crenshaw from Lawrence, Kansas, and a group of teen editors. They don't disappoint. The content is honest, straightforward, and compassionate to both teens and their parents, but doesn't hold back from challenging the reader to hold themselves accountable for the decisions they make. In a nutshell, you're getting the best of both worlds, a trained expert on mental health issues and adolescent development with the real life "check" of the teens.
As an example, I'd like to share a quote from the introduction:
"For advice to be really good, it must have equal parts empathy and wisdom. Bad advice never challenges you to think. It just asks that you obey. Good advice is always benevolent-meaning it's given with your best interests in mind, even if it makes you angry at the time. In fact, a lot of good advice will do just that, and a lot of bad advice will feel pretty good at the time you're taking it."
Dr. Wes and the teens tackle real life problems that kids and teens write to me about all the time. For instance:
I don't like my teacher so I don't work hard in her class. What should I do?
I am constantly being ditched by my best friends…what do I do?
How do you deal with a parent who blames you for everything and doesn't own up to his or her own mistakes?
If you want to find out their answers, and maybe have some of your own questions answered, get these books. I really think they'll help both parents and teens alike; not only for the information provided, but also as a great way to start conversations between you and the kids you love. It's published by Family Psychological Press and it's readily available on-line via Dr. Wes' own website or in book stores.

On the Ball: Men's lax wins; RPI next
On the Ball: Men's lax wins; RPI nextAs expected, the Middlebury College men's lacrosse team held serve on Wednesday in the first round of the NCAA Division III tournament, defeating visiting Goucher, 10-6. Before getting to details of that game, let's look ahead: The 12-5 Panthers will visit 14-2 Rensselaer (to avoid typos henceforth referred to as RPI) on Saturday for a second-round match-up. The game is a rematch of an April 20 contest, also played in beautiful downtown Troy, N.Y., won by the Panthers, 9-6.And a look at the stats shows that victory wasn't a fluke. The Panthers dominated the second half, outscoring the Engineers, 7-3, in the final 30 minutes; won 13 of 19 faceoffs; picked up 44 of 78 ground balls; launched more shots at goal, 34-32; and put more shots on goal, 20-18.Oh, and the Panthers have yet to lose to a non-NESCAC foe. Anything can happen, but they can't have asked for a better opportunity in the tournament this year. If they do prevail at RPI, on Wednesday they will face the winner of another Saturday game between NESCAC champ Tufts (16-1), which edged the Panthers in the league final, and Endicott (14-7).Against Goucher (14-4) on Wednesday, the Panthers pulled away from a 4-4 halftime tie to win going away. In the first half, the Panthers got two goals from David Hild, one by Jack Masur, and one fro Tim Cahill set up by Masur.The Panthers scored the first four goals of the second half, three in the third quarter and one at 12:48 of the fourth. In the third, Andrew Connor scored from Pete Smith, Peter Jennings won the faceoff and raced in for the score, and Bart Witmer drove to the goal at 3:45.Chris Teves made a spin move out front at 12:48 of the fourth to make it 8-4. Goucher cut the lead back to two, but Hild's power move at 4:31 restored a three-goal lead, and Smith set up Cahill for an insurance goal at 2:22. Panther goalie Ryan Deane and Goucher's Chris Stricklin each made 10 saves. Middlebury out-shot Goucher, 44-28, and won 14 of 19 faceoffs, with Brian Foster winning eight out of nine.Andy Kirkaldy may be reached at [email protected].

IUCN has partnered with UNESCO World Heritage Centre and GTZ for a youth event in parallel to COP10 in Nagoya. The Youth Forum Go4BioDiv - World Heritage welcomes 35 young adults from natural World Heritage sites. Tatjana Puschkarsky of IUCN reports.
Young people will have to bear the consequences of today's (in-)actions and decisions – therefore their points of view should play an important role at international conferences and in political decision-making. The Youth Forum Go4BioDiv - World Heritage, which will take place in parallel to COP10, is embedded into the broader framework of the UN-Year of Biodiversity, the International Year for the Rapprochement of Cultures and the International Year of Youth.
IUCN has partnered with UNESCO World Heritage Centre and GTZ for this outstanding youth event in parallel to COP10 in Nagoya from 16 – 29 October.
It aims at raising awareness about the interdependencies of biological and cultural diversity and inter-generational responsibilities for the conservation of our global treasures. It offers young participants the opportunity to reflect on their experiences and exchange views on natural World Heritage sites as the emblematic and visible 'flagships' of nature conservation, and the effects climate change has on these sites. This initiative carries on the achievements of the first Youth Forum Go4BioDiv held during COP9 in Bonn, Germany, in 2008.
Youth camp near Mount Fuji
Go4BioDiv activities will mainly be conducted in close contact with nature, at a camp near Mount Fuji. This exceptional cultural landscape is deeply associated with Japanese mountain worship and the country's artistic and literary tradition and thus a wonderful example of the intricate linkages between nature and culture. To present their messages and creative activities at COP10, participants will stay in Nagoya during the High-Level Segment of COP10. Previous to the conference, the young people will prepare a creative exhibition on natural World Heritage sites and their personal experiences with photos, comics, videos, haiku poems or stories. When they come together at Mount Fuji, they will discuss and creatively engage with general issues of World Heritage sites and biodiversity conservation and present their messages at COP10 in the form of a joint declaration, creative side events, discussions with politicians and colourful stage performances.
The Youth Forum presents a unique opportunity to bring together young people from the most outstanding natural sites our planet has to offer. The participants, who live or work in natural World Heritage Sites, will be young adults aged 18 to 28, representing more than fifteen natural sites from i.e. Mexico, Peru, Cameroon, Mauritania, Kenya, Congo, Vietnam, China, Mongolia, India, Nepal, the Philippines, Solomon Islands, Germany, Slovakia, Switzerland and the host country Japan.

In an interview, the former president of Chile, Ricardo Lagos, says that today's global financial crisis is mainly a political failure rather than an economic one. The US will probably do much better in its financial recovery because its central bank, unlike Europe's, has the powers it needs.
Scott Malcomson /
March 12, 2013
Ricardo Lagos is the former president of Chile. He was recently interviewed by Scott Malcomson of the Berggruen Institute on Governance for the Global Viewpoint Network.

Scott Malcomson: Let's start with the G20 and its changing role. How do you see that?
Ricardo Lagos: I think the G20 represented a recognition of political necessity in the economic sphere. The emergence of the Group of 20 as a result of the international crisis was based in the recognition of the G8 that they didn't have a sufficient number of countries to face a crisis of this magnitude. It was perhaps suggestive that it was President George W. Bush who recognized the necessity of bringing in Third World countries and emerging markets.
But in order to be effective, the G20 needs to be united in its pursuit of policies and to develop a united opinion. This it has proved unable to do.
Today, I think the G20 can form an informal nucleus for developing policies that it could then bring to other venues, such as the UN General Assembly or other councils that are relevant to whatever issue the G20 is concerned with. For example, the G20 could channel economic policies to the Bretton Woods institutions. I do think the relationship between the G20 and the International Monetary Fund helps explain why certain recent statements by IMF officials have suggested that the Fund is relaxing a little its exclusive focus on austerity in response to the crisis. But in any case, the G20, in my opinion, is an advance in that it keeps major powers asserting their power through a scheme of rules.
Malcomson: The IMF is certainly relaxing its approach, but why? Political reasons, ideological reasons, or the pressures of the moment?
Lagos: I think it is a mix. In the first place, the [global financial] crisis, in order to be resolved, has led nations to turn to Keynesian policies. Secondly, I think it is very important that the IMF has realized that when it tried to get out of the crisis purely on the basis of austerity policies, it was a profound error. They saw that giving stimulus packages was also an important element.
Third, I think the IMF saw the limits of Europe when confronted with the crisis, in that the European Central Bank did not have the capacities that the US Federal Reserve Bank had. The Fed could, in effect, print money. The ECB could not. The Fed responded with every means it had. The ECB did not have as many means. The ECB is now paying the price for financial arrangements that created the bank and a currency, but did not enable the harmonization of fiscal policies. It's impossible to have a central bank run on a sound basis when you have 16 distinct national fiscal policies.
Malcomson: One sees in Europe signs of re-nationalization, now that faith in a kind of depoliticized, rational European economic space has been undermined, for some, by events. It is interesting that national politics – democratic for the moment, anyway – is reasserting itself.
Lagos: Yes, but I think the main trend is the opposite: that national fiscal policies are giving way to supranational fiscal governance, because they have to. It is not possible to have one monetary policy and several fiscal policies. Therefore you need to go forward and give some powers to the central bank with regard to fiscal policies. So the question is not a renationalization of policies but the other way around.
In addition, the European Central Bank must be able to serve as a lender of last resort. The local banks who get in trouble should not be looking to their respective governments for help. This is a task for the central bank. If you want to keep the euro, that means more and not less integration in terms of fiscal policies.
Let's be clear. The problems of Spain today do not have to do with economic failure; they have to do with banks that the government felt were too big to fail and therefore bailed out with taxpayer money. The banks might be made stronger, but the resulting austerity policies are being borne by all of the Spanish people. And this is, to an extent, what is happening across Europe. Many of the macro numbers of Spain were much better than those of Germany.
Malcomson: At the same time, there has really been no surge in popular support in Europe for the European project as a whole. Greater integration or centralization is not really seen, at any popular level, as the solution. Indeed, there have been nationalist resurgences in many places, while, simultaneously, individual European states have not just bailed out their own banks but turned to them to support their own national bond markets. There was a resurgence of the dependency of the state on its citizens in its moment of crisis.
Lagos: I think that we must look back at the G20 of George Bush, the G20 of London in 2009, when it took all of 30 minutes for the leaders to decide to increase the resources of the IMF from $250 billion to $750 billion. Well, for how many years had the poorer countries been urging an increase in IMF resources, only to be told it was impossible? What had changed?
The fact is, in April of 2009 everybody agreed that some sort of expansion was going to be necessary to meet the economic crisis and to prevent a depression like that of the 1930s. Unfortunately, later, in Pittsburgh, when [President] Obama kept saying that greater stimulus was needed, many others were thinking, with [German Chancellor] Angela Merkel, that the danger was inflation, and therefore that the right policy was austerity. And that, I think, was a tremendous mistake.
The crisis is mainly a political failure rather than an economic one, rather as it was in the 1930s. If Europe continues to pursue austerity, it will take a decade to recover. The United States, by contrast, will probably do much better, not least because its central bank, unlike Europe's, has the powers it needs.
Malcomson: Let me ask you about that from the perspective of a smaller state. The Federal Reserve's stimulus, via quantitative easing, is in one sense using the power of a dominant, reserve currency to the disadvantage of other economies. Chile has for many years embraced an open international system and thrived as a result. But it is also perhaps vulnerable, since it has no power whatsoever over Fed policies, even as it is affected by them. How does quantitative easing look from the perspective of Chile?
Lagos: I remember when I was, in 1971, in the United Nations complaining that the backing of the dollar by the gold standard was abandoned by [President] Nixon on August 15 of that year. And the question was: What is going to be the backing of the dollar? And the answer was: the US economy. So the United States has the power to do quantitative easing, because the rest of the world is willing to accept the American currency. This is, of course, not the case with the euro, and even less so with currencies from small countries like Chile.
But I think that the main factor in the case of Brazil, for example, or of Chile, whose currency has appreciated greatly, is that their main exports, notably to China – soya beans in Brazil's case, copper in Chile's – have experienced such high demand.
As far as openness is concerned, it is true that Chile has a very open economy, and has been growing in recent years at about 5 percent. But it is also important to remember that 95 percent of Chile's international trade is done within the structure of free-trade agreements. So we do not see a contradiction between open markets and governance. On the contrary, our experience has led us to see them as complementary, with global governance being necessary to the continuance and strengthening of freedom in trade, financing, and other areas.
How is it possible to have globalization without rules? To put it mildly, if we have a globalization without rules that means we will have a globalization whose rules will be set merely by the most powerful.
This alone makes small countries highly motivated to advance global governance. That is even more true because so many of the biggest challenges we face – drug trafficking, migration, and above all, climate change – are far beyond the capacity of any small nation to solve on its own.
For now I am hopeful that Mr. Obama, having been safely re-elected, and the new leadership in China, will both seize the moment. I think Obama is inclined toward global problem-solving anyway, and I think the new leadership in China is highly motivated, including for internal, domestic reasons, to find ways of addressing climate change in particular.
