NEWS- D.I.Y. safety: After hand-flags, City lights up
The City has unveiled another fossil fuel-friendly pedestrian safety tool at a high-profile downtown location. But unlike its last high-profile crosswalk experiment, the hand-carried flags of 2002, this one avoids social stigma. In late February, workers installed do-it-yourself solar-powered warning lights at the Water Street crosswalk between the Charlottesville Ice Park and the Lewis & Clark Square condominiums. Already, pedestrians are smiling.
Maurice Adams of Fluvanna praises the way the system halted traffic. "It worked really well," he said last week, "[cars] stopped automatically."
Adams' experience stands in stark contrast to a scary scene the City's chief planner, Jim Tolbert, encountered a few months ago: a woman had fallen out of her wheelchair on that crosswalk, and Tolbert says that as he rushed to pick her up, "A car nearly got both of us."
The dangerous crossing is located mid-block where drivers might not not be expecting a crosswalk, especially one that serves as the main western exit for the bustling Downtown Mall.
"You've got that blind curve from Ridge-McIntire," says Tolbert. "So I asked the traffic engineer to take a look, and this is the solution she came up with."
The solution includes a light-bedecked pole warning eastbound drivers on Water Street before they reach the crosswalk as well as poles with pairs of yellow lights at the the crosswalk's two ends.
Because they're powered by solar cells and connected by radio waves, the City doesn't have to dig up streets as it might for, say, traffic lights. The cost for each system is $6,200, according to city engineer Jeanie Alexander.
"I use this crosswalk at least once a day," said city resident Jesse Matthews last week. "I hadn't noticed the new lights, but I think they're definitely necessary."
This is actually the second such installation; Preston Avenue near Washington Park got a similar system last year.
In recent years, the City has beefed up its pedestrian perks. Contrasting crosswalks have been peppering the town since the late 1990s, and one year ago, the City placed flexible day-glo yellow signs in the middle of some crosswalks to remind drivers that state law gives pedestrians the right of way. However, an October 2002 experiment probably won't be repeated.
A month after a professor was injured by a vehicle, the City and University partnered on a creative proposal behind New Cabell Hall. Pedestrians were urged to pick up mobile flags from buckets before crossing the wide and heavily trafficked expanse of Jefferson Park Avenue. However, the flags mysteriously disappeared, and one woman quoted in a contemporary account in the Cavalier Daily branded the scheme "ridiculous."
Alexander laughs and calls it "creative."
"It would have worked if the flags had stayed put," says the University's director of parking and transportation, Rebecca White, noting that the flags were never intended as a permanent fix. That crosswalk was moved east after a few months, and by this July White expects construction to begin on the safest way ever devised to cross Jefferson Park Avenue: a grassy terrace in the $160 million South Lawn Project.–with additional reporting by Sara Gilliam
Skateboarders Siki Lopez and Hayden Ardvey trigger the light themselves.
The first name of the City Traffic Engineer was misspelled in the print version of this story; it has been corrected in this online edition–editor

All for energy efficient alternative, but these lights are hardly noticed by cars. The preceding area (coming down from Lewis and Clark statue) is poorly lit and the brightness of the two new lights is very dim. They look to be 1/4 as bright as any other light in the area.
I still will not attempt to cross by myself or with my kids until I have eye-contact with drivers and know that they are stopping.

Expanding β-cell mass through β-cell proliferation is considered a potential therapeutic approach to treat β-cell failure in diabetic patients. A necessary step toward achieving this goal is to identify signaling pathways that regulate β-cell proliferation in vivo. Here we show that osteocalcin, a bone-derived hormone, regulates β-cell replication in a CyclinD1-dependent manner by signaling through the Gprc6a receptor expressed in these cells. Accordingly, mice lacking Gprc6a in the β-cell lineage only are glucose intolerant due to an impaired ability to produce insulin. Remarkably, this regulation occurs both during the perinatal peak of β-cell proliferation and adulthood. Hence the loss of osteocalcin/Gprc6a signaling has a profound impact on β-cell mass accrual during late pancreas morphogenesis. This study extends the endocrine role of osteocalcin to the developmental period and establishes osteocalcin/Gprc6a signaling as a major regulator of β-cell endowment that can become a potential target for β-cell proliferative therapies.

First off, I love Apple products. I've had only Apple computers for just about 2 decades, and have been really happy to see their products evolve in that time from bold, renegade items to the refined, powerful computers they are today. My lab is filled with Macs, and I view the few PCs that we have to use to run our microscopes with utter disdain. (I'm sort of okay with the Linux workstations we have for power applications, but they honestly don't get very much use and they're kind of a pain.)
That said, lately, I've noticed a couple problems, and these are not just things like "Apple doesn't care about Mac software reliability" or "iTunes sucks" or whatever. These are fundamental bets Apple has made, one in hardware and one in software, that I think are showing signs of being misplaced. So I wrote these notes on the off chance that somehow, somewhere, they make their way back to Apple.
One big problem is that Apple's hardware has lost its innovative edge, mostly because Apple seems disinclined to innovate for various reasons. This has become plainly obvious by watching the undergraduate population at Penn over the last several years. A few years ago, it used to be that a pretty fair chunk of the undergrads I met had MacBook Airs. Like, a huge chunk. It was essentially the standard computer for young people. And rightly so: it was powerful (enough), lightweight, not too expensive, and the OS was clean and let you do all the things you needed to do.
Nowadays, not so much. I'm seeing all these kids with the Surfaces and so forth that are real computers, but with a touch screen/tablet "mode" as well. And here's the thing: even I'm jealous. Now, I'm not too embarrassed to admit that I have read enough Apple commentary on various blogs to get Apple's reasons for not making such a computer. First off, Apple believes that most casual users, perhaps including students, should just be using iPads, and that iOS serves their needs while providing the touch/tablet interface. Secondly, they believe that the touch interface has no place, both ergonomically or in principle, on laptop and desktop Macs. And if you're one of the weird people who somehow needs a touch interface and full laptop capabilities, you should buy both a Mac and an iPad. I'm just realizing now that Apple is just plain wrong on this.
Why don't I see students with iPads, or an iPad Pro instead of a computer? The reality is that, no matter how much Apple wants to believe it and Apple fans want to rationalize it (typically for "other people"), iOS is just not useful for doing a lot of real work. People want filesystems. People want to easily have multiple windows open, and use programs that just don't exist on iOS (especially students who may need to install special software for class). The few people I know who have iPad Pros are those who have money to burn on having an iPad Pro as an extra computer, but not as a replacement. The ONLY person I know who would probably be able to work exclusively or even primarily with an iPad is my mom, and even she insists on using what she calls a "real" computer (MacBook Pro).
(Note about filesystems: Apple keeps trying to push this "post-filesystem" world on us, and it just isn't taking. Philosophical debates aside, here's a practical example: Apple tried to make people switch away from using "Save As…" to a more versioned system more compatible with the iOS post-filesystem mindset, with commands like "Revert" and "Duplicate". I tried to buy in, I really did. I memorized all the weird new keyboard shortcuts and kept saying to myself "it'll become natural any day now". Never did. Our brains just don't work that way. And it's not just me: honestly, I'm the only one in my lab who even understands all this "Duplicate" "Revert" nonsense. The rest of them can't be bothered—and mostly just use other software without this "functionality" and… Google Drive.)
So you know what would be nice? Having a laptop with a tablet mode/touch screen! Apple's position is it's an interface and ergonomic disaster. It's hard to use interface elements with touch, and it's hard to use a touch screen on a vertical laptop screen. There are merits to these arguments, but you know what? I see these kids writing notes freehand on their computer, and sketching drawings on their computer, and I really wish I could do that. And no, I don't want to lug around an iPad to do that and synchronize with my Mac via their stupid janky iCloud. I want it all in one computer. The bottom line is that Surface is cool. Is it as well done as Apple would do it? No. But it does something that I can't do on an Apple, and I wish I could. Apple is convinced that people don't want to do those things, and that you shouldn't be able to do those things. The reality seems to be that people do want to do those things and that it's actually pretty useful for them. Apple's mistake is thinking that the reason people bought Apples was for design purity. We bought Apples because they had design functionality. Sometimes these overlap, which has been part of Apple's genius over the last 15 years, and so you can mistake one for the other. But in the end, a computer is a tool to do things I need.
Speaking of which, the other big problem that Apple has is its approach to cloud computing. I think it's pretty universally acknowledged that Apple's cloud computing efforts suck, and I won't document all that here. Mostly, I've been trying to understand exactly why, and I think that the fundamental problem is that Apple is thinking synchronize while everyone else is thinking synchronous. What does that mean? Apple's is stuck in an "upload/download" (i.e., synchronize) mindset from ten years ago while everyone else has moved on to a far more seamless design in which the distinction between cloud and non-cloud is largely invisible. And whatever attempts Apple has made to move to the latter have been pretty poorly executed (although that at least gives hope that they are thinking about it).
Examples abound, and they largely manifest as irritations in using Apple's software. Take, for example, something as simple as the Podcast App in the iPhone, which I use every day when I bike to work (using Aftershokz bone conduction headphones, suhweet, try them!). If I didn't pre-download the next podcast, half the time, it craps out when it gets to the next episode in my playlist, even though I have cell service the whole way. Why? Because when it gets there, it waits to download the next one before playing, and sometimes gets mixed up during the download. So I end up trying to remember to pre-download them. And then I have to watch space with all the downloads, making sure the app removes the downloads. Why am I even thinking about this nowadays? Why can't it just look at my playlist and make them play seamlessly? Upload/download is an anachronism from a time of synchronize when most things are moving to synchronous.
Same with AppleTV (sucks) compared to Netflix on my computer, or Amazon on my computer, or HBO, or whatever. They just work without me having to thinking about the pre-download of the whatever before the movie can start.
I suppose there was a time when this was important for when you were offline. Whatever, I'm writing this in a Google Doc on an airplane without WiFi. And when I get back online, it will all just merge up seamlessly. With careful thought, it can be done. (And yes, I am one of the 8 people alive who has actually used Pages on the web synchronized with Pages on the Mac—not quite there yet, sorry.)
To its credit, I think Apple does sort of get the problem, belatedly. Problem is that when they have tried synchronous, it's not well done. Take the example of iCloud Photos or whatever the hell they call it. One critical new feature that I was excited about was that it will sense if you're running out of space on your device and then delete local copies of old photos, storing just the thumbnails. All your photos accessible, but using up only a bit of space, sounds very synchronous! Problem is that as currently implemented, I have only around 150MB free on my Phone and ~1+ GB of space used by Photos. Same on my wife's MacBook Pro: not a lot of HD space, but Photos starts doing this cloud sync only when things are already almost completely full. The problem is that Apple views this whole system as a backup measure to kick in only in emergencies, when if they bought into the mentality completely, Photos on my computer would take up only a small fraction of the space it does, freeing up the rest of the computer for everything else I need it to do (you know, with my filesystem). Not to mention that any synchronization and space freeing is completely opaque and happens seemingly at random, so I never trust it. Again, great idea, poor execution.
Anyway, I guess this was marginally more productive than doing the Sudoku in back of United Magazine, but not particularly so, so I'll stop there. Apple, please get with it, we love you!

Howard Dean doesn't close door to 2016 race
Howard Dean for president in 2016? The liberal Democrat says "never say never. "
The former Vermont governor and Democratic Party chairman told CNN that he would consider another White House bid if he doesn't feel as though the 2016 field isn't focusing adequately on the issues that he cares about. Sunday is the 10th anniversary of Dean formally entering the 2004 presidential race.
"I am not driven by my own ambition," Dean told CNN's Peter Hamby. "What I am driven by is pushing the country in a direction that it desperately needs to be pushed; pushing other politicians who aren't quite as frank as I am who need to be more candid with the American people about what needs to happen.
"I am not trying to hedge, it's a hard job running. It's really tough," Dean continued. "I am doing a lot of things I really enjoy. But you should never say never in this business."
Dean and the staffers and volunteers from his 2004 campaign are gathering in Vermont this weekend for a reunion to mark his presidential bid. He was the front-runner going into the Iowa caucuses in 2004 but finished third and eventually dropped out of the race.
In the CNN interview, Dean said he believes Hillary Rodham Clinton — who is leading early polls on the 2016 race — "is not going to have a pass" if she decides to run again for president.

NORRISTOWN - The Department of Environmental Protection invites residential code enforcement officials, builders, contractors and designers to a Thursday, May 9, training workshop in Exton, Chester County, on the 2009 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC).
The workshop will be from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Wyndham Garden Exton Valley Forge Hotel at 815 North Pottstown Pike. Registration begins at 8 a.m., and breakfast and lunch will be provided as part of the $40 registration fee.
The IECC is updated every three years by the International Code Council. In Pennsylvania, it is considered part of the Uniform Construction Code (UCC), according to Act 49.
The workshop will focus on residential energy plan reviews and inspections. Participants will learn about performing an energy plan review, air sealing and insulation, completing an energy inspection and assessing a plan review and insulation checklist.
The Pennsylvania Housing Research Center is leading the course.
Attendees will receive six UCC continuing education hours for completing the training.
Funding for the workshop is provided by the state through a U.S. Department of Energy State Energy Program grant.
For more information or to register, visit www.dep.state.pa.us or www.paconstructioncodesacademy.org, or call 717-763-0930.

Well, it's actually happening. Bill Gates has taken the witness stand in Salt Lake City, Utah, this morning to testify in Novell's suit against Microsoft over antitrust allegations against the Redmond company dating back to the Windows 95 era.
The Associated Press has a report from the scene.
Gates will be asked to explain an email message he sent in October 1994 that has become a pivotal piece of evidence in the case. Novell's lawyers call the message a smoking gun showing that Microsoft used Windows to give Office an unfair advantage against competing programs. Gates contends that the email is being misinterpreted.
Gates was legendary for his behavior during a deposition conducted by David Boies during the company's landmark U.S. antitrust case, but the Microsoft co-founder has presumably come a long way since then.
The case, filed in 2004, was revived by an appeals court in May.
Microsoft is seeking a dismissal of the case.

Gelinas, Carson were other pieces in Gretzky tradeby Tal Pinchevsky
Less than two months removed from being selected seventh by the Los Angeles Kings in the 1988 NHL Draft, Martin Gelinas was working at a hockey camp near his hometown of Shawinigan, Quebec. The 18-year-old was hoping a strong summer training regimen would help him make a Kings team that was building around youth. Then someone told him the news that seemed impossible to believe.
"You just got traded for Wayne Gretzky."
The idea seemed so crazy Gelinas simply disregarded it and went back on the ice. Within a couple of hours, reporters had swarmed the arena and wanted to ask the young forward about being involved in the biggest trade in NHL history.
About 600 miles away in Michigan, Jimmy Carson was contending with a group of reporters knocking at the front door of his parents' house, where he was spending some time after scoring 55 goals in his second season in Los Angeles.
"I didn't quite believe it and then reporters started flooding the rink," Gelinas told NHL.com. "Back then, it was a blockbuster. It was the biggest trade in sports history."
Carson and Gelinas went on to have long and productive NHL careers. Yet 25 years after "The Trade," the pair is still best remembered as the primary bounty surrendered for the Kings to land "The Great One."
The full transaction was as follows: Gretzky, Marty McSorley and Mike Krushelnyski to the Kings for Carson, Martin Gelinas, $15 million in cash, and the Kings' first-round draft picks in 1989, 1991 and 1993.
The trade was particularly shocking for Carson, who in a short time had established himself as one of the top young scorers in the League. A month before the trade, Kings owner Bruce McNall alerted Carson that he could be involved in the trade, but that the Kings saw him as the future of the franchise. Soothed by this conversation, Carson bought a house in Southern California, hiring McNall's wife, who was working as an interior decorator, to dress up the place. Three weeks later, Carson was on his way to Edmonton as the primary piece going back.
"My wife was a roommate of my sister's from college. They ended up staying in that house. Two college kids in Redondo Beach in a nice outfitted home," Carson told NHL.com. "So it was always a family joke. My sister loved the trade because she got to have the house."
Carson and Gelinas were expected to play large roles on a youthful core in Los Angeles that included scoring wing Luc Robitaille, playmaking centers Bernie Nicholls and Bobby Carpenter, and talented defenseman Steve Duchesne. But with one headline-making transaction, Carson and Gelinas were starting over on a veteran-heavy championship team with few available roster spots.
Gelinas immediately felt the intense media glare of being involved in the colossal trade, not to mention the outrage of a city, and to a large extent, a country that felt it had been robbed of a national treasure. Despite his inexperience, Gelinas was given a spot on Edmonton's roster before being returned to his junior team in Hull.
Carson, on the other hand, faced more pressure. He responded with 49 goals and 100 points in his first season with the Oilers, but the intense scrutiny was a shock to the system.
"The city was in mourning, the country was in mourning. Everyone was in mourning, Wayne Gretzky had just been traded. Unfortunately, rightly or wrongly, I was kind of the symbol of the trade. It was just one of those things," Carson said. "You'd go to the [Northlands] Coliseum and you'd see [Oilers owner] Peter Pocklington hanging in effigy. And the fact that I'm American, it just kind of added to it. Not that they were anti-American or anti-me. It was just the symbolism of Gretzky being gone."
At the start of his second season in Edmonton, Carson was traded to his hometown Detroit Red Wings, where he enjoyed four fruitful seasons before being traded back to the Kings, whom he helped lead to the 1993 Stanley Cup Final.
Now working as a financial advisor in Michigan, Carson finished his NHL career with 275 goals. More than anything, he's embraced his role, involuntary as it was, in the Gretzky trade.
"I'm the kind of guy who always tries to be positive and look forward. When it's all said and done, just be happy and not wishing things had been different," Carson said. "It was very unique. I remember telling my parents, 'I can't believe it, I'm in the biggest trade in the history of sports.' No sooner had I said that, the phones started ringing and people were knocking at the door."
Gelinas never posted offensive numbers quite like Carson's, but his longevity in the League was impressive by any standard. A veteran of 18 NHL seasons, he works as an assistant coach with the Calgary Flames. He won the Stanley Cup in 1990 with the Oilers, one of four teams -- along with the Vancouver Canucks, Carolina Hurricanes and Flames -- he would play for in the Cup Final.
Much like Carson, Gelinas has grown philosophical about how his unique place in hockey history contributed to his success.
"Looking back, I'm in the coaching department now, I was lucky to be surrounded by Craig MacTavish and Kevin Lowe and Craig Simpson; the list went on. So many Hall of Famers," Gelinas said. "It was a big deal, and not everybody liked it. But we had to make the best out of it. Gretzky did what he had to do, I had to do what I had to do as a player and prove myself. So did Jimmy Carson. We were part of a big deal that happened. But after that you had to prove yourself year after year."

Hingis was elected in the recent player category, while Drysdale, Pasarell and Tiriac entered the Hall in the contributor category.
Pasarell won an NCAA title at UCLA and was a member of the U.S. Davis Cup team, before helping grow the sport. As was Drysdale, Pasarell was a key figure at the start of the ATP and has been long associated with the tournament at Indian Wells, Calif.
During a press conference announcing his selection to the Hall of Fame, however, Pasarell made special mention of his affection for NJTL, the nationwide network of more than 600 non-profit youth development organizations that provides free or low-cost tennis, education and life skills programming to more than 250,000 children each year.
Drysdale was a player in the 1960s and 1970s who reached a career-high ranking of No. 4, then helped start the ATP men's tour, serving as its first president, 1972-74. He has been an ESPN tennis announcer since its first telecast of the sport, a U.S.-Argentina Davis Cup meeting in 1979.
Following his own playing career, which included the 1970 French Open men's doubles title, Tiriac has held key roles as a coach, player manager and tournament promoter. His most noted client was Hall of Fame member Boris Becker.
The induction ceremony will be July 13 in Newport, R.I.

In Their Own Words
"A lot of the material I teach is new for many of my students. I was in the same position in the early '70s, so I know how they feel. When they're having trouble with some technical aspect, I let them know that I've been there myself and there's light at the end of the tunnel."
"I demonstrate as much as possible: ways to practice, how this helps my music. . . . I might relate a story sometimes, and very often I'll demonstrate how they'll benefit from it. I also try to get them to think of themselves as musicians instead of guitarists, drummers, or vocalists. I think that ear training classes help to level the playing field so that everybody is considered simply a musician first. Then they can all can strive for equal results, regardless of their instrument."
"I think playing other instruments is great. I do recommend that people become familiar with a chordal instrument, such as piano, guitar, or vibraphone. It'll really help them with hearing chord progressions, which can be abstract to some students."
"I teach a jazz ensemble and I teach a contemporary styles ensemble, which is a lower-level ensemble that gives students the opportunity to play all kinds of things: rock, jazz, funk, Latin. . . . I think it's a good ensemble for students to feel around with styles that they may not be familiar with in a nonthreatening situation. They don't need to feel like they have to be experts. Perhaps they'll even discover some new musical interests."
"I'm entering my 11th year teaching here. I was a student here in 1973. I only have good memories from my time as a student at Berklee, and I'm still close with friends from here. As a matter of fact, my roommate and I still stay in touch and work together after more than 30 years. So when they say you can make connections in the music business for life, it's the truth."

Though it's still unfortunately best known for a bloody indigenous uprising two decades ago, Chiapas, the southernmost Mexican state, has since pursued a future based on eco-tourism. While traditional tourist hotspots like Acapulco seem increasingly ridden with violent crime, Chiapas today remains one of the safer places to travel in Mexico. Its flagship attraction is spectacular: a series of sprawling, ancient Mayan ruins littering the lush rainforest on the state's western side. The long-gone denizens of these once glorious cities were traders and, using the same circuits of waterways they once relied upon, modern visitors can head inland to explore. You"ll want to stay at Escudo Jaguar, a small eco-resort in the town of Frontera Corazol, run by the Ch'ol people – who are in fact descendants of those early traders. The cabins here, known as palapas, have soaring, woven-palm roofs and mosquito nets over the beds, so you can fall asleep to the throaty roars of howler monkeys and the hoots of owls coming through open windows. The property also overlooks the 620-mile-long Usumacinta River, one of the early Mayans' main travel routes, and still the only way to get to the ruins (unless you have a plane small enough to land on its narrow grass strip).
Riding 45 minutes downriver aboard a narrow wooden lancha will get you to Yaxchilan, a Mayan metropolis that dates from circa 250 to 900 AD, and which is adjacent to Palenque, occupied from the first until the early ninth centuries. Deeper still into the jungle is Bonampak, which remained hidden from the outside world for centuries until it was rediscovered in 1946. Wander the ball courts where ulama, the oldest game that involved a rubber ball, was played (the rules are not known, but it's believed the game was somewhere between racquetball and basketball – and possibly human sacrifices!). There are plazas, long, crumbling steps to the still grand palaces, where you can ponder the intricately carved stone slabs called stelae. All of this is beneath a towering rainforest canopy that fairly brims with monkeys and toucans — much as it would have centuries ago.
Back in current civilization, the Escudo Jaguar's restaurant (as well as a half-dozen others scattered along the winding roads between these sites) serves Chiapean cuisine, which features pechuga, or chicken breast, fresh cheese, and hot-off-the-griddle tortillas, along with traditional juice drinks, and a potent sugarcane-based liquor called posh. Fresh fruit abounds here, too – pineapple, papaya, and melon are served at breakfast and sold in markets in every small town, alongside exotic rarities like the slightly citrusy mamey and peach-like rambutan.
More information: Austin, Texas-based outfitter JB Journeys offers three-day, four-night trips which includes tours of all three sites with locally hired guides, transfer from Villahermosa airport, lodging, and breakfast. Direct flights are available from Houston to Villahermosa. [From $375 per person; jbjourneys.com]

Good riddance, August. The Boston Red Sox are surely ready for September after reaching new 2012 lows in Oakland.
Ex-Boston player Brandon Moss had career highs of four hits, four RBIs and four runs, Josh Reddick hit his first career grand slam against his former club, and the surging, surprising Athletics routed the Red Sox 20-2 on Friday night to match their best winning streak of the season at seven.
"Nothing to talk about. The score was 20-2!" second baseman Dustin Pedroia said.
Boston finished the month at 9-20 for the team's worst August since a 9-21 showing in 2006.
Another thump for the Red Sox the week they unloaded their roster.
Josh Donaldson homered for the third straight game with a two-run shot and Moss also had a two-run drive to go with two RBI doubles to help back Brandon McCarthy (8-5) with a season high in runs.
Reddick connected for his 28th homer in the seventh off Mark Melancon as the A's scored their most runs since a 23-2 win over Texas on Sept. 30, 2000. They handed the Red Sox their most lopsided loss since a 22-1 defeat to the Yankees on June 19, 2000.
The A's had a season-best 19 hits and scored 20 runs for the fourth time in Oakland history, while Boston allowed 20 for the first time since Aug. 21, 2009, against the Yankees. Oakland has won six straight against Boston - the Red Sox's longest skid in the series since also dropping six straight in 1969.
"It wasn't any fun for anyone, that's for sure, except for the guys on the other side," Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said.
George Kottaras had his first career two-homer game with a two-run drive and a solo shot on the way to a career-best five RBIs for Oakland (74-57), which matched its win total from 2011 and wrapped up an 18-10 August. The A's hit a season-high five home runs a day after hitting four at Cleveland.
Oakland's nine-run seventh inning was the club's biggest since a nine-run frame last July 27 against Tampa Bay.
Jonny Gomes drove in two runs on a night he helped honor the Little League World Series players from his hometown of Petaluma in Northern California's wine country.
"I don't know that I can ask for much more than 20 runs," A's manager Bob Melvin said.
Donaldson added his third RBI on an error in the seventh, but was lifted for pinch-runner Adam Rosales at third after feeling some tightness in his right hip flexor. He hoped to play Saturday.
McCarthy won consecutive starts for the first time since June, and it was good timing with the A's leading Baltimore by a game in the AL wild-card race heading into the final month. The right-hander missed all of July while on the disabled list for a second time this year nursing a strained throwing shoulder.
Donaldson connected for his fifth home run of the year in Oakland's four-run second against Aaron Cook (3-8), who also surrendered an RBI double to Moss and run-scoring single by Gomes during the inning.
"I feel bad for the other team having to pitch to that," McCarthy said.
Cook's night was over after just 2 2-3 innings to match his shortest outing of the season. The right-hander was tagged for six runs and seven hits and fell to 0-3 over his last four starts.
Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit a two-out solo homer in the fourth for Boston, which lost its fourth straight game after being swept by the Angels in Los Angeles.
"It doesn't help the team any," he said of the latest loss. "I think a game like tonight, you don't see too many of. ... We didn't expect to be where we are right now."
Oakland returned from a 6-1 road trip to notch another impressive win on a night when the Petaluma Little Leaguers, third in the Little League World Series, played catch with the A's on the field before the game and were honored in a pregame ceremony.
While Oakland is expected to activate third baseman Brandon Inge from the disabled list when rosters expand Saturday, Melvin will have a tough time taking Donaldson's hot bat out of the lineup - as long as he is still healthy. Inge has been on the DL since Aug. 12 with a sprained right shoulder.
Second baseman Cliff Pennington made a great catch on a shallow fly ball by Jacoby Ellsbury to end the third, sprinting backward to complete the play, then hit an RBI double in the seventh. Stephen Drew also got into the seventh-inning fun with an RBI single. Everybody on the Oakland roster scored.
Pedroia extended his hitting streak to 11 games with a first-inning single for the new-look Red Sox, who last week sent a handful of former stars to Southern California to join the Los Angeles Dodgers as they try to make a push in the NL West against the first-place San Francisco Giants.
Notes: Red Sox DH David Ortiz could rejoin the club at Seattle early next week or once the team gets back home after he received an injection in his strained right Achilles that landed him on the DL this past Monday. ... RHP A.J. Griffin (3-0) will be recalled by Oakland to start Saturday as LHP Brett Anderson gets an extra day of rest before pitching Sunday. ... Oakland leads the season series 6-1 and have won more than five games in a single year against the Red Sox for the first time since going 7-3 in 2006, the A's last year in the playoffs. ... The 18 runs allowed by Boston matched its most of 2012, also April 17 against Texas. The Red Sox gave up nine runs in an inning for the first time since Sept. 27, 2006, against the Rays.

Lentil and Mushroom Loaf with Savory Potato Filling
I like to make individual free-form mini loaves instead of one big one, and you get four little ones from one batch. I bake the wee ones at 350 degrees C for about 30 minutes. The beauty of this recipe is that it is very adaptable to whatever you have in your pantry. I only made it with wheat germ the first time, and now I make it with bread crumbs. It can be easily be made gluten-free with GF bread crumbs or ground oats too. And you can always replace the soy sauce with salt for a soy-free loaf. No mushrooms? Who cares! Jeni has even made it with zucchini! I cannot recommend this recipe enough, it truly is one of my favorite dishes of all time!
Hello savory potato filling!
Today's TV show Supernatural! (Hello, Sal!) The new season starts today here in the US, and I'm really looking forward to it. It actually took me quite a few episodes to get into this show at first, but I knew it had to get better so I stuck with it. I'm glad I did! The show is a little bit of creepy and a whole lot of funny. It's not a comedy, but the writers keep things comical and the actors are hilarious when they're being silly - although they are mainly badass. One of my favorite things about this show is the music - it's like an ode to AC/DC.
Happy Duck says see you tomorrow! :)

I'm really glad you reprinted this because it looks so good. Back in the olden days we ancient vegans worshiped at the lentil loaf alter, but have forgotten our old ways. I repent. I will make this!ReplyDelete
I'm totally in love with happy duck, do you think he'd mind if I gave him a little squeezy hug? So glad you love this recipe as much as we do River, your photos always look so super AWESOME.ReplyDelete
Hello Happy Duck, you're very pretty!ReplyDelete
And I am still yet to try this recipe, despite your previous gushing!
And I've always wanted to watch Supernatural but I am a scaredy cat!
I made that lentil loaf once and it rocked! It would be even more amazing with potato filling--super nom. And, oh, I wish I could give that duck a hug--the cutest!ReplyDelete
I love these types of recipes but I've never made a lentil loaf with a stuffing before. It looks fantastic and mini-loaves sound even more appealing! Love your duck pics too!ReplyDelete
That looks so delicious! I'll have to check out Supernatural. I'm working my way through Battlestar Galactica right now. Cheers!ReplyDeleteReplies
I hope you like it! I tried Battlestar Galactica but couldn't get into it. Maybe in the future, because I find that at first I can't get into most shows! Picky!Delete
I was watching the Big Bang Theory where Sheldon was making Cylon toast. I figured it was time I watched the actual show. I was hooked pretty quickly. My mom watched the original when I was a kid and I definitely found it boring then. Maybe I'll check out the old ones when I'm done.Delete
The Big Bang Theory is another one that I've been avoiding - but I can tell that I'm going to give in and start watching soon. Long live the geekery!Delete
Happy duck is happy!ReplyDelete
I am so far behind on Supernatural, it is shocking. I must get around to catching up with those beautiful boys. ;)

A loaf filled with potatoes? That's my kind of loaf.ReplyDelete

Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I can't wait to try it! I'm a new vegetarian who wants to be vegan. I've been using meatless meats to try to ease into the transition, but this just might be the first roast I cook that isn't trying to imitate meat! Sounds awesome and satisfying! I might just make it for my meat portion of Christmas dinner this year; I'll be the only herbivore in a meat-loving family ;o)ReplyDeleteReplies
You're very welcome! Being the only herbivore in a meat-loving family for the holidays can be a challenge! I have to say that I will take this delicious roast over any mock meat product any day. I do like my faux meats, but this little loaf is by far my favorite. The potato stuffing really makes it special. May I suggest that you make a trial version before Christmas? I am only suggesting this because Mr. Wing-It likes his a bit more moist, and I like mine a bit more dry, so it might take a trial-run for you to find out how you like it best. Good luck, Sara! :)Delete

I'm going to write my big 100 this month…
Do you have goals? Read what world renown author and editor Micheal Hyatt has to say about setting and reaching goals.
Several years ago, I wrote out a list of "100 Things I Want to Do Before I Die." It's really an amazing, audacious list. Whenever I review it, I am both inspired and stunned by how many of the items I have already accomplished. And yet, there is so much more. The list keeps growing.
I'll bet you have a list, too. Perhaps you've written it down; perhaps not. Regardless, you doubtless want to accomplish things—probably a lot of things. Really important things. Unfortunately, life is short. I have more to accomplish than I could probably do in seven lifetimes.
So how do you actually make significant progress on your goals? How can you get more things done and squeeze as much juice out of life as possible?
One of the most important things you can do, of course, is to write down your goals. I have written about this in The 90-Day Challenge, so I won't repeat myself here. But assuming you have done that, what's next?
I'm going to tell you the single most important thing you can do to make your dreams become reality. I have done this over and over again in my life. To the extent I have achieved any level of success, I believe this is the secret:
Enlist the help of the best coaches and instructors you can afford.
My assumption is that someone, somewhere has already done what you are attempting to do—and done it well. If you can tap into their experience and learn from it, you can get to where you want to go faster and with fewer missteps along the journey.
There are basically three ways you can do this. These are arranged from least expensive to most expensive. However, you can often find free alternatives if you look hard enough.
Read the best, most relevant information.
My journey into uncharted territory always begins with a search on Google. There is a ton of free information on the Web. This will give you a feel for who the experts are and what they have to say. If I want to go deeper, I then buy the best books I can find on a given topic.
For example, when I took up digital photography, I bought the three books with the highest Amazon ranking and the best customer reviews. I did the same when I decided to start running or wanted to learn how to program in Visual Basic. This is a relatively inexpensive way to learn the basics and get a broad working knowledge of the topic at hand.
But this step doesn't just apply to new interests. I continue to read in areas where I am already proficient. I want to deepen my knowledge and my skills sharp.
Sign-up for specialized classes.
I have a short attention span, so full-length, longer-term courses don't work for me. I get bored. I prefer the all-day, three-day, or (occasionally) one-week course. For example:
When I wanted to figure out my purpose in life and where I fit into the totality of God's plan, I attended John Eldredge's Wild at Heart Boot Camp. It was so good that I went back two more times. The last time I took my two sons-in-law with me.
When I wanted to learn how to build a great marriage, Gail and I attended several courses on marriage, some taught by Gary Smalley. (A bit of trivia: Gary and his wife, Norma, introduced Gail and me to each other. He actually performed our marriage ceremony.)
When I wanted to learn how to create alignment in teams, I took a one-week course from Gap International called "The Alignment Intensive." It blew my mind. I use the tools I learned in this course almost every day.
When I wanted to improve my writing skills, I signed up for an intensive one-week course from American Writers & Artists, Inc. called, "The Copywriting Success Bootcamp." This was one of the best professional investments I ever made.
When I wanted to improve my golf short game, I signed up for a one-day course with Nancy Quarcelino, one of the best golf teachers in the country. Though my game is still not all that great, it's a lot better since taking this course.
When I wanted to learn how to use Photoshop to edit my digital photos, I took a one-day course from Ben Willmore called, "Photoshop for Digital Photographers." (Unfortunately, it doesn't look like he is teaching this any longer. But he does have plenty of other great resources.)
When I wanted to learn Byzantine Chant, I attended the Sacred Music Institute at Antiochian Village in Western Pennsylvania. It was a week-long course with one track for chanters and one track for choir directors. It was so good, I took the course again the next year.
When I wanted to get proficient with a handgun, I took four courses from Personal Responsibility, Inc.: "Handgun I: Carry Permit," "Handgun II: Intermediate," "Handgun III: Advanced," and "Handgun Speed and Accuracy." I also took several tactical rifle and shotgun courses.
These are just a few examples of dozens I could cite. Some of these courses were free. Some cost a few hundred dollars. In a few rare instances, the courses cost several thousand dollars. Regardless, you can sometimes find very good, free or inexpensive courses taught by churches or other non-profit organizations or even local colleges. Like I said, enlist the help of the best coaches and instructors you can afford.
Hire world-class experts.
Next, I enlisted the help of real people who could hone my skills beyond what I could learn in a book or garner from a course. For example,
When I wanted to create sustainable work/life balance, I hired Daniel Harkavy, the president and founder of Building Champions. He helped me craft my very first "life plan." He then held my feet to the fire until I got my equilibrium. (He is also the author of the excellent book, Becoming a Coaching Leader.)
When I wanted to create a comprehensive strategic plan for my company, I hired Dan Meub, also of Building Champions. He has consulted with me now for almost five years on every aspect of corporate strategy. He also is one of my most trusted personal advisors.
When I wanted to take my personal leadership skills to the next level and really see how my own thinking was impacting our corporate results, I hired Ilene Meuthing of Gap International. She's basically done a brain transplant on me. However, she's not done. I'm still a work-in-process.
When I wanted to figure out why I kept slicing my drives, I hired Nancy Quarcelino for a two-hour session. She videotaped me, so I could see the problem in my swing and fix it for good. Last week when I played, I hit every drive but two into the middle of the fairway.
When I wanted to get in the best shape of my life, I hired Tom Gmitter at my local YMCA as my personal trainer. He designed a plan that I could have never developed on my own. He also kept changing up my routine, so I wouldn't get bored. He worked out with me twice a week for more than a year.
In addition, in the course of my life, I have hired nutritionists, counselors, music teachers, accountants, lawyers, fishing guides, agents, and various kinds of instructors and coaches. Some have been short-term; some have been long-term. My philosophy is to use them as long as they continue to provide value.
In the end, you can accomplish more than you ever thought possible. And you can do it faster and with better results if you just enlist the assistance of the right guide and do what they say. I can't think of anything else that will help you accomplish your goals more than this.
Question: What coach will you enlist today to enable you to accomplish your goals?

Chick fight! Why female sports violence is a big deal
The New York Times takes on a topic that is sure to guarantee plenty of web visits by disappointed fetishists: girls fighting.
In particular, the Times' Jere Longman is wondering, what's all the hubbub, bub, about breathless coverage of athletic girlfights such as Baylor's Brittney Griner punching an opponent in a women's college basketball game, girls' teams going at it in their Rhode Island high school soccer championship, and, the drama queen of them all, Elizabeth Lambert's hair-pulling performance for the New Mexico women's soccer team.
[youtubevid id="XN5d9X2er38″]
Yeah, you've seen Elizabeth Lambert pull hair, but have you seen her do it to the Mortal Kombat remix?
Longman talks with coaches and experts who surmise that perhaps girls' and women's sports have gotten more violent as women's sports have gotten more competitive and, in some cases, more financially lucrative. Or that the coverage of fights is out of proportion to the usual mass coverage of women's sports, which is to say not much coverage at all. Then there's the whole idea that people still see women as delicate flowers who would never resort to fisticuffs.
The story doesn't go into the larger societal debate over whether girls in general are getting more violent, something you might hear in disappointed tones from police breaking up another school fight, or in hopeful tones from the proprietors of Girlfightsdump.com (home of EXPLOSIVE FIGHT VIDEOS).
Actually, the rate of girls fighting appears to be about the same, with about one-quarter of girls ages 12-17 reporting being involved in a violent incident in two separate national surveys between 2002 and 2008. In its version of the story on the survey, the New York Daily News helpfully illustrates it with stock art of two women about to get their fight on in a battle that will inevitably end with their clothes torn off and them locked in naked embrace bow chicka wow wow.
I'll tell you why their is intense coverage of females fighting during athletic events, and it's the same reason Maria Sharapova highlights are guaranteed to make an appearance — because they give a lot of men a hard-on. Maybe the fights don't technically excite them in the same way as Sharapova in a tennis skirt, but it's better than Viagra all the same.

Virginia Tech shooting victim: "If this is America, I'm scared"
By Heidi Miller
Guest Commentary
I was shot three times at the massacre at Virginia Tech in 2007. As I recovered almost seven years ago now, I gained some solace in the fact that maybe we as a country would pull together and make sure this never happened again. Instead, it's almost as if the opposite has happened.
I have grown accustomed to a mass shooting taking place about every three months. If this is America, I'm scared.
I moved to Colorado two years ago. Since then, blizzards have come and gone, fires have devastated entire neighborhoods, and this weekend rains washed away towns. In their wake, we feel sadness, grief, and the overwhelming sense that Mother Nature can still get the better of us.
There is little blame to lay in these situations, because it seems like maybe the cards we were dealt are out of our hands. When the rains wash our things away, we hold on to those we love. We build our resolve and vow to go on.

28 March | SPRING/SUMMER 2018 COLLECTION II
CHARLES & KEITH SUMMER 2018 is a continuation from the Spring campaign titled 'Garden State'. Based on the theme of new technologies and their increasingly complex role in society, the campaign imagines the effects that social media and digital culture would have on us in the near future.
31 January | SPRING/SUMMER 2018 COLLECTION I

17 July | FALL/WINTER 2017 COLLECTION I
CHARLES & KEITH Fall/Winter 2017 takes inspiration from the ideas, aesthetics and values of pop-culture and postmodern films. The season in a snapshot is a pastiche of highly stylised visuals with vivid contrasts that is iconic to pop culture and post modernism, with a keen fondness for the 50s. Unfolding like the chapters of a story-within-a-story in a theatre setting, the narrative follows a postmodernist ideology, delving into the themes of onscreen clichés, superficial perfection and false realism.
5 April | SRING/SUMMER 2017 COLLECTION II
CHARLES & KEITH SUMMER 2017 explores the stage of illumination during one's creative processes. It is a time where the work gets frustrating, and impulsion slips in before the 'eureka' moment. In the second series of the campaign shot by Glen Luchford and choreographed by Stephen Galloway, the story goes back in time, where Ally Ertel and Peyton Knight first met as strangers. It explores the process where two find comfort in the compromised and clumsy.
2 Feb | SPRING/SUMMER 2017 COLLECTION I
CHARLES & KEITH SPRING/SUMMER 2017 explores creative processes and the way it motivates advancements and pushes our endeavors. Directed by Glen Luchford and choreographed by Stephen Galloway, the campaign follows Ally Ertel and Peyton Knight as they progress from strangers to muse. The vivid film sees them through the exploration of oneself, and realization that you don't have to be so serious because art can express what words cannot.
27 Sep | FALL/WINTER 2016 COLLECTION II
As part of the campaign shot by Glen Luchford, the CHARLES & KEITH FALL/WINTER 2016 story continues its coming-of-age narrative. The campaign story of the carefree and curious period of one's youth is presented such that viewers not only take a glimpse into the playful innocence of the girls, but also a glimpse into their own memories of younger days. Eventually, the mustang prompts the idea of seeking freedom and the great escape outside the mansion.
25 July | FALL/WINTER 2016 COLLECTION
Shot by Glen Luchford, CHARLES & KEITH FALL/WINTER 2016 pays attention to the carefree yet curious stage of one's youth – a period which celebrates vibrancy, freedom, impulsiveness and creativity.

28 Mar | SUMMER 2016 COLLECTION

11 Jan | SPRING 2016 COLLECTION
CHARLES & KEITH SPRING 2016 takes on a bolder approach as slightly mischievous elements are introduced while retaining a minimalistic identity. The idea of contemporary nostalgia is adapted to revive the mood of unforgotten eras that have strongly influenced fashion today.
28 Sep | Winter 2015 COLLECTION
CHARLES & KEITH WINTER 2015 expresses the idea of "less is more" in a collection of functional essentials projected in cool, muted colours. The expression of beauty is challenged by the uprising of a quiet mind in an oasis of silence and seclusion. Functionality becomes the essence but the idea of perfection and beauty remains unforgotten.
09 Oct | WINTER COLLECTION 2012
CHARLES & KEITH goes around the world in globetrotter style this Winter 2012. Travel to the far west of American Old West; experience the Midas touch in Phrygian city Midaeum; head to the urban land of modern archetypal and devote yourself to spiritual work in a pious way of life.

No independent press has operated in this Red Sea nation since a September 2001 government crackdown on dissent that led to the imprisonment of 11 leading journalists without charge or trial and the enforced closure of their publications. President Isaias Afewerki's administration consistently refused to account for the whereabouts, legal status, or health of the jailed journalists, or even confirm reports that some had died in custody. All of the journalists were held without access to their families or lawyers. The only media allowed to operate in the country were under the control of Information Minister Ali Abdu, who enforced rigid control of information and ideas through intimidation and imprisonment. Even state media journalists braved border guards' shoot-to-kill orders to escape the country. Government agents abroad harassed and intimidated media outlets established by exiled journalists. The government's egregious actions drew condemnation from the European Parliament in September 2011, the latest in a series of international censures.
CPJ ranked Eritrea as one of the most censored nations in the world in a 2006 survey. The government's ruthless repression has shielded its leaders from scrutiny.
Eritrea is Africa's leading jailer of the press and the second worst worldwide, trailing only Iran, according to CPJ research.
World's worst jailers in 2011:
Iran: 42
Eritrea: 28
China: 27
Burma: 12
Vietnam: 9
All print, television, and radio news outlets were directly controlled by the government, CPJ research shows. The government's control over the flow of information was near-total.
Vast repression has driven dozens of journalists out of the country over the past decade, according to a CPJ study. The study takes into account journalists who flee due to work-related persecution, who remain in exile for at least three months, and whose whereabouts and activities are known to CPJ.
As of December 31, 2011, Swedish-Eritrean journalist Dawit Isaac had been held for more than 3,700 days in a secret prison without charge or trial. He was among a group of 11 journalists who were taken into custody in 2001 as part of a widespread crackdown that shut the independent press.

text: Why did Chanalyzer Lab not get an update like Chanalyzer 4 & Pro? Usually, they are all updated together, and with the still lingering issues in these threads regarding Lab, it is VERY due for an update. When is a Lab update going to be done? I was expecting it to have the new features you are putting in 4 & pro too.. ?
