It is one of those stomach turning stories showing the ignorance of mankind that turns into a heartwarming story showing the best of mankind. Meet Beauty, pictured below, an American Bald Eagle who was the unfortunate victim of the cruelty of man. She was rescued in Alaska by Janie Fink of the Raptor Chapter located in St. Maries, Idaho. Someone had shot the top part of her beak off and left her to die. The damage was so extensive that officials gave her no chance of survival. However, Ms. Fink refused to give up on her and the story that follows is amazing.
Beauty's damage basically crippled her. Her beak was broken all the way back to her sinus cavity. She was emaciated and couldn't drink or eat on her own. In fact, the Raptor Chapter folks had to feed her with liquefied food through tubes in order to get her strong enough to eat more solid food. Her injury was so debilitating, they described it as trying to eat food with a single chopstick. Beauty's luck however, was about to change. On a fateful day when Janie Fink was making a raptor presentation, she ended with the riveting story of Beauty. This story fell on the ear of Nate Calvin, a Mechanical Engineer and founder of Kinetic Engineering Group. It just so happened he had brought his daughters to see the raptors that day and he was compelled to help Beauty get a new chance at life. Against all odds, and many naysayers, Nate and his team used highly advanced CAD software, typically used for aerospace engineering, to develop a prosthetic beak. This was a very complicated design that was a first of its kind. With the help of Nate's personal dentist, he was able to fit Beauty with a prosthetic beak that actually permitted her to drink water on her own again. See the embedded video below for more details.

Bet you're looking forward to a little golf, cocktails outdoors after work and perhaps even a few lost long weekends this summer. What if your plans suddenly get waylaid by the baby boom? It is easy to get flustered when a flurry of new arrival announcements and shower invitations star pouring in. So, we checked in with leading baby gift consultant Jill Notkin, who sets us straight on what to buy, what to spend and where to be.
Question:How much should individuals spend on a baby gift?
Since it seems like everyone has babies in clusters, you don't want to break the bank buying baby gifts.There are several factors to consider when deciding on your gift budget.Is the recipient a good friend of yours? Does the recipient sign your pay check? And finally, how much can you afford to spend?
It is my opinion that a baby is something to celebrate. If it is your college roommate or BFF blessed with the screaming ball of new baby, consider spending between $75 – $125. Similarly, if it is your boss (or boss's wife or partner) celebrating a new bundle of joy, send a gift that reflects your paycheck. But most importantly, be able to afford whatever it is you spend. No use blowing your lunch money on a jewel-encrusted onesie if you can't afford to. Typically, $50 – $100 is a safe amount.
Question: Any budget friendly ideas for those who are strapped for cash?
Hit your nearest dollar store for a medium sized basket. Then, find your way to Target or Wal-Mart and load up on baby essentials. Bottles, bibs, burp cloths, washcloths, baby wash, etc… Nothing expensive, but do fill the basket and wrap it beautifully with lots of ribbons and bows. A few dollars can stretch a long way and you can be certain the recipient will be grateful for one less trip to the store.
Question: June is definitely baby season. What are some of the trends we are seeing for the summer? What's a good gift if you want to stand out from the rest?
Did you know that most babies are born during late summer months of July and August, and into September? If you're helping to welcome a new baby, my biggest don't is: do not send clothes in size 0-3 months. Everyone sends that teeny tiny size. Do the parents a favor and give them something to look forward to when their baby hits 6 months and is suddenly in need of new threads. Great gifts include a snapsuit and matching blanket by Baby Star. If you want something that will last for years to come, consider a personalized towel. Looking for something that screams luxury? Nothing can top a cashmere sweater by Amber Hagen.
Question: What if a guy's friend had a baby. Is it better to buy something for the new Mom, Dad or the baby?
It's typical to buy a gift for the baby, but nothing is stopping you from sending a little something for Mom or Dad. If you know Mom is nursing, she might appreciate a cozy nursing cover. If you know her taste, don't hesitate to buy her a beautiful diaper bag. Want to surprise Dad with something of his own? A Daddy Messenger Bag might make him feel part of the game too. But always send a little something for baby too, even if it is a small rattle or toy.
Question: It is simply too hard for many singles to attend baby showers. Is it ok to send a gift without attending the festivities?
Again, who are the lucky parents to you? Ask yourself if you would mind if so-and-so skipped your bash. I can understand not wanting to spend every sunny summer Sunday oohing and aahing over rattles and gymini's, but be smart when deciding where to opt out. You don't want to offend your boss or cousin!
Question: What do you suggest for individuals who have doled out tons of cash on wedding presents and more and have never even received a birthday card from their married friends?
I like to think that even marrieds can take the time to remember their single friends' important days. That said, if your too-busy-to-remember friends are having yet ANOTHER baby celebration, feel free to take it down a notch. Don't arrive empty-handed – that's just bad manners, but pick up a little something for the new arrival. Consider a snuggly (and useful) lovey, or a fun and versatile Zoobie Pet. Nothing pricey, just a token gift. (And consider sitting down with your friend when all is a little more settled and tell him/her that it would be nice if they could add your birthday/anniversary to their calendar. No one is exempt from being courteous!)
Question: For those of us who do not have any young ones, can you please provide a definition for the following terms:
a. Onesie- a t-shirt like piece of clothing that snaps between the legs.
b. Burpie Blanket- a small piece of fabric, like a mini blanket, used to wipe spit, drool and other fun stuff that escapes from baby's little mouth. Throw it over your shoulder to protect against spit-up when burping.
c. Zoobie- An ingenious 3-in-1 combination of stuffed animal, pillow and snuggly blanket, in the form of baby's favorite pet.
d. Baby Sling- An apparatus used to keep your hands free while still holding baby close, a sling also helps soothe a fussy baby. A must-have for any new parent!
Question: I was recently informed that many of your customers are single. Why do you think that is the case?
Single people are some of Alex Casey Baby's best customers! Why? Because while many single and baby-free people have friends knee-deep in baby carriers and strollers, single people sometimes need help choosing the latest and greatest to gift to their friends. We can help you pick the perfect gift, while keeping in mind budget and personality. We also take care of wrapping and delivery so really, we are a one-stop-shop!

The big question left hanging by "The Office" season finale a few weeks back was, of course, who would replace Steve Carell's Michael Scott as manager?
Well, it's now official. James Spader is the man. Series producer Paul Lieberstein has confirmed the news to Entertainment Weekly.
"James will reprise his role as Robert California, this uber-salesman that has a power to convince and manipulate, like a high-class weirdo Jedi warrior," said Lieberstein. "He'll have been hired over the summer as the new manager, but within hours, got himself promoted. Within days, he took over the company. James has an energy that is completely his own, and The Office has no tools for dealing with this guy. We're thrilled he's joining our cast."
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
A parade of guest stars tantalized fans with possibilities at the end of the season, but now it seems like the chair is finally going to be filled. But, yes - as Lieberstein indicates - it'll be filled only briefly.
Spader - the best on-screen d-bag of all time, bar none - will occupy Scott's desk for a short time before getting a promotion. He'll then take over for Kathy Bates ("Harry's Law" was re-upped, folks) as Dunder-Miflin's CEO.
Cue the managerial musical chairs once again.
While this seems like a cruel tease for fans, we have to admit it'll make things interesting next season. And, again, Spader is Spader and we will watch him in anything. But casting him as a ruthless ladder climber named ROBERT CALIFORNIA? You make this too easy, "The Office."

David Stern to union: 'I'll see you J.J. Barea and raise you Eddy Curry'
Finally, NBA Commissioner David Stern could not take it anymore. "All right, you want to go tit for tat, I'll go tit for tat," Stern said, according to the participants. "I'll see you J.J. Barea and raise you Eddy Curry." A shot to the gut, just like that.
HoopsVibe`s Very Quick Call: Touché David Stern.
Players and owners met last June during the Finals to discuss the state of the NBA's finances, and the two sides, as expected, argued over the amount owners were paying players.
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban complained that a former player, Tariq Abdul-Wahad, didn't do much of anything after signing a multi-year deal for $40 million.
The players countered by saying Cuban was getting a deal by paying combo guard J.J. Barea a relatively low annual salary of $1 million.
Then Commissioner Stern ended the conversation by mentioning Eddy Curry, who earned an appalling $33 million for playing in 31 games over the last three years.
He's right. NBA players are overpaid, specifically the very well-to-do middle class. And the list of players stealing money is in the dozens.
Here's the question: is this the players fault?
Last I checked the owners signed the checks. Last I checked the owners hired general managers, who were supposed to have the ability to pass on bad contracts.
For instance, nobody forced Abe Pollin and the Washington Wizards to bid against themselves and sign Gilbert Arenas to a six-year, $111 million contract.
Arenas was coming off several knee surgeries. No team was willing to give the combo guard anything close to $111 million. Except, of course, Pollin.
Since signing his mega-deal, Arenas has been suspended for bringing guns into the team's locker room and was shipped to Orlando, where he rarely played. And the Wizards haven't been the same since.
So Stern is right. Players earn too much. He should look, in part, to the owners he represents, and not just the players.
However, we doubt Stern will will raise this point when owners and players finally meet next week to start negotiating the new collective bargaining agreement.
--Oly Sandor.

Don't blink: Stocks race past milestonesMay 14, 2014: 8:16 AM ET
Records are falling on Wall Street faster than you can say "high-frequency trading."
After crossing over the 1,500 line in March 2000, it took the broad index a long time -- 4,790 days -- to break through the 1,600 mark, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices. That's more than 13 years! No wonder that period is known as Wall Street's "Lost Decade."
But it's been a rapid climb since 2013.
Consider: When the bulls pushed the S&P 500 above the 1,700 line in August 2013, the achievement occurred a mere 90 days after the prior milestone. That's shorter than most college semesters.
To surpass 1,800 took a mere 113 days.
The S&P 500 crested above the 1,900 threshold for the first time ever Tuesday, just 172 days from that last big marker. That's less than the Major League Baseball season or a typical pregnancy.
Of course, part of the reason why these milestones have been passed so quickly is the fact that the S&P 500 needs to cover less ground on a percentage basis. For example, the 1,900 milestone represents a gain of just over 5% from 1,800. By comparison, the move between 900 and 1,000 needed an 11% rally.
It's also been a largely bullish time to own stocks. The S&P 500 has surged 33% since the end of 2012 as the U.S. economy continues to grow, Europe's debt mess has been largely cleaned up and Washington's fiscal troubles have eased somewhat.
There have been other periods of speedy milestones on Wall Street, especially during the Dotcom Bubble.
It took the S&P 500 just 50 days to surge between the 1,000 and 1,100 plateaus between February 1998 and March 1998.
The S&P 500 eked out a tiny gain on Tuesday, enough to give the index its 10th record close of this year alone. But that's nothing compared with last year, when the index notched 45 record closes.

Based on the new 41mm Royal Oak chronograph, Audemars Piguet produced a Royal Oak 'Leo Messi' limited edition watch series. Limited to 1000 pieces globally, the watch is available in either steel/tantalum, pink gold/tantalum or platinum/tantalum and it houses a self-winding mechanical calibre 2385 movement. We especially like the gold/tantalum version, as that is certainly something that one does not come across very often. The steel and platinum versions are of course more every day friendly. The watches all come with alligator straps and with an additional sportier rubber strap, both replacing the more traditional stell strap.
The price of the the Leo Messi Royal Oak chronograph ranges from $30,400 for the steel/tantalum model, $51,400 for the pink gold/tantalum and $83,300 for the platinum/tantalum.

Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs. It can be caused by a virus or bacteria, but, in many cases, the exact cause is never found.
Sometimes pneumonia seems like a bad chest cold, but in other cases, it can cause very serious breathing problems. Pneumonia is often preceded by a cold or flu, so, preventing these illnesses can help prevent pneumonia.
What causes pneumonia?
Pneumonia can be caused by a virus or bacteria. In about half of cases, no cause is ever found. Many cases of pneumonia start with a cold or flu which then can lead to the infection of the lungs. Kids under the age of four are most likely to get pneumonia.
Is pneumonia serious?
Young, healthy kids usually recover from pneumonia in a week to ten days, but serious complications such as trouble breathing, pleurisy (inflammation of the membrane around the lungs), and lung abscesses can occur in severe pneumonia. In very severe illnesses, the bacteria that cause pneumonia can spread to other parts of the body.
Can I prevent pneumonia?
There is a vaccine available for pneumococcal pneumonia, the most common form of pneumonia, caused by the bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae. Other forms of pneumonia can be prevented by preventing the illnesses that often precede them, like colds and flu. Wash your hands, eat right, and get plenty of rest to prevent getting sick in the first place.
How do I know if my child has pneumonia?
Kids with pneumonia often have a fever, chest pain, coughing, headache and trouble breathing. They may breathe rapidly and appear blue around the nose and mouth, a condition called cyanosis.
How do I treat pneumonia?
Treatment for pneumonia depends on what causes it. Bacterial pneumonia will probably have to be treated with antibiotics. Viral pneumonia may be treated with antiviral medications, plenty of rest and fluids. If your child has trouble breathing, they may need to be hospitalised so that they can receive oxygen to help him breathe easier. Use paracetamol for fever and headaches.
Should I call the doctor?
Pneumonia can be very serious, so always call the doctor if you suspect that your child has it. If your child is being treated for pneumonia and they doesn't appear to be getting better, you might need to try a different course of treatment. Call your doctor for advice.
What you need to know about pneumonia
- Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs caused by a virus or bacteria.
- Pneumonia can make it hard to breathe and it can be serious.
- The treatment for pneumonia depends on what caused it.
- Pneumonia is most common in older people and kids under four.
- A vaccine is available for pneumococcal pneumonia.

NOAA's Ocean Acidification Program supports research that focuses on economically and ecologically important marine species. Research of survival, growth, and physiology of marine organisms can be used to explore how aquaculture, wild fisheries, and food webs may change as ocean chemistry changes.
A number of NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service Science Centers have state-of-the-art experimental facilities to study the response of marine organisms to the chemistry conditions expected with ocean acidification.
The Northeast Fisheries Science Center has facilities at its Sandy Hook, NJ and Milford, CT laboratories; the Alaska Fisheries Science Centers at its Newport, OR and Kodiak, AK laboratories; and the Northwest Fisheries Science Center at its Mukilteo and Manchester, WA laboratories. All facilities can tightly control carbon dioxide and temperature. The Northwest Fisheries Science Center can also control oxygen, and can create variable treatment conditions for carbon dioxide, temperature, and oxygen. These facilities include equipment for seawater carbon chemistry analysis, and all use standard operating procedures for analyzing carbonate chemistry to identify the treatment conditions used in experiments.
Both deep sea and shallow reef-building corals have calcium carbonate skeletons. As our oceans become more acidic, carbonate ions, which are an important part of calcium carbonate structures, such as these coral skeletons, become relatively less abundant. Decreases in seawater carbonate ion concentration can make building and maintaining calcium carbonate structures difficult for calcifying marine organisms such as coral.
Increased levels of carbon dioxide in our ocean can have a wide variety of impacts on fish, including altering behavior, otolith (a fish's ear bone) formation, and young fish's growth. Find out more about what scientists are learning about ocean acidification impacts on fish like rockfish, scup, summer flounder, and walleye pollock.
Shellfish, such as oyster, clams, crabs and scallop, provide food for marine life and for people, too. Shellfish make their shells or carapaces from calcium carbonate, which contains carbonate ion as a building block. The decreases in seawater carbonate ion concentration expected with ocean acidification can make building and maintaining calcium carbonate structures difficult for calcifying marine organisms like shellfish. This may impact their survival, growth, and physiology, and, thus, the food webs and economies that depend on them.
Plankton are tiny plants and animals that many marine organisms, ranging from salmon to whales, rely on for nutrition. Some plankton have calcium carbonate structures, which are built from carbonate ions. Carbonate ions become relatively less abundant as the oceans become more acidic. Decreases in seawater carbonate ions can make building and maintaining shells and other calcium carbonate structures difficult for calcifying marine organisms such as plankton. Changes to the survival, growth, and physiology of plankton can have impacts throughout the food web.
Ocean acidification is spreading rapidly in the western Arctic Ocean in both area and depth, potentially affecting shellfish, other marine species in the food web, and communities that depend on these resources, according to new research published in Nature Climate Change by NOAA, Chinese marine scientists and other partners.

Ned Colletti and the band, Chicago
Over the last few years, Ned Colletti has become very involved in the Guide Dogs of America and about six months ago, he mentioned to KABC's Peter Tilden in passing that his favorite band was Chicago. Well, KABC stepped up to make a really cool event out of these two seemingly unconnected entities.
On October 22, KABC and Ned Colletti will host a concert at the Saban Theatre and it will serve as a fundraiser for the Guide Dogs of America and The Foundation Fighting Blindness.
Some of our younger readers might not know Chicago or, they think they don't know Chicago. But given that they've sold more than 100 million records, including 21 Top 10 singles, they're the real deal. Those who know them can affirm that.
And TalkRadio 790 KABC will donate 100% of all ticket sales to Guide Dogs of America and The Foundation Fighting Blindness. It's really cool that they are doing this and it's great that Ned has been able to combine a cause close to his heart with a band he really loves.
You can purchase the tickets presale at kabc.com with the password KABC and after that they'll be available at Ticketmaster.

I have one or two LPs by Chicago, they were very popular. Or maybe they still are but I'm more interested in the Dodger offense, Was it the Cards pitching or have they broke out of their long slump?
I guess that's a question we'll soon find out. But no matter, I doubt that we won't win 3 more games. We won't lose 100 games.
How much more we can expect depends on whether they can continue this surge. It looks like we have the pitching but only time will tell.
Ethier has to turn it around.
No disrespect to the city of Chicago or the band named after that city's Transit Authority system, not even addressing dog's that provide services, but I can't resist the sling at NED, Does he use the guide dogs to help him make trade or contract decisions, if he does, that might explain the awful trades he has made, these dogs don't read as far as I know.; BUT if he does use the dogs to make deals while listening to 25 or 6 to 4, "sitting cross-legged on the floor" that explains it, Time to change breeds, time to change the song and time for a new GM and owner.
Over to "Outside the dodgers" as this dribble news is what the Dodgers want the fans to hear about?
I hear the McCourt kids are changing their last names to either Hitler or Manson, either way something less offensive than McCourt.
I would like to respond to koufax1963's horribly slanderous diatribe regarding Dodger GM Ned Colletti. Mr Colletti has done a remarkable job with our Dodgers and I for one would hate to lose him to the Cubs. However, in the interest of fair play and compassion, I would not stand in his way if he desired to return to his baseball roots.
Ned, please feel free to ask me anytime.
This is just the kind of garbage that I find so trivial and non-MLB newsworthy that has caused me to suggest that Rawitch should turn the whole effort of MLB blogging over to somebody qualified to present some Dodger material that's worth reading. Rawitch has an all-important and impossible job of spinning Frank's image to the extent where people don't puke when they hear the name, and he's obviously trying to do his best for Ned at the same time. Nice going, you spinfucker, but turn the responsibility for this blog over to somebody with a scintilla of objectivity, and if you understandably can't find such a person in the current Dodgers front office, let MLB staff that function. Maybe some of the original bloggers will even return.
I saw that band when they were CTA with Jimi Hendrix. They were OK, but Hendrix drove those hippies nuts.
I found a Chicago LP in our closet the other day, not sure which one it was, but I also have one of their 45's in a tin. Great band, and an odd mashup with the GM… but there have been stranger MCs for a concert, and it's for a good cause for sure.
This isn't the blog for objectivity, it's the official Dodgers blog, and I don't think anybody should be surprised what they're getting here. The people who want a less rose-colored view of things are doing a fine job over at Outside the Dodgers, but I'd never expect to see one bad word written about Frank McCourt on this blog. It's a McCourt brand blog.
"Such a pretty house
and such a pretty garden
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surpises
– Radiohead, "No Surprises"
By the way, I heard some fans got a survey in the mail lately, thought I'd send mine in:
Survey: Grading Frank McCourt's stewardship of the Dodgers.
On a scale of 1 to 5, 5 being "best" and 1 being "worst":
1)Knowledge of baseball: 1.
Mr. McCourt is a real-estate guy, so that can't be helped. But in his stewardship of the franchise, McCourt has proven time and time again that the baseball operations are not his focus in owning the Dodgers, coming up with multiple ways to gerrymander the franchise to the point that the Dodgers, at one time, payed Frank McCourt rent for Dodger Stadium.
2)Knowledge of Dodgers organization: 2.
Mr. McCourt had learned all that he needed to be able to put on a front that he was interested in upholding "Dodger Tradition", then spent the next seven years destroying Dodger tradition in every way imaginable, from moving the team out of Vero Beach while declaring the world "Dodgertown", to crippling Dodger Stadium's reputation as a family environment and "The Best Buy in Town" by raising ticket prices and slapping security offenders on the wrist and throwing them back into the crowd to continue harrassing fans, the unfortunate Bryan Stow incident the only reason the Dodgers have stopped cutting back security over the last 3 years. Not to mention the revolving door of ex-Giants, ex-Red Sox and ex-Yankees that have come and gone over the past seven years.
3) Objectivity: 3.
"Objectivity" is a loaded word. Are we talking "Objectivity vs. Subjectivity"? Frank McCourt's "Objectives" in the direction of his stewardship? In this case, I'll just grade him on his treatment of all fans, from the Pavillion to the Dugout Club. Mr. McCourt's grand plan to renovate all levels of the stadium ended with the Field level, leaving the other levels to fend for themselves in long concession and bathroom lines. He tore out the foul territory that made Dodger Stadium an iconic pitcher's park, and replaced it with super-expensive seating with horrible sightlines that provided more of a view of your neighbor's head than the batter's box. Then, he made the previous front-row owning season ticket holders shell out more cash for what was now at least a 10th row seat. the score of a neutral "3" is given because, apparently, he treats the low-paying and high-paying fans equally bad.
4) Accuracy: 1.
Mr. McCourt can't even get the names of his current players spelled correctly on court documents. His MPA agreement he had Jamie sign turned into a debacle as it was revealed there were multiple versions of the agreement on record, some signed by Jamie, some not. There have been many times where Mr. McCourt has been caught in a quagmire of his own creation in the media, and it is an embarassment to Dodger fans across the world to be represented by a real estate/litigation guy who won't dot every "i" and cross every "t".
5) Storytelling: 5.
This is one area in which Mr. McCourt excells. Every account I've heard/read of people meeting him in public shows a glowing account of a man who is amiable, friendly, and an open book. When he first stepped in as owner, he promised Dodger fans the world, saying he was bringing family ownership back to the Dodgers, espoused his desire for transperancy regarding Dodgers operations, and would continue Dodger Tradition (see #2 above). He soon envisioned Dodger Stadium renovations that would bring the ballpark into the 21st Century in style. In short, previous to the court cases, he knew all the right things to say, the right ways to say them, and the right times to say them, which effectively kept the eyes of the fandom away from what was really going on behind the curtain.
6) Focus on the game: 1.
This is the one area of the eight questions where I would give a zero if I could. Since I ran long in the previous questions, I'll be short with this one. 2009, with the Dodgers going into the NLCS for a second consecutive year against a now-hated Phillies squad, Mr. McCourt thought it would be prudent to beat his wife to the divorce announcement by making said announcement within 24 hours of Game 1. Anyone who actually is focused on baseball could see why this would be a problem, though I doubt Mr. McCourt would fall within that realm.
7) Style: 5.
Can't argue with the man here, he is one stylish guy. From the haircuts that cost as much as a working-class paycheck, to the many, many houses owned by the family (including some a stone's throw from the Playboy Mansion), to the power-couple image that the couple shared pre-divorce, Mr. McCourt exudes style the way George Clinton exudes funk. Too bad it was on the Dodgers (and their fans') dime, in bad faith.
8) Overall Performance: 1.
The McCourt Era was one that begain with good intentions and good feelings, but is shaping to be one of failed promise and half-finished projects. It's a shame, too, because if Mr. McCourt meant every word he said since buying the team in 2004, none of this would have come to pass, regardless of the divorce. If he made the ballclub a priority, he'd be put in the Dr. Buss category, where no one cares what he does, because he makes sure he does what it takes to make his team a winner. Instead, he's materialized into something closer to Donald Sterling, an owner despised by many, who has no ethical boundary preventing him from watching the team decay in front of a fanbase enjoying occasional promotions with no delusions about their place in the scheme of things.
NSB, this is absolutely CLASSICAL! WTG!!!!
NSB, I could not have said it any better. Great job as always.
Thanks Sparkle and LBirken, could not believe that the organization would survey how fans felt about Vin Scully. Vin Scully and Tommy Lasorda are the glue holding the organization together, image-wise. I felt the organization would be better served with THIS survey, heh.
It was 45 years ago this week (no, not as good as Sgt. Pepper's first line), and glad the Dodgers are at least having fun with this promotion. To do my part, I'll add a Beatles song that is impossible for me to keep still while listening to it. I'm a John Lennon guy as far as the band is concerned, but this Paul song just… POW. (And this is the Mono version, for all you audiophiles)
I thought I fell asleep at the computer in the 7th inning and just dreamed it all. I still can't believe it. I'm happy we'll have Scully back again next year. Long live the King.
Having Vin back is somewhat of a relief. All is not lost… yet.
NSB, not sure if you heard Bob Ewbanks talk about promoting the 1966 Beatles concert. The most interesting thing he said was how disinterested the Beatles were in doing these concerts at that time and how Bob felt the Beatles were tired of each other and the music. He mentioned how much the Beatles were paid ($125,000) and figured with all the expenses they ended up maybe with $4000. The Beatles went to Candlestick Park after the Dodger Stadium concert and that was their last live concert performance. Can you imagine attending a concert today with the main headliner performing only 30 minutes?
Hi ITD.
I was referring to the 7th inning last night. It was hard to believe my eyes what took place after Ethier was out at the plate. At this point I thought "Oh how typical".
After that it was almost miraculous.
Vin's a miracle within himself.

Join us for our next Human Capital Exchange Book Discussion! We'll feature a great new book that shapes our thinking in human capital and connect you with authors and thought leaders. Join us to hear from Rajeev Peshawaria, a Senior Fellow, Human Capital, at The Conference Board, on his brand new book, Too Many Bosses, Too Few Leaders. He argues that the biggest void in companies today may well be the lack of inspiring leaders. There is a growing and critical need for leaders who can show us the way out of the current downturn and point the way to a more productive future. Rajeev Peshawaria, also currently the CEO of ICLIF and a former chief learning officer at Morgan Stanley and a veteran of dozens of blue chip companies, shares more than two decades of experience in what it really takes to become an exceptional leader—one who not only runs the company but creates a cadre of supporters who understand the company's goals and missions and work to embody them every day. Part playbook and part an experienced guide through the world of leadership, this book has the potential to unlock the leadership potential inside those who not only lead companies, but run divisions, head up teams and work in roles across their companies every day. Be sure to join us for what is sure to be a lively discussion.
Audience: Human Capital Professionals charged with leadership development, talent management, strategic workforce planning, workforce readiness, diversity & inclusion, strategic human resources, employee engagement or human capital analytics.

Mizzou rallies, survives scare against South Carolina
Late 20-2 run helps Tigers thunder back
Earnest Ross and Jabari Brown hit key 3-pointers in the final 1:11 and No. 22 Missouri overcame 5-for-27 shooting from long range and a 13-point second-half deficit to beat South Carolina 71-65 on Tuesday night.
Ross had a career-best 21 points and Brown had 17 for Missouri (14-4, 3-2 Southeastern Conference), which is 11-0 at home this season and has won 12 straight at the Mizzou Arena since losing to Kansas State and coach Frank Martin, now in his first year at South Carolina, on Feb. 21, 2012.
Brown had eight points in a 20-2 run that gave Missouri a five-point lead with just under 12 minutes to go. Alex Oriakhi was 10 for 10 at the line and fouled out in the final minute with 18 points and 11 rebounds for the Tigers, who won despite 33 percent overall shooting.
Brenton Williams had 16 points with four 3-pointers for South Carolina (11-7, 1-4), which has lost four conference games by a combined 18 points and faced its first ranked opponent of the season. RJ Shawson added 10 points for the Gamecocks, who shot 37 percent.
Ross' 3-pointer made it 66-63 with 1:11 to go and Brown's 3-pointer made it 69-65 with 14 seconds left.
Missouri had a huge advantage at the free throw line, going 28 for 36 compared to 11 for 17 by South Carolina.
South Carolina went more than 5 1-2 minutes between points, finally ending the drought on a tip-in by Brian Richardson that cut the deficit to three with 11:34 left.
Missouri was 2 for 23 from 3-point range before Phil Pressey banged one in off the glass for a two-point lead with 4:39 to go.
Missouri trailed at halftime for the third time at home after missing its first 13 3-point attempts, a slump ended by Ross with 32 seconds to go, and shot just 20 percent overall to trail 35-27. Pressey had no points, two assists and three turnovers, and three players were 0 for 3 from long range, and the Tigers stayed in range with 14-for-17 free throw shooting.
South Carolina hit four of its first five 3-pointers, three days after going just 4 for 21 in a home loss to Vanderbilt. Williams had three of the 3-pointers for the Gamecocks, who shot 41 percent.

ATV mission scenario - animation
The International Space Station depends on regular deliveries of experimental equipment and spare parts as well as food, air and water for its permanent crew. From 2008, Europe's Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) has been one of its indispensable supply spaceships.
After launch, ATV is well protected at the top of Ariane 5 during a three-minute, high-pressure aerodynamic ascent. 100 minutes after liftoff, ATV becomes a fully automatic spacecraft navigating toward the International Space Station.
ATV uses its laser-guided rendezvous sensors to dock precisely and safely, becoming a habitable extension of the Station.
The 45 m³ pressurised module can deliver up to 6.6 tonnes of equipment, fuel, food, water and air for the crew, and is used to raise the Station's altitude, which naturally decreases over time due to atmospheric drag.
Six months later, loaded with 6.4 tonnes of waste, ATV separates from the Station and burns up during a controlled reentry high over the Pacific Ocean.

VIDEO DOWNLOAD - Ken Patera Shoot Interview
Out of control is one way to describe it. Completely insane is another. One thing everyone can agree on is that the shoot was a Must Watch in every way possibly and finally we have found another wrestling superstar who recorded a shoot interview that you won't be able to tear yourself away from no matter how hard you try!
Ken Patera, Olympic athlete and wrestling strongman sat down for career defining interview that even had our eyes bugging out, and we've seen everything! We're sure you've heard the rumors that Patera has the potential to go postal if asked the wrong questions and we were more than ready to pepper Ken with the questions YOU wanted asked, even at the risk to our health! We asked Ken point blank about his infamous arrest after attacking a McDonald's and were able to get his side of this incredible story. After getting that question out of the way, we knew we could ask anything, and the interview really picked up steam as Ken answered everything we threw his way.
Patera talked about starting his career in weightlifting and how it got him into the Olympics. The conversation moved over into wrestling, and Ken talked about breaking into the business through Verne Gagne's AWA and just gave us a ton of stories centering on Verne Gagne's much loved promotion. How did Patera meet Ric Flair and exactly why did Flair want to quit the business during a time when the two shared an apartment together? You'll get the answer to that along with a lot more AWA stuff.
We know what you want, WWF dirt and Patera held nothing back as he talked about leaving Minnesota for New York and working for the biggest circus in wrestling. Every big name of the era is talked about including: Bob Backlund, Superstar Billy Graham, Bruno Sammartino, Dusty Rhodes, Big John Studd, Andre the Giant, Hulk Hogan, Ivan Putski and so many more that all long time wrestling fans are going to be completely marking out. Even we couldn't believe what Patera said about Bobby Heenan and Hulk Hogan!
But that's not all! Patera has a special message for Sheiky Baby and this is something you'll want to hear for yourself! One great story after another flowed from a man who clearly had a lot to air out after holding it in for so long. Ken goes off on Billy Jack Haynes and has a frank discussion on the controversial subject of drugs in wrestling, including owning up to his own demons. We covered Patera's time in jail and this is one subject that will have many fans glued to their screens. You want crazy ring rat stories and tales of absolutely insane ribs? This DVD has both in spades and best of all is the Sheik-worthy rants that Patera goes off on that have nothing to do with the subject at hand. Politics, stock investment these subjects sound innocuous but they become hilarious when Patera loses his mind talking about them! This is the one shoot interview you'll be telling all your friends about and quoting for months!
How did you get into power lifting
What was the training like for that back in your day
What do you remember about the Olympics
What was steroid use like back then
How did you break into the business
Memories of first meeting Verne Gagne
Did Verne try and get cute with you and stretch you

Mark Oakes
I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and graduated magna from Western Washington University in 1998. As an undergraduate, I divided my time between the English and Psychology departments. However, it was not until I was invited to work on research projects concerning false memory and implicit prejudice that I knew I wanted to go to graduate school in Psychology. After being accepted at the University of Washington, I studied both Cognitive Psychology, with Elizabeth Loftus and Susan Joslyn, and Social Psychology, with Anthony Greenwald. Because I was interested in both these areas of Psychology, I gravitated toward the field of Social Cognition, or the study of how people understand themselves and others. I received my Ph.D. from the University of Washington in 2005 and took a visiting job at Hamilton College. I spent six years at Hamilton College as a visiting professor (2005-2011), where I taught classes in Social Psychology, Social Cognition, Stereotypes and Prejudice, Human Memory and Cognition, as well as Introductory Psychology. I also supervised senior thesis and undergraduate research projects, several of which have been presented at national conferences. In addition to my teaching duties at Hamilton, I was an assistant coach for the men's and women's tennis and squash teams from 2008-2011. After receiving the Sidney Wertimer prize (awarded by the student body to a Hamilton faculty member who shows enthusiasm for teaching and supports students in their extra-curricular activities), I knew that I wanted to continue my career at a small liberal arts institution. Upon visiting St. Lawrence, I knew I had found a great fit; St. Lawrence's emphasis on teaching and undergraduate research was what I enjoyed most about my job. I joined the faculty at St. Lawrence in 2011, and I teach Social Psychology, Research Methods, and Introductory Psychology. My current research interests involve self-esteem, stereotypes and prejudice, and embodied cognition. Recent collaborations with students include projects on fragile and implicit self-esteem, reducing implicit prejudice, mate preference, relational aggression, and forgetting. When I am not in the classroom or laboratory, I enjoy watching science fiction, playing sports, and hitting the links.

About this paper
The regulatory guidance on model risk management requires that banks adopt a process of periodic model verification, threshold tuning, and validation. While the exact approach taken to perform these activities has been widely left to the bank's discretion, using a robust approach that has been adopted by peer banks is a reasonable approach to take. The approach described above should provide bank compliance officers with insights to the approach that SAS has adopted to use when performing scenario verification and threshold tuning projects and help guide their decision on selecting an approach for their organization to adopt.

Old Tauntonians and Romsey had a dream weekend as they retained their unbeaten record in the Southern Electric Premier League Division Three whilst their rivals suffered defeat.
It wasn't straightforward for OT's whose win over Fareham and Crofton was secured by just three runs but with their nearest rivals United Services Portsmouth and previously unbeaten Sarisbury Athletic both defeated, it made it a very satisfying weekend.
On a hot and sultry afternoon Jody Brown chose to bat first after winning the toss,.
Despite losing Gus Flack with the score on 20 the Romsey side made a good start with Danny Mills and Brown sharing a half-century stand for the second wicket.
The fall of Brown's wicket brought about a mini-collapse as Mills fell for 37 after hitting five fours, then the usually prolific Max Smith went for a duck leaving the visitors tottering on 73-4.
Paul Longland didn't last long he hit a quick fire 13 (three fours) but a recovery of sorts was needed.
Charlie King and Stuart Shapland, pictured above, put on 30 before Shapland was controversially stumped for seven.
Wicket-keeper Keith Trodd then built some momentum. King played carefully waiting for the bad ball to dispense to the boundary whilst keeping the scoreboard moving with singles and twos.
Trodd meanwhile was advancing the score quicker and when the latter was finally caught for 37 the pair had brought the score to 197-7.
Danny Mogg fell for five runs, then Jon Dowling came to the front with some lusty hitting, his score of 33 was made off just 20 balls and included three fours and a huge six.
King was finally out for a well made 59 from 107 balls, with six fours and one six, and the innings ended with OTs 255-9.
"A much better score than it looked likely at one time," said skipper Brown.
Fareham and Crofton made a good start in their quest to chase down the visitors' target.
Luke Gould and Gary Wylde opened with 73 in just 12 overs before Dowling struck forcing Wylde into a pull that was well held at mid-off by Brown.
The second wicket also fell at 73, Gould caught by Stuart Shapland off Dowling.
The partnership of the innings between Kevin Light and Brent Jarvis-Spinks put together 97 in 21 overs.
Jarvis-Spinks was particularly punishing on the bowlers and it took a quick brilliant throw from the deep way out at long-off by Shapland to run him out.
Wickets were falling at steady intervals as the score inched towards the winning target.
Shapland then took charge with the ball as he removed two Fareham batsmen with Danny Mills picking up the vital wicket of the Fareham captain Marchant for eight.
Shapland then took three wickets in one over as tension mounted.
He had collected five wickets for 45, his first five wicket haul in the Southern League for OTs.
When Marchant was out at 244-9, 12 runs were still needed to inflict the first season's defeat on the local club.
Craig Durant struck a boundary to have the home side ecstatic, but up stepped Danny Mogg to bowl him and give his side an exciting three run win.
