text: Back to: Featured Stories September 26, 2012 10:12 PM 150 Years Of Legacy At USD Brady Mallory reports: Vermillion, SD It is a bronze bust of the familiar University of South Dakota mascot. It sits just outside of the Muenster University Center. All you have to do is touch the coyote. "We're looking to start some new traditions, rubbing the coyote statue before a big test," Student Government Association President Alissa Van Meeteren said. Rubbing the coyote could be considered a 'luck' thing for students who are hoping and praying for an 'A' on a test. However, this statue really is not about luck. When you put your hand on it, you are touching 150 years of students, 150 years of educators and 150 years of legacy. It is only fitting that 'Legacy' is the coyote's name. "I'm part of something and I'm part of this family that is older than I can even comprehend," Van Meeteren said. USD celebrated its sesquicentennial back in April, when Governor Dennis Daugaard declared it USD Day. Founded in 1862, USD is not only the state's oldest university, it is older than the state. The University was established when South Dakota was still part of the Dakota Territory Cut to present day, and USD is still making progress. It is easy to understand why Van Meeteren is not just thinking about her classes for her political science major. With homecoming a week and a half away, a tangible amount of energy geared toward this year's Dakota Days on October 6 can be found in students all over campus. Add in the excitement over reaching 150 Years and you have Dakota Days on steroids. "Basically 150 years of alumni, alumni friends and alumni parents coming back to this school and participating in all of the events and basically showing all of the pride they have for the school. For us as students, to see that and share it. That is so powerful,'" Van Meeteren said. You will still recognize D-Days; the parade, the football game and thousands of alumni are all there. "What's really fun is when alumni come back to campus. If they haven't been here for a while, they're excited to retrace their steps," Alumni Association Executive Director Kersten Johnson said. Retracing steps can be a bit tricky since the campus never quite looks the same. It has changed constantly over the last few years, let alone the last century and a half. For example, crews are in the process of adding 30,000 square feet to the Muenster University Center to create even more space to handle an ever-growing student population. You do not have to look far to find a piece of history, though. A few buildings, including one called Old Main, has been standing strong since the beginning. It has had a few neighbors like Andrew E. Lee Memorial Medicine and Science Building and Beacom School of Business pop up over the years, but buildings are not what the last 150 years are about. More than a century's worth of growth can be found in the 132 undergraduate programs and 65 graduate programs. Beyond the medical and law schools, health sciences is a largely growing major. Nursing, business and psychology degrees are among the most popular. Johnson, a USD graduate herself, said even with all of this change, you can find a constant throughout the years if you look through a recently released pictorial history book called, "Pride, Persistence and Progress." "This is the place where you come with your dreams and get the guidance and the education that can help launch those dreams and be the place to launch lifelong friendships and that's going to last throughout our history," Johnson said. This university has launched several doctors, lawyers, senators and ten South Dakota governors. Success like this will not change any time soon because Van Meeteren pointed out the school is already focused on the next group of students, next educators, next traditions; the next 150 years "This is legacy," Van Meeteren said. If you are lucky enough, that legacy might even touch you. "Graduation will be sad. You know, you spend four years making yourself here. That's it, then you leave. But knowing you have a place to come home to; that's important," Van Meeteren said.

GlobalData's new report, "Vision Care Market Outlook in BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) to 2018" provides key market data on the Vision Care market in the BRICS countries. The report provides value ($m), volume (units) and average price ($) data for each segment within three market categories -Spectacle Lenses, Contact Lenses and Contact Lens Cleaning and Disinfecting Solutions. The report also provides company shares and distribution shares data for the overall Vision Care market in each of the aforementioned countries. The report is also supplemented with global corporate-level profiles of the key market participants with information on key developments, wherever available.
This report is built using data and information sourced from proprietary databases, primary and secondary research and in-house analysis by GlobalData's team of industry experts.
The emerging economies, comprising China, India, Brazil, Russia and South Africa, with a significantly large pool of under-served patients, represent the next big opportunity for the leading medical equipment and devices manufacturers. China remains the world's most populous country and is consequently home to a large patient base. The country is home to more than 120 million people who are aged 65 or older-a population in continuous need of medical care. India, the second most populous country globally, is home to 1.2 billion people, approximately 5% of which are aged 65 or older. It's estimated that shortly after 2020, India's population will surpass China, making it the most populous country in the world. As the population continues to grow and people continue to age, the underlying demand for healthcare is also expected to increase.

Virgin says unlimited music downloads 'outdated'
Hang on, it never actually launched ...
Posted in Policy, 4th March 2011 12:57 GMT
Anyone remember Virgin's great unlimited MP3 music service? You can be forgiven for looking stumped. The day before the Carter Report was published in the Summer of 2009 – the report that became the basis of the Digital Economy Act – Virgin and Universal announced they'd be offering unlimited DRM-free MP3 downloads for the price of "a couple of albums per month".
Having snagged the world's biggest major label, Virgin then had great trouble getting the final two, and the independents. Now, two years after the suggested launch date came and went, Virgin's music chief says the idea might now be out-of-date.
Richard Wheeler says he's still hopeful it will launch. That hasn't changed. But since mid-2009 Spotify and rival services have allowed punters to stream music at home and cache it for playback on an iPhone, Android or Blackberry phone. That gives people the same value, Wheeler now thinks. So it might make more sense to work with one of these providers.
"Users' desire to cache tracks and listen to them on the go, that outdates the unlimited download model to a degree," he told a conference yesterday.
Sky attempted something far more modest, but cancelled it due to lack of interest just before Christmas.
The trend in online music is certainly moving towards streaming, and ISPs are keen to offer something – well, anything – in the hope it builds up loyalty and reduces customer churn. But there are strings attached when your music is in the cloud.
Just as CDs come with their own lossless format, wide compatibility, unencumbered MP3 and low prices, MP3s that you buy come with guarantees of portability: I know it is going to play on any device, and be accepted by any music player software. Just try extracting a music file from Spotify's DRM cache ... As a result, I don't rely on streams, or the "cloud", for anything I value. ®

Mission Hills Country Club
Rancho Mirage, Calif. • June 22 - 25
RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. — Michael Weaver of Fresno, Calif., held onto his lead in the Boys Division at the ClubCorp Mission Hills Desert Junior. His second-round score of 4-under-par 68 brought him to a two-day total of 11-under-par 133. Danielle Kang of Thousand Oaks, Calif., and 2007 champion Jennifer Johnson of La Quinta, Calif., find themselves tied for the Girls Division lead, each with a two-day total of 4-under-par 140.
Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, the ClubCorp Mission Hills Desert Junior is a 54-hole stroke play event being held at Mission Hills Country Club - Dinah Shore Tournament Course. The tournament field features 54 boys and 24 girls, ages 12-18, from five states and Thailand. The Boys Division is playing the par-72 course from 7,078 yards, while the Girls Division is playing at 6,172 yards.
Weaver continued his hot streak during Wednesday's second round and finished two strokes ahead of Steven Kearney of Carlsbad, Calif. Weaver had another impressive round, finishing with six birdies and only two bogeys. He had a consistent day hitting 17 of 18 greens and 9 of 14 fairways, which he believed to be the key to his successful round.
"I hit well off the tee and got myself into a good position to get the ball in play," Weaver said. "I wasn't very conservative or too aggressive either."
Kearney sits alone in second after shooting 7-under-par 65 to bring him within two shots of the lead, posting a two-day total of 9-under-par 135. Five shots behind in third is Preston Valder of Yorba Linda, Calif., who posted a two-day total of 4-under-par 140. Alex Bungert of Orange, Calif., sits in fourth after posting 3-under-par 141. Max Homa of Valencia, Calif., and Jake Katz of Thousand Oaks, Calif., are tied for fifth, each sitting at 2-under-par 142.
In the Girls Division, Kang had a steady round, hitting every fairway and 17 of 18 greens recording birdies on Nos. 11 and 18. Kang attributes her nearly flawless round to her much improved wedge game.
"I usually avoid wedge shots," Kang said. "But at this tournament I have been able to control my wedge game and I've stuck everything from 100 yards out to within 10 feet of the pin."
Johnson started her round off strong with birdies on her first and second holes (Nos. 10 and 11). She then went on to bogey No. 14, but rebounded with birdies on Nos. 15 and 18 to finish her front nine at 3-under-par 33. the round with a 3-under-par 69. Johnson said that No. 15 was the highlight of her round.
"I have a tendency to go right when I hit my driver," Johnson said. "But this time I hit the ball right down the center. I then went onto make birdie on the hole."
Tied for third in the Girls Division are Jessica Vasilic of Anaheim Hills, Calif., and Kelli Oride of Lihue, Hawaii, both girls finished at 2-under-par 142.
The American Junior Golf Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf. The AJGA, the largest Association of its kind, has an annual junior membership (boys and girls ages 12-18) of approximately 5,000 junior golfers from 50 states and 30 foreign countries.
Titleist, the AJGA's National Sponsor, has been the catalyst and driving force behind the Association's success since 1989. Rolex Watch USA, which is in its third decade of AJGA support, became the inaugural AJGA Premier Partner in 2004. In 2007, after 12 years of support, Polo Ralph Lauren became the AJGA's second Premier Partner.
AJGA alumni have risen to the top of amateur, collegiate and professional golf. More than 200 former AJGA juniors currently play on the PGA and LPGA Tours and have compiled more than 350 wins. AJGA alumni include Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Jim Furyk, Stewart Cink, Davis Love III, Cristie Kerr, Pat Hurst, Paula Creamer, Brittany Lincicome, Morgan Pressel and Julieta Granada.

The father of Senator Scott Brown died Thursday, the senator said in a statement.
C. Bruce Brown, 75, a Plum Island resident and former Newburyport city councilor, had been hospitalized and in an assisted-living facility for the past year and had suffered from Parkinson's disease.
Brown's father and mother divorced when he was young, and each remarried several times. The senator wrote extensively about his abusive stepfathers and his longing for a relationship with his real father in his autobiography, "Against All Odds." But in recent years, Brown and his father had reunited.
"Growing up, my relationship with my Dad was a complicated one," Brown said in a statement. "As we have both matured, our relationship, respect, and love for each other also matured. He was a good man with a big heart."
Brown said he and his wife, Gail, and their two daughters expressed their appreciation to his father's wife.
"Gail, Ayla, and Arianna and I are thankful for his wife Peggy, her family, and their unwavering love for him during his final days,'' Brown wrote. "I will miss his guidance and sense of humor.''
Funeral arrangements were not immediately available.

lighet wind with a couple of questions
Alright, i guess im a veteran to this forum... lol i ask a lot of questions... but here goes another one,
Alrighty, I just bought a 2006 Naish redline sail for a pretty good price used for some lighter wind fun. I as you know have a G0 139 and the addition to this 7.6 would really compliment the race fin that came with my go (the 48 NR). Just wondering about lighter wind sailing compared to higher wind sailing. I figured pumping might be a bit harder with a 7.6 so scratch that for my main technique for getting up onto a plane... Here are my questions:
1. I just got some new hanress lines (lol as you know with my last post) that are 24-28 Dakine Classic Reactive. Should they be shorter for earlier planning?
2. Also should i set up the footstraps in the intermediate setting (middle of the board) to get planing faster? or keep them on the rail...
3. Should the footstraps be further forward? or more back for the fin pressure in lighter winds...
4. And what do people mean by the maintaining fin pressure to keep on a plane in a lull? usually when a lull hits, im schlogging again
I guess it depends on how well im powered on the new 7.5 but i was just wondering to really get all the wind range i can out of my Go, my 6.6 and my 7.6 (for the lighter days (im guessing around 13 knots and lower. I am roughly 145-150 soaking wet, 5 11 to 6 foot. Last year i could scratch up onto a plane in around 12 knots with my 6.6 and just hanging off of it etc... but this year im 10-15 pounds heavier...
Thanks for your help,

RE: lighet wind with a couple of questions
Hi Thomas,
Ummm... what is it about pumping that you think will be more difficult with the 7.6 vs your 6.6?
As for the harness line length, that's something you are going to have to work out yourself.
Boom height will affect harness line length. You may find you want to run your boom higher with the 7.6 m2 rig.
Mast foot placement can affect harness line length to some degree.
You may find that the mast foot needs to move forward slightly for the best early planing with the 7.6 m2 rig.
Where your footstraps are placed can also affect harness line length.
So, I think that since you've gotten accustomed to the footstraps all the way back and all the way outboard, you will need to stay with those positions.
Moving the footstraps inboard is not going to result in earlier planing.
Go with what you know, and try different mast foot positions to find out where the "sweet spot" with the 7.6 m2 rig is in a variety of conditions.
You may find you need different mast foot positions for the best early planing (you will need to pump here) and different mast foot positions for higher wind conditions.
The 48 cm fin will be good with the 7.6 and up to around 8.5 m2, but if you want the earliest planing, you may want a larger fin (56-62 cm should be good).
I'm having alittle trouble with the "maintaining fin pressure to keep on a plane in a lull"..... I'm not sure you can do this, and trying to "push the fin" when the wind drops suddenly (a lull) normally is one of the principle causes of the dreaded "spin out".
You can keep some load on the fin, and the board will continue to plane, but if you don't back off the fin pressure (compared to when you are powered up) you create an imbalance between the drive of the rig and the leeward resistance of the fin, and this imbalance leads to too much pressure on the fin with resultant "spin out".
When you run into a lull, you have to avoid falling back (this oversheets the rig and shuts off the power even more) and also tends to make you "push th fin" too hard, resulting in spin out.
So when you encounter a lull, you need to reduce fin pressure, maintian as much rig drive/pressure as possible, and avoid "falling back".
This requires a bit of a change in stance.
I'm not sure how the increase in sail size is going to offset your increase in weight, but I think you will probably get planing in about 10 knots when you learn how to pump efficiently.
Hope this helps,

RE: lighet wind with a couple of questions
i work with the GO139 and an arrow sails craze 7.6. along with the drake fin 480 it works really ghood in lighter winds. Once i hit 4 bft so about 12 knots i can get this baby planning. I use 28 inch harness lines which are perfect for such conditions though for lighter winds i must say they're too long and i could do with some shorter lines. As for footstraps: once i get planning with the go and the 7.6 i just step into my footstraps which i have set at the most extreme position on the GO139, though i must say, with only 12 KNT i just put my front foot in and i place my rear foot between the 2 back footstraps, else i just push the boad out of wind and balance.
I personally weigh 90 kilograms, so if you weigh less you can get the go planning at like 10 or so knots. I use my go for the lightwind dfays aswell, as i've just bought a mistral flow 284 for the higher winds (i found that the go with smaller sails and smaller fins has a tendency to get blown away as to speak, you really have to lean back else you're just screwed).
one more thing to add, when you get about 1 knt in a 7.6 sail you have to hang into your sail to an utter extreme sometimes just dso u can hold that wind and that speed. 12 knt winds are usually quite irregular and my experience is that you really need to go back and forth a few times before you know exactly which direction you have to go to get the max in wind.
hope this is usefull to u

RE: lighet wind with a couple of questions
Ya thanks guys... Roger, for the pumping thing, i think im just afraid of it being too big...but i guess not. I will tinker around with that mast foot thing. I usually have'er right in the middle or slightly back. I also just bought a brand new extension because the luff of the redline is around 494 and my only extention is the tall one so with a 490 mast it would well suck... So i bought the stubby one as well as a new hood for the cold weather here in canada
I will update this once i get out on it... I CAN'T WAIT
thanks for your help roger and crazychemical... if you can get it up with 12 knots and you are 30 kgs heavier... i should have no problem in 10... but glad to hear someone else has a Go 139 and likes it... starboard really did a good job with it

RE: lighet wind with a couple of questions
totally! i'm so not dumping this board, i'm just gonne keep using it as my light wind board, i mean, it can carry sails up to 9 m² and cuz i'm a naughty boy i say 9.5m² . And it just planes like hell, i swear i can beat S-types with it once it get my baby pumping. Only, it just won't go airborne, but as a freeracer it is amazing! i have my quiver ready: my Go139 and a mistral flow284 (113 L), i'll get there someday :d.
PS: you'll be flying with the go in 10 knts in no time mate!

YANGON, Myanmar – A firebrand monk blamed Islamic extremists Monday for a small bomb that slightly wounded five people when it went off while he was preaching in Myanmar's second-largest city, though police said it was too early to speculate.
The blast occurred at 9 p.m. Sunday during a religious ceremony on the outskirts of Mandalay.
Ashin Wirathu — a monk accused of inciting violence with hate-filled speeches targeting the country's minority Muslim community — seemed unfazed as he carried on with his sermon, said Ma Sandar, a witness.
"It wasn't a loud explosion," the 35-year-old said, comparing the sound to that of a tire-blast. "But it caused some commotion. Many people left."
Myanmar, a predominantly Buddhist nation of 60 million people, has been gripped by religious violence since emerging from a half-century of military rule just two years ago.
More than 250 people — most of them Muslims — have been killed and another 140,000 displaced by Buddhist mobs, who have gone on rampages in several cities in the last 14 months, chasing down victims with metal pipes, chains and swords.
A police officer, who asked to remain anonymous because he was not authorized to speak to the media, said it was unclear who was behind Sunday's bombing.
A small device was placed under a car, he said, about 60 feet (18 meters) from where Wirathu was speaking.
The monk immediately called it the "work of Islamic extremists."
"Ordinary Muslims wouldn't have done this," he told The Associated Press by telephone Monday from his monastery in Mandalay.
Wirathu, is the leader of 969, a fundamentalist Buddhist movement which started on the fringes of society but now boasts supporters nationwide.
He has called for a boycott of all Muslim-owned shops and is pushing for a law that would restrict marriages between Buddhist women and Muslim men.
Soaring birthrates, he says, mean that Muslims, who today make up just 4 percent of the population, could one day become a majority.
Wirathu, who has come under heavy criticism in the international press, again lashed out again at Time magazine Sunday for a cover story earlier this month that plastered the words "Face of Buddhist Terrorism" under his photograph.
That too, he alleged, was the work of Muslim extremists.
"The first threat to me was through the Time magazine," he said, and the second was Sunday, in the form of a bomb.

What a doll! Barbie rocks into her 40s
Q. She's 40-something though ageless, still a teenager after all these years, first conceived in the U.S. yet sprung to life in Japan after World War II, today reborn at the rate of two a second, 60 million a year, her bodystuff from Saudi Arabia, nylon hair from Japan, cotton dresses from China, brought together in places like Indonesia and Malaysia, making her truly a "global citizen" found in 140 countries around the world. Who is she? M. Stephens
A. She's Barbie, the most profitable toy in history, reaping her creator California-based Mattel Corporation well over a billion dollars in annual revenues, though Barbie was never made in the U.S., say Anthony Giddens et al. in Introduction to Sociology. Only her cardboard packaging and some of her paints have been U.S.-made, exemplifying manufacturing in the "global commodity chain."
What a doll!
Q. At 1483 feet (452 meters) the twin Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, are the world's tallest, radio and TV antennas aside. How much weight is on the walls at the bottom? Could a mile-high (1.6 km) building be built? I. Hulk
A. Reinforced concrete weighs about 160 lb/cubic foot, so above each square foot of wall-bottom surface stands 1483 x 160 lb = 237,000 lb, says Paul Campbell of Wisconsin's Beloit College, in his essay "On Size and Shape" in For All Practical Purposes: Mathematical Literacy in Today's World.
And that's not counting the tower's contents! The crushing strength of reinforced concrete is about 8.5 million lb/cubic ft, leaving some margin for the mile- high tower. In fact, U.S. architect Frank Lloyd Wright once proposed such a tower– never built– for Chicago. Other limiting factors: taller buildings bending dramatically with winds; the perils of fires as revealed by 9/11 and the World Trade Center towers; and traffic difficulties posed by tens of thousands of people living, working, or visiting there. Also for a mile-high structure, much more space must go to elevators, plumbing, conduits for heat and air- conditioning, plus in an emergency, people must walk down!
The architects of the Petronas Twin Towers maintain that the main limit is human physiology, says Campbell. Differences in air pressure from top to bottom impose a limit on elevator speed, meaning long travel times for "vertical commutes." So "human psychology might also present some limits."
Q. If you fire a gun straight up in the air, won't the bullet return to earth at the same speed it left the barrel? E. White
A. It would if fired skyward on the moon, but on earth air resistance would cap falling speed at a "terminal velocity" far less than muzzle velocity (350 mph vs. 1600 mph for an AK47 assault rifle). Still, this can be lethal, and people celebrating on a crowded city street with guns for noisemakers have been known to kill, says Florida Tech space scientist Jim Gering.
Now imagine shooting a bullet so high into the sky that by the time it comes back down the launch point has rotated with the turning earth, so the bullet falls far away. This angle of rotation varies with latitude– small at the poles, big at the equator– termed the "Coriolis effect."
Critically, this effect must be compensated for when firing longrange artillery, a fact not well understood during World War I when the Germans trained "Big Bertha"– range 75 miles– on Paris. The Allies countered with their own artillery, but missed due to the Coriolis effect.
Similarly, in a naval fight near the Falkland Islands, the British shots while well aimed were mysteriously landing about 100 yards to the left of German ships, adds Jearl Walker in Flying Circus of Physics. The gun sights had been set for Britain's northern latitude and had not been adjusted to take into account that the Coriolis effect acts in the opposite sense in the southern hemisphere.
Q. A drink or two will relax you, but what if you just think you had a couple of drinks? Suppose the host is serving vodka tonics but forgot to put in the vodka? S. Foley
A. This was an actual experiment by addictive behaviors specialist Alan Marlatt. Says the doc: "Disinhibition" (relaxation of inhibitions) will occur even under this placebo condition, leading to a "think drink" high. Corollary: For guys who get a bit sexually uptight at times, a think drink or two prepared by a lady friend might be just what the doctor ordered (breaks the ice without the physiological sexual downside to actual booze).

BALTIMORE (AP) — White Sox rookie Dylan Axelrod took a three-hitter into the eighth inning and Chicago spoiled the Baltimore debut of Joe Saunders, scoring seven runs off the left-hander in an 8-1 victory over the Orioles on Wednesday night.
Gordon Beckham had three hits and three RBIs to help Chicago snap a five-game road losing streak. Alexei Ramirez went 3 for 4 with two RBIs and scored twice for the White Sox, who will seek a split of the four-game series on Thursday.
Omar Quintanilla drove in the lone run for the Orioles, whose four-game winning streak ended. Baltimore remained 3½ games behind the first-place New York Yankees in the AL East.
Axelrod (2-2) allowed one run, three hits and four walks in 7 1-3 innings to earn his third career win. Recalled from Triple-A Charlotte to replace injured Gavin Floyd, the right-hander retired 13 straight batters before a one-out walk in the eighth ended his night.
Obtained on Sunday in a trade that sent reliever Matt Lindstrom to Arizona, Saunders (0-1) gave up 10 hits and six earned runs in 5 1-3 innings. He yielded four runs in the first and never once retired the side in order.
Saunders, who grew up an Orioles fan in northern Virginia, fell to 3-1 lifetime at Camden Yards. Baltimore is his third stop in a major league career that began in 2005 with the Angels.
The Orioles' success of late and the prospect of seeing Saunders' debut barely caused a ripple at the turnstiles: The game drew a crowd of 13,098.
Saunders launched the Baltimore portion of his career with a wretched first inning. Dewayne Wise singled on Saunders' second pitch and Kevin Youkilis hit a fly ball to the warning track in center before Adam Dunn walked. After Paul Konerko got an infield hit, Alex Rios hit a two-run double and Ramirez singled in two runs.
Chicago added an unearned run in the fourth when Beckham hit an RBI double after Matt Wieters dropped a foul pop behind the plate.
Baltimore closed to 5-1 in the bottom half when Wieters doubled, took third on a fly ball and scored on a sacrifice fly by Quintanilla, his career-high 16th RBI of the season.
Saunders was pulled after the White Sox opened the sixth with two singles and a sacrifice. Beckham greeted Kevin Gregg with a two-run single.
An RBI single by Dayan Viciedo made it 8-1 in the seventh.
NOTES: Orioles manager Buck Showalter shot down the notion of prized pitching prospect Dylan Bundy joining the club when rosters expand on Sept. 1. Showalter said he wants the 19-year-old to focus on pitching for Double-A Bowie in the playoffs before participating in the instructional league. … Chicago's A.J. Pierzynski wasn't in the starting lineup, but manager Robin Ventura said the catcher would start in the series finale. Pierzynski is hitless in his last 14 at-bats and 5 for 31 over his last 10 games. … White Sox RHP Jake Peavy is still expected to start in Detroit on Friday despite being hindered by an eye infection. … Baltimore has been outscored 80-48 in the first inning this season. … Inserted as a defensive replacement in the seventh, Chicago 3B Ray Olmedo promptly made an outstanding stop on Mark Reynolds' grounder down the line, then threw him out.

I knew it was going to come. I knew it was going to happen. But now that it has happened, it's a reality check. —Sam Grange
OGDEN — A truck driver with 45,000 pounds of sugar was turned away from the Hostess plant on Lincoln Avenue Friday after the company's top officials indefinitely halted operations at the facility and others nationwide.
"I sat around for an hour and a half … and then got a call to take the sugar someplace else," said Rocky Ridge, a driver for Idaho-based Handy Truck Line.
Employees at the factory — which has turned out truckloads of donuts, breads, cupcakes and other baked goods for several decades — seemed to have been expecting the move by higher-ups to liquidate the company, he said.
"I'd imagine quite a few of them, probably 80 percent, don't know what they'll do now."
None of the roughly 600 workers at the Ogden facility had joined in the union-led protests, which eventually brought the battle between company executives and workers to a stalemate.
Randy Vigil, who has worked for Hostess for 15 years, said he hoped the company would have found a solution "for those who kept working."
"There's a lot of anxiety, wondering what you're going to do next," the Ogden father of four said. "There's a lot of three- or four-generation employees in there. I don't know what they'll do."
Vigil said he'll collect unemployment and "try to start over."
"That's it. It's the end," he said. "They're going to lock the doors at 5 today."
Hostess Bakery Outlet stores across the state were hit with customers Friday, many hoping to snatch up the last of what was expected to be available to consumers. The company's request for permission from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to close down and sell off all its brands signaled an end to nearly 124 years of production of Twinkies, Ding Dongs, Wonder Bread and more of Hostess' nostalgic brands.
Social media sites were also flooded with photos of emptied store shelves where Hostess products had been displayed.
The move will shut down 33 bakeries, 565 distribution centers and 570 outlet stores nationwide, as well as lay off 18,500 employees.
"It feels, in our community, that they got in an emotional tug-of-war and pulled the cord out of the wall and left all these people who have given so much of their lives to this company holding the bag," said Ogden Mayor Mike Caldwell. "It's a heartbreaking day for all these families that are affected."
He said the iconic bakery was part of the culture of Ogden.
"You could tell what they were baking by the smells that were wafting through the air on any given day," Caldwell said, adding that it will be missed.
While it is unknown what will happen to the company's property, building and equipment, Caldwell said the former employees shouldn't have to worry. He said Ogden's "robust economy" can absorb the local job losses. In the near future, the mayor expects the Division of Workforce Services to host a job fair specifically aimed at those whom Hostess has laid off.
"I knew it was going to come. I knew it was going to happen. But now that it has happened, it's a reality check," said Sam Grange, who has worked for Hostess for 25 years. "It still hurts a lot. A lot of my coworkers feel the same way. We feel it has been gross mismanagement of funds. They went through bankruptcy before and didn't learn."
Grange is unsure what will happen to his pension, which was the main focus of thousands of members of the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union who went on strike when Hostess officials said they could no longer pay the full benefit.
The company threatened to close its doors earlier this week if more workers did not return to production lines. Hostess CEO Greg Rayburn has said the company was already operating on thin margins and that the strike was a final blow.
Hostess' bankruptcy is expected to have a ripple effect in the economy of various gas stations, convenience stores, grocery stores and thrift shops across the country. Sales of the once popular confections were already low, due to what some believe was intense competition from other snack foods, as well as a desire among the American people to eat better.
Issac Cook stops by the outlet store occasionally to grab "a quick bit to eat" when she hasn't had time for breakfast or lunch at home.
"It's Hostess bakery, it's the place to go to get snacks or something in your system," she said. "I really don't want to see the bakery shut down. I feel bad for the people who lose their jobs."

Assorted Cheap Stuff Break - dlcarst - 08-07-2012 11:22 PM
I ordered some random cheap stuff from DA. I've wanted to complete my 2009 Topps 206 set for a year or so, and DA had rack pack boxes for cheap, so I bought one, a case of Cardinals World Series sets that I hadn't got yet (2 for me, 1 for each of my boys and some surplus) and added some other stuff. Rack pack box has 18 packs, also got 2 Lineage blasters, and 1 jumbo pack of 2010 Topps series 2 and 1 jumbo pack of 2010 Update. Also a free 2011 Upper Deck football blaster that turned out to possibly be the best of the break, with a Cam Newton SP RC, another Cam Newton, and some other decent RCs. But on to the baseball, first 206. Some good rookies to chase, Freese and McCutchen most notably. As a Cards fan I was not only chasing the rest of the base set (over half) but a Freese Cycle mini RC. The auto checklist is not bad, but no gold minis, cloth, or other fun stuff in retail. There's roughly a 66% chance of an auto or relic in these boxes. Minis:
Campanella is a variation, Matsuzaka is Old Mill back, Cabrera and Sonnanstine are Polar Bear back, Jered Weaver is Cycle #d/99. There's one Cycle per box, I definitely hit a good one! Best card of the box, especially if Weaver wins the Cy Young!
Bronze highlights:
Cardinals bronze, and a hit:
Pulled the wrong Cardinals bronze RC. I did get an auto, and there's lesser names than Volstad. As you can see I did decent on my Lineage jerseys as well, not too many better current players than those two guys. I was hoping for the Ozzie as I never bought one when I should have, but I'll take it. I'm slowly piecing together the inserts as well, and trying to pick up as many minis as I can. Here's what else I got of note from the blasters:
And got absolutely nothing of note in the 2010 Jumbos, but they were cheap and always fun to open. Anyway, thanks for looking, it was a fun cheap break and for the amount of cards I got, definitely worth my money, though I don't yet know how close I got on my 206 set. Hopefully I'm close and didn't pull any dupe SPs. I'll be posting another break hopefully later in the week when my 2012 Topps Mini box arrives.

seems like you had fun busting those packs. At least you got some new trade bait out of it.

"Amy Alexander writes with the precision of the seasoned journalist she is and the expansiveness of the wise cultural critic she has become. Her book is at once a trenchant look at the competitive world of the highest reaches of journalism and an on-the-ground narrative of the transformations in the ways we understand race, identity, and work. Her experience is unique, but her perspective is universal."─Henry Louis Gates Jr., author of Colored People
"Amy Alexander has done it! A gifted storyteller . . . she has written the essential memoir for journalists of color. . . . A powerful and irresistible narrative that introduces us to one of the most important African American journalists in the United States and helps us better understand the world of print and online journalism."—Ruben Navarrette Jr., author of A Darker Shade of Crimson
"In wrestling with two difficult subjects—the challenges faced historically by people of color in the American news media, and the recent usurpation of traditional journalism by the Internet—Alexander writes with a clearly felt sense of passion and urgency, and she thoughtfully discusses key events of the last few decades, such as the Rodney King incident and its aftermath and the questionable role of media stars during traumatic events such as Hurricane Katrina and the Haiti earthquake."—Kirkus Reviews
"A timely and compelling look at issues of race and lack of diversity that have dogged America's newsrooms for generations."—Tananarive Due, American Book Award winner
"Amy Alexander's analysis of the damage done to public awareness and understanding throughout the 20th century because of the failure of traditional journalism to adequately integrate staff could not come at a better time. It reminds consumers today that though they now have access to an integrated rainbow of sources of news online the responsibility now shifts to them to integrate the sources of news and opinion they aggregate."—Bill Kovach, author of The Elements of Journalism: What Newspeople Should Know and The Public Should Expect

On "Cashing Out" and the spread of Econo-Speak
2 comments:
I am a law professor with philosophical training. Just to show how reductionist we all can be, I thought the phrase "cashed out" came from philosophy. Philosphers use it all the time as a way of saying, this is how the argument "resolves" or "plays out." I realize these aren't good descriptions, as they just "cash in" one metaphor for another! (Sorry) The use of the phrase in philosophy could explain why Larry Solum and Steve Smith, both legal philosophers, use it.ReplyDelete
Nice blog, by the way.
John Linarelli
Thanks for the comment. Over, say, the past 10 years, my sense has been that law & econ scholars have been the leading edge in using this sort of rhetoric, and that "cashing out" is just one of the phrases that has seemed to creep from law & econ into the broader law discourse. Not necessarily a negative thing, but something I think that's worth thinking about. But perhaps I'm wrong about this particular phrase. Or -- depending on the time horizon -- perhaps the impact of economic arguments, and an economic sensibility, is influencing pockets of the academy at different time, and what you're seeing in philosophy might be a carry-over from econ. This is an intellectual history question. I know of, but have not yet seen, some relevant work, and I'll blog about when it's moving toward publication. I'd be interested in hearing from others.ReplyDelete

Blears sackee nothing to do with TheyWorkForYou
Civil servant reveals paper-less trail of doom
Posted in Policy, 7th July 2009 08:59 GMT
The civil servant sacked for being slightly rude about Hazel Blears did not post any comment on TheyWorkForYou: she only used the site to find Blears' personal website.
Lisa Greenwood used Google to find a contact for Hazel Blears. This took her to Hazel Blears' page on TheyWorkForYou, and from there she clicked through to Blears' official site. Once on that site, she clicked on a "contact me" button, which generated a mail from her work email account. She then wrote the message which got her sacked.
In a posting to the MySociety public list last night, Tom Steinberg reproduced an email from Greenwood:
"Dear Tom,
I googled Hazel Blears and found the website 'they work for you' and it said to contact Hazel Blears click on the following link http://www.theyworkforyou.com/mp/hazel_blears/salford I then clicked on her personal webpage that said 'contact me'. You will have to contact the DCFS for them to explain their interception.
Many thanks
Lisa Greenwood"
After this, Greenwood's boss presumably took over to pursue disciplinary action. The civil service code is strict on non-political use of work email or other facilities. And calling Hazel Blears "a disgrace" could be construed as a political statement. ®

The BBC has received more than 2,000 complaints about its coverage of the Diamond Jubilee.
It drew stinging criticism during the River Pageant broadcast with viewers attacking its "inane" commentary, camera angles and sound quality.
The corporation also came under fire for its coverage of yesterday's events, with one section where Fearne Cotton and Paloma Faith discussed a Jubilee-themed sickbag being singled out for criticism.
A BBC spokesman said it had received 2,425 complaints, while a former executive said it "tried too hard" to make its coverage of the River Pageant "informal" and "inclusive".
Former Radio 4 controller Mark Damazer told the Today programme the BBC was "worried and nervous" about appearing too formal.
He said: "I don't think this is going to be the BBC's Bafta Award winning entry next year but all that went wrong was a very conscious attempt, I think, to make the whole event informal and, to use the modern idiom, inclusive and warm and the BBC just probably tried too hard to do it."
The criticism does not seem to have had an adverse effect on viewing figures with an average audience of 10.3 million people watching the pageant broadcast.
The audience for the Diamond Jubilee Concert peaked at 17 million, making it the most watched programme of the year, and Tuesday's carriage procession was seen by a peak of 7.4 million.
