Let me start off by saying Brady Quinn apparently has much bigger issues than simply falling in last weekend's NFL Draft as evidenced by these pictures of the former Irish QB and some, uh, "friends" (from Deadspin via Kissing Suzy Kolber and WeAreSC).
To quote KSK, "Uh, what the fuck?!"
At least no ridiculous pictures of future 4-time Heisman winning ND QB Jimmy Clausen will ever zip around the Internet like the Quinn pix above.
Uh...never mind.

US Government's Failure To Protect Public Privacy Is Driving Business Overseas
from the all-for-what? dept
Many foreign companies are converging toward a common argument for why they're better than their American competitors. It's not that the foreign-made technology is better, more resilient, or more ubiquitous, nor that the foreign companies are more innovative or better managed. They compare not their businessmen but their politicians. They argue simply that American laws undermine any American product — that these laws fail to protect privacy of personal or business information of all users. This argument works partly because consumers claim to "avoid doing business" with companies they don't trust to protect their privacy.Basically, because law enforcement believes it needs to build a much bigger haystack as it searches for needles, we're handing other countries a key selling point in setting up services to compete with US services: "you can't trust any service based in the US, because it's subject to government surveillance." That may be a bit of an exaggeration, but I know I've see a number of companies lately who advertise the fact that they're not based in the US to suggest that they're more secure and can keep your data private. This is not the reputation the US needs or wants right now.

Well, I think it's safe to say that nobody is missing him. We hung several posters again last night. But I can't help thinking........if he was lost someone would be LOOKING for him! They would be posting on all these sites that I'm posting him on. I just don't get it!
Anyway, my co-worker might have a new puppy for Xmas! I think she is the perfect person to get him. She is familiar with small dogs (has had more then one for 10+ years) and is missing one of her Chihuahua's she had pts this summer. It's still not a done deal with her. She has to convince her husband. But it doesn't sound like that will be too difficult. :)

Lincoln Stein's Keynote: Building a Bioinformatics Nationby Bruce Stewart
A Land of City States
Lincoln Stein is one of the favorite personalities of both the Perl and Bioinformatics crowds, and his afternoon keynote at O'Reilly's Bioinformatics Technology Conference was predictably well attended and well received. Lincoln's talk was titled "Bioinformatics: Building a Nation from a Land of City States," and he started by comparing Italian city states of the middle ages to bioinformatics data providers.
The Italian city states were a disparate group with different legal and political systems, dialects, cultures, weights and measures, taxation, and currencies. Even though Italy had brilliant thinkers and scientists, its technological and industrial development lagged because of the difficulty in overcoming these differences. Lincoln argued that today's bioinformatics data providers are also suffering from too many differences, and these differences are hindering the advancement of science. "We see a lot of fragmentation in the landscape of data providers," he said, "and each of these data sites has its own view of the world."
Bioinformatics databases like NCBI, Ensembl, FlyBase, SGD, WormBase, and UCSC are all providing relevant data, but unfortunately they are using a wide range of different systems and formats. Lincoln riffed on the popular Perl slogan that claims the programming language makes easy things easy and hard things possible, by noting that the current situation in bioinformatics "was making easy things hard."
Developing Bioinformatics Computer Skills
As an example, Lincoln described the typical processes involved in what should be an easy task: getting all the human sequences submitted to GenBank/EMBL in a week. There are many different ways to do this, but the typical approach would include writing one script to fetch the data from the provider's Web site, another one to parse the file format, a third to move the data into a private database, and a fourth to repeat the process on a weekly basis. Because all researchers who want this data write similar--but not identical--programs, thousands of such scripts will be created--and none of them will work together. Besides the wasted effort, every time a data provider tweaks an interface or a format, thousands of programs break and need to be fixed.
Part of the solution to this problem, Lincoln argued, is to "see the open source light." He encouraged the audience to take advantage of open source libraries like BioPerl, BioJava, and BioPython; open source protocols like BioXML and DAS; and open source end-user applications like Genquire and PyMol. He also mentioned some of the groups promoting open source efforts in bioinformatics, such as the Open Bioinformatics Foundation, the GMOD project, and Bioinformatics.org.
Building a Nation
O'Reilly's Interview with Lincoln Stein
We recently spoke to Lincoln Stein about the state of bioinformatics.

For complete conference coverage, see O'Reilly's Bioinformatics Conference Coverage.
Do you agree that a formal Web services model would help unify bioinformatics data providers?
Lincoln then summarized efforts to unify the bioinformatics data services. These efforts started 12 years ago with the Meetings of the Molecular Biology Databases (MMBD), which essentially ended in argument. Every member thought his or her way of doing things was the best way. Next came the federated models like Gaea and Kleisli, and then the data warehouses of Ensembl, UCSC, and others. This brings us to the ad hoc Web services that are currently in place. These allow programmatic access to data, as in the GenBank/EMBL example. To truly unify the services of bioinformatics data providers we need to move beyond this to a more formal Web services model.
In this Web services model, the data providers would register their services in a formalized service registry, and researchers' scripts would no longer need to be concerned with the interface details of the different databases. This model represents the unification that Lincoln, and judging by the response, apparently everyone in the audience, hopes to see in bioinformatics. Lincoln argued that the necessary infrastructure to support this model is already almost entirely in place.
Since this formal Web services model has still not been realized, Lincoln offered a list of things data providers can do today to become good citizens in the bioinformatics nation. Dubbed the "Data Providers Code of Conduct," these ideas met with great audience approval, clearly striking a chord with many attendees.
First, he urged data providers to realize that their Web pages are really an interface for bioinformatics researchers. Not only do they need to work for human visitors, they must function successfully as an interface for the batch scripts that bioinformatics researchers will inevitably write. Second, he urged the providers to understand that this interface is essentially a contract with data consumers and it should be adequately documented. Changes to the interface shouldn't be made lightly, and when possible, legacy interfaces should be maintained.
Next in the code of conduct was the notion that choice is good and data providers should support as many different interfaces as possible, from HTML to SOAP-XML. Lincoln then urged providers to allow batch downloads and to make use of existing formats. If they absolutely have to create new data formats, they should use common sense in the design. Everyone knows how to deal with tab-delimited text, and XML is good for hierarchical data. Finally, Lincoln asked data providers to support ad hoc queries, noting that people will always end up using the data in unintended ways.
Lincoln wrapped up on an optimistic note, pointing out that Italy managed to pull it together and so can we. "I'm looking forward to the day when bioinformatics is no longer a set of hostile city states," concluded Lincoln, "but instead a world where we can all work together."
The PowerPoint slides from Lincoln's keynote are now available online.

An appeals court ruling has given the town of Ponce Inlet a win with millions of dollars at stake.
An appeals court ruling has given the town of Ponce Inlet a win in the legal ground-and-pound against a developer's desire to build a waterfront complex, but the fight is far from over with millions of dollars at stake.
The 5th District Court of Appeal in Daytona Beach overturned a decision by Circuit Judge William Parsons, who had ruled last year that Ponce Inlet violated the Bert J. Harris Act when it blocked Pacetta LLC from building the proposed waterfront complex with boat storage, residential housing and commercial space. Pacetta has previously said it would seek more than $50 million in damages.
But the 5th District Court of Appeal issued a ruling on Friday that Pacetta's rights were not violated under the Bert J. Harris Jr. Act, regardless of what Ponce Inlet officials may have initially said about changing land use rules to clear way for the waterfront project's construction.
"At the time Pacetta purchased its properties, Ponce Inlet's Comprehensive Land-Use Plan expressly prohibited the type of development which Pacetta proposed for its properties. Any assurances by town officials that the Comprehensive Plan would be amended so as to authorize Pacetta's development plans could not be relied upon in good faith by Pacetta, since town officials lacked the authority to unilaterally amend the Comprehensive Land-Use Plan," according to the appeal's court ruling.
Town Manager Jeaneen Clauss was pleased by the decision but noted that Pacetta LLC owners Lyder and Simone Johnson still can request a hearing by the Florida Supreme Court to reverse the appeals court ruling. The Florida League of Cities filed a friend of the court brief in support of Ponce Inlet's position.
"Our view is that this is also a victory for the public," Clauss said. ". . . overturning that lower court ruling really upheld that the public does have a right to be part of the process for land use changes. And the lower court ruling had disregarded that entirely and vested the right in officials outside a public process, if in fact that did occur."
The ruling is a setback but the case will continue, said Peter Heebner, an attorney representing Pacetta LLC.
"We are just trying to figure out what do they mean and what the breath of the opinion is," Heebner said. "Regardless, we are very disappointed. It's devastating to the property owner, obviously."
The Johnsons could not be reached for comment.
Heebner said the ruling that the city was not liable under the Bert J. Harris Jr. Act only involves one parcel of about 10 in the 16-acre property. The Bert J. Harris Jr. Act calls for compensation for landowners if they are "inordinately burdened" by a government.
The case will still go forward on the property's inverse condemnation or taking, which is when a government's actions prohibit any "viable economic use" of the land and thereby in effect take the land, Heebner said.
"The trial will go forward on the issue of the taking of the properties and there will be a trial by jury on the issue of compensation," Heebner said.
Parsons last year ruled to allow a jury trial to set damages against the town. But Parsons delayed setting a date until the appeals court ruling was made.
Friday's ruling is being viewed by Ponce Inlet officials as a victory that might strengthen the town's position going forward.
"It appears to have overturned the logic of the case," Clauss said Friday. "We've won as much as we possibly could at this point."
Mayor Gary Smith said that "no one knows the extent" of the impact Friday's ruling will have on the entire case, given its complexity. The town was allowed only to appeal the Bert J. Harris portion of the case.
"It's a very complicated case, and still is," he said. "Right now, we're happy we won the appeal."

Baghdad (AP) Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki is issuing his strongest warning yet to radical Shiite cleric Muqtada Al-Sadr .
Al-Maliki says Al-Sadr must disband his Mahdi army militia or face political isolation. The prime minister tells Cnn that Al-Sadr's followers won't be allowed to take part in elections or Iraq's political process if the militia isn't dissolved.
Sadrists say banning them from elections would be unconstitutional. A senior Sadrist lawmaker is calling for calm, but says Al-Maliki has no right to interfere with elections.
Meanwhile, the U.S. military has announced that two more soldiers died in roadside bombings yesterday -- one in eastern Baghdad, the other in Diyala province. They're among at least five Americans killed yesterday.

I suppose with this post I am sharing and inviting comments and discussion, rather than asking for help, as I think I am pretty much settled on what's going on, just feel the need to share a bit!
I am weaning my 26 month old son at the moment. It is definitely mother-led - I think he would go on quite a while longer if it was up to him! Reasons? Partly I just feel ready myself to stop nursing, and my instinct tells me that while he enjoys nursing still, his emotional need for it has decreased a lot (he hasn't asked to nurse when he is upset or hurt for some time, mostly when he is bored, wants a cuddle with Mommy, or tired). I base this on the fact that when I was trying to reduce the length and number of his day nursings, he didn't really protest that much or get particularly upset. The other reason is we are trying for another baby, and I don't want to tandem nurse, as my son was very high needs in the nursing and sleeping departments and if the second one is the same, I think I would find it overwhelming if a three-year old want to nurse day and night, too! I also don't want to have the end of our nursing relationship be because my supply dries up in pregnancy, or it's too painful, or the new baby factors in in some way that he can perceive.
SO, I have been weaning him very, very slowly over the past few months, and we are now at a stage where he isn't nursing at all in the day. He still asks sometimes, and when I say we can have milk at bedtime, he doesn't get upset, although he sometimes says things like 'Don't like bedtime', which means he doesn't like that he has to wait until then!
Yesterday, though, we were having lots of fun playing and he asked to nurse, I think just to connect and because he was enjoying our time together, but when I said we could nurse at bedtime, he seemed fine with it, and carried on playing, but suddenly I felt a pang of sadness and loss. I realized that I will really miss those joyful, cuddling nursings, and connecting in this way, and I am sure that he is already missing them, too, even if not to the point of it making him upset. We already do a lot of hugging and kissing and cuddling, but I also realized that there is nothing that will be quite the same as that nursing relationship.
We're down to 2-3 night nursings now (since Sunday he hasn't asked at bedtime and I have rocked him to sleep). I am going leave these for a while, while we get used to where we are now, and see if they gradually go on their own through the don't offer/don't refuse approach, if he is starting to not ask to nurse at bedtime.
So, I now will treasure the last nursings we have together knowing how special this time has been (especially the extended nursing in his second year), and making sure there are lots of hugs, cuddles and kisses to replace them!

Schwalbe's Tubeless Valves are lightweight and convenient.
|Tyre Bead:
Made from aluminium, each sleek valve has a conical base and is of universal application - they'll fit most, if not all, rims.
For over 70 years Schwalbe have dominated the two wheeled tyre industry in Germany and Europe, being voted best MTB tyre brand in Germany for the past two years. From the very early beginnings where the company founder, Earnest-Wilhelm Bohle capitalised on the developing cycle industry, to the ultra modern distribution facility near Cologne, Schwalbe have continued to design and manufacture some of the finest bicycle tyres available. Schwalbe's success is due in part to the effort it makes in product development from lab tests at the manufacturing facility to the hardest proving grounds of all, professional cycle racing. 'Team Gerolsteiner' achieved a very creditable 7th place overall in the 2004 Tour de France and the unique performance of team captain Davide Rebellin winning three major classic races back to back using Schwalbe tyre. Other notable succeses include Normann Stadler winning the infamous Ironman triathlon in Hawaii, riding Schwalbe Stelvio tyres.

'Survivor Philippines' Recap: New Tribes Rise Up From the Ashes
Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Gina Pusateri
Contributing Writer, BuddyTV
Add as BuddyTV Friend »
It's only a week and a half into the competition and because Matsing is the worst, Denise and Malcolm are the only ones left from the original members. They suspect they will be split up and joined with the other two tribes so they set out on a mission to find the hidden immunity idol before they leave camp for a reward challenge.
They look all around camp because that's where they saw Russell looking last week (don't worry, this will probably be the last time I'll mention Russell in these recaps: out of sight out of recaps) and they never saw a clue. The camera has plenty of fun at their expense, showing us how close they are to finding it without actually finding it.
Finally, thank goodness, Malcolm pries off the idol from the top of the rice container. They're both excited but that will be short lived if they are split up.
Reward Challenge
Yay it's reward challenge time! And no shock here, Jeff tells Malcolm and Denise to drop their buffs and draw a new one out of a sack. Malcolm goes to Tandang and Denise heads to Kalabaw.
The challenge is for the tribe members to square off one-on-one in a ring to try to knock the other's idol off of handheld platforms.
It's pretty evenly matched and the tribes are tied at three. Michael had a nice move where he threw his idol high in the air and knocked Jonathan's idol before his hit the ground. Then Dawson had a moment where she knocked off Abi's idol with a hair pull which prompted Abi to tell her to "fight like a man, not like a bitch." Abi should probably not be giving anyone any advice on how to not act like a bitch, no matter what the context.
In the end, Malcolm gets to be the hero for his new tribe and wins the cookies, muffins and coffee reward for Tandang.
At Tandang between the challenge win and his immunity idol Malcolm is feeling like he's got his swag back. Everyone in the tribe seems pretty much smitten with him and they're all trying to get him on their side. Pete, who still seems to think he's in control of things, actually tells Malcolm that he and Abi have an idol. That may not end up being the best idea, considering that if Pete still has it at the merge, Malcolm still has an allegiance at the other tribe and that knowledge will be pretty valuable.
On Kalabaw before Denise gets to feel out the dynamic of her new tribe, the one that luckily for her has a female alliance already going, Dana falls ill and the medical staff is called in. The medic examines Dana, who is suffering from extreme stomach pains and nausea and is running a fever. The medic tells her and Jeff Probst that her condition is not life threatening and they are willing to pump her full of fluids and give her another 12 hours before pulling her from the game. But Dana decides that the pain is too extreme and that she wants to remove herself from the competition.
In a moment of true chivalry, we see Jeff Probst remove his jacket and place it on the shaking Dana who is lying sick on the ground. He tells her that he'll bring the tribe over and help break the news of her departure so she can end her game on her own terms. No one understands the grueling nature of this game more than Jeff and while he's always such a keen observer of the game and its players, he's also compassionate and pretty much the best.
Immunity Challenge
Now that there are only two tribes competing for immunity, there is obviously going to be only one idol. The challenge is for the tribes to race through a series of obstacles, release puzzle pieces by chopping through a piece of wood, and then be the first tribe to finish the puzzle. Abi sits out for Tandang now that Kalabaw is minus a person and Jeff points out that Abi has played a mere TWO challenges since being out there. Wow Abi, way to contribute.
Tandang is off to a fast start mostly due to Katie slowing down Kalabaw for the first two legs of the obstacle course. Denise is kicking butt on Kalabaw though and Malcolm is a monster chopping through the wood to release the puzzle pieces for Tandang before the other tribe even finishes the course.
By the time Kalabaw gets to the puzzle pieces, Jonathan makes up a lot of ground and they are neck and neck trying to solve the word puzzle. Jeff is unkindly reminding everyone how Katie is the reason Kalabaw is scrambling to stay in the challenge and how Abi is basically a non-existent thing. It comes down to the last letter and Tandang barely gets the win over Kalabaw.
Loser Camp
Welcome to the first Loser Camp that isn't Matsing! It's nice for all of us (except Denise) to actually get to know a little more about a different tribe that doesn't have Russell on it (whoops, breaking my own rule already!).
Katie is embarrassed by her performance in the challenge, and I am embarrassed that I didn't even know there was a "Katie" on this show until just this moment.
Denise quickly aligns herself with the Jeff and the Manly Men alliance but he is very clear expressing to her that she has the fourth position in that group. Denise accepts it willingly, being a
savvy lady, she knows a lot of things can change by the time they get down to those four. The Manly Men agree that it's either Katie or Dawson who is going home.
Dawson makes herself more of a target by taunting Jeff about his baseball career because she is the only one on the tribe who knows who he really is. Jeff is worried that his spot under the radar might be threatened and is tempted to just get rid of Dawson because of it.
Tribal Council
They all talk about how sad they are that Dana has left the game and Jonathan even goes as far as to say that he thinks they would have won the challenge today if she was still there. Maybe that's true but probably not.
Katie makes a case for herself, taking responsibility for screwing up in the challenge but makes a promise to herself and her tribe to do better in the future. Dawson asserts that she is an asset to have around camp because of her positive attitude. Annnnd... the eye-rolls from her irritated tribe mates commence.
In the first non-Matsing tribal council, Kalabaw decides to vote off Dawson. Girl did not see it coming. And when she gets her torch snuffed she goes in for a hug and a kiss from Jeff: a woman after my own heart.

CONSHOHOCKEN — Different uniforms, same mentality.
"Just like it was all season, it was 'refuse to lose,'" said Norristown point guard Bernard Gordon.
The Del-Val VC team, comprised of the entire starting lineup of the Norristown Eagles, had a bench of only one player to start the game. Bernard Gordon, Josh Johnson, Luke Kelley, Jahad York and Jahbri Hargrove started on the court while DaQuan Holcomb waited on the sideline. Their opponents, the Running Rebels, were players from Allentown-area schools.
Del-Val VC and the Norristown crew defeated the Rebels 110-101 at the first round of the Donofrio Classic Thursday night.
The Rebels came out firing. Derek Tannous from Emmaus made four three-pointers in the first half, but it was their humungous center that was killing the Norristown boys on the defensive end. Matt Husek, the 6-foot-11 center from Bethlehem Catholic was a vacuum in the paint and made life very difficult for Johnson, York and Hargrove.
But, like a knight in shining armor arriving fashionably late to the joust, Marquis Bryant appeared and turned the game around for Del-Val.
"I got here and my teammates were like, 'you're the big guy,'" Bryant said. "I got here and we were down 10 and the big guy was killing us."
Del-Val VC had the benefit of Bryant's play almost immediately. Bodying up the middle, he got two quick fouls and established a presence inside. Kelley and Gordon, who were panting from the tremendous responsibilities they were carrying — forcing shots and busting back on defense — were able to get free and make plays.
"It was a huge relief to see Marquis," Gordon said. "Our big guys can't do it all by themselves, and Marquis is a big piece of our team. He picked up the slack for us on both points and rebounds."
"I just wanted to be aggressive," Bryant said. "I tried not to get in foul trouble on offense and to use my strength to work inside."
Del-Val VC, however, continued to play from behind. Down 51-56 in the final seconds of the first half, Gordon cashed a three with only seconds remaining. He had 18 points in the first half and 26 points in the game.
The pace of the game was much different than the typical high school game. While the Rebels had the benefit of four players on their bench, many of the Del-Val VC players played nearly the full 40 minutes. The 20-minute halves are designed specially for college teams with depth, so without much rest it was difficult for the hometown boys to play their run and gun style of play.
"We can't play the to the same tempo we played during the regular season," Johnson said. "In the second half we slowed down and played some defense."
"At the Donofrio tournament, people don't come here to see defense, they want to see a lot of offense," Gordon said. "But, I think they saw both from us tonight."
The fouls, too, were rarely called and the game was a downright shoving match.
"There was pushing, trash talking, but we're used to it," Bryant said.
"It was like playing a pick-up game when I go and play 5-on-5," Gordon said. "It's nothing different."
In the second half, Del-Val was down as many a eight with twelve minutes to go. But, the second change opportunities they earned on the glass started to pay off. Holcomb was swatted on a three-pointer, but grabbed the loose ball and put back two at the hoop. And once they started to get into the flow of their regular season play, the baskets started to come more easily. In-bounds plays and pick-and-rolls, called by a series of winks and head nods, gave Del-Val VC new life.
"We haven't played in two weeks," Gordon said. "But it was fun to reunite the team and play some basketball."
On a Kelley three with 2:35 remaining in the game, Del-Val took their final lead. Kelley, who had 24 points in the game, played like a man possessed — as he has been known to do. Johnson as well lit it up with the two-handed throw-downs and alley-oops and earned 26 points.
"We finally stopped thinking about Coatesville and played our game," Johnson said, referring to their loss in the second round of states against the Red Raiders.
"This is the first time I've won a game at the Donofrio," Gordon said. "It's really special for me and an honor to play with these guys I've played with for three years."

That process turns into an endless loop where the lower 50% pay barely and taxes because they don't make any damn money. You and I pay high tax rates on the money we earn, but the rich pay small rates on investments because that's what helps our economy grow. Ha, that's just BS.
The class gap just continues to grow that way. It's why Warren Buffet pays a lower tax rate than his secretary.
If you make more than him, you're not a hard worker. You're a lucky lying lazy fat cat easy street **** who must have stepped over HIM to get there.
I can tell you old pal, I and mine make more today that I ever thought I would. Not 250K type money, but not bad.
And yet here I sit, in rental, still, looking at the DC area wondering if I'll ever own a house.
I'll tell you my friend, it's not as "easy" as you seem to think. Not even close.
Last edited by Warfish; 11-07-2012 at 07:34 PM.
$250K per year is not a lot of money. Don't get me wrong, I will not turn it down but I do not consider that rich.
I am for taxing "rich people" more (IMO $500k - $1MM per year and up). I am not for demonizing them. Success and wealth (obtained morally and ethically) is a good thing, and it should be admired. Not every rich person is an Enron executive.
Equal opportunity, NOT equal outcome.
Maybe I should move to where you are, Nowheresville Upstate NY. Then I can be a bitter anrgy class envy guy too, hating everyone who makes more than me, and hoping they get ****ed.
No worries, I'll certainly rememeber this great answer to all economic problems PK. "Move". Brilliant in it's simplicity. If only all the poor lazy stupid ****s sucking at the taxpayer teat followed your wisdom, eh, we'd all be in better shape.
Also, my money is not the point, the tax structure is. Why should those who make more pay a higher %?
As far as investing, we all have the same advantages with certain tax free investments or deferred taxes, not just the wealthy.
I said Im not struggling, just struggling to figure out why I need to help those who are not willing to help themselves?
As I said earlier, I don't agree with removing the Bush tax cut from those making 250K. I would set the bottom at 500K. Also, where and how you live determine how much you keep. 250K gets you a lot farther in Manhattan, Kansas, than in Manhattan, NY. But most people would prefer to live in the latter. You have to ask yourself what you feel is worth to you. I could live like a fat cat in the Florida panhandle but I detest the rest of his state north of Miami-Dade county, so I made a decision to stay here.
If I were running for office, I would set the top tax rate at 30% and do across the board cuts in military spending, foreign aid and inefficient social programs.

I've had mixed success in dropping in to random Binny's during recent business trips to Chicago. Any chance some of the local Chicago folks might be willing to share the "hot" Binny's locations from the past week for the major deals - I'll be in the Chicagoland area again tomorrow. If not, I fully understand.
Thanks in advance for any help you might be willing to provide.
Plainfield is normally pretty good if your out that way
Willowbrook had some Carlisle, Tor and Turley which is kinda unusual
They had a bunch of bin ends last week but just about every location is picked thru now. Never know when something new gets closed out though and if they close out a wine, it is at all stores.
VM is right, things were picked over last week. However, the bin ends are not all necessarily chain-wide. There are quite a few that are store-specific, meaning it will be on bin end at one store, but full price at another. Although things were pretty consistent with this last round, so perhaps the store-specific bin ends were a 2012 experiment.
Wine is passion. It is family and friends, warmth of heart, and generosity of spirit.
~ Robert Mondavi
The stores are pretty spread out. Which area will you be in - that may help narrow down an answer.
My "local" is also Plainfield. The bin end sales seem very arbitrary throughout the year and I have not seen any differentiation between locations.
Thanks so much to those that responded. I'll be downtown to start and then working my way north and west with time to jump around to several stores. Just wanted to see if I could increase my odds a bit
The downtown stores certainly have the higher concentration of rare/high end stuff, so are a good place to start. However, they are usually the first to be picked through, so you may very welll find something worth purchasing, but probably not bin ends at this point.
I've had random luck at the Downers Grove store, but with less frequency as of late. For a while their store management team was less than stellar, and one would find bin ends there that had been cleared out at other stores a month or more earlier. But it's been a couple of years since I have seen that happen- January to March 2011 with the 2005 Pape Clement Blanc. Perhaps the employees set a few aside when the sale started and then decided a month or two later not to pull the trigger, I don't know.
As to the differentiation between stores- it was definitely in place last year, confirmed by my store manager. A perfect example is the NV Launois...on bin end in January 2012 at the Algonquin store and in June 2012 at the Bolinbrook store, but never has it been on bin end at St. Charles, believe me, I'd have known. The Luca Chardonnay too- a January bin end in Bolingbrook, but full price in St. Charles.
Good luck on your hunt Nixster. If you have time for an offline on one of your trips, be sure to post.
Wine is passion. It is family and friends, warmth of heart, and generosity of spirit.

Medications for Chronic Kidney Disease
by Diane W. Shannon, MD, MPH
Medications are used to prevent further damage to the kidneys and to prevent and treat the complications of chronic kidney disease.
As kidney damage progresses, your body may respond in a different way to some medications. For this reason, your doctor may change to a new medication or change the dose of a current medication. Also, over-the-counter (OTC) products may contain substances that can change your blood chemistry and be harmful to your kidneys. Check with your doctor before you take any OTC drugs or dietary supplements.
There are several types of medications that are used in kidney disease, including:
Blood Pressure Medications
Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a common cause of chronic kidney disease. See your doctor to find out if you have high blood pressure. If you do, take the blood pressure medications your doctor prescribes. Two types of blood pressure medication—ACE inhibitors and ARBs—are especially good for treating people with chronic kidney disease because they help prevent further kidney damage. Diuretics help lower blood pressure in people with chronic kidney disease.
ACE Inhibitors
ACE inhibitors are effective at reducing blood pressure. Cough is a common side effect of ACE inhibitors. Other possible side effects include rash, lightheadedness, and fatigue. There are many available ACE inhibitors:
Angiotensin-II Receptor Blockers (ARBs)
Angiotensin-II receptor blockers (ARBs) reduce blood pressure without causing a cough, which occurs fairly often with ACE inhibitors. Possible side effects include fatigue and lightheadedness. Available ARBs include:
Diuretics are often used in combination with another blood pressure medication. Loop diuretics are commonly used in people with chronic kidney disease. Possible side effects of loop diuretics include muscle cramps, lightheadedness, increased blood glucose, and headache. Available loop diuretics include:
Diabetes Medications
High blood glucose levels make chronic kidney disease worse. Simple tests can tell if you have diabetes. If you do, take the diabetes medications your doctor prescribes.
Glucose-lowering Pills
Glucose-lowering pills reduce blood glucose. Each of the five types works in a different way and has different side effects.
Sulfonylureas stimulate cells in the pancreas to release more insulin. They are usually taken once or twice a day. One important side effect of sulfonylureas is low blood glucose, which can cause confusion and even coma. These medications can sometimes interact with alcohol, so speak with your doctor about drinking alcohol. Four sulfonylureas are available:
Meglitinides also stimulate cells in the pancreas to release more insulin. They are taken three times a day before meals. Just like sulfonylureas, meglitinides can cause low blood glucose, which can cause confusion and even coma. There are two meglitinides:
Biguanides decrease the amount of blood glucose made by the liver and help muscle tissue better absorb insulin. Metformin (Glucophage) is the only available biguanide. Metformin, which is usually taken twice a day, can cause diarrhea.
Thiazolidinediones work by decreasing the amount of blood glucose made by the liver and by helping muscle and fat tissue better use insulin. They are usually taken once or twice a day. They are recommended only for people who cannot control their diabetes any other way. These medications can cause heart failure, weight gain, and may increase the risk of osteoporosis. If you take a thiazolidinedione, your doctor will order blood tests to make sure your liver stays healthy. Rosiglitazone can also increase the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Examples of thiazolidinediones include:
Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors
Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors prevent starches, such as bread and pasta, from being digested in the intestines. This slows the increase in blood glucose after a meal. These medications should be taken at the first bite of a meal. Side effects include gas and diarrhea. There are two available alpha-glucosidase inhibitors:
Insulin Injections
Your body needs insulin to use blood glucose properly. If you have diabetes, you may need to take insulin to keep your blood glucose in a normal range. There are five basic types of insulin:
Rapid-acting insulin — Rapid-acting insulin, such as insulin lispro or insulin aspart, start reducing blood glucose about five minutes after injection and are effective for two to four hours.
Regular or short-acting insulin — Regular or short-acting insulin usually starts working about 30 minutes after injection. It continues to work for about three to six hours.
Intermediate-acting insulin — This type of insulin generally reaches the bloodstream about two to four hours after injection. It is effective for about 12-18 hours.
Long-acting insulin —Long-acting insulin, or ultralente, reaches the bloodstream 6-10 hours after injection. It is usually effective for 20-24 hours.
Very long-acting insulin —Very long-acting insulin, such as glargine insulin, begins to lower blood glucose levels about one hour after injection. It works for 24 hours.
Insulin can lead to dangerously low blood glucose. If you are taking insulin, you need to carefully watch your diet and monitor your blood glucose at home.
Lipid Medications TOP
Chronic kidney disease causes high lipid (cholesterol and fats) levels in the blood. High lipid levels increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. One type of fat, triglyceride, is often elevated in people with chronic kidney disease. There are several different types of lipid medications, including:
Fibrates, or fibric acid derivatives, are effective at reducing triglyceride levels. Possible side effects include muscle damage, gallstones, and liver damage. Fibrate medications include:
Statins, or HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, are effective at reducing the level of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. Possible side effects include headache, muscle damage, and liver damage. Available statins include:
Cholesterol Absorption Inhibitors
Cholesterol absorption inhibitors reduce the amount of cholesterol and fats absorbed in the intestine. These medications lower both cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. Possible side effects include back pain, liver damage, and abdominal pain. The only available medication of this type is ezetimibe (Zetia).
Bone Medications TOP
Chronic kidney disease increases the phosphorus and parathyroid hormone in your blood, which can make your bones weak. Reducing the amount of phosphorus in your diet can help. Two types of medications can also help:
Phosphorus Binders
Taken with meals, phosphorus binders reduce the amount of phosphorus that enters your body. These medications can cause gastrointestinal discomfort. There are five types of phosphorus binders:
Vitamin D
In chronic kidney disease, high parathyroid levels cause the bones to become weak. Vitamin D lowers the level of parathyroid hormone in your body. Possible side effects include high calcium and phosphorus levels. Three vitamin D medications are available:
Anemia Medications TOP
The kidneys make a hormone called erythropoietin. It helps your body make red blood cells. In chronic kidney disease, the level of this hormone decreases, causing anemia—low red blood cells. Depending on your blood tests, your doctor may suggest:
Erythropoietin (Epogen, Procrit) is an injectable medication used to treat some kinds of anemia. It prompts the body to make more red blood cells.
Possible side effects of erythropoietin include:
Iron Supplements
Some patients with chronic kidney disease have low levels of iron in the blood. If you do, your doctor may recommend iron supplements.
Possible side effects of iron supplements include:
Medications to Lower Potassium Levels TOP
Patients with chronic renal disease are at risk of having a high blood potassium level, also known as hyperkalemia. If you do, your doctor will use sodium polystyrene sulfonate in most cases. If your level is very high, insulin in dextrose is given in your veins.

Inside Look: Internet Explorer 7, Beta 2by Wei-Meng Lee
Last year, I wrote a preview of IE 7 Beta 1 when Microsoft released Windows Vista Beta 1. Since then, six months have passed and the IE 7 team has released the second beta of IE 7. This IE 7 Beta 2 Preview is the first public beta designed for IT pros and developers, and it especially targets Windows XP SP2 users. IT pros and developers can use this beta preview to test their toolbars and ActiveX controls. But what about end users? In this article, I will update you on the features in IE 7 Beta 2 and what has changed since the last beta preview.
Before you head out to install IE 7 Beta 2, here is some useful information:
- When you install IE 7 Beta 2, it will upgrade your current IE 6. Side-by-side running of IE 6 and IE 7 is not supported. Hence you will not be able to run IE 6 after IE 7 is installed.
- You can uninstall IE 7 if you don't like it. This process will return IE 6 to its original state.
- If you have IE 7 Beta 1 installed, you need to uninstall it first before you install Beta 2. Check out this page for more information.
You can download the IE 7 Beta 2 Preview from the Internet Explorer 7 page. During installation, you will be prompted to validate your copy of Windows and install the latest updates for IE.
The first time you run IE 7, you need to set some options (see Figure 1). In particular, you are recommended to turn on the Automatic Phishing Filter so that the URL of sites you are visiting will be sent to Microsoft for checking. You can also opt to participate in the Customer Experience Improvement Program.
Figure 1. Setting the options the first time IE 7 is run--click for full-size image.

Centre of excellence for automation and robotics in the making
On 17 July 2008, the German Federal Minister of Economics and Technology, Mr Michael Glos, the Bavarian Prime Minister, Dr Günther Beckstein, and the Bavarian State Minister for Economic Affairs, Infrastructure, Transport and Technology, Mrs Emilia Müller, visited the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) in Oberpfaffenhofen. In a joint statement, they came out in favour of further expanding the DLR Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics (DLR-Institut für Robotik und Mechatronik) based on the accomplishments in Oberpfaffenhofen so far.
In the Federal Budget for 2009, the German Federal Cabinet has decided to boost the field of automation and robotics technology. The Free State of Bavaria has decided to support the robotics site in Oberpfaffenhofen through the new BayernFIT - Forschung, Innovation, Technologie (Research, Innovation, Technology) innovation programme. "We have taken a joint initiative to develop the existing Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics at DLR in Oberpfaffenhofen into a centre of excellence for automation and robotics", stated Bavarian Prime Minister Beckstein. "In the case of a showcase project like this, it is also the responsibility of the state government to ensure that it remains world-class", he added.
"Today, we were able to see with our own eyes how much potential the DLR institute has. Because its research is important for the international competitiveness of the German economy, we would also like to provide the necessary federal support for the development of the centre of excellence here at DLR in Oberpfaffenhofen", stated German Federal Minister of Economics Michael Glos.
According to the first plans developed by DLR for the further development of the DLR Institute for Robotics and Mechatronics, its current research capacity should be doubled to 300 staff members over the next six years. This should lead to the establishment in Oberpfaffenhofen of the most important and largest research centre in the world for applied automation and robotics.
Through cooperation agreements with industrial enterprises, colleges of higher education and non-university research institutions, the centre of excellence will be integrated into a national robotics network. International cooperation will ensure that the centre of excellence stays abreast of the latest global developments and that it can enter into strategic alliances.
"Automation and robotics technologies provide a clear competitive advantage for the whole German industrial sector. The planned development of the DLR centre of excellence for automation and robotics would create a lasting nucleus for robotics in Germany - for use on Earth as well as in space", stated Professor Dr Johann-Dietrich Wörner, Chairman of the DLR Executive Board.
New focus on robotics for the national space programme
German Federal Minister of Economics Michael Glos envisages a strategic further development of the German space robotics field through a substantial increase in the funds allocated to it in the national space programme. This new focus should foster the development and testing of technology for deployment of robotics and automation in Earth orbit as well as in complex exploration projects. For instance, the principal goal of the DEOS mission (Deutsche Orbitale Servicing Mission; German Orbital Service Mission), currently discussed in the context of the national space programme, is to demonstrate measures for the preservation or controlled decommissioning of near-Earth satellites using robot satellites. In this way, the know-how available in Germany about the detection, recognition, and approach of a target satellite, docking in Earth orbit, and controlled de-orbiting, can be brought together.

More than 170 students from high schools throughout Oregon will converge on Portland State University (PSU) Saturday, May 25, for the annual Oregon Invitational Mathematics Tournament (OIMT).
The tournament, now in its 33rd year, is a statewide competition for top high school math students. Students are invited based on their performances at regional competitions held at community colleges throughout the state. More than 50 Oregon high schools – as well as some home-schooled students – will be represented.
"These accomplished and very bright students represent the top 5 to 10 percent of young mathematical talent in the state of Oregon. They've all worked very hard to succeed to this level," said Steven Bleiler, chair of PSU's Fariborz Maseeh Department of Mathematics and Statistics.
Each student will compete in one of four categories: geometry, algebra II, pre-calculus, and calculus. On the morning of the competition they will undergo a three-hour personal testing period in Smith Memorial Student Union.
They also will be assigned to small groups to work on mathematics problems designed by PSU faculty. Starting at 12:30 p.m. teams will gather at PSU's Hoffman Hall to find solutions to their problems and make posters detailing their work. The posters will be displayed an evaluated by judges. Top poster teams will be acknowledged during an awards ceremony in Hoffman Hall at 3:30 p.m. Medals will be awarded to the top finalists in nearly a half-dozen categories.
Members of the news media are welcome to cover the afternoon activities at Hoffman Hall, starting at 12:30 p.m.
PSU, Oregon State and University of Oregon take turns hosting the OIMT. The last time it was at PSU was three years ago.

"The line between Social Media and SEO has been rapidly blurring for some time and today a SEO strategy without a social media plan is incomplete, while the social media user who neglects SEO is unlikely to have rapid success; or even success at all.
This is because successive Google algorithm updates have given more and more weight to "social" indicators of popularity for websites, and where Google leads other search engines are sure to follow in a bid to catch up.
Regardless of whether you're looking at the problem from an SEO perspective or a social media perspective it is important that you have both social media activity and SEO working hand in hand if you want to maximise your effectiveness and reach.
Here are three ways you need to make sure your social media and SEO efforts work together to increase effectiveness:
1) Use SEO Best Practice in Your Social Media
2) Getting Started With SEO and Social Media
3) The First Step to Keywords"

(CNN) -- When the National Security Agency sent a tweet Monday filled with garbled nonwords like "tpfccdlfdtte," the Internet was confused, and intrigued.
Was the NSA drunk? Had a cat skittered across someone's keyboard?
Or maybe the spy agency, under fire for eavesdropping on Americans, had accidentally blurted a secret of its own -- a coded, classified message not meant for public eyes.
The truth proved to be less scandalous. Internet sleuths, armed with cryptogram-solving Web tools, solved the mystery in minutes. Turns out the nonsensical tweet was a coded recruiting pitch by the NSA, which is seeking code breakers to help decipher encrypted messages from potential terrorists.
The tweet was a basic "substitution cipher," a code in which each letter of the alphabet is replaced by another.
Translated, it read (SPOILER ALERT for all you wannabe codebreakers): "Want to know what it takes to work at NSA? Check back each Monday in May as we explore careers essential to protecting our nation."
When contacted by CNN, NSA spokeswoman Marci Green Miller said the Twitter account is run by the NSA recruitment office, which will post coded tweets each Monday for the rest of the month.
"NSA is known as the code makers and code breakers," said Miller, who called the tweet "part of our recruitment efforts to attract the best and the brightest."
If the intelligence agency wanted attention, it worked. Monday's message has been retweeted more than 1,100 times, and most major media outlets have run articles about it.
In its efforts to attract top talent, the NSA has been known to recruit hackers and other computer wizards at cybersecurity conferences. The agency even set up a special page to woo attendees of DefCon, a shadowy hackers' conference held each July in Las Vegas.
A job with the NSA requires a security clearance, of course. But the agency seems eager to recruit smart people -- even, perhaps, those with minor arrest records.
"If you have a few, shall we say, indiscretions in your past, don't be alarmed. You shouldn't automatically assume you won't be hired," said the recruiting page. "If you're really interested, you owe it to yourself to give it a shot."
The NSA receives thousands of applications a month and is on target to meet its hiring goals for the current fiscal year, Miller said.
Matthew Aid, who wrote a book about the NSA , told CNN last year that NSA hackers focus on foreign militaries, governments and corporations, and are protected by multiple levels of secrecy.
Monday's tweet was not the first time the NSA has sent a coded message on Twitter. The agency has posted three already this year to celebrate holidays, such as St. Patrick's Day.
But it might signal a renewed effort by the embattled agency to attract new blood in the wake of revelations last year by leaker Edward Snowden. Documents leaked by Snowden showed the NSA ran a secret surveillance program to intercept Americans' phone calls and Internet messages.

I am generally a pretty mild mannered person. I don't much like confrontation so I do my best to avoid it. However sometimes, out of the blue, you get the hairs on the back on your neck to stand up and that weird feeling rising from the pit of your stomach. Your ire is raised.
This in particular happens when one of my kids gets hurt or disappointed. As a parent and particularly, a mom I don't think that there is anything worse than seeing disappointment or pain register on one of your kids' faces. There is some primordial response that rises from the depth of a mother's very being when that happens. The desire to protect, to fix it, to make it all right and to see that those that caused the hurt or disappointment are punished. It's strange, because you cannot understand why you are feeling this incredible fierceness, this overwhelming protectiveness. It can turn a mild mannered person into a bit of a crazy woman. Sometimes you know the person or persons who did it and sometimes you don't — it's a total stranger. In either event, I think other mothers would agree with me when I say that whoever they are, you can feel like you want to hurt them because they hurt your baby — even if your baby is a teenager and whatever happened was obviously a misunderstanding. Rational thought freezes somewhere in your brain when the mama lioness in you lifts her head to protect her cubs. It's odd that it happens automatically, without any warning or control.
Amazing how humans really don't vary much from animals in some contexts. The desire to protect, to shield and to fix it are there in all of us — human or beast.

It's Masha - one of PT's own! Hello, beautiful kitty lady! We met your sister Misha last week and now it is your turn! How sad that you changed homes three times as a kitten. But your purr-ents have a gift for finding kitties who need loving care and a safe forever home. So, home you came with your mommy! When Misha saw you, she knew that you needed to stay! You are so fluffy and pretty! I would love to help you enjoy the endless cuddles you prefer :love: Perhaps your daddy will give you an extra snuggle for me today? How wonderful that you bring joy and company to your people, Misha, and Astor! Happy Cat of the Day to you, beautiful Mashi kitty!Quote:
Let me tell you a story about our Mashi. In the first three months of her life Masha changed homes three times and no one wanted to keep her. The problem was that she did not want to be outside but no one has wanted to have her in the house. They put her out and left her to fend for herself. The third home was at my neighbors who called me, and said if it gets into trouble, keep an eye for her, because they would take it back to the first home.
When I saw a little helpless scoop of kitten and her sad eyes, I took it to our home. When my cat Misha saw her, she immediately adopted her, grabbed her by the neck and carried her around the apartment. The love between them is immense, even today when Masha is one year old. Thus, Masha stayed with us, for company for my cats Misha and Astor.
She is the most peaceful and grateful kitty I've ever seen. She prefers to be lying on my husband's stomach and have an endless cuddle. She is very large cat and, therefore, slightly clumsy and keeps us constantly laughing. In our home has brought a lot of joy and she is the most pleasant company for Misha and Astor, as well us her humans.

Studenica Monastery
Found9e in 1186 the Monastery of Studenica, dedicated to the Presentation of the Holy Virgin, is the mother-church of all Serbian temples. The first stage works were completed by the spring of 1196, when its founder Stefan Nemanja (St. Simeon Nemanja) abandoned his throne, becoming a monk. Nemanja's third son St. Sava molds Studenica into the political, cultural and spiritual center of medieval Serbia founding within its walls crucial institutions like the first organized hospital and school[1]. Studenica was continualy expanded by the members of the Nemanjic dynasty. King Radoslav, grandson of the founder added to the church an exonarthex in 1235. King Milutin built a small dedicated to Saints Joachim and Anna in 1314.
There were other church buildings built over time within the monastery complex, but they were either completely lost or remain only as a foundation trace. Church of St. Nicholas, a small single-nave church predating the monastery complex remains there as well.
During Turkish occupation monastery have suffered desecration of conversion to storage building and even the stable. It have also been damaged by fire and earthquake. Smaller restoration efforts happened throughout its history. Major restoration effort occurred in modern times, between 1963-1989.
Monastery of Studenica celebrated its 800th anniversary in 1986.
The Virgin's Church is a domed single-nave basilica. At its eastern end there is a three-sided apse, while a narthex faces west. There are also vestibules on the north and the south. In the 1235, a large exonarthex was added, though in much poorer workmanship and stone quality. The main facades were built with slabs of locally queried white marble. Externally, the Church harmoniously reconciles two architectural styles, the Romanesque and the Byzantine. The blending of these two styles eventually produced a particular style of architecture known as the Raska School.
Fresco Painting
For the first time i the Orthodox iconography all the inscriptions were done in Serbian language, instead of the traditional Greek satisfying both political needs of the Serbian Royal family and practical needs of the population.

This is similar to some other equations which have been solved here, but the "2x" is throwing me, I'm not sure what to do with it.
The equation is 4^x-1 = 3^2x, solve for x. I have the answer, but have not been able to reproduce the steps to get to it.
log4/(log4)-(2log3), then it is completed on a calculator.

As a teacher, I no longer feel like I need to control everything my second-grade students do. I can now allow them to work independently in groups. I provide opportunities for students to work collaboratively, and I let them talk while they write. Students are now interested to be in my classroom, and behavior problems have diminished.

The SB team defeated ASU earlier today and completed the sweep of the state by clipping #14 'Zona 9-1 for the mercy-rule win this afternoon at the Judi Garman Classic.
We scored 4 runs in the bottom of the 4th to take the lead 4-1. Amy Knapp continues her torrid pace. She went 2 for 3 with a triple and an RBI. If she keeps this up, she will be an All-American for sure. Freshman Sierra Romero went yard again going 1 for 3 with 2 RBIs and the run scored. Lyndsay Doyle went 1 for 3 and scored 2 runs along with a triple and an RBI. Caitlin Blanchard went 1 for 3 with an RBI and hit a run scoring double.
In the 5th Inning, we loaded the bases and Sara came through for a 2-run single. Then Amy comes up and hit a run-scoring double. Amy now leads the team in batting with a .397 batting average (>50 ABs).
In the top of the 6th inning, the defense turned a rare natural double play, 5-4-3. It is rare because the base path is only 60 feet compared to 90 feet in baseball. The runners can usually get down the line in time to beat the relay throw.
In the bottom of the 6th inning, we scored 2 runs for the mercy-rule win. We loaded the bases and Sierra Romero walked for an RBI. Then Jacklyn Crummy scored on a wild pitch for the win.
Sara was the starting and winning pitcher. She pitched 6 complete innings and faced 22 batters. She gave up 1 run (0 ER) off 4 hits. She had 3 Ks and 1 BB. Another great performance by Sara.
What a great day for Michigan as we all needed a pick-me-up after the earlier disaster in Chicago. Hopefully the hockey team takes care of business tonight as well.

The popular Atlantic Coast Showcases are on the move.
After being held in North Carolina for the first five years, the 2010 Atlantic Coast Top and Underclass Showcases will be held at beautiful Harbor Park Stadium in downtown Norfolk, Va., along the Elizabeth River. Harbor Park Stadium is the home of the Norfolk Tides, the Triple-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles.
The Atlantic Coast Showcases this year will be held on Aug. 6-8, and you may request an invitation now. Simply return to the www.PerfectGame.org home page, click on showcases in the upper left-hand corner, click on the appropriate showcase and click on "Request an Invite." It's that easy.
The Atlantic Coast Top Showcase is intended for high school players who will graduate from school in 2011. The Atlantic Coast Underclass Showcase is aimed for 2012 and 2013 high school grads.
The Atlantic Coast Showcases were added to the Perfect Game circuit in 2005 to reflect the strong interest from players in the talent-rich area. More than 400 players have attended the Top Showcase the past five years, and the event has proven attractive to players from a wide geographic area. Players from 24 different states and Canada have attended over the years with North Carolina, Florida, Michigan, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Colorado, Tennessee, Alabama, New York, South Carolina, Connecticut, Indiana, Maryland, West Virginia, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Texas, Ohio, Wyoming and Maine all represented.
The Atlantic Coast Showcases also are popular with the scouting community. Graduates from these showcases have continued their baseball careers at more than 100 colleges throughout the country, including premier schools in the ACC, Big East, SEC, Big 10 and Big 12.
Dozens of future draft picks also have come through the gates at these showcases. Michael Belfiore attended the very first Atlantic Coast Showcase in 2005, enjoyed a productive career at Boston College and was taken by the Arizona Diamondbacks with the 45th pick in the 2009 draft. He received a signing bonus of $725,000.
