Gordon Brown yesterday pledged to promote science education and hi-tech industry, promising help for university spin-off companies.
Gordon Brown yesterday pledged to promote science education and hi-tech industry, promising help for university spin-off companies.
As part of the Government's new 10-year science framework, the Chancellor announced plans to re-examine the research and development (R&D) tax credit for mid-sized science firms. The tax credit has already provided over £600m in support of small and medium-sized enterprises since its inception.
To help raise the level of business R&D, the Government will establish an industry-led science forum, which Sir Tom McKillop, AstraZeneca's chief executive, will chair. The forum will update the Chancellor and the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry twice a year on science and society issues.
The move builds on the Government's attempt during the past 12 months to encourage input from major R&D employers, led by Sir Tom, into forming its science framework.
Industry lobby groups welcomed the creation of the forum, which follows a spate of closures of university science departments. The furore over chemistry closures led the Nobel Laureate Professor Sir Harry Kroto to return his honorary degree to Exeter University in protest. Philip Wright, director of science and technology at the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry, said the closures gave "urgency to the establishment of this forum".
Tax barriers deterring researchers from creating university spin-offs will go, the Chancellor pledged, following his blunder in introducing them in a previous budget. University spin-offs have almost ground to a halt since academics discovered they were facing huge tax bills as soon as they launched a company to exploit patents or research ideas.
"It should now be possible to achieve tax-efficient spinouts of IP-rich businesses from UK universities," Brian Mulholland, at Ernst & Young's entrepreneurial services practice, said.
Mr Brown also announced the Government's intention to pilot a matched scheme to help universities build up its resources through endowments. He said he wanted to build on its £2.5bn investment in science.
Ian Diamond, of the Economic and Social Research Council, said: "Research councils will deploy the majority of the new funds we receive to increase our contributions to the full economic cost of research."
Regional development agencies will promote "science cities" in the North as part of their £100m science technology investment programme. The first will be Manchester, followed by Newcastle and York.

From the December 1948 magazine.
Your Wife May Be Sick, Too
I'M undoubtedly prejudiced, but I feel that more should be said about the wife's side of this story. It is true that coming into A.A. and adjusting to a new way of living is difficult for the man but it is a difficult adjustment for the wife, too.
It seldom occurs to a new man that his wife is just as sick mentally, physically and emotionally as he is. His disease has a definite name and treatment--he is an alcoholic and the A.A. Program is his recovery program. The wife's maladjustment is a little more difficult to name and treat. But she is as confused and bewildered as he. She is...

But Ronan will only let Elizabeth leave the confines of Shiftertown if he becomes her 24/7 bodyguard. Elizabeth chafes at her restriction, but agrees. The trouble is, the sassy human Elizabeth is triggering Ronan's long-buried need to find himself a mate.
I waffle between enjoying shifter romances and needing as many as I can read at once to becoming rather tired of them with their "mate" this and "mate" that talk. I read this as part of a large omnibus of stories, though Ashley has yet to really let me down in the romance department.
Elizabeth is a tough, solid sort of woman who is just trying to carve out an existence for her and her younger sister. Its not her fault that after standing up to a robber it turns out the kid is the younger brother of the local gang leader. Or that Ronan gets involved and now all of Shiftertown feels compelled to help protect her because she stood up for him.
Shifters in this world came out only a few decades ago and the world, as you can expect, reacted with fear. Now Shifters are restricted to their own little zones, aren't allowed to attack a human (even in defense!) and in general are treated little better then dirt. Its a time honored tradition of the one group looking down on another group and treating them horribly. Shifters don't, as a rule, share the same rights as humans. They're forced into housing with others of their clan type, get to deal with law enforcement that at best may let them state their side of a story and have to wear collars to zap them if they start to feel dangerous.
As I understand this is a novella set between books 2 and 3 of the series, but Ashley does a good job getting all the necessary info out there for new readers to not feel lost without sacrificing the story's pacing.
While the story goes through familiar beats - Ronan feels protective, everyone teases him about it, Elizabeth is both interested, but worried about what his growing attentions mean - I found Ashley's somewhat more sympathetic portrayal of the gang leader to be the most interesting. The guy's a drug dealer, kills people without remorse and is violent. He's not a good guy. However the parallels to him trying to protect his younger brother from his antics to Elizabeth protecting her younger sister drove a lot of my interest. And he did have a certain code. I think my favorite part though was the end and this is a spoiler so read at your own risk:
[spoiler start]His brother had called in the guy who had been hunting Elizabeth for so many years. Eventually things lead to the guy threatening Elizabeth and Ronan wanting to tear his head off for it. However before he can the gang leader shoots the guy in the head. Ronan angrily snaps at him for taking his "right", but the gang leader just says "You're not the cold blooded killer, I am" and walks away.[/end spoiler]
I kind of felt for him. Family is family after all. But sometimes there's only so much you can do for them. The divergent paths he and Elizabeth took to protect the only family left to them both all was for the same purpose.
As for the actual romance - it was cute and warm. Elizabeth is skittish, but eventually comes around while Ronan is pretty steadfast in his determination. His main problem is figuring out how to get her to understand more then anything else.

The source: The artificial heart
The Heart is the most important organ of the circulatory system and muscle a human being fundamental to life. Perhaps because of the perfection with which the human body evolved, occupies the center of the chest, right between the lungs and behind the sternum, the bone that protects like a sentinel of all accidents.
This vital organ has a continuous operation and in case of stop, is only a matter of seconds for which the owner runs out of life. But the complex and precise machinery of this body as powerful and transcendent, has been a major source of inspiration for scientists and physicians for nearly 80 years have felt attracted to emulate it artificially.
Although the heart is conceptually a simple organ, and it is considered a muscle that functions like a pump, pushing blood through the body, has become a matter of great challenges in Medicine of the last century , who encouraged by this seemingly simple structure, have conducted hundreds of tests to achieve mechanically reproduced. But, like many other parts of nature almost perfect, simple to sight is not so much in practice.
The heart has three great complexities to achieve emulate: the coagulation process, the rejection by the recipient's body and energy to feed its mechanics. Now that we know roughly our hearts, let us briefly what it is an artificial one.
What is an artificial heart?
It's a prosthesis implanted in the body, performs the same functions as a biological heart. These prostheses can be used for temporary replacements, in cases of patients on the waiting list for a donor, or in situations in which the biological heart must stop for any type of surgery. There are two types of artificial hearts, the TAH (Total Artificial Heart) and VAD (Heart Assist Device), which are divided into LVAD (LVAD) and RVAD (right ventricular assist).
A TAH is a complete replacement of the biological heart and requires the same procedure used for a heart transplant for a donor.
The VAD is a device placed near the heart to support and assist the body for some reason, you need to complement such work or recover from any situation.
That said, we proceed to do some traveling through the history of doctors and scientists, largely rejected by the companies of their time, progress in the development of an artificial heart that could finally fulfill the cherished goal of extending the people's lives.
The pioneers in designing the first prototype
The first records of tests TAHS dating from 1937, when the Russian physician Vladimir Petrovic Demikhov tested with dogs, the placement of an implant based on a roller pump that had an engine that ran through the sternum. This event became the greatest medical achievement in the history of Russian science, since it was ahead in nearly 20 years to the first relatively successful TAH prosthesis and 30 years of historical South African heart transplant Christiaan Neethling Barnard .
Since as in Russia between the wars, nothing was subject to suspicion or mysticism. This is how Demikhov met by the pseudonym "Doctor of Horror", as well as their testing in dogs with TAH, he held other records as somewhat creepy about thirty transplants heads and limbs in animals (usually dogs) and his famous two-headed dogs .
Until 1953 there were no known other evidence related to these implants, the year John Heysham Gibbon the doctor performed the first open heart surgery or CPB (Cardiopulmonary Bypass), installing a heart-lung machine known as "the bomb" (see image).
Although for historians, this milestone is not usually regarded as the first artificial heart transplant, scientific interest was aroused enough for thousands of inverstigadores worldwide began to test solutions for diseases of the heart between the that was highlighted in 1957 the Research Program at the Cleveland Clinic TAH, led by Willem Kolff and Akutsu Tet.
Within this group of enthusiastic doctors said the Argentine Domingo Liotta, an Entre Rios began to experiment on TAH transplant in Lyon, France in 1958, continued during 1959 and 1960 at the National University of Cordoba (Argentina) and ended with presenting his work at the American Society for Artificial Internal Organs, held in March 1961 in Atlantic City. This work demonstrated the ability to successfully transplant TAH implants with different types of mechanisms of external energy.
Based on this research, Liotta created in 1962 the first LVAD at Baylor University College of Medicine in Houston and implements the July 19, 1963 in a patient who suffered cardiac arrest after surgery, died four days later for not have recovered from heart failure.
Three years later with Michael DeBakey, Liotta implanted the first LVAD clinical extracorporeal position a patient who survived a few days. The LVAD model known at that time as Liotta-DeBakey, was placed months later in another patient after 10 days of mechanical support was discharged. It was a matter of time before the first implant was achieved overall.
In early 1969, Domingo Liotta with Denton Cooley replace a patient's heart to keep him alive until the arrival of the donor. He lived more than 64 hours with mechanical heart powered by pneumatic means (later replaced by a biological and died of an infection) and perhaps, some speculate that, habérselo left, could have been the foundational moment of the race for an artificial organ completely.
The original prototype of Liotta-Cooley artificial heart used in this historic operation was found, together with the incandescent lamp by Thomas Edison, among the 150 most valuable objects invented by mankind, belonging to the Smithsonian Treasures of American History in Washington DC .
Unfortunately, who should be recognized in Argentina to his 88 years as a founding father of modern medicine, its image deteriorated during his tenure as president of the National Council of Scientific and Technical Research (CONICET), which is remembered by the scientific community as most destructive and instigator of the breakup of science in Argentina during the decade of '90, and caused the second largest scientific brain drain the country along with the persecution of the dictatorship of Juan Ongania in the '60s .
Jarvik-7: The result of collaborative work
As Domingo Liotta developed new and successful transplants, the artificial heart began to draw the attention of both the scientific community and the business it entered into the tangled world of patents war Or is believed that this invention would be the exception? The first patent for an artificial heart was recorded by American Paul Winchell in 1963, who gave it to the University of Utah, where the scientist Robert Jarvik developed the first prototype of the Jarvik-7 model that had great innovations as a material internal coating favoring the adhesion of blood and its internal walls coated with living tissue, allowing design establish a more natural flow of blood.
Robert Jarvik and had much experience in the development of dialysis machines and artificial organs, so when Pat Winchell came to their hands, many loose ends were tied on his head to design the Jarvik-7, a collaboration of dozens research that preceded it, as mentioned Winchell, Henry Heimlich and Dutchman Willem Kolff.
Jarvik became a bit of a celebrity, thanks to its progress and a strong spread of the device by the press. Unfortunately so far not managed to drive the Jarvik-7 other than through external pneumatic tubes, which added to the internal implant energy mechanism the size of a shopping cart.
In 1982, the successful transplantation of Dr. William DeVries to a patient who survived 620 days with a Jarvik-7 allowed all the front pages of the media take care of the issue, considering it a milestone in modern medicine.
These events prompted Robert Jarvik to launch his own company, Symbion Inc., which fell through because of his poor business skills.
During the '80s, more than 90 people received the Jarvik-7, which after a few years was prohibited, and any other type of artificial implant to replace the heart due to almost no hope of survival (no more six months) that could in patients. Currently, only allowed temporary replacements artificial hearts to patients waiting for a biological donor.
The future: Bioartificial Organs and centrifugal turbines
Despite the ban on the use of artificial hearts, the Japanese doctor who specializes in artificial organs Hiroaki Harasaki, developed two important improvements that address major obstacles: a surface coating material that does not induce clotting, which significantly reduces the risk of the patient's immune system from rejecting the organ, and an implantable power supply with a reduced heat generation so that does not damage the tissues.
Along with these advances have been known in recent years developments as a French model fully functional set up in 2008, but at a cost prohibito nearly $ 200 billion, the creation last year in Madrid the first laboratory in the world with the capacity to create organs bioartificial from adult stem cells, and even an artificial heart using centrifugal turbines to pump blood, resulting in quiet operation and replaces the beats a little buzz.
A little less than 10 months was conducted in Spain the installation of the first permanent electric pump in a damaged heart , allowing the patient to continue with their normal lives without having to be hospitalized or dragging great teams.
The future of medicine and heart transplants are at a moment of controversy related to the complexity of this "apparent" simple pumping of blood in our bodies that can not be replaced with any appliance that emulates operation and with the current regulations prohibiting the moment its replacement by unreliable equipment. Perhaps, electronics and nanotechnology could eventually contribute some of their progress to achieve the great leap scientist.Tags: artificial heart, Heart, Medicine, origin, Science

Cold weather can cause your fingers to shrink. In the winter you may notice that your rings are loose and can easily slide off. The last thing you want to do is lose your rings. Getting them resized by a jeweller changes the size of the ring permanently, which means your ring can cut off circulation when your fingers expand during the summer months. One alternative is to apply liquid ring guard to your fingers to secure your rings in place. It temporarily makes your rings fit tighter. This solution will not damage the rings and peels off both your jewellery and skin when no longer needed.

The PGA of America officially named Jim Furyk the captain of the United States Ryder Cup team that will take on Europe on September 28-30, 2018, at Le Golf National in Guyancourt, France.
Arnold Palmer was the last playing captain in 1963 on the US Ryder Cup team.
Furyk has featured in nine Ryder Cups for the United States as a player, but has only two wins under his belt during a period of European dominance.
The 46-year-old's vice-captain will be Davis Love, a losing captain in 2012 but victorious in 2016 when the U.S. beat Europe 17-11 to regain the trophy.
Furyk was a member of the task force set up in the wake of the US's third defeat in a row and sixth in seven events at Gleneagles. The man with the amusing swing, who has won 17 PGA Tour titles including the 2003 U.S. Open, still has plenty of game at 46.
"He's going to be a very tough act to follow", Furyk said from PGA of America headquarters in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
Furyk is now world No 37 and a regular competitor on the PGA Tour, but Beem doesn't believe it's possible to split playing and captaincy commitments. A 17-time victor on the PGA Tour, Furyk also played in seven Presidents Cups, an event at which he served as a Captain's Assistant in 2015.More news: Oil markets torn between Saudi led supply cuts, rising output elsewhere
Furyk, the 2003 US Open champion, offers continuity and boasts plenty of Ryder Cup experience. It's exciting, and it's a new day and age for the U.S. Ryder Cup team.
'If I had a shot to finish in the top eight in points we can bridge that gap next year.
Denmark's Thomas Bjorn will be the opposing European captain, already named to the role in December 2016.
The USA head to France looking for their first away win since they last defended the trophy in 1993, where Tom Watson's side won 15-13 at the Belfry. I get chills thinking about the events that I have been able to participate in.
"When you look at my record", Furyk said Wednesday, "I've learned a lot". It's no secret; this has been my favorite event throughout my entire career. I'm actually a little overwhelmed; I didn't think it would be that way.
"I wanted to be relevant on the PGA Tour", Furyk said about the timing of being named captain.
"I'm excited for him to want to be back playing, to have that hunger to be playing, I know he's working hard".

Under the terms of the standing agreement between RH and Catterton, Thursday, Dec. 13 was the last day that RH was to solicit competing proposals for a third-party transaction.
The Sears proposal, delivered in draft form to RH, gives Sears time to further evaluate the company's finances and some maneuvering room as to how it may ultimately effect an acquisition.

LeBron James Finally Beloved by National Sports Media Once Again
Riptide has had ESPN on and off of mute all morning. The TV listings say it's just regular ol' SportsCenter, but as far as we can tell "The LeBron James Blow Job Marathon" would be just as apt a title. In fact, the TV talking heads, newspaper writers and bloggers have finally completed a total about face: they all love LeBron James once again. It's a new narrative that has been slowly emerging through out these playoffs, but it appears the rest of America has decided its finally OK to love LeBron James once again.
ESPN's hipster little web brother, Grantland, explained yesterday"Why You Should Root for LeBron."
This morning, in the site's staff-wide Game 5 recap, write Shane Ryan struggled with this new narrative before accepting it. "It's not a debate that can be won or lost,"he wrote
. "I leave open the possibility that I'm mistaken -- that I wrongly associate winning with more intrinsic qualities -- yet I reserve my right to believe. I think I saw it in LeBron, that coming of age that someone like me is bound to crave."
The narrative even snuck into straight-forward game recaps.
"At that moment, James was no longer the antihero of 'The Decision,' or the faltering star who crumbled in the 2011 finals, or the solo act who could not deliver a title to Cleveland, his home state team," declared The New York Times. "He was, at long last, a champion, proving himself worthy of the label by averaging 28.6 points, 10.2 rebounds and 7.4 assists in the Heat's five-game triumph."
"Best player in the game. Best team in the league," came over the AP wires. "And now, NBA champion."
LeBron has redeemed himself, goes the new story line. The King has his crown, and it's time everyone get over their irrational hate.
Then again, there are a few people out there who will still tell you he's a cocksucker. Can't please everybody.

Although born at Travis Air Base, California, Jacqui considers herself a native of Stuart, Florida, having moved there at eight months old. Her father's family, originally from Syracuse, New York, has lived in Stuart since 1952. Her mother is a 5th generation Floridian from Gainesville.
Jacqui is a journalism and German graduate of the University of Florida, and an education master's graduate of the University of West Florida. She went on to teach both middle and high school English and German, and after a serious accident that included breaking her neck, sold real estate. In 2008 she ran for the Town of Sewall's Point Commission and served from 2008-2016. She is former mayor. As a well known and respected environmentalist, in 2016, Jacqui ran for Martin County Commissioner District 1 losing narrowly to a sixteen year incumbent.
She has chaired the Florida League of Cities' Environmental and Energy Legislative Committee and served on the Board of Directors for Harbor Branch, an arm of Florida Atlantic University. She presently serves on the Rivers Coalition's defense fund and leadership team representing River Kidz, a group that developed under her mayorship. Jacqui is an alternate for the SFWMD Water Resources Advisory Commission. Her blog, "Indian River Lagoon," that focuses on the health, politics, and history of the river, is finishing its fourth year, and is known through out the state educating thousands of readers.
In 2015, Jacqui was featured in Florida Trend Magazine as a "Person to Watch,"the publication stating:
"Jacqui Thurlow-Lippisch's blog tracks algae growth, toxic plumes, and shares information and political commentary. Her aerial photographs provide evidence of environmental damage to the St Lucie River and indian River Lagoon."
Jacqui lives in Sewall's Point with her husband, Dr. Ed Lippisch. The couple is often seen above Stuart in the "River Warrior" plane photographing destructive discharges from Lake Okeechobee and area canals flowing into the St Lucie River/Indian River Lagoon, once considered the most bio-diverse estuary in North America. Since 2013, these photographs have been widely shared on social media as well as in local, state, national, and international publications inspiring both awareness and improvement of Florida's waterbodies.

Coming Together to Reclaim our Village
Traditionally, West African drum and dance have played a vital role in keeping the community united. A West African proverb says, "There is no movement without rhythm."

The results showed a hunger for an artistic outlet, Cansler said. "I saw the arts as.more No comments

find yourself
Find the good.
I am at a point in my life where everything seems to be in limbo and transition and I am realizing that I am not in control over anything. My personal life, my professional life, my education. Everything is on hold and in other's hand.
An inspirational quote found written on the walls of the home where Mother Teresa lived and cared for others in Calcutta. Simple, true and profound.
Life is sad, but when you fall down there's always someone there to wipe your tears and help pick up the pieces, to stand by you and face the troubles together. Who will never leave your side, no matter what happens, you will face the storm as one.

With my feet planted firmly on the ground and head erect, I can obtain a broad and expansive perspective of the world. Or can I? Sweeping landscapes offer splendid vantage points, however my favorite is the macro perspective. Lying down on moist grass, peering through blades of new growth, fills me with wonder. Oh, to have Alice's magic potion, labeled "DRINK ME". How I would love for just a moment, to shrink to the size of a beetle and slide down the stalk of a leaf, dropping me into nature's hidden realm. In my new beetle body, I would scale the foliage as if it was the Andes. I Read More
The Colors of My Life
Please join me as I re-visit San Miguel, however this time...in color. The colors of my life are bountiful and bold, The purple glow of indigo, the gleam of green and gold. The splendor of a sunrise, the dazzle of a flame The glorying a rainbow, I'd put them all to shame. No quiet browns and grays, I'll take my days instead And fill them 'til they overflow with rose and cherry red! And should this sunlit world grow dark one day The colors of my life will leave a shinning light to show the way. Thank you Cy Coleman for your wonderful lyrics to The Color of My Life from the Read More
It was a long winter. The snowbound days of a Vermont winter bring interminably long nights, and excruciatingly short days. I dreaded those months, but no longer. I have discovered that the relentless solitude provides me the opportunity to re-boot. Come January, I slip into a sort of creative incubation. Without the stimulation of being in nature, without its glorious melodies and scents, without the moist grass, slipping between my toes, I grow quiet...until Spring's first shimmering shafts of light appear. A return visit to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico this month, provided me a Read More
Pink, Blue and Neon
They are a century apart, but still, there is a connection. There may be vast differences between the sisters in Renoir's Pink and Blue painting, and these two impressionable young girls, however, what was it that held them transfixed? On a recent visit to the São Paulo Museum of Art, I was intrigued by the museum's expansive picture gallery. The exhibit is unique on many fronts, from how it is displayed, literally in an off-the-wall manner, to an extensive collection of 4th century to contemporary works hung in chronological order. That afternoon, two things caught my attention, Read More
The Iceman Cometh
In the dark of night, a metamorphosis occurs. Without warning or fanfare, nature begins to dress for winter. Seasons change like acts in a play, each with its own cast of characters, conflicts and resolutions. Scene one: introduction of characters. On a crisp, late fall morning, nature wakes, icebound. Overnight, Winter descends upon my bucolic pond. A stunning cloak of glistening crystals forms in the dead of night, weaving its way across the freshly frozen surface. The falling leaves and migrating birds all have been silenced by the introduction of this frosty character. Feeling like Read More
Changing Lenses
What lens do you look through? Last year I had the opportunity to attend a Native American Council Wheel workshop in New Mexico. The Wheel rose out of the Mayan culture as a sort of crisis management tool that can add discernment to any situation. In a nutshell, the Wheel is divided into eight sections, or lenses, each corresponding to the eight compass directions. The belief is that there is a unique perspective, or insight, that comes from each direction. The Wheel aids in conflict resolution by helping to understanding an issue, by examining it from many angles. During these turbulent Read More
The Eyes Have It!
If you had only the eyes of a person to reveal who he or she really is, what would you see? People fascinate me. Meeting people far beyond my realm of reference appeals to me. Travel allows me to step outside of my own comfy, gilded box, into the world of others. Navigating through a solitary, sometimes uncomfortable space, is what stirs my kettle of curiosity. I was once asked, how can I travel to exotic locations, having very little knowledge of the local language and still communicate? My response is simple...just smile. My recipe for melting away cultural barriers is to smile Read More
Buddha's Pilgrims
Every twelve years, during the year of the monkey, a twenty-five day Buddhist celebration is held at the Hemis Monastery in Ladakh, India. Over 8,000 pilgrims travel from as far away as Burma to hear the teachings of venerable Buddhist leaders. These are the true followers of the Buddha, the peasants, the farmers, the indigent. These devotees came to Leh in droves. They included the hobbling elderly, infants attached to their mothers breasts, and novice monks, giddy with excitement. Even though this was a huge gathering, there were no real provisions for the throngs of people. A Read More
Life without reference points; that is what India is. The comparison between my favorite children's classic, Alice in Wonderland and India is undeniable. Alice fell down the rabbit hole where her perspective was immediately altered. Stepping off the plane at the New Delhi airport did not feel much different. In India, like Wonderland, colors are more vivid, sounds are amplified, and smells are intoxicating. The term sensory overload only touches upon your experience. To truly grasp what India offers you must, like Alice, be curious and fearless. You need to leave your metropolitan Read More

Definition - What does Buzzword-Compliant mean?
Buzzword-compliant is a slang term for the tendency of new products to include product support features for the newest technology craze, whatever it may be. The belief is that, by including the latest buzzwords in a product description, a company can wow a consumer into thinking its product is more advanced than other offerings. Buzzword-compliance is relatively easy to achieve as many buzzwords do not represent an actual technology for which compliance is necessary.
Techopedia explains Buzzword-Compliant
When the Internet boom was at its peak in the late '90s, buzzword-compliance meant being "peer-to-peer compliant," "Web 2.0 compliant" or "Java enabled." Now the buzzwords are cloud computing, social media, and so on. Buzzword compliance can also stretch to include vague words that have no quantifiable meaning, such as powerful, interoperable and intuitive. The buzzwords in tech change over time, with some becoming real things that developers must deal with and others fading away into nothing.

What happens when a player is so good so young that there are no better versions against which to compare him?
Mike Trout is unique. The meaning of that word has expanded somewhat, so that it can mean either a) generically special or b) truly one-of-a-kind, without peer or comparison. Mike Trout is the latter definition.
Trout is closing out his age-24 season--his sixth year as a major leaguer and his fifth as a full-timer--and in doing so, is closing out the best stretch of baseball by a young player, ever. Not in the modern era, or with any other qualifiers attached, by but any player. During his time in the majors, he's accumulated 48.3 WAR by Baseball Reference's version of the metric, more than a win greater than Ty Cobb's 46.7 in second place and nearly a full season above Mickey Mantle's 40.9 in third.
WARP only extends back to 1950, but Trout's 46.6 WARP is in first place among players in that period, leading Mantle by nearly four wins. And, just for completeness, Trout also leads using FanGraphs' fWAR, with 47.4 to Cobb's 47.2. Nor is it only a matter of playing time; to find a player with a higher WARP per plate appearance, you need to drop the minimum PA threshold to about half a season's worth. By basically every measure we have, Mike Trout is the best player through age 24 baseball has ever seen.
If you Google "Mike Trout Mickey Mantle" you can see a real progression over time.

The Angels win a football game, Bryan Holaday throws a knuckleball, and the Indians fall just short of history.
The Weekend Takeaway
June 21, 2016 6:00 am
Five years ago this summer, Jered Weaver signed a deal that would keep him in Anaheim through the rest of his prime.
Throwing hard has never been part of Jered Weaver's success. His fastball topped out in the low 90s when he debuted with the Angels as a 23-year-old in 2006, and from 2007-2011 he consistently averaged 90. During that five-year stretch Weaver logged more than 1,000 innings with a 3.40 ERA, held opponents to a .240 batting average and .678 OPS, and finished runner-up for a Cy Young award. He was one of the best pitchers in baseball and did a lot of things very well—deception, command, movement—but he never threw hard.
And then his fastball started shedding velocity. Initially it didn't seem like a big deal because most pitchers threw harder at 23 than they do at 28 and, really, who cares about dropping from 90.1 mph to 88.7 mph when Weaver was also winning 20 games with a 2.81 ERA and finishing third in the Cy Young balloting? That was 2012. Then his velocity kept vanishing and his results began deteriorating as well. Weaver was still having some success, but beginning with 2011 his average fastball basically lost 1-2 mph each year and his secondary numbers got progressively worse.

The Weekend Takeaway
May 18, 2016 11:44 am
Why our changing expectations are driving us all insane.
Pace of game (or time of game? It's so unclear which problem the various hand-wringers want to solve, and there's imperfect overlap when it comes to the solutions to each) is in the news again. The average length of an MLB game this season is three hours, some seven minutes longer than at the same point last season. This, everyone seems to agree, is a problem.
On Monday night, before I saw the Rob Manfred quotes that made it clear this would be a major topic of discussion this week, I sat on my couch, sorting socks and watching the Dodgers play the Angels. It was already past 11:30 Central time when I turned on the game, so I was mildly surprised to find that the top of the seventh inning was just beginning. Apparently, though, I had missed the quick part of the game. Pedro Baez was on the mound for the Dodgers, and pretty quickly, he began laboring. That's not new. Of the 355 pitchers who have thrown at least 10 innings this season, Baez takes longer between pitches (an even 30 seconds) than all but two. The issue was particularly pronounced on Monday, though, because Baez was really up against it.

Or: The Mariners fan's guide to watching the Angels.
The thing is, you're a jerk. Let me back up. I'm a jerk, too. I'm a jerk, and you're a jerk, and our folks are jerks. Probably not really bad jerks, or scary jerks, or even particularly vocal jerks, but jerks of a sort. You're not a jerk because you weren't raised right (although with the influences of those other jerks, who's to say?). You're a sort of jerk because being a fan of one team rather than all the other teams means you are quietly rooting for the failure of other human beings. Not exclusively, and not all the time, and maybe not in ways that are really bad, or scary, or particularly vocal, but sometimes, at least a little.
