It's easy to make fun of CES, as we found out when we announced our excitement at not attending it in 2012. Now, even stalwart, general technology reporters like the New York Times' David Pogue are getting in on the act, questioning whether we really need to watch a bunch of shiny new hardware unveiled for 2013 — especially when we already have pretty good rectangular touchscreens for delivering apps, text, video, and music to us, wherever we are, just fine, thank you very much.
Do we really need OLED televisions? Again? Like we did last year, Pogue wonders whether CES will be the next Comdex, made irrelevant by consumer electronics becoming as commodified the way desktops and laptops were before them.
We were rebelling against CES before it was cool. Nonetheless, we can still think of at least six things that, if announced there, would convince us we were wrong not to fly to Vegas:
1. A Killer, Near-Field, Wireless Entertainment Standard from CEA
The Consumer Electronics Show is put on by the Consumer Electronics Association, which represents every electronics manufacturer you can think of, large and small. For years, we've watched the industry at large flail about ineffectually as Apple's AirPlay standard takes over the living room. Connecting smartphones and tablets to televisions and home stereos is important — it might be the single most important question facing the industry this year. And although Microsoft, Google, and others are finally waking up to that, Apple still owns it.
I would feel silly for skipping CES if the CEA were to announce a new standard for zapping audio and video around the home, with every company from mom-and-pop speaker dock manufacturers to the Sonys and Samsungs of the world pledging to support it. I don't think that's going to happen though, because a standard like this is much more complex than something like a Compact Disc, and even that took a great deal of cooperation between Sony, Philips, and the rest.
Still, if the industry figures out how to put apps, music, and video on consumer electronics equipment using a simple, open standard, it would be bad for Apple – but good for just about everyone else.
2. TV That Doesn't Suck
Nevermind OLED, 3D TV, or ultra HD — how about we fix the perfectly-awesome televisions most of us already own? The menus on our television set-top boxes are the worst thing in technology right now. It takes forever to find anything, the screens and search load way too slowly, and the internet is missing, in most cases. I would regret missing CES this year if 2013 is the year the cable and satellite companies catch up to the rest of the industry in terms of design and functionality, while bringing the internet to the large screen — and, for extra measure, introducing standardized audio syncing of the "second screen" — but I doubt that will be the case, in part because, from their point of view, "if it ain't broke don't fix it." Too bad consumers don't see it the same way.
3. Cars With Apps That Know They're in Cars
One of the early bits of digital music news to emerge from Las Vegas so far is this tidbit from CNET's Greg Sandoval about Pandora finding its way into Chrysler cars, followed by another one from Bloomberg about Rhapsody appearing in Ford cars. In both cases, this is about using a car dashboard to control the vanilla version of a music app on a smartphone.
At CES 2011, Pandora CEO Tim Westergren drove me around Las Vegas in a Cooper Mini to demonstrate how its dashboard could control Pandora on an iPhone. Back then, he said the winning strategy was to use the smartphone as the brains of the car's digital music nerve center, merely controlling it with the dashboard — mainly because most people wouldn't want to pay for another modem in their lives — and a mobile, wireless one at that.
That is still the world we live in today. But at some point, cars are going to run apps natively, and some of them on display at CES already have their own modems, the way they did last year and the year before that. At a certain point, music (and other) apps are going to take advantage of the fact that they are running in cars. Some of this will be about targeted advertising based on where you are, who you are, and where you are going, but some of it will be about the experience itself, and that's where things get interesting for music fans and other consumers.
Earlier this year, we saw an app that played songs by bands from the area through which a car is traveling, but other possibilities include using music to regulate the driver's mood (and maybe even intended speed) for purposes of safety or relaxation, or maybe even sending a song to a driver in another car. The sky is the limit when it comes to smart music playback in the car, but it won't happen until apps are tailor-made for cars.
4. Disgustingly-Cheap-Yet-Pretty-Decent Hardware
If you walk into a drugstore today, you'll probably see tablets and ultrabooks that cost around $50. If electronics are becoming commodotized, which they are, how about some insanely cheap tablets that are somewhat well-made? Some people have multiple televisions in their homes, so they don't have to walk between rooms to see one. If decent tablets cost $50, it's easy to imagine people putting one in every room in the house, just in case someone wants to fact check something online to settle a bet, do some light reading, post a quick status update, or watch a video, without impacting their "main" battery (the one in their smartphone), or using (or finding) a single expensive tablet somewhere else in the house.
However, when the good stuff gets that cheap, we'll need…
5. Recycling Discounts From Retailers
It's no secret that many shoppers view chains like Best Buy as little more than showrooms for the shopping they'll do on Amazon or other online retailers. That's one problem, where brick-and-mortar retailers are concerned. Another problem, where environmentalists are concerned, is that electronics products are filled with weird chemicals and trace amounts of exotic elements and compounds — and yet most people don't recycle them, or even know that they can be recycled.
The Consumer Electronics Show likes to talk about how green it is, which is a little funny, considering that over 150,000 people are expected to fly there to see an entire city of promotional booths that will be erected and destroyed within the space of a week. To get greener, it could encourage gadget recycling with the help of brick-and-mortar retailers. If you automatically get a discount for bringing in an old or broken gadget instead of consigning it to the landfill, you'd be more likely to bring that thing in to Best Buy, rather than paying to ship it to Amazon. And just like that, we'd be keeping dangerous chemicals out of the environment, possibly, eventually, reducing the cost of bringing new devices to market, and extending a lifeline to brick-and-mortar electronics retailers, before only the Apple Store is left.
6. Specialized Smartphone Modules from the Future
Okay, we get it — the smartphone is now the center of our digital (and actual) lives. We are all part of "generation fidgital," to use the New York Times' recently-coined phrase. If CES wants to stay relevant in the smartphone age, these sorts of modules could be one key to that.
I sort of saw this coming, although it happened with apps, not hardware. Now, it's happening with hardware too — by which I mean we're seeing more hardware add-ons to smartphones that extend their functionality, turning them into everything from desktop computers to boomboxes (see Felt Audio and BoomBot). If were Gary Shapiro and a genie granted me three wishes, one of them would be for a rash of exciting smartphone hardware modules like the following announced at CES 2013:
Audio: I describe this here in detail, but the basic idea would be to allow high-end audio format's like Neil Young's Pono music initiative to function on existing smartphones by converting the audio in a small, standalone box.
Camera: You can already buy little snap-on lenses that let you capture optically-transformed panoramic and fish-eye photos and video, which is important, because photos look better when a lense (as opposed to an Instagram filter) transforms their images. If manufacturers figure out how to add killer optics to smartphones, photographers with an eye for quality would no longer be forced to choose between the smartphone they have in hand and the DSLR they probably left at home.
Fitness: You can already get watches, shoes, and pedometers that connect to smartphones for exercise purposes, but we could always use more of them — and, why not, better, cheaper, and more-widely-compatible ones.
Projector: We've little "pico projectors" demonstrated at CES's of the past, but they haven't taken off yet. By snapping on (or wirelessly connecting) a super small projector, it would be possible to share photos, videos, and business presentations without lugging around or locating a full-sized projector.

Much has been made of the many times the Twins have lost a lead to New York. before last night's game, Minnesota had been ahead in seven of their last eight playoff games against the Yankees -- and eventually lost each of the seven games.
But what is a "lead"? There is a huge difference in losing a 1-0 lead in the first inning or blowing a 7-2 advantage in the bottom of the ninth. So I went back to look.
2004 ALDSSome of those are pretty bad (both games in 2004 and Game 2 in 2009), but nearly all of the others -- from only looking at the linescores -- do not stand out in any way other than the fact they they are/were cumulative. (The Twins were also swept in the 2006 ALDS against Oakland. They never led in the series, losing 2-3, 2-5, and 3-8.)
Game 2 - Led 3-1 in 2nd inning, lost lead
Led 6-5 in 12th inning, lost 6-7 (12)
Game 3 - Never led, lost 4-8
Game 4 - Led 5-2 after 7 innings, lost 5-6 (11)
Game 1 - Led 2-0 in 3rd inning, lost 2-7
Game 2 - Led 1-0 in 6th inning, lost lead
Led 3-1 in 9th inning, lost 3-4 (11)
Game 3 - Led 1-0 after 6 innings, lost 1-4
Game 1 - Led 3-0 after 5 innings, lost 4-6
Game 2 - Led 1-0 after 3 innings, lost 2-5
Game 3 - Never led, lost 1-6
Tom Powers of the Pioneer Press has no idea how the Twins' front office will correct the team's flaws.
Where do you find confidence and guts? Where do you find clutch ability? Where do you find playoff fire?Where, indeed.

On Jan. 16, Mayor Bob Filner met the San Diego Port Tenants Association's board. After less than two months as mayor, Filner was unfamiliar to this group. But they knew and trusted the staffer at the mayor's side, his communications director, a former journalist and one-time Port of San Diego official, Irene McCormack Jackson.
"She probably knew everyone in the room personally," said Bill Hall, the tenant association board's chair. "She seemed very enthusiastic in taking on this new role for Mayor Filner."
Enthusiasm, it seems, soon curdled into disgust. On Monday, McCormack Jackson announced her sexual harassment lawsuit against Filner, maintaining her faith in the new mayor was destroyed by repeated lewd comments and unwanted physical passes.
While the mayor's office responded with a brief written denial, Monday's news conference was yet another shocking chapter in San Diego's sleazy civic melodrama. On July 10, three former supporters of the mayor demanded the mayor's resignation, citing "credible evidence" that he had sexually harassed numerous women. But those women were unidentified.
Until Monday. McCormack Jackson is the first to go public.
The 57-year-old El Cajon resident is a familiar figure in local newsrooms and board rooms. Beginning as a student intern in 1977, McCormack Jackson logged more than 26 years at San Diego newspapers. At The San Diego Union and its successor, The San Diego Union-Tribune, she was a reporter and assistant city editor, specializing in hard news. She covered everything from wildfires to murders to hate crimes.
"Irene has dealt in fact and not fiction all of her life," said John Gilmore, a former colleague at both the Union-Tribune and later the Port. "She does not create fiction."
Friends describe her as quiet and thoughtful with a robust sense of humor.
"She's a very credible person," said Marlee Ehrenfeld, president and creative director of San Diego's MJE Marketing Services, who met McCormack Jackson in 1981 when both women worked for the Union. "In her heart, Irene has always been a journalist. She's a seeker of facts, with a strong sense of ethics and telling the truth."
Most friends and colleagues contacted Monday said that McCormack Jackson had not shared her concerns about the mayor's alleged conduct. However one friend, who asked not to be named, said they had had a long conversation about this issue last week — and she was still wrestling with whether or how to go public with her story.
Several attempts were made to contact McCormack Jackson. Monday afternoon she texted a former colleague at the U-T: "I'm not doing interviews. I hope you understand."
Divorced and the mother of two grown daughters, McCormack Jackson left the newspaper in October 2003 to become the Port's director of communications and community services. At the end of her nine-year tenure, she was vice president in charge of external relations and public policy.
At the Port, she won praise for her evenhanded and even-tempered approach.
"She was able to hear both sides" when dealing with tenants' disputes, said Sharon Cloward, president of the San Diego Port Tenants Association.
"And she didn't always have good news. When you got a message from Irene that you didn't want to hear, you were OK with that. She was honest."
She was also tough, colleagues said, holding her own with opinionated and powerful players.
"She was — and is — strong, decisive, incredibly competent," said Hall, a retired Navy captain. "She has my absolute trust."
In a 16-page court statement, McCormack Jackson documents her allegations against the mayor, including instances of physical and verbal harassment.
"When are you going to get naked?" Filner reportedly asked McCormack Jackson during a June meeting in her office. "Come on, give me a kiss."
McCormack Jackson said she refused and asked Filner to leave. His alleged reply: "You cannot kick me out. I am the mayor. I can go anywhere I want, any time I want."
Monday's news conference, said McCormack Jackson's lawyer, was grueling.
"It was a time for her to come forward and set the record straight," Allred told U-T TV. "Today, Irene was very, very brave."

Lita Ford-Out for blood/Dancin' on the edge
Today's post is by Metal Mark from Heavy Metal Time Machine. Be sure to stop by and check out Metal Mark's site.
Lita Ford-Out for blood/Dancin' on the edge
Remasters 2007
The kind people at BGO (Beat goes on) records recently re-mastered Lita Ford's first two releases and stuck them on one disc. I used to have both titles on cassette back in the 1980's, but have not heard either since the early 90's. Ultimately it seems that her debut is not quite as good as I remembered it while the sophomore effort is perhaps even better than I recalled it being. Out for blood sounds a little like Ford's previous band the Runaways at times. So it was even slightly dated for 1983 and it's more rock with hard rock undertones. It's decent, but a little clunk y at times as the band seems to be reaching to establish a style and the slightly fuzzy production also makes it sound a little amateurish. Still it's lively and energetic for the most part.
Dancin' on the edge (originally released in 1984) is the real prize here though. It's obvious that someone with some say wanted Lita to go in a more hard rock direction and she does with some proficiency. The production values are much stronger than the debut with a more professional sound. Also Lita's vocals are way more focused and powerful here. I think she also manages to somewhat establish her own guitar style as well. Unfortunately she didn't really follow up on this guitar style on her later albums. As far as the level of heaviness I would say the overall sound might be comparable to what Ratt or KISS were doing at the same time. The one thing that maybe really makes this album is that the band manages to keep the songs interesting by having new riffs interjected down the stretch. This is done on several songs and it keeps the music from being too repetitious which is a trap that too many hard rock artists fell into. This version is re-mastered and overall sounds fine. There are no bonus tracks, but there is a thick booklet with some history about what Lita Ford did between the end of the Runaways and when she finally did these these two albums. It runs about $21-23 so that's not bad for two complete albums.
Here's a track listing with Out for blood being tracks 1-10 and Dancin' on the edge is 11-19.
1. Out for Blood
2. Stay with Me Baby
3. Just a Feeling
4. Ready, Willing and Able
5. Die for Me Only (Black Widow)
6. Rock 'N Roll Made Me What I Am Today
7. If You Can't Live with It
8. On the Run
9. Any Way That You Want Me
10. I Can't Stand It
11. Gotta Let Go
12. Dancin' on the Edge
13. Dressed to Kill
14. Hit 'N Run
15. Lady Killer
16. Still Waitin'
17. Fire in My Heart
18. Don't Let Me Down Tonight
19. Run with the $
Johnny, you ain't shittin'? You're serious?? You would like to see in live band and hear her song??? Holy shit.You really are American?
hey hi lita ford, where have you been? cuz i haven't heard from you lately that you haven't been not around with your band. i would like to see in live band and hear your song.. please let me know when you will be around. thanks hope to hear from you soon wink
I'm with Bob on this one, Lita Ford sucked back in 84′ and her sucking power is exponentially greater now.
"Rock 'N Roll Made Me What I Am Today" Personally, I find it hard to believe that rock n roll makes anyone suck.

The debut of the HD version of Grupo Clarín's cable news station TN could not have come at a worse time for the Argentine media conglomerate. Conspicuously missing from Monday's premiere was coverage of a new criminal complaint in which Clarín's lawyers accused the government of President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner of inciting violence against the media group. In what the company now acknowledges was a misstep, the complaint named six pro-government journalists.
Grupo Clarín, which owns the country's most widely read daily newspaper, Clarín, as well as radio stations, broadcast and cable television outlets, and an Internet service provider, is Argentina's principal media conglomerate and one of Latin America's largest. It is also the principal adversary of President Kirchner in a battle pitting her and media outlets aligned with her government against those opposed to it. The consequence of this bitter fight is an intensely polarized press, as documented in a special report by CPJ in September. On one side, Kirchner's critics accuse her of stifling press freedom by rewarding allied media and hammering--with regulation as well as advertising--unsympathetic outlets into silence. On the other side, many believe that Clarín has too much power and leverages its huge media holdings to further its private business interests. The rhetoric in the fight has grown increasingly nasty, and both sides of the press devote significant coverage to discrediting each other. Clarín has been accused by the government and pro-government journalists of a variety of sins, which include being liars, monopolists, and perpetrators of crimes against humanity during the country's military dictatorship.
The Clarín complaint denounces the tone of the allegations, all of which the company denies. But Clarín's decision to name several pro-government journalists prompted a backlash among its allies in the political opposition and the press--including some of the company's own prominent journalists.
TN acknowledged its parent company's complaint only later Monday night, after the Centre for Legal and Social Studies, a prominent human rights group led by well-known journalist and former CPJ International Press Freedom Awardee Horacio Verbitsky, said it would defend the six journalists named in the complaint.
Clarín had tried to mitigate the criticism in a statement published hours earlier Monday on the website of its daily Clarín. In the statement, the group claimed it had never intended to file charges against the journalists, merely to cite them as witnesses in the case against the officials. The company has since announced it will amend the complaint so as to not even name the journalists as witnesses. It also published an editorial Wednesday that apologized for the episode and noted the group's willingness to tolerate dissent among its own journalists. It said it could acknowledge its mistakes, drawing a comparison to what it called the government's recalcitrance when confronted with errors.
But Clarín's state of isolation was reflected in the coverage by the country's second most widely read daily, La Nación, the group's most important ally in the so-called "independent press," in its confrontation with the government and its allies. "Clarín backtracks in its complaint against critical journalists," was one of the principal headlines in the political section on Tuesday.
"Clarín made a serious error. Not only does [the complaint] go against freedom of expression, but it gives the government an argument with which to play the victim," was the concise summary of the situation delivered in a message on Twitter by Juan Pedro Tunesi, a congressman with the party that opposes Kirchner. The message raises questions about the negotiations between Clarín and opposition political leaders to find solidarity on the eve of the so-called "7D." 7D stands for December 7, which will be a moment of reckoning for both sides in the three-year legal fight between Clarín and the government regarding provisions of a 2009 broadcast law that requires divestment of significant holdings. Proponents say the law will curb monopolies and democratize media ownership, although critics say it is also intended to hurt Clarín. In May, the Supreme Court ruled that the injunction blocking implementation of that provision would expire on December 7. What this means in practice for Clarín has been hotly contested for the past six months. Clarín is still pursuing one more legal avenue, which challenges the constitutionality of the law.
The government has made its own missteps as it tries to make "7D" the effective launch of the divestment provision of the broadcast bill. Martín Sabatella, head of the federal broadcast regulator, known as AFSCA, has appeared to dismiss what the Spanish telecommunications company Telefónica itself makes plain--that the Argentine television network Telefé is a subsidiary of the Spanish company. That the broadcaster is owned by a foreign company that is involved in another aspect of telecommunications violates provisions of the broadcast law.
Clarín has used the government's apparent unwillingness to pursue divestment of Telefé as evidence of the Kirchner administration's desire to use the law primarily to hurt Clarín. That argument has been made by many independent media analysts as well.
While it is premature to speculate as to the extent of the damage caused by this episode, the fact that Clarín temporarily lost its principal line of defense to the government resulted in an unusual role reversal: The main news producer in Argentina looked clueless in the face of pressure to respond in real time.
One can expect, however, a return to a climate of tension, though perhaps fewer speeches, now that it is clear what is at stake in a power struggle where freedom and processes of democratization are just part of a rhetorical strategy.

In 2008, AROC found Arab Youth Organizing to empower young people and low-income families in the city.
What we've done:
- We presented at Annual Bay Area Ethnic Studies Conferences and Teachers for Social Justice Conferences.
- Developed surveys to answer the question: How does racist curriculum and lack of Arab histories and narratives in schools affect how youth perceive Arabs, and what is the impact on the Arab community in the Bay Area? From those surveys, AYO collected over 350 with responses to questions like this, and developed a report on our findings.
- We published our T.U.R.A.T.H. report back from the survey that we have conducted and are currently distributing to key stake holders.
- Conducted workshops at different High Schools in the Bay Area, about war, and racism, and how they affect students living in the diaspora.
- Work in collaboration with other Youth Programs in the Bay Area.
- Led a campaign and won the passage of Arabic language to be taught in SF Unified School District.
- We testified in front of the Board of Supervisors, City Council Members and the Board of Education.
- Held an annual Arab Youth Summer Institute.

Obamacare Q & A, Part 6
Our ongoing series of questions and answers about "Obamacare" continues with concerns over what senior Medicare consumers understand about deadlines and enrollment.
Q: We keep hearing about open enrollment for the Affordable Care Act exchange policies, and looming deadlines, are they the same as enrollment for Medicare?
A: No, they are not. Medicare, the federal health insurance program for Americans 65 and older, has an open enrollment period for 2014 coverage that ends Dec. 7. Seniors should be reviewing their coverage, and if necessary, choose a new plan or adjust their pharmacy benefits, by then.
Affordable Care Act or Obamacare policies have different enrollment periods. The state shopping exchanges for individual and small business policies, in our case run by a Colorado governmental entity, has a deadline of Dec. 23 if people want coverage to begin on Jan. 1. Consumers can continue to sign up for 2014 through March 31, but the deadline is the 15th of the month before. For example, a policy taking effect Feb. 1 must be purchased by Jan. 15. Individual consumers who do not have 2014 coverage by March 31 then face pro-rated fines for the rest of the year that they do not have coverage, under the Affordable Care Act's controversial mandate clause.
Medicaid, the joint state and federal program providing health insurance to those with relatively low incomes, has a different set of rules. Since the program is an entitlement, meaning that everyone who meets the income guidelines will qualify, people can apply anytime. There is an expansion of those qualifying for Medicaid as part of the Affordable Care Act, and people who have qualified and enrolled in that expansion already will see their coverage begin Jan. 1.
Officials at the web site eHealthMedicare.com also point out that seniors should avoid confusion by using the best web site for their research. Medicare.gov is the best place to go for federal information on Medicare, and various private sites like eHealthMedicare.com can also provide links and information on plans. The federal web site for Affordable Care Act policies is Healthcare.gov; for the Colorado state exchange and for links to the state Medicaid application, the fastest link is Connectforhealthco.com.

Good Riddance
After 50 years in the NL, the Astros are moving to the AL next year. What this means is the Phillies won't be visiting Minute Maid Park every year. Good riddance.
The Astros staved off 100 losses by taking three of four from the Phillies there over the weekend. Since the new park opened in 2000, the Phillies are just 18-26. The Phillies won the first game in that park (then called Enron Field) but only 17 in the next 11 years. They were swept four times.
The weekend put a severe dent into the Phillies hopes of sneaking in as the second wild card. A 13-game span against teams with a losing record started off 3-0. Now, it is 4-3, with the Mets next in NY for three starting on Monday night against their best pitcher.
Too often this season, a late-game bullpen meltdown and inconsistent offense haunted the Phillies, who scored 12 runs on 16 hits in winning Friday and then had just six runs the next two days. They lost to a rookie lefty on Saturday, his second win in 13 starts and the first time he didn't allow a run.
Thursday the meltdown came in the eighth inning, Sunday the seventh. In the three losses, Phillies hitters were 5-31 RISP. They left 31 on base.
The Astros have been outscored by 206 runs but out-homered the Phillies, 6-2.
Fifteen games remain. The Phillies can ill afford many more losses. Meanwhile, the Cardinals next nine games are against the Astros (six) and Cubs (three). But, we can't worry about other teams.
MLB Roundup
There were 15 games played in the majors on Sunday. That's 30 starting pitchers. Not one pitched a complete game.
On the other hand, a total of 126 relief pitchers were used. The longest outing? 2.1 innings.
Instructional League
Players ranging from 16 years of age to 25 are among the 52 minor leaguers who'll participate in the Florida Instructional League program in Clearwater, FL. First workout is Tuesday at Carpenter Field.
Four prize left-handed pitchers will receive individual instructions from September 24-28, Adam Morgan, Austin Wright, Jesse Biddle and Ethan Stewart. None will participate in games.

On top of all their obvious problems (bullpen, lack of clutch hitting, etc.), the Phils need to find a way to make Ryan Howard play like a major league first baseman. He refuses to stretch, catches wth two hands and, most importantly, seems incapable of digging a throw out of the dirt. At least three of the recent losses were directly attributable to the failure to dig out throws — watch the other first basemen around the league and you'll see that the Phils are at a pronounced disadvantage in this respect.
The BIG GLOVE SPITTER must have Jamie Moyer's "use two hands" pleadings etched into his pea brain.

It's the act-two follow-up to that Turkish guy who saved a town from a fireball. A police chase in Cedar Rapids, Iowa ended when a police cruiser was hit by an oncoming train.
The chase, which police say resembled a scene out of, say, Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry, spilled over from a street running parallel to train tracks to the tracks themselves. The cruiser was later hit by a coal-loaded train, which dragged it about 100 yards. The officer involved wasn't injured, mostly because he was smart enough to not be in the car while it was stuck on the train tracks.
Police said the male suspect got away, and remains on the loose, unlike Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry. (Thanks to gravit8 for the tip!

Every year thousands of people in the UK are affected by the death of a baby or experience pregnancy loss. Yet it is still often treated as a taboo subject. To highlight Baby Loss Awareness Week (October 9-15) Claire, 36, has shared her experience. Her daughter lived for just 49 minutes.
'It was the perfect pregnancy. No one tells you that you might not be coming home with a baby, why would they?
"I didn't for one minute imagine that at around seven weeks before my due date things could go so terribly wrong.
"When our daughter was born there was a flurry of activity as she was handed to me, but she didn't cry. There was just silence. They took her away from me and I could see lots of people around her.
"After a while everyone stopped, there was quiet, and they wrapped her up in a blanket and handed her to me.
"She was gorgeous, just beautiful. She had dark hair, she just looked perfect, like she was asleep, wrapped in a blanket. She was small but not the tiniest baby that has ever been born and survived.
The hurt never goes away. You never get over it. You do learn to live with it, though, I call it a 'new normalClaire
"Then you're back in your room - being offered so much tea and toast like it's a cure. I rang my family, the most heartbreaking phone call I have ever made. To tell your parents your baby has died is unimaginable, something nobody should ever have to do.
"My mum and dad and my sister came to see her and we cuddled her for hours. I told her I loved her and I remember kissing her over and over because I knew it was my only chance, even though I still speak to her now.
"In those hours she was smothered with love. And then you have to say goodbye, you hand her back to the midwives and she's gone.
"We left the hospital just 24 hours after we arrived. A five-minute journey home feels endless when you have left without your baby.
"There are so many formalities, and because of this her funeral was about two-and-a-half weeks after she was born. You are occupied in that time, planning the unthinkable. Your head is spinning, it's a constant white noise in your head.
"The hospital made a memory box for us. They took pictures of her and a lock of her hair and handprints and footprints. That's what you come home with; that's all you have got when you should have a baby.
"Family and friends came when we were ready for them to come but some people stayed away, probably because it was too difficult for them.
"Her funeral was a celebration of her. Everyone wore pink and we laughed, probably for the first time. It's a really weird juxtaposition. I remember laughing with people and thinking, how are you doing that? You feel guilty, so guilty. Then you have to really start dealing with it. My mum used to come round and coax me out of the house. My family were, and are, my rock - their unwavering strength and love amazes me every day.
"I went back to work around 16 weeks after I had had her. I visited to try to get that awkwardness out of the way. I was petrified. You know that everyone knows. You feel like everyone's watching you. There are some people who are there to look after you and ease you in and there are others who just avoid you.
"The hurt never goes away. You never get over it. You do learn to live with it, though, I call it a 'new normal'.
"If you know someone who has been through this just reach out to them, just tell them you are sorry. Don't walk away from them. Let them know you are there even if just to cry with or scream about how unfair it is. And if you can find it within you, ask about their little ones - what was their name? How much did they weigh? Speaking of them doesn't remind them of what has happened, they will never forget that. But it does reassure them that their baby is not forgotten.
"I don't want her to be forgotten. She is a precious part of this world. For however short a time, she was here, that matters.
"We now have two more daughters. They talk about her too. They don't understand it all yet but they will one day. She is very much part of our family.
"If I see a rainbow I believe it's her saying, hello. We go on holiday and write her name in the sand. Every Christmas there's a candle for her and a special cracker and a tea light.
"I have a different group of friends now, in addition to those who were there for me. We have lost children at the same time so we go through that journey together.
"I volunteer for a charity called Aching Arms now - they provide a comfort teddy bear for parents who have lost a baby. If it wasn't for my experience I would never have become a part of their fantastic work which ensures that people know they are not alone. It's also another way I see of my beautiful little girl living on."

Baby Loss Awareness Week
Now in its 16th year, Baby Loss Awareness Week is an opportunity for bereaved parents, families and friends to commemorate babies' lives and break the silence around pregnancy and baby loss in the UK. Sands, the stillbirth and neonatal death charity, is one of a coalition of more than 60 charities working to raise awareness of the key issues affecting those who have experienced pregnancy loss or baby death in the UK, and is taking part in activities throughout the week.
The charities are calling for tangible improvements in care and bereavement support and highlighting help and services available for anyone affected by the death of a baby at any stage. Dr Clea Harmer, chief executive of Sands, said: "Baby Loss Awareness Week is a unique opportunity for parents to commemorate their babies who have died.
"Pregnancy loss or the death of a baby is a tragedy that affects thousands of people every year. It is devastating for parents and families, and it is vital they get the bereavement support and care they need, for as long as they need it." Throughout the week bereaved parents, their families and friends are uniting to commemorate the lives of babies who died during pregnancy, at or soon after birth and in infancy. Buildings and landmarks across the UK are being illuminated in pink and blue. The week culminates in the global 'Wave of Light' on October 15 which is also recognised as International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. Families across the world are invited to light a candle at 7pm local time and leave it burning for at least one hour to remember all babies who have died too soon.
For more information on Baby Loss Awareness Week visit: Baby Loss Awareness Sands' National Helpline is free to call and provides a safe, confidential place for anyone who has been affected by the death of a baby.

So my blog has reached the grand old age of two! Even though I did end up going on about how happy I was about my blog in the end I just wanted to share my "Blog Story". Its not so in depth because its so hard to think about things when your talking! I didn't plan and just ended up talking!
I think I'm a victim of being in the right place at the right time when it came to how my blog really got to where it is today. Obviously the initial Lookbook stuff was the starting point, but then the people who were there along for the ride with me, the ones who spread the word, follow and talk about me on their blogs. It just went from strength to strength and its now its beyond my wildest dreams. Im so proud and fortunate to have the things that have happened to me over the past few years. Like I said, honestly if I didn't have you I wouldn't have had half the opportunities I have had. I am so grateful (like i said a billion times!) that you have helped me achieve these things.
I do genuinely read all the comments I get, I also read every email and tweet. I click all the links I'm sent. I think people forget that I am a reader, not just a blogger! Just because I may not comment or openly follow your blog (i mainly follow using google reader or bloglovin nowadays!) doesn't mean Im not there lurking!
So anyway, heres to two years of LLYMLRS!

Michelle Monaghan and Susan Sarandon will star in thriller "Still of Night" with Jonathan Mostow directing from his own script and Exclusive Media financing and producing.
Sarandon is in final talks. Mostow and Steve Alexander will also produce.
Monaghan will portray an aspiring career woman with everything falling into place until her sister, who has a tainted past, disappears. She soon finds herself tangled in a dangerous conspiracy and must outwit a devious criminal (Sarandon) to save herself and her sister.
Alex Walton, Exclusive Media's president of international sales and distribution, is launching "Still of Night" to buyers at Cannes. CAA is representing North American rights.
Production will start in August. Exclusive Media's Matt Jackson will oversee production.
Monaghan starred in "Source Code" and will be seen in "Penthouse North," "Tomorrow You're Gone" and "Better Living Through Chemistry." Sarandon will be seen next in Exclusive Media's "Snitch," Warner's "Cloud Atlas" and Robert Redford's "The Company You Keep."
Mostow most recently directed sci-fi thriller "Surrogates" and just produced "Playing the Field," set for a Christmas release through FilmDistrict. He also wrote the story for "House at the End of the Street," due out in September through Relativity Media.
Exclusive Media made the announcement Friday, a day after disclosing that it has teamed with Cross Creek Pictures to launch a three-year deal to co-finance, co-produce and co-develop at least two film per year with budgets up to $65 million. First project from the new partnership is the long-in-development thriller "A Walk Among the Tombstones," starring Liam Neeson and directed by Scott Frank.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 89 diseños de 25 diseñadores freelance.
We are opening a new dance studio and need design work soon including logo, business card, and stationery (the logo and business card are most important and will receive the most consideration). We will need the design in a vector file format for printing (Will be used on large banners -- I'm not sure but I think .ai and .eps are good...you all probably know better than me on this) and on our website (probably jpeg format and other web appropriate files)
In Motion Dance Studio
We offer a broad range of dance styles to a broad range of ages (although most of our clientele are children). Our classes include everything from ballet to breakdance. Design work should have a professional look and feel, but at the same time portray energetic fun.
- Item 1...Name of the company in the logo (In Motion Dance Studio)
- Professional but fun
- Give a sense that we are an inclusive, inviting studio. We do not want to set ourselves up as a studio for elites.
- Item 1...If you have a dancer in your design work, I would prefer that the dancer is neither a ballerina nor a breakdancer.

At wheresthefairness.com everyday people get to tell their story, plead their case and open discussion on the latest happening, civic battle or ongoing legal case. Submissions are categorized and Lawyers get the opportunity to sift through possible clients and cases, offer opinion or find cause for class action suit.
WTF is an up-close view of America's legal moral grievances and solutions and a filing system for lawyers and sponsoring journalists looking for public opinion stories. It's a legal playground for all those interested in moral legal parlay.
Law, Ethics and its affect on society is an infinite subject. It's not just for the rich or the famous: our laws and the breech of them not only entertain and educate us but define us our communities and our moral base. The name brand itself, Where's the Fairness, will command the attention of the educated consumer and drive and urge the social play and interaction on the sites. It's a place where journalists and lawyers can convene to discuss, debate and connect with colleagues and possible clients, characters and stories.
Since "WTF" is mostly used in text messaging we should use the most popular "text messaging font". We are looking for a logo where WTF and Where's the Fairness? is in it. It will need to be used online and on television. It needs to look "legal" but we don't like the "scales of justice" theme. It needs to attract the best lawyers as well as the simplest person in the world. We want to be the one who gives someone who filed a lawsuit hope in that we will get their case talked about and possibly in the press. The WTF part of the design should also give people the feeling that they will be entertained by outrageous or funny stories and cases...the wtf also has the double meaning "what the f-ck!" Please be very creative!!!!

Pool landscaping Mendota Heights MN
Need help with Pool landscaping in Mendota Heights MN?
The methods of landscaping steep slopes and hillsides must simply address creative ways to hold the property in place. And while designs may vary depending on location, materials, and other circumstances, the basics are pretty much the same for most. Some basic methods will hold or simply cover the soil and others will be more elaborate and dependent on other principles
For instance in Mendota Heights MN , if deep rooted ground cover plants are used without any retaining walls or support, the method of watering will need to be adjusted much different than that of flat or terraced ground. So the survival of ground cover plants and lawns on hills and steep grades will also require different considerations for proper watering.

Choosing the Best Landscape compny Service ProviderLandscape design is an important aspect of designing your property. If you have land surrounding your house, you can plan and design a beautiful landscape to give you extra living space or add aesthetics to the building. Landscape design can be done for homes, public places and corporate establishments. A well-designed landscape can enhance the value of the property.Before going in for landscape design, plan and work out the design in detail. If you can visualize your plan using software, it can give you a good idea of how the landscape will look. The landscape should merge well with the building around it. You can use a formal style, informal style, English garden, or an Oriental or woodland look, depending on the architecture and look of the main building. Then prioritize what functional this landscape design should serve. It can be a new area for play or leisure, to block sun, wind or street noises, or to improve the look of the property. Analyze your site to see how you can implement your ideas. Decide on the plants, statues, steps and lighting you will need. Finally, see that your plan matches the climate of the area as well as your budget. Looking into all the details beforehand can save you lots of effort and money in trying out various ideas.If you cannot handle this task on your own, you could hire a landscape designer. Or, if you have enough interest in the subject, you could learn all the tactics in a landscape designing course. On the Internet there is vast information on landscape designing available, if you want to put in the time and effort. There are lots of forums and associations of landscape design that have come up to bring together people to share views and experiences on landscape designs. Whatever way you go, it is better to go in for such a plan that involves minimal use of pesticides in the long run and does not require a great deal of maintenance.
While the majority of elements discussed here focus on the erosion control and planting of hills and sharp grades, there are also other elements that may need consideration. In some instances, access may be necessary up and down the side of the lot and so of course there will be a need for stairs or steps. This directory has a lot of great ideas and pictures of stairs and steps that can be used in landscaping and garden.

Full Squad Draws More Fans
Day 6 is the first full squad workout. 57 players on the fields at Carpenter Complex. More players on the fields meant more fans wondering around the complex. Many more fans.
The day started with exercises around 10:10 a.m. Fundamentals, both in discussion form and on the field form, followed. Pitchers did their usual long tossing program and groups 3-4 threw off the mound. Groups 1-2 bunted in the indoor cages at Bright House Field.
During bunt defense drills on the Schmidt and Ashburn fields, everyone was involved, except Howard. He stood off to the side as he's not ready for a lot of activity.
Batting practice started right after noon on all four fields. Fans love BP.
Hitting Groups
1—Galvis, Gillies, Lerud, Mayberry, Polanco, Schneider, Victorino.
2—Brown, Howard, Luna, Montanez, Pence, Pierre, Thome.
3—Garcia, Hernandez, Kratz, Nix, Podsednik, Utley, Wigginton.
4—Frandsen, Gosewisch, Martinez, Orr, Rollins, Ruiz, Valle.
Pitchers ended with conditioning at noon; hitters at 12:35 p.m. The 10-a.m. to 12:45 p.m. routine will continue through Tuesday.
Prior to the Saturday and Sunday workouts, all players will be scheduled for dermatology exams, oral cancer screening and eye screening.
Majestic, manufacturer of the uniforms, will be there on Saturday morning to measure every player. The order will include two home and two road uniforms for every player. Extra pants for position players and for some starting pitchers, a third jersey.
Spring Training Memories
Ricky Bottalico (RHP, 1994-98; 2001-02)
"My first spring was 1992 with the Phillies minor leaguers. I lived in a small apartment near the bay with another pitcher, Dan Brown. I remember walking in the clubhouse at Carpenter Complex and seeing a No. 9 with my name on it hanging in a locker. I felt strange that first day because I really didn't know most of the minor leaguers and there were a lot of them.
"I really loved spring training every year because I was getting out of cold weather and playing baseball. It was work but it was fun work. I enjoyed the rare chances we had to play some golf. What didn't I like? My performance. I was a terrible, terrible spring training pitcher. I couldn't get anyone out."

Mark Kozelek is a prolific artist whose many musical identities sort of serve to hide just how goddamned deep his catalog actually runs. He spent more than a decade as the driving force behind Red House Painters before releasing work under his own name, and then, under the moniker Sun Kil Moon — his current (and best-known) incarnation.
Kozelek is also restless musician whose past is littered with abandoned sounds and styles; vocal and instrumental choices are regularly cast aside, frequently to the dismay of his insanely devoted fanbase. It's been two decades since Red House Painters' first release, Down Colorful Hill, and over those years, Kozelek has created a handful of beloved masterpieces whose only consistent element is the man at the microphone. Even that man's voice has morphed; in Red House Painters' 4AD days, Kozelek's baritone plumbed murky depths to achieve a haunting otherworldly glow, but at some point, he shifted to a higher register, recalling (almost surely not coincidentally) Neil Young, one of Kozelek's favorite artists.
Kozelek's first two LPs under the Sun Kil Moon banner displayed robust instrumentation not unlike the final two Red House Painters albums, but 2010's Admiral Fell Promises and the brand new Among The Leaves are spartan affairs, built almost exclusively around Kozelek's voice and his nylon-string guitar. That approach may not be altered anytime soon. "I can't afford to make Dark Side Of The Moon nor do I have the interest," said Kozelek in a recent interview. "I'm 45 and I don't have time to spend two years of my life bringing in producers and dragging the record around the planet. I'm always moving forward creatively and don't like stalling, trying to find the perfect snare drum sound."
Of course, for an artist with Kozelek's track record, it's hard to imagine any one configuration being employed for long — and where he goes next is, as always, anyone's guess. So now, 20 years in, we're lining up the man's massive catalog end to end and ranking it, starting with his worst release and leading up to his best. (Remember, these are relative terms: Kozelek's "worst" work is neither bad nor inessential, it's only the "worst" in the context of his oeuvre.)
This isn't a comprehensive list — most notably, it's too early to pass judgment on Among The Leaves, so that's missing. This also doesn't take into account the Finally LP (an LP in name only; it would come in at 15 on this list), Kozelek's MANY live albums (seriously approaching Pearl Jam territory here) or his from-the-sidelines work with the likes of Retribution Gospel Choir and Hannah Marcus, among others. Still, there are 14 albums here: a mighty sampling from one of the finest artists of his generation.
The countdown starts here.

"Miami chef Castro (Simply Mexican) offers a flavorful addition to the stacks of grilling cookbooks. She offers grilling tips, discusses grilling with wood and charcoal, and writes on rubs, marinades, and glazes. The recipes, written for the novice cook, include Mexican Chocolate Cupcakes with Cajeta Buttercream (topped with caramel buttercream), Nicaraguan Grilled Skirt Steak (a simple recipe for steak marinated with fresh parsley sauce), and Butter Rum Cake with Lime Icing (a traditional Cuban dessert made with vanilla instant pudding, light rum, vanilla, lime juice, and fresh mint)."
—Library Journal, 6/15/11
"Having directed a culinary academy in Florida, and currently teaching food science at New York University, Castro (Simply Mexican) provides a well-thought-out syllabus balancing the love of grilling up a fiesta with the often overlooked culinary reality that Latin America is "a huge region made up of many countries." Employing 90 different recipes, she creates 10 cookout menus, each with a cocktail, starters, entrees, sides, and a dessert, and each representative of different locales and their various influences. The Yucatecan Barbecue plays off that area's love of citrus with a lime-marinated shrimp and crab, while the Nicaraguan Ranch Roast includes a coffee-rubbed cowboy rib-eye, bringing together two essential staples from that country. Regionalized drinks include a Peruvian pisco sour and Cuba's "national cocktail," the mojito. Coconut cupcakes finish off a Brazilian rodizio, while in the northern Andes, Venezuelan chocolate pudding is the preferred dessert. In addition to the brief food geography lessons that begin each chapter, there are "menu game plans" for plotting out the meal time line, from prepping a day in advance to wrapping leftover grilled pork to use later for cubano sandwiches. (Apr.)"

Today I rejoined DiGRA, the Digital Games Research Association. This feels appropriate.
What does DiGRA do? It's easiest just to look at the website, but basically it's a standard organisation for – as it says on the tin – people who research games. There's the usual executive board, mailing lists (most communications thankfully done online), and a major conference somewhere in the world, which used to be every two years but is now annual. An OA journal, plus a few special interest groups, covering player experience, game accessibility and role-playing studies, are also supported as is a bubbling community of younger researchers and students.
It's an interesting organisation; though not a huge one, it's been slowly growing over the years as the quantity of games research, and researchers, increases across not just academia but other sectors. There's a slight Nordic/European tilt to DiGRA, but they have members, and conferences, in other places. In the UK there's plenty (and last years conference was held in Dundee), and there's more than a few in the US. DiGRA also has chapters in a gradually increasing list of countries, such as China, Israel, Italy and Japan.
I was a member for a while in the early days, and presented at the first DiGRA conference, in Utrecht in 2003. It was a small, but friendly and positive, conference. My paper and presentation were … not very good … and it's very unlikely that an equivalent quality of paper would be accepted now. That is a good thing: the niche of games in learning has moved on a lot, my own personal research and writing have also hopefully improved, many more game researchers makes for (hopefully positive) competition and quality threshold increases, and the standard of content at DiGRA events is a lot higher.
I haven't been back since, and dropped out of DiGRA after a while. Several major life changes, relocating and moving to various places and countries (an island with no proper broadband for five years didn't help), and non-gaming work opportunities meant I drifted to only doing game-based research occasionally. Despite this, I'm still regularly startled to see – and have mixed feelings about – some of my publications of that time continuing to be heavily cited. But, despite being otherwise busy over the last nearly fifteen years or so, I've kept in touch with some DiGRA members and other game researchers (social media helps with this tremendously), as well as popping up to attend and speak at various events, predominantly in the Nordic countries and the USA.
Now, I have a sort-of plan for the medium term which is very much focused on games in learning research and work activities. Whether it works is dependent on a little luck, and a lot of hard work. Therefore, it seems sensible to plug into various relevant networks, and I'm pleased that DiGRA is not only still around but flourishing. So I joined earlier today, and I'm hoping to attend, possibly even present, at some future DiGRA annual conference – and therefore maybe set a record for the longest gap between presenting at two such events. It's good to be back.
The lead picture? Today is Sveriges Nationaldag, so I thought I'd choose a picture I've taken there. This has nothing to do with games, but what the heck – going around the Stockholm archipelago on ferries was one of the most enjoyable days of travel I've ever had. Happy National Day of Sweden!

Konami Announces Iraq Shooter 'Six Days in Fallujah'
"Fallujah" is billed as a realistic take on the United States military's attack on the Iraqi city, told over a period of six days.
"We replicate a specific and accurate timeline--we mean six days literally," said Atomic Games president Peter Tamte to the Wall Street Journal. "We track several units through the process and you get to know what it was like from day to day." Atomic conducted extensive research for the game, consulting with more than three dozen US soldiers that fought in Fallujah. Marine sergeant Eddie Garcia, who served as a consultant on the project, says the game will "add some humanity to the subject."
"It's easy to be an armchair quarterback [about war] when you're at home," said Garcia. "There were 19-year-olds in the Marines making life-altering changes."
The title has been tailored around the experiences of the soldiers. Because troops were more likely to knock over a building than risk running through them, the game will feature a robust physics engine to enable realistic environment destruction.
The subject matter carries an obvious potential for controversy. Atomic Games admits that it has yet to decide whether players will be able to take on the role of Iraqi forces.
"The process of constructing the game will have built-in decisions made by the creators that will have ideological overtones," said NYU assistant professor of global media Aram Sinnreich. "What goes in their product constitutes a bias."
"We're not trying to make social commentary," remarked Konami marketing VP Anthony Crouts. "We're not pro-war. We're not trying to make people feel uncomfortable. We just want to bring a compelling entertainment experience. At the end of the day, it's just a game."
Commentators will have plenty of time to debate that last point, with Six Days in Fallujah set for release sometime in 2010.

Fall off the horse? The best thing to do is to get right back on. That's easier if your not spurting organ goo out of every ruptured pore. According to the Times, equestrians have turned to airbags.
From Katie Thomas's story about air bags for equestrians:
"It's certainly the biggest step forward in the safety of our sport, ever," said Oliver Townend, a British rider who was wearing a vest in April when his horse tumbled on top of him at the Kentucky Three-Day Event in Lexington. Townend broke his sternum, four ribs, his collarbone and the tips of his shoulder bones - but he is a true believer in the vest.
"I walked out of hospital the next day, where otherwise I would be in a box or in America for a month," Townend said in a recent phone interview.
Commonly available—but not widely adopted—for motorcyclists for the last decade, companies like Point Two and Hit-Air have adapted their air bag vests for horse-o-cyclists. Riders attach a small lanyard to the saddle which when pulled after a rider falls inflates the bags using a CO2 from a small canister.
While most of the systems include a "smart" latch that is supposed to detach itself when a rider is simply dismounting, an etiquette has evolved between equestrians, who warn each other to unclip before dismounting, according to Thomas': "'It's always a source of amusement,' O'Connor said. 'You hear a pop and somebody's looking like a marshmallow.'" [NYTimes]

MEAD, Neb. (April 1, 2013) – In an effort to foster education and collaboration between growers and beekeepers, the Bayer Bee Care Program will travel to the University of Nebraska on April 1 as it continues its Bee Care Tour throughout the Midwest. Held at the University of Nebraska Agricultural Research and Development Center near Mead, the event will bring together leading researchers and beekeepers to promote science-based solutions aimed at improving honey bee health. The event will arm growers with top stewardship practices and will host a presentation from Dr. Marion Ellis on "Pollination and Honey Bee Health."
"Ongoing collaboration with partners and stakeholders is essential to advancing sustainable solutions for honey bee health in Nebraska," said Dr. Ellis, University of Nebraska apiculture specialist. "Through the mobile Bee Care Tour, Bayer is able to foster interaction directly with supporters of bee health in Nebraska to heighten discussion, increase awareness and encourage the sharing of ideas."
The Tour will bring a specially-wrapped vehicle along with an interactive exhibit to provide stewardship workshops and expert presentations on issues impacting honey bee health to the Nebraska community. Additionally, attendees will have the opportunity to become a champion for bee health, a Bayer initiative encouraging stakeholders to make pollinator health and stewardship a priority when planting.
Specifically the Tour:
The Bee Care Tour traveled to university agriculture schools and farm communities across Corn Belt states over the past two months. Additional tour stops have included Commodity Classic in Orlando, The Ohio State University in Wooster, University of Illinois in Urbana and Iowa State University in Ames. The tour will conclude next week at the University of Minnesota in St. Paul.
The Tour is part of Bayer's overall Bee Care Program and commitment to honey bee health. The Program, which includes initiatives such as Bayer's global Bee Care Centers and honey bee research, brings Bayer's extensive experience and knowledge in honey bee health under one platform. A Bee Care Center is currently under construction at the North American Bayer CropScience Headquarters at Research Triangle Park, N.C. which will aid the advancement of honey bee research by providing a state-of-the-art research and meeting facility. Additionally, the Program includes Bayer's Bee Ambassador campaign, a field staff training initiative dedicated to cultivating dialogue and awareness around topics related to honey bee management and health.
"Bayer recognizes the important role of bees in our backyards, our communities, our crop fields and our world," said Robyn Kneen, Bayer CropScience North America Bee Health project manager. "Through the Tour, we hope to help increase the public's awareness of the critical need for pollinators to help maintain the world's food supply."
Bayer is committed to environmental stewardship and sustainable agricultural practices, including the protection of beneficial insects such as honey bees.

Danks will be making the first trip to the disabled list in his nine-year professional career. Left-handed reliever Hector Santiagohad his contract purchased from Double-A Birmingham to replace Danks.Santiago, 23, has split the season between Class A Winston-Salem and Birmingham, going a combined 6-5 with a 4.08 ERA and 73 strikeouts in 14 starts during his first season as a starter. The 6-foot, 210-pounder was 2-3 with a 3.68 ERA in eight starts with Winston-Salem and 4-2 with a 4.58 ERA in six outings with the Barons.
… Santiago learned of his promotion on Sunday morning, when Birmingham manager Bobby Magallanes asked if the southpaw could work out of the bullpen. When Santiago said he could, Magallanes said he would be doing it for the White Sox. The young man arrived at U.S. Cellular in the sixth inning and already was warming up in the bullpen by the eighth. …
Santiago was a reliever until this year. He added a screwball this year.
UPDATE: Josh Phegley, Santiago's catcher in Birmingham, talks about Santiago's screwball:
"I haven't quite figured it out yet," Barons catcher Josh Phegley told the Birmingham News. "It's a pretty interesting pitch.
"I've heard hitters ask me what it is. It's like a right-handed curveball from a left-hander. The 95-96 (mph fastball) from the left side is going to be hard enough."
