World's first 16-frame ultra-high speed camera delivered
Specialised Imaging Ltd. has recently delivered the World's first 16 channel camera capable of capturing images at 200,000,000 frames per second with gating down to 5ns to the UK's EPSRC Engineering Instrument Pool, which is run for the EPSRC by the STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory at Didcot in Oxfordshire.
The Pool loans high specification instruments to UK university-based researchers to perform leading edge research where the ultimate image resolution and speed are required. Adrian Walker, Manager of the Engineering Instrument Pool at the STFC said "initial experiments using the new SIM-16 ultra-fast framing camera by the Material Science Department at the University of Oxford have produced some exciting results". He added "other leading UK research groups are now lining up to gain access to the SIM-16 to address imaging challenges in applications including plasma physics and effects of cavitation in turbines".
Originally introduced in 2006 the expanding SIM framing camera range has generated considerable interest in industrial and academic research groups around the world. Applications for ultra high speed multiple framing cameras include material studies (impact mechanics, crack propagation, impact deformation), automotive (combustion research), aerospace (stress failure, aerodynamic performance), high voltage electrical discharge research, plasma display studies and microdevices (dynamics of operation).
Wai Chan, Managing Director of Specialised Imaging Ltd. commented "The new SIM-16 framing camera was designed to extend the analytical gathering capacity of high-speed data from ultra fast events. Our system uniquely is able to eliminate effects such as parallax and shading, inherent in other designs, and the high spatial resolution (> 50 lp/mm) is the same frame to frame and in both axes. We have also overcome simultaneous high-speed image capture problems by incorporating an optical port into the primary beamsplitter to which various secondary recording instrumentation can be interfaced. The SIM optical port framing camera not only enables direct interfacing with high-speed video, a streak camera or a time resolved spectrometer but also offers the added advantage that the secondary recording is made from the same optical viewpoint as the ultra fast discrete image sequence".
The SIM-16 framing camera from Specialised Imaging Ltd. takes takes the capture of images for accurate, high-speed spatial analysis of fast transient events to a new level. Unlike traditional high-speed framing cameras the unique optical design of the SIM provides the choice of 4, 6, 8 or even 16 separate optical channels without comprising performance or image quality. An integral TFT monitor allows users to 'see what the camera sees' in real-time, thus allowing users to easily optimise focus and lighting to achieve spectacular results. All imaging Focusing functions can be controlled from the intuitive local keypad for setup, arecan be controlled locally at the camera while full remote operation is achieved over standard Ethernet cabling enabling the SIM-16 to be easily integrated into almost any environment. Optional fibre optic communications are available when the camera is used in electrically noisy environments. Comprehensive operational software provides simple control of imaging parameters and extensive measurement tools to accurately analyse results. Image archiving in a wide range of industry standard file formats is supported.

The ESFF team with Mark Kermode, Linda Ruth Williams and Kathy Hubbard
2014 was a memorable year in lots of different ways for Scotland and that was also true of this year's Edinburgh Short Film Festival. It was a year firsts; from our first overseas collaboration as well as our partnership and screening programmes at other film festivals across Scotland at both the Screenplay Film Festival and at the Aberdeen International Film Festival. We also hosted a visit from Mark Kermode, who presented our final screening session at the Cameo, more of that anon.
2014 began with our 'Best Of 2013' night at the Hidden Door Arts Festival in April. The event hosted a dozen arts events performing simultaneously in 21 Victorian-era vaults on Market Street. We filled vault 19 with an estimated 300 visitors to our film screening on Friday April 11th.
The Festival itself launched on Friday June 6th at Summerhall and the 7th saw us screening a selection of short films from China brought by Shanghai-based film organization KanKan Media, many of which were UK premiers. On the Sunday, we were treated to a Q&A by Caribbean film-maker, Karen Martinez, whose colourful, intoxicating Trinidadian romantic drama 'After Mas' added vivacity and colour to the programme
The following weekend we played host to the multi-award winning director and actor, Anna Yanovskaya, whose comedy-drama 'Goodman' about a Muscovite policeman on the edge of a nervous breakdown was a highlight of the second weekend. Anna also gave a fascinating talk on film-making in Russia.
Among some of the other film highlights that stood out from this year's crop and very indicative of the diversity and range of the programme, 'The Hour Glass' told a moving, poignant and witty fantasy about Death and an abandoned baby. We also screened 'Il Confessionale' a taut wartime thriller from Italy and Anthony Farquar-Smith's delightful experimental animation 'Stick Out' featuring dancing ice-lollies! The Scottish-based screenwriter and director team of Mandy Lee and Eleanor Yule gave us the charming romance 'Love Cake' and from Glasgow the witty 'Getting On' was a comedy stand-out of the first weekend. I could also mention 'Not Anymore' the powerful and moving documentary about the Syrian conflict and a brave young journalist's struggle to get her story to the outside world and, of course, 'Coda' by Alan Holly, the unique and life-affirming (and death-affirming) animation from Ireland won the most creative film award.
Mark Kermode and Linda Ruth Williams at the screening of 'Reels on Wheels' at the Cameo
Another of the festival's highlights was the final screening at the Cameo of 'Reels on Wheels' which was presented by none other than Mark Kermode, who also gave a Q&A after the screening. 'Reels on Wheels' tells the story of the 'Hansel of Film' which was a short film project funded by the London Olympics. Spearheaded by Mark Kermode and Linda Ruth Williams and co-ordinated by the force of nature that is Kathy Hubbard, Hansel of Film saw hundreds of short films ferried to every corner of the British Isles by teams of brave, and often hardy, volunteers from Shetland to Southampton via Northern Ireland and Wales, in an Olympic-torch style relay that was part-marathon and part-film festival. 'Reels on Wheels' tells the whole hectic and barn-storming story of an amazing (and largely unsung) cultural achievement, a film that encapsulates what co-operation of willing people can achieve by working together and it does so with huge warmth and charm.

Was any comic as fixated on (mis)perception as Jacques Tati? "Sight gag" doesn't begin to cover the worlds Tati designed—a seaside village, an ultramodernist house, a hall-of-mirrors city—and laced with playful misprision and graceful goofs. A compleat comedian-auteur like Chaplin or Jerry Lewis, Tati played his most famous character, Monsieur Hulot, with music-hall-honed agility, but also as the windswept bystander to his mass orchestrations. MOMA presents a centenary-and-change retrospective with new prints, following the huge Cinémathèque Française exhibition that re-created the entire house constructed for Mon Oncle (while we pore over Tim Burton's cocktail napkins).
While the Modernist Times funhouse of Playtime comprises Tati's magnum opus, the idealized French provinces prevailed in his first two features. In Jour de fête (1949), a fussy, twitchy-mustached postman (Tati, pre-Hulot) on a bike gets drawn into a village's hectic prep for a fair. But it was with Monsieur Hulot's Holiday (1953), an international hit, that a star was born—not just Hulot, but the innovative stylistic armature of gags in long shot, sharply delineated sound design, and sidewalk-café observational pacing. Tati has an affectionately zoological eye for the inn dwellers and beachgoers of a beachside resort: chattering clutches of card players ruffled by open-door drafts, a grump chucking aside every seashell his wife hands him, Hulot himself helplessly drawn to rescue a droopy ball of taffy. Visual puns (birdsong played over tennis players behind cage-like fences, a tire mistaken for a funeral wreath) encourage the viewer to play along.
Mon Oncle (1958), in which Hulot's sister keeps up appearances (and gadgets) and nudges bro into her husband's plastics factory, confirmed Tati's modernist fascination and tight control over color, score, and noises as idiosyncratic as voices. Playtime (1967) was the culmination of his interests: Tati/Hulot visiting Paris's outer limits, with its International Style architecture, and ritualizing the mistake of the city newcomer: paying attention to everything, with sweetly absurd results. Specially designed by Eugene Roman, a (multimillion-franc, bankrupting) complex of glass skyscrapers, corridors, and cubicles corral Hulot—now a face in the crowd—yielding as potent a treatise on urban design as Godard's 2 or 3 Things I Know About Her through tricky perpendicular editing. (The "real" Paris is glimpsed in reflections.) This is the film that fully anoints Tati as "democratic" visionary and unsung godfather to cinema modernism. A jostling, jazzy Dionysian restaurant sequence, masterfully escalated and attended by the best bad waiters ever, sees us into dawn and a characteristic diminuendo ending.
Throughout, Tati is a joy to watch, an artist in motion: pipe, raincoat, stalking gait with a liquid lag, murmuring and awkwardly gallant. The top-bottom bodily disconnect is key to his stops, starts, and bows—and recalls his Colette-endorsed horse-and-rider bit, on display in his nostalgic final work, Parade (1974), a joyful potpourri of filmed circus acts. It's shot on video with hangover-of-'60s garishness, and like the extraordinary long-shot detail and color of Tati's perpetually detoured 1971 "road-movie" Trafic (inexplicably starring Hulot as a designer of the very thingamajigs that once flummoxed him!), the richness fills the screen and the eyes.
Besides a 1936 René Clément short with gangly Tati as a farm boy recruited for sparring (sports-based routines were initially his specialty), MOMA also shows the delightful Cours du soir (1966), shot during Playtime downtime, in which Tati presides at a night school for pratfalls and mime. It's quite an education, but then, Tati was always good at training us all as observational comedians.

Welcome to the original green folder selection of prose and poetry.
They are a strange collection of words that have (mostly) stayed with me, influenced the way I thought then, in some way shaped the way I think now.
They are mostly 'mainstream', much of the poetry (but not all) is available on the internet already, but probably little of the prose.
I trust the owners of copyright will not be offended by these short extracts from the diary of a nineteen year old nearly forty years ago.
Like me, it is not all there yet, and probably never will be.

The Parent-Child interaction, in children with ADHD
The Parent-Child interaction, in children with ADHD
Dr Shelley Hyman
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a chronic and pervasive childhood disorder that is characterised by inattentive, hyperactive and impulsive behaviours. It comes with no surprise that such behaviours commonly weaken the relationship the parent has with their child and induces large amounts of stress on the parents.
Moreover, studies have proposed that over time, counterproductive parenting behaviour and parental stress may lead to the adoption of maladaptive forms of parenting that can exacerbate ADHD symptom severity.
For example, a meta-analysis conducted by Theule and her colleagues (2010) found that parents of children with ADHD are more likely to experience parenting stress, compared to parents with children without a clinical disorder. Further, they also found that symptom severity of ADHD was also linked to parenting stress.
Another study conducted by McLaughln and Harrison (2006) analysed the relationship between various parenting factors (including their parenting competence and practice) with their perceived severity of their child's disruptive behaviour.
They found that a combination of these parenting variables was significantly associated with 32% of the variance in how they perceived the severity of ADHD within their child. Other studies have found that poor parenting is one of the strongest predictors of negative long-term outcomes in children with behaviour problems.
In light of this research, there lies a large body of evidence highlighting the efficacy of behavioural parenting training as a treatment for ADHD. Behavioural parenting training involves teaching parents behavioural strategies like identifying and changing the antecedents and consequences of their child's actions, monitoring problematic behaviours, increasing positive behaviour (e.g. providing rewards praise and positive attention, and decreasing unwanted behaviour (e.g. giving time out).
These studies suggest that improving the interaction between the parent and child may improve outcomes for the child. Providing early intervention for childhood disorders like ADHD is vital, as the effects of ADHD when left untreated can have severe consequences for the patient as they progress to adolescence and beyond.
Here at SCDC, we offer services that involve working on parent-child interactions as a form of intervention for children with learning disabilities. We understand how parenting. For more information, or to book a consultation, call us on (02) 9387 6166.

Turkcell and Huawei Complete LTE Spectrum Coordination on a Commercial Network
Turkcell and Huawei have completed LTE Spectrum coordination on Antalya's commercial LTE network with Huawei's latest eRAN13.1 solution. This solution enables coordination between high and low LTE bands to realize channel selection based on a user's experience and maximize user throughput.
The deployment of high frequency bands has been facing huge challenges. Uplink coverage pales in comparison to downlink coverage due to the inherent characteristics of these bands and limited transmit power of terminal devices. As a result, high bands fail to deliver an excellent cell-edge user experience and rich spectrum resources cannot be fully leveraged.
LTE Spectrum Coordination can effectively improve user experience at the cell edges. In this test, the downlink channel is always hosted by both high and low bands, while a UE can select either high or low bands as a suitable uplink channel to obtain a high data rate and an excellent experience. A UE located in the center of the cell selects high bands as an uplink channel, whereas a UE located at the edge of the cell selects low bands for better uplink coverage. This solution effectively improves cell-edge user experience. According to test results, the downlink data rate increased by over 30% at cell edges.

do what it takes!!!
September 7th, 2009
I woke up this morning thinking about my dreams and made the decision to do at least five things today towards making them come true. It seems that my focus is always heighten on holidays when most people aren't working. I feel it gives me a mental advantage.
Since my first business venture in 1995, I've always looked at holiday as an interruption into my work week. One lesson that my journey has taught me for sure is that nothing will be handed to me.
It just really comes down to who wants it the most AND is willing to out work everyone else in order to get it. Trust me when in tell you my fellow thinkers, there are no days off when chasing YOUR DREAMS!
I've met plenty of extremely talented people in my day who unfortunately aren't willing to put in the work to become successful in life…and I define "successful in life" as simply living out YOUR DREAMS!
I often wonder if having a successful life is meant for everyone or just a chosen few…what do you think?
NOTE: I purposely didn't reveal what my five things are because the intent is for you to find your own things to do that will help you towards living out YOUR DREAMS!!!

Choose the Boxing Ring for That Next Bout With Your Boss
Knocking down boundaries will create an open working environment in any team.
Here to Create
Some people like to catch up with their boss over lunch. Others like to meet in the office. But me? I prefer the boxing ring.
And it's not just boxing, I meet people within adidas through body pump, tennis, running, pilates, I could go on…
Networking with colleagues away from an office environment is really important to me. I was attracted to adidas because of my passion for sports. But my vocation lies in IT. Being able to talk about the latter while doing the former makes for some really interesting conversations, and it's in this space that I think people really begin to connect.
If you don't mix sport with business already, here's why you should:
Knockout ideas
Some of my best ideas have come from the middle of the canvas. In the mentoring sessions I have with my boss, we use the small breaks to chat about the projects I've been working on. Through this, we've found so many synergies where we could actually expand and think outside the box. If we come up with anything productive, we set up a more serious meeting to make sure it all makes sense. And after that, it's full steam ahead.
This doesn't just happen with those I work directly with.
There are so many people doing cool things within the company. Sport is the ideal way to meet them and collaborate for greater results.
Lowering the guard
I love how people let their guard down when taking on a physical challenge. It helps create an open dialogue that isn't rooted in the minutiae of daily objectives. When you get to know someone away from their desk, they can really be themselves.
But sport in particular creates a collaborative environment which can't be replicated through other forms of social bonding. It enables people to relax while still being switched on. And it's in this space where the best kind of ideas thrive.
Heavyweight confidence
If you are already used to throwing punches at your work colleagues, it makes it a whole lot easier to throw yourself into new business initiatives.
Nobody, no matter how senior, is going to intimidate you after you've been six rounds with them.
So go ahead and schedule that bout with your boss. But just make sure you knock them out with your work, rather than in the ring.

If you are planning to setup a private membership website, probably, this is your major concern. Where should you host your videos securely? How do you ensure that you do not lose a lot of money? Have you found your answers yet?
My friend David Merrill asked me a few questions when he was setting up his WhirlWindSuccess.com and I noticed that not much comprehensive information is available for people starting out.
That's when I decided that I need to write about this.
Does Your Membership Website Offer Video Content?
Not every membership website is a video website. If you do not have video content to offer to your private members, probably this won't be of much help to you.
However, if you are planning to offer video content such as webinar recordings, special training videos created for members and interview recordings which only your private members can access, this is going to help you choose the best video hosting solution for you.
Why Self-Hosting Your Videos Isn't A Great Idea
You might have thought of the idea of hosting your videos on your server at some point. Well, that isn't a good idea and here is why:
Your server bandwidth may cause trouble.
Your video may not play properly for your visitors (slow, long buffering, may not load at all etc.)
Your web host may have storage limitations and your videos can pretty quickly consume it all.
You will need to have multiple versions of your videos because different browsers need different formats. That multiplies the need for storage on your server dramatically.
Too much work to make it work even if you are hosting public videos. If you plan to host some premium video content, you also need to concern yourself about piracy which adds to the pain even further.
Why go through all that pain if you can avoid it all with a little investment of money and hosting your videos with a hosting service that specializes in video hosting only? Wouldn't that allow you to focus on your business while all these headaches are out of your way?
I teach the same thing to serious entrepreneurs with a self-hosted WordPress blog. Why host, manage and struggle with mundane tasks of maintaining your WordPress when you can have a premium hosting service like Krishna World Wide Host take care of all that for you while you can focus your energy on your main business?
Special Video Hosting Need For Your Membership Site
When you are offering a premium service to your private members, you need to make sure that your private members have access to something that others don't, right?
If that isn't the case then people aren't going to buy into your membership program. And that is why when you are offering videos to your private members, you do not want to host with Youtube.
A lot of people who do Google Hangout On Air shows, record their shows live and when done, download the video and then delete it from Youtube to only offer to their private members. I am guessing, probably you would have done a few of those videos as well.
Now, you need a solution that allows you to host your videos securely and efficiently so that your members can watch them on your website only and nobody can steal your content. That's the basic need, isn't it?
In addition, there are some good-to-have features that you will take if they are available. For example, you will take advantage of the features if:
- Your video hosting provider allows you to put a call to action within your video itself.
- You can customize your video player to match your website's theme.
- You are able to password protect your videos so only people with the password can watch.
- Your video hosting provider gives you analytics around your videos.
…and so on.
Premium Video Hosting Service Providers
If you are setting up a membership website, you definitely do not want to use any free video hosting service such as Youtube or Vimeo's free version. Therefore, I am not even going to talk about those services in this post.
Here are some of the and reliable video hosting services you may want to consider for your membership websites:
1. Amazon S3
Amazon S3 is the most popular cloud based hosting solution where you can host your videos and then use S3 FlowShield for streaming. It's affordable, secure and fast.
Now, when you are new to video hosting (or not so excited about dealing with the nitty-gritty of technicalities), you will find the Amazon S3 setup pretty intimidating (when compared with some of the other solutions.)
2. Vimeo Pro
Vimeo is my favorite solution, even the free hosting space for hosting is much cleaner than Youtube where they will not insert their advertisements in your videos. No clutter, unlike Youtube!
However things get real simple, cleaner and more pleasant when you choose Vimeo Pro for your professional quality video hosting.
Vimeo Pro videos don't show up within the regular Vimeo site videos unless you configure them to be made available to the general public (and they are not commercial videos). With Vimeo Pro, you can host commercial content for up to 50GB of upload space, unlimited on-site plays, and up to 250k embed plays.
When it comes to protecting your videos, security is awesome where Vimeo Pro also lets you lock down your videos to play only on a domain you specify. For membership websites, isn't that what you want to happen?
You can buy additional space and plays as your needs grow. However, there are no limits on bandwidth usage. I think that Vimeo Pro is a perfect solution for a professional quality video hosting on membership websites.
3. MaxCDN
If you already have MaxCDN working as a content delivery network for your websites (like I do), then you can also use MaxCDN's push/VOD zones to distribute your videos.
For any website, you just need to setup a Pull Zone (for caching your scripts and images) and a VOD Zone for media streaming (both audio and video).
If you can't figure out how to use VOD Zones, they have a very helpful customer support. Call them and they will help you set it up.
Once you have the video's embed code ready, input that to the video player you are using to play the videos and you are ready to go.
Now, this experience is similar to using Amazon S3 so I wouldn't recommend it to the beginners. You are better off going with some ready out-of-the-box solutions, such as Vimeo Pro.
4. SproutVideo
SproutVideo is a premium class business video hosting solution. Along with hosting, they offer a number of features important to businesses.
Some of the features that SproutVideo offers include tight security options, SSL embeds, domain whitelisting, easily customizable video players, etc.
With SproutVideo, you also get video analytics which will show how many plays your videos get, where those plays are coming from, which of your videos are popular, etc.
SproutVideo also offers a free trial period. If you aren't sure if they are the right solution for you, try them without risk and you will know if you like their video hosting service.
5. iPlayerHD
iPlayerHD is a high-definition hosting service, great for small businesses with its incredibly flexible pricing structure.
They give you a free trial period as well.
iPlayerHP allows you to choose whether videos are embeddable or not (or choose which domains can embed them), and doesn't put any restriction on video length.
They have a feature-rich video hosting service with things like customizing your player, your branding options, putting a call to action etc. I like the way they have priced all these options making it very affordable for small businesses and scale up as business grows.
6. DataCast
DataCast is another great option in the video hosting arena with their live streaming and broadcasting features.
According to their website, DaCast is a full-featured streaming service that provides everything broadcasters need. After a quick setup, the platform can be easily used to do high quality streaming to monetize video without having to be locked into any commitments.
They have options for you to sign up on their monthly pricing plans or, if you prefer, sign up on their 'Pay As You Go' plan. I think that is a great flexibility because depending on your custom needs, you have the ability to choose what gives you more value for the money.
7. Vzaar
Vzaar is a great professional video hosting platform as well and quite popular in the video hosting marketplace as well.
Vzaar's initial trial offer is irresistible as well, offering a 1-month free trial with great features. Their pricing options are very flexible as well.
Vzaar includes a video player you can customize as you like with your design preferences. All videos are in high definition and you have full control of privacy options, domain controls etc.
You can choose if you want to set your videos to autoplay and loop among many other powerful features Vzaar offers.
With their ability to add call to action into your videos, integration tools for Ebay, embeddable video code (including HTTPS embed code), and integration with Google Analytics etc., it makes it a great choice for entrepreneurs as well.
8. Framesocket
Framesocket is a premium video hosting service with an awesome content delivery network designed specifically for developers.
What it means is, it is similar to Amazon S3 and it requires you to have some technical knowledge to deal with its APIs to make uploads etc. It has easily customizable video player, customizable channels, automated audience building tools, and mobile compatibility inbuilt as well.
While Framesocket gives unlimited flexibility, I would think that you may not feel comfortable working with their system unless you are a developer. Too many options means too many complexities to deal with for people looking for simplicity.
9. Oculu
Oculu is another quality video hosting service you may want to check out. They have most features you would want to use on your membership website anyway.
Oculu also offers a free trial period. That means you can experience their service for free and decide if they are a good fit for you. No risk!
Their video management controls are incredibly easy to use, with a dashboard for customizing each individual video.
They offer multiple options to embed your video on other websites including standard embed, overlay, and light box videos. Oculu also offers tools to manage, measure, and optimize your video campaigns like many other services.
10. Viddler
Viddler started out as a free Video hosting platform (like Youtube) in 2006, with focus on personal video blogging. But, the site changed its focus to become a premium video hosting platform for its paying customers.
Now, with their enterprise focus, they offer their solution depending on your needs. Videos hosted with Viddler are HD quality, embeddable, and have all an enterprise may need. You need to contact them and work with their support to get a custom solution for your needs.
I wouldn't go with them as a small business owner. But, they are worth a mention for being a popular name still due to their past.
When you are looking to setup a membership website where you want to stream videos, you need to have a premium video hosting setup for yourself. And speaking of that, if you are just getting started, Vimeo Pro is my favorite option to recommend.
However, if you need a few more features than Vimeo has and investing money in your infrastructure isn't a challenge, you can consider any of these above excellent service providers.

According to the Organic Cotton Market Report 2007-2008 released by Lubbock, Texas-based non-profit
organization Organic Exchange (OE), global retail sales of organic cotton apparel and home textile
products reached an estimated $3.2 billion in 2008, a 63-percent increase over the $1.9-billion
market in 2007. Organic production is based on a farming system that maintains and replenishes soil
fertility without using toxic and persistent pesticides and fertilizers or genetically modified
The top 10 organic cotton-using brands and retailers globally were: Bentonville, Ark.-based
Wal-Mart Stores Inc.; Belgium-based C&A; Beaverton, Ore.-based Nike Inc.; England-based
H&M; Spain-based Zara; New York City-based Anvil Knitwear Inc.; Switzerland-based Coop Group;
San Francisco-based Pottery Barn; Renton, Wash.-based Greensource Organic; and Germany-based Hess
Despite the current economic downturn, most brands and retailers selling organic cotton
products are continuing their sustainability measures, with plans to expand product lines 24
percent and 33 percent in 2009 and 2010, respectively, to create an estimated $4 billion market in
2009 and a $5.3 billion market in 2010.
"It is a sign of the times that despite ominous financial forecasts, brands and retailers
are standing fast to their commitment to making their product lines more sustainable by ever
increasing their use of organic cotton and other organic fibers such as wool, linen, and silk,"
said LaRhea Pepper, senior director, OE.
According to OE's Organic Cotton Farm and Fiber Report 2008, the amount of organic cotton
grown by farmers globally in 2007/08 increased by 152 percent. The organization also noted that
during 2008, certified organic cotton fiber suppliers increased by 95 percent – compared with
annual growth rates of 45 percent in 2006 and 53 percent in 2007.

Nick Jonas joined forces with DJ Mustard on their collaborative single "Anywhere," and it sounds like a hit. After announcing the release earlier this week, the pair rolled it out today (May 11). Blending elements of pop, hip-hop and electronica, it is a pensive mid-tempo tailored both for the clubs and more casual listening. On it, the 25-year-old reflects on his relationship with a lover. "What's better than the time being? Dark skies never scare me," he vows on the opening lines. Although they are traveling through a difficult phase, there is still hope for the future. "You could be anywhere right now. It ain't hard to see. I'll be your light, if you say the words for me," Nick croons on the sweet chorus.
"Anywhere" follows last year's Anne-Marie and Mike Posner-assisted "Remember I Told You" and his guitar-laced EDM earworm "Find You." Although the latter in particular received strong reviews upon its release, it just missed out on the Billboard Hot 100. However, the anthem amassed a respectable 66 million streams on Spotify and made an appearance on the Top 40 chart. Hopefully, Nick turns things around with his latest. Considering DJ Mustard's track record working on bops for the likes of Rihanna and Britney Spears(justice for "Mood Ring"), he is clearly capable of delivering a pop crossover hit. With the right push, this may be the latest. Give the track a listen below.

On October 31, 2018, the Supreme Court of Pakistan acquitted a Pakistani Christian woman, known as Asia Bibi, of the crime of blasphemy. Asia Bibi was convicted in 2010 and sentenced to death by hanging. Despite the Supreme Court judgment that led to her acquittal, Bibi remains imprisoned. While she may soon be allowed to go free from the jail cell that she has occupied for over eight years, she faces a new type of imprisonment; imprisonment in Pakistan. The government have effectively banned her from leaving.
The Supreme Court's decision to overturn Bibi's conviction has sparked violent protests led by the popular and influential Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) party. What awaits Bibi in Pakistan is almost certain death at the hands of angry mobs who wish to see her hang.
In an effort to quell these violent protests, the Pakistani government reached an agreement whereby it will impose a travel ban upon Bibi, effectively preventing her from leaving Pakistan and finding a safe haven. In exchange, the TLP will call for an end to the violent protests. As part of the agreement, the Pakistani government has agreed that it will not object to an appeal against Bibi's release.
So why do the protesters crave the blood of Asia Bibi?
Bibi, a Christian Pakistani woman, was convicted and sentenced to death by a Pakistani Court in November 2010. The facts of the case have always been subject to fierce debate. Yet, reported inconsistencies in witness testimonies and fragmented evidence did not prevent the court from securing Bibi's conviction and from passing the death sentence. In 2014, the Lahore High Court upheld her death sentence. Nonetheless, the execution was stayed in July 2015, when the Pakistani Supreme Court agreed to hear her appeal. It was listed to take place during October 2016. Unfortunately, the appeal had to be adjourned after one of the three judges due to hear the case, Justice Iqbal Hameed-ur-Rehman, recused himself quoting a conflict of interests. Two years later, on October 31, 2018, the Supreme Court handed down the judgement acquitting Bibi. The judgment indicated that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt.
The decision of Pakistan's highest court appears to matter little to the protesters. They appear to have little respect for law and legal procedure.
It is clear that forcing Bibi to stay in Pakistan amounts to the imposition of a death sentence, what changes is that the execution will most likely come at the hands of an angry mob, not under the control of the justice system. This prediction is not far removed from reality, protesters are already calling for Bibi to be hanged.
Pakistan has a very long history of mobs exercising their own justice for alleged blasphemy or other related offences. For example, the BBC reported that a Christian couple in Kot Radha Kishan were beaten to death and burnt by a mob for allegedly desecrating the Quran. Reportedly, their legs were broken prior to burning so that they would not be able to escape the fire. The BBC also reported on the case of Shahbaz Bhatti, a Christian Pakistan Minorities Minister, who was killed in an ambush for attempting to reform the blasphemy law.
The violence is not isolated to those who commit the spurious offence of blasphemy either. Take the example of Shahbaz Gormani for instance. A lawyer defending Junaid Hafeez, a university lecturer accused of blasphemy. His house was raided by gunmen on motorcycles who warned him to withdraw from the case. Shahbaz Gormani had taken over the case after Hafeez' first lawyer, Rashid Rehman, was killed.
Reports of similar cases are common. The Pakistani government must be fully aware of the high-level risks that face Bibi in Pakistan.
Fearing for the safety and life of his wife, Ashiq Masih, Bibi's husband, recently called upon President Donald Trump, U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May, and the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, in a plea for help. The Pakistani government must now decide whether they are able to guarantee peace and stability in Pakistan. If the Pakistani government is not able to make such guarantees, Bibi should be allowed to seek a safe haven elsewhere.

In 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that the average lifespan for a man in the U.S. was 75.1 years. For a woman, it's 80.5 years.
Why is there such a difference? For several years now, medical researchers have been trying to figure out what factors play a role in this disparity.
Recently, a researcher at the University of Virginia had a breakthrough.
Kenneth Walsh, Ph.D., is the director of The Walsh Lab at UVA, which is a part of their Division of Cardiovascular Medicine and the Hematovascular Biology Center.
His team's latest finding gives us a new perspective on lifespans: approximately 40% of men begin to lose some of their Y chromosomes in their cells as they age, which can cause scarring of heart tissue and lead to deadly heart attacks and failure.
"Particularly past age 60, men die more rapidly than women. It's as if they biologically age more quickly," Walsh explained in a statement.
"There are more than 160 million males in the United States alone. The years of life lost due to the survival disadvantage of maleness is staggering."
While researchers have known that this chromosomal loss can occur, this is the first connection that has been established between that loss and men's health.
It isn't hereditary, but it can be influenced by factors like smoking, according to Walsh.
Beyond the heart, the loss can also cause scarring in other body organs and tissues, which is called fibrosis.
The good news is that there is already a drug available that could treat this loss. It's called pirfenidone, and it's already been approved by the FDA to treat lung tissue scarring.
So, how do you know if you're a man who will be impacted? Unfortunately, right now, there is no set test. But Walsh said that this finding could change that in the future.
He's working with a researcher in Sweden, who has created a possible test that could detect Y chromosome loss. It's similar to a PCR test, which is used for detecting viruses like COVID-19.
"If interest in this continues and it's shown to have utility in terms of being prognostic for men's disease and can lead to personalized therapy, maybe this becomes a routine diagnostic test," Walsh said.

What if you could almost guarantee a first-page search results to a highly targeted audience? With Google+, you can!
I've collected hundreds of examples over the past two years of how Google+ content can show up in search, but the most powerful examples are always in personalized search. Since early 2012 Google has had as its default a highly-personalized version of search for users with a Google+ account. Among the many features of personalized search is the possibility for content to get significantly elevated rankings when it is shared or engaged with by people in your Google network (in your Google+ circles or Gmail contacts).
Lately, it seems to me like Google has enhanced the power of direct Google+ content in personalized search. I'd like to share with you a particularly interesting example:
This weekend my wife and I stayed in the lovely town of Marietta, Pennsylvania. I'm an architecture freak, so I couldn't wait to get out to take some photos of the beautifully-preserved 19th-century homes there.
That night I posted those photos on Google+ with the title "Marietta PA Homes." I wasn't intending to do a search test, but it occurred to me the next day that "marietta pa homes" would be a valuable keyword for someone doing local real estate in east-central Pennsylvania.
The Search Test
I did a search logged out of Google, and of course my post was nowhere to be seen. Too much competition.
But…I then logged in with Eric Enge's Google account (he allows me access because of work I do for him) and did the same search. Because Eric has me circled on Google+, he got the result you see above. I'm #2 for him for this highly competitive keyword.
Notice that not only did my Google+ content get very highly elevated in rankings for his search, but it also stands out with an author photo and byline. Even though Google removed all author photos from regular search in late June 2014, they still show author photos for Google+ posts from people and brands you have in your circles.
I call that a pretty amazing result for a commercially competitive keyword in a market where I have no previous claims and no particular influence!
If you were selling real estate in Marietta PA, wouldn't you want that kind of influence in search?
How Far of an Effect?
Over the rest of the weekend, I asked people on Google+ to search for "marietta pa homes" while logged in to their Google accounts. Dozens did so and reported their results to me.
In almost every case, if the person had me circled, they saw this same result: my Google+ post on their first page of results. In most of those cases, my result was outranking powerful sites like Zillow.com and Homes.com for that keyword.
Extended Reach. But wait, there's more! A few users who didn't have me circled told me that they still got an elevated result for my content because someone they did have circled had reshared my post. In that case, Google was picking up the keyword in my original post (which was embedded in the reshared post) and elevating it because of the social graph of the re-sharer.
Here's an example of that:
This is a search I did using Eric Enge's Google+ account this morning. William Rock had shared my post a day after I posted it. Because Eric has William circled, William's re-share of my post now also shows highly elevated (at #3 position) in Eric's personalized search results. If Eric did not have me in his circles, it is likely he would still have access to my content via William Rock's share in his search.
What About Google+ Brand Pages?
Choosing a Global Software Development Partner to Accelerate Your Digital Strategy
To be successful and outpace the competition, you need a software development partner that excels in exactly the type of digital projects you are now faced with accelerating, and in the most cost effective and optimized way possible.
Get the Guide
Good news! Since late June 2014, Google has been elevating branded "publishership" results for brands in a searcher's circles for the brand's relevant Google+ content. For example, I have Extra Space Storage circled on Google+. When I searched today for "RV storage tips" while logged in to my Google+ account, I got this result at #4:
Notice the Google Authorship-style image with the brand's logo and its brand name "byline." Eye-catching! And since I already had some familiarity with Extra Space Storage (enough for me to circle them on Google+), I'm more likely to click on that result.
How Can Businesses Use Google+ Personalized Search Power?
This Google+ personalized search power comes from being active on Google+ and finding ways to entice people in your market to follow you there. Once they've circled you, you can have this kind of influence on their search results when they search while logged in to their accounts.
In my testing I've noticed a few factors that make these types of results more likely to show up for searchers who have you in their Google networks:
- Keywords in the title. Google treats the first line of a Google+ post like the title tag on a regular web page. You are more likely to get shown as a search result if the searcher's query is in your first line.
- Relational relevancy. The closer Google sees your relationship with the person who posted or shared the content on Google+, the more likely it is to be elevated in your search. By "relevancy" I mean that the person appears higher in the "relevancy" sort of your Google+ circle members. We don't know all that goes into Google's determination of relevancy, but two things that seem to affect it are whether the person is in your Gmail contacts, and how much you engage with that person on Google+. The latter means that it is important that you incentivize engagement with your Google+ followers.
- Type of post. Posts are most likely to show in personalized search if they are not re-shares of other people's content. As shown above, for some reason reshares can rank for keywords in the shared Google+ content, but are less likely to rank for keywords in the re-sharer's own post. We've also seen that posts that have a featured link share (where the link appears as a thumbnail image and title below the post) are less likely to show up in search. If you want to rank for a share of a link, we recommend creating an image share for the Google+ post and putting the link you want to share in the text of your post rather than in the link share box.
Isn't This a Pretty Limited Search Effect?
An objection at this point may be that since this only works with personalized search, its effectiveness as a search strategy is limited.
This is true, but you should always keep in mind that the most effective search strategy isn't always just showing up for as many searchers as possible. It can be vastly more important to show up for targeted searchers; that is, for searchers who are more likely to want to see your content. Those who have at one time or another added you to a Google circle or to their Gmail contacts are certainly more likely to be in that group.
When those people are doing searches relevant to what your brand is about, wouldn't you want to be pushed up in their results for free?
How to Take Advantage of the Google+ Personalized Search Effect
Here are my top takeaways if you want to use this to your best advantage:
- Have properly set up Google+ personal profiles and brand pages. If you have a local business, make sure to create a local Google My Business Page for each location of your business. If you are an online or trans-local business, set up a non-local Google+ brand page and cross-link it (make your official site the primary URL for the page, and link back from the home page of that site to your Google+ page). If possible, also make use of your personal profile, and those of any employees or associates who are willing.
- Work to gain Google+ followers. How to do that is beyond the scope of this post, but a primary tactic should be to create great content directly on Google+, then share those posts elsewhere to get people to see the value of your G+ page and make them want to follow it. Include a call to action in your shares asking them to circle you on Google+. Be sure to feature a link to your Google+ page prominently on your site and in communications such as your brand newsletters. In my recent MozCon presentation I outlined a strategy for bringing in new followers from outside Google+ using expert Hangouts.
- Incentivize engagement. Work hard to get engagement with others on Google+. Regularly post really useful content, and optimize those posts to make them more likely to be shared on Google+ (use great images, bolded headlines, extended content). Ask for engagement: ask an open-ended question or encourage resharing.
Bonus: Hangout Show Alerts for Brands in Search!
Updating the post because my friend Ben Fisher just spotted another great Google+ feature for brands: Alerts for Live Hangout Shows in search. Read his post and analysis at that link.
If your brand is hosting a live Hangout On Air event Google may now show this type of alert in search when people search for your brand:
The alert appears up to three hours before the scheduled event time and remains until the end of the live event. Clicking anywhere on it takes you to the event page.

Did you know that your pup has superpowers? In fact, your pup has at least six superpowers that you don't have. It would be a dream to have any of these superpowers that your pup does.
Your pup's sense of smell is incredible. It's actually unbelievable. Try to hide your dog's treat, a small one even, somewhere where you think the pup won't find it. Get your pup excited for a treat and ask her to go get it. Give it two minutes, and your pup will be eating away. It's incredible how amazing your dog's sense of smell is. Coinciding with the sense of smell is your dog's ability to SEE its own farts. Ever notice your dog fart, and then she immediately turns her head? You think, oh, she noticed her fart. Well, she actually SAW her fart. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty okay with not being able to see my farts.
Your pup can sense two different kinds of harm: natural disasters and illness. It's well documented that dogs are used in "smelling" cancer. This doesn't just apply to cancer. Ever wonder why your pup gets up all close to you and the next day you're sick? Well, it's because your dog can actually sense all illness in you. It's an evolution that occurred only in man's best friend, and it makes our pups invaluable to us and our health. Similarly, our dogs can sense natural disasters. Again, you can easily YouTube a pup reacting to an earthquake or a major storm before it happens. The same sensory system that senses illness senses natural disasters, which, similarly, helps humans in the long term. It's nice to have your best friend available to you to help you navigate the more challenging things in life.
Internal Map
Your dog has a built-in map. It's like a GPS that doesn't need a satellite. Dozens of stories exist where dogs were lost for days, weeks, and sometimes months, only to find their way home. Your little pup triangulates your home position as soon as it recognizes your home as its home. This is a great tool in case your pup gets lost. We don't really understand the mechanics behind it, but your dog pays attention to all landmarks, smells, and other geolocating tools to figure out where you live and always find her way home. You can even test this if YOU'RE lost. Let your pup off leash and ask her if she wants to go home and start following. Your pup is ready to get home at all times, to the warmth and comfort of its bed. It's an incredible superpower that we only wished we had!

Girgaon: People in Girgaon usually burst out from every gully, corner of this neighborhood. To see few or no people, that too keeping 6 ft distance and eerie silence, was a first for us. Scary for some, shocking for many, now the Girgaonkars want the lockdown to get over.
Most places as you can guage from the layout, are cheek by jowl. Many living in cramped rooms, staying put 24×7, can give rise to new frictions and dynamics within the families and for society as a whole.

Vancouver 2010: The Most Enviromentally Friendly Olympics Yet?

Environmental friendliness has been a major concept at recent Olympic Games. Both Salt Lake City, in 2002, and Torino, in 2006, claimed that their events were carbon neutral. Beijing was, temporarily at least, able to clean up its almost unbreathable air in 2008. Tokyo used its bid for the 2016 Summer Games to offer a green Games that utilized solar power, pollution controls and a minimal amount of new construction. They, of course, lost out to Rio de Janeiro.London, meanwhile, promises to eclipse all other previous Olympic eco-efforts in 2012 with construction projects using sustainable timber, nature preserves near the Olympic Village and the reuse of 80 percent of the materials from demolished buildings. Take into account plans for renewable energy (which will supposedly provide 20 percent of the power for the Olympic Village and Olympic Park) and practices aimed at reducing carbon emissions by 50 percent and it is hard to argue with the self-awarded "greenest ever" label.But London's hosting duties are still more than two years away. Critics have already been dissecting the ambitious promises for several years.Vancouver experienced similar controversy (as has every city to host the Olympics in recent memory) but has pushed through some impressively green measures as it prepares for the opening ceremony in February. Some environmentalists laud Vancouver's efforts while others claim that they are merely cosmetic and more should have been done. Sustainable buildings Despite scandals and budget troubles, Vancouver's new structures are ready for the Games. The Olympic Village in the city's False Creek area will be seeking LEED gold certification (second highest level of certification) for all of its buildings, except a community center, which will qualify for the highest platinum rating. The village is the first of a three-phase plan to create a new, sustainable neighborhood in an area that was formerly an industrial zone.The village's buildings will be fitted with solar panels and "green-roofs" that will use a rainwater collection system to become self-sustaining. In-slab hydronic heating systems have been installed in the building's floors. This system relies on high-efficiency boilers to heat water, which is then circulated under the floor to create a warming effect. Energy efficiency is part of the attraction of this type of heating, but it carries other benefits as well. Since fans are not used to blow warmed air, there are fewer particles (such as dust) circulating through the rooms.Half of the athletes will stay in a second village in the Whistler area. The Whistler Olympic Village will have many of the same features as its False Creek peer. Both villages will be converted into housing complexes once the Games are complete. According to the Vancouver Olympic Committee (VANOC), all Olympic venues have undergone a sustainability assessment . Many newly constructed buildings used locally sourced wood from trees that were destroyed by storms. The Richmond Oval, where the speed skating competitions will take place, was constructed using wood from trees that had been destroyed by a beetle infestation . Green wheels The hydrogen-powered Chevy Equinox will be the official automobile of Vancouver 2010. With the use of 20 hydrogen-powered buses as part of the Olympic transportation scheme (see below), hydrogen will sit squarely in the limelight during the Games. Flex-fuel vehicles, hybrids and traditional, fuel efficient cars will be part of the official fleet, which will number more than 4,500. Two Chevy Volts are also slated to be part of the show. Of course, this is a huge promotional opportunity for Chevrolet, but the choice of such an aggressively green car by VANOC fits with Vancouver's desired green image and British Columbia's planned development of a better infrastructure for hydrogen power. Environmental give and take The expansion of the so-called Sea-to-Sky Highway that connects Vancouver with Whistler, where many of the Olympic alpine events will be held, caused concern among some environmentalists. The project threatened to alter fragile wetland and forest eco-systems along the route. Though the construction work was arguably destructive, it was a necessary upgrade, according to VANOC. They note that the newly revamped road will be used by a fleet of 20 hydrogen-powered buses (worth $89 million in total) and will be part of Vancouver's new hydrogen infrastructure.Another controversy arose when critics took a closer look at the Olympic's carbon offset program . Vancouver has made good on its promise to offset the carbon that it produced in preparing for the Games (110,000 tons). However, over half of the total carbon count attributed to the Olympics will come from the hundreds of thousands of people flying from all over the world to Vancouver. VANOC will not account for these emissions with its investments, but will rely on visitors and competing countries to voluntarily invest in a fund . The fund is overseen by Offseters.ca. If enough people do not volunteer (they need to account for at least 190,00 tons), Vancouver's goal of offsetting 300,000 tons of carbon may be in jeopardy. The final result of the carbon neutral efforts will probably not be known until after the Games are completed and all the carbon credits have been counted. But it's already a green city… Vancouver has a lot in common with Portland, Ore. Both were well-planned and are known for their user-friendliness. Vancouver's central area is compact and pedestrian-friendly. The public transportation system makes it easy to get around the city without having to rely on a car, and the surrounding natural areas have not been completely eaten away by urban sprawl.The proof of Vancouver's commitment to the environment may lie in the small steps that are being taken to lessen the impact of the Games. Simple measures like encouraging public transit use by offering free unlimited rides to Olympic ticket holders on the day of their event may go un-noticed by environmentalists impressed with hydrogen and LEED certification. But these "little things" show that it is not all about PR. Maybe there is some substance to VANOC's green Olympic claims after all.

Sigh of Relief for Mets Fans – Hanley Ramirez Off the Table
The Boston Red Sox have reunited with Hanley Ramirez, signing the free agent to a 4-year, $88M contract.
No word on what the Mets offered Han-Ram prior to his decision to sign with the Bosox.
What do you mean, the Mets didn't make any offer? Aren't they all gung-ho for a playoff push in 2015? Don't they have a big hole at shortstop? Isn't their most glaring need offense? And wouldn't Hanley Ramirez be a great fit based on all those factors?
Ah, but if we read the propaganda put forth in the Mets fan blogosphere, we'd believe that Hanley Ramirez would have been a TERRIBLE signing. He's lazy, for one. And injury-prone, for another. And too old. And not a really good shortstop any more — a bad one, in fact. And he's too expensive (remind me why a fan cares about a what a team spends on a player?). And besides all that, the Mets have Wilmer Flores, who, if you listen to one (or several) of those fan blogs, projects to be better than Hanley Ramirez (and every other shortstop on the market) next year.
So, Mets fans should be thrilled that Hanley Ramirez signed with the Red Sox, because now they don't have to stress about the possibility of a former All-Star, former Rookie of the Year, former batting champion, annual .800+ OPS slugger causing havoc in the Flushing clubhouse and preventing Wilmer Flores from batting .260 in 2015. Instead, Han-Ram will take his iron glove to Boston, where he's likely to be moved to third base or left field, and prevent the Red Sox from winning. If by chance the Red Sox are crazy enough to leave Ramirez at the shortstop position, there might be a chance that slick-fielding Xander Bogaerts could be made available on the trade market. But that's of no consequence to Mets fans, because, again, if you're keeping up in the blogosphere, Wilmer Flores projects to be just as good, if not better, than Bogaerts in 2015. Of course he will be — among other reasons, he'll be working with Mike Barwis again, while Bogaerts will not.
One less thing to worry about — there will be no Hanley Ramirez drama for Mets fans to stress about in 2015. Whew! Any comment? Post it below.

Labrador with a human face, Boris Johnson has rejected calls for corruption charges to be bought against him.
'Gosh, crikey, phwoar, what will David say?' said the outspoken Blonde when faced with questions regarding the choice of breakfast cereal in his house.
He normally has Ready Brek, but has recently been seen eating Corn Flakes, and enemies have been quick to ask if he has been handed money by Kellogs to eat their brand.
A spokesman from Kellog's said 'This is ridiculous. If we needed to pay celebrity we would chose bigger names than Boris Johnson. It is Wimbledon, Ryan Giggs is looking for a new gig, we could have given money to any number of sports stars and had a far better return on our investment'. David Cameron was heard to say 'Boris? Boris who? Nick, have you got my tea yet? Milk and two sugars'.

For the last few days, all I've been hearing about is how afraid we should all be. How very afraid. Our pitching is billed, as usual, as questionable. The Red Sox are billed, as usual, as the indestructible wild card.
Talk is cheap. This year's Yankees aren't cutting corners to sneak wins in. They're where they are not because of any one player, but because they adapt their game based on the challenges they face. Our team demonstrated that tonight when they left Boston reeling with an unrelenting attack that barely gave their division rivals a chance to come up for air.
It took me about 4 innings to realize what was going on with the pitching performances. Joba Chamberlain and his unprecedented unpredictability were zipping through innings with such economic deftness that I was starting to think he either had a date waiting for him, or just really needed to use the bathroom. Conversely, Jon Lester was uncharacteristically awkward, uncomfortable, and stilted. I think it's pretty obvious what happened here...
Other game notes:
- Michael Kay waited a whole 3 innings before he broke out the "perfect game" jinx. My Red Sox buddy noted this and texted me: "I almost feel bad for Yankee fans. Girardi should just pull him now."
- Though I wasn't listening to the 880 broadcast, I can only imagine the rampant application of "You know, you just can't figure baseball" observations from Sterling, once Lester was literally knocked out of the game from a screaming liner off the bat of Melky Cabrera, into the knee cap of RSN's noble ace. But it was the reaction of posters on the game thread that really struck me: immediate, unqualified concern for Lester spilled out in droves. Indeed, we truly have the best fans in baseball.
- Pitching lines for the night:
Joba--6 IP, 5H, 3R, 5K, 1BB
Lester--2.1 IP, 8H, 5R, 3K, 3BB
If I hadn't seen the game and read that in the next day's paper, I'd honestly think the writer accidentally flipped the names.
Bullpen lines for the night:
Yanks--2.3 IP, 3H, 2R, 3K, 2BB
Sox--5.2 IP, 6H, 4R, 5K, 6BB
You gotta give our pen credit; they've been the subject of an unfaltering dismissal of their legitimacy for what seems like forever. And like ARod's non-clutch reputation, this preconceived notion becomes less and less substantiated with every game.
- Jonathan Albaladejo (still can't spell that right in one try) gave the Sox their only respite of the night, giving up 2 runs in about 45 seconds of work. Alfredo Aceves, Damaso Marte, Phil Hughes, and Phil Coke were all remarkably effective out of the pen. I guess old habits die hard. Even with Joba going 6, everyone under the kitchen sink was brought in to fill in the remaining innings. I'm not complaining--I think Girardi handled it perfectly. (Did I just actually say that?)
- Boston's bullpen is like a freaking clown car at a circus. I really thought I had seen all of em during the 15-inning marathon last month. But tonight, some guy named Hunter Jones relieves Lester, then Michael Bowden after that. My sister texts me, "Who ARE these pitchers? Did they Jorge Bogey? That sounds like a name dad would make up. Like 'Yeah Frank Staboonch is coming in next.'" (Jorge Bogey=Michael Bowden)
- Stat of the night: Yankee batters saw 213 PITCHES. This is one of my proudest moments of the season. Lester threw 78 pitches in less than 3 innings. Joba threw 86 in 6 innings. Unbelievable.
- 2nd best stat of the night: 7 STOLEN BASES. In 7 tries, off Jason Varitek. The most SBs in a game since they stole 8 in 1996. (At what point is "stolen base" no longer an automatic cue to cut to Dave Roberts reels?) They never stopped running, and the Sox were constantly left scrambling on defense.
- The Sox offense was spotty, at best. Their only highlights were a solo shot from Victor Martinez (to "break up" Joba's perfecto, just like Kay wanted) and a 2-run bomb from David Ortiz (who's the king of meaningless homeruns now, RSN?)
- No element of their game was underplayed. The pitching was tremendous, the running game was extraordinary, defense tight as always, and offense was overwhelming. 14 hits, only 1 of which was a long ball (the record-breaking 127th ding of the year was off the bat of Alex Rodriguez, who went 3-for-3 with 4 RBIs). The Yankees manufactured runs all. game. It was like they never stopped to look at the score, just put their heads down, hit, got on base, and kept going. The Sox never knew what hit 'em.
No one who watched that game can say that this meant nothing. I've been seeing them play all season, and this showing even took me by surprise. They chased one of the best pitchers in the league, they asphyxiated one of the best line-ups in the league. They exploited the Sox's weaknesses, and maybe tomorrow, people will be less quick to lionize Boston, and more inclined to recognize how strikingly stalwart the 2009 Yankees really are.
