For Immediate Release
Advocates Urge FTC to Stop Deceptive Marketing of "Educational" Baby Apps
Boston -- August 7 -- Citing a lack of evidence that apps for tablets and cell phones are educational for babies, Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood (CCFC) has filed complaints with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) against Fisher-Price and Open Solutions. The complaints charge that both companies have falsely marketed their popular apps for babies as educational. CCFC's complaints are part of its ongoing efforts to hold the so-called "genius baby" industry accountable. CCFC's campaign led the Walt Disney Company to offer an unprecedented refund on its Baby Einstein DVDs, and to a landmark FTC judgment against the Your Baby Can, LLC, producers of a video series that purported to teach babies to read.
"Fisher-Price and Open Solutions exploit parents' natural tendency to want what's best for their babies," said CCFC's Director Dr. Susan Linn. "Their false and deceptive marketing creates the impression that their apps effectively educate infants and toddlers, when time with tablets and smart phones is really the last thing very young children need for optimal learning and development."
Both Fisher-Price and Open Solutions claim that their mobile apps will "teach" babies skills and information—including words and numbers—before they are even old enough to take their first steps. But neither company offers any evidence to back up their claims. To date, not a single credible scientific study has shown that babies can acquire language or math skills from interacting with screens. In addition screen time may be harmful for babies. Research links infant screen time to sleep disturbances and delayed language acquisition, as well as problems in later childhood, such as poor school performance and childhood obesity. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends discouraging screen time for children under two.
"These companies are violating federal laws that protect consumers by making totally unsupported and unsubstantiated claims about the educational value of their products," said Laura Moy of the Institute for Public Representation at Georgetown Law, which is representing CCFC in its complaints. "And not only are they breaking the law, they are unfairly taking advantage of well-meaning parents who want nothing more than to help their babies get ahead of the curve. The Commission should stop these practices and make crystal clear that if companies want to market apps as educational for babies, they must have evidence to back up their claims."
CCFC's complaints charge that Fisher-Price's makes numerous false and unsubstantiated educational claims about its popular Laugh & Learn apps, which were downloaded nearly 3 million times in 2012. For example, Fisher-Price claims that its Laugh & Learn apps will teach babies language and number skills. Yet Fisher-Price offers no evidence to support this claim and research has consistently demonstrated that screen media is not an effective means of educating babies. The claims made by Open Solutions—that its apps will teach babies multiple skills, including reading and spelling—are also not supported by research.
"Given that the baby app market is rapidly expanding, it is important that the FTC act quickly to prevent Fisher-Price, Open Solutions, and the entire baby app industry from using false marketing to hook a generation of babies on unnecessary, and potentially harmful, screen time," added Dr. Linn.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - California coastal regulators and environmentalists sued the U.S. Navy on Thursday saying that it has planned training exercises that could endanger whales.
In separate lawsuits by the California Coastal Commission and a coalition led by the Natural Resources Defense Council, the Navy was accused of refusing to comply with regulations aimed at protecting marine life from sonar pulses used to detect underwater objects.
They said the Navy has 14 training exercises planned off the coast of southern California in areas that are rich in sea life, including several species of whales.
Coastal Commission member Sara Wan told reporters there is growing scientific evidence linking sonar sound waves to whale strandings and deaths.
"In a whole variety of ways, it can actually cause them to die, and we have a lot of evidence of that in strandings," she said in a news conference on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
The Natural Resources Defense Council, or NRDC, says that the problem is that the military's underwater sonar is so loud, the equivalent of 215 decibels or the noise produced by a fighter jet at takeoff. Whales who stranded themselves after sonar exercises have been found to have internal bleeding around their brains and ears.
The NRDC says that sonar use has been associated with mass strandings.
The coastal commission has said the Navy must take steps to look for whales, avoid using sonar when they are spotted nearby and use only low power sonar tests during times of low visibility when whales may be nearby but unseen.
The Navy has said the California agency did not have authority to impose the safeguards and that it already has measures to protect sea mammals from sonar.
The Pentagon in January exempted the Navy for two years from a law protecting marine mammals so that it could continue training exercises.
The NRDC said it has filed four other lawsuits against Navy sonar training exercises and has won three.
One is still pending and on Tuesday the Navy asserted the "state secrets" privilege in that case, saying disclosure of information requested by the plaintiffs about times and location of sonar training exercises could threaten national security.

So RVC Bard posts, Thomas Garvey responds, J Holtham posts an angry denunciation of Thomas Garvey, and Guy Yedwab responds, then Isaac scolds Guy for talking to Garvey, and Guy explains what he was trying to do. There may be pieces of this conversation I am missing; if so I apologize. I'd like to look at the process of dialogue itself for just a second.
Guy writes:
But suppose a troll lands a bomb at you and you decide to argue back -- after all, you can simply ignore them -- what is the point in arguing? What was the point of that furious post?Like my blogging friend Guy, I think debate has become too rancorous, too bi-partisan, too simplistic, too high volume. Like him, that is why I appreciate No-Drama-Obama. But at the same time, in this case and others like it, I think the overall blogging system worked. Here's why.
1. You want to convince Garvey to change his mind
2. You want to convince your blog-roll readers that Garvey is wrong
3. You want to have some sort of public catharsis by screaming at a wall
Isaac things I'm advocating option number one, but I'm not. I agree that it's pointless. But if your goal is number 2, I think you're much better served by a sharply written post that focuses the anger into tearing your opponent's argument apart, rather than just spewing anger. The spewing anger route might get an "amen" from your own choir, but like it or not there are going to be people on the fence who'll miss what you have to say because they're put off by the anger.
If you're going for option 3, then I probably have already spent too much time talking about the post and I'm tired.
This isn't just about 99 Seats. This is about how we debate major issues in this country. [ital mine]
At the center of this debate is J-99 Holtham's angry drubbing of Garvey, a rant of admirable intensity and Mametian vocabulary. Does this rant further the discussion of race in any way? Wouldn't we be better off trying to have a calm, rational discussion? If 99, RVC Bard and Garvey were the only ones talking, then I'd say there wasn't much point. But what makes the blogsphere a powerful instrument for social change is the wisdom of crowds.
What 99's explosion said to me, more than anything, was: "Ouch! I'm bleeding over here, and the pain is really, really bad. Did you know that, all you blog readers?" The other thing it said was: "You crossed a boundary, and I need to bare my teeth and let you know you can't get away with it." Those are really good messages. The first reminds us that we are talking about really deep, painful issues, not just intellectual concepts, and that there are human lives involved. The second reminds us that we can't expect the people who are in pain to just grin and bear it while we, who haven't experienced what they have, tromp all over their broken limbs-- sometimes, they will bite back.
But what happens next is what works in the blogosphere: the major players stake out their position in dramatic ways, perhaps even extreme ways, and then others come in and sort things out. They clean up the blood, examine the records, and try to understand what caused all the violence and bloodshed. Without the extreme expressions, there is no reason to do the work of moderation. It is a process, one that relies on everyone to participate and do their part. I don't happen to think that marginalizing Thomas Garvey is a particularly good idea, but I also don't happen to think that politeness is always a virtue. We in the theatrosphere have a tendency to lapse into a politeness sometimes that belies the severity of the situations we are discussing. I'm not encouraging gang warfare, what I am encouraging is the dialectic process of thesis, antithesis, and synthesis. We can't just jump to synthesis and skip the clash that makes it viable.

UBS news
UBS reports second quarter net profit of CHF 1,331 million
UBS reports net profit after tax in second quarter 2002 of CHF 1,331 million, down 4% from the second quarter a year earlier and 2% lower than in the first quarter. Pre-goodwill, profit was 5% less than second quarter 2001, but up 4% from the first quarter's pre-goodwill result (adjusted for the disposal of Hyposwiss). Profitability was sustained through strict management of costs, offsetting the market-related decline in revenues. Credit loss expense fell, reflecting the Group's cautious attitude towards risk concentrations.
UBS achieved second quarter 2002 net profit after tax of CHF 1,331 million, down 4% from the second quarter a year earlier and 2% lower than in the first quarter of 2002. Pre-goodwill, profit was CHF 1,633 million, 5% less than the second quarter 2001, but up 4% from first quarter 2002 (adjusted for the disposal of Hyposwiss) -- the third consecutive quarterly increase.
During the quarter, extensive uncertainty about global economic prospects continued to challenge the financial industry. In particular, investor confidence was undermined by a succession of negative events, leading to considerable corrections in equity markets.
"Against this difficult background, profitability in our key businesses has proved resilient. We have been able to limit negative credit experience and offset the pressure on revenues with strict cost management," said Peter Wuffli, President of the Group Executive Board.
Revenues from the private client businesses held up particularly well. Nevertheless, total operating income, at CHF 9,008 million, fell 9% from a year earlier and was 6% lower than in the first quarter of this year, reflecting generally subdued levels of corporate activity and depressed investor sentiment as well as further writedowns on UBS Capital's private equity investments. UBS Capital continued to record disappointing losses through deteriorating valuations and a shortage of viable exit opportunities.
Cost discipline in all UBS businesses helped keep expenses down. Total operating expenses in second quarter dropped 9% from the same period in 2001 and personnel expenses fell 10% compared to both second quarter 2001 and first quarter 2002.
UBS's cautious attitude towards risk has helped it avoid exposure from the worst of the financial market's recent defaults. Credit losses declined to CHF 37 million in the second quarter compared to CHF 76 million for the same period in 2001, despite a generally deteriorating credit environment. Levels of impaired loans fell to CHF 12.6 billion, down 9% from the first quarter.
The current environment highlights the importance of a solid and stable financial structure. UBS's capital base and cash generation remain strong, with a BIS Tier 1 ratio of 11.8% among the highest in the industry. This financial strength allowed continued share repurchases (CHF 2.3 billion in the second quarter), supporting the level of earnings per share.
Net new money in the private clients businesses was CHF 4.9 billion in second quarter 2002. Private Banking showed a strong net inflow of CHF 3.5 billion despite a CHF 3.8 billion net outflow due to the Italian tax amnesty. As in the first quarter, UBS managed to retain almost half of the flowback to Italy within its domestic private banking operations. In an extremely difficult environment in the US private client market, UBS PaineWebber continued to attract new money with a net inflow of CHF 1.4 billion.
UBS's two major strategic initiatives continue to enjoy success. The European wealth management initiative, experiencing its highest revenues since its inception, continues to expand its franchise. UBS Warburg further improved its share of the US investment banking market to 3.7% from 3.4% a year ago.
Performance against Group financial targets:
Pre-goodwill and adjusted for the one-off gain from the sale of Hyposwiss in first quarter 2002:
Annualized return on equity for the first half 2002 was 15.6%, within the target range of 15-20%, but down from 16.8% a year ago.
Basic earnings per share in second quarter 2002 were CHF 1.33, a decline of only 3% from the same quarter last year and 7% higher than the average in 2001.
The cost/income ratio declined to 77.0% from 77.2% in the second quarter last year, evidence of continued cost control across all businesses. The cost/income ratio was also at the lowest level this quarter since the first quarter of 2001.
Outlook 2002
UBS financial results have remained strong, with its diverse range of businesses, its avoidance of risk concentration and its cost elasticity being the critical factors driving performance.
Prospects for a meaningful global economic recovery in the latter part of the year have receded. The equity market turbulence of recent weeks may also result in further damage to investor confidence. Therefore, UBS does not expect full-year results in 2002 to reach those of 2001.
Results of the business groups
(adjusted for significant financial events 1)
UBS Switzerland
The Private and Corporate Clients business unit achieved another excellent result in the second quarter. Pre-tax profit was CHF 690 million, down 2% from the record result in first quarter 2002. Continued strict cost control offset the impact of the adverse market environment on revenues. Lower interest and fee income prompted second quarter operating income to fall to CHF 1,614 million, down 3% from the first quarter.
Credit loss expense fell 11% from the first quarter, underlining a further improvement in the quality of the Swiss loan portfolio while operating expenses and headcount fell to all-time lows. The cost/income ratio remained unchanged at 55%.
Private Banking's pre-tax profit was CHF 574 million, down 4% from the first quarter of this year. Operating income, at CHF 1,562 million, fell 2% from the first quarter on lower asset-based revenues, which also fell 2%. Asset-based revenues represented 71% of total income in the second quarter. The gross margin increased slightly to 94 basis points.
Net new money in the quarter totalled CHF 3.5 billion, an increase of CHF 0.9 billion from the first quarter -- an encouraging result considering the difficult market environment and outflows due to the Italian tax amnesty. Total amnesty-related flowback to Italy was CHF 6.8 billion in the second quarter, although UBS was again able to retain almost half of these funds (CHF 3.0 billion) within its Italian domestic private banking operations. The European wealth management initiative continues to grow and expand. Income rose 14% to CHF 49 million from the first quarter, while net new money was CHF 1.8 billion, up by CHF 0.5 billion.
From the third quarter of this year, the UBS Switzerland Business Group will, as previously announced, become UBS Wealth Management & Business Banking. The new name has been effective since 1 July. UBS will continue to show the Business Group's private banking activities separately from its retail and corporate banking businesses. In addition, separate revenue data and key performance indicators will be disclosed for the International Clients and Swiss Clients segments of the Private Banking business.
UBS Global Asset Management
UBS Global Asset Management reported pre-tax profit of CHF 59 million in second quarter 2002. The drop of 21% from the previous quarter was primarily due to the drop in market values of invested assets, resulting in lower management fees and lower performance fees. A continued sharp focus on managing costs prompted second quarter operating expenses to fall to CHF 432 million, down 10% from the first quarter.
Because of currency movements and significant financial market declines, total invested assets decreased to CHF 612 billion at end-June 2002 from CHF 677 billion at end-March. The institutional business recorded positive net new money inflows of CHF 1.8 billion, with strong inflows in equity mandates, particularly in Asia Pacific and the Americas. The Wholesale Intermediary business (previously classified as Mutual Funds) saw net outflows of CHF 4.9 billion this quarter because of outflows from money market funds, which were partially offset by inflows in higher margin equity and alternative GAM funds.
Despite an extremely difficult equity market environment in the second quarter, UBS Global Asset Management strengthened its relative investment performance.
UBS Warburg
UBS Warburg's Corporate and Institutional Clients business unit recorded a solid result in second quarter 2002, with net profit before tax of CHF 938 million, 8% lower than the same period last year and 2% lower than first quarter 2002. Operating income was CHF 3,778 million in the second quarter, dropping 11% from second quarter 2001 and 9% from first quarter 2002. A resilient performance in the fixed income and foreign exchange business partially offset the impact of lower levels of corporate activity and the difficult conditions in equity markets.
Personnel expenses fell 10% compared to the second quarter of last year and were down 15% from the first quarter of this year. This was mainly due to lower revenues, which prompted a corresponding fall in accruals made for performance-related compensation. General and administrative expenses declined 17% from the same period last year, reflecting the success of cost management initiatives.
UBS Warburg grew its US investment banking market share to 3.7% at end-June from the 3.4% recorded for 2001. Strong momentum in the key US market, disciplined risk management and overall business strength helped UBS Warburg to win one of the industry's leading accolades -- "Best Investment Bank" in the Euromoney Awards for Excellence.
UBS Capital recorded a pre-tax loss of CHF 519 million in second quarter, CHF 167 million more than the second quarter a year ago. The widened loss reflects tough economic conditions for companies in the portfolio and the restrictive environment for divestments. Writedowns totalled CHF 513 million and were made across the portfolio. UBS Capital will continue to focus on managing down the portfolio, maximizing returns, and capitalizing on exit opportunities where they exist.
UBS PaineWebber
UBS PaineWebber recorded a pre-tax loss of CHF 137 million during the second quarter. Before acquisition costs (goodwill, net funding costs and retention payments), the Business Group reported a pre-tax profit of CHF 165 million. Since UBS PaineWebber's transactions are primarily denominated in US dollars, comparison of second quarter 2002 results to prior periods is affected by the decline of the US dollar against the Swiss franc. In dollar terms, performance before tax and acquisition costs increased 10% from first quarter 2002.
Operating income was CHF 1,426 million, down 11% from the first quarter. Expressed in US dollars, the decline was 3%.
In response to the challenging market environment, UBS PaineWebber continued to cut costs. Operating expenses declined 12% from the first quarter to CHF 1,563 million. Expressed in US dollars, operating expenses were down 4% from first quarter 2002, personnel expenses fell 3% and non-personnel expenses were down 5%. The decline in personnel expenses is principally driven by falling revenue-based compensation and the reduction in the number of non-financial advisor personnel. The cost/income ratio before acquisition costs fell again, to 89% in second quarter 2002 from 90% in the first quarter.
Invested assets totaled CHF 646 billion at the end of the quarter, a decline of 17% compared to first quarter 2002 and a decline of 6% if the impact of the falling dollar is excluded. Net new money declined to CHF 1.4 billion in second quarter from CHF 7.4 billion in the first quarter. While the decrease reflects both the timing of US client tax payments and the very difficult market situation in the US, UBS PaineWebber achieved a positive net inflow for the seventh consecutive quarter since becoming part of UBS, demonstrating the trust investors place in quality advice.
In second quarter 2002 and 2001, there were no significant financial events. In first quarter 2002, UBS realized a pre-tax gain of CHF 155 million from the sale of Hyposwiss. This was recorded as a significant financial event, affecting the first quarter 2002 results of UBS Switzerland's Private Banking business unit.
(see UBS Second Quarter 2002 Report for the full details of the effect of significant financial events in 2002 and 2001.)

Once you live here, you won't want to leave!
The Borough is in Northampton County about 5 miles north of the City of Easton. It is located on the west bank of the Bushkill Creek. The origin of Tatamy can be traced back to the early 1800's and a Delaware indian Chief named Moses Tunda Tatamy. Chief Tatamy acted as an interpreter for white settlers that where doing business with the Delaware Indians of New Jersey and also helped to control these Indians. Moses Tatamy was a private landowner, interpreter, Presbyterian convert, and a help to missionaries, Quakers and colonial officials of Pennsylvania. For his help the Penn family gave Tatamy a 300 acre grant of land which was located on the west side of the west branch of Bushkill Creek from the present boundry of Tatamy northward to the northern limits of Stockertown. The land grant was called "Tatamy's Land".

We think we're always the best choice, with our expert staff and unmatched service. Plus, our free delivery to the Twin Cities metro, free installation of freestanding appliances and free recycling all included with a $499 purchase, we only seem expensive.
Warners' Stellian built itself on one-sie, two-sie appliance replacement orders because we offer the best bottom line price. Just because we carry specialty brands doesn't mean you can't afford us.
::end sales pitch::
By popular demand, here's a great example of an insane deal created to satiate the stimulus demand.

Ecstasy is a man-made psychedelic drug with hallucinogenic properties. Ecstasy's active ingredient, MDMA (Methylenedioxymethamphetamine), acts as a psychoactive stimulant, causing hyperawareness of the senses, heightened empathy, emotional openness and intense euphoria.
Fueled by a release of the neurotransmitters serotonin and norepinephrine, ecstasy users experience a rush of energy and happiness, leading to feelings of hyperactivity and emotional connectedness.
However, due to the rapid release of serotonin, ecstasy users experience the depletion of this vital neurotransmitter in the days following an ecstasy trip, leading to depression, anxiety and lethargy. One of the most serious risks of ecstasy addiction is dehydration, leading to intense fevers, overheating and possibly death.
With continual use, ecstasy users can also experience other side effects, such as tooth and gum disease, bruxism (teeth grinding), jaw clenching and high blood pressure, as well as transmission of sexually transmitted diseases from lowered inhibition during intoxication. Chronic ecstasy use can also lead to severe depression, anxiety, lethargy, memory loss and cognitive disturbances. At Passages, we treat ecstasy addiction and provide a medically supervised full detox.

The New York Times recently wrote that Franco has "accomplished something serious and worthwhile." The script was written by Franco with Matt Rager.
The multi-voiced story is about a
family on an errand to haul the dead body of one of its members
through rough Mississippi terrain in the 1930s. Written while working
at the power plant at the University of Mississippi, Faulkner wrote
the novel in six weeks. It is consistently ranked among the top
novels ever written. The story is set in Yoknapatawpha County or what
those of us in Oxford like to call the "alternate version" of our
home, Lafayette County.
The film premiered in May at Cannes Film Festival and has been seen in New York and Los Angeles.

How do you make a train more awesome?
Attached two jet engines to it.
That's exactly what Don Wetzel of the New York Central Railroad did in 1966 with the help of GE.
In the summer of 1966, railroad engineer Don Wetzel bought a pair of GE jet engines from a surplus Air Force bomber, bolted them to the roof of a stock commuter car, and took the train to a straight section of Ohio track. On his second try, he zipped down the rails at 183 miles per hour, a new North American rail speed record.
The record still stands. Wetzel's jet train, along with France's TGV 001, also remains the world's fastest self-propelled train. (Unlike electric trains, the jet train carried its own fuel). "Actually, our speed hit 196 miles per hour and we were decelerating when we went through the timing traps," Wetzel says. "Everybody thought it was pretty funny that we set a world record when we were slowing down."
Sadly, the jet car was soon dismantled. But that wasn't the end for Wetzel and those jet engines.
"Wetzel, always thinking, salvaged the jet engines and built a patented jet-powered snow blower," writes GE.
Now check out the video. The train gets going at the 7:00 mark:

I imagine this has already been covered, but I'll ask it again. I've been offered a Gundlich Turner-Reich Astigmatic 13"/21"/28" lens at a REALLY good price, I think ($100.00). How does this lens work? Do you disassemble it & put it together in a different configuration for the differing lengths or what? It's in an old shutter that seems to work but needs cleaning. The lens elements are clear with just a little haze.
Looks like it's either a pain to use or it might be an interesting find. Thanks for any help or direction.

A Chicago fugitive characterized in court documents as a "bundle runner" in the West Side heroin trade was arrested in rural Alabama Thursday after the FBI was tipped off that he was hiding there.
Corey Griffin, known on the street as "Fat Rat," was captured in the afternoon at a relative's home west of the town of Brent in central Alabama, said Paul Daymond, a spokesman for the FBI's Birmingham office. Griffin did not resist arrest.
"Citizen tips are very important," he said. "This case and the (James "Whitey") Bulger case show that."
Bulger, a former FBI informant and Boston mobster charged with a string of killings, was arrested Wednesday in Santa Monica, Calif. after a tipster told agents his whereabouts.
Griffin, 40, had an initial appearance before a federal magistrate in Birmingham, Ala., today and remains in custody. He will be returned to Chicago for prosecution on the pending charges, according to federal officials.
Griffin was considered one of Chicago's most-wanted fugitives and has been featured on billboards seeking information on his whereabouts. This month the FBI and Chicago police offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to his arrest, about seven months after he was charged as part of "Operation Blue Knight," a joint investigation by Chicago police and the FBI.
Authorities say Griffin, who lived in Chicago in the 0-99 block of South Mayfield Avenue, was a member of the Traveling Vice Lords street gang and worked as a "runner" -- in street parlance, a low- to mid-level member of the drug operation whose job was to move heroin and cash from one place to another.
The November complaint also names four other purported members of the Traveling Vice Lords and alleges that it was Griffin's job to drop off drugs at another person's house for sale at a specific West Side corner and later return to collect proceeds from the sales.
Latest Breaking News
On July 1, 2010, Griffin allegedly was seen with his codefendants leaving an apartment near Sacramento Avenue and 23rd Street that investigators identified as a stash house where heroin was cut, mixed and packaged. The complaint also details controlled drug buys in which a confidential source bought packages of heroin from Griffin.
Griffin was one of 96 purported gang members charged in "Blue Knight," and one of about two dozen that initially eluded capture.
It was not clear how long he had been at the Alabama location.

Betancourt likely only Rockie to receive salary arbitration offer
The Rockies have said they would like Rafael Betancourt back. By Tuesday's 10 p.m. deadline, they can prove it. Betancourt is the only free agent they are expected to offer salary arbitration after being unable to come to terms on a two-year, $7-million contract.
Catcher Yorvit Torrealba, reliever Joe Beimel and starter Jason Marquis are among the other notable free agents not expected to receive offers. The team re-opened dialogue last week with Torrealba, who wants to return but is attracting interest from the Giants and Blue Jays.
Here's what it means if they extend an offer to Betancourt: He has six days to accept. If he does, his one-year salary will be determined by an arbiter. He will receive a raise from last season's $3.35 million salary, but possibly less than the $5 million club option the Rockies declined.
This is a financial risk Colorado will take for two reasons: Betancourt would still fit in the budget, and if the veteran declines the Rockies' offer the team will receive two high-round compensatory picks in next June's amateur draft if he signs elsewhere. That compensation could limit Betancourt's suitors. But the Phillies and Red Sox are among the team's that have interest and could be willing to pay both the salary and relinguish picks.
The Rockies have been busy this offseason discussing contracts with their arbitration-eligible players. While Huston Street and Clint Barmes are candidates for multi-year deals, the team is now eyeing one-year contracts for Chris Iannetta and Jorge De La Rosa.
The Rockies are trolling the waters for pitching depth of all types in the event they lose Jose Contreras, Beimel and Betancourt. The team has talked with Beimel's agent, but nothing has developed. Contreras is currently shopping his services to Japanese teams.
Those are the Rockies' radar include Justin Duchscherer and Miguel Batista. The Rockies are also looking for right-handed bench help – someone who can play first and third — even though they are more inclined to keep Ryan Spilborghs than when the season ended. Those that fit the description include Bobby Crosby, Rich Aurilia and Fernando Tatis among others.

For backup MySQL MyISAM database, I'm using:
mysqldump -u root -pthepass --lock-tables --add-locks --disable-keys --skip-extended-insert --quick $backupdb > /var/www/html/db2.sql
Even after long time using it, I still dont know what is the name of using
After typing
backupdb=siteone I need to know how long it will kept in memory? If I running many lines of command which takes very long time, do I need to type
backupdb=siteone again and again from time to time to regenerate the alias?
Is using this way really safe for almost anything? I'm worried of data loss since I'm dealing with database.
