Life lessons (my friend is an alien, what do I do?) abound at SF IndieFest as it turns sweet 16
It feels almost wrong to lump Hank: Five Years From the Brink into this roll-call of sinister neighbors and emotional vampires, but there are certainly many who'd call former Treasury Secretary and Goldman Sachs CEO Hank Paulson worse names. This latest doc from Joe Berlinger (the Paradise Lost trilogy) follows the template favored by Errol Morris in films like 2003's The Fog of War and last year's The Unknown Known, surrounding an extended sit-down interview with news footage and home movies reflecting on a political subject's career.
In Paulson's case, he walks us through the 2008 financial crisis (Jon Stewart referred to him as "Baron Von Moneypants") with the benefit of hindsight, and a certain amount of self-effacing humor. Whether or not you agree with the guy's actions, he's actually pretty likeable, and Berlinger's decision to include interviews with Paulson's no-nonsense wife, Wendy, adds a human angle to the decisions behind the "too big to fail" fiasco.
I hear you sighing. You demand uplift, dammit! Where are the happy movies? Though it's not without moments of relationship angst, Mexican filmmaker Fernando Frias' Rezeta just might be the festival's feel-good breakout. Largely improvised and filmed using handheld cameras and a cast of first-time actors (how do you say "mumblecore" in Spanish?), Rezeta follows a year or so in the life of Albanian model Rezeta (Rezeta Veliu), who arrives in Mexico with a good grasp of English but little knowledge of the local culture.
On her first job, she meets Alex (Roger Mendoza), a metalhead whose friendship becomes the one constant in her breezy life. As they slowly become a couple — the passage of time is marked out by Alex's changing facial hair and Rezeta's developing Spanish-language skills — the places where their personalities don't quite mesh become increasingly apparent. Rezeta picked up a special jury award at the recent Slamdance Film Festival, and it's not hard to see why; the characters feel so real. Don't we all know that sweet girl who turns into a catty pain when she's drunk, or that guy who's too cool to get excited about anything, or that couple who's fun to be around — until they start screaming at each other on the sidewalk outside the bar? Ah, youth.
Also worth mentioning: wonderful centerpiece pick Teenage, a collage film by Matt Wolf (2008's Wild Combination: A Portrait of Arthur Russell) that's based on Jon Savage's Teenage: The Creation of Youth Culture, spanning the adolescent experience from 1875-1945. First-person narrators (voiced by Jena Malone and Ben Whishaw, among others) reflect on the lives of teens from the US, the UK, and Germany, emphasizing both current events (World Wars I and II) as well as dance and music fads.
Finally, I'd be remiss for not calling your attention to A Field in England, easily the single weirdest pick of IndieFest 2014. Fans of Ben Wheatley, a fest vet and one of the most exciting directors to come out of England in years (2011's Kill List, 2012's Sightseers), already know what's up; everyone else, step boldly into this black-and-white slab of insanity set amid a handful of deserters scuttling away from their posts during the English civil war. And then the cape-wearing necromancer shows up, because of course he does. "I think I've worked out what God is punishing us for," one hapless character gasps. "Everything!" *

"Negotiating with Nature"
I recently produced the film, Hand of Brick, a documentary about the Densmore Brick Company in Lebanon, NH. The film was a look back by former employees of their time working for the company prior to its closing in 1973. The film was wonderfully received here in the Upper Valley and, I am honored to say, has recently been accepted to be shown on NH Public Television during the summer of 2014.
I am now starting another film project. The title is Negotiating with Nature. This film will be about the perennial garden and our relationship to plants – a subject you know I am passionate about. The film will be informative, educational and entertaining. It's not a "how" to but rather a "why" to garden film. In fact, I hope that the film will inspire a younger audience to take up gardening – to see the importance that both private and public gardens have in our lives and in our communities.
So far, I have enlisted several people to work with me on this project – people who agree with me that this is an important film to be made – Gordon Hayward, Vermont garden designer and author, Noel Kingsbury, British garden designer and author, Lynden Miller, public garden designer from New York City, Peter Hatch, retired garden curator of the Monticello gardens, David Culp designer, author and owner of Brandywine Cottage in PA, and Jay Parini, best-selling author and poet from Middlebury College.
The film will feature gardens such as the High Line in New York, the Lurie Gardens in Chicago, Jefferson's gardens at Monticello and Brandywine Cottage in Pa. among many others.
Hand of Brick was made using a small Canon camera and a very small budget. Unlike Hand of Brick, my next project will cost more to make. I will need funds to travel for interviews and filming. I also need a new camera and film equipment . At this time, I am looking to make a trailer or promo to use for a Kickstarter fund raising effort and to help with procuring larger donations. Imagine what I can do with a larger budget!
I am looking locally to try to raise "seed" money to help get this project off the ground. I am writing to ask if you would make a modest donation to help make Negotiating with Nature a reality. The Byrne Foundation of Hanover, Jack and Corky Wennberg and the John T. Percy family are some who have already given generous donations. Donations can be made through my fiscal sponsor, the Upper Valley Arts of Norwich, Vt. Your support would, of course, be tax deductible.
If you need more information please e-mail me at email@example.com or call 603/643-2889. I would be more than happy to discuss my proposal with you.
You can make donations payable to:
Upper Valley Arts
P.O. Box 322

The NSA's cyber-snoops are everywhere
President Obama defends the Prism program as legal and justified. Lots of folks clearly disagree.
According to reports in the U.K.'s Guardian newspaper and the Washington Post, the National Security Agency and the FBI are directly tapping into the servers of some of the world's largest tech companies, including Google (GOOG), Apple (AAPL), Yahoo (YHOO), AOL (AOL) and Microsoft (MSFT).
The companies told the newspapers they had no knowledge of such a program, which is separate from Thursday's revelations that a court had ordered Verizon (VZ) to disclose data on millions of its customers. (Microsoft owns and publishes moneyNOW, an MSN Money site.)
Dubbed Prism, the program gives the government access to a trove of information, such as the content of emails, search histories, live chats and file transfers. It was started in the George W. Bush administration after the existence of the so-called warrantless wiretap program was unveiled in the press. Prism is aimed at communications that originated overseas.
Speaking to the press today, President Barack Obama argued that Prism is lawful and that members of Congress were properly briefed about it. The government isn't listening to people's phone calls, he said. But alarm bells sure are ringing.
An unusual alliance of libertarians, The New York Times, the ACLU and even former Vice President Al Gore have joined forces in condemning the Obama administration's efforts. Some critics have worried for years that these sorts of activities have been occurring.
In a strange twist, The Wall Street Journal's conservative editorial page is backing the administration, saying that "the data sweep is worth it if it prevents terror attacks that would lead politicians to endorse far greater harm to civil liberties."
Of course, citizens will have to take the government's word that it's respecting their privacy. The ramifications are huge, given how much the government can learn about people just by examining their digital footprints.
"Even without intercepting the content of communications, the government can use metadata to learn our most intimate secrets -- anything from whether we have a drinking problem to whether we're gay or straight," the ACLU's Jay Stanley an Ben Wizner write in an op-ed for Reuters. "The suggestion that metadata is 'no big deal' -- a view that, regrettably, is still reflected in the law -- is entirely out of step with the reality of modern communications."
The Obama administration will need to back its words about respecting the public's privacy with deeds, which as of yet haven't been forthcoming.

- Polygamy policy: Utah County attorney gets it right - Salt Lake Tribune Editorial
The Utah County Attorney's Office may have raised eyebrows when it declared in a court filing that it would not, as a matter of policy, prosecute polygamists under the state bigamy law unless some form of abuse, violence or fraud were involved. In Utah, this makes practical as well as legal sense.
Polygamy as practiced by several of Utah's fundamentalist Mormon clans is pernicious. It enslaves women from girlhood in a patriarchal and religious web that denies them education, reproductive freedom, self-actualization and career opportunities. It can be equally corrosive in the lives of boys.
But there are exceptions. When consenting adults enter into religious marriages that are polygamous, without the expectation of the benefits of the state's legal sanction, and there is no fraud, violence or abuse involved, there's nothing to be gained by prosecution.
Several of the state's attorneys general have realized this for many years. Current Attorney General Mark Shurtleff has made it a formal policy, and the new policy in Utah County mirrors that reasoning. ...
- Polygamy and same-sex marriage - Provo Daily Herald Editorial/Poll
... the decision would lend legal weight to the lifestyle of some 30,000 polygamists in Utah who have long complained that Utah's anti-bigamy law is unconstitutional and that it unfairly causes them to live under constant threat of prosecution.
It would also likely encourage advocates of gay marriage by adding one more argument to their arsenal. It would tend to legitimize personal and family relationships between consenting adults that are commonly understood -- and referred to -- as marriage. If the choice of family configuration is protected for some adults, it must be protected for all, gay marriage advocates argue with some legitimacy. ...

- John Edwards: Not all sins are a crime - Salt Lake Tribune Editorial
John Edwards' political career was already over. The Nationial Enquirer had seen to that.
After the supermarket tabloid's splashy revelation that the former U.S. senator and presidential candidate had betrayed his popular — and cancer-stricken — wife by fathering a child with a worshipful campaign videographer, the North Carolina Democrat was done. To some, such public humiliation would have been punishment enough.
But a platoon of federal prosecutors, led by a partisan Republican and supported by a division of the Justice Department that has a less-than-stellar record of dispensing justice, decided they wanted a piece of Edwards, too.
So they charged Edwards with violating federal campaign finance laws by funneling nearly a million dollars in support and/or hush money to the politician's mistress.
Thursday, after much sound and fury and jokes and tweets, a jury acquitted Edwards on one count in the indictment and failed to reach a verdict on the other five. Sources say a retrial is unlikely, and that is as it should be.
Not everything that is filthy and ugly is a crime. ...
- John Edwards: A trial with no new answers - Charlotte (N.C.) Observer Editorial
In the end, America knows just as much now as it did three weeks ago about whom John Edwards betrayed. The former North Carolina senator and presidential candidate had an affair while campaigning, fathered a child with his mistress and tried to hide it all. The victims, as always, were his wife and family.
But for 17 days, a jury of eight men and four women sifted through campaign finance laws, testimony and more than 500 exhibits to determine if anyone else was aggrieved in the case of Johnny Reid Edwards. They never should have been asked to do so. The verdict of one count not guilty and five undecided may have been unsatisfying to a public ready for closure, but the result was unsurprising. ...

Value Investor Francis Chou's Top Picks
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Francis Chou, of Chou Associates Management, was recognized by Morningstar with the Fund Manager of the Decade award in 2004. We track his quarterly 13F filings alongside those of hundreds of hedge funds and other notable investors as part of our work developing investment strategies (for example, we've found that the most popular small cap stocks among hedge funds outperform the S&P 500 by an average of 18 percentage points per year).
In addition, while we don't recommend blindly imitating any manager's picks, we like to see how individual filers are playing the markets by going through their top picks; this also allows investors to potentially identify ideas for further research. Read on for our thoughts on Chou's five largest holdings as of the end of March or see the full list of his stock picks.
Trusting two value investors
Chou is a modest guy: his top pick was Berkshire Hathaway. Many value investors think that their own talent in picking individual stocks is good enough to avoid buying shares of Warren Buffett's holding company (or, like us, they are concerned that Buffett's successors might not prove as adept at managing the giant amount of assets Berkshire has).
At current market prices, Berkshire Hathaway is valued at a significant premium to the book value of its assets, with a P/B ratio of 1.4. Find Buffett's favorite stocks.
When it comes to "the Warren Buffett of Canada," Prem Watsa, however, Chou apparently prefers to order a la carte: his second largest holding by market value was Watsa favorite Resolute Forest Products (NYSE: RFP), a $1.3 billion market cap company providing newsprint and other paper products.
Due to a struggling industry, earnings per share have not been particularly high recently though Wall Street analysts expect business to improve over the next year and a half with the result being a forward P/E of 12. According to the most recent data, 16% of the float is held short.
Three more of Chou's picks
The fund owned 2.5 million shares of Dell (NASDAQ: DELL) at the end of the first quarter of 2013. Dell currently trades at around $13.42 per share, with the company apparently moving towards accepting founder Michael Dell's offer of $13.65 (working with private equity investors such as Silver Lake) to take the company private.
Billionaire activist Carl Icahn has offered more per share, but concerns regarding the reliability of his financing seem to be preventing him from winning the deal. That makes for a 1.7% absolute unlevered return assuming the deal closes at $13.65.
Troubled department store Sears (NASDAQ: SHLD) was another of Chou's largest holdings with the 13F disclosing ownership of about 680,000 shares. The retailer is unprofitable on a trailing basis, and is expected to be so next year as well (though losses per share are expected to be cut nearly in half).
Forty six percent of the float is held short as many market players are skeptical of a turnaround. In its most recent quarter, Sears' revenue declined 9% compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year and with the industry as a whole struggling, we would avoid it.
Chou Associates Management had about 340,000 shares of Actavis (NYSE: ACT) in its portfolio as of the beginning of April. The pharmaceutical company, which is best known for its strength in generic drug offerings, has risen about 50% year to date and has been reporting good revenue numbers.
The sell-side is forecasting $9.55 in earnings per share for 2014, implying a forward price-to-earnings multiple of 13. This would be a fairly cheap multiple assuming that Actavis can convert its revenue into better earnings, and so we'd be interested in learning more about the company.
We've mentioned our concerns about Berkshire Hathaway and Dell, though investors who are more confident in Buffett's ability to choose successors and those who are interested in merger arbitrage opportunities may want to consider those stocks as well as Actavis.
In the cases of both Resolute and Sears, we're bearish on the industry and the individual companies have not been performing well enough recently for us to consider them as potential value plays right now.
The best investing approach is to choose great companies and stick with them for the long term.

The man responsible for a title pawn store robbery that ended with the shooting of Montgomery K-9 officer "Bodi" (pronounced Body) was sentenced Wednesday morning in Judge Tracey McCooey's courtroom.
Frank Raven was given 20 years for robbery in the first degree, 1 year for attempted assault of police officers and 1 year for the attempted killing of Officer Bodi. He pleaded guilty to the crimes in October.
Police were chasing Raven after he robbed the Title Pawn store on Atlanta Highway. Bodi located the hiding suspect, who then shot the dog as he approached. An officer then fired, shooting Raven in the leg.
Bodi was seriously injured, ultimately losing an eye in the shooting. The K-9 was later retired from the force and allowed to live with his handler.
Bodi died in July of an unrelated illness.
Raven said during the hearing that he wanted to apologize, adding that he had no intention of killing anyone or hurting the police dog. He claimed it was dark, and he was just protecting himself.
The judge agreed that Raven had no intention of harming the dog or scaring anyone, but added, "You're responsible for your actions, you put yourself in that situation. You weren't unable to know what you were doing."
Raven's attorney argued that with limited mental ability, the situation was intensified. The attorney also said the gun used was a BB gun and asked that the sentence be fair and split in order for his client to get mental health needs addressed.
The District Attorney countered saying it didn't matter what type of gun was used, arguing that by statutory definition, a gun was used in the crime.
Judge McCooey also admonished Raven for being off his medication, saying it was "no excuse".
The judge based sentencing on guilty pleas on previous cases, revoking probation.
"You're first going to go to Kilby (Correction Facility)," the judge told Raven. "They will put you somewhere to get mental treatment. When you get out, take your medications. If you don't do it, you will be in another court someday."

Brantley Gilbert continues his Hell on Wheels tour Thursday after launching the headlining trek last year. Undertaking a big tour like this one was a bit of an adjustment for Brantley at first, but he's transitioned from opening act to headliner just fine.
"I think one of the main differences is I play later, and I play longer," Brantley tells ABC News Radio with a laugh. "I do have my own lights. So, that's a little bit different. Our caravan's a little longer. I think we're three semis now and three buses. It's definitely growing."
Making sure all of those moving parts work together to put a show on every night can be stressful for Brantley, but he's taking it all in stride.
Brantley says, "It's a little bit more pressure, you know, and it comes with a little more stress, but we're at the point now where we're just having fun."
Kip Moore joins Brantley on this leg of the Hell on Wheels tour, and he promises fans a fun, freewheeling show. While Kip doesn't plan out what he's going to say or do during his set, he says, "I feel like you're definitely gonna sense the fact that all my heart and soul is in my performance, and beyond that I don't really know what to tell you to expect, but I'm gonna give everything I've got every single time."

Publication: The Day
East Lyme - Parents worried about mixing high school and elementary students in the same building raised concerns Monday about running the Coastal Connections high school program out of Niantic Center School.
The program, which includes about 25 high school students, calls for them to attend classes three days a week and have internships the other two days, according to Program Director Mike Sullivan. It is currently located in a Flanders Road building that houses a children's day care center, a dentist and special education program for students 18 to 21.
In a presentation to Niantic Center School parents, Coastal Connections students spoke about their internships and future plans, while administrators showed how the two groups of students would be in distinct areas of the building with separate entrances.
During the meeting, which was attended by about 50 people, some parents questioned the security of the proposal. There were questions about how the doors between the two sections would be locked and if students would interact with each other.
The proposal is part of an effort to cut rental costs, as well as other savings in oil and transportation, to preserve the student programs and not lay off teachers in light of a $650,000 cut in the proposed school budget, explained Superintendent of Schools James Lombardo.
Lombardo said moving the program to Niantic Center School would save at least $12,000. Some parents said it would be less.
Coastal Connection is also looking for a new home because the special education program for 18-to-21-year-olds, which is now housed in the same building as Coastal Connections, would need more space next year as more students enter the program.
Lombardo addressed the fact that there was some misinformation about the Coastal Connections program such as that it includes expelled students. He said the high school students would have different schedules than the elementary school students.
One Coastal Connections parent said that the high school students understand real-world behavior and work in a variety of settings, such as volunteering at charities.
"I think your kids will benefit from our kids being here," said John Leonard, whose daughter attends the program.
But parents emphasized that it was not the quality of the students or programs they were concerned about, but the mixing of any high school students with younger students, as well as fears after the Newtown tragedy.
One resident, Maureen Hahn, suggested the alternative of bringing the fifth-graders back to the elementary schools and then using the middle school space for the high school program, which would be "much more age appropriate."
Lombardo said he would reflect on what was said as the meeting with other administrators before deciding whether or not to make a recommendation to the board next week.

Established in 1344, Chateau Mt. Redon is one of the oldest wine-producing estates in France and the largest single property in Chateauneuf-du-Pape. The vineyards are planted in the 13 grape varieties of the region and are covered with large, smooth stones which reflect the sun warmth by day and residual heat by night into the maturing grapes.
(shah-too-NUHF due Pahp) Southern Rhone's landmark region, Chateauneuf du Pape, was the first region to gain AC status in France. That was the 1920s - it's history goes much further back than that. As the name suggests, the wine region was named after the new papal home, referring to the period of time in the 1300's when the pope resided in Avignon instead of Rome. Notable Facts...Read More About Chateauneuf-du-Pape
The Rhone region of France has a delightful selection of red varieties. There are 22 grapes allowed in the Rhone AOC, about half of them red. Most of these varieties are used as secondary blending partners, often comprising less than 10% of the blend. The primary red players of Rhone blends are Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre. Most wines from the Southern Rhone use Grenache as their...Read More About Rhone Red Blends

Parlez-vous français ?
This is Yvan Cournoyer. I hated the Habs when I was a kid–I say hated but that almost doesn't do it justice. Montreal in those days represented Lex Luthor to my beloved Bruins. However, Cournoyer was one of the guys you just had to tip your hat to, because he was electric.
I think Bure would be a modern day comp, but honestly #12 hasn't been seen before or since. One thing about the Montreal Canadiens that was true in my youth–the annual story of the season was always either Habs Win! or Habs don't win!
They were, for lack of a better name, the hockey Yankees.
One thing I rarely do on this blog is discuss politics. Mostly because hockey and women are more interesting, but also because it's a subject that can derail the topic at hand quicker than Lindsay Lohan can, well, pick something.
The French language was always an issue for Montreal fans. Al MacNeil was basically fired after winning the '71 Staney, because he'd benched Henri Richard during the playoffs. Little or no mention about John Ferguson's being pushed to the background, but the Richard issue got MacNeil a job with the Nova Scotia Vayageurs and Scotty Bowman (who could speak French) the best job in hockey.
The French language issue remains, but the Habs are handling it differently. Worse. Badly. Sam Pollock somehow managed to replace his Stanley-winning coach with another guy who had an English last name and not skip a beat, and if you try to tell me the political climate was less edgy then I'll call you a liar.
This is really about one thing: winning. Habs fans should stop embarrassing themselves with vicious verbal toward their English speaking coach and beg the God they pray to for the day when their French speaking GM gets the gaspipe.
In hockey, politics changes with W's. Even in Quebec province.

In classical music, as in politics and many other endeavors, every new regime is a reaction to the one before it. When, in 2004, James Levine became music director of the Boston Symphony, he was taking over an orchestra that had been led for 29 years by the colorful Seiji Ozawa. But as Ozawa aged from wunderkind to maestro, the BSO lost its spontaneity, and some observers fretted that its reputation was in jeopardy. Enter Levine, the conductor of the Metropolitan Opera, a certified innovator who, at 60, looked to the BSO as an opportunity to push the artistic envelope. He did, but poor health soon limited his appearances, and furthered the perception that his deeper allegiance was to New York.
Andris Nelsons, the young Latvian conductor who emerged, after a two-year search, as the BSO's new leader, is the orchestra's answer to Levine's health woes and wavering loyalties. At 34, Nelsons will be making his reputation in Boston; he and the BSO will rise or fall together. He has said he will make a home in Boston. If so, the Greater Boston community will be eager to embrace him.

Bats are vital to healthy ecosystems and human economies worldwide. As primary predators of night-flying insects, bats consume enormous quantities of agricultural pests and reduce the need for chemical pesticides. Yet these wonderfully diverse and beneficial creatures are among the least studied and most misunderstood of animals. Bats are threatened worldwide, and their colonies and habitats are destroyed - both intentionally and inadvertently - because of myths, misinformation, and lack of scientific knowledge and understanding. Bat populations are declining almost everywhere in North America especially due to the devastating White-nose Syndrome. Losing bats has far-reaching consequences for natural ecosystems and human economies. Knowledge is the key to their conservation and protection.
BatsLIVE: A Distance Learning Adventure is an exciting, free education program for children in the 4-8th grades and their educators, that will bring bat conservation to life in your classroom or community.

After the Cancer Experience: Research
The rapidly growing population of childhood cancer survivors presents a new challenge to the medical community. Long-term survivors face serious health risks for the remainder of their lives, including risks associated with the chemotherapy, radiation therapy or surgery used to cure them.
To help better understand those risks and develop more effective screening tests, ACE became a founding member of the NCI-funded Childhood Cancer Survivor Study in 1994. Since then, the program has helped build a database of more than 26,000 childhood cancer survivors.
Ongoing Research
- Participating in the NIH-funded Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS) since inception, including analysis on the health status of adult survivors of childhood cancer, preventive health behaviors, obesity, diabetes and hypertension who were treated for their childhood cancer from 1970 to 1986. Phase II of the study, evaluating the health status of patients treated with more modern therapy (1987 – 1999), is currently underway
- Four-year National Cancer Institute-funded ALLIFE Study funded to 1. determine the prevalence of cardiovascular risk in young adult survivors of childhood leukemia, and 2. test an intervention intended to increase levels of physical activity.
- Children's Oncology Group (COG) study: Key Adverse Events after Childhood Cancer.
- The COG study: Health-Related Outcomes for Hodgkin Disease Survivors.
- Upcoming study: Evaluation of a computer-based education program to educate childhood cancer survivors.
- ACE Program Evaluation Survey: Results of this study were presented at the Texas Academy of Family Physicians 59th Annual Session and Scientific Assembly in July 2008.

Twenty-five-year follow-up among survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia: a report from the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study
Blood, 15 June 2008
This article describes the incidence of mortality and chronic medical conditions of survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The article also explores the marriage, employment, education and health insurance status of these ALL survivors. Participants in this study were from the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study who received treatment from Jan. 1, 1970 through Dec. 31, 1986. When evaluating the information presented in this article, it is important to note that these participants received their treatment between 22 and 38 years ago and complications (morbidity) have decreased with each subsequent treatment era and with more modern therapies. Also, with the exception of death and subsequent cancers, the medical complications are all self-reported and not verified by medical record, so there can be some underreporting or overreporting of medical complications. Another important distinction that should be understood when reading this article is that some participants in this study received cranial irradiation, which was more common for central nervous system protection in earlier treatment eras, while other participants did not receive cranial irradiation. It is universally accepted that radiation increases the risk of future complications. The authors state that "it is very important to emphasize that the overwhelming majority (92%) of survivors who did not relapse or receive RT (radiation) did not report any severe CMC (chronic medical condition)."

HOUSTON, TX (WHBL) - Rickie Weeks hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning Wednesday night to help the Milwaukee Brewers get past the Astros in Houston, 3-1. Astros' starter Erik Bedard only gave up four singles before Josh Prince made it to second base in the eighth – and right-hander Hector Ambriz was called in from the bullpen to help protect a 1-0 Houston lead. Brewers' manager Ron Roenicke decided not to lift Weeks for a left-handed pinch-hitter – and Weeks rewarded the decision by crushing a slider into the left-field stands to give Milwaukee the lead. Aramis Ramirez hit a solo shot in the ninth. Weeks started at the lead-off spot for the first time in over a year, replacing Norichika Aoki who left to be with his wife for the birth of their second child. Prince was called up to take Aoki's roster spot for now. Houston scored its only run on a sacrifice fly by J-D Martinez. Ambriz took the loss. He's 1-4, as the Astros lost only their second game in their last seven. John Axford got the win by pitching a scoreless seventh. He's 3-3. Francisco Rodriguez gave up two hits in the ninth, but still got his 299th career save. The Brewers won for only the second time in their last five contests. And they moved up to a tie for last in the N-L Central with the Chicago Cubs, both 12 games below .500. Milwaukee will close out its series at Houston this afternoon. Right-hander Yovani Gallardo will face Astros' right-hander Lucas Harrell. Pregame coverage on WHBL starts at 12:35.
