Currently, the only known way to obtain unlimited stem cells is by using days old embryos from fertility clinics that would otherwise be discarded. Though these embryos have never been in the uterus and have never become a fetus, some people are opposed to this research because they consider this embryo to be morally equivalent to a human being.
After stem cells are removed from the embryos, they continue to divide in a lab, creating more copies of themselves (also known as a stem cell line).
They then can be exposed to specific growth conditions in order to develop into the desired (tissue-specific) stem cells, such as muscle cells.
Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) involves transplanting a patient's genetic material from something as simple as a skin cell into an unfertilized egg in order to grow patient specific stem cells.
No sperm is involved, and therefore no fertilization occurs, in this procedure. Also, because the group of cells from which the stem cells are derived are not implanted in a uterus, no fetus is involved.
SCNT has promise for therapies because the stem cells have identical DNA to the patient, thereby avoiding problems of rejection by the patient's body. SCNT is also a critical tool to create disease-specific cell lines that can be studied in vitro (outside the body) to learn how complex diseases develop and to understand how certain drugs may affect the progression of that disease. The technique has been proven to work in animal cells but has not yet been proven in human cells.
There is a big difference between reproductive cloning and therapeutic cloning.
Reproductive cloning involves creating an embryo and then actually implanting it into a uterus. It is highly unlikely this could work for humans, and for ethical and scientific reasons, all but a handful of radical scientists are strongly opposed to attempting it. Therapeutic cloning creates an embryo but never implants this in a uterus as it intends to only create patient specific stem cells, not a person.
Many countries and some US states already have legislation that permits therapeutic cloning while continuing to prohibit reproductive cloning. The vast majority of scientists support the prohibitions against reproductive cloning.
Under administration policy, only stem cell lines created before August 9, 2001 can be studied using federal funds. Although it was originally claimed that more than 60 lines would meet this eligibility criterion, most researchers in the field consider this to be a big overestimate. NIH (National Institutes of Health) currently lists only 22 lines that are available for distribution to researchers. Though many of these these federally approved lines have proven useful for basic research, they are also limited in their utility for a variety of reasons, including lack of genetic diversity, abnormalities, and poor growth characteristics. Therefore, if the therapeutic potential of unlimited stem cells is to be realized, researchers must also work with new lines. This cannot be done using NIH funding (the main source of research funds for most academic labs in the US), and so researchers must rely on private philanthropic support.
Limited stem cell-based therapies are already in widespread clinical use, in the form of bone marrow and cord blood transplants. These procedures, which save many lives every year, demonstrate the validity of stem cell transplantation as a therapeutic concept. Similar successes should be possible with unlimited stem cells for many other diseases, but it is impossible to predict how soon this will happen.
Not yet. Although embryonic stem cell research has shown great potential, the field is still very new—human embryonic stem cells were first identified in 1998. Moreover, in the US and some other countries, progress has been slowed by funding restrictions and political controversies.
Probably not. This type of cell is present for only a limited time during the earliest stages of growth. After that, the process of development does not appear to require a cell that can form so many different types of cells and tissues and so, unlimited cells disappear. However, there have been a few very interesting reports of cells that have some of the features of unlimited stem cells. Sources here include the amniotic fluid that surrounds the fetus in the womb, rare cells in the blood system, certain types of fat cells, and even the small amount of pulp that remains in baby teeth after they are lost. While scientifically interesting, none of these other unlimited-like cells have proven capable of doing everything that true unlimited stem cells can do. As such, while they remain important to also study in the laboratory, they should not been seen as replacements for unlimited (embryonic) stem cells.
The umbilical cord and placenta are fully-developed organs and are a source of one or two types of limited (adult) stem cells, the blood producing stem cell and perhaps some connective tissue cells. Upon giving birth, it is possible to save or donate these stem cells for potential transplants to treat blood diseases in small children or donate them for research.

The Toronto Raptors offseason has begun early, as Doug Smith of The Toronto Star reports that head coach Dwane Casey and the Raptors have agreed to a 3-year contract extension.
Raptors have agreement in principle with Dwane Casey on a three-year deal, according to sources
— Doug Smith: Raptors (@SmithRaps) May 5, 2014
Dwane Casey was brought on by then Raptors' GM Brian Colangelo in 2011 as the head coach of the team, he finished his first two seasons with a sub .500 record (23-43 in 2011, 34-48 in 2012). Going into his final contract season, Dwane Casey was able to turn it the franchise around and have his first winning season as a head coach, leading the Raptors into their first postseason appearance in 6 seasons.
Many of the players have expressed their approval of coach Dwane Casey and have expressed their desire to have him back next season. With Dwane Casey, the Raptors won the Atlantic Division with a 48-34 record this season, for the 2nd time in franchise history, and as a result the coach finished 5th in NBA coach of the year voting.
Dwane Casey will be just the 2nd Raptors head coach to have a 4-year tenure with the franchise, joining former Raptors coach of the year, Sam Mitchell.

Yes, he can!
T.I. may be a convicted felon, but the self-proclaimed King of the South was still able to vote for the next president.
The rap star, whose real name is Clifford Harris Jr., faces a year in prison and 1,500 hours of community service for federal weapons charges. But he was allowed to cast a ballot today because Georgia law grants felons voting eligibility if they've not yet begun serving their sentence or probation. He's due to begin his sentence in March.
Sporting an "I'm a Georgia Voter" sticker on his black vest, the 28-year-old hip-hop heavyweight cast his first-ever presidential ballot at a voting station in suburban Atlanta. Upon exiting, he greeted dozens of fans, signed autographs and posed for photos.
"Feels like I've taken advantage of my right to become a part of the democracy," said T.I., who has been appearing recently with voter education groups in Georgia and Pennsylvania. "It was definitely worth standing in line and doing all the things people complain about voting. I think it's more than worth it."
No word who the Paper Trail MC voted for.

About Aid Watch
The Aid Watch blog is a project of New York University's Development Research Institute (DRI). This blog is principally written by William Easterly, author of "The Elusive Quest for Growth: Economists' Adventures and Misadventures in the Tropics" and "The White Man's Burden: Why the West's Efforts to Aid the Rest Have Done So Much Ill and So Little Good," and Professor of Economics at NYU. It is co-written by Laura Freschi and by occasional guest bloggers. Our work is based on the idea that more aid will reach the poor the more people are watching aid.

ARLINGTON -- The developer of downtown Arlington's Center Street Station, which includes Babe's Chicken Dinner House and the renovated Arlington Music Hall, has taken its Dallas-based lender to court to prevent it from foreclosing on the popular project.A state district judge in Tarrant County late Wednesday signed a temporary restraining order that stops Southwest Securities FSB from accelerating payment on the developer's $5.1 million note or posting the property, at the southwest corner of Center and Division streets, for foreclosure. A hearing is scheduled for July 11.Developer Burk Collins said Friday that Southwest Securities was "trying to turn a good loan into a bad loan. I'm not in default. I'm not going to take it lying down."He insists the development is thriving, noting that the popular Austin chain, Torchy's Tacos, has leased a 3,500-square-foot space to be built next to Babe's to the north. And three more eateries have also expressed interest in Center Street Station. Torchy's project will start when the city resolves some parking details, he added.Bank spokesman Ben Brooks declined to comment on the lawsuit.According to the suit, Southwest Securities sent Collins a default notice in May and said it planned to call the note June 29.In early 2011, Southwest Securities was ordered by federal regulators to review loans over $500,000 and to stop making real estate loans after admitting it had "engaged in unsafe or unsound banking practices," the suit says.As a result, late last year, loan officer John Donnally told Collins that the bank was requiring borrowers to reduce principal, shorten payout periods and to pay higher interest rates, the suit says.Collins said he refused to do so because his payments "were current."The bank now says Collins is in default because the loan is not in compliance with the debt service coverage ratio, or the amount of cash available to pay the monthly mortgage, the suit says. Collins said he has 20 percent above what's needed."They say we're $54 short," Collins said.Southwest Securities, not to be confused with Fort Worth-based Southwest Bank, this month foreclosed on the Vandergriff Town Center, a two-story office and retail building nearby at Mesquite and Division streets.Center Street Station is an office, residential and retail project on 2.7 acres also bounded by Front and Pecan streets. The historic Arlington Theatre, built in the 1950s, is on the site. The late country western singer Johnnie High for many years operated the building as the Arlington Music Hall, featuring Johnnie High's Country Music Revue.Collins, a North Texas developer for more than 40 years, was a neighbor of High. Five years ago, he bought a 75 percent interest in the property and High's business, the suit says.A year later, Collins announced plans to renovate the theater and add the restaurant.Southwest Securities, which has an Arlington branch near the theater on Abram Street, had been a sponsor of Johnnie High's Music Revue. Its loan officer, Wayne Smith, approached Collins about financing the project "because it wanted to support the revitalization of downtown Arlington," the suit says.In May 2008, the bank agreed to a $6.3 million loan, but later reneged on its commitment and reduced the loan to $5.1 million, the suit says. Collins said he put $2 million of his own money into the project to get the loan.Babe's Chicken opened in 2010 and is drawing about 450,000 diners a year, the suit says.The Mellow Mushroom, a pizzeria adjacent to the theater on the south, is not a part of the lawsuit.Sandra Baker, 817-390-7727Twitter: @SandraBakerFWST

With all of the great reviews, we expected to love this place. It's a truck stop with big rig parking in the lot! I will say that the restaurant is clean, but other than that it is no different than you would find in a highway rest stop.
Home cooked meals, friendly service, in the middle of no man's land. One of the best places in town to stop and eat breakfast or lunch. Convenient from everywhere, close to shopping, lodging, and fishing!
This place is good, you must try their deep fried pancakes! They are really good! Waitresses are always very friendly.
Authentic country cooking excellent staff plenty to eat and sweet tea. Accommodates one or twenty. Staff works together if they see you need something any one of the staff will help you with a smile! Love it!
This restaurant, locally known as The Truck Stop, is a staple in Lake Placid. It's a must do for a visitor. Great home cooking. Best burgers, awesome fries and daily specials. You won't be disappointed.
Go there...just go there...Its a local restaurant with a friendly staff in an authentic south central Florida somewhat beat-up, but clean old motel setting. Breakfast has all the regular options, with good potatoes and great off-the-bone ham cuts. Lunches are comfort food Southern style. There are not many places left as untouched by time as this.
Great place for breakfast or lunch when what you want is good food and good service. Portions are plentiful, prices are good, and the waitresses are friendly and attentive. Menu selection is very good - something for almost anyone. Can't beat their breakfast....eggs the way you want them, bacon or sausage, fried potatoes (YUM), and toast or biscuits. All at...
An old truck stop, not updated.
But food is decent and prices are reasonable.
Typically Florida; order iced tea and get sweet tea :-)
Too much orange and blue (gator fans) for my liking- I'm a Nole- but I'll go back as I often do for breakfast and lunch when we go to our Lake Placid weekend home.
Went with a friend for breakfast. I had two deep fried pancakes with peaches and cream. He had the traditional with two fried eggs, sausage, home fries, and toast. Both were Excellent!
Large portions, very reasonable prices, friendly service, and the dining areas were clean.
We ate here many times during our stay(breakfast and lunch). The staff is mostly family and friends that were very warm and attentive to your needs. The food was very good and good portions. Worth the stop!

There are many beautiful women in the city of London. Some of
them you may have been lucky enough to be acquainted with, either
through work or having met them as dates of friends and
colleagues. Some of them you may have even been lucky enough to
have a relationship with. There are more women however; that up
until now you may never have known existed. These women are
stunningly beautiful, the absolute top of the class when it comes
to women in London. They are intelligent, classy, and more than
anything, sexy. They are also available for you to spend time
with. This may sound too good to be true, but all you have to
know is where to find them.
London escorts are not as elusive as you may think. Gone are the days where you had to head straight to the back of the local classifieds section in order to find them and their ads were always a little obscure, so you never knew what you were getting yourself into. Now times have changed. In order to access some of the most beautiful women you would have ever had the pleasure dating all you have to do is find time in your busy schedule to have a look around the London escorts website.
All girls come complete with descriptions, reviews and a portfolio of hot pictures of them, so you can be certain that who you are choosing is the absolute right choice for you. The girls also come with information about themselves, what they like and what their interests are. This comes in handy if you want a girl who is interested in museums as much as you are. The London escorts also have one more draw card. They specialise in all manner of things, from stripping to sensual massage, from S&M to the 'girlfriend experience' you will be left in no doubt that dating an escort in London is going to be the best idea you have had in a long time!
All you have to do is spend a short amount of time on the site browsing through all that London has to offer. You can narrow down your search by searching Escorts by Location or Escorts by Price. Or, you can spend a longer amount of time browsing all the girls, this way making sure that you haven't missed a thing!
Once you date an escort you never go back to wasting your time with girls from work or at the pub. Why waste your time doing that when you can instead save your time on someone that you feel is the perfect match for whatever it is you have planned for the day or night?

It is the result of politicians making ill-informed, feel-good decisions that cater to a small group.
So now that the City County bargained for 55 "free" events every year, they're trying to figure out what to do to fill the space. Heaven forbid they would have thought about their needs FIRST.

Mr. or Ms. Benefit: Mr Cline had nothing to do with the decision to give the Sequoia School District a 2.6M contribution to the building of the theatre. Nothing. Nada. The idea came from Council Member Lee Duboc (2002 - 2006) who offered the money to the school district unsolicited. Winkler, Jellins and Collacchi joined her in the vote. I don't recall if Kinney voted for it but, it was probably unanimous. Imagine, $2.6M from the General Fund! The money could have been used to get the Belle Haven Police Sub Station built. On the East side of the freeway the shootings and the deaths mount but on the West side the theatre lives on.
Lets give our new council member, Ms. Carlton a hand for thinking outside the box! I hope she also has some good ideas for how to make the Stanford Medical Center project on El Camino Real a more integrated development than what seems to be the University's initial proposal.

new non auditable spin on this latest variant
thanks a lot. i put the script in the Dock and also in the Script Menu. it works 99% of the time. but occasionaly i have to force quit it. then re-run the script again and it works every time. also this latest version of the script will bring the finder to the foreground so you do not have to click the finder. dont know why as there is no difference to the tell command. i edited it a tad, took out the "say" here is my edited version.
tell application "Finder"it works great! thanks to all that have contributed to making this script even better and more functional than the one rob originally posted. Ken Edwards email@example.com
just added restart
just modified the script with a restart option, if someone needs that just grab it here
just added restart
Saved As Run Only means I can't edit your choices. An application with out startup screen is enough.
just added restart
Great!Thanks Ben

Factual Report: S-76A lost tail rotor control
Sikorsky S-76A, Houston, April 19, 2006–The S-76A was hovering at West Houston Airport (IWS) when tail rotor control was lost. Registered to and operated by Houston Helicopters of Pearland, Texas, the helicopter was substantially damaged, but the commercial pilot, copilot and eight passengers were uninjured.
The pilot said he made a right pedal turn to land facing the airport's terminal building. All forward movement had stopped, and he began lowering the collective to land when the aircraft entered an uncommanded spin to the right. The copilot said the helicopter made about three full 360-degree turns before hitting the ground. After the aircraft hit, the pilot pulled back the power levers.
The S-76 had flown to IWS from a station in the Gulf of Mexico.

if you're reading this message, it's because I've just uploaded a brand new track from my upcoming album that's due for release next year. I thought I'd talk a little about it and also what's coming in the next few months for Sleep City Crisis. Before anything I would like to talk about where we left off.
Upon, releasing last year's The Akashic Records Vol.1 I began in January making music without overthinking the music making process. I was just loading up a bunch of samples, VST instruments, and my bass guitar just fucking around. I had no intention of finishing any tracks, but I ended up with over 100 unfinished tracks and uploading the 2013 Demos (which by the way.. I thought.. I deleted it and I didn't…. so you can check it out here if you want to).
Afterwards, I stepped back from music for awhile for two reasons. One reason was I wasn't satisfied with any of the stuff I attempted to finish and the other reason, I was enjoying life (by enjoying life, I mean staying home and enjoying all forms of indoor activities like video games, graphic novel reading, and other great exciting things!). Sometime around April, I had the pleasure of meeting with Grace from Graceful Sounds Radio (SPOILER ALERT: I sounded like a massive stoner) and I had my first radio interview with her, which you can listen to here and my first online interview. Along with a nice review here.
I spent the year so far consuming lots of media like video games, graphic novels, some films, and then got really deep into watching documentaries. I had been doing some collaborations that didn't exactly fall through with the exception of one collaboration with Stevie B from The Killing Hours which is still going on.
So when am I going to stop babbling and talk about the upcoming album? Well right now because it all relates.
While I was being immersed between media consumption and watching documentaries, I was lead thorough many ideas which inspired the theme and direction of the upcoming album. Although the theme of this upcoming album may seem familiar, this will not be part of The Akashic Records theme.
This untitled album will be much more lengthy to a point where it may be released in a trilogy series. This will also be a whole other challenge musically and production wise for me.
In this album, we will be exploring the body, mind, and spirit as it travels from mundane life to higher forms of reality. I'm adding a lot more elements in compositions that will make you do more than the thinking that The Akashic Records Vol.1 did. They'll be a lot of frequency experiments in this album with binary beats and more.
Out of all the tracks that I have completed, I have decided to upload the simplest one today, but in the next few months, I will be uploading more tracks ending The Akashic Records Vol. 1 era and also will be continuing my pending collaborations (Excuse my terrible grammar).
The new track "Samsara" can be heard here
Thank you for listening and reading,

Big League Stew
Woman went into labor at Kauffman Stadium during Game 1 of the World SeriesMark Townsend at Big League Stew1 hr ago
Attending a World Series game can be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many fans, unless of course you are Marlins Man.
When that rare opportunity comes, it's one you don't want to let pass by if you can help it. In the case of Royals fans Stephanie and Jason Hetherington, that even meant tempting fate and attending Game 1 knowing the due date for their third child was a week away, and that the moment of truth could arrive at any time.
"Hopefully she stays in there long enough for us to enjoy the game," was Stephanie's thought leading up to Tuesday's game at Kauffman Stadium.
Of course, the baby had other plans for the World Series, and they didn't involve sitting at the K for nine innings. As the couple gathered their pregame snacks, Stephanie realized that her water broke and the baby's estimated time of arrival had just dramatically changed.
Marlins Man gives up World Series Game 3 seat to 'God Bless America' singerMark Townsend at Big League Stew3 hrs ago
Despite the World Series scene shifting to San Francisco on Friday, the now famous Marlins Man, aka Laurence Leavy, was seated front and almost center for Game 3 at AT&T Park.
Leavy was a little more difficult to spot as his bright orange Miami Marlins jacket and Marlins visor blended in with the San Francisco Giants orange being worn by fans around him. Still, once he was spotted, that's where our attention went as we once again pondered how he was able to land those second row seats.
At least those were our thoughts in the early innings. As we panned those same seats in the eighth inning, we noticed that Marlins Man was missing from his spot, but another familiar had taken his place. As we quickly figured out, that was Steven Powell of the U.S. Navy, who just moments earlier performed a stirring rendition of "God Bless America" despite audio issues at AT&T Park.
It was no accident that Powell ended up in that exact seat, of course. It was Leavy's to start, but he happily gave it up so Powell could enjoy the final two innings from behind home plate.
Inside AT&T Park's Gotham Club, a baseball VIP experience like no otherMike Oz at Big League Stew3 hrs ago
SAN FRANCISCO — The door is like many at AT&T Park — it's nondescript and it doesn't look like it goes anywhere special. Maybe it's a maintenance closet?
There's a sign to the right of the door that doesn't make too much sense to the average person. It reads, "Suite B2 Electrical and IDF Rooms." In the middle of the door is a square with two crossed bats and "GC 1883." If you were walking on AT&T Park's suite level and didn't know better, you'd keep on walking.
Heck, if you happened to open the door and look, you'd just see a blank grey wall. If you turned your head, though, and looked the other direction, you'd see a host stand and service staff dressed in black, welcoming you to The Gotham Club.Sat, Oct 255:07 PM PDTKansas City at San FranciscoPreview Game
The Giants offense needs a boost, is it time to turn to Michael Morse?Mike Oz at Big League Stew4 hrs ago
SAN FRANCISCO — Somewhere between Kansas City and the Bay Area, Giants slugger Michael Morse got hit with a flu bug.
There were Giants fans who wanted to see Morse — the team's go-to pinch hitter since the National League Championship Series — return to full-time duty in the outfield. The World Series shifting to San Francisco meant he couldn't be the Giants' designated hitter like he was in Games 1 and 2 in Kansas City. His bat, Morse supporters figure, is a necessity against these Royals.
The flu took that option off the table. It wasn't even abundantly clear that Morse would be able to pinch hit in the Giants' 3-2 loss in Game 3. Skipper Bruce Bochy asked Morse earlier in the day if he was well enough to pinch hit.
"I'll give you the best at-bat I can," Morse responded.
Miguel Cabrera's recovery from ankle surgery could linger into 2015 seasonMark Townsend at Big League Stew11 hrs ago
The Detroit Tigers season ended earlier then they'd hoped and in very disappointing fashion after they were swept by the Baltimore Orioles in the ALDS. Now their offseason is getting off to a pretty rough start too after the team learned that Miguel Cabrera will not be able to resume baseball activities for at least three months following surgery on his right ankle.
Though resurgent in September, Cabrera wasn't his MVP caliber self for most of the second half of the season. His lack of production (three home runs and 16 RBIs from the All-Star break until Sept. 1) can be attributed in part to a bone spur in his right ankle, which was bothersome enough that manager Brad Ausmus considered giving Cabrera multiple days off in late August even after the team had fallen behind the Kansas City Royals in the standings.
The Tigers knew offseason surgery was a distinct possibility, but nobody was anticipating that in addition to the bone spur, doctors would find a stress fracture in the navicular bone on the top of his foot. Doctors were forced to place two screws in his foot to stabilize the fracture, which changed his offseason outlook significantly.
Ned Yost on Royals pitchers: 'We don't feel like they're sissies'David Brown at Big League Stew12 hrs ago
Your browser does not support iframes.
In trying to explain whether right-hander Kelvin Herrera would be available to pitch Saturday in Game 4 of the World Series following a relatively heavy workload recently, Kansas City Royals manager Ned Yost used a bizarre adjective to describe his pitching staff as a unit.
Herrera has thrown 59 pitches in two games over three days, so the Royals might hesitate to use him much, or at all, in Game 4. If he plays catch Saturday and feels sub-par, Yost expects Herrera to tell pitching coach Dave Eiland without fear of reprisal.
"The one thing we do really well as a staff is, we communicate, and our relievers and our starting staff know that we have complete trust in them," Yost said. "And if they tell us they can't go, we trust them. We don't feel that they're soft. We don't feel like they're sissies. We know that they know their body."
Tony Gwynn honored by MLB prior to World Series Game 3Mark Townsend at Big League Stew13 hrs ago
Your browser does not support iframes. Baseball fans were simply stunned when MLB declined to honor or even mention Tony Gwynn during July's All-Star game broadcast on Fox.
It was nearly one month to the day after Gwynn died at age 54 following a long battle with salivary gland cancer, and it was almost expected that a few moments would be set aside to pay tribute to one of the game's purest hitters and one of its most respected ambassadors. A Hall of Famer in every sense both on and off the field.
Instead, Fox's cable sports network Fox Sports 1 aired a video tribute to Gwynn during its All-Star game pregame show, and that was that.
It was a nice video that would have sufficed, but airing it on the pre-game show didn't have the same impact as a moment-of-silence or the video airing during the game he starred in 15 times would have. Gwynn's exclusion from the broadcast felt strange, especially given the timing, and it left an empty feeling following an otherwise enjoyable game.
Royals survive letting Kelvin Herrera and Jeremy Guthrie hit for themselvesDavid Brown at Big League Stew13 hrs ago
Your browser does not support iframes.
The first at-bat in the professional life of right-handed relief pitcher Kelvin Herrera, coming in the seventh inning of Game 3 of the World Series, went as well as the Kansas City Royals could have hoped.
Actual hitter Eric Hosmer explained why after the Royals 3-2 victory Friday night at AT&T Park, which put them two more victories from their first championship since 1985.
"I was just hoping he didn't pull an oblique, or didn't get hit in the hand," Hosmer said. "That's all I was hoping."
Wisdom. Herrera came through healthy after his three-pitch strikeout against right-hander Sergio Romo, which stranded Jarrod Dyson at first base. Herrera even fouled off the second pitch, catching it off the end of his bat.
"He did make contact? That's pretty impressive," Hosmer said.
Eric Hosmer celebrates 25th birthday with RBI single, World Series winMike Oz at Big League Stew14 hrs ago
Your browser does not support iframes.
SAN FRANCISCO —The list of what Kansas City Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer wanted for his birthday contained exactly one item.
"All I asked for was a win," said Hosmer, who turned 25 on Friday.
He got it. The Royals edged the San Francisco Giants 3-2 in Game 3 of the World Series, taking a 2-1 advantage. He also helped it happen. Hosmer's RBI single in the sixth inning — which came after an 11-pitch at-bat against Giants reliever Javier Lopez — ended up being the difference in the game. (Though, the Giants' two runs came after Hosmer's single).
It's not quite teammate Brandon Finnegan's unique place in baseball history, but the list of players who have driven in a World Series run on their birthday puts Hosmer in cozy company.
Brandon Finnegan makes history by pitching in World Series and College World Series in same yearMike Oz at Big League Stew15 hrs ago
SAN FRANCISCO — This wasn't one of those history-making moments that came out of nowhere. Brandon Finnegan, the 21-year-old Kansas City Royals relief pitcher, has heard people talking about this for months.
Finnegan was the Royals' first-round draft pick in June. He also pitched in the College World Series in June for Texas Christian University. He arrived in the big leagues on Sept. 6 and not long after people were telling him he could be the first pitcher to appear in both the College World Series and MLB World Series. (Yes, some people in Royals world were thinking World Series as a possibility in early September).
Friday night, in the Royals' Game 3 World Series win, it happened. Finnegan marched out from the bullpen, he got two crucial outs in the seventh inning with a runner on base and the Royals up one. Now, he stands alone in history. And, after seven whole weeks as a big-league pitcher, his cap is Cooperstown.

There should be no lack of coherence or unity in the expression of our faith and witness to the Gospel in whatever reality we are called to live, whether physical or digital. When we are present to others, in any way at all, we are called to make known the love of God to the furthest ends of the earth. (Pope Benedict XVI)

VATICAN CITY (Catholic Online) - As eager and long time participants in what Pope Benedict XVI calls the the new digital "agora" - a Greek word which referred to the central palce in a City where the public would gather to communicate - made possible by social media, Catholic Online is pleased to present the full text of the Holy Father's message on this World Communications Day below.
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
As the 2013 World Communications Day draws near, I would like to offer you some reflections on an increasingly important reality regarding the way in which people today communicate among themselves. I wish to consider the development of digital social networks which are helping to create a new "agora", an open public square in which people share ideas, information and opinions, and in which new relationships and forms of community can come into being.
These spaces, when engaged in a wise and balanced way, help to foster forms of dialogue and debate which, if conducted respectfully and with concern for privacy, responsibility and truthfulness, can reinforce the bonds of unity between individuals and effectively promote the harmony of the human family. The exchange of information can become true communication, links ripen into friendships, and connections facilitate communion. If the networks are called to realize this great potential, the people involved in them must make an effort to be authentic since, in these spaces, it is not only ideas and information that are shared, but ultimately our very selves.
The development of social networks calls for commitment: people are engaged in building relationships and making friends, in looking for answers to their questions and being entertained, but also in finding intellectual stimulation and sharing knowledge and know-how. The networks are increasingly becoming part of the very fabric of society, inasmuch as they bring people together on the basis of these fundamental needs. Social networks are thus nourished by aspirations rooted in the human heart.
The culture of social networks and the changes in the means and styles of communication pose demanding challenges to those who want to speak about truth and values. Often, as is also the case with other means of social communication, the significance and effectiveness of the various forms of expression appear to be determined more by their popularity than by their intrinsic importance and value. Popularity, for its part, is often linked to celebrity or to strategies of persuasion rather than to the logic of argumentation.
At times the gentle voice of reason can be overwhelmed by the din of excessive information and it fails to attract attention which is given instead to those who express themselves in a more persuasive manner. The social media thus need the commitment of all who are conscious of the value of dialogue, reasoned debate and logical argumentation; of people who strive to cultivate forms of discourse and expression which appeal to the noblest aspirations of those engaged in the communication process.
Dialogue and debate can also flourish and grow when we converse with and take seriously people whose ideas are different from our own. "Given the reality of cultural diversity, people need not only to accept the existence of the culture of others, but also to aspire to be enriched by it and to offer to it whatever they possess that is good, true and beautiful" (Address at the Meeting with the World of Culture, B�lem, Lisbon, 12 May 2010).
The challenge facing social networks is how to be truly inclusive: thus they will benefit from the full participation of believers who desire to share the message of Jesus and the values of human dignity which his teaching promotes. Believers are increasingly aware that, unless the Good News is made known also in the digital world, it may be absent in the experience of many people for whom this existential space is important.
The digital environment is not a parallel or purely virtual world, but is part of the daily experience of many people, especially the young. Social networks are the result of human interaction, but for their part they also reshape the dynamics of communication which builds relationships: a considered understanding of this environment is therefore the prerequisite for a significant presence there.
The ability to employ the new languages is required, not just to keep up with the times, but precisely in order to enable the infinite richness of the Gospel to find forms of expression capable of reaching the minds and hearts of all. In the digital environment the written word is often accompanied by images and sounds. Effective communication, as in the parables of Jesus, must involve the imagination and the affectivity of those we wish to invite to an encounter with the mystery of God's love. Besides, we know that Christian tradition has always been rich in signs and symbols: I think for example of the Cross, icons, images of the Virgin Mary, Christmas cribs, stained-glass windows and pictures in our churches. A significant part of mankind's artistic heritage has been created by artists and musicians who sought to express the truths of the faith.
In social networks, believers show their authenticity by sharing the profound source of their hope and joy: faith in the merciful and loving God revealed in Christ Jesus. This sharing consists not only in the explicit expression of their faith, but also in their witness, in the way in which they communicate "choices, preferences and judgements that are fully consistent with the Gospel, even when it is not spoken of specifically" (Message for the 2011 World Communications Day). A particularly significant way of offering such witness will be through a willingness to give oneself to others by patiently and respectfully engaging their questions and their doubts as they advance in their search for the truth and the meaning of human existence. The growing dialogue in social networks about faith and belief confirms the importance and relevance of religion in public debate and in the life of society.
For those who have accepted the gift of faith with an open heart, the most radical response to mankind's questions about love, truth and the meaning of life - questions certainly not absent from social networks - are found in the person of Jesus Christ. It is natural for those who have faith to desire to share it, respectfully and tactfully, with those they meet in the digital forum. Ultimately, however, if our efforts to share the Gospel bring forth good fruit, it is always because of the power of the word of God itself to touch hearts, prior to any of our own efforts. Trust in the power of God's work must always be greater than any confidence we place in human means.
In the digital environment, too, where it is easy for heated and divisive voices to be raised and where sensationalism can at times prevail, we are called to attentive discernment. Let us recall in this regard that Elijah recognized the voice of God not in the great and strong wind, not in the earthquake or the fire, but in "a still, small voice" (1 Kg 19:11-12). We need to trust in the fact that the basic human desire to love and to be loved, and to find meaning and truth - a desire which God himself has placed in the heart of every man and woman - keeps our contemporaries ever open to what Blessed Cardinal Newman called the "kindly light" of faith.
Social networks, as well as being a means of evangelization, can also be a factor in human development. As an example, in some geographical and cultural contexts where Christians feel isolated, social networks can reinforce their sense of real unity with the worldwide community of believers. The networks facilitate the sharing of spiritual and liturgical resources, helping people to pray with a greater sense of closeness to those who share the same faith.
An authentic and interactive engagement with the questions and the doubts of those who are distant from the faith should make us feel the need to nourish, by prayer and reflection, our faith in the presence of God as well as our practical charity: "If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal" (1 Cor 13:1).
In the digital world there are social networks which offer our contemporaries opportunities for prayer, meditation and sharing the word of God. But these networks can also open the door to other dimensions of faith. Many people are actually discovering, precisely thanks to a contact initially made online, the importance of direct encounters, experiences of community and even pilgrimage, elements which are always important in the journey of faith.
In our effort to make the Gospel present in the digital world, we can invite people to come together for prayer or liturgical celebrations in specific places such as churches and chapels. There should be no lack of coherence or unity in the expression of our faith and witness to the Gospel in whatever reality we are called to live, whether physical or digital. When we are present to others, in any way at all, we are called to make known the love of God to the furthest ends of the earth.
I pray that God's Spirit will accompany you and enlighten you always, and I cordially impart my blessing to all of you, that you may be true heralds and witnesses of the Gospel. "Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to the whole creation" (Mk 16:15).

SAP's take cloud-based Business Intelligence puts the focus on spreadsheets and Salesforce.com, as the enterprise software giant tries to appeal to small businesses and departmental managers trying to do their own analytics.
Like most Software as a Service product categories, business intelligence has attracted its share of upstarts who see cloud computing as an opportunity to leapfrog the incumbents, not just to change the software distribution channel from boxed software to hosting on the Internet. I'll have more to say about one of those upstarts, Birst, in a future post. But established players aren't sitting still, either.
BusinessObjects BI OnDemand is the cloud version of the BusinessObjects product line that dates back to 1990. SAP bought the analytics software company in 2007. But the cloud version of the BI software is more than just a hosted version of the enterprise software package, says Holly Simmons, senior director of product marketing for SAP's OnDemand group. "The product is actually quite different because it's targeted to a different audience. Over time, the products will be even more different than they are today," she says. The OnDemand product was spun off of the enterprise edition of a few years ago but is being tailored for the needs of business users who need to be able to pick up the product with little or no IT support and with less analytic expertise.
"The on premise products in the past were geared mostly to analyst types, not necessarily end users," Simmons says. The features with the greatest crossover appeal are things like BusinessObjects Explorer, a tool that can automatically analyze any given data set and provide a set of default visualizations.
Although SAP offers a version of the OnDemand product that includes a data warehouse for analyzing large volumes of data, SAP seems to be putting more effort into courting small businesses and departmental business users within companies who may simply want to be able to upload spreadsheets into the system and run more advanced analytics against them than they could accomplish in Excel.
"This lets us get things out there for an audience that's never going to use an analyst tool," Simmons says. "A lot of data that exists in organizations is actually in spreadsheets people's desktops. And of course small businesses frequently don't have business intelligence technology at all. This gives them an easy way to update all of that directly, share it more broadly, and control who has access to it."
The other big trend I see is to use cloud BI to analyze data that is already in the cloud — particularly Salesforce.com data. This was the main reason for adopting BusinessObjects OnDemand I heard from both of the reference customers SAP introduced me to.
Over the past couple of years, Mark Warren has been exploiting cloud technologies wherever possible as chief architect at 20/20 Companies, a contract sales staffing firm based in Ft. Worth, Tex. The company uses both the base Salesforce.com system and custom applications built on Salesforce's Force.com development platform.
"20/20 is not primarily a technology company, it's a sales company," Warren says. "But all campaigns we have with each client are very specific to that client, and often that requires customized logic." Force.com allows him to tweak the applications, but he also needed a more sophisticated reporting and analysis capability than Salesforce provides.
"The reporting engine inside of Salesforce is what I'd call a good operational reporting engine, but it struggles to provide that flexibility we need," he says. "I quickly saw that it was not going to be sufficient to meet the complex requirements of our sales management group, or our executive management. We have a lot of best practices here around reporting and developing key performance indicators. And 20/20 does a really great job of making use of those tools. What the OnDemand solution allowed us to do was put in those sophisticated analytics with basically a zero infrastructure model, where we had no servers to manage and no software to install. I had it fully provisioned inside of 24 hours."
Angie Reese, a CRM Business Analyst at Genband, says that using BusinessObjects OnDemand in conjunction with Salesforce.com "fills in and completes the whole 360-degree view" of sales for the firm, a Voice over Internet Protocol and unified communications technology company. "We've rolled it out to some of our bigger channel partners as well, where they're managing multiple end customers and needed something a little more robust to let them combine all those end channel customers into one report."
Since Genband purchased the Carrier VoIP and Application Solutions division of Nortel earlier this year, Genband has also used BusinessObjects OnDemand as a tool for pulling together from multiple data sources across the acquired organization and its new corporate parent. Some of the Nortel people with analytic expertise have adopted the tool and begun exploiting it aggressively for new applications, Reese says.
Once you learn how to map the relationships between data loaded into the tool, "everything after that is just gravy," Reese says. "There is a very small learning curve, which is one of the reasons I really like it so much."
At the same time it is promoting ease of use, SAP is trying to remind customers and potential customers of the virtues of keeping compatibility with an enterprise standard, rather than taking up with some cloud computing upstart. SAP also wants to be the cloud BI provider you sign up with the approval of corporate IT, rather than by doing an end-run around them.
"Some of our competitors target the business person, which is great, but you end up with all this rogue activity," Simmons says. "Eventually it catches up to you."

12 Completely Sucktastic Vampire Movies
Posted by Fortey on Nov. 16, 2012
Posted by Fortey on Nov. 16, 2012
I swear if twilight would have been on this list.......
twilight is mormon propaganda reminding teenage girls to marry before sex
all those movies are a 100 times better than the twilight movies, but that dosent say much tho..
the funny thing about all of these is that Netflix proudly gathers them all
Is this a porno?
You forgot to add all the twatlight movies
"in space there is no daylight"
of course they don't put in twilight it goes with out saying that whole series blows
How did they pass up the tag line, "Been spending most their lives, living in a vampire's paradise."
haha i was expecting twilight
actually watched this... definitely sucks balls
and therefore not vampire movies
Twilight has nothing to do with vampires.
terrible acting by everyone. Anna Kendrick should've been female lead. that or her stunning rack.
