High dynamic range optical-to-near-infrared transmission measurements for different parts of human body in the spectral range from 650 to 950 nm have been performed. Experimentally measured spectra are correlated with Monte Carlo simulations using chromaticity coordinates in CIE 1976 L*a*b* color space. Both a qualitative and a quantitative agreement have been found, paving a new way of characterizing human tissues in vivo. The newly developed experimental and computational platform for assessing tissue transmission spectra is anticipated to have a considerable impact on identifying favorable conditions for laser surgery and optical diagnostics, while providing supplementary information about tissue properties.
1. Introduction
The spectral and colorimetric studies of biological tissues are of a considerable interest from the point of view of potential development of new techniques for non-invasive in vivo imaging and spectroscopic characterization of biological and human tissues and monitoring variations of their properties without amending their physiological state [1–3]. This is especially important for a number of practical applications including medical diagnostics [4], plastic surgery [5], face recognition for security needs [6], as well as for the optical design of a particular diagnostic system. It is especially critical for success of many therapeutic procedures when the exact knowledge of laser fluence delivered to a specific organ is essential [7,8], as well as for determination of the optimal laser excitation conditions for maximum depth tissue probing [1–3,9]
Spectral composition of light penetrating through biological tissues depends on the concentration and spatial distribution of chromophores within the given tissue, as well as on particular experimental conditions, including the probe geometry and multiple parameters of the incident optical radiation. In the past, there were numerous attempts to evaluate optical tissue properties by assessing both scattering and absorption properties of tissues (see, for example [4,10,11]; however, when it comes to the practical aspects, i.e., what is the fraction of the incident light radiation, which reaches a certain depth of a tissue, it creates a challenging computational problem of combining all the data collected in different ways [10,11], and, to the best of our knowledge, no data on the light transmission through thick tissues is available in support of such calculations.
In this report, we present a computational technique specially developed for simulation of the visible/near-IR transmittance and/or reflectance spectra of human skin and skin color calculation. The computational data are compared with the experimental data obtained using high-dynamic range spectral transmission measurements through different parts of a human body, which are easily accessible through those measurements.
2. Materials and method
The principles of optical spectroscopy are well known and widely described in details elsewhere, see, e.g., [12]. The optical spectroscopy experimental set up, used in current study, is schematically presented in Fig. 1 . To perform high dynamic-range optical transmission measurements a high spectral brightness optical source, which could be directed to a specific part of a tissue, is required. White-light continuum generated in an optical fiber provides rather high spectral intensity and focus ability [13]; however, short- and long-term stability of this continuum is rather limited. Thus, we used a modified approach employing high-energy picosecond laser pulses and large area photonic crystal fiber [14,15]. A broadband super-continuum was generated through a cascade of stimulated Raman scattering and wave-mixing processes and extended from 600 nm to 2200 nm; however, only a portion of this radiation from 650 nm to 950 nm was utilized in the experiment mentioned above. In order to avoid tissue damage and discomfort during long-exposure measurements, only 50% of the total laser power (roughly, 350 mW) was used for tissue irradiation. A multimode optical fiber bundle with an 0.6-mm2-area was employed to collect the transmitted light through a part of the body. The input end of the fiber was gently pressed against the opposite side of the body, and the output of the fiber served as an input slit of a 1/2–meter imaging spectrometer (Horiba, Inc.) with the attached TE-cooled CCD camera (iDus-401-BRDD; Andor, Inc.). A portion of the incident light was reflected off by the front surface of a glass slide and directed to a spectrometer for reference measurements. The reference spectrum was accumulated in the same time by using simultaneous input from two identical fiber ports at the entrance slit of the imaging spectrometer. The accuracy of this approach was validated by letting the incident beam entering the signal path without passing through the sample. For all the described measurements, the signal was corrected for a background, normalized to the incident light and averaged over 100-s to maximize the signal-to-noise-ratio.
Fig. 1
The above measurements were taken at different locations of human hand, including fingertip (through the fingernail), finger, palm wrist and forearm. Transmittance spectra measurements for a biceps were limited due to the sensitivity of the detection system. To avoid artifacts associated with spontaneous motions during the long-exposure measurements a hand of a volunteer was placed in specially designed holder.
The measured transmittance spectra are displayed in Fig. 2 . The variations in the spectral transmission are clearly observed for different parts of human arm that can be explained with the computational modeling in terms of the variation of the photons' pathlength in the tissue.
Fig. 2
3. Computational modeling
Owing to a wide range of actual probing conditions and a very complex composite structure of tissues considered in the current study, no general analytical solution is available that can simulate the detected scattered optical radiation and its interaction with tissues, their structural malformations and/or physiological changes. Therefore, stochastic Monte Carlo (MC) modeling was employed. We utilized a recently developed object oriented MC model [16,17] that allows description of photons and tissue structural components as objects, which interact each other. Thus, an object photon propagates through an object medium (or medium layer) and interacts with its constituents, such as cells, blood vessels, collagen fibers, etc. Such representation of the medium by objects makes it possible to develop realistic tissue models presenting 3D spatial variations of a biological structure. To achieve the most optimal simulation performance, a parallel computing framework known as Computer Unified Device Architecture (CUDA), introduced by NVIDIA Corporation, was employed. This capability enables simulation of thousands of photons simultaneously speeding up the process of simulation more than 103 times.
To simulate transmission spectra we applied a multilayered tissue model. This model, originally developed in Refs. [19–21], was extended to 17 layers by including muscles and bone structures. In this model, the absorption coefficients of each layer (Fig. 3 ) take into account the concentration of blood (Cblood) in various vascular beds, oxygen saturation (S), water content (CH2O), melanin fraction (Cmel) and are defined as
Fig. 3
Here μamel(λ) is the absorption coefficient of eumelanin, μaph.mel(λ) is the absorption coefficient of pheomelanin, Bmel is the volume fraction of the blend between two melanin types, μaoxy(λ) is the absorption coefficient of oxy-hemoglobin, μadeoxy(λ) is the absorption coefficient of deoxy-hemoglobin, μabaseline(λ) is the absorption coefficient of other water-free tissues (see Fig. 3). The actual values of the hematocrit index (Ht), volume fraction of hemoglobin (FHb), fraction of erythrocytes (FRBC), concentration of blood, oxygen saturation and water content are presented in Table 1 .
The scattering coefficients of the layers are approximated based on combination of Mie and Rayleigh scattering (Fig. 4 ) suggested in [22]:
Fig. 4
where N is the coefficient (in a range 1 to10) depending on the scattering properties of tissue.
The MC simulations were performed for the actual probe geometry used in the experiment (see Fig. 1) utilizing 1010 of the detected photon packets. The conversion of the spectral power distribution to the CIE XYZ (CIE 1976 L*a*b*) coordinates [23], as well as to the RGB-gamut color values, was performed using the standard CIE 2° observer and tristimulus values utilizing D65 illuminant.
4. Results and discussion
Figure 5 displays the experimental results shown in Fig. 2 for different parts of a human body in chromaticity coordinates plotted in the CIE 1931 color space in comparison to the results of the MC simulation. It is clear that the experimental and computational results are in a good agreement with each other.
Fig. 5
The design of the CIE 1931 color space splits the concept of color into brightness and chromaticity. The black contour in Fig. 5 is the spectral locus with the corresponding wavelengths. D65 is the standard daylight illuminant used in the MC model. The triangle represents a color gamut that can be reproduced by a standard computer monitor. As one can see, the modeled tissue colors outside the gamut cannot be displayed properly on a standard color reproduction device and require a conversion procedure. Moreover, the above diagram does not allow displaying the actual brightness (luminance) of those colors. However, the actual colors are observed by a naked eye during the experiment.
To make the luminance visible we converted the modeled CIE chromaticity coordinates into the Lab color space. Figure 6 shows experimentally observed and computer simulated the near-IR transmission colors of different parts of a human arm, presented in CIE 1976 L*a*b* color space. The simulation was done for the actual experimental geometry and the fiber probe position used to collect the data. The simulated CIE 1976 L*,a*,b* coordinates in the color space, plotted in Fig. 6, are presented in Table 2 with the converted sRGB colors.
Fig. 6
Observing the effect of the changes of tissues color due to, for example, changes of blood and/or melanin content, and variations in blood oxygenation, is of a potential use for the practical diagnostic purpose and bioengineering applications. These changes can be quantified and characterized with the developed MC model. Figures 7 and Fig. 8 show the examples of the results of the human skin spectra and skin color modeling for varying the melanin and blood contents in skin, respectively.
Fig. 7
Fig. 8
The results presented in Figs. 7–8 demonstrate the changes of spectra and color of human skin resulting from the melanin or blood content variations that can be characterized by combining spectral measurements with the results of MC modeling.
5. Summary and Conclusions
We performed the pilot experimental studies of the near-IR spectral transmission measurements through a bulk tissue samples in vivo. Those results provide a quantitative measure of the light transmitted through a certain body area as a function of the incident wavelength in the biologically significant optical transmission window. Those experimental results are compared with the results of computer simulations, and a good quantitative agreement is found when the data are presented in CIE 1976 L*, a*, b* color space. The chromaticity coordinates are calculated and the regularities of color variation are analyzed by MC simulation in the context of functional properties of human tissues. The spectral color composition of human skin and other biological tissues presented in a particular color space can be used for express-analysis of their functional physiological condition and identification of optimal conditions for optical diagnostics.
We expect that in a similar manner the regularities of human body color variation associated with the changes of optical properties of biological tissues due to optical clearing, melanin content changes and physiological changes (e.g., blood oxy-/deoxy-genation) can be observed and presented.

My friend and I went here for 6 days/5 nights as a girl trip to get away from the cold weather. Unfortunately, to our dismay, the stay was not as we expected.
Though we got lucky with a balcony and a view of the ocean, the room was comparable to that of a Days Inn or Best Western, the staff I feel spoke insufficient English (in fact it got worse as the trip went on) and did not seem to have a whole lot of information, there was no welcome packet or orientation to let you know how to make reservations for dinner, that the "mini bar" (which consisted of soda and water) was included, the customer service line never was answered, and there never seemed to be clean towels in our room when we needed them. In fact, on day 3 or 4 we realized that they were taking the same towels we'd been using already and just refolding/rehanging them (we were being courteous to not put them on the floor when wet so they didn't get mildewy).
We opted out of snorkeling because we felt the staff probably did not sufficiently clean the mouthpieces between uses among people, and though they offer windsurfing, waves were breaking about 200+ meters out so could be potentially dangerous as no guides went with you.
The food got me sick one night and I was hesitant to eat any seafood a good portion of the time we were there. Best thing was the chicken, eggs and flan.
Overall, we made the best of the situation in which we were presented, but I feel that there was a lack of information given to us and it was not portrayed as how it really is. And this is coming from someone who doesn't expect a 5-star stay wherever she goes.

Does anyone know , if there is any copmuter -based/ online implementation of Kriegspiel ? It seems quite interesting stuff to deal with , but getting to play it OTB seems almost impossible. Silicon version would be more suitable meethinks .
ICC must still.
Since the WinBoard ICS client (in ICS mode) already supports Kriegspiel, it would probably be easy to implement it in the public ICS code that I run on my Variant-ICS server. (I already implemented Gothic Chess, Xiangqi and Shogi there, for instance.) It would just be a matter of filtering the boards sent to the user, so they only get to see what they should see. A similar thing holds for Dark Chess, (with which I am more familiar; I even wrote a (rather stupid) demo engine for that).
Of course there are never any people on my ICS, let alone people that would want to play Kriegspiel, so you would have to play by appointment.

Qatala's not a bad sounding name at all after seeing those other names. He he. Since names all of have have a Q in front, Kathryn Janeway's could have been "Qate", as in "Kate". That would sound very nice. Random thought.
Anyway, with Harry starting to believe Kathryn Janeway, maybe the crew will start believing Qatala is Kathryn Janeway. It should be interesting. I wish Phoebe was trained as an officer, but since she isn't going to be, a cook's a good position for her. Let's see if how much better Phoebe's at cooking. It'll be interesting to see whether she's going to wow the crew or not with her skills.
I hope to see you update soon! Looking forward to your next update!
P.S. Sorry to hear about your job.
| LynnEGib chapter 4 . 10/20/2010
I suspect the crew will like her as a cook
| Julia and Tania chapter 3 . 8/17/2010
Yet another great chapter! I really like reading all the flashbacks and character development in this chapter. The scene at the end, in particular, between Harry and Kathryn Janeway was the most interesting. It was nice to see a moment between the two where Kathryn isn't treated like she's an impostor. If there's anyone that can convince the crew she is who she is, it's Harry.
I look forward to reading the next chapter! I can't wait to see where you will take this story, what obstacles you'll make the Voyager crew face. I hope you update again soon!
| Julia and Tania chapter 2 . 8/17/2010
I'm sorry it's taken me so long to leave a comment. I had it bookmarked, but didn't realise you had updated! You really do have a way with writing for Voyager. It all sounds so in-character; the development is logical; and you seem to know your Star Trek, its timeline, and technology too; which makes the story so much like I'm reading one of those Voyager novels. I just love it. The fact that it's also focused on Kathryn Janeway's resurrection makes it even more enjoyable to read.
I hope you don't stop writing this and continue. It really is such a great story to read! Now off to the next chapter! (I'm so happy there is a next chapter still to go!)
| Lady Day and Night chapter 3 . 3/4/2010
Looking good! I just wish the chapters were a bit longer, but even I know that writers can only work at the story's pace. Keep up the good work and post again soon!
| PilotTheTruth chapter 3 . 3/3/2010
Thanks for the backstory. Does Lyssa Campbell only feature in the books? because I can't recall her at all.
I like how your giving attention to how the crew as a whole are dealing, I think the show didn't really give enough time for that.
Once again looking foward to you next installment and the continuation of Harry's interrogation. :)
| PilotTheTruth chapter 2 . 2/25/2010
I haven't read the books so any info from them you put in your story would be appreciated.
I really like how you've potrayed Chakotay's and Kathryn's sisters as it's different from how most people envision them. I look foward to your next update.
| jewlz-sheridan chapter 2 . 2/11/2010
O, getting interesting :D. can't wait for the next chapter, i wonder how Kathryns gunna proves its really her! x
| Starscape91 chapter 2 . 2/10/2010
Great chapter! I can't wait to read more!
| parakitty chapter 2 . 2/9/2010
I'm not a fan of the book universes, but this is interesting. Very nicely written, I hope to read more! :)
| Lady Day and Night chapter 2 . 2/9/2010
GAH! More updates, PLEASE! You can't leave us hanging like this!

Lick Skillet If you're into good old American rock 'n roll, you'll be into Lick Skillet. A five member originals rock band based in the Southwestern Ohio/Northern Kentucky area, their style spans the rock genre from roots to the hard stuff, with a touch of country and folk around the edges. Fueled by the varied original compositions of band members Mark and Jim Weierman, along with select, "Skillitized" covers, the band is anxious to share it's music with audiences large and small in the Greater Cincinnati area and beyond. The lineup rounds out with vocalist/pyromaniac Danielle Kuntz, bassist John Estep and drummer Kip Vineyard. Their first studio release, the three song EP Overmedicated, has received college airplay from Kentucky to Massachusetts. Two of the songs from the EP, "Ain't Gettin' Any" and "Don't Wanna Follow You Down", have been featured multiple times on WNKU's Homegrown Music Connection, and also enjoyed regular rotation on that station's locally produced programming for the bulk of 2008. If you're looking for something other than typical cover band fare; if you delight in rock that is fresh and original while staying true to the form; if you want music that penetrates the psyche while kicking solid ass, then come out to see Lick Skillet as they rip up their repetoire, unveil their latest material and party on down. Overmedicated is available on disc from http://www.cdbaby.com/ and the songs can be downloaded from itunes and others. Red Beard's Revenge Cincinnati songwriter, James Funk, breaks through with a new band, 'Red Beards Revenge', and a new LP 'Jim Jimmy James', recorded at Sol Records in Bright, Ind. Since forming RBR in 2011, James has honed in the sounds of older songs he has written and the newer sounds he has been performing. RBR spent the next year developing their sound and vision, and were eager to capture the change in the studio. RBR CD Cover'Jim Jimmy James' is an 11 track LP that captures the raw and honest energy of Red Beards Revenge. These 11 tracks are united by a common theme: Jim Jimmy James interpreted as child, boy, man. Members are James Funk, Jason Wilcoxon, Dan Baechle, Daniell Kuntz, and Jason Gay. Red Beard's Revenge is a member of the SOL Record family along with Dallas Moore and Pure Grain.

Get tickets: http://ticketf.ly/1i80N82 Details: Sturgill Simpson w/ Red Beard's Revenge at The Southgate House Revival-Sanctuary Nashville sounds like Nashville again on High Top Mountain, the debut release from singer-songwriter Sturgill Simpson. From furious honky-tonk and pre-outlaw country-rocking to spellbinding bluegrass pickin' and emotional balladry, the album serves as a one-stop guide to everything that made real country music such a force to be reckoned with. Pure and uncompromising, devoid of gloss and fakery, High Top Mountain's dozen instant classics evoke the sound of timeless country in its many guises and brings back the lyrical forthrightness and depth that permeated the music Simpson absorbed during his Kentucky childhood.

Cincinnati, OH 7th M...See Full Bio
"Being the nucleus of his own musical career path has helped him gain tremendous experience that shows in everything James Funk does. The Musician's Showcase and Artist-in-Residence events he hosts take the presentation of performance to another level. Where other performers practice their sets to hone their musical craft, Funk expands his vision to include the perfect balance and positioning of sound, recording, lighting, and photos of the event. The amount of thought, instinct, and work ethic that go into selecting just the right lineup has yielded some very creative bills and will continue to do so. As James Funk puts it, "If you want it done right, hire a Marine"."

Patients suffer. Yet clinical care has moved away from addressing suffering. Suffering—"severe distress that threatens the integrity of the person"1—spans physical, emotional, social, spiritual, existential, and financial domains, and as a whole-person problem it doesn't fit neatly within current biomedical paradigms. Suffering occurs in many clinical contexts, not only at the end of life, and calls on us as physicians to address our patients as whole persons, particularly challenging in our age of specialization and atomization in medicine.

New Orleans police are looking for three people in connection with an aggravated battery that happened in the Marigny early Sunday morning.
Police said three men were standing in front of the Friendly Bar near Chartres and Marigny streets about 4:45 a.m. who wanted to speak with the victim.
Moments later, police said, the group of men followed the victim and began beating him near the corner of Chartres and Mandeville streets with a bottle.
Two witnesses who saw the incident happen called 911.
The victim suffered numerous lacerations and fractures to his face and was taken to the hospital for intensive care. Police said the victim will require cosmetic surgery.
The group of men in the attack didn't rob the man. Police said the victim still had his cash and cellphone and that nothing was taken from the victim.
The attack was seen on surveillance video. The video shows the group of men striking the victim in the head with bottles and continuing to beat the man while he was on the ground.
A detailed description of the three men who attacked the man wasn't available.
However, police hope that residents can help by viewing the surveillance video and calling them with additional information that could help lead to the arrests of the attackers.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111.

Delaware Animal Services, which provides animal control sheltering throughout the State of Delaware, saved 89% of cats, 93% of dogs, and 98% of other animals.
45,000 animals who otherwise faced being killed were adopted in a single day, emptying shelters across the country, erasing one week's worth of killing in the U.S., and making it the safest day for homeless animals in America ever.
The No Kill Advocacy Center, my organization, just finished analyzing sheltering statistics for the state of Michigan and I am glad to report that following nationwide trends, the percentage of animals leaving shelters alive increased over 2014.
We're trying to give our rescued fish the best possible life, but I'm at a loss.
86% of Colorado dogs were saved, 83% of cats were saved, 74% of birds, 87% of rabbits, 85% of "pocket pets" (other small mammals), 96% of reptiles, 83% of fish and "farmed" animals.
A toast to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness… for all of Earth's creatures.
"Saving one animal won't change the world, but it will change the world for that one animal."
Dallas wants to eliminate holding periods to kill animals right away. Austin more than doubled theirs as they recently passed one of the most rigorous, smart, and comprehensive holding period laws in the country.

QUICK RESPONSE VERSUS INTELLIGENT RESPONSEPosted in Anticipating A Crisis, Crisis Communication Strategy, Crisis Management, Crisis Management Planning, Crisis Management Response on July 27th, 2010 by admin
A maxim in crisis management is that you should control the dialogue. It is better to leap out in front rather than be reactive to questions and probing which often leads to the deer caught in headilghts phenomenon.
What is not said quite so often is that a quick response must be an intelligent response that is backed up by facts and knowledge. Which brings us to the Obama Administration. Early in his term President Obama held a press conference and was asked why it took him a couple of days before he made a statement on AIG bonuses. He gave the CNN reporter an icy stare and stated that he liked to know what he was talking about before he made public statements. Bravo I thought.

GroveWare Technologies Ltd. (GROV) – a provider of enterprise mobile solutions connecting workforces by mobile devices, is pleased to announce a technology services agreement with Latex Construction Co., based in Atlanta, Georgia. Under the terms of the agreement, GroveWare will supply its revolutionary mobile data collection and communication technologies (MobiTask™) in the field for Latex Construction, allowing the company to simultaneously increase efficiency and worker safety.
Introduced to GroveWare by Business Solutions partner Verizon Wireless, Latex Construction, specializes in Pipeline construction, under contract with Atlanta Gas Company, is qualified to do business in 37 states and enjoys one of the largest bonding capabilities in the U.S. with a stated emphasis on worker safety. GroveWare will assist Latex Construction using its MobiTask™ app which allows Latex field operatives to better enforce safety compliance and reporting onsite through a broad spectrum of mobile devices. The technology enables Latex Construction to create a paperless exchange of critical data from the field to the cloud where it can be recalled as needed.
"This is a critical step in the execution of our business plan," states GroveWare Technologies CEO, Hrair Achkarian. "The agreement gives us our largest account to date in an industry clamoring for greater efficiency and safety which is populated by well over five million workers and over 750,000 companies. Not only does this agreement add yet another vertical to the markets we're servicing but it will also provide a template and substantive case study to use when prospecting other potential clients. And like our previous construction industry accounts, this deal is designed to generate recurring revenue over a term of 3-5 years, contributing to construction related revenue we expect to exceed $2 million in 2013 alone."
"It is becoming evident that our technology is a game changer for the construction industry," said Achkarian. "MobiTask™ effectively prevents data loss by eliminating paper and allows the company to communicate to insurance companies and regulatory bodies in a much more efficient way, simultaneously reducing liability, fines, and other penalties while generally improving worker safety site-wide."

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

This can change pretty quickly if gold prices crack, but till that time a range bound trade scenario is likely for most stocks in the sector. Franco-Nevada is around 14% above its recent lows and has done slightly better than some stocks in the sector. The analysts do prefer royalty / streaming companies to the mining companies because the risk is higher in those companies. The consensus price target for the stock is around $54 which is more than 35% away from the current market price. However, this looks nearly impossible right now. If the prices of precious metals stabilize over next few months, then there may be a little more confidence in the stocks from this sector. Many believe that the crash in prices over the last few months has already factored most of the negatives for the sector. So there have been acquisitions, and even Franco-Nevada acquired royalty rights in a company recently. There are reports that it may do more such deals in the near future. Coeur D'Alene also hinted at some acquisitions of smaller companies in Nevada. It already has a 5% stake in Pershing Gold Corporation (PGLC) which is expected to start production in 2014. In a recent interview, Franco-Nevada Chairman had stated that the companies had gotten a bit carried away when the prices of gold were at the highs. They started mining lower and for lower grades which ultimately prove to be costly when the prices crashed. He believes that the Gold prices will rebound when the currencies correct in values. But at that time, there will surely be other things to worry about. The problem for Franco also lies in the valuations. It is trading at a forward P/E of 32 which is high as compared with the peers.

Banuelos, ranked by MLB.com as the No. 13 prospect in baseball entering 2012, will miss at least a week, although the team said there is no timetable on his return.
Banuelos, 21, has endured a rough start to the season with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, allowing 21 baserunners in 5 1/3 innings over two starts. He's 0-1 with a 10.13 ERA and has walked seven batters.
On Thursday, the Mexican southpaw issued six walks, allowing two runs on three hits over two frames at Buffalo. He was charged with four runs on 11 hits and a walk in his 2012 debut in Syracuse on April 7.
Banuelos was a MiLB.com Yankees Organization All-Star last year after going 6-7 with a 3.75 ERA in 27 starts between Trenton and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He competed for a spot on New York's Opening Day roster this spring but was assigned to Triple-A as expected.
Banuelos and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre are spending the entire season on the road as their ballpark, PNC Field in Moosic, Pa., undergoes renovations.
The Yankees promoted right-hander Chase Whitley from Double-A Trenton to replace Banuelos, and he ended up picking up the win in the Yankees' 7-5 victory in Buffalo on Friday, allowing one hit over four innings of relief. Whitley was a 15th rounder from 2010 out of Troy (Ala.) University who had struck out seven over four scoreless innings of relief in two appearances at Trenton.
