Debate the Rays' quality with Jayson Stark
THE CASE FORThere comes a point in every season where you are what your record says you are. When a team has the best record in the entire flipping sport halfway through the season, that point has officially arrived. Anyone who thinks this outfit isn't for real needs some serious reprogramming. The Rays have the best record in baseball since April 22 (41-21). They're No. 1 in the sport in Baseball Prospectus' Defensive Efficiency rankings. Opponents are hitting .211 against their bullpen -- which is the third-lowest average against any bullpen in the past half-century. And offensively, this team has gone from one of the least-disciplined lineups in baseball to one of the most. In case you hadn't noticed, Rays hitters have walked more times (300) than the Yankees (278), among other teams.
THE CASE AGAINSTObviously, there are arguments to be made for a bunch of other teams. The Cubs have the best run differential in baseball (plus-94). The White Sox have the best run differential in the American League (plus-85) and lead the nation in ERA (3.39). The Red Sox are the defending champs--and they're second in the major league in OPS and extra-base hits, even without David Ortiz. And the Angels are 31-14 against teams with winning records, and 27-15 on the road -- two stats that tell you a lot about a team.
THE VERDICTOK, here's an argument you can't use: How can they be the best team in baseball if they're the Rays? Sorry. That one doesn't work anymore. This team wins at home (26-6 at the Trop since April 22) and on the road (where, at 19-19, it's one of only four AL teams playing .500 or better away from home). And it isn't like these guys just beat up on the dregs of the MLB earth. They're the only team in baseball that has swept the Angels, Red Sox, Cubs and Marlins. And they're 40-26 against teams currently over .500. So there. I'm going to say it. This is the best team in baseball--right now, anyway. Care to disagree? That's what we're here for.
Every week, we'll give you the topic and then we'll have one of our writers stopping by to debate the issue with you. To suggest a topic for "That's Debatable," go here. Or check out the full archive.
Stark Archive: Chats | Columns
Jayson Stark (1:02 PM)
I have a feeling this could be a wild hour. I just fastened my seat belt and placed my tray table in the full upright and locked position. so let's get gonig.
al (DC)
Jayson- its easy to say right now the Rays are the best team. But what if you had to pick teh world series winner? would you choose the Rays? I think not...
Jayson Stark (1:04 PM)
Why not? Because it says "Rays" on the front of their shirts? The fact is, I think this team could even play BETTER in the second half. Carlos Pena hasn't hit yet and just came off the DL. Carl Crawford is 20 points under his career average. BJ Upton only has four homers. They have the prospects and the motivation to make a big deal or two. And they have prospects like David Price who could make a giant impact at some point. So why not? That's my question.
Mike (Tallahassee, FL)
This debate would be a lot easier if it took place this Thursday, after the huge series at the Trop this week. I believe that the one team that may be better than the Rays is the Red Sox. It will be interesting to see how Tampa Bay handles there position in the standings and there play on the field. It doesn't help Boston's case that they have to face Shields, Garza, and Kazmir. I think the answer to this debate will make itself clear if we are just a little patient.
Jayson Stark (1:06 PM)
That's true. If we wait till October, then we'll know for sure. But I agree with you. The Red Sox and Rays rank 1-2 in some order. It's interesting that neither team has won a game yet in the other team's park. So if that holds for the next three days, the Rays will be 3 1/2 up by the end of the week.
Eric (NYC)
I think the only argument you can make AGAINST the Rays is that they are a young team, and may falter under the pressure of a pennant race. Although I don't put much stock in that line of reasoning.
Jayson Stark (1:09 PM)
I actually don't think that's the best argument. If I were them, I'd worry more about the age of the bullpen than I would about the youth of some of these players. They've completely transformed the mindset of these guys as a group. At this point, I don't think THEY feel like they're a fluke. And that's a big part of the equation. I do think that getting a veteran, October-proven starting pitcher to front the young guys in the rotation would be a major asset as they head into September and October.
Dave: Tampa, FL
Your comment on the Rays being the best team in baseball right now is fair. They play great small ball baseball and they are an exciting team to watch. It's great to see experience catch up to the talent the Rays have had for years.
Jayson Stark (1:11 PM)
You know the one comment I hear all the time from scouts and executives of other teams about the Rays? That they're "fun to watch." There isn't a week that goes by when somebody doesn't make that observation. You don't hear that much from the opposition. So while "fun factor" isn't normally part of these best-team-in-baseball debates, I think it's fair to introduce it in this team's case.
Sean (HI)
The Rays might be playing the best baseball at the moment. However, longterm, their lineup and bullpen rely heavily on players who are putting up career seasons. Is Eric Hinske going to continue his torrid pace? Is JP Howell a legitimate setup man? Are Edwin Jackson and Andy Sonnanstine sufficient? The best baseball teams have talented veteran nuclei to whom the unproven youth can look when they begin to wear down. There are few veterans on this roster (Troy Percival comes to mind) who fit the bill.
Jayson Stark (1:14 PM)
That's a reasonable argument, Sean. But I think we've all tended to use name recognition too heavily in assessing who the "best" teams are. And what we're finding is that young energy is better than old famous guys. I agree that it isn't reasonable to expect Eric Hinske to keep this up. But Jackson and Sonnanstine are very useful back-of-the-rotation arms -- better than, say, the Yankees run out there, for instance. And Howell looks like he's for real. So we'll see.
Darek (chicago)
What are the chances of them getting another starter ? They will contend, I think they are for real, but they need another experienced arm if they want to get far in October....
Jayson Stark (1:15 PM)
I don't want to turn this into a trading-deadline chat, because that's not the purpose. But the management strategy of this group is to go for it when they've got the chance, because they recognize that they won't always have the opportunity to win in this division. So I think they'll make a serious run at Sabathia, and others.
al (DC)
To me the playoffs come down to pitching -- outside of Shields/Kazmir, i dont have much faith in their pitchers. The bullpen has been good, but it is brittle and the history isnt quite there. Garza is a good 3, but other teams have better ones...i like the angels
Jayson Stark (1:18 PM)
You know, it's easy to fall in love with the Angels when you watch them play. But I don't know how to argue that they're better than the Rays. They have a worse team ERA. Tampa Bay has outscored them by 42 runs and is ahead of them in OPS by nearly 60 points. They play similar styles, because of Joe Maddon's Angels roots. But to be honest, the Rays play that style better than the Angels do right now, I think.
Travis: Saint Petersburg FL
I can see the Rays contending for one reason alone: Defense! I am hear to tell you that Longoria will win a handful of Gold Gloves in his career. The thing that scares me about this team is young arms. Similar to the Tigers run, the majority of the guys have not been stetched to over 200 innings as a professional and that means tired arms in September and October. It will be exciting though.
Jayson Stark (1:19 PM)
That's a great, great point. Are they going to get enough innings out of their starters to survive the marathon? One more reason to add a rotation arm.
Daniel FL
Youth isn't a big issue with this team? Try saying that in September when the real pressures of a tight playoff race begin to build up. That is when i believe this team will begin to lose its swagger.
Jayson Stark (1:21 PM)
I understand the reasoning. I do. I'm a believer in track record myself, and most of these guys have no track record in this setting. But did the 2003 Marlins have a track record? That was one of the youngest teams in baseball, and a team built around young starting pitching, and we know how that worked out. So why is there not enough talent in Tampa Bay to have that same story play out?
Matt (Weston, FL)
I dont think they're the best team in baseball because you can't expect guys like Hinske, Sonnanstine, Navarro, Bartlett, and Gabe Gross to keep carrying them. And can their bullpen keep up what they've been doing for the whole year? The whole team is pitching in right now, but I don't think all of those unproven players are going to keep doing so well.
Jayson Stark (1:23 PM)
Since when is that group "carrying them?" They've gotten production from that whole group. But the best thing you can say about this team is that nobody has really carried it. It's amazing how many players have played a part.
Pitching wins championships. The Red Sox are better simply because of their tremendous quality depth in the rotation. Could the rays afford to lose Dice-k ( or one of their top 2) for a month? Meanwhile, the sox are able to give extra rest to their starters and take extra precaution on injuries (not rushing Ortiz back either it looks like). This sox team is significantly less scary than the theoretical October Sox.
Jayson Stark (1:25 PM)
Good point, but the Rays DID lose their best starter for a month -- Kazmir -- and survived. Here's the Quality Start count: Red Sox 45, Rays 42. So it's closer than you think.
Robert (Temecula, CA)
The fact that I can make this statement proves the Rays really are for real. That said, the Rays are unlikely to make the playoffs by virtue of schedule: 36 games against the Yankees and Red Sox; they aren't as good as the Sox (tho better than the Yanks), and scheduling makes it too hard to win the wild card.
Jayson Stark (1:29 PM)
You would think so. But as I said at the beginning of this chat, they've played great against the good teams, and they've compiled this record while playing one of the toughest schedules in baseball. They've already played five series against the Red Sox and Yankees, so why would their second half schedule be more challenging than what they've faced so far?
Mike, Philadelphia
IF the rays got Sabathia, isn't that the best rotation by far in MLB: Sabathia, Kazmir, Shields, Garza and Jackson/Sonnenstine 5? thats downright intimidating.
Jayson Stark (1:30 PM)
It would be right up there, anyway. If the White Sox, Red Sox or Angels were better, it sure wouldn't be by much.
John (philly)
If you take this entire roster from the Rays and put them in a yankees uniform would we even be having this discussion right now?
Jayson Stark (1:31 PM)
I don't think so. I think people are automatically skeptical because of the names on the shirts. But anyone paying attention would see this was real.
Bryan (Tampa)
Actually only 9 remaining games vs the Sox this year (6 in Tampa)/ and 8 vs the Yanks (3 in Tampa). 2nd half of the year is far more friendly schedule.
Jayson Stark (1:32 PM)
Thanks. That's what I mean. Of course, I understand there's more pressure when you play those teams in September than when you play them in April. But strength of schedule was the issue, and it's no stronger in the second half than it was in the first.
Justin (Boston)
Boston is 6-3 against the Rays this year and have a better run differential. The Rays have had a very good year (although having the #1 pick every year for like a decade helps), but I don't see how any sane, baseball-watching person can say Tampa is better than Boston.
Jayson Stark (1:36 PM)
So I guess I'm officially insane. I would never bet against the Red Sox, but the Rays don't have a bad run differential themselves (plus-55). And all of the Red Sox wins against them have come in Fenway. So this jury doesn't think you have to be insane to say the Rays are better. Again, check those standings.
Sean (New Lenox, IL)
Don't the standings alone speak for themselves? The best team in baseball so far is the team with the best record playing in one of the toughest divisions. That team is the Rays.
Jayson Stark (1:37 PM)
Good segueway! Exactly my point. It's not like they were playing in the NL West in the first half, and now they're being transferred to the AL East. They've been playing this schedule all year.
Rusty Broome, Boston
The Rays are a half a game up on the Red Sox. The Red Sox have had to deal with injuries, and don't forget that trip to Japan which everybody seems to agree will throw your whole team off for a week or two. All the Rays have had to deal with is people talking about what a great story they are.
Jayson Stark (1:39 PM)
Rusty, it's a little late to use Japan as an excuse, buddy,.The Red Sox were 3 1/2 up on this team a few weeks ago, and 2 1/2 up in the last two weeks -- three months after they left Tokyo. So I'm not buying that. And let me point out again that Tampa Bay lost its best starting pitcher for a month AND last year's team MVP (Pena) just came off the DL. So pay attention!
Paul (NYC)
About 3 years ago to the day, the Nats (first year in DC) were something like 51-31 and considered one of the best teams in baseball. I believe they went on to finish under .500 for the year. There's a lot of baseball left to be played.
Jayson Stark (1:41 PM)
I agree there's a lot of baseball left to be played. But there's a gigantic difference between this team and those Nationals: That team was viewed as a fluke from day one. This team has been viewed as a team on the rise that just started rising a little earlier than anybody figured. Go back to the winter and read what people like myself, Buster, Gammons and Jerry Crasnick were writing about Tampa Bay. Everybody saw this coming. Just not quite this fast.
Niko (Boston)
The Sox have a better offense, a better bullpen, and an equal starting rotation with Beckett, Dice-K and Lester matching up with the Rays top three. They are a better team.
Jayson Stark (1:43 PM)
This is an interesting discussion point. Seems to me the Red Sox are actually worried about their bullpen, or at least the non-Papelbonian part of it. So far, Tampa Bay has had the better bullpen. I'll concede offense to Boston. But if the top three in the rotations is "equal" and Tampa Bay has had the better bullpen, isn't this a wash, at the very least?
Ryan (Washington, DC)
The difference between the difficulty of first half and second half games versus the Red Sox and Yankees amounts too a few things. First, both teams will make moves at the trade deadline to get better (whether large or small, they will do something). The Rays have typically not been able to get any deals done (admittedly, this may be why they are coming together as a solid team now). Second, with regards to the Yankees, they have been a second half team for quite a few years now. It seems like they are always 4-7 games back at mid-season, but coming roaring back in the end. Lastly, both have underperformed to date where as the Rays have over-performed. Only time will tell, and maybe the Rays can hold off the Yankees, but not the Red Sox.
Jayson Stark (1:47 PM)
OK, I agree with you on the trading deadline. And I'm not writing off the Yankees with half a season to go. But I'm not sure I see where the Rays have "over-performed." Just because their record may be surprising doesn't mean they've "over-performed." Let me ask you this: Who in their lineup is having an all-time career year? Hinske is having a bounce-back season, but not a career year. Evan Longoria is doing what everyone thought he'd do. But isn't most of this group actually "under-performing" compared to career norms, or at least recent career norms? I'd argue yes.
Philip (Huntsville)
No love for the ChiSox or Angels. I agree that Tampa is fantastic but you guys make it seem like it is a 2 team race. The White Sox have had better pitching then both Boston and Tampa and lead the AL in HR's and run differential.
Jayson Stark (1:49 PM)
I've had 1,000 questions or comments so far in this chat, and believe it or not, yours is the first I've seen arguing that the White Sox are better than either of them. That's a totally valid argument, by the way. But I worry about teams with offenses that are built around the home run. And if you check the Elias Says column today, you'll see that the White Sox are the AL's chief offender in that category. Tampa Bay, on the other hand, can manufacture runs with its legs any time it needs to. And one more thing: the difference in runs scored is only 14 runs (barely more than a run a week). So it's hardly dramatic.
Jacob (Mpls)
The Red Sox are actually one above their Expected W-L record. 50-34 v 49-35
Jayson Stark (1:51 PM)
So you're saying they're actually the team that's "over-performing." Right? But one win isn't real tangible over-performance. Last I looked, by the way, Tampa Bay was actually below its expected won-lost.
Jeff (Tampa, FL)
SOX have better Bullpen?!? Rays pen: 3.17 ERA, .211 BAA, 1.19 WHIP Sox pen: 3.89 ERA, .250 BAA, 1.40 WHIP That WHIP difference says it all to anyone that know their stats!
Jayson Stark (1:52 PM)
Thanks for the numbers, Jeff. We rest our case.
Rytor (CT)
The Rays have swept the Angels, the Red Sox, the Cubs, the Marlins, the Orioles, and the White Sox. How many sweeps do the Sox have? (I'm not being sarcastic, I'm honestly not sure.)
Jayson Stark (1:53 PM)
They've swept Tampa Bay twice at home and also swept the Rangers, Brewers and Royals -- all in Fenway.
Nando, DelRay Beach, FL
Not to be a Sox apologist, but not only did they lose DiceK for 4 starts, they lost Beckett for 5, Bucholtz for 3 (then Colon, which is why you have Masterson still up), Ortiz for 5 weeks and counting and Lowell for a month. The Rays are where they are, but you're telling me they'd be there without Kazmir for 4 starts, Shields for 4 starts, and 2 of their top 4 offensive starters for a month plus each? Please.
Jayson Stark (1:55 PM)
This is a reasonable point. I'm not accepting any mention of Colon's loss as valid, since nobody expected him to stay healthy. He's just there as a hole-plugger. But would the Rays be where they are without Kazmir AND Shields? I think it's fair to say no. But this isn't a what-if chat. This is a what-is chat.
Otto (CA)
After this week the Rays will have played 12 less road games than Boston. That's huge.
Jayson Stark (1:56 PM)
Another good point -- if it were true. In fact, the difference is only five by my count. But remember, the Rays have actually been the better road team (19-19 versus 19-24).
Joe (Grand Rapids, MI)
The Rays also have the hardest strength of schedule as well(.534) ahead of the Red Sox(.519), White Sox (.518), and Angels (.507).
Jayson Stark (1:58 PM)
More good info, Joe. Best record in baseball. Hardest strength of schedule in baseball. Yet people still don't want to believe. What are you folks missing?
Bill (North Attleboro, MA)
The Rays have had injuries too. Pena, Kazmir, Percival, Floyd. Worth noting that Longoria missed a good chunk because he wasn't even called up until later in the season. I would argue that list matches up in terms of what they mean to the team with the list of Sox players missing time, or players from any team for that matter.
Jayson Stark (2:00 PM)
I'm not sure how to determine whether this is equivalent to the Red Sox or not. But if your point is that the Rays have done this without enjoying extraordinary health luck, then we're in agreement.
Jayson Stark (2:00 PM)
OK, it's that time again. We only have time for one more. Let's make it eloquent!
Rob(Fairfax, VA.)
Love ya Jayson and you make an interesting argument....but lets wait and see how the Rays react to pressure in September before annoiting them the "best' tag...We have pretty convincing history of how the Red Sox, Yankees and Angels players will react to pressure, but the Rays have no pennant race experience .
Jayson Stark (2:03 PM)
Rob, you're right about this. We have no idea how these players will handle the pressure games of August, September and possibly beyond. But we're debating who's the best team in baseball RIGHT NOW, aren't we? And as I think we've proven, there's a compelling case to be made for this team. If the Rays' first half matches their second, they'll win 98 games. No team in history has ever had the worst record in baseball one year and won 98 games the next. So this isn't just the best team in baseball. It's turning into one of the best stories in baseball history.
Jayson Stark (2:03 PM)
Thanks again to everybody who participated. This has been one of the most interesting debate chats of the year. See you all again next week in Debate Land.

Fischer: The Bachmanns Are Victims Of A Hate Crime Based On Their Heterosexual Orientation
Bryan Fischer has been dedicating a lot of airtime on his radio program this week to defending Michele and Marcus Bachmann in the wake of reports Marcus' clinic practices and promotes "ex-gay therapy."
And it was a topic to which he returned today, where he claimed that the Bachmanns were the victims of religious discrimination and a hate crime "based on their sexual orientation":
The Bible teaches that a change in sexual orientation is possible. This is a biblical principle, it is a biblical proclamation, it is a biblical assertion and Marcus Bachmann and his wife Michele Bachmann believe that. They believe that sexual orientation, a change in sexual orientation, is possible because that's what the Bible teaches. So that makes this attack on them a blatant example of religious bigotry.
They have been the victims of religious discrimination. They have been the victims of religious bigotry, of bigotry and discrimination and hatred that is directed against them because of their religious beliefs. In other words, this is bordering on a hate crime. You could also make the point that this bigotry against the Bachmanns is based on their sexual orientation. They have a heterosexual orientation and pro-homosexual bigots are trying to discriminate against them, they're trying to threaten them, they're trying to harass them because of their normal orientation, their heterosexual orientation.

achievement difficulty and estimated time=?
I have just got this game but am still considering if I should begin to play it just yet. There isn't any road map for this game, so is there anyone, who has 200gs and can post an estimated time and achievement difficulty (out of ten) for it, please? :-)
This game takes alot of skill and i would rate it 9/10, i dont think there is a guide but there are alot of tips on this forum to help you achieve the 200 gamerscore
this is the hardest game ever and it's completely impossible you would be better off getting that drum line ach in the black college football game this is one of those early XBLA games where the developers seemed to think an ach was something only 3 people on the planet earth should be able to accomplish
Personally I found this game really easy. 3/10 and probably like 2-6hours to finsh?

is heading into the sweet spot months.... we forecast strong upside moves into the new year
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Machines are playing games United. They might hold this down until february and pop it up 50% then. Either way, I'm not going anywhere. I will be making 50% sometime in the next year. Not going to wait me out. They always play the same games(those who control the volume)
Most stocks trade in a range between earnings unless some expectations aren't priced in and the market wants to overprice in those expectations(under armour in my opinion is in that category the last two months).
For other companies like Deckers, which is currently a 4th quater company, if the market were to price it at 3B or higher RIGHT NOW, Deckers would be fairly priced for full year 2013 and in my opinion would just sell off after 4th quater results from a valuation today of 3-3.5B.
But right now we are 50% below those values and we have 6 months or so until full year 2013 results are reported, so 50% upside over the next 6 months IS NOT PRICED in yet. But it requires buying in and patience. Waiting for those earnings to come and GETTING THE POP as opposed to paying up and watching your stock fall in value as you wait for the stock to get priced at 4.5-5B for full year 2014, and then 6-8B for full year 2015.
Just requires patience. People need to take up hobbies. I like flipping quarters ;)

No need to use a (strange) visual metaphor. Hockey photos with sharp headlines would have been more effective.

EAC Shares Jump Most in 21 Months After Selling Industrial Unit
EAC A/S, the Danish meat and relocation company operating in Venezuela and Asia, rose the most in 21 months after selling its industrial ingredients unit for a price that exceeded some analyst valuations.
EAC climbed as much as 18 percent after the Copenhagen- based company said it had agreed to sell the unit to Brenntag Holding BV, a German chemicals distributor owned by BC Partners Ltd, for 1.2 billion kroner ($202 million) or 500 million kroner above the book value.
"It's a really good price," Rune Moeller, an analyst at Silkeborg, Denmark-based Jyske Bank A/S, said by phone. "There's a lot of value in EAC but so far the share price has been under pressure because of what's happening in Venezuela." Jyske rates the shares "reduce."
EAC's profit dropped last year after Venezuela, where the company is the largest processed meats manufacturer, devalued its currency. Hyperinflation in the South American country also has delayed payment to the parent company of profits from the Venezuelan unit, which operates under the Plumrose brand. Before today, EAC shares had lost 27 percent in the last 12 months.
EAC rose 16.50 kroner, or 13 percent, to 143 kroner at 11:12 a.m. in Copenhagen trading, the biggest intraday gain since October 2008. The advance lifted EAC's share market value to 1.96 billion kroner.
The industrial unit has failed to grow enough during recent years, making it less able to compete for possible acquisitions against larger global chemical distributors now entering the market, EAC said. Selling the division, which makes ingredients for paint strippers, metal cleaners, electroplating, diapers, and compressors, will enable EAC's remaining two units, the Venezuelan operations and EAC Moving and Relocation Service, to make acquisitions, EAC said.

The Medical Genetics Residency Program at the University of Colorado Denver School of Medicine (UCDSOM) is an integral part of the comprehensive Human Medical Genetics Program at the University of Colorado Denver (UCD) which also includes a Ph.D. Program in Human Medical Genetics and a graduate (masters) program in Genetic Counseling. The 2-year Residency Program is accredited by the American Council for Graduate Medical Education, and residents completing the program achieve active candidate status to sit for the American Board of Medical Genetics & Genomics (ABMGG) examination in Clinical Genetics.
Based on the resident's interest, additional subspecialty training in Molecular Genetics, Biochemical Genetics, or Cytogenetics may be available. ABMG eligibility in any of these additional disciplines requires a year of training to be added to the residency. Residents interested in careers as physician scientists are encouraged to extend their training at UCD by one or two years in order to pursue opportunities involving bench research. The residency's association with the UCD Human Medical Genetic Program provides opportunities in a broad range of laboratories. Candidates interested in more details about training as physician scientists are asked to contact the Residency Director, Dr. Anne Tsai or the Directory of the Human Medical Genetic Program, Dr. Richard Spritz. Human Genetics & Genomics
Clinical medical geneticists are physicians who provide comprehensive diagnostic, management, and genetic counseling services for patients with genetic, or possible, genetic disorders. They also plan and coordinate large-scale screening programs for inborn errors of metabolism, hemoglobinopathies, chromosome abnormalities, neural tube defects, and other genetically influenced conditions.
Clinical medical geneticists are able to (a) diagnose and manage genetic disorders; (b) provide patient and family counseling; (c) use their knowledge of heterogeneity, variability and natural history of genetic disorders in patient care decision making; (d) elicit and interpret individual and family medical histories; (e) interpret clinical genetic and specialized laboratory testing information; (f) explain the causes and natural history of genetic disorders and genetic risk assessment; and (g) interact with other healthcare professionals in the provision of services for patients with genetically influenced disorders.
This two year program is divided into eight 3-month block rotations, four per year. The residents always begin on either General Genetics/Dysmorphology or the Inherited Metabolic Diseases rotations. The order of rotations, thereafter, can be somewhat flexible; however, Adult Genetics and Prenatal clinics and laboratory rotations occur during the first year and the remaining rotations occur during the second year.
Each resident will serve three months on rotation on the General Genetics/Dysmorphology outpatient and inpatient service, and three months on the Inherited Metabolic Diseases (IMD) outpatient and inpatient service. These rotations will involve patient evaluations at University Hospital and Children's Hospital Colorado. The resident is expected to evaluate 150 patients per year. Each resident will attend all weekly genetic seminars and conferences which includes Wednesday journal club and diagnostic dilemma conference, Thursday IMD post-clinic conference (while on IMD rotation), Monday metabolic laboratory conference (while on IMD rotation), and monthly genetics radiology conference. The resident is also expected to attend the required didactic classes that occur throughout the first. While on their general genetics rotation, the residents are expected to participate in the Skeletal Dysplasia, 22q11 Deletion Syndrome, and Special Care clinics. They are also expected to participate in the Mitochondrial clinic and the Colorado Springs IMD clinic while rotating in the IMD clinic. The second half of the year, each resident will be expected to do a three (3) month rotation in Prenatal Diagnosis and Adult Genetics clinic and a three (3) month laboratory rotation which includes one month in each of the following laboratories: cytogenetics, biochemical, and molecular laboratories. During the laboratory rotation, the resident is required to attend two regional genetics clinics per month.
In the second year of training, each resident will spend three months in the General Genetics/Dysmorphology outpatient and inpatient service and three months in the Inherited Metabolic Diseases (IMD) outpatient and inpatient service. The rotation and clinic expectations are the same as the first year; however, Neurogenetics clinics are added during the general genetics rotation.
In addition, each resident will have a three (3) month rotation in the Hereditary Cancer clinic and subspecialty clinics as well as a three (3) month research rotation. During the subspecialty clinics rotation, the resident is required to attend and actively participate in the Neurocutaneous, Neuromuscular, Oncology, Down Syndrome, and Cardiac clinics. The resident is required to attend at least four clinics of each during the three month rotation. They are then allowed to choose two or three other clinics which to attend and participate. Available clinics include the following: Hereditary Cancer, Hemophilia, Sickle Cell, Cystic Fibrosis, Cleft Palate/Hearing Loss, Ophthalmology, Spina Bifida, Epidermolysis Bullosa, Autism, Fragile X, Extraordinary Kids Clinic, Prader-Willie Syndrome, Rett Syndrome, Turner Syndrome, and Genetic Skin Disorders. Research time will be protected from clinical duties as much as possible. During the year the resident is expected to see approximately 75 patients. The resident will attend the remaining required didactic courses and should attend all of the weekly genetic seminars and conferences.
During the six months of the General Genetics/Dysmorphology rotation, the residents are on first call during working hours for two weeks (10 days) per month. Due to the generally low volume of calls at night and on weekends, there is no night or weekend call. Exceptions to this, however, can be made. The on-call genetic faculty may call the resident on rotation during the off hours anytime there is a consult for a rare condition or if the consult has significant educational value for other reasons. Working hours call coverage largely includes phone consultations from care providers, either from within the hospital or community providers. Responses to these calls are discussed with the covering attending physician. A monthly call schedule is made in advance with residents being allowed to request their weeks as desired. The call schedule, as requested by the resident, must comply with duty hour guidelines. The schedule is also flexible regarding special requests for time off and holiday and vacation requests. Throughout the entire rotation, the resident is also notified of each request for inpatient consultation. Unless the consult is urgent and the resident is unable to attend (didactic course, other clinical activity), the resident is the first to respond to all inpatient consults.
During the six month rotation in the Inherited Metabolic Disease Clinic, the residents are on first call both day and night for two weeks per month and two weekends per month. Call coverage includes phone consultations from care providers, after-hours phone calls from families and physicians, and following patients hospitalized at an outside facility. A monthly call schedule is made in advance; residents are allowed to request their weeks and weekends as desired. The call schedule, as requested by the resident, must comply with duty hour guidelines and residents will not be allowed to take two consecutive weeks in a row without intervening time off. The schedule is also flexible regarding special requests for time off and holiday and vacation requests. There is no in-house nighttime call. Evening and nighttime call is taken from home. Residents are expected to come into the hospital in the night or on weekends when an urgent consult is requested. During the entire rotation, the resident is responsible for all new inpatient consultations, including new night and weekend consults, when on call. The resident is also responsible for daily inpatient rounds, as necessary, on metabolic patients and/or consults who remain hospitalized. In addition, the resident is responsible for any admissions planned by the metabolic service.
The residents have a three month laboratory rotation which includes one month each in the cytogenetics laboratory, the molecular genetics laboratory, and the biochemical genetics laboratory. The goal of these rotations is for the residents to (a) learn what techniques are used for the diagnostic tests and what specimen is appropriate for each test, (b) learn the interpretation of the results in regard to its clinical significance and to learn what other tests are indicated to clarify any ambiguity or further define an abnormality, (c) become aware of the regulations and guidelines under which a laboratory is required to operate, (d) become proficient at reporting laboratory results back to the ordering care providers, and (e) become familiar with laboratory workflow and administration.
The UCD Biochemical Genetics focuses on lab procedures relevant to the diagnosis and management of amino and organic acidemias and disorders of fatty acid oxidation. Analyses presently offered include amino acid screening and quantitation; organic acid screening; quantitation of succinylacetone and glutaric, 3-hydroxyglutaric, orotic, methylmalonic, and N-acetyl aspartic acids by stable isotope dilution gc-ms; screening and qualitative analysis of mucopolysaccharides; profiling of acylcarnitines by tandem mass spectrometry; and enzyme assays for very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase, electron transfer flavoprotein (ETF), and ETF-ubiquinone oxidoreductase. The laboratory has been CAP accredited for over twenty years.
The molecular laboratory has become a worldwide referral center for molecular testing for inborn errors of metabolism, pigmentation disorders, and diseases of the eye in addition to offering testing for common disorders such as the Fragile X syndrome, cystic fibrosis and thrombophilia. The laboratory currently process approximately 3500 samples per year and offers testing for over 150 genes. The laboratory serves as a core center for isolation of DNA from blood and other tissues for many projects on the Anschutz Medical Campus, including the CTSI. Advanced molecular testing, such as duplication/deletion chips and exome sequencing, are in development. UC Genetics Link
The Colorado Genetics Laboratory (CGL) of University of Colorado Denver is a full-service state of the art clinical cytogenetics, molecular genetics, education and research laboratory. With a rich history as a leader, early milestones included automated karyotyping (1986), clinical fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH, 1991), and comparative genomic hybridization (CGH, 1992) in addition to standard cytogenetic testing. Clinical sample volume approaches 12,000 samples/year of postnatal, prenatal, and cancer including paraffin embedded samples. Rapidly expanding chromosomal microarray (CMA) genomic testing has been offered clinically since 2006, with a high density CMA/SNP array since 2014.
Throughout the two years of medical genetics residency training, five formal didactic courses are required. The timing of the courses varies depending upon the class schedule and the resident's current responsibilities and rotations. The following classes are required:
The classes are coordinated through the graduate genetic counseling program except where noted above. A log of attendance must be kept by the resident and submitted to the program director every three months. In addition, an ethics course is recommended and options to pursue this are discussed with the resident. Further, the Department of Pediatrics offers an evening fellows lecture series to which the medical genetics residents are invited and encouraged to attend.

*** Conference dates & times are subject to change
Residents participating in the University of Colorado Medical Genetics Residency Program must complete a Capstone Project. This is a mentored scholarly project relevant to the field of genetics which is to be initiated during the second half of the first year and completed during the spring semester of the second year. Each project will culminate in a formal paper and/or other written product of publishable quality. Residents will present their completed projects at one of the Wednesday conference in spring semester of their second year. Additionally, residents will be encouraged to present their projects at a campus research/poster forum, submit them as abstracts for poster or platform presentation at national meetings, and/or submit them for publication, if appropriate.
Eligible projects
To meet the diverse interests of residents entering the genetics profession, several types of projects may be appropriate for a Capstone. These may include a detailed case study and literature review, a clinical or laboratory-based research project addressing a question(s) with direct relevance to clinical genetics practice, a formal needs assessment, a secondary analysis of existing data (e.g. related to a genetic services delivery issue), or development of educational materials/programs (e.g. development/evaluation of clinical practice tools, creation/evaluation of substantive informational materials to benefit individuals/families impacted by genetic conditions, development/evaluation of a professional educational program). Ideas for projects can be proposed by residents or potential mentors; however, approval of a project will be dependent on the identification of a primary mentor who has the time and can commit to working closely with the resident in order to ensure successful completion of the proposed project.
Other considerations in selecting projects
Due to the very long lead time frequently required for review, revision, and approval of project proposals requiring full review by COMIRB, residents and their committees who are pursuing research involving human subjects are advised to undertake projects that are eligible for exempt (preferred) or expedited review status. In the event that a project requiring full review is proposed, a minimum of 3 months should be incorporated into the project timeline between date of submission of the proposal to COMIRB and anticipated completion of COMIRB review. Research involving human subjects cannot commence until IRB approval or exemption is received. Projects should be of a well-defined, realistic scope to ensure that they can realistically be completed no later than April of the resident's second year so that the resident and reviewers can meet deadlines and requirements for on-time program completion.
Each resident will be required to form a Capstone committee consisting, at the minimum, of a primary mentor and one secondary advisor. Together, the committee members will assist the resident with proposal and timeline development, and will meet regularly with the resident for work-in-progress meetings to track progress and provide review and mentorship.
Each resident will be given three months of research time. This time may be used to work on the Capstone project or to work on another research/scholarly project. The goal is for the resident to become involved in a clinical or bench research project which results in submission of an abstract or preparation of a manuscript. The goal of this research time is to learn (a) research methodology and clinical research study, (b) informed consent and IRB approval processes, (c) evaluation of the results, including the utilization of statistical methods, and (d) experience writing and submission of an abstract and/or a manuscript. Upon completion of the research months, the resident is required to submit a written summary of his/her activities during that time which includes concept, disorder, or topic investigated, techniques or methodology utilized, research outcome, and possible future plans for research. If applicable, the resident will be required to present his/her research and findings as part of the Wednesday Journal Club and Diagnostic Dilemma conference.
Other Scholarly Activities
In addition to the formal research rotation, the residents are encouraged to participate in scholarly activities throughout the two years of residency. Attendance and submission of abstracts or presentations to local, regional, or national meetings is encouraged. The resident is required to provide the residency coordinator with copies of all abstracts, posters, presentations, and publications. In addition, teaching opportunities will be directed by the faculty to the resident and a faculty member will be available to assist the resident in presentation development. An outline of the presentation and/or a copy of the objectives or handout will also be given to the residency coordinator. If possible, a faculty member will attend the presentation and provide feedback to the resident regarding his/her teaching skills. Obtaining written teaching evaluations from the audience is encouraged.

Do self-identified bisexual men and women actually show bisexual patterns of sexual attraction and interest? To answer this question, I studied bisexual men's and women's sexual attraction to photographed male and female "swimsuit models" that varied in attractiveness. Participants (663 college students and gay pride attendees, including 14 self-identified bisexual men and 17 self-identified bisexual women) rated their degree of sexual attraction to 34 male and 34 female swimsuit models. Participants' viewing times to models were unobtrusively assessed. Results showed that bisexual men and women showed bisexual patterns of attraction and viewing times to photo models, which strongly distinguished them from same-sex heterosexual and homosexual participants. In contrast to other groups, which showed evidence of greater male than female category specificity, bisexual men and women did not differ in category specificity. Results suggest that there are subsets of men and women who display truly bisexual patterns of sexual attraction and interest.

Wright Medical CEO Resigns After Doctor Kickback Settlement
Wright Medical Group Inc., the artificial-joint maker that last year settled U.S. accusations it paid doctors to use its products, fell the most in more than two years after its chief executive officer resigned.
Wright fell $2.08, or 12 percent, to $15.05 at 4 p.m. in Nasdaq Stock Market composite trading, for its biggest one-day decline since March 2, 2009. The shares have fallen 15 percent in the past 12 months.
Gary D. Henley, CEO since 2006, resigned yesterday before a board meeting called to discuss management's oversight of the company's "ongoing compliance program," Arlington, Tennessee-based Wright said in a statement today. David D. Stevens, the board chairman, has been appointed interim CEO until a replacement can be found, the company said.
Wright said Sept. 30 that it would pay $7.9 million to resolve criminal and civil investigations into whether it paid kickbacks to induce doctors to use its hip and knee devices. Prosecutors in Newark, New Jersey, agreed to drop the case in 12 months if a monitor agrees that Wright has reformed the way it hires consultants.
"Wright Medical is committed to maintaining the highest standards of ethical conduct and to complying strictly with the laws and regulations that govern our business practices," Stevens said in the statement. "These leadership changes underscore that Wright Medical is committed to compliance at all levels of the organization and to exemplary corporate citizenship."
The company said it had also fired Frank S. Bono, Wright's senior vice-president and chief technology officer, "for failing to exhibit appropriate regard for the company's ongoing compliance program." Henley has also resigned his position on the board of directors.
A spokesman, Nicholas Lamplough, declined to discuss the moves further in a telephone interview.

I like this phone..the design is really cool but i dislike the speaker is slow compare with samsung chat E222..
I even unhear alarm clock and the ringtone volume level 5 is so slow.
Nokia must enhance the sound speaker quality..just like samsung which have DNse & Sony with bass..
Users need app Maps preinstall or provide to nokia store for free download as soon as possible . There is no Maps for install in Nokia Store!
its a good mobile. easy features only 2 problems are there
1. when i kept on charging back cover and battery stated heat.
2. i cannot put smiles on watsapp after typing.
The only thing in the review that is slightly confusing is:
"The QWERTY keyboard is the only thing we're not so impressed with."
-and- the next page,
"The physical QWERTY keyboard is an added bonus for the heavy texter - it can run circles around regular 12-button numpads."
I guess they're not contradictions of each other. I guess you're saying a bad QWERTY is a lot better than a good numpad.
Thanks for the great review. I think you've sold me on my next phone.
crx, 27 Jun 2012I can't decide... Asha 302 or Blackberry 8520. Any sugestions?asha much better, even better functionality, much better value for money
nokia asha 302 or c3??
and will whatsapp work on either of these phones (airtel network, delhi)
Its a good phone. The internet connection speed is very good. And camera being 3.2mp is nice, picture quality is fair enough . Although the stock headset gives poor music experience, but with some other supported headphone of better quality its good. And if u r good with S40 os , this phone is very nice.
marcos, 12 Jul 2012Blackberry! you get to use BBM!Dude or dudette.....u can owez use whatsapp....jus as good as BBM! So that aint a determining factor...

It had its beginnings in 1958. It has boasted seven Australian Representatives and has produced countless Victorian Representatives as well as VIS scholarship holders, in both its Men's[1] and Women's[2] units.
The beginning[edit]
In the years prior to 1958 the Elsternwick Hockey Club had seen many of its talented players cease playing when they married, as they purchased homes in the developing areas on the outskirts of Melbourne, and found it difficult to stay active members of the club. In 1958 the Mount Waverley area was one of the most rapidly developing suburbs in Melbourne. It was realised that at least nine Elsternwick players lived in this area, which prompted the Elsternwick hockey club secretary at the time, Arthur Slade to write letters to each, with the suggestion of forming a new club in the Mount Waverley area. So with the contacting of other players from other clubs who also lived in the area, there was enough support for the formation of the new club, and on 30 October 1958 at an informal meeting, the Mount Waverley Hockey Club was formed.
On the field[edit]
In its inaugural year, the Mount Waverley Hockey Club consisted of one team in C grade. Immediate on-field success followed and this team won three premierships in a row and promotion to B grade. A second team was entered in 1960, a fourth team in 1969, a seventh team in 1979, and a veterans team in 1981. Team numbers stabilised at eight. The Waverley men's team first played in the top grade in 1974.
With increasing development in the Waverley area, it was felt that the title of "Mount Waverley Hockey Club" was inappropriate, so in February 1964, the club was renamed the "Waverley Hockey Club".
The first junior team was entered in 1961, numbers increased rapidly to five in 1969, ten in 1974, twelve in 1981, and have now stabilised at nineteen. The junior teams consist of girls, boys and mixed teams ranging from under 9 to under 17. Waverley has one of the largest junior membership in Victoria.
In 1969 two recent school leavers from Mount Waverley High initiated moves to form the Waverley Women's Hockey Club. One team (mostly schoolgirls) was entered in the lowest grade of competition and finished fourth. A second team was entered 1970 and a third in 1972. The women won their first premiership in 1972. The number of teams increased to four in 1974, and to six in 1979. The women reached the top grade in 1985.
The men's and women's clubs operated separately but co-operatively from 1969, until their amalgamation in 1980.
Waverley has won the first grade men's competition on eight occasions and the women's five times and numerous premierships in the juniors and other grades. Many players have gained representative honours at state, national and Olympic level.
The ground[edit]
The rapid growth in team numbers and the competition format limiting play to Saturdays meant that the club had to operate from a number of venues for many years. These venues included Syndal State School, Syndal Technical College, Sixth Avenue Reserve, Burton Street Reserve, Essex Heights Reserve, Larpent Street Reserve, Electra Avenue, Jingella Avenue, Waverley High School, Glen Waverley High School, Waverley Meadows Primary School, Gladeswood Reserve and Jells Park. The club did not have access to a pavilion until its thirteenth year of operation.
In the mid 1970s the Waverley council provided two grounds at Electra Avenue and a Pavilion. One of these grounds was subsequently upgraded to an en-tout-cas surface, ground lighting was installed at club expense. Council subsequently extended an existing building at this reserve to provide excellent facilities shared by the hockey club and a senior citizens group. Waverley Hockey Club with the support of the City of Monash consolidated at Winbirra Parade, Ashwood and pioneered the installation of modern synthetic surfaces at club level. The ground at Ashwood was laid in May 1986. Clubroom facilities were added in two stages through the 1990s. The two grass grounds provided at this venue were relinquished in the mid-1990s as more clubs installed synthetic surfaces.
Waverley boasts over 40 teams entered into all levels of indoor and outdoor hockey. The successes achieved are due to the quality of the facilities, a strong relationship with the City of Monash, support from local businesses, good coaching, sound administration and the involvement of members and parents.
50th Year celebrations[edit]
Waverley celebrated its 50th year in 2009.
The club[edit]
The premierships it has achieved at the highest club level (State League 1) are:
- Men's SL1 - 1981, 1983, 1985, 1989, 1991, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2010, 2011
- Women's SL1 - 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2005, 2007, 2010
Victorian Vikings/Vipers[edit]
Waverley has had success in producing and recruiting elite state level representatives in the past and present. Waverley has six players in the Vikings & Vipers Squads: Stacia Joseph, Leah Merrett, Emily Paton, Luke Young, Stephen Jarvis, and Tim Wischusen. The Vipers were previously coached by Waverley player Toni Cumpston.[3]
Australian players[edit]
The club boasts several past and present Australian players which include Renee Trost, Stacia Joseph, Leah Merrett, Colin Batch, Craig Fairbrother, Nigel Patmore, Matthew Dipnall, Treva King, Stephen Purcell, Stuart Carruthers, Brett Gray, Brett Thompson, Tim Thompson, Travis Brooks, Stephan Mowlam and Luke Doerner.
Many of these players competed over the years in Champions Trophy, Sultan Azlan Shah Cup, Hockey World Cup, Commonwealth and Olympic Games.
Waverley players have enjoyed success in these tournaments becoming the champions in Sultan Azlan Shah Cup as well as Bronze and Gold Medals in the Olympic Games.

I have noticed a Kosher shop selling turkeys only at this time of the year (...late December). Without getting into a discussion about the Kashrut status of turkeys, is this considered in the spirit of a Kosher shop to sell such an item and, could it be considered (at worst) 'chukat hagoi'?

Hi there
I've just installed the Plugin and i'm not goot with codes at all ;-) (i understand at least how some shortcodes work).
I want to display custom fields information from Pie Register on the list.
I've tried another Plugin called Members List, where i could add my custom fields (from a dropdown list) to the User List Markup, the Markup would look like this (e.g. in which Departement my user is):
Database Field: departement
Field Name: Departement (i can edit this field)

%value%
 (I can edit this field too)
The problem with the other plugin was, that the list wouldn't update everytime new users have been added to the list or changed their custom fields values.
Question now:
What's the code to get the custom field values in the Template Info of People List Plugin?
I've seen your tutorial with filters, but I don't understand it, don't know if it's the same and if there is an easier way.
P.S.: What's the Before & After-Thing?
P.S.2: I've disabled line 334 in the people-list.php file because of the jquery problems with WP 3.6+
Thank you and kind regards
Your plugin looks very promising.

I've got a directory, /var/www/someProject/backup/mysql, and I want the user mysql to write to it. Each time I try to write to it with the mysql user, I get a "can't read/write" error. Yet the directory is 777 as you can see here:
drwxrwxrwx 2 aUser users 4096 2010-03-17 17:14 mysql
I also tried to chown the directory to mysql:mysql, just like the home dir of the mysql user, but no luck, that changed nothing.
What am I doing wrong here? Or is the mysql user limited to his home dir in some other way in Ubuntu? Been bugging me for days now, this problem so any help greatly appreciated.

- 28 July 2016
MANILA, July 28 - Speaking before the 7th Infantry Division of the Philippine Army in Fort Magsaysay, Nueva Ecija, President Rodrigo Duterte narrated how his father—also a soldier—retired in Mindanao seeking greener pastures. The President also explained why he declared a unilateral ceasefire with the New Peoples Army (NPA)."It is not my decision alone. It is the decision of the cabinet. Of course, General (Secretary Hermogenes) Esperon and Secretary Delfin Lorenzana are automatically members of the cabinet," Duterte said, referring to his National Security Adviser and Defense Secretary."I am a President that seeks peace with everyone. My job as President is not to look for trouble but to see to it that there are no conflicts in the Philippines."The President reiterated his vision of reconciliation for the country as the conflict in Mindanao has been ongoing since the early 1970s and the communist-led rebellion has been around for more than four decades. "I have to talk to the MI (Moro Islamic Liberation Front) and to the MN (Moro National Liberation Front), to Nur (Misuari) and (Alhadj) Murad and they are ready to talk about peace. This has gone too far and for so l ...Read more

Michele Bachmann sides with Israel in attack on humanitarians
Rep. Michele Bachmann, quoting heavily from an AP story and adding her own commentary, sided with Israel today in its attack on a humanitarian flotilla headed for Gaza that resulted in the deaths of nine aid activists, 600 arrests and 45 deportations.
She first aired her opinion in a blog post on
The Hill and at Town Hall. Later -- unsurprisingly -- she told Politico the episode was President Barack Obama's fault.
Israel has imposed a military blockade of Gaza's borders and shoreline since the militants of Hamas gained control of the region in 2007. The activists were trying to deliver about 10,000 tons of aid to Gaza when their ships were boarded by Israeli forces in international waters.
Israel has come under attack yet again from several world leaders who are calling the actions taken yesterday by their military "criminal" and "inhuman." The AP reports that Israeli commandos stopped six flotillas headed towards Gaza to make sure that their cargo did not contain weapons. The first five ships abided by the checks peacefully, but on the sixth ship, Israeli commandoes were met with strong resistance.
Some context: As Megan McArdle at The Atlantic writes this morning, the humanitarians "were not the next incarnation of Gandhi; they were on that mission spoiling for a fight. But then I realized that the ships were in international waters, and had every right to attack armed men attempting to board their ship."
George Packer of the New Yorker goes further, writing that, "The purpose of the convoy was not primarily to bring aid to desperate Gazans, but to call attention to the Israeli blockade and turn world opinion overwhelmingly against it."
Mission accomplished?
The UN Security Council condemned the raid, and joined the European Union and Russia in calling for investigation.
While the world decries the actions of Israel, I think it's imperative that the United States stand strong with their ally. I support Israel's position to stop and inspect peace missions headed to Gaza for national security purposes and the U.S. should reiterate our support for Israel and stand by them throughout the peace process in the Middle East.
After news of the attack broke, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu canceled a planned visit with President Barack Obama. The White House readout on Monday:
The President expressed deep regret at the loss of life in today's incident, and concern for the wounded, many of whom are being treated in Israeli hospitals. The President also expressed the importance of learning all the facts and circumstances around this morning's tragic events as soon as possible."
Here's video of the raid:

text: Oil volumes higher for third consecutive quarter Lomond well at Highlander prospect logs 150 net feet of pay Share repurchase program reaches 12 percent HOUSTON, Feb. 6, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Energy XXI (Nasdaq:EXXI) (AIM:EXXI) today announced fiscal second-quarter results and provided an operations update on activities in the Gulf of Mexico. For the 2014 fiscal second quarter, Energy XXI reported adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (adjusted EBITDA) of $162.1 million, compared with $196.5 million in the 2013 fiscal second quarter. Net income available for common stockholders for the 2014 fiscal second quarter was $7.6 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, on revenues of $296.8 million, compared with fiscal 2013 second-quarter net income available for common stockholders of $38.5 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, on revenue of $320.5 million. Fiscal 2014 second-quarter results were reduced by a higher effective income tax rate, lower realized crude oil sales prices, and hedge ineffectiveness. Production for the 2014 fiscal second quarter averaged 45,100 barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOE/d) net, compared with 44,600 BOE/d net in the 2013 fiscal second quarter. Oil volumes for the 2014 fiscal second quarter averaged 30,200 barrels per day (Bbl/d) net, up from to 29,400 Bbl/d in the 2013 fiscal second quarter. "With success at West Delta and Main Pass, we continue to hit our oil production targets," Energy XXI Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John Schiller said. "Facilities are being upgraded to allow for a ramp up in drilling activity in the back half of this fiscal year. With six horizontal oil wells set to be drilled at West Delta 73 and 30, we expect a strong finish to our fiscal year in June." Prev 0 of 3 Next

Amarillo police said this year's Independence Day weekend was "extremely busy" with more than 700 calls received for service between 2 p.m. Friday and midnight Saturday.
More than 300 of those calls were for fireworks violations, according to a Monday news release.
In addition to the hundreds of fireworks complaints, officers responded to fights, wrecks, assaults and "normal everyday police calls for severe incidents," police said.
Police were dispatched to an electrical fire at an apartment building at 1600 Dale St., and "numerous officers" were sent to Hamlet Park in north Amarillo to respond to an unruly crowd engaged in fights and fireworks violations.
Though official numbers are unavailable, Amarillo police and fire marshals said officers issued tickets and made arrests throughout the day and into the night on Friday, including several dozen fireworks calls after midnight.

Yup. All TTC except for a couple pages in the back where I do up a daily commute in New York and Europe.
Amazing work
Cant open the links :S BTW, awesome as always
Thanks again and thanks for the heads up! The link is now fixed!
This is something else. I loved the way you were doing them before, but this is an equally glorious thing. Were those subtle textures/patterns in some of the walls on purpose?
Thanks man! Yeah the textures were on purpose. One side of the wall had kind of wood grain look to it so I tried to mimic it.
Nice spread man!

PUVA therapy combines a medicine (called a psoralen) and treatment with ultraviolet A (UVA) light. The psoralen increases the skin's sensitivity to UV light, including sunlight. The psoralen is taken either as a pill or by putting it on the skin directly. Then the skin is exposed to UVA. Treatments are done regularly for 4 to 6 months.
PUVA is used when alopecia areata affects most of the scalp or areas of skin other than the scalp. It may also be used when other treatments cannot be used or have not worked.
Short-term side effects when using PUVA to treat psoriasis include:
Psoralens applied to the skin (topical) may help you avoid some side effects of PUVA. Topical psoralens may be used for alopecia areata that affects smaller areas of the skin. They may be especially helpful when psoralens taken by mouth (oral) cause severe nausea.
Topical psoralens, such as those given in bath water, are as effective as oral psoralens. But if light treatments are given in a doctor's office, they may be less convenient.

Club Description
This is a club based around humanitarian efforts and medical relief towards a local town in Honduras upon which we bring around 20 Brandeis students with basic medical supplies and drugs with a physician. We fundraise throughout both semesters and utilize all of our on campus and off campus connections to get enough money to subsidize the trip for students to go to Honduras on this amazing experience. Students learn basic medical techniques, many of the intricacies of Honduran and Latin American culture, and get an experience of a lifetime.
At Brandeis, we have a medical brigade, public health brigade, and microfinance brigade.
