Sign up for the SXSW Urban Ride on Upcoming. Here's a PDF version of the flyer, like if you wanted to plaster it all over your garage or maybe make a nice hat.
I've read the Aeloian Ride website a few times now, trying to grok it, after getting a tip from Zannestars and think they're def onto something; especially, if the inflatable suit is combined with Aero corduroys (no, I don't make this stuff up)!
Inspired by a love for bikes, city cruising, critical mass, costumes, sillyness + things that inflate, i decided to make a free, mass participatory event with a sense of humor. It excites those riding as well as delights those watching, all the while transforming the landscape into a playground of windfilled shapes.
That looks like lots of fun and I pinged them to see if they can make it to SXSW.
The best part of our BBQ @ SXSW is all the schwag and giveaways. We've got
- Socks from Sock Guy
- [Skins gradient compression performance equipment] (http://www.skins.net/us/en/default.aspx)
- Ibex Outdoor Clothing
- REI Gear and Goods
- Reynolds Carbon Bars
- Crumpler bags
The P. I. proclaims the immanent demise of bike messengers in today's issue. It's true I'm sure that the number of messengers are down, but I doubt Messengers are the urban buffalo of the late part of the first decade of this millennium. The reports of messenger death are greatly exaggerated from what I can tell – check the following: Transportation Alternatives from 1996 (The industry is too squeezed to pay messengers in NYC); The Economist from a decade later; the Sydney Morning Herald and BCBusiness from just last year. Meanwhile, if you like your media closer to home, check out Pilder's blog, of one of the messengers in the PI article.
Messengers gone? Could be, doesn't seem like it'll be right away to me. I'd be very sad to see the days of paid-to-ride fall by the side of the road, but that doesn't seem like what's happening either. I imagine we'll actually see more pedal-powered traffic on the roads as oil prices top $100/gal. Maybe not so much for moving documents though – here's a local pizza joint who delivers by bike (on Cetma racks no less).
It'd be a big blow to lose this very physical culture from our city, and digital documentation does seem like it's making a dent. Messengering is the quit-my-job fantasy for more than a few of the very folks enabling these digital docs (myself included). But my money's on this buffalo surviving. And as Byron wrote earlier, The Hip and the Dead.
p.s. As always, the PI Soundoff darkly funny in it's over the top anti-cycling response.

Just 2 years ago, fixies and messengers were hip and now sadly described as a dying breed; well, I don't trust media predications anymore than anyone else and messengers will always have a place in Portland and in bad-ass races like this one in NYC.
As noted in the comments below, after posting this entry, I was tipped to the Tour of Chicago death and read the news about it.
What was intended as a snappy post title now means more and our regrets and sympathies go out the Chicago cycling community. The video itself is legendary, anyone riding like that I think is "bad ass," but I wish the timing had been different and feel very sad about what happened.

Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Antisense oligonucleotides, siRNAs, miRNAs, aptamers, and other small nucleic acids are gaining prominence in the biopharmaceutical pipeline. The need for robust, accurate, and efficient ways of detecting such oligonucleotides and their metabolites in complex bodily fluids is crucially important for pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and exposure-response studies, as well as for the future of patient care.
There are several ways in which these measurements are accomplished, including by LC-MS/MS, HPLC-UV, capillary gel electrophoresis, and immunologically based approaches. Each of these methods offers certain advantages and limitations. The LC-MS/MS approach is sensitive and specific, accurate and reproducible, and is amenable to fast, high-throughput analysis. The Table summarizes some of these benefits.
An LC-MS/MS assay offers three levels of discrimination. First, samples are separated based on their mobility through the chromatography column—generally based on some combination of size, polarity, charge, and, perhaps, affinity. A typical chromatograph will indicate the amount of substance (detected by UV absorption, MS signal intensity, etc.) versus the time (or fraction number) at which it was eluted.
When a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer is used, the eluate is ionized as it enters the mass spectrometer, where it is scanned for mass/charge ratio (m/z) in Q1 based on its molecular weight and charge states. Selected ions with specific m/z from Q1 are then allowed to collide in Q2 with gas molecules, fragmenting them into pieces, which are then measured for m/z by a second detector (Q3).
On the basis of multiple specific MRM (multiple reaction monitoring) "transitions" from a compound to unique fragments, the instrument is able to discriminate among starting compounds that could not otherwise be differentiated. This is especially true for poly-ionic oligonucleotide compounds that usually have multiple unique ionic charge states in Q1 scan (Figure 1).
Scientists at Tandem Labs have developed and validated dozens of sensitive, high-throughput LC-MS/MS assays allowing us to quantify oligonucleotide molecules in bodily fluids such as urine and plasma. This tutorial presents an outline of the development of a LC-MS/MS method and an example of its use: the detection and quantification over a broad dynamic range of a model compound from human plasma.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
All About Ear Infections
Ear infection: The diagnosis strikes fear in the hearts of parents, who want to do what's best for their child but tend to get conflicting medical advice. What makes ear infections so troubling is not only the damage that repeated infections can cause, but also the danger of over-treating the infection: antibiotic resistance. What's a concerned parent to do? Here's what the experts know.
Usually Not a Cause for Alarm
Two-thirds of children have had an ear infection, also known as acute otitis media, before their first birthday. Young children are susceptible to these infections in part because their eustachian tube, which connects the middle ear to the throat and nose, is underdeveloped and lies at a horizontal angle (it becomes more angled with age), easily clogging with fluid. Also, young children's immune systems are still developing, putting them at high risk for upper respiratory infections, which can lead to ear infections.
Symptoms of an Ear Infection
- Fever
- Pain in the ear (babies rub or pull on their ears)
- Vomiting and diarrhea (in infants only)
- Difficulty hearing
- Crying/pain when sucking
- Loss of sleep or appetite
Treatments and Complications
In about half of all cases, an ear infection resolves itself without any need for medication. However, in the majority of cases children need an antibiotic, usually amoxicillin, for a course of 10 days. The drug starts to work within a day or so.
Sometimes the fluid in the middle ear doesn't drain, blocking the eardrum and causing temporary hearing loss, or otitis media with effusion. Again, this is not uncommon, and in many cases another round of amoxicillin or another type of antibiotic will do the trick.
Repeated ear infections can be a problem, since they're associated with extended temporary hearing loss. During the early years of childhood, proper hearing is essential to speech development. And if children have significant hearing loss for a long period of time, they may experience difficulties in language learning.
To Tube or Not to Tube
Traditionally, children who experience recurrent ear infections for three months or longer and have hearing loss are candidates for a myringotomy, a surgery in which tubes are inserted into the ear to keep the middle ear ventilated. However, in light of new studies, doctors are increasingly opting to forgo this surgery. A 1994 study found that in 23 percent of cases, tubes were medically unnecessary. In addition, a new study of 182 children, published in a recent issue of the medical journal Lancet, found that putting off surgery for up to nine months didn't hamper a toddler's long-term language abilities. If your doctor suggests a myringotomy, you might want a second opinion.

Part of a Maison de Maitre in the CharenteMaritine region of France, these luxury cottages form part of the private residence which was built in 1780. The main house and cottages are within a large private walled garden on the edge of the village of Chervettes.
The cottages have been recently restored to a very high standard with modern facilities yet still keeping the original charm and history of the buildings.
The cottages have all facilities to ensure a comfortable stay in tranquil surroundings yet within easy reach of La Rochelle and the world famous Ile de Re. For those who are content to stay at the cottages the external amenities include a 10 metre heated outdoor swimming pool with changing rooms and sun area. Le Prieure is a mere 5 minute drive from the historical town Surgeres with its fabulous walled Chateau and medieval town centre, the town offers a great choice of restaurants , bars and modern supermarkets offering local produce.
New for 2013 we have converted a former cattle barn and hayloft into a stunning one bed apartment. It has private parking and a huge terrace. Pull out beds in the large reception are ideal for children.
Le Prieure is ideally located with great motorway links which opens up the Charente region and beyond.
Within an acceptable driving distance are the following attractions.
Space World at Poitiers.
Vineyards in Cognac / Bordeaux.
Beaches of La Rochelle and Chatelaillon plage.
Sea World in La Rochelle.
Beautiful Ile de Re with its sailing schools, secluded beaches and cycle tracks
We are a family of 4 including 2 children aged 6 & 8. We stayed in Rosina cottage & absolutely loved the accommodation, pool& surroundings. The decor in the cottage was gorgeous. The pool was really lovely & the grounds beautiful. Owners were wonderfully relaxed & welcoming. We had so much fun playing pool in the games room/ badminton on the grass. Also great trips to La Rochelle, Il de Re & beach. Also enjoyed cycling in the local area. Best family holiday yet - would definitely book again.
We are family of 4 with 2 young teenagers. We stayed for a week in Rosina. The owner met us and was friendly, approachable and very casual about the kids using all the outdoor areas. The cottage is in a very quiet hamlet, the grounds of the property are very attractive, with well kept garden areas, the pool area was very well maintained. The downstairs of the cottage was good, well equipped and clean(ish), english channel TV,my son loved the décor, to me it was odd and out of keeping with the cottage (too much black, with cow skin rug and big canvas paintings). The outside seating area is small but okay, nothing special, but you do have access to all of the gardens. The upstairs let this cottage down, very 'pokey', tired, old furniture, limited space. All of it was okay but certainly not luxurious by any means. The upstairs lacks attention to detail, and with a little time and thought for what clients need this could easily be corrected (I have spoken to the owner about this and he is very understanding and has said in September the property is due an update and thorough clean). the photos of the interior I feel are very flattering! (and misleading). You need a car staying here. We had some lovely drives around the area. There is a big supermarket in Surgeres which also has several bars and restaurants. 2 great days out to Il de Re, drive took about 1.25hours to get onto island. La Rochelle well worth a visit, about 50 mins drive and also Chattelion de Plage. We didn't have hot weather so we didn't use the pool but it is a great facility with inflatables and my children really liked the games room with the table tennis, badminton, and bikes. I cant change the star rating for this property for some reason but its not 5 star.
We were a family of 4 (boys aged 12 and 9 years) staying for 1 week (having booked 2 city stopovers on the way down and 2 stopovers on the way back). We have been to France many times but never to this region.
We were attracted to the different region (for a change), elegant house and the use of a shared pool.
The accommodation was as described and suited us perfectly. The downstairs is open plan and spacious (no clutter). The outside eating area is private and sheltered, which was great as we bbq'd most nights. The landscaping around the properties is lovely and the smell of lavender wonderful.
The use of the pool was great for all the family. We went in the pool daily after our day's outing. We never actually had to share the pool, as our neighbours used it at other times.
The boys enjoyed the games room, both the table tennis and the use of the piano (our 9 yr old has never played the piano so keenly!)
We took our own bikes and enjoyed 3 cycles (part of the Atlantic coast outside La Rochelle, Ile de Re via the toll bridge and from the house to Surgeres).
We went to Chatelaillon beach (good for collecting mussels), beaches at Fouras and Ile de Re (good for rock pooling - found sea slugs).
We had an enjoyable holiday and would gladly recommend this venue.
We have just returned from a lovely holiday in France. This region was new to us and we enjoyed getting to know the area. We (2 adults and 2 boys, aged 12 and 15) spent one week in the Rosina cottage and loved it. It is just as advertised here. The house, gardens and pool are just lovely and. The boys loved the pool and especially the pool table. The table tennis was also very popular and the badminton set also got used.
We can recommend, Ile de Re (lovely beaches, cycling and St Martin de Re), Futurscope in Potiiers (Amusement park, 4D films and robots), Marais Poitevin (boat trip on the canals. Go with a guide, they have lots to tell you about the Vendee region and it was very interesting), La Rochelle (town and aquarium). We spent a day at home, only going out for bread and croissants in the morning, which was lovely.
Marie and Peter are lovely hosts, providing useful information about the surrounding area, restaurants, villages etc. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to come back if (when) we visit the region again.
We stayed in Rosina cottage for 2 weeks the owners made us feel welcome from the outset & were really helpful & friendly. The property was stunning, well presented and really clean it was a great size for us & our 2 kids. The kids really enjoyed the games room & the swimming pool (these were also kept immaculate) as well as the garden where they could kick a football around!
The property is in the countryside & has beautiful views of the surrounding area you can just step out the gate & walk or cycle for miles. The nearest village is Vandre & this has a small mini mart that has fresh bread & croissants daily there is also a butcher. The nearest supermarket is in Surgeres which is not much further on, there is also a local market there (Wednesday & Saturday) has a lovely variety of fresh fish, meats, veg etc.
La Rochelle is only about 30 mins & has great restaurants, beaches & shops. Worth a visit to Ile de Re - beaches are great had a wonderful lunch at Le Skipper in St Martin.
We would definitely return for another holiday had such a fab time.
The Rosina cottage is beautifully presented and ideal for a family of four with plenty of space for all. The house and grounds are delightful, and with the addition of the pool, makes for perfect holiday accommodation. The owners, Marie and Peter, made us feel most welcome and were on hand to answer any questions or help with recommendations, even to the point of making a restaurant reservation for us at the Le Scorlion restaurant in Saint-Jean-d'Angél, which is to be recommended.
We had wonderful stay and would recommend this accommodation and area - we will be returning!

Unified auditions to be held
Published: Sunday, January 22, 2006 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, January 22, 2006 at 12:00 a.m.
ASHEVILLE -- Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College will host the 2006 Western North Carolina Theatre League Unified Auditions Wednesday, Feb. 15, and Saturday, Feb. 18. Modeled after the Southeastern Theatre Conference auditions, this annual event allows local actors to showcase their talents in a professional audition setting for a variety of companies throughout the region.
The purpose of the Unified Auditions is to develop a database of local actors and technical artists for regional, community and professional theaters.
The schedule is as follows:
The auditions will be held at Ferguson Auditorium on the campus of Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College.
Actors are asked to prepare 90 seconds of material: one monologue or two contrasting monologues or monologue and 16 bars of a song. An accompanist is available. Singers should bring their own sheet music in their key as the accompanist will not transpose. Children should present a memorized selection, poem, rhyme, monologue and, if they wish, sing a song. Actors should also mail 30 copies of a photo/headshot and resume for distribution to the different theatre groups.
Pre-register by emailing email@example.com or by mail with resume to Unified Auditions, c/o Peter Carver, Drama, A-B Tech, 340 Victoria Road, Asheville, NC 28801.
Actors should indicate preference for Wednesday evening or Saturday afternoon. Registration begins at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Feb 23, and 9:30 and 11:30 a.m. Saturday.
An Audition Information Workshop will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 2, in Ferguson Auditorium. At this workshop, actors will hear from a panel of directors and casting agents on effective auditioning technique and what to expect at the auditions.
Interested technicians or directors should e-mail for an interview slot and mail their resumes or bring them to Ferguson Auditorium at 10 a.m., Saturday, Feb. 18. An instructional meeting will take place approximately 15 minutes before each audition session.

The linear and nonlinear susceptibilities for resonant third-harmonic generation in an Mg-Kr system using the 3s2-3s 3d two-photon resonance at 431 nm are presented. The Mg-Kr system is shown to be a suitable low-loss medium because of its small one-photon and two-photon absorption cross section. A detailed quantitative analysis up to a power conversion efficiency of 1.2 . 10-4was carried out. The phase-matching curves and the intensity dependence are in excellent agreement with a nonstationary modification of the theory of resonant third-harmonic generation in high density, phase-matched systems recently presented by Puell et al. [4].

"Clearly influenced by great post rock artists like Mogwai and The Mars Volta, After Nations is a fire tornado of sound. Each track, each chord and each arrangement begins with just a little spark, like a dropped glass acting as flint, until the momentum builds and breaks in a rolling cresendo of flame. At times it can be beautiful and glorious in it's oxidated release of energy with inspiring waves of divergent and pliant organization that comes across unexpected like the approaching intensity of heat. This take on rock stems from a belief that mainstream rock with formulaic progression is bland due to predictability. For those of you completely comfortable with spontaneity it's easy to note how jazz influenced the experimental take on rock right down to it's solely instrumental perspective. Ultimately, the sound is loud with an artistic point of view that inspires a release of energy that without warning can be explosive."

This is a great recipe! My wife ate them and she doesn't care for pumpkin seeds. I added another 8-10 minutes bake time as the seeds were not cooked enough with only 6 minutes in oven. Will make these again, definitely!
I love pumpkin seeds but these are quite sweet. Others in my family liked them more than I did... I just don't have much of a sweet tooth. I prepared these nuts to go with your delicious Green Salad With Candied Pumpkin Seeds . My stepson thinks they are great though, and was happy to take the leftovers to his room!
These were wonderful! I actually made it in the microwave. I first microwaved them at 70% power for 1-1/2 minutes stirring every 30 seconds. I then added the other sugar mixture and did again for another 2-3 minutes at 70% power (1100 watt microwave). I spread them on the wax paper and came out perfectly. Dh couldn't keep his hands off them. LOL! ;) I used them with Green Salad With Candied Pumpkin Seeds and used pecans instead of pumpkin seeds. Thanks for the great recipe, Sharon123!
These were extra sweet. I think having one whole cup of mixed sugar was a little too much. Very good though. And the orange juice was a nice touch.
I wanted to give this 5 stars, I really did. My family really loves pumpkin seeds. But these turned out way to sticky. The actual taste was wonderful, but they never really hardened for us (if that's what they're supposed to do.) I followed the directions and even let them cool overnight to see if the outcome would change. Thanks, though, I had fun photographing them :)
What a nice addition to salad (Green Salad With Candied Pumpkin Seeds). Very good, however I had problems removing the pumpkin seeds from the wax paper - next time instead of the wax paper I think I'll just spray the cookie sheet with Pam and I think they'll come off a lot easier. I also used some pumpkin seeds I had leftover (much less than the 2 cups) but also decreased the sugar topping ingredients too. Can't wait to make these again for Halloween! Thanks for sharing this keeper!

I'm a bit confused about the product archive or base page.
A while back I had some problems because I deleted the page "shop" as I wasn't using it.
I was told it had to be there, however it just shows a list of products so is almost duplicate of another page I created called "store"
I just found the setting in "Products" for Product Archive / Shop Page, so I presume it is OK to just choose any page as the base page so if I choose the page I created "store" can I then delete "shop"?
Or should I rename the default page "shop" e.g. to "store" and customise it how I want?

There is another blog (http://microseguro.wordpress.com) that has been re-posting everything I add to my blog and I'd like it to stop.
I've tried contacting the site with no success (it seems like there is no real person behind this).
My blog is http://seumicroseguro.com and originally http://victorh2007.wordpress.com
I have been working hard on my blog and it is not fair at all there is someone stealing my work.
Please, help me to stop this!
I've already started thinking of giving up everything related to my blog if this situation was not resolved as soon as possible.

Thomas H. Marshburn, who has just over 12,000 followers on
Twitter, sent a message at about 12:45pm New Zealand time.
"More volcano-spotting! Mt. Taranaki on New Zealand's North
Island served as the backdrop in the movie The Last Samurai,"
he said.
The photo shows a clear view of the 2518-metre-high mountain,
with the Taranaki coastline seen to the west.
Mt Taranaki is known as one of the most symmetrical volcanic
cones in the world and, because of its resemblance to Mount
Fuji, was used at the backdrop for The Last Samurai.
Marshburn is one of three astronauts who blasted off in a
Russian Soyuz spacecraft from Kazakhstan on December 19.
The Soyuz TMA-07M spacecraft docked at the International
Space Station after a two-day flight.
Marshburn, whose Twitter handle is @AstroMarshburn, has since
posted images of the Red Sea's "glorious" shoreline, the Gobi
Desert and another volcano on Kyushu Island in Japan.
He is part of a six-man crew onboard the station, carrying
out scientific research and maintenance work.
Marshburn's NASA profile says he enjoys backpacking and
mountain climbing, and in 1980 backpacked all the way from
Canada to Mexico.
Another astronaut on the Space Station, Canadian Chris
Hadfield, has also been tweeting stunning photos of Earth
from space, and answering questions from followers about the

This week I was able to visit a city and do some walking around. The parking garage was a distance away from the destination so I was able to walk several blocks to the area I was to visit. While walking, I had crossed a street and an older lady was standing on the curb on the side I crossed over too. She asked, Has the light changed so I can cross? Or something like that. I looked up and saw only a stop sign. I looked down at the cane she had and saw that it was a white cane with a red end. Not

>> Now that the full set of Dolce & Gabbana's Spring 2011 ad campaign is out, the images together are quite something. Garance Dore noted earlier this week that both the Chloe and Valentino Spring campaigns show models who are actually smiling, and with Dolce, the models are also actually showing emotion, but of a different kind: Steven Klein captured Isabeli Fontana, Alessandra Ambrosio, Maryna Linchuk, and Izabel Goulart mid-yell in more than one image, and Alessandra goading Isabeli in another. Of course, there are the requisite sultry looks — this is Dolce & Gabbana we're talking about — but it's worth noting that models are starting to be given some freedom of expression when it comes to ads.

In what has become something of a rugby tradition in the
city, the teams played an unofficial curtain-raiser to
tonight's All Blacks v Springboks test at Forsyth Barr
Stadium and more than 1000 people turned out under grey skies
to watch.
The home side ran out 30-20 winners in a match that came to
life in a second half featuring a pizza delivery car and a
guest appearance by a solitary nude woman who joined the
Springbox for a single play and sneaked over for a try.
Earlier, the Nude Blacks entertained the crowd with their
warm-ups and a haka, which reportedly drew as many groans as
laughs from the watching crowd.

To whom want solve this question you can get access to it if youopen this link
please i don't want array .
Question 2
When a share of common stock of some company is sold, thecapital gain is the difference bewteen the share'sselling price and the price originally paid to buy it. This rule iseasy-to-understand for a single share, but if we sell multipleshares of stock (of the same company) bought over a long period oftime, then we must identify the shares actually being sold. Astandard accounting principle for identifying which shares of stockwere sold in such a case is to use a FIFO protocol. That is, theshares sold are the ones that have been held longest (indeed thisis the default method built into several personal financepackages). For example, suppose we buy 100 shares at $20 each onday 1, 20 shares at $24 on day 2, 200 shares at $36 on day 3, andthen sell 150 shares on day 4 at $30 each. The applying the FIFOprotocol means that of the 150 shares sold, 100 were bought on day1, 20 were baought on day 2, and 30 were bought on day 3. Thecapital gain in this case would therefore be 100 x $10 + 20 x $6 +30 x (-$6) = $940.
(a) Design a Stock interface class which supports the
followingoperations [4 MARKS]:
- buy x shares at $y each
- sell x shares at $y each and return the TOTAL capital gain fromall buy/sell actions so far. (If the stocks in the portfolio areinsufficient, sell all available stocks.)
- toString(): print current portfolio
- makeEmpty(): reset portfolio to empty
(b) Design a class StockLi which implements a Stock interfacethrough a linked list. [40 MARKS]
(c) Design a test program for the class StockLi and hand in outputof test runs which show that all methods work correctly. [6MARKS]

Objectives: Height and weight are key variables in epidemiologic research, including studies of reproductive outcomes. Optimally, this information is collected by trained study personnel. However, direct measurements are not always feasible. The purpose of this study was to investigate the accuracy of self-reported height and weight, as well as the resultant body mass index (BMI) calculated from self-reported height and weight (referred to as self-reported BMI), among a group of women of reproductive age according to select demographic variables.
Methods: A total of 381 women provided self-reported height, weight, and demographic information on a questionnaire for a study of contraceptive trends while attending a Family Medicine clinic. Height and weight were also abstracted from medical records for 275 of these study participants. Self-reported and measured values for height, weight, and BMI were compared using paired t-tests. Analysis of variance, chi-square tests, and Fisher's Exact tests were used to examine how differences between self-reported and measured values varied by select demographic factors.
Results: Women underestimated weight by 4.6 pounds, overestimated height by 0.1 inches, and underestimated BMI by 0.8 kg/m2. All women, regardless of age, education, race/ethnicity, or marital status, underestimated their weight. These differences were statistically significant for all groups (p<0.01) with the exception of women with a high school education. Self-reported height and weight measures classified 84% of women into appropriate BMI categories.
Conclusions: Overall, self-reported height and weight were found to give an accurate representation of true BMI in this study. There were some demographic differences in the ability to accurately report height and weight, particularly with respect to race/ethnicity. Future studies should investigate these racial/ethnic differences among a larger population.

I love the Twins. You know that. I've told you why I love them, and I've told you why I think they're good enough to make the playoffs and maybe even win their division. It sounds crazy, with the Tigers and the White Sox both playing outrageously good baseball, but the Twins could do it...unless something goes wrong. What could it be, you ask? How could Minnesota, with the likes of Liriano, Santana, and Mauer on the roster, still not be good enough to compete in the AL Central? Here's at look at the Top Five reasons the Twins might not get the job done.
Reason Number Five: Brad Radke
I'll keep this short and sweet. Radke is a classic Twin; he's been with us through his best and our, well...our pretty bad. This year, he's 8-7 with a 4.83 ERA—not bad, but not good either. Radke is nothing if not predictable: he gets knocked around early, then he settles down. Truth be told, he might be the only pitcher in the league who actually improves as the game goes on—every time. Unless he starts to get some decent offense behind him, though, Twins fans can expect to see more game summaries along the lines of "Radke loses without support."
Reason Number Four: Joe Nathan
Please, don't get me wrong—I don't mean to say that there is anything wrong with Joe Nathan per se. As a matter of fact, I think that he's one of the best closers in the game, and the numbers back me up: 6-0, a 1.62 ERA, 55 strikeouts in 39 innings, and 17 saves in 18 opportunities. So where's the problem? Quite simply, Nathan isn't getting used as he should be. HE IS A CLOSER. I'm glad he's 6-0, but he shouldn't have to be. Ideally, he'd be 2-0 with at least 25 saves, but the Twins haven't been getting him into the right situations. Bottom line: he's not on the team to pitch the ninth inning of a 2-2 game. Than again, I've got to admit that it does beat bringing in...
Reason Number Three: Kyle Loshe
I feel bad writing it—I hate saying anything bad about the Twins this year—but the fact is that Loshe stinks. The Twins keep sending him to arbitration, and he keeps getting sent right back into the bullpen. I don't know who his lawyer is, but I hope Loshe has him on retainer, because his numbers (2-5, 7.18 ERA) certainly aren't the reason he's still around. He does have an uncanny ability to up his performance when his job's on the line, but he always falls apart again after he's managed to save his roster spot. Barring a miracle, he's only going to be a weight around our necks.
Reason Number Two: Rondell White
This is actually my second draft of the Rondell White paragraph, because I just watched him hit his second home run of the night, making three in the last three games. The problem, of course, is that that those three dingers have brought his season total to...three dingers. With a nagging shoulder injury, White has struggled mightily to make contact (his BA was as low as .190 at one point), which was the only reason we signed him in the off-season. He's brought his average up to .210 this week with his best hitting of the year, but you've got to wonder if he can keep it up. If he does, I'll be the first person to take back every bad word I've ever said about him, but I need to see it to believe it. Incidentally, the Twins are up 7-2 right now, which begs the same question I've been asking about Barry Bonds lately: if the homer doesn't matter, does it matter?
Reason Number One: Injuries
To say that the Twins have suffered a few injuries lately would be a serious understatement. In fact, the crowded DL is the number one reason White came back from the minors—we ran out of players to call up. All three starting outfielders—Shannon Stewart, Torii Hunter and Lew Ford—are on the shelf at the moment, and it seems like these Twins have a way of going down more often than players on other teams around the league. Their strength has come from a great minor league system—a system which has produced most of the current starting lineup—but what happens when we run out of suitable fill-ins on the farm? There's an answer out there, of course, but you're not going to hear it from me. Maybe it's obvious to everyone with half a brain...but I still don't wanna say it, and I'm not gonna say it. After all, you never know: if I keep quiet—if I stick my head in the sand and pretend I can't see what's coming down the line—maybe it won't happen...

Martinez Knoblauch Jeter Brosius
Got an awesome package of Yankees from Garvey Cey Russell Lopes this week - 800 cards of Yankee awesomeness. Most were in the Martinez-Knoblauch-Jeter-Brosius era, which was great for me since I wasn't collecting much in those days. Come October we'll see if Teixeira-Cano-Jeter-Rodriguez can match them.
A couple of highlights:
A Gary Sheffield bat card. My first every Yankee bat card - cool!
Shiny! I sure am a sucker for those Upper Deck holograms. Or any shiny card for that matter.
This is a pretty awesome card. In O'Neill's first couple of years as a Yankee, before Yankee Stadium was routinely sold out every night, you really did have fans holding those target signs for him. Maybe, given the smaller dimensions at the new Yankee Stadium, we can get fans in the first row with signs like damOn or pOsada. Maybe an arOd sign in left.

Statistical Techniques for Simulation Model Validation

Research Institution:
AbstractStatistically sound approaches to making interfrences regarding simulation model validation, rather than reliance upon subjective appeal, are needed. Fundamentally, the question of interest is whether a model reflects reality to the required degree of accuracy. The utility (and hence validity) of a simulation model relies on how well it captures those aspects of the phenonmenon under study that are relevant application of the simulation. For this reason, procedures for validating simulation models must be developed in a context specific to the properties of the phenomena intended to be capptured by the model. The work proposed herein is concerned with the development of multivariate, nonparametric statistical techniques for validation of simulation models. In particular, we will consider situations in which one or more empirical realizations (i.e., time series) of the phenomena to be modeled are availabble, as well as one or more realizations produced by the simulation model. Given two such sets of time series, we wish to determine whether the simulated series accurately capture the behavior of the empirical series. That is, we wish to perform a test of homogeneity. Two general statistical approaches to this problem will be considered: nonparametric homogeneity testing and change point detection.

Brain Surgery for Mental Illness?
In a recent post in the WebMD Depression Community, one person asked if there is brain surgery for depression as all medications and psychotherapy have failed to help. Another posted that brain surgery for depression is science fiction and doesn't exist…
First, I have yet to meet someone that has truly tried all non-surgical options for depression. Second, we need to be careful that when we discuss surgery for psychiatric disorders, we do not make false claims about curing everyone definitively, or traveling down the road of excessive use without bona fide data and repeat our overuse of frontal lobotomies. Third, there are surgical procedures, some even FDA approved, to treat psychiatric disorders. Below are some brief descriptions:
- VNS (vagus nerve stimulation) is FDA approved for treatment resistant depression. A pacemaker is inserted into the chest wall by the arm pit just like a heart pace maker. A wire runs under the skin into the left neck near the carotid artery and is clipped onto the vagus nerve. This nerve is a large nerve that sends signals into the brain. It allows connections to areas of the brain that are felt to be involved in depression. About every 5 minutes a small electrical impulse travels from pacemaker, up the wire and into the brain. Not really brain surgery, but is arm pit and neck surgery that ultimately affects the brain. This approach also treats epilepsy.
- DBS (deep brain stimulation) is FDA approved for compassionate use for refractory OCD. Currently it is experimental and being investigated for depression. A pacemaker is inserted similar to VNS but two wires are sent under the skin, behind the neck and onto the scalp near the top of the head. Two smaller wires (microelectrodes) are actually inserted into the brain (brain surgery) into areas also associated with depression. Again, electrical impulses travel from the pacemaker and into brain tissue. This is a type of brain surgery. This approach also treats certain forms of hand and arm tremors.
- CST (cortical stimulation therapy) is even more experimental and in earlier stages of development compared to DBS or VNS. This involves a similar pacemaker in the chest wall and wires to the scalp, but surgery is needed to open part of the skull near the left frontal lobe area of the brain. A small, band-aid sized, flat electrode is placed over this brain area. Electrical impulses from the pacemaker and wires are sent to this flat electrode sitting on the surface of brain tissue and this is felt to restore brain functioning in this area which is dysfunctional in depression. This is brain surgery.
So there are brain surgeries and device based treatments for psychiatric disorders. These approaches are saved for those patients who often have failed to respond to almost everything. Patients have to be selected to match as closely to those who joined studies to get the same outcomes. This can be a lengthy process and I find that most insurance companies refuse to pay for these treatments which may run ,000 or more. They are able to do this as the private insurance company is allowed to call these treatments experimental by their own internal definitions, despite some of these treatments being clearly FDA approved and not being experimental according to federal regulations.
Given that patient selection is tedious and specific and that most insurances will not pay for these treatments, it is unlikely that we will see thousands of patients walking around with computer chip pacemakers controlling brain function. Science fiction and conspiracy writers will have to wait many more years for this to become anywhere close to a reality.
