Jake Peavy (SP,RP)
Free Agent

Jake Peavy, one of the top pitchers in San Diego Padre history, might be returning to his old stomping grounds according to Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union-Tribune. (Source: www.mlb.com)
Fantasy Impact: Peavy won the 2007 Cy Young Award as a Padre and also captured two ERA titles during his time in San Diego. Obviously, he is not the pitcher he once was as shown by last year's 5-9 record and 5.54 ERA for the Giants.

Fantasy Impact: Peavy had shown signs of improvement before struggling mightily again over his last three outings. Over that span, he allowed 13 earned runs over 15 innings to increase his season ERA and WHIP to 5.47 and 1.40. He doesn't hold much, if any, value pitching out of the bullpen, though he could return as a spot start later in the season.

Jake Peavy gave up four runs, struck out six and walked one in six innings pitched.
Fantasy Impact: All in all, it was not a bad start, but a three-run shot to Big Papi and a solo homer to Brock Holt did in Peavy. He still isn't a fantasy option, but isn't absolutely disastrous anymore if you're desperate in deep leagues. He's given up two or fewer runs in five of his last seven starts.

After his previous start ended before the completion of the fourth inning, Jake Peavy rebounded nicely on Monday to collect his fifth win of the season. He held the Rockies to one earned run on five hits with two walks and six strikeouts over 6 2/3 innings.
Fantasy Impact: Peavy has been much better of late, as he now has quality starts in six of his last eight appearances. His ratios are still high on the season, but he's proven more useful, especially for DFS purposes considering his prices remain relatively low due to his slow start.

Jake Peavy has strung together two consecutive quality starts and earned his second win of the season on Tuesday against Atlanta. He gave up just one hit in seven innings and finished with three strikeouts on his 35th birthday.
Fantasy Impact: Peavy is still a questionable start at this point in his career, but could be worth streaming if he's able to put together another quality start in his next outing. For now, though, it's okay to be skeptical.

Jake Peavy didn't make it out of the second inning, yielding five earned runs. Three were off the bat of Kris Bryant. He gave up five hits and two walks, meaning he allowed more base runners than outs.
Fantasy Impact: Peavy is completely toast at this point, and the feel-goods about his prior start are gone. A mystery DL stint is coming and Chris Heston will likely be called up from Triple-A to take his place. Heston flashed some talent last season, and is worth a shot in deeper leagues.

Jake Peavy had another poor start on Wednesday against the Reds, allowing seven runs over six innings. He now has a 9.00 ERA and a 1.90 WHIP on the season.
Fantasy Impact: Bruce Bochy had said that he is not thinking of replacing Peavy in the rotation, but this is getting a little out of hand. Peavy still has a good strikeout rate, but unless you're in a strikeouts only league, there's no way the strikeouts are enough for you to start him in any format.

Jake Peavy was torched for six earned runs in two innings pitched. He walked five batters and struck out three.
Fantasy Impact: This marks the fourth time in five games this season that Peavy didn't make it past five innings pitched while yielding four earned runs or more. Getting torched in only two innings is a new low. If someone in your league owns Peavy, it's time to stage an intervention. If you want to speculate, expect a phantom injury for a DL stint to make room for Chris Heston, who has been stretching out in Triple-A.

Jake Peavy gave up eleven hits and a walk en route to six earned runs in four innings pitchedd.
Fantasy Impact: Peavy was ineffective for the second straight game this season, but it's hard to find an effective pitcher in Coors. If you played Peavy, you were tempting fate. He's only good at home and is getting up there in age. Chris Heston pitched two innings and may take his place in the rotation if Peavy continues to be ineffective. He's allowed ten earned runs in nine innings so far this season, so Heston will likely get his shot.

The Dodgers managed ten hits and four earned runs off of Peavy in five innings pitched. Peavy struck out three Dodgers.
Fantasy Impact: Peavy was effective at home last season, where he posted a 3.03 ERA, but not today. He ran up against a Dodgers buzzsaw that scored 28 runs in their first three games of the season. This start hasn't much changed anything for Peavy's outlook, since you only would use him as a streaming option at home in even the deepest of leagues.

Peavy will take the mound on Thursday against the visiting Dodgers in what should be an amped up home opener against their rivals from Southern California.
Fantasy Impact: Peavy is no stranger to pitching an opening day and has had lots of success doing so. He is also generally much stronger early in the season and could be a decent streaming option at the pitcher-friendly confines of AT&T Park.
Thu, Mar 3rd 3:43pm EST
By Jeff Krisko
Jake Peavy yielded six earned runs on nine hits in 1.2 innings pitched. He struck out two and walked none.
Fantasy Impact: Chris Carter took him deep in the first and a couple of doubles did more damage to Peavy. He was an NL-only option given he's getting up there in age and has trouble staying healthy. He provides little upside in any league.

San Francisco Giants right-hander Jake Peavy earned the win on Friday in a 9-1 blowout over the San Diego Padres. He made it through seven innings only allowing one run on two hits. Peavy did not walk a batter and recorded two strikeouts.
Fantasy Impact: Peavy has been much better at home than on the road this season. This was his second win in a row in September and he improved his home record to 4-2 with a 3.46 ERA. Peavy is set to make his next start at home on Wednesday against the Cincinnati Reds. Fantasy owners should consider Peavy for a spot start on Wednesday if he is available on the waiver wire.

San Francisco Giants SP Jake Peavy is set to take the mount Monday night on the road against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Peavy is coming off a recent win over the Chicago Cubs last Wednesday where he gave up two runs over 6 1/3 innings.
Fantasy Impact: This is a great matchup for Jake Peavy. In 27 career starts against the LA Dodgers, Peavy is 14-3 with a 2.30 ERA and 0.96 WHIP. Those types of numbers make a good case for Peavy to be in your starting lineup tonight.
Sun, Aug 9th 9:57pm EDT
By Benjamin Bukacek
Jake Peavy lost his first start since July 8tl on Sunday when the Chicago Cubs held off the Giants 2-0. Despite a decent performance, he was pulled after five innings because of a 101-pitch count. Peavy struck out six and gave up two runs on four hits.
Fantasy Impact: In five starts since the All-Star break, Jake Peavy has improved his ERA from 4.71 to 3.75. He is 2-1 in those starts and owns a 23:4 strikeout-walk ratio. Peavy did not receive the run support he needed on Sunday to get the win, but continued to post reasonable statistics across the stat line.

Jake Peavy has another pitching gem added to his resume. He pitched six innings and allowed five hits, one walk, one earned run and struck out eight. He is in line for the victory.
Fantasy Impact: Jake Peavy has been absolutely strong for the San Francisco Giants since coming off the DL. He did not allow a run against his last opponent the Milwaukee Brewers. He has only allowed 10 runs in 37.2 innings since returning for a 2.42 ERA. He has also won his last three games and has struck out 26 in those 37.2 innings
Tue, Aug 4th 7:03pm EDT

Jake Peavy will face off against the Atlanta Braves today at 7:30 pm EST. He will try to get the Giants off their two-game losing streak. (2-4, 4.12) takes the hill at Turner Field for the first time since April 2006 looking to build on his best outing of the season. Peavy allowed just four hits and didnt walk a batter in six innings of work against the Milwaukee Brewers in a 5-0 win,
Fantasy Impact: The righty has a 2.84 ERA in five starts since coming off the disabled list. His season ERA is not a reflection of what he has brought to the mound as he has obviously been dominating. If he is available he should be picked-up by you.

By Michael Valverde
Jake Peavy had another studly day on the mound today, yet the San Francisco Giants couldn't get him the help he needed to pull off the victory, Peavy tossed six scoreless innings while giving up just four hits. His command was crisp, as he struck out three batters but did not allow any walks.
Fantasy Impact: Peavy now has a 4.12 ERA with 25 strikeouts and 10 walks in 39 1/3 innings this season. Coming off the DL has put him in the right direction. His record is misleading as he lost two-games when the Giants were not hitting and is 2-2 in July. He has allowed only 10 earned runs in 31.2 innings in July.

Jake Peavy has pitched two games since being recalled from Sacramento. The results have been unpleasant. Peavy has done his part, as he has now pitched 13.1 innings and has given up three earned runs but got credited in game one as a loss, and after leaving today's game, it appears as though he may get the credit for another loss.
Fantasy Impact: The Giants are just not hitting, but Jake Peavy is doing what he needs to do and has looked good doing it. He should be on your radar, or on the team, as he could continue to give good value, especially in San Francisco.

By Michael Valverde
Jake Peavy will get the nod today in the rubber match against the New York Mets. This will be his second start after rehabbing from his injury in Sacramento. His first game back he pitched quite well, only allowing two runs in 6.1 innings, he will try to build from that momentum.
Fantasy Impact: Jake Peavy did not have a clean start to this season, as he was dealing with injury problems, therefore, being 0-3 this year with a 6.43 ERA is a little misleading. As with most Giant pitcher's he is a good streamer option at home, especially against a team such as the Mets who struggle to make contact.
Fri, Jul 3rd 2:20pm EDT
By Michael Valverde
Jake Peavy will be joining the San Francisco Giants. He will also be starting tonight against the Washington Nationals. The Giants have had a variety of injuries this year, especially with the elder pitching staff. Tim Lincecum, Tim Hudson, Matt Cain, have all partaken on the DL list.
Fantasy Impact: I am unsure where Jake Peavy will start in the rotation, but as it looks now, Madison Bumgarner, Matt Cain, Chris Heston, Ryan Vogelsong, and Peavy are all in the five-man rotation. Peavy should be not used in anything other than a streaming situation or in very deep leagues.
Sat, Apr 18th 12:16am EDT
By Jeff Krisko
Jake Peavy lasted only 3.2 innings, yielding 4 ER, striking out two and walking one.
Fantasy Impact: Peavy struggled in PetCo in his season debut, and struggled again in AT&T Park. Peavy had two of the friendliest fields to play in for his first two games of the season and walked away with a 9+ ERA for his efforts. He is likely not over his back issues and can be outright dropped in anything but the deepest of leagues.

By Jeff Krisko
In his first game back since leaving the Padres, Jake Peavy yielded four runs in as many innings, striking out five and walking three.
Fantasy Impact: Peavy was doing cruising through three until it all collapsed in the fourth inning. He's merely a streaming option in anything but the deepest of leagues. It was his first start after being out with a back injury, so he may just be knocking off the rust.
Sun, Apr 12th 1:27pm EDT
By Jeff Krisko
Jake Peavy's first start was skipped due to a back issue, but he is slated to be the Giants' starter Sunday at San Diego.
Fantasy Impact: The 33-year-old hurler enjoyed his best years as a Padre, and this is the first time he pitches in PetCo wearing any other uniform. He's coming off a back issue that flared up, but Peavy is fiery enough to pitch well just to make a point. He's worth playing if you feel like gambling.

San Francisco Giants pitcher Jake Peavy is still hopeful to start on the mound for Sunday's game against the San Diego Padres. Peavy has been dealing with soreness in his back and his status for Sunday is still unsure. (Source: Amy Gutierrez of CSN Bay Area on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: The decision to place Peavy on the DL could be decided today, depending on how his back is doing. If this does happen, Peavy has no fantasy value until healthy again. Peavy has a career ERA of 3.54.

The Giants have scratched Jake Peavy's start due to back discomfort, as Ryan Vogelsong will take the mound in his place Tuesday. (Source: Andrew Baggarly on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: This isn't the start Peavy was hoping for, and any back issues for a veteran pitcher are concerning. But at this point the team is hopeful he'll return for the weekend, likely Sunday according to Baggarly. Certainly monitor the situation, but hopefully Peavy is able to return without further issue.

Giants GM Bobby Evans stated that Peavy may miss his first start as they "iron some things out on the side." (Source: NBCSports.com)
Fantasy Impact: Ryan Vogelsong would slide into his place. Peavy was brilliant once he hit San Francisco last season, but gave up 20 earned runs in just over 18 innings pitched in Spring Training. It's unclear if he's dealing with a significant injury or if they're merely tweaking a mechanical issue. Weekly league players who were banking on his two-start week can't be happy.

Jake Peavy and the Giants agreed to a two-year, $24 million deal. (Source: ESPN)
Fantasy Impact: This will take Peavy through his age 35 season, and may be his last contract as a pro. Peavy played well with his time in San Francisco last season, posting a 2.17 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and a moderate 6.6 K/9. After his struggles in the American League with the White Sox and the Red Sox, Peavy is likely happy to return to the friendly confines of the pitcher-friendly parks of the NL West.

With help from federal grants, several Northwest researchers are hoping to push the technology forward. No Criminal Charges In Deadly Tesoro Refinery Explosion By John Ryan • Aug 18, 2014 Courtesy of Gordon Janz Listen Listening... / 1:50 The U.S. Department of Justice has closed its four-year criminal investigation into whether environmental and worker safety laws were broken leading up to the fatal Tesoro refinery blast. Video: How Ready Are Portland Firefighters For An Oil Train Derailment? By Alexi Horowitz • Aug 5, 2014 PORTLAND -- Three oil trains roll through the city each week en route to a shipping terminal down the Columbia River near Clatskanie, Oregon. If one of them were to derail, Portland firefighters say they're not equipped for a major spill, fire, or explosion along the lines of last year's Lac-Megantic explosion in Quebec, Canada. Portland Fire and Rescue Lt. Dave Keller says the city's fire department could only adequately respond to a smaller-scale derailment -- maybe one car leaking fuel or one car on fire. 5 Safety Concerns With Shipping Oil By Water By Cassandra Profita • Aug 1, 2014 While many Northwest communities are focused on the safety risks of shipping crude oil by rail, a new report raises safety concerns about another shipping method: oil by water. Across the country, more and more domestically produced oil is being shipped by barges and tankers as pipelines fill up to capacity. The report, by the non-partisan Congressional Research Service, concludes: "This rather sudden shift in transportation patterns raises concerns about the safety and efficiency of oil tankers and barges."

Recent reviews
Good 3.9 /5 from 61 reviews
Nice hotel in center of town. Service was excellent but unfortunately our AC didn't work and there was no one on duty to fix it. So, it was warm and a bit loud in the room with the balcony door open. Breakfast was ok but not 4 star quality. There was also a hole in the bathroom towel.
Excellent hotel. Great location, great location and good rate. Good value
In the old city on a pedestrian street a little hard to find but centrally located. Parking is extra in a public lot (rate is discounted by the hotel) but the lot is a few blocks away. . Not quite sure why check in took so long as we were only 2 couples checking in but the front desk attendants were very nice. In all, hotel was adequate .
Inexpensive hotel close to sights. Minimal amenities. Parking under hotel for a reasonable cost.
Disappointed as there's no Wifi. Over rated as 4* Hotel. The Staff doesn't speak English. We can't search restaurant from internet, nor the Staff can help with no English. At lest the breakfast was good enough.

I am sharing with you today my not so traditional Christmas Wreath.
I started this project with a wreath that I found at my local Thrift Store for $1.00
and me singing I'll be home for Christmas…
The first thing I did was to remove all of the 4th of July happiness that it was on the wreath.
This is how it looked after the cleanup.
At the Dollar Store I found these gold eucalyptus branches.
All I did was gather a bunch of them together and tied them with some wire.
I put the eucalyptus aside…
{ the smell took me back to the early 90′ when it seemed like every home had eucalyptus garlands or wreaths… Do you remember that? }
…and I began making a small nest with the paper.
{ You can find this paper at the Dollar Store as well. It comes in a small bag }
With the help of some more wire I gathered the paper together until it looked like a nest.
Then I used Glitter Bast Spray by Krylon to give it a bit of sparkle.
Take a look!
The third element of the wreath was the small word JOY.
I used the same scrapbook embellishments that I used for my Fabric Leftovers Wreath.
I bought them years ago but you can find similar letters at your local Michaels or any craft store in the scrapbooking area.
I tied the letter with some strings that came out from some burlap I had around and I hung them from a branch…
Having all of the elements of the wreath all I had left was to put it together.
So I did!
I really like the simple natural look of it…
Don't you love the little bird?
I do!
It was an ornament that I found at Michaels… I brought home a bunch of them with me to hang on my tree…
So cute!
I love Christmas!
Hopefully sometime this week I'm ready to give you a tour of my living room…
Stay tuned!

A giant white horse was announced today as a new £2 million public art commission in south-east England dubbed the "Angel of the South".
The winning design, by former Turner Prize winner Mark Wallinger, was selected from a three-strong shortlist as part of the Ebbsfleet Landmark Project.
His design will see a horse standing on all four hooves at 33 times life-size.
Once built, the artwork will dominate the north Kent landscape, standing as high as Nelson's Column at around 164ft (50m).
Today's announcement was made at Swan Valley Community School in Swanscombe in Kent, which overlooks the Springhead Park area where the giant statue will be built.
The sculpture will be seen by up to 60 million people per year and will be more than twice as tall as Antony Gormley's 66ft (20m) high Angel Of The North sculpture in Gateshead in 1998.
Wallinger said: "This is a tremendously exciting project. There was some very tough competition and I am honoured that the horse has won through."
The other two shortlisted designs included a steel latticework "nest" by Richard Deacon and a tower of stacked cubes by Daniel Buren.
Project leaders hope the work will act as a symbol for the new Ebbsfleet Valley development and Ebbsfleet International railway station.
The next stage is to start the planning process with the local authority, Gravesham Borough Council, which is expected to last at least 12 months.
Wallinger said: "I and the team very much look forward to working with Gravesham Borough Council as the planning process progresses."
Planners aim to transform the area with up to 10,000 new homes, offices, shops and community facilities across a 400-acre site.
More than 50,000 people commented on the design proposals during a public exhibition last year at the Bluewater Shopping Centre near Dartford.
The board of the Ebbsfleet Landmark Project endorsed the decision of the Ebbsfleet Landmark Project Selection Panel after considering the comments.
Victoria Pomery, chair of the Ebbsfleet Landmark Project Selection Panel, said: "Our decision was made on artistic merit and Mark's outstanding response to the brief. I am confident it is the right one.
"Mark is a superb artist of world renown and his sculpture will become a real landmark for Ebbsfleet and the whole region."
More than £1 million has been raised to date by the project's founding patrons - Eurostar, Land Securities and London & Continental Railways.
Speaking on behalf of the patrons, Stephen Jordan, chair of the Ebbsfleet Landmark Project Board, said: "In spite of the current recession, this project remains important for the 25-year task of building sustainable communities in the Ebbsfleet Valley and strong economic development around Ebbsfleet International station.
"All involved are committed to design excellence and Mark's stunning concept reflects that aim.
"Now we can focus the further technical development and other practical studies on just one design as we find out what the planners make of it."
Ben Ruse, of London & Continental Railways, said it was "impossible" to predict a completion date after being questioned on whether it will be finished by the 2012 Olympics in London.
He said: "The important thing for us is that, now we have got the design, we will not compromise and it's not something we will lumber the Kent countryside with."
Born in Chigwell, Essex, in 1959, Wallinger studied at the Chelsea School of Art and at Goldsmiths College, where he also later taught.
He exhibited throughout the 1980s and in 1993 was included in the Young British Artists II exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery.
He was also one of the artists featured in the Sensation exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts in 1997.
In 1998 he was awarded the Henry Moore Fellowship at the British School in Rome and in 2000 a retrospective of his work, Credo, was exhibited at Tate Liverpool.
In 2007, he won the Turner Prize for his painstaking recreation in the Duveen Galleries at Tate Britain of Brian Haw's protest display outside Parliament at Westminster.
Wallinger said his design was a "symbol that's spectacular".
Speaking of the significance of the site, he said: "This has been a route in and out of the country for millennia. As an incredibly ambitious project which is going to take 25 years, it's going to be nice for people to say 'I live by the white horse'.
"Most new towns are known more for roundabouts than sculptures. Lots of things came together quite quickly for me to decide on the white horse.
"Scale is everything and that will mean, I hope, that people will take it to their hearts. At the end of the day, it's just a horse in the field but it's a symbol that's spectacular."

Supporters of Proposition 31 say the measure would provide badly needed reform and transparency to Sacramento. It would switch California to a two-year budget cycle, require performance reviews of state programs and limit certain expenditures over $25 million. But critics say that Prop. 31 is poorly drafted, will waste taxpayers' money and create new layers of bureaucracy. Do you think state government needs to be reformed? And is this the right approach?

Improving and Safeguarding Social Wellbeing - A Strategy for Social Work in Northern Ireland
Ten strategic priorities to build a strong foundation for social work now and into the future are identified and these are categorised under three inter-dependent themes: strengthening the capacity of the workforce; Improving social work services; building leadership and trust in the profession.
A whole systems approach is being taken to implement the strategy involving key players in the delivery system for social workers as well as service users and carers.
The implementation of the strategy will be a driver to improve outcomes for service users and strengthen the effectiveness and reputation of social work and social workers.
Review of the roles and deployment of senior and principal social work practitioners in Northern Ireland – June 2014
The DoH commissioned SCIE to carry out a review of the roles and deployment of the senior and principal social work practitioner (SP and PP) roles in Northern Ireland.
The findings of the review indicate wide-spread support for a practitioner career pathway across the UK and would cite NI as being further ahead of other countries in the UK in this regard having introduced SPs in 1994 and PPs in 2006.
However, the review also identifies inconsistencies in job descriptions and requirements and roles and responsibilities across bands 7 and 8a social work posts, including the SP and PP roles. The report outlines a number of next steps which will be considered by the DoH and the HSC Board and will inform decisions regarding future workforce planning and deployment of SPs and PPs in Northern Ireland to achieve greater consistency and ensure social work skills and expertise are available where they are most needed.

text: 000 FXUS63 KARX 240859 AFDARX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service La Crosse WI 259 AM CST Fri Feb 24 2017 .SHORT TERM...(Today through Saturday) Issued at 259 AM CST Fri Feb 24 2017 Early this morning, water vapor satellite showed the upper level low was over central Nebraska. The surface low was displaced from the upper level system and was over northern Missouri. Precipitation was falling across much of the area from this system with snow along and north of Interstate 90 and rain/drizzle or a mix to the south. The upper level low still has a positive tilt to it, but the 24.00Z models along with the 24.06Z RAP all continue to show this taking on more a neutral tilt as it works east today into this evening. This will cause the pv advection in the 500-300 mb layer to increase but the models all take the stronger advection south of the forecast area. Some jet dynamics will help to increase the forcing on the poleward side of the upper level low as the divergence aloft should be amplified by coupled jet structure. Good low level thermodynamics will produce 5 to 10 ubar/s of up glide on the 290K isentropic surface this morning and then 3 to 6 ubar/s from late this afternoon through much of the afternoon. This will be come lighter, but continue well into this evening with a weak trowal that is expected to form on the back side of the surface low. With plenty of forcing, no doubt the precipitation will continue, but the concern going forward is how much additional precipitation, what type will it be and will blizzard conditions be reached. A bit of a lull in the precipitation at this time, but all the meso scale models suggest the deformation zone should spread back across most of the area by the start of the morning commute. The heaviest precipitation should then be this morning before diminishing some but continuing through the day with the forcing from the trowal. With the decrease in intensity for this afternoon and evening, the qpf amounts from the latest guidance look to be not quite as high as before which will then cut into the overall snow accumulations. Thinking another 4 to 8 inches today in the warning areas and with what has already fallen, some locations still likely to get a foot or more, but not sure about the 16 inch totals we were forecasting on the high end. As for the precipitation types, the dry slot on the east side of the upper level low was working north across southern Iowa. As this spreads into the area, especially the southeast sections, it will take the ice out of the clouds and set up the potential for more rain or freezing rain depending on air and road temperatures. The dry slot looks to remain into the afternoon before moving east and allowing ice clouds to spread back over the area. However, this could result in some ice accumulations of a 1 to maybe 2 tenths of an inch across northeast Iowa into southwest and central Wisconsin. Observations across southeast Minnesota indicate that blizzard conditions have yet to be reached with the visibility only briefly dropping below a mile for short periods of time. The strongest winds will be through this morning before these start to diminish as the surface low moves from northern Illinois into lower Michigan. The wet, heavy nature of the snow will also have some impact on just how much it can be picked up and moved around. Concerned that there may not be prolonged periods of whiteouts and that the blizzard warning may have to be downgraded. Do not plan to make any changes to this headline this morning but the dayshift may have to do so once the winds start to diminish. So for now, no significant changes to the forecast. All headlines will continue as is, but maybe a bit less snow than earlier expected. Storm total amounts of 6 to 14 inches in the warnings with up to a tenth of an inch of ice accumulations possible south of a Austin to Black River Falls line. In the advisory area, snow totals of 2 to 5 inches with 1 to 2 tenths of an inch of ice accumulation. .LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Thursday) Issued at 259 AM CST Fri Feb 24 2017 A weak system will zip across the Upper Midwest Saturday night and Sunday morning and could drop a little bit of light snow across portions of central and northern Wisconsin. The next chance for some precipitation will come Monday night and Tuesday as a system comes out of the central Rockies and lifts northeast toward the Great Lakes. With highs Tuesday expected to be in the 40s, the precipitation should start out as light snow and then go over to rain.

Mobile Health Tech Has the Power to Transform Quality of Care
Christian Stammel, founder and CEO of WT Wearable Technologies, sees more barriers for developers where health care app development is concerned because few fitness devices are being medically certified, which he interprets as fewer opportunities for health care developers. He said the fitness market is totally open for developers because there is less FDA restriction and fewer regulatory hurdles.
Enterprise: Create Value for the Patient
Munos said that there is a tendency in the tech world for companies to rush to market early with a product and then pray that people buy it. Instead, he suggested doing thorough market research with actual patients to find out what they need and might like. Take, for example, multiple sclerosis: Physicians like to track microscopic lesions, but patients care about mobility. Track mobility.
Stammel's take is similar to Munos'. He advised health care and fitness companies wanting to break into the market to start with the engineering component. "To the fitness companies, I say start with your engineering process so that later on your invention can obtain medical certification if you need it," he recommended. "To medical companies, I recommend they try to prevent designing devices that look like they come from the 'illness factor,' like products for ill people. They need to design their products to be more stylish without sacrificing functionality, so users find value and will also want to wear them because they're well-designed."
Fostering Innovation
First launched in 2009, WT Wearable Technologies Innovation World Cup is now a major competition in the field of wearable technologies. Contestants include developers, startups and researchers from all over the world. Entries are for accepted in the wearables, IMT and cloud areas. The competition categories include Sports & Fitness, Healthcare & Wellness, Gaming & Lifestyle, and Safety & Security. Special categories include Smart Clothing and Smart Jewelry.
Back to the Future
The impact of mobile health, wearable and sensor technology and apps on society will be huge. "There have been life-changing inventions like the personal computer, Internet and smartphone in the past. These technologies may be the next major life evolver," noted Munos.
They could reduce insurance costs by as much as 80 percent.
"Let's sit down with patients, find out what sort of data would be useful to them, and come up with something that will help them manage their health or disease," Munos said. "If we do that, not only will they endorse the solution, they'll help make it happen."

Wooo! That Groundhog day picture is by Leslie McKellar
I have to add my comment to this, just to make sure that a differing voice is heard. I thought the show was mesmerizing and arresting and well worth the money I paid to see it. If you read this comments and Dustin Waters own review of the show you will completely fail (in my mind) to understand the experience. I am offended that reviewers say it could be a waste of my money just because they didn't enjoy it. shame.
It was a collaboration! not a Hollywood movie. If you even read the four paragraph intro by the choreographer (in the program) most of your review becomes irrelevant.
no mention of the music. I think that was what made Mercato unique and desirable. Granted, I am biased because I played there for 5 years.
The New Music Collective has been around since 2005.
In that time we've presented dozens of concerts of contemporary music ranging from Steve Reich, Lou Harrison, Morton Feldman, and John Cage to Luigi Nono, Larry Polansky, Alvin Lucier, Jo Kondo, and Louie Andriessen. We've also played music by lesser known young contemporary composers like Ted Hearne, Nathan Koci, Mark So, Kyle Hilbrand, Christopher Cerrone, and Jacob Cooper as well as commissioned over 15 new works (world premieres!) for everything from duos to septets from local, regional, and national composers like KCM Walker, Nick Jenkins, Lisa Coons, Ted Hearne, Sean Friar, and Michael Pisaro.
In addition to performing these pieces (and rehearsing them) we have also invited nationally acclaimed musicians to perform for Charleston, including Ensemble Pamplemousse, Red Light New Music, ZAHA, Nomos String Trio. We've also not limited ourselves to "contemporary concert music" hosting ensembles such as The Claudia Quintet, Gutbucket, Tatsuya Nakatani and Eugene Chadbourne, Kenosha Kid, Meridien Percussion Trio, and Keefe Jackson's Fast Citizens.
Also, we have reached out to collaborate with artists in different fields. We've collaborated with an improvisational dancer from France named Aurore Gruel, a dance troupe in Columbia, SC, Pure Theatre to write music for the production of a Sarah Ruhl play, Geoff Cormier and the Halsey Institute to write music for a Shadow Puppet show,
We have put on at least 7 concerts a year every year for the last 7 years (as many as 13 concerts in 2009). It is therefore a little difficult to take the quote "Before [Magnetic South], Spoleto was really the only chance we got to hear contemporary music." I greatly respect Drs. Hart and Vassilandonakis for what they are doing and I don't mean to diminish their achievements and goals by any means. They are definitely gaining a popularity that has evaded the New Music Collective thus far. But I submit that it is not the only contemporary music that has been happening and the real big difference is not that it is contemporary, but that it is institutionally backed. The College and the CSO are a great pair for their marketability, at least, and I'm glad the music can transcend that. It's just unfortunate that history is being written with a relatively quick pen and ignoring some of the year round presentations of contemporary music that have been happening outside of Spoleto.
I blame myself for not being able to get the word out more. Hopefully the Magnetic South Series can continue create the dialogues about contemporary music that we started to back in 2005.

Pentax has announced four additional lenses for its new Q mount. As well as the kit 47mm equivalent F1.9 '01 Standard Prime' lens that will come with the camera, the company has also announced the '02 Standard Zoom' that will offer 28-83mm equivalent focal lengths. Alongside these will be three more affordable, fun lenses. The 03 Fisheye, 04 Toy Lens Wide and 05 Toy Lens Telephoto are designed to make accessible the creativity that interchangeable lenses can bring. The latter three lenses are all manual focus and fixed aperture to keep costs down.
Zoom, Fish-Eye, Toy Telephoto Among Selection
GOLDEN, CO. (June 23, 2011)…In addition to the standard lens announced today, PENTAX Imaging Company has announced four accessory Q-mount lenses designed for exclusive use with the PENTAX Q – the world's smallest, lightest interchangeable lens system camera (ILC).* Each new lens is highly compact and lightweight with an optimized image circle to match the size of the Q's CMOS image sensor. This new Q-mount lens series offers PENTAX Q users a comprehensive lens selection.
PENTAX 02 Standard Zoom
With a focal length equivalent to a 27.5-83.0mm zoom lens in the 35mm format, this standard zoom lens is ideal for wide angle to medium telephoto range. With four extra-low-dispersion and low-refractive aspherical optical elements, the lens offers exceptional image rendition while effectively reducing chromatic aberration to a minimum over the entire zoom range. The Standard Zoom features a minimum focusing distance of 11.8 inches (30 centimeters) at all focal lengths for close-up photography. Featuring a high-grade finish, this lens incorporates the special optical glass elements and PENTAX exclusive lens coating technology for beautifully defined, high quality images that are sharp and high contrast even to the edges. The AF motor installed in the lens assures smooth, quiet focusing operation. The lens shutter mechanism allows the PENTAX Q's built-in auto flash to be synchronized to the camera's top shutter speed of 1/2000 second (or 1/250 second when using an accessory flash unit). This lens is also equipped with a built-in ND (neutral density) filter for open aperture shooting at bright locations or when using slower shutter speeds. The lens price $299.95 USD.
Three additional lenses also are announced. Each offers outstanding value at an affordable price so users may produce a variety of distinctive, dramatic images. Each features manual focus operation, fixed aperture and lightweight lens mount minus a lens shutter unit to reduce size and weight.
PENTAX 03 Fish-Eye
This ultra wide angle lens offers an extra wide 160 degree angle of view allowing photographers to create a fish eye visual effect. The distinctive ultra wide angle characteristics produce unique, eye-catching images with an exaggerated, distorted perspective and a pan-focus effect that captures every element in the image field in sharp focus. The lens price is $129.95.
PENTAX 04 Toy Lens Wide and PENTAX 05 Toy Lens Telephoto
With optics designed specifically to retain various lens aberrations, these lenses produce subdued, nostalgic images like photos taken with a traditional toy camera. The Toy Lens Wide is a unifocal wide angle field of view with a focal length equivalent to 35mm in the 35mm format. The PENTAX 05 Toy Lens Telephoto is a unifocal medium telephoto lens with a focal length equivalent to 100mm in the 35mm format. The PENTAX 04 Toy Lens Wide price is $79.95 and the PENTAX 05 Toy Lens Telephoto is $79.95.
Additional accessories for the PENTAX Q system lenses will include the following (prices and availability to be announced):
PENTAX-100 PL Filter
Attached to the PENTAX 01 Standard Prime or PENTAX02 Standard Zoom, the 40.5mm polarizing filter minimizes reflections on the water or glass surface, which are difficult to remove during digital processing, to assure crisp, high contrast images.
MH-RA 40.5mm
A metallic, dome-shaped lens hood for exclusive use with the PENTAX 01 Standard Prime lens.
PH-SBA 40.5mm Lens
A plastic, square-shaped lens hood for exclusive use with the PENTAX 02 Standard Zoom lens.
Initially, the PENTAX Q system will ship in Japan. Anticipated shipping time to the United States is early Fall 2011.
Each of these lenses may be pre-ordered now on www.pentaxwebstore.com The PENTAX 01 Standard Prime kit lens will not be sold separately. More information is available here: www.pentaximaging.com/news
* The world's smallest and lightest digital interchangeable lens system camera, as of June 15, 2011 (based on PENTAX research).

Very cool idea IMHO. Most of my pix are used on the web or viewed on-screen so ultimate IQ isn't important to me most of the time. Apart from the price and lack of any inbuilt viewfinder I cannot see any reason to quibble. Manual controls rather than dials is appealing. Hopefully the price will drop, and Pentax will release a prime wide angle equivalent to 24mm or less, and a longer zoom.
Provided someone offers lens mount adapters lots will be able to be done with legacy glass. With a crop factor of ~5.5, 50mm is equal to 275mm, and 135mm is ~740mm(!) with both easily transportable.
Assuming no major problems arise and that the price comes down this will definitely appeal to some people. Those who don't like it don't have to buy it...
Deary me, I don't understand why people are getting so upset about this new camera system. If you don't like it, don't buy it and go elsewhere. An aweful lot of speculation with no substance due to there being no production as yet. Sheesh, so much horror happening in the world these days, and people complain about a camera they're probably never going to use. I used to have a number of SLR's in the days of proper cameras, along with a rangefinder or two. I also had the Pentax 110 SLR, until they stopped making 110 film. Small, grainy film that couldn't be enlarged terribly well, but it did what it was supposed to do in the field it was designed for.
Great concept but small, small, small sensor. I might as well use my iPhone, as, I'm sure, many will instead.
Toy lenses in the age of fabulous digital post-production apps? What for?
What's the f-value of the standard zoom? Not 3.5-5.6 I hope.
1/2000 flash sync rocks though!
Pentax, give it a work over in APS-C and then we can talk.
Funny how silly people criticise it, even without having used it or tested the camera. I proudly own a fantastic Pentax K-r and I´m sure this little thing will surprise everybody.
Nevermind the sensor size. If Q can take good quality photos, this is the most important issue.
-1 Well, that's really a BIG "if". Should have been "only if"... And if Q can take good quality photos, imagine how much better quality photos that 1/1.7 can produce...
"Nevermind the sensor size"
Well, unless Pentax learned to bend the laws of physics, sensor size will matter. More sensor area = more light to capture = less noise. So, I don't think the criticism comes from silly people...
I'm like many others and don't get it. On the one hand the camera must be aimed a more enthusiast type user, given the advanced specs and interchangeable lenses, but then it's shoots itself in the foot with the appalling 1/2.3" format. Why is this even considered in a serious camera in 2011? Even if this had of been a 1/1.6" sensor it would have made more sense. But saddle that with the high price and the fact you can get m4/3 camera and lens for less money what's the point? I think the upcoming Olympus Pen mini and pancake lens will be vastly better proposition if you want small but high quality.
Without doubt, this is THE smallest ILC. Not from Samsung, not from Sony, not from Panasonic or Olympus, but from Pentax. Perhaps that has a substantial marketing value, paving the way for other Pentax family cameras?
What is the advantage of all this crap over the standard point-and-shoot 12x zoom (like Panasonic Z**)?
That one can usually design a better prime or limited range zoom lens than a multi-purpose mega-zoom.
Also, cheap lenses for small sensors means they can produce cheap fun things like super wide fish eyes, etc. that are not a possibility with a fixed lens (adapters suck) or a full size sensor (lenses would be big, heavy, and expensive)
This could be a very fun cheap camera.
when are Nikon or Canon coming out with their 4/3rd? I'm tired of all these lame brands.
They probably are, but they are bigger companies with much invested in the current product line. They also can't move as fast as these smaller companies.
digital holga/lomo/diana
if only the price was holga/lomo/diana too
Was this by chance designed by the same guy who brought us the Sigma SD1
Actually, I really don't get it.
What is the point of this camera system?
I just don't see the point of it. Any of it!
Those who don't want to lug around with many heavy lenses AND want a camera this small don't want swappable lenses anyway! Why not just get something like the Canon S95 that has a small size and retractable zoom lens and a bigger sensor? I agree with Roger - with the Sony NEX, Oly and Panny m43 for those who don't want to lug big lenses and cameras like the S95 and XZ1 for pocketable cams, why would anyone bother with this? Especially at that price point!
I believe this will attract lovers of Lomo, taken lomography into the digital world.
I like the afordability offered with these additional lenses - most companies ask more, not less, for their speciality lenses. Nicely done Pentax.
so far we have seen excellent results from pentax small glass (Limited pancake), AF motor, Flash sync to 1/2000, ND filter, not bad lens at all. Leaf shutter has it's advantages as well. Of course DOF is large but you can PP your images today.
particularly, possibly, teen hipsters who've been shooting with film and stuff. I just saw the image of the Pentax Q camera with the pop up flash- definitely looks goofy enough to not be serious, but quirky and attractive enough to be liked by at least one group of people.
Hm....seeing that three lenses at launch are cheap, fun effect ones (which to me makes sense, because I never understood why I would want to buy like a $700 lens JUST for fisheye when I can simply do a digital effect), I can kind of see where Pentax might be going with this.
Small sensor, cheap effect lenses- this could be for point and shoot upgraders who like the feel of a bigger body and changing lenses but might not want to invest in a more serious system.
But at best, this will be an even smaller niche group than what mirrorless already is. I hate to be a sensor size dependent observer, but there's just no point in investing in a system with good quality lenses if you're not getting any sensor benefit for the extra bulk and size.
how very very odd!
Think the size of the standard zoom makes it unpocketable, in which case have an slr.
Think they are aiming to be a cheap leica.
You know rennie12, I remember this new system called micro 4/3 that came out a few years ago that people laughed at, said it was stupid and would never sell, etc. Guess what? It's been very successful and lives on. Sony came out with their own and people ripped it for having it's own mount system and an odd body. Guess what? It sells really well too.
Fact is that this Pentax is different, it's interesting, and we don't know how it'll perform until we see images in the wild. No one thought an APS-C sensor could possibly do that well years ago and look what the K-5 is doing in terms of noise and dynamic range!
what about the size of standard zoom?
I would like to see the canparison picture between m43 standard zoom and this one.

external keyboard has stopped after fixing 'launcher problem'??
hi, I managed to fix my 'launcher has stopped' from the instructions on this site - thank you - clearing cache and then actually resetting factory settings even.
However, external blue tooth keyboard, which states that it must be reconnected if you reset factory settings, now when I try to connect again comes up with error message, incorrect pin or code - however, I am inputting the one as given on the bluetooth pairing each time. Now it could be the keyboard - (cheap..) - or is it something to do with previous error i wonder? any suggestions, or even recommendations for new keyboard would be gratefully received at this point. Thank you

Hey everyone,
Due to various reasons I am creating a new account on Gamespot. It will be the same as my PSN, Silos911. If anyone wants to add me feel free, I won't add you, mainly just because maybe you decided you don't really need another friend on Gamespot or some other reason.
Thanks to all of you for all the fun times.
Oh and if you would like me to join a union, send me an invite, I'll be selecting a few to actually actively participate in compared to many that I poke into from time to time.
