How close are we to a truly Smart Grid?
There are still hurdles to overcome, at least in the U.S., before the Smart Grid becomes reality.
The Smart Grid has the potential to transform the way in which energy is delivered and used. The grid promises to make it easier for both residential and industrial users to manage their energy consumption to achieve the maximum in comfort and convenience at the lowest possible cost. The grid also could open some new career opportunities for industrial automation professionals.
Tim Wallaert has followed the Smart Grid's evolution in his role as director of marketing for the energy segment with Belden, which supplies networking equipment for utility substations and other applications. Wallaert recently shared his unique perspective on the Smart Grid with Control Engineering.
CE: Where are we currently with the Smart Grid? How widespread is its implementation, and in what areas (geographically) is it the furthest along?
Wallaert: I think we should start by talking about what the Smart Grid is-and what it isn't. There are so many perceptions-and misperceptions-about the Smart Grid that it's always good to have a grounding conversation about it, if you will.
The first thing most people equate with the Smart Grid is smart meters. In reality, smart meters are only part of the Smart Grid.
I like to define the Smart Grid as adding two-way communication to the existing and emerging power distribution system.
The original power distribution system was built as a one-way channel. The Smart Grid is about adding twoway communication onto that channel for various reasons. So, you can assess the load on the channel, and you can monitor equipment performance downstream. And, especially important these days, is being able to control and adequately integrate sources of renewable energy that put power back on the grid.
Now, let's talk about the status of the Smart Grid. From a global perspective, China probably is where it's the furthest along. China has made massive investments in its overall electrical infrastructure, and much of that investment plays right into the Smart Grid. Europe probably is second, although they've had to slow down a bit recently because of the debt crisis.
What's happening in the U.S. can best be described as an uneven rollout. That's related, to a large degree, to the nature of the different countries.
For instance, China has one utility servicing most of its population. So, if that utility decides to build a nationwide grid, it can. In the U.S., we have a patchwork of utilities. Some are just involved in power generation, some are just involved in distribution, essentially operating the grid, and others are only involved in end-point customer servicing. You also have utilities of varying sizes-from large investor-owned utilities to municipal utilities and co-ops.
Each of these utilities has implemented something related to the Smart Grid. You might think that the larger utilities would be on the cutting edge of this movement. However, when you examine the landscape, you'll find in a lot of cases, the smaller operations have stepped out to do some of the groundbreaking stuff.
CE: What are the remaining major obstacles to widespread implementation of the Smart Grid in the U.S.?
Wallaert: There are three major obstacles:
- We're talking about large capital investments made in existing infrastructure. Substations cost millions of dollars to build, and they are designed to last 40 years on average. You don't want to throw all that out just to install new, smart equipment. Utilities have to figure out how to leverage those investments as they move to the Smart Grid.
- Utilities have to answer to public regulation commissions and/or investors, and they have to demonstrate a financial payback for anything they do, including transitioning to a Smart Grid.
- There is no true standard for Smart Grid equipment. Utilities need the certainty of being able to plug in equipment from different vendors and have it work properly. There is some movement in this area, but we're not quite there yet.
CE: Control Engineering readers primarily are users of industrial automation technology. What are the primary things these users should know-from both a technology and an organizational perspective-in order to make a smooth transition to the Smart Grid?
Wallaert: If a company does nothing, the Smart Grid will come to it whether it likes it or not. Eventually, your utility company will connect smart meters to your plant; it will introduce new rate plans based on usage patterns. The utilities will reach out and touch the industrial automation guy. There will be considerations that will need to take place if your company has its own power generation that you want to integrate into the Smart Grid.
CE: Belden has published white papers stating that Smart Grid technology is blazing a trail for a new generation of industrial networks. What types of Smart Grid technology can industrial automation users adapt to their own networks?
Wallaert: A major concern for utilities is making sure that their networks run continuously without any corruption of data. They also need networks that are built for the long haul-that can withstand harsh environments. So, as utility companies devise these two-way communication networks that can perform safely and reliably under the harshest conditions, people running industrial plants can adopt that same technology for their own use.
CE: We hear a lot about the Smart Grid triggering a "data explosion" on utility system networks. Should users also expect a data explosion as industrial facilities start connecting to the Smart Grid? And if so, how should users react?
Wallaert: It's funny you should mention that. I remember similar concerns being raised when Ethernet networks were introduced to production environments. Suddenly, plant managers were being deluged with all sorts of new information. They went from only looking at simple control information to seeing information on machine diagnostics, uptime parameters, bottlenecks, and throughput counts. And at first, they didn't know what to do with all this new information.
Ultimately, they figured out they could use that information to improve both their production processes and customer service. Now, we see end customers placing orders online and entering requests to track those orders through the production process to their front door, and we think nothing of it.
Both utility companies and energy users will have similar experiences as they move to the Smart Grid. The utilities will find new ways to monitor equipment performance, which will save them money. And users will have easier access to information on how they're using energy in their plants, which will help in finding ways of using that energy more efficiently.
CE: Will industrial automation users have to develop any new skills as companies move to the Smart Grid? Will there be potential new career opportunities once the Smart Grid takes hold?
Wallaert: The skills related to setting up, designing, and maintaining industrial Ethernet networks will remain in demand as the Smart Grid emerges. Companies also will need to think about analyzing the new sets of information they will get from smart systems.
In the realm of data analysis, there are two areas that may present opportunities for career growth. One is mastering the nuances of load shifting. The other is becoming an expert in old-fashioned efficiency.
Load shifting is important because utilities use it to optimize power delivery by getting as many users as possible off the network during peak usage periods. Industrial users can get substantial rate discounts if they agree to shut down production equipment during peak usage hours. They also can get discounts if they agree to shut down equipment if the utility notifies them of an expected "event," such as an upcoming heat wave, that is likely to trigger heavy demand for air conditioning.
Going forward, companies are likely to value professionals who can devise strategies for taking advantage of load shifting discounts without interrupting critical production runs. Individuals with a good grasp of creating overall strategies for optimizing energy efficiency also will be highly valued.
Companies will either develop or hire people internally to fill these roles, or they will contract with consulting firms that have that expertise.
CE: We've heard that the Smart Grid will make utilities more vulnerable to potential cyber-attacks. Should industrial automation users have the same concerns about cyber security and the Smart Grid that utility company managers have?
Wallaert: Any organization with communications equipment in its operational areas-whether it's a wastewater treatment plant or a steel mill-needs to be concerned about security. Historically, the security on industrial automation networks was an afterthought, if it existed at all.
The primary concern was making it easy to get access to equipment to make sure it was up and running. There was a false sense of security because plant-level systems weren't connected to the outside world. Utilities had the same bias. Then something called the Stuxnet worm came along, and that false sense of security was shattered.
(Editor's note: The Stuxnet worm was a computer virus discovered in 2010 that targeted industrial automation equipment produced by Siemens. It is believed to have been transmitted via thumb drives, sidestepping the need for infected systems to be connected to outside networks.)
CE: Given all the potential pitfalls and challenges we've discussed, would you still advise industrial automation users to pursue moving to the Smart Grid, and why?
Wallaert: If there's something to be embraced in the Smart Grid, it's the opportunity to improve operations through energy efficiency.
Another trend I'm seeing is the implementation of micro-grids, which basically are small generating facilities with solar panels on the roof or wind turbines in the back of plants. These allow companies to cut their energy costs, and in some cases get money back from their utility. Any dollar that doesn't get spent with your local utility is another dollar of profit for the company. With the price of these technologies now, the payback is getting very attractive. To be able to implement a solar farm on your campus, you'll need to participate in the Smart Grid.
You're going to have to be able to tell the main grid, "I don't need power right now because I'm generating it myself, or I have excess power right now, and I'm selling it back to you."
Those are things related to the Smart Grid that companies-and control engineers in particular-should be prepared to manage.

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the listed amps? I can get a Lehman BCL for $500 or less but I'm also interested in the Lake People G-103S or G109S... My current headphones are: Fostex T50RPs (Mad Dogs), Denon D5000, Ultrasone Signature Pros, Sennheiser HD600s and soon the Denon D600s.
I love the versatility of the Lake People amps regarding gain switches but haven't heard any of them? If I choose any of these, I'll probably purchase from Thomann or directly from LP...
So which way I should go?
Any comments or suggestions?
P.S. I'll be using my Nuforce Icon HDP as source (DAC).

Arizona is taking on immigration once again, with state lawmakers collecting donations from the public to put fencing along every inch of the state's porous Mexican border in a first-of-its-kind effort.
The idea came from state Sen. Steve Smith, a Republican who says people from across the nation have donated about $255,000 to the project since July, when the state launched a fundraising website that urges visitors to "show the world the resolve and the can-do spirit of the American people."
Smith acknowledges he has a long way to go to make the fence a reality. The $255,000 collected will barely cover a half mile of fencing. Smith estimates that the total supplies alone will cost $34 million, or about $426,000 a mile. Much of the work is expected to be done by prisoners at 50 cents an hour.
The fence is Arizona's latest attempt to force a debate on whether the federal government is doing enough to stop illegal immigration.
Key provisions of the state's contentious immigration bill were suspended by a judge, and Gov. Jan Brewer is appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court to get them reinstated. Brewer also signed the fencing bill.
Critics of the private-fence plan say the idea is a misguided, piecemeal approach to border issues that will prove to be ineffective and hugely expensive. They point to the billions of dollars spent by the federal government to build fencing that hasn't stopped illegal immigration.
"You're going to get 50 yards of fencing, if that," says Alfredo Gutierrez, a former Democratic state senator and immigrant-rights advocate who ran for governor in 2002.
But Smith and other supporters don't care.
They say the federal government has done little to secure the border and that additional fencing will close gaps exploited by smugglers and illegal immigrants.
Even if the fence isn't completed, Smith and others believe the project will send a message to Washington.
They have found support for the idea from Border Patrol agents.
"I take my hat off to them," says George McCubbin, a Border Patrol agent in Casa Grande and president of the National Border Patrol Council, the agency's union. "I don't believe it's the state's responsibility, but by them attempting this, they will continue to have this problem brought out, and hopefully someone will take notice of it."
Although he praises the effort, McCubbin says, "A fence slows down traffic. It doesn't stop it."
The fence project is being overseen by the 15-member Joint Border Security Advisory Committee, comprised of lawmakers, state law-enforcement officials and four sheriffs, including Maricopa County's Joe Arpaio. The committee will decide when and where to put up the new fencing and what construction firms win bids.

Public to get H1N1 vaccine
Clinic in Celina
After weeks of clinics, health officials locally and across the state will begin next week to vaccinate the general public against the H1N1 flu.
The first general public clinic is Dec. 15 at Celina High School from 3:30-7 p.m. Adults are asked to bring identification such as a driver's license. There is no charge.
Previous H1N1 flu clinics targeted high risk groups only such as pregnant women, young children, health care workers and those with chronic health conditions. Those priority populations are still urged to get vaccinated if they haven't yet done so, officials say.
Even though people over the age of 65 are not considered at high risk for the H1N1 flu, they can receive the H1N1 vaccine beginning next week if they choose, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention.
Nearly 2.3 million doses of the vaccine are already available in the state of Ohio and more is expected to arrive each week. Officials evaluated several factors such as supply and input from local health departments before making the decision to distribute the vaccine to the general public.
Influenza is still considered widespread in Ohio - one of 25 states across the U.S. still dealing with a high number of H1N1 cases. The most recent data from the CDC states that 251 people have died in the U.S. from H1N1 flu since April 26. Ohio has reported 30 deaths including a middle-age Van Wert man who passed away in mid-November.
Ohioans are still urged to take precautions against the H1N1 flu and the seasonal flu, which typically arrives in the local area in late December or early January. Steps that can be taken to stop the spread of the illnesses include washing hands thoroughly and often, covering mouths when sneezing or coughing and staying home from work or school when sick.
For more information on the vaccine, check out the Ohio Department of Health's Web site at www.flu.ohio.gov or call the information line at 866-800-1404 from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Call me old fashioned, but unlike Joaquin Phoenix in the film Her, I'll never fall in love with a computer, Apple's Siri, or any other digital assistant. Siri is helpful, but does it work as well as Google Now? According to Gene Munster, a Piper Jaffray analyst who performed a rather painstaking analysis of the subject, there's almost no difference between the two – though the Android version has a very slight edge.
Munster and his team tested the digital assistants by posing 800 questions to each and then rating them on their ability to interpret and answer each query. To see if ambient noise made a difference, they tested the phones both inside and outside. The questions centred on five categories: local information, commerce, navigation, general information and OS commands.
Google Now correctly answered 86 percent of all questions, while Siri scored 84 percent. I'm not at all sure that's a significant difference, but Munster gave Google Now a 'B' grade, and Siri got a 'B-'. Munster reported the results in a pair of investor notes that are not publicly available on the web.
One issue Munster doesn't address to my satisfaction is how well the assistants understand the speech of different users. Unlike real voice recognition software that understands you better as you use it, Siri and Google Now do their processing in the cloud and deal with information from millions of users. As a result, they don't learn from individual users who may have different accents and pronunciations. Siri, for example, consistently writes 'Ross' when I dictate my daughter's name, 'Roz'.
Google Now's navigation, local and general-information skills are its strongest capabilities, according to Munster. Siri is stronger in interpreting OS commands, such as song play, when the artist is mentioned in the query.
Siri can answer questions using two sources at once. In one example, Munster asked "Where is Mt. St. Helen?"The personal assistant provided information from both Apple Maps and Wikipedia.
In the past, "Google Now has had an advantage over Siri because it uses Google Search, Google Maps and Google Play together to provide an integrated and comprehensive answer to queries," Munster said. "Siri is catching up on this front."
Munster noted that Siri does not sort search results by price or hours of availability. Google Now, however, gives users the ability to filter results based on price, location, rating and hours.
The real takeaway from Munster's analysis isn't so much the difference between the two systems, but the fact that they both do a difficult task (voice assistance) rather well.

All of them had open mouths. Theirs was a perpetual screaming. They were dead and they knew it. In every raw fiber and evaporated organ they knew it. She stood listening to them scream. They say dogs hear sounds humans never hear, sounds so many decibels higher than normal hearing that they seem nonexistent. The corridor swarmed with screams. Screams poured from terror-yawned lips and dry tongues, screams you couldn't hear because they were so high.

How To Build a Champagne Tower
Are you looking for a simple but stunning idea for your reception? Try a glamorous Champagne tower. Aisha Thompson (Veuve Clicquot brand manager) and John Wyatt (Tentation Potel and Chabot event director) share tips on how to recreate one for your event.
Photography: Larry Fink
Source: Martha Stewart Weddings, Spring 2008
A firm, solid base for your tower
Coupe Champagne glasses
Start with a firm, solid base for your tower (a separate table is best, with spillage tray at the base or underneath to catch any overflow.)
Always use coupe Champagne glasses (retro rounded saucer cups), not flutes. All of the coupe glasses in the tower should be identical. Most party rental places will have coupe glasses on hand for weddings.
The tower is essentially made up of successively smaller layers of squares. For example, if the bottom layer is 10 glasses by 10 glasses, the layer above that would be nine by nine, the layer above that eight by eight, and so on.
Make sure each glass touches the surrounding glasses. When done right, you'll see a diamond-shaped gap between each glass.
When building the next layer, center the stem of the glass over the diamond openings that were created by the layer below. Gingerly fill in the layer with glasses.
Repeat this assembly process until there is a single coupe glass on top.
Once fully assembled, begin slowly pouring Champagne from the the top glass and it will trickle downward. Larger-size Champagne bottles or magnums work best here.
If you're using the tower for decorative purposes only, assemble and fill with Champagne before the celebration. Then have trays filled with fresh Champagne at the base or passed to your guests.

Blink Meaning and Definition in Wikipedia
Blink-182 is a popular pop-punk band formed in 1992. The original band name was blink. They later had to add on the "182" suffix due to an Irish techno band who had the same name that had been around longer and threatened to sue the band. Although the change, fans still refer the band as just "Blink". Tom DeLonge, who played guitar, had been friends with Ann Hoppus while living in San Diego. He had often complained about wanting to start a band. Ann then introduced Tom to her younger brother, Mark Hoppus, who played bass. They later found drummer Scott Raynor to complete the trio. In 1998, midway through a North American tour, Raynor left the band to continue his education. Raynor was also rumoured as having been forced to leave the band by its remaining members, due to his drinking problem. Travis Barker, who had been drumming for The Aquabats at the time, filled in for Blink 182 on the drums to finish out the rest of the tour. Tom and Mark were so impressed that they had Barker become the bands full-time drummer. Blink-182 can be known for their catchy pop-punk songs and toilet Humor (their live album especially, which contained a song consisting entirely of swear words). In February 2005, the band announced that they were going on an "indefinite hiatus". They stated that they were going to take a break for a while. However now all three members have confirmed that they have no plans of getting back together in the future, due to DeLonge going on to create the band Angels & Airwaves and Hoppus and Barker to create the band +44.

Could you please look into reformatting our scientific submissions for Siggraph/ICMC for the following conference:
This seems to be a perfect combination of music and hci.
Call me if you have questions. Let's have a meeting next Tuesday to figure out roadmap and deadlines. Ideally, we should have a rough draft ready by week's end. Please feel free to use ICMC papers as a foundation but we need to provide a different angle.

Astara Blue Flame Purifying Gel Cleanser Reviews
If you're into natural products and home-made beauty products, you know that fresher is better. But did you also know colder is better too? I don't mean freezing cold, don't go throwing your soap in the freezer or anything. What i mean is cold processed products: products made without heating the ingredients over 104 degrees. (think of what happens when you over-cook vegetables, yuck!) Astara clai...read morems to use all natural, cold-processed ingredients, which is great, especially when you see their prices! But i really feel you're getting your money's worth here. A little goes a long way with this cleanser. It's not a rock star when it comes to removing eye-makeup, i use my Jane Iredale magic mitt first to remove makeup, or a cotton pad soaked in jojoba oil, then cleanse to treat my acne-prone, congested skin. It is a bit strong so sensitive skin beware. The tea tree in it burns, especially if you have raw skin. But i have noticed an improvement in the clarity of my skin. Also, despite being strong, it doesn't dry out my skin; which is a first when it comes so acne cleansers. I think it may be because this lacks a detergent (read: sulfates). It doesn't foam much because of this and i LOVE that. People need to realize that foamy does NOT equal clean. It just strips the skin. After using this to wash my face, my skin is squeaky clean and smooth, it looks like i just exfoliated. The smell is herbal and medicinal; i'm not the biggest fan, but it fades quickly after rinsing and doesn't aggravate my allergies so I tolerate it. The bottom line is: this product works. And without stripping your skin, I'm willing to dish out the cash for it. — 4 years, 11 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
It is a bit strong for my skin!
This product works good at clarifying the skin. However, it doesn't exactly do it in a gentle way. As, it is sorta strong for my skin. — 9 years agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Greene is now claiming his quotes were taken out of context and he is not advocating for a QB change.
Shonn Greene is happy with Mark Sanchez, just not the Jets' losing ways.
A source close to the running back said his quote was misinterpreted by Yahoo! Sports and he was not advocating a quarterback change from Sanchez to Tim Tebow. The source said Greene, who is expected to address the story later Thursday, meant the "change" was going from losing to winning.

A collection of personal thoughts and experiences - mostly centered around running.
Sunday, January 24, 2010
This is an arduous hunt even with a rifle, but to successfully take one with a bow is quite impressive. Of course this is merely child's play to the guy that shot two caribou, a moose, and a sitka blacktail deer with his bow last year alone (I'm sure I've left a few species out as well).
Nice job Mongold!

i see you have found a way to fish out the verminous lurkers on this most excellent blog -- post up their picture and they have no choice but to comment.
trips like this would not be possible without the support of my friends (like Adam) and the efforts of other hunters and conservationists to put sheep back on the Mountain.
if anyone is wondering what the Great Hunt and ultrarunning have in common, i'd urge you to come out on the tundra with me and meet the caribou. when you see them, i promise you will want to join in their dance. you will soon learn that they are fast and tireless dancers -- you must run fast and far to join them.
thank you Casseday for the kind words.Mongold,
I know many folks don't quite understand hunting. When you are raised like you and I were, it is ingrained into you. I too see many similarities between the hunt and ultrarunning; both in a primal notion and the obvious in the simple enjoyment of the outdoors.
Time to sharpen those arrows for a Muskox!

Marital Qualifications
A Commander in his address to the battalion says; we have bought the best uniforms available in the market and hope that you will be victorious in the battlefield . As far as the training in weaponry is concerned, you will learn a lot as the battle progresses and on ground training will be provided as required. Do you think they will be victorious?
A woman says to her friend that she cooked 2 kg tasty biryani for her guests. It was learnt that only half a kilogram of mutton was used and the biryani was prepared with ordinary rice. Do you think that the biryani would be tasty with the said ingredients?
A man approaches a contractor to build a house. The contractor enquires regarding the drawings. The man says not to worry about the drawings and to begin the work. As the work progresses, drawings would be made available. Is it possible to start construction and then prepare the required drawings?
Applications were invited to fill vacancy for a Pilot . A person applies for the post as he has been a frequent flyer, is aware of many airports and is confident of flying a plane with the assistance of the co-pilot. Will he be a suitable pilot?
A person obtains a driving license without ever going to the Driving School or having any driving experience, would he be able to understand the road signs, road ethics etc.?
What would happen if a vehicle is given for repairs to a cleaner at the Workshop instead of a Mechanic?
In the aforesaid examples we wonder whether such important tasks or duties can be performed by unqualified people. However, when it comes to a marriage, the major role of life, that of a "Spouse" is entrusted to a person who has only academic qualification but has very little or no marital qualifications and is not adequately trained to shoulder the various roles and responsibilities of a spouse or parent.
The Chinese athletes break Olympic records. The athletes are well prepared. Have you ever wondered what goes into preparation for the prestigious sporting events as they outclass and strike gold in most of the events.
According to a report, athletes who shine at Olympics would have undergone a terrible time at their camps, as they would be rigorously trained to be tough since their childhood. Training starts as early as 5 years old. Parents take initiatives to send their children in ruthless training camps across the nation where children, battle to complete the demanding routines on bars, rings, and mats.
Those who seek to get married and their parents spend couple of years planning about the clothes, jewelry, food, entertainment and the Wedding day. Isn't it weird that years are spent planning for a single day and not a single day is spent to teach about things that will help and guide them throughout their marital journey.
What are the key areas that you think are necessary for the bride and the bridegroom to be trained so that they enter the marital journey with adequate marital qualifications?
Thanks again for reading the blog, and I'd be happy to hear your comments and suggestions.

I think we need to be good human beings. We need to be loving, caring and have the ability to see things on a larger scale to prepare ourselves for a lifetime relationship.
I agree with Preethi. To add, from childhood we are guided by parents to be good and adjustable with other family members. That takes the main part in success of marriages for both boy and girl.
sindhoooo recently posted…DIY Beaded Yo-yo Patchwork And Ruffled Motif Work -
In india…a marriage is not between two people but two families. No point in denying that for a marital relation to work the family also factors in. I say training should include initiation of the bride into the family as "acceptance" of the girl is so much importsnt for her adjusting into to new family. Elders are always around to counsel and set right problems between couples. I may be a bit old fashioned in thought. I strongly belive that families on both sides have a big hand in a successful marriage. Ofcourse the bride and groom must reciprocate
the feeling. :) -
I think when it comes to training in this sense there should be training for communication. In any relationship communication is vital and if the couple cannot communicate then there is no hurdle that they can cross.

By Emily Wagster Pettus/The Associated Press
JACKSON — Mississippi religious leaders are split on a "personhood" initiative on next Tuesday's ballot.
Initiative 26 would amend the state constitution to declare life begins at fertilization.
The state's largest religious group, the Mississippi Baptist Convention, supports the proposal, as does the Tupelo-based American Family Association.
The bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Mississippi, the Rt. Rev. Duncan Gray III, says he is "gravely concerned about the unintended consequences" of the initiative.
The General Conference of the United Methodist Church has not addressed "personhood" initiatives, and the church's Mississippi bishop, the Rev. Hope Morgan Ward, says she doesn't support the ballot measure.
Bishop Joseph Latino of the Catholic Diocese of Jackson says individual Catholics "may vote as they so choose."
Rabbi Deborah Kassoff of Greenville's Hebrew Union Congregation opposes the initiative.

This programme is only offered in Danish.
Health at Aarhus University provides the framework for the three-year medical science Master's degree programme, which leads to the Master of Science in Medicine degree.
During the Master's degree programme the students expand the knowledge and skills that the Bachelor's degree programme has laid the foundations for. Both the theoretical and practical skills are raised to a higher level with a greater medical perspective.
"A Bachelor consists of lots of basic subjects like histology, physiology and biochemistry. As a graduate student you can't just lean on an inventory list describing in detail what you need to be able to do. Here you have to find the articles with evidence of a special treatment yourself, and you have to read up on the things that are relevant for a given disease. It's here you must utilise the ballast that all the studying for your Bachelor has provided."
(Sara, Medical student)
As a student there are good opportunities for studying abroad, either through exchange agreements with various universities in and outside Europe or through student organisations. The majority of the medical students who travel abroad on an exchange stay do so during the Master's degree programme.
Medicine graduates work in all parts of the healthcare sector as hospital consultants, general practitioners, or as researchers at universities and in the pharmaceutical industry. A key part of being a medical doctor is that you are always continuing your education. Medicine is a field in rapid development, in which new diseases and new forms of treatment are constantly being discovered. Being a doctor means being curious.
"Receiving patients is varied and fun: You are presented with a problem and then you and the others have to act on it. The hardest part is probably the daily ward rounds at the hospital. Here you must be able to assess whether the patient is well enough to be discharged or whether the medication should be changed. This requires knowledge and seeing the big picture. Working as a doctor is in a way detective work where you have to use your knowledge from the education."
(Søren Ramme Nielsen, MD, Amanuensis (Haematology), Aalborg Hospital)
Admission to the Master's degree programme requires that you have completed a Bachelor's degree programme in medicine from a Danish university or that you possess comparable knowledge, expertise and skills acquired from a Bachelor's degree programme completed abroad.
Admission to the Master's Degree Programme in Medicine can take place no later than one year after the completion of the Bachelor's degree programme in medicine.
Please note that time limits apply to the degree programme: A Danish Bachelor's degree programme in medicine must be completed within a maximum of six years, and the total time limit for the entire degree programme is 12 years.
Applicants who do not have a Danish Bachelor's degree in medicine should note that Bachelor's degrees earned abroad are not usually equivalent to the Danish Bachelor's degree and that it is therefore usually not possible to be admitted directly to the Master's degree programme. Instead, it is necessary to apply for transfer to the Bachelor's degree programme. As the degree programmes are not open for transfers from other universities due to a lack of student places at all levels of the Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes, the chance of being admitted to the Master's Degree Programme in Medicine with a non-Danish Bachelor's degree is very small.
At the time of applying for admission to the Master's Degree Programme in Medicine, the applicant must consent to a statement of previous convictions in respect of children being obtained. If you are not a Danish citizen, you must also submit an authorised translation (in Danish or English) of your criminal record from your home country.
Read about statements of previous convictions in respect of children and criminal records.
Students on the Bachelor's degree programme in medicine at Aarhus University have the right to be admitted to the Master's Degree Programme in Medicine on condition that application for admission is made with a view to starting the Master's degree programme immediately after the completion of the Bachelor's degree programme. This legal right of admission is conditional upon the application being received by Aarhus University by the applicable deadline.
In connection with the filling of the places on the Master's degree programme, it should be noted that, as a general rule, a Bachelor's degree from a university qualifies the Bachelor for admission to the Master's degree programme constituting a natural extension of the subject area(s) of the Bachelor's degree programme at the same university immediately after the completion of the Bachelor's degree programme (see section 15 of the Admissions Order (Adgangsbekendtgørelsen)).
Admission to the Master's Degree Programme in Medicine is restricted, and a maximum of 225* students are admitted per semester (winter and summer, respectively). If the number of qualified applicants exceeds the number of places offered, the qualified applicants will be prioritised based on a weighted average mark for the disciplines assessed according to a graded scale which are part of the qualifying course of study and which, for the summer intake, have been passed as of 1 April in the year in which the application for admission is made and, for the winter intake, have been passed as of 1 November in the year in which the application for admission is made.
* This figure is guiding only and subject to change by the university.
Students on the Master's Degree Programme in Medicine must be able to follow teaching in Danish. Applicants from abroad or applicants with an international basis for admission must therefore pass the Danish proficiency test 'Studieprøven i dansk' with a mark of 7 or have documented equivalent Danish skills prior to the commencement of the studies at the latest.
Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes in medicine are resized by the Danish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Higher Education. Once the admissions process has been completed, the number of clinical training placements etc. is resized according to the number of students admitted, and it is therefore not possible to enrol on the degree programme in subsequent semesters. Also, transfer to/re-enrolment on the degree programme is therefore allowed in exceptional cases only. If, for special reasons, places become available on the degree programme in a subsequent semester, this will be announced on this website.
Life as a medical student at the University of Aarhus involves more than just subjects and classes. Student life is both diverse and inspiring, and a focal point is Medicinerhuset (Doctors' House) – the building you share with other students. Because the teaching takes place at different departments, hospitals and laboratories, medical students have access to Medicinerhuset, where you can make use of meeting rooms, computer rooms, reading rooms and different rooms for associations. Much of your study time as a student takes place here – both working and doing all sorts of other things.
Medical studies are characterised by student involvement in an extensive range of activities. This applies to activities directly related to the degree programmes, such as periods of study abroad and research. However, medical students are also interested in pursuits that extend beyond academic activities, including student organisations, social committees and special interest associations. In addition to Medicinerhuset, the Victor Albeck Building is available to you as a student, with facilities that include a library, IT laboratory, meeting rooms and reading rooms.
After a long, hard week studying, you probably look forward to relaxing in good company and pleasant surroundings. You can do this at the Friday bar, arranged by Umbilicus – the medical students' social committee – and held at Medicinerhuset.
Umbilicus also organises parties and celebrations with special themes during the course of the study year, as well as being responsible for the annual regatta on the lake in the University Park, a recurrent event with proud traditions. Other associations at the university are really challenged here by Umbilicus.

This data is derived from AU's 2013/2014 employment survey. This data should not be considered a completely accurate representation of the labour market and job functions for all graduates of the individual degree programmes. It exclusively represent the responses submitted to the survey in the years in question.
When you, as a medical student, have finished your three-year Master's degree, you are not yet fully qualified as a doctor. A period of 12 months of basic clinical training follows, consisting of 2 x 6 months' employment. In practice, most graduates spend 6 months in general practice and 6 months in a hospital specialist area. The aim of the basic clinical programme is to "learn to be a doctor" and acquire some general medical skills not connected with specific specialties. Once you have completed the basic programme, you are entitled to "independent work".
Following your period of basic clinical training, you are employed in a one-year "intro position", after which you begin your specialisation in main education positions, which take 4–5 years depending on your speciality.
In addition, graduates can have the right qualifications and prerequisites for undertaking research, including PhD studies. A PhD degree programme normally has a prescribed duration of three years, and is offered by Health.
After specialising, most doctors are employed at hospitals throughout Denmark or work in general practice. You can also get a job in the pharmaceutical industry, at universities and in public administration, where fields of work extend from teaching and research to administration.

* When Christians Misrepresent God: they become an unnecessary stumbling stone to unbelievers, like KOA radio's Mike Rosen in Denver, who are even less likely to seriously consider Jesus Christ. We must teach other Christians to NOT automatically dish out forgiveness, and also, to STOP claiming that every filthy and perverse rape, etc., is God's will, and was orchestrated by God.
* Jalen from Roxborough: 10-year-old Jalen pointed out that people who say you can't judge, and you have to forgive everyone are contradicting themselves, since in order to forgive someone, you must FIRST judge them! Good point Jalen.
* The Murderer at the Amish School: Charles Roberts undoubtedly grew up with pornography (which poisoned his mind to molest younger girls in his youth), and was taught that everything (including his baby's death, and his vile behavior) was God's will.
* Kisha from Aurora: asked about Romans 8:28, "all things work together for good," which Bob explained does not mean that God works child pornography and adultery for good, but rather, that God works in the believers life to conform us to the image of His Son, Jesus Christ. If you know that God is good and loving, then you will not twist a verse like Rom. 8:28 into meaning that God orchestrates rape for some good purpose.
Today's Resource: You may enjoy listening to Bob's very informative Predestination and Free Will Bible seminar!

Andrew McCutchen hit a two-run homer and drove in three, Charlie Morton had seven strikeouts in seven innings and the Pittsburgh Pirates powered past the Chicago Cubs, 6-2, on Monday night to open a four-game series.
The Pirates have now beaten the Cubs three times this season with Morton (3-7) on the mound, though the right-hander finally earned his first decision in the games.
Working economically most of the night, Morton gave up just six hits and a run without walking a batter and threw 59 of his 82 pitches for strikes.
Ike Davis also homered and Starling Marte had three hits and two RBI for the Pirates.
Edwin Jackson (4-6) opposed Morton for the third time this season and went six innings, allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks with eight strikeouts.
Jared Hughes gave up a leadoff homer to Starlin Castro in the ninth inning, but settled in to get the last three outs for Pittsburgh.
The Pirates took a 1-0 lead after Pedro Alvarez hit a leadoff single in the second inning and scored on Marte's double down the left-field line.
McCutchen went the other way with a fastball for a two-out homer to right field after Travis Snider reached on a ground-rule double in the third inning.
The reigning NL MVP then followed Snider's single in the fifth inning with a drive off the right-field wall for an RBI double and 4-0 Pittsburgh lead.
Morton threw just seven pitches in the first inning and was stingy early on. Only one Cubs runner made it past first before Anthony Rizzo hit a two-out single in the sixth and scored on Castro's double off the wall in right that trimmed Chicago's deficit to 4-1.
In the bottom of the sixth, Marte was tagged out in a rundown between third base and home plate after the Cubs, correctly guessing a squeeze bunt or steal was on the way, pitched out to catch him.
Davis hit a leadoff homer in the eighth and Marte added an RBI double later in the frame to make it 6-1.

Back on my bike
It's the spring equinox and it actually feels like spring for the first time! Today was beautiful, sunny and mild. I wore light shoes for the first time this year - goodbye winter boots!!!!!! And I managed a quick bike ride in the park after work, the first of the year. It felt so good, I can't wait to get back in shape as I was huffing and puffing after only a couple of laps of the park. The clocks go forward on Sunday too, so goodbye dark depressing evenings and hello a very happy, summer-loving me!

Phaëthon (fāˈəthən, –tən) [key] or Phaëton fāˈətən, in Greek mythology, son of Helios and the nymph Clymene. He tried to drive his father's golden chariot, but he could not control its great steeds. As the chariot plunged to earth it burned Mt. Oeta and dried the Libyan Desert. The universe would have been destroyed by fire if Zeus had not killed Phaëthon with a thunderbolt.

Having a beautiful gown is just one of the many things that make a perfect wedding. The 26th annual Northwestern Bridal Show in downtown Eau Claire made it just a little easier for future brides to put the finishing touches on their big day.
"Floral arrangements, getting a cake, planning rehearsal dinner sites, things like that, jewelry," said Marni Jensen of Green Bay.
For other brides-to-be, the show served as a source for specific items on their agenda.
"I'm just here to find a gown for myself and for bridesmaid dresses as well. And maybe some other ideas," said Becky Mittlestadt of Menomonie.
The 73-vendors there this year is the most the bridal show has ever featured. One booth in particular is bringing a growing trend to Eau Claire this May.
"We found that garden weddings become more and more popular. More and more brides want to have outdoor weddings and of course with the lush gardens in the background it makes a perfect place to have their weddings," said Dave Burke, president of Florian Gardens.
The Florian Gardens will be the first garden and wedding reception facility in the Chippewa Valley area, offering three different gardens and three different ballrooms.
Burke spent eight years researching garden wedding facilities in the Twin Cities.
He discovered that they were bringing in people from six states.
"We feel this is a first in Eau Claire. We hope to put up another one eventually down the road here and with this availability as far as gardens being as big as they are, people are going to drive toward it."
New or traditional, the bridal show provided plenty of inspiration for any bride and groom.

Kathryn Tanner, God and Creation in Christian Theology: Tyranny or Empowerment? (Minneapolis, MN: Fortress Press, 2005): 97-8.Good stuff, but definitely dense. I found this volume to be quite tedious, but full of little surprises.
"Christians do say…that God responds to the prayers of the faithful. Are there not, then, exceptional cases where God's agency for created effects is determined by what the creature does? We have to say that a statement like 'God grants petitions' holds, not because God's agency is itself altered by prayer, but because prayer is according to God's will a necessary created condition in particular cases for a created effect or for the alteration of the usual order of created cause and effect. To say that God makes up for the deficiency of created causes to produce the effect for which a person prays is to say, according to our account, that God's created intention includes the effect and the prayer as its condition but not adequate secondary causes.
"Could one say instead that God creatively intends his own agency to be conditioned by prayer? If one could, one would avoid talk of the creature's influencing or altering divine agency in any strong sense. Such statements can only collapse, however, into the ones we have just recommended…[I]t is appropriate to say things like 'God hears our prayers'; God's creative intention may be said to include 'himself' as genuinely affected by creatures. One cannot talk in the same way to suggest the conditioning of God's very agency by creatures; the divine agency forming a creative intention cannot be included in any real sense within it."

Kathryn Tanner on "whether" and "how" God can be said to respond to our prayers
*****For those few of you who care or might minutely be interested, I'm sitting my qualifying exam in philosophy this morning. I know it sounds like lots of fun, but its not really. Take my word on it. Anyway, enjoy this from Tanner while I slave away.*****

Stay For a Nightcap! Dis-Union of the Snake
The Sell-Off Begins:- Conor Jackson got traded by the Diamondbacks on Tuesday morning to the Oakland A's for reliever Sam Demel. The Snakes have indicated that they are willing to trade just about anyone on the roster besides Justin Upton, assuming that they're going to cost anything appreciably more than the league minimum. Jackson certainly fits that profile, having reached his arbitration years. While it's a case of the A's possibly buying low, I'm not sure I quite understand where they're going with this. They already have a logjam in the outfield, have Coco Crisp returning from the DL shortly, and need to find room for Michael Taylor and Chris Carter somewhere down the line. Do they really need to add the right-handed hitting version of Daric Barton to further cloud the picture? What does he bring to the team that they don't already have? They've already committed to him starting in left field. Some combination of Rajai Davis, Coco Crisp, Ryan Sweeney and Jack Cust is going to get squeezed with this, too.
- Looking at this from the Diamondbacks side, hopefully this triggers other trades, not just involving them, but with other teams that are willing to look for future considerations. I get the idea that there might be more sellers out there than last year, though the D-Backs might be the only team to go full-on like the Pirates did last year.
Debut Coming:
- Speaking of the Pirates, Pedro Alvarez will make his debut on Wednesday, after the Pirates announced that they will call him up after Tuesday's loss to the White Sox. He's not getting eased in, either, making his debut against lefty John Danks. This means that Andy LaRoche reverts to a utility role. In the last week the Bucs have opened up the door to Alvarez, Jose Tabata and Brad Lincoln. Contrast what they're doing with what the Indians are doing, for instance, and even with the Bucs' current losing streak, anemic offense and mind-bending playoff-less streak, I'd still much rather be a fan of them than GM Neal Huntington's former team, the Indians.
"Who Own the Reds?" "Ownssssss."
- It's one of the more obscure quotes that I like from a frequently quoted movie, but it also describes the relationship between Rafael Furcal and the Reds, particularly against Tuesday's starting pitcher, Aaron Harang. He came into the game 7-for-15 for his career against Harang. He left 10-for-18 against Harang after a 5-for-6 night. He's now 11-for-21 against the Reds in four games this season.
- Roy Halladay gave up three homers against the Yankees. Interleague play can't end early enough for him.
- Gordon Beckham continued to show small signs of coming out of his season-long slump, going 2-for-4 with another double and three RBI.
- Max Scherzer had nine strikeouts over six innings as he continued to revive his season, though he did give up four runs (three earned) and served up one homer.
- John Lannan was torched for seven runs (six earned) on 10 hits and four walks, striking out only one in 4.1 innings. He has 23 strikeouts all year long, low even for his paltry standards.
- Johan Santana got the win against the Indians, but he struck out only one batter over seven innings while giving up four runs. He has three games this year with only one strikeout, and his average fastball coming into Tuesday's game was only 89.1 mph, nearly 1.5 mph slower than last year, when he was dealing with bone chips in his elbow. I'm not saying that he's done, but that he's in the process of becoming a much different pitcher. He's seen a similar drop in velocity in his slider and changeup.
- Justin Masterson got another loss on Tuesday, giving up seven runs (six earned) - a continuing strain of comments on Twitter from writers covering the game castigated the defense behind him, and not just on the error committed by shortstop Jason Donald. The point here being that Masterson (and other Tribe pitchers) is running unlucky this year, in addition to whatever flaws he might have.
- David Price picked up his 10th win on the season, despite allowing 11 baserunners in five innings. Meanwhile, Kenshin Kawakami dropped to 0-9 on the year, giving up five runs (but two earned) over five innings. Kawakami committed two of the Braves' four errors, but no runs scored off of his errors.
- Alexi Ogando got his first career win when the Rangers rallied for two in the ninth off Marlins closer Leo Nunez. He was used with a one-run deficit in the eighth and gave up a single and a walk but worked out of it.
- Josh Johnson proved once again that the Marlins acted wisely in locking him up to a long-term deal before the season started. He gave up one run over seven innings, lowering his ERA to 1.86 and his WHIP to 1.00.
- Michael Stanton went 0-for-4 with three K's in his home debut.
- I'd be wary of Hiroki Kuroda for his next start. Even though he only pitched five innings and threw 84 pitches overall, he came back after a 2:24 rain delay and threw a really stressful inning, loading the bases before getting out without any runs allowed. Included in that inning was an 11-pitch walk drawn by Orlando Cabrera with two runners on.
- After going through a stretch without many strikeouts, Clay Buchholz found a team that insisted on whiffing in the Diamondbacks, who K'd eight times.
- The Cubs committed four errors, two each by Derrek Lee and Tyler Colvin. The A's somehow managed to score nine runs while having only four RBI, thanks to the errors, a run-scoring double play grounder and a wild pitch.
- The Royals scored 15 runs against the Astros without the benefit of a homer, instead pounding out 20 hits. Felipe Paulino, who had been so good recently, was actually staked to six runs of support and had a 6-3 lead before imploding in the fifth inning, ultimately giving up seven runs with two outs in the fifth and 10 runs (eight earned) overall. He'll go back to being my quiet sleeper, instead of one I'm loudly proclaiming. Sigh... Every Royals starter had a hit, and all but Jason Kendall (1-for-6), Jose Guillen (1-for-4) and Yuniesky Betancourt (1-for-5, but with a bases-loaded double) had multiple hits.
- Jake Arrieta held the Giants to one run over seven innings, giving up three hits and two walks, striking out three.
Save Chances:
- Bobby Jenks, converted (12). Jenks allowed one hit and struck out two in his scoreless inning. Manager Ozzie Guillen has been true to his word, sticking with Jenks as his closer.
- Jose Valverde, converted (14). Two strikeouts, one walk, no runs.
- Francisco Rodriguez, "converted" (14). The save rule sucks, part eleventy billion. K-Rod gave up a two homer to Jake Busey's doppleganger, Shelly Duncan.
- Leo Nunez, blown (3). Nunez was done in by a triple by Matt Treanor, former Marlin, of all people.
- Neftali Feliz, converted (16). The problem with micro-analysis of closers is that it's easy to lose sight of the notion that most players, no matter the role, will on occasion struggle. Feliz bounced back from recent choppy outings to pitch a clean ninth, striking out one.
- Jonathan Papelbon, converted (14). Perfect inning, one strikeout.
- Ryan Franklin, converted (12). Franklin gave up a solo homer to Ryan Langerhans but avoided any other damage while protecting a three-run lead.
- David Hernandez, converted (2). One strikeout, one walk, no runs allowed. Alfredo Simon hasn't pitched yet since coming off the DL, so Hernandez might still get the next save chance, depending upon what week it comes for the O's.
Other Closer Outings:
- Octavio Dotel gave up a run on one hit and a walk while pitching with a one-run deficit.
- Andrew Bailey yet again had a save chance erased when the A's scored a run in the top of the ninth, giving them a four-run lead. He gave up one hit while K'ing two in a scoreless inning.
- John Axford pitched a scoreless ninth with a six-run lead, striking out one and walking one.
Non-Closer Outings:
- Craig Kimbrel threw two shutout innings in mop-up duty, striking out three. The Braves have been breaking him in slowly, and he's had spotty results so far, with a 13:8 K:BB in 7.1 innings. The upside is really high, but don't look for him in high-leverage situations soon.
- Just in case you were holding onto Franklin Morales in the hope that he'd regain some save chances, the Rockies brought him in during the fourth inning and he coughed up three runs, blowing the game wide-open for the Twins.
- Francisco Rodriguez Murillo gave up his first run of the year in a two-inning outing, but also struck out four. In 10.1 innings he's given up four hits and a walk while striking out 15. He's in a marginal role right now, but Jason Bulger is out and both Fernando Rodney and Kevin Jepsen have had their shaky moments.
- With the introduction of new blood to a team, there's of course going to be a loser in the playing time derby. With the Bucs, it's been Lastings Milledge that's increasingly been marginalized. He has started just twice since the Pirates called up Jose Tabata, including only once in Detroit when they had use of the DH. He had just a pinch-hit appearance on Tuesday night. The addition of Pedro Alvarez won't directly affect him, but it certainly won't *help* his chances of playing more often. Call me crazy, but even with Milledge's failures with the Pirates, I'm still stubbornly clinging to the belief that he can play. But time is running short.
- Matt Kemp was dropped down to sixth in the order for Tuesday's game after sitting out on Sunday.
- Magglio Ordonez returned to the lineup on Tuesday after missing six games due to an oblique injury and went 4-for-5 with two doubles. Meanwhile, Ryan Raburn got the start in center ahead of Austin Jackson with the Tigers facing lefty John Lannan.
- Ben Francisco was the DH, with Raul Ibanez starting in left field. I try not to criticize Charlie Manuel, but wouldn't it have been better to flip that arrangement?
- Gerardo Parra started in left field following the Conor Jackson trade, though he was later pinch-hit for by Rusty Ryal. Justin Upton was dropped to seventh in the order.
- Delmon Young went 3-for-4, scoring twice while knocking in one.
- With Erick Aybar out, Maicer Izturis started at shortstop and hit in the leadoff spot.
- Fred Lewis' foot has recovered, but with the Jays on the road in interleague play, he sat in favor of Adam Lind in left field.
- Chad Billingsley was unable to throw his scheduled side session on Tuesday due to a tight groin and was immediately placed on the 15-day DL. With Billingsley out, both John Ely and Carlos Monasterios will stick in the rotation, even with Vicente Padilla returning from the DL this weekend.
- Alex Rodriguez sat out another game on Wednesday with his sore right hip tendon. He'll be a game-time decision on Wednesday.
- Brandon Phillips was back in the lineup following an MRI on his hamstring that revealed a mild strain.
- Austin Jackson was once again scratched with back spasms. Ryan Raburn had a monster game in his place. Jackson has four hits in his last 36 at-bats to boot, riding the regression to the mean train.
- Marco Scutaro was given a cortisone injection to ease pain in his neck on Monday. The soreness in his neck and his elbow kept him out of Tuesday's game.
- Orlando Hudson is still experiencing pain in his wrist when swinging left-handed, so he stayed on the DL instead of coming off as planned on Tuesday.
- Edgar Renteria (groin) will rejoin the Giants on Wednesday, though it's not certain if he'll get activated right away.
- The Angels activated Brandon Wood from the DL despite his struggles during his rehab assignment, thanks to Erick Aybar's uncertain status.
- The Braves called up Chris Resop - he faced the minimum 27 batters. His first appearance with the Braves didn't go so well - five runs allowed in two innings of relief. You may (or may not) remember Resop as the Braves' remaining part left from their Mark Teixeira acquisition and subsequent sell-off. Do you think that the team wishes they could have Superman fly around the earth in reverse real fast to erase that one?
- Jason Bartlett will come off the DL to play on Wednesday. What happens to the playing time split between Sean Rodriguez and Reid Brignac? Even though Rodriguez has been on-fire, Brignac arguably has been better over the season - he has a lower slugging percentage, but he's also gotten on-base at a much higher clip and is hitting for better average.
Stolen Bases:
- Nyjer Morgan 2 (13, 14); Jose Reyes (17); Andrew McCutchen 3 (15, 16, 17); Ben Francisco (2); Elvis Andrus (19); Gaby Sanchez (2); Hanley Ramirez (12); Dan Uggla (2); Stephen Drew (5); Chris Young (11); Brendan Ryan (4); Angel Pagan (13); Carl Crawford (22); Sean Rodriguez (3); Brian McCann (3); Josh Hamilton (4); Drew Stubbs (13); Ichiro Suzuki (19); Jonathan Lucroy (2); Jerry Hairston Jr. (5); Corey Patterson (9).
Caught Stealing:
- Jeff Francoeur (2); Alexis Rios (6); Rafael Furcal (2); Ryan Theriot (3); Brendan Ryan (1); Torii Hunter (6) - this one was at third base, with a left-handed hitter up, nobody out, and the Angels already down six - the perfect storm of a bad attempt; Nick Hundley (5) - he's now 0-for-5.
Home Runs:
- Travis Hafner (8); Mike Morse (2); Ike Davis (8); Curtis Granderson (5); Mark Teixeira (10) - this one was a Yankee Stadium special joke - there might have been one other park in baseball where that would have gone out; Nick Swisher (11); Hanley Ramirez (10); David Ortiz (13); Troy Tulowitzki (9); Colby Rasmus (13); Milton Bradley (6); Ryan Raburn (1); Shelley Duncan (2); Evan Longoria (12); Chipper Jones (4); Manny Ramirez (6); Tyler Colvin (7); Todd Helton (2!); Matt Tolbert (1); Jason Kubel (9); Jason Michaels (3); Albert Pujols (15); Ryan Langerhans (2); Prince Fielder (13); Aaron Cunningham (1) - a grand slam to center in his first start for the Padres; Adam Jones (8); Pablo Sandoval (6).

Album Summary
- Pavlo Beznosiuk (Violin)
Notes & Reviews:
The British composer Charles Avison became acquainted with the music of Scarlatti through a production of his opera in London in 1720. He thought that Scarlatti might justly be ranked among the great masters of the age. Avison's concerto grossi are inspired by Scarlatti and some use material that he borrowed from "the great master." These concerti are rare gems from the 18th century and reinforce the notion that Avison was one of the most important concerto composers during that century.

It is starting to look like HP boss Mark Hurd was fired because the Board were miffed that he settled a sexual-harassment claim before directors could learn more about it. The board is getting into hot water for asking Hurd to leave and is now leaking out why it demanded he was sacked.
Hurd, stepped down on August 6, was scheduled to join a mediation session the previous day to deal with the harassment claim. Instead, Hurd settled the complaint and the meeting never happened.
The board was a bit miffed because it found that he tried to conceal a relationship with his accuser, a former actress named Jodie Fisher who worked for HP as an event organiser. HP's board said he had violated its standards of business conduct by concealing a relationship with a contract employee and falsifying expense reports.
The company investigated Hurd. While the company determined that he didn't harass Fisher, it found that she received numerous inappropriate payments from HP during her two years as a marketing contractor.
The planned August 5 mediation would have let HP lawyers see evidence behind the sexual-harassment claim and allowed them to question Fisher, they said. But Hurd short circuited that by paying her off. Hurd may receive between $40 million to $50 million to leave HP.
