In the opposite dugout sat another outstanding prospect, Jonathan Singleton, a member of the West Team at the Classic that year. The three promising players, all in the high school graduating class of 2009, were about to play their first game in a stadium that is the home to a Major League Baseball club. If their progression continues on the pace it is currently on, the trio could be playing in big-league parks on a regular basis in the not too distant future. Right-hander Wheeler, second baseman Gennett and first baseman Singleton have been named to the roster of the United States team for the 14th annual Sirius XM All-Star Futures Game, scheduled for July 8 at Royals Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., as part of MLB's 2012 All-Star Game festivities. The game features 50 of the top-ranked minor league prospects from all 30 major league organizations - 25 on the U.S. roster and 25 more on the World roster. There are 10 pitchers, two catchers, eight infielders and five outfielders on each squad. Wheeler, Gennett and Singleton are three of 11 prospects selected for this year's Futures Game that are alumni of a PG/Aflac All-American Classic. The other All-American Classic alumni who will represent their MLB organizations at the game and play on the U.S. squad are right-handers Dylan Bundy (2010 Classic), Gerrit Cole (2007), Alex Meyer (2007) and Jameson Taillon (2009); and outfielder Tyler Austin (2009). Catcher Yasmani Grandal (2006 Classic), shortstop Francisco Lindor (2010) and right-hander Jose Fernandez (2010) are on the World team roster. Ten of those 11 players also attended the Perfect Game National Showcase between 2006 and 2010, with Bundy being the exception. Bundy did attend the 2009 PG Junior National Showcase, however. All told, 29 of the 50 players, including 23 of the 25 on the United States roster, participated in Perfect Game events while they were in high school. Wheeler was a first round selection by the San Francisco Giants in the 2009 MLB amateur draft and was acquired by the New York Mets as part of last summer's trade that sent Carlo Beltran from the Mets to the Giants. He is now pitching extremely well for the Mets' Double-A affiliate Binghamton in the Eastern League. Singleton (8th round) and Gennett (16th) were also drafted in 2009 by the Phillies and Brewers, respectively. Singleton is now with the Houston Astros organization and is at Corpus Christi in the Double-A Texas League and Gennett is at Double-A Huntsville in the Southern League. The pitchers Bundy, Cole, Meyer and Taillon are progressing well through their respective farm systems, even though this summer is the first full season of minor league play for Bundy, Cole and Meyer. Bundy, a first round pick of the Baltimore Orioles in 2011, got off to an especially amazing start in the low Class A South Atlantic League (no earned runs with 40 strikeouts in 30 innings) and has since been promoted to high Class A Frederick in the Carolina League. What follows is a list of the prospects that will be playing in the 2012 All-Star Futures Game who are Perfect Game alumni, with their current minor league assignment. UNITED STATES TEAM: Matt Barnes, RHP, High Class A Salem (Red Sox), Carolina League Trevor Bauer, RHP, Triple-A Reno (Diamondbacks), Pacific Coast League Dylan Bundy, RHP, High Class A Frederick (Orioles), Carolina League Gerrit Cole, RHP, High Class A Bradenton (Pirates), Florida State League Danny Hultzen, LHP, Double-A Jackson (Mariners), Southern League Alex Meyer, RHP, Low Class A Hagerstown (Nationals), South Atlantic League Jake Odorizzi, RHP, Triple-A Omaha (Royals), Pacific Coast League Jameson Taillon, RHP, High Class A Bradenton (Pirates), Florida State League Taijuan Walker, RHP, Double-A Jackson (Mariners), Southern League Travis d'Arnaud, C, Triple-A Las Vegas (Blue Jays), Pacific Coast League Tommy Joseph, C, Double-A Richmond (Giants), Eastern League Nolan Arenado, 3B, Double-A Tulsa (Rockies), Texas League Nick Castellanos, 3B, Double-A Erie (Tigers), Eastern League Scooter Gennett, 2B, Double-A Huntsville (Brewers), Southern League Billy Hamilton, SS, High Class A Bakersfield (Reds), California League Manny Machado, SS, Double-A Bowie (Orioles), Eastern League Jonathan Singleton, 1B, Double-A Corpus Christi (Astros), Texas League Kolten Wong, 2B, Double-A Springfield (Cardinals), Texas League Tyler Austin, OF, Low Class A Charleston (Yankees), South Atlantic League Michael Choice, OF, Double-A Midland (Athletics), Texas League Anthony Gose, OF, Triple-A Las Vegas (Blue Jays), Pacific Coast League Wil Myers, OF, Triple-A Omaha (Royals), Pacific Coast League Christian Yelich, OF, High Class A Jupiter, (Marlins), Florida State League WORLD TEAM: Jose Fernandez, RHP, Low Class A Greensboro (Marlins), South Atlantic League Kyle Lotzkar, RHP, Double-A Pensacola (Reds), Southern League Chris Reed, LHP, Double-A Chattanooga (Dodgers), Southern League Julio Rodriguez, RHP, Double-A Reading (Phillies), Eastern League Yasmani Grandal, C, Triple-A Tucson (Padres), Pacific Coast League Francisco Lindor, SS, Low Class A Lake County (Indians), Midwest League

USC senior sendoff: Simmons, Smith, Stepheson
February 25th, 2011, 3:30 pm by Michael Lev, staff writerUSC seniors Marcus Simmons, Donte Smith and Alex Stepheson won't go down in school annals as all-time greats. But they served as the glue that held the program together during rocky times.
For that, Trojans coach Kevin O'Neill is eternally grateful.
"I appreciate every single effort those guys have made, including (walk-on) James Dunleavy," said O'Neill, who will be part of USC's senior sendoff against Arizona State on Saturday at Galen Center.
"These guys have been here for maybe the most difficult time for USC basketball ever in terms of obstacles, sanctions, guys being hurt, guys being ineligible. I can't say enough about what they've done."

The Senate of Imperial Rome |
Richard J. A. Talbert examines the composition, procedure, and functions of the Roman senate during the Principate (30 B.C.-A.D. 238). Although it is of central importance to the period, this great council has not previously received such scholarly treatment. Offering a fresh approach to major ancient authors (Pliny and Tacitus in particular), the book also draws on inscriptions and legal writers never before fully exploited for the study of the senate. "[T]his book is bound to take its place as a standard work of Roman history, and a much-used starting point for further investigations of the nature and evolution of that still mysterious entity, the Roman Empire."--Fergus Millar, Times Literary Supplement Other Princeton books authored or coauthored by Richard J.A.

Hedge Fund Hiring Report: Moore Capital, Flintlock Capital, Millennium Management, Breeden Capital +
June 18th, 2010 | ||
In this week's hedge fund hiring report, we review recent additions made by a number of top hedge fund managers, including Moore Capital Management, Millennium Management and Breeden Capital Management, as well as emerging hedge fund manager Flintlock Capital Asset Management. We also take a look at some industry veterans that joined HSBC Prime Services unit and investment management consultant Perfecta Partners. Louis Bacon's Moore Capital Management has added a number of industry veterans to its investment team, including Matthew Carpenter, Matthew Newton, and Jonathan Cheng. Matthew Carpenter, who officially joined Moore Capital last month as Head of Equity Trading, previously led a proprietary equity trading group at Citigroup that oversaw more than $1 billion in assets. Prior to forming the prop-trading group, Carpenter was a managing director in Citigroup's US equity research division and before that he was partner at Citigroup Private Equity. Matthew Newton also joins Moore Capital from Citigroup where he was a key member of Carpenter's prop-trading team. Jonathan Cheng is now a portfolio manager at Moore Capital where he focuses on consumer and retail sectors. Prior joining the multi-strategy hedge fund manager, he was a portfolio manager at Overland Park Capital and Richard Perry's Perry Capital. Flintlock Capital Asset Management, a commodities focused hedge fund manager that launched its maiden fund earlier this year, has hired Justin Nelson as risk manager and James Dollinger-McElligott as a research analyst. Mr. Nelson joins from Zimmer Lucas, while Dollinger-McElligott joins from Touradji Capital where he was an analyst and junior trader. Flintlock Capital was founded in late 2009 by Steve Matthews who was previously head of commodities research at Tudor Jones' Tudor Investment Corporation. Breeden Capital Management has recently brought aboard Joshua Fenton as a Senior Managing Director. Fenton was previously the Director of Global Equity Research at NY-based global growth equity manager Clay Finlay. Prior that, Fenton spent nearly 10 years at Mario Gabelli's GAMCO Asset Management (Gabelli Asset Management) where he was Director of Research. At Richard C. Breeden's Greenwich-based hedge fund, Fenton is now Director of Research and Trading. Beyond directing the US-based research team, he also serves on the investment committees for Breeden Capital's U.S. and European funds. | ||

Woodward: Why is Obama still misleading everyone on the sequester?
posted at 10:01 am on February 23, 2013 by Ed Morrissey
Success may have a thousand fathers, and failure be an orphan, but don't doubt the parentage of the sequester. After yet another week of White House denials of paternity and a new layer of hysteria over the nature of the cuts involved, Bob Woodward reminds us again who came up with the plan in the first place. As he reported in his book The Price of Politics more than a year ago from on-the-record interviews with the players involved, the sequester was proposed by then-Chief of Staff Jack Lew and personally approved by President Barack Obama, before Harry Reid presented it to Republicans as a take-it-or-leave-it option to end the summer 2011 budget standoff:
My extensive reporting for my book "The Price of Politics" shows that the automatic spending cuts were initiated by the White House and were the brainchild of Lew and White House congressional relations chief Rob Nabors — probably the foremost experts on budget issues in the senior ranks of the federal government.
Obama personally approved of the plan for Lew and Nabors to propose the sequester to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.). They did so at 2:30 p.m. July 27, 2011, according to interviews with two senior White House aides who were directly involved.
Nabors has told others that they checked with the president before going to see Reid. A mandatory sequester was the only action-forcing mechanism they could devise. Nabors has said, "We didn't actually think it would be that hard to convince them" — Reid and the Republicans — to adopt the sequester. "It really was the only thing we had. There was not a lot of other options left on the table."
A majority of Republicans did vote for the Budget Control Act that summer, which included the sequester. Key Republican staffers said they didn't even initially know what a sequester was — because the concept stemmed from the budget wars of the 1980s, when they were not in government.
Why lie about this? Woodward explains that shifting blame is a necessary part of moving the goal posts the actual issue at hand in August 2011. By that point, the real problem for Obama was the debt ceiling, and the sequester put off the question of both spending cuts and tax increases. Republicans had agreed at that point to a deal that included a 1:1 ratio of new revenues (through tax reform rather than rate increases) and spending cuts, but then Obama came back and wanted more revenues, which scotched the deal. With the debt ceiling approaching a crisis point, both goals got pushed aside in exchange for a punt and the sequester as a lever to force a decision down the road:
Lew testified during his confirmation hearing that the Republicans would not go along with new revenue in the portion of the deficit-reduction plan that became the sequester. Reinforcing Lew's point, a senior White House official said Friday, "The sequester was an option we were forced to take because the Republicans would not do tax increases."
In fact, the final deal reached between Vice President Biden and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in 2011 included an agreement that there would be no tax increases in the sequester in exchange for what the president was insisting on: an agreement that the nation's debt ceiling would be increased for 18 months, so Obama would not have to go through another such negotiation in 2012, when he was running for reelection.
So when the president asks that a substitute for the sequester include not just spending cuts but also new revenue, he is moving the goal posts. His call for a balanced approach is reasonable, and he makes a strong case that those in the top income brackets could and should pay more. But that was not the deal he made.
Besides, Republicans already compromised on the revenue side in January. Now it's time to work on the spending cuts, but Obama clearly doesn't want to cut anything from the budget. The nature of the cuts in the sequester and the disconnect from White House hysteria on them is so sharp as to dispel any doubt on that point. Bill Wilson at Forbes calls the sequester cuts "non-existent":
According to Obama, the sequester would represent "a huge blow to middle-class families and our economy as a whole." Obama's White House has also referred to the sequester as "devastating," saying its cuts would "imperil our economy, our national security (and) vital programs that middle class families depend on."
Sounds frightening – but is it true? Of course not. According to The Wall Street Journal "federal domestic discretionary spending soared by 84 percent with some agencies doubling and tripling their budgets" during Barack Obama's first two years in office. In fact the sequester would scale back just one of every six dollars in discretionary spending increases since 2008 – hardly a "huge blow." Also, discretionary spending in 2008 was already tremendously inflated – having increased by more than 60 percent over the previous eight years.
In other words this isn't even really a cut – "devastating" or otherwise – it's a modest growth rate reduction following years of unnecessary, embarrassing and unsustainable excesses.
Wilson notes that Obama doesn't have a monopoly on hypocrisy:
U.S. Speaker John Boehner has repeatedly referenced "the president's sequester" while decrying its "harmful cuts."
What hypocrisy. Obama and Boehner both supported the sequester as an excuse for yet another unsustainable run-up of our nation's credit limit – which exhausted its latest $2.1 trillion increase last December (after less than seventeen months).
"The debt ceiling deal in 2011 was agreed to by Republicans and Democrats, and regardless of who came up with the sequester, they all voted for it," U.S. Rep. Justin Amash (R-Michigan) said recently. "So, you can't vote for something and, with a straight face, go blame the other guy for its existence in law."
As Bob Corker put it last week, the sequester amounts to $1.2 trillion in reductions in the trajectory of spending growth over the next ten years, in which we project to spend $45 trillion. It amounts to a 2.7% decrease in overall spending over the decade, hardly Draconian or savage or whatever hyperventilated appellation one chooses to use. If we can't agree to cut even that much, there is no hope for a broader budget reform that brings us back to balanced budgets in the future, and there aren't enough taxes in the country to make up the difference from the other direction without killing the economy and wiping out revenue altogether.
Update: Via Andrew Malcolm, Obama's still misleading everyone on the sequester:
Hi, everybody. Our top priority as a country right now should be doing everything we can to grow our economy and create good, middle class jobs.
And yet, less than one week from now, Congress is poised to allow a series of arbitrary, automatic budget cuts that will do the exact opposite. They will slow our economy. They will eliminate good jobs. They will leave many families who are already stretched to the limit scrambling to figure out what to do.
But here's the thing: these cuts don't have to happen. Congress can turn them off anytime with just a little compromise. They can pass a balanced plan for deficit reduction. They can cut spending in a smart way, and close wasteful tax loopholes for the well-off and well-connected.
Unfortunately, it appears that Republicans in Congress have decided that instead of compromising — instead of asking anything of the wealthiest Americans — they would rather let these cuts fall squarely on the middle class.
You know what might help? Having the Senate — controlled by Obama's Democrats — pass an alternative. Have they done that yet? When that happens, be sure to let us know, Mr. President.

Awesome park, guys - I loved the waterfalls. Keep the photos coming ...
This is an amazing park!
Trip Start
May 20, 2010
Trip End
Jun 21, 2010
Soon after we were on our way to Yosemite National Park. It took us about an hour and a half to get there but we had a lot of "stops" (stops I requested to take photos). :-) It was good to see there are some trees around here. The scenery was great and we enjoy it. The waterfalls were so powerful that in some cases the mist was so widespread that people trying to see the waterfall would get drenched. Apparently May is the best time to visit as the snow is melting and there is a lot of water. There was still some snow/ice left over on the tips of the mountains. It was a bit cold but not too bad.
We stayed until around 3pm and then left toward Sacramento. There were additional "stops" on the way with final stop being a shopping centre in Sacramento. We wanted to visit an apple store to see if we can get an iPad for Roxy. Man - you should see the Apple stores here... it's like a full computer store with about 15-20 staff and about 30-40 customers (at the time). The sad news was that due to the demand for the iPad - they had nothing in store (not even 1). We'll also try in San Francisco - it's apparently their flagship store.
We arrived to our hotel around 7pm, had dinner and crashed. It was a long day but it was worth every minute of it.
Tomorrow should be much more relaxing.. :-)

The Minneapolis Taxi Owners Coalition has come up with a novel response to increased competition: They're suing, claiming that the very existence of their new rivals is unconstitutional.
Recent reforms to taxi regulations in Minneapolis would allow more cabs in the city for the first time since the 1940s and lift the cap on licenses entirely by 2010. That may be good news if you're looking to start a taxi company, but it's not so great if you were counting on reselling your taxi license for up to $25,000, as Minneapolis hacks often do.
Now the taxi coalition is alleging that the state, by devaluing their licenses, is unconstitutionally taking private property without any compensation. "They had investment expectations of their licenses," says Lawrence Crosby of St. Paul (Minn.)-based Crosby & Associates, the attorney representing the coalition. "To broaden the market so significantly is a huge blow to them."
That may be, but Guy-Uriel Charles, dean of the University of Minnesota Law School, says the lawsuit doesn't have merit and might even be frivolous. "This is seriously pushing the bounds of constitutional law," he says. The taxi drivers' argument, he says, "is essentially that they are entitled to an anticompetitive market." Maybe it's time to try the bus.

Need some help on Flash Catalyst. Anyone any good? Help would be much appreciated, you'll get a thanks and everything :icon_wink:
Haven't much clue, to tell the truth, but I've always enjoyed playing around with Flash, and the wife is currently on a course and about to enter its Flash fortnight. Based on past experiences of the kind, that means a) my learning curve will rise more or less in parallel to hers, as she repeats "I don't understand this" (or that) and I have to explain it to her, and b) she will have access to a professional designer with Flash expertise who is teaching (at which he will be frankly lousy) as a sideline and who will always be delighted to show off his knowledgeability. So ask away. (Love the Quiller-Couch* quote, by the way, and I think you're right - Q.C was referring to how hard and how necessary it is for a writer sometimes to delete the prose of which he is most proud, and it's a sacrifice all communicators, from writers to designers, web programmers,or film makers have to make on occasion.) * I am in fact the proud owner of twin 1920 editions of "The Art of Reading" and "The Art of Writing." This is completely irrelevant and off-topic, but I've been wanting to boast about it for years and never found the opportunity, and, shoot, as they say: if you've got it, flaunt it. My apologies to those of you who have no idea what I am talking about.
Hi John, Yes, knew about Sir Arthur, my brother who has a degree in english literature that told me a few years ago, so makes sense. Anyway - to flash catalyst - basically I want to create something similar to cover flow on ipods. Not so bothered about them turning on a side when they aren't the main image, but just a scroll bar that moves horizontally scrolling through my work. Pretty certain this can be done in flash catalyst or possibly flash, just can't get to grips with it that well. Thanks Curtis :icon_smile:
i dont think you can do this in catalyst, it was designed merely to help developers designing interfaces. It is very useful for various menus and buttons, but what you are trying to do is to create a sliding gallery. I can do this for you. Do you want it horizontally sliding or a carousel type? Get back to me with more info if you want it done cheers
Curtis, Well, I've downloaded and installed the Flash Catalyst beta, and it does look very promising, but haven't really had time to get fully to grips with it yet. One of the things Adobe specifically states the app is for is to "Create interactive portfolios," (as well as "product guides, microsites, site navigation, interfaces" and so forth) so it does look as if it should be able to do something like what you are looking for, but I haven't really seen anything quite like Cover Flow yet. The Flash Catalyst "Getting Started" tutorial is at Getting started with Adobe Flash Catalyst beta 2 | Adobe Developer Connection - I have read (but not worked) through it, and I get the feeling that by exploring the transitions, it may well be possible, but I don't think you will be able to import your images automatically, you'll have to add them to the project by hand, and all in all it might be easier for you just to stick with Flash for the time being. I'm going to have to dedicate some time to earning a living in the next couple of days, I'm afraid, you know what it's like: meanwhile, I'll get my wife to ask her teachers what they think, and I'll let you know if or when I make any more progress.

At the end of 1999, Roxanne Kopecky had just finished living her first year in a central Phoenix neighborhood she loved, but in a house she didn't really like.
"I loved the trees, the green, the grass . . . and I thought, 'Wow, this house has great potential.' "
That potential is what prompted her to buy the brick ranch house, hidden beneath thick vines, in 1998. She lived in it for a year, plotting how the home - built in the 1940s and added to in the early '70s - could be brought into the 21st century.
"It made me really understand what I didn't want," she said. "I wasn't sure about what I did want . . . but I was sure what I didn't want."
Things like the narrow galley kitchen with the orange counters had to go. And the floral wallpaper that "looked like Laura Ashley threw up in here." And ceilings that were too low and made the house feel dark.
Kopecky hired designer Brenda Agee and remodeling contractor Don Jensen and decided to literally raise the roof.
That was four years ago. After a few breaks in the action to catch her breath, Kopecky finally felt this month like the house was finished. Through it all, "you get to know your neighbors really well, because you spend a lot of time asking, 'Can the construction guys start at 6:30 tomorrow, because it's really hot?' " Kopecky said.
Added was a roof that gave the home a higher, more elegant front and rear elevation. The white wood combined with the red brick - sitting on a grassy acre with mature trees - make the home look like it's anywhere but Phoenix.
She grew up in a Connecticut house that didn't look much different from the one that was emerging now. And that's not an easy find in the Valley.
As the home's new design began to evolve, "I discovered I kind of like the Eastern feel," she said.
The home is a split design, with two bedrooms and a bath on one side, the master bedroom and its bath on the other. In between, the living and dining rooms face the street, while the kitchen and family room face the back yard. This central portion, where the kitchen meets the family room, took significant work.
"When I met Brenda I specifically told her the trick I needed from her was to make this kitchen look like a big kitchen, even though it will never be that," Kopecky said.
First step: remove an interior wall with a pass-through window that blocked the kitchen from the family room. With that gone, the space flowed together, creating room for a kitchen island connecting the two rooms.
Next, the ceiling was raised in the kitchen, to 15 from 8 feet, and a skylight was added. Below, all cabinets and counters were ripped out, and the room was gutted.
"So, all of a sudden, we opened it, and, wow, it doesn't look like a galley anymore," Agee said.
Along with an island with storage and with seating for three, the kitchen was reborn with new cabinets and granite counters, new appliances and a built-in refrigerator/freezer to maximize space.
Even the dishwashers were tailored to fit the lifestyle of Kopecky, who's single. Instead of one unit, two smaller drawer-style machines were installed one above the other, allowing smaller loads to be washed more frequently.
Agee used smoke-colored glass mirrors along each wall in the backsplash area, fooling the eye into believing the new space was much wider than the old.
Four-inch-plank wood floors were installed in the kitchen and family room, and the wallpaper was removed. A faux-finisher created an updated look for the walls.
Living through any remodel, especially a major one involving a roof and kitchen, can be hellacious. But Kopecky had the advantage of having a guesthouse in the back yard.
French doors from the master bedroom to the back yard allowed her to live in the bedroom and guesthouse during a four-month period.
"(The guesthouse) was my kitchen and my dining area, and my bedroom was kind of sealed off from the rest of the house," she said.
Once the kitchen and family-room phase of construction was done, she moved into the main home's guest bedroom while walls came down and space was reconfigured to create a larger master bath and bedroom.
Kopecky estimates the construction costs for the remodel were high, about $275,000. That's one reason that older homes in desirable areas often are razed. Tearing down and rebuilding is often more cost-effective than remodeling.
However, Agee said the project became a "work of love" for her and Kopecky. And they became friends during the long process.
Agee's advice for others hoping to tackle a major face-lift on an older house?
"I think you need somebody who knows what they're doing," Agee said. "Construction, architect and a great designer. You really do."

Consumer goods analyst Austin Smith discusses whether traditional grocery retailers can survive. Traditional retailers like Safeway, Kroger, and SUPERVALU have been undercut by broad-line grocery stores like Wal-Mart. These huge retailers, along with pharmacies like Walgreen or Rite Aid, sell groceries at cost to drive traffic into the stores. Traditional groceries look like they are in for a rough ride, but retailers with a competitive advantage like Whole Foods and Costco still look promising.
To learn about two retailers with especially good prospects, we invite you to take a look at The Motley Fool's special free report: The Death of Wal-Mart: The Real Cash Kings Changing the Face of Retail. In it, you'll see how these two cash kings are able to consistently outperform and how they're planning to ride the waves of retail's changing tide. You can access it by clicking here.

Osteoporosis or "thinning of the bones" affects in 1 in 4 Canadian women and 1 in 8 Canadian men. Moreover, while the rates of osteoporosis among Canadians are stabilizing, worldwide the number of people afflicted with osteoporosis continues to rise. The most serious complication of osteoporosis is a broken bone or fracture. Fractures due to osteoporosis can result in long hospital stays, dependence on others, and premature death. While there are several medications that prevent osteoporosis they all have side effects. For example, postmenopausal women who take hormone replacement therapy (HRT) are at increased risk of breast cancer and heart disease. In addition, drugs to prevent osteoporosis are expensive and not available worldwide. Therefore, it is essential that researchers continue to identify and test new medications for the prevention of osteoporosis.
The purpose of the research is to determine if nitrates, a group of drugs that are widely available, inexpensive, and commonly used to treat chest pain or angina, can prevent osteoporosis in women. If the researchers find that nitrates prevent osteoporosis, a widely available, inexpensive treatment for osteoporosis prevention that does not have any long term side effects would have been identified. This will improve the health of patients with osteoporosis worldwide.
This proposal consists of two studies. The objective of the first study is to determine which of isosorbide mononitrate (ISMO) at 20 mg/day or nitroglycerin ointment (NTG) at 15 mg/day results in fewer headaches. The nitrate that is best tolerated will be used in a second study with one main objective: To determine if postmenopausal women with a T-score at the lumbar spine (L1 to L4) between 0 and -2.0 randomized to two years of treatment with intermittent nitrates have a greater increase in spine BMD as compared to women randomized to placebo.
I hypothesize that:
1. Women will report fewer headaches when they are randomized to intermittent NTG ointment at 15 mg/day compared to intermittent oral ISMO at 20 mg/day.
2. After two years, women randomized to intermittent nitrates will have a greater percent increase in lumbar spine BMD compared with women randomized to placebo.
To test these hypotheses I will execute 2 trials both of which include postmenopausal women, aged 50 and older, with BMD T scores at the lumbar spine between 0 and -2.0. I will exclude subjects with prior osteoporotic fractures or OP by BMD testing, subjects with current metabolic bone or cardiovascular disease, subjects taking treatments for OP, subjects with migraine headaches, and subjects with known hypersensitivity to nitrates. I will use computer generated randomization to allocate subjects to treatment assignments. To avoid bias the studies will be double-blind. The first study, which uses a crossover design, will recruit 22 subjects who will be randomly assigned to each of NTG ointment and ISMO for one week. In between treatments there will be a two week wash out period. Subjects will rate headaches on a daily basis using a visual analog scale and for each subject I will calculate the mean headache score over the 7 day treatment period for both treatments. I will then calculate the mean headache score (considering all subjects) for NTG and the mean headache score for ISMO. I will compare the mean headache scores for both treatments and the nitrate preparation that is best tolerated (lowest mean score) will be used in a second placebo controlled study (the main study) whose primary objective is to assess the effects of intermittent nitrates on spine BMD (L1 to L4) in 280 postmenopausal women. To limit differential drop out due to headaches among subjects randomized to nitrates, the main trial will follow a run-in phase during which all subjects will receive nitrates for one week. Only those subjects who do not have headaches resulting in discontinuation of the study medication during the nitrate run-in phase will enter the main study.

Consumers Digest magazine has designated three Clopay garage door lines as "Best Buy" selections in the residential garage door category.
Clopay's Reserve® Collection Limited Edition Series wood carriage house doors, Classic Wood Collection, and Value Series steel garage doors were selected based on construction, materials, appearance, warranty and cost.
The written evaluation appears in the August 2012 issue of Consumers Digest. Clopay is the only garage door brand to be recognized for multiple product lines.
"Since 1964, Clopay has been manufacturing garage doors in a variety of materials that provide beauty, strength, low-maintenance and energy-efficient features to help increase the curb appeal and value of the home," says Pat Lohse vice president of residential marketing for Clopay Building Products, North America's largest manufacturer of residential and commercial garage doors. "The 'Best Buy' designation is yet another third-party seal-of-approval that homeowners can rely on when purchasing a new garage door."
In addition to the "Best Buy" recognition, Clopay has held the Good Housekeeping Seal since 1996, and has been voted No. 1 in the residential garage door category three years in a row by dealers in Professional Door Dealer magazine's annual "Best of Business" poll.
The three collections of Clopay garage doors that are now considered a Consumers Digest "Best Buy" include:

International Box Office: Rises Remains Top Draw
August 8th, 2012
The Dark Knight Rises held onto first place with $66.7 million on 15,400 screens in 58 markets lifting its totals to $378.1 million internationally and $732.0 million worldwide. Since last week, it cracked $300 million internationally and became just the 49th film to reach $700 million worldwide. The film had no major market openings this past weekend, but still finished in first place in Mexico with $5.38 million on 2,370 screens and in Brazil with $4.76 million on 904 screens. In those two markets, it has two-week totals of $21.28 million and $15.28 million respectively. It was forced into second place in the U.K., but earned $6.67 million on 567 screens over the weekend for a total of $63.53 million after two. The film still has a few markets left to open in, including Italy, so it isn't quite done yet.
Ice Age: Continental Drift remained in second place with $33.31 million on 13,569 screens in 62 markets for totals of $587.57 million internationally and $719.64 million worldwide. It became the 50th film to reach $700 million at the global box office. China pulled in an estimated $10 million on 3,500 screens over the weekend for a two-week total of $40.6 million.
Ted shot into third place with $32.8 million on 2,413 screens in 20 markets for a still early total of $78.03 million. Of its weekend haul, $14.52 million was earned on 509 screens in the U.K., which is like a $75 million opening here. It also opened in first place in Germany with $6.76 million on 449 screens over the weekend for a total opening of $7.25 million, and in Russia with $5.73 million on 630. The film has yet to open in most major markets, and since it made a profit based on its domestic numbers alone, everything it is making now is pure gravy.
Brave rose a spot to fourth place with $19.1 million on 5,378 screens in 30 markets for a total of $123.7 million internationally and $347.1 million worldwide. The film opened in first place in France with $5.72 million on 690 screens, but had to settle for third place in Germany with $3.26 million on 579. The film opened in the U.K., sort of. It is currently only playing in Scotland and pulled in $1.28 million on 143 screens.
Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted climbed a spot to fifth with $17.44 million on 3,067 screens in 42 markets for totals of $314.00 million internationally and $524.85 million worldwide. It only managed fifth place in Japan with $2.28 million on 540 screens, but earned $4.89 million including midweek numbers.
The Thieves grew by 2% earning $13.26 million on 1,092 screens over the weekend of a total of $44.10 million after two. It remained in first place in South Korea, but fell to sixth place internationally.
Step Up Revolution rose to seventh place with $8.65 million on 1,704 screens in 18 markets for an early total of $17.94 million. The film opened in third place in Australia with $1.93 million on 370 screens. This is $1 million less than Step Up 3D opened with in that market in 2010.
The Mechanic returned to the international chart in eighth place with $7.86 million in 2 markets for a total of $41.09 million. This is close to what the film cost to make, but without any more markets left to open in, it is not enough to make a profit.
The Amazing Spider-Man fell to ninth place with $6.60 million on 6,070 screens in 78 markets for totals of $427.69 million internationally and $678.43 million worldwide.
Total Recall debuted in tenth place with $6.17 million on 1,217 screens in 12 markets. It had no major market openings this week, but did top the chart in Taiwan with $1.3 million on 150 screens and in Malaysia with $944,000 on 141.

NEW YORK (AP) — PepsiCo is pulling an online ad for Mountain Dew that was criticized for portraying racial stereotypes and making light of violence toward women.
In the 60-second spot developed by African-American rapper Tyler, The Creator, a battered white woman on crutches is urged by an officer to identify a suspect out of a lineup of black men played by members of a music group. A goat is included in the lineup.
The goat makes threatening remarks to the woman such as "Ya better not snitch on a player" and "Keep ya mouth shut." She eventually screams and runs away.
PepsiCo Inc. apologized in a statement and said it understood how the ad could be offensive. The company says the video has been removed from all Mountain Dew channels.

An Idea for Hunting Down Rogue WAPs
Main | Elsewhere | The Week in CrossNodes | The Week in Network News |
Last Friday we noted an AP report about the problems with security on wireless networks. The report concentrated on the booming consumer/home user demand for Wi-Fi networking, and provoked a strong sense of deja vu: It seems home users are repeating many of the mistakes businesses were making just a few years ago, leaving access points open to the world and contenting themselves with "just getting ping" before calling it a day.
The problems with that for enterprise networkers, as we noted last week, are these: Consumer-grade Wi-Fi hardware makes security tough, but it's becoming so cheap and simple to drop a wireless access point onto a network that formerly secure networks face a threat from within the perimeter now. It's a tough problem to solve. So we were pleased to get a letter this week describing how network engineers at Intel dealt with the problem. It comes from Michael Burton, an Intel employee in its IT Automated Network Management Services.
Michael writes:
Just read your wireless security news break...
Wireless hunting solutions geared to capture rogue APs are generally difficult to deploy, requiring, for example, an actual person to walk around with a wireless Palm looking for rogue ESSIDs and locating by signal strength. And imagine in a sea of cubes how easy it would be to hide.
To be useful, each wireless AP still needs to plug into a wired layer 2 device. Some smart IT Engineers devised an old school solution to this next-generation problem - MAC address tracking.
Using a combination of Ciscoworks and VitalNet, we are able to associate every MAC address in our network to a specific switched port. Each wireless AP company uses a subset of their Vendor allocated space (Or the Organizationally Unique Identifier OUI). The engineers wrote some Perl programs that maintain an "unauthorized," "cleared," and "unknown" database. The unknown database has the OUIs of invalid vendors. The cleared database has a list of the non-standard but registered full MAC addresses, and the unknown database is a final catchall.
Once a night, the program (called Rogueseeker) looks at the full table, ignores cleared entries, and reports port location for unauthorized entries. If something is not found, it is stored in the unauthorized database and spat out in a weekly report.
It's a bit of a kludge solution, but it gets the job done automated - and uses a hell of a lot fewer resources than the "IT Police" using wireless handhelds.
The script itself is Intel property, so we can't share it with our readers, but the idea behind it isn't beyond the capabilities of reasonably experienced Perl programmer. Perhaps a reader can take the idea and run with it.
» Speaking of WiFi security, Linksys has announced a new product: Linksys Wireless Guard, Wi-Fi Planet reports it "provides a hosted RADIUS server so end users can utilize RADIUS-based (define) 802.1X authentication to get secure access to their network -- no extra RADIUS server is needed on site."
» If you're "the network dude" (or dudette) for a small business, EmergeCore's IT-500 might look interesting: It handles filesharing, CRM, firewalling, VPN, anti-spam/virus, wireless LAN, Web serving, and several other functions in a single box for $2,300.
The reviewer says "the IT-500 packs a lot of value for the price, and offers small business owners networking capabilities that are generally reserved for big companies with big budgets not to mention a big IT department. If the lack of IT support has kept you from expanding your network capabilities, the IT-500 might just be what you're looking for."
» Tuesday: Network News Break: No WLAN On Your Nets? Wi-Fi Security's Still a Concern
Even if you don't even have a WLAN operating on your nets, the combination of cheap, consumer-friendly Wi-Fi gear and lousy security interfaces can cause problems. Also: AT&T says it can see DDoS attacks from a mile off, Intel releases Centrino drivers for Linux, and anti-virus vendors report there are still viruses in the world.
» Wednesday: Security Drives Cisco's Self-Defending Bottom Line
The razor business is about razor blades, and the router business, apparently, is now about services: Cisco's unveiled a new price structure for the previously no-cost Firewall Services Module. Also: A popular piece of wireless gear from Linksys is sporting a moderately severe security hole, Google's updating its search appliance, and Nortel says VoIP and 3G are driving sales higher than expected.
» Thursday: WiMax: How Far Ahead of the Curve is Too Far?
Alvarion's pushing a WiMax implementation out the door to a lot of fanfare, but the standard's not soup, and that raises some questions. Also: There's a keylogging worm to look out for, is Microsoft's patch policy to blame? And Sun pushes ahead on identity management, despite gloomy early predictions.

Risk Factors for Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injury
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is located inside the knee joint and provides stability to the knee. ACL injuries occur more frequently in women than men; the reason for this is unknown. The purpose of this study is to determine gender-specific anatomical, hormonal, and demographic risk factors for ACL injury. This observational cohort study will only enroll incoming cadets at the U.S. Naval, Air Force, or Military Academies.
Study hypothesis: Human movement factors, including key kinetics and kinematics of the knee during a jump-landing task, are associated with the rate of ACL injury.

Study Type: | Observational |
Study Design: | Observational Model: Cohort Time Perspective: Prospective |
Official Title: | Epidemiology of Jump-Landing Movements and ACL Injury |
Estimated Enrollment: | 4800 |
Study Start Date: | June 2005 |
Study Completion Date: | March 2011 |
Primary Completion Date: | March 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Groups/Cohorts |
Incoming cadets at the U.S. Naval, Air Force, or Military Academies
Detailed Description:
The ACL stabilizes the knee joint by preventing the shinbone (tibia) from sliding forward beneath the thighbone (femur). A hard twist or excessive pressure on the ACL can tear or rupture the ligament, resulting in high levels of short-term disability and extensive rehabilitation. Previous data indicate that women who participate in sports or who are otherwise physically active have higher rates of ACL injury than men; the reason for this is unknown. There are four groups of potential risk factors for ACL injury: environmental, anatomical, hormonal, and biomechanical or neuromuscular. In particular, poor technique when landing from a jump (also known as jump-landing) is proposed as a specific neuromuscular risk factor of interest in this study. This study will determine gender-specific anatomical, hormonal, and demographic risk factors for ACL injury, as well as quantify gender-specific differences in jump-landing technique and other neuromuscular risk factors.
This observational cohort study will enroll 4,800 cadets at the three large U.S. military academies; approximately 50% of those enrolled will be women. Only incoming cadets at the U.S. Naval, Air Force, or Military Academies will be able to participate. Each study participant will undergo a baseline assessment that will include measurement of neuromuscular risk factors using motion analysis, strength testing, and standardized assessment of poor jump-landing technique using the Landing Error Score System (LESS). All participants will be followed for up to 4 years. ACL injuries will be prospectively identified; an injury questionnaire is administered to participants who sustain an ACL injury while they are cadets. Otherwise, there is no further contact.

Vampire Prosecutor will get a third season
Popular drama Vampire Prosecutor 2 has ended with its final episode on Sunday, however the cliff-hanger ending made viewers wonder if there will be a third season for the franchise.
During the final episode, many loose ends were tied up, still the real identity of the bad blood was in secret. Many viewers believed that this premise would be explained in future installment.
Lee Seung Hoon stated prior to the final broadcast, "There is a massive reversal hidden in the plot. A shocking story will be revealed, which will lead to new questions. We thank all of the viewers who gave love to our drama. Since many staff members and actors gave their all to this project, we hope you will watch it with interest."

Scandal recap: Happily ever after? Courtney Holmes 2:30 PM, May 3, 2013 3:37 PM, May 3, 2013 entertainment | movies Share Article ABC Copyright 2012 Scripps Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed. Show Caption Hide Caption Previous Next In what could have easily been the season finale, Scandal has rocked my world once again. This episode entitled, "A Woman Scorned" is one of those you have to watch a second time just to make sure you caught everything. Olivia spends a good portion of her time trying to shake Creepy Jake. Fitz has officially ordered him to not only stalk her, but post up outside of her home and office. Liv is beyond annoyed but Fitz believes that she is still in danger and will not back down. Associates Abby, Harrison and Quinn are back at the office trying figure out who the guy in the baseball cap is. They are pouring over surveillance footage when Huck reemerges from the mental episode that incapacitated him last week and immediately identifies the mystery man. It's Charlie the hitman. The same Charlie that Cyrus paid to kill the president's former fling, Amanda Tanner last season and broke into Olivia's apartment last week …and has access to high level intelligence. The realization of Charlie's involvement with Cyrus has just about everyone convinced that he is the mole that has been selling top secret government info to the highest bidder. Everyone except Olivia that is. All signs point to Mellie making good on her threat of exposing the President's ongoing affair with Olivia in thirty-six hours if he does not renew his commitment to their marriage. Unfortunately for her, Fitz couldn't care less. He says as much, first to Cyrus- who I feared would have a heart attack by the end of the night; then to Liv, when he punks her into meeting him at the White House. But it is Olivia who has the last word in this first of several game changing conversations in this episode. After storming into the Oval Office she rips Fitz a new one. Basically telling him if he wants to be with her, this time he's going to have to work for it. Cyrus is appointed lead negotiator in the effort to coax Mellie from the brink of political nuclear war. And if Mellie were a lesser woman, she would have succumbed. Cyrus tried everything from insults to offering governorships, to offering to getting rid of Olivia-but Mellie couldn't be bought. At least not yet. What's interesting is not that Mellie went on national television to out Fitz for being unfaithful; it's that she didn't name Olivia as his mistress. While Mellie is whining to America about her marital woes, Fitz is busy creating even more. With twenty minutes left until Mellie's big reveal, Fitz invites himself to have a viewing party at Olivia's place. In another pivotal conversation, the President says he wants to be with Liv as the clock runs out on his miserable marriage. He proceeds to pop a squat on her couch and lets the countdown begin. By the time Mellie hits the airwaves, Olitz has reignited—first on the couch, then up against a wall and again in the shower. So there you have it. We are to believe Fitz has given up everything for Olivia and they'll live happily ever after. Ha. Even if there weren't two more episodes this season I wouldn't buy into that. Mellie's got one more trick up her sleeve; and my guess is that it has to do with threatening to ruin Olivia. This will be the longest six days ever. See you next week! Notes and Observations: -Come on. Cyrus was never going to be the mole. I'm pretty sure I know who Albatross is…but am curious to know what everyone else thinks. Let me know! -A couple season one throwbacks in this episode with the dearly departed Amanda Tanner shout out and that scene in the Oval with Liv and Fitz going to the window to avoid the surveillance cameras. -Jake might be creepy but he's not dumb. -The president's secretary has a hard way to go. If she's not being manipulated by Mellie she's being coerced by Cyrus. -Look at Quinn schooling David on how Gladiators roll! Share Article A Share A A A Share Article

rod/reel advice for a newb
i looking for advice on buying a rod/reel for freshwater fishing in new england.
size? weight? things to look for? since i am new to this i don't want to spend a ton of money but i still don't want a piece of junk that will just discourage me. |
What species will you be targeting and what kind of budget did you have in mind?
trout and i would hope to be able to stay under $300.00 for the whole kit and kaboodle.
Well my suggestion would be a 9 foot 5 weight as an all round rod, something you could fish dryfly or hammer out a big weighted Zonker if need be. I would spend the bulk of the money on a good rod and line, the reel can be a cheap one with a clicker drag. You may want to try the classified ads on some of the forums or an online auction house like Ebay(I bought an Orvis trident TLS for $100 last week). You may want to check out your local flyshops as some take trades or sell on consignment.
For New England I don't really think that you will ever be outgunned with a nice medium action 4wt. Look into the the company Temple Fork Outfitters, they make some very nice rods for the money 150 dollars or so. As far as reel a cortland or something that will hold line is fine. Your money is best spent on getting a casting lesson from a FFF certified instructor.
Based upon a near lifetime of fly fishing (I'm 53 abd started fly fishing at age 5), which included teaching a few hundred folks how to fly fish, I'd recommend an
8'6" - 9' 5 or 6 wt rod. If you are only going to fish for trout, the 5 wt would get the nod, if you are also going to fish for smallmouth and largemouth bass, the 6 wt is a better choice because it cast bass flies better. You should have no problem getting a good outfit (rod, reel, line, and backing) for $300.00 that will serve your needs for many years. Rod Companies like TFO, ECHO, G. Loomis, St, Croix, Lamiglass, Redington, and Scott all produce good casting rods for under $150.00, and some of them such as G. Loomis, Redington, and St. Croix have good casting, complete (rod, reel, backing, and line) outfits available for about $200.00. The best thing you could do is go to the closest fly fishing shop (or fly fishing specialty store if you will), tell them what you are going to use it for and how much you can spend, and they will provide you with an outfit that will fit your needs and budget. The local store will also more than likely give you some casting instruction and in general be a very good source of information on casting, knots, flies, etc.. The second best thing you could do is contact one of this sites sponsors, tell them what you are going to use the outfit for, the amount you have to spend, and then they will be able to provide you with a good choice of equipment too. The reason this is the second best choice is unless the sponsor is close to you, you won't have the personalized casting and other help you may need. |
(link removed - "this is no fun" please respect the membership agreement, thanks FORUM administration)
Does this look like a decent setup to get my feet wet? (pun intended) I've already done the casting instruction thing. I had a guide, I'm "ok" at casting. Confidant enough to get out there and give it whirl. Thanks for all your advice. |
St Croix makes some excellent rods in all price ranges, including the low end. An 8'6 4 wt would be my recommendation for New England trout fishing. A 9 ft rod is too long for a lot of the more treed in streams. I use a 7'6 rod and I find that to be a good length, and I can't imagine using a 9 ft rod in a lot of places.
If you want a rod that's more versatile and that you can use for largemouth bass too, then go with a 5 wt. |
won't happen again. |
If I could make a suggestion -
the images on those sites are easily included into messages. Just put the mouse over the image, right mouse to list "properties" and copy the address. Then click on the http://www.flyfishingforum.com/flyta...nsertimage.gif icon and paste the address into it to make it part of your post. In fact that's how I just put the little icon in this thread! That way we can look at the outfit and provide some feedback if you list a few details. |
4/5wt, 8ft-6in, 4pc NXT Fly Rod, Fly Reel, Backing, Fly Line, Rod Case Outfit by TFO under $200.00 for the whole kit'n kaboodle. |
i guess i'm the odd one here, but i'd recommend a 3 wt. most of the fish are small enough and the rod can handle the occaisional larger fish. i second the motion on the st croix. consider a heritage. the're less than$100 for either a 3,4, or 5 wt,.and as good as anything at twice the price. they're located in springfield, ma.
Fishing with a lighter rod is alot of fun but as you move into the warmer summer months and the water warms up you want to land these fish as fast as possible so they do not get overly stressed. My .02 cents
