Phillies Acquire Jimmy Paredes
UPDATE 3:27 PM ET: As expected, the Phillies have officially added Paredes to the 25-man roster and designated Emmanuel Burriss for assignment.
It's not much, but it's something. After reportedly placing a waiver claim on Jimmy Paredes when the Orioles designated him for assignment, and then losing said claim to the Toronto Blue Jays, the Phillies had a second crack at acquiring their guy. The Blue Jays DFA'd Paredes on Monday and today the Phillies announced they have successfully acquired him this time.
#Phillies have acquired infielder/outfielder Jimmy Paredes from the Toronto Blue Jays for cash considerations.

To make room on the 40-man roster, Charlie Morton was transferred to the 60-day disabled list.

Although there hasn't been a corresponding move announced to put Paredes on the 25-man roster, there's a reasonable chance that this will result in the end of Emmanuel Burriss' tenure on the big league roster. Burriss made the Opening Day roster in large part due to his ability to handle both infield and outfield positions. Through 36 plate appearances he's posted a .407 OPS which is worse than the OPS of three different members of the Phillies starting rotation — Jerad Eickhoff (20 PA, .450 OPS), Vince Velasquez (20 PA, .627 OPS), Jeremy Hellickson (20 PA, .466 OPS). We're well past the point where Burriss has begun to overstay his welcome on the 25-man roster.
New Phillie Jimmy Paredes is a 27-year-old switch-hitter who has played second base, third base, and both corner outfield positions throughout his major league career. Prior to being picked up by Toronto, he hit .309/.377/.471 across three minor league levels for the Orioles this season. In extremely limited play with Toronto (just 17 plate appearances) he posted a .267/.353/.533 slashline which is well above his career major league line of .257/.294/.373. Since 2014, however, he's put up league average numbers (99 OPS+) at the plate through 466 plate appearances spanning time with Kansas City, Baltimore, and Toronto.
Although he's a switch-hitter, he does have a pronounced platoon split over his career with a .705 OPS against righties and a .511 OPS against lefties. As a result, one possible way the team could use him is as an occasional starter or pinch-hit replacement for Peter Bourjos and/or Tyler Goeddel when a right-hander is on the mound.
It also may be worth noting that Phillies Assistant GM Ned Rice has personal history with Paredes. He was part of the Orioles front office team which acquired Paredes in 2014.
When an offense is as horrendous as the Phillies' current offense, it's hard to make moves that do anything but improve the situation. Paredes is not a long term fix, but if he does indeed represent a replacement for Burriss, he could potentially be a temporary fix to stop some of the bleeding and provide more legitimate options for manager Pete Mackanin to use both when forming lineups before a game and finding pinch-hitters on his bench during the game.

"Move out of the way!" Usami shouted to the ragged-looking doll following him wherever he went.
He had been busy running after a deadline and this doll kept on following him like he was its mother.
Being a nuissance specially on the hallways got into the silverhaired man's nerves and before he knew it, he had pushed the doll by the head and off it went toppling down on the floor. With the doll's green eyes shining from the bulb above its head, it tried to get up on its own but couldn't.
"Thank you...thank you..." the doll said.
Yes, the doll was defective. Of all the dolls created by Marukawa Robotics Company, Series 01 M15Ak1 was the only defective one. It can only say two words. And that was "thank you".
"I really don't get why Marukawa is sending me these dumb robots!" Usami Akihiko grumbled while dragging a deep one from his cigarette. He was in the roof top together with her editor Aikawa, sipping a little of her tea, enjoying the summer breeze.
The woman glanced at the boy doll standing by the doorway gazing at Usami Akihiko. Looking at the doll designed to look as close to a human being as possible, no one would think that the "boy" was only a mechanical thing ran by a series of programs covered with aesthetics. Since Marukawa was a huge group of company from books to foods to engineering, the company sends the author some of its product so he could review it. Reviews coming from the number one author that time was a huge publicity.
"Sensei...I think he's really cute. Please don't be harsh to the boy..."
Aikawa felt bad about the android for some reason. Series 01 M15AK1 was a human android designed for old people in care facilities and people with disabilities so that these people could have their personal companions. These dolls usually could carry a normal conversation. And aside from charging them with electricity there was nothing that they needed.
Since the series number was hard to say, Usami turned the android's name to 'Misaki'.
Usami threw a spiteful look at the doll and snorted. "Cute? What part? He's only a nuissance around my flat. Not to mention he could only say 'thank you', 'thank you'. Is this the product Marukawa Robotics are taking pride of? How on Earth are they expecting me to release a review about that trash?"
Aikawa frowned at the author before motioning to the doll to come closer. "Hello? Misaki-chan right? That old guy there is scary, isn't he?" the woman cooed.
The doll wearing a pink jacket and denim trousers looked up at his "owner" and smiled. A smile that looked painful and slow but the face did turn into a smile. "Thank you...thank you..."
Sighing, Aikawa patted the chocolate hair of the doll and whispered to the boy's ears.
The doll just said his usual phrase.
"That reminds me sensei, since I reported this defect on the M15AK1 Series, they'd be sending another one. Apparently they already stopped doing his batch. They couldn't find where's the error about this one so they moved on to a different project. I heard they'd be sending you a new android."
Usami stubbed his cigarette and closed his eyes. "I wish they send me something that would be helpful. Something that could at least clean the house perhaps? And talk?"
The pendulum clock struck 12 and the dark flat was nothing but silent. The green eyed doll was wandering about the house of the author, picking up the dried leaves of the plant near the author's room.
Looking on both his sides, he entered the ajar door and soundlessly went to the author's huge bed. He stared at the sleeping face in the dark for a couple of minutes.
The doll almost jumped when his owner stirred from the bed. The author's blanket slipped down on the floor from his stirring. Staring at his half naked owner, Series 01 M15AK1 bended slowly and with his rigid fingers, picked up the blanket. Careful not to wake Usami up, the doll gently put it back on the man.
Satisfied with his good deed, the doll went out and looked for cleaning materials. He heard the word 'clean' earlier. He figured his master must have wanted him to clean something. And off the doll started scrubbing the floor with a very wet mop. And after he finished, the whole living area was soaking wet.
" .Heck?" Usami uttered, staring in disbelief at his living room that turned into pool that early morning.
"Misaki!" Usami shouted. "MISAKI!"
Being rigid, the doll moved as fast as he could but only did after three minutes was he able to face his calling owner. "What is this?!"
The doll looked around him. His eyes questioning. He thought he'd done 'cleaning' and he was actually hoping a praise, but his sensors had concluded that his master was very mad instead.
"What did you do? Shit," his lavender eyes were into slits as he roamed his eyes around his wet living room. He stared at it like it would go dry on its own. Aside from the fact that there were scratches on the floor, it smelled awful.
That was when the doorbell rang. The new companiondoll has arrived.
"Could you clean up this mess?" Usami Akihiko asked the new doll. It had blonde hair and blue eyes and was dressed in casual clothing too.
After the company technicians had turned the new doll on and running, Usami wanted nothing but to see something that actually works.
"Yes, of course sir. Right away," the doll named Aki answered.
Compared to Misaki, Aki could move more fluidly. The new doll could also talk as if like a normal human being and most of all, the doll was a great worker and cook. While Aki did what Usami Akihiko wanted, Misaki lost what little attention he was getting from his owner.
"Aki," Usami called. "My editor is currently sick so deliver those manuscripts on the table to Marukawa Publishing. Could you do that?"
The blonde doll nodded and took the manuscripts right away. Giving a haughty smile at Misaki standing by the corner.
Usami who was wearing a white cotton shirt for comfort sat on the sofa with his laptop on his lap. He figured its time to write a review about Series 02 AK1. He had no complaints about the doll and he was sure it would be a great help to the people in the home for the aged once it was officially released. On the other hand, since the company already stopped the production of Series 01 M15AK1, they didn't need any more reviews about that defective doll.
For a moment, Usami felt like the first doll that came to his apartment wasn't following him much lately. It was not that he missed it. More like he was thinking if he should just shut the doll off since it was useless in the first place.
"Misaki?" he called. And right away, the doll standing by the door moved as fast as he could towards his owner. His face looked happy. His eyes sparkly as if the gloom on its appearance disappeared. "Sit there."
The doll cocked his head for a while not knowing where to sit. On the table or on the sofa across the author?
Deciding to just sit on the low table, like a good kid, Misaki sat. He was eagerly waiting for a request from the man because lately, Usami called nothing but Aki everytime.
"Can you shut yourself on your own?" Usami asked with a straight face.
The doll shook his head very rigidly that Usami found it painful to look at. "Thank you...thank you..." the doll once more uttered.
"Ugh...does that mean you can't?" the man brushed his hair with his hand and sighed. "Come here and turn your back."
It took another three minutes before the doll was able to move to his owner and turn around. Without care, Usami pulled Misaki's shirt up and groped the doll's back.
"The switch should be here..."
At the skin contact, Usami was rather shocked that it felt real. The warmth from the skin coming from his defective doll was so very vivid that it was kind of creepy. He continued searching for the switch though but he couldn't find it. And as Usami was looking for the switch to turn the doll off, the doll was crying. Though there was no tears that fell from his eyes.
"Ah...I give up...maybe next time when Aikawa comes. Go and stand back there."
Politely, Misaki painfully wore his jacket back and slowly moved back to his spot beside the door. As if he was the unrecognized watch dog of the author's flat.
Each night, Misaki would go away from his spot by the door. At the time when his owner can't see, he would sneakily go into the man's room and always check whether the blanket was on or not.
That night, Usami was stirring so much and didn't realize that he was having a fever. The doll stared at his owner for a while before going out. And when he returned, he had icepacks and cool fever in a tray. And like what he was really supposed to do, cared for the sick.
"Huh?" Usami grunted, his head aching from the after effects of having a high fever that night. The cool fever on his head fell on his lap and the basin of water was there on top of his side table. And then a knock on the door came, revealing Aki with a tray of food.
Usami smiled and patted the doll on the head without saying anything. All the while Misaki was peeking at the space between the door and room, hoping for the pat of affection he had been waiting. But seeing his master being happy while patting that Aki, Misaki took his slow steps back on the side of the main door.
That afternoon, even though he was just out of a very sudden fever, the author had decided to go out and walk for a bit. He got some new changing clothes for Aki and out of pity, brought one shirt for the defective doll.
Warm breeze around him, Usami then decided to come back into his flat and just relax there. That was when Usami Akihiko noticed the door to his flat was open.
"What... I locked this before I went out..."
The author went into his flat slowly and cautiously. Feeling the wall, the man switched on the light and noticed his reliable doll Aki standing in the middle of the living room frozen. He ran towards it and patted the cold cheeks of the android. He had a sudden thought why Misaki had a warmer feel than Aki but the thing that caught his attention at that time was Aki's situation.
According to the wrist watch the doll was wearing he was still fully charged, how come the doll was as immobile as the dead?
"Aki? Aki?"
At the blinking light of the wrist watch it said "safety mode".
"Safety mode?" the man repeated. His sharp mind ransacking the manual he had read about this series, O2 AK1s automatically shuts itself off when sensing danger.
"I knew it, someone's in the flat..." Usami darted his eyes at his door way and his useless Misaki was not there. "Great, that one must have shut off itself too..."
Not the least bit happy about having an intruder inside his flat, Usami ran up the stairs while dialling the number of the security downstairs with his phone.
"Oi! Show your damned self!" he shouted nearing his room. "Shit...my laptop...the new novel I was writing...I don't have any other copy of that yet..."
More than everything, the author was worried about his laptop being stolen. It was a precious thing for him as a writer and a person who seldom communicated with the outside world.
His lavender eyes into slits, he kicked open the door to his room and found an unconsious man lying on the floor. He moved towards the body and kicked the man's leg lightly. There was no response from the man although he didn't seem to be dead. He walked to the other side of his bed.
That was when he saw his defective doll Misaki on the floor, hugging his laptop tightly.
Usami didn't know what to feel at first for there was no response from the doll.
However, slowly, the brown head on the floor tried to look up with a creaking sound like something was broken.
With cautious moves, Usami kneeled before the doll. There was nothing that seemed to be wrong with the doll. His face was intact, his body parts looked fine.
"Misaki?" Usami called once more.
The doll on the floor extended the laptop to Usami as if telling him that he'd been trying to protect that thing with all his might. Once after the man had taken the device, the arms clinging to it fell on the floor with an ugly thud.
"Oi..." Usami touched the cheek of the doll. It was really warm.
"Thank you...thank you..."
"What on Earth are you thanking me for? Come on, stand up..." the silverhaired man hoisted the limp doll, trying to make it sit. Only to realize the huge broken part at the back side of the doll's head.
"Hey...we'll be able to fix it so hang in there okay?" Usami didn't like the blurry glint in those green eyes. True he wanted to shut the doll off, but properly. Not as a broken mannequin.
The sound of metals creaking from rigid joints echoed into Usami Akihiko's ears as he felt warm arms circle around his neck. He for the first time wondered if these android dolls could feel pain.
"Are you in pain?" he asked, going down the stairs. The sound of the security force's shoes of the condominium was already in his living room. "The guy's inside my room upstairs," he announced.
"Argh, don't do that, are you trying to choke me?" Usami muttered as the doll squeezed harder.
"Thank you...thank you..."
"Stop saying th-"
And then the doll went limp, catching Usami by surprise.
For a very weird situation having a burglar inside his flat, Usami wasn't even the least bit concerned about the man lying on his floor or what would happen to him. He could die and rot for all he cared. His attention surprisingly was all directed to the doll he always yelled at. To the doll he always told useless. To the doll he always called defective.
The limp doll slid down the sofa, not being able to steady itself anymore.
"Wait, are you out your battery?" he stood suddenly, looking around him. What should he do? As he was busy thinking, the wrist watch on Misaki blinked white.
"Program malfunction. Series 01 M15AK1 Unable to recover."
The man grabbed the thin wrist and looked at it and at the doll's face alternatingly. "Not being able to recover...Hey...Misaki...reboot."
"Thank you...thank you..."
"Stop saying THANK YOU and fucking Reboot!"
"Thank you...thank you..."
"Shit..." Usami stared at the doll helplessly. Looking at the doll, somehow, he was feeling so much guilty.
Misaki lifted one of his hand and grabbed his owner's. As if directing and leading Usami, the doll placed the huge hand on top of his head. That was when Usami started feeling a lump in his throat.
"What is it?" he asked quietly. "Want me to pat your head?"
The doll nodded.
"What an idiotic doll you are..." Usami said that, but slowly patted the doll's head for the first time. It's the first time I ever did this for you isn't it?
Without a voice coming from Usami, he mouthed "I'm sorry", which the doll saw vividly.
"Great job Misaki...you've done well..." he praised. For the first time too.
"Thank you...th-k u..."
On his living room, on the sofa was his Misaki doll lying dead. And Aki back on his "on mode". He and the police officers that came were in his CCTV room, investigating how the burglar was able to come in.
The police and Usami saw how Aki carelessly opened the door. The doll run away and went to safety mode in the middle of the living room. On the other hand, the man hadn't notice the other doll since it moved rather slowly and this doll followed the intruder up the stairs.
That was when the tug of war began with the high end laptop of the author. With the man having a baseball bat, he hit the doll with all his might, sending some screws and scraps of the aesthetics on the floor. But the Misaki doll wouldn't let go and instead threw the vase at the top drawer of his owner towards the man's head. It sent the intruder unconscious on the floor.
"Hey, look Sir, isn't your android typing something on your laptop?"
"Oh yeah... he is..." the other police agreed.
However, Usami's eyes were fixed at the huge monitor before him. The officers leaving the owner of the flat alone, Usami pressed on the 'backwards' button and hit the 'fast forward' after.
Misaki putting on his blanket.
Misaki rigidly picking up dried leaves.
Misaki just checking on him.
Misaki taking care of him when he was having a fever.
And Misaki, looking away when he patted the more useful doll "Aki".
After all the ruckus of the incident, Usami was there on his living room. He had shut Aki off and placed him on the side of the door. And beside him was the dead doll Misaki. He had tried to call Marukawa Robotics to fix the doll. But they said the parts they used for that doll was no longer being produced. And his software was different too.
In short, the doll, just like any other kind of doll would be like that. Unmoving, uncaring, just a decoration.
Sighing, Usami looked at the doll beside him, eyes open and unseeing. And most of all, the warmth was already gone.
"Why...do I feel like shit?"
He picked up his laptop one more time on the middle of his table and opened it slowly.
His breath was caught up in his throat and as if he lost his strenght in his body, he placed the device down. With his hand, he traced the doll's once warm cheek and patted it again on the head one more time.
"Usami-san...that's odd. We never input something like that in him. Given that he can only say two words..." the Marukawa engineer said when he checked if he could still fix the broken doll. It just left Usami staring at the lifeless doll.
"I'm sorry...I'm such a bad owner...really...I'm sorry..." Usami whispered, his eyes reddening as he watched the unmoving doll on his sofa. "You know I'd rather have you than the most efficient doll there is...really. I'm sorry, from the bottom of my heart..."
That was when the author finally got to taste the bitter and painful taste of having regrets at the end.
It said, "'Usami-san, I love you. Thank you. Thank you.' -Series 01 M15AK1"
chapter end notes:
lol..i know there are tons of android ideas in mangas and stuff...but i at least wanted to try a defective one instead of the eyepopping androids and dolls which are the norm.^^
thanks for the time...the ball jointed dolls are my inspiration here, though they are crazy expensive (but very beautiful)...*sigh*

The first project I started was a Zapper, researched by the late dr Hulda Clark and her son, can be used to kill viruses and parasites in ones body.
The unit creates a 30kHz block signal, with the loop, 7 minutes on, 20 off, 7 on, 20 off and finally 7 minutes on. This will get rid of all intruders and more........
For more information on the Hulda Clark Zapper, click here!
The Zapper, works on one 9V battery. The puls is created by a 555 timer chip. The automation and battery check is done by a PIC16F689 microcontroller.
The complete drawing set and firmware is available!

Guillaume Van der Stighelen, co-founder and creative partner of Duval Guillaume, one of Europe's leading creative agencies, will take up a new challenge within Publicis ww. With immediate effect, Guillaume will be responsible for inspiring and motivating creative Publicis talent around the globe. In his new role, he will work closely together with Richard Pinder, COO of Publicis ww, Olivier Altmann, chief creative officer and John Woodward, chief strategy officer. Their ambition is to further improve the creative product of Publicis as a whole. "Guillaume has got the attitude and stamina and certainly the experience to help us achieve our ambitious goals", says Richard Pinder. "The Duval Guillaume track record with 24 Cannes lions in recent years speaks for itself."
"Therefore I have assigned the role of Global Contagious Officer to one of our best creative ambassadors, Guillaume Van der Stighelen. Together with André Duval, Guillaume co-founded one of our most highly regarded offices, Duval Guillaume in Belgium. André and Guillaume have always attracted the best talent in the market and have nurtured new creative leaders in Antwerp and Brussels to take over", says Olivier Altmann, chief creative officer.
"I see this as a great challenge and an important step in my professional life. Implementing what I have learned whilst working for local and international clients onto on a higher, global level", says Guillaume. "I really look forward to working with Olivier, John and Richard".
What does this mean for Duval Guillaume ? "Well, first and foremost, Guillaume's name will stay on the door", says Klaus Lommatzsch, CEO. "Guillaume has – among many other things - always greatly inspired our people and will continue to do so. We will keep on working in the spirit of what Guillaume has taught us and we will keep on doing creative justice to his name. Now may be even more than ever because creatively we will have to be the best in class. Only, Guillaume will work for Publicis worldwide as his first employer, which means that the lion share of his time will be spent abroad. We will of course still be able to call upon him, just like any Publicis agency around the globe.
"The confirmation of his new role coming through is really great news", adds Andre Duval, co-founder and chairman of Duval Guillaume and Publicis Brussels". It is certainly good news for all agencies who can call upon him. For Duval Guillaume, it means a permanent representation at the top of the network. I trust it will further boost our capability to help our clients on an international level."

IATA rides to the rescue
21 / 03 / 2014
FULL CREDIT to IATA for upping its air cargo game in the last few years.
For an airline association, which traditionally appeared to be more favourably focused on passenger affairs, cargo suddenly has great drive and energy at its core as it wrest-les with a panoply of growing pains.
I say suddenly, because it has taken 70 years or so to get to this point. Des Vertannes and his colleagues deserve a big thank you from the air cargo industry for not only consistently identifying and promoting the key issues, but also for carving out potential solutions through consultative and co-operative methods.
IATA's World Cargo Symposium, held in Los Angeles a couple of weeks ago, illustrates my point. This event was probably the best organised air cargo 'talk-in' that's ever been staged. And I've been to a few.
The list of articulate speakers on a wide range of excellent subjects – covering the effects of on-shoring, trade protectionism, modal shift, the environment, to new regulations on security and temperature-control, the much-needed revolution in ground handling and, overall, devising ways and means of making this industry more sustainably profitable in the long term was remarkably good.
Pity the hotel's broadband kept collapsing.
Air Cargo News' aim for another important discussion subject for later this year – which is currently at the planning stage – will, I hope, be equally well received.
My colleagues and I are in the throes of investigating the prospects of a thorough exploration of all that's new about the air cargo industry and its ability to keep up with temperature-controlled transportation regulations and trends.
Carriers and other players who wish to enter – or remain – in this highly valued upper-yield niche need to stay awake and on track.

Maracatu is one of the best examples of fusion of Portuguese, African and Native Brazilian traditions. It is, basically, a street procession of a king, his queen and the court, followed by a percussion band. It evolved from the crowning of the Congo king, a popular festival apparently originated in Olinda, Pernambuco state. The music evolved from the chants played during Congadas, folk cerimonies that culminate with the election of the king and the queen of the Black Nation.
The details may vary and may include a multitude of princesses, fake Natives covered in feathers and baianas (women dressed in huge baloon skirts, white turbans and golden necklaces). They may pass around the calunga, a rag doll attached to a baton. The group is followed by the percussion orchestra that plays drums of different sizes, shakers, snares and agogô.
There are three main styles – Maracatu Nação, Maracatu Rural and Maracatu Cearense, this one practiced in the state of Ceará. Maracatu Nação or de Baque Virado originated in the early 18th century in Olinda, while Maracatu Rural, initiated in the 19th century in the countryside of Pernambuco. It includes a pilgrimage and a big reunion in Recife, the state capital.
Have a taste of the party with this video by Marcelo Rodrigues shows a performance of the Maracatu Caboclo de Lança Cambinda Brasileira, from Nazaré da Mata, near Recife.
Also, check this story about a public school in São Paulo where kids learn how to make instruments and play the maracatu.

What is Hyperopia?
It is very common for farsighted people to have headaches or eye strain and they struggle or feel fatigued when performing work at close range. This situation worsens with advancing age, when Presbyopia further compromises the ability to see at near.
In hyperopia typically the cornea is too flat or not curved enough to allow light rays to focus on the retina and they come to a theoretical focus behind the retina rather than directly on it. A farsighted eyeball is typically shorter than the nearsighted eye.
Children born with hyperopia are usually harder to detect in school and pediatrician screenings because they can usually see the eye chart used for testing at 20 feet quite well and the testing for near vision problems are usually only done in Ophthalmologists' offices. Such testing should be mandatory, because uncorrected hyperopia in a child can be one of the causes of amblyopia and/or strabismus. These can usually be corrected if detected prior to age 5.
Glasses or contact lenses can be used to correct farsightedness by changing the way light rays enter the eyes. Glasses or contact lens prescriptions begin with plus numbers, like +2.50 when you are farsighted. Depending on the prescription and the work environment, farsighted persons may need to wear their glasses or contacts all the time or only when reading, working on a computer, or doing other close-up work such as hobbies requiring fine close vision.
LASIK or Epi-LASIK is another successful method for correcting hyperopia and should reduce or eliminate the need to wear glasses or contact lenses. There are also more invasive surgical methods to correct farsightedness, which are beyond the scope of this article.

Merck, GlaxoSmithKline halt copay help for Obamacare patients

Merck and GlaxoSmithKline have nixed their copay assistance for Obamacare patients. The two companies say they fear subsidizing patients' drug purchases will run afoul of federal anti-kickbacks law. But many other top drugmakers- including Novartis, Sanofi and Eli Lilly–will keep their copay cards and discounts, at least for now.

In connection with the pricing of the notes, the Company has entered into privately-negotiated convertible note hedge transactions with affiliates of several of the initial purchasers of the notes (in this capacity, the "option counterparties"). The Company also entered into warrant transactions with the option counterparties. The convertible note hedge transactions are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to the Company's common stock upon any conversion of notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted notes, as the case may be. However, the warrant transactions could separately have a dilutive effect to the extent that the market value per share of the Company's common stock exceeds the applicable strike price of the warrants. If the initial purchasers exercise their over-allotment option, the Company expects to enter into additional convertible note hedge transactions and additional warrant transactions with the option counterparties.
In connection with establishing their initial hedges of the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates expect to enter into various derivative transactions with respect to the Company's common stock and/or purchase shares of the Company's common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of the Company's common stock or the notes at that time.
In addition, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivative transactions with respect to the Company's common stock and/or purchasing or selling the Company's common stock or other securities of the Company in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the notes and prior to the maturity of the notes (and are likely to do so during any observation period related to a conversion of notes). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of the Company's common stock or the notes, which could affect the ability of noteholders to convert the notes and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of the notes, it could affect the number of shares and value of the consideration that noteholders will receive upon conversion of the notes.
The notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will be convertible into, subject to various conditions, cash, shares of the Company's common stock, or a combination thereof, at the Company's election. The Company expects to use approximately
The notes will bear interest at a rate of 1.50% per year, payable semiannually in arrears. The initial conversion rate is 20.0673 shares of common stock for each

The offering is being made to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

Why I Will Never, Ever, EVER Get a Tattoo
Would I have to start planning outfits around the tattoo like I plan for weather?
For the past two years, I've had most of my head shaved. It was mostly a matter of convenience. Before I went on a blondie-bender, (a choice I've previously bemoaned on this site) I had an obscene amount of hair. My neck was always sweating. Like a wire-haired terrier, I had both an undercoat and an overcoat of curls -- each with its own distinctive texture and haircare requirements. In a not-so-distant January, I decided to get rid of it a la Rihanna.
It was baller. It was bad ass. It was only the beginning.
Since that fateful day, I've experimented with my short hair while mostly letting the top grow out (so long, bristly undercoat!) unencumbered (there was a disastrous bangs incident in last Fall that I don't want to talk about, but that I will show you a picture of because this is a safe space and we love each other).
Fast forward to now, November 12th in the downtown Time Inc. offices, and I'm fresh off my bi-monthly buzz. You can see a tiny scar on my scalp from a childhood injury, but damn I'll good in earmuffs.
I don't have any plans to grow out my mostly-undercut any time soon (because, honestly, it would be a puffy fools errand). I like having less volume weighing down my head and the longish hair I do have is so full of secrets that most of the time, no one can tell I'm naked scalped.
Except when I rock a top knot.
That's my most epic hair saga and now I want to hear about yours. Have you ever been a part of the technicolor unicorn hair craze? How about a G.I. Jane bare all buzzfest? Share your selfies, your stories, and your baddest, bestest hairstyles in the comments. I'll be around, ready to demand photographic evidence of your tress adventures. (Just kidding, I'm not supposed to say tresses. Jane would be mad. Just ignore the tress part.)

MARINE GETS BOOTED by JACK BOOT MINDED SENATOR FROM TESTIFYING TOO MUCH TRUTH!
I find this personally disgusting and what I feel as a final insult. I have watched for years my state and others deny patients including me Medical Cannabis which is such a mild benign substance in comparison to the Pharmeceutical drugs that they have me on, that to see this Marine who suffers from PTSD along with other issues, not only thrown out for sharing his story, but silenced without ever using profanity, or yelling. Using an adjective to describe how he and his fellow Vets have been treated by police and this insane War on Medicine and everything natural, when I have SEEN IT CURE CANCER WITH MY OWN DAMN EYES, is no longer acceptable to me. It is DEMOCIDE. Death by government, regardless of intention or malfeasance. This must stop. They are there to serve us, not the other way around. A recent MSNBC poll asked its audience, a primarily liberal audience if people should have the right to carry a gun or not......96% said yes! This confirms what I have suspected all along.....that the actual amount of individuals who support the treason of gun control are very few. The rest is political and mass media hype which they are trying to brainwash America just like the criminal Holder said. How sad it is when you can look to the highest law enforcement officer in Washington DC and that can be said about him. I am truly disgusted today and ashamed of what D.C. has become which is a cesspool of special interests......all of them, but that of the American people.

Bobcats considering trading down from No. 2 slot
New Charlotte coach Mike Dunlap said the idea of trading down from the No. 2 spot in the NBA Draft to acquire extra picks "makes a lot of sense" for a young team like the Bobcats. After finishing 7-59 and with the worst winning percentage (.106) in NBA history, the Bobcats have a variety of holes to fill this off-season.
That's one of the reasons Dunlap said the Bobcats are taking a "hybrid thinking" approach to Thursday night's draft, which means evaluating the talent available at No. 2 while simultaneously looking into the feasibility of moving down and picking up an additional first-round draft pick.
Dunlap said the decision on whether to remain at No. 2 or move down will be up to his bosses — GM Rich Cho and director of basketball operations Rod Higgins. As of now they're not talking about the draft, although both are expected to address the media at a pre-draft press conference Wednesday.
The New Orleans Hornets won the NBA lottery and have the No 1 pick. It would be a major surprise if they don't take Kentucky's Anthony Davis, considered by many a franchise-type player.
The No. 2 pick is a bit more complicated.
There's no consensus pick for that spot, with opinions varying on whether Kansas forward Thomas Robinson, Florida guard Brandon Beal, Kentucky swingman Michael Kidd-Gilchrist or North Carolina forward Harrison Barnes might be the next best player available.
■ The Atlanta Hawks hired Danny Ferry as president of basketball operations and general manager. Ferry, 45, will replace Rick Sund, whose contract expires at the end of June.
Ferry comes to the Hawks after two years as vice president of basketball operations for the San Antonio Spurs. As general manager for the Cleveland Cavaliers from 2005-10, Ferry helped to build the team that advanced to the 2007 NBA Finals.
Ferry, a former standout at Duke, averaged 7.0 points and 2.8 rebounds in 917 career games with Cleveland (1990-2000) and San Antonio (2000-03).
Sports in the courts
Lawyer: Sandusky insists he's not guilty
As Jerry Sandusky insisted through a lawyer Monday that he is not guilty of sexually abusing children, a juror who voted to convict the retired Penn State assistant football coach said she hoped the verdict would help his accusers heal.
The jury found the testimony of the eight victims who took the witness stand compelling, Ann Van Kuren said Monday. Jurors weighed the accounts and evidence diligently before finding Sandusky guilty last week of 45 counts for sexually abusing 10 boys over 15 years, she said.
She expressed empathy for the eight men who offered emotional and explicit testimony.
"I really feel for the victims and any other victims that are out there that haven't come forward," Van Kuren said. "That all of them need to heal. I'm hoping that this trial, with this verdict, will help them heal."
Sandusky, 68, is under observation at the Centre County jail, where he is being kept away from other inmates pending a psychological review that will help determine the next step toward his sentencing in about three months.
"He's defiant and wants the truth to be told. He wants people to know that he's not guilty," said defense lawyer Karl Rominger, who visited his client Monday.
"He is very disappointed to be in prison. He is anxious to get out of this suicide watch," Rominger said, adding that Sandusky told him: "If I have to keep sitting in this room for another three or four days without being able to talk to anybody, I might start to need help at that point."
Gumm 1st in State Am qualifying round
Lydia Gumm, who will be a senior at North Hardin in the fall, posted the best score in qualifying — a 4-under 68 — in the Women's State Amateur tournament at Elizabethtown Country Club. The top 31 players in qualifying, plus defending champion April Emerson, who will be a junior at Eastern Kentucky University, will start match play Tuesday. Karisa Akin, a Central Hardin graduate who plays for Middle Tennessee State, shot a 69 to finish second in the qualifying round.
■ Matt Dobyns shot a 4-under 68 to take a three-stroke lead after the second round of the PGA Professional National Championship in Seaside, Calif. Dobyns, 34, the PGA head professional at Fresh Meadow Country Club in Lake Success, N.Y., had an 8-under 136 total. He played the Bayonet course, the site of the final two rounds, after opening at Black Horse on Sunday.
First-round leader Mike Small, the University of Illinois coach who won the event in 2005, '09 and '10, had a 73 at Bayonet to drop into a tie for second with Paul Scaletta. Scaletta, a PGA assistant at The Bear's Club in Jupiter, Fla., shot a 72 at Bayonet.
The final top 20 will earn spots in the PGA Championship in August at Kiawah Island in South Carolina.
College World Series
Arizona finishes off Gamecocks for title
Brandon Dixon's tie-breaking double started a three-run ninth inning for Arizona, and the Wildcats won their first national title since 1986 with a 4-1 victory over two-time defending champion South Carolina on Monday night.
James Farris and Mathew Troupe combined to limit the Gamecocks to three hits as the Wildcats won their fourth title overall. The others came in 1976 and 1980.
Dixon, who entered the game in the sixth inning, sent a grounder down the third-base line past LB Dantzler for his first hit of the College World Series.
South Carolina was trying to become the first team in 40 years to win three consecutive national titles. The Gamecocks loaded the bases against Troupe (6-1) in the ninth but couldn't score.
Saudis to permit women to compete
Saudi Arabia, a monarchy with severe restrictions on women in daily life, will allow female athletes to compete in the Olympics for the first time at this summer's London Games if they qualify, according to a statement by the country's embassy in London.
"The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is looking forward to its complete participation in the London 2012 Olympic Games through the Saudi Arabian Olympic Committee, which will oversee the participation of women athletes who can qualify for the Games," the statement, released Sunday, said.
The London Games could be historic, as every participating nation is expected to field at least one female athlete, including the three Muslim countries — Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Brunei — that previously have sent only male competitors.
Saudi Arabia, whose legal system is based on Islamic law, is considered the most significant of the three because of its size and international influence. The country has been criticized in the West for its general treatment of women, who face restrictions in things like gaining employment, getting an education and traveling abroad.
It is unlikely that many female athletes from Saudi Arabia will qualify for the London Games. Dalma Rushdi Malhas, an equestrian, is regarded as the country's most accomplished female athlete; she won a bronze medal at the Youth Olympics in 2010.
The last word
Kim Clijsters, who beat Jelena Jankovic in straight sets on Monday at Wimbledon, talked about her 4-year-old daughter's concern over the tournament's dress code for players:
"She was like, 'Mama, do I have to wear white, too?'"

Oh hie everyone. Sorry for abandon-ing my blog for weeks. I think many people also never see my blog liao also. Anyway, I'm still alive and healthy and feelings i tak berapa happy sangat la.
Currently I'm staying in Aljunied, along Upper Aljunied road. Everyday I travel to Orchard for work from 8am-4pm. So if any of you happen to be in Orchard road after 4pm from Monday-Saturday, please find me *desperate look*.
So for your info, I am working in the Operating Theater. Not functioning as a Scrub Nurse or Circulating Nurse yet. Just an observer and learning through observing. So I have seen all kinds of General Surgeries and Obstretic and Gynae surgeries, from delivering of baby through Caeserean Section, to removing the uterus, ovaries and cervix (Total Hysterectomy and Bilateral Salpingo-Oophorectomy) to opening the abdomen, digging through the intestines looking for the intestine to cut off, putting some hard metal scope in your urethra, to circumcision, and many more….I use to get disgusted, now I feel excited. ^^
Anyway, honestly speaking, I have not done any shopping yet. I feel very tempted to shop, but if I shop I no need to eat d. So I never go out until last week when Josh came down. =)
Ok, go back to my shopping story.
1. I took him to Bugis, I saw a pretty skirt, only SGD10. But I don't dare to buy.
2. I took him to Orchard. So many shops having sales. I don't dare to buy also.
3. I took him to VivoCity. Went to Forever 21. Saw most pretty pretty tops, skirts, dresses are like SGD33. It's like seeing RM33 from the salary i'm going to earn. But I haven get that salary yet ma….So I don't dare to buy
To cut the whole story short, I didn't buy anything lah after walking in Singapore from 10am-6pm.
Surprisingly again……no pictures to put on blog at the moment…=( I promise I will take pictures this weekend if I got go out.
Before I forget, I attended Heart of God Church last weekend. Went there alone and nobody knew I was new. Until I sengaja show my lost look.
And of course I go up to the usher and say, "Sorry it's my first time here….I'm lost.."
And the usher got so panic! Hahahaha!
Then they bring me to one person, and to another person and to another one and another one (they introduced themselves…and sorry, i forgot all their names….) and finally a guy name Daniel came and brought me to a seat with his CG members. And everytime I meet someone there, they will definitely ask me, "How did you know about HoGC?" And haha, I give the exact same answer to everybody who asked me, I think I answered more than 10 times. Lol!
But it is a great church. Great worship, great message, great people. =)
I'm quite sad cause I miss home, I miss mom and dad and my siblings, I miss my puppy, I miss him….I just miss the comfort I use to have back home in Malaysia. At the moment, I'm living in a small tiny room for 2 and sharing toilet with more than 100 people from China, Myanmar and other countries. I can't pang sai here, I have to go to hospital to pang sai. I feel quite the lonely here. how?
Alright, time to sleep.

Hi DBCowboy,
The recount will open up opportunities for voter fraud, specifically tampering in favor of Hillary.
The re-count isn't necessary, as the Clintons will order enough un-pledged electors to change their minds and vote for Hillary on Dec 22nd, to trigger a win for her. The Clintons have very effective ways to deal with anyone who fails to do as they're told.
Electors, who defy their constituents, might enjoy a healthy life to follow (unless they talk, or unless they might talk).

There are flaws in any voting system , either inherent or by design , remember the hanging chad ?
If there's doubt and the margin of victory is small then a recount is justified although I doubt the recount will change the result.
Perhaps they will discover that a foreign power did hack some of the voting machines.

Centrifugal vs. Masticating Juicers
There are varying schools of thought on juicers and people who prepare their own juice daily do tend to become attached to their style of juicer, whether it be a masticating or centrifugal juicer. If you're reading this, I'm most happy that you're considering juicing at all, which ever style you choose!
Many types of juicers are available on the market and they may differ widely in both quality and price. A centrifugal juicer is typically less expensive and is likely a great "starter juicer" for some who have never juiced at all, while a cold press juicer (also known as a masticating or slow juicer) many argue, will produce a superior quality juice as it allows for greater juice extraction from fruits and veggies and retains more enzymes from the vegetables and fruits themselves which allows for a longer refrigerated shelf life (generally up to three days). It's likely that in juicing with this type of juicer, you will be saving money in the long run.
Let's get to know each type of juicer a little better; hopefully, any hesitation you may have about purchasing one at all will be eliminated by the end of this!
Centrifugal juicers are commonly found in retail outlets and are the lesser expensive of the two (an excellent juicer may start at $150). These juicers work to extract juice by pulverizing fruits and vegetables against a round cutting blade that spins at high speeds against a metal strainer. The centrifugal force generated by the spinning motion of the blade separates the juice from the pulp. You will end up with a bright, frothy juice on one end of the machine and the pulp remaining in a catch container on the other end. Here are the upsides: this type of juicer is easy to clean up. This juicer is quick, easy to use, easy to clean and…and this is important to many, the prep time is minimal. Because the fruits and veggies are fed through a pretty wide feeder chute, you don't have to spend much time slicing and dicing beforehand. Even whole carrots make it through nice and easy! Here's the downside to these juicers: they're loud! Not many people mention this but I have kids who like to sleep in and let me tell you, I've resisted making a juice too early in the morning because, well, who wants to wake up to what sounds like leaf blowers in the kitchen?! Because the blade of the machine is spinning so fast, many will argue that heat is produced thereby killing some of the living enzymes before you take your first sip. Less juice is provided here and smaller leafy greens, grasses (wheatgrass), sprouts and herbs don't juice as well here.
These machines operate via a masticating (chewing) or cold press method. Unlike the more aggressive extraction and high speeds of centrifugal juicers, cold press juicers operate at slower speeds and gently press fruit and vegetables to "squeeze" out their juice. These juicers cost more (a good one may start at $350). Many fans of this type could argue that a higher quality juice is produced and it is true that more juice is extracted using this juicer. Here are the upsides: this type of juicer does well with sprouts, grasses, and all types of leafy greens. More juice is yielded and more enzymes are retained thereby allowing for a longer refrigerated shelf life (up to 72 hours). This juicer is quiet; no waiting until everyone in the house is awake to enjoy your green goodness! Finally, many of the masticating juicers on the market also allow for the juicing of nuts (for those of you ready to take the plunge into making your own nut milks or butters, this feature is a bonus for you). Here are the downsides: the initial cost is greater, sometimes significantly so, depending on the model. Next, there is more initial food preparation; you can't just shove your fruits and veggies in this juicer, there's a lot more slicing and dicing required beforehand. This type of juicer is slower; it will take more time to get to the good stuff for sure.
Here's my take:
I just want you to start drinking juices everyday! Whether you purchase them from a reputable store that serves organic, raw green juices or you decide to invest in your own, what's most important is incorporating them into your day. If you have never made your own juices, I would recommend that you get yourself a less expensive, centrifugal juicer. I have used the Breville Juice Fountain Plus for years and I love it! I purchased it for $150 dollars and have replaced the $50 blade a couple of times now. When I purchase a juice, it is cold pressed and for those days that I know I'll be on the go with no time in the morning to juice myself, it's really helpful to buy juices that I know will last up to a few days. Personally though, I love a juice made in my Breville. I have never had an issue getting plenty of juice from any fruits or veggies and juicing leafy greens have never been an issue for me here. In fairness, I had been warned about this issue so I devised a strategy of feeding smaller leaves (sprouts, for example) along with heartier ones (romaine) and have had no problem reaping all the benefits of both. And I love that it's a little frothy on top! It tangy and fresh and, I don't know, just somehow tastes ALIVE! Choose what will make sense for you, in your kitchen, as a part of your lifestyle! That's what really matters here. More than anything, I want to encourage you to start to drink your greens. And, importantly, make sure, whether you purchase or make a green juice on your own, your ingredients are raw and organic, always, if that's possible for you. Finally, enjoy!

DOT steps up traffic changes to ease 4th Avenue congestion
A large stretch of Fourth Avenue is now off limits to parked and standing vehicles during the morning rush in an effort to ease congestion.
The Department of Transportation (DOT) created a no standing zone in the northbound parking lane between 15th and 39th streets. The new regulations are now in effect from 7 a.m. until 10 a.m. weekdays.
Officials say the change was made in close collaboration with local residents, businesses and politicians. It is also part of a larger initiative to improve what is one of the busiest streets in the borough, and also one of the most deadly.
