— Rookie right-hander Scott Carroll came into Monday night's game at Fenway Park with a 5.05 ERA and having been hammered in each of his last two starts.
But Monday, the 29-year-old Carroll, making his eighth major league start, became the latest pitcher to handle the last-place Boston Red Sox. He gave up one hit over 6 2/3 innings and two relievers finished off a two-hitter as the Chicago White Sox cruised to a 4-0 win over Boston in the opener of a four-game series.
Designated hitter Adam Dunn and right fielder Dayan Viciedo homered against Clay Buchholz, Dunn's 13th of the season a solo shot in the second inning and Viciedo's 11th a three-run job in the fourth.
The win was the fourth in the last five games and seventh in the last 10 for the White Sox, while the Red Sox fell to 1-6 on their current homestand and have lost 12 of their last 17 to fall to 39-50.
Carroll (3-5) walked two and struck out five in his first win as a starter since his major league debut on April 27. He had allowed 12 runs on 19 hits in 11 innings over his last two starts, both losses.
Carroll got 13 of his 20 outs on grounders, with only two balls besides catcher A.J. Pierzynski's leadoff single in the third inning leaving the infield.
Javy Garra and and Zach Putnam finished up.
Buchholz (3-5) worked the first seven innings and was the victim of a lack of support and a couple of bad pitches. It was his first loss in three starts since coming off the disabled list.
Carroll's performance was the fifth straight strong start by the White Sox. Chicago starters have a 0.74 ERA over that span.
For Dunn, the homer was the 453rd of his career, snapping a tie for 35th place on the all-time list with former Red Sox great Carl Yastrzemski. Boston designated hitter David Ortiz has 450.
Both Dunn and Viciedo had two of the White Sox's six hits.
Boston was shut out for the ninth time this season.
In the second, Dunn hit a 2-2 pitch over the bullpens in right field to put the White Sox ahead 1-0. He was 0-for-7 against Buchholz previously.
Dunn doubled with two outs in the third, and shortstop Alexei Ramirez walked on four pitches. Viciedo, who singled in the second inning, worked an 0-2 count to 3-2, then drilled a home run to right-center.
The Red Sox, meanwhile, went in order in four of the first five innings, getting only a leadoff single from Pierzynski in the third.

The start of the game was delayed 39 minutes by rain. ... White Sox 3B Conor Gillaspie was out of the lineup due to a sore right knee after getting hit by a pitch Sunday. ... The Red Sox activated 1B/OF Mike Carp from the disabled list and optioned INF Jonathan Herrera to Triple-A Pawtucket. ... Boston RF Shane Victorino, on the DL since May 24 with hamstring and back trouble, starts his latest minor league rehab Wednesday. ... White Sox LHP John Danks faces Boston RHP Brandon Workman today. ... The Red Sox hadn't announced a pitcher for Wednesday, with RHP Rubby De La Rosa the favorite but RHP Anthony Ranaudo also mentioned by manager John Farrell before Monday's game. De La Rosa was lifted after one inning of his Triple-A start on Sunday, leaving him ready for Wednesday. ... White Sox 1B/DH Paul Konerko, retiring after the season, is a New England product making his final trip to Fenway.

Ted Melnik Joins Valent BioSciences As Executive Vice President & Chief Operating Officer
Ted Melnik has joined Valent BioSciences Corp. (VBC) as the company's executive vice president and chief operating officer. Beginning August 26, Melnik will assume leadership for the day-to-day business operations of VBC including responsibility for achieving its short- and mid-range business plans.
Melnik will report directly to Mike Donaldson, president and chief executive officer of VBC. He joins Andy Lee, Executive Vice president and chief operating officer for Valent U.S.A. Corp. and Roberto Carpentier, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Pace International, as recent additions to the Sumitomo and VBC Management team.
Melnik fills a position that was envisioned in 2009 when Donaldson's responsibilities expanded to include leadership of Sumitomo Chemical's Health and Crop Sciences companies in NAFTA and Latin America, as well as his continuing role as executive officer at SCC in Tokyo.
According to Donaldson, Melnik's history of innovation and leadership in biorational development for agriculture align well with the company's future growth expectations.
"Ted's experience and first-hand knowledge of the biorationals business and industry make him an excellent fit for this important position," Donaldson says. "The business models of VBC, Valent U.S.A. and Pace International each have unique requirements and roles within the global SCC agricultural market segments. Ted's addition will allow for increased collaboration and synergies between all SCC Regional affiliate companies worldwide, including both conventional and biorational crop production solutions."
Melnik comes to VBC with more than 30 years of experience, including leadership positions with both biorational and conventional chemistry companies. In 2001, Melnik was named president of the newly created Novozymes Biologicals Inc., a position he held until 2010. Melnik will play a key role in overseeing the commissioning of VBC's new $150 million biorational manufacturing facility in Osage, Iowa, that will come on line in 2014.
"I am excited about the opportunities for VBC, as well as the other Sumitomo Chemical affiliate companies around the world," Melnik says. "With its continually expanding portfolio of innovative and high-quality products, VBC has strengthened its position as the worldwide leader in the development and commercialization of biorationals. VBC's recent acquisition of Pace International for postharvest solutions and the construction of its new biorational manufacturing plant in Osage, Iowa, are testaments to the company's success, the vision of its leadership and its commitment to its partners and customers worldwide."

a game without a goal of any sort. mediocre.You will spend so much time grinding things you'll thought it was a job. I won't suggest this game to anyone tho.
try it now. not sure what it was before but there is plenty to do now!
The game is great – beats the pants off Game of War. if you like lots of tournaments and a friendly community and not too harsh penalties for sending your troops off to pvp, this game is for you. It is free to play, but only gently so. Its easy to play for a long time and enjoy it without paying. Most beautiful cities in the genre. Did I mention its FREE?

Last week's decision in the case of United States v Dicristina declaring poker to be a game of skill has many onlookers rejoicing, expecting the ruling in the Eastern District of New York (EDNY) federal court to suddenly herald a new and wide-open era of poker.
The IGBA and other federal gambling statutes, from the 1961 Wire Act through the 2006 UIGEA, uniformly ignore any mention of the word "poker," leaving much to be interpreted by enforcement and judicial authorities.
The endstory was that the PPA, on behalf of Dicristina, offered better expert testimony than the prosecution's expert, who mailed in a less rigorous proof of poker as gambling, replete with lack of first-hand knowledge and examples of opinion masquerading as factual analysis.
The verdict can always be appealed, and the government has already invested considerable resources in propagating the appearance of poker as an unsavory gambling activity; there's no reason to expect that anit-poker-minded feds will just curl up into a ball and roll off into the sunset.
The Dicristina ruling applies only on the federal level, and the federal level might be a losing platform for arguing poker's skill merits anyway.

The 'Problem of Evil' in Postwar Europe
"After 1945 our parents' generation set aside the problem of evil because —for them—it contained too much meaning. The generation that will follow us is in danger of setting the problem aside because it now contains too little meaning. How can we prevent this? How, in other words, can we ensure that the problem of evil remains the fundamental question for intellectual life, and not just in Europe? I don't know the answer but I am pretty sure that it is the right question." READ MORE >

Pope Benedict: Pius XII 'spared no effort' to help Jews during WWII
A symposium held in Rome confirmed the Church's position on Pope Pius XII: "'Thanks to the vast quantity of documented material which you have gathered, supported by many authoritative testimonies, your symposium offers to the public forum the possibility of knowing more fully what Pius XII achieved for the Jews persecuted by the Nazi and fascist regimes,'" Benedict said."'One understands, then, that wherever possible he spared no effort in intervening in their favor either directly or through instructions given to other individuals or to institutions of the Catholic Church."

Indonesia Elects Metalhead President Joko Widodo
Did Indonesia just elect history's first metalhead President?! Jakarta Governor Joko Widodo, who has publicly declared his love for bands such as Metallica, Led Zeppelin, Lamb of God and even Napalm Death, received 53.13 percent of the vote in Indonesia's 2014 Presidential election.
We first reported on the 53-year-old in May 2013 after Metallica sent the politician a bass guitar autographed by Rob Trujillo. However, Widodo was forced to give up his prized possession in a controversial decision after it was declared state property by the Corruption Eradication Commission.
On Aug. 25, Metallica performed in Indonesia, and guess who was in the crowd? Widodo wasn't just enjoying the show, he was reportedly thrusting his fists in the air in the middle of a "sweat-soaked, headbanging crowd." "I listen to loud metal songs, from Metallica to Led Zeppelin, to Napalm Death … because rock is my passion," Widodo told Indonesian news outlet AFP before attending the Metallica show.
According to the BBC, Joko Widodo, who ran on a platform of "a decisive break with Indonesia's authoritarian past and better social welfare for the poor," won the Presidency after around 130 million votes were cast. However, Widodo's opponent, ex-general Prabowo Subianto has claimed electoral fraud. During the vote-counting period, both candidates had raised concerns over irregularities, but Widodo's margin of six percent has been called "decisive."
Subianto has three days to file an official appeal with Indonesia's constitutional court.
Congratulations to Joko Widodo and his Indonesian supporters!

Antonio Morrison seems to be a man of few words. But, then it only took a few for him to get his message across Wednesday afternoon.
Antonio Morrison seems to be a man of few words. But, then it only took a few for him to get his message across Wednesday afternoon.
At an informal news conference that he requested, the Florida sophomore middle linebacker apologized for his actions that led to two arrests and a one-game suspension, and then made it clear that he is moving on.
"First off, I want to apologize for getting in trouble the past few weeks," Morrison said. "It's sincere for me. I apologize to my coaches, my teammates and everybody for everything that went wrong. It's behind me. I'm moving forward from it. I learned from it. I just want to play football."
When pressed to give details about his two arrests this summer, Morrison declined. He also said he did not feel he needed to tell his side of the story
"I ain't setting no story straight," he said. "I'm coming to talk to y'all to tell you how sorry I am and how I take responsibility for everything that happened."
Morrison said he requested the opportunity to meet with the media.
"Yeah, that's me," he said. "I'm not (going) to run from you all. I'm not going to (talk about) this weeks down (the road), the Kentucky game and you all still asking about this. I want this to be done with.
"I'm coming and telling you all right now, any of you interview me after this, I don't want to talk about it. I already discussed this with you all. It's football from here on out. We're talking football."
Morrison was arrested June 16 for allegedly striking a bouncer outside a downtown club. A few weeks later, he was offered and accepted a deferred prosecution agreement with the State Attorney's Office.
He was arrested a second time July 20 for barking at a police dog. Before that charge was dropped a few days later, UF coach Will Muschamp suspended Morrison for the first two games of the season.
Muschamp reduced the suspension to one game (Saturday's opener against Toledo) on Monday. Muschamp said Morrison has faced additional punishment over the past month, including being held out of the first week of camp.
Morrison would not reveal his punishment beyond the suspension.
"I ain't going to get into detail of what I did," he said. "But the whole situation, overall, that sent a message to me, and I learned from the whole situation overall and I apologize again. I'm very sorry to all the Gator fans, my coaches, my teammates. That's me. That's not me being forced to do this. I wanted to come do this. I can't run from it, you know what I'm saying?"
Morrison said it hurts to miss a game and he feels he's letting down his teammates.
"Of course, man," Morrison said. "Me not being out there, my teammates were let down. At the same time, they support me. They've got my back. We've got guys, multiple guys that can play (linebacker). So, it ain't no big drop-off.
"I just learned. I've just learned to be a better person from it. I'm still the same person. I haven't changed. I just learned a lot from the situation on how to deal with things and how to handle things."
Morrison was asked if his experiences will lead him to make possible lifestyle changes, such as staying away from downtown late at night or early in the morning.
"I take responsibility for being out," he said. "I said that. I'm really sorry for that. I take responsibility for the whole situation."
Morrison said he is not concerned about others passing judgment on him.
"That's them. That's their opinion," he said. "Everybody's got their own opinion, you know what I'm saying? I can't change anyone's opinion. Your opinion may be different from his opinion."
Morrison said his main focus now is playing football, starting with the Miami game next week.
"It's football, man," he said. "That's all it is. It's football."

By Alistair Barr
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Visa Inc has no plans to implement a "digital wallet" fee at this point, Jim McCarthy, global head of product at the payment network, said on Thursday.
The comment came amid concern Visa might follow MasterCard Inc's recent move to impose a new fee on operators of digital wallets, such as PayPal, owned by eBay Inc.
During a Barclays investor conference on Wednesday Visa Chief Executive Charlie Scharf said that the payment network's relationship with digital wallet operators is changing as they move more into physical stores.
A Visa spokesman said on Thursday that Scharf's comments were about evolving relationships with payment industry participants, rather than the potential for a specific new fee from the company.
Digital wallets are electronic versions of real wallets that store card and bank information and can be used to buy things online quickly and anonymously. These digital wallets are increasingly moving into the physical world, through consumers' use of smartphones while shopping in retail stores.
As a payment option in physical stores, PayPal will be a bigger threat to networks like MasterCard, Visa and American Express, analysts say.
"PayPal has a great relationship with the card networks and we are in fact one of their largest customers," a PayPal spokesman said on Thursday. "We continue to work closely with both Visa and MasterCard as the market evolves and technology changes how consumers shop."
EBay shares rose 0.9 percent to $52.88 in afternoon trading on Thursday, even as the Nasdaq Composite index fell 0.9 percent.
Still, PayPal could end up paying an extra fee to Visa, if the payment network changes its mind later, according to Gil Luria, an analyst at Wedbush Securities.
"If MasterCard is successful at implementing the fee, Visa will join them," Luria said. "All they said today is that they are not doing it yet."

Experienced depth will be the biggest asset the Lady Lions carry into the 2012 season.
Team: Lansing girls' tennis
Last year's record: Team record was 47-96.
Coach: Ed Fenton
Key returners:
Cheyenne English, senior; singles, 7-18 last year
Alanda Kohl, senior; doubles, 11-14 in 2011
Valyssa Layton, senior; doubles, 8-17 last season
Newcomers to watch:
Katie Rathjen, freshman; singles
Team Outlook: STRENGTHS — Experienced depth will be the biggest asset the Lady Lions carry into the 2012 season.
From last year's squad, 11 players return with six of those being seniors. Needless to say, these players no what to expect heading into varsity competition.
WEAKNESSES — While high school experience is evident, the Lansing team still lacks the club playing background that many of its competitors possess according to Fenton.
Throw in the lack of practice area — the team has only two courts to prepare on — getting everyone the needed amount of reps becomes an obstacle.
In order to combat those problems, the team will need to take advantage of every set possible both at practice and in competitions.
Big games: Baldwin Invitational, Sept. 12; Mill Valley Invite, Sept. 15; Wildcat Invitational in DeSoto, Sept. 22; Topeka West Invite, Sept. 29; Regional tournament, Oct. 6
Coach says: "We have a nice group of returning players with six having experience playing varsity tennis last season. Based on our work this summer, I'm expecting to have 8-10 girls competing for the six varsity spots. As a team, we have the goals of improving on our overall win/loss record, increasing the medal count at tournaments, and qualifying a singles player or doubles team for state this year."

Virginia Tech's previous NCAA tournament snubs were debatable. Sunday's was outrageous.
UAB and Clemson instead of the Hokies? Please.
The 10 selection committee members are supposed to know basketball. They're athletic directors and conference commissioners, and some are former players and coaches.
But collectively this bunch, chaired by Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith, he of the brewing football scandal, brain-cramped when bypassing Tech for the expanded, 68-team field.
"Robbed, no excuse," ESPN analyst and former Duke forward Jay Bilas texted me.
"You almost wonder if someone in that room doesn't have an agenda, and that agenda doesn't include Virginia Tech," Hokies coach Seth Greenberg told reporters in Blacksburg after a fourth consecutive Selection Sunday dagger.
Yes, you wonder.
Go ahead, call me a homer and/or Greenberg groupie. Go ahead, mention the Hokies' unsightly losses to Virginia (two) and Georgia Tech.
I saw those games, but I also saw Tech beat Duke, sweep Florida State and trade haymakers in an overtime loss to Purdue.
Granted, the Hokies (21-11) lost their only encounter with Clemson 69-60, on the road in the regular-season finale. But the Tigers have zero wins against teams among the Rating Percentage Index's top 50, which if not a first for an at-large selection, is rare, indeed.
Clemson's other pertinent numbers: 9-8 versus the top 100, 15-11 against the top 200, a No. 195 non-conference strength of schedule -- this according to CollegeRPI.com.
Virginia Tech's: 2-5 against the top 50 (Duke and Big Ten tournament finalist Penn State), 8-8 versus the top 100, 13-11 against the top 200 with a non-league schedule rating of 152.
Please don't misunderstand. Clemson belongs in the field, its 49-47 eyesore of a loss at Virginia notwithstanding. The Tigers showed themselves NCAA-caliber in Saturday's ACC tournament semifinal against North Carolina, a game they led throughout before losing in overtime.
But Clemson (21-11) instead of Virginia Tech doesn't compute.
No matter committee rules that prohibit members from voting on teams they're affiliated with, Wake Forest athletic director Ron Wellman should have made sure his fellow panelists didn't make that mistake.
The biggest mistake is Conference USA regular-season champion UAB, which faces Clemson in an opening-round game.
The Blazers' sole top-50 victory is over No. 49 VCU. They lost at Duke by 21. Their non-conference schedule is rated lower than Virginia Tech's.
Had UAB (22-8) performed well in Conference USA's tournament, perhaps you could make the case. But the Blazers lost to East Carolina in the quarterfinals.
Meanwhile, Virginia Tech acquitted itself well at the ACC tournament, dusting Georgia Tech and defeating Florida State before running out of gas against Duke in Saturday's semifinals.
It was the polar opposite of last season, when the Hokies lost to last-place Miami in the conference quarters, giving the selection committee further reason, along with a weak non-conference schedule, to bypass them.
Some Virginia Tech faithful may question VCU's inclusion, which gives the Colonial Athletic Association three teams in the field for the first time. But that would be unfair to the Rams (23-11) and the CAA.
VCU has three top-50 victories, and none was at home. The Rams won at Old Dominion, beat UCLA at Madison Square Garden and defeated CAA regular-season champion George Mason in the conference tournament semis.
Bracket forecasts have become a cottage industry, and The Bracket Project surveyed 88 projections. Virginia Tech made the field in 83, the most of any team snubbed.
So if we're crazy, Bilas and I have beaucoup company in the rubber room.
Here's another telling measure of teams' worthiness: wins over the NCAA field.
VCU has four, the three cited above and Southern Conference champion Wofford.
Virginia Tech has four. Duke, Penn State and the Florida State sweep.
Clemson has two. Florida State and Wofford.
UAB has one. VCU.
As the clock approached midnight Friday, and as Virginia Tech reflected on its wild, 52-51, review-the-final-shot victory over Florida State, I asked Hokies senior Malcolm Delaney what it would be like to finally have a happy Selection Sunday.
Delaney, a two-time All-ACC guard and the school's third-leading career scorer, cut me off like Carl Edwards would Jimmie Johnson in Turn 3.
"I don't believe it," he said.
Alas, he was right.

Rams Defeat St. Joe's to Capture Skyline Championship
Farmingdale State - 11, St. Joseph's - 2 BOXSCORE
Farmingdale, N.Y. - The Farmingdale State baseball team captured the Skyline Conference Championship by defeating St. Joseph's College, 11-2, this afternoon in Farmingdale, N.Y. The Rams won all three playoff games to earn their second consecutive Skyline Conference title.
Tournament Most Valuable Player Frank Yera (New York, N.Y./Grand Street Campus) scored on a Brian Benvenuto (Dix Hills, N.Y./Hills West) groundout in the bottom of the first, giving Farmingdale an early 1-0 advantage. St. Joseph's would tie the game in the 7th on a Mike Gerdes (Wantagh, N.Y./MacArthur) single to right field. Dennis Nover (Fresh Meadows, N.Y./St. Francis Prep.) scored an unearned run on a throwing error by the Rams, giving the Golden Eagles a 2-1 lead. The Rams would respond by scoring 10 runs in the bottom of the 7th on eight hits to put the game out of reach. Junior Billy Garofalo (Patchogue, N.Y./Patchogue-Medford) pitched a scoreless 9th inning to seal the win for Farmingdale State.
Yera led the Rams going 3-for-4 at the plate with two runs batted in and two runs scored. Yera finished the tournament with 10 hits in 13 at bats, seven RBI and seven runs scored to earn MVP honors. Benvenuto and junior designated hitter Mike Labrozzi (Sag Harbor, N.Y./Pierson) each had two hits, one RBI and one run scored. Senior third baseman Steve King (Freeport, N.Y./Freeport) went 2-for-4, scoring two runs, while senior second baseman Rich Gili (Manorville, N.Y./Shoreham-Wading River) had a hit, two RBI and two runs scored for Farmingdale. Senior pitcher Tom Heeman (Vally Stream, N.Y./Hewlett) pitched 6.1 innings, allowing only 4 hits and no earned runs for the Rams. Freshman Chris Phelan (Patchogue, N.Y./Patchogue-Medford) earned the win, pitching 1.2 scoreless innings in relief.
St. Joseph's was led by junior outfielder Ryan Carroll (Patchogue, N.Y./Patchogue-Medford) and sophomore outfielder Mike Lanza (Northport, N.Y./Northport) who each had two hits in the game.
Farmingdale will host the NCAA Division III Regionals beginning on Wednesday, May 13th. The bracket will be announced Monday morning on the NCAA website (www.ncaa.com).

Back in August, Bodog — one of the world's largest online gambling companies and owner of the BodogFights series — was ordered to pay $49 million in damages and forfeit its domain name after failing to respond to claims that their downloadable software infringes on a patent held by 1st Technology LLC. (I know, pretty boring so far.) Bodog CEO Calvin Ayre called the suit an "extortion attempt," partly due to the fact that he isn't able to personally respond to the charges in Las Vegas. (Bodog is based in Antigua, and the U.S. Department of Justice has a habit of arresting online gambling executives; 1st Technology may be counting on Ayre to settle out of court rather than risk arrest by traveling to Nevada. I know, still kind of boring.)
Anyway, it was reported today that Ayre has challenged 1st Technology CEO Scott Lewis to a three-round BodogFight rules MMA bout, with Ayre offering $1 million in prize money to get Lewis in the ring. If you're wondering what kind of man would respond to a lawsuit by challenging the plaintiff to a fight, or if you're wondering whether Ayre deserves to lose $49 million over a simple patent infringement claim that's yet to be proven, the answer to both questions can be answered by this picture of Calvin Ayre:
[hint: a jerkoff, and yes]
What's really troublesome about Calvin's sad publicity stunt is that Scott Lewis would have to defeat Ayre 49 times to collect the total judgment. It should also be mentioned that one of the features currently on Bodog's new site is Bif Naked Bride, an "8-Webisode Bodog TV Exclusive" that follows the pop-punk artist Bif Naked — remember that song "Moment of Weakness" from like 1998? No? — as she gets married to some dork. Wow. It's not exactly subject matter I would normally associate with poker, or MMA, or the Internet for that matter. But if this is what it takes to get tattooed 30-something lesbians interested in gambling, maybe Calvin Ayre is smarter than we think. You don't see George Maloof going after that market!

Beaumont/Port Arthur
Allow me to preface this with a warning: This band is not for the faint of heart. Stunt Cock is based out of Austin,Texas and play a crushing blend of metal, hardcore, and straight up rock on their eponymous debut. The guitars come out chugging hard on the track "Wishes and Fairy tales", but throw a curveball with the almost too metal for metal guitar solos. On "Lou", the band go almost rockabilly with a raspy and rapid delivery nobody, including I, saw coming.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

(CNN) -- Major League Baseball is set to suspend some 20 players in the coming weeks due to a scandal involving performance-enhancing drugs, according to an ESPN report.The network says it is potentially the worst drug abuse case in the history of baseball.The league declined to comment to CNN, but confirmed that an investigation is in the works.Baseball's highest-paid player, New York Yankee Alex "A-Rod" Rodriguez, as well as Ryan Braun of the Milwaukee Brewers are among those facing suspension, ESPN said, citing unnamed sources.
About Braun, he tested positive last year. He attacked an innocent man and claimed sample tampering and skated on a bull**** technicality. MLB is out to nail him this time.
I actually do hope Miguel Cabrera and Chris Davis met once a week to inject each other with steroids.
Quote from: Dressel Rebel on June 6, 2013, 08:38 PMI actually do hope Miguel Cabrera and Chris Davis met once a week to inject each other with steroids.With Paul Goldschmidt as their dealer no doubt.
Which is great. Because if your offense weren't such a huge pain in my ass, my lead would probably be 20 instead of 10, and this thing would be about over already.
Surely I don't have any pitchers on roids.
And no appeal. Guilty as hell.

"Phantom Instinct" (Dutton), by Meg Gardiner
Meg Gardiner's latest thriller, "Phantom Instinct," begins with a shootout at the club where Harper Flynn works. Harper's boyfriend is killed, a police officer is severely wounded, the bar burns to the ground and leaves no evidence of how the gunmen entered the highly secure building.
The official report claims the two gunmen who attacked the bar were killed in the fire. But both Harper and the injured cop swear there's a third killer, and they work together to prove his existence. And we're off! "Phantom Instinct" is simply a fantastic story, told at breakneck speed. Gardiner is one of the best thriller writers around, and this is arguably her best work yet.
"Phantom Instinct" is full of action and surprises and a few new twists and quirks. For example, the cop, Aiden, has Fregoli syndrome as a result of his injuries. It's a brain disorder that causes the sufferer to believe that different people are actually the same person in disguise. You can imagine how this might affect his police work. Harper herself has a complicated past, and it appears to not be a coincidence that she was working on the night of the attack. But to say more would ruin the first of many reveals.
There's a scene about midway through in which Harper teaches her late boyfriend's sister how to do a handbrake turn. It's ostensibly a character-building scene, one that allows both characters to blow off steam and have some fun, and it's written with such exuberance that it's easy to forget the menace underneath that threatens both women, and moreover to not think about how this scene is going to fit in with the rest of the narrative. By the end of the chapter, the menace is back, and the scene assuredly serves a clear purpose. This scene, however, is just one of the many reasons Gardiner's latest stand-alone is one of this summer's best reads.

2nd charge in case of man killed at Amherst mailboxBy KATHRYN MARCHOCKI
New Hampshire Union Leader
May 04. 2014 10:21PM
Mont Vernon motorist Travis Hobbs told police he thought he hit a snowbank when he allegedly drove off after fatally injuring an Amherst man, but the state says Hobbs knew or should have known he hurt someone — and left anyway.
Hobbs, who turns 21 on Thursday, faces an additional felony charge of failing to immediately stop his vehicle after the collision that led to the death of former Amherst Fire Chief John Bachman, 71, two days before Christmas.
A Hillsborough County grand jury has handed up two indictments against Hobbs, charging him with conduct after an accident in addition to negligent homicide. Both Class B felonies carry maximum penalties of seven years in prison and $4,000 in fines.
Hobbs allegedly was using his cell phone when he drove west past Bachman's 100 Merrimack Road home, striking Bachman as he was getting his mail from his mailbox.
Bachman's wife, Marilyn, found her husband lying in a snowbank at the end of their driveway. Bachman was rushed to Southern New Hampshire Medical Center in Nashua, where he died from multiple blunt-impact injuries.
Hobbs, who lives with his parents at 110 Brook Road, Mont Vernon, turned himself in to police the next day. He was released on $50,000 personal recognizance bail at his initial hearing on Dec. 24 in Nashua and ordered to continue living with his parents.
In charging Hobbs with conduct after an accident, the state maintains Hobbs "knowingly" failed to immediately stop his vehicle and identify himself when he knew or should have known he had just been involved in a personal injury collision.
The negligent homicide indictment alleges Hobbs hit Bachman because he was using his cell phone and not paying proper attention to the road while driving his vehicle.
The grand jury handed up the indictments April 17.

22w, 0d. Apologies to Adam Mansbach, the author of the supremely awesome Go the F*ck to Sleep. His original version is obviously much funnier, and, um, original. Needless to say, this is my life in the wee hours right now, five months pregnant and with a toddler unexpectedly back in our bed…
After three years, you started hating your crib,
But now your new toddler bed is assembled and ready.
So please go the f*ck to sleep.
Your bed has been moved to your big brother's room,
Where he complains you make more than a peep.
You shouldn't be scared with a protector like him.
So hush, and get the f*ck to sleep.
Creeping downstairs in the middle of the night
Into mommy and daddy's bed you sneak.
Slamming the door in your wake and needing help to get up
Fine, you're here; just go the f*ck to sleep.
Our bed is too small for three people, we say.
You lie on mommy's head and kick daddy in his <BLEEP>
Now we're awake and annoyed while you squirm and talk
It's 2:30 a.m. Get the f*ck back to sleep.
"Mommy's pregnant," I sweetly remind you.
From my bizarre dreams you should not me keep.
Lest I turn into Crazy Pregnant Lady tomorrow
And just scream "GO THE F*CK TO SLEEP!"
Now we're months into this crazy routine.
You start in your brother's room and then creep
Into our bed EVERY night with a plaintive, "I'm scared!"
OK, I give up! Just shut the f*ck up and sleep.
Naps, too, are now spent by my side, in my bed.
With your baby sister kicking in my belly in tandem with your knee
Which is pressing against my bladder from the other side.
I cry, beg and plead, "Both of you, please go to sleep!"
Thankfully you're mostly potty-trained, while pregnancy
Has undone that in Mommy. So, if, in bed, there's a leak
Be forewarned that I might just blame it on you
Since you're conveniently here and just three and... wow, actually asleep.
"Surely this will get better," we say.
But the months, oh how they do creep.
I suspect that in January we'll have four of us in this bed,
With baby crying and Mommy sobbing, NO ONE will get any sleep.
Well, hopefully your big brother will get some rest alone in his bed, at least...
Did you find yourself co-sleeping with a child while pregnant, accidentally or intentionally? Were you ever able to sleep well during pregnancy? Leave a comment (but, um, please nothing mean about my lack of poetry skills).

DAKAR, Senegal (AP) — Ibrahim Balde knew his place. He was the newest member of the construction crew, expected to do the hardest tasks for the lowest pay. So when he showed up for work on Friday morning, he went to take his place on the ground floor, at the bottom of the pulley used to yank buckets of cement up the four stories of the apartment complex they were building.
He was surprised and touched when his fellow crew member decided to give 20-year-old Balde a break, telling him to go to the top of the building and unload the buckets of cement, a far lighter and less-tiring task. It was that act of kindness that saved Balde: On the fourth floor when the building began to shake, Balde first fell with the structure, then regained his footing and succeeded in leaping off. The building crumpled beneath him, killing two members of the construction crew, including the young man who had traded places with him earlier.
It's the latest loss of life due to a building collapse in this part of Africa, where regulation is lax and officials are easily bribed. Last November, a housing goods store crumbled in Ghana, killing at least 17.
The four-story building was only permitted to be half as tall, said Omar Samb Gueye, the local chief in the Ouakam neighborhood, a former fishing village which has become part of Dakar's urban sprawl. He confirmed that two people were killed when the building fell between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. on Friday. Gueye blamed badly-executed and hasty construction for the tragedy.
"It's due to a defect in the way the building was constructed," he said. "There's no cement. Look," he said pointing to the rubble, which appeared to consist mostly of cinderblocks, a sand-like filling and metal wiring. "I'm not a mason, but even I can tell that it's bad construction."
Balde was hired a month ago and agreed to work for $4 a day doing whatever the foreman asked. He was brought on after his friend, the foreman's son, put in a good word for him. And for the first month — up until Friday — his job had consisted almost exclusively of hauling bags of cement to the mouth of the large bucket. Then filling the bucket, and then yanking the pulley until the bucket ascended, a job that he said left his arms tingling by the end of the day and the palms of his hands as hard as wood.
"I was at the top of the building. On the fourth floor ... I felt it fall away under me, and I went with it. Like I was sitting down. But then I was able to stand back up, and I jumped as hard as I could. I landed on my back, hitting my shoulder. A brick hit my head. I got up and ran," Balde explained. "When I looked back, the building was gone. I knew there was nothing I could do for Hassane," he said, naming his friend, whose crushed body was pulled out by firefighters later Friday.
In fact, it's possible that his friend was alive for at least one to two more hours. Moustapha Kane, a mason who was working at a construction site nearby, said that at around 11 a.m. one of the people trapped inside the building called a relative on his cellphone. He said that he and another man were stuck near the staircase, hemmed in by the debris. He begged for help.

DENHAM SPRINGS, La. (AP) — An oil tank has exploded in Louisiana in an area outside Baton Rouge, prompting the evacuation of 30 to 35 homes.
The explosion happened late Thursday night near Denham Springs. No injuries had been reported early Friday.
Louisiana Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness director Mark Harrell told The Times-Picayune (http://bit.ly/12uUH9T) there were two oil holding tanks at the scene and one of them ruptured and caught fire. He said it wasn't known why the tank ruptured. The second oil tank had not exploded but was bulging from the heat.
Harrell said the fire has been contained in a 200-square-foot area.
Harrell says evacuated residents will be allowed back in their homes once the fire is out.

A week after taking over a longtime publisher of Hollywood scripts, HarperCollins Publishers has announced plans to acquire a top producer of Christian works.
HarperCollins announced Monday that it had "entered into a definitive agreement" with Thomas Nelson Inc., a 200-year-old publisher currently based in Nashville. Thomas Nelson has released numerous editions of the Bible and published the current top seller "Heaven is for Real," by Todd Burpo.
Harper, part of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., already runs another leading religious publisher, Zondervan.
Last week, Harper announced it had purchased much of the catalog of Newmarket Press, which has released the scripts of "The King's Speech," "Juno" and many other films in book form.

HONOLULU – Residents in a rural, isolated region of Hawaii's Big Island still reeling from a recent tropical storm turned their attention to a potential new disaster Thursday as scientists warned that a lava flow from a nearby volcano had moved to within a mile of some homes.
The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said lava from the Kilauea volcano could reach the Kaohe Homesteads in five to seven days if it continues its steady advance through cracks in the earth.
The sparsely populated subdivision is part of the Puna region, where Tropical Storm Iselle made landfall about a month ago, toppling trees onto homes and wiping out electricity.
Observatory scientists said the lava has been advancing about 800 feet per day since July 10. They've been closely monitoring the flow and on Thursday raised the alert level from "watch" to "warning."
However, the observatory said predicting a flow's exact path can be difficult because of subtle variations in topography, changes in lava volume and where and how lava enters or exits ground cracks.
Hawaii County Civil Defense Administrator Darryl Oliveira said the agency has not yet ordered an evacuation but will do so when it's clear the lava is at least five days from impacting homes.
"It's very frustrating because even if we look at a five-day period and we tell people to evacuate, it could be weeks before anything happens," Oliveira said.
Mayor Billy Kenoi is declaring an emergency, which will allow authorities to restrict access to roadways so Kaohe Homesteads residents can leave safely if an evacuation becomes necessary.
Officials said exactly how many people live in the subdivision made up of large, mostly agricultural lots is unclear, and county workers have been going door-to-door to conduct counts. Oliveira said his staff members so far have identified 20 to 30 households.
The county is asking all of Puna to be on alert because it's possible the lava could change direction and threaten other communities, he said. It also is advising people to stay away from the Kaohe Homesteads.
When scientists first warned the public about the flow two weeks ago, people wanting a glimpse of the lava began taking helicopter tours over Kaohe and increasing traffic in the community, Oliveira said. He stressed that lava can't be seen from the subdivision.
The Kilauea volcano has been continuously erupting since 1983, but new vents — or points where lava reaches the surface — have opened periodically. Lava from the volcano normally doesn't approach homes, but it did wipe out neighborhoods in 1990.
People continue to live in the area in part because of affordable land and a rural life that feels a world away from Honolulu's big city bustle. "People want to live where they find a place that appeals to them," Oliveira said, "while accepting and understanding we live within these hazards."
The last time an evacuation was ordered was in 2011, recalled Oliveira, who was fire chief at the time. He said the lava destroyed one home before changing course and sparing others.
Most of the lava flows from Kilauea's east rift zone have pushed south, but this recent flow is moving northeast, which is unusual but not unprecedented, according to the observatory.
Jim Kauahikaua, the observatory's scientist-in-charge, has said the current flow is being channeled by two previous flows, which makes it move faster.

Ruben Flores and Maria Llanos are looking for an electric vehicle.
While the couple is sold on the idea of a vehicle with a smaller carbon footprint, there are two main reasons they haven't purchased yet: they want to wait until they own a home so they can install a charging station, and Flores and Llanos have some concerns about how far they can drive with the car.
Flores works in Bristol, Llanos in New Haven and they live in Middletown.
The state will partner with public and private organizations to build Class 2 charging stations across the state, contributing $2,000 to the estimated $4,000 to $6,000 cost of construction for each charging station. Class 2 stations supply 240 volts of power, which recharge EVs in a shorter period of time than a standard house current. The time is takes to fully charge the batteries depends on the model of car.
"By the end of this year we will be able to say that Connecticut is electric vehicle friendly across the state," Esty said. "You'll always be within ten or fifteen minutes of a charging station."
Flores and llanos liked the idea of the state's new program.
On Tuesday, the couple attended an EVConnecticut Electric Vehicle Expo at Middlesex Community College in Middletown to see the latest options. They like the Honda Fit, but said there are very few available.
Fiat, Ford, Honda, Mitsubishi, Nissan and Tesla, are among the manufacturers of EVs sold in the United States. Unlike a hybrid vehicle, which has a gas engine, an EV have only battery-powered electric motors.
As of Tuesday, there were 298 EVs registered in the state, according to the Department of Motor Vehicles, more than triple the 98 registered in September 2012.
The cost to power an EV in the state is less than half the price of gas, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, with an EV costing $1.70 in Connecticut to cover the same distance as the average car would cover with a gallon of gas.
Lease prices for EVs start at $199 per month. The Federal government offers a $7,500 income tax credit in the year of purchase to EV buyers. Retailers get that tax credit for leased EVs, but may pass some or all of it on to customers. There is currently no state incentive for EV buyers.
While no partners for the charging station program have yet been identified, the state is "expecting a strong response," DEEP spokesman Dennis Schain said.
UI has piloted 15 charging stations and 2 residential units across the company's territory, Megan Pomeroy, of United Illuminating said, with a few more being added this year.
The company is asking EV owners who use UI charging stations in New Haven, Fairfield and Bridgeport to share data, including what types of cars their driving, how long their cars need to charge, what time of day their charging them and how often, in order to gauge the habits of an EV drivers.
"UI is committed to developing the necessary infrastructure and grid reliability to support future widespread use of plug-in vehicles," Pomeroy said.

Cows aren't "wild and scenic'
For the second time in six months, a federal judge has slammed grazing on public lands. Last year, U.S. District Court Judge Ancer Haggerty ruled that grazing was a "non-point source" of pollution, forcing Oregon cattlemen to comply with the federal Clean Water Act (HCN, 10/28/96).
Now, he's ordered cattle off parts of southeastern Oregon's Donner und Blitzen River. The ruling came after a coalition of environmental groups sued the Bureau of Land Management for failing to adequately protect and enhance nearly 75 miles of the river designated wild and scenic under federal law.
Haggerty's decision prohibits grazing along 40 miles of the river until the BLM produces a new management plan and environmental study assessing the effects of grazing on riparian areas, said attorney Peter Frost of the National Wildlife Federation. That process could take years, he said.
BLM officials say the judge overlooked their recent efforts to control grazing along the Donner und Blitzen. "We shortened the season of use on the stream and lowered the cattle numbers," said Jim Buchanan, a range manager for the BLM Burns District. "We've done some fencing. All of that wasn't taken into account."
The ruling could become a wake-up call to any federal agency that administers a designated wild and scenic river, attorney Frost said. There are 47 such rivers in Oregon, and environmentalists may push to apply the grazing restriction to wild and scenic waterways in other states, he said. And if the BLM appeals and the case ends up in a higher court, Frost added, the final decision could apply across the West.

I lived for about 3 months at the base of Black Mesa. An awe inspiring mountain, sacred to the Native American's.
Life is getting simpler for me these days. I just want to truly appreciate and love everything that is good in this world. The other prime motivator for me is the urge to play -art, music, interacting with others. I want to bring joy into everything I do. In my paintings, I'm a story teller now -using paint instead of words to tell my stories. There are so many thoughts and emotions that start to pour through me when I begin a new painting. The painting tells me its title as I work on it. I do my best work when intuition is my guiding force. The wisdom of the Native Americans has mixed with Eastern philosophy and shows itself in my animal paintings. Water, the greatest magnet in the outer world for me, serves as...

Herbal Ball SteamerMost appropriate steamer we have found for the herbal balls. Provides good steam while allowing for excellent temperature control. The herbal ball treatment traditionally is a hot treatment. The Sabai Ball is pressed along the Sen Sib lines, or acupressure zones of the body in a series of motions that include: a "rock 'n roll," or back and forth motion; a "rolling" or orbital circular motion; and a "dragging" motion which is used to increase blood flow and lymphatic drainage. The Sabai Ball is used in combination with traditional Thai or Swedish massage or as a tool to work on a specific part of the body that needs special attention for muscular tightness or pain.Herbal Ball Steamer Only.
I really appreciate the deep basket so my herbal compresses can sit upright. It makes it easier and safer to reach them without getting scorched with the steam. I do wish there was an externally attached lid holder to free up my hands for better safety.

By Valerie Volcovici
MONTREAL (Reuters) - The United States supports a proposed market-based system to curb carbon emissions from the global aviation sector starting in 2020, but warned that concerns over measures to lower emissions in the interim threaten to undercut the broadly supported goal, a U.S. official said.
Negotiators from over 190 countries gathered at the United Nations' International Civil Aviation Organization's triennial assembly in Montreal went over details from a proposal to curb greenhouse emissions from the aviation industry as agreed by ICAO's 36-member governing council earlier this month.
Many countries have expressed support for a global market-based measure to reduce airline emissions, the details of which would be decided in 2016 for a proposed 2020 launch.
As a result, aviation could become the first major industry sector to launch a global market system to curb carbon emissions.
Country representatives said on Thursday they are wary of a section of the plan that addresses how interim national and regional measures that charge foreign air carriers for their emissions would operate until 2020.
The United States' delegation supports countries and regions that want to have interim regulations in place before a global mechanism is created, but only if they limit measures to their respective airspace, the U.S. official said.
It is concerned, however, that the proposed resolution would exempt a large number of countries from complying with those interim measures. Under the current wording, around 160 of 191 ICAO states would be exempt.
"Throughout this process, the U.S. government and the U.S. airline industry have strongly supported ICAO efforts to develop a global market-based measure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. That position has not changed," a U.S. official told Reuters ahead of Thursday's discussions.
"While we support the concept of de minimis exemptions, the current approach raises serious concerns for the United States."
Julie Oettinger, the lead U.S. negotiator and assistant administrator of the Federal Aviation Authority, said in remarks to the assembly on Thursday that exemptions should be granted to airline operators rather than states.
"A single operator may have very high relative levels of activity, while the same may not be true for its state of registry," she said, adding that such an approach would avoid market distortions, an ICAO requirement.
Poorer countries, however, have required an exemption from any interim measures in exchange for supporting the resolution, said Englebert Zoa Etundi, Cameroon's representative to ICAO, who represents the African bloc of negotiators.
The measure would protect African air passengers and its burgeoning airline industry and the bloc supports the proposal as it is currently worded, he said.
Other representatives of developing countries agreed that the resolution should protect the "special circumstances" of poorer states in remarks before the assembly on Thursday.
India's negotiator said at the assembly that the resolution should not allow countries or regions to impose their own market systems before a global market mechanism is developed.
Deleting the provision would avoid a "Pandora's box of considerations" and avoid a barrage of potential retaliatory measures, he added.
The European Union, currently the only region that has a market-based system to charge fees on emissions that would apply to foreign air carriers, said any changes to the current proposal could unravel, "a very delicate balance that has the support of the majority of ICAO."
Arijandas Sliupas, Lithuania's deputy transport minister, said on behalf of the European Union's 44 member states that, although the agreement is "not perfect, if forms the single package we have all been looking for."
From the aviation industry's perspective, allowing exemptions, even on interim measures, could set a worrying precedent.
"If such a large set of countries can get a blanket exception on market-based measures, we are concerned that this could be a slippery slope to requests for exemption on other taxes and charges, and even safety and/or security measures," said Nancy Young, vice president for environmental affairs for Airlines for America, the U.S. airlines' lobby group.
Some industry representatives are also concerned that, if so many countries are exempt now, they will seek to protect their exemptions if a global scheme starts up in 2020.
Environmental groups said there is wide support for a global deal after years of tough negotiations and warned that concerns over just a few provisions should not stop wider progress.
Annie Petsonk, international counsel for the Environmental Defense Fund, said the goal is to launch the global emissions cap process and deliver it by 2016.
"We are at a crucial moment in the history of ICAO's efforts to tackle the climate issue. The credibility of this institution and of the governments who lead it - including the U.S. and the EU - is on the line," Petsonk added.

BRUSSELS (AP) — The first of six Patriot missile batteries being deployed to Turkey to protect against attack from Syria was declared operational and placed under NATO command, the international organization said Saturday.
The battery, provided by the Netherlands, is meant to protect the city of Adana by shooting down missiles that could come over the Syrian border. Turkey has become a harsh critic of the regime in Syria, where a vicious civil war has left at least 60,000 people dead.
The United States, Germany and the Netherlands are providing two batteries each of the latest version of the U.S.-made Patriots. The other five Patriot batteries are expected to be in place and operational in the coming days in Adana, Kahramanmaras and Gaziantep.
"This is a clear demonstration of the agility and flexibility of NATO forces and of our willingness to defend Allies who face threats in an unstable world," Admiral James Stavridis, NATO's Supreme Allied Commander for Europe, said in a statement.
NATO reiterated Saturday that the Patriots are for defensive purposes only. Syria has not fired any of its surface-to-surface missiles at Turkey during its nearly two-year civil war and its government has described the NATO deployment as a provocation.
NATO also deployed Patriot batteries to Turkey during the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq 10 years ago. They were never used and were withdrawn a few months later.

When Cole Davis founded Keystone RV in 1996 his vision was clear: Build a quality RV loaded with features priced thousands less than other RVs on the market. To accomplish his goal, Cole would recruit and build a strong team, focus on keeping overhead low, and empower the people closest to the customer to make decisions.
Within a few short months after opening the doors, Keystone produced its very first camper. Delivering big on quality, features and value, the public fell in love with it. A star was born! As the appetite for the camper increased, new Keystone models were added to satisfy growing customer demand. Along with this tremendous growth came the need for expanded production. To meet this need more manufacturing plants were built and staffed.
From new floor plan designs to patented inventions, Keystone leads the way in product innovation. One reason is our mission to stay close to the customer. When talking with campers or visiting dealerships, our sales, product development, and service teams, are always looking for ways to improve the camping experience. And we don't stop there.
Every member of the Keystone family is encouraged to contribute to making our campers absolutely the best possible. Through something we call Kamp Keystone, our employees camp free of charge at local campgrounds in the Keystone trailers we supply. Each year hundreds of our production workers, administrative staff and service team enjoy a day (or a week) at Kamp Keystone. Their evaluation of the experience and the feedback they provide results in continued product improvements. Ask us if we use our RVs...the answer is YES!

New at SEMICON Japan: LED Area; Automotive Communication Technology Tokyo Partnership
The LED industry is experiencing rapid expansion and substantial investment by LED-related equipment and material suppliers globally. LED expansion and new facility projects are starting up over the world. The high-brightness LED (HB-LED) market will see more than 50 percent growth this year, to reach $8.2 billion in revenues, according to Strategies Unlimited. While backlights are the main driver, the second growth area is LEDs for general illumination. Even in the downturn of 2009, the SEMI Opto/LED fab databaserecorded seven new LED fabs coming online. And we expect to see at least five new Opto/LED fabs in 2010 and six more in 2011, respectively.

MOCVD equipment makers and substrate suppliers are gearing up for expansion this year to fulfill rising demand from LED makers. According to Justin Wang, general manager at Veeco, the market for LED chips has increased due to rising LED demand for TV and other lighting applications. He says that suppliers are speeding up capacity expansion but that metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) equipment supply is still tight. Wang noted that delivery lead times for MOCVD tools can be as long as six months. In addition to MOCVD equipment, shortages of sapphire substrates and chemicals have also constrained the supply of LED chips, Wang commented.
Since it was first held over 30 years ago, SEMICON Japan has changed, adding new exhibit areas and programs to suit the needs of the industry. The process of development continues this year with an important addition to the Next Generation Technology Pavilion and the announcement of a new partner event.
New LED Technology Area
In 2009, the Innovation Hall— an exhibit zone for MEMS, nanotechnology, organic semiconductors and other leading-edge technologies— was re-launched as the Next Generation Technology Pavilion with the addition of an area dedicated to nanoimprint technology. This year, the Pavilion continues to expand with a brand new exhibit area focused on LEDs and related technologies. Following the launch of LED-related exhibits at other SEMICON shows around the globe, this new addition aims to strengthen the service provided by SEMI to this important technology segment. The pavilion will also be home to exhibits on 3D packaging and anti-counterfeiting measures.
Partnering with Automotive Communication Technology Tokyo in 2010
This year, SEMICON Japan will share the Makuhari Messe venue with the 2nd Automotive Communication Technology Tokyo show. Automotive Communication Technology serves technology segments that are highly relevant to SEMICON Japan, its exhibitors and visitors, and it is hoped that exhibitors at both shows will benefit from increased visitor traffic. According to the Automotive Communication Technology Tokyo web site, "Automotive Telecommunication Technology Tokyo [focuses] on the technology and services that relate to the data communications inside vehicles ... and the wireless communications outside vehicles.... The [exposition] aims to create a great opportunity for all of those who relate to the new businesses brought by the progress in Automotive Telecommunication."
How to Apply for Exhibit Space at SEMICON Japan 2010
Booth applications are currently being accepted for SEMICON Japan 2010 on the web site at www.semiconjapan.org. Special rates are available for SEMI Members. Contact email@example.com for details.
