All eyes on Rays as Trade Deadline nears
ST. PETERSBURG -- Tampa Bay heads toward Thursday's 4 p.m. ET non-waiver Trade Deadline with one eye on the present and another on the future.
Thus, it's the conundrum the Rays face.
ST. PETERSBURG -- Tampa Bay heads toward Thursday's 4 p.m. ET non-waiver Trade Deadline with one eye on the present and another on the future.
Thus, it's the conundrum the Rays face.
In the present, David Price is the man. He's one of the best pitchers in baseball, a competitor, a good teammate and the leader of Tampa Bay's pitching staff.
Looking toward the future, Price is the chip that can be used to acquire younger players, who, ostensibly, can help the Rays contend in the coming years.
Currently, Tampa Bay is one of the hottest teams in baseball, and the club is perched to make a postseason run. Walking hand in hand with its recent success is an incredible body of work by Price, who believes he's pitching better than ever before in his career -- and that's a career that includes a 2012 American League Cy Young Award on his mantel.
Price's value may never be greater than today. So, can the Rays afford to hold onto their ace, at least until the end of the season? Or do they need to push the button to make a deal?
Thus, the question of whether Price will get traded continues to echo around Major League Baseball on a daily basis. And nobody but the guys behind closed doors in Tampa Bay's front office really knows what's going on, including Price's agent, Bo McKinnis.
"I really am [in the dark]," McKinnis said. "So many folks [in the media] have questioned David about it. And David doesn't have the information. He's not the one doing the trade. And likewise, in my chair, I have friends and relatives comment to me, 'I'll bet you're really busy with David's trade.' They totally miss the fact that legally, the Rays do not have to include us in the process."
Price will finish out this season making $14 million, and he will likely command through the arbitration process anywhere from $17 million to $22 million for his final contract before he can become a free agent (prior to the 2016 season). Given that situation, McKinnis could get involved in the event that an interested Price suitor wants to sign him to an extension before making the deal. Such a situation could be relevant this week, or it might come into play if Price remains with Tampa Bay until the end of the season.
McKinnis does have experience in such a negotiation for a big-name pitcher, when the team trading for the player wants to get an extension done prior to making the trade. R.A. Dickey is McKinnis' client, and they went through the process before a trade from the Mets to the Blue Jays after the 2012 season.
"R.A. and I knew what we wanted," McKinnis said. "R.A. was very confident about what he wanted. He had said from the beginning, 'My first choice is to stay with the Mets. If I can't do that, then I want to go to a club expected to win.' At that time, the Blue Jays looked like they were going to be the slam-dunk World Series club, coming off that Marlins trade, then doing this with R.A. He was most excited about that.
"In terms of comparing that to David, it certainly could play out that way with him if the Rays chose to give us permission to do [negotiate an extension prior to a trade getting done]. It would be a much more complex contract. R.A., at that time, was 38, and David is entering his prime-age years. So it certainly would be a lot more complex in that sense. It definitely could happen, depending on the club."
Rays principal owner Stu Sternberg and executive vice president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman have talked in the past about the perils of having a large percentage of the team's payroll being gobbled up by the contract of just one or two players. Given that line of thinking -- and the fact that Evan Longoria is basically tied up for life with his contract -- it's difficult to believe that Tampa Bay will keep Price. Whether a deal comes before the Trade Deadline or during the offseason remains to be seen.
If that is the case, which teams make the most sense? Many have speculated about where Price will be, but nobody really has a clue.
"Andrew and Stu definitely think differently than most folks in baseball," McKinnis said. "They could totally surprise us. We could end up on a team that hasn't even been speculated about."
And that includes teams within the Rays' division. Tampa Bay is forward-thinking enough to make such a deal happen if it makes sense.
"Whenever he pulls the trigger, no matter what team he makes the deal with, he has to ask the question: 'Does this make us a better team?'" McKinnis said. "And part of answering that, he has to analyze his opponents. So if David goes to the Yankees or Toronto, he gets X, Y and Z in return, 'Are we going to have a better chance of winning the East or not?' If the answer is yes, pull the trigger."
In the coming days, the conundrum will continue. And once the smoke clears, the Rays' intentions for the remainder of the season will become clearer, as will the future. Or will it?
One of the many opposing scouts visiting Tropicana Field to watch Tampa Bay's ace was asked, "Where's Price going?"
He smiled and replied: "To the Rays. They could do this again next year."

I've always said web geeks and coffee go together like Canada and beer. And at long last, I've gotten around to doing something I've been threatening for ages to those of you who know me: documenting my coffee roasting process. With photos!
I've been at it for years now, and can tell you quite a bit about what to expect. What you won't experience are the smells and sounds, and that's half the fun. Until there's Smell-o-Vision for the internet, Flickr will have to be our surrogate.
(A bit of a departure from what usually goes up around here, I know. But staying on-topic is so 2004.)

HRT for Breast Cancer Survivors
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
What is the current information regarding estrogen replacement therapy for former breast cancer patients? I am now in menopause and am affected [by it] both physically and emotionally. I was treated 12 years ago with radiation and chemotherapy for breast cancer with borderline estrogen receptor-positivity.
Kevin R. Fox, MD, Assistant Director, Clinical Affairs and Associate Professor of Hematology/Oncology at the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
Although hormonal replacement therapy is generally discouraged in breast cancer survivors, it should still be considered in patients whose menopausal symptoms warrant intervention. In other words, one should not rule out the use of HRT just based on a history of breast cancer alone, especially if the initial tumor was estrogen receptor-negative. If you are having both emotional and physical effects from menopause, then you might have significant improvement in quality of life from the use of HRT. This is an individual decision that you should make after discussing the potential risks and benefits you're your doctor(s). Simply stated, HRT is considered potentially dangerous in breast cancer survivors, but should not be withheld universally in this population.

Let's say you're working, raising your three kids, and sometimes bickering with your doctor-husband. You practice yoga, you run long-distance. You're even a lifelong subscriber to Prevention magazine.
You're turning 46 soon and feel ready to take a deep breath: Your oldest daughter is going off to college, you have a blossoming sophomore in high school as well as a maturing fourth grader.
And then you hear the words that will forever change your life: "Just to be safe, I think we should biopsy."
I have just finished reading brutally honest account of Gail Konop Baker's brush with breast cancer: Cancer is a Bitch: Or, I'd Rather Be Having a Midlife Crisis.
It's just out (Oct. 2008) and I have a disclaimer: Gail and I were fellow columnists at Literary Mama and I'd followed her Bare Breasted Mama column since its first post.
Her story couldn't be more ironic: In real life, Gail was busy writing her novel -- with a protagonist who happens to have been diagnosed with breast cancer -- when real life intervened. Gail was diagnosed with breast cancer, launching her into a yearlong struggle to combat and comprehend the turn her life has taken. Even more ironic, Gail's husband is a radiologist!
If you're expecting a downer, Cancer is a Bitch isn't it. Sometimes, I caught myself laughing. This is a cancer memoir. Why am I laughing? Because Gail is your everyday mom living in Wisconsin. She's just like me -- and you. She got hit hard by cancer and figured out how to keep her head high. It's a lesson anyone can use.
Moreover, Gail tells the truth without softening the edges. Gail's descriptions about her marriage are incredibly honest. (I have to ask Gail if her husband read the first draft and what he said).
Like this passage, soon after her diagnosis:
"And if I wanted to cheat on Mike, which I never have, but am so mad at him, I'm thinking I might want to now... who would want a woman who'd had cancer? And it occurs to me that my butchered breast down's bother him because it brands me: Undesirable Woman."
My single dad blogger friend, Depot Dad, was also diagnosed with cancer recently. He's also balancing work and parenting -- oh, and his health. I'm amazed at how he's holding it all together, too.
Have you ever had a scary health diagnosis? How did you balance it all?

I ran across this infinite product:
I easily found that it converges to 1/3. Using my calculator, I found that
Then, here is my question
This is what my calculator gave me. How did it arrive at this? That is, how could I do this by hand if I wanted to? I tried writing out some terms and even the (n+1)st term, made cancellations, but it did not work out. I feel rather obtuse. How does one find a closed form for a partial infinite product like this?
$$\frac23\cdot \frac56\cdot \frac9{10}\cdot\cdot\cdot \frac{(n-1)(n+2)}{n(n+1)}\cdot \frac{n(n+3)}{(n+1)(n+2)}$$
Making the cancellations leaves $\frac{(n-1)(n+3)}{(n+1)^2}$, not $\frac{n+2}{3n}=\frac2{3n}+\frac13$.
This is why it converges to 1/3. It is easy to see the limit. That is not my concern.
It is how does one arrive at the closed form of $\frac{n+2}{3n}$ for this 'finite' product?
I am overlooking something obvious. I just know it.
Thank you

Year in and year out — from coast to coast — we are reminded how dependent we have become on the underlying infrastructure that delivers the clean water, electricity, and communications we have come to take for granted. It's typically only when a hurricane, tornado, flood, ice storm, or earthquake suddenly knocks out our community's utility services that we truly realize the implications of losing access to these fundamental services. Emergency backup power generation must be at the heart of emergency planning as a key to safeguarding quality of life, including quick post-emergency recovery. This is true regardless of whether a community's electric utility services are damaged or completely lost due to a natural disaster or accident. In August of 2005, Hurricane Katrina delivered a brutal reminder to the City of Gretna, La., of just how critical it is to have a robust emergency backup power solution in place.
When Katrina hit the New Orleans region, Gretna experienced wind speeds in excess of 120 mph. As a result of the hurricane, the city saw its potable water plant, wastewater treatment plant, and network of 14 sewer lift stations go completely without electrical power, bringing down the entire system that operates and controls the potable water supply and sewer system serving more than 17,700 residents.
Due to area flooding, wind damage, and generator failures, 75% to 100% of the city's water and sewer system was down for more than four days. Working 16- to 20-hr days, the Public Utilities Division team managed to restore service after a very trying week and half. "The wastewater plant went down, and the master lift station generator failed — but we didn't find out about these failures until the storm had passed," recalled Mike Baudoin, director of public utilities for the City of Gretna.
"I know what it's like to experience a true catastrophe," noted Baudoin, whose own home was destroyed by the hurricane. "People can't come back to their homes unless we have city infrastructure up and running. In the hurricane's aftermath, both our wastewater plant generator and the 250kW generator for the master lift station were found to be under-sized and aged, requiring upgraded solutions."
Using a $1.8-million Mitigation Funding Block Grant that was approved by the State of Louisiana and FEMA, the City of Gretna contracted engineering firm Burk-Kleinpeter, Inc. (BKI) to upgrade and modernize the pump stations. This included designing a cost-effective emergency backup electrical power solution that could be easily managed by the four-person Public Utilities sewer collection department.
According to Bart Mullis, associate-electrical engineer for BKI, the fact that the City of Gretna is a small municipality with a modest budget necessitated design of an emergency backup power solution that could be easily connected without reliance on electricians.
"For wastewater facilities, backup generators serve the purpose of maintaining a safe flow of wastewater (sewage) not associated with flood control," explained Mullis. "In this case, because of the City of Gretna's limited resources and very small staff, we decided it would be best for our client to rely on quick-connect portable generators that eliminates the cost of permanently installed generators."
BKI's scope of deliverables for the City of Gretna encompassed significant improvements and upgrades to the electrical infrastructure for the wastewater treatment plant. An important part of the project included replacing one failed permanent generator and installing a second for redundant power at the two primary lift station facilities. A critical design choice was adding ESL Power Systems' StormSwitch Manual Transfer Switch to 11 sewer lift station pump sites and to the raw water intake location.
According to Mullis, the ESL product provided an ideal off-the-shelf solution while eliminating the added costs for a custom-engineered system. "The StormSwitch unit allows City of Gretna workers to easily add emergency generator backup power to numerous pumping system locations needing different amperages, while at the same time meeting the UL1008 standard with a robust NEMA-3R-rated enclosure and complying with National Electrical Code Art. 702 requirements for optional standby systems," he said.
Baudoin's post-Katrina advice after rebuilding the City of Gretna's wastewater facilities is simple, "You can never have enough backup systems," he emphasized.

Joe Lacob
Owner & CEO
In his role as Owner & CEO, Joe Lacob is the managing member of the Golden State Warriors' ownership group. He serves on the NBA Board of Governors and is a member of the league's Competition Committee, Planning Committee and Labor Committee.
This past season, Lacob's fifth as owner, the Warriors posted a franchise-best 67 wins during the regular season and captured the team's first NBA Championship in 40 years. This marked the first time in 20 years, since the Houston Rockets in 1994 & 1995, that an ownership group had captured an NBA title within its first five years after taking control of the franchise. The championship campaign culminated the most successful three-year run in Warriors history, as the club has posted 165 regular-season victories over the last three seasons and made three-straight playoff appearances for the first time since 1975-77. In fact, prior to the last three seasons, the club had only made the playoffs once in the previous 18 years.
The franchise's success in recent years has also extended to the business side. In 2014, the Warriors were named "Sports Team of the Year" by the Sports Business Journal/Daily, in recognition of the organization's innovative and successful business practices. Additionally, over the last year, the revamped Warriors Foundation has distributed over $1.5 million in grants (one of the top figures in the NBA) and more than 12,000 game tickets to deserving Bay Area organizations supporting youth development.
Since making a then-record-setting bid to purchase his hometown NBA club – a longtime dream of the Atherton resident – and assuming control of the team on November 12, 2010, Lacob has been the driving force behind many of the creative changes that have transpired with the organization, including several major announcements, prominent personnel additions and an emphasis on transparency.
In October 2015, the Warriors completed the purchase of 12 acres of land in San Francisco's Mission Bay neighborhood, where the team intends to build a new state-of-the-art sports and entertainment center. In addition to making monumental commitments to the team's future, Lacob has taken an active role in connecting the current Warriors organization with its rich history. In 2012, Lacob saw to it that one of the most beloved players in franchise history, Chris Mullin, received the honor of having his #17 jersey raised to the rafters at Oracle Arena, becoming the sixth player in franchise history to have his number retired.
During his first full offseason as owner in the summer of 2011, Lacob recruited two of the most experienced, successful and respected individuals in NBA circles to join the organization, landing NBA Hall of Famer and basketball icon Jerry West as an executive board member, and hiring longtime league and team executive Rick Welts as president and chief operating officer. Additionally, Lacob played a significant role in the hiring of successful sports agent Bob Myers, who is now the club's general manager.
Lacob's NBA and professional sports experience dates back over two decades, including a five-year tenure as minority owner of the Boston Celtics, where he served on the basketball committee. He earned an NBA World Championship ring in 2008 with the storied franchise before selling his minority stake to purchase the Warriors.
Lacob has been a partner of Menlo Park, California, based Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers since 1987. Though still a partner in the firm, he has relinquished his managing partner role in order to pursue his lifelong goal of owning and operating an NBA team. In his role as a venture capitalist, he has led investments in over 50 start-up companies across multiple fields in life sciences and medical technologies, the internet and energy.
Lacob earned a Bachelor's in Biological Sciences from the University of California-Irvine, a Master's in Public Health (Epidemiology) from UCLA and an M.B.A. from the Stanford Graduate School of Business. He credits his Master's degree in Epidemiology (biostatistics) with providing him a background in statistics that helped drive his passion for sports. It also played a role in his decision to invest in Sportsline – one of the first sports internet sites – and one of Lacob's earliest sports success stories. He was also a primary investor and pioneer of the American Basketball League, a professional women's basketball league that eventually lost out to the WNBA. Lacob continues as one of the original partners in the Pebble Beach Company, an effort formed to bring the historic Pebble Beach resort and golf course back to long-term American ownership. Additionally, Lacob has been involved with Stanford basketball for over 25 years and is a fixture in his courtside seats at Maples Pavilion. Lacob currently serves on the Board of Directors of one public company, Align Technology, as well as several other privately-held companies, including Neuropace, SunDrop Fuels, Imoji, and Athos, a wearable technology startup in athletic wear.
In recent years, Lacob has been involved in industry organizations including the American Heart Association and the AHA Roundtable. He has also been very active at Stanford University, serving on advisory boards at the medical center, business school and athletic department. Lacob's philanthropic interests focus on education, both in the community and with universities. He has also provided scholarships to a number of high potential academic and athletic high school and college students in need.
An avid golfer, Joe has been a longtime participant in the AT&T National Pro-Am at Pebble Beach. He has played in a regular pick-up basketball game, and still does, at least twice weekly for over 30 years at Stanford. Most importantly for Warriors fans, Lacob has been a passionate fan of the Bay Area club that he now owns – supporting his local franchise as a loyal and dedicated Season Ticket Holder since 1998.

Wedding bells soon will ring for five lucky couples � including one from Craven County � thanks to an organization that will give them nuptials for free.
Wedding bells soon will ring for five lucky couples � including one from Craven County � thanks to an organization that will give them nuptials for free.
�Winning is a big weight off of our shoulders,� said Ashley Lanier, 28, of Jacksonville, who postmarked her entry on the final day. �This is going to allow us to enjoy everything. So many people don�t get that pleasure. We are truly grateful for this experience.�
Operation Marry Me provides all catering, florists, photographers, facilities, among other gifts. Entries were due in July in time for Veteran�s Day weddings on Nov. 11.
Operation Marry Me is a collective of North Carolina counties that joined forces to offer free weddings to service members every year on Veterans Day, according to the company�s website.
�Believe it or not, I actually had a pretty good gut feeling that we had a chance when I submitted my application,� said Lanier, a newborn photographer for Mom-365 who already was planning a wedding when she applied. �I felt as though there was something special about this wedding. I made sure not to make any plans for our wedding until we found out if we had won.�
Now that she knows she won, Lanier is preparing her daughter to be the flower girl during the ceremony at South Harbor Wedding Chapel in Southport, she said.
�She�s my princes, so being the flower girl is the perfect role for her,� said Lanier, who met her fianc� eight months ago. �After all, it�s the three of ours� wedding.�
The couple has not decided on a honeymoon destination, and they may very well wait, said Lanier.
�We�re elated and in shock,� said Lanier, who found out about winning the contest on Friday. �All I can do is thank them for this. It�s going to be a fairytale wedding � the one my Barbie�s wished they could have had.�
For Patrick Ezel of New Bern, winning the contest was something he thought was a long shot because he�s never won anything in his life, he said.
The journey to winning began for the couple one night when his fianc�e, Michelle Zaccardelli, was in bed surfing Facebook. She saw an ad and figured she would apply, she said.
�Life went back to normal after we applied � we didn�t hold our breath,� Zaccardelli said. �But now, we get to plan our honeymoon cruise to the Bahamas.�
Zaccardelli and Ezel thought they were only finalists and did a Skype interview. To their surprise, they were told at the end of the interview that they had in fact won the contest.
�We answered all sorts of questions like how this would change our lives and about how we met and then they told us we were the winners for Craven County,� Zaccardelli said. �We were totally blown away and taken by surprise.�
The couple is �ecstatic� about their New Bern wedding at Tryon Palace. With 48 guests, the couple will exchange nuptials and look forward to a lifetime of playing board games and enjoying each other�s company, Ezel said.
�We couldn�t be more thankful for this great opportunity,� Ezel said. �It�s beyond our expectations. It�s such a great thing to provide this opportunity to military members and their families.�
Samantha Prillwitz and Bryce Forth of Jacksonville couldn�t have asked for a better surprise at the end of their Skype interview, she said.
�I thought it was one of the required parts to applying,� Prillwitz, 24, said. �I never thought I�d have an opportunity to bring together the entire family for such a beautiful wedding.�
Prillwitz said she can�t help but feel relieved now that the stress of planning a wedding is lifted from her shoulders.
�All I have to do is find a dress,� said Prillwitz, whose son will be the ring bearer in their wedding. �Them giving us this opportunity � all I can say is thank you because you�ve made my dreams come true.�
Already engaged and planning a wedding prior to applying for the contest, Sarah Metallo, of Richlands and Nicolas Trager, of Camp Geiger hoped and prayed they would win but didn�t expect it, she said.
�A wedding is very intimidating,� Metallo said. �The sense of relief I feel right now is indescribable. It was such a big blessing for us to receive this gift and I want to thank people for their generosity from the bottom of my heart.�
The final winners were Nikki Seegars and Aaron Ambrosino of Charlotte.

*All statistics referenced were compiled using 2013 data provided by Opta
** Statistics include defenders who have played a minimum of 900 minutes this season
GAITHERSBURG, Md. – It can be difficult to quantify statistics for defenders. When it comes to voting for the MLS All-Star game, far too often they're judged on their offensive capabilities instead of their defensive prowess, simply because offensive statistics are the easiest to comprehend.
How many goals did that defender score? Well, he must be good, right?
But a defender's job, first and foremost, is to defend. So it stands to reason that we should be judging defenders primarily based on their team's overall defensive record and not the occasional foray into the attacking third.
In that sense, Jose Goncalves can make an All-Star case better than pretty much any other defender in MLS.
Goncalves – who wears the captain's armband in his first season with the New England Revolution – is the physical and emotional leader of the top backline in the league. The Revs boast MLS-best marks in goals against average (0.87), shutouts (nine), save percentage (77.3) and goals allowed (13). Goncalves is widely regarded as the best defender on the best defensive team in the league. That should be worth something to All-Star voters.
But there are too many variables in team defensive statistics to simply judge a single defender based on those. Obviously the Revolution's defensive record has also had plenty to do with Goncalves' fellow defenders, All-Star caliber goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth and the rest of New England's lineup.
In the case of Goncalves, individual statistics back up his case, too.
Watch any Revolution game and it becomes instantly clear that Goncalves is a beast going into a 50-50 challenge. The statistical proof? The 27-year-old center back ranks third in the league in duel winning percentage (65.9 percent) and is one of only three defenders in MLS – along with Chad Marshall and Alain Rochat – to crack the top 10 in both aerial duel winning percentage and ground duel winning percentage. Whether it's in the air or on the ground, Goncalves is one of the best in the league at winning the ball for his side.
How about when Goncalves goes in for a tackle? His successful tackle percentage is 88.9 percent, good for eighth in the league. The stats say he's making smart decisions on when to go in for tackles, and when he does, he's coming away with the ball nine out of 10 times.
Still not convinced of Goncalves' credentials? We can go another route and delve into one of the most popular methods of judging players in today's sports landscape – fantasy statistics.
Goncalves has been one of MLS' top fantasy defenders this season, ranking second in total points among defenders. With 95 totals points, he trails only Sporting Kansas City center back Aurelien Collin (99 points), whose stats are boosted by two goals and one assist. So based on pure defensive statistics, Goncalves is tops.
Among Goncalves' most notable fantasy statistics are his 112 recoveries (tied for first), his 169 clearances/blocks/interceptions (third) and his nine clean sheets (first). And he's done it all without picking up a yellow card, or making an error which has led to a goal. He's a fantasy owner's dream.
If you're looking to pick up a defender for your fantasy team and don't already have Goncalves in your lineup, there's no question he's your best bet. If you're looking for a center back to represent the MLS All-Star team against Italian giant AS Roma next month, I'd argue Goncalves is also a worthy choice.
Fantasy or not, the proof is in the numbers.

It may still be August, but it is not too early to start thinking about spot fishing. The last few years have been down ones when it comes to the annual spot run, which draws hoards of anglers to our piers and marinas seeking our most beloved little saltwater panfish. However, there is reason for hope.
This has been an unexpectedly good year for flounder fishing, following some rather bad ones. Whether this is due to more stringent regulations or just species fluctuations is a matter of debate, but clearly there have been more flounder out there.

Debbie Croft: Descendant of trailer maker chronicles family's famous business
August Charles Fruehauf was the son of German immigrants, and a blacksmith and carriage maker near Detroit. His blacksmith and wagon works shop was the largest in the area and earned a reputation as the best in the country.
"My granddad made wagons, doorknobs, grillwork, wrought iron fencing and gates," Ruth Ann Fruehauf said.
During the peak of the second industrial revolution, territorial expansion and urbanization changed the face of America. Thomas Edison's electric light bulbs illuminated city streets and Henry Ford's automobiles carried passengers in style.
Gilded mansions were built to accommodate families of wealthy business owners, giving shape to the country's most distinguished neighborhoods. And the invention of structural steel and elevators introduced skyscrapers.
The Wright brothers had found their wings, and railroad tracks crisscrossed the country, making long-distance travel possible.
But for short distances, products were still transported by horse and wagon.
One of Fruehauf's customers, lumber dealer Frederic Sibley, needed a way to transport his 18-foot sailboat to a lake in upper Michigan. Fruehauf and his best friend and business partner, Otto Neumann, asked for a few days to think on it.
Discussions of measurements with sketches produced the solution: attach a flatbed wagon using couplings, to the back of Sibley's Model T Roadster – after removing the back seat from the automobile.
When Henry Ford found out, he was not impressed. But that's another story.
The year was 1914, and Fruehauf had invented the semi-trailer.
"He was at the right place at the right time," Ruth adds.
Sibley liked it so much he ordered more. This enabled his company to distribute products faster and farther, prompting his competitors to put in their orders as well.
Between 1914 and 1918 the Fruehauf trailer designs were constantly improved. Demand exploded, and by the end of 1918, not a single horseshoe was included on the shop's inventory list.
By 1919 the business had a new name: the Fruehauf Trailer Company (FTC).
Another Fruehauf invention was the fifth wheel, the forerunner of the modern automatic coupling.
His motto, "You can pull more than you can carry," was based on a scientific principle. This led to hundreds of designs for truck-trailers and their component parts during the 80 years the family remained in business.
At the time, paved roadways were few and far between. A dirt track ran from Chicago to California. Following World War 1, the U.S. War Department formed the Transcontinental Motor Convoy of 1919 to determine whether America's roads could handle emergency Army mobility over long distances.
Two years later, the Federal Aid Highway Act was signed, allowing the development of a national highway system. (Young Dwight D. Eisenhower had been a part of the group, and his observations were recorded and remembered.)
FTC led the way through decades of commercial transportation improvements: the reversible four-wheel trailer, hydraulic lift gate, liquid tankers, refrigerated trailers, "double the payload" tandem trailers, low-level trailers for carrying heavy equipment and military vehicles, shipping containers, and mobile post offices and communication centers.
The 1940 documentary film "Singing Wheels" showed Americans how trucks connected every segment of society, from farms to factories, from businesses to households.
Ruth's father, Roy Fruehauf, assumed presidency of FTC in 1949.
"He shepherded the company into another era," his daughter said.
By the mid-1950s, plants were built across North America, including Sacramento and Fresno, and overseas, with 88 branches established worldwide. Sales had reached $152,000,000.
Roy Fruehauf was one of the most prominent businessmen of the time, "called upon by President Dwight D. Eisenhower and government and business leaders for advice and business acumen," Ruth Ann Fruehauf states in her upcoming book "Singing Wheels: The History of the Fruehauf Trailer Company."
He eventually became a member of Eisenhower's Independent Advisory Committee to the Trucking Industry. Eisenhower's participation in the 1919 convoy left a lasting impression. During Eisenhower's presidential terms he signed into law the establishing of over 41,000 miles of paved highway.
Fruehauf served Fortune 500 companies in the United States, including Nabisco, Firestone, Quaker, Maytag, Tide, Dow and many others. FTC became the industry leader, selling more than other trailer companies combined.
"Federal trucks and Fruehauf trailers partnered for a while, in 1953 the cab-over-engine with a trailer were the cutting edge of engineering at the time," according to the book.
Unfortunately, disagreements within the family caused the company's downfall in the late-1990s.
Ruth Fruehauf was approached last year by the German Historical Institute to write a 10,000-word essay about her grandfather, whose work ethic and ingenuity impacted global transportation.
In her parents' basement, she found more than 30 boxes full of papers, photos, framed documents, artifacts and memorabilia. She is currently working on a pictorial journal, featuring 70-80 original photographs, due to be published soon. A nonfiction book of the complete history will also be written.
She credits Darlene Norman, co-author, for her extensive help with research and documentation.
The two women established the Fruehauf Trailer Historical Society, located in Mariposa. Learn more at the www.singingwheels.com.

CARTA: Mind Reading: Human Origins and Theory of Mind: Elizabeth Spelke: What Makes Humans Different?
Date: 12/20/2013; 23 minutes
In this talk, Elizabeth Spelke (Harvard Univ) asks whether studies of human infants provide insights into the origins and nature of uniquely human social cognitive capacities. Do the complex social judgments made by human adults develop from, and build on, simpler systems that are functional in infants? And do non-human animals share any of these systems, and therefore serve as models for studies of their development and functioning at multiple levels of analysis? Recent research on human infants suggests tentative answers to these questions. Recorded on 10/18/2013. (#26083)

Chicago's new mayor, Rahm Emanuel, has followed in the footsteps of President Obama and Education Secretary Arne Duncan, choosing to send his kids to the elite private UC Lab School. It's a very good school by all accounts, so it's probably an excellent choice. So why did Rahm get so grouchy when asked about it?
I think it might have something to do with the obvious hypocrisy of cherishing and exercising educational choice for one's own kids while advocating a one-size fits-few state monopoly school system that makes private schooling unaffordable to the majority of your fellow citizens. Just a thought.

Dear dear Jimmycat
Poor Jimmy! My trip to the veterinarian to fix her hurt foot didn't go as planned. I had an x-ray taken which showed us that she truly did have a broken leg. Her small bone (radius) had snapped when she jumped off her rocking chair. Her bones looked spongy and were cancerous and couldn't be repaired. I had no clue she was sick——just delicate on her toes, which isn't so uncommon for a kitty of fourteen.
We spent one last night with her, fed her her favorite dish of tomatoes and put her to rest this Saturday. Bear with me, a tribute to my odd and fine kitty will follow. She's been my great companion during my adult life. I miss her so.

Democracy is a universal value based on the freely expressed will of people to determine their own political, economic, social and cultural systems and their full participation in all aspects of their lives.
The theme for this year's International Day of Democracy (15 September) is democracy education, the process of ensuring that all peoples of the world fully understand their rights and responsibilities in decision-making.
The subject of this year's theme is essential for the long-term success of democracy, especially in countries that have recently transitioned to more democratic societies. Questions such as, "Why should I vote?", "How can I influence my leaders?" "What can I reasonably expect from my elected officials?" or "What are my constitutional rights?" need to be addressed through civic institutions, in the free press and in classrooms. It is only with educated citizens that a sustainable culture of democracy can emerge.
At UN Headquarters, on Monday 17 September, will feature speakers from the UN Democracy Fund (UNDEF), the Community of Democracies, the Organization of American States, the UN Institute for Training and Research, UNESCO and the Permanent Representatives of Mongolia and Poland. The event, on democracy education, will be webcast live at 7 p.m. CET.
The event coincides with the launch of a new UNDEF-funded project to put democracy education into wider practice.

The United States Men's national team is primed and ready for this summer's World Cup in Brazil. During their qualification for the tournament they had an unbelievable run that saw them reach their current spot in the FIFA World Rankings as the number 14 team in the World.
The Americans won 15 out of 16 games over a four-month stretch, their form increased drastically from earlier qualification games and they found themselves in a great position.
At the time, having such a high ranking and winning the qualification group was supposed to mean that the US would get a somewhat favorable draw in the World Cup – not so much.

The Serpent Twins
We have joined up with our friends John and Kyrsten over at Form & Reform to design and build a fun project for Burning Man!
The project has just launched its kickstater page. So please donate to the cause!
John and Kyrsten over at Form and Reform, have created magical pieces out of metal like the Golden Mean Snail Car, and the Zeppelini. Now we are working with them to turn these metal barrels into a Deco Nordic God creature called.... The Serpent Twins.
The front will be powered by these little electric cars...
And the barrels will be filled inside with programable LEDs. One of the serpents will be all dark metal with a "fire" light show on the inside. The other will be white barrels with a more etherial colorful light show.
You can read more about the evolution of the project on the Form and Reform site. And dont forget to donate!

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – With many great opportunities for goals paired with amazing opposing defense to stand in the way, the #13 MIT women's soccer team fell to New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) foe Springfield College with a score of 1-0 on Robert's Field on Saturday afternoon. The Pride is now 6-2 for the season and 2-0 in NEWMAC play, while the Engineers dipped to 5-2-2 and 1-1 in conference action.
Both teams struggled for possession at the start of the game, with neither being able to settle before the ball was stolen away. Junior Ambika Krishnamachar (Darien, Conn.) started things off for the Engineers with a strong shot at the net three minutes into the first half but the effort was thwarted by keeper Lucy Gillett. Freshman goalie Lauren Ullmann (Princeton, N.J.) made back-to-back saves immediately after that but was not able to make a third, being brought far out of the net, allowing Krissy Cicalis to bury the ball in the left top corner of the net.
Falling a goal behind just 17 minutes into the first half, MIT turned up the aggression in hopes of scoring the equalizer. With 24 minutes remaining in the half, Gillett was brought clear out of the box, leaving the net wide open, but Krishnamachar shot with a bit too much power and the ball trickled out of play. In the remaining minutes, Ullmann made three saves compared to Gillett's one.
Tech started the second period with more intensity, spending a lot more time in enemy territory than the half before. Freshman Tamar Weseley (Weston, Conn.) replaced Ullmann in net for the second period, seeing her fair share of action right from the start. The freshman has not given up a single goal in the five games that she has played. At the 71 minute mark, Springfield put together a strong play following a corner quick but Weseley was able to throw herself in the middle of it to break it up.
At the 80 minute mark, senior Rachel Dias Carlson (Albany, N.Y.) sent a strong cross to Krishnamachar, who, in turn, sent it to senior Michaelann Rodriguez (Florence, Ala.), but the Pride defenders did an impressive job of kicking the ball out of the box. Fellow senior Samantha Fleischmann (Eastchester, N.Y.) had a series of three free kicks following Springfield fouls that all went into the box and into extremely dangerous territory but each one was either caught by Gillett or cleared by the ever-present Springfield defense. At 82:22, Krishnamachar had a promising shot that was saved by the keeper and, two minutes later, hit the post with another. Springfield's Julia Cormier also hit the post with two minutes remaining on the clock. With MIT unable to score the equalizing goal, time elapsed.
MIT and Springfield both took 14 shots, with Gillett making seven saves and Ullmann and Weseley combining to make nine saves. Ullmann currently has a record of 5-2-2 for the season, allowing just five goals in the nine games that she has played. Krishnamachar led the Engineers with her six shots.
Tech will play in its first away game in over two weeks next Saturday, Oct. 5 when it faces NEWMAC rival Mount Holyoke College at 1:00 p.m.

FC-501 4+1 NiMH / NiCd Charger
This is the iPowerUS FC-501 5-Channel Fast Smart Charger. It rapid charges NiMH or NiCd type AA / AAA / 9V batteries with the precision that only microprocessor technology can provide. Designed with five separate charging circuits to handle one, two, three or four AA or AAA batteries independently of each other. It can also charge one 9V type rechargeable cell.
The FC-501 is called "Smart" because it uses a microprocessor to monitor each cell being recharged to make sure that it is charged to its maximum capacity. Each cell is analyzed before recharging starts. If a bad cell is detected the user is alerted by a blinking LED and that cell is not charged to protect its charger circuit from damage. During charging, the cell's voltage is constantly monitored. Using Negative DeltaV Cool Charging Technology each cell is fully and quickly recharged without overheating. Once it is fully replenished the charging current is reduced to prevent over-charging and to maintain the optimal capacity. An automatic "refresh" cycle will revive old and weak cells to enhance the battery life significantly.
Operation of the charger is very easy. Place one, two, three or four AA or AAA cells or one 9V battery in the charger and then plug in the power adapter. There are no switches to set or buttons to push, operation is completely automatic.
The FC-501 analyzes each cell before it begins charging, you'll see the LEDs turn green momentarily. If a damaged, shorted or dead cell is detected its LED will blink red. When charging begins all the LED indicators turn red until the charge cycle is completed. When finished, the LEDs turn green again to indicate that the charger is now in the lower current microcharge mode.
This auto trickle mode uses a safe, 35-50mA current and most NiMH batteries can accept this level indefinitely. I always leave a set of batteries sitting in my charger so I know they are fully charged when I need them.
The actual charging time is totally dependant on the capacity of the cell being charged. Refer to the following chart for approximate charging times:
You can use the FC-501 charger at home with the AC power adapter or in your car or boat or anyplace that has a 12V cigarette lighter plug with the included 12V power cord. You can carry your batteries safely thanks to the included battery holders. Each one can hold one to four AA or AAA cells.
The FC-528 "Worldwide" travel package (shown above) includes the charger, eight iPowerUS AA 2100mAh NiMH cells and two battery holders, a smaller universal 100-240V 50/60Hz switching power supply and European plug converter, and 12VDC card cord.
Steve's Conclusion
I have really come to appreciate the chargers that have independant circuits for each cell versus the ones that charge batteries in pairs. You don't have to worry about mixing and matching sets of batteries anymore which is quite handy when you have five or six sets of cells for your camera or flash unit. Each battery gets properly and fully charged regardless of its state of discharge. With the "pair chargers" there is always the chance the one of the cells is more deeply discharged than the other so it won't get a full charge before the charger kicks off to keep from over charging the other cell.
And it's really nice to have a quick charger that doesn't fry your batteries, this definitely shortens their service life. Charging up a set of 2100mAh batteries for about two hours in some chargers will make them so hot that you can't even handle them. With the FC-501 charger these same batteries are only warm to the touch after 120 minutes and you can be assured that they are at full capacity. I always leave a set of batteries in the charger on trickle charge. The NiMH type of batteries have a problem with air discharge which means that they lose their charge when just sitting. You should always charge your batteries the night before you need them or do as I do and keep a set on "hot standby" being trickle charged. You can safely leave modern NiMH batteries on trickle charge for an indefinite period of time with no damage to the cells.
This is an excellent charger and is useable at home or in the field. It's a great way to save money too. NiMH rechargeable batteries provide at least 3x more power for your digital camera than even the best technology alkaline and they're reusable up to 500 times. I hate seeing people buying one-use batteries as it won't be long before they'll end up at the local landfill and there's enough garbage there already.

WASHINGTON—Eight people have been taken to the hospital with apparently minor injuries after acoustic ceiling foam fell during a music exhibition in Washington, D.C.
Fire department Capt. Louis Carter tells The Washington Post (http://wapo.st/15QApc5) that a combination of the construction and the vibrations from the music show may have caused the dust, debris and foam insulation to come down on the audience.
The band Black Alley was playing at the time during the event, titled "Go-Go Swing: Washington, D.C.'s Unstoppable Beat." The D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities was holding the kickoff for the two-month exhibition on Friday night.

NTE Energy to Develop One of the Most Efficient Natural Gas Fired Power Plants in ERCOT
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. – NTE Energy announced today that it plans to develop, own and operate one of the most reliable and clean sources of capacity and energy in ERCOT, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas. The Pecan Creek Energy Center, located near Sweetwater, Nolan County, Texas, will generate enough power to supply approximately 200,000 homes and will represent an investment of over $200 million.
The Pecan Creek Energy Center will utilize the M501GAC-FAST combustion turbine in simple cycle configuration. This highly efficient design and advanced technology provides up to 270MW in 10 minutes and will be supplied by Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Americas, Inc. (MHPSA). This next generation electric generating technology, fueled by clean burning natural gas, will operate as a peaking generation facility, providing quick start ups and efficient power for ERCOT.
"As the energy landscape continues to change, the need for affordable, cleaner peaking generation is essential to enhance system reliability in ERCOT," said Seth Shortlidge, President of NTE Energy. "NTE Energy looks forward to working with the Nolan County community in developing one of the cleanest, most efficient, and most reliable electricity source to help ensure grid reliability."
During the construction phase, the Pecan Creek Energy Center is expected to create approximately 100 construction industry jobs. The bulk of the construction jobs are expected to be filled by the members of local community. Upon completion, the project is slated to add approximately 10 – 15 full-time jobs to the Nolan County area, most of which are expected to come from the local workforce.
The Pecan Creek Energy Center hasfiled its permit applications and its generation interconnection request with ERCOT. The project is expected to begin construction in the fourth quarter 2014 and become fully operational in the second quarter 2016.

The ice rink is returning for its second year and is set up on the Water Department property on Mill Street, just across from the Rails to Trails.
The rink, which is open throughout the winter months, made the move downtown from Memorial Park, where it was set up last year.
"We want to showcase our downtown," said Town Councilor and rink organizer Dawn Miceli. "It is such a great area. We're looking to make this a destination location."
The idea for the ice rink, the first of its kind open to the public in town, originally came from Miceli and Water Commissioner Michael Domian, who are neighbors, and have fond memories of skating with their families at Domian's own ice rink.
The original cost for the rink was about $7,000, which was raised through private donations. The rink is collapsible and can be reused year after year.
Last year, the opening year for the rink, saw wide community interest, even though a warmer than normal winter kept things more slushy than icy.
"Mother Nature did not cooperate with us," Miceli said.
However, on the rare instances where Mother Nature did cooperate, Miceli said the rink was packed with residents. Officials even noticed that local youths were interested in using the rink to play hockey, so designated hockey hours were included this year.
"There's a great interest in hockey play," Miceli said. "We saw our youths out there last year."
Public ice skating will be offered this season – weather permitting –Sunday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Skaters use the rink at their own risk and appropriate safety gear is recommended. There is no skate attendant on duty and children should be supervised by a responsible adult. .
Alcohol is prohibited and food, drinks and smoking are not allowed in the skating area.
Hockey play, sticks or pucks are not allowed on ice during recreational skating times, but are allowed Wednesdays from 7-9 p.m. and Saturdays from 3- 5 p.m. Hockey players must wear helmets/face shields and protective gear during hockey sessions. Recreational skating is prohibited during hockey sessions.
Parking for the community ice skating rink is on Mill Street at the Rails to Trails parking lot and the Southington Municipal Center parking lot.
The temporary ice rink was made available via generous donation from ESPN, Billy Carlson Heating & Air Conditioning, PTE Energy, The Calvanese Foundation, Ray Gorman and family, Yarde Metals, and an anonymous private donor.

Raw Food Bars
Raw Crunch with Organic Mango and Coconut Bar, 1 oz
Raw Crunch bars are an uncooked, unprocessed, nutrition boost, free of artificial supplements, colors, flavorings and preservatives.
Uncooked, Unprocessed Ingredients: Organic Sesame Seeds, Organic Sunflower Seeds, Organic Flaxseeds, Organic Pumpkin Seeds, Organic Cashews, Organic Pecans, Organic Macadamia Nuts, Raw Honey, Celtic Sea Salt.
Raw Crunch bars are an uncooked, unprocessed, nutrition boost, free of artificial supplements, colors, flavorings and preservatives. They stabilize your blood sugar and are great for natural appetite control. By keeping your blood sugar stabilized, you are more likely to release stored body fat for energy.
The hardest part for people to grasp is that you have to add heart healthy fats to your diet if you want to lose excess body fat. The more healthy fats that you consume during the day from foods like avocados and Raw Crunch bars, the less calories that you will consume in the evening. These healthy fats will satisfy your hunger, thus reducing your appetite and lowering your total food consumption. Even though dietary fat contains more calories than protein or carbs, its effect on curbing appetite results in less daily calorie consumption. These healthy fats give you energy, lean you up like crazy and make your skin vibrant and glowing as well as reduce digestive stress. So whatever you do, don't skimp out on these healthy fats!
Most cooked commercial energy bars, in addition to their unhealthy saturated fat, contain so much artificial sweeteners and cheap synthetic vitamins and protein that you're almost better off eating a candy bar. That's why my husband and I began making our own healthy bars. As athletes ourselves, we understand the value of a clean burning fuel for intense workouts, as well as a satisfying snack at the office. In the Raw Crunch bars, we formulated the most nutrient dense, antioxidant rich ingredients.
If you were to look at a chart of prime food sources rated with every vitamin and mineral we know of, you would see nuts and seeds listed at the top. We then added berries and dark chocolate . . . ingredients that top the list of naturally occurring antioxidants. Although we use very little Raw Honey in our Raw Crunch bars, Raw Honey is not a refined sugar like white sugar; it is a sustaining energy source. This unique Raw Honey we use in our bars is harvested-by-hand and is intensely flavorful. Our beekeepers are passionate about the well-being of their bees. And the Celtic Sea Salt we use contains a natural balance of sodium, magnesium and potassium, which regulates fluid balance in the body. With all of this in combination you're going to be so healthy, you won't know what to do with yourself.
Raw Crunch bars are Certified Organic By Quality Assurance International (QAI).

New London Police Community Relations Committee postpones discussion without option of closed session
New London - The Police Community Relations Committee tabled its discussion of an investigation of a civilian complaint Wednesday night after the deputy police chief declined to enter a closed session to review the case.
Deputy Chief Peter Reichard said he had been told by Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio to not enter executive session for such discussions because the mayor and city law director Jeffrey Londregan believe the closed sessions violate freedom of information laws. Zak Leavy, mayoral assistant and Finizio's designee at PCRC meetings, said he, too, would not engage in the closed sessions for the same reasons.
A committee vote to handle such reviews in executive session came in October, nearly three years after the panel was told by then-city law director Thomas Londregan that such sessions were in violation of state Freedom of Information Act. Since that March 2010 decision, all discussions had been open to the public.
The committee, which chose Wednesday to only review the complaint in executive session, was forced to table the discussion after Reichard told Chairman Wayne Vendetto he would not give the committee the complaint to review unless it was done openly. The board, members of which are appointed by the City Council, will discuss the complaint at its February meeting.
"We have not been told by the powers to be that we can't go into executive session, and that comes from City Council," Vendetto said. "We can go into executive session to discuss personnel matters."
But Leavy said Jeffrey Londregan, the son of the former city law director, reaffirmed in a Dec. 7 memo the 2010 opinion of his father.
"Assuming the PCRC receives the redacted investigation documents from the Police Department (documents that have already had any exempt information removed), it is my opinion that the discussions of the PCRC would not fall within any 'executive sessions' categories listed under General Statute 1-200(6)," Londregan wrote in the memo. "As such, any hearing conducted by the PCRC should be held in a public forum as required under the FOIA."
From its 1988 creation until the March 2010 change, the panel's discussions of such complaints were held behind closed doors, with committee votes held in public session. The committee is responsible for deciding whether the police department "adequately" or "inadequately" investigated a civilian complaint.
After spending the last year discussing a change back to the old policy, the panel voted in October to do so. Last month, a committee member asked that decision be revisited, and the committee brought up the topic Wednesday during its monthly meeting at the city's senior center.
Todd Lynch, the police department's union president, said the union questions why the sessions were opened after more than 20 years of closed discussion. Lynch implied Chief Margaret Ackley, who took over in June 2009, was behind the change.
"It has been our belief all along that the change was made to humiliate or bring disgrace on union members who were found to have lots of complaints against them," he said. "The current chief, in March 2010 quoting transparency, asked for it to be held in open session. The union is not against whether it's open or not, we've just always questioned why it was changed in March of 2010 from the way it's been since its inception."
Vendetto said he's met with a majority of the city councilors, including Council President Michael Passero and John Maynard, the head of the council's Public Safety Committee, about the issue. He said he hopes to organize a meeting with all involved to "hash out" the correct course for the committee to take.
"Going back to the ordinance, it says the committee can run meetings as it sees fit, with the permission of the City Council," he said. "There are lots of things that need to be ironed out, and the only way is to sit down and talk to them."
