Matheny gives Holliday, Descalso day of rest
SAN FRANCISCO -- As a player, Mike Matheny used to argue with his managers against off-days. Now he has to defend them.
The St. Louis skipper is taking a long-term approach to his lineups in 2013, planning to rest some of his big bats early in the season to keep them fresh into September. For Sunday's series finale against the Giants, slugger Matt Holliday was a healthy scratch from the lineup.
"I've been very clear with the guys and none of them like the message," Matheny said. "The message is: Your turn is going to come around. It's just going to be everyone taking their turn and realizing that this is for the good of the team."
With Sunday serving as a getaway day for the team before it heads back for Monday's home opener, Matheny said he wanted to "unleash" Holliday for the first game at Busch Stadium. Along with Holliday, Matheny also gave second baseman David Descalso his first break of the 2013 season.
With the two regulars resting, Matt Carpenter moved from third to second base for Descalso, while Ty Wigginton started at third, Matt Adams started at first and Allen Craig filled in for Holliday in left field. Not only does Matheny want to keep his regulars fresh, but he indicated he'd like to keep reserve bats like Wigginton sharp off the bench. Wigginton has also had previous success against Giants starter Matt Cain, going 4-for-12 (.333) with a home run and five RBIs against the San Francisco ace in his career before adding an RBI single in the Cardinals' nine-run fourth inning Sunday.
"Right now we're just trying to get him a few more consistent at-bats," Matheny said of Wigginton. "So when we bring him in a pinch-hit situation, he'll have an opportunity to feel good about where he's at."

Hip-hop star Wyclef Jean has been barred from Haiti's election.
The Grammy-winning ex-Fugees artist was judged ineligible to run late Friday, The New York Times reported on its website.
"It is with a heavy heart that I tell you today that the board of elections in Haiti has disqualified me from my run for the presidency of the country," Jean said in a five paragraph statement. "Though I disagree with the ruling, I respectfully accept the committee's final decision, and I urge my supporters to do the same."
He added: "We must all honor the memories of those we've lost--whether in the earthquake, or at anytime--by responding peacefully and responsibly to this disappointment."
Jean was rejected because he did not meet the requirement of having lived in Haiti for five years before the Nov. 28 election, The Associated Press reported.
A spokesman for Haiti's provisional electoral council read a list that included 19 names of those allowed on November's ballot. Jean's name was among a second group of 15 candidates that did not make the cut, according to the Times.
In Jean's statement, the singer appealed for his fellow countrymen to "respect the rule of law in order for our island to become the great nation we all aspire for it to be."
"I want to assure my countrymen that I will continue to work for Haiti's renewal; though the board has determined that I am not a resident of Haiti, home is where the heart is--and my heart has and will always be in Haiti," Jean said.
Earlier Friday Jean urged calm from his supporters and Tweeted a picture of his meeting with Haitian President René Préval a day earlier, according to the Times.
Still, hundreds of Jean diehards reportedly rallied outside the electoral council shouting: "We want Clef, Clef is Haiti and Haiti is for Clef."
The "Gone Till November" singer was born in Croix-des-Bouquets, outside the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince, but grew up in New York and New Jersey where he went on to co-found hip-hop supergroup The Fugees.
After the musician announced earlier this month he intended to lead Haiti as president, his opponents argued Jean did not fulfill a five consecutive year residency requirement to run for office.
Jean maintained he was exempt from the rules from having been appointed the country's roving ambassador three years ago.
Jean also came under criticism for alleged shoddy financial management of his charity, Yele Haiti.
"Rest assured, this isn't the end of my efforts to help improve my beloved country but only marks a new beginning," he said in his statement on Friday.

Jacksonville filmmaker, producer, and director Don Barton died this month. Barton spent much of his life promoting the motion picture industry in Florida. These days, he is best known for his 1971 feature-length cult classic Zaat about a radioactive half-man, half-catfish monster bent on destroying the world. However, the greater body of his work included documentaries, training films, and commercials promoting Florida. Several of these films are in the collections of the State Archives, including:
Design for Winning Florida Department of Citrus promotional film featuring Steve Spurrier
Sailfish City Florida State Advertising Commission film on fishing for sailfish off Fort Pierce Inlet
A Day at the Zoo Promotional film about the Jacksonville Zoo

Was Noah wrong for cursing Canaan? Troy Lacey, AiG–U.S., responds.
Did Jesus want to die for us, or did He try to find a way out of it? How did He submit to the Father's will? Troy Lacey, AiG–U.S., responds.
I am wondering if our Lord also created money and if yes when?
How could Lot be called righteous in 2 Peter 2:7–8 when he did so many bad things as recorded in Genesis 19? Troy Lacey, AiG–U.S., explains.
Christians who believe in an old earth must hold to an inconsistent hermeneutic of interpretation. Troy Lacey and Tim Chaffey, AiG–U.S., explain.
Does Psalm 115:16 prohibit aerial or space travel, or does the dominion mandate of Genesis 1:28 extend into outer space?
How do I teach my son about eternity in a way that helps him look toward this with joy and not fear?

Is there a legitimate distinction between historical and observational science, or are we being misleading to use those terms? Troy Lacey, AiG–U.S., explains.
Was Jehu condemned for carrying out the command God gave him? Troy Lacey and Tim Chaffey explain this alleged contradiction.
Why couldn't the earth and the heavens been created millions of years ago and remained null and void until God created the atmosphere, land and life?

The reason is not kown to me, but there is a tradition in our ER that if all the patients are discharged and the ER is empty, then the doctor has to buy donuts for the entire staff. Given that our facility sees over 100,000 patients annually, you can guess how often that happens.
It's 4 AM, and I just ponied up for donuts.

>Although nitrogen leaves the body in a much slower fashion than we take it on, it still must leave. After diving, you should be equilibrated to ambient nitrogen in 24 hours. If the pain can be produced with movement of the affected joint only, then it is more than likely a musculoskeletal strain or injury. The pain generally associated with decompression illness is not affected by movement or lack of movement and usually remains fairly constant.
>The ability to reproduce the symptom with movement indicates a stress or repetitive movement injury. If you have not seen your personal physician it would be wise to do so. Any symptom of injury that persists for a month is a health concern. Appropriate therapy is indicated to prevent permanent injuries.

Hydration is a very important part of athletics. Proper hydration can not only help prevent a life threatening injury, but proper hydration allows all of your organs to function better.
Hydration does not only occur during practice, it also occurs pre and post practice/game. Athletes should carry a water bottle with them all the time; in school, in the car, and have water by their beds at night.Either water or sports drinks are fine, the priority is making sure that liquid is getting consumed. ...

With stormy weather comes wet, muddy boots that track water inside our trucks, especially the driver's side. Getting in and out with wet boots is not the only issue causing rust in our classic trucks but rather a drainage problem. If you look next to your wiper blades you will see some elongated holes that are better known as the cowl section. The cowl job is to let fresh air into the cab to help cool the occupants in the summer months.
Where there is fresh air can flow, water can, too, along with another major issue—leaf debris getting into the cowl area and trapping the water. The water has no where to go so it sits next to the fresh air vent. Water promotes rust and over the years allows more water to enter the cab near the floor and toe boards, thus, causing even more rust damage. With the help of Brothers Trucks, Deuces Wild Hotrods, and Customs Inc. I will show you a way to repair the Swiss cheese that was once my '59 Apaches floorboard. CT

You're going along, minding your own business, when all of a sudden; POW! It's an exacerbation!
These things happen to all of us now and again. We hope, with the use of our disease-modifying drugs, that they happen less often and that, when they do, they may be (may be) less severe. The excuse I'll give for my week without posting is that I've been in the midst of an exacerbation for nearly two weeks now.
The funny part is, I had an appointment set with one of my neurologists smack in the middle of it! I, of course, knew what was going on with my body. The new symptom, constant numbness of my left thigh, was not something I'd experienced before, and it had lasted for over four days. The "bumble bees" in my feet and legs are with me more than half of the time now.
Going through the familiar exercise of a standard neurologic exam, however, shed new light on the state of my condition.
The "hold your hands out at arm's length with your eyes closed" test revealed that my left arm was sagging by a good foot once I opened my eyes again. My left foot would not answer the call to duty when the doc pressed it down, imploring me to resist his force. I don't even want to know what my gait looked like as I rallied for the walking test unassisted… Caryn's face as I returned to the exam table was evidence enough that I had failed.
So, what to do?
I'll reschedule my next MRI for sometime in the next couple of weeks. I'll make that appointment with my specialist and begin to read up on my options. It's time to make a decision and it's not going to be an easy one.
While I've not taken the relative calm of my MS over the past years for granted, I will say that it has allowed me to keep it on the back burner (most parts of most days). It has now decided to bubble up and make a bit of a mess on the stove. I guess it's time for Chef to pay attention and get his "kitchen" under control.
Wishing you and your family the best of health.

I suppose we should have expected Sepp Blatter to hoist himself onto a soapbox this morning. It is, after all, the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day, which means it's also a perfect opportunity for Blatter to bleat some of the shameless agitprop for which he's beloved:
International Women's Day is celebrating its centenary today – an important milestone in the battle for women's rightful place in society, a struggle that has at times been difficult and called for perseverance.
Women have also had to fight for recognition and equal rights in sport.
Funny the difference a few years and an army of flacks make. Here's Blatter in 2004 on women:
"Let the women play in more feminine clothes like they do in volleyball," said the Fifa chief.
"They could, for example, have tighter shorts."
Blatter added: "Female players are pretty, if you excuse me for saying so, and they already have some different rules to men - such as playing with a lighter ball.
"That decision was taken to create a more female aesthetic, so why not do it in fashion?"
Stay classy, Sepp.

Arrope is an ancient preserve, used to sweeten everything from drinks to desserts. As cane sugar and beet sugar became cheap and widely available, Arrope became an increasingly rare, country condiment. Spoon Arrope over fresh chevre, Brie, or slices of young sheep's milk cheese. Try Arrope instead of honey to sweeten vinaigrettes and fruit salads. During summer, a spoonful of Arrope is surprisingly refreshing in ice water and seltzer. It's also perfect for finishing off ice cream, flans, seared foie gras, tangines of lamb, and to cut the richness of duck confit.
Made only of grape must and pumpkin. No added sugar, pectin, or preservatives.

Spread the Word and Win an iPad 2!
To celebrate the launch of iPad.AppStorm, we're going to be giving one lucky reader a brand new iPad 2!
This is the latest and greatest piece of hardware to emerge from Apple HQ, and today you have the chance to get your hands on one completely free!
The iPad 2: Does Apple Make Mistakes?
Following the international release of the iPad 2 it's worth giving a thought to the continued ability of Apple to develop and market incredibly successful products. Can the iPad 2 possibly fail?
The release of the first iPad, way back in April 2010, was met by dissenting voices in the technology community. From people heralding it as a marvellous technological breakthrough, to asking serious questions over its purpose. Where does it fit in? Do people need it?
Instapaper: Change the Way You Read the Web
Let's say that you're wandering around the Internet and you stumble upon an article that you really want to read. Problem is, it's a bit long, and your boss is coming around the corner so there's no way you can read it right now.
Your options are to leave the tab open on your browser indefinitely, bookmark the article for later reading or just close the tab and move on with your life. Not much else you can do about it, right
Hold on there, chief. There is an answer, and it's named Instapaper. Not only will the service allow you to access that article anytime you want, you don't even have to be online to do it.

Go Treasure Hunting With c:geo
Geocaching is becoming increasingly popular all around the world. People of all ages are joining in this huge global game of hide and seek. In the past month alone, caches around the world have been successfully found over three million times.
There are dozens and dozens of Android apps available to help you find caches using the GPS built into your Android phone, but so far, c:geo is certainly my favourite.
Outstanding Themes to Redesign Your Android
Customizability is one of Android's most loved traits. The ability to tweak the look of every aspect of the OS experience makes for an extremely personalized mobile experience for each user.
The most basic form of customization on Android is the home screen, and there are hundreds of launcher replacements out there. A few of them support themes – the ability to package a coherent set of visuals that alter each aspect of the launcher UI, including the icons, widgets, and backgrounds.
Here's a look at a few of the popular launcher replacements and the best looking themes for each, from iPhone-style makeovers to Tron skins.
Looking For a Smarter Note Tool? Try Springpad
When it comes to note taking and organizing, many services and applications have attempted to create a solution that syncs across platforms and provides an ultimate experience.
One of these services, Springpad, stood out for me thanks to its ability to do more than just notes.
HTC Wildfire Performance: Hints, Tips, and Tricks!
Though it is a brilliant and compact smartphone, HTC did regrettably hinder the Wildfire's CPU and graphical processing capability. Due to the small 528mhz chip, people have often complained that the eyecandy transitions, default applications, and general experience can be a bit slow, laggy, or unpleasant. I have found this to be the case myself.
Since getting mine late last year I have found a few ways to reduce these problems and better my Wildfire's overall user experience, as well as increase productivity and gain a few great applications too. Now I would like to share these tips with you! No purchases are needed. Rooting of your phone isn't needed either.

3 Things You Won't See On an iPhone Any Time Soon
Whether the the next iPhone arrives this summer as always or is pushed back to Fall, you can bet that there will be enough fancy new features to make us all hate our currently beloved iPhone 4's.
However, there are at least three popular feature rumors that shouldn't be taken seriously. Each of the supposedly possible iPhone 5 features we'll discuss today arises from a fundamental misunderstanding of Apple as a company. We'll go through why Jobs and the boys in Cupertino simply aren't interested in bringing these features to the iPhone or even the iPad.

Why App Store Search is Broken and How to Fix It
As the editor of one of the best iPhone app publications around, I spend a lot of time in the iTunes App Store. Significant portions of my every day life are spent browsing new offerings, spotting trends and checking out the latest updates to already popular applications.
Every time I visit the App Store I can't help but notice how broken it is. Searching and even browsing for apps is an incredibly inefficient process that gobbles up time easier than playing Angry Birds. Below we'll discuss what's wrong and why Apple needs to quit dragging their feet and implement a fix already!

Wunderlist: The to-Do List App to Beat
Most of us struggle with too many things to do. From projects you need to complete at work or school to the random things you need to fix at your house, there's simply too much to do each day. There are dozens of to-do list and project management apps for Windows, Mac, mobile, as well as standalone web apps so you can keep up with your tasks online. Many of them are beautifully designed and are simple to use, but they're often expensive and only work on one platform.
Very few to-do list apps offer an integrated solution to keep your tasks synced between all of your devices. The last thing you need to do is to manage a complicated to-do list sync when you're already struggling under too many things to do. But many popular apps still don't sync seamlessly. Today we're going to look at a new beautifully designed to-do list app that blows all of this away: Wunderlist.
The 24 Best Apps to Remember Everything You Discover Online

With little effort, you'll have a curated set of all your favorite things you've found online. We've scoured the net for 24 of the best webapps that can help you keep up with things you find online no matter where you are. Chances are you already use some of them, but keep reading to find some new ones that might be the perfect solution for you.
10 Handy Web-Based Tools for Bloggers
Blogging, and its rapid rise in popularity as a way to self-publish, is arguably responsible in part for the great proliferation of web apps over the last few years. Back when blogging was only done by early adopters, you'd need to stock your computer with desktop apps – an image editor, an RSS reader, and so on. As bloggers became increasingly mobile, the need for always-accessible applications only got stronger, and today, many bloggers don't need to leave the browser at all to get the job done.
If you're new to blogging, you might be looking for a collection of web apps that will make your life easier. Today's a lucky day for you, then, because you just found ten of them!

Thoughts and Reflections on Apple's Product Release Cycle
With this week's release of the iPad 2 (in the USA, at least), I know that many of you will now be sitting at home feeling ever so slightly less satisfied with the original iPad sat on your desk. It's a strange phenomenon. Your iPad is no less amazing today than it was last week, but it feels that way!
Very few Apple fans can afford to buy each and every new product release, and the feeling of being slightly "out of date" is something that we've all come to accept as the norm. This isn't exactly a bad thing. Let's face it – a twelve month old iPad is still a long, long way ahead of any other competing device on the market.
But how does Apple's release cycle operate, and is their approach working?

Digital Flow Control for Plasma Cutting
The control consists of three independent modules. The first, the TSC-3000, reportedly offers the only touchscreen controller available in the plasma industry, allowing operators to quickly choose one of potentially thousands of stored programs and start cutting by touching the Go button.
The DMC-3000 functions as the central manifold for all incoming gases. With seven inputs and five outputs, this unit facilitates which gas will be used according to the program selected. A small footprint enables the module to be placed on top of the power supply or mounted to a gantry.
The third module, the Digital Pressure Control (DPC-3000), controls gas flow and pressure to optimize cutting. The unit normally ismounted within 4 ft. of the cutting torch to minimize switching time between processes.

The final part of my Canmake Haul are these Color Sticks, multi use lip balm sized sticks of goodness!
You know I love a gimmick!
These color sticks (have omitted the 'u' because they are called COLOR sticks and don't want to confuse although by pointing this out I have probably confused you more) can be used to perfect, conceal and shade the skin.
They are once again inexpensive to buy – and as a bonus they are pigment free, unperfumed and parben-free.
"This is not only a concealer that will cover flaws in your complexion; it is a multi-purpose cosmetic stick in a range of colors that can be used to cheeks and as highlighters to provide luster, translucence and definition."
Here are the colours – each one has a recommended function:
I got Yellow Beige for redness on spots and around my nose, Apricot for under the eyes, Beige Ochre for contouring and Crystal White for highlighting.
I was originally after White, but reader Kuri who helped me get the haul found that it was hard to get hold of, most likely discontinued.
Love the idea of them, but do they work or are they just sticks of creamy mess?
1. 07 Canmake Color Stick in Apricot
A soft light peach colour – reminded me of the salmon concealers that the likes of Eve Pearl recommend for dark circles as opposed to a harsh yellow concealer.
I used it here:
I think it worked rather well! At first, theres a moment of fear as a the bright peach goes on to the skin but then I realised, it works very well and in a natural manner at lighting dark circles.
I will say that this colour stick (in fact all of them bar the Crystal white) are very creamy and soft. Thus you can be gentle with it to avoid putting too much on!
Blending is easier though, since its creamy and rich.
I like!
2. 01 Yellow Beige Canmake Color Stick
This yellow is apparently good for redness around the nose etc. I am extremely flushed most of the time with redness around the nose and cheeks.
I like the idea of using a pale yellow over a green – I have green concealers but I do find they still look a little…well…green..
"Do you have food poisoning?"
"No, no. That's my concealer at work."
No red nose for you though, I was picking at a spot and this happened:
I dabbed the yellow on the spot – note its a little, urm, crusty and no concealer de-crusts.
Note how pale the yellow beige actually is on the skin:
I dabbed this in and it did blend in quite well – it NEUTRALIZED, almost immediately which is what I wanted.
You can see it did cling to the dry bits but like I said, when you have a slightly crusty spot or scab or whatever, its difficult for any concealer to not hold to to those areas. Foundation and powder would go on top anyhow.
I like this – I would save it for neutralising red rather than concealing though.
3. 06 Beige Ochre Canmake Color Stick
I was the most excited about Beige Ochre – this one I wanted for shading. I love my Nars Multiple in Tuomota for contouring, its so quick, its matte with no sparkles and a perfect brown.
Being a fat stick though its hard to contour, hence this Canmake is the perfect size for nose shading (which I'd like to do but in theory have no time to every do!).
I applied Beige Ochre to under my cheekbone:
Unfortunately (I seem to be getting darker in my old age) its too light for me! It just about blends into my skin, it doesn't contour really. Such a shame!
After – little difference:
They need to do a darker shade and it would be perfect! I did find a use for it though – lip concealer for a neutral base to work with:
I got an email recently asking if I wear foundation and concealer on my lips out – the answer is no – I think most ladies who do this, do it to neutralize the lips and get an even base to work with. Ok?!
Anyway beige ochre – nice color but too light for contouring if you are a NC35 +
04. 10 Crystal White Canmake Color Stick
Finally Crystal White, a sheerer version of white!
This is one of the newer sticks and I can tell that the formula is harder to work with – it needs a bit more warming up, its not as creamy.
I applied some of this to the corners of my eye:
It did an ok job actually at adding luminosity and this can be used on the nose, near the cupids bow, anywhere you want to highlight so its a pretty useful stick for all.
Like I said, the texture is not as rich as the others, but I can imagine its more flattering that the original white color stick which was a stark, matte white.
So yes, its a useful one but not as nice as the others to use.
So that is my Canmake Haul!

- An Arsonist's Guide to Writers' Homes in New England by Brock Clarke
- What made this novel uncomfortably but hysterically funny to me was how likable the protagonist becomes, even as he physically and emotionally devastates everything he touches, and struggles to mis-interpret his experience in novel ways. The novel (and our reading of other novels, our attempts to square our experience with our actions, our attempts to justify our existences) is summed up by the judge, just before sentencing him to 10 years in prison for burning Emily Dickinson's home.
" '...Mr. Pulsifer, can a story actually be blamed for arson and murder?' 'Huh,' I said, then acted as if I were thinking about the question, which I should have been..."

As this school year approaches, our situation is different than it has been in a very long time when it comes to child care. We have two children enrolled in school full time, with another child in a full-time preschool setting.
In other words, the era of crushing child care costs is pretty much behind us. There was a period where we spent almost $20,000 in a single year on child care. That era is long gone.
When I look back to that time before our first child was born, when we were searching for the right child care and trying to figure out what we should be doing, I feel a sense of pride mixed with regret. We did some things absolutely right and we did a few other things completely wrong.
Here's the advice I would give to Sarah and myself circa 2005 regarding child care and child care costs.
First, look at your own schedules and see how you can minimize child care costs. If you're looking at child care, that likely means you've eliminated the possibility of one parent staying at home with the child (or children). However, that doesn't mean that you truly need full-time child care.
Both parents should look at the possibility of telecommuting, if at all possible. Even if it's just one day a week, it can save money. Both parents should look for alternative scheduling options. Can one or both of you work ten hours a day, four days a week?
If you can reduce the number of days in a week that you're going to need childcare, then you're going to significantly reduce your child care costs. This is particularly true if you have multiple children involved.
Second, consider a co-op service with other families. If you know of other families that have very young children or are expecting, talk to them about sharing child care instead of paying for a service.
For example, if you're available on Thursdays and Fridays to care for children, your wife is available on Sundays and Mondays to care for children, and you find another couple who have free days on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays, then you're pretty much all set for child care. Seek even more parents to make this circle work better, so that you're perhaps watching three kids two days a week in exchange for free child care on the other days.
If professional couples are all committed to finding somewhat alternative schedules to allow for child care, this can work really well. Work together to come up with a schedule that enables all of you to avoid the costs and stress of professional child care.
Another option is to tap into extended families. If you're expecting and your parents are nearby, they can be a great option for handling some of the child care burden for you.
This is a situation that depends heavily on the family dynamic, of course, but if we had lived closer to either of our parents, we would have taken advantage of this option. Not only does this allow for a very strong bond to build between grandparent and grandchild, it can take some serious pressure off of your child care needs.
If you're still seeking child care, evaluate a ton of child care options. Visit as many as you possibly can in the weeks before the child's arrival.
The more you visit, the more you're going to know about what to expect from different child care options. You'll know what's going to cost you, you'll be able to figure out what kind of standards you expect at a minimum, and after a while, you'll start to get a great grasp of what services provide the most "bang for the buck" for you.
This is one thing that Sarah and I did fairly well at the time. We visited a lot of child care homes and centers in the months before the birth of our first child. Sarah had quite a few preconceptions about what she was looking for, as did I. Unfortunately, as we went through the search, we found that our preconceptions didn't really line up with each other, nor did they line up well with what was actually available.
We visited three places at first and were somewhat ready to commit to one of them before a friend strongly encouraged us to visit more places. If we had made that commitment instead of continuing our search, we would have wound up with child care we would have been unhappy with over the long haul. Instead, we ended up finding what we now consider to be the absolute best "bang for the buck" in terms of child care in the area.
When you're searching and feeling confident about a center or home, research those businesses. Do background checks and make sure that you're leaving your child with someone reputable.
Finally, start saving now. As soon as you know a child is coming – or even as soon as you're planning for one – start saving for the expenses related to that child. Child care will be one of the biggest during the child's early years.
Here's the truth: children are expensive. When they come into your life, they're going to gobble down resources like Pac-Man. Saving in advance of the child's arrival helps in two ways.
First, you get used to a spending routine with less available cash. You're going to have to pay for this baby's meals, clothes, child care, and other expenses in just a few months, so putting a couple hundred a week into savings will help you ease into this new routine before you have to walk the tightrope for real.
Second, you'll have a big "child emergency fund" in the bank when the baby does arrive. That way, when you are walking that tightrope, a little problem doesn't mean a quick plunge into debt. You have a safety net already in place.
Taking care of a child is challenging and expensive. Taking charge of these changes and expenses before the baby arrives in a sensible and logical manner will make this all go much easier.

Two-stage adaptive designs with test statistics with arbitrary dependence structure based on the inverse normal method
Search Medline for
|September 13, 2012
Adaptive designs were originally developed for independent test statistics. This is true for example if the data for each stage come from different units and are normally distributed with known variance. Another possibility to get independent test statistics is to exploit the independent increment structure of some statistical models. Sometimes it may not be possible to satisfy these conditions or to check whether they are satisfied. In these cases, the test statistics and p-values of each stage may be dependent. Depending on the design parameters and on the true dependence structure between the p-values of the stages, the decisions can become conservative as well as anticonservative. In general, there will be uncountable dependence structures. For example, the joint distribution of the test statistics from the stages need not be bivariate normal even if the test statistics of each stage are univariate normal. We investigate the type I error of two-stage adaptive designs if any dependence structure between the test statistics from the stages is assumed to be admissible (worst case scenario). For this purpose, we perform analytical considerations under the restriction that the conditional error function is given according to the inverse normal method. We discuss how the significance level of the unweighted inverse normal design is inflated in the worst case as compared to the situation of independent stages. On this basis the decision boundary for the second stage can be modified so that the type I error is controlled in the worst case and thus for any dependence structure.

30-and-out clause at risk in CAW-Detroit 3 talks
The Detroit Three automakers are demanding an end to a contract provision that allows autoworkers with 30 years service to retire with a full pension, according to the Canadian Auto Workers.
Negotiators for Ford, Chrysler and General Motors are telling their union counterparts that the "30-and-out" clause in the collective agreement is too expensive and is "inhibiting bigger profits," Dino Chiodo, president of CAW Local 444 and head of the union's Chrysler master bargaining committee said Wednesday.
CAW members at the Detroit Three do not contribute to their pension plan. The plan is funded through company contributions, although under the 2009 contract new hires will have to contribute to their pensions.
Contract talks, which officially kicked off Aug. 14, are on hold as the CAW stages its week-long bargaining and constitutional convention in Toronto. The two sides are set to resume talks Monday. The current contract expires after midnight Sept. 17.
Chiodo said the union will fight to keep the 30-and-out benefit. "We're standing firm on 30-and-out," he said. "Our members should be able to leave so we can provide good paying jobs for other individuals in the community."
The benefit has allowed autoworkers to retire early, with some leaving while still in their 40s.
A line worker, for example, would receive a total monthly pension of $3,515 to age 65, said. Jo-Ann Hannah, the CAW's director of pensions and benefits. At 65, the amount would total $2,055 a month.
All three automakers are seeking a contract that reduces the gap between CAW and UAW hourly labour costs in the United States.
Ford, for example, has said it was targeting wages and benefits, while Faye Roberts, GM spokeswoman, would only reiterate Wednesday the automaker's state goal of reducing costs.
"Our total hourly compensation package needs to be competitive within North America," said Roberts. "Exactly how we get there is what we will discuss with our labour partners. We are optimistic we can work with our CAW partners to overcome challenges together, find creative solutions, ensure we are competitive and come to an agreement that is a win-win for everyone."
Pensions are emerging as a key issue amid vows by CAW leaders to ensure that both workers and retirees share in the recent success of the Detroit Three.
Rick Reaume, a CAW retiree, who spent more than 40 years at Chrysler's Windsor Assembly Plant, said he hopes the contract will reinstate the pension cost of living allowance.
Without COLA, "my fixed income is not keeping track with inflation," said Reaume. "It was always that few extra dollars that add up when you're on a fixed income."
However, the Detroit Three said they will not agree to any demands that will increase "structural costs" and prefer lump sum payments as way of compensating workers.
Chiodo warned that COLA will be a contentious issue for both active workers and retirees. "It's going to be a challenge to say the least to put that back in place."

AARP: Don't Shrink Social Security's Cost-of-Living Adjustment
By Nancy A. LeaMond , October 30, 2013 11:21 AM
The annual Social Security cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) is critically important to the financial security of the nearly 58 million Americans receiving benefits. By providing protection against inflation, the COLA helps beneficiaries of all ages maintain their standard of living, keeping many from falling into poverty. The COLA announced today is vital to millions, but at an average of just $19 per month, it will quickly be consumed by the rising costs of basic needs such as food, utilities and health care.
Some in Washington, though, would make this small COLA even smaller by including the Chained CPI in a budget deal. The Chained CPI would further lower the COLA for Social Security and veterans benefits with cuts that would start now and grow larger every year. Under Chained CPI, the modest 1.5 percent COLA announced today would be reduced, putting increasing strain on millions of beneficiaries struggling to keep up with expenses.
Shrinking the COLA could also negatively impact our still-fragile national economy, since every dollar of Social Security benefits generates about two dollars of economic activity. Recent research by the AARP Public Policy Institute calculated that spending of Social Security benefits added about $1.4 trillion in total economic output to the U.S. economy in 2012.
We know that any adjustments Washington makes to Social Security will have a profound effect on individuals of all ages, businesses and our economy as a whole. That's why AARP is fighting the Chained CPI and calling for a national conversation about the future of Social Security - so those who paid into the system can have a voice in the debate and so current and future generations get the benefits they've earned.
Additional resources on the Chained CPI, including a calculator showing how individual benefits would be impacted by the Chained CPI, are at www.earnedasay.org.

Timeline of Michael Dunn - Jordan Davis case | News
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Friday, November 23rd: Police were called to a shooting at the Gate gas station located at Baymeadows Road and Southside Boulevard.
Several teenagers were in a red SUV when a gas station customer, reported to be Michael Dunn, complained about their loud music. That lead to a verbal confrontation and ended with the suspect Dunn firing several rounds into the SUV, killing one of the passengers, later identified as 17-year-old Jordan Davis.
First Coast News staffers said it was obvious by the crime scene that the circumstances were unique.
Saturday, November 24th: 45-year old Michael Dunn is arrested at his Brevard County condominium on a warrant from Duval County. He is charged with the death of 17-year-old Davis, who was revealed to be a student at Wolfson High School.
Sunday, November 25th: FCN reporter Michelle Quesada was the only journalist in Satellite Beach as the Dunn family gathered to pray in the backyard of their home.
Monday, November 26th: FCN cameras were there as Dunn made a court appearance in Brevard County. His attorney declared that Dunn fired shots into the vehicle because he felt threatened.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said the teenager was not armed. Police also said that Dunn was in Jacksonville after attending his son's wedding in Clay County. He fled the scene after the shooting, not knowing someone had been killed, according to his attorney.
Tuesday, November 27th: The suspect, Dunn, is extradited from Brevard County to the Duval County Jail on charges of murder and attempted murder. For the first time, Dunn's attorney contradicts JSO and claims the teens were armed with a shotgun.
Wednesday, November 28th: Dunn waives his first court appearance and is being kept in the Duval County pretrial detention facility without bond. A visitation for Davis was held in Mandarin on this day.
Thursday, November 29th: Davis' body was put on a plane headed to Georgia.
Friday, November 30: A visitation for Davis was held outside of Atlanta.

WASHINGTON — The protests that erupted last week in Wisconsin have attracted attention not only across the United States, but even as far away as Egypt. One of those out-of-state observers, Maine state Rep. Diane Russell (D), has decided that what is happening in Madison is so important — even to her own Northeastern state — that she has decided to pack up a vehicle and drive all the way out there with three of her friends to join the fight.
"I wanted to be there to show solidarity," said Russell in an interview Sunday evening with The Huffington Post as she was driving through New Hampshire. "I'm coming because if the levees break in Madison, everyone gets flooded."
Russell has been raising money through her website for the trip, which includes providing protesters with hot chocolate, coffee and hand-warmers — cold-weather necessities for standing outside for hours in Wisconsin. She said that she had raised more than $1,000 in total. She is also tweeting and posting updates about her trip.

Ehealth Africa Conference – Integrating Mhealth Into Ehealth Strategy Implementation
The AfDB is Sponsoring a multi-stakeholder conference in Nairobi Kenya on the 18th and 19th of April 2012. Hosted by the Government of Kenya, in collaboration with Anadach Consulting Group and Tele-Health Society of Kenya, the conference will identify best practices and lessons learned from previous experiences of developing national eHealth strategies. One of the first of its kind in Africa, the event will also focus on integrating mHealth into eHealth strategy implementation.
eHealth encompasses the delivery of clinical information, care and services using Information Communication Technoloy (ICT). Africa has the fastest growing mobile phone market in the world with over half of all African using them. With such powerful technology already in the hands of millions, mobile technology can be used to leverage health care delivery through a number of innovative solutions using mobile devices, commonly referred to as mHealth.
For the telecommunications industry, a rapidly growing mHealth sector could represent a significant market opportunity, accelerated by the enhanced availability of java-enabled phones and mobile services in several countries.
For health and ICT entrepreneurs, this new platform creates an opportunity to develop innovative ideas that address existing problems or create new solutions to improve healthcare. Many African countries are not on track to meet the UN's Millennium Development Goals related to health so the need for innovation has never been greater.
This conference would provide an opportunity to discuss and learn from the implementation of Kenya's new eHealth strategy, encourage knowledge sharing and foster new relationships and networking opportunities, not only among Kenyan stakeholders but also with stakeholders from other parts of Africa and other regions. Some of the objectives of the conference include:
- To promote knowledge exchange between countries that have developed national eHealth strategies and with others who are in the process of developing theirs.
- To provide a platform for facilitating the implementation of Keya's new eHealth strategy by bringing together key stakeholders from within and outside the country.
- To present the latest developments and innovations in m- and eHealth in Africa and other markets.
Conference Highlights
Hear the latest challenges, opportunities and successful case studies in eHealth. Topics will include:
- A review of eHealth in Africa- opportunities & challenges.
- The role of regulators in developing the e-Health space in Africa.
- Successful eHealth programs from across the continent and globe-at large.
- Support, communications and training for health workers.
- Selecting the right partners to enable scaling up.
- The role of the operator in eHealth.
- Delivering innovative healthcare via mobile phones.
- Building your business case for profitable mobile health deployments in emerging markets.

The ELC Wrestling Team has literally been on the road this season. They have traveled to Humboldt, Manly, Hull, Emmetsburg, Orange City, Spencer, Cherokee and Graettinger. On Tuesday, Jan. 10, the boys will be hosting their only home double dual meet against Algona and Okoboji. ELC will face off against Algona at 6. Algona and Okoboji will wrestle next. The night will end with the Midgets wrestling the Pioneers. This will also be "senior night" for Lee Bates, Ryan Behne, Gable Bonner, Aaron Howing, Evan Howing, Dakota Knaack, Cole Mace and Andy Segura. On Saturday, Jan. 14, ELC will be hosting their duals tournament. Wrestling begins at 9 a.m. I encourage the community to get out and support our wrestling team. I am looking forward to seeing the Midget Maniacs show their spirit.
Wrestling is a very unique sport. It is both a team and an individual sport. Wrestling is also a complicated sport to understand. There are so many different ways wrestlers are awarded points. But it is also a very exciting sport! A wrestler can be behind by 14 points with less than five seconds to go in a match and still win. Even if you do not understand wrestling, come out to the gymnasium and show your support!
The boys will be traveling to Emmetsburg again on Jan. 19 for a double dual against Emmetsburg and LeMars. ELC will be wrestling the second and third duals. This will be covered on KUOO Hot Y100. So if you are unable to make the short trip to Emmetsburg, you can hear the live coverage on KUOO Hot Y 100! God Midgets!
An ELC Midget Fan,
Kathy Foster

This post is in tribute to those people who spontaneously pitched in to help us with schwag collection or in other ways during the week. We are truly grateful for the support and friendship you gave us, and we think that it's very much in the spirit of this endeavor that you became Schwagineers with such conviction–there was no stopping you! I'm especially talking about Pastor Dave and Espree Devora, who took time out of their conference schedules to help out in big ways. Shannon Clark also pitched in, and Mike Prasad and Jeremy Broekman lent preparation support in LA. Anna Reidinger hosted the wagon in Turlock, CA.
Thank you!

Creativity in the mathematics classroom is not just about what pupils do but also what we do as teachers. If we are thinking creatively about the mathematical experiences we offer our pupils we can. . . .
Presentation given at the MEI conference in Reading 2005
This article is based on some of the ideas that emerged during the production of a book which takes visualising as its focus. We began to identify problems which helped us to take a structured view. . . .
This article stems from research on the teaching of proof and offers guidance on how to move learners from focussing on experimental arguments to mathematical arguments and deductive reasoning.
In this article, the NRICH team describe the process of selecting solutions for publication on the site.
Need some help getting started with solving and thinking about rich tasks? Read on for some friendly advice.
Kirsti Ashworth, an NRICH Teacher Fellow, talks about her experiences of using rich tasks.
In this article, Jennifer Piggott talks about just a few of the problems with problems that make them such a rich source of mathematics and approaches to learning mathematics.
Here are examples of how two schools set about the task of ensuring that problem solving was an integral part of their curriculum.
Jenny Piggott reflects on the event held to mark her retirement from the directorship of NRICH, but also on problem solving itself.
Basic strategy games are particularly suitable as starting points for investigations. Players instinctively try to discover a winning strategy, and usually the best way to do this is to analyse. . . .
The NRICH team are always looking for new ways to engage teachers and pupils in problem solving. Here we explain the thinking behind maths trails.
