The NLCS is supposed to be fair coverage of a sporting event by TBS. Yet, it seems like every time something has happened for Dodgers in the series so far, the TBS broadcast crew has gone crazy in enthusiasm for the Dodger blue. Many fans have now made the choice to mute the volume of the broadcast now and are searching for ways to get the Phillies radio feed to coincide with the TV broadcast.
This wasn't the case in the Divsion Series that the Phillies were in, I thought that this was one of the best announced series that I've ever heard a broadcast crew do in the Phils vs Rockies series. They were very impartial for the most part and didn't favor one team or the other for the most part. The crew there did a great job. Let's look at both crews and see who they are.
The phillies / rockies division series announcers for tbs:
|Brian Anderson
|Play by play
|Joe Simpson
|David Aldridge
|Field reporter
Brian Anderson and Joe Simpson were great, they were for the most part just announcing the game. Not reading into things and interjecting their personal feelings about the game. Brian Anderson is the Milwaukee Brewers play by play announcer in the regular season. He was named that in Jan. of 2007. Joe Simpson is in his 15th year as the Atlanta Braves announcer working for TBS. The duo made this Divsion Series fun to listen to for me.
The Phillies / dodgers LCS announcers for tbs:
|Chip Caray
|Play by play
|Ron Darling
|Buck Martinez
|Craig Sagar
|Field reporter
Chip Caray might as well send the LA Dodgers his resume as he sounds like he is an announcer for them most of the time. Caray of course is an Atlanta Braves broadcaster and his grandfather was the famous Chicago Cubs announcer named Harry Caray. The other two guys on the broadcast are meddling in the middle of all of Caray's antics and it makes this broadcast sound more like a science experiment than a baseball game. There is too much speculation and comments from the balcony in Martinez, though Darling does sound like he's trying to maintain a professional atmosphere. All in all this is not a good broadcast team at all, even the Yankee fans were glad to see tham move on from the coverage they did of the ALDS.

Vulnerability and tenderness animate Kobi Israel's large-scale portraits of Israeli men, many of them soldiers, photographed in private and personal spaces that hint at their inner lives. Although many are partially nude, the relationship with the viewer is not so much voyeuristic as it is empathetic.
Many of Israel's images recall his own sexual awakening in the intense atmosphere of bonding and camaraderie that characterizes military service. More recently, Israel has brought the same intimacy to bear on his portraits of Cuban men, in whose lives he finds echoes of the Israeli society of his youth.
What drew you to photograph Israeli soldiers?
Like most Israelis, I joined the army at the age of 18. I took it for granted -- it was a part of life. I didn't feel anything erotic about wearing a uniform or having communal showers with other young men; if anything, I was confused and horrified about my sexuality. When I moved to London, I found many people fascinated by the fact that I had served in the army for three years. I started seeing things from their perspective, from a "foreign" eye -- the distance in time and place made me reflect on the challenges and conflicts I faced back then. So it was, in fact, that foreign gaze -- seeing things from someone else's eyes -- that drew me to shoot "Views," my portraits of Israeli men.
What's the relationship between Cuba and Israel in your work?
Although for me Cuba is a foreign land and society, I discovered many parallel experiences to my youth and adolescence in Israel, many similarities between the societies and their inherited macho/homoerotic conflicts and paradoxes.
Traveling in remote villages and small towns in Cuba, socializing with the locals (a bottle of rum will do), dining at their tables, I found myself having an extremely passionate experience of falling in love with a local Cuban cowboy. This secret, forbidden affair that lasted for several weeks evoked deep emotions and feelings that led to this work.

RICHMOND, Va. – The VCU Baseball team suffered a one-run loss to visiting Towson, in game two of a three game series against the Tigers, on Saturday at The Diamond.
Down 2-1 late, the visiting Tigers pushed across two runs in the top of the ninth off VCU junior pitcher Blake Hauser, to hand Hauser his first loss of the 2012 campaign. Towson improves to 6-6 overall and 1-1 in CAA play, while VCU drops to 9-6 overall and 1-1 in conference play.
"We let them stay game and it came back to bite us in the end," said VCU head coach Paul Keyes. "We had our chances with getting runners in scoring position, but were unable to come away with those hits to the outfield to score the runners and gives us that cushion we needed. Today's game remained tight throughout as a result and Towson did a better job of executing in the end."
The Rams started off the game with a run in the bottom of the first inning, with sophomore outfielder Bill Cullen driving a double down the left field line to start things off. The Colonial Heights, Va., native came around to score on a single through the left side by junior infielder Jordan Weymouth.
The Rams got themselves out of a bases loaded jam with no outs in the top of the fourth inning, behind some slick defensive play. VCU pitcher Ryan Farrar forced the batter into hitting a fly ball to left field, which allowed the runner to score from third. Senior outfielder Paul Nice made the catch and threw the ball towards home, which sophomore infielder Joey Cujas cut off and fired over in time to nail the runner sliding into third. Freshman Vimael Machin applied the tag at third, before throwing out the advancing runner at second for a triple play.
Cullen got things going again for the Rams in the bottom of the sixth, hitting a single through the right side of the infield. Weymouth laid down a sacrifice bunt to move Cullen to second, before Cullen advanced to third on a wild pitch. Cujas roped a single through the left side to score Cullen.
The Tigers came back to win the game in the top of the ninth, starting the inning off with a pair of walks off Hauser. After a sacrifice bunt put the two runners on second and third with one out, Brandon Gonella lined a single through the left side to score both runner and hand Towson the 3-2 advantage.
Towson and VCU will close out the series on Sunday at 1 p.m. at The Diamond; the winner of the game will take the season series.

5 mistakes to avoid when filing taxes early
Early Birds Should Be Careful Have you been waiting patiently to file your taxes? If so, you're in luck.
Early Birds Should Be Careful
Have you been waiting patiently to file your taxes? If so, you're in luck. The 2018 tax season is now underway. January 28, 2018, was the first day that the IRS would accept tax returns for the 2017 tax year, either electronic or paper copies. (You can mail in paper copies at any time, but they won't be processed until the tax season kickoff date set by the IRS.)
Why file your taxes early? A better question is: Why leave taxes hanging over your head until April and then spend a stressful week trying to complete your return? In addition, filing early can thwart any identity thieves trying to file a false return in your name and if you have a tax refund coming, why wouldn't you want to get it as soon as possible?
Even so, early filers must take care to avoid mistakes that negate the benefits of an early return. Go-getters should consider the following pitfalls of filing early before making their decision.
1. Forgetting Forms Understatement of the Day: Tax forms are not always straightforward, and it's not always obvious which forms you need to receive before filing.
Taxpayers with multiple income sources need a W-2 or 1099 form covering each source where you earned at least $600 throughout the year. If the IRS receives the matching copy without your submission, at best there will be a delay in processing your form. Penalties may apply, and, at worst, an audit may follow. In addition, remember that even if you didn't receive a 1099 from an income source of less than $600, you still must report the income.
Generally, W-2, 1098, and 1099 forms must be supplied to employees and self-employed contractors by January 31, although some 1099 forms have a deadline of February 15 and K-1 forms can take even longer. Review all of the forms that may apply and verify that you have received all necessary forms before filing your return.
Don't forget outgoing forms as well as incoming ones, especially if you itemize. Many credits and deductions require submission of a separate form to show proof of eligibility and to calculate proper amounts.
2. Ignoring 1095 Health Form Requirements If you bought health insurance on the exchange for the 2017 tax year, don't be fooled by the published changes in the recent Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. You will still receive a 1095 form indicating proof of health insurance coverage for 2017. The individual mandate that requires health insurance coverage has been removed, but the changes won't take effect until the tax year 2019 (to be filed in 2020).
To add to the confusion, the IRS threw in a curveball by stating earlier in 2017 that, for the first time, returns will be rejected if the taxpayer does not verify health insurance coverage on the tax form. You still don't have to include the 1095 with your submission, but you do need to indicate coverage on the form.
3. Failing to Double-Check Information
Did you sign your form? Did you double-check your math? Did you download the correct year's forms and instructions? It's very easy to forget the simple things when you're in a hurry. Review your form before submitting it, and if possible, take a few minutes between filing and submission. It's difficult to proofread anything immediately after it's finished.
4. Filing an Amended Form Incorrectly
Let's say that you find a math error in your form or realize that you forgot to include a 1099 form after an early filing. Should you immediately follow up with an amended form? No. The IRS will correct your math errors and notify you about any missing forms.
However, you should file an amended return for changes in filing status, income modifications, or deduction/credit changes. Don't start over with a new 1040 form use Form 1040X, indicating only the relevant changes. Amended returns must be paper copies no electronic filing allowed.
5. 2018 Contributions to 2017 Taxes Several transactions that can be made in 2018 can affect your 2017 tax submissions. For example, you have up until the tax deadline (April 17 for 2018) to make contributions to your IRA and have them count against the 2017 tax year assuming you properly identify the contributions as being for 2017. If you have already filed your 2017 tax forms, you would have to file an amended return to make a contribution affecting the previous year.
The Takeaway
There are many good reasons to file your taxes early, but don't sacrifice accuracy for speed. Make sure that you have all the required forms and that any transactions that will affect the 2017 tax year have already taken place. Review your tax form carefully before signing and submitting it to the IRS.
Nobody wants to spend any more than the minimum amount of time doing taxes, but think of it as an investment. Double check-your work and you'll be more likely to avoid filing an amended return and possibly incurring an IRS audit. The money you'll save in antacids alone is well worth it.
Get your Refund Fast and File your Taxes for Free.

Ludwick dislocates shoulder, to undergo MRI
CINCINNATI -- A 3-1 loss in 13 innings to the Angels on Opening Day already had the Reds feeling worse for wear even before the game was even over.
Left fielder Ryan Ludwick exited in the third inning Monday with a dislocated right shoulder. He is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Tuesday to determine the extent of the injury.
"It's sort of disheartening," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "You hate to see a guy come off the field holding his arm like that. We've been doing so good the last couple of years without injuries. It's just a temporary setback."
During the bottom of the third inning, with Jay Bruce batting, Ludwick was on first base after taking a walk when pitcher Jered Weaver delivered a wild pitch. The runner on third base, Shin-Soo Choo -- who had doubled for his first Reds hit -- scored to make it a 1-1 game just ahead of catcher Chris Iannetta's throw to Weaver, who covered home plate. Ludwick alertly ran from first base to third base and slid headfirst.
That's where trouble happened. Ludwick's right arm got caught under his body.
"I was trying to be aggressive," Ludwick explained. "I saw Jered arguing at the plate. I saw an opening where I could get to third. I got there. The ground was a little wet, and when I slid headfirst, my hand hit the ground and it stopped. It just stayed there and my shoulder popped out a little bit. Not the best Opening Day I've had, but hopefully it will be good news tomorrow."
Chris Heisey pinch-ran for Ludwick and took over in left field for the top of the fourth inning. The solid fourth outfielder is a good bet to get more playing time as a result, but Ludwick's injury is still a big blow for the Reds offensively.
"It's one reason you discourage guys from going in headfirst," Baker said. "Only a few guys know how to do it. There are a lot of things that can happen badly to your hands, your elbows or your shoulders, as you see tonight."
Ludwick had his right arm in a sling after the game and said he was being treated with ice. He did not know how long he might be out.
"The good thing is when it went back in the socket, I got instant relief," Ludwick said.
After he hit 26 home runs with 80 RBIs in his first season with the Reds last year, Ludwick was re-signed to a two-year, $15 million contract in December. He batted only .220 with one homer in Spring Training but was coming on strong in the final days of camp.
"It's terrible," Ludwick said. "I don't think anyone wants to get hurt. It's funny, because I was really starting to feel good at the plate the last five games or so of spring. I was seeing the ball real good. I was seeing the ball real good today. I put together good at-bats. One aggressive play, it happened. If I had to do it over again, I'd probably do the same thing. It's just a freak accident. I couldn't help it."

ROCHESTER — What is the M.L. Photography Birthday Project?
Basically, instead of asking others for things for yourself on your birthday, you switch it up and give to others. The purpose is to do the whole pay it forward thing. Its a pretty amazing thing to see, once the ripple effect hits.
My birthday is in January.. the big 29... the last year of my 20's... and I have been racking my brain trying to figure out how to spend that last year making it awesome.. I thought of trips, I thought of a giant party.. and then it hit me... Why not spend that last year of my 20s helping others?
Then I was stuck.. well, what do I do? Do I volunteer more, do I help strangers, do I babysit... etc... After praying on it, I got my answer... Birthday Project M.L. Photography style. I will be giving away 29 free photo sessions.
But here is the catch. The families that get these sessions have to deserve them.. and I want to know why. I want you to nominate the families that stick out in the community.
Who do you know that helps shovel snow in the winter for the older couple across the street? Who do you know that helps that family that can't make ends meet sometimes?
Better yet, what about that family that is barely making it, and can't afford extra things -- like family photos?
Send me a comment on my Facebook page ( https://www.facebook.com/MLphotographyTardif?ref=hl ), or if its a private personal matter, message me. ( firstname.lastname@example.com ) I want to know my community. I want to show that good deeds do not or should not go unnoticed.
I want that hard-working father supporting a family on a single income to know he is doing great...even if he doesn't feel like it. I want that momma that works two jobs and goes to school to know that it will pay off in the end.
I want all these people that struggle, or go the extra mile to help others and never ask anything in return, to in fact, get something in return.
Each month I will be picking families, maybe one or maybe more, but at the end of the year I do know that at least 29 families will have had their photos taken. I will give them the photos free of charge as well. In most places, this can be a value of over $250 and up..
The families selected for this will never be published as " the needy family" or "deserving family" Families selected for this project will be kept confidential unless noted otherwise.
So there we have it... my mission for this next year... for goal for to meet before I turn 30. Lets do this!
Persons nominating someone can email me at email@example.com.
Or: on Facebook -- https://www.facebook.com/MLphotographyTardif?ref=hl.

In a previous post I described how to host a COM server in a managed process using RegistrationServices.RegisterTypeForComClients. I've been using this approach successfully for a while, but today I hit a snag. I changed my C# server process from 32-bit to 64-bit, and immediately my 32-bit C++ client could no longer connect.
In theory it shouldn't matter to the client whether the server is 32-bit or 64-bit – everything is out-of-process so there is no compatibility issue. But I could see that COM was refusing to allow my client to connect to the running 64-bit server process, and instead was trying to launch a new server process (which was failing because I don't allow that).
I have seen this type of problem many times before with COM, and it's almost always due to security configuration – specifically the 'run as' configuration of the server. So I spent a lot of time investigating that, but it turned out to be something much simpler. Since Windows 2003 SP1, COM has a rule on x64 that if a 32-bit client CoCreates an out-of-proc server, COM will try to connect to a 32-bit server. If the client is 64-bit, COM will try to connect to a 64-bit server. So in my case, COM could see that the 64-bit server was running, but because the client was 32-bit it decided to launch a new (hopefully 32-bit) server process to service the request.
Fortunately there are two easy ways around the problem. The first option is to modify the client to specify CLSCTX_ACTIVATE_64_BIT_SERVER in the CoCreateInstance call. The other (probably better) option is to add a PreferredServerBitness flag to the AppID registry entry for the server.
CLSCTX_ACTIVATE_64_BIT_SERVER is described here, and PreferredServerBitness here.

'Blood moon' will be a sight to behold during total lunar eclipse
(CNN) — Prophecy loves signs from the heavens, and they will deliver Tuesday with a moonlight spectacle.
What will happen could sound sort of like this:
The moon will turn to blood as it aligns with Earth and sun
Then do so thrice more ere a year and a half is done,
'Tis not the herald of the apocalypses
Just the first of four total lunar eclipses.
In other words, get ready for an unusually beautiful moon to grace the night skies next week. There will be a total lunar eclipse Tuesday that will turn the moon a burnt reddish orange, NASA says.
It's called a blood moon, and this one is just the first in a series.
Within a year and a half, North America will be able to see a blood moon a total of four times. It gets its color during the eclipse from the shadow the Earth casts, which is the color of a desert sunset.
The four blood moons will occur in roughly six-month intervals on the following dates: April 15, 2014; October 8, 2014; April 4, 2015, and September 28, 2015.
With that frequency, one might be misled into thinking that they are commonplace.
There are about two lunar eclipses per year, NASA says. Some of them — penumbral eclipses — are so subtle, they are vaguely visible and go greatly unnoticed.
Other eclipses just cast a partial shadow on the moon but lend it none of that brilliant sunset hue.
Lunar eclipses — penumbral, partial or umbral — occur in random order, NASA says. Getting four umbral eclipses in a row is like drawing a rare lunar poker hand of four of a kind.
Just like the poker players, astronomers have a name for that lucky draw. It's called a tetrad, NASA says.
In the 21st century, there will be many such tetrads, but look back a few centuries, and you'll find the opposite phenomenon, says NASA's Fred Espenak, who studies eclipses.
Before the dawn of the 20th century, there was a 300-year period when there were none, he said. Zero.
That would mean that neither Sir Isaac Newton, Mozart, Queen Anne, George Washington, Napoleon, Abraham Lincoln nor their contemporaries ever had a chance to see one.
So, we're in luck. To take advantage of it, you'll have to stay up late from Monday night into Tuesday.
For gazing geeks, NASA has set up a live web chat to answer questions about the eclipse starting at 1 a.m. Eastern Time.
The heavenly curtain rises on Tuesday's lunar review around 2 a.m. ET, when the moon starts to slide into Earth's shadow.
It should turn into a blood moon — a coppery red — about an hour later and stay that way for over an hour, NASA says.
The blood moon comes right on time for the Jewish festival of Passover, which commemorates the survival of the ancient Israelites, who the Bible says were spared death when they painted lamb's blood on their doorways.

Hey John
Just saw the Texas Country Reporter. It featured a Dick & Bonnie Cain from Far West, Texas. Could this be Benita's Owners?
It was a real interesting piece.

I have total respect for folks like Bonnie and Dick Cain for the life they have chosen to live. We all can see how much happier they re then the typical suburbanite who are really never truly happy with what they have.
I am a firm believer that the simpler your live is the better you will be.
John I know you used to be in the fashion industry I dont know how you managed to stand it for so long.
I think I could handle the life yall are living but someplace a bit cooler.

winterchill, I was reading your post and thought Id share something with you and anyone else who hasnt experienced the desert heat.
I went from the Arizona desert (115 degrees) to Alaska (60 degrees) in the fall of 1997. I thougth I was gonna freeze to death until the winter really came and then I really got scared. long story short, I got used to it and after a few years I would walk around in shorts and t-shirt in 50 degrees. when I came back to Arizona I thought Id die in the heat. But again I got used to it, and now as I get older I find I can handle the heat much easier than the cold. I have also lived in Georga and I can tell you the desert heat is much easier than the humid south. like john said before. WITH WIND even if its 100 out side in the desert when you take a shower you get cold. EVAP COOLER IS YOUR KEY TO HAPPINESS.
I hope it helped, but then again desert living isnt for everyone.

Marc I am a 3rd generation Texan and have lived in Texas all my live and I have never gotten used to this heat. :) I wished I had of but I have something that makes it really hard on me to deal with the heat. If I could trade Texas in for something cold I would do so in a second, I would miss home but I would never miss Texas summers ;)

Head of the Trent 2014: A First Year Student's Perspective VIDEO: Check out this short video for a look at what Head of the Trent is all about Written by: Scott Gardner, first-year Journalism student I shivered as the crisp, rushing air moved over me and into trees, a shower of red orange and yellow leaves. Rain drops sputtered and splashed the surface of the Otonabee River. The calm before the storm. What could have dragged a young student like myself out of bed at this hour on a Saturday morning? A voice bellowed through a mega phone: "Division one! Boats in the water, Division one!" North America's largest single day regatta race was about to begin, and my first ever Head of the Trent was underway. To be honest I wasn't totally sure what to expect from Head of The Trent, and I got the sense that many of my fellow first years were in the same boat (pardon the pun). Wear something green, check. Post a picture on Instagram of you and all your new university friends wearing green. Okay check. Go to the bridge and scream and yell for all the rowers going underneath. This was the extent of my knowledge going into this weekend; and don't get me wrong, these three steps are definitely important, but in no way do they sum up Head of The Trent, not even close. To describe Head of The Trent in one word? Overwhelming. Activity everywhere you look. Between rowing division races, you could head over to the Athletics Centre to catch a varsity game and cheer on the Trent Excalibur, or grab a hamburger from the barbeque, or take in some live music at the beer garden. All over campus there was some way to let out your Trent spirit, and oh we certainty did plenty of that. What really stood out to me was what was present on my way between the many events – the electric atmosphere of belonging to something bigger, being an integral part of the community here. It is called Trent University's homecoming after all. Smiles and cheers from every passerby, Excalibur young and old just happy and proud to be part of a tradition as rich and warm as the one we have here. Alumni and upper year students stopping to say hello, and ask how I'm enjoying Trent. I repeat, upper year students, talking to me! The freshman!! If I didn't feel at home at Trent already, I most certainly do after this weekend. Every university has an annual homecoming, and I bet it's a pretty good time no matter which one you go to. But Trent has something totally different. It's not just the massive rowing regatta race as the headliner; it's the fact that I truly believe you won't find this type of close knit, family atmosphere at any other university. Everyone becomes your best friend for the day all because you're wearing green! I knew Head of the Trent would be a good time, but I could have never imagined it would have flipped my whole university experience on its head so early on. I no longer feel as if it is me against the grades. I feel like Trent is my home. A place to help mold me into the person I dream of being. A place to offer me a way of celebrating what it means to be a member of the Trent community every year on the banks of the Otonabee. Head of the Trent. A success once again in 2014. See you all next year!

Our team of professionals have the experience and training to fully understand goose behavior. There are many aspects of geese management to consider when trying to alleviate your nuisance goose conflicts.
Our integrated goose management programs take into account seasonal needs of geese and incorporates the most effective control methods. This knowledge and training enables us to successfully implement the proper goose control methods for your property.
Daily Walkway & Entryway Dropping Removal
One of the biggest complaints we hear in regards to Canada geese are their droppings. A single goose can create up to 2.5 pounds of droppings per day! Not only is the feces unsightly, but they can carry parasites like Giardia, Cryptosporidium, Coliform, and Campylobacter. These parasites can be transmitted to adults, children, and pets. Another unsightly side effect of goose droppings is the possible stains and odor that occur in entry ways and carpets. That's why all of our management programs include a daily walk and entry way clearing.
Egg Depredation
When done properly, goose nest removal and egg depredation, also referred to as egg addling, oiling or shaking, is recognized by PETA and HSUS as a humane and effective method to help lower populations over a period of time. Programs like Geesepeace have been formed in areas with severe population issues. Egg depredation is used in conjunction with other abatement programs, such as border collies and/or GooseJuice applications. Geese return yearly to nest where they were hatched. We will assist you in obtaining the necessary goose damage permits from the Ohio Division of Wildlife.
Aggressive Goose Removal
Due to the fact that Canada geese have lost their fear of humans, they tend to nest in areas located next to walk ways or entrances to buildings and businesses. Geese can become increasingly territorial when establishing a nest or incubating eggs. It is not uncommon to witness customers or employees being attacked when nests are located in high foot traffic areas.
Finding a solution for an aggressive Canada goose is difficult because The Federal Migratory Bird Act protects Canada geese, nests, and young. Under this act it is illegal to alter nests, capture, or physically harm geese without a federal or state permit. We are licensed by the Ohio Division of Wildlife and specialize in permanent goose removal solutions.
Habitat Modification
The most preferred habitat for Canada geese are large, unobstructed areas of short, well-watered grass close to open water. These features that attract geese also make urban properties such as: golf courses, business parks, apartment complexes, and parks aesthetically pleasing to clients, residents, and employees. The basic principles of habitat modification include: eliminating, modifying, or reducing access to areas that readily attract geese.
Habitat modification alone cannot eliminate a properties Canada goose population, especially if a flock has established residence by nesting and molting in the area. By combining abatement procedures and habitat modification, the goose population is more likely to decrease.
We have gained vast working knowledge by training with the below organizations:
- The Ohio Division of Wildlife
- The Indiana Department of Natural Resources
- The National Wildlife Control Operators Association
- The United States Department of Agriculture-APHIS
- Various manufactures and distributors of goose control products.
Our humane goose control methods are supported by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, the Humane Society of the United States, and PETA. We can provide a variety of literature and documentation from organizations like PETA and The Humane Society of the United States. These documents explain the need for humane goose control and that our methods are within the standards set by their organizations.

Interview Excerpt: Stephen Ceci on Child Witness Credibility
Research Psychologist Stephen Ceci discusses the psychological factors that must be considered when interviewing young children in judicial settings.
It may come as a surprise to some people that nearly three million young children in the U.S. are interviewed each year by law enforcement, child protection, and mental health professionals.
Child witness testimony can go off track for a variety of reasons, some having to do with biology. Young children's brains aren't fully mature, especially the centers of the brain that are important in tracking and monitoring memories, and discriminating real memories from suggestions, dreams, and fantasies. There are also what we call cognitive or mental reasons. Young children don't know all the strategies to refresh their memories that older children and adults know.
Then there are also social reasons. Young children are more eager sometimes to please the interviewer, and may tell the interviewer what they think he or she wants to hear as opposed to what they really remember. Combine all these reasons with suggestive and repetitive techniques used in questioning and you've got a whole galaxy of cognitive, biological, and social factors that can derail a very young child's testimony.
As a research psychologist, I'm encouraged by the growing interest in how our research can be applied. Judges' organizations and state bar associations request workshops on child witness credibility. Often, those workshops develop into uniform guidelines, manuals, and materials for interviewing children.
Whether testimony is being given in neglect proceedings, child abuse or sexual abuse cases, witness to a crime, or product liability, it's enormously important to maximize the accuracy of what children are saying for their own sake and for the sake of justice.
Dr. Ceci's Web site at Cornell University includes information on his publications as well as a biographical statement. http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/sjc9/bio.html.

Lee dazzles, throws eight shutout frames vs. Braves
ATLANTA -- Manager Charlie Manuel stated the obvious on Thursday when he said that it's easier to head home 1-2 than 0-3.
Then he cracked the slightest hint of a grin.
"We've got hope now," Manuel said, tongue planted firmly in cheek.
The Phillies had started 0-2 four times in the previous seven seasons, including 2007, 2008 and 2009. They finished each of those seasons with National League East championships, winning two NL pennants and one World Series in that span. Of course, those finishes mean nothing in regard to their finish in 2013, but they should have offered a little perspective (and a little relief) to fans back in Philadelphia.
But any anxiety would have only intensified had they lost on Thursday. Everybody in the clubhouse knew that. Fortunately for them, left-hander Cliff Lee pitched like an ace in frigid conditions.
Lee, who had the fourth-worst run support of any pitcher in baseball last season, did not get the geyser of help he probably dreamed about during the offseason, but he got just enough as he dazzled over eight scoreless innings.
He allowed two hits and struck out eight in a masterful performance for a team in desperate need of one.
Oh, he also got the win.
"Last year I got the first win on the Fourth of July," Lee said. "It's nice to get it out of the way on the first one, no doubt."
The heart of the Braves' lineup, which torched Cole Hamels on Monday and Roy Halladay on Wednesday, barely made a peep against Lee. Jason Heyward, Justin Upton and Freddie Freeman entered the night a combined .429 with four home runs and 11 RBIs but went 1-for-9 against Lee.
"In a tough night to pitch and a tough night to play a baseball game, he sure made it look pretty easy," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "He commanded all of his pitches and got to the eighth inning with really no problem."
"They got an early lead and he went out there, settled in and did what good pitchers do," Heyward said.
The Phillies gave Lee some room to breathe early, scoring twice in the second inning to take the lead -- their first lead of the season.
Laynce Nix singled to center and Erik Kratz doubled to left. Braves right-hander Kris Medlen walked Lee to load the bases, the second time the Phillies had the bases loaded in as many innings. Ben Revere hit a ground ball to shortstop Andrelton Simmons, who flipped the ball to second baseman Dan Uggla for the first out, but Uggla could not make the throw to first, giving the Phillies an extra out, and Nix scored to make it 1-0.
Jimmy Rollins walked to reload the bases and Chase Utley hit a sacrifice fly, scoring Kratz and making it 2-0.
Lee handled everything from there.
"It seemed to me the last three innings he got even better," Manuel said. "He was clicking. Good tempo. Good rhythm. He was in sync. He used his pitches, man. That's a typical Cliff Lee game."
Lee could not disagree.
"The first couple of innings, they battled pretty good," Lee said. "I threw 40-some pitches in the first two innings. They forced me to throw more pitches. I got into some deep counts and fouled off some balls. To get eight innings after the first two innings, I was pleased with that. I felt strong the whole time. I was just throwing strikes, getting ahead in the count, make them swing their way on base and let the defense make plays."
Nobody on the Phillies would have panicked had they lost on Thursday. It is not their style. They started 4-11 in 2007, only to clinch the division on the final day of the season. But this victory allowed them to feel a little better about themselves heading into Friday's home opener, against the Royals.
Instead of trying to snap a losing streak, they can work on building a winning streak.
"It's still way early," Lee said. "Obviously, we would have liked to have won all three. ... The first two are behind us. We're just trying to get a win under our belt and fortunately, we were able to do that. Hopefully, we can carry that into Philly and keep the momentum going."

Dem opposition dooms Summers
Larry Summers on Sunday withdrew his name from consideration as chairman of the Federal Reserve, a defeat for President Barack Obama — who could not convince members of his own party to shelve their opposition to his former top economic adviser.
Summers, who previously served as Treasury secretary in the Clinton administration, director of the National Economic Council and president of Harvard, notified President Barack Obama of his decision with a phone call Sunday morning.
Story Continued Below
"Larry was a critical member of my team as we faced down the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, and it was in no small part because of his expertise, wisdom, and leadership that we wrestled the economy back to growth and made the kind of progress we are seeing today," Obama said in a statement Sunday. "I will always be grateful to Larry for his tireless work and service on behalf of his country, and I look forward to continuing to seek his guidance and counsel in the future."

During their call, Summers told Obama he believed there was now too much political opposition to his nomination to move forward, a person familiar with the phone call said. Summers told Obama that his nomination now would create too much political uncertainty for the Fed and could thus be damaging to the economy. Obama accepted Summers' rationale and did not attempt to convince him to continue as a candidate for the Fed job, the person said.
Summers was a top initial candidate for the Fed job among senior current and former White House officials. Obama was also inclined to appoint Summers to the post, people close to the White House said. But the longer time dragged on without a nomination, the more liberal groups and some Democratic senators were able to organize to oppose Summers, who many on the left viewed as too close to Wall Street and not strong enough on financial regulation.
Opposition to Summers among Senate Democrats has been obvious for weeks but it escalated on Friday when Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) announced he would vote against Obama's former economic adviser if he was nominated.
( Also on POLITICO: Paulson: More crises to come)
At least three other Democrats on the Senate Banking Committee were expected to oppose Summers — Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) – raising the politically uncomfortably scenario of Obama needing to rely on Republican votes just to get his choice for a Fed chief out of committee.
Obama has said the other candidates for the job are Fed Vice Chair Janet Yellen and former Fed Vice Chair Donald Kohn. But Summers was said to be the president's first choice and it's unclear if he will fall back on one of these two candidates or look elsewhere.
The term of current Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke ends Jan. 31.

Liberal Democrats' chief complaint with Summers has been the role he played in deregulating financial markets when he served as Treasury Secretary during the Clinton administration. Some, like Merkley, also argued that during the Obama administration, Summers fought against reforms they favored like the trading restrictions known as the Volcker rule.
Earlier this summer, about a third of Senate Democrats signed a letter to Obama endorsing Yellen and progressive and women's groups have also sounded their support for her nomination.

Crucial Concussion Evaluation Info for Coaches
Sports Concussion Protocol
US Youth Soccer has recently adopted a sports concussion protocol. Everyone should develop an awareness and watch for this type of injury.
US Youth Soccer Concussion Resources
US Youth Soccer Concussion Procedure and Protocol
US Youth Soccer Concussion Notification Form
Crucial Concussion Evaluation Info for Coaches
By Dev K. Mishra, M.D.
How should a coach evaluate a young athlete for a possible concussion?
The key word in that first sentence is "possible," meaning that a coach who is not medically trained should not make the definitive diagnosis of a concussion. Your job is to assess the athlete and determine whether you suspect a concussion, remove that athlete from play, and send the athlete for evaluation by a medical professional trained in sports concussion management.
I highly recommend the Pocket SCAT2 concussion assessment tool, which you can download HERE <http://www.sportconcussionlibrary.com/content/concussion-information-coaches-and-first-responders-trainerstherapists> , under the heading "Assessment Tools."
If your athlete has taken contact and has any one of the features noted on the card you should suspect a concussion and remove the athlete from play:
* Loss of consciousness
* Seizure or convulsion
* Amnesia
* Headache
* "Pressure in head"
* Neck Pain
* Nausea or vomiting
* Dizziness
* Blurred vision
* Balance problems
* Sensitivity to light
* Sensitivity to noise
* Feeling slowed down
* Feeling like "in a fog"
* "Don't feel right"
* Difficulty concentrating
* Difficulty remembering
* Fatigue or low energy
* Confusion
* Drowsiness
* More emotional
* Irritability
* Sadness
* Nervous or anxious
The downloads available at the Sports Concussion Library <http://www.sportconcussionlibrary.com/content/concussion-information-coaches-and-first-responders-trainerstherapists> offer more detailed information, and should be studied by coaches.
If the athlete is unconscious, do not move, shake, or attempt to rouse the athlete. Call for emergency medical transportation immediately. Stay with the athlete until help arrives. If the athlete is unconscious it is a medical emergency.
As our knowledge about concussion has improved it's clear to us that the definition of concussion needs to change. Long gone are the days when an athlete needed to be knocked unconscious or close to unconscious before it was deemed a concussion.
We know now that even a headache that happens after contact to the player's head, player's body, or by the ground to the player's body can be an early indicator of a concussion. Essentially, the definition of concussion is quite a bit broader than it once was.
What that means for the coach is that there are going to be a lot more suspected concussions. It means that you'll likely deal with situations where you'll ask yourself questions such as "it's just a headache, do I really have to hold this player out after something like that?"
My advice to you: yes, you need to hold that player out of practice or competition and the player should seek medical attention urgently.
Use your best judgment and be overly cautious.
The final phrasing on the SCAT2 card says what you need very clearly:
"Any athlete with a suspected concussion should be IMMEDIATELY REMOVED FROM PLAY, urgently assessed medically, should not be left alone and should not drive a motor vehicle."

Alice Cooper, Brian May Collaboration Amongst Highlights of Sunflower Jam 2012
Sunday night's Sunflower Jam in London was one of those nights of rock revelry you dream of. Classic rock artists from across the spectrum joined together for one cause, to play a set full of unexpected collaborations and covers. Alice Cooper, Brian May of Queen, John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin and Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden were just a few of the rockers on hand for the annual charity event.
For the sixth straight year Jacky Paice, the wife of Deep Purple drummer Ian Paice, organized an all-star concert to raise money to support alternative and holistic treatments for cancer. The Sept. 16 concert took place at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
May was involved in the night's most impressive collaborations, including 'School's Out' with Cooper (video below) and Deep Purple's 'Black Night.' The finale was an all-star jam featuring May and British singer Kerry Ellis helping out on 'Smoke on the Water.' A complete setlist -- including the folk cover of Guns N' Roses' 'November Rain' -- is available at Queen's official website. More video is available at Bravewords.com.

BEMIDJI, Minn.—Firefighters contained a dining hall blaze at a bible camp in Bemidji before it spread to other buildings.
The fire Wednesday afternoon raced through the dining hall at Oak Hills Bible Camp. Officials believe it may have started in the kitchen.
The camp is owned by Oak Hills Christian College. Vice president Carol Nelson tells the Bemidji Pioneer ( http://bit.ly/18XBaaG) no one was in the building at the time of the fire.
A fishing retreat had just wrapped up Wednesday and another retreat was scheduled for this weekend.

Middle School Book Club
What happens when a book becomes self aware? This idea has intrigued creative minds for centuries. In this class, we'll explore some of the products of this idea, from novels to internet memes to philosophy. Works of metafiction can be strange, hilarious, and mind-expanding – a perfect combination for students seeking an intellectual challenge over the summer.
Each day of class includes lessons designed around the core components of reading, writing, vocabulary, and public speaking. Throughout the day, students engage with several different texts through deep, independent reading and guided analysis. The class features one longer work that students read both in class and at home, and multiple shorter pieces that we close-read together in class. In all of our reading, we emphasize active, critical engagement through annotation – a skill that is vitally important in college, but not often practiced in traditional schools where students do not own their books. Our daily writing exercises are balanced between activities intended to foster a love of writing and lessons that target specific academic writing skills. Students spend time not just writing, but also critiquing, revising, and reflecting on their writing with the guidance of their instructor. Each day also features interactive games and public speaking exercises, including class discussions, structured debates, competitive team activities, and improv games.
Woven into all of our reading, writing, and public speaking activities are key academic vocabulary terms, which are built into the lessons to arise at exactly the right moment when they will be the most relevant and memorable. Students practice this new vocabulary throughout each class, and end every day with a cumulative vocabulary game that challenges them to apply all of the new words they have acquired.
Students will leave this course having fortified their reading and thinking skills, prepared and excited to tackle new texts. In particular, this course aims to help students:
- build more advanced reading skills, including comprehension and analysis,
- foster a sense of pleasure in reading and writing,
- hone more sophisticated writing capabilities,
- expand their academic vocabulary, and
- gain confidence in public speaking.
This two-week course meets Monday through Friday for three hours each day, and is designed for students entering grades 6-8.
Space is very limited for our summer programs. Please do not wait until the last minute to enroll. If there is more than a week before the course starts, a $200 deposit will be due when enrolling, with the balance due one week before the course begins.
There are no classes currently scheduled.
Please check with your AoPS Academy center for information about possible future classes.

Google counters juice V8 Javascript engine
Beta channels primed
The current developer and beta channel releases of Chrome now come with a version of V8 that uses a new counters-based algorithm to decide which functions to optimise, Google has revealed.
Google claimed a 25 per cent increase in speed with Chrome 19, with the updated version of V8, compared to Chrome 18 on SunSpider performance tests.
V8 compiles Javascript in two stages: first to machine code and then optimising it, a fact that means V8 needs to predict what functions to optimise.
Traditionally V8 has stopped once every millisecond to look at the running functions and decide which should be optimised. As the Chromium blog put it: "A single millisecond can be a long time to wait before optimizing!"
The new V8 algorithm uses counters to keep track of how often Javascript functions are called and loops executed in a program. The Chromium blog said: "That way V8 is able to quickly gather fine-grained information about performance bottlenecks in a JavaScript program, and to make sure that the optimizing compiler's efforts are spent on those functions that deserve it most." ®

ALBION, Mich. – The Albion College football team took another step in its maturation process Saturday as it overcame two turnovers and a halftime deficit to subdue Trine University, 41-27, in front of a sundrenched Homecoming crowd at Sprankle-Sprandel Stadium.
Zach Brewer hauled in touchdown passes of 14 and 25 yards as Albion built a 13-0 lead a minute and a half into the second quarter.
An interception ended Albion's fourth possession and that swung the momentum in Trine's favor. Taking over near midfield, Trine needed six plays to score its first touchdown. Richard Gunn went the final yard for the touchdown. Trine held a 14-13 halftime lead as Gunn added a 21-yard touchdown run on the Thunder's next possession.
Trine extended the lead to 17-13 when Tyler Keck kicked a 35-yard field goal to complete the first drive of the second half.
Albion displayed the resolve to comeback as it scored touchdowns on its next four possessions. Cody Crawford hauled in touchdown passes of 1 and 53 yards, Colin Parks ripped off a 66-yard run, and Darrin Williams capped the scoring with an 18-yard run.
Albion finished the day with 524 yards, evenly distributed between 273 passing yards by quarterback Dominic Bona and 251 rushing yards. Bona connected 27 of the 30 times Albion went to the air, and Wiliams contributed 97 rushing yards. Parks and Michael Czarnecki finished with 73 and 70 rushing yards, respectively. Brewer finished with 119 receiving yards.
The defense yielded 449 yards. Defensive back Terron Bridgeman had a busy day with 11 taclkes. Linebacker Brett McCarty finished with 10 stops, including an 8-yard sack.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. --- The Lees-McRae College women's cross country team turned in a solid ninth-place performance at the Eye Opener Cross Country Festival on Friday, which was hosted by the University of South Carolina-Upstate.
The Bobcats were led by freshmen twins Emily Shields (Salisbury, N.C.) and Katherine Shields (Salisbury, N.C.), who finished 28th and 33rd, respectively. Emily Shields turned in a time of 19:55, while her sister Katherine posted a time of 20:05.
"It was great to get our first race of the season under our belt," said head coach Thomas Cason. "We have a lot of hard work ahead of us, and I look forward to watching us get better every week."
The Bobcat men finished 11th, led by junior transfer Tyler Dunn paced the Bobcats with a 34th-place performance, turning in a time of 27:31. Senior Craig Simpkins (Boiling Springs, S.C.) finished 38th with a time of 27:40.
Lees-McRae returns to the trails on Saturday, September 10 when the Bobcats travel to Hickory, N.C. to take part in the Lenoir-Rhyne Invitational.
