STARKVILLE, Miss. – Lipscomb junior Kelsey Cartwright has been named to the NFCA All-South Region second team, the coaches association announced Thursday.
Cartwright hit 18 home runs, setting the Lipscomb single-season record, to go along with team highs in RBI (45), steals (14) and batting average (.381) on her way to first-team all-conference honors from the Atlantic Sun and CollegeSportsMadness.com. The Auburn transfer started all 55 games for Lipscomb in 2012.
"Kelsey was such a vital part of our team this year, both offensively and defensively," said Lipscomb head coach Kristin Ryman. "She became the most feared hitter in our line-up. On the whole, she put together one of the best single-seasons in program history.
"We're in a region with a bunch of high-quality teams and that's who our kids compete against for region honors. It speaks volumes for her and our program that we have quality players who make a difference."
She led Lipscomb with 15 multi-hit games and 12 multi-RBI games. Her 11-game hitting streak was the longest by a Lipscomb player during the 2012 season. Cartwright had two multi-home run games in 2012, including the season-finale against Kennesaw State May 11 in the A-Sun Tournament.
For all her prowess at the plate, Cartwright struck out a mere 15 times in 168 at-bats.
Cartwright had three five-RBI games (Feb. 25 against MTSU, March 11 against Alabama State and March 24 at Cal Poly), accounting for a third of her season total.

Bollywood music composer-singer Bappi Lahiri said on Thursday that he has so many memorable experiences in Chennai and considers the city very lucky for him.
"Chennai is very lucky for me because most of my 80s hits such as Himmatwala, Disco Dancer and Dance Dance were composed here. I've had so many memorable experiences in the city that are very close to my heart," he said here.
"Chennai is a very safe place and whenever I come here I don't bring along my entourage because the people here have always been very friendly," added Lahiri at the launch of his first Tamil number Disco Naughty Naughty Raja from the upcoming romantic-comedy Karuppampatti.
The 60-year old also said that he has completed 40 years in the industry with this Tamil song.
He has composed music for several Telugu films such as Gang Leader, Nippu Ravva, Rowdy Alludu among many more.
The film, which is directed by debutant Prabhu Raja Cholan, features Ajmal Ameer in the lead opposite Aparnaa Bajpai and Alice Tantardini. It also stars Archana, M.S Bhaskar, Jagan, Srinath and Devadarshini.
Sundar K has produced the film, which has music by Kannan.

About Us
From earthquakes to volcanoes to floods, the physical processes of the Earth have always affected people.
Geoscientists study the physical, chemical, and biological processes of the Earth, from its deep interior to its surface. Most people think that geology is just about rocks or oil and gas. However geoscience majors also study topics such as rivers, beaches, volcanoes, glaciers, earthquakes, plate tectonics, groundwater, global climate change, soils and sediments.
Using a wide variety of tools and techniques, students learn how geoscientists investigate environmental hazards (such as earthquakes, landslides, floods, hurricanes, beach erosion, volcanic eruptions, water pollution, and toxic chemical spills); the availability of mineral, energy, and water resources; and the history of the earth and its inhabitants.
The Geoscience program at Tarleton State University offers one degree with size concentration areas. All under the larger heading of Geoscience, these concentrations include:
- Geology
- Environmental Science
- Petroleum Geology
- Hydrogeology
- Science Teaching (certifying student to teach all high school sciences )
- Earth Science.
The Tarleton Geoscience program offers the benefits of small classes and individual attention. We offer many field and laboratory classes offering opportunities for hands-on learning. Advanced undergraduates can be employed as lab assistants or in the student help clinics. The Geoscience Program is housed in a state-of-the-art science building. Faculty engage in a variety of research activities including such areas as mineral chemistry, paleontology, oil and gas, non-point pollution, water supply protection, and wetland hydrology.
The campus is located in an area with extensive and visible geology. In the surrounding region students have access to a wide variety of geologic situations including the Arbuckle Mountains in Oklahoma, Chisos and Davis Mountains in West Texas, the Llano uplift, the caves and the springs of the Hill Country in central Texas, and the sediments of the coastal plain.
After Your Degree
The geology curriculum is broad in scope to prepare the student for employment by environmental and water resource companies; mineral and energy industries; federal, state, and local governments; and engineering and service companies involved with utilizing earth resources. Qualified students are also prepared for graduate study. As with many sciences, better more high-paying jobs are available with an advanced degree. However there are still many jobs for those with a B.S.
- Petroleum industry including oil and gas exploration, production, storage, and waste disposal facilities
- Independent drilling companies
- Federal government agencies such as: Department of Energy, Bureau of Land Management
- State government
- Private companies
- Consulting firms
- Equipment suppliers
For more information check out the American Geological Institute site. They have a number of reports on employment outlook, types of careers, even interviews with geoscientists in many sectors.
For information on salaries and job market, go to the U. S. Department of Labor site.

Gunmen abduct Jordanian ambassador in Libya
TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Masked gunmen abducted the Jordanian ambassador in the Libyan capital early Tuesday, officials said, the latest in a wave of abductions in the North African nation still plagued by lawlessness more than two years after the ouster of dictator Moammar Gadhafi.
Assailants in two cars opened fire on Ambassador Fawaz al-Etan's vehicle in central Tripoli near the Jordanian Embassy, wounding his driver before forcing the diplomat out at gunpoint, said Libyan Foreign Ministry spokesman Said al-Aswad.
The Foreign Ministry said in a statement that it is closely following the case and will "exert all effort to ensure safety of the ambassador." It also called on the kidnappers to release him, and urged Libyans to "respect the diplomatic and foreign envoys in the country."
A spokeswoman for Jordan's Foreign Ministry, Sabah al-Rafie, confirmed the kidnapping but had no further details.
Following the kidnapping, Jordan's national carrier, Royal Jordanian, suspended its flight to Tripoli on Tuesday, airline spokesman Basil al-Kilani said. He did not specify when flights would resume.
In Amman, the ambassador's sister, Khawala al-Etan, told The Associated Press that she learned of her brother's abduction when she saw his picture flash across her TV screen.
"I was shocked and started crying," she said, adding that her brother has been subject to previous kidnapping attempts.
"He was always under threat," she said, while appealing for her brother's release.
Meanwhile, the motives behind the abduction were not clear, and there was no immediate word from the kidnappers.
Abductions have been rife in Libya since the country's 8-month civil war ended with Gadhafi's killing in October 2011. Diplomats and journalists have been among those targeted in the kidnappings.
In January, gunmen briefly held six Egyptian diplomats and embassy employees following the arrest of a Libyan militia leader in Egypt. The diplomats were released only after Egypt freed the detained militia commander.
Most of the abductions, however, have targeted Libyan officials, including senior members of the government, and their families.
On Sunday, Libya's interim prime minister, Abdullah al-Thinni, declined a parliamentary mandate to form a new government, saying he would step down after a new premier is named.
Al-Thinni said his decision was prompted by a recent attack against him that, in his words, endangered the lives of residents of his neighborhood. Al-Thinni, who previously served as the country's defense minister, did not provide any details of the attack, but he said he did not want to be the cause of any fighting or bloodshed because of his position.
Al-Thinni's son was kidnapped and held by a militia for four months until his release in January.
And last year, former Prime Minister Ali Zidan was briefly abducted from his five-star hotel in central Tripoli by an Islamic militia group before he was released by another rival armed group.
Also, the current powerful head of the Libyan Parliament, Nouri Abu Sahmein, appeared last month in a leaked video in which he is seen to be begging with an Islamic militia commander, trying to explain why he was caught with two women in his residence and insisting nothing scandalous was going on.
The incidents reflect the weakness of Libyan politicians and officials in the face of powerful militias that have become both the enforcers of the law and the fuel of lawlessness after successive governments depended on them to restore order in the absence of a strong police force or military.
Akour reported from Amman, Jordan.

Foofy, a Moonkin Repository Moderator, has been on a quest lately to figure out if Imp FF works with someone else's Faerie Fire. She has done some testing on the target dummies. She talked to a GM in game for quite a while to try and get answers from him, and he indicated that Imp FF should work with FFF. She had a screenshot of the comment up but it appears to have been taken down. Finally she made a post on the Damage Dealing forum asking GC for an answer and bumped it regularly. Her persistence was rewarded with a response.
I am almost positive the talent is looking at your spells. So if you cast Wrath, it does a check to see if you also have FF up on the target.
The intent of the talent is to encourage you to cast Faerie Fire, compensating you a
little for the fact that you are debuffing the target. It isn't intended to just be "here have some crit." The intent is that if you cast FF, even if the debuff is already on the mob, you are rewarded for it.
I suspect it isn't smart enough to detect Feral Faerie Fire now that it's a base spell, so we should probably fix the case of a Balance druid who casts FFF and then goes back to Wrath or whatever.
I am just guessing based on the way spells usually work. I did not try this myself so I could be wrong.
I will also admit that there are some inconsistencies currently in the game between whether you are supposed to apply a debuff again on a mob that already has it (because sometimes you get a "More Powerful Spell" error). This is something we're trying to clean up though.
So, you may now be asking yourself: What does this mean? In my opinion, very little.
First off, GC seems to be talking of the cuff. This is the way he thinks it should work, but he probably doesn't know the coding completely and hasn't thought about it much. That is the impression I get.
I still think Imp FF works with Feral FF, but there is more testing needed, and several people have stepped up to say they are going to do it. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone that is heavily into pvp or a feral druid so I can't test it myself.
If it does work, I'm not sure what we should expect. It's clear that GC would consider it a bug, and it may be fixed in a future patch. On the other hand, its clear that Moonkin are not OP DPS killing all of the charts. I wouldn't be surprised if blizz treated this as a happy accident and let it stand even if it wasn't intended.
I know that some of you are probably wondering: Should I spec into IFF or not? Really I think it is up to you if you have a Feral Druid and Shadow Priest in raid. I still think it will help you but if you would prefer to have more mana regen, Gale Winds, or Imp IS then go for it. If you don't have a Feral Druid or Shadow Priest in raid regularly then you should spec into IFF and casting FF anyway.
The second GC post:
I am saying the tooltip, which currently reads:
Your Faerie Fire spell also increases the chance the target will be hit by spell attacks by 3%, and increases the critical strike chance of your damage spells by 3% on targets afflicted by Faerie Fire.
Should probably read:
Your Faerie Fire and Feral Faerie Fire spells also increase the chance the target
will be hit by spell attacks by 3%, and increase the critical strike chance of your damage spells by 3% on targets afflicted by your Faerie Fire or Feral Faerie Fire.
One of the issues we are currently discussing is what to do in the case where someone chooses a talent that they end up not using because someone else in the group also has the same buff of equal or greater potency. To be fair though this is not a new problem. Raids always had to manage buffs like Spirit or Kings that were talented. I think groups usually worked around that by just grouping with the same people a lot and making sure someone had the talent. We are seeing a lot more raids pugged these days, and in any case, you often still want the buff when you are soloing. It is something we're discussing.

Laidlaw Lays It Out
Half-Life2.net have a quick interview with Marc Laidlaw, science fiction author and story writer/designer for Valve on the Half-Life games.
Asked how the episodes have changed the way they develop the plots, he explains,
"They forced our hand…instead of jumping forward another 10 years and letting players fill in the gaps for themselves, we've gotten the chance to develop some of the elements deliberately. But we've also had the chance to spend more time working on our characters and letting more of the plot emerge from them and their dynamics, rather than simply out of the demands of saving the world as quickly as possible."
Read the rest of it here. (Warning: it contains some fairly major spoilers early on).

Hurricane Katrina Sources
"On 29 August 2005, as hurricane Katrina was rumbling towards New Orleans, a seismic hum more than 1000 times the strength of the average volcanic tremor was felt nearly 3000 kilometers away in southern California. Its source was the hurricane itself… This is the first time that a hurricane's seismic signal has been detected so far away."

BluScenes The Classic Fireplace 1080p HD Blu-ray Disc with Digital Copy Download
Yes! You can turn off the music and listen to only the crackling of the fire! See the "Details" tab for more great features!
BluScenes The Classic Fireplace was shot with a RED One 4K camera and is the first and only Fireplace Blu-ray Disc to offer a true 1080p HD experience with 3 different sizes to fit your aesthetic needs, so that you can choose the shot that is most appropriate for the size of your screen. Select from 3 soothing ambient tracks in your choice of stereo, 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround, or 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio. In addition to continuous playback, BluScenes Fireplace also includes a full fire and a special bonus Yule Log with beautiful ambient Christmas music digitally recorded in 5.1 and 7.1 Surround.
More InfoMost video fireplaces haven't changed much in the last 25 years, since VHS were first made. They are designed for a 19-27" screen. Those screens are tiny by today's standards. A fire might look great on a 20" screen but ridiculously huge on a 65" screen. At the same time, a fire designed for a large screen looks absolutely lilliputian on a small screen. We designed our fireplace Blu-ray disc with versions for a multitude of screen sizes. You can pick the right zoom/crop level (small, medium or large) for your TV. Since we filmed the fireplace in 4K, all of the scenes, even the cropped ones, are presented in FULL 1080p.
Another common pet peeve that we've experienced with some other fireplaces -- the flames go "off the top of the screen." We designed our scenes feature the full fire. We searched high and low for a classic fireplace that provided the right dimensions and visual interest for multiple zooms.
ScenesThe first 3 scenes are the same fire, but set at different zoom/crop levels from the 4K footage:
Scene 1: Designed for small screens (computers & small TVs)
Scene 2: Designed for medium screens (31" to 50")
Scene 3: Designed for larger screens (51" and above)
The other 2 scenes include:
Scene 4: A "natural fire" for larger screens, that burns down to a smolder
Scene 5: A medium-frame "Yule Log"
As a special bonus, we now give you a free instant download of this disc in 720p when ordered from our site. The Blu-ray is still 1080p and of much higher quality, but we had to reduce the size of the downloads and make them small enough to play on portable media devices and home devices such as Apple TV and Roku.

Queenship in Medieval Europe
Theresa Earenfight
Basingstoke, Palgrave MacMillan, 2013, ISBN: 9780230276468; 368pp.; Price: £20.00
University College London
Date accessed: 16 December, 2018
Theresa Earenfight's new book, Queenship in Medieval Europe, stresses that the medieval royal court could be a woman's world as much as a man's. Responding to historiography that has largely identified the concepts of 'monarchy' and 'sovereignty' as male dominated, Earenfight argues that the indirect and often passive power of a queen 'could be just as powerful as official authority' (p. 11). Queens were often able to exercise influence through their roles within the royal family as wives, mothers, daughters, sisters, and aunts, as well as wield significant power as regents, intercessors, patrons, and models of piety and chastity. She argues that a 'distinct and coherent medieval queenship began to take shape around 300 CE', leading to a fixed and unchanging concept by 1500 (p. 15). Through the course of the book she discusses what queenship entailed in the first part of the period and then moves on to highlight how the role of queen evolved from just the wife of a king to a symbolic figurehead.
Written with her students in mind, Earenfight's writing style is both clear and engaging. The four body chapters comprising the textbook are organized chronologically, spanning from approximately 300 CE to 1500. Similarly, the geographical scope provided by Earenfight is impressive as she ranges from Scandinavia to the Mediterranean and from the British Isles to Russia. The breadth of time and geographical space covered provide a framework that is useful for studying queenship as it allows the reader to make useful comparisons between medieval monarchs and the various kingdoms. The broad scope of the study also provides Earenfight with an extensive amount of evidence at her disposal. Earenfight uses material culture, mainly artistic imagery, to expand the readers' understanding of individual queens and how they were depicted via their clothes, jewelry, and sculptures. However, the evidence employed by Earenfight is not solely material, as she also draws from illuminated manuscripts and correspondence as well as medieval literature, such as hagiography, charters, official records and works patronized by queens. Rightfully so, she warns her readers that these sources must be read with due consideration as rumor and innuendo are often intertwined with fact. Earenfight mentions several fascinating sources in the course of her book but her broad approach limits her from providing many close readings. She seeks to remedy these gaps by providing suggestions for further research so that the reader can pick-up where she left off.
Earenfight's study allows historians and students alike to contemplate the various ways queen's exercised official and unofficial power in both the public and private spheres. She begins by first establishing the term 'rulership' as being a more inclusive concept than 'monarchy,' as it shakes loose power associations with male rule and allows space for queenship (p. 12). Earenfight skillfully encourages her readers to ask how queens wielded influence beyond their roles as wives and mothers of kings. How these royal women functioned is at times ambiguous, as the complicated balance between power and subjugation allowed some queens to become political partners or even rulers, whilst forcing others to exert more subtle forms of control. Earenfight uses Æthelthryth, consort of King Ecgfrith, and the chaste Queen Edith, wife of Edward the Confessor, as examples of the latter, as although both queens were childless they were still able to exert significant power as models of virtue and piety for their subjects. As noted by Earenfight, in terms of the various roles and influence queens had, 'one theory does not fit all' (p. 11).
Chapter one, 'Theme and variations', centers on how Roman, Barbarian, and Christian societies, among them the eastern Roman Empire, the early Byzantine Empire, the Frankish and Merovingian realms, early medieval Britain and Ireland, the Iberian Peninsula and Italy, began to fashion a definition of medieval queenship from the years 300–700 CE. Writing this chapter was undoubtedly challenging for Earenfight as she admits both kingship and queenship were poorly defined during this period. Yet despite this obstacle she is still able to identify an emerging concept of queenship across these loose kingdoms, which was linked to 'Roman notions of gender and political power' as well as 'Christian ideas on virginity and marriage' (p. 73). Earenfight argues that both in the East and West power was dependent on family structure and that women were central in maintaining these familial ties. She continues this argument by highlighting four commonalities of early queenship in the above noted regions. The first of these commonalities is that the queen was typically the wife of the king, as polygamy and concubinage often complicated the question of succession. Secondly, Earenfight maintains that women were not always viewed as unfit to rule as many customs of the early medieval era respected female counsel and the roles they played as wives and mothers because they were usually seen to have family interests in mind. Thirdly, Earenfight demonstrates that the Christianization of Europe dramatically transformed political culture and ideas about women. Queens played a prominent role in the Christianization process through converting their husbands and subjects, maintaining an interest in relics and holy sites, founding convents and monasteries, and encouraging their children to enter the Church. Earenfight goes on to argue that this queenly piousness distinguished women from the 'warrior' kings of the period. Lastly, Earenfight contends that queens in early medieval Europe created and maintained good relations between the royal family and their noble subjects through gift giving and hospitality.
The second chapter, 'Legitimizing the King's wife and bed companion', focuses on the period between 700 and 1100, when kings became the pre-eminent lords of a given region. Earenfight argues that queens were recognized not just as wives or concubines but also served to further legitimize male rule through bearing sons. A number of regions were discussed in this chapter, more specifically the Byzantine Empire, the Carolingian Empire, the Saxon and Ottonian regions, early Capetian France, England, Scotland, and Wales, Christian Iberia, Eastern Europe, Scandinavia, and Kievan Rus. Although all different kingdoms, Earenfight demonstrates that the concept of queenship eventually shifted, mainly due to changing legal and social circumstances, and reforms undertaken by the royal courts as well as the papacy. She views these modifications as advantageous to men, yet she successfully illustrates that 'not all change was disadvantageous to women' (p. 81). While queens lost control of the bedchamber, treasury, and wardrobe, they were still the king's closest companion and influenced him via intercession and on marriage negotiations, piety, patronage, and their children's educations. Several queens were known to have influence in this way, such as Queen Emma, who was instrumental in arranging the succession of four potential heirs in 11th-century England. However, while this passive facet of queenship was similar in both the East and West, there was variance in terms of the amount of access women had to direct power. Women in the East were known to inherit the crown and rule in their own right during this time period, while it was virtually unknown for princesses in the West to succeed their fathers or brothers, due to such customs as the Salic Law.
Earenfight's third chapter, 'The link of conjugal troth', argues that queenship was a family practice between 1100 and 1350 as queens gained power through not only their own blood relatives but their husband's as well. As in previous chapters, Earenfight looks to a breadth of kingdoms, among them France, the Iberian Kingdoms (Leon, Castile, Aragon, and Portugal), England and Scotland, to support her argument. By approaching queenship from such an extraordinary geographic perspective, Earenfight reveals that the increasing influence of the church in secular politics, especially concerning marriage, continued to limit a queen's role in political culture during this period. Princesses were denied opportunities to rule in their own right due to primogeniture and were frequently sent to marry kings and princes in other kingdoms. For Earenfight, these foreign matches 'were vital to establishing and maintaining cross-border family links' (p. 126). Earenfight suggests that scholars stop looking at only one queen and instead consider their mothers, daughters, sisters, and aunts who may have influenced their power and point of view. Count Ramon Berenguer of Provence and Béatrice of Savoy married their four daughters to kings and the sisters ruled France, England, Sicily, and the Romans. This network of royal women allows Earenfight to expand on the 'entire royal family' and not just simply 'the person sitting center stage' (p. 125).
The fourth and final chapter, 'Queenship in a crisis of monarchy, c. 1350-1500', concentrates on the late Middle Ages, when a queen's right to rule or convey the right to rule was challenged by a series of crises, like the Black Death and the Hundred Years War. By focusing on the effects of social and political upheaval, Earenfight demonstrates that queens were often at the center of events when a crisis unfolded. The histories of queens, such as Margaret of Anjou who infamously stepped in to govern during her husband's fits of madness, are employed by Earenfight as evidence that queens exercised influence and power during troublesome times. Other queens found more subtle ways to influence political affairs, serving as intercessors on behalf of their subjects. Earenfight includes a fascinating close reading of Christine de Pizan's allegorical Treasury of the City of Ladies (1404 or 1405), which portrays queens as 'more than just an object in a marriage exchange' (p. 194). For Earenfight, de Pizan demonstrates that a queen could 'play an active role in the pursuit of peace, as an intercessor between her husband and his enemies' (p. 194). She refers back to this text throughout the chapter as she goes on to highlight queens from France, England and Scotland, Iberia (Castile, the Crown of Aragon and Portugal), Hungary, Poland, and Scandinavia. A section of this chapter also describes the visibility of the late medieval queen through portraiture, public processions and coronations as well as her patronage of the arts. With the separation of the queen's fiscal account from that of the king's, queens were allowed the opportunity to patronize projects they were passionate about.
Earenfight's conclusion is not so much an ending to the study of queenship rather it is a beginning of a discourse on a concept that continued to change and adapt well into the 16th century and beyond. According to Earenfight, the most visible change in queenship during the late Middle Ages was that of the role of the queen regent, which 'took on new prominence' and 'continued against all the efforts to prevent it' (p. 251). With the exceptions of Elizabeth and Mary Tudor, who ruled England in their own right, Earenfight argues that a new class of royal official largely diminished queenly influence during the early modern period. Mazarin and Richelieu in France and Oliares in Spain replaced the queen as a trusted royal confidante but could be easily manipulated by a 'shrewd queen' (p. 252). The early modern period continued to adapt queenship and the type of power queens could exercise.
Earenfight's book provides significant case studies and an original perspective for historians interested in both queenship studies and gender history. This work has the potential to reach out to wider audiences, particularly undergraduate students who are beginning to develop an interest in the subject. Although her ambitious geographic approach limits her discussion of certain regions, like Wales, and readings of primary sources, such as the letters from Pope Gregory and Boniface V mentioned in the first chapter, the number of queens and kingdoms covered is nothing short of remarkable. Furthermore, her assertion that after 1650 'Queens had … lost their right to inherit and govern, and did not regain them until well into the nineteenth century' may generate discussion amongst historians interested in the likes of Britain's Queen Anne, Austria-Hungary's Maria Theresa, and Russia's Catherine the Great (p. 254). Overall, Earenfight's broad study of medieval queenship should do nothing less than inspire its readers to undertake more research into medieval and pre-modern queens. I hope that Earenfight's contribution further ensures that scholars no longer focus solely on the male members of a royal family or court. As Earenfight has shown, these realms were just as much a woman's world as a man's.

About the C-Pulse® Heart Assist System
The C-Pulse Heart Assist System, or C-Pulse System, an investigational device in the United States, Canada and countries that do not recognize the CE Mark approval, utilizes the scientific principles of intra-aortic balloon counter-pulsation applied in an extra-aortic approach to assist the left ventricle by reducing the workload required to pump blood throughout the body, while increasing blood flow to the coronary arteries. Operating outside the patient's bloodstream, the extra-aortic approach of the C-Pulse technology offers greater flexibility, allowing patients to safely disconnect to have intervals of freedom to perform certain activities such as showering. The C-Pulse System may help maintain the patient's current condition and, in some cases, reverse the heart failure process, thereby potentially preventing the need for later stage heart failure therapies, such as left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), artificial hearts or transplants.
Caution: Investigational device, limited by Federal (or United States) Law to Investigational use.
About Sunshine® Heart
Sunshine Heart, Inc. (NASDAQ: SSH) (ASX: SHC) is an early-stage global medical device company committed to the commercialization of the C-Pulse System, an implantable, non-blood contacting, heart assist therapy for the treatment of moderate to severe heart failure. The C-Pulse System can be implanted using a minimally invasive procedure and is designed to relieve the symptoms of heart failure through the use of counter-pulsation technology, which enables an increase in cardiac output, an increase in coronary blood flow and a reduction in the heart's pumping load. Sunshine Heart has completed an approved U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) feasibility clinical trial of the C-Pulse System and presented the results in November 2011. In March, 2012, the FDA notified the Company that it could move forward with an investigational device exemption (IDE) application. Sunshine Heart received unconditional approval from the FDA in November 2012 to initiate its pivotal trial. In July 2012 Sunshine Heart received CE Mark approval for its C-Pulse System in Europe.

You think only "pirates" and "freeloaders" rail against current copyright laws? Well, think again - even the Library of Congress seemingly has had enough. The topic is recorded sound preservation, and in a 181-page in-depth study, the Library of Congress concludes that apart from technical difficulties, US copyright law makes it virtually impossible for anyone to perform any form of audio preservation. The painted picture is grim - very grim.

7/16 Cubs Inbox
Send your questions to email@example.com.
Q: With the Cubs showing they can win games and doing it well, what kind of record would the team have to put together over the second half to get a Wild Card? Not that I think by any means this will happen but I am curious. — Jeremy B., Denver, CO
A: You can dream. The Cubs are 36-52 as of today, and would have to go 45-29 just to get to .500 (81-81). They are on a good pace, with a 12-4 record since June 25. If the season ended today, the Braves and Pirates would be Wild Card winners. The Cubs are currently 13 games back.
Q: What are the team batting/OBP numbers/slugging percentage before and after Rudy Jaramillo was dismissed? — James B., Fredonia, NY
A: From April 5-June 10, the numbers were .247 batting average/.304 on-base percentage/.385 slugging percentage. From June 12-July 15, the numbers are almost the same, .249/.293/.388. What's different are the pitching numbers. In the first 60 games, the Cubs were 20-40, the pitchers had a 4.39 ERA and converted seven of 18 save opportunities. In the last 28 games, the pitchers have a 3.93 ERA and have converted 10 of 11 save opportunities.
Q: Is Tony Campana in the Cubs' plans after the All-Star break or is he on the trading block? In the 15 days prior to the break, he only got into 10 games, during which he came to the plate in five of them. — Pete V., Xenia, OH
A: In 21 games in June, Campana hit .237 (14-for-59) and had an on-base percentage of .250. That's why he's not getting more starts. He can't steal bases if he can't get on base. He's the perfect 25th man, used as a pinch-runner, defensive sub.
Q: Can Bryan LaHair win Rookie of the Year? — Jeffrey B., Zion, IL
A: No. A player is considered a rookie unless during the previous season he has, No. 1, exceeded 130 at-bats or 50 innings pitched in the big leagues, or, No. 2, accumulated more than 45 days on the active roster of a Major League team during the 25-man limit in effect from Opening Day until Aug. 31. LaHair started this year with 195 Major League at-bats and 100 days service time.
Q: With Ian Stewart looking like he could miss the rest of the season, is there any chance that Theo and Co. will call up surging slugging, Josh Vitters? He hasn't played 162 games in Triple-A but he has a lot of Minor League experience and with Javier Baez hot on his trail, this may be his only opportunity. — Dean S., Northbrook, IL
A: Baez is a shortstop, so he's not a threat to Vitters. The Cubs are watching Vitters and Brett Jackson just as closely as they monitored Anthony Rizzo. On Saturday, GM Jed Hoyer said Vitters and Jackson need to show they deserve a promotion.
"Those guys need to force the issue, I would say," Hoyer said. "Like we talked about with Rizzo, when they sort of prove to us that they're ready and make it clear, then I think that's something we'll see."
Through Sunday, Vitters was batting .301 with 13 home runs, 28 doubles and 51 RBIs, and had a great June, when he hit .324. His defense is a little suspect. Jackson was batting .256 through Sunday, and coming off a .282 June, but he struck out 50 times in 29 games that month. As for Stewart, he is done for the season.
Q: The extraordinary number of strikeouts by Brett Jackson makes me wonder the obvious. Have they tested his vision? — Eric H., Brandon, FL
A. Yes.
Q: When is Jorge Soler expected to join the Major League team? — Christopher T., Chicago
A: Soler is 20 years old, and has yet to play in a game in the Mesa Rookie League. Sorry, my crystal ball is a little fuzzy and won't give me an exact date.
Q: Sitting here watching the final three innings of Kerry Wood's 20-strikeout game. This game is seldom mentioned as one of the all-time greatest games ever pitched. A 20-year-old ties a MLB record and the only hit was an infield single. A 1-0 game to boot. Any thoughts? — Jim R., Indio, CA
A: Wood's 20 K game is my favorite of all time.
Q: Other than Wayne Terwilliger and Eddie Miksis, who else wore No. 21? — Sheldon D., Key West, FL
A: Jason Marquis, Tyler Colvin, Sammy Sosa, and now, Joe Mather.
Q: Please evaluate the Colvin and Marshall trades. The new front office shows they are not what they're cracked up to be. They both stink. I'm holding my breath as we get down to the trading deadline. — Dwight A., Findlay, OH
A: The Cubs knew Stewart had a questionable wrist when they acquired him for Tyler Colvin (yes, Stewart did take a physical), but the team was ready to move on regarding Colvin. You have to admit his .150 average last season wasn't very impressive. The Rockies did well in that deal as Stewart is done for the year. But I'd say the Reds and Cubs both got what they wanted in their deal which sent Sean Marshall to Cincinnati for Travis Wood, Dave Sappelt and Roni Torreyes. James Russell has taken over the left-handed set-up role for the Cubs, Wood has won his last four starts, and Torreyes got off to a rough start but batted .330 in June and was hitting .304 in 12 games this month.
A perfect trade benefits both teams. How would you grade the deal for Rizzo? How about the pickup of Luis Valbuena? What about moving Marlon Byrd?

Don't forget George Altman who also wore 21.
Paul K., Scotch Plains, NJ
Ms. Muskat, I liked your article on Rizzo's childhood and his path to the big leagues. Except for the the close–which was somewhat flat and uninspired–it was well written and thoughtful. But as the Cubs beat writer, we fans are counting on you for some inside info. Therefore I would like to request that you consider some of these questions more completely, if you have the time. Specifically the question about Vitters getting a chance to play in the majors: you answered matter-of-factly that, "Baez is a shortstop, so he's not a threat to Vitters." Have you thought about this? Just because he's playing shortstop now doesn't mean that's the position he has the best chance at if he makes it to the big league level. We have a kid named Starlin Castro, and people seem to agree that his bat and glove are good enough to stay there. That presents a roadblock for Baez, and from what I've heard elsewhere, people envision Baez transitioning to third in the future, just as Dean S. asked about.
Is your assertion that Baez is a SS (period) based on something you've heard, or had you just not considered the big picture here?
As of today, there's no way I can predict where Javier Baez will play. The Cubs talent evaluators/coaches I talk to like him at shortstop. If Baez is athletic enough to handle SS, he can move anywhere on the field. He's also playing at Class A so it's a little early to pencil him into the Cubs lineup. The Cubs have another talented SS in the Minors in Junior Lake, who is at Double-A Tennessee. You could say Castro is blocking Lake, but the Cubs have had him play third. The best insight I can give you on Minor Leaguers is no one knows when they'll get to the big leagues, or where they'll play. That may be too vague an answer for Cubs fans, but it's true.
Baez is a shortstop that many are forecasting as a third baseman. While saying he is a "threat" to Vitters may be a little extreme, since the age difference and position change would likely make Baez two years away. I think your emphatic description of Beaz as "a shortstop" isn't as concrete as you think.
Guess we'll have to wait and see.
Thank you for the response. Talking about minor leaguers can be a fools errand, and we can look back at times we wasted our breath anticipating players who never made it. You are obviously correct that no one knows when a player (especially a player in A-ball) will get to the majors; there are so many factors that could affect one's projection. As for saying no one knows where they'll play? Really? I'd sure like to think that the FO and people in charge of player development have some plan in mind for these guys. Even if it's as vague as, 'Baez can be our SS if neither Castro nor Lake are playing SS, otherwise we'll move him to third.' Yes, it's possible the cubs get a third baseman they like before that time comes, in which case they would have to rethink the projection of their promising SS/3B prospects again.
I talked to one of the Cubs front office people Tuesday night, and he agreed with me — as of today, nobody knows where Baez will play when he gets to the big leagues. Let's hope he makes it tough on the Cubs to find a spot for him and Castro in the lineup (one of them could move to 2B, too).
You said the other day that Baez "is a shortstop" and will not challenge Vitters for a 3B spot, how does that make you in agreement with the FO who says they have no idea where he will play? Kinda a contradiction.
lol i can pretend to be Carrie too
Well I talked to the front office and they told ME that they were gonna move Dempster to third base. So there!
This will be an interesting situation for the next few years. Then if the Cubs get a top 3B spect for Garza/Demp it becomes even more interesting. I wouldn't mind keeping Baez at SS if that meant Castro at 2B or even Baez at 2B and Castro at SS. I don't think you will see Baez at 3B anymore because Vitters is playing well and then if you add Castellanos (tigers) or Olt (rangers) you got yourself a good 3B. Who knows though at least the future looks brighter than where we are now.

Weekend 1 for sure because the weather was better. We got 2 extremes and something in the middle would have been preferred, but the heat zapped the crowds energy weekend 2, you can't go all out all day everyday in that kind of heat. It made some of the day shows into pure survival. Sure it was a little chilly at night on weekend 1, but nothing a sweater and hat won't fix. Also it allowed for all sorts of costumes. It was near impossible to escape the heat weekend 2 let alone dress up a bit. Plus if you were dancing you weren't cold anyways.
Of course both weekends were amazing, but the surprises, better grass and weather go to weekend 1.

For a modelling paste that is both durable yet malleable, look no further than Saracino Modelling Paste.
The modelling paste differs in many ways than others that are available, however it is it's ease of use that is making it so sought after.
The Saracino modelling paste is so durable that it can be rolled or moulded to a thickness of 1mm, so now you can get more lifelike flower petals and leaves than ever before. Also, because you can roll it so thinly, it allows you to cut the paste easily with products such as Patchwork Cutters, and so is more versatile as you can then use it for side tier and top tier embellishments, not just for sugar floristry and modelling purposes.
Saracino Modelling paste has a high concentration of cocoa butter and so is very useful when modelling 3D cake figures and toppers. It means that, whilst the modelling paste hardens quickly, it does not dry out, making it easy to correct any mistakes, so you can have models made at record speed.
The modelling paste is also very elastic, so you can bend and shape it as you wish, without fear of it breaking. Not only this but once hardened, it easily maintains its shape.
Unlike some other modelling pastes and florist pastes on the market, the Saracino modelling paste tastes good and is even gluten free.

JED McCrory has rubbished a report in a national newspaper this morning claiming his consortium plans to sack manager Paolo Di Canio and replace him with Mike Newell and Brian Stein.
The Daily Mirror ran a story in their Wednesday edition which stated the prospective new owners of the Robins were ready to make the move due to the sizeable wages Di Canio earns at the County Ground.
However, in a statement released exclusively to the Swindon Advertiser, McCrory has nonsensed the suggestions.
His statement reads: "I feel the need to break the NDA (non-disclosure agreement) due to the breaking story (in the Mirror).
"I have had no contact or conversation, be it email, telephone or any other means, with Mike Newell.
"We are disappointed that people are putting stories together due to the uncertainty over the situation and would like to state we are looking forward to working with Paolo Di Canio and the team going forward.
"We are working tirelessly to bring the purchase of the club to an end to allow all to return to normality. As a football fan I am aware of the need to end this uncertainty as soon as possible."

Next Tuesday, Rockville Centre residents will make an important decision about the future of their schools: Do they want to improve them, and make sure they remain award-winning places of learning, or will they allow the schools to fall behind their neighboring districts and lose their luster?
Though this bond, which totals $45.9 million, is similar to one that was proposed — and rejected — a little more than three years ago, we hope that history doesn't repeat itself, and encourage residents to vote "yes" on this referendum.
We don't make this recommendation lightly. The district is essentially asking every home and business owner to approve a tax increase, and in these difficult times, when taxes are stretching wallets to the breaking point and incomes have stalled, that's not an easy thing to ask people to do.
For the average Rockville Centre home, valued at $532,000, this bond will mean a tax increase of $128 a year for the 30-year term of the bond. For some, that increase is manageable. For others, it's not.
But the fact is that this bond is not just something we want to see happen; it needs to happen. The village has some of the best schools in the country, of which every community member should be proud. The quality of the schools is also reflected in the value of your home.
Some may say that with the economy the way it is, and with many people struggling to afford basic necessities, this is the wrong time to take out a bond. They have a point — but this is also the best time to take out a bond, with interest rates at historic lows. Waiting a few years for the economy to rebound could mean higher interest rates — and that could translate to tens of millions of dollars more that district taxpayers would have to repay.
If this bond fails, our school buildings and infrastructure will deteriorate and our instruction will fall behind that of our neighbors. South Side High School is in desperate need of repair and expansion. And that is where the majority of the bond money would go: $25.5 million, or more than 55 percent of the total, would fund new construction and interior renovations at SSHS. The portable classrooms would go, replaced by a permanent addition, not only giving students the classroom space they need, but improving security — doors would no longer have to be left open all day to allow students in and out of the main building.
Another $7.4 million would be used to build additional classrooms at Watson Elementary, which has long been known by parents, teachers and students for being cramped.
The bond would cover other projects that are necessary for student safety and education: roof repairs, masonry reconstruction, building code upgrades, floor repairs, band and chorus room renovations, new security cameras, a boiler replacement and more.
In a perfect world, this measure would never have to be proposed. The district would be able to fund all of these improvements through its normal budgeting process. But that just isn't possible.
We know times are tough. We know that the tax increase could make things even more difficult for some families. But we also know that our schools need this money. These are things we can do now to make our schools better and more competitive in the coming years. Without this bond, home values in Rockville Centre will begin to fall as the school district deteriorates.
This bond needs to pass. We hope residents understand that, and will vote in favor of it on Tuesday.
