However, by adding neat responses to hover and focus (always remember to pair these together for keyboard users) we can introduce just the right amount of surprise and delight when the user initiates the sequence to enhance their experience without CSS tricks getting in the way.
Personal and Technical Web Designing Skills
A web designer is a person that designs the website from scratch to an end, by considering all the major requirements and need of the client. All the major requirements of the site like information/requirement gathering, designing, coding, testing and even maintenance of the website after its launch, is done by web designer. A good website designing is the one which satisfies all requirements of the client with no errors. A web designer should possess some good personal as well as technical web designing skills. These skills are necessary to become an effective Web Designer. Those skills are briefly described below.
Importance of Responsive Web Designs for Mobile
With the rise of mobile and tablet web, it has now become a necessary and trend to designresponsive websites for mobile phones devices which change and adjust themselved with device secreen size and resolution. This is an important practice and is considered very profitable for businesses. Millions of people use internet on their smartphone so that importance of mobile web design could not be neglected.

How to design news sites
Recently, a friend suggested that I write an analysis of news websites: what they're doing right, and what they're doing wrong. He suggested that the online news experience was too backward, and maybe a bit boring, and figured that they could make better use of AJAX and similar technologies to streamline content delivery and site navigation. I was inclined to agree at first. I feel that, in many cases, newspapers are still trying too hard to maintain the physical newspaper experience, but with a sliding images approach. In doing this, they often restrict themselves to a familiar but somewhat limiting visual format. This trend also shows itself in some very poor UX decisions, such as almost illegibly small body text.
Determining the Real Wants of Your Client
The freelancing world is filled with a great number of complex skill sets and many artists; freelance designers are constantly trying to match their skills and talents to the demands of their clients. While working on a new project can be amazingly satisfying, it can also be stressful and frustrating when your ideas don't match up with what the client is looking for.
What Classifies as Flat Design?
What classifies as flat design? As this trend has quickly risen in popularity, so has the abundance of people claiming "flat" and "not flat" on various designs. About a week ago I came across a Twitter post by a design blog that had to do with the new GoDaddy redesign, asking people what their thoughts were on it. Curious to see what it looked like, I went over to GoDaddy to check it out. It's nothing special, just a simple redesign using some flat elements. What I did like, and what was most noticeable, was the amount of clutter they got rid of (the old GoDaddy website was a mess).
7 Things You Need to Do Before Launching Your Mobile App
You need to find a way of making the app popular even before it is launched. This is where things get tricky: You are marketing an app that has not yet been introduced to the people. What is the point of pre-launch marketing? Is it worth it? Your app needs all the publicity it can get. Or else, it will drown in the sea of app that already exist on the app stores. Apple and Android have more than a MILLION apps – you need to start popularizing your app even before you start building it!
20 Inspirational Examples of Contact Pages and Forms | Inspirations
Regardless to how you choose to place it, a contact page is actually a welcoming sign to your visitor that might become your most prized client soon. Every visitor at your site should have a chance to get in touch with you and have a contact page at their disposal, easy to locate and operate. Making it welcoming leads to the fact of how it is designed. The first impression after clicking at "contact us" would clearly indicate whether you really want to be contacted or not. Mostly we observe that paying due attention on contact page design is not properly considered and are left at the developers disposal to make it functionally fit to operate and the designing aspect is totally left out.

The Backstreet Boys have formed an unlikely alliance with rockers Korn and joined their call to boycott fuel giants British Petroleum to protest the devastating oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico.
The spill from the BP rig, which exploded in April 2010, has been declared the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history, prompting Korn to show their disdain by banning their tourbus drivers from filling up at BP gas pumps while on the road this summer.
Frontman Jonathan Davis said, "We need to do our part to let BP know there are consequences for causing something like this. We want to send a message to corporations like BP so that they will take more preventative measures in the future.
"The more costly their punishment, the more money they will spend to make sure disasters like this don't happen again. It's plain and simple capitalism."
The Backstreet Boys recently performed a gig in Biloxi, Mississippi, where they witnessed the extent of the oil spill for themselves, and singer Nick Carter admits he was left heartbroken by the slight of the animals caught up in the mess.
He says, "I'm devastated by what I've seen first hand and on the news. I've always been a marine activist and seeing pictures of oil-covered animals breaks my heart."
And his bandmate Brian Littrell is calling on their fellow musicians to follow Korn's lead.
He adds, "We just played Biloxi last week and I have to tell you people are really worried down there. This boycott is about making a statement, letting people know how we feel and to stand for something."

Graduate Workshop: "Enhancing Reality Therapy"
The College of Graduate Studies at Immaculata University will offer a Special Topic Workshop on "Enhancing Reality Therapy: An Integrated Approach" on Saturdays, March 12 and 19, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in Loyola Hall on the University´s campus. Dr. Michael Dyson will lead this workshop.
This course will present the theory and application of an integrated model, which emphasizes choice and responsibility. Reality Therapy (RT) tends to be directive, goal-oriented, didactic, and content focused. However, progress is often thwarted as clients experience difficulty identifying subjective wants and relinquishing less effective behaviors. Existential-Humanistic Therapy (EHT) is a complementary approach because it adds essential elements of support, depth exploration, and the primacy of the subjective to the therapeutic relationship. Dr. Dyson will help attendees flexibly work from an RT and EHT perspective with the goal of enhancing therapy outcome.
Immaculata University is recognized by the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC) to offer continuing education for National Certified Counselors. Immaculata adheres to the NBCC continuing education guidelines.
Cost for the one-credit course is $440 and $160 if taken as a non-credit workshop. For more information contact the College of Graduate Studies at 610-647-4400, ext. 3211.
Immaculata University, a Catholic, coeducational institution, is located 20 miles west of Philadelphia, south of the intersection of routes 30 and 352, between Paoli and Exton.

JUNEAU (AP) -- As the Legislature takes an Easter breather a few days before its planned adjournment, a thicket of thorny disputes still stands between lawmakers and the final gavel.
Last week featured marathon sessions of the House and Senate as lawmakers rushed to pass their bills and resolutions. But the hours of open debate and back-room strategizing produced no agreements on the key issues of the session: state employee contracts, Bush power subsidies, rural school construction and money for the University of Alaska.
''There are still some major issues hanging out there,'' said Rep. John Davies, D-Fairbanks.
The sheer number of unresolved questions has thrown the Legislature's planned early adjournment date into question. A few weeks ago, leaders in the Republican majority called for an end to the session before Easter. That was later revised to the Tuesday after the holiday.
Now even the most optimistic estimate has lawmakers leaving no earlier than Wednesday, and possibly much later.
''I think May 9 is a certainty,'' joked House Speaker Brian Porter, R-Anchorage, referring to the session's mandatory ending date.
Here's a look at the status of the major outstanding pieces of the session:
State Employee Contracts
New contracts negotiated by the Knowles administration and 12 state employee unions will cost almost $25 million in the fiscal year that begins July 1, including about $13.8 million from the state's general fund.
GOP lawmakers, especially in the Republican-dominated Senate, have indicated they may try to adjourn without approving the contract increases, a move that would likely lead to a special session, a strike, or both.
Support for the contracts is stronger in the House, where lawmakers may attach the contract increases to a budget bill and dump the issue in the Senate's lap.
''Our understanding on the House side is that we're going to have an up-or-down vote on that before we leave,'' said Davies.
Senate Republican leaders have developed a less costly counterproposal to the contracts, Senate Rules Committee Chairman Tim Kelly said earlier this week. However, Administration Commissioner Bob Poe was unreceptive, saying the Legislature's only role in the negotiations is to vote yes or no on the money.
Rural Power Subsidies
The House has passed two bills designed to resolve the long-running debate on how to pay for Power Cost Equalization, the subsidy that offsets high electrical rates in the Bush. Neither bill has passed the Senate.
Half of the package -- the sale of four state-owned hydroelectric projects to a fund that would generate money for the subsidy -- has broad support.
But the other half of the proposal would transfer $100 million from the Constitutional Budget Reserve to make the endowment big enough to pay for the entire subsidy. It passed the House with the three-quarters majority required to tap the reserve, but it's unlikely the Senate will go along.
University Money
The House also approved tapping the Constitutional Budget Reserve for $206 million to replace the University of Alaska's $172 million general fund allotment and give the system a $34 million increase spread over the next two years.
But Senate Finance Committee co-chair John Torgerson doesn't like the plan, and said he won't even give it a hearing. That makes it likely that a joint House-Senate committee working out a compromise operating budget will accept the $8.5 million increase for the university included in the Senate version.
That's only half of the $16.9 million the university asked for, and the increase is structured in a way that doesn't cover areas the school has identified as basic needs.
The Capital Budget
The spending plan for road projects and other capital construction is the biggest obstacle to adjournment in a procedural sense because it's required by the state constitution. A version has been approved by the Senate, but it's still in the House Finance Committee, where it will likely be amended.
The committee's changes will hinge on the final versions of the operating budget and a bond package for construction and maintenance of schools, University of Alaska buildings and state-owned harbors, and both plans are still unfinished.
Once the amended version leaves the committee, the budget will likely take at least three days to pass the House and Senate, although a bipartisan agreement could move it along more quickly.
Bond Packages
The House and Senate have competing ideas for the bond package, which is primarily aimed at building rural schools as a way to derail a lawsuit accusing the state of providing inferior schools in the Bush.
The House has a single bill that calls for $269 million in revenue bonds backed by Alaska's share of a tobacco litigation settlement. The measures direct $165.8 million to construction or repair of public schools, $72 million to University of Alaska projects and $32 million to harbors.
The bill hasn't left the House yet, and will likely be enlarged to satisfy minority Democrats before it goes to the Senate.
However, Senate leaders don't like using the tobacco settlement to back bonds because the settlement money is currently used in the state's operating budget.
The Senate has passed two bills calling for general obligation bonds that would require approval from voters in November.
The first bill earmarks $237 million for a list of school and university projects similar to the House bill. The second measure includes the ports and harbors and $166 million in road projects.

Help Migrant Workers Quit Smoking
A recent report wrote about the sharp increase in contraband cigarettes seized at the borders of Singapore ("Smuggling cases hit a new high", Aug 6) and applaud the authorities for stepping up their checks. The rise in demand is fed by two groups of consumers: The first group is the burgeoning number of Singaporean smokers, which is being addressed by the authorities through education and enforcement.
The second group is the "imported demand" of foreigners/migrant workers working in Singapore who smoke. With the burgeoning economy here, Singapore boasts a large number of migrant workers from China and South Asia.
These migrant workers bring with them their smoking habit. China boasts the highest consumption of Marlboro and other cigarettes in the world; according to the tobacco atlas by the World Health Organization in 2002, about 67 per cent of the population smokes, with males accounting for the majority of cigarette smokers.
However, with cigarettes much more expensive here than in their home country, due to the high excise tax in Singapore, and with their limited income, migrant workers naturally turn to contraband cigarettes, which have a street price of between $2 and $4.
Policy-makers can consider intensifying public education among migrant workers on the harmful effects of smoking, by engaging civil society groups such as the Humanitarian Organisation for Migration Economics (Home) and Transient Workers Count Too (TWC2) to deliver talks to foreign workers at dormitories, workplaces or roadshows. They can also work with employers to send workers to smoking cessation clinics, run by such groups.
The message should be simple: They can bring back wealth and health to their homeland by kicking the smoking habit.
On top of the carrot, the stick should be wielded, in the form of stiffer penalties for smokers (both local and foreigners alike) who are caught smoking illegal cigarettes.
They should also be encouraged to blow the whistle on peddlers of contraband cigarettes through incentives, with informants rewarded handsomely.
If education proves too tough a task, to control the supply of illegal cigarettes, one possibility is producing cigarettes meant specially for foreign workers – perhaps by shortening each stick, hence lowering the cost. These can be designated for sale only to migrant workers who can produce their FIN card.

Marquette Golf Holds On To Win John Dallio Memorial
Oct. 7, 2012
LEMONT, Ill. -- Nick Nelson closed with an even-par 72 Sunday to help lead Marquette to a five-shot victory at the John Dallio Memorial. The MU freshman tied for fifth place overall, one of four MU golfers to post top-20 finishes at the 15-team event, which began Saturday at Ruffled Feathers Golf Club.
"This win was a big step in the right direction," said third-year head coach Steve Bailey. "We came into the event focused on two goals, first was to be confident in our preparation, and two was mental toughness. We knew if we were mentally strong and battle through tough stretches, we would have a chance to win on Sunday. This team continues to embrace the importance of bringing positive energy everyday, and it's paying off."
Coming in with a team score of 905, it was Marquette's 11th win in program history and first team title since the Golden Eagles won the 2008 BIG EAST Men's Golf Championship. The lead changed hands throughout the two-day event between MU and runner-up and host DePaul (910), as well as third-place Northern Iowa (911).
Nelson tallied a 54-hole total of 225, just four strokes behind individual medalist Kyle Henning of Valparaiso. After carding scores of 79 and 74 to open the tournament, Nelson made a team-high four birdies during his third round. He was 2-under on the day through 15 holes and then gave two strokes back with back-to-back bogeys, but still managed to shoot MU's lowest round of the tourney.
Junior Corey Konieczki (T12) finished with a three-round total of 227. He shot a final-round 76 and was solid down the stretch, playing his final six holes at 1-under, including a birdie on the 578-yard, par-4 fourth hole.
Senior Ryan Prickette and freshman Pat Sanchez both finished tied for 15th one stroke behind Konieczki at 228 for the tournament. It was Prickette's best career finish. Freshman Zach Gaugert tied for 29th place.
"I'm thrilled," said Prickette, who will graduate from Marquette in December. "I'm just really proud of the young guys and excited for the future of the program and honored to be a part of it just before my time's up. We're getting better every tournament, not just with our games, but in our grit and determination and confidence."
The Golden Eagles will return to competition later this month at the Pinetree Intercollegiate, Oct. 22-23, in Kennesaw, Ga.

Touch Event Support for jQuery UI
jQuery UI Touch Punch is a small hack that enables the use of touch events on sites using the jQuery UI user interface library.
Currently, jQuery UI user interface library does not support the use of touch events in their widgets and interactions. This means that the slick UI you designed and tested in your desktop browser will fail on most, if not all, touch-enabled mobile devices, becuase jQuery UI listens to mouse events—mouseover, mousemove and mouseout—not touch events—touchstart, touchmove and touchend.
That's where jQuery UI Touch Punch comes in. Touch Punch works by using simulated events to map touch events to their mouse event analogs. Simply include the script on your page and your touch events will be turned into their corresponding mouse events to which jQuery UI will respond as expected.
As I said, Touch Punch is a hack. It duck punches some of jQuery UI's core functionality to handle the mapping of touch events. Touch Punch works with all basic implementations of jQuery UI's interactions and widgets. However, you may find more complex cases where Touch Punch fails. If so, scroll down to learn how you can file and/or fix issues.
This code is dual licensed under the MIT or GPL Version 2 licenses and is therefore free to use, modify and/or distribute, but if you include Touch Punch in other software packages or plugins, please include an attribution to the original software and a link to this Touch Punch website.

What in the world do sailing ships, steamboats and horse carriages have in common with Baccarat? Nothing, other than the fact that they all succumbed to innovation and new inventions. What about the Polaroid camera or for that matter, film cameras? Again, replaced by innovation. True casino innovation is rare these days so when something innovative does come along it is especially exciting. We also know that our industry is known as a copy cat industry where most casinos copy new or innovative ideas in lieu of developing them. There is nothing wrong with that if the innovative new idea is a productive idea.
Casino gaming has also gone through an evolutionary development and has also experienced its fair share of innovation. Just look at the recent developments and success of slot machine gaming. Slots now out-perform table game revenues in most markets around the world except in Asia. That could possibly change as well as the innovation process continues with machines and programs designed to attract Asian players. However, for now, table games and in particular, Baccarat is still the preferred game in Asia.
However, Baccarat is the only game of the traditional big 4 table games (Roulette, Craps, Blackjack and Baccarat) that does not have a built in mechanism to produce the House Advantage. It is unique in relying upon an external devise, i.e. the collection of commission. Baccarat, especially in Asia, is the only traditional game that has forfeited the rhythm (hands per hour) of the game to the players or customers. The thought of a customer holding a pair of dice while thinking what to bet next (or what to have for dinner) sends shivers down the spines of seasoned casino managers that have this phrase forever imprinted in their minds – "MOVE THE DICE!" Time is money and the number of hands per hour represents money to most casino operators. Yet, this is exactly what happens in Baccarat pits today as a matter of fact. Consequently, Baccarat usually suffers from a very weak overall hold. In some casinos the Baccarat HPH (hands per hour) is down to 35 hands per hour or even lower. Baccarat (Mini- Bac) was a casino game that used to clock over 100 HPH. As a result of today's "squeeze" games where the players slowly squeeze open the hands the speed of the game has decreased dramatically and as a result the turnover is also decreased.
In an effort to compensate this low Baccarat hold percentage, innovative operators have therefore concentrated on developing and incorporating high percentage "proposition" bets into the game. The unintended consequence of these offerings is that they cause the game to slow down even more by offering more options to just a few players. The great majority of players are too educated to actually bet expensive "prop" bets in Baccarat on a consistent basis. How many Craps players would bet "boxcars" on a regular basis? Consequently, the big money for the casino lays with the low odds bets – Pass / Don't Pass, Banker / Player – period.
Upon examining Baccarat by breaking down the different components of the game under actual operating conditions, one will find that the commission process takes up to 60% of the total process time in Baccarat. That's right, 60% of the time since the dealer is involved with calculating, taking, mistaking, fighting, apologizing and defending the unwieldy commission. By the way, looking at the other side of the table, the customer is taking the opposite position and also going through the same process. This is not a formula for happiness with both casino management or with your customers.
So, how does one resolve such a bugaboo or dilemma in casinos around the world? One can resolve it via casino innovation. A relatively new version of Baccarat known as EZ Baccarat is just such an innovative new product that plays without the commission dilemma. This is not a new game but rather a new operating system for Baccarat. It is the Microsoft Windows of the world of Baccarat. It is that innovative. This is one of the best solutions to the problem that Baccarat has faced for the past 100 years or before Baccarat was bankrolled by the customers themselves resulting in casinos being forced to take the 5% commission from the pot. This new version called EZ Baccarat now puts the game on par with other table games that do not stop the winner every time to ask him or her to fork over part of their winnings to the casino. The last time a traditional table game was superseded by an innovation that proved to be unstoppable was French Roulette (the game with tuxedos, 3 dealers, one or two supervisors, the same color chips, etc.) by a brash newcomer called American Roulette. Every one of the arguments being brandied about in the defense of Baccarat versus EZ Baccarat were heard before in the defense of French Roulette, e.g. "the players love it's tradition and will never change to a new style of Roulette; possibly only the little players will play it but the VIP player will never change from French Roulette, etc., etc." You remember French Roulette – or do you?
Along the same lines, long suffering table game managers who can fall asleep waiting for the next hand of Baccarat to be played, there is help available today via EZ Baccarat. EZ Baccarat has solved the dilemma of how to collect commission without affecting the traditional game which is favored by their Asian players in particular. With a single rule, borrowed from Craps where the 12 is barred on the "don't come / don't pass" bet, it manages to avoid collecting commission with effectiveness, practicality and pure elegant simplicity. Here is the trick: when the Bank wins with a 7 made of three cards, it is a "push" on the bank. That's it. As long as those three must-have conditions are met, then you have what is known as a "Dragon Seven" (more on this later). This little piece of DNA or casino innovation changes everything that needs to be changed, namely, no more collecting of 5% commission on winning Bank bets. Everything that is related to the commission collection process magically disappears; from figuring out the amounts, to collecting it, to disagreements, to doubts and calls to Surveillance, to the customers complaining to the dealer or from the Table Inspector or Pit boss fighting with the customer. All of this disappears and the qualitative indicators of the game become superb in the eyes of the player. The dealers are less stressed, the supervisors now have the time to take care of the customer's needs without risking the integrity of the game and the customers, yes, the customers, are also quite happy and stress free as well so they hopefully will also do what we want them to do –stay and play longer at the table.
Qualitative advantages for customers are oftentimes quickly dismissed by frustrated casino managers or supervisors. However, if each customer stays at the table just for an additional 30 minutes of play time because they are having a good time the results will show in the revenue increase or hold percentage of the game. Remember, time is money and EZ Baccarat can also result in more HPH as well as increased seat time. The developers of EZ Baccarat also point out some of the benefits to the customers as well and why they believe that many players will want to convert to the EZ Baccarat game. The equivalent commission percentage in EZ Baccarat is 4.94% versus the traditional 5% which even though small it is still more advantageous to the customer. Correspondingly, the overall house odds goes from 1.058 % to 1.018% which is also, albeit, a very small reduction in favor of the customer. In addition, the player will now enjoy a hassle free, commission free game along with a chance to cash in on the new Dragon Seven bet which pays 40 to 1.
What it is:The EZ Baccarat table game solves the principle problem

What is a difference between The Snark Knight and Knight in Sour Armor anyway? They're both similar

I have to object to the reason for deleting Fred Phelps, which claims that he is rather a Straw Nihilist or a Misanthrope Supreme. Misanthrope Supreme requires committing or condoning murder, which, at the moment, Phelps has not done, so he doesn't fit that trope. Straw Nihilist is about a character who believes life is meaningless because everything is going to be destroyed. Given that Phelps is a fundamentalist Christian who believes in the existence of an afterlife, he doesn't fit that trope either.
06:41:36 AM Nov 17th 2013
Although his considering of natural disasters and wars as just divine wrath may qualify him for Misanthrope Supreme.

I'm confused by the trope. The laconic description implies that the snark is a coping mechanism similar to that of the StepfordSmiler's, but the desciption itself says nothing about hiding emotions with snark (outside of a brief refernce to Stepford Smiler that says that, while the snark can be a mask, it isn't always.) and implies that the character snarks because she is thinks everyone else is stupid. So which is it? Does she snark to hide her feelings or to "crusade against idiocracy"?
12:17:12 AM Dec 24th 2010
I don't see how Sokka, Toph, or Hermione fit this trope. Can someone explain this to me?
08:05:25 PM Nov 29th 2010
I really don't see the point in this page's existence. It's just a Knight in Sour Armour mixed with a Deadpan snarker. Does this really need to be a seperate trope?
06:19:28 PM May 23rd 2010
I really don't like the differentiation from Deadpan Snarker. I get that they're two different tropes, but "smarmy bystander" is badly misleading, and the standards central to the character don't really sound impossibly high. I'm not quite sure how to change it, but this has bugged me for a long time.
05:25:27 PM Mar 22nd 2010
I'd like to speak to the person who added Shadow. One part of the Daria trope, as I understand it, is a blanket morality that is universally and consistently applied to the self and others. Shadow seems to have no sense of morality, just a visceral need to protect soft-spoken girls and women. His complete lack of morality outside of that and his tendency to expect people to mind their business outside of competition or fulfilling promises would seem to be an opposite to this philosophy... unless of course you see that amorality as a code of its own. I guess I just want to hear what you have to say on it before I ponder looking into procedure to delete and inaccurate example.

It's related to the previous name. The trope got renamed because of the tendency to try to stay away from "The X" type names—and for once, this is better.
10:59:49 AM Apr 23rd 2010
How is "The Snark Knight" different from "The Daria"? It looks like a false positive and you have achieved nothing in changing it to stay away from "The X" type names.

Morgan Wick: It's descriptive rather than just being a name from a show not everyone knows with other personality traits. EDIT: Although it's not terribly descriptive of the trope, either, and STILL makes one wonder before reading the description, "What's the difference between this and Deadpan Snarker?"
11:41:42 PM Sep 19th 2010
This is NOT a good trope name change. It changes something people already knew or could easily find out into something easily confusable with other tropes and not descriptive of the trope itself. Really, Daria is the quintessential example, why change it if it just makes things more difficult?
07:04:18 PM Sep 9th 2012
(in case anyone else asks the same question) Because the TV show Daria has been off the air for a decade, the show had limited market penetration even when it was on, that is not the only character in history to have that name, and that is not the intended Daria's only personality trait. It is TV Tropes policy to avoid naming tropes after characters whenever possible, for these and other reasons.

Believe it or not the Major League regular season starts in Tokyo on Wednesday, and that means it's time for my annual bold predictions. The choices come mainly from a fantasy perspective, and are for entertainment purposes only. No wagering.
(Note: My column will be moving to Tuesdays starting next week. Follow me on Twitter
For 11 straight years Albert Pujols finished in the Top 10 in NL voting for MVP, winning three. He'll be a strong candidate in his first AL season, too, but the man who was often referred to as Pujols-lite early in his career, Miguel Cabrera, is my pick, especially with the newfound protection of Prince Fielder in the Tigers' potent lineup.
It's hard to fathom Matt Kemp repeating a 2011 season in which he produced a 10 WAR and led the NL in home runs, RBIs, runs scored and total bases while finishing second in slugging, OPS and stolen bases. All that plus a Gold Glove and the Hank Aaron Award as the NL's best hitter. Yet because his team was buried in the standings, he lost the MVP race to Milwaukee's Ryan Braun, which should give Kemp extra motivation this year as he enters his age 27 season, a.k.a. the prime of this career.
The AL is oozing talent, so this will be one of the most hotly-contested races of the award season. Last year's recipient, Justin Verlander, should be in the thick of things again, as will the power trio of Dan Haren, Jered Weaver and C.J. Wilson in Anaheim and Tampa Bay's quartet of David Price, James Shields, Jeremy Hellickson and rookie Matt Moore. However, I believe the best pitcher in the AL will be Yu Darvish, who has arrived in the United States by allowing just six hits in nine spring innings. Working closely with the majors' best pitching coach, Mike Maddux, and one of the greatest hurlers of any era, Mike's brother Greg Maddux, will only make a pitcher who's never seen his ERA finish above 2.00 or his WHIP above 1.02 in Japan even more baffling to North American hitters.
Although the Phillies' big three of Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels will be in the thick of the discussion, Charlie Manuel's offense is severely wounded, which will inevitably hold down the wins total necessary in a tight race like this. In fact, the only NL team with an elite staff that markedly improved its offense during the offseason is San Francisco with three strong contenders in Matt Cain, Madison Bumgarner and my pick, Tim Lincecum. Look for "The Freak" to bounce back from two "down" seasons to capture his third career Cy.
It would be a foregone conclusion that Yu Darvish would take the award, but given the anti-Japanese import bias seen in the past, there's a good chance the voters will go in another direction. The next best choice is another former MLB outsider, Oakland centerfielder Yoenis Cespedes, who looks like he could moonlight for the Raiders, much like the player his skill set and physique is often compared to, Bo Jackson. Among traditional rookies emerging from the minor leagues, it would be hard to bet against Matt Moore, the fire-balling lefty who mowed down the AL Champion Rangers while barely breaking a sweat in last year's ALDS.
The NL's best prospect, Bryce Harper, entered camp with an outside chance to stick as a regular out of camp, but the Nationals braintrust decided he needed a little more seasoning. Although he'll start the season playing for the Triple-A Syracuse Chiefs learning how to play centerfield, he should accrue enough time in Washington throughout the summer to claim the NL's top prize for newcomers.
It's been nearly two years since Morales' career was halted due to a broken left ankle suffered while celebrating a walk off home run. Now he's ready to return to a lineup much more powerful than the one he once anchored. In his absence the Angels added Mark Trumbo and Albert Pujols, which will make Morales the team's primary DH. After starting slowly this spring, he's shown signs of being the same powerful hitter he was when he left. He won't steal any bases but a .290/.350/.475 season with 25 home runs and 90 RBIs is not merely a fantasy.
There is no more important member of the Giants than Buster Posey, who returns this season following a broken leg suffered in a May collision at home plate. The team's best hitter and a rock behind the plate, he was the key to the 2010 championship run and will be once again now that he's back at full speed.
Andy Pettitte didn't retire because of injury, illness or other physical malady, but because he wanted to spend more time with his family. Now that he had his fill of home life, Pettitte will be back in pinstripes by early May, trying to pick up where he left off, which was pretty effective in his last season: 11-3, 3.28 ERA, 1.27 WHIP.
The Cardinals need an ace with Chris Carpenter out with nerve problems. Luckily for Mike Matheny he had another in house in the form of Adam Wainwright, who is back after missing the entire 2011 World Series campaign recovering from Tommy John surgery. Wainwright has been lights-out this spring, having pitched 14 shutout innings while holding opponents to a .114 batting average. He should out-distance New York's Johan Santana and Colorado's ageless wonder Jamie Moyer for the honor.

The Construction of Evidence-Based Psychotherapy: An Anthropological Inquiry into Health Care Infrastructure
In recent decades, health care has been transformed by a movement towards so called evidence-based medicine. Foundational in this movement is the development of regional, national and transnational organizations for health technology assessment. A primary motivation for this movement is found in the perceived need to accomplish a more efficient health care apparatus. Yet through the methods employed by assessment organizations – making use of large quantities of data available through the new information and communication technologies – the concept of evidence is given a specific meaning, which also affects the way healing is thought about and accomplished.
This study aims to investigate the construction of evidence-based psychotherapy in Sweden. Fieldwork will be conducted in various organizations involved in constructing and upholding national guidelines for psychotherapeutic treatments, with the specific focus on how such ideals and practices transforms psychotherapy. The study thereby raises questions about how illness and health are conceptualized, how expertise is constructed and organized, and more generally about the constitution of health care infrastructure in a knowledge-based economy.
Hans Tunestad is currently lecturer at the Department of Social Anthropology at Stockholm University, from where he also received his PhD in May 2014. He is interested in the intertwinement of therapy and economy in contemporary welfare society.

EDITORIAL: Voter turnout was dismal
Published 4:10 am, Friday, March 7, 2014
If you're a glass-half-full kind of person in Jefferson County, you can be proud that the county's turnout for this week's primary election was nearly double the state average. But if you're a realist, the turnout was dismal in Jefferson County and the entire state.
The statewide turnout was only 9.6 percent of registered voters, and Jefferson County's was 15.9 percent. And both numbers don't include the eligible adults who are not registered to vote, meaning that actual participation was even lower.
That's lame. Throughout Southeast Texas, voters had important and exciting races to decide in both parties - along with a statewide ballot loaded with equally compelling contests. If you couldn't be persuaded to vote in this election, it's hard to imagine what it takes to pry you off the couch.
To those who voted, congratulations. If you didn't, like 84 percent of the registered voters in Jefferson County, please do better next time.

Cheap dinner after long run in Brooklyn
My friend and I are training for the NYC marathon and the only thing that motivates us is running to food destinations. For example, last weekend we ran from Harlem to Prospect Heights for a delicious brunch. Tomorrow we have to run 13, so we were thinking of running to BK, but would love an awesome, cheap place to eat where we can come in sweaty and gross. I was thinking Mexican in Sunset Park, but all suggestions are welcome!

WEEKLY POLL | Community News | EQUINE | Schools & Buses
Almost one third of local health care workers did not receive flu shot
by Chris Daponte
About 63 per cent of health care workers in local hospitals and nursing and retirement homes received a flu shot this season - down 3% from a year ago and still well short of the 80% target.
Rita Sethi, director of community health and wellness with Wellington Dufferin Guelph Public Health (WDGPH), said while a few facilities managed to achieve 100% immunization, overall the results are not up to par.
"Of the six hospitals, only one managed to meet [the 80% goal]," she said. "We'd like to see that rise dramatically ... we would like to see everyone at 80% or higher."
Like the general public, there are a number of reasons some health care workers do not receive the flu shot, ranging from a self-perceived resiliency to the flu to a belief the shot does not work.
"People need to recognize that by getting the flu shot, they're not just protecting themselves, but those around them," said Sethi.
She noted that adding to the apprehension some people have about getting the flu shot were media reports late last year about the efficacy of the shot, as well as an "Agriflu scare" in the fall (Health Canada suspended distribution of two vaccines - Agriflu and Fluad - to examine white floating material in the vaccines, but later announced the shots were fine).
Sethi also cautioned about comparing this season's results with past years, as the reporting period increased this year, as did requirements (workers on contract, independent physicians and volunteers were not included this year, but have been in the past).
However, due to the less-than-ideal results this year, Sethi said WDGPH officials will continue to encourage health care workers to receive the flu shot and are investigating new ways to educate them and encourage immunization.
The results
Last week's WDGPH report states the average rates for staff immunization within its catchment area were 79% in long-term care homes, 77% in retirement homes and 52% in hospitals.
Those figures are up 8% and 3% and down 3% respectively, but all were still below the 80% national target set by the National Advisory Committee on Immunization.
According to the WDGPH report, that committee, along with the Ontario Hospital Association (OHA), has stated the immunization of health care workers is "a standard of care which is essential for the protection of patients and residents."
Further, a flu protocol developed in 2010 by the OHA and the Ontario Medical Association states "health care workers and their employers have a duty to actively promote, implement and comply with influenza immunization recommendations."
Over the past seven flu seasons in the WDGPH area, health care worker immunization rates peaked in 2006-07 at 69%.
The results for the following six seasons are:
- 64% in 2007-08;
- 65% in 2008-09;
- 61% in 2009-10, the year of the H1N1 outbreak;
- 56% in 2010-11;
- 66% in 2011-12; and
- 63% this year.
The board report concludes that "in spite of efforts of health care facilities to improve [health care worker] influenza immunization rates through voluntary campaigns, convenient access to influenza vaccine and staff incentive initiatives, influenza coverage among [health care workers] continues to fall below the national target of 80%."
The board of health hopes to "reinforce" the importance of the flu shots for health care workers by following the recommendations of Medical Officer of Health Dr. Nicola Mercer, which include:
- sending congratulatory letters to all facilities that achieved an 80% immunization rate;
- formally acknowledging (with a certificate for public display) the Royal Terrace in Palmerston for achieving a 100% immunization rate; and
- publicly disclosing flu shot rates on the WDGPH website.
Long-term care facilities
For nursing homes, several were within the 62 to 76% range, including Caressant Care in Fergus and Morriston Park.
The facilities with a rate exceeding the national target include:
- Avalon Care Centre in Orangeville;
- Caressant Care Arthur;
- Caressant Care Harriston;
- Eden House;
- Elliot Community in Guelph;
- Riverside Glen in Guelph;
- the Royal Terrace (again 100%); and
- the Wellington Terrace in Aboyne.
Retirement homes
The overall flu shot rate for health care workers in WDGPH-area nursing homes during the 2011-12 season was 79% (Hamilton House and Hometown Living in Harriston did not report their rates).
Highland Manor in Fergus had the lowest rate of retirement homes in the WDGPH area this season at 44%. The Royal on Gordon in Guelph came in at 54% while a number of others ranged from 62 to 78%.
Thirteen homes had a rate exceeding the national target including Caressant Care facilities in Arthur, Fergus and Harriston; Eden House in Guelph-Eramosa; and the Hillsburgh Rest Home and Royal Terrace in Palmerston, which both received 100%.
Immunization rates for health care workers at area hospitals were far below the national target (52% overall) and also by far the lowest of all types of facilities.
However, the rate for Groves Memorial in Fergus was up substantially, from barely above 50% in 2011-12 to 66% this year.
Homewood Health Centre in Guelph (49%) was about the same as last year, while Headwaters hospital in Orangeville dropped from nearly 55% last year to 40% - the lowest rate of any facility in the area for 2012-13.
Guelph General Hospital's rate was down slightly to 52%, and North Wellington Health Care hospitals in Mount Forest and Palmerston had rates of 76% and 85% respectively (last year they were classified as one).

This requested exemption is just the latest in a long line of moves to deny shareholders any financial or relevant information on THEIR company.
The only correspondence I've received since the six preferred dividends were missed triggering the provision for the preferred shareholders to elect two members of the board, has been, first, the notice of the meeting and the nomination form, and second, a notice that there was no quorum, and the meeting was cancelled. My guess is that management and related parties hold over 50% of the stock insuring impossibility of a quorum. The SEC report is the only chance we have of ever knowing anything relating to our investment.
