The Doctor is On (the Internet)
By Jason Kohn, Contributing Columnist
Reading through the statistics on mental health is enough to make you, well, kind of depressed.
According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), an estimated 26.2 percent of American adults – more than one in four – suffer from some form of mental illness each year. Nearly 10 percent of the U.S. population – nearly 21 million adults – suffer from a mood disorder such as depression or anxiety, and about 6 percent live with a serious mental illness that significantly impedes their ability to live and work.
And according to the World Health Organization, the numbers are just as dire globally, with more than 450 million people worldwide suffering from mental illness.
At the same time, many people with mental illness go untreated. An NIH survey found that just over half of U.S. adults with serious mental illness receive treatment. And this lack of care has real economic costs. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness:
Without treatment the consequences of mental illness for the individual and society are staggering: unnecessary disability, unemployment, substance abuse, homelessness, inappropriate incarceration, suicide and wasted lives; The economic cost of untreated mental illness is more than 100 billion dollars each year in the United States.
Why does such a big public health problem go untreated so often? Part of the answer lies in our continuing stigmatization of mental illness, and a reluctance of people suffering to seek treatment. But an even bigger problem is a lack of access to mental healthcare professionals. As Camille Laudicina wrote in the Billings Gazette:
The lack of availability stems from the shortage of mental-health care providers and the unequal distribution of those providers. Psychiatrists are in short supply across the country, especially in rural settings….
Access to care not only means the ability to travel to seek mental-health services but also includes having the means to pay for those services. Obtaining care in rural areas may require traveling several hours for a single visit. This may take time away from work, and traveling long distances can be costly.
Technology may not be able to erase the stigma of mental illness, but it can certainly erase many of the barriers to accessing care. And a number of companies are now seeking to do just that by providing mental health services anywhere, in the privacy of your own home, online.
Telemental Health
Health economist Jane Sarasohn-Kahn published a report last year for the California HealthCare Foundation on the growing mental healthcare options available online. The report details a number of interesting applications emerging in this space, including:
- Online counseling
- Computer-based cognitive behavioral therapy
- Mobile apps that help people track moods and manage stress
- Virtual reality-based therapy
- Using social networks for group therapy and support
As Sarasohn-Kahn writes:
…the emerging array of technology-enabled psychotherapeutic interventions are expanding access to free and low-cost care for people with mild-to-moderate depression. Web-based interventions come in a variety of forms, from static-information websites to online therapy, patient-led support groups, and interactive multimedia therapeutic programs.
Importantly, some of these new platforms and formats, as well as their business and privacy characteristics, might help overcome some of the traditional barriers to mental health care.
The report provides an excellent survey of the range of applications out there, and is worth checking out in its entirety. Also worth checking out is the International Society for Mental Health Online, which is dedicated to promoting the development and use of online technology to aid mental health providers and patients.
Connecting with Providers Online
Another fascinating innovation in this space are new companies using the Internet to connect people to mental health services more conveniently and discreetly. Stephanie Buck at Mashable recently wrote about one such company, TalkSession. In many ways, the service works like an online dating service — asking patients to provide information about themselves, and then matching them with the right providers and services for their needs.
…patients will be able to use TalkSession to search for therapists that match several criteria, such as location, insurance and specialty…. patients will begin by filling out a 15-part questionnaire to match them with the best available professional. Choose whether you prefer a male or female therapist, whether that person is open to alternative treatment plans, and even whether he or she likes the same books as you. The survey mimics the traditional intake exam most patients must complete before being matched with a therapist. From there, TalkSession's HIPAA-compliant algorithm will select a pool of ideal therapy solutions. Patients may opt for a treatment plan in their area or — if they're one of the 80 million Americans who lives in an area too rural for mental health care — they'll be able to check in from a laptop or tablet.
Expanding Access
Will solutions like these solve all our public health problems around mental illness? Likely not, but they're a good start. And when extrapolated worldwide — especially to developing economies — the implications are potentially profound.
Kate Torgovnick of the TED Blog recently highlighted this problem in discussing the work of mental health advocate Vikram Patel:
If you translate the percentage of psychiatrists in the population in the United Kingdom to India, you'd expect to see about 150,000 of them. But in the world's second most populous country, the actual number of psychiatrists is closer to 3,000. The situation is as dire in other countries, too. In Zimbabwe — a country of nearly 3 million — there are only about a dozen psychiatrists, almost all of them practicing in the same city.
In the connected future, telemental health could be a way to help literally millions of people who are suffering, who have no other way to access treatment. It's a long way off, but if we get there, that will be something we can all feel good about.

Children who are malnourished or even experiencing short-term hunger have limited capacities to learn. School feeding programs are a way to reduce hunger and improve the nutrition of children so that they are able to concentrate, understand and perform well academically. The meals that they receive at school contribute a great deal to better nourishment, good health and better academic performance for those children and their thinking ability is improved. This also lowers the burden of school drop-outs and diseases for society and government to bear.

Nothing much is known about Thomas Howard. I'm not even completely sure he was the father of my 3rd great-grandfather, John Howard, but Frances Yeager Dunham makes the case that he was in her book Howards in Southeastern Kentucky.
According to Dunham, several of Thomas Howard's children came to southeastern Kentucky in the very early 1800s (maybe from Georgia by way of Russell County, Virginia) with Thomas' brother, James. She identifies Thomas, James, John, Benjamin, Julida, Elizabeth, William and Celia Howard as the children of Thomas Howard and includes Moses as a possibility with the notation that he may be the son of the younger Thomas.
|John Covey Howard, son of John & Mary
Dunham's book is also my main source for the children of Thomas' son, John Howard, and his wife, Mary Risner — Larkin, Elizabeth, John Covey (my 2nd great-grandfather), Michael, William R. Mary, Sarah, Catherine, Phoebe and Robert.
DNA results are solidifying some of those relationships, too. Mom and I match a descendant of Larkin and Mom matches two descendants of William R. We have several other matches showing Howard as a surname and I expect some of those will turn out to belong in this line as well.

Pan Dulce
Otherwise, more properly it seems, known as Concha! I don't like them, but I think for the 1st time making them I did fairly well. The proof is in the tasting though, so come the morning the kids & husband will let me know (I'm sure).
If it turns out they like them, I'll post the recipe on the recipe blog. If not, well I guess its back to the mixing bowl.

Given his devotion to Altadena, you might think that Timothy Rutt, writer/editor/chief bottlewasher at Altadenablog.com, was a native. In fact, he hails from Fort Collins, Colorado, and he found his way to California the way so many do — seeking success in the entertainment industry. After earning a journalism degree from the University of Colorado, he became part of a comedy troupe in Boulder. He and a troupe partner headed for Hollywood (by way of a Pasadena apartment), where, as he says, "We both failed to break into television together."
Although the TV career didn't happen, he liked living in the San Gabriel Valley, so he set off on the journey of building a life: working as a speechwriter, copywriter and public information officer, marrying, having a daughter, divorcing, leaving his job to earn a masters of divinity at the Claremont School of Theology, deciding he really didn't want to be a Unitarian minister after all, remarrying (Mary, a physician at Kaiser), moving to a 1938 Shingle-Style revivial house in Altadena, and having two more children. Their youngest, Rosie, was born with Down's Syndrome and Hirschsprung's disease; about two months after her birth, older brother Jake was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. The kids needed a lot of care, so Tim became a full-time dad.
But with each passing day, more and more Altadenans and Pasadenans know him as the proprietor of Altadenablog.com, a hyperlocal blog run with the professionalism of a seasoned journalist. And just when his life got even more complicated, because his wife was going in for surgery, the Station Fire swept the San Gabriels, and Altadenablog became one of the most important sites in the region.
Now that the ash has settled, I stole some of Tim's precious time for a chat.
What inspired you to start the blog two years ago?
A lot of things just fell into place at once. For one, the kids were getting older and going to school, and I really felt the need to re-enter the grownup world on some level to maintain my sanity.
Meanwhile, my college roommate and his wife started West Seattle Blog, a hyperlocal website for their area of Seattle, which is geographically isolated from the rest of the city. She was working as a television news producer, and he was a stay-at-home dad. It started off as her hobby — anonymous notes on the neighborhood. Then West Seattle suffered a big windstorm, with power going out, streets flooding, bus routes getting jumbled — and they turned it into a local news blog, since no one else was covering what was going on in a useful way. Since they're both journalists, they knew exactly what to do, readership skyrocketed, and after the crisis had passed, they just kept reporting news. Finally, she quit her job, and he started selling ads. It's easily the best of its kind, and now they're to the point where they can hire people to run it so they can go on vacation occasionally. They continue to inspire me.
The third part of the equation was that I discovered there was no central place to find out what was going on in Altadena. You could check the Star-News, get the handouts at the library and senior center, read the marquee at Bryant's Cleaners, look at the flyers in the Coffee Gallery… and who's going to do all that? Altadena had a lot of blogs, and some of them touched on newsy events, but nobody was doing what I thought needed to be done systematically. Altadena needed a "bucket" where you can find everything, and that's what I've been striving to be for two years.
During the Station Fire, your site became one of the most valuable — if not the most valuable — for locals, and I know your traffic went through the roof. And at the time you had a wife recovering from surgery and two small kids. How did you do it all?
It was all very sudden. My wife checked herself into the ER with an elevated heart rate, and they found a problem that required open-heart surgery. I knew I had to take care of the kids, but I also wanted to spend time at the hospital with her, so I arranged between my friends and people at our church (St. Mark's Episcopal in Altadena) to cover me with the kids for four hours a day so I could visit the hospital. Our church family is also really good at casseroles, so I knew we'd be well fed! I figured I'd just do my usual posts at either end of the day, and not go into the field to cover stuff until things calmed down at home.
Then the Station Fire flared up. The reporter side of me knew that this is the kind of event the blog was meant for. My Germanic sense of duty said, "You must do this, you must be here!" The businessman in me said, "This could be your tipping point, your West Seattle windstorm that will bring readers and advertisers — you gotta step up!" And the family man part of me said "You owe your kids and your wife, too." So it became a matter of figuring out how to balance all those.
I knew I couldn't go out in the field to do interviews and take pictures, which is what I love to do. So I decided that I would just collect information wherever I could find it, boil it down and present it in posts when I could, usually at the beginning and end of the day when the kids were asleep, or sometimes when they were occupied with TV, since we couldn't go outside. So that's what I did. What impressed me was type of comments I was getting from readers — people were reporting what was going on in their neighborhoods, volunteering to help pets or whatever. I suddenly had a staff of reporters!
I had been moderating the blog's comments, but the Station Fire was different. The quality of information was so high, and its relevance so timely, I decided that I wasn't serving the readers by posting comments only when I could get to the computer — it all had to get out immediately. So I lifted moderation, and that changed the game entirely — the open comments were spreading quality information in real time even when I had to be absent. The blog was essentially running itself! But I was still putting in 18-hour days, because I considered this damned important, and I wanted to know everything that was going on.
And I think one of the factors that helped boost Altadenablog, frankly, was that the broadcast media failed utterly. The Saturday night at the height of the fire, as neighborhoods in Altadena were being evacuated, we were all breathing smoke, as I could see visible flames from my home — KFWB and KNX were running ball games. TV wasn't doing a thing. Altadenablog became the only place you could find real-time information. I'm proud of that, but as a community journalist, I was disgusted that nobody in the broadcast media had deployed reporters. Those airwaves are supposed to serve the public interest, not just act as a license to print money. I'm still really upset by it.
Altadenablog is a prime example of hyperlocal journalism, which some say is our future. Do you think printed newspapers will fail and small community blogs like yours will fill the void?
No medium has ever replaced another medium — maybe the only exception is when the codex (book) replaced the scroll! The new medium comes in, and the old media have to change to accommodate it. Film didn't replace print, radio didn't replace film, TV didn't replace radio, the Internet didn't replace TV. The new medium may take on some functions of the old media, and old media may be used in different ways, but they'll never go away. We'll always have newspapers — we just don't know what they'll look like in a few years.
That said, this is a very difficult time for newspapers. A lot of their expense is not about producing content — they also have to run a printing plant and a distribution system. I don't have those expenses. At the same time, I depend on print newspapers, particularly the Star-News, to plug some gaps. I'm just one guy operating out of my house and not really making money at it right now. I drop in links from the Star-News and Pasadena Weekly when they cover things I can't. There are a couple of stories here in Altadena that just BEG for major investigative reporting — but I can't do it. Newspapers are better at it.
But small community news sites are filling a void. Maybe the Star-News has laid off its Altadena beat reporter, but stuff still goes on here that people need to know about. A church school with 200 students opens up without warning in a residential neighborhood… the retirement community that flattened several acres of ground for their buildings suddenly pulls out… the North Lake merchants and local artists throw a community party… a town councilman is subject to an ethics investigation — that all still goes on. I broke all of those stories, and some of them were never picked up by other media. Print is doing so much less, leaving so many gaps, and the smart local news sites will step in to fill them.
What do you like to do when you can pry yourself off the computer?
My church calls me their "preacher and teacher." I've been teaching a six-week crash course in the New Testament for almost ten years now, both at All Saints in Pasadena and at St. Mark's. This summer, I taught a course on the book of Acts. I've taught a confirmation class. I also fill in at our pulpit on Sunday as needed.
My great love is music — I play guitar and piano. My wife and I like to go to what are called song circles, or hootenannys — just people sitting around, singing and playing acoustic instruments. Yeah, we're hopelessly unhip. We also like Rogers & Hammerstein musicals.
If I ever get free time, I read books about Biblical scholarship or murder mysteries. Robert Parker is a big favorite.
Who is your favorite Altadena resident, past or present?
Oh, Professor TSC Lowe, of course! Aeronaut, inventor, entrepreneur, dreamer: "A resort on top of a mountain, accessible only by rail car? Impossible, Professor!" The man is the definition of steampunk! Technically, he was a resident of Pasadena, but he left a big mark here, maybe the biggest! My second favorite would have to be Zane Grey, as he was my grandfather's favorite writer.
Why Altadena?
The flip answer would be, "Because South Pasadena is too expensive!" When our son Jake was born, we were living in a small house in Pasadena and looking very hard at moving to South Pas, but only found expensive dumps. We weren't actually planning to buy our home in Altadena. But we fell in love with it, and it's where we need to be.
I'm a student of Benedictine spirituality, and Benedictine religious people pledge a loyalty to the place where they live. So I've spent the past few years as a student of Altadena, learning everything there is to know about my place. I love its closeness to wilderness, its rough edges and undefined character, and the interesting people in the past and the present who make it home.

Gadgets and apps to help you get (and stay) fit and healthy in 2019
Let's start 2019 as we mean to go on -- by sitting less and moving more!
The winners in the Global Particle Physics Photowalk, which saw more than 200 photographers go behind the scenes at physics labs in Europe, North America and Asia, were announced on Thursday.
Hans-Peter Hildebrandt's image (above) of a wire chamber at Desy, the German electron synchrotron in Hamburg, topped an online vote by 1,300 photo fans to take the people's choice prize. It also came second in a global jury vote and first in a local jury competition.
"I am an amateur nature photographer and the subject — technology — was a great challenge," said Hildebrandt, a lead technician at a German manufacturer, in a Photowalk statement. "You don't get to see things like accelerators in tunnels very often."
After their visits on 7 August, the photographers sent in thousands of images to local competitions at the five particle physics facilities: Cern on the Swiss/French border, Triumf in Canada, Fermilab in the US, Kek in Japan and Desy. The top three winners in the local contests went through to the global jury and people's choice judging. Winners receive recognition, but no cash prize.

Diego Giol's photo of the test beamline for Linac 4 took first place in the local competition at Cern, the home of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
The Linac 4 linear accelerator is earmarked to take over from the 30-year-old Linac 2 at the physics complex. It is 86m long and promises to deliver beams at 160MeV, compared with the 50MeV beams provided by its predecessor. Cern expects Linac 4 to come into operation in 2013, when it will act as the first link in the proton acceleration chain for the LHC.
The photo shows the movable tuner and RF power coupler in Linac 4's medium-energy beam transport line. The cable in the foreground waits for the tuner's stepper motor.

Asia's top companies have been buffeted over the past year by surging crude oil prices, Japan's earthquake and nuclear crisis, and the flood and cyclone disasters in Australia.
But with record profits, strong economic growth and plenty of help from the liquidity provided by the world's central banks, these firms have continued to increase their value.
According to market capitalization data from Reuters, 11 of the top 20 most valuable Asian companies are Chinese, as of April 14, 2011. Nearly half a dozen of them are Australian firms; three are Japanese and one each Indian and South Korean.

Bayne Feels Pressure to Perform in Daytona
Trevor Bayne returns to Daytona International Speedway this week under more pressure than a 20-year-old should have to bear -- not because he's the defending Daytona 500 winner, but in spite of it.
Doors haven't opened for Bayne the way he and most of the racing world have expected -- despite his dashing good looks, his affable manner and his improbable victory in his second Sprint Cup start.
Bayne is back with the Wood Brothers this year, but his schedule calls for only 13 Cup races, four fewer than he ran last year. Racers to the core, the Woods used their winnings from last year's 500 to add four races to the schedule of the No. 21 Ford.
So if Bayne wants to race more than 13 times in 2012, he'd better start winning. A repeat victory at Daytona certainly wouldn't hurt.
"I feel like we've got just as good as shot as we did last year," Bayne said Monday during a break from a New York City media blitz. "Nobody really expected it. I didn't expect it. This year, we're going against the odds again, but that's what we're all about.
"We're a part-time team. The Wood Brothers are just incredible guys, and if anybody can do it, it's their team ... Last year we added those four races because of the win at Daytona -- the funds that came from that. So if we win again, we'll add those races again."
Bayne also is scheduled to run the first three Nationwide Series events of the season for Roush Fenway Racing. Anything beyond that depends on finding sponsorship. Bayne was four points out of the Nationwide championship lead last April when an illness thought to be Lyme disease sidelined him for more than a month.
"I wish we were running full-time Nationwide, because I want to run for the championship pretty badly," Bayne said. "It's hard to say whether that's going to happen or not. We're going to run those first three and kind of see where we're at -- hopefully, I'll just be leading the points, and it'll be hard for us to stop, and we'll collect some sponsorship and keep going.
"That's my agenda, to go up there and show everybody how to do it and get the points lead and make a statement there."
After winning the 500 Bayne had sanguine expectations to match his disposition, but the racing economy didn't cooperate.
"I thought it was kind of like ... we call 'em 'lifers,' I guess -- when somebody wins a race, they're in for their life in the Cup Series," Bayne said. "But it's tougher than that right now. It's so hard to break through as a young driver. If you don't have money, if you don't have funds personally, it's hard, because you don't have leverage with other sponsors or anything else.
"For me, it's just convincing guys that I can help their brand and be their race car driver and be their representative. That's what I'm trying to do. That's the hardest part of our sport right now. It's not driving anymore."
Though Bayne doubtless will enjoy the limelight accorded a Daytona 500 champion, he can anticipate his own feelings as he runs the warm-up laps before the green flag on Feb. 26.
"It's going to crazy, but it's kind of bittersweet, though," Bayne said. "You're the defending winner, but it's closer to the time when someone else will be -- unless you can back it up. So we're going for the back-up plan.
"Still it's been an awesome year. I think I'm probably going to have cold chills all over when I'm going around for the warm-up laps."
Even better for Bayne would be having something to celebrate some 200 laps later.

Detroit Bicycle Company: Madison Street Bike
Wow. I came across this bike as it was being posted on Chris's Facebook wall from my friend Colin. This right here is a custom, hand made track bike called the Madison Street Bike from Detroit Bicycle Company – I'm so excited to see such gorgeous hand built bikes coming out of Detroit (the city where I was born).
All Detroit Bicycles are built with Columbus SL tubing and are made, or built complete to your spec's. Just have a look at what this frame builder has to offer here.

The oldest ancestors of humankind were found in the early 20th century, 30 kilometres northwest of Johannesburg. These remains were preserved for millions of years thanks to a combination of limestone and other sediments which allowed for the formation and preservation of fossils.
The hilly landscape around Sterkfontein, Swartkrans and Kromdraai continues to yield a treasure trove of scientific information. The area is called 'The Cradle of Humankind'. The most complete skull of an Australopithecus africanus was found here in 1947. Scottish palaeontologist Robert Broom classified it as 'Plesianthropus transvaalensis', which means 'near-man from the Transvaal'. The more than 2½ million-year-old skull was quickly nicknamed 'Mrs. Ples' and became world-famous in no time.
More than 500 hominids have since been found here. In 2000, UNESCO added Sterkfontein and the adjacent area to its list of World Heritage Sites. There are a total of 6 caves in Sterkfontein, filled with beautiful stalagmites and stalactites. The largest cave, the Hall of Elephants, is 90 metres long and 23 metres high and contains an underground lake. The caves are located in the large Isaac Edwin Stegmann nature reserve. A guided tour is offered every half hour from Tuesday to Sunday between 9:00 am and 4:00 pm.
The excavations in 'The Cradle of Humankind' give an insight about life in the Stone Age and the Iron Age. Homo Ergaster, for instance, an extinct species of early human very similar to Homo Erectus, used stone tools as far back as 1 million years ago. The Greek term 'ergaster' means 'worker' and refers to the tools found together with the fossils.
The fossils and finds from this area can be seen in the Ditsong National Museum of Natural History in Pretoria. This stately building with a long colonnade can be seen from far off – as can the giant skeletons of dinosaurs and a whale in the museum park. Dozens of fossils, skeletons, hides and stuffed animals are on display, including an elephant. But the museum's greatest pride is undoubtedly the skull of Mrs. Ples.

UCONN FOOTBALL: Huskies need one more upset to become bowl eligible (videos)
STORRS -- In the social media-crazy world, the members of the UConn football team knew there was simply no escaping the court of public opinion.
A humbling 30-point loss at Syracuse was followed by a seven-point defeat on the road against South Florida. Sitting with a 3-6 record and in sole possession of last place in the Big East standings, a proud group of seniors was determined not to allow the naysayers break their spirit.
Knowing one more loss would deny them the opportunity to play in their third bowl game, the Huskies' veteran leaders were determined to write a script much different from the one penned outside the program.
UConn had to hold off a furious Pittsburgh rally to pick up Big East win No. 1 of 2012. Then came the upset of nationally ranked Louisville on the road to set the stage for Saturday's regular-season finale against Cincinnati (3:30 p.m., ABC).
The stakes are as clear as can be. If UConn wins, the Huskies will be bowl eligible for the fifth time in the last six seasons. With a loss the Huskies will have to deal with their second straight 5-7 season and left to ponder what could have been.
"I think you couldn't ask for more coming from where we were to where we are now," UConn senior receiver Nick Williams said. "To finish the season with the implications that this game could have, and for it to be senior day at home at the Rent, I don't think you could write a better script.
"Over a four- or five-year period you are going to have ups and downs. The journey is going to be what it has been for us. It has been a little more turbulent than maybe at other programs, but I think that would make it even sweeter in the end to go out with the win in front of the home crowd."
It won't be an easy task. With Louisville beating Rutgers on Thursday night, Cincinnati needs a win to force a four-way tie for first in the Big East standings. However, doing things the hard way is not a new phenomenon for this group of Huskies.
"I said a few weeks ago when we were 3-6 that we can't think about all of the games as a whole," UConn senior linebacker Jory Johnson said. "Just take them one game at a time and that is what we have done. Beating a very good Louisville team and beating Pitt at home; we have a chance to beat another good Cincinnati team at home. We've hit a good little stride out here at the end of the season and if we keep it up, I think we will be fine."
The seniors have experienced the joy of a victory over Notre Dame and a trip to the Fiesta Bowl. They also bid adieu to Randy Edsall, the coach who recruited them to Connecticut and led the program to its first BCS bowl appearance. Over the last two seasons there have been frustrating losses to contend with as well as the pain of seeing classmates Adam Masters, Jesse Joseph and Teddy Jennings suffer season-ending injuries. Now they have one last time to step onto Rentschler Field as a class with a chance to salvage a season where they had much higher hopes than needing a win just to reach the .500 mark.
"It's been a whirlwind now that I think about it," UConn senior tight end Ryan Griffin said. "Some of the games that come to mind are the Notre Dame game; last week's win was huge for us, so it has been a roller coaster. Every roller coaster comes to an end and this one is coming to an end.
"I think the lasting effect would be that it is known that I played with a bunch of warriors, guys who just didn't give up. It is easy at 3-6 to just say screw it. But we have some real characters on this team, guys I imagine I will be friends with for the rest of my life."
So what would be the emotions if the Huskies pull off their second straight upset and find themselves in another bowl game?
"It would be an amazing feeling considering a few weeks (ago) everybody counted us out, everybody wrote us off," Johnson said. "If we can come back and make a bowl game it would be one of the more special things that could happen here that I have been a part of."

Mindy Segal and Bruce Sherman are hoping five's a charm.
Rich Melman is hoping it's seven.
All three have been nominated — again — for James Beard Foundation Awards, which annually recognize the best chefs, restaurants and restaurant owners in the country.
The nominees — there are five in most categories — represent the top vote-getters from an earlier ballot of semifinalists, which is created by the Foundation's Restaurant and Chef Committee. (Disclosure: I sit on that committee.)
In the most prestigious category (the final award handed out at the Beards), Paul Kahan of Blackbird, The Publican, Avec and other, is a nominee in the Outstanding Chef award. A win would put Kahan in rarefied company; the only other Chicagoans to win Outstanding Chef have been Rick Bayless (1995), Charlie Trotter (1999) and Grant Achatz (2008).
Kahan is joined by his Blackbird colleague Patrick Fahy, a nominee in the Outstanding Pastry Chef category. It's Fahy's first nomination. "I'm shocked and speechless," Fahy said. "I'm very emotional right now. It's a ridiculously amazing honor. I hugged my fiancee and my mom."
For Mindy Segal, owner of Mindy's HotChocolate in Bucktown, this is the fifth consecutive year she has been nominated as the nation's Outstanding Pastry Chef, an award she has yet to win. Bruce Sherman is in a similar situation; this is the North Pond chef's fifth consecutive nomination in the Best Chef: Great Lakes category.
For the seventh straight year, Rich Melman, founder of the Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises restaurant empire, was nominated for Outstanding Restaurateur. Melman has been a nominee every year of the award's existence.
Girl & the Goat, the Randolph-corridor restaurant featuring chef Stephanie Izard, was nominated in the Best New Restaurant category, open only to restaurants that opened in 2010. The nomination isn't going to make reservations to Girl & the Goat, already one of the toughest tickets in town, any easier.
"We owe it all to our awesome staff, and all of our guests who make the Goat the fun place to work and dine that it is," Izard said.
Other nominees for Best Chef: Great Lakes (a region that encompasses Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio) are Michael Carlson of Schwa, Curtis Duffy of Avenues, Paul Virant of Vie and Alex Young of Zingerman's Roadhouse (in Ann Arbor, Mich.).
"Every nominee on that list is incredible," said Duffy. "They're all chefs with different styles of cuisines. It's kind of a shock, but I was very excited."
The front-of-house staff of 15 at Topolobampo, the fine dining Mexican restaurant by Rick Bayless, was nominated for Outstanding Service. "I think without a doubt this is the best service team we've ever had," Bayless said. "This is not about me at all. It's our front of house staff creating that special, unique experience for our guest."
The firm at JNL Graphic Design also received a nomination for Outstanding Restaurant Graphics for The Publican.
In the Journalism Awards, also announced Monday, the Tribune's Monica Eng (right) was nominated in the Environment, Food Politics and Policy category for her series on Chicago Public School's lunch program, and Michael Gebert and Julia Thiel of the Chicago Reader were nominated, in the multimedia category, for "Key Ingredient," a weekly print and video feature.
Journalism award winners will be announced on May 6. The Restaurant and Chef Awards will be announced at the foundation's Annual Gala on May 9.
A complete list of nominees can be found here.

Yet Another Copyright Troll Case Kicked Out Of Court, With Excellent Reasoning From The Judge
from the this-is-becoming-more-and-more-common dept
The magistrate judge, Howard R. Lloyd, notes that granting early discovery is only supposed to be done if doing so actually identifies the Does. And while the copyright holder, Hard Drive Productions, insists that it will, the judge notes that the plaintiff's own arguments prove this is simply not true. That's because they admitted that once they got the IP addresses, they would then need to contact the owner of the account and seek to identify who was actually using the account at the time.
Thus, plaintiff will only consider naming and serving a defendant after it has (1) contacted the ISP subscriber one or more times, (2) researched that subscriber and anyone else who might have used the ISP subscription, (3) met and conferred with the subscriber; (4) attempted to settle with the subscriber, (5) elicited evidence of a defense from the subscriber, (6) evaluated the credibility of that evidence, and (7) found it wanting. In addition, plaintiff also admits that in the event that a subscriber refuses to "participate" in the above process, plaintiff may need to request further discovery. It is abundantly clear that plaintiff's requested discovery is not "very likely" to reveal the identities of the Doe defendants. Indeed, plaintiff admitted at the hearing that neither it nor any other plaintiff it is aware of has ever served a single defendant in one of these cases where early discovery has been granted.The judge goes on to reject a number of other arguments as well, before denying the early discovery and dumping all but one of the defendants (also becoming standard in a lot of these lawsuits). But the conclusion discussion is where it gets really good:
The court realizes that this decision may frustrate plaintiff and other copyright holders who, quite understandably, wish to curtail online infringement of their works. Unfortunately, it would appear that the technology that enables copyright infringement has outpaced technology that prevents it. The court recognizes that plaintiff is aggrieved by the apparent infringement and is sympathetic toward its argument that lawsuits like this one are the only way for it to find and stop infringers. However, the court will not assist a plaintiff who seems to have no desire to actually litigate but instead seems to be using the courts to pursue an extrajudicial business plan against possible infringers (and innocent others caught up in the ISP net). Plaintiff seeks to enlist the aid of the court to obtain information through the litigation discovery process so that it can pursue a non-judicial remedy that focuses on extracting "settlement" payments from persons who may or may not be infringers. This the court is not willing to do.As these kinds of rulings continue to roll out of courts, hopefully a strong precedent is being set across the country that such lawsuits are simply not acceptable.

Hello. I am working through Scott Mitchell's ASP.Net in 24 hours book. I am finishing the photo album project.
I have a GridView that retrieves a list of uploaded photo rows for the logged-in user.The GridView is for editing and deleting rows.
The photo Category field in the Gridview is a dropdown list. The text entry field was deleted after converting this field to a Template.
Like the uploaded photos, these Categories are user-specific. They are created in another web page.
Users also have the option to select "none" for the category when they upload an image.
For the GridView: The Category ID field's ItemTemplate and EditItemTemplate both have a " - None - " choice added to them.
I am getting this error:
'pictureReadOnlyCategories' has a SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items. Parameter name: value
Note: The ID for the ItemTemplate for that dropdown list is the ID listed above in the error: "pictureReadOnlyCategories".
Am I missing some step in this process of changing a GridViews text field to a dropdown that can be used for editing? I went through the book's instructions three times.
Here is my code for the dropdown list and a screenshot of the Design
I have a generic list of a custom type. The custom type has a string and double.
I'm binding the list to a gridview and it outputs everything fine.
I'm trying to format the double column into a currency format. It is in a template field as I'm calculating a running total. I pass the value to a function that returns a double and adds the current value to a running total which I will show in the footer.
The format is not changing to currency as expected when using String.Format("{0:c}", GetTotal(Convert.ToDouble(Eval("Amount"))))
Any ideas on what might be going on and how to fix this?
Hi Folks,
2 Questions. I am trying out Data Entities in VWD 2010 Express. I have a parent (Customers) and child (Orders) table. Customers table has FirstName, LastName and Email columns.
Q1. When I view/edit/insert an Order, it shows the customer's first name in dropdown list whereas I want the full name. How can this be done?
Q2. How can I change the default behavior of PK/FK relationship so that customer's Email is displayed instead of Name?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Hi Everyone,
I have a strange problem:
There is an entity (Table) called "Filters" in my .edmx which has all my tables and stuff in it (to use it for LINQ queries)
I have created a class called "CustomFilters" which inherits "Filters". So now my cutom class has all the properties of the original "Filters" class (table) and 1 more additional property that i wanted which is a List of "CustomFilters":
List<CustomFilters> children = new List<CustomFilters>();
Now i get all my records into:
List<CustomFilters> theOriginalList = new List<CustomFilters>();
NOTE: first all records are tken into a List<Filters> and then these are added into List<CustomFilters> where List<CustomFilters> for children of that record is added, and then children of the child records, and so on......
so now, every record is an instance of CustomFilters which has a property named "children" which is a list again; and each child again has instanaces of "CustomFilters", and each instance again has children...and on and on and on.....
(basiacally its a data source for a treeview in my silverlight control)
every thing is good and working as expected.

text: '7' 1,002 Posted December 27, 2010 (edited) Yes I know this is the worst offensive team in NHL history that will likely break the 1998 Tampa Bay Lightning record for goal scoring futility (it will be a miracle if they even score 150 total goals this year)But Brodeur is just a disgrace right now. He's aged 10 years in 1 offseason. You saw bits and pieces of it in past seasons. He'd begin to tire and go into all out choke mode during the playoffs. Letting in an incalculable amount of softies at bad times. It's all come crashing down now...he is perhaps the worst #1 starter in the NHLThis year he can't do anything. He is being beaten from all angles, all distances. His reflexes are shot, his recovery is poor(takes him forever to get up), his awareness and puck location nonexistent. The glove hand is gone. Yea he's getting no help offensively but you just can't dismiss the garbage goaltending we've been getting from him.As I type this the Devils are losing 3-0 to the mighty toronto maple leafs, and after getting shelled by the 1983 Islanders 5-1...Brodeur has let up 8 goals in his last 25 shots. He is vulnerable from EVERYWHERE. Literally every mistake ends up in our net, and that can't happen.Our next game will be a loss against the Rangers on Wed. The only question is will it be a 2-0 loss with Hedberg in net or a 8-0 loss with Brodeur(on 19 soft shots I'm sure) Edited December 27, 2010 by '7' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

03.20.13: The CCRI Lady Knights basketball team continued play in the NJCAA Division II Women's Basketball Tournament at Illinois Central College in East Peoria, IL on Wednesday evening. The No. 10 seed Lady Knights (25-5) were in the "Elite Eight" Quarterfinal vs. No 2 seed Lady Hurricanes of Louisburg College (29-3). CCRI lost to Louisburg 83-58. With the loss the Lady Knights can no longer win the National Title, but are still alive in the tournament and can finish as high as fifth place. The Lady Knights' record is now 25-6. The Lady Knights will face Highland Community College (28-6) from Highland, KS Thursday afternoon at 4:00pm EST (3:00pm CST).
Louisburg was the tournament's No. 2 seed and showed why they had earned that distinction quickly in the game. The Lady Knights came out flat and the Lady Hurricanes capitalized on that every opportunity they could. Louisburg jumped out to a quick lead which they were able to extend to 10 points early in the game. The Lady Hurricanes kept the pedal to the metal and the lead quickly grew to a 50-19 halftime lead for Louisburg. Louisburg shot an impressive 50% from the field while CCRI was only making 23% of their shots in the first half. The Lady Knights played the Lady Hurricanes closer in the second half but never really threatened the Lady Hurricanes as the No. 2 seed went on to win by the final score of 83-58.
Leading the way for the Lady Knights was Co-Captain Jahira Smith (Brooklyn, NY) who scored 15 points with seven rebounds, three steals, and two blocked shots. Smith now has a CCRI record 1,044 points for her career. The only other Lady Knight in double-figures was Ahnyyah Jackson (Hackensack, NJ) with 13 points, six rebounds, and five assists. Lexi Barros (New Bedford, MA) added nine points and six rebounds while Co-Captain Jess Randall (Warwick, RI)added seven points and a steal and Nyjah Porcher (New Britain, CT) added 10 rebounds. Louisburg's Olivia Gaines led all scorers with a game-high 20 points.
Head Coach Kate Lynch commented after the tough loss: "When a team shoots 50% and you shoot 28% from the floor for the game, you can't make mental errors and you can't come out flat; not at this level."
The No. 10 seed Lady Knights will face No. 6 seed Highland CC Thursday at 4:00pm EST (3:00pm CST). To watch the game follow this link to NJCAA TV:
If the Lady Knights win they will play in the 5th/6th place game Championship Saturday at 3:00pm EST (2:00pm CST).

Our laboratory studies the neural basis of decision-making; that is, how the brain can take uncertain information from a variety of sources and form categorical judgments that guide behavior. We are particularly interested in the role of experience in this process, including how we learn to optimize our decisions to achieve particular goals. We study these issues using three basic approaches:
1) Quantitative measures of behavior ("psychophysics") combined with non-invasive measures of physiological variables like pupil diameter in human subjects. These studies allow us to prototype new behavioral tasks; make use of well-established psychophysical techniques to identify interesting behaviors and make inferences about the underlying neural mechanisms; and identify non-invasive measures that we can relate to our neurophysiological studies.
2) Psychophysics and electrophysiology in non-human primates. These studies allow us to test directly ideas about the relationship between neural activity in a particular brain region or regions and behavior.
3) Computational modeling. We develop computational and mathematical models for several purposes, including defining optimal limits on behavior for a particular task, which can provide a useful benchmark for interpreting behavioral data; linking in a quantitative and rigorous manner behavioral and neural data; and determining the computations that might be necessary and/or sufficient for a particular behavior.
The goal of our work is to provide new insights into the neural mechanisms that govern complex, learned behaviors and ultimately translate these insights into new approaches to understand, diagnose, and treat disorders of learning and cognition.

A rogue state with nuclear weapons has repeatedly threatened war against the US and its regional allies via missile attack. North Korea even moved its missiles to the coast, and may be accelerating another nuclear-weapons test. What could send a signal of resolve in a crisis like this?
How about a budget cut to missile defense?
The Pentagon will request $9.16 billion for missile defense programs for the 2014 fiscal year that begins Oct. 1, about $550 million less than this year's $9.71 billion, according to internal budget figures obtained by Bloomberg News.
The missile defense proposal scheduled to be released April 10 is part of a $526.6 billion defense budget President Barack Obama will propose, according to government officials familiar with the budget plan who asked not to be named discussing it in advance. …
The administration's reduced request comes despite heightened concerns about North Korean threats to attack U.S. bases in South Korea, Japan and Guam.
Funny about that, huh? That sends a message, but not necessarily one of resolve. With the present Korean crisis being acute since at least January, the White House can't claim to have been surprised by it so badly that concerns over North Korea's missiles missed a budget cycle.
Bloomberg reminds readers that Congress can add more money to the effort, but don't bet on it. Last year, the Democrat-controlled Senate canceled an increase in funding for new interceptor sites because, er, the environment may have been harmed:
The request is subject to congressional scrutiny and could be increased in areas lawmakers decide to give greater emphasis, such as the ground-based system of missile interceptors based in Alaska and California to protect the U.S. Last year, House members added money to start construction of a site on the East Coast. The Senate removed the funds, asking the Pentagon to conduct an environmental impact study instead.
Nuclear missiles can be harmful for the environment, too. Small wonder that Pyongyang didn't take us very seriously. Fox News reports on a postponed missile test and the message that sent, while the White House insisted yesterday that they weren't bowing to North Korea. Maybe we were just bowing to the environment.
The Hill reported that the postponement was directly related to concerns over Pyongyang's reaction:
The Pentagon has decided to delay the test of an intercontinental ballistic missile originally planned for this week, amid rising tensions with North Korea, reports said.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel decided to postpone the test of the Minuteman 3 missile at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, over fears that the launch could worsen relations with Pyongyang, a senior defense official told the Associated Press, which first reported the delay.
It's probably not a bad idea to hold off on this, but let's not pretend a postponement is unrelated to North Korea. The issue of missile defense is very much related to North Korea, and budget cuts in the middle of this crisis make zero sense, politically, diplomatically, or militarily. Talk about bad timing.

Blu Moon Takes The Early Magic Marine Melges 24 European Championship 2013 Lead
19 August 2013
Medemblik, Netherlands - 18 August 2013 - The Magic Marine Melges 24 European Championship, organised by the Royal Yacht Club Hollandia in collaboration with the International Melges 24 Class Association, started today under the sign of the Blu Moon (today 9-2-1). In Medemblik, where, as predicted by the forecast, the wind was blowing from the west-northwest throughout the day at between 15 and 19 knots, the crew of the former Melges 24 World Champion Flavio Favini, with tactician Gabriele Benussi, was among the few to close the day without ever leaving the top ten and found itself leading the overall ranking with a one point margin over Italian Champions Giogi (4-1-8), who appeared competitive and fully in phase with the oscillations of the breeze.
Driven by Matteo Balestrero with Nicola Celon as tactician, Giogi leads Riccardo Simoneschi's Audi Ultra (4-1-15), winner of the first race, by seven points. Simonesch, the leader of the Audi Melges 24 European Sailing Series is third, level on points with Estonia's Lenny (6-9-5), favoured to win the Corinthian title thanks to the experience of helmsman Tonu Toniste, who has twice graced the Olympic podium of the 470 class in the early eighties.
Three points being Audi Ultra and Lenny sits Dutchman John Den Engelsman's Mr. Henri (8-4-11), trailed by three times Corinthian World Champion Peder Jahre, who is now sailing among professional sailors with his Storm Capital Sail Racing (7-17-2).
The Magic Marine Melges 24 European Championship will resume tomorrow morning with the first warning signal scheduled for 10.30 am. The hope is to complete another three races: the day promises to be characterised by weather conditions which, especially during the afternoon, should be perfect fought competitive racing. From Tuesday, the wind is expected to drop significantly and become shifty.
Before they return to the race course again, the crews will spend the evening at the Bar Brakeboer, which very famous among passionate sailors who are accustomed to attend Medemblik International Sailing Center. The opportunity to spend some time together will be the Melges 24 Rocks Party celebrating 20 amazing years, sponsored by Melges Europe to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the launch of the first Melges 24.
Live updates from the Magic Marine Melges 24 European Championship 2013 are available on Facebook and Twitter pages. Daily reports, results and pictures will be published on www.melges24.com and on the Event Website, while video contents will be published on the Melges 24 YouTube channel.

Big 12 Campus Correspondent
TCU senior center Latricia Lovings has 180 blocks since the start of the 2012-13 season, the most in the country during that time. That number is pretty impressive, but even more so for the fact that basketball was not her primary focus as a high school senior.
Lovings made her mark on the volleyball court at Paschal High School in Fort Worth, which is walking distance from the TCU campus. There, Lovings was named the District 3-5A Outstanding Blocker as a senior in the fall of 2009, a foreshadowing honor for a different sport if there ever was one.
"I was recruited by a couple of schools for volleyball, and some were top five in the nation at the time," Lovings said. "TCU looked at me as well."
Lovings lettered three years in basketball at Paschal before taking her senior year off. While she would not be suiting up for the purple and white Panthers, she would continue to boost her appeal to college coaches, especially TCU head coach Jeff Mittie, ironically, as a member of the AAU Fort Worth Frogs.
TCU's roster in the 2011-12 season featured six Horned Frogs from Fort Worth, including the then-sophomore Lovings. The familiarity was certainly there, she said.
While with the AAU Frogs, Lovings also played alongside two future college teammates from cities in opposite directions of TCU in Yukon, Okla., native Meagan Henson and Waco product Delisa Gross.
Henson, who practiced at home and saw her team at tournaments due to her long commute to North Texas, gave high praise to her longtime teammate.
"I don't think you would call it rusty, but you could tell she was a volleyball player," said Henson, in terms of Lovings only playing on the AAU team the year before she got to TCU. "After her skills started progressing, we knew she would be something special."
Lovings' skills progression in high school was one thing, but her maturity and general athleticism before and after her arrival to college is worth noting, TCU athletic trainer Valerie Tinklepaugh-Hairston said.
"When [Lovings] first got here, after not having played he senior year, I don't think she really knew what to expect," she said. "I remember her first workouts when she wasn't able to make it through the entire thing. Now, she is a leader and her team looks to her for advice."
The numbers do not lie, either. As a freshman in 2010-11, she played double-digit minutes in just 16 games, yet led the team with 21 blocks. The next season, she rejected 89 shots to rank No. 25 nationally.
As a junior this past year, Lovings swatted 109 shots that came her way to finish third in the country. This season, she set a new career high of 10 blocks in a Dec. 4 win over Stephen F. Austin and blocked seven more during a Jan. 19 victory over Texas, the Horned Frogs' first over the Longhorns in school history.
Lovings currently ranks fourth in the nation for blocks and has recorded such a stat in 58 consecutive games, only four away from tying the school record.
The physical side of being a Big 12 student-athlete is well documented. Lovings not only overcame tough odds to go from hardly any basketball to an elite Division I defender, but she also utilizes her criminal justice major to the fullest extent.
"I am an intern at the Tarrant Area Juvenile Probation office," Lovings said. "I work at the southwest campus on Hulen [Street] and we go to all the middle schools and high schools around TCU. I follow them and basically see what they do everyday and help kids who are on probation stay out of trouble.
"I have a huge heart for kids who are troubled and that's kind of what I want to do after I graduate. The internship is helping and it's fun to see what I can do after school."
Another interesting component to Lovings' brand off the court is the manner in which she goes about her business. Tinklepaugh-Hairston said that what makes Lovings' community service so special is that it is not for school or any other requirement.
"Over the summer, I fed the homeless in the morning, and then I went to the Tarrant Area Food Bank in the afternoon. On Wednesday nights, I went to BackPacks for Kids which helps public school kids on the public food program. We gave them backpacks of food for over the weekend since some didn't have any due to situations at home."
Lovings' life after TCU is still up in the air, as she has to take one more class in the fall before she can graduate in December.
"After that, I will make my decision to continue playing or apply for a job," she said.
Henson is the only senior besides Lovings to have been with the Horned Frogs since her freshman year, and she can essentially sum up the TCU center in two words."She's fabulous."

Gyorko, Venable homer in Padres' win over Arizona
SAN DIEGO (AP) — His wobbly early season start corrected, Edinson Volquez is pitching like he's supposed to for the San Diego Padres.
Backed by consecutive homers by rookie Jedd Gyorko and Will Venable, Volquez combined with three relievers on a four-hitter to lead the Padres to a 5-1 victory against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday.
Volquez won his third straight start and the Padres, who took two of three from the Diamondbacks, won for the eighth time in 11 games. The Diamondbacks have lost five of six.
Volquez's start carried more weight because the Padres put lefty Clayton Richard on the 15-day disabled list earlier Sunday with an intestinal virus. Richard was chased in the fourth inning of Saturday night's 8-1 loss and the Padres had to use four relievers.
"This start today set up what needed to happen, where he pitched deep into the game and the guys who were the freshest were able to pitch," manager Bud Black said. "It was a critical start. Volqy pitched very well on the heels of a tough start by Clayton."
Volquez (3-3) has rebounded from losing his first three starts and seeing his ERA balloon to 11.68. He's 3-0 with a 2.49 ERA in his last four starts.
Volquez said he's been working with pitching coach Darren Balsley.
"A lot of work, man, trying to pull everything together to throw strikes," Volquez said.
"Everything was working. I threw good pitches today, down in the zone and got a lot of ground balls, fly balls. My goal was to stay in the game as long as I can to give us a chance to win."
Volquez held Arizona to one run and four hits in 6 2-3 innings while striking out three and walking three. Joe Thatcher got one out and Luke Gregerson and Huston Street pitched an inning apiece.
Black said Volquez has been throwing more strikes early in counts and more strikes with his secondary pitches.
"The change, when thrown, he's been able to throw it behind in counts," Black said. "When they take it, called strike. Where I think early in the year maybe he was trying to be a little bit too fine, a little bit out of whack mechanically and the offspeed pitches were not consistently in the strike zone. So the last three starts have been much more strike-heavy with the secondary pitches. The fastball command is improved, also. You put it all together, three wins and a lot of zeroes."
Volquez had only one bad inning, when he allowed Didi Gregorius' home run deep into the right-field seats leading off the third. Gregorius hit his third homer. The Diamondbacks have homered in a season-high six straight games.
Volquez then gave up a double to Kennedy and, with two outs, walked the bases full. He got out of the jam by inducing Eric Chavez to ground out.
"We didn't have anything going at all," manager Kirk Gibson said. "We didn't make any adjustments to what he was doing. He was trying to start off with off-speed pitches and we were out in front. We didn't have a good approach. It should because we only had four hits."
Gyorko hit a two-run homer with two outs in the sixth and Venable followed with a solo shot off Ian Kennedy.
With Chase Headley aboard after getting hit by a pitch on his upper right arm, Gyorko sent a 3-2 pitch an estimated 426 feet into the upper deck in left field, his second. Venable then hit a drive into the first row of the home run porch in the right-field corner, his second.
That was it for Kennedy (1-3), who allowed five runs and five hits in 5 2-3 innings, struck out five and walked three. After winning at St. Louis on opening day, he is 0-3 with a 5.70 ERA in six starts.
"I just felt like I couldn't put anyone away," Kennedy said. "There were times when I had two strikes on guys and I didn't have that put-away pitch, whether it was my fastball or my changeup. In those situations where I could strike somebody out and I didn't do it, it's pretty frustrating."
Headley extended his hitting streak to 10 games with an RBI single in the first, the third straight Padres batter to reach against Kennedy opening the inning. Everth Cabrera hit a leadoff double and Chris Denorfia walked ahead of Headley's single up the middle. Yonder Alonso added a sacrifice fly.
NOTES: Kennedy is 7-2 lifetime against San Diego, with a 3.17 ERA. … Arizona has scored just six runs in Kennedy's last five starts. … Tennis great Rod Laver was at the game and dropped by both clubhouses before the game, visiting with managers Bud Black and Kirk Gibson. … The Padres activated RHP Tyson Ross. Black said Richard (0-4, 8.54) has lost 12 pounds since getting sick during a series at San Francisco two weekends ago, although he's started to gain it back. He's scheduled to see a specialist Monday. Ross will pitch out of the bullpen as the Padres go with a four-man rotation due to two off days coming up. … The Diamondbacks head to Los Angeles for a three-game series starting Monday, with RHP Trevor Cahill (1-3, 2.84) scheduled to start against LHP Chris Capuano (0-1, 9.64). … The Padres open a home series against Miami in a matchup of last-place teams. Former Padres LHP Wade LeBlanc (0-4, 6.23) is scheduled to start opposite Andrew Cashner (1-2, 4.24).

It is hoped that the nations affected move swiftly to contain the respective spills and attempt to minimize the damage to the environment.
A Japanese tanker spilled about 1.4 million gallons of crude oil in the eastern Indian Ocean following a collision with a cargo ship, the tanker's operator said Tuesday. Japan's Kyodo news service said the spill — which would be about 4,500 tons — may have been the largest ever involving a Japanese tanker.
In a separate oil spill, the Philippines said that a tanker had sunk in rough seas Friday off the coast of Guimaras Island, about 312 miles southeast of Manila. About 528,000 gallons of industrial fuel was leaking from the accident, officials said.
A central Philippine island province declared a "state of calamity" following what authorities called the country's worst spill.

Micron SAS SSDs, solid state for the enterprise grows up
Subject: General Tech | February 27, 2013 - 01:11 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: ssd, enterprise ssd, SAS, micron, micron p410m
Micron has announced a new SSD, the P410 SSD which will use a Serial Attached SCSI interface, perfect for dropping into existing enterprise servers. SATA is perfectly fine for SOHO users and enthusiasts but for large businesses with a need for extreme reliability, SAS has been the interface of choice. Adoption of SSDs has been slowed in large businesses in part because it would require changing the existing architecture to SATA in order to incorporate SSDs into their systems. With the new Micron drive that is no longer necessary, at 7mm it will support high density servers and with the 25nm MLC NAND it is expected to survive for five years of duty with 10 full drive fills every day. Read more at DigiTimes.
"Micron Technology has announced another addition to its growing lineup of solid state drives (SSDs) targeted at data center appliances and enterprise storage platforms. The new Micron P410m SSD is a high-endurance, high reliability 6Gb/s Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) drive built to provide the performance necessary for mission-critical tier one storage applications that require uninterrupted, 24/7 data access."
Here is some more Tech News from around the web:

- Stuxnet worm dates back to 2005, Symantec reveals @ The Inquirer
- First Debian/Ubuntu Bootable ARM64 Images Released @ Slashdot
It occurs to be that because of wear leveling that the larger a flash drive is the longer it will likely last. Anyone care to expand on that thought?
Allyn often does ... http://www.pcper.com/reviews/Editorial/Taking-Accurate-Look-SSD-Write-En...
These are 100, 200 and 400 gigabyte
These drives are slow and not all that good.
They do about 350 MB/s max, so unless you MUST need SAS, a SandForce SATA3 drive is the way to go over this.
Go with an OCZ Deneva 2R instead, they do 550.

The Rev. Carl Anderson Lain, 102, died Tuesday, June 25, 2013, at River Landing at Sandy Ridge.
The Rev. Carl Anderson Lain, 102, died Tuesday, June 25, 2013, at River Landing at Sandy Ridge.
A funeral for the Rev. Lain will be at 2 p.m. Saturday at First United Methodist Church of High Point by the Revs. Fran Moran, C.B. Barr and Ray Broadwell. Interment will follow in Floral Garden Memorial Park.
The family will receive friends from 6-8 p.m. Friday at Cumby Family Funeral Service, High Point.
Born May 8, 1911, in High Point, he was a son of the Rev. Charles Anderson Lain and Bertha Albertson Lane. On Aug. 3, 1929, he married the former Ruby Marie Ballard, who preceded him in death in 2005. He was associated with Hedgecock Lumber Co. from 1947 until 1965 and served as president and general manager of Hedgecock Lain Lumber Co. in Lexington until 1965.
In April 1954, the Rev. Lain was licensed as a minister by the United Methodist Church at Oak View United Methodist Church in High Point and was ordained as an elder at Lake Junaluska in June 1962.

Trend spotted: Safari style
Who doesn't want at least a little leopard in their decor? One of the style trends spotted on the runways this season was concrete jungle: Gold accessories, earthy colors and wild prints all sound perfect for a living room. Here are some tips for pulling the look together in your home.
Animal prints
Implementing animal prints into your interior design is a delicate process - too much zebra print, and you risk turning a room into a cheesy bachelor pad. Luckily, there are some rules of thumb when it comes to the wild patterns. If you want to go with a full-on animal print with high contrast and accurate colors, use it as an accent, such as on a few pillows or a bed skirt. Keep the rest of the room pretty basic with roman shades and minimal patterns. If you're opting for a more abstract and low contrast print, you can go a little crazier and use it less sparingly. Think wall-to-wall carpeting, tapestry or upholstery.
Color palette
When decorating with wild prints, it can be best to keep the palette as subdued as possible, with shades of beige, asparagus, brown and white. The prints themselves will vary by color. Designers sometimes experiment with breaking the patterns down and mixing in colors, so you might end up with something like a minimalist zebra patterned rug in off-white and muted red. This sort of piece would be a great addition to a primarily white or neutral room - accessible, while still incorporating a bit of the wilderness.
If you're pulling design directly from the runway, try to find as many brassy accessories as possible. Your abode might not need jewelry, but you can accessorize it with things like lamps, drapery hardware, furniture feet and picture frames. Throw a little gold finish in with a primarily neutral palette and watch the room light up.
The other material that's a must have in a room that utilizes wild prints is wood. Wood blinds, hardwood floors, wooden coffee table - your choices are endless. Adding natural materials in with animal prints is a sort of wink to your audience, and continues the urban safari theme. Don't be afraid to run with this idea by placing a large, leafy plant somewhere in the room.
