All this week, All Things Considered and Morning Edition has aired stories about the global journey a T-shirt makes from seed to finished product. Over the months NPR's Planet Money team spent reporting the series, they tackled questions about trade, work and clothes play in the global economy. There's a whole lot more about a simple T-shirt's journey from cotton to completion here.
All this week we've been hearing about the making of the Planet Money T-shirt, a global journey that's taken us from the United States to Indonesia, Bangladesh, Colombia and back to the States. The series raised big questions about the nature of the garment industry and the role the very clothes on our back play in the global economy. I'm joined now by Planet Money's Alex Blumberg to wrap up the project. And Alex, when you think about all these stories, is there one single biggest takeaway that you're left with?
ALEX BLUMBERG, BYLINE: Well, the biggest takeaway was that this story is way more complicated than I'd sort of realized and I think sometimes that it gets presented. So our T-shirts were manufactured in two different countries. The men's T-shirts were manufactured in Bangladesh. The women's T-shirts were manufactured in Colombia. And we talked to the CEO of the plant in Colombia that manufactured our women's shirts and he told us this about the garment industry.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Our industry follows poverty.
BLOCK: Our industry follows poverty.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Out industry is like on roller skates. First it was Latin America, then we moved to China. Now China's becoming more expensive, we moved to Bangladesh or moved to Vietnam. And it goes like this.
BLOCK: Alex, that imagine of the industry moving around on roller skates is a really powerful one.
BLUMBERG: Yeah, and it is absolutely true. The garment industry is heavily labor dependent, especially in this phase where they cut and sew the shirts together. And they're constantly looking for the lowest wage labor. And so you can look at that and say this is an industry that is exploiting people in desperate circumstances. And that is sometimes very true.
The other part of it though that we sort of discovered is that there is a reason people in Bangladesh, for example, want to work in a garment factory. We talked to several people who worked in the factory that made the men's shirt. And they described their lives before they came to the factory when they lived in the rural villages where they were born. And they were living very close to the edge. In fact, two of the sisters who made the shirt - the Planet Money shirt - described growing up and losing three sisters to it seems like hunger related illness.
They were eating dirt and the family wasn't able to send them to get proper medical care because they didn't have enough money. And for them, getting a job in the garment industry, even though it is very low wage, very monotonous, it was a small but very significant step up and it allowed them to send money back to their villages where their parents were.
BLOCK: You know, I think I speak for a lot of listeners who have voiced this feeling that they're never going to look at a T-shirt in quite the same way, having heard these stories. And there's one fact that I keep - my mind just keeps bouncing around on and it came in one of the stories from Robert Smith, the notion that one T-shirt contains six miles of yarn.
BLUMBERG: Yeah. I mean, that is amazing. And then, what - to me, the other thing that blew me away was just how complicated and how much thought and effort and precision goes into something that you sort of think of as like a commodity, a T-shirt. You know, just yarn itself, Jockey, the company that helped us make our T-shirt, they have - they spent years developing the yarn that goes into the Planet Money T-shirt.
You know, there's sort of a recipe for yarn and we asked them, hey, could you tell us this recipe and they said, no. They wouldn't share it with us.
BLOCK: That's their secret sauce, I think, (unintelligible)
BLUMBERG: Yeah, it's a closely, jealously guarded trade secret. They wouldn't give it to us.
BLOCK: Alex, I do have to ask you about some criticism that's been directed toward the series because when you announced it and you launched this Kickstarter campaign that would fund the creation of these T-shirts, there were people who said, look, this is an industry that doesn't treat its workers responsibly. There's a lot of exploitation. There's a lot of death.
If you commission these T-shirts, despite your best intentions, aren't you contributing to a really big problem? What do you say to that?
BLUMBERG: This is something that we wrestled with quite a bit. You know, obviously, if we're making a T-shirt and we find out that the factory where our T-shirt is made is employing, you know, underage workers or is using coercive tactics, we didn't find that. I mean, we investigated our factory and tried to find any instance of that. We didn't.
But still, the issue is there and, you know, it gets to this idea that we are all part of this global system unless you work very, very hard and only buy a very select brand of clothing, you're generally interacting with this global supply chain. And it's something that we all have to wrestle with, really. What is our responsibility to the people who make our shirts?
What are their lives like? And to the extent that we were able to shed light on that, I feel good about that.
BLOCK: That's Alex Blumberg with NPR's Planet Money team. And Alex, there is one more story in the T-shirt series coming up on Monday on ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. So kind of a coda?
BLUMBERG: Yeah, it's sort of the afterlife of a T-shirt. When we're done with them and, say, we take them to Goodwill, it turns out they go off to very unexpected places.
BLOCK: OK. Alex, thanks so much.
BLUMBERG: Thank you.
BLOCK: And we should say there is a lot more online, a multimedia...
BLUMBERG: Extravaganza, I think, is the word you're looking for.
BLOCK: Extravaganza, OK, where we can go behind the scenes and get a real look at some of these workers' lives. It's all at NPR.org/shirt. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Beth's Minty Fresh Outdoor Space
While I would give my left arm to have a private backyard, for now a plot of land where I can grow succulents will do just fine. If you recall, all I had before was a stoop--so I've definitely graduated (not to mention, there isn't a lot of upkeep).
Before envisioning anything, I called in the big guns (Barbara Jarvik who has created her own succulent paradise). She suggested I keep the pre-existing field of wild mint--and I'm glad I did. Now anytime we're making mojitos or mint juleps, all I have to do is wander outside and pick a fresh bundle. The concrete pavers were also present when I moved in but they were randomly placed throughout the area. On my dad's suggestion I made them flush with the ground, then picked up some moss to grow in between each square.
To add a dash of coziness, I've taken succulents and planted them in pots (or in the ground) around the perimeter. And yesterday, I got busy assembling my new picnic table (an easier task than I expected). Eventually, I'd love to stain and treat the new purchase or paint it a playful color. But for now, I'm just looking forward to a long summer of dining al fresco.

Mycoplasma pneumonia is an infection of the lungs by the bacteria Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M. pneumoniae).
See also:
Atypical pneumonia
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Mycoplasma pneumonia usually affects people younger than 40.
People at highest risk for mycoplasma pneumonia include those living or working in crowded areas such as schools and homeless shelters, although many people with it have no identifiable risk factor.
The symptoms are generally mild and appear over a period of 1 to 3 weeks. They may become more severe in some people.
Common symptoms include the following:
Chest pain
- Chills
Cough, usually dry and not bloody Excessive sweating Fever(may be high)
- Headache
- Sore throat
Less common symptoms include:
- Ear pain
Eye painor soreness Muscle achesand joint stiffness Neck lump
- Rapid breathing
Skin lesionsor rash
Signs and tests
Persons with suspected pneumonia should have a complete medical evaluation, including a thorough physical exam and a
Depending on the severity of illness, other tests may be done, including:
Complete blood count(CBC)
- Blood cultures
- Blood tests for signs of mycoplasma infection
Bronchoscopy CT scan of the chest Open lung biopsy(only done in very serious illnesses when the diagnosis cannot be made from other sources) Sputum cultureto check for mycoplasma bacteria
Antibiotics that work against Mycoplasma include macrolides, fluroquinolones, and tetracyclines. You can take these steps at home:
- Control your fever with aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen or naproxen), or acetaminophen. DO NOT give aspirin to children.
- Do not take cough medicines without first talking to your doctor. Cough medicines may make it harder for your body to cough up the extra sputum.
- Drink plenty of fluids to help loosen secretions and bring up phlegm.
- Get a lot of rest. Have someone else do household chores.
Expectations (prognosis)
Most people recover completely even without antibiotics, although antibiotics may speed recovery. In untreated adults, cough and weakness can persist for up to a month. The disease can be more serious in the elderly and those with a weakened immune system.
Ear infections Hemolytic anemia
- Severe pneumonia
- Skin rashes
Calling your health care provider
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you develop a fever, cough, or shortness of breath. While there are numerous causes for these symptoms, you will need to be checked for pneumonia.
Also, call if you have been diagnosed with this type of pneumonia and your symptoms become worse.
Azithromycin can reduce the risk of developing mycoplasma pneumonia in close contacts of patients with the disease. However, this is not often used, and avoiding people who have the infection may also help reduce yourrisk.
Infants, and persons in poor health, especially those with weakened immune systems due to HIV, organ transplants, or other conditions should avoid contact with people who have mycoplasma pneumonia.

2011 Glastonbury Festival Fashion Photos — Kate Moss
Kate Moss Pops In at Glastonbury, Pre-Wedding
>> Kate Moss's nuptials are just days away, but she didn't miss her annual sojourn to the Glastonbury Festival over the weekend; Alexa Chung and Lily Donaldson turned up for the muddy musical festival, too.
Moss reportedly temporarily lost her engagement ring at fiance Jamie Hince's performance and then was turned away from Pulp's surprise set, but the weekend wasn't all bad luck. Moss was snapped with Hamish Bowles on her arm — it seems like he may be getting a headstart on Vogue's coverage of Moss's wedding, which is said to include a Mario Testino-shot cover (for the September 2011 issue) and accompanying feature story.

Tangled in Trash: A Whale Shark Rescue
Marine debris is choking marine life. Every year tens of thousands of marine animals and seabirds are killed and injured from eating or getting tangled up in our rubbish. Trash in the ocean threatens the survival of some of our most iconic marine animals.
Divers on the Solmar V liveaboard were visiting an isolated dive site some 300 miles south west of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico when they discovered an injured whale shark.
When the divers saw the thick rope wrapped around the whale shark, cutting into her skin and threatening the pregnant female's life and that of her unborn pup's, Daniel and his team felt compelled to help the whale shark in an unbelievable rescue. The divers made two trips down to the whale shark to check its condition and remove the rope.
I asked Divemaster, Daniel Zapata, to say a few words about the whale shark rescue he led last year.
PA: What was the first thing you did when you saw the whale shark?
It broke all our hearts to see this poor and helpless animal cruising by, many of us thought it was too difficult and dangerous to help her but I felt compelled to help.
PA: How did it feel to free this whale shark?
We talked about it for some time between dives, when we saw the whale shark again I knew I had to help. It felt so good to cut this whale shark free, I found a thinner section of the rope and cut through it. I unwrapped the rope from each side of the whale shark and finally she was free.
PA: Have you ever rescued a marine animal before?
I have not rescued another marine animal before, but if I needed to do it again I wouldn't hesitate.
PA: What was the most upsetting part of this rescue?
While cutting the rope it was upsetting to feel how much the whale shark was suffering due to open wounds. It really did hurt my feelings but at the same time while cutting the rope I was connecting myself with the surface saying --please people out there have education and respect for the ocean.
PA: Daniel, you work in places on every divers bucket list with divers enjoying shark and manta experiences on your trips. How often do you encounter wildlife suffering from the impact of humans?
Sharks and mantas are inspiring! I wish I could say I never encounter wildlife suffering but the reality is different. Unfortunately it's happening to sharks, yellow fin tunas and more.
PA: What message do you share with your divers about ocean protection and the importance of taking action?
My message to my divers is very simple: may the beauty of our ocean and everything that lives in it touch your heart with a message of tenderness and inspire your life to protect it always. I am sure Dive Against Debris will encourage and reinforce the respect for our ocean and beautiful creatures living in it!
Thanks Daniel and the Solmar V Crew for sharing your inspiring story with us.

Can the Maker Movement Infiltrate Mainstream Classrooms?
At the White House Maker Faire recently, where President Obama invited "makers" of all ages to display their creations, the President investigated a robotic giraffe, a red weather balloon and shot a marshmallow cannon made by a student. With so much fanfare and media attention on the event, some educators are hopeful that the idea of tinkering as a way of learning might finally have made it back to the mainstream. But will the same philosophy of discovery and hands-on learning make it into classrooms?
"Most of the people that I know who got into science and technology benefited from a set of informal experiences before they had much formal training," said Dale Dougherty, editor of Make Magazine and founder of Maker Faire on KQED's Forum program. "And I mean, like building rockets in the backyard, tinkering, playing with things. And that created the interest and motivation to pursue science."
That spirit of play and discovery of knowledge is missing from much of formal education, Dougherty said. Students not only have no experience with making or the tools needed to build things, they're often at a tactile deficit. "Schools haven't changed, but the students have," Dougherty said. "They don't come with these experiences."
Dougherty often watches kids as they interact with hands-on experiments or materials at Maker Faire events. "It's almost aggressively manipulating and touching things because they're not used to it," he said, which is unfortunate because that kind of work is in high demand in doing engineering or mechanical jobs.

"Even at the university level we're choosing talent based on math scores, not on capabilities and demonstrated abilities," Dougherty said. He thinks engineering programs could learn something from art schools when it comes to the application process. No art school accepts a student without examining a portfolio of work that demonstrates the student can do the work required required of them and has the potential to grow. Dougherty helped lobby MIT to begin accepting "maker portfolios" along with other application materials to ensure the things kids make are considered alongside test scores, essays and recommendations.
Dougherty is hopeful that events like the White House Maker Faire will help catalyze a movement that accepts maker-style self-directed learning in schools. He sees a lot of interest in affluent communities, but a lot less involvement in low-income areas. Incorporating the maker movement into public schools would reach help reach all students, perhaps sparking a life long interest in kids that might not otherwise be exposed.
"The context of making is playful," Dougherty said. "At the high school level that's when it stops being fun." It's that playful spirit that gets kids engaged, not a set curriculum or even access to technology. Kids have to feel invested and passionate about something to care about it for the long term. "If we are really about STEM, how do we make it fun, how do we make it engaging, how do we keep it playful?" Dougherty asked.
Parents are even starting to recognize the motivating power that this movement has on kids. "I think kids are going to be the drivers of change in this," Dougherty said. "They're going to be the ones asking for this, and asking if their parents can support them in this." Dougherty knows many young people ready to go to high school who don't see their passions being supported there. A lot of high schools got rid of classes like shop and metal work that were the "maker spaces" of a previous era. Parents didn't see a use for those skills and they were gradually phased out.
Sponsored By
"The key idea here that I've promoted is I want people to see themselves as producers, not just consumers," Dougherty said. "I'd like to see it become a capability that we use in home life and at work and that we're proud of it, where we see ourselves as having these powers to do stuff."
Dougherty hopes that if students raise their voices, parents demonstrate support and passionate teachers are willing to champion the cause at individual school sites, maker spaces could become a fixture of school. They don't have to include the fanciest 3D printer, they just have to be spaces for exploration, hands-on learning and a playful attitude towards discovery.

Has anyone played TE?
Me and 5 friends spent all saturday playing it and it was a blast! Not a single moment of boredom for 10h+ as you are either constantly following what the other players are doing or pondering what your next step is going to be. It was just the second time playing for me and it went much better than the first time meaning i was not wiped out from the map before the end of the game. Still came last by victory points though.
I need to get much better at balancing production/research/expansion in an effective way. My favourite moment of the game was when i used an action card to jump through an enemy system to an unoccupied one where i took a planet with an ancient artifact(=victory point). This somehow ended the stalemate between blue and black players and all hell broke loose in that part of the galaxy.

After doing some research I am more conflicted about the causes of past and likelihood of future miscarriages.
I've read Lesley Regan's book, Miscarriage, which was recommended to me and haven't been comforted by it in the slightest. The most helpful information is contained in part 3, a section of FAQs. By the time I reached that section I was "over" the book. Part 2, "Understanding the Causes", does not live up to its title. I certainly don't understand the cause(s) of my miscarriages from reading this book. I don't know if I'm a sporadic or recurrent miscarrier or what if anything can be done to assist me. I don't know what kinds of tests might be offered to me or other tests that a regular OB with limited experience in reproductive endocrinology might not know to request. Furthermore, the book is out of date having been published in 1997.
Regan does not believe that low progesterone is the cause of miscarriage but rather a symptom. "The die is cast." (129) Ick. Low progesterone means that there's something wrong with the eggs that are released or the corpus luteum. Ok, so follow up with something helpful like . . . "so instead of progesterone therapy, it is recommended that . . ." For women with a history of recurrent miscarriage, luteal phase defect is a common cause. However, no follow-up information for non-IVF "patients" is presented.
And it's not like the "experts" agree. For instance, there's this article about preventing miscarriage. The title, Miscarriages can be Prevented, is a tad ludicrous. Maybe some can be prevented, though I'm not even sure. But for what it's worth, this site claims 5 main reasons for miscarriage.
|Anatomy abnormal
|Progesterone level low
|Chromosome abnormal
|Primary miscarrier (no live births)
|Secondary miscarrier (one or more live births)
|Immune mechanisms
This information strongly contrasts with Regan's book and with information posted at this infertility blog that I stumbled upon. This NY-based doctor has been in the infertility business for 15 years.
Regarding luteal phase defect, he states:
In general, most reproductive endocrinologists do not believe in the luteal phase defect [though Regan does] and do not test for it. In the old days, doctors would use progesterone clomid or FSH to treat the supposed defect, and today women are getting on those meds more quickly than before. And it takes time; months and months can go by while you're waiting to see if the progesterone is working. In most cases you don't have the time to waste.
I realize there are some of you who were diagnosed with luteal phase defect and were given progesterone with great success. I am very happy for you, but your success is the exception, not the rule.
So like Regan, he believes that weak progesterone signifies an ill-fated pregnancy. Very few women actually have LPD or do recurrent miscarriers have LPD/hormonal issues? So very few women will benefit from progesterone therapy? Though the chart above indicates that a substantial rate of miscarriage happens because of low progesterone. Chicken and egg??
From what I can tell, direct entry midwives (DEMs) turn to progesterone supplementation for women like me. In fact, a DEM I know suspects that I have a progesterone deficiency. Perhaps this is why I needed progesterone to stop my irregular periods that were caused by the Nuvaring falling out (unbenownst to me) this past March. Perhaps this is why I lost my summer pregnancy. Maybe this is why I spotted in my first post-miscarriage cycle around ovulation time. Maybe that's why I lost my fall pregnancy. Perhaps this is why I spotted again in the middle of this cycle – the first one following my recent miscarriage.
Ronnie Falco is a well-respected midwife who archives at Gentle Birth. Here is information she has gathered on potential causes of miscarriage and how to possibly prevent miscarriage. Scroll down to the information on progesterone, and you will find much disagreement on the relationship between progesterone and miscarriage.
I came across a forum at Ovusoft that contained an informative thread regarding progesterone. I also post from time to time at Misdiagnosed Miscarriage and recommend that site to anyone who is experiencing or has experienced a pregnancy loss. I plan to check out these links at a low progesterone site I found via Misdiagnosed Miscarriage.
And now, truthfully, I'm worn out from this post.

Living out of luggage is nothing new for Robert Krantz.
The nationally-acclaimed author and actor, whose illustrious career includes appearing in movies, television shows and writing screenplays for the likes of Sony, Fox and Columbia pictures, made his home in Warwick last weekend.
Krantz, whose real name is Haralambos Karountzos, came to Rhode Island from his home in Aliso Viejo, Calif., as part of a New England speaking tour that included a special stop to the Church of the Annunciation at 175 Oaklawn Avenue in Warwick.
"He needed a place close to the Greek Orthodox parish as well as the airport," said Dick Bartlett, a Warwick resident who helped arrange Krantz's stay. "The organizing committee thought he'd be best served at the Hampton Inn [and Suites] on Post Road."
Thus with Bartlett's help, local tour chairperson Marianne Phelan and her committee concurred that the Hampton Inn & Suites at 2100 Post Road in Warwick had everything that Krantz would need for a comfortable stay, including shuttle service to T.F. Green Airport.
Enter Jay Visnjic, the popular general manager at the 173-room hotel.
Phelan worked with Visnjic, through the efforts of Bartlett, and made the necessary arrangements for Krantz, who also had speaking engagements last weekend in Connecticut.
"He wasn't going to get in until the early morning hours," Phelan explained. "He had another speaking program in New York and had a five-hour drive after that. He wasn't going to get much sleep, as our program was at noon Saturday. We decided the Hampton Inn would be the perfect place for Robert's needs."
Krantz didn't arrive until 2:30 a.m. Saturday, but he was overwhelmed by what Bartlett called "great Hampton hospitality."
Lya Scholianos, a front desk associate at the Hampton Inn, greeted the obviously tired Krantz who later told Phelan, Bartlett and Visnjic he was "tremendously impressed with the Hampton's professionalism, cleanliness and exceptional hospitality."
After an extremely busy weekend, Krantz was preparing to leave on Monday morning when he met Visnjic, who invited the award-winning movie producer and writer to have breakfast.
"He was a very humble man," Visnjic said of Krantz. "You can see he's a great guy; a man who is focused on everyone around him instead of himself. I really enjoyed meeting and talking with him. We certainly hope he comes back to visit."
Krantz, who wrote, produced and acted in the award-winning movie "Do You Wanna Dance?" among many other screenplays, will indeed be back in Rhode Island. He's currently writing the script for a new movie that will be entitled "Christmas with the Karountzos's."
"He was so impressed with the hospitality at the hotel at the Church of the Annunciation that he wants to schedule a screening of that movie in Rhode Island," Bartlett said. "I'm sure that he'll make his home at the Hampton when that happens."

Seth Williams figures things out pretty fast.
Less than a year ago, the 14-year-old Rock Falls freshman picked up a Fender Stratocaster. Today he's able to pull off blistering riffs by the likes of British power metal band DragonForce and Metallica. And we're not talking mid-'90s alternative Metallica.
Think double-bass-laden, mind-numbingly fast mid-'80s Metallica.
Oh, and he figured out the whole cross country thing pretty quick, too. After joining the team a couple of weeks into the season, Williams was posting 21-minute times. Now he's finishing off 3-mile courses in the 17:20 range.
After Williams won the
Big Northern Conference junior-varsity race Oct. 13 at Centennial Park in 17:30, his coach Mark Truesdell knew he was ready for the big-time and presented him a varsity jersey last Friday.
"That was awesome,"
Williams said. "It was astounding for me."
"In the past, it's always been pretty straighforward who the top seven were going to be," Truesdell said. "This time, it was pretty stressful. We went with Seth because he just
continues to improve."
Last Saturday, Williams was the 41st runner to hit the chute at the Class 1A Rock Falls Regional Meet at Centennial Park.
He made another investment this past week: spikes.
"That'll help me shave off some time," Williams said.
About an hour before Williams won the BNC JV race, his mentor, Brandt Cole kicked to a title in the varsity race. The senior can relate to Williams' transformation this season.
"I used to suck," Cole said. "It's a learning experience. The more you do it, the more you learn and pick up on things."
Despite a phenomenal pedigree – his father, Jeff, was a three-time state qualifier at Prophetstown and his grandfather was an outstanding sprinter – Williams basically had to learn how to run.
Cole offered his expert opinion on what needed tweaking.
"Everything," Cole said.
"My form was horrible this year," Williams said. "I wasn't picking up my legs, I wasn't moving my arms and my breathing was horrible. Brandt helped me with that and several others helped out, too."
"The biggest thing was he just needed to relax," Cole said. "Kids get so uptight and nervous thinking, 'Oh my God, I've gotta run fast.' To be fast, you've just got to relax, calm down and enjoy it."
Williams was also boosted by Cole's impassioned pre-race speeches.
"Those were some of my best races," Williams said. "I'd never gotten speeches like that before."
All seven of the varsity Rockets might need to run the race of their season at Oregon Park West to qualify for state.
"If they all break out and run their best race, it's a real possibility to make state," Cole said. "Everyone has to step up, and I do, too. There's no room for error."
Truesdell figures there will be five teams duking it out for the last two spots on what he calls a "blue-collar" course.
"It's not a burner," he said. "If you go out too hard, you're going to get beat up, but if you go out too slow, it's game over. We've got a strategy in place. We know what we have to run. Everyone's going to have to come through."
Regardless of the outcome, Williams has his band, Paradox, to fall back on. His bandmates just need to find some gear and a practice space.
Williams doesn't hesitate when asked why he picked up the guitar.
"It's just to impress girls," Williams said.
The kid's a quick learn.

01.26.13: The CCRI indoor track team pulled double duty on Saturday as some members went to Boston University to compete in the BU Terrier Invitational and some went to Wesleyan to compete in their fourth seasonal meet.
At the Boston University Terrier Invitational in Boston Steven Vazquez (Central Falls, RI) won the High Jump with a tremendous CCRI record leap of 2.05 meters (or 6 feet 8.75 inches). This broke his previous CCRI record of 2.03m (or 6'8"), at the Roxbury Meet. This was a big win for Vasquez at a highly-competitive Invitational that featured many Division I, II, and III NCAA teams from all over the Northeast and beyond. There were also a large number of elite competitors go to this meet. Bobby Allen (Cranston, RI) placed 15th in the mile run with and incredible CCRI record time of 4:06.62 securing his number 1 ranking in the NJCAA performance list in that Mile run. Allen won his heat wire-to-wire and one might wonder how well he would have done if he were in the first finals heat which was run at a blistering pace. In the first heat 10,000 meter Olympic Silver Medalist Galen Rupp (USA) ran a 3:50.59, the firth fastest Mile ever. Also making the trip to bean town was Daniel Duquette (North Attleboro, MA) who reset his own CCRI record in the 800m going below the 2:00 mark placing 82nd with an excellent time of 1:59.85 only .19 seconds off the NJCAA national championship qualifying time of 1:59.66. All in all these were great performances by all three CCRI Athletes at this elite-level indoor track meet.
While those three men were doing their thing up in Boston the rest of the team was competing at the Wesleyan No. 4 Invite in Middletown, CT. Leading the way for the Knights at Wesleyan was David Palkovic (Middletown, RI) who placed 2nd in the 5,000m with a career-best time of 16 minutes 54.42 seconds. Jordan Barbosa (Warwick, RI) placed 4th in the High Jump with a 1.77m leap. Barbosa came back to place 4th in the 200m as well with a time of 24.33 and also 4th in the 60mh with a time of 9.43 in the finals while running a 9.15 second time in the prelims. Thrower Colin Cabral (Cumberland, RI) placed 7th in the shot put with an 11.77m heave and Kevin Redmond (South Kingstown, RI) placed 8 with an 11.55m effort. Ryan Rotondo (Cranston, RI) finished 4th in the 60m dash in a time of 7.39 seconds. Joseph Gareri (Uxbridge, MA) placed 12th in the 800m with a season-best time of 2:37.07. Carlos Diaz (Smithfield, RI) placed 8th in the 200m with a time of 24.55 and then placed 16th in the 60m dash in a time of 7.65.
For the Lady Knights Cassandra Gustafson (Pawtucket, RI) placed 9th in the Shot Put with a 7.82m toss. Olivia Emerick (Cranston, RI) placed 7th in the 800m with a season-best time of 2:45.61and also placed 8th in the 200m dash with a time of 30.50. Rounding out the CCRI athletes at Wesleyan was Meagan Shanley (Warwick, RI) who placed 7th in the 600m with a time of 2:42.76.
The next meet for the Knights will be this Saturday January 2nd when they will travel to Kingston, RI to compete in the URI Coaches Tribute Meet beginning at 11am.
The Community College of Rhode Island, New England's largest comprehensive community college, enrolls nearly 18,000 students in credit courses and thousands more in non-credit and job training classes. Its athletic program boasts 12 varsity programs and an academic support program for all student-athletes.

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) — Leap Wireless International Inc.'s report Monday evening showing a wider-than-expected quarterly loss was followed by a slide in late-traded shares of the prepaid wireless carrier, and shares of Pfizer Inc. were under pressure following a clinical-trial update.
Stock in Leap Wireless LEAP fell 10% at $4.96 after the company, which runs Cricket Wireless, said it lost $41.6 million, or 54 cents a share, on revenue of $786.8 million for the second quarter. The result was below the FactSet consensus estimate of a per-share loss of 50 cents on $836.8 million in revenue.
Leap's Chief Executive Doug Hutcheson said in a statement that the company's customer results "were softer than anticipated." Leap reported a net loss of 289,000 customers to end the quarter with 5.9 million customers.
A year ago, Leap lost $58.4 million or 85 cents a share on $760.5 million in sales.
Stock in Caribou Coffee CBOU fell 4.6% at $10.45, with the coffee retailer cutting its sales outlook for the second time since late February. Caribou cited fewer sales of its coffee sold on Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc.'s GMCR K-Cup platform as reason for the outlook.
Caribou now expects no sales growth in 2012. Earlier this year, the company had expected growth of 10%. Shares of Green Mountain were down 0.8% at $21.30 in light volume after hours.
Shares of Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson each pulled back after the companies said they are halting development of an intravenous treatment for patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease, after a second clinical trial failed. Pfizer and J&J unit Janssen had partnered on developing the compound bapineuzumab. Pfizer PFE, -0.61% shares fell 3.1% at $23.50, and J&J JNJ, -1.45% lost 1% at $68.17.
J&J said it would take a related charge of $300 million to $400 million in the third quarter. Stock in Elan Corp. ELN, -12.50% also dropped, by 9.6% to $10.17. Elan has a 49.9% stake in Janssen Alzheimer Immunotherapy and expects to take a related charge of $117.3 million in the third quarter.
In late July, Pfizer and J&J said bapineuzumab failed to improve patient symptoms in a late-stage clinical trial, but that they would continue three other studies of the drug.
Ahead of the late session, U.S. stocks rose on better-than-anticipated corporate earnings and easing concern about Europe's debt troubles. However, stocks ended off intraday highs. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -1.22% closed up 21 points, or 0.2%, to 13,117.51. The S&P 500 Index SPX, -1.42% gained 0.2% to 1,394.23 and the Nasdaq COMP, -1.91% climbed 0.7% to 2,989.91.

Locking, Little's Law, and the USL
september 2017 by jm
Excellent explanatory mailing list post by Martin Thompson to the mechanical-sympathy group, discussing Little's Law vs the USL:usl scaling scalability performance locking locks java jvm amdahls-law littles-law system-dynamics modelling systems caching threads schedulers contention
Little's law can be used to describe a system in steady state from a queuing perspective, i.e. arrival and leaving rates are balanced. In this case it is a crude way of modelling a system with a contention percentage of 100% under Amdahl's law, in that throughput is one over latency.
However this is an inaccurate way to model a system with locks. Amdahl's law does not account for coherence costs. For example, if you wrote a microbenchmark with a single thread to measure the lock cost then it is much lower than in a multi-threaded environment where cache coherence, other OS costs such as scheduling, and lock implementations need to be considered.
Universal Scalability Law (USL) accounts for both the contention and the coherence costs.
When modelling locks it is necessary to consider how contention and coherence costs vary given how they can be implemented. Consider in Java how we have biased locking, thin locks, fat locks, inflation, and revoking biases which can cause safe points that bring all threads in the JVM to a stop with a significant coherence component.

In contrast to the requirement of 225.19(D)(1) and 230.9, they don't maintain a clearance of 3 ft or more from this window, which is designed to be opened. The same clearance rules apply to feeders and branch circuits that run to or from the buildings they supply, or from which they are fed. Although the conductors may be attached to the building, they must also be installed at not less than 3 ft from a window designed to be opened. These same rules apply to doors, porches, balconies, ladders, stairs, fire escapes, or similar locations. An Exception to 225.19(D)(1) allows you to install conductors within 3 ft of the top level of a window. However, this isn't the case in this photo.
A Little Tug Reveals a Big Surprise
The electrical inspector wasn't too sure about this installation, so he gave the grounding conductor a little tug and found that the feeder equipment grounding conductor in this rigid nonmetallic conduit wasn't terminated on the other end. To his surprise, he discovered the same situation at the other end of the conduit. Someone had just stuffed a few feet of cable into the conduit to make it look like it was a proper installation. Per 300.13(A), conductors installed in raceways must be continuous between outlets, boxes, and devices.
It's Not the Pigeon You Should Fear
This installation is located near a bus station in Boston. The first argument I always hear is "This city doesn't have to comply with the NEC." That may be true in Boston and certain other cities across the country, but that doesn't change the fact that unsafe installations like this one create the potential for dangerous consequences — especially since a lightning storm was pending that day.
These open wires are within easy reach of any person who walks by this area or uses the concrete foundation as a streetside seat. These two innocent young people could have easily been subjected to an electrical shock.
Installation Puts Me on Edge
Nonmetallic-sheathed cables (Type NM-B) must be secured at intervals not exceeding 4 ft 6 in. and within 12 in. of every cabinet, box, or fitting with staples, cable ties, straps, hangers, or similar fittings designed and installed so as not to damage the cable. Flat cables can't be stapled on edge (334.30). In addition, it appears this installation violates the requirements of 300.4(D). When cables and raceways are installed parallel to framing members, in both exposed and concealed locations like joists, rafters, or studs, the cable or raceway must be installed and supported so that the nearest outside surface of the cable or raceway is at least 1.25 in. from the nearest edge of the framing member where nails or screws are likely to penetrate. Where this distance can't be maintained, the cable or raceway must be protected from nail and screw penetration by a steel plate, sleeve, or equivalent at least 0.0625 in. thick.

As Rumored, Apple Gives Record Labels Variable iTunes Pricing In Exchange For Ditching DRM
from the it's-something dept
As for the pricing, there's now three tiers: $0.69, $0.99 and $1.29. Hit new songs will go for the higher price while older, less popular songs will have their prices drop. The announcement isn't that surprising, but it is definitely a shift. What will be worth watching is how this impacts sales. It really may depend on how the record industry plays this. If (as seems likely) they put too many songs in that high priced level, it's going to lead to backlash. However, if they really embrace that lower price, it could encourage more folks to download music. I also wonder if it will push competing music download stores, such as Amazon.com to lower its prices even further as well.
While this definitely is a shift from the way iTunes has always worked, in the end, it's really not a huge shift. The industry was moving in this direction anyway, and killing off DRM was long overdue. The variable pricing is the type of thing that the big record labels will likely screw up, but in the long run is probably a good thing. The $0.99 per song fee has always been too high, and accepting variable pricing will eventually lead to those prices decreasing (not increasing, as the industry expects).

Balestrero Surges to Overtake Melges 32 Lead After Five Races in Scarlino
6 May 2017
Scarlino, Italy (May 6, 2017) - Wind made all the difference today at the 2017 Melges 32 World League event in Scarlino, Italy as overnight leader Pavel Kuznetsov on Tavatuy officially met his match in fellow competitor Matteo Balestrero on Giogi. Two additional races and breeze in the range of 25 knots helped Balestrero find a much desired comfort zone, awarding him an impressive 2-1 scoreline for the day, ultimately putting him in the overall lead with a nice eight point advantage.
After submitting a 7-12 result, Kuznetsov slides back into second place, with Fritz Homann on Wilma holding steadfast in third.
Andrea Ferrari aboard Spirit of Nerina improved with a 4-2 daily result to move up into fourth, while Edoardo Lupi/Massimo Pessina on Torpyone are firm in fifth.
It was a banner day for sixth place finisher Giangiacomo Serena di Lapigio on G-SPOT as he won the first race of the day.
The Corinthian division is strong and leading the charge is Portovenere Champion Kilian Holzapfel on Homanit Junior. Francesco Graziani on Vitamina is in hot pursuit only two points back in second. Martin Reintjes's Caipirinha is currently third.
Additional races are to follow on Sunday, the final day of scheduled competition in Scarlino.
The Melges World League, European Division counts on the valuable support of: Helly Hansen as the official clothing sponsor with its Melges World League Race Loft dedicated to both sailors and all fans of the sport of sailing. Garmin Marine is the official timekeeper, and Lavazza keeps the Melges World League fully fueled with the Italian taste of its signature coffee. Toremar shares Melges' DNA in which binds it to the sea. All official photo and video images are from the creative and driven talents of Barracuda Communication.

Friday win over state's No. 2-ranked team highlights weekend for No. 3 Bulldogs.
Prior to this year the Rolla High School boys' soccer team had never come away from the Parkway Tournament with more than one win in any one season.
Over the weekend, the Bulldogs did not lose in the tourney.
Rolla swept through the field to gain its first ever championship of the Parkway Tournament.
The big matchup this weekend was the first one, as Rolla took on host Parkway West Friday night in a matchup of two of the top three ranked teams in the Missouri Class 2 state poll. And in that showdown No. 3 Rolla knocked off No. 2 Parkway West.
Senior midfielder Austin Parks scored off a corner kick served by senior midfielder Logan Houf 25 minutes into the game to give RHS a 1-0 halftime lead.
Nine minutes into the second half senior forward Aaron Froehlich scored a header served from Houf on a restart. RHS went up 3-0 when Parks took a pass from senior forward Hunter Short, dribbled in on the right and drilled a shot over the West keeper.
West got its lone goal off a corner kick with 15 minutes remaining.
Rolla opened Saturday's action by shutting out Parkway North 4-0. Froehlich scored three goals and H. Short added another.
Senior defender Nate Kramme, junior defender Theron Weeks, Houf and Parks had assists. Senior Gage Scurlock recorded the shutout.
The Bulldogs wrapped up the title by beating Parkway South 5-2. RHS jumped out to a 2-0 halftime lead but the Patriots tied it up with just 15 minutes left. RHS then reeled off three unanswered goals to win.
Froehlich recorded three goals while Parks and sophomore forward Thomas MacCash each had one. Houf had two assists and Kramme one.
The Bulldogs are now 8-1 overall.
"Friday night we played great team defense, we were very organized and we finished our chances," said RHS head coach Mike Howard. "To go on the road and win against such a strong opponent is a huge accomplishment. I don't know that we have played a better game this season.
"We got tired and fitness became a huge issue in the South game; it would have been easy to roll over when it went to 2-2 late. To score three goals in 15 minutes against a strong team when tired tells the story of our character right now. I'm very proud of our effort."
The Bulldogs are scheduled to play again on Tuesday at West Plains in Ozark Conference play, starting at 5 p.m.

I think at least one of the fights will be Yami master vs Yami master, just as Berserker vs Hermit was the internal fight from Ragnarok arc. We've already seen Diego's disciples emphasize their independence twice, once when they challenged Sho Kano and again when they flipped off Gaidar's troops. Sooner or later , they'll face repurcussions, and I'm hoping Diego will end up fighting for them against Yami.
Does anyone else think the manga has focused much more on school setting since Kenichi's draw with Sho? For mine, I'm glad to see that teenage life feel restored to the manga. The differing personalities of Miu, Kenichi, Boris, Rachel and Chikage can come across much more naturally in a school environment rather than in fights. And the instructors, school clubs and classes add additional flavour to the story.
The reformation of Boris was the best handled yet, because :
1) It wasn't over the top turning him into a Shinpaku groupie or disciple of justice.
2) Rather than Kenichi turning him, it was more his natural affection towards his sensei .
3) While Boris hasn't turned completely, it's heavily implied that he's on a better path now if he can escape his master's influence.

Whereas boris struggled to reconcile school life with his fidelity to Alexander, and Chikage can't fit in with normal students. Yet those two are the most likely converts to Kenichi-ism.

lol, Kenichi-ism!
I'm glad the focus is on school life a little more too, though hopefully it'll become more cohesive- I miss the antics of the older members of the Alliance, like Siegfried, Takeda, and Kisara, who all had a fair amount of focus during the Desperate Fight of Disciples.

Well now that all the masters from Ryouzanpakou finished showing off... it is only natural for the attention to go back to the diciples. But my guess is that we will have couple chapters of Miu and then at some somepoint Kenichi will have to go through those hellish training so he can fight the rest of the Yomi.

1. Boris: Sei, Lawful Neutral, Satsujinken
Generally speaking, I'm assuming (and this is a purely an assumption) that Yami is an evil organization. Boris is not interested in questions of morality, but only is interested in following orders. However, Sensei Ono represents his first "crisis of morality" and "desire to see close to him not hurt". He hasn't answered either yet, but generally people don't remain subconciously uncaring of good or evil - rather, they make a steadfast commitment to not care.
2. Chikage: Sei, Lawful Neutral/Evil, Satsujinken
I'm assuming these are some of the first and few times she has been outside a "controlled" (in the common thinking sense, and in the scientific sense) environment. Assuming she is a 12-year-old girl, she would probably have a liking towards sweets. Being deprived of them has not made her thirst for them less - this actually seems to amplify the problem. The minute she takes one sweet, she is going to take ALL sweets as much as she can at that moment, losing control.
I want add something unrelated. Ryuuto's condescending answer on Kenichi to Kajima maybe his true feelings, but true feelings that are hiding some other feelings. In other words, he is dodging the question. He's probably not lying to Kajima, but simply being dishonest.

Doug Spearman On Hot (Gay) Guys with Guns
Making it in Hollywood can be murder may be the tag line for openly gay actor turned director/producer Doug Spearman's ("Noah's Arc" TV series and films) upcoming movie Hot Guys with Guns, the first gay action-comedy film produced by his production company The Ogden Group, but it may very well be the tag line for a gay black man trying to make it in Hollywood.
Somehow, Spearman has been able to make it. With movies (particularly detective stories) and musicals driving his ambition early in his childhood, Doug has enjoyed a consistent and long career in the entertainment world as a television creative director, writer, twice-Emmy nominated producer and commercial director. He has launched several networks including UPN, SoapNet and LOGO, in addition to producing and directing for the established ABC, CBS, NBC, BET and E! Entertainment Television.
As an actress, BeBe was introduced to film with a lead role in the independent film "Under One Sun" with her character dealing with religious, racial and gender issues. Additionally, she appeared in the campy musical "Devious, Inc" (Australian Film Festival, San Francisco Short Film Fest) also adding additional vocals to the musical soundtrack. Both of these performances led to her selection for a lead role in Aisha Media's next short film series, "Con-tin.u.um" to be released in 2012.
