-- New Episodes Dive Deeper into the Lives of the Guys (and Gals) Who Kiss Gators on Sunday, January 5th --
(New York, NY) - GATOR BOYS forerunners - Paul Bedard and Jimmy Riffle - are saddled up and ready to ring in the New Year with a batch of 10 all-new adventurous episodes. The successful Animal Planet series follows the men and women of Gator Boys Alligator Rescue as they risk life and limb to capture wild alligators using their bare hands, and swim with them unprotected in the Florida waters. As the GATOR BOYS grow in popularity, Jimmy finds his time strained by alligator wrestling road shows, appearances, and now a recently purchased barbeque restaurant. When GATOR BOYS returns on Sunday, January 5, at 9pm ET/PT, the gators may be the only ones smiling until balance is restored to a team that's spread too thin. Leading up to the premiere, there will be a "Top 10 Best Catches" (working title) special airing at 8pm ET/PT, highlighting the biggest, riskiest and most unusual catches of GATOR BOYS history.
There's no question it takes serious guts and determination to do what the GATOR BOYS do. Paul is known for his commanding personality and unmatched skill capturing any-sized gator underwater. And Jimmy has been gator wrestling since the age of 11, giving him the ability to stay quick on his (bare) feet and handle dangerous reptiles with ease. Past seasons of GATOR BOYS have proven that Paul and Jimmy rarely see eye-to-eye on anything other than saving alligators and are constantly at odds. Nothing's changed. In fact, matters are complicated when Jimmy decides to jump headfirst into the restaurant business, not realizing the enormity of the task at hand or that Paul will be left picking up his slack. Together, they must come up with a way to keep Gator Boys Alligator Rescue running smoothly, and still find the time to pursue their other interests.
The entire GATOR BOYS team will see plenty of action in this batch of new episodes, including both familiar and unfamiliar faces. Viewers can look forward to some of the following new developments:
· It's wheels up for the GATOR BOYS when Paul takes the team on a mission south of the border. They've been enlisted to help launch a no-kill crocodile rescue at an aquarium in Mazatlan, Mexico. Upon their arrival, they learn of a legendary croc named "El Diablo," that has been wreaking havoc on villagers for decades. Paul vows not to leave Mexico before capturing this giant and delivering him to the aquarium, saving his skin and the lives of locals.
· After almost a year away working on crocodile research projects in Costa Rica and Peru, Ashley's boyfriend Chris returns to Gator Boys Alligator Rescue. Has absence made the heart grow fonder, or will the lovebirds realize too much time has passed for things to go back to romance as usual?
· Also, Ashley is torn between two loves when she's offered a full-time job-training tigers. Will she return to her first passion, big cats, or stay with the GATOR BOYS and commit to a future working with reptiles?
· Tre and Scott get lost in the endless everglades on a dead airboat. They have no gas and not a clue which way to turn and nightfall is drawing closer. Afraid of never living the story down, will they refuse to send an S.O.S. to Paul or Jimmy?
· Gator Boys Alligator Rescue finds a new volunteer - 12-year-old Eric - who is eager to get his feet wet. A novice addition to the team means there's always someone to look after and ultimately slow things down. Luckily, an unexpected ally takes Eric under his wing, and a new generation of GATOR BOYS is born.

Brunch at Napa Valley Grille in Westwood (Los Angeles, CA)
Ah, Westwood. This neighborhood sure has changed since my college days as a Bruin, but Napa Valley Grille is still there and going strong as one of the only higher end restaurants in the neighborhood. They just renovated their restaurant, as well, and it's looking sleek.
I went back a couple of months ago to try out their then-new brunch menu.
For daily breakfast, I typically have a pastry or a coffee cake like this with coffee. The coffee cake was deliciously buttery and I enjoyed the crumbles on top.
Brunch, however, calls for eggs, like this Cast iron frittata with California wild mushrooms, smoked sardo, caramelized pearl onions ($14)

Subway construction workers in Thessaloniki, Greece, have uncovered a golden olive branch that dates back approximately 2,300 years. Located at what will someday be the Republic Station stop, the wreath was found inside a large, box-like Macedonian tomb — and it was still on the head of a buried female body. The beautifully preserved wreath dates back to the Early Hellenistic Period, at the end of the Fourth to early Third Century B.C.E.
Thessaloniki is the second largest city in Greece and was founded back in 315 B.C.E by King Cassander of Macedon and named after his wife Thessalonike — the half-sister of Alexander the Great.
The discovery was confirmed by K.B. Misailidou, Director of 16th Ephorate of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities. And amazingly, it's now the ninth wreath to be uncovered during these subway excavations (which started back in 2008).

Blues Could Look for First Round Pickby Staff Writer / St. Louis Blues
TORONTO -- The St. Louis Blues won't make their first pick at the 2013 NHL Draft until the middle of the second round.
At least, that's the plan right now.
"We don't have a first round pick yet," Blues General Manager Doug Armstrong told NHL.com. "But the draft's not tomorrow either."
The Blues traded this year's first-round pick to the Calgary Flames as part of the Jay Bouwmeester deal, but Armstrong said getting back into the top round this year remains a possibility.
"We know we're not going to get into that top five or six, but anything after that is always a potential on draft day," he said. "There's a lot of emphasis put on, don't worry about what we don't have, we could acquire something, and make sure we're prepared for it."
Armstrong said he sees the potential for this year's draft, scheduled for June 30 at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., to be an active one on the trade front, and though he certainly would like to move up into the first round, he said it's not imperative. The depth of the draft makes him confident the Blues will find a quality player wherever they end up picking.
"We're not going to rob Peter to pay Paul," he said. "It would be nice to have that [first-round] pick, but we don't want to deplete an area of strength on our current roster to do that. It would have to be the right short- and long-term for us.
"It's a deep draft from what our scouting staff is telling us. … There's going to be players climbing out of the second, third and fourth rounds that are going to play and be good players. Our job is to find one of them."

Sushi-like rolls
Can you imagine, there was the time I didn't want to eat sushi, because of the raw fish?! Well, that's true, shame on me. Lots of shame. On me. Agreed...
Knowing that, I decided to make a recipe for sushi-like rolls, that look and taste close to sushi, but... are not raw! Nothing in this recipe is raw, and that also means that you can keep them safe longer at the room temperature, place in your bento, take for a picnic or just offer them as a healthy snack for people didn't discover yet the ingenuity of Japanese cuisine! ;-)
Orange cheese-tart
I didn't plan to make this cake at all, what I did plan was apple tart with apricot jelly... Well, sometimes I just change my mind, especially while experimenting in the kitchen :-) The result is interesting, refreshing and citrusy! :-) If you don't like the strong orange aroma, you can replace them with any soft and sweet fruit: peaches, pears, and apricots should do fine!
Tuna and egg bento
The bare tuna-paste bento was a great success, but with the arrival of my new bento container, I was left with some extra unused space. I decided to fill the space with easy to make and very tasty iri tamago, which is basically a Japanese kind of scrambled eggs! You can definitely use iri tamago in onigiri, or as a small side dish.
Simple chicken teriyaki bento
This recipe is very easy and fast to cook, because it requires ready-made teriyaki sauce. Still, it's a really tasty alternative to sausages and pork, and chicken made in teriyaki style is juicy, tender and full of aroma! It also takes just few minutes, because the meat is first fried quickly, and then glazed with sauce. Fast food like a boss ;-)
Fancy tamagoyaki bento
Oh my, this one is both a looker and tastes amazingly! :-) This bento idea is based on the basic tamagoyaki recipe, so feel free to use your favorite ingredients: champignons or chanterelle mushroom, herbs, different kinds of onion, bacon bits, ham shavings etc. Go crazy! :-) It's also a very good side dish!

You might have devices that you want to assign to specific zones. Allowing unprivileged users to access block devices could permit those devices to be used to cause system panic, bus resets, or other adverse effects. Before making such assignments, consider the following issues:
Before assigning a SCSI tape device to a specific zone, consult the sgen(7D) man page.
Placing a physical device into more than one zone can create a covert channel between zones. Global zone applications that use such a device risk the possibility of compromised data or data corruption by a non-global zone.

Teen charged in robbery, assault of Grandview veteran
Investigators say they're receiving several tips
A teenager was charged Friday in connection with the robbery and assault of an 85-year-old veteran in his Grandview home.
Grandview police said a 14-year-old was charged in Jackson County Family Court with second-degree robbery, burglary and two counts of armed criminal action.
Investigators said the men forced their way into a home in the 11900 block of Belmont Avenue early Sunday evening. The man living there, an 85-year-old disabled Air Force veteran, was struck in the head during the robbery. The men took two handguns and a rifle from the house.
The 14-year-old was charged in connection with that incident.
Police said another group of men forced their way into the same home at gunpoint late Tuesday afternoon. They stole more guns, ammunition and other personal property from the man.
Investigators said there have been several tips called in naming a number of suspects involved in one or both robberies.
Anyone with information about the robberies is asked to contact Crime Stoppers TIPS Hotline at 816-474-8477.

Yeah I know I'm a lazy blogger I've got a bunch of stuff to post from the summer…. hopefully some of these pictures will warm you up though! Lisa and Len are an awesome couple so much fun! We had a blast one sunny afternoon and had a great engagement session they we so much […]
Welcome to my blog!
Hello All,
I have been taking photos since I was 16, I like most photographers my age first started printing black and whites in a darkroom before Photoshop I think that's the part I enjoyed the most and would spend hours in the dark room. About 7 years ago I started specializing in weddings; the most challenging aspect of professional photography.
I am a member of the Professional Photographers of Canada - PPOC and I am nationally accredited in Wedding Story I'm also a member of Wedding & Portrait Photographers International. I have studied with and collaborated with incredible local and international photographers. I love weddings and wedding photography so much that I have dedicated myself to educating other photographers and continuing my learning process as a wedding photography instructor at Sheridan College in Oakville Ontario.
I spent several years as a professional wedding and portrait photographer, my approach to wedding photography is quite simple - emotion beats perfection every time. I believe that the moments before the moments are sublime and the anticipation excitement and build up before a release of emotion are what makes portraits beautiful.
I've recently taken a long term sabbatical from shooting weddings professionally, to return to my photographic roots, shooting film and the environment around me. As a photographer I'm a wanderer, explorer and an observer and I've chosen to take a break from the larger than life world of weddings and focus on the beauty of our wonderful world, the people in it and of course the amazing flora and fauna we all are blessed with.
I want to use this blog as a diary of my photographic adventures to showcase my passion for photography both analogue (film) and digital. I plan on using this blog to generate discussion around my work, film based photography, vintage camera reviews and anything interesting in the world of photography. I want to highlight my most recent work here and to share thoughts on photography and life in general.
I hope you enjoy!

Local High School Students Get Innovative for National Lab Day
"If you could do or be anything, what would it be?"
In the Integrated Microsystems Enterprise lab deep within Michigan Technological University's Electrical Energy Resources Center, a group of high school students pondered the question. Soon, they began calling out answers. Doctor. Astronaut. Research scientist.
Their group leader—Michigan Tech student and IME project leader Dan Satchell—nodded his head. "You're on your way."
And they are. Though post-collegiate careers are many years off for these students, they got a head start this week by attending National Lab Day. It's a nationwide movement through the "Educate to Innovate" campaign that is working to bring science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) professionals and teachers together to provide high-quality, discovery-based laboratory experiences for students.
Michigan Tech's Youth Programs answered the call by hosting a day of hands-on lab activities for more than 150 tenth and eleventh graders from throughout the western Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Students were treated to a presentation by Tech's exercise science, health, and physical education department before dispersing into smaller groups to try their hands at projects in twelve of the University's laboratories.
In a forestry lab, students got a feel for the field by learning soil characterization with the School of Forest Resources and Environmental Science's Christopher Hohnholt; meanwhile, across campus, another group performed experiments to test magnetic forces with faculty in one of the University's physics labs.
One student summed it up best while observing a faculty demonstration about the forces that propel shuttles into space—"This is sweet!"
According to Cody Kangas, coordinator of Youth Programs, the goal of the event was to open Michigan Tech's doors and provide students a closer look at the opportunities available to them after high school.
"There is such a tremendous variety of choices that STEM fields can offer students," Kangas said. "We wanted to open their eyes to the unlimited possibilities that exist in STEM-based careers."
Michigan Technological University is a public research university, home to more than 7,000 students from 54 countries. Founded in 1885, the University offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in science and technology, engineering, forestry, business and economics, health professions, humanities, mathematics, and social sciences. Our campus in Michigan's Upper Peninsula overlooks the Keweenaw Waterway and is just a few miles from Lake Superior.

Note: This is a longer message than we usually post here on the blog and is in two parts. First, a message from Steve Shanesy, the publisher and leader of our woodworking community at F+W Media. Then a message from Editor Christopher Schwarz.
Heading Back into the Front Lines of Writing
Nearly 17 years ago I was at home on a ladder painting when the phone rang.
"I'm with F&W Publications here in Cincinnati, and we've recently bought a woodworking magazine. We are looking for an editor. Would you have any interest?"
How could I have known that call would lead to such a long career with Popular Woodworking Magazine?
A couple months back, I decided to leave my busy and often demanding position as business leader of everything relating to woodworking at F+W. I wanted more time in the shop and to begin writing about the craft again. To many, it might have looked like retirement, but it was really about changing gears now that I'm approaching 63 years of age.
Well, folks, the phone rang again.
A few weeks ago, Senior Editor Glen D. Huey told us of a great opportunity that has come his way and that he would be leaving the job. (I'm very glad that he will continue to write for us a contributor.) That hole in the editorial team has become an opening for me. I'm really thrilled to be moving into Glen's position and continue with the magazine. It's a new/old role that takes me right back to my editorial roots here and allows me to do what I've longed for – more time for woodworking and writing. Some days you get lucky.
And other days you're not so lucky. In what I'm sure to many will look a bit like a soap opera, I had the unhappy task earlier this week of letting the staff know that our longtime and much-respected editor has decided to move on as well. Chris is filling you in on his plans below, which really look pretty cool. We're all very happy for him and are getting on with the business of keeping the magazine rolling along.
I know there will be those who will look for intrigue behind these staff changes. The truth is it's just an amazing set of coincidences. As with Glen, we have every intention of Chris continuing to have a role in the magazine by contributing articles, online content and presenting classes at Woodworking in America this fall.
I've had the good fortune of a stable editorial team for years and that's unusual in the magazine world. There is a certain inevitability that it couldn't continue forever.
— Steve Shanesy
I'm Leaving the Editor's Chair
On June 15, I'll be stepping down as editor of this magazine, which I love almost as much as my wife and children, to launch the next phase of my life, which I have been working toward for many years.
An organic llama farm.
Just kidding about the llama farm. Actually, I'm going to plunge deeper into woodworking history, old texts and traditional hand-tool techniques with my little company, Lost Art Press LLC. To my friends, this move should come as no surprise. I've always preferred to work independently. Before I came to Popular Woodworking in 1996, I was editor and co-founder of a small newspaper that covered state politics in Frankfort, Ky.
That business struggled mightily (and eventually failed), despite our every effort to grow it. And I left it in defeat and came here to this magazine, tail between my legs, and learned a lot about the business side of a publication from my boss, Steve Shanesy.
But I am now ready to go back out on my own and try to stand on my own two feet. I might succeed this time. I might not.
Either way, I hope that you'll still hear a lot from me in Popular Woodworking Magazine, on this blog and at Woodworking in America. I've offered to keep writing my blog here at popularwoodworking.com, author regular articles for the magazine and demonstrate at Woodworking in America.
In other words, I don't want to leave the fold here.
I know it looks like we have been shifting around a lot of duties and job descriptions here at Popular Woodworking Magazine. But for the last 15 years or so, things have been remarkably stable for a national magazine, with only a few comings and goings of note.
So perhaps, from a karmic point of view, we were overdue for some change here. Or perhaps, in my particular case, the right timing, urges and opportunities arose all at the same time.
No matter the reason for the personnel change, I know what isn't going to change: The quality of the magazine. No one in this organization, from the very top down to the bottom, thinks that Popular Woodworking Magazine is due for an overhaul. Our balance sheet is excellent. Our bean-counting superiors are happy. Our readers are (generally) satisfied.
So why am I messing with things?
That's hard for me to say. I turn 43 in a few weeks, and I want to make sure I'm heading into the rest of my life with no regrets.
And for me, that means I need to take one more big gamble.
— Christopher Schwarz
p.s. I promise you this transition will be transparent. I have not been fired or forced out. I'm not leaving in disgust. We'll be offering more information on the coming changes and Steve and I will even be answering your questions in a public forum.
Here are some supplies and tools we find essential in our everyday work around the shop. We may receive a commission from sales referred by our links; however, we have carefully selected these products for their usefulness and quality.

Previously a Day Premier Partner, the Solution Partner Conference in Barcelona last week was Cognifide's first outing to an Adobe Event as an Adobe Partner. It didn't take long for us to realise why Day is such a good fit with Adobe. People! From partners, marketers, and salespeople, through to developers, managers and evangelists, everyone shared the same buzz that something big is going to happen in 2011 at Adobe. That something being Customer Experience Management.
After a morning of great forward thinking keynotes, the Customer Experience Management (CEM) value proposition was outlined by Sydney Sloan and Ben Watson. This highlighted Web Experience Management (WEM) as 1 of 4 key plays that Erik Larson clearly positioned within the CEM Product Strategy later that afternoon. As a veteran Day CQ Solution Partner, we started to see more clearly where we could support Adobe in their rollout of CEM.
The Tuesday evening ice-breaker social event at Club Astoria saw key Adobe exhibitors demonstrate that latest product features to solution partners. It was here that I met technical evangelists Duane Nickull and Michael Chaize and was introduced to LiveCycle. After a quick impromptu design session with Duane and other partners, we had creative assets being exported from Photoshop and imported into LiveCycle as strongly type forms. Very impressive.
The following morning, I gave a talk on "Building Marketing Technology Platforms for Engaging Global Brands". This talked to a number of ongoing challenges we face with our clients when executing their marketing strategies to deliver the best customer experiences across multi-channels to market. The 3 shifts in marketing (from traditional to content), technology (from silo'ed to integrated) and platform (from cms to marketing) are key to building a solid foundation upon which to integrate, aggregate and host marketing technology solutions. The talk concluded with the Skype.com case study. You can see the recording below.
It was great to share a stage with Ed Van Siclen, who pretty much set the scene for explaining the shift from traditional marketing to more content/inbound marketing. Then a follow up session with Duane and Michael basically slammed dunked the key role LiveCycle plays in Adobe's CEM vision for me.
Then as the event drew to a close, and business cards were exchanged, the attention swiftly turned to the next partner event scheduled for this March. We're already making plans to attend. Great event Adobe and hope to see everyone in New Orleans.

OTTAWA — More and more newcomers are headed for the booming prairies, but it comes at the expense of Ontario which saw a sharp decline in the number of immigrants who settled there between 2011 and 2006, according to newly released figures.
Experts say it raises serious concerns about the funding formula for settlement services as Ontario, and particularly Toronto, still remain home to the vast majority of foreign-born residents — many of whom have higher needs.
According to Statistics Canada's 2011 National Household Survey — the replacement for the long-form census, which was scrapped by the Conservatives in 2010 — more immigrants are choosing to settle in Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
Alberta welcomed 12.4 per cent of all newcomers in 2011, up from 9.3 per cent in 2006, while five per cent of all immigrants chose to settle in Manitoba, up from 2.8 per cent five years earlier. Meanwhile, some 2.3 per cent of all newcomers made Saskatchewan home, up from 0.7 per cent in 2006.
Quebec also saw a slight increase in immigration, up to 19.2 per cent in 2011 from 17.5 per cent in 2006. On the other hand, Ontario experienced a sharp decline in its share of newcomers. According to Statistics Canada, about 43 per cent of newcomers settled in Ontario in 2011, compared to 52 per cent in 2006.
B.C.'s share of newcomers remained stable at around 16 per cent.
That said, more than half of all foreign-born residents in Canada live in Ontario. Nearly 18 per cent call B.C. home.
Toronto and Vancouver are also inching ever closer to having the first majority immigrant population. Some 46 per cent of Torontonians are now foreign born, up slightly from 2006, while 40 per cent of Vancouverites are immigrants.
In all, one in five residents in Canada are foreign born which is largely unchanged from similar figures revealed in the 2006 long-form census.
University of Toronto law professor Audrey Macklin said the shifting geographic flow of immigrants has an impact on settlement funding and that could be worrisome.
Not only has the federal government clawed back the responsibility in recent years rather than allow the provinces to manage their own programs, it has also shifted funds away from Ontario due to declining numbers.
In 2011, the government slashed $31.5 million in funding from Ontario, much of which was redirected to other parts of the country that started welcoming new immigrants.
While many newcomers headed west tend to be skilled workers, Macklin suggested Ontario, and particularly Toronto, have proportionally, more family-class immigrants and refugees.
"If Ontario gets more refugees and refugees require more intensive settlement assistance than some other classes of immigrants, then you need a more nuanced formula," she said.
"There's a more complicated story to tell even if proportion is declining."
Because settlement funding is so closely tied to immigration patterns, Debbie Douglas, executive director of the Ontario Council of Agencies Serving Immigrants, raised concerns about the reliability of the new survey.
Statisticians caution there is no way of knowing how good or bad the information from the survey is as the voluntary nature of it leaves gaps in the data from groups that tend not to respond to voluntary surveys, including new immigrants and low-income families. Experts believe the data should provide a fairly accurate broad scale picture of Canada, but that the smaller the group surveyed, the less reliable the information.
"If we are under counting the amount of immigrations in Ontario for example, whose first language isn't French or English, that has an impact in terms of the funding dollars attached to language training," she said, adding the province has also used the figures to determine English-as-a-second-language programming.
According to the survey, Canada's foreign-born population stands at nearly 6.8 million, up from about 6.2 million in 2006. Of all G8 countries, Canada continues to have the highest proportion of foreign-born residents. Outside the G8, Australia continued to surpass Canada with foreigners accounting for nearly 27 per cent of its population.
Between 2006 and 2011, nearly 1.2 million foreigners immigrated to Canada, more than half of them from Asia and the Middle East. European immigrants were the second largest group of newcomers, accounting for 159,700 newcomers or 13.7 per cent of all recent immigrants.
Nearly 60 per cent of those who came to Canada between 2006 and 2011 were between the ages of 25 and 54, while children under the age of 14 accounted for nearly a fifth of the newcomer population. Another 14.5 per cent were between the ages of 15 and 24.

With advance apologies for giving any more press to Jose Canseco, you might want to check out a little contretemps happening over at Econ Journal Watch about Canseco's role as the Johnny Appleseed of baseball steroids. There's been a debate for a few years now about Canseco's claims to have spread the gospel of 'roids on the seven different major league teams he played for. In the late aughts two labor economists crunched the numbers and found that Canseco's benefits to his teammates, both sluggers and pitchers, was statistically significant—suggesting that he brought enough PEDs with him to actually enhance others' performance. You may not be able to make your teammates better by going to practice, but you can add a couple of home runs and a handful of RBIs to their annual total by showing them how to juice.
The study by Eric Gould and Todd Kaplan appears to demonstrate how one employee can demonstrably tilt a company's culture toward cheating. (Slate wrote it up, back in the day.) Canseco appears to be an empirical example of the "contagion effect" of a crooked co-worker in an industry in which performance pressure is high. It's a short leap to considering what happens when everyone goes rogue at an investment bank or mortgage lender.
But then along came J.C. Bradbury, the author of The Baseball Economist: The Real Game Exposed. First in this Sabernomics blog post, he ripped the Gould-Kaplan analysis as fundamentally in error. He didn't like the time span of their player sample (1970 to 2003; Canseco played from '85 to '01). He didn't like how the players were classified. He didn't like the control variables. When he ran his own analysis, he had reason to view Gould and Kaplan's results as "fragile" and offering "spurious correlation."
Bradbury's analysis matured from a blog post to a full article, published last month; you can read it here. He recreates their analysis with what he sees as better parameters and determines that the so-called Canseco effect was nonexistent. His buzzkilling conclusion:
... [B]eing Jose Canseco's teammate did not provide any marginal performance advantage over players who were never teammates with Canseco. Thus, Canseco's role in spreading steroid use in baseball is likely exaggerated. In fact, the lack of results should not be surprising even in a world of rampant steroid use. The knowledge of how to use steroids is understood widely throughout sports among athletes, trainers, coaches, and doctors.
And there we would rest had Gould and Kaplan not fired back at Bradbury with a response to the response. They disagree with his statistical analysis, saying he's oddly restrictive in the data he wanted to consider. And then they intimate that the real reason Bradbury quibbles with their methods is that he doesn't like their conclusions:
Bradbury has a very public history of denying the efficacy of steroids and human growth hormone. He has claimed repeatedly that steroids had nothing to do with the longstanding home run records being smashed by Mark McGwire and Barry Bonds in 1998 and 2001 at the ages of 35 and 36 respectively. In his 2008 book The Baseball Economist, Bradbury stated unequivocally that league expansion, not steroid use, explains why power hitting has increased over the years: "In fact, their great achievements in home run hitting are exactly what we would expect given the current distribution of talent in the league. The statistics don't convict them" (Bradbury 2008, 94). …
Without having done any econometric analysis of the effects of steroids versus league expansion, Bradbury denies that steroids had any effect on home runs in baseball. This is a rather extreme position—one that is clearly at odds with our results, which came out a few years later. … Apparently, Bradbury doesn't even like that we raised the subject.
It's one thing to be wrong; it's another to be both wrong and full of shit. If Gould and Kaplan were to go any further they might as well call Bradbury Canseco-esque.

What You Need to Know
Searching for Jesus
The Thursday Takeaway
Remember when, after Pineda exhibited diminished velocity and was diagnosed with a torn labrum in his right shoulder, it seemed as though the Mariners might emerge as the clear victors in the trade? Well, a year-plus of below-replacement-level work from Montero may have tilted the scales back toward the Yankees, who on Thursday also received positive news about the recovery of the 24-year-old pitcher they so highly coveted two offseasons ago.
Pineda has been pitching in extended spring training games, and, according to Andy McCullough of the Newark Star-Ledger, a minor-league rehab assignment is on the horizon. If all goes well, that could put Pineda on track to return to the Yankees sometime during the second half of this season. And, considering that reports from earlier this month had Pineda touching the mid-90s with his fastball, it seems entirely plausible that he will contribute more to the Yankees' cause this year than Montero will give to the Mariners.
The other two players involved in the trade—Hector Noesi, who went from New York to Seattle, and Jose Campos, who headed east with Pineda—have thus far been nonfactors. Noesi served up 21 homers in 106 2/3 innings last year, en route to a 5.82 ERA, and though he has fared better in limited action in 2013, he's not likely to ever be more than a back-end starter or swingman. Campos, a highly-regarded prospect in the Mariners system at the time of the swap, spent most of the 2012 season on the shelf and is now getting his first full-season taste of full-season ball at age 20.
So, who wins what once was billed as a win-win trade?
The Mariners were winning last year. The Yankees, at least based on Thursday's news and Campos' return to the mound, are winning now. As for the eventual, long-term winner—that remains anyone's guess.
Matchup of the Day
As a result, the 27-year-old's ERA has climbed from 1.57 to 3.02, and he's fortunate that it hasn't climbed much further, because his FIP stands at 4.55. Medlen, who would have been a strong Cy Young Award contender had he sustained his summertime surge over a full season, has been a replacement-level arm over his first nine outings this spring. His next assignment comes this evening at Citi Field, where he has posted a 1.37 ERA over 19 2/3 career innings, in part because of his success in shutting down David Wright.
The Mets third baseman was among the many players impressed by Medlen's remarkable run last year, as he went 2-for-9 with five strikeouts in their 2012 encounters. Overall, Wright is 2-for-16 versus Medlen with two walks and seven strikeouts, and since both of the hits were singles, his triple-slash line is a mediocre .125/.222/.125.
So far this year, Wright has essentially been the same hitter (.293/.395/.490) that he was last year (.306/.391/.492). He excels at punishing middle-of-the-zone fastballs, regardless of height, and though he absolutely pummels left-handed pitching (.337 career TAv), he's no slouch against righties (.294), either.
So, what has Medlen done to keep Wright on his heels? Nothing fancy, really—just the same sequencing and command that worked wonders for him throughout 2012. In this strikeout on April 17, Medlen benefited from an expanded strike zone, but made an excellent fifth-pitch changeup, set up by a spate of sinkers. In this one on August 11, he worked the outside edge with sinkers, before surprising Wright with a curveball right down Broadway.
Medlen's ability to hit the corners and mix his fastball, curveball, and changeup effectively led to his breakout 2012 campaign and has been critical to his success against Wright. If Medlen's control is as erratic tonight as it has been so far this season, Wright could be poised to turn the tables (7:10 p.m. ET).

This releases also fixes the reading of aliased atoms in MDL V2000 molfiles, thanx to another bug fix patch from John May (thanx!), and formally deprecates the nonotify implementation, which has already been removed from the master branch. The silent module should be used instead, which has the same functionality but has cleaner code and faster.
However, one important change you should take notice of, is an API change in the IIteratingChemObjectReader class. The change is minor, but useful. The interface is now typed, and implementing classes implement IIteratingChemObjectReader<IChemModel> (IteratingPCSubstancesXMLReader) or IIteratingChemObjectReader<IAtomContainer> (IteratingMDLReader, IteratingPCCompoundASNReader, IteratingPCCompoundXMLReader, IteratingSMILESReader). This means, that this iterator's next() method now returns an IChemModel or an IAtomContainer, and that casting in the using code is no longer needed.
The changes
- Another hot fix: use @link with the full qualified class name, and removed the import, to fix a dependency issue 0e71cba
- Added a @deprecated tag on the nonotify data classes, pointing to the silent implementation d283686
- Fixed dependencies 5ef20b1
- Extend the abstract suite, so to run the test for the null pointer exception 269c84c
- Work with the interface 106e5ec
- Check for a null input fb35047
- Removed unneeded deps on CMLXOM for JNI-InChI (thanx to Dmitry Katsubo). 8524891
- Added missing imports of IAtomContainer, needed by the last two patches, but which were not needed in master because we did all that IMolecule/IAtomContainer refactoring already 856f83c
- Proper typing of the DefaultIteratingChemObjectReader, so that other classes can safely extend it (thanx to Nina) 6de90d3
- Typed the iterator, removing the need for casting when used 44b7e76
- Added John May as author 1142dc6
- Also check that there are two such R1 atoms 962b7d2
- Added modifications and unit test for alias atom naming patch bd4b094
- Corrected alias atom naming in MDLV2000Reader and added test 23132a0

With an economy that's still drooping in spots and high long-term unemployment now a part of the landscape, it isn't surprising that politicians have taken notice of the retirement crisis in America.
American workers' lack of retirement readiness has been dropped on the doorstep of the defined contribution market and it's been pointed out again and again that 401(k) plans just don't offer the same benefits and guarantees that used to come with defined benefit pension plans.
But is the 401(k) industry so bad? Why is it always cast as an outlaw in the retirement readiness showdown?
Todd Berghuis, senior vice president of ERISA compliance for Ascensus, said in a recent blog post that while no industry is perfect, including the 401(k) market, people shouldn't shoot the messenger when it comes to news about retirement readiness. Having access to a retirement vehicle is more important than finding a nonexistent perfect retirement vehicle, he said.
Numerous studies in the past year have highlighted that although 80 percent of full-time American workers have access to a workplace retirement plan, only about 60 percent take advantage of that. And those that do take advantage don't defer enough of their salary to meet their income needs in retirement.
Greg Ward, director of the Financial Finesse think tank and a senior resident financial planner with the company, said that much of the criticism of the 401(k) industry does stem from the fact that employees are not doing enough to prepare for retirement and most don't even know how much money they need to save.
Much of the emphasis in retirement education has been on saving for retirement, but the amount needed in retirement is a vague notion nobody cares to explore. Obviously, if a person is setting money aside for retirement, that amount will be enough. But "in reality, they should be saving more," Ward said.
"Part of it is acknowledging that we have been telling them to save but not giving them the tools, resources or education they need to know how much they should be saving with respect to investments," he added.
And different generations approach retirement differently. Millennials are more conservative investors, meaning they are missing out on the years when they should be taking on more risk to build their retirement nest egg, Ward said. Generation X, in contrast, is the most likely generation to invest in the stock market.
Another reason people are cynical about the 401(k) industry stems from the roots of the industry itself.
When the industry first got started, back in the 1980s, the primary source of education about the industry were 401(k) providers themselves, he said.
"There's a lot of money in retirement plans and for many years, the 401(k) providers had a lot at stake to get people to save money. We also know a lot of revenue is generated through retail mutual funds and traditional investments. For a long time we didn't pay as much attention to the fees as we did the performance," Ward said.
Questioning plan expenses
When the bottom dropped out of the dot.com economy and stocks weren't going as gangbusters as they had in the past, people began to question 401(k) plan expenses.
That's why government regulatory agencies like the Securities and Exchange Commission, Internal Revenue Service and Department of Labor stepped in to make retirement regulations a priority, churning out fee disclosure rules for both retirement plan providers and plan sponsors and teasing the industry with proposals of a new fiduciary standard, one that would hold brokers to the same advice standards as registered investment advisors.
"Fee disclosures are now required every year, which is an improvement," said Ward. "As the marketplace becomes more aware of the expenses associated with these programs, that may be another reason the 401(k) industry is coming under more scrutiny."
Chad Parks, founder and CEO of The Online 401(k), plants the 401(k) industry's bad reputation at its doorstep saying that "historically it has been less than transparent in its pricing model."
In some cases, 401(k) plan participants pay as high as 2.5 percent of their retirement assets in fees, which adds up over time and cuts into the amount of funds retirees have available to them in the years they need it most. The fees were high for a couple of reasons. Plan sponsors could use those fees to pay for the administrative costs of setting up the plans. In addition, sources said returns were so high that mutual fund companies could charge more and customer wouldn't know or mind.
The regulatory environment "didn't see anything wrong with that model and didn't realize the long-term negative effects of asset-based pricing on participant savings," Parks said.
It was these high-fee models that opened up a door for lower priced providers like Charles Schwab and TD Ameritrade to come in and nip away at the market share of the bigger 401(k) providers, like Merrill Lynch, he said.
The retirement industry has been slow to adapt to change and have been "caught with their pants down," Parks said. The cell phone industry is a good example of an industry that charged high fees for everything but improved once technological innovations paved the way for lower fees.
Bad Reputation
So, does the 401(k) industry deserve its bad reputation? "Yes," he said, "because technology has improved, costs have come down and the market has expanded. In that formula, most companies and consumers of those goods see price depreciation that hasn't happened in the 401(k) space."
Some companies, like The Hartford, saw the writing on the wall and exited the 401(k) market. "With continuing price pressure on our fees vs. infrastructure costs, maybe it is not the best business to be in," he added. "Companies like mine, we are a disruptor; we came into this business from the bottom up. We were never looking at it from an asset/revenue model but a flat fee for service model."
Even with its myriad problems, the 401(k) industry is still very important and "if it hadn't been for the advent of this industry and providers being willing to do this work, a lot of people would be a lot worse off today. It is not perfect or the leanest approach it could have been, but people are still coming out ahead because they wouldn't have a vehicle otherwise," Parks said. The industry "needs to continue to evolve and evolve faster."
The industry can be blamed for some of the retirement crisis but at some point individuals have to take charge of their own behavior, including being aware of their investments and the fees being charged through their retirement plans, Ward said.
All parties have to participate in the solution. It is up to providers to give participants the resources they need to make informed decisions, including plan design enhancements, automatic enrollment, automatic escalation, target-date funds, managed accounts and online tools and resources for financial advice.
"Now more than ever we have the tools and resources to touch different generations," Ward said. "Millennials like the technology side. Boomers like the ability to work with advisors in managed accounts."
And while you can lead a horse to water, you can't make it drink.
"The behavioral change is not going to come from all the features and plan design," Ward said. "The behavioral change is going to come from the education and the social pressure that says look, just like you physically need to be healthier, eat less junk food, smoke or drink, it is not good to have financially bad behavior."

WEST MARLBOROUGH -- Chester County Day, the annual event that shows off many of the area's most spectacular properties, highlighted one of the state's largest and oldest trees: the Penn Oak at London Grove Friends Meetinghouse.
At 21 feet in circumference at the base, it is so-named because it was present on the grounds of the meeting in 1683, when William Penn founded the state.
Beginning at mid-morning on Saturday, visitors from all over marveled at the giant oak, still loaded with leaves before its annual autumnal shedding.
Photographer Red Hamer, who manned the station beside the tree, showed pictures he has taken of it in the past and featured in a book. He said it was one of the biggest and oldest trees he has seen, although he said he once photographed an oak that was 482-years-old in Wye Mills, Md.
Plant and garden expert Susan Goldsworthy, who is a member of the meeting, said the tree is 'our love.'
She said an arborist comes once a year to care for it and feed it, as well as to check on the cables which keep it stable. The tree also has a lightning rod on top, but Goldsworthy said it has not been struck in her memory.
Fifteen years ago the tree looked as though it was struggling, Goldsworthy said, but its caretakers readjusted what they were doing with its mulch and now it seems in good shape.
'It's still growing. It grows seven inches every 10 years,' she said.
She added that each year, the children who attend the London Grove Friends Meeting Kindergarten gather hands around the tree to see how many of them it takes to complete the circle.
Chester County Day is held annually on the first Saturday in October, and the area it covers rotates around the county. This year it was the southeast quadrant. The houses opened for visitors were located as far east as Chadds Ford and as far west as the meetinghouse.
Visitors were able to eat along the way, as several of the locations had tables set up and issued box lunches that have been ordered ahead of time. The Friends meeting was one of those locations.
Chester County Days benefit the Chester County Hospital and to date has contributed close to $4 million.

Buyer & Seller Advice: There Are Two Sides to Every Story
This post could go on FOREVER. So to make a long story short, whether you are the buyer or the seller, YOU are not the only person involved in the story.
Buyer or Seller: There does not have to be a "winner" or a "loser." There can be winnerS → and there can be loserS. We have loserS when a deal falls apart because our adults have not learned how to share. We have winnerS when we can find a meeting of the minds where each party can be satisfied. If you SIGN the contract → you are satisfied. So be nice. You agreed!
Buyer or Seller: Look at the whole picture. Get out a piece of paper. Write down who has given what. Then….. when an issue comes up, it's okay to ASK for something. After all, you have not because you ask not, → but don't freak out if you are the one who has been doing all the asking and the other party finally has enough. Now is probably a good time for you to Man-Up/Woman-Up and give some. If you don't, and we end up with LoserS, you only have yourself to blame. GREED will get you every time.
Buyer or Seller: Do unto others are you would have others do unto you. It's that simple. Put yourself in the other person's situation. Again, weigh everything out. Is it balanced. What is fair? You know what's fair. Do the right thing!
Buyer AND Seller: There are two sides to every story. But that does not mean that the story can not have a happy ending!

Connecticut hospitals would take hit if Gov. Malloy's budget passes
email@example.com / Twitter: @edstannardnhr, @nhrvoices
The 2014-15 budget proposed by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy on Wednesday will severely harm the state's hospitals because of planned cuts to the Medicaid program, according to the Connecticut Hospital Association.
The secretary of the state budget office said, however, that the cuts won't hurt most hospitals, which are profitable.
"These cuts are beyond any pale of reasonableness and it just seems as if there is a real sense that the state doesn't have any obligation to adequately fund the insurance programs that it delivers to folks," said Stephen Frayne, senior vice president of health policy for the CHA.
According to the CT Mirror (ctmirror.org), payments for treating uninsured and underinsured patients would be cut in half, then eliminated over the two years. The news site said the state will save $207 million in 2014 and $341 million in 2015. Yale-New Haven Hospital would be hurt the most, CT Mirror said, with a $102.3 million loss over two years.
Yale-New Haven Hospital officials deferred comment to the CHA.
Frayne based his argument on the payments hospitals receive for certain Medicaid patients, which was set at $400 million in the last budget, but cut $103 million in December. That payment will drop each year to $80 million by 2015, Frayne said.
He also said that the Medicaid Low-Income Adults program, which costs the state $340 million, will be entirely paid for by the federal government in 2014. "What we don't understand is why do we need any of these cuts at all when all the money that is needed to cover us is coming to the state of Connecticut from the federal government," Frayne said. "What are they doing with the money?"
Ben Barnes, secretary of the state Office of Policy and Management, said Frayne was telling only part of the story, that the state pays hospitals "well in excess of $1 billion" in Medicaid reimbursements, an amount that "will continue to grow well above inflation as more people come onto the Medicaid program." That expansion is a result of the Affordable Care Act going into effect fully next year, increasing the state's Medicaid rolls by 60,000. Obamacare is expected to bring the state $513 million in 2014, according to ctnewsjunkie.com.
Barnes said the cuts hospitals will have to absorb include a program that pays for uninsured patients who are not eligible for Medicaid, which will be cut $130 million in 2014 and $260 million in 2015, and an adjustment in payment rates to equalize them among all hospitals, for a net loss of $50 million.
"I certainly agree with Mr. Frayne that we are cutting the subsidy to hospitals," Barnes said. "There are a few cases where it will cause a hardship. They are having in most cases reasonably strong positive balances and positive operating results."

Let $N$ be a positive integer. We want to find a completely multiplicative functions $f(n)$ with values $\pm 1$ for $n \le N$ such that the discrepancy $$D=\max_{n \le N} |\{\sum_{i=1}^nf(i)\}|$$ is as small as possible. This is Erdős Discrepancy problem for multiplicative functions.
Consider the following greedy algorithm:
After you assigned the values $f(2),f(3),\dots f(p_i)$ for the first $i$ primes assign the value $f(p_{i+1})$ so as to minimize the maximum discrepancy $|\{\sum_{i=1}^nf(i)\}|$ in every partial sum where unassigned entries of $f$ get the value zero.
Question: How does this greedy algorithm perform?
Experimental or heuristic answers as well as rigorous proofs are welcomed.
For more background and related questions see this post .
Consider the same greedy algorithm when you impose the condition that $f(m)=0$ unless $m$ is square free. (If $m$ is not square free $f$ is multiplicative and has values $\pm1$.)
Question: How does our greedy algorithm performs on the square-free version?
Namely, we would like to understand the behavior of the discrepancy of the function obtained by our greedy algorithm. While for EDP there are known examples with $\log N$ discrepancy, this is not known for the square-free version.
The very nice answer by rlo suggests that the greedy algorithm gives discrepancy close to $n^{1/3}$ or so, and rlo expects it also for the square free variation. Can an upper bound of $N^{1/2-\epsilon}$ be proved? What about a lower bound of $N^{\epsilon}$. Another interesting question is if you can improve the greedy algorithm to get lower discrepancy. Our greedy ignore 0's in intervals. A greedy algorithm that ignore intervals with 0's was considered in polymath5 and to the best of my memory achieve discrepancy $n^{1/2}$. Maybe a clever interpolation between these two variants will do a better job than both?
Further meditation and a new variant
It seems that in our greedy algorithm the decisions we make for small primes are fairly irrelevant. A way to check it:
Run the algorithm for N and test what is the discrepancy for an interval [1,T] where T is, say, $\sqrt N$. I would expect the answer to be roughly $\sqrt T$.
So now we can think about the following variation:
Let $a>1$ be a real number. We run the greedy algorithm above but our decision for $f(p)$ is based only on intervals $[1,n]$ where $n \le p^a$. (Of course we consider only $n \le N$.
Questions: Can this variant lead to lower discrepancy?
What is the optimal value of $a$?

Q: My brother and I were recently talking about a cake that our mom used to make called Triple Chocolate Cake (in a 13-by-9 pan) The three chocolate items were chocolate cake mix, chocolate instant pudding mix and chocolate chips. When our mom passed away we looked in her recipes for this and could not find it. Based on our age and our memories it was probably the late '70s and early '80s that she made this cake. Any thoughts?
—Stacey Fanale, Geneva
A: Thoughts? Well, honestly, I'm conflicted. This is a recipe your mom used to make and I can understand why you and your brother would be interested in it now. This Triple Chocolate Cake holds cherished memories for you two and I respect your desire to find the recipe. But the food writer in me kinda wishes you were searching for something else, a recipe more from scratch, without the cake mix and instant pudding. But, again, that's not the recipe your mom made — and as a man who ate jarred baby custard well into adulthood, I can't really say anything.
What to do? I searched online using the key words "triple chocolate cake" "cake mix" "instant pudding" "chocolate chips" "9-by-13" and "pan." There were a lot of recipes, many of which called for baking in a bundt or tube pan. I have no idea which of these recipes, if any, is like the one your mom made. You'll need to go through them on your own and see what strikes you as similar.
This recipe from About.com caught my eye, although it calls for sour cream and is baked in a bundt pan. What struck me was the comment posted by the sharer, Chef John Mitzewich, who is a noted YouTube recipe video blogger (foodwishes.blogspot.com). Mitzewich, a San Francisco resident, wrote: "Most 'doctored' boxed mix chocolate cake recipes just don't deliver the rich and decadent results that the made-from-scratch cakes do. This triple chocolate cake is so delicious you won't feel the least bit guilty for using such an easy recipe."
Give it a try and see if you agree with the chef.
Triple Chocolate Cake
Prep: 10 minutes. Cook: 50 minutes. Yield: 10 slices
1 box (18 ounces) devil's food chocolate cake mix
1 package (6 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix
1 cup each: sour cream, vegetable oil
4 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup warm water
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Latest Lifestyles
Powdered sugar, as needed
1.In a mixing bowl, use a whisk to stir together the chocolate cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, oil, eggs and water. Mix in chocolate chips and pour the batter into a greased 12-cup bundt pan.
2.Bake in a 350-degree oven for 50 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cool cake for 90 minutes before turning over onto a serving plate. Dust the cake with powdered sugar.

Nº 1968 CUSTOM BUILT WATCH
Watch Episode 8 of The Vaults here and deep dive into the inspiration behind Nº 1968 custom built watch.
Launched Friday, 19 April 2019, Nº 1968 custom built watch is set fifteen years after WT Author's sixth collection. It marks the 1968 season of World Championship motor racing. Our signature silhouette adopts a rotating bezel referencing racing watches from the time. Each watch is finished beautifully with a refined 22 mm handmade leather rally strap. Or choose a silver-tone, solid stainless steel jubilee bracelet instead.
We build our products using tailor-made components from every corner of the globe (from USA to South America, Asia to Switzerland and of course, UK).
Utilising a combination of matt and highly-polished surfaces. The custom built watch measures 44 mm across, 49 mm high including the lugs with an overall case depth of 12.5 mm. The dial utilises colour and details taking influence directly from 1960's motor racing and is enhanced with Author's unique shape. Each finished product utilises a bespoke dial design that brings a subtle knurled textures, combined with traditionally formed custom-made hands. The custom built watch has been modernised with a bespoke "casino chip" enamel screw down back, signature red aluminium crown embossed with our brand's iconic trademark and Citizen / Miyota 8217 automatic calibre.
Each Nº 1968 silver-tone solid jubilee bracelet is constructed with a five-piece, semi-circular link design designed to be more refined than a standard three-piece bracelet. It represents a flagship alternative to our raw leather straps.
Each Nº 1968 leather rally watch strap has been handmade in Britain using oil tanned dyed through shoulder. The rich colour which is treated with waxes and oils offers a distressed effect which lightens in colour when folded or turned. The natural grain is left intact to show all the growth marks and unique character therefore giving a distinctive antique look with this mellow feeling skin. The strap has been designed and manufactured to fit a 22 mm lug width with an overall thickness of 3 mm and is embossed with the WT Author 'A' trademark. Each strap is completed with a polished stainless steel buckle and finished with rounded, burnished strap edges.
We believe that our products should be available at the same price wherever you are in the world therefore we offer free international shipping.
