Andrew Pullin (.341) had 3 hits including a double, 2 HR (10), and 2 RBI (32).Rhys Hoskins, Christian Marrero (.245), and Scott Kingery had 2 hits apiece. Kingery had the othr RBI (14). Roman Quinn hit his 4th home run.
Reading is in first place 4.5 games ahead of Trenton with 15 games remaining. They play the last 4 games of the season on the road in Trenton. The top 2 teams in each division make the playoffs. Only third place Hartford remains alive in the race to catch the top two teams. They are 11.5 games behind the Phils, 7.0 games behind the Yankees. The Phils' magic number to clinch a playoff spot is 5.
Clearwater (74-51) Beat Daytona, 15-0. Drew Anderson (2-1, 1.69) 3-hit the Tortugas through 5.0 shutout innings. He walked one and struck out four. Austin Davis (4.82) struck out three in 2.0, one-hit innings. Ulises Joaquin (2.79) and Jeff Singer (8.31) completed the combined shutout with a one-strike out, 1-2-3 inning each.
The Threshers posted season-highs with 15 runs and 19 hits. They also drew 7 walks. Chace Numata (.320) went 5 -6, scored 3 runs, and had 2 RBI. Numata would lead the FSL in batting average if he had enough at bats. He needs maintain his present pace and get 52 AB over the remaining 13 games. If Numata were able to qualify with the best average, that would be back-to-back seasons where the Threshers had the league leader. Willians Astudillo lead the league last season.

The GCL Phillies' Raul Rivas entered the game as a defensive substitution in the 8th and got his first hit in the bottom of the inning, a lead off single.
Anderson threw 85 pitches, 57 strikes (67.1%).
24 of his strikes (42.1%) came on foul balls. 10 in the third and 7 in the fourth when he threw 23 and 20 pitches in those innings.
He got 9 swing-and-miss strikes (15.8%) all on fastballs.
His four swinging strike outs came on FB at 94, 89, 94, and 92 mph.
His last two outs in the fifth inning came on his 3rd and 4th strike outs.
He threw 10 of 19 first pitch strikes (52.6%).
He relied heavily on his FB, 28 of 30 pitches (93.3%)in the first 2 innings were FB.
74 of his 85 pitches were FB (87.1%).
His FB range was 89-94 mph. He dipped to 88 once and touched 95 once.
His FB sat 91-93 mph (14-17-17) but hit 94 nine times, at least once each inning.
He threw 7 curve balls, 76-79 mph.
He threw 4 off speed pitches 82-84 mph.
Today was the first time I saw Austin Davis for an extended outing (2.0 innings, 30 plus pitches). HIs FB was 89-93 mph. his CB was 71-74 mph. He had an off sped pitch that sat 82-83 mph.
Jeff Singer entered in a low leverage situation and threw his FB at 93-94 in a short 1.0 inning appearance. He had an off speed pitch that was at 84 mph.
The Threshers are in second place, 2.0 games behind the Dunedin Blue Jays. They are 1.0 game ahead of the Daytona Tortugas with 13 games remaining. Their elimination number is 12. They play 6 games against cellar-dwelling Brevard County (14-43). They have a 3-game series in Daytona book-ended by the Brevard County series. And, they play the final 4 games against Dunedin, 2 home and 2 away (actually away-home-home-away).
Lakewood (61-63) Leading Delmarva 7-5. Suspended by rain in the third inning. Game will be completed tomorrow as part of a double header that starts at 5:05 PM. It will be finished as a 9-inning game. The regularly-scheduled game will be seven innings.
Before the game was suspended, Franklyn Kilome had been lifted during a 35-pitch first inning where he gave up 4 runs and retired only two Shorebirds. He turned over two runners to Scott Harris, who escaped the first with no further damage but gave up a solo HR in the second.
The BlueClaws scored 4 in the first and three in the second. Cornelius Randolph had 2 hits in three at bats and had 3 RBI on a single in the first and 2-run single in the second. His average when the game was suspended is .272.
Lakewood is in first place for the second half. They are ahead of Kannapolis by 2.0 games with 15 to play. Their magic number is 14.
Williamsport (32-27) Postponed, wet grounds. Game will be completed tomorrow as part of a double header that starts at 5:05 PM. Both will be 7-inning games.
The Crosscutters are 8.0 games behind State College. With 16 games remaining, the elimination number is nine. They are third in the wild card race, 1.5 games behind the Staten Island Yankees. The wild card elimination number is 16.
GCL Phillies (36-14) No game scheduled.
The Phillies are 1.0 game behind the GCL Blue Jays. The Blue Jays have two rain outs that will not be made up. If the teams finish tied, the Blue Jays will get the playoff berth based on a higher winning percentage. So, the Phillies must finish a game ahead of the Blue Jays to win their division. They have 10 games remaining, 4 against the Blue Jays (2 this week). Because there is no wild card, one of the Phillies and Blue Jays could finish with the second best record in the GCL (and a winning percentage better than .700) and miss the playoffs.
DSL Phillies (28-36) No game scheduled.
The Phillies have been eliminated from playoff contention for a while. They also have 6 games remaining, and will finish the season with a losing record.
DSL Phillies2 (40-26) No game scheduled.
The Phillies2 are 6.0 games behind the Red Sox2 with 6 games remaining. They are still alive in the wild card. They are 3.0 games behind the second wild card position. Their elimination number is three. There are 3 teams between them and that spot.
8/21 – Reading placed LHP Mario Hollands on the 7-day disabled list.
8/21 – Clearwater placed 2B Derek Campbell on the 7-day disabled list.
8/21 – Raul Rivas assigned to Clearwater from GCL Phillies.
Why not much talk on here about Alfaro? Don't get me wrong I know he's highly regarded on here by many but still he's not brought up much. At Reading obviously Cozens/Hoskins gets most of the talk right now with Quinn following them, even Pullen but don't short change Alfaro's season . . He's done really well. I mean his hit tool was his biggest weakness (and approach) but he's done just fine. If all clicked for every player on reading I'd make the argument that Alfaro's ceiling is the highest.
so release Cody Asche and replace him with Quinn? or Nick Williams?
Eric not to worry this yr was the yr of the pitcher. So many pitcher's were moved up and down. Next yr LVH will have Alfaro, Knapp, Williams, Cozens BTW he's playing CF and Quinn playing RF alot. Hoskins, Valentin , JP, Pullin, . Next yr will be the yr of the bat. Anderson moving up into my top 15 he moved up to high A with little probelm. BTW Eric Groome first start will be tommorrow.
What does being on the 40 over the off-season make them required to make the 25 come April?
Since he stated it again below, i'm going to take a stab at answering. I'm guessing he means that we have so many "good" players to protect, that we cannot afford to have many marginal players on the 40 man roster. If that is the case, you may need to take your most mature prospects (i.e. Knapp and Williams) and put them on the roster. I haven't looked at the 40 man in depth, but, if the case of having a lot of young talent that needs to be protected, this is a possibility.
I'm not saying this is the case, just trying to analyze WHY Murray made the comment he did. I don't think it is an unreasonable thought though.
And most of al the players on the above list have three options still remaining so a call up and a send down is not an issue.
IMO, there are currently 8/9 players right now on the 40 that can be DFAed today and will probably not be selected by any team within the 10 day transition period.
As for Williams…..I still see him starting the next season at LHV and getting the typical rookie prospect call up in May, if he is doing well that is at LHV.
Understood. Again, I have not looked at the 40 man in depth. I agreed with your assertion that just being on the 40 man doesn't mean you need to be on the big league roster. Since he posted the same comment below, was just trying to figure out his thought process. Maybe he will explain his thought at some point.
Thanks, I couldn't have explained it better myself. They're going to run out of 40 spots. It's not true that you only have to manage it up to the draft. You have to manage it all season. Once a player has to be protected you only have 40 spots to carry 25 plus 15 others. If you need 40 man spots for 26 guys not ready for the majors, you're screwed. There will be roster pressure unless you're prepared to lose Lively, or Pinto, or Drew Anderson, etc. Its a long list this year, we're definitely losing at least a few guys.
@Murray – the Phils will probably protect at least 8 to 14 the most. Half of the 40-man are either FA and/or expendable players so there's enough spots to protect the top prospects and keep some "placeholders" that will keep the seats warm for JPC, Nick, Quinn and other reinforcement like Cozens, Hoskins, Kingery, etc).
Nick, Lively, Pinto, Cozens, Appel. Pivetta, Knapp (that's 7) will be protected and join Quinn, JPC in LHV.
Elniery Garcia will be protected too especially if he finished strong which will be the minimum # to 8. Even if the Phils decided to protect Tocci, Tirado, Pullin, Anderson and Valentin – the number is only #13 — so at the least, there will be 27 MLB ready players to start 2017 season.
Pullin has been in AA for 41 games and has 170 ABs. You'd think the AA pitchers would have adjusted to him by now. His longest hitless streak has been 2 games and that happened once. He's had hits in 33 games and 16 of them were multi-hit games. I know… 41 games is a tiny sample size but you'd think some of the AA pitchers would have adjusted to him. His .341/.387/.571 with an OPS of .958 is pretty damn good. Especially since he retired for a stretch during the season. He also has a .900+ OPS against both lefties and righties. Let me add this, he's hitting .514/.558/.829 with a 1.387 OPS with runners on base. And I almost forgot, he's hitting better on the road than in the bandbox in Reading. He's having a Knapp-like short stint. That short stint by Knapp put him in AAA awaiting possible call up to the bigs. Fielding isn't too shabby either; 5 OF assists from LF.
The only things to point out in the CLW thrashing or should I say threshing, is 2 guys didn't join in the hit parade: Tobias and Tromp. Numata looks like he was mad at having no hits in the previous game and sure took it out on Daytona pitchers yesterday.
Kilome had an interesting 1st inning. He starts out with 2 BBs and 3 hits, 4 SBs before the first out is made. He gets the next two guys on Ks and then throws 2 wild pitches and then BBs the guy. Out comes the manager with the hook. I hope it wasn't something physical. The back to back Ks don't seem to signal an issue but the rest of the inning is frightening.
Pullin, heard JSalisbury say, has put himself in the 'prospect' picture with the Phillies. With many of the top prospects in the system being OFers….how that will translate in the future is definitely an unknown. He is a corner guy only which also limits him.
C. Randolph has become the player we saw last year after recovering from his injury. He is becoming that player you can trust with men in scoring position.
Kilome is up and down. He may stay in low A next year until he gets his mechanics consistent.
C is trying to lead Lwood into the playoffs. These games are all meaningful for them so watching C hit well now is a big deal.
LHV line up next year will surely be made up of the current Reading lineup. That means the 4A guys will be gone next year from LHV. Williams and Knapp will move to Philly, due to 40 man issues, and 6 current starters at Reading will move up to join JP. Who will play 3B? Keep Asche? Sweeney will definitely be removed from the 40 but maybe he'll stay. Maybe Buriss or Featherston will stick around, but not on the 40.
IMO, Williams will start at LHV next season…just as Franco did in 2015.
it is a matter of service time and year-control matter. And if he doesn't tank in April at LHV, he then gets the call up in May.
Knapp will be a valuable bench player with the Phils especially if he can play multiple positions like C, 1B and LF. and with his (switch)hitting skill, he can be a very good pinch hitter. another bench player that I'm think is Cam Perkins – who can play a decent corner OF and 1B and can hit (with pop).
A bench/reserve of Knapp C/1B/LF, Blanco INF, Perkins OF/1B, Velentin INF and Bourjous (if they want him back) or LH bat is not that bad.
I don't think Williams or Knapp starts in Philly, even if Williams gets a September call up. He needs to improve his game, and has done nothing to earn a big league spot yet. I don't think Knapp is even a consideration for the big leagues next year.
Romus, I see them trying a veteran back up at C rather than Knapp. I don't see him being ready yet for the Majors, especially as a back up C is more of a Defensive player than an Offensive one.
matt13…that could be the case…and I am sure a veteran MLB experienced catcher will be signed and invited to spring training. But if Alfaro is moved up to LHV next season, and Knapp is still there also, then one could miss out on more catching experience. Now the Phillies could do the May call up for him, as I think they will do for Williams, but then that also could depend on how they are doing at LHV at the time..
I agree that they will try to get a veteran catcher as a back-up, perhaps even signing Chooch to a reasonable ($2-4 million) one-year deal since he now appears to be perfect for the role. Knapp right now, does not profile as a back-up (not good enough defensively) and he is continuing to work on all aspects of his game. Next year is going to be awkward for Knapp with Alfaro likely to be promoted at some point, at which point Alfaro will play most of the time (like 70-80 percent of the games). I think Alfaro might spend a month or two in AA next year until it's clear what they need to do with Knapp. Usually a better prospect isn't blocked by a lesser prospect, but this is one situation where, very temporarily, the better prospect may be held back.
The Phillies can keep Ruiz simply by picking up his 2017 team option at $4.5M. My guess is that they will not do so and are comfortable with Rupp keeping the job full-time and won't pay that much for a back-up. If Ruiz is willing to resign for about $2M I could see him back next year.
As for Knapp, I think he has already been passed by Alfaro and see him being included as part of a larger deal for rotation help in 2017.
If you're trying to see if Rupp is for real, maybe put Logan Moore as his backup. If Alfaro or Knapp force themselves into #1, I'd trade Rupp and bring up the new #1. I'm actually assuming Alfaro will be that guy. Moore can play 1 or 2 days a week. He won't hurt you defensively but his bat can hurt you. Having Knapp play 1 or 2 times a week doesn't sound ideal. If he's not the big dog, either play him at AAA (or even AA) or include him in a trade package.
The most ideal thing for me would trade Rupp mid-season next year. Alfaro to #1, Knapp could be traded or even be platooned with the A-man. Moore is backup until mid-season and then either becomes backup to Alfaro or moved back to LHV.
if roster spot is not an issue, Logan Moore that fill the back up role. Good defensively and LH bat from the bench.
bellman…if Rupp continues they way he has done this year….and you want to trade him next season…..then the only types of players I would take would be the Snells, Urias, Haders or Jays of the world….that's it …nothing less.
The Phillies have a numbers problem, and I think you will see a reverse Texas or Houston trade where we will trade four prospects for 1 Major league star.
This now totals 23. Add in a definite back-up catcher and that gives you 24.
I do not have the list of the guys that need to be protected, but I guess the point is there is plenty of flexibility with some borderline 40 man guys.
Luis Garcia won't be protected – he's run out the string. Freddy Galvis will be on the 40-man. Asher is questionable in my view.
Yes on Asher being protected. He's exactly the kind of pitcher a team like the Angels would select in the rule 5 draft.
Galvis, Cordero and possibly Blanco. NO to all the "rest" on your list. Simply time to move on from them, whether they are likely to be claimed or not.
the phils will keep Cordero and probably SevGon (still young andwith his increase in velo and ability to pitch multiple innings). Luis Garcia is already in thin ice.
I can see the Phils protecting 10-12 and leave 1 spot for Rule V. The Phils will sign a veteran FA after they move Harrison to the 60-day DL. Trading a MLB ready young player is also a possibility.
Question : assuming Goeddel spends '17 in Lehigh, need he be protected on 40-man.
Normally teams protect 7-9 OFers on their 40 in November…Phillies will pushing the high end of that this year since Cozens has to be protected.
If he were born a few days later, say June 6th….it would have been next season.
Yes he needs to be protected, but can be optioned.
I was going to say, will he need to be protected? Meaning do we think other teams will grab him? It's ideal for him to be in the minors esp after seeing him this year, will another team see how he's performed this year and pass on him? I know I would if I was a GM . . . it would basically be another wasted year for him if picked, 2 in a row. I think they can get by without protecting him.
EricD….you make a very good point. You must be a poker player. And only teams in the bottom 1/3 of the league would take a chance on him at this point…do not see a contender getting involved in the Rule 5.
Now Goeddel will have probably played over the winter I am sure somewhere, and further more experience on his resume for a GM to evaluate.
And unless one of the following players is moved, he is behind them in the pecking order at sometime in 2017….Herrerra, Altherr, Quinn, Williams, and Cozens.
I'll be up front and say I have ZERO idea of the rules (as far as options, DFA, etc) outside of the basics . . . but can get he optioned down to AAA after the season without having to pass thru others teams? I thought that you can only be claimed if you have exhausted your options. Again i'm not 100% sure of these rules so I could be totally wrong.
Never mind I just realized that in order to "not protect him" he would need to be removed from the 40 man thus making him open for other teams to put a claim in on him, correct?
I believe Morton's contract has a mutual option for 2017. I don't see the Phillies picking up their end.
Cole Stobbe has really begun to establish himself as a prospect. He's slammed his third homer in a week this afternoon. Malvin Matos has also hit one.
Here's a question …. The Phillies GCL team is loaded this year. Where do these guys start next season ???
Ben Pelletier and Kyle Young could start in Williamsport or even repeat GCL if they draft heavy on the college side. I thought about one or two of the pitchers starting at Lakewood, but the Phillies seem to take it slower with the young arms. Besides, that Lakewood rotation is going to be stacked already (Medina, Suarez, Romero, Irvin, and maybe Dominguez to start).
Since Llovera is already 20, maybe he's given a shot at Lakewood.
Sounds good…..you and Joe Jordan must be drinking buddies.
LWD and WIL probably employ a 6-man rotation with the 5 that you list with Falter. If Dominguez is note moved to the pen or CLW – JoJo will start for WIL Fanti, Gowdy, Llovera, Stewart and some 2017 Rule IV draftees.
Ben and Kyle will probably repeat GCL.
Is might Mo' .396 ba correct or should it be .296?
Pujols with number 24 tonight and also a double (different games off the double header). He is 3 for 3 in the second game and his average is up to .247 … He may be breaking out late in the season. He could not 30 on Lakewood … That is a pretty crazy thought!

Q: Unity animation plays twice I created a class called AnimationController, and I am having issues with it. When I press space it triggers the Jump animation in the Animator but it it plays twice. I can not figure out why it is doing this. What is a better way to deal with this?
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

[RequireComponent(typeof(Animator))]
public class AnimationController : MonoBehaviour {

    Animator animator;
    AnimatorStateInfo baseLayer;

    void Start() {
        animator = GetComponent<Animator>();
        baseLayer = animator.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo(0);
    }

    void Update () {
        if(Input.GetButton("Jump") && !baseLayer.IsName("Jump")) {
            animator.SetTrigger("Jump");
        }

    }
}

A: I'm very new to Unity, but I suspect that this is because you're using GetButton instead of GetButtonDown or GetButtonUp.
From the documentation, for GetButton:

Returns true while the virtual button identified by buttonName is held down.

So, if you're holding the spacebar for two frames (even though you've pressed it once, the physical action takes longer than one frame) then it will fire twice. If you kept it held down for longer than that, it would keep firing.
If you use GetButtonDown or GetButtonUp  instead, it should only fire once, for the exact frame where the press is registered.

Returns true during the frame the user pressed down the virtual button identified by buttonName.

TO HELP SOMEONE IS TO EMPOWER THEM
When Melissa Wong stepped into Law School in California about a decade ago, she envisioned herself working in a private or government firm, never for a non-profit.
But that didn't happen. After graduation, she found herself back in Hawaii and without a clue which path to take. A friend suggested applying at Legal Aid. It was an easy decision for Melissa, having interned here as a Summer Law Clerk.
"What I do is very rewarding and meaningful. I'm glad I followed my friend's suggestion. I'm grateful that God had a different path for me," shares Melissa, now the Senior Staff Attorney in the Public Benefits Department at Legal Aid.
"I know that every day I come to work I can have a big impact and make a difference in someone's life."
That someone could be a jobless father, a food-insecure mother, an abused child, a financially strapped kupuna, or a homeless family.
Thousands of people seek Legal Aid's services every year. Melissa directly supports families get back on their feet and those who face barriers to obtaining the social service benefits they need to help themselves.
It has been five years since she started; Melissa's passion to help has not wavered. She is a staunch advocate for education, constantly encouraging her clients to be pro-active.
"I try to empower them that they could make a difference especially if they experienced injustice," says Melissa. "They have a powerful voice."
One client that stands out is a woman who has been claiming social security benefits since 2017. Her physical and mental a disability would certainly qualify her for social security, but she kept getting denied. Melissa stayed with her, appeal after appeal, until they were granted a hearing. In July this year, after four years, the woman finally got approved.
"We both cried when we found out," says Melissa.
This September, Melissa won another appeal for a client whose GA benefits were terminated by the Department of Human Services. DHS had refused to qualify her based on her physical or mental disability. Melissa strongly argued for the case, and they won.
With these success stories, and many more, Melissa admits she couldn't see herself working anywhere else. She loves her work and the clients that she serves.
"When I come home after a day's work, I feel satisfied. There's a special satisfaction you feel knowing that you helped someone."
meeting a bigger need because of covid
The spam musubi Shannon Clark receives from a friend who owns a Japanese grocery store is one of the highlights of her day. She would eat all three at once, licking her fingers with a satisfied smile.
Eating spam musubi shouldn't be that unusual except Shannon lives in Chicago where it's almost a delicacy. So when Shannon eats, she eats with gusto, satisfying her taste buds and nostalgia.
"I love Chicago, but Hawaii is where my loyalty and heart remain," says Shannon, a Hawaii-born wahine who found her niche in the city as a data privacy lawyer. "My family has been in Hawaii for a long time. Hawaii always feels like home."
Shannon donating to Legal Aid Society was like eating spam musubi – it satisfied her passion to help the less advantaged and brought back memories of the summer of 1994 when she interned as a law clerk while a student at the Indiana University School of Law.
"Having worked with Legal Aid, I have confidence in their mission," says Shannon. "I have a lot of respect for the staff because what they do takes a lot of commitment. The people I worked with were dedicated and good at what they were doing."
With the immersive clerkship, Shannon gained valuable experience learning from lawyer mentors and paralegals, going to court, dealing with the practical aspect of client needs, and developing her research skills. Of course, she was also happy to be back in Hawaii with family and friends.
"I see a big need especially because of COVID and so many people being out of work," she says about the current pandemic. "One of the experiences I had when I worked with Legal Aid was the work with housing and Social Security benefits. And because COVID has unfortunately shifted the imbalance a little more, there would be an even more pressing need."
Shannon meets this need by donating to different charities every year, especially choosing to support organizations that provide legal services to the underserved.
"Every little bit helps. And collectively, we can make a difference."
Many families need legal services and do not have the financial means to access justice. Join Shannon and the rest of us in helping them recover from the effects of the pandemic.

My research focuses on behavioral economics. My current work reflects my broad interests in both experiments and theory and covers different aspects of decision making under risk and uncertainty. A common theme in my papers is that people do not understand probabilities and risks well, and therefore they neither insure themselves nor take preventive measures optimally.
When risk perception gets in the way: Probability weighting and underprevention.
(with Aurélien Baillon, Han Bleichrodt, Johannes Jaspersen, and Richard Peter)
Operations Research (July 2020)
Personal decisions about health hazards are the main cause of impaired health and premature death. People smoke and eat too much and exercise too little. The lack of preventive efforts is surprising given their proven effectiveness. Arrow's (1963) classical paper suggested that moral hazard might be a reason for underprevention but Ehrlich and Becker (1972) challenged this explanation. In this paper, we show that underprevention might be caused by misperceived probabilities. We derive when and how probability weighting gets in the way of prevention by blurring its benefits. We use a general model of prevention, encompassing several special cases from the literature. We also show how perceived ambiguity makes the problem of underprevention even worse by amplifying the effect of probability weighting.
Informing, simulating experience, or both: A field experiment on phishing risks.
(with Aurélien Baillon, Jeroen de Bruin, Bram van Dijk, and Evelien van de Veer)
PloS one (December 2019)
Cybersecurity cannot be ensured with mere technical solutions. Hackers often use fraudulent emails to simply ask people for their password to breach into organizations. This technique, called phishing, is a major threat for many organizations. A typical prevention measure is to inform employees but is there a better way to reduce phishing risks? Experience and feedback have often been claimed to be effective in helping people make better decisions. In a large field experiment involving more than 10,000 employees of a Dutch ministry, we tested the effect of information provision, simulated experience, and their combination to reduce the risks of falling into a phishing attack. Both approaches substantially reduced the proportion of employees giving away their password. Combining both interventions did not have a larger impact.
Zooming in on ambiguity attitudes.
(with Aurélien Baillon)
International Economic Review (November 2018)
Empirical studies of ambiguity attitudes to date have focused on events of moderate likelihood. Extrapolation to rare events requires caution. In an Ellsberg-like experiment with very unlikely events, we measured ambiguity attitudes with neither assumptions on subjects' beliefs nor restrictions to specific ambiguity models. Very unlikely events were overweighted, being weighted more strongly in isolation than when part of larger events. Using latent profile analysis, we classified the subjects in terms of deviations from ambiguity neutrality. One third behaved close to ambiguity neutrality. The others exhibited overweighting of rare events. Such behavior can lead to money-pump situations.
Ambiguity attitudes in sexual context
This paper aims at studying whether ambiguity attitudes differ in the presence of a sexual context. In an experiment I used sexual context in the source of uncertainty, in the outcome and in the combination of both. Measuring ambiguity attitudes with the aversion and insensitivity indices developed by Baillon et al. (2018), the results show that people are ambiguity seeking and ambiguity insensitive in the absence of sexual context. Ambiguity seeking behavior is robust to presence of sexual context in the source and/or outcome. Ambiguity insensitivity, on the other hand, is strongest when the sexual context appears in a natural source with real-life events. When the outcome is sexual and the source is artificially created in the lab, however, people get closer to neutrality and insensitivity disappears. The results suggest that sexual context matters, even for non-sexual decisions.

The Media's Partisan 'Domestic Spying' Fight
L. Brent Bozell III
The debate over the propriety of intelligence-gathering by the Bush administration is complicated, and the programs themselves can lose their secrecy (and effectiveness) the more they are debated. The media aren't monitoring the debate. They started the fight by blowing the lid off the NSA activity in the New York Times, and they're pushing the fight day and night, clearly coming down against Bush, that arrogantly unconstitutional rogue.
When given a choice between more information about our intelligence-gathering methods and less safety, or less information about our intelligence-gathering and more safety, which do the public choose? The public tends to prefer more safety. The media prefer more information. And the media would prefer the public believe it agrees with them, even if it has to cook a few surveys to establish that canard.
A recent CBS News/New York Times poll brilliantly illlustrated how the public shifts sides on this question depending on how the question is framed. First question: "In order to reduce the threat of terrorism, would you be willing or not willing to allow government agencies to monitor the telephone calls and e-mails of ordinary Americans on a regular basis?"
"Ordinary Americans"?! The only Americans being tapped would be those suspected of helping wage war on America — hardly "ordinary Americans." Who could support secret government surveillance of ordinary Americans? It's not surprising that this idea was rejected: 70 percent say they're not willing to allow that, and only 28 percent say yes.
Then the CBS/Times pollsters changed the wording to be much more precise in who is being monitored: "In order to reduce the threat of terrorism, would you be willing or not willing to allow government agencies to monitor the telephone calls and e-mails of Americans that the government is suspicious of?" When the targets are suspected terrorists or sympathizers, the poll numbers completely flipped: 68 percent support monitoring them, and only 29 percent say no.
Now consider that according to the CBS/New York Times pollsters, President Bush has a 42 percent job approval rating, and a 52 percent approval rating in fighting terrorism. It's shocking to see that almost 70 percent– including a big chunk of people who aren't wild about Bush — support keeping electronic tabs on our enemies.
It's also somewhat shocking that our supposed accuracy-lauding media have preferred the first, more inaccurate phrasing — spying on "ordinary Americans" — over the second phrasing about terrorist suspects. In an eye-opening study of the 69 stories on the last seven weeks of ABC, CBS, and NBC evening-news coverage, Rich Noyes of the Media Research Center found that the TV reporters described who was being monitored.
Most correspondents in those stories portrayed the NSA as casting a wide net, targeting "Americans" or "U.S. citizens" (53, or 40 percent), or used terms such as "domestic" or "communications inside the U.S." (60, or 45 percent). ABC's Dan Harris even began on Dec. 24 by hyping "the spying was much more widespread, with millions of calls and e-mails tracked 52; perhaps even yours."
Perhaps — if you've got al Qaeda on your cell-phone's speed-dial.
By contrast, only about a sixth of these descriptions (21, or 16 percent) stated that the government was focused on persons contacting suspected terrorists (12) or the suspected terrorists themselves (nine). For example, NBC's Pete Williams described monitoring of "suspected al-Qaeda members" on Dec. 29.
There are more findings. Fully 83 percent of network stories suggested the NSA program was illegal, or legally questionable. Reporters framed the story as the government violating "civil liberties" in 42 percent of stories, but the NSA program's role in the war on terror surfaced in only seven stories (10 percent). The supposed nonpartisan legal experts quoted on the ethics or legality of the NSA program were a slanted cast: 30 (or 56 percent) condemned the program, while only four (seven percent) found the program justifiable, an eight-to-one disparity.
One aspect of the story was almost completely ignored by TV reporters: the leak of classified information to the New York Times. Only five network stories focused on the leak probe, and those five mostly painted it as an act of retribution from an enraged Bush administration. And you certainly couldn't expect a New York Times poll on the propriety of the New York Times.
In April 1995, after the Oklahoma City bombing, President Clinton called for more agents to investigate domestic terror suspects, and more power to infiltrate terrorist plots and examine suspects' "phone, hotel, and credit card records," as CBS explained at the time. CBS didn't shriek about "domestic spying" or commission a poll then questioning Clinton's commitment to civil liberties. They noted Clinton's handling of Oklahoma City "sent his approval ratings soaring."
This story is extremely politicized. Americans can't trust a liberal media, so partisan in this debate, to tell it to them straight.

Although there may appear to be a vast array of life insurance policy types available, they all consist of one of two basic forms: Permanent insurance and Term insurance. As the names imply, permanent insurance is permanent (for life) and term insurance is temporary. Most people require a combination of the two types to fit their needs. Examples of permanent needs are funeral expenses, survivors' income, taxes at death on capital gains, taxation of RRSPs and RRIFs and charitable bequests. Examples of temporary needs are mortgages, children's education and business loans.
Lifetime Term 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, & Term to Age 80 - These plans consist of 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30-year Renewable & Convertible Term Insurance and Term to Age 80 Renewable & Convertible Insurance. The sum insured is level and all premiums are guaranteed. Lifetime Term 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30 can be renewed until age 100 of the life insured, after which the insurance coverage continues for life with no additional premiums. Lifetime Term to Age 80 has premiums that remain level until age 80. Insurance can then be renewed until age 100 of the life insured, after which the insurance coverage continues for life with no additional premiums. Lifetime Term plans can also be layered by allowing a base plan and up to four Term Riders of various initial term lengths within a single policy.
Preferred Underwriting of Lifetime Term - With today's emphasis on healthy lifestyles, Lifetime Term offers a greater variety of lifestyle categories. Wawanesa Life rewards healthy lifestyles with lower premiums. Preferred Underwriting classes available for Lifetime Term include three nonsmoker classes and two smoker classes.

E. coli Patient Talks About Near-Death Experience
Patty Timko says home has never looked better. The 20 year old from Fairview Heights finally left the hospital Monday following a near-fatal bout with E. coli.
Patty contracted the bacteria after eating a steak burrito at Habaneros-a Mexican restaurant in the St. Clair Square food court. Patty spent 3 weeks at Barnes-Jewish Hospital where, among other things, her kidneys failed.
She credits a strong support system for helping her pull through. "I had friends and family that were there with me and there was just so much support that I personally never knew I would have had. There's so much-so much to be thankful for."
Five other customers at Habaneros contracted E. coli but their symptoms were not life threatening. Monday afternoon the St. Clair County Health Department authorized the restaurant to reopen-at this point the source of the bacteria has not been identified.

I laugh. "You said I wasn't your type."
"I lied. You're more than my type."
"You seemed very convincing."
"I'm an actor, Pins. I'm paid to be convincing."
"So, how will I actually know when you're telling me the truth or lying?" I'm teasing, but his face instantly turns serious, surprising me.
"Because I would never lie to you. You're far too important to me for me to ever do anything to fuck this up."
My own secret thumps me hard in the chest. I swallow, my mouth suddenly dry. "I know," I whisper. "I was just teasing."
"Sorry." He grabs ahold of my hand and tugs on it. "I just…after what happened with Cain…I just…I would never do that to you."
"I know you wouldn't. And I would never cheat on you. You know that, right?"
He looks at me for a long moment. "I know, babe. I trust you."
I take a sip of wine.
Vaughn gets a strawberry and puts it in his mouth, biting into it. Some of the juice runs down his lip. He catches it with his tongue. "So, tell me about this ex-boyfriend."
"The ex who Millie slept with."
"Oh, Michael."
"Sounds like a prick."
I laugh. "He is. A prick who was a drug dealer, which I found out about after six months of dating him. The second I found out, I dumped his sorry ass."
"How did you find out that he was dealing?"
"I was working on a show, and an actor told me to thank Michael for the coke and that it was good shit, that'd he be telling all his buddies about him."
"Sounds like a charmer."
"Oh, yeah, a real charmer."
"You've really gone up in the world with me, Pins."
I glance at him, and he's grinning.
"I know, right? But then there wasn't exactly anywhere for me to go but up after Michael."
His brow furrows. "I don't know if that was actually a compliment or not."
"It was. Well…a backhanded compliment—argh!"
I squeal as he dives on me. Taking me to my back, he pins my hands over my head.
"Your smart mouth is going to get you in trouble one of these days, Charlotte Michaels. Hey, do you realize you've got the same surname as your douche ex's first name?"
"Of course I realized." I laugh.
"If you'd married him, you could've made him change his surname to yours, so he'd have been called Michael Michaels."
"You're a fucking comedian, West. And why exactly are you talking about me marrying another man? My ex, to be precise."
"I have no clue." He frowns. "The thought actually makes me want to punch a hole in that tree over there."
"You'd have to be pretty strong to punch a hole in a tree. Like Hulk strong."
"You're killing the romantic in my words."
"Sorry." I bite the smile on my lips, but I can't stop the laugh that comes out.
"You suck." He frowns, climbing off me, sitting down.
I sit up next to him. "I do suck. Very well, according to you."
He slides a grin at me. "You do have a mouth like a vacuum."
"Was that another one of your romantic statements?"
"Uh, well, thanks."
He laughs. "You're welcome."
We're quiet for a moment as we stare out over the view. Vaughn brings his knees up and links his arms around them.
"Can I ask you something?" I say.
He turns his head, resting his chin on his shoulder. "Shoot."
"Does it, um, bother you that I dated someone who was a drug dealer?" I'm asking to test the water now that he knows. I want to know what he's willing to tolerate. "I mean, if we went public and the press were to find out, would it bother you?"
"What about my past? My father murdering my mom. My father being in prison. If the press found out, they would have a field day."
"The only thing I would be worried about is you." He drops his arms and turns around to face me, putting his legs on either side of me. He cups my cheek, turning my face to him. "Is that why you want to still keep us a secret?"
I glance away, looking down.
Maybe. Partly. Not really.
Tell him the truth, Charly.
He slides his fingers under my chin, lifting, forcing my eyes up. "Pins, what happened…you had no control over. You were a kid. I don't care what the press has to say about it. Nothing about you could ever embarrass me. You're amazing. I'm crazy about you."
I stare back at him, my heart beating with love and fear and everything else that I feel for him.
I lean forward and press my lips to his. He moans a sound that hits me straight between my legs. His hand moves from my face to cup the nape of my neck. He shifts in closer, deepening the kiss, taking control.
And, as it always does with Vaughn and me, things get heated fast, and I'm straddling his lap, pressing myself up against him.
And I tell myself that I don't need to tell him now, that there's no rush. And Sasha's wedding is tomorrow. I don't want to do anything to spoil it for him. He might be okay with what I have to tell him, but just to be sure, I'll wait.

Asian American Writing
An Anthology of Asian American Writing
AA Resources
edlinforpresident.com
Posted on May 1, 2016 by Val Katagiri
Contributed by Special Guest Author, Ed Lin
You may or may not know this, but I will never be the President of the United States of America.
I never made the right connections at college. I never worked the right summer jobs or ingratiated myself with the right people. I never showed that I cared.
The main reason why my site is "www.edlinforpresident.com" is that "www.edlin.com" was taken by a woman whose last name is my entire name. Also, I like the upbeat, optimistic "for president" angle. It's perennially optimistic, as am I.
I actually did run for student council and club positions, including president, but the only position I ever won was president of the high-school German club, and that was only because voting was compulsory (it was German, after all) and my opponent was the top student and widely despised for being so. There were no debates, speeches or campaigns. It was just, check this or that. Well, if anything, it was a win for my college application.
As ridiculous as that election was, the contest we are witnessing now stretches the limits of hyperbole to describe. On top of all the trumpeting, this is the cycle that saw an Asian Pacific American at the debates. Undercard, yeah, but some of his highlights still made the news.
Unlike me, Bobby Jindal has an impressive resume, the kind the CEO of the United States should have. Led the Republicans group at Brown, check. Harvard Medical School and Yale Law School acceptances, check. Baptized as a Catholic, check. Interned with a U.S. Representative, check. Climbing up through "the system," serving in Louisiana's state government, becoming a U.S. Representative and then capturing Louisiana's governorship, boom.
Despite all that, he fell far short in his Presidential run. Why? That affected Southern accent (that he didn't have 20 years ago) for one thing. His race was another. The Left pummeled him for being the same shade of brown as the undocumented immigrants he railed against. The right wing judged him to be too geeky. Racists across the spectrum, of which there were many and who weren't going to give him a chance, anyway, left comments such as "ISIS training camp" on a photo of a Jindal family hunting trip.
In addition, his second term as Louisiana's governor was as hapless as the worst aspects of Jimmy Carter's term. In fact, The Economist noted that Jindal's approval rating in Louisiana had slipped to 32% last May – a breathtaking 10 percentage points lower than President Obama's rating in that anti-Obama state.
What will it take to get an Asian Pacific American President? As far as circumstances are concerned, the economy will have to be booming, so sentiment and political rhetoric against job-stealin' Asia subsides. As for the candidate in particular, she will have to be someone who has served the country (to remove any doubts about loyalty and patriotism) and who is charming even when delivering unpleasant truths. Tammy Duckworth combined with Aziz Ansari. Eric Shinseki melded with Russell Peters.
We're talking about pretty much anybody but me. That's all right. I'd rather be writing than President, anyway. I zone out during meetings. I don't need your vote, but please remember, I do need your support. Read more books. Thank you.

China and deflation
Remember the big picture
Fretting over trade surpluses misses the forest for the trees
by R.A. | WASHINGTON
MARTIN WOLF became the latest prominent economics writer to warn of the dangers of China's current economic policy in a widely hailed column published on Tuesday. And I'm afraid that I still struggle to understand the point of view of those declaring that China is among the great villians of the current economic situation.
Begin with Mr Wolf's title: "China and Germany unite to impose global deflation". I understand that the world is a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately place, but this strikes me as utterly absurd. Let's rewind just a bit. Last year, the global economy shrank 0.8%. America's economy declined by 2.5%, the euro area's by 3.9%, and long-time net exporter Japan's by an ugly 5.3%. The only thing preventing an even deeper decline in world output was strength in just a handful of emerging markets. In particular, India continued to grow, at 5.6%. And China acted as the world's flywheel, growing at an 8.7% pace. This was not an accident. China acted earlier and more aggressively to forestall a serious downturn than any other large economy. It engaged in massive fiscal and monetary stimulus, turned open the lending spigots, and yes, ceased the appreciation of the renminbi against the dollar. Of course, for much of the intense crisis period, a dollar peg meant appreciation against many of the world's currencies, and so the peg merely meant a somewhat slower strengthening of the currency.
China was not alone in its stimulative efforts. America passed a stimulus as large, and the Fed joined with the Bank of England to engage in stimulative unconventional monetary policy. Other developed nations also chipped in; Germany's total stimulus, including automatic stabilisers, was the largest among big European economies other than Spain. But there can be no question that the bottoming out of the global economy in early 2009, and the subsequent turnaround in financial markets and in commodity prices, was substantially due to Chinese growth. Impose deflation? China delivered the world from deflation.
But that was then, right? Now that advanced economies are expected to turn in a 2.1% growth performance in 2010, China's return to double-digit growth, and the resulting upward pressure that places on prices for a range of goods and resources, can be ignored.
Of Germany, Mr Wolf writes:
The core of Mr Schäuble's argument was not about the mooted European Monetary Fund, which could not, even if agreed and implemented, alter the pressures created by the huge macroeconomic imbalances within the eurozone. His central ideas are: combining emergency aid for countries running excessive fiscal deficits with fierce penalties; suspending voting rights of badly behaving members within the eurogroup; and allowing a member to exit the monetary union, while remaining inside the European Union. Suddenly, the eurozone is not so irrevocable: Germany has said so.
Three points can be drawn from this démarche from Europe's most powerful country: first, it will have an overwhelmingly deflationary impact; second, it is unworkable; and, third, it might pave the way for Germany's exit from the eurozone.
Mr Wolf is correct that Germany's reluctance to intervene with Greece is troubling, and that the exit from the euro zone of either Greece or Germany (which would mean the end of the euro) would be devastating to the global economy. But there is little sign that this is what Germany actually wants. What there is is an indication that Germany wants to foist as much of the cost of a bail-out of southern Europe onto others. That will likely prove costlier to the global economy than an alternative in which Greece isn't forced into an austerity plan, but that's not really an option. If Greece were outside the euro, it would face austerity or default. If Greece goes to the IMF, it would be facing austerity. And the costs of Greek austerity, while unfortunate, are nothing like the deflation nightmare that would result from a break-up of the euro. The Greek economy, let's remember, is pretty small.
Meanwhile, of China, he says:
If I understand China's declared position correctly, it wants the US to deflate itself into competitiveness, instead, via fiscal and monetary contraction and, presumably, falling domestic prices. That would be dreadful for the US. But it would be dreadful for China and the rest of the world, too. It is also not going to happen. China surely knows that.
Yes! China surely knows that! And other Chinese officials have said as much and recently.
I agree with Paul Krugman and Mr Wolf that actions taken by both Germany and China have been unfortunate. The world would be better off if Germany went ahead and committed to a deal on Greece and if China resumed its RMB appreciation. But I also understand the domestic political constraints those actors face—constraints which suggest that other powers are unlikely to be able to force action. And I believe that both Germany and China recognise what they must eventually do and are prepared to do it.
And I think that the extremely narrow focus on these particular issues, and the increasing willingness to draw a line in the sand over them, is misguided and troubling. Is the RMB peg really the biggest impediment to global recovery? What about economic policy in Japan? What about the conservatism of the ECB? What about the dysfunctional political system in America, where deficit politics is the order of the day while unemployment is near 10%?
There's nothing wrong with pointing out how Germany and China can do better. But urging leaders to pick a fight over the issue of trade surpluses is not going to be helpful.

RUC supports local rugby with new gym
We just love our local sport at The RUC!
We currently support several sporting groups including local cricket, rugby, touch football and hockey. There are about a dozen clubs that use The RUC function and meeting rooms for their presentations, dinners and meetings, and we also financially support many of the ACT's local sporting clubs.
In fact, last year alone, we contributed almost $45,000 in community support, of which sport was a major recipient. We are a community club and these proceeds directly contribute to improving the community.
Of course, the sport of lawn bowls is pivotal for our club but, did you know that we've even helped build a gym for one local rugby team? We figured, if we build it, they will come. And these guys really needed it.
The Owl's Rugby Club plays its games just down the road at the ANU and use the RUC to meet and socialise. The RUC had an unused building which was previously the old bowls clubhouse in the 1960s. We knew it would make a perfect gym for the Rugby teams to improve their strength and conditioning.
Creating the gym for the Owls was a combined effort. We donated the building space, the gym equipment was donated by various sources, and the creation of the new gym was a hands-on effort by the RU, and Owls players and volunteers. Walls were removed, plumbing and electrical were installed and the equipment was set up.
Now the gym is used every day by rugby players from both the men's and women's teams. All players can train in a sound, safe environment, using quality equipment close to their home ground. And as a bonus, they can also pop into The RUC for a hearty meal and a quick drink post training session. Winning!

Texas Teachers Sought for Bilingual, Gifted Training
By Mary Ann Zehr — November 20, 2002 2 min read
With the help of a $1.5 million federal grant, Southern Methodist University in Dallas is starting an unusual scholarship program that will train teachers in both bilingual education and gifted education.
Experts in gifted education say they do not know of any other university that formally offers the same combination of teacher preparation. They hope the new program will give teachers better tools to help identify gifted and talented students who are learning English. They also would like to see it replicated.
"It's an absolutely excellent idea," said Peter D. Rosenstein, the executive director of the Washington-based National Association for Gifted Children. "One of the clear issues is that it's always harder to identify bilingual youngsters for gifted and talented programs. Very often, their language barrier prevents regular methods from identifying these children."
"There's good work going on in this area, but it's frustrating how slow it is," added Jay A. McIntire, the executive director of the Texas Association for the Gifted and Talented. "Theoretically speaking, giftedness should occur equally in all segments of the population."
Texas is one of at least 29 states that require schools to provide programs for students who are deemed gifted and talented. The federal government, which mandates that schools provide special education, lets states determine whether to require gifted and talented education.

Pulte, the director of teacher-training programs in bilingual education at Southern Methodist, said he got the idea to create the dual-emphasis scholarship because a local school district—the 21,600-student Grand Prairie school system—had established gifted education for students who are learning English. It also helped that the university already had separate programs in each of the specialty areas.
Teachers from six Texas districts are eligible to apply for the scholarships. Mr. Pulte received more than 100 applications for 30 scholarships that will begin in January. The university plans to provide 90 such scholarships over five years.
Scholarship recipients will complete a 36-hour master's-degree program in bilingual education, which will include six to nine hours of course credits in gifted education. Professors will also incorporate material about gifted education in other courses that are part of the special program.
The grant to Southern Methodist University was provided under Title III of the "No Child Left Behind" Act of 2001. Title III, which is the new federal law's section that authorizes programs serving English-language learners, replaced Title VII of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act.
