About the Register Data
Historical performance data for professional leagues (affiliated minor leagues, independent minor leagues, fall/winter leagues, and other international leagues) is provided by and licensed from 24-7 Baseball and Chadwick Baseball Bureau. It incorporates the work of many stalwart baseball researchers, including Cliff Blau, Art Cantu, Frank Hamilton, Reed Howard, Kevin Johnson, Bob McConnell, Jack Morris, and Ray Nemec, as well as members of the Minor Leagues Committee of the Society for American Baseball Research.
Perhaps most importantly, it builds upon the seminal work of Ed Washuta, who magnanimously provided the framework to make the whole thing possible.
Minor league Total Zone (Rctch&Rtz, 2005-2009) data provided by Baseballprojection.com and Minorleaguesplits.com.
About the Negro League Data
This data comes from two sources. 1) The Negro Leagues Researchers and Authors Group put together by the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum thanks to a grant provided by Major League Baseball. 2) Gary Ashwill and his collaborators.
The Hall of Fame data is found for the years 1920-1948 and the Ashwill data is found from 1904-1919. Many statistics are incomplete due to ongoing research and/or limitations in published sources, so please be assured that we are aware there are issues with the data and will continue to work with our data providers to improve the data that appears here.
The Hall of Fame dataset
This data is constructed from the best available information as provided by Larry Lester, Wayne Stivers and Dick Clark of the Negro Leagues Researchers and Authors Group. It contains data culled from newspaper boxscores, covering league sanctioned games from 1920 to 1948, which was produced for a study sponsored by Major League Baseball and the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. It reflects totals as compiled by the NLRAG up to 2006. As new credible information is continually unearthed, these numbers will continue to change.
Baseball-Reference and the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum would like to acknowledge Major League Baseball for funding this study, along with the Negro Leagues Researchers and Authors Group for their extensive efforts to collect the raw data and construct the most comprehensive database of Negro Leagues Baseball statistics. Under the direction of Larry Lester, Wayne Stivers and Dick Clark, this database is the largest dataset ever made publically available and we wish to express our gratitude for all their efforts to help rebuild this lost statistical history.
The Ashwill Negro Leagues Database
Playing statistics and biographical data on the Negro leagues (all pre-1920) and early Latin American professional baseball is licensed from and provided by the Negro Leagues Database, a project organized by Gary Ashwill with the participation of many historians of Negro league and Latin American baseball.
The database is a work in progress, and will include more seasons as development continues. It appears in its original form at Seamheads.com.
Playing statistics and biographical data for this portion of our dataset (The Negro Leagues Database) are all copyright 2013 by Gary Ashwill. All rights reserved.
Note that our records are missing thousands of players who played in the Negro Leagues for minor league teams, independent teams, barnstorming teams or even Negro major league teams. We will bring their records to light as soon as suitable records are available for those players.

Is Acceleron Pharma Inc (XLRN) A Good Stock To Buy?
Nina Todic
Insider Monkey• December 12, 2018
Is Acceleron Pharma Inc (NASDAQ:XLRN) a good bet right now? We like to analyze hedge fund sentiment before doing days of in-depth research. We do so because hedge funds and other elite investors have numerous Ivy league graduates, expert network advisers, and supply chain tipsters working or consulting for them. There is not a shortage of news stories covering failed hedge fund investments and it is a fact that hedge funds' picks don't beat the market 100% of the time, but their consensus picks have historically done very well and have outperformed the market after adjusting for risk.
Is Acceleron Pharma Inc (NASDAQ:XLRN) a buy, sell, or hold? The smart money is taking an optimistic view. The number of bullish hedge fund bets increased by 3 in recent months. Our calculations also showed that xlrn isn't among the 30 most popular stocks among hedge funds. XLRN was in 27 hedge funds' portfolios at the end of September. There were 24 hedge funds in our database with XLRN holdings at the end of the previous quarter.
Hedge funds' reputation as shrewd investors has been tarnished in the last decade as their hedged returns couldn't keep up with the unhedged returns of the market indices. Our research has shown that hedge funds' large-cap stock picks indeed failed to beat the market between 1999 and 2016. However, we were able to identify in advance a select group of hedge fund holdings that outperformed the market by 18 percentage points since May 2014 through December 3, 2018 (see the details here). We were also able to identify in advance a select group of hedge fund holdings that'll significantly underperform the market. We have been tracking and sharing the list of these stocks since February 2017 and they lost 24% through December 3, 2018. That's why we believe hedge fund sentiment is an extremely useful indicator that investors should pay attention to.
FARALLON CAPITAL
We're going to review the latest hedge fund action surrounding Acceleron Pharma Inc (NASDAQ:XLRN).
What have hedge funds been doing with Acceleron Pharma Inc (NASDAQ:XLRN)?
At Q3's end, a total of 27 of the hedge funds tracked by Insider Monkey were long this stock, a change of 13% from the previous quarter. Below, you can check out the change in hedge fund sentiment towards XLRN over the last 13 quarters. So, let's see which hedge funds were among the top holders of the stock and which hedge funds were making big moves.
No of Hedge Funds with XLRN Positions
The largest stake in Acceleron Pharma Inc (NASDAQ:XLRN) was held by Farallon Capital, which reported holding $105.3 million worth of stock at the end of September. It was followed by Perceptive Advisors with a $87.5 million position. Other investors bullish on the company included Deerfield Management, Great Point Partners, and Hillhouse Capital Management.
As aggregate interest increased, key hedge funds have jumped into Acceleron Pharma Inc (NASDAQ:XLRN) headfirst. Alkeon Capital Management, managed by Panayotis Takis Sparaggis, established the most valuable position in Acceleron Pharma Inc (NASDAQ:XLRN). Alkeon Capital Management had $15.6 million invested in the company at the end of the quarter. Steve Cohen's Point72 Asset Management also made a $0.7 million investment in the stock during the quarter. The other funds with brand new XLRN positions are Nick Thakore's Diametric Capital, Michael Platt and William Reeves's BlueCrest Capital Mgmt., and Israel Englander's Millennium Management.
Let's now review hedge fund activity in other stocks - not necessarily in the same industry as Acceleron Pharma Inc (NASDAQ:XLRN) but similarly valued. These stocks are Nextera Energy Partners LP (NYSE:NEP), Supernus Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:SUPN), AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc (NYSE:AMC), and Crestwood Equity Partners LP (NYSE:CEQP). This group of stocks' market caps are similar to XLRN's market cap.
[table] Ticker, No of HFs with positions, Total Value of HF Positions (x1000), Change in HF Position NEP,12,56818,5 SUPN,14,59831,-3 AMC,21,159127,7 CEQP,4,35008,-2 Average,12.75,77696,1.75 [/table]
View table here if you experience formatting issues.
As you can see these stocks had an average of 12.75 hedge funds with bullish positions and the average amount invested in these stocks was $78 million. That figure was $441 million in XLRN's case. AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc (NYSE:AMC) is the most popular stock in this table. On the other hand Crestwood Equity Partners LP (NYSE:CEQP) is the least popular one with only 4 bullish hedge fund positions. Compared to these stocks Acceleron Pharma Inc (NASDAQ:XLRN) is more popular among hedge funds. Considering that hedge funds are fond of this stock in relation to its market cap peers, it may be a good idea to analyze it in detail and potentially include it in your portfolio.

Krip-Hop Nation 10th year Anniversary CD
2017 Marks the 10th year for the Krip-Hop Nation.
Founder Leroy Moore has worked very hard for 10 years to get where he is today with the movement of the krip-hop nation. And he has put together a brand new album titled
THE BEST OF THE KRIP-HOP NATION – with special guest on this album D.M.C. of RUN D.M.C and Wonder Mike of The Sugar Hill Gang, plus members of the Krip-Hop Nation.
This new album is a double CD with 24 tracks, With Hip-Hope and Poetry.
Krip-Hop Nation 10th year Anniversary CD..

You can read the albums press release below…
It's 2017 Happy Birthday Krip-Hop Nation! On our tenth anniversary, Krip-Hop Nation has grown and pushed itself by searching for more women with disabilities, like Kalyn Heffernan of Wheelchhair Sports Camp, Toni Hickman and Annjewelz, collaborating with DIP-HOP, Deaf Hip-Hop artists like Pinz-D and going deeper with our relationships with non-disabled Hip-Hop artists who have supported Krip-Hop from the beginning like C.R.I.$.I.$. from Zambia, Africa, Latino Hip-Hop Bay Area group, Brown Buffalo, Wonder Mike from Sugar Hill Gang and more. This CD has twenty-three songs some have been on Krip-Hop CDs but many are new members of Krip-Hop Nation or first time to be on a Krip-Hop project. We also have hottest DJs from Italy to the California, USA and the legendary DMC from Run-DMC! As we all know Hip-Hop stripped down is poetry so this why we include Black Deaf poet, Joy Elan
I like to give thanks to DJ Quad of 5th Battalion in LA who co/produce this CD with me and all the artists who have stuck around and really supported Krip-Hop Nation and the original founders like Keith Jones, Rob Da' Noize Temple, Binki Wio and Preechman. I hope Krip-Hop Nation live beyond me for the nextt generation.
In 2007, Krip-Hop Nation was born with our Vol.1 Mixtape with Hip-Hop artists with disabilities all over the world. Since that day Krip-Hop Nation lived up to our tag line, 'Krip-Hop is more than music.' Krip-Hop Nation is an international network of Hip-Hop & other musicians with disabilities with a few chapters around the world what we call Mcees With Disabilities (MWD) in Germany, UK, Canada, & Africa. Krip-Hop is a community as well as style of music, an artistic space where people with disabilities can speak out and speak back to the social structures that exclude people based on disability, race, sexuality, and a host of other marginalized identities.
Why Krip-Hop Nation: Musicians with disabilities have always been here however there has been a lack of cultural activism especially in Hip-Hop with a disability justice to not only advocate but to continue to display the talents of musicians with disabilities & at the same time advocate & celebrate our history, intersectional cultures & to politically educate ourselves & our communities locally, nationally & internationally.
When: Leroy Moore first put a spotlight on disabled Hip-Hop artists in the early 2000s when he co-produced and co-hosted a three-part series on what he dubbed "Krip-Hop" for a Berkeley, California, radio station. The series appeared on KPFA's Pushing Limits program, which focuses on news, arts, and culture from the disabled community. The series was so well-received that Moore shortly thereafter founded the Krip Hop Nation for disabled musicians
Krip-Hop's Mission is to educate the music, media industries and general public about the talents, history, rights and marketability of Hip-Hop artists and other musicians with disabilities from Blues to Hip-Hop internationally. Our bi-line is Krip-Hop is More Than Music.
Krip-Hop Nation's Main Objective is to spread awareness about the history, arts, the isms facing musicians with disabilities along with getting the musical talents of hip-hop artists with disabilities into the hands of media outlets, educators, and hip-hop, disabled and race scholars, youth, journalists and hip-hop conference coordinators. Krip-Hop Nation have put out CDs, held conferences and spoke on issues from police brutality against people with disabilities to ableism in Hip-Hop, media and in our communities.
COMPILED BY DJ Quad & Krip-Hop Nation ENJOY!

[KICKOFF]: Let's Talk Finding Deep Discounted Deals + Speaker Tom Parmentier.
What [KICKOFF]: Let's Talk Finding Deep Discounted Deals + Speaker Tom Parmentier.
Join us for our official launch meeting in Arlington with a really special guest.
For our kick off event, we're going to talk about a fan favorite topic.... Finding DEEPLY discounted deals, Marketing and Wholesaling!
We have a special guest, Tom Parmentier, cofounder Max Price Offer, and the former COO of Express Home Buyers.
TONS of young and hungry entrepreneurs are using wholesaling strategies to make money without ever buying any properties. Anyone can learn these tools and strategies to find deeply discounted deals. Lets discuss the magic behind all this, marketing effectively and to the right people. Why struggle on your own, when we can share and learn from a collective master mind.


The bones of people who lived hundreds of years ago, in a very different place than the Connecticut we know now, may lie in unmarked graves as shallow as 18 inches.
And as development spreads, these human remains are unearthed when roads, buildings, even drainage systems for athletic fields are planned for the ground where they are interred.
State Archaeologist Nicholas Bellantoni said recently that until the economy collapsed, he would be called in several times a year to investigate partial or complete skeletons disturbed by construction projects. "It has happened quite a few times, and there is a procedure, spelled out in state law, on what must take place when any remains are found," he said.
Three state laws cover the situation, all of them requiring that local police be notified. "The laws were written for Indian remains, but we use them in all cases," Bellantoni said. "Often people aren't able to tell whether the bones are from an animal or a human, and if anyone is unsure, calling the police is the best thing to do."
State's Attorney Kevin Lawlor, who oversees the Milford-Derby judicial district, said there is no statute of limitations on murder, and the police would investigate any untimely death. The site of any human remains would initially be treated as a crime scene, Lawlor said. "The bones would be brought to the medical examiner to determine forensically how old they are, and we'd know from that whether it needs to be investigated archaeologically as opposed to criminally," the prosecutor said.
Bellantoni said that most often the bones are from a European-American rather than an Indian. "It's usually a Colonial farmer who was buried in the backyard in a grave marked with a wooden cross or fieldstones.
"We know where some Indian burial grounds are, but we don't know where all the (European settlers) are. "Often they were buried on their own property, and even if there is a cemetery, bodies have been found outside of its boundaries."
The proverbial six-foot-deep grave was rarely achieved, Bellantoni said. "Remember, they were not digging with backhoes. They were using shovels, and if they hit clay or rock, they'd stop."
Remains are usually found within three feet of the surface, and human bones have been found only 18 inches under the ground, he said.
About 20 companies are on an approved list to do archaeological excavations that may involve human remains; the property owner or the town would get recommendations from Bellantoni but deal with the firms directly.
One such company is Historical Perspectives, a Westport-based firm owned by Betsy Kearns and Cece Saunders. The company did test borings on the site of a Prospect Street apartment complex, next to the old Milford Cemetery two years ago.
Developers Robert Smith and Philip Craft hired Historical Perspectives because of concerns that some remains, including those of Continental Army smallpox victims, might be on the building site, which abuts the Soldiers Monument.
Sometimes, though, the finding of human bones is a complete surprise. When workers excavated a portion of Sturges Field in Fairfield in 2006 to build an irrigation system, three nearly-intact skeletons-- two male and one female -- were dug up.
Archaeologists and historians believe that the bodies belonged to parishioners of Trinity Church, which was located on the site between 1712 and 1735. The "church yard" behind the building is where parishioners would have been buried. The land later became part of the Sturges family farm, and the headstones -- but not the bodies -- were moved to the Old Fairfield Burying Ground on Beach Road in 1881.
The family gave the farmland to the town for a park in 1946.
Belantoni supervised an extensive excavation and research project over the next two years that included DNA testing of the bones, review of land deeds, wills filed in probate court and genealogy records kept by the Fairfield Historical Society.
A memorial service using the 1662 Book of Common Prayer took place in June, 2008, at the current Trinity Church in Southport and the remains received a proper burial.
That is the ultimate goal in all such cases, Bellantoni said. "I would consult with the Native American Heritage Advisory Council on the sacred rites of burial, and if it is a European settler, we would arrange a service befitting their (likely) denomination."
Archaeological digs were done recently in Glastonbury, Stonington and Griswold; some of the remains were given a Congregational memorial service.
The skull belonging to a Continental Army soldier who died of smallpox in Milford in 1777 was reburied with full military honors last year in the First United Church of Christ, with a Roman Catholic priest, the Rev. James Cronin, conducting the service.
The skull, which was likely dug up in the 1870s when railroad tracks were laid at the edge of the Milford Cemetery, had been in the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C.
Indian remains have been found in Milford, and the area alongside Gulf Pond is a well-known burial site. Yale archaeologists led by Ed Rogers excavated the graves in the early 1940s, finding many children buried in an orientation so that they faced the setting sun. A body was unearthed during the construction of a home on nearby Gulf View Court in the 1950s, and again in 1983, as a house foundation was being dug on Old Field Lane.
Naturalist and historian Timothy Chaucer recalled that police and the state medical examiner were initially called in, "but ultimately the remains were turned over to the Paugussetts and were reinterred on their reservation in Coventry."
Although Connecticut's acidic soil causes bones to disintegrate quickly, Indian remains in the Fairfield/Milford area are unusually well preserved, archaeologists said.
"They are usually buried on shellfish middens, and the shells neutralize the acid in the soil," Chaucer said.

Des Moines Hosted First-Ever African American Officer Training
by: Roger Riley
DES MOINES, Iowa — A page of Des Moines history is also part of Black history. In 1917, a thousand African American college-educated young men came to Des Moines for the Officer Training Program. They were joined by 250 Black non-commissioned officers for training from May through October.
"Des Moines has a really proud legacy of having Fort Des Moines, which is a camp where the first Black officers for the U.S. Army were trained," said Leo Landis, curator of the State Historical Museum of Iowa.
One of the soldiers who came back after his military days was James B. Morris. He is remembered still at the State Historical Museum of Iowa.
"We do have a number of other items related to James Morris. We have his dog tags from when he served in World War I," said Landis. "We have other materials connected to his service. His identification badge. We really were grateful to the Morris family for having donated these to the State Historical Museum several years ago."
The museum also has his uniform jacket he wore in World War I.
"One of the features of the uniform of course is that the patch that these men chose to put on their jacket was the buffalo or bison patch," said Landis. "That was because in the 1870s and 1880s and 1890s, Black men were serving in the western areas were often referred to as the 'Buffalo Soldiers.'"
At the Fort Des Moines Museum, there is a large display dedicated to the Fort Des Moines Black Officers Training. There were several reasons the U.S. Army chose Des Moines for this training.
"It was established as a cavalry base, but the cavalry was deployed elsewhere, so this was essentially an empty base," said Jeff Kluever of the Fort Des Moines Museum. "Another reason was because it was far away from major metropolitan areas and potential distractions for the men who were going to train there. The third reason was because Iowa was willing to welcome them."
The Fort Des Moines Museum is paid for by donations. They get no kind of government subsidy, except a few local grants. If you would like to know more about the museum, check its Facebook page.

Ask Tom: What was the weather like for 1938 broadcast of "War of the Worlds"?
By Tom Skilling
Dear Tom,
What was the weather like in Chicago on Oct. 30, 1938, about 7 p.m.? My 101-year-old mother says she and her friends were sitting on the front porch of her father's West Side apartment building when the CBS Radio broadcast of Orson Welles' adaptation of H. G. Wells' "War of the Worlds" came on.
— Eve Brouwer
Dear Eve,
It was a cloudy, dry and seasonably mild late October Sunday evening with temperatures around 50 degrees when the nationwide broadcast of "War of the Worlds" led some Americans to believe that a Martian invasion was occurring in New York. The broadcast was quite realistic, presented as a series of news bulletins interrupting regular programming, leading to the misinterpretation.
For decades, there were stories of mass panic across the nation, but recent research has relegated them to urban legend.

U.S. environment agency urged by 21 states to toughen vehicle emissions rewrite
Source: By David Shepardson, Reuters • Posted: Tuesday, September 28, 2021
WASHINGTON, Sept 27 (Reuters) – A group of 21 state attorneys general, the District of Columbia, and several major U.S. cities urged the Biden administration to finalize significantly stricter vehicle emissions rules than it has proposed.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in August called for reversing the Trump-era loosening of vehicle emissions rules with a new plan to boost efficiency 10% in the 2023 model year and aim for a fleet average of 52 miles per gallon (mpg) by 2026.
But the states and cities want more stringent rules saying automakers have enough time to meet tougher rules.
"There is no need to wait to require further deployment of these technologies or to delay the massive economic and public health benefits of reducing these emissions," wrote the state attorneys general, led by California and joined by New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Denver and others.
"EPA must begin now to address the devastating risks of climate change and the on-going harms facing communities," they said.
Other states signing include New York, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) in separate comments also called for greater stringency, arguing the EPA's proposed standard "is too weak."
ACEEE said EPA's analysis showed "that the proposed rule will only lead to an EV market share of 8% by MY 2026."
That was too low to meet President Joe Biden's target of 50% EVs by 2030, it said in its official comments on the proposal.
General Motors said it backed the "emission reduction goals" in the EPA proposal, which it called "historically stringent" but did not weigh in EPA's request for comment on whether to hike 2026 requirements.
In March 2020, Trump's Republican administration rolled back the previous Obama administration's standards to require only 1.5% annual increases in efficiency through 2026. Obama had required 5% annual increases.
Trump's rewrite mandated 2026 fuel efficiency of just 43.3 mpg.
The EPA projects Biden's requirements will cost $150 billion to $240 billion through 2025 in higher vehicle costs, but save motorists $120 billion to $250 billion in fuel costs. They will have net benefits of $86 billion to $140 billion including other matters like improved public health and reduced pollution.
EPA said by 2050 the proposal would "reduce gasoline consumption by more than 290 million barrels" a nearly 10% reduction.
In 2020, EPA said the Trump plan would hike U.S. oil consumption by about 500,000 barrels per day.
The transportation sector is the largest U.S. source of greenhouse emissions, representing 29% of total emissions. Light-duty vehicles account for 58% of the transportation emissions.

EVA Expat Forum asked foreign professionals about their life in Finland
Jack de Bruijn, Head of ECHA's Risk Management Unit, leads on the effective implementation of the two risk management processes under REACH: restriction and authorisation. He stresses that the key to successful management of these processes is a good analysis of the best option for each chemical.
Mr de Bruijn got involved with REACH from the very beginning. After completing his studies in chemistry and PhD in computational toxicology at the University of Utrecht, The Netherlands, Mr de Bruijn joined the Dutch Ministry of the Environment and dealt with national and international chemicals policy development.
"Then after about ten years, I had the opportunity to join the European Chemical Bureau in Ispra, Italy. There, we soon got very involved in discussions on REACH, providing scientific and technical advice to the Commission," explains Mr de Bruijn. As the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) was established in Helsinki to implement REACH, Mr de Bruijn convinced his family to leave Italy for the cold North. "It was not an easy task," he says. "Working in ECHA is a great opportunity for implementing the ideas that we had when developing the draft legislation, trying to learn from the past as well as avoid making the same mistakes. That is the big challenge and also the great privilege to see ten years of discussion, interaction and negotiation now finally being really implemented."
Crucial choice
Mr de Bruijn explains that there are several options for managing the risks of hazardous chemicals. The correct choice of the measure is important, and authorities which submit proposals should carefully analyse which is the best risk management option. Mr de Bruijn stresses that once the authorities decide to send a substance into the restriction or authorisation process, it has consequences and may also limit the choices later on.
"As regards the Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern, I would like to refer to a useful discussion we had in January 2009 in a workshop between the Member States, the Commission and us about what the Candidate List is actually for. We focussed on why a substance should or should not be on the Candidate List, and not so much on whether this list should be long or not" Mr de Bruijn explains.
Jack de Bruijn - involved with REACH from the very beginning.
"There can be various reasons for adding a substance to the Candidate list, the most obvious one being that you want to identify the substance as a substance of very high concern (SVHC) to prioritise it further in the authorisation process. Once it goes there, then the whole machinery starts and industry has to send in applications. If they do not, then after a certain deadline, the sunset day, they cannot use the substance any more."
"Another reason to put a substance on the Candidate List is the link with REACH Articles 33 and 7. These articles contain specific requirements for manufacturers to provide information to people buying products if they contain substances of very high concern. "For PBTs* and vPvBs**, identification as a substance of very high concern is practically the only way of getting their PBT status formally recognised. There is no other mechanism at present. Whereas for CMRs*** there is the normal harmonised classification system which identifies them, and that is what normally is done before they enter the list of substances of very high concern," underlines Mr de Bruijn.
"We agreed with the Member States that the most relevant aspect is to know whether you have the right substances on the list and whether the Candidate List is the best way to address concerns on these substances. This question is not easy to answer." ECHA has worked on a framework to support the authorities in identifying the best risk management option. The target is that before a dossier is sent in, an exchange of views between the Member States, the Commission and ECHA will take place on the reasons and arguments for selecting a certain route.
A lot on the agenda
ECHA and the EU Member States and EEA/ EFTA countries have agreed that the Candidate List will be updated twice per year.
On 1 June 2009, ECHA sent the Commission its first recommendation for substances that should be added in Annex XIV of REACH (List of substances subject to authorisation) and not to be used without prior authorisation. The Commission is developing the Annex XIV proposal but has not come up with it as of yet. "In theory, the day after the Annex XIV is published, we could receive an application for authorisation," says Mr de Bruijn. "And then the whole opinion making process starts. We have responsibility to make the information available on our website, and also to request further information for instance on alternatives for those substances. And of course we then have to manage the opinion-making process for the RAC and SEAC in a very short timeline with the aim of providing the Commission with the best possible support for their final decisionmaking."
The restrictions process has also started. Annex XVII, which lists all restrictions agreed in the past, was updated and published again in a new version. ECHA is expecting proposals for new restrictions from the Member States in the first half of 2010.
"In addition, our unit is working on a restriction dossier on mercury in blood pressure measuring devices which was requested by the Commission. It is basically a revision of an already existing restriction in Annex XVII. We are looking at whether there is a need for further restrictions on the use of mercury devices such as blood-pressure meters. In addition, the Commission has asked us to look whether there is a need to review the current restrictions on phthalates, taking into account all new scientific information. We have collected all the new information and are evaluating it. And that we will communicate to the Commission very soon and decide on the next steps," says Mr de Bruijn.
A key element of REACH
The Risk Management Unit also provides work on developing exposure scenarios. Mr de Bruijn considers them to be one of the key new elements of REACH and very important for industry in risk management and communicating to the downstream users proper advice on how their substances can be handled safely. "I believe particularly that if we get the exposure scenario concept working well in the companies, and there is appropriate communication down the supply chain to all the relevant people using chemicals, that is the area where we will ultimately see the greatest impact of REACH."
* PBT=persistent, bioaccumulative, toxic,
** vPvB=very persistent, very bioaccumulative,
*** CMR=carcinogenic, mutagenic, toxic for reproduction

Тазобедрената става () е една от големите стави, чрез която долният крайник се свързва към трупа на тялото. Тя има сферична форма и е изградена от две ставни повърхности покрити с хрущял – главата на бедрената кост и ставната ямка на таза, както и свързващите ги лигаменти. Главата на бедрената кост ("ябълката") е разположена в нейната горна част и представлява почти идеална сфера, която се движи в ацетабулума (сферична чашковидна вдлъбнатина на таза).

Гладкото и безболезнено движение в ставата се определя от правилната форма на тези два компонента, както и на доброто им покритие със ставен хрущял. Закрепването на бедрената глава в ацетабулума става, чрез няколко здрави връзки (лигаменти) и чрез заобикалящите ставата мускули. Приплъзването на хрущялните ставни повърхности се улеснява от оскъдно количество вътреставна течност изпълваща ставната кухина.

Тазобедрената става позволява голяма свобода на движенията и в същото време пренася тежестта на тялото върху долния крайник. Движенията които се извършват в нея са следните:
 сгъване и разгъване на долния крайник
 отвеждане и привеждане към тялото
 въртене навън и навътре

Claims for Analyzing Twitter Posts Held Unpatentable by Judge Castel
by Lewis V. Popovski on November 9, 2018
On October 29, 2018, United States District Judge P. Kevin Castel (S.D.N.Y.) issued a decision granting Defendant Bloomberg's Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss iSentium's patent infringement claim because it is directed to subject matter that is not eligible for patenting under 35 U.S.C. § 101.
iSentium's suit alleges infringement of United States Patent No. 8,856,056, a patent directed to a method for evaluating social media posts that discuss publicly traded assets. In particular, the claimed method purports to evaluate each post's polarity, i.e., whether the post expresses a positive, negative or neutral opinion, and strength, i.e., how strongly the opinion is held. The specification discloses that determination of polarity and strength is based on databases of known phrases and further grammatical analysis, and contends that changes in an asset's price can be anticipated based on this analysis.
Bloomberg, argued that the claims of the '056 patent are directed to an abstract idea that is not patentable under 35 U.S.C. § 101. Under step one of Alice's two-part test for patentable subject matter, Judge Castel held that the '056 patent was directed to the ineligible abstract idea of "collecting statements from social media and identifying opinions through the use of algorithms and databases." In support, the decision cited Federal Circuit decisions holding that data analysis is an abstract idea, even when performed by high speed computers.
Judge Castel next proceeded to step two of the Alice test, the search for an inventive concept that would transform an abstract idea into a patent-eligible invention. For this step, iSentium urged the Court to consider claim 1, a means-plus-function claim to a sentiment calculator comprising means for determining a messages polarity and strength "based upon pairs of lexical items in local syntactic context." According to iSentium, the corresponding algorithm disclosed in the specification contained the required inventive concept that conferred patent eligibility. Judge Castel held otherwise.
At oral argument, counsel for iSentium described the purported inventive algorithm of claim 1 as "the consideration of words in relation to each other." But when asked for further detail, counsel responded: "It is something more complicated and we have a patent that does not disclose the way of performing this" (emphasis in opinion). Judge Castel concluded that the consideration of words in relation to each other and the consideration of words other than adjectives, without further specificity, is conventional, and not inventive, even assuming that this form of language processing was an improvement over pure word-search based prior art algorithms.
Case: iSentium, LLC v. Bloomberg Finance LP, 1-17-cv-07601(PKC), Dkt. No. 32 (S.D.N.Y. October 29, 2018).

Things can get over the top there, but right now it is over OVER the top.
Seriously, who pays $2000 for a Submariner rep; or $1600 for an IWC Portuguese rep or Big Pilot rep; or $1350 for assorted other replica watches?
I just looked at the sub thread, it does have a gen dial, gen bezel insert and gen clasp... Not sure what that all adds up to though.
wasn't arguing at all. I know I wouldn't spend that kind of money on a rep. Hell, I haven't spent that kind of money on a gen!
Spending 2k on a rep, kind of defies the point of getting a rep in the first place IMO.
Interests:Fishing, Archery, Hunting, and riding my motorcycle.
Pricy indeed even if it has some gen parts, not for me.
It doesn't matter how much you spend on it, but a rep is still a rep.
Seems to me you get all the disadvantages of a rep and all the disadvantages of a gen in one stonkingly expensive package.
Tell me more about it, how's the lume ?
And how does it taste the 2nd time around?


The present study was carried out to characterize the FA profile of sheep cheese marketed in Chile. Fifty-eight cheeses were collected from supermarkets of 5 different Chilean cities including 34 sheep cheeses, 7 from goat's milk, 11 from cow's milk, 4 from a mixture of sheep, goat and cow's milk and 2 from a mixture of sheep and cow's milk. Compared to the cow and goat cheese (3.4 and 2.5 g·100g−1), the sheep cheese (3.8 g·100g−1) contained higher contents of C18:1t. The saturated and polyunsatured FA contents were greater in goat cheese than in sheep and cow cheese. The n6/n3 ratio was greater in goat (6.1) cheese than in sheep and cow cheese (3.8 and 5.2). The atherogenicity index was unaffected by cheese type, however, the thrombogenic index was lower in sheep cheese (2.8) than in goat and cow cheese (3.1 and 2.9). The n6/n3 ratio and thrombogenic index were lower in Chilean sheep cheese than in those imported from Europe. The fatty acid profile of cheese can be used to differentiate animal species from which the cheese is made and to some extent the geographical origin that may give some insight as to animal feed and production management.
Estudio comparativo del perfil de ácidos grasos de quesos de oveja comerciales. Este estudio fue llevado a cabo para caracterizar el perfil de AG de quesos de oveja que se comercializan en Chile. Cincuenta y ocho quesos fueron recogidos de supermercados de 5 ciudades de Chile de los cuales 34 fueron de oveja, 7 de cabra, 11 de vaca, 4 de mezcla de leche de oveja, cabra y vaca y 2 de mezcla de leche de oveja y vaca. Comparado con quesos de vaca y cabra (3.4 y 2.5 g·100g−1), los quesos de oveja (3.8 g·100g−1) presentaron mayor contenido de C18:1t. Los AG saturados y poliinsaturados tuvieron concentraciones más altas en los quesos de cabra que en los quesos de oveja y vaca. La relación n6/n3 fue más alta en quesos de cabra (6.1) que en quesos de oveja y vaca (3.8 y 5.2). El índice aterogénico no fue afectado por el tipo de queso, sin embargo, el índice trombogénico fue menor en quesos de oveja (2.8) que en quesos de cabra y vaca (3.8 y 5.2). La relación n6/n3 y el índice trombogénico fueron menores en quesos chilenos que en quesos importados de Europa. El perfil de AG de quesos puede ser usado para diferenciar entre especies animales de las cuales proviene el queso y hasta cierto grado, el origen geográfico, ofreciendo indicios sobre el tipo de alimento y sistema productivo animal del cual provienen los quesos.

In Chile there has been a significant growth in cheese production (ODEPA, 2012) and at the same time, there has been an incipient market for sheep cheese because it is considered a gourmet product whose production is expected to increase in the forthcoming years. In Chile, cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death among adults and the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors is similar to that of European and North American populations (Bunout and Escobar, 2000). In the last decade, consumers have become more concerned about the fat content of dairy products and this has led to the development of different nutritional strategies to improve the FA composition of dairy products such as cheese (Vera et al., 2009; Toro-Mujica et al., 2011). Producing cheese with an improved fatty acid (FA) composition could significantly increase economic returns to farmers (Vera et al., 2009). Ruminant cheeses have some FA that have beneficial effects on human health such as vaccenic (VA; C18:1t11) and conjugated linoleic acids (CLA; C18:2 c9, t11) (Aldai et al., 2013). It has been demonstrated that the modulation of dairy ewe diets (Vargas-Bello-Pérez et al., 2013 a,b) results in sheep cheese with reduced atherogenic and thrombogenic indices and low saturated FA contents.
The milk fatty acid profile of ruminants can be affected by different factors such as animal species, lactation stages, feeding, and genetics (Vargas-Bello-Pérez and Garnsworthy, 2013). Cheese fat from dairy ewes is characterized by high concentrations of FA made-up with 6–10 atoms of carbon (Partidário et al., 2008). Also, compared to bovines and goats, the CLA contents in sheep milk are greater (Shingfield et al., 2010).
Given that sheep cheese has fatty acids that may have positive effects on human health and its production could signify economic profits, the objective of the present study is to analyze the FA profile of commercial sheep cheese in Chile. The results could become the basis for developing benchmarking tools and strategies aiming at improving the nutritional characteristics of sheep cheese.
Fifty-eight cheeses were collected from supermarkets of 5 different Chilean cities (Santiago, Rancagua, Melipilla, Viña del Mar and Puerto Natales) including 34 sheep cheeses, 7 from goat's milk, 11 from cow's milk, 4 from a mixture of sheep, goat and cow's milk and 2 from a mixture of sheep and cow's milk. The sheep cheeses were produced in Chile (23 cheeses) and imported from France (2 cheeses) and Spain (9 cheeses). After collection, the cheeses were cut in four sections at which time two cores of each cheese were obtained and stored in re-sealable bags at –80 °C for one month until further analysis.
Two cores of each cheese were used for the FA analysis. The lipids from the cheese were extracted according to a chloroform/methanol (2:1, v/v) by Folch et al. (1957) method and methylated with the modifications of Sukhija and Palmquist (1988) using hexane as an organic solvent instead of benzene. Analyses of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) were performed using a gas chromatograph (GC; Shimadzu Scientific Instruments AOC-20s, Columbia, MD, USA) equipped with a flame ionization detector, an autoinjector and an Rtx column (30 m × 0.32 mm × 0.20 μm column). The GC conditions were similar to those reported by Vargas-Bello-Pérez et al. (2013b). FA peaks were identified by using two FAME standards (GLC 60; Nu-Check-Prep, Elysan, MN, USA), and the Food Industry 37 FAME mix, 35077 Restek Co, Bellefonte, PA, USA). C18:1 trans isomers were detected by comparing retention times as reported by Ledoux et al. (2000).
The samples were assigned to four groups: cow, sheep, goat and mixtures. The samples were analyzed using ANOVA and multiple comparisons of means. In order to determine which FA was responsible for the differentiation between cheeses that were made from different animal species and geographical origin a multivariate analysis was carried out using a correlation matrix between individual FA to discard those that showed very high correlations (r = >0.9) as well as those without correlations. Bartlett's test of sphericity was applied to examine the hypothesis that the variables were uncorrelated in the population and the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin index was used to measure sampling adequacy. Hierarchical clustering was then performed and a discriminant analysis was used to verify the extent to which samples were correctly assigned to the clusters identified in the previous analysis. To check for possible differences among cheeses associated with country of origin (Chile, Spain and France) an individual analysis of variance and multiple means comparison were performed. The SPSS statistical software for Windows was used (version 15.0.0; SPSS Inc., Chicago IL, USA).
From the cheese samples analyzed, only C17:0 was not different among animal species (Table 1). Regardless of cheese type, C10:0, C14:0, C16:0, C18:0, C18:1 t11 and C18:1c9 represented around 78% of the total FA, and these results agree with those reported previously (Partidário et al., 2008; Walther et al., 2008). As reported by Park et al. (2007), sheep and goat cheese contained higher contents of caproic (C6:0), caprylic (C8:0), capric (C10:0) and lauric (C12:0) acids than cow cheese. Fatty acids which are formed by 4 to 14 carbons arise chiefly from de novo synthesis whereas FAs with more than 16 carbons are derived from the uptake of circulating lipids. Ruminants utilize acetate produced by the ruminal fermentation of carbohydrates (contained in dietary fiber) as the major carbon source (Bauman and Griinari, 2003). Fatty acids with less than 12 carbons are associated with the typical flavors of small ruminant cheese and can also be used to detect mixtures of milk from different species (Park et al., 2007).
a,b,c Means in the same row with different superscripts are different (P<0.05).
2Thrombogenic index = (14:0 + 16:0 + 18:0) / [(0.5×18:1) + 0.5(ΣMUFA) + 0.5(n6PUFA) + 3(n3PUFA) + (n3PUFA/n6PUFA)] (Ulbricht and Southgate, 1991).
Compared with cow and goat, sheep cheese had higher contents of C18:1 trans isomers. In ruminant fat, vaccenic acid (VA; C18:1 t11) is the most common C18:1 trans isomer accounting for 60 to 80% of the total trans FA (Vargas-Bello-Pérez and Garnsworthy, 2013). VA can be converted to C18:2 c9, t11 (rumenic acid; RA) through the action of stearoyl coenzyme A desaturase and it has been estimated that 20% of VA can be converted to RA in humans. The RA has been identified as anti-carcinogenic, anti-atherosclerotic, antioxidant, and immunomodulator (Young et al., 2013). The C18:1 trans isomer contents in sheep cheese are similar to those reported in Italian (Nudda et al., 2005) and Spanish (Luna et al., 2005) cheeses. This may be due to the feeding practices.It is possible that those cheeses came from farms where the sheep were fed with fresh pastures or supplemented with oilseeds. When pasture inclusion increases in the total diet, linear increases in C18:3n3, C18:1 t11 and C18:2 c9t11 and decreases in C10:0–C16:0 are observed (Chilliard et al., 2007). On the other hand, oilseeds are rich sources of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), which, after being biohydrogenated in the rumen, can increase the concentrations of health promoting FA such as linolenic (C18:3n3) and rumenic acids (Zhang et al., 2006).
Interestingly, the C18:1 trans isomers and C18:3n3 contents were higher in Chilean sheep cheese than in the French and Spanish cheese (Table 2). As mentioned before, those FA can be improved when the ewe diet is based mostly on pastures. In Chile, sheep production is based largely on grazing systems, however, in Spain for example, sheep cheese is produced throughout the year leading to an intensification of reproductive management, and a reduction in grazing periods (Riedel et al., 2007). This type of system results in a substitution of on-farm natural resources (forages and pastures) with external inputs (conserved forages and concentrates) (Vera et al., 2009). No differences were observed between French and Spanish sheep cheese so it is possible that these countries have similar conditions among their production systems including feeding, breeds and level of intensification of farm management (Riedel et al., 2007).
a,b,cMeans in the same row with different superscripts are different (P<0.05).
Nutritional recommendations are based on different ratios such as PUFA n6/ PUFA n3 and PUFA/SFA; these values are used to evaluate the nutritional value of fat for human consumption. The values for PUFA/SFA found in our cheese samples were below the recommended amount (above 0.45) for the human diet whereas only the values for sheep cheese were below the recommended level (less than 4.0) for the PUFA n6/PUFA n3 ratio (British Department of Health, 1994). Compared to cow and goat, sheep cheese had a lower thrombogenic index and intermediate concentrations of SFA, MUFA and PUFA (Table 1). Saturated FA are known to increase the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD; Williams et al., 2000), on the contrary, milk MUFA and PUFA (e.g., C18:2 c9, t11) can reduce the risk of CHD and prevent some types of cancer (Mohammadzadeh et al., 2013). However, there is a lack of scientific evidence that other SFA such as C4:0-C10:0 (short- and medium- chain FA; SMFA) have an effect on blood cholesterol and CHD risk (Astrup et al., 2011). In this study, compared to cow and sheep, goat cheese had higher contents of SMFA.
From the human health perspective, in this study, Chilean sheep cheese could be considered healthier than those imported from Europe; this is supported by the higher PUFA n3 and lower PUFA n6 contents (consequently lower PUFA n6/ PUFA n3 ratio) found in the Chilean sheep cheese (Table 2). The PUFA n3 play an important role in the prevention and control of coronary artery disease, hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, autoimmune disorders and cancer (Simopoulos, 2000).
The correlation matrix of FA discarded C4:0, C6:0, C18:0 and C20:1n9 (c11). The principal component analysis (PCA) carried out on the 16 remaining FA resulted in 4 principal components (PCs) which explained 0.84 of the overall variance in the data. PC1 and PC2 explained 0.34 and 0.28 of the variation in FA contents (Table 3). The KMO index was 0.62, whereas the Bartlett's test of sphericity showed the suitability (P<0.001) of those variables selected for analysis.
Three groups were found after PCA was carried out in order to obtain data clusters related to the fatty acid profiles of the cheeses. Group I was formed by 26 samples from which 23 were Chilean sheep cheeses, 2 were Chilean mixture cheeses (90% sheep and 10% cow milk) and 1 Chilean goat cheese. Group II was composed of 13 samples from which 11 were Chilean cow cheeses and 2 were Spanish mixture cheeses (proportion of milks was not found in the label). Finally, Group III was formed by 19 samples from which 9 were Spanish sheep cheeses, 2 were French sheep cheeses, 2 were Spanish mixture cheeses and 6 were Chilean goat cheeses.
PC1 consisted of the typical FA that can be found in the milk of small ruminants (C8:0 and C10:0) (Partidário et al., 2008) whereas C14:1c9 and C16:1c9 are usually detected in the milk and cheeses of cows (O'Donnell et al., 2010). Figure 1 shows a clear difference among animal species particularly between Groups I and II. PC2 comprised C16:0, C18:1t, C18:3n3 and C18:2n6, and therefore, the cheese in this PC may have a high MUFA/SFA ratio. Group I (mainly Chilean cheeses) had higher proportions of these FA.

Three groups were found after PCA was carried out in order to obtain data clusters related to the fatty acid profiles of the cheese. Group I: 26 samples from which 23 were Chilean sheep cheeses, 2 were Chilean mixture cheeses (90% sheep and 10% cow milk) and 1 Chilean goat cheese. Group II: 13 samples from which 11 were Chilean cow cheeses and 2 were Spanish mixture cheeses (proportion of milks was not found in the label). Group III: 19 samples from which 9 were Spanish sheep cheeses, 2 were French sheep cheeses, 2 were Spanish mixture cheeses and 6 were Chilean goat cheeses.
The different data clusters obtained in this study showed that some FA vary depending on animal species, however, there are some confounding factors related to the type of feed, production system and breed of animals (Carta et al., 2008). For example, in Group III, where most of the European cheeses were grouped, most of the production systems may be intensive and their feeding management relies on high-concentrate diets (Sanz Sampelayo et al., 2007). These particular characteristics of production systems, animals, feedstuffs, etc., are closely related to the organoleptic characteristics of cheese that lead to the creation of the Protected Denomination of Origin (PDO) or Protected Geographical Identification (PGI) regimes (Martínez et al., 2011) and therefore become useful tools for creating strategies aiming at improving the nutritional characteristics of sheep cheese in Chile.
The results indicated that the FA profiles of Chilean cheese were desirable from a human health standpoint. The fatty acid profile of cheese can be used to differentiate the animal species from which the cheese is made and to some extent the geographical origin that may give some insights into animal feed and production management. The data from this study could be used to develop benchmark tools and strategies aiming at improving the nutritional characteristics of sheep cheese.

Q: Delimiter for storing multiple values for a default value of a parameter in rdl Microsoft SSRS I want to know what delimiter I can use to store multiple values in a database column for a default value of a parameter in rdl. Ideally, the delimiter should be an invalid character in the default value. Thus, when it is processed, it can be identified as a delimiter as opposed to the default value.
Because when a parameter allows multiple values, I need a way to differentiate them when they are stored in to a database table column, and retrieved them for display. E.g. when a date parameter has '2011-01-01' and '2011-02-01' as default values, when it is stored in a database column, I need a delimiter to differentiate it, so that I can retrieve them and populate it back to the drop down list on the rdl for display.
E.g. To create a default values, right click the paramter, on the Report Parameter Properties windows, select Allow multiple values on General tab, and add default value on Defautl Values tab.
Thanks in advance
Update
I am looking for a list of invalid characters for default values published by Microsoft, similar to invalid characters in file name.

A: If you want to return multiple default values from a dataset, they should be returned as multiple records, not as one record with a special delimiter.
No matter what delimiter you use, SSRS will treat one returned value as one value for the parameter.
(If you need to store the default somewhere, and are parsing it to create multiple rows in your dataset, then, of course, the choice of delimiter can be whatever you want. A common choice is the pipe (|) character.)

Teesside hospital visitors now asked to provide negative covid test to curb rising admissions
Visitors must now take a lateral flow test and provide evidence of a negative result

Lateral flow Covid-19 tests (Image: PA)
A hospital trust is asking people to provide proof of a negative covid result before visiting loved ones - despite a shortage of tests across Teesside.
North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust runs the University Hospital of North Tees in Stockton and the University Hospital of Hartlepool in Hartlepool.
Bosses said people must now take a lateral flow test and provide proof of the result before visiting patients inside their hospitals.
Go here for the latest breaking news from across Teesside
They have stepped up their measures in an attempt to curb the rising number of coronavirus admissions.
Visitors to any of the trust's buildings must also wear a mask, which are available at reception areas, unless they are exempt from doing so.
University Hospital of North Tees in Stockton
Infection, prevention and control lead nurse Rebecca Denton-Smith said: "We want to do everything we can to ensure patients can still be visited by their loved ones.
"In order to do that and in light of a rising number of COVID-19 cases and hospital admissions, we are asking for our community's support.
"Anyone visiting hospital is asked to order and to take a lateral flow test – providing evidence of a negative result when visiting the ward.
"This will help lower any chances of transmission – protecting our patients and our staff.
"Thank you to our community for their continued support."
Visitors have been asked to provide a negative result at a time when there is no home delivery slots left for rapid lateral flow tests.
The Government website says: "You may still be able to pick up rapid lateral flow tests from a pharmacy or collection point, where these are available. Only pick up tests if you do not have symptoms."
However some pharmacies on Teesside also appear to be running out of covid-19 test kits.
The Well pharmacy in Middlesbrough's Cleveland Centre has put up a sign informing customers that they have no tests left.
It says: "Sorry we do not have any covid testing kits available at the moment."
To make a visiting appointment, ring the main switchboard number on 01642 617 617 and ask for the ward area.

Dr Gillian Knight, Head of Biosciences at the University of Derby, who led the study, said: "HPV is a very common infection, with around 80% of adults being exposed to a genital HPV infection by their mid-twenties. We already know that this high infection rate influences the likelihood of women developing cervical cancer, but what we don't know is how many people who have an oral HPV infection go on to develop HPV head and neck cancer.
"In the UK, we only vaccinate 12-13 year old girls with the HPV jab to prevent them from picking up the high-risk strains of HPV when they become sexually active, which hopefully will prevent in girls all HPV-related cancers, including cervical cancer.
"We do not vaccinate boys even though they have the same risk of contracting HPV infection as women and a recently identified risk – higher than in women – to head and neck cancer. Patients presenting at head and neck clinics with HPV-associated cancers are steadily increasing, particularly in white males under the age of 40.
"The reason why men in the UK are not given the vaccine is that rates of HPV head and neck cancer are currently not as high as cervical cancer rates, but as the numbers of HPV head and neck cancer increase, there is a call that the UK follow other countries and start to vaccinate their boys."
Dr Knight added: "As part of the future research at the University of Derby, we are working with the Royal Derby Hospital to investigate the rates of HPV infection in patients attending the head and neck clinics to determine the rates of oral HPV infection in a wider age range."


ESA member Madeline Kripke was recently featured when narratively did a series of articles on mini-museums in NYC.
"This is my favorite wall," Madeline Kripke says as she shines a flashlight at the slang section of her dictionary collection. On the glass-enclosed shelves sit numerous lingo dictionaries that capture the speech of cowboys, flappers, mariners, gamblers, truck drivers, hippies, homosexuals, jive talkers, soldiers, circus workers, hobos, fliers, Valley Girls, thieves, con men and more.
Kripke has dictionaries that–as a fan of them myself–I'd never imagined existed, ranging from a four-century-old tome that looks like some ancient book of spells to miniature dictionaries small as postage stamps kept in lockets that double as magnifying glasses.

Yesterday, I was wide awake before 5 am.
Until it was 5 am.
Yeah... well- 5am is more acceptable than before 5am so 5 it was.
but trying to sleep in and 4 something in the morning don't mix well.
so I poured my coffee and went outside to enjoy the early morning quiet.
and those early morning cups of coffee will be in the car.
She feels like Summer just started too.
It seems like Summer break is shrinking each year.
and I know she has a couple of things planned for the next couple weeks too.
of my 3 kids in school since the boys have both graduated.
The Tour of Summer Homes.
Don't forget to enter the Mikasa giveaway if you haven't yet!!
I spent my Sunday morning outside by myself today too. I know the exact feeling you described in this post, Courtney! Listening to the outside world before all the humans wake up. :) Your photos are pretty as always.
I use to rise every morning at 5:45. Now that I am retired, I sleep in until 6:15. I feel like I am a lazy slug.
Our house is already noisy by the time I rise - cats screaming for food, music from the studio drifting down the hall to the bedroom and if I am lucky, the waves are crashing loud enough to rattle the double hung windows. All the sounds that I just take for granted, but would miss if any of them were absent.
Beautiful photos. Yes, summer does seem to get shorter each and every year!
Oh, I usually wake up early if we are at the beach (that has not been in years) and go out on the deck overlooking the ocean and have my coffee while hubby or hubby and kids back in the day were still sleeping. I know school break has gotten shorter here. Some schools start this Friday 8-1. That is just crazy. Glad mine are grown.
Oh, Courtney- those pictures are just heavenly.
Best time of the day in Summer,but it's winter here and being retired I am afraid my mornings are very late as it's so cosy in bed under the doona.
Do you know the name and brand of the lovely white rose with the pink edging?
Thank you for sharing these beautiful pictures - they are the breath of fresh summer air that I needed!

Warwick next for The Conditional
Bridgwater to choose between Classic Chase and novice option.
Ladbrokes Trophy runner-up The Conditional will head to Warwick next month.
Connections will choose between the McCoy Contractors Civil Engineering Classic Chase or a Grade Two novice chase on the same card on January 11 for the seven-year-old.
Trainer David Bridgwater has the Grand National at the back of his mind – but whether that is this season or next will be decided in the coming months.
"We're going to give him a couple of entries at Warwick – the Classic Chase, which I'd imagine he'd have to be favourite for, without seeing the runners, and he'll have the option of the novice race on the same day," said Bridgwater.
"If he was to win one of those we'll take a view where he goes after that, because he's not stopped improving.
"He did have some fair experience in Ireland before he joined us – he was fourth in the Leinster National and ran in a maiden chase, won by the Arkle winner (Duc Des Genievres).
"I think he's too good for something like the Kim Muir. I was talking to his old trainer (Martin Hassett) the other day, and he thinks he's an Irish National horse. If I was Irish I'd agree with him – but I'm not!
"We've only got one good horse, and the big yards have 10, (so) we'd come up against something Willie Mullins has been keeping back for it – and we'd rather pick and choose carefully."
Bridgwater is no stranger to handling a good horse, most notably The Giant Bolster – who finished second, fourth and third in three Gold Cups – and he believes The Conditional is his next stable star.
"He's more straightforward to train than Bolster – he was a complicated character who was very hit and miss," said the Cotswolds trainer.
"Thankfully for us, he saved his hits for Cheltenham – he came to life on Gold Cup day as if he knew what it was. Any other day, he wouldn't win a selling hurdle."
Bridgwater has big plans for The Conditional, but is in no rush.
"I think this fellow is a Grand National horse, perhaps not this year, but he might get an entry," he added.
"If he wins the Classic Chase he could be second-favourite for the National, but it just might be a year too early – he only turns eight next week.
"I have to blow my own trumpet, because nobody else will. Going into Newbury I couldn't believe West Approach was favourite, because we'd already beaten him, and even when we were second we still barely got a mention.
"When we get a good one we know what we're doing, I think – we'll look after him, run him in the right races, and planning for these races gives you such a buzz."
