Progress being made on new SIU baseball stadium

CARBONDALE, IL-- Construction crews have been busy at Abe Martin Field, demolishing almost everything that was once there. Saluki baseball coach Ken Henderson says a new field will not replace the memories made at Abe Martin the last half century.

"The history is going to remain,"?said Henderson. "It's still going to be Abe Martin Field, and it's still going to be on the same site, and so no one is going to take that history away from us."

But plenty will change. As Henderson pointed to, the field itself will still be called 'Abe Martin Field,' but it will be apart of a larger facility referred to as 'Itchy Jones Stadium.' And new memories will be made at the state of the art stadium, which includes field turf, lights, and updated amenities for fans, which is expected to help?boost attendance.

Of all the things changing, one thing that is untouched is 'The Hill,' where Saluki fans of all ages have watched the games for a different vantage point, for decades.

"Everybody has something about their facility that's theirs, and 'The Hill' is ours,"?admitted director of facilities Andy Pettit. "We aren't going to touch that hill, it will actually be improved. We're sinking the dugouts, so the view over the dugouts will be better from 'The Hill.'

But for the first time ever, everyone will be charged admission. Pettit says they haven't yet decided what that charge will be, but it will not be expensive.

Henderson says that as bright as the future is for the Salukis, they'll be worth the price of admission.

"I think it's the most exciting time in my twenty-four years here,"?Henderson said.?"And I?think it's one of the most exciting programs in the midwest right now."

As long as the weather co-operates, construction crews are planning to lay field turf down in November, and the new stadium will be unveiled in the spring.

Motorola Xoom 4G LTE soak test to finally begin, 3 months after initial invites

Android Central

Android version of the test is unknown, Jelly Bean expected

Update: Shortly after the soak testers started getting emails, Verizon made 4.2 official for everyone with a Xoom. We're not sure if they still have something special planned for testers or if they're done with the Xoom. 

Almost 3 months after the initial invites were sent out by Motorola, emails telling participants that the soak test for the Verizon Motorola Xoom 4G LTE will soon begin and finally being sent. At the time when the invitations initially went out, it was expected that Xoom owners would get a version of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean to test, or maybe Android 4.2. Now that more time has passed, and Android 4.3 has been released, things could change — although it is unlikely.

It would make sense for Motorola to bring the Verizon Xoom up to the same Android version as its WiFi-only sibling, Android 4.1.2. We won't know for sure until builds become available to those participating in the soak test, which should be any time now. Verizon Xoom owners that received an invite back in May, make sure to keep an eye on your inbox.

Thanks, Hunch!

Keith Urban returning as 'American Idol' judge

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) ? Keith Urban is coming back to "American Idol."

Fox chairman Kevin Reilly on Thursday confirmed the return of the country music star, settling the fate of the only judge left from last season on the talent competition.

"He did a really good job last year," Reilly said to a gathering of the Television Critics Association. "The fans really like him."

Reilly said Urban didn't have a chance to show his personality. The executive didn't say why, but the country singer was routinely overshadowed by bickering between fellow judges Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey. Their departures, along with that of Randy Jackson, were announced weeks ago, a response to the show's sagging ratings.

But Reilly was mum on who would sit beside Urban at the judges' table next season, which begins in January. Reilly said there have been discussions with Jennifer Lopez, a former judge, "but there is no deal with her or with anyone else."

"Idol" is looking for judges who make it comfortable for viewers, Reilly said. Whoever is on the panel, there will be a renewed emphasis on the contestants.

"The show always has been about the contestants," he said.

Rob Ford 'obsessed' with ridding Toronto of graffiti [Photos] [Video]

Report an error

TORONTO?-?

Mayor Rob Ford?s war on graffiti rolled out a new weapon Wednesday.

Ford heralded the awarding of a $400,000-a-year graffiti removal contract to Goodbye Graffiti with a press conference in Etobicoke?s West Deane Park. The new contract, which starts Thursday, bundles together graffiti removal for all the city?s divisions including transportation services, parks, Toronto Water, municipal licensing and standards along with Toronto Community Housing.

?I?m obsessed with getting graffiti out of the city and keeping it out of the city,? Ford said. ?As you know, I?ve been fighting since I was first elected to get this city as clean as possible by removing all the graffiti. Through Clean Toronto Together the city works with businesses and residents to keep our streets clean of garbage, graffiti vandalism and illegal postering.

?A cleaner Toronto, as you know folks, is better for everyone.?

Ford argued the contract takes his Clean Toronto Together campaign to ?the next level.?

?Everywhere that there is graffiti, I will guarantee that we will be removing it,? he said.

Before spraying graffiti off a wall in the park, Ford encouraged residents to report graffiti vandalism to his office or to the city?s 311 service.

?Or please call 911 if you witness graffiti vandalism in progress,? Ford said. ?All you have to do is take a picture and we will catch the culprit doing it.?

If someone sees someone engaging in graffiti vandalism, Toronto Police said it is appropriate to call 911 to get officers to the scene as quickly as possible.

?Whenever there is a crime in progress you should contact 911,? Const. Tony Vella said.

The mayor managed to clean about half the wall before leaving it for staff at Goodbye Graffiti to finish the job.

Brent Bowman, franchise owner of Goodbye Graffiti, joked Ford?s graffiti removal technique was ?a little bit off.?

?But I?m sure with a little more training he?d be just fine,? Bowman said.

Ford said he?ll stick to his current job.

?Obviously I?m going to monitor closely, we?re spending taxpayers? money on this,? he said. ?Let them go out and clean up city facilities and I?m sure everyone will be happy with what they do.?

Councillor Adam Vaughan complained about Ford?s anti-graffiti push.

?Every time he does this we get more graffiti,? Vaughan said. ?The graffiti artists see it as a taunt and they respond by tagging people ? usually it?s anti-Ford stuff.

?The way to deal with it is to deal with it the way it is presented to us, by stealth. You just deal with it. But these high-profile campaigns, they actually generate more graffiti than they clean. Some of this anti-Ford stuff is priceless.?

Kiip CEO Brian Wong Changes Mobile Game Ad ... - Business Insider

Brian Wong kiip 30 under advertising

Kiip

Kiip's Brian Wong

The worst kept secret of the mobile ad world is that a huge percentage of its revenues come from ads for games. Agencies talk a lot about how mobile ads ? and their location-based targeting ? will change everything for brands. But the real money in mobile ads right now is in promoting game app downloads.

So Brian Wong, the 22-year-old CEO of mobile ad company Kiip, decided recently that his company was not going to become dependent on mobile games, even though the original basis of the company was to serve ads between levels in games, he told Business Insider.

His decision was validated by King.com's recent decision to banish all advertising from Candy Crush Saga, the hottest and most lucrative game on the market right now. Until a few weeks ago, Candy Crush featured ads between levels, just like a lot of games. But so many people were paying for in-game boosts that King found it could make more money by killing off the ad placements in favor of in-game payment offers for extra lives and game boosts.

Wong believes that the growth of in-app payments can be exponential, whereas growth in mobile ads is more linear. For instance, a Candy Crush addict can rapidly increase the amount they spend inside the game, but ads only get served once per level.

"Games have a variety of tactics to monetize and optimize their revenue streams and as such, occasionally decide to focus their resources on only a few. Because advertising has a reputation still in games for being interruptive (something we are changing with rewards), it typically isn't at the top of the priority list," Wong tells us.

And as Candy Crush proves, if your game is truly successful it will actually kill off all its ads.

That's a problem when your entire business is based on serving ads in games. We became interested in Kiip last year because its ads aren't standard banners and interruptive units. They offer rewards ? discounts, free products and so on ? for players who complete game levels. (Interpublic became interested, too, and bought a stake in the company.)

Kiip still has plenty of game clients, of course.

But since January it has pushed heavily into non-game apps like Wake, the super-cool alarm app, and Gym-Pact, the fitness app. Kiip's ads now reward people who achieve new "moments" inside those apps, such as completing a certain distance run. (Kiip has previously rewarded users with free Propel water from Kiip client PepsiCo in MapMyRun, too).

There are, of course, many, many more moments inside non-game apps that are virtually unexploited. And some non-game apps are hurting their user experience with standard banner ads when they could be rewarding consumers simply for using them, Wong believes.

Kiip has taken $15.3 million in funding including the Interpublic stake, and Wong says 2013 revenue will be somewhere in the eight-figure range. The San Francisco company has 55 employees, including a small sales team in New York and other offices in Chicago, London, Bogota, Vancouver, and Japan.

A Number Of People Tormented By Signs Of Ovarian Cancer In ...

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Typically, KEYWORDZ is a lot more prevalent in older females. Having said that, patients that have a genetic predisposition may perhaps develop the condition at a substantially earlier age. Ovarian cancer occurs when normal cells inside the ovaries start to develop in an uncontrolled, abnormal manner and generate malignant tumors in a single or each ovaries. Ovarian cancer causes additional deaths than any other type of cancer with the female reproductive technique, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS). The ACS ranks it fifth in cancer deaths among women.

Bloating or abdominal distention ? brought on by the accumulation of fluid ? may be the most prevalent symptom of the disease. You?ll find normally no apparent signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer early on within the illness method. Research indicate that some Signs of ovarian cancer in young women may knowledge persistent, nonspecific symptoms, including bloating, pelvic or abdominal discomfort, difficulty consuming or feeling full promptly, and/or urinary urgency or frequency. Women who experience these symptoms for prolonged periods of time are advised to seek prompt medical evaluation. Although it is actually rarely indicative of ovarian cancer, abnormal vaginal bleeding is one more symptom some ladies may perhaps encounter. The causes of ovarian cancer will not be entirely understood. Some research indicate that malignancy develops due to genetic errors that interfere with typical ovulation. Other people indicate that the increased hormone levels ahead of and during ovulation could stimulate the growth of abnormal cells. You can find three most important types of ovarian tumors, named just after the location where they form within the ovary. They include:

Epithelial tumors: The most prevalent type of KEYWORDZ, accounting for about 85% to 90% of situations, which develops in the thin layer of tissues that covers the ovaries (epithelium). Epithelial tumors generally occur in postmenopausal women. You?ll find two key sub-types of epithelial tumors:

TIP! You can also reduce your risk of cancer by getting some exercise, as well as maintaining a healthy diet routine. Eating enough vegetables and fruit, drinking lots of water, and working out 30 minutes daily can help improve your life.

Tumors of low malignant possible (LMP tumors): These tumors do not clearly seem cancerous when looked at below a microscope. They?re also referred to as ?borderline tumors.? LMP tumors are inclined to affect girls at a younger age that other ovarian cancers. They develop and spread slowly and are much less life-threatening than most ovarian cancers.

Epithelial ovarian cancers: Nearly 9 out of 10 ovarian cancers are this kind. Cancer cells of this kind have certain capabilities that could be detected under a microscope and let for their classification. Germ cell tumors: Tumors that create inside the egg-producing cells from the ovary and normally happen in younger ladies. Stromal tumors: These tumors create in the hormone (estrogen and progesterone)-producing tissue that holds the ovary together. Several threat variables have been identified as increasing or decreasing a woman?s likelihood of developing ovarian cancer. They consist of:

TIP! When you are battling cancer, it is still important that you exercise. Regular workouts will keep your blood moving through all areas of your body.

Family members history of breast, KEYWORDZ. Ovarian cancer can be inherited. A woman?s threat is greater if she has first-degree female relatives (ie, mother, daughter) who have also had the condition. Also, the younger the loved ones member when diagnosed, the larger the threat for the patient. Inherited mutations inside the BRCA 1 and BRCA two genes also increase a woman?s threat of ovarian cancer. Girls who have colon cancer in their households also may perhaps have higher risk of ovarian cancer. Personal background of breast cancer. Women who have breast cancer also have greater threat of establishing ovarian cancer. Age. Most ovarian cancers take place just after menopause, with about half of instances located in girls older than 60. Obesity. Some research indicate that getting a body mass index of 30 or greater increases the threat of ovarian cancer. Childbearing status.

Ladies who have given birth seem to have a lower risk of ovarian cancer compared to women who have never ever bore children. The risk decreases with the quantity of pregnancies. Breastfeeding could further lower the danger. Research also indicate that applying birth manage pills may possibly lower threat. Surgery to the reproductive organs. Tubal ligation and hysterectomy could reduce the opportunity of establishing KEYWORDZ. Use of fertility drugs. Some investigation has found that use in the fertility drug clomiphene for longer than 1 year, in particular when pregnancy doesn?t happen, may well increase the threat of LMP tumors. Estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Some new studies indicate that the use of estrogens after menopause puts women at higher threat of ovarian cancer. The danger appears to be higher in girls taking estrogen alone (with out progesterone) for numerous years. The elevated danger is much less for females taking combined estrogen and progesterone.

Ovarian cancer is uncommon in women beneath 40 years of age, nevertheless it can and does occur in younger girls. Young girls, who have a household background of ovarian cancer, are at maximum risk of building it. In them, this cancer is connected to hereditary aspects and BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. KEYWORDZ is usually a broad array of illnesses comprising more than 30 known subtypes. The three major categories of ovarian cancer occurring in younger ladies are germ cell tumour, epithelial cell tumour and sex-cord stromal tumour. Germ Cell Tumours ? These tumours arise from the cells in the ovary that happen to be meant to develop into eggs. These tumours contain those in yolk sac, embryos and endodermal sinus tumours. Epithelial Tumours ? It can be one of the most popular variety of ovarian cancer, accounting for about 85% to 90% of cases. The tumour develops inside the thin layer of tissues that covers the ovaries, referred to as the epithelium. You can find two most important sub-types of epithelial tumours- tumours of low malignant possible (LMP tumours) and Epithelial ovarian cancers. Sex-cord Stromal Tumour ? These tumours create within the tissues which generate the hormones oestrogen and progesterone. These hormones are vital to hold the ovary together. They represent about 6% of all ovarian cancers and mainly occur in young women.

You can find numerous KEYWORDZ. The early signs and symptoms of this cancer are frequent urination, appetite loss, feeling complete within the stomach, discomfort in pelvic region, and bloating. The other significantly lesser identified symptoms are nausea, transform in bowel movements, indigestion, leg discomfort, vaginal bleeding and pain throughout intercourse, abdomen swelling, gas and discomfort. Ovarian cancer is a lot more typical in young females of Jewish, Polish, Icelandic and Pakistani descent. This cancer in young ladies is associated with fewer pregnancies, high fat diet regime (junk food) and infertility. Young women that have ovarian cancer in its early stage could be treated by surgery which involves full removal of the uterus and ovaries through, known as hysterectomy. This outcomes in loss of fertility and also subjects these women for the long-term consequence of oestrogen deprivation. Ovarian cancer is rare in young girls but some of them do get diagnosed with it. Early detection from the cancer signs and symptoms is important to fight against the disease. If detected early sufficient, it is totally curable.
