Russian-Mongolian military drill over in Buryatia: Voice of Russia

Russian and Mongolian special task forces were focused on joint counter-terrorism measures, blocking and destroying imaginary illegal armed groups trying to break through the Russian border into Mongolia.

The two countries? servicemen for the first time employed attack aircraft during the drills. They also honed the tactic of evacuating civilians from a militant-infested area.

Huge cargo ship undocks from space station

An unmanned European cargo ship the size of a double-decker bus undocked from the International Space Station Friday, ending a six-month delivery flight to the orbiting lab.

The robotic Automated Transfer Vehicle 3 (ATV-3), with its four X-wing-like solar arrays unfurled, cast off from the space station Friday as the two spacecraft sailed 255 miles (410 kilometers) over western Kazakhstan in Asia. The cargo ship's undocking occurred at 5:44 p.m. EDT (2144 GMT).

The space departure occurred three days later than planned due to delays, first by a computer glitch and later by space junk near the space station.

      Science editor Alan Boyle's blog: NASA's Cassini sends back a big, beautiful, black-and-white picture of Saturn and its rings ? but what's the little white speck in the corner?

But Friday, the ATV-3 spacecraft, which is named the Edoardo Almadi after the famed late Italian physicist of the same name, made a flawless departure from the station. It will spend the next few days orbiting Earth before being intentionally destroyed on Tuesday by burning up in Earth's atmosphereover the Pacific Ocean. [Photos: Europe's Robotic ATV Spaceships]

"Today, everything has worked to perfection," NASA spokesman Rob Navias said during the agency's live broadcast of the undocking.

The ATV-3 spacecraft was built by the European Space Agency and delivered 7.2 tons of food, water and other vital supplies to astronauts aboard the International Space Station when it launched in March from a South American spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana. The ATV-3 spent 184 linked to the space station before being packed with trash and other unneeded items for its eventual fiery demise in Earth's atmosphere.

The ATV-3 is ESA's third unmanned cargo ship mission to visit the space station, which is also supplied by robotic cargo ships from Japan and Russia. In the United States, NASA has contracted two companies ? SpaceX of Hawthorne, Calif., and Virginia-based Orbital Sciences Corp. ? to provide unmanned cargo delivery flights to the station. The first official flight by SpaceX is scheduled to launch on Oct. 7, when the company

The ATV craft are huge cylinders 32 feet long (10 meters) and nearly 15 feet wide (4.5 m) and may be visible by observers on Earth as a bright moving light in the night sky, weather permitting. The ATV-3, like the International Space Station, can be spotted if you know where to look.

To find out if the ATV-3 will be flying over your location, visit one of these websites and enter the information for your location:

The European Space Agency is also holding a photo contest for satellite trackers hoping to snap a photo of the ATV-3 as it orbits the Earth during the next few days. Prizes will be awarded for the best snapshots.

"We look forward to seeing any and all photos of ATV in free flight and we wish you happy snapping for the contest!" ESA officials said in blog post.

How can humans touch Mars? Bring back a soil sample

A new report from NASA suggests that the agency prioritize bringing samples back from Mars to Earth for study. NASA will not make a specific plan for how they'll achieve this goal until after the president releases his 2014 budget in February. ?

The next steps in NASA's Mars exploration strategy should build toward returning Martian rocks and dirt to Earth to search for signs of past life, a new report by the space agency's Red Planet planning group finds.

The report, released today (Sept. 25) by the?Mars Program Planning Group?(MPPG), lays out a series of options that NASA could employ to get pieces of the Red Planet in scientists' hands here on Earth. The space agency is now mulling those options and could announce its chosen path by early next year, when the White House releases its proposed budget for fiscal year 2014.

"The first public release of what plans, you know, we definitively have would not be until the president presents that budget to Congress in February of 2013," John Grunsfeld, associate administrator for NASA?s Science Mission Directorate, told reporters today.

NASA put together the MPPG this past March to help?restructure its Mars strategy?in the wake of cuts to the space agency's robotic exploration program.

The MPPG was instructed to consider NASA's newly constrained fiscal situation and the priorities laid out by the U.S. National Research Council's Planetary Decadal Survey, which was released last year. President Barack Obama's directive that the agency get astronauts to the vicinity of?Mars?by the mid-2030s was another factor, NASA officials said.

The MPPG's focus on sample-return should thus come as no surprise. It was a top priority of the Decadal Survey, and sample-return could help spur and work in concert with NASA's plans for human exploration of Mars, Grunsfeld said. [7 Biggest Mysteries of Mars]

"Sample-return?represents the best opportunity to find symmetry technologically between the programs," he said. "Sending a mission to go to Mars and return a sample looks a lot like sending a crew to Mars and returning them safely."

Humans could even be involved in the sample-return process, according to the MPPG report. Astronauts aboard NASA's?Orion capsule, which is currently under development, could intercept the Martian sample in deep space, secure it in a contained environment, and bring it safely down to Earth.

"It is taking advantage of the human architecture, because we anticipate it will be there," Grunsfeld said. "And it potentially solves an issue of, when we return samples, somewhere we have to make sure that the samples are completely contained so there's no chance ? remote as it may be ? that there is something on Mars that could contaminate Earth."

AMD Trinity desktop chips due next week, promise Core i5-matching power at Core i3 price

Being the industry underdog means you're always in need of a punchy pitch. Fortunately, AMD's latest briefing to journalists in London yesterday contained exactly that: for something like the cost of an Intel Core i3 you'll be able to pick up an overclockable Trinity A10-5800K which, we're told, belongs in the same weight class as a Core i5 with HD 4000 graphics. Exact pricing won't be revealed until the full stack of A10, A8, A6 and A4 processors hits shelves next week, but the top-end A10 will likely cost around $130, based on recent leaks and a glance at what Newegg currently charges for an i3. Unluckily, however, whereas Ivy Bridge was compatible with some previous-generation motherboards, Trinity will require the purchase of a new Socket FM2 motherboard.

The claim of performance parity with the Core i5 just cries out to be tested, but we'll have to wait until early October before we can round up verdicts from full reviews on specialist sites. In the meantime, check out the More Coverage links below for some early previews. Also, if you require something more directly head-to-head with an Intel chip, then that's exactly what you'll find in the video after the break, albeit under AMD's auspices and solely in relation to a single game, Sleeping Dogs. As you'll see, there's nothing to turn hardcore gamers against discrete graphics cards, and there are no clues about non-gaming performance (which is arguably more relevant on an APU-powered system). But the quad-core A10-5800K does offer plenty of scope for escapism on a low-power HTPC or all-in-one. Indeed, the more expensive Core i5 is left for dust, not least because it's locked -- unlike AMD, Intel charges a premium for its overclockable K-denoted chips. We'll add further preview links as they become available.

Update: Just added HotHardware's preview, which shows that the A10 really does game as well as our video suggests in addition to providing a mostly fluid computing experience. As mentioned, however, it's impossible to reach a final verdict until AMD allows sites to publish full benchmarks next week.

Jerome Horwitz dies at 93; developed potent anti-AIDS drug AZT

Jerome Horwitz, a medical researcher at Wayne State University in Detroit, had spent more than a decade developing a drug he hoped would work against cancer. But the compound failed to help the lab mice he tested it on, so in 1970 he "dumped it on the junk pile," wrote up his disappointing findings and moved on. He didn't bother applying for a patent.

What Horwitz didn't know was that the drug ? AZT ? was destined for success.

Almost 20 years after he had begun his work, scientists at the National Cancer Institute discovered AZT slowed the development of what had been thought to be an untreatable scourge, AIDS. In 1987, AZT became the first drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use against the disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus, HIV.

The drug company that patented and marketed AZT helped establish a chair at Wayne State in Horwitz's name, but the chemist never shared a penny of the billions of dollars made because of his work. As he told the Chronicle of Higher Education many years later, "if I was ever bitter, it's long since passed" because of the millions of lives AZT has saved.

Once described as "one of academe's most under-recognized inventors," Horwitz died Sept. 6 in West Bloomfield Township, Mich. He was 93 and had heart problems, said his wife, Sharon Horwitz.

Horwitz "didn't have a patent, he didn't make money, but there is no question that what he did really dramatically accelerated the development of anti-retroviral drugs," Dr. Paul Volberding, director of the AIDS Research Institute at UC San Francisco, said this week. "It's impossible to be sure, but it would have taken a considerably longer time without his pioneering work."

When AZT made headlines in the 1980s, Horwitz briefly held the spotlight: People magazine named him one of the 25 most intriguing people of 1986 and he appeared on television news shows.

AZT was a controversial therapy because of its harsh side effects and prohibitive price ? about $8,000 a year. It has largely been replaced by less toxic drugs. But Horwitz developed two other drugs that have remained in the anti-AIDS/HIV arsenal, including dideoxycytidine, the second drug approved for AIDS patients, and stauvudine.

Horwitz also created a solution called X-Gal that is widely used to identify proteins.

"I didn't patent it ? story of my life," he told the Chronicle upon his retirement from Wayne State in 2005.

Horwitz was in his 80s when he shared in a five-year, $900,000 grant from the National Cancer Institute to refine drugs capable of treating solid tumors. That work led to Horwitz's first royalty check at 86.

Born in Detroit on Jan. 16, 1919, Horwitz was the son of a businessman who sold poultry. Disinclined to spend his life cleaning up chicken coops, he found his own path early in his teens, when he read "Microbe Hunters" by Paul de Kruif, a 1926 classic about groundbreaking scientists. "A light bulb went on," Horwitz recalled in the Detroit News in 2001. "I knew what I wanted to do."

He graduated with a degree in chemistry from the University of Detroit in 1942, earning a master's there two years later. Barred from World War II service because of high school football injuries, he went on to the University of Michigan and obtained a doctorate in chemistry in 1948.

In 1951, he joined the Illinois Institute of Technology, where he was part of a team developing solid rocket fuels for the Navy. He did not enjoy working with explosive materials, however, and in 1955 returned to Detroit to work at what became the Michigan Cancer Foundation. It is now called the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute at Wayne State University.

In addition to his wife, Horwitz is survived by two daughters and five grandchildren.

In 1964, with the war on cancer in full swing, many scientists were randomly pulling drugs off the shelf to test their potential as anti-cancer agents, but Horwitz found this approach intellectually unsatisfying. He wanted to analyze the cancer cells and design a drug that would disrupt their growth.

Knowing that the cells divide using raw materials called nucleosides, he created what he called "fraudulent nucleosides" that were so similar to the real thing the cell would be tricked into using them. The fakes, he theorized, would gum up the cell's replication machinery and halt the development of the tumor.

Horwitz was ahead of his time in his approach, now called "rational drug design." Instead of trial-and-error, rational drug designers create a drug for a specific biological target, such as a cancer cell.

"He was able to take his scientific understanding and say ... 'I am going to devote my life to design a therapy that will strike at the heart of the disease,' " said Wei-Zen Wei, a longtime colleague and associate director at the Karmanos Cancer Institute. "At the time it was risky. He took a chance."

When Horwitz tested AZT, or azidothymidine, on leukemic mice, nothing happened. He admitted defeat and didn't think about it again until the mid-1980s, when scientists were randomly testing drugs in a frantic search for one that would combat AIDS.

At the National Cancer Institute, a group of researchers found the compound curbed the activity of HIV, a strange virus from a family known as retroviruses. Retroviruses were barely known at the time of Horwitz's work on the drug.

Horwitz learned that AZT had come back to life when a colleague pointed out a report on the results published by the researchers in 1985.

"My colleagues and I said that we had a very interesting set of compounds," he told the New York Times in 1986, "that were just waiting for the right disease."

Cell phone addiction has a name, and yes - Phone Arena

While certainly not as debilitating as other chemical based addictions, nomophobia has its first recovery center in southern California.? Nomophobia is the term created by British researchers in 2008 to identify people who experience anxiety when they have no access to mobile technology.

A more recent survey by SecurEnvoy found that 41% of people interviewed had two phones or more.? Half of those indicated they would be upset if a partner looked at messages or texts on their devices.? The numbers get really interesting when you look at specific demographics.

70% of women, compared to 61% of men, worry about losing their cell phone.? However, men are more likely than women to have two phones, 47% to 36%.? Not surprisingly, the younger age groups have higher numbers of people that would feel distress of being without their mobile phone.? In the 18-24 age group, 77% revealed nomophobia.? In the 25-34 group, that number drops marginally to 68%.? What may come as a surprise is that the third-most nomophobic group was the age-55 and over group.

According to medical definitions, needing ?anything? in order to feel at ease or normal is technically a disability.? The Morningside Recovery Center in Newport Beach, California has founded the first recovery group for those affected by nomophobia.? The group environment is designed to help those learn to see the signs and symptoms of their addiction to mobile devices.

What seems interesting is that some of the arguments to develop a treatment program cite symptoms that many of us observe as a result of over-using the technology as well.? For example, people who rely on their phones to communicate their emotional state and become obsessed with always having access to ?being connected,? they become vulnerable to isolating themselves.? The same thing apparently happens if nomophobic person is separated from their beloved gadget(s) and the result is the same, more isolation and less interaction with other people.

Morningside Recovery Center is ready to assist those who may be contending with nomophobia: if you are unable to turn your phone off ? ever, or if you obsess over battery usage and constantly check for new messages, those may be signs.? In addition, constant checking for calls or taking your device with you to the bathroom may be part of the symptomatic reality of nomophobia.? Should you make the call to the recovery center, just beware that Newport Beach is among the wealthiest and most affluent communities in the world, so treatment likely does not come cheap.

For the rest of us, do not forget your smartphone when you have to visit the restroom or water closet.

In birds' development, researchers find diversity by the peck

Tuesday, September 25, 2012
In order to observe gene expression in the developing bullfinch embryos, Mallarino and a team of Harvard undergraduate field assistants had to collect eggs from wild nests in the Dominican Republic, Barbados, and Puerto Rico. In accordance with strict fieldwork regulations, Mallarino's team collected only every third egg laid, which required them to return to the nests daily, climbing dozens of trees and cacti to carefully label every new egg. Laden with radios, notebooks, markers, heavy ladders, and a special foam crate for the delicate eggs, the team ventured into remote field sites at the crack of dawn and returned to camp before noon to incubate those they collected.

It has long been known that diversity of form and function in birds' specialized beaks is abundant. Charles Darwin famously studied the finches on the Galapagos Islands, tying the morphology (shape) of various species' beaks to the types of seeds they ate. In 2010, a team of Harvard biologists and applied mathematicians showed that Darwin's finches all actually shared the same developmental pathways, using the same gene products, controlling just size and curvature, to create 14 very different beaks.

Now, expanding that work to a less closely related group of birds, the Caribbean bullfinches, that same team at Harvard has uncovered something exciting?namely, that the molecular signals that produce those beak shapes show even more variation than is apparent on the surface. Not only can two very different beaks share the same developmental pathway, as in Darwin's finches, but two very different developmental pathways can produce exactly the same shaped beak.

"Most people assume that there's this flow of information from genes for development to an inevitable morphology," says principal investigator Arhat Abzhanov, Associate Professor of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology (OEB). "Those beaks are very highly adaptive in their shapes and sizes, and extremely important for these birds. In Darwin's finches, even one millimeter of difference in proportion or size can mean life or death during difficult times. But can we look at it from a bioengineering perspective and say that in order to generate the exact same morphological shape, you actually require the same developmental process to build it? Our latest research suggests not."

The findings have been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The Caribbean bullfinches, geographic and genetic neighbors to Darwin's finches, are a group of three similar-looking species that represent two different branches of the evolutionary tree. These bullfinches have very strong bills that are all exactly the same geometric shape but slightly different sizes.

"They specialize in seeds that no one else can touch," explains Abzhanov. "You'd actually need a pair of pliers to crack these seeds yourself; it takes 300 to 400 Newtons of force, so that's a really nice niche if you can do that. But the question is, what developmental changes must have occurred to produce a specialized beak like that?"

A new and highly rigorous genomic analysis by coauthor Kevin J. Burns, a biologist at San Diego State University, has shown that among the three Caribbean bullfinch species, this crushing type of beak actually evolved twice, independently. Convergent evolution like this is common in nature, and very familiar to biologists. But understanding that phylogeny enabled Abzhanov, lead author Ricardo Mallarino (a former Ph.D. student in OEB at the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences), and colleagues in applied mathematics at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) to perform a series of mathematical and morphogenetic studies showing that the birds form those identical beaks in completely different ways. Such studies must, by their nature, be performed early in the embryonic stage of the birds' development, when the shape and tissue structure of the beak is determined by the interactions of various genes and proteins.

"In the small bullfinch you have almost a two-stage rocket system," says Abzhanov. "Cartilage takes you halfway, and then bone kicks in and delivers the beak to the right shape. Without either stage, you'll fail. In the larger bullfinches, the cartilage is not even employed, so it's like a single-stage rocket, but it's got this high-energy, synergistic interaction between two molecules that just takes the bone and drives its development straight to the right shape."

In embryos of the small bullfinch, Loxigilla noctis, the control genes used are Bmp4 and CaM, followed by TGF?IIr, ?-catenin, and Dkk3, the same combination used in Darwin's finches. Embryos of the larger bullfinches, L. violacea and L. portoricensis, use a novel combination of just Bmp4 and Ihh.

"Importantly," Abzhanov says, "despite the fact that these birds are using different systems, they end up with the same shape beak, and a different shape beak from Darwin's finches. So that reveals a surprising amount of flexibility in both the shapes and the molecular interactions that support them."

The finding offers new insight into the ways birds?the largest and most diverse group of land vertebrates?have managed to adaptively fill so many different ecological niches.

"It is possible that even if the beak shape doesn't change over time, the program that builds it does," explains Abzhanov. "For evolution, the main thing that matters for selection is what the beak actually looks like at the end, or specifically what it can do. The multiple ways to build that beak can be continually changing, provided they deliver the same results. That flexibility by itself could be a good vehicle for eventually developing novel shapes, because the developmental program is not frozen."

Following a standard process in studies of developmental biology, Abzhanov's team began with measurements of the morphological differences between species, followed by observations of gene expression in bullfinch embryos and functional experiments using chicken embryos. Along the way, mathematical models helped the team to quantify and categorize the beak shapes they were seeing.

"We used geometric morphometric analysis, looking at these beaks as curves," says coauthor Michael Brenner, Glover Professor of Applied Mathematics and Applied Physics at SEAS and Harvard College Professor. "The beak shapes would turn into contours, contours were digitized into curvatures, and curvatures were turned into representative mathematical formulas. This provided our biology colleagues with an unbiased way of determining which of the different species had beak shapes that were identical up to scaling transformations, and which were in a completely different group."

In order to observe gene expression in the developing bullfinch embryos, Mallarino and a team of undergraduate field assistants had to collect eggs from wild nests in the Dominican Republic, Barbados, and Puerto Rico. The birds breed in dome-shaped nests with small side entrances, often in the tops of tall cacti. In accordance with strict fieldwork regulations, Mallarino's team collected only every third egg laid, which required them to return to the nests daily, climbing dozens of trees and cacti to carefully label every new egg. Laden with radios, notebooks, markers, heavy ladders, and a special foam crate for the delicate eggs, the team ventured into remote field sites at the crack of dawn and returned to camp before noon to incubate those they collected.

"They're much more fragile than a chicken egg, and extremely small," says Mallarino. "We just walk very carefully."

"It's a big logistical operation," he adds. "It's five months of really, really hard work under the sun in crazy conditions, but when it works it's really rewarding. At day 6 or 7 you have a perfect, live embryo with a beak beginning to form, and you can learn so much about it."

The next step in this work is to widen the lens yet again and compare the morphological development of a broader group of birds.

"In time, hopefully we'll see how the great diversity that you see among all these highly adaptive bird beaks may actually evolve at the genetic level," says Mallarino. "That's the greater challenge."

The New Fashion for Market Atheism - Center for Christian Business ...

This economy is not just a bad time economically; it is a crisis about Capitalism. There is a new fashion for market atheism. The market doesn?t work, Capitalism is bad! There is more than a hint of wistful nostalgia for Communism. Well, nostalgia ain?t what it used to be. While Communism was seen as an alternative for many decades, its failure, which largely was an economic implosion that killed millions, showed there is only one, albeit imperfect, economic system.

Communism was mythological.? It?s funny how we are told to ?grow up? about religion, yet secularists cling to the childlike myths of communism or a world where capitalism can be no more. Protesters, media headlines, the guy on Main Street all ask the same questions: What does it do for us? Why is it not providing? Why are we being punished? All these questions come pouring out, as if the economy is God-like.

And indeed, there is a spiritual parallel. When we go through a bad patch or something horrible happens, we ask why did God let that happen? Where?s God when you need him? Seeing suffering in the world, a child dying of cancer, becomes a reason to deny the existence of a loving God.

Like God, the economy is in the dock. We charge the economy with our failings. Like in a courtroom drama, the language gets twisted and we are determined to get a conviction, and lay the blame on others: fat-cats, big corporations, and all those others who seem to benefit.

The reality is different. The economy has put us in the dock. How fiscally responsible were we, as individuals, as companies or as government when the times were good? How prepared were we for the downturn? Just as surely as we know we will face tough spiritual times, we face tough financial times, so we have to wonder why we were not prepared.

In the divine economy, what is needed is good discipleship with good stewardship. In both cases, we cannot be fair weather friends of God and the economy. Yet, this economy has exposed this is the case. I didn?t hear folks complaining about their rising pay or rising value of their properties during the good times. Why during the bad times?

When things are going good for us, some thank God while others think ?I did that!? When things are going bad for us, some blame God, while others say ?it?s not my fault, why did this happen to me?? Of course, there are times when events are beyond our control and we get hit badly. But then again, there are times when we get that little piece of luck or opportunity that gives us the big break we were looking for.

Just as there is never a good time to deny God, this is not a good time for market atheism either. The economy needs folks to believe if it is to get going and support us again. The nation needs confidence to invest and innovate to solve the problems of this economy, not the dog-in-a-manger feeling-sorry-for-ourselves attitude that currently dogs this economy. This attitude is suppressing business, and investors are scared to commit their funds, to risk their capital. The economy needs capital at risk, it is called opportunity, and it makes the economy strong.

We become spiritually strong when we realize God is not about giving handouts to us, but when we reach out our hand to Him and take the risk of walking with Him through whatever weather lays ahead on our path, sunshine or storm. In this economy, we need to know that there will always be changeable economic weather ahead, which means right now we need to weather the storm, so when the sun shines on us once more we remember where we have travelled these past few years and act fiscally responsible when the next storm hits.

Mad Men vs. Crazy Clients panel

NY/IABC brought together on September 19 GE's vice president of communications and public affairs, Gary Sheffer; Weber Shandwick's president, Andy Polansky; Korn/Ferry's managing director, Richard Marshall; and moderator Valerie Di Maria, principal of the10company for a discussion on how to develop successful client/agency relationships.

All panelists agreed that a true partnership between a client and its agency is necessary in order to achieve mutual success. An agency is akin to a new team member and both parties must feel the relationship is a cultural fit.

Keys for the client are:
?Be invested in the agency and the communications program
?Participate in the planning and execution process
?Provide the agency with the tools it needs to succeed

The agency must:
?Take the time to really understand the client
?Be able to sell an idea as well as deliver on a plan
?Listen and adapt to the client?s needs
?Constantly think strategically and challenge the status quo rather than settling into a daily routine

World Baseball Classic Qualifier Regensburg Game Two: Czech Republic vs Germany

REGENSBURG, Germany?

Matt Weaver slugged a grand slam to cap an eight-run fifth inning and pitcher Mike Bolsenbroek struck out six and let only one ball out of the infield to lead host Germany to a 16-1 rout of the Czech Republic in Friday night's opening-round game of a World Baseball Classic qualifying series.

The victory moves Germany into a Saturday night matchup against Canada, which defeated Great Britain in the series opener on Thursday. Britain and the Czech Republic will meet in a Saturday day game.

The winner of the double-elimination tournament in Regensburg -- one of four being played around the world this fall -- will qualify for the 2013 World Baseball Classic. The winners of the four qualifying series will join 12 teams already in the field for the WBC, whose finals are scheduled for AT&T Park in San Francisco in March.

Germany's Eric Suttle opened the bottom of the first with a ground-rule double to right center. He and Matt Vance, who was hit by a pitch from Czech starter Michal Sobotka, came around to score on a triple by Max Kepler, who later scored on a groundout to make it 3-0.

The Czech Republic cut into that lead in the fifth with its only run of the game. Jakub Sladek walked to start the inning and he went to third on an infield single by Martin Drong. Sladek crossed the plate after Bolsenbroek threw wild on a pickoff attempt.

Germany's eight-run fifth began when Toby Gardenhire doubled to left and then Suttle beat out a bunt. Gardenhire scored on a sacrifice bunt. An error, a single and three walks combined to produce three more runs before Weaver mashed a bases-loaded pitch from Czech reliever Petr Minarik high over the left field fence.

Germany added five more runs in the sixth, the final one coming when Jendrick Speer was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. At that point, the umpires invoked the 15-run rule to end the game.

Bolsenbroek allowed five hits in 5.2 innings, but none of the hits left the infield. The only action for the German outfielders was a flyout to right by Matej Hejma to end the fourth inning.

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Americans' wealth dipped about 0.5 percent in the April-June quarter as a drop in stock prices more than offset a gain in home values.

Yet since June, a resurgent stock market has jumped about 7 percent, more than reversing last quarter's 3 percent drop in stock prices. And it's brought many Americans closer to regaining the wealth they lost to the recession ? if they managed to keep their home and have invested in stocks.

Rising wealth could give many people and businesses the confidence to step up spending and boost U.S. economic growth and job creation. That's a key goal of the bond-buying plan the Federal Reserve unveiled last week. The Fed hopes to drive interest rates down and stock prices up.

Household net worth fell to $62.7 trillion in the April-June quarter, according to a Federal Reserve report released Thursday. A 2.1 percent increase in home values added $355 billion. But the value of stock holdings fell about $600 billion.

Household wealth, or net worth, reflects the value of assets like homes, bank accounts and stocks minus debts like mortgages and credit cards. It peaked before the recession at $67.4 trillion.

Americans' net worth has risen 22.5 percent from its low of $51.2 trillion reached in early 2009, in the depths of the recession. But it's still about 7 percent below the pre-recession peak.

Bill Hampel, chief economist at the Credit Union National Association, calculates that Americans will add $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion to their net worth in the current July-September quarter. That would bring their net worth to about 4.3 percent below its pre-recession peak.

"We're not there yet, but we're getting close," Hampel said. "Households are rebuilding their capacity to spend."

The Fed report also found that:

? Americans borrowed more in the April-June quarter ? only the second increase in the past 17 quarters. Mortgage debt declined for the 13th straight quarter. But Americans are taking on more student and auto loans.

? After-tax incomes have risen a bit, making debts slightly easier to manage. U.S. household debt equaled about 103 percent of after-tax income in the April-June quarter. That was down from 104 percent in the first quarter. The ratio had soared to nearly 125 percent at the height of the housing bubble, up from about 90 percent during the 1990s.

? U.S. homes were worth about $16.9 trillion in the April-June quarter, up from a bottom of about $16.1 trillion. That's far below the $22.7 trillion reached in 2006, at the peak of the bubble.

? Americans' holdings of stocks and mutual funds fell to $14.3 trillion, down from $14.9 trillion in the first quarter.

? Corporations have begun to spend some of the cash stockpiles they built during the recession. Corporations held $1.73 trillion cash at the end of the April-June quarter, down from $1.75 trillion in the first quarter. If the trend continues, it could signal that companies are investing and expanding more, which could lead to more hiring.
