With many Temple Terrace residents finding themselves battling the fevers, sniffles, coughs and body aches so common with the flu, we thought it was time to ask the experts about this bug that has so many down and out.
Myths surrounding this illness are common, and St. Joseph's Hospitals' infection prevention and control manager Elizabeth "Liz" Moseley, RN, BSN, CIC, agreed to answer some of our questions about the troublesome condition.
Patch: Does the flu shot cause the flu?
Moseley: The flu shot cannot give you the flu. Common side effects from the flu shot are sore arm, low fever and achiness. The nasal-spray flu vaccine can cause side effects of runny nose, sore throat or cough. If someone does experience any of these side effects, they are mild and don't last long.
Patch: Is the stomach flu a form of the flu?
Moseley: The stomach flu is not the same thing as Influenza. Signs and symptoms of flu (Influenza) are fever, cough, sore throat, runny/stuffy nose, body aches, headache, and feeling fatigued or very tired. Some people have vomiting and diarrhea, but this is more common in children than adults.
Patch: Is the flu shot dangerous?
Moseley: The flu vaccine has been given for more than 50 years and has a good safety record. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration closely monitor the safety of the vaccine every year.
Patch: Young, healthier people don't need a flu shot?
Moseley: Anyone can get sick from the flu, even young healthy individuals. Older people, young children, pregnant women and people with certain medical conditions (like asthma, diabetes, etc) are at higher risk from the flu, however healthy adults, kids and teens can get the flu and become very sick from it.
Patch: Are antibiotics useful in treating the flu?
Moseley: Antibiotics only treat bacteria and Influenza (the flu) is a virus. Antibiotics will not treat the flu virus.
Patch: Is it too early in the season to get a shot?
Moseley: As long as the flu season isn't over, it's not too late to get vaccinated. Flu seasons can be unpredictable. Flu season typically begins in the fall and lasts into the spring. If you haven't gotten your flu shot, it's not too late, go get vaccinated.

Everyday should be Mother's Day, not because of the extraordinary but because of the mundane and the resulting spin that keeps insanity at bay.
Have you been or recently seen a "mother on the edge"? They are all around you, potty-training two-year olds and driving gaggles of teenagers home from after-school activities. They are lurking just outside the preschool classroom, nervous wrecks as their children leave them for the first time. They are celebrating at the bus stop the first day the kids go back to school after Spring Break. They are eagerly plotting a trip to the college recruiter one minute and boo-hooing at graduation the next. They are illogical and emotionally unstable; therefore in everyone's best interest we choose to celebrate them every May.
As a child, I had an inkling that motherhood may involve a certain amount of wackiness. Like all children, I was sure that these tendencies were specific to only my mother; thus my brother and I tested them at every opportunity. We managed to watch my mother "lose it" on more than one occasion, much to the amusement of our father. In honor of all mothers, I choose to remember mine:
Dear Mother,
Because of you, I learned to appreciate a rapport with both the natural and man-made worlds. "Death by Chrysler": 4000 pounds of American-made steel in the ultimate death match against a 3 pound snake. The rutmarks left in the front yard from the 17-point turn that it took in order to pin the snake remain forever etched in my mind.
Because of you, I learned the power of persistence. When my father chose to wear overalls on a regular basis, you relayed to him in a powerful way just how unattractive they were. Not only did your contrive the bedroom-themed threat, you followed through until he realized it was in his own best interest to discard the offending items.
Because of you, I learned the true nature of fear. When faced with the possibility of a Daddy-Long-Leg losing hold and falling on you from a tree branch above, you (a non-swimmer) chose to avert the impending danger by tipping over the canoe and all contents therein chancing possible drowning.
Because of you, I learned the importance of self-preservation. When faced with the task of grooming your father-in-law's nostril hair, you readily volunteered your daughter instead and fled the scene—suddenly remembering an important errand left undone.
Because of you I learned the art of "being in the zone". You had the power to ignore things that would cause other people to wear straight-jackets. Your OCD tendencies provided hours of entertainment as you would straighten the pictures we made crooked, or combed the rug-fringe we flipped up.
Because of you, I have learned to laugh at the things that would make me cry—and to cry at the things that would make me laugh. I have learned to stopper my emotions with sarcasm and wit, and then release them full-force at the worst moments possible.
Every day should be Mother's Day, not because of some government mandate—but just because; because you are more than just a mother, you are a best friend.
What have you learned from your mother? Share your story in the comments!

Doris White is a Republican. She's also 67 and on Medicare and so far she hasn't made up her mind how she'll vote in the 6th Congressional District race between incumbent Democrat Ben Chandler and Republican challenger Andy Barr.
"That's a tough one," she said of the choice between Barr and Chandler. "No, I haven't made up my mind yet." But she said the determining factor in her final decision will be Medicare.
White was at the Lexington Senior Center on Thursday morning for bingo. But before the games began, Chandler showed up to talk to a constituency he sees as key to his re-election: seniors who depend on Social Security and Medicare "to retire with dignity," as Chandler put it.
With him was 88-year-old former Sen. Wendell Ford, who told the crowd he has been "retired for about 12 years and I've been using Medicare and Social Security for 12 years." He said his wife had undergone heart surgery, the hospital bill was $85,000, and "If we hadn't had Medicare, we'd have been bankrupt."

Foods labeled as "whole grain" are not always as healthful as their labels would lead you to believe, says a new study from the Harvard School of Public Health.
The benefits of a diet rich in whole grains are well established, including lower risks of cardiovascular disease, weight gain, and Type 2 diabetes. But the researchers found that many products that carry the Whole Grain Stamp—while higher in fiber and lower in trans fats—are also high in sugars and calories.
The American Heart Association's standard proved to be the best indicator of healthfulness. Products meeting this ratio were higher in fiber and lower in trans fats, sugar, and sodium, without the higher calories of foods that didn't meet the ratio.
The Whole Grains Council, which created the Whole Grain Stamp, responded that its stamp is intended to indicate that a product contains a meaningful amount of whole grains and does not necessarily indicate its overall healthfulness.
Spokesperson Cynthia Harriman told FoodNavigator-USA that the Harvard study "is faulting the stamp for failing to do something it was never designed to do."
She added that many categories of whole-grain foods that bear the stamp were not tested, including pasta, oatmeal, and rice. "This is not a representative sample," she said.
The Harvard researchers are calling for a more consistent, evidence-based standard for identifying whole-grain products to help consumers make better choices.
"Given the significant prevalence of refined grains, starches, and sugars in modern diets, identifying a unified criterion to identify higher quality carbohydrates is a key priority in public health," said lead researcher Rebecca Mozaffarian, MPH.

As some Lakota make an annual pilgrimage on horseback to Wounded Knee in memory of Sitting Bull's death, we'll pull out some of the lesser known threads of the legacy of this complex leader and American icon. And we'll explore why his spiritual character has animated his own people in the last three decades more openly than at any time since his death in 1890.
A listener grapples with our show and Sitting Bull's legacy.
A complicated history deserves some detailed research.
A brief clip of of archival audio (1946) about Sitting Bull's signature that we found while doing research for this show.

Work the Shell - <emphasis>Yahtzee</emphasis> as a Shell Script? When Will It End?
We seem to spend a lot of time talking about games and how to program them as shell scripts, don't we? From Blackjack to Baccarat, we're in danger of having to rename this column "game programming in the shell". But, that'd be crazy; who in the heck would write multiple games as shell scripts?
So, this month, I thought it would be fun to look at a dice game and see how the basic set of playing card functions we've written previously compare to the necessary functions to play a dice game.
Yahtzee was first introduced by Hasbro in 1956 as Yacht (having been invented by a wealthy couple on their fancy boat) and has been one of its best-selling titles since, spawning many variants, including hand-held electronic games and more. At its heart though, it's basically five-card draw poker played with dice. The wrinkle is that there are a set number of possible hands you can roll, and you attempt to achieve them all to maximize your score.
For example, roll a 3 4 4 4 5, and you might well pick up the 3 and the 5, hoping for either "your fours" (which you can get only once and want to choose when you have the maximum number of fours showing), or if you get five of a kind, a "Yahtzee", which is a big-points bonus but obviously difficult to achieve.
Like five-card draw, you can pick up zero to five dice and reroll them, but unlike five-card draw, you can do this twice on your turn, not once. So, perhaps the 3 4 4 4 5 rerolls as a 1 4 4 4 4. The second roll would then be to reroll the one and hope for another four. Either way, it's a good roll (unless you've already marked your fours).
Dice are quite easy to create in a script—so easy it reveals how straightforward a script like liar's dice would be to write:
function rollDie() { dieroll=$(( ( $RANDOM % 6 ) + 1 )) }
If it's this easy to roll a die, though (dice, by the way, is plural of die), it'd be darn easy to write a quick Dungeons and Dragons dice roller too, as shown:
function rollDie() { sides=${1:-6} echo "testing with a $sides-sided die...." dieroll=$(( ( $RANDOM % $sides ) + 1 )) }
All you need to do is call rollDie with the number of sides you want on the dice it needs to roll. Using a 20-sided die? Try rollDie 20 to see what rolls.
This also can quickly and easily be converted into a command-line function, so you could be a real D&D nerd by having a laptop adjacent and typing in roll 20 every time you're actually supposed to roll the die.
But back to Yahtzee, yes? The easy part of modeling the game is the dice rolls. We need to have five dice, and that easily can be done with an array:
rollDie ; dice[0]=$dieroll rollDie ; dice[1]=$dieroll rollDie ; dice[2]=$dieroll rollDie ; dice[3]=$dieroll rollDie ; dice[4]=$dieroll
There, that's your first roll of the five dice. Displaying the results also is easy:
echo "You rolled " ${dice[0]} ${dice[1]} ${dice[2]} ${dice[3]} ${dice[4]}
Note carefully where I do and don't need to use the curly braces to get the array to work properly in the shell. Try this to see how it differs:
echo "You rolled " $dice[0] $dice[1]
Quite different results, as you can see. (And, as usual with shell programming, there's no useful warnings or error messages to clue you in to what might be wrong.)
Rolling the dice to get an initial hand is pretty straightforward, so let's take the next step and write the code to let you reroll any or all of the five dice twice to get your final hand.
There are a number of ways to ask for this sort of input, but to make it a bit chatty, let's simply present each die in ordinal value and let the player enter the appropriate number to indicate that it should be rerolled. Um, let me show you what I mean:
echo -n "Reroll which dice? " read answer for reroll in $answer do echo "Requested: $reroll" done
Here, you might specify that you want die 1 and 3 rerolled by typing in 1 3. Tweaking this just a bit, the for loop then can test for the validity of each entry:
for reroll in $answer do if [ $reroll -lt 1 -o $reroll -gt 5 ] ; then echo "Invalid entry: $reroll. Please enter 1-5" else echo "Requested: $reroll" fi done
Now, of course, it's time for some actual logic here, not merely a rudimentary test. I've simplified things just a wee bit by using array indices 1–5 rather than 0–4, sacrificing the slot of entry 0 so that it's easier to work with the values. This means if you ask to reroll die 4, for example, it's just a reassignment of dice[4].
Here's the new, improved for loop:
for reroll in $answer do if [ $reroll -lt 1 -o $reroll -gt 5 ] ; then echo "Invalid entry: $reroll. Please enter 1-5" else rollDie dice[$reroll]=$dieroll fi done
You can see that it's quite simple, and if we're not afraid of the code stretching out a bit, we simply can copy and paste some of it to show our before and after rolls:
echo -n "Your new roll: [${dice[1]}], " echo -n "[${dice[2]}], [${dice[3]}], " echo "[${dice[4]}] and [${dice[5]}]"
Let's run it once to see what's happening, and then next month, we'll start working on the actual game itself, rather than just the dice rolls:
$ ./yahtzee.sh You rolled [2], [6], [5], [2] and [1] Reroll which dice? 2 3 5 Your new roll: [2], [2], [4], [2] and [5]
Yes, I snuck in the notation of having the dice values shown within square brackets just for visual appearance. It makes the echo statements a bit more confusing, as you can see just a bit earlier, but the output is more attractive.

Looking for the Cisco SG300-20 default password? You probably have little reason to access your switch on a regular basis so don't feel too bad if you've forgotten the SG300-20 default password.
However, when you're troubleshooting a network problem and need to get in to the device, the SG300-20 default password suddenly becomes very important.
For most versions of the Cisco SG300-20, the default password is cisco. As with most passwords, the SG300-20 default password is case sensitive.
In addition to the SG300-20 default password, you can also see the SG300-20 default username and SG300-20 default IP address in the table below.
Note: The Cisco SG300-20 default password may be different for certain hardware or firmware versions.
If I have that information, I'll include the exact SG300-20 version number along with the correct default password. You can usually find your Cisco SG300-20 version number on the bottom of the switch.
Be sure to change the default switch password on your SG300-20 to something more secure as soon as you're in. Then use a free password manager so you'll never forget your new SG300-20 password.
Help! The SG300-20 Default Password Doesn't Work!
At some point during the life of your particular Cisco SG300-20, the default password, username, and/or IP address might have been changed.
For most networks, if the Cisco SG300-20 default IP address has been changed, the new IP address for the SG300-20 switch can be determined using tracert, a command available from the Command Prompt in Windows.
See How To Identify Network Hardware IP Addresses on a Local Network if you need help using tracert to find the SG300-20 default IP address.
In situations where the SG300-20 default password or SG300-20 default username has changed, you'll need to reset the Cisco SG300-20 to factory defaults. You can usually do that via a special button or sequence of actions.
The SG300-20 manual will have specific directions for performing a factory default reset. You can download the manual for the SG300-20 from Cisco Support.
Please let me know if any of the SG300-20 default login data below needs updated. For other questions about the SG300-20 default information on this page, see my Default Password FAQ.

CLINTON — A unique fundraising and donation opportunity took place this week in the form of a bone marrow drive at Medical Associates.
The drive is the first of its kind in the area and Terry Adolph and Corinna Waidelich are the reasons it came to existence.
After being diagnosed with non-Hodgkins Lymphoma in September 2009, Adolph has searched for a bone marrow donor and come up short each time.
"Terry's been needing and looking for a match for awhile now so I just said why can't we do something? Why can't we host a drive?" Waidelich said.
She then contacted the University of Iowa for information on creating the event and the rest just fell into place.
"Iowa City talked me through how to organize the event and then I enlisted the help from staff and they have been amazing," Waidelich said. "It has been an amazing day."
With more than 50 donors showing up to register in the National Bone Marrow Program on Wednesday, Adolph feels overwhelmed with the support he has received.
"I am so pleased to see this turnout today," Adolph said. "Even if they don't find my perfect match today, hopefully they find someone's.
When searching for a bone marrow donor there are 10 specific criteria patients and donors must match. To this point, Adolph has only matched seven of the 10.
According to Adolph's wife, Deb, there are more than 11 million people registered with the Be The Match program, but they have yet to find his perfect match.
"They check the system every week to see if new people have registered so the more we get today the better," Deb said.
The event Wednesday did more than register bone marrow donors. The Medical Associates group also hosted a bake sale to help raise money for the cost of testing the samples they receive at the drive.

On Monday, July 21 we will be completely switching over to the new reefable Badger Sloop sails and making some changes to the rigging and de-rigging procedures for the fleet. At this time, you will need to watch a short video that will describe the changes and take an associated quiz before you will be able to check out a Badger Sloop. Starting on Monday, you will be able to access the video and quiz through the Sailing Club website and your rating will be automatically reinstated upon completion of the quiz. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause; this was preferable to attempting to get over 500 members through re-certification lessons.
We are happy to announce the release of the new Hoofer Sailing Club App! The app which was developed by Max Rahder and Towneley Pearson is designed to provide quick and easy access to the following information regarding club operations:
- Wind Direction
- Wind Speed
- Water Temperature
- Current Flag
- Sunset Time
- Boathouse Hours

The Science Behind Bursting Water Balloons [Video]
Come for the water balloons bursting in ultra-slow motion on a glass plate, but stay for the absolutely mesmerizing videos of balloons bursting underwater.
Around 3 minutes into the video the close up shots of the underwater burst looks like some sort of primordial birth of the universe. Who knew slow-motion science could be so fun? (In fairness, we already knew–we love slow motion science experiment videos.) Hit up the link below for a run down on the experiment and some tasty explanatory links.

I got the Rhino re-release of this cd - dvd. I have had the LP forever but haven't listen to it for a while. I forgot how darn good it is! The Rhino version with the dvd doesn't suck thats for sure. Growing up, it was one of my faves from Genesis. I guess it got out of the rotation for about 10 years. I came across the remaster and thought why not.
I also picked up Elton John Tumbleweed & Madman sacd. They are the Island / Rocket release. I didn't realize how much bass Tumbleweed had LOL. My neighbors must hate me today. Grab the EJ sacd while they are still reasonable!

Motorists should be able to drive from Interstate 30 directly to Paris Junior College in Greenville or Greenville High School by the end of January.
Director of Public Works Massoud Ebrahim said work on constructing the Monty Stratton Parkway almost done.
"We are wrapping up," Ebrahim said. "If the weather cooperates with us, by the end of this month we should be able to open the road."
The parkway will be two concrete lanes with a raised median and open ditches on either side between the interstate and Lions Lair Road. A sidewalk will run along one side of the roadway and two crossovers were included under the project.
One of the crossovers will allow access to the Greenville SportsPark and the other will allow for a direct connection between the high school and the college.
Ebrahim said crews are installing lights in the median and hydromulching along the roadway.
"Just odds and ends," Ebrahim said. "The project is 99 percent completed."
Ground was broken in May, and the L.H. Lacy Company is the contractor on the project.
If the area does develop as expected, the parkway can be expanded to the originally planned four lanes, with a bike trail.

MONROE, N.C. -- An Airman from Monroe based in Japan is still fighting for his life after a bad car accident last month left him in a coma.
Bryce Powers, 20, is a 2010 graduate of Piedmont High School who was injured during an October 13 wreck in Misawa, Japan.
An ammunition trooper, Powers lost control of the car he was driving and hit a cement pole around 2 p.m. while driving a small Suzuki Cappuccino. A female passenger with Powers was also injured.
Hours later parents Cathy and Jim Powers woke up to a nerving phone call from the Air Force. Cathy was on the next flight overseas and has been by Bryce's side ever since the news. Jim, an Air Force Veteran himself, has yet to see his son in person after the wreck.
"Their seatbelts saved their lives," Cathy said on Friday from Okinawa, Japan.
Jim Powers couldn't be more proud of his 20 year old son, Bryce. He followed in his father's footsteps as an Airman in the U.S Air Force stationed in Japan for the past year.
"He was always call on Saturday and always talk to me cause we had something related, he was doing the same job I did," said Jim Powers.
But the last call Jim and his wife Cathy got wasn't from Bryce it was from his lieutenant.
"At 7:00 am is when we got the call, he was in an accident, and we had to get over there to Japan as fast as possible," said Powers.
Still in a coma, Powers is scheduled to fly in a C-135 plane from Japan to Hawaii early Saturday morning to get more medical attention and undergo more surgery. The plane carrying him had trouble after departing from Misawa, so Bryce and Cathy have been stuck and waiting in Okinawa for the last few days.
The other woman in the wreck, a trooper as well, came out of a coma last month and is recovering well, Cathy said.
Friends and family members have set up a Facebook group as well as a Facebook page to provide updates on Powers' progress. The page already has 4,000 likes.
In one post on Friday morning, Powers' mom wrote, "We are so thankful to be heading out to Hawaii, and to be back on U.S. soil. There were no changes with Bryce medically today. He is resting comfortably."
Powers was in the Junior ROTC program at Piedmont HS and was named to the ROTC commander two years ago.
Bryce woke up from his coma for about two-and-a-half hours on October 24.
"I asked him if he could hear me," his mom said. "Ever since that day he has not woken up again. His eyes are just staring out."
Doctors have told her that Bryce's brain is like jello now, but Air Force officials have told her they still believe he can recover.
"I cry a lot, even today. There's nothing I can do except fight for him." "I love him so much."
Bryce's sister, 16-year-old Madi, is a student at South Piedmont Community College. Ironically, she wants to be a neurologist.
"Her brother needs her," Cathy Powers quipped. "She wants to be here (with Bryce), but she can't miss school."
The family has set up a website to help raise money to send both Madi and Jim over to Hawaii to visit Bryce, who wanted to join the Air Force ever since he was five years old.

These Are the Days of Our Lives by Queen RIP Freddie Mercury
These Are the Days of Our Lives by Queen RIP Freddie Mercury
Soooo sad. The fact that he's singing this with such peace and joy, regardless of the fact that he's dying is what makes this so, so sad.
Rest in Peace dear friend
He was bi.
I still love you
That last I still love you was definitly for Mary Austin.
hes so thin looking and his hair looks terrible i heard he shot this a little before his death, so sad to loose such a talent.
this song and the show must go on definetly were written about him… we love you Freddie
QUEEN should be awarded a live time achievement award after all we do play "We are the Champions" before all of the sports games.
@MissSleepers I so agree. He was Queen. He was my favourite part of Queen.
You'd have to not like music to not like Queen.
@luvhatesyndrome -sorry even HE doesn't want Justin and those others!
Damn it Freddie…I would have been fine with you being gay if you werent having butt sex and shit and then going and dying on me…
Is there any way that us in this site and others who loves Freddie and Queen could appeal to the grammys by opening a site where people can vote or post why they think Freddie and Queen should get like a lifetime acheivement award? or something of that caliber i just think it's way past time for something like that to happen. I know there are people who can organize this please let me know i can't do it alone i don't even know where to start but together anything is possible.
@renabanena He had a range over four octaves ; ). Also, John Deacon wrote this.
@luvhatesyndrome Your awesome!!!
I love you Freddie, always! cant wait to see that concert in the sky my friend.
There's something about a performer who can own a stage like an emperor, who reaches towards heaven with an outstretched arm and grabs it. Some performers are exquisitely sensitive musicians who knows the minds of his fellow performers and makes them his own, who can raise his melody to a thunder or lower it to a whisper. Some can say so much just by raising an eyebrow. Only the very best can own every aspect of performing. Freddie was even better than them.
@tcbfla Wow..How powerful, I couldnt have said it any better.
It makes me sad that I'll never be able to see Freddie in concert. Screw Bieber, Cyrus, and other artists that will never write a masterpiece like this and don't have a 3 octave range.
R.I.P Freddie. Although you died before I was even born, I still love you <3
nice song.
this the last video Freddie Mercury made before he pass away.
he was very sick when he made this video
@a2r1v1i2s I agree, well said.:(
his death kind of symbolized a death of a genre of Rock N' Roll. I still think this is queens most beautiful song, as I get teary eyed hearing it. especially knowing how hard it was for him at the end. RIP Freddie, and thank you for inspiring me.
were the animations supposed be there for the and i liked it
Freddie your still the man………

Code interlude – signals and slots
This article is by Ray Rischpater, author of the book Application Development with Qt Creator. In software systems, there is often the need to couple different objects. Ideally, this coupling should be loose, that is, not dependent on the system's compile-time configuration. This is especially obvious when you consider user interfaces; for example, a button press may adjust the contents of a text widget or cause something to appear or disappear. Many systems use events for this purpose; components offering data encapsulate that data in an event, and an event loop (or, more recently, an event listener) catches the event and performs some action.Read Code interlude – signals and slots in full

Mastroianni too. People seem to forget he OPSed nearly the same as Hicks last ST, when he was healthy.
No AB's for Clete Thomas and Doug Bernier will help. If Plouffe and Parmelee are struggling again they can be replaced easier this year by Sano, Kubel. If Centerfield is as bad as last year they may just bring up Buxton. So I think there is some hope for improvement by subtraction.
Nice article Nick. I tried to make some of the same arguments in the Florimon thread. I'm curious to see how others respond. I had forgotten completely about Kubel. Hopefully he provides some insurance in case Parmelee finally proves he can't cut it (which I'm starting to feel is true).
Seems to me the only realistic "hope" is a full year of Arcia. The rest are based around the improvement of guys who have a proven track record below that improvement level.
Joe often talks about the toll catching takes on his hands. The year he won the MVP, he came in May 1 driving the ball like we've never seen him, which he attributed to "fresh hands". That is as much of a benefit to moving out from behind the plate as stronger legs, especially the way he hits.
Besides Arcia, who will surely benefit from more ABs and a better understanding of the league, I look to regression to the mean. In most cases, they performed well below their career averages last year, so regression looks much more like progression. Willingham is the best example. His year was wrecked by injuries. Kubel and Suzuki also had injury-plagued years. I don't know what to make of Plouffe, but he has to be a bit better. Both Dozier and Florimon performed better than their career averages last year, so regression looks like slippage to me. Then again, I don't expect a lot from them anyway.
Dozier was abysmal the first two months of the season, posting a .609 and .513 OPS in April and May. Then he changed his stance with Bruno and posted an OPS around .800 for the rest of the season. That wasn't a fluke. You can draw a line in the sand the day Dozier made that change to his approach and he was a different player after that day.
He finished the season with a .726 OPS. Given what happened last season, if he stays healthy, I think a .710-.730 OPS is his floor with a ceiling of around .800. Predicting regression below .726 doesn't make any sense given why he improved last season.
he mauer
I like the offenses chance to be a bit better but nothing makes me think they're going to improve too much. Hoping Mauer stays healthy for 150 games I the number 1 way to improve the offense. Also no one is really due for regression except maybe Pinto. Dozier won't likely be the guy we saw the second half but I'd bet his overall numbers will resemble last years and could improve a bit.
Even slight improvements at 3B and outfield positions could be huge and seem realistic to expect. The real improvements should be 2015.when the roster consists of some combination of these players:
Hicks, Buxton, Arcia, Pressly, Rosario, Parmelee
Dozier, Sano, Santana, Florimon, Escaobar, Mauer, Parmelee, Rosario, Plouffe
Pinto, Hermann? Turner in AA or AAA maybe?
Parmelee, Arcia, Plouffe?
Could be a nice lineup out of that crew come 2015. Also depending on what the Twins do for spending the rest of this offseason, they could likely afford to add a Free Agent either to solidify SS or add a power bat at DH. (Still have my fingers crossed that Plouffe or Parmelee could help us out there)
I would suggest that if this is the best optimism we can find within the organization (I think it is), that the results of Nick's search is the strongest evidence yet that the team needs to go outside the organization for help if it believes it can contend.
Better players would help!
Arcia will be familiar with the league, but the league will also be more familiar with him.
2015 promises to be big, but it would help if the propsects of that year get lineup time this year.
The Twins have not stop striking out so much, move runners, MAYBE steal some bases, and ALL hit for their average or better. That's a lot to ask.
Hopefully the starters will keep the team in the game better than last year, yet the batters must also help the rotation out by putting more early runs on the board, too...which brings up the question when playing another team...who DOES have the best starter on the mind today. The Twins still lack a super starter to go against another (co
ntending) club's super starter.
That's part of the problem of living in Minnesota -- even if you've got the hot water of optimism, by the time you throw it in the air, it freezes into the snow-and-ice of reality. Point by point:
- Mauer may end up stronger at first base then he's been at catcher, but people seem to keep forgetting that Mauer's MVP year happened in the Metrodome and that Target Field simply isn't the same kind of ballpark for offense. Plus, Mauer's going to be 31 next year -- he's still got some good seasons left in him, for certain, but predicting a breakout season past 30 is a sucker's bet. Speaking of which:
- Predicting that Willingham will rebound is extremely optimistic, given his age. The two big problems with older players is that 1) they lose skills, especially hand-eye coordination, and 2) they have a harder time staying healthy and recovering from injury. Willingham's 2012 should not be considered a baseline; it's the healthiest he's ever been in a big league campaign and the best season of his career. Willingham is much more likely to 'rebound' to a 115 OPS+ than a 130, which while improved, won't be so far improved that you'll notice much.
- If you think Josmil Pinto is going to be the opening day starter at catcher, you' haven't been watching this team while Ron Gardenhire has been the manager. With very few exceptions (Mauer, primarily), Gardenhire strongly prefers veterans to young players, which means that unless Suzuki washes out in spring training, he's almost certainly going to be given the starting job for the first two months of the season. Given Suzuki's career OPS+ of 86, I'm not expecting he'll set the offense on fire.
- You might think center field should get better, but as recently as 2011, center was a serious offensive weakness, despite the presence of Ben Revere (72 OPS+) and Denard Span (90 OPS+). The club scored 619 runs that season, versus 614 last year. Yes, injuries were a factor, but they always are -- the collection of players available for 2014 simply isn't deep enough to withstand any problems.
- Hey, I want to believe that Kubel's return to the Twins is the harbinger of a return to 'good old days', but there's little reason to think it will. For starters, with the Twins carrying 12 or even 13 pitchers on their roster, there simply isn't room for a platoon DH who can't play the field, so it's possible that Kubel won't even be on the roster to start with. Even if he is, as a part-time player and pinch-hitter (and Kubel has been a horrible pinch-hitter in his career, with a BA/OPS of .220/667 in the role), he's simply not going to play enough to make much of an impact.
Even with all that said, the offense could easily still improve from the barely-above-600 runs it has scored two of the last three seasons. But the Twins scored 700 runs in 2012 and still lost 96 games. Unless the changes to the pitching staff bring a ridiculous increase in the Twins' ability to prevent run scoring (akin to the 671 runs scored they allowed in 2010), even a hundred-run improvement in the offense isn't going to give the team a winning record, much less put them in playoff contention.

Generally, a snowboard is chosen according to a rider's weight, ability and riding style. A shorter snowboard will be more manageable and easier to maneuver – great for beginners, lighterweight, or more freestyle-oriented riders. A longer snowboard will be faster and more stable – great for heavier, more advanced, or aggressive freeriders.
For more freestyle-oriented performance: size between your shoulder and chin.
For more freeride-oriented performance: size between your chin and nose or above.

Comments about Rossignol JIBSAW MAGTEK:
I've been riding for 15 years now and have really not thought too much about riding Rossignol snowboard which was a big mistake… I've been on the 153 Jibsaw for a few weeks now. Obviously Rossignol spends lots of time and money on research and development. There is no gimmicky, 1st generation, trial tech on this board. This board carves harder then any other board I've been on, effortless edge to edge, quick, responsive, snappy, buttery. Has enough pop to ollie those pesky "Slow" signs. I've used this board in all conditions at this point. Holds and edge through ice, flows, floats and frolics in pow, Stomps big booters and is super fun all around jibbing. The only thing it could use is a tad more pop but then it would lose a bit of its playfulness. Bottom line if you want to have fun everywhere on the mountain and in every condition I would recommend this board to any rider.

Comments about Rossignol JIBSAW MAGTEK:
I bought this board to mess around on when the slopes weren't ideal. I'm 6' tall, 160lbs and got a 155 reg just for the fun of it. I made the mistake of underestimating what this deck could actually do. Not even the early thin snow and icy conditions could slow this board down. The sintered base makes this board fly. I passed over rocks and branches causing only a few minor scratches on the bottom. Stiff ends and a buttery center with a camber/rocker profile made for a surprisingly smooth ride over uneven terrain, and that Magne-Traction edge just won't quit. Incredible control at speeds for a stubby board on hard pack. Not quite built for hard charging, but does everything else surprisingly well (even made it out when I dabbled in what little powder I could find).
Bottom line: Very fun deck with a lot of personality and versitility

This ended up being a fantastic recipe - once I gave up on the idea of trying to make it on a pizza pan! I laid out the crescent roll pieces on a pizza pan and could tell pretty quickly it wasn't going to be easy to make a circle that covered the pan. So I took the suggestion of using a 9x13 and coaxed the pieces into fitting with a little help from my rolling pin. I also took the suggestion of baking the crescent roll crust for a few minutes (6min?) before adding the toppings - VERY helpful! Other changes I made included using Morningstar Griller crumbles instead of sausage to make it vegetarian and using a Mexican 3 cheese blend to add a little kick. I didn't brown the crumbles because they seem to cook just fine even when added frozen, but I did the brown the hash browns, just for good measure. I still baked it for 25 min even though I had pre-baked the crust a little, and let it sit for a few minutes before serving. It was EXCELLENT!!
My son and I just threw one of these yummy pizzas together. We used a 16 inch pizza pan and two packages of Crescent rolls for the crust. I added 2 oz. of canned diced Jalapenos, a four ounce can of diced green chilies, (Ortega is good.) Eight ounces of sliced fresh mushrooms, 1/2 tsp. garlic powder and two cups of shredded pepper-jack cheese, all added to an increased 7 egg and milk mixture. Also added an extra 1/2 lb. of ground pork sausage. This was beyond excellant. This one's a keeper, for sure. Thanks Tammy.
Tasted good, but I used a pizza stone from Pampered Chef, and the egg ran everywhere and dried up at the bottom of my oven. I recommend a pizza pan with sides for this.

Diagnostic ultrasound is a means to obtain images of the body using sound waves rather than x-rays. These sound waves enter the body by means of a transducer, which is a device placed directly upon the skin. The sound waves interact with tissues in the body in various ways and are reflected back to the transducer, where they are converted into a visual image on a television monitor.
The sonographers are highly skilled professionals with several years of medical education and supervised training in the performance of ultrasound scans.
Adventist Medical Center's Ultrasound Department started using the latest 3 Dimensional/4 Dimensional (3D/4D) ultrasound technology in December of 2006. The new equipment is located at Adventist's Outpatient Imaging Center in Professional Building #3, Suite 24 and the hospital Ultrasound department located in Radiology.
The new images feature a 3-dimensional image of the fetus which is reconstructed over time hence, giving the 4th dimension. A special ultrasound camera is used to obtain these images. This technology is used to help enhance anatomical features when fetal position allows.
Ultrasound imaging is also frequently used to evaluate and image fetal development in the uterus. When the fetus is imaged between 25 and 40 weeks gestation and surrounded by adequate amniotic fluid, the quality of the fetal image can be truly amazing. These images can allow the prospective parents to see their baby's features with clarity.
Fetal ultrasound images for anatomical screening are generally recommended at 18 weeks, and may vary based on the mother's medical history. Please consult with your Obstetrician for his or her recommendation.
Special Instructions:
Some ultrasound exams require certain preps, i.e. fasting or full bladder.

Drones Off the Leash
Developing useful weapons systems that don't violate human rights presents a challenge for the U.S.
"Salty Dog 502"
International human rights lawyers and military aviation specialists held their collective breath recently when, 80 miles off the coast of Virginia, "Salty Dog 502" executed a flawless landing on the deck of the USS Bush nuclear aircraft carrier catching the third wire before coming to a clean halt. The successful maneuver which to the untrained eye appeared rather unexceptional, ushered in a new era for weapons systems and international humanitarian law as it marked the first time an unmanned, autonomous drone landed on an aircraft carrier.
Other large, first generation drones currently deployed by the CIA and Air Force (which robot expert Peter W. Singer likens to the "Model T Ford or the Wright Brothers' Flyer") require a human pilot operating a joystick to fly but "Salty Dog 502," the culmination of an eight-year, $1.4 billion military project, is designed to launch, land and refuel in midair without human intervention.
"It is not often you get a chance to see the future, but that us what we got to see today," Navy Secretary Ray Mabus said shortly after the autonomous demonstrator touched down. "We didn't have someone ... with a stick and throttle and rudder to fly this thing," added program manager Rear Adm. Mat Winter. "We have automated routines and algorithms."
[See a collection of political cartoons on defense spending.]
International human rights lawyers were not nearly as ebullient.
Human Rights Watch issued an unequivocal report last November calling for an absolute ban on the development, production and use of autonomous weapons systems. The report concluded that "such revolutionary weapons would not be consistent with international humanitarian law and would increase the risk of death or injury to civilians during armed conflict."
A report by the Special Rapporteur to the United Nations issued in April, came to a similar conclusion stating, "[autonomous weapons] may seriously undermine the ability of the international legal system to preserve a minimum world order."
As it currently stands, international humanitarian law prohibits weapon systems that cannot follow the two cardinal rules of distinction and proportionality.
Developing useful systems that pass principle of distinction muster is particularly problematic for the U.S. which, for years, has been engaged in asymmetrical, urban counterinsurgencies, where enemies are often indistinguishable from civilians. Soldiers engage enemies only after observing subtle, contextual factors or taking direct fire. In an environment where most individuals are not combatants (think: Baghdad or Kabul), autonomous weapons' inability to assess individual intention – i.e. a butcher chopping meat in a busy market or a child playing with a toy gun – make their presence on the battlefield an international legal liability.
[See a collection of political cartoons on women in combat.]
Likewise, the proportionality of a military attack is predominately dictated by split-second, value-based judgments, limited by the requirement of "humanity." The sudden presence of a school bus, for instance, may change a human soldier's proportionality calculus, deterring him from engaging.
Human soldiers, however, are not perfect. In the heat of the battle, technical indicators have, at times, proven more reliable than human judgment. In 1988, for instance, the USS Vincennes shot down an Iranian airliner after the warship's crew believed the aircraft was descending to attack when, in fact, computers on-board accurately indicated it was ascending to pass by harmlessly.
And while lethal engagement can be restrained by human compassion it is just as often fueled by our basest instincts: rage and revenge. One need look no further than the civilian atrocities perpetrated by soldiers in Darfur, Rwanda, or Syria to see the possible effects of unchecked human emotions.
[See a collection of political cartoons on Syria.]
With the U.S. Department of Defense's stated goal of increasing the autonomy of weapons systems over the next decade, the real question then becomes how best to ensure compliance with customary international legal standards.

General Motors announced that it would pay $1 million for each death caused by a faulty ignition switch, an error that has contributed to a recall of about 29 million vehicles since 1997.
GM has publicly linked 13 deaths to that recall, but it looks poised to compensate for even more, the New York Times reports.
A Reuters investigation found that at least 74 people had died, and the death toll is expected to rise.
The defect allows the ignition switch to rotate while a person is driving, cutting off power to the vehicle and leaving the driver without steering and brakes. That prevents air bags from deploying, Reuters reported.
Under GM's compensation formula, families of victims who died will receive at least $1 million, plus a calculation of lifetime earnings lost and $300,000 for a spouse and for each dependent.
Kenneth R. Feinberg, the expert hired by the automaker, gave the Times a hypothetical example: "The family of a 25-year-old married woman with two children who was earning $46,400 a year at the time of her accident would receive $4 million," he told the Times. Those who have suffered from life-changing injuries would receive more under the plan. A paraplegic, for example, could be compensated in the double-digit millions.
Some estimates point to upwards of 100 deaths from the ignition switch error, which has affected seven models including the 1997-2005 models of the Chevrolet Malibu and the 2003-2014 Cadillac CTS.
People can look up their vehicles at the GM Recall Center.
"We are taking responsibility for what has happened by taking steps to treat these victims and their families with compassion, decency and fairness," Mary Barra, G.M.'s chief executive, said in a statement. "We made serious mistakes in the past and as a result we're making significant changes in our company to ensure they never happen again."
The compensation plan could cost GM billions, according to the Times.
Those treated for less-severe injuries are also eligible to file a claim. Depending on the duration of hospital stay, compensation values range from $20,000 to $500,000. Those treated in an outpatient unit could receive up to $20,000.
GM will use two primary criterions to gauge eligibility: First, the crash must have involved a car that was recalled for the faulty switch. Second, Feinberg noted, there must be evidence that air bags didn't deploy. If airbags did deploy, that would indicate that power was on and the faulty switch wasn't to blame.
Other documents such as police reports, witness statements and insurance claims will also be taken into account. Politico reports it won't consider other factors, like drunk driving or speeding, when allocating awards.
G.M. added 8.2 million vehicles to its faulty ignition switch recall on Monday, the Associated Press reported. It also announced four other recalls that impacted an additional 200,000 automobiles.That propels this year's recall tally to more than 40 million for the U.S. industry, surpassing the annual record of 30.8 million in 2004.

MALONE — A Hogansburg woman cried and apologized to her family "for the trouble I caused" when she stole and cashed about $3,000 worth of checks from her grandmother.
Brettani Heroy, 20, pleaded guilty this week to fourth-degree grand larceny and was sentenced to five years probation and ordered to pay a $1,000 fine by Franklin County Court Judge Robert G. Main Jr.
She was indicted by a grand jury for grand larceny and four counts of second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument, stemming from an incident Nov. 14, 2012.
"I'm sorry for what I've done," she said, her voice cracking as she began to sob.
"I'm sorry for the trouble I caused my grandmother and my family because of my addiction."
Public Defender Thomas Soucia said his client has turned her life around since her arrest, has been clean for more than a year and made amends to her grandmother.
He said Heroy hasn't had an easy life, but she is successful in treatment.
The judge noted Heroy is doing well while surrounded by supportive staff and programs, "but the time will come, not right away, when that support system is gradually taken away from you. That is when the real test of your commitment to sobriety will begin."
Main said that if she were to backslide and get into trouble again, she would be considered a second-felony offender and have to go to state prison.
"You chose to take advantage of a loved one who was frail with age, suffering from many issues," he said, adding that it is up to her to try to mend the relationship with her grandmother.
Main said that Heroy told the Probation Department staff, for their pre-sentence report, that she blames herself for saying something to them that ultimately got her mother into trouble.
But he told the young woman that what she did was courageous even though it was difficult and painful.
In addition to the probation sentence, Heroy was ordered to pay a $1,000 fine, a $300 felony surcharge and a $25 crime-victim fee, submit a sample of DNA and pay the $50 filing fee.
She is to return to court on Aug. 26 for a compliance conference.

CRESAPTOWN — Marylanders can love and accept their gay colleagues, friends and family members without redefining marriage, said the Rev. Derek McCoy, who spoke Saturday afternoon at the Western Maryland Traditional Marriage Rally inside Calvary Baptist Church.
McCoy, the pastor at Hope Christian Church in Beltsville, is traveling the state, encouraging people to vote against Question 6 when they go to the polls on Nov. 6.
That is the question asking the state's voters whether or not they want legal marriage to apply to unions other than a man and a woman.
"It's a referendum. It was referred to us, the people, the voters," McCoy told an audience of 39 including four pastors.
McCoy's reference to a one-man-one-woman marriage was punctuated in that Saturday was he and his wife's 20th wedding anniversary. Calvary Baptist Pastor Bruce McBride gave Cathy McCoy a bouquet to recognize the occasion.
McCoy said the effort by those who oppose same-sex marriage blew away Maryland's petition regulations when a referendum became the only way to challenge the same-sex law passed in the General Assembly and signed by Gov. Martin O'Malley.
Thirty percent of the signatures in most petition drives are bad and are thrown out, according to McCoy, who said only 3 or 4 percent of the signatures were bogus in this effort.
McCoy showed those in a attendance a sneak preview of a television ad that will begin airing Monday and that encourages an "against" vote on Question 6.
McCoy said the marriage of a man and a woman offers the best environment for raising children and is the best approach for future generations.
"Marriage has been this way for centuries. Marriage pre-dates government," he said. "People have the right to live the way they want, but they don't have the right to redefine marriage. Marriage is about more than what two adults want."
McCoy said the campaign is at a critical point. The goal, he said, is to get 1.6 million voters to check the "against" box.
Support of traditional marriage has even become a freedom-of-speech issue, McCoy said, citing the criticism that arose when Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy spoke out in its favor.
McCoy said he is "throwing Gov. O'Malley under the bus" for personally leading the campaign in favor of same-sex marriage. He said Maryland's economy and budget were the more important issues that should have been dealt with during the most recent session of the General Assembly.
"Don't back away from your faith," McCoy said. "We are doing what's right for society. When it's voting time, nobody stay home even if it is snowing or sleeting."

Ice not nice for Bacup boss
7:41am Wednesday 15th February 2012 in Bacup Borough Football Club By Matt Donlan, Sports reporter
Brent Peters admits he can't wait to get back to action after the big freeze – although Bacup's return to action tonight is likely to be put on ice.
Peters would love to see non-league bosses move the season to the summer when pitches are better and games would be more attractive to fans.
"It would be a sensible move to play from March to October," he said. "It is difficult for clubs to get people through the gates – but they might just fancy it a bit more on a nice summer evening than in a frozen February.
"People don't realise how high above sea level we are at Bacup and Colne are and with the best will in the world it is a tough ask to turn out when it's freezing."
