Coping Emotionally After an Organ Transplant
In this article
When most people think about getting an organ transplant, they focus on the obvious physical aspects: the illness, the operation, and the healing. They're less likely to think about the emotional impact. But that can be profound too, both for you and the people around you.
Nearly all people who receive a transplant, experts say, feel elated and experience a sense of relief and hope after a surgery that goes well. But with time, that initial optimism may be tinged with other feelings. You may start to worry about your condition coming back. You may be afraid of organ rejection. Or you may fixate on the uncertainty of the future.

It's perfectly natural to have these feelings. But if these worries take over your life, you need to do something about it.
Guilt After an Organ Transplant
Guilt is a common reaction people have after a transplant. Patients often report thinking a lot about the donor and felling guilty about benefitting from the donor's death. This feeling can be especially strong for people who became very ill while waiting and prayed or hoped for an organ to become available. After the procedure, some get the feeling that they had been wishing for someone else to die.
One way people come to terms with these feelings is by focusing on the fact that for both the donor family and the recipient the transplant is one way to get a sense of meaning from a death. That understanding, the experts say, can be a source of comfort.
For many people, getting in touch with the donor family can help. To respect privacy, organ donation organizations won't allow you to get in direct contact without the donor family's agreement. But you can at least write a letter that your health care team can pass on to them.
Organ Transplant and Family Issues
Problems with family present another emotional hurdle for many people after a transplant. In most cases, transplants happen rather suddenly, so it's not something you can plan for. As a result, your home life may be turned upside down. Also, you won't be able to predict how you'll feel afterwards.'
In addition, the steroids you will likely be taking can have the effect of a mood amplifier. In the first few weeks, especially, when the doses are highest, the medicine will wind you up and make it hard to sleep. The sudden changes in the family -- and in your behavior -- can be extreme. Just keep in mind that recovery is a process that needs adjustment and time.

« Back
Although best known in some circles for writing Steve Millers hit song Space Cowboy, Ben Sidran is more widely recognized as the host of National Public Radios landmark jazz series, Jazz Alive!, which received a Peabody Award. He is also the host of VH-1 televisions New Visions series, which received the Ace Award for best music series. A pianist, producer, singer and composer, Sidran has recorded 25 solo albums, including the Grammy-nominated Concert for Garcia Lorca, and has produced recordings for such noted artists as Van Morrison, Diana Ross, Mose Allison and Jon Hendricks. He also composed the soundtrack for Hoop Dreams and scored the documentary, Vietnam: Long Time Coming, which won both the Aspen Film Festival Audience Award and an Emmy.

Multivitamins May Help Prevent Cancer
Cancer by the Numbers
In the vitamin group, there were 1,290 cancers. In the placebo group, there were 1,379.
About half of the cancers in each group were of the prostate.
Those diagnoses, the researchers say, were probably influenced by the increase in screening for prostate cancer during the study.
Most of the prostate cancers were earlier stage, with high survival rates.
When the researchers looked at cancers overall, they found the 8% reduction. No effect of a vitamin was found on prostate cancer by itself.
When the researchers separated out the prostate cancers, they found a 12% reduction in the incidence of all other cancers.
The researchers found no differences in the risk of death from cancer between the groups.
Health behaviors that could affect cancer risk, such as smoking and exercise, were evenly divided between groups, Gaziano says.
Vitamins and Cancer Risk: Explaining Vitamin Effects
The study is the first large-scale study of multivitamins and cancer prevention, Gaziano says.
Earlier research focusing on high doses of specific vitamins, and their effects on cancer prevention, have had mixed results. Some have shown possible harm. The researchers can't explain the anti-cancer effect they found with a multivitamin. "We don't know exactly how it works," says researcher Howard Sesso, ScD, MPH, an epidemiologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School.
The combination of vitamins and minerals may mirror the ingredients in a healthy, plant-based diet, the researchers say.
How long does it take for the cancer prevention effect to kick in?
"It looks like you need to take a multivitamin for several years if not a decade," Sesso says, based on the study findings.
The researchers will report their study findings of the effects of vitamins on cardiovascular disease and other diseases later this year.
The researchers received research funding from the National Institutes of Health. They received vitamins or support from BASF Corporation, Pfizer, and DSM Nutritional Products Inc.
Vitamins as Cancer Fighters: Perspectives
The study helps clarify the potential role of multivitamins for cancer prevention, says Susan Gapstur, PhD, MPH, vice president of the American Cancer Society's epidemiology research program.
"Results of previous trials of vitamin and or mineral supplementation for cancer prevention have been mixed, and some studies of individual nutrients have shown evidence of possible harm," she says.
She also cautioned that the trial, although large, is just one study. "Typically, we like to see these kinds of findings replicated by other studies, and in other populations, before coming to solid conclusions."
The American Cancer Society recommends getting nutrients from a healthy diet. For those who choose a supplement, the best choice is a balanced multivitamin containing no more than 100% of the Daily Value of most nutrients, Gapstur says.

|Emergency Procedure for Incidents on Scout Hikes for the "Contact" Person
Emergency Procedure (PDF version, with the same information as on this page)
The "Contact" is the person who is named in the Western Cape Region hiking permit, who is not on the hike and who is aware of the details of the route being undertaken by the Scouts.
The only emergency procedure to be used for any incident on all
Scout hikes - be it an overdue party (over 2 hours late with no
sign of the party), injured person, help required to evacuate a
hiking party or any other problem - is as follows:
They will then advise you as to what you should do. Have all the information pertaining to the hike ready, with regard to routes, leader, number in the party, ages of those in the hiking party, etc. If you get through to Kuba's voice mail, please ensure that you leave all your contact details, before contacting the next advisor. Kuba may be busy with another callout at the time you phone, and will get back to you as soon as possible. All the numbers are available 24 hours per day.
Detailed information about the incident should be provided as soon as possible to the Regional Commissioner and RTC Scout Programme.
Under no circumstances should Parents, Scouts or Scouters:
After discussing and executing instructions from the Regional Hike Advisor, it is only courteous to inform your District Commissioner and Scout Group Leader.
Following all emergency procedures a debriefing meeting with the hiking party and Scouter will be arranged as a matter of course. This will be co-ordinated by the Regional Hike Advisor to ensure that any inadequacies in procedures or problems can be addressed for the future safety of Scouts.
December 2015

Seasons Greetings from The Forest Feast! It's always fun to have one fancy cocktail at holiday celebrations in addition to beer and wine, and this one is easy and festive! It's a holiday twist on the classic Old Fashioned, with floating cranberries as garnish instead of a maraschino cherry.
The only real technique involved is cutting the orange twist. Just use a pairing knife to make a long wide shaving, then gently twist it from both ends into a loose spiral that can hang off the edge of the glass.
I mixed my ingredients first in a cocktail mixing glass, but you can also just do it in your glass.
Old Fashioned Cocktail (with a holiday twist!)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Dash bitters
An orange twist or an orange slice
- 2 ounces bourbon
A few ice cubes (1/2 cup?)
Fresh cranberries for garnish (they're edible but probably too tart to eat)
1. In a short stemless glass, combine sugar, bitters and bourbon. Stir until sugar is dissolved, then add ice and stir more.
2. Garnish with floating cranberries and an orange "twist" on the side of the glass.
Makes 1 serving
The Forest Feast is a blog by Erin Gleeson full of simple, colorful vegetable based recipes. After working for many years as a food photographer in NYC, Erin moved to a cabin in the woods last summer where she is currently working on The Forest Feast Cookbook.

Set in an island paradise during World War II, two parallel love stories are threatened by the dangers of prejudice and war. Nellie, a spunky nurse from Arkansas, falls in love with a mature French planter, Emile. Nellie learns that the mother of his children was an island native and, unable to turn her back on the prejudices with which she was raised, refuses Emile's proposal of marriage. Meanwhile, the strapping Lt. Joe Cable denies himself the fulfillment of a future with an innocent Tonkinese girl with whom he's fallen in love out of the same fears that haunt Nellie. When Emile is recruited to accompany Joe on a dangerous mission that claims Joe's life, Nellie realizes that life is too short not to seize her own chance for happiness, thus confronting and conquering her prejudices.Music by Rodgers, Richard; Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II; Book by Oscar Hammerstein II & Joshua Logan; Adapted from the Pulitzer Prize winning novel

Thank you both so much. You've no idea the weight you've lifted off my shoulders. I was feeling so stuck and alone.
And, I just ordered the book!
Thank you again.
Things to make you feel better (maybe):
He's lying when he says he's not scared.
He really does want care packages
He doesn't get along with his roommate that well
He's not partying that much
Do not friend him on facebook. It will scare both of you.
He'll use it if you send it, but may not buy it himself - laundry soap, body soap, clean socks
Subbing. I've got a bit to go- my son will be 14 next week, but I've been thinking alot about how fast it will go and I can't imagine not seeing and talking to my son every day. I still sneak in and check on him in the middle of the night if I'm awake- I joke about driving across town in the middle of the night to check on him when he moves out. And I think about my Mother- I only see her maybe 4 times a year, talk to her on the phone about once a week. I can't imagine that with my son. (Yeah, I know, I'm jumping ahead of myself.)
I absolutley love this thread and am so happy to find new insights from other moms.
As much as we talk about all aspects of parenting, this part of it still feels a bit like being in the wilderness. This summer has been a real roller coaster of emotion so far. I hope it smooths out a bit.

* Wilson Sonsini at center of insider trading case
* Law firm trusted by many companies across Silicon Valley
* Firm has survived controversies such as HP board spying
By Nadia Damouni
NEW YORK, April 6 Larry Sonsini's Wikipedia entry is only one paragraph long even though the top corporate lawyer has presided over more technology deals than anyone else in Silicon Valley.
Sonsini keeps a determinedly low profile but several times in the past five years, his firm, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati PC, has hit the headlines for the wrong reasons. The latest puts it at the center of one of the largest U.S. insider trading cases ever.
U.S. prosecutors on Wednesday accused a former Wilson Sonsini lawyer, Matthew Kluger, of leaking confidential information about multi-billion dollar tech deals that the firm worked on, in news that stunned dealmakers across the country.
Wilson Sonsini hasn't been accused of wrongdoing, and industry bankers and lawyers say it could have happened to any firm. Indeed, Kluger had also worked at Cravath Swaine & Moore LLP and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP during his 17-year practice, according to prosecutors. [ID:nN06204005]
But the case is a black mark for a successful firm that has nevertheless been dogged by previous controversy: Sonsini was hauled before Congress about his firm's role in Hewlett-Packard Co's (HPQ.N) boardroom spying tactics, and many Wilson Sonsini clients got caught up in the options backdating scandal in 2006.
"It is a reputational issue for them, and they have had several of these things. Wilson needs to be careful," said an M&A lawyer familiar with the firm, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The Palo Alto, California-based Wilson Sonsini is ranked as the number one law firm in high technology M&A transactions, with over $325 billion worth of deals since 2000, according to Thomson Reuters data. (r.reuters.com/tap88r)
Its clientele include nearly all the top U.S. tech companies, and the powerful firm has presided over such landmark deals as HP's $25 billion purchase of Compaq in 2001.
Ironically, Kluger is accused of leaking details on Oracle Corp's ORCL.O takeover of Sun Microsystems Inc, HP's purchase of 3Com Corp and Intel Corp's (INTC.O) purchase of McAfee Inc -- all very high-profile deals that the firm was working on.
However, senior tech bankers and lawyers say Wilson Sonsini will likely remain the go-to firm in the Valley, pointing to examples of other practices that have survived insider trading cases.
"Sonsini will go out to clients and say 'look there is a bad guy, we found out about him and fired him on the spot. This isn't the sort of stuff we tolerate here," said an industry banker who did not want to be identified because he does business with the law firm.
Sonsini, 70, is crowned "King of the Valley" as he often rubs shoulders with the likes of Apple Inc's (AAPL.O) Steve Jobs and Google Inc's (GOOG.O) Sergey Brin and Larry Page.
In an interview with Reuters last month, Sonsini described how he built his empire by getting involved with companies at early or even start-up stages, thus winning client loyalty.
His M&A team develops deep relationships by advising clients on numerous matters, whether or not a deal is in process. They act like general counsels, advising on capital raising, licensing deals, and even security litigations.
"There are firms that do venture work, there are firms that represent public companies, there are firms that do just billion dollar transactions. No one has consciously built a firm or a practice to serve the enterprise in each stage group," said Sonsini, chairman of the firm.
The father of three and grandfather of seven is normally up at 5 a.m. California time to talk to east coast clients, before heading into the office to deal with local issues. He is very hands-on with clients, and was integral in creating the firm's model of the lawyer being a critical adviser and trusted confidante, tech bankers say.
"He is not just the guy who gets the contract done but the guy who influences the decision that is made ... they occupy a position of trust in a board room," said a tech banker.
This position of trust means that Wilson Sonsini is privy to many important decisions in the technology world, from initial public offerings to transformational M&A deals.
One of the firm's M&A lawyers, Marty Korman, told Reuters last month that a member of his team often gets invited into the board rooms of their clients.
"We are often the ones designing the decision-making process," he said. "We are not just deal jockeys that are brought in to do a deal."
Wilson Sonsini said on Wednesday it was shocked by the insider trading case against its former employee, and would cooperate with the investigation. It declined further comment.
The firm has about 600 lawyers across the United States, Hong Kong and Shanghai. In addition to Sonsini and Korman, other lawyers who spearhead the M&A practice include Mike Ringler, Rob Ishii, Bob Sanchez, Larry Chu, and Todd Cleary.
Deal advisers say M&A transactions typically involve so many people -- from players directly in the deal to others at the firms who become privy to confidential information -- it's near impossible to track down or prevent insider trading.
"You can never design a system that is full-proof, there is always some element of trust involved. Law firms have a lot of confidential information and a lot of it is inside information," said the first M&A lawyer. [ID:nN06276648] (Editing by Tiffany Wu and Bernard Orr)

Hyperion Theme of Religion
As a great Alaskan philosopher once said, "Who will save your soul?" The seven pilgrims of Hyperion are all trying to answer this question in their own way. Martin Silenus prays to as many different gods as there are flowers. Lenar Hoyt calls religion his friend. Simmons identifies Catholicism with sexless, mindless followers; Islam with violence and warfare; and Judaism with the futility of believing in broken promises. Then after hundreds of pages of tearing religion apart, it takes the non-believer and impregnates her with something that just might be humanity's savior. Did we mention that religion is complicated?
Questions About Religion
- How does each character's religion, or lack of one, affect his/her motivation?
- What impact would Father Duré's discovery of Christian symbols preceding Christ's teaching by millennia have on the Christian religion?
- Does Hyperion show any benefits of religious faith?
- How is the Shrike cult a religion?

Patterns of pigmentation overlying the petal vasculature are common in flowering plants and have been postulated to play a role in pollinator attraction. Previous studies report that such venation patterning is significantly more attractive to bee foragers in the field than ivory or white flowers without veins. To dissect the ways in which venation patterning of pigment can influence bumblebee behaviour, we investigated the response of flower-naïve individuals of Bombus terrestris to veined, ivory and red near-isogenic lines of Antirrhinum majus. We find that red venation shifts flower colour slightly, although the ivory background is the dominant colour. Bees were readily able to discriminate between ivory and veined flowers under differential conditioning but showed no innate preference when presented with a free choice of rewarding ivory and veined flowers. In contrast, both ivory and veined flowers were selected significantly more often than were red flowers. We conclude that advantages conferred by venation patterning might stem from bees learning of their use as nectar guides, rather than from any innate preference for striped flowers.

(LOS ANGELES, CA) -- James Bartholet is proving that its possible to balance a career in both adult and mainstream with a variety of recent projects. Bartholet wraps a slew of adult titles, new infomercial and movies.
Bartholet recently completed filming Penthouses ''Public Enemies'' parody ''Pubic Enemies'', ''Hollywoods Nailin Paylin'' for Hustler, ''2040'' and ''30 Love'' for Wicked Pictures, and guest stars in the sequel to X Play and LFPs hit ''not the Bradys XXX 4'' which wraps filming this week. Bartholets hilarious co starring role as Terence in X Play and Adam & Eves huge comedy hit ''Flight Attendants'' comes out next month in September.
''James is our go to guy when we need a great comedic actor in our parodies'' stated director will Ryder. ''He always brings something special and clever to the roles he portrays''.
Bartholet also had costarring appearances this year in Hustlers ''This Aint Happy Days XXX'' with a spot on perfect rendition of Mr. Cunningham, as the comical Dr. Morty in XPlay and LFPs ''not Threes Company XXX'', as the frustrated and funny priest in Adam & Eves ''Headmaster 3'', and Hustlers ''This Aint the Partridge Family XXX'' as the bands manager Ruben.
Bartholet also appears in a photo shoot for Hustler Magazine, and Bartholet will also have a new column on www.guyfix.com starting in September.
''Works not as plentiful as it was in several years ago, but its still steady. Im always going to be an optimist about this industry, that I love to work in'' said Bartholet.
Soon it will be almost impossible to flip the channels without catching a glimpse of Bartholet. He is featured in a series of infomercials for ''the Max'' cell phone antenna booster, which improves the signal strength of any phone up to 300%. The infomercial will be hitting the airwaves this September. ''James came in at the last minute and took over for our expert witness who couldnt make it and ended up doing a better job than he would have done'' said director Jennifer James. ''Sdi-2, the company that produces the product, loved him and signed him to take part in future projects and commercials''.
Bartholet also appears in the upcoming mainstream indie romantic comedy ''Mommy and Me,'' playing successful screenwriter Linsey Leclaire, which will be coming out soon.

I have to call the attention of WP experts. I installed the plug-in, Page Numbers Page Navigation to get page numbering. It seemed to work fine-- it added page numbering at the bottom of the page. Until I noticed something fishy. It also added page numbering at the top of the page at the header portion. Not only that, every now and then, a little spammy link would appear at the header section for "cheap clothes", and whatever other link. I immediately deleted the plug-in. Then I got a notice that 2012 theme had been changed and I deleted that theme as well. That fixed the problem.
The point is, could you just please fully vet your plug-ins before putting them out there? The Page Numbers Page Navigation plug-in is a spammy plug-in. When I see a plug-in in the WP directory, I'm assuming it's safe and tested, but apparently this one was not.

Fallout 4 'Far Harbor' DLC arrives on May 19
The next Fallout 4 DLC will be 'Far Harbor,' and it'll be available starting on May 19, Bethesda has announced. This will be the biggest DLC for Fallout 4 so far, following the previous 'Automatron' and 'Wasteland Workshop' downloads. Unlike the other two DLCs, though, this one will cost a fair bit at $24.99 USD — a substantial jump over the last DLC's $4.99 price tag.

Re: Bought a blacklisted Nook tabletroustabout Dec 25, 2011 10:30 PM (in response to jahhuit)
From discussions of NCs in the past, the issue you may run into is that BN policy requires access to the original owner to sign off on the un-blacklisting. The instance or two where folks had seen this was stolen devices. Hopefully yours is listed for some other reason and the Ebay seller can get it delisted for you.

By Nathan Pfau, Army Flier Staff WriterFebruary 21, 2013
FORT RUCKER, Ala. (February 21, 2013) -- Fort Rucker's Silver Wings Golf Course is looking to keep its current members while recruiting new members to join its ranks during its membership drive through the month of March.
The membership drive will not only give people the chance to become a member at Fort Rucker's golf course, but give them up to 31 chances to win various prizes, according to Stan Tanna, assistant business manager for SWGC.
"The basics are going to be the same as last year. We will have a daily drawing when people sign up or renew their memberships, and if you renew or join on March 1, that means you've got 31 chances to get your name drawn and win a prize," he said. "If your name gets drawn early, your name will go back into the drawing and be eligible for another prize."
Tanna said the prizes range from a pair of golf gloves to a set of clubs, and people don't have to be present in order to win, so he encourages people to come out and join if they have a love for the game.
The Silver Wings Golf Course boasts three different 9-hole courses -- red, white and blue -- that people can enjoy year-round, and even a lit driving range that is available at all hours of the day. It also houses the Silver Wings clubhouse, a full golf shop and Divots Restaurant and Grill for a well-rounded golf experience, according to the assistant business manager.
Last year's membership drive boasted a scheduled member's tournament, but this year's tournament was delayed due to construction on the blue course, but Tanna said once the blue course is up and running, members can look forward to a bit of friendly competition.
There are economic and logistical advantages to becoming a member at the SWGC, but getting the full benefit of what the golf course has to offer all depends on the amount of a person's play. The golf course offers a per-play basis, but for those that play more than once a week, a membership would be well worth it.
"Not only do people save money on membership costs by joining here, they can save money on the drive if they live close to Fort Rucker," said Tanna.
Along with the money saved on green fees and commuting costs, becoming a member of the golf course has other added benefits such as: discounts for merchandise and equipment in the golf shop; member-only golf tournaments throughout the year as well as reduced entry fees in other tournaments; and discounts for members that wish to use the clubhouse facility for functions like wedding receptions or parties.
Tanna said that this is a good course for people to join if they enjoy a challenge.
"I believe that this golf course is probably the most challenging of all the golf courses in this area," he said. "People will argue either way depending on who you talk to, but any military course you play on in the world is going to be difficult because they were built to the old standards of golf course construction.
"The courses [on military installations] have long par threes, long par fives, and although some golf courses in the area might have better play conditions, you won't get as much of a challenge as you will here," he added.
The Silver Wings Golf Course is open to the public despite being on a military base, said Tanna, and people don't have to have an affiliation with the Army to play.
There is also no initiation fee to join like with other clubs, said Tanna. People only have to pay the monthly dues, which can be paid in full or on a monthly basis.
If the one-year membership dues are paid in full, a month of dues is taken off of the cost of the year so people paying upfront pay only for 11 months instead of 12, according to the assistant manager. The cost of membership also depends on whether or not the person is civilian or military, active duty or retired, and is based upon their rank.
The monthly membership rates for the 2012-2013 season are: $40 for ranks E-1 to E-6 and juniors aged 12-17; $65 for E-7 and up and Department of Defense civilians; and $83 for the general public.

Mixed News for Mixed Use
The Brookings Institution's Metropolitan Policy Project has mostly good news on trends in downtown residential density. Between 1990 and 2000, the population of people living downtown increased 10.4 percent: a major jump after 20 years of outmigration - fueled by so-called white flight - from inner cities to outlying suburbs. (Between 1970 and 1980, for example, downtown populations showed exactly the opposite trend, declining by 10.4 percent.)
Of the 45 cities surveyed, Seattle's downtown population grew the fastest during the 1990s (77%), and was second only to Norfolk, VA in overall growth between 1970 and 2000 (86%).
The demographics of those new downtown residential neighborhoods, however, are hardly representative of the cities to which they belong. Between 1970 and 2000, the number of families living downtown nationwide decreased 18 percent, with 71 percent of downtown households composed of single residents. (In Seattle, that disparity is even greater: Just 17 percent of downtown residents are families.) The number of families with children, meanwhile, dropped by 27 percent. In contrast, families comprised nearly 60 percent of overall urban populations. This is bad news if you believe, as Seattle City Council member Peter Steinbreuck does, that downtown Seattle will never be truly livable unless it draws a diverse mix of residents, including families.

AUSTIN (AP) - Texas junior running back Kenny Hayter, stuck behind several players in competition for a starting position, has decided to transfer to another school.
"I feel I will have an opportunity to contribute more on the field at another school," Hayter said in released statement.
Hayter played in 16 games and rushed for 333 yards and four touchdowns in his career. He posted a career-best 122 yards against Oklahoma State last season.
In the current training camp, however, Hayter has not been among the top players vying to replace the departed Hodges Mitchell, who rushed for more than 1,000 yards each of the last two seasons.

Bash 4.0 Introduces Associative Arrays
The GNU Project's Bourne Again Shell (bash) is now in its fourth major version, which provides numerous enhancements.
For one thing, bash now recognizes associative arrays. The newly introduced "**" wildcard recursively matches all libraries and files, although it requires activation of the "globstar" shell option. The new "&>>" redirection operator appends the standard output and standard error to a file.
Programmable completion code also includes some feature enhancements. The developers fixed a few related bugs on the bash 3 branch and improved other POSIX compatibility issues. The full list of new features and enhancements are here, with more details on the bash manpage.
Version compatibility details are here, especially related to the older versions 1.14 and 2.0, especially as to the use of shell options.
Bash 4.0 is under GLPv3 licensing and is available at GNU mirrors as source tarballs for download. Along with bash, a new version 6.0 of the GNU Readline library is also available.
bash associative array... solution!this is my solution:
function idx { eval 'case $1 in '${cases[*]}' *) [ "$1" ] && { cases=( ${cases[*]} '\''"'\''$1'\''" echo '${#cases[*]}';;'\'' ); echo '${#cases[*]}';}; esac'; }
idx all
idx all
idx jhon
idx all
as you can see the function return different values for different strings
so associative array becomes quite simple like a simple array
array[`idx name`]=value
echo ${array[`idx name`]}
what do you think?

It's time to zap the myth that microwaving food somehow damages or irradiates it.
A Moment Of Science takes a scientific look at an old myth.
Have you heard the phrase, "Let's nuke it in the microwave!" Well, Nuclear power and microwaves really don't have much in common.
Besides preventing the microwaves from reaching and heating up the food it conceals, aluminum foil tends to give off sparks that might start a fire.
Microwaves are low energy electromagnetic waves that have so little energy they can't trigger chemical reactions in the molecules they encounter.
When the microwaves hit the front of an oncoming car, some of them are reflected back into the radar gun.

Nationals Select Contract of RHP Joe Ross
Twitter: @Nationals | Facebook: Nationals | Instagram: @Nationals
The Washington Nationals selected the contract of right-handed pitcher Joe Ross, optioned right-handed pitcher A.J. Cole to Triple-A Syracuse, and moved right-handed pitcher Craig Stammen to the 60-day disabled list on Saturday. President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Mike Rizzo made the announcements.
Ross, 22, joins the Nationals for his first Major League assignment after going 2-2 with a 2.81 ERA (16 ER/51.1 IP) in nine starts for Double-A Harrisburg. He has struck out 54 while allowing 46 hits and walking 12 over those nine starts. At the time of his promotion, Ross ranked among Eastern League pitchers in ERA (T10th, 2.81) and strikeouts (4th, 54). His 54 strikeouts led all Washington Minor Leaguers while his 2.81 ERA was good for fourth.
Ross' most impressive start of the season came on April 25 vs. Reading (PHI) when he struck out eight batters in 7.0 innings of two-hit, shutout ball in Harrisburg's 7-4 win. In his most recent start on May 31 at Bowie (BAL), Ross allowed one earned run on three hits in 7.0 innings of work, striking out seven and not walking a batter in the 6-4 defeat.
Ross was acquired, along with a player to be named later, from the San Diego Padres in a three-team trade that sent outfielder Steven Souza Jr. and Minor League left-handed pitcher Travis Ott to the Tampa Bay Rays on December 18, 2014. He was originally selected by the Padres in the first round (25th overall) of the 2011 First-Year Player Draft. He is a native of Berkeley, California where he attended Bishop O'Dowd High School. Ross' older brother, Tyson, pitches for the San Diego Padres.
Prior to being acquired by the Nationals, Ross was rated by Baseball America as the No. 4 prospect in San Diego's chain. He went a combined 10-6 with a 3.92 ERA in 23 games/22 starts between Single-A Lake Elsinore and Double-A San Antonio in 2014. While with Lake Elsinore, he was named a California League mid-season All-Star and garnered California League Pitcher of the Week honors on May 5. He was promoted to Double-A in mid-July and, following the season, was rated by Baseball America as the No. 6 prospect in the Single-A California League.
Cole, 23, has appeared in three games for Washington (one start), notching one save in 9.1 innings of work.
Stammen, 31, was originally placed on the 15-day disabled list on April 15 with a right forearm strain. He was 0-0 with a 0.00 ERA in five games (4.0 IP) prior to his injury. Since transitioning exclusively to relief work in 2012, the versatile righty is 17-12 with a 2.89 ERA in 167 games (246.1 IP) for the Nationals.
Nationals reinstate INF Anthony Rendon and recall RHP A.J. Cole, option RHP Taylor Jordan and INF Wilmer Difo
Twitter: @Nationals | Facebook: Nationals | Instagram: @Nationals
The Washington Nationals returned from rehab and reinstated infielder Anthony Rendon from the 15-day disabled list and recalled right-handed pitcher A.J. Cole from Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday. They optioned right-handed pitcher Taylor Jordan to Triple-A Syracuse and infielder Wilmer Difo to Double-A Harrisburg.
Rendon, 24, missed the first 53 games of the 2015 season recovering from a left knee sprain, and then a left oblique strain. He returns to the Nationals' active roster after eight total Minor League rehab games (five on his most recent assignment). Over the course of his rehab, Rendon hit .250 with three doubles, three RBI, three walks and one run scored in eight games for Double-A Harrisburg.
The Nationals' first-round selection in the 2011 First-Year Player Draft, Rendon is coming off a superb 2014 season in which he took home the National League Louisville Slugger Silver Slugger Award for third basemen and finished fifth in the National League Most Valuable Player Award voting.
Rendon, who is an exceptional defender at second and third base, hit .287 with 39 doubles, six triples, 21 home runs, 83 RBI, 58 walks and 111 runs scored in 153 games in 2014. The gifted infielder ranked fourth in the Major Leagues (second in the NL) in wins above replacement (6.6), according to FanGraphs.com, at the conclusion of the season.
Cole, 23, returns to the Nationals for his third Major League assignment of 2015. He has appeared in three games for the Nationals, recording his first career save on May 15 at San Diego. In six games for Triple-A Syracuse, he is 0-2 with a 3.26 ERA. Cole entered the 2015 season ranked as the Nationals' No. 6 prospect, and the No. 91 prospect in all of baseball, according to Baseball America.
Difo, 23, appeared in five games in his first big league assignment. The Nationals' No. 7 prospect and "Best Defensive Infielder" in Washington's system, according to Baseball America, went 1-for-5 during his call-up. He picked up the first Major League hit of his career in his first at-bat, a pinch-hitting appearance on May 19 vs. the New York Yankees.
Jordan, 26, appeared in two games for the Nationals during his second MLB stint of 2015. He went 0-2 with an 8.44 ERA, making one relief appearance and one start for Washington.
From the Desk of Mark D. Lerner: Checking in from Spring Training
Twitter: @Nationals | Facebook: Nationals | Instagram: @Nationals
Hello, everyone.
Let me start by stating that things could not be better here in Viera. The weather is wonderful, the workouts are crisp and the results have been encouraging. Yes, a team's Grapefruit League winning percentage can, at times, be misleading, but winning games is always better than the alternative.
Seven wins, four losses and a tie. But what is most encouraging is how Manager Matt Williams has them playing the game. I love the aggressive base running. Taking an extra base. How fantastic was it to see Danny Espinosa score from second base on Saturday on a dribbler back to the pitcher? This brand of baseball really is infectious.
Fifteen home runs in 12 games. Only five allowed. That's a good ratio.
Strong offensive starts from stalwarts like Ian Desmond (.286, 2 HR, 3 RBI), Adam LaRoche (2 HR, 4 RBI), Wilson Ramos (.474, HR, 10 RBI) and Ryan Zimmerman (.389, HR, 2 RBI) among others.
And many of our young players are making their marks. Zach Walters is hitting .615 with four extra-base hits and five RBI. He is as hot as anyone. Brian Goodwin and Michael A. Taylor have each made memorable catches in the outfield. Matt Skole hit .357 and four of his five hits went for extra bases before he was assigned to Minor League camp earlier this week so that he can get additional at-bats.
- I have not even mentioned the pitching. There truly are too many to name, but I'll risk mentioning three standouts: Taylor Jordan (team-leading 11 strikeouts), Jerry Blevins (3.2 hitless innings) and A.J. Cole (6.2 scoreless innings).
- Forgive me if I think it is 2005 all over again watching Jamey Carroll and Luis Ayala perform admirably as they battle for roster spots. Jamey's approach at the plate (.333 OBP), base running and defensive versatility are all a real plus. Meanwhile, Luis can throw a strike whenever he needs to. He has that same veteran savvy gene our friend Livan Hernandez had during his playing days.
- And Matt Williams? What's not to like? Crisp, precise and purposeful baseball usually yields wins. I love what Matt brings to our dugout and clubhouse. I especially like how our team has taken to his aggressive nature.
- I was pleased to see President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Mike Rizzo sign Michael Gonzalez to a Minor League deal last weekend. Gonzalez was a big part of our bullpen's success in 2012 and there are very few southpaw relievers who can match his experience in tight situations. Welcome back Michael!
- I just counted. Only three of the club's 18 errors have been committed by players who were "regulars" in Washington last season. And one of those miscues was charged to Mr. Perfect, Denard Span! Remember, Denard did not commit an error last season. As I have said before, he should have won a Gold Glove!
- I'd like to thank all of our fans in Central Florida, but especially those from our local area on the Space Coast (Viera, Melbourne and Rockledge). The crowds for the Cardinals and Yankees games in the last week were the two largest we have ever enjoyed hosting.
- As for our fans from back home, I've had quite a few friends remark upon arrival in Viera about the significant pockets of Nationals fans on their flights from DC to Orlando. It's hard to ignore all the smiles and Curly W shirts, sweaters and hats. It is great to see so many of our fans catching on to just how special Spring Training is.
Until next time …
MiLB Postseason Preview
Follow @Nationals on Twitter | Like the Nationals on Facebook
While the Major League club continues to fight its uphill climb toward the fifth and final postseason spot in the National League, the Washington Nationals Minor League system has combined to compile quite a year. Four of the six stateside affiliates clinched postseason spots, with one already taking home its league title.
After cruising through the regular season, the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League Nationals swept through the postseason to claim the GCL Championship on Sunday.
The GCL Nats, who set a Minor League Baseball record for the best domestic regular-season winning percentage (49-9, .845), defeated the GCL Pirates in a one-game semifinal on Friday, 6-1, to reach the best-of-three championship. On Saturday, they snatched a 10-3, come-from-behind win over the GCL Red Sox at the Washington Nationals Training Complex in Viera, then followed that with a 7-2 win, in Game 2 on the road in Fort Myers to earn the title.
The pitching staff, which led the league in ERA, WHIP and shutouts this season, compiled a 1.67 ERA through the playoffs, led by righty Wander Suero and southpaw Hector Silvestre. Suero tossed five solid innings in the clincher, allowing just one run on one hit with seven strikeouts, while Silvestre shut down the Pirates in the semifinal with six shutout innings in which he allowed just one hit and struck out seven.
Offensively, the GCL Nats showed pop in all three playoff games, but impressively used an eight-run outburst in the seventh inning of Game 1 of the Championship Series to erase a 3-0 GCL Red Sox lead. Randy Encarnacion collected five hits, four runs scored and five RBI throughout the three-game postseason run, while Drew Ward added four hits, three runs and four RBI.
The Nationals have three other playoff-bound affiliates remaining, with the Low-A Hagerstown Suns, High-A Potomac Nationals and Double-A Harrisburg Senators and each headed for the postseason.
South Atlantic League First Half Northern Division Champion Hagerstown (80-57) will take on the West Virginia Power (Pirates) in a best-of-three series, where the Suns will have the home-field advantage for the final two games. The series opens Wednesday at 7:05 p.m., while the Augusta GreenJackets (Giants) and Savannah Sand Gnats (Mets) battle for the Southern Division title.
Two Hagerstown representatives earned SAL All-Star honors in second baseman Tony Renda and Manager Tripp Keister. Renda leads the league in games played (134), at-bats (517), doubles (43) and runs scored (99). Keister is in his first season with the Suns after helming the GCL Nationals last year. Both were also named as midseason All-Stars.
Potomac (84-55) claimed both first- and second-half Carolina League Northern Division titles and will face the Lynchburg Hillcats (Braves) in a best-of-three set starting Wednesday at 7:05 p.m. at Pfitzner Stadium. By virtue of winning both halves, the P-Nats will enjoy home-field advantage for all three games of the series, should a third game be necessary. The winner will take on either the Salem Red Sox or Myrtle Beach Pelicans (Rangers) in the best-of-five Mills Cup Championship Series.
Potomac righty reliever Robert Benincasa and outfielders Michael Taylor and Billy Burns were chosen as year-end Carolina League All-Stars. The trio ties the P-Nats with the Carolina Mudcats (Indians) for most representatives on the roster. Benincasa has registered 25 saves in 26 chances between Hagerstown and Potomac this season, logging a 3.54 ERA and 32 strikeouts in 28.0 innings since his promotion in June. Taylor leads the league in doubles (39) and extra-base hits (55) and has also fired 20 outfield assists this season. Burns, who was recently promoted to Harrisburg, led the Carolina league in batting average (.312) and steals (54) in 91 games.
Burns and Harrisburg (77-65) will face the Erie SeaWolves (Tigers) in the first round of the Eastern League playoffs, as the Senators wrapped up their Western Division title with a 1-0 shutout Monday. They will play in a best-of-five set starting Wednesday, and the winner will advance to the Eastern League Championship series for another best-of-five showdown with either the Binghamton Mets or Trenton Thunder (Yankees).
The Senators feature a dynamic starting rotation, headlined by righthanders Nathan Karns and A.J. Cole, and rising lefty Robbie Ray. Karns, who made his Major League debut in May, went 10-6 with a 3.26 ERA and 155 strikeouts in 132.2 innings this year for Harrisburg. Cole, acquired from Oakland prior to the season, had a terrific finish in Double-A after starting the season in Potomac. He went 4-2 in seven starts for the Senators, compiling a 2.18 ERA and 0.904 WHIP in 45.1 innings of work. The 21-year-old Ray capped off a breakthrough campaign with an 11-5 record across two levels, striking out a system-high 160 batters in 142 innings.

All-Star Performances All Around

With the combination of his star power and raw power, Bryce Harper is the most nationally known of Washington's performers during All-Star Week at Citi Field. However, the Nationals have had a presence in nearly every facet of the festivities, and those stories should not be overlooked. Before the Midsummer Classic takes place Tuesday night, we take a look back through the events of the past three days.
Sunday: A.J. Cole Saves the Future for the USA
On Sunday afternoon, while the Nationals were taking care of business against the Miami Marlins in the final game before the All-Star break, some of the brightest prospects in the game assembled at Citi Field for the Futures Game. Pitting the best American Minor Leaguers against those from around the world, the game has become a showcase event that marks the beginning of the week of exhibitions.
This year's Futures Game was a low-scoring, well-fought contest, in which the teams exchanged leads, with the U.S. team adding a run in the eighth to lead 4-2 heading to the ninth. Giants Minor League hurler Kyle Crick walked two of the first three batters he faced to put the tying run on base and bring the potential go-ahead run to the plate with just one out. The U.S. Futures team turned to the bullpen and brought in Nationals prospect A.J. Cole – reacquired in the offseason deal that also netted Ian Krol and Blake Treinen – to finish the job. Cole punched out Mariners prospect Ji-Man Choi looking, then induced a grounder to second base from another Giants farmhand, Jesus Galindo, to end the game and earn the save.
Sunday: Defending the MVP
As you may recall, last year's MLB All-Star Legends & Celebrity Softball Game featured a pair of Washington Nationals Wounded Warriors Amputee Softball Team members, Saul Bosquez and Matt Kinsey. Both players shined brightly in their time in the spotlight, as each went 3-for-3, with Kinsey also blasting a home run to lead his team to victory and earn the game's MVP award. Needless to say, the bar had been set pretty high for Josh Wege, this year's Wounded Warrior participant.
Not to be outdone, Wege, representing the Nationals, cranked a home run of his own off future Hall-of-Famer Frank Thomas and nearly made a spectacular diving grab in the first inning, earning him co-MVP honors for the night.
"It's just amazing to be on the field with this guys," Wege said of his fellow athletes and celebrities. "I wouldn't trade it for anything. The fans were amazing today."
Monday: Bam Bam Reaches the Finals
Competing in his first-ever Home Run Derby, Bryce Harper was the youngest participant in the field of eight by nearly six years. But that didn't stop him from putting up the most consistent display of anyone in the tournament, homering eight times in each of his three rounds and spraying the ball to all fields, advancing to the finals. But his final effort was not enough to best Oakland's Yoenis Cespedes, who blasted 17 long balls during his opening round, the most of any player in a single round.
Check out a compilation of all of Harper's home runs below, and don't forget to watch him tonight as he starts in center field for the National League.

"Cynicism is a poor substitute for critical thought and constructive action."
Those were the words of Federal Reserve Chairman and Nationals Season Plan Holder Ben Bernanke last weekend, as he delivered the commencement address at Princeton University. And while he used them as guidance to a group of 20-somethings entering the real world for the first time, they are words that any Washington baseball fan could easily feel were spoken about their hometown nine as the team returns home here in early June.
At 27-28, the Nationals are not off to the start they, or many else, had hoped for. Injuries have hampered both the offense and the starting rotation through the opening third of the season. And yet, in spite of all that one could point to that has gone wrong, the team is still hovering around .500, in second place in the division. After a much-needed day off Monday, the team will get a big boost in the arm Tuesday with the return of their emotional leader, Jayson Werth.
Washington has not had Werth in the lineup since May 2, but he has been rehabbing his strained hamstring with the Potomac Nationals this past week. After a 9-for-16 stint over five games, including a two-homer performance on Sunday, Werth is a welcome piece back to the middle of a Nationals lineup still looking for consistent offensive production. He will bat second Tuesday night as Washington opens a six-game homestand against the Mets and Twins, bridging the gap between leadoff man Denard Span and the heart of the lineup.
They also made a number of other moves, choosing the proactive route as they face a crucial juncture this season. In addition to bringing back Anthony Rendon, who had been promoted to Triple-A earlier this week, they also selected the contract of left-handed pitcher Ian Krol from Double-A Harrisburg.
While you probably know plenty about Rendon and his bat, Krol may be a new name to you. He was literally the proverbial "player to be named later" from the trade that also landed Minor League arms A.J. Cole and Blake Treinen and sent Michael Morse to Seattle this offseason. In 21 relief appearances with Harrisburg, the 22-year-old allowed just 14 hits and two earned runs in 26.0 innings pitched, striking out 29 while walking just seven. He provides a promising young left-handed arm out of the bullpen that the team has been in search of all season long.
So, you can take the view that the Nationals are a game under .500 in early June, or the one that sees them taking thoughtful, constructive action to make themselves better, just as their emotional backbone returns.
Surfing The Pipeline

As you may have noticed, MLB.com released its Top 20 prospects for each team earlier this week as part of its MLB Pipeline debut. There should be a number of names familiar to many Nationals fans, as the Top 10 on the list closely parallels that of the Baseball America rankings filed just a few weeks ago. The BA rankings came out prior to Washington's reacquisition of A.J. Cole, who would have (as we can figure out through deductive reasoning, by his appearance as the fourth and final Nationals prospect on the overall Top 100) ranked in the top five. As such, seven of the same players appear among the 10 on each list.
Here is the full list of MLB.com's Top 20, complete with links for those to whom we have already showcased one way or another within the last calendar year.
4. A.J. Cole – RHP
7. Eury Perez – OF
8. Destin Hood – OF
9. Matt Purke – LHP
10. Robbie Ray – LHP
11. Matt Skole – INF

Feeling Bullish About The 'Pen
Follow @Nationals on Twitter | Like the Nationals on Facebook
The Nationals made it official on Thursday, inking right-handed reliever Rafael Soriano to a two-year deal with a vesting option for the 2015 season. The 33-year-old Dominican hurler has eclipsed 40 saves in two of the past three seasons, including 42 last year for the American League East Champion New York Yankees.
Soriano fortifies an already strong Nationals bullpen, joining Tyler Clippard and Drew Storen to form a trio as strong as any in the league to shut down opponents at the end of ballgames. All three have served as closers at different points in their respective careers. In fact, average each pitcher's most recent season in the closer's role (Soriano in '12, Clippard in '12, Storen in '11) and you get a 2.92 ERA, 9.5 K/9.0 IP and 39 saves, at an 89 percent conversion rate.
Most any team would jump at the opportunity to sign that player to pitch the most important single inning of the game. Your Nationals have three of them.
The Soriano signing was certainly the biggest player news of the week, but it wasn't the only development out of The District. In addition to the deal that netted three minor leaguers from Oakland including the return of A.J.Cole, the Nationals also announced that pitchers and catchers will report to Spring Training on February 12, with position players on the 15th and the first workout coming two days after that. Washington also signed five players to Minor League deals, and released its Non-roster Invitee list for Major League Spring Training, including five more players already under contract. Here are the names:
Minor League Deals/Non-roster Invitees:
LHP Fernando Abad
LHP Bill Bray
LHP Brandon Mann
RHP Ross Ohlendorf
INF Will Rhymes
Additional Non-roster Invitees:
LHP Pat McCoy
RHP Tanner Roark
C Carlos Maldonado
INF Matt Skole
INF Zach Walters
Some fans may remember Maldonado from his short stint in D.C. in 2012 and Bray from his 19 appearances with Washington back in 2006 before pitching for the Reds the past six seasons. Abad and Ohlendorf both have big league time as recently as last year, and the latter is no stranger to D.C. – the Princeton grad interned for the Department of Agriculture back in the winter following the 2009 season. Meanwhile, Skole and Walters should also be names familiar to those who follow the Nationals farm system, as we have profiled each of them, the former taking home organizational Minor League Player of the Year honors.
As we reach the middle of January, the roster is starting to take shape. Of course, that should come as no surprise – pitchers and catchers report in just 26 days.
