Abstract: | A series of experiments investigated the extent to which the spatial orientation of a signal line affects discrimination of its trajectory from the random trajectories of background noise lines. The orientation of the signal line was either parallel (iso-) or orthogonal (ortho-) to its motion direction and it was identical in all respects to the noise (orientation, length and speed) except for its motion direction, rendering the signal line indistinguishable from the noise on a frame-to-frame basis. We found that discrimination of ortho-trajectories was generally better than iso-trajectories. Discrimination of ortho-trajectories was largely immune to the effects of spatial jitter in the trajectory, and to variations in step size and line-length. Discrimination of iso-trajectories was reliable provided that step-size was not too short and did not exceed line length, and that the trajectory was straight. The new result that trajectory discrimination in moving line elements is modulated by line orientation suggests that ortho- and iso-trajectory discrimination rely upon two distinct mechanisms: iso-motion discrimination involves a 'motion-streak' process that combines motion information with information about orientation parallel to the motion trajectory, while ortho-motion discrimination involves extended trajectory facilitation in a network of receptive fields with orthogonal orientation tuning. |

Has anyone used both?
The sale at NP is tempting, HD is going for 25 bucks. Ive used it during last summer, and had some pretty good results with it. So at that price, I could afford running it for 8 weeks plus adding Retain 2.
HD X2 is sold at nearly twice the price, is it good enough to justify the price?
i would buy more than that!
it is exponentially good, meaning hte more you take (the original specifically) the better the gains and results! at that price, eat it up!
They are both good, and i like the X2 version, but you can't beat that price!
Hey how much estro suppression with Hyperdrol? Interested in trying out either HD or HD X2, but I have a bit of an estrogen situation going on - my estrogen levels nose-dived after taking too many AIs for too long - so can't take anything that will cause estrogen suppression currently.
Btw, Mace and guys, what do you recommend for getting estro levels that are too low fixed, anything from Anabolic Xtreme?
Will a SERM like Nolva work AFTER the estro/HDL etc. levels have already hit rock bottom?
Hyperdrol X2 for 8 weeks is what I would do.

My girlfriend and I stayed at this hotel in October of 2010. We got a great deal on a room and loved the location. You can walk to or easily get to the main attractions in New Orleans. We planned this getaway for the food New Orleans has to offer and by the end of the trip we came to the conclusion that there was no better place to eat than our hotel room. The room service was unbelievable. Extra's like internet and parking are spendy but come with the territory. You can't control who's in the room next to you but the rooms and doors seem well insulated to allow for a peaceful stay. Workout room is very nice, the pool is smaller but located on the roof. Don't plan on getting a tan up there unless you go at noon since you will most likely be in the shadows.

Description |
Croatian architectural scene prides itself on a long-lasting and deep-rooted tradition of open architectural competitions, a tradition that, thanks to its comprehensiveness and versatility, seems almost unparalleled in Europe. Results are to be seen in the exceptional quality of the projects both designed and built, which not only extend the boundaries of architectural discipline, but enrich the our built environment and open up possibilities for promotion of architectural thought well beyond national borders. In order to foster and further expand the importance and frequency of architectural competitions, it would be necessary to enrich the participants' pool, as well as the choice of themes. Conventional architectural competitions limit full freedom of architectural thought, which especially hampers young architects and students. The noticed gap between everyday practice and experimental architectural discourse ought to be filled with detected societal and spatial issues adapted to contemporary living conditions. The new field of design and architectural activity would serve in constituting architectural profession's identity among cultural and political domain creation of built environment, and in raising its civic engagement. It would, furthermore, draw the attention of both professional and general public to the demand of raising overall spatial awareness |
Event Details - I |
PROGRAMME GOAL: Zagreb Architects Society (DAZ) is launching a series of annual cycles of conceptual architectural competitions, defined by programming tasks proposed by the elected jurors, renowned Croatian and international practicing architects. The annual cycle consists of several conceptual architectural competitions. There is an overall annual theme which ties the competitions together. Guest curator determines the annual theme and defines a framework for the tasks of each individual competition. Each competition's task is defined by its own juror. Each competition is in line with and supportive of the annual theme. Individual competitions are organized as international, open, anonymous; one stage conceptual architectural competitions. PARTICIPANTS: Think Space Competition will aim primarily for architects and students of rchitecture, but others in similar professions all around the world are encouraged to participate. The call extends to the professionals and students in humanities, design, landscape architecture and arts. ANNUAL THEME: The annual theme serves as an input parameter for all conceptual competitions, which will address four different programme tasks aligned with the main theme. The theme is to be determined by the guest curator. |
Event Details - II |
SINGLE COMPETITION: The task is formulated as interdisciplinary, based on theoretical premises questioning spatial architectural issues. Each of the jurors will define their task and present it in the form of a short essay, which will then serve as basis for the participants' work. SUBMISSION OF ENTRIES: Entries can be submitted only through the Think Space web site. Participants need to register prior to submitting the applications. Applications are in digital form according to propositions of each single competition and files are uploaded on the server. PRIZES OF EACH SINGLE COMPETITION:
DURATION: The duration of the whole cycle (annual theme and "seasonal" competitions) is one calendar year. Each single competition lasts for 3 months. |

Columbia College's Main Building was built in 1906-1907 by Christian A. Eckstorm, an architect popular for his industrial and warehouse designs, to serve as the headquarters of the International Harvester Company. 600 S. Michigan was a modern skyscraper of its era, built with a steel skeleton, high-speed elevators, electric light, the most advanced mechanical systems available and a floor plan designed to maximize natural light for all of its interior office spaces. The 15-story brick-clad building with classical stone detailing has an Art Deco lobby that retains much of its original marble. In 1937 the building was purchased by the Fairbanks-Morse Company, makers of railroad engines, farm equipment and hydraulic systems. It was acquired by Columbia College in 1974. In its early years as the home of Columbia, it was adaptively reused to house classrooms, the library, darkrooms, studios, and an auditorium. When the campus expanded through the acquisition of other buildings, especially after 1990, some of these functions, such as the greatly expanded library, were moved to other locations, and the spaces were again adapted for new uses. The building continues to serve as the administrative center of the college, and houses the Museum of Contemporary Photography on its first two floors, along with the 180-seat Ferguson Memorial Theater, photography darkrooms, two professional television studios, film/video editing facilities, and classrooms.
This building was not that bad, but I liked the first floor and lounge room. :)

...I was going to say "reprehensible" instead of "bad", but I have to admit I have contemplated doing that myself now and then, so it would be hypocritical to take that strong a position on the subject.
Are they showing AdSense ads in the frame surrounding linked sites? If so, I believe that would be a considerable violation. If not, then IMO it's a bad practice but it's been around for many years (just Ask Jeeves) and I don't see how it's relevant to AdSense.

1 person found this answer helpful.
Was this helpful?
1 Answer
Ed for Model Number EFE379ACB
Answer Ed, Most likely with there being power supplied to the bottom element all the time and it not going off there would either be an issue with wiring but more likely the relay sticking in the clock assembly 316436001.
Harrison for Model Number tappan tef351ewb
Answer Hello Harrison. You need to check the wiring first. if all wiring is good, then go to the first switch in the wiring series and replace it. It is possible if they shorted out, it could have got them both. But check the wiring first.
Wilbur for Model Number FEFL79GQA
Answer Hello Wilbur. Replace the switch for the element on the unit.
Linda for Model Number FEF366CSF
Answer Hello Linda. If there is power to it, and it does not come on, you will need to order 316207511 and 316220804. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html

Answer Hello Monica. The switch is new.
Tye for Model Number Kenmore 790.9612340A

Michael P for Model Number ffef3018lq
Answer Hello Michael, You can remove the element by removing 2 or 3 screws under the main top in the door opening. This will allow you to lift the main top to access the burners. To test to see if it is the element 318178110 or switch, you can pull the unit out and remove the rear cover, test with the element turned on from H1 to H2 on the switch and see if there is 240 vac. If there is then the element would most likely be the issue and if not then the switch 316436000 is faulty and would need to be replaced.
Walter for Model Number fef366emd

After all, who doesn't love seeing starlets likeAnne Hathaway and Lindsay Lohan go from drab to fab during the course of 90 minutes?
As serious fashion (and film) fans who love nothing more than observing characters' style evolution, we can't get enough of big-screen makeovers. That's why we chose 10 of our all-time favorites in the gallery above-and included before and after shots for full effect!

Rated 5 out of 5 by HunterKelly Long lasting sandals
I wear a mens size 8 but they're a little wide for me so I switched to a womens size 11 & they are much tighter. Sizing runs a little long but if you have narrow feet try the womens, same sandal.

Order the 10 so that your hill does not hang off.A:
I purchased the 9 and have a little room left. I also can wear 9 1/2 or 10 but the 9 was plenty long. I had the luxury of trying them on in the store before I purchased them so that was helpful. Hope this helps you. llsA:
If you have narrow feet, definitely go with a 9. If they are wide, then 10.Details:
My normal size is 9½, but since they don't have half sizes, I don't know whether I should get 9 or 10.Answers
The Velcro straps are adjustable both across the toes and around the ankle. If you have a very narrow foot and ankle, I suggest going with a half size smaller, but if you have a wide foot or ankle, go up a half size.A:
I would purchase the smaller size..they seemed to be too large when I purchsed a size 8..should have chosen a 7.A:
I would go with a 10 as they are very true to size.A:
I had the same problem so I went with a 10. Think I should have went with a 9 because they are a little loose over the foot. love them thoughA:
I wear an 8 to 8.5 I was in the store and tried a 8 needed a little more room. I ordered a 9 fits great. The sizes run small.Details:
this is the 2nd pair that I have had the sole come off of anyone else had this problem?Answers
I've just started wearing this particular style of sandals, but I have had others that I wore year round and the soles separate within about 1 year.A:
I wear mine almost daily for very soggy dog walks. I haven't had any problems with the sole separating. This is my 2nd pair.A:
Check the climate. Do you have sweaty feet?A:
Either the feet sweat or the glue of the shoe is in a high humidity or climate.A:
I personal have not had any other issues from customer stating the soles have come off the shoe. If under warranty, please return for an exchange. ThanksDetails:
Can they regularly get "submerged" wet without issue, or is this not that kind of sandal?Answers

I sat in the boat with my feet in the water with these sandals on - no problems!!!A:
Yes..I wear mine when fishing etc.No problem going in water to put the boat in or take it out..Dry quickly and doesn't hurt shoes.
This sandal isn't that type.A:
They don't call them "River Sandals" for nothing ! I'll wet mine & sun dry them & they snug up nicely.A:
I wore mine in Hawaii and was in and out of the water (both salt and fresh) with no problem.A:
I've had mine at least a year and every so often, I toss them in the washer. They've always come out just fine, no wear and tear, so I would probably walk in water in them. Just me. (I do air dry them)A:
I personally wouldn't recommend submersing them into water, tho i have been walking in the rain...there are very nice shoes made for walking in the water out there!:)
I didn't use them in the water at all. They don't seem like the water shoe at all. I avoided it, just because I wasn't totally sure...very light weight.1 of 1

Alliance smoothes way for South American exports to ME
The GAC Group's global agency network has now expanded to Brazil through an alliance agreement with Wilson Sons Shipping Agency, which came into effect on June 1.
This alliance will ease the way for the shipments of timber, steel, PVC resin, Marco Polo busses (used by Dubai Municipality for the local public transport system), Volkswagen trucks and cars and Caterpillar equipment that Brazil exports to the Middle East region every year.
With over 500,000 tonnes of lumber, 250,000 tonnes of Caterpillar equipment and 100,000 tonnes of PVC resin produced in South America for the Middle East market every year, GAC's expanding port coverage in South America is an important development for facilitating exports to the region.
"As one of the only international shipping agencies based in the Middle East, it is vital that our global network caters to our clients' interests in every corner of the globe," said Lars Peter Heisselberg, Group Vice President, GAC Shipping from the company's corporate head office in Dubai. "With alliances already established in Venezuela, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Uruguay and Panama Canal, the GAC-Wilson deal brings us one step closer to complete port coverage in South America."
Sustained growth and a stable economy are boosting Brazil's trade volumes and have provided the catalyst for GAC's entry, said Lars Peter.
"There is strong demand for export products including soybeans, coffee and sugar, and dry bulk commodities such as iron ore, steel and timber. Our timely partnership with industry veteran and agency expert Wilson Sons enables us to meet the surge in demand for port and ship agency services, especially to dry bulk carriers and tankers," he said.
Lars Peter says GAC already has a strong position in the global dry bulk sector through its operations in South Africa and its network agency alliance with Adsteam Australia. "We believe we can leverage our existing dry bulk competencies with our partners in Brazil to win new customers in this vital trading sector," says Lars Peter.
Nationwide coverage Established in 1837, Wilson Sons is the only ship agency in Brazil offering nationwide coverage through its own offices in ports from Rio Grande to Belem handling in excess of 5,000 vessels per annum.
"In addition to our traditional strengths in liner, tramp and semi liner operations, Wilson Sons boasts very strong connections with the ports," says Christian von Lachmann, Director, Wilson Sons.
"Combined with GAC's extensive expertise in specialised ship agency services, we expect to reap additional benefits such as penetrating the robust dry bulk sector which has very different demands to those of the liner trades."
Global network In the past 12 months, GAC has rapidly expanded its global network of agents to complement its own port coverage in the Middle East, the Indian Subcontinent, Asia, Africa and key locations in the Americas, Europe, the Mediterranean and the Black Sea.
Its global network agents today include Adsteam (Australia, New Zealand, Oceania), Unipros (Republic of Korea), Kudrat Maritime (Malaysia), RUR (USA East & Gulf Coasts), Wilford & McKay (Panama), Vensport (Venezuela) and Ultramar (Argentina, Chile, Peru and Uruguay).

Fantasy Baseball 2013: Top 30 Third Basemen Heading into Exhibition Play
By Jay Clemons ,
Detroit's Miguel Cabrera (39 HR, 144 RBI, 109 Runs, .330 BA) is the runaway fantasy choice for preseason No. 1 among third basemen.
The following countdown details my early top 30 third basemen heading into exhibition play, with an emphasis on 5x5 roto leagues.
Of the positional countdowns to date, I've had the most difficulty ranking this group from a tiers perspective.
Miguel Cabrera may be an easy lock for the top spot, but one could then make a case for the next five stars (Adrian Beltre, David Wright, Evan Longoria, Aramis Ramirez, Chase Headley) being classified in any random order.
The same holds true for the players ranked ninth through 16th. There's even some guilt in hanging Cincy's Todd Frazier out to dry at No. 17.
But hey, this is why some owners would rather move heaven and earth to draft Miggy in Round 1, compared to lamenting the risk/reward variations of a supremely talented, but equally flawed group.
Enjoy the show!
Third Basemen—19-30
19. Manny Machado, Orioles (above)
20. Jordan Pacheco, Rockies
21. Trevor Plouffe, Twins
22. Chris Nelson, Rockies
23. Ryan Roberts, Rays
24. Chris Johnson, Braves
25. Kevin Youkilis, Yankees
26. Matt Carpenter, Cardinals
27. Matt Dominguez, Astros
28. Mike Olt, Rangers
29. Jeff Keppinger, White Sox
30. Jed Lowrie, Athletics (should garner 3B eligibility sometime around May 1)
NOTE: We'll assess Alex Rodriguez's fantasy viability in June.
2012 Stats: 8 HR, 67 RBI, 79 Runs, 2 Steals, .277 BA
Reasons To Love This Ranking
1. During the offseason, Michael Young moved from one hitter-friendly ballpark in Texas to another hitter-friendly park in Philly.
2. In odd-numbered years since 2005, Young has cumulatively enjoyed a .332 batting average.
3. Even at age 36, Young is still a viable threat for 85 runs, 80 RBI and 190-plus hits.
Reasons To Loathe This Ranking
1. Now for the bad news: Young's numbers, across the board, significantly plunged last season.
2. There's no guarantee that he will notch 12 homers or bat .300 again.
2012 Stats: 19 HR, 67 RBI, 55 Runs, 3 Steals, .273 BA
Reasons To Love This Ranking
1. Last year, Todd Frazier's first-half/second-half splits with homers, steals, doubles, walks, strikeouts and total bases were virtually identical.
2. Frazier's seasonal batting average (.273) was deceptively low—he posted three batting months of .306, .330 and .385.
3. For July and August, he crushed opposing pitching, racking up 11 homers, 40 RBI, 34 runs and .323 batting average.
4. Heading into his second full MLB season, Frazier has the reasonable upside for 25 homers.
Reasons To Loathe This Ranking
1. Here's the flip side of Frazier's splits: In September/October, he had deplorable marks with batting average (.176) and on-base percentage (.235).
2. For what it's worth, he never belted 20 homers in the minors.
2012 Stats: 30 HR, 85 RBI, 64 Runs, 1 Steal, .244 BA
Reasons To Love This Ranking
1. Given his tremendous raw power, Pedro Alvarez has the reasonable upside for 33 homers and 90 RBI this season.
2. Over a 162-game season, Alvarez is a lock for three stupendous spurts—from a homer/RBI perspective. So, when he gets hot, ride him until that flame extinguishes.
3. From a splits perspective, he notched four months of double-digit runs, three months of five or more homers and five months of double-digit RBI.
4. Alvarez is typically a major liability with average, but he did hit .322 (with five homers/12 RBI) last August (90 at-bats).
Reasons To Loathe This Ranking
Alvarez is a two-category asset. He makes his fantasy living on the long ball.
2012 Stats: 20 HR, 86 RBI, 62 Runs, 13 Steals, .259 BA
Reasons To Love This Ranking
1. In his rookie season, Kyle Seager posted excellent beginner marks with homers (20), RBI (86) and doubles (35).
2. From a splits standpoint, Seager had two months of double-digit runs, four months of double-digit RBI and four months of four-plus homers.
3. He is an outside candidate for 20 homers and 20 steals in 2013.
Reasons To Loathe This Ranking
1. How's this for weird: Seager didn't bat above .300 in any month last year.
2. He had three slugging months under .400. Ugh.
2012 Stats: 15 HR, 54 RBI, 34 Runs, 4 Steals, .288 BA
Reasons To Love This Ranking
1. In his debut month last year (24 games in May), Will Middlebrooks notched six homers, 21 RBI, 13 runs, two steals and had a .316 batting average.
2. Including his time in the minors last season, Middlebrooks accounted for 24 homers and 81 RBI.
3. He had slugging marks above .500 for May and June.
Reasons To Loathe This Ranking
1. It's OK to be weary of the dreaded "sophomore slump," particularly since Middlebrooks batted .194 in 10 August games.
2. From May to August, his numbers in eight categories—runs, hits, doubles, homers, RBI, batting average, OBP and slugging—successively declined each month.
2012 Stats: 20 HR, 73 RBI, 69 Runs, 5 Steals, .242 BA
Reasons To Love This Ranking
1. Heading into his age-24 campaign, Mike Moustakas is seemingly on the precipice of a major breakout.
2. He's only three seasons removed from one of the greatest minor league campaigns of the last 15 years: 36 homers, 124 RBI, 94 runs and a .322 average in only 118 games.
3. Moustakas got off to a torrid start last April, rolling for three homers, 12 RBI, 10 runs and a .315 batting average.
4. The Royals slugger posted double-digit tallies in runs and RBI for all six months last year.
Reasons To Loathe This Ranking
Moustakas had four months of .247 or lower (batting average) last year. Not good.
2012 Stats: 20 HR, 86 RBI, 62 Runs, 3 Steals, .259 BA
Reasons To Love This Ranking
1. Last year, David Freese established career highs in runs, hits, doubles, homers, RBI and steals.
2. Over four MLB seasons (one full, three partial), Freese has batted .293 or higher every time.
3. During that span (328 MLB games), Freese has a stellar OBP of .363.
Reasons To Loathe This Ranking
Heading into his age-30 campaign, it's fair to wonder if Freese has the upside for 27 homers and/or 100 RBI. (Nit-picky concern.)
2012 Stats: 11 HR, 48 RBI, 73 Runs, 13 Steals, .273 BA (125 games)
Reasons To Love This Ranking
1. This lofty ranking is a compromise pick on Brett Lawrie's behalf. From a numbers standpoint, he probably warrants a preseason rating around 14th or 15th.
2. When healthy, Lawrie is a good bet for 20 homers and 20 steals.
3. Similar to Mike Moustakas, Lawrie (18 HR, .347 batting in the minors two years ago) has a world of talent and should bust out sooner than later.
Reasons To Loathe This Ranking
1. Lawrie didn't live up to the hype (or high ranking) that followed him into last season.
2. The Blue Jays slugger only had one batting month above .300 last year (June). Ouch.
2012 Stats: 10 HR, 70 RBI, 81 Runs, 17 Steals, .301 BA
Reasons To Love This Ranking
1. With the Braves last year, Martin Prado enjoyed career highs with hits (186), doubles (42), triples (six), RBI and steals.
2. Prado has notched double-digit homers in each of the last four seasons (2009-12).
3. From a splits perspective, he posted two months of batting .320 or higher, four months of double-digit RBI and six months of double-digit runs.
4. With his move to Arizona (via the Justin Upton trade), Prado will take his talents to one of the National League's friendliest hitter parks.
5. Prado has dual-position eligibility (3B/OF) this year.
Reasons To Loathe This Ranking
No complaints here. Prado is a non-sexy, but highly productive pick anytime after Round 9.
2012 Stats: 12 HR, 63 RBI, 59 Runs, .283 BA (108 games)
Reasons To Love This Ranking
1. If memory serves, Pablo Sandoval moon-raked three homers in Game 1 of last year's World Series.
2. Check out his stellar numbers from last April: four homers, 14 RBI, 15 runs and .311 batting.
3. Over a full season, Sandoval has the track-record capacity for 25 homers, 90 RBI and .330 batting average.
Reasons To Loathe This Ranking
1. Sandoval hasn't played 120 or more games since 2010.
2. Kung Fu Panda's weight and durability remain annual concerns.
2012 Stats: 24 HR, 92 RBI, 79 Runs, 21 Steals, .257 BA
Reasons To Love This Ranking
1. Hanley Ramirez fared better in 64 games with the Dodgers (10 HR, 44 RBI, .271 BA) last year, compared to the 93 games with the Marlins (.248 batting).
2. Of the last six seasons, Ramirez topped the 20-homer mark five times.
3. Downward trends aside, he's still a good candidate for 20 homers/20 steals at age 29.
4. Ramirez has dual-position eligibility (SS/3B) for one more season.
Reasons To Loathe This Ranking
1. Han-Ram hasn't sniffed a .500 slugging rate in the last four seasons—a status he attained with the Marlins from 2007-09.
2. The days of Ramirez cruising past 100 runs sometime in early September are seemingly long gone.
3. It's hard to justify Ramirez's 132 strikeouts last year—a career high (or low).
2012 Stats: 25 HR, 95 RBI, 93 Runs, 5 Steals, .282 BA
Reasons To Love This Ranking
1. Heading into his age-28 season, Ryan Zimmerman has evolved into an annual lock for 27 homers, 90 RBI, 89 runs, four steals and a .290 batting average.
2. From a splits perspective, Zimmerman posted two months of batting .315 or higher, five months of double-digit runs and five months of double-digit RBI.
3. Check out Zim's amazing numbers from last July: 10 homers, 24 RBI, 26 runs, .366 batting, .434 OBP and 1.186 OPS.
Reasons To Loathe This Ranking
No complaints here.
2012 Stats: 31 HR, 115 RBI, 95 Runs, 17 Steals, .286 BA
Reasons To Love This Ranking
1. Last year, Chase Headley easily established career highs in homers, RBI, runs, hits, slugging (.498) and OPS (.875).
2. He also matched seasonal highs in doubles and steals.
3. For the final two months, Headley exploded for 19 homers, 63 RBI, 44 runs, five steals and .319 batting average.
4. For August and September, he also produced back-to-back months of .600-plus slugging.
Reasons To Loathe This Ranking
If Headley replicates his 2012 production, obviously this ranking will look foolish by season's end. In the meantime, I need to see greatness in consecutive years.
2012 Stats: 27 HR, 105 RBI, 92 Runs, 9 Steals, .300 BA
Reasons To Love This Ranking
1. If Aramis Ramirez wasn't four months shy of his 35th birthday, he'd be higher on the fantasy "respect" meter this spring.
2. Last year, Ramirez established a new career high in doubles (50).
3. Of the last 12 seasons, A-Ram has cracked 26 or more homers nine times and 100-plus RBI seven times.
4. For the final three months, he cumulatively tallied 18 homers, 60 RBI, 48 runs, seven steals and a .338 batting average.
Reasons To Loathe This Ranking
Ramirez had a notable discrepancy in batting average last year: .320 at home and .281 on the road.
2012 Stats: 17 HR, 55 RBI, 39 Runs, .289 BA (74 games)
Reasons To Love This Ranking
1. Extrapolating Evan Longoria's 2012 numbers over 150 games, he could have finished with 34 homers, 108 RBI, 78 runs and five steals.
2. From 2008-11, Longo averaged 28 homers and 100 RBI.
3. Last year, Longoria's numbers at third base (10 HR, 36 RBI, .304 batting, .391 OBP) were significantly higher than his DH numbers (seven homers, .261 batting).
4. Check out his post-injury splits from September: eight homers, 21 RBI, 16 runs, .296 batting, .379 OBP and .574 slugging.
Reasons To Loathe This Ranking
1. Longoria hasn't played in 145 games (per season) since 2010.
2. The days of Longoria amassing 45 or more doubles have likely passed.
3. A-Ramirez and Headley probably deserve a higher ranking based on last year's numbers...but Longoria gets the slight, reputation-based nod.
2012 Stats: 21 HR, 93 RBI, 91 Runs, 15 Steals, .306 BA
Reasons To Love This Ranking
1. David Wright had absurd numbers in the first three months last year:
April: 3 HR, 14 RBI, 15 runs, .389 BA, .494 OBP, 1.064 OPS
May: 2 HR, 16 RBI, 17 runs, .347 BA, .439 OBP, 1.000 OPS
June: 4 HR, 20 RBI, 20 runs, .340 BA, .426 OBP, .989 OPS
2. Overall, he posted four months of three-plus steals, five months of double-digit RBI, five months of a .360 or higher OBP and six months of double-digit runs.
3. With Citi Field's smaller dimensions in 2013, Wright morphs into a good bet for 27 homers, 35 doubles, 100 RBI and 93 runs.
Reasons To Loathe This Ranking
1. Wright didn't exceed .300 batting for the final three months last year.
2. The face of the Mets hasn't registered 100 runs in the previous four seasons (2009-12).
2012 Stats: 36 HR, 102 RBI, 95 Runs, .321 BA
Reasons To Love This Ranking
1. Since 2004, Adrian Beltre has enjoyed three seasons of 189 or more hits (2004, 2010, 2012).
2. Of the last three campaigns, he has averaged 32 homers, 103 RBI and .314 batting.
3. In that span, Beltre has also evolved into a comfortable lock for 37 doubles, 86 runs and an OPS rate above .900.
4. From a splits standpoint, Beltre posted five months of .300 batting/double-digit RBI and six months of four-plus homers/double-digit runs.
Reasons To Loathe This Ranking
1. Even with his annual greatness in homers, RBI, runs and batting, Beltre is still just a four-category asset.
2. Beltre turns 34 on April 7.
2012 Stats: 44 HR, 139 RBI, 109 Runs, 4 Steals, .330 BA
Reasons To Love This Ranking
1. Miguel Cabrera is the reigning American League MVP and the Junior Circuit's first Triple Crown winner since 1967 (Carl Yastrzemski).
2. He has notched 30 homers in each of the last six seasons, averaging 36 in that span.
3. Last year, Miggy established career highs in hits (205), homers and RBI.
4. Cabrera has absurdly posted an OPS rate of .999 or above in each of the last three seasons.
Reasons To Loathe This Ranking
No complaints here...except that Miggy no longer has first-base eligibility. As a result, Mike Trout may be the more attractive candidate at No. 1 overall.

Health care has become a politically charged issue that evokes a lot of negative emotions for many of us these days. It doesn't really matter whether you are a liberal or a conservative, the health care system is just a mess. Ten weeks ago my daughter was admitted to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in a life-threatening state of uncontrolled seizures. The etiology of which may have been some crazy virus gone terribly bad, but we will probably never really know. Our first 8 weeks were spent in the intensive care unit, specifically SICU-A.
It was there that I came to understand our health care system in a deeper way than politicians and pundits seem to care about. The health care system is made up of men and women who go to work every day with the goal of helping someone. They are professionals who put their own lives on hold while they immerse themselves in the care-taking and well-being of others. While television shows and societal status may at times make their jobs seem glamorous, I didn't see glamour. I saw men and women who work endless hours giving of themselves intellectually and emotionally to save lives. I saw men and women who wrapped a heartsick family in compassion and love. I saw men and women who worked tirelessly to save my daughter's life, and they did. Thanks to them she will return to being a mother, a wife, a sister, a friend, a daughter.
There really are no words to express the gratitude we feel. I can only wish that when the healthcare crisis is debated, we all take pause to honor these men and women and the fragile lives to which they dedicate theirs.

"Often when things don't work out in a patient's favor, he or she is quick to complain. Which is why when someone goes that extra mile, I believe that individual should be commended. There is such a person at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center who I wish to recognize for his dedication.
During the past year, I have been a patient at the Cancer Center under the care of Michael Goldstein, MD. Due to the type of gastric cancer that I have been diagnosed with, I frequently need to have a paracentesis done, which, as you know, requires a visit to the ultrasound department. These appointments usually tend to be last minute because my symptoms quickly change and cause me much discomfort.
The individual who has always been at the other end of the phone setting up these last minute appointments for me is Andrew Bissaro (Administrative Assistant, Thoracic Oncology). Andrew is patient, understanding, responsible and very knowledgeable. Additionally, his calming voice on the phone puts my mind at ease.
When I first call the hospital I am usually very stressed; however, every time I hang up from talking to Andrew, my mind is put at ease. I know I will be receiving a call shortly with a date and time for my procedure, knowing for certain that he has made every effort possible to accommodate my requests. I understand that working with the public can be very stressful, but I have never felt that Andrew was anything but professional and truly helpful. I have told him many times how thankful I am.
I hope that you and the staff at the Cancer Center realize how lucky you are to have an employee as wonderful as Andrew Bissaro!"

"I am writing to express my sincerest gratitude to and appreciation for the members of your staff who care for me. When I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2009, I started searching for the best doctors in the Boston area. Dr. Daniel Tarsy (Director of the Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Center, Neurology) came very highly recommended by many, and boy, were those recommendations right!
I have received excellent care from Dr. Tarsy, Director of this Center of Excellence as designated by the National Parkinson Foundation, and his multi-disciplinary team. This team includes:
Active in Parkinson's advocacy and a researcher myself, I know that no two patients with Parkinson's are alike and each needs to be treated differently. Thus, a multidisciplinary team is critical to patient care, including mine, as well as for my family and caregivers. The team that Dr. Tarsy has put together is exceptional. Not only do they know their own field in general, but they are also very knowledgeable in the various conditions brought on by Parkinson's.
Getting a diagnosis of Parkinson's is shocking and upsetting, but Dr. Tarsy and his team members were so caring and understanding of the situation. I can see how dealing with a newly diagnosed patient would be very tough, but they made me feel comfortable during a very difficult time. Dr. Tarsy and his team were always there to explain how things were going and what to expect. You couldn't ask for better people.
Thank you again and please express my gratitude to Dr. Tarsy and his team members who continue to provide wonderful care for me."

"My wife, Kathleen, was a patient of your hospital for the last 33 months as she battled pancreatic cancer. From our very first day arriving at BIDMC in November 2010 with Kathy and our children to meet Dr. Mark Callery and discuss her Whipple surgery, until she was finally transported to a local hospice house on July 18, 2013, the care that Kathy and I received from each and every one of your employees was phenomenal.
Kathy endured Whipple surgery, radiation, several different chemotherapy regimens, a clinical trial, multiple ICU stays and a few extended hospital stays. Although it would be impossible to capture in this letter all of the people and all of the moments that helped to make these experiences bearable, I can attest to the fact that your campaign of treating patients as "Human First" is a living and breathing part of your organization. Each and every time we were in your hospital, we were treated with respect, dignity, compassion and kindness. We built warm relationships with many of Kathy's caregivers and even those that we saw only a few times were always friendly, knowledgeable and respectful.
We could not have asked for a better caregiving experience for Kathy and myself than that which we received at BIDMC. I would like to specifically thank Chiara Battelli, MD; Michael A. Goldstein, MD; Anand Mahadevan, MD; Mark P. Callery, MD; Charles I. Haffajee, MD; Andrea J. Bullock, MD; Jason P. Moran, MD; Paddy Connelly, BSN; Chantal Paul, RN and Miriam Lucas. Each of these people was directly involved with Kathy's care in a significant way and treated her and my entire family with a tremendous amount of compassion and respect. Kathy thought very highly of each of these individuals and trusted her care to them. She prayed for each of them every night and we all appreciate their efforts and their expertise.
I would also like to express my thanks for the caregivers, attending physicians, residents, interns, nurses, aides, medical transporters and cleaning staff in the Hematology and Oncology Clinic on Shapiro 9, the 11th floor of Reisman and the Finard 4 ICU. Kathy spent a great deal of time with these people and they never failed to provide great care, a friendly touch and a kind, personal interaction. When you are facing all that Kathy had to deal with for the last 33 months, being treated with kindness and compassion was nearly as important as being treated with expert medicine. All of these people consistently smiled, cleaned the floors, answered medical questions, ordered tests and medicine, wheeled her to tests and procedures, brought pillows and ice chips and even helped make difficult decisions. They laughed at Kathy's jokes, indulged her requests for prayers and always made her feel like they were on her side and understood her concerns.
Your hospital is quite a team. You should be very proud of the care they give and the manner in which it is given. One of my favorite experiences with your team was when the woman at the information desk, who greeted me warmly day in and day out during Kathy's hospital stays, brought me a cup of coffee and a warm smile when she saw me looking low.
Even though your hospital is large, highly ranked and world-renowned, it was just as important to Kathy and me that the care was also personal, warm and compassionate. Thank you very much to you and all of your staff." Bill Brockton
"When Arnold P. Gold, MD, a pediatric neurologist at Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons, established the Arnold P. Gold Foundation with his wife and colleagues in 1988, he had one goal in mind: to ensure the survival of 'the caring physician.' From there, the Gold Humanism Honor Society was formed. This society became well-established at medical schools across the country as educators and residency program directors expressed the need for a mechanism to identify applicants with outstanding clinical and interpersonal skills. I'm proud that this year, BIDMC was one of 10 medical centers and the only hospital in Massachusetts chosen to pilot a resident chapter of the society. Twenty-three resident physicians (physicians in training) were inducted at a ceremony on June 12. Members inducted into this society were first nominated by their peers. We asked the residents a few key questions including 'who would you want to have as your own doctor?' From there, nominees were asked to submit a brief essay about their vision of what they might aim to accomplish if inducted. The 23 residents inducted into BIDMC's Gold Humanism Honor Society Chapter have proven their abilities as humanistic physicians. The attributes outlined by the society include integrity, excellence, compassion, altruism, respect, empathy and service. It truly exemplifies BIDMC's Human First campaign. Physicians can be incredibly smart and gifted, but if they don't have human compassion, they have failed their patients. Carrie Tibbles, MD BIDMC Emergency Medicine Physician
"I want to thank my incredible surgeon for all that she did to help me with my debilitating disease and for her incredible skill as a doctor and surgeon in taking care of me and returning me once again to good health. I was so incredibly sick for much of the last year, and always thought that I would be able to tough it out and 'beat this' on my own. That proved to not be the case and I have to credit her for saving me from this awful affliction of diverticulitis. Because this was elective surgery on my part, I took the time to do some research and felt she and BIDMC was the best choice for me and I'm certainly glad that I chose wisely. For someone who has NEVER been hospitalized in his entire life, it was daunting to say the least. But everyone, from the residents to the nurses to the aids, were all outstanding and made this traumatic experience more than tolerable for me. I am deeply grateful for the outstanding care I received, and was especially relieved that I came through it all with no post-op secondary infections, nor any blood clots (I do have two genetic blood clotting disorders — Factor Five Leiden & Anti-Thrombin 3) ... and I was worried I may end up with a clot, but am very happy that didn't happen. The care I received was top rate and I expressed such on the questionnaire/survey that BIDMC sent to me. But more than anything else, I'm glad that BIDMC was able to get me into surgery so quickly, and then given just how bad the state of my sigmoid colon was, getting me out in a timely manner and only having to live with the ostomy for about four weeks ... not bad at all, thank you! Thank you very much once again for all that you did. My job is a television cameraman, and I also teach boxing classes at a bunch of local gyms. It is VERY physical, and although I'm not back to doing it 100 percent, I know that I am on my way, due in large part to the expertise and great care I received at BIDMC. I am very grateful ... I was very sick indeed and needed this surgery. I am forever in your debt." Douglas Hopkinton
"My life turned around and improved when my newest neurology doctor said, 'the first thing we are going to do is get rid of the pain.' I wanted to kiss her. It had been three long years of different tests, different doctors and many disappointments. It was simple to me; I just wanted to know what was wrong with me. Why was I losing feeling in my legs and now my arms? How come I didn't feel hot and cold like everyone else? Why couldn't I walk without being in pain? Why was I walking like an 80-year-old woman when I was only 46?
With that one sentence, I knew I had found a provider who believed me, who didn't try to fluff off my concerns and tell me that it was all in my head, or my favorite, the doctor who told me, 'you seem to be handling this pretty well,' as I stood in his examining room crying hysterically.
From that point on I knew I had a doctor I could trust, one who treated me as a person first. I could stop carrying my entire medical record with me whenever I went to a new doctor, to show which tests I had and which procedures. A doctor who listened to my concerns and let me be a part of my own treatment plan. A doctor who acknowledged my intelligence as a professional woman who could handle and understand the complex world that is Idiopathic sensory peripheral neuropathy.
We discussed the additional tests she wanted me to have and I trusted her. She prescribed Lyrica to manage the pain until the tests were completed. Then we would meet again and figure out a longer term game plan. She believed me.
When we met again about a month later, she told me that I had a very rare form of neuropathy. My form was sensory peripheral neuropathy. According to my doctor, less than two percent of the population has this form. Of course. What causes this? We don't know in your case. Of course again.
But they were able to come up with a treatment plan for me. They were proposing a new type of medicine for me, somewhat exploratory called IVIg. I was worried that my medical insurance wouldn't cover this treatment. My doctor said, 'You let ME worry about that, YOU concentrate on your recovery.'
Again, I was able to let go a little more, allow someone else to be my advocate, which was hard because I was my only advocate up to that point.
I had to take a leave of absence from my job as a systems analyst. My first five-day IVIg treatment was just about two years ago. I now go monthly for a five hour treatment once a month for what I call my 'oil changes.' The effect has been profound. I was able to go back to work, be present in my family life, and now, for the first time in two years, able to start walking on a treadmill for an hour three times a week.
The pain is still there, but it is manageable. I've begun to live in my 'new normal.' That's okay. I'm better off than I was before and I'll take that. My doctor looked at me as a human being suffering and with that one sentence, my life turned around and improved." Leah Quincy
To everyone at Beth Israel: If you could pass this along to the appropriate people and departments, we would appreciate it!
My wife, Kate and I would like to thank you for the tremendous work you did for us in order to bring our son, Jude, into this world. It's been 4 months since Jude was born (please forgive this being late, we have been a little busy :) ) - but we still are amazed and grateful for all that you did.
My wife was the one who had Listeria while pregnant, and I am convinced that if it wasn't for the thoroughness and attentiveness of your staff, we wouldn't have been lucky enough to catch and treat the infection before it affected Jude. From the beginning, people showed their care for Kate and Jude as individual people. There were doctors who insisted she stay, just because they knew something was wrong. There was the doctor on the Infectious disease team who just didn't think the symptoms matched the current diagnosis and checked for listeria. There was the NICU team that cared for Jude (and for us) from the moment he was born and made sure that when he came home, all we had to worry about was the usual first time parent worries. There was the OB team that walked us through every step and put our wishes first, yet also guided us through the onslaught of medical decisions we needed to make. Finally - the nurses - They were n the OB triage unit and calmed our initial fears, they were on the ante partum floor - who were there to keep us comfortable before labor, and who we went back to and showed us how to be parents. They were in Labor and Delivery and were literally the shoulder my wife leaned on when getting ready to deliver Jude 3 weeks early - they were also our guide and moral support. Finally, the nurses in the NICU who cared for Jude like he was their own. While we didn't like having to leave him, the only thing that made it bearable was the fact that such caring and competent nurses were there to care for him.
For all of this, we want to thank you for allowing us to be the family that we are today. While the medical care we received was world class, the personal attention and care for us as individuals was above and beyond what we expected, yet was needed to help us cope with those few weeks.
A little update on Jude - he is now 4 months old and is 15lbs 9oz!! He is doing very well (I have attached some pictures) Here he was in the NICU
"When I was suffering from a painful herniated disc in my back, my doctor at BIDMC went to bat for me, personally calling my PCP and health insurance company to get my MRI approved quickly. He didn't just see me as a name or a number, he saw me as a person in pain … and he helped me to feel SO MUCH BETTER." Julia Somerville

According to a WZROnline.com source, WWE sent out emails and text messages to their talents on Sunday stating that there will be a major meeting backstage at RAW at 3PM on Monday to address ongoing issues with travel and pay. The company is extremely worried with A.W.s' most recent Twitter rants as well as JTG's rant last Monday prior to RAW. They will also be trying to calm down numerous other mid-card talents before they go out on social media as well. It all comes down to nearly half of the current roster being frustrated with numerous issues (travel & pay). They've basically had enough and are all coming together as one to call out the company. It's obviously not a good time for this to be happening with Linda McMahon's senate campaign and is also part of the reason talents are speaking up now. They feel that WWE will be forced to do something about it.
We hope to have exclusive details on that meeting tomorrow evening prior to RAW going live.
Stay tuned to eWN for the latest.

Ghost Pepper Salt
This fiery salt is handcrafted with our chile-head customers in mind. While it is a scorching blend, the salt to Ghost Pepper ratio tempers the intense bite of the chile. To best infuse the spicy heat and unique flavor in every granule, we use a liquid binder (similar to the process we use to make our vanilla sugars).
Ingredients:Kosher salt, naturally flavored chocolate extract and ghost peppers
After experimenting with a few different flavors, we found that chocolate extract gave the best balance. Chocolate and chile are a great pairing but our Ghost Pepper Salt does not taste like chocolate. The chocolate aroma prepares the palate for a blast of chile heat. While this doesn't alleviate the heat, it does make the impact more pleasant. Try using Ghost Pepper Salt to fire up chicken wings, chili, fajitas, or use in place of hot sauce.
