Reality Check and FINALLY, THE CALLUP!!!
With the Twins having the day off last night, I decided to get caught up on some reality TV. If you're only interested in my Twins thoughts, you'll have to scroll down, because there are a few there. AND, the Twins made some BIG news last night, so it's worth checking out!! Don't worry, there'll be a nice feature again tomorrow!
OK, I live in far northern Minnesota and I'm a sports fanatic. So, you'd have to assume that last night, I would have watched the Stanley Cup Finals Game 7 between the Ducks and the Devils. Heck, I live in Hockeytown U.S.A. But, I didn't really watched NHL hockey until the Wild won a couple of playoff games, and I quit watching about midway through the Wild/Ducks series. I just can't watch hockey. (note: I guess the New Jersey Devils won!)
But, one advantage of living just 6 miles from the Canadian border is that I get CTV, a national television network much like ABC, NBC or CBS. The only difference is that CTV can be a bit more risque. For instance, The Sopranos, uncut, shows up at night sometimes, language and all. However, tonight it was pouring outside (again) , so I flipped through the channels and on CTV was the first episode of Canadian Idol. Yes, the Canadian version of the ever-popular American Idol. So, I hit "record" on the VCR, and taped that.
I had to see if I was, in fact, a genius. Fox aired a show called "Test the Nation: What's Your IQ?". OK, I didn't really think I was a genius, but I love taking tests like that, always have. There's no pressure. If I'm an idiot, so what? Basically, for an hour and a half, the nation was able to take the test Live. There were 60 total questions covering the different disciplines that apply to evaluating a person's IQ. It was a timed test, so I took it along with the country. At 8:30 then, they explained how to figure out your IQ. Basically, it was to take the number you got correct and then they showed a chart. It showed the number correct and gave your IQ depending on which age group you are in. Being 27, I figured my IQ in the 17-34 age category. OK, how did I do? Well, I got 54 out of 60 questions correct, giving me an IQ of… 126. They say that 130 is genius and 90-110 is average, so I guess I'm above average, yet not quite a genius. I'm OK with that!
For the record, Men throughout the country averaged 113, and women averaged 111. Hmmm… I won't dive into that any further than just to point out the numbers.
OK, back to Canadian Idol…
Like American Idol, they have try outs throughout the country. They went to eight cities across Canada. In last night's first episode, they showed these tryouts from Vancouver, Calgary and Winnipeg. A slight difference is that Canadian Idol has four judges. They are Sass Jordan (a singer who has 10 albums), Zack Werner (A former singer, now an entertainment lawyer and manager), Jake Gold (a music executive as well), and Farley Flex (a hip-hop executive). I think the 2 executives are trying to be somewhat like Simon. More direct, honest and confrontational. Jordan is the musician, like Paula Abdul, just not quite as sweet. Flex is more the nice guy (At this point), but is honest too.
I'm just noticing that there is a huge difference between who the American Idol judges took to LA and who the Canadian Idol judges are taking to Toronto. The Canadians seem to be taking many contestants that really can't sing well. I'm finding myself completely disagreeing with the judges on their selections. There were a few contestants that stood out as pretty good musically that didn't make the cut. So, I think this will be quite different.
So, I don't know how I feel about the show yet, but don't worry, I'll keep watching and let you know what I think!

Twins Jottings -
The Twins signed RHP James Baldwin!!! The Twins signed RHP James Baldwin!!! He'll be in the AAA Rotation! Woo hoo!!! He had been with the Royals AAA Affiliate and pitched OK, but had it in his contract that if he wasn't called up to the Royals by June 1, he could become a free agent. OK, OK, that wasn't the big transaction the Twins made today because….
Well, the big topic on the Dickie Thon Twins Fan Forum yesterday was definitely who to call up to replace Chris Gomez. Ron Gardenhire had mentioned that there is a chance that player could be top prospect Justin Morneau. There were great arguments on both sides of that fence. Some want to see what Morneau can do right now. Some thought that he'd only be up for a couple weeks, and if he struggled, it could work against him.
All that said, Justin Morneau is now a major leaguer. The announcement was made last night. And, now, he joins Corey Koskie and the Twins have 2 Canadians on their 25 man roster! Scary! (With the Rockies in town, with Larry Walker, will those 3 be the most Canadian players to play in a major league game?) Anyway, with that move complete, there are some more very interesting questions to ask:
· Morneau will play. They wouldn't bring him up just to keep him on the bench, so where does he play?
· Well, Doug Mientkiewicz shouldn't be taken out of the lineup right now. He's hitting the ball very well. So, I don't see Morneau playing much 1B (although, he may spell Mientkiewicz - not literally - a few times).
· My guess is that he will be the primary Designated Hitter while he is in The Show.
· But, Bobby Kielty and Matthew LeCroy do most of the DH'ing, what will happen with them?
· If Kielty is able to throw and play RF, we may be back to the old Dusty Kielmohr platoon out there. Kielty will continue to pinch hit as well.
· LeCroy was the catcher that played on the NL roadtrip, maybe he'll get more At Bats as the backup catcher.
· Both can still DH when Morneau plays at 1B.
· Why do they need Tom Prince as a catcher if LeCroy is getting the chance to play when AJ gets a rare day off?
· Well, for Tom Prince, this may not be good news. If Morneau proves to be ready to stay in the big leagues, I see the Twins just cutting ties and releasing Tom Prince. He's had just 24 at bats the Twins 61 games so far. If the Twins really feel that Matthew LeCroy being their backup catcher is a viable option (And I think they do), the move just makes sense.
· So, what will the Twins lineup look like tonight against RH Jason Jennings and the Rockies? (Note - guess only!)
· Jacque Jones LF
· Cristian Guzman SS
· Corey Koskie 3B
· Torii Hunter CF
· Doug Mientkiewicz 1B
· Bobby Kielty RF
· Justin Morneau DH
· AJ Pierzynski C
· Luis Rivas SS
· That is, of course, assuming Koskie's back allows him to be able to play 3B. The bench will have Dustan Mohr, Tom Prince, Matthew LeCroy, Denny Hocking and Lew Ford. Still no real lefty off the bench. (If Koskie is unable to play, Hocking will play 3B and bat 2nd, with Guzman leading off and Jones in the 3-spot.)
· What does this mean for Todd Sears? To me, that's a big question. Morneau has now 'passed' him in the organization. He's more than proven he's better than a AAA player and deserves a chance in the big leagues.
Prospect Updates
Here are the preseason Twins Top 10 Prospects according to Baseball America:
1.) Joe Mauer - C - hitting (.338/.403/.417) in Ft. Myers.
2.) Justin Morneau - 1B/DH - Started in AA (.329/.384/.620, with 6 homers, 13 RBI in 79 AB's), called up to AAA when Todd Sears was brought up and hit there (.297/.377/.623, with 13 homers and 29 RBI in 138 AB's). Continued to kill the ball, and today, he is in the major leagues.
3.) Michael Cuddyer - OF - started as Twins RF. After struggling in sparce playing time, he was sent down to AAA, where he's played numerous positions and hit well (.397/.500/.534). On DL with pulled hamstring.
4.) Michael Restovich - OF - If not for Morneau, he'd be leading Rochester in home runs (.262/.324/.445, 8 homers, 36 RBI, but 61 SO's in 221 AB's).
5.) Denard Span - OF - Last year's #1 pick has been in extended spring training and will start rookie league ball in the next couple weeks.
6.) Scott Tyler - RHP (1-7, 5.10 E.R.A. in Quad Cities)
7.) J.D. Durbin - RHP - named Twins minor league pitcher of the month in May for Fort Myers (8-2, 3.32 E.R.A. ).
8.) Jason Kubel - OF - (.295/.361/.414) in Fort Myers.
9.) Lew Ford - OF - started well at AAA (.318/.270/.486), currently the Twins #4 or #5 OF.
10.) Adam Johnson - RHP - struggling again at AAA (2-7, 8.56 E.R.A.).
Hopefully, I'll have plenty more to write about Justin Morneau and the Twins for tomorrow.
Ah, sleep is a beautiful thing!!! This West Coast-Games start at 9-Games finish after midnight thing makes getting to work AND BEING ALERT a lot more difficult. It'll be nice seeing those 7:05 game times again.
Friday Night - Twins 7, Padres 5 -
Saturday Night - Twins 6, Padres 2 -
Sunday Afternoon - Twins 4, Padres 9 -
Friday night, Kenny Rogers was great and looking for his 150th career win. He went 7 innings, 1 run. LaTroy Hawkins pitched a scoreless inning. Then, in the 9th, "Uneasy" Eddie came in and finally actually blew a save. As I mentioned last week, I'm never comfortable with Eddie in the game because he always puts a runner or 2 on. Friday night was the first time in 24 save opportunities that the discomfort was actually warranted. Eddie gave up 3 runs and the game was tied at 4. Jacque Jones hit a bad-hop single to score a run in the 9th. JC Romero was brought in to finish the game. If Eddie makes me uneasy, I don't know what Romero makes me! He got the bases loaded, and ended up throwing a 50 foot pitch that bounced off AJ's mask, allowing the tying run to score. The next pitch, he struck out the batter (Matthew's Jr.). With runners on 2nd and 3rd and 2 outs, Chris Gomez lined a double down the left field line to score 2 runs, giving the Twins the 7-5 lead. JC made it interesting again in the 11th, but got the win!
Saturday night was a different story. Johan Santana was on the mound and he was fairly dominant for 6 innings. Jacque Jones led off the game with a home run, and hit a second a couple innings later. Tony Fiore pitched a scoreless 7th before letting a couple guys on and giving up a run-scoring single to former Twin Brian Buchanan. With a 'save situation', Gardy brought in Michael Nakamura for his major league debut. He proceeded to strike out pinch-hitter Dave Hansen on a back-door hook. He also pitched a scoreless 9th inning to complete the save.
Sunday afternoon, the Twins played a close game. Doug Mientkiewicz hit a 2 run homer to give the Twins a 3-2 lead. LaTroy Hawkins again came into a tough situation in the 7th and got the Twins out of it still tied at 3. In the top of the 8th, Torii Hunter hit a line drive that, at its peak, was maybe 15 feet off the ground, yet somehow went over the left field fence, giving the Twins the 4-3 lead. Gardy made the decision to keep Hawkins in the game and well, he had his worst "inning" (actually, he got just 1 out in the 8th), giving up 4 runs, including a 2 run homer to Ryan Klesko. Michael Nakamura gave up 2 more runs, but got the last 2 outs. Hawkins got the loss to drop to 4-1 on the season. It was his first loss since 2001!
Chris Gomez game-winning double on Friday night is even more impressive when we found out Saturday that he has some torn ligaments in his knee. He had an MRI done Saturday, and will be put on the Disabled List. So, the question is, who do they call up? Well, my thought is that the player that would make the most sense in replacing Gomez would be Michael Cuddyer. However, he's now on the AAA Disabled list with a bad hamstring. So, I think they will recall Todd Sears. Denny Hocking will have to back up all three infield positions. Sears can back up Mientkiewicz at 1B, DH, or just be a solid left-handed bat off the bench. Other options:
Justin Morneau (I don't think that would fit the Twins philosophy, although it has to be tough to keep him down)
Michael Restovich (they don't need another outfielder)
Jason Bartlett (a shortstop they acquired from the Padres for Buck Buchanan. He's doing well at AA, but he's not on the 40 man roster, so they'd have to drop someone from the 40 man roster)
Luis Rodriguez (2B at AAA, not doing poorly, not considered a prospect so they wouldn't have to play him much, but also not on the 40 man roster)
Carlos Pulido (LHP. He's been starting at AAA, but would be another LH arm in the bullpen as long as Santana is in the rotation. Not on the 40 man roster.)
Doug Mientkiewicz had a great series. After struggling so much, and his ankle injury, there was much talk about Todd Sears and even about maybe bringing up Justin Morneau sooner, rather than later. But, Mientkiewicz now has his batting average over .300 again (.301/.363/.520). And, the defense is incredible!
Tom Prince caught the last 2 innings today, his first appearance in the 6 game NL road trip. Matthew Lecroy was behind the plate the first 7 innings. I have to admit, I don't understand this at all. First, I don't think Lecroy is very good defensively, at least not compared to Prince. Sure, he hit pretty well for a few weeks about a month ago, so I can see trying to get his bat in the lineup. But, if they actually think he can catch, why is Tom Prince even on the roster?
Minnesota 35-26 -
Kansas City 30-30 4.5
Chicago 28-34 7.5
Cleveland 24-37 11.0
Detroit - I won't put their record on here! That would be too mean!
Colorado comes to town on Tuesday. Should be a good series! They come in with the power hitters Todd Helton (.325/.430/.558, 18 doubles, 12 HR, 52 RBI), Larry Walker (.275/.431/.484 and Preston Wilson (.305/.368/.576, 22 doubles, 14 HR, 54 RBI). They just finished a series where they lost 2 of 3 to the Royals in Colorado. At 32-32, they are 8 games behind the San Francisco Giants in the NL West.
Tuesday night, it's Brad Radke (5-5, 5.53) vs. 2002 NL Rookie of the Year, Jason Jennings (4-5, 5.38)
Basketball -
The New Jersey Nets took back home court advantage on Friday night by winning game 2 in San Antonio.
The San Antonio Spurs took back home court advantage on Sunday night by winning game 3 in New Jersey.
Game 4 is also in New Jersey, on Wednesday night.
Reading -
I got my copy of Moneyball back this weekend and now have about 50 pages left in that.
I've been reading bits from Rob Neyer's Big Book of Baseball Lineups. Great book! Fun reading!
While I didn't have Moneyball, I started reading Jim Kaat's autobiography, Still Pitching. It looks like it'll be an easy read, and I always loved listening to Jim Kaat on TV, so I'm looking forward to diving into that book more. I'll write more about these books when I finish them.
Have a great week!

The Prague Advertisement
"How will you mark the anniversary?" I asked Václav Havel earlier this year. No need to say which anniversary.
"We shall hold a symposium," he said. It would discuss the significance, not just of the Prague Spring and the Soviet invasion, but of all those "years of eight" which have been turning points for Czechoslovakia and the whole of Europe in the twentieth century: 1918, 1938, 1948, 1968. Interested Western scholars, intellectuals, and writers would be cordially invited. Perhaps I would be kind enough to prepare a paper? They would try to hold the meeting quite openly. They would inform the authorities.
In early November, a few days before the date of the planned meeting, Havel himself went to the prime minister's office, and explained the project to an official deputed to receive him. This man said neither yes nor no. But actions speak louder than words. On November 10, as we, the Western guests, began to assemble in Prague, virtually all our Czechoslovak hosts—scholars and members of the country's main independent groups—were locked up or placed under house arrest. Havel was in hiding.
A lady with a red flower would meet us at breakfast, we were told. She would lead us to the meeting place. So there we sat, on Friday, November 11, in the faded Jugendstil splendor of the Hotel Paríz, a score of academics, writers, human rights activists, and parliamentarians from Western Europe and the United States, waiting for the lady. Several prominent Western guests, including Marion Gräfin Dönhoff of Die Zeit and the eminent dean of Copenhagen University, Ove Nathan, had been refused visas on the grounds that the gathering was "illegal"—although by what law the Czechoslovak representatives could not say. Our hosts were in prison. Plainclothes police swarmed around the hotel. I anticipated arrest, expulsion.
Then in through the glass doors came not a lady with a red flower, nor yet a policeman with handcuffs, but…Václav Havel. He walked quickly to our table, sat down, and formally declared the meeting open. Within seconds, three plainclothes men were behind him. "Well, in this moment I am arrested," said Havel. But before they hurried him away he managed to repeat, with quiet emphasis, that he had declared the symposium open.
Sally Laird of Index on Censorship photographed the scene. More secret police moved in to confiscate her film. As we argued with them we noticed a large, muscular woman in a tight-fitting leather jacket sitting in the foyer, with not just one flower but a whole bouquet. She moved toward us and theatrically distributed unmarked envelopes. Inside, we found the most extraordinary poison-pen letter it has ever been my privilege to receive. Typed and photocopied, with the text in English, German, French, and Italian, it read as follows:
I am warning you that the action called symposium CZECHOSLOVAKIA 88 is illegal and its performance would be contrary to the interests of Czechoslovak working people and consequently illegal. In this …

DAVIS, CA (CBS13) - A soccer game taunt is getting a lot of attention, not only for the message, but for who's behind it.
A group of fans from Davis made the controversial banner for a high school game against Jesuit. Some call the sign homophobic and that's just the beginning.
"I got pretty disgusted as the night went on," parent Christine Totah said.
In fact, sisters, and mothers, Christine Totah and Lisa Qvistgaard say the behavior at Davis High School's recent boys' soccer game was downright disgusting.
"They were chanting, f*******, f******s; because they were playing Jesuit and it's an all boys school," said Totah.
It was blatant nonstop homophobic slurs hurled out of the Davis fan section.
"The parents were laughing; they thought it was funny," said Totah.
Then three young men, dressed in hot dog outfits, came out with a sign reading "Jesuit Hearts Weiners."
Totah, enraged, stood up and tore it from their hands.
"They called me a lot of really choice names," said Totah.
But the sisters didn't stop there. They left so upset that it sparked Qvistgaard to write a letter to the local paper, which received mixed but mostly positive reaction.
"It was pretty funny when I heard about it," goalie Jesus Gutierrez said. I saw pictures of it."
Davis High players had mixed feelings about the sign and its reaction.
"Sometimes our school gets a little too hyped up in the rivalry and long held stereotypes about the all-boys school come out in this game," said Rami Rashamwi. "It wasn't very appropriate."
Head Coach Alex Park stressed the players themselves were not involved.
"For us, we can't control the fans. We can only control our players," said Park." I think we did a good job."
For Totah and Qvistgaard, the hope is that it becomes a chance to learn.
"You are responsible not just your intent, but you're also responsible for the outcome of your action," said Qvistgaard.
The school district has denounced the actions and said the fans involved were not students at any school in the district.

My work term at Microsoft is coming to an end. I've been working on my work report, which will likely be my last post to the blog I have at Microsoft. In the spirit of leaving on a good note, I'm planning on bringing in some beer and scotch for my last day.
Work reports have never been something which I've enjoyed doing even with Simon Law's wonderful work report package. I keep on intending on releasing an updated version of his template, but I have yet to have one of my work reports conform the formatting guidelines, which seem to vary in interpretation from term to term.
I'm looking forward to the break between terms, this term has been too busy for me to get much interesting work done on my own projects. I'm hoping to have something resembling working before I have to jump back into next semester.

Almost Finished at Microsoft & Work Reports

Yeah, work term reports always seem kind of arbitrary.
This is sad, because uw-wkrpt is a very literal reading of the guidelines. In fact, the documentation justifies each of the weird formatting decisions made by the package, based on the guidelines set at the time it was written.
I suppose things have changed since I went to Waterloo. I'd be happy to make the package available on something like Google Code, where people can collaborate. - 6:24 PM

Eddie Money
Eddie Money
Eddie Money arrived in the late '70s at the height of album rock's popularity. While Money didn't have a remarkable voice, he had a knack for catchy, blue-collar rock & roll, which he delivered with a surprising amount of polished, radio-friendly finesse. He was able to survive in the early MTV era by filming a series of funny narrative videos, something his AOR peers were reluctant to do. However, he wasn't able to resist the temptations of a rock & roll lifestyle, and his popularity dipped in the mid-'80s as he struggled with various addictions. Once he sobered up, he made a remarkable comeback in the late '80s, with singles like "Take Me Home Tonight" and "Walk on Water" reaching the Top Ten. It proved to be Money's last string of hits -- during the early '90s his popularity faded and, aside from very intermittent returns to the recording studio as an independent artist, he retired to the oldies circuit.

Sept. 19, 2012 - As he drove to his office Sept. 7, Denver Auxiliary Bishop James D. Conley got a call on his cell phone from Washington, D.C. Guessing it was the apostolic nuncio, his only contact in Washington, he pulled over to answer it.
It was indeed Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, the Vatican's representative in the United States. He told Bishop Conley the pope had appointed him bishop of the Diocese of Lincoln, Neb. ... [read more]

After a short hiatus from our Walking Every Street In Albany Project, this morning we continued the journey. For those familiar with the Berkeley / Albany area, today's walk was between San Pablo Avenue on the West, and The Alameda on the East. We walked a grid pattern between Solano Avenue and Marin Avenue.
One thought on "Walking Every Street In Albany: Solano Avenue Grid"
Nice scotty.

Fiddling around with the VGA TV Box I got. TV image quality is quite good and channels switch fast.
DVD upscales very good and smooths out the image, need to fiddle around with the colors to look good, still prefer to watch videos directly from my DVD player's VGA output. On older game consoles such as the PS one and Gamecube, it does get rid of the interlacing and smooths out the image helping a lot with the jaggies, the downside is that colors are not as vibrant as they would be with a direct connection which may turn purists away, the images look pretty much like they do when run on emulators. Response is fast so this one can be used for gaming, since it smooths out the image, it may show the lower resolutions and artifacts of the graphics on older consoles. Still, quite happy with the acquisition, just need to fiddle around with it to get a more smoother image vs color balance. |

Great for ASVAB Math prep without all the hassle and expense!
Browse our ASVAB Math lessons below or search for the exact lesson you need!
"This helped me increase my ASVAB score from a 47 to a 89. It really works."
"I love this site so much...Math was sooo hard to me and I was trying so many times to pass and get a high score on the ASVAB math test for the Military...and then I found this website...it broke down every lesson to where I can understand it...and mostly it made it fun to do math...I went from a score of 28 to 45 on my ASVAB...now this spring I will be in the United States Navy...Thank you!"
"Your lessons were invaluable in my success on the ASVAB. My score went from a 49 to an 80. Best money I ever spent."
"Since I was strapped for cash for a personal tutor, I decided to purchase the online subscription to help me pass the ASVAB math. I brought my failing score up 20 points because of this web site. I could not have enlisted into the military without the help of this web site. Hats off to YOURTEACHER...I AM IN THE ARMY NOW!"
"I signed up for your ASVAB math course & just returned today after scoring very well on the exam! Thanks for an amazing tutorial."
"I was using the program to improve my ASVAB score to qualify for Marine Corps Officer's Candidate School. I improved my score from a 60 something to a 77. Many points above the necessary 70. I really enjoyed the program, and if you diligently use it you will accomplish what needs to be done."
"Unlike the ASVAB math practice books I got from Barnes & Nobles, this gets right to the point and simplifies everything. This is a must buy for any future recruits out there."
"I love this. It's way better than all the math ASVAB books. It's like a tutor and anybody can understand it."
"This is such an excellent tool that I am using right now to help me study for the ASVAB exam. Math is my weakest subject. But it is quickly becoming one of my stronger subjects. There are videos, problems for you to solve on your own, challenges to each section where there may be an exception to the rule for solving a specific problem, or just a harder question to really make you think. Honestly, if someone like me can understand it, then it can help anyone."
"I needed to brush up on my math before I took the ASVAB test. I passed with a GT score of 114 - I needed a 110. I love your site and I refer everyone that asks me about tutoring."

"I found this site to be very helpful while studying for the ASVAB test - I hit a 78 on it! That is a very good score - with that score I was able to get a $50,000 bonus and made to OCS, thanks to yourteacher. A very pleased customer, and a future LT. in the US Airforce."
"I was using the program to increase my ASVAB GT to meet the requirements to become a Warrant Officer. I have always struggled with math. Your program keep my study habits organized and on track. I made sure to go through every section. Not only did I meet the requirements needed to begin the WO predetermination process, I raised all of my ASVAB scores by an average of 13 points per line score! I can directly credit your site to helping me attain my goal. THANK YOU!!!! I have since referred a few of my fellow Soldiers and friends who have expressed an interest in going to school or pursuing a better career in the military. I am sure that if they take advantage of what you have so efficiently built, they will be able to test out of lower level courses and reach their goals more quickly.."
"Let me tell you - the system is working for me. Thank you very much for all the lesson you guys have taught me. I am really looking forward to taking the ASVAB math and this time getting the score I need to cross-train and become a flight engineer in the air force."

This site goes through everything step by step to show you how to work the problems. Also the instructors are so clear in explaining. Awesome job guys."
"I've been looking for help on the ASVAB math for a little while and since I'm more of a visual learner, I thought this would help and it really has been helping me alot!!!"
"Hi, I really liked the program - I learned a lot. I subscribed to bone up on an ASVAB math test in order to go to the Navy. I have now been accepted since I used the program and I ship out this month. Thanks again so much!"

The Columbia Fire Department's quick response to a fire at a chemical plant prevented a potential disaster Saturday afternoon.
Brick Lewis with the fire department says firefighters were called to Lindau Chemicals on Granby Lane off Bluff Rd at about 12 p.m. Saturday.
Lewis says a coating on the exterior of a chemical tank was burning. The tank contained a chemical used to make paint adhere to surfaces. Firefighters put water on the exterior of the tank and prevented the fire from spreading to the chemical inside.
Lewis says the neighborhood was not threatened by a possible release of chemicals.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Found Drea's camera today at the school. She is still nowhere to be found.
Flipping through it I found the old videos we made and pictures we took. Back in "the before times", as SouthPark would call it, when zombies were figments of the imagination brought on by hollywood and voodoo. Back when we would go to the costume shoppe and buy gallons of fake blood at a time then go back to the house and pretend to be zombies. Running around, chasing our friends, laughing as we…

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) - A shortage of food animal veterinarians in the U.S. is not expected to turn around anytime soon and could have implications for the quality of the nation's food supply.
In areas where there are too few veterinarians overseeing the health of too many livestock, some veterinarians say, there's an increased risk that animal diseases can spread.
Food animal vets do a lot more than treat sick farm animals. They're on the front lines for catching disease and stopping it from spreading to other animals - and people - and are vital to food safety.
They also play a critical role in agricultural economics: Healthier livestock means more money for farmers.
Nationwide, only 17 percent of vets work in food animal medicine, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association. In Minnesota, several rural areas have a shortage of veterinarians who work with livestock, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
In North Dakota, "there's definitely a need for vets" in underserved and rural areas, said Neil Dyer, director of the veterinary diagnostic lab at North Dakota State University. He advises students in the school's pre-veterinary medicine program.
The problem is more acute in central and western North Dakota, which has more livestock and bigger gaps in availability of veterinary services, he said.
In those areas, "smaller communities struggle to keep a full-time vet in-house," he said.
Nationally, the shortage is projected to grow 4-5 percent annually through 2016.
There's "definitely" a shortage, said Charlotte Klose, a veterinarian who has practiced in Park River for 16 years.
"It's hard work and long hours and the pay probably isn't what people think it is," she said. "It's harder to get people to go into large-animal veterinarian medicine."
Being a vet "is not the most glamorous job," she said. "I say that to my clients when I'm covered with blood and manure. You can't worry about your nails or your makeup."
Klose said the shortage can be explained by the downturn in rural populations generally.
"It's the same reason our schools are getting smaller," she said.
The shortage is partly a result of too many students entering the pet care field, said Rene Carlson, president of the American Veterinary Medical Association. It's also a matter of economics.
"The reality is that communities may not have enough caseload to support a vet," said Charlie Stoltenow, extension veterinarian at NDSU and board president of the North Dakota Veterinary Medical Association.
In addition, students' burden of debt at graduation and the high cost of establishing a practice make it "difficult for (vet school) graduates to start out in a small community," he said.
"There are lots of costs - the building, buying the equipment and all the inventory; it's daunting. The veterinarian is essentially a small business owner," Stoltenow said.
Tuition for four years of vet school can amount to $200,000, he said, not to mention living costs during school. The average debt for vet school graduates is $150,000. Average starting salary is $60,000.
Stoltenow said he and his colleagues worry that the debt-load will cause graduates "to take jobs that are going to help them to pay back debt rather than choose a rural site, where they may want to go."

Reviews for Minted Rice with Garbanzo Curry(9)
Sort By :
We thought each part of the dish (rice and curry parts) were okay separate, but definitely were YUMMY together. These need to be made for the same meal and eaten in the same spoonful.
We used 1/8th tsp of the ginger because we only had ground ginger; and it was not over-powering (and I really don't like powdered ginger). Also used 2 Tbsp dried peppermint leaves instead of the fresh mint.
My husband said he could taste the mint, but I could only _feel_ it - at the junction of my nasal passage and my mouth. It was a wonderfully aromatic feeling.
Great dish Jemima! Thanks to your son for submitting it!!!
I'm a huge meat eater and this was a nice suprise. My 4 year old loved it. I followed the directions and it turned out delicious. I'm going to be making this one again.
Perfect weeknight vegetarian dish.
This recipe took me back to when I used to work for an Indian doctor and his wife as a nanny. They would always make extra when cooking so I could experience their foods and this was just wonderul.
I loved it

Teacher 'sick out' for right-to-work protest closes some Michigan schools
Tweet |
**Written by Doug Powers
A scheduled demonstration is now underway near the Michigan Capitol today to protest "right to work" legislation.
Hundreds of teachers have called in sick to attend the protest, leaving thousands of students with no school:
At least 26,000 children will miss school today because their teachers called in sick or took a vacation day to protest proposed right-to-work legislation, which is expected to pass today.
Warren Consolidated Schools, Taylor School District and Fitzgerald Public Schools are confirmed to be closed. It is also suggested that schools in Detroit and St. Johns may be missing a significant number of teachers.
"We've had an excessive number of teachers call in," Warren district spokesperson Robert Freehan said Monday afternoon. "We're concerned about the safety and security of the students, so we're treating it as a snow day."
The Warren district is the 9th-largest school district in Michigan. More than 15,000 students attend Warren Consolidated Schools. Parents will now have to scramble to find alternative care for their children because of the excessive teacher absences.
There could be more:
The Detroit Federation of Teachers was not planning to take busloads of teachers to Lansing but was encouraging teachers to go.
Asked whether high teacher absenteeism would close schools in Detroit, DFT President Keith Johnson said, "Hopefully."
Maybe he figures that the Detroit schools are performing so well that the kids can afford a day away from the classroom.
The Michigan Education Association claims the Right to Work legislation will be a detriment to the education of students in the state, and apparently they think there's no better way to prove it than by making kids miss a day of school.
At least this has made some union heads concerned about freeloaders:
"Whether proponents call this 'right-to-work' or 'freedom-to-work,' it's really just 'freedom to freeload,'" said Steve Cook, president of the Michigan Education Association.
More on the "free rider" assertion here. More on the "free stuff" thing here.
But just because some schools won't have class today doesn't mean there won't be a lesson:
As an email directed to retired Michigan Education Association members said: "Take a lesson from Wisconsin, brothers and sisters, protests alone won't do it. Cause mayhem!"
For the children!
Protesters are inside the Capitol as well:
More at Twitchy.

Very dirty everywhere and too much noisy at nights, because people are parting right in the middle of the hostel

This hostel seems to be set up for long term Russian guests. Many of the staff spoke no English at all and seemed genuinely pissed off that I was there. They had over booked this hostel so I was moved to their other, less conveniently located hostel which smelt of shoes and sweat, was over crowded and had some pretty disgusting toilets and showers and a very small kitchen. They also refused to register us. On the plus side, it's cheap and had a washing machine.

This memorandum outlines changes in the certification fee structure for Adult Day Cares (ADCs) consistent with the enactment of the state budget bill, Wisconsin Act 28, that became effective June 29, 2009.
Section 1314 of Wisconsin Act 28 amends §49.45(47)(c), Wis. Stats, to read (in part):
§ 49.45(47)(c) "The biennial fee for the certification required under par. (b) of an adult day care center is $127. Fees collected under this paragraph shall be credited to the appropriation account under § 20.435(6)(jm)."
The Department of Health Services will implement the new biennial certification fees on October 1, 2009. The fees will apply to regularly scheduled certification continuations and to new certification applications. When certification continuations are due, ADCs will receive advance notice from the appropriate Bureau of Assisted Living regional office. This notice will reflect the new certification fee.
Wisconsin Act 28 (2009) is available for review at the following website: http://www.legis.state.wi.us/2009/data/acts/09Act28.pdf (exit DHS)

Aromas of dried pineapple and honey follow through to a full body, with lots of ripe fruit and a long, fruity finish. A lively wine. Drink now. (Web-2010)
This was the first Verdicchio wine to enter the Riserva designation, back in 1988. It is aged in a combination of steel and oak barrels for one year, with an additional year of bottle age. One taste and it's all there: the hills of Italy's Marche region, the Medditerranean sun, white flowers, a hint of vanilla and pusuasive, savory character on the palate, with absolute harmony between acidity and fruit.
Below is a listing of the wine review scores we frequently reference in our notes. While these sources remain an excellent source of information, we always recommend that you trust your own palate.

And then he stepped outside & it was still raining
Gene Myers is on vacation this week, so he selected a favorite column to share. He returns next week with a new column.
It was a unique morning and he didn't know what to expect from the rest of the day. But that probably meant the rain was fine, and it fit his hazy mood. How is one supposed to feel after achieving enlightenment?
There was a glide to his step, not to be confused with the kind of glide that might come with self-confidence, it felt more like how he typically experienced his morning commute-almost on autopilot.
The surprise sting of hot coffee on his tongue subtly confirmed that, yes, another day was underway. He was already at the office standing in front of the water cooler about two hours after his grand realization. A life's worth of searching had come to an end earlier this morning. He reached the end of the universe and saw what was beyond it.
On the surface, he seemed a sensible man, reliable and steady to his coworkers. Truth be told, he was a restless searcher toiling away each waking hour with no idea what he was working toward.
"The search for the missing center," that was the subtitle of his book, a book he'd been working on for more than 20 years. He had no clue what that meant. He just knew that he needed to keep on writing.
That is, until this morning when a toe strangled by a blanket almost led to his death.
Sounds strange, doesn't it? That a man could die from a having a blanket rapped around his toe in his sleep? But it can happen.
If his blanket hadn't cut off the circulation to his toe, if the pain and confusion to which he awoke didn't send him into a state of shock (and we all know that shock can be deadly) his wife would have never uttered the words that led to his epiphany.
Up to this point, even though he had a nice home, loving family and two relatively new cars in the driveway, he saw his life as Shakespearean and in some ways, tragic. Failed efforts to love those around him kept him up nights. He did his best to burn the candle at both ends. He marked his path with the clues left by other artists that came before him.

every article I've read on abs including the one here on the BFL site recommend incorporating your abs 3x's a week on your lifting days..... Is this a problem with the 12 week program???
It does not matter when you do your ab training. I do my ab training after my cardio session. To me cardio and abs fit good together and it has worked well for me.

Women Derive Less Benefit from Elective Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair

Details of long-term study compares surgery results for men and women
March 30, 2012 Contact: Sue Crosson-Knutson 312-334-2311 firstname.lastname@example.com
CHICAGO – A study published in the April issue of The Society for Vascular Surgery's®
Journal of Vascular Surgery
reports that women derive less benefit than men from elective endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA's). The research was done at The Vascular Group, The Institute for Vascular Health and Disease, Albany Medical College, The Center for Vascular Awareness Inc., in Albany, NY.
Data was collected between 2002 and 2009 from 2,631 consecutive patients who had EVAR and open surgical repair (OSR) by The Vascular Group. Of these, there were 1,592 elective EVAR's (1,248 male, 344 female) and 106 emergent EVAR's for ruptured AAA's (73 male, 33 female). Elective OSR was performed in 788 patients (579 male, 209 females) and emergent OSR in 149 patients (73 male, 76 female).
"We analyzed the outcomes of all elective and emergent AAA's that underwent EVAR or OSR in women and compared results with those for men," said co-author Manish Mehta, MD, MPH. "The findings of our study indicated that the mortality for females undergoing elective EVAR was significantly greater than what was seen for males (3.2 percent for women, 0.96 percent for men). At presentation, women were also older and made up for a larger proportion of ruptured AAA patients than elective patients (33 percent vs. 23 percent)."
Women with elective EVAR had a greater incidence of intraoperative iliac artery or aortic neck rupture than men (4.1 percent vs. 1.2%), and required Palmaz stent s for type 1 endoleaks twice as frequently as men (16.1 percent vs. 8 percent). The perioperative complications were more frequently seen in women including leg ischemia mostly access related thromboembolic (3.5 percent vs. 0.6 percent), and colon ischemia requiring colectomy (0.9 percent vs. 0.2 percent). Women also had a greater mean intraoperative estimated blood loss (327 ml vs. 275 ml), and mean hospital length of stay (3.7 days vs. 2.2 days).
"Our study reflects the 'real world' clinical outcomes of in AAA patients with complex aortoiliac morphology and risk factors that undergo EVAR and OSR," added Dr. Mehta. "The fact that women tend to be older and more frequently present with ruptured AAA's suggests that women are less likely to undergo aneurysm evaluation than men. This delay in diagnosis might also reflect why women tend to have more complex aneurysm morphology that is less favorable for EVAR, they require more adjunctive and secondary procedures increasing their morbidity and mortality."
In contrast to elective EVAR, there were no significant gender differences for any of these outcome measures for emergent EVAR, or elective and emergent OSR. Overall outcomes favored EVAR over OSR in both men and women, but this difference was only statistically significant in men. "In comparing our study at Albany Medical Center to the published studies on the NSQIP (National Surgical Quality Improvement Program) database, it would appear that EVAR outcomes at large volume AAA centers might lower the mortality in men (0.96 percent in the Albany vascular group study vs. 2.1% in NSQIP database study), but not necessarily in women (3.2 percent in the Albany vascular group study vs. 3.4 percent in NSQIP database study). This further highlights the need for refinements in stent graft technology that would be better suited for women."

The original Breakout concept involves controlling a bat at the bottom of the screen and using it to catch and direct a ball so as to hit all the bricks which are arranged at the top of the screen. It was unpopular for over a decade, before Taito revived it with some new ideas in this arcade game.The game's plot redefines the bat as a Vaus spaceship, the ball as an energy bolt, and the bricks form a mysterious wall stopping the ship from progressing to safety.
By the mid-80s, power-ups were popular in most types of arcade games, and Arkanoid features them. They are caught by positioning the bat below them as they fall (meaning that you risk missing the ball if you go for them at the wrong time). The power-ups include lasers (which are mounted to each side of the ship and allow you to shoot out the blocks), a catching device (so as to be able to fire the ball off at a different angle every time you hit it) and one that slows the bolt down.

There are currently no topics for this game.
NES controller
The NES version of Arkanoid includes its own controller in the package (a smaller version of the spinner used in the arcade version). The game can also be played with the regular Nintendo controllers, but it is much harder this way since the paddle can't be moved as fast as with the spinner controller.Other platforms
In the 1990's a series of ARGO TV system console variants were produced each containing multiple games. Arkanoid is part of the 84-in-1 game set. See here for pictures.Awards

Problem fueling
Have a [COLOR=blue! important][COLOR=blue! important]2006 [COLOR=blue! important]GMC[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] Serria. Have been driving around with a check [COLOR=blue! important][COLOR=blue! important]engine [COLOR=blue! important]light[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] for some time. It is a p0455 EVAP large leak detected. I have been trying to get a smoke tester to find the leak. I now also have a problem filling the tank. I get spit back while fueling. Have resorted to filling with a funnel to cut down on fill time. Do you think it could be a vent valve? Any suggestions?
