It might not work out OK in the end, though. Either way, I'm reminded of how many pundits were so sure, just a few weeks ago, that of course Derek Jeter would never leave the Yankees. Something like that would be impossible. Except it's really not impossible, and never was.Rob Neyer | Sweetspot How does this square with Posnanski's "this is so predictable" piece? Does predictable mean impossible?
Let me put into perspective how bad things are for the Pirates—they haven't been relevant since the 1992 National League Championship Series. The hard luck loser of Game seven was Doug Drabek. His son, Kyle, is now a prospect for Toronto. That literally means a more effective way for the Pirates to rebuild would have been to take the 1992 team and put them out to stud.The Pirates need to pretend to go all-in | The Hardball Times All I can say is WOW at this column. Can anybody comment on the effectiveness of pretending to be interested in a player for appearance purposes? I can't think it would do anything other than backfire.
Padres Acquire Maybin from Marlins http://bit.ly/djKFU3 #mlbMLB Trade Rumors | Twitter Think a change of scenery will benefit Maybin? Doubtful. To quote @JDSussman: "I've never believed in Maybin. Wrote a piece @minorleagueball a few years ago about his high GB & SO rates dooming his chances of success."
This doesn't make the decision to decline the club option automatic. Whether a club has use for it or not, an asset is an asset and should be treated as such. Throwing away assets that other clubs could use before the maximum amount of value is extrapolated is always a mistake. Therefore, the appropriate question is, "how much trade value will Miguel Olivo have if he's under contract for 1 year and $2.5 million?"Talking Contracts: Miguel Olivo | Beyond The Box Score

What do you geek? Share your own story!
I was born in 1990 and we got our first computer around 1995. I remember it came in a ginormous box and it was a top of the line Compaq computer. My parents had no idea how to use it, how to set it up, or what to even do with it once they turned it on. My friends all had computers so I knew exactly what to do, and what went where, and why it went there. I remember my parents were confused when I had a better idea of what was going on than they did.
Around 1999 we finally replaced our slow dial up connection with high speed internet. It worked perfect on every computer in the house except for my sister's. The guy who set up our internet couldn't figure out how to make it work on my sister's computer. My parents were too busy/afraid of technology to call up our service provider to figure it out, so I called up our service provider and asked if there was anything I could do to fix the problem. After about an hour of holding and going through a list of questions they determined they didn't know what was causing the problem. I decided to take matters into my own hands, and started digging through the box my sisters computer came in. Remember these were the days before everyone posted everything on the internet and it was before "Google" was popular. I came across a CD that resets the computer back to factory settings. I put it in the computer and reset it, installed all the correct drivers, and then plugged the ethernet cable into the back of the computer. I crossed my fingers as I opened Internet Explorer. Microsoft's webpage opened up and my sister now had internet on her computer. I later learned that the process of resetting a computer is called reformatting it.
Around 2000 I was in sixth grade, and my CD drive stopped reading CDs. I called Dell and told them my disc drive was dead. My computer was still under warranty and they sent me a new CD drive. I had never opened my computer case until then, I had no idea what I was doing. When I opened it I could see how the disc drive connected to the motherboard and I disconnected the old CD drive. I took out the old CD drive and sent it back to Dell. I continued to install the new one that Dell had sent me, and it worked perfect! I remember thinking this is what I want to do with my life.
I took all the computer classes I could possibly take during the rest of middle school and high school. In tenth grade the Kalamazoo Valley Community College counselors came in and showed us all the programs and degrees they offered, and soon as I saw "Computer Support Technician" I jumped all over it. As of today I am 5 classes away from completing that degree, and I still love it now as much as I did back in 1995 when we setup our first computer.

Except for the outcome of the game, SoSG Fest 2010 was a successful afternoon spent.
I have to thank my fellow Sons, Orel, Alex Cora, and Delino DeShields for both attending and for footing the bill for the group. I have to thank Rafael and Kim, and their manager Chris, for their fine hospitality as well as the couple of rounds they generously donated to our livers.
And most importantly, I have to thank the fine readers of Sons of Steve Garvey for coming to watch Saturday's game with us, giving us a chance to meet the people behind the avatars (or future avatars). Honestly, your participation is a lot of the reason why we keep this blog going, and getting together and realizing that we're just as passionate about the Dodgers and sarcastic as all get out in person, as we are on the blog.
Plus, one of the Sons (who will go nameless), was honestly a little concerned that the event would be kind of lame. Unlike other Dodger blogs who organize big events at the Stadium, we figured a 45' tv screen might pale in comparison--but hoped that the prospect of endless sub-$12 beers (take that, Frank!) might compensate for being cooped up indoors (which frankly for an afternoon game isn't such a bad idea rather than baking to death; and, this was an outdoor patio). But the friendship, food and grog, and Dodgers made for a pretty sweet afternoon.
Communal laughing at the hipster wearing the open button-down shirt and orange short shorts was also pretty sweet (there's a European country waiting for you somewhere, buddy! This place is probably not your scene, however).
Dusty Baker was the first to show, almost an hour In advance, I needed a drinking buddy and he was kind enough to introduce me to Dos Equis Amber, which was a nice find (Dusty is the kind of guy who tells the change of seasons by the new Sam Adams brew getting connected on draft at the bar, so I trusted his recommendation).
Carlos (aka what_difference_does_it_make) was the next to show and he came jersey-adorned. Hearing him tell the tale of his visit to Angels Stadium, interacting with a racially offensive usher and totally uninterested guest relations department, built a level of bile about the Angels that I hadn't really established until then (I had always been neutral on the Angels, but the story of his treatment by Angels brass really pissed me off). Mr. Customer was close behind and finding out the overlap in his profession and some of the Sons' circles was pretty cool. Plus, he's bigger than I am, so I can attest he is indeed always right.)
The rest of the gang came pretty quickly thereafter. Nancy Bea, a regular reader but not yet a frequent commenter, said that what's holding her back from commenting was that she didn't have anything to say--which was met by a uniform chorus of "that doesn't stop any of us!", which was pretty hilarious. We are hoping Nancy Bea's friend "ShameyJamie" makes a debut comment soon. Josh S. came wearing a Win For Vin shirt and we are hoping that the unanswered texts to Mrs. S. doesnt mean he's sleeping on the couch. John G. had the coolest non-Dodgers t-shirt on; plus, his charming guest regaled us with tales of her friends who are dominatrixes (dominatrices?). Here's hoping she starts commenting, too.
And finally, betsy rodriguez and her husband were there. Some of you know that Betsy, a season-ticket holder, has graciously offered extra tickets on our site when they can't make the long drive from behind the Orange Curtain to the Ravine and back to Pomona. Those offers don't come all that often, though, because Betsy is a Dodgers diehard in the truest sense; she and her husband attend almost every game themselves. (And they don't pay for parking, so suck that, Frankie!) She's the kind of fan the Dodgers are honestly lucky to have--sticking with the team through this trainwreck of a season, and proud to be a Dodger fan throughout. We are grateful to have her as a reader on SoSG as well, and that she humped it out on a Saturday afternoon to help make sure that it wasn't a total "SoSG Fest".
But enough of this blather; on to the pictures:
One final thank you to all of you who were involved with SoSG Fest 2010, particularly those readers who attended. That was a fun time. We'll do this again sometime soon, so make sure your livers are still in training!

The 10th annual Eldridge Toy Run is sponsored by vehicle enthusiasts and businesses from all over northeast Mississippi and northwest Alabama.
"Anyone can join the toy run, whether you're a motorcycle or antique car enthusiast or not, because the toy run is all about the kids," Alabama benefit team member Brenda McClinton said. "We will also have a bike and car show and lunch will be served at noon at the Children's Home in Eldridge, and we're all getting very excited."
Since 1948, the Freewill Baptist Children's Home in Eldridge has given a home to children in all age groups without state or federal funding. Most of the support is from the home-base church with many other churches, civil groups and volunteers lending a hand both in services and financial support.
Mississippi benefit team member Don Norwood said this is not your ordinary Toy Run, as participants are asked to bring gift cards and donations to help support the Children's Home not only at Christmas, but throughout the new year.
"We do present gifts to all the children from their own Christmas 'wish list,' but we suggest gift cards and donations given to the home to help sustain it the entire year," Norwood said. "Since we began the ride, it continues to grow. Last year, we had over 650 bikes and donations reached $59,000, and over 1,200 people showed up in support of the children. We're hoping this year will be even bigger, because this children's home needs our support so it can continue to help the children who live there."
Norwood and McClinton said riders will be gathering at various locations in Mississippi and Alabama for organized rides to the Children's Home in Eldridge, and anyone can join the event at any of the following locations (gathering and/or kickstands up times are included):
•Florence, Tuscumbia, and Russellville Area — Customized Cyclez located at 1110 Alabama Hwy. 72 West in Tuscumbia at 8 a.m. with kickstands up at 9 a.m.
•Russellville — Fred's in the old Food World parking lot on Alabama Hwy. 43 South at 9:30 a.m. with kickstands up at 10 a.m.
•Amory, Miss. — Wal-Mart with kickstands up at 10 a.m.
•Hamilton — River Road Citgo at Exit 14 with kickstands up at 10 a.m.
• Haleyville — Arrival at 10:30 a.m. No stop.
• Natural Bridge — Arrival at 10:40 a.m. No stop.
• Jasper — Parkland Shopping Center (next Captain D's) 9 a.m. with kickstands up at 10:30 a.m. for the escorted ride to Eldridge.
• Sumiton — Alfa Insurance/Walmart at 10 a.m.
• Tuscaloosa — Northport Civic Center at 10 a.m.
• Sulligent — Piggly Wiggly Parking Lot at 10:15 a.m.
• Winfield/Guin — Plaza BBQ Parking Lot at 10:30 a.m.
"If you don't want to ride in one of the group rides, you can just join us at the children's home at noon," Norwood said. "Because no matter where you come from or how you get there, we guarantee you will leave with a warm heart for your ride home."
For more information, call Brenda McClinton at 205-275-8961, Steve Odom at 205-221-9487 or 295-8250 or Greg Clark at 2056-275-8087 or 205-648-6061. Information is also available at the Eldridge Toy Run website at www.echbenefit.com.

ST. PETER, Minn. — Roxanne Skogerboe's visit to the famed corpse flower was short and not sweet. She came in one door of the greenhouse at Gustavus Adolphus College, clasped her hand to her nose, sped past the big plant and shot out the other door.
"It's a cool thing, but I could have done without the smell," said Skogerboe. "I started gagging."
The college's rare Amorphophallus titanum plant, affectionately known as Perry, began blooming Thursday and was likely to be mostly done by Friday. During that short span, people from across Minnesota are expected to have visited this small liberal arts college for a view - and maybe a whiff.
"It's very popular," said chemistry professor Brian O'Brien, who cultivated the plant in 1998 with seeds from a San Francisco physician.
The corpse flower - its name comes from the repulsive scent it emits during the hours after it blooms - is found naturally only in the tropical rainforests of Sumatra, Indonesia. O'Brien said there are probably a few hundred plants cultivated elsewhere.
The flowers live for about 40 years and bloom every three to 10 years. Gustavus has a few other corpse plants, though their blooming stages uncertain.
This much is for sure: The blooming plants are a spectacle. When Perry first bloomed in 2007, about 7,000 visitors came to Gustavus to witness it. During its 2010 bloom, about 5,000 came to see the plant.
This year's visitors, invited to leave their impressions in a book, have compared Perry's smell to boiled cabbage, sauerkraut, poop, stinky shoes, road kill and zombies.
Bruce and Linda Ellefson of St. Peter came to see the plant for the first time, drawn by their son, Adam, a Gustavus student who helps in the greenhouse.
"The smell's not as bad as I thought it would be. It's not overwhelmingly horrible," said Bruce Ellefson said. "It's ironic it bloomed on Halloween. It's very appropriate."

Jeff Maehl - #15 - WR
|6' 0"/ 185 lbs.
|Paradise, CA
|Years played
Texans RB Tate developing undesirable reputation
The Texans, when healthy, have arguably the most talented one-two backfield punch in the NFL. But backup Ben Tate is proving that staying healthy is a tall order.
RB Grimes rejoins Texans
The Texans claimed RB Jonathan Grimes off waivers from the Jets and waived LB Mister Alexander.
Texans add DT McClain
The Texans signed DT Terrell McClain and placed rookie DE David Hunter on injured reserve with a toe injury.
NFL Links: Luck more impressive than RG3?
Andrew Luck is still better than RG3, Wade Phillips has the Texans' pass rush humming and Chiefs fans are feeling neglected.
AFC South Spin cycle: Texans send message to rest of AFC
The Texans sent an emphatic message to the rest of the AFC in Week Seven: the road to New Orleans appears likely to travel through Houston.
Texans first-rounder Mercilus starting to flash
First-round OLB Whitney Mercilus played the best game of his young career in the Texans' Week Seven pasting of the Ravens.
Texans rout Ravens in battle of AFC's best
Matt Schaub threw two touchdown passes and the Texans dominated a showdown of the AFC's two teams, routing the Ravens 43-13 on Sunday.
AFC South Spin cycle: Texans' mistakes add up
The Titans got a much-needed win over the Steelers, Glover Quin and the Texans were humbled by the Packers and the Colts were crushed by the Jets.
Packers topple Texans behind Rodgers' six TDs
Aaron Rodgers set a career high six touchdown passes, and the Packers routed the previously unbeaten Texans 42-24 on Sunday night.
NFL Links: Texans' offense in no rush
The Texans aren't conforming to the NFL's hurry-up trends, Alex Smith is suddenly a savior and Pete Carroll squares off with his old team.
Cushing's absence likely to be felt most in Texans' dime package
The Texans will miss ILB Brian Cushing in a number of ways, but likely none greater than his coverage abilities in Houston's dime package.
Phillips: Slauson's block on Cushing 'unnecessary'
Texans defensive coordinator Wade Phillips said the block by Jets OG Matt Slauson that ended LB Brian Cushing's season was "unnecessary."
Broncos add WR-KR Holliday
The Broncos claimed WR-KR Trindon Holliday off waivers from the Texans, the team announced Thursday.
Texans sign LB Ruud
The Texans signed LB Barrett Ruud and released KR Trindon Holliday on Wednesday. They placed LB Brian Cushing on injured reserve.
Week Six primer: How deep are the Packers' problems?
Eric Edholm provides a sneak peek into Week Six, including what to watch for in the big Packers-Texans matchup on Sunday night.

Apart from the painful inequity of one species offering to give half the world to all the millions of others, I have to question that half will even be enough. E. O. Wilson is supporting the idea that the current mass extinction can be stopped by reserving half the Earth for wildlife.
Eben Lenderking's curator insight, August 25, 10:31 AM
A beautiful idea, but how on earth could it be done? And which half?
LONDON — Humans risk causing irreversible and widespread damage to the planet unless there's faster action to limit the fossil fuel emissions that cause climate change, according to a leaked draft United Nations report.
Garry Rogers's insight:
GR: Climate scientists such as James Hansen (http://wp.me/p26kDO-7c2) and biologists such as E.O. Wilson (http://wp.me/p26kDO-7ZO) believe we are in the midst of an emergency. More than climate change, we are reducing habitat through construction, farming, and grazing; we are aiding the takeover by invasive species (http://wp.me/p26kDO-4we), we are eliminating fresh water supplies for wildlife, and we are polluting the land, air, and water. Where is the emergency response?
We took a closer look at the claims and rhetoric of a model "humane," pasture raised egg farm.
Garry Rogers's insight:
Here's an excellent review of the issues and problems with hen eggs. Interesting to consider that chickens evolved in tropical forests, and are not at home in pens or pastures, and certainly not hen houses.
The imperiled marine mammals preserve kelp forests, which absorb carbon from the atmosphere.
Garry Rogers's insight:
The decline of Sea Otters reminds us that large animals play a large role in Earth ecosystems. Unfortunately, the new human regime has hit them hardest. Losing the ecosystem regulators probably accelerates the extinction of smaller species.

Turtles are well known for their longevity and protective shells, but it turns out these reptiles use sound to stick together and care for young, according to the Wildlife Conservation Society and other organizations.
After much speculation as to whether or not it would happen, the South African government has made it official. They have approved moving 500 rhino out of Kruger National Park. Of the rhino to be m...
Garry Rogers's insight:
Be sure to read Rhino Girl's closing remarks. The possibility of corrupt intentions is very high.
Forests are being destroyed and degraded at alarming rates—equivalent to 36 football fields every minute.
Garry Rogers's insight:
This is one of those cases where winning doesn't get you very much. What must we do? We have to keep pushing our tired bureaucracy to get the job done!
Sharks Play An Important Role in Our Ecosystem
From phys
A coalition of 13 conservation groups has filed notice that it will sue the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service over its decision to withdraw proposed protections for the wolverine.
Garry Rogers's insight:
Having to sue for protection for a species that is down to a few hundred individuals should not be necessary. Perhaps we need some new faces in the FWS.
"Agent Orange" crops are genetically engineered by Dow Chemical to promote the use of 2,4-D, one of the herbicides in the toxic mixture Vietnam veteran's know as Agent Orange.
you do a quick u-turn when you notice flashing car lights and police officers in the middle of a busy road wondering what to do with a large snapping turtle stranded in the middle of four lanes.
you know how to handle a snapping turtle, and you happen to have a carrier for it in your car. (See http://mefurr.wordpress.com/2014/05/13/a-snap-decision/.)
Garry Rogers's insight:
This is a role that most humans should play. We have the brains, and wildlife need us. Thank you Melanie.
"WASHINGTON – The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service today denied protections for the rare wolverine under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), potentially jeopardizing the species' long-term survival in the lower-48 states. Although the Service proposed to list wolverines as "threatened" in 2013 citing a primary threat of reduced habitat and range from climate change, the agency today said wolverines do not warrant a listing due to uncertainty about the effects of climate change on the animals, a claim disputed by conservation groups."
Garry Rogers's insight:
When a species' numbers get this low, there can be no denying that it is endangered. Without protection, trapping and habitat disruption by human activity will extinguish this fine example of nature's art. Has the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service no feelings for wildlife?
The FRMES project will culminate with publication of an online guidebook describing what ecosystem services are and why their identification and valuation can be useful to federal resource managers and planners. The guidebook provides a framework and methodology for ensuring consistent and credible application of the ecosystem services concept to planning and management efforts. It includes descriptions of how federal agencies are exploring or applying an ecosystem services framework. Laying the groundwork for the guidebook are two papers that explain how the Federal Land Management and Policy Act of 1976 and the National Environmental Policy Act enable or limit agencies' incorporation of ecosystem services approaches into federal planning and management processes.
The FRMES Guidebook will be unveiled at the A Community on Ecosystem Services Conference in Washington, D.C., December 8–12, 2014. Several events at the conference will focus on this guidebook including:
Garry Rogers's insight:
Concerned scientists have been working hard to bring nature conservation into mainstream land use management. The work has been focused on defining the value of nature to humans. How many dollars is a watershed worth, and so on. This year and next, the project will issue several publications that may help in the battles to save the species that make ecosystems work.
The coal industry has been dealt another blow after a state agency in Oregon denied a key permit for a controversial terminal, marking the latest salvo in an escalating fight between coal exporters and fossil-fuel loathing environmentalists on the West Coast.
Garry Rogers's insight:
They will be back.
From www
Seagrass is disappearing at the same rate as the rainforest and coral reefs. The loss equals serious environmental and economic effects.
Garry Rogers's insight:
Seagrass and kelp form critical habitats within marine ecosystems. Both grow in shallow water, and both are important recyclers of nutrients. Compared to terrestrial vegetation, we know little about these vegetation types. Biogeographers have mapped general distributions, but they have not made detailed maps of species associations.

Garry Rogers's insight:
Here's a suggestion that will let everyone who cares help protect elephants.
By Brooks Fahy, Executive Director, Predator Defense
"Recently one of our county's most highly respected environmental organizations, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), proposed that wildlife advocates improve the plight of wolves in Montana by purchasing a special wolf "conservation" stamp for $20. The money raised would allegedly be used to resolve wolf conflicts nonlethally, as well as for public education, habitat improvement and procurement, and law enforcement.
"Sounds great, right?
Garry Rogers's insight:
As much as we want to trust and work with our public agencies, we have to do so with caution. Shifting political breezes often force well-intentioned agency employees to change their commitments. We must seek strong, binding agreements before beginning any cooperative ventures.
The groups criticized the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on Tuesday for limiting its independent scientific advisers from speaking directly to the press.
"A decade into North America's fracking boom, the impact on wildlife and the environment remains largely unknown, according to a new study.
"We're conducting a giant experiment without even collecting the important data on the water, air, land or wildlife impacts," said Sara Souther, an ecologist at the University of Wisconsin, one of the co-authors of the peer-reviewed research examining the environmental impacts of shale gas development in the US and Canada.
Although the technique of hydraulic fracturing shale has been used for at least 20 years, there is "surprisingly little research" on impacts, found the study, published in the journal Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment."
Garry Rogers's insight:
When the U. S. Bureau of Land Management, U. S. Forest Service, and most State land management agencies permit fracking, they are required to assess effects. However, these agencies tend to ignore or make only feeble attempts to measure the consequences of one of their decisions. This is why the millions of acres of public land in the U. S. are in such poor condition.
The most perverse aspect of the animal testing debate: it's actually dangerous and fatal for humans, the very species the researchers claim to be doing all of this madness for.
James and Suzy Amis Cameron, the provocative power couple behind the first all-vegan school and countless successful films, are now reported by CNN to be promoting a plant-based diet as the cure for our environmental ills.

About the Petition
The number of adult great whites swimming off our Pacific Coast is alarmingly low, and they are losing their pups to deadly gillnets. If something doesn't change, they could disappear forever.
We shouldn't be scared of sharks, we should be scared for them.
Great whites help keep the ocean food web healthy and stable as they hunt their prey. Our oceans need sharks. We're petitioning the state of California to protect great whites as an endangered species. Please help us protect these iconic sharks — before it's too late.

The annual Biomedical Engineering Department Grad Day Symposium was held on March 27, 2014. Dr. John Raymond, CEO and President of the Medical College of Wisconsin gave the Anthony Sances, Jr. Memorial Lecture.
Biomedical engineering is a discipline that advances knowledge in engineering, biology and medicine to improve human health.
Students participate in cross-disciplinary activities that integrate the engineering sciences with the biomedical sciences and clinical practice. Biomedical engineers develop strategies to effectively solve challenging problems in medicine and biology.
Most graduates secure employment working in the medical device/biotechnology industry. Some graduates use our "renaissance" training as a stepping stone for careers in fields such as medicine, law, healthcare management, and academics.
The Department of Biomedical Engineering is a dedicated team committed to the Jesuit tradition of the pursuit of truth. We develop leaders and problem solvers skilled at applying engineering, science and design principles to improve health in the service of humanity by:

By Fox 2 News StaffDETROIT (WJBK) -- Celebrating the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Fox 2's Amy Andrews went to Osborn High School Preparatory Academy in Detroit Wednesday where the school is celebrating the King Holiday through service. Osborn's Principal, Calvin Patillo says, "This is an annual event where community service is taking place at Osborn. In this particular room we felt it was important that kids be exposed to entrepreneurship..so at the request of the students we decided to transform this room into a school store and also a venue for the kids to perform spoken word."Shantinique Shedrick, a student at Osborn says, "this fits in with Dr. King's message because we need to create a change. We are the 21st century and I wouldn't want his message to be wasted anymore than it is now. I feel we are better than this. We are Detroit and we can make change every day. We are not the stereotypical Detroit that everyone sees. We are far more greater than that and this is our message."For more information on how Osborn is celebrating the King Holiday check out Amy Andrews' full report and go to www.comebacktoDPS.com.

The capital of Canada is Ottawa, in the province of Ontario. There are offically ten provinces and three territories in Canada, which is the second largest country in the world in terms of land area.
While politically and legally an independant nation, the titular head of state for Canada is still Queen Elizabeth.
On the east end of Canada, you have Montreal as the bastion of activity. Montreal is famous for two things, VICE magazine and the Montreal Jazz Festival. One is the bible of hipster life (disposable, of course) and the other is a world-famous event that draws more than two million people every summer. Quebec is a French speaking province that has almost seceded from Canada on several occasions, by the way..
When you think of Canada, you think of . . . snow, right?
But not on the West Coast. In Vancouver, it rains. And you'll find more of the population speaking Mandarin than French (but also Punjabi, Tagalog, Korean, Farsi, German, and much more).
Like the other big cities in Canada, Vancouver is vividly multicultural and Vancouverites are very, very serious about their coffee.
Your standard Vancouverite can be found attired head-to-toe in Lululemon gear, mainlining Cafe Artigiano Americanos (spot the irony for ten points).
But here's a Vancouver secret only the coolest kids know: the best sandwiches in the city aren't found downtown. Actually, they're hidden in Edgemont Village at the foot of Grouse Mountain on the North Shore.
"It's actually worth coming to Canada for these sandwiches alone." -- Michelle Superle, Vancouver

HVHC to create Minimally Invasive Center of Excellence
July 22, 2010 - Dr. Klaus Thaler, a renowned expert in digestive and minimally invasive surgery and author of groundbreaking studies in the field, has joined Hudson Valley Hospital Center to create a center of excellence in minimally invasive surgery and digestive disease.
Dr. Thaler comes to Hudson Valley Hospital Center from the University of Missouri where for the past five years he served as Director of Gastrointestinal Surgery and co-chair of the Robotic Surgery program. Dr. Thaler has done groundbreaking work in the newly emerging field of natural orifice surgery, which is the next generation of minimally invasive surgery.
Dr. Thaler said his goal is to create a Center of Excellence in minimally invasive surgery at the hospital, ultimately, offering ground-breaking techniques in digestive surgery. His specialties include the use of laproscopic and endoscopic techniques in the treatment of diseases of the esophagus, adrenal gland, spleen, colon and gallbladder. His special focus is on the treatment of reflux (GERD); Paraesophageal Hernia Repair and achalasia (a swallowing disorder).
"Minimally invasive surgery is a very exciting field that offers limitless possibilities for patients to reduce trauma and promote faster healing," said Dr. Thaler. "By creating a Center for Minimally Invasive Surgery here at Hudson Valley Hospital Center we hope to offer our patients the latest, cutting edge technology closer to home."
John Federspiel, President, Hudson Valley Hospital Center said that Thaler's arrival was part of a continued effort by the hospital to improve the level of care for patients and provide the latest, state-of-the art medicine. Federspiel added that surgeons would have new more modern facilities in which to work with the opening in March of a new surgery center with state-of-the-art operating rooms and a bigger and brighter, post anesthesia care unit. The center has its own entrance and valet parking service and is next to the new Center for Rehabilitation Services.
"Our investment in this hospital – in the all new private room patient tower, expanded emergency room and a new surgery center – is helping us to attract the brightest and the best to Hudson Valley Hospital Center," said Federspiel. "Dr. Thaler is a welcome addition and it is our hope that having someone of his caliber will help us to build a Center of Excellence for Minimally Invasive Surgery that will be the best in the region."
Dr. Thaler's clinical work and research focus is laparoscopic and endoscopy surgery of the digestive tract including single incision laparoscopy and Natural Orifice Translumenal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES). Natural orifice surgery is a ground breaking surgical technology that enables surgeons to perform procedures without scaring. He was one of the first in the country to perform clinical trials in the area of natural orifice surgery and participate in an international trial to investigate transoral, incisionless weight loss surgery to treat morbid obesity (TOGA Study). Dr Thaler's work is published in over one hundred peer reviewed papers and six books.
As expert in his field, Dr. Thaler has given more than 50 lectures at national and international societies in recent years. He is actively involved in national committees and societies including the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES), the Surgical Society of the Alimentary Tract (SSAT), the American College of Surgeons (ACS), the American Society of Gastroenterology (ASGE), and the American College of Physician Executives (ACPE).
Dr. Thaler earned his medical degree at the University of Vienna and completed his residency in general surgery at the University of Vienna in Austria and at Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, Oregon. He completed a research fellowship in colorectal surgery at the Cleveland Clinic and a clinical fellowship in laparoscopic and bariatric surgery at the Center for Minimally Invasive Surgery in Portland, Oregon.
As a fellow of the American College of Surgeons, Dr. Thaler is board certified in the US and in Europe. Dr. Thaler lives in Peekskill with his wife Sibylle and has two children, David, 19, and Nici, 16.
Dr. Thaler's offices are located at 1985 Crompond Road, Bldg. C in Cortlandt Manor. Patients and physicians can contact Dr. Thaler by calling 914-736-1100.

How To Manipulate Pictures - A Tutorial by Yo's Dad

How To Manipulate Pictures - A Tutorial by Yo's Dad
My Fellow Cubbers:
Dennis asked me to put together a little set of instructions to help anyone who may need some help with pictures. I think most everyone already knows how to attach a picture to a message or set a picture as your avatar.
If all you need to do is set the size of your avatar or posted picture using IRFANVIEW, skip down to the header "How to Use IRFANVIEW". Go to line 16 and 17 and do your resizing. If you want to do a little more, then the rest of the list may be useful.
First let's assume you are taking a picture with a digital camera or you are having your film scanned and put on a CD. Now you have a digital file. What options do you now have and how can you make the most of your picture? Your picture will most like be saved inside the camera or CD as a file with an extension after the name, such as ABC123.jpg. This .jpg extension means that the file has been compressed to make the file size somewhat smaller. The bad thing is that during the compression process, some of the picture data is discarded and lost. Every time you resave that file, it gets compressed more and more and data is lost each time. What can you do to prevent this?
First, if your digital camera has the ability to save the file as a tif, or with a .tif extension after the file name, compression will not happen and no data will be lost. The bad news is that this creates a large file size.
If you have small memory cards in your camera, then you can't take as many pictures on that card without moving or deleting some of them. This brings us to the basic question of, what resolution and quality settings should I use when taking a picture with my digital camera. Some cameras won't give you a choice, others will. You must now ask yourself, what do I want to do with the picture I am about to take. If you EVER think that you would want to make a nice print from the picture, then you need to set your camera to its highest resolution setting. Set the save options to .tif if you can. Set the quality to low or medium. For some reason, the quality settings just don't affect the final print all that much. If you only want to make a picture to display on a computer monitor, none of this matters. The lowest resolution settings, quality and file type will make a nice computer display. Remember, you can now forget about making a nice 8x10 inch print.
For now, we will assume that you want to take your picture in such a manner so you have all future options available. You have taken your masterpiece at the highest resolution, low to medium quality, tif format if possible, jpg if not.
Now transfer that picture to your computer and save it. Now would be a good time to give it a meaningful name, instead of the number assigned by the camera.
Here is the fun part. Dennis would like for avatars to be no larger that about 85 pixels on the long side of the picture. If you make your avatar significantly larger that that, you push all of the text for that thread over to the right and force everyone to use the horizontal scroll bar to read each message. We all want to keep Dennis happy, so we will discuss how to do that in a minute. Dennis would also like for attached pictures, that is, pictures that pop up as part of your message, to also be small enough so that scrolling to the right isn't necessary. The complete picture pops up quickly, even on a slow dial up connection and everyone can see the whole picture without scrolling. I'm guilty here, so I need to follow this request also.
How do we do that? We need some sort of photo manipulation software. Adobe Photoshop CS is the industry standard (about $600). Adobe Photoshop Elements Version 3 is almost as good and totally effective for anyone not in the publishing business (about $100). PS Elements comes bundled with some scanners, printers and cameras. JASC Paint Shop Pro is also very good, but still costs $$$. Now for the good part. There is a software package that will allow you to adjust the brightness, contrast, gamma, all the colors, adjust the sharpness, crop the image, resize it to fit the message board parameters and save it in a variety of file types, such as tif and jpg. The best part is that it is FREE and a quick download from the internet. Here is how to get it.
Go to http://www.irfanview.com/main_download_engl.htm and download "Irfanviewâ€. It will come with the latest plugins. If you already have an older version, then download the plugins. Once downloaded follow the instructions, it will install itself, just take all the default settings. It will even make a red icon on your desktop.
Open the file you want to work on. Never make any changes to your original file. Make a copy and do all your work on the copy. If you mess up, just close your copy without saving it and open the copy again start all over. The following steps should be done in order to ensure the best final result. Skip any step that is not necessary.
1. Open the copy
2. Set the files to display thumbnails (little pictures) on the open window
3. Check the box "preview active boxâ€. This gives a preview of the picture
4. Do a 'file save as'
5. Rename the file if you want and then save it as a file type (tif) if not already a tif
6. Now highlight the file and click open, or double click on the file name
7. Use the + or – tools at the top to make the picture the size you want (these plus and minus tools only effect what you see on your screen, not the actual file size
8. From the menu bar, select Image/Rotate, right or left or whatever if needed
9. Now back to Image/Enhance colors and adjust the brightness, contrast and gamma. As you move the sliders, you see the result. This window will also allow you to then adjust the color (note, your monitor needs to be accurately set for color and brightness before you adjust these picture parameters, or you may be messing up a good picture. I will discuss setting your monitor at the end. After adjusting whatever you want, click Apply and OK.
10. Now is a good time to save what you have. Because you have saved the file as a tif, you don't cause any damage when saving. Save and stop anytime you want and then come back and do more later if you want.
11. If you want to experiment, go to Image/ Effects and do whatever you want (optional)
12. Now go to Image/Sharpen. Each time you click on Image/ Sharpen, the picture gets a little sharper. You can see the affect each time. Be careful, you can sharpen too much. If you go too far, you can click on Edit/Undo and go back one step.
13. If you don't need all of the picture or there is something near the edge you don't like, or you just want a section of the picture, then you need to crop it. Do this by drawing a box around whatever you want to keep with your mouse. Just hold down the left key and make your box. You can stretch the sides wherever you want after you let go.
14. When the box is where you want it, go to Edit/Crop Selection
15. Now save the new cropped selection as a new file, with a new name and as a tif.
16. The last thing you need to do is size the image for the intended purpose. If you are making your avatar, then go to Image/Resize/Resample. Put a check in the box that says "Preserve Aspect Ratioâ€. Set the size to about 85 pixels for the long side of the picture. The short side will be set automatically, such as 85x65 pixels. Save the picture and put your dimensions in the file name such as: redcub85x65.tif. Now save it again with the same name, but change the file type to jpg. This is the file that you will use as your avatar.
17. For pictures that you want to attach to a message, do the same as above, but set the long side of the picture to about 800 pixels. Save as a tif, and also as a jpg. Use the jpg version for attaching to your message. The resulting file should be no larger than 35 to 50 KB in size. For a computer monitor, this is all you need.
To set your monitor brightness and contrast, do the following. If you can, set your color temperature to about 6500 degrees K. If your monitor doesn't have color temperature adjustment, then don't worry about it.
Now with a picture on the screen, turn your brightness and contrast all the way down till you don't have any picture at all….totally black. Now turn your contrast up all the way to 100 percent. Now turn up your brightness till you like the look of the picture. You are now very close to optimum bright/contrast settings. Now go to the following site http://www.garageglamour.com/tips/calibrate.php and fine tune your brightness and contrast till you see all the shade differences in the black and white bar. Other than using an electronic monitor adjustor, this is about all you can do. I surely hope this has been valuable. If anyone has any questions or has trouble, just email me and well work it out.

This is great info. for 99% of you folks with P.Cs. but its of little use to those low-lifers like me with Web-Tv. I have found only 1 site that I can post pictures directly from my digital camera to the Forum {Like in e-mail} which automatically provides a URL for the picture to view in the jpeg form. So now when I wish to show a picture/s here or anywhere else I use the URL provided by the other Forum and paste it here.
I also have to give special thanks to Y.D. for providing my Avatar Pic. (Thanks Y.D.)
Then came Bronson
I appreciate the information very much, but you may as well tried to tell me how to fly to the moon. It did get me to thinking though. How did everyone in this world get so much smarter than me? When did everything pass me by? What was I doing when I got passed by? Was I in a coma for a few years and didn't know it? How am I able to drive a tractor and even work on it a little? Can I walk and chew gum at the same time? One day is something going to snap and I will know something? Why am I so ignorant and nobody else is?
Merlin; Don't feel like the Lone Ranger I to wonder what happened on my aptitude test in 1954 I scored in the upper 75 percent of seniors for that year, now I would be in the bottom 25% Oh well it is almost over anyway.

A computer is like a piano. You can not bring one home and wish you knew how to use it. No one can show you how to do much with it. It takes lots of practice and doing it wrong then when you do it right trying to remember how you did it. I use the internet to search for computer info. Just like you would tractor info. There are lots of computer message boards with folks who will give advice. I got my PC in 1997 and only knew you had to plug it in and set it on a table. I have 3 networked mine the wife's and one in the shop. all on dsl. And I ordered the parts over the internet and built them all. Pretty good for old 65 year old. So just keep trying it want blow up. Get you a program called Go Back. Then when you mess up and cannot go any further you just reboot and hit the space bar and choose to go back in time before you messed it up. Works great!!! Norton System works is another good program to repair software problems.
Young man for work, old man for advice
post a picture
just ditto to whatever Merlin said. tom
Merlin; Boy I thought I was the only one out here in that slow boat I am going to keep on experimenting until I figure it all out. The one thing that gets me tho is computers were to make things simpler and faster,then why can't this picture thing be a little simpler. Dumb question on this windows XP do I have all I need to do any of this CHUCK
I have XP and one of the things he said was, set the files to display thumbnails. Can't figure that one out. Then check the box preview active box. Check the preview active box? I think I'll just practice turning my computer on and off a few more times first. Learn one thing at a time.
I'm really sorry if I have made this thing more complicated than necessary. I was only trying to suggest some options regarding fixing up pictures a little bit.
When I said put a check in the box and set it to show thumbnails, I was talking about the choices in the 'file open' window of IRFANVIEW, not windows XP. For any question that you may have, if you will send me an email I'll do my best to assist you.

I know you would help if you could Yo's Dad, but you would have to be sitting at my computer with me and have plenty of free time and patience. I think in time I can take your very well written instructions and learn something about pictures. I have IrfanView downloaded now, so I am that far. Thats what I have been hoping someone would do, write instructions like yours. Thanks.
The first thing you need to post pictures is a server to put them on are a place to host them. What does this mean? They have to be sent off into cyber space and put on another computer called a server. Like the place Rudi puts all the Cub info. Some one gives that space I believe for nothing and it would be expensive to buy. Same as Dennis providing the cyber space for this Cub board. Your internet service provider should give you at least 5meg. of space. Mine gives 20meg. Up from 5meg. since most people don't claim there space. Then you need a software program called WS_FTP Pro which is what I use to send pictures from your computer to the server's web space. You need a buddy to set it up and show you how to do it. Then it is as easy as falling off a log. Surely there is some one you know who will do it. Ask around while they are all coming in during the holidays. Here is Yo Dads web space
Here is Yo Dads picture page are Home Page
G Willer's web space
G Willer again
Then you go to your space pick a picture and copy the http part in the Address box up at the top and paste it into your post. Again you need someone to show you. I don't think anyone could explain it so someone could do it. But have some one show you it fun. Now the Red Power web site provides web space to put your pictures on for posting on the Red Power message board. We just cannot afford to ask Dennis to do that. But it sure would be easier for us to post pictures. Ever notice how many pictures are posted on the Red Power site. That takes even more bandwidth and $$$$$$
Young man for work, old man for advice
Just checking to see if Picture Trail will let me post my picture from them on the board. I have the Picture Trail that cost $19.95 per year. I don't think the free one will let you. It super easy to use and you can use it for your EBay pictures to.
Young man for work, old man for advice
Jim, the free picturetrail allowed posting of photos. But I liked the features gained by purchasing space. I've even upgraded mine to the next level because I found myself storing tons of pictures.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
Glad you told me that. They automatically renewed mine last time and I did not want to renew since I have free web space now. Wonder how you cancel your account? I sent them a e-mail to cancel but got no response.

It's a seemingly impossible task to capture the essence and unique splendor of Vermont's ever-changing seasons and landscapes of simple beauty. Yet noted watercolor artist Walton Blodgett somehow managed to do so in his own inimitable style. The Inn is indeed fortunate to house the largest public display of his wonderful paintings which are hung throughout the main part of the hotel for you to view and enjoy at your leisure.
Blodgett, who studied under George Luks in New York, moved to Stowe from Connecticut in 1941. He clearly found the town a source of artistic inspiration as he painted the area's vistas and homes from his studio, located on Route 100 across from Shaw's supermarket, which offered a magnificent view of Mount Mansfield. Blodgett's paintings deftly depict the scenery and backdrop of rural Vermont life during the 1940s and 50s.
Many of Blodgett's works were collected by a former Inn owner who had a special relationship with the painter, enabling him to exhibit these lovely masterpieces in his hotel and the painter to feed his family. Other Blodgett paintings hang in residences and businesses around the world where they are prized for their wonderful feeling of Vermont. The Inn has a number of quality reporductions, of some of his best works, for sale.
