Magowan pledges support for reform
Bonds among former Giants named in Mitchell Report
SAN FRANCISCO -- Giants owner Peter Magowan said that the organization accepts its "fair share of responsibility" for baseball's performance-enhancing drug problem -- the basis of former Sen. George Mitchell's much-anticipated report that was released Thursday.The report details Magowan's testimony to Mitchell and his investigators, reflecting the club executive's suspicions about possible steroid use by former Giants star Barry Bonds. Magowan even directly asked Bonds in February 2004 whether he had used steroids. Twelve other players who performed at some point during their careers with the Giants were linked in Mitchell's report to performance-enhancing drug use: David Bell, Marvin Benard, Mark Carreon, Jason Christiansen, Bobby Estalella, Matt Herges, Glenallen Hill, Armando Rios, F.P. Santangelo, Benito Santiago, Mike Stanton and Matt Williams. Bonds, baseball's all-time home run leader, was indicted on Nov. 15 on charges of lying to a federal grand jury about his alleged drug use. That development stemmed from the widely publicized BALCO probe, which also implicated Benard, Estalella, Rios and Santiago. Bonds has denied knowingly using performance-enhancing substances, although evidence to the contrary was detailed in the book "Game of Shadows." Carreon and Christiansen bought performance-enhancing substances while playing for the Giants, according to the testimony of former New York Mets employee Kirk Radomski. The chronology of Herges' purchases was less specific, but could have spanned his stay with the Giants. The report said that Bell, Hill, Santangelo, Stanton and Williams made their purchases while playing for other clubs. No members of the 2007 Giants or the club's current roster were mentioned in the report. Magowan issued the following statement after the Mitchell report's release: "The Giants supported Commissioner [Bud] Selig's decision to appoint Senator George Mitchell to conduct an independent investigation into the use of performance enhancing drugs in our sport. We shared the Commissioner's view that an independent and thorough investigation was a necessary step in the overall effort to combat the serious problem of performance-enhancing drug use in baseball. Our organization has diligently and fully cooperated with Senator Mitchell throughout his inquiry. We believe that Senator Mitchell's thoughtful and comprehensive report will serve as a meaningful tool in the fight against the use of performance-enhancing drugs. The Report clearly demonstrates the pervasiveness of the problem. The Giants accept our fair share of responsibility. Our entire organization, from front office to field staff, pledges to work closely with Commissioner Selig and Senator Mitchell to implement the Report's recommendations and to institute whatever reforms are necessary to restore confidence in the integrity of the game." Part of the Mitchell report's sections that deal with Bonds repeat previously reported information about the slugger's ties with Greg Anderson, his personal trainer. Anderson has acknowledged supplying performance-enhancing substances to several players, but has never implicated Bonds.
Shortly after it was reported in September 2003 that Anderson's home was searched in conjunction with the BALCO investigation, Magowan, according to the Mitchell report, recalled asking Giants general manager Brian Sabean whether the team "had a problem."
Said the Mitchell transcript, "Magowan said that what he meant by his inquiry was to ask whether the Giants had a problem with Anderson dispensing steroids; he wanted to know whether Sabean had any reason to know of such a problem. According to Magowan, Sabean responded that he was not aware of any problem the Giants might have. However, Sabean strongly denied that such a conversation occurred."Magowan also told Mitchell that he was in San Diego in February 2004 when he received a telephone call from Bonds to discuss ways to improve the team that season. Toward the end of the chat, Magowan said he asked Bonds, "I've really got to know, did you take steroids?" Magowan related that Bonds told him he didn't know the substances he took were steroids -- but later learned they were. Bonds told Magowan that he took these substances to ease his arthritis and sleeping problems stemming from his father's declining health. The report said that Bonds pointed out to Magowan that he openly took these substances in the clubhouse -- to show he was hiding nothing -- and, moreover, used them for only a short time and that they "didn't work." The report added, "Magowan recalled asking Bonds whether this was what he had told the grand jury. Bonds replied yes. Magowan also asked Bonds if he was telling the truth, and Bonds said he was." The report said that two days after Magowan's interview, lawyers representing him and the Giants called one of Mitchell's investigators to issue a clarification. Said the report, "Magowan's lawyer explained that his client misspoke when he said that Bonds had said, during their February 2004 telephone call, that he later learned the substances he had taken were steroids. According to his lawyer, Magowan could only recall with certainty that (1) Bonds had said he did not knowingly take steroids, and (2) what Bonds said to Magowan during the call was consistent with what Magowan later read in the San Francisco Chronicle about Bonds' reported grand jury testimony." The report cited the Giants' concerns about Anderson rising long before the steroid controversy mushroomed. As early as Spring Training in 2000, former Giants trainer Stan Conte expressed misgivings about Bonds' two personal trainers, Anderson and Harvey Shields, being allowed to roam the clubhouse's restricted areas. The report said that Sabean told Conte to throw them out himself if he objected to their presence.
Anticipating trouble from Bonds, Conte said he'd do this if Sabean backed him up. The report said that Sabean didn't respond to Conte's request, so Anderson and Shields stayed. Sabean told investigators that he didn't remember this discussion with Conte. But Dave Groeschner, then an assistant trainer and now the Giants' head trainer, confirmed Conte's version of events.In August 2002, an unidentified Giant told Conte that he was considering obtaining steroids from Anderson. After warning the player about the dangers of steroid use, Conte informed Sabean of the incident without naming the player -- although he did tell Sabean that he suspected Anderson might be doling out steroids to various Giants. Sabean recommended to Conte that he confront Anderson and Bonds, but Conte declined, saying that it wasn't his responsibility to do so.
Sabean confirmed this sequence of events, adding that he asked Conte if he knew anybody who could "check out" Anderson. A Drug Enforcement Administration agent found no damning information about Anderson. Sabean later told Mitchell investigators that the government should have known whether Anderson was selling drugs illegally and said that he didn't want to risk "outing" Conte as a source of this information, which would have violated "clubhouse culture."According to the report, after the September 2003 raid on Anderson's home was made public, Sabean did not inform anybody in the Giants hierarchy or in the Commissioner's office about his discussions with Conte regarding Anderson. Radomski told investigators that he provided Carreon with Dianabol pills "toward the end of his tenure with the Giants." Carreon played for San Francisco from 1994 through the middle of the 1996 season. Radomski showed investigators a $1,600 check dated July 2, 2002, that Christiansen wrote him, testifying that it was payment for a kit of human growth hormone. Christiansen pitched for the Giants from mid-2001 through late in the 2005 season. The report said that Herges was introduced to steroids while playing in Triple-A with the Dodgers organization in 1999. Radomski told investigators that he sold human growth hormone to Herges two or three times. "His first contact with Herges might have been as early as 2004 and his last sale to him was in late 2005," said the report, which included a copy of a check for $3,240 Herges wrote Radomski dated Nov. 1, 2005. Herges played for the Giants from July 2003 through May 2005. The findings of former Mitchell's report concerning use of performance-enhancing drugs in Major League Baseball were released at 11 a.m. PT Thursday. Several high-profile, superstar-caliber players were among those named in the Mitchell Report, the product of a 21-month, multimillion dollar investigation that could shape decisions, prompt punitive actions against active players, and usher in the next era of the sport. Free agent Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte of the New York Yankees, Miguel Tejada of the Houston Astros, Eric Gagne of the Milwaukee Brewers and Paul Lo Duca of the Washington Nationals were among the most prominent former and current All-Stars to be mentioned in the lengthy report, which spans 311 pages, plus multiple exhibits, including evidence of signed checks, handwritten notes and shipping receipts. The entire report is available for viewing here at MLB.com. While the report detailed drug use in baseball by naming those accused, the report also contained 19 separate recommendations for the sport to move forward from this point, proceeding after a culture of steroids and performance enhancement grew exponentially in the late 1990s. Mitchell's report named both Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association in assigning blame, charging leadership -- from the Commissioner to club owners and general managers -- for allowing the issue to proliferate.

Ask any Wisconsinite what is on the menu on Friday night and the answer is most likely going to be some kind of fish. Growing up in a smaller-sized town in Wisconsin, I became accustomed to Friday night eateries and the battered delicacies which were served in small wicker baskets. Perch, cod, or whitefish, beer battered with a side order of American fries and cold slaw and homemade tartar sauce was the main draw on Friday nights. Taverns and Legion Halls alike served the traditional Friday night fish fry but why did the tradition exist and where is it today?
The answer to the question is really two fold.
Wisconsin has a strong representation of German Catholics who observe Lent. Lent is the tradition of abstaining from meat on Fridays during a forty day period preceding Easter. This practice turned into a social event during prohibition years. Taverns needed a way to attract people to their businesses and often gave free fish dinners or lunches on Friday.
During this time, fish was easily obtained and was very inexpensive for taverns. The Germans came to this country with fried food techniques and technology and this became the preferred, easy way to rapidly prepare a lot of fish, thus the social fish fry was born. They often had beer and liquor as an under the table service and as the years passed, so did prohibition. But the tradition of serving fish has lasted through the years. Today, taverns and eateries offer the fish fry on Wednesdays and Fridays regardless of religious orientation.
I spend countless hours on the water in the summer and this allows me to have fresh fish on a fairly consistent basis. For me, gone are the days of tromping out to the restaurants only to find long lines and hours of waiting. I enjoy my fish fries right at home. I have a set-up in my garage which is equipped with a stainless steel table and a Stainless Steel Profry by Presto. Its a great little unit that breaks down nicely and makes for easy clean up.
So what makes a good fish fry? Good oil. Fish is one of those foods that you can prepare many ways, but frying works best for serving a group. The oil you fry your fish in is one of the most important parts of the fish fry. There is nothing worse than a soggy piece of walleye or perch. My favorite oil for cooking is Shore Lunch Miracle Frying Oil. It is a blend of vegetable oil, peanut oil and sunflower oil and is all natural. I like the oil because it withstands multiple fish fries. Many cheaper oils seem to break down after one use and never give you that golden brown filet color. I might spend a little more money up front on the Shore lunch oil, but I get multiple fish fries out of one batch of oil.
The batter people use in all Wisconsin fish fries is the most fabulous part of this great tradition. Every person that fries fish brings their own twist to the make-up of the batter. Many people use closely guarded batter recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation.
I hold close the adage, less is more when I fry fish. My preference is a lightly battered filet in an egg wash. Again, my favorite product is Shore Lunch as they have an array of choices depending on what Im feeling. The sky is the limit when it comes to batters and the internet is a great source for recipes. I would be remiss if I didnt say a little something about our tartar sauce. There are many good choices on the store shelf, but my all-time favorite is homemade. I combine a little Miracle Whip salad dressing and sweet pickle relish and it is the finest dipping sauce made.
Midwestern life is all about friends and family and sharing a fish fry is a great way to pass the time on any night of the week. Add a beer from your favorite local brewery and some American fries and you too can take part in this long standing Wisconsin tradition!

Meat Loaf Adding New Fall Shows
Wednesday, September 12, 2012
Meat Loaf has just announced four new dates to his fall itinerary. The new stops include shows in Cedar Falls, Iowa; Cleveland, Ohio; London, Ontario; and New York City. Meat Loaf is touring behind his latest album, Hell In A Handbasket. The album, which is his followup to 2009's Hang Cool Teddy Bear set, features appearances by rapper Chuck D. on "Blue Sky/Mad Mad World/The Good God Is A Woman And She Don't Like Ugly," along with a reunion of his fellow Celebrity Apprentice cast mates -- Trace Adkins, Lil Jon, and Mark McGrath -- on "Stand In The Storm."
Although obviously not thrilled with fans being turned off by change, Meat Loaf told us he understands that there's a fundamental difference in the material on his late couple of albums as opposed to the Jim Steinman-written Bat Out Of Hell trilogy: "A lot of the Meat Loaf fans that have bought this record really like it. Some of the others go, 'Oh, it's not Jim Steinman -- we can't do it.' Jim Steinman's very ethereal. Jim Steinman's very dreamlike. This album is very organic, very Earth-bound. The Jim Steinman lyrics to me have always been somebody sitting in a room by himself wishing that was his life. (Laughs) It's like a padded cell kind of thing. Steinman's stuff, you can't reach out and touch it. You can only fantasize about it. This stuff is very organic, very Earthy. It, it's dirty."
UPDATED: Meat Loaf tour dates (subject to change):
October 19 - Prior Lake, MN - Mystic Lake Casino
October 21 - Cedar Falls, IA - McLeod Center
October 24 - Cleveland, OH - State Theatre
October 27 - Uncasville, CT - Mohegan Sun Arena
October 29 - London, ON - The John Labatt Centre
November 1 - New York, NY - Beacon Theatre

DETROIT - Is it really
so surprising that Mike Duggan got tripped up on a legal technicality and got tossed
from the mayoral ballot?
The city charter language was clear. A candidate must live
in the city for a year before filing his candidacy papers. Duggan himself
acknowledged he read the law saying it perplexed him. Nevertheless, Mack Truck
Mike wanted to be the first out of the gate and filed two weeks early. Now he's
been shown the door.
Duggan's got a long resume and a lot of executive qualities
but it's also worth remembering that places where
Duggan has worked, from the Wayne County executive suite to the Detroit Medical Center, have
been paid a visit by the feds. Duggan likes to say he's never been indicted,
but that's not much of a political plank.
Duggan and his crew got tripped up on something this small,
you've got to ask yourself how effective a mayor he would have been anyway
considering the morass the city finds is in.
I guess we'll never know.
So Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon is the odds-on favorite to inherit the chair. But Napoleon
finds himself fighting allegations of
cronyism, ineptitude and his part in the bloated white whale that is the new
county jail.
Rounding out the field is a host of politicos who've spent
varying amounts of time in Lansing, City Hall or tax prison. Not one of them
has presented much of a vision for Detroit's
future except to say that Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr has to go.
But Orr is the guy who is doing all the dirty work, cleaning
up the mess the fetid political class has created over the decades. Like it or
not, Chapter 9 bankruptcy is coming -- take
that to the bank -- and a host of special interests --the
unsecured creditors, the unions, the retirees --
are going to suffer. Orr is going to take from the cops in order to give to the
cops. He's ordered a probe into corruption and mismanagement in the pension
funds. This should have happened long ago, but no one had the backbone.
Who in the political field has tried to groom a relationship
with Orr? Who has asked to study at his table? No one. We have leadership that
protests and marches in circles. They collect paychecks for work that is
irrelevant or doesn't get done. Does anybody know where City Council President
Charles Pugh disappeared to for the last week without telling anyone?
Point is, we have little young political talent who can take
over once Orr is done and lead us into a future we all deserve. We have too
many ministers and not enough MBA's. We raise our children and educate them and
off they go to DC and NY and LA and Chicago.
And that's too bad.
There is light at the end of this tunnel but we've got the blind leading the

— Take one giant step forward Florida State, move over to the sidelines Oregon. That's how things stand following Thursday night's shocking shakeup in the race for an invitation to the BCS National Championship game on Jan. 6.
Oregon stumbled once again in a big Pacific 12 game, leaving Stanford with a humbling 26-20 loss that has done near-fatal damage to its championship dreams.
Florida State, which was at home resting in anticipation of Saturday's game against a mediocre Wake Forest team, unexpectedly moved into a strong position to play for it all in Pasadena. After Saturday's game against the Demon Deacons, Florida State has scrimmages with Syracuse and Idaho before closing the regular season against Florida. The ACC championship game could produce a rematch with Miami.
There's plenty of football yet to be played this season, during which things have had a way of going wrong for the front-runners. Nevertheless, more than one good team is going to be left home to soothe its hurt feelings and be relegated to a lesser bowl, where fun and good times will be served up but not an opportunity for a national championship.
This year marks the end of the BCS. No more of these silly somebody-gets-ripped-off predicaments. Thank goodness.
The notion of picking only two teams to play for a championship and declaring the winner the best in the land is absurd. It's fraudulent at best, criminal at worst. Honestly, selecting four isn't much better.
About four weeks remain in the regular season. If it wins its remaining games – and there's no guarantee that will happen, Alabama gets the first invitation. The top-ranked Crimson Tide is the defending national champion and until someone beats Alabama it stays atop the hill.
That could be easier said than done. Louisiana State travels to Tuscaloosa this weekend, and Coach Les Miles' team has little to lose. A wounded Tiger is a dangerous beast. Trips to Mississippi State and revenge-seeking Auburn await Nick Saban and Co. Pass those tests and Alabama gets a trip to the SEC championship, which could be another risky assignment.
Alabama certainly has it better than the other participants in this year's beauty pageant. Jumping into the serious discussions are Baylor, which improved its standing after Thursday night's thumping of Oklahoma, and a "We- get-no-respect" Ohio State team.
Despite being unbeaten (8-0) and ranked fifth in the country, Baylor wasn't being included in championship talk. That now changes – at least for a while. Coach Art Briles' offensive juggernaut has scored 488 points in eight games, but the Bears do face a season-ending grind. Still on the schedule are Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, TCU and Texas. The Big 12 doesn't have a championship game.
Now don't forget about Ohio State. The Big Ten isn't shooting on all cylinders these days, but it's hard to find much fault with how the Buckeyes have fared since Urban Meyer came to town. Arriving in 2012, Meyer and Ohio State have marched to 21 consecutive victories. The question from Columbus is clear: How do you leave a team out of the national championship that has gone undefeated over two seasons?
Ohio State has easily winnable games against Indiana, Illinois and Michigan on its schedule. The Big 10 championship, perhaps against Michigan State, could be interesting, though. At this point there's no reason to bet against the Bucks. All of that said, Ohio State is going to need a couple of breaks if it hopes to be playing for the crystal ball.
Other top-notch teams remain on the outside just waiting for a late-season misstep by someone so they can make a last-minute claim.
Besides the four major unbeatens (sorry Northern Illinois and Fresno State), there are still a dozen one-loss teams waiting in the wings – Auburn, Clemson, Central Florida, Louisville, Houston, Ball State, Miami, Michigan State, Missouri, Oklahoma State, Stanford and, oh yes, Oregon.
Next season four teams will vie for the title in a slightly expanded playoff, which is an improvement. Yet that won't eliminate all the fuss and frustration. It will still remain an exclusive event where one misstep brings an end to big dreams and plans.
Gaining a spot in the championship game is the ultimate test of survival.

Post subject: References?
As a newbie, what reference material would be most valuable to me? I am trying to learn about PCs, Linux, and to get started in coding.
What language would you recommend to learn first? I have seen several recommendations - Python and Java particularly.
Thanks for your time.

There is always the Linux Documentation Project and RUTE both have been on past LXF discs if you don't have the old disc just Google them
that will give you most of the Linux and PC info you will need.As for the choice between Python and Java try Python first as it is usually installed by default on most current distros and is a touch easier to Grok than Java.
Enjoy the Choice

A lot does depend on what you intend to do but I have found that careful reading of LXF is one of the best ways to learn; Python has the advantage that there are local groups of Python users whose expertise you could tap.

Thanks for the advice. I will indeed Google the Linux Documentation Project and RUTE (which I have to admit is something I have never heard of before).
So far I am finding Linux much easier to use than Windows was. For example, Thunderbird was easier to set up than Windows Mail. Previously, all I ever really used my home PC for was internet and email. I am quickly finding new ways to play at home.

If you are unsure, python is a good general-purpose choice.

Hi All,
You'll need some help organising and documenting your work, too. On the organisational front, I'd recommend "
Pragmatic Version Control Using Git
" by Travis Swicegood, published by The Pragmatic Bookshelf (Rayleigh, NC USA & Dallas, TX USA). It was reviewed in LXF 118.
If you are unfamiliar with the concept, a Version Control System (of which Git is an example) allows the programmer to save many snapshots of the work at key stages along with a note about what was changed/added since the last snapshot and why. There is a little more to it than that, but organising your work and tracking changes is essential in all but the most elementary of projects. The notes you make with each commitment of code will help with producing a change log and writing documentation for the project.
Working through the first five chapters (they're quite short, actually) will get you going, the examples are easy and mainly concern creating and editing simple html files, so you don't have to learn code at the same time as learning git. It may at first seem like an emcumberance at first to faff about with recording and annotating changes but stick with it and you'll find it becomes second nature, it won't slow you down and you'll thank yourself for it later. Once you are comfortable using git, do carry on with the book as Git is very powerful and you'll get more out of it. Finally, good luck!

Well, I stared coding before any magic tools existed. I instinctively take copies with the date or version number in the filename. A day's hard coding leaves me with perhaps half-a-dozen old versions, all neatly ordered by their filenames and manually backed up onto another media. That's all the version control I have ever needed.
It's a good habit to get into, and getting careless is the only way to burn it in!
Of course I don't turn out the masses of code that the professionals do, but then nor does any beginner either. Learning a VCS can come later, when you need it.

I have a number of books on Linux on my bookshelf, of which the "Unix and Linux Administration Handbook" (4th edition) is probably the most useful to you. It explains how to set up a Linux system in better detail (not just "click here then put in that and click again" but explaining what's what, why it's so and what options it has), dives into a more advanced sys-admin mode with backgrounds of networking, etc., and touches on programming (more: shell scripting). Published by Prentice Hall, with a foreword of Tim O'Reilly, chairman of the competing (!!) O'Reilly empire: he basically said that he doesn't pay much attention to their competitors, but this book he considers a measuring stick for his company...
Coding is a whole different ballgame. The best way is to do it yourself and see what changes affect the outcome of the program you wrote. LXF had a special on coding, but the best source for learning to code, is studying some-one else's code. Try to understand why the coder has done things in a certain way, then try to alter that behaviour to see if you grasped the concept, and at the same time, finding a more efficient way of getting the results, if there is one. Which in term you could submit to the coder for inclusion, should (s)he wish so. And presto, before you know it, you've submitted your first patch on your way to geekhood
However, don't get too much ahead of yourself, start with simple stuff.... You wouldn't be the first to be put off by sinking teeth in more then could be chewed...

As DM say the learning curve can look like a cliff at times but there are lots of online references that you can hammer into that cliff face for hand and foot holds,and don't be afraid to ask questions here or any other forum that welcomes you most of us in the Open Source movement are always looking for new hackers for the project that we are involved in

I was about to disagree with you there (respectively of course) but from a recent, personal example, where I used Git to record and document the changes between v1.0 and v2.0, I did indeed just get on with coding and learning how the project works in order to get to v1.0. So yes, I'd agree with your statement. However, I would recommend bringing in a VCS soon after, as they will do a lot of heavy lifting and will help others act as mentors and help with collaboration if/when the time comes.

He's collaborating with IIT Delhi on the prototype, which is being tested at the LV Prasad Eye Institute.
There are currently apps like Siri and SayText that can help people with visual problems tell what's on screens on use their phones.
The Braille smartphone would be different, allowing people to feel what's on the screen.
The screen is actually comprised of pins.
Those pins can move up and down to spell out emails and SMS messages using Braille characters.
It uses what's called Shape Memory Alloy technology, so as each pin expands, it remembers and contracts back to its original flat shape.
In an interview with the Times of India, Dagar describes the phone as "[the] world's first Braille smartphone ... a companion more than a phone."
Dagar came up with the idea for the phone three years ago.
The team working on the phone hopes it will be ready for sale by the end of 2013.
It's expected to cost about $185.

Live the Lush life! Our full suspension 29er mountain bike fits women of all sizes, and boasts a sleek frame, loads of Trek trail tech, and a comfortable, fun, stable ride.
Lush fits you and the terrain perfectly so you can hit the trails with confidence, test your skills and come back grinning. Because we think grownups deserve recess too.
Best-fitting women's MTB
Exclusive Women's Specific Design (WSD) features best-in-class standover for confidence, plus saddle, grips, and other contact points sized for you.
29er confidence
29" wheels give you ultimate control, stability, and confidence on the trail, plus the efficiency to tackle trail and XC riding.
DRCV all-terrain control
Our two-chamber DRCV (Dual Rate Control Valve) shock gives you coil performance at air shock weight, for smooth, seamless, all-terrain control.
Smooth, controlled braking
Our patented ABP (Active Braking Pivot) keeps your suspension from stiffening up when you're on the brakes, giving you confident, steady control.
What people are saying
The Lush has super-smooth handling, easy braking (important for smaller hands) and a very natural feel made for confident riding.
Mary Oswald
Demo rider, 9/6/11
Weight distribution feels perfectly centered both uphill and (especially) downhill, where you can let the bike fly with no fear of the front wheel washing out or dropping into holes. The Lush's geometry is one of few that give women the same aggressive trail position that the boys enjoy. It's designed to go fast and fit right…Special to the Lush is a smaller rear shock and higher leverage ratio than on the men's bikes. This allows lighter riders to use more air pressure for optimal performance.

Re: Best Wishes
We have a pretty big parade here, it was yesterday. Lots and lots of Irish here. Many came over to build Fort Adams in the 1840's, sometimes hundreds at a time. I marched with the folks from the fort and had a grand day. The Shriner's with their little cars were right behind us and it's great to see the little people smile when they see the cars.
Somehow I managed to be in the picture for the parade's home page.... the only one without a kilt.

An insect's compound eye is an engineering marvel: high resolution, wide field of view, and incredible sensitivity to motion, all in a compact package. Now, a new digital camera provides the best-ever imitation of a bug's vision, using new optical materials and techniques. This technology could someday give patrolling surveillance drones the same exquisite vision as a dragonfly on the hunt.
Human eyes and conventional cameras work about the same way. Light enters a single curved lens and resolves into an image on a retina or photosensitive chip. But a bug's eyes are covered with many individual lenses, each connected to light-detecting cells and an optic nerve. These units, called ommatidia, are essentially self-contained minieyes. Ants have a few hundred. Praying mantises have tens of thousands. The semicircular eyes sometimes take up most of an insect's head.
While biologists continue to study compound eyes, materials scientists such as John Rogers try to mimic elements of their design. Many previous attempts to make compound eyes focused light from multiple lenses onto a flat chip, such as the charge-coupled device chips in digital cameras. While flat silicon chips have worked well for digital photography, in biology, "you never see that design," Rogers says. He thinks that a curved system of detectors better imitates biological eyes. In 2008, his lab created a camera designed like a mammal eye, with a concave electronic "retina" at the back. The curved surface enabled a wider field of view without the distortion typical of a wide-angle camera lens. Rogers then turned his attention to the compound eye.
Over the last 3 years, Rogers and students in his lab at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, have developed an array of 180 ommatidia (about the same number as in the eye of a fire ant), each of which contains a lens, tiny silicon photodetectors, and circuitry to read the image. But nanoscale manufacturing on a flexible, curved surface is tricky, says electrical engineer R. Fabian Pease of Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, who was not involved in the research. "It's not even easy on a nice, flat, rigid silicon wafer."

2003 Ford F250 6.0 engine
I've been advised not to buy a Ford truck with the 6.0 engine. I'm told they were very problematic. Anyone here know what the problems were? Thanks
Oh and spare me the Ford vs Dodge vs Chevy preferences. :-)
Re: 2003 Ford F250 6.0 engine
Thomas, my understanding is they had many problems. Before I bought my new truck I looked at a 2004 one owner with 37,000 miles on it. I know the salesman very well and he told me all about the previous owner and how he took care of it. Then he said the only problem with it was that it was a 6.0. Coming from a salesman I saw the red flag right there. I asked my mechanic about them and he said to avoid it. Here is a little info on them. http://performancewise.net/ford/ford-6-0l-power-stroke-problems/

Re: 2003 Ford F250 6.0 engine
I worked as a diesel tech for ford for 20 years, the 7.3 was a great motor, the 6.0 was a waste of cast iron, it was only made for a few years and replaced by the 6.4 which was even worse, so stay away from those two or you pocketbook will be sorry
Re: 2003 Ford F250 6.0 engine
Seems to me it had something to do with some EGR valve cooler and would have to pull the heads or something.

Re: 2003 Ford F250 6.0 engine
I read somewhere that there are two kinds of 6.0 owners, those who have had problems and those who will. This comment came from a Ford diesel tech. I would avoid it at all costs.
Re: 2003 Ford F250 6.0 engine
Thanks for the replies. This truck had already had alot of work done to it. I know the guy well who owns it. He gave me the whole history of the truck. But with the opinions expressed here and my own research I'm going to pass on it. The owner feels like the problems are solved but he told me he'd rather not see me get the truck in light of the 6.0 rep
Re: 2003 Ford F250 6.0 engine
That is a friend
Re: 2003 Ford F250 6.0 engine
I heard something to the effect that they rushed it into production to meet some federal standards.
I went from a gas 351 to a 7.3L (IH 444) that had 211K on it when I bought it. Has 255K now. It's loud, but gets decent MPG (avg about 17 HWY). I run straight biodiesel in the summer, no road tax if it's made in RI. Exhaust has a hint of fried clams and donuts It's been the best vehicle I have ever owned. Ketchum clued me in when I was shopping..... Glad I listened.
The price of diesel is pretty crazy now, more than $4.30 a gallon in Maine. The new ones have loads of complicated stuff on them.

Re: 2003 Ford F250 6.0 engine
Thomas, You made the right decision on that truck. These engines have had all the problems listed above and more.
I had a customer call me about a year and a half ago for my opinion on a F350 with the 6.0, I told him not to touch it. He stated that the PO have the egr cooler upgraded already and it was running strong, told him not to buy it.
He bought it anyway because of the price , 8 months later it died on him 300 miles from home, blew the head gaskets. I think he told me it took over 4500.00 to get it repaired. He brought it home and put a For Sale sign on it.

Re: 2003 Ford F250 6.0 engine
There may be an active class action lawsuit about those engines now. Best to pass on that one.

Re: 2003 Ford F250 6.0 engine
we have several where i work and nothing but major problems.every one has had at least 2 sets of injectors at $800 a cylinder i was told and not sure what the problem was but the one i drive filled the radiator full of crankcase oil.then i found out every one of them had this problem.our mechanics said it is the worst engine ever.hope this helps.
Re: 2003 Ford F250 6.0 engine
There are a lot of them for sale round here. Every ad says "All the NORMAL problems have been fixed".
There should be nothing NORMAL about having to fix one, then in the ad make like you are getting a great deal, cause all the problems have been fixed.
Re: 2003 Ford F250 6.0 engine
6.0's have head gaskets,oil coolers failures, EGR coolers have leaks in the high pressure oil system and eat injectors from late 04-07. 6.4's, eat front engine covers, radiators, pistons, injectors, high pressure fuel pumps and Turbochargers…. And that's their good points…. The Ford vs International lawsuit should have included the 6.4.
What mystifies me is why an auto manufacture that had the truck market locked up would let something like a bad engine go for so long and dissatisfy so many customers.
The new Ford made 6.7 came along only because of Fords decision to part ways with International. Ford sued International because they felt International didn't pay their fair share of warranty claims on the 6.0/6.4.
My brother has a 2013 6.7L F350 crew cab long bed dual rear wheel Lariat and it will walk away from my 2012 Duramax HD 3500 fully loaded. I'm thoroughly impressed with its power and quietness.(no preferences just telling facts) Ford buys the 6.7 Liter block from Tupy SA, of Brazil which was development and tested for four years. The 6.7 is built in Chihuahua, Mexico.

I have worked for large companies fro many years, and have learned that the engineers that decide what components are put together in any assembly and the high level management that approves those decisions are incapable of making errors, and if there was no error, there is no need to correct it. at least until there are some personnel changes and the new people decide to correct it.

Associated Press
Publication: theday.com
NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) — Connecticut state police met this week with the families of the Newtown school shooting victims to update them on the investigation, but details of the briefing aren't being released.
State police spokesman Lt. J. Paul Vance told the News-Times of Danbury that Tuesday night's meeting at Edmond Town Hall was the first of many that will be held to answer the families' questions.
Troopers say Adam Lanza killed 20 students, six educators and himself at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14, after fatally shooting his mother at their Newtown home.
Some parents want to know more about Lanza's mental state, but Vance says state law prohibits police from releasing that information.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy has said the police report on the shootings may be ready by mid-March.

I bought this to keep the bugs at bay for a kayak trip in the Florida Everglades where the bugs would be bad.I wouldn't have bought it if I knew it let the no see ums in.

Pujols blasted 26 homers, tying Sammy Sosa's record from 2000. He mashed 14 in his semifinal round duel with Jason Giambi, tying a mark set by Giambi in the first round in 2001. And he crushed the longest single homer of the night, a 478-foot monster of a blast to left field in that second round.
Still, he fell, 9-8, in the final round to Anaheim's Anderson. And he didn't mind one bit.
"I couldn't be more happy," said an exhausted Pujols. "It would be nice if I had won it, but I'm happy for Anderson."
Pujols hit four homers in the first round, but advanced thanks to a tiebreaker based on regular-season homers so far this year. He blitzed his way to 14 in the second round, and put up a respectable total of eight in the final. Cardinals teammate Jim Edmonds also tallied four in the first round, but didn't heat up in the second round. He lost, 6-4, to his friend and former teammate Anderson.
"We're real tight," Edmonds said of Anderson. "That was really cool. We're as tight as you can get, I think. It was tough. I'm sitting in the middle. I didn't know who to root for, my teammate or one of my best friends. It was awesome. It's just fun to watch."
Pujols, however, was the story. In another installment of a week that seems to be announcing his arrival as a true superstar, he electrified the crowd in the second round. When he tied Sosa's record, he stepped out and tipped his cap to the crowd of 47,619.
As amazing as anything was the way he did it. Rather than pull and pull and pull some more, he throttled balls to all fields. His four first-inning homers went to left, but after that, 11 of his next 22 went to center, right-center or right field.
"The first round I tried to pull the ball because it was tough to hit the ball out to center field," he said. "But by the second round, when I hit one ball out of the park over the right-field wall, I was like, I'm gonna go that way. Because that's where my power is.
"If I can extend those arms, I've got a better chance to get the ball. And I was staying on the ball real good. It was great, man. It was awesome. I'm just looking forward to having another experience like that and another opportunity."
Pujols went first in the semifinal round, leaving Giambi in a deep hole. The Yankees slugger and defending Home Run Derby champion knew he needed to top 14 to advance. Yet he almost did it.
"Albert had an incredible second round," Giambi said. "That's the hard part of the second round. You can run into someone who's red-hot. He put on an incredible display, especially for his first home run contest."
Unfortunately for Pujols, Anderson put on a fine display of his own in the final. Going first, the consistent Angels outfielder sprayed nine homers.
Pujols did have a chance. He went deep to left on his first two swings, then made three consecutive outs. At his sixth out, he was stuck on four homers and it wasn't looking good -- then he smoked three straight, one each to left, right and center. Another out followed by another homer gave him three chances to tie Anderson, but the closest he came was on a line drive to the wall on his last swing.
"It's tough, man," Pujols said. "After Garret put up nine, I was like, 'Man, I don't think I can get that much out there after that performance I had in the second round.' I think I got seven home runs with six out, then I hit no. 8 and I was like, 'OK, maybe I can hit two more here.'"
Even without the win, though, he was delighted. And Edmonds, among others, was impressed.
"It's pretty extraordinary, considering this is one of the toughest places to hit in the league," Edmonds said. "This isn't probably the best place for a Home Run Derby, but you've got to make do with what you've got, and he put on a show. It was pretty fun to watch."

San Francisco is the cultural and financial center of the Bay Area, and has the second highest population density of any major city in North America after New York City. It is also a major tourist destination, and transport and accommodation is plentiful, ranging from luxury hotels to cheap accommodation.
San Jose is the largest city in terms of population, land area, and industrial development, and is the center of Silicon Valley, a well-known high technology region. Oakland is a major manufacturing and distribution center, rail terminus/hub, and has the fourth largest container shipping port in the United States.

Cain, San Francisco's first-round pick in the 2002 draft, had control problems while facing three batters in the seventh inning as part of the USA team, which edged the World team, 4-3. Only 19, the former Tennessee High School Player of the Year two seasons ago, walked two, gave up a double and allowed three earned runs in a 17-pitch effort.
Valdez, 22, fared better, retiring two batters on infield outs on eight pitches in the bottom of the sixth before being taken out.
Cain admitted it was "amazing" to be part of this nationally televised Futures spectacle, a prelude to the 75th All-Star Game here on Tuesday night and one of the more popular events each season.
"I was a little off," said the 6-foot-3 hurler, currently playing for Double-A Norwich (Eastern League). "I got ahead of a couple guys, then let it slip rather than put them away. It was all right. It wasn't bad, but I did get a little frustrated.
"It was amazing -- the most fascinating thing I've ever done," said the youngster, who sadly said it's now back to work for the Norwich Navigators, where he's 2-1, with a 2.08 ERA over five games. "It's nice out here. It's great to be around these guys and watch them work. For one day, it's awesome to be out here."
Cain said he had fun during his stint, even if he was off his game. As a starter in the minors, he's used to slowly getting into his rhythm, so Sunday's few batters was a bit strange.
"I felt like did have my good stuff, but I just couldn't put them away."
As for improving this season with the Navigators, Cain thinks he's right on target.
"I've gotten a lot better with my mechanics this season," he said. "I need to fill out my body a lot more, but I'm pleased with what's going on. Every pitch and every game you learn something from yourself or the hitters."
Valdez has struck out 44 batters over 35 2/3 innings this year at Class A San Jose, logging a 3-1 record with a 2.52 ERA.
"It was all right, everything was good," said the right-hander. "I don't know why they took me out [after two batters], but I had a good time being here. My game is getting better.
"There were a lot of people here, but it was like the same," said Valdez, who had an Achilles tendon problem in the spring, but is healthy now. "I'm 100 percent," said the hurler.
