The University of Southern Indiana has launched a new app that offers a real time transit information system.
The app is called DoubleMap.
It gives students, faculty, and staff instant real time GPS location of buses serving the campus community, including the METS West Connection and the USI Campus Shuttles.
"This new service is will help keep our students and the rest of the campus community informed when it comes to transportation options," said Steve Woodall, director of Public Safety at USI. "It's going to be a helpful service for everyone."
The free DoubleMap app can be downloaded on most mobile devices and also is available online for PCs, laptops, and tablet devices.
The interface shows both the user's location as well as the location of buses as they progress along selected routes.
For USI, Campus Shuttle routes show in blue, while METS West Connection routes show in red. Riders can click on specific stops to get estimated time of arrival information.
So far, the system has been installed on the two METS West Connection buses and on four USI Campus Shuttles.
A dashboard feature allows USI's Office of Public Safety to monitor buses and to add special announcements such as weather related delays or cancellations, changed routes, and other information that might affect riders.

The Washington colonists are back in Haiti, re-enslaving. Bloodhounds have been set loose by the Washington puppet Haiti government on free Haitians at Île à Vache (Ile a Vache/Ilavach), who are fighting back. It's 2014, not 1704, but a bloody manhunt with hound dogs and weapons of war is let loose on the unarmed Île à Vache Haitians. These Haitians are descendants of enslaved Africans and freed U.S. Blacks.

Should the Commission grant this request for a hearing, we will provide the Commission with testimony from prisoners, as well as oral presentations by family members of prisoners, advocates and lawyers. We would ask that the Commission recommend to the United States government and the state of California that they immediately take all measures necessary to address grave violations of human rights in the prison system.

On a recent morning, after almost three hours of a rough road journey to the village of Dolores on the Southern Belize-Guatemala border, a group of Belize Territorial Volunteers began a strenuous hike to the borderline. Just before reaching the border, the group was met by Organization of American States representatives who informed them they had reached the borderline and warned them not to proceed further west.
March 28, 2013
On March 2, the Belize Territorial Volunteers (BTV), spearheaded by Wil Maheia of PG TV and the People's National Party (PNP) – a legendary Belizean social activist – met at Belize's border with Guatemala to carry out a cleanup campaign to clear vegetation on Belize's side of the border. The group, consisting of 150 volunteers, began the work at Container Hill from sunrise to late afternoon.
October 6, 2012
Update Sept. 30, 2012: For the past two weeks, massive demonstrations have rocked Haiti, protesting constitutional changes and the corruption of the Martelly government. The democratic and participatory spirit of the 1987 Constitution has been subverted by the illegitimate President Michel Martelly, who announced new amendments, which concentrate executive power and herald the return of death squad Duvalierism to Haiti.
June 6, 2011
On April 4, the Haitian government announced that Michel Martelly won the recent fraudulent "elections" imposed on Haiti by the United States, France and Canada, the so-called "international community," and sanctioned by the United Nations. Haiti now finds itself at a crossroads.
December 14, 2010
The U.N. has threatened to pull out of Haiti. Oh, what a blessed seasonal gift that would be. Bon voyage, U.N.! Goodbye. We'll help you pack. The Haitian people on the streets demonstrating are asking for YOU, for the U.N. to go. Take Clinton, the Interim Haiti Reconstruction Commission (IHRC) and the NGOs with you, please.

Burt's Bees - Natural Toothpaste Kids Anticavity Fluoride Orange Wow - 4 oz. (110 g)
Burt's Bees Natural Kids Anticavity Orange Wow Toothpaste with Fluoride is a natural, effective toothpaste clinically proven to improve oral health. With real cranberry extract known to block bacteria from adhering to teeth and gums, helping prevent plaque formation before it starts. Plus fun natural flavors and colors kids will love.
How Natural Kids Anticavity Toothpaste Works
This natural and effective anti-cavity toothpaste is clinically proven to improve oral health plus comes in a fun orange flavor and color that kids will love. It contains real cranberry extract, which emerging science suggests may help to inhibit certain plaque-causing bacteria from adhering to teeth. The SLS-free formula contains calcium and phosphorous to promote strong, healthy teeth. No artificial colors, flavors, preservatives or sweeteners.
Cranberry: The Natural Path to Oral Health
For centuries, the cranberry has been recognized for its inherent health benefits. More recently, it has been discovered that cranberries contain powerful nutrients called Proanthocyanidins, also known as PACs. Studies have shown that PACs inhibit bacteria from sticking to the tooth's surface, thereby helping prevent the development of dental plaque.
Cranberries are smart – they create PAC's to protect themselves from bacteria and other environmental stressors, and they do a good job at it. Burt's Bees think nature is full of genius. After all, people have sought solutions from nature throughout the ages. At Burt's Bees, innovation is about borrowing nature's best inventions to maximize well-being through personal care products that really work with your body.
You won't find sulfates, glycols, artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives in Burt's Bees™ Natural Toothpastes. Burt's Bees natural toothpastes combine ingredients from nature that deliver results for a clinically proven natural oral health solution. The entire line is certified by the Natural Products Association — so you can feel good about brushing with it.
With regular brushing:
Burt's Bees Frequently Asked Questions
Are your products hypoallergenic?
There is no defined methodology to test for allergic reactions in beauty or personal care products, nor does the FDA regulate use of the term "hypoallergenic." Consequently, Burt's Bees does not position their products as hypoallergenic. A list of ingredients for each product is available on individual product information pages on this site.
Are your products safe for pregnant women to use?
Burt's Bees recommends that any expectant mother check with her physician before changing her skin care routine with their products, or any other line of products.
How long will my Burt's Bees products stay fresh and what is the best way to store them?
Burt's Bees products are made with natural ingredients. They purposely present our products in smaller portions so you finish them while their ingredients are still fresh and providing their maximum effectiveness. As such, we recommend you store creams and oils in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat. Creams may be stored in their cartons for extra protection.
Where are Burt's Bees products made?
Over 95% of Burt's Bees products are made right in their own manufacturing plant in Durham, NC. The rest are made by other respectable American manufacturers.
Do you test on animals and do your products contain animal-derived ingredients?
Burt's Bees does NOT conduct product or ingredient tests of any kind on animals. A few of their products contain ingredients derived from animals such as beeswax, royal jelly, milk and carmine.
I am allergic to bees. Can I still use your products?
Burt's Bees does not use actual bee venom in their products – only bee by products such as honey, beeswax, royal jelly and honey powder. However, if you are allergic to bee by-products, then Burt's Bees does not suggest using their products. They recommend that you contact your health care provider when changing your skin care regimen to find out which products are best for you.
What Burt's Bees is All About
Your well-being is affected every single day by the personal care products you use. Burt's Bees' goal is to create and educate people on truly natural products that have a positive effect on both you and the world you live in for the good of your well-being, for the good of the environment and for The Greater Good. Simply put, they strive to make people's lives better every day — naturally.
The Story Behind Burt's Bees Brand
Burt's Bees has come a long way from selling home-made beeswax lip balms and hand salves at local craft fairs, but their belief in creating truly natural products that are good for you and the environment hasn't changed.

During the past week or so, two high school pitching prospects in Louisiana combined to throw 347 pitches in an extra-inning game and Detroit's Justin Verlander threw 131 in a complete game, which today is more rare than a Buffalo nickel. (Yeah, I know, it was against Kansas City.)
And outrage and incredulity was expressed over these feats.
Baseball sure was a lot different during President Kennedy and Bobby Darin's day. (Gas was cheaper, too.)
On July 2, 1963, San Francisco's Juan Marichal squared off against Milwaukee's Warren Spahn in the mother of all pitching duels. When it ended in the 16th inning, they still were throwing strikes. And this was when players did jumping jacks with a beer in one hand and a cigar in the other.
And Spahn was 42.
In those days, ballgames that didn't go extra innings were finished in around two hours, 1:50 if Bob Gibson or Sandy Koufax were pitching.
So, do the events of the past week or so suggest a return to an era when a quality start meant you pitched all nine innings? And won?
Probably not.
It's not that baseball isn't willing to change, because if that were the case, the ballparks still would look like giant cereal bowls and the Houston Astros still would be wearing those jerseys that caused Roger Metzger, Enos Cabell, Denny Walling, Rafael Landestoy and Joaquin Andujar to go blind.
It's that baseball doesn't change quickly. And it probably won't be reconsidering this 100-pitch ceiling on starting pitchers, because ballclubs invest lots of money in starting pitchers, and should one tweak his elbow on pitch 111, there would be hell and a big guaranteed contract to pay, considering two guys were warming up in the bullpen.
Jerry Reuss, the longtime Las Vegan who won 220 games in the big leagues and pitched until he was 41, said 100 pitches in his day - 1969 to 1990 - was just getting warmed up.
In his first start after getting out of the U.S. Army, Reuss pitched 11 innings in a Triple-A game for Tulsa and got a no-decision. With Pittsburgh in 1974, he went 13 innings against the Cardinals.
"I pitched in games that would have gotten the farm director, the manager and the pitching coach fired," Reuss said, adding that only rudimentary pitch counts were kept and they had little impact on whether a guy stayed in the game.
I am not a doctor, have not played one on TV and, on a sports writer's salary, prefer Motel 6 to Holiday Inn Express. But if pitchers began to go seven and eight innings again, their arms probably would get stronger over time. And before long, like Marichal and Spahn, they could pitch until the cows or the man on first came home in extra innings.
But more quality starts mean fewer trips to the mound, and fewer pitching changes mean shorter games, and shorter games mean fewer $8 beers being sold in the bleachers and fewer Budweiser ads on TV. So change will come slowly, if at all.
(Eight other games were played in the majors on July 2, 1963, four of which were played in 2:00, 1:48, 2:07 and 2:19. The next day, a game in Los Angeles took 1:53. The starting pitchers were Gibson and Koufax.)
My other theories regarding today's pitchers is that they are pansies, or that Verlander's real name is Tony Stark and that he's Ironman.
"When you get young kids, they are still developing. You want to protect their arms," said 51s pitching coach Bob Stanley, who during 13 seasons as a relief ace in Boston pretty much pitched when and as long as Don Zimmer and Ralph Houk and John McNamara and Joe Morgan needed him to pitch. "When you get to this level, it's a little bit different. They're veterans who have done it before."
And yet only twice during April has a Las Vegas starter tossed as many as 90 pitches toward home plate. Tim Redding threw 93 - in 3 2/3 innings - against Sacramento on April 8, and Jesse Chavez threw 90 against Colorado Springs on Sunday.
"The theory is you want to save kids' arms because they've probably been abused in college and in high school," Stanley said. "I know one time I had a guy who threw 180 pitches in one game."
Might have been Spahnie's kid.
The game, and pitching philosophy, has changed dramatically. Today, unless a guy is working on a no-hitter or answers to Verlander, medical science all but assures he won't finish what he started.
They didn't have medical science in Stanley's day, because it only would have gotten in the way of the beer and the cigars in the clubhouse. But he said there was an even more effective method for determining when a pitcher had had enough.
"The hitters would let you know when you were done," Stanley said.

The Czech Republic is a cool little landlocked country south of Germany and Poland, with a national addiction to pork and beer. Potatos, cabbage, and dumplings are close behind them, and they also have this great bar food called "utopenec." It means "a drowned man," it's pickled sausage with onions, perfect with some dark wheat bread and beer. The Czech bread is legendary, like a meal all by itself.
Czechoslovakia first became a sovereign state in 1918 when it declared independence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The state of Czechoslovakia lasted until the "Velvet Divorce" of 1993, which created Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
It was occupied by Germany in WWII but escaped major damage, unlike most other European cities. The nation's capital, Prague, retains some of Europe's most beautiful Baroque architecture as well as one of the largest medieval castle complexes still standing. The President of the Czech Republic has his offices in the Prague Castle even today.
There was a coup d'etat in 1948 and Czechoslovakia fell under Soviet rule. For fifty years Czechoslovakia was a Socialist state under the USSR, subject to censorship, forced atheism and even the arrest of jazz musicians!
In 1989, communist police violently squashed a pro-democracy demonstration and pissed everybody off so bad that a revolution erupted over it, finally ending the Communist rule.
The next twenty years saw rapid economic growth and westernization. Today in Prague you can eat at McDonald's or KFC, shop for snowboarding boots and go see a punk rock show.
The Czech Republic took over the presidency of the European Union in January 2009. This instantly created lots of political drama because the President of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Klaus, is a renowned Euroskeptic.
We anxiously await the outcome of "President Klaus vs. the Lisbon Treaty", a world heavywieght fight sceduled for spring 2009.

Want to support a third party? Here are your options (31 items)
1 of 31. Prohibition Party
Platform: As of 2012, the party's official platform stretches well beyond simply advocating for the prohibition of alcohol and other drugs. It also supports a voluntary federal Social Security System and "the completion of the fortified fence along America's southern border."
However, the party recognizes that "the alcohol issue sets this unique Party apart from all others."
Visit their official website for more information.
2 of 31. Communist Party USA
Platform: The preamble to the party's constitution states that "the living standards of workers and the natural environment on which life depends are under constant attack due to the drive for maximum profits inherent in capitalism."
The constitution then lists the key values to their party's beliefs: jobs and economic security, a decent and rising standard of living, peace, justice, equality, a sustainable environment, gay rights, health care, education, affordable housing, the needs of seniors, democracy, and a fulfilling life for everyone.
Visit their official website for more information.
3 of 31. Workers World Party
Platform: According to the party's website, the party fights for prisoners' rights and amnesty, an end to imperialist wars and occupations and an end to the death penalty. The party also demands many economic rights, such as free health care and food.
Visit their official website for more information.
4 of 31. World Union of National Socialists
Platform: National Socialism, or as it is more common called, Nazism, is white supremacy party that believes "Adolf Hitler was the gift of an inscrutable Providence to a world on the brink of Zionist -Bolshevik catastrophe."
The World Union of National Socialists is an attempt to unify all the various local National Socialist parties worldwide."
Visit their official website for more information.
5 of 31. Socialist Equality Party
Platform: According to the party's "Statement of principles, members accept "the political authority of the International Committee of the Fourth International, the World Party of Socialist Revolution founded by Leon Trotsky in 1938."
Like many other socialist parties included on this list, the Socialist Equality Party fights primarily against capitalism, imperialism and "opportunism." The purpose of the party, according to their website, is "to educate and prepare the working class for the revolutionary struggle against capitalism, the establishment of workers' power and the creation of a socialist society."

Voting accomplishes next to nothing when one has a federal government like ours. Of course, one can try to stave off lamebrains, but it's too much to hope for for Congress to do our bidding. Switzerland demonstrates the feasibility of democracy. Their parliamentarians serve their constituents and only their constituents. They have referenda several times a year. Switzerland goes about things judiciously, while the US is effectively DUI, doing donuts, and its citizens will pay -- unless they take the wheel.
To vote third party is to make sure that Hillary Clinton gets elected in 2016.
A third party candidate would lack party machine and infrastructure--support in
the trying times,
Voting "for the man" is rather ignorant since how can we know "the man" without knowing party platforms and goals and past performance?
The Ross Perot effect of the election with Bill Clinton gave him the election with 49% of the vote. During that administration a first lady, a Marxist with also sealed college theses tried to implement universal health Care and failed due to a GOP Congress even with liberal partisan press.
Want third party (ies)? Get the dem and GOP parties to make the elections if any candidate has less than 50% be a runoff with the top 2 candidates. In a runoff, GHWB would have defeated war protestor and Russian visitor, Bill Clinton, handily.
Ross Perot now wishes he hadn't run. Stars in their eyes voters may or may not realize their error since Newt Gingriches contract with America young, eager Freshmen managed to keep Bill and Hill fiscally responsible.
Becareful what you wish for, you may get it. IMO a President Romney would have had us on road to recovery.
I could get behind the Whig, Constitution, Reform or Libertarian Party. But if
they got too much power, they would be corrupted just like the current D's
and R's.
But I sure would like to VOTE OUT ALL INCUMBENTS and start over.....
Lillith - I voted for Perot for the same reasons I voted for Romney. Economic
At least with Clinton we got a balanced budget for 5 years, something that is crucial if the US is to survive the next 25 years economically.
You can tell me I wasted my vote. But you are wrong. I voted for the best candidate. Too bad the rest of America is too stupid to do likewise.
The Kardashian generation is always looking for a charismatic, sound bite spewing mannequin. Then, after the election, all reverts to inaction - just perpetuating the rich guy on the hill syndrome.....
stupid, stupid, stupid! How about every one forgetting about any party, waking up and kneeling in prayer,reading the Constitution, and getting a life?

Coming soon to the Lowcountry, a popular Christian film festival is making its way from Atlanta down to Hilton Head Island.
The Kingdomwood Christian Film Festival is an annual four day event that allows indie filmmakers a chance to screen films that center on faith based teachings.
This film festival is a win-win situation for both area churches and the local economy. Founder Audrey Thomas created the festival about seven years ago based on what she saw was missing in the film industry.
The festival has grown to attract Hollywood names who will not only help boost the festival, but also the local economy.
Summer is off to a hat start in Hilton Head.
"Most likely the best summer we have ever had on the island," said Susan Thomas of the HHI-Bluffton Chamber of commerce. "It's just doing great across the board."
And it's about to get hotter during the first weekend of October when the Kingdomwood Christian Film Festival comes to town. Local businesses can't wait to capitalize on it.
"It's a big boost to our local tourism numbers because it fills up those resorts and in turn, other travelers that are coming here to look at other lodging opportunities so that creates compression."
The Sonesta Resort and the Beach House will house the 500+ participants during the four day festival.
Thomas said Hilton Head Island was a natural choice for her when she decided to move it down from Atlanta.
"When you think about filmmakers being creative, then there's no better place to be than the water where they can really focus and network and be creative," said Thomas.
She anticipates this year's festival will be the biggest one yet because of religious films like "God's Not Dead" and "Noah" have captivated Hollywood to come to Kingdomwood.
I think it's fantastic that we can tap into Hollywood and let them know that they aren't the only place where great films can come from," said Thomas. "We can have wholesome, family friendly films at Kingdomwood."
Kevin Sorbo, who starred in the film "God's Not Dead", will be the keynote speaker. Thomas said she hopes to return Hilton Head Island for next year's festival but she's going to take it one step at a time and let God lead her.

reminding us that a lot of people are buying Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, their hugely anticipated first person shooter that launched at minute-past-midnight openings around the country this morning.
After a year of anticipation, after the breakout success of the first-ever Call of Duty® XP live fan event, and after pre-order numbers that toppled even those of 2010's mega-seller Call of Duty®: Black Ops, the final dye has at last been cast. Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 3 is now available at retail outlets across Asia-Pacific. Also launching today is the revolutionary new social gaming network Call of Duty® Elite, conceived expressly to help Call of Duty®'s 30 million devoted fans Play Together Better™.As one of the biggest franchises in gaming history, each new Call of Duty release catches is fair share of community criticism, but one thing even the most jaded Aussie gamer shouldn't fault is the simultaneous global launch that due to time differences actually saw the game launching Down Under before North America and Europe (ignoring some broken street-date shenanigans).
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is now on Aussie shelves (and Steam for PC) for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. Read the official press release while you wait for our review.

Strabismus, also known as "heterotropia", "squint", "crossed eye", "wandering eye", or "wall eyed", is a disorderin which the eyesdo not point in the same direction. It typically involves a lack of coordination between the extraocular muscleswhich prevents bringing the gaze of each eye to the same point in space, preventing proper binocular vision, which may adversely affect depth perception. The cause of strabismus can be a disorder in one or both of the eyes; for example, nearsightedness or farsightedness, making it impossible for the brain to fuse two different images.
When strabismus is congenitalor develops in infancy, it can cause amblyopia, in which the brainignores input from the deviated eye although it is capable of normal sight. Since strabismus can cause amblyopia, which is sometimes referred to as lazy eye, it is sometimes itself inaccurately referred to as lazy eye.
In addition to the visual problem, strabismus can be considered a cosmeticproblem owing to the appearance of the deviated eye.
One study reported that 85% of adult strabismus patients "reported that they had problems with work, schooland sportsbecause of their strabismus".
The same study also reported that 70% said strabismus "had a negative effect on their self-image"
Strabismus may be concomitant or incomitant.
Concomitant strabismus means that the strabismus is equal regardless of which direction the gaze is targeted.
This indicates that the individual extraocular musclesfunction individually, but that they may simply not be aimed at the same target.
Concomitant strabismus in a child under the age of 6 rarely indicates serious neurologic disorder.
Blindness in one eye usually causes concomitant strabismus, with the eye of a child turning inward, and that of an adult turning outward.
Incomitant strabismus occurs when the degree of misalignment varies with the direction of gaze.
This indicates that one or more of the extraocular muscles may not be functioning normally.
Types of strabismus include:
Medial strabismus manifests as the inability to abduct (move laterally) one's eye. This is usually caused by damage to the abducens nerveor abducens nucleus. The result is that the eye in its normal resting state deviates medially, as the movements of the medial rectus muscleare less opposed by the denervated lateral rectus muscle.
Pseudostrabismusis the false appearance of strabismus. It generally occurs in infants and toddlers whose bridge of their nose is wide and flat. This causes the appearance of strabismus. With age the child's bridge of their nose will narrow and the folds in the corner of the eyes will go away. To detect the difference between pseudostrabismusand strabismus use a flashlight and shine it in the child's eyes. When the child is looking at the light a reflection can be seen on the front surface of the pupil. If the eyes are properly aligned with one another then the reflection will be in the same spot of each eye. If strabismus is present, then the reflection from the light will not be in the same spot of each eye.
If the eye being tested is the strabismic eye, then it will fixate on the object after the "good" eye is covered.
If it is the "good" eye, there will be no change in fixation, as it is already fixated.
Depending on the direction that the strabismic eye deviates, the type of tropia or phoria may be assessed.
As with other binocular vision disorders, the primary therapeutic goal for those with strabismus is comfortable, single, clear, normal binocular vision at all distances and directions of gaze [2].
If minor and detected early, strabismus can often be corrected with enforced use of an eyepatchon the dominant eye and/or vision therapy. Advanced strabismus is usually treated with a combination of eyeglassesor prisms, vision therapy, and surgery, depending on the underlying reason for the misalignment. Surgery attempts to align the eyes by shortening, lengthening, or changing the position of one or more of the extraocular eye muscles, and is frequently the only way to achieve cosmetic improvement. Glasses affect the position by changing the person's reaction to focusing. Prisms change the way light, and therefore images, strike the eye, simulating a change in the eye position.
Early treatment of strabismus in infancy can reduce the chance of developing amblyopia and depth perception problems. Eyes that remain misaligned can still develop visual problems. Although not a cure for stabismus, prism lensescan also be used to provide some comfort for sufferers and to prevent double vision from occurring.
In adultswith previously normal alignment, the onset of strabismus usually results in double vision (diplopia).
Advocates of the the Bates methodassert that it can eliminate strabismus [3], however, this claim is rejected by the vast majority of mainstream eyecare professionals.

Measure environmental noise.
Sound Meter is just one of those apps you would have never imagined we ever have. Not so many years ago, sound meters belong to cops knocking on your door at your college parties and brainy technicians and physicists talking about sound waves. At some point within, there were those clap'o'meters used in fancy TV shows and roadhouse amateur contests. Who was able to tell that your phone would be able to measure decibels?
Honestly, it isn't a panacea, so if you actually work on something important, this app won't be precise enough and it can be easily deceived. Anyway, even when it gets lost when there's too much noise and it seems to haphazardly give results when in silence, it's a great idea and worthy of being installed. As it's lightweighted there's no harm in having it, because one never knows when it may be useful.
This a Pro version comes with added features (stats...) and no ads.
SPL(sound pressure level) meter app uses your built-in microphone to measure noise volume in decibels(db), and shows a reference. We had calibrated many android devices with the actual sound level meter with dB(A).
REMEMBER!! The smart phone microphones were aligned to human voice (300-3400Hz, 40-60dB).
Therefore the maximum values are LIMITED by the hardware limitation, and very loud sound(100+ db) cannot be recognized. Moto Droid (max.100), Galaxy S3 (81dB), Galaxy Note (91dB), Galaxy S2 (98dB), HTC Desire(82dB)...
Vibrometer app uses the phone sensors to measure vibration or the earthquake, and it shows a reference as a seism detector.
The measured values are the Modified Mercalli Intensity scale(MMI), and just for reference.
If it is inaccurate, you can calibrate it so that the maximum value is about 10-11.
* Pro version added Features:

Works well. Does what it says.

Won't register over 84
I'll put it to you simple I was at the out door shooting range and it never registered over 80 decibels
Works well...
Very convenient. It enabled me to measure the noise level caused by an inside airconditioner and to see that improvements did make a difference in reducing noise levels.

I was wondering who everyone thinks will win the fifth outfielders job this spring for the Giants? I would love Torcato to get the job because Ive liked him for a long time and I love his bat. I think even though he isn't a super fast guy he is smart on the basepaths and his glove is underrated and is atleast average. Although it looks like Alou is leaning towards Ellison who is 0-4 so far this spring, not that it really means anything. Anyways im interested to see what everyone else thinks.
