White Sox pitcher John Danks roughed up by Reds; trip to minors likely

GOODYEAR, Ariz. — With each passing start, John Danks looks like he'll open the season pitching for Class AAA Charlotte, not for the White Sox as he had optimistically aimed for after his first side sessions of spring training.
You couldn't blame Danks for wishing for the best. His surgically repaired shoulder felt good. He's just not getting outs, so he's obviously a ways away from being ready.
Danks had his worst outing of the spring Tuesday, and it's apparent the Sox' 2012 Opening Day lefty needs time to build up arm strength and get a better feel for his pitches before he takes the mound in 2013. Left-hander Hector Santiago is looking like a good bet to open the season as the fifth starter in the rotation.
"I don't really know what to say,'' Danks said after getting tagged for 10 runs on 11 hits Tuesday in the Cincinnati Reds' 10-6 victory. "I don't remember the last time, or if ever, I've given up 10 runs. It hurts your feelings a little bit, I guess.''
Reds hitters were 11-for-20 against Danks (16.34 ERA), whose starts have grown progressively worse this spring. His fourth one Tuesday lasted 31/3 innings, and Danks did not strike out a batter while walking two and allowing homers to the last two batters he faced — Chris Heisey and Jay Bruce.
No strikeouts, despite being in favorable two-strike counts on two or three occasions, are an indication of where Danks' stuff is. He admitted that himself.
"Physically, I feel OK,'' he said. "I felt good enough to throw today so I'm not going to use that as an excuse. It's just one of those days where nothing would go right. I felt like when I'd make a good pitch it would get hit and certainly when I'd make a bad pitch they got hit.''
Danks gave up a run in two innings against the Giants his first start, allowed four runs on seven hits over 21/3 against the Diamondbacks in his second and six runs on seven hits over 31/3 against the Angels last Thursday.
The only good thing about Tuesday's outing was the pitch count of 82, which stretches Danks out on course to start in early April. Unless his velocity gets up to speed, that won't happen.
"I'm not putting a time on anything,'' said Danks, who early in camp had said he fully expected to break camp with the team. "It's not my decision to make. I've just got to go out there and keep on working hard and continue to do what I'm doing. I feel like physically I'm making strides. Obviously, the results haven't been there.''
Santiago, who opened the 2012 season as the surprise closer, eventually went back to the minors to get stretched out as a starter. When he returned, he went 2-0 with a 1.86 ERA over 191/3 innings in four starts.
If Santiago opens as a starter, Dylan Axelrod could make the team as the long reliever unless Axelrod gets the starts.
With off days on the schedule April 2 and 8, the Sox could go through two turns of the rotation with four starters, giving each a four-day rest. They also like utilizing the extra days, though, for the long-term purpose of keeping their starters fresh.
Manager Robin Ventura wouldn't speculate on that, but said he's comfortable with short-term options for Danks.
"That's something that comes into the equation but you talk to [Danks] first,'' Ventura said. "We'll see how he is tomorrow and you assess from there. The window is closing, though. It's getting pretty tight.''
A cheer-up talk is probably in order as well.
"It's pretty frustrating,'' Danks said. "I'll try to keep it PG. I didn't have fun today, if that's what you're asking. I didn't have too much fun today.''
Reds 10, White Sox 6
FOR THE RECORD: The White Sox fell to 10-9-3 as John Danks was roughed up for 10 runs on 11 hits over 31/3 innings. While Danks looked far from ready for April, relievers Matt Thornton, Addison Reed, Matt Lindstrom (0.00 ERA) and Donnie Veal each pitched a scoreless inning of relief, allowing one hit between them (Veal).
DEEP THOUGHTS: Adam Dunn hit his third homer of the spring and probably his longest, an estimated 450-foot shot to center field off Homer Bailey with two runners on in the first. Gordon Beckham hit his second homer of the spring. Dunn also singled and had four RBI.
OUCH: Dayan Viciedo left with a cramp in his right quad after roping a triple off the right field wall. It's not believed to be serious.
HEALING: Jeff Keppinger, who played in the field for the first time since March 9 because of a sore right shoulder, started at third base. He walked and singled twice in three plate appearances. Tyler Flowers caught six innings and hit his fourth double, tying him with Alexei Ramirez for the team lead.
STILL HOT: Jordan Danks probably will start the season in Class AAA but his hot streak is worth noting. His single in two at-bats gave him 10 hits over his last 14 at-bats.
BACK SOON: Alejandro De Aza (Dominican Republic) and Alex Rios (Puerto Rico), who squared off in the World Baseball Classic championship game Tuesday, are expected to rejoin the Sox by Thursday.
ON DECK: Gavin Floyd is matched against Brandon McCarthy in Glendale at 3:05 p.m. (audio at mlb.com).

The greatest Yankee of all time. He hit a ton of home runs, and would have hit more if he wasn't such a boozehound. He wanted to punch umpires in the face for not calling him safe at the plate. Died about 14 years ago from liver failure I believe.
Yankee Fan #1: Hey did Mickey Mantle just punch that guy in the face?
Fan #2: Well, you don't mess with the Mick after a night of hard liquor.

A great baseball player; a celebrity; a champion. Mickey Mantle played for the New York Yankees from 1951 till 1968 and is one of the greatest baseball players in history. Mantle won the American League Most Valuable Player award three times (1956, 1957, 1962) and the Major League Triple Crown (1956). He was also a seven-time World Series champion. Mickey Mantle is a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame.
He could be the next Mickey Mantle.

WESTMINSTER, Md. (AP) - A lawyer for a man charged with murder in his girlfriend's shooting death is seeking a competency hearing for his client.
Twenty-six-year-old William Brueckmann is charged in the shooting death Monday of 21-year-old Brittany Warfield.
Attorney George Psoras filed the motion at Wednesday's bail review hearing in Carroll County District Court. Psoras wants Brueckmann to be evaluated at a state-run psychiatric hospital. The court did not rule on the motion.
Psoras said the shooting was not murder, but an accident with tragic consequences.
The Carroll County Times ( http://bit.ly/Sh3OIO) says charging documents indicate Brueckmann told police he was planning to committee suicide and Warfield was tried to take the gun from him with it discharged.

text: 5 Absolutely breathtaking!Terra10 | 27/03/2010 | See all Terra10's reviews (2)Where to begin? This game is just amazing. There is so much to do at times it's almost overwhelming! For newcomers to the series fear not, as there is a very detailed recap video showing what happened in Yakuza 1 and Yakuza 2. I am a newcomer and after watching those vids, understood exactly where 3 picks up from.Let's take a look at some of the things available to do in this game.Main story: Will take you around 20 hrs to complete IF you choose not to do any sub stories or take part in any of the mini games. I won't go into detail on the story as I don't want to spoil anything for potential buyers, but in short...the main story is extremeley DEEP and told very well.Sub stories: A total of 101 sub stories are available and a lot of them are hilarious, to complete all 101 will take you a while.Mini games: There are a total of 16 mini games to take part in. These include, Pool, Darts, Karaoke, Fishing, 2 Arcade games within "Club Sega", Poker, Roulette, Blackjack, Cee lo, Baseball batting cage etc etc.Dating: There are a total of 9 girlfriends in the game which you can go out on dates with, you can take them to some of the minigames mentioned above, for a meal or even a spot of shopping! Each girl also has her own sub story to be completed once you have taken her out on 2 dates.Exploring the cities: Throughout doing missions on the main story or sub stories, you are freely able to wander around each of the 2 cities. There is Kamarocho and Okinawa. Both contain a vast amount of activities to see and do, from shopping for items to taking part in mini games etc.Brawling: Let's be honest, this is a brawler at heart, and probably the main feature that stands out. The fighting is amazing, very arcadey feel and easy to learn. There are "Heat" moves which are powerful devestating attacks that can only be done when your heat meter has peaked past a certain point.Honestly, I could go on and on. If I were to talk about everything you're able to do in this game, this review would be very long. Understand this though, Yakuza 3 is an amazing game. It might not be to everyones taste. but those who give it a chance will love it! There is nothing more I can say, others than BUY IT!

Illustration by H. Douglas Pratt
Look for their large nesting colonies on cliffs as well as on buildings and under bridges. Polytypic. Length 5.5" (14 cm).
Identification Adult: square tail; orangish buff rump; dark cap extending below eye; chestnut cheeks, sides of neck, and throat; bluish black on lower throat; cream to buffy forehead patch. Underparts, including flanks, whitish. Juvenile: similar to adult, but entire head usually dark brownish black, sometimes with small pale grayish, whitish, or rusty forehead patch. Rump paler buff. Chin and upper throat pattern quite variable, some mixed with white, full black, gray, or cinnamon. Flight: short triangular wings and square tail. Whitish underparts and paler underwings contrast with dark head and throat. Hybrid: very rare; hybrids with the barn swallow and tree swallow (once) known. Cave swallow hybrids possible but not confirmed.
Geographic Variation Considerable intergradation between 4 recognized subspecies. Western (hypopolia) similar to nominate Eastern (pyrrhonota) subspecies, but larger, with larger, paler forehead, whiter breast, grayer flanks, paler rump, more rufescent underparts. Two southwestern subspecies, tachina and melanogaster, are smaller, show darker cinnamon to chestnut foreheads.
Similar Species Cave swallow.
Voice Call: a subdued squeaky twittering given in flight and near nest.
Status and Distribution Locally common. Breeding: various habitats, including grasslands, towns, open forest, and river edges wherever there are cliff faces or escarpments for nesting. Small to large colonies, on cliff faces and on man-made structures (sometimes with barn swallows), rarely at cave entrances. A gourd-shaped structure built entirely of mud and saliva; 1–6 eggs (April–June). Migration: always via Central America. Departs winter range in early February. Arrives in southern California in early February, Arizona in early March, Illinois in early April, and Alaska in mid-May. Departs after nestlings fledge, sometimes as early as late June. Peak is August–early September, earlier in Southwest (July–early August). May linger to early November in East. Winter: grasslands, agricultural areas, near towns, and in marshes. South America, from southern Brazil south to south-central Argentina. Vagrant: casual in Barbados in winter. Accidental to Wrangel Island, Siberia, southern Greenland, and United Kingdom.
Population Has expanded its range into the Great Plains and eastern North America in the past 150 years.

Order in the next 3 hours 8 minutes and select next working day for delivery to mainland UK on Tuesday
The Lindam FlexiGuard is a lightweight and portable alternative to conventional safety gates. Incorporating a quick release pressure fit handle, the FlexiGuard can be installed in 3 simple steps.
This collapsible barrier innovatively 'twists and folds' into its own carry bag making it ideal for travel.
The FlexiGuard is not a traditional safety gate and acts only as a temporary barrier to safeguard potential danger areas. To open, it must be completely removed.
Purchased by grandparents to take on holiday. The product seems fine for use in a holiday home. Small enough to take with us and adjustable for the size opening required. Not an opening gate but easy enough to move by adult to access area which needs blocking off for toddler
Very good product easy to put up and is compact when folded away i bought this for my balcony door and it fits fine
bought to use on holiday but will use at home too for additional 'barriers' as required(now my toddler has worked out how to open doors!) as so quick to put up. comes with its own carry bag and quickly collapses, but only down side was didnt come with any instructions. It's not difficult to use, but just took a few minutes and some trial and error to figure it out with no instructions.
nice and cheap, easy to use etc
As i do not want a permanent door gate this is great & easy fix too

NASCAR The Game: Inside Line [w/video]
by Seyth Miersma (RSS feed) on Nov 19th, 2012 at 2:59PM
Gentlemen, Stop Your Engines – New NASCAR Title Is Not Impressive Typically, when we receive a copy of a new video game to review, diving into and documenting the online/multiplayer aspects of it proves challenging. There are a few reasons for this: We're generally playing the game before or right after it has gone on sale, which really limits the number of folks playing online, but in the case of NASCAR The Game: Inside Line, we're happy that we got some playtime in on Xbox Live to start our test. Online gamers not only had strong first opinions about this NASCAR game versus... Read More

We'll watch the action of the five superstar tools of tunnel construction--the rock drill, explosives, the tunnel boring machine, the gas detector, and the shotcrete gun.
In this episode, we dig deep into the workings, history, and technology of the superstar tools that enable us to burrow beneath the earth. Tunnels--underground, through mountains, beneath oceans and rivers--are among engineering's great achievements. Workers must create a seamless and waterproof space where only unforgiving rock existed before. We'll visit one of America's biggest tunnel projects, Atlanta's CSO (Combined Sewage Overflow). To help manage waste water during torrential rains, two four and a half mile long tunnels are being constructed under the city to channel storm water overflow to a pumping station. What began as backbreaking labor with a simple hammer and chisel is today a state-of-the-art hi-tech industry thanks to the ever-improving technology of these five essential tools.

WholeFoods Magazine SourceBook: The Natural Products Directory
Washington, D.C.—Each spring, industry members visit lawmakers in Washington, D.C. to help ensure our laws continue to guarantee access to natural products. The Natural Products Association (NPA, npainfo.org), based in D.C., coordinates these visits by making appointments for association members with their Congressmen and women. This year, nearly 150 members representing 33 states plus the District of Columbia came to Capitol Hill for more than 140 meetings on Tuesday, March 23rd.
According to show organizers, some 56,000 industry members attended this year's Natural Products Expo West/SupplyExpo, held in Anaheim, CA. Overall, the mood was enthusiastic, though it was clear that the recent regulatory events were a chief concern of many companies. Nonetheless, Expo West offered many educational lessons and was the launch pad for several new products and company initiatives.
Acquisitions, new launches, new partnerships, awards, new initiatives and more.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is spending more and more time reviewing reports of liver damage caused by drugs. It is with this backdrop that results from a new Cancer study on a milk thistle-derived ingredient show some promise for maintaining liver health in individuals taking certain chemotherapeutics.
Eagan, MN—A branded natural carbohydrate (Wellmune WGP from Biothera, based here) is the subject of a new published study in Agro Food Industry Hi-Tech that indicates it may help improve psychological well-being while decreasing symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection.
Secaucus, NJ—Thousands of natural products ingredients marketers, formulators and suppliers have their calendars marked for SupplySide East 2010, April 26–28 at the Meadowlands Exhibition Center. Here, they will have their choice of four educational tracks and numerous exhibits to visit.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced the long-awaited details of the final rule regarding access to pasture for organic livestock. This rule amends the National Organic Program (NOP) regulations to clarify the use of pasture in raising organic ruminants. The final rule provides consumers with certainty that organic livestock production is a pasture-based system in which animals are actively grazing pasture during the grazing season.
Portland, OR — Bob Moore, co-founder of Bob's Red Mill Natural Foods celebrated his 81st birthday by announcing on February 15 that the company is now employee owned.

Data Virtualization: The Way Out of the Analytics Dog House
December 10, 2012 Leave a comment
I have long admired Rick Sherman's BI and data management writing as it is grounded by the challenging client projects from his Athena IT Solutions consulting practice.
So when I wanted some help in explaining the role of data virtualization as an enabler for analytics, I reached out to Rick.
New White Paper: A Better Way to Fuel Analytical Needs
Rick, David Besemer (Composite's CTO and Data Virtualization Leadership Blog Contributor), and I started by brainstorming about the issues holding back analytics adoption. We then met to map out how organizations build their analytics today and where data virtualization can help.
Leveraging these discussions, Rick's hard-earned field experience and additional research, Rick developed a new white paper, A Better Way to Fuel Analytical Needs.
In his white paper, Rick writes that as the BI industry matures and businesses learn more about the power of information, the demand for analytics is being driven more by its business value than by its technical value. The potential value of business analytics and the amount of data to fuel it are significantly expanding, yet BI and data-integration backlogs are constraining enterprises from tapping that value.
Data Silos Are a Challenge
According to Rick, "enterprises have been accumulating and accessing more and more data for years, now is the time to leverage that data using business analytics. Unfortunately, business analysts often spend more time reconciling conflicting numbers from each reporting silo than actually analyzing the data to improve the business."
Rick counsels that "the best answer to the limitation of physically integrating data into a data warehouse and direct access to data sources on a point-to-point basis is expanding your data integration to include data virtualization. Data virtualization enables IT and data-savvy business people to catalog, provide access to and integrate various data sources."
Check out Rick's Blog
Rick's blog, THE Data DoghouseSM, is a well-known source for "unleashed observations on the business and technology of performance management, business intelligence, and data warehousing." His blog about this white paper is eponymously named, A Better Way to Fuel Analytical Needs.

Your Most Personal Health Questions Answered!
The experts at ChickRx are here to tackle the most personal, embarrassing health questions you were too afraid to ask!
By Seventeen Magazine
"I Have My Period and I'm Going 'Number Two' All the Time! Why?"
"That time of the month is often accompanied by uncomfortable symptoms, like bloating, breast tenderness, menstrual cramps, nausea, and headaches—and yes, more frequent bowel movements aren't uncommon. What causes you to poop more is Prostaglandin, a hormone-like substance that's released by many different cells located in tissues all over your body. During your period, and often a few days before, Prostaglandin is released from the lining of the uterus in large amounts, so you're likely going number two more often than usual.
There are a number of over-the-counter medicines that can either block the action of prostaglandin or reduce the amount of prostaglandin that's produced. Try Ibuprofen (like Advil), aspirin, or Naproxen (like Aleve). In some cases when girls have really terrible cramps and other miserable symptoms with their periods, I have suggested they start taking one of these medicines—as directed on the box—a couple of days before they expect their period to arrive."

Fred Hicks on Reviews and Reading
-Fred Hicks
Obviously, this trickles down a bit from yesterday's post. I believe the Evil Hat Man to be right; I think there's a lot to be said for a game that gets you excited to play in its reading. This can be through the author's own enthusiasm for the game, through an excellent presentation of rules (you can be excited that you get it), or through great and/or suitable accompanying art.
But mostly I find that if an author can't convey a sense of interest in excitement in their own RPG product, they're going to have a much harder time selling me on it. It's a problem I think a lot of late D&D 3.5 splatbooks suffered from, actually.

It's not just that. Reviews based on reading only are one important level of critique. Ultimately, you want both reading and play reviews, but when a product is first released, you can't get play reviews immediately. Furthermore, there are a lot of real experts in certain lines who have played the crap out of a game and its supplements and they can often quite accurately tell how a game or module is going to play just by reading it.
This attack on reading-only reviews is another example of an excluded middle.

In the game designer community there are a few guys who stand out in terms of professionalism, humility and just being downright awesome human beings. Fred is one of those guys for sure.
- September 16, 2009 at 11:40 AM
I really must agree with reviewing game materials based on reading, not playing. Suppose someone played a poorly-written adventure module with a really great GM, or a well-written one with a poor GM? The play can color their perceptions. I'd rather have a review of the raw potential and presentation of the product "as-is", not with some highly variable play experience grafted onto it.
- September 16, 2009 at 12:23 PM
- Talysman said...
Interestingly, I said the same thing today, but harsher, before reading the blogs. And I thought I was going to be the only person to say "don't review play, review the product".
- September 16, 2009 at 1:58 PM
- Scott said...
I've gotten excited about a number of modules on a read-through only to discover that they play terribly. If I had reviewed them based solely on read-through, am I really being a responsible reviewer by telling others to buy the product without knowing that it does a poor job at its intended use?
- September 16, 2009 at 3:05 PM
- Zachary The First said...
I think there's merit to both read and play reviews. On one hand, play reviews can be influenced by varying group and GM quality, but on the other hand, how something reads and how it plays can differ.
Usually, I like a mix of both when I'm looking at a product, as well as any free previews or sneak peeks offered. But I certainly value capsule reviews of that type.
- September 16, 2009 at 3:16 PM
- ChattyDM said...
Whatever method one uses, and however a publisher likes it or not, it all boils down to:
Don't be a dick.
And that applies to both sides.
- September 16, 2009 at 3:54 PM
- MJ Harnish said...
And I thought I was going to be the only person to say "don't review play, review the product".
Amen to that. Strictly reviewing games/supplements based on AP experience introduces all kinds of uncontrolled variables in to the process which certainly doesn't make the review any less impartial or objective - if anything it makes it even more subjective because the group's experience is really going to influence one's opinion.

Watching Movies Outdoors with an iPad
Why Pay $20 for a Coke and Popcorn?
Once an American cinematic staple, the drive-in movie theater has gone the way of dinosaurs, bell-bottoms and Pong. Losing those big outdoor screens and their parking lots to farmers markets and swap meets is a little sad, but fortunately today we can watch great movies on our iPads wherever we are.
Even better than those oversized projector screens, watching movies outdoors on an iPad improves the quality of the movie, lowers the cost and adds to the convenience. But of course, anytime your iPad leaves the comforts of the living room there is the constant threat of device destruction. So, make sure your device has the proper level of protection to withstand the rigors of outdoor movie viewing with a LifeProof case.
A LifeProof case for your iPad, along with an account to stream or download top movies is the inexpensive ticket to hours of great outdoor movie watching. Plus, the quality and clarity of the iPad screen with our "naked screen technology" make the movies almost leap off your iPad. Honestly, even the top movie theater digital projection systems can't make films look this good.
Watching movies on iPads means that members of the digital generation can take their favorite flicks with them wherever they go. If you're heading out on a camping trip, family vacation, long haul flight, or anywhere else, you have hours of entertainment queued up and ready to go with just a touch.
Add in the water, dust and shock protection you get with a top-quality LifeProof case and you can watch the latest releases without worry. Whether you're sitting poolside while kids swim or you're tucking your iPad into your backpack as you set out on an overnighter with the local hiking club, you can bet your little theater is protected.
It's also important to mention the high-level video quality that the iPhone delivers as well. Not only is the iPhone the best communication device in the world, it's like having a personal cineplex in the palm of your hand. With a rugged LifeProof iPhone case, a great set of earphones and a good movie, you can be totally entertained no matter where you are on the planet.
The lights, the camera and the action:
• iPad video quality is virtually unsurpassed
• Downloads and streaming accounts bring top movies to the iPad
• LifeProof cases let you watch movies outdoors with a iPad
• iPhone video is like your own personal cineplex

[Translate] A couple of weeks ago, I attended a discussion at the annual Jerusalem International Book Fair entitled, The Changing Jewish Kitchen – Is Jewish food still Jewish food and what is it?. The panel consisted of cookbook author Joan Nathan, Israeli chef, TV personality and food writer Israel Aharoni, Israeli chef Ezra Kedem (Arcadia Restaurant in Jerusalem), and the moderator, baker, chef and restaurant consultant Mark Furstenberg. I have been a fan of Joan Nathan's since my mother gave me one of her cookbooks, Jewish Holiday Kitchen, almost 25 years ago. The first two recipes I made from that cookbook were for Passover: Seven-Fruit Haroset From Surinam and Larry Bain's Bubie's Haroset. They were Click here to continue reading this post

If You Were President...
We asked our Ocean Heroes finalists: If you were elected President, what would be the first thing on your agenda?
They gave us some pretty great answers, check them out below, and don't forget to vote for your favorite finalist! Who knows, maybe one of our finalists will be running for President themselves someday.
Michele Hunter Stop the killing of all marine mammals throughout the entire world.
Hardy Jones Expose levels of pollution.
Kristofor Lofgren I would change our energy policy, because reducing carbon and oil and gas spills, creates a healthier and less acidic ocean.
Dave Rauschkolb End offshore oil drilling.
Rick Steiner An emergency effort in clean, sustainable energy, and energy conservation, to stop climate change and its devastating impacts on marine ecosystems.
Don Voss Appoint Sylvia Earle Secretary of World's Oceans and give her free reins to establish regulations as needed.
Sara Brenes Ban all shark finning in US, no shark products to be sold, imported or exported, create an ocean world conservation summit to try and make a plan to end shark finning, whaling and overfishing and try to create peaceful and safe ocean pact.
The Calvineers Reinforce the Endangered Species Act, especially the Marine Mammal Act so that NOAA would be better funded and more efficient at protecting marine mammals from human made dangers.
Sam Harris No killing sharks on this earth ever!!!!
James Hemphill Ban the chemical BPA from plastics to reduce the human input of toxins in the ocean.
Teakahla WhiteCloud I would ban all long-line fishing and trawler fishing and make sure all ocean laws are strictly enforced and make all reef systems National Parks.
Only a few more days of voting are left, tell us your favorite finalists today at oceana.org/heroes!

What Motivates You?
To be an Ocean Hero, you have to have a strong commitment to your work—so what keeps our finalists going when the going gets tough?
The voting is open for our 2012 Ocean Heroes Awards, but if you're having a hard time deciding who your favorite finalist is, here's a chance to get to know them better.
Each of our finalists has their own unique story about just what it is that motivates them to protect the world's oceans. Here's what they told us keeps them working hard to achieve their goals:
Michele Hunter Sometimes it's witnessing the small steps a critical patient will take because of the dutiful care and treatment we provide to our patients. Knowing that all those hours of care made a difference. Being able to stand on the beach with your team and release an animal that you helped save is motivation enough!
Hardy Jones Frankly, what motivates me is the undeniable need for reform of the way we view and deal with the oceans. There is real danger of a collapse of the ocean ecosystem. Other motivation comes from direct contact with the magnificence of the ocean realm. Finally, I am motivated by the knowledge that I can make a difference if I put out the energy and intention to accomplish important goals.
Kristofor Lofgren I want to live in a healthy and beautiful world. I also want to do all I can to share that wonderful world with others. I am motived each and every day to help make the world a better place for everyone I never meet, simply because it is the right thing to do. We all breathe the same air, drink the same water, and share the same earth. I choose each day to bring passion to simple, good work...and that is enough.
Dave Rauschkolb The unapologetic grip the dirty fuel and nuclear industries have on our world, and seeing that clean energy and renewables are beginning to break that grip.
Rick Steiner I'm motivated by knowing the desperate state of the oceans, seeing my favorite seas and coasts lost to human ignorance and greed, and facilitating the successes I've been involved with. There is simply no other option but to ramp up the science-based advocacy for ocean protection -- and that is a powerful motivator. It is urgent to act, not just talk about the problem. Knowing we can, and must, succeed.
Don Voss I am motivated by the thousands of kids I talk to each year who are interested and react to this project. I help at least 25 new divers a year get started and into this sport and debris collection. I am motivated by the progress in removal and changes in water quality we are finding just this year. I am motivated when others notice what we do and want to participate and/or learn more. I am motivated when we continue to release thousands of snagged and trapped aquatic animals. I am spiritually motivated when I visit our Turtle rescue hospital and visit the critters we have sent there. Turtles are awesome and send me home an activist.
Sara Brenes I am so passionate about my belief and my drive to make a difference. I feel like I breathe, eat, sleep, and dream about sharks and our oceans. I think it is just hard wired in to me to not give up and to fight and fight and fight and reach another person and another person and another one. Just don't stop!
The Calvineers The North Atlantic right whale is the most endangered large whale in the world. Their population has grown little in the last thirty years (from about 300 to about 450), way below the estimated 2-3,000 needed for recovery. Until the whales recover, the Calvineers will keep up their work of educating the public.
Sam Harris I do it for the sharks. I love them.
James Hemphill My love of the ocean keeps me going. This is a problem that will not go away. As long as there is a large human population, there will be conflicts with the environment that need solutions. I want to be a part of those solutions. I have a stubborn determination to see cleaner oceans. This is where I play, swim, surf, fish, and kayak. I want my children to experience the same beautiful environment that I have.
Teakahla WhiteCloud Knowing that I am saving hatchlings so that the ocean will continue to live so that I will have a future to live.
Don't forget to visit oceana.org/heroes and vote for your favorite adult and junior finalists. There's less than a week until the voting period is over!

Need a Beach Soundtrack? We've Got You Covered.
Heading out of town for the fourth of July? As with any trip, you need a great destination and some tunes for the ride.
Our Ocean Heroes finalists have spent time on the beach and on the water, learning to appreciate and protect all the ocean has to offer. Each shoreline has its own unique qualities that make it special. We asked our finalists for their favorite ocean destination -- maybe some of them are heading there this week for the holiday!
We also asked them to pick their favorite ocean-related songs and bands, and we put together a Spotify playlist
Check out their answers below!
Dave Rauschkolb:
Place: My home beach, Rosemary Beach.
Song: The B-52's / Rock Lobster
Don Voss:
Place: Little Cayman Island, Qamea, Fiji or Yap
Song: Adele / Rolling in the Deep
Hardy Jones:
Place: St. Augustine, FL, where I live
Song: The Beach Boys / Good Vibrations
Rick Steiner:
Place: I have lived on the ocean most of my life, and have traveled the world's oceans and coasts. I'd love to return to the NW Hawaiian Islands, the Oregon Coast, the South Pacific, Papua New Guinea, Mauritania, the coast of British Columbia, the Katmai coast in Alaska, St. Lawrence Island, Nunivak Island, Bering Strait, the Aleutians, the Arctic coast, Great Barrier Reef, and Prince William Sound (before the Exxon Valdez oil spill).

If You Could be Any Ocean Animal...
Have you ever dreamed of being a dolphin? Or maybe an anglerfish, octopus, or sea turtle?
Exploring the oceans from one of these animals points of view would be an exciting (and eye opening) experience.
So what marine animal would you be if you had the chance to be any creature in the ocean? We posed this question to our Ocean Heroes finalists, and here's what they had to say. See if you can match their responses to the pictures above (answers at the bottom of this post)!
Michele Hunter – Harbor seal
Hardy Jones – Sperm whale
Kristofor Lofgren – Mako shark
Dave Rauschkolb – Porpoise
Richard Steiner – Polar bear (I like the odds and the challenge they face)
Donald Voss – Humpback whale
Sara Brenes – Tiger Shark
Calvineers – Blue whale
Sam Harris – Tiger Shark
James Hemphill – Hawksbill Sea Turtle (I have always been amazed at all the colors on its shell and how gracefully and peacefully it swims)
Teakahla WhiteCloud – Dolphin
Make sure to vote for your favorite Ocean Heroes, open from now until July 11th. Stay tuned to learn more about our finalists!

What Inspires an Ocean Hero?
Our Ocean Heroes finalists love the ocean, that's clear from the work they do. But each finalist has their own unique story about what inspired their love for the oceans and their need to protect the waters and the life in them. You've met our finalists, now get to know them better then vote for your favorites.
We asked each of our finalists about what inspired them to get involved in ocean conservation, and here's what they had to say:
Sara Brenes: I have always loved the ocean and especially sharks. I watched the movie Sharkwater and I was blown away by what was happening to sharks. I had no idea, and all I could think about was ways to help them. I asked my mom if I could start a charity and she did not realize I was serious. But I kept bothering her and bothering her and speaking to people about it and then it happened. I just could not imagine a world without oceans. I love being in the ocean and I cannot imagine our world without ocean life. I want to be able to share this love with my children one day and other people as well. I decided to make it my mission to educate people and I learned I could help to change people's opinions, especially by having shark encounters myself and sharing my experiences.
The Calvineers: Editor's Note: This message comes from Bill McWeeny, the Principal Investigator and mentor for the Calvineers. The Calvineers grow up in Castine, Maine, surrounded by the waters of Penobscot Bay. Many of the students' parents attended and/or work at the Maine Maritime Academy in Castine. The ocean is very much a part of these students' lives. I use my connections to the Ocean in their classes weekly, and I have them read Rachel Carson. The first generation Calvineers formed the volunteer project in 2004 because they were interested in animal rights. This theme is strong in the present Calvineers. This group has many reasons for being inspired in ocean conservation, from wanting to work closely with wild animals to looking for ways of expressing a love of nature (through anatomy and art form).
Sam Harris: I was born to do it. I don't know I'm pretty sure I'm half shark. My heart just says do it. I have known this since I was a baby.
James Hemphill: I started taking an interest in wildlife when I was five years old hiking in the marine estuary trails and cypress swamps at First Landing State Park with my dad. The fact that I lived in a coastal city and vacationed in the Outer Banks sparked my passion and respect for the ocean. I swam and played at the beach and Chesapeake Bay and kayaked the Currituck Sound since I can remember. I learned the importance of marine ecology at a young age. This is my home. Every day I see and smell the water. If I don't do something to clean it up, who will?
Teakahla WhiteCloud: I was inspired watching my parents and seeing the baby hatchlings dying because of artificial lights and no one was doing anything about it here. I thought we should help because we need to keep sea turtles on our Earth. So if I have to make sure they live still in the oceans then I have to put all the hatchlings that I can into the ocean and ask other kids to help.
Rick Steiner: At the age of 21 (1975), I first came to Alaska on a NOAA ship surveying the Katmai coast, and that's when I fell in head-over-heels in love with Alaska and the oceans. Over the following decades, I witnessed the continual degradation of ocean ecosystems, punctuated by the overnight disaster of the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska. This intensified my outspoken, science-based advocacy in Alaska, the nation, and globally.
Michele Hunter: Upon visiting Pacific Marine Mammal Center (called Friends of the Sea Lion at that time) over 20 years ago, I was moved and inspired by the good work that this organization was doing. I came back the next weekend to visit and inquired about volunteering. The Director at that time, Judi Jones said she had a feeling about me and moved me up the waiting list and I started as a Sunday morning volunteer.
Donald Voss: I was wounded in Vietnam and used swimming and scuba as the device that allowed me to walk again when it was thought to be unlikely. I have over 10,000 logged dives and have been to most exotic dive locations around the world. There is no place that is not damaged by humans and human trash. I have fashioned a reasonable method to remove this trash and restore the beauty that was there to assist my soul and body when I needed some help. I have a passion to reverse this problem. This is something I can do that matters, and I have the time to do it.
Kristofor Lofgren: I love the ocean. There is nothing that I enjoy more than living, playing, and being near its power. The ocean is the single most valuable natural resource we have on this planet. To not be involved in taking care of it seems negligent at best.
Dave Rauschkolb: The 2009 Florida Legislature passing a bill in the House of Representatives to open up Florida's waters to near and off shore drilling. I am a lifelong surfer and am passionate about the preservation and importance of every drop of water I have surfed in.
Hardy Jones: I was originally inspired by the works of Jacques Cousteau. But the real inspiration came when I began diving in the late 1950s and saw the wonders of the ocean world. I have been sustained by feedback from people young and old around the world to the messages we offer via film, books, and internet.
Voting will be open until Wednesday, July 11th. Vote for your favorite finalists today!

Bone marrow is a spongy substance found inside our large bones, such as the femur (thigh), hips, and ribs. It is made up of cells called hematopoietic stem cells. Hematopoietic stem cells are "baby" cells that grow up to become either white blood cells, red blood cells, or platelets. The bone marrow acts as a greenhouse for these cells, growing them and storing them until they are needed. Unfortunately, sometimes cancer cells can find their way into the bone marrow, making it difficult for the marrow to do its job of producing healthy blood cells.
Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy are tests to check the function of your bone marrow or to check for the presence of cancer cells. Bone marrow aspiration involves using a needle to take a sample of bone marrow fluid from inside the bone. Bone marrow biopsy involves using a needle to take a small sample of the bone and marrow. These samples are then examined under a microscope. This may be done before therapy to assess the condition of the marrow or after treatment to assess the response to treatment.
The procedure is done by a physician or nurse practitioner in your hospital room or in the outpatient clinic. The area used for a bone marrow aspirati on is the hip or breast bone. The area used for the bone marrow biopsy is your hip. You will be asked to lay on your stomach or side, so the area can be reached easily. Your nurse practitioner or doctor will explain the procedure as it is performed, but these are the steps, so you will know what to expect.
Please do not hesitate to ask your doctor or nurse if you have any additional questions.

Dec 22, 2014 - For patients in remission with acute myelocytic leukemia, the risk of relapse is higher and the prospect of leukemia-free survival is lower for patients who undergo autologous stem cell transplantation from peripheral blood versus bone marrow, according to a study published online July 13 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

Does the XXL Freshmen List Even Matter Anymore?
Every year, XXL selects ten up-and-coming prospects and dubs them as the new crop of "Freshmen," regardless of how many years they've actually been sending mp3s to sites and getting their name on whatever bill they could. To be selected, it definitely helps to have at least two of the following:
- already be signed to a major label – This automatically means you can't be a total flop, since the major label that cops ads for the magazine will benefit from the partnership of having their new signee appear credible. More Freshmen selected from a label, more ads from the label.
- hype – You don't have to actually be talented to be selected as next. How else can you explain artists like Machine Gun Kelly, Yelawolf, Iggy Azalea, Lil' Twist, and OJ Da Juiceman getting an honor that artists like Stimuli, Skyzoo, and Vado couldn't get?
- come from a hip-hop family – Sorry, Diggy Simmons, but this goes for you. While you're not a terrible rapper, there's also nothing besides your bloodline that separates you from everyone else. Oh, and that Atlantic deal.
- don't be a chick – Out of 50 rappers selected as up-and-coming, only one female has been selected, and it is the untalented and nowhere-to-be-found Iggy Azalea. Nicki Minaj? Nope. Drake? Nope. If XXL had been doing their job, they would have featured those cats before they got as big as they did. Nitty Scott? Nope. Boog Brown? Nope.
- don't be a producer – For some reason producers don't seem to count, even though they're, in my opinion, the most essential element in creating quality hip-hop. No Lex Luger or Harry Fraud takes away from whatever credibility these lists are supposed to have.
XXL also plays it incredibly safe in picking ten new artists each year. It's pretty hard to pick the one or two artists that will really blow, but when you take ten and hope that one or two of them blow up on a national level and the rest can be mildly successful, which in 2013 terms seems to be dropping a couple of free mixtapes that get picked up by a couple of blogs, then everything worked out.
This year they're also giving fans the illusion of helping to choose the 2013 class. Some obvious choices this year include Joey Bada$$ and Action Bronson, but seeing as how neither one will probably be copping any ads this year from a major album, I would be shocked if they made it. They need a white guy, so Action's got the best chance, plus they'll probably have him holding a spatula or some other kitchen utensil. If they pick both, it would be great for hip-hop and blow my whole theory to shreds.
In order for these lists to have credibility, a few things need to change. First, stop selecting so many. I'd say no more than four rappers and two producers. Second, don't base it on major label affiliations or co-signs, but on actual talent. No one from G.O.O.D. Music has dropped an album I'd consider worth copping, yet every act Kanye signs gets the nod. Base the selections on actual talent and doing that will require them to do a little more homework and a little less catering to the major labels and relying on the safe options.
