Can 2010 Be Prosperous Without Manufacturing?January 5, 2010 8:35 am | by Mark C. Tomlinson, executive director and general manager, Society of Manufacturing Engineers | Articles | Comments
As January rolls around each year, we tend to make resolutions with every intention on keeping them. By February, however, most have faded away. But if we want manufacturing to emerge from what some call a "Depression," and support the nation's economic recovery, then we need to go beyond the annual New Year's resolutions, and set a number of things into action.

A beloved restaurant on City Island in the Bronx was a victim of Sandy, but due to a fire rather than the flooding. Borough reporter Erin Clarke filed the following report.
City Islanders say Tony's Pier restaurant burned like a raging inferno.
"Flames 50 feet in the air," said an onlooker.
When the fire died down, an institution had burned to the ground.
"I got here and I saw this thing it just broke my heart," said a local. "I said, where am I going to go on Fridays? This is the spot. This is where we go."
Tony's Pier was where many New Yorkers went, making their way down to the end of City Island Avenue for fried shrimp platters, broiled lobster, steamers and crabs. It was popular with diners from far beyond City Island, who came back over the years.
"We've been coming here since we were children. It's always been a place that our parents took us," said a resident.
The current owners grew up there. Their father worked at Tony's in the 1950s and then became the owner. When he died in 1981, his children took it over.
By Tuesday, those memories were lost in the rubble, but Tony's patrons were confident that it will not be long before they're making new ones.
"One good thing about the Bronx and New York in general is that we always rebuild and we're resilient people," said a City Island resident.
People on and off the island rallied behind Tony's in hopes of getting the business back up and running.
"I will reach out to Governor Cuomo because he and President Obama committed themselves to helping out the State of New York," said Assemblyman Jose Rivera.
The island and state are full of residents eager to prove that they are not defeated by Sandy and its damage, and that strength will be needed in the days and weeks to come.

I recently talked with Quim Gil, Marketing Manager, Nokia. I thought I would share my Q/A with Quim's permission.
As someone who did not go to the Maemo Summit and who is perhaps too busy or too lazy to read through all the conjecture and hype to see what is real. I have some specific questions that I have not seen clear answers to anywhere. I realize perhaps you cannot answer them, but I figure it can't hurt to ask, worst that can happen is you tell me to piss off
Hi there! None of the things I'd tell you can't be said publicly anyway.
I have heard Nokia has hired a KDE developer for Maemo. Is this true?
Perhaps not that accurate. Forum Nokia offered a summer internship to Antonio Aloisio, the guy behind that Qt 4 Maemo garage project. The Summer went fine and he got a proposal to continue working at Nokia in the same project.
Then the Maemo team (different entity) has announced Qt being officially supported in Harmattan, several related position were opened and some of them have been fulfilled.
Why, interested to join us?
If it is true, is KDE development working to provide more software to the platform, or is it being used to provide an alternate UI (non-hildonized) or both?
The garage project started by Antonio had (for what I know, you can ask him) the sole purpose of adding Qt support and open the door to a lot of potential ports and new development. That project hasn't contested the current Maemo UI and, in fact, they have put a chink of effort in making Qt apps look just like a GTK+ app look under Hildon.
The Maemo UI is evolving from release to release, as Harri Kiljander explained in the summit. The step from Diablo to Fremantle is big (wait for the alpha SDK to start seeing this in practice) and we expect also more progress for Harmattan.
But this is a pure UI story, from our point of view Hildon, GTK+, Qt and whatever UI toolkit need to adapt to the UI design and not the other way round. So no, we are not investing in Qt to get rid of the "Hildon UI".
You could say that Hildon itself is moving forward from himself, if you compare Fremantle's Hildon with (say) Bora's.
While the tablet interface is great and very finger friendly, some people are looking for a more Linux like look and feel to the interface. Is Nokia/Maemo considering developing a supported alternate interface? Or are these efforts strictly left to the community?
The current plans focus actually on offering a 100% consumer ready UI optimized for mobile and finger friendly touch. "Linux like look and feel" is currently not a goal in Maemo but this doesn't mean that in the future someone at Nokia might be interested in that.
The internet tablets from my perspective are tiny computers, more than just internet access devices with media capabilities. Tablets can (Print / Use BT Mouse / Burn CD+DVD's/ use Joysticks / run full office suites) Why does Nokia / Maemo not seem to exploit these capabilities?
Because supporting officially a feature in a consumer electronics devices implies a lot more than coding it. We rather concentrate on what makes Maemo unique and what the target audience really finds essential.
Then the platform is open and people like you can go after these kinds of hacks. We are happy seeing this experimentation and we might be getting some of that in future releases.
With all the community hacking to provide a full Debian distro, is Nokia/Maemo considering joining or using the other Debian projects already underway which could provide significantly more software to the future hardware platform?
In terms of platform, we want to have Maemo as aligned as possible with the mainstream Linux distros. This is why we have a regular kernel, Xorg, D-Bus and so on (instead of "embedded" equivalents, for instance).
Currently the evil is in the details: Busybox, different versions, some specific drivers… We are willing to work with Debian, Ubuntu, the Maemo community and whoever else wants to join getting a more common platform and making life easier for third party porting and developing.
But the primary goal is to ship consumer products with commercial quality. This means that as much as we want to align at a platform level, we don't see much value in e.g. using plain Linux desktop paradigms. We do see how this excites the geeky side of the community but this is surely not enough to create a sustainable (actually profitable) software platform releasing successful con sumer products.
[Penguinbait] (Can't say I didn't try )
Hardware specs, I want a bigger screen 1024×600 and more RAM (256MB min 384/512 would be awesome). Any chance this is in our NEAR future?
Sorry but the Maemo Software team doesn't talk publicly about future hardware specs. The Fremantle roadmap disclosed recently shows clearly that new hardware will come but that's all we can tell at this point.
Thanks for your understanding!
And thanks for your continuous interest in the Maemo platform.
Quim Gil
marketing manager, open source
Maemo Software @ Nokia
I just want to say thanks to Quim for taking the time to answer my questions.

Placing an animal on hold
If you cannot visit our shelter right away, we offer an adoption hold program for your convenience. You may place a hold on an available animal by phone or in person during business hours. The following fees apply: 1st hold, $20.00; 2nd hold, $10.00.*
*Hold fees are non-refundable and are not applied towards the adoption fee
Our adoptions are Satisfaction Guaranteed!
While there is a person for every animal, we know that not every animal is for every person. If you adopt an animal from HSBV and discover that you are not compatible due to behavior concerns or medical issues, you may return your pet at any time and your adoption fee will be refunded.
Where do our animals come from?
The animals in our adoption center come to us in several different ways. Many of our dogs come to us through our active transfer program. Some are surrendered by their guardians due to compatibility differences or living constraints. Others are found as strays and if they have not been claimed from Lost and Found within 5 days, may become eligible for adoption. We also occasionally partner with other organizations, such as the ASPCA or HSUS, in helping take animals from hoarding situations or puppy mills.
The Humane Society of Boulder Valley gives dogs a new leash on life.
Every year, animal shelters around the country receive more dogs and cats than they can possibly find homes for in their communities.
We know what that's like and strive every day to find homes for all of our adoptable pets. While we still have some pet overpopulation issues, our community has done a great job in eliminating the euthanasia of adoptable pets. Today, only animals that are not deemed adoptable for temperament or health reasons are euthanized.
But our role in saving pets' lives is far from over.

They're very professional and they do a great job always, and I've watched them do some work and they are very meticulous in what they do there. I've been going there for years and they've always done a good job and it's why I keep going back. I've never had anything bad done and I can't find anything bad to say about them. I am very particular about my vehicles.
Well, what had happened is that we were on the 95 coming from North Carolina on our way back to New York and lost our power steering and on that exit and he helped us immediately. He put other work aside to help us immediately. I think he was very fair and he didn't cost us a lot of money, and he was very fair in the pricing. You know I was really impressed that he took the time to take the time on a Monday or Tuesday and worked late into the evening to take the truck apart, out of his own time to get us on the road the next day. He stayed well past normal hours.

SwitchPoint is a one-of-a-kind conference and a unique opportunity to learn, share ideas, and hear about global and mobile health efforts around the world. We had a great time at SwitchPoint last year. I'm excited to announce that Caktus, for the second year in a row, is sponsoring SwitchPoint ...

Caktus has had the opportunity to work on the infrastructure of RapidSMS, an application framework that allows data collection and logistics coordination using mobile phone text messages for communication. The BBC World News recently posted an article, "RapidSMS: Saving a life in 160 characters" detailing the effects of RapidSMS technology ...

A swap to the soft Pirellis once again played into Ferrari's hands as Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa claimed the 1-2 in final practice for the Chinese GP.
Although Mercedes led the way on the medium compounds, Ferrari came to the fore in the final ten minutes as the drivers swapped to the quicker soft tyres.
Alonso posted a 1:35.391 to beat Massa by 0.622s while Lewis Hamiilton was a further 0.052s off the pace.
Caterham got proceedings underway on Saturday morning with Giedo van der Garde and Charles Pic momentarily topping the timesheets. However, as rivals came out, the Caterham duo plummeted with Sergio Perez setting the pace after the first 15 minutes. A 1:38.769 for the McLaren driver, who admitted after Friday's practice that his confidence in his MP4-28 is low due to the car's inconsistency.
Kimi Raikkonen was the next to lead the way before he was overhauled by 2012 Chinese GP winner Nico Rosberg. The German, though, soon lost out to his team-mate Lewis Hamilton who lowered the benchmark to a 1:37.042 while Sebastian Vettel put his Red Bull racer up into second place.
Halfway through the session four drivers had yet to set times, although all four were finally out on track: Mark Webber, Fernando Alonso, Felipe Massa and Pastor Maldonado. Webber went fourth on his first attempt, Alonso fifth and Massa, who had a moment at the final kerbs, was sixth quickest. Maldonado went tenth quickest.
There were a few slip ups on the still slightly dusty surface, however, everyone - including Perez - managed to avoid the barriers before swapping to the soft tyres for the final 15 minutes.
Rosberg was the first although his run came to a halt when he backed off, complaining that something is "broken with the springs." He headed back to the pits while his team-mate Hamilton extended his advantage at the front to a 1:36.065.
It was all-change, though, as the Ferraris strapped on the soft tyres with Massa going quickest by 0.05s only to lose out to Alonso as the Spaniard clocked a 1:35.391, putting him 0.622s up on Massa.
As others put in their soft tyres runs, Vettel improved to fourth place while Webber was fifth. The Red Bull duo were 0.8 and 1.0s off the pace. Adrian Sutil slotted his Force India into sixth place ahead of Raikkonen and Jenson Button.
1 Fernando Alonso Ferrari 1:35.391
2 Felipe Massa Ferrari 1:36.013 0.622
3 Lewis Hamilton Mercedes 1:36.065 0.674
4 Sebastian Vettel Red Bull 1:36.286 0.895
5 Mark Webber Red Bull 1:36.420 1.029
6 Adrian Sutil Force India 1:36.549 1.158
7 Kimi Raikkonen Lotus 1:36.605 1.214
8 Jenson Button McLaren 1:36.693 1.302
9 Sergio Perez McLaren 1:36.777 1.386
10 Nico Hulkenberg Sauber 1:36.853 1.462
11 Jean-Eric Vergne Toro Rosso 1:37.072 1.681

This is a wonderful idea! Guys, if you do it, it will be great:) 8 years ago
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.
- The Robots.
how about mit's endicott house or harvard hillel ? the latter has plenty of windows, a great courtyard for breaks (but not in the winter!), and an interesting building. i can help with both locations. 9 years ago
We'd love to come to Boston. We just need a venue that can hold 40-50 people and isn't sterile like a hotel room. Please post your ideas. Thanks. 9 years ago
asked my friend in the local theatre/improv scene about the Improv Boston space:
ImprovBoston is ill-suited for this. Never mind the no windows—there's the subpar bathrooms. Also no screen. Proximity to the 1369 and Christina's Ice Cream only buys you so much. :) 10 years ago
The ImprovBoston theatre in Cambridge might be good for something like this. Holds about 50 people comfortably. Not sure if they rent it out for non-improv purposes, though.
Or MIT's an open campus—I'm sure we could just nab a lecture room when no-one's looking :) 10 years ago
We'd love to head out to the east coast and Boston is a distinct possibility. It's all about lining up the proper venue. We need a cool space (read: not a bland hotel meeting room) for 40-50 people. If anyone has any specific ideas, please feel free to post them here. Thanks. 10 years ago
I'd like to attend "Building Basecamp", I'm sure there are others in Boston who would as well, and the alliterative nature of this goal was irresistible.
Possible routes are to get a company to sponsor it (hard to crash)
Get a price quote and figure out how many people makes that feasible. 10 years ago

A flaming torch.
(IX-912: dp. 15,800 (f.); l. 445'; b. 59'; dr. 26'6"; s. 10 k.; cpl. 83; a. 1 5", 1 3"; cl. Flambeau)
The third Flambeau, a tanker, was built in 1919 by Sun Shipbuilding and Drydock Co., Chester, Pa., as S. B. Hunt; acquired by the Navy 8 January 1945; and commissioned the same day, Lieutenant R. S. Green, USNR, in command.
Commissioned at Pearl Harbor, Flambeau was converted there for use as an oil storage ship in which capacity she served at Saipan until July, and then at Iwo Jima. She sailed from Pearl Harbor 30 December for Norfolk, Va., where she was decommissioned 5 April 1946, and returned to the War Shipping Administration.

NotHawk's Monday Mailbag - Gordon Beckham Knows What's Up
Every Monday on South Side Asylum NotHawk will answer your questions. Your questions do not have to be related to the White Sox, for NotHawk is the smartest man in the world and has answers for everything. He is also incredibly handsome. Send your questions to email@example.com or ask him on Twitter.
Hawk, you are so good looking. Don't you ever die. - @GordonBeckham
This is not a question, but it's a wise observation. The man may have trouble catching up to any fastball above his waist, but he knows handsome when he sees it. As for my death, as I've said many times, there is so much cocaine flowing through my veins that I have become immortal. So don't you worry your pretty little head about me, Gordon. Just try hitting .250.
Who's the biggest heinie-bird in Chicago? - @JJStankevitz
This question used to be a lot easier to answer, but then Jay Mariotti decided that he'd move to Los Angeles and choke the shit out of some women. A decision that left a gaping hole in this city's heinie-bird population. The only person who comes close to living up to Mariotti is Oney Guillen, but even he spends half the year outside the city, so I'm not sure he counts.
So I'll just go ahead and say Darrin Jackson. Why I haven't killed him yet I'll never know.
What are the chances Adam Dunn's home run total is higher than the size of his waist in inches? - @ShootsDogs
At first I though Michael Vick was sending me a question, but then I remembered he merely drowns dogs. Whatever your method of killing dogs is, this is a great question, and one that's very easy to answer.
The only problem is we just don't know how fat Adam Dunn is going to be when he shows up to Arizona this spring. For the sake of the question we'll just say that lardo was serious about working out over the winter and shows up with a 38-inch waist.
Not that it really matters, because unless Adam gets AIDS or becomes a bulimic and shows up with a 24-inch waist, he's not going to out-homer his gut.
Have you ever had sex with a tranny hooker? - @Wardo2178
Post-op or pre-op?
If you could kill anyone on the Sox BESIDES Rios, who would it be? - @bjo109
Jake Peavy. Not because I dislike him for any reason, but because Jake Peavy COMPETES. He is a COMPETITOR. And if I'm going to fight a man to the death, I want that man to BULLDOG his way through the fight.
Plus I've always wanted to know what a muscle ripping clean off the bone sounds like, and with Jake, I'd find out.
Did you blow your load quicker when Ken Griffey Jr "hosed" the Twinkie out at home to help win the division (the 2008 tie-breaker) or when DeWayne Wise made "the catch" for Buehrle? - Lucas Snyder
Lucas, you did not include your Twitter handle in your email. NOW YOU WILL NEVER BECOME FAMOUS.
As for the answer to your question, no load comes quicker than any other. They are all powerful and they all impregnate any women within 50 feet.
What will it take for us to sign Cespedes? What is your take on the recent singing of that 16 year-old Venezuelan pitcher and are the Sox finally going become a player on the international markets in places other than Communist islands in the Carribean? - @xwingr2
Two questions in one. You're a cheating bastard.
What will it take to sign Cespedes? The same thing it takes to sign any free agent. Money. If the White Sox offer Cespedes more money than any other team does, then Cespedes is going to sign with the White Sox. All that bullshit about the White Sox having a history with Cuban players won't have any effect on his decision.
As for the Venezuelan kid, Luis Martinez, I don't think the White Sox will become a "player" on the international market in the way I think you mean. New rules go into effect next year that will limit a team's ability to do so. I think Kenny is just finally ready to spend money on the international market once again after getting bent over a table and fucked by Dave Wilder. It took a while for his ass to recover from that.
How many greased golf tees have you put in your butt over the years, and what sized pliers do you use to remove them? - Robert Montgomery
Another question without a Twitter handle. This is the first edition of the mailbag, so I'm letting it slide. But let's try and get our shit together in the future, people.
How many tees? I've lost count, honestly. At least 500, maybe more. Every once in a while I take a dump, feel a pinch and then see a tee floating in the toilet below. It's just part of the danger that comes with the territory of backing up your words with action.
As for the pliers, the kind I have are made by Stanley. They're a needle-nose size because it's just more comfortable that way.
Until next week.

Fergadelic: Prog to Pushead
Fergus Purcell (a.k.a. Fergadelic) was born in 1970, and the decade hasn't stopped influencing him since. The iconic, hyper-literal designs and logos he's created for Silas, Hysteric Glamour, X-Girl Japan, and his own Tonite label often combine the stoner aesthetics of prog rock and classic metal with a subversive sense of humor that seems straight from the pages of Robert Crumb and Viz comics.

This was our second trip with Friendly Planet, and it was absolutely wonderful. The safari vehicle was clean and comfy, and our guide Newton was a fountain of knowledge. The accommodations are great and we saw more animals than anyone could wish for. We hit the middle of migration and saw wildebeest as far as the eye could see. We saw all of the Africa Big Five and have memories that will last us a lifetime. Thank you Friendly Planet for another great trip!

If you're looking for an African wildlife safari you can afford, look no further. Savvy travelers and novices alike include Kenya & Tanzania on their list of safari tours, and for very good reason. Both countries are blessed with an abundance of spectacular wildlife and lavishly gorgeous, incredibly photogenic landscapes. Everywhere you go, from the teeming cities to the plains of the Masai Mara, the people are friendly and welcoming. Tourist infrastructure is amazing, often offering white glove service where the basics of running water and electricity appear impossible to find. Game reserves are magnificent, filled with all manner of wildlife, beautiful lakes and beaches, and sweeping vistas that seem to go on forever.
With more than 50 parks to choose from in Kenya alone, and almost 25% of Tanzania protected as nature reserves, it's hard to decide where to go. But everyone agrees that the Masai Mara and Samburu parks in Kenya and the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania are must-visit sites. Our Best of Kenya & Tanzania Wildlife Safari includes them all plus a lot more! And like all Friendly Planet tours, you'll enjoy the best of Kenya and Tanzania at prices that are as amazing as the countries themselves.
To enhance your visit to Kenya and make it more complete and memorable, we offer exciting optional excursions. These are available through your guide or tour manager and must be purchased locally. See our detailed itinerary below for full descriptions of each excursion. More information, including updates on pricing and availability, will be included with your travel documents.
Day 1: Depart USA. Depart from JFK this evening on your overnight flight to Kenya via Brussels.
Day 2: Arrive Nairobi. Arrive Nairobi. Upon arrival late this evening, our representatives will assist you with passport and customs formalities and escort you to your hotel. Accommodations: Intercontinental Hotel Nairobi.
Day 3: Nairobi. After a good night's rest and a morning of leisure, begin your tour of Nairobi with a visit to the Karen Blixen Museum, which is the former home of "Out of Africa" author Karen Blixen and served as the farm house for her 4500 acre farm from 1917–1931.
Next, you'll visit the Langata Giraffe Center, established to protect the endangered Rothschild Giraffe. Guests are permitted to feed the giraffes from a raised feeding platform, from which you'll also see several warthogs which roam freely with the giraffes. Breakfast provided.
Day 4: Mt. Kenya National Park. Depart after breakfast and drive north into the forests of the Aberdare Mountain range to Kenya's highest mountain, Mt. Kenya. On the slopes of Mt. Kenya, some 2000 meters high, you will be surrounded by a dense rainforest, but will still be able to view breathtaking mountain panoramas. Arrive at the lodge in time for lunch. Experience game viewing from the lodge balconies and take in the trumpeting sound of nearby elephants. The waterhole is floodlit at night. In addition, there is an underground viewing platform. Accommodations: Aberdare Country Club on Jul 23, 2014 departure, Serena Mountain Lodge on all others. Breakfast, lunch & dinner provided.
Day 5: Samburu Game Reserve. Following breakfast, travel north to the remote Samburu Reserve via Isiolo. This is the homeland of the nomadic Samburu people, whose culture attaches great value to tending their livestock of cattle, sheep, goats and camels as their main economic activity.
Samburu is rich in species not seen in southern Kenya's more famous parks, such as Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, kudu and gerenuk. You'll also have a good chance at spotting lions, cheetahs and the elusive leopard. The semiarid landscape is dramatic, with the rugged outcrop known as Mt. Ololokwe a prominent feature. The Ewaso Ngiro River, which forms the southern boundary of the reserve, attracts many birds and is a popular watering hole for elephants. Arrive at your lodge in time for lunch and some relaxation, then take an evening drive for more game viewing. Accommodations: Samburu Game Lodge. Breakfast, lunch & dinner provided.
Day 6: Samburu Game Reserve. Enjoy another day of game viewing drives in the Samburu Game Reserve. The first is early in the morning, after which you'll return to the lodge for breakfast. Spend the day relaxing, then set out again in the early evening. Guided by your expert driver, you'll go exploring in a safari vehicle with roof hatch access for perfect game viewing and photography, searching for animals native to this fascinating and beautiful area. Breakfast, lunch & dinner provided.
Day 7: Lake Nakuru National Park. Early this morning, travel to Lake Nakuru National Park. Travel south through the town of Nanyuki and then head west via Nyahururu (still known to many as Thompsons Falls). Visit Lake Nakuru, which often appears pink from the numerous birds lining its shores.
This park is a rhino sanctuary, offering the rare opportunity to see these endangered animals. It's also home to rare Rothschild's giraffes, buffalo, leopards and lions. Arrive at your lodge for check-in and dinner. Accommodations: Sarova Lion Hill Lodge. Breakfast, lunch & dinner provided.
Day 8: Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya. After breakfast, set out for the Masai Mara National Reserve, which borders Tanzania's Serengeti National Park. Every year, between June and September, millions of wildebeests and zebras migrate into the Mara in search of water. The timing of this phenomenon varies, depending on the rains, but they usually start heading back to the Serengeti in October.
Whether you see the migration or not, the grassy plains and lush landscape offer a huge variety of game including lions, cheetahs, buffalo and abundant bird life such as ostriches, cranes and storks. Enjoy lunch at a nearby lodge. After lunch, depart for a game drive en route to your lodge, arriving as the sun sets. Accommodations: Keekorok Lodge. Breakfast, lunch & dinner provided.
Day 9: Masai Mara National Reserve. Today you will take two safari drives, one in the morning and one in the early evening, in a safari vehicle with roof hatch access for perfect game viewing and photography.
You'll have the option of replacing one safari drive with an optional Hot Air Balloon Safari, which provides a thrilling opportunity to soar high over the plains for animal viewing from above. Whether you go by air or land, you will enjoy searching for animals native to this fascinating and beautiful area guided by your expert guide, who will amaze you with his ability to spot game hidden in the bush. Breakfast, lunch & dinner provided.
Optional Excursion: Masai Village Tour, $25. This afternoon, you can get an in-depth look at this colorful and pastoral people in their natural setting. Experience what the Masai tribal life is like as you walk through a traditional village compound.

A BIG CONGRATS on reaching that 1.5M mark and your nice new red pickup truck! Wow! Truly awesome! Others ahead of you have retired, so there is lots of room at the 2M milestone!

You're one of only 5,422 GBs, of more than 8,000,000 GBs, that have accumulated at least 1,500,000 points! Can you believe that GBs are still active going on 13+ years and heading for the 5M milestone, and many GBs continue on before they retire between 3M and 4M! Keep going, don't stop now, like so many that retired once they reached their first red car or stopped at 2M! Keep leading the way for others to follow in GasBuddyland!

CHICAGO, October 20, 2013 — Detroit went 88-74 last year, winning the AL Central, and made it to the World Series before being swept by the Giants. The Tigers improved their regular season record to 93-69 in 2013, but did not have the same playoff success. After beating the Oakland Athletics in the ALDS, Detroit lost to the Boston Red Sox in the ALCS. Now it is time to say better luck next year to the Detroit Tigers.
What Went Right: Miguel Cabrera followed up his MVP campaign last year with an even better year statistically including the same number of home runs and a higher average but didn't win the Triple Crown showing some of the randomness in that achievement. Cabrera led the AL in all of the slash line categories posting a .348/.442/.636 line, good for a 187 OPS+, and provided 7.2 WAR. Cabrera was hampered by injuries throughout September and into the playoffs or the Tigers may very well still be playing.
SEE RELATED: Los Angeles Dodgers lose in NLCS to St. Louis Cardinals
Victor Martinez missed all of 2012 with a knee injury, and his catching days appear to be behind him as he didn't catch or play first base this year instead seeing action in 159 games as the designated hitter. Martinez struggled early in the year, but came on strong to post a .301/.355/.470 slash line, good for a 111 OPS+.
Max Scherzer was the center of the debate about how important wins are this year, but regardless of how you view the win statistic Scherzer was just flat out good. Scherzer logged a career high in innings, 214.1, while posting an ERA+ of 145. Scherzer also struck out 28.7% of the batters he faced this year, near the highest of his career, while walking a career low of 6.7% of batters.
Scherzer was not alone in having a great year amongst Tiger starters as both Anibal Sanchez and Doug Fister also had great seasons. Sanchez threw 182.0 innings in 2013 with an ERA+ of 163, while striking out a career high 27.1% of the batters he faced and walking 7.2%. Fister did not post the eye popping totals of Scherzer and Sanchez, but tossed 208.2 innings with an ERA+ of 115, while striking out 18.1% of the batters he faced (close to league average) and walking just 5.0% of hitters he saw.
What Went Wrong: Prince Fielder was still one of the best first baseman in the league this year, but did post his worst season since 2006, his first full year in the majors. Fielder had a slash line of .279/.362/.457, good for an OPS+ of 120, and produced 1.7 WAR. Fielder has a strong enough track record where he can be expected to bounce back but this year was substandard by his lofty standards.
SEE RELATED: Oakland A's lose ALDS to the Detroit Tigers for second straight year
Alex Avila may never approach the level that he produced at in 2011, but that season seems to indicate he is capable of better than the .227/.317/.376 line that he posted this year.
Justin Verlander dipped to the levels he had shown in 2009 and 2010 after being the best pitcher in baseball the last two years. Verlander threw 218.1 innings this year with an ERA+ of 121. Verlander's strikeout rate of 23.5% was slightly below the 25%'s he had posted the last couple of years, but his walk rate of 8.1% and line drive rate of 24% were both well above the levels he held hitters to the last couple years.
The struggles of Phil Coke and Al Alburquerque strained the Tigers' bullpen, which was largely bailed out by their starters logging a MLB high 1023 innings. Coke threw 38.1 innings and posted a career worst 78 ERA+, which could be largely due to his walk rate ticking up to 11.9% from his career level of 8.7%.
Al Alburquerque appeared in 53 games, but was no where near his previous levels when he was viewed as a potential closer. Alburquerque had an ERA+ of 92, and although his walk and strikeout rates were near his career levels he allowed a 27% line drive rate. Finally, the Tigers farm system entered the year ranked 27th according to Baseball America, but does not have the high end prospects that the Tigers can, and have in the past, trade for more players to help the big club as they did in acquiring Miguel Cabrera and Anibal Sanchez.
What to Look for in 2014: The Tigers are in win now mode, and have been for a few years. With Max Scherzer becoming a free agent after the year the Tigers may look to add another high profile free agent, as they did with Prince Fielder, like Robinson Cano in an effort to push them over the top. If they do, their offense and starting pitching would likely have them competing for another AL Pennant.
Free Agents/Options: Jhonny Peralta, Joaquin Benoit, Omar Infante, Octavio Dotel, Ramon Santiago, Jose Veras, Brayan Pena

("I/P Engine") requests that this Court exclude any testimony or other evidence of agreements that arose under dissimilar and widely divergent circumstances, and cover technologies that are not in the same field of use. Specifically, I/P Engine requests that this Court exclude any licenses that Google's expert has included in his expert report that are not comparable licenses and any licenses between Google and other third parties that Google's expert has included in his expert report solely to support his speculation that Google only enters into lump sum agreements, despite the fact that Google has no such policy.

Does this mean a boy can try out and take a spot on one Gonzaga's girls teams? This young lady has taken away the opportunity for a boy to play and he doesn't have the same chance as she does to get a spot somewhere else.

rude nurses
- 0Oct 4, '07 by sziq1OK I have had just about enough of rude nurses. I have just spent 7 weeks on my psych rotation and there are 2 nurses there that have made it clear that they do not want us there. One of them said, right in front of us "not of day shift" when we announced that we were there. and the other one literally told me that "she didn't have time to follow around the nursing students" and shooed me away with her hand when I told her that we were missing one of our classmates (on a psych unit). I wasn't asking her to find her I was just asking if anyone might happen to know if the classmate went somewhere.
I have told my instructor about one of the nurses and the instuctor took care of it as best she could but now I feel like I will sound like a whiner if I tell about the second nurse.
If a person hates to teach others and is so miserable then maybe they should get a new job. At what point as a student is it ok to stand up to the rude behavior and bring it to the rude nurses attention? I do not question if I am cut out to be a nurse but all the rude nurses that we are so dependant on as students is making want to pull my hair out.:angryfire:angryfire:angryfire
- 0Oct 5, '07 by Soup TurtleI ignore the rude ones and find nurses who enjoy teaching to follow around. I can't make anyone like teaching students, so I don't bother trying. I'd rather deal with someone who's glad to have me around.
- 0Oct 5, '07 by RunsWscissorsI am nowhere near where you are at, but I know how nurses can be. just like anyone else really. I work for the USPS and trust me, when you start there you are lucky if you can get the time from someone. I think everyone gets territorial and develops amnesia. I mean unless these ladies sprang from the womb fully-formed and licensed, then apparently at some point they were student nurses. However, they forget that part.
My only thoughts are, do you absolutely have to speak with these women? If you do, I would probably ask your instructor in a tactful way what you could do to improve your working relationship with these women. This way it wouldn't sound so much like whining, more like self-improvement. I'm pretty horrible at keeping my own cool, so this advice is probably lame. If it were me I'd probably have already managed to say something I'd regret. Gotta work on that.:trout:
- 0Oct 5, '07 by DaytoniteThere are rude people in every profession. This is just a quirk of fate that you happened to find the two meanest working on the unit where you are doing your clinicals. Just stay out of there line of fire. People who act like this have self-esteem and control issues and are looking for any scapegoat who runs into their radar to pick on. Don't make yourself a willing target for them. They've already warned everyone of their bad nature, so just stay away from them. Your clinical instructor is your immediate supervisor anyway. Use her as your go between if you have any questions that have to be asked of these staff members.
- 0Oct 5, '07 by LadyEJ BSN, RNWow, lucky you. Only two rude nurses at your clinical site. All of the nurses that we work with have an arrogant air about them and clearly are not thrilled about our presence. I stick close to the CNAs, they are much more helpful than the RNs. But this is only our first clinical so I can get away with very little RN contact. We are just learning the basics.
- 4Oct 5, '07 by underpaidrnNot all RNs are as hateful as these two sound. I for one love having students with me for the day. I work in home health and when I have students, I just drive them around for the day. They do all the work with me coaching from the sidelines. If they mess up something, we discuss it in the car. I learn from them and they learn from me. None of us were born with stethoscopes hanging from around our necks and these nurses have shown you that they have little confidence in their own skills and can't teach a student. Steer clear, let your clinical instructor know what's happening and she can re-assign you to a kinder nurse who wants to teach. Hang in there. There are a few of us out there that LOVE students!:spin:
- 0Oct 5, '07 by sziq1thanks for all your thoughts! I have had many wonderful nurses that want to teach but it is the ones that are rude and arrogent that make me want to pull my hair out. fortunately next week is our last rotation on that floor, but I am sure those two nurses are not the only ones that I will run into this semester that forgot that they were once nursing students. I guess the only person I can change is myself so I better figure out how to do that. Sometimes I wonder why it is the one without the problem that needs to change...
oh yeah to underpaidrn thanks for being so nice to your student nurses they definately appreciate it!
- 0Oct 5, '07 by deeDawnteeOh Yes, I so remember what a terrible burden we were as nursing students and the Psych nurses were some of the worst for me as well. It is way beyond my understanding and I really think behavior like that needs to be addressed by their own management. Unfortunately, I would bet there is a lot of unhappiness all around in those situations and adding nursing students into the mix is just one more straw on the almost broken camel's back. I have always worked nights, but would love to have some nursing students to precept. It would just be a better shift for students, I would think. But I know, staying up all night isn't great for most people either.
I'm sorry you are going through it. Nurses like that are plain miserable. They can't be very satisfied with their careers or their lives. I wonder what they were like when they were students? Perhaps this is revenge?
Use it as a lesson about how you don't want to be. Good luck to you!
- 0Oct 5, '07 by Jamie2887I would just casually ask a question, such as, "When you were in nursing school and rotating through clinicals, how would you have done -insert question-?, because I'm just learning and need encouragment." or you catch my drift. I have no tolerance for people like this, my first clinical is tuesday, and this is the part i'm dreading, so far the strategie i plan on going with is killing them with kindness, and just being my normal outgoing bubbly self.
- 0Oct 5, '07 by MikeyJMost of the nurses I have encountered have been helpful and kind (most of the time). The charge nurse on my Ob rotation is the BIGGEST B**** I have ever encountered! I smile to her, ask her how she is doing, etc... and she will look at me with this disgusted face or say something really inappropriate. The other day I was walking behind her heading into the same room as she was and she slammed the door in my face. I am tempted to say something to her on my last day of clinicals there, but I most likely won't. She probably has control issues or self-esteem issues because I have never met anyone who can be THAT mean in life.

Slow start, fantastic finish

Bulls guard Derrick Rose soars toward the basket in the second quarter Wednesday against the Suns.

PHOENIX -- About an hour before the Bulls played the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday night at US Airways Center, Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau was asked about the status of forward Taj Gibson.
Thibodeau said Gibson -- who missed practice Sunday and Monday with a pinched nerve on the outside of his right foot -- was showing no ill effects after playing 40 minutes the previous night against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Gibson's foot may have been fine, but his right ankle wasn't. About a half hour after Thibodeau spoke with the media, Gibson was a late scratch with the ankle injury.
At least Gibson got to watch a thriller as the Bulls rallied from an early 23-point deficit before winning 123-115 in double overtime.
Derrick Rose, who fouled out in the second overtime, led the Bulls with 35 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists. Grant Hill paced the Suns with 25 points.
Against the smallish Suns, Thibodeau decided to go small, inserting Ronnie Brewer into the lineup at small forward with Luol Deng shifting to power forward.
That lineup may have made sense on paper, but it didn't work out well for the Bulls at the start -- and you can be sure Thibodeau won't be featuring it any time soon.
To put it mildly, the start of the game couldn't have been much worse for the Bulls. They were late arriving at the arena because of a walkthrough at the team hotel -- and they were late arriving (at least mentally) for the game.
Rose appeared to score the Bulls' first basket with a three-pointer as the shot clock was running out, but that basket was taken away during the first timeout when the officiating crew ruled that he didn't get the shot off in time.
With that basket off the board, the Bulls were down 29-8 less than nine minutes into the game. The Suns' biggest lead was 36-13.
Phoenix featured a collapsing defense to prevent Rose from driving to the basket, and no one could hit a perimeter jumper to exploit the weakness of that defensive scheme.
The Suns were up 36-17 at the end of the first quarter, and things weren't much better at the start of the second quarter, but the Bulls rallied to trim the deficit to 62-50 at halftime.
Deng and Kyle Korver started hitting shots, and seldom-used James Johnson came off the bench to provide energy and a lift on both ends of the court.
Johnson had seven points (3-for-3 shooting), four rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 10½ minutes in the first half. He finished with 12 points.
At the start of the second half, the Bulls were within eight points less than two minutes into the third quarter, but the Suns quickly pushed the lead back up to 18 points midway through the quarter.
The Suns had an 84-72 lead at the end of three quarters.
