Actors Strike: AFTRA & SAG Split Has Bold and Beautiful Connection Daytime Confidential March 30, 2008 Actors Strike, AFTRA, SAG, The Bold and the Beautiful Deadline Hollywood Daily's Nikki Finke is reporting that the recent split between AFTRA and SAG over the upcoming Actors Strike has a daytime connection. In the post Finke reports that the Bold & Beautiful's Susan Flannery has been circulating a petition to " decertify AFTRA as the union representing the actors on the long-running soap" but that Flannery's petition was common knowledge and that AFTRA is blowing everything out of proportion. We've posted a paragraph from the letter sent out by AFTRA below but be sure to visit Deadline Holly Wood Daily for the entire story and further details. Excerpt: "AFTRA recently became aware that leaders of SAG have involved themselves in a campaign to encourage cast members on the CBS daytime drama "The Bold and the Beautiful" to decertify AFTRA as their union. The people leading this drive apparently believe that decertifying AFTRA would further the goal of having one union for all actors. In fact, it would do the opposite. If successful, it would leave the performers on "The Bold and the Beautiful" stripped of any union representation and uncovered by any union contract. This situation is sadly not surprising given SAG Hollywood leadership's ongoing campaign of misinformation to disparage AFTRA."

One of the most important aspects in a language is how powerful and easy it is to use its collection/container types. At least that is my feeling coming from Smalltalk where the Collection classes and their rather rich protocols are used extensively and also cover String and Array and much more. If you peek into the current leading open source Smalltalk - Pharo - you can see Collection allSubclasses size
evaluate to 78. Of course, lots of those are special subclasses and not for general use, but fact remains that a strong language needs a strong library of good collections.
In Smalltalk I can for example run this:
This is actually a single method call taking two closures, one to perform a "filtering", and one to perform a "map". This is not a standard message in "good old" Smaltalk-80, but it has eventually been added since the usage pattern is so common. To me personally a modern language needs similar power or I would go nuts. :)

NEW YORK - Phoenix Coyotes tough guy Brian McGrattan has voluntarily entered the substance abuse program administered jointly by the NHL and the players' association, the league and union announced Saturday.
No specifics on his issues were given.
McGrattan will continue to receive his salary and benefits and will face no penalty as long as he complies with the program's prescribed treatment and follow-up care plan.
The program's doctors, Dr. Dave Lewis for the NHL and Dr. Brian Shaw for the NHLPA, are administering McGrattan's care.
The 27-year-old from Hamilton is in his third NHL season but has appeared in just three games with the Coyotes, collecting 12 penalty minutes.
He spent the past two seasons with the Ottawa Senators.

text: 04/20/09 Name_______________________________ Section______________________________ Introductory Microbiology Pre-lab Assignment Isolation of an Antibiotic Producer from Soil 1. (1pt) Name four genera of microbes and their microbial type that produces a vast number of antibiotics. 2. (1pt) Name two ways industrial microbiologists may chemically modify antibiotics. 3. (1pt) What are the advantages of modifying antibiotics? 4. (1pt) True or False. Actinomycetes are categorized as fungus. 5. (1pt) Define antibiosis. 1 Lab Exercise ISOLATION OF AN ANTIBIOTIC PRODUCER FROM SOIL Soil is the major repository of microorganisms that produce antibiotics capable of inhibiting the growth of other microorganisms. Clinically useful antibiotics have been isolated from several groups of soil microorganisms, including bacteria (Streptomyces sp., Bacillus sp.) and fungi ( Penicillium sp. Cephalosporium sp.). Although many organisms in soil produce antibiotics, only a small portion of new antibiotics is suitable for medical use. Also, industrial microbiology is directing its energies toward chemical modification of existing antibiotic substances. This is accomplished by adding or replacing chemical side chains, by reorganizing intramolecular bonding, or by producing mutant microbial strains capable of excreting a more potent form of the antibiotic. These chemically modified drugs have been responsible for the prevention of antibiotic resistance, minimizing adverse side effects in the host, and increasing the effective spectrum of a given antibiotic. In this experiment, an attempt will be made to isolate antibiotic-producing actinomycetes from soil. These spore forming bacteria are abundant in most soils and account for much of the breakdown of organic matter that occurs there. In fact, the odor of freshly turned soil comes from the volatile compounds these bacteria produce. However, the greatest impact actinomycetes have comes from the ability of some of them to produce antibiotics. Most antibiotics in current use are produced by species of Streptomyces. On an agar plate inoculated with soil, numerous Streptomyces colonies develop. The colonies are easy to recognize by their pastel colors, characteristic texture (a hard mass that extends into the agar), and soil-like odor. Some of the filaments grow into the agar. The rest extend up from the agar and form chains of spores at the tips. The spores give the colony its characteristic pastel color. Although their general growth pattern is fungus-like, actinomycetes are distinctly prokaryotic in size and structure. In cross section an actinomycete mycelium looks like a typical Gram positive bacterial cell. 2 Day 1 – Primary Isolation Unless the organisms in a soil sample are thinned out sufficiently, the isolation of potential antibiotic producers is nearly impossible. As indicated in the diagram, it will be necessary to use a series of six dilution tubes to produce a final soil dilution of 10-6. Procedure Overview 3 Day 1 - continue Materials per group of 2 students: soil sample (will share with bench) 6 test tubes 0.9% sodium chloride (physiological saline) in flask 3 glycerol yeast extract agar plates 6 - 1ml pipets & pump 1 - 10ml pipet & pump bactispreader 95% ethyl alcohol in screw top jar Bunsen burner striker wax pencil spatula Materials for entire class: scale weigh boats vortex scissors parafilm Procedure: 1. Label six test tubes #1 through #6 with a wax pencil. Using a 10ml pipet, dispense 9ml of saline into each tube. 2. Weigh out 1g of soil and deposit it into tube 1. Cover with parafilm. 3. Vortex mix tube 1 until all soil is well dispersed throughout the tube. Mix for at least 1 minute. 4. Make a tenfold dilution from tube 1 through tube 6 by transferring 1ml from tube to tube. Use a fresh pipet for each transfer and be sure to pipet mix thoroughly before each transfer. 5. Label three glycerol yeast extract agar plates with your initials, lab section, and the following dilutions: 1:10,000, 1:100,000, and 1:1,000,000. 6. Transfer 1ml from the soil mixture in tubes 4, 5, and 6 to the appropriate plate. 7. Spread the organisms over the agar using the bactispreader. 8. Incubate the plates at 300C for 5 – 7 days. 4 Day 2 – Colony Selection and Inoculation The objective in this laboratory period will be to select actinomycete colonies that may be antibiotic producers. The organisms will be streaked on TSA plates that have been seeded with Staphylococcus epidermidis. After incubation, students will look for evidence of antibiosis. Antibiosis is an association between two or more organisms that is detrimental to at least one of them. In this experiment, if the soil organism is an antibiotic producer, the growth of S. epidermidis may be inhibited. Fourth period is optional 5 Day 2 – continue Materials per group of 2 students: primary isolation plates from previous lab session 4 TSA deeps 4 sterile petri plates TSB culture of Staphylococcus epidermidis 1 – 1ml pipet pipet pump Bunsen burner striker inoculating needle positive control- culture plate of soil antibiotic producer (see step 8 below) Materials for entire class: hot plate with 500ml beaker half filled with water Procedure 1. Place 4 TSA deeps in boiling water until the agar melts (about 5 minutes). While the agar is melting, go to step 2. 2. Label Petri plates #1 through #4 and with your initials and lab section. Plate 4 will be the positive control. 3. Remove the deeps from the water and allow them to cool until you can comfortably hold the tubes in your hand (about 8-10 minutes). 4. After TSA deeps have cooled, inoculate each one with 1ml of S. epidermidis 5. Pour the contents of each inoculated tube into separate Petri plates. Allow the agar to solidify (about 10 minutes). 6. Examine the three primary isolation plates for the presence of actinomycete colonies. They have a dusty appearance due to the presence of spores. They may be white or colored. Select three different suspect colonies 7. Using a sterile inoculating needle, scrape spores from actinomycete colonies on the primary isolation plates to inoculate the seeded TSA plates labeled #1 through #3 (see diagram on previous page). Use inoculum from a different colony for each of the three plates. 8. Repeat Step 7 using the positive control culture for plate #4. 9. Incubate the plates at 300C until the next laboratory session. 6 Day 3 – Evidence of Antibiosis Students will examine the four plates from the previous laboratory session for evidence of antibiosis (inhibition of S. epidermidis growth) and confirm results. Materials per 2 students: plates from previous laboratory session Procedure: 1. Observe plate for presence of antibiosis (clear zone around actinomycete colony). 2. Record your results in the lab report. 3. Make a smear and simple stain of your soil isolate(s), control, and Streptomyces species. 7 Name____________________________ Section_________________ Introductory Microbiology Lab Report Isolation of an Antibiotic Producer from Soil 1.

Check off each step when completed. Name: Lab Section: Date: Microscope Number: HCC Bring the stage to its lowest level. Click the 4X objective into place. Remove the slide and dispose of appropriately. Wipe prepared slides until ALL oil/dirt is removed (top and bottom). Clean objective lenses with swabs, and, if using oil, liquid lens cleaner. Clean eyepieces with dry swabs. Clean condenser lens with dry swabs. If necessary, clean the stage with a damp Kimwipe. Turn the light switch OFF. Do not move the microscope for a few minutes before putting it away. Do NOT wrap the cord around the base. Fold the cord and secure with velcro. In order to fit back in the microscope cabinet cubicle, the head must be rotated so that the eyepieces are facing away from the stage. Replace the dust cover. Return the microscope to the appropriate location in the cabinet. 9

I think you can install win8 from a usb drive but it was advisable not to try dual boot.link.
Replace your HDD with a cheap one and install win8 via the flash drive would be my advice. It's only an evaluation key you'll get.

I think the link shows how to load to a hard drive from usb. The poster wants to run from usb.At least thats how i read it.
I have not seen that you can not ,or should not,use dual boot - this is dual boot at the moment with win 8 C.R. In my opinion dual boot is the best option with win8 on its own partition or some may prefer virtual drive.

I use VMWare, just for a look-see.
W8 Release Preview was released yesterday.
PC Advisor page here. Dual boot instructions link on right.
RP License Key (valid till Jan 2013 I think) is
Backup your system first if you try for dual boot, just in case.

rdave says "You can't run Win8 from a flash drive" but indeed you can, Windows 8 supports an option called Windows to Go, which allows you to install the OS on a USB drive and carry a bootable version of Windows around in your pocket. All you need to build one is a Windows 7 or Windows 8 machine and an external drive big enough to hold the OS, temporary files, and some basic applications.
Not tried it myself but just google Windows to Go and there are loads of guides, myself I would only try it with USB3 as would think USB2 would be sluggish. Dual boot is another option if you have the space.

VERY unhappy
I am VERY unhappy right now
I finally got mine in the mail after it being 4 days late, and I am rewarded with a very damaged and unuesable plane that I am NOT going to build. If this is how Great Planes' products are going to arrive, they can officially write me off from being a customer forever. And no, it wasn't shipping damage. The box wasn't physically damaged at all. It was 100% manufacturers fault. |

Let me tell you about shipping. My wife ordered some stuff and the shipping company said it was delivered but we could not find it anywhere. We called and they said it was delivered to the porch. We looked more and could not find it. Finally needing to run some errands she drove out of the driveway and found the package tied to a branch hanging near the end of the driveway.

Nice review as always Dave, thanks. Was staring at one of these at my LHS a couple of months ago when they first hit the shelves but opted to hold off until I saw something on the forum, as it looked a little brittle for my style of flying (bit challenged at times) but I really liked the size (bigger flies better). Think I'll snag one next time the opportunity presents itself.
Any tips on what to do with the bottom of the fuse if you decide to remove the landing gear? Appreciate the effort and candid-ness you put in! Greg |

Dave What kind of transport company will survive in the current financial crunch doing business like that. That delivery person should get the boot. I know Brown (UPS) has a time table they force their driver to follow and many times that table doesn't consider traffic or customers asking questions. I will pick a fight, let me at em....

Greg, get a roll of wide stripping tape the fibered stuff and lay down a long band. That should do it. I have been flying on the grass with mine and have not had any problems though with the gear as the grass is getting thinner as we get towards fall and winter. They do protect the nose.
John you are a good guesser. Brown is the winner. |

Perfect, thanks Dave. I was thinking maybe some 1/4oz fg cloth, used that to reinforce the landing gear area on my parkmaster and worked good, worried about weight on this one, that and it might not look as good! Thanks again and keep the reviews coming!

I hate rules, but there's one I like, namely the ban on cell-phone use while driving. It's a long way from universal state to state, but New York has just gotten very tough indeed on truck-driver use of cellular tools, and that's fine by me.

Used to be, when a driver's rig stopped dead in its tracks, that driver was in for some serious downtime. He had to put out the cones, lock up the cab, then walk or hitch a ride to the nearest pay phone.Then, seemingly overnight, the cell phone arrived, an invention that could turn a daylong nightmare into a few hours of inconvenience.

For romantic, you could go French (I'm having Bridesmaids flashbacks, though) and serve quiche, radishes with cultured butter and fleur de del, good baguettes, a selection of gooey French cheeses (stink=good), and individual seasonal fruit galettes or chocolate truffles.
Champagne and strawberries. Oysters on the half shell with a pink pomegranate mache salad.
Strawberry zabaglione
Steam lobster tail over risotto is another possibility.
Or a paste with shrimp and tender vegetables. (I think Italian food is incredibly romantic!)
This is an incredible fondue from hardlikearmour http://food52.com/recipes...
Fondues are romantic!
Definitely champagne as mentioned above (spring for the good stuff). Poached salmon fiilet with some kind of light sauce on the side with choice of filet of beef. Individual timbales of an asparagus purée. Mini croissants or mini popovers with raspberry whipped butter. Chocolate truffles, tiny butter cookies, and chocolate-dipped strawberries for dessert.

text: News from the website of DrConcannon.com and DrVitale.com. This medical information is designed as an aid only for the patients of Drs. Concannon & Vitale. It is not a substitute for a medical exam and direct advice from your physician. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (Short Attention Span) Also called ADD, ADHD, or hyperactivity, a short attention span occurs in 3 percent to 5 percent of children, most of them males. A normal attention span is 3 to 5 minutes per year of a child's age. Therefore, a 2-year-old should be able to concentrate on a particular task for at least 6 minutes, and a child entering kindergarten should be able to concentrate for at least 15 minutes. (Note: A child's attention span while watching TV is not an accurate measure of his or her attention span.) If you suspect that your child has a short attention span, ask another adult (a teacher or day care provider, for example) if they have observed this also. ADHD is characterized by a child that hasn't learned to listen when someone talks, wait his turn, complete a task, or return to a task if interrupted. These can be normal characteristics of children less than 3 or 4 years old. Of children with ADHD, 80 percent of boys and perhaps 50 percent of girls are also hyperactive. A child who has symptoms of hyperactivity is restless, impulsive, and in a hurry. 50 percent of these children also have a learning disability. The most common learning disability is an auditory processing deficit (that is, they have difficulty remembering verbal directions). However, the intelligence of most children with ADHD is usually normal, even above normal. Disruptive children, children who don't mind, and aggressive children are sometimes included under the broad category of hyperactivity. Many problem 2-year olds are considered "hyperactive." These children should be looked upon as children with behavior problems and approached with appropriate discipline techniques. Attention deficit disorder is the most common developmental disability. "Developmental" means that the disability is caused by delayed brain development (immaturity). This delay results in poor self-control, requiring external controls by the parents for a longer period of time. Often this type of temperament and short attention span is hereditary. A small percentage of children with ADHD are reacting to chaotic home environments, but in most cases the parents' style of child- rearing has not caused the disability. Minor brain damage has not been proven to be a cause of ADHD Children with ADHD on a developmental basis can improve significantly if parents and teachers provide understanding and direction and preserve the child's self-esteem. When these children become adults, many of them have good attention spans but remain restless, have to keep busy, and, in a sense, have not entirely outgrown the problem. However, not only does society learn to tolerate such traits in adults, but in some settings the person with endless energy is prized. ADHD is a chronic condition that needs special parenting and school intervention. If your child seems to have a poor attention span and is over 3 years of age, these recommendations may assist you in helping your child. Your main obligations involve organizing your child's home life and improving discipline. Only after your child's behavior has improved will you know for certain if your child also has a short attention span. If he does, specific interventions to help him learn to listen and complete tasks ("stretch" his attention span) can be initiated. Even though you can't be sure about poor attention span until your child is 3 or 4 years of age, you can detect and improve behavior problems at a younger age. A. Accept your child's limitations. Accept the fact that your child is intrinsically active and energetic and possibly always will be. The hyperactivity is not intentional. Don't expect to eliminate the hyperactivity but merely to bring it under reasonable control. Any criticism or other attempt to change an energetic child into a quiet or model child will cause more harm than good. Nothing helps a hyperactive child more than having a tolerant, patient, low-keyed parent. B. Provide an outlet for the release of excess energy. This energy can't be bottled up and stored. Daily outdoor activities such as running, sports, and long walks are good outlets. A fenced yard helps. In bad weather your child needs a recreational room where he can play as he pleases with minimal restrictions and supervision. If no large room is available, a garage will sometimes suffice. Your child should not have too many toys, for this can cause him to be more easily distracted from playing with any one toy. The toys should be safe and relatively unbreakable. Encourage your child to play with one toy at a time. C. Although the expression of hyperactivity is allowed in these ways, it should not be needlessly encouraged. Don't initiate roughhousing with your child. Forbid siblings to say, "Chase me, chase me," or to instigate other noisy play. Encouraging hyperactive behavior can lead to its becoming your child's main style of interacting with people. D. Keep your home well organized. Household routines help the hyperactive child to accept order. Keep the times for wake-up, meals, snacks, chores, naps, and bed as regular as possible. Try to keep your environment relatively quiet because this encourages thinking and listening. In general, leave the radio and TV off. Predictable daily events help your child's responses become more predictable. E. Try not to let your child become fatigued. When a hyperactive child becomes exhausted, his self-control often breaks down and the hyperactivity becomes worse. Try to have your child sleep or rest when he is fatigued. If he can't seem to "turn off his motor," hold and rock him in a rocking chair. F. Avoid taking your child to formal gatherings. Except for special occasions, avoid places where hyperactivity would be extremely inappropriate and embarrassing (such as churches or restaurants). You also may wish to reduce the number of times your child goes with you to stores and supermarkets. After your child develops adequate self-control at home, he can gradually be introduced to these situations. Be sure to praise your child when he plays independently rather than interrupting you when you are talking to guests or are on the telephone. (Continued) G. Maintain firm discipline. These children are unquestionably difficult to manage. They need more carefully planned discipline than the average child. Rules should be formulated mainly to prevent harm to your child and to others. Aggressive behavior, such as biting, hitting, and pushing, should be no more accepted in the hyperactive child than in the normal child. Try to eliminate such aggressive behaviors, but avoid unnecessary or unattainable rules; that is, don't expect your child to keep his hands and feet still. Hyperactive children tolerate fewer rules than the normal child. Enforce a few clear, consistent, important rules and add other rules at your child's pace. Avoid constant negative comments like "Don't do this," and "Stop that." H. Enforce rules with nonphysical punishment. Physical punishment suggests to your child that physically aggressive behavior is OK. We want to teach hyperactive children to be less aggressive. Your child needs adult models of control and calmness. Try to use a friendly, matter-of-fact tone of voice when you discipline your child. If you yell, your child will be quick to imitate you. Punish your child for misbehavior immediately. When your child breaks a rule, isolate him in a chair or time-out room if a show of disapproval doesn't work. The time-out should last about 1 minute per year of your child's age. Without a time-out system, overall success is unlikely. I. Stretch your child's attention span. Encouraging attentive (non hyperactive) behavior is the key to preparing your child for school. Increased attention span and persistence with tasks can be taught at home. Don't wait until your child is of school age and expect the teacher to change him. By age 5 he needs at least a 25-minute attention span to perform adequately in school. 1. Set aside several brief periods each day to teach your child listening skills by reading to him. Start with picture books, and gradually progress to reading stories. Coloring pictures can be encouraged and praised. Teach games to your child, gradually increasing the difficulty by starting with building blocks and progressing to puzzles, dominoes, card games, and dice games. Matching pictures is an excellent way to build your child's memory and concentration span. Later, consequence games such as checkers or tic-tac-toe can be introduced. When your child becomes restless, stop and return for another session later. Praise your child for attentive behavior. This process is slow but invaluable in preparing your child for school. J. Buffer your child against any overreaction by neighbors. Ask neighbors with whom your child has contact to be helpers. If your child is labeled by some adults as a "bad" kid, it is important that this image of your child doesn't carry over into your home life. At home the attitude that must prevail is that your child is a good child with excess energy. It is extremely important that you not give up on him. Your child must always feel loved and accepted within the family. As long as a child has this acceptance, his self-esteem will survive. If your child has trouble doing well in school, help him gain a sense of success through a hobby in an area of strength. K. From time to time, get away from it all. Exposure to some of these children for 24 hours a day would make anyone a wreck. Periodic breaks help parents to tolerate hyperactive behavior. If just the father works outside the home, he should try to look after the child when he comes home, not only to give his wife a deserved break but also to understand better what she must contend with during the day. A babysitter one afternoon each week and an occasional evening out can provide much-needed breaks for an exhausted mother. Preschool is another helpful option. Parents need a chance to rejuvenate themselves so that they can continue to meet their child's extra needs. L. Utilize special programs at school. Try to start your child in preschool by age 3 to help him learn to organize his thoughts and develop his ability to focus. However, you might consider enrolling your child in kindergarten a year later (that is, at age 6 rather than 5) because the added maturity may help him fit in better with his classmates. Once your child enters grade school, the school is responsible for providing appropriate programs for your child's attention deficit disorder and any learning disability he might have. Some standard approaches that teachers use to help children with ADHD are smaller class size, isolated study space, spaced learning techniques, and inclusion of the child in tasks like erasing the blackboard or passing out books (as outlets for excessive energy). Many of these children spend part of their day with a teacher specializing in learning disabilities who helps improve their skills and confidence. If you think your child has ADHD and he has not been tested by the school's special education team, you can request an evaluation. Usually you can obtain the help your child needs with schoolwork by working closely with the school staff through parent- teacher conferences and special meetings. Your main job is to continue to help your child improve his attention span, self-discipline, and friendships at home. M. Medications are sometimes helpful. Some stimulant drugs can improve a child's ability to concentrate. You may want to discuss the use of such medicines with your child's physician. In general, medications should not be prescribed before school age. They should also not be prescribed until after your child has been evaluated by a doctor and you have followed the suggestions we have given you. Medications need to be part of a broader treatment program. N. Beware of things that don't work. Frustrated parents can blow a lot of time and money on snake-oil remedies in an attempt to solve the problem 'naturally', or to avoid placing their child on 'drugs'. Behavioral optometry (special glasses), electrical stimulus therapy, herbs (such as St. John's Wort), special diets, food supplements (such as Focus Factor) or vitamins simply do not work, may have side effects of their own, and merely add to your child's frustration Rev 03/2010 ADHD.doc Back to Home Page | Back to Library

Journalism, he concluded, "has been asleep at the switches," because the Net is "not simply a story about technology, but it's a revolutionary change in the society and culture." As a result, journalism "is in the sad position of

The Rochester Butterfly Club is an independent club formed to promote the study of butterflies in Western New York. We focus on butterfly watching, habitat, environment, life cycles, education, and reporting our findings.
Field Trips
One of the best ways to learn about butterflies and where to find them is to go on a field trip with experienced leaders who will share their knowledge with you. Each year the Rochester Butterfly Club organizes at least 15 guided field trips to prime butterfly spots in the local area, including some members' gardens. These trips take place on both weekdays and weekends. The trips are listed in our annual schedule sent out to members in the spring. We are always pleased to welcome non-members on our trips. You need only to show up at our butterfly walks as announced in the printed schedule. If you have them, bring a pair of binoculars and a butterfly identification book. (If you don't have a book of your own, try your local library.)
Members receive our newsletter "Butterly News," which is published 3 times a year. It includes a variety of articles and topical information about our local butterflies.
If you would like to become a member of the Rochester Butterfly Club, an application can be found here.

2014 FIELD TRIPS and
Our field trips are free and will take place rain or shine, but not during thunder storms. On cloudy or showery days, we will have a general nature walk, and look for caterpillars, hiding butterflies and plants that butterflies use. With luck the sun will come out and with it, the butterflies.
Our morning field trips last about 2 hours. Some trips have an option to continue into the afternoon, and others are all day trips, returning some time after 4p.m. Bring a cold drink and for the longer trips, your lunch and folding chair.
***** Long pants and appropriate footgear are strongly recommended, as there is often poison ivy *****
We have provided contact numbers (all area code 585) in case you would like more information about a field trip. For most of our field trips, just come along to the meeting place listed. Also for most of our field trips, an alternate meeting place may usually be arranged, if needed, via one of the contact numbers. A few field trips do require pre-registration, as noted.
Please bring close focusing binoculars, a field guide and your camera, but leave your butterfly nets at home, because they can injure wings, legs and antennae.
Non-members, beginners and children accompanied by an adult are welcome at all of our activities.
During recent years there have been deer ticks in the area and cases of Lyme disease contracted here. Because of this, we recommend you wear long pants tucked into socks, and use insect repellent.

Outfielders I have no faith in
I was asked a few times back in March why I ranked players I had no interest in drafting or trading for in a particular spot. My answer generally was that just because I rank someone somewhere, it doesn't mean I have to draft said player in said spot. I'm an instinctive drafter, and one day, I might choose Mark Teixeira over Lance Berkman. The next day, who knows?
Anyway, someone with plenty of time on his hands studied a mock draft I was in and noticed I didn't follow my own rankings when it came to certain players. I passed on Johan Santana in the first round of one league, reached on a catcher in another, and, when it came to my third outfielder in yet another league, I disregarded a certain struggling Los Angeles Dodgers center fielder to take a shot on that other, younger Upton brother. I admit, it seems odd and very unlike me to choose uncertainty over veteran consistency. Of course, I have no complaints now!
So in that league, we got to the draft, and essentially, Round 1 was really Round 13, since we all had kept 12 players. Some of the keeper picks were a bit odd, but everyone can think what they want to think. People started wondering aloud, "Who is the pathetic owner who let Jones go?" Jones was a clear first-rounder in this draft, but I wasn't going to retake him with my pick. In fact, I didn't get the chance. He went just before me. That owner figured Jones couldn't be as bad as he was in 2007, right? He said later he had felt like he had no choice but to grab Jones there. Jones, a player who smacked 92 home runs from 2005 to 2006. He's 31. He easily could bounce back from a wretched contract season, right?
But he hasn't. And unlike some of the top strugglers so far, I don't think Jones is going to bounce back. Oh, sure, he'll hit some home runs and knock in some runs, but so will Richie Sexson. There's a reason Joe Torre batted his center fielder eighth the other day. Jones was his worst hitter in the lineup that day, save for the pitcher.
And I wouldn't trade for Jones, because again, I don't think things are going to get much better. He's hitting .159 with a token home run he mashed at Atlanta. That's it. He batted second Wednesday, in an effort to get him better pitches, I suppose, and he raised his average three points by getting one single in five at-bats. You could call it a bad start and I wouldn't disagree, but at what point is a bad start just, well, the real deal? His swing looks long, slow and robotic. His home park isn't exactly friendly to the long ball. The Dodgers have three other outfielders worthy of everyday play. Jones might not be.
Outfield isn't nearly as deep as it used to be in fantasy, which is why I made sure to get a few good outfielders in all my leagues. In past seasons, I concentrated more on middle infield. But really, how many new outfielders are just pouncing onto the scene? I've got Eric Hinske on a few teams. Could it be that he's one of the top undrafted outfielders in fantasy? How sad. Column for another day.
Anyway, Jones is done, and I'm pleased I don't have to deal with him in any league, at least as far as I know. If someone offers me Jones for Cla Meredith, for example, I might have to consider it, but the last thing a fantasy team needs is someone who probably will end up being a .220 hitter with moderate power. Every baseball player has value attached to him, and some of the players below are going to get better this season, but I'm still not interested in dealing for them. It either would cost too much or, after owning them for a month, I would just want to move them to someone else.
Jack Cust, A's: I knew his batting average would hurt my teams, but I thought he'd find a way to get more than two or three hits per week. Cust is the ultimate three true outcomes guy, meaning most of his plate appearances end up with a home run, walk or strikeout, but he has just one homer, and that came in the third game this season. I wonder how much longer the A's, as powerless as they are, will keep playing Cust or even employing him. They just re-signedFrank Thomas to be the DH, so if Cust is to play, it'll be in the outfield. All that said, Cust still could hit 25 home runs, but he can't wait much longer to start hitting, and if I want him on my team, chances are he's a free agent in leagues now.
Always looking for that extra piece of fantasy insight? We've got you covered. ESPN Fantasy experts Matthew Berry and Nate Ravitz provide you with all the fantasy strategy you'll need: Listen to the Fantasy Focus Podcast |
Wily Mo Pena, Nationals: I'm really not sure why people think Pena is going to suddenly become a monster power hitter. Sure, he can produce tape-measure shots when he makes contact, but every time I watch him at the plate, it seems like a pitcher is fooling him with off-speed stuff. Elijah Dukes, who can't replace Pena until he comes off the DL and proves he's better, is better. He has some plate discipline and 20-homer power, and he steals bases. Pena does have power, there's no doubt, but even if healthy, I think the Nationals will realize that's not enough.
Luke Scott, Orioles: One of my sleeper picks from March, Scott got off to a nice start in batting average, but that's not why I drafted him. We need 25 home runs. I have doubts Scott can keep his average over .300 much longer, so unless he turns some of those doubles he's hitting into homers, he's not going to help fantasy owners much. Scott has scored six runs in 19 games, a woefully low number that speaks to the lack of run producers at the bottom of the Baltimore lineup. I don't think things are going to improve much. From watching Scott so far, I feel like I'm watching Mark Teahen. Where's the power?
Use the new Trading Block link on your fantasy baseball team page to communicate your trade desires with other owners in your league! |
Jason Kubel, Twins: Another popular corner outfielder in fantasy circles because so many people think the power is about to blossom, but watch Kubel play and you might think different. It's a shame, really, because if you watched this guy perform before he badly ruined his left knee in the Arizona Fall League in 2004, he looked like a future star. I watched him play at Double-A New Britain, where many young Twins were being showcased, and he was an exciting player with speed, power and plate discipline. Kubel still isn't all the way back. He has a few home runs so far, but he doesn't work counts at all and gives away too many at-bats, especially against left-handed pitching. He no longer possesses speed, and the Twins don't seem to want to play him in the outfield. Michael Cuddyer should return to right field soon, and Kubel will go back to playing some, but not all the time, and that's with Craig Monroe being the main obstacle to playing.
