Book Review: Recently released Minnesota books
I was impressed, as I was last year, by the number of fine books of regional interest being published and I made promises to more than a couple authors and their publishers that I would review their books in the Journal. So here goes:
Painting the Dakota, Seth Eastman at Fort Snelling, by Marybeth Lorbiecki, Afton Historical Society Press.
A West Point graduate, Seth Eastman was a 19th century career army officer, who also happened to be an accomplished painter. In 1830 Eastman was stationed at Fort Snelling, which at the time, was the westernmost outpost in the country. Eastman started sketching the surrounding countryside paying particular attention to the customs and activities of the Dakota and the Ojibwe Indians of the area.
Eastman left Minnesota two years later for other assignments but returned to Fort Snelling in 1841 as Post Commander. By then he also had a reputation as one of America�s best landscape artists.
In Painting the Dakota, Marybeth Lorbiecki tells the engaging story of how Eastman juggled the two unlikely career pursuits of soldiering and painting. Her stories of the daily rhythms of the Dakota - their celebrations and games, their hunting and fishing practices and more - compliment the vivid images of Eastman�s watercolors.
These paintings along with Lorbiecki�s narrative are a powerful testament to an extinct way of life and a part of Minnesota�s history, that sadly, we know too little about.
Minnesota in the Civil War, An Illustrated History, by Kenneth Carley, Minnesota State Historical Press.
On July 2, 1863, a regiment of soldiers from the First Minnesota made a charge against Confederate lines at the Battle of Gettysburg. Author Kenneth Carley describes the men as, "way-worn and foot sore. . . weather-beaten, soil-stained, dirty and ragged from weeks of tramping and camping in heat and in dust, in rain and in mud . . ." Of the 262 Minnesotans who charged on that hot July day, only 47 of them came through unscathed. All told, the First Minnesota casualties amounted to 82 percent of their number killed or wounded.
"(We) got the worst cutting up we ever had - but not as is usually the case - without any satisfaction. To tell you the truth we did whip the Rebs handsomely," Edward Walker, a Minnesota soldier, wrote to a friend after the battle.
Minnesotans fought in every theatre of the war and in most of its famous battles, from Bull Run to Antietam to the siege of Vicksburg and Sherman�s march to the sea. This well-illustrated volume of Minnesota�s participation in the war brings together an impressive collection of rarely-seen photographs, diary entries, letters and first-hand accounts. The men of this human drama, America�s greatest and most tragic bloodletting, speak of their sacrifices and their losses, their fears and their compassion. One hundred forty years later, their words still resonate with heartfelt power and emotion in this monumental book.
The book closes with the words of Albert Woodson, of Duluth, who was the very last Union Civil War veteran to die in 1956, at the age of 109. Woodson is quoted as saying, "We were fighting our brothers. In that there was no glory."
The Night the Fitz Went Down, by Hugh E. Bishop, Lake Superior Port Cities, Inc.
It was a stormy night on Lake Superior on November 10, 1975, when the 729 foot-freighter SS Edmund Fitzgerald, hauling a load of iron ore, went down taking with her a crew of 29 men. Ever since legends and theories have abounded as to what happened on that fateful night. Did she go down because of a stress fracture to the hull or was she overloaded? Did leaking hatchways allow water from the heavy waves into her cargo area? Another theory refers to a Lake Superior phenomenon known as the "Three Sisters", a series of monster waves that can hit a ship and disable her with a deadly combination force.
In this richly detailed book, author Hugh Bishop revisits the awesome November storm through the eyes of Captain Dudley Paquette, who was navigating another freighter on the lake that night. Paquette was a seasoned shipmaster and veteran of many Lake Superior storms and his observations and theories of what went wrong the night the Fitz went down make for a compelling and extremely readable story.
Lost Minnesota, Stories of Vanished Places, by Jack El-Hai, University of Minnesota Press
As its title suggests, this book is a history of Minnesota places that no longer exist. From stately 19th century mansions to funky looking round barns to the old Metropolitan Stadium, author Jack El-Hai�s tour through Minnesota�s architectural past is a delight. The old adage that every picture (and building) tells a story is certainly evident in this fascinating and entertaining book.

SPEEA technical workers seek more talks with Boeing
The Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace reached out to federal mediators Wednesday to request a new round of contract talks with Boeing. The move came a day after technical workers voted down the company's contract by a margin of 3,203 to 2,868. The technical workers also gave the OK for SPEEA negotiators to call a strike, if necessary.
For the moment, though, union leaders are focused on resuming negotiations with Boeing rather than striking, Bill Dugovich, SPEEA's communications director, said Wednesday. Talks aren't likely to be scheduled until next week.
The 15,500 Boeing engineers also represented by SPEEA voted Tuesday to accept their contract by a margin of 6,483 to 5,514. SPEEA negotiates for both groups at the same time, though engineers and technical workers have separate contracts.
The threat of a strike by the union has a "different impact" now that the engineers wouldn't be eligible to participate, Dugovich said. Still, a work stoppage by technical workers would affect Boeing's operations, he said.
"Technical workers have very significant roles interfacing between engineers and the shop floor," he said. "A strike would certainly slow production for Boeing."
SPEEA said Wednesday it plans to conduct a telephone survey of technical workers to understand member priorities as union officials gear up to resume talks.
Boeing already is under pressure to solve battery troubles that have grounded the 787 Dreamliner. On Wednesday, sources told The Associated Press that Ray Conner, president of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, will present potential solutions Friday to the Federal Aviation Administration.
Late Tuesday, Boeing said it was "deeply disappointed" SPEEA's technical workers rejected the contract. Conner noted the importance of moving new SPEEA members to a 401(k) retirement plan to stay competitive. The switch away from a defined pension, which SPEEA says has more value for members, had been a major sticking point in negotiations.
Boeing spokesman Doug Alder said Wednesday that the company's position on the pension hasn't changed. Still, he said, the company, which is legally obligated to return to negotiation, is optimistic about reaching an agreement with the technical workers.
Alder declined to comment on how a strike by the technical workers would affect Boeing operations. However, he said, the company has contingency plans.
In the case of a strike, SPEEA's Dugovich indicated that while engineers can't strike, they could keep pressure on the company to yield to the technical workers' demands.
"The company has to deal with the fact that a significant number of the workforce is not happy," he said.
Labor unrest in Washington's aerospace industry was on the mind of Gov. Jay Inslee, who voiced concern late Tuesday about the split SPEEA vote. The governor said he has reached out to both parties to encourage them to resume negotiations.
"We cannot overstate the importance of the aerospace industry to the economy of Washington," Inslee said. "There are more than 131,000 employees in aerospace-related companies working across the state, the vast majority of which are directly reliant on the Boeing Co."

Sparkling AT&T Park hosts the Nationals for a three-game series beginning tonight.
As team executives huddled up in their draft war room in Washington tonight, the Nationals themselves are 3,000 miles away, ready to open a three-game series with the Giants in San Francisco.
The challenge in the series opener (Tim Lincecum) is daunting, but the Nats have actually enjoyed success against the ace. Washington has won its last three head-to-head match-ups with Lincecum, with the right-hander actually taking the loss the last two times (including April 29 in the District).
John Lannan starts for the Nationals, and though he's pitched well against the Giants in two previous encounters (1.98 ERA over 13 2/3 innings) he's yet to earn a win. The lefty has been the victim of poor run support — he took a 2-1 loss to Jonathan Sanchez on April 30.
I won't be making the rest of this West Coast trip, but I'll have full draft coverage here tonight, so check back for that and then enjoy the late-night game in San Francisco…

- Anonymous - Jun 7, 2011 at 2:48 AM
If Morse is gonna hit the inside pitch out of the park, then pitchers are in deep trouble. That has been his weak spot, and if he can adjust to turn on a fastball from *Lincecum*, then the rest of the league had better watch out . . .
- Gonat - Jun 7, 2011 at 2:51 AM
Great play by Desi. He must of thought Adam LaRoche was playing at 1st!!!
- baseballswami - Jun 7, 2011 at 2:54 AM
On a non-baseballish note – did you see that everyone is bundled up in hoodies – it's like 50 degrees out there. I thought MM could only hit when it was hot outside. Quite a switch from Arizona. Nice to see that Lannan survived the first and the nats got a hit, and on the scoreboard early. And the giants thought THEIR offense was torture last year. Although, I like it when I hear commentators talking about how highly ranked our defense is. Can we have it all please, please?
- Joe Seamhead - Jun 7, 2011 at 2:58 AM
Did you just see that pick by Morse of Desmond's bounce? Can we all agree that Rizzo made the right move in letting Adam Dunn go? I don't think anyone saw MM playing first, much less playing this caliber. And spring training isn't looking like quite the aberration that some folks were thinking a month ago,eh?

So, Lincecum has faced 11 hitters and had ONE putout. Everything else is a K, a BB or a hit. Crash Davis would call the Freak a fascist.

Michael Morse again! The Giants already got someone up in the pen.

- AW in Manassas - Jun 7, 2011 at 3:12 AM
MORSE!!!!! 4 runs off Lincecum so far! Unrelated – F.P. referred to a hit and then a pitch as a "cookie". I think he's going back to the press buffet to look for a snack between innings.
- dj in Fl. - Jun 7, 2011 at 3:14 AM
Walks even come back to bite strikeout kings on the backside. He must feel about facing the Nats, like Lannan feels about facing Philly.69 pitches through 3, amazing.

I just read this in SI on the 17th pick by the Angels.17 C.J. Cron 1B Utah 6-4 225 Son of former big leaguer Chris Cron, C.J. Cron is a massive, powerfully built 1B along the lines of an Adam Dunn. Cron is a slow runner and his throwing and fielding tools all indicate a future as a DH or 1B. Perhaps the premier power hitter in the 2011 draft, the right-handed hitting Cron has enjoyed a spectacular 2011 season despite the mandated usage of the dreaded BBCOR bats. One dimensional players with tremendous power can hang on in the majors for a long time (i.e. Matt Stairs), so look for Cron to be a big league power hitter for many years.Rizzo passed on him.
- Gonat - Jun 7, 2011 at 3:43 AM
dj in FL, perfect for the Angels in the American League.
- Anonymous8 - Jun 7, 2011 at 3:47 AM
dj, are you suggesting that with the #6 pick Rizzo should have chosen Cron? Not sure your point as Cron was gone by pick #23.
- Joe Seamhead - Jun 7, 2011 at 3:51 AM
dj in Fl, Cron sounds like another Steve"Bye-Bye" Balboni.

Wow, Lincecum out of the game! Who saw that coming in the 5th!Cruises through the 1st and then goes on to get strikeout 1,000 after the Morse solo. That walk to Lannan put him in a tail spin.
- sjm308 - Jun 7, 2011 at 4:04 AM
Love how the anons start in immediately on LannEn even though he worked out of a tough inning. Look at his last 3 games folks, he is never going to be a #1-2-3 starter but he can be an excellent #4-5. It was weeks ago that natsjack pointed out how most negative comments were by the various anons but I don't see much here in the middle of the 5th. We can still lose the game (that is the beauty of baseball) but I really like how we have been playing lately. I saw a stat that shows since April 29 we have the best defensive stats in the majors. What an amazing turnaround. Now if we can just start to hit. On the draft, I am wondering how a 6 9" kid with heat can only have a 7-5 record? I realize this is a strength with Rizzo and our staff so I can't wait to see who else falls into our laps. We got a starting pitcher, a 5 tool centerfielder, and perhaps the best hitter in the draft. Nice start.Go Nats!!
- dj in Fl. - Jun 7, 2011 at 4:17 AM
hey sjm308,Levo can explain about good efforts going for naught.It is nice when the nagative annons go to bed early. Sorry Mark isn't with us for an excellently played game so far.
- Grandstander - Jun 7, 2011 at 4:25 AM
Assuming this 3 run lead holds, what of Storen? He's been horrific lately and that save opportunity in Arizona might have taken him out for today. They can pass it off as giving him rest, but who comes in for the save? Coffey in the 8th Clipp in the 9th? Very interested to see how Riggs works the pen here.
- Les in NC - Jun 7, 2011 at 4:26 AM
I like LannEn as much as the next Nat fan, but please take hi mout before he ruins this good game so far….

Glad to see just a quick pep talk from Riggs, and let Lannan finish his night off properly.
- Grandstander - Jun 7, 2011 at 4:52 AM
Cardiac Nats strike again! Clippard and Storen are unavailable. It's going to be up to HRod and Kimbell at this point.
- Anonymous - Jun 7, 2011 at 4:52 AM
Trying to showcase Pudge and Coffey has not turned out well. I mean really…is there ANY other reason Clippard isn't in there?
- Anonymous - Jun 7, 2011 at 5:01 AM
This isn't on Coffey its on Hairston. Riggleman again managing with sentiment instead of his "amazing" baseball acumen. That first double probably doesn't happen if he puts Cora in at third instead of Hairston. It definitely doesn't happen with Zimmerman. So, what's he do again? Its all about sentiment not "smart ball". Ankiel, he of zero bat, in center. Nix out of the game and the score is tied. And you ask why Riggleman has the worst winning percentage in the modern history of baseball? There ya go. Leave Nix in and take Hairston out is the right double-switch move. Hairston is a terribly inconsistent third baseman.
- Grandstander - Jun 7, 2011 at 5:01 AM
This team's total inability to hit against relief pitching will cost them another game. Pathetic.

Rizzo passed on him.@dj in fla,The Nats are a National League team. There IS NO DH. As we can see tonight fielding is important? Hairston lost this game because he is a terrible third baseman. Cron sounds to me like another Michael Burgess. Another Chris Marerro. Not for an NL team.
- Anonymous - Jun 7, 2011 at 5:11 AM
Wondering what Hairston's UZR is at third base?Again, Riggleman should have just started the 8th with H-Rod? I thought he said H-Rod was his 8th inning guy now? Sheesh the guy can never do anything without some bizarre sentimental move that ends up with the Nats losing.
- Anonymous - Jun 7, 2011 at 5:15 AM
Crap. H-Rod is wild. The pressure is too much.
- Grandstander - Jun 7, 2011 at 5:16 AM
Here's the unwritten story of this game. If Marquis doesn't get thrown out so early yesterday, Clippard's arm is saved and HRod doesn't come in there. That stupid ejection likely cost us this game.
- Anonymous - Jun 7, 2011 at 5:18 AM
Cora should be playing third base not Hairston. Hairston should be DFA'ed because I think Bixer would be better over there.
- Grandstander - Jun 7, 2011 at 5:21 AM
How many outs can JH2 cost us before we get rid of him? Seriously. Let's make a pool.

We can only hope they can Upton and it doesn't cost Rizzo literally the farm … then the bench should also significantly change. Ankiel won't be coming in to replace Upton. Zim will be back so no Hairston at third. And Hairston won't be needed in the outfield … so …
- Grandstander - Jun 7, 2011 at 5:33 AM
Perhaps we should start a "Buy Jayson Werth Contact Lens" Facebook page. If Bryce can afford them, surely Jayson can.
- Anonymous - Jun 7, 2011 at 5:34 AM
Werth and Ankiel "the wonderful veterans" looking really pretty bad right now … one is starting to look really pathetic at the plate but at least has a high OBP and hopefully will be effective batting 2nd … and the other is completely and totally lost at the plate per the back of his baseball card. Its futile to put a bat in his hand.

Better hope Pudge doesn't get hurt, because we just wasted Ramos. If Stairs were a real player — able to field, run and hit — we'd still have Ramos available.

Dang. Unhappy game results email. Did Stammen warm up sufficiently? He's been starting in Syracuse rather than coming out of the 'pen, right? On the plus side, sounds like LannEn may be getting it together.
- Manassas Nats Fan - Jun 7, 2011 at 11:50 AM
I went to bed 4-0, Lannen in total control. Wake up to see the bullpen for the second consecutive day imploded. Once in a while things happen, but 2 straight days, it is now a concern. Giants bullpen gives up almost nothing. Our starting pitching for the most part is good enough to win, the rest of team needs to up their game to the same level.

Back out the door with 3 hours sleep. Stammen walked the backup catcher on 4 pitches. Then he got lucky that the pitcher sacrificed to get an out. The gave up the winning hit. Oh well.Was hoping that this Craig Stammen opportunity would be different. Werth, Nix, Pudge, and Ankiel all came up with opportunities all game long and did nothing. Werth looked lost at the plate.

No brainer here Henry Rodriguez is not a major league pitcher. He just can't throw strikes. That's why the Nats lost tonight.
- Ernie - Jun 7, 2011 at 12:46 PM
Didn't someone point out the other day that we shouldn't get too excited that Stammen got the call to replace Slaten because he is, after all, still Craig Stammen? I really thought we got rid of this joker last year, but I guess I had him mixed up with Scott Olsen. There is a pool of pitchers that I lump together and get mixed up due to general mediocrity: Stammen, Olsen, Mock, Chico, Detwiler. Seeing those names year after year makes me feel like we're making little progress. We can beat the Giants. That's what makes the loss so frustrating.

Bright side?1. We ALMOST beat Lincecum!2. Nicely pitched game by LannEn. If he keeps this up, we can make him a no 4/5.3. Stairs got a hit (heh heh). (If Rizzo doesn't get rid of him, we can at least make the most of the situational comedy).4. GREAT DRAFT!!!!!!!5. Zimmerman's almost back. If its me at GM, I let Zimmerman recuperate at 1st base and put Morse at 3rd/OF. It was just painful to watch them intentionally walk Werth with runners on 2nd/3rd to get to easy out Ankiel. Painful.

HRod's walk was bad enough, but how the heck do you walk a guy on 4 pitches in the 13th? Stammen just sucks.

Chester gains ice skating rink
Almanor Recreation and Park District (ARPD) recently announced its plan to offer ice-skating activities at the Truman Collins Sports Complex between Dec. 11 and mid-February.
Weather dependent (frozen ice required), the skating rink will operate from 4 – 8 p.m. daily, seven days a week as an official Winterfest activity.
More familiarly known as the field where Little League and soccer teams play, the temporary skating rink will be located on the district's adjoining parking lot, on Meadowbrook Loop.
Board member and co-organizer Wes Maston said this is not the first time Chester has had this type of recreational opportunity.
"Ice-skating was done for about two years in a row, about 25 years ago," Maston said.
He also said, "It was done by motivated citizens on the basketball court in the Chester Park."
It was discontinued when one of the main motivated citizens moved from the area.
Chester Elementary School teacher Pam Birdsall, who was one of those motivated volunteers, remembered, "The rest of us folks worked and couldn't devote the time to continue the ice rink."
Maston said ARPD would like to sponsor ice skating every year as a recreation and as a district fundraiser.
The cost to skate will be $5 for individuals and $10 for a family ticket. Skating will be free Christmas and New Year's Day.
"All events put on by ARPD are fundraisers as the district relies on user fees to survive," Maston said.
ARPD is an unfunded special district, formed in 2000 after 75 percent of Basin voters approved the district's formation.
As a fundraiser within the fundraiser, Maston said the Chester High School senior class would operate the snack shack to earn money for its upcoming senior trip.
Skating needs
"Right now we need volunteers to prep the ice at noon each day and others to staff the event from 4 – 8 p.m.," Maston said.
He said the district also needs new and used ice skates.
"If you have any skates you wish to donate, drop them off at the ABC Center, at 372 Main St., or at the Truman Collins Sports Complex during skating hours," he said.
Skating musts
Prior to taking to the ice, all skaters, of all ages, must complete an ARPD release of liability form. The forms will be available at the complex.
They are available on the Chester-Lake Almanor Chamber of Commerce website, lakealmanorarea.com. Click on the community calendar to find the downloadable form.
It is also district insurance policy that all skaters under 18 must wear a helmet.
For more information, call the Almanor Recreation and Park District office at 258-2562 and leave a name and callback telephone number.

Homeless man held on $500k cash after standoff in Middleton Thursday
Richard Penney, 35, who previously lived in Middleton, was charged with five felonies – including robbery, two counts of theft by unauthorized taking, kidnapping and criminal threatening with a deadly weapon - following the incident which occurred along Lakeshore Drive.
During a video arraignment Friday, Judge Daniel Cappiello entered no plea for the felony charges and agreed to set bail at $500,000 cash bail, based on the recommendations of Assistant County Attorney Matt Zahn.
"We all deserve to be safe in our homes," Zahn said.
After Penney left, his brother called police around 2:10 p.m. to report that Penney had allegedly taken the weapons and multiple loaded magazines.
Penney then walked to 82 Lakeshore Drive and allegedly forced his way inside the home by threatening a woman – Heather Ducharme – with the loaded AK-47. He then held Ducharme in her home while holding police at bay outside, according to court records.
Zahn said while Penney has no criminal record, his alleged actions were a threat to all, including himself.

Kennedy returns to oppose Hudson in Atlanta
Back from suspension, D-backs righty set for rematch from May 15 win
After missing a start and having another one pushed back for his prominent role in the June 11 melee between the Dodgers and D-backs, Ian Kennedy will return to the mound Saturday in Atlanta, the first day he is eligible to pitch again.
Major League Baseball issued a 10-game suspension for Kennedy, whose pitch that hit Dodgers pitcher Zack Greinke set off a benches-clearing incident. Kennedy initially said he would appeal the ban, but ultimately decided to serve it, so the D-backs could project out their rotation.
The 28-year-old threw multiple bullpen sessions and a 35-pitch simulated game in the interim, and he hopes he won't be too rusty when the D-backs and Braves meet for the second game of a three-game series between first-place teams.
"You can't simulate a real game, you just do the best you can," Kennedy said. "You can't get the same adrenaline, you just try to go out there and throw a lot of pitches and just basically try to use everything."
After a rough start to the season, Kennedy had been throwing well at the time of his suspension. He allowed just two runs in 6 1/3 innings in the game vs. the Dodgers, then while appealing the ban, he limited the Padres to one run in 6 innings on June 16.
Even though it was tough to watch from the sidelines, Kennedy thinks the week and a half off might pay off in the long run, especially with the D-backs making a playoff push.
"Especially this time of year, where I feel like for me, the last three years usually in June and July, that's the time where I think my arm starts to get more [tired]," Kennedy said. "I'm hoping it does benefit me later in the season, but I'd much rather pitch."
Kennedy beat the Braves back on May 15, holding Atlanta to three runs (two earned) over five innings. Playing against his former teammate, Justin Upton, the right-hander got the outfielder to ground out once in the first inning, then walked him twice later in the game.
Opposing Kennedy for the Braves will be Tim Hudson. The 37-year-old lost to Kennedy in that May 15 game, surrendering five runs on eight hits over five frames.
In his last start, Hudson took a hard-luck loss, giving up just two runs in six innings as Atlanta was shut out by the Brewers.
"That's baseball," Hudson said after the game. "Unfortunately, sometimes you lose games like that. You have to go out there and keep plugging along, and hopefully the tide starts turning a little bit."
Braves: Gattis' progress slowed
Evan Gattis has yet to be cleared for baseball activities 10 days into his stint on the disabled list with a right oblique strain.
"It's a balancing act between trying to push it and trying to let it heal at the same time, so I'm just going through my treatment," Gattis said.
The 26-year-old rookie felt the muscle grab when he swung awkwardly at a slider in the seventh inning of the Braves' game against the Mets on June 17. Gattis finished the game behind the plate without getting another at-bat. He will be eligible to be activated from the 15-day DL on Wednesday, but the current pace of his healing process indicates that target may be a touch optimistic.
The club will wait until Gattis is free from any soreness before sending him on a rehab assignment.
D-backs: Putz likely to return Saturday
The D-backs expect to activate closer J.J. Putz from the disabled list Saturday.
Putz pitched in back-to-back games for Triple-A Reno on Monday and Tuesday. The right-hander was placed on the DL on May 8 with a strained elbow.
Heath Bell has closed in Putz's absence, going 13-for-15 in save opportunities.
D-backs manager Kirk Gibson was asked Friday if Putz would immediately reclaim his closer's job.
"I haven't said that," Gibson said. "I've got to talk to J.J. about it."
Worth noting
• Braves legend Chipper Jones had his No. 10 jersey retired on Friday before the series opener at Turner Field.
• The D-backs are 9-2 in extra-inning games. The nine wins lead the Majors.

Robinson This is my favorite shoe the style is unmatched the grey wilko is my favorite but I've bought several colors
Christopher B. These feel true to size. Right out of the box they were a bit stiff but broke in nicely after only a couple casual wearings. I now have a couple pair of Dappers and I am anxious to add more. They are a very good "grown up" casual. Just the right amount of casual without looking like you are off the the skate park.
Peter Covert Nice shoe
email@example.com I am really enjoying this shoe. It is so different from most of the shoes out there.
Dan Kary The shoes are just not that comfortable to me. They are tight on the sides, but I still haven't broken them in completly. So my opinion could change.
Rob Jongenelen Nice pair of shoes! There's only one small problem with them, they make my feeth very sweaty.
firstname.lastname@example.com This shoe is too tight for my son. He won't wear them because they are too tight to wear comfortably.
Isaac Lafrance Great pair of sneakers. Simple yet stylish. Comfortable yet durable.

Definition | Causes | Risk Factors | Symptoms | Diagnosis | Treatment | Prevention
Turner syndrome is a genetic disorder that includes a broad spectrum of features that vary in individuals, but usually have the common findings of short stature and loss of ovarian function. The loss of ovarian function usually leads to infertility and inhibited sexual development.
Turner syndrome only occurs in girls and women. Females normally have two X chromosomes. Turner syndrome is most commonly caused by a missing X chromosome. It is usually sporadic, meaning that it is not inherited from a parent. In rare cases, a parent silently carries rearranged chromosomes that can result in Turner syndrome in a daughter. This is the only situation in which Turner syndrome is inherited.
There are no known factors that increase the risk of Turner syndrome, other than being female.
The main symptoms of this syndrome include:

Other physical features can include:
Other health conditions that can occur include:
Depending on its severity, Turner syndrome may first be diagnosed in infancy, childhood, or adolescence.
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. A gynecologic exam may also be done.
Your bodily fluids may be tested. This can be done with blood tests.
Images may be taken of your reproductive organs. This can be done with ultrasound.
There is no known cure for Turner syndrome. However, there are treatments for many of the associated problems. These include:
If given early enough in childhood, growth hormone can improve growth and increase final adult height by a few inches. However, not all children have a good response to growth hormone. Bone-lengthening surgery can increase the final height of children with Turner syndrome who have not responded adequately to growth hormone. However, this lengthy treatment requires multiple surgeries, long periods of disability, and many potential complications.
Estrogen replacement therapy induces the normal physical changes of adolescence, including breast growth and menstrual periods. Women with Turner syndrome usually take estrogen-progesterone treatment until at least menopause to protect their bones from osteoporosis.
Other medical problems are carefully monitored and treated, including:

Job markets in Cleveland, Akron solidly on the plus side
Blog Entry:
January 08, 2013 1:49 PM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics show the extent to which most U.S. metro areas — including Akron and Cleveland — have seen jobless rates fall in the last year.
"Unemployment rates were lower in November than a year earlier in 322 of the 372 metropolitan areas, higher in 36 areas and unchanged in 14 areas," the BLS reports. It adds that 288 metros reported over-the-year increases in nonfarm payroll employment, 77 reported decreases and seven had no change.
In the Akron metro area, the unemployment rate dropped to 6% in November from 7.2% in the like month of 2011. The labor force in the Akron metro area rose slightly, to 375,500 from 373,800, the BLS reports.
The Cleveland metro area's data is more mixed. Its unemployment rate fell, but just to 6.7% from 6.8%. And the Cleveland metro's labor force declined in size, to 1.053 million in November from 1.084 million in November 2011.
Even so, both metro areas are solidly on the plus side of the BLS's analysis of labor data.
In November, BLS notes, 29 metropolitan areas still reported jobless rates of at least 10%, though that was down from 68 a year earlier. Akron and Cleveland both are among the 192 metro areas that posted rates below 7%; in November 2011, just 129 metros met that criteria.
Hedging his bets
The Wall Street Journal
runs a
short profile
of Independence-based financial adviser Dan Gaugler, who says that because hedge funds have been a disappointment, he has been shifting clients to mutual funds that use hedge fund-like strategies.
"Five to seven years ago, he was investing up to 10% of his wealthiest clients' portfolios in hedge funds of funds, which promised stock-like returns with bond-like risk by spreading money among private, high-minimum funds that used a variety of strategies,"
The Journal says.
"What they gave us was bond-like return," partly because of their high costs, says Mr. Gaugler, who in 2002 co-founded
Fairway Wealth Management LLC
, which now manages $800 million for wealthy individuals.
The Journal
says, he "now allocates 5% of many client portfolios to mutual-fund alternatives such as Merger Fund and Diamond Hill Long-Short, which are cheaper and can be sold on short notice." Over time, he says he expects these funds to earn a return somewhere between those of stocks and bonds.
Mr. Gaugler tells
The Journal
that a typical client with a moderate-risk portfolio for the three years through Dec. 31 earned 8.5% annually, before Fairway's fee, which is 0.75% for assets of $5 million and lower.
Wait, we're only No. 10?
I can't really vouch for
this lifestyle website
, called AMOG, for Alpha Male of the Group, but based on
this list
, I can at least admire the site's taste in beer,
AMOG identifies the 10 U.S. cities that brew the best beer, and sure enough, Cleveland is there, at No. 10. The short profile name-checks only a few of the highlights in town, including Great Lakes Brewing Co., Market Garden Brewery, Fat Heads and the Brew Kettle.
America's top beer-brewing city? Portland, Ore., according to the site. The rest, in order, are Denver, Philadelphia, Chicago, Albuquerque, Boston, San Francisco, Burlington and St. Louis.
The rest of the story
If the new film version of "Les Misérables" has turned you on to the Victor Hugo novel,
John Carroll University
theology professor Doris Donnelly has some
useful advice
that will inform your reading.
Writing in
The Wall Street Journal
, Dr. Donnelly, director of John Carroll's
Cardinal Suenens Center
, says that "Les Misérables" fans "may be surprised to know that not everyone in France was of good cheer when Victor Hugo published the book in 1862." The anticlerical set, she writes, "was especially offended by the pivotal role of the Bishop of Digne, who helped determine the course of the novel by resuscitating the soul of Jean Valjean."
As Hugo worked on the novel, his son, Charles, then in his 20s, "objected to the reverential treatment of the bishop," Prof. Donnelly writes. "He argued to his father that the portrayal gave undeserved respect to a corrupt clergy, bestowing credibility on a Roman Catholic Church opposed to the democratic ideals that he and his father held. Charles instead proposed that the catalyst for Jean Valjean's transformation be a lawyer or doctor or anyone else from a secular profession."
The pushback didn't work.
"Not only did Hugo hold his ground, but he amplified the importance of Charles-François Bienvenue Myriel, affectionately known in the novel as Monseigneur Bienvenue (Bishop Welcome)," according to Dr. Donnelly. "The book's first hundred pages or so are a detailed chronicle of Myriel's exemplary life, showing that his intervention on behalf of Jean Valjean was part of a long track record and not a singular aberration. Apparently Hugo recognized no contradiction between his anticlericalism and the possibility—or certainty—that grace could be mediated by a just priest who was transparent to the divine and never betrayed the human."
She has a lot more great detail about the history. It's well worth your time.

I just registered to ask the following (nice captcha btw):
Can anyone with good insight/working on the closed/open source driver give an estimation when/if the OpenCl driver will support the Cycles Blender Renderer in OpenCl mode?
I'd be happy to hear a rough estimate like in
* maybe a few months
* 1/2 - 1 year
* more than 1 year / never.
I heard the blender devs say that the problem is in the driver, I d love to hear a driver dev's opinion on the theme.
And in general, if you are working on the drivers, many thanks for your efforts! The improvents you made are awesome!

A mahogany body with carved maple top, 490R/498T pickups and pure rock tone.
Since 1983, Gibson USA has been proving not only that less is sometimes more, but also that less can sometimes knock your socks off – when it comes in the form of the popular no-nonsense Les Paul Studio model, at least. Originally designed as a model for studio artists but adopted wholeheartedly by countless players of all stripes, the 2013 Les Paul Studio combines stripped-down appointments with the full tonal splendor and unrivaled playability of a Les Paul Standard.
All the elements of the legendary Les Paul Standard are still there, including that fat and sweet maple-and-mahogany tone through two genuine Gibson humbucking pickups. By eliminating a little of the window dressing – namely, building the guitar without binding around the body top or fingerboard, and applying an elegant gold silkscreened logo in place of an inlay – the Les Paul Studio weighs in at a price that players have found irresistible for three decades. It also physically weighs less. The mahogany body comes with "modern" weight relieving that is carefully applied inside the mahogany back to provide outstanding balance while optimizing the sonic capabilities of the guitar.
Crucial elements of the Les Paul Studio's design include the carved maple top and mahogany body, glued-in mahogany neck with back-angled headstock, granadillo fingerboard, Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece – all design points that have been making Les Pauls the most desirable tone monsters available since the late 1950s. For electronics, a set of Gibson's 498T and 490R Alnico humbucking pickups squeeze every drop of tone from the instrument, and now feature coil-taps for an even broader range of tonal possibilities.
With these classic ingredients, the Les Paul Studio gives you all the sonic versatility you could ask for, from sultry, warm bluesy tones to powerful crunch to sizzling lead tones. Finally, the Les Paul Studio is supremely playable too, thanks to its slim-taper 60's neck profile and a chambered mahogany body that reduces the weight while enhancing resonance, making it outstandingly comfortable strapped on or seated. Includes case.
