What is the general preference? I can see the pro/con of each. The ball cap with cape/bandana keeps all the sun off your face/neck but traps heat. The full brim hat doesn't trap the heat but isn't necessarily going to provide the same sun protection.I'm travelling to southern Utah next week for a Bryce-Escalante-Zion drive/hike loop so I'm wondering what the consensus among the desert rats here is.
I'm going there in two weeks and just two days ago bought a OR Sun Runner. It disappeared when atop my head with an adjustable velcro closure, and has the optional snap on cape for ear/neck protection with toggle closure for a snug fit if desired. perfect for my almost never hat wearing head!
I prefer a visor with a bandanna. Doesn't trap heat, allows the most evaporative cooling from the top of my head when not in direct sunlight, and still keeps the sun out of my eyes for short stretches along with catching spider webs tolerably well.Weighs ~1.5 oz, plus the weight of the bandanna (which I carry anyway as a multitool).Hope it helps!
On the Colorado Plateau or in the SW deserts I don't screw around. I usually have a wide-brimmed hat AND a bandana/buff around my lower face. (Think old-timey bandits in Western movies). The buff protects my neck and lower face from UV, filters out dust and sand, and creates a humid microclimate that cools incoming air when I inhale. The wide-brim provides full sun coverage over the top half of my face and ears.
+1 on the OR Sun Runner. Great coverage from the sun and lightweight to boot.
How about a shemagh with a hat? Might scare off the locals.
I like the sunrunner as well. It breathes pretty well and covers more than a normal wide brimmed hat would. A wide brimmed hat with bandana would be a good option as well.

You just have to try both styles and see. I so much wanted the OR Sun runner hat to work. It is nice and light. But I was much hotter in that than an open mesh wide brim hat. Good luck with the hat choice,-Barry-The mountains were made for Tevas
"But I was much hotter in that than an open mesh wide brim hat." This! I was just looking at mine in my hat box a few day back and remembering. The top of it is essentially a thin skull cap. Forget about UV, what about IR. It great for what it blocks, but anything it actually adsorbs gets transferred directly to my noggin, with not too much air to let it escape. Still for high mountains where temp is not necessarily high, but where light is very intense is is probably perfect.It is of course personal, but for actual sweltering temps as well as intense light I might go for something with a bit more air between the top of the hat and my head.PS. Escalante country is great this time of year. *envious*

After years of using a regular ballcap, I've grown to love my Sunrunner too. The little neck cape looked really neat when I first bought it, but I've never been able to tolerate it for more than five minutes so I usually just throw the cap on. It's light, and it dries fast too. I occasionally go running with it when there's rain out, which is a nice bonus.
A lot of full brimmed hats have floppy brims - so worthless in the wind, as the brim blows up and now you are exposed. Check carefully for stiffness of brim when looking at full brim hats.
REI and Tilley both make wide brimmed hats that have neck capes that tuck back into a hidden pocket. The Tilley has a ring of mesh around the top so it should be cooler than a baseball cap and it also has a closure on the neck cape to keep it from blowing around in the wind - that's a must have. The REI hat is neither vented nor does the cape have a closure but it is made from thinner material and is also floppy/packable and about 1/3 the price of Tilley.I've also owned an ExOfficio ball-cap with neck cape and closure that I find works quite well in the mountains on cooler but sunny and windy days.Here are links to the two brimmed hats:Tilley: http://www.tilley.com/LTM6IS-AIRFLO-Hat-with-Insect-Shield.aspxREI: http://www.rei.com/product/795922/rei-sahara-outback-cape-hat

Look to the left. Ugly, dorky looking...but effective for me.It is what I use anyway. Is it the "best"? Couldn't tell you.I do know it has worked for me. (Including this past weekend in Dominguez Canyon while backpacking. Oh yeah! :D)
I'll take my Tilly brimmed hat over a billed hat any time except in winter under a hood. The brim is way more complete sun protection and rain deflection, and better at holding a mosquito net than a bill, and much cooler in heat. And, you can hang a bandana from the back of either one just fine . . . How about an umbrella? ;)
when it's really hot my favorite is sunday afternoon adventure hat. Huge brim, cape on the back, but with enough space that air freely moves between me and the cape making it cooler wearing that the OR Sun Runner. Downside is that it's ugly and a bit large / awkward.--mark

My Nike dri-fit running cap is 47 gram. Add to it very light dri-fit fabric and you get UL hat which is very airy and protects from sun.I live in Israel. Believe me we have enough of that UV radiation.

If the problem is UV rather than excess heat-minus-windchill, all well and good -- I've never walked above 4000 feet, but I can imagine it would be good for that.If you're just hot and sweaty, you want shade and ventilation. Get a grimmed hat with several square inches of mesh, or better still a reflective umbrella if it's practical (wind etc).And if you just want to keep sun out of your eyes, get a strap on sun visor.[Fun fact for desert rats: in Britain we have fifty times as many deaths invloving a lack of UV as a surplus.]
So it's pretty funny this was brought up as I will be hiking the PCT next weekend. I have gone back and forth on what would be the est headwear system. I initially was planning on hiking in a visor/bandana, but after some careful deliberation relized that this would likely leave me sunburned. So I was contemplating the northface bad water, or the arcteryx spiro. I ended up going to dicks (i'm bored at my parents while I'm waiting to leave) and they happened to have the northface badwater hat on sale for 8.00! I really like the hat itself and think that the way the cloth buttons under the chin is an excellent solution as well. The cloth is lightweight and airy. I have a few gripes: the hat is a little small for my large noggin, and the brim could be a little wider. It's roughly the size of an average hat. good luck in choosing your headwear
Thanks for all input.It seems like a fully brimmed hat might be the way to go so long as long as the brim is stiff in the wind. I had/have a fully brimmed OR rain hat(not the Seattle Sombrero) that I really liked for rain protection, it would just be too hot, I think, for desert wear. How is the brim on the OR Sombriolet? I know Tilley makes the Cadillac of brimmed hats, but that's a bit more than I'd like to spend.

Termination of Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands
For termination of Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, see note set out preceding section 1681 of Title 48, Territories and Insular Possessions.
Proc. No. 5030. Exclusive Economic Zone
WHEREAS the Government of the United States of America desires to facilitate the wise development and use of the oceans consistent with international law;
WHEREAS international law recognizes that, in a zone beyond its territory and adjacent to its territorial sea, known as the Exclusive Economic Zone, a coastal State may assert certain sovereign rights over natural resources and related jurisdiction; and
WHEREAS the establishment of an Exclusive Economic Zone by the United States will advance the development of ocean resources and promote the protection of the marine environment, while not affecting other lawful uses of the zone, including the freedoms of navigation and overflight, by other States;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, by the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and laws of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the sovereign rights and jurisdiction of the United States of America and confirm also the rights and freedoms of all States within an Exclusive Economic Zone, as described herein.
The Exclusive Economic Zone of the United States is a zone contiguous to the territorial sea, including zones contiguous to the territorial sea of the United States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (to the extent consistent with the Covenant and the United Nations Trusteeship Agreement), and United States overseas territories and possessions. The Exclusive Economic Zone extends to a distance 200 nautical miles from the baseline from which the breadth of the territorial sea is measured. In cases where the maritime boundary with a neighboring State remains to be determined, the boundary of the Exclusive Economic Zone shall be determined by the United States and other State concerned in accordance with equitable principles.
Within the Exclusive Economic Zone, the United States has, to the extent permitted by international law, (a) sovereign rights for the purpose of exploring, exploiting, conserving and managing natural resources, both living and non-living, of the seabed and subsoil and the superjacent waters and with regard to other activities for the economic exploitation and exploration of the zone, such as the production of energy from the water, currents and winds; and (b) jurisdiction with regard to the establishment and use of artificial islands, and installations and structures having economic purposes, and the protection and preservation of the marine environment.
This Proclamation does not change existing United States policies concerning the continental shelf, marine mammals and fisheries, including highly migratory species of tuna which are not subject to United States jurisdiction and require international agreements for effective management.
The United States will exercise these sovereign rights and jurisdiction in accordance with the rules of international law.
Without prejudice to the sovereign rights and jurisdiction of the United States, the Exclusive Economic Zone remains an area beyond the territory and territorial sea of the United States in which all States enjoy the high seas freedoms of navigation, overflight, the laying of submarine cables and pipelines, and other internationally lawful uses of the sea.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this tenth day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventh.Ronald Reagan.

Women & Gender
Ensuring equity between women and men is the key to unleashing the full potential of communities to transform their lives. Mercy Corps addresses the unmet needs of women and girls in places where they have been marginalized and disempowered, while recognizing that it is vital to involve men and boys in the process of helping women and girls claim their equal place.
Throughout our programs, we consider the needs of both genders and build on the courage and resourcefulness of women to help them improve their families and communities.

In Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics, Ina truly breaks down her ideas on flavor, examining the ingredients and techniques that are the foundation of her easy, refined style.
Here Ina covers the essentials, from ten ways to boost the flavors of your ingredients to ten things not to serve at a party, as well as professional tips that make successful baking, cooking, and entertaining a breeze. The recipes—crowd-pleasers like Lobster Corn Chowder, Tuscan Lemon Chicken, and Easy Sticky Buns—demonstrate Inas talent for transforming fresh, easy-to-find ingredients into elegant meals you can make without stress.
For longtime fans, Ina delivers new insights into her simple techniques; for newcomers she provides a thorough master class on the basics of Barefoot Contessa cooking plus a Q&A section with answers to the questions people ask her all the time. With full-color photographs and invaluable cooking tips, Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics is an essential addition to the cherished library of Barefoot Contessa cookbooks.
"The sixth cookbook from the Barefoot Contessa juggernaut contains exactly the kind of appealing, simple-yet-just-gourmet-enough recipes Garten devotees adore. There's nothing very surprising (Garten tries to claim an ingredient-focused premise), but her formula works. She offers such dishes as Lobster Corn Chowder, Creamy Cucumber Salad, Tuscan Lemon Chicken, Tagliarelle with Truffle Butter (which has just five ingredients, plus salt and pepper), and Brownie Pudding. Garten suggests tips on such things as setting the table and '10 things not to serve at a dinner party.' Her tone can be charmingly pretentious, but she comes down to earth with admissions like 'I have to admit that pastry still makes me anxious. When I discovered puff pastry, it was such a relief.' Recipes are short and simple, and she often squeezes in insightful hints for making things work perfectly." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
The essential Ina Garten cookbook focuses on the techniques behind her elegant food and easy entertaining style, offering nearly 100 brand-new recipes that will become trusted favorites.

|Bill inspired by Black case passes House
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Thursday, 21 June 2007 19:58
A bill inspired by the scandal surrounding former
House speaker Jim Black passed the House by a vote of 107 to 0.
The bill would require corrupt officials to forfeit their pensions. While the measure would come too late to affect Black or touch pensions an official earns for another government-paid job, it provides that an elected official convicted of misconduct in an official capacity would lose retirement benefits earned for that office.

Keith Law just pegged Levi Michael in the mid-first round in a tweet, but I could see ARI going for him with the second pick. I assume they'll go for a safe college player who'll sign at slot.
Don wrote:I swear Keith Law and I must be sharing a brain. He has listed Archie Bradley as a dark horse pick, but he has Dylan Bundy slotted to the Orioles.
Cole dropped to 5th and I suspect that Joe Jordan would still take the Okie boy in a heartbeat. I mean the kid was born to play baseball and the kid loves the game. I mean he will pitch, eat, sleep in that order. I say he is in AA in 2012 and it would not be shocked to see him make the majors in 2013. He is a special kind of high school talent.
I think the only player to change their plans would be Rendon.
Jordan wrote:If the O's get any one of Cole, Rendon, Starling or Bundy I will come out of Day 1 satisfied.

As state governments and federal lawmakers who take their oath of office seriously work to stop the Obama administration's proposed unconstitutional infringements on the right to keep and bear arms, a wave of county sheriffs all across the country is rising up to protect gun rights, too. Dozens of chief law enforcement officers have already pledged not to enforce new gun control, and many have even promised to actively prevent the enforcement of unconstitutional federal statutes within their jurisdictions.
Elected sheriffs, as the top law enforcement officers within their counties, work for the citizens and taxpayers in their jurisdictions, not the federal government. Even the Supreme Court ruled that sheriffs cannot be compelled to follow federal dictates or mandates in a landmark case on gun control. Now, with Obama pushing hard for new restrictions on gun rights — finding strong support from some anti-Second Amendment Democrats in Congress and much of the increasingly discredited establishment media — sheriffs nationwide are putting their foot down to defend the rights of their constituents.
Chief law enforcement officers from Kentucky, Oregon, Texas, California, Missouri, Idaho, Alabama, Colorado, South Carolina, Georgia, Minnesota, Florida, Nevada, Arizona, Ohio, New York, Utah, Oklahoma, and other states have all spoken out already — many of them in unison. It seems that virtually every single day, more sheriffs are adding their voices to the expanding list of prominent lawmen who have vowed to ensure that the U.S. Constitution is respected in their jurisdictions.
"I am ecstatic about the growing number of sheriffs around the country vowing to defend the Second Amendment against Obama's unlawful gun control efforts," said former Arizona Sheriff Richard Mack, a decorated lawman who sued the federal government over gun control and won before going on to found the widely respected Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA). "As the groundswell continues, we expect more and more sheriffs to come out of the woodwork and join our coalition against tyranny!"
Before Obama had even gathered a group of children together to exploit as propaganda props while unveiling his anti-gun rights machinations publicly — the plan calls for a ban on semi-automatic weapons and standard capacity magazines, "universal" background checks that critics say will lead to gun registration, and much more — resistance was beginning to manifest itself. Citizens in particular were expressing alarm and speaking out.

Real Estate
If you are exploring ways to give to the Business Honors Program, your property opens the door to a unique philanthropic opportunity: donate the property to the Business Honors Program, either now or whenever you no longer need it.
If you've owned your home or other real estate for a long time, it has most likely increased in value. What happens if you sell the property? In many circumstances, should you not meet the requirements of available tax breaks, you must pay capital gains tax on the property's appreciation. Plus, marketing and selling real estate takes time and effort, even if you use professional assistance.

Beyond Measure: Conversations across art and science is a new exhibition at Kettle's Yard, Cambridge that explores how geometry is used by artists and astronomers, engineers, surgeons, architects, physicists and mathematicians — among many others — as a means to explain, understand and order the world around us.
Built around a series of workshops, talks and discussions, Beyond Measure will offer many different ways of engaging with geometry, and many different views of the world we live in. The exhibition draws parallels between the artist's studio, the laboratory and the study as equivalent places for thinking, imagining and creating.Read more...

Have you ever attended a Royal Institution Mathematics Masterclass?
If you have, then the Royal Institution of Great Britain would like to hear from you.
Since 1981 the RI Masterclasses in Mathematics have been enriching school maths for 12 to 14 year-olds. Now the RI is for the first time undertaking an independent evaluation of the programme. "This is a very exciting opportunity," says Sara Santos, Clothworkers' Fellow in Mathematics at the RI, "We are seeking to further improve our already successful programme, even perhaps reshape it to challenge and enthuse our finest young minds."
If you have participated in any of the RI Mathematics Masterclasses for Young People (any time between 1981 and now), you can now record your memories and reflections in this on-line questionnaire. The questionnaire takes around 15 minutes to complete. "It might be a precious amount of time for you, but your feedback is invaluable for us," says Sara. "We are also trying to keep in touch with the Masterclasses community." To keep in touch, please visit the RI website, email the RI on firstname.lastname@example.com, or join the group RI Mathematics Masterclasses for Young People on Facebook .

Maths and Science through the medium of song
They say that music is a very mathematical pursuit. Here at Plus, we have written about mathematics and music many times.
The MASSIVE database is a website that contains information on over 2500 science and mathematics songs. Some songs are for children, others for professors. Some are by professional recording artists, others recorded in garages. The site is maintained by Greg Crowther, who is affiliated with the University of Washington, Science Groove, and the Science Songwriters' Association. MASSIVE is part of the US National Science Foundation's National Science Digital Library.
My personal favourite science song? She Blinded me with Science by Thomas Dolby — and you can find this song in the database. Another way of tracking down science songs is by doing a search for science at LastFM. What is your favourite science or mathematics song?

The Big Questions
As part of this year's National Science and Engineering Week, the BA are running a project called The Big Questions, which challenges the public to pose their burning science and engineering questions through live events, online and via the media.
Sir Roland Jackson, Chief Executive of the BA, said:
"Questioning is at the heart of scientific discovery. From evolution to space exploration British scientists have always been courageous in asking and solving some of the big questions of their time. In doing so, they have expanded our knowledge, earned our respect and enriched our lives. We want to celebrate our nation's innate curiosity by encouraging the public to share with us their big questions on life, the universe and beyond. In return, we will ask some of our best scientific brains to come up with an answer."
Helping to answer the questions are Oxford University Press, Brainiac LIVE!, The Punk Scientists, The British Library and the Royal Pharmaceutical Society.
Questions that have been asked already include:
Scientists who have posted their own questions include:
You can find a list of the questions that have been posed so far, or post your own question, at: http://bigquestion.wordpress.com/. The event will be launched to the national media on 6th March. The BA is currently looking for more scientists and experts to help answer some questions, and so if you know the answers to any of the questions posed and want to help out, you can answer by posting on their blog.
Apart from online, other Big Questions are going to be answered at events organised by the Science Museum, Jodrell Bank, the National Botanic Garden of Wales, Cambridge Science Festival and the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience.

The Further Mathematics Network and Rolls-Royce plc are inviting entries for a new UK national poster competition for undergraduate and PGCE mathematics students. The academic year 2007-8 is the first year that the competition has been run, and there is a £100 prize awarded for the design of each winning poster — it is likely that two posters will be selected. The winning designs will be sent to schools and colleges around the UK, meaning that your poster may be exposed to tens of thousands of teachers, students and parents — the potential audience is over 2000 schools and colleges.

Vanguard Health Systems
Our commitment to our communities' well-being reaches far beyond providing quality clinical health care. Our hospitals are anchors in their respective communities. At Vanguard, we believe in the mission of providing health care to everyone and we act on that belief. We provide funding to local charitable foundations and activities, allowing the hospitals to address important issues affecting surrounding neighborhoods. We also maintain several school-based clinics and outreach or educational programs.
Our goal is to develop hospitals that offer a full range of health care services and give back to the communities. Here are some highlights we're proud to report in each market:
In Massachusetts, Saint Vincent Hospital runs the Pernet Clinic, a prenatal clinic that serves uninsured mothers-to-be and gives them access to prenatal care that otherwise would not be available to them. Through this clinic, women can get pregnancy tests, health education, nutrition counseling, even referrals to services to help them locate housing and find sufficient food for their families.
At Vanguard's MetroWest Medical Center, which has two locations in the nearby communities of Natick and Framingham, employees are working with local companies to send packages overseas through "Support Our Troops" initiative and have sponsored countless local sports and athletic teams in support of this effort. Additionally, MetroWest distributes free bicycle helmets to children twice a year.
In Chicago, staff members at both MacNeal Hospital and Weiss Memorial Hospital participate as board or committee members in a number of community organizations, including:
Apna Ghar, a domestic violence shelter primarily serving Asian women and children – the first Asian shelter of its kind in the Midwest.
Chicago Health Outreach, community health centers on the North, South and West sides of Chicago that provide neighborhood health care and HIV services.
Alivio Medical Center, a bilingual, bicultural center committed to providing access to quality cost-effective healthcare to the Latino community.
In Texas, the Baptist Health System in San Antonio continues its commitment to partner with area groups to improve lives. Hospital employees and members of area churches have raised funds and helped build five Habitat for Humanity houses within the past three years. In addition, individual and corporate support of local United Way efforts has resulted in Baptist Health System being the largest giver to the United Way among non-governmental hospitals in San Antonio for two consecutive years. Baptist also has opened its sixth Pregnancy Testing Center. These centers offer free testing, prenatal care and subsidized delivery services to improve the health of underprivileged mothers and babies. To learn more about the Baptist Health System and its community contributions, visit Baptist Health Systems
In Phoenix, Vanguard's Abrazo Health Care System – a five-hospital system serving Maricopa County, sponsors 19 licensed school-based health centers serving 28 schools throughout the metropolitan Phoenix, providing access to primary health services. Our services focus on providing basic primary care services, including prevention, immunizations, diagnosis, treatment, referrals and follow-up. Most of the children served by our school-based health centers have no health insurance and most lack a "medical home." In addition to providing on-campus office space for the Susan G. Komen Breast Center Foundation, the system supports the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, the American Diabetes Association Walk and the American Heart Association Walk. In addition to supporting local charitable causes, Abrazo actively promotes healthy lifestyles through programs such as the Wellness Connection at Arrowhead Hospital, which provides more than 70 programs, lectures, classes and support groups each month.

About the PORTAL (MD/MSCR) Program
The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai offers a dual degree program for students who have a successful past in the clinical research environment and want to create a foundation for a career in translational research. The Patient-Oriented Research Training and Leadership (PORTAL) program offers the unique opportunity for students to earn a dual MD/MSCR degree. It is a highly selective, strongly mentored program, designed to encourage the career development of medical students who seek to become leaders as physician-scientists. Using a multidisciplinary approach, students in the PORTAL program obtain rigorous didactic and practical training in the field of clinical investigation from the very beginning.
Program Objectives
The PORTAL program is directed at teaching participants how to design and carry out original research studies leading to new approaches to the prevention, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of disease. This comprehensive dual degree program prepares students for a future as lifelong learners and for careers in academia, research institutes, industry, or regulatory agencies.
Curriculum and Research
Students in the PORTAL program are taught the techniques and introduced to the thought processes used by patient-oriented clinical and translational researchers. The curriculum focuses on helping students gain critical thinking skills and offers a solid foundation for conducting independent patient-oriented research studies.
For their thesis research, PORTAL students pursue original scholarly research on a subject of their choice, guided by a faculty mentor and the program directors. This entails the formulation of a research question, design and conduct of a research plan, analysis of the resulting data, and presentation of the findings.
Admissions Criteria
In addition to meeting the requirements for admission to the MD program, PORTAL applicants must have had substantive clinical or translational research experience. All decisions are made on the basis of merit and without discrimination because of race, sex, color, creed, age, national origin, handicap, veteran status, marital status, or sexual orientation.
Applying to PORTAL
Applications to PORTAL will be sent to students who have applied to the MD program and have been invited for an interview.

PAWTUCKET – It was apparent that Will Middlebrooks was not a happy camper.
On the same day that saw the Red Sox bring up Brock Holt to fill the infield void that was created in the wake of Jose Iglesias' departure, Middlebrooks expressed his displeasure in a loud and boisterous way after striking out to end the third inning of Pawtucket's 3-0 loss to Norfolk on matinee Wednesday at McCoy Stadium.
Middlebrooks believed that the 3-1 pitch was high, but it was called strike two. He swung and missed on the next pitch, then tossed his bat and helmet. Seconds after voicing his displeasure to home plate umpire Joey Amaral, Middlebrooks was informed that he was done for the day.
"For me, watching him especially over the last day, it's been tough – all the trade rumors, Holt going up," said Pawtucket manager Gary DiSarcina. "It can get frustrating, but you can't get thrown out there, especially with a short bench.
"Will's been frustrated a little bit with his at-bats, trying to keep a consistent approach. He's had a couple of tough calls go against him. He said a couple of things that he shouldn't have said and he got ejected," DiSarcina continued. "He's got to learn how to control the frustrations."
Speaking about his ejection, Middlebrooks said, "I overreacted. Just got frustrated. You try to have good at-bats and they get taken away from you. I just lost my cool."
The fact that Holt was the PawSox player chosen reaffirms the belief that Middlebrooks needs additional seasoning in the minors. Holt can bounce between shortstop and third base while Middlebrooks doesn't boast that type of versatility. Another possible option to fill Iglesias' shoes was Xander Bogaerts, but the Red Sox seem committed to the idea of letting the 20-year-old finish the season in Pawtucket before bringing him up in September.
Middlebrooks started to show signs that his month with the PawSox was starting to pay off. Just last week, he enjoyed a streak where he collected two hits in four straight games. He's cooled off since and is in the midst of a 2-for-20 slump that dates back five games.
"Will's still got work to do. He still needs to be more consistent. He still needs to have better at-bats on a daily basis," DiSarcina said before Wednesday's game. "He understands why he's here. Sure there's probably some disappointment but you have to get over it and be a professional. And Will is that way."
"I feel good. It's not that I'm hitting .330, but I'm hitting a lot of balls hard and getting in decent counts," said Middlebrooks, whose error in the third inning allowed the Tides to push across all three of the runs it turns out they would need.
Middlebrooks smiled when asked about showing restraint and not following David Ortiz' lead when it comes to taking a bat to the dugout telephone upon getting run from the game.
"I learned a lesson watching that," said Middlebrooks. "I figured that I had gotten in enough trouble at that point. I didn't need to do any more damage."
Allen Webster turned in a performance Wednesday that was encouraging to say the least. The righty finished with a dozen strikeouts in six innings – the most punchouts by a PawSox starter since Kyle Weiland performed the feat on June 29, 2011.
Like Middlebrooks, Webster committed an error during that fateful third inning for Pawtucket. Just one of the three runs he allowed was earned.
"I field that ground ball in the third, we're still playing," said Webster.
Webster said the key for him was his ability to pitch free and easy, something that hasn't always been the case lately. He was able to lower his ERA from 4.24 to 4.04.
"I felt comfortable all the way around. I felt better today than all year," said Webster. "I wasn't thinking about mechanics at all. I was letting the ball work and getting ahead of batters."
Franklin Morales turned in his second consecutive sharp outing, needing 13 pitches to retire Norfolk in order in the seventh.
"Great pace, his fastball has life, a really nice curveball," DiSarcina said of Morales, who has been sidelined with pectoral issues that have limited his availability since the start of the season. "He's attacking the strike zone with velocity. He goes right after these guys. He looks great. He's healthy."
While Morales appears on the verge of rejoining Boston's bullpen, fellow rehabber Alex Wilson (right thumb) hopes to take a major step forward in the coming days. Wilson is scheduled to pitch Thursday and Friday before getting re-evaluated. He allowed one run during a one-inning appearance for the PawSox on Tuesday.
EXTRA BASES: As expected, the PawSox played Wednesday's game minus outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr., who hurt his arm while making a throw Tuesday. … Three Norfolk pitchers combined to five-hit Pawtucket, which was shutout for the sixth time. … Alfredo Aceves was scheduled to undergo an MRI Wednesday. Presently on the DL with a left oblique strain, Aceves is expected to head to Fort Myers when the PawSox embark on an eight-game road trip that begins Saturday. … Taking Holt's place on Pawtucket's roster is outfielder Ronald Bermudez. … DiSarcina said that reliever Brayan Villarreal – one of the players the Red Sox acquired from the Tigers – was expected to arrive in Pawtucket Wednesday night. The 26-year-old will remain on the disabled list with a thumb injury that limited his availability with Triple-A Toledo. … Pawtucket figures to embrace the new month that begins Thursday after posting a dismal 9-19 record in July. The just-completed month started out with the PawSox in first place by 6½ games. It concluded with DiSarcina & Co. falling out of the top spot in the I.L. North and leading the wild-card picture.

-PLEASE MOVE TO GENERAL (not suggestions as this isn't currently aimed so directly at ID)
The largest problem here is educating everyone as a lot of people with standard accounts won't think to add people hosting servers, nor is it easy (compared to other online gaming platforms). Anyway, here goes.
Pro Members:
1. Download QLprism and make sure 'Auto-invite' script is enabled
2. Get a Wealthy friends list with Pro, Prem and Standard Accounts.
3. Create your IDEAL server, with the maps and gametype you want and/or think people want to play.
4. Go AFK and ADVERTISE YOUR SERVER (I dont know how we should do this, maybe via a thread, maybe in our profile biographies or another idea is by setting up a clan with a name to reflect this purpose, ie: TDM Games)
Standard Members:
See a Premium server you like the look of? Add the person hosting it, their name should be the title of the server, once accepted, send them a message saying 'invite' and you should receive one.
Premium Members:
You're a commitment phobe
JK, I just didn't see the point in premium with the way things are.. however with these steps we can make premium a whole lot more appealing because the hassle of friending and getting invites isn't there.
Please criticise constructively or otherwise, I'm sitting here feeling like I am Neo, the one, with the answer to everybody's nightmare so if this idea falls short, I'd love to know where.
Yeah ID could just change it and give it all to us on a platter (which given this games age they probably should) but if we do things this way we'll create a much more admirable, personable and friendly community.
Owait.. maybe ClanArena considering ID completely blew off the whole casual TDM scene, forgot about that -_-
I've spawned a pro TDM server open to standard members to see if it actually populates.

Comments about Mammut Element Key Lock Carabiners:
Mammut is making good stuff these days. I love the Elements. I have both the wire gates (rope end) and keylocks (bolt/pro end) and love them both. The wire gates are quite possibly my favorite carabiner on the market today. They clip super easily, have very good feel and are light given their price. The keylocks are fairly comparable to other keylock non locker's out there but at a fraction of the price! They have great action, are relatively light, the keylock feature is amazing. No snags...ever! I stand by Mammut on these.
For the price, these literally cannot be beat.
