Placing Models in the Ocean
SketchUp can be used to create three-dimensional models for Google Earth's Ocean layer.
The workflow for creating and placing SketchUp models in Google Earth Ocean layer follows:
- Select the Extensions panel in the Preferences dialog box (Window > Preferences on Microsoft Windows or SketchUp > Preferences on Mac OS X). The Extensions panel is displayed.
- Select Google Earth Ocean Modeling checkbox. The ocean modeling extension is enabled.
- Add a location that is over the area in the ocean where you want to create your model (you can often see terrain under the ocean from the Add Location dialog box). Refer to Adding a location for information on how to add a location to your model.
- Create your model on or above the 2D image of the ocean. If you draw your model above the 2D image (so that it floats in the middle of the ocean), you need to know the ocean depth. It is possible to place a model at a distance above the 2D image of the ocean floor such that it appears at or above sea level if you place your model at a height above the 2D image that is more than the depth of the ocean.
- Click on the Toggle Terrain button to toggle to a 3D image of the ocean floor.
- Reposition the model, adjusting for the terrain in the 3D image.
- Click on the Preview Model in Google Earth button to view the model in Google Earth.
- Click on the Share Model button to post the model to the 3D Warehouse.

Kent State Honored With Tree Campus USA Designation for Fifth Consecutive Year
The Arbor Day Foundation recently honored Kent State University with a Tree Campus USA designation for the fifth consecutive year. Tree Campus USA was created in 2008 to honor colleges and universities across the nation for campus forest management and engagement in conservation goals.
Kent State had to meet five standards: maintain a tree advisory committee, develop a campus tree-care plan, dedicate annual expenditures toward trees, host Arbor Day observances and have student service-learning projects.
"Long before the Tree Campus USA recognition started, Kent State already had a long commitment to preserving the sylvan character of campus, including maintaining and replacing trees as necessary," said Heather White, grounds manager of University Facilities Management at Kent State.
For a student service-learning project, White worked with an urban forestry class and its professor to inventory trees and build a database. Students were trained to use GPS and were sent out to collect data about tree identification.
When the Arbor Day Foundation initiated Tree Campus USA, it had key components of what a tree advisory committee should be, White said. The recommendations included having a local arborist, as well as involvement from students and faculty.
Kent State's tree advisory committee consists of eight to 10 members. The committee is open to anyone, but it is geared toward biology majors. The committee works with people who show an interest in green initiatives and sustainability from the Net Impact group on campus.
"As the Tree Campus USA award becomes much more recognizable nationally, it will demonstrate that Kent State has a long commitment to maintaining infrastructure of the land," White said.
Toyota helped launch Tree Campus USA, and it continues to be a generous financial supporter. Throughout the country, the Arbor Day Foundation and Toyota have helped campuses plant hundreds of thousands of trees.
More information about this program is available at www.arborday.org/TreeCampusUSA.

In Thamathu, a small village in Lesotho, huts of stone with thatched roofs and fields of wheat and corn lie on the edge of a vast African expanse.
Chris Westphal, foreground, rides on the trail through Lesotho with his guide, Steve Black. Riding with them are Anna Burn and Cecily Totten.
Some 35,000 to 40,000 individual Bushman paintings have been discovered in some 500 cave sites in the area. The Bushmen are believed to have inhabited the region from 40,000 to 100,000 years ago, disappearing some 300 years ago. Exact dating of the paintings has proved difficult, but they are estimated to be 2,000 to 3,500 years old. Photo by Chris Westphal NOTE: In the text, the bushman painting is described as 4,000 years old. This should be attributed to Steve Black, my guide though not an archaeologist, it's true. Apparently the age of the paintings is difficult to determine; anywhere from 2,400 to 3,400 years old, Wikipedia says. If you want me to modify that portion, I will, but I'm fine leaving it up to you. thanks, Chris
Typical Lesotho Rondavels: Built of stone, using mud as mortar and thatched with dried wheat stalks, these rondavels are typical dwellings in the area. Photo by Chris Westphal.
The tall peaks above, shrouded in clouds and about 10,000 feet in elevation, are known locally in Lesotho as The Three Bushmen. Below left is an example of a Bushman rock painting, of which there are more than 35,000 in about 500 cave sites in Lesotho. Seen below right are typical Lesotho rondavels, dwellings built of stone, using mud as mortar and thatched with dried wheat stalks.

BUFFALO, NY - Buffalo Police have given the all-clear at ECMC's nursing home after a call of a person with a gun.
An ECMC spokesperson says the call came from outside the building and that the hospital is taking every precaution. About a dozen police cars blocked the entrance to the building for about an hour.
ECMC Issued this statement following the incident:
"ECMC received a call through the main switchboard around 7 a.m. today reporting that the caller knew of someone who may have a gun in the Terrace View long-term care facility. As with any potential threat, and always putting patient and staff safety first, ECMC security responded immediately and initiated appropriate protocols, including an internal lockdown of Terrace View. As part of their pre-arranged response plan, hospital officials also alerted Buffalo Police. A thorough search of the building found nothing to corroborate the call."

New Packaging for Katadyn
At the start of 2012, Katadyn will switch its entire line of Katadyn products to a new packaging design. The new appearance is intended to make it easier for customers to decide what to buy when they visit stores. The most important information is visible at a glance in a clean and more modern look.
The added QR code enables customers in the store to use their Smartphones to directly access the individual Katadyn product videos and see for themselves how the filters are used in the outdoors. The wide variety of water purification systems offered in the shops make it hard for consumers to get a clear picture and new Katadyn filter packaging will help you make the right choice.

WADDINGTON - Anglers will descend upon Waddington this weekend for the annual St. Lawrence River Walleye Associations annual Northern Pike Challenge.
Last years tournament included 849 participants and this year Association President Michael Gagner said theyre hoping for 1,000.
The last two years in a row we have had the worst storm of the year that day and I think it had deterred some people south of us from making the trip up, he said. This year, this is the best ice weve had in a long time. We should have a good turnout.
Registration for the tournament will begin at 3 a.m. at the Louisville Fire Hall on state Route 37 and continue until 7 a.m. when the tournament begins. Tournament sites include Coles Creek, Brandy Brook, Fobares Pond and Wilson Hill.
While many tournaments assign anglers a location or hold lotteries to determine fishing sites, Mr. Gagner said participants in the Northern Pike Challenge can fish at any of the sites they choose. Registration for those fishing in the adult division is $35, with a special price of $10 available for youth division entrants 15 and under.
All youths will receive a prize upon registration, he said, adding the youth division also features 100 percent payback.
Adult entrants will be taking their shot at nearly $20,000 in cash and prizes with $1,000 awarded each hour for the top three fish during that hour. A $100 cash prize will also be awarded to the angler catching the largest walleye of the day and the largest pike of the day. Mountings for those fish have been donated by Three Rivers Taxidermy and Natures Trophies.
On top of all of that the tournament will also include nearly $15,000 in door prizes, with two cash prizes of $2,500 and a wacky hat contest among the offerings.
Anyone, except for youth entrants has a chance at those if they catch any fish or not, Mr. Gagner said.
Door prizes, as well as the tournaments other prizes will be awarded at Sandy Beach at 4 p.m.
Other sponsors for the tournament include Budweiser, Subway and FISHCAP.

The Sun Advocate sponsored project to make sure no grave in the county's cemeteries is without at least one flower this Memorial Day is moving ahead at full speed due to the help of schools, service groups, religious organizations and individuals.
Over 2000 individually- made flowers have come into the newpaper's office already and materials for 10,000 more are out in the field, some being made this very moment.
The project called "No Grave Unadorned" includes not only making the flowers but finding volunteers to help place them on grave in cemeteries across the county the week before Memorial Day.
Each day more flowers come into the Sun Advocate office and they are placed in plastic buckets that have been donated by Sutherlands and stored for placement later this month.
To keep track of the numbers of flowers made and brought in, each issue of the Sun Advocate will have the Flower Vine printed in the far right column of the front page showing how many flowers have come in. It is estimated that 20,000 flowers will be needed to place one on every previously undecorated grave.
Anyone wishing to donate their time to make flowers or to place them on graves the week of May 22-31 can contact Shayla Winder at 637-0732.

Cingoranelli Leads Women's Soccer to 4-0 Win over South Dakota
OMAHA, Neb. - Senior Lauren Cingoranelli notched two goals and an assist to lead the Creighton women's soccer team to a 4-0 win over South Dakota on Friday, Sept. 13.
The win lifted the Bluejays to 5-2-0 on the season, while South Dakota fell to 3-2-2 overall.
Cingoranelli put the Jays on the board in the 28th minute, via a pass from junior Stephanie Anasi. The play began with freshman Paige Jarsombeck, followed by sophomore Kirystn Corder firing shot at South Dakota goalkeeper Viktor Mackenzie. Corder's shot deflected off Mackenzie to the right of the box. Anasi one-touched a soft pass to Cingoranelli, who fired in the goal from 12 yards away.
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/34GSESEAm1I" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
The score remained 1-0 through halftime and into the 48th minute, when Cingoranelli took a pass from sophomore Alissa Kohmetscher at the center of the box and blasted the ball home to make it 2-0.
Creighton's two goal advantaged appeared to be threatened in the 78th minute, but a South Dakota goal was nullified by an offsides penalty.
The Bluejays put the match away in the final ten minutes, getting goals from freshman Ylenia Sachau (assist to Cingoranelli) and Corder in the 88th minute on a corner play from freshman Emily Roll.
The Jays outshot South Dakota 20-10 in the match, including 12-4 in the opening period. Creighton held South Dakota without a corner, edging that category 4-0.
Creighton returns to the pitch on Sunday, Sept. 15 as the Jays host Montana at 1 p.m. in Morrison Stadium.

In Tom Mccourt's "The Bennett factor in play" (Sun Advocate, May 18), Uncle Spud dialogues about the "will of the people" and how the "people we elect are supposed to represent us". I couldn't agree more wholeheartedly.
Lately though, it seems that the tea and coffee parties have self proclaimed themselves to represent the will of the majority of Americans. The one trait that the two parties share is a large consensus of people who are fed up with the way our country is ran. Again, the country couldn't agree more.
But instead of infighting and moving further to the right and left respectively, they ought to be galvanizing behind what is our only possible choice to make the true voice of the people be heard: The National Initiative for Democracy. The NI4D aims to "permit the people to make or change laws by initiative at all levels of government including at a federal level". Essentially it allows registered voters to become lawmakers, forcing the suits on Capitol Hill to bend to the will of the people.
They might not be the most politically enlightened group, but imagine if the 37 million Americans who voted for last years American Idol were instead creating new laws and reforms. Imagine if that number were doubled. Would that be considered the "will of the people", or would we still find something to gripe about?
Uncle Spud proclaims the Constitution to be a "living document." The Ni4D "permits the people to amend a constitution by holding two successive elections, more than six months but less than one year apart" If that wouldn't shock an otherwise lifeless Constitution back into a living state, what would?
Definitely not a slew of career politicians.

In their final preseason game of the season, Carbon played host to a scrappy team from South Sevier. It was a game that saw a lot of offense, including three balls that sailed over the fence before all was said and done. But in the end it was South Sevier that prevailed with a 14-12 win over the Lady Dinos last Wednesday afternoon.
Kensey Cave took the mound for the Dinos and did not have her best stuff according to Coach Tony Pinedo. But he also felt like she gave it her all and after three the game was knotted at four runs each.
Carbon grabbed the lead by a run in the fourth, but South Sevier reclaimed it with a pair in the fifth and three in the sixth. Down by three, the lady Dinos exploded in the bottom half of the sixth to put up seven runs and were hoping to close out the seventh and take home the win. But South Sevier was not done and they send three over in the final frame to retake the lead. Carbon, bats had used their pop in the sixth and they could not push anything over in the seventh and left with the loss.
Megan Tubbs hit a homer for the Lady Dinos in the game. Her shot took out a spectators windshield in the process. Nikki Williams, Kylee Lessar, Briannne Vogrinec and Darian Smith each had an extra base hit in the game as well.
"You always would rather have a win, but I have no complaints about the way our girls battled back in this game," stated Coach Pinedo after the game. "We started off slow, swinging at bad pitches, but then we settled in and played a great team game."
The team will have played their first region game against ALA on Monday, March 29. Scores were not available at press time and will be in a later edition of the Sun Advocate. They see action again on Tuesday, April 6 with another home game They will be taking on region foe Wasatch at 3:30 p.m. on the Dino softball field.

Hello. Following up on the excellent thread from December (http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=71457), I'm wondering if anyone has tried the H600. I made my way over to the candlelight forums, but I already fell down the BPL rabbit hole, and don't think I can handle another. :)I'm looking to replace my BD Storm, which has been nice but I now find too bulky. I know the H51 is probably the most popular, but wanted to take a look at all options. I do like the red light mode of the Storm, but I'm okay loosing that feature. I'd rather have a spot over a flood, though most of my use is camp chores (seems like a low light mode on any of the models is sufficiently floody). I'd also love to hear feedback on neutral vs. soft white and any other options. If I end up buying a steripen (that's a thread for another day), I may opt for the model that uses the same batteries.Thank you.
All 18650 base lights are HEAVY. I have H60W and SC600.I like very much H31W. Not narrow, not wide, just universal.Warm light is much nicer, even if a bit less powerfull.I have also H51R (red), but don't use it a lot.The winner is H31W. Very universal, CR123 based.
I love my H51. The output settings are really nice, and really let me dial in my needed amount of light.It's very powerful and reasonably light. If you're also getting a Steripen, then I see how the CR123 model would be attractive. A word of caution about that though... Bring extra batteries for the Steripen!
Most all of my electronics use AA batteries, Sterpen and Zebralight included.CR123 may be smaller and lighter, but you are going to probably carry more spares. This is especially true if your resupply options aren't so great.
well, not a problem with H31W:Light OutputHigh: H1 189 Lm (0.9 hrs) or H2 103 Lm (2 hrs) / 4Hz StrobeMedium: M1 37 Lm (12 hrs) or M2 21 Lm (23 hrs)Low: L1 4.3 Lm (3.7 days) or L2 0.4 Lm (21 days)I usually use M1/M2, 12/23 hours for camping is a huge amount of time, so one CR123 for a 1-2 weeks trip is just ok.
I long ago dropped into the CPF rabbit hole - and have too many lights to prove it.Anyway - relevant to this forum - the H31W is fantastic. I went through a AA consolidation phase but just didn't like the available lights as well - or their form factors - so I'm generally a CR123 light person in flashlights and in this case headlamp (I use a handful of Photons - but have a bunch of other 2016/2032 devices mostly bike computers so I don't have to buy a bunch of different cells). I mostly use RCR123 rechargeables - ability to use them is one but not the only factor in my light choice. I do us 18650 cells in a couple larger lights in place of the 2xCR123 form factors (mostly a modded Surefire 6P) - but it is a big cell and heavy as well. I can't see using a headlamp with one.I also have a Steripen that uses CR123 including rechargeables. I haven't as of yet gone on any long hikes - so battery power is less of an issue - but the benefit of rechargeables is that I can top them off and know they are at full strength before I leave for a trip. The H31W for me is about ideal - 6 great levels of light - super small and light form factor - comfortable headband. It's hard to beat I think.
I have the H51, and the light is a little harsh when it manages to get in your eyes (or your girlfriends). Yet, I don't know if I would want to go with anything more subdued and lose trail visibility. Thinking about making some type attachment to diffuse the light, and take it off when I need the unadulterated beam, but I'll probably just continue to think about it. Went with the AA, because the only other electronic device I take is a GPS that uses those... also really liked the high potential availability of that battery (especially in my junk drawer for use in power outages).
I think this makes sense. AA batteries --> gps model, mp3 model, water treatment, headlampCR123 batteries --> gps model, mp3 model, water treatment, headlampAnd for hardcore UL:CR2032 batteries --> Photonlight, ...May be this will help to choose electronics for backpacking...
"AA batteries --> gps model, mp3 model, water treatment, headlampCR123 batteries --> gps model, mp3 model, water treatment, headlampCR2032 batteries --> Photonlight, ... "However, none of this applies to the Zebralight H600 headlamp, which is the topic of this thread.--B.G.--
FWIW, my Eagletac 18650 weighs in at 47 grams.Energizer lithium AAs are spec'd in at about 15 grams. As someone mentioned, 18650s, which are used to run the Zebralight SC600, are heavy. Relatively speaking.
But the whole sc600-135gCr123-17gWhole H31w with headband-72g
Thanks for the insights. I definitely want to stay consistent with my batteries. The good news is that I haven't bought a Steripen yet.* I thought all Steripens used CR123 batteries, but I now see that they do have AA models available. Starting from scratch and having the option to choose a battery standard, is it safe to say that the AA is more sensible because of the availability despite the weight penalty? Or is CR123? I know the internal USB recharge option on the Steripen is probably not a good idea... *Btw, I'm in the Sawyer/Steripen rabbit hole as well. I'm planning an international trip so I thought a Steripen would be helpful to handle international water treatment issues. But that is a thread for another day.

I have the adventurer with CR123 batteries but it's easier to find AAs obviously when you are hiking or traveling overseas. My input for your future thread (I'll take the liberty of going off track since you are the author of the OP) is that you'll need to do something in addition to filtering water (UV or chemical). Pakistan KOd me for a solid month and I was hit to a lesser degree for ~ 1 week after catching a stomach bug in Cambodia from drinking re-bottled water from a restaurant (some people would call this a run on sentence but hey, go big or go home.) Germane to the OP, CR123 is fine for my travels which are ~ 1 week whether it's in the woods or overseas. If I was taking off for a through hike or an extended trip overseas where the water is questionable, AAs all the way.
I have had the H51 and H600, and I can say they are different tools for different uses. The H51 is super versatile and puts out a bit of light when you need it but the H600 is in a completely different ball park and allows you to actually enjoy walking at night rather than just getting by (with the H51). With the H600, I have gone night time skiing and mountainbiking, which I simply wouldn't attempt with the H51.
The thing that moved me towards AA battery as my standard was tha fact that I was often stuck having to resupply at places where AA and AAA were the only options. Many gas stations and remote convenience stores carry a limited choice of batteries, and often only in an alkyline version.So it depends on where you hike and how long you are going to be out.
Off subject:-(Steripen or boiling are probably the safest way to treat water in many places. Filters do not block viruses and chemicals take a very long time to work on some of the bigger parasites.
Thanks for all of the feedback.Sounds like AAs are the way to go, making the H51w a logical choice. What is the difference with between the H51 and the H502?
My guess, maybe it is just a newer version of the same thing. Primarily little lighter, and they recessed the switch to help prevent accidental power drain.Site says...What's New:Record breaking 260Lm ANSI from one AA Eneloop (more output with Energizer L91 lithium)Record breaking 3 months runtime at min output (longer runtime with Energizer L91 lithium)All levels are current regulated.Battery capacity indicator (LED flashes 1-4 times. 4 short clicks to start)Low battery alert when the light is switched Off (LED flashes every 80 seconds if the battery voltage is below 1.06V)Programmable M2 and L2LED driver circuits sealed completely from the battery chamberUnibody design (improved from the H501, similar to the H51)Recessed switch (improved from the H51 and H501)11 mm shorter than the H51 and 7 gram lighter than the H51GITD 'reflector'
Edited by Beeen on 03/05/2013 20:48:12 MST.
I have a Zebralight H600 and love it, but it is overkill for general backpacking. I also found it a bit heavy... not as in too heavy to pack/carry, I can deal with that, but too heavy to hang well on the provided strap, which is a simple, but nice, elastic headband. Tight enough to not keep slipping down my forehead is tight enough to give me a headache. I ended up using a spare Zebralight strap to add a top strap front to back.
Note that the runtimes/ouput for the H51/H502 are with a rechargeable eneloop while the H31 is with non-rechargeable lithium batteries. Specs note that H31 runtimes are much lower with rechargeables. Even though I usually carry a steripen, I still went with the H51 for this reason.
Thanks, Brendan. Is there any advantage of the CR123 Steripens over the AA ones? Seems like the CR123 ones are more popular.
CR123 Steripens are lighter.
Thanks, Steven. That makes sense. I don't see an H502 version of the H51W. Is the H502c High CRI Neutral White similar? Seems like the only 502s available now on the Zebra site are flood...
Well this thread has turned into a battery discussion, but I do find the comments "illuminating." I connected offline with BPL member Ben who travels extensively internationally and uses a Steripen Adventurer. He says one set of CR123 lithium batteries can last him 1.5 to 2 months of daily or near daily use. While Brendan raises a good point about the superior runtime of the AA model Zebralights (the same applies to the AA Steripens that last twice as long), I do wonder if the smaller form factor and ability to carry a spare battery favor the the CR123 models.
I'll say as a flashaholic that the cr123 cell has a significant following in the light world mostly because in the size/power equation it is the best cell. The brightest and lightest lights almost always use them. Some of that stems from surefire who dominantly use the cr123. And high end lights like mcgizmo as well.None of which necessarily translates to lightweight backpacking other than cr123 lights will generally be smaller lighter and brighter than single cell aa lights (14500 compatible lights excepted). The cost is usually runtime as the larger aa has a higher power density. Of course an 18650 has even more power reserves and output... but much larger.Ultimately you need to pick what you are comfortable with based on your needs. I'd likely not through hike the at with a cr123 light but am comfortable in week long settings - my modded Novatac will run for more than 30 days at the lowest level which is fine for around camp activities if not hiking.

The non-government-backed digital currency known as bitcoin (BTC) has soared to prominence in recent weeks after a meteoric rise in value from less than $50 to over $250 in just days followed by a devastating crash back down to about $85 today. Amid the wild volatility, analysts and experts weighed in to speculate about what may be going on, with some seeing bitcoin as the wave of the future and others downplaying it as a potentially interesting anecdote for historians to examine that is unlikely to displace establishment currencies.
Bitcoin supporters and users come from all across the political spectrum, but the cyber currency is especially popular among libertarians, anarchists, and advocates of limited government. One reason for that, according to experts, might be because bitcoin offers a decentralized and supposedly anonymous way to do business — allowing users to purchase everything from drugs and guns to pizza, cars, and even hotel rooms online.
Another plus for anti-establishment types is that the bitcoin system largely bypasses big banks and especially government-backed central banking currency monopolies like the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank. While the supply of fiat dollars or euros can be expanded indefinitely — surreptitiously robbing all holders of the currency — the amount of bitcoins in circulation is strictly limited.
While the market for bitcoins remains relatively small so far, its growth has been phenomenal, according to experts and people who use it. Facing increasingly fierce economic crises, people from Argentina to Cyprus have been pouring money into the digital currency in recent weeks and months — many as a hedge against inflation and a novel way of protecting wealth. That trend is expected to continue, though the regulatory environment remains somewhat uncertain.
"I do believe in BTC," Executive Editor of Laissez Faire Books Jeffrey Tucker, a prominent free-market thinker who has come out strongly in support of the digital currency, told The New American. "Central bankers might be nervous. As for government, BTC puts regulators in a hard position. Do you warm to it and tax it — this seems to be the current way— or try to stamp it out? So far, we are seeing a tolerance, mainly because it is already too big and too functional."

But right now it's Dickey/Thole/prospect (told not elite) for d/Arnaud/Syndegaard/Buck/prospect (told not elite) #Mets #Bluejays—
Joel Sherman (@Joelsherman1) December 16, 2012
So, that's clear enough. Lets go to the internet for a few more scouting reports. Part 1 is here.
Again, d'Arnaud and Syndergaard immediately become two of the Mets' top three prospects. I have the top three ranked d'Arnaud, Wheeler and Syndergaard.
Baseball America
BA ranked d'Arnaud as the Jays' #1 prospect after the 2012 baseball season. Nathan Rode wrote in part:
D'Arnaud has the tools to become a big league all-star if he can stay healthy. He's a rare catcher with the potential to be an above-average hitter with plus power. He doesn't walk much but makes consistent hard contact, getting hits even when his timing is off or he gets off balance. He has the bat speed and strength to hit plenty of homers and lets his power come naturally, employing a short stroke and all-fields approach. …. D'Arnaud made good strides with his defense in 2011 by working with then-New Hampshire manager Sal Butera, who caught in the majors for nine seasons. ….He has average to plus arm strength and has refined his footwork and throwing accuracy. He's a solid receiver who moves well behind the plate, and he's a good leader who works well with his pitching staffs.
Keith Law had d'Arnaud as his 5th-best prospect in baseball in his midseason update, writing:
It's possible, even likely, he is always going to be an injury-prone player, one who is great when he plays but won't average 140 games a year the way you'd want.
Before the season, while ranking d'Arnaud, his top Blue Jays prospect, and #6 overall in baseball, Law wrote:
a plus defensive catcher who produces across the board on offense.
The two big keys for d'Arnaud in 2011 were staying healthy — which he did until he tore a thumb ligament while playing for Team USA in October's World Cup — and starting to grow into his power, which projects as plus, 25-30 homers in a full season of catching down the road.
In reference to Law's comment, d'Arnaud's injury list includes:
2010 – Lower back ailment (held him to just 71 games)
2011 – torn ligament left thumb Team USA (surgery 10/11)
2012 – torn posterior cruciate ligament left knee (held him to just 67 games)
Baseball America had Syndergaard ranked as the Jays' #3 prospect ater the 2012 season.
Their scouting report:
Syndergaard's big frame gives him an imposing presence on the mound, and his fastball only adds to it. His heater ranges from 92-98 mph with excellent downward angle and armside run. His curveball has gained velocity since he signed and now sits in the mid-70s with downward action. It's inconsistent and eventually may develop into a slider, but it gets outs and features good spin. He maintains his arm speed well on his mid-80s changeup. He has very good body control for his size, which leads to quality command and control.
Note that Baseball America's report is not consistent with Lansing pitching coach Vince Horsman who told Jaysprospects.com that Syndergaard was working on both a slider and a curveball in 2012.
"At the beginning of the season, Noah was a fastball, change-up guy. We implemented the curveball into his game and that was okay, but then around the halfway point we added a slider and the slider helped his curveball. So developing one pitch turned into two pitches so now he has a very good curveball and a very good slider to compliment his change-up.
"Thus, he has now gone from a two-pitch pitcher to a four-pitch pitcher. This was unexpected. I can't wait to see what else the future has in store for him

|What's a spleen good for? Once, it was thought that the five-ounce organ located in the upper left abdomen wasn't that important. Spleens or parts of spleens were regularly removed with little provocation. Now, there's an increasing understanding of the organ's importance as a part of the immune system, filtering blood and removing old blood cells. Writing this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a team of investigators reports that the spleen and the brain may be more closely connected than previously thought. The splenic nerve, the researchers find, can communicate with the vagus nerve, which then serves as a conduit of information from the brain to the immune system. Manipulating the central nervous system may allow medical professionals to stimulate activity within the spleen, producing compounds needed to fight infection. We'll talk with one of the researchers on the project about the work, and what it means.

Night had
fallen in Munising, where dozens of frozen waterfalls and ice curtains
clung to the porous sandstone cliffs of Lake Superior. It was the first
day of Spring.
Well into March, persistent cold weather and
heavy snow contributed to epic late-season ice climbing conditions at
Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
"There's more ice than we can put climbers on up here," said park ranger Bill Smith.
Munising Bay last week, lake ice was frozen solid out to Grand Island,
which is part of Hiawatha National Forest, where a bounty of additional
climbing exists. A 3-day storm on March 20 dumped more than two feet of
snow in the area, Smith said.
These conditions are in contrast to
the same time in 2012, when Michigan experienced an unusually warm
spring, with parts of the Upper Peninsula experiencing warm temperatures
-- into the 70s, Smith said -- in March. Virtually no lake ice remained
and the few ice climbs left were crashing violently to the ground.
But this year, Smith said, things are different.
formations are in and climbing is still very much alive and well here,
so the opportunity will continue for probably another month at least,"
he said.
Spring is a prime time to climb ice. During
single-digit temps of mid-winter, ice is brittle. As the temperature
warms, ice softens, making it easier to climb and more pleasant to
Equipment outfitter Down Wind Sports -- located in
Marquette, about an hour from Munising -- offers ice climbing gear for
rent and lessons for anyone looking for thrills and guidance.
not every trip has to require a walk across an icy bay. Several climbs
exist within a short walk from the Sand Point parking area near park
headquarters and dozens more exist further down the lakeshore.
Smith said visitors should check with the park service for weather and lake ice conditions before venturing out.

It's important to note that these rules were originally designed to cover SAGA into a type of CoC game. The beauty of a classless system is that all PCs are as equal as possible you can completely disregard the rules of class balance and open the door wide open to the kind of characters they want.
Skills: Skills are most often extremely important in classless game and characters without good skills are at disadvantage. For this reason I generally give the maximum amount of skills in this case that would probably be the Savant.
Weapons Skills: It really varies depending on how much combat you want. Generally speaking the middle of the row option would fit the best. If you want a party of elite combatants than give your PCs the maximum most likely that would be vanguard. If you want to PCs to be weaklings than give them the combat skills of the savant or envoy. In my game the PCs were highly trained police officers and I gave them a lot of combat proficiencies, it worked out fine.
Talents: You can forget about class restricted talents and just open, however if a talent has prerequisites you must fulfill all of them. If a talent is restricted to a having a certain number of levels in a specific class ignore that requirement and substitute it with a character level requirement of that same level instead. Class level requirements aren't important here, but you don't want to give the PCs powerful talents faster than they could normally earn them.
Hit Points: In my game which was a horror game I gave the minimal HP (in SAGA that was the scoundrel), middle of the row might be better for most games. There is no reason why you couldn't give max HP if you wanted to.
Defense Scores: Details here are dependent on the final defense system. In my original PCs had 3 defense points that they chose to spend on reflex, fortitude, or will. They could not spend more than two points on any defense score. If we go with a more 4.0 defense score method than the PCs simply pick one defense score to be their 'good defense'.
Bonus Feat: There are two options here. In my game the PCs were cops so I picked out number feats related to police work that they could choose to spend their bonus feats on. It takes a bit of work, but it is not so bad. Option 2 is you just declare that bonus feats are just normal feats and let the PCs go hog wild.
