ANAHEIM – City officials joined with dancers representing indigenous Mexican culture Sunday to dedicate a community garden in what has been viewed as among the most underserved neighborhoods in the city.
The 1,500-square-foot garden was built on a rarely used patch of grass between a family resource center and a playground in Ponderosa Park, a park and school serving a neighborhood of densely packed apartments a stone's throw from Disneyland.
"I'm very proud to have a garden next to where I live that we will help grow and keep strong," said Yasmin Gonzalez, 11. "I've always wanted a garden in my backyard. ...This is like a backyard for all of us."
Ponderosa's garden was the last of the first three in Anaheim's Hi Neighbor Community Garden program to open; the others are in Anaheim Hills and in West Anaheim.
In light of recent unrest in Anaheim, due in large part to a perceived lack of public services in predominantly Latino communities, some said it was the most important garden. And the most warmly received.
At least 150 local residents game out to watch as Aztec dancers lighted incense and prayed over the garden, which includes native California plants and flowers and crops such as tomatoes and peppers that can be harvested.
The 15 wooden planter boxes and soil for the plants and decomposed granite for walkways were paid for by private donors and installed by volunteers.
Volunteers from Disneyland Resort, for instance, partnered with the county's Inside the Outdoors program to help ready the garden. In all, it cost about $10,000.
Anaheim Family YMCA will work with fourth-graders from the adjoining school to water, weed and maintain the garden.
"The community can really take ownership of the garden and work together for a common purpose," said Lori Kiesser, development manager for Inside the Outdoors. "It's a place that promotes healthy fresh foods and understanding science. And is a place to come feel at peace."
Mayor Tom Tait dedicated the garden as part of his Hi Neighbor program, along with Councilwoman Gail Eastman, who initiated the idea earlier this year as a community-building project.
Eastman said she hopes the program can expand to other parts of the city so flowers can bloom where now there is blight.

Voices of dissent are rising, challenging the sacred doctrine of tax breaks for the have's. The idea that giving tax breaks to corporations and those who own them (a double-break in practice) will will magically create jobs for working people, has far too often gone unchallenged. Alan Essig, executive director of the Atlanta-based Georgia Budget and Policy Institute think tank, is a refreshing exception. In an AJC cover story from January 1, Essig levies criticisms at the practice on the state level and challenged the lack of accountability that has historically accompanied it; a fact that even Bert Brantley, Sonny Perdue's spokesman, conceded to.
Although the Bush administration trumpeted the virtues of tax cuts to stimulate job creation and did so more than any previous administration, his job creation record was the worst since Herber Hoover. Still, few ever challenge the practice or ask for raw data supporting its validity. According to the AJC story, Georgia forfeited $265 million in corporate tax breaks between 2004 and 2007. Oddly, as Essig points out, the state doesn't have, nor has any legislator recommended, any empirical evidence that the people of Georgia are getting any return on their investment. Beyond ironic, the practice is blatantly hypocritical. As Essig points out, "We have no idea what the benefits are. We have no idea what the job creation has been. State officials wouldn't stand for that if it were a child welfare program."
The recent bailout of Wall Street merely highlighted a condition that has existed for some time: we spend more on corporate welfare than we do on social welfare, by far. Still, "fiscal conservatives" are never outraged and working people are ignored, with no hope of a bailout. Continuing to provide massive tax breaks can only be justified if evidence exists that the benefits outweigh the costs. Up to this point, nationally and on the state level, there has been no legislative effort to quantify those benefits. The fact is, that for the billions of dollars each year we give to corporations, no empirical data exists regarding job creation.
$265 million is a huge number. What if the state had chosen to directly invest that into its people? How many small-businesses, the real backbone of our economy, would we have created with that, for example? According to the Wells Fargo/Gallup Small Business index study in 2006, small-business owners spent an average of $10,000 to start their businesses. If that same $265 million would have been used by the state for small business creation, about 26,500 new small businesses would exist today in Georgia. Of course, the creation of 26,500 new small businesses, between 2004 and 2007, would mean that hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of new jobs would have been created also.
If government refuses to invest in the people, this much is clear: at the federal and state level, legislators must require documentation concerning jobs created via corporate welfare and create an agency to provide oversight. You know, the kind of oversight that poor people are subjected to when they're forced regularly to talk to case managers about how many job applications they submit. Since the government spends more on corporate than social welfare, perhaps every corporation on public assistance should also check in more frequently. If that doesn't seem at all feasible to law makers, they should simply cease requiring stringent oversight and accountability for social welfare. Fair is fair.

March 16, 2012
TUCSON, Ariz. – Tonight's women's gymnastics competition marks a bittersweet occasion, as this quad meet will be the last time four of Arizona's strongest gymnasts will be competing in the McKale Center. Throughout their careers, seniors Rebecca Cardenas, Deanna Graham, Britnie Jones, and Katie Matusik have made a huge contribution to the Wildcat team, competing a total of 351 routines and amassing a grand total of 3,841.9 points to date.
Individually, these gymnasts have impressive records as well and will each leave their own void in the lineup next year.
The absence of Rebecca Cardenas will be felt on bars and floor, as the Hawaii native was one of the main contributors on these events. During her three year career at Arizona, Cardenas competed in a total of 34 meets, putting up 69 routines and tallying a current cumulative score of 792.525 points. Known for her explosive tumbling and incredibly clean lines, so far Cardenas has posted 23 scores of 9.8 or better, 14 scores of 9.825 or better, six scores of 9.85 or better, three scores of 9.875 or better, and two scores of 9.9 or better, with the highest score being a 9.925 on floor.
"Becca has always exhibited a quiet leadership through example. She always has a smile on her face, and if you give her a correction she will just smile, accept it, and try harder. From a coaching standpoint that's nice to have. We're going to miss her athleticism, her beautiful lines, and her personality. Despite how soft spoken she is, she has a huge presence on this team," head coach Bill Ryden said.
Though vault and floor were her two strongest events, it is hard to determine where Deanna Graham will be most missed, as the all-arounder tallied 1,361.825 points in the 38 meets she competed. Graham has posted 61 scores of 9.80 or better, 48 scores of 9.825 or better, 37 scores of 9.850 or better, 21 scores of 9.875 or better and 13 scores of 9.90 or better, with four scores of 9.925. Of the 19 all-around scores she posted, the Tucson native earned eight scores of 39.00 or better, with her career high an impressive 39.400.
"Deanna is a local kid who became a national level athlete. She truly has made a name for herself within the sport of gymnastics, all while doing it for the school she watched growing up. Deanna has been one of our strongest all-around athletes – it's hard to even describe the hole left by a kid who has put up over thirteen hundred some odd points throughout her career," Ryden said.
Despite battling her body all four years of competition, Arizona legacy Britnie Jones has posted 743.25 points via 44 meets, putting up 74 routines for the Cats thus far. With 20 scores of 9.800 or better, 13 scores of 9.825 or better, seven scores of 9.850 or better, two scores of 9.875 and one 9.90, Jones is the perfect example of not giving up.
"Britnie Jones is certainly a special gymnast. She is a very talented athlete who has been dealing with injuries since the day she arrived, and really has done everything in her power to overcome it, and has done it with a smile on her face and a positive attitude. I certainly appreciate her tenacity to not give up – she could've given up so many times, and the doctors would've let her. She just didn't want to do it, and she truly is a huge asset to this team," Ryden said.
Another huge asset to the team has been Katie Matusik. Though she came into her freshman year with a shoulder issue, and dealt with an ankle injury her sophomore year the Texas native wanted nothing more to contribute. Over the course of her 40 meets and 85 routines put up, Matusik has done nothing but contribute, totalling 944.3 career points so far. Of these points, 38 have been scores of 9.800 or better, 26 have been 9.825 or better, 16 have been 9.850 or better, 11 have been 9.875 or better, and six have been 9.90 or better, with one score of 9.925. Matusik has also been one of Arizona's most consistent gymnasts – only missing four routines in her entire career.
"Katie has never given up. Katie has transformed herself into one of the best gymnasts in the country, and truly is a joy to watch. Katie puts the 'artistic' into artistic gymnastics and not a lot of gymnasts can actually do that. I don't know what I will miss more though: her gymnastics, or her. She is such a special person giving everything she can to the team, and it is mind boggling to think of all of the things she has done for us."
As a whole, the class has made a huge impact and will leave an enormous void upon graduation.
"I can't describe the impact this class has made on the program. This class from start to bottom produced. This class from beginning to end made us better. It is not like it was a class that only had a few successes or only one person contributed – it was everyone." Ryden said, "When you think about how much they are competing this year and the scores they are putting up, as well as what they have done since they've arrived – every one of these girls has competed right from the get-go of their freshman year, and has competed right up until the end of their senior year. That is definitely not the norm. Typically that happens for people, but it is incredibly rare when you are talking about an entire class. It's going to be hard to describe the void left with the absence of these athletes."

I guess it depends on how you look at it–many people might see it as the end of summer – but even though my favorite time of the year is summer – I see September as a time for new beginnings. When we were young, it was an exciting time when you went back to school and saw all your old friends and showed off your new clothes and that great summer tan. But it was also a stressful time when you started a new grade, perhaps went to a new school, had new teachers and had to meet all the new kids in your class. I must say as an adult – I don't miss those first few weeks in September. (what I do miss however, is the previous 2 months of summer vacation!). (more…)

Victoria Hotel get less rain than Vancouver!Monday, October 4th, 2010
Victoria gets less than half as much rain as Vancouver!!
According to the Weather Network, the total annual precipitation (for 2009) is just 557 mm in Victoria, compared to Vancouver with 1,272 mm of rainfall. That's a pretty significant difference! The reason for the dryer conditions is because of the rain shadow effect of the nearby Olympic Mountains in Washington State. This also means that our Victoria hotel gets more sunshine than surrounding areas. With 2,223 hours of sun annually, Victoria is one of the sunniest places in British Columbia, and gets more sunshine than most other cities in Canada except those in the southern Prairies.
As an avid golfer (and wannabe weather gal), I can vouch for the numbers above. I live about 30 minutes up Island and many times I've been ready to call off the golf game because it's raining at my place. But more often than not, it's dry in Victoria.
So attention Vancouverites – the next time you get tired of all the dreary, rainy winter days – take a quick getaway to Victoria. Chances are, you'll be able to leisurely stroll the quaint streets of Victoria, sip on a latte and soak up the atmosphere – all without your brolly!

The Chimney Safety Institute of America has taken one of the boldest steps in the history of the Certified Dryer Exhaust Technician (or C-DET) credential by partnering with the National Air Duct Cleaners Association. The CSIA board on May 23, 2014 approved a first-ever Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between both associations.
NADCA has more than 1,000 member companies with over 1,700 Air Systems Cleaning Specialists, a certification specifically for HVAC system Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration that includes any ventilation/exhaust ducts, except kitchen exhaust.
NADCA's member companies have an estimated 5,000 technicians, many of whom include Dryer Exhaust (DE) cleaning with their duct cleaning services.
"Presently we do not have a separate certification for Dryer Exhaust and do not wish to develop one. The CSIA C-DET certification is an excellent fit for our NADCA members," said Jodi Araujo, Executive Director, NADCA, of Mt. Laurel, New Jersey. "We are looking forward to a fantastic and mutually beneficial relationship."
CSIA's C-DET credential was launched in February 2000 during the National Chimney Sweep Guild convention in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
There are close to 300 industry pros throughout the U.S. who have this credential, many of them certified chimney sweeps. Dryer vents are serviced in order to remove flammable lint and prevent fires, and to assure proper installation of the vent systems.
Under terms of the MOU, CSIA will provide an instructor to present the C-DET review and exam at NADCA's Fall Technical Conference Sept. 18 in Atlanta, Georgia, at the same rate that is offered to National Chimney Sweep Guild members.
CSIA also will make available to NADCA members their online courses at the member price. NADCA will promote these courses as part of its education program.
"We have more than 1,400 professionals who hold the CCS, or Certified Chimney Sweep, credential. We think the number of people who hold the C-DET certification could be just as big, if not larger," said Mark A. Stoner, CSIA president. "We are in the process of preparing to launch a special website, c-det.org, devoted just to C-DET pros. It's an affordable certification and, based on the number of unwanted fires annually because of lint-clogged ducts, it's critically important that homeowners get the information that will prevent an unwanted fire."
Besides the C-DET training in Atlanta, the CSIA will host C-DET Review and Exams on July 30-31 and Nov. 6-7 at the Technology Center, 2155 Commercial Drive, Plainfield, Indiana.
More on the program:
The CSIA Certified Dryer Exhaust Technician® (CDET) program is a comprehensive examination that is administered and graded by the Chimney Safety Institute of America. The examination evaluates a Dryer Exhaust Technician's understanding of the basic information technicians must master to become competent dryer exhaust safety and fire prevention specialists such as:
*Applicable building codes
*NFPA 211 and NFPA 54 standards
*All facets of inspecting and cleaning residential and commercial dryer exhaust systems. - See more at: http://www.csia.org/news/newsarticledisplay.aspx?ArticleID=92#sthash.gax...

Restaurant Owner Isn't Sure Why Everyone Hated Her Nazi-Themed Spaghetti
Tsao Ya-sin, owner of the Italian restaurant Rock Hill in Taiwan's capital Taipei, readily admits she "know[s] little about World War II," but the shortcoming must have seemed neither here nor there when she picked the Third Reich–themed name "Long Live Nazi Spaghetti" for her pasta special because it has German sausage in it and, well, she "wanted to get customers' attention." She's done well: Her noodles have elicited sharp rebukes from Taiwan's Israeli and German embassies, which recommended to Ya-sin that it's perhaps time to review European history. More remarkable, the dish has been on the menu from the start, since last year's grand opening, and Tsao said no one ever complained until the local news arrived. Whatever the case may be, it's undergone a much less offensive name change and is now called "World Champion Spaghetti," to honor the Germany's World Cup victory. [Taipei Times]

When the Colbert Report's Twitter handle @ColbertReport tweeted "I am willing to show #Asian community I care by introducing the Ching Chong Ding Dong Foundation for Sensitivity to Orientals or whatever." An out of context line that parodied the irony in Dan Snyder owner of the Washington Redskins creating a foundation to benefit Native Americans, Suey Park was so offended she created the #CancelColbert hashtag. She called for the show's cancellation.
Apparently Steven Colbert took this matter very seriously or not. In true Colbert style he used his show to address the hashtag. He opened up the tweet following show with a skit of Comedy Central caving to a hashtag and actually canceling his show. He then wakes up from the obvious dream and addresses the camera with "This was close, we almost lost me. I'm never going to take me for granted ever again. The interweb tried to swallow me whole but I am proud to say that I got lodged in its throat and it hacked me back up like a hastily chewed chicken wing. I'm still here. The dark forces' attempt to silence my message of core conservative principles mixed with youth friendly product placement have been thwarted."
After this Suey Park Scandal/debacle in an effort to make sure something like this never happens again Steven enlisted the help of Twitter founder Biz Stone to permanently delete the @ColbertReport handle. If your still yearning for Steven's special brand of Truthiness don't fretlook no further then Steven Colbert's personal Twitter account @StephenAtHome. - Jason Chapman The Baltimore TV Examiner
"When I saw the tweet with no context, I understand how people were offended." - Steven Colbert The Colbert Report

I need to transfer two text files from my local PC to a directory on my server. I use a command sequence stored in FtpCommand.cmd to perform the commands in ftp, using the following command.
ftp -i -s:c:\Telex\FtpCommands.cmd
The FtpCommand.cmd command sequence is:
open ftp.mysite.it

put c:\Telex\dainviare\file1.txt

How do I figure out what is failing? How can I figure out what part of the operation is malfunctioning?

Oregon Hall of Fame Coaching Staff
Dave Roberts
Hall of Fame Inductee
Coach Info:
|Hall of Fame Inductee
|Other Position:
|1994 Inductee, Baseball (1970-1972)
If not drafted high, he confessed before the 1972 selection process, he would play his final baseball season at Oregon. After all, the Ducks had just shared the Pacific-8 Conference's Northern Division crown and prospects were bright. The credentials of the sure-handed 6-foot 3-inch infielder were too glossy to ignore, however, and he was the first pick overall
by the San Diego Padres and selected as college baseball's player of the year.
He hit .370 over his final two seasons, including a .410 batting average with a nation-leading 12 home runs as a junior, and
finished his career with five one-season records and the all-time mark of 81 career runs batted in. He not only played well
as a collegian, but was a star of amateur summer baseball between seasons and starred for the U.S. team in the 1970 World
Games in Columbia. He played 10 professional seasons with four teams as an infielder and catcher.

Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency
Office of Victims' Services Hearings
The Crime Victims Act authorizes the Office of Victims' Services to reimburse eligible crime victims for certain crime-related out-of-pocket losses, when all requirements of the act are met. See 18 P.S. § 11.707.
Following an investigation of the claim and review of supporting documents, the Office of Victims' Services (OVS) makes a determination on the claim whether to grant an award, increase or decrease an award or deny the claim. If OVS is unable to determine if a claim is justified based on the supporting documents, it may direct a hearing before a hearing examiner designated by the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency ("Commission"). See 18 P.S. 11.704.
37 Pa. Code § 411.31 allows the claimant to contest the determination of OVS by requesting reconsideration. OVS will review the request for reconsideration and issue a reconsidered determination.
37 Pa. Code § 411.32 allows a claimant to request a hearing to appeal the reconsidered determination of OVS and clarifies the manner in which the hearing must be conducted.
The hearing is conducted in accordance with Title 1 of the Pennsylvania Code, Part II (the General Rules of Administrative Practice and Procedures) to the extent it does not conflict with OVS regulations.
OVS and claimant may each request subpoenas for witnesses and documentary evidence, present testimony in support of their respective positions and cross-examine the opposing party's witnesses.
The hearing officer liberally allows the admission of evidence, a stenographer records the proceeding and witnesses testify under oath,
Hearings are open to the public except in certain circumstances outlined in the regulations. However, there are normally just a few OVS staff and either an advocate or support person of claimant in attendance.
The claimant has the burden of proving entitlement to compensation by a preponderance of the evidence.
Grants Administration Hearings
Grants Administration regulations at 37 Pa. Code § 407.33 allows for a hearing if a subgrantee wishes to appeal termination of funds. However, no hearings have been held to date. Matters have always been resolved through negotiations.
Deputy Sheriffs Education and Training Board Hearings
Deputy Sheriff's Education and Training Board regulations at 37 Pa. Code § 421 allow for a hearing to be requested by an affected individual or sheriff. However, only one hearing has been held to date.
This agency does not conduct a high volume of hearings. As indicated previously, hearings are held within the Office of Victims' Services (OVS) when requested by crime victims to appeal the decision of OVS regarding the claim for compensation. An interpreter has been needed for only one hearing to date. However, I anticipate there may be a need for an interpreter from time to time in the future.
Glossary of common phrases, terms, vocabulary and acronyms:
- Payment on a claim for compensation.
- Claim for compensation.
- Person filing the claim for compensation.
- Victim's actions contributing to injuries or losses incurred during the crime.
- Non-payment of compensation/denial of claim.
Loss of earnings
- Loss of pay from employer due to crime injuries.

A case is before the Supreme Court of Canada to determine the rights of individuals to express their opinion though it may be hurtful or hateful to others.
Source: CBC News Report: Top court weighs free speech vs. hate protection
As a gay man I have personally experienced the verbal denigration and abuse from others attributable to their deep rooted hatred and ignorance toward those of us that make up the LGBT community here in Canada. To reflect my frustration stemming from the fact that such expression of hatred is still allowed to be present in a country that advocates equality in human rights and acceptance of diversity. I contribute the following:
Free To Hate?
The ubiquitous words that socially permeate
Are derived from a wayward voice of hate
Directed to the general public with intent to instigate
So those of like mind will congregate
The message presented is beyond banality
Focusing on the matter of homosexuality
That broaches the defined line of criminality
When hatefully demonizing people's sexuality
The high-courts are charged to ultimately litigate
Whether another can choose publicly to castigate
With divisive and hateful words to intimidate
For many, a verdict that will assuredly resonate
The true matter is not limiting expression of a point of view
It's the question of how it is conveyed to me and you
It is why books are written and are suppose to do
So others freely decide to read it or just ignore it too
Words composed of hate if allowed to publicly infiltrate
Will only serve to cause pain and segregate
That is why it is important to quickly mitigate
Before such destructive words eventually dominate.

The meeting was convened to discuss the continuing work in UNCITRAL on the development of online dispute resolution (ODR) legal instruments for resolving both business to business (B2B) and business to consumer (B2C) cross-border e-commerce disputes, in anticipation of a sixth meeting of the UNCITRAL working group on online dispute resolution scheduled to take place in Vienna, November 5-9. The working group was established by the Commission in July 2010 pursuant to a U.S. proposal. The UNCITRAL working group is preparing generic ODR procedural rules applicable to low- value, high-volume cross-border e-commerce transactions as well as separate annexes on guidelines and minimum requirements for ODR providers and neutrals, substantive legal principles for resolving disputes, and a cross-border enforcement mechanism.
The Study Group reviewed the current draft of the proposed UNCITRAL generic ODR procedural rules and the report of the last UNCITRAL Working Group session in May 2012. The discussion centered on scope of the claims to be covered, the need for buyers to be provided fair and adequate notice of any binding arbitration agreement whether pre- or post-dispute, challenges to the online arbitrator, standards for resolving disputes including use of the terms of the contract and equitable principles, the need for arbitral decisions to be able to make final and binding awards to ensure effective remedies for the claimant, and protections against fraud and misuse.
No matter was resolved. No report was approved. We anticipate that another meeting will be scheduled in advance of the May 13-17, 2013 UNCITRAL working group session.

Sarah McMicken knew something was wrong with her newborn son, Charlie. His breathing was rapid, much faster than she remembered from when her four older sons were babies. During Charlie's first checkup in January 2009, his pediatrician dismissed it as "just a weird little thing he does."
But the Auburn Township stay-at-home mother's suspicions were confirmed the following week. She and her husband, John, noticed a bluish tinge around the month-old boy's lips and rushed him to Hillcrest Hospital in Mayfield Heights. Charlie was promptly transported to Cleveland Clinic Children's Hospital and diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy, a condition in which the heart's left ventricle becomes enlarged and weak, reducing its ability to pump oxygen-rich blood to the body.
"His heart was so enlarged that it was essentially crushing his left lung," recalls Sarah's husband John, who is CEO of the Evergreen Cooperative Corp. in Cleveland.
After almost four weeks in the hospital, Charlie returned home on a drug that relaxed the heart muscle so it could pump more efficiently. Doctors warned that it was a temporary fix. At some point, the child would require a heart transplant — "pretty scary stuff," John says. They hoped pharmaceuticals would allow him to survive for the next six years; he thrived for almost three.
That surprisingly normal period ended Oct. 3, 2011, when Charlie suffered a stroke, the result of blood pooling in his heart and clotting. Dr. Robert Stewart, a Cleveland Clinic transplant surgeon, joined the team treating Charlie at Cleveland Clinic Children's Hospital that week.
"You can imagine how poorly a heart has to be functioning, that blood can pool and form into a clot in your heart," Stewart says. "It should be vigorously pumping blood out."
It was the beginning of a 286-day hospital stay for Charlie and an anxious wait for a pediatric donor. His months in the hospital included one frightening event after another. Although stronger intravenous drugs improved his condition for a time, it began to worsen again. By mid-January 2012, he was throwing up anything he ate and losing weight at an alarming rate.
"You could count his bones," Sarah laments. "He was like a little skeleton." Feedings via a tube inserted through the nose and down the throat to the stomach were painful at times.
"When [you] don't have enough blood flow to the gut to digest [food], it hurts to feed," Stewart explains. "You know you're close to death when that's happening."
On Feb. 1, Stewart outfitted Charlie with a Berlin Heart, a scaled-down approximation of the ventricular-assist device used by former vice president Dick Cheney.
Unlike the version implanted in adults, Charlie's polyurethane disk sat outside his body, on the abdomen. (Technology hasn't yielded a device small enough to be implanted in anyone younger than a teenager, Stewart explains.) Doctors make holes in the skin to accommodate two tubes. One routes blood from the left ventricle to the Berlin Heart; the other delivers blood pumped from the device to the aorta.
In the days and weeks after the procedure, Charlie gradually began eating again, gaining weight and strength. On April 18, 2012, doctors told his parents they had a new heart for him. He'd been prepped for surgery and wheeled into an operating room when Stewart delivered awful news to his parents. A previously undetected source of infection in the donor made the heart unsuitable for transplant.
"That crushed me," Sarah says. "I crawled in bed, and I thought, I can't get out of bed. I can't go back to the Clinic. I'm done with this."
Fortunately, the setback was temporary. On June 28, 2012, Charlie received a heart transplant from another donor. He went home 17 days later and has only returned to the hospital for two short stints since then. He continues weekly physical and occupational therapy sessions to rehabilitate his left arm and leg. Sarah plans on enrolling him in kindergarten next fall.
"He looks fantastic," Stewart enthuses. But the little boy faces another heart transplant at some point, and 3 1/2 years of regular biopsies, conducted to search for the earliest signs of organ rejection.
"Despite our ability to trick the immune system into accepting transplanted organs, there's a low level of ongoing chronic rejection in all [of them]," Stewart says. "For the heart, it typically manifests in the coronary arteries. They slowly get diseased."
Sarah says she hopes Charlie's story will encourage other parents to consider pediatric organ donation before they're ever confronted with the possibility of losing a child. She says she and her husband don't think about the next medical hurdle Charlie may encounter. "We're just trying to keep him healthy and happy, which he certainly is," she says.
Virginia Gabrie's allergy to cats is so severe that just walking into a home where a cat lived years ago causes a reaction. So she assumed the swollen face and neck she woke up with during a August 2012 motel stay was a result of exposure to the cat hair she saw in the pet-friendly property's lobby. A few days after she returned to her Amherst home, the former Lorain National Bank secretary made an appointment with her family physician, who prescribed steroids.
The swelling persisted throughout the next few weeks, sending Gabrie to the emergency department at EMH Avon Emergency Care Center Aug. 31. The doctor there prescribed stronger steroids at the request of her family physician. The swelling only increased. Gabrie's face and neck became so uncomfortably bloated that she couldn't make her usual preparations for the annual Labor Day weekend cookout she hosts with husband, Dennis.
"When we woke up on the morning of Sept. 3, my eyes were swollen shut," 66-year-old Gabrie says. She headed to the EMH Avon, where Dr. Richard Hausrod, EMH Healthcare's chairman of emergency medicine, was on duty.
Although Gabrie was certain she was suffering from an allergic reaction, Hausrod wasn't convinced. Aside from the swelling, she exhibited none of the usual symptoms — rash, redness, itching, watery eyes, sneezing, difficulty breathing. And the sole symptom she did have wasn't responding to conventional treatment.
"I noticed she had a significant amount of swelling to her shoulders as well as to her neck and face," he adds. "It's not typically something that you're going to see with an allergic reaction."
The CAT scan Hausrod ordered confirmed his initial suspicion: Gabrie had a large tumor, more than 1 1/2 inches in diameter, on the upper lobe of her right lung and a 2 1/2-inch-wide mass in the middle of her chest cavity. Both were pressing on the large vein that returns blood from the upper body to the heart.
"The blood didn't have anywhere to go, like it normally should," Hausrod explains. "It was just much more of a slow trickle."
Hausrod immediately arranged for an ambulance to take Gabrie to EMH Elyria Medical Center.
She was stunned. "I couldn't believe it," she says. "I just kept telling myself, No way!"
Fear set in during the ambulance ride. "I thought, I'm not coming home."
A biopsy revealed the tumors were cancerous — and inoperable. Gabrie underwent 48 chemotherapy treatments over five months at Mercy Cancer Center in Elyria. Thirty-three radiation treatments at Fairview Hospital in Cleveland followed.
Gabrie says she endured "a year of hell," one complicated by back and neck surgeries as well as 10 additional radiation treatments that decrease the likelihood of a cancerous tumor developing in her brain. But the results were surprisingly good. The only remaining evidence of cancer was a small scar on the unaffected left lung caused by radiation therapy. Gabrie recites the comment her oncologist made during a September 2013 appointment: "I never expected to see you in my office a year later."
She met with Hausrod back at EMH Avon to thank him for detecting her cancerous tumors.
"I'm sure someone else would have made the diagnosis ultimately," he says modestly.
Gabrie isn't so sure.
"If it wasn't for him," she says, "I wouldn't be here."
Lyndsey Montanaro's long nightmare began Oct. 1, 2010, with a shot. The Walgreens pharmacy technician went to an urgent-care center seeking relief from a needling pain in her right heel, the result of resuming her treadmill runs after her only child was born.
"I think that I did too much too fast," admits Montanaro, a 27-year-old Brook Park resident.
The doctor gave Montanaro a corticosteroid injection in the bottom of her heel, a common treatment for plantar fasciitis, an irritation of connective tissue that runs from the heel to the toes. When Montanaro returned to the center four days later complaining of increased pain and mild swelling, the physician gave her yet another injection in the same spot.
Unsatisfied, Montanaro made an appointment with a podiatrist the next day. An MRI showed she had several severe stress fractures in her heel bone. The podiatrist referred her to Dr. Michael Canales, a foot-and-ankle surgeon at St. Vincent Charity Medical Center's Spine and Orthopedic Institute. Canales reviewed the MRI, confirmed the podiatrist's diagnosis, and put Montanaro's foot in a compression bandage. Aside from swelling and pain, he saw none of the other classic signs of a bacterial invasion.
"There was no redness, there was no streaking up the leg," he says. "She had no flu-like symptoms, nothing like that."
Five days later, Montanaro awoke to find her bandage soaked to the knee in blood. A resident on duty in St. Vincent's emergency room removed the cast and made a gruesome discovery.
"The entire side of my foot, the outside, was black," Montanaro recalls. The resident saw two holes in her heel and two holes on the side of her foot.
Tests showed Montanaro had developed a severe methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, infection.
"The infection blew out my foot," Montanaro explains.
Canales hypothesizes that the virulent bacillus, infamously resistant to most traditional antibiotics, was introduced deep into the heel by one of the injections at the urgent-care center. Although infection after a properly administered injection is exceedingly rare, Montanaro's case is a reminder that an injection is an invasive procedure accompanied by risks.
"This just shows us the tsunamilike destruction that can occur with MRSA," he adds. The infection was the worst he'd ever seen in a young, otherwise healthy person. Montanaro's entire heel fat pad, a remarkably durable structure that resists shearing forces, had been reduced to the consistency of cottage cheese.
Canales thought Montanaro would lose her foot. "In the back of my mind, I thought that even with heroic efforts, the likelihood of a salvage was extremely, extremely low."
Canales admitted Montanaro to the hospital, where he spent the next 2 1/2 weeks working to save her foot. He ordered intravenous vancomycin, an antibiotic "so toxic that it can induce kidney failure in some patients." He took her into surgery the next day to remove dead skin, fat, muscle and bone, and he repeated the procedure every other day for a week.
The doctor also arranged for hyperbaric oxygen therapy to help speed wound healing. Each morning she wasn't in surgery, Montanaro would lie in a clear, tubelike pressure chamber filled with 100 percent oxygen for 2 1/2 hours. For weeks after she was discharged, she returned to the hospital on weekday mornings to continue the therapy.
"I knew I had to do it, but it was very claustrophobic," she says. "I would sleep. If I opened my eyes in there, I would panic."
Today, Montanaro's heel is slightly misshapen. Her heel fat pad is gone, along with some muscle, nerve and connective tissue. But she has a functioning, relatively normal-looking foot. She can slowly jog on the treadmill and stay on her feet for a 10-hour shift at her pharmacy.
Canales is still awed by the sight of her walking without a limp. "It's a miracle that she can run," he says.
Neither doctor nor patient takes that miracle for granted. In October 2011, a MRSA infection once again flared in Montanaro's heel bone. Canales scraped the infected marrow out of the bone and packed it with antibiotic-laced pellets and cement.
As a carrier of MRSA, Montanaro is more susceptible to developing another infection. Her bone infection is only in remission. The only sure-fire cure would be to remove the heel bone, which would put an end to her relatively active lifestyle.
Both doctor and patient prefer six-month checkups.
"To me, it's normal," Montanaro says.
Donna Kuczynski learned to live with the constant ache in her back, a consequence of arthritis and a narrowing spinal column. The Amherst resident, now 78, ignored her neurologist's repeated pleas to take it easy, even as her legs weakened and she began using a walker. She was far too busy looking after her husband, Ted, who was recovering from complications of a September 2012 hip-replacement surgery.
"I would not admit him to a nursing home," she declares. "Ted was doing so well. He was up on a walker, and he was back into the real world."
But the day came when Kuczynski could no longer ignore her back problems. Last March, she woke up and couldn't move her legs. "I thought I had a stroke," she recalls. Once she realized she could think and speak clearly, move her arms and sit up, she reached for the phone and called friends to help her into a wheelchair and stay with Ted. Then she called the emergency squad.
Kuczynski was admitted to Mercy Regional Medical Center in Lorain. Two days later, she underwent surgery to remove two ruptured disks and secure the vertebrae above and below them with screws.
Dr. Heather Scullin, medical director of Mercy's department of physical medicine and rehabilitation, explains that the disk's eruption — an event that shot its duct-tape-like covering and jelly-like contents onto the spinal cord — was violent enough to cause a true spinal-cord injury. Kuczynski's neurologist believed the damage was permanent.
"He told me, •I do not think you'll even be able to stand up with a walker,' " she says.
Kuczynski quickly proved the doctor wrong. A couple of days after surgery, physical therapists from the inpatient Mercy Rehabilitation Center came to her room and put a walker in front of her. "I stood up," she says. "They were surprised."
Still, her rehab was challenging. The first time she went, a therapist asked her to lift her foot.
"I could not move it," she says. "It was like it was nailed to the ground."
Every day for two weeks, she completed 90 minutes of physical therapy and 90 minutes of occupational therapy. She was also saddled with other health problems, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and diabetes, says Scullin, who oversaw Kuczynski's inpatient therapy. But Kuczynski remained amazingly upbeat — "the bright, shining, positive energy on the floor," as Scullin puts it.
Kuczynski relearned to move around in bed. She used an elevated platform to get out of her wheelchair. She started walking short distances with a walker. Three weeks later, she was released from the hospital.
"I came home on the 7th of April — that was my goal date," Kuczynski says proudly. "I walked into the house. I walked in."
Now, she visits Mercy Health and Recreation Center in Amherst twice a week for 40 to 60 minutes of therapy, ranging from water therapy routines to leg lifts on dry ground.
As a result, Kuczynski can drive a car, pump gas, cook, strip beds and do laundry. She can shop, though getting groceries from the car to the kitchen is a cooperative effort with her husband and their walkers. The list of what she can't do is remarkably short: scrub floors, vacuum carpets, bathe in a tub ("There's no way I can get out") or climb stairs normally. Instead, she traverses a staircase sideways, with both hands on the banister. She credits her physical therapists for her progress.
"They were patient," she says. "And they were certainly willing to cooperate with anything that I said I thought I might be able to do."
Devender Vittedi used to brag that he never got sick. The married father of two is an energetic sort who likes to run, kayak, canoe and play volleyball, badminton and tennis.
At first, the only vice he admits to is a Westernized version of an Indian diet, heavy on white rice, sweets and fried foods. But the Stow resident later adds a troubling transgression: ignoring his high cholesterol and triglyceride numbers.
"I thought, I'm physically active. I'm fit. It's not going to occur to me,' " says Vittedi, a software developer. "Typical male attitude, I guess."
On Aug. 15, 2010, Vittedi found out he was wrong.
His left hand was numb and aching, an aberration he'd noticed after playing volleyball the previous day. "I thought because I was physically active, I either overdid something, or I may have used my left hand more than normal," he recalls.
It didn't stop the right-hander from playing in a singles tennis match during a picnic at a park in Twinsburg. He attributed his uncharacteristic fatigue to the weather.
"I was serving," Vittedi remembers. "[My opponent] hit the return shot, and it just went by me like a bullet. I didn't even get a chance to return it. At that point, I was told that I just collapsed."
Vittedi blacked out. A friend's son called 911 and relayed a dispatcher's instructions for performing chest compressions to his father. When paramedics arrived six minutes later, they discovered Vittedi was in ventricular fibrillation, an arrhythmia consistent with cardiac arrest. He was rushed to University Hospitals Bedford Medical Center, stabilized and flown by helicopter to the hospital system's main campus.
There, interventional cardiologist Dr. Sahil Parikh discovered Vittedi had a complete blockage of the left anterior descending coronary artery, which supplies blood to about half of the heart. The condition is commonly known as the widow-maker. Vittedi's blood pressure was extremely low, and he couldn't breathe on his own.
"I told his wife that even with the best treatment, his chance of survival was still 50-50," Parikh says. "And that's not survival with normal function. It's just survival, period."
By the time Vittedi arrived at University Hospitals Case Medical Center, he was already on an IV of cold saline solution. The medical team purposely induced therapeutic hypothermia, which cools the body to slow the brain's metabolic processes and protect it from oxygen-deprivation damage. "It really has become the standard of care in just the last few years and has dramatically improved our salvage rate for cardiac-arrest patients," he says.
Staffers packed Vittedi in ice while Parikh prepped for an angioplasty. He opened the artery, inserted a stent to keep it open and restored blood flow to the heart. Then he inserted a small balloon pump in the aorta to support heart function and blood pressure.
"It's on a catheter that we can insert, then remove by just pulling it out," he says.
In the intensive care unit, Vittedi was wrapped in a blanketlike device that cools the core body temperature to 91 or 92 degrees. The medical staff induced a coma to give Vittedi a better chance to heal. Doctors gradually allowed his body temperature to return to normal after 24 hours. They brought him out of the coma after eight days.
"He woke up and started asking, •What happened?' " Parikh says. "He was totally neurologically intact. He just couldn't remember the last eight days."
An associate of Parikh's performed a second angioplasty and inserted stents to open two other blockages in another artery. After a second week in the hospital, Vittedi was released. He continued his outpatient recovery at University Hospitals Rehabilitation & Sports Medicine Highlands office in Warrensville Heights, where he completed four months of cardiac rehabilitation.
He also improved his diet. He's stopped eating meat, satisfies his sweet tooth with 85-percent dark chocolate and replaced white rice with a mix of brown rice and barley.
His physical therapists reassured him he could eventually resume his normal activities. He proved them right by completing a half-marathon in September 2012.
Parikh says Vittedi's heart function is essentially normal. He takes three pills a day: a baby aspirin, a cholesterol-lowering drug and a blood-pressure medication. He admits that he has cut corners when it comes to regular workouts, but he maintains his healthful diet. He's kept off 20 of the 25 pounds he lost after the heart attack. When asked if it has been difficult to change his lifestyle, Vittedi doesn't hesitate to answer.
"I have no choice," he says.

Sophomore Lauren Cheadle won the women's long jump with a PR leap of 5.95m (19-06.25), the tenth-best jump in Saluki history.
March 29, 2013
By Tyler Wooten
CARBONDALE, Ill. -- Saluki track and field won two titles at Day One of the Bill Cornell Spring Classic on Friday to inaugurate the brand new Lew Hartzog Track and Field Complex and Connie Price-Smith Throws Area.
At the end of Day One and three events scored, the Saluki men lead second-place Western Illinois 36-20, and the women trail first-place Indiana State 39-34.
J.C. Lambert took his second title of the outdoor season, this time in the discus. Lambert threw a personal best 50.86m (166-10), which pushed him onto the SIU all-time list in the discus at ninth place. Also finishing high in the men's discus were Curtis Wideman (third place, 49.93m/163-10) and Josh Freeman (fifth place, 48.17m/158-00).
Lauren Cheadle also etched her name into Southern's record book with her win in the women's long jump. The sophomore jumped a personal best 5.95m (19-06.25), which pushed her to tenth all time at Southern Illinois. Also scoring for Southern in the event was junior Sarah Rautio, who claimed third place with a leap of 5.66m (18-07.00).
Also adding to the overall point score were chunks of Salukis finishing high in both the women's discus and men's long jump.
In the discus, Ashley Gaston took third place at 48.63m (159-06), and fellow sophomore DeAnna Price took fourth at 46.96m (154-01).
In the men's long jump, Eric Reeves claimed second place with a jump of 7.29m (23-11.00), and Dougie Palacious came in right behind him in third place, leaping an outdoor best 7.21m (23-08.00).
Day Two begins at 9 a.m. with the women's hammer throw.

What to Eat at Sons of Essex, Bringing Even More Specialty Grilled Cheese to the LES
Among other things to eat.
Lower East Side hot spot Sons of Essex has been open for a couple of weeks now, but aside from cupcakes and whoopie pies, we haven't yet mentioned what there is to eat. Grub got its hands on the menus, which rove from the fancy (truffle mushroom pizza) to the creative (Sheperd's-pie empanada) to the straight-up indulgent (five kinds of grilled cheese or six kinds of macaroni and cheese). Also, is the LES becoming some kind of grilled-cheese hub? See all the food options for yourself below.

Lets say we have a particle of mass $m_1$ which has a kinetic energy $W_{k1}$. This particle collides with another same particle. How can i calculate mass $m_2$ and the speed $v_2$ of the particle which is formed out of the colliding two particles?
I know that relativistic preservation of energy $W$ and momentum $p$ must hold and i know these equations:
\begin{align} W^2 &= p^2c^2 + {W_0}^2\\ W &= W_k + W_0\\ W &= mc^2 \gamma(v)\\ p &= mv\gamma(v)\\ \end{align}
My attempt was something like this:
\begin{align} p_2 &= p_1\\ p_2 c&= p_1 c\\ {p_2}^2 c^2&= {p_1}^2 c^2\\ {W_1}^2-{W_{01}}^2 &= {W_2}^2-{W_{02}}^2 \longleftarrow \smash{\substack{\text{Doesnt it hold that $W_1 = W_2$?}\\ \text{Can i cross them out to get}\\\text{the line below?}}}\\ {W_{01}}^2 &= {W_{02}}^2\\ \left(2m_1c^2\right)^2 &= \left(m_2 c^2\right)^2\\ 4{m_1}^2c^4 &= {m_2}^2 c^4\\ m_2 &= 2m_1 \end{align}
Is this even correct? My professor said it is not... Why?

Thanks For The Memories
During the early goings of September of the 2009 Twins baseball season, it looked as if game number 162 (the contest that typically ends the MLB season unless you happen to play in the Midwest) would be a great remembrance of all the baseball that the Metrodome had produced before giving way to Target Field next season. A post-game ceremony down on the field after that game was both parts touching and entertaining, but there was just one problem…the old Dome wasn't done; it would go on to host two more games!
Thus, it never really felt as if the Metrodome got that proper sense of ending as maybe it should have…that moment when you just look around and soak it all in. Obviously, with the New York Yankees celebrating, it wasn't the time for that feeling. That is why I would now like to relive my favorite moments of being at the Dome. Perhaps you will remember some of these as well:
-1990: My first memory of the Dome recalls seeing Kirby Puckett being given the Silver Slugger award for winning the batting title the previous year. While going through the turnstiles that day, I got a black bat "signed" by Puck that I believe I still have stashed away to this day.
-1991: Though most fans may only remember the '91 seaons for Puckett's Game Six and Black Jack's Game Seven, there was also quite a heated race (at least for awhile) with the Oakland A's. Back then, when both teams were part of the AL West division, the A's were the powerhouse team of the circuit. They came into a summer series at the Dome and jumped way ahead of the Twins in every game thanks to the power of guys like Jose Canseco, Mark McGwire, and Dave Henderson (looking back, can you imagine all the steroids coursing through those veins?). However, the Twins scrapped back in every game and won them all. I was lucky enough to be at the one that everyone remembers, where the Twins rallied against Dennis Eckersley (the Mariano Rivera of his day) on a triple from Chili Davis that RF Canseco played like a pin-ball down in the corner. As Jose was bouncing around, a fan overhanging right field chucked an unravelling roll of toilet paper down onto the field, only adding to the mayhem!
-1996-2000: I really began following the Twins with a passion in '96, but from then until '00 the Twins were perennial cellar-dwellers. Not to be deterred, though, my Dad and I would still get down to the Dome a few times each year to watch guys like Bob Tewksbury, Pat Mahomes, Brent Gates, Rich Becker, and Scott Stahoviak (among others) battle to not lose 100 games. I didn't seem to care about the futility, I guess, as I still root-root-rooted for the home team with all I had. The attendance was so poor during those years that one could (and we often did) guy a cheap ticket and move right up behind the infield. Believe it or not, there were no users to stop people!
A more specific game from that time period involves a field trip with my sixth grade class. My exact recollection of the event is understandably a bit hazy, but the Twins were facing Pedro Martinez and the Red Sox. The game went into extra innings, the Twins loaded the bases with no outs, but then two guys (one of which I'm positive was Terry Steinbach) struck out. The next batter then singled to win the game (I want to say it was Pat Meares, but I could be wrong).
-2002: Fifteen innings of baseball against the Atlanta Braves. Bobby Cox got tossed in the first inning, the Twins roughed up Greg Maddux, and Christian Guzman's double off the baggy scored Tom Prince (pictured above) to win it. Once you do the fourteenth-inning stretch, you never forget it!
-2002: With the Twins already having locked up the division title, they hosted the beaten White Sox to close out the season. I was at the final two games, both won by dramatic, late-inning home runs from Bobby Kielty.
-2008: With the Twins needing to sweep the White Sox in the final homestand to stay in the playoff race, they do just that. I was at all three thrillers, but of course momst remember the final contest when the Twins fell behind early but clawed back into it thanks to a dramatic triple from Denard Span. A walk-off hit from Alexi Casilla sealed it in extra innings.
So, those are my fondest, brightest memories of the Metrodome. Though many malign it as a dump and unfit for the National Pastime, it is the only home turf I have ever seen the Twins play on, and no one can take that from me. Though Target Field may prove to be a rousing success (or a miserable failure, whatever the case may be), it will always be the Dome that holds my childhood baseball nostalgia.
The Passing of Mr. Pohlad
(First of all, I apologize for using such an unflattering picture of Carl Pohlad in this post, but you will understand why I made the choice in a few moments of reading).
Yesterday, I heard the news that Minnesota Twins owner Carl Pohlad passed away from natural causes (essentially old age). Before I critique his presence as owner of my favorite sports franchise now and forever, I would like to extend my condolences to anyone who knew Mr. Pohlad on a personal level. From what I have gathered about the man over the years, he was very close to his family/friends/Twins staff/players, so I'm sure they are all grieving his loss right now. Also, I cannot personally begrudge a man who served his country during World War II and, if not for a case of Poison Oak, would have hit the beach at Normandy in 1944.
However, in all honesty, I think that the Twins as an organization are better off in the hands of Carl Pohlad's son Jim Pohlad's hands (and have been for the last few years). There are two reasons why I never really could throw my support behind Carlos as an owner:
First, of course, was his stinginess with his money. Although I don't blame Carl for trying to spend with the big boys (Yankees, Red Sox, Angels, etc.), as do you spend your personal earnings at work (?), he was notoriously one of the more penny-pinching owners of the 1980s and 1990s and severely hindered the Twins' chances of contending any earlier than they did. Pohlad took over ownership of the Twins in 1984, and really only had a few great seasons. The Twins lucked out in 1987 and won the World Series, then (when Carl finally signed a few key free agents like Jack Morris and Chili Davis) put together a solid team in 1991 and again captured the title. However, from that point until the new millennium, Carl refused to spend any money on the team and turned it into the laughingstock of the American League. It wasn't until the early portion of the 21st century, when Carl's involvement in the operations of the team (because of his advancing age) started to be turned over to son Jim, that the Twins really began to aggressively pursue a winning tradition. Before that, Carl was just completely unwilling to "open the purse strings" in the slightest.
Secondly, I lost a lot of respect for the business side of Carl Pohlad on three different occasions. Though, on one side of his mouth, Carl said he wanted to keep the Twins in Minnesota, he came dangerously close to selling out to North Carolina businessman Don Beaver in 1997. Then in 2002, Pohlad conspired with baseball commissioner Bud Selig to contract the Twins franchise and receive a large cash payback from MLB. Luckily, the contraction idea was terminated at the eleventh hour and the Twins (ironically) went on to win three consecutive division titles. Finally, just a few years after that, the Twins again came close to leaving Minnesota when they couldn't get a new stadium. Only a Metrodome lease kept the team grounded.
So, though I don't want to begrudge Mr. Pohlad or his family, I don't think he was a very good owner for the Twins when all is said and done. The last mistake I think he made was not transferring official duties to his son, Jim, much earlier. As pictured above, the last few years of his life were spent with his eyes seemingly "pasted" shut and an inability to even stand up. Running a major league baseball team is a young man's work, and Carl held out a bit too long out of pride.
I think that the Minnesota Twins, overall, are in better hands under Carl's son Jim, who has proven himself very shrewd at balancing the financial aspect while also keeping the team competitive.
DH: (Finally) A Steady Presence
Since the days of "Hot" Chili Davis in 1991, the Minnesota Twins have not had a steady designated hitter presence. Guys like Brian "Buck" Buchanan and Matthew "Crazy Legs" LeCroy were tried for their powerful bats, but quickly discarded due to their inefficiencies pretty much everywhere else. More often than not, a Nick Punto-caliber player was installed in the DH spot, matching up against such DH sluggers as Travis Hafner, Jim Thome, and Gary Sheffield.
In 2008, however, the Twins finally received some steady production from the DH spot in the person of Jason Kubel. Playing roughly half (77) of his 141 games this season in the DH hole, Kubel batted .272 with 20 home runs and 78 RBI in 463 at-bats. Although sharing time at DH with Craig Monroe early in the season (until Monroe played his way off the team with his .202 average), Kubel pretty much inherited the bulk of the DH duty the rest of the way. Sure, Kubel is prone to stretches of ineffectiveness (usually stemming from a loss of confidence that a few days riding the pine will fix), but he also provided support for Mauer and Morneau when they weren't on top of their game.
Of course, under manager Ron Gardenhire, the DH will likely never be taken over by a guy like David Ortiz, as Gardy likes to shuffle the lineup depending on the starting pitchers. Hopefully in 2009, though, Kubel (while still getting spot starts in the outfield to keep his fielding up to snuff) will handle the DH privilege and handle it well. Kubel was once the bluest-chip prospect in the entire Twins organization before injuring his knee in 2004, so I would love for him to finally realize that full potential that scouts once saw in him.

Gas mileage of Toyota Yaris
On my return trip from Pittsburgh today with my new 2008 Toyota Yaris I covered 225 miles with a half a tank of gas (5.55 gallons). That averages out to 40.5 miles per gallon.
My average speed for the entire trip, including some city driving and a 10-min stop, was 60 m/h. The sticker that came with the car gives the average highway gas mileage as 35 mpg with a range of 29 to 41 mpg. According to the U.S. government figures, the average highway gas mileage for the 2007 Yaris is 36 mpg.

All the details you could ever want about the design of the new Santa Clara Stadium...
It looks like they actually moved the site tho. It was supposed to be on the other side of that creek (the treeline in the lower left of the first pic). They moved it right next to the existing 49ers Facility....4949 Centennial. It now looks like one big complex.
I know there are alot of people who don't like it because it kinda bland, but I personally like it. It reminds me of Lincoln Financial in Philli.
Below is the presentation to the city.
EDIT: Looks like that link is now dead. I found something similar, but not the exact same PDF...
EDIT AGAIN: Found a Page with a number of Site Plans. Very cool, but hard to read.

I've written a little utility in haXe + Neko that needs to execute some GIT commands. To avoid hardcoding the path to the GIT executable I'd like to use the which command to find out where it is. Everything works as expected when running manually from the console, but not when the the app runs on a cron job.
I'm aware of the restricted environment (here or here) when you run a script using cron, but still surprised this doesn't work:
/usr/bin/which git >> /home/user/git.txt
The text file is created but the content is empty. Again, when run from the console it works as expected.
Any ideas? I'm running OS X Leopard, if that helps.
Thanks : )
