Usually go round and round, except when they start to come off. The San Francisco Giants' bus is starting to wobble, and without panicking or jumping to baseless conclusions, it is legitimate to start asking what is going on with this team.
Normally, the end of May is a good time to step back and see where the season is at; one third of the games are in the books, and those uncertain early season trends around the Majors start to look and feel more real. Come August, those realities take on the look of history etched in reinforced concrete (unless you're the Mets).
We are about two and a half weeks and some 18 or so games away from that one-third-of-the-way reality check, but we'd better take a look at the Giants right now because they are a couple of losing series away from starting to disappear into the netherworld of the National League West.
Here are some numbers, a managerial critique, and some other stuff I'm sure the Giants' front office will be happy to take full responsibility for:
The Numbers
SF Giants runs scored – out of 30 MLB teams
2007 – 29th (683 runs)
2008 – 29th (640 runs)
2009 – 26th (657 runs)
2010 – 21st (144 runs)
So far in May, the Giants have scored 3.55 runs per game. They're at 4.36 for the year, so that May number reflects a serious downward trend from their early season offensive successes. The team is reverting to its clichéd profile of great pitching, little run production, and no power.
The Manager
>During the 4th inning of the Wednesday May 12th game against the San Diego Padres, the Pads were up with two out and a runner at second base. With first base open, Bruce Bochy inexplicably chose to pitch to the number eight batter, Jerry Hairston, Jr., who promptly hit a double to score the runner. Two innings later, the same scenario; but this time Bochy walked the number eight batter with two out and a runner at second. The pitcher then struck out to end the inning.
>As Pablo Sandoval goes through the worst batting slump of his young career, Bochy repeatedly told reporters prior to last Sunday's game with the Mets he was going sit Sandoval down to give him time to regroup. But Bochy never sat Pablo down, and in the following four games Sandoval went 2 for 16.
>During the 5th inning of the first game with San Diego on Monday, Pitching Coach Dave Righetti went to the mound to talk to pitcher Barry Zito. Right after Righetti returned to the dugout, Bochy decided to take Zito out of the game and he headed out to the mound to remove him— but you can't visit the mound twice during the same at bat, and Bochy had to turn back. Zito was then removed between innings.
>On April 30th, Manager Bochy moved catcher Bengie Molina from the sixth spot in the line-up to the clean-up spot (dropping former #4 batter Aubrey Huff to 5th). Molina batted fourth the previous two years in a line-up that was one of the worst run producing units in the Majors. And while Molina is a superb clutch hitter and a Mount Rushmore-like personality in the club house, his low on base percentage (.285 in 2009) and lack of any speed essentially clogs up the Giants' hitting attack in mid-line-up every game.
>The pitching management has at times been abysmal. Tim Lincecum was taken out of the April 28th game in the 8th inning leading the Phillies 4-1 with 11 strikeouts after throwing only 106 pitches. Brian Wilson, who's job is to close out games in the 9th inning, was put into the game with one out in the 8th and the Giants proceeded to lose.
Sergio Romo probably needs some time out of the 8th inning set-up man role after giving up three late inning home runs so far this year (Romo gave up one home run all last year), but Bochy is determined to keep Romo in that role. The team continues to pitch Todd Wellemeyer in the fifth spot in the rotation despite his 1-3 record. And Wellemeyer could actually help this team from the bullpen.
Bruce Bochy is a steady, reliable Major League manager who will get steady, average results. But in the past two years this team has not been average, it has been unique and dynamic. Giant pitching is among the best in the game, and the elements of a viable offense finally seem within reach, but the team shows signs of regressing with every passing week.
The tipping point: this team has passed Bochy by, and his skills no longer match what the team is capable of achieving in 2010. On the field, there is confusion and a conservative approach to every aspect of the game where there should be flexibility, creativity and leadership.
The Front Office
Each of the past four years, the Giants front office has attempted to patch together just enough offense, crossing their fingers that, a) mediocre players who used to be good; b) older players; and, c) good players recovering from injuries, might somehow produce enough runs for a winning season. Needless to say, that strategy has been a dismal failure:
2007 – last place, 91 losses
2008 – 4th place, 90 losses
2009 – 3rd place, 74 losses
Oddly enough, in the midst of this penny-pinching approach, the team still managed to enter into an amazing number of really terrible contracts, Edgar Renteria's two-year $19 million 2009-10 deal being a standout. In 2009 alone, the Giants paid Dave Roberts $6.5 million, Randy Winn $8.25 million, and Randy Johnson $8 million— that's over $31 million for four marginal players (at that point in their careers) on a third place team. The previous two years featured an even worse line-up of bad contracts with marginal players.
The 2010 line-up has also featured several players who simply do not belong at the Major League level right now. Eugenio Velez was just sent down to Triple A, but Travis Ishikawa remains on the twenty-five man roster, while hitting phenom Buster Posey bats .355 with a 1.026 OPS at Fresno.
And then there is medical-gate. In the past ten months, the Giants have had to deal with unexpected medical issues sidelining newly signed players. The most recent problem involves left fielder Mark DeRosa, who the Giants signed as a high profile free agent for two years at $12 million. DeRosa recently called last year's surgery on his left wrist "a total failure"; he may have to have additional surgery and miss much of the 2010 season.
Second baseman Freddie Sanchez, who the Giants also signed for two years at $12 million, has yet to play a game in 2010 (although he's due to be activated in a few weeks). His torn shoulder labrum was supposedly repaired in the off-season, except that Sanchez apparently had additional surgery and didn't inform the Giants. (You may recall the Giants traded their second best pitching prospect, Tim Alderson, to the Pirates to rent Sanchez for the last two months of 2009.) Who is utilmately responsible for making sure these big contract players are healthy and able to play?
For the San Francisco Giants, the lack of power on the field has been evenly matched by a lack of power from management. Ownership has not provided coherent direction and leadership for this franchise over the past four years. Amazingly, the abundance of talent and grit on this 2010 team still may be enough to break through this year and drive hard enough to take first place in the NL West.
But no doubt it's going to be a very wild ride on a very wobbly bus.

Founded in 2009, San Francisco is G4G's first satellite chapter. We are a group of approximately 1,200 volunteers who donate time and energy, once a month, to a variety of social welfare and environmental service projects. We usually draw 50-60 people for three to four hours on the third Saturday of the month to work on a project. There is no money involved – we donate our time. The goal is community service.
Past volunteer projects include rejuvenating parts of the SF Zoo; repackaging donated food for the Food Bank; trail building in Golden Gate Park; working on many habitat projects for the Presidio Nursery; restoring native species along the coast; painting and performing minor repairs at special education schools; clearing lots in blighted neighborhoods to create community spaces; working on projects for the AIDS Memorial Grove; and sorting books for The Friends of the Public Library.
Join us and help out at a service project. Participate when you want; there is no on-going commitment!
We do good and always have fun while doing it.

Back when communities all across the land were scrambling to receive hordes of Katrina evacuees, I sounded a note of caution to some of my eager colleagues and to some of our local disaster planners.
Most of the displaced people heading our way turned out to be sweet, decent, grateful souls who blessed all who offered them a home away from home.
But out of half a million human beings, a certain percentage inevitably would be tough to deal with. And some would be downright dangerous. I dared to say so.
We needed to be wise in our efforts to extend care, I warned, lest we expose our own volunteers to harm.
Some who heard my concerns reacted as if I were a cross between Jack the Ripper and Simon Legree. How dare I imply that the miserable masses fleeing the New Orleans floods were anything but angels!
Indeed, some of them were angels. They were precious people who accepted our hospitality with grace and even offered to work alongside our weary volunteers.
But experienced emergency management people in our city knew to be careful. Six of our first 150 visitors turned out to be registered sex offenders. Other cities found fugitives and felons nesting among the strangers FEMA transported to their front door. Now authorities tell us that 2,000 sex offenders can't be found.
My early warnings took on a sinister, almost prophetic tone when headlines told us that a kind 77-year-old church lady in Pasadena, Texas, Betty Blair, was bound, strangled, and left dead in her home.
Police spokesman Vance Mitchell said her three apparent assailants were hurricane evacuees who met Blair when they sought help from the church food pantry where she volunteered.
This was my concern from Day One.
After Katrina and Rita ravaged the coast, we were blessed by a plethora of heartwarming tales of kindness and generosity lavished on the victims. In communities across the nation we saw people opening purses and hearts. We saw Christians at their servant best.
But the same storms also unmasked the ugly hearts of others, as tales of brutality, greed, pettiness and raw viciousness also came to light. The Scriptures teach us that humans are "carnal, sold under sin." All who ignore this truth expose themselves to great risk.

It's always a challenge to get players together for all-star games since they're taken from several schools and have in most cases never played with each other before.
Then there's the case of Sarah Kreusel, who will play for the girls North squad in the Golden Spread All-Star Basketball Tournament despite not representing any "school".
Kreusel was a member of the Amarillo Flames, a team of homeschooled players who didn't play in a recognized district and took on Panhandle public schools whenever they had holes in their schedule. When she steps onto the court against the South squad at 6 p.m. today at the First United Bank Center, Kreusel will make history as the first home-schooled player to participate in the tournament.
In a format where high school referees coach the players, Kreusel, a 5-foot-10 post, caught the attention of North coach Jeff Pervines when he was working one of her games.
"(Pervines) was working one of my games and a few months later I got a call saying I was part of this game," Kreusel said.
"I really hadn't even heard of this game before so I was excited to be a part of it."
It's easy for homeschool players to fly under the radar when it's time to choose all-star teams. Since they don't play in traditional districts, there's not much in the way of video or scouting reports floating around to evaluate them.
That makes it a whole new environment for everyone involved to adapt to.
"It's kind of different for sure but it's exciting," Kreusel said. "It's fun to play with players I've never played with and it's a challenge. I want to prove that home-schoolers are part of the basketball world and I hope that more homeschoolers get a chance to play in this game."
Kreusel isn't the only player from the Flames scheduled to participate, as Michael Kmetz will represent the Flames as part of the boys North team.
Like Kreusel, San Jacinto Christian Academy's Allison Gremillion is playing for the North and didn't totally expect to be there. She transferred to San Jacinto after Arbor Christian Academy closed and ended up playing in the TAPPS 3A state semifinal game.
"I would have had to go to Tascosa and I don't think I could have played varsity basketball so I decided to go to San Jacinto," said Gremillion, a 5-3 point guard who was a TAPPS All-District 1-3A selection.
"We started really rough and I didn't know if we could go to state but we got our act together."

This is just my personal opinion, but I think making ambitious New Year's resolutions is a big waste of time. Most of them don't last as long as a live Christmas tree in an apartment.
Instead, let me share a great idea with you. Father Chris at St. Patrick's Cathedral proposed it in his homily at the Vigil Mass of the Solemnity of Mary Mother of God this past Friday evening.
Take 10 minutes day – at a time of your choosing – with the Bible. Father Chris suggested Matthew's Gospel because we will be reading it a great deal this year. Whether you have a pocket Bible, a web site or a Bible app on your mobile device, keep it close to you. Here's his suggestions for using those 10 minutes with Matthew.
For about a minute, just think about the fact that you are –as we all are at all times – in the presence of God. Then open your Bible to Matthew's Gospel and begin reading it, just a few verses at a time. Take about four minutes to read it slowly, maybe more than once. Then, for the next three or four minutes, just open your mind to the Spirit of God and think about what you have read and what it means to you. Finally, say a meaningful Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6: 9-13).
That's all. Just about 10 minutes could make all the difference in how you live each day this year.
Of course, if you are interested in a more in-depth look at Scripture, be sure to check out The New York Catholic Bible School, which is sponsored by the Archdiocesan Catechetical Office. This will involve a considerably larger commitment of time but if you have desire, do check it out.
And while I am it, may I suggest you circle the date of Saturday, June 25: the day of our second annual New York Catholic Bible Summit. More information will be available shortly on our Catechetical Office website. We've a great line-up of speakers and topics this year.
May 2011 bring you peace and joy.

a person who sucks the energy out of another, usually will find a person with a problem or a tragedy, get them to tell the story and (then) suck the life out of them. Face Eaters are easy to spot...the person who seems to be listening intently to someone telling a personal story, but they are staring at the persons mouth (as if to suck the words out) and they are standing way, way too close to the person speaking
hey, Sally broke up with her boyfriend and is telling her friend Whitney over there in the corner. God! could Whitney be standing any closer to Sally? Whats wrong with Sally's face? What a fuckin face eater that Whitney is!! she's swelling up like a damn puffer fish!

9:04 p.m.: Game remains inside of a five-point margin, thanks in part to a Villanueva runner and then Stuckey hits a layup to make it 89-88, forcing a timeout from Doug Collins. Detroit down just 1 with 6:22 left.
9 p.m.: Jason Richardson up to 10 points after a 3-pointer bounces in and gives the 76ers a three-point lead.
8:57 p.m.: A tip by Knight on a Stuckey miss gives the Pistons a 80-78 lead with just under 10 minutes left. Turner answers with a jumper along the baseline. He's had a nice game.
8:50 p.m.: Philadelphia started with the first 14 points of the third quarter and led by as many as 11, but Detroit battled back to within one. Monroe up to 20 points and Stuckey has 15. Pistons have a 23-7 edge in made free throws. 76ers 76, Pistons 75
8:47 p.m.: Tie game with 1 minute left in the third quarter. Stuckey up to 13 points after a couple of free throws.
8:42 p.m.: Pistons riding Monroe back into this game, and he's delivered. Once he finally missed, Prince was there to clean it up. Detroit still down 3, though, with under 4 left in the third.

8:09 p.m.: Detroit heads to the half with a lead largely due to its success at the free-throw line. The Pistons were 17 of 19 at the charity stripe. Singler had a late 3, but Detroit gave up an and-1 to Maalik Wayns. Halftime. Pistons 49, 76ers 46
8:03 p.m.: Singler rebounds, pushes and then finds Knight for a wing 3-pointer to give the Pistons their biggest lead (45-41). Detroit has a 16-3 edge in made free throws in the first half, too.
8 p.m.: Holiday steals it from Maxiell and gives the 76ers a 41-40 lead with 2:29 left in the first half. Kyle Singler hit his first basket for Detroit, which has just five assists. The Pistons also have eight turnovers.

7:40 p.m.: Stuckey has nine consecutive points for the Pistons, but 76ers still lead 27-23.
7:34 p.m.: Philadelphia finishes the first quarter on a 7-2 run. Monroe (8), Stuckey (7) and Prince (6) have all of the Pistons' points. Detroit shot just 7 of 21 in the first quarter, but only trails by four. 76ers 25, Pistons 21
7:27 p.m.: The Stuckey Spark continues. Hits a hoop and gets the NBA continuation. Shooting a free throw for the Pistons' first lead of the game after a timeout. 2:47 left in the first.
7:26 p.m.: Maxiell up to eight rebounds in the first quarter and Greg Monroe is starting to find some room to operate (8 points). Pistons trail 18-16 after two Stuckey free throws.
7:22 p.m.: Brandon Knight picks up his second foul after a Tayshaun dunk. Rodney Stuckey replaces Knight.
7:19 p.m.: Good block by Maxiell thwarts a Holiday drive, but Detroit still trails 12-8 at the first timeout of the game. 6:04 left in the first quarter. Turner with 5 early points for Philadelphia.
7:15 p.m.: Slow start offensively for the Pistons, but Greg Monroe gives them their second bucket. Evan Turner's 3-pointer gives Philly a 10-4 lead.
7:13 p.m.: Tayshaun Prince opened the scoring for the Pistons, but the 76ers got a jumper from Lavoy Allen, a 3-pointer from Jason Richardson to get out to a 5-2 lead.
The last time the Detroit Pistons visited Philadelphia, they were winless on the season, suffering through an eight-game losing streak.
Detroit's first victory came against the 76ers that night, though, 94-76 on Nov. 14, and the Pistons have won just one other road game since — Sunday against Cleveland.
While the Pistons are 7-7 since that 0-8 start Philadelphia has lost three of its last four games.
Greg Monroe had 19 points and 18 rebounds while Brandon Knight added 15 points, seven boards and seven assists in Detroit's win at Philadelphia last month.

1st Overall Pick (1st Round)
Andrew Luck – Quarterback – Stanford
This pick is a no brainer. Andrew Luck is not only the best QB in college right now, but he's one of the best prospects in recent memory. He's been considered to be the next Peyton Manning. He's the obvious choice, and coincidentally this will be the 2nd time where a 1st year GM will have the first overall pick, and the top player is a QB. The last time it happened was in 1998 with Peyton Manning. Luck possesses a great arm that includes great strength, top-notch accuracy, great mobility, he's smart and he reads defenses. He's one of the best college prospects in the last 25 years. This is one of the safest picks you could make.
34th Overall Pick (2nd Round)
Jayron Hosley – Cornerback – Virginia Tech
The Colts need to spend a high draft pick on a cornerback. The secondary was horrible this year, and it's not good if the Colts only have one good cornerback in Jerraud Powers. They need another good corner who can shutdown number 2 targets. Even if the Colts get an outside cornerback, they can move Hosley to the inside and he could become a very good nickel back. He can play a lot of positions. Cornerback is one of the biggest positions of need on the Colts, and getting Hosley would make it less of a need. Hosley is projected to go in the early 2nd round, so this is the right pick. The Colts biggest need (or arguably) is the cornerback spot. Kelvin Hayden was released last year and Tryon was gone during the season They need some bodies there and some quality. He's quick and had a nice year. The intriguing part about him is that he has a ton of upside, which is something that interests many teams, including the Colts.
Continue Reading…
65th Overall Pick (3rd Round)
A.J Jenkins – Wide Receiver – Illinois
The Colts are thin at receiver even with the addition of Donnie Avery and Reggie Wayne only has 3 years left in his career. Time to find a future #1 or #2 guy that can play right now. A.J Jenkins had a fantastic year with Illinois as he accumulated 1,276 yards with 9 touchdowns. He had a great year with an average QB. He could come in and become a good #2 WR. If he put those numbers with an average QB, imagine what he could do with Andrew Luck, the best QB in college football. He's an average sized receiver with average speed, but he gets the job done. He has good hands and is a good route runner, kind of like Reggie Wayne… Jenkins was originally thought to have gone in the 4th round, but his good combine has made his stock rise.
98th Overall Pick (4th Round)
Michael Egnew – Tight End – Missouri
The Colts currently have no tight ends. Their current starting tight end is Brody Eldridge. With the loss of Clark and Tamme, they need a tight end badly; you can even make the case that it's their biggest need. Andrew Luck loves his tight ends, he always went to them in college. With that being said, Egnew is a great pick here. It's a good value pick and he's a good possession tight end which should help out Andrew Luck a lot.
129th Overall Pick (5th Round)
Brandon Brooks – Offensive Guard – Miami University (Ohio)
The Colts have good depth in the interior of the line, but at RG especially, they have no clear-cut starter. Brandon Brooks is a very underrated guard, who could go higher than the 5th round. He is a tough strong kid who has good footwork. He reminds me of a Jahri Evans or young Brian Waters. He has that kind of potential. If the Colts draft him, he would probably become the RG, and stay there for many years. This makes the OG spot officially a "no-need."
163rd Overall Pick (5th Round) (Compensatory Pick)
Akiem Hicks – Nose Tackle – Regina University (Canada)
I little weird to wait until the 5th round to address a big need like the NT spot. With that being said, look no further than one of the biggest sleepers in the middle rounds: Akiem Hicks. No one knows about him because he played in Canada, but the skill set is there. He's a big guy who has good speed. He really impressed at the East-West Shrine Game practices and impressed many with his impressive 1 on 1 interviews. It should be noted that he played for LSU before leaving in January 2010. He has all the physical tools to be a starter in this league, and he has a good attitude too.
200th Overall Pick (6th Round) (Compensatory Pick)
Chris Owusu – Wide Receiver – Stanford
This is a perfect fit. He's a deep threat and has some good speed. Oh, and he played with Andrew Luck at Stanford, so the two have a great bond. Owusu is a good route runner who is willing to catch the ball in traffic and over the middle. He has a bad history with injuries and in the last 2 years, he's had two below average seasons. He could come in to the Colts and fight with Blair White for the #3 receiver spot. A good trait about Owusu is that he is a dangerous kick returner, which could be great for the Colts, because they suck on special teams. Having Minnfield as the punt returner and Owusu as the kick returner.
202st Overall Pick (7th Round)
Emanuel Davis – Cornerback – East Carolina
Emanuel Davis is the best cornerback on East Carolina. On paper, he's not a very good cornerback, and may not even get drafted, but the fact of the matter is, he's gone up against some really good wide receivers like Alshon Jeffrey and AJ Green. He's slightly undersized, but he has pretty good speed and some good instincts. He's a better prospect than his stock shows; the only reason he's projected to go in the later rounds is because he had a run-in with the law so it hurt his stock. I personally think he has 5th round talent, so the Colts would be getting a 5th round player in the 7th round. This kid has some good upside.
208th Overall Pick (7th Round) (From Jaguars via Jets)
Antwon Bailey – Running Back – Syracuse
The Colts could use a nice running back, and even though they have 3 running backs in Brown, Carter and Evans, Bailey could definitely beat out Evans and even his buddy Delone Carter. Another reason why the Colts should draft Bailey is that he would bring a different kind of style of running to the Colts. He is the "poor man's" Maurice Jones-Drew as Bailey is small and runs with power. He also reminds me of Jacquizz Rodgers, and I'd like to have a Jacquizz Rodgers like player on the team. Tbe only downside with him is that he's very slow, but he plays with power. I think it's worth a shot and he and Darren Evans should fight for the last running back spot.
247th Overall Pick (7th Round) (Compensatory Pick)
Adrien Cole – Inside Linebacker – Louisiana Tech
The Colts lost Phillip Wheeler to the Raiders and they essentially have no depth at the ILB spot. Adrien Cole is pretty athletic and is a good tackler. He isn't anything special, and he'll probably become a backup, but that's what the Colts need, they need depth, not starters at the ILB spot. Adrien Cole is Mr. Irrelevant.

Freshman drawing lofty comparisons
KALAMAZOO -- For once, Bill Cubit couldn't gush about Ansel Ponder's performance.
Ponder, if only for one afternoon late this week, actually resembled a freshman.
It was the first practice, including all of spring ball and the first three days of fall camp, when Western Michigan University's football coach "didn't see a remarkable difference" in his stud freshman wideout from the previous day.
The relative disappointment of only moderate improvement took about a second to fade into a grin.
"I think he's a talented guy," Cubit continued, giving an expression reserved for when he knows he's found something special.
If Cubit is trying to temper expectations for Ponder, he's doing an awful job. Normally careful about over-hyping young players, Cubit gave Ponder a little something to live up to after just two August practices.
"He's got a burst that we haven't had in a while, probably since Greg," Cubit said of Ponder, early last week.
This ain't Greg Marshall that Cubit's talking about.
Around Waldo Stadium, simply saying "Greg" is plenty -- just like "LeBron" and "Tiger."
"He can get fast real quick," Cubit continued of Ponder. "His hands are a ton better (than in the spring). He just puts a lot of time and effort into it."
One week into practice and less than three weeks until WMU's opener at Michigan, Ponder's status as a starting wideout appears almost as safe as Tim Hiller's spot at quarterback.
He's been lined up alongside junior Juan Nunez and sophomore Robert Arnheim whenever Cubit calls for the first-team offense.
"From when he came in to where he is now, you can just ... it's awesome," Arnheim said. "He really put his time in, his film work. He really just wanted to get better.
"Ansel's got a tall, long stride and he explodes off the ball. And he can jump."
At 6-foot-2 and a shade under 180 pounds, Ponder arrived at WMU in January after spending last fall at Hargrave Military Academy, a prep school in Chatham, Va.
Ponder said he didn't show up thinking he'd bolt up the depth chart this fast. But thus far, he's the cream of a receiving corps that, though young, is perhaps deeper and more talented than was expected.
"In the spring, I really didn't know too much," said Ponder, a three-star recruit and native of Bluefield, W.Va. " ... Everybody pitched in to help teach me little things, all the receivers, Juan Nunez, Rob. All the receivers that have been here before have helped me, and that's helped me with my ability to bring what I bring to the table."
Ponder helped himself, too. Cubit said he saw noticeable improvement from Ponder every day of spring practice. Then Ponder stayed in Kalamazoo for the summer, taking part in Hiller's twice-weekly "little football school."
"The first thing that jumped out about him was just his raw natural ability," Hiller said. " ... he didn't know exactly what he was doing. His natural ability, just his vertical leap, the way he ran -- he's extremely fast, caught the ball well and right away. You could just tell he was a raw talent.
"Now he's in a situation where he's getting himself in the right places, and that's what we're going to need from him."

During a long and productive career, first in South Africa and more recently in Israel, Professor Kark has contributed as much to the development of a humane and scientific practice of community medicine as anyone. He has been a practical innovator, an integrator of many seemingly disparate trends in the field, and a profound influence on others, both directly and through his students and followers. His has been a strong, clear voice to many around the world who have found the techniques and attitudes of traditional clinical medicine inadequate to the imperative of improved public health.
I, therefore, approached his new book with some caution: it might not measure up to expectations. You may rest easy. In the ways that are most important, this is an outstanding book and a fine testament to an extraordinary professional and academic life.

Laboratory tests apparently have ruled out one set of suspected chemical pollutants as the cause of the continuing dolphin deaths along the mid- Atlantic Coast, according to New Jersey environmental officials.
But as an answer to the deaths continues to elude researchers, the marine mammals continue to wash ashore. Yesterday, five decomposing dolphins were found in Delaware, and four, including two very fresh carcasses, were discovered on Virginia beaches.
The number of dead dolphins now stands at more than 150, according to National Marine Fisheries estimates.

The drama for potash producers has entered a new phase. China's sovereign fund has converted a bond holding into equity and now owns 12.5% of Uralkali, the company that started the drama when it pulled out of Belarus Potash Corp. a couple of months ago.

Donut Mug Cake
This isn't quite the same as some of the other mug cakes I've made in the past. I didn't create a recipe that can be made into one single serving, but it's still delicious and easy and you can always store the leftover batter for later.
I was making a batch of our favorite baked donuts and I had some leftover batter and I decided to stick it in a mug and see if it would turn out okay. And it did! A minute and half later I was treated to a fluffy donut mug cake. Much quicker than making mini donuts in the oven.
The donut taste is similar to cake donuts and comes from the mini donut muffin recipe that's been widely shared on the internet.
Even though this doesn't make just one single serving, you can refrigerate the rest of the batter for later. Or you can make a few mug cakes rather than having to take the time to make mini donuts or mini donuts in the oven. If you're impatient like me, being able to eat the donut cake in one minute rather than 10-15 is a definite plus.
I wasn't quite sure how to decorate them so I drizzled chocolate ganache, which is what I use for my mini donuts. Now I kind of wish I added some sprinkles, especially when I added the little mini donut top hat.
Donut Mug Cakes
3/4 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup fat free milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the chocolate ganache:
4 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
1. In a large bowl, whisk together sugar and egg until combined. Add in flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Then mix in vegetable oil, milk and vanilla extract. Mix until batter is smooth.
2. Fill an oversized mug about 1/2 full with batter. Cook in microwave for about 1 minute and 30 seconds. Careful not to overcook or cake will become hard. If cake is puffy and toothpick inserted comes out clean, then it is done. You can repeat with remaining batter or store batter in fridge for later use.
3. While donut mug cakes are cooling make the ganache. Heat heavy cream microwaveable glass cup for about 40 seconds in microwave. Pour heavy cream into bowl of chopped chocolate. Stir and mix until chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
4. Let ganache cool for a few minutes before drizzling over donut mug cakes.

OMG I need to try this! BTW it's a funny thing that I've updated my blog for the first time in two months with a mug cake recipe too You sure have inspired me with all your yummy recipes
I LOVE the doughnut top hat!
Uh oh… a donut that I can make easily, any time? Mmmm….
all these recipes have no microwave wattage,
what was the wattage used to make these?
approx how many mug cakes does this recipe yield?
Um.. I was wondering if I could shape the batter into other shapes, will it stay the same shape while it is being microwaved? And if I use a microwaveable bowl instead do I still microwave it for 1 1/2 mins?
1, 2, 3, BAKING POWER! (sorry- noticed the typo, and couldn't help it! )

I suggested Kip explore this technique as an alternative to having the
inlines that check whether a socket is marked for offload or not
(tradeoff indirect function call vs conditionals). My comment to him
was that I find it can make code more intuitive. But with the common
case being empty functions it's probably not a great option as the
compiler cannot optimize it out.
