San Francisco Giants pitcher Brian Wilson winds up during his MLB National League baseball game against the St. Louis Cardinals in San Francisco, California, April 8, 2011. REUTERS/Beck Diefenbach (UNITED STATES - Tags: SPORT BASEBALL)
In 2009 Wilson averaged a fastball velocity of 96.47 mph as he cemented himself as one of the elite relief pitchers in baseball with a 2.74 ERA, 2.50 FIP and a 2.36 tRA. In 2010 he took another big step and became arguably the best closer in baseball with a 1.81 ERA, 2.19 FIP and 1.98 tRA while averaging a fastball at 95.84 mph.
This year both his numbers and his fastball seem to have taken a step back. Heading into the All-Star break Wilson has a 3.14 ERA, a 3.24 FIP and a 3.57 tRA. Those are all good numbers but not on the level that we have come to expect from the eccentric closer. On top of everything his fastball has slowed to 94.22 mph this season.
So where did the velocity go?
Here is the chart of every fastball he has thrown since the beginning of 2009:
The orange lines are each fastball while the black line represents the season average. The drop this season is fairly large and quite noticeable.
So what is causing this drop? It doesn't appear that he is sacrificing some mph for control as his walk rate has jumped this seasons to its highest level since his short stint in the majors in 2006.
It is possible that some of it might be arm fatigue after pitching deep into the postseason and notching back to back 70+ inning seasons and always being willing to take the ball with little rest.
The most likely cause however is that he has changed the way that he throws his fastball. In 2009 and 2010 his fastball averaged about 3 and a half inches of tail towards a right handed batter. This season his fastball has averaged 6 and three quarters inches of tail. The answer to the case of the missing velocity is likely that Wilson is giving up some giddy up for more movement.
So far the extra movement hasn't paid off in better numbers but I think that Wilson has earned to have a fairly long leash to try to figure out how to control this new weapon.

Music production technology and techniques have drastically changed over the past decade - it is certainly more accessible and simpler to start making music armed with nothing more than a laptop. There is even a good spectrum of free information on YouTube and blogs available to help you solve virtually any problem.
While this is true, a fundmental knowledge of both music theory (including composition, structure, and form) as well as studio engineering goes a long way for advancing one's production career. The reason why is analogous to sitting behind the cockpit of a fighter jet and relying solely on the autopilot to get you safely from point A to B - sure it may all end up well and good, but in reality you have no idea what's going on or what to do when the landing gears suddenly malfunction. Furthermore, with an increase of beginner producers (attracted by the easier access, distribution etc.) it becomes increasingly necessary to venture away from the very default presets that make many of the new tools so easy to use in order to differentiate your sound.
This is why, despite catering for producers and not solely studio engineers, we strongly encourage our students to take the time to learn these foundational components.
From a more engineering perspective, another interesting point to add to this article is that it has never been easier to start making your own audio plugin software. The creators of Sonicbirth have given a fantastic open-source tool to the world which allows any one to code and create their own plugins for free.

Update: Saganing Eagles Landing Casino hotel, gaming expansion to add 251 jobs; will you go?
STANDISH, MI — They haven't broken ground yet, but the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe has big plans for its little casino near Saginaw Bay.
The Mount Pleasant-based tribe is gearing up to triple the size of the Saganing Eagles Landing Casino facility, adding a six-story hotel, gaming tables and restaurant to the lodge-like facility near Standish.
The expansion will add 251 jobs for card dealers, housekeepers, hotel staff and others needed to run the larger operation.Frank Cloutier is director of public relations for the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe. He says the casino-gaming market in Michigan in nearly saturated, but business at the Saganing location just off Interstate 75 is strong and the expansion is a response to customer demand.
"The casino in Standish is doing well simply because of its location, and we're doing what we can to meet the demands of our customers," he said.
Cloutier said the 39,000-square-foot casino, which employs about 300, is expanding by 144,000 square feet beginning this year.
"So it's going to be a substantial increase in size," he said. "It's going to have a six-story hotel with approximately 148 rooms, it will offer a restaurant and lounge setting, and we will be introducing some various table games."
Cloutier said the tribe, which owns and operates Soaring Eagle Casino in Mount Pleasant, is finishing final design plans for its satellite Saganing facility.
"We're hoping to have things finalized and ready to go sometime in mid-June for bids," Cloutier said.
Cloutier said construction is expected to take about 10 or 11 months and 251 jobs will be added when it's complete. The new positions will include table game dealers, slot ambassadors, maintenance, housekeeping, hotel concierge and front desk and some supervisory positions, and the casino is to schedule job fairs after the first of the year, he said.Cloutier said there are not currently any open positions related to the expansion.
Steve Kolaja, president of the Standish Area Chamber of Commerce, said the entire community is benefiting from the expansion.
"Any time you have development, local development, everyone from the restaurant to the gas station, to other businesses all reap a benefit from that expansion," he said. "(The expansion will) increase foot traffic throughout the community...it's all very helpful for Standish so we're really excited about it."
When the expansion is complete and the new positions are filled the casino will be the county's largest employer, said City Manager Curt Hillman.
Hillman said community members are excited.
"(I) just hear a lot of people can't wait to finally have a nice hotel, as well as nice eating facilities," he said.

New phone scams target victims in Sullivan County
SULLIVAN COUNTY, Tenn. - Two new phone scams have targeted victims in Northeast Tennessee.
The Sullivan County Sheriff's Office said in one attack, scammers are pretending to be from Publisher's Clearing House. The scammer calls the victim, claiming the victim has won a large sum of cash, and in one case a Mercedes-Benz. The scammer asks the victims to purchase a "green dot card" to cover taxes on winnings, and then provide the number on the card in order to collect the winnings.
In the other phone scam, deputies said the suspect told the victim that the victim owed money and will be arrested unless the victim pays up.
The Sullivan County Sheriff's Office says two people have paid the scammers in the last week.

An autopsy performed on a 59-year-old man found Friday in the southbound lanes of Raymond Boulevard has revealed injuries consistent with a suicide, authorities said yesterday.
The Springfield man apparently jumped off the Pulaski Skyway and was discovered near 183 Raymond Boulevard at 10:39 p.m., said Detective Todd McClendon. The man's car was above the roadway on the Skyway.
When he was found, investigators were uncertain whether the man jumped to his death or was struck by a vehicle on the elevated highway.
McClendon said an autopsy determined the victim's injuries were consistent with a suicide.

NEW YORK — Travis Hafner made an appearance in the Yankees clubhouse Wednesday afternoon, stopping by for the team photo. He hasn't played since July 26, when his balky right shoulder gave out on him. That day, Hafner said, "Within a matter of a couple hours, I just kind of lost all strength."
He doesn't expect to return until September. The diagnosis was a strained rotator cuff. Hafner has been rehabbing with strengthening exercises for the past few weeks. He has yet to be cleared for a hitting program. He said he had a checkup scheduled for early next week.
"It's doing good," Hafner said before his teammates faced the Angels. "It's gotten better every day. Basically, we're just rehabbing until it's strong enough to start swinging a bat."
If Hafner could return before September, it's unclear if there would be a spot waiting for him. He cannot play the field. He suffered through the worst season of his career this year, with just a .684 on-base plus slugging percentage. After May 1, he batted just .167 with a .535 OPS.
But when the rosters expand in September, Hafner has some value as a left-handed pinch hitter and occasional designated hitter. Hafner could not predict when he'll be ready.
"I don't have a very good feel," Hafner said. "But it's improving every day, so that's encouraging."
• Shortstop Derek Jeter (strained calf) will fly down to the team's complex in Tampa, Fla., today. On his final day in the Bronx, Jeter took batting practice, fielded some grounders and ran a session of light sprints in the outfield.
Manager Joe Girardi did not reveal a timetable for Jeter's return. Jeter is eligible to come off the disabled list Sunday, when the team plays in Boston.
"He'll start increasing his baseball activity," Girardi said. "And we'll just go day by day, to see where he's at."
• Alex Rodriguez returned to the field last night, after being the designated hitter Tuesday. Girardi has been pleased with Rodriguez thus far.
"I think he's been pretty good," Girardi said. "He's swung the bat pretty well. We've seen him make some good defensive plays. … I've been pleased."
• Austin Romine's older brother, Andrew, started at shortstop for the Angels on Wednesday night. But Romine sat for the Yankees, with Chris Stewart behind the plate.

- When looking at the Red Sox, be cautious not to overrate small samples
- Incredibly, the Red Sox snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, not once but twice
- Don't assume these Red Sox are good, just because they have been
- September again? Red Sox fans need to relax, for now
The Boston Red Sox enter Monday night's game against the Toronto Blue Jays fresh off three tough losses to the Detroit Tigers.
Everyone knows they need a win but the series against Toronto is important for more reasons than just a "win."
Not one, but two Red Sox starting pitchers will make debuts in this series. Monday, Felix Doubront takes the mound. The lanky 24-year-old left hander has started three games in his career but this is the first time he's ever taken the mound as a member of the Red Sox rotation.
Doubront is the fourth starter and while it's not set in stone that he'll start all season, for the time being he doesn't have to look over his shoulder and wonder if he's heading back to Pawtucket or to the bullpen after tonight's start.
The same cannot be said for Tuesday night's starting pitcher, Daniel Bard. Bard, of course, has excelled in the setup role over the past two seasons and can throw a fast ball that touches 100 miles per hour.
Originally groomed as the heir apparent to former Red Sox All-Star closer Jonathan Papelbon, Bard saw his career switch directions this past offseason. In spite of Papelbon's departure, Bard was moved into the starting rotation. He's never started a game at the Major League level but he's going to tomorrow night against a divisional rival.
With the Red Sox bullpen in tatters and the team mired in an early season slump, the pressure on Bard is enormous. Regardless of his own performance on the mound Tuesday, the questions regarding the bullpen --- specifically the closer position --- are creating a groundswell of pressure to move Bard into the closer spot.
There are plenty of calls for "patience" among those covering the team. Those calls have a large degree of truth to them.
There are two problems with them, though:Last, year fans were patient. The organization was patient and the players kept things in perspective. In the end, one could make as strong a case that the poor start last season cost the team the postseason almost as much as the poor finish did.
1. Last Year.
2. This Year.
This year, the team is in a far different place. You may love, hate or be indifferent with regards to Bobby Valentine but one thing most people can agree on is that he's got a lot less leeway than former manager Terry Francona had.
Francona had built up a fair amount of credit. Two World Series rings, a number of playoff appearances. That will (and should) buy you some patience when your team stinks out of the gate.
The same thing can be said of new general manager Ben Cherington, who replaced Theo Epstein. Epstein built this team, but unfortunately for Cherington, he was there for a lot of its construction as well. Cherington also is responsible for all of this past off-season's acquisitions.
Neither has the credit with the fans, media, and most importantly their own players. That means that calls for "patience" might not just go unanswered by fans and media but by players and upper management as well.
That could end up being a far greater problem than losing the first three games. Could it also lead down an unconventional path to a solution? Either way, don't expect this losing streak to be handled in the same way last season's April swoon was.
"Must win" games in the first week of the season? That might be where the Red Sox are at right now.

Joe Dumars worked the phones hard right up to the 3 p.m. trade deadline today, but the Detroit Pistons roster looks the same as it did before the deadline.
"We made great efforts to be active," Dumars said in an email about an hour after the deadline, "but there simply wasn't a good deal to be made."
According to a Yahoo! Sports report, the Pistons came close.
The Pistons and the Cleveland Cavaliers agreed to a trade that would have sent Richard Hamilton to the Cavaliers, but the deal fell apart when Hamilton and the Cavaliers could not agree to terms on a buyout, Yahoo! Sports reported.
The deal apparently would have had the Pistons sending Hamilton and a future first-round pick to the Cavaliers for a future second-round pick and a trade exception the Cavaliers currently hold. Basically, the Cavaliers would have been purchasing a first-round pick from the Pistons at the cost of whatever they were willing to pay Hamilton in a buyout.
Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports talked about the potential trade in a series of tweets:
- "DET and CLE negotiated down to wire on a Rip Hamilton trade, but fell apart when Rip wouldn't accept buyout terms with Cavs, sources say."
- "DET and CLE agreed on protected future draft pick to go with Hamilton, but Rip wouldn't give back enough of $25M owed him, sources say."
- "Cleveland would've been glad to let Rip play there, but he didn't want the minutes. Wouldn't take buyout offer. Back to bench in Detroit."
Sports Illustrated reported that the Pistons have no intention of buying out Hamilton, who has two years and $25 million remaining on his contract.
The Pistons thought they had a deal in place last month that would have sent Hamilton -- along with DaJuan Summers -- to the New Jersey Nets for Troy Murphy, Johan Petro and a draft pick.
Murphy, who has since been traded to Golden State, has an expiring contract, which would have given the Pistons some room to maneuver in free agency this summer. But that deal fell apart when the Nets pulled out of talks with the Denver Nuggets about a trade that would have sent Carmelo Anthony -- since traded to the New York Knicks -- to the Nets.
Hamilton has played just one game in the past six weeks and is clearly not happy sitting the bench. Several reports have said the Boston Celtics would be interested in Hamilton should he receive a buyout from the Pistons, but that does not even seem to be a possibility until the Pistons are sold -- and might not be a possibility even then.
It is unclear on what terms Hamilton would accept a buyout since the Cavaliers reportedly offered him one that he refused.
The Pistons also turned down an offer from the Dallas Mavericks that would have sent forward Tayshaun Prince to Dallas for the injured Caron Butler and a first-round draft pick, Yahoo! Sports reported, citing an unnamed source.
Both Prince and Butler have contracts that expire after the season, so the Mavericks were basically offering to give the Pistons a draft pick to rent Prince down the stretch and in the postseason.
The Pistons feel that Prince could be valuable this summer in a sign-and-trade deal, according to the report. In addition, the pick from the Mavericks will be late in the first round. Players drafted in the first round receive guaranteed contracts, while second-round picks do not.
The Pistons will have a pick near the top of the second round from Toronto from the trade that sent Carlos Delfino to the Raptors in 2007.
The Pistons will also have the least favorable of the second-round picks Denver has: its own and Portland's. If the season ended today, the Pistons would pick 34th and 50th in the second round in addition to their own first-round pick in the lottery.
The Los Angeles Clippers own the Pistons' second-round pick in 2011.
The Pistons had little interest in trading Prince for a player with a year or multiple years remaining on his contract.
If they do not utilize Prince in a sign-and-trade deal this summer, they could still gain some flexibility under the cap by simply letting his contract expire. How much flexibility depends on what other moves they can make to free up cap space and what the next collective bargaining agreement looks like.
Despite a report in the Detroit News earlier this week, it is very unlikely the Pistons will re-sign Prince in the offseason.

Legislative inaction in 2015 as of July 16, 2015
Congress continues to ignore any legislation that would affect the U. S. Postal Service (USPS); however, during hearings the Senators and Representatives do talk about how the USPS is in trouble financially. The National League of Postmasters is helping to write a bill that would change the pre-funding of future Retirees Health Benefits Fund (RHBF) and to delay any post office closing or reductions of customer service hours for seven years. The most important issue at this time is the hacking of the Office of Personnel Management's (OPM) files that may include USPS employee personal information.
Recent hearings include the June 17, 2015 House Appropriation Committee passage of the Fiscal Year 2016 bill that includes keeping six-day delivery and to return to the service standards in effect on July 1, 2012. About 90 percent of the country had overnight delivery of First Class Mail with the July 1, 2012 service standards. The annual appropriation bills have also included the payments to the USPS for free matter for the blind and overseas ballots, and the requirement for the USPS to continue delivery frequency "at 1983 levels".
In the Senate, the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee forwarded the nomination of David Shapira for the USPS Board of Governors to the full Senate. He is the CEO and President of the Giant Eagle supermarket chain in the Mid-Atlantic States. Currently, there are only three out of the nine governor positions that are filled. President Obama has appointed four additional people that are waiting for Senate confirmation. During the hearings the financial condition of the USPS was described as having a "100 billion dollar unfunded liability".
A Senate bill, The Rural Postal Act of 2015, S. 1742, was submitted on July 9, 2015 to restore service standards, start a 2 year delay on plant closings, and require 6 day delivery.
The pre-funding of future Retirees Health Benefit Fund (RHBF) that was created by the 2006 lame-duck session of Congress continues to give our customers a poor image of the financial condition of the USPS and the long term viability of the USPS. The bill being drafted with the assistance of the National League of could have several options to reduce or eliminate the average $5.6 billion annual payment. The May 2015 Postal Rate Commissions report of the USPS financial statement shows a loss of $126 million in Controllable Operating Income and a year to date net loss of $2.778 billion which includes the $3.8 billion due to the RHBF. In other words, the USPS would have a $1 billion surplus year to date without the RHBF payment.
At the top of news stories is the hacking of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and the lack of a letter or email informing USPS employees and retirees whether their personal information was stolen. At the National League Convention & Forum our 2015 Political Agenda suggested that we contact our Congressman and Senators with our concern about the theft and to ask for help to protect us from possible identity theft. Please see the notes on how to check your Credit Reports for free.
With the continuing bad news about the USPS financial condition, the lack of Congress action on USPS issues to correct the RHBF payment schedule, and the possible theft of our personal information, it would help if each of us would contact our Congressman and our 2 Senators.

Not matter how near he is to whitebeard "which is nowhere seen or stated in the manga panel" he wouldn't have the time to reach and stop those light beams unless he is FTL.
I found this narutoforum thread where they say Marco is not blue fire but is plasma which can also move at light speed.
So is Marco plasma? Not blue fire which was stated to him by the author himself because he has phoenix appearances and that phoenixes are made of "fire".

MOBILE, Alabama -- A man was shot in the buttocks while he and two others ran from an armed robber early Monday morning, according to the Mobile Police Department.
At 3:05 a.m., police responded to the reported robbery outside of a home on Colonial Oaks Drive, near Moffett Road.
Three men had left the home to have a smoke when they were approached by a man wearing all dark clothing and a black bandanna over his face, said MPD spokesman Officer Terence Perkins.
The man was armed with a handgun and demanded cash. The trio fled and the suspect opened fire, Perkins said. Only one man was injured.
The suspect was described as a black man around 6-foot-1 and 185 pounds. He has a medium complexion and appeared to be in his mid-20's.
Anyone with information on the robbery can contact MPD at 251-208-7211.

Ah, Valentine's Day … no, I'm not even going to start. I actually like Valentine's Day. I'm all for everyday gestures and kindness, but I'm also a fan of big gestures and even, sure, a little pre-scripted romance time.
People complain about VD being too contrived, but I always think: What's wrong with more romance? (And by VD, I mean Valentine's Day, not the other one. See? Romantic.)
But that said … there are a few things — a few movies — that I find almost too unrealistic to be romantic, and every year I'm sure to keep them off any serious chill-out, movie time plans we might have.
Usually these things strike a wrong chord for me because the characters have one of those totally unbelievable arguments about something incredibly innocuous and instead of just sitting down for five minutes and talking that crap out, it becomes a major plot point that continues to pull them apart.
This drives me batty. I can't suspend my disbelief that much.
However, my Number One Least Realistic Romantic Movie (see No. 1 slot in show below) doesn't actually do this. There is plenty to pull these two apart in a believable sense and yet, at the same time … well, I'll let you decide if you agree.
So here are my Top 7 Most Unrealistic Romantic Movies from the recent era or, basically, things not to cuddle up to on Valentine's Day.
What movie that was supposed to be romantic struck a wrong chord with you?
Love Actually 1 of 7Please. Don't kill me. I love this sappy movie, and yet ... there's that one storyline where the guy is in love with his best friend's wife and pursues her. In real life, best friends just let it go and do. not. do. anything. It always strikes me as too much. But then I forget and get all happy again when I think of the love story between the manager and his rock star, or the writer and his maid. Oh, I need to go watch this again.
How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days 2 of 7You need to seriously suspend your disbelief that one the characters wouldn't just stop and say, "Honey. What the hell is your problem?" and then work it out with a long talk. And besides, who continues this treatment with someone they are actually starting to like?
Lost in Translation 3 of 7I totally buy the Bill Murray-Scarlett Johansson friendship in this one. The tone is sweet and perfect. But what I don't buy is why she ever put up with her crappy husband in the first place? It's like watching two different people at the same time: one smart enough to strike up a great friendship and one stupid enough to marry that moron.
Sex and the City: The Movie 4 of 7First, who doesn't realize from the get-go that they're going to get married in a simple ceremony with that simple dress? It's not foreshadowing; it's foretelling. Second, who would marry someone so ridiculously obsessed with shallowness? TV Carrie always struck me as more believable than Movie Carrie for some reason ... and don't even get me started on the sequel.
Sleepless in Seattle 5 of 7The story line, plot, characters — everything is just perfect ... but there's no way you can convince me that kid is mentally capable of hopping on a plane to New York to make the entire denouement possible. The girl maybe, but not the boy. I'm not buying it.
Legends of the Fall 6 of 7Does any family have three boys that incredibly handsome? I don't think so.
Titanic 7 of 7I actually liked this movie. A lot. I won't confess to seeing it NINE TIMES in the theater, but seriously: The haunting feeling of doom always leaves me feeling less romantic and more itchy than anything. "Happy Valentin .... hey, watch out for the iceberg!"

Medina Creative Housing's Creative Pet Play is located at 4080 Creative Living Way in Medina. It will soon provide full-service daycare for pooches including pet care, training, photography, services, treat production and retail sales.
MCH Executive Director Diane DePasquale-Hagerty said the facility is also boasting a low pet-to-caregiver ratio. And, the caregiver is what distinguishes this facility from others in the area.
Individuals with disabilities have been trained to offer all these services, almost entirely on their own.
"If I'm born with a disability I have gifts and talents just like anyone else," said Hagerty. "Our responsibility is to look at that individual and see where those gifts and talents lie and really try to develop them. We try to develop opportunities and hone in on those gifts and talents, so they can work, earn incomes and get that sense of accomplishment it brings."
Staff members have been trained extensively over the past few months, including visits to other doggie daycares. There will be a few traditional professionals for grooming and other services, but most staff members will be individuals with a broad range of disabilities.
Some staff members will be involved in production of items to be sold in the Pretty Paws Boutique. Those in the carpentry/maintenance field will be making cat condos and customized dog toys. Creative Canine Cookies for dogs will be made from the lettuce grown in the greenhouse by those in the landscaping and gardening field and sold in the store as well.
"I'm incredibly excited about Medina Creative Pet Play," said Jackie Kirby-Wilkins, vice president of the board of trustees. "I have a dog that's been on the waiting list for months."
The new facility will also feature an interior designed and decorated by donation. Earlier this week, 40 volunteers from AkzoNobel, the Strongsville-based maker of paints and other decorative products, showed up to completely prime and paint Creative Pet Play, using material and equipment donated by the company.

Victim has shown courage
To the editor:
Of all the persons involved in the unspeakable sexual assault, videos and threats in Steubenville, the victim herself will do the most time.
These awful nightmares happen everywhere. One can only hope that the courage of the victim will help others who have been raped to step forward into the light.

HOUSTON (AP) – The average in Texas for gallon of regular unleaded gasoline is at $3.50 this week, 4 cents less than a week ago.
AAA Texas said Thursday that this week's average is 13 cents less than the national average of $3.63.
Drivers in Dallas and Fort Worth are paying the most at $3.54 and drivers in Amarillo, El Paso, and Corpus Christi are paying the least at $3.43.
The association says motorists in most states are paying less at the pump than a week ago, with the declines most dramatic in the Midwest. But, the association says, crude oil prices remain elevated because of positive signs for the global economy, continued unrest in Egypt and recent reports of violence in Libya, which produces two percent of global oil consumption.

Finding Number (Click this to use the hierarchy browser to access the full catalogue)
Manuscript volume entitled 'Mr John Hunter's lectures on the principles of surgery'
1 volume
[late 18th-early 19th century]
Volume of notes in two parts, in an unknown hand, recording a course of medical lectures given by John Hunter.
Topics include physiology, diseases 'which survive from accident' (and 'those which are similar to them'), the 'union of divided parts by the first intention', inflammation and related conditions, discussion of a range of other specific diseases and a brief final section describing the author's observations of experiments primarily conducted by Hunter, but also involving Dr [George] Fordyce, Sir Jos[eph] Banks, Dr [Charles] Blagden and Dr Tillett. The experiments involved observation and manipulation of the temperature of animals (including Man), under different conditions, drawing comparisons with atmospheric temperature.
The volume is prefaced by an introduction written in the first person as though by Hunter himself , but the notes are written in another hand, and are possibly the work of one of his assistants or pupils. The front flyleaf is inscribed in ink with the name of John Badley, with notes of his birth, death and the date he started practising in Dudley 'about 1803'.

Administrative History
John Hunter (1728-1793) was a leading surgeon and anatomist. He began his surgical career in 1748 assisting his brother William Hunter (1718-1783), teacher of anatomy and accoucheur. After studying with William Cheselden (1688-1752) and Percivall Pott (1714-1788), he started at St George's Hospital, London, as a surgical pupil in 1754. In 1760 he joined the army as a staff surgeon gaining experience in gunshot wounds and observation of trauma, and developing what were to be life long interests in human and comparative physiology and the collection of specimens. In the early 1760s, he joined James Spence's London dental practice and began to give lectures in anatomy. He was elected fellow of the Royal Society in 1767, became a member of the Company of Surgeons and surgeon at St George's Hospital in 1768, and surgeon-extraordinary to the king in 1776. Through the 1770s his research and teaching interests expanded and it was during this time that he started lecturing on the theory and practice of surgery and began work on a series of treatises, including 'Treatise on the Blood, Inflammation and Gunshot Wounds' that was to be published after his death in 1794. He was an active participant in coffee house scientific discussion groups whose members included Sir Joseph Banks (1743-1820) naturalist and President of the Royal Society, 1778-1820, Sir Charles Blagden (1748-1820) and Dr George Fordyce (1736-1802) and Hunter himself founded the 'Society for the Improvement of Medical and Chirurgical Knowledge' in 1783 and the 'Lyceum Medicum Londinenses for the Advancement of Medical Knowledge' two years later. He was detailed and methodical in documenting his observations and experiments, and his rough notes would often be dictated to, or copied by, one of his assistants before being worked up for a lecture or publication. He married Anne Home (1742-1821), daughter of friend and fellow army surgeon, Robert Bayne Home, 22 July 1771. [Source: Oxford DNB Online. Available: http://www.oxforddnb.com. 19 May 2008]
Hunter's pupils included John Abernethy, William Clift, Anthony Carlisle, Edward Jenner, Astley Paston Cooper and Everard Holme. John Badley (1783-1870), FRCS, was a favourite pupil of Dr John Abernethy (1764-1831), surgeon. He studied at St Bartholomew's Hospital before practising in Dudley, West Midlands.

A 20-year-old Denville woman has been charged with multiple motor vehicle violations after crashing her car into a Boonton utility pole and then fleeing the scene -- leaving a car door and stack of personal papers behind.
Deirdre Ruth was charged today with driving while intoxicated, underage driving while intoxicated, leaving the scene of an accident, reckless and careless driving, and failure to report an accident.
Police were called to Valley Road in Boonton Township this morning around 4:30 a.m., where they found a utility pole had been split into three pieces after being struck by a car. The driver had fled, but Boonton police said they found the door of a 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier and a stack of papers bearing Ruth's name and address at the scene.
Shortly afterward, Denville police reported a woman crashed a 1996 Chevy Cavalier with a missing door into a stone wall on Valley Road in Denville, about two miles from the earlier crash.
Ruth was taken to an area hospital and treated for minor injuries.
The downed utility poll closed Valley Road until shortly after 3 p.m. today.

-- Turkish Delight
I finally met up with my friend Paul at the Cairo Airport. He'd been stranded in the Sahara desert when his group's Jeep broke down and had made it back in time for his flight to Istanbul. The same flight I was also booked on.
When we arrived in Istanbul, the air was cool and a light, a cooling trickle of rain was covering the city. After 3 weeks of scorching heat in Egypt, the mild weather was a welcomed change. Finally I could walk outside without being instantly soaked in a pool of sweat
We checked into a nice room in the backpacker haven of Sultanhamet and immediately launched ourselves towards the closest roadside bar to quaf a cold pint of local lager.
Istanbul brought an instant smile to my face. It was like being in Europe again. No more bizarre stares from locals and no more language problems. It almost felt like I was home. Seeing as I'd been in Istanbul less than a year back, the familiarity of Sultanhamet was comforting.
Paul, a couple from new Zealanders and I sat around drinking and just being generally silly until finally venturing off into the raunchy discos of Taksim to end the evening in the early hours of the morning.
-- "Maybe I won't go to Bulgaria... "
When I opened my eyes the next morning, Paul was packing for his flight to Malaysia and I was seriously reconcidering my trip to Sofia, Bulgaria, which I had planned to take to kill time before Linda arrived
"Uggg,... maybe I'll pass on Bulgaria" I said to Paul as I rubbed my eyes and shook my hang over from my head.
I began to debate whether staying in Turkey until she arrived would be a better idea. The bus to Bulgaria was an overnight one which would almost guaranty another night of sleeplessness, in the state I was in, another night without sleep didn't seem like a tempting offer.
"Nono... you should go. You'll be fine"
It was just push I needed. After thinking of how great my trip to Southern Laos was and that I'd gone through the same mental debate the morning after the rocket festival, I decided to run out to buy my bus ticket before I could change my mind again.
I was going to Sofia. It was done.
I managed to sleep until 3pm that day before jumping into a taxi to the bus station
Unfortunately, no matter how good the seats, sleeping was a futile effort and another night sans-sleep awaited. I was exhausted.
As the bus slowed down, the Bulgarian man who spoke just enough broken english to hold the little bit of conversation we'd had during the ride to Sofia was tapping me on the shoulder. We'd arrived in Sofia. It was 4 am and suddenly the logistics of it all came crashing down on me.
My trip to Sofia had been a last minute ordeal and I didn't have a guide book, currency or any information about the city. The only nugget I did have was a brosure for a hostel which seemed pleasant.
"Do you think there is a currency exchange?" I asked the chubby, gray haired Bulgarian
As I slowly tried to think of a way to get to my hostel, a frenchmen sitting opposite me turned to face me. "Excuse me, do you want to split a cab?"
"Ummm, sure that would be great, but I don't have any Bulgarian money."
He casually shook his head and dismissed my attempt to pay half the fare. "It's ok, I'll pay"
"Thank god!" I thought to myself.
Thierry, a frenchman who'd been working in Sofia for almost a year as an IT consultant and who was returning from a short holiday in Istanbul with his Bulgarian girlfriend saved the day and had a taxi driver take me to my hostel.
As he dropped me off, we made plans to meet the next day for some sight seeing in the city.
-- Sexy Sofia
I met Thiery after 4 hours of patchy sleep in the Hostel's 12 bed dorm.
"This town is pretty provocative isn't it?" I said to Thierry the next morning as we walked down the street passed an advertisement which featured a beautiful women holding up a bunch of grapes, tongue extended and licking, almost sucking, the phallic bunch.
"Luc, in Sofia, you can almost smell the sex."
He was right. Everything from advertisements, to the way women dressed to the brosures for sex clubs that the tourist office had given me, smacked of hedonism.
In Sofia, sex was big business and it showed. The town was clean, surprisingly modern and in complete defiance of it's communist passed, viciously capitolistic.
We started off by having lunch, which he refused to let me pay for, a ritual he would repeated for my entire stay, and aquainted ourselves better
When it came to sightseeing in Sofia, English wasn't a strong point. At the local museum of national history, the signs were all in Cyrillic as with most other signs in the country. Despite this, we did managed to learn a small amount about the country's past, through Roman times, Turkish rule to communism and times of world wars. Bulgaria had been through cycles of repression and was now a free, democratic country thriving on capitalism. From the looks of it, it was well on it's way of becoming the next Prague of Eatern Europe. I could almost see the heards of tourists which I imagined would soon be flocking to the city.
It was cold in Bulgaria. The coldest I'd been in 6 months. Since Canada.
To end the day, we had dinner with Jeny, his "coppine" and had a very interesting talk about how Bulgaria used to be during it's communist times.
Finally, the evening ended with a visit to several of Sofia's night clubs and I called it a night.
-- Day 2 in Bulgaria
I had planned on a day trip to the Rila Monestary but as I woke, a tram/bus and taxi to the distant valley seemed like a harsh trip
Walking through the city, I bumped into a tiny antique shop which made me glad I had stayed in town. The shop sold everything from antique statues of Lenin to WWII Nazi passports. I bought a few authentique communist era souvenirs and met up with Thierry and his friends for lunch.
After lunch, it was time for shopping. Shopping in Sofia was alot more developed than I'd expected. I spent the afternoon buying some clothes and souvenirs. Things I couldn't have bought elsewhere like quality travel-pants and shoes.
When 7pm came around I headed the train station and caught my ride back to Istanbul.
-- Language difficulties
I was laying in the middle bunk of my sleeper compartment when the man who was sleeping in the one under mine walked in. He greeted me in Bulgarian, to which I nodded and asked "English?"
"No" ... he answered, seemingly disapointed that he would be stuck sharing a cabin with someone he wouldn't be able to speak with.
He reached down and offered me a beer, the universal language. I accepted and we attempted a conversation. Unfortunately, it didn't go very far. We walked out into the hall way and hung out to the windows watching the sun set over Sofia.
He looked sad. "Luc, Canada?" he said pointing to trash which was littered all over the grass and tracks that were zipping by.
"No, not like this."
"Mmmm... " he answered "Bulgaria, no money"
Nicoli was a crop duster on his way to the Sudan. This much i could get out of him but sign language could only take us so far and as the sun crept below the sky line, we stood there gazing out the window, speechless, listening to the boy in the cabin next to us practice his flute. As the soft soothing tones of the flute filled the air, we retired into the cabin and I prepared to awake in another country, Turkey.
"Goodnight Nicoli"
"Goodnight Luke Skywalker"
Maybe Nicoli understood a bit more than I had thought.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) - Energy pipeline companies, including two in Tulsa, are increasing patrols and improving security systems in the wake of the terrorist attacks on the United States.
Many companies are locking gates, putting up fences and hiring armed guards to protect against terrorism.
About 380,000 miles of pipeline transport oil, gasoline and natural gas across the country.
Most pipelines are buried, but officials said pump stations, tank farms and remote segments of pipeline are vulnerable to attack.
Williams Cos. Inc. and Explorer Pipeline Co., both based in Tulsa, control about 10 percent of the coast-to-coast pipeline network.
"In many cases, we have hired armed guards to patrol the perimeter of our locations," said Steven J. Malcolm, president of Williams.
Other safety measures include bomb-sniffing dogs at marine terminals near New York Harbor and along the Gulf Coast, Malcolm told the Tulsa World.
Security has also been tightened in Cushing, a major pipeline intersection.

BRADFORD, ONTARIO, JULY 21, 2010 – Summer is one of the best times to visit Summerlyn Village in Bradford, where Great Gulf Homes' highly successful community is in full bloom. The most recent collection of homes is situated adjacent to the berm that lies along the western portion of this community. Here, park-like landscaping includes double plantings of shade trees that line the extra-wide sidewalks of the Village Promenade, which links Summerlyn Creek and Overlook Pass with miles of fitness trails. Discover a spectacular selection of detached homes on 40' and 40' lots, as well as the limited number of semis, and detached homes on 36' lots remaining.

Summerlyn Village was recognized by the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority with a Water Conservation Award, presented to individuals and groups who have completed a project that improves water quality and wildlife in the Lake Simcoe Watershed.
Eventually home to over 1,000 families, Summerlyn Village is located just 30 minutes north of Toronto, 15 minutes north of Vaughan, close to a GO Station and only 10 minutes from Lake Simcoe and cottage country. Existing elementary and secondary schools and shopping venues are within walking distance. The community will also feature a future school, the new Town Centre with a library, a recreation centre, and the Town's new administrative building.
Lined with old-world English-style lampposts, Summerlyn Village's streets are characterized by old-world English-style lampposts, and the homes have charming architectural details. Modern, open-concept interiors offer gourmet kitchens with custom-quality cabinets, rich ceramics, natural oak railings and pickets on the main staircase, and luxurious ensuites.

Commonwealth Court on Wednesday upheld an injunction ordering the Central Dauphin School District to halt outsourcing of transportation.
The ruling, the latest development in a nearly year-long dispute between the district and its bus drivers, centers around the district's plans to replace its student transportation system with Durham School Services of Downers Grove, Ill.
The district says such a move could save taxpayers $12 million over five years. The Central Dauphin Bus Drivers Association, the union that represents the 131 bus drivers, says the district legally is obligated to honor its bus drivers' contract, which runs through June 30, 2011.
Judge Renee Cohn Juberlirer's ruling reviews the district's contention that it should follow Act 195, the public school bargaining law, in outsourcing and the union's belief that Act 88, the state collective bargaining law, applies.
"Although we commend the district for trying to save its taxpayers money by privatizing its transportation services, the district has an existing bargaining agreement with the association," Jubelirer wrote in the decision.
"As such, it must follow the mandatory procedures set forth by Act 88 in its efforts to meet that commendable goal," she said. "The trial court did not err in holding that Act 88, not Act 195, governs the present dispute. Accordingly, the order of the trial court is affirmed."

It has come to this, after two decades of the cod moratorium and an empty, largely deserted ocean: kids fishing off the wharf are a novelty.
Younger Boy and a buddy went fishing the other day. Upon their return, I asked the standard, age-old question, "How did the fishing go?"
"We were a tourist attraction," was the reply. Apparently, the interested onlookers outnumbered the fish — for the record, one conner and one sculpin. But the questions were plentiful. What are you fishing for? How many do you usually catch? What's the biggest one you've ever caught?
The youngsters were baffled that their rods spurred such interest.
People just like to see activity around the water, I explained.
Whether or not the question-poppers were tourists, their interest is a good sign. The past 20 years have been highly unnatural, with hardly a small boat to be seen on the water. The provincial government might think it's good for outports to be used for tourism rather than for fishing, but hopefully the people of the province have longer memories and a better understanding of economics.

During dinner recently, discussion turned to the news.
I mentioned the item about the JPMorgan bank executive — actually, former executive — who has to return two years' worth of salary because of the multibillion-dollar trading loss/scandal at the bank.
Her earnings for those two years? A mere $30 million. The information percolated in Younger Boy's mind for a few days. Then he mentioned he'd been thinking about that bank executive's salary, which works out to $40,000 per day.
"That's more than some people make in a year," he said. "That's insane." The kid fully deserves his formidable collection of math awards. Premier Kathy Dunderdale should give him a call and ask him about Muskrat Falls.
Actually, being too young to have ever held a real job — similar to but not quite the same as some MPs — he was too literal in his calculation, and counted all 365 days of each year. Using the more likely figure of 250 workdays per year, the (former) JPMorgan executive's daily pay was closer to $60,000.
Surely such remuneration goes beyond "insane" and into the realm of "epic fail."
• • •
It's tough to beat the great combination of a hot summer day, a cool shed and a cold beer. Tried the iceberg beer. Love the blue bottles. Tastes good, too.
Younger Boy is perplexed by all the publicity about iceberg beer, iceberg vodka, iceberg this, iceberg that.
"Everybody talks about drinking something from a 12,000-year-old iceberg," he said in bewilderment. "But every glass of water they drink is millions of years old."
It's been more than 30 years since I took Biology 101, so I had to resort to Google on this one.
Specifically: do hydrogen and oxygen atoms separate when water evaporates?
We look forward to seeing what the Tourism Department will do with this one.

Every year, old propane barbecues line the roadsides like lupin to await the annual garbage pickup. If you haven't thrown your old one out yet … don't.
I almost did, but then got a better idea.
We bought a new propane barbecue.
We were also going to buy a charcoal barbecue, just for fun and variety.
They're popular again, and you can get them for $50 to $200. Instead, I used a wrench and pliers and removed the gasworks from the old one.
Plug side holes with nuts, bolts and large washers; lay down a sheet of metal to cover the gasworks gaps. And there you have a perfect, standup charcoal barbecue, free of charge.
Tell your friends you read about it here first.

Sempra Energy, the San Diego company that owns Mobile Gas Service Corp. and Bay Gas Storage in McIntosh, said today that it expects profit to rise 15 percent in 2010 over what the company expects this year.
Sempra said it expects profit per share of $5 to $5.25 in 2010, up from a previously announced range of $4.35 to $4.60 this year. If the number of shares remain the same as today, that would be a profit of about $1.1 billion this year and about $1.25 billion in 2010.
In February, Sempra reported 2008 earnings of $4.43 a share, or $1.11 billion.

By Lisa Baratta/PennLive.com
My love for Entourage's Jeremy Piven drew me to the movie theater this weekend to catch 'Smokin' Aces.' After letting all the blood and gore set in, I have compiled a list of lessons learned from the movie. Enjoy.
10. All seemingly random information introduced in a movie that only runs 109 minutes is going to be important (aside from the random child obsessed with karate... don't really know what that was all about). It's an action comedy, which means you can expect some twists along the way.
9. Rapper/R&B artists aren't half-bad on the big screen. Rapper turned actor Common and the on-screen debut of Alicia Keys were much appreciated in this flick.
8. An all-star cast doesn't guarantee a blockbuster hit. (Actually, I think everyone learned that from 'Bobby.') After 'Epic Movie' came in at No. 1 this weekend, it seems evident that something is clearly wrong with American movie-goers, so all bets are off when trying to pick what will do well at the box office.
7. In a movie premised by every hitman for himself, love is often unrequited. Note: You might lose your female love to a guy.
6. Drugs are bad. A drug overdose means the ridiculous number of people hired to kill you will have wasted their time killing each other and everyone they meet in between.
5. Chainsaw scenes never end well for those who wield them. If you've seen 'Hostel' or any of the 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' movies (I've lost count as to exactly how many different remakes you can make about chainsaw killers), you should know you will probably end up missing a limb - or in this case, a buttcheek.
4. Hitmen come from all walks of life. Your sex, skin color, family history or sexual orientation doesn't bar you from kicking ass. The equal protection clause is enforced by employers of contract killers.
3. Big guns are better than small guns. Note to self: If you have ascertained that a rocket-sized 50 cal. weapon is hitting you from another building, firing small handguns back out the window in the 'general direction' probably isn't the best use of your time (or ammo).
2. When bothered, prostitutes will break out into a girl fight and/or break fine furniture in your penthouse suite. Write that down.
1. Like all mob flicks, this one's all in the family. Check out 'Smokin' Aces' in theaters now.

A Guide to Olin Library Holdings
Sanborn fire insurance maps were produced by the Sanborn Map Company to provide accurate, current and detailed information to the fire insurance industry for risk assessment purposes. Between 1867 and 1970, the Company had mapped over 12,000 U.S. towns. The maps were revised periodically in order to be accurate and suitable for the intended use. This series of revisions provides the historical researcher with an invaluable series of neighbourhood snapshots.
The maps typically show a bird's eye view of a community at the scale of one inch to fifty feet. At this scale, it is possible to show each building in outline. The original maps were color encoded to indicate each building's exterior construction material.
A complex set of symbols - initials, numerals, an assortment of lines, circles and squares - are used to describe a building's use, composition and appearance.
Digital Sanborn Maps was created from ProQuest Information and Learning's microfilm collection of 660,000 Sanborn Maps, which were filmed from the Library of Congress' collection. It is owned by ProQuest, LLC and is protected by copyright and other laws that recognize the rights of copyright holders.

Phil Mickelson authored one of the top stories of the year when he came through with a brilliant 66 in the final round of the British Open to earn the championship in one of golf's most prestigious events.
While the majority of the attention is on the sport's superstars in all the biggest events, there's a generation of new players climbing the golf ladder, seemingly on their way to becoming stars in their own right.

The racing season on any track provides rich fodder for writerly types like me. If you keep your eyes, ears and heart open--and, to paraphrase Mark Twain, your mouth shut--you can see and experience things so small and yet so significant that your spirit fairly bursts into a thousand electric shards. Joy is everywhere as daily life on a racetrack presents myriad opportunities to observe new things and to integrate these things into the story of your own Life.
Opening Day at Saratoga Race Course exploded with opportunities to hear the poetry of the cosmos as it manifested itself right here on this very human plane. I'd recorded it all in my being, but this morning I realized that I should translate that into 0s and 1s, so that the residents of CyberSpace may--if only by association--experience the pure bliss of that gorgeous day in July 2009.

Tasting Notes
This elegant garnet-hued Pinot has a young finesse rarely seen in such youth. The nose hints at Bing cherry and raspberry. On the palate you will taste these bright red fruits, and its lushness and crisp acidity hints at rose petals. This, along with a bit of tanned leather and young tobacco, make for a lively Pinot! Strong and lingering finish.
Technical Notes
pH: 3.60 TA: 6.3g/LAlc.: 14.3% by volume
