Inside Pitch: Playboy.com's Baseball Preview Part I
The boys of summer are back. We've got what you can expect on the season starting with the non-contenders.
Baseball season is upon us. The boys of summer are back. All this week Playboy.com will be previewing the upcoming season team by team. Part one looks at the clubs well out of contention and what they need to do to get back into the thick of things.
Baltimore Orioles
The AL East is no joke in baseball circles; it's a serious division for serious folks with four legit teams vying for contention. The odd man out is of course the Orioles who gambled last year on high risk/reward veteran free agent signings and lost, unable to restock the farm by flipping less than stellar numbers put up by temporary stop-gap solutions. This year won't be much different. A lot of raw talent lives in their rotation, a lot of aged inconsistency in their lineup, but a fire sale come July is to be expected either way.
Best Asset: Unproven pitching depth. Look out for: C Matt Wieters. Strategy: Sell. Sell. Sell. Projected Finish: 5th in the AL East.
Cleveland Indians
The Indians managed to take advantage of a deteriorating AL Central last season and finish second albeit miles behind the Tigers and with a losing record. Though they lost one half of the Cabrera combo that turned an inordinate number of double plays, the Indians are defensively sound. They can stay in ball games, they just can't win them on the back of a young Carlos Santana, an inconsistently healthy Grady Sizemore and a sleeping giant like Travis Hafner. They can get guys on the base paths, they just can't get them off them.
Best Asset: Their Defense. Look out for: SP Derek Lowe. Strategy: Things could actually work out for Cleveland if they were playing in the National League. They're not. They're built for small ball in a big ball league. Projected Finish: 4th in the AL Central.
Houston Astros
It might be too easy to make an Apollo 13 joke here but there is most definitely a problem in Houston. After Carlos Lee (who is as old as time as far as baseball is concerned), Astros players become hard to tell apart. A 100 plus losses is a whole lot to handle for a club with only a few major prospects and even less on field talent so the road is long for 'Stros fans. Like five to eight years long unless a cash cow dies on their doorstep.
Best Asset: Ummm… Look out for: SS Jed Lowrie. Strategy: Patience. The upside is not much money remains on the books for the Astros and some good free agent classes are on the horizon. Lowrie could be the start of a core; use these swoon year draft picks wisely. Projected Finish: 6th in NL Central.
Oakland Athletics
The A's have been playing the rebuilding game for some time now, tinkering and tweaking the farm and the big club hoping to find something that works. This offseason again saw them selling most of their top tier talent but they showed forward progress with the signing of Cuban import Yoenis Cespedes. He is the flagship and future of this club; the talent is there in all facets, it just needs a few years to grow.
Best Asset: Talented youth. Look out for: OFs Cespedes and Josh Reddick. Strategy: Patience. Projected Finish: 3rd in the AL West.
Pittsburgh Pirates
The Bucs acquired the closest thing they've had to an ace in a while this offseason in A.J. Burnett. Six years in the hard hitting AL East were unkind to the veteran who finally parted ways with the division owning a 4.38 ERA and periphery numbers going all the wrong ways. A return to pre-AL East form might bolster Pittsburgh's play and if Erik Bedard can find his fastball again, a few wins could be found there but the talent all around just isn't there to overcome other rising stars in the Central.
Best Asset: CF Andrew McCutchen. Look out for: 2B Neil Walker. Strategy: McCutchen, Walker and Jose Tabata stand as a core you can build on. Burnett and Bedard could be flipped to a contender midseason to sure up the Pirates' weak left side. Projected Finish: 5th in the NL Central.
San Diego Padres
What to say about the Padres. Talent bought and sold with little improvement. They shipped their best young prospect in Mat Latos to the Reds, their franchise bat to the Red Sox and are left with a piecemeal staff of youngsters and veterans nowhere near ready to contend for anything but last place. The haul from the Reds is second tier at best, a mix of major league ready but decidedly average players and it will be a few years yet before the youth movement is ready to roll.
Best Asset: CF Cameron Maybin. Look out for: C Nick Hundley. Strategy: Play the waiting game 'til Hundley, Headley and Maybin hit the same page. Sell high on Quentin, Hudson, Kotsay and Hermida if their numbers are good come the deadline. Projected Finish: 5th in NL West.
Seattle Mariners
King Felix still sits atop his throne in Seattle but the supporting cast thins out considerably after that. His 14-14 record is telling of the talent around him; the Mariners finished dead last in runs scored, RBIs, batting average, slugging and on base percentage last season. Credit that to infallible Ichiro finally losing a few steps on both sides of the plate and the Chone Figgins experiment going horribly awry. The addition of the highly touted Jesus Montero should account for a few more wins in 2012 but not enough to put them in the same stratosphere as the Rangers or Angels and at the cost of a young solid arm in Michael Pineda.
Best Asset: SP Felix Hernandez. Look out for: C/DH Jesus Montero. Strategy: It might be time to consider what kind of haul Ichiro can bring in the July market. Or Felix. Or both and start from scratch. Projected Finish: 4th in the AL West.

A different tack started Wednesday to try to defuse Pacific Grove's long-burning debate over city employee pensions.
A San Francisco municipal finance expert hired by the city heard plenty of history, conflicting opinions and a blizzard of dollar figures. She was the point person in a new effort to find ways to soften the city's heavy pension burden and head off another ballot measure being readied by a residents' group.
City Manager Thomas Frutchey said the idea was to share information, ideas and possible solutions on the "crisis facing Pacific Grove and so many other cities" with attorney Karol Denniston.
Her approach "does not involve litigation, but focuses on dialog," Frutchey said in a recent City Council report.
About 40 people, most of them sitting in a circle of chairs in the city Community Center, chipped in opinions and questions about the city's relationship with CalPERS, the state retirement system for city employees.
Some said current and future pension costs are draining so much money from the city that services — from police and fire department to the library and youth programs — have suffered for a decade. They said they want to find a way back to a time when the financial cloud wasn't hanging over Pacific Grove.
Others said the city couldn't solve the problem by itself without more action on public pension costs from Sacramento. And some said there is a lot of misleading information about the issue.
"We have to put the caustic dialog behind us," said Darius Engles, a former police chief.
Pension reform has been the object of Pacific Grove ballot measures in 2008 and 2010, and city voters may head back to the polls for another bite at the apple.
The city hired Denniston in response to an ongoing signature-gathering effort to put a measure on the ballot that would overturn a controversial 2002 City Council vote. That vote gave public safety employees more expensive CalPERS pension plans.
City officials say there is little chance of overturning that 2002 decision in court, though critics contend otherwise.
Organizer Daniel Davis said initiative supporters have already collected about 800 signatures and should have no problem getting the number they need to qualify the measure.
Still, he said he would like to see the city and citizens group work out a mutual accord.
"We want to be fair to every employee, and we want to be fair to the public," Davis said.
Pacific Grove is in litigation with its police officers over the 2010 ballot measure that caps future pension contributions by the city to 10 percent of an employee's salary. The police association says the city couldn't make the changes without going through negotiations.
Association president Jeff Fenton, comparing the case to a police criminal investigation, said, "We are letting the courts decide on the legality of everything."

The Hiccoughing Solution was a potion that presumably caused hiccoughs.
Draco Malfoy brewed some when Horace Slughorn asked his sixth year Potions students to make something "amusing," but Slughorn was unimpressed with Draco's work, declaring it only "passable."[1]
The Hogwarts Apothecary Department carried Hiccoughing Solution.

Part fantasy, part historical drama, Russia reads as though it were a work of seminal fiction.
A storybook landscape of castles, palaces and cathedrals, this romantic place sets the scene for a famous narrative of valiant champions, incredible riches, celebrated royalty and great tyrants. Yet the real magic of this dramatic country is its wonderfully resilient people and distinctive culture, which are a constant source of warmth in Russia's massive backyard.

Russia Highlights, May 2017
Jason Kim
This trip completely upended in a positive way all my pre-conceived notions of Russia and Russians. Beautiful cities, cultural experiences (try the local banya or a trip to the ballet), informative local guides, great combination of rural and urban. All enhanced by an unbelievably fabulous leader in Ksenia. I strongly advise adding at least two extra days in St. Petersburg and another in Moscow (so much to see and do).

Most nationalities require a visa for Russia. You will need a Letter of Invitation (LOI), sometimes called a Voucher or Visa Support Letter in order to apply for your visa.
You can obtain your LOI online through our local partners in Russia. Instructions and a link to the website will be sent to you at the time of booking. Read the instructions carefully and fill in the online application form. You will then be able to download your LOI instantly. Please note that we will add 3 days to the LOI duration before and after your trip dates for your convenience. If you are planning to stay longer than these dates please let us know as we will need to manually request a LOI to fit your specific travel plans.
The LOI included in the cost of your tour is for a Single Entry Tourist Visa. LOIs for other types of visas may be organised at your own expense and paid directly to our local partners, Parallel 60 (www.visain.ru)
You must apply for your Russian visa in advance. Visas are not available on arrival or en-route. Once you have received your LOI it is your responsibility to apply for your own visa either directly at an embassy or by using a visa agent. We do not recommend trying to obtain your Russian visa outside of your home country or place of residence as your application may be refused.
Use ONLY the information and dates on your LOI when filling in your visa application. There is no need to reference Intrepid Travel or include a copy of your itinerary as Parallel 60 is the official inviting organisation, not Intrepid. Do not be concerned if the destinations and accommodation listed do not match your Intrepid trip exactly. This information is for the purposes of obtaining the visa only, not an indication of where you must travel and stay in Russia.
* Letter of Invitation (LOI)
* Photocopy of your passport
* Passport size photo (up to 4)
* Flight or other transport details - if required
* Please check with the embassy for any other specific requirements
Please be aware that visa extensions are NOT possible in Russia.
Train tickets in Russia are booked with passport numbers. Please make sure you provide us with your correct passport number. If you have to renew your passport after booking please notify us as soon as you have a new passport number and bring your old passport with you on your trip. If we receive changes to passport numbers less than 30 days prior to departure we cannot guarantee purchase of train tickets.
We do NOT recommend travelling on multiple passports for trips that involve border crossings by train. This can cause difficulties with train ticket bookings and cause significant issues delays at Immigration.
All foreign citizens entering Russia are required to fill in a migration card. The entry portion of the card will be retained by Immigration upon arrival. The stamped exit portion of the card must be kept with your passport during your stay in Russia and submitted to Immigration upon departure. If you are not given a migration card at Immigration on arrival you must request one, even if the immigration official says that you do not need one. Loss or failure to receive the exit portion of the card will result in you not being able to travel on our trip as all hotels require this card for registration and may result in significant delays or fines upon departure.
Tipping isn't mandatory in Russia, so is left up to the discretion of the individual. Some restaurants may already add a 10% surcharge to bills, otherwise feel free to leave spare change or round up the bill.
Travellers will be able to find internet cafes in Russia's large cities like Moscow and St Petersburg, but less so in rural and remote areas. Internet access is available on the Trans-Siberian Railway for certain legs of the journey. This requires purchase of a local connection (around US$40), which will work with some laptops and certain 3G devices.
Mobile phone coverage is generally good in the cities and regional centres of Russia, although coverage may not be available in remote areas. Remember to activate global roaming before leaving home if you wish to use your phone while in Russia.
Travellers can expect to encounter both squat toilets and modern flushable toilets while travelling through Russia. Be prepared by carrying your own soap and toilet paper (as these aren't always provided). Additionally, some public toilets may require a small fee payment before access.
Trip on the metro = 25 RUB
Internet access = 100 RUB per hour
Bottle of beer = 35-50 RUB
Snack at a cafe = 200 RUB
Dinner at a restaurant = 800-1,500 RUB
Drinking tap water isn't recommended in Russia. For environmental reasons, try to avoid buying bottled water. Ask your leader or hotel where filtered water can be found and don't forget to avoid ice in drinks and peel fruit before eating.
Large hotels, restaurants and shops often accept international credit cards; however, smaller shops and vendors may only accept cash, so be sure to carry other modes of payment as credit cards aren't always an option in Russia.
Travellers will be able to find ATMs in Russia's large cities and regional centres. Remote and rural areas will have less ATM availability, so prepare accordingly before venturing out of metropolitan areas.
Absolutely. All passengers travelling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is very much an essential and necessary part of every journey.

Munich is the proud capital of the Free State of Bavaria. With some 1.35 million inhabitants, it is the largest city in Bavaria and Germany's third largest city. Apart from the largest folk festival in the world, the Oktoberfest, Munich has many more attractions to offer its visitors. Almost everybody, for example, has heard of the Hofbräuhaus.
The famous beer hall on Platzl in the old town is well attended throughout the year. Not far from there is the Viktualienmarkt, one of the places where the locals like to hang out. Munich's stalwarts meet here in the beer garden for the morning pint and the chef of the gourmet restaurants buys his ingredients in the market stalls.
There are many other main attractions right in the center: the Church of Our Lady with the onion domes and the panoramic views is Munichs landmark, the city hall in the Gothic Revival architectural style towers (do not miss the chimes at 11 and 12 clock) right at the beautiful Marienplatz, the Alter Peter offers visitors that will climb the 306 steps to the top a breathtaking view to the Zugspitze on clear days.
Behind the Karlstor and Stachus extends Munich's old town including the shopping street with the highest turnover in Germany. For fans of machinery and equipment, this is a must: the German Museum on Museum Island in the Isar. It is the most visited museum in the Republic. Art lovers visit the galleries of the art premises in Munich.
The people of Munich love the River Isar and you can tell they do by all the lively urban green space along the riverbank. You get to swim, picnic and BBQ. If the Isar leads high water you can even surf in some places, but it is best watching this spectacle from the bank. Built for the 1972 Olympic Games is the Olympic Park, with its distinctive glass architecture is another recreational center of the city. The castle of the Bavarian Herrscherfamililie, the Wittelsbach also deserves to be discovered. It is one of the magnificent buildings of the dynasty.

Police arrested a Vacaville man Saturday who authorities say is suspected of abusing an elderly woman who managed to escape and seek help at a local church, officials reported Tuesday.
Kevin Lee Wooten, 39, who was on Post-Release Community Supervision following a prior conviction for elder abuse, was taken into custody by officers after they contacted the 74-year-old alleged victim when she sought help at a church in her South Vacaville neighborhood, according to the Vacaville Police Department.
The victim told church officials that she had been a victim of elder abuse and they then contacted police.
Officers learned the victim had had more than $700 stolen from her bank account, and had allegedly suffered both physical and mental abuse at the hands of Wooten.
He was arrested on suspicion of physical/mental elder abuse, financial elder abuse and for violating the terms of his PRCS, authorities said.
Anyone with information regarding this case to contact Officer Debi Lopez at 449-5200.

As long as we got Eli, I'll believe no lead is safe from us.
Who were some of the posters who were going to crack first? I know it was not I. Oh and I was closest to the score I had Giants 43 and Browns 27 as the final.
I was feeling confident.
No. Every team is gonna be up for the world champs. Browns blew their load early & we outscored them 41-13 the rest of the way. This was the last easy game of the yr. Next 11 games will be the toughest in the NFL, schedule wise. 4 more tough division games, & 7 teams that made the playoffs last yr, 49ers, Steelers, Ravens, Falcons, GB, NO, Cincy!
If we can make the playoffs after going thru this 11 game juggernaut of a schedule, I feel real good about our chances at repeating!
Yep, Thought this was gonna be the day we actually laid an egg at home against an inferior team. But....... I knew bradshaw would bounce back quickly, said to my friend"He is a veteran, and nobody on the sideline has to talk to him" I knew he would come back with a vengance. Didint know how big it would be but he surprised the hell out of me!!! Kudos to AB1!!!!! And the Oline.
I was at the game today and when we were down 14-0 I didnt panic, hell I laughed like a damned madman cause I knew that redemption was coming
Come check the G-Fambulance and The Scarf Soldiers every home game in Lot L6, and like us on facebook and instagam 'NYG Scarf Soldiers'
Thought it was going to be a tight game. Maybe they pull it out at the end, but certainly did not expect them to be up 10 points heading into halftime, ha!
Against the Browns no. If they do it again next week that's another story.
Reminded me of the Seatle Seahawk game last year-except with a better ending.

QuilterMomma's quilt is almost finished....just needs to be quilted....can't wait to see it finished.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
QuilterMomma's quilt is almost finished....just needs to be quilted....can't wait to see it finished.
Tam...Moo - looked at your blocks and they are very pretty.
I was very excited to complete a big chunk of my quilt today and lay it all out. four more blocks and I am ready to sew it all together. Ok only three but I decided to toss one and start it over. I will be happier and so will Twinriversfarm. I think the frog pond is going to turn out just fine. I love the colors.. so get ready girl you will soon have to take mine off your wall and do a trade out with me.
Here today... why what a lucky bunch we are.
Looking forward to it Linny.
Life is short, live it while you still can. QuilterMomma
My quilt top has one more seam and the top will be done! Yippie, I love it so much that I now want one for myself! But I guess I am in luck because now I know who can make it! haha... Mom is doing very very good. She is back in her Apartment in the assisted living facility. Now she is looking forward to her 80th birthday party.
So that means my next quilt will be one that is a family tree, I am thinking og how I want to design it. I think if I start with a tree trunk with branches and make all the family members leaves it might be kinda cute... got let that one work it's self outta my head!
Give a smile away today, someone you meet might need one!
sounds like everyone is nearly done with their quilt tops. I have another 18 blocks to reverse sew and correct before i can put top together. however, it is not moving fast as i have been busy on other projects which also have been slowing losing my interest. I find myself wallowing in the "blahs"--no energy, no ambition, totally no get up and go. Can Spring hurry up and bring an end to these dreary overcast days so I can get back to my normal self?
Roseirish, I'm in the same boat. My goal...have top done by the end of the month. we are the slow and steady in the group.
oh can I jump on that slow boat? I am thinking today I will be all but done with my blocks. I found I was short one pair of five" blocks. GREAT. Lucky for me Jaba is sending me something that is almost identical to fill in. Phew. I will have that top sewn together this week. Talk about exciting! Like Marybeth this is one I wouldnt mind owning myself. My DH is in love with it. I have never really worked with a lot of batik type fabrics before. I am loving the play on color and the variety of colors within one fabric. oh so fun.
Here today... why what a lucky bunch we are.
Miscalculated amount of one fabric, now realize I have a snafu in the current design. Nothing carved in stone yet, working on a detour around that pesky little problem.

Established in 1965, HAWS assists over 6,000 animals and welcomes more than 31,000 human visitors annually. As an "open admissions" shelter we lead the community in animal welfare and assure sanctuary for all animals in need, regardless of age, health or temperament. HAWS is a non-profit, entirely donor-fund organization with an active humane education program, and both wildlife and companion animal rescue services for Waukesha County.

Adopt 4 Paws from HAWS: Bubby Will be Your Buddy!
February/Adopt-A-Rabbit month continues, and we present the latest addition to HAWS' Adoptable Bunny Family.
Beautiful Bubby is a Holland Lop rabbit. She is an adult female, has been spayed, and has a stunning jet-black coat. Bubby is sweet, but still a little bit shy and getting used to handling. She enjoys leafy green salads – a girl's gotta keep her figure, you know! Bubby is waiting for her new forever human to love.
Did you know that a group of rabbits is called a herd? Rabbits are very social animals that like other bunny companions to live with in a "warren" or hutch.
If a house rabbit is properly cared for and spayed or neutered early in life, it can live to age 8-12 years! Rabbits require an owner that is able to make that lengthy commitment to them.
By the way – HAWS has a number of neat events coming up – something for everyone! We'll be joining in the fun at the Milwaukee Admirals Dog Day game on March 3rd (you can purchase tickets to benefit HAWS through the link on our website). Our annual Bunny Day is coming on March 10th. AND, our 3rd annual Extreme Makeover: HAWS Edition is March 17th!
And don't forget World Spay Day is coming up this Tuesday...

Gamechanger: Obama rocks America with speech everyone's heard 50 times before; Update: Panned by … MSNBC?
posted at 4:41 pm on June 14, 2012 by Allahpundit
It took 54 agonizing minutes, the only silver lining of which is that the RNC will have plenty of material for the inevitable "you've heard this all before" ad tomorrow.
Yes, there have been fierce arguments throughout our history between both parties about the exact size and role of government, some honest disagreements. But in the decades after World War II there was a general consensus that the market couldn't solve all of our problems on its own; that we needed certain investments to give hard-working Americans skills they needed to get a good job and entrepreneurs the platforms they needed to create good jobs; and we needed consumer protections that made American products safe and American markets sound.
OBAMA: In the last century, this consensus, this shared vision led to the strongest economic growth and the largest middle class that the world has ever known. It led to a shared prosperity.
It is this vision that has guided all my economic policies during my first term as president, whether in the design of a health care law that relies on private insurance or an approach to Wall Street reform that encourages financial innovation, but guards against reckless risk-taking.
It's this vision that Democrats and Republicans used to share, that Mr. Romney and the current Republican Congress have rejected in favor of a no-holds-barred government-is-the-enemy market-is-everything approach.
Follow the last link for more on how Republicans have chosen to abandon our American family by embracing a draconian small-government ethos that led them to nominate, uh, George W. Bush and Mitt Romney. If you watched his dreary budget speech in April or any of his thousand speeches on the Buffett Rule that's predictably gone nowhere legislatively (and wasn't designed to do otherwise), then your bases are mostly covered. This is worth flagging, though:
Now, these challenges are not new. We've been wrestling with these issues for a long time. The problems we're facing right now have been more than a decade in the making.
And what is holding us back is not a lack of big ideas. It isn't a matter of finding the right technical solution. Both parties have laid out their policies on the table for all to see.
What's holding us back is a stalemate in Washington between two fundamentally different views of which direction America should take. And this election is your chance to break that stalemate.
As BuzzFeed reminds us, the only way the stalemate's going to be broken is if Democrats take back the House, and pretty much no one thinks Democrats are going to take back the House. So this is his new pitch, per the "clash of competing visions" theme: It's not enough to re-elect The One, we need to give him a mandate — and a blue Congress, presumably — on top of it. Interesting idea. If only he'd had a landslide win and a Democratic Congress before, imagine all the wonderful things he could have done for America.
Via Greg Hengler, it's mandate time.
Update: Via Mediaite, I don't get it. What's wrong with a dull, repetitive 54-minute speech delivered by a guy whose numbers seem to dip every time he's on TV for too long?

Caring for a loved one can be hard emotionally and financially. You may have to help him or her make some tough decisions, and you may even hold a legal Power of Attorney. It can be hard to take time off from work – especially without pay – and if your spouse is ill and can't work, it can be hard to pay the bills alone.
Plan ahead and know where to get help. The government's Compassionate Care Program helped more than 5,600 working Canadians in 2006–2007 alone. Use these resources to learn more.

UTSA makes progress on tularemia research
By Kris Rodriguez
Public Affairs Specialist
(July 1, 2008)--Researchers at the UTSA South Texas Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases and the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSCSA) have identified a cell type believed to play a role in controlling the early infectious process against Francisella tularensis, a respiratory pathogen and bioterrorism agent that causes tularemia. The findings will be released this week in an article in the journal, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society

Article tools
The organism is considered to be a life-threatening bioterrorism agent by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Tularemia is an illness caused primarily by bites or scratches from rabbits, rodents and hares. In most cases, the bacterium causes relatively benign fever, chills and headaches that can be treated with antibiotics. However, when spread by aerosol the organism can cause severe respiratory illness and systemic infections and is associated with a 30-40 percent mortality rate.
"We have found that mast cells, historically associated with allergic conditions and asthma, may also be involved in priming innate and adaptive immunity against tularemia," said Bernard Arulanandam, UTSA College of Sciences immunologist and associate professor of biology. "Our studies show that mast cells can interact with other cells and control the number of bacteria that replicate. This opens up a new dimension into how we look at mast cells against this organism, Francisella tularensis."
In 2005, the Department of Health and Human Services awarded the UTSA South Texas Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases a five-year $6.4 million grant to study tularemia.
Collaborators in the published study include Jyothi Ketavarapu, Annette Rodriguez, Karl Klose, Neal Guentzel, Thomas Forsthuber, Jieh-Juen Yu, Yu Cong, Ashlesh Murthy and Bernard Arulanandam at UTSA, and Mike Berton with UTHSCSA.
"I think this journal article shows the quality of the researchers that we have managed to attract to UTSA, and we should be proud that important research is taking place on our campus as opposed to a medical school someplace else," said Karl Klose, executive director of the South Texas Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases. "This is really a move in the right direction towards developing this university into a premier research institution."
Comprised of 19 research teams led by College of Sciences faculty, STCEID is one of the leading emerging infectious disease research centers in the country, generating more than $10 million in research funding from the National Institutes of Health and private organizations since opening in 2005. STCEID research focuses on critical areas of human health including anthrax, tularemia, cholera, Lyme disease, desert valley fever, and other bacterial and fungal diseases.
STCEID's advanced research laboratories on the UTSA 1604 Campus are in the Biosciences Building, Margaret Batts Tobin Laboratory Building and the Biotechnology, Sciences and Engineering Building. Included in the facilities are two high-level containment biosafety level-three (BSL-3) laboratories for infectious agents research.

text: In order to get your spam under control (well in the right direction) you can run the sa-update command and keep your 'rules' up-to-date. I'll outline what I have been using and am happy with. This may be obvious for some but hopefully helpful for others. First, sa-update needs to have two additional perl modules installed that are not needed required for spamassassin to function. These are LWP, Archive::Tar (Nov 2006 bug report). It was also mentioned that UserAgent.pm was not installed by default elsewhere in this forum. In order get all the required perl modules installed use the following command: Code: apt-get install libwww-perl libarchive-tar-perl This will allow the script sa-update to run and update your rules. However who wants to do this manually? I have created by own script that emails me the results of the updates each morning. For me this is preferred as I get many other daily emails from the servers so I can keep an eye on my background tasks. (I'll assume you know how to create and make executable the sh script) Code: #!/bin/sh PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/bin ######################################################################################################################### #Written by Jason Shewchuk # #E-Mail: jason <> shewchuk.ca # #Version: 0 # #Date Created: Sept. 20, 2006 # #Date Modified: Sept. 20, 2006 # #Feel free to use and modify this script. Let me know of changes you have made so I can learn and improve this script # ######################################################################################################################### #Today's date today=$(date +%Y_%m_%d) #Run sa-update /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/bin/sa-update exitcode=$? #Exit code from sa-update #Find version of sa-update version=$(/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/bin/sa-update -V | grep "sa-update") if [ $exitcode = 0 ]; then echo "An update was available, and was downloaded and installed successfully. You are now running $version." | formail -c -I"Subject: sa-update Updated for $today - Updated" -I"From: [email protected][email protected][email protected] You will need to update anything located in the {} brackets. Once this is done jump into your crontab. Code: crontab -e Then make your entry. My script in this example is located in the root of 'root's' directory. I've also got the script running at 03:00. Code: 0 3 * * * /root/sa-updater &> /dev/null If you don't want the emails sent to you daily then just use the following crontab statement. Code: 0 3 * * * /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/bin/sa-update &> /dev/null That should be about it. Hope this is helpful. I'm running this with Ubuntu 6.06 (PPC and x86) I'd like feedback on how this performs in other environments.

The 2009 Ferris State University football team in conjunction with the Ferris Gridiron Club will conduct its 27th annual Bulldog Lift-A Thon fundraising event Tuesday, March 24, at the Ferris State Convocation Center's Jim Wink Arena in Big Rapids, Mich.
The FSU Football Lift-A-Thon, which begins at 6 p.m. (EDT) and is open free of charge to the public, serves as the primary fund raiser for the Ferris State football program. The funds raised from this event will have a direct influence in maintaining the essential elements necessary for the Bulldogs to operate a competitive NCAA Division II football program in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC), which is regarded as one of the nation's top conferences. Proceeds from the Lift-A-Thon will go towards maintaining current student-athlete scholarships, recruitment of new student-athletes, improvement within the weight training facilities, and assistance in the financing of both spring drills and early fall practice camp. The goal for this year's event is to generate over $20,000 for the 27th consecutive year.
The Lift-A-Thon, which was developed in 1982, operates under the FSU Gridiron Club and every dollar contributed to the Lift-A-Thon will go directly to benefit the Bulldog football program through the Gridiron Club. Every dollar contributed for the Lift-A-Thon will go to the football program through the Gridiron Club and those who contribute will enjoy the various levels of benefits associated with the Gridiron Club.
Current members along with a football alumni representative will participate in the power clean competition by weight class. Pledges can be made on a per-pound basis or on a flat dollar rate donation based upon how much weight a participant can successfully lift.
Pledges or payment (checks) may be made payable to Ferris State University and mailed to the following address: Football Office, Sports Complex 114, 210 Sports Drive, Big Rapids, Mich. 49307-2741.
Those sponsoring a football student-athlete will be billed following the event for their per-pound commitment. Michigan residents may claim a 50 percent credit on your Michigan tax return for gifts to FSU, to a maximum of $200 for individuals and $400 for couples. Gifts to Ferris State University also may be tax deductible on your federal return so please contact your tax advisor for details. Matching gifts are also welcomed.

Two Minute Stories
Roadrunner meep meep
While most of the world slept, then worked, then slept again, Thomas Budde, Arts '95, ran nonstop for charity on World Run Day in November.
The 24-hour international marathon celebrated running and asked participants to use the event to raise funds for charity. Budde strapped on his North Face shoes and pulled on a black "GIVE" T-shirt to underscore his midnight-to-midnight mission.
Though the run may have been a one-night charitable celebration for some runners, it was one more way that Budde shared his message about generosity. He founded the Give Shirt movement, which is committed to building a consciousness of giving.
So far, the Give Shirt movement T-shirts and other apparel distributed for charity has inspired donations to more than 50 charities. Get information about the next 24-hour worldwide marathon scheduled this August on the Give Shirt Facebook page.
Framing the moment
Lindsey Chavez, Arts '11, knew she wanted to make special gifts for her closest friends to commemorate their graduation from Marquette.
But she wasn't quite sure how to mark the occasion until she heard a particular passage in the Commencement address by Marquette President Scott R. Pilarz, S.J. In part, he said, "Stay close to each other and grow closer. Dance at each other's weddings. Stand as godparents to each other's children. Mark life's most important moments standing at each other's side."
Chavez had the quote printed over an outline of the state of Wisconsin, with a heart representing Milwaukee. She framed the prints and gave them to her friends.
"We were all off to different adventures, and Father Pilarz's words rang so true," Chavez says.
Take a load off
It's hard to imagine everything that members of a family might need just after losing their home in a fire or natural disaster. It starts with a place to simply sit down.
To help families in their time of need, Olive Promotions donated 100 folding camp chairs to the Southeastern Wisconsin chapter of the American Red Cross. The Brookfield, Wis.-based promotional and apparel firm is owned by Bart, Eng '92, and Patti, Comm '95, Bohne.
Each Red Cross truck that responds to local fires is now equipped with four chairs to be used by Red Cross disaster response volunteers while they counsel victims. Chairs also will be distributed to other Red Cross workers. "The first responders are among the most dedicated people I know," Bart says. "We will continue to look at every opportunity to support this organization."

Los Esteros 2 Power Plant Licensing Case
Docket Number:
03-AFC-02 (Application For Certification)
03-AFC-02C (Compliance Proceeding)
Phase 1: Recertification - 03-AFC-2C
Phase 2: Combined Cycle Addition - 03-AFC-2
Project Status: Licensed; In Compliance Phase. Operational: August 9, 2013.
The California Energy Commission approved this project's Application for Certification on October 11, 2006. The Commission monitors the power plant's construction, operation and eventual decommissioning through a compliance proceeding.
Committee that oversaw Original Licensing Proceeding:
Jackalyne Pfannenstiel, Chairman, Presiding Member
John L. Geesman, Commissioner, Associate Member
Hearing Officer: Ed Bouillon
Key Dates
- December 30, 2003 - Applicant files Application For Certification (AFC) for Los Esteros 2.
- February 11, 2005 - Presiding Member's Proposed Decision of Recertification of Los Esteros 1 released.
- May 27, 2005 - Final Staff Assessment of Phase 2 - Combine Cycle .
- October 7, 2005 - Presiding Member's Proposed Decision released.
- Septmeber 22, 2006 - Revised Presiding Member's Proposed Decision released.
- October 11, 2006 - Energy Commission approves Los Esteros 2 project.
- August 9, 2013 - Power plant on line and producing power.
On December 30, 2003, Calpine filed an Application for Certification of the Los Esteros 2 Critical Energy Facility. This AFC has two parts or phases.
Phase 1 of "Los Esteros 2" sought a license (recertification) for continued operation of the Los Esteros 1 Critical Energy Facility located in the City of San Jose. Los Esteros 1 was approved by the Commission on July 2, 2002, as a "peaker" power plant with a limited three-year period of operation. Phase 1 of Docket 03-AFC-2 (Los Esteros 2) requested recertification. That recertification was approved on March 16, 2005. Because this recertification was filed under Docket 03-AFC-2 and was licensed, that first phase of the project is now handled under a compliance proceeding, 03-AFC-2C.
Phase 2 of "Los Esteros 2" is a proposed 180 megawatt natural gas-fired peaking power plant consisting of four simple-cycle combustion turbine generators and associated equipment. it would be built at the same location as Los Esteros 1. This phase also seek a license for conversion of the facility to a combined-cycle operation. This licensing proceeding is under Docket 03-AFC-2.
Energy Commission Facility Certification Process
The California Energy Commission is the lead agency (for licensing thermal power plants 50 megawatts and larger) under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has a certified regulatory program under CEQA. Under its certified program, the Energy Commission is exempt from having to prepare an environmental impact report. Its certified program, however, does require environmental analysis of the project, including an analysis of alternatives and mitigation measures to minimize any significant adverse effect the project may have on the environment.

Very nice apartment near the beach . Lovely and clean swimming pool. the balcony door is not closed and the coffee pot was missing. we got the very next day assistance to them. Many thanks!!
Generally I'd like to confirm what people before me already have mentioned - nice flat with a lot of space but a few shortcomings (like everywhere), really short way to the beach, pool, supermarket round the corner, good connection to Barcelona, super nice host :) quite noisy because of the trains right behind the building but after some time you get used to it. Ventilators have now been available :) 3 sleeping rooms, so especially recommendable for families.
Thoroughly enjoyed our two weeks in badalona and the apartment had all we needed. The location to Barcelona is brilliant as the metro is so cheap and easy to use. Also the beach at Badalona is beautiful and we enjoyed visiting it daily even though temperatures were high there's always a lovely breeze on the beach. We shall certainly be visiting again!
We had a pleasant stay. The apartment is really nice and close to the very nice beach. The pool is also acceptable, not large but in a small garden not crowded as only access for a limited number of people.
The underground station is close by and it takes only 20 minutes to go to centre of Barcelona.
The kitchen equipment (pots and pans are really poor quality or damaged) but we reported that and expect that to be improved.
We had to wait for 1 hour at arrival to get the key (which was a bit of a pain) as they knew when we arrived.
The shuttle to and from the airport works fine and the check out from the apartment was also precise.
By mistake we didn't get the key to the pool area, one phone call and the key was delivered to the apartment during the day.
It is very recommendable.
We were 6 persons => 2 adults and 4 children (age 16,16,14 and 10) and we had a very nice vacation.
Only thing is that the area do not contain too many restaurants.
We had an amazing week in the apartment in Badalona. Nice place, great service and a wonderful beach.
Thank you from Family Skjoldborg from Denmark
Very nice appartment in a local area. The service was fine. Vi had a nice time.
Poulsen family from
We had nothing but bad experiences here. When we arrived, the apartment had not been cleaned and we were told that it wouldn't be finished until 11 pm. We had problems with the parking, as our car was towed from being parked in the wrong spot (weren't told a specific place to park), etc. The location is on the metro in badalona, which is easy to get to the city but a bit far. The apartment itself was big and accommodated us well. Had issues with the airport shuttle being late and with communication at checkout. Probably just miscommunication, but would not recommend staying here.

My primary area of research is Modern America, more specifically U.S. foreign policy from the time of World War II. In recent years, my research has focused on two topics. First, I have been examining America's Cold War relations with the neutral states of Europe. Relatively little work has been done on relations with nations like Sweden, Finland, and Austria, which tried to steer an independent course as Europe divided into the two blocs dominated by the Soviet Union and the United States. Materials in the National Archives in Washington, DC, and in the various Presidential Libraries offer a wealth of documentation showing how America's relationship with these states evolved from suspicion to acceptance. My second area of interest is in the McCarthy era. Recently declassified material, such as the VENONA files, allows the historian to reexamine this controversial period and offers a more nuanced understanding of the anti-Communist activities of politicians such as Senator Joseph McCarthy and figures accused of espionage, such as Alger Hiss and Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.

I picked these up years ago on the RPF, shortly before MR released their own set. They have resin grips, but the body is machined aluminum with brass parts.
As you can see, they mostly fit into the MR shipping box, save for longer barrels and other size variants around the triggers. I wondered who whipped these up, as they must have been a MASSIVE research project. I sure got the better part of that deal, I've seen the MR and never looked back about using these. Besides, I can tell everyone that my barrels are longer, and they can't argue Does anyone remember who was working on specs and making these before MR got in the game? Just curious,

Got a call for an easily accessible swarm on the porch of a suburban home a couple of days ago. It was the largest swarm I've ever encountered. Massive. They had already started building a few palm sized combs under a small bench and against the house wall.
I set up a hive, two deep, including a comb of honey/pollen, and they started going in, and I saw the queen. I picked her up and ushered her to the entrance. The bees were rather slow in entering, and sluggish.
Then I noticed that there were a lot of crawling and dying bees scattered across the porch. Something odd was going on. I asked the homeowner if anyone had sprayed them, and she said no.
Anyway, I went and picked up the hive to take to the home yard early this AM. There were more dead and crawling bees around the porch, and a few small clusters of bees that could barely move at all.
I set up the hive in the yard and let them settle down. When I checked them this afternoon there was a pile of dead and dying bees out front, maybe equivalent to 1-2 pounds in a package, and dozens scooting around and spinning, unable to fly, in the grass. I opened the hive and the bees were very sluggish, many falling off the combs and crawling all over the ground, unable to fly, or curled up and dying. There were more, seemingly half dead, in clumps on the walls or floor I didn't see the queen on this inspection, so figure she is in the pile of dead bees.
It's quite a waste, and a shame they are dying off like this but I wish I knew why. I never seen anything like it.
