Also Present: P. Davis, H. Moe, S. Morrill, B. Dimick
Absent: E. Krszjzaniek, P. Townsend
Excused: R. Curtis, L. Davis-Brown, J. Kreten
Call to Order: Pres. J. Taft called the meeting to order at 12:20 p.m.
Minutes: C. McGuire moved approval of the August 14, 2006 minutes. M. Howe seconded. Motion carried. Tom Brown requested a delivery cost report. Phyllis noted Bruce Smith, Delivery Coordinator would be speaking at the November board meeting.
Bills for Payment/Financial Statements: B. Keen moved approval of the bills for payment in the amount of $170,531.14. J. Hanson seconded. Motion carried.
President's Report: Jack Taft noted he will be resigning from the board due to health reasons. Francis Cherney will fill in as President for the remainder of the year. K. Williams thanked Jack for his years of service to the board.
Committee Reports: The Advocacy Committee will be meeting after the October Board meeting. They will finalize the application form for Annual Library Legislative day in Washington, discuss and finalize a timeline for the application process and also determine the criteria for selecting a SCLS representative to attend. They will bring their recommendations to the board for approval at the November meeting.
SCLS Foundation Report: Phyllis noted Sue Ann Thompson has agreed to be on the honorary board. Jodi Sweeney and Phyllis recently visited Mazomanie, DeForest and Cottage Grove to discuss the SCLS Foundation. It looks like the Monroe Board may be the first to sign a membership agreement. Recruitment for a planning committee is underway as well as development of PR materials for the Foundation campaign.
Circulation and ILL Statistics: No report.
System Director's Report: Phyllis and Stef are working on the 2007 budget and annual plan. The Budget/Finance/Personnel Committee will be meeting October 2 to review and discuss the annual plan, 2007 budget and resource contracts. Their recommendation will be presented to the board for approval October 9th.
The delivery project is moving along. Bruce Smith will give a presentation at the November board meeting.
The State has decided to stay with Autographics as the vendor for WISCAT-ILL. Most of the expense for the product will continue to be covered by LSTA funds. Phyllis asked the state to close the gap between the cost and the price for systems. The State's contract with Autographics is for five years, but can be cancelled at the end of any year.
With regard to the LSTA evaluation plan, the DLTCL staff is looking back at the last five years and ahead to the next five years. SCLS libraries have suggested that the funds be used in the future to push toward new directions.
SCLS was praised by staff from the Kilbourn Public Library for creating big savings for the Wisconsin Library Association by providing A/V and computer equipment for the upcoming conference at the Kalahari. The hotel would have charged quite a bit for the use of specific equipment and SCLS was happy to help defer those costs.
There is still time to register for System Celebration!
Stef discussed the LSTA grants SCLS is applying for – Delivery ($60,000), System Technology ($44,000), which are non-competitive. The Family Literacy grant and "Digital Books for Everyone" are competitive grants.
SCLS is moving ahead with hiring a Library Technology Coordinator. The ad has been placed, resumes have been received, and the committee will review the resumes and determine which applicants will be interviewed in early November. The job description for the Continuing Education Coordinator has been distributed to staff and member libraries for review and the ad will be placed shortly.
SCLS is in the process of planning for the annual meeting, which will be held in April.
SCLS announced to its members that the Administrative staff will be available via IM (Instant Messaging). We're experimenting with a new method for communicating with one another and member libraries. This will give people a chance to try different technology and perhaps view this as the first step toward IM reference projects.
The Counting Opinions test project is proceeding. Six libraries, including Madison, have volunteered to participate in trying this survey tool. Regularly seeking input from the public that we serve is one of the major directions included in the strategic plan. More information can be found on the web at www.scls.info/plans/demographics06.pdf.
SCLS is partnering again with Wisconsin Public Television. Three programs will acknowledge SCLS – Plaza Sesamo, Between the Lions, and Reading Rainbow.
Report on 2006 Summer Library Reading Program – Shawn Brommer
Shawn shared some impressive statistics and information about the benefits and value of the Summer Library Program for children. As all reports are received, the data will be combined and made available for advocacy efforts and shared with the libraries and the greater community.
Information Sharing: None

Russia's Svetlana Romashina secured her fourth gold of the world championships and her 15th major title when she teamed up with Svetlana Kolesnichenko to win the synchronised swimming free duet on Thursday.
Opting for an ear-bursting Metallica number, the Russian pair amassed 97.680 points for their routine, easily beating Chinese twins Jiang Tingting and Jiang Wenwen into second on 95.350 and repeating their success from Sunday's technical duet.
Local favourites Ona Carbonell and Margalida Crespi were third for Spain with 94.990.
Romashina, who won both solo golds in Barcelona and now owns 12 world championship and three Olympic titles, said the idea to use the Metallica song had come from coach Tatiana Dachenko.
"I was a little bit surprised at the beginning," the 24-year-old told reporters. "But when we started creating the programme I felt it was interesting and very quickly we realised that this programme was going to be good for us," she added.

Top Stock #1:
Quest Diagnostics (DGX)
I predicted that Quest Diagnostics (DGX) was poised for another round of great earnings, and I was
right. In the second quarter, DGX reported a 17% profit increase thanks to a jump in clinical testing revenue. As a result, this stock posted a decent
earnings surprise.
The laboratory operator earned $188.2 million or $1 per share, compared with $161.3 million or 82 cents per share last year. Revenue increased 3%
to $1.9 billion. Analysts were expecting earnings of 95 cents per share on total sales of $1.89 billion, so Quest easily beat the Street.
Thanks to the company's better-than-expected results, DGX raised its full-year profit outlook for the second time this year, which is great news
for investors. Demand for Quest's clinical testing services is going strong, so make sure you're well-positioned in this stock now so you can ride
its upward momentum all the way to top.
This company is the leading provider of independent diagnostic testing in the U.S., and has seen very strong sales even amid weak consumer spending.
We have already seen a nearly double-digit return in Quest since our purchase in the June issue of Blue Chip Growth,
and I expect further success for us.

A lot better than we were expecting.
If you're of a certain age and breed of gamer, one of your seminal memories of gaming will be from this game's namesake, the original Tomb Raider. In between pushing cyclopean blocks to solve strange puzzles, and working out the best sequences of jumps and climbing to get past a level, there's a mess of wildlife to deal with - wolves, typically - but the real surprise...
A Tyrannosaurus Rex, charging out of a shadowy cavern. If you didn't squeal and immediately run for your life, you're made of sterner stuff than me.
The latest iteration of the game, effectively a reboot and much grittier than before, explores what made Lara Croft such a dangerous figure. It places her on her first big expedition, one where she is young, inexperienced and... in for a hell of a surprise.
The elephant in the room
There was a huge controversy earlier in the year regarding one developer's reference to an apparent threat of, well, rape. As distasteful as this all was, the actual event in the game happens very early, and is hardly the focus. Taken out of context, it's easy to feel the game trivialises the issue; but in context, it's more organic to the story and far less controversial.
If anything, the whole discussion tells us more about the importance of marketing and PR in gaming. After playing the game, it does seem to have been blown out of proportion.
Lost and alone
So, Lara is looking for a lost Japanese treasure (it's more complex than that, but... spoilers) as part of an expedition made up of stereotypes: there's the genial Islander, the stuck-up professor, the gruff Scottish friend of Lara's father who believes in her absolutely... you get the idea. But it all goes wrong when their research vessel hits a storm, is blown onto rocks, and the party is split up on a mysterious island.
It's a good setup, because you have numerous points where NPCs direct and provide focus for Lara, help explain backstory, act as conduits for learning game mechanics, and overall add a lot to the game. Also, as Lara explores the island, the game pauses as she wistfully rewatches footage from a recovered camcorder, showing parts of the voyage and various onboard mysteries.
There's a very solid story in Tomb Raider, and after two hours with the game we're as keen to discover more as we are to find more ways to bounce around complex environmental puzzles, and shoot crazy island people.
Run, run... JUMP!
The core of the game, however, remains exploration, leavened as always with combat. Both systems are thoroughly modern in their execution.
The exploration starts as linear and very simple but ramps up fast, and before you know it you're presented with challenges that require you to run, explore, collect, climb and generally be very, very aware of your environment. Whereas past Tomb Raiders have often been one-solution puzzles, many of the environments in this iteration are more open – it's easy to make the mistake of thinking that any apparently complex solution is the best path to progress, but there are often simpler ways to get from A to B. You may not find all the hidden extras, but it's rewarding to cut straight to the chase, as it were. Other puzzles are more classic, requiring you to balance weights, set things alight, and generally stand around staring at the environment until that Eureka! moment.
Combat features heavily, and it's human prey that you'll spend most time hunting – or being hunted by. You'll have a range of weapons to defend yourself with, as well as a lot of tricks to learn in an RPG-like skill-tree. And along the way, there's a lot to learn about the island, its history, and the people who've come there – and perhaps stayed – before you.
So far Tomb Raider's looking like a pretty solid game. We played two hours of the roughly 12 hours' game time of the final product, and it looks to contain enough variety, tension and story to satisfy anyone. More importantly, the way it tells Lara's story is deftly managed, with enough darkness, empowerment, and just plain cool stuff to satisfy anyone.

George Grenville
14 October 1712 - 13 November 1770
George Grenville entered Parliament in 1741 as a representative of the borough of Buckingham in the House of Commons. He served as treasurer of the navy, 1754-1762, was admitted to the cabinet in 1761, and, later that year, was appointed leader of the House of Commons. In 1763, Grenville succeeded Lord Bute as Prime Minister, and was charged with curbing Britain's growing debt. In an attempt to raise revenue in the American colonies Grenville introduced the Sugar Act (1764), the Currency Act (1764), the Stamp Act (1765) in Parliament. Colonists vehemently resisted these new regulations, arousing opposition to Grenville's policies within Britain. Frequent disagreements with his Prime Minister finally led George III to dismiss Grenville in July 1765, but Grenville continued to publicly criticize those who opposed American taxation.

Paint The Town Red This Holiday Season
With a week left until Christmas, there are those of us who are still in the process of making a list and checking it twice. If you are a last minute shopper and want to do your part this holiday season, opt for getting that special someone the (PRODUCT) RED Special Edition cherry iPod nano and Apple will give ten dollars of its purchase price to the Global Fund to fight AIDS in Africa.
PopSugar was one of the first blogs to expose the product red initiative, which includes a wide range of products. With Apple's iPod alone, The Global Fund hopes to raise millions of dollars. Here is a pic of two of the world's biggest supporters of the RED line, Oprah and Bono, promoting the RED products in Chicago.

Linden Higgins, Lecturer and Research Assistant Professor
- Ph.D., The University of Texas at Austin, 1988
Area of expertise
behavioral and physiological ecology
Contact InformationEmail: Linden Higgins
Office Hours: M W 9:00-10:00 F 10:30-11:30
Marsh Life Science Building, Rm 111
Phone: (802) 656-8521
Website: Linden Higgins
I work at the interface of ecology, evolution, and behavior, using a broadly-distributed spider to study how populations of this species persist in very different habitats with little obvious morphological differentiation. In the past, I have focused on behavioral and physiological ecology to better understand the environmental factors underlying observed patterns of life history variation among populations. Currently, I am examining the relative importance of genetic and environmental factors in adaptation of juvenile development, size at sexual maturity, and age at sexual maturity to local environmental conditions.
One major goal of ecologists is to understand the distribution of organisms across habitats. Many organisms are habitat specialists, found only in particular habitats and often associated with a narrow range of ecological conditions such as temperature regime, soil types, or plant host. The evolution of such habitat specialization has attracted a lot of attention from evolutionary ecologists. However, habitat generalists are also a common, and much less studied, phenomenon. An understanding of how organisms can survive in a variety of environments can also aid our understanding of how local adaptation occurs.
The large, tropical spider Nephila clavipes is widely distributed orb-weaver in the family Tetragnathidae. It is found from the southeastern United States to Misiones Argentina. Within this range, it occurs in a variety of habitats, from lowland tropical rainforests receiving 5 m of rain annually to mid-altitude deserts with 30 mm of rain annually. Using this spider and related species, I seek to understand the mechanisms whereby a single species can survive in diverse environments with little evidence of heritable (genetically determined) local adaptations.

Denver Nuggets On-Court Warm-Up Jacket
I'm not really a Denver Nuggets fan but I like their jersey re-design a few years back. The blue/white/gold colorway is pretty diggable. This is a dope warm-up jocket that I would definitely rock.
I love the old-school Denver Nuggets logo. It's a shame that they went away from it. This is a dope New Era. Has a smaller Nuggets logo on the back.Tags: fitted cap, baseball caps, new era, Denver, denver nuggets, nuggets, fitted hats, 5950Added 9 Years Ago from Dr Jays

Shaver ancestors kept their original surnames

them to Shaver. So here is just a little on what I have since their is

'Christmas Magic'
Driving the sixteen or so miles to town on Christmas Eve was a trip I hadn't planned on, for I was content drinking a glass of wine and watching the marathon of Hallmark Christmas movies and staying out of my wife's way, as she made the final preparations for Christmas dinner. She was knee-deep in Christmas cookie dough, batch after batch in and out of the oven.
As I finished my glass of Blue Teal White Zinfandel, which coincidentally timed just right at the ending of 'November Christmas, ' one of my favorite Christmas movies about the spirit of giving, my wife Victoria, called to me.

Five steps forward for ocean protection
World peace remains elusive, yet as 2011 draws to a close, I'm heartened by the terrific progress California has made toward restoring the bounty of our seas and the marine habitats that keep visitors coming to the golden state's magnificent coastlines. I've watched Californians of all ages, from all walks of life, embrace the spirit of cooperation and take collective action to keep our slice of the Pacific Ocean healthy in small ways and large. Here are my top five examples (in no particular order):
1. South Coast Underwater Parks Added to Statewide Network
South coast protected areas received final approval in December, so New Years 2012 will be particularly sweet. It will ring in new and badly needed protections through the Marine Life Protection Act for south coast Yosemites of the sea, like the ancient submarine canyon near Point Dume, treasured tidepools at Laguna Beach and lush kelp forests at South La Jolla. Teams of researchers, divers, fishermen, and citizen-scientists in places like Santa Barbara and Malibu are already at work monitoring the beaches, shores, kelp beds and deep waters off the south coast to give us a picture of current ocean health and uses, and a yardstick for future changes.
2. Ocean Conservation and Tribal Culture in Harmony in the North Coast
On the north coast, conservationists, fishermen, divers and tribal communities created the state's first unified community proposal under the MLPA, a plan that incorporates traditional marine gathering by the region's tribal communities thanks to leadership from local residents and Resources Secretary John Laird. Hawk Rosales of the Intertribal Sinkyone Wilderness Council wrote in the Sacramento Bee that native people will "celebrate this significant progress and will stay focused on building a brighter future – for tribes and for California."
3. Marine Protected Areas Go Digital
New tools unveiled this year have made it easier than ever to find the boundaries and rules of protected areas. The National Marine Protected Areas Center unveiled an interactive mapshowing the locations of all the areas in the nationwide MPA system. Not to be outdone, California's Department of Fish and Game launched a new mobile website this fall, featuring a comprehensive, interactive map of all California's marine protected areas and a GPS plotter that allows you to track your location relative to the underwater parks.
4. Sharks Fin Ban Enacted
Over the past 50 years, humans have caught about 90% of the world's sharks, and with demand for shark fin soup growing, there's little relief in sight for the ocean's apex predator. But in a big victory for sharks, Governor Brown signed a bill banning the sale, trade and possession of fins in the state, and California joined Hawaii, Oregon, Washington and Toronto in taking a decisive step to help protect these vulnerable and vital animals.
5. Protection Pays Off: Underwater Parks in Action
Finally, 2011 showed us the benefits that can come from protecting ocean ecosystems. Fitzgerald Marine Reserve—in my own backyard near Half Moon Bay—attracted 133,000 visitors in 2011, up a third from before this reef received full protection. And looking south to Baja California, Mexico's Cabo Pulmo National Marine Park inspires hope: a Scripps report showed the number of fish in the reserve soared 460% over the past decade, indicating that this once depleted jewel of the Sea of Cortez has recovered. I vacationed in Cabo Pulmo in early November to see for myself, and found dense thunderclouds of jacks, schools of snapper, big old golden and leopard grouper, and an immense variety of other creatures. These very fish are disappearing in other parts of their range. But fish, fishing and tourism now thrive at Cabo Pulmo.
As we dive into a new year, huge challenges remain if we are to protect our oceans for future generations. Overfishing is an even bigger problem in the high seas and in other countries' waters than in our own. Industrial uses are growing in the ocean, causing conflicts and risking damage to fragile habitats. A changing climate is altering the chemistry and biology of our waters. So California really deserves kudos for investing in a healthier future for our oceans –despite the mounting odds. Here's a toast to our life-sustaining oceans, to California's leadership, and to more progress in 2012.

Khloe Kardashian's Quitting PETA Because Of The Flour Bomber
"It's just me and my board from here on out."
If you're wondering what's going to happen next in the exciting adventure of "Who Flour Bombed Kim Kardashian?" put a fucking gun in your mouth and kill yourself. And while those people do that, here's Khloe Kardashian announcing she's quitting PETA because the flour bomber is allegedly an animal activist even though we've already covered she was just looking for a chance to work with a real, live Bigfoot:
Hi dolls. I'm sure you all heard what happened to Kim last week (thank you SO much for the love and support you all showed her), and I just received word that the woman responsible has very close ties to PETA, despite PETA publicly stating otherwise. Not only has PETA lied to the public, but they have proved that they support this kind of behavior. I've been a vocal supporter of PETA for a long time but I have also been very vocal about anti-bullying, so this was a huge disappointment for me. As you all know, I don't condone violence and bullying and what happened last Thursday was just that. I am absolutely disgusted by their behavior. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and opinions — I personally don't wear fur but that doesn't mean I am going to force my views on anyone else, ESPECIALLY by violating them. I am a very proud sister right now, because Kim handled last week's incident like a champ. She got cleaned up and was back out there in a matter of minutes. Go Kimmie!
We all need to practice what we preach. I will still continue to NOT wear fur, but I will no longer support PETA. Bullying and harassment is NEVER a solution, and I won't be a part of any organization that thinks otherwise.
So assuming this flour bomber wasn't paid by the Kardashians, which she was, she not only threw flour all over Kim Kardashian but also made sure we'll never see Khloe's naked airbrushed ass telling us not to wear fur? (Which I'm pretty sure counts as harassment, Khloe.) Are we sure this person was a woman? Because I want to say it was Jesus. Jesus was the flour bomber.

Apparently people like stupid lists. That's hardly news to me, but last week really drove the point home. My column was the ultimate in stupid lists: my personal rankings of MLB team nicknames. Not only was it about as lightweight an article as I've ever written, it was possibly the most linked to article I've done in memory. Suffice it to say, I kicked myself for not squeezing in a reference to the fact my new book "Evaluating Baseball's Managers, 1876-2008" is now available for purchase.
At any rate, if people like stupid lists, that's perfect for me. My two specialties are making lists and being stupid. This is right up my alley. Besides – it's the off-season. If it wasn't for dumb lists what the hell would we have left to talk about?
This week's dumb list: ranking stadiums I've attended. No, it isn't even a remotely deep or original idea. It's still a fun, dumb column to scrawl out, though.
A few guidelines:
– Distinctive features are positives, provided that distinctive isn't a euphemism for stupid.
– The most important feature is always the sightlines you have of the field.
– That said, factors like food, friendliness, and ambience also play roles here.
The second factor is key, because I am a confirmed upper-deck denizen. The majority of talk about baseball stadiums comes from the perspective of people in the good seats. This is key, because the interests of different sections can come into conflict.
For example, a long complaint of many old-time stadiums focused on people unable to follow the flight of fly balls because the upper deck hung over them. Stadiums in the last 20 years solved this by picking up the upper deck and moving them back. Voila! No more obstructed views – from either poles or overhangs. All sections have clearer views of the field, but if you're in my area , you're much farther from the action. It sucks.
But that usually gets brushed over in most accounts of stadiums. I suppose my perspective is no better than those of the lower-deck dwellers, but I do think the main interpretation needs an upper-deck corrective.
I've attended 15 stadiums, but can only rank 14. I was in Candlestick Park as a kid for about three innings. I hardly remember anything about it, though. Anyhow, here are my rankings, based on my experiences.
1. Wrigley Field (Chicago)
I suppose it's a cliché to rank this one at the top, especially since I'm a Cubs fan, but this place really does have the best upper-deck seats around because you're so close to the field. Plus the place looks great with the ivy and the old scoreboard and the rooftops and all that.
I still cherish a game I saw a dozen years ago in Seat 1, Aisle 1, Section 517. It was an absolutely tremendous seat – which was remarkable because it was directly behind a pole. Really. But I just had to lean a tad to the side and had a perfect view of the field, and could look out beyond it and see not only the rooftops, but some boats out on Lake Michigan.
Wrigley doesn't have as much amenities as other places, but it makes up for it.
2. Safeco Park (Seattle)
This place was a revelation when I saw a game there during the 2006 SABR convention. It was a pretty place with nice sightlines without anything really wrong with it. What I found remarkable was that the place supposedly has a retractable roof. The game I saw was a rain-free day, and looking at the top of the place, I had difficulty figuring out where the roof came from.
That's an overstatement – it clearly came from one side of the field – but had I not known it was retractable, I never would've guessed. The stadium just had an open-air feel, very unlike what I'd previously encountered with Miller Park's retractable roof.
3. Rogers Centre AKA the Skydome (Toronto)
This is baseball's most underrated stadium. It's pre-Camden Yards, which is usually seen as a negative. However, at this point in time so many teams have gone the Camden route, Toronto's place comes off as a bit special.
More importantly, its most memorable features are positives. First, it's next to that big Canadian space needle thing-a-ma-jig. Awesome sight.
Second, if you go there, get there early. You can see a bunch of perfect circles of empty blue seats. It looks awesome. There is something very peaceful and inviting about seeing it that way.
4. Camden Yards (Baltimore)
Yeah, I know I'm ranking it too low. This place is an enigma for me. On the one hand, I have strong reasons to believe my experience missed a lot of what made it great. I've heard people who've been there tell me it's a great overall atmosphere when you go around the entire facility and all the accoutrements that come with it. However, in my one game there I arrived during the first inning, and decided I'd rather watch the game than walk around. Thus I missed some things that make it special.
I'd be tempted to kick it up above Toronto, except my experience watching the game was not quite what I expected. I remember when the place opened it was hailed as a bold new departure for a stadium. This point was reinforced where I lived in Chicago, where the last pre-Camden place, New Comiskey, was erected.
Thus you can imagine my surprise when I got to my seat and felt like I was back on Chicago's South Side. The places really didn't seem very different. In part that's because both stadiums have changed over the years. Camden no longer had the old style scoreboard when I went, and the Sox have retro-fitted their place to modernize it. Regardless, watching a game in noveau-retro Camden reminded me far more of Comiskey II than actual-retro Wrigley.
Baltimore's a nice place and if I had more time to experience it I'd probably rank it higher. But it ain't Safeco.
5. New Comiskey – AKA The Cell (Chicago)
The Camden commentary might've made the comparison of it and New Comiskey seem like a disparagement to Baltimore. That wasn't quite my intent, as the South Side stadium is fairly underrated.
The most common criticism of the upper deck is that the seats are set up rather steeply up there. While there's truth to that, I don't think that different from my experiences in Baltimore and Cleveland.
My main upper-deck complaint is that they won't let you walk around the lower concourse at all. Most places will, and that lowers the experience. The Sox used to let everyone do that, and then came Shirtless Father and Son Night.
That said, the sightlines are good (though far away, as is normally the case). And the place boasts a few special strengths. First, it has the best ballpark food of any place I've ever been. Some may disagree, but those people probably don't like churros, so I don't see how their opinion about food can be taken seriously.
More randomly, this place does the best job finding National Anthem singers of any place on the planet. Maybe this is just the random luck of the draw, but I'll routinely hear a sensational version of the song here when I go. I still remember a time about 10 years ago I heard four opera singers do a multi-part harmony with the song and it was so brilliant the crowd began cheering halfway through – and this was before 9/11. It's a small part of the ballpark experience, but the Sox routinely nail it.
6. County Stadium (Milwaukee)
An analogy: Ever had one of those jobs that makes the Dilbert comic strip a little too funny? For a while I worked in such a corporate-newspeak place. My superiors were always friendly and courteous and I began reflexively checking my back for stab wounds whenever I finished a conversation with one.
There was one obvious exception. One long-time veteran set up with his own little fiefdom was an out-and-out lout. And God bless him for it. He was a damn jerk and wasn't going to pretend otherwise. His openly grating attitude was frankly refreshing in that place. Whatever his faults, you always knew where you stood with him. I didn't mind him in the least, provided I dealt with him solely in small portions.
That's County Stadium. I finally made it up to Milwaukee in its final years of existence. It was a dumpy little hole with seats behind poles and plainly visible corrugated metal that the team could barely even bother keeping up to code. Its unapologetic staleness was a breath of fresh air. It wasn't putting on any false pretenses or affectations of gleam. It promised you a ball game and as an added bonus it likely wasn't going to collapse on you during the contest. That was about it. While the extra amenities are nice, isn't that all you need?
Does this contradict my statement up top that distinctive features are positives provided they're not stupid? I suppose it does. Hey – who wants to be consistent all the time anyway? Consistency is something you want when building safety features for nuclear power plants. Wasting it on your impressions on baseball parks makes even less sense that squandering a quality stadium on the 2000 Brewers.
Oh – the place also has the greatest tailgating facilities I've ever seen. I'm not a tailgater myself, but it's worth mentioning.
7. Old Comiskey (Chicago)
My dad took me to several games here when I was a kid. However, my memories are surprisingly vague. It seemed like a nice place, but it didn't really catch my attention. I liked the old green chairs and the exploding scoreboard, but aside from that it just struck me as a standard stadium.
8. Jacobs Field, or whatever it's called these days (Cleveland)
It isn't a bad place, but it's overrated. Like Camden, I heard a lot of good things about it (especially in comparison to New Comiskey), but was shocked at how generic it felt when I got there.
Not only did it remind me of New Comiskey, but it seemed clearly inferior. For example, while Comiskey has a fairly steep upper deck, Jacobs Field's was even worse. And at least Chicago puts a cupholder for you – Jacobs didn't.
My main memory was the lack of food selection they had. They had the typical wheel of commerce on the upper deck's concourse, but every single stand sold the exact same food. They made no attempt to mix it up at all, which is not only embarrassing, but shows a lack of interest in their upper-deck denizen's experience. I've been told they've addressed this issue, but it should've never been a problem in the first place. At least Wrigley can use its small size as an excuse for its food problems.
9. Angel Stadium (Anaheim)
This one is tough for me to rank because the only game I caught there came when it was under renovation. Half the park was closed down. As a result, it had an overall subdued impact on me. It was an odd circumstance, so I don't want to rank it too low. Then again, it wasn't a good impression, so I can't rank it too high. I'll put it above the stadiums I was openly disappointed in, but nothing more.
10. Great American Ballpark (Cincinnati)
It doesn't live up to the name. I attended only one game there, but it seemed a bit generic. Its main distinction was a giant red steamboat wheel in centerfield. It was just trying too hard.
One other oddity: The vendors all engaged in some odd multi-tasking. A lot had two different items for sale, and they were completely random items. I kept expecting to see someone hawking beer and cotton candy.
11. Busch II, which according to B-ref is actually Busch III (St.Louis)
I was only there one time, but there was so much I didn't like. Immediately upon entering the stadium, I wanted to walk around and get a feel for it. I felt like I was in an obstacle course. I ran into a stairway, a brief jut of concessions, some other obstacle – it was an unusually difficult walk. Modern stadiums normally have an easy Wheel of Commerce behind the seats, but that wasn't the case in this bit by the outfield gate I entered at. I got frustrated and soon stopped.
It was uncomfortably humid where I sat. At first I thought it might be the luck of the draw. SABR's seats were in a corner underneath an overhang, and it stormed but good, so I figured the stadium trapped some of the moisture. Then I had an exchange with someone with more experience with the area that informed me otherwise. It went something:
Me: They weren't great seats, but I think I just had a bum location.
Not-me: How so?
Me: The place I sat trapped all the humidity.
Not-me: You know what they call that place that traps the humidity?
Me: No. What?
Not-me: St. Louis.
Me: (pauses for a beat). Oh.
That wasn't the main problem, though. It just looked … wrong. While Toronto had nice, inviting waves of blue seats, Busch II featured nothing but off-putting red. I can't really describe the type of red. It wasn't quite brick red or light red or anything like that. It's like they specifically went to the color makers and had them create a new shade of red just for the stadium: Glare Red.
That bugged. I was relieved to see the fans show up and block my view of the seats. Stop and think about that sentence for a minute. I'm a Cubs fan who was tickled to see 40,000 Cardinal fans walk into the room so I wouldn't have to see the surroundings. That is bad.
12. Miller Park (Milwaukee)
God ate concrete and crapped out Miller Park.
I haven't been to every retractable dome out there, but I have to believe this is the worst. It's the anti-Seattle. The place feels so confined when the roof is open that it makes you wonder why they didn't just go ahead and make it a year-round dome. I've been to it a handful of times, and each time my opinion of it lowers further.
They still have the tailgating facilities (it's on the same property as County Stadium was), but the park itself is dismal.
13. Olympic Stadium (Montreal)
A lot of bad things have been said about this place over the years, and all of them are deserving. Though I think many of the modern retro stadiums are overrated, they are sure as hell a step above the previous generation. Olympic was a sterile, lousy place to watch a game.
14. Metrodome (Minnesota)
It's a fight to the death between this and Olympic for the worst stadium. This ranks lower because at least Montreal had the metric system on the outfield walls and sounds of French being spoken to make it a little interesting. The place was ugly – especially the roof. And there weren't any redeeming features to it. The only good thing was that it was indoors, keeping the cold early and hot late season weather out. Unlikely as it sounds, it's possible their new open-air stadium will be a step in the wrong direction.

Cazenove Capital has announced that it intends to launch a new European fund for head of pan-European equities Chris Rice.
The Cazenove European Income fund will seek a combination of high income with some long-term capital growth and will aim to outperform the FTSE World Europe Index when it is launched in May this year.
The investment firm claimed that the new fund was in response to client demand for an income-focused product with exposure to European equity markets.
Cazenove believes that the yield on European equities is currently 'very attractive'.
'Against a backdrop of suppressed valuations and low growth expectations, the FTSEurofirst 300 is yielding 4 per cent – twice that of German bunds and there are over 100 stocks with yields in excess of their price per earnings ratios,' the investment manager said in a statement.
Rice added, 'Europe is a dynamic market and we will adopt a business cycle approach to managing the fund.
'In recovery phases of the market, this will see us favouring cyclicals with the potential for dividend recovery, while in an economic slowdown we will be biased towards companies offering potential for dividend growth.'
He continued, 'This approach should enable us to provide consistent and increasing levels of income for our investors with some capital growth in a range of market conditions.'
The fund will invest in a concentrated portfolio of 30 to 50 stocks and will pay income quarterly.
Cazenove also announced that James Sym has joined the European equities team, having worked in the UK equities team at the firm since 2007, and that he will work with Rice in managing the new fund.
Said Robin Minter-Kemp, head of investment funds at Cazenove, 'There are few European income funds and the combination of Chris Rice's experience plus the income opportunity is an attractive offering for investors.'
Minimum investment in the fund is £1,000 and the annual management fee is 1.5 per cent.

Q: I often dream that I am falling. I've heard this type of dream reflects feelings of insecurity — and I certainly have those, since I'm worried my partner will leave me. To gain more insight from my dreams, what should I look for?
A: You're correct in thinking that dreams of falling reflect feelings of insecurity. Such dreams might be prompted by a sense of failure or impending failure in a love relationship.
Dreams, of course, have a logic all their own, and can be quite disturbing. But they reflect our wishes and conflicts, and can be a tremendous source of information.
Dreams can help you decipher the messages you don't even know you are sending yourself.
There are six common dream themes. Along with dreams of falling, these include dreams of:
Being naked.Clothes conceal. Without them, you're exposed. So this dream symbolizes feelings of shame or vulnerability. Whether or not you are hiding something, you might be feeling that people can see through you. Or you might fear showing your true feelings in a relationship.
Problems with teeth.
In a dream, are your teeth falling out? This symbolizes rejection. Or you might be feeling powerless, unconfident, inferior, unattractive and unable to hold on to someone important to you.
Being chased.
You might be trying to avoid something. Can you identify the chaser? This might clarify what you're trying to avoid. If the person or thing chasing you is identifiable as a part of yourself, the dream might involve a fear from within, such as an unhealthy relationship or unhealthy behavior.
Some flying dreams are terrifying; others are exhilarating. Dreams of flying can reflect a sense of control. This includes wishing you had control over something you don't, struggling to stay in control or fearing you wield too much control.
Test-taking.This is a classic anxiety dream — that you are taking a test you haven't studied for, playing an unfamiliar instrument, or forgetting your lines in a play. You could be worried you aren't measuring up to your own or others' expectations. You might feel unprepared for a challenge or unsure of your abilities. On the other hand, a pleasant test dream could mean you have overcome a challenge or exceeded an expectation.
By viewing your dreams as a tool, you can further your understanding of yourself and your relationships with others.

As is true for all languages, everyday English in the United States includes many slang terms and idioms (expressions that have meanings different from the literal meanings of the words they include). These terms and expressions may be encountered in the medical setting and in interactions with people in any setting. The websites below can provide some assistance in better understanding these terms. For information on specific slang terms and jargon used in the medical setting, please visit the "Medicalese" Glossary.
A note of caution: Appropriately using slang terms and idioms can be challenging, and when such terms are used inappropriately it can lead to miscommunication. It is also important to note that some slang terms, even when used correctly, are offensive. The best way to learn and master these terms is in conversation with peers or with people outside the medical setting. Also, please note that many of these sites have advertisements for products, books, and services; none of these are endorsed by ECFMG.
This site has a very extensive list of idioms. Partly because it is so large, it is a bit difficult to navigate. However, in addition to the idioms and slang terms on this site, there are links to several other sites for more idioms, slang terms, and even related podcasts.
This site has a good, though not exhaustive, list of common slang terms and a good list of idioms. Both lists are very accessible and easy to use. They not only define the terms but give examples of usage.
This site contains many more slang terms than idioms. It is one of the easiest sites to navigate, and it is designed to show terms but withhold the definitions until the user clicks on a button. This allows users to practice or self test their knowledge of slang. Terms can conveniently be studied in sets of 10, selected randomly by the program.

Kristin Chenoweth Banned from 'Glee'?
Creator Ryan Murphy says he's putting a ban (of sorts) on guest stars and tribute episodes — something the show took a great deal of criticism for this past season. Kristin (who guested on another FOX show this week as a judge on So You Think You Can Dance) says she understands the decision, but that the news is a "bummer."
"I think he's trying to get his show back," Kristin tells Zap2it. "I think he's trying to really concentrate on his characters. I actually understand that. I get it. People want to see those characters."
Even so, she's sad to see her character go. "Of course it's a bummer for me because I love April Rhodes," she adds. "But he needs to get his show back, so I get why he's doing that."
It's not like the pint-size performer has a ton of time to do further guest spots, anyway. She has her first country album, Some Lessons Learned, coming out this September, plus a new ABC show called Good Christian Belles that will air this fall.

In this article, I begin with section 1 by presenting the five main sacrifices found in the first seven chapters of Leviticus, including their relations to the requirement for Israel to be holy. In section 2, I describe the functions of the levitical sacrifices, and in section 3, I compare these with the functions of the multifarious sacrifices carried out by the Supyire people in southern Mali. After arguing the case for translating the functions rather than the forms of the levitical sacrifices (contra the majority of English translations), I present, in section 4, suggestions for Supyire renderings of the sacrifices based on their functions.

Editorial's policy of giving their split EPs of edits and reworks a distinctive theme has always been a bit of a winner. Here, they return to the world of slo-mo, soul-flecked edits, with a quintet of sumptuous scalpel works for our delectation. 78 Edits impresses with the winding sax, horizontal bump and head-nodding grooves of "Meet Patti", while DJ Moar offers up a slinky, electric bass-driven ride into slow disco-house territory in the shape of the Rhodes-laden "King Bob". Hot Box and P-Sol both deliver heavily compressed, filter-sporting toe-tappers for those warm-up moments where you just want to get locked into the groove, while Jona Saucedo brilliantly combines dubbed-out modern soul vocals with an attractive loop from Fonda Rae's boogie classic "Touch Me".

In absence of much or any breastmilk, do you find toddler formula to be necessary after 1 year? My 12 month old is still nursing, but I've caused my supply to drop (long story) and the baby only nurses about twice per day. I don't believe she gets much those two times.
Would you use toddler formula in supplementation, and if so, which brand would you choose and how often would you give it?
Thank you.
P.S. Baby eats very well, mostly organic fruits, veggies, eggs, etc.
If baby is eating well, there is no reason to give toddler formula, which is a gimmick and unnecessary in the vast majority of children.
I think most kids don't need it. My son didn't.
My DS is 19 months and we do use toddler formula.
My situation is that we've breastfed from birth, but I've always had genuine low supply (long story...but basically my supply did not increase despite trying a whole range of things and so my DS needed formula supplement in order to gain weight).
At the 12 month mark I did offer him other types of milk (cow, almond, rice, coconut) but he did drink it, so we switched instead to a toddler formula.
We still continue to nurse on demand, but I notice that without giving him the toddler formula, his diaper output decreases rapidly. My DS does not (ie by his own choice/will) drink any other liquids besides breastmilk and toddler formula, so it is important that he gets enough fluids to stay hydrated. He is also a very picky eater and eats only a small amount of a very limited range of food. So in my DS' case, toddler formula is just one of several foods that he takes in, this is the way I look at it.
I would say, to use your own judgement based on your knowledge of your DD's food and fluid intake to determine if your she needs fluids other than the breastmilk she gets. Remember, they do need to be hydrated as well as fed.
I agree that if your child is eating well and taking in sufficient fluids, it is probably unnecessary.
I would disagree that toddler formula is "gimmicky" - there is a genuine time and place for it - such as the situation I described above.

My DS2 weaned earlier than I would have like and much earlier than my other kids, due to back-to-back miscarriages and a surgery that just tanked my milk supply. He is sensitive to dairy and soy so he doesn't drink other milks, he eats a fantastic variety of foods and usually just drinks water. We never considered toddler formula.

Nope, not if they are eating and drinking. I wean my kids at around 15 months & give them some Pediasure mixed with cow's milk to get them used to the taste of regular milk. They get weaned off of this in about a month and move on to just plain milk in a bottle once or twice per day for a while. The rest of the day, they always have access to water in a sippy cup.
Redmom, I absolutely see your point. I look at things like Pediasure and toddler formula as tools that can be v useful when needed. It sounds like your son needs it, so use it! For a "good" eater, it's not necessary.
