Well, here is the actuall story:
i was walking through our school like a month ago and i saw some girl on the stairs. "Nothing fancy" - i said to myself. "There are a lot of girls around so i'll consider this situation normal...". But it wasn't quite normal. I woke up the next day with the feeling that something ain't right. The only thing in my head was that girl i saw on the stairs. I tried to concentrate on chemistry(!) and nothing happened. I tried to work on physiks(!!!!) - the same. I tired to program something(!!!!!!!!!!!!!) - didn't work.
I started to goof around and everybody noticed that. They gave me some advices like the standart ones:
"go and talk to her" "take her to a date" "invite her to a movie"
After some days this feeling made me almost nuts so i decided to actually go and talk to her.
I've put on some nice clothes, brushed me teeth (for second time this year!!!!), bought some ment candys and i went to her. But she waasn't in school that day. The situation was the same for 3 days and every next try was more painfull than the other.
Finally, i found here in the physiks room (this is a weird sign, huh :wtf:) and i asked here to come for a little privat talk. I explained her that i'm thinking of her day and night. Then i invited her to a date so we can learn some more stuff of eachother. She refused by just saying "I don't think so"....
And that was all. It was hard for me that day but you know, this girl changed by entire life and since then i also see the good things in life. Well yeah it's kinda brutal that i have to see her everyday in school and that i can't be with her but, oh well, it's all fate after all.
If you think it's dumb, just don't post an answer...
I explained her that i'm thinking of her day and night
Saying that to a girl in the first 5 minutes of talking to her is never a good thing... But we've all been there
Saying that to a girl in the first 5 minutes of talking to her is never a good thing... But we've all been there
not true. it's more like playing russian roulette. chances are that she liked you too beforehand and was just too afraid to talk to you... slim chance that is anyway, what's wrong with telling a girl that you like her ? i always did it that way and it worked out for me just fine (after i was 17... before that somehow girls were just chasing guys over 20... not that i blame them. when i look at youg boys i wouldn't care to go out with them either, if i was a girl). after all i think it's not that you say it but how you say it that might trick a female into going out with you
Nothing wrong in telling a girl you like her, but I was saying the same thing as you. Its how you tell her, not what you tell her. Saying "I noticed you on the stairs the other day" is better than "I noticed you on the stairs the other day, and since then you have been in my mind every second of the day". Most girls (though granted, if they like you loads to, not all), would think "errr... stalker!"
greatly depends on your looks i guess
We're computer programmers.... were screwed
.. girls are a difficult thing ..
my only big advice: forget about her, move on to the next one..
and now anubis walks in here and sais "so, dave.. why don't you follow your own suggestion?"..
well.. damnit:D
hehe i was indeed about to say that... a good advice anyway
One thing that I learned the hard way is that a girl is not comfortable with someone that love her more than she loves him. As most people say, it's all in the word you use. I've noticed that if you say something like "I'm interested in you", you have much more chances of getting a new friend, and even girlfriend. It doesn't always work, but from my own empiric evidences, it seems to work better by showing interest rather than showing love. Showing love is like Anubis said : a Russian Roulette with a bullet in every chamber except one.
But most important of all, never let hope goes down. Someday, sometime, that magic thing called love will come to you. As for myself, I'm still waiting, but I have a lot of new friends with whom I have wonderful time, and it all turned out for the best.
wow, this topic grew fast. Must be a topic close to everyone's heart (pun intented).
wow, this topic grew fast. Must be a topic close to everyone's heart (pun intented).
Hehe, what's what I thought too.. What a romantic story you have there!
i wonder why women have this sharp sense for turning you down in the most hurting fashion imaginable
because the only way to really love someone is to open yourself. and that open, only your true love can hurt you that strong.
that said, with two of my ex i'm happily living now in friendship, and similar to what thecell told, yes, it is sort of more intim and more close than a "normal girlfriend". we don't only know the good of eachother, but we know as well on how to hurt each other till heart. i'm happy we where able to stay above this, never let drop the good things, the things that made us love eachother, out of the heart.
in that sence: greetings to isabel and sandy, you're always in my heart, thanks for the great time, and i'm looking forward to a great future with you..
those are the ones i can really trust in.
sadly it didn't worked out that fine with the last one.. the one a lot of you in here even saw picts and all.. i miss you, and i hope to find together with you one day in peace.. this duck'n'cover play of now isn't fun, nope, it just hurts.
because the only way to really love someone is to open yourself. and that open, only your true love can hurt you that strong
maybe that's what was wandering about in my mind when i wrote that last post.
I have this friend, which I've known for about 3 years. For some reason, I started to think more and more about her about 3 months ago. I finally told her that recently, I've had growing interest in her, and that this interest was more than the interest friends share. She told me that she noticed my growing interest, and that she found me interesting, but simply not in the same way. She added that even though she didn't had that same interest, she absolutely wanted us to stay good friends. She then inquired about if I would be able to get past this, etc... I think that was exactly the things to say and do. She turned me down in the less hurting way I could ever think of. We used to be somehow close, but since that day, we're very close. As I said, it turned out for the best. I simply say to myself that it simply wasn't my time, and maybe even the right person
i had the same experience with a friend of mine, too. i didn't know her for that long but the result was the same. it wasn't her fault but it hurt plenty for reasons she couldn't know
btw, i apreciate this thread very much. we should all share more of our personal life here...
yeah, i like it, too..
i'm at home right now, and feel very relaxed, but not tierd.. one of those nights with the mixed feeling of feeling free and feeling lonely..
happy-sad is a strange feeling.
Bah, didn't expect that people will actually care....
Anyway, it was really my first experience (before that, i was explaining myself in love to the newest AMD processors ) so i guess i didn't picked up the best lines to say to her but it wasn't that bad too.
Forget her? Pretty much impossible for the time beeing since my mind refuses to obey me from some time now....
Anyway, the life continues and nobody's dead so we can safely assume that nothing bad has happened (nothing bad != nothing painfull ) .
Well that's it. I just recieved Andre' LaMothe's book so i'll try to concentrate a little more on that.
davepermen : when i'm in that kind of mood i usually put on some ambient music and try to make a wellness evening/night out of it (bath tub, candles, tea or whatever suits you)
problem just was, it was about 6-8 hours too late to call it evening/night
well, at dawn, i thought about going out to walk into the sunlight.. but it was too cold, so i went to bed instead...
now it's about the same again (but the sun is "one hour late now" ).. so.. no walking in sunshine.. and i'll go to bed soon. my left leg hurts like hell, wasn't able to shake at all this night (i did anyways:D).
love is understandable. but it's not controlable, and not at all logical. (well, it follows certain logic, but not the one you want to:D).
i'm seeing that in different situations currently, and it's.. i'll call it interesting.
oh, and mihail. i know those steps are hard to do. i can tell you one secret: i for myself never got yet that far to ever talk to a girl by myself to get her for a date, or something. and i had yet 3 girlfriends, and had a very nice time with them.
you don't need to follow the 'rules' you learn in the sitcoms in tv

Activation and Function of Eosinophils in Conditions With Blood or Tissue Eosinophilia
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This study will investigate how, why and under what conditions eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) become activated and will examine their function in immune reactions. Eosinophil counts often rise in response to allergies, asthma, and parasitic worm infections. They can also go up in uncommon autoimmune conditions and, rarely, in association with tumors. Elevated levels of these cells is called eosinophilia. Usually, eosinophilia causes no apparent symptoms, but in rare cases there may be local swelling and itching, allergic lung problems, heart disease or nerve damage caused by the release of toxic substances in these cells into body tissues.
Patients 1 to 100 years of age with eosinophil counts greater than 750/ml or an abnormal accumulation of eosinophils in the skin or body tissues may be eligible for this study. All participants will have a thorough medical history, physical examination and blood tests. Depending on the person's age and symptoms, other diagnostic tests may be done, including specialized studies of the eye, lungs, skin, bone marrow, nerves or heart. This is not a treatment study, and no experimental treatments will be offered. Patients who require treatment will receive standard medical care.
Certain other procedures may be requested solely for research purposes. All participants will be asked to donate extra blood for laboratory studies investigating how immune cells and other immune substances in the blood act to stimulate a rise in eosinophils. In addition, some participants may undergo one or more of the following:
- <TAB>Annual Follow-up evaluations - Physical examinations and blood tests to evaluate changes in the patient's condition and eosinophil counts over time.
- <TAB>Bone marrow biopsy and aspiration will be recommended during the initial evaluation, and in certain patients at other times when it is important to look directly at the newly developing cells in the bone marrow. For this procedure an area of skin and bone is anesthetized with xylocaine (an anesthetic similar to that used by dentists), and a very sharp needle is used to sample the bone marrow for evaluation. Bone marrow biopsy and aspiration can have side effects of pain and/or bleeding into the skin and soft tissues at the site of the procedure. Rarely the area at the biopsy site can become infected, and is treated with antibiotics.
- <TAB>Genetic testing: Some of the blood drawn from you as part of this study will be used for genetic tests. Genetic tests can help researchers study how health or illness is passed on to you by your parents or from you to your children. Any genetic information collected or discovered about you or your family will be confidential.
- <TAB>Leukapheresis (only patients 18 years and older) to collect large numbers of certain cells - In this procedure, whole blood is collected through a needle placed in an arm vein. The blood circulates through a machine that separates it into its components. The white cells are then removed and the rest of the blood is returned to the body, either through the same needle used to draw the blood or through a second needle placed in the other arm....

I have been a Spawn fan since the sixth grade. I could relate to Al's depression and everything..and I am curious as to what new directions they will take him in the story. Last I knew is that he was finally able to control his cloak for the most part, and that it had been permanently attached to his body and heart. So, I know I am probably really behind but the reason is not needed; I am just curious as to what they will do with Al and Merlin.
Any thoughts??

Since i last wrote here??…. Time flies in this place and its just been very very busy what with everything we do here but that is no excuse! Its time to allow time for blogging, newslettering, facebooking, tweeting oh and some work too running this place…
I'm at a big social media seminar in Portland this week where the secrets of how to do all this and do it better, i hope will be explained. In fact Flyte Media running the seminar love the book "social media, an hour a day"! Which hour would you like? 24th? 25th? 26th? LOL
Anyway, thats enough of all that, whats been going on here since i last blogged…
Well we have a fantastic Facebook fan page right here that really seems to of taken on a life of its own… 242 fans and counting!! Whoohoo! Click the link, then click "become a fan" and keep up to date with all that we're up to. Lots of pics and soon to have video too.
We've started tweeting on Twitter and i think when i get back from the seminar i'll know more to get that started properly. Heres the link Twitter and search for BrewsterInn and thats where you'll find us
Laura our guest "that never left" from CT has been up to redo 2 more rooms. The Hideaway and Fern rooms have now changed and the Hideaway looks great.
Its our seaside theme and looks so much better than how it used to look. Its part of the old 3 car garage.
The Fern room (our handicapped accessible room) is still being finished but already looks better. When we get the official pics, i'll post them here.
Next on Lauras list and starting tomorrow (21/9) is the Game room, one of the big wood paneled rooms is going to be upgraded and have additions. The rooms a great room but we're just going to make it better with pics to follow soon.
Outside the garden has been worked on a lot this summer. Its changed so much. All the pics and info are on our Facebook fan page but heres a few for a taster
The 2 big trees at the back in the pic below will be coming down in a week or so by an arborist. Both the trees have turkey tail fungus and big splits in them so its time to bring them down before they come down on their own
And the bark mulch that we'll have when we chip up as much of these 2 trees as we can, as well as being used for landscaping will be put under under the 2 trees below at one of the main entrances. Combine that with a new and fancy postbox and maybe a nice seat under the trees and it will look great!
We also in 2010 plan to start to bring the lilac hedges back to the Brewster Inn from when the Governor lived here. Thats one thing that a lot of people that used to live in the town that come and stay say, that they always used to be able to smell the lilacs round town, well we plan for that to happen once again.
Business has been excellent again this year and each year just seems to get better and better. So many guests keep coming back along with new guests and it really does make it all worthwhile. The house will soon be pretty much repaired throughout hopefully by the year end and when the trains running again round the walk thru conservatory, the house is fixed! Until we have the next idea anyway… like the best ways to heat this place in the winter which we're pondering right now. Thinking of zoning all the rooms with their own thermostats as we've had enough of the system in its present form where you have to heat the whole 8000 sq ft even if you just have 3 rooms sold
Till next time!

CORAL GABLES, Fla. - The Atlantic Coast Conference issued a statement regarding the NCAA's investigation into the University of Miami's athletic department.
Commissioner John Swofford issued a statement Thursday, saying: "We are supportive of Miami's continued efforts to work with the NCAA on bringing resolution to this case. Miami's cooperation throughout this process should be commended and they have self-imposed significant sanctions. They've been forthright and diligent in their efforts to fully cooperate with the NCAA and it's time for this case to be brought to closure."
The notice of allegations was delivered to Miami on Tuesday, and the university is facing the charge that it had a "lack of institutional control" — one of the worst things the NCAA can levy against a member school. The charge revolves around how the school allegedly failed to monitor conduct of Nevin Shapiro, a rogue booster and convicted felon who provided cash, gifts and other items to players on the football and men's basketball teams.
University President Donna Shalala said Tuesday night that the Hurricanes have suffered enough already through self-imposed sanctions.
A source told the Associated Press assistant coaches Clint Hurtt, Aubrey Hill and Jorge Fernandez provided false or misleading information during the probe.
The university has 90 days to respond to the Notice of Allegations before a hearing before the NCAA's infractions committee.

Former NFL wide receiver Titus Young is a troubled man, facing criminal charges in his third arrest in less than a week. He faces arraignment Monday in the latest chapter in a life gone bad.
The latest: Young, 23, was apprehended early Saturday in San Clemente, Calif., in a residential break-in. First reported by the Detroit News, the arrest came after Young tried to flee police and fought them when cornered.
Given his legal problems, it's likely Young will never play in the NFL again.
He was cut loose by the Detroit Lions in February and released shortly after signing with the St. Louis Rams soon thereafter.
Young was held Sunday on $75,000 bond in Orange County, Calif., according to MLive.com.
The latest and possibly most serious arrest follows two May 5 cases in Riverside County, Calif. Young was arrested for driving under the influence, and 15 hours later was arrested when he tried to steal his car from an impound lot.
Young is from Los Angeles.
Friday's home invasion and flight ended in "a brief struggle," Sheriff's Department spokesman Lt. Joe Balicki told the Detroit News. "He wanted to fight with the deputies. They ended up subduing him."
Balicki told NFL.com: "They chased him down. There were some punches thrown, some kicks, but there was no Tasering."
There was no indication Young knew the occupant of the home, described as a male. The resident called 911 at 12:14 a.m. local time.
NFL.com offered this information:
According to 911 dispatch logs, the home's sole male occupant called the police shortly before midnight Friday after someone had opened his bedroom door and left. The resident then grabbed a rifle and waited for police. Deputies arrived nine minutes after the initial call and at 12:14 a.m. a person wearing "red overalls" was reported running on Calle Casino. A helicopter was requested to help look for the man, but by 12:20 a.m. the cuffs were on.
Police photos showed Young wearing a red sleeveless T-shirt.
Young was a 2011 second-round pick from Boise State. However, he failed to meet expectations, quarreled with teammates and left Lions officials lamenting their decision to draft him.
After the two May 5 arrests, Young's former high school coach, E.C. Robinson, told NFL.com he feared for his pupil's safety.
"Based on the last time I did see him, I knew unless he got some help, there was going to be some issues, and I told him that, too," Robinson said, according to the Detroit Free Press. "And I thought maybe since I hadn't heard anything from him, he was in some institute getting some help. That's what I just figured. But I know the last time I saw him, I was just shocked the stage he was in at that time."
Robinson was asked what state Young was in.
"He was talking some things that just didn't make sense," Robinson said. "I don't know, I just wish he'd get some help. I know football is probably out of the question. Right now it's trying to get his life together."

Historically low global crop supplies are causing volatile market conditions which increases feed costs for dairy and livestock farmers. The Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation wants to relieve some of the market's pressure by allowing farmers to grow crops on certain acres enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) without penalty.
"The early-out, penalty-free release of non-environmentally sensitive CRP cropland would help encourage increased supply and allow Wisconsin farm families to benefit from a strong global market demand," said Bill Bruins, Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation President.
The federal Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) pays landowners for idling tracts of farmland for contractual periods of 10 to 15 years. Nationally the contracts on 4.4 million acres are set to expire on September 30, 2011.
"There is a great need for additional acres of crop production this year as global stocks of basic crops like corn, soybeans and wheat will be extremely tight by summer, leaving little room for anything less than a bumper crop," said Bruins. "The release of additional CRP acres could help ensure that grain and oilseed production adequately meet the demand for food and feed, as increased feed costs are eating away at profitable margins for dairy and livestock farmers."
"While it has largely become viewed as a conservation program, CRP was created in the 1985 Farm Bill partly to balance faltering grain markets at the time," Bruins said. "Today we face a completely different situation. Allowing farmers an early release from these contracts without penalty could not only release some of the steam off of today's grain markets, but it will also help cash-strapped U.S. consumers who will not be insulated from the precarious supply and demand dilemma we now face. Not having to pay out CRP payments on those acres would also save the federal government some money."
To be successful, an early-out CRP option would have to be done quickly. Therefore the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation has discussed the issue with some members of Wisconsin's Congressional delegation who could either draft legislation or assist in calling on the U.S. Department of Agriculture to remove the penalties for ending CRP early via emergency rule.
"Time is of the essence," Bruins said. "Delaying a decision will make it too late for CRP contract-holders to make the necessary decisions and investments to get that land into production this spring."
"The Wisconsin Farm Bureau wishes to work with our congressional delegation and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to promptly provide an early-out, penalty-free option for non-environmentally sensitive CRP cropland," Bruins concluded.
Additional Information on the Conservation Reserve Program
* The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) was created in the 1985 U.S. Farm Bill to address environmental goals as well as to reduce crop production in order to stabilize crop prices.
* With a 2007 budget of almost $2 billion, CRP is the largest federally funded conservation program.
* CRP acreage ballooned in 2007 to an all-time high of just under 37 million acres. Today, over 31 million acres are now enrolled. The program is capped at 32 million acres. It's unclear whether enrollment will get back to 32 million acres as contracts on 4.4 million acres are set to expire on September 30. Many predict total acreage is likely to decrease as some non-environmentally sensitive fields are returned to growing crops.
* A sign-up period for new CRP contracts begins March 14 for contracts that start this fall.
* There are approximately 400,000 acres in Wisconsin that are enrolled in either CRP or the similar Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program.

Maccabi Canada has begun its search for coaches, medical staff and chaperones to accompany athletes to the 2013 Maccabiah Games in Israel.
The organization has sent out hundreds of e-mails informing supporters of the move and is using its website to recruit personnel.
The step is just part of a massive shift as the organization prepares for the upcoming Games, said Maccabi Canada president Tom Bacher. At the 2009 Games, the Canadian team consisted of more than 400 athletes and another 80 coaches and support staff.
With that kind of presence, fund-raising becomes a priority and efforts have already begun to raise the millions needed. Each athlete in 2009 was asked to raise $7,500, and the costs in 2013 will no doubt be even greater.
While the heavy lifting has yet to begin, Maccabi Canada raised $50,000 at a "sports challenge" on Oct. 2. Eighty young athletes gathered at Camp Robin Hood to play baseball, softball, beach volleyball, touch football, four-on-four basketball and soccer.
Maccabi Canada's major fundraiser is planned for March 5, 2012, when hundreds are expected to attend a sports media dinner.
In addition to the cost of sending hundreds of athletes to the Games, Maccabi Canada is budgeting to incur an additional $500,000 cost in 2013. That will result from a pre-camp in Israel that will see the Canadian team spend five days training, touring and performing volunteer work.
In addition to building team camaraderie, the pre-camp is important to allow athletes to visit the country in a way they can't when focused strictly on athletic competition, Bacher said.
It's part of his philosophy of creating attachment to the State of Israel, fostering friendships and strengthening participants' Jewish identity, Bacher said.
One way of fostering that identity is to create a local Jewish sports system that will attract young people from an early age, he said. Worldwide, communities are organized around Maccabi sports clubs, but that's the kind of organizational structure Batcher can only dream of – at least at the moment.
Batcher has set an ambitious goal of broadening the presence of the Maccabi movement in Canada, to make it the place to send your kids for both recreational sports and to develop elite athletes.
One idea Bacher is considering is to run elite summer sports camps, associated with existing Jewish camps, which would combine sports and cultural programming. Also on the agenda is partnering with existing Jewish sports programs.
In the meantime, Maccabi Canada is raising its profile through fun events: it will hold its first annual bridge tournament on Nov. 9, and it is already publicizing its annual picnic at Camp Robin Hood in June 2012.
Twenty-seven runners recently participated in the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon, raising thousands of dollars for Maccabi Canada.

Dollar weakness boosted commodities Thursday night. Russia's central bank devalued the U.S. dollar versus the euro overnight, which sent the greenback tumbling against numerous currencies. The implied reduction in the international cost of American goods sparked concurrent gains in the ag commodities. Corn futures rose slightly despite renewed concerns over Chinese rejections of U.S. corn and distillers grains. March corn futures stabilized at $4.2625/bushel in early Friday trading, while May edged 0.25 cent higher to $4.3475.
Soybeans benefited significantly from the dollar weakness. Given the relatively tight soy situation, it wasn't terribly surprising to see beans and product prove somewhat stronger than corn and wheat overnight. Indeed, numerous traders probably viewed Thursday's drop as being overdone. January soybeans bounced 5.25 cents to $13.24/bushel in pre-dawn Friday action, while January soyoil gained 0.07 cents to 38.94 cents/pound, and January soymeal added $2.3 to $443.3/ton.
The wheat markets were mixed early Friday morning. Mixed prospects for Northern Hemisphere winter wheat and spring wheat in South America may lie at the heart of the mixed price action experienced Thursday night. That is, Southern Hemisphere conditions seem to be improving, whereas traders worry that some U.S. winter wheat could be damaged by frigid weather expected next week. March CBOT wheat futures slipped 0.5 cent to $6.055/bushel as Friday dawned over Chicago, while March KCBT wheat futures slid 1.25 cents to $6.4325, and MWE futures dipped 1.0 to $6.3725.
Premiums built into cattle futures seemingly undercut prices. U.S. beef exports may also benefit from a weaker greenback, but futures set back from early-morning highs. Wholesale prices proved generally weak yesterday. Ultimately, cattle traders had already built bullish expectations for into CME values, which may explain the early slippage. February cattle futures skidded 0.02 cents to 134.12 cents/pound in early Friday trading, while April futures dipped 0.10 to 134.87. Meanwhile, January feeder cattle futures climbed 0.22 cents to 166.82 cents/pound, and March advanced 0.12 to 167.32.
Cash strength likely boosted hogs. Direct market hog prices rose substantially Thursday, while pork values edged moderately higher. Those developments almost surely boosted CME futures overnight, although dollar weakness probably encouraged bulls as well. We probably shouldn't look for any big hog moves today, since the quarterly USDA Hogs & Pigs report is set for release at 2:00 PM CST today. February hog futures ran up 0.12 cents to 85.42 cents/pound around dawn Friday, but June sagged 0.17 to 99.92.
Cotton futures surged in apparent response to Chinese news. Given the strong American position in the cotton export market, it was terribly surprising to see the fiber market respond well to the overnight dollar drop. However, Chinese officials also announced that they are abandoning their long-standing cotton stockpiling program, which seemed to spark a breakout to the upside. Actually, the announcement might be viewed favorably by both bulls and bears, but bulls are seemingly winning this round. March cotton soared 1.34 cents to 84.23 cents/pound just after sunrise (EST) Friday, while July cotton jumped 0.84 cent to 83.46.

|As one might expect, Free to Choose will take some time and traffic to clean up perfectly...but it will. This is some of the hardest and best Central Coast sandstone I've climbed on. Until then, there is still lichen and a little loose rock.

|I've lead the first pitch of this twice now (2nd outing we just did the first pitch to get to the other climbs). It's gotten a little bit cleaner between times so it should just continue to improve and I think it will end up being a nice beginner lead climb.

|I climbed this route today for the n-th time. It is really cleaning up nicely. I must say though, the second pitch feels like it is getting harder. The moves through the fourth and fifth bolts felt like 5.9 to me.

|Yes, cleaning up nicely. Fun and balancey. I'd say 5.8+ because the holds are there, it's just a weight shift issue through that second pitch crux. (Are you sure you can't do this route with a 50m rope? Seems a lot shorter.)

|Jeff - you might be able to rap down P2 with a 50 meter rope - I have not tried, but there was quite a bit of rope left with a 60 meter. However, to rap down P1 a 60 meter rope will just barely get you down to terra firma.

Climbed this last weekend. Be mindful of rockfall as this route is still a bit loose. Lead both pitches and agree on a 5.9 rating for the second pitch.
Great rock that dried out from the recent rain quicker than the wall at Potrero.

|Climbed this on 4/14/2008, now that part of the second pitch has broken off clipping the 4th bolt is very barndoor'ish lack of a good left foot makes this clip very intense, blowing this clip would result in a pretty serous fall. add 1/2 a grade just for clipping this bolt. 9+

|I lead the first pitch and thought it was contrived. I didn't like being 50' off the ground on the right side, but 3' off the ground on the left side, but I was keeping an open mind. Then my nephew lead the 2nd pitch. 5.9 for sure. Was starting to like it but then ran into the last 30' of the route. The whole right side of the route is ready to fall off on the top part. It shuddered, shook, vibrated, made that hollow sound, and then the belay was set on top of a pile of loose blocks. I like adventure climbing, so I can accept it, but I'm hoping there are better routes at this crag.

|Climbed this route on sunday 8/16/09. Very fun climb. Must have seen some traffic as it has cleaned up very nicely, with little loose rock and lichen. The second pitch is great! More difficult (5.9?) than the first pitch. There is a scary big block on the right at the top of the second pitch. It is literally hanging off the face of the arete. Within the next few years, or maybe just one heavy rain season, it will surely topple down the mountain. I just don't want to be at the base when that 2-ton bomb comes crashing down.

|Can easily be climbed in a single, 140' pitch with no rope drag. The first 60' of climbing is no harder than about 5.0, but the last 80' is good. The bolting is excessive in my opinion.
By John Knight

Only climbed the first pitch since we were headed over to PIH. This was a nice introduction to Fortress Climbing. I thought P1 was more like 5.7 but it was my first climb at the Fortress so it's hard to tell. It is a bit weird climbing with an 8' drop on your left and a 40' drop off to your right.
The first pitch is clean and solid. Bolts were available whenever you needed them. It certainly has value as an approach pitch to PIH. Note - The traverse over to PIH is a bit exposed and loose but easy.

|I believe the reason for the close bolts is to protect the leader and follower as a swinging fall off the arete wouldn't be too fun. I liked all the bolts, but still don't like the rock. The crux is trusting your holds; I kept telling my belayer "watch out when/if I step on this hold".

|Nice intro climb into the fortress. Great site. Fun approach. My partner and I were stoked to learn about this area from Mountain Project a month ago. There's a bit of loose rock up at the top of the 2nd pitch so it may be nice for the belayer to wear a helmet. 2nd pitch is when things get a little more challenging. Once I got to the third bolt it was like sticking my head in a wind tunnel. Was tough to communicate with my belayer. Overall it appears to be a bit more cleaned up now. It was over 100 degrees so the wind felt pretty good but it did dry us out a bit.

I agree this is an excellent intro for The Fortress. The first pitch is 5.5-ish but was surprisingly fun and the rock is great. I don't agree that it is "contrived" since it is the logical route to access the next level and is not something most people would want to solo. The bolting seems fine considering this is an easy moderate with a potential for an ugly swing if you come off. Kinda want to take a broom up for the little traverse next time.
Pitch 2 has great exposure and fun climbing. I agree you need to be very wary of loose rock. Following, I cleaned a dinner-platter guillotine flake off that literally landed directly on the belay stance but that hazard is gone now. I also noticed some hollow stuff at the top, but it's easy to pick and choose solid holds if you keep a cool head. Extra bolts seem warranted on a climb like this which is still "evolving" (putting it in nice terms).
All in all still gets a good rating in my book in spite of it's flaws. A worthy adventure with a great summit.
Edit to add: We actually just rapped directly from the summit to the gully/base of PIH for our second climb. Some loose rock, bushes and dirt off that side, so use caution if there are people below.

|A fun route that can be done in one pitch with a 70m. Use some runners, specially the last 2 bolts of the first pitch before the dirt ledge. We rapped down to the base of PIH. Maybe 5.9?

Many museums and organisations have been celebrating the centenary of Captain Robert Falcon Scott's expedition to the South Pole. But have you ever wondered what kind of medicine Scott and his party brought with them to the ends of the earth? Here at the Science Museum we know because we have one Scott's original aluminium medicine chests. The chest, dated to 1910, was carried by Scott and his party when they set out for the pole in November 1911. This chest was originally kept at the Lower Glacier Depot on the way to the Pole, however it was picked up when Scott's second in command Lieutenant Edward Evans began his return journey to the Cape. It was only recovered in 1912 when a search party set out to find Scott and his comrades, whose bodies were discovered 11 miles out from the One Ton Depot.
This medicine chest can tell us about the kind of drugs indispensible to Scott and his comrades. Plastic bottles containing Paregoric Elixir (Camphorated Tincture of Opium) and Aromatic Powder tablets (chalk and opium) are to be found within this chest. Opium was a useful sedative and pain reliever. Additional phials of hypodermic tablets of cocaine and morphine would have been administered by injection in cases of extreme trauma.
The chest contains other hazardous chemicals such as strychnine, belladonna, arsenic, and mercury – medicines that would have been used as irritants to bring on a sweat; a common nineteenth century remedy for fever.

Although it is worth considering how modern medicines may have aided early explorers, we know that even the most efficacious of drugs could not have helped Scott or his team survive the Antarctic storms.

The mustard-colored sunlight at Oxbow Bend turned the ground sage purple and the Grand Teton Mountains into an instant screen saver.
That feeling — of indescribable beauty — where did I experience that before?
Then it hit me.
While hiking in my beloved San Gabriel Mountains.
Really, the two are not that much different.
Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming contains a mountain range with peaks of 13,770 feet for Grand Teton, 12,804 for Middle Teton and 12,514 for South Teton.
Here, Mt. Baldy soars 10,064 feet into the heavens, then Throop Peak goes 9,138 feet, while Mt. Burnham is at 8,997. Mt. Wilson, the place where the astronomers set up telescopes and discovered the universe was actually expanding, is just about 5,715 feet tall. Though more diminutive, it has certainly secured its place in the local geography and in world history.
As I walked an easy 3-mile hike around Jackson Lake and Coulter Bay in the magnificent national park, the interloping pine forest and intermittent ponds again made me think of some meaningful moments experienced in the San Gabriels.
There was the time my buddy and I reached the Vetter Mountain Lookout (elev. about 6,000 feet) and as we climbed the wooden steps, were interjected into a panoramic view of the rugged San Gabriels.
Just like I felt when I swiveled my head from side to side, eyes on the Tetons.
I recalled, in a flashback, seeing my first great blue heron sitting still as a statue on the banks of the San Gabriel River. The memory flooded my mind like an overflowing river when a hiker on the trail told us to not miss a place called Swan Lake, where the trumpeter swans croon. There, he said, he spotted what he called a GBH (a great blue heron for you non-birders).
The trumpeter swans, yes, the largest water fowl in the world, I added to my personal birding list. But the heron, the GBH, is home where my home is — both on the Rio Hondo and San Gabriel rivers — even at Peck Road Park, a place I like to keep talking about because it needs some TLC.
In fact, the tourists on the raft that floated down the Snake River, Teton range in bas relief silhouette, were oohing at the osprey as he got ready to dive into the river to claim a trout. Ospreys? I saw them on the San Gabriel River and again at the pond at Peck Park this spring.
So the comparisons continued to build in my mind, like sticks layered into a beaver's den.
You're not believing that the Grand Tetons and the San Gabriels are in the same category? What is this guy doing mentioning them in the same breath, you say? Oh, but they are. I am.
It's just that we don't appreciate our San Gabriels as much as the folks there do the Tetons.
We don't have tourists flying in from Seattle, Germany and Canada to see the ospreys of the San Gabriels. Not to mention the mountain yellow-legged frogs. But they are here. There just isn't a national park sign pointing the way.
Rock 'n' Roll ranger Curt stood on Oxbow Bend, talking about the origins of the Grand Teton National Park, playing cuts on his iPod from Bob Dylan, Canned Heat and the Beatles to illustrate his points.
The Grand Teton almost wasn't a national park and needed "Help!" (The Beatles) to make it so. Water interests, cattle farmers and agricultural folks from Idaho convinced Congress to draft a bill pulling the plug on the idea. But President Franklin Delano Roosevelt stuffed that bill in his back pocket. And the Grand Tetons became a national park ("Going Up The Country," Canned Heat).
That national park status — plus a lot fewer neighbors than the 16 million we've got — has kept the Grand Tetons grand.
The challenge with our San Gabriels is to keep them grand. Because they are just as magnificent. And more than worthy.

Patricia Wexler M.D. Dermatology MMPi Skin Regenerating Serum Reviews

Pure BlissI recieved a large sample of this at Bath & Body works and have been using it for about 4 months now. This serum is probably the best beauty serum that has ever touched my skin. I can visibly see small lines fading and it makes my skin glow like I just got a facial!! Love this stuff. Would give it a 10 . . but I feel it is a bit pricey. — 9 years, 2 months agoGlowGirl | 108 reviews

Very impressedI got a sample from Bath & Body Works. I hesitated using this because it seems to make the skin a bit more oily. But after trying it I love it. I don't have oily skin, so this keep my skin soft to the touch. I use it daily now, and need very little to apply it to the face and neck. I purchased more since the sample, I try to make it last as long as possible. It is very expensive. — 9 years, 9 months ago

amazingI have been using this product off and on over the last several years and it is by far my most favorite product for daytime.

I do not know if this is supposed to be a feature of the product but I have a very shiny face and it helps keep the shine down for the entire da...read morey no matter what product I have under it or over it. I also think over time whether you have it on or not it really helps to improve the texture of your skin. If you do some research on MMPi (which I have done for my training), it is an enzyme that helps prevent collagen breakdown. I initially tried it as part of a kit which includes the day and night creams and also the eye cream. It was an awesome deal and that, too, actually last quite a while. It is a bit pricey but Bath and Body Works carries it on their web site and it is often on sale or can be bought as some kind of online "deal". They used to carry her line in their stores but no more - that is a total bummer. It comes in a rather large container and a little bit goes quite a long way. It will easily last you many months. I think the normal price is in the $65 range. Well kids, I am off to Vegas for the annual American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine for the next 4 days so hopefully I will return with some groundbreaking new products and info on how we can help our skin and bodies be ever better. — 4 years, 9 months agoklfnwf | 53 reviews

"Fatally flawed."
That's the line from Ryan Braun's press conference in Phoenix on Friday that should outlast all the rest. Outlast even the terms he used to describe himself that always will be open to interpretation: "innocent," "vindicated" and "exonerated."
But what Braun said about Major League Baseball's protocols for its performance-enhancing drug prevention program … right on the money. They're flawed, and it isn't too strong to call it "fatally" so.
Fatal, as in, "This kills MLB's credibility on this."
As if that wasn't on life support already. No matter what anyone thinks about Braun's own credibility, after a reported flunked drug test and, now, its overturn by an arbitrator, his reputation still emerges cleaner than baseball's.
Baseball can stomp its feet, hold its breath and threaten to take everybody to court, and it still won't be able to justify a breach in the chain of custody in Braun's test so blatant and egregious. Braun could be as dirty as an East German swimmer, and it wouldn't have mattered once that now-infamous 44-hour window in October opened, and let in that flood of reasonable doubt.
Calling it a "loophole" lets baseball off easy. Trying to impeach the overnight delivery company it normally relied on—and no, it won't be named here, it got enough of a free commercial the past day or so—is garden-variety misdirection.
These are the rules baseball set up, the procedure it agreed to.
More important, it's the issue the powers that be, from the commissioner's office on down, made a priority, and have made a priority for all these years. Keep the game clean, give the players opportunities to get and stay clean, give them deterrents to turning un-clean.
Riding on the results is just a $6 billion industry, dependent on the public's belief that it isn't being hoodwinked.
Six billion dollars, and it all gets thrown into limbo because the overnight shipping joint closes at 6 p.m. on Fridays.
That puts Major League Baseball one tiny step above Netflix, only because it chose not to hang the whole thing on the U.S. Postal Service. And, no, I don't mind naming names with that bunch of DVD-delivering public-relations Einsteins.
Unfortunately, this Braun case will not cause the same kind of customer exodus from baseball that Netflix experienced last summer. As long as performance-enhancers have been on the scene, fans have been forgiving to a fault. Baseball banks on it.
It sure hasn't hurt Bud Selig's job security, for instance; his contract extension kicks in next season. Guess it weathered the Barry Bonds record chase/federal indictment fairly well.
All of which is yet another aspect of this situation that doesn't pass the smell test.
Here's another: everybody—that is, the MLB office and the players association—is either denying that he was the snitch who leaked the test result to the media in December, or trying to smoke the snitch out.
Confidentiality only happens to be at the very core of every collectively-bargained drug-testing program anywhere in corporate America. Now, it's been flagrantly violated in baseball at least twice—once in the batch of tests in which Alex Rodriguez, among others, was exposed as a user.
Taken within the context of this one case, the program is a disaster. No matter how many times baseball can claim its program has gotten it right over the years since it was implemented, it takes only one incident like this to buckle all of its integrity and wreck the trust the tested players—and, again, the paying customers—must have, without exception, in the system.
If you think that's trouble, though, put this into the context of baseball's entire history with performance-enhancers. How the powers that be did more than miss all the signs, and more than turn a blind eye to it all, how they even did more than enable it ... but how they all but facilitated it, and profited from it for years until the weight of public resistance and government intervention made them put the brakes on it.
Now, we have inexcusable, borderline-comical institutional sloppiness with a reportedly-positive test result from one of the sport's brightest young stars, keeping him from being suspended for the first 50 games of the regular season for his defending division-champion team.
Nah, no reason to be suspicious of any of that. Just an unlucky break in the chain of custody.
Or just a reason why, if baseball doesn't fix that flaw, it really will be fatal.

Producers invited to fourth annual event to learn tools on improving profits through technology, grain marketing strategies and plant health.
Landmark Services Cooperative will be hosting its fourth annual crop management field seminars on Sept. 11 in East Troy, Wis., and Sept. 12 in Stoughton, Wis. "At these crop management field seminars, growers will learn information to improve their cropping strategies and maximize their profits," says Kristi Lange, communications and events coordinator for Landmark Services Cooperative. "This year's theme is Feeding the plants that feed the world.' Industry experts will present information, research and hands-on demonstrations that will bring this theme to life."
This year's Landmark crop management field seminars will feature information on improving profits by combining technology with tradition, grain marketing and enhanced plant fertility. The presentations will help producers map out their harvest strategies and plan for the 2014 growing season.
The Sept. 11 seminar will be held at the East Troy Answer Plot (Hwy 120 and Kniep Road in East Troy, Wis.) and the Sept. 12 seminar will be held at the Stoughton Answer Plot (Hwy N and Koshkonong Road in Stoughton, Wis.) Both sessions will run from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
The 2013 keynote speaker will be Jody Lawrence, founder of Strategic Trading Advisors, a company he started in 2001 after working in the commodity and farm consulting business as both a broker and cash advisor since 1991. Today, Lawrence writes a daily grain marketing newsletter that is shared with more than 3,000 producers in 32 U.S. states.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to attend interactive, hands-on breakout sessions led by Landmark's Grain and Agronomy experts, including:
· Technology: Essential or Extra? Experts will discuss tools to reach 300 bushel harvests, improve profits and the importance of increased yields in feeding the world. Technology showcased will include: field scouting via a tablet-controlled drone and variable rating systems.
· Grain marketing: It's a jungle out there: Attendees can learn tips to decipher and understand grain marketing terminology, market trends and times to best market grain.
· Bumper crop: Starts with fertility and plant health: A successful harvest begins with plant health. Learn about the power of micronutrients and how to create a plan to incorporate them into the 2014 planting and growing season.
A pig roast lunch will be served to all attendees and the event is free. Seats are limited, so producers are encouraged to RSVP by Sept. 4 by calling (608) 819-3126, emailing firstname.lastname@example.com

Peralta proud of Dominican brethren
PORT CHARLOTTE -- Joel Peralta entered the clubhouse on Friday morning with a swelled chest, wearing a Dominican Republic cap.
The native of Bonao, Dominican Republic, had a bounce in his step from watching the Dominican Republic defeat the United States, 3-1, in their World Baseball Classic matchup Thursday night.
"Awesome," said Peralta, who watched the game with fellow Rays countrymen Juan Sandoval, Juan Oviedo, and Jose Molina (the Minor Leaguer pitcher, not the Rays catcher who's playing for Puerto Rico in the Classic). "Definitely wished I could have been there, wanted to be there from the start. This whole thing started and I was like, 'I wish I was there,' but I couldn't be there."
Peralta had originally been scheduled to pitch for the Dominican Republic in this year's Classic, but a stiff neck slowed him early in camp, which prompted him to withdraw from the team.
The Dominican Republic scored twice in the top of the ninth to take a 3-1 lead before Rays closer Fernando Rodney came in to pitch the bottom half of the inning for the Dominicans.
Peralta, who is good friends with Rodney, noted that he was a little nervous for his friend.
"I mean, I know he's got his stuff to do well, but I don't want him to be over-throwing," Peralta said. "He did a good job. He was definitely anxious to get into that game. I could see how happy he was after he got in."
Ben Zobrist pinch-hit for the United States in the ninth and had a good at-bat before Rodney finally struck his Rays teammate for the second out of the inning.
"I was kind of curious if that [matchup] was going to happen," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "I thought it was pretty interesting to watch both of them going at it like that."
Watching the confrontation put Maddon in an unusual situation.
"It was kind of weird, I can understand the Harbaughs," Maddon said referencing brothers John and Jim Harbaugh, who coached against each other in the Super Bowl. "Who do you root for? There is no rooting, you want them both to do well so you stay out of it and see what the heck happens."
Maddon giggled.
"Fernando's throwing the ball really well right now," he said. "That's kind of an uncomfortable moment for Zo."
After Rodney got the final out of the game, he fired one of his imaginary arrows into the air.
"I was so happy for him," Peralta said. "He actually sent me a picture after the game last night. It was a really good one. I'm happy for him."

Lot of discussion about Lance's upcoming contract this offseason. Personally I think his value will become clear in the postseason in terms of what he will likely get paid, ie how players perform in the playoffs often go along ways in determining payouts (reference Hibbert 2 seasons ago and Paul last season - both had huge postseason performances that increased their value).
Its been posted by some that we should pay Lance whatever it takes to keep him in a pacers uniform. I think that's out of the realm of possibility for a small market franchise but to even suggest Lance get paid more than DWEST to me is just nonsense imho.
I know we got several lance threads but simply interested in what many on here feel comfortable with seeing the Pacers pay to Lance this upcoming offseason.
Until I see Lance mature on several levels, esp in regards to him making smart passes as opposed to SC highlight passes I am not ready to see the Pacers commit 20% of their cap room to born ready. Albeit I hope he is back next season, I don't believe this Franchise can afford to invest a significant portion of cap space and still have a competitive roster, specifically as it pertains to the bench.

The 47th American Association of Bovine Practitioners (AABP) Annual Conference, Sept. 18-20 in Albuquerque, N.M., is taking continuing education to new heights with this year's program. Registration is now open.
The 2014 program theme, "Reconnect. Retool. Reclaim." is intended to encourage attendees to renew relationships with other like-minded cattle veterinarians (reconnect), expand their professional skillset (retool), and improve their business opportunities (reclaim), says AABP President-Elect and Program Chairman Dr. John Davidson.
"We have a top-notch program committee of dedicated private practitioners, clinicians, and industry leaders focused on delivering timely, relevant, and practical education that each attendee can take back to his or her practice and implement immediately," Davidson said.
Davidson says the session line-up represents the very best of current and practical topics tailored to each segment of this far-reaching profession, with areas focused on cow-calf, feedlot and dairy, delivered by knowledgeable professionals. Ten limited enrollment Clinical Forums will be hosted by experts in an informal environment to allow for one-on-one interaction for maximum benefit. The keynote address will be delivered by Dr. Lowell Catlett, an internationally recognized agricultural economist and futurist.
Students will play a large part in the conference with student sessions, the 5th annual Quiz Bowl, student case competition and scholarship awards. Large animal veterinary technicians also have dedicated sessions.
For those seeking a deeper level of education in specific topics, over 20 preconference sessions will be offered, Sept. 14-17.
"The preconference seminars this year offer a variety of practical information that veterinarians will be able to take home and implement immediately to help their clients and the cattle they care for each day," said AABP Vice President and Preconference Seminar Chairman Dr. Fred Gingrich.
Gingrich adds that the 2014 preconference seminars are a mix of old, new and reformulated seminars from past years. For example, the milking equipment seminar has been changed to a hands-on experience working with a portable teaching parlor so attendees will be able to practice in a simulated parlor experience. Several nutrition and management courses from ration balancing, transition cows, fresh pen management, milk fat depression, and improving health/productivity will give veterinarians the tools to offer more nutrition consultation in their practices.
Beef-oriented seminars will include basic and advanced nutrition, managing stocker calves, cow-calf record keeping and analysis, feedyard lameness, and performing breeding soundness exams. Practice owners and associates will find valuable information in the two-day veterinary business management seminar.
In addition to the CE, the AABP conference offers entertainment, awards for members, over 100 exhibitors in the trade show, honoring of the 2014 Cattle Production Veterinarian Hall of Fame inductees, the 7th annual Job Fair, the Amstutz Live and Silent auctions, and the second 5K Stampede Run along the Rio Grande Valley.
Pre-registration ends Aug. 19. Find out more about the 2014 AABP Annual Conference in Albuquerque, N.M., at www.AABP.org.

Boston Red Sox DH David Ortiz had been scheduled to take batting practice Monday, but ESPN.com reports that plan could be in jeopardy because of continued discomfort in his heels when he ran on a treadmill this morning.
Ortiz was shut down this last Sunday because of discomfort in both heels, though MRI exams revealed only inflammation. His 2012 season ended early because of an Achilles' tendon injury that he rehabbed during the offseason, causing the team to proceed slowly and carefully with him in camp.
It isn't clear when Ortiz will be cleared to run again, and it is becoming increasingly likely that he will begin the regular season on the disabled list.
Ortiz, limited to 90 games (only one after July 16) because of the injury, hit .318/.415/.611 with 23 homers and 60 RBIs in 2012. He signed a two-year, $26 million deal in November.

Reliving some of history's most unusual comebacks through the lens of win expectancy.
Had there been an unlikely comeback on yesterday's slate of games, it would have served as the subject of my lead-in. Since no teams were kind enough to supply one, let's forgo a lead-in and dive right into the wacky world of win expectancy. Baseball Prospectus houses win expectancy tables for all years over the Retrosheet Era (1954-2010), and The Hardball Times provides a Win Probability Inquirer that uses a theoretical model. I sifted through Retrosheet data to dig up some tidbits on historical win probability, focusing on some of history's most improbable comebacks.
There have been 4,000 instances since 1954 in which a team has trailed by four runs with nobody on and two outs in the top of the ninth inning. Not once has a team come back from that deficit. According to theoretical win expectancy, that should have happened several times by now. Another 5,000 attempts have been made down by 5 or 6 runs, but the away team still has yet to come through. On a more exciting note, let's look at some long-shot teams that did rise to the occasion.
March 31, 2011 9:00 am
The season has hardly had a chance to kick off, but it's still fun to look back at the best stretch drive comebacks in AL West history.
Have you ever had a particular song lyric or verse stick in your head for not merely days or weeks, but years? I have. Most of us have. Maybe all of us have? Regardless, it has been at least five or six years since I first heard the hip-hop masterpiece that is Mos Def & Talib Kweli are Black Star, but there's a part on the track "RE:Definition" that has been rattling around within the confines of my consciousness since the very first listen: "We Die Hard like the battery done in the back of me by the mad MC who thinks imitation's the highest form of flattery/Actually, don't be mad at me …" Imitation's the highest form of flattery. I didn't know where it came from (turns out it was a bastardization of the more famous quote from 19th century author C.C. Colton), but I liked it, and figured the day would eventually arrive when I could constructively apply it.
Fast forward to this past Monday, when the intrepid Geoff Young opened his fascinating NL West history thusly: "As Yogi Berra might say, we'll have all year to discuss the season." And as hyped as I may be for the impending season, Geoff's right. Not long thereafter, I stumbled upon this not-so-prescient scan of the June 1, 2005 Houston Chronicle sports section, and my creative direction was sealed. There is little more emotionally stirring in the sports world than the comeback against tremendous odds, and little that I can believe to be more appropriate for this emotionally stirring week than a look back at the greatest in-season comeback by each AL West ballclub en route to a division title since the Great Realignment of 1994 (with a little help from CoolStandings.com's historical playoff odds snapshots):

Does history offer any reason to believe that Bartolo Colon is the solution to the Yankees' dire fifth-starter straits?
The Yankees' signing of Bartolo Colon to a minor-league deal in late January was greeted by a chorus of jeers that didn't begin to subside until his successful first outing of the exhibition season. It wasn't that Colon didn't have a Yankee-caliber pedigree: the Dominican's resume includes two All-Star appearances and three top-ten showings in the Cy Young voting, including a 2005 first-place finish fueled by an AL-leading 21 wins (though that year's award probably should have gone to Johan Santana, who had earned the honors for the first time in 2004 and would return to the winner's circle in 2006). However, while Colon is hardly the first hurler with a history of acehood to be lured to the Bronx, his more recent track record pales in comparison to those of the team's previous high-profile pitching imports.
By the time Colon was fitted for a supersized set of pinstripes, he'd left his greatest on-field achievements far behind. Since his Cy Young victory, the right-hander has gone 14-21 with a 5.18 ERA in 48 appearances, and his conditioning—the hurler is listed at 5'11", 265, which might undersell where he'd actually tip the scales—makes him an easy target for the tabloids. Even more damning, Colon sat out the entirety of the 2010 season following a string of injury-plagued campaigns, and he'll turn 38 in May. Considering the question marks associated with the portly pitcher, one can't blame New York Magazine for crowing, "With Mark Prior and Bartolo Colon on board, Brian Cashman has finally filled out his rotation, provided he can get his hands on that time machine."

With both League Championship Series at 3-1, what are the chances, and how often has it happened?
With both the Dodgers and Red Sox facing 3-1 deficits in their respective League Championship Series, the inevitable question being asked by advertisers and network executives desperate for a marquee World Series matchup-not to mention any fan who's decided they'd like to hear Tim McCarver, Joe Buck, and a chorus of moralizing pundits tell us even more about the Manny Ramirez saga-is, "Can they come back?" The answer is, probably not, as just 11 teams have come from down 3-1 to win a seven-game post-season series. Still, the legendary comebacks and heartbreaking collapses in those 11 series have stocked baseball lore with a memorable cast of heroes and villains, including Mickey Lolich, Willie Stargell, Don Denkinger, Donnie Moore, Steve Bartman, and Dave Roberts.

A RECORD 4.7billion football fans around the world will potentially watch the Clarets make their long-awaited return to the Premier League tonight.
The pitches from Turf Moor will be beamed into 643 million homes across 212 territories by 80 different broadcasters.
The eyes of the world will truly be on Turf Moor as they take on former champions Chelsea.
Thanks to television, Clarets fans living as far away as Australia, Alaska, Africa and even near the Amazon will be able to see their favourite team play top-flight football for the first time since being relegated in 2010.
Sky Sports will broadcast the home game live from the ground on Harry Potts Way.
In preparation of the world's media descending on the ground, an extra 50 press seats making a total of a 130 have been installed so Burnley can be shown off to it's full potential.
Viewing figures are expected to smash the biggest total ever recorded for a Clarets match.
That was in 2009 when Burnley beat Manchester United 1-0 at home.
Football Magazine FourFourTwo placed the match at 98 in the highest viewed match in the history of the Premier League.
In total, the League clocked up 185,000 hours of TV coverage in 2010/11, an increase of 65 per cent on the previous campaign.
Steve Rumbelow, chief executive of Burnley Council, said that success on the pitch would translate to success for the town.
He said: "If Burnley are able to stay up and establish themselves as Premier League regulars then it will only be a good thing for the town.
"We now have a Premier League football club for a premier town.
"The viewing figures for Sky Sports must be up from what they were four years ago so it would be fair to say that more people than ever before will see a Burnley Football Club match today.
"That's great for the club and the town as it helps to put Burnley on the footballing map.
"We are already on the map as a destination but this exposure will only increase our profile.
"We have been working very hard to make Burnley even more prosperous and this will help towards that."
With viewing figures expected to soar Turf Moor has undergone a major facelift.
In total 150 projects of varying sizes were undertaken including the demolition and relocation of the player's tunnel, which was moved to the corner of the David Fishwick and James Hargreaves stands, new seating and changing room improvements.
The players are set to be greeted with a warn reception despite the chilly 12c temperature expected during the match.

Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber proclaimed the month of March as Fuel Up to Play 60 Month. Fuel Up to Play 60 is helping develop healthy students in nearly 600 Oregon schools across the state by encouraging students to enjoy nutrient-rich foods and to be active for 60 minutes a day.
Fuel Up to Play 60 is a joint effort from the National Dairy Council, the National Football League and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The program is managed locally by the Oregon Dairy Council.
"School wellness programs like Fuel Up to Play 60 make it possible for schools to receive funding and support that increase student access to nutritious foods and fitness programs," said Kirstin Jorgenson, Principal of Robert Frost Elementary in Silverton, Oregon. "Kids who are well-fed and fit are better able to reach their full potential in the classroom."
The recently issued report, The Wellness Impact: Enhancing Academic Success Through Healthy School Environments, shows that kids who have quality nutrition and exercise perform better at school. That's great validation for Fuel Up to Play 60, which has provided more than $80,000 over three years to Oregon schools for developing in-school initiatives ranging from breakfast programs to walking clubs.
In Molalla, Oregon a $3,000 Fuel Up to Play 60 grant is blazing a trail for healthier students. The elementary school is building a walking/jogging trail and making smoothies every month.
The students at Robert Frost Elementary in Silverton are highlighting a different food color each month and walking and running a marathon one mile at a time. The school has collectively covered more than 3,000 miles.
McKay Elementary in Beaverton, Oregon used grant funds to brighten the cafeteria with an "eat the rainbow" mural and rainy day recess equipment.
"In the last three years, the Fuel Up to Play 60 program has gained momentum and now reaches over 254,000 Oregon students," said Fuel Up to Play 60 Field Coordinator, Cara Seger. "We are seeing grant funded projects that improve school wellness environments now and for years to come."
Schools are the focus of health and wellness programs for students, but it takes the whole community to champion change. To get involved or sign-up a local school visit http://www.oregondairycouncil.org/FUTP60/.

This study published in a highly respected medical journal highlights a major obstacle to bringing patients new treatments – not enough patients participating in clinical trials to provide the U.S. Food and Drug Administration with the data they require to approve new drugs. In a presentation at a recent Lupus Research Institute patient research conference, Dr. Richard Furie, Chief, Division of Rheumatology at North Shore LIK Health System, noted that there are not enough lupus patients for the number of trials needed to test all the potential new treatments. "Just for studies underway in New York alone, we need 10,000 patients." And he noted that less than 5 percent of lupus patients currently participate. As Dr. Furie points out in his talk, there are many types of trials that patients as well as their family can be part of that can help advance lupus research. Learn more at LupusTrials.org.
