How Could Center Position Be Addressed?
Monday, June 12, 2006
Q. Like Jermaine O'Neal has expressed, I think the team needs another person who can get the job done in the middle. If Larry Bird addresses this problem, do you think he will try to acquire a big man through a trade, try to draft one, or develop one of our current players : David Harrison, Jeff Foster and/or Scot Pollard? (From Kyle in Holly Springs, N.C.)
A. After an all-too-brief respite and thank you for your patience while I was on vacation it's time to get back to work. So let's dive right into the mailbag by getting into something of a debate with our very own franchise player. O'Neal's assertion that the team's biggest need is at center is paradoxical, because he is the best candidate on the roster to fill that position. For all intents and purposes, he already is the center, offensively, because he's the primary post threat and the first option in the offense. Defensively, in order to alleviate physical wear and tear, others have guarded the opposing center, allowing O'Neal to move to power forward.
Foster, Harrison and Pollard have provided a strong variety of matchup options to ease the defensive load on O'Neal. Foster can deal with the more athletic big men; Pollard is ideally suited to the less mobile behemoth-types; while Harrison has the potential to be a game-changer because of his size, offensive skill and shot-blocking. If you could somehow combine all three into one player, you'd probably have what O'Neal wants in fact, you'd probably have what every team (except, possibly, Miami) in the NBA wants.
Very few NBA teams have true centers anymore. It has become increasingly common for teams to go to a two-post system, where one player is the focal point, offensively, and the other plays a complementary role, either by assuming the larger defensive responsibility or providing the needed floor spacing. It was good enough for San Antonio to win a couple of championships. It worked for Detroit, with Rasheed Wallace (offense) and Ben Wallace (defense) fitting together very well, albeit unconventionally.
That said, Pollard is a free agent, Foster is coming off two years of injury problems and Harrison has been slow to develop, so there should be some level of uncertainty about that particular slot on the depth chart. The draft offers the easiest way to acquire another big body, but also the most uncertainty. As for free agents, Ben Wallace will be out of the Pacers' price range, leaving a second tier consisting of guys like Nazr Mohammed, Joel Przybilla and Michael Olowokandi. Denver's Nene, though a restricted free agent, would be a gamble, albeit at a reduced price because of his knee. That leaves trades and, when it comes to centers, it's always a seller's market in the NBA because demand far outstrips supply.
All of which is another way of saying this: quality centers are the hardest commodity to acquire. Even if Pollard leaves, the Pacers still will have a deeper crop than most. While I'm sure there will be an interest and effort in replacing Pollard, should he leave, that doesn't mean this is the position of highest priority this summer.

|Vaginal Odor
|Device: WaterWorks Douching Device
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Single (Investigator)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|"A Comparison Study of the WaterWorks® Douching Device vs. Commercial OTC Douching Device for the Reduction or Abatement of Perceived Vaginal Odor With or Without Complaints of Discharge in Women With no Infectious Causes of Vaginitis"
- The primary endpoint of the study is the reduction or abatement of the
- subject's perceived vaginal odor as determined at Visit 3.
- This improvement will be measured using a visual analog scale that
- asks subjects to rate their perception of vaginal odor on a scale that
- is anchored at two extremes, "no odor", and, "strong offensive odor".
- Effects on the vaginal Eco-System will be assessed using the
- Lactobacilli score and the Nugent score. The safety profile of the douching
- device (Water Works® versus control) will be assessed through the collection
- of any reported adverse events. Any adverse event, will be reported in terms
- of severity, relationship to treatment, duration, and resolution.

|Study Start Date:
|August 2006
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|September 2007
Vaginal symptoms, including abnormal odor with or without complaints of discharge, are relatively common complaints. It is generally assumed that most women with these complaints have a vaginal infection, bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis, or vulvovaginal candidiasis. However, investigators suggest that there is a large population of women who complain of odor with or without complaints of discharge, and in whom no clear cause can be found. For these women, there are currently no treatment options.
Anecdotal evidence suggests that stainless steel used with just water has an effect in reducing odors and is so used to reduce odors on hands by chefs. The Water Works® Douching Device is a light-weight (1oz) stainless steel douching device that was developed to aid in the treatment of vaginal odor. Additional anecdotal evidence suggests that douching with the Water Works® Douching Device had little or no affect on the vaginal Eco-System (e.g. good bacteria, Lactobacilli).
This study (ARG105B) will compare the Water Works® Douching Device to a commercially available over the counter douching device for the ability to reduce or eliminate abnormal odor (with or without complaints of discharge) in women with this subjective complaint, but no objective findings of a vaginal infection. The study will also compare the Water Works® Douching Device to the commercial device with respect to the adverse effect of the vaginal Eco-System.

Bowling BuddiesLogic Grid puzzles come with a handy interactive grid that will help you solve the puzzle based on the given clues.
Five guys meet at college, and become the best of buddies when they discover that they have a common interest in ten-pin bowling. Not only are they avid bowlers, but they also have an eccentric taste in the pattern on their bowling ball.
They each play for a different team during the week, but get together on Saturday nights to find out which of them is the best.
From the following clues, can you find out each of their names, the local team they play for, the pattern on their bowling ball, and how many points each scored in the first game.
Strike - all ten pins are knocked down on the first ball.
Spare - all ten pins are knocked down using two balls.
You do not need to keep track of the scoring - all the final scores can be deduced from the clues. When 'score' is mentioned in the clues, it means the final score, not the score at that point in the game.
1st Frame: The five buddies bowled in turn, in the following order: Fred; the bowler with the tiger print ball; the bowler who scored 227; Johnson; and the bowler who plays for the Golden Gates. Only the second bowler, Dawson, did not get a strike with his first delivery, although he did get a spare.
2nd Frame: The players with the top three scores, Eddie, the Snake Eyes' bowler and the Picket Fences' bowler, all managed strikes this frame, while Johnson and the Dead Woods' bowler both got spares.
3rd Frame: The Dead Woods' bowler had a terrible bowl, only knocking down three pins, but still managed to crack a joke with Dawson as Dave was hitting his turkey (third strike in a row).
4th Frame: Flagg, the Flying Elbows' bowler and the bowler with the flame pattern ball all hit strikes. The Picket Fences' bowler and Fred both got a spare.
5th Frame: Steve, the Snake Eyes' bowler, the owner of the globe ball, and the Golden Gates' bowler all had strikes. Garrett managed a spare.
6th Frame: This was nearly a disaster for the bowler with the leopard ball which just clipped the 7 pin on its way into the gutter. Luckily, he made the spare, which meant he scored more than the bowler with 192.
7th Frame: The bowler with the cow print ball was the only one to get a strike this round. Steve, the Flying Elbows' bowler, the bowler with 214, and Hobson did not even get a spare.
8th Frame: Dave only managed a spare this frame, while Carl, who bowled just after him, got a strike. Neither of them ended up with 205 points.
9th Frame: The bowler with an intricate map of the world on his ball scored a strike this frame, as did Steve. Flagg got a spare.
10th Frame: The losers congratulated the 'Flame' thrower on a game well played, and Garrett went to the bar to get in the drinks as he had the lowest score with 186.
HintIf you get to the end, and can't differentiate between Carl and Dave, check clues 1 and 8.
AnswerCarl Johnson - Flying Elbows - Globe - 192
Dave Hobson - Snake Eyes - Flame - 227
Eddie Flagg - Golden Gates - Leopard - 214
Fred Garrett - Dead Woods - Cow - 186
Steve Dawson - Picket Fences - Tiger - 205
Logical solution:
C = The above clue number
F = Fact deduced
S = A solution
F1 Dawson has the tiger ball (C1).
F2 Garrett does not have the tiger (F1), globe (C5), leopard (C6/C10) or flame (C10), so must have the cow ball.
F3 Garrett does not play for SE (C2), PF (C2), GG (C5) or FE (C7/F2) so must play for Dead Woods.
F4 Flagg does not have the tiger (F1), cow (F2), flame (C4) or globe (C9) so must be the leopard ball.
F5 Johnson did not score 205, 214, 227 (C2) or 186 (C10) so 192.
F6 Johnson did not play for DW (F3), GG (C1), SE (C2), PF (C2) so Flying Elbows.
F7 Johnson does not have the tiger (F1), cow (F2), leopard (F4), flame (F5/C10) so globe ball.
F8 Hobson has the flame ball (F1, F2, F4, F7).
F9 Steve is not Garrett (C5), Hobson (C7), Flagg (C9), Johnson (C7/F6) so is Dawson.
F10 Steve does not play for SE (C5), GG (C5), FE (C7) or DW (C3/F9) so Picket Fences.
F11 Steve did not score 227 (C1/F9/F1), 186 or 192 (C2/F10) or 214 (C7) so 205.
S1 Steve - Dawson (F9) - Picket Fences (F10) - Tiger (F1) - 205 (F11).
F12 Flagg did not score 205 (S1), 186 (C10), 192 (F5) or 227 (C10/F4) so 214.
F13 Fred did not score 205 (S1), 227 (C1), 214 (C4/F12) or 192 (C1/F5) so 186.
S2 Fred - Garrett (C10/F13) - Dead Woods (F3) - Cow (F2) - 186 (F13).
F14 Hobson scored 227 (S1, S2, F5, F12).
F15 Hobson does not play for PF (S1), DW (S2), FE (F6) or GG (C1/F14) so Snake Eyes.
F16 Flagg plays for Golden Gates (S1, S2, F6, F15).
F17 Eddie does not play for PF (S1), DW (S2), SE (F15) or FE(C2/F6) so Golden Gates.
S3 Eddie - Flagg (F17/F16) - Golden Gates (F17) - Leopard (F4) - 214 (F12).
F18 Either Carl or Dave is Johnson, and the other scored 227 (C1).
F19 Carl bowled after Dave (C8) so Dave scored 227 and Carl is Johnson (C1).
S4 Carl - Johnson (F19) - Flying Elbows (F6) - Globe (F7) - 192 (F5).
S5 Dave - Hobson (F19) - Snake Eyes (F15) - Flame (F8) - 227 (F14).

Storm Safe Area Recommendations
Emergency Communications System (IRIS)
Maryville College is equipped with an emergency communications system that emails, texts, and calls students, faculty and staff in case of a campus emergency. In order for the system to remain up to date and accurate, report all changes to your personal contact information at the Security Office, Bartlett 116 or the Student Development Office, Bartlett 327.
Campus Security
Security is everyone's responsibility. It is essential that questionable incidents, unlocked doors or windows, suspicious activity, or emergencies be reported on campus. Such reports should be made by dialing 865.981.8112 and not the local police. This line is monitored by Campus Security 24-hours a day. Local law enforcement authorities monitor all campus security radio transmissions and are available to assist on the campus at the request of security personnel. In order to assist in maintaining an orderly and safe campus environment, students must observe the following security measures:
- Do not enter locked rooms or buildings.
- Comply with all reasonable and lawful requests or directions of members of the faculty, administrative staff, residence hall staff, and other College employees fulfilling their duties.
- Do not provide false information to faculty, administrative staff, residence hall staff, and other College employees fulfilling their duties.
- Carry College ID at all times and show College ID cards when requested to do so by an official of the College or a member of the residence hall staff. In cases of disruptive behavior on campus, and when the security of members of the campus community and/or College property is threatened, Security officers will be called and they are authorized to immediately remove from campus those persons involved in such activity. Individuals removed from campus will be officially informed of the reason for such action and may be banned from campus.
- Do not prop open residence hall doors.
Staff Member on Duty (SMOD)
In order to assist campus security in providing coverage for students, the Residence Life staff monitors an emergency line 24-hours a day, 7-days per week. If an emergency arises, dial 865. 981.8112 or 865.981.8002 and a staff member will assist you.
Fire Safety Regulations
Fire safety regulations are for the safety and welfare of the College community. Misuse or abuse of fire extinguishers, fire hoses, fire doors, fire alarms, or other emergency equipment or the sounding of a false alarm is prohibited and considered a major violation of College policy, local fire codes, and statutory law. An incident report will be filed with Security for any of these violations.
Disregard of the following regulations will be sufficient grounds for severe disciplinary action.
- A student shall not disregard a fire alarm or refuse to evacuate a building during a drill or an actual fire.
- Tampering with fire equipment on campus constitutes a serious threat to the safety and welfare of the community. Any person(s) responsible for tampering with fire equipment, exit signs, smoke detectors or fire alarms will be subject to fines, dismissal and/or prosecution under all municipal and state laws. The minimum penalty for violations of campus safety will be a $1000 fine. When violators cannot be identified, the residents will share equally in the damage assessment for the public areas in their residence hall.
- Passageways and fire exits must remain clear at all times.
- Fire regulations also require that fire doors remain closed at all times.
- Candles cannot be burned in the residence halls. Candles with wicks that have never been burned are allowed. Incense is not allowed in the halls.
- Any prank involving flame or fire in a College building is prohibited. Students violating this regulation will be subject to suspension or dismissal.
- Setting off smoke bombs, which result in the activation of a building's fire or smoke alarm, will result in a minimum fine of $1,000 and disciplinary action.
- Fireworks, flammable liquids, dangerous chemicals, or other explosives are expressly prohibited on campus other than in supervised classroom activities.
- Outdoor fires are not permitted on campus property, including campus woods and fields, without the written permission of the Director of Security.
- Using fire escapes in non-emergency situations is prohibited.
- The use of extension cords is prohibited. Instead, surge protectors with an on/off switch and a maximum of 15 amps may be used.
- The use of halogen light bulbs is prohibited.
- The covering of light fixtures or electrical outlets with any flammable material is prohibited.
- Smoking in all buildings is prohibited.
Security & Personal Property
Maryville College assumes no responsibility for students' personal property. All students are urged to carry insurance on their personal property either through their parent's homeowner or tenant policies or through policies of their own. If students are not presently covered by such a policy, coverage can be arranged through a request to an insurance agent. Below are some available resources.
Each student should maintain a personal inventory of items (TVs, DVD players, etc) including serial numbers. This is helpful in recovering lost or stolen items. On campus vehicles and residence hall room doors should be locked whenever the student is not present. In the event of theft, notify Campus Security at 865.981.8112.
Missing Persons
Missing persons (students) should be immediately reported to the Vice President of Student Development/Dean of Students at (865) 981-8111. Following confirmation that a student has been missing for more than 24 hours, the Vice President for Student Development/Dean of Students will contact authorities and others as deemed appropriate. Reports of a missing person will immediately be referred to Maryville College Campus Safety and Security and/or the Maryville Police Department. All residential students are given the option to provide a contact person in the event that he/she goes missing. This contact information will be registered confidentially. The provided contact person will be notified if the student has been missing 24 hours. Regardless if the student provides a contact person, the institution will notify local law enforcement that a student is missing. In addition, the College will notify the parents of any missing student under the age of18 once the College has determined that the student has been missing for 24 hours.
Annual Safety and Fire Report
The traffic and parking regulations of Maryville College are designed to provide a safe flow of traffic and to make the best use of parking facilities. To accomplish these goals, it is necessary for the entire College community to become familiar with the regulations and abide by them.
The Maryville College campus is located on 263 acres of land, much of which is wooded. The College community and the surrounding community use the College Woods for quiet walks, bicycling, picnics, and cross-country running trails. Motor vehicles are not permitted in the College Woods off of paved roads. Students found to be in violation of this policy will be subject to disciplinary action.
The following Traffic and Parking Regulations are posted on the College's website and are also available in the Campus Security Office.
Vehicle Registration
- All faculty, staff, and students (full- or part-time), who operate a vehicle on College property, regularly or occasionally, are required to obtain a parking decal. Vehicles may be registered online during the summer, during class registration, at the Security Office, Bartlett Hall 116, and at the Student Development Office, Bartlett Hall 327, between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday.
- The registration of all vehicles parked on campus is required, but registration is no guarantee of a parking space near the place where one works, resides, or attends classes. The responsibility of finding a legal parking space rests with the vehicle operator and lack of a parking space is not a valid excuse for violation of any parking regulations.
- Students must obtain a parking decal for each academic year or portion thereof.
- Parking decals for faculty and staff may be obtained at the time of employment or any time during the academic year.
- A parking decal must be displayed on the vehicle no later than the first day of classes of the new semester.
- The parking decal must be completely attached and displayed on the outside of the rear window in the lower left hand corner (driver's side) of the registered vehicle. The parking decal must be permanently affixed to the outside of the vehicle and not taped to the inside of the window. The parking decal must be able to be read from the rear of the vehicle.
- Vehicles owned or driven by students may not be registered in the name of a faculty or staff member.
- Should a parking decal become mutilated or obliterated in any way, a new decal must be obtained at the Security Office in Bartlett Hall 116. When the remnants of the old decal are presented, a replacement decal will be issued free of cost.
- The parking decal holder is held responsible for all citations issued against the vehicle. Citations will not be excused on the plea that another person was driving the vehicle.
- The College assumes no financial responsibility for theft or damage to motor vehicles or their contents when the vehicle is parked or operated on campus or elsewhere.
- A change of license plates must be reported to Security within 48 hours of such change.
- If a student gets a new vehicle, he/she must bring the old parking decal and register the new vehicle with the Director of Security within 48 hours. There is no charge for the new decal.

- The College Security Department has the responsibility and the legal authority for the enforcement of the Traffic and Parking Regulations.
- The use, possession, and parking of an automobile while a student, employee, or visitor of Maryville College is considered a privilege. The abuse of that privilege will result in the denial of automobile use on Maryville College property.
- The College considers the use of a vehicle on campus a convenience and is not obligated to furnish unlimited parking space to accommodate all vehicles. The College will, however, attempt to provide a reasonable number of parking spaces in keeping with available resources. The purchase/possession of a parking permit in no way guarantees an individual a parking space on campus.
- Every person operating a motor vehicle on College property is held responsible for obeying all College traffic and parking regulations as well as all city and state parking and traffic regulations.
- The term "College property" is interpreted to include all properties under the control and jurisdiction of the Board of Directors of Maryville College.

- Vehicles parked on campus, which are considered to be abandoned, will be towed.
- The responsibility for obtaining knowledge of all laws and regulations in force rests with the motor vehicle operator.

Soccer has become a device for identifying the inherit problems of our society, such as racism, nationalism and poverty. For this project this semester, I would like to identify these issues and design a stadium that could address the issues of accessibility, circulation and programatic intent.
The slides below are from the first pin up we had for this class. The classes postulates that we have done as much as we can with parametric modeling and have arrived in a post parametric world. How can we use parametric design to further the advance field of architecture. David Benjamin believes that the next step is the optimization of these designs. We can use a parametric modeler to create our geometry, then process them in a software that runs genetic algorithms [modeFrontier] and analyze their performance thru solvers [Robot Millennium//strucutral analysis], [Cosmos Flow, Computational Fluid Dynamics], or physical testing through digital fabrication techniques. These slides represent the struggle to understand the software, as well as preliminary techniques in trying to represent the simulated data to individuals that are not entrenched in the design processes. Hopefully, graphic representation and deft of software will greatly improve as the semester progresses.
Check out the GSAPP PROOF website to see all the projects and images at better resolution.

Hoying selected to Triple-A All-Star Game
BALTIMORE -- Round Rock Express outfielder Jared Hoying, who might lead all of baseball in at-bats for Spring Training intrasquad scrimmages, early live batting practice and B games, has been selected to play in the Triple-A All-Star game.
The game will be held on July 16 in Durham, N.C. Hoying is coming off an excellent month of June, hitting .347 with six home runs and 21 RBIs in 26 games. For the season, Hoying is hitting .260 with 47 runs scored, 17 doubles, 15 home runs, 48 RBIs and a .505 slugging percentage in 78 games. His outstanding June helped Round Rock to a 17-9 record in for the month, the best in the Pacific Coast League.
"Jared has really taken a step offensively this season," Rangers farm director Mike Daly said. "Jared has spent countless hours working on his swing with Round Rock hitting coach Justin Mashore and it's exciting to see Justin get rewarded for his efforts."
Hoying was a 10th-round pick by the Rangers out of the University of Toledo in the 2010 First-Year Player draft. He is also reportedly the best fisherman in the organization.
"He is a great teammate," catcher Chris Gimenez said. "He works his tail off, he is fun to be around and will do anything for you. For a small, scrawny guy, he can really mash the ball to all fields."

The Fast clamp for your cymbal.
The Tama MCA53 is a great piece of hardware to add cymbals and accessories to your drum kit without adding another cymbal stand. It works perfectly for stands with pipe diameters of 19.1mm to 28.6mm.
FastClamp Easy Set Up System
Do you ever feel like you need three hands to attach a drum clamp? Are floor searches for dropped and scattered parts a source of constant frustration? That's why Tama came up with FastClamp. It really is as easy as 1-2-3: 1, Open the FastClamp just like a clothespin; 2, Close the FastClamp on the stand just like a clothespin; 3, Now the FastClamp holds the clamp in place so you can tighten the T-bolt.
Quick-Set Tilter
The toothless "Quick-Set" tilter securely holds position with the friction of six metal disc plates instead of traditional gears so you can adjust it to any angle you desire. This mechanism also has a more durable structure than the conventional gear tilter.

Nice hardware. I can get a cymbal ~16 maybe 17" away from the main cymbal stand. The clamp is secure and tightens up quickly. Should last a long time. Heavy duty and well made. Replaces my Gibraltar mini cymbal stacker.

Comments about Tama Cymbal Attachment:
Good add-on attachment - especially if you are particular like I am and want to keep your kit consistent with other TAMA hardware. Using this for a splash cymbal - attaches to the tom hardware on the bass drum. Works great however the rod that the cymbal sets on could be longer - especially if you use larger toms.

Comments about Tama Cymbal Attachment:
I've had this product for a few years and, for the most part, it has served me well. Recently I've noticed that the crash cymbal stand I have this clamped to (a TAMA stand) has indentations on it where the clamp squeezed the metal tube of the stand. Obviously people want the stand to stay put, but maybe Tama could update this product with rubber where it touches the cymbal stand so It doesn't damage your cymbal stands. It's not major damage but there is now some resistance when I try to adjust my stand where the tube was squeezed, to go into the hole/bigger encasing tube. I don't know if this is a common problem among cymbal stand extension/attachment clamps or if this can be avoided with different products or improving the design. Maybe I tightened it too tight or my stand isn't heavy duty enough, but it damaged my stand; and that's not cool.
Comments about Tama Cymbal Attachment:
I purchased this based on the fact that it had a "toothless" cymbal tilter; something Gibraltar did not offer and something that DW offered but at a much higher price. I was very disappointed when I received basically the same thing as the Gibraltar Cymbal Grabber Arm but with a shorter boom. It's not toothless, but then again, it doesn't claim to be.

What You Need to Know
Raking in the Gold
The Monday Takeaway
Capuano—who strained his calf in his first start of the season back on April 17 and was making his first appearance since coming off of the disabled list—had a chance last night to impress manager Don Mattingly and begin building a case for a long-term spot in what eventually will once again be a crowded Dodgers rotation. Unfortunately, his nemesis, lefty-masher Paul Goldschmidt, was in the number-three hole of the opposing lineup.
Goldschmidt entered Monday's game 9-for-12 against Capuano with three doubles and two home runs, a string of success rivaled only by his 9-for-17 line versus Giants righty Tim Lincecum, whom he has taken deep five times. The 34-year-old southpaw had tried every which way to retire the 25-year-old first baseman, varying his first pitches and sequences, working in and away, up and down, and failed virtually every time. Goldschmidt fanned twice in his first four meetings with Capuano, but in nine plate appearances since then, he had been retired only once.
Then, Monday came—and, well, you can make that 12, raise Goldschmidt's overall line to 12-for-15, and add another round-tripper to his collection of six extra-base hits off of Capuano. Cody Ross followed that two-run shot with a blast of his own, chasing Capuano from the game with six runs (five earned) across and only 12 outs recorded. Goldschmidt's other hits, a two-out single in the first and a leadoff single in the third, proved harmless. But that was little consolation to Capuano, who, in the eyes of visiting manager Kirk Gibson, was at a loss even before Goldschmidt thumped a dead-center fastball 415 feet—the textbook definition of "ownage is ownage."
As Capuano's frustration grew on the mound, his teammates' struggles continued at the plate, where the Dodgers went 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position, bringing their team average in those situations down to .216, the second-worst clip in the National League. Carl Crawford smacked his club-best fifth home run in the game, but while the left fielder's pop has been a pleasant surprise, the outage that has swept across the rest of the roster, on which the next-highest total is three (Adrian Gonzalez, Andre Ethier), has been a recipe for disaster when combined with the RISP woes. Hanley Ramirez's short-lived return to health, which ended with a strained hamstring over the weekend, was merely a tease, and the question mark at shortstop, now in the hands of Dee Gordon, looms as large as ever.
The 9-2 defeat was Los Angeles' fifth in a row, and it dropped Mattingly's squad into the division cellar for the first time since August 21, 2011. The Dodgers, who withstood a six-game skid in the middle of April, are no longer the National League West favorites, and their odds of reaching the postseason, down by some 20 percent over the past week, are no longer above even.
The good news is that, with the Dodgers' on-base percentage (.334) still firmly in the top third of the league, the runs will come once their RISP performance evens out. Moreover, reinforcements, from Zack Greinke to Ramirez, are on the mend. The bad news is that, with the Nationals and Cardinals visiting later this month and a trip to Turner Field booked for next weekend, plenty of challenges lie on the horizon. And, as PECOTA indicates, if the Diamondbacks, Giants, and Rockies all linger in the race, the Dodgers can't afford to fall much further behind.
Matchup of the Day
Kuroda, who is scheduled to get the game-one start for the Yankees, has been as reliable as ever this year, balancing out an uptick in walks (from 5.7 percent to 7.5 percent) by striking out a career-high 20.6 percent of the batters that he has faced. A low-ball pitcher with a 49.6 percent career ground-ball clip, which has hiked up to 52.3 percent since the beginning of last season, Kuroda didn't fare particularly well at Coors Field during his time with the Dodgers, posting a 6.85 ERA over four starts. But home runs were not the culprit, as he allowed only two of them in 22 1/3 innings.
Against Kuroda, Fowler is just 4-for-19 lifetime with a triple, no walks, and two strikeouts, which comes out to a .211/.211/.316 triple-slash line for the switch-hitter, who will bat from the left side tonight. As you can see on the afore-linked matchup page, Kuroda has typically used his fastball and sinker to open his showdowns with Fowler, more so than he has against other lefties, but his splitter is an even more critical pitch.
The data on Kuroda's Brooks Baseball card suggest that left-handed hitters that fall behind in the count against him must account for the splitter at all times, because the righty loves to use it as his put-away offering. It has been as effective as ever this year, inducing whiffs on 44.64 percent of the swings taken against it, up from his career clip of 37.26 percent. The splitter is relatively dangerous to use when Fowler is in the box, because the Atlanta native feasts on pitches in the lower third of the zone, but he has a soft spot in the low-and-away corner that Kuroda could look to exploit.
Both of Kuroda's strikeouts versus Fowler have come on sliders, one in the zone and one darting toward the hitter's back foot, and in each case, it was set up with hard stuff either up or in the outer portion of the zone. If Kuroda is to sustain his ownage on Fowler, that tandem—heaters at the letters, spin at the shins—might be his ideal recipe.

Please stop calling right-handers "northpaws". I mean, really. Thank you, and we can now return to normal programming.

Your comment "reeks of handism, sir, please take it back" :) If we southpaws are to be labelled, then so should Northpaws, though my interpretation would be left hander,westpaw,right hander ,eastpaw.Seems to make more sense.

What I've always heard is that, in the old days, baseball fields were aligned such that home plate faced west (presumably for sun-related reasons) so, if you stood on the rubber with your arms extended, your left arm would be pointing roughly south.

Dodger observation right on but you failed to mention atrocious outfield defense
May 07, 2013 07:46 AM
Speaking of bad luck, even with a very small sample size, what's with Chris Volstad this year and his ERA of 8.53 and FIP of 2.98? That's got to be the widest spread I've seen.
May 07, 2013 07:58 AM
Vin Scully mentioned Goldschmidt's numbers against Capuano after the home run and then said (paraphrasing) that Goldschmidt should put him on the form as a dependent. I guess that really tickled my CPA funnybone.
May 07, 2013 10:44 AM
Why did McCarthy go away from the four seam fastball and to the "cutter" after a successful 2011 season is the question I have been wondering?

At the same time refined and old, Carnival for centuries has been a waiver of all moral norms, the home of total offense and lust, free zone in order to achieve even the most hidden desires. The most important days of Carnival are traditionally on Shrove Tuesday, which precedes the beginning of Lent (Ash Wednesday), as well as the Carnival Thursday, a celebration of the anniversary of the defeat of Ulrich, and of course the weekend, where ' influx of tourists, and therefore the activities are far superior.
Official holidays, but not limited to, at the great Venetian palaces are hundreds of private parties and masked balls, with a frame remained unchanged over time due to period furniture. The edition of the Venice Carnival 2013 will take place on February 4 to 21, and is definitely an issue, "long", which will enrich and liven life in Venice for three weekends instead of the usual two, with a packed program of events , parties, fashion shows. The core, the heart of the Carnival as every year is in Piazza San Marco, hence the celebrations will start with the infamous Flight of the Dove (or Angel's Flight, or Turkish), and always there will be the Feast of Marie an 'ancient and beloved historical re-enactment introduced nell'annus 943 AD domains as a blessing of the brides, with musicians, various artists, ancient games of popular origin, and tournaments.

My site is mostly static html (no CMS) with some php. I want to add the Site Name so that it doesn't appear in the search engine title tag but does appear after a seperator in the browser bar. I want to this because I have a very long site name and I don't want it to use up all my title tag characters but do want it to appear in a visitors browser bar.
E.g This is the title tag content for me to use l My site name
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I am not aware of any way to do that.
But if the site name appears after the page name then it doesn't matter if it goes over 60 characters, it will just be truncated at that point, but the page name will appear first and so will be left intact.
My question would be why do you have a title so long, at least in terms of the title attributes ACTUAL PURPOSE -- the title as it appears in the browser title-bar, in a tab, or on the desktop.
Though this kind-of falls into the "this is why we can't help you" trap since you included no links to the page in question.
But from what you've said so far, it sounds like the page itself is problematic at best... I'm guessing wildly but I smell SEO snake oil.
The name of the business is long i.e. 29 characters - simple as that. You don't need a link to the site to help with the question. Wordpress allows you to add a "site title" in 'settings' that allows you to do just this. My question is can I achieve this - maybe with a php snippet?
it sounds like the page itself is problematic at best... I'm guessing wildly but I smell SEO snake oil.
Yes, you're right on this you are guessing wildly, the page isn't problematic I am trying to do something that I have explained for a logical reason that I have also explained.
Thanks Stevie, yes thats an option - I guess I just wanted the title to appear clean on the serps and avoid truncation if possible. I had noticed that Wordpress allows you to do this so thought I might be able to achieve this somehow myself.
I believe potentially you could use a user-agent detection string and place the TITLE into a variable but whether it was a sensible thing to do is another matter.
I wouldn't recommend it - at worst, it will look like cloaking and get you severe black marks.
Yes, I agree not a good idea. I was just saying theoretically, loosely that's probably how it could be done.
When you said long I thought you meant LONG. 29 characters is bupkis...
Then open up a wordpress site that does it, and look at how it does it!

Kendall Wells Offers Stage and Film Combat Classes at Lakewood Theatre, 1/19-2/9
Do you want to learn the sword fighting skills used in The Hobbit, Pirates of the Caribbean or Romeo and Juliet? Or are you an actor who wants to learn on-camera and stage stunt-fighting skills? Film and stage fight director Kendall Wells will conduct two different series of classes at Lakewood Theatre Company, January 19 - February 9, 2013.
SWORD FIGHTING FOR STAGE AND FILM is designed for ages 13 - 17.
Ever wonder how they make sword fights look so real in films like The Hobbit or stage productions of Romeo and Juliet? This class will cover the basics of how sword fights work with hands on training. We'll go through attacks, parries, footwork, and learn fight scenes that could be used on stage or Hollywood set.
FIGHT PERFORMANCE FOR FILM, TV AND STAGE for college and adult ages.
Portland is often in need of actors with on-camera and stage stunt-fighting skills. If you have the skill, it can help get you the part. If you don't, you're just another actor auditioning. These classes will provide you with knowledge of fight skills that will give you an edge over the competition. We'll cover what's used most often in modern film and television, look at choreography through a camera and watch playback, and dissect the anatomy of a fight. Loads of fun, extremely educational, and a rare and valuable skill to have as an actor.
Instructor Kendall Wells is an actor and fight director based out of Portland and Los Angeles. He is one of only two people certified to teach De Longis Performance & Combat Arts, created by fight master Anthony De Longis, whom Kendall has been studying with for nine years.

MARTINEZ — A 22-year-old North Richmond man was sentenced Thursday to 77 years to life in prison for killing a young Muslim whom he mistook for a rival in a Richmond gang war.
"Asama is a good person and will be missed. He didn't have a chance to make his dreams come true," wrote Fayza Ayyad, the mother of slain El Cerrito 20-year-old Asama Ayyad, in a letter she was too upset to read at the sentencing of Nickie Donald.
Donald was 19 when he fired at Ayyad's white Lexus sedan on June 25, 2010, mistaking Ayyad and his 15-year-old cousin for two Central Richmond gang members, brothers Aaron and Markeith Miles. The brothers were sentenced this year to prison terms for murder and attempted murder, respectively.
Ayyad and his cousin had been volunteering that night at the Masjid Al-Noor mosque and were running an errand when they were fired upon at 22nd Street and Bissell Avenue in Richmond. After being shot in the side, Ayyad crashed his car into a pole within a block of the mosque where relatives and other worshipers were gathered for an event.
Ayyad's family owns the Zaki Kabob House restaurant in Albany, which closed temporarily while the family was in mourning.
A Contra Costa jury in February convicted Donald of first-degree murder, attempted murder, shooting into an occupied vehicle and shooting from a moving vehicle. Jurors, however, rejected a charge enhancement alleging the shooting was committed for the benefit of a gang. Judge Theresa Canepa said Thursday that the evidence showed the shooting was the result of a gang war between Donald's gang, the Project Trojans, and the Deep C gang, to which the Miles brothers belonged.
Defense attorney Brooks Osborne had asked for a short sentence for Donald, whom he said is capable of rehabilitation. He described Donald as a sensitive, remorseful young man and not the coldhearted murderer the prosecutor portrayed him to be. In a letter read by Osborne, Donald apologized for hurting Ayyad's family "mentally, physically and emotionally."
"I'm sorry about what took place and if I could I would trade places with the victim, because me being dead is better than me having to live knowing I took another man's life, no matter what the circumstances were," Donald wrote.
Ten-year-old Amir Ayyad handed prosecutor Satish Jallepalli two Matchbox toy cars that reminded him of his brother before telling Donald he is disappointed in him.
"You hurt my brother for no purpose. I hope you get what you deserve," the child said. "Think about it and learn from your mistakes. You hurt my feelings, and now I can't play with my brother anymore."

CLEARANCE - Starting Out - Sicilian DragonProduct Code: B0040EM
Publisher: Everyman Chess
Author: Andrew Martin
Year of Publication: 2005
Pages: 208
Notation Type: Algebraic (AN)
Book Description Few would disagree that the Sicilian Dragon is one of the most exciting, high profile and controversial openings in chess history. Right from the very beginning of the game Black chooses to unbalance the position, thus maximising his or her chances of playing for a win. The positions reached are dynamic and of a highly tactical nature, with both players very often going straight for each other's throats in search of a quick-fire knockout blow.
In these razor-sharp encounters, it goes without saying that one slip by either side can prove to be fatal. Because of its aggressive nature, the Sicilian Dragon is very popular at all levels of chess, while it received an ultimate seal of approval when Garry Kasparov used it as his main weapon to beat Vishy Anand in a World Championship match.
In Starting Out: The Sicilian Dragon Andrew Martin studies this famous opening in a simplistic way, introducing the crucial initial moves and ideas and taking care to explain the reasoning behind them, something that has sometimes been neglected or taken for granted. As with previous works in the popular Everyman Chess Starting Out series, the reader is helped throughout with a plethora of notes, tips and warnings highlighting the vital characteristics of the Sicilian Dragon and of opening play in general.
* Written by an openings expert
* All main lines of the Sicilian Dragon are covered
* Ideal for the improving player

Sorry about the hijack there, so i will comment on your video - you're still not following through enough, better, but not enough. My wife does what you do but she is subconsciously stopping herself from freely following through because of a previous injury. Let that right arm fling around backwards. I tell my wife to try and reach forward on her line with her left arm, and that helps her with the shoulder rotation.

Behavioral Symptoms of Autism
My 13 year old continues to put things in her mouth and chews on everything? Is this a sign of Autism?
Mouthing things is typical for infants as a way of exploring and learning about the environment. With maturity, the exploration is done more with the hands and in other ways and mouthing is confined to things identified as food. However, several things can cause the less mature mouthing to persist or return.
One, of course, is profound intellectual disability, in which the mental age is at an infant stage. This is not the most likely explanation for most individuals with autism. Autism can include sensory abnormalities, which can result in mouthing in several ways. First, the other senses may not be "comfortable" in that sights, sounds, and even touch may be experienced as overly intense and even painful. With the other senses causing discomfort, the child may prefer to substitute the more comfortable oral orientation.
Second, the oral sensation itself may be gratifying and comforting, self-reinforcing, regardless of the other sensations.
Third, the mouthing could be a form of stereotyped or repetitive behavior.
Fourth, the restricted and peculiar diets that some children with autism follow may leave them with mineral or other deficiencies that they are unconsciously seeking to replenish with various objects. Regarding the latter possibility, a multivitamin/mineral might be worth a try if she is not already taking such. You could consult her pediatrician about reviewing the possibility of a deficiency state, which a summary of her dietary preferences might suggest.
Regardless of cause, a behavioral program could probably reduce the amount of mouthing by substituting other, more acceptable behaviors. If she does not have a behavior specialist, her case manager should be able to arrange that. If she does not have a case manager, contact your local county Board of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities to get one assigned.

A series of weekend avalanches killed a snowmobiler, buried three other people and closed a major canyon.
A series of weekend avalanches killed a snowmobiler, buried three other people and closed a major canyon.
With rapidly warming temperatures, the Utah Avalanche Center declared this weekend that avalanche danger remains high and warned outdoors enthusiasts against venturing into the backcountry.
The reason was clear in Grand County, where search and rescue crews recovered the body of a snowmobiler swept away in a Saturday avalanche in the La Sal Mountains.
Garrett Carothers, 18, of Redvale, Colo., had been snowmobiling with three other people in Beaver Basin, a remote area about 35 miles west of Gateway, Colo., when the avalanche happened, Grand County Sheriff Steve White said. The slide began about 1,000 vertical feet above the snowmobilers and caught Carothers in a narrow stream drainage, according to Utah Avalanche Center forecaster Max Forgensi.
Carothers was not carrying a rescue beacon. Searchers found his snowmobile buried under 12 feet of snow Saturday evening. His body was found Sunday at the same depth about 5 feet away.
But avalanche danger wasn't isolated to Utah's untracked slopes over the weekend.
A snowboarder was partly buried in an avalanche Sunday afternoon at Snowbird ski resort.
The slide occurred about 1:35 p.m. in-bounds on a run known as Blackjack a west-facing slope that separates Snowbird and Alta, Unified Police Department spokesman Justin Hoyal said. Avalanche control work was done Sunday on the slope, which had been open for three to four hours before the slide.
The 24-year-old man suffered minor injuries and was taken to a hospital, Hoyal said.
"It's extremely rare to have a slide after avalanche control work has been done and after the slope has been well skied on all day, like this slope was," Snowbird spokeswoman Emily Moench said.
Rapidly-warming temperatures following weekend storms likely contributed to the avalanche, which was 2 to 3 feet deep and about 80 feet wide, she said. Nobody else was caught in the slide.
Other avalanches in Little Cottonwood Canyon led authorities to close the canyon road from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Hoyal said.
In Summit County, a snowmobiler was swept away in an avalanche he triggered about 2:45 p.m. east of Marion, sheriff's deputies said. The 24-year-old Heber City man was buried under 10 feet of snow after being caught in a slide 200 yards across and 600 to 800 feet long on Drop Doom near Hoyt Peak. His friends quickly uncovered him, even though he was not wearing an avalanche beacon, deputies said. He was not seriously injured.
Yet another skier was caught in an avalanche in Millcreek Canyon, the Utah Avalanche Center reported. The skier was testing a slope Saturday in the western part of Porter Fork when the snow gave way, forecasters wrote. He was buried under 3 feet of snow and was quickly found by his partners. He was able to ski out without assistance.
As of Sunday night, 28 avalanches from Logan Canyon to Moab were reported this weekend to the Utah Avalanche Center. The center warned of high avalanche risk for nearly all Utah mountains.
Backcountry skiers and snowmobilers are advised to stay out of the mountains of northern and central Utah, including the Bear River Range, the Western Uintas and the Wasatch Plateau. Rapid warming and direct sunlight will create dangerous and unstable avalanche conditions, the Utah Avalanche Center warned. Both natural and human-triggered avalanches are likely.

Jack Blank confronts his destiny in this action-packed conclusion to the trilogy Publishers Weekly calls a "no-holds-barred adventure".
Ever since Jack Blank learned that he came from the amazing country of the Imagine Nation, he's known that his fate could go down two very different paths - he could either be the greatest hero the world has ever known, or its greatest villain.
Now the final battle is here, and it's time for Jack to discover the direction of his destiny.
The action-packed trilogy concludes with more surprises, twists, and adventure than ever - along with the same humor and heart that has brought so many fans to Jack's story.

Kidney Diseases
Dark Urine and Dehydration
1) My urine ranges from a deep yellow to a cloudy dark yellow 2) My body looks dry and feels dehydrated. I feel a constant need to moisten my body with water or cream to quench its thirst. 3) I am a 26 old female with no medical conditions.
Although, I don`t know of it is of any use to you, I noticed that before and after my period I get stomach pain (literally my stomach), my stool changes, and urine has bubbles. These are fairly recent symptoms that I never had before. Thanks
I am unable to provide a definite answer to your questions based on the information you've provided. However, in the wintertime skin certainly tends to be dry and may require frequent treatment with moisturizing agents.
As for your other symptoms, they certainly could be related to hormonal changes associated with your periods. The best thing to do would be to see your doctor while actually having these symptoms, in order to have a thorough physical exam and lab tests, or at least a urine test (since bubbles in the urine may be caused by protein in the urine, which may be a sign of kidney disease).
