I laughed at this question. Bruce from Indy
Question: I've been noticing Rick Carlisle's clay feet of late. That he is a good coach is unquestionable; but, I must admit to being fed up with the man. First, there is his laissez-faire attitude about blowing double-digit leads.
Now, he thinks that the rotation must be set in stone (I believe it is his brain that is calcified), rather than flexible. In the Miami game, to cite the latest example, a line-up containing four reserves was building a substantial lead and he began inserting the starters who began squandering that lead. A line-up should be determined by productivity, not a set rotation time. Simply, "If it ain't broke; don't fix it."
Larry Bird is the only person in the organization to whom RC is likely to listen. Do you think there is chance that Larry might be having doubts about his coach's thinking and chew his, er, ear? (Bruce from Indianapolis)
Answer: I doubt Bird has any great concerns about Carlisle's coaching. He no doubt sees something on occasion that he questions, but I have the feeling he's not an intrusive team president who's going to force his will upon the coach. He was left alone when he was the head coach and he'll give Carlisle the same respect. The two talk often and I know Bird provides input, but I doubt he gets into substitution patterns. I believe he encouraged Carlisle to play Tinsley earlier in the season, but I don't think he meddles on smaller issues.
Carlisle has a consistent approach, and it's worked well for him most of the time. I was interested in his thoughts about bringing his starters back in that game because, as you mention, the reserves built the lead. But I got the answer I expected. He's not likely to make a drastic change from a system that has been effective. If they go on to lose a close game with most of the starters on the bench, that's going to raise questions, too.
I wouldn't say Carlisle doesn't care about giving up leads. I think he's careful not to make too much public criticism of the players, especially when they're winning. Admittedly, the issue of losing leads but still winning games has to qualify as a small one. It's something that could haunt them in the playoffs as it did last season, but coaches understand that opponents are going to make runs. Still, it's important that the Pacers get in the habit of playing with intensity and focus when they're leading just as when they're behind. There's great benefit to blowing out an opponent and resting the starters and getting playing time for the reserves.

Fair Trade Chocolate Caramel Brownies
Fair Trade Chocolate Caramel Brownies
Adapted from The Pioneer Woman's Knock You Naked Brownies, these brownies are rich, gooey, chocolatey, and full of caramel goodness. Made with Fair Trade Certified baking mix and chocolate, they're a surprisingly simple and delicious treat that will forever change the way you look at dessert. You must make these. Immediately.
- 1.6 boxes (11.6 Ounce) Simply Organics Fair Trade Certified Devil's Food Cake
- 1 cup Finely Chopped Pecans
- 1/3 cup Evaporated Milk
- 1/2 cup Evaporated Milk (additional)
- 1/2 cup Butter, Melted
- 60 whole Caramels, Unwrapped
- 1/3 cup Sunspire Fair Trade Certified Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 1/4 cup Powdered Sugar
Preparation Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, mix together cake mix, chopped pecans, 1/3 cup evaporated milk, and melted butter. Stir together until totally combined. Mixture will be very thick.
Press half the mixture into a well-greased 9 x 9 inch square baking pan. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove pan from oven and set aside.
In a double boiler (or a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of boiling water) melt caramels with additional 1/2 cup evaporated milk. When melted and combined, pour over brownie base. Sprinkle chocolate chips as evenly as you can over the caramel.
Turn out remaining brownie dough on work surface. Use your hands to press it into a large square a little smaller than the pan. Use a spatula to remove it from the surface, then set it on top of the caramel and chocolate chips.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from pan and allow to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for several hours. When ready to serve, generously sift powdered sugar over the surface of the brownies. Cut into either nine or twelve helpings, and carefully remove from the pan.

World Series, Scutaro gave Peguero a boost
SAN FRANCISCO -- Giants outfielder Francisco Peguero said being able to sit in the dugout during last year's run to the World Series title, along with advice from Marco Scutaro, made him a better player.
Peguero, who spent Spring Training with the Giants, was recalled from Triple-A Fresno before Friday night's game with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
"I had a great Spring Training and started well," said Peguero, who batted .415 with two homers and 14 RBIs in 16 games with Fresno. "The experience of last year helped me a lot. It helped me control my nerves and emotions. That whole experience helped me."
Perhaps the best advice came from Scutaro, the Giants' postseason hero.
"He helped me to make better contact and be more consistent," Peguero said.
Scutaro said it was easy to help Peguero.
"The guy has a world of talent," Scutaro said. "He just needs to be more consistent."
Peguero, who turns 25 on June 1, made his Major League debut last Aug. 25, appearing in 17 games. He hit .188 and stolen three bases.
"He's been playing well," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "He gives us some flexibility in the outfield and with his speed."
The Giants also reinstated left-hander Jeremy Affeldt (strained right oblique) from the 15-day disabled list. Catcher Hector Sanchez was optioned to Fresno, while right-hander Sandy Rosario was optioned following Wednesday's game.

What is holding back hiring? Is it weak demand, or perhaps uncertainty about government regulation and taxes, or maybe restrained access to credit? It might be easy to say "all of the above," and for some businesses that may be true. But when we need to find the most important factors that explain, economy-wide, the reason for the large employment losses and weak hiring gains, we need to do a bit more research.
In that regard, the San Francisco Federal Reserve recently published its analysis of which of these factors was most associated with the unemployment problem. It determined that a lack of demand is the principal problem. Neither a lack of financing nor government-induced uncertainty played much of a role in explaining the unemployment woes, at least from a statistical analysis perspective. Thus, the corollary is that unemployment might fall when demand returns, not necessarily when uncertainty ends.
Here's how the San Francisco Fed did the research. It used survey data from the National Federation of Independent Businesses (you may have seen my columns on the NFIB's surveys). Each monthly survey includes a question about the biggest obstacle businesses see impeding growth. The top three responses have been, in varying degrees, "poor sales," "regulation and taxes" and "financing and interest rates." Regulation and taxes generally ranked the highest on businesses' concerns. But everyone wants fewer regulations and lower taxes, so is that really the cause of layoffs and subsequent weak hiring?
The researchers went into other data, drilling deeper in unemployment, household debt and consumer spending at the levels of individual states and counties. They also correlated measures of consumer spending to both unemployment and household debt. They found that those counties that have the highest consumer debt levels -- generally those that were hit hardest by the housing bust -- had the weakest consumer spending patterns and the biggest increases in unemployment.
In particular, the researchers focused on employment in "non-tradable" sectors, which are jobs and businesses in which a good or service cannot be exchanged in a different region. (You can't export a restaurant meal, a visit to a department store or a haircut across the country.)
By comparing responses among different locales, the researchers determined that there wasn't any statistical relationship to government-induced uncertainty. However, they added the caveat that it is not possible to determine that there was no relationship, just that there is no statistical relationship using the methods they employed, to paraphrase roughly.
Also, perhaps surprisingly, the number of respondents to the NFIB surveys who cite a lack of access to credit as their main problem has been low throughout the past several years. And the researchers did not find that this was the proximate cause for job losses and weak hiring.
So if the biggest problem is lack of demand, what can or should be done about it? I am firmly against fiscal stimulus at this point, since every dollar we spend now has to be repaid later, with interest. Scaring the markets by issuing more debt to fund deficit spending would surely raise our borrowing costs, especially as some members of the Fed are growing wary of endless bond-buying. And monetary policy seems to lack the potency it once had.
What we probably need – and what would be most difficult to engineer – is the next productivity shock. That is, in other words, the equivalent of the next Internet. This would allow the economy to grow faster and provide both more corporate profits at the same time that companies give their employees pay raises.
Consider this graph that shows the trend between productivity gains and the share of the economy going to labor – a proxy for consumers' purchasing power to fuel consumer spending. Here we see that stronger economic growth and greater consumer incomes are generally associated with high and rising productivity gains. When productivity gains are low or falling, employers tend to seize the gains from what little productivity there is, sharing less with workers, resulting in higher unemployment and lower wage gains.
How do we get the next big productivity event? If we knew that, we wouldn't even need to ask the question, would we? Easier said than done.

Although Thomas Edison invented the light bulb and the phonograph, it never occurred to him to mix lights and music because he wasn't very smart. Electrify your senses with this GrouponLive deal to the Spring Awakening Music Festival at Soldier Field. For $114, you get one ticket for general admission on all three days of the festival, taking place Friday, June 14, through Sunday, June 16, from 4 p.m.—11 p.m. on Friday and 12 p.m.—11 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday (up to a $174.50 value, including all fees).
In the shadow of Soldier Field, the Spring Awakening Music Festival returns to lob pulsing electronic beats off the stadium's iconic Doric columns, igniting a three-day dance party propelled by hard-hitting beats and lakeshore breezes. At last year's inaugural festival, which featured Skrillex and Afrojack, more than 50,000 people flocked to the electronic dance-music mecca like moths to a glow stick. This year's festival––expanded to three days, four stages, and 100 global artists––is poised to balloon that attendance record to 75,000, with early-bird tickets selling out in a blink. With Bassnectar and Calvin Harris committed as headliners in 2013's first wave of announced performers, throngs of fans will be able to enjoy music that has defied genres, broken boundaries, and startled countless sleeping horses. Bassnectar's one-man amusement park of amorphous low-end, dubstep gymnastics and 2001: A Space Odyssey–shaming special effects have made him one of the top ticket sellers in the nation and have spawned a fervent following of "Bass Heads." Grammy-nominated house-music powerhouse Calvin Harris creates soundscapes that have enthralled dance clubs around the world and have attracted such high-profile collaborators as Rihanna and Ke$ha. Also performing are 12th Planet, ATB, Boys Noize, Break Science, Chuckie, Excision, Figure, Flosstradamus, Gramatik, Krewella, Lucky Date, Minnesota, Mord Fustang, Nervo, Nicky Romero, Porter Robinson, Robbie Rivera, Tommy Trash, Walden, Wolfgang Gartner, Zedd, and Zeds Dead.<p> Recap of 2012's Spring Awakening Festival <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/3kSKXW3im5Y" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen="allowFullScreen"></iframe>

The First Act: Staged Photography Before 1980
January 20–April 29, 2012
Apparent in the upcoming Focus on the Collection installation, the idea of staging pictures through scene setting, acting, and directing has been fundamental to the field of photography since its inception in 1839.
Photographers have visualized literary passages, constructed dreamlike imagery in darkrooms and studios, and drawn upon cinematic techniques in their pursuit of fabricating alternate realities. On view will be twelve photographs spanning 120 years, including works by Julia Margaret Cameron, Edward Steichen, and Cindy Sherman.
The First Act
provides a prehistory to the large-scale theatrical work in the concurrent feature exhibition,
An Orchestrated Vision: The Theater of Contemporary Photography
, which explores various elements of theatricality in photography from the last 20 years.
Curated by Eric Lutz, associate curator of prints, drawings and photographs, with Ann-Maree Walker, research assistant,
The First Act: Staged Photography Before 1980
will be on view in Gallery 321 from January 20 through April 29, 2012.
This Focus on the Collection installation is presented in conjunction with the exhibition
An Orchestrated Vision: The Theater of Contemporary Photography
, on view in the Main Exhibition Galleries from February 19 through May 13, 2012.

Florimon, Hicks feeling better, return to lineup
MINNEAPOLIS -- After dealing with minor injuries, shortstop Pedro Florimon and center fielder Aaron Hicks both returned to the Twins' lineup on Monday against the White Sox.
Florimon missed three games with a tight right hamstring after leaving Thursday's game in Boston in the seventh inning. But he told Twins manager Ron Gardenhire that his hamstring isn't bothering him and was ready to make his return.
"Flori says he's good to go, but he's said that for three days in a row," Gardenhire said. "So I'm hoping he is good to go and is telling us the truth here. I know he wants to play. But it always worries me when they go back out there with a hamstring thing. But he's done everything they've asked of him. He's run and taken ground balls and ran as fast as he could today in drills."
Hicks, who hyperextended his right elbow in Friday's game, missed two games but was able to take batting practice without any issues before Monday's game. He started in center and batted eighth.
"Hicksie is good to go," Gardenhire said. "I walked up to him in center field and told him if he feels anything in BP, let me know. But he seemed fine."

@ Boston: Seriously, why so many people think that we're going to lose this? It's too early for Boston to be playing good. They are 30th in rebounding. 30th! And their defense is awful when KG is on the bench. Their front court is extremely weak. They are starting Jason Collins at Center for crying out loud. Now, there's always the possibility of Paul Pierce being on fire and Rondo going ham. But even then, they don't have much help from the rest of their team. This will be Bradley's second game off of injury. Courtney Lee and Jason Terry are under-producing. And Barbosa has only logged 2 minutes in the past 5 games due to injury. They were easily beaten by our Western doppelganger last night. I expect a win.
vs Milwaukee: Milwaukee will be at Houston the previous game so they'll have to travel from Houston to Indy. We will have to travel from Boston to Indy. Both teams will be tired. The home crows really helps a good shooting like Milwaukee to shoot even better. So, I don't think that they're going to replicate their shooting in Indiana. Tricky defense but we should be able to win this as we have not looked bad against playoff teams at home.
vs Miami and vs New York: I expect us to go 1-1 in those two games. I feel that Miami is more likely to beat us than the Knicks simply because Miami is injury free and looking to embark on a new winning streak. Of course, Miami coasts during the regular season so you never know. I find it more probable that we beat the Knicks due to Felton's injury and due to the fact that teams that shoot a lot from the perimeter like the Knicks can easily go cold on an away game.
vs Charlotte: Well, we should beat the Bobcats.
@ Brooklyn: They fired their coach and now they're surging. It's also an away game so I'm fully expecting a loss.
@ Charlotte: Again, we should beat the Bobcats.
@ Orlando: This game is a question mark. It really depends on who the Magic trade in the deadline. If Redick and Jameer are still with them, I expect a loss. If not, I expect a win.
vs Houston: They will either kill us or we will kill them. If Harden gets his calls and puts PG in foul trouble then chances are that we're going to lose. If they hit their 3s, they could kill us as well. If they don't hit their 3s at a high clip and spend most of the game isolating Harden against PG (while not putting him on foul trouble, of course) then I can see us winning this. As it is a home game, I'll give the advantage to our guys but it's really, really close.
@ Memphis: They will beat us, no doubt about it. We are far too similar this season in order to get an qway win out of each other. They will hit more perimeter shots at their home, we will hit less so we will naturally lose.
@ Portland: Are they going to be the same team after the deadline? If yes, then we will beat them as they have a worse bench than ours. If they have upgraded our bench then it can go either way.
@ Utah and @ Denver: I think that we go 1-1 against those two. In general, I think that we split the West coast trip. I certainly see a loss in Memphis as I mentioned and I possibly see a win in Portland but I have no idea what is going to happen between those two. We possibly lose by the hottest one of the two and beat the other one.
vs Detroit: We should beat Detroit as it is going to be the first game of the homestand.
That's 10-4 with one wild card game. However, those predictions are fairly optimistic and I am willing to acknowledge. I can see us going anywhere from 11-4 to 8-7.
I definitely think that we're going to be over .500 for the month, though. We may face several stronger opponents but at least we get them at home for a change.
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.

I'm late, and I think it's more accurate to just guess the total W/L rather than specify each game, but I'll play along:
Wed 2 vs Washington - W
Fri 4 @ Boston - L
Sat 5 vs Milwaukee - W
Tue 8 vs Miami - W
Thu 10 vs New York - L
Sat 12 vs Charlotte - W
Sun 13 @ Brooklyn - L
Tue 15 @ Charlotte - W
Wed 16 @ Orlando - W
Fri 18 vs Houston - W
Mon 21 @ Memphis - L
Wed 23 @ Portland - L
Sat 26 @ Utah - W
Mon 28 @ Denver - L
Wed 30 vs Detroit - W
7-5 from here on, 9-6 for the month. Very tempting to have us lose vs MIA, @ORL, and @UTA, but I just felt like that was a bit much.
To me the Boston loss was something of a shocker. Of course the Hill and Young injuries really hurt, but still Boston just doesn't look that good right now and didn't in that game even. In the 3rd the Pacers were blowing up their offense and getting all sorts of stops and TOs which they came down and turned into nothing. With any decent level of offense at all they would have won the game rather than getting blown out.
Congrats to McDunken, *astrisk*, and Hicks, the only posters to predict a Pacers win.
This is making me really hopeful about the rest of the month.
This space for rent.
That'll do pig.. That'll do.
The funny thing is that I felt more confident they could beat Miami today than I did when I made my prediction, which isn't saying much since I said they'd get killed. In the end I match the 3-1 prediction but with polar opposite expected outcomes in the Boston and Miami games.
The Pacers are starting to rack up a really strong home record which bodes well for February.
All those "we can't beat a good team" chanters seem to be much quieter now that we've starting playing good teams at home.
Same here. I thought that we would win one game out of the Miami and New York games but I thought that beating NY was more plausible.
Hey, I'll gladly take a win against New York as well
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
4-1 after the last 5
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
I can't edit the original post. Did we add a time limit on edits?
Regardless, my 8-7 prediction is looking pretty conservative right now. We might have 8 wins by the end of next week.
This space for rent.
But W's are W's at this point. And the fact that we're 2 games out of first place in the CONFERENCE without our leading scorer from the past 5 seasons, is something to really be appreciative of. This team is pretty good guys.
I love being dead wrong!
I don't think we're ever going to lose another game again.
So far I've missed on 2 losses and 1 win which means if I get the rest right then they got 9-6 instead of 8-7
Let's see.
My 6-2 prediction was right but I was wrong in two games (Boston loss, Miami win).
Orlando just got Glen Davis back and we all know that Paul struggles against Redick. So, I'll predict a loss. Let's hope that our guys prove me wrong
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
Paul will guard whomever needs to be shut down, and in prior years the problem Paul had was dealing with screens. Orlando hasn't faced this version of the Pacers defense yet and I expect good help defense to deny easy screen and catch plays to Redick, either by hedging on him or challenging the passing lane.
I predicted a loss because of travel. But with an easy 4th and the travel being pretty short between Charlotte and Orlando (plus same time zone) things might not be too bad. Davis will be a problem if he can hit his jumpers.
Damn, they didn't prove me wrong
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
Exactly. Expected loss, nothing to see here, move along.
This space for rent.

From time to time I do like to treat myself to a nice largish bar of chocolate and that's what happened this morning when I was doing a mini shop in my local Nisa store.
I love the usual, little Rolos and no I don't love anyone enough to give them my last one so Rolos in a bar seemed a nice change to me!
The Packaging:
The bar comes in a light and dark brown plastic wrapper which is oblong in shape and on the front of it we are clearly told that it is Nestle Rolo 'New' and that it contains no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives, that it costs just a pound, there is an at a glance nutritional chart shown and we are asked 'Do you love anyone enough...to share?' and there is a picture shown of the chocolate bar then on the back of the packet other information listed includes ingredients and allergy advice being given, there is a full nutritional chart shown, the best before date is displayed and contact details for the manufacturer are stated. Nice enough and simple enough to open this is.
The Bar Of Rolo:
I was so looking forward to munching my way through the bar but to be honest before I knew it I had eaten all 10 squares of the chocolate which at 102kcal and 3.1g of saturated fat per 2 pieces is not a healthy option and I have to be honest I didn't think very much to the bar on the whole either and in my view it really isn't worth putting weight on for and I was very disappointed with it!
What you get is one big bar of 10 milk chocolate squares and they are easily snap off the bar. It a milk chocolate, rather glossy looking bar and one side of it is flat and smooth with the top being raised like the top of an original Rolo and within that there is some golden caramel stored.
The chocolate is nice enough but it isn't outstanding just ok really and the caramel within it is rather wet and gooey and for me was overly sweet and not the slightly chewy texture I expected compared to the original Rolos either.
For me this is mediocre chocolate and nothing special at all and although still called Rolo its isn't anywhere near as good just a good marketing ploy to get more money from Rolo fans!
Not for me, it isn't awful just plain and rather boring.
Available from all good supermarkets etc.
This review is also posted on Ciao under this same username.
I was browsing Tesco because I was bored and I came across my favourite isle. The confectionery isle! Whilst looking I noticed there was a variety of chocolate bars that were priced at £1 each. I thought bargain! As Tesco's are quite expensive I was surprised and treated myself to a new Rolo share bar.
At first glance the bar seems quite small compared to other name branded chocolate bars. The Rolo symbol is quite out there so it easily catches your eye. Regards the background it's quite minimalistic. The rolo Symbol is in its original form Red. The background itself is quite plain with similar shades of Brown. The depth of the packaging is quite thin so it makes you think you're not getting too much of the chocolate. Quite stingy I think! If you are someone who is watching your weight there is a small GDA chart at the bottom right hand corner of the packet.
On opening the pack the chocolate bar seems quite thin. Each segment is quite large. The smell is quite chocolaty which makes my taste buds tingle when wanting that chocolate fix. The taste though is quite rich so having too many blocks of it can be a bit too heavy on the tummy and can make you feel quite queasy. Through the bar there seems to be a lot of caramel which is very sticky and can make quite a mess when breaking a piece off from the bar. I noticed particularly that a few minutes after taking a bite there is a slight after taste which can be a little off putting if you feel a little nauseous.
The hubby though strongly disagreed with this! He felt that the whole experience of tasting this was very satisfying. He likes very strong and creamy chocolate. He isn't sensitive to sickly chocolate.
On the back of the chocolate bar there is a detailed chart of the nutritional value of the bar. In a 2 piece section of the bar there is 102 calories which is around twice as much as other chocolate bars. The reason for this is maybe because of the caramel within the bar. I wouldn't recommend this product for someone who is watching their weight or who has intolerance to sugar!
My overall opinion is quite average as it's quite sickly. I personally would only buy this again if it was on offer. Other than that I think if I was to eat it again I would probably nick a few segments off my hubby or a friend.
---Why I Had This---
My friend got me this bar to give me along with my Birthday gifts - not because I am mad on Rolo especially but because it was 'new'.
---The Brand---
The original Rolos have been made since the 1930s and we are all familiar with then in a long round tube. Originally made by Mackintoch but now produced by Nestle.
---The Product---
Bar of chocolate with rolos in it.
New Rolo Bar - marked as £1.
No artificial colours, flavours or preservatives,
Comes in a flat bar wrapped in coloured plactic paper.100 gram bar.
The bar is in ten chunks - two chunks being 102 calories.
Milk chocolate bar with caramel centre (30%).
May contian traces of peanut, nuts or soya.
£1 as marked on the packet.
Currently at Tesco you can pick up 4 origial Rolo tubes for £1 - which seems much better value (their normal price is £1.49)..
---My Opinion---
I have been familiar with Rolos since I was a child in the 60s - and those original caramel filled chocolates in a tube are still for sale thank goodness.
I suppose manufacturers have to keep coming up with new gimicks - and this I think is one of them.
The bar itself is milk choclate and it is divided into ten segments or chunks. Eack chunk looks as if it has had a Rolo placed on it and which has started to collapse and melt down - so although they still look like Rolos they are flatter than the proper Rolo. When snapped you get a square of chocolate with a Rolo on the top so to speak - but all fused into one. Being smaller Rolos there is less caramal this way and more chocolate - and I was not keen on it at all - in fact I gave half the bar to my husband. I found the chocolate sweet ad sickly and the caramel centre not as nice or as much as a proper Rolo.
Not one I would want to try again - although I would have a tube of Rolos.
Overall it was sweet and sickly - a poor imitation of a proper Rolo and also for £1 quite expensive in my opinion.
---Star Rating---
2 stars - I think the original is best - and so why change it.
---Would I Recommend?---
Not really - apart form a bit of a novelty.

In patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD), exercise induced limb ischemia (claudication) which limits walking capacity. Symptoms are due to pain at hip and/or buttock. Couple of origins may induce this pain such as vascular, cardiac, respiratory, musculoskeletal, neurologic, hematologic etc. The rate of associated respiratory pathology to patients with lower extremity artery disease (LEAD) is around 15%. The intolerance to walk could be link to an exercise hypoxia which appears with lower limb pain with or without associated dyspnea. The exercise hypoxemia becomes a diagnostic for an intermittent vascular claudication. Tests which are performed to diagnose an intermittent claudication are the Ankle to Brachial Systolic pressure Index (ABI), the echo-Doppler of lower limb arteries and the walking test on a treadmill associated to a measurement of the distal and chest transcutaneous oxygen pressure (tcpO2).
Thus, the purpose of the present research is to determine the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnoea in patient with PAD.

Reflux is known medically as Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux (GOR) and describes the regurgitation of stomach contents back up into your baby's oesophagus, which usually leads to vomiting.
The oesophagus is sometimes also called the gullet and is a long, muscular tube that connects the top part of your baby's stomach to her mouth. Reflux is common in babies because they often have an immature relaxation of the muscle valve that separates the top of the stomach from their oesophagus. Instead of being tightly closed after allowing food and liquids pass through, the muscle valve remains loosely open - which allows for the stomach contents to come back up from your baby's stomach. Vomiting associated with reflux usually occurs within the first hour after feeding.
For most babies, reflux is untroubling - they vomit often and easily and never seem upset by it. This type of repeated regurgitation of milk is called posseting, and is grown out of without the need of any medical assistance.
Recognising the signs of reflux can be difficult, particularly as reflux symptoms can also combine with colic and/or wind to create a very unhappy baby experiencing a variety of symptoms. Reflux generally falls into one of three categories and understanding these will make it easier to help your baby and manage her reflux:
The term 'normal reflux' can be used to describe most babies who experience reflux. Babies with 'normal reflux' are often described as 'happy chuckers'. These babies continue to thrive and put on weight, but just frequently provide their parents with a mess of vomit to clean up along the way!
A baby with normal reflux can vomit up small puddles, or dribbles during and after each feed, when she is lying down, or even when she is crawling. Reflux vomiting may also be the dramatic 'projectile' vomits that comes up as a gush, and does a great job of soaking everything and everyone nearby.
Generally, your baby will naturally outgrow her reflux, as the stomach valve matures and strengthens. The vomiting usually peaking at about 4 months of age, and stopping completely between 6-12 months old. Reflux also usually improves once your baby eats more solids and less milk and spends more time in an upright position - when she is sitting and later, walking.
The pain from silent reflux usually occurs 60-90 minutes after your baby has had a feed - this is the time when her stomach normally undergoes an increase in pressure, to allow food to move from the stomach into the intestines for absorption. But instead of all the stomach contents going into the bowel, some is allowed by the weak stomach muscle valve to be forced back up into the oesophagus. If your baby is sleeping, the pain associated with this will often cause her to wake crying, with some babies becoming very distressed, and hard to comfort and resettle again. If your baby has silent reflux, she may cry inconsolably. Her body may become quite tense and she may arch her back in pain.
For a few babies, at some point oesophageal reflux becomes excessive, to the point that it starts to affect their health. Excessive reflux is usually related to the frequency and severity of reflux episodes. If your baby's reflux becomes severe, for a prolonged period of time, it may possibly lead to her experiencing some of the following health problems, including:

Although the Tam High girls tennis team breezed through the opening round of the North Coast Section Division I playoffs earlier this week, its quarterfinal matchup against San Ramon Valley was a completely different story.
The second-seeded Red-tailed Hawks had their backs against the wall before pulling out a 4-3 win over seventh-seeded San Ramon Valley at home on Friday.
Tam will face MCAL rival Redwood in the semifinals on Saturday at 11 a.m. at Round Hill Country Club in Alamo.
"It's going to be very, very tough in a 4-3 format. It's a different ball game," Tam coach Bill Washauer said. "It'll be a good match. It's a shame we aren't on opposite sides of the draw so we can play in the final."
Tam proved it could handle the pressure in its come-from-behind win over San Ramon Valley to make it to the semifinals.
"They're a good team. There is no question about it," Washauer said. "We clearly had the advantage at the top three singles spots, but you have to get that fourth point. The question is where was it going to come from?"
With the scored tied 3-3, Tam (24-4) got that match-clinching fourth point from its No. 1 doubles team of Mikaila Smith and Naomi Arthur, who defeated Regan Corcoran and Katie Berriatua 6-2, 7-6 (6).
"We started out really strong, then the pressure kind of got to us, but we wanted to win every point so we stuck with it," Arthur said.
Before it even got to that match the Red-tailed Hawks found themselves down 3-2. It was Tam's No. 1 singles player, Chelsea Hayashi, who defeated Ginny Purcell 6-0, 6-1 to set the table for Smith and Arthur's clinching match.
"I definitely went out there very motivated," Hayashi said. "As a senior it's my last home match so I wanted to make the best of it. It was tough because we were down 2-3 when I was playing, but my team was there for me and I felt the energy."
Tam started the match off strong, taking the Nos. 2 and 3 singles matches in straight sets. Lani Tice took down Jordan Wood 6-0, 6-2 at No. 3 singles. Hillary Fazekas defeated Sarah Murray 6-3, 6-0 at No. 2 singles.
"The first set was actually pretty close, but then I got more comfortable — started playing my game," Fazekas said. "Then the second set was really speedy. She had a really consistent game. I just made sure to hit a penetrating ball and tried to move her around."
Then San Ramon Valley (14-5) took the next three matches. San Ramon earned wins at Nos 2 and 3 doubles and No. 4 singles. Seddon Macholz and Catherine McSweeney defeated Tam's Lainie Johnston and Anika Kharkar 6-4, 2-6, 7-5, in the closest match of the afternoon.
"I am very happy with our performance, especially coming from a tough league like we did, and making it to the second round (of NCS) and facing the reigning NCS champions (Tam) and doing as well as we did," McSweeney said.
San Ramon Valley coach Frank Haswell was also happy with his team's performance.
"The girls played better than I expected they'd play," Haswell said. "They were in every match and they played hard. It came down to the No.1 doubles and that's the way it should be."

Leaders at all levels take initiative, think and plan strategicallyand overcome obstacles to impact the bottom line.
Please wait while you are redirected.
Leaders at all levels take initiative, think and plan strategically and overcome obstacles to impact the bottom line. Participants will focus on developing their own skills, as well as exploring strategies for building a high performing team, overcoming communication challenges, managing change in the workplace and building the organizational future. Programs will feature discussion, cases, assessments, and simulation to drive facility with frameworks for immediate application upon returning to work. Individuals who take all leadership courses within 2 program cycles (1 year) earn a Graduate Certificate in Leadership.
Who Should Attend
Participants come from a variety of industries and levels of experience, and all aspire to become more effective in their leadership and to take on greater leadership challenges. The courses are particularly suited for those transitioning into roles with great leadership responsibility.
D. Brent Smith, Ph.D.: Senior Associate Dean of Executive Education | Essentials Of Leadership; Leading And Managing High-Performance Teams
Scott Sonenshein, Ph.D.: Professor of Management | Leading Change
Vikas Mittal, Ph.D.: J. Hughe Liedtke Professor of Marketing | Strategic Decision Making & Critical Reasoning
Highly successful companies have leadership at all levels, and this program will consider the differences between leadership and management. By examining personal style and disposition, participants will identify the areas of their management style that are strengths and will support their transition into greater levels of responsibility and, perhaps more importantly, identify critical development areas that may hinder their future performance. In addition, understanding differing levels of leadership and transition points allow participants to balance different systems such as networks, job rotation, and action learning with traditional coaching and mentoring techniques.
The best designed process and technical mastery does not necessarily lead to optimal decisions and outcomes, yet career success is often linked to competence in high stakes decision making. After understanding the core elements of individual and group reasoning, participants become more attune to unconscious bias through cases, short role plays, and a personal assessment on the role of emotions.
High achieving teams focus the creative energy of individuals towards an outcome, while ineffective teams are hampered by internal conflict and poor decision-making. By analyzing the characteristics of high performing teams and understanding the ripple effects of individual preference, participants will leave the course with techniques to successfully organize teams, create organizational enablers, manage conflict, and derive success.
Most change initiatives fail to meet their intended objectives. Discover
how to lead successful change through diagnosis, stakeholder analysis,
influence, and adaptation. Participants learn how to navigate common
pitfalls and foster widespread participation using case studies and
experiential learning.

FROME Town won their first home league game since March of last year as they produced a superb performance to down Banbury.
After the poor home defeat by Bashley on Saturday, manager Adrian Foster had promised that searching questions would be asked - and new signing from Swindon, Mark Francis, going straight into the forward line while Kris Miller made his first start on his return to the club.
Frome went close in the fourth minute as a fine run on the left by Francis put Ricky Hulbert clean through on goal and only an instinctive reaction save from Kwame Forah denied him.
Ben Wood took the resulting corner and Jack Vallis found time and space almost on the goal line, chesting the ball down and volleying it into the top corner to give Frome the lead.
Another excellent Forah save denied Hulbert again in the 11th minute as he got his head to a Wood free kick and, after a period when Banbury came back into the game more, Frome were awarded a penalty as a deflected Miller shot spun wickedly up into the air, and as it came down, Forah dropped the ball and then fouled Hulbert from behind as he tried to retrieve it.
Wood took the penalty but Forah threw himself across the goal to save at mid height.
Banbury equalised in the 36th minute as Scott Bridges hammered home from the penalty spot after a soft-looking penalty had been awarded, after Forah produced three quality saves in a short space of time.
The first came as Vallis got a clean head to a Josh Ford free kick, headed the ball down and as it bounced up, Forah amazed everybody by getting a hand to it and just pushing it up over the bar.
As the corner swung in, Matt Smith caught it on the volley and was again denied by Forah as he threw himself to his left and recovered quickly enough to save a third time from Francis.
However, Frome did take the lead four minutes later as Vallis latched onto a free kick and played the ball sweetly to Francis who sealed a fine debut with a well-taken goal as he shot across Forah and into the far corner.
Banbury made it 2-2 a minute later as Ford attempted a back heel only for Bridges to run onto the ball and hit a low 30-yard screamer into the far corner for yet another excellent goal.
Wood almost made it 3-2 to Frome on the stroke of half time as his own free kick came back to him and he hit a dipping 30-yard volley just over the bar, but then two minutes after half time, he did put Frome into the lead as a superb run and low cross from Miller on the right wing allowed Wood to hammer home the sweetest of left foot volleys from 15 yards at the far post.
Frome always looked threatening when they broke, with Miller, Francis, Smith, Hulbert and Wood all combining well with pace.
Goalkeeper Darren Chitty was a little lucky in the 59th minute as he hit a clearance straight against the giant Banbury centre forward Leon Simpson, only for the ball to come straight back to him, and he pulled off a great save in the 80th to push the ball round the post for a corner.
Miller was awarded the H&B Tyres Man of the Man Award by representatives of Moore Stephens Accountants who had sponsored the match.

hye all.. please help me to teach me how to load model 3D into opengl program.. i feel excited to know about it.. to ANUDYAN, COULD U PLEASE HELP ME AND GIVE ME YOUR CODE LIKE YOU GIVE IT TO CHINGCHING? I'M APPRECIATE THAT..
Who are Anudyan and Chingching? There is no one by those names on this forum.
As for loading models, if it's in a standard format you'll need to find a loader on the internet (or write your own if the format specification is available). What format are your models in?
The best place to start with loading models into opengl, and also the furthest I ever got with it, is loading wavefront object models. They end in .obj. Most modelers export in this format. If you open them with a text editor they are written in plain text and the format is pretty easy to figure out, specifying faces and vertices, etc. Doing a search in Google for some like "opengl obj loader" will probably find you some examples.
ok thnks a lot fireside.. can u give me a sample code or project to load the model into opengl?? i really need ur help.. thnks
I think you need to do some of the work yourself if you are to learn anything. Alternatively, download irrlicht or ogre or some other freely available engine and use their model loading functions. You won't be using opengl directly that way, though.
There's some c++ code for loading obj on this page:
There's a 3ds loader here:
Like Sol HSA says, though, you'll learn more if you write your loader and obj is pretty easy to figure out if you open the file. NEHE also has a model loading tutorial but its for milkshape 3d. The first link is a tutorial for obj files so it's probably your best bet.

ooo really.. thnks a lot.. well, may i ask u about AUGMENTED REALITY IN EDUCATION.. actually my final year project is about ARToolkit.. so may i know how to build my own program and combine with ARToolkit? can u help me? please i really2 need your help... thnks....
I took a quick look. It's just c and opengl, so you should be able to load a model and display it like the tutorial for loading objects. You should be working through the tutorials for ArTool and probably ask your teacher for help if you can't understand it. ArtTool looks like it may have model loaders, are you sure it doesn't? If there is a forum for it, that's the first place you should go to ask questions, rather than a general forum like this one. Otherwise it uses Glut, so just find some Glut tutorials on opengl if you can't understand the tutorials from ArtTool. You should start by making triangles and quads and such before working on a model loader. NeHe has some opengl tutorials. From the looks of it, though, I would guess they already have a model loader set up.
NeHe?? what is that?
As a two-second Google search would have told you, it's http://nehe.gamedev.net/
On my website you'll find instruction for creating a caligari COB file loader. I also show how to create your own file format. In the next little while I'll be posting code how to load FBX files too.
orait.. thnks a lot because helping me.. ermm do u know about augmented reality in education? actually my final year project is about augmented reality.. and my lecturer(supervisor) said must use ARToolkit.. do u know about ARToolkit? i want to build my own program using ARToolkit.. could u please give me some guide for build my own program?.
I don't know if you are having problems with Google, but I looked up the forum for you to ask questions:
Go to the development and code sections. There are some questions about model loading there so read them and then ask for help if you don't understand.

PLANNERS at the South Downs National Park have turned down 24 new homes at a mansion near Winchester, because a legal agreement has not been signed.
The park's planning committee backed their officers' recommendation to reject the scheme for ten flats at Abbots Worthy House and two in its coach house.
The scheme also included the demolition of an existing semi-derelict wing, outbuildings and garage and erection of new wing comprising four flats, with 35 parking spaces, and the building of a Regency-style building for eight units of social housing with 12 parking spaces.
A similar scheme was approved in November 2011 but only on condition that the developer signed a legal section 106 agreement to guarantee social housing, a payment for public open space, the protection and future maintenance of a listed Georgian wall and a new crossing and cycling path.
A report to the planning committee meeting at Midhurst in Sussex last Thursday (AUG14) said: "The applicant's mortgage provider was not willing to complete the S106 agreement and the applicant has now disposed of the land. As the S106 has not been completed the application remains undetermined. The new owner is unknown to the SDNPA."
Abbots Worthy House is not listed as it was rebuilt after a major fire in the 1950s.
The 2011 application was controversial with objectors including Kings Worthy Parish Council, the Upper Itchen Valley Society and 43 other people.

Pathetic and women-hating postcards of the anti-Suffragette movement
Share this:
THE Suffragettes wanted the vote for women (fantastic photos). They fought hard and dirty. Many opposed them. In this gallery of postcards, you will see the tactics employed by the anti-Suffragettes. Their message was simple: women's rights meant female domination, child neglect and male slavery. The Dunston-Weiler Lithographic Company produced a set of 12 postcards. Women were haughty, cruel, domineering and just plain wrong:

Friday facts: Two very different economic visions
In President Obama's speech in Ohio yesterday, he described two very different visions for our economy.
The President's vision is to grow our economy from the middle class out—while Mitt Romney's is to return us to the same failed, top-down policies that crashed our economy and hurt the middle class.
Get the word out—share this chart with anyone who wants to know about the clear choice in this election.

I didn't know the Pistons pick went to Charlotte this year if it's not in the top 8. Yikes, if they miss the playoffs and lose their pick that would be rough.
Take two players off the Heat possibility list. Glen BIG BABY Davis will end up in Los Angeles with the Clippers or Brooklyn with the Nets. LA has the edge because they can give him more playing time. Meanwhile, Hoopshype also says Jason Terry will not stay with the Sacramento Kings. He will rehab in Dallas the rest of the season. Which means if JET signs with a new team, won't be till the start of the 2014-2015 season. Players who remain in limbo.......
Earl Clark
Granger maybe?
Ben Gordon
Caron Butler (If Milwaukee buys him out)
The only person I'd be interested in Bird bringing in would be Gordon. But that depends........how do you guys feel about CJ Watson right now?
Last edited by Grimp; 02-22-2014 at 01:18 AM.
CJ Watson > Gordon. All day.
You can't get champagne from a garden hose.
I don't want Gordon on the team like YES....LETS GET HIM. But I was presenting a hypothetical. SHOULD the front office wanna replace CJ. BG would be an OPTION. But I don't hate CJ though. I just wish his shot was more consistent. He'd be another formidable weapon for us. Maybe Bynum and Allen can set some screens for him and we can use his mid-range jumper as a bench weapon.
It's really a shame what has happened to his career. Remember how deadly the Bulls were with him, Rose, and Hinrich? It's like when he signed with Detroit, he just...died.
You really want to kill all team chemistry, Grimp? It's now time to keep the team stable and integrate the three new players and keep the machine oiled and running so that everyone makes the right decisions with and without the ball.

Oladipo has been ****ing balling lately. Rookies usually hit a wall but for some reason he is doing better this time of year.
Putting himself in the mix for ROTY?
Manning and Terry Stotts(Blazers coach) look like they've been separated at birth
Oladipo is pre-MWP Artest without the baggage.
For one thing, he hasn't played for the Pistons for almost two years. And I wouldn't blame the Pistons' recent failures solely on him. Was he overpaid? Yeah, he sure was. But I wouldn't mind having him at the end of the bench instead of Sloan. Not that I think it's a move that needs to be made or anything, but there are worse players than Ben Gordon. I hope he doesn't end up on Miami, getting wide-open looks playing next to LeBron and Wade.
I think Oladipo is ROTY now. He's putting up better numbers than MCW now and at least the Magic are trying to win out there.
"It's just unfortunate that we've been penalized so much this year and nothing has happened to the Pistons, the Palace or the city of Detroit," he said. "It's almost like it's always our fault. The league knows it. They should be ashamed of themselves to let the security be as lax as it is around here."
----------------- Reggie Miller
More like running away with it. MCW's been hitting the wall, Oladipo keeps getting better.
I don't think it's fair to put Evan Turner and Bynum in the same category when it comes to potential issues in the locker room. And for that matter I think Bynum will be on good behavior while he's here, too. There's every reason for him to be. I'm not even concerned about ET at all.
While our roster has definitely went through some major changes, our starting 5 is identical to what was on the floor in the 2013 ECF.
Dirk Nowitzki's shot chart so far for February:
Dirk needs work on the corner 3's..../green
"It's just unfortunate that we've been penalized so much this year and nothing has happened to the Pistons, the Palace or the city of Detroit," he said. "It's almost like it's always our fault. The league knows it. They should be ashamed of themselves to let the security be as lax as it is around here."
----------------- Reggie Miller
Bynum's a weirdo that I think is misunderstood. I like weirdos. I don't think Bynum likes playing basketball but I do think he's smart, I think he understands he's talented in a field he may not enjoy but gives him opportunity to make a fortune and that this is a great chance for him to grow that fortune so do what you gotta do. Turner scares me. I know it sounds contradictory, but he's an irrational confidence guy. He's nowhere near as good as he thinks he is.
Turner thinks basketball owes him, Bynum thinks he owes basketball (for the money). I really think that.
On a side note, I love Utah's commentators tonight, calling out Kevin Love about being a sh*tty defender. Just because of this the Jazz deserve the W tonight. Also crapping on Blake Griffin, elevating his offense this season, but not stepping up defensively the same way. Loving it. Not the hate, but the honesty!
Yay, we don't know what we're doing as a franchise! thanks PG!

As an artist with limited business sense, this was the perfect course for me to take. Kris took a lot of the mystery out of starting a small business. Her teaching style was very friendly and easy to comprehend. Thank you!
Excellent instructor - excellent course! I thoroughly enjoyed taking this class and can't wait to use the information I learned to start setting up my own small business. Thanks for the opportunity for me to be able to take this class. It was very little effort on my part to complete it, but what I learned will stay with me a lifetime.
I enjoyed the course and although I own a small business already, I learned some very important tips.
I enjoyed this class very much, the Professor was extremely knowledgeable and professional. I would definitely recommend it to someone with this particular interest.
I feel this class has helped me gain a greater insight into my own goals and provided support that will be useful going forward in the development of my next career.
I found the instructor to be knowledgeable, approachable, supportive and helpful. She has a very creative side and was very personable as well. I learned a lot in this course and it will all be very useful and applicable in my future business endeavors. I am glad I took this course and will recommend it to others.
I learned a ton and really looked forward to my classes. I am very excited to have found this class and thrilled to have been able to participate in it. Thank you very much.
I really liked the instructor's comments. Especially if it is not what you wanted to hear because sometimes an objective person's point of view helps you decide on what to do and how to do it.
The instructor was very informative and interested in the subject. She was very helpful in the discussion boards. This class was very useful and I would recommend or take any class taught by this instructor.
This was my first online course and I was not sure what to expect. The information was well presented and relevant. I will definitely be signing up for future online courses.

Best Uses
Palermo Flooring provided a team of very professional, highly skilled installers, who started the job when promised, were very accommodating, friendly, neat and did an outstanding job. They are not the cheapest kids on the block but I definitely got the high quality job that I was looking for. I would highly recommend them.
Best Uses
we have this flooring throughout our house in all rooms with the exception of the kitchen and the bathrooms we love it!
Best Uses
Width often varied 1/16 to 1/32 at board ends resulting in very small gaps. Also slight variations between tongue and groves. However, it is a beautiful floor and we are pleased.
Best Uses
Bolivian Rosewood was suggested to me by the Lumber Liquidators salesman after we discussed what I liked. It was installed in Feb. '11 and looks great. Did not install it ourselves so can't comment on that.
Service and delivery comments:
Delivery was about 3 weeks later than originally scheduled so be prepared for that. Product was in good condition. I had very good experiences with every one I dealt with at Lumber Liquidators.
Best Uses
Rosewood is the best looking hardwood product I have owned
Best Uses
The flooring looks great and was easy to install. We used a 403 porta-nailer and had no problems. There was a good mix of various board lengths, so losses were very low (well less than 5%). It compliments our kitchen cabinets. It is absolutely beautiful. We experienced NO skin irritation from rosewood dust!
Best Uses
8 years ago I had this floor installed in my home office and it aged beautifully. Upon moving 3 1/2 years ago because I loved the floor in my office I had it installed in the living room, dining room, family room, foyer and upstairs hallway of our new house. It is still a beautiful floor but, without having restricted access like I had in my other house I've noticed that it dents and scratches easily. The scratches don't remove the finished they are more consistant with a dent than a scratch. I've learned to live with the dents/scratches while enjoying the overall beauty of the floors.
If you have large dogs you might want to select a floor that will not dent/scratch as easily as this wood.
Best Uses
A picture is worth a kiloword.
Best Uses
Use only Bellawood cleaner! This floor is still beautiful 6 years later. The only bad thing is that it darkens a lot over time! The finish is still perfect. I will buy from this company again because of the ultra durable finish!
Best Uses
Bolivian Rosewood is a deep, rich color. I plan on adding it to other rooms in the future.

Two Particle Elastic Collision Model
written by
Fu-Kwun Hwang and
Wolfgang Christian
edited by Robert Mohr
This interactive simulation allows students to explore two-dimensional elastic collision between hard disks in an isolated system. The user can modify the mass, position and velocity of each disk using sliders. Both disks are draggable, allowing students to set up one-dimensional and two-dimensional collisions. A checkbox option will pause the simulation at the moment of collision, and then display arrows showing the momenta of each disk immediately before AND after the collision. Red arrows depict the change in momentum resulting from the collision. The instructions explain how to set up equations to calculate both the total energy and total momentum of the system after the collision.
See related materials for a link to a simpler Easy Java Simulation that models a one-dimensional collision.
See Annotations for an editor-recommended tutorial on momentum and its conservation.

Who is Yasiel Puig?See the Dodger's hot prospect in this Yasiel Puig photo gallery
How Puig Got HerePuig was born in Cienfuegos, Cuba on Dec. 7, 1990. The story of how he developed as a baseball player and defected to America is incomplete. Here's some of what we do know: he began playing at age 9, was spotted at 17 by Dodgers scout Mike Brito at an under-18 tournament in Canada, and played baseball at the highest level in his native country before defecting to Cancun at age 20. Puig impressed scouts at a group workout in Mexico City last June and the Dodgers offered the most impressive contract, partly out of the need to show their renewed commitment to international talent. After batting .328 in 63 minor-league games, Puig was promoted to the Dodgers.
How to pronounce his name
Scouting ReportPotentially, Puig possesses all five baseball tools: The ability to hit for average, hit for power, run, throw, and field his position well. Of these, the only one he hasn't clearly demonstrated against major-league competition is the ability to field his position well, and that could be because he hasn't had enough time. Puig led all players with at least 50 at-bats in spring training with a .517 batting average. His .828 Cactus League slugging percentage was no fluke either; Puig belted two home runs in his second major-league game. The arm was strong enough to produce an outfield assist from the warning track Monday, an off-balance throw from right field that reached first baseman Adrian Gonzalez on the fly for a game-ending double play. The Dodgers clocked Puig as the fastest player in their major-league camp, though at 22 he must still learn how to use his speed. He's still rough around the edges in places, especially on the basepaths, which only makes him more compelling to watch.
2013 Minor League Stats Before Being Called Up
Watch: Puig's first two home runs
Watch: "The Throw"
Puig's Future in Los AngelesPuig might not be able to determine his own future in the Dodgers' outfield. That's because left fielder Carl Crawford (2017), center fielder Matt Kemp ('19) and right fielder Andre Ethier ('17, with an option for '18) are under long-term contracts. Of these, Ethier's five-year, $85 million contract looks the least tradable through the first two-plus months of 2013 - a small sample size. Yet the early returns on Puig in right field are so positive that the Dodgers might have no choice but to bench or trade Ethier, who doesn't hold a no-trade clause. That decision is currently delayed by hamstring injuries to Kemp and Crawford.
Any discussion of Puig's future requires an examination of the trade market for Ethier, a career .290 hitter who was batting .230 as of Wednesday. At 31, his value has never been lower. Since Ethier has been equally putrid facing lefties (.231/.271/.354) and righties (.230/.345/.349), platooning Puig and Ethier based on matchups seems less likely than it did at the beginning of the season.
Regardless, the Dodgers have Puig under contract through 2017. Some things are under Puig's control, like the ability to pull back in the outfield to avoid injuring himself (a la Bryce Harper) and his teammates. Puig must also obey the posted speed limits off the field, which was enough of a problem in Chattanooga to land him in jail. He seems to have quickly absorbed the major-league style of play, which is markedly different from Cuba's. Can Puig break out of his first slump? He did in Double-A, but the Dodgers might decide Puig needs more seasoning if he can't do it in the majors.
Fans Celebrate Puig's Arrival with Pun-ny Tweets
