Blank page to discuss tomorrow's match-ups.
Playoffs Thursday

I'll get things started.
Cabrera led the league in AVG, OBP, and doubles, and was second behind Bautista in SLG, OPS, and OPS+. Since MVP voters love taking into consideration whether a player helped their team get to the postseason, it'd seem like Cabrera would be a lock over guys like Bautista, Ellsbury, and Granderson. But I don't think he'll get it because he's been kind of overlook by the national media.

Sorry, I just realized this post wasn't about tomorrow's match-ups. So…
Go Tigers! I like our chances against the Yankees.
- September 29, 2011 at 12:39 pm
If you have to pick a position player from a team that made the playoffs, there is no doubt that it should be Cabrera. None of the Yankees, Rays or Rangers were close by any measure.
Arguments could be made for Ellsbury — who was part of an epic collapse, but contributes more defensively — or Bautista — who was slightly better offensively, but plays for a team that went nowhere.
Besides the fact that Cabrera surged late in the season after the MVP candidate list had been set in people's minds, he's also hurt by the fact a lot of his value comes from getting 108 walks. The headline numbers don't look as strong if you only consider BA, HR, RBI.
Of course, his chances are also hurt by the fact he may not even be the most valuable contributor on his own team…

I liked this article:
Tigers season filled with memorable moments, but here's top 10 – Tom Gage
I especially loved moments 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Any other great moments this season that people want to call out?
- September 29, 2011 at 5:34 pm
Hardly a great moment, but one of the most memorable moments of the season had to be Raburn's assisted home run.
- September 29, 2011 at 5:22 pm
Jason Beck surmising Perry, Pauley, Penny, and Santos on playoff roster, Worth, Rhymes, and Below out (based on peeking at which names are still up in the locker too
). Actual rosters not due until Friday 10:00 am.
Penny and Perry?? (groan…)
- September 29, 2011 at 5:38 pm
That should say "locker room" above. He doesn't mention Guillen either way; and there are 27 names up, including Boesch, who is definitely out. It should give you a good idea though (Worth has confirmed in a tweet that he is out).

The Tigers bit on the MLB network playoff preview was phenomenal. Gave me goosebumps.
- September 29, 2011 at 9:29 pm
tomorrow night's NYC weather – 58 degrees 30% chance of rain – Saturday's high is 65 with a 40% chance of rain. Rain delays can reek havoc on a starting rotation… and the yankees have better middle relief than DET.
Call me crazy, but i think the Tiger's chances increased by opening against the Yankees in the first round. Yankee stadium (and the yankee lineup) would likely shred the likes of Scherzer and Porcello, whereas Comerica should be a bit kinder to both of them. Needless to say the Tigers will have to win at least one (of the 1st two) in NY – and i think Verlander and Fister give the Tigers the best chance to accomplish this.
- September 30, 2011 at 4:28 am
If JV or Fister get rain-delayed out of a game early, I gotta imagine they'd treat it as a side-session in bullpen and bring 'em back on 2 days rest.
- September 30, 2011 at 7:59 am
What a Season and now what a Post Season! It is the morning before the first playoff game and I still can't believe we made it! What an August and September…come on October!
While you probably already heard it, my thoughts on the difference between 2010 and 2011 are:
A. Avila at Catcher…BTW what was the name of last year's catcher? Also note Leyland had Avila batting number 9 on opening day.
B. Peralta at Shortstop…not only a good bat but consistent fielding
C. Doug Fister….Number 5 becomes number 2
D. Delmon Young…Stronger consistent bat in the outfield
E. Better team chemistry and commitment.
As for Verlander being MVP, these days a normal good season for pticher is 15 wins. Take those nine extra wins and it is the difference in the Tigers winning the Central or being in an end of the season catfight with Cleveland. Also, winning promotes winning. Verlander's influence and leadership on the staff can't be measured but was certainly instrumental.
On a final note, in this five-game series it is typical to see the Yankees dominate the media with little promotion for Detroit or whatever team they are playing (except on the MLB channel). If the Tigers repeat the 2006 series with the Yankees, afterwards the media will talk about who messed up on the Yankees and won't give the Tigers any credit. Deal with it as it is the media standard blueprint (and we didn't get the memo)! Meanwhile, let's enjoy watching the Tigers quietly go about their business. This is where Leyland will earn his bucks in getting and keeping his team in the playoffs.
Enjoy the series as we all earned it.
Always a Tiger!
- September 30, 2011 at 10:49 am
Beck tweets: Tigers roster for Division Series is out. Porcello and @BradPenny are on it, as is Santos. Pauley, Below off. Will be on tigers.com shortly.
Thinking about issues like rain and extra innings leaves me ok with Penny making the team.
- September 30, 2011 at 10:50 am
You win. Bravo, sir.
- September 30, 2011 at 10:50 am
David Pauley left off the roster – Penny and Perry make it.
I was thinking Perry pitched himself off the playoff roster because of his game 162 performance, but I guess not. I hope we see both Penny and Perry pitch the 8th and 9th innings of game 3 after we are up 18-4.
- September 30, 2011 at 11:54 am
For anyone interested, here's a breakdown of C.C. Sabathia's performance against Tigers hitters. Gotta live Miggy hitting .563 against the Yankees ace. Also pleasantly surprised by Guillen's career numbers vs. C.C., especially considering how many times they've faced each other.
- September 30, 2011 at 12:40 pm
Also September upstart Ramon Santigo bats well against Crooked Cap!
BTW, Francona is out in Boston in a hastily decision. To keep it on topic, will his Sox go from Red to White next season?

The course will focus on employee benefit plans sponsored by private employers under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). ERISA governs a wide range of retirement and welfare benefit programs, including plans providing pension, profit-sharing, medical, and long-term disability benefits. Private employer benefit plans play an essential role in the U.S., providing benefits that are paid for by the government in many other developed nations. However, the role of benefit plans is now in flux, as shown by the demise of traditional pension plans and the new Affordable Care Act. Course topics will include fiduciary duties, ERISA preemption, minimum requirements for pension plans, 401(k) plan fee disclosure rules, upcoming changes under the Affordable Care Act, and remedies available under ERISA.

Grado SR 60i
Widely regarded as the top affordable headphone, the Grado SR60i is a superb choice for listeners seeking amazing sound at a great price. It's hard to imagine any music fan would be disappointed hearing these unassuming yet potent cans. The SR60i may look retro, but the performance is right up to date with a cheerful, balanced tone on both portable and home gear.
Read Stereophile's May 2010 Review by Jim Austin
Sorry, no Grado Labs product shipping outside USA due to manufacturer restrictions!
Product Features:
- For decades, a classic among music lovers wanting top sound at a great price
- Excellent efficiency perfect for computer use, iPod / MP3, and all audio players
- Solid build quality and replaceable earpads for long use lifespan
- Biggest seller in the entire Grado line!
- Proudly designed & made in Brooklyn USA
What's In The Box:
- Grado 'screw-on' 1/4" (6.3 mm) stereo plug adapter
- Grado Labs warranty insert
Long considered the headphone to beat in the competitive 'under-$80' category, the SR60i competes as "The Best Headphones Ever" at this price. These on-ear (supra-aural) open-back cans deliver a smooth, liquid-sounding midrange and engaging detail in the highs along with a clean, punchy bass response. The sole quibble is a slightly 'sparkly' sound in the uppermost treble ranges rather than the silky top-end of extremely well-extended -- and certainly MUCH pricier! -- audiophile headphones. A few customers mention that the foam earpad comfort can be a fit issue, but gently bending the headband to conform more closely to the top of the head helps alleviate that for most wearers. The style thing is another matter: use the SR60i with an uber-hip iPad or iPhone and you may be busted by the vigilant Fashionista Police. All kidding aside, this is a really enjoyable, musical headphone that almost every listener could appreciate -- and the price sure is right.
Like all Grado Labs headphones, the SR60i is an 'open' earcup design providing no isolation from outside ambient noise. By the same token, others could potentially hear "leakage" from open-back headphones when listening in quiet places or when someone's sitting nearby (i.e, libraries, workplace cubicles, late night listening, etc,.). Choose from our many closed/sealed-back headphones if listening privacy and isolation are needed for your particular situation.
A study in effective minimalist design, the Grado SR60i has a very basic flexible vinyl headband with simple metal height adjusters that connect the earpieces to the headband, thus allowing for up & down adjustment plus complete 360 degree earpiece rotation. This feature is ideal for laying the headphones down flat -- perfect for packing them in a briefcase or backpack. The SR-60i are very efficient & well-driven by portable players or inexpensive home equipment. The straight headphone cord measures roughly 7.5ft from the earcups to the plug tip, exits both earcups in a "Y" design, and terminates to a 1/8" (3.5mm) 'mini' plug. A 1/4" full-size stereo plug adapter handily comes provided with the SR60i cord. The free 1-year SR60i product warranty is directly handled exclusively by Grado Labs, the manufacturer, located in Brooklyn, NY only with your HeadRoom 'Grado authorized dealer' purchase receipt!
HeadRoom is now a fully authorized Grado headphone recable specialist! Please call us if interested in re-cabling your Grado headphones with our exclusive HeadRoom/Cardas 'Fat Pipe' upgraded headphone cord!

Posted by Xylin6 from Yuma,Az. on 2013-09-28
Recommend Product: Yes
Pros: Phenomenal Sound,Light Wieght,Retro Look
Cons: Cord design could use some improvement
What's funny is,when they first arrived (back in 2010),I was not at all blown away with the over all sound because I had only ever owned various less expensive headphones the majority of which had these fake forced bass frequencies which my ears had become accustomed to and also because the Grados didn't seem anywhere near as loud through my mp3 Walkman or my CD player as the less expensive phones I owned which baffled me at the time,but still,I was determined to give them a chance since I had read about the need to burn them in to get the best sound quality from them.
and what I discovered was that after roughly 100 hours of burn in not only did the sound quality keep improving,but the headphones cushions began to soften up and thus brought my ears closer to the drivers which added significantly more volume,by my second week listening to my SR60i's non stop I was telling everyone I knew (and sometimes complete strangers) to get a pair of SR60i's and when i went back and listened to my older headphones I couldn't believe how poor they sounded by comparison.
I have owned my SR60i's for three and a half years now and love them every bit as much,if not more than when i first got them,the sound is very warm and for the most part neutral and yet with the slightest adjustments of eq on my sony mp3 walkman they can reveal the most incredible bass prowess (specifically on electronic music) and still retain full clear forward sounding mid range and slightly rolled off highs (though not too much,in fact it makes them more forgiving on lesser quality mp3 files) , and they are perfect for any kind of music from classic rock to black metal to funk to jazz to techno to alternative rock.and if you do crave more sparkle in the higer registers then for another twenty dollars the SR80i (which i picked up a few months ago) are just what you need.strange thing is,I actually prefer my SR60i over the SR80i ,yet I love both.just remember that when they are first burning in you may experience some sibilance (at times almost piercing,though generally not) yet once they are burned in,you will rarely if ever experience that again.or at least this has been my experience both with the SR60i and SR80i.
my only complaint would be that over time because of the way the gimbles which hold the earphone cups rotate a full 360 degrees ,eventually the cables twist and inevitably you will begin to lose either the left or right channel. more often than not the cord becomes frayed at the Y connector (the plastic piece where it goes from a straight cord to the Y shape up to the right and left side) to prevent this some people actually glue the gimbles,although a much better idea is to go to a place like towerhobbies and order a 4pack of 1/8" plated wheel collars which slide onto the gimble(s) (one above the rod lock,one below it) and can be tightened using the included allen wrench with the small screws that are also included) thus preventing the gimbles from moving and cords twisting.
the good news is even if your wires start to cut out past the warranty date (as mine did),Grado will repair or replace the cords for you for only $25 (this includes the price of them shipping them back to you).so all in all Grados are not only the best bang for your buck sound quality wise,but are sold in America by a stand up family company.for all these reasons I cannot recommend these highly enough.best $79 i ever spent!

Sixteen Filipinos have been accounted for and four others are still missing since Algerian special forces stormed the plant on Saturday to end the siege, Foreign Affairs spokesman Raul Hernandez told reporters.
He said the information came from Algerian authorities, which expressed their condolences to the Philippine government and the victims' families.
"The deaths of the six Filipinos were a direct result of the hostage-taking incident in the area and mostly by gunshot wounds and the effects of the explosions," Hernandez said.
He said his office was notifying the families and arranging for the repatriation of the victims' remains, while the government was focused on finding the missing four Filipinos. A team from the Philippine Embassy in neighboring Libya, which covers Algeria, was on the ground in that country.
Four Filipino survivors were treated in a hospital in Algiers, Hernandez said.
Most of the workers were employed by Japanese companies, he said.
A total of 1,780 Filipinos work in Algeria. They are part of 10 million overseas workers, or 10 percent of the population employed abroad.

According to a Butte County Sheriff's Office press release, deputies were called just after 10 p.m. Monday to the reported robbery.
The gunmen reportedly held the three victims at gunpoint. One of the victims was bound during the robbery and two were pepper sprayed, according to the release.
The robbers were described as thin white males, wearing green camouflage jackets and green jeans. One of the males also had a blond goatee.
The robbers escaped the robbery scene before deputies arrived. The press release says the suspects were last seen driving away in a white cargo-style van.
Anyone with information regarding this case or the suspects is asked to call the Butte County Sheriff's Office at 538-7321.

Recently, there's been threads on the 2 hour marathon and the 4 minute mile.
That got me thinking (since the Doha meet ended!).
What "barriers" are possible, even if years in the future, in our lifetime (if you're, say, 60ish!)?
Here's a few I came up with, at random.
9.50 (Many think Bolt is the only one who could get it. Is the guy who runs 9.49 now in grade school?)
19.00 (I DO believe Bolt--or Blake--could go 18.99. But when?)
43.00 (It would take a guy who can do 200 in under 19.50.)
1:40.00 (Rudisha? Or one of the young 'uns?)
3:40.00 (For the mile. No one's been under 3:46 since 2001, but there's going to be....soon. It would take a 1:41 or 1:40 800 guy to do it.
12:30 and 26:00 5&10K (About 8 & 18 seconds need to be cut. Which 1500 guy will try it?)
7:45 SC (I skipped the 7:50 barrier, because I believe there's a Kenyan living now who will go under 7:50...soon!)
8 foot HJ (Okay, it's been done. But that was 20 years ago! Will it ever be done again?)
20-0 PV (See HJ.)
75-0 SP (And legally??)
Some relay barriers: 7:00 4X800, 14:20 4X1500 (3:35 avg), 15:20 4Xmile (3:50 avg), and the most difficult, the 9:00 DMR (2:45, 44, 1:42, 3:49??).
I'll do the women in a separate post.

So the states, Georgia mostly, went to court. After a convoluted series of decisions and appeals, Georgia got a ruling that metro Atlanta could draw water from Lake Lanier.
At that point Alabama and Florida turned to Congress, where senators from those states were able to add a provision to the 2013 Water Resources Development Act that said the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers would have to seek congressional approval if a municipality or industry's request for water changed the approved water-storage plans of a federal reservoir by 5 percent or more. Georgia's requests exceed the 5 percent.
Realizing this and not wanting Congress to get into the act, Georgia's senators went to work and got the provision removed. Senators from Alabama and Florida sought to get the provision restored. The U.S. Senate sided Wednesday with Georgia, voting 83-14 not to limit Georgia's water use from the two reservoirs.
In a joint statement, Georgia's senators stressed that they opposed the 5-percent plan because they "always believed that this dispute must be solved at the state level, not in Washington." They added that their version urges state leaders to negotiate.
In recent months, Georgia has shown little interest in a negotiated settlement. The 5 percent plan might have forced that state back to the bargaining table. Not adding it to the Water Resources Development Act leaves things as they are, and our neighbor to the east is certainly comfortable with that.
However, the status quo is not what is best for Alabama and Florida. That's why the better option — particularly for our state — was to have the 5 percent plan restored and approved.
It that had happened, it was possible the states could begin serious negotiations and end this water war once and for all. Now, we're not so sure.

Re: Dimensional analysis
Space is only 4D, if you compare 3D along a line with 4D. The space particles may be and should be 3D, since elseways it would change over time. All that is needed for space to be 3D, is that there are alot of equally 3D rooms that we travel through. That should ofcourse be "all mass is 4D lines that moves through a 3D room. If room and mass had equal dimensions, then room would be mass. But ofcourse, if you can explain mass as 5D, then there is no reason not to believe that room is 4D. But then we would still only be able to see one dimension as non spatial, since it requires max speed along a such in order for it to be contracted enough, and then we would have 4 room dimensions that were spatial, which is not the case.

Re: Dimensional analysis
No, there is a fourth dimension we normally can't see. This is what Einstein found and its the way that gravity works. When our earth travels around the sun, it's moving in a straight line, just as you would imagine a straight line on a piece of paper. However the space that's its traveling on is curved, and thus, the orbit looks curved. You can't curve three dimensional space without a fourth dimension.
"In the real world, this would be a problem. But in mathematics, we can just define a place where this problem doesn't exist. So we'll go ahead and do that now..."

Re: Dimensional analysis
So if you ate special monodirectional D4-capsules, you could travel along it? Sounds very desturbing. Else I am sad to tell you that such a coordinate must have a cause for its non spatialness, else it is spatial.

Ok, this was a bit off topic. You may continue analysing dimensions.

Director of British Trade & Cultural Office in Taiwan
Take the 3 minute survey This will open a short survey on another website
Our work in Taiwan contributes significantly to the UK's prosperity. Taiwan is the world's eighteenth largest trading economy. Its high-technology strengths and ongoing national investment programmes present benefits for UK companies.
Taiwan is also an excellent springboard into China for UK companies, as the market here is more developed and Taiwanese business has longstanding expertise working in China (Taiwan was second only to Hong Kong as China's fourth largest source of foreign direct investment (FDI) in 2012, with over 57% of China's total FDI, and there are around 80,000 Taiwanese companies located in China, accounting for 70% of China's electronics manufacturing).
UK companies have worked with Taiwanese partners to access the Chinese market. The UK is seen by Taiwan as a world leader in the creative industries, and cultural and educational links are thickening. (30% of all Taiwanese who study overseas do so in the UK). Following the 2009 lifting of the visa regime for visits of under 6 months, Taiwanese tourism to the UK has risen sharply.
One of the British Trade & Cultural Office's (BTCO's) main aims is to increase business relationships between the UK and Taiwan, working in partnership with UK Trade & Investment. The BTCO is publicises commercial opportunities through supporting and organising targeted events and visits.
There are approximately 300 UK companies located in Taiwan, across a variety of sectors. These include financial and business services, ICT, telecommunications, infrastructure, environmental technology, creative industries and marine industries.
Likewise, Taiwanese companies are realising the benefits of setting up in the UK, where they can source the world's best talent, products, services and technology. Currently over 180 Taiwanese companies have a presence in the UK and are using it as their base for global growth.
A guide sets out useful information for British residents, including registration, nationality advice, children and what to consider if you're returning to live in the UK after living in Taiwan.
Appointments are required for all services which can be made by visiting our Clickbook site. If you would like to report an emergency involving a British National, please call +886 2 8758 2088 at any time.
Visit our travel advice for Taiwan for information, news and updates, to ensure you stay safe, avoid problems, and make informed decisions when living or travelling abroad.
How to renew or replace your British passport when outside of the UK and information on getting replacement travel documents if your passport is lost or stolen.
For information on whether you require a visa for the United Kingdom and how to apply go to the UK Border Agency website
Information on how you can register a birth, death or marriage which occurred overseas, and legal documents for couples marrying or entering into civil partnerships abroad. The British Trade and Cultural Office is not an official embassy and cannot register marriages or civil partnerships. However, it acts as a post box for birth registrations. Birth registrations can only be paid for by a bankers draft, not in cash or by credit card.
List of funeral companies:
To get the information on how to get official confirmation that your UK document is genuine, so it can be accepted by the Taiwan authorities. The BTCO does not offer notary services. All UK documents for use in Taiwan, including marriage certificates, certificates of no impediment (aka single certificates) subject access reports (aka police reports) graduation certificates, etc. need to be stamped by a UK lawyer, then by the FCO Legalisation service, then by the Taiwan Representative Office in the UK.
Please note that inclusion in this list does not constitute official endorsement by the UK government.

Kernel Development Weather Forecast
The Linux Foundation now offers a page with information on current and planned kernel development dubbed the "Linux Weather Forecast".
The page lists and explains current kernel features. It also gives users a sneak preview of features which will be making their way into the official kernel, or the kernels of major distributions, in the future, and it provides links to sites with more details. The page's "Head Meteorologist" is Jonathan Corbet, the editor in chief of commercial Linux news service provider, LWN.
Readers of Kerneltrap.org or LWN will probably be familiar with the content of the page, according to a comment by US online journal Ars Technica. The target audience is Linux users who already possess basic knowledge of underlying kernel technologies, but do not subscribe to mailing lists or other information services to keep up to date with kernel development.

New or Old?
Every so often a friend, peer, or family member would ask me "I want to buy a bike, should I buy new or used?" The short answer is whichever is a safer investment but how one determines what is a better investment can depend on various factors. I'll take the opportunity to discuss to pros and cons as well as some helpful tips on buying your first, third or fifth bike.
Buying New:
Maybe it's time to retire your old clunker in pursuit of something just a bit more road worthy or you're just getting into commuting, either way buying a new bike may be a better option over purchasing a used one.
-Quality: The bike you buy at an LBS will usually be brand new (unless otherwise mentioned) and built up and inspected by a qualified mechanic before you roll it out the shop. Having a qualified person make sure your bike is mechanically sound avoids costly repairs in the future and any potential accidents that may occur from mechanical failure.
-Variety: Your LBS will have a large assortment of different bikes in different styles to match your needs. Whether you're investing money in a road bike for charity rides or if you want a hybrid for commuting chances are they will have something for you. If you aren't sure on what type of bike is appropriate for you or your needs don't hesitate to ask.
If you found the right brand/model/style of bike you want you can count on your LBS to have it in an assortment of sizes and colours to suit you. An ill fitted bike can lead to discomfort and an unpleasant ride. Sales folks at your LBS can be helpful in identifying what is the ideal size and fit on your bike so you can feel comfortable in the long haul.
-Extras: LBS not only want you to buy a bike from them but to continue shopping there so it's natural to get some perks in purchasing a bike from them. Usually buying a bike from a LBS will include free tune ups as well as discounts in accessories such as lights, bells and locks. Always be sure to check with the sales person to see if there are any discounts or whether or not the bike comes with any warranty or tune ups.
Buying Used:
For those on a budget or those wanting to buy an older bike such as a vintage cruiser or a classic steel mountain bike then buying used may be the way to go. Deals are to be had in buying used but there is always the risk of buying a stolen bike or a dud. It's important to inspect the bike thoroughly and shop with diligence to get the most out of your money.
-Price: Arguably the main point in buying a used bike is the price. Used bikes can easily drop 20% of more of the retail value depending on age and condition, but there are risks that should be taken into consideration. Do some homework on the specific bike you are buying beforehand; check what the retail value is and check to see if any changes were made to it such as replacing of parts for better (or worse) ones. If you think the price is too good to be true, maybe it is. The bike may be stolen or may have a major mechanical problem that may not be evident at first glance so be vigilant and don't hesitate to trust your gut instincts.
-Quality/Condition: Older bikes are great to use since they are usually cheaper and are less attractive to bike thieves. In addition, a lot of them use simple components that are easy to maintain and cheap to replace making these bikes desirable to commuting. On the flip side, these bikes have been sitting around for ages so they may not work as well as they used to. Ask the seller to test ride the bike and take the time to fully inspect what you can. Perform the ABCs on the bike to make sure you can pedal, shift gears and brake safely. Check to see if the seat post can actually be adjusted and hasn't seized to the frame. Some sellers are upfront about any issues and some may try to hide it so buy with diligence and ask questions.
Personally, I love used bikes. If you know how to haggle and have a hand for wrenching then you can save some money if you are willing to take sometime to do your own handy work. I've had good experiences buying old bikes as some just needed very simple work like inflating tires and oiling the chain and I've also had some bad experiences with bikes requiring far more extensive work than they are worth.
I bought this bike last year, with the replacement parts I put about $250 on it. It was in great condition right off the bat and I was able to ride all over Ontario with it on charity rides and some light touring.
I bought this bike last winter, with replacement parts it cost me $180 but it has had a LOT of problems with it. The shifter broke so I've run it as a single speed bike, the bearings in the hubs and pedals needed to be overhauled and the seat post it came with was the wrong size for the frame.
If you do decide to buy a used bike be sure to bring it into a bike shop for an inspection/tune up just to be safe. Don't forget to register it with Toronto Police and most importantly, have fun riding it.

I am writing this at the James Cancer Center in Columbus on the campus of Ohio State Universtiy. My wife receives treatment and follow-up vistits at this great treatment and research university.
Some of the money raised through Lance Armstrong's foundation has both directly and indirectly benefited this university in the fight against this terrible disease.
For all the lies, cheating and terrible stories of Lance's career, millions and millions of donated funds keep up the continued fight to eliminate this disease from the planet.
Lance has used his fame and fortune for some good things, too. Let's not forget this fact.

She was the victim of a trumped up story in which the caller impersonated a lawyer who said that her grandson had been arrested in Canada and needed $500.
She followed directions to wire the money to a Niagara Falls address in Canada, and never told anyone.
Several weeks later, her son discovered the loss when he was reviewing her financial records.

Herbalism is an approach to health and healing that addresses not only the discomfort of disease but the concept of wellness. Herbs are used as natural alternatives to over-the-counter and prescription medicines. Herbs can be used as medicine in many forms: they can be dried or used fresh and made into capsules, extracts, herbal teas, oil infusions, salves and ointments, and tinctures.
The people at Shining Mountain Herbs, a farm located just south of Ridgway, are specialists in high-quality, high-altitude herbs and herbal products. The farm is family-owned and operated. All planting, cultivation, harvesting, and processing are done by hand. The farm is at an altitude of 7,000 feet. They grow 50 different herbs, comprising approximately 80 percent of the herbs used in their products.
When we visited Shining Mountain Herbs owner Sheila Manzagol showed us around the farm. Shining Mountain has two greenhouses, a mini-greenhouse and a large one. Inside the greenhouses we watered, planted and helped harvest salad greens. We really liked the children's paintings in the greenhouse, especially all the peace signs!
We also got to press an echinacea tincture. A tincture is made out of alcohol, water and herbs. The chopped herbs had soaked for two weeks in the alcohol and water, and then we helped press the mixture using a hydraulic press. We labeled bottles with the labeling machine, which runs off of compressed air. That was really neat. Visiting Shining Mountain Herbs was a very interesting learning experience.

Without looking at the attic it is very hard to tell if you can start removing wall studs. That said one stud should not have any effect on the home's assembly but only someone familar with framing or an engineer can tell for sure.
I was taught a trick from an old timer years back that involves using the "Saws-all" as a guide. You cut through the stud slowly and if the weight above bears down on your tool blade you stop and fix. If the tool cuts clean through with no binding there is little chance any load is there now. This does not mean that when your roof has 2' of snow that stud does nothing for the home's mechanics.
Most point loads will be supported by multiple studs ie: 2- 2"x6"'s 3-2"x4"'s or more so if you expose the stud and find only one you should be alright.
Do you have anyone that can peak into the attic for you and look?
