GSD Acclimatizes To Warfare
Friends! Lend me your ears please. I'm talking about something regarding Alsatians in wars. Alsatians played a real vital role in the wars, although other breeds such as Airedale terriers, Rottweilers, Collies, Lurchers, Giant Schanuzers, Bull Terriers etc. were also trained to become used to gunfire and bangs of exploding grenades and shells. Training up the war dogs was as important as giving guidance for loading of rifles and hitting the target.
Dogs – especially GSDs used to be the invaluable assets to the European regiment in World War I. The funny thing is that the services of dogs were not appreciated during the early years of the World War I. But they started to gain high respect when it was realized that dogs can accomplish great things. With the demand rising high, the War Office had put forward an appeal before the dog shelters and dog owners to give their dogs for war training. To meet the ever rising demand for a true courageous, intelligent and powerful breed of dogs, an incredible number of 48,000 Alsatians were enlisted with the German war force. The saddest part of the story is that many GSDs(apart from these 48,000 dogs) were forcibly taken from their owners. The time was really hard for the dogs and their owners but they would have to suffer times more harsh if they hadn't been enrolled in armies. It was becoming increasingly tough for the owners to feed their dearest companions with the progressive wars. Major (later Colonel) James Baldwin served the army by training dogs for the war. He used to teach dogs "Wind Scenting".
Jet of Iada (Picture in the right)
Jet of Iada was a famous GSD, who became the first wartime search & rescue dog in the world. Jet marked a name of his own and became an example of a perfect Alsatian with accurate degree of smelling instinct. His mind blowing ability of scenting victims out of the rubble and debris of destroyed buildings set Jet apart from the rest.
World War 2 pioneer Search & Rescue dog awarded the Dickin Medal (the canine equivalent of the Victoria Cross) to Jet for his stand out service of saving a lady who was buried in the debris on the top floor of a blitzed building in Chelsea. Jet was also awarded the RSPCA "Medallion For Valour" after he saved a rescue team from a falling rock while searching for victims at William Pit Coal Mine disaster at Whitehaven, Cambria.
Alsatian dogs were also desperately used in the Vietnam War. The US soldiers used their basic smelling instincts of the pure bred GSDs to search for the tunnels and detect the smell of the guerrillas. Nemo was the first hero GSD of his kind to return from the Vietnam War. Nemo returned to US with honors, as the first sentry dog who was officially retired from his active service.

VERNON -- Vernon police have accused a nurse practitioner who ran a family practice of trying to recruit a patient and her daughters to be his sex slaves.
A warrant that unsealed in Superior Court in Rockville on Tuesday says 44-year-old Jay T. Mohler-Avery of Hartford allegedly tried to take delivery of the patient's 18-month-old daughter so he could sexually assault her.
The Hartford Courant reports that Mohler-Avery is jailed on charges of attempted sexual assault, conspiracy to commit sexual assault and other allegations.
An unidentified woman said Mohler-Avery expressed an interest in her 18-month-old daughter, asking her to bring the infant to him so he could "break her in early."
It wasn't known Wednesday morning if he's represented by a lawyer.
Mohler-Avery also was charged with larceny and insurance fraud for allegedly billing Medicaid without providing services.

- Duchy
A duchy is a territory, fief, or domain ruled by a duke or duchess.
Some duchies were sovereign in areas that would become unified realms only during the Modern era (such as Germany and Italy). In contrast, others were subordinate districts of those kingdoms that unified either partially or completely during the Medieval era (such as England, France, and Spain). The term is used almost exclusively about Europe.
For the history of duchies as an institution, see the entry on Duke.
Traditionally, a grand duchy, such as Luxembourg, was generally independent and sovereign. Sovereign duchies were common in the Holy Roman Empire and German-speaking areas.
In France, a number of duchies existed in the medieval period. Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom still claims the medieval French title of Duke of Normandy, and this provides the legal status of the Channel Islands as Crown Dependencies. Other important French duchies included Burgundy, Brittany, and Aquitaine.
The mediæval German Stem duchies (German: Stammesherzogtum, literally "tribal duchy") were associated with the Frankish Kingdom and corresponded with the areas of settlement of the major Germanic tribes. They formed the nuclei of the major feudal states that comprised the Holy Roman Empire of the German nation. These were Schwaben, Bayern and Sachsen in pre-Carolingian times, to which Franken and Lothringen were added in post-Carolingian times. Such a duke was titled Herzog.
In medieval England, the territories of Lancashire and Cornwall were made duchies, with certain powers accruing to their dukes. The Duchy of Lancaster was created in 1351 but became merged with the Crown when, in 1399, the duke, Henry Bolingbroke ascended the throne of England as Henry IV. Nowadays the Duchy of Lancaster always belongs to the sovereign and its revenue is the Privy Purse. The Duchy of Cornwall was created in 1337 and held successively by the dukes of Cornwall who were also heirs to the throne. Nowadays the Duchy of Cornwall belongs to the sovereign's heir apparent, if any: it reverts to the Crown in the absence of an heir apparent, and is automatically conferred to the heir apparent upon birth. These duchies today have lost their political role (although there is an ongoing dispute over the status of Cornwall), but generate their holders' private income. During the Wars of the Roses, the Duke of York made a successful entry into the City of York, by merely claiming no harm and that it was his right to possess "his duchy of York".[1] Any and all feudal duchies that made up the patchwork of England have since been absorbed within the Royal Family. Other than Cornwall and Lancaster, British royal dukedoms are titular and do not include land holdings. Non-royal dukedoms are associated with ducal property, but this is meant as the duke's private property, with no other feudal privileges attached.
In more recent times territorial duchies have become rare; most dukedoms conferred in the last few centuries have been of a purely symbolic character (see Duke). No independent duchy exists today, except for Luxembourg, which is an independent country formally called a grand duchy.

Projected against a shop window in New York, Sniff is a 3D animated dog. He's just a computer-generated rendering, sure, but he's got personality—he reacts to your gestures, follows you around, and presented with a group, chooses favorites.
The sidewalk in front of the store has been fitted with small infrared lights, and the installation with infrared cameras; this is how Sniff, an art project designed by Karolina Sobecka and Jim George, knows where its audience is, and can anticipate which direction they're moving.
Some might see a playful interactive exhibit here, but I see something more insidious. Walking by confused, platter-eyed puppies every once in a while is a part of city life—each time you do it, you make an easy—but still present—decision not to buy that dog that evidently loves you more than anything, for some reason. With Sniff, you don't have a choice: he seems to like you, but you physically can't take him home; likewise, there no risk that your walkby buddy is going to get incinerated at a shelter, because he isn't real. Technology, you've stolen the richness from our relationships to dogs that aren't ours. Thanks. [Sniff via Urlesque via Neatorama]

A skin biopsy removes cells or skin samples from the surface of your body. The sample taken from a skin biopsy is examined to provide information about your medical condition. A doctor uses a skin biopsy to diagnose or rule out certain skin conditions and diseases.
Three main types of skin biopsies are:
A skin biopsy is used to diagnose or rule out skin conditions and diseases. It may also be used to remove skin lesions.
A skin biopsy may be necessary to diagnose or to help treat skin conditions and diseases, including:
A skin biopsy is a generally safe procedure, but complications can occur, including:
Before the skin biopsy, tell your doctor if you:
Depending on the location of the skin biopsy, you may be asked to undress and change into a clean gown. A doctor or nurse then cleans the area of the skin to be biopsied. Your skin may be marked with a surgical marker or marking pen to outline the biopsy area.
You then receive a local anesthetic to numb the biopsy site. This is usually given by injection with a thin needle. The numbing medication can cause a burning sensation in the skin for a few seconds. Afterward, the biopsy site is numb and you shouldn't feel any pain or discomfort during the skin biopsy.
What you can expect during your skin biopsy depends on the type of biopsy you'll undergo.
A skin biopsy typically takes about 15 minutes total, including the preparation time, dressing the wound and instructions for at-home care.
Your doctor may instruct you to keep the bandage over the biopsy site until the next day. Occasionally, the biopsy site bleeds after you leave the doctor's office. This is more likely in people taking blood-thinning medications. If this occurs, apply direct pressure to the wound for 10 to 20 minutes. If bleeding continues, contact your health care provider.
All biopsies cause a small scar. Some people develop a prominent, raised scar. The risk of this is increased when a biopsy is done on the neck or upper torso, such as the back or chest. Initially, the scar will be pink and then fade to white or sometimes brown. Scars fade gradually. The scar's permanent color will be evident one or two years after the biopsy.
Try not to bump the biopsy site area or do activities that might stretch the skin. Stretching the skin could cause the wound to bleed or enlarge the scar.
Healing of the wound can take several weeks, but is usually complete within two months. Wounds on legs and feet tend to heal slower than those on other areas of the body.
How to care for the biopsy site while it heals:
Continue caring for the biopsy site until the stitches are removed. For shave biopsies that don't require stitches, continue wound care until the skin is healed.
After the biopsy procedure, your doctor sends the sample to a laboratory for testing. Depending on the skin condition, type of biopsy and the laboratory procedures, results may take several days or a couple of weeks. Results of biopsies for metabolic or genetic testing can take several months or more.
Your doctor may schedule an office appointment to discuss the results of the test. If possible, bring along a family member or friend. It can be difficult to absorb all the information provided during an appointment. The person who accompanies you may remember something that you forgot or missed.
Write down questions that you want to ask your doctor. Don't be afraid to ask questions or to speak up when you don't understand something. Questions you may want to ask include:

PHILADELPHIA -- Rockies All-Star outfielder Carlos Gonzalez could begin swinging a bat Wednesday, as he works his way back from a sprained right middle finger which has kept him off the field since Aug. 4.
Gonzalez originally suffered the injury on July 7, and he had two other flareups before finally going on the disabled list. MRI results confirmed the sprain, which is defined as a slight tear of a ligament. The ligament can't fully heal until he has total rest, like he will in the offseason, but the time on the disabled list could promote some healing and leave him at less risk for reinjury after returning.
"He's getting better, but we knew the situation -- his finger is not going to be 100 percent at any time for the rest of the year," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "It's something we'll have to deal with when he comes back, but hopefully it's something that's calmed down."
Gonzalez, who is hitting .302 and leading the team in home runs with 26 and RBIs with 70, is most at risk when chasing low-and-outside pitches from a left-handed pitcher. Weiss said he will consider resting Gonzalez against lefties, but beyond that, there isn't much he can do to prevent the odd swing that causes pain.
Rookie Corey Dickerson (.318, 2 HR, 8 RBIs) and Charlie Blackmon (.259, 3 HR, 9 RBIs) have been primary outfield fill-ins.

Up until now, Motorola Droid RAZR owners have got a taste of Ice Cream Sandwich thanks to quite a few leaked ICS firmware. Owners of the fatter sibling of the RAZR, the Droid Bionic, patiently waited for their turn and silently regretted purchasing the Bionic.
Anyways, someone over at Motorola has finally rewarded the Droid Bionic owners with an Ice Cream Sandwich firmware leak for their handset. Early flashers of the build report the performance of the ROM to be "buttery smooth". Apart from this, the ICS build looks pretty similar to the early Droid RAZR leaks. The leaked firmware might not be the final ICS update for Bionic owners, but it is pretty darn close. Motorola, unlike Samsung, has also kept ICS relatively Blur-free, except for some colored icons.
There is a strong possibility that Motorola will start rolling out the Ice Cream Sandwich update for Droid RAZR/RAZR MAXX owners on June 27th. Droid Bionic owners should expect to get their fair share of Ice Cream Sandwichlove soon after.

text: Sensorless Brushless DC Motor Drive December 18, 2012, 04:15:10 pm Hi Everyone,I thought that I would share my project on the forum. I call it BLDC Booster. It is a booster pack for the MSP430 LaunchPad that allows for sensored or sensorless control of a brushless DC motor. It is open source hardware & firmware under Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike license. I designed the PCB in Design Spark and prototyped fabs at iTead. Currently I have the first prototypes and motors are spinning using my alpha firmware and custom GUI written in Python+QT. For slower motors, I think that it works pretty decent but currently I'm having some difficulty spinning high Kv motors under no load conditions due to my PWM method (unipolar) and slow ADC sample rate (20 kHz). Moving forward, I see not technical reason why I cannot leverage the full sample rate of the MSP430, just need more time to iron out the code. Also in version 2 I added current feedback via a lowside shunt resistor and TI INA199.My current scheme for sensorless commutation is using BEMF integration and flux thresholding based on the theory of operation for TI's InstaSpin technology however my libraries are 100% written from scratch because the InstaSpin code does not port well to the Value Line series of MSP430's and is somewhat closed. My source is licensed under BSD so everyone is welcome to hack away. All files are available on github. There's still a lot of work to do on the firmware side but I'm pretty happy with the hardware. Currently I have a few more v1 boards on hand but just ordered 50 of the v2 fabs which I plan on building up on Jan 9th with my friend who owns a CM service. I'd like to offer them for sale and was thinking that I would ship them USPS to anyone in the US for $35. I do have a connection with a motor vendor in China that if there is sufficient interest, we could do a order. Baseline motor would cost an additional $9. Contact me if you are interested.Some pictures attached, more info is on github. Looking for feedback on the design and anyone interested in helping out with code development. Ian's comments are always welcome and by the way, nice interview on theamphour it is my inspiration for sharing this design on the forum.-Luke Last Edit: January 01, 1970, 01:00:00 am by Guest

Today is the day I start making my epic journey via PT Cruiser across the United States. Most of my stuff has already been sent ahead. I still have to get together the junk that remains in the house and figure out how to shove it all in the car. Suffice it to say, I really, seriously do not have the time today to write a blog post and really, serously should be doing a whole butt-load of other far more pressing things.
BUT there were 279 comments last time I looked under a posting about a couple clips from a movie shot in Akron in the early 80s. Those of you looking at this on Facebook can go to http://hardcorezen.blogspot.com if you want to see what I'm referring to. Personally, I think it's a big waste of time, so I don't recommend bothering with it.
But in the midst of all this, Gniz, a frequent and often contentious contributor to the comments section, asked the following question:
"People like watching the drama, the soap operas (including me, I'm sorry to admit). I would be curious about your take on why we are SO drawn to these things....I've written about it from my perspective, but it might make a good blog post sometime when you get a free minute!"
This is, of course, the real key question. The specifics of the various arguments going on in the comments section are incredibly trivial. I'm not even sure precisely what is under dispute. But, then again, I have not had the time or the inclination to read the comments in detail. I made a single observation somewhere around comment 210 or so that the whole thing was utterly inappropriate for this blog, though it would be very appropriate on a different internet forum where such things are apparently not permissible to discuss. That is all I have to say about the specifics of the arguments.
But gossip itself is very interesting. If I had time I'd go look this up. But I don't, so I won't. But there is a piece of writing by Dogen that I was introduced to very early on in my practice that gives a list of rules for monks. I was fascinated by the fact that one of the rules was not to gossip. This was right up there with don't kill and don't steal and all that -- if memory serves (and it probably does not). (I may even have included this in Sit Down And Shut Up, I can't remember)
I just finished this very interesting book called The Red Queen, all about the evolution of human sexuality. Or, more specifically, how sexuality has influenced our evolution. Among other things, the author postulates that the human brain may have developed in part as a very efficient gossip processing machine. Meaning, there are areas of the brain that may be specifically geared towards receiving and creating gossip.
The reason for this is that we are highly social animals. Our interaction with our society is key to our survival. Those among our ancestors who were among the biggest gossip-mongers left more descendants and we have inherited this. That's why we love all those magazines and TV shows about celebrity scandals, and also why we are such avid consumers of fiction. Fiction satisfies our need for gossip to a great degree (though, obviously not completely).
From a Buddhist standpoint, following various soap operas and what not that involve other people is a terrific way to ignore what's going on within ourselves. We ignore the crucial matter of examining our own shit by examining and commenting upon other people's shit. In terms of practice, this is a shameful waste of precious time and energy, of which we do not have infinite amounts to waste (sorry, bad grammar, writing fast).
Ultimately what all of this gossip is, is just our brains running through their various programs. That's what they're built to do, so it can't really be helped all that much. But we don't need to play with it and wallow in it. To do so is a bit like scratching a wound instead of leaving it alone to heal as it should. This, I suspect, is why Dogen thought it was so important to avoid.
And that's all I got time for. I suspect the drama in the comments section will not subside for a while. But for the time being I am sticking with my policy of not censoring anything or even screening the comments before they go up. You're free to discuss whatever you like in whatever tone you wish. I'll be on the road for the coming week and unable to even look in on them very often even if I were interested.

WSO2 has launched version 3.0 of its WSO2 Web Services Application Server (WSAS). The re-architected open source WSAS 3.0 is now based on WSO2 Carbon, the industry's first fully componentized service-oriented architecture (SOA) framework.
The componentized WSO2 WSAS 3.0 offers flexibility for configuring SOAs. Developers can separate the administration console logic from the service hosting engine of WSAS 3.0, making it possible to use a single front-end server to administer several back-end servers simultaneously. Additionally, developers can add any other WSO2 Carbon SOA components to their WSAS 3.0 instance with plug-and-play, eliminating the typical cost and complexity of integration.
Version 3.0 builds on the proven performance of WSO2 WSAS, the first application server to support the full XML-based WS-* stack and REST in a simple, lightweight model that makes it easier to develop, deploy, manage, and monitor Web services. The completely open source, enterprise-ready WSAS 3.0 is based on Apache Axis2, one of the world's fastest Java Web services engines. With more than 3000 transactions per second on a dual-core system, the highly tuned WSAS 3.0 runs four to five times faster than Axis1.
In WSO2 WSAS 3.0, the server framework has been re-architected as the core Carbon framework that provides not only WSAS 3.0, but all other Carbon-based products, with enterprise-class management, security, clustering, logging, statistics, tracing, and a Try-It wizard. Based on the OSGi standard and using the Eclipse Equinox engine, the WSO2 Carbon framework enables a composable server architecture. WSO2 WSAS also uses the graphical unified management console, which supports all Carbon components and provides enhanced administration.
Other enhancements in WSO2 WSAS 3.0 are:
- XSLT-to-XQuery transformation for Java and Data Services is provided through the ability plug in the ESB mediation pack, simplifying the creation of standard services.
- Enhanced administration user interface, offering a more logical and easy-to-use configuration model.
- WS-Policy Editor to configure services using the W3C standard.
- Improved support for Active Directory, allowing administrators to integrate WSO2 WSAS into existing user management infrastructure.

Infrared (IR) temperature sensors emit an infrared energy beam focused by a lens on to a surface to detect the surface temperature. The reflected beam is received back in the sensor which converts the energy to an electrical signal that can be displayed in units of temperature. The sensor compensates for ambient temperature variation to give an accurate temperature reading.
Measuring Different Surface Materials
Painted surfaces, paper, thick plastics, food, water, asphalt, rubber and wood all have a high emissivity, these materials can be measured easily using general purpose sensors with a fixed emissivity setting.
Sensors with an adjustable emissivity setting allow fine-tuning of the measurement accuracy for use on partially reflective materials such as metals.

Clement cut, Phils @ Jays pregame
Wow, just got back into the pressbox after about a five-minute long sneezing fit. The A/C in here was up a tad high I think. I haven't had a prolonged sneeze attack like that in a looong time. Man am I glad it's over.
But, enough about me…
The Jays sent Matt Clement and Curtis Thigpen — no surprises there — back to Minor League camp. Clement is going to talk to his agent and discuss whether he should accept a Triple-A assignment. As for Thigpen, it's not clear what's next. Could be a backup in Double-A with playing time at multiple spots.
Here's what GM J.P. Ricciardi had to say on Clement:
"The only thing we can do is if a guy goes down and pitches well they get the opportunity to come back to the big leagues. But, we can't give you any assurance that we're going to call you up to the big leagues. It's all based on performance.
"I think Matt is getting better. Every time out, he gets a little better and I think he owes it to himself to go down for a couple more months and give himself a real legit shot. He's coming back from something major and I think he's made major strides.
"But, right now, we don't think he can make our big league club — right now. That doesn't mean in June he might be more equipped to do that. He's definitely got to pitch somewhere. He likes it here. He likes the guys that are here and he likes Arnsberg.
"He's in a good situation, we know him. We just think he needs a little more time and we're willing to give him that time. It's up to him if he wants to take advantage of it."
Travis Snider is back in the lineup, Marco Scutaro is as well, but Lyle Overbay was sent home with the flu. Overbay took part in morning BP and fielding drills. Minus Overbay, the lineup is probably pretty darn close to what you'll see come Opening Day.
Beyond Clement and Thigpen, the Jays also returned Brian Burres, Randy Ruiz and Angel Sanchez to Minors camp. With Thigpen gone, it's down to Michael Barrett and Raul Chavez for the backup jobs — Barrett in the lead. With Clement out, it's down to Scott Richmond, Brad Mills and Ricky Romero for the Nos. 4-5 starting jobs. I still say it'll be Richmond and Mills… we'll see.
Today's lineups:
Jimmy Rollins, SS
Shane Victorino, CF
Chase Utley, 2B
Ryan Howard, 1B
Jayson Werth, RF
Raul Ibanez, LF
Pedrio Feliz, 3B
Chris Coste, DH

Nice to see the 'A' lineup (minus Overbay) out there for a game. But seeing the lineup put together like this, there is one major issue that jumps out right away – Scutaro as lead off. I realize we don't have a legit lead off guy, but i'd rather see them flip one and two around and let Hill lead off. If Hill has an even average season, he'll have a higher BA and OBP than Scutaro. Then Scutaro can be utilized to move Hill up a base.
I know Hill isn't an ideal lead off guy, but better suited than Scutaro in my opinion.
The only true option we have at leadoff is Alex Rios. He really can be a 30/30 guy. But I think the only way we can afford to push him into the leadoff spot is if snider is really ready to produce. Then this is what I would put out there:
Split up the lefty/righties.
I dont like Rios at the top. I can see the arguments for it, but I would rather have him in a spot he can produce runs as well as score them. Especially if he finally lives up to his full potential he can be a huge threat in the middle of the order. He has the ability to lead the american league (or at least top 5) in total bases with his speed and power. Scutaro is a solid player, I think he is really underrated. His stats don't jump out at you but he does alot of things right. He can lay down a bunt, move runners along little things like that.
From the boxscore of the game Wells stole 3rd base. Thats a good sign. Hopefully he is healthy.
To me the lineup shows multiple weaknesses. Lead-off is probably the most noticeable, but Wells is not a 4th hole hitter, he should be batting 6th. we're weaK in lead-off, the 4th and 5th hole.
Rios is excellent in the 3rd spot and should permantly stay there, as should Hill in the 2nd hole. We need big bonkers for the 4th and 5th spots-which should probably be our 1st and 3rd base guys.
To work with what he's got, Cito has little option but to put Scutaro in lead-off, although I'd also like to see us try Overbay there against a rh once in a while.
I agree, Scutaro is a quality player, and he did an amazing job filling in last year when needed, in fact he was one bright spot in a very disappointing season for the Jays. However, the things you point out, laying down a bunt, and moving runners along, make him a better number two hitter, not lead off.
I know it may not sound this way, but I am a fan of Scutaro….I just don't like him at the top of the line up.
Nice outing from Purcey against a very strong lineup. 5 hits, 2 bb's, 2 k's and 1 unearned run through 5 innings to lower his st era to 1.10. Gotta like that.
Guess I posted too quickly. Purcey went back out for the 6th and gave up a hr. but still turned in a very good outing, with only 1 earned run.
Ryan is starting to concern me, he doesn't have his control back and I believe his velocity is still below what it was pre-operation.
Ryan has now pitched in 6 games, 5 innings, 6 bb's, 5 k's, 6 hits, 6 runs.
it gets even worse. I read today that Ryan was in the mid 80's. I agree with you about the lineup, especially with leadoff being the weakest point. I'd say the best fit is as you mentioned Overbay against righties but maybe go with Scutaro or Rios against lefties. Either way it's not a strong point.
Any word on why Shawn Hill chose San Diego ? all things being equal I can't understand why he wouldn't want a chance to pitch for a team that is a 30 minute drive away from his birth place. Only thing I can think of is that J.P. was as interested as he let on.
Mid 80's is below where he was last year when he came back. Maybe he didn't work as hard this off-season as he did coming back from the injury-who knows. It might also explain all the walks, maybe he's trying to paint it too fine and missing. One way or the other mid 80's
is a problem.
Don't know about Shawn Hill, maybe San Diego offered more dollars if he made the team or maybe JP was simply lying like he was on Pudge.
I think JP knows he's gone as soon as the new Pres. comes on board and he's simply marking time. I hope Beeston decides to keep the job and start making the changes we need to compete-including dumping JP.
If we are going to compete in 2010, the changes need to be made soon.
Just to correct my last sentence above, I meant WASN'T as interested as he let on.
As for the dollars, you may be right about that.
Joe Koshansky-1st baseman, of the Colorado Springs Sky Sox (AAA affiliate of the rockies) was optioned back to AAA last night, apparently because the Rockies are enamored with veteran Todd Helton, who has blocked Joe's entry to MLB for at least the last couple of years.
Koshansky did last year was hit .300/ 31 hr.'s and 121 rbi's in 122 games. He's been the PCL all star two years in a row, and has been the all star 1st baseman virtually at each minor league level in his career.
He would make a wonderful addition to the Blue Jays. Paul Beeston, make the call.
Shawn Hill stands a better chance to go right into the rotation in SD. I read it in trade rumors.
It looks like the Jays missed a chance to get rid of Ryan this Winter, now what do they do with him, he can't seem to find his fastball anymore, I for one think he is done. just think what they could do with his 20mm for the next 2 seasons.
If the pitchen holds together this year, i think this team will surprise us this year, just look at the way these guys are hitting this spring, our offence just may be wicked and our defence is solid.
I hope you're wrong about Ryan, if you're right it is a major problem-no question.
I'd be surprised if our young pitchers didn't struggle from time to time, they will all take their turn at brilliance and disaster like all young pitchers do.
But if we remain patient with them and keep sending them back out there, like we did with Marcum and McGowan, we will be in good shape for 2010 or 2011.
I think the offense is going to depend on how well Rolen, Wells and Overbay play and whether we remain injury free or not. Having Hill back is a big plus, BUT we need power production from these 3 guys to remain competitive.
I agree with you G.S. though I am not as worried about Wells. I think the guys that have to step up the most are Overbay and Rolen. At the very least if they have good seasons they can be used as trade bait at the deadline.
Garry thank you for clearing that up, I did check out the Padres rotation and it is pretty thin after Peavy. Especially compared to the Jays, so it makes sense in the regard. Still though to pass up a chance of pitching for your hometown team and instead go to a 99 loss one would take alot of thought if it were me.
Millar will give us the punch at first base, I think Overbay will be gone by the trade deadline.
Wells i think will be very good this year, that big contract has made him rethink himself.
I think Rolen will be fine too.
Hill is a plus.
09 will be a great year where we get to watch a lot of young players, 10 and 11 will be even better.
Price down to AAA. Too bad the Jays don't play the Rays until end of June. He'll be back up and in mid-season form by then.
Don't worry rene our youn guns will be just as good.
didn't we have a great bullpen without ryan the last few years – i seem to remember league, downs, carlson and accardo holding the fort pretty well.
Yes we did and they can do it again.
Kate you still alive.
Hey bosoxbrian I had a heart attack 3 weeks ago but I'm okay now, but i just had a thought if i had died i could have watched the Jays on a hundred foot screen in heaven, but if i went to hell do you think they would have made me watch the sox over and over and over.lol.
rene-I agree with you on Price.
Garry, our young pitchers are not in the same class as Price-he's the next Santana. And no, the Sox aren't that bad this year that they're going to hell. lol
tan-agreed, we did, but I wouldn't want to see the jays have to eat Ryans contract-that would be the issue.
Brett Cecil and David Price had comparable stats last season. Brett was even a year younger. Now im not a scout or anything and Im sure there is good reason Price is ranked 2nd best prospect in baseball. But just by looking at numbers I don't think Cecil is getting enough credit for what he did. I'd definatly say Cecil could be in the same class when everything is said and done.
Garry ,
I am still around , I read the blog and check out the games (gs hasn't scared me away yet ….lol….) I am sorry to hear that you had an attack . How are you and your wife doing ? I hope the two of you are taking it easy and wish you a speedy recovery. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Ryan is a concern. With everything I have read, I am beginning to wonder if he is injured or had a set back . I agree , I wouldn't want the Jays to have to eat his salary . Jays have far too many injuries to pitchers . Ryan, Marcum, McGowan, League, Accardo, Jassen all in the last couple years , something needs changing in their training program . I hope Doc's struggles from his last couple of games are due to him working on a pitch / technique and not something else
Janssen not Jassen, sorry about that
Kate I'm fine now but my wifes arm is not heald yet we will know know more in two weeks and thanks for your concern.
Maybe Ryan will come back but the reason I think they should have traded him this Winter is if this team is not sopposed to go anywhere this year why carry him, why not trade him and save the money.,We will know for sure about Doc after his next start, If he is hurting he may not say so and try to work it out after all he is a gamer.
I am now going to agree with denoit on Cecil.
Enigma go to trade rumors and read about Hill maybe the Jays missed out after all.

NEA spends $15 million on public campaign to elect education champions
First wave of TV ads airs this week in key federal races
WASHINGTON - October 06, 2010 -
To draw attention to candidates who support public schools, NEA and its political action committees have launched a $15 million independent campaign involving television and radio ads to elect education champions in several key federal races.
The first round of TV ads began airing today in Arizona's 5th Congressional District, where U.S. Rep. Harry Mitchell, a former high school teacher, is running for re-election. Television ads also began airing this week in Ohio's 13th Congressional District in support of another education leader seeking re-election, U.S. Rep. Betty Sutton. Television and radio ads are planned for several other federal races across the country leading up to Election Day.
"It's about informing voters and helping them make the right choice," said Karen M. White, the director of NEA's Campaigns and Elections Department. "This current Congress has made a record investment in children and public schools. Are we going to continue to head in the right direction by electing champions to Capitol Hill who will keep fighting for public education, or are we going to vote in people who want to dramatically slash education funding and give tax breaks to millionaires and companies that ship our jobs overseas?"
The independent campaign also includes mailings to voters in other important House and Senate races urging them to support pro-public education candidates. Close to 75,000 pieces of mail went out today to voters in North Carolina's 8th Congressional District, which is home to U.S. Rep. Larry Kissell, a former social studies teacher who is seeking re-election to the House. More mailings are planned for other federal races where there is a clear pro-public education standout.
"The elections are less than a month away. We've got to get the word out about who the real public education champions are and what voters need to do to get them elected," said White. "With the No Child Left Behind Act up for re-authorization, the next Congress will play a significant role in determining whether this nation will move forward to make sure that all children have access to great public schools."
The NEA Fund for Children and Public Education is the largest national political action committee working to elect pro-public education candidates to Congress and the presidency.

What is the most valuable thing you know?
Capturing, modeling, and contextualizing complex knowledge and business insight
We help experts make their thinking tangible so that others can apply this vital know-how.
Knowledge Harvesting is a rigorous, results-driven process for capturing and transferring vital scientific, engineering, technical, and business insights and complex cognitive processes.
Knowledge Harvesting is used to convert the know-how in an expert's head into information assets that can be used to dramatically improve corporate performance, competitiveness and valuation. In addition, the organization is protected from expensive personnel losses and defections, and from the unavailability of expertise when and where it is needed.

'Joy and tears' as Hasan found guilty
FT. HOOD, Texas -- Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan was convicted Friday on all 45 charges of premeditated and attempted premeditated murder in the shooting rampage at this central Texas Army post four years ago, the deadliest attack on a domestic U.S. military base.
The former Army psychiatrist now faces a possible death sentence.
The military jury of 13 officers deliberated about six hours on the case, ending a two-week trial in which Hasan represented himself, admitted to the shooting and largely declined to present a defense.
Prosecutors argued that the radical religious beliefs of Hasan, an American-born Muslim, led him to attack deploying soldiers. Witnesses testified that he shouted "Allahu akbar," or "God is great" in Arabic, before he opened fire at a medical processing center.
The shooting on Nov. 5, 2009, left 13 dead and more than 30 wounded, many of whom testified about the carnage during the court-martial. Hasan, 42, faced 13 charges of premeditated murder and 32 charges of attempted premeditated murder.
The same jury that convicted Hasan will sentence him, with pre-sentencing hearings set to begin on Monday. In order for Hasan to receive the death penalty, the jury's vote on that punishment must be unanimous. Relatives of those killed in the shootings are expected to testify at the hearings.
Before the jury delivered the guilty verdicts Friday, a few tense minutes of anticipation gripped the courtroom.
The military judge, Col. Tara Osborn, cautioned those in the audience "to keep the proper decorum and show the respect for the judicial system and for the court," acknowledging that a verdict "can provoke powerful emotions."
She told those in the gallery -- including victims' relatives -- to leave if they could not resist showing signs of "agreement or disagreement with the panel's findings."
Everyone stayed.
The bailiff called jury back at 12:34 p.m. CDT
"Has the panel reached its findings?" Osborn asked.
The jury president, or foreman, a female colonel and the highest-ranking member of the group, replied: "Yes ma'am."
She handed the findings to the judge, who then handed them back for her to read at 12:35 p.m.
Hasan stared at the colonel as she read the charges.
"Nidal Malik Hasan, the panel has reached by a unanimous vote a verdict of guilty," she said.
Hasan remained impassive as the verdict was read, then looked down.
Victims' relatives sitting in three rows of the gallery remained quiet as the verdict was read. Afterward, there were small signs of emotion -- one placed a hand on another's shoulder, another slipped on sunglasses to hide her tears. Many had tears in their eyes as they left court.
Kimberly Munley, a Ft. Hood police sergeant who was wounded when she traded gunfire with Hasan and who testified during the trial, tweeted her joy at the verdict.
"So overwhelmed with joy and tears!!!! ... God Bless the victims in their strength," Munley wrote.
Munley and other victims have sued the government in federal court in an attempt to classify the attack as terrorism. An attorney representing them released a statement calling the verdict "only a first, small step down the path of justice for the victims."
"The terrorist Hasan's conviction and sentencing is only the beginning, not the end of this story," Reed Rubinstein said, "Justice for the victims of Fort Hood will be done only when the government admits its mistakes, keeps its promises to 'make the victims whole' and comes clean about Ft. Hood. The victims, and the American people, are owed nothing less."
Later Friday, Sen. John Cornyn of Texas released a statement siding with the victims.
"The victims and families have had to wait for far too long for today's decision, but I hope they can take some relief in today's outcome," the Republican lawmaker said, adding that "we must turn our attention to ensuring that the victims of this horrible tragedy and their families receive the full honors and benefits bestowed upon soldiers who are wounded or killed in overseas combat zones."
Texas Gov. Rick Perry said in statement that "this guilty verdict affirms we are a nation of laws, honors the victims of this heinous act, and proves that, even in the face of unspeakable tragedy, we will never waver from the core principles for which they gave their lives: freedom, liberty and democracy."
Retired Army Sgt. Howard Ray, 33, of Killeen, who received an Army Commendation Medal for carrying nine people to safety during the shootings, said he was pleased with the verdict but eager to see Hasan sentenced to death.
He also said he's glad some victims will be able to speak directly to Hasan and "have the last say."
"What's important for us to focus on is the sentencing," Ray said. "Hopefully we'll be able to get justice then as well."
[For the record: 7:53 p.m., Aug. 23: An earlier version of this post incorrectly quoted the jury president, or foreman, announcing the jury's verdict. The correct quote is "Nidal Malik Hasan, the panel has reached by a unanimous vote a verdict of guilty."]

Is there biblical evidence to support the statement that baptism is required before partaking in communion?
Good question. I think you might begin here: under the Old Covenant, you had to be circumcised in order to be able to partake of the Passover meal. Exodus 12:48 says "If a stranger shall sojourn with you and would keep the Passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised. Then he may come near and keep it; he shall be as a native of the land. But no uncircumcised person shall eat of it."
The New Testament describes Christ as our Passover Lamb (1 Cor 5:7). The Lord's Supper is both a memorial of his sacrifice as our Passover Lamb, and a means of grace by which we partake of Christ's body and blood (1 Cor. 10:16). Now, since Baptism replaces circumcision as a sign of the covenant, the sign of our being admitted into that covenant and united to Christ (Col. 2:9-12), though it is not necessary to salvation (the thief on the cross was not baptized) it is a sign we are commanded to receive. Disobedience to Christ in this area is a sin and Paul warns us in 1 Corinthians 11 that we are not to come in an unworthy condition to the Lord's table (1 Cor 11:27). Therefore Baptism would then be seen as a requirement for all who would partake of communion.
More simply, why would you not want to be baptized? Is it shame for being identified or joined to Christ, a desire to not confess him? If that is so, why would you want to come to the Lord's Supper?
I hope this helps you in your thinking.
"Questions and Answers" is a weekly feature of the OPC website. The answers come from individual ministers in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church expressing their own convictions and do not necessarily represent an "official" position of the Church, especially in areas where the Standards of the Church (the Scriptures and the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms) are silent.
The questions come from individuals like yourself. If you have questions about biblical and theological matters, you are invited to send them by e-mail by using the "Pose a Question" link on the OPC home page or by clicking here.
At least one new question is posted each week, so there should always be something new here for you to read. (For those people who would like to look at previous questions and answers, they will continue to be available as well.)
The purpose of the OPC website's "Questions and Answers" is to respond to biblical and theological questions. Matters of church discipline, disputes, or debates go beyond the scope of our work. We recommend that you present your concerns in these areas to the appropriate judicatory. In most cases this will be to a local pastor, elder, or session. We do not want the website to replace personal involvement in, or commitment to, the local, visible church.
While we will respond to every serious questioner, we are not bound to give a substantive answer to every question, should we deem the question to be beyond the scope of our purpose or our own ability to answer.
You will receive an answer by e-mail. Please be patient as many of our respondents are busy pastors. The response to your question may take up to two (2) weeks. Some of the questions submitted will be chosen to be posted here, along with the corresponding answers.
Note that the "Questions and Answers" posted on the site have been editedall personal references are removed, Scripture references or from some source may be added, and sometimes portions are expandedto make the questions and answers more useful to a larger audience.

If you're particularly paranoid about someone peeping your computer's password while working in a public place, Japanese researchers have come up with a clever solution to the problem. Instead of using your laptop's keyboard, you use an on-screen pin pad to type your password. But the cursor movement is completely obfuscated by a swarm of other randomly moving cursors.
The user is able to track their own cursor because it perfectly matches the movements of their mouse or fingers on a trackpad. During testing the researchers found that with five cursors moving about, onlookers were able to figure out the password about half the time. But with 20 cursors buzzing around, 99 percent of the time it was impossible to track what the user was inputting. Not even a three card monte master would have a chance with this system.

They say cat owners don't take their pets to the Vets as much as dog owners. I must be the exception.
I think my two cats have changed roles. The older, resident cat, was the dominant one when I brought my kitty home. I think the roles have reversed...I don't know if this is a reason, but my older cat is not himself. He has lost considerable weight...I can feel his spinal bones. He was always a fat cat...he's not anymore. He is only about 2 years old. I quarantined him yesterday to the bathroom and gave him his own litter box and canned food and water. He didn't touch any of it. He's lethargic, he moans and never moves from his spot. Very unlike him.
So I made an appt. with the vet and taking him tomorrow. I have no idea what could be wrong.:(
Hawkgirl ...
I am by no means a cat expert, but ... have had several cats in my lifetime.
Some, much like humans, have anger and jealousy issues, and will show it in different ways.
Am glad that you are taking him to the vet first, you can't lose by doing this.
My 2 cents, for what it is worth ... don't isolate the 2 year old, he is the one that seems to need attention the most from you at the moment.

I had a cat that stopped eating. Stopped drinking water. Stopped going to the bathroom. She got very dehydrated. I knew something was wrong after she missed a couple of meals because I figure cats have relatively tiny stomachs, so they must eat regularly. She would just sit by me doing nothing. I took her to the vet. Turned out she had some kind of kidney failure. So ... I lost her. She was only about 6 years old.
I felt so bad because there was nothing I could do. I certainly hope yours is not suffering a similar fate.
Liberalism is just communism sold by the drink.
Hope your cat is alright when she goes to the vet. I know nothing about cats, so can only wish you well.

Well it doesn't look like anything serious. He has an upper respiratory infection. So the vet is keeping him overnight and going to give him IV fluids and a shot of antibiotics. He is going to do a blood test to make sure there are no organ systemic issues. I get those results in the morning. He had an xray and it didn't show any masses or lesions. He was also tested for FIV and feline leukemia and they both came out negative as well.
I go pick him tomorrow and hopefully the blood test is negative.

And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
He'll probably claw you good for all your concern...Kats are ebil.
JUST KIDDING!!!!!:DMay the FORCE be with you!
My daughter's cat had a similar problem. The vet said it was allergic to fleas. We changed it's pest treatment and it is doing fine. I hope yous will be ok.

We finally lost our Puddy after a long battle with Diabetes. I never knew cats could get it. He went from a 15 pounder to a bone thin skinbag within days. Monitoring blood sugar for a cat is difficult. He needed injections daily. I didn't know what to look for and felt terrible for his suffering when I finally had him diagnosed. The first thing I noticed was he drank tons of water and peed like a horse. I took his litter box out to clean it and it was extremely heavy. When I told my neighbors all this, they suggested diabetes.
I hope yours doesn't have the same problem.:(Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil.
