As the state scrambles to beef up treatment options for heroin users following a recent surge in overdoses, some doctors worry that new legislation could actually leave many addicts in the lurch.
"As written, this could dramatically reduce access to care for patients," Dr. Jacquelyn Starer, president of the Massachusetts Society of Addiction Medicine, said of a proposed bill that seeks to put more oversight on doctors prescribing the heroin treatment drug buprenorphine.
Buprenorphine, commonly known as "bupe," is the main ingredient in the drug Suboxone, which is hailed by many doctors and patients as revolutionary.
Unlike other methods of treatment, including methadone, "bupe" is what's called a "partial agonist." It doesn't give addicts a high, reducing the possibility of life-threatening overdoses.
Approved in 2002, Suboxone was the first drug addicts could have prescribed by a doctor in an office. That appealed to many addicts from suburban or professional backgrounds - people who didn't want the stigma of attending methadone clinics, which require daily oral treatment.
"I am without a doubt certain that if I didn't have Suboxone, I would be dead today," "Maryann," a retirement-aged recovering addict from Worcester told The Daily News Wednesday at her doctor's office in Natick.
That's why Starer and other doctors say they're concerned about House Bill 907, a measure that would charge the Department of Public Health with instituting strict regulations and procedures overseeing private doctors who dispense the drug.
"It just complicates everything," Starer said of the legislation, which has already passed the state Senate and is in a third reading in the House.
The bill would give the DPH latitude to determine the level of regulation needed – something Starer and other doctors believe could ultimately curtail the availability of Suboxone.
"Most doctors, if it's just a small part of their practice, will say, 'That's not worth it to me,'" said Starer, noting doctors are already regulated by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency and are restricted to 100 patients.
Starer said if some doctors pull out of the business, that could create a shortage of prescribers – a devastating prospect for people who aren't willing to go to methadone clinics.
"There would be more people without treatment, and the state would have a larger problem," Starer said.
As it stands, Massachusetts already has a shortage of inpatient treatment beds, experts say, and state funding for treatment, despite recent increases, still isn't keeping up with demand.
According to the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Massachusetts in 2011 had more people treated for heroin addiction than for alcoholism. Massachusetts was one of only two states in the 48-state survey to report such rampant problems with heroin addiciton.
In 2012, 42,308 people in Massachusetts were admitted for heroin abuse treatment, more than the number admitted for alcoholism, cocaine and marijuana addiction combined.
According to the Administration website, there are 602 doctors and 72 treatment programs in the state that administer "bupe."
Twenty-four of those doctors are in the MetroWest and Milford areas, the records show, with Spectrum Health Systems operating the only two treatment centers.
While Framingham has the highest number of doctors prescribing the drug – seven - providers are sprinkled throughout the region, including Southborough, Wayland and Weston.
"It's an epidemic," said psychiatrist Richard Goldbaum, one of five doctors licensed to prescribe the drug in Natick.
Tucked into a modest building on Pine Street, Golbaum's patients – professionals, parents, nurses – all want to keep their addictions private.
"Maryann" is one of his patients. She has struggled with heroin addiction since she first tried opium as a single mother of two in the late 1960s.
"I wound up on Back Bay on a street corner passing a bottle of wine around," she said, prostituting to get her next fix.
Family took away her kids. It took her years to get clean, and when she did, she married and got a steady job. But she relapsed in 2000, and didn't end up recovering until she found Goldbaum and Suboxone in 2005.
"Now I can babysit my grandkids," she said. " I have my life back."
While Suboxone is primarily prescribed in private, methadone – a different heroin treatment that's been around much longer – is administered daily in clinics.
Spectrum Health Services Inc., a nonprofit, provides the largest number of treatment options in this area, with locations in Framingham, Westborough and Milford.
Kristin Nolan, the company's executive director of outpatient services, said Spectrum provides both methadone and Suboxone.
She said the average outpatient treatment cost $5,500 out-of-pocket for a user per year for those with insurance. Those who can't afford to pay aren't turned away, she said, as their treatment costs are reimbursed by the state.
The state is also increasingly burdened with treatment demand through Section 35, a provision that allows family members of an individual with an addiction to have that person involuntarily committed by a judge to an addiction center on the state's dime.
"People are really at a loss when they get to this point," said Kerri Quintal, a North Attleboro attorney who has assisted families in Section 35 commitments for more than 15 years.
Quintal said though the idea seems like a cheap way to get treatment, it can backfire.
"There's only so many spots," she said, and sometimes a bed can't be found.
The state maintains less than 200 beds for people committed under the section, which causes addicts sometimes to be sent to jail if a bed isn't available.
Released Wednesday, the House Ways and Means budget would add 64 treatment beds statewide. While that will help, some experts say the most important arena that needs improvement is psychiatric care for those with addictions.
'The one thing I think is the common of all recovered addicts is they have a psychological component of care," said Mark Kinchla, director of substance abuse for the South Middlesex Opportunity Council. "There is some relationship they've established with a caregiver that is important to them. They feel valued."
Starer agreed, saying she believes responsible outpatient treatment reduces the need for inpatient beds. That's why she said she and other organizations – including the Massachusetts Medical Society – oppose the House bill to increase regulation of Suboxone prescribers.
Golbaum said he believes state legislators, instead of going after Suboxone doctors, should work to curb over-prescription of opioid pain medications like Percoset and Oxycontin.
It's addiction to those medications, he said, that often leads people to try heroin for the first time, and can lead to death if they come across a strain laced with fentanyl, a painkiller 10 times as strong as morphine.
Starer said insurance is also a concern because those people sometimes wait months for treatment because of backwards referral requirements.
"It needs to be considered a medical emergency when somebody wants to get treatment," she said.
State Sen. Ben Downing, who brought forth the Suboxone bill, said Thursday he is aware of the concerns and is working with the Society of Addiction Medicine and other opponents to address them.
The Pittsfield Democrat said some increased level of oversight is needed, noting that one unscrupulous prescriber in his district led to Suboxone being used "everywhere," including in schools.
"I think unfortunately, some have seen it simply as a way to make a quick buck, or have not fully understood the need to support the drug treatment with other services," he said.
Downing said he will work to modify the bill so it has more widespread support. He said it is not his intention to decrease the number of doctors legitimately prescribing Suboxone.
"We're trying to come up with solutions on the fly," he said. "I think we all hope we'd had these solutions in place four or five years ago, but we're going to have to work together."

I have probably views 1,000 Census Images over the past two weeks and that doesn't include the 2,300 images that I have looked at in the Indexing Project.
I have been cleaning up my Census records working my way back through my file.
This evening I was looking at the 1900 Census for Waltham, Middlesex County, Massachusetts. I have seen the record in 2008, when I found my grandmother listed in that record. BUT, I didn't really LOOK at it. I captured the data, but didn't really look at the Census Record.
The head of the household is Rachel Carroll Allen, my great, great grandmother, along with my grandmother. She would have 13 at the time. What I missed was the 3rd person in the household. A Lodger, Bessie C Stanley. Ms. Stanley worked at the Waltham watch factory, according to her occupation.
Why is Rachel's parents not listed? Well, Rachel's mother had died in 1893, and her father was killed in 1896. Both worked at that same watch factory.
So, who is this Ms. Stanley?
I haven't found the answer for sure, in black and white, yet, but the hint is in my great-grandfather's obituary:
Waltham Daily Tribune, Waltham, Mass. Friday Evening, July 24, 1896 (page 1)
Rider Killed
Herbert Johnston Was Crushed Under Runaway
Was Learning to Cycle
Lack of experience on the machine was partly responsible for his fall.
A sad accident occurred on High street yesterday afternoon by which Herbert Johnston, a well known employee at the American Watch factory, lost his life. Mr. Johnston was a novice at the art of cycling, and had engaged a wheel for this week to learn to ride. Yesterday morning at about 11:30 he was riding along High street below the Comet Factory.
A horse belonging to F.E. Stanley, proprietor of the Stanley Dry Plate Company, and driven by his hired man, was coming along the road from Newton, when it became unmanageable and ran away, throwing the driver out. The horse ran wildly up High Street and coming behind Mr. Johnston, who was unable to avoid it, threw him from his wheel, and he was struck in the head by the horse's hoof. Mr. Johnston was picked up and carried to the Waltham Hospital, where he died about one o'clock. His remains were immediately turned over to Undertaker Goodnow, and the medical examiner summoned.
Dr. Meade examined the remains, and pronounced the death to be caused by a fracture of the skull, causing concussion of the brain..
Mr. Johnston who is a widower lived at 112 Myrtle street with his child and his mother. He was a member of Waltham Lodge A. O. U. W. All members of the Order are urgently requested to meat at A.O.U.W. hall Saturday at 2:15 p. m. to attend the funeral of our late brother H. J. Johnston. Wear dark clothes and white gloves. A. H. Rand, Recorder.
I think the Bessie C Stanley, may be a sibling or the Stanley brothers. I don't know this for sure, but from what I have been able to determine, the Stanley's took care of my grandmother following this unfortunate accident.
This article mentions the same house that is reflected in the 1900 Census.
This is that house. Unfortunately, when I took my parents to see the house in 2003, it was gone.
Rachel Carroll Allen's father was born in Ireland, according to the Census Record. According to some family letters, "Parish of Drum, Town of Borrisoleigh County of Tipperary, Ireland"

There are similar attractions in Hamburg, Bochum, Stuttgart, Münster, Mannheim and Nuremberg.
The Zeiss Planetarium in Jena may be the world's oldest continuously operating planetarium, with nearly 100 years of service behind it, but its cutting-edge technology continues to amaze thousands of visitors every year. For ages 5+, there is a specially tailored programme.
When the moon is out of sight and the twinkling sky appears close enough to touch, who hasn't dreamed of travelling to the stars? The Zeiss Planetarium in Jena is perfect for star-gazers who rarely get the chance to indulge their passion. Here, they can not only look at the stars, but also learn about the history of the universe, the individual planets and the 'weather conditions' in space – all from the on-site astronomers. Take your place on one of the 240 comfortable seats in the domed theatre and let the panoramic laser projections whisk you away into the expanses of outer space. Images from six projectors cover the entire 900m² surface of the dome. Besides the night sky, the projections also include pictures, videos and 3D animations. The programmes shown in the dome range from traditional tours of the stars with live commentary on space and the history of space exploration through to multimedia music and laser shows. When fixed stars, planets, distant galaxies and even the phenomena of the universe such as the Milky Way appear on the domed ceiling, it's a true sight to behold. The planetarium's programme of educational, cultural and family-friendly events and activities is not to be missed.
A trip to the Zeiss Planetarium in Jena provides a memorable day out for all the family. Nowhere can you get closer to the night sky – no matter what the weather or time of year. There is also a special children's programme, which gives younger visitors the chance to gaze in wonder at the starry sky above Jena, learn the basics about the stars, meet Lars the little polar bear and the rainbow fish, or hear the story of the star of Bethlehem. The new 3D sound system, the world's first permanent installation for digital media technology in a planetarium dome, offers an unparalleled acoustic experience. The shows at Jena Planetarium are also second to none and make for a memorable cultural experience alongside the 'tour of space' and the many other astronomy-themed programmes. Stars as far as the eye can see, colourful planets and bright clusters of heavenly bodies take your imagination to distant galaxies that no human is ever likely to reach. And the next time you look up at the sky, you will see it through very different eyes.

Contributor's code will be incorporated by the Point of Contact from the NWChem Core Developer Team. This is the main mechanism for external users to contribute developments or enhancements to NWChem.
New potential developers can contact members of the NWChem Core Developer Team directly or "apply" through the NWChem web site. Prospective developers will be discussed and assigned developer access by the NWChem Core Developer Team, Before contributions from this new developer can be incorporated into NWChem, this person will have to provide written feedback that the contributions can be released within NWChem under a ECL 2.0 open-source license. A (Trusted) Developer will receive the appropriate access to svn. If a Developer consistently incorporates code changes that negatively affect the development tree, access to svn can be revoked.
Development Contribution Requirements
All new functionality or capability contributions require:
- Proper documentation in the user manual
- QA Test Cases that adequately test the added functionality
Proposed new modules and tasks, and their impact on existing modules and functionality need to be documented for review. New modules or tasks will require agreement from the full NWChem Core Developer Team before they can be added.
Programming Model
The programming model in is based on modular APIs. NWChem consists of the programming languages:
- FORTRAN77 and FORTRAN90. For FORTRAN90, please avoid using allocates and deallocates. Dynamic memory access should be performed using the memory access (MA) layer.
- C and C++. Only simple constructs should be used in C++.
- Memory Allocation will be done through the MA and GA memory infrastructure.
- Global Arrays Toolkit and MPI for parallel programming.
- OpenMP directives and CUDA/OpenCL.
- Python scripts can be uploaded into the contrib directory. Bindings to additional functionality require QA and documentation.
Testing of development version
- Code will be build nightly on a Redhat Linux64 Platform using gfortran and gcc.
- Code will be tested nightly against QA suite.
- Exhaustive coverage analysis of the QA suite will be performed twice a year.

A few days ago Stanczyk put forth his framework for discussing Polish genealogy, by enumerating the various eras of the many territories that had ever come under the aegis of a Polish nation of some kind of government. This blog tends to a focus upon "Polish" genealogy … in the greater ecumenical, greater geographic and greater ethnicity sense. As I said, when you start upon Polish genealogy, "they" always say you need to learn about the three partitions of Poland. "They" mean the partitions imposed by the neighboring empires: Prussia, Austria, and Russia in the years, 1772, 1793, and 1795.
Over the years the phrase, "The Fourth Partition" has come to mean any annexation/occupation of Polish territories by outside nations. The years are long and getting longer still day by day. So the Fourth Partition can now be used to mean any of a good many events in history. But today I wanted to speak about Napoleon.
I have written with some fondness on the little, French, coffee drinking Emperor. What I most liked about him (besides the coffee drinking) was the suffrage and enfranchisement that he was able to bring about AND the fact that Codex Napoleon specified in detail how vital records were to be recorded and all of us genealogists benefited from his wisdom. The Emperor had held out the hope of restoring the Polish condition, but alas, he used Poland as his pawn for his own ambitions, so Poland would languish for more than a century longer after Napoleon was ultimately defeated.
However, whilst Napoleon was having his madcap adventure upon the European continent, he inadvertently, partitioned "Poland" a fourth time. As a result of Napoleon's early military victories, he was able to wrest wide swaths of Polish lands and fashion out a French protectorate, he named, The Duchy of Warsaw (notice he did not call it Poland). He carved this duchy out of territories on which the three Empires: Prussia, Austria, and Russia had previously partitioned three times already. So in effect, Napoleon manifested a Fourth Partition that lasted for the years 1807-1815, until the treaty of the Congress of Vienna in 1815 which broke the Duchy of Warsaw up into the Cracovian Republic and Congess Kingdom of Poland (under the hegemony of the Russian Empire). The CracovianRepublic was an independent city-state and included Krakow and some lands surrounding Krakow and this land was not returned to the Austrian Partition, called Galicia until it was folded into Austrian-Poland's Galicia Crownland in 1846 after much upheaval in the 31 years of the CracowRepublic's lifetime.
Stanczyk had never seen a map showing the original three partitions and then juxtaposing the Duchy of Warsaw (less the CracowRepublic) upon those areas. So I took an existing map and created a new map to see what it must have looked like. So today's blog is about the Fourth Partition (by Napoleon) and the resulting map. This jester would like to mention that the 8 years of the Duchy of Warsaw existence had negated the three Empires' resolution to never have Poland reappear. Of course, after World War I Poland (2nd Republic) did reappear (and after World War II and in 1989 after throwing off the yoke of the Soviet Union, giving rise to the 3rd Republic). Enjoy the map!

Dynamic parallelism, or the ability to initiate kernel launches from the CUDA device, is an important evolutionary step in the CUDA software development platform. With it, developers can perform variable amounts of work based on divide-and-conquer algorithms and in-memory data structures such as trees and graphs entirely on the GPU without host intervention. The variable nature of dynamic parallelism means that GPU applications can easily consume varying amounts of memory and generate inconstant amounts of data for later computational processing.
This article provides working code for a general-purpose massively parallel data structure,
MappedTypeArray, that has the ability to accept variable numbers of results from dynamic algorithms and act as a fast
malloc() method that can very quickly hand out items from a pre-allocated array of arbitrary type. Such a data structure requires: a fast, massively parallel counter that will not serialize execution when many parallel threads attempt to perform an increment at the same time, and the ability to create and utilize generic C++ objects transparently on both the host and device. The allocated memory and stack can be utilized on the host, which means this data structure runs well on multicore processors as well.
A massively parallel stack requires a robust low-wait counter; specifically, a
ParallelCounter class (see Atomic Operations and Low-Wait Algorithms in CUDA) that preserves parallel performance even when every thread attempts to increment a single counter at the same time. It also needs the
SHADOW_MACRO() GPU object management macro, which allows generic, standard layout C++ objects to move transparently between the host and device. C++ type trait methods are a means to ensure that C++ objects are usable on both the host and device. In particular, the
SHADOW_MACRO() implementation is designed to preserve the lowest common denominator standard layout for compatibility with C structures. C programmers should be able to utilize the capabilities of this C++ code by wrapping a C-callable functional interface around specific objects (example wrappers are not provided).
As I've mentioned in the previous articles in this series, NVIDIA is moving to a unified virtual environment where objects and object pointers are transparently accessible from both host and GPU devices. This article will use mapped memory to simplify the handling of pointers shared between the host and device for object creation and post-processing. Mapped memory does present a performance problem because it is not currently cached (as of CUDA-5). The heavy reuse of data in a mapped object can result in a two orders-of-magnitude loss of CUDA performance. This article gets around such poor performance by using mapped memory only for linear traversals during object creation and results reporting. Using this technique, the
MappedTypeArrayclass in the example code exhibits high performance while enabling the creation and use of extremely complex tree and graph objects on both the host and GPU. More adventurous readers may wish modify the example code to convert mapped memory into high-speed device memory, either through their own code or through the use of the
A Motivating Example
The general-purpose CUDA memory allocator accessed via
cudaMalloc() and
cudaFree() is designed to service requests for arbitrarily sized memory regions. For many problems, a simpler memory allocator that manages only constant sized memory regions can be both significantly faster and preserve high degrees of parallelism in a massively parallel environment.
Listing One shows the need for the
MappedTypeArray class by illustrating the cost of allocating 1 million individual objects, as opposed to a single block allocation of a million objects. The speed of the bulk allocation can be exploited by the
Listing One: Complete source for testMalloc.cu.
#include <iostream> using namespace std; #include <cstdio> #define MAX_ELEMENTS 2000000 __device__ void *ara1; __global__ void performBlockAlloc(int nElements, int sizeofElement) { ara1 = malloc(nElements * sizeofElement); } __device__ void *ara2[MAX_ELEMENTS]; __global__ void performIndividualAlloc(int nElements, int sizeofElement) { int tid = threadIdx.x + blockIdx.x * blockDim.x; while(tid < nElements) { ara2[tid] = malloc(sizeofElement); tid += blockDim.x * gridDim.x; } } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { try { if(argc < 3) { cerr << "Use: nElements size (in bytes) of each element" << endl; return -1; } int nElements=atoi(argv[1]); int sizeElements=atoi(argv[2]); cerr << "Using: nElements " << nElements << " " << sizeElements << endl; performBlockAlloc<<<1,1>>>(nElements, sizeElements); if(cudaPeekAtLastError() != cudaSuccess) throw "single allocation failed!"; int nBlocks = (nElements/256 + 1); nBlocks = (nBlocks > 65535)?65535:nBlocks; performIndividualAlloc<<<nBlocks,256>>>(nElements, sizeElements); if(cudaPeekAtLastError() != cudaSuccess) throw "individual allocations failed!"; } catch (const char * e) { cerr << "caught exception: " << e << endl; cudaError err; if((err=cudaGetLastError()) != cudaSuccess) cerr << "CUDA reports: " << cudaGetErrorString(err) << endl; cudaDeviceReset(); return -1; } return 0; }
Compiling this program with
nvcc (with
–arch=sm_20 or greater) and running it with
nvprof demonstrates the tremendous cost of individual
malloc() or
new operations. In Listing Two (the profiler output), allocating 1 million individual objects ran 445x slower than creating a single memory region that contains a million objects.
Listing Two: Profile information for testMalloc.cu.
$ nvprof ./testMalloc 1000000 128 ======== NVPROF is profiling testMalloc... ======== Command: testMalloc 1000000 128 Using: nElements 1000000 128 ======== Profiling result: Time(%) Time Calls Avg Min Max Name 100.00 7.86s 1 7.86s 7.86s 7.86s performIndividualAlloc(int, int) 0.00 17.66us 1 17.66us 17.66us 17.66us performBlockAlloc(int, int)
A Massively-Parallel Memory Manager for Both Host and Device Data
To meet the need for a massively parallel stack and memory allocator, the
MappedTypeArray class ties the two orders-of-magnitude faster performance of the CUDA memory allocator when creating an array of many objects with the performance robustness of the
ParallelCounter class and the transparency of the
More specifically, this article provides working source code for a
MappedTypeArray class that uses
cudaHostMalloc()to allocate an array containing a user-specified number of objects of type
T. The
MappedTypeArray class utilizes
SHADOW_MACRO(), so it can transparently create and move data between the host and device memory. The
MappedTypeArray class also utilizes a variant of the fast
ParallelCounter class to provide an index into the unallocated portions of the type array. This new class, called
BoundedParallelCounter, also provides methods that return the total count of the number of objects that have been allocated, and a means of traversing all allocated items.
BoundedParallelCounter class has been designed to provide unique integers that cover all possible integers in the range [0 ..
nTypes), regardless of how it is incremented and queried in a massively parallel environment.
The challenge with the
ParallelCounter class is that it's designed so that all the threads in a warp can atomically modify the
count vector in parallel without blocking any threads. Under this common situation, the value of a
ParallelCounter object will appear to suddenly increase by warp size. While
atomicAdd() operations are guaranteed to correctly increment a single integer in the
count vector in the
ParallelCounter class, no guarantees can be made that a sum across all elements in
count will accurately reflect the contributions of all the threads while the counter is being modified in parallel. Thus, the
ParallelCounter class as currently designed cannot support the memory allocation needs of the
MappedTypeArray class.
A Bounded Parallel Counter Class for Memory Allocation
The source code is provided in this section for a
BoundedParalleCounter class that will generate all unique integers between [0..
nTypes), regardless of how the object is incremented and queried in a massively parallel environment. Note that this does not imply that the integers will be delivered in consecutive order! As with the
ParallelCounter class, the
BoundedParallelCounter class minimizes blocking to preserve high parallel performance under all usage scenarios.
The main idea behind the
BoundedParallelCounter class is that the value contained in each integer in the
count array represents a unique index that can be used for memory allocation. The value of this unique index is calculated much like the index in a 2D array stored in contiguous memory (for example,
count[i] * maxColCount). The idea is illustrated in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Unique indexes calculated by the BoundedParallelCounter class.
Just like the
ParallelCounter class, each element of the
count array is atomically modified. The old value returned by
atomicAdd() is used in the calculation of the correct index into the type array, which means no race condition can occur even when another thread incrementing the same element in the
count array at the same time. The other thread will simply get the next index into the type array. This technique is not guaranteed to generate sequential indices, which is acceptable so long as duplicate indices are not generated.

My diversity has enabled me to survive as an artist for over a half century. Most artists stay with a style that reflects their inner personality. I believe that an artist should be like an actor who plays many roles and who subjugates themselves to the role at hand, letting it tell them how to play it. A chinese artist once said, " to paint a flower you must "be" a flower, to paint a tiger, you must be a tiger. This is me! Commission Projects Available. Please feel free to email me with questions.

Brevet Season
Melinda Lyon of the New England Randonneurs, Pamela Blalock, and Matt Roy of MM Racing. Matt was at a disadvantage in that he went on last and it was already quite late. But I am so glad I stayed for his presentation, because he is an extremely engaging and charismatic speaker. At 10pm, Matt's talk made me want to immediately get up and ride a few hundred miles - whilst meticulously following his instructions of course.
Some day I would like to take part in a brevet (or a flèche - those sound like so much fun!), and I certainly do not mean to discourage others from doing it. It's just that there has been such a tendency to romanticise randonneuring and to contrast it with racing, that the popular image of the activity does not, in my opinion, adequately reflect how challenging and demanding it actually is. It's good to go into something with realistic expectations.

Thinking about the 'Say Hey Kid'
When you come to San Francisco, you're in Willie Mays country. This is his turf. You go by the statue of him outside AT&T Park, and it really hits home. This is where he played some of his greatest baseball, one of the all-time best.
It's almost like he invented the position I play. He was the master of center field, no quesiton about it.It's his position, and I'm honored to follow in his footsteps.
I had the good fortune to meet him once. It was at the 2007 All-Star Game here. He was The Man that day, walking out on the red carpet, getting that great ovation from the people. It was emotional for everybody. Seeing Willie Mays walk on that field, a tear in his eye, that really got to me. He is loved here, that's for sure.
When we all huddled around him on the field before the game that day, I shook his hand. He had a tear in his eye, and I remember how thrilled I was when he told me that he liked the way I play the game. I can't tell you how much that meant to me, coming from where I did in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, a football player who became a baseball player. Hearing the great Willie Mays tell me that, it blew me away.
All I could think of watching him that day was the film of that classic catch he made in the 1954 World Series, his back to the infield, whirling and making that throw. He was known as the "Say Hey Kid" when he was young, and he played center field the way I've always wanted to play it, dreamed of playing it. He threw his whole body and soul into the game. I think that's why he's always been so admired — that attitude he brought to the game along with his incredible tools.
People always focus on a guy's power, his offense, but Willie could beat you running the bases, making great catches and throws, doing it all. He had amazing instincts. When you have a five-tool guy like that, you don't let him go. You keep him, work with him, help him grow into the player he can be.
I just wish I could have seen him play live. Everybody I've talked to who saw him says he was the best, that the brought so much energy and passion to the game that it had an impact on everybody. That's what I try to do, play the game aggressively, without fear of failure. A young guy like Sean Rodriguez comes up and sees the way I play, hopefully that shows him that you should play aggressively, go first to third, not worry about making a mistake. You have to be bold and believe in yourself to succeed in this game.
I got to know Preston Gomez after I signed with the Angels, and he's someone we all miss, like Nick Adenhart. Preston was in the game for about 60 years, and he always said Willie Mays was the greatest player of them all.
One of the best compliments I've gotten was when Preston told Lyle Spencer of MLB.com, just before he had that accident after leaving Spring Training in 2008, that I reminded him of Willie Mays in some ways. He told Lyle that it was not just the way I played center field and hit with power and ran the bases, but the way I work at my game, trying always to get better. I'm learning new things all the time, and I think I'm better now than I've ever been, because of the knowledge I've been able to pick up and apply to my game.
One thing Preston told Lyle that I especially appreciate is that I have a positive impact on my teammates. He said I was one of the best leaders, and it would show in the work ethic of my teammates. If that is the case, it's something I'm tremendously proud of, because nothing is more important to me than playing the game right and being an example for the younger guys coming up.
When you think about it, being compared to Willie Mays in any way is an honor. Coming from a great and respected baseball man like Preston Gomez, that is something I'll always cherish.

Willie was one of the greatest to ever play the game… although I'm sure some of your catches… along with a couple by Jim Edmonds' would be on a highlight reel right along with the Say Hey Kid…
One day Torii, the next generation will be writing similar articles about you. I'm sure you make Willie proud!
i hope someday you became a giant you would look good in the uniform just were the number 34 instead of 24 that number is already taken lol!!!
Torii, I am a Twins fan who watched you develop as a player. We in Minnesota sure do miss you!! I also spent my early childhood in the Bay Area, and I attended my first baseball games at Candlestick Park when Mays and McCovey were the Giants' stars. You definitely are this generation's Willie Mays. And let's not forget Kirby Puckett in that lineage. All three of you play(ed) with joy and without fear, as baseball should be played.
Willie Mays was one of the greatest. It must have been a great feeling playing where Willie once did.
Preston, Nick, Gabby. . .in times like these, we could all use a little boost. Thanks Torii, for taking on the mantle with grace and humility. Hope your ribs are feeling better. Willie, Hank, Jackie, Joe (Black). We honor their lives by doing our best to make things happen, inside and outside of baseball. . .BeesGal
Mr Hunter,
man glad to see you're alright! You hit the wall pretty hard there it was 8-0 too! You didn't have to do that but the fact that you did try your best is so admiring. You give it your all and I think that is what Mr Gomez saw in you to compare you with Mr Mays. Anyways best of luck (y'all are on a roll alright! winning streaks are fun huh?)
much love and support
I grew up watching Willie Mays…he was my hero. I collected all his
baseball cards and pictures. The man was the most dynamic player of his
time. I can only imagine what it must be like playing on a big league
field (in what used to be called Candlestick Park) on his home turf. I
only saw him play live once (when the Giants were in town for the Dodgers) but
it was an experience. He hit two homers that day…I almost caught
one…it was literally taken away from me by an guy who was twice my size…I
was 9. I'd kill to have that ball now.
Growing up I always remember my Dad talking about the GREAT ball players and Mays was definetly one in the group. I can only imagine the thrill that you felt while standing very near one of your idols. And, for you to want to be one of the GREATS is more than anyone can ask for. As I see you in the dugout before a game I see you as the CHEERLEADER and I see all of your other team mates wanting to receive and give the same kind of leadership. You are in my book a GREAT player and I love and can very clearly see your hard work and effort. Stay healthy and have the best season ever.
In your post you stated "I think that's why he's always been so admired — that attitude he brought to the game along with his incredible tools."— Torii, you bring the same attitude and skill to the game that Willie did back then, that's why you are so admired in the game today. And this is coming from one of your arch-rival Dodger fans. I, too, was sitting on the edge of my seat when you were lying in the warning track in SF holding your ribcage. Glad to see you are none the worse for the wear! Keep up the good work. We will all be watching with big smiles on our faces.
Torii, Are you going to post any more episodes of "Hanging with Mr. Hunter"? I really enjoyed the one you did post. Made me smile all day thinkimg about it. You are so awesome to let us fans into a bit of your thoughts and privacy. Thanks, CJ
Thank you so much for your Willie stories. I met Mr. Mayes at a golf tournament in 1993. What a great day, what a great person. I'm glad you have as much passon for the game as Willie. I think you are the most class act in baseball today. Always looking foward to reading your blog's. All baseball fans should keep an eye on Torii. This guy is the full package. Sorry Minnesota, he's an ANGEL now.

Most assets purchased at auction are not prepared, packaged or otherwise ready for shipment upon pickup. Assets are generally sold from commercial environments and are in AS IS WHERE IS condition. As an auction buyer, you may require of one or more logistics services to collect, prepare and ship your purchases. Below is a list of common services you may need:
Most assets purchased at an auction need to be prepared before they can be safely shipped. Fragile equipment like computers and microscopes may require to be foam-packed or protected in bubble-wrap. If you purchase multiple assets, they may be able to be consolidated into one box or crate before shipping. Most carriers (see below) will not accept loose or unpackaged freight. Once items are packed, they need to be prepared (forms completed) and handed to the carrier of choice.
Machine Moving / Rigging
Large, complicated machinery may need to be disconnected, disassembled, and loaded onto transport. Riggers (Millwrights) can provide these services and may also be helpful in documenting the dismantling process and labeling connections in order to make set up and reconfiguration more efficient on the receiving end.
Freight Forwarders / Carriers:
Once assets are packed or crated, they need to be prepared for the carrier of choice: forms filled out, pickup appointment scheduled, and physical hand-off to the carrier's truck. Our listed third-party logistics service providers offer this as part of their standard service.
Shipping / International Transportation
Land, air, or ocean container transportation across international borders usually involves the additional complexities of specially-prepared documents which enable goods to pass customs checkpoints without penalties or delays. GoIndustry DoveBid's listed providers have the experience required to manage these complexities.
Insurance when Contracting with an Approved Provider: We recommend that you discuss optional insurance on your purchases with the 3rd party Rigger/Machinery Mover/Freight Forwarder for the time the assets are in their possesion.
Once GoIndustry DoveBid has released the equipment to the buyer or its approved service provider, GoIndustry DoveBid is no longer involved. Claims made after the equipment is released and signed-for should be made to the service provider or the carrier directly once a tracking number has been assigned.

Mitchell Springs may be referred to as the first town site for the City of Cortez. The first in this series on Mitchell Springs in 1882 may be found in the January issue of Looking Back published by the Cortez Journal.
What prompted the Mitchell family to establish a trading post? W.L. Glenn, the Veterans Service Officer in Cortez did some research in the county records on Mitchell Springs and this is his report: "The springs are found under a rock - it was a large pit 8-by-10 foot deep where water collected. The springs had good drinking water but flow was not great. Across the creek west another spring was flowing." The original springs known as Mitchell Springs was located on the east side of the creek and was fenced off by a cedar pole fence. It was accessible by going down into the creek not too far off of County Road H and then up the creek to the springs. It was a favorite picnic area for the young people when they rode their horses in the spring's area and then let themselves down over the rock ledge by rope and saddle.
As previously mentioned, the town of Toltec was probably deserted about 1888 when the post office moved to the new town located on that "hill that no one wanted." Water was scarce in early Cortez. It was brought up from Mitchell Springs by wagon and tank. One source said it sold for 25 cents a bucket - another source said 50 cents a barrel. Many of the farmers and ranchers south of town hauled their water from Mitchell Springs and it was said they paid $1 per barrel for the water. The people in the new town and the surrounding area needed this water to survive.
At a local history seminar held in 1978, Nettie Ince Talcott Woodard mentioned she came to Cortez as a baby in 1909. This was her description of Mitchell Springs. People would go down to the springs if they were lucky enough to have a horse and a barrel to bring it up, and if not, you carried it from Market and Main Streets. They had a cistern there and there were men who would take big tanks and go down to Mitchell Springs and bring up water and put it in the cistern - then the townspeople would go up there and get a bucket of water. She said there was no charge for this water. She didn't know who the men were who hauled the water for the town. She said later the town got water by a three-mile-long wooden flume that went to a ditch that was near the old City Park on North Market. After the ditch came in almost everyone then had a cistern. They put up a flagpole at Main and Market where the original cistern was located and during World War I, everybody would go up and gather around the flagpole and sing songs and have a good time. People living in the new town of Cortez probably didn't do much washing of clothing. One of the first early day residents of Cortez said they wanted to have some trees planted - so they took their dishwater and wash water and watered the trees. Another later said they wanted trees so badly they planted them in buckets and put them out in front of the houses to grow in hopes that someday they would have water to use for trees, etc.
I mentioned families in that area that depended on the springs for their use. In 1915, two of the sons of Frank Greenlee were using burros to pull little sleds with wooden water barrels to haul the water. Many other families living in this area depended on the springs for their water. When the Irrigation Company (MVIC) came in, the ditches were used to fill cisterns to store the water.
In 1939 Charlie Blackmer obtained the 160 acres west of Mitchell Springs plus another 160 acres at the present site of Mitchell Springs. His sons, Joe, Frank and Fred said the springs on both sides of the canyon were used. It was their understanding the springs where the water was hauled from to Cortez was on the west side of the creek. People living in the valley used to come to the east side to get water. On this side, initials had been carved into the rock. There were roads on both sides of the wash and it was called the "cross-over road." There might still be evidence of the old wagon road in the rocks. In the area of the springs on the east side, the Blackmer boys found a lot of old army brass. The army probably camped at the site when the Mitchells had the trading post. It was reported the Mitchells were going to build a flour mill on this side where the road turns into the "Best Logs" as there was evidence of an old foundation there for years. Perhaps the water on this side caused them not to continue with the building. It has been mentioned there was a total of five springs in the area. Residents of that area mention "Poison Springs" where old car bodies were placed in the springs to prevent livestock from drinking the water. It is located on the lower southern edge of McElmo Wash just off of Road H. In past years this was the site of car accidents - some fatal - when they "didn't make the curve" on this road.
When I visited Mitchell Springs in 2000, the springs on both sides of the canyon were still flowing.
In the future, Montezuma County Historical Society would like to mark the location of the "first town site" by a sign and parking area. It is doubtful that the springs would be open to the public because of their location.
June Head is the historian for the Montezuma County Historical Society, and can be contacted for comments, corrections or questions at 565-3880. All interested persons are invited to join the Historical Society.

Developer Reading List, April 02, 2013 New books on Java, Erlang, Unit Testing, Windows and more.
Learn You Some Erlang for Great Good
by Fred Héber
Erlang is the functional language, developed at Swedish phone-maker Ericsson, for use in large-scale, fault-tolerant applications. The language, which embraces the functional model, relies on message passing (with actors) and is generally deployed on multiple nodes, in which the failure of any one instance simply requires a restart of the Erlang VM. Because of this use case, Erlang is frequently thought of as specializing in parallel programming contexts; but while it does handle concurrency well, it's really the elegant fault handling that delivers the language's principal value.
The key obstacle is that the language is hard to learn. The functional model and actor implementation will be new to many developers. The difficulties these features present are compounded by an opaque syntax and less-than-helpful error messages. Consequently, to get up and running with Erlang requires dedication and a long-term commitment. The previous widely used tutorial on Erlang was written by Joe Armstrong, the language's principal developer. However, it was in many ways as unapproachable as the language.
This new book by Fred Hébert changes the whole landscape. It's an enjoyable and approachable introduction to Erlang. The author presents the topics in an intelligent, easy-to-navigate sequence that reveals Erlang in small chunks that build successively on each other. The presentation is laced with humor that is at times a relief, even if it occasionally veers into gallows style. (A dead worker thread, for example, is represented by a cartoon of a corpse floating face-down in a pool.)
Hebert is well-regarded in Erlang circles for this tutorial, which is available online at no cost. The high esteem for this material is well deserved and this book is without a doubt the best way to get on board with Erlang. Recommended.

Long-lasting readers may have noticed a few minor tweaks over the past week or so to the main site – the background to the main text has been getting lighter, so that it has now actually become white. Also, I have added new navigation buttons:Click to View
What do you think? Are these useful navigation aids, Do they make the pages too slow to load (there should only be one new 4Kb image per page), or is it much as before?
Any feedback on the new look of the main shell tutorial is, as ever, greatly appreciated.
