Walls: Travels Along the Barricades, by Marcello Di Cintio, Union Books, RRP£14.99, 288 pages
Human civilisation has always been preoccupied with erecting walls," Marcello Di Cintio points out in his illuminating, brilliantly composed book, Walls: Travels Along the Barricades. Hadrian built a 120km-long limestone wall across Roman Britain; the Chinese built the Great Wall. Not much seems to have changed from those ancient times, as Di Cintio discovers when he travels to eight different countries that have built walls. These include his native Canada where in 1960 the city of Montreal built L'Acadie Fence, a 2m-high chain-link fence separating one of the city's most affluent areas from one of its poorest neighbourhoods.
He points out that all these walls, with the exception of the one in the Western Sahara – built by Morocco and manned by its troops – do not serve their intended purpose; whether as barriers against violence, smuggling or illegal immigration. The question – one I have often asked as I drive along Israel's 8m-high barrier at Kalandia, north of Jerusalem, which separates Palestinian homes in the West Bank from each other – is why do countries continue to waste billions of dollars on such apparently useless projects?
One answer that Di Cintio proposes is that walls are works of theatre. Scholars still wonder, he tells us, whether Hadrian's Wall had any utility "beyond a theatrical expression of imperial power". The wall was a spectacle: "Plastered and whitewashed, the Wall would have shone for miles beneath the northern sun." Likewise, the $4bn barbed-wire barrier along the India-Bangladesh border does not, as Di Cintio points out, "deter unwanted Bangladeshis from crossing the 'zero line'". Why, then, was it built? According to the Indian economist Jagdish Bhagwati: "building the fence was the least disruptive way of doing nothing while appearing to do something." Di Cintio writes that it served as an "illusion to soothe an anxious nation." In other words, a therapeutic spectacle.
Walls also divide, and in the case of the one along India's frontier, it imposes a uniform national identity, an "Indianness" where there was none before. The wall "christens the villagers Indians and warns them that those on the other side are not".
In Ceuta and Melilla, Spanish enclaves in northern Africa, Di Cintio found that the walls embodied old notions of identity: "'We are different from the Moors', the Spaniards cry, and the walls prove this." Di Cintio concludes that these walls stand "less as security barriers than as monuments to Spanish insecurity".
The same could be said of the walls in Israel and those erected in Belfast – despite the latter's misnomer of "peace line", bestowed in 1969 by Belfast's first wall-maker, the British army chief of the time, Sir Ian Freeland. His soldiers erected the first section in 1969: "a line of barbed wire to separate Protestant and Catholic rioters" along Cupar Way.
Travelling to Cyprus, Di Cintio finds that the walls in Nicosia separating the Greek Cypriots from the Turkish-controlled areas force identities on those who cannot cross them: you are either from here or from there. Either one of us or one of them. For those, like the author, who are fortunate enough to be able to cross over, the walls create two sides – and you have to take one of them.
But not all walls mark such precise separations. The West Bank wall does not create a definitive division between Israel and Palestine. There are Israeli settlers living on the Palestinian side of the wall as there are Palestinians living on the Israeli side. What, then, was the purpose of the wall? Undoubtedly it has an element of a spectacle and has given some Israelis a sense of security, even though it was not the wall that stopped the dreaded suicide bombings. That happened largely because of a change in tactics on the part of Hamas, which launched them.
The wall, built mainly inside the West Bank, does serve as a means of grabbing more Palestinian land. But it has another purpose. It provides Israel with a new means of exercising control after it transferred to the Palestinian Authority many of the civilian powers it held before the Oslo Accords were signed in 1993. Now, as Di Cintio discovers, Israel can choose which Palestinians will be granted permits to cross to Israel for work, to pray in the al-Aqsa Mosque or to visit relatives in East Jerusalem.
Di Cintio's book is a travel book that takes its readers through many countries and gives them a sense of what it is like to live on one side of a wall and to experience the fragmentation and destruction of the landscape of one's country. He writes with passion and empathy for the victims of those monstrous walls that take no account of how they affect the human beings living next to them. Nor does he shy away from expressing outrage. In Nicosia, after trying to coax a friend to cross the wall to the Turkish side, the author realises the limit of what he, as on outsider, can experience, concluding that "as much as I learn about the walls and as much as I try to empathise with those who inhabit their shadows, the truth remains that the walls are not meant for me. I don't have the right to coax anyone across."
Whether walls are a spectacle, a form of theatre or a marker separating 'us' from 'them,' the civilised from the barbarians, they are not a neutral object but have a subjective effect. Not only do they divide, they can make those living in their shadow physically ill – as I know from experience, living as I do in the shadow of a wall. Di Cintrio mentions the East German psychiatrist Dietfried Müller-Hegemann, who observed in 1973, "when the Berlin Wall was still standing that it caused psychosis, schizophrenia, and phobias in the East Germans who lived in its shadow. They suffered rage, dejection, and alcoholism – and were more likely to kill themselves. The closer to the physical wall his patients lived, the more acute their disorders. Sometimes the emotional trauma expressed itself in the flesh …The only cure for the Wall Disease was to bring the Wall down."
Di Cintio has identified the common symptoms of a prevailing sickness afflicting many countries, causing them to resort to building expensive but useless walls that are so destructive to the landscape and so harmful to the people living next to them. Nature, of course, has its own cure; eventually the desert, as he writes "will forget the wall". What is doubtful is whether those whose lives have been shattered, or who are forced to live in exile, will ever forget. Yet if, in revealing the folly of building walls, his book, which won the Shaughnessy Cohen Prize for Political Writing, helps to stop the spread of this affliction, it will have served a great purpose.

I recently had the horrific experience of being admitted to St John's Hospital (Szent János Kórház) in Budapest for three days, and wanted to discuss the appalling conditions both the staff and the patients must tolerate.
For example toilet paper, soap and cutlery are not supplied, patients must bring their own. So if you arrive alone in an emergency, you must suffer the double degradation of begging for toilet roll and soap, and then having to scrape the food off your plate into your mouth by hand. I believe this is similar to the regime in place at the infamous Thai prison the "Bangkok Hilton".
Can you imagine the inevitable health hazard for anyone entering this environment, let alone someone who has had invasive surgery and must convalesce in a place with no soap or toilet paper? It's madness! One person alone through not washing his or her hands properly after visiting the toilet could spread by touch throughout the ward diseases including hepatitis A and E, polio, gastroenteritis, poliomyelitis, enteroviruses, cholera and clostridium difficile, to name a few.
After initial checks by the cardiac department I was transferred to the neuro ward after a CT scan. I was given a bed and crammed into a room with three other unfortunate men. This room measured no more than four metres by three metres. I was no more than one metre from two other beds.
To my horror, I observed a staff member handing out pills with bare hands to multiple patients and with the same hands clearing up soiled tissues, an unbelievable health hazard. Under the present conditions a patient could arrive with one illness and leave incubating three new ones, without you or your relatives realising that you actually contracted them in the one place you thought was curing you.
I would say St John's is a luxury five-star holiday complex for nasty bacteria and viruses.
Of course I am mindful of the billions of forints recently lavished by the politicians on themselves in their splendid Parliament, surely not more than two kilometres from St John's. I know nothing will be done about the long-term ruination of places like this, but I was considering starting an appeal called "The toilet paper and soap for St John's appeal", which would have the dual effect of alleviating this problem and, more importantly, embarrassing the authorities.
I believe over time the continuous supply of anti-bacterial soap and toilet paper could avoid many deaths by acquired infections, especially to the elderly and those with weak immune systems; infections contracted during their stay but only showing up once they leave.
If my appeal just saves one life it would be worth it and I am willing to contribute the first HUF 40,000. At Spar prices, for this tiny sum 1000 rolls of toilet paper and 60 antibacterial bottles of hand wash can be bought. Probably enough for the whole hospital for a few days? Imagine what HUF 1,000,000 would buy at wholesale prices, let alone simply asking companies to product-place their hand-wash and toilet roll in the hospital.
I cannot imagine in a million years a politician would ever end up at St John's, maybe for an hour in Accident and Emergency but he'd be whisked off instantly to a private hospital after that. "No bog roll or soap… are you insane? I can't possibly stay here, you fools, this is for the hardy peasantry!"
By the way, the staff were all pleasant and helpful and are doing their best in the most appalling conditions. We have been coming to Budapest for 15 years and love it here.
The photograph taken by my wife is rather poignant, I think.

In a call I placed to Rahr, who has a fortune worth $1.6 billion, he described the divorce as amicable -- saying that he, his wife, and their family went out to dinner together on Sunday night.
"I just have so few sunrises left," said 66-year-old Rahr, "and I want to be happy."
Rahr, who styles himself as Stewie Rah-Rah, "The Number One King of All Fun," was characteristically candid in our conversation, saying that his marriage changed after his second, youngest child went off to college. Waxing wise, he suggested to this young reporter that marriages should have a "divorce cliff" clause that allows couples to mutually annul a marriage as children enter adulthood.
Rahr's musings on nuptial law aside, he now finds himself joining a list of individuals with ten figure fortunes who have gone through divorce proceedings. That process has barely dented some fortunes -- while destroying others. Two former Forbes 400 members, coal tycoon Joseph Craft and Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeff Lurie, fell out of the ranks in this past year alone, due to divorces.
Whether or not Rahr remains on the list depends on entirely on what sort of settlement he reaches. His current net worth of $1.6 billion, derived from the $1.3 billion 2010 sale of Kinray Pharmaceuticals and buoyed by reinvestment of that lump sum, means that he could weather a sizable percentage hit and still maintain billionaire status -- as high as 37.5%. Here's a look at divorces and their impact on billionaire fortunes.
Roman and Irina Abramovich
Married in 1981 and divorced in 2007. The Russian steel magnate and his former wife had five children before he left her for a model. She captured $300 million in the divorce, which may sound like a lot, but that was only 1.6% of his $18.7 billion fortune at the time. Today, Abramovich is worth $12.1 billion.
Wu Yajun and Cai Kui
One of China's largest property developers Wu Yajun divorced her husband, Cai Kui, in November, forking over 30% of her company Longfor Properties in the process. Now Wu is worth $4.7 billion. Cai, who will now appear separately, is worth $3 billion.
Bernie and Slavica Ecclestone
After 24 years the Formula One tycoon's marriage ended in 2008. Wife Slavica filed for divorce citing "unreasonable behavior." The settlement was confidential, but was worth $1.2 billion, according to an unauthorized biography of Ecclestone by investigative journalist Tom Bower. That's roughly 32% of his then $3.7 billion fortune. Today, Ecclestone is worth $2.8 billion.
Steve and Elaine Wynn
This couple's second divorce in 2010 required that Steve split his stake in publicly traded Wynn Resorts with Elaine, who captured more than $740 million in Wynn stock at the time of the settlement. Both continued in their roles at the company: Steve as CEO, Elaine as a board director. Worth roughly $1.6 billion at the time, that capture of public stock was worth 46% of Steve Wynn's fortune. Steve Wynn is now worth $2.5 billion. Elaine, also a billionaire, is worth $1.4 billion.

Sleep Changes
Tonight will be a difficult one. Probably laced with an inability to sleep. I made up my polyphasic sleep schedule to fit with my WoW raiding as well as a real job schedule (should one fall into my lap).
If all goes well I will wake up according to schedule in 3 hours. Keep your fingers crossed for me. Cause I really want to have the will power to do this. It will mean amazing things and lots of time to do it in. If I manage to get up, I'll go for a run and have a nice showet, hours before the rest of the world. This thrills me. For now, time for sleeping.
Goodnight.Filed under daily junk | Comments (3,173)
More experimentation
So first… the No Shampoo stuff. Here goes… As of last night I used real shampoo. With moving and packing I find that I'm constantly dirty and gross and nasty and I'm just not okay with it. I tried to get through it with the baking soda/citric acid combo, but my hair was just not being cooperative with this. So I broke down and used real shampoo and conditioner. This is not permanent, as the hope is that after the move is done and taken care of, the dusty, dirty boxes/stuff issue will resolve itself. I plan on going back to a No Shampoo regimen as soon as the hooplah of moving ends.
Oh another note, I think I've decided to take the plunge and try a Polyphasic Sleep Schedule. Particularly, the Everyman 3 (possibly 4.5 depending on the adjustment period and how well I do).
So here's the thing. Someone linked the Uberman Sleep Schedule as a joke to just eliminate sleep altogether. When I first read it I guffawed. I mean, who eliminates sleep altogether! And how in the hell could this be healthy! But oh, it was definitely intriguing. It was so interesting. The thoughts of all of the things I could do if I had 22 hours of waking time made me want to cry with possibility. Just think about it. Do you find that you spend hours upon hours browsing the internet only to realize you forgot to cook, but now it's almost time for sleeping and shit, what the hell am I gonna do now? 22 hours people. 22 amazing and productively blissful hours!! Then my brain processed to instant jealousy that anyone has the work schedule to allow for something like this. I had to shrug it off. I mean, work wouldn't take to kindly to me asking for 3 chances in an 8 hour day to take naps. And what about the driving? And the week off I'd need to take for the first horribly sleep-deprived portion of adjustment??
So I kept reading. And she mentions the Everyman. The wha?! What's this? And different type of polyphasic sleep?! What's the schedule and how do I sign up!!
With Uberman the first couple weeks are absolutely crucial to the body's ability to adapt. The nap schedule must be followed strictly and it's even suggested to take time off from work/school in order to get over the hump. This is clearly out of the question as I'm saving my vacation time for Comic Con in July. I'm just sayin', I gotta set my priorities here. While on Uberman the nap schedule becomes almost necessary to function normally. There's very little give or take with regard to when you take them. They have to be within a few minutes or it throws the entire system out of whack.
Everyman has a lot more flexibility. It allows you to take your 3 naps within an hour of when you've scheduled it. You can also on the fly adjust from the Everyman 3 (which is a Core sleep of 3 hours and 3-4 twenty/thirty minute naps throughout the day) to the Everyman 4.5 (Core sleep of 4.5 hours and 1-2 twenty/thirty minute nap(s)). There's a longer adjustment period (up to a month or more) but no need to take a week or two of off work in order to get over it.
Days 3 and 4 are still the hardest when you've finally hit the true Sleep Deprivation mode. Ah well, I know how that goes. I get that kind of groggy, wtf am I doing at work feeling with monophasic sleep (the traditional being awake for 16-ish hours a day of productivity and 8-ish hours of sleep). Though really, who actually gets the alloted 8 hours a night? I know I don't! And I'm tired as hell because of it!
So my plan is to pick a week… maybe one in June, and see if I can't make this happen. I always am struggling to find time to do things I want and like to do with free time. It always ends up being a This -or- that instead of a little of each. I want to crochet/knit more, but then I can't play WoW. If I play WoW then I can't crochet/knit. It's a catch 22. Plus all the random internet reading, blogging, researching, randomness. Plus I'd like to go tot he gym. Maybe. One day.
I've worked up a schedule using chikuru's sleep schedule as a guide. Because really I hate mornings and would much rather have more time during the dark parts of the day to do stuff than any other. Plus, I have to consider work and commuting into the equation. So my plan is to have my core between 4am and 7am, the first nap at noon (during my lunch), 2nd nap after I get home from work, and the 3rd nap at 11pm-midnight-ish.
Once I start this I'm gonna have to try to be better about, y'know, not snoozing alarms and actually getting up. Also, not oversleeping.Filed under sleep | Comments (12,594)

A visit to see Amma
Alexandra Palace in north London on a grey morning in December – a Thursday. An Indian-looking man in a bright orange parka is guarding the driveway to the grand Victorian exhibition centre at the top of Alexandra Park. A banner next to him announces the presence of Amma – born Mata Amritanandamayi – "The hugging saint."
White women in white saris, men clad in white, wearing beards, smiles, or looks of utter seriousness, make their way in and out of the main hall which, as their feet testify, you can only enter in socks.
Some consider her a deity. She was blue when she was born, it is said, indicating an incarnation of Krishna. That's the sell, anyway: You feel blue, I have been blue, let me, Amma (Mamma) hug you. The catch? You'll end up spending more on pakoras, samosas, chai and battered aubergine slices than you could ever dream.
I waste no time in collecting a token. It's in the Ks. Amma is currently hugging the Bs – it's a good few hours before my turn. At the opposite end of the arena, away from the alphabetical rows of seats filled with people waiting for their fix of divine-mother energy are stalls selling Amma-branded wares, with her own logo. At £60 ($120), the handmade and rather voodoo-like dolls were far too expensive for cuddly toys but probably reasonable for heavenly trinkets. The tannoy advertises "Amrita TV", a cable channel broadcasting footage of devotees in ceremonies to other devotees.
Also on offer: bracelets and necklaces marked 'worn' – and thus 'blessed' – by Amma; shower cream, shampoo, soap, and in a car-boot-sale twist, a Leprechaun. (One blessing was surely that there were no Amma toilet rolls.)
Designated cashiers issue vouchers you can then shop with – 'spiritual' garments, iffy oil paintings of Amma, everything short of Amma Fried Chicken (she's vegetarian).
Eventually I too am inched forward and then join a line on my knees. You surrender your glasses, any bags, disbelief and intelligence as your status shrinks. Then, before you know it, you are facing the woman herself, your every movement monitored and guided by the ushers.
Amma is doused in lime-smelling perfume and she has a hoarse motherly voice. She puts her head to your temple, mumbles a blessing, and you leave feeling rather elated. This elation can be explained: first and foremost, she does impart something, if only relief that the wait is over. Her disciples, as you approach her, cross you with a scented wax, like a lip gloss, leaving the pleasant smell. They even ask you what language you speak, although this is a con, Amma goes 'mwoa-mwoa-mwoaa', which translates into most languages as 'mwoa-mwoa-mwoa'.
It would be disingenuous to say it's not a good hug. Thousands flock to her. In the same way that a writer can send you into rapture with the turn of a final sentence, so Amma can with her expectation management and marketing technique. Amma worked for three days, taking a break in the mid-afternoons, and returning in the early evening for the long haul – 6pm to around 9am on the last sit, and, in a true sign of godliness, she doesn't even take a pee break.
Ally Pally turns into a city of hug-seekers, children and adults milling about, people asleep in sleeping bags, waiting, lining up for food, in their hundreds, to be embraced. Now, she was on the stage, invoking the spirit of Devi Bhava (a business guru sacred to charlatanism), on a podium all dressed up wearing a crown. Oh, for a carpenter, half-naked on a cross or a smug fat bloke in robe, or a chap so humble he must in no shape or form be depicted. Impressively, though, Amma doesn't shy from people, there is no Popemobile distancing, she is truly hands-on. Access is her USP – you try hugging the Archbishop of Canterbury.
A look back at the year
The first six months:
Meet Bunny for a coffee. I've known Bunny for years, he is a doctor. Both of us face a stretch of unemployment. He's looking at being struck off after turning up to work dressed as a rabbit and me, well, as usual I have failed to plan and none of my contacts are using freelancers. These are dark days, I tell Bunny as I spoon a mouthful of tiramisu. He is optimistic though. I spoke to my boss, he says, and they think I can be an entertainer in a children's ward but not a radiologist. The woman who is serving us is French, I can tell from her fingernails (they are shaped like the Eiffel Tower) and, of course, her nose.
After such an eventful January I start this month with hope: things cannot get more hopeless. The sky is grey and forms a lining under my skin. I bring a carpet into my apartment, a giant roll bought at a discount. Then the guy around to fix my broadband tells me he can fit carpet too. A week later I come home to find my laptop has been carpeted.
The sense that my months happen in an afternoon seems to accelerate my sense of a trot towards death. Twelve such afternoons to a year, multiplied by 30, or to be generous 31, and I'll be dead in a month. I decide to forget about the carpet and do some of the things I'd like to do before I die. I go to the British Museum and book a day-return to Ipswich.
Autumn has arrived. My hair graying, the carpet in my living room is a monument to mishap. I turn it into an altar and I pray that this month, unlike last month, will not wither away. Josephine calls. She's getting married. Oh, Josephine! Wait! My carpet will be fitted, my laptop rid of its fleece and I can take your hand. But women don't wait — there are guys out there with no carpet on their laptops. With Josephine – who I had promised to return to once I got my house in order – married, I decide to cover my fridge and TV set with carpet, and then my bathroom mirror.
I am alone in my bedroom which I do not intend to leave until July. I will catch up with my reading and self-flagellation.The bedroom will be the limit of my world. Some nights I am cold and hug my blanket to keep it warm. When it gets really chilly, I allow my blanket to cover me. I have a few books on the go but I do not want them to end without one of my teeth falling out.
Bunny calls. Lunch? he says. I haven't eaten for weeks: a few dry cornflakes here and there but mostly water and vitamin tablets. You must be hungry, he says. Yes, but unable to ingest. He drives around to pluck me out of my supposedly divine degeneration. There is meaning to this life, his smile says. Always scrubbed up, he's a pleasure to be around. His teeth are intact and he has no discernible desire to rot. We have a coffee. The French waitress's English has improved. Bunny's still in his job, he tells me. He agreed to only wearing fancy dress on Thursdays when he is in the research lab.
An update :0)
The journey to work each morning kicks off at south London's Oval station, where a hefty waft of Tube air is inhaled by everyone on the platform as the northbound Northern Line arrives. The mood is grim — that air seems to cast a film on your face that lasts all day. You could wash it off, but washing your face in the office takes effort. At around 9.15am the train is jam packed. Sometimes you have to forgo (or is it forego?) the first arrival which allows you to take in another Hefty Waft caused by the city's intestinal stirrings. Anyway, all this and the return on the rush hour in the evening, after a day of juggling with other people's words leave little appetite for updating your blog: apologies to regular readers for the dearth in updates of late. Happy Christmas. Soul Bean resolves to update more in 2008.

Over 46,000 books are offered online by Project Gutenberg, an online repository of previously published material. Project Gutenberg is completely free, and offers books both online and for download. An additional 100,000 books are available through Project Gutenberg's affiliates.
Project Gutenberg is a volunteer effort to create and distribute an electronic collection of books. It was founded in 1971 by Michael Hart, reports the Encyclopaedia Britannica, when Hart transcirbed a copy of the U.S. Declaration of Independence. While Project Gutenberg does store recently printed books, it only records books in the public domain. In many jurisdictions, an author's copyright on a book remains for 50 or 70 years after death. For instance, books published between 1923 and 1977 maintain their copyright for 95 years after publication, while books published since then maintain their copyright for 70 years after the author's death. While this doesn't affect many older works, it ensures that Project Gutenberg is often unable to print more recently published works.
Project Gutenberg carries works predominantly in English, although Encyclopaedia Britannica reports that works in other languages have been carried since 1997. The 2004 introduction of Project Gutenberg Europe meant the transcription of non-English books was included. Project Gutenberg now holds copies of works in over 50 languages.

Music Makes The World Go Round
I went to see Stephen Fry the other day.
Not really much to say about it ... he was - well - Stephen Fry. Like him or loath him, there was a hilarious part of the show when he spotted a guy sitting in the audience and he asked him his name. The man looked back at him, slightly surprised, and in a softly spoken Aussie brogue, told him his name (I'm not saying who it was, but you Aussies would know him). One of Australia's top comedians.
Suddenly all the air was sucked out of the room as the audience held it's collective breath. But the worst was still to come. Not recognising one of Australia's most famous comedians, Fry pursued his line of questioning. "So, my friend, what do you do?"
After looking back at Fry, the man paused and quietly replied "I'm a comedian. What do you do?"
I've got to admit, I much rather prefer music concerts than stand-up comedy.
I remember recently, some well-meaning (read - "idiot") friends took me clubbing. Sure, I love seeing the best bands in the world at huge venues, but sometimes I get as much joy from watching someone try to ride a wheelie bin as if it's a rodeo bull. Soooo we went to see an unknown band perform at a relatively small venue.
When it comes to rock and roll and comedy, stand-up doesn't really stand up. For starters rock and roll is cool. Everyone knows the old saying "sex, drugs and rock and roll". Comedy, I guess, is more "sex jokes and getting the dole".
There is no doubt that rock and roll is sexier than comedy. Despite girls often listing 'sense of humour' as an attractive quality, you rarely see us getting randy for Billy Connolly. A male rock star can get ear piercing screams for removing his shirt. Let's face it, there are rock drummers who, I'm sure, who have never owned a shirt. A comedy gig is about the only place you'll hear an audience scream for the comedian to put his shirt back on.
Music can definitely make things sexy. You can take someone home, dim the lights, light some candles, slip on some James Blunt and let's ... get ... it ... on!! I'd somehow doubt you'd get the same effect if the CD was Kevin Bloody Wilson.
In rock and roll, it's expected that the musos behave as offensively as possible, but the same leeway isn't extended to the punters. In fact, I think we need a special version of the Ten Commandments just for gigs.
Now before I go on, I should clarify that I am not a religious person. Nevertheless, I like the idea of existence coming with a detailed set of instructions. God's version of "Life For Dummies", but perhaps I'm being a little demanding of the big fella to come up with commandments for gigs, so I asked my friends for their views. So here, in the name of making this crazy thing called 'life' a little simpler, are my 10 Commandments for concerts -
1. If you want to have a convo with someone, do it at the bar
2. If you're going to the mosh-pit, finish your drink first.
3. If you are going to sit on your boyfriend's shoulders, improving your view of the stage, but obstructing it for half the audience, take off your top so at least the male half of the audience has something interesting to look at
4. Apart from the aforementioned shoulders commandment, shirts should remain on at all times. Thee obvious exception is if you are the band's drummer, in which case being topless at all times during the gig is compulsory.
5. If you are going to follow the lead singer's request to 'put your hands in the air and wave them like you just don't care', please make sure that you have applied a liberal amount of deodorant.
6. If you must take photos, try to avoid pointing the flash in the artists' eyes. Unless, of course, that artist is Justin Beiber!
7. You must be 100 percent sure of the lyrics before committing to singing along. I'm sure Billy Thorpe wasn't singing "Boys on my bed". It was "Poison Ivy" people.
8. When attending a gig, you must not, I repeat, you must not, wear a t-shirt featuring the band you are actually seeing.
9. If you don't have fluorescent green hair in your everyday life, don't dye it fluorescent green for a concert. Chances are, sometime during the middle of the show the dye will start to mix with your perspiration and you'll end up looking like The Hulk's love child.
10. Earplugs should not be worn at any time. If it's too loud, you're too old. Go home.
And here, my children, endeth the lesson.

From Outlook® directly to the SAP archive
In modern business processes communication with business partners and prospective clients is done, for the most part, via e-mail. Important information and documents lie in the mailboxes of clerks or are stored on local drives.
A storage point for the relevant object in the SAP archive would be desirable, but is inconvenient and time-consuming to accomplish using SAP standard functions: the documents must firstly be stored locally in order to subsequently upload the relevant object to the archive in the SAP GUI using the function "Object Services".
S&N offers its customers the Outlook Add-In mailSUp (mail to SAP upload) which greatly simplifies and accelerates the process for the fleet and insTRA business objects.
In Outlook, you can locate the relevant SAP object and, by means of the drag'n'drop function, place e-mails and their attachments in the SAP archive.
You can also rename documents before storage and attach a comment.
For this process you do not need SAP GUI!
Due to the increased demand from our customers this tool has now been more comfortably designed and is geared towards the needs of all SAP users.
It is now possible to connect mailSUp in a matter of minutes to any SAP business object by means of SAP Customising. All the settings required for operate in SAP Customising and they are immediately available to you and your colleagues in mailSUp in Microsoft Outlook®.
By using mailSUp you can store all correspondence including e-mail attachments easily and comfortably in compliance with the SAP ArchiveLink standards in the SAP archive.
How does it work?
In SAP you use a so-called search help to identify a specific object, for example accounts receivable.
A search help (F4 Help) is a standard feature of an SAP system. The user can display the list of all possible input values for an input field using the search help. The possible input values may be supplemented by explanatory additional information.
In order to find a customer in an SAP dialogue, SAP provides various search helps:
- Accounts receivable general
- Accounts receivable per company code
- Accounts receivable per country/company code
- Accounts receivable per country
- Accounts receivable per personnel number
- Accounts receivable by tax information
Depending on the selected search help different input values are available in order to find the desired customer.
All you need to do in order to be able to file mailSUp e-mails and their attached documents with the accounts receivable, is to enter the corresponding business object (LFA1) in a customising table.
If you want to offer your users more search help to a business object, you can do this with the help of the variants.
Immediately the mailSUp users can now search within Microsoft Outlook® by accounts and place the appropriate correspondence in the SAP archive.
As an option, you can now individually customise the order of the fields and their description as well as the order and column headers in the results table.
It is easy to introduce mailSUp in your business. In addition to the add-in for Microsoft Outlook® you still get a SAP transport, which contains the logic and customising tables. You will also receive detailed customising and user documentation.
If you still require assistance, our specialists will help you with the configuration of your business objects. mailSUp is available for Microsoft Outlook® 2007, 2010 and 2013. The licensing model offers individual license packages as well as a client-oriented company license.

I know it is now 9/12, but I wanted to take a moment to share my memories of 9/11/2001.
I was in my first year of residency in Greenville and was on an inpatient pediatric rotation. We residents had done our preliminary rounds and were meeting in the pediatric workroom with our attending physician discussing patients when someone told us to turn on the news.
We turned it on just after the first tower had been struck and watched for the next several hours before continuing our rounds.
While watching, our attending physician Robbie Robinson (possibly the smartest person I have ever met) said "This was Osama Bin Laden". We all said, "Who is that?" and he proceeded to educate us.
I will certainly never forget how I watched the firemen and policemen heroically heading into the chaos to try to save anyone they could as multitudes ran in the opposite direction
I remember the unity we saw among Americans. I remember that our nation sought God as a result.
I remember the leadership of George W. Bush and Rudy Giuliani, despite their personal faults, in the weeks and months following that terrible day. Whatever criticisms you may have of them, they were the firm and reassuring hands our nation needed during those uncertain days.
Never forget the heroism of that day.
Never forget that America has enemies.
Never forget that we all have an enemy.
Never forget that there is a Hero who will defeat that enemy permanently.

Appsfire launches in-stream ad product 'Sashimi,' which it says produces Facebook ads on steroids
Last year, Appsfire announced it was ditching its renowned app discovery service on iOS and Android, seeking to shift its business towards a mobile advertising solution.
Following that, it unveiled URA MAKI, which it described as an entirely new ad experience that gives users more control over their ads. Today, Appsfire launched 'Sashimi' — in-stream advertising formats for mobile apps — as it takes a deeper dive into mobile native ads.
Appsfire acknowledges that in-stream mobile ads have already been done by other companies, including Facebook — but the ads are currently proprietary to them. Sashimi ads, on the other hand, are automatically generated, produced, translated and formatted into any type of app with feeds of content. In short, Appsfire calls Sashimi ads "Facebook ads on steroids."
Appsfire claims that Sashimi provides the first ever in-feed ad format that fits the design of any app. It provides a set of templates for its Sashimi ads, and also simple ways to reformat the set of elements and content of a Sashimi ad in any way, so it can fit an app according to the frame, shape, font, or order of content. Furthermore, no creatives are required for creating Sashimi ads, which means it's simple for advertisers to adopt the format and scale easily.
Sashimi ads are supported on iOS devices today, with Android and HTML5 landing in the coming weeks. An app that has already incorporated Sashimi ads is Newsfire, a free news aggregator.

When I worked at Boston Scientific, Buckingham and Clifton's book Now, Discover Your Strengths seemed to be on every bookshelf I saw. It was uplifting to see that people wanted to pay attention to what was right, not just what was wrong. The big idea of the book is: Capitalize on your strengths and manage your weaknesses. Buckingham and Clifton suggested: "Look inside yourself, try to identify your strongest threads, reinforce them with practice and learning, and then either find, or carve out a role that draws on these strengths every day." They called your strongest threads your talent. That is your naturally occurred pattern of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. To help you detect the trace of your talents, they have a StrengthsFinder instrument to help you identify your dominant themes of talent. Also, you can pay attention to your spontaneous reaction, your yearnings, your rapid learning experiences, and your satisfaction from doing certain things. As for your weaknesses, their recipe include: get a little better at it for baseline requirements (such as communication, organization, and being responsible), design a support system, use one of your strongest themes to overwhelm your weakness, find a partner, or just stop doing it.

Retailers dabbled with mobile advertising in its early stages, but their focus was primarily elsewhere. Not anymore. Mobile advertising expenditures still pale next to overall marketing spend, but as mobile capabilities deepen, retailers are spending more, and on more types of mobile advertising.
eMarketer estimates 120 million US consumers use their smartphones and tablets while shopping, browsing for new deals, researching options and buying products. And they don't stop using their phones when entering a store. They're checking competitor prices, asking friends for advice and reading reviews while strolling down the aisles. Mobile has erased the hard divide between the physical store and ecommerce. Retail is ground zero for the evolving commerce and media landscape.
This report looks at how retailers—as advertisers—are responding to mobile. It takes a brief look at the overall size of retail mobile advertising spend, and then examines the uses of mobile advertising at various points along the purchase path. Different mobile advertising formats suit different goals, although in practice there is increasing fluidity in how advertisers deploy different types of ads. As is true everywhere in digital advertising, lines are blurring.
Unlike advertising in tethered media, mobile advertising allows retailers to reach their customers at every stage of the decision-making process, inside the store or out. Lured by the promise of influencing the whole purchase-decision path, retailers have adopted mobile more quickly than other industries. From location-based ads informing shoppers of a nearby store that might interest them to mobile search ads to in-store ads offering discounts for nearby products, retailers are experimenting with new ways to reach and convince consumers to visit a store or download a shopping app.
In a study from mobile ad network Millennial Media, retail and restaurants made up 16% of all mobile ad campaigns on its network in 2012, more than any other industry surveyed.

Following the recent success of his No. 1 single "Think Of You" with Cassadee Pope, Chris Young is back with a powerful new song, "Sober Saturday Night." Young co-wrote the song with Brad Warren and Brett Warren and added even more star power with country music legend Vince Gill lending his expertise in background vocals and guitar.
One of the best qualities of country music is its ability to relate to its audience. With lines like, "not out there gettin' high underneath some neon lights, ain't no whiskey strong enough to make things right," Young paints a very vivid picture of heartbreak – something that everyone has likely experienced at least once in life. The lyrics do a fantastic job of exposing the pain and vulnerability that we so often try to cover up while going through a break up. Young's voice is perfect for this type of song and the emotion shines through. This song could just be the one to prove that ballads still have a place up in the ranks of popularity with the up-beat party songs in country music.
"Sober Saturday Night" was recently released to radio stations across the country and has the potential to become another big hit for Young's already impressive career. As the third single from his I'm Comin' Over album, I would love to see this song make the same impact on radio and with his fans. No doubt there won't be a dry eye in the house if he breaks this song out on stage.
Have you had a chance to listen to Chris Young's new single yet? Make sure you head on over to your favorite digital retailer (or iTunes) to see if you can purchase a copy of your very own and let me know what you think!

Birdsville - My Year in the Back of Beyond - Evan McHugh
Quick Overview
Author: Evan McHugh
First published: 2009 Reprinted: 2010
Format: Paperback 270 pages
For a town with seventy residents (on a good day), Birdsville is remarkably well known – the Birdsville Track, the rodeo, the pub, the infamous races.
With its ruggedness, inaccessibility and larrikin charm, this small town on the edge of the Simpson Desert has become a symbol of the great Australian outback. What is it about Birdsville that has made it stand so large in our legends? And what's it like to live there amongst the floods and the heat and the dust storms? To find out, Evan McHugh packed up his Sydney home, bought a four-wheel drive and headed off with his wife for a year in the back of beyond. Here, he tells us of the large adventures – midnight desert rescues, aerial mustering on vast cattle stations, relentless heat and massive floods – but also the small details of life in one of Australia's most isolated towns – like driving 700 kilometres to go shopping.
As the months fly by, Evan learns about an ancient culture, sees dunes carpeted in millions of tiny wildflowers, and meets the members of an outback community facing extraordinary challenges with quiet determination and buckets of good humour. Birdsville is about breathtaking beauty and harshness of this country the generosity of its salt-of-the-earth people, and one man's discovery of his own reserves of courage and resilience.

September 8, 2011
Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students:
The 2011-2012 School - Year is now in full swing with classes, homework, activities and athletic events filling hours of each day and weekend. We have had a good beginning to our school year with thanks going to both our students and staff! It is my pleasure to share the following updates and celebrations with you:
Important Dates:
SRTC Open House - Is scheduled for this coming Wednesday, September 14 from 6:30 - 8:00 PM. All SRTC students along with their families are encouraged to attend. At 6:30 there will be a brief presentation in the Sanford High School Cafeteria for all participants followed by opportunities to visit classrooms, meet instructors, and learn more about the programs.
PSAT's for sophomores – Will be on Wednesday, October 12th in the AM. The Maine Department of Education will pay the cost for all of Maine's sophomores to take the PSAT. The department cut funding for juniors this past spring.
MHS takes the "lead" in York County – With over 60 MHS Students accessing York County Community College courses through the Dual Enrollment Program this fall. Over 80 courses are being taken by MHS Students. This is by far the largest number of all participating high schools! Well-done MHS!
New starting time and breakfast? – When we changed the starting time for MHS we knew we were going to dig into some students' breakfast time, especially for those students who get off their bus closer to 7:25 AM. We want students to have breakfast at MHS! Our expectation for students who get dropped off closer to 7:25 AM has been made clear; immediately go to the cafe for their breakfast when dropped off, bring it to your Block One Class and finish it safely!
NEACAC College Fair - The MHS Guidance Department will once again sponsor a trip to the New England Association for College and Admission Counseling (NEACAC) College Fair on Sept 23rd. We invite current Juniors and Seniors to sign up for the day at UNH. We expect the day to be as follows: Leave MHS 7:30-7:45, College Fair wandering from 9:00 – 10:00 AM, Tour UNH Campus from 10:00-11:00 AM, have lunch at one of the UNH Dining Halls 11:00-12:00 PM and load busses for return to MHS at 12:30 PM. Spaces for this trip are on a first come basis!
Congratulations go to – MHS Graduate Ariella Marie Thornhill who graduated this past May from Reed College! Well-done Ariella!
An Invitation to Parents of
Massabesic High School Students
5:30 – 5:55 PM Schedule pick up
6:00 - 7:45 PM Follow your child's schedule
We welcome and encourage parents & guardians of all MHS Students to take this opportunity to:
*Meet your child's teachers
*Discover what your child will be learning
*Learn the expectations for each class
*See the new Media Center
*Explore Naviance (our new career and college exploration and application system)
with our Guidance Department
*Develop communication between home and school
Please bring your child's schedule, get a copy of their schedule, or bring your high school child with you so that you have classroom numbers. NJROTC students will be available to direct parents to classrooms and answer questions. Parents and guardians who do not have their child's schedule should come to the MHS Cafe to receive a printout of your child's schedule.
We look forward to seeing you at MHS on September 29th!
Parents and Guardians play a major role - In their children's choices about alcohol, tobacco or other drugs. In a recent national survey of parents, guardians and teens by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University, one-third of teen partygoers have been to parties where teens were drinking alcohol, smoking pot, or using cocaine, Ecstasy or prescription drugs while a parent or guardian was present. By age 17, nearly half (46 percent) of teens have been at such parties where parents and guardians were present.
As we start the school year I want to again share information developed by the Drug-Free Action Alliance to provide you, our parents and guardians with accurate information about the health risks of underage drinking and the legal consequences of providing alcohol to youth. I encourage parents, guardians and our communities to send a unified message that teen alcohol consumption is not acceptable in RSU 57.
Here are the facts:
§ There are many health-related consequences of youth consuming alcohol including negative effects on brain development, deviant behavior including stealing, skipping school and have a greater risk of becoming alcohol-dependant later in life.
§ Parents & Guardians who give alcohol to their teen's friends under any circumstances, even in their own homes, are breaking the law.
§ Parents & Guardians who knowingly allow a person under 21 to remain in their home or on their property while consuming or possessing alcoholic beverages can be prosecuted, and everything associated with such a violation can be confiscated, including personal property.
§ Parents & Guardians can be sued if they allow anyone under 21 to consume alcohol and they, in turn, hurt someone or damage property.
Underage use of alcohol is a serious problem in our nation, the State of Maine, in York County and in our district that too often leads to harmful consequences for our youth and their families. Parents and guardians can protect themselves and their teens by following these guidelines when hosting parties for their sons and daughters:
- Host safe, alcohol-free activities and events
- Refuse to supply alcohol to children or allow drinking in your home or on your property
- Be at home when your teenager has a party
- Make sure your teenager's friends do not bring alcohol into your home
- Talk to other parents about not providing alcohol at youth events
- Report underage drinking
Our message needs to be clear and unified if we are going to put even a dent in this problem!
End of year/Summer recognitions to share:
All-State Musicians - Orchestra - Emma Faith (French Horn), Victoria Hurlburt (Violin) and Amanda Raymond (Violin), Band - John Secunde (alto Sax) and Chorus - Aria Tonini (Soprano), Sarah Connelly (Alto), Angela Alcock (Tenor), Kye Hanson (Tenor), Josh Tharpe (Tenor), Elijah Bragg (Bass) and Brian Gooze (Bass). Super job!
MHS Class of 2011 Graduate Brittany Hannus – Is attending Southern Maine Community College, with some support from a Home-Health Visiting Nurses Scholarship. Ten graduating seniors from York County high schools who will be pursuing careers in nursing at an accredited post-secondary institution received these scholarships. Best wishes Brittany!
MHS Students agree to take on – More responsibilities for 2011-2012:
Class of 2012 President Nate Elmore, VP Dakotah Thornton, Secretary McKenna Hamilton and Treasurer Savanna Arral
Class of 2013 President Brian Wardwell, VP Sarah Connelly and Treasurer Jim Medici
Class of 2014 President Connor Lane and VP Danielle Mailhot
Emily Schatz - Was selected by the Maine Sunday Telegram as an All-State Softball player for 2011. Way to go Emily!
First meeting with each class – As MHS Students know I like to get right to the point and not waste their learning time. On the 3rd day of school I welcomed each class and then reviewed with them a powerpoint on the many positive efforts that have taken place over the last two years by students and staff. I shared that our efforts have resulted in increased success for MHS Students and asked them to continue this trend. I then reviewed with them the following expectations needing their immediate attention:
Dress and appearance of students - Student dress and appearance should not detract from each student's educational focus and should not be a safety hazard. Students dressed inappropriately will be required to cover up or change their clothing. I asked them to please follow our expectations around shorts, shirts and shoulder straps. Remember that ADMINISTRATION IS THE FINAL JUDGE ON WHETHER DRESS IS APPROPRIATE. I also shared with our students that we don't want to make this bigger than it needs to be and so their assistance in following the above immediately is most appreciated.
CELL PHONE and IPOD USE – I explained that there is a time and place to use them and a time and a place NOT to use them. I shared that everyone should know what we expect (before school, in between classes and at lunch) and to make sure that they follow these expectations. If you are found in violation, don't whine, pay the consequences, which are clear (loss of item and one hour detention) and move on. Our students can make the right choice!
AM Tardy to class – If you get here before 7:50 go to class and deal with your teacher for being late. If it is after 7:50 you deal with your assistant principal.
Wandering and the use of "shadows"? – Do not use the support of a "shadow"/ friend when going to bathrooms, fountains and locker during class. Get to where you need to go by yourself.
Lunch expectations? – Please pick up after yourself, just as you should expect of yourself at home, including trays. Please NO wandering in hallways during lunch!
End of the day dismissal? – We have two dismissal waves for students. Please go with your wave, end of story! Students involved in activities or athletics do NOT leave early!
The Academic Eligibility Policy JJIC – Was changed by our school board this past spring. I am happy to share that our fall eligibility numbers for athletics show that nearly 96% of MHS Students who went out were eligible! The following are a few important pieces from JJIC to remind all that these higher expectations must be met in order to participate in activities at MHS:
- A full-time student at MHS is a student enrolled in a minimum of four courses and passing all four (trimester), three courses and passing all three for seniors.
- In the trimester prior to participation a student may not receive more than one "F" or one "F" and one "D" to be eligible for probation. Students with two "Fs" or one "F" and two or more "Ds" lose eligibility for the following trimester. Seniors must pass all three courses to be eligible.
- A student may turn no more than one failing grade into a passing grade (70 or a "P" for pass) through minimum credit recovery parameters over the three week probationary period.
- Probation is a time period of no more than three weeks when a student may recover eligibility.
- If a student starts a trimester on probation and at the time of the second progress report that is again in academic difficulty (one F, one F and two or more Ds), the student becomes ineligible.
- A student on probation may remain on their roster and participate in practice only.
- Credit Recovery may be used to regain eligibility through earning course credit to meet minimum course/credit requirements. A student who participates in credit recovery over the summer will serve the three-week probationary period starting on the first day of that student's fall sport or activity. These students need to meet minimum eligibility standards in order to retain eligibility.
Thanks for listening!
Christian Elkington, Principal

The fifth-generation Treforest based Hutchings Motor Group, have recently opened their brand new state-of-the-art Hyundai dealership in Swansea. The £2.5m development opened last week in time for the firm to gear up for the seasonal September car registration plate change.
Group Managing Director, Stephen Hutchings explained: "Following five years of successful partnership with Hyundai, we are delighted to announce the August opening of this prestigious new dealership, with the finishing touches now being completed on what will be the most significant dealership opening for the Hyundai brand this year.
"We are very confident in the potential of the Swansea market to justify this £2.5m investment for the continued growth of Hutchings Motor Group with Hyundai. We are particularly delighted to have secured such a prominent and well placed location at the end of Valley Way on the Enterprise Park in Llansamlet.
"All our existing Swansea-based staff colleagues are looking forward immensely to moving into the new site from our current Carmarthen Road location. We plan to further increase our staff numbers as the business expands."
John Hutchings, Chairman of Hutchings added, "From the start of this project we committed to ensuring that the main consultants, engineers and contractors involved in its construction would be Swansea-based, ensuring that the whole investment would feed into the local economy.
"Future-proofing the facilities in the new premises was also a major priority, allowing for sufficient additional internal and external expansion space. Renewable energy featured strongly in the design brief including a substantial roof mounted photovoltaic installation which will provide a significant proportion of our electricity requirement and a sophisticated rain-water harvesting system will provide our own self sufficient water supply.
Hutchings Motor Group employs over 100 staff and have other Hyundai dealerships in Bridgend and Pontypridd in addition to their long established Vauxhall business at their North Cardiff location.

Your eyeglasses prescription is supposed to help you see the world clearly, but when wearing glasses makes your eyes hurt it seems as though the tradeoff isn't worth it. Why do your eyes hurt while wearing glasses? A few things could be causing this problem, and there are many easy solutions to help reduce eye strain caused by wearing glasses.
If you are experiencing eye fatigue, pain, or headaches, and your prescription has been around a while, it's time for an eye exam. Your optometrist can check your vision, and make adjustments to your prescription as necessary. She may also discover a misaligned lens or improper fit, which could be to blame for eye strain.
Alternatively, a new prescription has a slight transition period. You may need 24-48 hours to adjust to a new prescription, especially if it is a large change from your previous lenses. While resting your eyes by removing your glasses may help with discomfort as you adapt to your new prescription, you should wear your eyeglasses as your optometrist has prescribed. If you are repeatedly removing your glasses, your eyes and brain must work harder and it will take longer to adjust. If you are still experiencing problems after a week of regular wear, contact your eye doctor to check your prescription and make sure the lenses are accurate.
There is more to wearing glasses comfortably than just your prescription. Heavy frames or improperly fitted eyeglasses may put pressure on your nose or sides of your head, causing discomfort. Loose frames may slip down your nose or rest in the wrong place, so your eyes have to work harder to compensate. Your lenses may have slipped in the frame. The wrong frame shape could be causing your pain. The same goes for glasses that are too close or too far away from your eyes. An optician can ensure your glasses fit properly.
Spending a significant amount of time looking at a screen or reading may cause your eyes and head to hurt. Focus on an object in the distance regularly to give your eyes a chance to rest. Digital light protection can be added to your lenses to reduce the harmful blue light produced by a computer screen.
Looking through old, scratched lenses may cause eye discomfort, so replace lenses as necessary. Consider lenses with an anti-glare coating to lessen eye strain. An anti-glare, or anti-reflective, coating reduces the amount of light that reflects off the front and back of your lenses. This lets more more light pass through to your eyes. It also allows for better visual acuity, or sharper vision.
Your eye doctor can address dry eye, a common complaint and cause of discomfort. Drops may alleviate dry eye irritation, but consult your optometrist for additional recommendations.
Presbyopia, a normal condition that occurs with age, may be the cause of eye pain for individuals over 40. Difficulty focusing or reading small print and subsequent eye strain occurs when the lens of the eye becomes less elastic. You may want to switch to progressive lenses.
Consult your eye doctor to rule out more serious concerns if your change in vision or discomfort is sudden.
Eyeglasses are supposed to make your vision clearer and more comfortable. If they seem to be doing the opposite, these tips should point you in the right direction. Even if you are not experiencing discomfort, visit your eye doctor annually to discover and correct vision problems.

It's not only in his head. Garcia has a significant shoulder injury
Unfortunately, it seems that the news about Cardinals starter Jaime Garicia couldn't be much worse.
According to the team, the lefty was found to have some tearing of the labrum and rotator cuff during an examination of his pitching shoulder. Garcia is a guy who has already had Tommy John surgery on his left elbow. He bounced back from that batter than ever. But shoulder maladies are much more serious.
Not only is there a good chance that his season could be over. But his career could be in jeopardy, too.
The last lefty starter the Cardinals gave a multi-year contract to, Mark Mulder, had his career frustratingly ended by exactly the same injury. Hopefully Garcia's damage is less severe. But it's still the same type of damage to the same parts.
The St. Louis medical staff needs to be extremely careful with how it handles Garcia's recovery. They're doing the right thing by seeking multiple opinions on the course of treatment. But it's important not to rush Garcia back before his arm is sound. Otherwise there's a good chance that he could be ruined for good.
Sadly for the 2012 Redbirds, it seemed that the pitching surplus they thought they had has gone up in smoke. Garcia and Chris Carpenter will both miss significant time while Jake Westbrook has been terrible beyond a handful of starts in April. While Lance Lynn has been excellent filling in for Carp, he can only fill one of the three holes the team has in its rotation.
Meanwhile the thought that minor league top prospect Shelby Miller would be poised to jump in if needed hasn't panned out. Miller is struggling in Class AAA and there are few attractive free agent options available.
