Get up-to-the minute stats throughout the match
We've been feeding you updated MLS standings and scenarios weekly with Standings Watch, but today we turn our attention to CONCACAF Champions League before the Dynamo's final group match on Thursday vs. Árabe Unido (7 p.m. CT; FOX Soccer Plus).
While the Dynamo's MLS situation is a little messy, the CCL scenario is pretty clean: get a result and you're through to the knockout stages. A win or a tie in Panama sends Houston past the group stage for the second consecutive year.
The Dynamo (7 pts) are currently ahead of Árabe Unido (6 pts) and W Connection (1 pt) in Group 1. W Connection have played all of their matches and have been eliminated from contention.
A win puts the Dynamo at 10 points and clearly ahead of Árabe Unido. A draw would keep El Expreso Azul a point behind Houston.
Getting through the group stage of the regional tournament is commendable, but the Dynamo are keen to improve upon last year's result when they pulled out a 1-0 home win over Mexican side Santos Laguna before falling out of the tournament on the return leg.
The eight group winners advance to the knockout rounds, and are seeded 1-8 according to their group stage performances, with the No. 1 seed paired against No. 8, No. 2 with No. 7, etc. These are the ranking tiebreakers:
- Points
- Goal differential
- Goals scored
- Away goals scored
- Wins
- Away wins
- Drawing of lots
Last year, the Dynamo were the No. 7 seed. Here's how this year's rankings look right now, with games to be played Thursday night:
|Games left
|Toluca (MEX)
|Cruz Azul (MEX)
|Tijuana (MEX)
|LA Galaxy (USA)
|10/24 at Isidro Metapán
|Alajuelense (CRI)
|Kansas City (USA)
|Houston (USA)
|10/24 at Árabe Unido
|San Jose (USA)
Group 1 is the only group that has not been decided.
A Dynamo win would push them to at least the fifth seed. The Dynamo could catch the Galaxy and go into fourth if LA loses to Isidro Metapán tonight, or if the Galaxy tie and the Dynamo make up the tiebreakers. Catching Tijuana would require defeating Árabe by at least a five goal margin. A tie gets the Dynamo to the knockout stage, but keeps them in seventh.
The Dynamo headed to Panama for their final CONCACAF Champions League group match against Árabe Unido on Thursday (7 p.m. CT; FOX Soccer Plus). Currently at the top of the group, Houston just needs a draw from the match to secure their passage to the knockout stages of the tournament. Check out the travel roster for the trip, and let us know what you think the starting XI will be on Thursday night.
Goalkeepers: Tyler Deric, Tally Hall
Defenders: Anthony Arena, Corey Ashe, Bobby Boswell, Eric Brunner, Mike Chabala, Kofi Sarkodie
Midfielders: Servando Carrasco, Ricardo Clark, Warren Creavalle, Andrew Driver, Alexander López
Forwards: Giles Barnes, Will Bruin, Calen Carr, Omar Cummings, Jason Johnson, Cam Weaver
Not suprisingly, Brad Davis didn't make the trip a week after ending Panama's World Cup hopes with two assists. It's doubtful he would receive a warm reception, and we'd rather not find out what would happen if the lights went out.

How To Cook Rice on the Stove
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
It's back to basics! How to cook a big pot of rice to go with dinner is one of the first lessons many of us learn in the kitchen. It's an easy and straightforward process that can nonetheless feel like a culinary triumph when you're first starting out. Here's how we do it. What's your technique?
rice cooker for your kitchen. But don't feel that you have to run out and buy one right away. Start with just making rice on the stove top, and upgrade from there.
How to Cook Rice on the Stove
What You Need
1 cup rice
2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter or oil (optional)
Small (2-quart or so) saucepan with a lid
Stirring spoon
Pre-cooking: It's good practice to rinse your rice in a strainer before cooking. This isn't strictly necessary, but it will rinse off any dusty starch on the surface of the rice along with any leftover chaff or stray particles. (Some rices have more starchy coating than others.)
1. Measure the Rice and Water: For most rice, use a 1:2 ratio of one cup of rice to two cups of water. Measure a half cup of uncooked rice per person and scale this ratio up or down depending on how much you're making. Some rice varieties will need a little less or a little more water as it cooks, so check the package for specific instructions.
2. Boil the Water: Bring the water to boil in a small sauce pan. Rice expands as it cooks, so use a saucepan large enough to accommodate. A 2-quart saucepan for one to two cups of uncooked rice is a good size.
3. Add the Rice: When the water has come to a boil, stir in the rice, salt, and butter (if using), and bring it back to a gentle simmer.
4. Cover and Cook: Cover the pot and turn the heat down to low. Don't take off the lid while the rice is cooking — this lets the steam out and affects the cooking time.
Approximate cooking times:
• White Rice: 18 to 25 minutes
• Brown Rice: 30 to 40 minutes
• Wild Rice: 45 to 60 minutes
Start checking the rice around 18 minutes for white rice and 30 minutes for brown rice. When done, the rice will be firm but tender, and no longer crunchy. It is fine if it's slightly sticky but shouldn't be gummy. If there is still water left in the pan when the rice is done, tilt the pan to drain it off.
5. Turn Off the Heat and Remove the Lid: When the rice is done, turn off the heat and take off the lid. Fluff the rice with a spoon or a fork, and let it sit for a few moments to "dry out" and lose that wet, just-steamed texture.
Rice keeps well in the fridge for several days, so you can make extra ahead to serve later.

American WWII Bomb Unearthed, Defused In Central Hong Kong
Originally published on Fri February 7, 2014 3:22 pm
A 2,000-pound bomb dropped on Japanese-occupied Hong Kong by an American bomber during World War II has been defused after it was unearthed at a construction site in the city's central Happy Valley district.
Some 2,200 Hong Kong residents were evacuated from apartment buildings around the site where the massive explosive was found. Police bomb squads moved in, carefully, to dismantle the bomb. Authorities said it was simply too big to explode in place, which is usually the safest option in such circumstances.
The weapon was identified as an AN-M66, which contains roughly 1,000 pounds of explosives. In World War II, it was considered effective against even hardened targets, such as "pillbox" or fortified gun positions, up to a 50-foot radius from the blast site. And it was lethal to infantry and light tanks up to 330 feet from where it was dropped.
The South China Morning Post says an area within 650 feet was cleared at the site on Hau Tak Lane, including the Cosmo Hotel and Cosmopolitan Hotel on Queen's Road East.
The SCMP says:
"A senior bomb disposal officer, Jimmy Yuen Hon-Wing, of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Bureau, said a US bomber flying out of Guangzhou had carried the bomb and that it must have landed on soft ground and failed to detonate.
"Jackie Akhavan, professor of explosive chemistry at Cranfield University in Britain, said: 'It would cause a huge amount of drama. It will cause fragments and a very large blast wave.' "
Immediately after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, imperial forces moved quickly to snatch up the British territories of Singapore and Hong Kong as part of a broader push to take control of Southeast Asia. After a short but spirited defense by Canadian, British and Indian troops at Hong Kong, the city fell on Christmas Day in 1941.
It seems likely that the bomb in question was dropped during one of a number of U.S. B-24 Liberator raids over Hong Kong during the war.

En español | People may have snickered last month when 84-year-old Playboy founder Hugh Hefner announced that he had asked a 24-year-old Playmate to be his third wife, but a new study shows that more men are staying sexually active in their 70s, 80s, even 90s.
See also: Brand new sex with the same old spouse.
And — something Hef would appreciate — more than 40 percent of sexually active men say they wish they were having sex more often.
The study by Australian researchers of nearly 2,800 men ages 75 to 95 found that nearly half of older men consider sex important in their lives and a third reported having sex at least once within the previous year.
The study was published last month in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
Lead author Zoë Hyde of the Western Australian Centre for Health and Ageing acknowledges that people get uncomfortable talking about sex and older people. Not much research has been done on the subject, and she writes in the study's introduction that "attitudes persist that older persons are not capable of or lack interest in sex."
Based on what her researchers found, however, "a healthy sex life is not only for the young," she says. Hyde says there needs to be greater awareness of sexual fulfillment as an "important quality of life issue for many older people."
"Sadly," she adds, "there seems to be a perception among many people, including some doctors, that it isn't appropriate for older people to be sexually active."
In the study, researchers interviewed men three times about their health and sexual activity between 1996 and 2009. All the subjects lived in a community in western Australia (none were in nursing homes or care centers), and three-quarters were married or in a marriage-like relationship.
Although nearly 49 percent of the men indicated that sex was at least somewhat important in their lives, the research also showed that health problems were often a barrier to remaining sexually active as men age.

When I was a graduate student (and onward), some of my best "learning moments" happened during journal club. I don't know how journal club works in your lab, but in our department there was a rotation of presenters and each week, one person from a group of 25 would be scheduled to pick a paper, distribute it to the group and present the background, methodology, results and related information. At first, all figures were photocopied to acetate and presented on an overhead projector. For those readers of a younger generation, here's what an overhead projector looks like:
Thanks to Wikipedia for the image.
As time progressed and my graduate degree dragged on, PowerPoint came into vogue and we were encouraged to give our presentation using a fancy LCD projector. Approximately 40 to 50 people would attend the presentation including fellow graduate students, lab techs and PIs and the discussion period that followed was considered "no holds barred." Typically, the PIs would get into a heated debate regarding the validity of experimental controls and graduate students would fret that their work was futile and that they were about to be scooped. What I learned the most from these gatherings was the importance of critically evaluating a paper, discussing one's findings with like-minded people and to never consider the written word sacrosanct.
Over the last number of years, social media has revolutionized the journal club experience. Open access journals such as PLoS have allowed for more relaxed publication rules while encouraging a more interactive review process from an engaged scientific community. Then there are sites such as ResearchBlogging.org and ScienceBlogs that provide a voice to scientific bloggers wishing to express their opinions on a variety of scientific subjects while leaving the door wide open for anyone who wants to join in on the public debate. I like to think of these sites as journal clubs on steroids.
One of the most recent additions to the world of the online journal club is the neuroscience journal club The Third Reviewer. The Third Reviewer presents a brief abstract of a study appearing in a respected journal such as Cell, Nature or Neuron and allows readers to comment and debate the merits of the paper. One very nice feature of this system is that it allows the study's authors to respond to comments made by readers which provides a beautiful 360 degree view of the paper which is a much higher educational format than the long-gone days of acetate and overhead.
I encourage readers of this blog to read DrugMonkey's review of some of these sites (and more) which I found quite informative and helpful.
One of our stated goals at The American Biotechnologist is to serve as a place for PIs, grad students and lab techs to network and discuss issues that are important to the general community. I'd be curious to hear how online journal clubs and scientific communities have affected your research and reading habits. Are there any great sites that you would recommend to The American Biotechnologist community?

Older people are also more likely to have medical conditions that can cause pain or discomfort that disturbs their sleep. (Some studies, in fact, have found no significant increase in insomnia in older adults who are healthy.) These conditions include gastrointestinal distress, frequent urination, lung disease and heart conditions. Neurological disorders, such as restless legs syndrome (RLS), Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease, can also affect sleep patterns.
Insomnia not only saps your energy and affects your mood, but also can put your health, work performance and quality of life on a downward spiral. Insomnia can be short-term (up to three weeks) or long-term (four weeks or more). Sleep deprivation can lead to irritability, depression, and memory and attention problems. It also has been linked with diabetes, obesity and heart disease, in addition to increased risk of automobile-related accidents and falls.
The Top 10
Here are 10 types of medications that can cause insomnia. If you're taking any of them and having sleep problems, you should talk with your doctor or pharmacist about adjusting the dosage, changing to another type of medication, or trying an alternative treatment or therapy.
1. Alpha-blockers
Why they're prescribed: Alpha-blockers are used to treat a variety of conditions, including high blood pressure (hypertension), benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and Raynaud's disease. These drugs relax certain muscles and help keep small blood vessels open. By keeping the hormone norepinephrine (noradrenaline) from tightening the muscles in the walls of smaller arteries and veins, they improve blood flow and lower blood pressure. Because alpha-blockers also relax other muscles throughout the body, they can help improve urine flow in older men with prostate problems.
Examples: alfuzosin (Uroxatral), doxazosin (Cardura), prazosin (Minipress), silodosin (Rapaflo), terazosin (Hytrin) and tamsulosin (Flomax).
How they can cause insomnia: Alpha-blockers are linked to decreased REM (rapid eye movement) sleep — the stage of sleep when people dream — and daytime sedation or sleepiness. The proportion of REM sleep drops markedly in old age, and people deprived of REM sleep can experience memory problems.
Alternatives: For older people, benzothiazepine calcium channel blockers, another form of blood pressure medication, are often safer and more effective than alpha-blockers. If the alpha-blocker has been prescribed to treat BPH, talk with your doctor about the possibility of switching to a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor such as dutasteride (Avodart) or finasteride (Proscar), which are safer and generally better tolerated by older patients.
2. Beta-blockers
Why they're prescribed: Beta-blockers are typically prescribed to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms). These drugs slow the heart rate and lower blood pressure by blocking the effect of the hormone adrenaline. Beta-blockers are also used to treat angina, migraines, tremors and, in eyedrop form, certain kinds of glaucoma.
Examples: atenolol (Tenormin), carvedilol (Coreg), metoprolol (Lopressor, Toprol), propranolol (Inderal), sotalol (Betapace), timolol (Timoptic) and some other drugs whose chemical names end with "-olol."
How they can cause insomnia: Beta-blockers have long been associated with sleep disturbances, including awakenings at night and nightmares. They are thought to do this by inhibiting the nighttime secretion of melatonin, a hormone involved in regulating both sleep and the body's circadian clock. Low levels of melatonin have sometimes been observed in chronic insomnia.
Alternatives: For older people, benzothiazepine calcium channel blockers, another form of blood pressure medication, are often safer and more effective than beta-blockers.
A nightly dose of melatonin may also help. A small study published in the journal Sleep in 2012 found that patients on beta-blockers who also took melatonin fell asleep sooner, had more restful sleep, and slept longer — an extra 36 minutes a night, on average — than patients taking an inactive placebo. (This was determined with polysomnography, an overnight sleep test that records brain waves, muscle tone, heart rate and eye movements.)

Mention Peter Lalich to a high school football fan in Fairfax County and you'll likely see a wistful head-shake preceding an exasperated sigh. For many of the area's longtime spectators, the sound of that name conjures memories of a 6-foot-5 gunslinger who often looked more like Tom Brady putting on quarterback clinics than a 17-year-old kid playing prep football games. A more exacting mind would recall the West Springfield High signal caller who racked up a state record 3,275 yards from scrimmage in his 10-game senior season back in 2006.
Yet that same fan would also remember how all that talent went to waste. Rated one of the top five quarterbacks in the country by Rivals.com, Lalich wound up starting for the University of Virginia in his freshman season before being booted from the team for an alcohol violation the following year. He then squandered an opportunity at Oregon State, where another alcohol-related incident derailed further hopes of gridiron glory and all but erased his name from the minds of casual followers.
Those misdeeds form part of the lore of a young man who might ultimately be remembered as a successful NFL quarterback. The Springfield native is now vying to make his way onto football's biggest stage, either through selection in this month's NFL Draft or free agency this summer.
"I believe that if I was standing next to any [quarterback] from the top of the draft, they wouldn't be able to tell the difference," Lalich said.
Lalich's return to relevance has been sparked by a re-dedication to his playing career and an abandonment of the distractions that once threatened to destroy it. While his naysayers cast their attention elsewhere after the Oregon State incident, Lalich revitalized his craft in the unheralded ranks of Division 2 football at California University of Pennsylvania, a program with a history of turning frustrated transfers into productive players.
After redshirting the 2010 season, Lalich embarked on a stellar 2011 campaign that featured a school-record 3,725 passing yards along with 31 touchdown passes and 12 interceptions. He put up 2,413 yards in seven games before his 2012 season was cut short by a staph infection in his hand.
In less than two full seasons as a starter, Lalich led the Vulcans to a 16-4 record and placed himself in fifth place on the school's all-time list for passing yards and touchdowns.
"He's one of a kind," said Mike Kellar, who was an offensive coordinator for 19 seasons before taking over the Cal-U head coaching job last year. "I've coached several quarterbacks who were all-conference, All-Americans, players of the year, and I've never seen anyone from the tangibles to the intangibles to the personality who was quite like Pete."
Lalich's physical tools have always been the first thing to make coaches' heads spin. Standing at 6-foot-5, 235 pounds, Lalich has the size and wherewithal to hold his own with defensive linemen barreling down on him. A pocket passer by nature, his exceptional arm strength allows him to zip passes across his body on the run or chuck 70-yard bombs on a dime.
"Physically he's about as good as you're going to get," Kellar said. "I watched Matt Barkley's pro day yesterday, and I told a couple guys I was with, 'My guy looks just like that, only my guy's bigger.'"
Yet it's Lalich's mental grasp of the game that typically impresses coaches most. Kellar recalls sitting in his office straining to keep up with his former pupil, who frequently took pleasure in inventing complicated plays at the whiteboard. Lalich remains adamant about mastering any concept that could give him an edge on the field, whether it be learning a defender's techniques so that he can better anticipate a pass rush or studying ankle flexion so that he can expend less energy throwing the football.
His intrinsic understanding of the X's and O's was ingrained from an early age, gaining full traction when his parents had a quarterback guru teach him protection schemes in ninth grade. At West Springfield, Lalich used to call his own shots, flourishing in a no-huddle offense that ran scripted plays where they would go five plays in one formation and then five plays in another.
"At that point it was all on the quarterback to make the right decisions of who to throw to," said Bill Renner, a former West Springfield head coach whose son, Bryn, is the starting quarterback at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. "Peter had an understanding to start with on who is number one and who is number two, etcetera, but he got to the point where he could do two-thirds of the games like that because he knew the offense so well and he knew when he came to the line of scrimmage what was a good thing to throw and not throw and where we wanted to run and where not to run. The elite guys have the plays in their brains, and he has that."
Lalich is currently finishing up his master's degree in exercise science at Cal-U while keeping himself fit in case any NFL teams want to put him through individual workouts. He spent January and February training intensively in Miami, Fla., at Bommarito Performance Systems, an NFL Combine/Pro Day prep camp that saw him work out with NFL receivers like Wes Welker and Antonio Brown.
While he wasn't invited to the NFL Combine in February, Lalich participated in Cal-U's Pro Day on March 11, performing in front of scouts from 15 NFL teams. Only two teams — the New York Jets and Green Bay Packers — have conducted in-depth interviews with him so far.
By most accounts, Lalich sits near the bottom of the list of top 40 quarterback prospects being scrutinized for the NFL Draft, which begins April 25. That position has less to do with his skill set on the field than it does with the off-field incidents that cloud his past, starting with the day he was caught playing beer pong at a party at UVa's football house.
The prodigious talent that drew recruiting offers from Miami and Michigan out of high school has left many wondering whether Lalich might be an easy first-round draft choice had he remained a four-year starter at Virginia.
"I'd probably be in an easier situation than I am now," Lalich said. "But I feel like I've grown a lot from all the stuff that happened to me. It's probably best that this is the way it happened."
Lalich asserts that he turned a corner after leaving Oregon State. No longer an immature college kid looking for the next party, he has eschewed his former lifestyle in favor of total dedication to preparation for the NFL.
Whether he's selected late in the draft's seventh round or picked up as a free agent down the line, Lalich says he's just chasing his goal rather than attempting to defy those who doubted him.
"I don't really try to prove them wrong. I just try to do the best I can do," he said. "Even if I do make an NFL team I'm still going to have doubters, so I can't really concentrate on what they say."

Silent Night (2012)
It's the night before Christmas, and not a creature is stirring-except for a psycho axe murderer disguised as Santa. When Sheriff Cooper and Deputy Aubrey Bradimore investigate a horrific mass homicide at a local motel on Christmas Eve, they discover there is a killer Santa Claus on the loose. The officers quickly conclude that the killer is still in the area-but there is one problem: tonight is the annual Santa costume contest, and nearly every guy in town is wearing a red suit and a white beard, including Deputy Bradimore's own father. With the town's body count rising, the race is on to put an end to the jolly old St. Nick's murderous rampage.

I realize that they are both the same machine, but I like the fact that I can take the Miller back to AIRGAS and have it worked on should something go wrong with it. I looked at the Hobart but didn't like the fact that if something went wrong with it and I took it back to Atwoods they would just laugh at me and tell me it's my problem to deal with, not theirs.

A friend of mine has one. Nice machine. But a heavy beast for sure! Probably will last a lifetime.
Dialarc 250 Info
I'm no expert at this but for what its worth:
I have a newer Dialarc 250 w/o power factor correction. I love this machine! It welds like a dream when using it in the mid-range of its power capabilities. The manual says it needs a 125A breaker on 230V. Several times I've run mine at full duty cycle on a 230V/50A breaker at up to 240 DC weld amps using up to 3/16 rods and have had no issues with the input circuit. The wires in the sub-panel get slightly warm, but nothing else. I suppose if you ran it wide-open it might be too much for a 50A circuit. Just make sure your entire 50A circuit is wired with #8 AWG or larger.
BTW: If you do pick one up, think twice about the power factor correction option. It draws a lower current when welding with power factor correction, but it also draws a hefty 23A at idle! (without the PFC it draws only 2.5A at idle). That could make for expensive power bills if you have a lot of idle time. You can tell if the machine has the power factor correction by the model number. Miller can help you out with that.

The Dialarc 250... what else to say its a MILLER
I was raised up in the welding world on that machine.
A PLUS in my book. If you have used one or own one you know what I mean. It's old school and YES I perfer the older machines to the newer ones.
But to each it's own.

What is the expected variability in dose-response among members of the human population?
How should data from subchronic exposure studies be used to estimate chronic effects?
How should problems of differences in route of exposure within and between species be dealt with?
How should the threshold dose be estimated for the human population?
If a threshold in the dose-response relationship seems unlikely, how should a low-dose risk be modeled?
What model should be chosen to represent the distribution of exposures in the population of interest when data relating to exposures are limited?
When interspecies extrapolations are required, what should be assumed about relative rates of absorption from the gastrointestinal tracts of animals and of humans?
For which percentiles on the distribution of population exposures should risks be characterized?
At least partial, empirically based answers to some of these questions may be available for some of the nutrients under review, but in no case is scientific information likely to be sufficient to provide a highly certain answer; in many cases there will be no relevant data for the nutrient in question.
It should be recognized that for several of these questions, certain inferences have been widespread for long periods of time; thus it may seem unnecessary to raise these uncertainties anew. When several sets of animal toxicology data are available, for example, and data are not sufficient for identifying the set (i.e., species, strain, and adverse effects endpoint) that best predicts human response, it has become traditional to select that set for which toxic responses occur at the lowest dose (the most sensitive set). In the absence of definitive empirical data applicable to a specific case, it is generally assumed that there will not be more than a tenfold variation in response among members of the human population. In the absence of absorption data, it is generally assumed that humans will absorb the chemical at the same rate as the animal species used to model human risk. In the absence of complete understanding of biological mechanisms, it is generally assumed that, except possibly for certain carcinogens, a threshold dose must be exceeded before toxicity is expressed. These types of long-standing assumptions, which are necessary to complete a risk assessment, are recognized by risk assessors as attempts to deal with uncertainties (NRC, 1994).

Grimentz has been a hidden gem for a long time but thanks to the new cable car linking with Zinal this traditional village with its blackened wooden grain stores will not be a secret for much longer. The village has its own speciality, vin de glacier, created by pouring the new season's wine into barrels containing the remnants of older vintages.

History or a Future?
"The future is always beginning now."
-Mark Strand, Poet
I walked into my local coffee shop, and heard the words, "There's the history maker." I am so thankful to the Cleveland Indians and the Oakland A's for making my dreams come true and for believing in the message that baseball is a game for all. It's an honor to make history. Humbling, really. But I don't think about making history; I think about creating a future.
The question, I am now being constantly asked is, "What's next?" And I don't really know. And that's the exciting part! We are in a moment of possibilities. And that thrills me.
I think we need to decide what's next. I cannot answer this question alone. We need to decide how we will make sure that baseball is really a game for all. That includes creating girls' teams and leagues through out the country. Giving girls a fair chance to play amongst the boys. And being open to women coaches, umpires, and front office personnel.
It is an honor to make history. But what is important, is what we do now. We are in this moment of possibilities together. Together we are creating our future. And my dream where we can do anything and be anyone is really our dream. And there is such beauty in that. Humbling, really.

Congratulations on achieving one of your dreams! It sounds like you did yourself and everyone proud and had a great time doing it. I am proud of you for blazing a trail for female athletes! I am also proud of the Indians and the A's because it sounds like they welcomed you to batting practice with the same respect as their other batting practice pitchers. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
I'm with Emma, what's next for you?
This is a very simple game…

The unfortunate incident in which a Sandusky police officer shot an killed a dog in a Sandusky neighborhood last month has certainly stirred many among us.
At last count, there were more than 1,500 comments from readers at sanduskyregister.com on various stories about the incident posted at the newspaper's website. That comment count dwarfs the number of comments left by readers below stories about the March 2, 2012, killing of 19-year-old Jacob Limberios. The fact that a video of the dog killing was available probably has a lot to do with the enormous response from readers.
Click here to read past articles about the killing of Jacob Limberios.
It seems readily apparent there might have been a better way to respond to the loose dog complaint. It's a good thing when readers express their opinions on any matter, regardless of how uncomfortable that might make city officials, or anyone else. It also seems the Sandusky Police Department is attempting to address the concerns by being pro-active in reviewing what happened and developing better response protocols for loose dog complaints.
But when it comes to the killing of Jacob Limberios, it seems Sandusky County officials, and special prosecutor Dean Henry, only know one way to investigate: Stonewall.
The Limberios family contracted to have an autopsy done after county officials refused to conduct their own. Dr. Cyril Wecht, a forensic pathologist, concluded there was no way Limberios was holding the gun that killed him. In a phone interview with Henry and Sandusky County sheriff Kyle Overmyer during a "Between the Lines" program Feb.7, we asked Henry about Wecht's autopsy. (Click here to watch the program. The interviews with Overmyer and Henry begin at about the 20-minute mark in the program.)
Question: Have you reviewed Dr. Wecht's autopsy?
Henry: I have.
Question: Did you have any thoughts on the autopsy report?
Henry: I have lots of thoughts on his autopsy report.
Question: Could you share any of those with us?
Henry: Do you have a specific question?
Question: Could you share any of your thoughts with us on the autopsy report?
Henry: No.
A year and a day after he was killed, Henry does not appear anywhere close to wrapping up the probe and filing a report. The Limberios family has been asking for 12 months, "Who killed our son?" The best answer from Henry, so far, has been, "We may never know exactly what happened."
Family pets are beloved. They're dependable. It's understandable why the killing of "Lucy" the dog has stirred so much emotion in the community.
It's more difficult, however, to understand why the killing of Jacob Limberios has not stirred a similar level of concern.

When you are talking about cored wire, I assume you are referring to self shielded or "Innershield" wire because your 210 won't have near enough output to run dual shield effectively. My advise would be to stay inside and use solid wire whenever possible around the farm. When you have to be outside, here are some things to consider: research what type of cored wire you are using carefully and taylor it to your needs; many of your more common innershield wires are NOT designed for multi-pass applications and result in a brittle weld if used for such. I would reserve the cored wire for lighter work unless you make sure to get the right stuff. Also, a little more skill is needed with cored wire when welding out of position. MOST (not all) cored wires need to be run uphill to produce a good quality weld. My personal opinion is that a good engine driven stick welder is more versatile for farm use unless you have a nice shop to work in.

I've got a friend that keeps flux on one of his welders just for outside work..i guess if you can afford it that would be the way to go.

I recently ran out of 75AR/25CO2 and wire at the same time in my dads MM200. We were running a 220 CF bottle with a 33# spool of Esab Dual Shield 7011 Ultra in 0.035. The Esab wire welded great but had to up the gas flow to about 25 CFH to help cut down splatter. When we went for gas, we swapped out to a 120 CF bottle for a little easier handling and ordered a 25# roll of Lincoln Outersheild 71M. I just used it, the Outershield 71M, for the first time the other day; I had been using some regular Hobart Wire till we got the flux core in. The Lincoln wire runs great in the machine and has almost not splatter at all, except when striking the arc. Gas is running at 20 CFH and this stuff just sizzles while it welds. Great out of position welding, puddles great, penitrates good. This stuff was $105 for the spool from Airgas. The Esab 7100 was priced at $225 from the same place. The guy at Airgas told my dad a lot of welding shops in Lubbock were using the Lincoln wire because it welded good and was cheaper and easier to get than the Esab. Esab just settled a labor strike and prices shot way up and supplies were hard to get while the strike was on.
About welding in windy conditions. Use stick if you are outside, unless you have a way to put up a truely reliable wind break. It is possible for you to blow the gas away from your mig when welding by simply breathing to hard under the hood. Any breaze at all can blow the shield gas away. If it is windy out side, especially with a SE, Southerly, or SW wind around my area, I have to shut the shop door down to block the wind. I don't shut it all the way, but enough to block the wind to not interfere while welding. Running stick out side on a windy day, 35MPH+, can mess you up as well.
About voltage. 110/115/120 is how voltage is commonly referred to. Depending on the time of day and the load usage at your place, the voltage in your wall plug can be anywhere from 110 to 120V. My wall sockets generally show around 118 to 120V. But around 5:00pm, when people in the neighborhood start coming home and switching things on in the house, I have seen it drop to 110 to 113 until the line surge levels out and things settle down around 115 to 117. When the demand drops, the voltage goes back to 118 to 120. 220/230/240 V is just the combining of the two 110/115/120 V Single Phase legs to get the higher voltage. People tend to call 110/220V, 115/230V, and 120/240V by what is the most common reading in their area.
The most common 3 Phase in my area is 4-Wire 230V 3 Phase and 480V 3-Wire (Delta) and 4-Wire (Grounded Delta) 3 Phase. The 4-Wire 230V 3 Phase generally has two low legs, 110 to 120V per leg, and is capable of providing 115V and 230V 1 Phase from those to legs, back to ground and/or neutral, if available. The high leg is generally 208V. But when you check from either of the low legs to the high leg, you get 220V to 240V, thus 230V 3 Phase. The 480V 3 Phase tends to check out around 487V to 497V in my area, with no load. Start the pump and check the voltage under load, viola, 480V. Don't have many Wye connections around these parts, not on the farms anyway. I have seen allot of the 277/480V 3 phase in industrial setting, in town, not out in the country, not around here anyway.
Franklin Electric Submersible Motors show a NAMEPLATE VOLTAGE on all of their products. Single Phase Motors tend to be listed as 110 or 220V. Three Phase motors are listed 220 and 460V. The key to them, when the motor is running under a load, is the voltage within 10% of name plate value. My example of the 480V 3 phase checking 497V with no load and checking 480V under a load is within the 10% of name plate. If the NO LOAD was checking 500V or higher, the motor running under a load would be well over 480; have seen a motor running 498V load and 516V no load. That is time to call the power company and have the lineman adjust the buck/boost transformer a bit.
I hope that this dialouge was informative and educational for all.'77 Miller Bluestar 2E on current service truck

Midwest Living Review
Right next door to the Great American Ballpark, the Reds Hall of Fame (which opened in 2005) is worth a side trip, especially for baseball fans and for anyone who enjoys cultural history. We spent our time on the second floor in the permanent exhibits (the first floor contains changing exhibits). Beyond the lobby, you have the option of taking the elevator of stairs. If you can, opt for the stairs because you will see the famous wall of 4,256 baseballs -- representing Pete Rose's record for most major league hits (they're not the actual balls he hit, but are balls used in actual games). You also get a nice view of the river. Allow about an hour or so to walk through the upstairs exhibits. You'll learn about some of the Reds best hitters, fielders, runners, pitchers and managers. Let the kids hang out in the Kids Clubhouse, while you "make the call" in the announcer booth with longtime announcers for the Reds, Marty Brennaman and Joe Nuxhall. Practice your pitching in The Strike Zone, where you can face down a major league hitter and check the speed of your fast ball. Definitely stop inside ultimate Reds' lounge (wood paneled, of course!) and check out all of the memorabilia. It was a thrill to see the three World Series trophies (1975, 1976 and 1990) in the Great Teams room, and to learn about The Big Red Machine of the 70s. The Hall of Fame is the last stop, and it's quite beautiful -- a simple and elegant display celebrating the greatest players in the past 100-plus years. Admission charged.

"I think (our plan) is working. Yes, we got last place. Yes, we were 10 games better," Monfort said. "Yes, we had three pitchers, four starting pitchers, whose winning percentage was 61 percent. So if you had a fifth, just like the other four, and you had a bullpen that did its share of the deal, you would win 98 games. That's a lot of games."
All they need is to rotate fifty-four pitchers with 2-1 records and they'll be 108-54.
to pay $5.5 million to the MLB credit line for past loans
MLB has been loaning money to the Rockies? What the hell?
$3.5 million to cover projected revenue loss from not having the Yankees and the Red Sox play at Coors Field, series that drew huge crowds this past summer at inflated ticket prices.
That's just owners being owners--I'm more troubled by MLB throwing cash at certain teams. For what purpose? Are some teams treated more favorably than others?
Monfort also says the Rockies' revenue is at $170 million and his rule of thumb is to spend 50% on payroll.
Beyond that, you have a bald statement that they try to spend 50% of revenue on payroll. That is very, very low for professional sports!
Bud knows how to make friends. It would be interesting to know the ins and outs of how this loan fund is used and when and by whom and for what
Gotta love the system. Bud takes money away from all teams but then allows them to borrow that money back from him, and with interest too!
Mind you, the Rockies sell premium tickets for teams like the Cubs and Cardinal's also. More than likely they'll just shift the premium tickets to another series.
Beyond that, you have a bald statement that they try to spend 50% of revenue on payroll. That is very, very low for professional sports! The NBA just had a huge lockout to get to that point,

This spectacular poster, from the lens of noted stadium photographer Mike Smith, features the legendary old Cole Field House on the campus of the University of Maryland. From the unique old vaulted roof, to the banners hanging in the rafters, to the red-clad fans packed inside, to the action on the court, it's all here, looking great for your wall.
