Entries sought for state quilt show
The West Virginia Division of Culture and History invites West Virginia quilters to enter its annual Quilts and Wall Hangings Juried Exhibition, which will open May 24 and continue through Sept. 2 at the Culture Center at the State Capitol Complex.
Commissioner of Culture and History Randall Reid-Smith said, "The quilt exhibition in the Great Hall is one of our most popular and colorful exhibitions. Visitors from around the country enjoy the fine handiwork of West Virginians whose creativity and appreciation of tradition are showcased in the quilts and wall hangings we feature."
Hand- or machine-made quilts by West Virginia residents and not shown previously in the exhibition are eligible. Entries must be shipped or mailed no earlier than April 8 and arrive at the Culture Center no later than May 3.
Hand-delivered entries will be accepted between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. April 25-26. Each entrant may submit one quilt and one wall hanging, which must be accompanied by a non-refundable fee of $20 for each entry.
For information or applications, visit www.wvculture.org/museum, or call Betty Gay, exhibits coordinator, at (304) 558-0220, ext. 128.
Cash awards of $750, $400 and $300 will go to first-, second- and third- place winners, respectively, for quilts in the following categories: pieced, appliqued and quilts made with mixed/other techniques and for winners of a general category of wall hangings.
A best of show prize of $100 as well as honorable mention or other non-monetary awards may be given at the judge's discretion.
The Division of Culture and History will provide two purchase awards and add the purchased quilt and wall hanging to the collection of the West Virginia State Museum. Quilters may sell their quilts during the exhibition, but quilts may not be removed until the show ends.
Beverly Fine, a National Quilting Association certified judge from Haymarket, Va., will be the juror for this year's exhibition.
The co-author of "A Guide to Judged Quilt Shows," Fine will lead a workshop titled "A Judge's Guide to a Professional Finish" from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., May 10. Students will learn a step-by-step process for making bindings and facings that will win praise from a quilt judge.
The workshop is limited to 25 participants, with a $20 fee per person required.

5 Creepy Cartoon Fan Theories That Make Way Too Much Sense
Any mentally unbalanced individual can come up with a creepy fan theory about your favorite cartoon -- that's why they're called "fan" theories. However, every once in a while we come across some that are just too compelling to ignore, even if reading them guarantees that we won't sleep for the next month.
So once again we dove into the massive cesspool of deranged interpretations, overanalyses, and obsessive rants that is the Internet and emerged with the most strangely plausible fan theories out there. May our sacrifice allow you to blow your friends' minds the next time you're stoned. (Also, spoilers ahead, dummy.)
#5. Toy Story 3 Is an Allegory for the Holocaust
Toy Story 3 is arguably the darkest film in Pixar's flagship trilogy, but it's still a heartwarming tale about friendship, growing up, and sticking together through the hardest times (like, say, during a Randy Newman song montage). Oh, and also it's about the mass extermination of millions of people in concentration camps.
"Rex, why are you smiling?"
The Theory:
According to film critic Jordan Hoffman, Toy Story 3 is totally about the Holocaust. Then again, in the same article he goes on to make a case for the movie being Marxist propaganda, an existentialist film, and a metaphor for various world religions, so maybe he wasn't being completely serious there. The Holocaust theory is the one that caught the attention of the Internet, though, because of the surprising number of parallels between this lighthearted story about talking toys and one of humanity's greatest tragedies.
Why It's Not That Crazy:
Let's look at the plot: It starts when the Jewish people (represented by the toys) are left behind by their host nations at the onset of World War II (represented by Andy going off to get high and score in college). At this point the toys' leader, Woody, suggests hiding in the attic, Anne Frank style, but they get caught and shipped off to Sunnyside Daycare -- you know, a place where their kind is "concentrated" and routinely mistreated (only by little children instead of Nazis).
Although this kid is probably both.
The abusive toys who live in Sunnyside are the movie's version of the Jewish police who helped push their fellow Jews into trains for Auschwitz. Because of them, the main characters end up on a conveyor belt ... headed straight for the incinerator.
Holy shit, Pixar. There's even a sad scene where the toys grab hands and accept their fate.
"Goddammit, Rex! Why are you still smirking?"
And then, of course, they get saved by toy aliens, who obviously stand for the Allies. The protagonists eventually relocate to a new place where "many of their kind already live and have an established foothold" (Israel/a little girl's house). So there you go: The next time someone tells you they heard an awesome theory about the identity of Andy's mom, you can tell them, "Oh, I know. She's the Gestapo who sent the toys away."
#4. Who Framed Roger Rabbit Is About Segregation
Walt Disney
Who Framed Roger Rabbit, better known to kids as "that movie with Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny" and to teens and adults as "that movie with Jessica Rabbit's gazongas," is set in a world where humans interact with cartoon characters. The film follows human PI Eddie Valiant as he investigates a murder involving Roger Rabbit, which leads us to discover that Judge Doom (a corrupt official played by Christopher Lloyd) wants to kill all the cartoons by submerging them in his "Dip" concoction.
Walt Disney
"It's my special blend of meth, angel dust, and 'Judge juice.'"
The Theory:
The plot we just described is a metaphor for the gentrification and segregation of blacks in Los Angeles, or so claims renowned film scholar "reddit account deleted."
Why It's Not That Crazy:
Short of the filmmakers including a talking crow called Jim to spell it out, the clues couldn't be more obvious. The movie takes place in 1947, at the height of the Jim Crow era, where mandated state and local laws prohibited whites and blacks from having the same shit or being in the same places. Doesn't Toontown, the city where the toons live near Hollywood, feel a little more sinister in that context?
Walt Disney
The cutscene with Eddie and the offensive sandwich board was later used for Die Hard 3.
The villain, Judge Doom, wants to tear down the trolley system to force the toons out of their home so they can build a freeway for the wealthy humans -- that's called gentrification, an issue that remains controversial in LA to this day. Also, most of the cartoons are performers, which of course was one of the "acceptable" occupations for black people at the time. You don't see any cartoon doctors or lawyers ... unless they're pretending to be human, like Judge Doom himself. That makes Doom an Uncle Tom character: a minority who sells out his own race for his personal benefit, like Samuel L. Jackson in Django, only less cartoonish.
Then there's Jessica Rabbit, to whom Eddie is clearly attracted, despite his claims that he hates cartoons. His confusion is representative of the confusion of many white males who lusted after black women despite seeing blacks as inferior.
Walt Disney
Which means your childhood boner was awkward and racist.
And finally, in the movie the word "toon" is treated like a racial slur that humans use to offend cartoon characters. Now say the word out loud but replace the first letter with a "C."
We're telling you, once you start noticing this shit, the world becomes a darker place.
#3. Dexter in Dexter's Laboratory Has Asperger's Syndrome
Cartoon Network Studios
Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory was the envy of every science-minded kid who had to make do with an incomplete junior chemistry set and some hand-me-down LEGO Technics. He had a huge secret lab under his house and seemingly unlimited resources to build anything he imagined -- for instance, his own Dexo-Transformer, which he used to terrorize his bullies in dodgeball.
Cartoon Network Studios
"T-Bag Mode: Engaged."
The Theory:
According to this theory from TV Tropes, Dexter's life isn't as cool as it looks, since he suffers from Asperger's syndrome ... but, you know, so do half the My Little Ponies, probably. If there's one thing the Internet loves more than fake diagnosing itself with Asperger's, it's fake diagnosing its favorite characters with it.
Why It's Not That Crazy:
A strong case can be made for Dexter, though. Look at his personality: He struggles to interact with others socially, has repetitive patterns he adheres to, and has very unique interests -- if Dexter could, he wouldn't leave his lab. These are all signs of Asperger's, as is his baffling pseudo-Austrian accent: A lot of people with this condition sound like foreigners to their own families because they mimic words the way they were pronounced when they first heard them (in many cases, on TV).
Cartoon Network Studios
"The Schwarzenegger marathon ends when I say it ends."
OK, so the kid might be an Aspie, but does that change anything in the show? Actually, it changes everything, because we view all the other characters through Dexter's lens, and people with Asperger's have trouble empathizing with others. He views his sister Dee Dee as a huge dolt, but what if he just doesn't understand girls? His mom appears to have constant mood swings, but could it be that Dexter doesn't know when he's making her angry? Meanwhile, his dad is always a bumbling incompetent, but maybe Dexter is simply disappointed that he isn't a world class genius.
Cartoon Network Studios
He has all that food because it usually takes him three days to remember how to get out of the recline setting.
Then there's Dexter's rival, Mandark, who is practically a supervillain when we first meet him, but becomes a much more sympathetic character when we're not looking at him from the Asperger's-having protagonist's point of view. At any rate, this makes way more sense than the "Dexter becomes a serial killer on Showtime" theory.

G4TV took over the E! News set on Saturday to broadcast four hours of live coverage from San Diego Comic-Con. Here are the clips related to your favorite geektastic TV shows: Community, True Blood, Castle and more!
Amid the panel recaps, cosplay, and nerd-on-the-street interviews, the real meat and potatoes of the experience were the live interviews Kevin Pereira and Olivia Munn conducted from their platform above the convention floor.
First up, Joe Manganiello and Kristin Bauer from True Blood stopped by to talk about sexual Pilates and the crowd-sourced casting of werewolves:
Joel McHale, Alison Brie, and Gillian Jacobs from Community are all very silly, and since G4 and E! share a building in L.A., these guys have a lot to talk about.
Did you know that Daniel Dae Kim filmed the Hawaii 5-0 pilot and his character's big, dramatic exit from Lost at the same time? In this clip, he and Olivia Munn discuss nerd royalty, light sabres, and, um... being Asian!
OK, I love Nathan Fillion, but the dude's starting to show his age. Maybe the star of Castle and Firefly was just wilting from the exhaust fumes rippling off the latex-clad bodies of several thousand sweaty dweebs?
Stay tuned, true believers. In part two, we'll spotlight the best Movie-related interviews from this epic event.

There's formulae for this.

ANYway, the lens is too small for the mag.
It's a cute gift, but a poor tool.
Another way to look at this, look up Barska rifle scopes.
No, they ain't brass. But the advertiser will tell you things like why your view looks like crap if the magnification is too high for a small lens.
For 25 power, I'd like to not get less than a 60mm lens. And even then I'd have to hold very still.

text: Here is a very simple tribal design that I wanted to make to help people learn "how to draw tribal art" without having veins pop out of your head. The design that I included in this lesson is a very simple, too the point concept. There is plenty of points and straight edges as part of the design which means it's going to be ultra cool. The crossover pattern that used for the top portion of the tribal art is one of my favorite aspects of the design. I left the coloring black with a gray colored background but you can choose your own color pallet if you want. I can't wait for you guys to try out this tutorial on drawing tribal, I think you will like how simple I made it. I shall return like always, and like always I will bring something new to the table.

We're happy to host any conversation. Create a group by dylan [dot] walsh [at] thesolutionsjournal [dot] com (emailing us), or sign up to an existing one, and join the conversation.
Featured Group
With the help of a dynamic group of academics, business leaders, and activists, Solutions has recently released a special issue dedicated to creating a brighter future for Appalachia. A new conversation is emerging in Central Appalachian coal country. Many groups are exploring how the region can grow a more diverse and more sustainable economy by reforesting barren mine lands, reclaiming rivers and streams, developing renewable energy industries, and supporting the region's many entrepreneurs. This discussion goes beyond the important goal of creating a restorative enterprise economy; it also includes investing in the region's social capital. Including a diverse range of perspectives, rich historical accounts, and detailed descriptions of solutions already in place on the ground, this Solutions special issue is Appalachia's playbook for an economic and environmental transition.
All content will be available online at the Solutions website. Links to articles in the Appalachia special issue will be posted to this page, and we will encourage authors to use this forum to answer reader questions.
Look out for articles by Wendell Berry, Ecological Design expert John Todd, and Vernon Haltom of Coal River Mountain Watch.
As always, we welcome and encourage the involvement of our readers and invite you to use this online forum to contribute your own thoughts on the future of Appalachia.

Nice deal.
Also, free - printing out a target from a computer...
Was gonna get these, but they seem to be just stickers? Not what I was hoping for.. :(
Just ordered mine. They don't even ask for a credit card like some free offers.
Nice find!
Note that the Website states that you must reply to the order confirmation email even though the email is supposedly a "confirmation" of your order. It would appear that your order will not ship until have you replied. They suggest to reply with just the word "confirmed".
I got an order confirmation email but it didn't say anything about replying to it. I used Paypal to pay the 1 cent and also got an automated email from Paypal about the order. I guess I'll wait and see if I get another email or not.
The stickers are nice to put on targets you've already used to cover the holes, and get more mileage out of the target. I have some of these, and they show up nice outside or at an indoor range. Though, mailing labels or any other kind of sticker works too...

Only minor injuries were reported when a Hummer reportedly crashed through the front of a local medical clinic Wednesday morning.
According to Bartlesville Police Department Chief Tom Holland, the accident occurred at the Generations Medical Clinic office, located in the 3400 block of Tuxedo Boulevard, around 10 a.m.
"A lady pulled in and was going to park and she hit the gas instead of the brake," Holland said. "The vehicle went through the wall and all the way into the office."
Bartlesville police, fire and ambulance personnel responded to the incident but there was only one minor injury reported, Holland said.
"There was only a very minor injury — nothing that was treated," he said.
"I understand that there were some people in that room a few minutes earlier, as well as some children," he said.
Holland said that a City of Bartlesville engineer looked at the wreckage and determined the building was structurally sound.
"They are just going to have to patch the hole," Holland said.
"The woman who was driving the vehicle wasn't cited, as it was a private property accident," Holland said. "We don't cite on private property accidents unless there was obvious reckless driving and this wasn't intentional."

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (cont.)
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease Causes
Pelvic inflammatory disease is most frequently caused by bacteria that are transmitted through sexual contact and other bodily secretions. Bacteria that cause gonorrhea and chlamydia cause more than half of cases. Many studies suggest that a number of patients with PID and other sexually transmitted diseases are often infected with two or more infectious agents, and commonly these are Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Other organisms can also cause PID but are much less common.

Good compromise
To secure a $4.4 million Alliance District grant from the state for school reforms, the Waterbury Board of Education promised to add administrators. Recently, schools Superintendent Kathleen Ouellette and Chief Academic Officer Anne Marie Cullinan each crafted a hiring plan. Counting salaries and benefits, the plans would have cost $900,000 and $480,000 a year respectively.
The price was too high for Mayor Neil M. O'Leary, who killed both proposals. This month, Mayor O'Leary suggested honoring the staffing pledge by hiring retired administrators, who don't require benefits, on a part-time basis.

Is It Time to Ditch Your Workout Gear?
Have your battered running shoes and stretched-out sports bra had enough? Here's when to call it quits with your workout gear
When to toss: After two years of use, or if the plastic looks discolored or brittle.
Help them last longer: Never leave them outside in the sun; The heat will make the plastic wear down faster.

This is great! I hate throwing out workout gear and buying new stuff because, let's face it, I don't really look that great the gym no matter what I'm wearing! But I should definitely invest in some new running shoes.

Dow Caps First 15000 Finish
The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed Tuesday to its first finish above the 15000 level, notching another landmark on the market's four-year-long record run.
Encouraging economic reports from outside the U.S. and new highs on Germany and Japan's stock markets helped send the blue-chip Dow industrials up 87.31 points, or 0.58%, to 15056.20, a new record.
The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index, meantime, added 8.46 points, or 0.52%, to 1625.96, extending its string of all-time highs, while the Nasdaq Composite added 3.66 points, or 0.11%, to 3396.63, its highest finish since November 2000.
Other closely-watched measures of the stock market also leaped to record finishes. The Dow Jones Transportation Average, an index of 20 railroad, shipping and airline stocks that is considered a gauge of business activity, soared 1.6% to a new all-time high. The Russell 2000 index of small-capitalization stocks, meantime, added 0.8% to a new record.

The Dow's push above 15000 comes as investors' confidence in the economic recovery grows. While earnings reports have been lackluster in recent weeks, a strong report on U.S. hiring last Friday helped dispel worries about a slowdown in the economic recovery like the ones the U.S. has suffered in recent spring seasons.
At the same time, the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan have led global central banks in flooding the market with liquidity, forcing investors into riskier assets such as stocks.
Ryan Larson, head of equity trading at RBC Global Asset Management in Chicago, said the recent aggressive action by central banks around the world has been a big part of the reason why stocks have fared so well in the U.S., Asia and Europe so far this year.
"The problems haven't been resolved, but the worries have faded," Mr. Larson said. "It does appear we're moving in the right direction. The Fed and the BOJ remain very accommodative, and that has helped provide a good backstop."
Leading the U.S. gains Tuesday were telecommunications, industrial and utilities stocks. Caterpillar, CAT -0.19 % an industrial giant tied to global growth, rose to lead the Dow components, while J.P. Morgan Chase and Verizon Communications VZ 1.00 % also gained.
Technology stocks, however, lagged as Apple and Google each pulled back. Cisco Systems CSCO 0.03 % fell the most among the Dow components, while Microsoft MSFT 0.84 % retreated as well.
The broad stock advance in the U.S. came on the heels of big stock gains and economic signals from Asia and Europe.
In Australia, the Reserve Bank of Australia surprised investors by lowering its benchmark interest rate by 0.25 percentage point to a record low of 2.75%. In Japan, the Nikkei Stock Average surged 3.6% to a near five-year high, following a long holiday weekend.
In Europe, German manufacturing orders for March rose 2.2%, compared with expectations of a 0.5% decline. Germany's DAX 30 index climbed 0.7% to finish at an all-time high. The Stoxx Europe 600, meantime, gained 0.3% to its highest level since June 2008.
In the U.S., the economic calendar is relatively light. The U.S. Labor Department showed 3.8 million job openings in March. Consumer credit, meantime, increased by about $8 billion in March, well below expectations.
Crude-oil futures gave up 0.6% to $95.62 a barrel, while gold futures lost 1.3% to $1,449 an ounce. The dollar slipped against both the euro and the yen. Demand for Treasurys fell, pushing the yield on the benchmark 10-year note up to 1.783%.
Among stock movers, Fossil FOSL 1.02 % led the S&P 500 components, soaring 9% after the fashion-accessories retailer raised its full-year earnings estimate.
EOG Resources EOG 2.25 % gained after quarterly profits and revenue topped estimates.
DirecTV climbed after foreign exchange-adjusted earnings and revenue both topped expectations.

TOPEKA, Kan. -- A former executive of a high tech company in Manhattan, Kan., has pleaded guilty to wire fraud, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said Friday.
Aaron Madison, 42, former chief operating officer of NanoScale Corporation, pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud. NanoScale is a privately held company that contracted to perform work for the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Together, those contracts accounted for approximately 90 percent of NanoScale's business.
In his plea, Madison admitted that he committed the crime at a time when NanoScale was in financial distress. At times, NanoScale's accounts payable exceeded cash flow and the comp y was having difficulty meeting payroll. From January 2009 to April 25, 2011, Madison attempted to meet NanoScale's ca flow requirements and keep the company in business by defrauding the U.S. government. He created false invoices and used cash from government contracts to meet the company's expenses including monthly payroll. He caused interstate electronic transfer of false invoices to the Department of Defense and the Department of Health and Human Services.
Sentencing is set for Nov. 13. He faces a maximum penalty 20 years in federal prison and a fine up to $250,000.
Grissom commended the Department of Defense, Office of Inspector General, Assistant U.S. Attorney Christine Kenney and Assistant U.S. Attorney Rich Hathaway for their work on the case.

We have a stored proc which takes the backup from a database to the specified location. Sometimes the backup process runs more than once. It causes having more than one backup set on the same file name. When we write T-SQL to restore the target db using this backup file, how can we tell SQL to restore the latest db backup set on the target database (using the T-SQL command)?
When we restore the backup using MS SQL management studio, we can simply select the back up set we want to restore. But I need to run the restore using T-SQL and wondering how can determine SQL uses the latest db backup set to restore. For example from the image below, I want to restore the last backup set (highlighted in yellow):
I checked this website, but couldn't find the answer. I appreciate it if you could help.

TORONTO - City high school senior Mindy Morris recently was chosen as one of the 2012 Division of Art Scholarship recipients from West Liberty University.
Morris, granddaughter of Wilford and Rosemary Swearingen of Toronto, earned the four-year arts scholarship, which includes $4,500 annually to help with tuition and books as well as a housing waiver.
The scholarship competition was open to all graduating seniors and was not limited to residents of West Virginia. Scholarship applicants were required to submit an application for admittance to WLU and present a portfolio of at least six pieces of original work to earn the scholarship, according to Morris.

AWARDED SCHOLARSHIP— Mindy Morris, Toronto High School senior, recently was awarded a 2012 Division of Art Scholarship from West Liberty University. Morris hopes to become an art instructor once she finishes her education. - Mark Miller
"(The scholarship) is awarded to four of five students about to graduate from different school districts - not just Toronto," she said. "I was interviewed by all the art teachers at West Liberty (as part of the application process). I submitted some colored pencil drawings, a few charcoal sketches and pen-and-ink (artworks)."
The university art faculty judged the portfolios Dec, 3, said Morris, adding the judges made their decision Dec. 10. She said judges seemed impressed with her abilities in different art mediums.
"The judges thought my artwork was interesting," Morris said, adding she was interviewed by eight art teachers at the university. "They asked if I liked teaching as well as creating art. I enjoy teaching kids."
Toronto High School art teacher Amanda Speece said Morris is an exceptional student.
"(Morris) is a creative thinker and really has an eye for art," said Speece. "I'm impressed by her abilities and motivation. She always puts forth her best efforts in all her work. She's a great helper in the classroom, whether it's helping another student with a project or lending an ear to a student who needs a friend. I think she will make an excellent art teacher. She is kind, thoughtful and inspiring."
Morris said Speece also has been a big influence on her and inspired her to want to become a teacher.
"(Speece) inspired me to do this," said Morris. "She's an amazing teacher, and I want to be an art teacher."

The Newman Civic Fellows Award honors inspiring college student leaders who have demonstrated an investment in finding solutions for challenges facing communities throughout the country.
Through service, research, and advocacy, Newman Civic Fellows are making the most of their college experiences to better understand themselves, the root causes of social issues, and effective mechanisms for creating lasting change.
The Urban Fellows Program is a highly selective, nine-month fellowship which combines work in Mayoral offices and City agencies with an intensive seminar series that explores current urban issues impacting public policy.
Program participants are diverse and come from all over the country to work in New York City. After participating in an extensive interview process, New York City Urban Fellows are placed at an array of agencies across the City where they learn about public policy through a hands-on approach. This knowledge is supplemented by a series of workshops that help promote a deep understanding of the structure of New York City government.
The program seeks to ensure that every Urban Fellow comprehends the intricacies of City, State and Federal finance and the interaction between these levels of government.
During the year, these lessons are further enhanced by group trips to Washington D.C. and Albany, where Fellows meet face-to-face with representatives and policy-makers who help shape life in New York City.
Fellows receive a stipend of $30,000 plus health insurance.
The NYC Teaching Fellows program recruits talented individuals from a broad range of personal and professional backgrounds who are passionate about making a difference in the lives and futures of New York City public school students.
Fellows typically have no prior teaching experience, but possess the skills and attitudes that enable them to become successful teachers in New York City, the largest and most diverse school system in the country.
The NYC Teaching Fellows program is designed specifically to provide Fellows with the training, support, and resources needed to succeed as teachers in New York City public schools.
Teaching Fellows are ready to make a difference in the lives of their students starting on their first day in front of the classroom.
One of the benefits of becoming a Teaching Fellow is enrollment in a subsidized master's degree program. Rather than complete a traditional teacher education program prior to entering the classroom, Fellows pursue a master's degree in education while teaching full-time in a New York City public school.
Once a Fellow has successfully completed pre-service training, s/he is eligible to be hired as a full-time teacher in a New York City public school with the same starting salary and benefits as other beginning teachers.
Fellows also receive additional financial benefits, including a stipend during pre-service training and eligibility for AmeriCorps Education Awards. Salaries are based on prior teaching experience as well as Fellows' undergraduate and graduate education. A Fellow with only a bachelor's degree and no additional coursework can expect to earn an annual salary of $45,530.

Why Matt Harvey Is Not Dwight Gooden
There are times when it seems like Matt Harvey would be even better than he is if he were less of a pitcher and more of a thrower. The man can reel off 98 mile-per-hour fastballs at the letters at will when he's in a tight spot, and so watching him nick corners and change speeds is like watching Carmelo Anthony pass and set picks: not what you're paying for and totally beside the point.
Harvey is a strikeout artist, already one of the best ever when going by the raw numbers. Among all starting pitchers who have pitched at least as many innings as he has, only three have bettered his 10.4 strikeouts per nine innings, and just four did so through age 24. Since K-rate is usually considered the single best predictor of how well a pitcher will age, from this angle the inevitable comparisons to past Mets greats like Dwight Gooden, Nolan Ryan and Tom Seaver make sense.
What this ignores, though, is that Harvey is pitching at a time when strikeouts mean less than they ever have. He is obviously brilliant, but the expectations may already be unfair.
Over the last two years, strikeouts are at a historic high, reaching 7.7 this year, a rather abrupt rise of 10% above what they were in 2009. There are a lot of explanations for why this has happened—sabermetric theory negating the stigma of the strikeout, new batting philosophies that prize sitting on a given pitch, the increased use of short relievers—but the result is that whiffs have doubled since the heyday of Stan Musial and Jackie Robinson.
The increase isn't unprecedented—the major league K-rate rose by around 33% between 1951 and 1960—but it is disorienting. For most of the time I've been watching baseball, a strikeout rate of 6.9 would have indicated a reasonably hard-throwing starter. Over the last two years it's the mark hit by Paul Maholm, a classic junkballer.
What this means is that Harvey's historic strikeout numbers are, in all, a bit less historic than they seem.
His K-rate of 10.0 per game is, on its own, the sixth-best such mark by a 24-year-old in major-league history. If you divide individual rate by league rate, though, it comes out that he's striking out a third more hitters than average—impressive, but no better than what Brett Myers did with the Philadelphia Phillies in 2005, and nothing close to what Gooden did at 19, when his K-rate was more than twice as high as the league's.
This is no kind of bad thing. Along with Myers, Harvey's strikeout rate at his age puts him in the company of Steve Carlton, Roger Clemens and Pedro Martinez, who all went on to have pretty good careers. But in context, he isn't quite the peerless machine he may seem.
The paradox is that this may mean he has room to grow.
Much of Harvey's success so far has been driven by an absurd and unsustainably low batting average on balls in play of .230. It's just in the nature of things that this is going to rise and consequently lead to speculation about whether the league is figuring him out and so on.
His strikeout rate, though, could also rise. Leaving aside what he's done statistically, he's a classic power pitcher, with that high, riding fastball and a set of breaking pitches that dive down and in just under the hands. There's no obvious reason why Harvey, with a little more experience, shouldn't strike out as many batters relative to the league as Tim Lincecum did in 2008 or Mark Prior did in 2005.
Some of what he loses as hitters do better when they make contact, then, could be offset by him simply allowing even fewer of them to do so. This would leave him an even more effective pitcher than he already is—not necessarily the peer of a young Gooden or Seaver, but quite comparable to David Cone, the last pitcher who made this kind of impact on his first run as a Mets starter, and one whose development in his mid-20s tracked this exact pattern.
Cone isn't necessarily the first name that comes to mind when dreaming on a young pitcher, but he was a Cy Young Award winner and five-time All-Star who at various times led the league in wins, strikeouts and innings, played for five World Series champions and had a better claim to being a Hall of Famer than he ever got credit for. He was a thrower who became the pitcher of all pitchers. If Harvey has half his career, he'll have done incredibly well. Whatever happens, it will be worth the watching.

= Julia Draznin Maltzman, MD, OncoLink Senior Editor
: Thank you very much for agreeing to this interview. I know that this is only days before you leave for Italy for the summer, and so I appreciate your time and patience.
I must say your story is a moving tale of health triumphing over sickness. Your story is one of a wife married to an accomplished and well-respected oncologist, and of a talented, world-renowned chef by her own right. You cooked alongside Julia Child, made multiple television appearances, and published many of your own recipes. You also suddenly and rather unexpectedly developed breast cancer.
I have been looking forward to speaking with you to learn more about your experiences, not only how you handled it on a practical level, but also on a more emotional, and perhaps even irrational level. This is, of course, often the most challenging aspect. I believe that your story will add a more human face to cancer and would be welcomed by OncoLink readers.
: Dr. Caggiano, where are you practicing now? I understand your area of focus is breast cancer?
Dr. Caggiano: Yes, I work at the Sutter Cancer Center in Sacramento, California. I am currently semi-retired. I see many patients for second opinions and conduct many clinical trials, but on a limited basis now. I used to see breast cancer, multiple myeloma, and lymphoma [patients], but have now narrowed my work to primarily breast cancer.
: Please describe to me how the diagnosis was made and take me through your initial steps in trying to understand what happened. I would actually like to hear from both of you so please, one of you can start and the other can feel free to chime in at any point.
Mrs. Caggiano: Well, I'll start. I actually had a mammogram earlier that year which was, of course, negative. I remember well, it was a hot summer day and I was outside. Something fell onto my breast and I brushed it off. As I did so, I felt a small lump. I knew this should not be there and I waited for Vincent to come home and showed it to him. I was scared and felt very inconvenienced by it, really. I mean, I had a very busy life and had no time for cancer. I was also extremely upset and apprehensive about it. After all, I am the wife of an oncologist who is supposed to protect me from all of this.
Dr. Caggiano: Biba had a fine needle aspiration (FNA) done very quickly. This confirmed the diagnosis, and she went on to a lumpectomy with a sentinel lymph node (SLN) dissection. Her tumor was 2.0 cm in size with one lymph node involved with micro-metastatic disease. It was also hormone receptor positive. So, she was a stage II at diagnosis. That was four years ago. She was treated by one of my good friends and great colleagues. She got four cycles of doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide. This was before [the era when] we were giving a taxane for node positive disease. The chemotherapy was followed by radiation therapy and hormone treatment. Initially Biba took tamoxifen for three years, and now she has been switched to exemestane, which she is currently taking.
: Tell me about your first few treatments.
Mrs. Caggiano: I remember, after the first treatment, I had horrible nausea and vomiting.
Dr. Caggiano: Both acute and delayed. So for the second cycle they added more anti- nausea medication. Later she developed a metallic flavor in her mouth and lost all taste for food. This is very important to Biba, who has her own restaurant here in Sacramento. This side effect prompted a total dietary change for her. She changed many recipes and tried to deal with this new and somewhat unexpected side effect. Luckily, she never developed neutropenic fevers. But lack of taste was a very disturbing side effect of chemotherapy for her. After all, it took her away from her passion and that which makes her happy and fulfilled.
Despite all these side effects of therapy, I encouraged her to go back to work. I did not want her to become isolated, desperate, and emotionally depressed. She returned to running a restaurant, despite the risks of neutropenia and potential infections. But maintaining normalcy in your life is just as much [a part] of therapy as is chemotherapy and radiation. She did lose all her hair, but continued working in the restaurant throughout the therapy.
Dr. Caggiano: You know, this is something that, as a physician, I paid very little attention to, but it was a significant issue in my wife's life. She is in the food business. Food is her life and passion. She needs to come up with menus, taste foods, direct her chefs, and so on. She was unable to do her job -- she needed her chefs to taste for her. This is a perfect example of how chemotherapy can affect different people differently.
Mrs. Caggiano: Fatigue was another difficult side effect. One day I found that I could not complete one flight of stairs from the restaurant to my office. I just could not continue. I needed to get medicine that would help me with these side effects.
: What was your level of familiarity with this disease as an oncologist's wife? Had you known anyone with the disease before? Had you seen or met any of your husband's patients?
Mrs. Caggiano: No, not personally. But after I was diagnosed, I met thousands of people in my restaurant that had cancer. My restaurant is very close to the cancer center and many of [the patients] frequent my restaurant. You know, I never liked wearing a wig, and I used to wear a cap. When I would greet people in my restaurant, they would immediately take out their caps and tell me that they too went through chemotherapy and treatment. It was a very bonding experience. All of a sudden, people I did not previously know were sharing with me personal parts of their lives, and we could relate to one another. I got lots of attention and it was very therapeutic for me, as it turns out. My husband did suggest to me to return to work as soon as I could – just to keep my life as normal as possible. He was right. It made me feel better to go to work. I felt like I was doing something, being productive, it kept my mind off the disease, and it turned out to be very therapeutic to meet all these people who have had similar experiences and [who] went through the same sort of treatments. I had special dishes made up for those people undergoing therapy who had metallic tastes and needed to modify their diets. I had to cut out certain ingredients. I had to eliminate everything that is spicy, citrus, and anything with a strong taste. I actually have some of my new recipes online.
: But you must have benefited from the fact that you have an oncologist in the family by asking him things like, "Is this normal?", "Should I feel this way?", "What should I expect again from this?" etc. Things for which other patients may have to either call the office, search the Internet, or ask friends who have gone through the experience previously.
Mrs. Caggiano: Well, yes, of course. I did ask Vincent many, many questions, and at any time I wanted. It is not like other people who have questions and have to write them down and ask their doctor at the next visit. I could ask my husband right away.
Dr. Caggiano: I did explain things over and over again and in a step-wise fashion. Often, patients hear what they want to hear and not what you said, and this also happened to my wife. So I was available to explain things again and again when she needed it. I must say that I think patients expect to get a good doctor who knows the right treatment, but they also need physicians to pay more attention to quality of life. I think the most important thing that I recommended to my wife is to stay active. Not to isolate herself in this disease. I think that is the most important thing for people with any serious illness. We as physicians do not pay enough attention to the quality of life of our patients, but for them it is the most important aspect. Fatigue, loss of hair, loss of taste, etc, these are all issues they must deal with when they leave our office. Going through this illness with Biba certainly gave me a much greater appreciation for the importance of paying attention to such issues.
: Do you have children? How did they understand the situation, and what role did they play during the course of the illness?
Mrs. Caggiano: Yes, we have two daughters who are married, and each has two children. They were in their 30's when this happened, and they were shocked watching me go through this trauma. I mean, we all knew I was going to lose my hair, but I did not believe it until it really happened. They were very supportive. We are a very close family. They visited often and helped when needed.
: What were some of the low points of your ordeal/therapy?
Mrs. Caggiano: Certainly the weakness, the loss of hair, and the thought of having to go through yet another chemotherapy treatment. I also did not like radiation therapy. While I was sitting in the waiting room and looked around me at all the other cancer patients waiting for their treatments, I really felt like I did not belong there. Like I was at the wrong place or something.
Dr. Caggiano: I think another difficult part was [that] after the diagnosis was made, the feeling that every little ache, bump, and pimple was cancer. I still often have to reassure [her].
: What were some of the high points of your ordeal/therapy? Or were there any?
Mrs. Caggiano: Definitely, the completion of therapy. When I was finally done with everything and was able to taste things again. My sense of taste returned about 2-3 months after the completion of therapy.
Dr. Caggiano: For me the high point was when I saw Biba return to the restaurant, seeing and talking with her customers. I felt then that she was doing well – emotionally, psychologically, and of course, physically.
: How, if at all, has this experience changed your oncology practice or the way that you interact with breast cancer patients?
Dr. Caggiano: I now understand better the navigational support that patients need as they are going through this ordeal. One year before Biba was diagnosed, I hired an RN who sees all the newly diagnosed breast cancer patients. She tells them everything: who they see, how the surgical drains work, what cream to use on a radiation burn, diet, bandages, physical therapy for lymphedema, everything. She helped us tremendously. I found that she knew things that I did not. She was invaluable to us, and we were already at an advantage, as I treat people with breast cancer. I now understand how important this is for patients.
: How has this experience influenced your life as individuals, as a couple, and as family?
Mrs. Caggiano: I am an Italian. I am a realist. I know that there are no guarantees in life. I am very healthy now, and, you know, I am 68 years old. If I can keep going for another 10 years, that's great.
OncoLink would like to thank Dr. and Mrs. Caggiano for sharing their cancer experience with the world, so that others might benefit from their story and find inspiration from their lives.

Italian Matcha DonutsOur Italian Matcha Donuts take their inspiration from a traditional Italian treat; on St. Joseph's Day, street vendors sell delicious rice donuts like these all over Italy.
[Makes about 20 donuts]
Aiya Cooking Grade Matcha........ 2 tbsp
Rice................................................ 3/4 cup
Water.............................................. 2 cups (17oz)
Salt.................................................. a pinch
Baking Powder...................................1 1/2 teaspoon
Sugar...................................................2 tbsp
Flour (Cake or All Purpose)............ 1/2 cup
Lemon Zest..................................... 1/2 lemon
Vanilla Extract................................. a dash
Oil for Frying.................................... as needed
Aiya Cooking Grade Matcha......... for coating
Powdered Sugar.............................. for coating
Note: If you find using rice makes the donuts too mushy, you can use flour instead. Just be careful! Put too much flour and they might come out hard!
- Put the water and salt into a pot with the rice and simmer on low until it takes on a porridge-like consistency. Place in a cool place and allow it to ferment overnight.
- Sift the matcha, sugar, and flour together and mix into the rice. Allow the mixture to ferment longer until it increases to about double its size.
- Mix in the lemon zest and vanilla extract.
- Pour the cooking oil into a heavy bottom stock pot and heat. Once the oil is hot, use a spoon and scoop balls of dough into it. Fry until they are done - the dough will float to the top. Take care not to drop the batter into the oil too forcefully so as to not splash yourself.
- Remove the finished donuts from the oil with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain any excess oil. Sift some matcha and sugar over them while they are still hot so the coating sticks nicely.

Federal authorities filed a lawsuit Thursday accusing Lt. Gov. Steve Henry, an orthopedic surgeon who plans to run for governor next year, of defrauding Medicare and Medicaid.
The allegations stem from Henry's role supervising orthopedic residents, or surgeons in training, at the University of Louisville.
Under federal regulations, supervising physicians must be physically present during surgery to legally bill the two government programs for their time. Thursday's lawsuit, brought under the False Claims Act, alleges Henry improperly billed for 44 surgeries it says he missed.
All 44 surgeries were between 1996 and 2001 — years following Henry's 1995 election as lieutenant governor.
Each incident described in the lawsuit outlines Henry's whereabouts at the time. Most show the Democrat attending political functions when the surgery was performed, including an Oct. 10, 1996, surgery the lawsuit shows listed for the same hours it says Henry was awaiting the arrival of President Clinton at a political rally.
Henry called a news conference for Thursday afternoon to respond to the lawsuit.
He has said he intended to continue exploring a run for governor despite any legal action by federal authorities.
Gov. Paul Patton, embroiled in his own scandal over allegations that he used his office to assist and then retaliate against a business owner with whom he had affair, is barred by term limits from seeking re-election.
The case against Henry had been investigated for possible criminal violations, but U.S. Attorney Stephen Pence said in September that he would not seek an indictment.
He said that he delayed filing the lawsuit at the request of Henry's lawyers but that settlement discussions had ``not been fruitful.''
Under the False Claims Act, the government is allowed to triple the amount of damages to the state. Pence estimates the loss to the state at $60,000 — tripled to $180,000. The lawsuit also seeks a penalty between $5,000 and $11,000 for each claim, boosting the total to between $400,000 and $600,000, Pence said.
Most investigations under the act have involved Medicare, which pays for health care for the elderly and also provides billions of dollars to the nation's teaching hospitals for medical education.

Russians cast ballots at a polling station in Russian Far Eastern port of Vladivostok, Dec. 2, 2007. In a vote stretching over 11 time zones and 22 hours, Russia votes on Sunday with great official fanfare, but doubtful enthusiasm, in a parliamentary election so dominated by President Vladimir Putin's party that the opposition is virtually invisible. (AP Photo)
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) _ Members of the technical and professional
union at Spirit AeroSystems in Wichita will decide whether to
accept a new contract at the company.
The vote will be held at 5 p.m. Monday at Curtis Middle School.
Members of the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in
Aerospace's Wichita Technical and Professional Unit will also
decide whether to authorize a strike.
The Wichita Eagle reports that the union says the 9{-year contract includes $2,000 signing bonuses, annual raises starting next year, participation in the Spirit Incentive
Plan and increased restrictions on Spirit's use of contract labor.

This post won't help my Canadian readers, but perhaps it will be of some use to all you Americans (and anyone else celebrating Thanksgiving some time soon). First, let me apologize for the lack of a picture (of food--this is from our fall hiking trip). I was all ready to snap a pic of the feast when I realized my battery was dead. Sigh. For the entree I made the Thanksgiving Mini Pot Pies than I blogged about a few days ago. I made a triple batch of the roasted mushroom gravy to pour over absolutely everything. Both the pot pies and the gravy went over very well with vegans and omnis alike. I was afraid that the pies would be a little redundant, but that really wasn't the case. The other problem was how to serve the pies since they were baked in a ramekin. I placed them off centre on the plate, then piled all the other dishes around the ramekin--it worked perfectly. The other dishes were pretty standard: mashed potatoes, baked yams, acorn squash, peas, carrots, and corn. I also made stuffing, though it I didn't stuff it anywhere. First, I made Peter Reinhart's Italian Bread recipe, subbing the water in the dough (not the starter) with pureed pumpkin. The result is a wonderfully soft and golden loaf. I cubed the bread and tossed it with onions and celery that had been sauteed in olive oil. I seasoned it all with sage, thyme, and salt and pepper, and added raisins and dried cranberries and baked at 350 in a greased pan for about 1 hr and 15 mins.

I've definitely had the same thing happen to me with the camera so no worries. :-) I love the substitution of pumpkin. That sounds delicious.

Oh, that sounds delicious! I will sure try your breading recipe this year! Thanks!

Hi. I'm not vegan but I'm not big fan of meat too. I try to persuade my family that there are also other options than meat but usually I'm not very successful. Thanks for some inspiration for cooking without meat. However, I can't imagine Thanksgiving without turkey. Usually I make it little bit dry but nobody complains. BTW beautiful picture from your trip.
Take care,

6 Tips to Avoid Ticks
3 of 8
Pre-Treat Clothing and Shoes
Use products that contain permethrin on clothing, boots, and gear. Clothes will stay protected through several washings.
Clothing that has already been pre-treated is also available in many sporting goods stores, and can stay protected for up to 70 washings.
Wear long pants and socks with either sneakers or hiking boots, with your pants tucked into your socks, and a long-sleeved shirt tucked into your pants.
Wearing light-colored clothing also makes it easier to spot a tick crawling on you.
