MESA, Ariz. -- What do you see when look at Alfonso Soriano?
Do you see a world-class talent done in by insouciance?
A misunderstood artist hampered by circumstances?
An archetype defined by expectations and salary?
An example of the worst kind of profligate spending?
Soriano is the Rorschach test of the North Side. He represents something for everyone.
For every defender, there are 10 detractors. For every person who goes to Wrigley Field to boo Soriano, there are 30,000 ready to explode when the Chicago Cubs left fielder yanks a slider onto Waveland Ave.
Four years ago, Soriano was the high-priced savior of a flailing franchise and a soon-to-be parting gift from the Tribune Co. to the fans, who suffered through three declining seasons following a heart-wrenching playoff exit that symbolized a big-market run for that elusive World Series title.
The Soriano deal, $136 million for eight years and purposely backloaded so the Tribune wouldn't have to pay the freight on the deal, was made to lift the Cubs out of the doldrums of a 66-win season, but now it's derided as a classic big-market folly -- too much money, too many years following a contract season.
Soriano, still owed $76 million for the next four years, evenly divided into $19 million annual salaries, says he's in good shape now, and you want to believe him, because you know he's played through pain in his four years in Chicago, even if everyone knows Soriano is an optimist.
He's also a physical marvel. Soriano's ripped physique belies the trauma done to his legs the last four years and the toll it has taken on his game.
"Have you seen that hole in his leg?" a friend of Soriano's asked me in Arizona. (The friend has worked in baseball and known Soriano since he made it to the majors, but preferred to remain anonymous.)
The "hole," the friend said, is where Soriano tore a quad muscle in early August 2007, causing him to miss a few weeks during the Cubs' stirring pennant chase.
He came back to put up record numbers for the franchise. He hit 14 homers in 28 September games, batting .320 with a 1.108 OPS, to help the Cubs win the NL Central.
The injury was reported as a strain (a strain is a tear, of course), but it was always more severe than he let on, the friend said. Soriano never really recovered from that injury and several other leg injuries followed, chipping away at the 46-homer, 41-stolen base talent he brought to Chicago.
Soriano has clued reporters in to his injuries before, but hasn't broadcast them to the world. In 2008-09, he played in 226 games. Last year he played in 147, and had a decent statistical rebound from the previous season.
"He loves to play," Cubs manager Mike Quade said. "I'm sure he was having more fun when he could run and his bottom half was better, and I think that's affected his hitting too. But he comes to the park with a smile on his face, ready to play."
Soriano is unfailingly positive. He starts nearly every conversation in English in agreement with his questioner by saying, "Yeah, yeah." He is, despite the instincts of the crabby fan, a good influence in the clubhouse. And he desperately wants to play like the Soriano of 2006.
"The problem is, the last four years I play here something happens," he said. "I never played 100 percent. I hope that this is the year I play 100 percent and make the team better."
Quade coached the outfielders and third base before taking over for Lou Piniella late last season. He knows Soriano's limitations, and he accepts them.
For instance, most major league outfielders, the good ones anyway, have played that position since childhood, developing a well-drilled set of "instincts" along the way. Soriano was moved to left field in 2006, and he wasn't exactly Ryne Sandberg at second base. He has a hose for an arm, but that's his only real plus.
"He has covered some ground," Quade said. "As long as people understand he just doesn't run like he used to, he works on his defense every day. Is he going to win a Gold Glove? I don't think so. But he's catching what he needs to catch. He's actually throwing better this year than what he did last year."
After two very solid offensive years, the injuries have taken a toll on Soriano's production. He had a terrible 2009 which ended in knee surgery, and to a lot of people, Soriano epitomizes the fallen hopes of a schizophrenic
franchise that brings in fans by the busload to experience Wrigley Field while forever coming up short for the real fans.
But this is a new start. Soriano remains optimistic about the season, and he is singing the praises of his new manager.
"This year it feels more relaxed," he said at his locker at HoHoKam Park last week. "I think we have a good team and I think the manager makes everyone relaxed here. That's the big difference, the communication he has with the
players. He's a very exciting guy, a very happy guy.
"I'm not saying Lou was a bad guy, but Lou was a little different, to me. Lou's all about winning and that's not bad. But we can't win 162 games. Lou was always happier when we won, but if we lost, he wasn't happy. We're not happy if we lost, but we understand we can't win 162 games. Quade is totally different. If we lose a game but we play good, he's happy because he understands we play good. So maybe we play good again tomorrow and we win."
That seems like a silly statement at its face -- "Lou wanted to win too much!" -- but baseball is unlike any other sport. Good teams have to possess the equanimity to forget about losses. Only head cases let bad outings linger for more than a night.
A manager has to know when to be calm and when to rage. By the end Piniella was worn out with his team, and vice versa. Those things happen.
One way we'll see if this bond holds is how Quade handles sitting the outfielder. Quade said he will try to rest Soriano occasionally to preserve his health. But he knows that will be easier said than done.
"He's normally not a happy guy on those days," Quade said. "The guy I've had that's most like Sori in that regard was Miguel Tejada. Miggy wanted to play every day."
Quade, a former A's third-base coach, goes into a story about Tejada telling Oakland manager Ken Macha he couldn't take a day off because he was "right behind Ripken" in consecutive games played. He really believed he could catch Cal Ripken's record, Quade said with an equal dose of admiration and humor.
"I like to play every day, because that's my job," Soriano said. "I like to play the game, not sit on the bench and watch the game."
Soriano doesn't expect fans to lighten up on him anytime soon. That's a mature attitude.
"You know, those fans, they love the game," he said. "They want me to do well. So when I strike out or do something wrong, they boo. But you know, everyone is going to have a strikeout. We have 162 games and no one is going to win 162 games. That's why I don't even think about what the fans do to me. It's part of the game. We want to play perfect. That's what I think in my mind, I want to play perfect, I want to play hard. But we're not perfect."
Soriano's certainly not perfect, which is what aggravates fans, broadcasters, management, etc. He still watches the flight of a deep fly ball at the plate, he will make baserunning errors or show a lack of patience.
But he's trying to improve. For instance, he's been hitting the ball toward center and right for power at camp, rather than trying to pull everything to left.
"I think it's a point of emphasis between [hitting coach] Rudy [Jaramillo] and him," Quade said. "Seeing him as a younger player, and a lot of people don't realize this, but he hit a lot of balls to right center. More than I've seen here."
Soriano's occasional nonchalance in the field doesn't translate into his personal life. He took in Starlin Castro when the rookie joined the club last May, and the shortstop is extremely grateful.
"He's a really nice guy," Castro said. "He's the best. He's the nicest guy I've seen in my life, in baseball. He signed for a lot of money, but when you stay with him he doesn't look like a guy that thinks 'I'm pimp,' you know what I mean?"
It was an easy call for Soriano to offer to house his fellow Dominican.
"When I used to play with the Yankees, all those guys, Mariano [Rivera], [Derek] Jeter, Bernie Williams, they opened up for me," he said. "They did a lot of good things for me. They make me a better player, a better person. Those guys do that for me, now I feel like I have to do that for young guys who make the big leagues. Somebody did it for me and I do it for Castro, so I hope in four or five years he does it for somebody else."
Soriano's influence must not have been too bad; Castro had a rookie season that augurs well for his future.
But while Soriano loves living in Chicago and Miami, his real home is in Quisqueya, a suburb of San Pedro de Macoris in the Dominican Republic. He goes back during the offseason -- he lives in a gated community near the Cubs' complex -- and mingles with old friends and relatives.
"He has the same group of friends," his friend marvels. "Whenever we go back there, I joke 'Why aren't we hanging out with the president or something?'"
Soriano's foundation helps feed and clothe the children of his town of 30,000 and beyond. For the past couple years, he's purchased book bags filled with school supplies for every kid. On Three Kings Day, he gives out toys to every child in the town. This past winter, he saw a picture of himself with schoolchildren and noticed how many were barefoot.
"He called me up and told me to buy 500 pairs of shoes," the friend said.
"I feel better to do it, but at the same time it breaks my heart to see those kids," Soriano said. "If I don't help those kids, who's going to help them? It's very sad, but at the same time I feel happy I'm there for them."
Three Kings Day is also his mother's birthday. Andrea, who raised him by herself, died this past January of a sudden heart attack, two weeks after her birthday and one week after he took her, and his family, to Disney World. Andrea had never been there before.
With his mother in mind, Soriano plans on increasing his charitable involvements in Chicago, focusing on helping single mothers. Soriano is married (and previously divorced) and has six kids.
"I start doing this because of my mom," he said. "When she was alive, she always told me to help somebody else. Because if you have the opportunity to help someone, why not? So I think what I do now is for her."
Cubs fans may not care about his foundation, his friendships or his desire to play every day. They just want him to produce. And they're right.
So for the Cubs, for the fans and for himself, Soriano will try his best to stay healthy, run hard and be the star paid big bucks to perform in October.
It hasn't all worked out yet, but as always, Soriano is positive this is the year.

Pancreatic Pseudocyst Imaging
- Author: Michael AJ Sawyer, MD; Chief Editor: Eugene C Lin, MD more...
Pancreatic pseudocysts are the most common cystic lesions of the pancreas, accounting for 75-80% of such masses. A pancreatic pseudocyst is a collection of amylase-rich, lipase-rich, and enterokinase-rich fluid. It is most frequently located in the lesser peritoneal sac in proximity to the pancreas.[1]
Large pseudocysts can extend into the paracolic gutters, the pelvis, the mediastinum, and, rarely, the neck or scrotum. Some pseudocysts in the pancreatic parenchyma are loculated. The most common etiologies for pancreatic pseudocysts include chronic pancreatitis, acute pancreatitis, and pancreatic trauma. In addition, pseudocysts are associated with pancreatic ductal obstruction and pancreatic neoplasms.
Pseudocystic fluid has electrolyte concentrations similar to those in plasma. In addition, however, pseudocystic fluid has a high concentration of amylase, lipase, and enterokinases (such as trypsin). These concentrations reflect the origin of the lesion from extravasated pancreatic exocrine secretions resulting from pancreatic ductal disruption. The pancreatic secretions incite an intense inflammatory response, which eventually leads to the development of a thick, fibrous capsule surrounding the pancreatic fluid.
The radiologic characteristics of pancreatic pseudocysts are demonstrated in the images below.
For the first 3-4 weeks, any fluid that is associated with an episode of acute pancreatitis is called an acute fluid collection. Typically, acute fluid collections do not have high amylase concentrations. They do not possess a thick, fibrous capsule, and they usually have an irregular shape. They may or may not be associated with peripancreatic fat necrosis. These features are in contrast to those of pancreatic pseudocysts, which have high amylase concentrations, are surrounded by a thick, fibrous capsule, and are oval or round. The reason for these differences is that acute fluid collections do not result from pancreatic ductal disruption and the subsequent leakage of pancreatic exocrine secretions.
Acute fluid collections represent an accumulation of transudative or exudative fluids from surrounding tissues in reaction to the episode of pancreatitis. An unusual form of pancreatitis called groove pancreatitis may result in an acute fluid collection or the formation of a pseudocyst between the pancreatic head and the duodenum
Not until the fluid collection has been present for 4 or more weeks is it called a pancreatic pseudocyst. By this time, the inflammatory process leads to encapsulation of the fluid collection by a rim of fibrous tissue that may contain some granulation tissue as well. The capsule usually is densely adherent to surrounding viscera, such as the stomach or duodenum.
Note that the capsule of a pancreatic pseudocyst does not possess a true epithelial lining. This is a critical point in the differentiation of pancreatic pseudocysts from cystic neoplasms of the pancreas.
Preferred examination
Abdominal computed tomography (CT) scanning is performed in virtually every patient presenting with clinically significant pancreatitis or abdominal trauma severe enough to result in pancreatic ductal disruption. Therefore, abdominal CT is commonly the initial radiologic examination used to identify an acute fluid collection related to pancreatic ductal disruption.[2, 3, 4]
The American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) has established grading classifications for all solid organs based on anatomic descriptive criteria, which can be helpful in describing blunt solid organ injuries.[5] (See Blunt Abdominal Trauma.)
Once the diagnosis is made, screening patients for resolution of the fluid collection is acceptable by using abdominal ultrasonography (US).[6] However, if a mature pseudocyst forms and does not resolve, repeat CT scanning is advised before planned percutaneous, endoscopic, or surgical interventions.
Imaging should also be used liberally in patients recovering from acute pancreatitis who present with persistent abdominal pain or in patients with chronic pancreatitis who have complaints such as nausea, vomiting, early satiety, or a sudden crescendo in the level of abdominal pain.
Limitations of techniques
Currently available CT scanners enable the identification of virtually all clinically significant pancreatic pseudocysts. The major limitation is the inability to differentiate pseudocysts from cystic neoplasms by using CT.
Plain radiographs are not a typical choice in the diagnostic armamentarium for pancreatic pseudocysts. These images may be obtained in patients undergoing a workup for nonspecific abdominal pain.
If the patient has a pancreatic pseudocyst, plain abdominal radiographs may depict its presence on the basis of the mass effect caused by the pseudocyst. In this case, findings include suggestion of a soft-tissue mass displacing or compressing surrounding hollow viscera, such as the stomach, duodenum, or transverse colon. Other diagnostic clues to the condition can include the presence of calcifications in the pancreatic duct in a patient with chronic pancreatitis.
Degree of confidence
Although plain radiographs can demonstrate soft-tissue mass effect, findings are nonspecific and must be confirmed by using other diagnostic modalities. The studies of choice include abdominal CT scanning and abdominal US.
False positives/negatives
Other cystic lesions of the pancreas may be misinterpreted as pancreatic pseudocysts. No normal anatomic variants mimic a pseudocyst.
Computed Tomography
Abdominal CT scanning is an excellent choice for imaging acute fluid collections and pancreatic pseudocysts. Most patients with clinically significant pancreatitis undergo CT scanning. Contrast-enhanced, dynamic CT scans are instrumental in determining the severity of pancreatitis (percentage of pancreatic necrosis). Therefore, they have become important predictors of the clinical course and prognosis.
The CT-scan characteristics of pseudocysts are demonstrated in the images below.
Approximately 30-50% of patients presenting with acute pancreatitis have an associated acute fluid collection according to the work of Siegelman and colleagues and Bradley and coworkers.[7, 8] The fluid collections are found in the lesser omental sac, in other peripancreatic locations, or, occasionally, within the gland.
CT characteristics of an acute fluid collection include low attenuation and a homogeneous appearance. Occasionally, especially when associated with severe acute pancreatitis, CT attenuation values may be greater than 20-30 HU (Hounsfield units) because of the presence of necrotic pancreatic or peripancreatic debris or blood within the confines of the acute fluid collection. The presence of such material in the pseudocyst can make its appearance more heterogeneous on CT scans.
Pancreatic pseudocysts have several features that help to distinguish them from acute fluid collections on CT scans. Most prominent is the presence of a well-defined, nonepithelial, fibrous wall around the pseudocyst. The wall is the result of the intense inflammatory response associated with pancreatitis and the spillage of enzyme-rich pancreatic juice into the peripancreatic tissues.
Pseudocysts are round or ovoid in configuration, whereas acute fluid collections are not well defined. A thick pseudocyst capsule may enhance with the addition of contrast. Bradley has described a time course of at least 4 weeks before an acute fluid collection matures into a pseudocyst, which occurs in as many as 50% of patients with an acute fluid collection.[9, 8]
Degree of confidence
The identification of a thick-walled, rounded, fluid-filled mass adjacent to the pancreas on an abdominal CT scan in a patient with a history of acute or chronic pancreatitis is virtually pathognomonic for pancreatic pseudocyst. Positive CT findings in this clinical situation do not require confirmation with another diagnostic modality.
Abdominal CT scanning and US are highly sensitive and specific for the diagnosis of a pancreatic pseudocyst. CT has a sensitivity of 90-100% in the detection of these lesions.
In the acute setting, a CT scan is the better choice because significant amounts of bowel gas resulting from ileus or obstruction decrease the sensitivity of US. In addition, CT scans provide more detailed information regarding the surrounding anatomy and can demonstrate additional pathology, including pancreatic duct dilatation and calcifications, common bile duct dilatation, and extension of the pseudocyst outside the lesser sac.
False postives/negatives
The major weakness of CT scanning is the relative inability to distinguish pseudocyst from cystic neoplasms, especially mucinous cystadenomas and intraductal papillary mucinous tumors (IPMT). As Cooperman stated, the clinical history provides clues to a diagnosis other than pancreatic pseudocyst.[10] If the patient has had no prior history of pancreatitis but has a cystic mass associated with the pancreas, an alternative diagnosis should be entertained.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP; shown below) are sensitive diagnostic modalities for pancreatic pseudocysts.[11] They are generally not routinely used because CT scanning typically offers all the diagnostic information that is required. However, the increased contrast provides for better characterization of fluid collections. MRI or MRCP is superior to CT in depicting debris within fluid collections and pseudocysts, as described by Chalmers and by Morgan and coworkers.[12, 13]
On T2-weighted images, a fluid-filled cystic mass produces high signal intensity and appears bright on images. The pancreatic duct and biliary systems are easily visualized in detail, although interpreting the status of pancreatic duct integrity is difficult.
Degree of confidence
As with CT scanning, the detection of a cystic mass in the proper clinical context should make the examiner confident that a pancreatic pseudocyst is present.
Although MRI is more expensive than CT, it has multiplanar capabilities, it requires no ionizing radiation, and it involves non-nephrotoxic contrast agents. Its ability to depict choledocholithiasis is far superior to that of CT or US. Furthermore, MRCP techniques can also depict subtle branch-chain dilatation in chronic pancreatitis. They are also highly sensitive to blood products, such as those seen in complex hemorrhagic fluid collections or pseudocysts.
Macari et al retrospectively evaluated the sensitivity and specificity of several morphologic findings on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that may be seen in pancreatic cystic neoplasms or pseudocysts. Of 20 patients with pancreatic pseudocysts, 7 had pseudocysts identified at pathologic resection and 13 had a clinical history of pancreatitis, with initial CT revealing no pancreatic cysts and follow-up MRI depicting cystic lesions. Of 14 pseudocysts, 13 were found to have debris, and only 1 of 22 cystic neoplasms had debris. Septa were more likely to be identified within cystic neoplasms than within pseudocysts, and microlobulated morphology was more likely to be observed in cystic neoplasms.[11]
False positives/negatives
Megibow and coworkers and Dani and colleagues have stated that MRI offers no advantage over CT scanning in the differentiation of pancreatic pseudocysts from other pancreatic cystic lesions.[14, 15] The patient's clinical history is extremely important in this situation.
On US examination, pancreatic pseudocysts appear as anechoic structures associated with acoustic enhancement, as demonstrated in the images below. Pseudocysts are well defined and round or oval, and they are contained within a smooth wall.
During the early phases of their development, pseudocysts can appear more complex, with varying degrees of internal echoes. Usually, this appearance results from the presence of necrotic pancreatic and peripancreatic debris and is more common in pseudocysts that form as a result of acute necrotizing pancreatitis than in other pseudocysts. The debris is cleared over time. The pseudocyst can appear more complex in 2 other instances: when hemorrhage occurs into the cyst or when infection of the cyst complicates the clinical course.
Color Doppler or duplex scanning should always be performed in cystic lesions to ensure that the lesion in question is not a giant pseudoaneurysm.
Degree of confidence
Sensitivity rates for US in the detection of pancreatic pseudocysts are 75-90%, according to Pitchumoni and Agarwal; therefore, US is slightly inferior to CT, which, as previously mentioned, has a sensitivity of 90-100%.[16]
US has several limitations, as compared with CT, in the initial diagnosis of a pseudocyst: the presence of overlying bowel gas decreases the sensitivity of US, and unlike CT, US examinations are highly operator dependent. However, CT scans provide more information regarding the surrounding viscera and vasculature.
False positives/negatives
No normal anatomic variants mimic the presence of a pseudocyst; however, other cystic pancreatic masses can be misinterpreted as pseudocysts. This observation is important, because as many as 10% of cystic pancreatic lesions are neoplasms; examples of these include serous and mucinous cystadenomas and mucinous cystadenocarcinomas. Clues to the diagnosis of a neoplastic cyst include a complex nature and the presence of internal septations, which can be extremely difficult to detect with US.
Brugge states that endoscopic US is helpful in the differentiation of pancreatic fluid collections.[17] Endoscopic US is more sensitive than transcutaneous US for demonstrating the internal architecture of the lesions.
Nuclear Imaging
Radionuclide examinations are rarely used for the diagnosis of pancreatic pseudocysts. Nevertheless, they can depict the presence of a pseudocyst, which appears as a photon-deficient mass in proximity to the pancreas.[18] Tracers used in the diagnosis of a pancreatic pseudocyst include gallium-67 citrate and selenium-75 selenomethionine.
Pseudocysts can also be demonstrated scintigraphically if they dissect into the spleen, where they can be associated with subcapsular splenic hemorrhage. In these instances, case reports have been published in which a pseudocyst was imaged as a splenic defect on scanning using technetium-99m sulfur colloid.
Degree of confidence
Nuclear medicine scans must be considered a poor choice in the diagnosis of pancreatic pseudocysts. They depend on indirect information, such as compression or invasion of surrounding structures. The information they provide can demonstrate a mass effect but is nonspecific in aiding with an exact diagnosis.
If the presence of a pseudocyst is suggested on the basis of the results of a nuclear medicine study, the diagnosis must be confirmed by means of a more accurate examination, such as abdominal CT or abdominal US. These studies are highly accurate in the diagnosis of a pancreatic pseudocyst.
False positives/negatives
No specific conditions cause false-negative or false-positive findings on nuclear medicine scans.
Angiography is rarely, if ever, useful in the diagnosis of pancreatic pseudocysts. Arterial pseudoaneurysms resulting from vessel erosion by pancreatic pseudocysts and acute pancreatitis are another matter. In these conditions, angiography can be used as a diagnostic technique and as a therapeutic modality.
Expectant management of pancreatic pseudocysts, including observation and waiting for their resolution, has been associated with rates of significant hemorrhage as high as 18%, according to a report by Kiviluoto and coworkers.[19] Angiographic intervention has been helpful in controlling such hemorrhage. In addition, interventional angiographic techniques have been instrumental in decreasing the mortality rate associated with hemorrhagic complications of acute pancreatitis by transcatheter embolization of bleeding vessels and pseudoaneurysms.
Degree of confidence
For diagnostic purposes, angiography is not a good choice, because it is invasive, it exposes the patient to contrast material, and it offers no advantages over CT, MRI, or US.

TOLEDO, Ohio -- Phil Mickelson made his pitch Friday to go
from golf to minor league baseball.
I know which sport is mine, but I just could not pass on this opportunity. "
-- Phil Mickelson
Mickelson threw batting practice to 18 members of the Toledo Mud
Hens, most of them pitchers. He hopes to earn a chance to pitch in
a real game for the Triple-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers.
Mickelson, a 21-time winner on the PGA Tour, and Toledo manager
Larry Parrish said Detroit general manager Dave Dombrowski would
decide whether to add the golfer to the roster.
"I know I don't have the talent the players here do, but this
is a lifetime dream," Mickelson said.
"This comes without any ambition on my part, and I'm hoping
Dave Dombrowski is open to the idea. If not, I understand. I would
never want to do anything to discredit the game," Mickelson said.
Dombrowski was in Detroit for the Tigers' game against the
Chicago White Sox. He said no decision had been made yet.
"There's nothing we're going to decide tonight," Dombrowski
said. "We're getting extra information tonight. Probably
Mickelson golfs left-handed but throws right-handed. He often
plays catch to loosen his rotator cuff, and has worked with former
Texas Rangers pitching coach Tom House.
None of the Toledo batters homered off Mickelson in a workout
that had its serious and lighthearted moments.
Mickelson had duck to avoid getting hit by Steve Avery's line
drive up the middle. Mud Hens catcher Yohanny Valera stepped into
the batting cage with a sand wedge instead of a bat.
Michael Miller, the president of the Mud Hens' board of
directors, arranged the workout through Mickelson's swing coach,
Rick Smith.
Mickelson's workout at Fifth Third Field was closed to the
public but drew many fans watching beyond the outfield gates, as
well as the Louisville Bats in the visiting dugout.
Mickelson threw to six players from the Akron Aeros, a Double-A team, last weekend
during the NEC Invitational. He offered $300 to anyone who could hit a homer off him, and the
best anyone could do was a fly to the warning track.
Told Thursday that Mickelson was going to try out with the Mud Hens,
Tiger Woods smiled and said, "Good luck."
Paul Azinger was among the players who watched Mickelson pitch
last week in Akron.
"He'll probably be effective, because those guys haven't seen a
68-mph fastball since Little League," Azinger said from the
Deutsche Bank Championship outside Boston.
Despite a chance to pitch in the minors, Mickelson isn't about
to quit his day job.
"I know which sport is mine, but I just could not pass on this
opportunity," he said Thursday.

Saw this rod online and jumped on it. It arrived at the store about a week later and is beautiful. Tried it out on our boat yesterday and it performed as advertised while bottom fishing off Palm Beach. The only thing I would change would be the bottom Guide. It really should be a bit larger for the reel I have attached to it. Other than that . . . . I love it!
You can't go wrong with this one if you are just starting out. I like the fact that it is made of a solid peace instead of two. The rod feel solid and sturdy. The only downside might be that the guides don't seem to be super sturdy so I am worried that eventually that might be a problem. Aside from that the quality is superb for the price and its a great way to start out and figure out if you are really into it or not before spending a lot of money on the more pro fishing rods. I will say that you should not go cheap on your reel, otherwise you wont get the most out of the rod. I think spending more on a good reel will give you a better experience with this rod. I plan on getting the Penn Squall lever Drag 50LD for my 6'.6" rod. Eventually I'll get a better one and use that reel on the new rod.
I highly recomend the Penn Mariner. Well built, high quality for the price. I intend to purchase another shortly.
Great rod except the first guide is to small for a spinning reel and needs to be a half inch more from rod.
Cheap and good rod, but the image in is not correct is of another rod.
Never really thought of WalMart for quality fishing gear, but this Penn rod was perfect for what I needed, and after all, it's a Penn! Same rod at a well known fishing superstore was almost twice as much.

QNAP TS-869 Pro 8-Bay NAS Review
QNAP has a nice retail package that is informative and colorful. We've seen QNAP ship some of its higher spec models with brown box style boxes, but the TS-869 Pro gets the full retail treatment.
The retail package has useful information all over the package.
This is the same information you'll find on the official product located on QNAP's website.
The NAS is packed very well with more than two inches of foam protecting the corners.
QNAP includes two Ethernet cables, a power cable, keys for the drive locks, 3.5" HDD and 2.5" HDD/SSD screws, a nice Quick Installation Guide and an optical disk filled with software and manuals.

My questions is about the top horizontal bar encapsulating logo and menu. I do not want to specify its height because I prefer the browser automatically adjust it depending on user configuration (text size, disablement of CSS or image).
I have found a solution using
position: absolute;: http://jsfiddle.net/5GmWp/30
This solution also avoids the white gap around the black top bar.
#top{ color: white;
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #444;
/* "absolute position" avoids a white gap around the #top black bar */
position: absolute;
/* Using absolute position, I do not have to specify the height */
height: auto;
width: 100%;
top: 0;
left: 0;
padding-left: 3em; }
But this top horizontal bar is displayed on foreground, and the rest of the page is partially on its background. To fix that I have used
reset.css to normalize the CSS: http://jsfiddle.net/UKYrR/12
#top{ color: white;
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #444;
/* reset.css removes the white gap around the #top box */
/* position: absolute; // "absolute position" is not required */
/* However I have to specify the height :( */
height: 90px;
/* If height=auto, the logo is partially outside the #top box */
width: 100%;
top: 0;
left: 0;
padding: 0.5em;
padding-left: 3em; }
But now I have to specify the height to keep the logo image inside the black top box.
What are the good practices to code a such horizontal top bar?
I would also appreciate good and tiny CSS tutorials ;)
Before I used to use
<table> to fix this kind of issues. But I noticed most of the website use
<div> and CSS instead. Another question: Why most of the web site prefer to use
<div> instead of
<table> to display horizontal bar? Is it in order to simplify the copy-paste from the website?

Studios to Marvin The Martian's latest scheme to blow up the earth, The Looney Tunes Treasury recounts the key moments and quirky details of your favorite cartoon characters.

AJ Mass (10:58 AM)
Welcome to our Monday chat, gang! Lots of questions to get to over the next hour, including All Star selections, Manny's return and more. So, who's up first?
Joe (Richmond)
I just traded away Shin Soo Choo for Grady Sizemore. Then Choo went 4/5 with 2 HRs and 7 RBIs. Did I mess up?
AJ Mass (11:01 AM)
LOL. Easy Joe. This isn't the NFL where if you trade a guy away and he rushes for 200 yards you can kick yourself. It's one game out of 162. Assuming Grady can stay healthy, it's not a bad deal for you. Relax.
Joe (Princeton, NJ)
morning AJ.I am sure a lot of us are curious.......do you think Jake Fox is going to manage to stay in the starting line up??
AJ Mass (11:02 AM)
I don't think so. Aramis being back is going to take some time to get back in the swing of things, and D. Lee may lose a little protection for a few games, but in the end, Fox will likely be a spot-starter/key bench sub if the team keeps him around.
Josh (Milwaukee)
How does Yovani Gallardo not make the all star team over Marquis?Yo has a better ERA, SO,BAA, and WHIP and should have at least 2 more wins if he had any run support.
AJ Mass (11:03 AM)
It's not Marquis I would be upset about - it's Johan. He really doesn't deserve it this season, and let's face it - four Mets on the team is preposterous.
Gregg (NYC)
HELP!! Can David Price be trusted this week vs Tor?
AJ Mass (11:05 AM)
I wouldn't trust him. I just don't think he's ready to be a starter at the major league level yet. I don't like the idea of moving him to the pen, or we'll have a Joba/Morrow situation that could have long-term disastrous results. However, Price is still a year away from being fantasy-worthy, IMO.
Jessie (Jersey)
Is Blalock worth a pick up in a 12 Team Mix now that C. Davis got sent down?
AJ Mass (11:06 AM)
He probably was pretty close before, and now with Davis gone and Hamilton back, I think he definitely is.
Lee (New Orleans)
Swarzak worth a flier in a deep AL league until Slowey comes back? Or roll the dice on Bergeson? Thanks, AJ.
AJ Mass (11:07 AM)
I'd much rather have Bergesen. You're not going to get K's, but if you're looking at a short-term fix, with the O's lineup in an upswing, I'd go with him.
Derek (Baltimore)
Who gets Wang's spot in the rotation?
AJ Mass (11:09 AM)
Girardi won't commit yet, but I'm thinking he goes with Aceves. He shouldn't, because he's far too valuable in the pen, but that just figures to be the way this team does things.
Ryan (NJ)
Doumit due back soon. Him or Weiters for this year only?
AJ Mass (11:10 AM)
Wieters. Doumit hasn't yet had a hit in the minors, and I'm not sure he's going to be ready as soon as people are saying.
Chris (PHilly)
Beltre hurt. Davis sent down. Myy 3b situation is a mess. Pick up Blake or Rolen?
AJ Mass (11:11 AM)
I'd go with Blake. I just don't see Rolen playing as he has with the 22-game hitting streak.
All Star game snubs (St Louis)
4 Redsox making the team? Youk and Pedroia DON'T deserve to be on the squad. What a FREAKING farce.
AJ Mass (11:13 AM)
I agree with you. However, as long as the powers that be insist on giving fans the vote, you're going to get undeserving folks in there. I won't criticize Pedroia, because that wasn't a "selection" - it was part of the popularity contest. But I agree Youk wouldn't have made my cut.
Jay (NYNY)
With Scott Hairston traded, does Kyle Blanks getting regular ABs?
AJ Mass (11:15 AM)
I think that is a good assumption. To me, Venable would be the odd man out in the remaining quartet, not Blanks.
Shawn (DC)
I'd like you to talk about how much werth is worth..hahahaha...anyhow, he is pushing for a 30/30 season..Would you trade him for Holliday in a keeper league?
AJ Mass (11:16 AM)
In a keeper league I would rather have Holliday, especially since he's bound to be somewhere else next season - hopefully in a better overall lineup. But for this year only, Werth is definitely outperforming him and more Werth it.
Jack (Columbus, OH)
Did the trade of Hairston just ruin Adrian Gonzales fantasy value going forward? Seems like he has no lineup protection now.
AJ Mass (11:18 AM)
It doesn't help, but I don't think it has too much effect. It's not like pitchers were throwing to Gonzo thinking "we can't possibly let Hairston beat us."
jake (nyc)
Marquis makes the AST and no Gallardo??Proves this event is a joke
AJ Mass (11:20 AM)
I have no problem with Marquis. You can win 10 games in Colorado and keep your ERA under 4, you deserve it. The real issue is that this game shouldn't count for home field, when the real determination should be the league that wins more interleague games.
Chris (NY)
AJ - What do you think of this being added to fantasy? - You credit for a pitcher's positive stats at the plate ( a la Billingsley's HR yesterday) but negative stats don't count against you...
AJ Mass (11:22 AM)
Can't have it both ways. Either the stats all count or they don't -- including when a Johnny Damon pitches an inning in relief. The problem is that would unfairly devalue most NL pitchers over their AL counterparts (Zambrano and Owings notwithstanding) - but if they ever get rid of the DH, I'd be 100 percent for allowing ALL hitting stats to count.
Steve ((SF))
Any thoughts on J Upton's slumping bat? Wheres he on the momentum scale? Thanks!
AJ Mass (11:24 AM)
I'm subbing for Brendan Roberts in Thursday's "Hit Parade" and will have a Momentum update then. But it's way too early to worry. He's in neutral, and should turn it back on soon.
Pete (NC)
People need to stop whining about who makes the AST. That has always been and will always be a complete sham. But what does need to be changed is the winning league getting home field advantage in the WS. How does even make sense?
AJ Mass (11:25 AM)
I disagree to an extent that the whining needs to stop. After all, the manager and players have a large say in who goes, and that makes it even worse. I mean how can Charlie Manuel take all those first basemen, for example, knowing there is no DH and that he has no CF. Things like that are worth whining over.
Ken (NY)
AJ, Did you actually compare Ricky Romero to John Cerutti in a chat earlier this year?? Rest of the year: R. Romero or E. Jackson ?
AJ Mass (11:27 AM)
Yeah, I seem to recall I did. Romero has grown on me some since then, but I'm still going to stay on Jackson side of this argument for now.
To Pete in NC (RE: AST)
You hit it spot on. We have the worst Commish in sports history in Bud Selig.
AJ Mass (11:29 AM)
He's made his mistakes, but I can't agree with you guys. Deciding to go with the Wild Card, which I wasn't in favor of at the time, was an incredibly smart move and in retrospect, probably helped save the sport from going into NHL-type levels of popularity.
Jesse (Pittsburgh)
How about we talk about fantasy baseball and not the ASG in a fantasy baseball chat? One word answer - Halladay for Ellsbury; fair?
AJ Mass (11:31 AM)
Hey Jesse, if you're playing fantasy baseball I'd hope that means you're also a baseball fan in general, so I have no problem chatting about these issues. As for your question, I think it's a fair deal, especially if steals are what you need.
Shane (CA)
How can the AL manager pick Tim Wakefield for the team and openly say he chose him as a career achievement award? His career has nothing to do with making the allstar game.
AJ Mass (11:34 AM)
I agree wholeheartedly there. Tim's my No. 35 starting pitcher overall right now, and that doesn't scream All-Star. I also think that since the home-field is determined by this game that the manager picking the rosters should be the one who is currently holding the best record, and not simply someone who did well LAST SEASON. I doubt his own manager would have selected Wakefield.
Joe (Richmond)
Johan Santana - should we go get him while he's the cheapest he's ever been, or are there legitimate injury/performance concerns?
AJ Mass (11:35 AM)
The concerns are more with the lineup support than with Johan himself. After all, he gave up three hits yesterday and lost. I'd certainly go get him.
Garrett (IA)
Who should be the last man in for both teams in the ASG?
AJ Mass (11:36 AM)
From a strict fantasy production standpoint, it should be Kinsler and Reynolds, and it shouldn't even be close.
Greg (Boston)
You buying J-Roll after this recent hot streak?
AJ Mass (11:36 AM)
Not yet. One week of hot hitting, and against the likes of Tim Redding and Fernando Nieve no less, does not yet make up for a season of .210 hitting.
Doc (CA)
OK now you're just being obstinate JUST answereing All Star Questions. Is Granderson better than Choo?
AJ Mass (11:37 AM)
Well, Granderson is an All-Star.
Pete (NC)
Has Jason Bay plateaued? Has his value slipped at all with this recent slump?
AJ Mass (11:39 AM)
Bay certainly has downward momentum of late, but I wouldn't panic just yet. He was certainly bound to see some decline in that RBI pace sooner or later. I'm still seeing him in the top-30 for the season.
Ronald (Richmond)
Is Matsui fantasy worthy going forward? How would rank him with Cuddyer and Rowand?
AJ Mass (11:41 AM)
I think he's third of the three, but certainly is someone you can slot into your utility slot at home or when the matchup favors him.
Boris (Buffalo, NY)
Is Aramis Ramirez a risky play this week?
AJ Mass (11:44 AM)
If I own him, I probably put him in. I don't think he jumps back into the full swing of things, but on the chance he does I'd risk an 0-for-12 for a possible RBI or two. Of course, it depends on my other options... but hitters are never as "risky" as pitchers are coming off a long injury.
Chuck (NY)
Hey, AJ - Could you briefly explain to us how you calculate your "Momentum Stat"?
AJ Mass (11:45 AM)
Briefly? Hard to do. Better to wait for the full description on Thursday. Basically, it's a rating of actual earned fantasy value compared with what a player's skill set says his current value should be. If the current value is lower, a surge should be expected, and if higher, a decline is in the future.
Peter Becker (FL)
Whats the momentum on Hanley? IT HAS TO BE OUT OF THIS WORLD!
AJ Mass (11:47 AM)
Ah, but it's not... because he's EXPECTED to be a top 10 hitter, and well, he is. The momentum number is a relative measure to the rest of the league, and not a pure individual one.
Ryan (Indiana)
Hey AJ, in a 12 team league w/not much to choose from on WW, who would you rather have DeJesus or Reimold in the OF?
AJ Mass (11:49 AM)
DeJesus. I've actually cut Reimold in a couple of leagues, and just don't see him helping enough from a fantasy standpoint after the hot start.
ray (ny)
following up on the Hairston questions, how about the Oak point of view? I see Hairston moving to Oak a good sign that Matt Holi will be moved since they do have a few OF prospects they could have brought up instead of getting Hairston
AJ Mass (11:51 AM)
Hairston is under contract for a few more seasons, so this is a move for "when Holliday goes." I think it's no secret he'll be moving this season, but this gives them a bit more flexibility in the asking price.
Will (WI)
Schierholtz worth a pickup? How deep of a league?
AJ Mass (11:52 AM)
I think in an NL-only it's a no-brainer. Mixed leagues, it depends on how deep. But he's definitely a guy who can help you.
Joe (Bx, NY)
I concede that your description had to be brief but doesn't Momentum seem to be an example of the gambler's fallacy that you always refer to? Maybe I'm misunderstanding but it seems like the Momentum index is a prediction of a player's stats ultimately reflecting his career statistical norms, which, in previous chats you said was flawed logic (gambeler's fallacy).
AJ Mass (11:55 AM)
Not at all. Brevity gets in the way of the full description... current value is based on the distribution in the league of SB, HR, K's, ERA, etc. "Skills" are based on this season's stats and how many of each stat a player "should have achieved" based on contact rate, things like that. No implied regression to norm, just a revaluation of what their output should be.
Andrew (Toronto)
One quick one before you jetCasey Mcgehee, what do you see in the econd half for him?SHould I consider dropping Beltre for him
AJ Mass (11:56 AM)
Beltre isn't coming back, IMO. McGehee will play and Gamel will be sent back to the minors. No brainer here.
Jonathan (Tulsa)
NO! Don't leave yet! This is my only chat for the week lol. I need to know your thoughts on Cantu. His power stats are awful lately.
AJ Mass (11:59 AM)
I've been quite disappointed in him myself. Of course he always seems to be nagged by injuries - it just gets lost a bit in the headline because Han-Ram is also in that boat somewhat. I think he's ownable in 10-team mixed b/c of 3B eligibility, but not high on the list.
joe (memphis )
prado or o-dog for the rest of the year?
AJ Mass (11:59 AM)
O-Dog - although the All Star nod for him was laughable to me.
Ben (Camden)
would you trade Price for Slowey?
AJ Mass (11:59 AM)
In a one and done league, consider it done.
Eddie (Frisco)
For a team that's near the bottom of the standings in a keeper league, is trading for Webb a good idea?
AJ Mass (12:00 PM)
Absolutely - that's how you avoid the cellar next season.
Bob (GA)
Crawford or BJ Upton for the rest of '09?
AJ Mass (12:01 PM)
Crawford, but if he has another 6-8 steal week in him sometime the next month, I'd sell high.
Jason (Miami)
Dan Meyer or Leo Nunez?
AJ Mass (12:01 PM)
I like Meyer better, but I think we're going to see a tag-team effort while Lindstrom is gone. Neither will get the lion's share here.
AJ Mass (12:02 PM)
That's my time for now. I believe Tristan is up at 3pm for the vacationing TMR. I'll be back tomorrow at 11am for another chat. Thanks for the Q's, and as always, we'll see you the next time on Villa Alegre.

Watch Suits
Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams) is a genius. However, you wouldn't know it by looking at him. A former college dropout, he supports himself by selling marijuana and taking tests for college hopefuls, none of it challenging his eidetic memory and sky-high IQ. Everything changes the day he meets Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht). A shark in the water, Harvey is one of New York's top "closers" - lawyers who specialize in tricky clients with million dollar payouts. Harvey doesn't care about feelings and doesn't play well with others, but at the behest of his boss Jessica (Gina Torres), he finds himself in the market for a protege.
Fleeing from a drug deal gone wrong, Mike has no idea that he's stumbled into the interview room for Harvey's new associate. But Harvey knows talent when he sees it. Mike can rattle off statistics and quote legal precedent better than any judge, so Harvey hires him immediately as a new lawyer for the firm.
The catch?
Mike has never been to law school.
It's this secret that drives Suits, one of USA's newest summertime hits. Originally titled A Legal Mind, it began as a freelance pilot dropped on the desks of David Bartis and Gene Klein. It was then picked up by Universal Cable Productions and sculpted into a comedy-drama about life, law and lies.
You see, if the truth gets out, Mike could lose a lot more than just his job. And with suspicious supervisor Louis Litt (Rick Hoffman) on his case, not to mention the beautiful paralegal Rachel (Meghan Markle) making demands of his heart, discovery seems almost inevitable. Only Harvey is on his side, and with all the bickering between them, it may not be enough.
Tune into USA to see more of this unlikely partnership both in and out of the courtroom. Suits airs on Thursdays at 10/9 Central and is currently in its second season.

USA Network brings two new scripted series to their summer TV lineup. "Suits": A legal drama with a twist, this series follows one of Manhattan's most high profile corporate lawyers, Harvey Specter, as he searches for a new associate. Throughout the search he is only impressed by one candidate, the one guy who never graduated law school. Enter Mike, he's the genius (and sexy) college dropout who couldn't be more suited for the position.

It's a dramatic juxtaposition that makes for a potent cocktail of scenery. Pine forests, lush meadows, ice-blue lakes, simmering hot springs and glacier-gouged canyons are only some... Read More

Top notch, both food and staff. We highly recommend the crab.

Meal date : 7 May 2016
The service was excellent. Some of the food was good. The duck was cooked very well but some of the food was average and the rumbaba was not very good and we waited a long, long time for it. Overall a little expensive for what you get but a nice atmosphere and good service.

Very disappointing, not the restaurant it used to be. Such a great shame. Wilted mint and lettuce, cold mash potato and small portions.
