Tell us a bit about yourself.
Hello, I'm Summer and I live in the beautiful state of Oregon with my partner Jeff and our four-and-a-half-year-old pumpkin of a son. I have a BFA in Sculpture and Printmaking and a minor in Art History (eek, I'm rusty). I love the minimal, conceptual and environmental when it comes to fine art. I really like tea (black, hot, with a little raw sugar, and milk). I'm a fan of contrasts (clean-lined and modern paired with fussy grandma teacups and aged vintage… or simply the organic paired with the inorganic). Our family loves air-cooled VWs and we have a stray cat that adopted us named MiLK (she showed up on MLK day).
Apart from creating things, what do you do?
Since I have a young son, much of my time is spent with him. I also do a lot of work for my progressive-minded church. I love to read, but haven't made enough time for it the last few years, hence the Art History rustiness. Baking is a passion of mine and I tend to not follow recipes or I simply make up my own.
What first made you want to become an artist?
The word "artist" for me is at the same time overused and implies something that is unreachable. I'd rather use words such as: sculptor, printmaker, needle felter, seamstress (very much a novice, I assure you, but sewer certainly isn't the right term is it?). Anyway, back to the question… I think my first motivation was around third grade when my friend Katie was much better at drawing than I was; this really frustrated me. So, I practiced and practiced until I was happy with my drawings (possibly seventh grade). Also, my father used to be a bit of a painter and would draw for me when I was a child – I loved that. Additionally, I was exposed to the arts when I was young via lessons. I took dance (ballet, jazz, tap…), gymnastics, piano, flute, and was in choir (I think that's it).
Please describe your creative process how, when, materials, etc.
How: In order for me to make things, I obviously need to be inspired. Inspiration can come from a technique (I learned to needle felt = Moss Collection), a material, an image (doily trend + love of modern = Personalized Doily Paintings), or an idea (wanted a companion to the Moss Collection = Lichen Collection… oh yeah, and my mom helped me brainstorm on that one). Inspiration can also strike when the light hits something just right or often when I'm falling asleep… I can lay there and work out ideas in the quiet stillness.
When: I make work when I have the time and feel like working on it…which is often, but working on and working out ideas takes a great deal of time. Of course, deadlines are very helpful – I should make more of them for myself.
Materials: This is a quote from my profile, it sums it up nicely, I think: "I find it important to constantly re-evaluate my working methods to find environmentally-friendly sources for materials and shop locally whenever possible and still keep the aesthetic I am after." Also, when I was at university, the printmaking studio underwent a non-toxic makeover (I was lucky enough and happy to help with this process) and sourced recycled and natural materials for my sculpture (and still do).
What handmade possession do you most cherish?
It's impossible to narrow this down, but I would have to say anything my grandmothers' made. My maternal grandmother made my sisters and me themed pillows for holidays, and my father's mother was extremely crafty while I was young and always had a project going. She also has knitted my family quite a few heirlooms.
Name your top five books, movies, songs/musical groups, and web sites besides Etsy.
Anything by Jane Austin
Anything on Art History (particularly Minimalism, environmental art and Conceptual Art)
Books about Wolfgang Laib (my favorite artist)
Books on organic gardening
Oh yes, and the Harry Potter series.
Movies: (I'm not much of a movie watcher, but the visual is really important)
Russian Ark
Vintage holiday movies (Rudolf, Charlie Brown and the like)
The Princess Bride
Musical Groups:
The Smiths, The Cure, Depeche Mode (you know, that genre…they'll have to count for one).
The Faint
DJ Z-Trip
Daft Punk
Whatever new and relatively unknown music Jeff has dug up today
(there are so many, I can't help but go over, and I'm showing some restraint)
Some Etsy friends: BROOKLYNrehab, little is the new big (Miniature Rhino), Phydeaux
My dear "real life" friend, Pamela Susan
Etsian blogs I admire: fieldguided, Something's Hiding in Here, My Paper Crane
Non-Etsy blogs: Four Pounds Flour (I LOVE this blogger's working method…it reminds me of my own…lots of research), small stump, swiss miss
Of course, the biggies for eye candy: decor8, Design*Sponge, Oh Joy!, poppytalk
What advice would you give to artists who are new to Etsy?
It's been said however, photos are really important because they're how one makes it to the front page which equals exposure. I also stalked the forums for awhile to learn as much as I could and went through seasoned sellers' shop policies to learn as well. Whenever I sell something, I convo the buyer as soon as I can to give thanks, let him or her know I confirmed address and payment and state when I will ship the pieces(s). I think communication is really important. Etsy is a wonderful community and joining teams are very helpful. I'm a member of the Eco Etsy Street Team as well as Etsy's Cabinet of Curiosities.
What are your favorite features on Etsy? What new features would you like to see?
I love the treasury, it's so much fun to curate one's own little exhibit. Favorites are wonderful (I'd love to have folders that I can name to categorize my favorites). The Storque can be a wonderful resource. The Gift Guides are pure eye candy! Oh, one thing that would be lovely…the ability to do more things in batches like editing descriptions, tags, or materials (similar to batch shipping); that would save loads of time. Frankly, I'm so happy that Etsy exists!
How do you promote your work?
Really, I haven't worked on this area as much as I would like. However, I have a blog (http://ottoman.typepad.com), a store front on cosa verde, and I guest blog on Etsy Stalker (but mostly because I love to write about art). Again, making the front page equals a great deal of exposure, so I work on my photography constantly. I'm also really thankful to those who find my work and write about it.
In ten years I'd like to be…
I'd love for my little family to be able to be ourselves (which can be difficult when one has a creative mind and can't pigeon-hole one's self into a typical corporate lifestyle)…living in a sweet, modern, simple home with a big veggie garden…canning our own food…buying our clothes from those who make it…having tea parties with friends (with those fussy grandma teacups)…reading lots of books…traveling and having wonderful adventures with "my boys" and visiting our families more…continuing to be inspired…and healthy (whew).

Autonomous agents are intelligent software programs. Typically, agents are situated in an environment. Repeatedly, they sense their environment, engage in some decision making whereby they select actions, and execute their actions, which, in turn, impact their environment. Moreover, in most cases, the environment contains a number of such agents whose actions typically mutually affect one another. This interdependence arises because the different agents, with their own aims and objectives, must operate in a common environment that has finite resources and capabilities. Depending on the dependency's nature, several different types of social interaction occur between the agents, including cooperation, coordination, and negotiation. Autonomous agents are becoming active participants in marketplaces. We present a study on the interactions between autonomous agents and markets.

Senate nixes bill that would have repealed state rule on transgender use of public restrooms
By Izumi Hansen

Most Popular this week

Sen. Jim Hargrove, D-Hoquiam, was the lone Democrat to vote in favor of the measure.
The Washington State Human Rights Commission created the rule, which went into effect last December, as a clarification of a 2006 law that prohibits discrimination based on gender identity.
"This has been the law in Washington state for 10 years, and all that the law has done in 10 years is protect the lives and civil rights of innocent people," Sen. Marko Liias, D-Lynnwood, said before voting.
Proponents of SB 6443, speaking during floor debate Wednesday, said it protected people from predators, who could use the rule to disguise themselves as members of the opposite gender.
"We're not trying to take people's rights. We're trying to address this for small children whose parents are coming to us saying, 'What about us?' " said Sen. Jan Angel, R-Port Orchard.
Said Hargrove: "I do not know of a transgender person that is a sex offender.
"What I am concerned about is that there will be a lot of sex offenders that will all of a sudden become transgender because it gives them an opportunity to get into our locker rooms."
Hargrove represents the 24th District — which covers Clallam and Jefferson counties and a portion of Grays Harbor County — along with Reps. Steve Tharinger and Kevin Van De Wage, both Sequim Democrats.
Process flawed
Sen. Doug Ericksen, R-Ferndale, who sponsored the bill, said implementing the existing rule would be difficult for business owners and that the process that created the rule was flawed.
"In an area that is so important to so many people, I believe it is the duty of the Legislature to be the one making the final decisions on issues of this type," Ericksen said.
But opponents said there were no reported incidents of predators entering bathrooms by claiming they are of another gender.
"I'm happy to report that we have a good handful of criminal statutes that are available to make sure they are not able to harass or ogle or do anything else inappropriate," said Sen. Jamie Pedersen, D-Seattle.
Opponents said the bill played into fear and would repeal civil rights for transgender people.
"We have some genuine but subjective fears that have been expressed by people who are worried about what might happen in their locker rooms," Pedersen said.
"We have objectively genuine and reasonable fears from our transgender brothers and sisters in Washington."
Many senators said during the floor debate that transgender people experience violence at a higher rate than other populations.
Some opponents also said transgender people do not lightly choose to present as a gender different from their birth sex.
"When we diminish the rights and the dignities and the freedoms of any one of our people in this state, each one of us is diminished," said Liias.
"[The existing rule] doesn't make us any less safe. It will make it clearer and easier for us."
Sen. Cyrus Habib, D-Bellevue, said, "There is no civil right to not be uncomfortable.
"There is a civil right to be included. It doesn't mean that we don't care.
"It doesn't mean we don't understand where people are coming from. But it can't control. It can't dominate. We have to put civil rights first."
Three Republicans, Sens. Joe Fain of Auburn, Andy Hill of Redmond and Steve Litzow of Bellevue, voted against the bill, and one Democrat, Hargrove, voted for it.
Litzow said after the vote, "I hope today's vote by the Senate makes it clear to transgender people that their elected officials strongly believe that discrimination is not acceptable."
Some members said they could not believe they were having this debate about changing civil rights laws, particularly when other issues such as education and budget are priorities for the short session.
Sen. Kevin Ranker, D-Orcas Island, said: "We finally have the rules in place in this great state to protect all of our children and all members of our community.
"And now in this body, we are having a debate on if that is appropriate.
"We need to grow up. We need to come into 2016 and recognize that equality matters, that civil rights matter."
After the Senate adjourned, Ericksen said he was disappointed with the vote.
"It's pretty hard-pressed to call it a civil rights issue," he said.
A companion House bill sponsored by Luanne Van Werven, R-Lynden, failed to gain a hearing in the House Judiciary Committee this session.

An up-to-date look at free software and its makers
Inthis month's Projects on the Move, we look at Squirrel SQL, a full-featured easy-to-use GUI-based database management tool. We also have updates on Debian: frozen Etch, the upcoming DebConf 7, and spring cleaning
on the Debian Desktop.
Just like on a filesystem, the command line is often the quickest way to perform many database-related tasks. This said, GUI-based front-ends also have some advantages, like giving you a fast overview of existing databases and tables. Plus, if you are unfamiliar with a particular SQL dialect or engine, you can still edit tables, modify access privileges or change table structures. If you need SQL queries for more complex tasks, they often provide SQL editors with syntax highlighting.

In these days of unbounded optimism, when medical science promises to transcend every boundary and solve all problems, the autopsy frequently becomes a matter for discussion. Numerous letters to medical journals and the lay press emphasize the need for more autopsies and for greater lay education concerning their importance. The standard arguments are that autopsies help to solve the mysteries of disease; that they inform the medical practitioner about his diagnostic accuracy, and bring home to him his mistakes; that they improve the validity of medical statistics.
Unfortunately, the problems involved are not at all simple. We cannot make the unequivocal statement, "Autopsies are good, we must have more of them, and the more autopsies we have the better is our level of medicine." A more searching analysis is desirable.
What is an autopsy? "The dissection of a dead body to determine the nature of disease," is actually a secondary

Is there a way to keep a log (either local or stored on a remote server) of every time a deployment is done via capistrano? It would be very useful to keep a record of what revision was running at any given time in the past.
I know that the deployment process leaves behind the deployed files for the last 10 deployments in the releases directory, but it would be nice to keep more history and have it accessible in the form of a flat file.

Home Interior Designers in Delhi: Ways to find and hire one online
Looking for home interior designers in Delhi but unable to figure out how to find and hire one for interior designing of your new flat? Are you looking for home interior designers with proven track records in handling interior designing assignments of newly built flats or homes? I can understand the importance of relevant interior designers because I have worked with a few of them. I understand that interior designers have a very crucial and important role to play in converting an empty flat into a dream home. But beyond that, there are so many other things that matters such as;
- Adequate planning for the entire projects
- Drawing, 3D modeling and iterations to finalize the end design
- Opinion and advise on sourcing of good quality materials
- Selection and sourcing of decor elements
- Expertise of the technicians for electrical, plumbing and other civil works
- Timely delivery of the project
You wish to hire an expert interior designer because you want to make sure that your flat should be designed and decorated according to your needs and within the budget you may have allocated for interior designing of your flat.
Obviously you have to find the best possible expert for the interior designing and decoration of your flat and that's what I want to discuss today in this post. I want to share a few tips to help you find best home interior designers in Delhi who can convert your empty flat into a sweet home.
Ways to find home interior designers in Delhi
Starting with an unfurnished flat with just the putty on the walls and tiles on the floor is not all that easy. You need expert advice and opinions to decide where to put a wall painting and what kind of light you should buy for the living area. Which color is going to complement the entire theme and what kind of texture will improve the aesthetic of the painting of your house. Taking opinion from friends and family member is one thing but taking opinions from expert home interior designers in Delhi who may have cumulative experience of designing hundreds of home and flat is a different experience. Undoubtedly, a professional home interior designer can make all the difference in planning, sourcing and execution of the entire interior designing project of yours.
So when you decide to hire an interior designer then what's the best ways to find and hire home interior designers in Delhi? Here are the various ways to find and hire home interior designers in Delhi NCR or anywhere else for that matter.
But what do you need an interior decorator or an interior designer? That's too confusing, but trust me both are not same and there are some differences.
Difference between interior decorator and a designer
I am sure you have heard of these two words many times and I have seen people confuse between them and hence though to clarify this in the first place. So when you plan to renovate your house and replace just a few things here and there then you actually need an interior decorator. Interior decorator can help you in furnishing and redesigning your home where most of the décor is already done. They can help you with decoration and furnishing kind of things.
But when you have a newly built empty space then you may need help from home interior designers who will be able to help you with entire planning and designing of space, including finishing and furnishing. Making small alterations, space planning and utilization, tweaking plumbing, electrical and civil works etc are the key services they offer.
Recommendations of interior designers from friends
Over a period of time social media have changed the way we live today. Did you know that you can use your social connection to find home interior designers in Delhi as well? In fact this is probably one the best ways to find a service professional be it an interior, mover or a pest control agency. Why? Because your friends or colleagues won't recommend you a professional that they have used but they were not happy with their work. They will always recommend agencies that they found to be the best and if there were any issues, they would tell you upfront. And it's anyway better to go with recommendations of interior designers than searching and hiring an unknown company randomly, no?
Use social media to find professionals interior experts
But what if you don't find any reference of interior designers in Delhi from friends and colleagues? You can take this concept to the online social network. Depending on which social networking site you use, you may like to ask your friends and circle members to help you with references of best home interior designers in Delhi that they may have used or know about.
Alternatively, you can search for interior design agencies on social networking sites like facebook, linkedin, twitter, google plus, instagram etc. By looking at the business page of these agencies, you can get fair idea of which company is better from their peers and may be the potential agency you should look at for your interior projects. Contact them, send them a brief overview of what you are looking for and see if they would like to take on the interior design project and help you.
If it seems like too much of work, we can recommend expert interior designers for free.
Evaluate portfolio and look for relevant work experience
One of the best ways to choose interior designers is to look at their portfolio. Most of the interior designers would have their own website and they have a gallery or portfolio page that you can look at. I have also seen them carrying a printed portfolio of some of the past projects and this is probably the best way to judge the capability and expertise of an interior designing company in Delhi.
Main purpose to evaluate portfolio of home interior designers in Delhi should be to judge the capability and relevant experience of the designer and verities of themes in their work. Obviously budget is an important part of it and you should know about it upfront. So when looking at portfolio, don't just see the pictures, but look at the relevance with your projects and the kind of budget that specific client had for the project. We can help you find interior experts with loads of experience and relevance to your interior designing needs.
Finalize financials and book a pro
I am sure you have got plenty of ideas about where to find and how to evaluate portfolio of home interior designers. Same principals can be applied in searching and hiring interior designers and decorators for commercial interior projects.
Now when you have a few options and you have evaluated their past work and got plenty of idea about the kind of projects these designers have handled in the past, you are good to finalize and sign the deal now. So what's the final step?
As you know your budget is important and hence it's important to state it upfront if you have allocated a budget. If you don't have any idea of budget or you are flexible with your budget then the best thing to do would be to take their advice and ask for detailed proposal for the entire project.
Usually home interior designers prefer turnkey basis assignments which means they will take care of everything from start to end. You give them an empty space, give them a budget, and they would deliver you the fully furnished and finished home within the time frame.
So here's what you should finally before picking an interior designer for home projects.
- Get detailed quotations
- Clearly define the scope of work
- Number of iterations and alteration allowed.
- Price range or make/model of materials to be used
- Payment terms
- Execution time
- Clause for delays in delivery
- Anything else you think would be worthy to put in the contract
It's better to put everything on the papers and have a clearly defined scope of work before signing the contract when hiring a home interior designer in Delhi.
Over to you
There are a number of home interior designers in Delhi but you need one who has relevant work experience to take on your home interior projects and finish it in stipulated time frame and under your budget. Just be a little practical when finding and hiring interior designers and look for portfolio of past work and you will be good to go.
If you are still unsure and wish to evaluate some of the best home interior designers in Delhi then post your needs here to get started for free.

Interior Designer: Here's how to hire one in India
Interior designing is a costly affair and apart from money, you ought to be double sure about everything you do as part of your interior designing project. Right from choosing a theme, to lighting and color shades for wall painting and choosing an interior designer, you can't afford to go wrong.

Tips for Reducing Stress
In this article
We may not be able to control stress, but we can manage it. Here are some stress-management tips that may help you feel better - and less stressed - every day:
- Accept that there are events that you cannot control.
- Keep a positive attitude; rather than defaulting to negatives (''Nothing goes right for me,'' or ''Bad things always happen to me''), give yourself positive messages (''I'm doing my best,'' or ''I'll ask for help'').
- Halt stress in its tracks; if you feel overwhelmed, take a walk or drive in the slow lane to avoid getting angry at other drivers.
- Manage your time. Give yourself time to get things done; set your watch so you have more time to prepare for an event.
- Do things that are pleasurable, like reading or gardening.
- Take 15-20 minutes every day to sit quietly and reflect. Learn and practice relaxation techniques like yoga or deep breathing.
- Exercise regularly by bicycling, walking, hiking, jogging, or working out at the gym. Your body can fight stress better when it is fit.
- Avoid alcohol and recreational drugs. And don't smoke.
- Eat healthy, well-balanced meals.
- Get enough rest and sleep. Your body needs time to recover from stressful events.
- Seek out social support.

The lymphatic system filters fluid from around cells. It is an important part of the immune system. When people refer to swollen glands in the neck, they are usually referring to swollen lymph nodes. Common areas where lymph nodes can be easily felt, especially if they are enlarged, are: the groin, armpits (axilla), above the clavicle (supraclavicular), in the neck (cervical), and the back of the head just above hairline (occipital).

It is a qualified dividend that next year will mean you are taxed at your regular income tax rate, what ever that it. In 2011 my qualified dividends, because of the BUSH TAX CUTS, were only taxed at a max. of 15% which was quite a bit less than my income tax rate. You could have reduced it to 0% or 5% if you had a very low adjusted income tax rate. This all still applies for 2012 dividends because the BUSH TAX CUTS do not end until 12/31/2012. Others dividends you might have heard about that are tax fee now only apply to dividends on options type plays in some ETFs and other funds if it is truly a return of equity because it is something like a COVERED CALL PLAY. That dividend is tax free because it is considered a partial return of equity now but could costs you more later when you sell the fund because it reduces you BASIS which could increase you tax reported gains while you actual payout could be less when the fund is sold. I hope this answers your question.
You have discussed tax rules but not the specific taxability of the ORI dividend. When a company has distributed all of its "earnings and profits"(a tax accounting term that is similar to retained earnings) any further dividends are considered Nondividend Distributions (aka return of capital). I checked with Charles Schwab and the ORI dividend in 2011 was considered qualified. What I am trying to figure out is when will ORI run out of earnings and profits such that the dividend will be considered a return of capital. If and when that happens you don't report the dividend as current income and instead you reduce your cost basis and report a larger gain(hopefully) when the stock is sold.
ORI's balance sheet at 12-31-11 showed retained earnings of $2,472,000,000, so I am guessing that ORI's dividends will be qualified for a long time.

1. Via r/NFL, take a look at this exquisite photograph, ostensibly of Peyton Manning, who's in Hawaii for the NFL Pro Bowl.
This photo, which is about as unverified as a photo of someone can possibly be but definitely LOOKS like Peyton Manning, is a very important photo.
It is not important because it shows that Peyton Manning is out of shape, or something dumb like that. If you're saying the photo is important for that reason, you're bad and you should feel bad: Manning's 36 years old and STILL might win the MVP award LESS THAN A YEAR after coming off SPINE SURGERY. He's out of shape? No, YOU'RE OUT OF SHAPE.
Instead, this photo is important because it shows that even NFL MVPs can look totally, completely, 100% like dads.
3. Dad Characteristic #1 and #2: The visor and wraparound sunglasses.
Not a baseball cap. A visor. Which appears to at least have the Broncos' colors underneath the brim. And those shades are Peak Dad — they may even be Oakleys.
4. Dad Characteristics #3, #4, and #5: Unapologetic shirtlessness; electronic-looking big-ass watch; cold drink.
See, Peyton Manning doesn't give a FRICK what you think about his torso. He's a dad; he don't care. And that watch? It tells time, so get off his gotdam back. It tells time just as well as your fancy Rolex Roger Federer-looking watch, you fancypants Swiss clockmaster, even if it does have a Velcro strap. Whatever: Velcro's from nature. Peyton's got a cold drink in hand — what is it? who knows, but he's holding it in what looks like it could be a frozen mug, because he's a practical man — and he's just enjoying his vacation.
5. Dad Characteristic #6: A RIDICULOUS-PRINT LONG BATHING SUIT
Yeah? You like those monkeys on Peyton's bathing suit? Sure you do: they're the kings of the jungle (or the veldt, or whatever), just like Peyton's the king of his roost. They're Cool Monkeys; he's probably had that bathing suit for longer than you've been alive. And yes, it does go down to his knees: better for getting just the right kind of goofy shorts-tan.

Managing Pain in the Older Adult, edited by Michaelene Jansen, tackles the difficult and neglected problem of chronic pain in vulnerable elderly persons. With approximately 25% to 50% of community-dwelling older adults experiencing persistent pain, this topic has become a significant factor in the assessment and delivery of US health care.

Epilators: Torture Device Or Miraculous Hair Remover?
And so, our epic quest for the easiest hair removal device continues. This time we talked our assistant beauty editor/hair removal guinea pig Tara into braving an epilator. What, you may ask, is an epilator? As Tara describes, it's a series of tiny tweezers that pull out your body hair. It sounds kind of like a torture device from the Spanish Inquisition, but hey, anything for beauty. Or maybe not. Watch Tara test it out and see if she thinks the pain is worth the gain.
Would you use an epilator if it promised fuzz-free skin?

Brooklyn, Staten Island Renew Minor-League Rivalry With New Managers
When Tom Gamboa began coaching, Mario Garza wasn't playing T-ball yet. In fact, he wasn't even born.
Now, they're the newly minted managers of crosstown rivals. On Friday, the 66-year-old Gamboa, who referred to his role as a "substitute parent," will lead the Brooklyn Cyclones over the Verrazano Bridge to take on the Staten Island Yankees, managed by 33-year-old Mario Garza, when the two teams begin their seasons in the short-season Single-A New York Penn League.
Last season's Cyclones manager, 67-year-old Rich Donnelly, had plenty of experience—but he left for the Mariners organization. So the Mets' director of player development and scouting, Paul DePodesta, reached out to Gamboa, with whom he worked in the Padres organization—even though Gamboa had retired in 2011.
"In this particular instance, we felt someone with that type of experience would be great in Brooklyn," DePodesta said.
Gamboa, who began his coaching career in 1979, asked DePodesta: "Gee, why wouldn't you want to get a younger guy that you could help train?"
That's exactly what the Yankees have been doing with Garza, who quit playing baseball in 2007, never having risen above Single-A. After retiring, he says he worked at a small private-equity firm that closed during the financial crisis, and then sold commercial insurance.
In 2010, two of Garza's former connections brought him to the Yankees: Pat McMahon, his former coach at the University of Florida, and Pat Roessler, one of his former coaches in the Astros' system. Both now work for the Yankees, and they knew they had to bring Garza in for his intellect on the diamond.
Garza has shown a knack for combining new-age analytical tools with the on-field experience he earned as a catcher in the minor leagues.
"He's very forward-thinking," Roessler said. "He's into the metrics. He's into using defensive shifts, into matchups, spray charts."
Garza got his first managing gig with the Yankees' Gulf Coast League rookie-level affiliate last season. He said his youth is an advantage when working with some of the organization's youngest talent.
"I can relate to what the players are going through," he said.
When Garza was just getting back into the game, Gamboa was getting out. He retired midway through the 2011 season as manager of the Angels' Single-A team to take care of his ailing mother, putting family ahead of baseball for the first time in his life.
"I figured 40 years was enough. When I took care of my mom, I didn't pursue baseball," he said.
One of his latest baseball roles wasn't even real: In the 2011 film "Moneyball," he played a grizzled scout—for the Mets. Coincidentally, that movie stars a fictionalized version of DePodesta.
Now he's really in the dugout for the Mets, who have increasingly been sending their top talents through Brooklyn. First-round picks Brandon Nimmo and Gavin Cecchini both spent time there, with the big-city atmosphere providing good preparation for later on, DePodesta said.
Gamboa has seen just about everything in his long career: Sadly, he is perhaps best known for being attacked on the field in Chicago by two drunken fans while he was the first-base coach for the Kansas City Royals in 2002.
For both new managers, it has been a hectic start to the season. The teams' rosters are still being filled out with players from the recently completed MLB draft. Only eight days will pass between the beginning of the draft and the teams' opening day. Last year, it was 12 days.
"I don't know a lot of these guys," Garza said.

The Cancer Imaging Program, (NCI), solicits applications to promote research on quantitative imaging of tumor response to cancer therapies in clinical trial settings, with the overall goal of facilitating clinical decision making. Proposed projects should include the appropriate development and adaptation/implementation of quantitative imaging methods, protocols and software solutions/tools (using existing commercial imaging platforms and instrumentation), and their application in current and planned Phase 1-2 clinical therapy trials. No support for the clinical trials, as such, will be provided under this initiative. The proposed projects must focus on imaging-derived quantitative measurements of responses to drugs and/or radiation therapy, and/or image-guided interventions. It is anticipated that these research goals will require multidisciplinary efforts. Therefore, this announcement solicits applications from multi-disciplinary teams to include oncologists as well as clinical and basic imaging scientists. The involvement of industrial partners in the development of the quantitative imaging methods is not required, but is strongly encouraged. Awardees will form a Quantitative Imaging Network (QIN) to share ideas and approaches to validate and standardize imaging data and related imaging meta-data for quantitative measurements of responses to cancer therapies.

Skip to comments.Chatter over Hutchison as possible VP pick gets louder
Posted on 08/27/2008 6:45:58 AM PDT by Bulwinkle
CRAWFORD Texas Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison's long-shot prospect for vice president is getting a push from conservative and other pundits in the lead-up to next week's Republican National Convention.
The latest flurry of speculation online and on cable television constitutes at least a third or fourth wave of chatter about Hutchison, whose name surfaces occasionally as a possible Republican vice-presidential candidate...
(Excerpt) Read more at chron.com ...
Let's hope not. The Democrats will mock the ticket as Grandma and Grandpa Simpson...
Palin would be better.
If McCain would pick a woman, he'd be a near-lock for the win in November.
Though I'd much prefer Sarah Palin.
Just stay away from Romney. He's a dud who brings nothing to the table and probably makes a McCain win in November less likely.
Not a good idea. She and Mr. McCain will look like Jed and Granny Clampett.
MMMMMMM doggies!
Why? She doesn't have the experience KBH has.
Houston/Texas PING
Would definitely get all those pissed off Hillary supporters.
After Hillary's speech last night, it is obvious that there are 18 million reasons to pick a female as a VP candidate.
Kay Baily Hutchinson leans toward pro choice. This will surely come out during the campaign.
At least if she an McCain lose they will get plenty of endorsement opportunities.
Viagra. Depends. Metamucil. Dentucreme. Liberty Mutual insurance.
I hope you don't think McCain gives a flip about the conservative wing of the party. He would pick whoever can help him win, regardless of their stance on abortion.
Not another Senator!
We already have 3 on the tickets, and that is 3 too many.
You say it too nicely.
I hope someone McMeMeMe listens to can persuade him that HIS BASE IS NOT SHORED-UP. His pick needs to be unassailably conservative.
Trouble is, he thinks he is, thinks he deserves this, thinks we're d****d lucky to have someone as wonderful as he to vote for.
And he's wrong.
Senator Hutchinson isn't young enough. C'mon, people, think this through. (I don't necessarily mean FRs)
Palin has more executive experience than Hutchison.
You really think those 18 million pantsuit wearing booted shorthaired womyn who love Hillary will vote for any republican woman? You see Rosie and Ellen and the leader of NARAL loving up Kay Bailey Hutchinson? Dream on.
You really think those 18 million pantsuit wearing booted shorthaired womyn who love Hillary will vote for any republican woman? You see Rosie and Ellen and the leader of NARAL loving up Kay Bailey Hutchinson? Dream on.
The "snow on the roof" crowd is the #1 most dependable bloc to show up at the polls. And BTW, 50 is the age when you can join AARP...........
She's not known for being pro-life, in fact she's been considered pro-abortion in my memory.
This would be a mistake of huge proportions. The VP pick cannot be from Texas. The VP pick cannot be old.
"Nooooooooo!!!! Please not!!!! She is a nice lady and I assume she still has her marbles having adopted two babies in her 60s. But standing next to John McCain at the convention- it will look like an AARP convention.
At least if she an McCain lose they will get plenty of endorsement opportunities.
Viagra. Depends. Metamucil. Dentucreme. Liberty Mutual insurance."
Couldn't have said it better.
{KBH's} Omnibus Bill Includes Border Fence-Gutting Amendment
An excerpt:
The Hutchison amendment gives DHS virtually total discretion over how and where the fence is built, says Grassfire.org President Steve Elliott. In fact, DHS would not be required to build fencing in any particular location -- and the double-layer mandate is totally gone.
KBH is too old and she's another freaking senator.
Palin or Romney, governor and former governor.
yes, but a lot of old people VOTE
Hitchison is younger than Biden.
Not only NO!! HELL NO!!
There are others I'd rather see, but as long as McCain doesn't pick that charlatan from Massachusetts, I can live with it.
She is exactly the same age as Biden and 2 years younger than Cheney. She is the age now that Hillary will be when she runs in 2012.
A myth that people keep repeating. Kay is pro-life. She only waivers slightly on stem cell research.
Click here for OR .
I like Palin but the reality is that McCain would lose all his precious ammo against Obama on the experience issue. The RATS would just point to Palin.
She just adopted two small children....
I don't know where You're getting Your info from.
I'm not saying they will vote Republican. I'm not even voting Republican. All I said is that the McCain campaign sees 18 million potential votes.
Fixed it.
then Kay..
Agree wholeheartedly. I think the dems made a big mistake by doubling up Obama bin Biden. If McCain were to pick KBH, they would lose the opportunity to exploit the "lack of executive experience angle." I'd love to see Palin as McCain's Veep.
Especially after BO picked Biden...
I agree. If he picks a pro-abortion VP candidate, he will lose the millions of evangelicals. McCain doesn't care, he is blinded by the current polls.
She does more than lean - she IS pro choice, by her own words. There is no doubt or middle ground.
If McCain picks her, he will lose a lot of conservative votes.
the snow on the roof crowd is already a lock for McCain (except those in AARP who epitomize BDS)
People will look at McCain's VP as the person who can and will run this country if aged Senator Mccain sadly becomes incapacitated or dies. With a candidate this old and with his health history, we cannot tolerate a tokenism selection, especially an old one. Would anyone even mention KBH if she was a man?
We don't need two Senators and we especially don't need two old Senators. McCain is 72 years old...he needs a bona fide conservative who's young and ready to step in if needed. I don't see Kay Bailet Hutchison in that light...at all. Nice lady, I'm sure but not what we need right now.
Add Hutchinson to the list of candidates who would add nothing to the McCain campaign, and might even hurt a bit. That list also includes Romney, Powell, Rice, Huckabee, and Lieberman.
McCain needs a bold, younger choice. Cantor, Palin, Steele, or Sanford. Not the guy who came in number two, or a bunch of "moderates" and liberals.
bs... no hair dye..... I think
Not sure I understand this bill. From what I am reading, this would give Homeland Security jurisdiction over the fence. Grassfire says this 'may' allow them to choose not to build it, but that is a 'what-if' game, not actually written in the bill. Wouldn't it be better to have this in the hands of Homeland Secuirty than under the jurisdiction of congressmen whose allegiances change at a whim? Isn't this a Homeland Security issue? Maybe I am reading this wrong, but what Grassfire is saying isn't actually in the bill, they are just saying 'what if'.
She's a decent enough lady but doesn't strike me as the sharpest knife in the chandelier. An obvious consequence of that is she could really drag team McCain down in debates, I'm afraid.
I'd much rather he select a rising star VP candidate. It's doubtful there is too much to this rumor because McCain's team has been making all the right moves up to this pt and surely wouldn't slip up now with this looming critical decision.

Sweet and confident with an optimistic sparkle
I want an amazing relationship with an awesome man who rocks my world. You know that feeling you have when you feel like you're "home"? You feel relaxed, happy, safe, welcomed, and loved, and like all is well in your world. That's the feeling that I'm looking for. Someone who, when we're together, we both feel like we're home and we look forward to coming home to each other for a lifetime. I know that creating a life that makes me happy is up to me. I believe the joy is in the journey of life, and not getting to an ultimate destination. It's the simple things that generate the most pleasure for me, such as a morning workout on the weekend, spending quality time connecting and visiting with those I love, relaxing at home watching movies, cooking and preparing something delicious for dinner, and planning visits and trips with family or friends. I'm genuine and confident. I enjoy laughing, and spending time with people who make me laugh. As Monty Python says, I always look on the bright side of life. :) I enjoy what I do for work, and I also strive for balance in life. When I leave work, I really leave work. I like setting goals because they keep me moving forward, reaching, and learning. I have strong, healthy, and close relationships with the people in my life who I care about. I love the outdoors and living near water. You may have noticed that I work out a lot. I do this because I love it! I love traveling to any place new and different. I love my "go" time, but I also savor my down time. Being home and relaxing is one of life's greatest pleasures. You are happy, warm, optimistic, funny and have a passion for life. You have a high level of integrity and respect for yourself and others. You are grounded, have balance in your life and make time for fun. You are healthy in mind, body, and spirit. You strive to make time each day to work out or do something you love. If my profile resonates with you how about coffee?

I enjoy traveling and exploring new places. Being outside, walking, sailing, working out (step aerobics, Zumba, hot power yoga, weight training classes), going to the movies, going out to eat with friends, and more.

Nutrition Profile
Diabetes appropriate | Low calorie | Low cholesterol | Low saturated fat | Heart healthy | Healthy weight |View Our Nutrition Guidelines »
- 1 recipe Quick-Rising Pizza Dough, (recipe follows)
- Cornmeal for dusting pizza peel
- 4 cups sliced plum tomatoes, (8 tomatoes)
- 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons minced, seeded jalapeno pepper, or to taste (about 3 peppers)
- Salt & freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese, (4 ounces)
- 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro
This recipe calls for:
- Place a pizza stone, baking tiles or inverted baking sheet on the lowest rack of the oven; preheat to 500°F or highest oven setting.
- Divide dough into 8 pieces. Using your fists, stretch one piece into a 6-inch round. Alternatively, roll out with a rolling pin, on a lightly floured surface. (Keep remaining dough covered with a towel or plastic wrap.) Place on a cornmeal-dusted pizza peel or an inverted baking sheet, using enough cornmeal so that the dough slides easily. Stretch or roll a second round of dough and place beside the first.
- Arrange 1/2 cup tomatoes over each round of dough. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon jalapeños and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons cheese over the top.
- Carefully slide the pizzas onto the heated pizza stone, baking tiles or baking sheet and bake until the bottoms are crisp and browned, 10 to 14 minutes. Repeat with the remaining dough and toppings. Before serving, sprinkle each pizza with 1 teaspoon cilantro.
