RED WING, Minn. - Jeff Ritter of Prairie du Chien, Wis., had a simple goal heading into the $250,000 Northern Division event on the Mississippi River: to beat his highest-ever EverStart Series finish - 14th place - which, interestingly, came on the same waterway in 2002.
Heading into the final day of competition, it was clear that Ritter was well on his way to achieving that goal. However, what transpired for Ritter during the final weigh-in turned out to be nothing short of a dream come true. After hauling in a two-day total of 23 pounds, 1 ounce, Ritter outpaced rival and fellow FLW Tour pro Dave Lefebre by nearly 3 pounds to capture the first EverStart title of his career.
Not surprisingly, Ritter was nearly at a loss for words after realizing that he had won it all.
"It's awesome. I don't know what to say," said the victorious angler, who was nearly overcome by emotion after his family poured onto the stage to congratulate him. "It's really indescribable. I'm a shaking mess right now, but it feels great."
However, his victory was far from easy.
"I caught a 2-pound fish right off the bat, but then I went nearly three hours without getting another bite," said Ritter, who fished the area of the Mississippi primarily below the Wabasha Bridge. "I was starting to really get nervous. But at about 10:30 a.m., I got three quick bites in a row and got back on track."
To his credit, Ritter never deviated from his overall fishing strategy all week, despite enduring conditions that would make most veteran anglers hang up their rods for good. In fact, over the four days of competition, temperatures fluctuated from a high of 96 degrees to a low of 56. To make matters worse, pouring rains, high winds and severe waves over the first three days of competition finally gave way to a high-pressure system that served up its own curveball during the finals: bluebird skies, a light breeze and searing temperatures.
But through it all, Ritter persevered.
"I used the same technique all week, swimming a jig through the grass," said Ritter. "The key was fishing the green grass. The water dropped on me a little bit, but it really didn't affect my fish. They stayed pretty shallow the whole time. You could literally see the water move when the fished moved; that's how shallow they were."
So what kind of jig wound up winning Ritter the biggest prize of his career?
"It was a homemade jig," he said. "I really don't have a name for it yet. Maybe I should start thinking about one?"
Once again, Ritter zigged when others zagged. While most anglers were using a combination of smallmouth and largemouth bass, Ritter decided that he would only target the largemouth bass in an effort to maximize his catch weight.
"All of my fish were largemouth bass," Ritter said. "I didn't catch a smallmouth all week."
With $10,000 in cash, a fully rigged Ranger boat valued at $40,000 and his first EverStart title of his career, it was clear that Ritter had had one of the best weeks of his career.
"This is by far the biggest win," he said. "Hopefully, it won't be my last."
Second tourney title on Mississippi barely eludes Lefebre
After winning the EverStart Northern Division tournament title on the Mississippi River in 2002, Lefebre proved yet again that he still has the Mississippi magic, turning in an impressive two-day catch of 20 pounds, 7 ounces, to grab second place overall. But with back-to-back stellar performances on the Mississippi River and $10,000 in prize money to add to his growing bank account, Lefebre said there was still room left for some good old-fashioned frustration to set in.
"It's disappointing," said Lefebre, who hails from Erie, Pa. "I really thought I had this tournament won. I gambled today and I thought it was going to pay off. But I came up a little short."
Fishing a Kimami Flash Senko-style bait, Lefebre said that he targeted bass in shallow water for most of the tournament.
"I was fishing super, super shallow," said Lefebre. "I was targeting bass under little pieces of duckweed. But I honestly don't think I caught a fish in any water deeper than 1 foot."
With strict DNR requirements that forced anglers to immediately decide whether to keep a fish or not - per state regulations, once a fish is in the livewell, it can't be exchanged for another larger fish later on - Lefebre was forced to make some tough decisions.
"Heading into the finals, I was only going to keep a fish if it was over 16 inches," he said. "But then I started thinking how the recent high-pressure system was going to keep catch weights low. So I decided to gamble everything and not throw back any fish today. I really thought my gamble paid off. I really did. I guess I was wrong."
Baumgardner nets third place
Chris Baumgardner of Gastonia, N.C., used a total two-day catch of 18 pounds, 7 ounces to win $9,000. However, had it not been for the sunshine, Baumgardner just might have pulled out a victory.
"I caught all of my (four) fish in the first hour, but then the sun came out and everything just shut down," he said. "I never could quite get that fifth fish."
Mike Feldermann of Galena, Ill., finished the tournament in fourth place after landing a total catch of 17 pounds, 12 ounces. Unfortunately for Feldermann, he met a fate similar to Baumgardner.
"I was catching fish on a buzzbait all week. But then the sun came out today and the bite was just dead."
Feldermann, who targeted "weeds and lily pads" most of the week, said he was generally happy with his performance despite the tough going in the finals.
"Overall, I had a good tournament," said Feldermann, who pocketed $8,000 in winnings. "I had a lot of fun."
Aaron LaRocque of Wabasha, Minn., took home fifth place and a check for $7,500 after landing a two-day total of 14 pounds, 4 ounces.
"The day started out slow right away," said LaRocque. "The water started to drop and the sun came out and I started to realize I was in trouble. I was really hoping for rain."
Best of the rest
Rounding out the top 10 pro finalists are Bob Izumi (sixth) of Milton, Ontario, with a two-day catch of 14 pounds; Wesley Strader (seventh) of Spring City, Tenn., with a catch of 10 pounds, 3 ounces; Douglas Stanton (eighth) of Winona, Minn., with a catch of 8 pounds, 14 ounces; Pete Gluszek (ninth) of Franklinville, N.J., with a catch of 7 pounds, 10 ounces; and Bill Chapman (10th) of Salt Rock, W. Va., with a catch of 7 pounds.

Shoulder instability is a relatively common problem. Even with contemporary surgical techniques, instability can recur following both open and arthroscopic fixation. Surgical management of capsular insufficiency in anterior shoulder stabilization represents a significant challenge, particularly in young, active patients. There are a limited number of surgical treatment options. The Laterjet technique can present with a number of intraoperative challenges and postoperative complication.
Description of Technique
We report an arthroscopic subscapularis tenodesis technique as a salvage procedure for challenging glenohumeral instability cases. Sutures are passed through the subscapularis tendon and capsule before they are tied as one in the subdeltoid psace. The rotator interval is closed with superior and medial advancement of anterior and inferior tissue. This technical note carefully describes this procedure with useful technical tips, illustrations, and diagrams.
Patients and Methods
Two clinical cases are described involving patients with recurrent instability following failed surgery who were successfully managed with this procedure.
Both cases described resulted in improved shoulder stability, range of motion, and function following management with this surgical technique. This arthroscopic subscapularis tenodesis procedure is proposed as a useful alternative repair technique for cases of recurrent instability after failed surgery with isolated capsular insufficiency.
It is believed that this arthroscopic subscapularis tenodesis technique can potentially provide similar outcomes to open bone block stabilization procedures, while reducing the risks associated with those procedures.

This semiotic analysis of early Nike women's advertising explores the evolution of the women's brand from its launch in 1990 through 2000, and includes twenty-seven print campaigns. The semiotic analysis is enhanced by in-depth interviews of the creative team. The study is framed by a single research question. What symbolically ties these ten years of advertising into a cohesive whole and how? Ultimately, three distinct mediated communities emerge. The story behind these communities, expressed semiotically and orally, suggests that the power of this advertising lies in its mediated construction of community life. The resonance of these ads is rooted in the creatives' ability to construct signifiers that reflect the cultural and social experiences of women, with storytelling as the single most binding force across this ten-year period.

Enjoy meatless Hawaiian cuisine! Hula's Island Grill offers an excellent selection of meatless Hawaiian food! They also have extravagant Hawaiian style cocktails!
If you want to socialize at the bar beforehand, arrive at 6:30pm. We'll be seated for dinner at 7pm. There will be a special meatless menu for the event where you can choose from different items. There will be one check per table, so please bring cash if you can. Stay tuned for more details.
Help the Environment
Eating with friends is fun, and even more fun if you're helping the environment at the same time. Reducing animal product consumption helps to reduce your personal contribution to greenhouse gas emissions and climate forcers, including carbon dioxide, methane, black carbon (soot), nitrous oxide, and tropospheric ozone. Plus, eating more veggies is good for you!
We'll make a reservation, so please RSVP and show up if you plan to go. To make sure our events are a success, if you're a no-show three times you won't be able to RSVP for the dinners anymore (it's nothing personal).
Be sure to check in with me so we can mark you as present on the RSVP list. That way I won't accidentally mark you as a no-show. Things get a little crazy as people arrive so I could easily make a mistake.
Hope to see you there! Multiple meetup groups are attending. If you'd like to meet more people than you're sitting next to, feel free to walk around and mingle with other tables. There will be people with a variety of eating styles at the event; all we ask is that everyone be respectful and kind to each other, and order a meatless dish to help the environment.
More Information About Meatless Monday
Our normal Meatless Monday dinners are the first Monday of the month at 6:30pm. We might have other special dinners on other Mondays of the month.
Here's more info about the international Meatless Monday campaign:
Here's the goal of the international Meatless Monday campaign, from their website:
"Meatless Monday is a non-profit initiative of The Monday Campaigns, in association with the Johns Hopkins' Bloomberg School of Public Health. We provide the information and recipes you need to start each week with healthy, environmentally friendly meat-free alternatives. Our goal is to help you reduce your meat consumption by 15% in order to improve your personal health and the health of the planet."
Here's a proclamation that the Santa Cruz County supervisors put together in support of Meatless Monday:
Here is the Meatless Monday Santa Cruz County Facebook page:
What Is Meat?
This is a question I have been asked. For clarity, it is the flesh of animals (kingdom Animalia) as used for food. Feel free to look up this kingdom if you like; for example, it does include fish and various sea creatures.
You come under your own liability to this event.

When the user is pressing the Search button that should look and see if there are any available properties for the date specified and show them, I guess the next page will be a loop page showing what's available.
Please give me an advice, how hard is this to implement? Is there any helpful plugin I can download and eventually customise?
I really need some feedback about this. Not mentioning the booking system I will be using for these properties is keepmebooked which stays in an iframe on the website, thing which I guess hurts SEO big time, isn't it?

AbstractThe US Army faces a significant burden in planning sustainment operations. Currently, logistics planners must manually evaluate potential emplacement sites to determine their terrain suitability. Sites subject to rainfall-runoff responses such as ponding are ill-suited for emplacements, but evaluating the likelihood of such responses requires significant time and expertise. To reduce the time and to ease the difficulty of logistics site selection we propose a series of Terrain Impact Decision Extensions (TIDE) to the My Weather Impacts Decision Aid (MyWIDA). TIDE performs data-fusion over a variety of terrain and weather data sets, and can reason with uncertainty to evaluate the suitability of potential logistics sites against a series of expert rules for a variety of emplacement systems.

The Criminal Alien Program: Immigration Enforcement in Travis County, Texas
By Andrea Guttin, Esq.
The Criminal Alien Program (CAP) is a program administered by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that screens inmates in prisons and jails, identifies deportable non-citizens, and places them into deportation proceedings. In this Special Report, The Criminal Alien Program: Immigration Enforcement in Travis County, Texas, author Andrea Guttin, Esq., provides a brief history and background on the CAP program. Guttin also includes a case study of CAP implementation in Travis County, Texas, which finds that the program has a negative impact on communities because it increases the community's fear of reporting crime to police, is costly, and may encourage racial profiling.

Applications of Algorithmically-Generated Digital Audio for Web-Based Sonic Measure Ear Training
This paper examines applications of algorithmically-generated digital audio for a new type of ear training. This approach, called sonic measure ear training, circumvents the many limits of MIDI-based aural testing, and may offer a valuable resource for computer musicians and audio engineers. The Post-Ut system, introduced here, is the first web-based ear training system to offer sonic measure ear-training. After describing the design of the Post-Ut system, including the use of athenaCL, Csound, Python, and MySQL, the audio generation procedures are examined in detail. The design of questions and perceptual considerations are evaluated, and practical applications and opportunities for future development are outlined.

Is it possible to link to/collect images from a network drive when doing a data merge? I've tried various paths in the csv/spreadsheet but nothing seems to work. Any tips?
Two things should get it working for you: 1. a specially named header row in the CSV and 2. the correct network path to the image. This path will vary depending if you're working on a Mac or PC.
Here's a really simple data merge CSV example for PC:

Don't Count on a Bonus This Holiday Season
Most small-business owners won't be handing out bonuses this holiday season.
Bad news, employees of small businesses. "Only 29% of small-business owners are planning to give bonuses this holiday season, according to a survey expected to be released Thursday by American Express OPEN, the company's small-business division," The Wall Street Journal reports. And if that's not bad enough, only 35 percent of small-business owners are expecting to host a holiday party, the lowest amount in the ten-year history of the survey. Employees will have to embarrass themselves in front of colleagues on their own time, on their own dollar.

Hello DWILers,
Long time lurker, first time poster. This is a new name, my usual account has my name in it, and i wanted to go anonymous for my own privacy. Trigger for mentions of cancer and death
BG; My MIL is a minor boundary stomper, GMOTY faker, and general pain in the patootie. She got put on a TO for almost two years for telling my DH that she'll "see him dead" and then hanging up on him when he joined the military.
FF; we just recently had our Squish. He is the last for us. a complicated high risk pregnancy and my body just cannot handle another pregnancy again. ever. we have come to grips with this.
One of the complications was my thyroid. it stopped working years ago and i managed it with meds and bloodwork. at my endocrinologist appt on friday, she told me that i have thyroid cancer. we havent talked about the next step yet, because she wanted to do some more testing before we make that decision.
i am in shock. Fri & Sat, DH turned off phones and dealt with the news. we talked until we had accepted the cancer and how we were going to handle this whole kerfuffle. On Sunday, we told the FOO and FIL on skype. they took it as well as it can be. They promised to love and support me all ways. MIL was a different story. We told her, and she was silent. Then she looked at me and said, "Well, when you die, i'll take the kids. Then since DH wont have you or the kids to hold him back, he can marry somebody else and start over..but do it right this time"
i was stunned. but before i could find my brains and lose it on her, DH stepped in. He got right in the camera and said," You have one chance to explain to me in what fucking way was that comment acceptable?" she spluttered and said it was just a joke. DH said it was the nastiest thing she has ever said, and it was the last time she' ll ever speak to us again. then he hung up.
He emailed FIL, (they divorced long ago) SILs, and GGMIL this;
"MIL has crossed the line with DW and I. As far as we are concerned, she is dead. Do not talk to us about her, and do not talk to her about us. If you pass information either way, we will limit contact for 6 months. if you do it twice, you will join her. period. happy holidays! love, Mr.NoSteakSauce."
That was yesterday. she has called, texted, emailed, facebooked and tried everything but smoke signals. i am just numb. who says that to someone who just found out they have cancer.
ill keep you all updated as the crazy keeps going.
bad joke (possible trigger) UD 4 5 11 17 19 22 24 26 27 bad update 57
OP, these updates, my good god. First one = I pooped my pants. Second one = I pooped my pants. I had no poop left for the FB posts and I don't want to talk about what happened when I read it.
Please don't make me pop a hemorrhoid reading your thread.
In all seriousness, I hope your punch thyroid cancer right in its face.
Ho-ly fucking hell. That's... that's... gyah... holy fucking hell! The BALLS on that woman! How do her balls fit on this planet??? They should be orbiting Jupiter!
Yikes. I know she is probably just evil, but she sounds actually delusional. I predict you will need to go the C&D route with her, for the BSC is strong.

Of the part I play in this dream that's coming true."

Claim: A meteor shower will be visible in North America in mid-August 2014.
Example: [Collected via e-mail, July 2014]
I thought this happened last year but it's showing up again:

August 13, these meteors will have best visibility during the night of August 12, 2014.

Spread This Message, so people can enjoy!
Origins: The gist of this item is true, although the phenomenon described is neither new nor rare.
The Perseids, so named because they appear to originate in the constellation Perseus, are an annual meteor shower first observed about 2,000 years ago. The Perseids shower is generally visible in the northern hemisphere from
In the Northern Hemisphere, the annual August Perseid meteor shower probably ranks as the all-time favorite meteor shower of the year. This major shower takes place during the lazy, hazy days of summer, when many families are on vacation. And what could be more luxurious than taking a siesta in the heat of the day and watching this summertime classic in the relative coolness of night? No matter where you live worldwide, the 2014 Perseid meteor shower will probably peak on the mornings ofHowever, in mid-August 2014 the Perseid meteor shower coincides with not just a full moon, but the largest "super moon" of the year, so the end of July will probably offer the best viewing opportunities:
August 11, 12 and 13.
The Perseids peak around Aug. 12 andAccording to an Astronomy.com article on the annual Perseid show:
Aug. 13, according to astronomers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, but the moon will be full at that time, and its light will outshine most of the meteors. So, if you want to catch the Perseids, now is your moment. There is just the barest sliver of a moon [on July 28], leaving the sky nice and dark for meteor viewing.
If you ask most skygazers to name their favorite meteor shower, the odds are good that "Perseid" will be the first word out of their mouths. This annual shower seemingly has it all: It offers a consistently high rate of meteors year after year; it produces a higher percentage of bright ones than most other showers; it occurs in August when many people take summer vacation; and it happens at a time when nice weather and reasonable nighttime temperatures are common north of the equator. No other major shower can boast all four of these attributes.

A 30-year-old history of pop music tops this week's pop culture picks
TOP PICK – All You Need Is Love (MVD)
Back in the mid-'70s, John Lennon proposed to British filmmaker Tony Palmer to make a documentary about the history of popular music. The 17-episode series aired across the globe from 1976 to 1981. This five-DVD set still thrills, as Palmer charts everything from ragtime and vaudeville to rock and country with the help of Lennon, Muddy Waters, and countless others. Essential viewing.
CD – Boredoms: Super Roots 9 (Thrill Jockey)
On Christmas Eve 2004, these Japanese noise-rockers hauled a 20-person choir onstage and made a glorious racket. The result is a 40-minute live epic, which peaks, dips, rises, and explodes in a flurry of guitars, synths, and drums. It's an amazing performance that holds together for the entire ride.
VIDEO GAME – Deca Sports (Hudson Entertainment)
Tired of the Wii Sports game that's bundled with the Wii? This outing features 10 new Olympic-style challenges, including figure skating, snowboarding, archery, and, um, curling. Like Nintendo's flagship disc, Deca Sports works best when you're playing with others. Who knew badminton could be so fun?
DVD – National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets (Walt Disney)
We've still got Indiana Jones fever, and this contemporary spin offers plenty of kicks—including a Bourne-like chase across London. Nicolas Cage is no Harrison Ford, but you'll be too caught up in the action—which takes place on landmarks like the Statue of Liberty and Mount Rushmore—to care.
CD – The Rough Guide to Congo Gold (World Music Network)
More than any other form of Afropop, Congolese rumba is made for casual dancing (think the jam-band shuffle). Horns and guitars play off of each other in a swirl of feet-moving grooves. This excellent compilation gathers old-school leaders of the music (we'd mention some, but you probably never heard of them) for an enlightening primer that doubles as an excellent groove disc.

In my theme I run a conditional statement wich checks if a user has the "read" capability, a capability every logged-in user should have, to decide wether certain content should be displayed or not. Recently someone pointed out to me, that subscribers could not see this content anymore, while contributors could. I tested this on an older wordpress install (version 2.0.5), and it worked fine there.
So, to summarize my question: Does anybody know why the command
if (current_user_can(read))
returns a false if the user has the role of subscriber?

A Fatal Waltz (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
At her friend Ivy's behest, Lady Emily Ashton reluctantly agrees to attend a party at the sprawling English country estate of a man she finds odious. But the despised Lord Fortescue is not to be her greatest problem. Kristiana von Lange, an Austrian countess once linked romantically with Emily's fiance, the debonair Colin Hargreaves, is a guest also. And a tedious evening turns deadly when their host is found murdered, and his protege, Robert Brandon Ivy's husband is arrested for the crime.
Determined to right a terrible wrong, Emily embarks on a quest that will lead her from London's glittering ballrooms to Vienna's sordid backstreets and into a game of wits with a notorious anarchist. But putting Colin in deadly peril may be the price for exonerating Robert forcing the intrepid Emily to bargain with her nemesis, the Countess von Lange, for the life of her fiance.
About the Author
Tasha Alexander is the author of the Lady Emily novels, a series of historical suspense, including "Tears of Pearl" and "Dangerous to Know". She attended the University of Notre Dame, where she signed on as an English major in order to have a legitimate excuse for spending all her time reading. She and her husband, novelist Andrew Grant, divide their time between Chicago and the UK.

A mother knows what she's saying
Published: Tuesday, July 10, 2007 at 8:48 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 10, 2007 at 11:39 a.m.
I was standing in my driveway the first time I saw the blue car flying down the street.
That jerk needs to slow down, I told my husband, about the same time the smirk appeared on his face.
The jerk, it turned out, was the Princess, who was easily doing 40 mph on a street thats zoned 25, I realized with horror.
She hadnt even gotten the car into park when I started yelling. "Youre going to get a ticket," I screamed, "or worse yet, hurt some kid or yourself by driving like a speed demon."
She was, in her typical fashion, totally nonplused.
"Ive got to drive fast, mom," she said in that condescending tone used by teenagers when they are speaking to parents. "Itll be OK."
A few days later, her dad got a call from a friend who lives a street away.
He was going to call the cops on the speeding car, he said, until he realized the drivers identity.
"Tell her to slow it down," he said, "before someone else turns her in."
I laid down the law.
If I witnessed her speeding again or got a report from someone else who had, the keys were mine. End of discussion.
Whatever. She wasnt buying it.
Neither are her brothers, whove done their own share of ignoring moms wise words of advice.
It was a bewildered Boy Wonder who one day confided in me about his girl troubles. I explained the mysterious workings of a teenage girls mind, telling him what I thought he should do to extricate himself from the relationship he sought to end, and how she would likely respond.
He did what I said, she did what I predicted, and he stuck to his guns, just like I advised. Well, not just like I advised. He caved after about 10 minutes, giving in to the tearful pleas for a second chance that I told him would result.
Why did I even bother?
Or how about the time that his stereo was liberated from the unlocked truck parked outside our home? I lectured him about his carelessness, and he promised to do better.
Night after night we went through the same routine: I asked him if the truck was locked, he said it was, and a check would reveal that wasnt so.
It took about a year, but someone else burglarized his unlocked truck yet again just a few weeks ago.
And then theres that cell-phone bill, which slowly crept up while the teens dad and I warned of impending doom.
Quit using it so much, we told the boy, who never says a word to me but can spend 3,000 minutes in a single month on the phone with friends. You cant possibly need to be on the phone 24/7 we lectured the girl, who sees the phone as some sort of life-support system.
They handled the problem the way they always do, by ignoring us. After all, what do a bunch of old coots like us know?
The bill, which they are required to pay themselves, was $500 in June.
Youd think they learned their lesson, right? Wrong. It was $600 this month.
Lawd, why wont these children listen?
My unheeded advice has resulted in all sorts of chaos, everything from runaway pets and skinned knees to parent-teacher conferences and cops at my doorstep.
Sometimes I wonder who has the most to learn: the children who turn deaf at the sound of my voice, or me, for foolishly thinking that this is the day that my words of wisdom would permeate their thick skulls.
Anyway, you can imagine my reaction when I stumbled from my bed Friday morning and went toward the kitchen.
The routine was disrupted when I saw something new on the dining-room table.
There, in a neat little pile, was a Mean Mommy Trifecta: the Princess drivers license lying next to her car keys and the speeding ticket I had longed predicted.
I stomped around for most of the day, ranting and raving about just how grounded she was.
Fifty-seven in a forty, I fumed, probably at least that many times.
But I have to give her credit for one thing: the keys, license and ticket, left atop the table like some offering, were evidence of a small comfort.
She knew the jig was up and offered no excuse for her crime.
On one point at least, she had been listening after all.

SURPRISE, Ariz. - The last time Nolan Ryan spent any time in the desert, he watched Texas Christian play Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl 15 minutes from the Surprise Recreation Campus.
The Horned Frogs entered their first Bowl Championship Series game with high expectations, and Ryan has heaped some lofty expectations upon the club he is about to help purchase.
He will be disappointed if the Texas Rangers fail to win the division or the wild-card berth, and last week he predicted they will win 92 games.
Ryan didn't back down much Friday, his first day at spring training this year.
"Will they do it? Who's to say?" said Ryan, the Rangers' president. "I think if things go right, we're capable of doing that, and I think that's enough to win our division."
While Ryan said he knows "nada" about what has been going on since pitchers and catchers reported Feb. 19, he has a good grasp of what will make his predictions come true.
Much of it is predicated on health, but Ryan said his next biggest concern is with the offense.
Last season, the Rangers scored fewer than 800 runs for the first time since 1995 and had their lowest batting average since 1992.
A new hitting coach, Clint Hurdle, is in place. So is a new cleanup hitter, Vladimir Guerrero. Ryan, though, said Josh Hamilton needs to stay on the field for the offense to click.
"Offensively, we have to be more productive," he said. "Obviously, you want a healthy Josh and he plays 140-plus games for you. You would like to think that if he's healthy and plays that number of games, he's going to be more productive."
Ryan also said there needs to be more production from the bottom of the batting order, especially the catchers. Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Taylor Teagarden are competing to be the No. 1 catcher, and Ryan thinks both are capable of posting good numbers at the plate without detracting from what they need to do defensively.
They will catch a pitching staff that should improve upon a breakthrough 2009 season, said Ryan, because of depth. Should an injury strike a member of the rotation, there is a quality replacement either in the bullpen or at Triple-A Oklahoma City to step in without much decline.
The depth excites Ryan, from the starting lineup through the back of the bullpen. But it won't be until toward the end of the spring the Rangers know the roles for all their pitchers.
Two in particular, C.J. Wilson and Neftali Feliz, were key relief pieces last season who are in the competition for the final two spots in the rotation.
Either could end up in the bullpen, and Ryan doesn't think the Rangers would be stunting Feliz's future as a starter with another year in the bullpen. Team needs will determine where Wilson and Feliz end up pitching once the regular season opens April 5.
"I want us to break camp with an agreement that the five guys we're going to put in the rotation are the five guys we have the best chance of winning with," Ryan said. "It also will come down to putting the bullpen together and trying to decide where does somebody serve us best.
"There could be somebody who pitched well as a starter here, and they could get the nod as a starter, but we may have some need in the bullpen that we feel is more important. We can't short the club because we want to give someone an opportunity to start."
No matter how the pitching picture shakes out, Ryan expects the Rangers to be better than last year when they went 87-75 and finished second in the American League West.
Anything short of a playoff berth will be a disappointment.
"I'll take it any way I can get it," Ryan said. "I think our goal as an organization is get in the postseason. If we do it through the wild card, I don't see an issue there either."

I thought the first ultrasound was amazing, today I get to enjoy the early pregnancy a little more!Ā DH and I could see a physical change this morning!Ā Got to sleep in so woke up with an empty stomach and low-and-behold what did we see? A definite bump! I told him this is probably why my pants didnt fit very well yesterday. Very subtle, only noticable to us I am sure still (and I'm ok with that) but amazing to see everything becoming so real!
Sorry, first one and I get excited about little things

AbstractPicometrix's time-domain terahertz (TD-THz) non-destructive evaluation (NDE) technology could be usedto inspect space flight structures such as inflatable space habitats, thermal protection systems (TUFI-typetiles, SOFI TPS), for voids, disbonds, and damage such as tearing and micron-meteorite impact. In thisPhase I SBIR project, we propose to test the feasibility of three key technological changes which couldsubstantially reduce the volume, mass, and power requirement of the TD-THz instrumentation, making itmore suitable for use by an operator in space. The current instrumentation paradigm is that a multi-purposeTD-THz control unit is used to provide common drive, data acquisition, and analysis functionality tointerchangeable sensors and imaging which connect to the control unit with a fiber-optic/electricalumbilical. However, the current COTS control unit is substantially larger and heavier than would bedesirable for a space-flight capable unit. The proposed developments would enable a control unit for ahand held NDE imaging tool, sufficiently robust for spaceflight, no larger than a small shoebox. It shouldbe possible to reduce the size of the control unit to approximately one sixth of the current values to, forexample, 14 in. X 8 in. X 4 in and 10 pounds.

PREVIEWS: "Daredevil," "Uncanny X-Men," & More Marvel Comics On Sale August 3, 2016
Comic Books
Awards | Sonny Liew's "The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye" is the first graphic novel to win the Singapore Literature Prize for English Fiction. Ironically, the awards are supported by Singapore's National Arts Council, which had originally provided financial support for the book but withdrew it last summer when controversy arose over its contents. "The award is given by the Book Council rather than NAC, so I don't think it represents change in NAC's stance towards the book, but it is a real honour winning this prize and gives me more encouragement for future projects," Liew said. [Malay Mail]
Graphic novels | Sonny Liew's graphic novel The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye has sold through its second printing in Singapore and is heading into a third, just weeks after the country's National Arts Council abruptly withdrew funding. The graphic novel traces the career of pioneering Singaporean cartoonist Charlie Chan Hock Chye through 60 years of the country's history and includes satirical portrayals of Lee Kuan Yew, the first prime minister of Singapore, and his rival Lim Chin Siong. An NAC official said it "potentially undermines the authority or legitimacy of the Government and its public institutions." The graphic novel has already sold 2,500 copies, making it "the top-selling local fiction title so far this year."
Manga | Vernieda Vergara examines the way Attack on Titan reflects Japanese politics and history as well as the current sense of social anxiety experienced by young people of creator Hajime Isayama's generation: "One of the biggest criticisms levied against Japan's youth is that they lack the ambition of previous generations. But if the majority have no hope of advancement due to a corporate wall, why is that a surprise? In the manga, most people are content to live inside the walls. It's safe. But as the manga's protagonist, Eren, says, that's like living in a cage. There's no hope for something more. Eren, along with his allies, don't accept this fate as easily. They fight against it actively." [Women Write About Comics]
Call it the Streisand Effect, Singapore-style: Sonny Liew's graphic novel The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye has sold out at bookstores across Singapore after the National Arts Council pulled its funding from the book at the last minute, citing "sensitive content."
The book had an initial press run of 1,000 copies, and all 500 of the copies allotted to Books Kinokuniya Singapore are gone. Other bookstores also report a run on the book, and the publisher has no more copies in the warehouse; a second printing is planned. Publisher Edmund Wee of Epigram Books attributed the sellout to a combination of the controversy and Liew's popularity. To give an idea of the scale of graphic novel sales in Singapore, a typical Epigram book sells about 500 copies a year.
Graphic novels | The National Arts Council of Singapore has withdrawn a $8,000 publication grant for Sonny Liew's graphic novel The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye, a biography of the Singaporean comics pioneer that depicts some tumultuous events in the nation's history. "We had to withdraw the grant when the book The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye came out because its sensitive content, depicted in visuals and text, did not meet our funding conditions," said Khor Kok Wah, senior director of the literary arts sector of the NAC. He did not specify what the "sensitive content" was, but the book makes satirical references to Singaporean politics and history. The publisher, Epigram, will return the $6,400 that was disbursed already and will cover the NAC's logo on the book cover with a sticker. The book will be published next year in the United States by Pantheon. [Straits Times]
After teasing the project in July with a video and earlier this week with a pair of images, BOOM! Studios has announced Abigail and the Snowman, a four-issue miniseries by Roger Langridge.
Debuting in December from the publisher's KaBOOM! imprint, the all-ages comic centers on a 9-year-old girl with a wild imagination who moves to a small town, where she's the new kid who struggles to make friends. However, that changes when Abigail meets Claude, a Yeti pursued by the Shadow Men" after he escaped a top-secret government facility.
An Eisner and Harvey award winner, Langridge is no stranger to BOOM!, where he's worked on The Muppet Show, Popeye, his creator-owned Snark! and the upcoming Jim Henson's The Musical Monsters of Turkey Hollow.
"I'm doing this book for BOOM! mainly because they asked me, really," the cartoonist explained in the video released in July. "They asked me if I had some ideas, and they've been good to me in the past as far as all-ages material goes — they know how to sell all-ages material, which is what this is."
Legal | The Japanese magazine Monthly Big Gangan has put the series Hi Score Girl on hold following allegations by the game company SNK Playmore that the manga is using its characters without authorization. The publisher, Square Enix, already recalled the five volumes of the series published so far and stopped releasing the manga digitally. [Anime News Network]
Creators | Gail Simone and Ethan Van Sciver talk about bringing Wonder Woman to Gotham City in their two-part story for DC Comics' new digital first anthology Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman. [Hero Complex]
Creators | Sonny Liew, creator of Malinky Robot and the artist of The Shadow Hero (written by Gene Luen Yang) was born in Malaysia, went to school in Singapore, then went to college in the United Kingdom and art school in the United States on his way to becoming a comics creator. There wasn't much of a homegrown comics scene when Liew was growing up, so he read mostly imports, but that's changing, and his newest project is an anthology featuring creators from the region. [The Malay Mail]
In The Shadow Hero, cartoonist Gene Luen Yang collaborates with artist Sonny Liew to tell the story of Hank Chu, the teenage son of Chinese immigrants who run a small store in Depression-era Chinatown. As with much of Yang's best-known work, this new original graphic novel deals with themes of cultural, national and racial identity, and the tensions and conflicts that arise when identities and outlooks collide.
Here, Hank finds himself pressured by his mother to become a wholly American invention, a sort of ultimate assimilation success story. She doesn't want him to grow up to be a doctor or lawyer or politician, but a superhero, a thought put in her head when she's rescued from a robber by the Superman stand-in The Anchor of Justice.
Their book is an excellent one, a perfect example of a modern superhero comic, masterfully and perfectly balancing comedy, crime, action, drama, melodrama, romance and fantasy into an epic story of a young man coming of age and finding himself.
As good as Yang and Liew's story is, however, the story of their story may be just as fascinating, in large part because it's true, and gives the comic they crafted a remarkable level of relevance. That story is told after the conclusion of The Shadow Hero, in the generous back-matter of the First Second book, presented in standard superhero-comic size, rather than the smaller, more square shape of most of the publisher's offerings.
The third volume of Archie comics' Archie: The Married Life has been banned in Singapore because the collection includes the issue depicting the wedding of gay character Kevin Keller.
The move was discovered by Singapore-based cartoonist Sonny Liew (The Shadow Hero, My Life With Frankie), who searched for the collection in the Books Kinokuniya online catalog following the controversial decision by the National Library Board to removed and destroy copies of three gay-themed children's books amid public pressure.
Finding volumes 1, 2, 4 and 5 but not the third — which contains Keller's marriage to Clay Walker in Life With Archie #16 — Liew contacted the retailer, and received the following response: "We regret that Archie the Married Life 3 is deemed to breach the Content Guidelines for Imported Publications, and removed from sale by notice of MDA. We are not able to sell this title."
Retailing | A federal judge has lifted a temporary restraining order blocking the $21.4 million sale of retail chain Hastings Entertainment to Joel Weinshanker, president and sole shareholder of Wizkids parent National Entertainment Collectibles Association. Two Hastings shareholders had sued to stop the sale, insisting the price paid for the retailer is too low; however, U.S. District Judge Mary Lou Robinson found, in part, that they failed to prove they would be irreparably harmed if the sale were completed before they could have their day in court (Texas law permits dissenting stockholders to seek monetary damages after a merger). Hastings, which operates 149 stores that sell books, comics, video games and more, has called a special shareholder meeting for July 15, during which the sale is expected to be approved. [Amarillo Globe-News, ICv2.com]
Gene Luen Yang and Sonny Liew's The Shadow Hero will be serialized digitally each month by First Second beginning Feb. 18.
The upcoming graphic novel crafts a new origin for the Green Turtle, an obscure Golden Age character believed to have been imagined as Chinese-American by his creator Chu Hing — making him the very first Asian-American superhero.
"His publishers didn't think that would fly in the marketplace," Yang explained last year, "so Chu Hing reacted in this really passive-aggressive way: He drew those original Green Turtle comics so that we never see the hero's face. Whenever the hero is on a panel, we almost always just see his cape. Whenever he is turned around, something is blocking his face. […] Rumor is that Chu Hing did this so he could imagine his hero as he originally intended, as a Chinese-American."
In The Shadow Hero, the Green Turtle is envisioned as a young Asian-American immigrant whose mother is excited about having a superhero for a son, "with at times disastrous results."
While we eagerly await the release of Gene Luen Yang and Sonny Liew's graphic novel The Shadow Hero, a revival of the Golden Age superhero the Green Turtle, Tor.com has posted a seven-part prequel strip by the duo that originally appeared in the comics anthology Shattered. It's a nice preview of what we can expect from the book, to be published by First Second.
Created in 1944 by artist Chu Hing, the Green Turtle appeared in only a handful of adventures before fading into obscurity. According to Yang, Hing intended for his hero to be of Chinese-American.
"His publishers didn't think that would fly in the marketplace," Yang said in a video released last fall, "so Chu Hing reacted in this really passive-aggressive way: He drew those original Green Turtle comics so that we never see the hero's face. Whenever the hero is on a panel, we almost always just see his cape. Whenever he is turned around, something is blocking his face. […] Rumor is that Chu Hing did this so he could imagine his hero as he originally intended, as a Chinese-American."
Check out another installment of the strip below, and read the whole series at Tor.com.

Conventions | Cleveland's small-press comics convention Genghis Con is this weekend, with a guest list that includes Derf Backderf (My Friend Dahmer) and Mike Sangiacomo (Tales of the Starlight Drive-In). [The Plain Dealer]
Gene Luen Yang, whose two-volume Boxers & Saints was shortlisted just this morning for the National Book Award, has revealed details about his follow-up: a revival of the Golden Age superhero the Green Turtle with Sonny Liew (My Faith in Frankie, Malinky Robot).
Yang has mentioned the graphic novel, most recently last month in an interview with Comic Book Resources, but BoingBoing now has the final cover for The Shadow Hero, to be published by First Second Books, along with a video laying out the "secret origin" of Green Turtle, who was intended by his creator Chu Hing, who's said to have wanted the character to be Chinese-American.
Manga | The Japanese market research firm Oricon reports sales of manga volumes (tankobon) slipped 1.5 percent last year, to about $2.886 billion, the first decline since the company began reporting the figures in 2009. [Anime News Network]

Recent events in Iraq seem to pose a challenge to a limited view of presidential war powers.

Zee included in 2013 Gear Guy Guide
by Jamie Grayson for Stroller Traffic
Stroller Traffic KNOWS that "Choosing a stroller can seem more complicated than buying a car. No joke. To help streamline the process, we asked our trusted Gear Guy, Jamie Grayson of the BabyGuy Gear Guide, to offer some guidance."
Jamie broke down the stroller buying process to a few simple questions:
"To Bassinet or not to Bassinet?
Can it accommodate an infant Car Seat?
What is your living situation?
Can you fold or push it with one hand?
Is the seat reversible?
How are those wheels?"
We thought the Zee Stroller checked most of those boxes and Jamie mentioned it in the Article "the Valco Baby Zee ($329.99) also has an amazing fold (and it fits on a shelf in my closet)."

Garden Guy: Rats can be a nuisance around home
(Picture sent of orange fruit hanging on tree partially hollowed out). I thought it might be a rat. Caught one, but can't catch any others. Whatever it is, it eats the oranges before ripe and hollows them out. Sometimes there are bugs in the oranges, but not sure if they are just scavengers on partially eaten oranges.
Hollowed out oranges, hanging on the tree or on the ground, are definitely signs of rat feeding. There are four rodents in Hawaii that can actually cause economic hardship: the roof or black rat, the Norway or brown rat, the Polynesian or Hawaiian rat, and the house or field mouse.In addition, they are carriers of contagious diseases including plague, murine typhus, leptospirosis, and salmonellosis. Rodent control is not easy due to their ability to adapt to changes and their capacity to reproduce.
Rats are nocturnal. They have excellent memories and very repetitious habits.
They are easily frightened of new things placed in their environment. The roof rat is most pronounced in this tendency. Rats have a keen sense of smell and hearing, and only a fair sense of sight with the ability to see in the dark.
Besides the hollowed out oranges, common signs of rodents are droppings, rubmarks, gnawings, nests, and unpleasant odors.
In controlling these pests around the home, the first step is to clean up the environment by removing accesses to food and shelter. Physical barriers such as screens may need to be installed. When only a few rats are involved trapping can
be effective. For field problems, secure snap traps to limbs and bait with raisins, citrus or other fruits. Traps should be baited and left unset until bait is readily consumed.
Paraffin-type bait blocks containing anticoagulants are very effective in controlling rats. They appeal to the rats gnawing instinct, especially those blocks with numerous ridges. Baits should be replaced immediately as they are eaten, since only a single feeding on the first generation anticoagulants (diphacinone) will not control rats. Baits must be eaten over a period of several successive days.
For safety, baits other than blocks should be placed in bait stations. For outdoor infestations, the blocks can be secured to limbs six feet or more above the ground, out of reach of children and dogs.
Some poisons have a secondary effect which will affect animals which consume dead or nearly dead rodents. Thus, it is imperative that strict safety precautions be used in the placement and disposal of poison baits for rodents.
Are you familiar with bacterial blight of anthuriums? What treatment do you recommend? Are all anthuriums subject to the disease? Thank you for your time.
Bacterial blight of anthurium is a very difficult disease to control. It is systemic within the plant. The bacteria can be spread by propagation material, tools, mud from shoes and even wet clothing brushing up against infected leaves. Every effort needs to be made to eradicate the disease from the property, or at least, to contain it so it does not spread to other areas.
Here are some things to do:
1. Remove all infected plants and burn, bury or bag them.
2. Beds or areas that are infected need to remain fallow for at least two months before replanting.
3. Plant using only disease free material.
4. The bacteria is spread by water droplets, either rain or irrigation water. Thus keeping plants under cover as much as possible will help slow the spread of the disease.
There is varying susceptibility of this disease among anthurium cultivars. The UH Extension Service publication "Bacterial Blight of Anthurium" by Wayne Nishijima notes the response of different cultivars to the disease.

External links got updated.
External links got updated.
Weird... Did you add one in manually? Might you be using another external links plugin? Might you be using some kind of post content caching plugin?
No I didn't add manually. The only plugins I have activated on my blog are: Head META Description, Optimal Title, WordPress Database Backup and now External Links.
When I create a post, it works perfectly. When I edit (no actual editing, just click on the edit link) that post and save it, all my external links have class "external external". To rectify it, I have to delete classes of all links.
Here's more... When I again edit the post (without deleting the classes) and save, the "external" class is added thrice (class="external external external"). Which means, every time I click on edit and save, an extra "external" class is added.
this is a WP workflow error as far as I can tell, but I'll add the fix to the next version nonetheless.
