The longitudinal dispersion of contaminants due to mass transport induced by random surface waves is examined. The wave kinematics under random waves are first derived, including the second-order drift profile. The relationship between the dispersive coefficient and wave drift is then established following the approach in J. Hydraul. Res. (2000) 38:41–48. Subsequently, the magnitude of the longitudinal dispersive coefficient is examined under both developed and developing sea states, represented by the P–M spectrum and the Wen spectrum, respectively. The results show that the longitudinal dispersion by random waves is significantly stronger than an equivalent regular sea state with a similar wave energy density. Furthermore, the dispersive effect in the developing sea state is found to be stronger than the developed sea state with comparable wave-energy density, which can be attributed to the differences in the spectral shape between the two states.

The posedown is the five-man finally of a bodybuilding competition. It's time to flex those guns man-against-man for every crucial point possible. The posedown is the last chance to jump ahead one or even two places with an incredible set of poses.
All five bodybuilders know that all their hard work, determination, and dedication comes down to this, which explains the overwhelming amount of animation, charisma, and energy displayed. There are two ways to attack the posedown. One calls for undistracted preprogrammed poses, the other: intelligent improvising.
1. Pre-Programmed Poses:
The stategy of the first method is to remain one-step-ahead of your competition by simply going through your preset posedown routine with utter excellence, no matter how hard they try to intimidate you into mimicing their poses. Bodybuilders obviously have a lot of perserverance to have such amazing bodies.
This means that the more you ignore a challenger, the more he or she will try harder to detract you from your routine and go one-on-one with them. By doing this, however, they admit that you are the man or women to beat. The judges just might notice it.

2. Intelligent Improvising:
The other attack plan often used requires quick reactions, awesome poses, and strategic improvising. Rather than ignore the challenges presented to you, respond vigorously to each and every one, while delivering a few challenges of your own. Sometimes a heated posedown is the only way to settle who is the best.
The audience loves this kind of aggression, but don't expect this method to influence judges to place you higher. They know the rightful winner, based on overall performance, regardless of intense animation.
Keep in mind, this is merely a broad outline. Posing is individual. Who knows? See what works for you. I guess it comes down to your mood, your personality, and your perception of what the judges want. Pay close attention to how they respond to and rank bodybuilders in other weight classes. You should do just fine.

Afternoon Chat by VSRIWatch
Fousen Works's lovely ladies Abagale and Millie.
Both girls look very nice and lovely in their uniforms in this picture you've done.
I'm not really a big fan of anthro but this piece is stunning. I love the color pallete you used and the lighting. Like my art teacher used to say, the best art has the lightest lights and the darkest darks.
They look more like they're about to fight something than simply chatting.
LOVE their facial expressions!
Shirts stretched over breasts wouldn't follow the curve so precisely back under to their sternums like that unless it was cut specifically to fit them that way - the fabric should be convex from the widest part of the breasts at least down to the lower ribs/waist.
a quite good piece, I'm no expert on anatomy but I keep thinking the legs are a tad long...and I have to agree that the facial expressions, while each works on it's own, don't work well together, and kinda take away from the piece as a whole
Neat but the bodies are like the exact same? One's just smaller as if resized.
They're at slightly different angles and painted differently.
So no, not the same.
The same shape, yes.
So no, not the same.
The same shape, yes.
good, but DD? dont think so
Cute! Love the colours!
Shape of body is cool, but expresion... um , they looks like dead dolls.
love the shadding, the expression in both characters are very well done and mix perfectly with their posing, and of course, they are lovely healty ladies faving this
P.S.D: sorry if ma english is dull, just finished learning

Congrats on the DD~!
i normally fucking hate anything that's furry related.. but this is alright
I'm not a big fan of furries, but I love this. The lighting and atmosphere are amazing and instantly drew my eyes.
Girls will be Girls, even when their a different genus! Great artwork!
Congrats on the DD
So cuuute. Good job!!!
Wow! Your coloring is amazing!
Awesome work!!
Awesome coloring, it really is amazing! The lightning (like on the ground and on the characters) just blows me away! Also Anthros ftw! Thanks for letting me see something so great!
Congrats on the well deserved DD!
Have a nice day!
Have a nice day!

Okay awesome, I just raped the favorite button with my mouse XD
Cute. Are they Girl Scouts or Park Rangers? Such short skirts!
Great work on these two, I really love how you did every part of this piece, it looks amazing and I can see alot has been put into this too.
haha ^^ hotties...
looooooooooooooooove it
It's good to see girls so confident in spite of all that visible facial hair.
Very nice
Great work as always man.

this is so beautiful view
if they are lost i can help them find thier way
Wow those chicks are hot!

Aw, now I'm crying!
Civil ceremonies in San Francisco are in a more beautiful building than almost any religious wedding. Let the churches rot in their middle-ages ideals, City Hall is cooler anyway.
Congrats to the newly weds.
I'm glad I'm not there. I'm the last person people would expect to cry at weddings, but for whatever reason I usually at least get a little misty eyed. Couple that with significant social and cultural change and sappy music and I would be a goner.
Do you have pictures of the scene?
That's ridiculously sweet. (My cousin got married during the World Cup and I had to miss lots of games. Sigh.)
oh sweet jesus that made me cry...
Oh, Jub. It's hard to picture you crying.
Turkey lost but they played their hearts out, you can be very proud.
He should come up and say hi! I'm working on the fourth floor of city hall right now. Congratulations on your friends getting married. Who knows, my boss may be officiating their wedding right now (she is performing marriages this afternoon).
Having marched for marriage now for at least ten years, it make me weep to know there are those of us who have finally achieved the dream. Don't blow it with messy public divorces the way straight people do!
Cheebus--Jubilation's got all corny on us!!
I think I prefer the snarky JTC who stalks men on the #26 bus to the dewy-eyed flower girl visiting SF...
Then again, I started watching the HBO John Adams mini-series last night and got all teary eyed when they read the Declaration of Independence so who am I to throw stones at glass cornpones?
nice post
yes it was a beautiful post. i hate to say it, tho, but i'm waiting for the other shoe to drop on this one, too. i just can't believe the homophobes aren't gonna find some way to invalidate these marriages, too. they'll find some way, some little stick-up-the-ass thing that throws icewater on it. god, i hope i'm wrong.
Hey gang, thanks for the reactions...I'm pleased to say that my dear friends are now married! The ceremony was brief but wonderful, and, extra special cool, we all stood next to the newly unveiled bust of Harvey Milk.
The death of Harvey Milk -- hell, any thought at all of Harvey Milk, for me, always results in a sense of rage. I know this is the antithesis of his message, but sue me -- a more unfair end, for more ridiculous reasons, is hard to fathom. Harvey died the hard way, and took his incredibly promising life with him.
But today, as my frieds held one another's hands and cried and we all cried too, there was Harvey Milk, three feet away, smiling at all of the guys and gals in suits, in jeans, in Gap khakis, in dresses...the new couples in our midst would do well to thank Harvey and, just for the hell of it, smile back.
How lovely. I so hope these marriages stick, unlike the ones authorized by the city a few years back. It's almost enough to make me reregister to vote in CA, (live here, but still have property there, so I think it would be legal) to vote against that loathsome proposition.
My husband and I got married at SF city hall 3 years ago, and it's a wonderful place for a wedding. I'm so happy to see all kinds of couples enjoying it.

July 2 (Bloomberg) -- Roche Holding AG, the world's biggest maker of cancer drugs, agreed to buy Seragon Pharmaceuticals Inc. for as much as $1.7 billion to gain a new generation of experimental treatments for breast tumors.
Roche will pay $725 million in cash for Seragon, a closely held company based in San Diego, and as much as $1 billion extra if certain development targets are met, the Basel, Switzerland- based company said in a statement today.
The deal gives Roche drugs designed to stop tumors from growing by blocking estrogen, which about 60 percent of breast cancers depend on to grow and spread. Roche's existing treatments, such as Herceptin and Perjeta, treat women whose cancer cells have a gene mutation that results in the generation of extra proteins known as HER2. Such HER2-positive cancers account for about 20 percent of cases.
"This acquisition will allow Roche to fill a gap in its pipeline," Olav Zilian, an analyst at Helvea SA in Geneva, wrote in a report. "If this acquired compound turns out to be successful, it will allow Roche to expand its activities in oncology substantially."
Seragon's lead drug, ARN-810, is in early-stage tests among women with so-called hormone receptor-positive breast cancer that resisted other medicines. The drug isn't likely to reach the market for six to eight years, Zilian said.
Redefining Care
Seragon's technology "could one day redefine the standard of care for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer," Richard Scheller, head of research and early development for Roche's Genentech unit, said in the statement.
Seragon was founded last year by the same scientists who formed Aragon Pharmaceuticals Inc., the company that Johnson & Johnson bought in August for as much as $1 billion. Its investors include Aisling Capital, the Column Group, OrbiMed, VenBio and Topspin.
Richard Heyman, chief executive officer at Seragon, co- founded Aragon and served as its CEO. Edna Chow Maneval and Nicholas D. Smith, both former Aragon executives, are Seragon's vice president of clinical research and vice president of chemistry, respectively.
Roche rose 0.1 percent to 264.50 Swiss francs at 2:11 p.m. in Zurich trading.

US. Well, I'm less interested in the book—I believe the tarot deck I'm looking for comes with it (like a set). For the most part you don't need to read the cards, just know the symbols.

Horrific Long Island Bus Crash Kills Boy in House
The bus swerved to avoid a pedestrian.
A bus went out of control when the driver swerved to avoid a pedestrian in Hempstead Tuesday night, but the pedestrian got hit anyway as the bus careened into a house, killing a 6-year-old boy inside. About 30 people were on board the N70 Nassau Inter-County Express bus, 15 of whom (along with the pedestrian) suffered non-life-threatening injuries, the New York Times reports. The boy and his brother were getting ready for bed when the bus crashed through the wall; their mother was in the kitchen making their lunches, a family friend told the New York Daily News. "We were just talking. Then … I can't describe it."

Osirak: Over the reactorBreaking News
Had mission commander Col Zeev Raz's risk assessment been proven right, one pilot would have ejected over Baghdad and another would have been waiting out in the desert for helicopters to rescue him in the night.
Yet the loss of two planes would have been a price worth paying in the eyes of the pilots of the eight F-16s and their two F-15 escorts: several believed they were averting nothing less than a new Holocaust of the Jews.
"No-one thought that all eight F-16s would return, no-one," the retired colonel says.
"We were really amazed that all of us landed back safely without a scratch."
Col Raz is the most vocal of the surviving pilots. For personal security reasons, three of them - Pilots A, B and C - would only talk to the BBC on condition of anonymity.

hi good plguin
I like it have:
- integrate with Ceceppa Multilingua
- statics
but need more feuters like
- Multiple post send
-integrate with wooCommerce product
The idea is there. It could possibly be a great pluggin if it had some more work.
I love the features but hated the time it took to send 1800 newsletters out. 12 to 14 hours is really not acceptable.
How do I figure out the BASIC steps to using this product?? Thanks.
After update worpress and update the plugin. It doesn't create de list of recipients.
Don't work for now.

I made this for a event out at the Post. The guys loved it. It is spicy but very good. I served with chips and crackers. This was a big hit. All night long people were asking what was in it. The guys wanted me to make more of this. So for the next event I will be making this. Thanks for posting
This was really good, except that I only used two jalapenos. I was afraid the my co-workers who would be eating it may have burned their mouths off otherwise. It was a huge hit and I'm told could have used one more jalapeno and still been allright.

Sunday Alamba, File, Associated Press
NEW YORK — As the Ebola outbreak in West Africa worsens, airlines around the globe are closely monitoring the situation but have yet to make any drastic changes. Below are some key questions about the disease, what airlines are doing and how safe it is to fly.
Q: Why are airlines concerned?
A: Airlines quickly take passengers from one part of the globe to another. With some germs, one sick passenger on a plane could theoretically infect hundreds of people who are connecting to flights to dozens of other countries. Health and airline officials note, however, that Ebola only spreads through direct contact. Outbreaks of diseases that can spread through the air, such as the flu and severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, are more problematic for airlines.
Q: Should people travel to West Africa?
A: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a warning last week for Americans to avoid nonessential travel to West African nations with the outbreak.
Q: Is Ebola deadly?
A: Very much so. If contracted, there is no vaccine and no specific treatment. The World Health Organization on Friday said this is the largest and longest outbreak ever recorded of Ebola. About 1,700 people have been sickened in Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria; nearly 1,000 people have died.
Q: How is Ebola transmitted?
A: The virus only spreads through direct contact with the blood or fluids of an infected person, according to the CDC. It can also be spread through objects, such as needles, that have been contaminated with infected fluids. No airborne transmission has been documented.
Q: Do U.S. airlines fly to West Africa?
A: Delta Air Lines flies to Dakar, Senegal; Accra, Ghana and Lagos, Nigeria. The airline also flies to Monrovia, Liberia, but for unrelated business reasons previously announced it will cancel that service at the end of September. Delta is letting passengers with flights to the region now until Aug. 15 push back travel until the end of the month. United Airlines also flies to Lagos, but has not issued any travel waiver. American Airlines does not fly to Africa.
Q: What are U.S. airlines saying about it?
A: There have been no flight cancelations. All three airlines said they are in regular communication with government agencies and health officials and will follow their recommendations.
Q: What about airlines from other countries?
A: European carriers such as Air France-KLM, British Airways and Lufthansa all fly to Western Africa from their hubs in Paris, Amsterdam, London and Frankfurt.
British Airways announced Tuesday that it is suspending flights to and from Liberia and Sierra Leone until Aug. 31 "due to the deteriorating public health situation in both countries." Passengers with tickets can request a full refund or a flight at a later date. The only other airline, so far, to cancel any flights is the Middle East airline Emirates. It has suspended its service to Conakry, Guinea, until further notice. It is still flying to Dakar.
Lufthansa notes that "there is no risk of getting infected by the Ebola virus via air circulation during flight." Crews on Brussels Airlines flights have access to special thermoscans to check passengers' temperature, if they feel it's necessary. Air France has put an Ebola plan into action that includes medical protection kits and disinfectant gel available to the crew. Passengers leaving Africa must fill out a questionnaire when entering the airport. They then have their temperature taken. They are only given a boarding pass if no symptoms are present.
Q: Are passengers leaving Africa being screened?

SDCC: Marvel's "Doctor Strange" Combats "Death and Pain" in New Trailer
Comic Books, Film
At this past weekend's MegaCon in Orlando, Florida, a working, replica R2-D2 was spotted that donned the Mandalorian armor of everybody's favorite "Star Wars" bounty hunter (sorry, Bossk fans), Boba Fett.
Cosplayer Victoria Schmidt (Scruffy Rebel) captured the following pictures and footage of the impressive R2-D2/Boba Fett droid:
If you hear someone bellow "I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!" this weekend at MegaCon, odds are that it's Bryan Doell — and you'll probably want to get out of his way.
After talking about it for two years, the South Florida costume and prop maker finally decided in April to bring the X-Men's longtime nemesis, and occasional ally, to life — all 7 feet 2 inches of him.
With the help of tattoo artist Kelly Rogers, lifelong comics fan John Engle has spent the past year transforming his back into a tribute to the characters he loves. There, Spider-Man, the Hulk, Carnage and Venom share space with Batman, The Joker and Spawn — Engle enjoys a good intercompany crossover.
However, there was one thing missing: Stan Lee's seal of approval. And over the weekend at MegaCon in Orlando, Florida, Engle got it. The legendary creator signed his back, just above Spider-Man (where else?), then Rogers made the famous signature permanent.
Orlando's MegaCon has been sold to Informa PLC, the multinational media company that owns Fan Expo Canada organizer Hobby Star Marketing and Dallas Comic Con.
Beth Widera, who's owned the 22-year-old Florida convention since purchasing it in 2003 from CrossGen, confirmed the sale to the Orlando Sentinel. She will remain as executive director. Continue Reading »
Conventions | Organizers anticipate as many as 70,000 people will attend MegaCon, held Friday through Sunday at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, up from about 60,000 last year; that could translate to $23 million impact on the local economy, according to the Orlando Business Journal. Guests include Amanda Conner, Darwyn Cooke, Chuck Dixon, Adam Kubert, Greg Land, Stan Lee, Jimmy Palmiotti, George Perez, Herb Trimpe, Mark Waid and Skottie Young. However, the names drawing the most attention may be The Walking Dead stars David Morrissey, Danai Gurira and Steve Yeun. "We are the first convention in the U.S. to have both David Morrissey and Danai Gurira at the same time," Jason Smith, MegaCon's director of operations, told Florida Today. "The show is definitely a fan favorite of our attendees." [MegaCon]
MeganCon 2012 kicks off in a matter of hours in Orlando, Florida, drawing thousands of comic book, science fiction and fantasy fans to the Orange County Convention Center over the next three days.
Comic guests include Tony Bedard, Dennis Calero, J. Scott Campbell, Greg Capullo, Nick Cardy, Frank Cho, Brian Clevinger, Amanda Conner, Darwyn Cooke, Dan DiDio, Chuck Dixon, Nathan Edmondson, David Finch, Cully Hamner, Phil Hester, Greg Horn, Dan Jurgens, Barbara Kesel, Stan Lee, Laura Martin, Phil Noto, Jimmy Palmiotti, Dan Parent, George Perez, Mike Perkins, Don Rosa, Tim Sale, Bill Sienkiewicz, Mark Texeira, Billy Tucci and Tom Zahler.
Media guests include Bruce Boxleitner, Nicholas Brendon, Charisma Carpenter, Tom Felton, Peter Mayhew, Eddie McClintock, Valerie Perrine, David Prowse, Tim Russ and Brent Spiner.
MeganCon begins today at 1 p.m. ET, and continues through Sunday at 5 p.m.
(Yes, I'm enjoying the metaphors. Why do you ask?)
Full-scale warfare between convention promoters isn't universal, believe it or not — some are giving peace a chance. In addition to the recent arrangement worked out by Heroes Con and Supercon to avoid a date conflict, Emerald City ComiCon's Jim Demonakos tells Robot 6 that following an unavoidable conflict with Orlando's MegaCon the weekend of March 13, 2010, he and MegaCon's Beth Widera collaborated on choosing dates for 2011 so that future overlap could be avoided. "We ended up on the same dates for 2010 and neither of us could move, but we've talked and coordinated and our mutual 2011 dates will not be on each other's dates at all," says Demonakos. "Con planning, always an adventure."

The notion that simply acknowledging Jackson's absurd statements lends them credence is a valid one. Granted, her lunacy doesn't deserve any additional attention. However, it's important to note that Jackson is, for better or worse, a public figure with a following.
So, did Barton get his piece of 'history' from Bendigo Shafter? Only Barton can prove that he didn't. I therefore challenge David Barton to provide a source for the story he told on Beck's show.
Like many a good Christian, pseudo-historian David Barton likes guns and, of course, thinks that every person in America has an unlimited constitutional -- and biblical -- right to own and carry them.
In the wake of the current president remarking that he has occasionally gone skeet shooting at Camp David, there appears to be a Skeet Shooting Truther, or "Skeeter," movement picking up steam on the far-right.
Glenn Beck is building an amusement park called -- what else? -- Independence Park. But he's pitching it to be much more than a roadside tourist trap with a tilt-a-whirl, concessions and skeeball. Beck wants his herd of followers to believe it's a real city -- his own version of Ayn Rand's "Galt's Gulch."
Shouldn't we stop inviting the Jonses, Taitzes, and Becks of the world on national television, letting them embarrass themselves, and then scurrying back to our columns, blogs, and Facebook pages to cite them as representations of mainstream conservative thought?
Among the most recent trees to fall in the forest of Tea Party fiction is the work of alleged "historian" David Barton. Unfortunately, the Barton saga is all too typical of the Tea Party ethos -- one that many in the mainstream media have frequently given a free pass.
Contrary to what it says on the byline above, this column was written by me, Glenn Beck. The apparent "author" of the column, Mr. Elisberg, actually bought the rights from me and put his name on it. But make no mistake, I wrote the article.
On the other side, with a new Democratic candidate needed for 2016, I wouldn't be shocked if we see books from possible frontrunners Cory Booker, Kirsten Gillibrand, Andrew Cuomo, Antonio Villaraigosa, Deval Patrick and even stalwarts Hillary Clinton and possibly... Joe Biden?
There was no polling data to support the idea of a Romney landslide. None. Zero. It did not exist. Instead, this was a school of conservative pundits with a collective allergic reaction to reality, incapable of imaging Obama not losing in a humiliating electoral rout.
In our democracy, rights come with responsibilities, and these include the responsibility to help those Americans in need, regardless of whether it is logical or not.
Glenn Beck is now selling his own line of jeans. Glenn Beck. Jeans. I kid you not. If the official motto for these things isn't "Because It Takes an A** To Know Jeans" I'm crawling into my bathtub and dragging in a hair dryer.
The difference between Pulpit Freedom Sunday and Election Day Communion ultimately comes down to a difference in how we define the freedom that matters.
Note to Mitt Romney: This is what happens when you run for president on the back of Fox News and embrace the dark anti-Obama conspiracies that fuel the right-wing media.
Radical statements by Republicans aren't just gaffes; they reflect a cold-hearted, insensitive, mean-spirited, dishonest and ignorant attitude that is reflected in the way that they govern and make laws.

The ghost signs of Seattle are fewer and fewer.
you and knute would make an awesome love child.
It's amusing how the consequences of not building The Commons and the Monorail continue to create change just as Dan and I predicted.
For those interested, be sure to check out Tom Dobrowolsky's research on ghost signs:
(Hi, Tom!)
Have you seen the repainted "Olive Tower" ghost sign at Boren & Olive Way?
It's fucking rock and roll!
When the last brick building is pulled down for cheap condos, we'll all remember everything The Stranger did to stop rampant, breakneck development in Seattle.
Who cares.
(Note: No question mark.)
Of course, by "cheap" I mean cheaply built, and overpriced.
Argh!! Holy Toledo. Just the other day, I was thinking about when I lived in that Sprite building. And then! da dum cha! I spent a couple of years on the "13th Floor" in Olive Tower! Fuck, and the luminaries of the Seattle scene that I encountererd in the laundry facilities of each building, whoa... members of Fastbacks, The Briefs, Zac Pennington. Okay, neato.
but seriously, i've bucked my anti-bumbershoot stance and attended (by accident/circumstance) the pre-festivities today. I'll have a full report later, but as a teaser, it includes an interview with butterfly guitar man (as featured in a slog folklife post), a sighting of Rainbow Lady - and then a sighting of her pimped out mobile!, a strange banner above a stage saying 'esurance' - i mean i love a made up word, but that sounds like a vita-drink for geriatrics, and lastly a peek into the gallery for Flatstock (It. Is. Brilliant.- none of the posters were up, and the massive bareness was reminiscient of those bland reception desk pics that J Graves posted recently, CHECK it Out before the busyness happens and namecheck guyburwell. Again--- more details of this thrilling day to come at a most applicable post-time.
oh, and the QFC is closed! ~ghostly~ perfect place to eat carrots, drink 40s and scarp a bracelet off of late night concert leavers.
Nothing lasts.
Are you really mourning the loss of an advertisement
(No question mark because my keyboard is broken)
note: on our tour of the Bumbershit grounds, we slipped into Twice Sold Tales. The Mercer St. branch of this fine and steady seattle establishment is my favorite of the 3 i know of.
On their bulletin board is an article about the hub-bub surrounding Junie B. Jones. Since it somewhat nails down my raison d'être, I hereby call death to groot, and onto my new blog!
If only the Stranger had come out strongly against development. That could have put a stop to all this new construction over the last ten years. The Stranger is that powerful.
First the Wonder Bread sign and now a Sprite painting. How will I know what crappy non-nutritious food to buy. This city is going straight down the toilet.
I drove by when the wrecking ball had knocked down the top 1 1/2 stories, the (thick!) brick walls torn away to reveal interior spaces where people once lived. Given the chance, that building would have stood another 100 years.
I once fell in love with a worn old Capitol Hill beauty from 1916.
@14: May I suggest Paxil?
You have got to be kidding! A sprite ad on the side of a shitty brick building? Boo-Fucking-Hoo. Progress is not that bad of a thing, you backwards knuckle dragging soy drinking Seattlites. It's about time we have light rail and the only reason it hadn't been done yet is because everyone was too busy examing their navels for fuz. I mean shit, who cares above ground, below ground, just get us some fuckin decent public transport!
Oh no, but progress is bad. We can't have urban density. No no no. Let's just cut down all the forests and build fucking track houses all the way to Mt Rainier and up the slopes.
ECB, I keep sendin in updates about how they're tearing down the rainer cold storage in Gtown, yet noone at the Stranger seems remotely interested. You want ghost signs? Look no further - altho' at least they're asking their community what they'd like to see...
They're not demolishing the entire Rainier Cold property in Gtown. One building, a large buildings yes, will be coming down.
To be fair to ECB, she's sighing, not complaining.
Has no one ever missed where they used to live, even if he or she is much happier at the new place now? I didn't take ECB's emotion to be anything more than that.
As someone who lives one block from that shitty building, I'm glad to see it go. What kind of an idiot would look at that photo and think, "Wow, I wish we weren't becoming a wealthier, bigger and more dynamic city in which people are willing to throw down millions of their own dollars to improve the city's downtown." Hey, if you want to live in a city that's poor and nothing ever changes, move to Little Rock or Detroit or Omaha. Most cities in the world would celebrate the demolition of an old hellhole about to be replaced by a skyscraper. It's okay to be nostalgic, but don't forget that nostalgia for a poorer Seattle of the past is a luxury most people in this city don't have.

USS Bowfin (SS-287)
The ears of the Boat
On a fully submerged submarine of World War II, radar was rendered useless, and observations through the periscope were, by necessity and design limitations, extremely limited. The submarine had to depend chiefly on listening.
Sonar (SOund Navigation And Ranging) became the ears of the boat by using hydrophones to detect and track targets. There were two main types of sonar listening gear on a World War II submarine like USS Bowfin - sonic and supersonic.
Secrets of the Sub
|Vargas Girls
Vargas Girls
Artist Alberto Vargas became famous for his WWII watercolors depicting beautiful pin-up girls. "Varga girls" were so popular that many different artists immitated Vargas' technique and approach to the female figure: an idealized female form eliciting sensuality and seduction. During the 1940's his work was a hit amongst enlisted men who drew inspiration from them which inadvertently created high morale. The military was so influenced by this art that they adorned their vessels with it. Many military aircraft had Varga style girls decorating the nose of their planes, Varga girls were even printed on greeting cards and sent to enlisted men by their sweethearts. Inside the engine room aboard USS Bowfin, the crew posted a 1943 Vargas calendar, on which they doodled, wrote notes, and recorded their conquests of the sea.

While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
My god, it's nearly 70 today in the Midwest, a great day for a ballgame. But there won't be one for several more months. Still, the weather gets an old guy's mind on baseball…
So it's official. Ryne Sandberg won't be back in Des Moines next year to reprise his role as the skipper of the Iowa Cubs. One and done. No matter; no surprise. Baseball fans in minor league outposts have been used to the transience of ballplayers since way before free agency came to the big leagues.
This town has headquartered the following teams going back to the 1890's: Prohibitionists, Hawkeyes, Midgets, Undertakers, Underwriters, Champs, Colts, Boosters, Demons, Bruins, Oaks and Cubs.
Sandberg was just the latest in a series of luminaries to spend at least a summer here. Eddie Cicotte won 18 games for the 1906 Des Moines Champs [who were managed by the finely named Dirty Jack Doyle] before later gaining infamy at the center of the Black Sox scandal. Vida Blue fanned 16 in a game while pitching for the Iowa Oaks in 1970. That's still a record in the American Association. I can remember watching Blue stand on the mound here grinning at the hitters. He was part of the guts of the Oakland A's team that passed through here en route to a three-peat; one of the last of the great big league dynasties. Joe Rudi and Gene Tenace were Oak teammates of Blue's. Tony LaRussa once played for the Oaks before becoming their manager in 1979, the same year when he was promoted to his first big league managerial post with the White Sox in midseason.
In between Cicotte and LaRussa, the Des Moines Demons hosted the first professional ballgame ever played under permanent lights in 1930. That club included a guy named Buckshot May and one Les Cox who hit a paltry .172 in only 58 AB's – probably had a bad case of rabbit ears.
The ballpark where the town team finally settled over six decades ago was first christened Western Park, later renamed after a local sportswriter, rebuilt in the early 90's with municipal assistance and then renamed again after its naming rights were sold to a local corporation, so the history of the place pretty well parallels the trend line of professional baseball itself since the latter half of the 20th century. Sportswriters have descended from balladeers to muckrakers and stadia in some cases can be seen as public/private whorehouses.
I'm one to decry the constant peripheral amusements that seem so obnoxious nowadays at sporting events of all stripes but my brief perusal of Des Moines' background in professional baseball served as ample reminder that forerunners of the Jackass TV/movie franchise were commonplace even long before Bill Veeck and Charlie Finley arrived on the scene. As long ago as 1890 balloon ascensions and parachute jumps were used to lure people to games hereabouts.
Regarding that last one, were parachutes really around before airplanes? If so, couldn't chickens have come before eggs?
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
...a new level in media reporting of breaking news...cute...
"According to Mark Gonzalez of the Chicago Tribune, Mark Buehrle's wife wrote on her Facebook page that her husband was awarded with a Gold Glove for the American League."
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
Ha, sweet. I just sent her a friend request, btw.
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
She's not accepting. What a bitch.
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
there is a God.
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
Poor Miller - you think he'd get at least one year to show his stuff without having to cover for Morgan all those years.
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
Good riddance to the most over-rated player of his era. Wow, how tough could it have been batting between Pete Rose and George Foster/Dan Driessen. Think Joe saw many fastballs?
I'm not a flag-waving Ryno, should-have-been-named-manager, got-screwed-by-Hendry, Sandberg lover but if I had to listen to that piece of crap run him down one more time.............
Morgan played 20 seasons vs. Sandberg played 15 seasons.
Morgan's line: .271/.392/.819 vs. Sandberg at .285/.344/.796
Morgan: 268 HR vs. Sandberg at 282 HR
Morgan had 1650 R, 1133 RBI, and 2,517 H vs. Sandberg at 1,318 R, 1,061 RBI, and 2,385 H
However if you pro-rate Sandberg's averages over 20 years he would have scored 1,980 runs, 3,580 hits, 420 HR's, and 1,580 RBI's.
Defensively, 9 time Gold Glove award winner at 2B with a career .989 fielding average. Joe Morgan couldn't carry Sandberg's jock strap.
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
because Sandberg would have maintained his career averages those last 4 years rather than declined drastically like just about every other goddamn player who has ever played the game.
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
I didn't mean to imply Sandberg would have hit those numbers or wouldn't have declined dramatically playing 5 more years. Instead, here was a player Morgan demonstrated a continual hard-on for who accomplished virtually the same or better stats playing 5 less full seasons. Not to mention he followed a guy with 4,200 lifetime hits and a batting order lauded by many as the most prolific since the 1927 Yankees. I saw them both play - in their primes - and Sandberg was better.
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
I didn't mean to imply Sandberg would have hit those numbers or wouldn't have declined dramatically playing 5 more years.
well that was exactly what you were implying even if not intended.
nonetheless, Sandberg also had the benefit of there not being one 2bmen in the NL worth a damn for most of his career to help the AS and GG totals. I think Juan Samuel, Tommy Herr, Steve Sax were the de facto All-Star back-ups every year.
(of course for all I remember Morgan could have had a similar advantage in the 70's, I don't know the landscape of 2b-men in his prime).
and Morgan only played 500 more games than Sandberg, about 3 seasons worth, his first 2 years he barely played and there were a few injury-riddled season along the way.
so what I'm basically saying is your analysis was mostly drivel, but I appreciate the unwavering homerism.
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
A year and a half of that came out of the middle of Sandberg's career, not the end of it. If not for the broken hand and divorce, he probably would have hit 60 more HR's and had 150 more walks on his totals. Overall, though, it cannot be reasonably argued that Sandberg was a better offensive player.
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
I wouldn't call the age 34 and 35 seasons of a guy that started at age 22 the middle of his career and he was already showing his decline by that point.
But yeah, Sandberg was awesome, Joe Morgan was just a little better player.
horrible announcer, I'm guessing kind of dipshit in real life, but a better career on the field.
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
Morgan was a truly great baseball player. He was also an arrogant, ignorant, insecure ex-ballplayer blowhard as a color commentator. He was also, to put it kindly, factually challenged. Any time he told a story from his playing days, you could count on him to be demonstrably factually wrong about one or more of the significant details he recounted in telling the story. Three spring to mind immediately:
Claiming that he got his first major league hit in his first big league game to beat the Phillies in the game that started their losing streak that lost the pennant in 1964 (He debuted in 1963, not '64. He was hitless in his first game -- 0 for 1. In his 2nd game he did single in the bottom of the ninth to beat the Phils but he was an entire year too early for it to matter in their 1964 collapse). He also recalled listening on the radio as Koufax struck out Ernie Banks for the last out of his perfect game (Nope). Finally, he stated that the basket at Wrigley was called "Banks' Boulevard" and implied that it was because so many of Ernie's home runs landed in it instead of going over the wall (the basket wasn't installed until 1970, -- only 9 of his 290 Wrigley Field homers were hit after that).
Those stories illustrate a couple of his more distasteful qualities -- his inflated sense of his own importance and a cowardly belittling of other great players (Sandberg & Banks).
Arrogant douchebag. Don't let the door his you on the ass on your way out.
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
I hate to be put in a position to have to defend Joe Morgan, who I hate as an announcer, but the last half of Ryno's career was a completely different era than what Morgan played in. HR's were much more plentiful starting in the late 80's, for various reasons. Morgan played half of his career in the 60's/early 70's, when pitching was much more dominant, hence the low avg., and then he hung on for several years after he was rapidly declining, with more bad averages. His prime years, from 28-33, stack up extremely well against Ryno (who is my favorite player of all time). Ryno had more power, Morgan stole WAY more bases. Ryno should be compared to the Jeff Kent's and Chase Utley's, not a guy from a different era like Morgan.
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
Ryno's career overlapped 4 years with Joe Morgan's and 0 with Chase Utley. The offensive explosion didn't really start until 1994, at which point Sandberg's career was mostly over.
Besides that last statement, you're pretty much on target.
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
Morgan's best years were outstanding.
Top ten OPS+ years:
186 (1976, MVP), 169 (1975, MVP), 159 (1974), 154 (1973), 149 (1972), 136 (1982), 132 (1966), 131 (1965), 130 (1967) and 116 (tie 1971 and 1983)
Led league in walks and OBP 4 times. 689 steals and only 162 CS. Even led league in slugging once.
Morgan's career OPS+ was 132. Sandberg's was 114. The big difference between them is the walks and OBP. Sandberg had more home run power in his best years.
Sandberg's 10 best seasons by OPS+: 146 (1992), 140 (1984), 140 (1990), 138 (1991), 134 (1989), 131 (1985), 111 (1987), 108 (1988), 108 (1993, but only 503 PA) and 98 (1986
For all Morgan's rantings about Sabermetrics, from what I can tell Bill James just absolutely loved him as a player, even creating a stat called "Player Percentage Index" in the last Historical Baseball Abstract (consisting of weighted factors of fielding percentage, strikeout to walk ratio, stolen base percentage and walk frequency). This stat, apparently designed to evaluate baseball IQ, resulted in Morgan having the highest such percentage in baseball history.
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
What would fielding percentage have to do with baseball IQ?
The irony that Morgan was a fantastic "Moneyball" player has escaped no one... besides Morgan.
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
I did not do a good job of describing the factor. The fielding factor is "The player's fielding percentage, compared to period norms for his era and his position." He compares Morgan's career fielding percentage (.981) to a norm for second basemen of his time (.977).
I also did not include the last part of James's writeup, which is pretty funny:
"in April 2000, Major League Baseball aired a promotional spot in which Peter Gammons, pitching, struck out Harold Reynolds. Broadcasting on ESPN on April 19, Joe Morgan was frothing at the mouth about this commercial. 'Harold Reynolds was a major league baseball player,' Morgan said over and over . . . I may be paraphrasing a little, because my VCR wasn't running. 'Harold Reynolds was an all-star. Peter Gammons does not strike him out. It's just wrong, and I'm not going to keep quiet about it. It's wrong. Peter Gammons does not strike out Harold Reynolds.'
"Dear Joe:
Does the phrase 'get over yourself' mean anything to you? This is not to deny that you were a major league player, and even that you were a better player than Harold Reynolds, who I suppose must have been an All-Star sometime; what the hell, Dave Chalk started two All-Star games. This is not to deny that you were a brilliant player, Joe, but you are becoming a self-important little prig. Grow up, you little weenie. People make fun of one another; this is called friendship. This is life; only self-important twits take offense at that kind of thing. Jeez, man, get a life. Preferably, not on television.
Your friend,
Bill James"
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
Nice. Surprising James really went after him like that - unless both Morgan's comments and his were jokes. But since I've never heard Morgan make a joke in 20 years, it probably wasn't one.
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
Likely to be replaced by Dan Shulman and Morel Orel!
Shulman will be great!
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
Some Bruce Levine speculation:
"Washington first baseman Adam Dunn will be asking in the range of three-years, $40 million, a contract the Cubs will not be able to afford. The Cubs will look at Tampa's Carlos Pena, the Yankees Lance Berkman, Arizona's Adam Laroche, the Yankee's Nick Johnson and possible short-term free-agent solutions if a trade for Gonzalez is not feasible."
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
"if a trade for Gonzalez is not feasible"
Between that comment and all the Dunn speculation, I'm a little concerned. I really thought Ricketts was tightening the belt for the franchise, basically hit ctrl-alt-delete for a year or so, let some money come off the books, trade Fuk, probably get what they could for Ramirez, let the youngsters play....
Not that Adrian Gonzalez couldn't be somebody to build a team around (then again, with all their established youth, why wouldn't SD??) but this is starting to smell like Hendry is talking Ricketts into just one more bloated, back-loaded contract (that's going to look like shit in a year or two) on his way out the door...
hold me.
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
Phillies interview Sandberg for their AAA manager spot:
Wrongway intimates that the Cubs may consider going after Cliff Lee:
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
According to Barry Rosner, that when Hendry stated in Pat Listash news confernece that Sandberg was not interested in the Cubs AAA job that was news to Ryno.
He never told Hendry that he wouldn't go back.
Stay classy, Fat Ass.
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
he probably wasn't interested in any minor league job...most of his options have disappeared, though.
sandberg seems to be having a hard time interesting any team to hire him as a coach at this point. the ML positions are filling fast and his name hasn't been thrown around in a while.
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
the perception now seems that Hendry was just placating Sandberg these 4 years and was expecting him to either hate being a minor league manager or flat out suck at it that it wouldn't be an issue now.
He's obviously not in Hendry's inner circle (which apparently Maddux is). Speaking of, wonder what Maddux says about Sandberg to Hendry?
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
"Stay classy, Fat Ass."
That's a funny line.
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
You got this completely wrong. Rozner's article says Sandberg told Hendry he didn't want the Cubs AAA job. He's not interested in sitting down at Iowa waiting for Quade to fail.
What he was surprised to hear coming from Hendry is that he "didn't want a minor league job." Ryno never told Hendry that. He is willing to work his way up to the majors thru another Clubs minor league system, not exclusively looking for a major league position.
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
you're jumping to a lot of conclusions there, dude.
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
read the article
Quoting Rozner's (not Rosner's) article in the Herald
1. Sandberg has been talking to several teams about major-league coaching and Triple-A managing jobs, after telling the Cubs he was no longer interested in managing THEIR top minor-league affiliate.
Last week Cubs GM Jim Hendry announced what everyone else already knew, that Sandberg wasn't returning.
"...but (Sandberg said) I want to coach and teach and continue to do that, whether it's in the minors or the majors. I'm committed to that. I always have been. I never stopped."
So, Ryno told the Cubs he didn't want the AAA job, then Hendry announced it officially. But Ryno IS WILLING to coach in the minors elsewhere.
2. "Ryne felt it was in his best interests, and (Cubs) ownership's best interests, to not accept the job at Iowa," said Sandberg's agent, Jim Turner. "He did not want ownership or the fans or Mike Quade to feel that he was sitting there waiting for a disappointing result and an ax to fall in Chicago. That's not how he's built."
Sandberg said a few weeks back that, "I had more press conferences this year because of what was happening (with Lou Piniella) in Chicago than I had the year I went in the Hall of Fame."
Another year of that wouldn't benefit anyone, so a clean break was best for all.
"By not accepting the Des Moines job, Ryne's sending a clear signal to the 29 other teams," Turner said. "He's serious about reaching his goal, and that goal can be reached with any major-league team."

Bruce Levine chat transcript:
Here's a couple of blurbs:
Zack B (East Lansing)
Bruce,With the Cubs looking for a quality 1st basemen but with a limited budget it would seem that Adam Dunn and Adrian Gonzalez are long shots. With this in mind who do you believe would be the best fit at Wrigley of the remaining available players: Pena, Overbay, Johnson, LaRoche? What do you think?
Bruce Levine (1:34 PM)
Pena is probably the guy they'll look at. His .199 average is a little scary, but his power numbers are still good. The consensus in the Cubs is he'd hit .250, bring a great glove to 1B and be a solid force in the locker room. He's known as a great teammate with leadership abilities. That might be the direction they go.
Paul (Chicago)
Bruce, please list your three (3) most likely starting first basemen for the Cubs in 2011.
Bruce Levine (1:40 PM)
Colvin, Pena and Gonzalez.
Re: Weekly Levine
"Paul (Chicago)
Bruce, please list your three (3) most likely starting first basemen for the Cubs in 2011.
Bruce Levine
Colvin, Pena and Gonzalez."
Really, Colvin most likely?? Thanks Bruce. Also has Hoff possibly heading to Japan, and Marshall being more comfy in the 'pen.
In an interesting side note, he's now pushing hard for Dunn on the South side. I'm pretty sure they have a budding relationship, and Levine doesn't like flying into Dulles. Just sayin
Tweet the News
Dallas Green on Ryno to mlb.com's Todd Zolecki: "He's been let down by Chicago a good bit. He's a little bit bitter about that."
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
chicago only gave him a job and let him advance through the coaching system over people with decades more experience.
poor ryno.
i'm sure he wanted the cubs managing job, but it's not owed to him. i dunno how to gauge the player response at the end of the season with the "we definately want this dude" vs. "this dude can do this for someone" for quade, but meh...whatever...
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
Talk about jumping to conclusions. Ryno's not bitter about anything. He just realizes that he will never reach his personal goal as long as Hendry is GM, so he's looking for a job with another organization.
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
i'm not saying he's bitter...i'm saying he wasn't shafted by the cubs and he pretty much got a sweet deal with advancements while honing his new trade.
he got a good break and he backed it up with seemingly good work.
can't speak for dally green, though...
That time of year again
time to feign anger over the Gold Glove awards...well at least Jeter.
Mauer, Teix, Cano, Jeter, Longoria, Crawford, Gutierrez, Suzuki, Buehrle
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
he's no raffy palmeiro.
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
Jeter? Really?
I guess some people only look at errors committed (6) and ignore range factors, etc.
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
some people probably don't even bother to look at the stats, even the errors.
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
I think that the vast majority of these coaches and players get the term "silver slugger" with "golden glove".
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
Yeah, except that Jeter had a lousy year hitting: .270/.340/.370 with a 90 OPS+ -- lowest full season OPS+ in his career by 11 points.
Epitaph on Joe Morgan
Joe Morgan is an idiot
My feeling is Joe does not want to give credit to any players lower than him and that baseball teams are only good when great players like himself carry the team.
Re: While Waiting for the Stove to Get Hot
"Lewis merely shrugs. He told an interviewer recently: "As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Joe Morgan can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy...."
Ha! I guess now we'll never know which is was.
Off topic NIU football
He isn't the first ex big leaguer to be pissed about missing out on huge salaries, and won't be the last. Being a broadcaster doesn't help his issue with that. I've always felt he is angry about missing out. Sorry, Joe, move on.

Recent comments
Chapman shouldn't be reserved anymore on 40 man.
Interesting split on Heyward according to ESPN. As a CF, his slash line .292/.363/.375/.738. At RF: .212/.204/.300/.604. 21/72 as a CF, 58/273 as a RF.
He's also been better when batting 2nd, but he had a nice start in the 6 hole, but has slumped ever since. He was heating up before the All Star break, but is only hitting .108 in the 2nd half.
When we played the Reds with Chapman, I always thought of it as an eight-inning game. So now other teams have eight innings to try to get a lead against the Cubs. Should be a challenge, assuming three or four Cubs ever start hitting again.
I don't really try to get to know and like these players personally. I'm rooting for laundry, for the most part. Exceptions might be when a player makes trouble in the clubhouse or in the dugout. (Zambrano and Bradley come to mind. Also Papelbon.) But I don't think Chapman is one of those jerks.
Unfortunately, a pretty good summary. It looks like next year Heyward will be getting yet another batting stance adjustment.
The recent good news has been Baez. I'm afraid about the next league adjustment on him, though, which is probably right around the corner.
Bryant I don't worry about too much. Just not seeing the ball well right now. He'll turn it around. Russell's been good with men in scoring position all year and he's 22ish. He'll be fine but next year is likely to be his breakout year.
If Travis' back-to-back-to-back walks cost Hendricks the ERA title, that would really suck.
Edit: "A lifeless loss to a lousy Sox team."
This place is a real downer after a loss to the Sox.
I expect they will go 5-9 games above .500 the rest of the year. 96-98 wins will win the Division.
They should have one more 2-3 week hot streak in them.
However, several players are just "average" for the last month: Zobrist, Ross, Russell, Ceasar. Montero is terrible, plus he cannot throw anyone out. -WAR. Heyward is abysmal at the plate, but a plus in the OF. Still with RISP he has been terrible. KB has not been driving in runs as of late. But Apparently the team is still above average with RISP according to S Sahadev.
I came to that realization tonight. I kept expecting them to play better, but now I realize they aren't going to. They are a .500 team now.
- They have one reliable starting pitcher. Jake's magic is gone, and it doesn't look like it's coming back. Lester has been lousy recently. Lackey's ERA goes up every time he pitches.
- Heyward has been dead weight all year. I can't remember a single series where he was a significant offensive contributor. Not one. Great defense, but but if he were hitting .270 with 10 HR and played average defense, the Cubs would be better off.
new rule...no one's allowed to throw k.bryant a changeup
Team is .500 since early May and is playing like a .500 team. Lack of offense seems to be putting a lot of pressure on the pitchers...and they aren't handling it terribly well.
.500 the rest of the way still may win the division though.
...i hate espn.
nothing like settling into a cubs game to get a few minutes cutaway for an ortiz AB in the 6th inning of the det/bos game.
oh, at least they're doing split screen now...i guess.
I'm liking this rookie Nathan.
Richard DFA'd. Meh...
Throwbacks with fashionable cutouts would be a nice touch.
The next 2 games are nationally televised. I think we dominate tonight, hitting 3 HRs off Shields. Great night for KB to end HR drought facing HR prone pitcher in one of the most hitter friendly parks in the league.

Childress medical center begins nursing school program
CHILDRESS - Classes will begin in late summer at a new licensed vocational nursing school at Childress Regional Medical Center, CRMC Administrator Frances Smith said on Tuesday.
The hospital's board of directors had commissioned a study that showed a need for 30 LVNs in the Childress area.
"We would prefer to be solely involved with the health-care needs of this community, but we have been forced into the educational field," Smith said.
The hospital is licensed for 10 to 12 students; the first class will have 10, Smith said.
Forty people have already applied, she said.
Classes will be taught by CRMC nurses Kathy Lindley and Gayla Buckner.
Students will travel to Altus, Okla., and Vernon for clinicals.

I have a 5 public IP address range. (ie: 18.104.22.168 to 126.96.36.199)
I would like to assign the first to port 1 transparently in a way that a VPN router (RV082) could connect via it and respond transparently.
I want to assign the rest with NAT to every subsequent port. (ie: port 2. 126.96.36.199)
How could I achieve this?
Network topology:
WAN Ethernet cable plugged to WAN1 on a Fortigate 100D configured as router with NAT for the first IP xx.xx.xx.1
The WAN public ip range consists of 5 IP addresses (xx.xx.xx.1 o 5)
I have a RV082 that was plugged as router of the network using the IP xx.xx.xx.1 but after receiving the 100D Fortigate I've plugged it to be the main controlling device of the network to assign the 5 different WAN ip addresses to different ports transparently in a way that for example the RV082 can connect as it behaved before meanwhile the other ports on the 100D can be used with different IPs

So I've been looking for an answer to this for a while now, and as much as I try I can't find one. Long story short is that every time I try to update the theme options to the completely up-to-date Simple Catch theme I am using they end up backfiring on me and reverting all of the options back to the defaults. Even the feature slider, which does work, deactivates whenever I hit the save button on any of the theme option panes. For example, I am unable to change the logo unless I actually FTP into my website and make sure the default file path leads to the logo I want to use. So while that problem I'm actually able to fix, I can't figure out how to deal with the social links which I also want to use on my site. Everything I am using is up to date. I have taken the basic steps like re-installing the theme and deleting all non-essential plugins. Now I simply don't know what to do next and I don't want to have to resort to FTP every time I want to make a quick fix.
My site: healritept.com
If anyone can figure out the problem, please let me know. This site is for my Cousin's small Physical Therapy Clinic which we are trying to market within our community, and I want the website to be one less thing for him to worry about.

Capitol Hill Critics Second-Guess Agencies Using...
Boehringer Ingelheim (BI) negotiated a nonexclusive license to ProBioGen's GlymaxX® technology for the production of afucosylated proteins. The GlymaxX platform has been developed to enable the production of antibodies with minimal fucose content, which ProBioGen claims enhances binding to NK cells and thus increases antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). The platform can in addition be applied to new and pre-existing producer cell clones and can be engineered in less than 10 weeks.
"With the combination of the BI-HEX® platform and ProBioGen's GlymaxX technology we can offer our customers tailored solutions for high titer expression of highly potent antibodies," adds Simon Sturge, corporate svp for biopharmaceuticals at BI.
ProBioGen offers a range of contract development and manufacturing services and access to its cell lines for the manufacture of therapeutic proteins and vaccines. Tailored services span cell-line and process development to complete manufacturing programs, accompanied by a range of physico-chemical analyses and activity assays.
BI-HEX is BI's fast-track high-expression system for the production of biopharmaceuticals from CHO cells. The firm says starting with product gene cloning into the BI HEX vectors, material for toxicological studies from monoclonal cell lines can be generated in just 15 months. The BI-HEX processes can also be used directly to produce Phase I trial material, the firm states. A range of development packages is available, including cell line only, cell line with parallel process development for toxicology- or cGMP-grade clinical material, and cell line followed by process development.

PPA Data Buoy Launched
In collaboration with Prof. Holly Ewing of Bates College (on left in photo, with Phil Boissonneault, in Pete Leitner's boat) PPA has launched a data buoy at the "deep hole" of Panther Pond. This buoy will continuously record water temperature, and (later) dissolved oxygen, to further the studies of gloeotrichia and overall lake health. Boaters and water skiers are asked to avoid the buoy. Please alert your neighbors. For further information, please contact PPA or Prof. Ewing. You can learn more about this effort at the PPA annual meeting on July 9.

Milwaukee Rep's soaring 'Ragtime' makes sweet music
Less than 10 minutes into the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's spectacular production of "Ragtime" — the crown jewel thus far in director Mark Clements' Rep tenure — it's already apparent that the next three hours of theater will be special.
Those opening moments — in which this musical's huge cast of characters make their introductions, and during which we get a rough sketch of the melting-pot story to come — can be turgid, confusing or both. »Read Full Article(4)
