I disagree. I think the only thing that is being suggested is a simpler syntax. The fact that you can describe a programming language with a grammar and a document like this with a grammar shouldn't imply that we consider the sitemap a programming language.

Anti-Sa antibodies: prognostic and pathogenetic significance to rheumatoid arthritis
- Hani S El-Gabalawy1Email author and

DOI: 10.1186/ar1171
© BioMed Central Ltd 2004

Published: 10 March 2004
Anti-Sa antibodies are detected in the serum of 20–47% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. These antibodies have a high degree of specificity for the disease, and appear to identify a subset of early rheumatoid arthritis patients destined to have aggressive and destructive disease. It has recently been confirmed that anti-Sa antibodies are directed to citrullinated vimentin, thus placing them in the anti-citrulline family of autoantibodies. The Sa antigen has previously been shown to be present in synovium. This, along with the demonstration of citrullinated proteins in rheumatoid synovium, suggests that anti-Sa antibodies may play a pathogenetic role in the initiation and/or persistence of rheumatoid synovitis.
Keywordsanti-citrulline antibodies anti-Sa autoantibodies prognosis rheumatoid arthritis synovium
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by the development of a persistent, destructive synovitis that targets multiple joints. The joint involvement is often additive over time, and there is an intriguing propensity for symmetry in the way that the joints are affected. The other characteristic feature of this disease is the presence of specific autoantibodies in the sera of most RA patients. Although this has been the strongest line of evidence suggesting that RA is an autoimmune disease, it has proved to be a major challenge to understand how the synovitis and the autoantibody production are related pathogenetically, and whether one is dependent on the other. The study published in the current issue of Arthritis Research and Therapy identifying the antigen against which the RA associated anti-Sa antibodies are directed brings us closer to this understanding [1].
Epidemiology of anti-Sa antibodies
Anti-Sa antibodies were originally identified in a French Canadian patient with RA, and this reactivity was found to be highly specific for RA [2]. Subsequent studies have confirmed the high degree of RA specificity, which exceeds 95% in several populations tested [3–6]. The sensitivity of this antibody for RA varies with the stage of the disease tested, ranging from a low of 20–25% in early RA cohorts [5, 6] to a high of 47% in patients with more established disease [6].

Serum reactivity to Sa overlaps considerably but incompletely with anti-cyclical citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP), anti-filaggrin antibodies (AFA), and anti-keratin antibodies (AKA). Data from one early synovitis cohort demonstrated that 23% of the anti-Sa-positive patients were not positive for these other autoantibodies [5]. Similarly, 27% of AFA-positive patients were not recognized by any other assay. It should be noted that the currently available anti-CCP enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay is more sensitive than the original assay used in this study, and it is possible that some of these anti-Sa-positive and AFA-positive patients would be detected by the more sensitive assay. Nevertheless, these data are consistent with the heterogeneity demonstrated in RA sera when tested against a spectrum of citrullinated peptides [8].
Anti-Sa antibodies are directed toward citrullinated vimentin
A body of research has clearly established that the sera of most RA patients have antibodies directed against antigens containing the non-standard amino acid citrulline (reviewed in [9]). Citrulline is generated by the post-translational deimination of arginine residues by peptidyl arginine deiminases (PADs), a family of enzymes whose members have a tissue-specific distribution. Several previously described RA-specific autoantibodies including AKA, AFA, and anti-perinuclear factor have been shown to recognize citrullinated antigens [8]. This has led to the hypothesis that immune responses to endogenous citrullinated antigens are unique to RA and are potentially of pathogenetic significance in this disease.
Although it has been speculated the anti-Sa antibodies might be directed towards a citrullinated antigen, this has not been directly confirmed until now [1]. The results of the Vossenaar paper identify citrullinated forms of vimentin as the major antigen recognized by sera containing anti-Sa reactivity. However, it is apparent from the immunoblotting studies presented that the patterns of reactivity of anti-citrulline and anti-Sa are overlapping but not identical, suggesting that additional reactivity might be present in the anti-Sa-positive sera. Vimentin was identified on the basis of microsequences of two peptides, one which was specific to vimentin (residues 72–86) and the other (residues 283–293) was present in both vimentin and a related neural intermediate filament component, peripherin [10]. Because of the polyclonal nature of the autoimmune sera, and the relative differences in the detection sensitivities of the Western blot and microsequencing, it will be important to demonstrate clearly that vimentin is indeed the only antigen detected in this molecular mass region by sera containing anti-Sa reactivity. It is also important to consider that in cases where post-translational modifications are a component of the autoantigen, the most readily detectable target might not necessarily reflect the biologically relevant antigen, but rather the most abundant species with the given post-translational modification. Thus, although a citrullinated form of vimentin is clearly a major autoantigen recognized by anti-Sa-positive sera, other autoantigens might also be recognized.
Citrullinated autoantigens in RA synovitis
If antibodies against citrullinated antigens do have a role in the pathogenesis of RA synovitis, these antibodies and the antigens they recognize should be present in the synovium. In keeping with this, it has been shown that anti-citrulline antibodies are indeed produced locally in RA synovium by B lymphocytes and plasma cells [11, 12], and that these antibodies represent a much larger proportion of the total IgG content of the synovium than of matched peripheral blood [12]. Moreover, rheumatoid factor (RF) synovial tissue explants continue to produce AFA for prolonged periods in culture.
The presence of locally produced anti-citrulline antibodies suggests that one or more synovial antigens stimulate their production. Detailed studies of the synovium of AFA-positive RA patients demonstrated that these antibodies uniquely recognize citrullinated forms of fibrin and fibrinogen in RA synovium [13]. From a pathogenetic viewpoint, this autoantigen would seem more likely to be relevant to RA than filaggrin, which is found in the epidermis and not the synovium. Interestingly, both share the property of being composed of repeating units capable of varying degrees of citrullination. It is of relevance that we have demonstrated, in a histopathologic study of synovium derived from patients with early synovitis, a strong association between the presence of stromal fibrin deposits and the presence of anti-citrulline antibodies in patient sera [14].
Citrullinated vimentin is an appealing possibility as a synovial autoantigen in RA. The Sa antigen, which is derived from placental tissue and is used to detect anti-Sa antibodies by immunoblotting, was originally shown to be present in synovium [2]. Vimentin is an intermediate filament that is widely expressed in mesenchymal cells and macrophages, and is readily detectable in synovium and fibroblast-like synoviocytes [15–17]. The current data suggest that for synovial vimentin to serve as an autoantigen for anti-Sa antibodies, this protein needs to be citrullinated in the synovial microenvironment. In vivo, vimentin is usually not in a citrullinated state, and deimination of this protein by PAD is required for the generation of a suitable antigen that would be recognized by anti-Sa antibodies [18]. Although PAD2 and PAD4 are widely expressed in synovium, they seem to require high intracellular calcium concentrations to deiminate cytoplasmic proteins such as vimentin, and the typically low cytoplasmic concentrations of calcium would not allow this to occur [18, 19]. Deimination of vimentin by PAD probably occurs in macrophages when they undergo apoptosis, a process that results in an influx of calcium into the cell [18]. On the basis of this, it is proposed that citrullinated vimentin is most probably generated in the RA synovial microenvironment when macrophages and other cells undergo apoptosis. Yet the generally low apoptotic indices found in RA synovitis would suggest that this process occurs at a relatively low rate (reviewed in [20]). In contrast, inadequate clearance of apoptotic material might lead to persistence of the modified vimentin and might in turn promote the development of anti-Sa antibodies. Because it seems, on the basis of the epidemiologic data, that the anti-Sa-positive patients with RA have particularly severe, destructive disease, synovial expression of the Sa antigen needs to be studied systematically in detailed immunohistologic studies.
Do autoantibodies against citrullinated antigens initiate and/or perpetuate RA?
The serum transfer model of Benoist and Mathis has shown that antibodies against the ubiquitous enzyme glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (G6PI) can induce a destructive, RA-like arthropathy in mice from a wide spectrum of genetic backgrounds [21]. The mechanisms by which the synovitis and articular damage occur are still under exploration, but an important role for components of the innate immune system, such as mast cells, has been demonstrated [22]. The relevance of anti-G6PI antibodies in human RA has been debated. Although one study suggested that anti-G6PI antibodies are uniquely present in RA patients [23], these findings have not been confirmed in several other patient cohorts [24]. Notwithstanding this debate, the serum transfer model does indicate that an antibody directed against a ubiquitous antigen can directly precipitate a destructive inflammatory process that specifically targets the joints.
It has been demonstrated that both RF and anti-CCP antibodies are present in the sera of at least some RA patients years before the onset of clinical disease [25]. Data about anti-Sa reactivity in such patients is currently unavailable. The titers of anti-CCP antibodies in these 'preclinical' individuals seem to increase progressively until disease onset. Presumably these responses are sustained by low-level antigenic stimulation until such a point at which a clinical threshold is crossed, and overt synovitis is precipitated. Exposure to new citrullinated synovial antigens expressed during inflammatory 'flares', when apoptotic indices are probably at their highest, would then further stimulate and mature these responses and, importantly, localize them to lymphoid structures in the synovial membrane on a chronic basis.
The spectrum of autoantigens that participate in, and sustain, RA synovitis continues to be explored. Proteomic approaches can be expected to have a significant role in the characterization of these autoantigens. With the use of combined Western blot and in-gel digestion approaches, candidate antigens have been identified in Behcet's disease [26] and anterior uveitis [27]. By using affinity-purified autoantibodies against post-translationally modified proteins, it should be feasible to capture a spectrum of antigens expressing a given modification. This should provide a better understanding of the repertoire of potential target antigens and their possible roles in the pathogenic process.

Arc Welding 101: Welder requalification testing - When and why?
Q: If a welder is no longer welding but he wants to maintain his qualifications period of effectiveness, we require four hours of production welding time to maintain that qualification. Four hours doesn't seem quite long enough to stay in the groove. What say you?
Jeff P.
A: As a good friend, Jeff knows me as a literalist when it comes to code-speak. His question made me do a little digging, which I enjoy and from which I always learn.
As with any skill, the ability to perform welding varies from person to person. Most welders can pick up a stinger after a 25-week layoff and pick up right where they left off. Others need time to get back in the groove, as Jeff said.
I reviewed several AWS, ASME, and API documents and found one commonality: All three agencies require requalification testing when there is reason to question the welder's ability. Beyond that, they differ.
API 1104 makes no mention of a six-month time frame. ASME Section IX and AWS D1.1, D1.3, D1.5, and D14.3 all have similar statements, such as "The welder's qualification shall remain in effect indefinitely unless the welder has not engaged in the process for a period exceeding six months." None of the codes or standards I reviewed mention a minimum number of hands-on hours to maintain qualification, nor are any suggestions made.
Imagine a production welding environment such as Crenlo's in which a welder with two years' experience decides to mix it up a little and take a job in the paint department. Can he still be considered a welder after six months? Possibly. How about after the next six months? Then the next? Four years later this welder has accumulated only 32 hours of welding experience, four hours at a time. With so little time under the hood, I might begin to question his ability.
As welding decision-makers, we need to pass judgment based on code requirements and code intent. The most basic course of action is to ask yourself if there is reason to question the welder's ability. If no reasons exist, allow him to practice his craft. Otherwise, retest and evaluate his ability to make sound welds.

Ohio Warbird Survivors 2003: A Handbook on where to find them
North America is replete in aviation history, both military and civilian. The sheer size of the United States dictated an early interest in air defense and profoundly influenced the nation's dependence on air travel. It is no wonder that the United States developed as an air-faring nation. A large part of the leadership that contributed to that development can be traced to America's Air Force. Indeed, its proud military heritage is embodied in the dedicated individuals who have served and continue to do so-and in the marvelous aircraft they have flown.The preservation and public display of these aircraft is a labor of love for many, including the editor of this book. If you are an enthusiast of military aviation history, or one with a passing interest who simply wishes to learn more, you will find a wealth of information in these well-researched pages.

Several cities have recently announced they've put an effective end to veteran homelessness in keeping with federal goals set by the Obama administration.
San Diego didn't meet the challenge.
"Right now we're leaving too much money on the table and too many veterans on the street to continue in the way that we have been," said City Councilman Todd Gloria, who leads the regional group that coordinates efforts and funding for programs meant to fight homelessness.
Over the past four years, San Diego saw just a 16 percent decline in veteran homelessness according to regional data reported annually to the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Pros: Very small footprint, shallow depth. Extruded aluminum front panel and mounting flanges are very attractive and strong. Nice painted finish. Easy to work on 2U chassis. Cool blue power LED. Dual USB front ports. Good case airflow. Got the case for a great deal when it first showed up on newegg.
Cons: As others have noted the bottom tray will not fit 3.5 drives if you are using a mATX board. Loud and cheap Fans, I replaced mine with LED type that are much quieter.
Other Thoughts: Using in a small HTPC build. Using an Nvidia ION ITX motherboard. If using an ITX board case allows for maximum amount of 5 - 3.5" drives (using optical drive also).
If there is a huge concern about drive space, use 2.5" drives since you can fit 8 - 2.5" drives with a mATX board.

Project Description
I have 2 forms that I need process at the same time seamlessly. The first is a mailchimp form we're hosting our on site. The form is processed and then mailchimp takes them to the confirmation page. However, I want the data to also be submitted to another database, so I need one single form, and the data going to two places. I don't need any design work, just the raw code and script working perfectly. I will have my developers migrate it to live on our site.
Lastly, it is important to note that the fields are both, first name and email, however they are called something different in each database. One of them is something like "Fname" and the other is something like First_Name so, be sure that you can do this.
Will award best qualified, and fairly priced individual on Monday AM. We are a marketing agency in the USA, so bid accordingly. Should take someone who knows PHP only an hour or 2. Lots of tutorials on this. In your text bid, confirm you can do this. "can be done" type of bids will be deleted.

Today we took a tour of Lincoln's house. Most of the furniture was original. I do not have a picture of the house on the I-pad so I can show it. It is a two story home now but when Lincoln bought it was 1 story. In the 17 years they owned a second story was added and a room in the back. From there we went to Lincoln's tomb.

5chw4r7z, Mary, Steve, Pablo, Terry and I trekked to Blue Ash for dinner on Friday night as prelude to seeing Ms.5chw4r7z's show at Tri County Players. After much email haggling, we decided on Apsara, which is in Watson Brothers Brewery's old location.
Terry and I were the first ones there, so we grabbed a drink at the bar– I had a pineapple vodka on the rocks, and he had a Blue Moon. They have an extensive bar area– pretty sure a reworked version of the original– and a very extensive draught beer selection, particularly for an Asian restaurant. They had Kirin on tap, as well as a bunch of microbrews and some popular imports.
We all grabbed appetizers– Steve and Mary had frog legs (which, I'm told, did indeed taste like chicken), Pablo had some gyoza, and Terry and I picked some tempura and gyoza. The tempura was perfect– light, crunchy, not a bit greasy, and the dipping sauce (which I'm pretty sure was ponzu) was a light, salty compliment. Plus, there were slices of sweet potatoes, my favorite! The gyoza were a touch watery, but had a nice flavor. They were not exceptional.
Terry saw their monstrous sushi bar (see 5chw4r7z's pics!) and decided that he wanted sushi. Smart guy. He chose a Playboy Roll, which was the biggest sushi roll I've ever seen. I figured, as it was a Playboy Roll, that it would be somehow silicone enhanced, would serve me drinks, and perhaps have a fluffy bunny tail (which I know from the Kirstie Alley TV Movie version of Gloria Steinem's A Bunny's Tale that you were NOT supposed to touch! The bunny tail is sacred! Anyway, you now know what I watched on cable as a kid, and I think it explains quite a bit), however, it did not. It DID, however, have spicy tuna, shrimp tempura, mango and asparagus topped with cooked shrimp, sriracha, mayonnaise and furikake finished with eel sauce and, according to the menu, "all wrapped in foil and barbecued at table". It was wrapped in foil. It was not barbecued at the table. This is okay– it was pretty darn fantastic. I have no idea where they got the name, except perhaps that it was probably the most excessive sushi roll I've ever eaten– it had a blend of flavors, was a little messy and was falling all over itself. In retrospect, I suppose it IS a bit like the stuff I've seen going on at the Playboy Mansion. Creative!
Because I am a lemming and Liberal Foodie told me to, I ordered the duck. Mmm. Duckiness. It was indeed crispy, and the sauce was great– it was sweet, then salty, then packed a really spicy kick. The vegetables were all delicious and crisp-tender. The duck itself was a little dry– a hard thing to do with duck– but not bad. I preferred the vegetables and the jasmine coconut rice with the sauce. Yum.
Quick question: Was the sushi roll cooked? You mentioned BBQ at table and foil so I wasn't sure….I love making a meal of appetizers, that way I can try a bunch of different things! Thanks for the great review.
It wasn't cooked, but it was ever so slightly warmer than just the warmth of fresh sushi rice. I wonder if it was supposed to be warmer?
You know, I don't know if I read it on Apsara's website or somewhere else, but if you sit at the sushi bar, the playboy is served flaming.
The truth maybe closer to the fact I put in 7 1/2 hours of work today and now I'm feeble minded.
One thing I do remember is I had a super good time. Hope I didn't scare you guys off.
Julie, happy to read that you tried the duck! We also had jasmine coconut flavored rice. perfect combo. When we were there, the table next to us ordered a sushi boat for 4. After hearing them rave about it during dinner and reading your review I want to go back to try the sushi.
The atmosphere does indeed look amazing. One for summer dining for sure. I'm just wondering where they get their duck. Did the menu or wait staff reveal that? It seems very hard to come by around here.

In just a few weeks, North Dakota residents will go to the ballot to vote on a total ban on high fence hunting operations. Ballot measure 2 [2] makes the "killing or attempted killing of privately-owned big game species or exotic mammals confined in or released from any man-made enclosure designed to prevent escape" illegal.
The Wall Street Journal is running a solid article on the subject, it can be viewed here [3].
From the article:
On Nov. 2, North Dakota voters will decide on a ballot initiative that would do away with these ranches. What's surprising is that the battle over Ballot Measure 2 doesn't pit hunters against their natural adversaries, animal-rights activists, who have long opposed the ultimate blood sport. Rather, the debate is dividing hunters themselves.
If North Dakota passes Ballot Measure 2, it will join states like Wyoming and Montana that have heavy restrictions and bans on private game management.

Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
This versatile condiment is one of the best go-to secret ingredients you can have on hand. It will make salads sing, give pasta that je ne sais quoi and flood your taste buds in a salty lemonade. A must make!
Five ideas for preserving Meyer lemons and a recipe for Meyer Lemon Finishing Salt
Preserved lemons are the darlings of citrus season. They're the perfect counterpoint to a dreary winter's day, adding bright flavors to slow cooked dishes like beans & grains, braised meats, salads & sweets. And they're fabulous in a martini.
Preserved Lemons, the secret ingredient to many Middle Eastern dishes, are easily made at home in a brine of salt and lemon juice. Add in the optional spices for an extra kick.
A new-to-me spin on preserved lemons with a new favorite, Aleppo Pepper.
Homemade preserved lemons are easy to make, far better than any you can buy in a store, and go well with anything from soups and stews to salads and seafood.
This one intrigued me when I first learning about, it is something that I've never seen in Ontario; However it seemed easy, safe, cheap, and more importantly a great way to use up excess lemons.
When it comes to herbs I'm no stranger to using salt as a method of preservation, but fruit is something entirely new for me! Not sure why it took me so long to try it out, but I'm so glad I finally did!
A perfect end-of-winter ritual to make the most of our Eureka and Meyer lemons.
This will transform lemons into wonderful ingredients for all kinds of foods, especially in northwestern African cuisine.

The Texas Rangers are at the highest point in their 39-year history, making their first trip to the American League Championship Series as the last current franchise to win a postseason series. To appreciate where they are, we must understand from where they have come, the depth from which they have emerged, as told by a guy who was there every night from 1982-85.
I should have known what I was getting into that first spring training as the new Rangers beat writer in 1982. Two weeks after having met me, Rangers center fielder Mickey Rivers asked if he could borrow $2,000, not knowing, of course, that The Dallas Morning News was paying me approximately $14,000 a year, and Mickey was making closer to $300,000. That began an interesting relationship with The Mick, easily the most amusing player I've been around in 30 years of covering baseball.
It was Mickey who said one freezing day in Milwaukee, "The wind was blowing 63 degrees today. I felt like the Lost Mohican out there." (The Lost Mohican?) It was Mickey who would walk through the clubhouse, shirt off, flexing his muscles like Arnold Schwarzenegger, screaming, "I am Cohan the Barbarian,'' instead of "Conan the Barbarian.''
That first spring I pulled out the map in my rental car in an attempt to find the Rangers' spring training facility in Pompano Beach, Fla., and there it was in the lower right-hand corner: "Municipal Stadium, home of the Washington Senators,'' who had moved to Texas 10 years earlier. The spring training home of the Rangers wasn't a complex, it was one full field -- it looked more like my high school field -- and one half-field, on which one day, Rangers reliever Dan Boitano announced during a drill, "I'm going to wheel, throw, and hit that seagull.'' And to the astonishment of everyone, including Boitano, he went to make a pickoff throw to second base, instead threw the ball straight up in the air, hit a seagull in the head, and it came crashing to the earth, dead on the infield dirt. It was horrible.
"But that's what you get,'' pitcher Charlie Hough said, "for not wearing a helmet.''
Municipal Stadium was literally a park, a place where people walked their dogs, and Rangers players ran through the park as part of their conditioning program, which included a one-mile run that had to be completed in a certain time. Some of the players, pitcher Ron Darling later admitted, found a short cut. They would sit on a park bench for a couple of minutes so not to run a suspiciously fast 2:40 mile, then race across the finish line having run maybe one-third of a mile. Late that spring, Darling and Walt Terrell, the Rangers' two top pitching prospects, were traded for Lee Mazzilli, who was supposed to be the last piece of the puzzle, the guy who was going to take the Rangers to the AL West title. The night of the deal, we wondered if farm director Joe Klein had signed off on the trade, and I was told he "jumped off the roof of the Holiday Inn after hearing the news.''
Mazzilli wasn't the last piece; in fact, soon after arriving in town as the everyday left fielder, not the center fielder he had been with the Mets, he said that "left field is an idiot's position,'' a statement that did not endear him to Rangers management, or to Carl Yastrzemski. By early May, the Rangers had lost 13 games in a row, and were hopelessly lost in the AL West race. I dragged myself into manager Don Zimmer's office on a Tuesday.
"What's wrong with you?'' he asked.
"Covering this team isn't as much fun as I thought it would be,'' I said.
Zimmer looked at me with that stare, and said, "What are you complaining about? Look at you, you're young, you've got your whole life in front of you. Look at me, I'm old, I'm fat, I'm bald, I'm ugly, I have a plate in my head. And, I've got to manage this team.''
His problems were indeed greater than mine. They got worse when upper management decided that the Rangers needed to establish short-term goals for the players in hopes of improving their performance. So Zimmer, who had worn a professional baseball uniform for 35 years by that time, had to call every player in, one by one, and ask him, "So, how many hits do you think you're going to get in your next 20 at-bats?'' One player said, "I think I'll get 14.'' The player was hitting .186 at the time. Zimmer had no idea what to say.
The losing continued. General manager Eddie Robinson was fired in May; the news conference was held in the dugout. Zimmer was told on a Monday in August that he was fired, but the Rangers had no replacement in place, so he was asked if he could manage the next three games, then he would be officially fired. Amazingly, Zimmer agreed. After Wednesday night's loss, Zimmer took his coaches, and even the writers, out to Mr. Catfish for a final send-off party. At 1 a.m., an epically drunk man entered the private room, screaming and hollering. He grabbed a goblet of beer and hurled it 20 feet across the table at one of the writers, Jim Reeves, who was sitting next to me. To avoid potential death, we dived under the table, at which point I asked Revo, "Who is that guy?''
"That's Brad Corbett,'' Reeves said. "He used to own the team.''
The Rangers lost 98 games that year -- it seemed like more -- but I figured if I could get through that year, I could get through any year, and I could cover any team. In 1983, the Rangers hired Doug Rader to manage the club. I'm not sure I've ever met anyone in baseball as brilliant and funny and intense as Doug Rader, whom I asked point blank that first spring of 1983, "Has anyone ever told you that you looked like Foghorn Leghorn?'' To which, he pulled his pants halfway down, and on his jock was written the word: Foghorn.
I'd say you had to be a magician to win with that team, but Rader had the Rangers in first place at the All-Star break in 1983. It all fell apart in the second half, and they finished 77-85, starting a spate of losing that lasted another 2½ years, but Rader made it palatable because he was so interesting and unpredictable. One spring, the Rangers were having trouble scoring runs, so on the way to the ballpark, Rader picked up a drunk named Nick on the street. Rader dressed him in a Rangers uniform and brought him out of the dugout to talk to the team about hitting, introducing him as "one of the finest hitting instructors'' in baseball.
"This poor guy was so hung over, he hadn't shaved in weeks, he smelled horribly, he had peed in his pants, he had thrown up on himself,'' said Rich Donnelly, then a Rangers coach. "He came out with a fungo bat and said, 'OK, you grab this thing, and you swing it like this.' It was absolutely ridiculous. But Mickey [Rivers] said, 'That's right. We need to listen to this guy. He knows what he's talking about.' Everyone cracked up. We cleaned him up, gave him something to eat, dropped him back downtown in a Rangers uniform.''
The Rangers didn't start hitting that spring, and went 69-92 in 1984. In the final game of that season, the Angels' Mike Witt threw a perfect game against them. The story was played the next day at the bottom of the sports section in one of the papers, the same amount of type on the front page as a story about an offensive guard at Texas A&M. When an editor was asked why so little was made of the 11th perfect game in history, the editor said, "Well, it was against the Rangers.'' The game lasted one hour and 49 minutes. The last out was made by pinch hitter Marv Foley, the last at-bat he ever took in a major league game. Outfielder George Wright went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts, ending a terrible season for him, and left by saying, "I'm going to change my name and move to Africa.''
In spring training 1985, the Rangers introduced pitcher Mitch Williams, who had been acquired in the Rule V draft from the Padres. Williams threw so hard and was so unbelievably wild that no one wanted to hit against him. As he warmed up for his first live batting practice that spring, he threw one pitch that missed the cage entirely. The ball hit a tire on the side of the batting cage. At that point, veterans Buddy Bell and Larry Parrish announced that they would not be hitting against Williams, who would say later that day, "That's OK. I didn't want to kill any of my teammates on my first day of spring training.''
Rader didn't make it very far into the 1985 season before being fired and was replaced by Bobby Valentine. One of his first moves was to hire Tom House as his pitching coach. No one, but no one, knows more about throwing a baseball than Tom House, but he was a bit eccentric. He would have his pitchers throw a football in between starts to strengthen their arms. Hough, always hilarious, was asked if the footballs were helping.
"I don't know,'' he said, "but we lead the league in third-down conversions.''
The Rangers went 62-99 that year, making my four-year record 272-374 as the Rangers' beat writer. In 1986, I went to the Baltimore Sun to cover the Orioles, and immediately took them to relentless losing, while the Rangers started winning games in 1986. Pete O'Brien, the Rangers' first baseman, noticed that the Rangers had gotten better when I left, and the Orioles began losing when I arrived. "You're the reason,'' he said. "Wherever you go, teams lose.''
Finally, the Rangers are winning. To truly appreciate that, you had to be there for the losing.

A headteacher at a top private school has suggested bringing in a porn star to help teach pupils about sex and relationships.
Mark Slater, head of The Leys in Cambridge, is considering asking speakers to discuss the controversial industry on the £28,000-a-year school's leafy campus.
And he said he had not ruled out inviting a porn star to join the debate.
He told the Cambridge News: "I wouldn't rule it out, simply because of what they have done in their life, if I felt that person was going to put across good values and be a good influence.
But he added: "It may well be that if somebody is spending their life doing that they may not have the sort of perspective on life that we would want."
Mr Slater is retiring at the end of the year, and said children's ability to form fulfilling relationships could be damaged by easy access to pornography, particularly on the internet.
"I don't think you can escape it given that it's almost impossible to legislate against what goes on the internet," he said.
The headmaster said his school viewed the provision of pastoral care as its most important duty and stressed the need to prepare students for relationships in later life.

Dear Lyn and Alan, thanks for letting us stay at such an awesome place. Thoroughly relaxing time here with trips to the beach and spa.
Another lovely stay. We leave feeling recharged and rested. Thank you so much. Arohanui. We will be back this year.
Have been in Auckland for 13 years. We didn't realise we are so close to Paradise: song of the wood pigeons; breeze from dense bushes; fish scales like black shiny sand; foggy heartshaking sea; starry sky watching from the spa; cosy bed and homemade breakfast. We are feeling that we are part of the nature and part of the history. Peter promised giving me a special 20th anniversary. Lyn and Alan, your beautiful flowers and lovely card and stories, this experience made an indelible impression on me. Thank you for sharing your world with us. We hope one day we will come back with Gloria sharing the story of Arahoe.
I have read all the comments written before this. There is nothing more that I can say-the words say it all. It has been both a pleasure and a privilege to have spent a few days in such a place- hosted by two wonderful people. Thank you very much- we will meet again. Barbara. The bush walk is great well worth the walk back up. Native bird life around, fantastic. Max.
Our week long vacation in New Zealand included 2 days with Alan and Lyn at their marvelous property here in the waitakere Ranges. We can't say enough about the hospitality and genuine warmth of our new friends. The advice and recommendations which they have provided here have us looking forward to the second half of our journey quite eagerly. The vacation Cottage is truly a work of passion that has been carefully constructed to 8 any weary Traveler: comfortable bedding; a well equipped kitchen and a marvelous aspect from the living room made us feel well rested and relaxed. We hope to see both of you in the future and anticipate returning here for future vacation experiences to NZ.
After 2 weeks of travel with our twins, including Costa Rica and Peru, we were really, really looking forward to our first visit to New Zealand and Lyn and Alan's bush sand and sea. our hopes were so nicely exceeded. We arrived with a wife/mom under the weather and everyone else exhausted and stressed from a nearly 30 hour travel day. Now preparing to leave on our 3rd day, we are restored, rested, thinking a couple more days here would've been dandy AND already cherishing our new and fond memories. Such thoughtful warm hospitality, Lyn's knowledge of local flora and fauna and her sharing of it are priceless, as is Alan green/ sustainability perspective. The walk on Sheila's track is not to be missed, beautiful and testament to their incredible and inspiring commitment to their land, friends,/Guests and hard work ethic. Many thanks and love from us all.
Thank you Lyn and Alan for such a wonderful stay in your slice of paradise. You truly have a beautiful home and we were so glad to finish our trip in NZ here. We had a great time relaxing and also canyoning down the Kitekite Falls but the highlight was the lovely nature walk this morning. Please look us up if you are ever in Ireland. Thanks (Lyn- explanation- This private track is our passion! So we love walking down sharing the story with Guests of its construction and identifying the varied native bush).
After Peggys' long flight and my many nights of little sleep (a backpackers life) I was beyond thankful for our time here. I loved the relaxation and especially enjoyed the time we spent with Lyn talking about New Zealand, birds, the trees, the beautiful path (track) and listening to her great stories. If you get the chance, make sure you take the walk while you're visiting. Thank you so much Lyn and Alan for your warm welcome and the comfort you provided us during our stay. I am in love with this place and would love to return someday. Chelsey. (Ed's note. These Guests flew into NZ at 5.30am, and, as pre-arranged, came straight here. After breakfast with us, one slept in a spare room, the other read, while Lyn farewelled the incumbent Guests and prepared for the newcomers. We can do this because we are small, we like to help, and treat Folk the way we would like to be treated on our own travels).
We've decided to get an early start on our journey. I guess we are still on US time. We can't thank you enough for the hospitality and making us feel so welcome upon our arrival to your beautiful country, cheers.
