In three sentences La Roche has a wonderful online program for adult learners who are pursuing an RN to BSN degree. As a widowed mother of 3 children. I am not able to attend traditional classes.

Categories Comments What to do for fun The school offers some fun activities to do, but the real fun is in the city of Pittsburgh.
Food and Dining The food is great! They have so many options and even the pickiest eater can find something that they like. What I personally really like the huge salad bar that they have that is filled with local fresh produce. They also offer options like chicken and pizza, but also have things like steamed vegetables and potatoes.
Dorm Life I never have been in the dorms ( I am commute) , but I heard that they are painstakingly small. The cafeteria food is good though and they do offer fresh and local produce which is awesome. I believe that laundry is free as well.
Academic Rigor The quality of education is superb. The professors know you by name , and always are available for help. When I email my professors, it usually only takes them a few minutes to respond! (Gotta love smart phones) The class sizes are small, and if you have any type of disability or mental health issue, they will go out of their way to take care of you.
Tips for prospective students Get involved in a sport or activity, especially if you are a transfer student or freshman. There are lots of clubs you can enroll in, and not only will you make friends this way, but you can also add it to your resume.
In three sentences La Roche offers great education and diversity within the campus. You will meet lots of people and have a good time, but be able to focus on school work as well. If you are a crazy partier , this is not the place for you.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There are security officers on duty 24/7. They are pretty slow and some can be stuck up though.
Greek Life None
Clubs and Activities There are many clubs and organizations on campus, take your pick but don't over do it.
Great for these types of students Wanting a small campus environment and want small class sizes.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There is a Providence Heighs adjacent to the La Roche campus and they old volunteer opportunities every week and can be used to complete LRX requirements.
Bang for the buck La Roche is small, has 4 residence halls, 3 academic buildings, a library, and a main gathering area and cafeteria. There is also a 1200 seat gymnasium and a indoor track above the basketball court. All the buildings except the gym and residence halls are connected, giving the college a high school feel and look. The good news about this school is that it's a small campus and people know who you are. The bad news is that it's a small campus and people know who you are. So start college off right. :)
What to do for fun Hang out with friends, join activities, go out and do stuff off campus, and get involved in clubs. Only downside is that students go home on weekends so it can be very dead and some activities during the week barely have anyone at them.
Food and Dining Food can have its good and bad days. There are only two places to eat, the Cafeteria and the Red Hawk Cafe, a small take out cafe for anyone wanting a quick bite to eat.
Dorm Life Bathrooms in each room and depending what building you're in, you can have between 2-6 people in a suite style room. Only downside is that the walls are thin so you can hear your neighbors if they are loud.
Academic Rigor Medium difficulty, some classes are easy while others are hard, also depends on your major.
Tips for prospective students Make the best of it since 4-5 years fly by real quick so make them count! Make friends, socialize, and get involved but don't slack off on academics. Get tutoring if needed.
In three sentences La Roche is a small college in McCandless Township PA , with about 1500 students enrolled. Professors know who you are. This school is known for its Interior and Graphic Design programs.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Interior/Graphic design majors Foreign students Students who want to travel
Bang for the buck 3 stars because I don't pay much before the semester starts due to loans and scholarships, but I'm going to have a ton to pay back. La Roche is too expensive!!
What to do for fun Hang out with friends Go to the mall Visit the city
Food and Dining I'm not sure, I don't eat here.
Dorm Life I don't live here so I'm not sure what it's like
Academic Rigor I was a designer for my first 3 years. It was really tough. I barely slept because I had so much work.
Tips for prospective students Go to class- You won't pass if you are consistently absent. Teachers DO take attendance. Get to school early if you commute/take early classes- Parking isn't very good on campus. It's not a huge campus, but you have to park in back lots if you don't get there early enough. Plan your major out carefully- Changing it close to the end of your college career might push your graduation back. Take classes you need to graduate before you take a bunch of electives.
In three sentences Small classes definitely make hands-on education easier and more fun. Parking conditions are bad for commuters; live at school if you can, it's close to the city! There are a ton of majors to choose from even though it's a small school.

Categories Comments What to do for fun There are always things to do on campus. From karaoke nights, to bingo, to the spring formal, you`ll never be bored and there are lots of things to do in the area.
Food and Dining The food here isnt too bad. There is something you can always find to eat, Also we have an express food center called the Red Hawk Cafe
Dorm Life Dorm life is good. Freshman live in Bold where you get 1 roommate your own bed, desk, dresser, closet and you share a micro-fridge. Also you and your roommate get your own bathroom
Academic Rigor Professors here teach very well. They all have many years of experience in their field and are always willing to help
Tips for prospective students I would recommending coming to La Roche. There is always help that you can get whether you are having trouble in classes or personal issues academics and counseling support is always there for you!
In three sentences La Roche College is a very diverse and small campus. Teachers know you by name, not by number. There are many cultures and countries that are represented.

What to do for fun Hang out with people from the basketball team and go out as much as we can.
Food and Dining The food is good they have a variety of foods you can choose from.
Dorm Life I love the dorms there very spacious and it gives you a comfortable setting.
Academic Rigor Never fall behind because the more you miss work and don't show up for class the harder it is.
Tips for prospective students Make sure to always check your email because that is the main way professors will get to contact you.
In three sentences Overall I love this college because it is small and you get almost of attention from your professors. I also love the sports the student body is very supportive and come to all the games. The best thing about the college is the teaching staff everybody is willing to help you if you need it.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Always there when you need them but do not expect them to be there in a hurry unless it is an absolute emergency.
Clubs and Activities Joining clubs is a great way to stay involved and up to date on all campus activities. LAF has events at least twice a month to boost student moral and it is very effective.
Food and Dining The Redhawk is rarely open when it says it is and the food is good on occasion. The dining hall has more good days than bad but expect that with all schools.
Dorm Life Bold Hall is where all the freshman live and although it can get a bit crazy there is always something going on. Making friends with your neighbors makes for a more enjoyable semester.
Academic Rigor The professors push you to do your best and expect nothing less from you but, are there to help you if you need it. Takes notes and pay attention in class what is said will most likely be on an exam.
Tips for prospective students Take every opportunity to get to know other students, go to all social gatherings and athletic events. Get involved- join groups and make new friends.
In three sentences La Roche college has a diverse community with many exciting opportunities. The teachers truly care about you and how you perform in class. The campus is small but it makes making connections so much easier.

Categories Comments Campus Safety I would say I feel safe because they are always around, but in an emergency they weren't as helpful.
Greek Life Non-existent.
Great for these types of students People who aren't used to small schools. Those who don't want to live far away from home, but still want a college experience.
Bang for the buck Most people get a lot of money off tuition.
What to do for fun Nothing really, I guess party since there is nothing else to do. You can't walk anywhere and everyone goes home on the weekends.
Food and Dining The food just plain sucks. No variety, and it there is, it is usually a miss.
Dorm Life Dorm life is a rip off. The walls are paper thin, and with conjoining doors it makes it impossible to sleep if you have a rowdy neighbor. I think they try to lure potential students in by the benefit of having a bathroom in each dorm, but I have been to other colleges and sharing a bathroom with other people is not as bad as it seems.
Academic Rigor Compared to how hard friends from other schools study, I do not see that rigor here often.
Tips for prospective students Do not go here.
In three sentences La roche is a very small campus. Many times I feel i'm in the thirteenth grade. Many people dislike the campus and do not stay on the weekends.

Categories Comments Campus Safety It is in a good neighborhood and is also a catholic campus. I haven't heard of any problems safety wise on campus and I have attended this school for 2 years.
Greek Life I don't think there is greek life here. There may be and I just don't know of it.
Clubs and Activities I've seen everything from student union clubs, travel clubs, GSA clubs, dance clubs, and a large amount of male and female sports.
Great for these types of students Mixed culture students and those interested in sciences.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus None that I know of
Bang for the buck Between the safety of the campus, the beauty of the surroundings, the small sizes of the classes, and the professionalism of the instructors, I believe it is one of the best schools in Pittsburgh anyone can attend.
What to do for fun There are a lot of sports offered on campus to students and student activities.
Food and Dining There are a number of options on finding foo on campus and around campus. It is a large shopping district off of campus.
Dorm Life I don't live in the dorms but from what I hear, it isn't that bad.
Academic Rigor The faculty is very good at what they do. They have a lot of knowledge and information to share if the students are willing to learn it. There are some very in-depth classes that can really test your limits.
Tips for prospective students It is the same with any college you attend. Go to all of your classes. Ask your teachers if there is anything you don't understand. Study hard. Remember the reason you are in college, to secure your future, not to worry about other student's drama.
In three sentences LaRoche is a very diverse school. I love its science department. It is in a very safe location.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Constant patrolling of the campus.
Bang for the buck You can get an education anywhere, some places much cheaper, but it's all about the environment you want to learn in. They had small classes and many of the teachers I had did not act as your superior they treated you as adults so they didn't talk down to you when you didn't understand something. They would take time before or after class, even time out of their own free time to help you with any questions you had whether it was school related or personal.
What to do for fun They do offer weekly activities for all students, trips dowtown with transportation, trips to the zoo, pirate games, karoake, pizza nights, dances, theme nights. All tickets that are necessary for events such as Pirate games, or shows held downtown you can get much cheaper through them.
Food and Dining If you loved high school lunches, which I did not, you'd love their food. It's expensive and not worth eating it.
Dorm Life I did not stay on campus I commuted, but looking back I'm glad I didn't stay on campus. It's a HUGE waste of money and trust me school is expensive enough without the extra tack on of room and board plus a meal plan. Don't let anyone fool you, you don't have to stay on campus to have a real college experience. Most people went home on the weekends anyway.
Academic Rigor Being in the real world of business I'd have to say I was not taught the reality of it. The things I do every day at my job are far less scary than what they tell you in school. Memorization is a lie too, I have the help and support I need for questions on things I don't understand all around me. I don't have to stress about not remembering anything.
Tips for prospective students Be prepared to deal with issues on your own when it comes to advising, at least in management. Also, be prepared for constant screw ups with your financial aid. Don't back down, they have been WRONG EVERY TIME so far!
In three sentences They are very unorganized, and majority of the people who work there are very hard to work with on certain issues. Such as, financial aid, advising, and special needs.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The parties are fun.
Bang for the buck It is worth every dime, especially since traveling abroad is free.
What to do for fun Visit all the fun activities.
Food and Dining Could use some improvement
Dorm Life I don't live on campus
Academic Rigor The teachers will give homework, but they are laid back and do want to to get to know you.

In three sentences Beautiful Campus. Everyone is very friendly. The food could use some improvement.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Security is just a phone call away, guards walk campus all night long, and I've never felt unsafe walking in the dark from the library to my dorm.
Greek Life Not many if any sororities. I'm not sure if they exist on campus. Sports teams are very close though, you'll become a family.
Clubs and Activities So many you won't know what to do first.
Great for these types of students There's all different kinds of people on campus; athletes, intellectuals, and then those weird kids that you'll be friends with for the rest of your life.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There are events every week, you'll never be bored. Avoid the gazebos though unless you enjoy 'cancer sticks.'
Bang for the buck You'll find amazing professors who are completely willing to help you outside of class. You'll get a great education for what you're paying.
What to do for fun Sports are amazing here. Not only are our teams great but there's something for everyone. If not then just start your own. Plus La Roche is right on McKnight Road, there's always things to do.
Food and Dining Plenty of choices in the main cafeteria and also money for the cafe. You can take as much as you want in the cafeteria, one of the reasons people gain so much weight their first year in college.
Dorm Life Be ready to hear the people next door to you talking. The connecting doors do almost nothing to block noise so when they talk loudly it's like they're in the room with you. Be prepared to find out things you didn't want to know.
Academic Rigor Like anywhere else you'll find students who love to do work and those who love to party. No matter what though you can find someone who loves or hates studying just as much as you.
Tips for prospective students Join a sport. So many of my friends here are ones that I met through the team. I love my team so much and am happy that I'm getting the chance to know them.
In three sentences I absolutely love La Roche College. The campus is small and personal with all of your friends within walking distance. The students and faculty welcome you wholeheartedly without any hesitation.

Categories Comments Greek Life Does not apply.
Great for these types of students La Roche College is great for studious, low-key/mellow, non-city life, non-traditional students.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Students are invited to volunteer for many activities that are supportive of the Sisters of Divine Providence, which is the nunnery that started the school and continue to support it. The activities are a great opportunity to give back to the Sisters and the community. The labyrinth is located on the opposite side of the Mother House and is a great place to unwind and meditate. There is also a chapel on-campus that provides a sanctuary for meditation. The Wright Library is the most commonly used place for study groups, individual study, and to keep cool (it's the coolest spot on campus - temperature).
Bang for the buck The education and support are great. The tuition is a little high, but it is worth it if you are serious about getting a good education in a quiet atmosphere with great professors.
What to do for fun There are a lot of on-campus activities that appeal to a variety of students. There are amenities (malls, laser tag, parks, community pool) within driving distance, walking distance if you are not opposed to a one mile hike at minimum.
Tips for prospective students If you are looking for a school that provides small classes, a caring atmosphere, a diverse student population, and lots of support from peers and staff, then La Roche is right for you. Be sure to explore thoroughly the tuition and financial aid options that are available to you. If you like to be able to walk to local amenities or do not like the rural, small atmosphere, then you should look elsewhere.
In three sentences La Roche provides structured, focused, and diverse educational opportunities that are available in many different areas of study. The staff and professors are extremely supportive and offer assistance when it is needed in the proper amount to allow students to be successful. On-campus life is quiet, allowing plenty of time for studies, but also allowing students to engage in quality relationships with other students.

Greek Life I do not know anything about the Greek Life at La Roche as I personally am not interested in being a member.
Clubs and Activities I currently am not a member of any clubs or activities as I just transferred, but I am looking to join in the near future and there is a lot to choose from!
Great for these types of students Students looking to be part of a fun environment yet an environment extremely focused on the success of their students should check La Roche out!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The Sisters of Providence that originally founded the college is right next store! There is also a hospital 1 minute down the road!
Bang for the buck Although I do pay a bit more for my education due to the institution being a private college, I definitely feel that my money is being put to good use and that I am not wasting a single cent spent!
What to do for fun Campus is always having activities available for all students, whether they live on campus or not! There is also a shopping mall and plenty of restaurants only a short drive away!
Food and Dining Food is delicious and there is always something exciting on the menu to try!
Dorm Life Although I do not live on campus, I hear the dorms are clean, neat, and a wonderful living environment!
Academic Rigor Definitely challenging but the challenge is rewarding in the end and help is ALWAYS available!
Tips for prospective students Definitely complete a tour of the campus and a meeting with an academic adviser! They are extremely friendly and are willing to do whatever they can to help you meet your educational goals!
In three sentences La Roche College is a small, yet bustling school. Professors and students throughout the school are friendly, always smiling, and eager to help in anyway they can. I transferred here but have never felt more at home!

For the last 30 years I have been a professional artist/designer and feel very lucky that I can indulge my passion for art and design on a daily basis. Art is a bit of an addiction to me, I love the the way by using different experimental techniques, and by starting with a general idea I can develop and watch each painting evolve through the creation process, seeing how the mediums work together to produce unique effects and colour blends and washes. All my paintings are unique and original, using different techniques and a number of different medium and compounds I produce paintings with a textured quality. My work is abstract i... (see more)

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) can sustain its high profit margins because it behaves not like a hardware manufacturer such as Dell (NASDAQ:DELL) or Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ), but like a platform company with a loyal user base, Bernstein Research's Toni Sacconaghi said in a research note.
How Does Sacconaghi Interpret Apple's Business?
The analyst said recent investor worries were overstated because Apple was not "handset company" that is subject to "significant commoditization and margin risk." Instead, it was a "platform company" like Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and IBM (NYSE:IBM) that will be able to retain customers over a long period of time and sustain above-average profit margins. "In many senses, we believe that [Google (NASDAQ:GOOG)] Android smartphones are the PCs of today, with significant commoditization and switching risk, given that they share a common software platform and applications store/base," Sacconaghi wrote, according to Barron's. That leads to migrations such as from HTC to Samsung, for instance.

Over the last 25 years, The Orb has charted one of the most idiosyncratic paths in music, notching up hit singles and albums, sellout shows all over the world and an impressive string of collaborations, most recently reggae legend Lee Perry on More Orbservations From The Starhouse. Initially formed by Alex Paterson and the KLF's Jimmy Cauty in 1988, The Orb has since consisted of the former plus different collaborators, springing to prominence with 1989's 'A Huge Ever-Growing Pulsating Brain Which Rules From The Centre Of The Ultraworld' before 1991's The Orb's Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld created a new genre called 'ambient house' but stretching into dub and avant garde. 'Little Fluffy Clouds' [co-written with long-time collaborator Youth] was a hit single, followed by 1992's U.F. Orb reaching number one in the album charts, spawning a top ten single in the epic 'Blue Room'. The Orb went on to release a string of albums, including Live '93, Orbus Terrarum, Orblivion, Cydonia, Bicycles & Tricycles, The Dream and Baghdad Batteries, collaborating with Pink Floyd's Dave Gilmour on 2010's Metallic Spheres. Alex, who played a pivotal role in the creation of Primal Scream's epoch-making Screamadelica, has also pursued side projects, run his own record labels and remixed names including Primal Scream, Erasure and Front 242, while DJing all over the world and for BBC Radio. The silver jubilee shows are both testament to the longevity of a uniquely original British musical talent and guarantee of an evening of floor-shaking grooves, warmly-surreal humour and the original euphoric spirit which turned acid house into the biggest youth revolution since punk rock.

It is deeply disappointing that the Senate has once again passed up the opportunity to eliminate the sham filibuster. In enacting new rules, the Senate left in place the ability of the minority party - currently Republicans - to require a supermajority of 60 votes to advance a bill. They can do this by simply declaring a filibuster. We understand the Senate's role in making sure momentous legislation is not rushed into law without proper debate, but we long for a return to the days of the genuine filibuster when senators who wanted to block a bill actually had to keep talking. This assured that only policies that the minority party considered extremely important would be subject to the blocking tactic. The virtual filibuster allows 41 senators to stop routine legislation for the most pedestrian of political motivations.
But Democratic Majority Sen. Harry Reid did not want to use the opportunity a new Senate session provided to strong arm into policy a filibuster reform. His fear and that of other Democrats is that one day they will be in the minority and want to retain the same ability to raise havoc. The better way to avoid that eventuality is to do a good job and win elections.
The positive news is that some reforms passed, worked out between Sen. Reid of Nevada and the Republican leader, Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. Democrats lose some of the tools they have used as the majority to block Republicans from amending bills on the floor. Republicans surrendered some procedural tactics they have used to kill bills before they can move to debate. And all senators will now have a greater ability to propose changes to legislation. The hand of the leadership has been too strong in preventing senators from influencing bills.
Most importantly, perhaps, the new rules remove needless impediments to acting on the president's district court judge nominations. Due to political game playing, not the competence of the candidates, President Obama's judicial nominees have waited more than three times longer for confirmation than those of his predecessor.
While the changes are fine, the decision to let the current filibuster rule stand was a mistake.

Peace From London
Hey what's up all, I've just started posting on the forum so thought I'd drop a little message to say hello and a quick introduction, I'm a Pakistani female born and raised in London, UK. I grew up listening to Wu Tang Clan, they got me through some tough times so I hold a special place in my heart for them (as corny as that may sound). I look forward to checking out the knowledge on these pages. Peace.
Welcome here miss broad
welcome.. kinda late tho..
wu died in 2000 enjoy your time here :) |
Thanks for the welcome! I only just found this site.. but for me Wu Tang is Forever :)
indeed wu is forever.. but id only class their material from the 1st ten years as classic.
When did you get into wu? FaVe albums/tracks? Where in loldon do you reside? im from the westmids Peace. |
I know what you mean, I never thought that era of hip hop would come to an end but it did and I'm so grateful I was there to appreciate it. I started listening to Wu around 1995, when I was at school I loved their raw beats and meaningful lyrics. I've been feeling different members more so at different points in my life.
My fave album is Wu Chronicles, I love so many tracks from that and then 36 Chambers because it has tracks on it which are classic like Triumph and C.R.E.A.M. That's how I found Wu. Triumph is my all time fave Wu track because every lyric is so tight and the video is so classic too!!! I have my favorite tracks from every album though, and there are soo many solo albums to pick a favorite. I like affiliates like Shyheim and Gravediggaz a lot too, although I know Shyeim switched on Wu, his earlier music was good. I really like RZA's, 'The world according to RZA' album because I love they way he collaborate with so many different people, and that track, Souls on Fire is so beautiful!! I'm from North West London, who else is from the UK on here? |
Thanks for the responce :)
There are a few heads on here from the uk.. not too sure on handles, back in the day their was moar.. but now :s this place is as dead as wu.. lol that era for hiphop was amazing.. maybe it wasnt.. but it was for me.. from 91-98/99 so many classics dropped.. wu forever or ironman have to be my faves.. but my over all wu related fave album has to be heavy mental, i remembers them days so fondly.. downloading demo's of tracks and exclusives.. checking 5elements and u wu (john book) all the time.. buying the albums and feeling so amped/hyped.. then spending days listening to everytrack about 1zillion times.. i recently listened to 6 feet deep.. after a good 10 years or so..and i was like wtf.. the lyrics are still sick but i dont know.. i felt like how the fuck could i listen to this.. lololol :s i kinda hate wu now.. i see them as every other artist.. out to make money the message is on the back burner.. what made me love wu was,. they made me go out and research,. releases post forever are just garbage..lol i prefer these artists :p eligh/grouch/zion i/living legends/cyrus malachi/m9/immortal technique/lowkey/babylon warchild/c rayz wals/ill bill/reef/aotp/celph titled/apathy i actually think hiphop is a lot better now, than back when wu kicked ass.. more diversity! Peace. |
Welcome to the boards, it's nice to have another fellow londoner here.
^What the hell are you giving thanks for Check - Six? Do you want me to beat you up and take all of your Wu Tang albums son?
check always deserves thanks, he is the god of the mud society, he owns this wu board,. dont let the peruvian hating get to you my brother check.
Peace my London brother, where do you stay?
You really think Hip Hop is better now? Which artists do you like? I agree it's more diverse and opened up more globally but for me nothing that beat that 90's sound!! Thanks for the warm welcome everyone :) |

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Dual-chamber ICDs are implanted in a majority of primary prevention patients without a pacing indication who receive an ICD. Although there are a number of theoretical advantages with dual-chamber devices, these devices are more likely to cause complications. Although CMS requires providers to justify the medical necessity of dual-chamber devices, current guidelines from the AHA/ACC and HRS do not specify a single-chamber device.
In a new study published in JAMA, Pamela Peterson and colleagues analyzed data from 32,000 primary prevention patients without a pacing indication who were enrolled in the National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR). 38% received a single-chamber device and 62% received a dual-chamber device. At 1 year there wereno significant differences in mortality, all-cause hospitalization, or heart failure hospitalization between the two groups. However, patients in the dual-chamber group had a higher risk of complications, including a highly significant increase in the 90 day risk of mechanical complications requiring reoperation (1.43% in the single-chamber group versus 2.02% in the dual-chamber group, p < 0.001). A very similar pattern emerged when the investigators performed an analysis that matched patients in the two groups with a propensity model. The analysis suggested "that the choice of a dual-chamber device is relatively random with respect to patient characteristics.
In their discussion the authors noted that dual-chamber devices are more expensive than single-chamber devices and are also likely to increase costs through more complications and a greater risk of generator depletion. "Our study does not provide evidence that would support the more costly and more morbid device for patients receiving an ICD for primary prevention," they wrote.
The authors concluded:
"Many patients receiving primary prevention ICDs receive dual-chamber devices. Dual-chamber devices do not appear to offer any clinical benefit over single-chamber devices with regard to death, all-cause readmission, or heart failure readmission in the year following implant. However, dual-chamber ICDs are associated with higher rates of complications. Therefore, among patients without clear pacing indications, the decision to implant a dual-chamber ICD for primary prevention should be considered carefully."

It happens every spring. It happened with A.J. Burnett. It happened with Phil Hughes. Now it's happening with Michael Pineda. The new young Yankees starter is working on his changeup, and so that one pitch became the biggest topic of discussion after today's game. Pineda guessed he threw five or six of them — including the strikeout pitch to Shane Victorino — but Larry Rothschild said the number was closer to four.
Regardless, the changeup was an effective third pitch. Pineda can still get on the side of it from time to time, creating more side-to-side movement rather than sinking action, but everyone seems to agree that he's willing — eager even — to improve a pitch that could make the different between a middle-of-the-rotation starter and a top-of-the-rotation ace.
"I called it just like I would in a season," Russell Martin said. "Obviously I don't want him to get beat in certain situations with it yet because we're still working on it, but there were some situations that dictated that it was the right pitch to call, and he's game."
Larry Rothschild
"I think he'll be fearless with it. I think he will use it provided he's comfortable with it and it's an effective pitch for him. That's the key to the whole thing… I think if he can get a few outs a game on it, that's what you want. And it's going to setup the other pitches a lot better. To put a ratio on (how often he should throw it), I'll just stay away from that, but if he's comfortable with it you'll see it certain days. Maybe he's not throwing the breaking ball for a strike, the changeup's going to be used more. Maybe it's a day where he's got a real good feel for it, he uses it more. And maybe some days the other two pitches are dominant and you're not going to see it as much."
Joe Girardi
"You like that attitude. You want a guy that's willing to work at something and try to get better as opposed to just saying, what I've got is good enough. He got two outs with it and that's a start with his changeup."
Russell Martin
"Not everybody can have a feel for that pitch, and he seemed to have a decent feel for it. It doesn't look that difficult for him so I don't see why it couldn't be a good pitch for him… I'm not surprised because when I caught him in the pen, he had a good idea of it. And he had been working on it for a couple of weeks with Larry, or a week or so. But when something clicks and something feels god, automatically you see results. And I think the new grip he's worked on with Larry immediately clicked with him."
Michael Pineda
"It's not my first time I'm practicing my changeup. I had a long time in Seattle when I'm practicing my changeup. But right now, I'm feeling more comfortable with my changeup… I'm a little bit surprised because my changeup was very good, but I'm working hard in the offseason on my changeup."

Would the Minnesota Twins trade Kevin Correia?
- 14 June, 2013 //

Could the Minnesota Twins trade Kevin Correia if they fall out of contention?
Former big-league general manager Jim Bowden, now working for ESPN as a baseball analyst, seems to think so.
In an article posted today that lists 20 Starting Pitchers Who Could Be Traded, Correia was listed among five potential No. 4 starters who could be on the move before the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline.
"Correia is affordable and a proven double-digit winner," Bowden writes. "He's ideal for the back of the rotation for a contending team that is looking for someone to keep them in the game for six innings."
Correia, who signed a two-year, $10 million deal with the Twins this offseason, is having a very solid first half. His latest start, a five-inning outing in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies, was actually just the fourth time in 13 starts this year that he had failed to complete six innings.
The 112 pitches he threw were his most since tying a career-high (114) in 2009 as a member of the San Diego Padres against his original team, San Francisco.
Overall, Correia is 5-4 with a 3.97 ERA and could probably bring the Twins at least two solid prospects in return. Once Triple-A ace Kyle Gibson is deemed ready for a big-league shot, and that day is most assuredly coming, the Twins will be overbooked in their rotation.
They also have surprising lefty Andrew Albers down at Triple-A Rochester along with Opening Day starter Vance Worley, lefty Pedro Hernandez and spring-training sensation RHP Cole De Vries, who opened the year in the big-league rotation but wasn't healthy enough to make a start.
Bowden listed Correia as having a 60 percent chance of being traded, which ranked him as the sixth-most-likely relocation candidate among starting pitchers.
Those ranked ahead of Correia on Bowden's mobility meter: Marlins RHP Ricky Nolasco (95 percent), Cubs RHPs Matt Garza (90 percent) and Scott Feldman (70 percent), Blue Jays RHP Josh Johnson (70 percent) and Astros RHP Bud Norris (65 percent).
I also found it interesting that Twins RHP Mike Pelfrey, who is coming off Tommy John surgery and has been better of late, made Bowden's list of five honorable mention trade candidates among rotation members.
Pelfrey is signed for just one year at $4 million and figures to cost well north of that next season and beyond if he can stay healthy.
How would you rate Correia's chances of being traded if the Twins, surprisingly competitive thus far, start to fall back in the standings?

19 years of Debian
Happy 19th birthday, Debian!
The Debian project is 19 years old now. Following Francesca's invitation (and Raphaël's lead, and using Leandro's image, collaboratively as it always happens here), I will tell a bit of my memories: How I got to Debian.
I am a Debian user since ~2000, and a Debian Developer since April 2003. But, just as Raphaël's, my history must go somewhat further back in time.
In 1992, I got my first 1200bps modem, and almost immediately became an avid BBS user (what's that? Javier Matuk talks [in Spanish] about BBSes in his newspaper column back in 1994). By mid 1993 I started operating my own BBS, CatarSYS. One of the key points that defined CatarSYS is that my focus was large-scale communication. I started connecting to several BBS networks, allowing messages to be relayed to distant people, mainly in the USA and Spain, and getting some feeds that could be seen as the poor man's Usenet.
At some point during the year I kept CatarSYS going, I got connected through a strange set of gateways to pure gold: A UUCP feed! This means, during some months, I operated the first (free, hobbyist) service that offered its users a free Internet mail address in Mexico. Yes, it was completely different to what we are used to today. I tried to connect to my provider at least three times a week, but this meant less than one week turnover time for messages sent to people anywhere in the world! But, back to Debian: Via this UUCP feed, I also got some real Usenet newsgroups — Including several on the comp.os category. I remember reading about Linux back then, and learning some commands, but didn't really get hooked into it.
I was in Israel from July 1994 to June 1995, doing completely non-computer-related tasks. Came back in 1995, and due to my father being an academic, got dialup internet access at home. WOW, *real* Internet!
It didn't take me long to start downloading Linux information and floppy images. One failed after another. But before the end of the year, I found in a bookshop a book (that included a CD-ROM) called "Build your own web server with Linux". WOW again — Remember this was still 1995! I bought it, and shortly afterwards, I had a Slackware system (Linux kernel 1.0.9) running. That meant many sleepless nights full of joy and frustration (as getting hardware to work was cloe to impossible).
By 1996, I got (within one week) my two first real jobs: A systems administrator at a small ISP and a highschool teacher. At the ISP, I got a spare computer to play with Linux, as –of course– the Big Server was running with Windows NT 3.51. Poor little machine... By then I was already a part of the Mexican Linux User Group. This group had just printed a batch of Linux CDs — RedHat 4.0. This was the first release that really made me happy and allowed me to do good work. Together with a friend I took to work with us, Juan Pablo Romero, we installed over a weekend a full replacement for our buggy NT machine, in much cheaper hardware. Of course, Linux was nowhere near corporate-recognition, and our project remained a project, not touching the Windows machine.
Anyway... Several years passed, and I was happy with my RedHat choice. I won't mention the milestones and job changes, as it would get boring and leave the point completely aside. By the year 2000, I was quite more involved with the LUG, as well as with the computer security group in DGSCA-UNAM. I became also an OpenBSD user, and had got so hooked up in free software that I felt the need to collaborate: To be a little part of one of those Big Projects that had given me so much. But which one?
I have never been much of a programmer — Yes, I can solve my everyday needs and have fun with it, and sometimes a bit beyond that. I enjoy programming. But all of my projects have begun little… and stayed little. I wanted to join OpenBSD, as it was a community I really believed in, but given my skillset (and given a flame-prone, aggressive developer community), I lost motivation to do so.
By 2000, I had also lost faith in RedHat. I don't have the exact dates, so I might be some months off — But after RedHat's IPO, I felt a sharp change. Version 7.0 was really demotivating — It tried to offer a polished desktop experience, but was really buggy, unstable, and full of bad decisions. In Mexico, Pepe Neif had taken up the job of making a derivative distribution of RedHat (called LinuxPPP), pressing hundreds of CDs and making a teaching program I was part of several times. Talking with Pepe (who continued to release based on RedHat 6), he told me he was interested in switching over to become a Debian-based distribution, but the job of migrating his installed base made the project stall — LinuxPPP reached only version 6.4.
But I installed Debian in early 2000, and loved it. I started getting familiar with its social philosophy and foundation documents at the same time I started migrating my servers from RedHat to Debian — This must have been by Spring 2000, as I installed Potato while it was frozen but not yet stable.
By January 2002 I applied for NM. My process took a long time, as my AM got MIA when he had already approved me (but before sending the AM report), so basically I had to go through AM twice — And by April 16, 2003, I got accepted as a DD. Contrary to what is acceptable today, I requested the full process to be done before starting to maintain any packages, as I didn't want to bother people with package sponsorship requests, so my whole process was done evaluating packages I would eventually upload.
Since becoming a DD, my main involvement in the project has been in packaging groups (I was a pkg-perl founder and member for many years, and am currently working in the pkg-ruby-extras group). But, as I said, my main strength is not programming — So my main involvement in Debian has been more social than technical: I have been a DebConf organizer since 2005, a very interesting, stressing, rewarding and (for some months) time-demanding role, and since 2009 I am part of the keyring maintainence team, which is much easier workload, although carries important ramifications.
So, after 19 years of Debian, and after nine years of me being part of it, Debian is clearly my strongest link to the Free Software community, a project I have grown to love and whose way of being I share and enjoy studying and explaining. And it is a technically excellent product, and a great place to start and keep learning both about how every aspect and layer of an operating system works, and how human-to-human interaction works in such a diverse, almost impossible environment happens.
Congratulations, Debian!

On enjoying history, opposed to what happens around me
I have always liked learning and understanding history. Since I discovered him, for a couple of years already I always try to catch Javier Garciadiego's program Conversaciones sobre historia, Saturday 9AM in the Horizonte 108 radio station (can be listened to online). This program started by going over the events just before the beginning of the 1910 revolution in Mexico - and along slightly over five years, one hour per week and following different threads, the program has reached the end of the Cristiada, in the early 1930s. Garciadiego has a very nice, followable, amenable way of telling history, and I have recommended his program to many friends.
This last June, I spent some days in Guatemala City, for DrupalCamp Centroamérica. I stayed with my good Colombian friend, Dilson, and at his house he had framed a poster of the History of the Civilizations. Of course, I got my nose close to it, guessing as many faces as possible in the lot. And he showed me his last Christmas present: Two books, each of them with 6 CDs. One is Historia de las Civilizaciones, the second one is Historia de las independencias. They are made by Colombia's very well known and well regarded historian Diana Uribe. I copied the CDs in order to listen to them later – And wow, was I impressed! Diana Uribe makes a great narrative about topics that to some people would seem boring and dry. As I said, I have always found passion in understanding the human processes that have shaped civilization and brought us all the way to where we stand now. Well, Diana Uribe manages to bring more "normal" people to this passion. While looking for information on her to share in this blog post, I found so many places offering download of her disks, with apparently young people talking about how she has got them all so excited and interested in history... That's, I think, the best "thank you" any academician can get: having non-specialists say how her work has opened up the passion of one of the world's least sexy professions to them. And yes – there are so many "thank you" and "I want" commentaries, so much of what I would call "fan mail", that it took me a bit to find an online library carrying both works. And yes, at ~US$50 each, I do intend to buy them. Now, why am I writing this today? Well, yes, because I finished listening to the series today, but besides – During this year, most of Latin American countries conmemorate their 200 years of existence. Most of the independentist struggles in the continent started in 1809-1810. And today is the "partying" day in Mexico – Says the legend that in the night between September 15 and 16, 1810, a priest who is always painted as old and charismatic called on his small town urging the people to rise and fight for independence, and as a result of that, only 11 years later Mexico was a fully independent country, spanning from Costa Rica to California, and... well, a nice and very idealized myth. A century later, in 1910, after a very long stability and growth period (attained mostly through repression, the same abstract thing named as "the people" rose against the dictator Porfirio Díaz, who had been Mexico's president for 30 years. The revolution deeply changed the social face of the country, but politically... After ~15 years of fighting, the result was that a 30 year long dictatorship was replaced by a 70 year long one... And our political system still has not evolved beyond that model. Now, comparing what has not improved nor even stayed the same but went backwards... A century ago, the festivities of the hundred years of independence were a time for showing pride, for showing to the guests from more "civilized" countries how ours was by then a modern, thriving country worth believing in, worth investing in: Besides the important, majestic and well built monuments that were erected and still stand today (i.e. the Column of the Independence or Hemiciclo a Juárez, many institutions that would socially shape the next century –even after Díaz's death, even after he had been declared not the role model we wanted after all– were born: The National University (nowadays the most important university in Latin America), the National School for Professors, the Railroad Technical School and many others (see Javier Aranda's note for some more details)... The celebration was well-thought and planned. Of course, it didn't go into some darker corners, the country was as uneven and unfair as it can be for the poorer indigenous population (which back then was a majority), and what not. But this year? Well, we are expecting an impressive show tonight (which I won't see, even though I'd like to, as I no longer have a TV and even if I had wanted to go downtown for the celebration, different government branches are insisting we should just sit and watch it by TV at home as it can be too crowded... so not even that was well thought out – Of course not every Mexican can go to the same square and see the same de-facto president do the ritual, but some more redundancy could be thought, spreading acts through all of the city instead of concentrating the festivities all along Reforma. But anyway – Leaving aside our current de-facto ruler's inabilities to do anything worthy, which are already well known and documented... I took this opportunity to listen to a great work, and am most happy to do it, and to be able to share it with you. |

About the Book
Enter a world of tender friendships, staunch loyalties, violent jealousies—and enduring love.
As a child, Sheri Speede knew that she wanted to advocate for animals in any way she could. But it was not until many years after veterinary school, when she was transporting a chimpanzee named Pierre away from a biomedical facility as part of her job as a conservation advocate in Cameroon, that Dr. Speede discovered her true calling. She began to search for land for a forest sanctuary for captive chimpanzees that were held on chains and in small cages at local hotels.
Dr. Speede eventually founded the Sanaga-Yong Chimpanzee Rescue Center, a forested home for orphans of the illegal ape meat trade. One chim- panzee, Dorothy, was rescued by Dr. Speede and her colleagues from a bleak existence imprisoned on a chain and forged a deep friendship with her. Dr. Speede explains how chimpanzees, like humans, are capable of a broad spectrum of emotional behaviors—both hateful and loving. Dr. Speede also candidly reveals her own struggles as a stranger in a foreign culture trying to adjust to rural African village life. And she admits that unlike Dorothy, she was not always kind, gentle, and forgiving.
Dorothy died of old age at the sanctuary, and a photograph of Dorothy's funeral, in which Dr. Speede cradled Dorothy's head while her family of chimpanzees mournfully viewed her body, went viral after being published in National Geographic. The world was surprised at the depth of the chimps' grief at the loss of their friend, but Dr. Speede was not. Through the chimps, she had come to understand the meaning of love, loyalty, and true connection.
While this is a compelling story about the emotional complexity of the chimpanzees she rescued and befriended, it is also Dr. Speede's story. Major events in her personal life, including love affairs, dangerous run-ins with criminals, and the birth of her daughter, unfold as the development of her primate rescue center runs parallel to her own development. Ultimately, Kindred Beings is a story of profound resilience, of both the apes and the woman who loved them.
Critical Praise
"Kindred Beings is both an engrossing African adventure and an inspiring story of how an animal activist has devoted her life to chimpanzees. This fascinating book will forever change how you see chimpanzees-and how you feel about the importance of safeguarding their places on our planet." — Dr. Marty Becker, "America's Veterinarian"
Sheri Speede chose to make a difference in the lives of Jacky, Nama, Dorothy, and dozens of other apes, which says as much about Sheri's commitment as the chimpanzees' inner strength. Sheri ultimately emerged triumphant, perhaps for one simple reason: humanity is not restricted to human beings. — Douglas Cress, program coordinator of Great Apes Survival Partnership (GRASP)
In Cameroon, Dr. Sheri Speede has enabled law enforcement to fight wildlife trafficking by establishing an excellent forest sanctuary where rescued chimpanzees get care and love. Without facilities like hers, animals would suffer lives of abuse or move on in the sordid international trade. Read this book! — Dr. Shirley McGreal, founder of the International Primate Protection League
Sheri Speede's powerful story shows the reader the broad range of personalities seen in chimpanzees, with complex emotional needs, a rich social fabric, and self-awareness. It opens our eyes to the reality that all animals have emotions, and it pleads for an end to animal abuse. — Marilyn Kroplick, M.D., president of IDA-Africa

Editor's note: Clark resident Mary Walker volunteers at the Tasaru Girls Rescue Centre in Narok, Kenya. The center was built in 2002 and provides a safehouse for Maasai girls who have escaped or been rescued from female genital mutilation and forced childhood marriage. Walker's updates from Kenya appear periodically in the Steamboat Today.
The high water in Routt County this season (and elsewhere in the country, for that matter) is causing all kinds of problems for a lot of people. Meanwhile, in Kenya, it's the complete absence of any predictability about water supply every year that causes life-threatening problems for its people.
Here is how it is supposed to go in a place like Narok, Kenya: wheat and maize are planted in March or so in order take advantage of the "long" rainy season of April. But the past couple of years, there have been drenching rains around Christmas that flooded the town of Narok and backed up its wastewater drainage system, forcing all downtown restaurants to close for several days because of sanitation concerns, and packing the streets with so much mud that vehicles couldn't use most of the roads in town. Fortunately the road to Maasai Mara through town wasn't affected. And then there hasn't been much rain in April the past two years. "No farms, no food" is a for sure in Kenya — it is not just the bumper sticker expression it is here in the U.S. When wheat and maize crops fail in Kenya because of unreliable rains, real people really suffer.
Maasai women are having to spend more of their time searching for clean water in sufficient quantities for feeding their families. Once-dependable sources, such as rivers, even bore holes, are drying up. If they can afford pieces of sheet metal for their roofs, some drainpipe, and some kind of storage device they are able to collect a lot of water during rainy periods. But most of these women don't have that kind of disposable income after they've taken care of the needs of their children — food and school fees, but also unexpected medical expenses, an unforeseen transportation expense, or assisting a neighbor or family member with an even more dire financial need. Besides a piece of sheet metal, there are so many things that even a very small "discretionary" amount of money can do for these women — a small solar cell to provide enough power to charge a cell phone (saving her from having to pay for that whenever she goes to town) or light one light bulb so that her children can study at night. Startup money to operate additional farm plots that increase her yield to sell would increase her income, which in turn would increase her ability to save even a small amount of money each month.
I was with a group of girls from the rescue center once when they were collecting water.
They complained that the water was too dirty to wash their clothes but they showed no hesitancy to drink it and did.
The irony of the overabundance of free and clean water in my life here in Routt County compared with the complete unreliability of water in Kenya makes me dream of the day when we have figured out how to share this resource across the world.

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
Mortgage lenders and brokers are aware that the new regulations on loan originator compensation (part of Regulation Z) will go into effect on April 1. One aspect of those regulations that has received little attention until just recently is that if the consumer pays the loan originator directly (which may be the case with mortgage brokers, but will not be the case with loan originators who are employed by the creditor), the regulations prohibit any other person from providing any compensation to a loan originator, directly or indirectly, in connection with that particular transaction. This means that, if a mortgage broker is paid by the consumer, (i) the mortgage broker cannot receive additional compensation from the lender, and (ii) the lender cannot also pay compensation to any of its internal loan originators in connection with that loan (with the possible exception of an hourly wage). It is also worth noting that payments to a loan originator made out of loan proceeds are considered compensation received directly from the consumer. There is some question as to whether this is exactly the result that the Federal Reserve Board intended. We understand that the Mortgage Bankers Association of America is seeking clarification from the Fed on this provision, so it is possible that some modification will be forthcoming. Barring that, though, mortgage lenders should be prepared to comply with the above limitations commencing April 1.
