In the realm of commercial cloning, trickled-down technology from this cutting edge field of research has allowed firms to offer pet cloning services. And in the realm of research, tremendous advances continue as scientists are hatching plans to resurrect extinct beasts. Scientists have almost finished mapping the Woolly Mammoth genome, and have already injected DNA from an extinct species into a mouse.
Now arguably the greatest landmark event for the field of cloning has occurred. Scientists have for the first time cloned an extinct animal, the Pyrenean ibex, a form of wild mountain goat. The really spectacular thing about this cloning effort is that it was done using only DNA from skin samples.
Technically classed as a genetically distinct subspecies of the Spanish ibex, the Pyrenean ibex, or bucardo as it is called by the locals, used to roam the mountainous hillside of northern Spain. Known for its distinct horns, the animal was a popular target for hunters, and by the 19th century only 100 were left. The species was not declared protected until 1973, at which time there were around 30 animals. In 2000, the last known member of this critically endangered species was found dead on a hillside. Researchers at the time decided to wisely preserve skin samples in liquid nitrogen.
The well-preserved skin samples proved a fruitful source for DNA. Replicating this DNA using common genomic techniques, the researchers injected it into goat eggs, replacing the goat DNA.
While a great success, the effort also showcased the difficult road ahead for producing viable clones. While born alive, the newborn ibex kid had defects in its lungs, similar to those found in many cloned sheep, and they proved fatal. However, as some sheep clones have lived relatively normal lifespans, the success raises the hope of a more permanent resurrection.
Dr Jose Folch, from the Centre of Food Technology and Research of Aragon helped lead the research. He states, "The delivered kid was genetically identical to the bucardo. In species such as bucardo, cloning is the only possibility to avoid its complete disappearance."
Professor Robert Miller, director the Medical Research Council's Reproductive Sciences Unit at Edinburgh University who heads a northern white rhino cloning effort funded by the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland cheered the news. He states, "I think this is an exciting advance as it does show the potential of being able to regenerate extinct species. Clearly there is some way to go before it can be used effectively, but the advances in this field are such that we will see more and more solutions to the problems faced."
The race is now on to make sure that critically endangered species' tissues are preserved for future cloning efforts. Britain's Zoological Society of London and America's Natural History Museum have teamed up in a project called Frozen Ark. They are in the process of storing samples from thousands of species.
While cloning a dinosaur is highly improbable due to DNA's chemical tendency to rapidly break apart to the point where it cannot be sequenced, this new breakthrough paves the way for cloning of both endangered species, and extinct species with fully sequenced genomes, such as Neanderthals or, likely soon, the Woolly Mammoth. However, this new work also highlights the extreme challenge ahead in trying to establish a sustainable population of a cloned animal, or even clones that live to reach adulthood.

The purpose of screening is early diagnosis and treatment. Screening tests are given to people without current symptoms, but who may be at high risk for certain diseases or conditions. There are no screening tests for PAD itself, however, your doctor will screen for risk factors that contribute to vascular disease by doing the following at regular checkups:
- Blood pressure measurements
- Blood tests to measure cholesterol and glucose levels
- Body weight checks, such as checking your body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference
- Questions about your lifestyle habits, such as eating, smoking, and exercise
If you are at high risk for PAD, your doctor may want further evaluation such as:
- Visual inspection —Your doctor should look carefully at the skin of all of your limbs during regular check-ups. Changes in skin texture and/or color, the presence of ulcerations or nonhealing wounds may indicate PAD.
- Pulses —Your doctor can listen and feel for pulses in your feet and groin. Bruits, abnormal sounds in the arteries heard with a stethoscope, and weak pulses, are signs of possible PAD.
- Ankle-brachial index (ABI) —To determine the ABI, your doctor takes pressures in both arms and ankles using a blood pressure cuff and a simple device to detect blood flow called a Doppler. The blood pressure readings are then used to calculate your ABI. A value less than or equal to 0.9 signals PAD.

For Greens, daughter's memory fuels giving
Christina-Taylor Green Foundation's gift to help build local youth-sports center
By Barry M. Bloom / MLB.com
TUCSON, Ariz. -- Thursday marked the third annual exhibition game to raise money for the Christina-Taylor Green Memorial Foundation at Kino Stadium, and that non-profit organization is giving back.
Before the Cactus League tilt between the Dodgers and Cubs, the Greens presented a $100,000 grant to Southern Arizona Community Sports, which is in the process of constructing a new $6 million center for youth sports.
"We are very proud that, through her foundation, we can keep our daughter's dreams, hopes and memories alive by giving back to others," her father, John Green, said before the brief ceremony.
Christina-Taylor was killed on Jan. 8, 2011, at a nearby Safeway shopping center about a mile from her home. She was there that morning for a Congress on Your Corner event to meet then U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords when a man tried to take Gifford's life and then turned his gun on the crowd.
Six people were killed and 13 others wounded, including Giffords, who was shot in the head and is still trying to recover. Christina-Taylor was the only child among the dead. The gunman is in jail for the rest of his life with no chance of parole.
Christina-Taylor was the daughter of John Green, a Dodgers scout, and was the granddaughter of Dallas Green, the long-time big league manager and icon who is a consultant for the Phillies. Roxanna, her mother, was a homemaker, and has since written a book about coping with the experience. Her daughter was 9 years old at the time of her death. Her older brother, Dallas, again threw out the first pitch on Thursday, and there was again a sold-out crowd, this time 11,118.
When the shootings occurred at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., late last year, Roxanna traveled there to offer solace to the families, not once, but twice. She's a top spokesperson for the New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg-led committee, "Mayors Against Illegal Guns."
"And I'll keep doing that until the day I die," she said.
The commitment from this family and community is truly heroic, but to convert an old adage, time doesn't necessarily heal these kind of devastating old wounds.
"I am doing the best I can," Roxanna said. "It's a hard day sometimes. There are good days and bad days. My heart will always be broken. There's a hole in my heart forever, and I will always miss her. This is one thing that you don't heal from. Time does not heal a loss like this. When your daughter is robbed from you -- and I say robbed because it shouldn't have happened. It was senseless.
"But I'm very happy today and I know she's looking down on us with a smiling face, because she was a big baseball fan."
Christina-Taylor was the only girl on her Canyon Del Oro Little League team and had told her parents she wanted to be the first female in the Major Leagues. On Thursday, her No. 12 again hung above the bullpen in left.
Even at her formative age, Christina-Taylor was into student government at Mesa Verde Elementary School, and that was the reason why a neighbor took her that fateful morning to meet Giffords.
Born on Sept. 11, 2001, a day of unspeakable tragedy, Christina-Taylor died under a similar shadow, her mother so often has written and said.
In the immediate wake of this inexplicable horror, the Dodgers, the baseball family and the community at large came together in a show of support that continues today.
"I've known John Green since he was a teenager, and [I've known] his dad for 30 years," said Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti, who worked for Dallas Green when the two were with the Cubs during the 1980s. "When it crosses my mind what occurred, it's something that breaks your heart no matter how far away from that date life gets. That we can play a game and the people of Tucson support it, we've had three consecutive sellouts. As long as I'm in baseball and we train in Arizona, I'll be here."
The first game, coming only a little more than a month after the incident when emotions were still so raw, helped establish the Foundation. Today, it is run out of the dining room of the Green's home north of downtown Tucson. Roxanna is executor and sole employee, so administrative costs are extremely low. The Christina-Taylor Foundation donates almost every penny that's raised for causes that Roxanna hopes her daughter would have been proud to support.
"This means a lot to me and Roxanna. I can't thank the Dodgers and Cubs enough for coming down here," John Green said. "When we lost our daughter, the community of Tucson really got behind us. The Major League Baseball community also got behind us. It really means a lot to us and to the people who lost a piece of their families that day on Jan. 8 two years ago. It's because of things like this that we're able to get through that."
Through the auspices of the Foundation, the Greens have already helped rebuild elementary-school playgrounds and have given scholarships to underprivileged children. On the field before Thursday's game, a symbolic check was presented to Don Tringali, executive director of South Arizona Community Sports, to help build a 40,000-square-foot sports complex in Curtis Park where local kids can play.
John Green said that the foundation earmarks funds for the "Three A's" that were uppermost in Christina-Taylor's life: Athletics, arts and academics.
"Those are things we want to get behind," John Green said. "And the Tucson Padres, I also want to thank them for their fabulous support. As I travel around the country scouting, it's tough for me to pull it together. My wife, myself, my son, Dallas, we have our tough days. We couldn't have done it without you."
At this time next year, though, the Tucson Padres will be no more. This is their last season here. The Triple-A affiliate of the San Diego Padres is slated to move to El Paso, Texas, where a new stadium is being built. That will leave Tucson bereft of baseball, but certainly not this annual memorial game, which will always be a product of the heart.

The Orioles home opener was all you could ask for it to
be. Huge crowd, celebration, and most
importantly, a W.
I got to the park around 11:30 (gates opened at noon) after
taking a midterm exam in the morning and rushing down.
A bunch of friends were already there, waiting first in line
(as expected). Romeo had been there
since who knows when, and with him at this point was (I hope I don't forget
anybody) Zevi, Brittany, Nick, Amanda, Tim, Ben, Stan, and Stan's wife. I think that's it. (Romeo, Zevi, and Brittany got interviewed by
WBAL before I got there, check that out here.
58 second mark. Three quotes,
then you see the initial group of them).
So, I joined them, and the crowd started forming by quarter of noon or
Batting practice was not set to start until 12:25 or so, but
we still ran in at 12 to go see the Orioles stretching down on the field. My first view entering the seating area
(though a bit blurry, taken as I was running):
During this time, I took about 50 photos of the Orioles
stretching and talking. Here are some
Brittany took a picture of me and Zevi talking to Ronnie
when he first came out. He asked me
about my college experiences and some random stuff, then we yelled at him for
not having high socks on, in which he told us that in ST, Mark Hendrickson also
yelled at him for it (and said: "Who ARE you, man?!"). Then Ronnie went off to throw.
Zach Britton sighting (1-blurry first shot of him, 2-talking
with Mike Gonzalez, 3-talking with bullpen coach Rick Adair, 4-talking with
athletic trainer Richie Bancells):
More guys (1-Matt Wieters throwing, 2-Pie, Guerrero,
Izturis, 3-pitchers stretching circle, 4-Adair talking with Matusz and Tillman
with Ronnie on the side (minus high socks)):
And more (1-guys throwing, 2-media by/in the dugout, 3-Mark
Reynolds and DLee throwing, 4-Pie and Jonesy):
Then guys started hitting, so I made my way around the seating
bowl to the left field seats:
As I settled into my usual spot in the aisle for snagging,
Luke Scott tossed a ball towards 3 kids begging (more like shrieking profusely)
for one (arrow pointing at ball in midair):
Guys started off with their bunts and oppo hitting, so I
snapped this quick shot of Buck talking with Tillman and Matusz:
Then guys hit for real.
And I have no more photos from Orioles BP. They were hitting scarcely to the LF seats,
and all of them were landing in clusters of people in 86 and 80. Asking the other guys around I knew, we think
only about 5-10 came in the mid-sections of 82 and 84 during all of this
session. And the 5 or so of us were
spread out, but nobody ended with more than 3 on the day. I got one ball during O's BP, my first of the
season and it was Vlad's first home run into the LF seats (he hit 2 into the
bullpen before it). It was a real blast,
hitting off of the signs on club level and bouncing back down (easily 420+
ft). With guys all running up the
stairs, I watched from mid level, and got it off the rebound.
Then the Orioles went in, and Tigers pitchers came out to
warm up. I headed over there, and lost
out on one ball to Tim who had a Tigers shirt on, so I moved aside and let him
go for it, knowing that the shirt would get him it anyways.
Later, as Brad Thomas was heading in, he responded to my
request for a ball, chucking it in my general direction. (Picture of him throwing before this moment,
#36) Turn your head sideways for this one:
As I gloved the ball, I felt my back being hit at, and a kid
(probably about 12) had hopped on my back, throwing us both into the wall in
front of us. No physical damage done,
and I was more just really confused than annoyed. But when I got back out to left field, I
noticed one thing:
The hit into the wall broke my camera screen. Wonderful.
Whatever. The right side of the
screen sort of still works, so I'll live (at least until I find the money to
buy a new camera). So for the rest of
the day, I had to take pictures mostly guessing that I was getting the picture
taken. They came out pretty well for
having to use this tactic.
I got annoyed when I walked away and saw the kid going back
to his dad. Why did this annoy me? Check out what he was wearing:
Seriously?! God damn.
I left halfway through Tigers BP to wander the concourse and
Eutaw St. to see the festivities and new stuff around, knowing that with the
rush and all, I wanted to be back at the seats by 2:30 for the ceremonies.
New at the ballpark (1-Natty-Boh stand, 2-Natty-Boh Bar,
3-Polock Johnny's, 4-Grille 54):
Oh, and a funny looking band:
So I got back to the seats (in section 86 next to the
bullpen, yes, we actually bought seats there for once) just as Jim Hunter
started the pre-game ceremonies. I took
over 100 pictures of the happenings, so here are just a few to show what it
looked like:
So yeah. Taking the
pictures with a broken camera the rest of the day was difficult. But all is well on the western front.
Otherwise, we stayed in our seats on the bullpen wall for
the rest of the day. With so many
people, it would have been hell to get up to go around, so we stayed put. Don't worry, all season we will be doing all
kinds of random interesting stuff, but today was about chilling at Opening Day.
Here are some shots from the seats I got of both bullpens
and the field (1-Arrieta warming up, 2-Porcello warming up, 3-players on field
for the anthem, 4-Jose Valverde getting annoyed by the hecklers in front of
And more (1-Romeo and some of the crowd, 2-guy on the field,
3-Ronnie and bullpen guys during God Bless America, 4-the outfielders jumping
together when the game ended):
My ticket from the day with my 2 baseballs (left is toss
from Thomas, right is the hit from Vlad):
Oh, and by the way, the Orioles kinda messed up during
pre-game ceremonies on the jumbotron.
See for yourself:
The Orioles won the game 5-1. Jake Arrieta got the W. Brian Roberts hit another home run. Yada yada.
I'm not here to discuss the on field stuff.
A few other videos to check out:
During the game, a guy hopped over the CF wall and onto the
field. He rand around then dropped down
to the ground, got cuffed, and finally taken out. See it here
on Youtube.
And this video
which randomly includes Zevi, Tim, and Ben entering the park at noon.
And I am back at the ballpark for this entire home
stand. Should be interesting.

Plutus IP, a patent assertion company, suffered a major blow last March after a jury found the company shuffling patents between shell companies in order to launch multiple lawsuits against the same target, circumventing a previous do-not-sue covenant.
Now, U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb is mulling over whether or not to force Plutus IP owner Erich Spangenberg to pay DaimlerChrysler's attorneys' fees.
The covenant dates back to 2006, when Plutus settled with car company DaimlerChrysler over a "broadly-worded" patent on software the company uses for sales tracking. Rather than challenge the patent – a battle it was likely to have won – DaimlerChrysler instead opted to settle with Plutus IP for $2.3 million in order to stave off a court battle that would have been far more expensive. As part of the settlement process, Plutus IP entered into an agreement not to sue DaimlerChrysler for the sales technology or any other related patents.
Reports indicate that Plutus then transferred the patents in question to an unknown Plutus affiliate, and proceeded to file three additional suits against DaimlerChrysler, as well as Mercedes-Benz and Toyota, in March 2007. This time, however, DaimlerChrysler chose not to settle, instead countersuing the Plutus affiliates for break of contract. The jury's decision in favor of DaimlerChrysler concluded a three-day trial that found Spangenberg in breach of the March 2006 settlement agreement.
Joe Mullin, author of patent and IP blog The Prior Art and reporter for IP Law & Business magazine, notes that Spangenberg sits at the "heart" of a "massive empire" of patent-holding companies, including Taurus IP, Gemini IP, Caelum IP, Phoenix IP, Orion IP, and Constellation IP, together with his attorney David Pridham.
Mullin reports that his investigation of the case is complicated by the Wisconsin court's unusually high propensity for granting Spangenberg's requests to seal court documents, and the case court docket reports indicate a complicated array of parties on both sides.
Spangenberg could be on the hook for up to $4 million in attorneys' fees, payable to DaimlerChrysler's legal team at Kilpatrick Stockton LLP. Mullin notes that Spangenberg acknowledged having $6 million in the bank of account of one of his "many shell companies," adding that the amount is "surely just a small fraction of his fortune."
"I can't see any justification for this radical action," wrote Mullin. "Federal judges are often too loose in allowing lawyers to seal documents in patent cases, but this is by far the worst I've seen."
While U.S. Judge Barbara Crabb has yet to reach a decision regarding attorneys' fees, the suit underscores a larger political climate of large technology companies turning against firms that hold patents on a "speculative" basis, exercising their patent rights in a court of law without building products of their own.
The highly controversial Patent Reform Act, which ZDNet recently called "dead for 2008," sought to reform abusive patent practices like "forum shopping," or the act of filing patent claims in preferred, patent-friendly venues like the Eastern District of Texas, as well as streamline the infringement complaint process and place caps on damages awards. The bill pitted the computing industry, which is currently plagued by patent-trolling by the likes of firms like Plutus IP and SCO, against the pharmaceutical industry, which says it relies on current practices and awards amounts to protect drug research.

He was obviously someones pet, because in addition to being fixed, he spontaneously stands up on his back legs and give hugs, or drapes himself on a willing shoulder. He has big, yellow eyes and is very gentle. Not a big cat, this guy makes up for it with his big personality. He is very social and interactive, with a relaxed demeanor he is affectionate, loves people, and is very interested in them. He also gets along great with, and will do well in a home with other cats. This terrific little fellow is going to be a great companion; he needs a committed owner who will be a lifelong friend. The shelter also has dogs, big and small, and some adorable kittens all deserving of homes. The shelter is open Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and on alternate Fridays; they will be open this Friday. The adoption fee for pets includes spaying or neutering, vaccination and microchipping. The shelter needs donations of Pedigree or Purina adult dog food, Iams or Purina adult cat food, non-clumping cat litter, and unscented bleach. For more information, call the shelter at 565-4910.

I'm getting a bit tired of NarutoBase. Sensei's take a while to reply to your training threads and trolls start flame wars. I've lost some interest on NarutoBase and I'm currently waiting to buy my Xbox Live membership but I've thought of something that could motivate me and a whole bunch of members. I know this has been posted before but those people didn't really back their suggestion much.
I know we don't have the Kumi added to this update but it was actually helpful for those who would make Gfx shops and for those who wanted to receive Kumi, we even had the Top 50 of the members who had the most Kumi so that would set a goal for a few members also. I'm not sure if Nexus, Versuvio, Zise, and Rei is done talking about bringing Kumi back but it should be because if it's gone for NarutoBase it should be the same for One Piece Bay. If Kumi does arrive again then a shop should be added by the best Gfxers so we can request whatever we want but not just avatars, signatures, and banners. The shop should even have features for our profile, a extra avatar effect, and maybe even a feature added to your name. Look at Tsuchi's name and Lawliet's, they added like sparkles to their name maybe those who deserve it and have gotten the requirements, maybe 1.000.000 Kumi could earn it or so. If this were to happen then this would motivate me a bit more so I can have a smexy name .
Now for Reputation, we should of had something for it a long time ago, it's a bit similar to Kumi but maybe you can have more privileges, IDK maybe like more respect from others such as moderators. I don't have problems with moderators but some say some of them act completely like douches. Reputation should give us more choices for RP, maybe like 2 custom weapons? If there isn't really a benefit for high reputation or low then might as well take it off too, For those who have a high reputation like 6000+ then maybe they could play a bigger role in RP or something. It'll be more fun for others.
I have much more suggestions but I think this is enough for now. I'll try to think a bit more to why we should have these features added for us.

Lexus is a luxury automaker owned by Toyota. The company launched in the U.S. in 1989, but until 2005, did not exist in its home country. In Japan, Lexus was marketed under the Toyota name and an equivalent model name. The first concept of the Lexus name was actually "Alexis," but they believed it was too human and removed the "A," while changing the "I" to a "U."
Lexus' most reported problem on RepairPal is associated with rear view mirror discoloration on some Lexus IS250 models.

The move from projection and CRT TVs to LCD and plasma TVs saved home theater lovers lots of space in their homes and the thinner sets looked much more attractive as well. The next big change in HDTV sets will come in the form of OLED TVs.
Sony announced yesterday that it would sell the world's first OLED TV in Japan with a screen size of 11-inches and a price tag of about $1,744 USD. Following Sony's announcement, Toshiba President and CEO Atsutoshi Nishida announced today that Toshiba was going to have its own 30-inch OLED TV on the market by 2009.
Nishida is quoted by TechOn as saying Toshiba previously projected its OLED TVs to reach the market in "2015 to 2016." Toshiba is also reportedly getting both high-end and commodity OLED TVs ready for consumers.
Part of the problem that makes OLED technology currently expensive and the lead-time for larger OLED TV screen sizes longer is the immaturity of the method for producing OLED panels. Current OLED panels are difficult to manufacture and degrade over time with a lifespan of only 30,000 hours according to PC World. The average LCD TV has a lifespan of around 50,000 hours.
The benefits of OLED technology in TVs are thinner screens and higher contrast ratios along with faster response times. OLED technology requires no backlighting, which allows for the much thinner cabinet sizes.
Toshiba was strongly backing SED TVs in 2006 with units promised within a year from CES 2006. A few months after CES 2006 was over, Toshiba and Canon pushed SED TVs back to 2007. By CES 2007 SED TVs were all but dead due in part to a lawsuit between Canon and Nano-Proprietary, which forced Toshiba to pull out of the SED development with Canon.
Hopefully, Toshiba will be able to deliver on its promises this time with OLED TVs that actually make it to market.

So instead of moving Bargs to the bench in favor of Ed or Amir, they're gonna plop JV's ass on the bench.
I don't get it, man. This season just can't get any worse... or can it? Yea, I'm sure it can too.
And obviously this is not a knock on Amir, but maybe we should try the defensive approach first by pairing JV with Ed or Amir, instead of keeping #7's usless ass out there.

Tech Credit Union has joined seven banks to fund an effort to build affordable, multifamily housing in the region known for high home prices.
The 70,000-member $1.7 billion San Jose, Calif.-based credit union will provide money to the Housing Trust Silicon Valley, a $9 million self-sustaining effort that provides low-cost loans to developers who commit to building affordable multifamily housing in the San Francisco Bay area.
Tech CU is the only credit union to join the effort and said it is the only credit union in the country helping to fund similar work.
"Many in the Bay Area are challenged by the region's higher-than-average housing costs," said Tech CU CEO Barbara Kamm. "We're committed to supporting our members by offering low rates on mortgage and home equity loans, as well as lower fees. In addition, we support increasing the amount of affordable housing in the area, which is why we're partnering with the Housing Trust Silicon Valley."
Seven Bay Area banks have also invested, including Bridge Bank, East West Bank, First Bank, Heritage Bank of Commerce, Manufacturers Bank, One Pacific Coast Bank, and Silicon Valley Bank.
"We need financial partners like Tech CU to help make these kinds of initiatives possible," said Kevin Zwick, CEO of the Housing Trust, "The multifamily lending program will be the catalyst to help jump-start projects by providing critical predevelopment and acquisition financing towards the creation or renovation of affordable multifamily rentals in Santa Clara, San Mateo, San Francisco and Alameda counties."

You have a unique medical history. Therefore, it is essential to talk with your doctor or healthcare provider about your personal risk factors and/or experience with cataracts. By talking openly and regularly with your healthcare provider, you can take an active role in your care.
Here are some tips that will make it easier for you to talk to your healthcare provider:
- Bring someone else with you. It helps to have another person hear what is said and ask questions you may not have thought of.
- Write out your questions ahead of time, so you don't forget them.
- Write down the answers you get, and make sure you understand what you are hearing. Ask for clarification, if necessary.
- Don't be afraid to ask questions or ask where you can find more information about what you are discussing. You have a right to know.
- How do I know if I have a cataract?
- Are there specific factors that put me at greater risk of getting cataracts that I can change?
- How often should I have my eyes examined for cataracts or other eye problems?
- If I develop a cataract in one eye, does that mean I will develop a cataract in the other eye?
- If I develop cataracts, should I have surgery immediately?
- Are there any steps I can take to control the symptoms of cataracts?
- What measures can I take to help prevent developing cataracts or making them worse?
- What measures should I take after cataract surgery?
- Will eye surgery return my vision to normal?
- Is my cataract surgery an emergency?
- What is the success rate for cataract surgery?
- How much experience do you have with this procedure?
- How soon after surgery will I be able to see well enough to go back to work? Drive a car? Return to full activity?
- Do you recommend I have surgery now, or can I wait?
- What type of intraocular lens is best for me?

Ogando in rotation, while Ross aims to join him
Left-hander to compete with several hurlers for club's fifth-starter role
By T.R. Sullivan / MLB.com
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Pitcher Robbie Ross showed up to the Rangers' complex on Sunday sporting a full beard.
"It started when we were doing beards in the bullpen last year," Ross said. "I just kind of left it there, although I've thinned it out here and there."
The new look could go with a new job. When the Rangers officially open camp later this week, Ross will be one of at least a half-dozen candidates for the fifth-starter spot. He was a starter in the Minor Leagues before making the team as its left-handed setup reliever as a rookie last spring.
"I guess so," Ross said. "We'll see what happens. I'll just try to do the best I can and see what happens. I just need to be consistent ... pound the strike zone. They're looking for someone to get outs and get the game going. I'll do the best I can."
Ross, who was 6-0 with a 2.22 ERA in 58 appearances last season, is trying to make the same transition that Alexi Ogando did in 2011. Ogando was a setup reliever for Texas in 2010, then went into the rotation and was 13-8 with a 3.51 ERA the following season while making the All-Star team.
Ogando went back to the bullpen in 2012, but the Rangers have decided to put him in the rotation again. Ogando, who was also at the complex on Sunday, was thrilled with the news when club officials told him this offseason. He is planning on this being the end of the annual switch.
"This is what I want," Ogando said. "For me, starting is easier. You have four days off and every fifth day you pitch. I like the routine of the starter."
There is one difference between Ogando and Ross. The Rangers have locked Ogando into the rotation along with Matt Harrison, Yu Darvish and Derek Holland. Ross has to win a job while competing against veterans Randy Wells and Kyle McClellan and rookies Martin Perez, Justin Grimm, Nick Tepesch and Cody Buckel.
Perez finished last season as Texas' fifth starter, but there is no clear-cut favorite in this competition. Wells and McClellan have the most experience as Major League starters, but are in camp as non-roster invites. Ross admitted that he might be the underdog in the competition, especially if the Rangers need him more in the bullpen.
"I might be a long shot just because I haven't started like Martin or Grimm or the other guys," Ross said. "But I didn't think I would make the team last year as a reliever. I thought I would be here for two-three weeks in camp and then be sent back to Triple-A. I'm just going to come in with the same edge as I did last year, enjoy it and soak it all up."
Ross needs a changeup to complete his repertoire as a starter. He has one, but didn't use it at all last season. He threw his fastball 83.6 percent of the time and almost everything else was a slider. According to STATS Inc., Ross threw just three changeups out of 1,057 pitches last season.
A changeup would also help him against right-handed hitters, although they hit just .237 off him last year. Left-handed hitters batted .225.
"The thing is, I still used it, but I never used it in the game," Ross said. "I used it when I would throw with Joe Nathan in the bullpen. I didn't use it in the games, but so far in the bullpens that I have thrown lately, I think I have been getting a feel for it again."
Ogando is also trying to rediscover his changeup. He used it on occasion as a starter in 2011, but rarely as a reliever this past season. He threw just 11 changeups out of his 1,040 pitches. He threw his fastball 63.8 percent of the time, and the rest were sliders.
Ogando can dominate any hitter, but left-handers have hit .249 with a .395 slugging percentage against him in his three-year career, while right-handed hitters are batting .195 with a .293 slugging percentage. The changeup can help him against both.
"I got away from the changeup, but I worked on it a lot," Ogando said.
He will get more work this spring. Ogando was asked to pitch for the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic, but declined the invitation.
"It was hard because I wanted to pitch," Ogando said. "But I've got an opportunity to be a starter here. I want to work at that."
Rangers pitchers and catchers don't officially report until Tuesday with the first workout scheduled for Wednesday. But Ross and Ogando are among at least a dozen pitchers already in camp. Ross did some light throwing on Sunday and has had "six-seven" sessions off a mound before coming to Arizona. Ogando has been throwing in the Dominican and went off a mound for the first time on Wednesday.
Both have a chance to fill out the back end of the rotation and don't want to waste the opportunity.

Survey: Members Delay Major Purchases
Major purchases that correspond with major life events are being delayed by 18- to 34-year-old credit union members, according to a new survey released Monday by TruStage, the consumer brand division of CUNA Mutual Group of Madison. Wis.
The survey asked 1,600 credit union members about major financial life events they face in 2013. The survey focused on the financial decisions members made regarding vehicle purchases, home buying, the birth of a child and planning for college and weddings.
The survey uncovered several revealing generational trends when it comes to making major life purchases and decisions, including:
• Generation Y (18–34 year-olds), typically the most connected and tech-savvy demographic, takes 18 days longer, on average, to shop for a car than those 45–54.
• People are dating much longer now before getting married, which delays
wedding-related purchases and big life events like buying a home or a car.
•18-44 year-olds have underestimated how long it will take to graduate from
college, despite rapidly increasing tuition costs and student loan debt.
• Retirements are taking longer to reach. For those planning retirement, the expected retirement age is nearly 64 years. For those already retired, the average retirement age was 59 years.
"When we took a deeper look at the survey results, we were surprised to see that it's taking longer to make major financial decisions and purchases," explained Alan Bergstorm, brand and creative services coordinator for TruStage. "Given the nature of our fast-paced culture, we anticipated those decisions to happen faster, but the results show many people are actually slowing down and taking more time to plan and decide."
Bergstorm said the survey uncovered that 18- to 44-year-olds attending college at least one full semester longer than they had planned. Consequently, the big moments usually associated with post-graduation–the car buying, weddings and home buying–are delayed.
The survey also found 18–34 year-olds are planning to retire at a significantly older age than preceding generations. But 71% of this group is planning for retirement substantially earlier in life–starting on average at age 24.
"This presents an opportunity, as our survey indicated, (because) this generation considers credit unions to be one of several 'trusted sources' for help in planning retirement," Bergstrom said.
Based on this survey, Bergstrom believes credit unions should be asking important questions such as what does this information mean for credit unions? How are economic, social or cultural factors affecting decisions and life event plans? What role does instant access to information and mobile technology play in the decision-making process?
"When we learn about members' mindsets and behaviors and how they continue to change, we can apply that knowledge to member connections and relationships," he said.

Earlier this year Rambus won a staggering $307M USD
civil award against Hynix claiming the company infringed on its
intellectual property. Specifically, Rambus claimed that Hynix used
techniques for producing memory that were proprietary to Rambus. On
Friday morning, Judge Ronald Whyte of Northern District of California overturned
this award (PDF).
The latest statement from the court claimed "For the reasons set forth
below, plaintiffs' motion for a new trial on the issue of damages is GRANTED
unless Rambus files notice with the court within thirty (30) days of this order
accepting remittitur of the jury award to $133,584,129 for damages through
December 31, 2005."
The focal point for this overturn is due to discrepancies
of the actual amount of DRAM sales during the time period Hynix infringed on
Rambus IP. Rambus at this point may either accept the lesser award of
$133.6M USD or begin a new trial against Hynix.
Despite the interconnections between Hynix and Rambus, this slew of IP lawsuits
are not related to the price fixing sentencing from earlier this year where four Hynix executives were
given jail time. Within the past year every major DRAM manufacturer
has faced litigation from Rambus, with the exception of the company's primary
manufacturing partner Samsung. Rambus has also filed suits claiming that
all of the major DRAM providers artificially manipulated pricing on DRAM to hurt RDRAM
sales -- with fairly damning evidence on
the company website (PDF) -- again with the exception of Samsung. On
Friday 34 states filed anti-trust suits against most major DRAM providers claiming the companies
colluded to artificially inflate memory pricing, which is illegal in the US.
Once again, Samsung was absent from this volley of litigation as well.
More can be seen from the official Rambus Litigation Update
page. The company currently has twelve outstanding major cases to

of Apple's Mac computers often point to the machines' relatively high
price of entry and small market share when looking at the overall PC
market (Microsoft still dominates thanks to a plethora of
Windows-based machines). However, when compared to other PC
manufacturers, Apple
is doing quite well (at least in the United States).
statistics from IDC show that Apple has now moved into third
place for PC shipments in the U.S. Apple's shipments grew a whopping
24 percent for Q3, which gave Apple 10.6 percent of the market.
Dell's shipments actually dropped 4.9 percent giving it a 23.1
percent share of the market, while HP's shipments increased 2.7
percent to give it 24.3 percent of the market and first place
and Toshiba took fourth place and fifth place respectively.
though HP and Dell each more than double Apple's U.S. market share,
Apple has the high-end covered. Apple owns
over 91 percent of the $1,000+ PC market which has helped to fuel
its record
revenue growth.
influence on the PC market continues to grow, particularly in the
U.S., as the company's iPad has had some negative impact on the
mini-notebook market. But, the halo effect of the device also helped
propel Mac sales and moved the company into the number three position
in the U.S. market," said Bob O'Donnell, IDC's vice president
for Clients and Displays.
it comes to global sales, Apple doesn't even register in the top six.
For Q3, the top global players were HP followed by Acer, Dell,
Lenovo, ASUS and Toshiba.
a sluggish start, the quarter ended with a good rally in September
which could be a good prelude for what is ahead," said IDC
research analyst Jay Chou. "Lower PC component costs, budding
excitement around new media-centric form factors and continued
business buying should still make for a competitive holiday season."

The Lake Forest College chapter of the national neuroscience honorary Nu Rho Psi presented the 2014 Evolution, Brain, and Disease Symposium on Saturday, April 26.
Students in the first-year studies class Medical Mysteries of the Mind recently traveled to Northwestern Medical School's Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer's Disease Center, where they learned about human brain pathology at the school's Brain Bank and discussed the molecular events with scientists in the Neuroscience Graduate Program.
Every other year, secondary school children (twelve and thirteen year olds) from the Forest Bluff Montessori School visit the college to learn about how the human brain works. Each student has completed his/her own research project on a neuroscience topic and participates in a broad ranging discussion about our amazing brain.
BIO130 Deadly Shapes, Hostage Brainsstudents teach twenty-five fourth and fifth graders from two North Chicago elementary schools the main three functions of our amazing brain: how we sense, integrate and act. This project was an innovative alternative to a traditional final exam in this course.

Laryngoscopy is the visual exam of the voice box, also called the larynx, and the vocal cords. It can be done as:
- Indirect laryngoscopy—uses mirrors to examine the larynx and hypopharynx, which is a portion of the passageway to the lungs and stomach
- Direct laryngoscopy—uses a special instrument, most often a flexible scope
Both procedures are usually done in the office.
Reasons for Procedure
Laryngoscopy is used to examine and diagnose problems inside the throat. It is most often done to:
- Assist in intubation to help with breathing for surgery or serious illness
- Diagnose the cause of a persistent cough, bloody cough, hoarseness, throat pain, or bad breath
- Evaluate reasons for difficulty swallowing or breathing
- Evaluate a possible cause for persistent earache
- Remove a foreign object
- Visualize a mass in the throat
- Biopsy tissue inside the throat
- Remove polyps inside the throat
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
- Pain
- Vomiting and gagging
- Excessive swelling or bleeding
- Cuts on the bottom of the tongue from stretching it over the teeth
- Bleeding from the nose if the scope is passed through the nose
- Anesthesia-related problems
- Breathing problems from swelling
- Infection
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
After a physical exam, you may have the following imaging tests:
Leading up to your procedure:
- Arrange for a ride to and from the procedure if a general anesthetic or sedation is given.
- If you will have general anesthesia, you will probably be told not to eat or drink anything for 8 hours before the exam. For office procedures under local anesthesia, there is no need to fast.
Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to 1 week before the procedure.
Local or general anesthesia may be used for a laryngoscopy. Local anesthesia will numb the throat. With general anesthesia, you will be asleep.
Description of the Procedure
During either type of laryngoscopy, photographs may be taken.
You will sit up straight in a high-back chair. A headrest will push your head and jaw forward. The anesthesia will be sprayed into your throat. Your tongue will be covered with gauze and held by the doctor. You will then need to breathe through your mouth as if panting. A warm mirror will be held at the back of the throat. The doctor will ask you to make a specific sound and watch the larynx. If there is a foreign object, such as a chicken bone, it can be removed.
The direct method is most often done after the indirect method. The direct method will allow the doctor to see a greater area. The direct method may also be used if your gag reflex did not allow a thorough exam using the indirect method. A special scope will be inserted through your nose or mouth and into your throat. The larynx will be examined through an eyepiece on the scope or a camera and screen. The doctor may then collect specimens, remove growths, or retrieve a foreign object trapped in the throat. This method is often done in the operating room under general anesthesia or in the office under local anesthesia.
How Long Will It Take?
An indirect laryngoscopy only takes a few minutes. A direct laryngoscopy takes about 5–45 minutes, depending on the problem.
Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia will prevent pain during the procedure. With a direct method, you may have a sore throat for a few days if a biopsy was done.
Postoperative Care
If any tissue was removed, it will be sent to be examined.
Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions, which may include:
- If a biopsy was taken, avoid clearing your throat or coughing.
- Follow your doctor's instructions.
The doctor may discuss the results and treatment options or refer you to a specialist. Biopsy results may take about 3-5 days.
Call Your Doctor
It is important for you to monitor your recovery after you leave the care center. Alert your doctor to any problems right away. If any of the following occur, call your doctor:
- Increasing pain
- Coughing up, spitting out, or vomiting blood
- Difficulty breathing or swallowing
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Hoarse voice
- Cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, or severe nausea or vomiting
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

U.S Gov't: "Give Us Your Data, It's For Security"; Google: "Buzz Off!"
Jason Mick
April 5, 2013 3:33 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
One of America's top electronics corporations goes head to head with the feds over information privacy
The National Security Letter (NSL) is a tool used by the
U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigations
to avoid the "burden" of due process, directly seizing private citizen data from corporations
without warrant
. With the
(Uniting (and) Strengthening America (by) Providing Appropriate Tools Required (to) Intercept (and) Obstruct Terrorism) Act use of the NSL has exploded, as the FBI has increasingly used the technique to seize digital information such as
browsing history and phone records
I. We Aren't Gonna Take It
Usually when a company gets an NSL, they just bend over and take it. While it's illegal to even talk about NSLs, at least one company did publicize that it received one, complaining about how abusive the process is. Four out of five companies reportedly privately challenged one of the 300,000 NSLs sent since 2000, but most of these internal pleas to FBI higher-ups fell on deaf ears.
NSLs come with a permanent ban on free speech. Unless a company or individual files a petition to remove the gag order surrounding the NSL, to talk about it publicly is a federal crime.
But something new is afoot. A company has for the first time
publicly refused
to bend over and take it, openly acknowledging the information demand (in a clever manner) and challenging its legality.
Google has become the highest profile player yet to publicly challenge an NSL.
[Image Source: Google Images/Unknown]
When the FBI approached Google Inc. (
), the world's largest smartphone operating system maker and search engine provider, Google refused to turn over its customers' private data. Instead it took the less travelled path, filing a challenge in the local federal court, the
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California
's San Francisco office.
What it did next was more unusual. It filed a petition to seal its previous request, which was revealed to be a request to set aside a "legal process" pursuant "to 18
U.S.C. Section 3511 (a) and (b)
". Section (a) of that federal law allows recipients of an NSL to file to have it overturned if it is deemed "unreasonable, oppressive or otherwise unlawful"; Section (b) allows the recipient to ask to have the gag order removed.
Until several years ago, Section (b) was not in effect. However, a challenge to the blanket gag order provision by the Library Connection to a 2005 NSL over library patron data forced Congress to provide an appeals mechanism after a federal judge ruled such airtight gag orders to be unconstitutional.
FBI agents can issue NSLs with little supervision, and it's illegal to talk about the warrantless seizures of citizen data. [Image Source: Alamy]
The request to seal the challenge is clever. While under
18 U.S.C. Section 2709
it's illegal for the recipient of the NSL to directly reveal that it received the letter, by issuing a filing to seal its challenge (which is typically automatically sealed) Google cleverly circumvents the disclosure prohibition.
Kevan Fornasero, Google's lawyer writes:
[Petitions] filed under Section 3511 of Title 18 to set aside legal process issued under Section 2709 of Title 18 must be filed under seal because Section 2709 prohibits disclosure of the legal process.
In other words, the wink-wink, nod-nod response from Google is, "We can't tell you or not whether we received an NSL, but be sure to seal that petition related to challenging an NSL."
II. Federal Judge: NSLs are Unconstitutional
It's a clever tactic to say the least.
And it's one that's likely inspired by
Federal Judge Susan Illston
, who recently ruled in the San Francisco court that NSLs were unconstitutional, and hence illegal. In her ruling she cited the
First Amendment of the Constitution
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
...and argued that NSLs also violate separation of powers, by granting unchecked authority to the executive branch (who overseas law enforcement agencies). In her ruling she also ruled the system of challenging the gag orders was unconstitutional, as it was loaded with exemptions that could once more preempt any sort of due process challenge.
NSL Order
This is the
second time NSLs have been ruled unconstitutional
; previously in 2007 a federal
Judge Victor Marrera
of the
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York
. In that case the
2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
dismissed the ruling, saying that the issues were moot in the case in question, although circuit judge
Judge Richard Cardamone
warned that the gag orders could serve as a cover for misconduct.
Matt Zimmerman, senior staff attorney for the
Electronic Frontier Foundation
, who filed the challenge on behalf of an unnamed telecom who received the order in 2009 states, "We are very pleased that the Court recognized the fatal constitutional shortcomings of the NSL statute. The government's gags have truncated the public debate on these controversial surveillance tools. Our client looks forward to the day when it can publicly discuss its experience."
The EFF stepped into the debate after the federal government filed a secret sealed lawsuit against the company in question. While the law technically permits challenges to NSLs, the feds argued that challenges should not be allowed in all cases, and that the company in question should be punished for its insubordination.
Mr. Zimmerman
, "It's a huge deal to say you are in violation of federal law having to do with a national security investigation. That is extraordinarily aggressive from my standpoint. They're saying you are violating the law by challenging our authority here."
III. A Long Road to Rebellion Against the NSL
The latest victory comes after the more roundabout confrontation involving the Judge Marrero 2007 ruling. That case involved a small ISP owner Nicholas Merrill successfully removed a gag order during a challenge of an NSL regarding one of his clients.
Mr. Merrill argued customer records were protected information and to request them without warrant was unconstitutional. But that legal hypothesis was never put to the test; the FBI dropped its demand for Mr. Merrill's customer records leaving the question of legality unanswered.
Judge Susan Illston has found NSL unconstitutional, giving the feds 90 days to appeal her ruling.
[Image Source: Jason Doly]
The answer could come in the next 90 days. That's how long Judge Illston stayed her order to give the Obama administration time to appeal the ruling to the, an appeal which will almost surely occur. For the next 90 days NSLs are legal -- but after that until the appeal concludes they are arguably illegal.
Marc Rotenberg, president and executive director of the Washington- based
Electronic Privacy Information Center
, tells
, "We are in this interesting in-between moment in which the government is still able to enforce its authority. I suspect that this filing is an effort to push the issue further."
Google and others are fighting the gag order on NSLs. [Image Source: How to be a Dad]
To date Google has been one of the largest recipients of NSLs. While it can't say exactly how many it's received, legally, it says it's received between 0 and 999, indicating hundreds of requests. It did say over 1,000 customer records were affected by these requests. In a March 2013
Richard Salgado, Google's legal director for law enforcement and information security, thanked FBI agents for "working with us to provide greater insight into the use of NSLs.
II. Gov't: NSLs -- Often Used; Often Abused
Many Americans might be inclined to support ditching warrants in order to fight the shadowy specter of "terror", given that due process could cost precious time and time is often short when preventing attacks.
However, the damage done by taking away the freedom of due process may well be far greater than the freedom taken away by loss of life from a terrorist attack. In a system in which abuse
occur, typically abuses
And abuses
occur when it comes to NSLs -- lots of them.
A government audit found that agents were using their unsupervised NSL powers in abusive, outright illegal ways. Close to 300,000 NSLs have been issued during the Bush and Obama administrations, targetting tends of thousands of U.S. citizens [Image Source: DoJ Reports]
According to a
2007 audit
[PDF] by the
Justice Department Inspector General
, the FBI was found to have had sweeping and
flagrant abuses
ttered among the 200,000 letters issued between 2003 and 2006. The agency overstepped its authority, and in some cases agents misused their unchecked powers of domestic spying.
Even if there's no major push from the top for Orwellian "macroscopic" abuses -- yet -- a major source of these problems is the fact that agents issuing the NSLs often receive little feedback or scrutiny, reportedly from their supervisors. The PATRIOT Act explicitly allowed agents to send NSLs without even telling their supervisor. Thus no one appears to be watching the watchmen.
To make matters worse, the agency appears to have tried to cover up its dirty laundry by underreporting (essentially lying about) the number of NSL issued, in its reports to Congress.
Whistleblowers have told horror stories
regarding abuses from NSLs, wiretaps, and
other warrantless/poorly supervised police tools
Possible motive for these discrepancies was elucidated when the Inspector General found numerous agents to be evading internal agency policies on when the NSL could be issued. In some cases the filings were so inappropriate that the Inspector General characterized them as "illegal". In other words, some filings likely targeted individuals who had committed no crime and were not secretly communicating with foreign criminals.
Some federal agents have reportedly used NSLs to stalk co-workers or exes.
[Image Source: SLC AD]
Of course precise details of these abuses were never published, as the first rule of NSLs is that you don't talk about NSLs. The second rule of NSLs? You don't talk about NSLs. They come with a built-in gag order that prevents public disclosure.
Still, even without the details, the impression of impropriety was an embarrassment to the Bureau. The audit brought promises of change and a crackdown on abuse from the FBI. NSL declined dramatically to less than half of the 2004 levels. However, numbers have once again begun to creep back up, with 24,287 letters (pertaining to 14,000 U.S. residents) issued in 2010 (the data for 2011 has not yet been made publicly available).
Google and the EFF's challenges to the legality of NSLs could restore due process and end this abuse. But it remains to be seen how they will fare in the circuit appeals court, and possibly the U.S. Supreme Court.

Excited to be suiting up tonight! Thanking God for this humbling process and guiding/growing me through.. Go Raps!
He must of gotten tired of seeing the Raps shut down Lin and then watch Lin destroy the Knicks last night. Welcome back to the new and hopefully improved Fields
This is wired we could actually have a full healthy roster by the end of the week.
Wolstat tweeted earlier that Casey said he may not even play b/c the other wings are playing too good. Whose minutes does he take? Pietrus I guess...
YES! We've been missing his off-ball movement, passing, defense, and rebounding. Last couple games have been good with ball-movement, but, before that, we were a one pass, one shot team. Nice to get him back, who will flourish with recent ball-movement.
I honestly hope he starts, although, Pietrus has been really solid.
Twitter: @ReubenJRD NBA, Raptors writer for Daily Hive Vancouver, Toronto.
Found this picture while going through google images. It was posted before anyone knew about his nerve problem. Seems pretty legit
Hope he plays a bit tonight. He still has a shot at being a good player.
"Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival."
That is great news.
Let the debate about his contract begin anew!
wonder who shows up...Fields or Fails...should be interesting
I still believe that Fields will pan out to be a good rotation and glue player
Having said that, Im glad to have him back. If I have one request though, can he please, please, please, please not take T Ross' minutes. Ross hasnt been perfect but has shown some great signs on each end of the floor. He needs to continue to get time. Hopefully LF takes AA's and MP's minutes only (which means one of them is getting the short end of the stick .. but thats fine, because neither is the future of this team, whereas TRoss is.
Ryan Wolstat @WolstatSun
"Nobody's worked harder than Landry Fields, he's been in the gym 24/7 working on range of motion, muscle memory ..." - Casey
Landry Fields can add a serious dynamic to the team we saw against Houston!
But its right to question which wing he would take minutes from. Hopefully Ross shows up, and officially shifts alan anderson and Peitrus to their respect reserve roles.
I would hate to see Ross be the only one to lose minutes for Fields.
The Baltic Beast is unstoppable!
happy for fields. do work, young man.
