Despite recent stumbles, Rangers can still achieve goals in Oakland
ARLINGTON — The Rangers have played this season with a sense of purpose — but not a sense of urgency.
Not since April, anyway, when a 12-2 start provided the propulsion for a summer-long joy ride.
But that sense of urgency hit Sunday with the suddenness of a thunderclap after the Rangers failed on their home turf this week to close the book on this regular season. Another division title and home-field advantage in the American League were both there for the taking — and the Rangers failed to claim them.
Now, the two-time defending American League champion must travel to Oakland for a regular season-ending, three-game series that will determine whether the Rangers open the playoffs as the top seed in the American League, the second seed — or, gasp, a wild-card qualifier.
A disappointing closing homestand, losing four of seven games to division rivals Oakland and Los Angeles, left the Rangers in this predicament.
A whopping 94,802 fans turned out at the Ballpark for the two games Sunday, hoping to see the Rangers claim their third consecutive division title. But an Oakland victory and a doubleheader split with the Angels prevented that.
The Rangers needed to rally from a four-run first-inning deficit in the second game to salvage that split.
The Rangers won all summer because they were the most talented and balanced team in the American League. Now, they have three games left to prove they still are. The Rangers haven't lived in this sort of pressure cooker since last year's playoffs.
For the first time all season, there will be consequences for failure.
That blazing start in April allowed the Rangers to build a stunning 51/2-game lead in the West just 14 games into the season. They took a 61/2-game lead into May.
The Rangers held at least a four-game lead in the division race for 138 days this season. That gave them the luxury and understanding that they could withstand a sweep in any series and still remain in first place.
The Rangers suffered just two such sweeps — a two-gamer against the Royals in May and a three-gamer against the White Sox in July. Both left the Rangers with still-comfortable four-game leads in the West. They never endured a losing streak longer than five games — and then just one of those. When they did lose, they didn't lose for long.
The Rangers have held at least a five-game lead in the West for 83 days this summer and a six-game lead for 17 days. That cushion allowed the Rangers to play on their own terms. This has been a relaxed team.
The Rangers were merely competing with themselves to become the best team they could be — a better team than the editions that represented the American League in the last two World Series.
That provided the sense of purpose — taking care of the unfinished business from the previous two Octobers. The A's and Angels provided mere background chatter this summer.
But now the Rangers head to Oakland in competition with the surprising A's just to become the best team in the West. Oakland sat 13 games behind the Rangers on June 30. Yet here the A's are now — on the doorstep of a division title, just two games back with three to play.
The magic number for the Rangers is two, which means they must win once in Oakland to claim the division. The A's open the series with their ace Jarrod Parker on Monday night.
All that said, the Rangers still have the best record in the American League at 93-66. Everything they hoped to achieve in 2012 is still in front of them: division title, home field, American League pennant and World Series championship.
If there's a button that can be pushed that can return the Rangers to their April form, it's time for Ron Washington to push it. It's October — time for the Rangers to start playing their best baseball of the season.

Police news in brief
Police: Sleeping driver causes crash
WOODFORD -- State Police said a teenage driver who fell asleep at the wheel was involved in a three-vehicle crash on Sunday during icy road conditions.
According to police at 4 p.m. Jordan Mantello, 17, of Troy, N.Y., was driving a Cadillac Deville west on Route 9 when he fell asleep. His car went into the other lane and hit a 2000 Subaru Legacy being driven by Jollene Mahon, 35, of West Dover, Vt. Mahon's vehicle spun around and collided with a 2008 Nissan truck being driven by Richard Setzer, 28, of Bennington. Police said Mahon suffered a possible neck injury. She, Mantello, and two of his passengers were taken to Southwestern Vermont Medical Center in Bennington to evaluation. Each vehicle was heavily damaged and considered totaled. The crash is still being investigated, according to Vermont State Police Trooper Lauren Ronan.

Foul weather leads to crash on Route 9
WOODFORD -- State Police said a New York teen crashed his 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche Sunday afternoon while trying to avoid another vehicle that was sliding on the slippery, sleet-covered road.
Police said the crash happened on Route 9 at 4:30 p.m. The driver, Ryan M. Jones, 17, of Schuylerville, N.Y., and his passenger, Ross Burch, 16, of Greenwich, N.Y., were not injured. Jones left the road when his attempts to stop caused his vehicle to slide, hit an embankment and turn onto its roof.

Father's Day: How the Church Can Help Dads Raise Sons
The church needs to stand in the gap and help ill-equipped men learn how to raise their sons to be proper men, contend ministry leaders ahead of Father's Day.
Only about 1 out of 2 men agree that they are prepared for fatherhood when they first become fathers, found a recent survey titled "Pop's Culture: A National Surveys of Dads' Attitudes on Fathering" by the National Fatherhood Initiative. The figure drops even lower for those who strongly agree that they are prepared for fatherhood – less than 25 percent.
Part of the reason for this lack of confidence among fathers is the absence of a good father-figure, either physically or emotionally, in their lives.
"Unfortunately, I did not experience a rite of passage with my dad," said Every Man Ministries founder and Saddleback Church men's ministry pastor, Kenny Luck. "By default, I was parented by my peers and culture, and experienced several negative rites of passage. My dad was low time, low talk, and low touch. He was very distant and I longed for any kind of connection with him. I settled for rides to the liquor store on occasion, or a ride to the bar as I waited for him in the car."
For the many men like Luck, who want to be good fathers but are not naturally equipped to be so, the church needs to step in and help. Not only can churches teach men to be better fathers, but they can also prepare a generation of boys to grow up and be good dads.
"Church For Men" founder David Murrow said a boys-to-men rite of passage, which can sometime be a 3-day outing for fathers and their sons, should be supported by churches.
"A rite of passage is that moment when a boy is welcomed into the society of men. It usually involves ordeals, tests, and culminates with a ceremony," Murrow said. "The purpose is to humble the young boy to test his limits and see what he could endure. The message is that if you are going to be a man you have to endure."
"Passed Thru Fire" is a ministry started by Rick Bundschuh in Hawaii and is specifically aimed at providing rite of passages for boys. Murrow says the ministry of providing this service, such as the one "Passed Thru Fire" provides, is still in it's infancy, but he has seen some growth in recent years.
"Societies have been creating rites of passages for young men into adulthood for thousands of years, yet in modern western society we have stopped doing this," Murrow said. "As a result, young men are initiating themselves through all sorts of unhealthy and anti-social behaviors.
"We need to give young men an assurance that they have become men and that's why rites of passages are so important. The rite of passages should be the job of the church. Fathers should initiate their sons into manhood," he said. "The men of the church have to see it as their sacred responsibility to introduce the boys into the community of men."
Murrow said that he clearly sees that many young men are not associating Christianity with manhood. "When young men think of manhood they think of drinking, partying, wild living, and how many women they can be with. That's what they see as manly," he said. "They don't see Christianity as manliness. They associate it with childhood and some associate it with womanliness.
"Rite of passages would be one way that we could make sure that young men see their faith as a part of their masculine journey and not as something that feminizes them. So, one of the things that rites of passage will do is re-establish that broken link between manliness and Godliness," Murrow said.
Luck supports the need for rite of passages by pointing to verses in the Bible. He said in a recent interview: "It is the example of Scripture in both the Old and New Testaments for fathers to give their blessing to their sons. The most powerful example is when God the Father blesses and commends God the Son with God the Holy Spirit present in Matthew 3:16-17. It has within it the core elements of a rite of passage that is intended to fortify the son with what he needs to be the man God created him to be. There is a special moment where a special voice speaks into the son; a special name is given along with a special love and a special blessing.
"If God decided Jesus needed this for his journey as a man on earth, I feel a form of this is beneficial for every man to gain the courage and confidence flowing from a strong identity as a passionate son and follower of Christ."

Before I ask my question, yes I have done searches. I've gone through this board, google, MSDN, and still don't know what is happening.
I have part of my code checking to see if the program is in fact getting the file name, and it is not. I know this directory has only files, and no other directories. If I use FindFirstFile("*.*",&ffData) it will always return a directory for dwFileAttributes, and never give me a filename. If I use FindNextFile(".txt",&ffData) or something, it will then give me a file name. Why does "*.*" never return a file name?
Code:_chdir("C:\\aaMyFiles"); //this is further up in the code //from here down is all together if((buffer = _getdcwd(3,lBuffer,MAX_PATH)) == NULL) perror("_getcwd error"); hFind = FindFirstFile("*.*",&ffData); if(ffData.dwFileAttributes != FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY) SetDlgItemText(Hwnd,TESTING,ffData.cFileName); //i never get the file name else if(hFind == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) SetDlgItemText(Hwnd,TESTING,"invalid handle"); //hasn't been a problem yet else if (ffData.dwFileAttributes == FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY) SetDlgItemText(Hwnd,TESTING,buffer); //ALWAYS COMES TO THIS ONE else SetDlgItemText(Hwnd,TESTING,ffData.cFileName); //just in case, but still doesnt show a file name

Report: Microsoft to Release 7-Inch Surface Tablet
Tiffany Kaiser
April 11, 2013 11:49 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
It is expected to go into mass production later this year
Joining the likes of Apple and Google, Microsoft is now also rumored to be making a 7-inch version of its first homemade tablet -- the Surface.
According to a recent report from
, Microsoft is in the midst of creating a whole new batch of Surface tablets, which includes a 7-inch version.
The 7-inch tablet is expected to go into mass production later this year.
Microsoft, which released its first Surface tablet on October 26, 2012, hasn't seen the sales success it expected. Last month, a
source anonymously revealed that Microsoft had sold 1.5 million Surface tablets at that point. More specifically, the company had sold a little over a million Surface with Windows RT tablets (features the Windows RT version of Windows 8 specifically for ARM processors) and about 400,000
Surface with Windows Pro
tablets (features the full version of Windows 8 and an Intel Core i5 processor).
These figures
missed analyst expectations
of about 2 million Surface RT tablets in just the December quarter alone.
Microsoft launched Surface with Windows RT in October and Surface with Windows 8 Pro in February.
Microsoft likely wants to run with the big boys like Apple and Google in the tablet sector, and both have already released 7-inch tablets (which tend to be more affordable for consumers). Google's 7-inch Nexus 7 tablet was a hit at only $200 with a load of impressive features, and Apple released its 7-inch iPad mini for a little over $300 last November.
However, Microsoft may want to steer clear of releasing any more Surface tablets with Windows RT, since the operating system has largely been a bust. RT-powered tablets have dropped significantly in price in some cases due to
lack of consumer demand
, and many hardware makers are looking to just clear the dead weight out of their inventory.
Even analysts believe Windows RT will, at some point, just fade away.
"I think you're seeing discounting based on user demand. I never thought RT was going to be that successful," said Jack Gold, principal analyst at J. Gold Associates. "RT will fade away over time. It's not a full Windows 8 experience. That said, why wouldn't I spend more and get a full Pro version of the device?"
"We basically took a look at this situation and said, this is bullshit." -- Newegg Chief Legal Officer Lee Cheng's take on patent troll Soverain

OCEAN CITY – Many local hardware stores have seen a substantial spike in sales of carbon monoxide (CO) detectors in the last two weeks, and a few of them are reportedly having trouble keeping them on the shelves.
One could deduce a few things from reports from local hardware stores who say they've noticed an increase in their CO detector sales since the recent leak that forced the evacuation of the Americana hotel on 10th Street two weeks ago.
On one hand, town officials look to the report as positive sign that property owners are finally taking notice to the city's 2007 ordinance that requires detectors in all multi-family dwelling units and units with fuel burning equipment.
"It's a good sign, and means that the message is finally starting to get through to people who may have been procrastinating a bit," said Mayor Rick Meehan. "We know the message was delivered, but apparently some didn't pay attention to the message."
On the other hand, one could assume that the recent awareness created by the unfortunate situation at the Americana, which saw three people treated for CO exposure, forced the hotel to shut-down and earn a $10,000 fine for non-compliance of the town's law, has shown that the spike in sales reveals just how many property owners were essentially without a CO detector, and thus, breaking the law.
"I see it as a positive thing rather than a negative one," said Meehan. "Any story like we saw with the Americana sometimes scares people into over-preparing themselves or to just simply make sure they are in compliance. Either way, we want the detectors to be there, so there's a good side to this, no matter how you look at it."
It should also be noted that the spike in CO detector sales have been more on a personal scale, rather than detectors that would be used by larger public facilities like hotels.
"One day we looked and the section for CO detectors was just totally cleaned out," said Leon Howard of Rommel's Ace Hardware on 68th Atreet in Ocean City. "Most of the ones we are selling are the battery powered and plug-in detectors, as opposed to the direct line combination smoke/CO detectors that would be used in bigger buildings."
Howard, who says the detectors retail between $20 and $40, are usually not the ones that would be installed by a contractor in hotels. With that said, however, Howard conceded that it appeared that some were purchased could be used for spaces larger than residential properties.
"Some people when they see something on the news or read about it in the papers, they become more concerned and buy something as a result," said Tim Monroe of Fenwick Trustworthy Hardware. "I think that's why we've probably seen a 15-20 percent increase in sales."
Others in the hardware industry projected the increase to be a bit more than what it actually turned out to be, as in the case of Montego Bay True Value store, which is in an area with a lot of new buildings.
"I thought we would be way up, but we are holding pretty much the same as we always do," said Calvin Aydelotte. "I just don't think any of the owners are here right now, as they are all renting their properties out. So, they'll probably just let it ride until next spring."
Meehan says that the town's goal in this situation has been to "deliver the message and get people to comply with the law" and claims the city has done so by placing notices in semi-annual newsletters and in water, tax and other various bills.
Still, Jim Murphy of Adkins Hardware on 54th Street believes that there are a lot of people, most likely the seasonal residents and transient second homers, who don't know what they need to do to comply.
"I just don't think people realize that it's a law," said Murphy, whose store is reporting an almost 40-percent increase in CO detector sales in the last two weeks. "Some people just don't pay attention to anything until something bad happens."

.fun are no strangers to the airwaves with their popular singles "Some Nights" and "We Are Young." While both tracks are no doubt contenders for the most played song of the year, the band created a list of some of their favorite tracks from 2012.
Including two songs from Minature Tigers as well as P!nk, Muse and Shiny Toy Guns, it's a good start to creating that year end playlist. And, if you need some more music for that holiday party .fun isn't the only artist creating a sharable Spotify list. Listen to Katy Perry's Fall Playlist.

Sounds great
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
The TV's sound quality is so much better with the sound bar. It really fills the room. It's nice to be able to use Bluetooth and USB memory sticks as sources too. Instruction manual has some less than complete information but if you have set up other sound systems this one probably will not be hard. Being a novice, I ended up going to a audio/video forum to get some of my questions answered. Now that I know something about "modern" a/v, the setup seems simple.
Pros: Great sound. Small profile. Multiple sources.
Cons: Instructions not verbose enough for this beginner. Simulated surround sound is a little off sometimes.

1. If you order a drink that's mentioned in a rap song, you're not a real drinker. After Drake mentioned moscato in "Do It Now", a bunch of guys started ordering it in bars. And they had no idea it was a sweet white wine.
2. Not surprisingly, girls who order a Long Island iced tea are looking to get WASTED.
3. If you drink Bud Light, there's a jail cell in your future. The stereotype is that all crimes start with Bud Light. Not Coors, or Miller Lite, or tequila, or whisky or malt liquor. It's always Bud Light.
4. People who order mojitos are full of themselves. This one's probably unfair, but apparently bartenders think that way because it's such a pain in the neck to make a mojito. So if you get one, it's like you want other people to go out of their way for you.
5. A guy who orders a drink with a sexual name like Slippery Nipple or Sex on the Beach is a D-bag. The dead giveaway is how he always tries to make eye contact with the nearest woman when he orders.
6. If you look young and you order Jack Daniels instead of scotch, you're getting carded. Most people discover scotch after they've lived through their partying days, once they've learned how to appreciate good liquor for its own sake.
7. Anyone who orders a great Scotch and drinks it neat is a badass.
8. If you get a Kamikaze, that means you don't know what to order.
9. If you order a shot of Fernet, you're from San Francisco. That's one of those bitter Italian liqueurs that tastes sort of like licorice. For some reason it's just popular there.
10. People who drink appletinis don't like the taste of alcohol.
11. If you order Johnny Walker Blue, you have more money than brains, and you're just trying to show off.
12. If you ask for a White Russian, it means you're naïve. Milk never gets poured at most bars, so the milk in their refrigerators is probably spoiled. Either that, or you're a fan of "The Big Lebowski".
13. If you drink PBR, you don't tip. Probably because you're a hipster.
14. If you try to ask for a Gin Rickey, it means you just read "The Great Gatsby" for the first time.

Carlton: Despite another loss, Texas still has eyes for Cotton Bowl... just don't expect an A&M rematch
MANHATTAN, Kan. — Despite two losses to end the regular season, Texas' likely postseason destination is the AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic.
With a 42-24 win Saturday night over the Longhorns, Kansas State clinched a tie for the Big 12 title and a bid in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. The Wildcats and Oklahoma each finished 8-1 atop the Big 12, but Kansas State holds the head-to-head tiebreaker by virtue of its win in Norman.
"We own Texas," chanted the fans at Bill Snyder Family Stadium after the Wildcats' seventh win over Texas in nine games. At game's end, the fans rushed field to celebrate the title.
Had Texas won, it would have kept alive its long-shot hopes for a BCS at-large bid. Now the Longhorns can only hope that potential BCS-busters Northern Illinois or Boise State don't crack the top 16 and deprive Oklahoma of an at-large BCS bid. In that case, the Sooners would drop to the Cotton Bowl and Texas most likely to the Valero Alamo Bowl.
Even if Texas heads to Arlington, don't expect to see Texas A&M as the opponent. The Capital One Bowl remains the Aggies' likely destination.
Before the game, Cotton Bowl chairman Tommy Bain candidly addressed the possibility of a Texas A&M-Texas meeting.
Asked if people on both sides might have wanted to avoid such an emotionally charged game, Bain responded: "I think the political truth is there's just a lot of people that don't want that matchup."
Bain said he didn't necessarily want the media spending the week before the bowl focusing on the past.
"We'd be hesitant to put that matchup together," Bain said. "But if that's the matchup, that's the matchup. It doesn't look like it's going to happen."
Texas would be the "strongest possibility" for the game, given the Big 12 results earlier Saturday, Bain said.
TCU, which had beaten Texas on Thanksgiving, lost to Oklahoma to finish 7-5. And Oklahoma State fell at Baylor.
"The most compelling team is the University of Texas … just for fandom and television," Bain said.
LSU would the "favorite in the clubhouse" as the SEC representative and already has 20,000 requests for bowl tickets, Bain said.
For a while, Texas provided plenty of suspense despite being entering as an 11-point underdog.
Backup Case McCoy, starting in place of injured David Ash, completed 17 consecutive passes in the first half, one short of the school record held by brother Colt. McCoy-to-Shipley, in this case Jaxon, was again a viable combination.
Texas rediscovered game-breakers like Daje Johnson, Malcolm Brown and even D.J. Monroe, who went 46 yards on a speed sweep in the third quarter to set up a Texas score. It was just Monroe's fifth carry since the Oklahoma State game on Sept. 29.
A 72-yard drive in the second quarter, with McCoy finding Shipley for 14 yards, might have been one of the best moments of Bryan Harsin's two-year Austin stay as play-caller.
Texas even led 10-7 at halftime.
Then Kansas State started clicking like the team that once had the nation's No. 1 ranking and leading Heisman candidate in Collin Klein, who passed for one touchdown and ran for two more.
The Wildcats put together touchdown drives of 75 and 67 yards against the Texas defense in the third quarter.
Then Klein found a wide-open Tyler Lockett for a 55-yard touchdown and a 28-17 lead.
Texas gave away a scoring opportunities. A 9-yard loss by Marquise Goodwin on a reverse resulted in a 40-yard missed field goal attempt by Nick Jordan. Later, after Texas forced a Kansas State punt from the Wildcats' 19, Monroe muffed the punt and Kansas State recovered, essentially ending any comeback hopes.

John Turner, a young man with a chequered past, has been told he has just one year to live. He decides to use his remaining time to search of three very different men he met briefly during the war: a snobbish British pilot, a young corporal accused of murder, and a black G.I. accused of attempted rape. Along the way, Turner learns about forgiveness, tolerance, and second chances, and overcomes his fear of death.
©1947 Nevil Shute (P)2012 Nevil Shute
"Not only a brilliantly fluent storyteller but also an ironic commentator on the world scene." (Harpers & Queen)
"As a novelist, Nevil Shute goes from strength to strength, experimenting, drawing out life as he sees it, and setting it before us in ordered pattern." (Punch)
"Shute is a storyteller of an uncommonly veracious stamp, whose performance is more remarkable that his quiet and refreshing modest airs might suggest." (Times Literary Supplement)
"A good old-fashioned yarn"
I really like Nevil Shute stories.
They are simple, and moral, and have an old-fashioned innocence to them. But they are also extremely 'hooky', and never let you spend even a moment of the book without wondering what will happen next.
This is no exception. It ticks all the Shute boxes, and, if there were pages to turn, it'd be a right old page turner. I suppose the audiobook version is a 'car-park waiter'...
The narrator tell the tale well. Gently paced, and sympathetic to the characters.
A right good read!
"Moving Exploration of"
The Chequer Board is the second of Shute's work I have read. The way he deals with death, and the knowing journey the dying take towards a higher understanding of their mortality is both moving and profound. See On the Beach. Ostensibly a tale of a man with a terminal illness, it is never self indulgent or morose but rather uplifting and somehow life affirming without any hint of cliche. It is a rediscovery of humanity perhaps, of peeling back the banality of everyday existence and revealing what is essential.
It deals very thoughtfully in issues of race too, stripping back prejudice and exposing the fundamental lack of differences between people of different ethnicity. It takes the reader through the superficial, where a black man is simply called nigger (you will hear the word a lot) but ultimately by travelling through this uncomfortable depiction of segregation and knee jerk abhorrence of the other, the reader comes to see the beauty in humanity and its inability to find inferiority when it is colour blind.
Turner is both part of the white world that thinks it is set apart and above others of colour, but also increasing aware that the notion of race is completely abstract and meaningless.
"Dated? Not this one."
I had read the book in print years ago, and was moved by it then. I found it even more moving in Audio. yes, I would listen to it again.
The moment when he tells his wife, normally a remote person, that he does not have long to live and the way she shows her compassion towards him. I love the restrained portrayal of the hero and his wife.
He reads it in a way that fully encompasses and is sympathetic to the period in which the book was set.
I had read only one other Nevile Shute book, ' Town Like Alice', before this one. Now I will definitely listen to others, as they lend themselves so well to Audiobooks.
"Another Treasure By This Author!"
It seems that every book I read by this author is better than the ones before. That's probably not true since I have thoroughly enjoyed all of them, including this gem. So far I have never been disappointed and plan to listen to all that are recorded as audiobooks. Perhaps, if I can ever find time to sit down and actually read a print book, I'll delve into even those that are not.
I am always sorry when I finish a Nevil Shute novel even though I compulsively listen as often and as long as I can which causes me to leave these wonderful characters sooner than I would like. And yet, each tale ends as it must and at the proper time. This one did as well.
What a treasured legacy this author has left, for me at least!
"Another great story.."
Love Nevil Shute! If you want to learn about England in the 30's & 40's, he's your guy.
"a good story"
The story kept me interested all the way. Much better than average. Will listen to more Shute

TUESDAY, March 11, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- People fighting
cancer might have to wait longer to see a cancer specialist in the
coming decades, as demand for treatment outpaces the number of
oncologists entering the workforce, a new report released Tuesday
Demand for cancer treatments is expected to grow by 42 percent
or more by 2025, while the supply of oncologists will only increase
by 28 percent, experts found.
The mismatch between supply and demand could result in a
shortage of nearly 1,500 oncologists by 2025, according to the
American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) report.
People living in rural areas will be hardest hit by the
shortage, the report predicted. Currently, only 3 percent of
oncologists are based in rural areas, even though that's where 20
percent of Americans live.
"We never want to have a cancer patient have to wait to get in to see a cancer physician," said Dr. Richard Schilsky, ASCO's chief medical officer. "Since we're aware of the issue, we are beginning to think about how to mitigate it."
Schilsky said he believes oncologists will need to rely on
primary-care physicians, nurse practitioners and physician
assistants to handle basic cancer treatment and follow-up care as
demand for services grows. "That will leave the oncologists time to
deal with the more complex cancer patients," he explained.
Certain factors will likely combine to increase the number of
patients seeking cancer treatment in coming years, Schilsky said,
The total annual cost of cancer care in the United States is
projected to reach $175 billion by 2020, an increase of 40 percent
from 2010, according to the report.
The ASCO report predicted that there won't be enough cancer
doctors on hand to meet this demand.
One expert not involved with the report agreed that a large gap
in specialists is looming.
"I personally think it's a topic we know is going on in the oncology community, but when you're talking about the big picture of health care these things can get overlooked," said Dr. Janna Andrews, an attending physician in the department of radiation medicine at the North Shore-LIJ Cancer Institute in Lake Success, N.Y.
Andrews said people in rural areas already are feeling the
effects of a shortfall. "You probably see that now in the more
rural areas, where you are diagnosed with cancer and then you find
the closest center to treat you is over two hours away," she
Another issue is that the field has its own aging workforce, the
ASCO report noted.
"About 20 percent of currently practicing oncologists are now approaching the retirement age of 65," Schilsky said. The number of oncologists older than 64 exceeded those under 40 for the first time in 2008, and the gap is expected to widen.
Dr. Steven Paulson, an oncologist and hematologist at Texas
Oncology, a US Oncology Network affiliate in Tyler, Texas, said
some oncology practices are struggling.
"The challenges facing practicing medical oncologists are making it very difficult for small and even medium-sized oncology practices to survive," Paulson said. "Many older physicians will simply retire, worsening the shortages already projected."
And the supply of new graduates is not likely to keep pace with
demand, according to ASCO. As pressure builds, many cancer doctors
are likely to burn out and either reduce their clinical hours or
leave the field altogether, the report suggested.
"Oncology is a very, very demanding specialty where you have to be available 24/7," Schilsky said. "You are dealing with people who face life-threatening illnesses, many of whom will succumb to that illness. There's this work-life balance we have to figure out how to deal with."
Oncologists might be able to help the situation by shifting some
of their simpler cancer treatments to highly trained nurse
practitioners or physician assistants. "Once they are properly
trained, they have the skills to handle uncomplicated cancer
patients," Schilsky said.
Primary-care physicians also can play a role, by taking over the
care of cancer survivors. Oncologists can provide a "survivorship
care plan" that will note the potential long-term side effects of a
patient's cancer treatment, as well as their future cancer
"By leveraging all of the resources in the health care system, we think we can mitigate a lot of this," Schilsky said.
The federal government also can help by steering more money
toward training new oncologists.
Most new doctors require two to three years in an oncology
fellowship before they are ready to practice, and Medicare pays for
the first year of this training in virtually all cancer teaching
programs, Schilsky said.
But Medicare funding for medical training has been ratcheting
down, he said, and that has constrained the number of doctors who
can seek out an oncology fellowship.
"It's limiting the availability of fellowship slots, even for people who are interested in getting that training," Schilsky said.

Righty Bass returns to Padres with new approach
By Corey Brock / MLB.com
PHOENIX -- After squeezing 19 innings out of the bullpen the last three games, the Padres opted to add an arm before Monday's game against the D-backs.
Right-hander Anthony Bass was added to the roster and reliever Brad Brach was optioned to Triple-A Tucson.
"Bass gives us that length we need if something happens," said Padres manager Bud Black.
The Padres needed eight innings from their relievers in Sunday's 15-inning victory over the Cubs. Two days earlier, they needed 8 1/3 innings after Edinson Volquez was hit hard early and didn't finish the first inning against the Cubs. Volquez was designated for assignment the following day.
As for Bass, this is his third stint with the Padres this season. Bass, 25, was on the Opening Day roster but was optioned to Tucson after posting a 4.55 ERA in 18 games. He was 4-6 with a 5.45 ERA in 15 starts with Tucson and was 2-2 with a 2.30 ERA in his last five starts.
"I've been trying to figure things out mechanically, and I've decided to go with what works for me," Bass said. "I've gone back to what got me here in 2011 -- pitching from the third-base side of the rubber -- and I have added more coil to my delivery.
"But mostly it's been having conviction in my pitches. That's something I was lacking."
Bass had a 1.68 ERA in 48 1/3 innings in 2011 and was 2-8 with a 4.73 ERA in 97 innings last season. He can pitch in long and short relief and could certainly make a spot start, if needed.
The Padres have yet to name a starting pitcher for Wednesday's series finale against the D-backs. That pitcher will take the spot of Volquez.
Padres eager to see Fuentes' Majors potential
PHOENIX -- Reymond Fuentes said Monday that he didn't see his promotion to the big leagues coming at all.
"I wasn't really expecting this," he said.
Fuentes, a speedy outfielder, hit .218 with a .301 on-base percentage with Double-A San Antonio last season.
"I wouldn't say 2012 was a lost year, but it was a year of learning," said Fuentes, 22. "I think it opened my eyes."
This season has seen Fuentes -- one of four players the Padres obtained from the Red Sox in the Adrian Gonzalez trade in December of 2010 -- get back on the organization's radar in a big way.
Fuentes was added to the 25-man roster before Monday's game against the D-backs and was in the starting lineup in center field, hitting seventh.
Outfielder Jaff Decker was optioned to Triple-A Tucson after hitting .154 in 13 games with one home run and two RBIs.
Fuentes arrives with some big offensive credentials. He hit a combined .330 with 35 stolen bases and a .413 on-base percentage in 107 games, 93 with San Antonio and, most recently, 14 with Triple-A Tucson.
"This year has been awesome," said the left-handed hitting Fuentes, the cousin of Cardinals' outfielder Carlos Beltran.
Fuentes worked closely with San Antonio hitting coach Jacque Jones on his swing in Spring Training and continued that work into the regular season. Jones, who played 10 seasons in the big leagues, was very impressed with Fuentes.
"It's been just having a plan and using the whole field … opening the field for him and also not wanting to pull everything," Jones said. "We have worked on letting the ball get deeper on him and getting his [right] foot down early, which has given him a better chance to react. He's got the ability to drive the ball to the off-field gap."
Now, he'll get a chance to show what he can do at the Major League level.
"We'll see moving forward … but he'll get his starts," said Padres manager Bud Black. "It got to the point where [general manager Josh Byrnes and assistant general manager A.J. Hinch] felt the time was now to pull the trigger to see what he can do."
Black: Facing D-backs will be 'unique' for Kennedy
PHOENIX -- Pitcher Ian Kennedy doesn't talk with the media the day before he starts, but his manager, Bud Black, had plenty of good things to say about the right-hander on Monday.
Kennedy, who will face his former team, the D-backs, on Tuesday, is 2-1 with a 3.20 ERA in four starts since he was traded to the Padres on July 31 for left-handed reliever Joe Thatcher and Minor League reliever Matt Stites.
Kennedy has allowed two or fewer runs in three of his first four starts with the Padres, and he tossed seven scoreless innings in a victory over the Pirates last week at Petco Park.
Black understands that there will be an emotional component Tuesday when Kennedy faces some of his former teammates, many of them good friends from relationships forged over a four-year period.
"It's going to be emotional for him," Black said. "It's a different feel. I've been there. I think that it's a unique feeling."
Black, who saw a lot of Kennedy from the other side, likes what he's seen in a small sample-size from Kennedy, who is two years removed from winning 21 games with the D-backs.
"We're seeing the pitcher we thought we'd get," Black said.
Short hops
• The Padres still haven't named a starter for Wednesday's game against the D-backs. That spot formerly belonged to Volquez, who was designated for assignment on Saturday. Left-hander Robbie Erlin, currently with Triple-A Tucson, is a potential option. There's a small chance that Bass, who was recalled from Tucson on Monday, could make that start as well.
• Outfielder Kyle Blanks started his Minor League rehabilitation stint Sunday with Triple-A Tucson, going 0-for-3. He could potentially play in Tucson's final eight games of the season, starting Monday. Black said that Blanks could join Double-A San Antonio or Class A Fort Wayne in the playoffs in order to get more at-bats as he comes back from an injury to his left Achilles that has caused him to miss the last 38 games.

Chicago, IL, USA: Over the past 15 years, the Farr 40 class has hosted their World Championships at top sailing venues around the globe. Previously held in the U.S. two times in Miami, Newport and San Francisco, this year the fleet traveled for the first time to Chicago, with racing taking place on Lake Michigan, one of the five fresh water Great Lakes that form part of the boundary of the U.S. and Canada.
This fleet of 40-foot one-designs continues to enjoy close, competitive racing. With 160 boats built since the Farr 40's inception in 1997, the Worlds always attracts formidable competition and the 2012 Chicago edition was no exception: 20 entries from eight countries including the U.S., Australia, Canada, Germany, Italy, Monaco, Turkey and Mexico. The owner/driver rule and limit of professionals on board is a large part of the Farr 40's attraction, as are the boats themselves that continue to provide an exhilarating platform for one-design grand-prix racing. Hosted this year at the Chicago Yacht Club, the docks were filled with several prior Farr 40 World Champions including defending champion, Guido Belgiorno-Nettis on Transfusion (AUS), and three-time winner Jim Richardson, on Barking Mad (USA).
Long-time class stalwarts mixed with some returning to the class, such as Robert Hughes' Heartbreaker (USA), Stuart Townsend's Virago (USA), and Alek Krstajic's, Honour (CAN), as well as first-time Worlds' competitors: the Turkish boats, Asterisk Uno and Provezza 8, and the team of Flojito y Cooperando (on a chartered boat in Chicago), one of six Farr 40s based in Acapulco, Mexico. As well, six boats from the local Chicago-area fleet represented the class well.
On the Water
For many competitors -- some Americans included -- it was their first time in Chicago and the Midwestern city earned high praise for all that it offered both on the water and ashore, including the Chicago Yacht Club's genuine hospitality.
Lake Michigan provided a changeable playing field with a range of conditions for the four race days. The lake, which measures 300 miles long by 118 miles wide, has a maximum depth of 925 feet, that 'shoals' up to 35 feet at the southern end, near Chicago.
Monday, the first race day, started off with 8-10 knot southwesterly winds. Principal Race Officer Peter Reggio and the CYC race committee exhibited extreme patience and persistence given the light and shifty conditions, postponing for nearly two hours, and moving the start line several times before finding stable breeze to get off two races.
Showing impeccable timing befitting the defending world champion, Guido Belgiorno-Nettis' Transfusion, with Australian 49er Olympic gold medalist Nathan Outteridge as tactician, took the first win in race one and with a fourth in race two, were on top of the leader board after the first day of racing. Alberto Rossi's Enfant Terrible (ITA) showed consistency with two thirds to trail by a point.
After the passing of a strong frontal system Monday night, on day two competitors woke to a brisk northerly wind at 22+ knots with gusts close to 30, big seas, and blue skies with distinct cumulus clouds scudding quickly southward…a significant change from the prior day's conditions. The race committee ran three windward-leeward races, sending the boats twice around on a six nautical mile course.
The conditions were a proper test for a world championship: the 'big seas' were in fact 6 - 12 footers created with the northerly breeze blowing along a lake with 300 miles of fetch. The emphasis would be on crew work that was nearly flawless, as the sea state and breeze would punish any ill-timed or botched maneuvers. Wolfgang Schaefer's Struntje Light (GER) took a bullet in race three, followed it with a 21 (after an early start under a Z-flag gave them a 20% scoring penalty), and then came in second in race five. But, following the pattern of the first day, consistency paid off for Helmut Jahn's Flash Gordon 6 (USA) which posted a 3-6-3 and moved to the top of the standings, with five race scores all in single digits, and none higher than a sixth place.
The third race day featured even more breeze: a northwesterly backing to the southwest at around 18-20 knots, with gusts to 32. While the seas had flattened out somewhat from the prior day, the gusts were treacherous for some, with several spinnakers shredded and boats broaching on the downwind legs. It was not the case, however, for Struntje Light, which seemed to revel in the conditions, going 1-2 to finish the day in third place overall. With the breeze up to 25 - 35 knots by the end of the second race, the Race Committee elected to call racing for the penultimate day of the series.
Going into the last race day, Flash Gordon led Transfusion, followed by four teams -Struntje Light, Enfant Terrible, Groovederci (USA), Plenty (USA) - within three points of each other in third to sixth place, providing a high chance for a leader board reshuffle.
The final day of racing started off with 12-15 knot westerlies. While the race committee's plan had been to run three races to reach the ten-race maximum, the breeze proved shifty enough to cause several postponements, resulting in two races contested for the day.
Flash Gordon 6 maintained a comfortable lead going into the last day, ten points ahead of Transfusion. Capitalizing on their steady performance, Flash Gordon 6 safely finished 6-7 for the day, while behind them a win by Enfant Terrible allowed the Italians to slide by Transfusion to capture second place by one point.
The winner of the world championship, Helmut Jahn's Flash Gordon 6, finished on 41 points after nine races, ten points ahead of the second placed boat, Alberto Rossi's Enfant Terrible. Flash Gordon 6's win was notable for their single digit score line: 2-6-3-6-3-5-3-6-7.
Timing is Everything
This was Bill Hardesty's eighth Rolex Farr 40 Worlds, his fifth consecutive as tactician on Flash Gordon. As for timing, the first right call the team would make would be training at the venue. Hardesty said, "We got here (Chicago) ten days early. No one else was here. It was windy, it was difficult, but worth it."
The game plan on Flash was to be consistent. Hardesty said, "I told the team 'the best worst race is what's going to win this thing. We're going to make this as boring as possible, we're going to chip away at it and not win anything, and try to win the overall'. Amazingly it worked for us, there usually always seems to be a bad race here or there that can get you, but we were able to avoid it."
Hardesty had kudos for owner Helmut Jahn, "Helmut's ultra committed to the whole sport, serious as can be, he doesn't put up with anyone not giving 100 percent. Everyone performs well because he's a joy to work with."
Flash Gordon himself
All of Helmut Jahn's boats have been named Flash Gordon after the moniker was given to the architect following his postmodern design of the State of Illinois Center in the mid-1980s. Jahn came to Chicago in 1966 for graduate studies at the Illinois Institute of Technology. His plan was to stay for a year, and 46 years later, he's still there. Chicago struck a chord with him, "the city is very open, made out of natural elements, like the lake," he explained, "It's small, easy to get around and I felt very comfortable with the people." At that point it was also the capital of architecture, Mies van der Rohe was still alive, and Jahn said, "I met some of the best architects and engineers that existed".
It was also around that time that the up-and-coming architect developed a love of sailing, joining a friend on his Lightning on Lake Michigan, and then quickly moving up: he had Bruce Farr design a 39 foot boat, followed by a 43-footer. With a move to a Farr 49, Flash Gordon 3, Jahn campaigned as part of the U.S. team in the 1997 Admiral's Cup and won.
Soon after, tired of the modifications needed to stay competitive in that class, Jahn bought a Farr 40. It would be the first of three he would own, as he settled into a class with a camaraderie he enjoyed - as well as the opportunity to sail with his son, Evan, who is his co-helmsman.
About the class, Jahn said, "It's a great group of people, we still like each other, we don't destroy each other like we did in the beginning! We are all competitors and we also have a friendship. There's not this vicious will for achieving something at someone else's cost."
That's a Wrap
On Thursday evening, the Rolex Farr 40 awards presentation was held at the River East Art Center, a restored warehouse built in 1905 on the north bank of the Chicago River. Two hundred competitors, race committee members, friends and family enjoyed the prize giving celebration, where the Rolex Farr 40 World Championship trophy and a Rolex Yacht-Master timepiece were presented to hometown heroes, Helmut Jahn and his crew on Flash Gordon 6. The 2013 Rolex Farr 40 World Championship will take place in Newport in late August.

WASHINGTON — First lady Michelle Obama is highlighting Mississippi's progress toward reducing childhood obesity.
At an appearance Wednesday to celebrate the third anniversary of her own effort against childhood obesity, the first lady said Mississippi is inspiring other states and communities across the country.
She is citing new research showing a more than 13 percent decline in obesity rates among Mississippi's elementary school students between 2005 and 2011.
Mississippi has been known for having the nation's highest obesity rates.
Mrs. Obama also notes the changes put in place by Mississippi's Legislature, its state Board of Education and individual school districts.
She says that other states, communities and school districts should follow Mississippi's example.

Minnesota has a well-documented shortage of psychiatrists, particularly those who treat children. Some of the reasons for the shortage are the many years of additional medical training that the profession requires and that the profession doesn't pay as well as other specialties.
Colleen Reitan, president and COO of BlueCross-BlueShield says this new reimbursement plan should make the profession more attractive financially.
"You can imagine a 20 percent increase each of the next three years means whatever people are getting, three years from now it's going be 60-percent greater," she says.
BlueCross's payment plan also changes the way that psychiatrists get paid. The insurer will now pay for time that psychiatrists spend on phone and e-mail consultations with primary care doctors, who are often overwhelmed by patients with mental health problems. Reitan says that idea came directly from psychiatrists.
"What we heard was, 'We could consult with a pediatrician as they are doing the frontline work of managing kids with attention deficit disorder. Can the reimbursement system, health plans for example, acknowledge that that's a good use of our time and resource and can we be paid for that?'"
While the payment plan applies to all psychiatrists who work with BlueCross, Reitan says it will likely generate the biggest salary increases for psychiatrists who practice independently or in community health centers. That's because the increase is tied to the health plan's general reimbursement rate for those types of organizations.
Whatever (psychiatrists) are getting, three years from now it's going be 60-percent greater.Colleen Reitan, President and COO of Blue Cross-Blue Shield
Psychiatrists who work for bigger employers like Park Nicollet, Allina or Mayo Clinic already receive higher payments for their services, so Reitan says they probably won't see much of a change.
Still, Reitan predicts the increased pay will apply to enough psychiatrists to make a difference. She estimates that 50 to 60 percent of mental health care in Minnesota is delivered by independent and small group psychiatrists.
The president of the Minnesota Psychiatric Society, Eric Larson, welcomes the Blue Cross plan. "I am happy for any kind of increase in reimbursement for psychiatry and mental health care, really all of mental health care, because of the tremendous reduction in funding over the past 20 years," he says.
Larson says there's still a lot of work that needs to be done to improve Minnesota's mental health system. But he says this change is a good first step.
"This will make it easier for people to take the time they need to take to really do good work," Larson says. Minnesota's other big health plans say they already have made significant changes in mental health reimbursement.
Medica spokesman Larry Bussey says his company has boosted psychiatrist pay by almost 30 percent since 2003. Bussey says Medica hasn't decided on future reimbursement increases yet. But he says the health plan does not view Blue Cross's decision as a challenge it must match.
"I think that all of us are looking at trying to provide a good and fair level of reimbursement," he says. "We've been working on it for a couple of years. We're going to keep working on it. And obviously we're glad that BlueCross is as well."
At HealthPartners, Vice President Andrea Walsh says her company also has increased its psychiatrist reimbursement rate in the past two years. She didn't want to discuss the specifics of the increase. But Walsh says psychiatric pay is just one part of HealthPartners' plan.
"What I can tell you is, we recognized and continue to recognize that there's been a shortage in psychiatry and that psychiatry payment rates were inadequate to cover the cost of providing services. So we believe we've addressed that issue and we've looked at it pretty holistically."
Walsh says HealthPartners has been working on increasing the number of mental health service providers to care for people after they've been discharged from the hospital. She says the health plan is tackling access problems at regional treatment centers, too.
For its part, Blue Cross-Blue Shield says it's not worried about extra costs associated with its new reimbursement plan. It says the plan should make the state's mental health system more efficient which will save money in the long-run.

WASHINGTON (AP) - More than 47 million Americans who receive food stamps will see their benefits go down starting Friday, just as Congress begins negotiations on further cuts.
Beginning in November, a temporary benefit from the 2009 economic stimulus that boosts food stamp dollars will no longer be available. The Agriculture Department says a family of four receiving food stamps will receive $36 less a month.
Food stamp costs have swelled as the economy has struggled in recent years, with the stimulus providing higher benefits and many people signing up for the first time. The program now costs almost $80 billion a year.
The increase in spending has turned the program into a target for House Republicans, who have proposed $4 billion in annual cuts and changes in eligibility and work requirements.

The Bills tried to "develop" him into a 4-3 DE which isn't big enough for, so those years not only didn't help him to in the LB dept, but prob hurt him as he was focused on playing with a hand on the ground.
He has been on the Jets for 1 TC where he focused on rush end, and one offseason where he started to work on LB. I think we really have to hold judgement on his skill level at OLB until next season.

Fans of golf and Golf Channel should be angry and disappointed if the network bows to the pressure of Tiger Woods and his agent to fire one of the best commentators in the game, Brandel Chamblee.
Woods and agent Mark Steinberg have not called for Chamblee's ouster directly after he stirred up a controversy by writing in a Golf.com column that Woods had been "cavalier" with the rules during the PGA Tour season. But they've certainly implied that's what they want to happen.
"All I am going to say is that I know I am going forward. But then, I don't know what the Golf Channel is going to do or not," Woods said in China. "But then that's up to them. The whole issue has been very disappointing, as he didn't really apologize and he sort of reignited the whole situation. So the ball really is in the court of the Golf Channel and what they are prepared to do."
Steinberg said: "I'm all done talking about it, and it's now in the hands of the Golf Channel. That's Tiger's view and that's mine, and all we want to do is move forward. And whether the Golf Channel moves forward as well, then we'll have to wait and see."
So "moving forward" for the Golf Channel is firing Chamblee for something he wrote on another company's website? That's ridiculous. But, of course, Golf Channel has the highest profile on the tour of any entity in golf television, so Woods and Steinberg must feel like turning the screws on them accomplishes more. Even if Chamblee had said it on Golf Channel air, he still shouldn't be fired. He has a right to say what he believes as long as it's not slander -- and this clearly was not.
Chamblee is paid by whoever he is working for to offer his opinion. He has plenty of them, is extremely well-spoken, and runs against the grain of so many ex-players in golf who are afraid to anger their buddies. Fans should revere him for his insight.
Being called a cheater in golf is a scarlet letter, which is why Woods is so angry. But he's defended himself very publicly, and now needs to move on and do his job, just as Chamblee did his.

SPOTTED: Montessori students participate in President's Challenge Physical Fitness Test
After months of training, the elementary students of May River Montessori were put to the test.
Students were challenged Saturday morning to complete various exercises to fulfill the President's Challenge Physical Fitness Test, a combination of five activities that test physical strength, flexibility and endurance.
"It has been a challenge for our kids," said physical education teacher Ashley Bozard. "I think it's a challenge for all kids these days because the standards were set in 1985, and they have changed. But we have really changed as a nation, our children and how athletic they are."
Bozard, who helped start the formal physical education program at the Montessori school this academic year, said she started working with the children in January toward achieving the fitness goals. The tests included a distance run and walk, a shuttle run, sit-ups, push-ups and a flexibility test.
"I felt like they needed a goal to motivate them to work hard, to achieve some fitness level," Bozard said. "Everybody starts at a different place, and everybody is good in different areas. And that's what I really wanted them to see."
This is the first year for formal physical education at both the primary and elementary levels at the school.
Sharon Haag, director of May River Montessori, said she felt the students were gaining more knowledge and skills for the formal physical education program.
"It's been awesome," she said. "It's physical education, but they also learn about nutrition. It's just coming from a place of health and wellness."
Bozard invited family to join the kids on Saturday morning for a Family Field Day with "old school field day games" such as tug-of-war, three-legged races and sack races.
Bozard will send the results from Saturday's tests to the President's Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition. Students who complete the exercises will receive one of three awards based on their overall level of fitness: The Participant Physical Fitness Award, the National Physical Fitness Award and the Presidential Physical Fitness Award.

For 42 years as a do-it-all photo lab magician, Robert Messina has made photographers' work shine at the Color Lab. But business has declined as the digital age changed photography, and fewer shooters seek film processing and printing.
There aren't many custom printers left, especially those who do enormous enlargements. Messina is one of them, and his clients include Laura Wilson, Ann Stautberg, the LBJ Library and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art in New Orleans.
The business began with his father, John, who opened Messina Photography in 1946 in the Cedar Springs area and worked until 1980 doing studio portraits and on-location jobs. In 1968, John Messina expanded to include a custom lab.
Robert Messina went to work there in 1970 after studying photography and art at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville. Brother John also went into the trade and tackled the photography part while Robert took on the lab. In 1973, they moved to North Harwood Street in the Little Mexico neighborhood and, in 1985, to the current location, a huge though nondescript warehouse at 4442 Lawnview Ave.
At its peak, the Color Lab employed seven; today, Messina goes it alone.
He isn't retiring yet, but he is scaling back. "I'm looking forward to pursuing my own art," he says. Despite the business's name, Messina specializes in black and white. He has sold off much of the equipment, yet the lab is still full of paraphernalia of the trade.
With the smell of Dektol developer triggering my nostalgia, I started documenting the space during my visits. Here are some of those images — taken, ironically, with a smartphone and processed with just a push of the button.

Welcome to "The Cities"
LAC Chair Richard Geise, along with other local yokels, compiled this list of things to do around the Twin Cities (besides attend the AAPM meeting).
Within walking distance:
Walk a couple blocks East from the Convention Center and try lawn bowling or darts with your pint of the plain at Brits Pub or check out the Minnesota Orchestra to see what is going on at Summerfest. Going farther East down Nicollet Mall will take you to many shops and restaurants. If it's raining, stay dry by taking the Minneapolis Skyway.
A walk Westward down the greenway takes you to Loring Park. From there you can cross the foot bridge to the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. Across the street is the Walker Art Center. (Note: This is NOT your grandma's art museum). A few blocks North from Loring Park is the Minneapolis Farmer's Market. Go early for fresh fruit and veggies or just people watching.
Greater Minneapolis and St. Paul and suburbs:
There is a lot to do within a short ride, but keep in mind you won't be able to hail a cab to get back to your hotel as easily as in Chicago or New York. Public transportation is mostly by bus.
For an extended walk to enjoy some of the cities' lakes, head to Lake-of-the-Isles or Lake Calhoun and catch the Como-Harriet Streetcar Line to Lake Harriet.
If you walk to the East end of Nicollet mall you can hop on the light rail to Minnehaha Falls/Park where you can picnic and carry your lover across the creek just like Hiawatha.
Baseball fans can watch the Minnesota Twins host the LA Angels at home in the dome (July 21-22), or for a more laid back, less predictable experience try the Saint Paul Saints.
There are many good venues for theater in the Twin Cities. The most famous of which, the Guthrie Theater, will be presenting Sherman Edwards' musical "1776" in July. Unfortunately the Children's Theater takes a break that month.
History buffs may like the Mill Ruins Park in Minneapolis or the Minnesota History Center in St. Paul.
Other interesting museums include the Minnesota Children's Museum, Science Museum of Minnesota and the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
If you like water, spend the afternoon "ridin' down the Old Man" on a Paddlewheel Cruise, ride the antique steamboat Minnehaha, or enjoy a dinner cruise with Al and Alma on Lake Minnetonka.
The Como Park Conservatory/Zoo is a nice small zoo in St. Paul, good for a short trip. Plan to spend the day if you go to the Minnesota Zoo in Apple Valley.
Day trips South of the River:
Shop till you drop at the Mall of America, ride the Renegade at Valleyfair, play the ponies at Canterburry Park, or just stroll through the beautiful gardens at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum.
Out-state Minnesota:
If you have more time you can tour the Mayo Clinic in Rochester (about two hours drive from Minneapolis). For an extended weekend we recommend the "Norwegian Riviera" along the North Shore of Lake Superior. If you have a week and love roughing it, head for the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Outfitters in the area will set you up with everything you need for a price, but plan ahead.
… or you can just drive around the state looking for Lake Wobegon - not a bad deal, eh?

EVERETT — A Darrington woman has been arrested for investigation of assault after allegedly setting a former friend's hair on fire while on a Community Transit bus.
Witnesses were able to put the fire out before it could cause any serious damage, according to an arrest report filed by a Snohomish County Sheriff's deputy assigned to transit detail.
The suspect, 56, reportedly was sitting behind the woman near the middle of the bus on Monday morning. That's when she allegedly reached up between the seats and lit the woman's long hair on fire using a Bic lighter and possibly a pump bottle of hair spray.
A passenger reached across the aisle and put out the fire by smacking the woman on the back.
The bus driver called 911.
The deputy credited the quick action of the other passenger.
"Due to the immediate and swift response by the witness to put out the hair on fire, the victim did not suffer any visible injury," he wrote in a report.
Detectives will review video from the bus.
Deputies took into evidence two Bic lighters and hair spray from the suspect's purse.
The suspect said the fire was an accident.
The woman already was awaiting trial later this month on a charge of trafficking in stolen property when she was arrested in connection with the bus incident. In that case, she is accused of selling a stolen gold bracelet. The woman whose hair was lit on fire on the bus Monday allegedly helped steal the bracelet from a Darrington home in June 2013.
Court papers listed the relationship between the suspect and the woman as "ex friend."

A couple folks have asked me how I am able to take a picture and add arrows and text to it to simplify the process of communication when troubleshooting, so i thought I would post the answer for all who are interested.
The program I use is called Irfanview. It has been around since the computer stone age began.
It is FREE, really. I have sent in donations from time to time because I love the app.
A link to the website is here:http://www.irfanview.com/
A quick list of the main features I use are:
Control-R - Reduction
F12 - Open the paint dialog.
Once you open this you can use the Arrow and Text tool to append your images
You can change the arrow and text foreground/background colors by clicking on them and selecting a new one.
You can set the line thickness (I usually use 6)
When drawing an arrow, it draws a line at the start and an arrowhead at the end.
Control-Z UNDO (I use this a lot when not happy with the placement of things)
It also has an amazing feature called batch processing.
You can open the batch processing feature, select from one to an entire directory of files, choose the effect from resizing, to renaming, to changing the gamma, and anything else you can think of, you can select a new target location and click begin to have it process them all.
For example, I select a folder full of 3000x2000 images, tell it to resize to 25%, and append "_SM" to the filename, then select a subfolder called "small" (it will create it on the fly if needed) and then start the batch process. 1 minute later I have a whole folder of resized files to be able to post with.
I hope this is useful for folks.
