So who was that guy who closed the third Twins' Spring Training game today against the Yankees and earned a heart-attack save, courtesy Danny Valencia?
Mike Gosling is a 28 year old leftie, from Salt Lake City, UT who was originally drafted by the Twins in the 14th round of the 1998 draft; did not sign and decided to attend Stanford University, where he got a degree in Biology (Breslow anyone?) and drafted in the second round of 2001 by the Diamondbacks. In 2002 and 2003 he was ranked by Baseball America as the second highest prospect in the Dbacks system and in 2004 as the 10th. In 2003 he was ranked as the number 59 prospect in the nation by Baseball America. In his last season in Stanford he started 14 games and relieved in 3 additional, acquiring a 7-3 record to go along with a 3.95 ERA and a 1.13 WHIP. His best professional season was his first in El Paso of the Texas League (AA), when he started 27 games pitched 166.7 innings winning 14 and losing 5, while assembling a 3.13 ERA and 1.27 WHIP. The rest of his professional career went down hill. He was rushed to AAA in 2003 (which happened to be with Tuscon in the pitcher unfriendly Pacific Coast League) and bombed. He earned a couple of cups of coffee with Arizona and was placed on waivers in 2006 because he was out of options. Picked up by the Reds, spending time between Louisville (International League) and Cincinnati the next 2 seasons did not prove career rejuvenating for him. His best season in AAA was in 2006 with Louisville where he started 13 games for 78 innings assembling a 5-3 record with a 3.00 ERA and 1.21 WHIP. This earned him a promotion to the Reds' pen where he appeared in 23 games as a LOOGY, posting a 4.91 ERA and 2.12 WHIP. Not too good. Last year he was picked up by Toronto and spent the whole season as a set up man in Syracuse (International League) finishing 26 games and earning 7 saves to go with a 3.67 ERA and an unremarkable 1.46 WHIP. Control is not his thing. He walked as many people as he struck out in parts of 4 major league seasons. He has a 86-87 mph 2-seamer, a 80 mph slider and a change.
His career major league pitching line is: 4 seasons, 43 games, 9 GS, 3 wins, 4 loses, 92 IP, 61 BB, 61 K, 4.79 ERA, 1.85 WHIP
His career minor league pitching line is: 7 seasons, 189 games, 126 GS, 46 wins, 37 loses, 7 saves, 788 IP, 299 BB, 576 K, 4.58 ERA, 1.52 WHIP
At this point, given the presence of Julianel in Rochester, I am not sure what Gosling's role could be with the Twins' organization, other than an occasional lefty in Rochester's pen, at best.
BTW, Mike Gosling has not relationship to this guy, as far as I know.
Who is Mike Gosling?

Nuthing Much!
How many months had it been now..that I had seen you? I remember it...Its exactly 3 months and 2 days now...Isn't it enough time for someone to forget? But how can I? I see you in the digital Screen, in the late night sleep, in the frost of the day, in the freezing fingers. While at night, standing on the balcony and starring at the almost spotless sky, I can imagine what would you say for this. May be I know you so much? May be you are all that I had thought you were?
The adorable kid on my desktop solicits inquisitive questions and a muted, understood smile. That smile is a sign of playing along with the lie that I live through- just as the same lie you are living too. Isn't it hard not to look at that kid and smile to oneself- saying this is what I am missing? It is hard..mighty hard.
Every morning as I wake up and switch ON the comp, the smile, those twisted lips, those carefree childish face- that fleeting moment is what I look forward for, in a day. The last week, when this monitor wouldn't work and the laptop had to go for a service- there isn't something that I had missed so much as that face that wakes me up every day.
It's the feeling of getting back something that left you- words can't explain them.

You read all of them through the day logged into another machine.
You return back and see the page opened.
You click on the "Check mail" button.
The Screen refreshes to 3 unread mails (though they had been read through the day).
You hit the button twice and you get-

Indian Outsourcing Industry!
While skimming through the headlines, I got upon this particular article from Infoworld. Makes an interesting read and one that echoes what had been running in my mind ever since I joined one of those (All said and done, my employer is still perceived as an outsourcer only- though many might not agree). I have been seeing many business managers (both from my Senior batch and my batch) joining IT companies- the lure of money, the opportunities, the general "Oh, you are an IT Guy" might have been reasons for the same.
I can very well testify that there had been movements other way too, but they pale in comparison with the movement towards IT. As the later portion of the article points out,
Indian IT spending is growing at a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.8 percent, the highest in the Asia-Pacific region, to over $36 billion by 2009, Gartner said. This increase comes from rising expectations from businesses for IT to play a larger role in growth, efficiency and competitive advantage, it added.When we have such a big IT spender in our midst, seems like we are blissfully unaware of the market or we are blatantly ignoring them, for want of quick bucks. I am sure Indian IT companies can subsidise their Indian operations for a couple of years, so that they can gain a foothold in a fast emerging market. Consider the spate of industrial growth that has been triggered in India- take for example the retail industry alone. There are other auxiliary industries like Logistics, Packaging and Supply Chain Management etc that would grow as retail grows. If we are able to concentrate on those for the time being- I am not saying that we leave the lucrative operations in NA and Europe for India...If we can just put in some effort and are willing to wait for results in a couple of years time,we might just crack the potential here.
I understand there are issues here like Margins, Credit, Pricing etc. I would assume the same issues with any client. After all, any client would be tight on his wallet. I know we can't expect the same margin as with our European and American clients- after all, we would have to negotiate in terms of Rupees and not in Dollars :)- but that's the part of the business. I am afraid, because, if we loose out on this now, it might just be too late, later.
There might be other concerns. What would be the result of such an approach on the Psyche of the employees. Take it or not, the option of an On-site is a big factor "for" an IT job. Would it still matter if I know for sure, I wouldn't have that option as an employee with a company concentrating on domestic market and still find it luring enough? Would that lead to an increase in wages- what would happen in such a scenario, where there is already pressure on the margins and also on the expenditure? Would that be a good enough scenario for Indian companies to work in and survive? Can their overseas market subsidise domestic market for long?
These questions, I assume are being asked at the relevant offices and I hope, we see atleast a spark of an activity in this area.

Nationalistic Pride!
I am just waiting for more Indian noises! I fail to understand the excitement over this news(purely and only from the perspective that I am ranting about here) and the tag "Indian-American". I am afraid we live in such a hypocratic world that I wonder what makes us think she is Indian anymore. I am sure Sunitha got where she got, not because of her nationality. She got there through her hard work, intellect and merits. To claim a national pride where there exists none - or at least to rejoice in such nationalistic jingoism, sucks.
I am skeptical whether Sunitha would claim herselves an Indian, anymore than Musharaff would claim himselves an Indian. I wonder how come none of our news papers ever call Musharaff an "Indian-Pakistani". In the same league, how about calling Advani, as "Pakistani-Indian"? Such stupidity!
I had never been a votary for this thing called "Nationalism"[Though I can understand there is some shred of pride in me, in the fact of being called an Indian- Old habits- die hard]- When are we going to come out of the Nation State? I think the time has come for Nation State to wither..But frankly, I am unable to see an alternative. May be just states and not Nation States would be a solution. But states can't survive without becoming a Nation State- else America would have been a province of England still.

Police have appealed information following a report that a man was threatened by another person brandishing a knife.
The incident is alleged to have occurred at a bar on Spencer Road at about 7.55pm on Wednesday March 16.

This article was originally posted in the RadiobillyFM magazine which you can get a hold of over here: http://radiobillyfm.com/radiobilly-fm-the-magazine-issue-1/ The second issue is on the way and I've just submitted another article.
How I remembered to love the CD.I grew up in the late 1970s and 1980s. At the time, I do not think that I ever realised what a ruthless and materialistic period that those decades were becoming. I suppose that it is inevitable. As individuals it is nigh impossible to look at the time that we are in and compare it to anything. We have no reference point. What I did realise is that I loved "stuff" and "stuff" was purchased with my well-appreciated, if not as a child at least, hard-earned pounds. Well, actually, back then fifty English pence was still quite a significant amount for a ten year old. One of my earliest memories is cycling to the nearest town to where I lived and going to buy a single or two. I think the first was by the doo-wop band from the 1970s, The Darts and the song was Duke of Earl. My dad had the most amazing stereo at that time. It had a cassette recorder, a record player and an FM tuner. The vinyl media players were still called record players at that time; this was before the record deck came into the vernacular. This was an exciting time because I knew that I could start collecting singles and actually dub them onto cassette tapes in the order that I wanted to hear them and to make my first mix-tapes. As I soon discovered there were other fun aspects to this whole process. The uncontainable excitement started building during the week at primary school. I think, looking back on it, we were quite a music-savvy bunch of kids. There would be in-depth conversations about Adam & The Ants and Bow Wow Wow's appearance on the "Top of the Pops" television show and there was the inevitable deconstruction of BBC Radio 1's "The Official Top 40". We would all tune in to it on Sundays, sit with our trigger fingers on the "Rec" and "Play" buttons or using pause if one was a very technical kid, and quickly try to grab the songs we liked. There was a sweet spot between cutting out the banal chatter of the DJ and not missing too much of the introduction of your favourite song. However, if I decided that I really liked the song then I would start planning to buy the single, count my allowance and get ready for the 5-mile bike ride to town at the weekend. I am sure that I am looking back on this with the naivety of youth and the rose-tinted filter of childhood pleasure but it was a magical time.
My love affair with record collecting continued through my teens and college years. I remember that my student mates considered me a freak when I moved into my college dorm because I took with me a few hundred records. It was a mammoth task to move because I lived in the east of England and the three-hour drive to the Leicester in the East Midlands was pain in the ass. Those records weigh a lot, as any collector can testify. The reason why I took them? Well, it is because I seriously felt that I could not live without them. Those records had become a kind of diary of my development. They were the ones that I felt were relevant to that period of my life. It was also a fantastic chat-up tactic. Inviting a girl back to my place to see part of my record collection was on a par with the old Victorian "come up to see my etchings". The result was usually the same record put on repeat for a few hours whilst we got on with … other things. If I was lucky. This was around the start of the 1990s and this was the blossoming of the compact disc era. I still had not purchased a CD player and I did not have any CDs as of yet.
I did not actually get into compact disc buying until the mid to late 1990s. When I did, it was really because of practical reasons rather than anything else. Around this time record shops seemed to begin the inevitable shift from equal stocks of vinyl and compact discs to a 2-to-1 emphasis on those little silicon disc. It became harder to get the music I wanted to listen to on vinyl without travelling to specialist shops. I still did though, but an increasing amount of music started to find its way into my collection as CDs. Later, whilst living in London at the time that it involved a significant amount of stress to find what you want to buy and actually get to the shop whilst dodging the eight million others who were trying to do the same thing. If you were living there on a daily basis and not simply visiting for the week, you tended to stick to your own manor as much as possible to reduce the unique hassle of travelling anywhere. There were no specialist shops near to where I lived so I would grab the compact discs at the local shop if they had them and that became a habit. Purchasing vinyl tended to be reserved for records that I really wanted or from artists that of which I already had a significant amount. This was for purely aesthetic reasons because I wanted my collection to be neat, tidy and, not least, impressive. A key point here is that I meant impressive to myself, not just to others.
I am definitely no Luddite. I have always been very involved in technology and especially computers. Around this time, I had started experimenting with my own home studio and spent a significant amount of time learning about recording music. Added to that I was a DJ. When MP3s first entered my world, it was a revolution. I could carry around MP3s, usually burnt to a compact disc, everywhere and that meant hundreds of them. From the very start, I realised that there was something wrong with the sound. It was those high frequencies. High hats were noticeably flanging or oscillating. I will not get into the technical aspects of this here because it is both boring for the non-musician and I want to come back to this in a more technical article later. The practical aspect made MP3s attractive and, later, when the market for portable MP3 players came, the evolution of the digital revolution took another leap forward. When it became possible for us to buy MP3s, immediately online music stopped being a product and became a media service. My relationship with music changed.
MP3s are throwaway. We can easily move, copy and delete MP3 files on a whim with a single click or key-press. I feel that we cannot be surprised that the generation who are growing up with music as a service rather than a physical product or piece of art feel that it has no worth. I know because my relationship with music also changed and music became something that I consumed. It was not something that I had a relationship to, just sound. Compressed digital media has positive aspects like ease of distribution outside of the record label structure, immediacy, interoperability with web content, and portability. The problem is that when this is the only method of delivery that exists for the new generation there is no artistic worth. It is just something that they can get anywhere, often free. I cannot change the current situation for others, other than set an example with my radio show. This is something that I do regularly and is, with articles like this one, my attempt to give another viewpoint.
Around six-months ago, I decided to stop buying music online. I just purchase physical music, have them delivered and then I rip them to audio files for ease-of-use. I still take the CDs with me in the car and play them on my sound system because of the higher quality. I have noticed several different things since I started doing this. The first is that I give records a chance. With MP3s, I would tend to listen once and if the record did not grab me the first time, I would archive it and move on. Now I will listen to records repeatedly, just as I used to, and in many cases, grow to love them as I hear different aspects over time. This appeals to me as I feel that I have started digging deeper into music again. I also go back into artists' back catalogue. With MP3s, I would often only have the last album by a band. Now I am more likely to collect earlier work and get a better understanding from where their work is coming from. I get to know more about the band as I spend time reading the sleeve notes, cross-referencing musicians using the web and do so whilst I am actually listening to the music. In that way, listening to music has become an event in itself, not simply just a form of background noise. I have a sense of ownership of the music too. I have invested in something that I love and I have something to show for it. Look, over there. I like that band. Do you see? I have everything that they have recorded. Buying music and having it delivered has also caused me to have some excitement about receiving the package. I look forward to checking the post and when I get a package I immediately set off an hour of my time to listen through the CD I have received. Again, it has become an event.
Well, I think that I am on the right track, at least for myself. I do think that MP3s themselves are an excellent medium and have many positive aspects to them. I just feel that with each advance in technology, we do not necessarily have to give up on what has come before. Just because something is shiny and new, it does not mean that old way of doing things was wrong. Now, I am just going to hit the Raucous Records website before I log off my PC.

Seeking Military Binocular Option Guide
If asked, most people would certainly refuse help when choosing a set of binoculars. Probably, their primary selection requirements are based upon either magnifying or the rate. You will certainly have to stabilize your individual assumptions of the top quality of the view, the capability called for and you are spending plan. These variables will certainly determine the appropriate set for you. Also there is exchange with binocular requirements, so you should recognize what you are surrendering by selecting various other functions or specs so that you could make an informed purchase that you will certainly be pleased with for several years to come. Field glasses are generally used while birding or searching, during arena events or races, for astronomy, and even while day trekking beautiful or nature trails. When you check out a pair of field glasses you are observing the field of vision. In each of these activities, the user wishes to get a closer take a look at the subjects in the area of sight.
The high quality of that view could vary substantially from various manufacturers despite the fact that the contrasts are made between the same zoom and unbiased size. The quality of the site has to meet or surpass your expectations. You see, a birder needs to see the coloring and information of the topic, in this instance possibly the feathers of a rare bird. This might likewise be viewing any scene where razor sharp images are preferred. Day long treks at a birding celebration are not uncommon. Oftentimes birds might in fact approach the viewer, so quality glass, lightweight and a close emphasis spec are preferred specifications that must be taken into consideration. The close focusing spec of a binocular assigns just how close to the user the field glasses will concentrate.
Every binocular will certainly focus out at infinity but the close focus specification is different for every model military issue binoculars. The close emphasis is a vital requirement for birders and those who enjoy butterfly viewing. If close focusing is important to you, then select a set that has a specification of 10 feet or less. When looking at a high contrasting photo in the field of view you may not understand it in the beginning however after close examination you could see slim bands of color outlining the edge of dark items, providing them blurry and dull due to undistinct light. This is called shade fringing. In some field glasses this effect could be seen throughout the whole field of vision and could even grow dramatically as you approach the edge of the field of view. You should ask yourself if you are willing to deal with a much less compared to a bright, sharp and brilliant field of view. Quality glass is important.
Wide Angle & Focus-ability
A seeker will certainly probably not have to be interested in the close emphasis spec as his subject is usually much farther away. The exact same is true of astronomy, arena events or races. The customer is not concerned regarding loosened strings on a jersey, somebody's tattoo, or the material structure of a jockeys cap. In these cases the typical expectation is to see the activity. Right here a large angle sight is much more desired due to the fact that the individual not only wishes to see the receiver, yet the defenders and various other players in the location also. Contrast field of view requirements and pick a larger worth.

Seven months ago I finished my first project for Volvo Group, an iPhone+iPad app intended to search for used trucks with.
The manager of the used trucks department, "the customer", criticized the first version in strong words, and more or less said they wanted the app to look exactly like a competitor's, and the project was very important and they had to get it "out there" quickly. The competitor had an app based on text-forms, which was very dull and buggy. Boooring we thought, but customer's always right so ahead we went.
I made the first version and tried to hot it up a little, and then a graphics guy skinned it by supplying me with a texture for the top and background and giving me some RGB-values. This is how it came out:
I finished my part in early November 2011, and now in June 2012 they have still not released it. The reason is that the manager has been stalling. Probably what Seth Godin would call "urgent, not important" and toxic to any company, since it gives the competition a head start. (Not to mention it's a total rip-off of a lousy competitor's lousy app.)
I haven't worked anything on my ping pong game, but it's going to suck so hard, it wouldn't be worth mentioning anyways. Btw I found an indie game dev competitor: the guy who made The Little Crane That Could – I'm super jealous of him! I especially liked his controls with the levers. He didn't want to disclose how much money he made from it though. Oh well, I'll have to pick some other of my dozen or so gaming ideas instead.
But right after the ping pong game, I'll do a monster truck game, perhaps with a slight resemblance to the old Kick Start on the C64. Not because I like those kinds of games, but because it's easy to make. The next one after that will be the first game where I aim to make a real good one.

Typical responses to the out-migration of young and well-skilled people from the countryside are initiatives that strive to prevent people from leaving their homes. The Austrian cooperative Otelo prefers another strategy. It creates open spaces and open technology labs in small towns and villages that provides established residents and newcomers a place for experimenting and for sharing and developing ideas. It creates "white spaces" in an environment that often lacks of public, undefined areas. The Otelo idea is to create inspiring environments that attract talented and open minded people of living in rural communities.
Facilitating brain gain rather than preventing brain drain is one of the insights that result from the RurInno research secondment taking place in September and October 2016. Ralph Richter and Jan Zwilling, two researchers from the Leibniz Institute for Research on Society and Space (Germany) came to Upper Austria in order to investigate how Otelo develops, implements and communicates innovative solutions for the challenges rural communities are faced with. They accompany social entrepreneurs from Otelo in their daily activities, observe meetings, conduct interviews with residents and rural decision makers in the communities of Vorchdorf and Vöcklabruck and collect documents and strategy papers. Analysing the comprehensive material will be a task for the next months.

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Susan G. Komen®, the world's leading breast cancer organization, issued the following statement today regarding a new study partially funded by the organization – called Trial Assigning Individualized Options for Treatment, or TAILORx. The study shows that many women with early stage breast cancer may not need to undergo chemotherapy treatment. The study was published today in the New England Journal of Medicine and presented this weekend at a meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology.
The study found that 70 percent of women with early stage breast cancers that are HER2 negative and are sensitive to estrogen, may be able to forgo chemotherapy and its toxic side effects. By using individuals' Oncotype DX Genomic testing score, researchers found some patients need take only hormone therapy, drugs that block the hormone estrogen or stops the body from making it. This statement can be attributed to Victoria Wolodzko, Komen's Senior Vice President of Mission.
"Susan G. Komen has been concerned for years about the toxic side effects of chemotherapy, because while it can save lives, it also can potentially cause heart and nerve damage, and also leave patients vulnerable to infection and increase the risk of leukemia later in life. This is why we have funded a body of research that seeks to more precisely treat breast cancers and potentially avoid chemotherapy. This study, which was supported in part by Komen funding, suggests that we have the potential to use Genomic testing to tell some women more precisely whether they would benefit from chemotherapy or not."
According to the researchers, the study definitively identifies the 70% of women with early-stage, hormone-receptor positive, HER-2 negative, node-negative breast cancer who do not benefit from chemotherapy and the 30% of those women for whom chemotherapy can be lifesaving. For all women who fall in the mid-range of Oncotype Dx test scores regardless of age, there was a clear and large chemotherapy benefit. In women younger than 50, those with lower scores showed modest (2%) chemotherapy benefit, which gradually grew as scores increased. This important finding reveals how Oncotype DX testing can lead to a new level of precision treatment.
The TAILORx trial was independently designed and conducted by ECOG-ACRIN under the sponsorship of the National Cancer Institute (NCI), and was the largest adjuvant breast cancer treatment trial ever conducted. It enrolled 10,273 women with early-stage breast cancer across approximately 1,200 sites in the United States and 5 additional countries. Komen funded Dr. Joseph A. Sparano of Montefiore Medical Center in New York, the leader of the study, to create a biospecimen bank focused on defining tumor and host factors contributing to recurrence of breast cancer occurring more than five years after diagnosis.
Komen has invested more than $266 million in over 590 research grants and nearly 100 clinical trials focused on precision medicine.
About Susan G. Komen®
Susan G. Komen is the world's largest breast cancer organization, funding more breast cancer research than any other nonprofit outside of the federal government while providing real-time help to those facing the disease. Komen has set a Bold Goal to reduce the current number of breast cancer deaths by 50 percent in the U.S. by 2026. Since its founding in 1982, Komen has funded more than $956 million in research and provided more than $2.1 billion in funding to screening, education, treatment and psychosocial support programs serving millions of people in more than 60 countries worldwide. Komen was founded by Nancy G. Brinker, who promised her sister, Susan G. Komen, that she would end the disease that claimed Suzy's life. That promise has become Komen's promise to all people facing breast cancer. Visit komen.org or call 1-877 GO KOMEN. Connect with us on social at ww5.komen.org/social.

CALEXICO, Calif. – Calexico police said the search is on for several men who broke into a home and threatened the victims with a knife on Monday.
Police said the incident happened at a home on Andrade Avenue in Calexico.
"Several suspects entered the residence, ransacked it," said Detective Albert Llanas.
A teenage boy and his disabled grandparent were inside the home, according to officials.
"Held down while the other subjects ransacked the residence," Llanas said.
Officers said the suspects allegedly held them at knife point during the robbery.
"Several objects were taken and the Calexico Police Department located one of the objects near where this incident took place," Llanas said.
Police said the victims are not helping in the investigation.
"The victim who is a male gave us very little details, uncooperative at the time, too," Llanas said.
Officers said they are still investigating.
"At this time no suspects have been arrested," Llanas said.
Neighbor Lourdes Pacheco said she doesn't feel safe in the area, even though she's never had a break-in.
"Lately there's been a lot of break-ins. I wish there was more supervision," Pacheco said.
She would like to see a neighborhood watch start soon.
"The same neighborhood right here we could keep a watch like we used to do before," Pacheco said.
She says the neighborhood could help protect itself if they organized a watch.
"Us taking care of each other," Pacheco said.
Until that happens, Pacheco said she relies on the eyes and ears of her three small dogs that are always on watch duty.

Cameron's Whale Watch
We won't bore you with most of the details of our daily rituals, so we will tell you a little thing that Cameron has been doing in school.
Cameron has really taken off on reading, so he was given accelerated reading assignments. In one of his books that he was reading, he became highly engrossed in the lives of humpback whales. To his excitement, he discovered, at the end of the book, that he could "adopt" a whale. He asked his teacher if their class could adopt a humpback whale. She passed this off as a phase that would soon pass.... needless to say, the persistant will prevail!!!
He began to get his class involved and excited about this project. The teacher soon realized she was outvoted, so she gave Cam the assignment of finding out all the information needed in order to adopt this whale.
Well Cameron decides that he needs to go about this with very thought out steps...
Step #1: To truly convert his class to loving humpback whales: He comes home and searches the online Encyclopedia (sadly, he is getting better at surfing than we are) and prints off a two page report on these ocean giants; he takes the report in and reads it to his class, and they take the bait!
Step #2: Find out how their class can "adopt" a whale: Upon more searching of the internet, he was able to find the New England Whale Center, and all about this adoption process- the names of whales, cost of "adopting", and all the freebies they give you when you adopt... Again, more printing!
Step #3: Come up with ideas for raising the money to "adopt" this whale: Cameron has always loved to sell baked goods whenever we have had a yard sale... so his first thought was, "hey, we can sell cookies and stuff in the hallway". Again, the class was unanimous. (So who do you suppose get's to bake most of the stuff for the bake sale? Yep, good 'ol mom... lucky she likes to do that kind of stuff!)
So, after all this hard work and effort on Cameron's part, his class will be having their fundraiser on October 1-3, to raise money in order to adopt a Humpback whale! He has had to warn the class though, "it has to stay in the ocean, it won't fit in our classroom!"

Mitch, that's so awesome! Cameron is a genius, and you guys need to capitalize on this. Remember the dude from Jeopardy? That could be Cameron up there earning millions of dollars.
Maybe we'll contribute to the Whale Watch fund when you come and visit.
By the way, how much is it to adopt a whale? If you adopt it can you put a restraining order on Greenpeace from coming within 200 yards of it? Or whalers?

Cameron definitely get's his smarts from me... NOT! I want to know too, how much does the whale adoption cost? Will you get cute little whale pictures of your adoptee as he/she grows up? Will it be yours forever? Can you go and visit on weekends? Does he or she know Shamu?

To adopt a humback whale- sorry Katie, it's not a killer whale- is only $40, but to a 2nd grade class, that's a lot. They are having a bake sale to earn the money at their school. They get a 8x10 picture of their whale, recorded humpback whale sounds, and a bunch of other stuff... it's fun for the kids! And I have wondered too, if this will save them from being hunted... hmmm... curious to know.

San Jose Stadium Getting Roof?

- San Jose Stadium, Stadium Talk
With the lack of internet over the weekend I nearly missed this post. Thankfully WVHooligan writer Geoff Reid did not miss out on it. He sent me this post over from CenterLineSoccer about the possible roof that could be on the new San Jose Stadium.
Here is what Jay Hibbs has to say about the roof. Apparently photos will come soon enough for this.
That permanent home has never been far from the minds of the Earthquakes� front office, though, and on Thursday afternoon I was given a sneak preview of how they envision the team�s future digs. To say that I was impressed would be an understatement.
The images I saw were architectural renderings of what the completed stadium would look like and are currently being used to show prospective sponsors how their brand might be featured in the new facility. These images aren�t just pipe dreams put together by the marketing department, though; these drawings are an accurate representation of the stadium design as it currently exists.
It is, in a word,� beautiful. It wouldn�t look out of place at all in Europe.
The stands are tilted steeply, 20 rows high, and surround the field on three sides, with one end open. A roof � a real live roof, not like the canopies you see in Colorado, Salt Lake City, or the Home Depot Center � covers the seating throughout.
Believe me this is great news of it comes out. Not only does it mean the noise will be kept in, and I know that is good news for Quakes fans who are louder than people give credit for. But it also means it should add some quality stadium atmosphere that we haven't really seen in MLS before.
Do you like the idea of a roof over the Quakes heads?

President Barack Obama shook hands with legislators as he walked down the center passageway of the House of Representatives before his last State of the Union, breaking into a wide grin when he saw an exceptionally well-known face.
"Eliot, you're here," Obama said.
"Would I be wherever else?" Rep. Eliot L. Engel (D-N.Y.) answered.
For almost three decades, Engel has been on the passageway for each presidential deliver to Congress. For a brief minute, it's simply him and the president — two Republicans and two Democrats since he started the convention in 1989 — shaking hands in a show of support for the pioneer of the free world.
Engel could be somewhere else Tuesday night when President Trump walks down the House's inside passageway to convey his first deliver to a joint session of Congress. It's not in fact called a State of the Union this ahead of schedule in a presidential term, however, Trump's discourse will have similar fancy odds and ends
Engel, as indicated by his staff, has not chosen what to accomplish for the Trump discourse. He may not choose until the day of the address. Different Democrats who have beforehand plotted for prime seats have chosen to separation themselves from Trump, whose first month in office has incited shock from most congressional Democrats.
"I want to sit on the path and shake the president's hand," said Rep. Charge Pascrell Jr. (D-N.J.), who has generally situated himself recently off the path and hung over his partners to get a minute with the president.
Not this time. He'll be in the chamber, yet far from the walkway.
[A larger part of Americans are humiliated by President Trump]
This is quite recently the most recent case of how Trump has mixed the most essential of conventions in Washington. On Jan. 20, for Trump's initiation, 33% of House Democrats freely proclaimed they were boycotting the swearing-in service, drove by social equality symbol John Lewis (D-Ga.), who pronounced Trump an ill-conceived president in view of charged Russian interfering with the 2016 race challenge.
In the Senate, Democrats have turned the ordinarily energetic pace of affirming another president's Cabinet into a phenomenal trudge — notwithstanding for less disputable chosen people. Furthermore, this week, a huge number of liberal hostile to Trump activists have plummeted on town lobby gatherings with administrators to dissent the new president.
Presently, even Tuesday's acquaintance of the president with a joint session of Congress will be looked for political intentions.
Officials and senior Democratic assistants said that they don't expect a blacklist of the discourse, in no way like the more than 60 who declined to go to the introduction.
Since each administrator gets the chance to welcome one visitor to sit in the display above, numerous Democrats are wanting to utilize that ticket as a type of challenge. Pascrell is bringing George K. Yin, a University of Virginia law educator who has contended that Congress has the ability to propel Trump to discharge his assessment forms.
Different Democrats will bring offspring of undocumented outsiders who could be expelled if Trump inverts one of Obama's official requests, while some arrangement to bring Muslim religious pioneers from their locale in the challenge of Trump's travel boycott influencing seven Muslim-dominant part countries, Democratic associates said.
Be that as it may, the "path pigs," as they are lovingly known, are one of the colossal bipartisan customs of these presidential discourses. It stays to be seen whether Democrats will move in an opposite direction from that custom.
[Orioles official wouldn't need a Trump first pitch — without an apology]
Helpers to Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Tex.), who like Engel customarily snatches a walkway situate, did not react to a demand for input about her arrangements. She boycotted the initiation, so on the off chance that she takes a passageway situate, it could make for a conceivably ungainly minute.
Those prime seats are not held for anybody, so an official needs to arrive before the actually arranged time to guarantee a spot — in some cases a couple of hours before the discourse. Custom manages that Republicans sit as an afterthought to the president's all right enters and Democrats on the left.
Be that as it may, there's no administer to it, and one Democratic-associated proposed that if the gathering's "walkway swings" surrender those seats, Republicans will happily snatch them to be seen back home by moderate voters shaking Trump's hand.
On the off chance that that is the situation — if just Republicans welcome the president — Washington will look considerably more captivated on Americans' TV screens Tuesday night than it as of now has.
In 2008, for President George W. Shrub's last State of the Union address, the primary gathering of individuals to welcome the friendly Republican president as he went into the House chamber included Reps. William Lacy Clay (D-Mo.), Al Green (D-Tex.) and G.K. Butterfield (D-N.C.), alongside Engel, Jackson Lee and now-resigned Democrats Steve Israel (N.Y.) and Jesse L. Jackson Jr. (Sick.).
In any case, Trump is distinctive, and nobody is certain how to react to him.
Pascrell everything except ensured that his side of the walkway won't create a "You lie!" minute like the one amid Obama's September 2009 joint address on social insurance, when Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) yelled the allegation amid the president's discourse. "He's the president, appropriately chose," Pascrell said of Trump. "He merits our regard."
Be that as it may, don't anticipate that Democrats will simply stay there inactively if Trump turns his fire on them as he does in his arouses and via web-based networking media.

CCHP's State Telehealth Report Shows Gradual Advances in Coverage
The Center for Connected Health Policy's fifth annual study finds that most state Medicaid programs are reimbursing for video-based telehealth, but the landscape is still confusing.
Source: ThinkStock
- Nearly every state provides Medicaid reimbursement for video-based telehealth, according to the latest report from the Center for Connected Health Policy. In addition, 15 states cover store-and-forward or asynchronous services, and 21 states cover remote patient monitoring – while only nine states reimburse for all three platforms.
But the rules and regulations covering telehealth and telemedicine are as confusing as ever.
"No two states are alike in how telehealth is defined and regulated," the CCHP points out in its State Telehealth Laws and Reimbursement Policies report, released today. "These differences are to be expected, given that each state defines its Medicaid policy parameters, but it also creates a confusing environment for telehealth participants to navigate, particularly when a health system or practitioner provides healthcare services in multiple states."
The 262-page report – the group's fifth annual study - paints an intriguing picture of the breadth and scope of telehealth and telemedicine in the US, and indicates that states are slowly moving to embrace digital health delivery – as evidence by the more than 200 telehealth-related pieces of legislation introduced in 44 states during the 2017 legislative season.
The report noted a "slight uptick" over the past year in store-and-forward and RPM reimbursement, though limitations still exist. Other states, meanwhile, are accepting the home as a eligible originating site and moving away from "standard definitions" to allow specific uses, like teledermatology or even teledentistry.
It also faults state Medicaid programs for their apparent hesitancy to cover the new services.
"Other states have passed wide ranging laws requiring telehealth reimbursement in their Medicaid program in recent years, but Medicaid programs have yet to respond with official regulation or documentation in their provider manuals indicating they are indeed reimbursing services via telehealth," the report notes.
According to the CCHP, 48 states and Washington DC now reimburse for live video in Medicaid fee-for-service programs, a number unchanged over the past two years, the lone holdouts being Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Some states, like California, are expanding their coverage to new programs, while New Jersey reimburses solely for telepsychiatry services.
Of the 15 states now covering store-and-forward services, two – Maryland and Oklahoma – have been added since the CCHP's April 2017 report. And while many states define telehealth as occurring in real-time, some are covering store-and-forward by separating it from telehealth or singling out specific specialties, like radiology, ophthalmology and dermatology.
That's also the case with RPM – a digital health platform also gaining steam in Medicare, where the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services is making moves to separate the service from traditional telehealth and telemedicine coverage (and restrictions). In all, 21 states now allow Medicaid coverage for the platform.
This category is as confusing as any other in the report. Oklahoma added RPM coverage since the April report, but two others – Kentucky and Hawaii – were removed because previously cited provisions for RPM coverage or an RPM pilot haven't been implemented.
In addition, the CCHP notes that states include a hefty list of restrictions with RPM programs, such as limiting reimbursement to home health agencies or skilled nursing facilities, limiting the type of condition being monitoring (such as congestive heart failure or COPD) or restricting what devices can be used or what data can be collected.
Among the other observations reported by CCHP:
- 32 states set a transmission and/or facility fee.
- 6 states set geographic or rural restrictions.
- 5 states have eliminated those restrictions since February 2013.
- 37 states have regulations in place for private payer reimbursement, an addition of two states since the April report – though some states mandate payment parity while others only require service parity.
- 30 states require patient consent for telehealth – a net increase of one since the April report, with Rhode Island and Wisconsin adding the requirement and Nevada dropping it.
- 9 states have specific licensure requirements for telehealth – a decrease of four in the past year, though Tennessee's Osteopathic Board continues to issue those licenses even as the state's Medical Board has dropped the issue.
- 22 states are now part of the Federation of State Medical Boards' Interstate Medical Licensure Compact.

The much talked about partial solar eclipse on Friday was covered by cloud in London. I took this photo on my phone though, using an app and a screenshot. Technology beat the weather! I am not sure I like eclipses anyway as they feel so wrong.
The sunset was lovely as I got home that evening.
A little white daisy was glowing in the garden.
This is what I am crocheting at the moment. It is quite a bit bigger than when this photo was taken. I think I will just carry on with it and make a blanket. I have a lot of wool to use up!

Anyway, who's dad didn't say "When somebody hits you, hit 'em right back" at some point of time. In my case, I was memed by my good friend Katey Taylor at her blog KV Taylor--Spec Fic and Nonsense. Umm...I guess I can't meme her back because the game doesn't work that way. I imagine that I'll have to "pay it forward" (see my
Are you a rutabaga?
Not exactly, but I DID once have an old girlfriend call me a cabbage. Is that close enough?
When was the last time you ate lion meat?
You know what? I've never eaten lion meat (I know, I've had a sheltered life). Does a nice goat curry work as a substitute for Simba? How about shark steak...
Upload a heartwarming picture of something that makes you smile.
Baby pics can be very heartwarming. Lord knows, I've thrown enough pics up here recently to be an authority. There are probably underlying stories going on here. A commentary on violence with today's youth? Perceptions of French-English relations in Canada? Stuff like that. Or perhaps its simply a little Habs fan giving a little Leafs fan a left cross. Or maybe its just a clever segue to the next question...
If you could go back in time and kick the crap out of someone, who would it be?
Hmmm....most of the boys (and some of the girls) in the 6th grade for starters. Perhaps I was teased mercilessly because my mother dressed me funny--it WAS the 70's after all--or maybe it was because I was just a little a**hole...luckily for those folks, I have taken a path of non-violence. As my cousin, wise sage and long-distance truck driver, used to say, "I won my last fight by 50 yards."
Name one habit that makes other people plot your demise.
I've heard that my biting my fingernails can be quite annoying. It's a habit that I picked up from my father in my childhood (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it). My God...the things my mother used to do to get me to stop. Punishments, harsh words, tying on mittens at night (I know that some of you are thinking that the mitten thing was during my teen years). She even used to paint nasty tasting 'stuff' onto my nails. I got used to the taste. People around me should be happy that I've made progress over the years. At least I'm no longer biting my toenails...
What song would you like to be playing while you are kicking the crap out of someone?
If I were to venture into crap-kicking I think that I would like a little Great Big Sea accompaniment. Something lively with a good beat. It seems to me that question is right out of "A Clockwork Orange."
Where da muffin top at?
He, he, he...when we were kids, my cousin's nickname (a different cousin) was the Muffin Man. I think that was on account of the shape of his face and head. In retrospect, after close scrutiny of my once-svelt body, I think that I should have been given that nickname...let's move on...and could you pass me another Danish, please?
How many goats, stacked atop one another like Yertle's Turtles, would it take to reach the moon?
It seems to me that one would reach the moon faster if giraffes were used. I'm wondering, though, if they will be more prone to the effects of wind and such than goats. *Goes off for another cup of coffee to ponder this*
Describe yourself using obscure Latin words.
I'm always thinking ahead (and some would say worrying too much). Non incautus futuri apparently means "Not Unmindful of the Future". Yeah, that works. Needless to say, I didn't know that off the top of my head and perused Wikipedia for a while to find a suitable response.
Why does evil exist?
To maintain a fine balancing act with good, of course. Then again if there was no evil what would horror writers have to write about?
What the chiz are you thinking right now?
I'm wondering what the frig does 'chiz' mean? Going to online Urban Dictionary now...
Tag five people who will have amusing answers if they choose to do this. No hard feelings if not, of course. But it'll be fun! (or a decent time-waster.
1. Cathy Webster
2. Laurita Miller
3. John Wiswell
4. Gigi
5. Harry Sanderford
Pick a funny nickname for number 1.
The Muskoka Mistress of Hilarity Who is So, So, Pretty.
Make up a rhyme about number 2.
There once was a girl from the shore who wrote day and night until the words she could think of no more...
Where would number 3 hide in the event of the apocalypse?
I daresay John would seek shelter in his bathroom. Perhaps passing the time by sitting. And working on another monologue or maybe a satire.
Where does number 4 purchase her pants?
Ya know what...if I was to answer such a question about Gigi with any degree of accuracy I'd be branded some sort of a creepy stalker guy. In a fez (does it get any creepier than THAT!)
What would number 5′s favorite dance move be?
I'm picturing him busting a move, doing some sort of a cowboy boot, Yee-haw'n line dance. Oh, yeah, it would involve a surf board some how. I can't imagine why.

So, Mondays have been a frustration for me at the studio I teach at. Before the December show, I had more students in my Monday class (I only had one Monday class and one Friday class at the time). A problem with the area I live in is that it's a spread out desert area and jobs are harder to come by than in many other areas. This leads to people not being able to afford to put their kids in dance (or adults not being able to easily afford hobbies that cost nearly $50 a month).
This, paired with the fact that the only time I could get to the studio was three hours early, led to me getting in some much needed pointe practice. I just got back into technique classes again and though I have been en pointe for nearly five years, I have craptastic feet and I'm not where I could be.
So, though I'd taken Intermediate Ballet at the junior college en pointe that day, I decided to get in some extra practice. My feet were hurting. Especially my big toe on my right foot. I decided to try to get some photos of me
failing dancing en pointe. Most are stills but I took screen grabs of a video for some chaines that definitely need work. I had thought they were okay, but seeing the pictures...no. haha.
Purple tights I forgot I owned. I need better turnout.
What photo dump wouldn't be complete without a smudgy mirror pic?
I need to work on turning out my back foot.
I'm over my box...but my feet suck. It's an issue I need to work on. Perhaps some love for my elastic band is needed. Okay, ALL the love.
And strettttchhhhh. I'd possibly love this if my knees were over my toes.
I actually really like this one (shitty turnout aside).
Now, some motion!
At first, I was not aware that my feet were so far apart.
Better...ish. (took off the top because I need to face being able to see myself like this. Ick.)
At the front desk after. Where are the students?!
Though I'm not exactly proud of these photos, it gives me something (everything) to work on. But I'm sure I'll have this next Monday to work on things too. *sigh*

Crucial Points of Every Destination Wedding
- UPDATED Jan 08, 2019
- 507 Views
Planning travel around destination
Top attractions
You might be short of time, but this is one golden opportunity you have, to explore a new destination. Make sure you include at least the top 5 attractions in your travel plans. Scoping out close by countries and destinations too is a good idea (especially if the destination is Europe).
Skip the not-so-important functions
You sure are present for the wedding, but you don't have to feel guilty to skip a few small ceremonies. Especially, when it comes to the seamless rituals and functions of an Indian wedding, its a great idea to head out. As most of these functions are also more relevant to the immediate family.
Local transport
Local transport can be fun, with respect to the destination. For example, old-charm tram, a tuk-tuk or even a green-coloured autorickshaw might suddenly find a place of admiration in your heart! Plus, this is the easiest way to get around. Ask locals about the best option!
Food affair
You cannot possibly be at a novel destination and not get a taste of its vivers! An indulgence in local fare is a must and we can't stress enough on this. Galouti kebabs, laal maas, tom kha kai, bricelets de benichon waffles, poi; we can go on!
Retail therapy
Authentic local handllom, vivid textile, embroideries, fabrics, local art and handicrafts make as great souvenirs of the destination and will also double up as a memory from the wedding! So get your hands on some.
Packing checklist for a destination wedding
Clothes for the occasion; let's not forget the purpose
In all the excitement of going to a destination, do not forget you are going there with the primary motive of attending a wedding! Sincerely, this is an absolute possibility. So don't forget to pack your outfits for the wedding.
A portable safe for all the valuables
Appropriate clothing to explore locales
Hair and makeup to look gorgeous
Image source: kaboompics.com
Done with the attires, don't forget to pack in the makeup and hair kit. It is easy to forget this one because exploring new places sans makeup is the best thing ever. But a wedding does require you to look your best, so throw in all the glitz and glam equipment!
A good camera to capture the beautiful memories and more
Pairs of shoes for activities and adventures
Personally, I always tend to forget to pack an extra pair only to regret later! To avoid this, make sure you've got all the required footwear. One obviously for the wedding events and the other to explore the area. You might walk a lot perhaps, or it may be cold, or really sandy, or you chose to take up some adventure activity, so pack accordingly.
Medications that you are on/ may need
Apart from all your daily medications that you may be taking, carrying a first-aid kit is also advisable. Also, it's a good idea to carry other medication that you might require for say motion sickness, vertigo, sleep, or altitude sickness.
