The Cardinals won 100 games it in spite of Wainwright making only four starts. It barely fazes them, not after what they endured a year ago. The Cardinals will tell you they’re better than a year ago, too, even after the season-ending loss of starter Lance Lynn (Tommy John surgery), and shortstop Jhonny Peralta, who could miss the entire first half with a torn thumb ligament. “I’m going to stay out of that, and just talk about the Cardinals.’’ “Those Cubs’ fans love to have me put words in (their) mouths, so they can send me mean tweets and stuff. “I’m not going to even think about the Cubs,’’ Wainwright said. But whether people pick us there or not, it makes no difference.ĭoes he share some of his teammates’ views that the Cubs could crumble under the weight of surreal expectations, leaving them as the next Washington Nationals? “But now it comes down to going out and play, and seeing what happens. “The Cubs have rightfully earned their hype,’’ Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright said. Manager Joe Maddon’s creative spring training antics only earn more attention. The Cubs won 97 games last year, and after stealing outfielder Jason Heyward and starter John Lackey from the Cardinals and signing second baseman Ben Zobrist, they may even be better. They ended the Cardinals’ season when they knocked them out in the playoffs for the first time in storied rivalry. The Cardinals certainly understand the hype surrounding the Cubs. “Now, we get a chance to do some hunting.’’ “All I know is that we feel great about ourselves. But it will be interesting to see how the Cubs handle that expectation. “Since I’ve been here, we’ve always been the team to beat. “It’s unchartered territory, at least for me,’’ Cardinals third baseman Matt Carpenter said. They’ve had just one losing season since the turn of the century. They’ve earned postseason berths five consecutive years, won three consecutive NL Central titles, and reached the World Series four times in the last 12 years. Most of these Cardinals have no idea what it’s like to play a regular-season schedule and immediately head home. “We’re going into this like every other year, preparing to play deep into October.’’ “The Cubs can have all of that hype,’’ Cardinals first baseman Matt Adams told USA TODAY Sports. Yet, instead of being angry, or inspired to cite their four National League pennants since 2000 or their 100-win NL Central campaign of 2015, the Cardinals appear almost amused by it. No one in baseball is garnering more attention this spring than those lovable Cubs, who not only are heavily favored to win the National League, but capture their first World Series championship since the Theodore Roosevelt administration in 1908. Their friends and family talk about them, their fans curse them, and you can’t get away from them this spring.

With Square Enix already asking for patience, it seems safe to assume that almost everyone - paid and free - will run into a lengthy queue sometime during the next week. That has led to a contingent of FF14 players giving the login queue the Savage difficulty modifier, a reference to some of the most challenging content in the game. ![]() Players will be able to choose the instance they want in order to meet up with friends, and Square will attempt to place all party members into the same instance when traveling. Square Enix also plans to instance certain new areas that experience a lot of congestion - meaning that multiple players on the same world will be staggered into copies of the map. Players may run into these lines when grouping up for instanced content (dungeons, etc.) during main scenario quests. There will also be some new in-game queues. To help ease the queue situation, players who are AFK for longer than 30 minutes will automatically be logged out. No accounts will be able to make new characters during congested periods either, so Square is encouraging players to create them during less busy times. Free Trial players will still be able to log in, but only after the paying players have gotten in. Paying players will get priority in the queue, meaning they’ll get to log in faster. Once in the queue, things will work a little differently for players, depending on the version they play. Square Enix has already apologized for what promises to be a very lengthy queue. The studio blames the influx of new players and the semiconductor shortage, which has prevented the team from adding new Worlds for players to log into. 7 - warning about the severity of the queue, and what players should expect.įirst, Square clarifies that it expects Endwalker’s launch to be more congested than previous launches. ![]() It includes best practices for logging in during the new Endwalker expansion’s early-access period - which starts Friday, ahead of the official launch on Dec. I've been waiting in queue for weeping city of mhach for 45 minutes and i made sure to get into the game and queue just before reset just in case. Square Enix addressed player concerns about congestion with a lengthy blog post on the Final Fantasy 14 website.

Thankfully, there are some easy solutions to help pass the time while waiting for the queue in FFXIV. The most obvious of these, of course, is reading through the 6.0 patch notes for Endwalker. Related: FFXIV: The Fastest Way To Level Reaper And Sage Still, wait times seem even longer if players are simply staring at the screen and watching as the number of people in the queue gets smaller and smaller. Ahead of Patch 6.0's release, Square Enix warned players that server congestion in FFXIV would likely be an issue, giving fans plenty of time to prepare for long wait times and queues. FFXIV is more popular than ever, and both longtime fans and newcomers are eager to see what the expansion has to offer - as well as how the story of Zodiark will end. The simple fact is, many people are eager to start Endwalker. ![]() Unlimited data syncing if you use your UChicago email address.

The engine is in a boat, which means it usually relies on the surrounding water for coolant. The operating environment for marine engines is also entirely different. That’s the equivalent of a car engine needing an overhaul every 12,000 to 15,000 miles! An engine (or pair of engines) in a big offshore boat, on the other hand, might go 200 to 250 hours before they need work. An engine in a pleasure boat might go six or eight seasons before it needs to be rebuilt. A performance boat might spend 5 percent of its time idling, and 95 percent of its running time at wide open throttle at speeds as high as 8,000 rpm.īecause of these loads, marine engines don’t last like automotive engines. The typical marine engine in a pleasure boat might spend 10 percent of its time idling, maybe 60 percent of its running time at cruising speed (4,000 rpm), and maybe 10 to 30 percent of its time running at wide open throttle (5,500 to 6,500 rpm). Stern drives typically have 1:1 gear ratios, so the engine has to pull much harder compared to an automotive engine that has gear reduction in the transmission, and addition gear reduction in the differential. It’s like permanently hooking up a heavy trailer behind your car or truck and driving around in 4th gear. Marine engines work a lot harder than automotive engines, experiencing much higher loads. Though a marine engine would seem to be pretty much the same thing as an engine for a car or a truck, marine engines are a different breed of motor according to those who build them. Fuel injection is used on 80 to 90 percent of these engines, and many are running custom marine camshafts that alter the firing order between cylinders 4 and 7 to smooth out the idle characteristics of the engine. Many of these engines are also supercharged or turbocharged and develop upwards of 1,200 hp on pump gas (93 octane). Many of the engines that are find their way into offshore performance boats are monsters with 600 or more cubic inches of displacement. The boats are also getting bigger (and heavier), and that means a need for even larger and more powerful engines. The big boys who have big bucks to spend on their toys are spending more and more every year to be a little faster than the next guy. Those who cater to this niche also say that the high end of the marine engine market seems to be absolutely recession-proof. Many of these people are into serious power boating and think nothing of spending $20,000 to $80,000 or more on a serious, high performance big block marine engine – and some of these boats run two engines! As one marine engine builder said, “There are a lot of million dollar boats on the water these days.” These are the people who have the disposable income to buy boats, and more importantly marine engines. Over the next decade, more people will be entering the 40-and-older group. Even so, the market appears to be growing and poised for even more growth in the years ahead.Īccording to the National Marine Manufacturers Association, over 72 million people own some kind of a motorized boat or watercraft. Some rebuilders estimate the size of the marine engine market to be fairly small, perhaps less than 130,000 engines per year, including all types of inboard and outboard engines. The marine engine market is relatively healthy, though highly competitive. His post-Bond films included such forgettable efforts as "The Quest" with Jean-Claude Van Damme and "Spice World" with the Spice Girls. ![]() He continued to work regularly in films after handing over Bond to Timothy Dalton, but never with the same success. And while the Bond of the Ian Fleming novels that the films were based on was generally described as being in his 30s, Moore would stay with the role until he was 57. He would make six more, "The Man With the Golden Gun," ''The Spy Who Loved Me," ''Octopussy," ''Moonraker," ''For Your Eyes Only and "A View to a Kill" over the next 12 years. Three years later, he made his first Bond film, "Live and Let Die." With the company, he co-starred with Tony Curtis in "The Persuaders!" for British television and was involved in producing "A Touch of Class," which won a best-actress Oscar for Glenda Jackson. In 1970, he became managing director for European production for Faberge's Brut Productions. He appeared opposite Elizabeth Taylor in 1954's "The Last Time I Saw Paris" and with Eleanor Parker in "Interrupted Melody" the following year. He played a few small roles in theater and films before his mandatory army duty, then moved to Hollywood in the 1950s. In the 1970s, film critic Vincent Canby would dismiss Moore's acting abilities as having "reduced all human emotions to a series of variations on one gesture, the raising of the right eyebrow."īorn in London, the only child of a policeman, Moore had studied painting before enrolling in the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. Such success followed a Time magazine review of one of his earliest films, 1956's "Diane," in which his performance opposite Lana Turner was dismissed as that of "a lump of English roast beef." By the time the series, which also aired in the United States, ended in 1969, his partnership with its producers had made him a wealthy man. In England, he had a long-running TV hit with "The Saint," playing Simon Templar, the enigmatic action hero who helps put wealthy crooks in jail while absconding with their fortunes. 1950s-60s TV series "Maverick" as Beauregarde Maverick, the English cousin of the Wild West's Maverick brothers, Bret and Bart. He was remembered warmly by fans of the popular U.S. The actor, who came to the role in 1973 after Connery tired of it, had already enjoyed a long career in films and television, albeit with mixed success. While he never eclipsed Sean Connery in the public's eye as the definitive James Bond, Moore did play the role of secret agent 007 in just as many films as Connery did, and he managed to do so while "finding a joke in every situation," according to film critic Rex Reed. So you have to treat the humor outrageously as well." What kind of serious spy is recognized everywhere he goes? It's outrageous. Every bartender in the world offers him martinis that are shaken, not stirred. "I mean, this man is supposed to be a spy and yet, everybody knows he's a spy. "To me, the Bond situations are so ridiculous, so outrageous," he once said. ![]() Moore's relaxed style and sense of whimsy, which relied heavily on the arched eyebrow, seemed a commentary on the essential ridiculousness of the Bond films, in which the handsome British secret agent was as adept at mixing martinis, bedding beautiful women and ordering gourmet meals as he was at disposing of super-villains trying to take over the world. Moore began his acting career as an extra in the 1940s before studying at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.Dozens of Pride flags snapped by vandals at Stonewall National Monument in Manhattan “I’ve not done badly for a boy from Stockwell, where I used to gaze at the silver screen in wonderment, little realising I’d be a part of this magical world,” he wrote in his autobiography, My Word Is My Bond. Moore was also one of the last of the old-style movie stars, who counted Frank Sinatra and David Niven among his friends and lived in luxury in Switzerland and the French Riviera.īorn Roger George Moore, on Octoin the London suburb of Stockwell, he was the only son of a police constable and his wife, and had a happy childhood. ![]() Known for his ironically raised eyebrow and deadpan quips, Moore’s take on the suave superspy was more tongue-in-cheek than that of his manly predecessor Sean Connery.īut he outgunned Connery and all the other actors to have played 007 by taking the role he fondly called “Jimmy Bond” in a record number of seven films.

They are also highly sought for their use in the illegal pet trade. Their slow reproductive rate does not allow for a fast recovery if a local population looses several individuals in a given amount of time. This causes local populations to decline or become extirpated from an area. Habitat destruction and fragmentation isolate individuals from finding mates and food. © Ben Wurstīox turtles are fairly common throughout their range however, their population is declining in New Jersey. Zoom+ Box turtles are easily identified by their bright coloration and unique shell. They do not require food during their first summer or fall before going into hibernation. Young either remain in the nest after hatching, emerge and go directly into hibernation, or emerge and explore for a few days to weeks, then hibernate. Females deposit eggs in a hole that she digs in loose or sandy soil and sometimes in lawns. Mating begins shortly after individuals emerge from hibernation. They can live up to 20 years in the wild. Individuals become reproductive at 4 to 5 years in age. Some hibernate at depths up to two feet deep. They burrow into loose soil, vegetative debris, and/or loose sand, and sometimes in the mud of stream bottoms. Adults eat large quantities of fungi and particularly like berries and fruits from trees and shrubs.īox turtles are cold-blooded and in the northern parts of their range hibernate from late October until April. Young turtles eat earthworms, snails, insect larvae, and some vegetative matter. Young turtles eat more insects, while adults eat more plant matter. Changes in food preference occur during different seasons and life stages. If you find an injured one and do transport it to a state certified rehabilitator record the animals location and make sure to inform the rehabilitator so it can be re-released where it was found.īox turtles are omnivores. It is very important to not take a box turtle from its habitat and relocate it. If box turtles are removed from their territories and placed in an unfamiliar area, then they may die while trying to find their way back home. Researchers found that their territories are around 250 square yards or less. They like water, but are not adapted for swimming in water.īox turtles have very small home ranges. They are usually not far from streams or ponds, however, during rainy weather they may roam farther from water. They are often seen in neighborhood backyards in rural and suburban areas. Box turtles inhabit open woodlands and meadows. It can be found in all of the 21 counties in New Jersey. The eastern box turtle occurs in the eastern United States from central Maine south to southern Georgia and Alabama and west into Wisconsin and Illinois. The plastron of males is slightly concave. Younger turtles are more vibrantly colored than older ones. Individuals can appear very different in coloration. Both have yellow, orange, olive, or tan on their carapace and plastron that is contrasted by a light or dark black background. ![]() Sexes are slightly similar in appearance. Male box turtles can be identified by their red eyes. ![]() This is meant to protect the turtle from predators, especially the neighborhood dog. The plastron (bottom of shell) is hinged and can close very tightly, in front and in rear. Its carapace (top of shell) is high and shaped like a dome. ![]() Box turtles range in length from only 4″ up to 8.5″. They are the most terrestrial turtle found in the Garden State. They are unmistakable for their bright coloration and unique shell. The eastern box turtle ( Terrapene carolina carolina) is a very well known turtle in New Jersey. The eastern box turtle is a very well known turtle in New Jersey, however in recent years their population has been in decline. For children 6 months to 5 years, spica casting (with or without pre-casting traction) has been shown by multiple studies to give good results.(Rasool, 1989 Burton, 1972) In patients 5-11 years of age, femur fractures may be treated with flexible nails, submuscular or open plating, or external fixation. Femur fractures in a child under 6 months are typically well-treated in a Pavlik harness or spica cast. No clear consensus has been reached regarding optimal treatment, despite attempts at the creation of formal guidelines.(Kocher, 2010) There are a number of trendswhich have emerged to help guide management based on the above characteristics. Treatment of femur fractures varies by age, fracture pattern, mechanism, weight of the child, and associated injuries. Open fractures are classified by the system of Gustilo and Anderson.(Gustilo, 1976) Transverse fractures are considered “length-stable” and some oblique or comminuted fractures are considered “length-unstable”. Stability of the fracture influences treatment. Level of the fracture on the femur is important, as displacement of the fracture pieces is characteristic based on the muscle attachment points and the forces applied to the fractured pieces. Fracture patterns include: transverse, short oblique, spiral, and comminuted. Plain radiographs are usually sufficient for establishing the diagnosis and for preoperative planning.įractures are classified by pattern, location, stability, and whether the fractures are open or closed. X-ray evaluation should include the whole femur, as associated injuries such as an ipsilateral physeal fracture about the knee or a femoral neck fracture can occur. Hemodynamic instability and significant drop in hematocrit are rarely present in a child with an isolated femur fracture and should alert the physician to look for associated injuries.(Ciarallo, 1996 Lynch, 1996) However, more subtle findings may be present in the small child. Typical physical exam findings associated with femur fracture include: deformity, thigh swelling, and pain. In the setting of suspected femur fracture, it is critical that the entire child is examined as associated injuries are common. Fifteen percent of femur fractures in children under 2 years and up to 80% of fractures before walking age are the result of non-accidental trauma.(Loder, 2006 Beals, 1983 Blakemore, 1996 Gross, 1983) Transverse fractures may be a better predictor of nonaccidental trauma in young children as compared to spiral fractures.(Murphy, 2015) In younger children, a fall is the most common mechanism. Falls and motor vehicle collisions are the most common mechanisms of injury, accounting for approximately two thirds of the injuries in older children. There is a bimodal age distribution of fractures, first in early childhood then again peaking in adolescence. ![]() Males more commonly sustain femur fractures, as they account for greater than 70% of injuries. Trauma is the leading cause of death and disability in children.(Waller, 1989 Haller, 1983 Peclet, 1990) When evaluated in the late 1990’s, orthopaedic trauma led to 84,000 hospital admissions annually and a cost of nearly a billion dollars.(Galano, 2005) Femur fractures were the most common reason for admission in this group. Surgical treatment has reduced the burden of care for families, shortened hospital stays, and decreased the early disability and disruption in the families’ lives.(Hughes, 1995 Karn, 1986 Kirby, 1981 Buechsenschuetz, 2002) Treatment varies by age, weight, and fracture patternįemoral diaphyseal fractures account for nearly 2 percent of all bony injuries in children, and are the most common orthopedic injury requiring hospitalization.(Sahlin, 1990 McCartney, 1994 Flynn, 2004) In the past, femur fractures in all children were commonly treated with immediate spica casting or a period of traction followed by casting.(Flynn, 2001) Non-surgical treatment with spica casting remains the standard for infants and toddlers less than 5 years however, school-age children are now more commonly undergoing surgical intervention.Adolescents have adult-like mechanism for femur fracture (high energy) and associated injuries are common.Most common femur fracture type in a child is closed, transverse, and non-comminuted.Femur fracture in a child before walking age is suspicious for non-accidental trauma. |
