Re-Run: Future Hall of Fame, First Basemen

I have always figured there were a lot of first basemen in the Hall of Fame. I assumed that, since they are usually the best hitters, they would look more impressive to voters.

Not so. Only eight first basemen have been elected by writers to the Hall of Fame. Granted, this doesn’t count odd cases, like the exception of Lou Gehrig, or several players (such as Johnny Mize and Orlando Cepeda) who, while now thought of as legends, actually had to wait for the Veterans Committee to elect them.

But enough with the history lesson. The position is currently loaded with talent, making it difficult to appreciate it all. Nevertheless, I feel like, within thirty years, the likes of these players may even double the number of first basemen in Cooperstown.

Jim Thome As I recall, there was some doubt that Thome was a Hall of Famer back when he hit his 500th home run. That was back in 2007, and since then, he’s compiled 74 more. At 39, he’s still going strong, thanks in part to a switch to DH when he returned to the AL. He looks like a lock for 600 home runs (and, by extension, the Hall), and has a ridiculously strong .277/.404/.557 line for his career (batting average/on-base percentage/slugging percentage). For those who are a fan of players with a strong peak, he had an OBP of .385 or better and a slugged .500 or better every year from 1995 to 2007 (with the exception of 2005, when, in 59 games, his OBP was “merely” .360). Despite logging over 660 games at DH, he still has played more games at first (over 1100). For one last stat, he has amassed 71.2 WAR for his career (Wins Above Replacement; it’s an advanced stat that tries to account for every part of a player’s game. Players with 60 usually have a good shot at the Hall, while players with 70 or more are mostly locks).

Jason Giambi He has a very good peak; every year, from 1999 to 2006, he hit at least 30 home runs, got on base at .400 or better, and slugged .500 or better every year (with the exception of an injuried-riddled 2004). He has 412 homers, 1899 hits, and a .282/.405/.525 line. However, I don’t think he has a great chance of getting in the Hall. Giambi is currently 39, and has not held together nearly as well as Thome has. Giambi also played during a peak of offensive numbers, at a position that is usually reserved for hitter, making it hard to stand out. He also stands at 54.3 WAR, which would be borderline at most positions other than first base (it is worth noting that his defense has cost him around 6.5 wins). Giambi has had a solid career, but the Hall doesn’t look likely to come calling for him.

Todd Helton Helton actually has a much better chance at the Hall than his teammate, Giambi. However, the last few years of his career will be critical in securing his place in the Hall. As it stands, he has 2195 hits, 519 doubles, 327 homers, and a .325/.424/.557 line. However, he’s only 36, so he has time to bring those numbers up. However, this season has been the worst of his career, and has actually brought many of his stats down. For example, his WAR for this year has been -0.4, which has brought him down to 59.9 for the career. This may just be due to injury; last year, he hit .325/.416/.489, and posted 3.8 WAR. If he can rebound to numbers even somewhat below those for three to five more years, he can probably lay claim to a spot in Cooperstown. The fact that he has played his entire career for one team helps, as those players usually receive a boost in the Hall chances.

Derrek Lee You probably haven’t thought much of Lee as a Hall of Fame candidate, and, really, you probably don’t need to. However, as I said about Jason Kendall in my catchers article, he’s likely better than you think. He never had the peak of Jason Giambi or Jim Thome, or even Todd Helton, but he has been remarkably solid for a long time. He’s posted 1776 hits, 393 doubles, 303 home runs, and a .282/.367/.497 line. But, his 36.9 WAR is underwhelming. Also, he’s playing at a strong position offensively, and he doesn’t quite stand out of the bunch much. Also against him is that he’s 34, and his numbers are declining. Like Helton, he was strong last year, and could rebound. However, Helton has a better case to build off of.

Paul Konerko Konerko is fairly similar to Derrek Lee. His 1777 hits, 325 doubles, 346 home runs, and .278/.354/.494 line are virtually indistinguishable from Lee’s numbers. They’re both in their 14th season in the Major Leagues, and they’re both 34. So most of the same things apply. However, there are two major differences. First, Konerko has only accumulated 27 WAR, so he has more ground to make up than Lee. Second, Konerko is currently in the midst of (arguably) his best season yet. Only time will tell whether it’s an anomaly or a trend, but I would still bet against him, in either case.

David Ortiz Ortiz lands here because I don’t know where else to put him. He’s the only candidate I could think of who has played most of his games at DH, and I didn’t want to make a separate article for one player. So, even though Ortiz has only played 248 games at first (compared to 1525 total), he’s in this article.

Big Papi has a slightly better chance at the Hall than Konerko or Lee, but his odds still aren’t great. He does have 1524 hits, 335 home runs, and a .281/.377/.545 line. Now, the negatives. He still hasn’t reached any milestones, and doesn’t look likely to. He only has 34.3 WAR for his career. He has primarily been a DH in his career. And lastly, he’s 34 and declining. He’s started slow two seasons in a row, both times prompting calls for his release. And, even this year, his numbers show some disturbing trends under the surface-his OPS against lefties is .578, compared to 1.092 against righties. His stats this year show decline as the game wears on (his splits are much lower for the sixth inning on). And, his contract is nearing its end. I’m not sure many teams will be willing to spend on a DH who can’t hit lefties, or after the fifth inning. However, he does have one thing; he played very well, for a large market, and had some notable clutch moments. I wouldn’t be shocked to see the Jim Rice Most Feared Slugger of His Time Card™.

Lance Berkman Lance Berkman will end up being considered as a first baseman. It is interesting to note, though, that he has played over 950 games in the outfield, compared to almost 700 at first. The switch hitter has 325 home runs, 1641 hits, and a .297/.410/.551 line. Also, his 55.6 WAR puts him in a good position. Again, though, he’s 34. He was good last year, but started off fairly weak this year (mostly due to an injury, though, so make of that what you will). He does have the one team thing going for him, and it’s even his hometown team, to boot. However, I don’t know how much longer that will last, or how much a trade would hurt his candidacy. For now, though, I would put his chances at least equal to Todd Helton’s, if not better.

Albert Pujols
The Man. The Myth. The Legend.

All melodrama aside, Pujols is a lock for Cooperstown, possibly the only one with a case close to Thome’s. And, believe it or not, if he had retired prior to this season, he wouldn’t even be eligible for the Hall; you need to play ten seasons to make the ballot, and Pujols is currently in his tenth. Consider these numbers: 2001 Rookie of the Year, nine-time All-Star, three-time MVP (as well as three-time runner-up), 1816 hits, 387 home runs, 1176 RBI, a .332/.426/.625 line, and 76.7 WAR. The fewest home runs he’s had in a full season is 32. The lowest OPS (on base-plus slugging) he’s had in his career is .955. The fewest WAR he’s had in a full season is 5.7. He is the second player, after Lou Gehrig, to record nine straight seasons with a .300 average, 30 doubles, 30 homers, and 100 RBI. And the man is only 30.

Adam Dunn Adam Dunn is an interesting player to watch. I’ve seen him play several times, and it’s always an experience. Usually he hits at least one home run, and gets at least one other hit. But then there’s always one play that’s memorable because it’s odd-for example, he accidentally grounds out to the pitcher, or misses second base on another player’s hit. It’s always an adventure, though.

He has the potential to be an extreme form of Jim Thome. At 30, he’s already up to 338 home runs, and has a .252/.383/.524 line. I want this to be mostly my thoughts, but it is interesting to note that this Bill James stat calculator projects that he has a 97% chance of reaching 500 home runs, and a 48% chance of reaching 600.

That said, it’s criminal that no AL team has picked him up yet. The man is awful on defense. I can’t imagine someone worse in the field, short of a player with both of his feet nailed to the ground (and only both of them; you only nail one foot down, and he could give Dunn a run for his money). This is the textbook case of why we have a DH, and yet, only NL teams have ever wanted him. His WAR is a low 26.8, mostly because he’s given back nearly 12 (!!!) wins in the field.

I’d still say he has a good chance to make the Hall. If he becomes a DH, his WAR should jump, and it’ll be harder to argue against him. His offense will be good either way, though, and that’s what most voters look at, particularly round numbers, like 600.

Mark Teixeira Teixeira feels like yet another strong candidate. He’s certainly more well-rounded than Adam Dunn. Teixeira has been excellent with the glove, contributing nearly 4 wins with just his glove in his career(for reference, that is well-above anything I’ve seen while writing this article, even counting longer-tenured players). Batting-wise, the 30 year-old has 1254 hits, 259 home runs, and a .287/.377/.538 line. His 34.6 WAR is impressive, as he’s only in his eighth season. Accumulating rings in New York will likely only help his case. So far, he’s very well-rounded, and it’s very hard to find any major flaw in his career that might hurt his odds.

Miguel Cabrera Miguel Cabrera feels like he’s been around forever; indeed, he’s in his eighth season right now (it is substantially less than forever, but you get my point). You may be surprised to learn this, but Cabrera is only 27. Yes, he is only now ENTERING his prime. There is a very good chance he could have several more seasons like the one he is having now. He already has 1328 hits, 280 doubles, and 231 home runs, to go along with a .314/.386/.550 line. Also, he’s already at 34.9 WAR. There are many players one this list who could be borderline Hall of Famers. Miguel Cabrera doesn’t look to be one of them.

Justin Morneau After this long string of players making a strong case for the Hall, Morneau feels almost like a small disappointment. He’s 29, and since becoming a starter in 2005, he has 995 hits, 215 doubles, 181 homers, and a .286/.358/.511 line. His WAR stands at 21.4, even with around 2.8 coming from defense (after Teixeira, that is one of the better numbers I’ve seen while writing this). He’s been good, but he doesn’t quite measure up to some of the other candidates on this list. He is having his best season yet this year, so he might still add to his case.

Kevin Youkilis Kevin Youkilis is kind of similar to Justin Morneau in some regards. He became a starter a year after Morneau, and has 791 hits, 193 doubles, 111 homers, and 23.5 WAR. He even has about 2.9 wins from defense (as a side note, are first basemen becoming better fielders? It seems like a lot of the good fielding first basemen debuted in a short span of time. I don’t remember a lot of the fielding stats jumping out at me, then remembered I didn’t check Albert Pujols’ fielding. Pujols has nearly 6 wins from fielding in his career. Incredible.)

Back to Youkilis; he defers from Morneau in three major areas. Youkilis’ slash stats are .292/.393/.497. So, Youkilis’ slugging is slightly worse than Morneau’s, but he gets on base at a much higher rate. Second, Youkilis is already 31 years old, two year more than Morneau. The last one is the oddest though; Youkilis has been consistently improving since he got to the majors. Even at 31. His OPS has increased each year. His WAR has increased every year, with the exception of a one-year downturn between his first and second half-seasons. I would say his chances aren’t great, but, with that sort of trend line, he might be one to watch.

Ryan Howard The case for Ryan Howard is not as cut-and-dry as it has been for some of the others on this list. But more on that in a minute.

Howard is 30, and, after six seasons, has 851 hits, 239 home runs, and a .281/.373/.577 line. One potential problem could be his penchant for striking out (964 times), but it is unlikely a writer will sway their opinion entirely on a high strikeout total. His 22.6 WAR could prove more of a problem-even if you project him out to 50 WAR for his career, that still doesn’t get him into Hall territory. But neither of those is one of the potential game-changers I mentioned earlier.

The first is reputation. Howard plays in a large market, and is widely viewed as the leader of a World Series team (regardless of whether he was the best player). Even if his numbers don’t get into Hall of Fame range, a vocal group could trot out the Jim Rice Most Feared Slugger of His Time Card™, even though that it’s tough to argue he’s even the most feared at his position. That sort of event can be unpredictable though.

Second, he just signed one of the largest contracts in baseball. However, that contract runs for his age 32 to 36 seasons. There are plenty of ways this could go wrong (I would recommend reading Joe Posnanski’s take, if you have time) If he does poorly for even part of the life of the contract, he could leave a bad taste in many voters’ mouths.

Prince Fielder Prince Fielder is sort of like Morneau, in that, while they’re both good, they have a harder time standing out in a very talented group. He’s in his fifth full season, and, at 26, has 180 home runs, 761 hits, a .281/.383/.544 line, and 18.8 WAR. His body type doesn’t suggest towards aging well, but you never know. I would say check back in a few years.

Adrian Gonzalez Gonzalez is a good hitter, but is plagued with the unfortunate condition know as “playing half of your games in the long ball graveyard that is Petco Park” (it’s a long-winded, but well-named affliction). The 28-year old in his fifth season, and has 155 home runs, 820 hits, and a .283/.366/.509 line. He also seems to be in the second year of his peak, as he continues last season’s stellar numbers.. It’s worth noting that WAR, which takes park affects into account, already has him at 20.3 WAR.

Billy Butler I hear about Billy Butler a lot, as a regular reader of Royals fan and writer Joe Posnanski. At 24, he’s in his fourth season, and already has 507 hits, 49 homers, 122 doubles, 5.3 WAR, and a .297/.355/.458 line. Also note that he is still showing signs of improvement. He could be another one to watch closely in the next few years.

Joey Votto Votto has already attracted national attention, with his perfectly-executed plan of not being named to the All-Star Game despite MVP numbers. This is his third season, and, at 26, he has 431 hits, 75 homers, 12.8 WAR, and a .311/.396/.548 line. Also, it looks like he’s beginning a great run of seasons. It’s still a little early to tell for sure, but Votto’s off to a great start.

Too Early to Project: Ike Davis; Kendry Morales; James Loney

For various reasons, I felt I had to mention these players. Ike Davis was only just called up this year, so I don’t feel like I have enough to work with.

I think Morales and Loney are still too young to rule out for certain, but their numbers still haven’t matched up to the players on this list.

People With Mullets Can Now Download Movies

Wal*Mart is starting their own online video download service today. They'll be offering movies and TV shows for a little less, generally, than Apple's similar iTunes service.

Unlike some offerings, Wal-Mart will not rent films online. The films can be played on a PC or transferred to Microsoft Windows Media-compatible portable digital players. The movies will not play on Apple computers or the popular iPod. Movies bought from the Wal-Mart store also can't be burned onto a DVD, although the company said it hopes to offer the option by the end of the year. Wal-Mart says it doesn't expect digital sales to cannibalize its retail DVD business for many years. "Customers have a growing interest in downloading video content, but complementary and supplemental to buying content on DVD," Kevin Swint, Wal-Mart's divisional manager for digital media, told The Associated Press.

You can't burn it to a DVD, the article explains. Yeah, and those dinosaurs in Jurassic Park are never going to get loose, either. Read it.

Rockets Top Trail Blazers 126-113 In ‘Statement Game’

WILL GRUBB, Sports Radio 610

Houston (CBS Houston) – The situation was eerily similar to last week’s second half collapse againts Oklahoma City. The Rockets scored 70 plus first half points against a team ahead of them in the standings. But instead of stalling in the second half, the Rockets withstood Portland’s run on their way to a 126-113 victory.

“They made a run in the third quarter,” Dwight Howard said. “Instead of us complaining, we got to the bench, we talked about what we needed to do and we got a good win against a very very good team.”

Chandler Parsons flirted with a triple double scoring a season high 31 points with ten rebounds and seven assists.

“It was definitely a statement game for myself and for our team,” Parsons said. “We really wanted to get this win at home against a good team.”

Portland was able to trim the lead to six in the second half, but unlike last week, the Rockets offense didn’t stall.

“They were scoring and we were scoring in the third quarter” Kevin McHale said. “We were having a hard time stopping them, but they were having a hard time stopping us.”

With Terrence Jones sidelined, Donatas Motiejūnas got the start and contributed nine points and nine rebounds. Patrick Beverley made his return from a broken hand to score 17.

“It was fun the crowd was good. We played a good team,” Beverley said. “We played really well today we could have got some more stops, but overall we played well.”

Most engineers are well-aware of the “K.I.S.S.” principle. This somewhat tongue-in-cheek saying, which stands for, “keep it simple, stupid,” states that most mechanical systems will work best if kept simple, rather than complex. It applies nicely to the cooling of data centers and server rooms.

Excess heat is an ongoing concern in these facilities. Although a range of specialized installed equipment is available for such applications, including precision cooling and split systems, portable air conditioners (also known as “spot coolers”) often can provide simple and flexible solutions at a fraction of the cost of permanent equipment. The K.I.S.S. method applies to the design of portable air conditioning equipment as well. The fewer the number of components, the less the chance of failure, as there are fewer things to go wrong or fail.

Today, a server room that once filled an entire building may be the size of a closet. The amount of heat generated by operating so much equipment in a small area poses difficult cooling challenges year-round. During summer, the cooling capacity of the central HVAC system usually is not sufficient to combat the high density server heat generated by information-technology (IT) equipment, especially during heat waves. During winter, the problem still exists in many facilities because of the lack of cooling equipment functionality and high ambient temperatures from heating the occupied space.

The trend toward server consolidation, which creates increasingly higher concentrations of electronics within tightly confined spaces, contributes further to the challenge. In tandem with consolidation, companies are striving to make data-center designs more flexible to allow for growth or change in the future.

It is vital to keep server-room temperatures at 68°F to 72°F, and relative humidity between 40 percent and 55 percent to prevent failure and maximize the life of IT equipment. Humidity control used to be even more critical, but improvements in hardware insulation have minimized electrostatic discharge and virtually eliminated electrical short circuits attributed to moisture buildup on hardware.

Overcome the ‘Temporary’ Misconception

How can portable air-conditioning equipment help HVAC engineers apply the K.I.S.S. principle for server-room cooling? The first step is to overcome the misconception that “portable” is synonymous with “temporary.” In fact, a portable cooler can run the gamut from short-term, emergency use to permanent installation. Here are the main applications involving server rooms and data centers:

  • Permanent cooling in leased spaces

    Many server rooms are located in leased facilities where landlords restrict or prohibit the installation of permanent HVAC equipment. Even where HVAC upgrades are allowed, lessees are reluctant to invest in built-in air-conditioning equipment that will be left behind in the event of a move. Portable cooling provides a cost-effective solution: It allows tenants to get the cooling they need for as long as they need it. Portable units can be transported to a new location or returned to the cooling supplier as the situation warrants.

  • Short- or long-term portable cooling to save on capital expenditures

    Operational-cost reduction is virtually a universal goal in today's economy. Portable cooling equipment is available on a daily, weekly, monthly, or long-term rental basis to satisfy cooling requirements without the need for an unwanted capital expenditure. And when a company elects to purchase the equipment, a spot cooler can be much kinder to the pocketbook than a conventionally installed system. In fact, a portable air-conditioning unit used in a permanent server-room application typically costs only 20 percent to 30 percent as much as a non-portable system of similar capacity, while still performing the required function.

    As an interesting sidelight, during winter, hot-air exhaust from a portable unit can be vented out of the computer room to heat a hallway outside, adding a green benefit.

  • Supplemental cooling of rooms where heat loads have increased

    Increased heat loads are a common event in server rooms, whether becuase of consolidation or expansion. Upgrading an installed HVAC system can be a costly proposition. Portables can bridge the gap, providing the needed supplemental cooling without the need for a large capital expenditure.

  • Emergency backup

    Portable coolers probably are best known for delivering emergency cooling in the event of a power outage or a primary cooling-system failure. Though rental units often are used for this purpose, some companies purchase one or more portable units to keep on hand for emergencies — especially for larger data centers. Portable units provide redundancy for installed cooling systems if a problem should occur, and can be called into action to maintain critical temperature and humidity control when primary HVAC equipment is down for service or repair.

  • Nighttime and weekend temperature setback for energy savings

    Although many facilities operate only during business hours, data rooms must remain online 24/7. It is a literal waste of energy and money to run an entire central building air-conditioning system around the clock just to keep a data room cool, yet this sometimes is what happens. A much more efficient approach is to install a portable cooling unit that is dedicated to the server room and set to operate when the central system is shut down or on nighttime or weekend setback. A portable air conditioner installed for this purpose quickly will pay for itself in HVAC energy savings vs. running the entire building central system.

System Sizing

When sizing portable cooling equipment, the rule of thumb is to plan on 3.413 Btuh per watt of power consumed in the space to be cooled. The total heat load will depend on a number of factors, including the presence of windows or other openings, the amount of insulation used, the size of the room, and how much cooling is being supplied by the existing central HVAC system. But the most important factor in determining the cooling capacity requirement for the space is to have an accurate reading of how many watts are being consumed in the space.

If the room uses an uninterruptable-power-supply (UPS) battery backup, you can take the maximum battery wattage and multiply by 3.413 Btuh to determine the “worst-case” cooling-capacity requirement for the space. Some larger UPS devices have a digital readout that specifies the total wattage being consumed by data-room equipment. This calculation should ensure that you will have adequate cooling capacity for a worst-case scenario, such as an extended heat wave or failure of the central system. It is not a bad idea to oversize portable equipment slightly to allow for these circumstances, as well as to prevent a spot cooler from becoming obsolete if you increase the heat load in a space.

The most common units of choice are the standard 110-volt models, which have a smaller footprint and can be quickly installed without an electrician.

Installation Scenarios

The next step is determining where to locate portable equipment for optimum performance and serviceability. Equipment location largely is dictated by floor-space constraints and where the hot air will be ducted. Will the unit be located inside or outside of the space to be cooled? This will have an impact on ducting and return air considerations.

Installation Configurations

The most common installation configurations are:

  • Unit inside the server room with single duct

    In this scenario, a single duct coming from the top of the portable cooler dissipates hot air into the return-air plenum or out of the space. This approach is advantageous where there is a central air-conditioning system running in the building at all times. As you direct hot air out of the room, the air must be replenished. The room being cooled by the portable unit will receive additional cooling from the main central system because the portable unit will be drawing negative pressure.

  • Unit inside the server room with dual ducts

    As noted earlier, one of the greenest applications for portable equipment is supplemental cooling during night or weekend temperature setback. Here, a condenser plenum typically is used on a unit with an additional duct (i.e., there will now be two ducts instead of one going to the drop ceiling). This creates a closed-loop system that no longer draws in negative pressure from the surrounding space. With the door shut, the space can be cooled independently, resulting in significant energy savings.

  • Unit outside the server room

    If a server room is so tightly configured that there is no place to position a portable unit, the challenge is to find a way to get the return-and cold-air supply ducted in and out of the room. The usual solution is to cut small openings in the drywall to insert the ductwork and cover up holes with grilles. If the portable installation is temporary, alternative solutions may be available using flexible ducting.

Although installing a portable cooler in a data center is clearly not quite as simple as “Wheel it in, and turn it on,” a portable still allows you to apply the K.I.S.S. principle. Precision cooling or split systems often necessitate openings in the roof or outer wall, as well as interior walls; the use of cranes and other equipment to install rooftop systems; the use of external copper piping that requires sweating and brazing; charging units with refrigerant; and/or, with split systems, installing the condensing unit in a viable outdoor location.

Additionally, because portable units are self-contained in a warmer environment where they always supply cold air, they are not subject to being locked out when cold temperatures shut down split systems to prevent liquid slugging and damage to compressors.

Maintenance Considerations

Wherever a portable unit is installed, you must make provisions for draining the condensate water generated by the cooling process. Condensate sometimes is collected in a self-contained bucket that must be emptied periodically, though sometimes this is not feasible for 24/7 operation. Sometimes, gravity-draining condensate is an option. But the most common application for 24/7 operation is the use of a condensate pump.

Be sure to consider seasonal factors as well. When winter arrives, close off any vents to the data center so that heat from the building's central system cannot enter the area. Re-evaluate your data-center cooling requirements now that supplemental air conditioning from the building no longer is available, and readjust settings on the portable unit as needed.

All in all, portable cooling equipment requires very little maintenance — and when it does, it is easy to access and service. If repair is needed, you can bring in a new unit and wheel out the malfunctioning one without risk of setting off the fire-suppression system as sometimes occurs with stationary units.

There are two primary types of portable air conditioners used in commercial applications: air-cooled units, which work by pumping in cool air and exhausting hot air through ductwork, and water-cooled units, which connect to an external water source, such as a central cooling tower or chiller system. Air-cooled portables most often are the system of choice for server rooms and data centers because they use air to reject heat. Water, the source for heat rejection in a water-cooled system, is less readily available, but sometimes is the only choice becuase of the lack of an appropriate “dump zone” for air-cooled heat rejection or because of floor-space constraints.

Always look for a high-quality commercial-grade unit designed to deliver continuous cooling. The low-cost portables available from home improvement retailers may be adequate for residential use, but they do not have the cooling capacity, wide range of operation, reliability, or durability needed for around-the-clock protection of critical electronics. Also, the low-cost units are limited to ducting lengths and only offer single-duct systems.

By working with a reputable portable-cooling supplier who carries multiple product lines, you can get unbiased advice on the best spot cooler for your application. A good supplier also should be able to help you make a rent-or-buy cost analysis that takes both your short- and long-term needs into account.

Make sure the unit you choose has an automatic restart feature so it will start up again automatically in the event of a power interruption. Also, have a backup generator ready in the event of a major power failure, and verify that the portable unit is designed to work on the backup circuitry. Some manufacturers incorporate fire-suppression features and programmable controls. Because portable units are exposed to a wide range of conditions year-round, low ambient controls are important to prevent damage to the compressor from liquid slugging.

Architect adviser revealed for multimillion-dollar Jackson Park project

Staff Writer

A Chicago lawyer spearheading the redesign of Jackson Park revealed new details at a Thursday talk at the Chicago Cultural Center, 78 E. Washington St.

Patricia O’Donnell, principal at Vermont-based Heritage Landscapes LLC, will guide the redesign of Jackson Park in accordance with Frederick Law Olmsted’s original 1895 plan for the park, according to attorney Robert Karr Jr. Karr, of law firm Masuda Funai, is leading Project 120, a redesign of Jackson Park, complete with a planned $10 million visitors center.

O’Donnell’s previous work includes projects at New York City’s Prospect Park and Boston’s Emerald Necklace – also designed by Olmsted.

“We’ve hired the A-list,” Karr said in an interview Friday.

A team from Heritage Landscapes led by O’Donnell will collaborate with Project 120 and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers — which is planning a restoration of the park — to draft a design plan for Jackson Park that Karr expects will be complete by July or August of this year.

“In order for there to be a success, this cooperation needs to occur, and it’s being coordinated by the Chicago Parks District,” Karr said.

Project 120’s cost is likely to change as the design process continues, according to Karr.

Dr. Bhubaneswar Borooah Cancer Institute| Guwahati Assam

Dr. Bhubaneswar Borooah Cancer Institute (BBCI) was set up by a voluntary organization called 'Dr. B. Borooah Cancer Society Trust'. Dr. Bhubaneswar Borooah (4th September 1893 - 25th September 1956) was a great physician, freedom fighter and philanthropist of Assam. In 1958 at a public meeting in Guwahati, a decision was taken to set up a cancer hospital at Guwahati to commemorate the memory of Dr. Bhubaneswar Borooah.

The Institute is located at Gopinath Nagar, Guwahati, Assam in a plot of land covering an area of 14.2 acres (43 bighas).

It is a 200-bedded Hospital at present. There is a 100 bedded guest house inside the hospital premises for ambulatory patients and their relatives. The Institute also has residential campus for the employees.

At present, there are 28 AC cabins out of which 18 are AC and 10 are non-AC cabins. There is a 8 bedded ICU which state of the art technology. The Institute has CSSD, Biomedical Waste Disposal Unit (Hydroclave System) and Hospital Laundry of its own.

A DBT Centre for Molecular Biology and Cancer Research was started in February 2010. The Institute has Population and Hospital Based Cancer Registry under National Cancer Registry Programme of Indian Council of Medical Research. It is involved in many research projects at present. Post Graduate Programmes in medical and para-medical subjects are also conducted by the Institute. Some of the courses are affiliated to Gauhati University. The Government of Assam has already issued NOC for affiliation of Dr. B. Borooah Cancer Institute under Srimanta Sankardeva University of Health Sciences, Assam. Inspection by team of experts from the University has been completed and the Institute is likely to be affiliated shortly. Dr. B. Borooah Cancer Institute has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Dutch School of Gynaecologic Oncology and Pelvic Surgery, Netherlands to start Post Graduate Fellowship Programme in Gynaecologic Oncology. Many research papers have been published from the Institute in the international journals.

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

It's SUMMER - the most wonderful time of the year for recreation professionals! We just love seeing everyone out and about in our community and enjoying our events and summer activities - plus the opening of our Salt City Splash Aquatic Center for the 2012 season!

In case you haven't had time to iron out your summer details, you still have time to register for our many youth leisure arts classes, youth Dillon Nature Center classes and Adventure Camp, swim lessons, and more!

We have plenty of family-friendly special events coming up, too, including a special Hutch Rec Night at the Hutchinson Monarchs baseball game on July 1st and the Firecracker 5K Run/Walk on July 7.

This weekend we have two FREE youth events: the annual Fishing Day at Dillon Nature Center (Saturday, June 2 at 9 a.m.), and the youth Hershey Track & Field Meet at Don Michael Fields (Sunday, June 3 at 1 p.m.). Registration is required so call DNC at 663-7411 and Hutch Rec at (620) 663-6179 to register.

Enjoy your summer...get out and about...and remember that Life is Great, Recreate!

How Did We Ever Survive?

As you may have heard, our Downtown Office fell victim to a dumpster fire this weekend. It happened early Sunday morning in our neighbors dumpster. We don't have all of the details yet, but fire officials say there have been other instances of dumpster fires occurring across town. So sad, so selfish, and so frustrating.

We're not letting it get us down, though! While our Downtown Office (AKA - Keller Leisure Arts Center) is closed this week and not holding any of its scheduled activities or events, we're plugging away by setting up temporary offices at our other two sites. Our wonderful customers may register for our spring and summer activities in person at Dillon Nature Center (3002 E. 30th Ave.), Elmdale Community Center (400 E. Ave. E), online at www.hutchrec.com, or by phone at (620) 663-6170/(620) 663-7411.

We're back to our "old school" days of no e-mail, either, which brings us to the question: How did we ever survive without it? Thank goodness for Web sites, social media, and our gmail address that will get us through until our server gets up and running again.

Thanks to our wonderful customers and the Hutch community for your patience. Stay tuned - more details to come!

A Little Bit o' Love

Happy Heart Month!

We LOVE our customers. Sappy, sure. But the customers are why we're here! We joke with other recreation professionals across the state that we work hard so that others can play. Truth is, though, a lot of us can admit that it sure doesn't feel like work when you LOVE your job, the people you work with, and the people you serve!

So Hutch Rec customers...THANKS for being so LOVEly.

That said, we have some LOVEly things going on right now. Our Run for the Rocks half-marathon (that we partner with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Hutchinson) has a Sweetheart Special going on right now. For only $45, you can register for our 2nd annual half-marathon in Hutchinson! Simply go to www.runfortherocks.com to register.

Our popular Salty Dog & Salty Pup Triathlons will kick off its 11th year when registration opens in less than a month. This year we're offering our wonderful competitors a LOVEly treat - chip timing! This will allow our competitors almost instantaneous results (not to mention it eases the headaches of our former timing guru, who happened to create - yes create! - his own version of a timing system using an Excel spreadsheet!). Registration opens up on March 1st at www.hutchrec.com.

The LOVEly ladies and cooks at the Elmdale 50-Plus Center will be hosting its annual Pancake Feed this coming Saturday, Feb. 11 from 8-11 a.m. Rayma and Charlotte are excellent cooks and make some tasty pancakes! Stop by and for just $4 you can eat all-you-can-eat flap jacks plus sausage, juice, and coffee. What a tasty way to spend a Saturday morning!

There are lots of other LOVEly activities and events going on in the coming weeks at Hutch Rec. Check out our complete schedule of activities and descriptions in our Winter Activity Guide, available at www.hutchrec.com.

Celebrate this season of LOVE at Hutch Rec, where we believe that Life is Great...Recreate!

More details (and the registration info) are available at www.runfortherocks.com. Happy Running!

Tuesday, January 3, 2012

Wow - it's been a while! Sorry for the lack of blogging. Maternity leave will do that to a marketing director! :) First off...Happy New Year! Our Hutch Rec family hopes you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year holiday and are refreshed and raring to go these first few days of 2012. So often people think winter is the "down time" for us recreation folks. That's SO not true! While we're swamped in the summer (we LOVE our summers and the people it brings to our doors!), we also gear up for the winter with several activities and events. They're not just indoors, either! Take, for instance, our programs out at Dillon Nature Center. Jim, Mary, Steve and company continue holding great educational programs for area students, along with Scout classes, preschool classes, and even family classes. Our sports department is busy with basketball - we have a record 500+ kiddos in our youth basketball program! - but they also are busy with volleyball leagues and are gearing up for Snowball Softball tournaments (they're offering a Men's Tournament on Feb. 11 and a Co-Ed tournament in early March). Tina has a great line-up of winter activities at Keller Leisure Arts Center. Winter is a great time to settle into a new hobby or re-learn an old skill. We've got fused glass, jewelry, woodcarving, stained glass, painting, and more. Plus, our preschool programs resume starting the week of Jan. 11. And let's not forget about the "most wonderful time" for our Wellness Center! Elmdale is buzzing these days with people wanting to amp up their fitness routine and make 2012 the year for health (or to maintain their health). We encourage you to check out Hutch's most economical fitness facility at 400 E. Ave. E. There are no joiner's fees or contracts and one-month memberships start as low as $16/month! Most people don't realize that we feature everything that other gyms have to offer - a cardio room complete with treadmills, ellipticals, stationary bikes; a weight room; ongoing fitness classes; racquetball courts; and locker room services. For our 50-Plusers, there are continuous activities (most of which are FREE!) going on each week at the Elmdale 50-Plus Center. Homemade lunches are served every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at noon and are just $3.50 for a delicious meal. Check out a complete list of activities in the Center's monthly newsletter, available online or at Elmdale. And how can we forget Special Populations basketball? It gears up at the end of this month! It's always a treat to see our athletes in action. So don't let winter time prohibit you from getting out and about. At Hutch Rec, we believe that Life is Great...Recreate - and that's all year long! Here's to a wonderful 2012 - one filled with physical, emotional, and social health! - Amy

Hutch's First-Ever Half Marathon!

In just 12 short days, Hutch Rec will be a part of history in the making! Hutch Rec is teaming up with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Hutchinson to host Hutch's first-ever half marathon - the Salt City Run for the Rocks on Sept. 25. Proceeds from our event benefit youth scholarships at Hutch Rec and the services the Boys and Girls Clubs provide. Think about the thousands of youth we benefit each year! We'd like to thank our generous sponsors, planning committtee, volunteers, staffs from both organizations, and our participants! Without your support, we wouldn't be able to pull off an event of this magnitude. To date we have about 250 runners/walkers with hopes of having 350 compete! If you're interested in competing or volunteering, feel free to check out www.runfortherocks.com. There you'll find ALL of the information you need - plus more! You can always reach me at aconkling@hutchrec.com if you have questions, too. I'd love to take on more volunteers!

Decade of the Dog

Well, it came...we conquered...and it went.

Last weekend the Hutch Rec crew put on our biggest special event of the year, the Salty Dog and Salty Pup Triathlons. And once again, it was a GREAT event! Each year we spend several hours going over the million little details it takes to put on a quality event. And each year (after the sleep deprivation and tired feet wear off), we look back and are thrilled that we could help so many people in the Hutchinson community and beyond with their goals to live an active and healthy lifestyle.

A HUGE thanks goes out to our staff, volunteers, and sponsors who donate time, products, and money to our event. And a HUGE thanks goes out to our competitors who came out to conquer the Dog and the Pup. Because of these people, we're able to raise funds for youth scholarships to Hutchinson Recreation Commission.

Hard to believe a decade has passed since we started our small-scale triathlon. Here's to another 10 years!

Updated tools for Visual Studio 2010
Updated tools for Visual Studio 2010
Written by Ian Elliot
Tuesday, 20 July 2010

Some new Productivity Power Tools for Visual Studio 2010 are just waiting for you to download. But even free software isn't worth the effort unless it does something better. How much power does a Power Tool have?

The new Productiviity Power Tools upgrade for Visual Studio 2010 includes the Power Tools Extensions described in a previous news item, Microsoft releases new tools for Visual Studio 2010. So far I personally have found some of the original power tools useful enough to miss if they were taken away. One or two of the new features are also worth having.

If you already have the previous version of the tools installed all you have to do is open the Extension Manager, click Updates and select Productivity Power Tools. A short download later you are all ready to go - just remember to restart Visual Studio. If you don't have them already installed then visit - Download Power Tools.

You can customise the Power Tools by selecting Tools,Options and selecting Show all settings.and selecting Productivity Power Tools. From here you can switch particular tools on or off and customise the behaviors of the Tab Well and the Solution Navigator. This is a welcome new feature because, for example, while the ability to copy code snippets in HTML complete with formatting is useful, the paste target sometimes doesn't like it. Hence being able to turn it off and on is useful if not essential.

Customise Power Tools

There are a number of extras in the new Power Tools but the one that is obviously useful is the Solution Navigator. This is an additional window that shows you the File view that you know from the Solution Explorer but now when you expand a file you see the classes it contains. Expand another level and you see the methods and properties in the class. If you hover over an item you see related information such as references, callers, etc. You can also preview images and other resources by hovering over them.  There is also a search and filter option which are handy if you are working with a big project.

What could be more useful and logical. Yes you need to see a complete class structure as supplied by the Class Explorer but when you are coding knowing the relationships between classes and files is more useful. Of course you can double click on a class, method or property and it will be automatically loaded into the editor. I've already given up using the Solution Explorer in favor of the Navigator, even though it still lacks some Explorer features.

I'm less sure about the next Power Tool. Quick Access lets you find menu commands using search. The reason I'm less sure about it is that I tend not to lose a command and when I do mostly can't remember what it's called - hence I can't imagine using this feature much., but I could be wrong.

Also new is brace completion - it provides a proper closing symbol when you use an opening symbol. This ensures that you get pairs of opening/closing symbols.  As I also work in Eclipse some of the time this is a feature I miss when working in Visual Studio but it has to be admitted that it can be a nuisance - simply putting the closing symbols in the wrong place. Two small extras make this feature much more workable however - press Tab and you are moved out of the bracket to just beyond the closing bracket and Shift-Enter takes you beyond the bracket to the next line.

Some of the original Power Tools have been improves slightly. The guidelines, something I now can't work without, have been tweaked for the better. Most of the changes are bug fixes or making things work a little better.

Is it worth downloading? Yes, its free and some of the tools are really useful.

Javascript data structures - a collection object
Managing the collection

Javascript has some good basic facilities for implementing data structures without too much effort. In this article the data structure under review is the collection, including an enumerator.

This is the first of a series of articles on implementing data structures in JavaScript.

See also:

See also:

Associative array

The associative array is the fundamental Javascript data structure. Every object in Javascript is an associative array as well as being whatever else you designed it to be.

For example:

var myArray=new Object();

This creates an associative array and you can retrieve values using array indexing:

or standard object qualified naming:

Which you use just depend on how you are thinking of the instance - as an object or as an associative array. You can also create an associative array using Object Literal notation.

For example

var  MyArray={A:0,B:1,C:2};

creates the same array.

So the only real problem with using an associative array is that it can look a lot like an object!

This really only causes a problem when you add methods non-data properties to an object that you are treating as an associative array. For example, the only way to step though the contents of an associative array is to use the For in loop:

for(index in myArray){

This works perfectly but if myArray has had say a Count method added to return the number of items in the array then the for in loop includes the method.

That is if you try

var  MyArray={A:0,B:1,C:2};
return 3

for(index in MyArray)

You will see displayed A, B C, Count - that is the associative array has four items not three.

The situation is even worse in that that if MyArray has any prototype properties added to it then these too are included in the for in loop.

This mixing of associative data and properties is a problem if you are trying to create data handling objects. For example, if you want to create a collection object you can't simply add methods to the object that is going to be used to store the collection and expect for in to work.

What this means is that you either have to abandon for in or you have to modify the way that it is used slightly. As we will see there really isn't a 100% good solution to the problem but the end results are very usable.

Collection object

Let's take the approach of using an internal object to store the actual data and add methods to manipulate it. The new Collection object has a count property and a collection property.

var Collection=function()

The collection property could be made private using any of the standard techniques if you want to restrict access to it.

Accept no substitutes

Second Life == Gopher of Virtual Worlds?

Eric Schonfeld interviews Phillip Rosedale of Second Life for TechCrunch asking “Will browser-based virtual worlds challenge the client-based Second Life?” Rosedale on video has no fears; SL will prevail. But commentors on the article are less sure.

For my part, I was there at the Fortune conference when Rosedale claimed from the stage that SL was simpler to operate than moving a mouse and clicking on a web page. I may have misheard, but I didn’t mis-see when I watched Vint Cerf’s jaw drop in concert with my own.

Rosedale was on stage with Joi Ito and Larry Lessig and their response to “2018: Life on the Net” was very different — a whole world apart from SL — which made the whole digression even odder and somewhat out of context. Perhaps Rosedale was on message from marketing as others including Eric are noticing.

Office is safe from Google Docs, err no. Neither is SL safe from a more agile competitor unless SL too becomes agile and in fact lighter on the client side. We still may be waiting on that competitor.

One wag in our office says “Second Life is the Gopher of virtual worlds; it looks so good because there is so little else to look at.” That will not remain true; there is no doubt a WWW for virtual worlds out there.

On other Second Life fronts, I went to visit the ibiblio homestead on SL today. It was gone. We must have had a subsubsubsubprime morgage the invisible second hand of SL economics moved swiftly and our building was no more.

  1. “gopher of virtual words” is a funny image, because there was a TurboGopher VR:

    The Power Mac-only TurboGopher VR, from the University of Minnesota Gopher Team, is best described as the unholy marriage of Spectre (the 3D tank game from Velocity Development) and TurboGopher. Actually, I think TurboGopher VR is extremely cool — whenever you enter a new Gopher menu, TurboGopher VR drops you with a thud into a Spectre-like three-dimensional scene containing what look a bit like stone monoliths littering the countryside. Roll up to one and you can read its title (the same as you’d see in one of TurboGopher’s normal text lists) and click on it to go into it.

    and if you chase the people in this project forward in time you get Open Croquet:

    which would be a plausible “www for virtual worlds”.

  2. Yes, that whole moving a mouse and clicking thing really has held back the growth of the web. It’s much easier to figure out how to sit on a sphere and interact with a tool menu overlay full of random icons. Sorry about the loss of the homestead, you were probably sitting on some property that has been bought for one of those trendy mixed-use developments.

First you position the headboard of your bed an inch from the wall. Second, set your girl up doggystyle and make sure her head is only a few inches from the headboard. Third, as you're pounding away, her head will hit the headboard which will, in turn, hit the wall making a galloping noise. Finally, as all this is happening, wave your arms in the air and make noises like a camel.
