Paps: I want to close the rest of my career
Jonathan Papelbon and Terry Francona confirmed this afternoon that the club is abandoning the experiment to convert him to a starter and that he will continue as the team's closer.
Papelbon, despite his public declarations of embracing the role of starter, said he hasn't been able to sleep this spring because he wanted to close and finally told Francona of his desire on the field prior to Tuesday night's exhibition game.
"I walked into Tito's office and said, 'If you want to give me the ball in the ninth, I want it,'" Papelbon said today.
Papelbon confirmed the decision after this afternoon's game with Philadelphia.
"This was something that's been kind of weighing on my shoulders for most of spring training, and trying to decide what makes me happy and what gets me going every day to show up at the ballpark to play 162 games a year," Papelbon told ESPN. "I'm glad to finally make a decision and get it over with."
Francona, who had spent a fair amount of time publicly disparaging the notion that Papelbon would close, acknowledged yesterday that the idea has been percolating for some time, so the team was ready to adjust on the fly. Julian Tavarez becomes the fifth starter, with Tim Wakefield sliding into the No. 4 hole.
"A lot of research has been done all spring because of the way he's come into camp, the way he's throwing, the way he structurally is so sound, the way he's bouncing back," Francona said in an ESPN interview. "There's a lot of questions that I wanted to get answered, and to do something like this, there's a lot of questions that needed answering by the appropriate people. And we went every step of the way, but then he beat me to the punch coming in."
Papelbon said he told team captain Jason Varitek of his desire to close before speaking with the manager, and also consulted his family. His parents were in Clearwater to watch him pitch three innings today.
Both Papelbon and Francona insisted that Papelbon had done so well strengthening his shoulder that the medical reasons for making him a starter have been allayed. Francona did say he would have to closely monitor Papelbon's workload to protect against overuse. He said last August, Papelbon threw more pitches than anyone in the big leagues.
"My shoulder issue is not really an issue at this point," Papelbon told ESPN. "It's really for me to go out there and stay on my shoulder program and really understand my body, know when I can and can't pitch. There was a few times last year when I took the ball and maybe I shouldn't have. But you can't really point your finger at one thing to say why I got hurt last year. Thank God nothing tore and I'm able to come back healthy this year and reclaim my job."
Papelbon was insistent that he would not do something that would jeopardize his health just because the team didn't have a clear-cut alternative as closer.
"To make a decision solely based on one year is kind of retarded, in my opinion," he said. "This is something I'd like to do the rest of my career. Forget about starting. Go out (as a closer), chase records and hopefully do for the Red Sox what Mariano Rivera does for the Yankees."
"Obviously we're thrilled," Francona said. "This kid is very special."
Francona insisted that if the team had any doubts about Papelbon's health, it wouldn't have mattered that Papelbon wanted to close. He would have walked Papelbon right out of his office if that had been the case.

Last week, the new ultra modern Pathé Maastricht cinema opened in the Netherlands. The cinema has eight auditoriums with wall-to-wall projection and 1026 seats. Deerns made the MEP design in accordance with the high demands set by Pathé in terms of comfort and experience. "The requirement was a shell MEP design which would be expanded at a later stage with a MEP design for the completion," explains Math Luijten, consultant at Deerns. "The challenge therefore was to make an integrated design in which all systems could be realised without delay.
The application of BIM enabled all preparatory shell MEP facilities to be dimensioned and processed in the correct position in the BIM model. For the client this meant the failure costs between the shell phase and completion phase could be reduced to zero. Another advantage was that the construction of the shell could start ahead of the decisions and choices that are necessary for completion. Consequently, construction was able to be realised quickly and efficiently."
Dry coolers on the Eiffel building
Implementation of the building's cooling system for comfort in the auditoriums and foyer was an additional challenge. Luijten: "Due to the strict requirements in terms of sound and aesthetics in connection with the listed Eiffel building, we housed the cooling unit in the basement. To disperse the heat of the cooling unit dry coolers were installed on top of the Eiffel building. Because the units are of a very low height and are extremely quiet, the municipality has allowed them to be installed on the roof. An additional advantage is that free cooling can be used, resulting in a reduction of energy consumption. In winter, the cinema is heated by district heating."10 November 2015

The Climate Justice Baton was at Inverurie West Church on Sunday, (July 19).
The baton, made from recycled wood, carries the inscription "Time for Climate Justice. Churches in Scotland Demand a Deal in Paris December 2015". The baton was sent on its way at the Eco-Congregation Scotland (ECS) Annual Gathering by Climate Change Minister, Dr Aileen MacLeod on Saturday (April 25).
Joy Doorghen, environment team leader at Inverurie West said: "At the beginning of December in Paris over 190 countries will meet to attempt to negotiate a deal on climate change to limit emissions from developed countries and help developing countries adapt to the impact of climate change and develop low carbon economies.
"The burden of climate change often falls most heavily on the poorest in the world, those who have done least to cause it."
Joy passed the baton on to Richard Murray for the next leg of its journey to Whiterashes and Insch.
Eco Congregation Scotland is a charity offering a programme to enthuse and equip Churches to weave environmental issues into their life and mission in an enjoyable and stimulating way. Time for Climate Justice is a global movement including the World Council of Churches and Christian Aid.

'Lee Daniels' The Butler' L.A. Premiere: Director, Cast Talk About the Film's Social Impact
The stars and helmer also discuss the upcoming trend of movies featuring African-Americans fighting for justice.
Monday night's Los Angeles premiere of Lee Daniels' The Butler attracted both up-and-coming and legendary stars to L.A. Live's Regal Cinemas.
Those in attendance included director Lee Daniels and actors Forest Whitaker, Oprah Winfrey, Jane Fonda, Cuba Gooding Jr., David Oyelowo, James Marsden, Minka Kelly, Alex Pettyfer and Elijah Kelley.
Harvey Weinstein introduced the screening, joking about the dispute between The Weinstein Co. and Warner Bros. over the film's title.
VIDEO: Lee Daniels on 'The Butler': 'I Don't Feel So Good About the Title'
"The MPAA gave the best title fight since Frazier-Ali," Weinstein quipped, addressing the crowd. As for the rest of the night, Weinstein said, "I'm off the record tonight."
Following the screening, Daniels said working with his star-studded cast "was an out-of-body experience -- I had to pinch myself every day."
But in addition to celebrating Whitaker's performance as titular butler Cecil Gaines and Daniels' directorial skills, cast members addressed the social issues reflected in the film.
Especially in the wake of the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman verdict, a film about the civil rights movement and racial prejudice becomes all the more relevant.
STORY: 'Lee Daniels' The Butler' Producer, Screenwriter Talk Film's Struggle, Inspirations
"It's a subject matter that's to me always relevant no matter how far we've come. And also, I think it's an opportunity to remind everyone and introduce these historical events to a generation that may not be that familiar with them," Marsden, who plays John F. Kennedy, noted. "So I think [the film] will have a social impact."
Oyelowo, who plays Whitaker's character's son, who gets involved with the civil rights movement, added: "I hope that it's going to entertain and educate people about what this country is and what it's about, and how far we've come and how far we still need to go."
The Butler seems to mark the beginning of a trend of films focused on black people fighting for justice, with 12 Years a Slave and Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom set to hit theaters this fall.
REVIEW: Lee Daniels' The Butler
"These stories are being told by black people, and therefore you have black protagonists who are at the center of their own story," Oyelowo explained. "There isn't a white character through the eyes of which we are getting to see this history, and I think that's a big shift. I hope that trend continues."
Daniels has faith it will.
"Honey, it's going to be a party," the director predicted. "[These filmmakers] are all my friends, and they're all making cinema. They're all very serious about their craft. It's a great thing not only for African-American cinema, but American cinema."
Lee Daniels' The Butler hits theaters on Friday.

Upgrading a late model Corvette with a supercharger isn't an inexpensive proposition, so it's not surprising that most owners contemplating the job do a lot of research first. If you're dropping a couple grand on a blower kit, you want to know what to expect for your hard-earned cash. Fortunately, the interwebs make doing this kind of homework far easier, and dare we say, fun.
A case in point is the Edelbrock E-FORCE supercharger for the C6 Corvette. Based around the Eaton Gen VI 2300 TVS® Supercharger rotating assembly, they're straightforward to install, fit under the stock hood, and their advanced design makes power without putting a lot of unnecessary stress and heat into your LS. Edelbrock claims 550-plus crank horsepower and 515 pound-feet of torque for both their LS2 and LS3 street legal superchargers (just under 600 is possible with the optional fuel pump upgrade) and an incredible 657 horsepower and 582 pound feet at the crank for LS7-powered C6 Z06's. But, horsepower at the crank isn't a particularly useful number, since it has to make its way to the tires before it does you any good. So, what do E-FORCE equipped C6's make on a chassis dyno?
Total Performance Solutions (TPS) Motorsports of Campbell, California, can answer that question with authority – their YouTube channel has dozens of different dyno pull videos available for your viewing pleasure, including four C6 Corvettes that have gotten a little boost from the Edelbrock E-FORCE. Let's see what these cars actually put to the pavement…
First up is an ex-Hertz ZHZ rent-a-Vette, and not just any ZHZ either – this is SN 001! This automatic-tranny convertible does 483 horsepower and 425 pound-feet to the Dynojet 224x roller. Factoring in a 15% drivetrain loss, the "555 Horsepower" graphics on the side of the Corvette are right on the money for power at the crank.
Next, we have a 2011 Grand Sport that did 389 horsepower and 386 pound-feet to the wheels before being blown; right on the money for a car with a 430 horsepower rating "at the brochure" and 11%-12% drivetrain friction losses. We see in the video that this car is getting the upgraded fuel pump as part of the installation, and once it's all ready to go, the E-FORCE bumps the numbers up to 497 horsepower and 478 pound feet on the DynoJet. That 497 where the rubber meets the road works out to 556 crank horsepower – again, right where it should be for 91 octane and 8 pounds of boost.
At this point, you might be asking yourself, "but what about Corvettes that already have some tweaks?" The next Corvette in our TPS batting order is another 2011 GS, but though we don't get a "before" number, we suspect pre-existing work thanks to the fact that this Corvette ends up doing 521 horsepower and 484 pound-feet to the pavement on the same 91 octane gas and 8 PSI we saw in the previous video.
Finally, the one you've been waiting for – a 2007 C6 Z06! Will the E-FORCE supercharger for the LS7 perform as advertised like the LS3 version does? The final numbers are 572 horsepower and 520 pound-feet, the calculated equivalent of 657 horsepower at the crank with a 15% drivetrain loss. Yes, we know you scrolled up to look at what Edelbrock claimed…
So there you have it. Four different Corvettes, all run on the same chassis dyno, and all putting down power as advertised. We'd say that's a pretty good endorsement for the Edelbrock E-FORCE supercharger system, wouldn't you?

As there's very little to say about the Megastar's history, I think it best we go straight to the images. These show the Megastar departing Helsinki Länsisatama (West Harbour) on the afternoon of 4 March 2017, photographed from Vattuniemi. As always, you can see the photos in larger size by clicking on them.

|The sun refused to shine on the ship, but it made for good photos never the less.
|And the few remnants of the near-nonexistant sea ice of this winter made for a decent foreground.
|Alas, seen from the rear the ship isn't particularly attractive - a situation made worse by the sloppy design of the livery in that part.

How much cooler are these dead saints covered in bling than Damien Hirst's diamond skull? The 400 year old skeletons were dressed up and decorated by churches and distributed to other churches and monasteries throughout Germany, Austria and Switzerland. They're each dressed as a particular saint but the skeletons didn't necessarily belong to anyone of any great religious importance. The jewels, costumes, armor and other bling were meant to represent the heavenly treasures that awaited the faithful in death. I would much prefer my gold in this life
Art historian Paul Koudounaris put together a book of the catacomb saints called Heavenly Bodies: Cult Treasures and Spectacular Saints from the Catacombs. It'll be released on the 8th of October but you can pre-order it at Amazon.
Here's some of the fascinating jewel encrusted skeletons captured by the historian nicknamed "Indiana Bones" for obvious reasons..
Paul Koudounaris – St Benedictus
Paul Koudounaris - St Valerius in Weyarn
Paul Koudounaris - St Luciana
Paul Koudounaris - St Deodatus in Rheinau
Paul Koudounaris - St Valentinus in Waldsassen
Paul Koudounaris - St Vincentus
The Heavenly Bodies book can be found here at Amazon or find out more about Paul Koudounaris and his other projects at his Empire de la Mort website here. His previous book called The Empire of Death: A Cultural History of Ossuaries and Charnel Houses is just as fascinating.. if you're fascinated in that kind of thing

Palmer Returns with NCAA in Mind
Never mind what the NBA scouts told James Palmer Jr. about his readiness for professional basketball.
Palmer went with his "gut feeling" in deciding to return for his senior season with the Nebraska men's basketball team.
"It wasn't by what they said or what they didn't say," Palmer said of scouts from several NBA teams who watched him firsthand in workouts this spring. "It's just that I wanted to come back and have a great season in my last season with Nebraska."
Palmer, a 6-foot-6 guard, has one goal in mind, and one goal only.
"Make the NCAA Tournament," Palmer said. "That's it. That's all. To make the NCAA Tournament."
Nebraska came oh-so-close to securing an at-large bid to the 68-team NCAA Tournament last season after finishing fourth in the Big Ten Conference with a 13-5 record. But the Huskers fell short, instead participating in the National Invitational Tournament and finishing with a 22-11 overall record.
How far prognosticators have the Huskers going in 2018-19, the seventh season under coach Tim Miles, largely depended on whether a couple of players would return for their senior seasons.
Palmer and forward Isaac Copeland Jr. a Georgetown transfer, both declared for the NBA Draft, mostly to work out in front of NBA scouts and get valuable feedback about what areas of their game they need to improve upon, and if they stood a reasonable chance of being drafted in June.
In not hiring an agent, they have until Wednesday to withdraw from the draft and maintain their collegiate status.
Palmer is back. Now, we await word from Copeland.
"That's his own decision, if he wants to come back or stay (in the draft)," Palmer said of Copeland, "but it would definitely be great to have him back."
Palmer, a Maryland native and Miami transfer, averaged a team-best 17.2 points last season, his first in competition for Nebraska after sitting out a season. He also averaged 4.4 rebounds and three assists while attempting a Big Ten-best 221 free-throws, and making 73.8 percent of them.
"I'm proud of James and I'm certainly super-fired up that he's coming back," Miles said. "It's going to be great."
Copeland was second on the team in scoring with 12.9 points per game and second in rebounding with 6.1 boards per game, only behind rising junior Isaiah Roby. His 33 blocked shots were also second on the team to Roby.
Should Copeland return, that would mean Nebraska returns its top four scorers from a team that went undefeated in home Big Ten Conference games last season.
"I'm glad to finally get the decision over with," Palmer said, "and get focused on next season."

2018 Gmc Sierra Exterior
The best 2018 GMC Sierra ever made is going to cause a lot of headaches for the competition. The 2018 GMC Sierra builds upon the success of its ancestors with expressive styling, a surprisingly roomy cabin, plenty of advanced safety features and comfortable, supportive seats.
Each vehicle typically comes in multiple versions that are fundamentally similar. The ratings in this review are based on our full test of the 2018 GMC Sierra. Performance has never been a strong suit for the 2018 GMC Sierra, and it still isn't, especially with the current crop of compact cars.
The 2018 GMC Sierra is only offered in one configuration that slots in about equivalent to 2018 GMC Sierra. Similarly, the 2018 GMC Sierra range scores in the 30 mpg combined neighborhood, which is on the high side for compact cars but not quite class leading.
It's not bad inside, but the 2018 GMC Sierra somehow manages to be awkward without being interesting outside.

Local Architects & Engineers
Denver, CO is a rapidly growing city with a great deal of construction taking place. Architects and engineers serve a crucial role in the updates and new projects taking place throughout the city. Whether you're looking to renovate your own home, or you're investing in and upgrading structures throughout the city, you'll need help from the right professionals to see your vision become a brick and mortar reality.
What's the Difference Between and Engineer and an Architect?
Architects and engineers experience overlap in their job responsibilities, but they take different approaches to the same project. The architect focuses primarily on the structural features of the building. He or she will envision the style, shape, layout and design of the project. Architects focus on form and aesthetics.
Engineers work on the practical implementation of an architect's design. Engineering utilizes a great deal of math and physics to turn the artistic designs from the architect into a workable construction. Engineers often work within a specialty such as electrical, industrial or structural engineering. If you're working on a new construction or remodeling project, you'll likely need the services of a structural engineer. Engineers determine the exact materials, plans and requirements for bringing a construction project to life.
Both engineers and architects are in high demand in Denver, where construction projects known as scrapes are making a big comeback. When a property owner performs a scrape, he demolishes the existing building on the lot and constructs an entirely new one. This is an increasingly popular tactic in historic residential communities.
Questions to Ask Your Architect
Your architect is the creative force behind your project. Many architects have a distinctive style that's evident in all their work. It's important to choose an architect whose vision melds well with your own. This helps ensure that your designs come out looking just as you imagined them. Ask your architect these key questions to decide whether they're a good match.
- Who will design my project? Most architects work for larger firms. The person you meet with may not design your project, so you need to find out who will and make arrangements to meet with them.
- What's the scope of your project management services? Will your architect handle lien waivers, design adjustments, and hiring for your contractor? Specify the division of labor and responsibilities from the beginning.
- What are the biggest challenges you anticipate with this project? Any architect can point out their strengths and offer highlights from their portfolio. Get to the gritty details up front and find out what hurdles you should expect on your journey.
- What is your signature design style? While some are more distinctive than others, all architects have a particular style they gravitate toward and specialize in. Someone who specializes in historic restorations isn't the best choice for a modern build, and a tiny house designer won't have the experience if you're working on an expansive space.
- What experience do you have with this type of project? If you're planning a scrape, look for someone who's familiar with scrapes that fit well with the existing architecture of the neighborhood and confines of the lot.
- Do you have experience with green design, and if so what types? If you want to design an eco-friendly building, it's important to specify the green design elements you can work into your project. Some architects may stop at eco-friendly building materials, while others can go well beyond with a construction that's designed for low energy consumption and sustainability at every step.
- What are the steps in your design process? Your architect should offer a clear schedule for each step in the design process as well as a time table.
- How will you bill for this project? Architects may charge an hourly rate for consultations as well as a fixed percentage of the project cost. Clarify all fees as well as the billing schedule.
- How do you provide drawings? Architects typically provide 3-D computer renderings that allow you to zoom, rotate, and adjust your view of the project. If you're only looking at flat sketches, you may find your architect is behind the times in other areas as well.
Speak with several architects before selecting the right person for your project. You'll have a lot of contact with this person, so it's crucial that you take your time to find a good match.
Questions to Ask Your Engineer
In addition to an architect, you will need a structural engineer to assist with your construction. It's important to choose an engineer that's experienced in your particular area. These questions will help you find a reliable professional.
- Who will be the primary point of contact? If you're working with a large engineering firm it's important to know who you'll speak with most often. Make arrangements to interview this person so you can find out if you're a good fit.
- What field do you specialize in? You're most likely looking for a structural engineer for your project, but you'll find further specialties within this area. The engineer may work primarily with commercial buildings, industrial structures, residential properties or another type of construction.
- What did you spend the most time on in your last project? This will help you pinpoint areas that may slow down your construction process. It's also important to know how the engineer handled problematic areas.
- Who are your previous clients in this area? Look for a firm that has completed several similar projects, both in scope and locality. Engineers should be well versed in the local requirements for this type of construction.
- What is your time frame? Find out how much staffing your structural engineering firm can devote to your project. Make sure their proposed deadlines fit well within your own needs.
- What services are offered throughout the project? Delivering construction documents is the first thing a structural engineer will do. However, you also want someone who will check in regularly, meet with you after crucial milestones in the project and perform inspections at previously scheduled points.
- How do you charge for your services? Clarify how your engineer bills for his services. Is there a fixed design fee? Does he charge hourly rates? How often will you receive bills for the work?
The right engineer will be able to work with your time frame and budgetary confines. Interview several people for this crucial job before settling on a single firm to make sure you get the best engineer for your job.
Local Denver Associations
When you're looking for an architect or engineer, it's useful to have a well-rounded grasp of the local industry. There are several groups and associations in Colorado that dedicated professionals in this field belong to. These provide a helpful starting point for seeking out a qualified professional. You can also ask your top candidates about their involvement or participation in these groups to get a better idea of how involved they are in the local industry.
AIA Colorado
AIA Colorado is a chapter of the American Institute of Architects. They offer an online directory to help connect potential clients with members. They also connect their members with mentoring and professional networking opportunities to help them grow within the industry. AIA is the leading provider of construction and design contracts in the industry.
The Denver Architectural Foundation
The Denver Architectural Foundation aims to inspire members to appreciate and explore the dynamic design of Denver. The organization offers hard hat tours, workshops, and other events highlighting architecture throughout the city. This is an excellent organization to join if you're interested in expanding your own understanding of Denver's distinctive personality and design elements to get inspiration for your own projects.
Home Builders Association of Metro Denver
The Home Builders Association of Metro Denver (HBA) is a major source of networking events in the homebuilding industry. They maintain an active voice in any regulatory activities that will impact the industry. Continuing education programs help members stay at the top of their profession, while seminars, building permit reports and special interest councils offer regular updates on all vital information in the area.
Structural Engineers Association of Colorado
The Structural Engineers Association of Colorado (SEAC) hosts activities that help support the advancement of structural engineers. The SEAC maintains active technical and professional committees and regularly holds breakfast meetings and seminars as well as an annual dinner.
With the right engineer and architect on board, the options for your construction project are endless. Take the time to hire a great team and you can see your vision realized in grand form.

Today marks the second installment of our new series, 'Winter Walks'. As gardeners, we feel that our best inspiration often comes from walks like these. We hope these posts will lift your spirits during the grey days of winter, and maybe even give you a few ideas for your garden in the coming year.
This week we took a jaunt down to the Sehome Hill Arboretum down at Western Washington University. In their 'Hundred Acre Wood', they have an extraordinary collection of native plants, smack dab in the midst of the city. It's a wonderful place to take a contemplative walk, and enjoy all that nature has to offer.
There's so much to see. Both in the canopy and on the forest floor. Aren't these mosses and lichens just stunning? As we walked down the quiet paths, it felt as though we had entered an enchanted place.
And the view from the top of the tower on the hill is quite nice!
Our favorite find was this intriguing mutation.
The play of light over leaves, path and trees inspired us to think about luminescence in our container plantings this spring. Perhaps some Euphorbia 'Ruby Glow', which looks spectacular in the late afternoon light will work its way into our future designs…
Warm wishes from all the Garden Spot Crew. We wonder, what are your favorite winter walks? Post some pictures to our Facebook page, and you'll be entered into our "Photo of the Week" contest. 😉

If the pet travels with you, it will retain a sense of identity. However, pets can become frightened and bolt away from you out of open doors and windows. Keep your pet on a leash when outside your car or hotel.
Occasionally traveling can upset your pet's stomach. Take along ice cubes, which are easier on your pet than large amounts of water. It is recommended that you keep feeding to a minimum during travel. If you are traveling by car, a light meal for your pet two to three hours before you leave is advised. If you are traveling by air, a light meal four to six hours before departure is recommended. Allow small amounts of water periodically in the hours before the trip.
Whether your pet travels with you or by another means it should wear a special identification tag in addition to its regular one. Write the pet's name, your name, the person to contact at the destination, their phone number, a destination address, or that of a friend or relative, in case you want to be reached.
Rabies vaccinations are a must for all travel abroad. Many airlines also require vaccinations. Check with your vet for the complete range of vaccinations required, and of course, check with the airline and country to which you're heading.
Check the airline's requirements to see if your pet can travel in a carrier that can be kept under a seat in the cabin or must travel by air freight.
Get the pet to the air terminal in time. Get there 45 minutes in advance if the pet is accompanying you. If shipping the pet, get to the flight terminal two hours in advance of your flight.

20 April 2005 I'm pooped. It's 1:30 in the morning over here, so technically it's the 20th. Posting this is just an excuse to take a break from doing my schoolwork, which is very difficult. Doubly so when I consider that I'm going to have to translate it all into German. And present it orally. On Thursday morning. Uh, yeah, so... Friday's comic might be coming a little late. Oh yeah, concerning this page. I think I did a pretty bad job of colouring Cid. Heck, of drawing him in general. Though I love drawing his cigarette. He does get a slight facelift in the next panel for the better, though.

For Mark Kozelek, 2014 has been transformative. The 47 year-old Ohio native has morphed from an introspective musician, rapt painfully by his surroundings, and loved dearly for using nearly an album every year as a journal-like outlet for the 'heaviness of everything', into something of a churlish deity: feared and capricious and divine.
After giving his disciples the gift of Benji – a commandment executed with the horrifying grace of Admiral Fell Promises and Among the Leaves – he shifted to sacrificing The War on Drugs with a series of arbitrary, brazen attacks in the only way Kozelek knows, through songwriting.
Now, 'The Possum' is something of an act of god. It's a 9 minute musing on Kozelek and his girlfriend Caroline witnessing a possum die on an Easter Sunday. Combining the staccato spewings of 'Ben's My Friend' and winsome guitar plucking of 'I Watched the Film the Song Remains the Same', it serves as an expose of Kozelek's powerful talent and a reminder that he is in control of it all. "Cos he's cute / and he's down there / and he's dying" he says at one stage, reminding that, from up there, he can see beauty in anything.

|Thirteen-lined Ground Squirrel
(Spermophilus tridecemlineatus)&Mac246;
Interesting Facts:
Description of the Thirteen lined Ground Squirrel:
The thirteen-lined ground squirrel resembles the chipmunk in size, but the chipmunk has a broad white stripe bordered with black on each side of the body and face.
Habitat and behavior:
The squirrels dig burrows without a mound of soil at the entrance. They spread the soil around and pat it down with their feet and the top of their head. Breeding takes place once a year about mid-April and the babies are born about 28 days later. The babies come out of the burrows about a month after birth.

Arthur Kingsley-Porter, an American art historian, (1883-1933), was born in Stamford, Connecticut, and taught at Yale (1915-1919) and Harvard (1920-1933). His life was cut short by a tragic accident in Ireland, where he owned Glenveagh Castle, Donnegal.
Among Kingsley-Porter's other works are, "Medieval Architecture: its Origins and Development", 1909, "Lombard Architecture" (4 volumes), 1919 and "Spanish Romanesque Sculpture" (2 volumes), 1928.
He is now, perhaps, best known as a pioneer of Art History in America, and as the mentor and guide of Meyer Schapiro.

This photo is of the Si Betty Gamelan Group for New Music performing at ArtsFirst, Harvard's annual spring campus-wide arts festival.
The photo above was taken by Jody Diamond as the group rehearsed for a performance at the Cabrillo Music Festival in 1982. Lou Harrison is the white-bearded gentleman in the plaid shirt.
Gamelan Si Betty, built in 1979 by Lou Harrison and William Colvig, was named for its benefactor, Betty Freeman. It is modeled on the court gamelan of Central Java, in particular, the Central Javanese Gamelan Kyai Udan Mas at U.C. Berkeley. Si Betty is perhaps the largest American-built gamelan in terms of numbers of instruments, able to accommodate over 30 instrumental players, as well as vocalists.
Gamelan Si Betty came to Harvard in the Fall of 2007. The instruments were left to Jody Diamond, who had worked with Harrison for over 20 years. As an Artist in Residence in the Harvard Music Department, Ms. Diamond directs a community ensemble; the gamelan is also serves as a performance lab for courses in the music department. Ms. Diamond has facilitated the use of the gamelan in other projects, and is available as an artistic and educational resource to all departments for collaborative work.
Si Betty's instruments, like those of its Javanese counterparts, are divided into two sets, one tuned in 5-tone slendro, the other in 7-tone pelog. Both scale systems of Si Betty are realized in just intonation, chosen after Lou Harrison sought approval from the Javanese master K.R.T. Wasitodipuro.Scores for the gamelan compositions of Lou Harrison are published by the American Gamelan Institute,

I recently had the opportunity to explore old Québec City and it was simply lovely. My boyfriend and I packed our bags, filled our car and took off on a mini road trip. My boyfriend is always working so I tend to disappear on adventures without him but this time I wanted him included so I surprised him with the trip. We drove through the worst possible driving conditions so I owe him for safely getting me there and back through a blizzard, miles of thick fog, and a heavy wind and rainstorm.
Oh but it was worth it.

Senators-Jets Preview
The Winnipeg Jets and Ottawa Senators have done little of late to help themselves move into playoff position in their respective conferences.
Both will try to avoid a third straight loss Saturday when the Senators look to remain undefeated in Winnipeg.
The Jets (30-27-7) won nine of their first 11 after Paul Maurice replaced the fired Claude Noel as coach, but are 2-2-2 since and trying to avoid the longest slide under their new bench boss. Winnipeg is 10th in the Western Conference, three points behind Dallas for the final wild-card spot.
"You worry about who you are out there against, and then worry about the (standings) after the game," rookie defenseman Jacob Trouba said.
The Jets returned from the Olympic break to total six goals in victories over Phoenix and Nashville, then managed three in losses to the New York Islanders and Los Angeles at home. Ondrej Pavelec made 38 saves but Winnipeg was held to 18 shots in a 3-1 defeat to the Kings on Thursday.
"Every loss this time of year hurts," said forward Andrew Ladd, who had six goals and six assists in the previous 11 games before being held without a point Thursday. "We've got to find a way to get past this game and look forward to Saturday."
As the Jets move on, they'll try to improve a power play that hasn't scored on seven chances over three games and is 1 for 15 while they've dropped three of five at home.
The loss of talented rookie center Mark Scheifele for at least four weeks to a knee injury likely won't help matters.
United States Olympian Blake Wheeler leads the Jets with a career-high 23 goals but has one in nine games. He has five assists in eight contests, but Wheeler has been held without a point in five consecutive games against the Senators, who have scored 16 goals in winning their first three trips to Winnipeg since the Jets' move.
Ottawa (27-25-11), however, hopes to avoid dropping the final three of a four-game trip through western and central Canada. The Senators opened with a 4-2 win at Vancouver on Sunday, then scored three goals in losses to West-bottom dwellers Edmonton and Calgary.
The Senators trailed 3-0 to the Flames on Wednesday before Kyle Turris scored his 20th goal in the 4-1 loss. Ottawa has been outscored 22-10 while losing four of five.
"It's flat-out not good enough in this league," coach Paul MacLean said. "We didn't play hard enough (in a 3-2 loss to the Oilers on Tuesday). We didn't play hard enough (Wednesday) to get anything out of the game. Three of the last four games coming out of the Olympic break we've been terrible from start to finish."
The Senators also have struggled on the power play, going 2 for 29 in their last 10 games. Their opponents, meanwhile, are 6 for 20 with the man advantage in the last five.
Ales Hemsky recorded two shots Wednesday in his first game since Ottawa acquired him from Edmonton – one day after he scored twice against the Senators. Hemsky has three goals and 11 assists during a nine-game point streak against the Jets.
Turris has three goals and two assists in his last five versus Winnipeg. He had an assist while Ottawa beat the Jets for the sixth time in eight meetings, 4-3 on Jan. 2.

Kevin Ash helps you choose the right model and explains the licensing requirements
Last week we outlined the attractions of scooter use, principally low cost and convenience, especially in urban areas. We also provided an overview of the major brands.
This week we'll help you decide which model best meets your needs, and what the licencing requirements entail.
Which scooter?
This will depend on what you're planning to do with it, and what kind of licence you have or are hoping to get. Engine size is the first consideration: if you need something for a short urban commute, say five miles or less, then a 50cc scooter will cost less than a railway season ticket to buy and insure, then reward you with 100mpg or better and minimal annual servicing bills. Its top speed will be restricted to 30mph so it's no good for faster A-roads; some people will prefer the extra power of a 125cc as a 50cc machine often can't keep up with traffic even in town, where you're consigned to the gutter like a cyclist, which can be intimidating.
A 125cc scooter will have a top speed of about 60mph and be sufficient for commuting 10-15 miles and maybe more. You can ride one on a motorway without L-plates but you'll be battling for space with trucks and not always winning, so a bigger engine would be better. Scooters with 125cc engines feel more stable and substantial than 50cc models and keep up with urban traffic easily, while fuel economy is not much worse than a 50cc. Because of this, and their increased versatility, we'd recommend going for a 125 anyway, even if you'll mostly be commuting a shorter distance.
For anything larger than a 125 you'll need a full motorcycle licence. With that you can get a scooter capable of commuting as far as you like on all sorts of roads. A 250 can still struggle on motorways because hills and headwinds will knock 10mph or more off its 75mph top speed, as can carrying a passenger. There are many 400cc-plus scooters - right up to the 120mph, 800cc Gilera GP800 - and these will commute as well as any motorcycle, as well as being suitable for a weekend away, and even give you the option of a Continental holiday in the summer. They are often called maxi scooters.
As well as a range of engine sizes there are different types of scooter. Besides the most basic ones there are sports scooters, which sometimes have better suspension and brakes with reduced weight at the expense of weather protection and carrying capacity, and executive scooters, which are better equipped with more luggage capacity and improved weather protection. But these tend to be heavier, pricier and more unwieldy in town, and you'll still need wet-weather gear with all of them. Big- or high-wheel scooters are particularly fashionable in the UK because people still think they're like grandma's old Mobylette, but they offer a better ride quality and stability than small-wheel scooters, although they have less storage space under the seat.
This is an important consideration before you buy - most scooters have room under the seat, but is it big enough to store your helmet? Few scooters will carry a briefcase, with notable exceptions such as the Suzuki Burgman and Piaggio X-Evo: you must specify an additional top box that is big enough for this. And note that very often your underseat storage will be used up by your emergency wet-weather gear, so you may well need to add a top box anyway if you want to carry other items.
It's also very important to check a scooter for size. Many have surprisingly high seats, which can make life difficult for shorter riders, while others are too compact for tall riders, who can have problems with knees hitting the handlebars in corners.
Some scooters are fitted with two-stroke engines. These pollute a lot less than you might expect as they're generally high-tech, direct-injection units. They also tend to be more powerful than their four-stroke counterparts - 50cc four-strokes can be very slow indeed - although they wear out sooner and the fuel consumption is higher.
Which licence?
Your licence is important - you will need Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) before you're allowed on the roads. A full car licence can act as a provisional licence for 125cc or smaller machines and a full licence for 50cc models, for many but not all drivers: there are various clauses and time limits to be wary of. For anything bigger than 125cc you'll need a full motorcycle licence. Note that all scooters are fully automatic, and if you pass your test on one your licence will be limited to automatic machines only.
Getting the licence is often the main hurdle and it will get more difficult from October this year, because the Government is implementing new test procedures that can be carried out only at major test centres, meaning the current 220 centres will be reduced to just 45 or so; some people will be forced to travel large distances. But with the licence bagged, a whole new world of low-cost, convenient and genuinely enjoyable transport is opened up. In a survey of commuters by the AA a few years ago, the majority of motorcycle and scooter riders actively enjoyed their journey to work.
Think about that next time you're packed onto a tube train or stuck in a motionless line of cars.

By Howard Kurtz
Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, August 6, 2007
David Bradley had been trying to lure Jeffrey Goldberg to the Atlantic for more than two years.
Bradley, the magazine's owner, wrote flattering letters. He courted Goldberg at a McDonald's on Wisconsin Avenue. He proffered a hefty signing bonus. And when the New Yorker's Washington correspondent finally seemed receptive to making the move, Bradley sent in the ponies.
"He's incredibly persistent and makes you feel like you're God's gift to journalism," says Goldberg, who had turned Bradley down once before. But that was before the horses showed up at his home to entertain his children. "The charm is incredibly disarming," says Goldberg, who joined the Atlantic last month.
Bradley excelled at hiring top talent long before he got into the media business. But since moving the Atlantic from Boston to Washington two years ago (after vowing not to), he has sought out -- with an open checkbook -- some of the Beltway's best and brightest.
"Everyone has particular gifts," says Bradley, a soft-spoken man who exudes self-effacement. "George Will can write 800 words on anything. Mine is seeing gifts in other people and recruiting them."
Bradley made his millions at corporate research firms he founded, sifting through 50,000 applicants a year, before buying such media properties as National Journal and the Hotline.
"In this business, the talent is that much more unique," he says. "It's so much more ephemeral what makes a good writer."
James Bennet was a New York Times correspondent, and was excited about moving to the Beijing bureau, when Bradley approached him. He wanted Bennet to become editor of the Atlantic.
"He just sat me down for a couple of long conversations about what I was in journalism for, before I realized I was a candidate for the job," Bennet says. "He kind of interviews you about your life. He is a tremendously persuasive guy." Bennet took the job last year.
Part of what Bradley is selling is a commitment to long-form journalism, at a time when there are few quality outlets for those who believe in the power of nonfiction narrative. But what Goldberg calls "smart-bomb flattery" doesn't hurt, and neither do salaries for top journalists ranging as high as $350,000.
"Money is a factor in every situation," Bradley says. "I don't want people taking salary cuts to come write for us. But it doesn't get you across the finish line." The big salaries have stirred some jealousy among the rank and file, tempered by gratitude that the owner isn't cutting back during a tough time for the news business.
Bradley also uses his wallet in the political arena. At a time when many news organizations ban contributions by journalists, he has given $4,300 to Hillary Clinton, $2,300 to Barack Obama and $2,300 to Mitt Romney in the presidential race.
When it comes to hiring, Bradley's most useful trait may be patience. Says Andrew Sullivan, who had been blogging for Time: "David regularly offered me tea and scones every year or so for the better part of the last seven years, to find out what I was up to, and always suggested ways to go work for him." Sullivan recently moved his blog to the Atlantic's site.
"We all get job offers from time to time, but rarely does someone offer you a job who has been willing to talk to you for years, even when there was no chance of going to work for him. David is the real deal: the tortoise in the online media race."
Bradley looks to his writers for policy guidance. He was, he says, "a neocon guy" who was "dead certain about the rightness" of invading Iraq. He argued about this with his national correspondent, James Fallows, who wrote skeptically about the war, and now concedes Fallows was right.
Despite his persistence, Bradley doesn't always get his man. He has been after an unnamed foreign affairs commentator for seven years whom "I'll never, ever get," he says, though he keeps trying. When longtime Atlantic writer William Langewiesche was being courted by Vanity Fair, Bradley flew to Paris to have dinner with him. Langewiesche defected anyway.
As for the ponies, Bradley has a built-in advantage. He was a groom at Meadowbrook Stables in Chevy Chase while growing up and is now one of its chief financial supporters.
For Goldberg, the arrival of the horses at his Northwest Washington home was the finishing touch that delighted his three young children. What's more, Bradley showed up and offered to clean up after the animals.
After that, Goldberg assumes, "it's all downhill from here."Mother Is Calling
Mother Jones may be rooted in San Francisco, but the magazine is putting boots on the ground in Washington.
The liberal bimonthly is boosting its bureau here from two correspondents to seven in an effort to ramp up its investigative reporting. By contrast, Mother Jones has one reporter in its home city.
"Some people think we're a partisan magazine," says Clara Jeffery, the co-editor, who has spent the past month here looking for a bureau chief. "We're informed by a progressive tradition. But we're not out to grind the ax of anybody."
What's more, she adds, "the Bush administration has been good to us. There's a lot to investigate." Mother Jones's circulation has risen to 231,000 during the Bush years, double that at the end of the Clinton era.
Among the Washington staff are James Ridgeway, a longtime author and Village Voice correspondent; Stephanie Mencimer, a former Washington Monthly editor; and Laura Rozen, a national security writer for American Prospect. Another staffer, Daniel Schulman, has reported on a robo-calling operation that spread negative information about Democrats before the 2006 election, and on federal whistle-blowers who wind up getting fired.
Jeffery says the magazine's California perspective keeps it free of Beltway minutiae. Among Washington journalists, she says, "there can be a little bit of a herd mentality."
By putting breaking news and blogs online, the editors are adding urgency to a publication that's out only six times a year. But how can a small magazine, run by a nonprofit foundation, afford to triple its D.C. staff? Some financial backers are writing checks, Jeffery says, but the magazine is also making an old-fashioned pitch to smaller donors: send $250 and enter a sweepstakes for a week-long vacation.Media Promiscuity
More than seven years ago, NBC and The Washington Post Co. announced a news alliance in which their Web sites would share content while Post and Newsweek reporters made frequent appearances on NBC and MSNBC.
Despite the long relationship, NBC now wants to see other people. The network said last week it will start sharing political content with the New York Times and featuring Times correspondents on air, while still collaborating with The Post.
"It's smart and good for us to try to get our journalism into all those media and all those platforms," says Mark Lukasiewicz, NBC's vice president for digital media. "It's not just television anymore. TV is a big piece of it. But online is huge." Plus, he says, "when Times reporters break national news, we have first access to them on television."
The deal is but one example of the overlapping links between news organizations that are nominally in competition. NBC and National Journal are fielding a team of "embeds" who will travel with the presidential candidates, shooting video and blogging.
Beyond that, NBC is a partner in polling with the Wall Street Journal, although that longtime arrangement could be severed now that Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch is taking over the Journal. The New York Times polls with CBS, while The Post teams with ABC for its opinion surveys. ABC, meanwhile, recently announced a content-sharing deal for the campaign with USA Today. Got that?

The Brighton Pavilion Galop part 03
Composer: Smith, J (Band master Royal Artillery)
Medium: Lithograph
Date: 1850
During the 19th Century it became very fashionable for England's leisured classes to visit spa towns for their health and entertainment. Brighton was only an hour away from London and improvements in the railways made it easy to reach. The town thrived and in 1889 the famous pier was built, closely followed by entertainment halls and amusement arcades. Brighton Pavilion is the former palace of King George IV, and has been a popular tourist attraction since the 19th Century. It was constructed in 1787 and redesigned by John Nash in 1815. The exterior resembles an Indian palace and the inside is decorated in an ornate Chinese style.

Smartphone-touchscreen use altering brain activity
Smartphone users' brain activity directly proportional to intensity of phone use
Increasing use of smartphone touchscreens is altering brain activity in relation to fingertips, says a new study.
Researchers from Switzerland were intrigued to learn how people's brains were responding to increased use of their thumbs and other fingertips due to smartphone usage. While other studies have focused on video gamers and motor skills, none had analyzed whether smartphone touchscreens have an effect on the brain in terms of the fingers.
"I was really surprised by the scale of the changes introduced by the use of smartphones," said Arko Ghosh of the University of Zurich and ETH Zurich in Switzerland, in the study published in Current Biology.
Ghosh and his colleagues wanted to examine the everyday plasticity, or adaptability, of the human brain in relation to fingertip use.
"I think first we must appreciate how common personal digital devices are and how densely people use them," Ghosh said.
Sensitive thumb
Neuroscientists used electroencephalography (EEG) to track the brain response to mechanical touch on the thumb, index and middle fingertips of touchscreen phone users compared to users who used older cellphones – ones without touchscreens.
Researchers discovered that smartphone users' brain activity in the cortex – the part associated with thumb and index fingertips – was directly proportional to the intensity of phone use.
They then compared that to the phone's battery logs to see how much that person had been using their smartphone or cellphone.
The more a person used their phone, the more the brain activity associated with the thumb tip surged, whether or not that thumb was using a touchscreen or not.
"Sensory processing in the contemporary brain is continuously shaped by personal digital technology," Ghosh and his team concluded.
