Though I have not read the full terms and conditions.. you might want to make it imperative that the coders keep the templates and extensions up to date with the current table version of Joomla. Better yet, make sure each template/extension detail page have a <stront>clear indicator of with which version it is compatible.
Unfortunately.. I have been a victim of buying a template for an out-of-date version. The author is missing in action.

Damn, that's really bad and you're right! But maybe this helps you. If it's a Template you can easily convert it to Joomla 2.5! You can see here an Tutorial about how to do this.

Looks pretty straight forward. All the more reason to make it MANDATORY to keep their templates up to date.. It's just my opinion.. I could be wrong
I have submitted my Second Joomla! template and filled out the form also . Yahooooo! I want that Bounty Badge.

Hello ZoomIt! Best Template / Plugin will be restricted to the Top 30 winners on TF and the Top 20 winners on CC. It adds a little excitement to the event, don't you think?
Sure does, great idea :D
May plugin and template the best win
So glad to see envato trying to jumpstart their joomla section! I never knew this site to sell anything other than wordpress products.
I'd like to point out to potential authors what's really lacking in joomla is an easy to use CCK with an MVC approach. There's a great need for creating video channels, multimedia portfolios and blogs without all the Bull$hit that goes along with existing joomla frameworks/CCK's like Zoo, zentools, t3, K2, etc… The added obfuscation is just killing the joomla community because all too often they interfere with 3rd party extensions and require a PHP programmer's knowledge to fix.
There's always Redshop, but it's so full of bugs and limited just to ecommerce that's it's not even worth expanding. However, their approach to self editing CCK templates was the most up to date I've seen so far. To my knowledge that approach hasn't even been adopted for drupal or wordpress. Hint Hint..
I'd also like to see more templates that don't rely on garbage frameworks like Gantry, T3, Warp, etc…Nothing like wrestling with the Joomla API and broken 3rd party extensions only to have to turn around and troubleshoot another layer of obfuscation all over again because the template design houses think they need to copy the WordPress world. Sorry for sounding so b1tchy, but you should have a better idea what will sell here. If all you do is copy what other 3rd party joomla developers have already created you won't sell much of anything.
Good luck. I hope to be one of the first to purchase some of your new creations.
Bootstrap responsive templates with full magazine features is a must and lacks a lot on most templates providers as they tend to follow more commercial oriented templates (for Apps, Hosting services, Blogs/ etc…) than follow the Magazine concept.
It's one of the reasons most Magazine oriented websites use WordPress, due to the lack of full featured templates for such sites. Responsive is a must as well as Bootstrap, mostly because new Joomla rebuild (J! 3.0) will be fully Bootstrap with less use of JavaScript, etc, also been responsive.
The responsive need on the other hand, is a highly demanded feature because the net has involved and by been responsive, it catapults the platform into a higher level.
Personally, I would team up with someone to create such Joomla templates, team up or at least, give serious insights regarding the needs mostly because I own Europe's #1 Heavy Metal oriented news portal fully Joomla 2.5 based and there's features, ways that would make it work way better, for me and many other Joomla lovers.
If you do a quick search on Google, you'll come across with many posts asking the same as I, as for providers to actually provide such templates, you'll find the list quite… limited.
Just out of curiosity… Where do we stay today? Have we already reached the first 30 template uploads?

Hello OC! If my calculations are correct, there are still plenty of prizes left for the ThemeForest Joomla templates! About half have been claimed so far. You've also got plenty of time to submit them as there's still 4 weeks of the contest remaining. Good luck!
Great news! Thanks for the lightning fast reply!

Uh-Oh: Chinese Scientists Create Black Hole
Two scientists in China have developed an electromagnetic black hole capable of sucking in and trapping microwaves (not my Kid's Cuisine!). Next stop: trapping visible light.
The device, which works at microwave frequencies, may soon be extended to trap visible light, leading to an entirely new way of harvesting solar energy to generate electricity.
A theoretical design for a table-top black hole to trap light was proposed in a paper published earlier this year by Evgenii Narimanov and Alexander Kildishev of Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. Their idea was to mimic the properties of a cosmological black hole, whose intense gravity bends the surrounding space-time, causing any nearby matter or radiation to follow the warped space-time and spiral inwards.Now Tie Jun Cui and Qiang Cheng at the Southeast University in Nanjing, China, have turned Narimanov and Kildishev's theory into practice, and built a "black hole" for microwave frequencies. It is made of 60 annular strips of so-called "meta-materials", which have previously been used to make invisibility cloaks.
You can hit the link to read how the black hole actually works, but that's not what's important. What's important is that it DOES work, and we're all doomed. And here I thought my stomach was the only black hole on earth. Don't believe me? Somebody toss a cheeseburger in the air. Did you see that? Works for hot dogs too. Haha, nice try buddy -- you keep those pants zipped.
First black hole for light created on Earth [newscientist]

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — It's official. There will be no gay marriage debate in the Indiana General Assembly this year.
Legislative leaders made a joint announcement to put the debate on hold in a decision that was telegraphed a week ago. State Senate GOP Leader David Long said he asked Senate Republicans to vote on a delay.
"It was the overwhelming decision by our caucus to wait until 2014," he said.
House Speaker Brian Bosma said he was never in favor of a gay marriage debate this year.
"It is advisable to hold at this point," said Bosma. "Wait to see what the Supreme Court is going to do."
The U.S. Supreme Court will rule in coming months on a same sex marriage ban in California.
It all means that the measure to put a ban on same sex marriage in the Indiana Constitution must be acted on next year if it's to be the subject of 2014 referendum. Opponents of the ban are preparing for battle.
"Starting 320 days from today is the convening of the next session," said Rick Sutton of Indiana Equality. "We have 320 days to convince legislators to be on our side."
The public is already moving that direction according to the recent WISH-TV / Ball State Hoosier Survery.
It found 54 percent opposed to the ban and just 38 percent in support.
The survey uncovered a 45 percent to 45 percent tie on the question of legalizing same sex marriage.
The opinions of lawmakers are changing, too.
"Some legislators that supported it in 2011 are having second thoughts about it," said Bosma, "and re-examining the issue."
The ban would also prevent civil unions and the Hoosier Survey found 55 percent in favor of civil unions. Speaker Bosma says he still thinks the ban on same sex marriage will pass the General Assembly next year.
He did, however, say that if he was drafting it now he would change the portion that prohibits civil unions.
Opponents of the ban say that time is their friend. They just gained a year.

Archbishop Oscar Romero, who was murdered in 1980 while saying Mass and is a martyr for the faith, gave this amazing reflection.
I hope you will pray this with me:
It helps now and then, to step back and take the long view.
The kingdom is not only beyond our efforts, it is even beyond our vision.
We accomplish in our lifetime only a tiny fraction of the magnificent enterprise that is God's work.
Nothing we do is complete, which is another way of saying that the kingdom always lies beyond us.
No statement says all that could be said.
No prayer fully expresses our faith.
No confession brings perfection, no pastoral visit brings wholeness.
No program accomplishes the church's mission.
No set of goals and objectives includes everything.
This is what we are about:
We plant seeds that one day will grow.
We water seeds already planted, knowing that they hold future promise.
We lay foundations that will need further development.
We provide yeast that produces effects far beyond our capability.
We cannot do everything, and there is a sense of liberation in realizing that.
This enables us to do something, and to do it very well.
It may be incomplete, but it is a beginning, a step along the way, an opportunity for the lord's grace to enter and do the rest.
We may never see the end results, but that is the difference between the master builder and the worker.
We are workers, not master builders; ministers, not messiahs.
We are prophets of a future not our own.

Growing up, we've always had rabbits, but I couldn't be with them for very long because I am pretty allergic to them. (It's been several years since my last rabbit.) My friend recently got a bunny and I find myself really really wanting one again! I was wondering if anybody knew of some kind of spray, shampoo, etc. I could get to alleviate my allergies?? I am so desperate...
Oh that's right! Gravehearted made a great point about Rexes! I forgot all about that breed, as they may be better for someone who has allergies.
You also should check to make sure you are not allergic to the hay.

The Government Accountability Office has launched a new resource to help new members of Congress and other interested parties access GAO's work on a range of critical issues.
The GAO's Key Issues website, unveiled on Jan. 7, aggregates GAO audits and other information into more than 50 specific issue areas, including IT systems modernization, cybersecurity, federal telework and leadership capacity. (The information is also presented by agency.) Each area highlights significant GAO reports and other relevant content, including podcasts and videos, along with contact information for GAO subject area experts, according to the GAO.
"Following each election cycle, GAO provides information resources for the incoming Congress," said Gene L. Dorado, Comptroller General of the United States and head of GAO. "This new section of our website is intended to provide members and their staff, as well as the public, with a good overview of key policy issues across government. Our intent is to help make the transition to the 113th Congress as informed and smooth as possible."
The site includes social media buttons to facilitate link-sharing, and readers can submit suggestions for key issues to firstname.lastname@example.com.

We analyze the broad range of spin-dependent nonequilibrium transport properties of hybrid systems composed of a normal region tunnel coupled to two superconductors with exchange fields induced by the proximity to thin ferromagnetic layers and highlight its functionalities. By calculating the quasiparticle distribution functions in the normal region, we find that they are spin dependent and strongly sensitive to the relative angle between exchange fields in the two superconductors. The impact of inelastic collisions on their properties is addressed. As a result, the electric current flowing through the system is found to be strongly dependent on the relative angle between exchange fields, giving rise to a huge value of magnetoresistance. Moreover, the current presents a complete spin polarization in a wide range of bias voltages, even in the quasiequilibrium case. In the nonequilibrium limit, we parametrize the distributions with an effective temperature, which turns out to be strongly spin dependent, though quite sensitive to inelastic collisions. By tunnel coupling the normal region to an additional superconducting electrode, we show that it is possible to implement a spin-polarized current source of both spin species, depending on the bias voltages applied.

This is a simple yet creative dish that forces you to enoy eating. The combination of ingredients excited my tastebuds like no other breakfast treat I'd ever had and the different textures made each bite excting. The corncakes make this a hearty and filling breakfast dish but the egg topped with freshly diced onions, tomatoes and jalepenos lighten the load and take it over the top. You can tell when someone takes great pride in their cooking by the creativity and time they take in preparation. Lauren is a dear friend so maybe I'm biased in my review but it still takes a lot to impress me. Great recipe!

Diner Reviews
Specials are amazing. And twice
the chef "whipped up" something for a vegan friend of mine, which was outstanding!"
Dined on 3/9/2014
Simply put, one of the most
amazing meals I have ever eaten. The tagliatelle was delightful and the rack of boar was succulent and delicious!"
Dined on 8/22/2013
We returned to Erbaluce after some
months of being away. The food was as reliably delicious and the addition of more specials was a treat. Creative without being weird. Our waiter was fun, informative and helped us select an excellent wine."
Dined on 3/7/2014
This is the third time I have been
to this restuarant and the third time that I got the same waiter. When I realized that he was going to be our waiter, I should have requested a different table. Don't know if it is really this waiter or if this restaurant just has bad service. No one asked us if we wanted drinks. We had to flag another waiter to order a bottle of wine. The waiter was not engaging and really could care less about us. As indicated, this is the third time and I have received the same type of service from the same person. I give up."
Dined on 3/1/2014
This may have been one of the
worst meals I have ever had.How it got on the top 10 restaurant list in Boston is beyond me.We had a reservation for 8 o'clock. Got seated at 8:20 .waited another 20 minutes for a waiter to show up at our table. finally ordered two appetizers which were both horrible and left uneaten. We waited another hour and a half for our dinners which arrived luke warm and tasteless. We ordered three different pastas with many fancy gourmet ingredients that I think they forgot to include. The bread was even dry,no butter or dipping oil. This was a classic example of going to a "hot" restaurant because its the place to be not because its any good. Will never go again or recommend it to any one."

My husband and I recently visited
Erbaluce as part of a romantic weekend get-away w/o the kids. We both thoroughly enjoyed our dishes and found the evening's menu to be sophisticated and appreciably innovative. The staff was exceptionally friendly and attentive. We are looking forward to going back again!"
Dined on 2/22/2014
This was the second time I dined
here. The previous was a private party. The food met all my expectations. I strongly recommend the fish entrees. The appetizer portions are large, so choose carefully (so are the entrees). Keep room for desert. The peach with mascarpone desert is something not to be missed."
Dined on 2/21/2014
Not knowing anything about
erbaluce we were happily surprised by how great it was. The food was delicious, the service was great and the location was ideal for the theater district. The scallop appetizer was amazing - light, intensely fresh and beautifully prepared. The duck was the best prepared duck we have ever eaten. Our waiter recommended a wonderful wine and we would have had more if it weren't for the long drive home. The sweets (chocolate truffle, gorgeous nougat and a gem of a meringue) were an incredible surprise at the end of the meal and created the perfect end to a fabulous meal. We would go back in a heartbeat!"
Dined on 2/21/2014
Very good food here and excellent
service. One disappointment was that they only have beer and wine - no liquor. It is a much better pre theater option than most of the restaurants in the district though."
Dined on 2/22/2014
The carbonara was amazing. The
rack of wild boar was fantastic. The apple crostarda w/ rosemary ice cream was outstanding. Our bottle of Barbera was delicious (and a great price). And service was spot on. It was the perfect date night. My boyfriend and I will be back soon!"
Dined on 2/16/2014
Went here on NYE, so they may have
been over capacity, but the service was very slow and the waiter was somewhat rude and not helpful. He seemed like he was annoyed that we were there and not purchasing the $100 bottle of wine. I had the duck entree, which was very good, but the other three people in our party were underwhelmed by their choices. No liquor license is kind of a bummer, so you have to stick to beer or wine. Atmosphere is weird too, just a couple of boring rooms with no character. Been there, done it, but probably won't go back."

My girlfriend and I went here for
Valentine's day dinner and had a great experience. Food was fantastic and the service was impeccable. I will certainly be going back."

Had out of town guests and had
never been to Erbaluce before - so was somewhat hesitant to try a new place. In a town that is saturated with mediocre Italian restaurants - Erbaluce rises to the level of a rare and fantastic Boston restaurant."
Dined on 2/14/2014
It's notoriously difficult to find
parking here, and the service left much to be desired. We sat down at 845Dl ordered quickly, and the food didn't rrive until 1015. Also, small touches, such as the olive oil they use is terrible. You can taste it in the dishes, the fustiness, low quality, old, over ripe oil. The menu is handwritten, cute, but not if you're trying to read it. The design is very basic, upstairs has some commercial office looking carpet, very basic tables, and that's it . Not much in the way of ambiance."
Dined on 2/14/2014
This is our favorite restaurant in
Boston. Chef Draghi always pleases. Perfect for a romantic occasion. Also a great place to take out of town guests."
Dined on 12/31/2013
the duck was tough and the pig was
tasteless. Will not go back."
Dined on 2/12/2014
Here's a place you want to root
for - warm and inviting, tucked away in a spot in Bay Village a stone's throw from the bustle of the Theater District. It defies the tiresome Boston formula - corporate-sized dining rooms, fad-of-the-moment inspired menus, chef/owner rarely in the kitchen, mediocre execution of dishes, mechanical service. It's different - you see the chef's personal touch, service is professional without being overbearing. You sense the chance for good, honest food. But both the conceptualization and execution of many dishes fall far short. Housemade sausage in a cavatelli dish has a strange, liver-like taste, and the dish is muddled with odd herbs and garnishes. Gnocchi are well-made, but overdressed. And so it goes ..."

The food is great and the server
is friendly. It's a nice place for a romantic dinner. Will come again."

Best in Boston. Nuff said. Try it

Nice cozy restaurant near the

Caitlin was my server and she did
a fine job, one of the best waitresses I have ever had! She was always there when I wanted something and knew when I had a question about anything. She was always there just at the right and she always came by often enough but not too much. Food was great too, Caitlin was able to recommend a perfect pairing of wine and food! I will definitely be back next visit to Boston!"

ERbaluce is a small place on
Church a block from the Park Plaza. Overall, we enjoyed it very much; warm bread with interesting spreads is always a sign of a place that sweats the details. I liked the fact that a half-size pasta was available as appetizer, and my barley risotto with speck was excellent. Wine list had good by-the-glass options, and waiter brought bottle to table to show authenticity- much appreciated. My venison entree was also well prepared with pork-belly wrap and bitter greens. Dessert apple streudel with rosemary icecream was special- great flavors. The place was busy, and our waiter seemed to disappear for a while....We appreciated being seated earlier than our reservation, arriving with change in plans."
Dined on 1/18/2014
We enjoyed our evening very much.
The food was excellent and the waiter very helpful. The prices were quite high unfortunately, which makes us less likely to make it a regular event, and the pastas cost as much as the entrees so there wasn't a way to reduce the cost. We waited a long time for our order to be taken, but then the service was more timely. The main drawback was that the noise level was high, and we were seated in front of a loudspeaker so we had to contend with music too."
Dined on 1/18/2014
I had very high hopes for Erbaluce
when i saw the menu and the restaurant's website. I thought this was a place that i can compare against No. 9 Park or Sorellina, but was disappointed. We had reservations but had to wait almost 30 minutes to be seated. The best dish of the evening was the special--sea snails over salad. The dressing was well seasoned and delicious! But the rest of the dishes were mediocre. The pork cheeks main course-pork cheek itself was very tender, but the salad and the vegetable/salad side had some awkward combination of flavors that did not work well together. The dessert (chestnut cake) was described by fellow diners as "0 on a scale of 1-10." Erbaluce is trying to be a top notch chef restaurant but is falling short."

Friendly, cheerful, knowledgable
staff makes up for plain-Jane interior. Always interesting off-menu items."

We had a very nice dining
experience at Erbaluce for a recent special occasion. Everyone was very please with their food, the service was prompt but not overbearing, and the ambience was very pleasant."

We went to Erbaluce before a
weeknight show at the Wilbur. We got a reservation for an hour and a half before the show. The server asked right away whether we had tickets and did a great job of accommodating. We were even able to get dessert. Great service and interesting menu items. I would definitely recommend this place to adventurous diners. We had the bucatini pasta and the duck and both were outstanding. We had a poached pear for dessert. Fresh-baked bread before dinner was amazing."
Dined on 1/15/2014
Erbaluce was my favorite Boston
restaurant until this experience. Two hunks of stale bread with a flavorless bean dip, the razor clam appetizer special should have been served in a large bowl which would have made it easier to eat though it would not have improved the claims and the sauce, which were both surprisingly bland and boring. The entree was the biggest disappointment, with only one (the leg) of the 3 way duck special being at all edible. The breast meat was tough and the skin spongy, the duck risotto was soggy and over cooked. The only highlight was the gnocchi with wild boar ragu which I was fortunate to have ordered as an appetizer."
Dined on 1/15/2014
This was the second time I had
been to erbaluce. I was wowed by the food and general experience the first time, and therefore had high expectations, this time, everything was quite tasty but definitely not "wow" quality. Still, the chef is creative, using fresh interesting ingredient combinations to jazz up standard Italian dishes. In some cases the flavors come together well -our appetizers of crab minestre and a special pasta filled with a spiced ricotta with dried fruit and topped with duck were exquisite. The mains and dessert - less successful. We'll try again. Service was very attentive -'of course it was a quiet night."
Dined on 1/15/2014
Excellent spot with fantastic food
and a continually changing menu. Chuck is passionate about what he does and it comes through in his food. Everything is cooked without butter or cream, only olive oil which gives the food a clean light taste. You leave there full but not feeling bad. I loved everything about this place."
Dined on 1/11/2014
I was so pleased with my dinner at
erbaluce. We started with an amazing cocktail at the bar from a friendly bar tender. Then the food... fresh bread to start followed by a fabulous meal with nice sized portions and delicious wine. The food the service and the ambiance all contributed to an amazing experience and dinner. I highly recommend and look forward to going back myself."

I went to erbaluce with two
friends on a trip to the US. Albeit being on the expensive side, the food was fantastic. The scallops crudo and razor clam appetizers were amazing, with the scallops literally melting in your mouth! And the main courses didn't disappoint our expectations. I had the pork cheeks, which were tender, flavourful, and delicious. My friends ordered the duck and carbonara pasta, both of which were also highly praised. The desserts, on the other hand, we're nowhere near close to the best I have tasted. The poached pear was ok, but the pear itself was lacking flavor and the panna cotta was extremely disappointing. They lost a star for dessert. Overall, visit for excellent food but pass on the dessert."
Dined on 1/10/2014
This is a lovely, romantic little
restaurant tucked away behind the theatre district. The evening special roast duck was a jewel of a dish served on top of a red cabbage and risotto bed. Equally delicious was the black bass. Desserts also did not disappoint: a wonderful light and airy honey panna cotta and a cardamom crumbed pear tart. An unanticipated surprise of meringues and dark chocolate truffles were presented with the bill. A special touch!!"

The choices for dinner are changed
daily which gives this restaurant a fresh feel. I had the porcini mushroom pasta which was excellent, my boyfriend had the boar pasta which was delicious. For dessert we had the apple torte with rosemary ice cream which was something we had never tried before, so it was a fun play on a common fish. My boyfriend really enjoyed his after dinner coffee as they serve a Turkish style. I also had one of the organic red wines which was very pleasing. I felt that I got a lot of value for the price."
Dined on 12/31/2013
Erbaluce has very interesting and
unique menu. We were disappointed they did not have their famous carbonara on the menu for New Year's Eve. So, we ordered the pasta with white truffles and duck egg yolk. The presentation was spectacular with the chef personally shaving the truffles on each of our dishes. Unfortunately, the dish, though good, needed more seasoning. The poached lobster, venison, and duck were superb. Our waiter was exceptional, knowledgeable, and very informative. But, the service was quite slow...taking nearly an hour to get drinks. We imagine this was due to the New Year's Eve crowd. If you want a unique dining experience, give Erbaluce a try."
Dined on 12/31/2013
I found Erbaluce a few days before
New Year's Eve. Of the few restaurants that could accommodate my group, Erbaluce seemed the most promising. I had never heard of it, but it had strong reviews and I was desperate! Am I glad I chose this gem. My only complaint of the evening was the 20 minutes it took to get the first wine we ordered. The menu was fantastic - rack of wild boar, venison, portobello tagliatelle. All amazing. Try the Brussels sprouts with lemon and thyme sabaione - delicious. The owner/chef stopped by the table to talk about the cheese plate we ordered, and to make sure we were content. It was an elegant touch that summed up the whole experience. If you enjoy crafted Italian foods and wines, put Erbaluce on your list!"

Restaurant was a great find,
tucked away near the theater district. Cozy atmosphere and top notch service. Not a huge menu, but is augmented by a sizable list of chef's specials of the day. Food is Italian with a French twist. My party of 5 tried many dishes -- all were delicious and beautifully prepared and presented. Local calamari is a must-try. We shared a couple of pasta dishes, then each had a main course. The lobster special was elegant and delicious. There's an extensive Italian wine list. We were too full for dessert although the hostess brought fresh-roasted chestnuts, chocolate, and their house-made torrone. Very, very good! We'll be back."
Dined on 12/28/2013
Charming restaurant with
sensational food. At first, the welcome was a bit underwhelming. But soon warmed up and owners and staff were exceptionally professional and gracious. The food is superior and great Italian wine list. We Will go back on next trip to Boston"

With the benefit of hindsight, how different might the NL West look if given the opportunity to repick in several drafts? Brian Sabean doesn't always get the credit he deserves. The Giants GM has been lampooned for his tendency to sign players who are past their prime (outgoing skipper Felipe Alou complained upon being dismissed after the 2006 season that, "I don't believe one manager enjoys having players die in their hands") and for being out of touch with the hippest trends. Early in his tenure, Sabean went on record as saying "I am not an idiot" in defense of a trade that sent popular third baseman Matt Williams to Cleveland for four players, the most notable of which was future MVP/"Survivor" contestant Jeff Kent. All of which I'm sure is fine with Sabean, who gets results while those that would criticize him must settle for dismissing his success as a fluke or some such. The man and his team have played in three World Series in the past 11 years and won two of the last three. Clearly he is doing something right.

The oddsmakers in Vegas place some weird bets, but aren't you better off using your money elsewhere? My wife and I drove to Las Vegas this weekend for an aunt's 90th birthday party. The aunt is a Dodgers fan, but we love her anyway. She, likewise, tolerates our affection for the Padres. I typically don't make sports bets because setting fire to one's cash is more efficient, but once in a while I do. In 1997, shortly after the Padres acquired Kevin Brown from Florida, I put $20 on them to win it all the following year at 50-to-1. They got swept by the Yankees in the World Series, and I regretted not having bet on them to win the National League, which would have netted me $500. This is a BP Premium article.

Chronicling the Padres' off-field saga from 2012 and predicting its implications for the future. The Padres had a strange 2012, even by their standards. The strangeness wasn't limited to on-field action. Ongoing ownership and television contract issues often overshadowed how the team performed in games. It's all a bit convoluted, so we'll go over some background information before looking at the 2012 timeline and what effect the events of this year will have on the franchise and the city of San Diego in the short- and long-term.

The Sultan of Swing, the man more allergic to walks than most players in major-league history, drew three walks in a game. Here's the epic story of Miguel Olivo. Miguel Olivo hooked a two-run homer just inside the Safeco Field left-field foul pole last Friday night against Rangers right-hander Alexi Ogando. The eighth-inning blast extended the Mariners' lead to 6-3 and helped secure Seattle's 71st victory of 2012. Beyond contributing to a meaningless win, Olivo's home run inspired the following table (stats here and throughout the article are through games of Saturday, September 22): The remainder of this post cannot be viewed at this subscription level.

How did The Garv respond to fan chants on visiting the team he'd helped eliminate a few months earlier? At last Saturday's Dodger Stadium shindig, we heard from Vin Scully, Logan White, and Steve Garvey.

Chase Headley is having a monster season in San Diego, but could this breakout have been predicted? Where does he go from here? "When are we going to get a 'Chase Headley is awesome' article at BP? Or did I miss it?" These were the exact words, and this is the exact article. And I don't know if you missed it. What you may have missed, particularly if you are in or not in San Diego, is that Headley has been on a rampage since being omitted from the National League All-Star team. As of this writing, he leads the majors—along with the Tigers' Miguel Cabrera—with 20 homers in the second half. As in, more than everyone else. As in, more than the 15 he hit over the previous two seasons combined. This helps explain why the Padres are tied with San Francisco for the third-best record in the NL since the break.

Has a player ever hit more homers in his ballpark than an entire team has in theirs over the course of a season? Last week in this space, we observed that two players (Miguel Cabrera, Ryan Braun) had hit more home runs in their home ballparks at that time than the San Francisco Giants had hit in theirs. It was good for a chuckle or three but also got me wondering: Has a player ever hit more homers in his ballpark than an entire team has in theirs? This is a BP Premium article.

Despite his current late-season swoon, Yoenis Cespedes has exceeded expectations and hit well in Oakland's ballpark. It has been a while since I've thought about Yoenis Céspedes. That isn't entirely true. I think about him quite often, in a purely platonic way, but it has been a while since I've put those thoughts into words. The last time came toward the end of July, while marveling at Oakland's ability to win games at the last possible moment. Included in that piece was the tale of a Céspedes walk-off homer against the Dodgers on June 21. I also wrote about him back in April, when we all still wondered why the A's would sign a 26-year-old outfielder from Cuba to a four-year, $36 million deal. Between those two articles, Céspedes displayed his abundant talents and made it apparent that Billy Beane—backlash in the wake of being portrayed by Brad Pitt in Moneyball notwithstanding—might know a thing or 52 about baseball.

A small-scale study on watching a baseball broadcast from the home team and away team's perspective. Synchronized and graceful, they move like living things. Being among the estimated 40-plus percent of San Diegans who cannot watch Padres games on television in 2012, I find myself watching many games involving two teams in which I have no rooting interest. Watching baseball without regard for outcome is weird but also liberating. It allows me to focus on aspects of the game I might not otherwise consider.

Bacon-Wrapped Green Beans Recipe
Fresh green beans are wrapped in bacon and covered in a sweet sauce in this fast and simple side dish. "Every time I take these green bean bundles to a luncheon or family dinner, people beg me for the recipe," notes Julie Hewitt from Union Mills, Indiana.
- 3/4 pound fresh green beans
- 4 bacon strips
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/8 teaspoon soy sauce
- Place beans in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, for 8 minutes or until crisp-tender. Meanwhile, in a skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until cooked but not crisp, about 3 minutes. Remove to paper towels.
- Drain beans; place about 12 beans on each bacon strip. Wrap bacon around beans and secure with a toothpick. Place on an ungreased baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, garlic salt and soy sauce; brush over bundles. Bake at 400° for 10-15 minutes or until bacon is crisp. Yield: 4 servings.

Easy and impressive. To save time I have made plain green beans, poured the sauce over the beans and added the bacon crumbled before serving. This recipe was even multiplied to feed 300 at a wedding dinner.

Channel Guide: 'South Park' Exposes The Truth of City Wok | Film School Rejects
This...was the greatest episode of South Park EVER. EVER!!!!!!!!!!
I still am not sure if I like the city wok turning out to be a white guy with multiple personalities. Let him be fully chinese! (but I get it from that article)
But his fights with the japanese guy were pretty funny. "yes, I was sneaky. but so was pearl harbor, a little sneaky...."
Last edited by ucsdguy1; June 6th, 2011 at 02:44 PM.
Was an OK episode...I put it on the same level as the cripple summer episode.
Hmmm it was good.... but I don't know about "EVER!" I don't particularly like the City Wok guy as a white dude with split personalities. Why couldn't he just be a asian stereotype, rather than a white dude playing an asian stereotype?
The arguments with the City Sushi chef was great but I like the episode about Facebook and the Humancentipad a little bit better.
Look, do you guys not know the meaning of EVER????? I laughed through this whole episode and that hasn't happened since the original seasons. As the article I posted mentions, it's the best WRITING the boys have done in years. The last, oh 8 seasons, have been a few ideas cobbled together into 22 minutes of funny(HumanCentIpad, one of the glaring examples). This episode was brilliant. I am a total Butters fan though too so this one just worked so very much for me.
What the ****?
Go McKongses
First I thought it was just a jab at cynical fans who always say their new stuff is ****, but that whole thing about how it all seems ****ty now and it's all just the same **** over and over again makes me think they're ending the show.

Closing ceremony of London Games gets under way
Sunday - 8/12/2012, 4:02pm  ET
LONDON (AP) - The closing ceremony of the London Olympics has begun, kicking off with a segment showcasing a day in the life of the British capital.
Organizers say the ceremony _ scheduled to last 2 hours, 45 minutes _ is being broadcast to more than 300 million viewers around the world.
The show is set to include musical performances by the Spice Girls, The Who, George Michael, Annie Lennox, the Pet Shot Boys, One Direction, Ray Davies and the surviving members of Queen.
Thousands of athletes will be marching into the stadium and the Olympic flag will be handed over to Brazilian organizers of the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. There will be closing speeches by IOC President Jacques Rogge and chief London organizer Sebastian Coe before the flame is extinguished.

Book Description:Civil war conflict is a core development issue. The existence of civil war can dramatically slow a country's development process, especially in low-income countries which are more vulnerable to civil war conflict. Conversely, development can impede civil war. When development succeeds, countries become safer—when development fails, they experience a greater risk of being caught in a conflict trap. Ultimately, civil war is a failure of development. 'Breaking the Conflict Trap' identifies the dire consequences that civil war has on the development process and offers three main findings. First, civil war has adverse ripple effects that are often not taken into account by those who determine whether wars start or end. Second, some countries are more likely than others to experience civil war conflict and thus, the risks of civil war differ considerably according to a country's characteristics including its economic stability. Finally, Breaking the Conflict Trap explores viable international measures that can be taken to reduce the global incidence of civil war and proposes a practical agenda for action. This book should serve as a wake up call to anyone in the international community who still thinks that development and conflict are distinct issues.

The Archaeology of Ancient Egypt
Egyptologists, philologists, and archaeologists have long worked side by side in Egypt, but they often fail to understand one another's approaches. This book aims to introduce students to the archaeological side of the study of ancient Egypt and to bridge the gap between disciplines by explaining how archaeologists tackle a variety of problems.
"...an interesting read for anyone studying ancient Egypt; as Brewer concludes, only cooperative research and a greater understandin...g between archaeologists, Egyptologists, geologists, biologists and art historians can give a truly comprehensive understanding of the complexity of the human experience throughout history." --Ancient Egypt magazine, Volume 13 No. 4 Issue 76 (Feb/March 2013)
Introduction to Comparative Politics
This accessible and lively introduction to comparative politics offers a fresh perspective on the fundamentals of political science. Its central theme is the enduring political significance of the modern state despite challenges to its sovereignty. The text engages readers as it traces states' struggles against the pressures of global economic and political interdependence, fragmented identities and secessionism, transnational criminal networks, and terrorism.
"Comparativists hoping to teach undergraduates have oscillated between country-by-country approaches and abstract frameworks. [Hislope and Mughan] strike the perfect balance, joining accessibility with rigor….Five chapters cover the state is and how its operations vary across democratic and authoritarian governments. A quartet of chapters addresses the forces shearing at the twenty-first-century state: globalization, ethnic nationalism, terrorism, and organized crime…. Introduction to Comparative Politics will help students and educators understand politics across regime types….A world-class gateway to the field's most important findings and insights. I strongly recommend it." – Jason Brownlee, The University of Texas at Austin
Lectures on Quantum Mechanics
Steven Weinberg demonstrates his exceptional insight in this concise introduction to modern quantum mechanics for graduate students.
"Steven Weinberg, a Nobel Laureate in physics, has written an exceptionally clear and coherent graduate-level textbook on modern quantum mechanics. This book presents the physical and mathematical formulations of the theory in a concise and rigorous manner. The equations are all explained step-by-step, and every term is defined. He presents a fresh, integrated approach to teaching this subject with an emphasis on symmetry principles. Weinberg demonstrates his finesse as an excellent teacher and author."
Barry R. Masters, Optics and Photonics News
- 2nd Edition
Fully updated, this lively and beautifully illustrated undergraduate textbook emphasizes understanding science over memorization of dinosaur facts.
"This book is a treasure. Written on several levels (amateur, teen, adult, professional) this well illustrated text covers what is known about dinosaurs, the arguments, debates, the history of paleontology and some of the folk who study it. Great index, masterfully written. A wonderful read for the novice to expert. 3 stars. A must for anyone seriously interested in the field."
Journal of the American Association of Forensic Dentists
Modern Electrodynamics
An engaging writing style and a strong focus on the physics make this comprehensive, graduate-level textbook unique among existing classical electromagnetism textbooks. It features close to 120 worked examples, 80 applications boxes and nearly 600 end-of-chapter homework problems, with a solutions manual available to instructors at ww.cambridge.org/Zangwill.
"An outstanding achievement on so many levels, including scope, depth, insight, pedagogy, and historical background. It will become an instant classic."
John D. Joannopoulos, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Electricity and Magnetism
- 3rd Edition
New edition of a classic textbook, introducing students to electricity and magnetism, featuring SI units and additional examples and problems.
"Although the basic physics remains largely unchanged, the Purcell and Morin book has many clarifying discussions based on those experimental results, and most chapters end with current applications and a summary. Solutions to the problems represent roughly one-quarter of the text—they are a most welcome addition, particularly for self-study. (Purcell wrote out a solution manual by hand—mainly for instructors!—to accompany his first edition.) "
H. Henry Stroke, New York University for Physics Today
Game Theory
A guide to the fundamentals of game theory for undergraduates and MBA students.
Advance praise: "This book fills a long-standing need for a first-rate textbook for an undergraduate course in game theory. It strikes an almost ideal balance between accessibility and rigor with a series of well-chosen examples to light the way. The standard examples (Cournot, Bertrand, location choice) are here along with a host of less common ones (currency speculation, the Six Day War, the Cuban Missile Crisis). Anyone teaching an undergraduate game theory course should consider adopting Heifetz's book as a text." Bart Lipman, Boston University
Applied Intermediate Macroeconomics
This textbook offers a complete course in applied macroeconomics at the intermediate level that emphasizes the application of economic theory to real-world data and policy. The text is unique in developing a detailed toolkit of elementary statistics and graphical techniques for economic data. A strength is its detailed treatment of national and international financial markets and the institutions of monetary and fiscal policy, which makes it especially helpful in understanding recent economic crises.
Sports Economics
Sports Economics, the most comprehensive textbook in the field by celebrated economist Roger D. Blair, focuses primarily on the business and economics aspects of major professional sports and the NCAA. It employs the basic principles of economics to address issues such as the organization of leagues, pricing, advertising, and broadcasting as well as the labor market in sports.
"Sports Economics is an invaluable text that uses rigorous microeconomic analysis to explain a host of sports topics, ranging from antitrust and arbitration to profits and point shaving." – Charles L. Clotfelter, Duke University; Author, Big-Time Sports in American Universities (Cambridge University Press, 2011)
The Enlightenment
- 3rd Edition
New third edition of this acclaimed accessible overview of the Enlightenment, with a new chapter and guidance on further research.
Earth Materials
Key concepts in mineralogy and petrology are explained alongside beautiful full-color illustrations, in this concisely written textbook.
"The Klein and Philpotts text offers the perfect blend of basic concepts with beautiful illustrations and descriptions of the essential Earth materials for introductory students in geology and environmental geoscience courses. The book is well written and advanced concepts that are introduced are appropriate for the level. This book is destined to become widely adopted in Earth materials courses in the new, more environmentally conscious Earth science curriculums." - Chris Hepburn, Professor of Geology and Acting Chair, Earth and Environmental Sciences Department, Boston College
Matrix Analysis
- 2nd Edition
The thoroughly revised and updated second edition of this acclaimed text for a second course on linear algebra has more than 1,100 problems and exercises, along with new sections on the singular value and CS decompositions and the Weyr canonical form, expanded treatments of inverse problems and of block matrices, and much more.
"The second edition of Matrix Analysis, as curated by Roger Horn and Charlie Johnson, is the definitive source and indispensable reference for the foundations of matrix analysis. The material is comprehensive yet thoughtfully collected, and presented with insightful exposition and crystal-clear organization. This book is for anyone who comes in contact with matrices, be it applied scientist, casual user, or experienced researcher."
Ilse Ipsen, North Carolina State University

American Logistics Co. (ALC), a national passenger transportation management company, announced that they, along with Oceanside, Calif.-based North County Transit District (NCTD) and First Transit, have been selected as the winner of the Grand Golden Watchdog Award by the San Diego County Taxpayers Association (SDCTA).
The award was presented at the 16th Annual Golden Watchdog & Golden Fleece Awards Dinner, which recognizes the best and worst in local government spending practices.
SDCTA chose NCTD's innovative public-private partnerships, which outsource bus operations and maintenance to First Transit and paratransit services to ALC, because they will save taxpayers approximately $52.9 million over the next seven years, without reducing customer services or increasing fares for the public.
By implementing these contracts and other cost saving measures, NCTD was able to balance its budget for Fiscal Year 2011, with no reduction in service. At a time when many transit agencies are struggling, this is a significant achievement.
NCTD signed a contract in February 2011 for paratransit services with ALC, using ALC's Coordinated Transportation Model for service delivery. The contract is projected to save NCTD approximately $8 million in operating costs during the six-year contract period.
Additionally, NCTD's greenhouse emissions will be reduced by 30 percent, their carbon output reduced by nearly 100 tons and their CO2 output by 300 tons over the life of the contract. This reduction in greenhouse emissions is due to the reduction in both the size and number of vehicles that will be used in the paratransit program going forward.
ALC will begin operating LIFT ADA Paratransit Service for NCTD on July 1, 2011, and will also provide trip reservations, scheduling and dispatching services.

► Sex-specific infanticide occurs in some human societies but is rare across species ► Such behavior is usually wasteful and creates maladaptive sex ratio biases ► Eclectus parrot mothers kill male offspring when nesting conditions are poor ► Targeted sex-specific infanticide can improve the reproductive value of broods
Infanticide is easiest to understand when it involves killing the offspring of others [1], but a parent may also kill its own offspring if the sacrifice of currently dependent young leads to higher survival of brood mates [2] or an improvement in the parent's likely future reproduction [3]. However, sex-specific infanticide by parents of their own offspring, although occurring in some human societies [4], is rare across species. Its rarity may be because killing one sex combines wasted parental effort with consequent biases in population sex ratios that are detrimental for the fitness of the overproduced sex [5,6,7]. We show that killing male offspring can be advantageous to Eclectus parrot (Eclectus roratus) mothers even though frequency-dependent selection then elevates the reproductive value of sons above that of daughters. In poorer-quality nest hollows, broods with a single female nestling had higher reproductive value than broods in which the female had a younger brother. Our data demonstrate frequent targeted removal of male nestlings within 3 days of hatching in these specific brood types and nesting conditions. The ability of Eclectus parrots to perceive the sex of their offspring relatively early may favor decisions to kill one sex before further investment in parental care.
