Anthropoidea includes New and Old World monkeys, apes and humans. Fossil evidence suggests the earliest Anthropoids date to the mid-Eocene and early Oligocene in Asia and Africa. Unlike prosimians, anthropoids have a fused mandibular symphysis and frontal bone, complete prostorbital closure, larger brain, and shorter snout. Anthropoids rely less on smell than on sight and are primarily diurnal. Most anthropoids have a 220.127.116.11 or 22.214.171.124 dental formula, less procumbent incisors, hypocones on the upper molars, and semimolariform lower premolars. Some anthropoid groups exhibit canine sexual dimorphism, and nearly all have nails instead of claws.
Catarrhini is comprised of Old World monkeys (Cercopithecoidea) and apes (Hominoidea). Catarrhines first appear in the late Eocene and early Oligocene in Africa, with Cercopithecoids and "apes" distinguished by the Miocene when apes radiated into Eurasia. Catarrhines are distinguished from platyrrhines by several specializations, including narrower nostrils, contact between the frontal and sphenoid bones, and an extended bony ear tube. Catarrhines have a 18.104.22.168. dental formula. All Old World monkeys, gibbons, and some chimpanzees have ischial tuberosities and sitting pads. Catarrhines lack an entepicondylar foramen on the humerus.

The earliest cercopithecoids, or Old World monkeys, are African in origin and date to the early Miocene. Extant cercopithecoids are more taxonomically diverse than hominoids, and are the most widespread of all nonhuman primates. While initially viewed as primitive catarrhines, cercopithecoids are now appreciated as being quite derived and specialized in their own regard. Compared to hominoids, cercopithecoids have reduced or absent maxillary sinuses and relatively narrow nasal aperture. Cercopithecoids have bilophodont lower molars, long trunks, narrow elbow joints, and relatively long olecranon processes. Many members have a long tail.

Hominoids are taxonomically less diverse than cercopithecoids. The earliest fossils were found in late Oligocene and early Miocene deposits in East Africa, with most hominoids extinct in the late Miocene. Hominoids exhibit all catarrhine characteristics, but are distinguished from Old World monkeys by a broader nasal region and palate, and larger brains. Hominoids have rounded cusps, large hypocones on upper molars, and a "Y" pattern on lower molars. Compared to Old World monkeys, hominoids have relatively long arms with short elbows (olecranon process). They have broad thoraces, a relatively short lumbar region, a broad ilium, broad femoral condyles and a robust hallux.

Of the two subfamilies in Cercopithecoidea, Cercopithecinae and Colobinae are distinguished by dietary adaptations, with the former more frugivorous and the later more folivorous. Molecular evidence suggests these two groups probably diverged around 14 million years ago.

Hominidae are the great apes, and include four genera: Pongo, Gorilla, Pan and Homo. The only nonhuman great ape from Asia is the orangutan; all other ages - Gorillas, chimpanzees and bonobos - are from Africa. Like gibbons, the great apes lack a tail, have broad thoraces and long arms. However, they are distinguished from the gibbons in having much larger body sizes, increased sexual dimorphism, a robust canine, broad ilia, and a robust fibula. They also are more terrestrial than gibbons, especially the African apes which rely predominately on terrestrial, quadrupedal knuckle-walking. Pongo is more arboreal than the African apes, but do walk on their fist ("fist-walking") when terrestrial.

The Hylobatids are the smallest apes, found in Southeast Asia and parts of Indonesia. While they retain many monkey-like features that in part bestow on them the title "lesser apes", they are highly specialized in some anatomical and behavioral aspects. For example, their extremely long forelimbs relative to their hindlimbs relate to specialized locomotor styles including a rapid form of brachiation known as "ricochetal" brachiation. Among the apes, gibbons are the only group that consistently exhibit ischial callosities, relatively longer lumbar vertebral column, and no sexual dimorphism.

Cercopithecines are found in Africa, with one genus, Macaca, radiated to Asia and parts of Europe. Group members range widely in body size and degree of arboreality. Cercopithecines are recognizable by their bilophodont lower molars, narrow nose and palate, and relatively long trunk. However, compared to colobines, cercopithecines are considered more generalized in their morphology and diet. They have a narrower interorbital region and broader incisors than colobines. They have a shallow jaw, low cusped molars, and a "simple" unspecialized stomach for eating a variety of foods. The fore- and hind-limbs of cercopithecines are more similar in length than those of colobines.
Citations: Fleagle 1999, and Harris 2000
Colobines are the leaf-eating cercopithecoids, separated into the colobus monkeys (Africa) and the langurs (Asia). Colobines are considered to be more anatomically specialized compared to cercopithecines, and are easily distinguished from the latter by their sharp-cusped molars and relatively narrow incisors. Their crania exhibit a broader interorbital region, and their jaws are deeper compared to cercopithecines. Postcranially, they have relatively longer legs, and short or absent thumbs. They also have a complex, sacculated stomach (like a cow) that houses bacterial colonies for digesting complex cellulose. In general, they are relatively more folivorous and arboreal than cercopithecines.
Citations: Fleagle 1999
Ponginae contains a single genus, Pongo, or the orangutans, found only in Asia. There are two forms: the Sumatran orangutan and the Bornean orangutan, which likely diverged about 1.5 Ma, though their taxonomic relationship remains debated. All orangutans are extremely sexually dimorphic, with males about twice the size of females. Unlike African apes, orangutans have high rounded brain cases with poorly developed brow ridges, tall, narrow orbits set close together, and a prognathic snout with a convex premaxilla. Their molars have low cusps, covered covered in thick, pitted enamel for opening the tough cases of some fruits. Their forelimbs are very long, and their fingers very curved.

Recent molecular studies have determined that Gorilla, Homo, Pan are all so closely related to each other that they should be placed in their own subfamily: Homininae. All members of this group are primarily terrestrial, though their habitats and diets varies significantly. All have low rounded cusps on their molars, "Y-5" molar cusp patterns, and a 220.127.116.11 dental formula. Additionally, Homininae taxa have been known to exhibit some form of bipedalism, including the facultative bipedalism of Pan and Gorilla to the habitual bipedalism of Homo.

Allenopithecus, the swamp monkey, is a medium-sized cercopithecine found in western and central Africa. It lives in flooded forests, and eats primarily fruits. Little is known about its natural behaviors. Skeletally, several researchers have suggested this species is perhaps the most primitive cercopithecine.
Citations: Fleagle 1999
Miopithecus, the talapoin monkey, is the smallest-bodied catarrhine. They are found in the riverine forests of western and central Africa. Up to two species may be recognized: M. ogouensis (Gabon talapoin), and M. talapoin (Angolan talapoin). They are quadrupedal walkers and runners, and exceptional leapers. They are also known to be quite adept at swimming. Anatomically, it has been suggested that talapoins are a neotenic guenon, because of their large head, large eyes and short snouts, which are characteristics of young animals.
Citations: Fleagle 1999
The patas monkey, Erythrocebus patas, is one of the most terrestrial primates. They are found in western, central, and eastern Africa. Patas monkeys are medium-sized quadrupedal walkers and runners and have slender bodies, long limbs, and long tails. They live and primarily forage in grasslands and savannahs, where they eat grass seeds, shoots, and acacia gums. They typically reside in single-male groups of up to 12 individuals.
Citations: Fleagle 1999
Vervet monkeys (also known as grivets or green monkeys) are widespread throughout sub-Saharan Africa. Several distinct species may be recognized, including: Ch. aethiops, Ch. cynosuros, Ch. djamdjamensis, Ch. pygerythrus, Ch. sabaeus, and Ch. tantalus. They are semi-terrestrial quadrupeds, and inhabit both gallery forests and open savannah. Vervets eat a large variety of foods, including fruits, gums, shoots, and some invertebrates. Socially, vervets reside in large multi-male multi-female troops.
Citations: Fleagle 1999
Guenons (Cercopithecus) are a diverse group of small-bodied arboreal Old World monkeys found throughout sub-Saharan Africa. Up to 19 species may be recognized. While they are all predominately arboreal, they exhibit variation in preferences for canopy level and forest type. They are frugivorous and insectivorous, and travel and forage in large groups, that are sometimes comprised of multiple guenon species. Anatomically, they have short snouts, longer legs and tails than most other cercopithecines.
Citations: Fleagle 1999
Macaques are the only cercopithecine group found in Asia and Europe. They are extremely successful, and include wide-ranging species such as M.fascicularis, M.fuscata, M. nemestrina and M. mulatta. Macaques have the widest distribution of any nonhuman primate group. In part, this may be due to their generalized anatomy. They are medium-sized cercopithecines, characterized by long snouts, high-crowned molar teeth having low cusps, long third molars and simple stomachs.
Citations: Fleagle 1999
The genus Mandrillus contains two species: the Mandrill (M. sphinx) and the drills (M.leucophaeus), both found in the dense forests of western Africa. These are large-bodied cercopithecines, and males may weigh up to 30 kg. Both species are extremely sexually dimorphic. Males also exhibit brightly colored faces. Both species may be found in either single-male and multi-male groups, reaching up to 250 individuals. Anatomically, males of both species have maxillary ridges. Both sexes have fore- and hindlimbs of nearly equal length.

Cercocebus are large, forest dwelling monkeys found throughout much of western and central Africa. Up to six species may be recognized, including: C. agilis (agile mangabey), C. atys (sooty mangabey), C. chrysogaster (golden-bellied mangabey), C. galeritus (Tana River mangabey), C. sanjei (Sanje mangabey), C. torquatus (white-collared mangabey). They are primarily frugivorous, and their typically large social groups may divide up during foraging. Once considered to be in the same genus as Lophocebus, anatomically Cercocebus is distinguished by larger teeth, an upright mandibular ramus, wide interorbital space, and a long ectotympanic tube.
Citations: Fleagle 1999
Lophocebus are small-bodied mangabeys found in central Africa. Two species are recognized: L. albigena and L.aterrimus. Members of this genus are predominately frugivorous and eat some invertebrates. They live in small groups of about 15 individuals. They are distinguished anatomically from Cercocebus by their smaller teeth, elongated skull, narrow interorbital space, and an inferiorly curved zygomatic arch.
Citations: Fleagle 1999
Recently discovered in 2005 in southern Tanzania, this primate was once considered a species in the genus Lophocebus. The highland mangabey is now considered a separate genus, based on molecular evidence that precludes its placement in Lophocebus. Little is known about this species, but it is omnivorous, primarily arboreal but comes down to the ground to move between trees, and probably lives in multi-male multi-female groups.

Theropithecus, or the gelada baboons, are found in the the Ethiopian highlands. One species is recognized, T. gelada. Males of this species are known for their long, shaggy manes. They are sexually dimorphic, and males have very large canines. Both sexes have an hour-glass shaped red patch on their chests. They are predominately terrestrial and move by quadrupedal walking and running. Geladas live in single-male multi-female groups. Anatomically, their teeth exhibit complex foldings in the enamel; they have short snouts, and long thumbs.

Red colobus monkeys are medium-sized primates (5.46-8.25 kg [females] - 5.80-12.3 kg [males]) found throughout most of sub-Saharan Africa. They range through all levels of the main canopy in large multi-male multi-female groups having up to 90 animals. They prefer eating fruit, shoots, and new leaves. Typically, one species is recognized (Piliocolobus badius), with several subspecies existing. They have longer legs than their close relatives the guezeras, and are frequent leapers.

Semnopithecus, the Hanuman or sacred langur, is found from Sri Lanka to Nepal, in a variety of habitats from tropical rain forest to deserts and cities. Until recently, all the Hanuman langurs were considered one species, S. entellus; but now, seven species are recognized including S. ajax, S. dussumieri, S. entellus, S. hector, S. hypoleucos, S. priam, and S. schistaceus. These species show considerable diversity in body size and morphology. In general, they are long-limbed, have long tails, short thumbs and long feet.

All Hylobatids exhibit a specialized locomotor style that includes a rapid form of brachiation known as "ricochetal" brachiation, which is reflected in their extremely long forelimbs relative to their hindlimbs. All gibbons are found in Southeast Asia and parts of Indonesia. Nomascus, the crested gibbons, are more closely related to the siamangs, Symphalangus, than they are to the other gibbons. In general, they are distinguished from other gibbons by their shorter, thicker hair. Adult males, and juvenile males and females, have black hair. Adult females are gold or tan.

Man dead and three hurt as car overturns near Edenfield
9:44am Thursday 9th January 2014 in News
A MAN died and three others were injured when a high-powered car overturned near Edenfield.
The dark blue BMW M5 was travelling along the A680 Rochdale Road near Fecit Lane when it crashed, police said.
The front seat passenger, a 40-year-old man from Rochdale, sustained fatal injuries.
The 29-year-old driver from Manchester sustained a broken wrist, arm and elbow. Two back seat passengers aged 23 and 24, both from Rochdale, sustained minor injuries.
Police say no other vehicles were involved but are appealing for witnesses. The road was closed for several hours and re-opened just before 3pm yesterday following an accident investigation.
Sgt Jon Allwright, from the Force Roads Policing Unit, said: "Sadly as a result of this accident a man sustained fatal injuries and we have deployed specialist family liaison officers to support the family and our thoughts are with them at this time.
"Three others, including the driver were treated for lesser injuries at hospitals in Manchester.
"We are anxious to trace any vehicles that were travelling along Rochdale Road last night that either saw the accident occur or saw the car involved, a BMW M5 registered number MW13 YYX.
"We're also keen to speak with anyone that may have seen the car travelling in or around the Rochdale area and would ask them to contact Lancashire Police on 101."

CLEVELAND, OH (5/30/10) - Anne Goodman, President and CEO of the Cleveland Foodbank, and Harry Boomer talked about the fact that one in nine people in the six counties the Cleveland Foodbank serves had to visit a hunger center for emergency food relief.
That was nearly 250-thousand people. The Cleveland Foodbank is currently providing over 80-percent of the food that local hunger centers distribute which equates to over 82-thousand meals a day.
We talked about how one might help, either through volunteering or donating money.
Goodman said that because unemployment is still around 10-percent the need is growing in all areas, including a big jump in the inner-ring and suburban communities.
The need is year round, not just during the holidays and that with summer approaching it becomes more difficult feed children because they want be able to reach them as easily as when they're in school.

Mahay declines arbitration
Braves will gain draft pick if reliever signs with another team
ATLANTA -- Ron Mahay didn't provide the Braves with a surprise that would have forced them to alter their payroll plans. His representatives informed them on Friday that they wouldn't be accepting their arbitration offer.
When the Braves made the salary arbitration offer to Mahay earlier this month, they presented themselves with an opportunity to gain a compensatory Draft pick. When he signs with another team, they'll gain a sandwich pick between the first and second rounds of next year's First-Year Player Draft.
Had Mahay accepted the Braves' offer, he would have returned to Atlanta to play next year for a salary that likely would have exceeded $2 million. Suffice to say, the Braves had always budgeted for him to reject the offer. Mahay, who posted a 2.55 ERA in 58 combined appearances with Atlanta and Texas last year, is hoping to gain a multiyear contract with an annual salary close to $3 million through free agency.

Why Running Intervals Helps Weight Loss
Want to Lose Weight? Start Running Intervals
For many of the same reasons we love Tabata workouts, interval training is a great way to push your body. Not only is it an ideal technique for runners trying to stick to their time goals and build up their stamina, but interval training also aids in weight loss.
For those individuals who've had difficulty letting go of that muffin top, an interval workout may be your ticket to success. Alternating between periods of pushing your body to the max with rest periods has been proven to help you lose belly fat. Interval training also revs up your metabolism! In a study from the journal Cell Metabolism, researchers found that periods of intense cardio can fire up certain genes that initiate the fat-burning process.
If you're not sure where to start, this 35-minute interval running playlist for beginners alternates between periods of running and walking. Pump-up music will keep your enthusiasm going and a smile on your face. You'll find that a good attitude is half the battle!

alias.conf Questions
I discovered the alias.conf function by accident. I received a huge database-driven website on a CD from http://www.catalogueoflife.org/ and installed it on my Mac, but it doesn't work - at least not beyond the home page. I don't get any responses from their support e-mail, so I want to try and figure out how to make it work one step at a time.
The first thing I noticed is there is no index page inside the main folder (col2013/ac). Instead, the default index page is apparently @ col2013ac/public/index.php. I couldn't figure out how they make that internal index page display as the primary home page until I stumbled across a file at col2013ac/alias.conf
When I type http://col2013ac/ into my browser, this default home page displays properly. (The links don't work, but that's another problem I'll tackle next.) Here's the code from alias.conf...
Alias /col2013ac "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/col2013ac/public/" <Directory "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/col2013ac/public/"> Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>
# Location = /Users/davidblomsrom/Sites/col2013ac/alias.conf # The two lines below are the original code... # Alias /col2013ac "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/col2013ac/public/" # <Directory "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/col2013ac/public/"> Alias /Users/MyName/Sites/col2013ac "/Users/MyName/Sites/col2013ac/public/" <Directory "/Users/MyName/Sites/col2013ac/public/"> Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>
You don't have permission to access / on this server.
I can easily work around the problem by simply inserting a page named index.php inside the main folder and inserting a link on that page to /public/index.php. However, I'm intrigued by this alias function and would like learn how to use it.
Can anyone see any obvious mistakes I'm making? Is it possible it isn't working right because of some other file that also has to be modified?

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVY BASE, Cuba -- A detainee is angry inside a cellblock because theres a female soldier assigned to this midday watch. The captive covers the window of his cell door, breaking the rules and blocking the guards view.
A male guard who sounds unruffled by the episode tries to settle him down.
Soldier: Whats going on, man?
Detainee: Why is she walking back and forth?
Soldier: Thats cause shes working on this block.
Detainee Shes bull----. Ill start covering, dont make me start covering and ... do a lot of stuff that you guys you dont like.
I want to call for prayer. Open the beanhole for prayer.
Soldier: OK.
At the request of The Miami Herald, a U.S. Army officer put an audio recorder inside a cellblock at Guantánamo to let the outside world hear a prisoner summon his fellow Muslim captives to prayer. It did capture the prayer call a gentle wail that wafted through a slit in a cells steel door to summon the men of Camp 5s Charlie Block to the midday dhuhr prayer.
But the recording also lets the world eavesdrop, briefly, on life on a maximum-security cellblock. It was around 1 p.m. on the third Monday in Ramadan for many of the captives their 11th Ramadan in U.S. custody.
Allahu akbar. Allahu akbar. Allahu akbar. Allahu akbar. Ash-hadu anna la illaha illa Allah ...
None of the men on this particular block have been convicted of a crime. Nor are any facing charges at Guantánamos war court.
The audio makes clear that most of the guards knew that the recording device was there. The captives did not.
It picked up cross-talk between captives and guards, who addressed their charges not by their names but by their detainee numbers.
It recorded chatter between the mostly Arab captives, who were shouting through the penitentiary-style cement walls and steel doors.
It captured the clanking of shackles as troops in combat boots quietly moved their charges from single-occupancy cells to the recreation yard where captives are kept in a labyrinth of chain-link fencing.
It offered up guards whispering into walkie-talkies wondering whether the prayer period had ended for all 20 to 30 captives in the 100-cell, $17 million, eight-year-old prison.
But mostly there are long passages of silence as the detainees went about their midday prayer.

activities and attractions in Cape May New Jersey
Walk to the Bay beach and watch the sandpipers run up and down the
sand, or flip a few horseshoe crabs that have lost their way. Swim
or sun or even bring your rod & reel and fish right from the beach.
Head in to Cape May if you wish to swim at the guarded beaches.
**Enjoy the use of four Cape May beach tags during your stay!**
Feel like shopping? Hop in the car and in 10 minutes you'll find
yourself in downtown Cape May where you can check out the Washington
Street Mall or the beach shops. While there take in a historic
house tour, rent bikes, take a carriage ride or simply stroll and
enjoy the scenery. Like antiquing? Hop back in the car and you're
sure to find plenty.
Getting hungry? Check out any one of Cape May's plentiful
restaurants. An old favorite is the Lobster House, enjoy cocktails
on the schooner out back while waiting for your table. The Mad
Batter serves up a wonderful brunch on their front porch. The Blue
Pig at Congress Hall has great outdoor seating. And if you feel
like splurging, make a reservation (before you come!) for Tisha's
on the mall. The food is fabulous, and it's a BYOB so bring your favorite bottle of wine.
Closer to the cottage, and right on the Bay is Harpoon Henry's.
This popular local spot is great place to grab a quick lunch. Or
better yet, grab a chair on the deck, order a cocktail and watch the
sunset over the Bay. It can be breathtaking and we think it's a
fantastic way to spend an evening at the shore!
For the serious golfer in the group, you'll find several challenging
golf courses within a half hour drive. For the not so serious
golfer, you'll find a driving range and a par 3 course just down the
road from the cottage. And for the miniature golfers, there are a
couple of local places and also a few in Cape May.
Birdwatchers and nature lovers you are in paradise here… but you
already know that! Enjoy the Cape May Bird Observatories, Cape May
Point State Park, Higbee Beach, Cape May Migratory Bird Refuge (Cape
May Meadows), Nummy Island, Stone Harbor Point, Avalon Seawatch, and
Belleplain State Forest.
Party boats, dolphin & whale watching tours, charter fishing
excursions and boat rentals are just a short drive from the
cottage. Or how about an afternoon at the Cape May Zoo, Historic
Cold Spring Village or touring the local lighthouses? The
possibilities are endless!
And don't forget about Wildwood! 15 minutes and you'll be on the
boardwalk enjoying all that the shore has to offer including amusement
rides and water parks.

On the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU), Region 1 website, Thilo Kootz, DL9KCE, Chairman EUROCOM Working Group, writes:
As part of the NEW LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORK (NLF) ALIGNMENT PACKAGE the European Commission is reworking some directives. One of the affected directives is the EMC directive including some major changes. Most of them are neutral or even good from an amateur radio operators perspective. However there is one slight change pickaback carried, which very much affects us.
In detail:
The definition of the term 'electromagnetic disturbance' will include the wanted signal of a radio as a possible source. This is not in line with the radio regulation of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and not in line with the vocabulary of the International Electrotechnical Committee (IEC).
IARU Region 1 will respond to it with a letter soon.
However we strongly suggest, that you contact your local MEPs and tell them about this change in the EMCD, that is neither in line with the reasoning of the New Legislative Framework, nor does it help to improve protection of radio services or equipment.
The full text of Directive 1999/5/EC can be found here.
What always interests me in these cases is why these changes are being proposed. Do ham radio kits really generate that much EMI, or is some commercial interest behind this?

Oak Bluffs Travel Tips
Oak Bluffs Rentals Are Where the Gingerbread Cottages Are Local Landmarks
Just getting to Martha's Vineyard is an experience. It is an island so forget about bringing the car. Get on the ferry or fly over to Oak Bluffs rentals on this famously beautiful island in the state of Massachusetts. Many Oak Bluffs lodging choices are famously known as "gingerbread cottages" for their bright colors and ornate moldings. The area is known for its vibrant life. These Martha's Vineyard rentals are perfect for independent travelers seeking lively vacations in this historic and beautiful area.
Oak Bluffs Rentals Let You Ride America's Oldest Working Carousel
For visitors to Oak Bluffs rentals with children, a not-to-be-missed outing is The Farm Institute, where summer programs teach both children and parents about farming. Also near Oak Bluffs lodging is the Flying Horse Carousel where children can ride the oldest working carousel in the country. Catch the brass ring and get a free ride! A more adult-type trip is the Offshore Ale Company, where a tour of the brewery includes a free sample. These Martha's Vineyard rentals really do cater to the whole family.
Take to the Air like the Aviators of Yesterday When You Stay in Oak Bluffs Lodging
Want to find out what the glory days of early flight were like? Oak Bluffs rentals are ideally placed so you can head to Classic Aviators, tug on a leather cap and goggles, and head up into the air in an open cockpit aircraft. If you have always wanted to learn to ice skate, head to Martha's Vineyard Arena and learn a new skill when you vacation at Martha's Vineyard rentals. Another trip ideal for families who stay in Oak Bluffs lodging is a visit to Island Alpaca to get up close and personal with these wonderfully fascinating animals.
Martha's Vineyard Rentals Are on Beaches with Calm, Shallow Water
Of course, no visit to the area is complete without several trips to the beach. From Oak Bluffs rentals, you will find a variety of perfect beaches. From the shallow, calm stretches across the eastern side to thundering surf on the south, there is a beach to fit whatever you want from your day. The beaches close to Oak Bluffs lodging are those in the town or at Eastville and Joseph Sylvia State Beach. All these beaches close to Martha's Vineyard rentals are on the east side and great for those with small children.

For some compelling reason I thought I would post this one again for the new guys to see. Yeah, I know, it can get somewhat annoying after a while (sort of like that Fordson snow tractor).
The last two years I had gotten PMs from a member here and there asking the same basic question because they were a little confused about a part of the video. Just for clarification, the battery cable to the starter is 84" long.

In the bottom of the eighth, with one out and a runner on first, Francisco Liriano got Gordon Beckham to hit into a 5-4-3 double play to end the inning and help preserve the no-hitter. But replays showed that Beckham was safe at first, as Justin Morneau's swipe tag caught nothing but air:
Here's the tricky part: it wasn't going to be a hit. It would have been a fielder's choice, and the no-hitter would have still been intact.
So how many Super Cool No-Hitter Points does one dock from Liriano's final tally? Is it a complete non-issue, or is Liriano's no-hitter somewhat impure?
Alright, it's probably a non-issue. But it's an interesting contrast to the Armando Galarraga/Jim Joyce game. In that game, the only thing standing between a perfect game and a one-hitter was a blown call. In the Liriano no-hitter, it's way more ambiguous. Maybe he would have given up a hit to the next batter, but that's just cynical talk. I'd like to think that he would have walked the next six hitters, kept the no-hitter intact, and lost what would have been the most epic no-hitter of our generation.
We'll never know. Pretty sure he would have walked the next six, though.
