Get this: I have a rock star life. And I didn't even know it.
Sure, there's a lot of good stuff in my life, and I'm quite appreciative of it: my fantastically-supportive husband, my much-too-wise-to-be-only-eight-years-old daughter, my crazy-wonderful extended family & friends, a comfortable home that will be paid for in 10 years, time and financial flexibility that I didn't foresee having before age 65, and a growing self-awareness of which Plato would be proud.
But "Rock Star"? I never would have called it that. Until I read Johnny's post on the subject.
Johnny suggests that we work-from-home-internet-types stop focusing on the yachts & jetsetting ideals that many of the internet marketing gurus model, as it can limit us in our quest for online success. I previously worked for a marketer who touted these ideals, and I met many of the gurus who were chasing and presenting their own Rock Star lives to their followers.
Much yachting and jetsetting was involved. Flying to private islands. Showing off the coveted American Express Black Card (officially called the "Centurion" card, they all referred to it as "the black card" as it was made of titanium and coated in a black sheen).
Good-natured one-ups-man-ship on the Rock Star Evaluation Scale occurred in nearly every communication. I wasn't comfortable in this arena and chose to shrink back quite a bit, eventually leaving the team and going out on my own.
With those experiences in my past, taking Johnny's advice and letting go of that definition of a Rock Star Life was not a problem for me.
Since my family's current financial goals involve plunking my earnings directly into our double-mortgage payment each month, the yacht-owning isn't really my thing. A kayak? Got one. But a yacht? No thanks.
Johnny encourages us to define our own idea of a rock star life, and then begin noticing what we already have that fits into it. In the days since reading that post, I've realized that I do indeed have a rock star life.
I've compiled a short list of my own to illustrate:
- I can sleep the day away if I choose. Of course, I won't do that because there is just too much I want to learn, see and do in this world to spend an entire day in bed. But maybe a nap would be good. The point is I could do it if I chose to. And I hadn't realized that previously. Just knowing that I could adds a bit of Rock Star feeling to my day.
- A friend wants to meet for lunch? No problem. I might have to shift some work into late evening or early morning in order to do it spontaneously, but I can do it if I want to. No clock to punch, no boss or co-workers to whom to explain a 2-hour lunch break. That is so. Totally. Rock Star.
- Twice a month I receive acupuncture treatments in the pursuit of optimal health. I haven't had a cold or illness in over a year now, a timeframe that includes the height of the Swine Flu scare in Arizona. I have spent two mornings in bed this year; one from eating something bad, and the other from drinking something(s) bad. But overall, health that is so great (and taken for granted!) that I nearly forgot to put it on this list? Definite Rock Star-ness involved.
- I own seven bras. Count them, seven. And one is hot pink, matching a skirt I own. For a girl who has always had just 2-3 bras at a time – which came in only white, beige, or (gasp!) black – having seven bras to choose from definitely falls into my new definition of Rock Star.
- My utility payments are set up on auto-pay. I didn't think about how cool that is until the day I noticed that a payment kiosk at the grocery store was temporarily offline for maintenance. Within five minutes there were six people waiting in line to pay their electric bill. I overheard a few comments like, "I'd come back later, but my payment is due by 5PM today, and I can't afford another late fee." Much foot-tapping ensued until the kiosk was up and running again. I can't even tell you what when my auto-pay hits our checking account each month – the money is just there. So I guess I'll classify that as Rock Star, too.
- Spending after-school time with my daughter focused on her instead of packing in the errands and phone calls which seemed crucial when I held a job. I distinctly remember the day I barked at my 4 year-old, "Get in the car, we're in a hurry!" and she replied with a sigh, "Mom, we're always in a hurry." That was a turning point for me.
I've identified a few others: taking my teen nieces snowboarding, occasionally picking up my toddler nieces after preschool, providing the lodging for vacations with friends & family, giving small "this reminded me of the time that…" gifts to friends & acquaintances.
He's right – I do have a Rock Star Life. My Rock Star Life.
Thanks for helping me see that, Johnny.
Have a list of your own? Tell me all about it!

Who's in this issue?
Hmm ... a small-town, corrupt sheriff. Not like it hasn't been done before in the movies, but it hasn't been done in Wolverine. I think it is apparent as to where this story arc is heading, and how it will be resolved (esp. with the fed, Carrie, hot on Logan's trail). Now the only question is how long this story is going to take to wrap up?
Nothing really sticks out from this issue. All we learn in this issue is who Lucy Braddock's father is, who the Brotherhood is, who Dennis Terril is, and how they all come together to form this story. Oh, and tha Carrie is a fed ATF agent who's now hot on Logan's heal because of her curiosity as to why Logan is interested in this Dennis Terril. It's a very straightforward issue, and the story arc so far has been very straightforward.
However ...
This is the problem: the story is too straightforward and predictable so far. Again, this begs to bring the original question back out in the open: why bother renumbering this title back to issue #1 in the first place? This is just another story in this ongoing title, and there's no "shocking change" that has been set in place for Wolverine in terms of his character development. The story, at least so far, doesn't feel any different from the more recent stories that has been featured in this title. Granted, this is just the first story being done by this creative team, but I sincerely do hope that future stories may have some more "pizazz" and originality (ie something different ...) in it.

"Brotherhood: Part 3"
A team of United States ATF agents decends at Tom Leed's apartment / firearm store. Leading the charge in to arrest Tom Leed was Cassie Lathrop, whom we thought was Tom's associate, but in fact was an undercover ATF agent. The agents arrested Tom for violating federal firearm statutes, including illegal weapon sales and interstate trafficking of firearms. Outside, as the ATF agents were wrapping everything up and Tom was hauled off to jail, Cassis asks Chris, one of Cassie's superior officers, whether he had got any information about the other person whom she was interested in investigating (Logan). They had come up with nothing, and even the license plate on his motorcyle was registered to a dead person out of state. She suspected Logan was after something, and that Logan was danger. To get more information about what Logan was after, she was going to start looking by interrogating Tom Leeds.
Meanwhile, in the town of Westfall, Logan arrived to look for Dennis Terril. While having a slice of loganberry pie and coffee, a beareded patron sitting next to him comments on Logan's motorcycle and asks whether it was his. Logan mentions he was delivering the bike to Dennis Terril, and asks the patron whether Dennis was a friend of his. The patron gets up, telling Logan Dennis didn't have any friends and those looking for him didn't have any friends either. He tells Logan to leave. Logan grabs the man's arm and pins it to the table as he finishes his slice of pie. He leaves the restaurant and heads to a payphone with the patron and a few other patrons following. As Logan flips through the telephone directory, they demand to know from Logan why he wanted to find Terril. Getting no reply from Logan, they threaten to beat Logan up. Logan replies that he wasn't looking for Terril anymore, but now he was looking for Joe Braddock, and points to the phone book. The bearded patron asked why. Logan's reply was that he knew his daughter. The bearded man, enraged, throws a punch, threatening to kill Logan and rip his eyes out. A fight breaks out between Logan and the bearded man, with the other patrons who had followed joining in. Logan holds the bearded man's arms behind his back as he fights the other three patrons. The bearded man mutters how he was going to kill Logan for what he did to his girl, Lucy. Hearing this, Logan tells the bearded man to tell his friends to back off, and with a claw, threatens to cut Joe (the bearded man). Joe tells Logan to just kill him since he had already killed Lucy. Logan tells Joe he didn't kill his daughter, but The Brothers did. He tosses Lucy's journal in Joe's hands.
Back in Medford, Cassie hands her firearm to the jail guard before entering the interrogation room where Tom was being held. The guard asks whether she wanted any company. She tells him she could handle it and enters. Moments later, the guard could hear hitting sounds coming from the room. He opens the door to see what was going on. Inside, Tom was lying on a table with one of Cassie's hand on his neck and her other hand balled into a fist. She tells the guard that nothing was going on in there, and that they were just talking. She smiles, and Tom tells the guard that they were just talking as well. The guard closes the door, and the hitting sound resumes.
Later on, as Cassie was driving, she gets a call on her radio from Chris, who demands to know from her what she had did to Tom. She tells him that Tom had just slipped, and it was confirmed by the security guard. Chris asks her what information she had gotten. She tells him that the little guy (Logan) had asked about some MAC 10s that Tommy had sold a few months back to a person named Dennis Terril in Westfall, and she figured that was where the little guy went. Chris tells her that she had nothing on the little guy except that he wanted to buy some M16s. Cassie tells him that she suspects he never wanted the M16s, but just the name of Dennis Terril, and she wants to know why.
Back in Westfall, Logan was at Joe's house. Joe tells him about the group known as The Brothers of the New World. They were led by Cry, who had a thing for girls. And to get these girls, he doesn't just take anyone, but he makes the girls disappear instead. Logan suspected that Joe was lying, asking Joe why the sheriff never looked into it. Joe curses at Logan, telling him how he came to this town looking for Dennis Terril yet not even knowing who he is. Logan then realizes that Dennis Terril was the sheriff in the town. The story according to Joe was that fourteen months ago, he had arrested Lucy for drinking, and locked her up overnight to teach her a lesson. But the next day, she disappeared, and Terril claimed that he did release her but had no idea what happened to her and would look for her. A few days passed without any word, even though he claimed he talked with the state police about it. Joe then called the state police, who said that Terril never filed a report with them about it. The next day after that happened, Terril showed up at Joe's doorstep with a few of The Brothers, and took one of Joe's eyeball for their "collection", and that if he caused any more trouble, they would take Lucy's eyes as well.
As they talked, Logan heard something outside. He looked outside to see a police car had pulled up with a pickup truck. Sheriff Terril steps out with four others from the pickup truck. Terril tells Joe to tell his "friend" to step out of the house, a friend considered "armed and dangerous". He gave Logan three seconds to come out with his hands up. He counts to three. Once that count was up, the sheriff tells the other guys that the person coming out had a gun. The men and the sheriff open fire at the house.

category dropdown hack adjustments
i'm using the process outlined here (http://wphacks.com/how-to-make-categ...rop-down-menu/) to create the horizontal category navigation bar on this site: http://castilloleathergoods.com/.
"Pool Cue Cases" is the only category that has any child categories so when you hover over that heading, you'll see the dropdown.
Two Questions:
1. how do I make it so that some sort of indicator (i.e. >> or ↓ or ▼) appears right next to that heading so that visitors know to hover over it to see the dropdown????
2. in Internet Explorer, part of the dropdown gets covered by the rotating image gallery plugin on the homepage. what do i do so that the dropdown appears in front of this content???

1. For the marinade, in a large bowl mix together yogurt, salt, cumin, curry powder, tumeric, paprika and pepper. Place chicken in the marinade, coating all sides well. Refrigerate chicken in marinade 2 to 24 hours.
2. Meanwhile, for the chutney, in a medium saucepan over medium heat combine sugar, vinegar, ginger, and cinnamon and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, stir in one cup berries, peach, and cloves and simmer 2 minutes. Let cool completely. Finely chop remaining 1/2 cup berries and add to chutney. Serve chilled, if desired.
3. Prepare a covered grill for direct grilling. Remove chicken from marinade (reserving marinade for basting). With a pan of water nestled in coals under the chicken, grill chicken, breast side up over a low flame, 1 hour. Cover chicken, then turn every 10 minutes, brushing chicken with the marinade each time. Continue to grill, covered, turning and brushing with the marinade until the leg is loose and the skin is crisp, about 1 hour and 20 minutes. (Do not brush chicken with marinade the last 20 minutes of grilling.) Uncover chicken the last 6 minutes of grilling, turning once. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Serve with chutney. Makes 8 servings.

Great Belt (But TERRIBLE Size Chart)
August 29, 2011
I run in an area of Houston without many public water fountains, and finally decided to get a triathlete belt for both comfort and safety's sake. The North Face Fuel Tool Belt got excellent reviews by the Runn3rs W0rld folks, and I have to (at least mostly) agree with them - it's an excellent belt so far. Fluid capacity is good, with spaces for up to 4 8oz bottles. The belt comes with two bottles in the back, with the ability to attach 2 more in the front (the additionals are sold separately). The bottles ride at just about the "right" place, on either side of your lower back. I never felt as if the bottles would slip out of place, even when empty. They fit very snugly in their holders, but aren't that troublesome to take out or put in, even while on the move. The nozzles on each bottle point outward, so you won't feel them scraping or bumping against you when running. There's a good amount of room for adjusting the fit (see size discussion below), and the velcro closure holds tight. The closure also features a very small key pocket in front. It's probably only large enough for a key and a few folded dollar bills. The back compartment is big enough for an iPhone or a granola bar. As with most running gear, the belt features reflective striping here and there. My main criticism of the Tool Belt is the comically vague North Face sizing chart. The S/M purports to fit something like up to a 34" waist. I'm a guy that normally wears a 32" or 33", but I couldn't even bring the two ends of the S/M together around me. The sizing chart should read "Extremely Small" for the S/M and "Everything Else" for the M/L. As for other criticisms, I'd like to be able to move the different features around the belt, such as moving the iPod/phone pack to the front or side. If you want that flexibility, your only option is just to physically change how you wear the belt... not too helpful. Also, I felt as if the belt rode a little "high" on my waist. I would've liked to have it sit a bit lower, on the bones of my hips, but not sure how that might work. The belt eventually slides to the thinnest part of your waist, and there's not a lot you can do about it. Another small criticism is that the bottle openings are really too small to get your garden variety ice cube through. If you want something to stay cold, you have to refrigerate it beforehand, or use crushed ice. Overall, a very solid product if you must wear a hydration belt.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Ease of use, Cons: Cost, innacurate sizing chart
Good hands-free trail running hydration source
December 07, 2011
For trail running, I wanted a hydration source that wouldn't alter my running motion and is hands-free. I found the North Face Tool Belt allows for both. My running motion did not change and the pack/bottles were light enough to where I felt it did not inhibit my speed/performance. Also, my hands were free to break my fall or allow me to push branches out of my way allowing me to focus solely on my steps. The only negative I have is being a smaller guy (31-32" waist), I felt the belt did not tighten enough around my waist. Especially when i pulled out a bottle to drink, the belt would go up with the upward movement of the bottle being lifted out. Other than that, I felt the belt was a great source for what I needed (though I may add another bottle or 2 on the belt..there is built-in room for it) and will continue to use it.Pros: Great design, Ease of use, comfortable fit, hands-free, Cons: slides up on your waist
Great product
December 08, 2011
I really like how well the fuel belt was constructed; quality materials and workmanship. The bottles are light and easy to use, I had no difficulty pulling them out and putting them back into the pocket while running. i really liked that I did not have to stop running to get a sip of water. the only negative is that the sizes are small. I got the small, my waist size is 24 inches an the measurement says 24 - 27 in for small; but the fit is snug even at the natural waist and I like the belt slung a bit lower so my elbow/forearm doesn't rub against it while I am running. I got the large for my husband and I have ended up using that one instead. I gave it four stars for this reason, otherwise this fuel belt is probably the best I have ever used. I don't even feel it while I am running.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Ease of use, Great value, Cons: sizing not so accurate

Glastonbury festivalgoers got the moves like Jagger
Hundreds of festivalgoers at Glastonbury showed they have got the moves like Jagger by taking part in a Jagger Off.
The Jumping Jack flashmob, arranged by two Rolling Stones fans to celebrate the band's first appearance at the festival, saw crowds of people taking on Sir Mick Jagger's trademark dance moves.
It was held near the Pyramid Stage, where the band will headline on Saturday night, under the watchful eye of a giant metal phoenix that is perching on top of the structure this year.
The sound system played classic Stones songs including Brown Sugar and Start It Up to about 400 flashmobbers.
Organiser James Duke-Evans said the event had gone "fantastically well".

Just reading Johnny_S's article today and noticed the discussion and link to the Hypocycloid formation article posted last season, there was this comment:
The four receivers include: Mike Wallace (speedy), Heath Miller (catchy), Hines Ward (crafty), and the bog dog, Stefan Logan (shifty).
We can call Sweed droppy, Spaeth blocky (sarcastic), Santonio can be smokey and we've got the seven dwarfs, Steelers style.
Figured it's time to update the nick names, mostly because I'm bored. Seems like Smokey and Droppy are gone for the season, so what's the updates on the nicknames?
Mike Wallace is still Speedy
Heath Miller is still Catchy
Hines Ward still Crafty
Stefan Logan still Shifty
I'll offer up a better nickname for Spaeth: Stretchy. After his ability to "stretch the field"... was it Whizz who came up with that?
Which leaves us with needing nicknames for:
Emanuel Sanders: Silky maybe?
Antonio Brown:
Arnaz Battle:
Antwaan Randle-El: Gadget?

Running Away with Katie8 09 2010
Few weeks ago my dear friend Katie and I decided to go "scout" out a location for our next shoot. It was supposed to be a work related trip. We ended up having the funnest adventure. I found a perfect partner in crime. We ate candies, hung out on the beach, collected drift woods, had delicious divine seafood, watched bad cable tv, and rode horses. The best running away from home trip ever!
Beautiful Katie. We loved the sea life painting. Cute octupus.
Thanks Katie for reminding me to take time off from work and enjoying life. Looking forward to our next adventure.
Wishing everyone a wonderful week.

Sarah Palin recently noted that there's "something different" about CNN's Jake Tapper. Tapper, author of "The Outpost," continued to distinguish himself from the media mainstream by kicking off the holiday weekend early with the #MemorialMessage hashtag. Tapper retweeted dozens of remembrances Friday evening and invited followers to carry on throughout the weekend, but not before sharing the names of some of his heroes.
This Memorial Day weekend i'll be thinking about fallen heroes such as Lt. Col. Joe Fenty, Lt. Ben Keating, and Capt. Tom Bostick.—

ONALASKA, Wisconsin (WXOW) – Lightening put a 24-hour radio competition on hold for one local group.
The Mississippi Valley Amateur Radio Association had to stop competing in a North American ham radio field day for seven hours late Saturday night/early Sunday morning.
Despite the delay, the group still made around 2,130 contacts with other ham radios in North America.
That's above average for the group, said Craig Goldbeck, president of the Mississippi Valley Amateur Radio Association.
ONALASKA, Wisconsin (WXOW) – More than 35,000 people in the U.S. and Canada are competing across the airwaves as part of the American Radio Relay League Field Day Saturday.
Radio amateurs use Morse Code, voice and computer activity to communicate with one another. It's a system many know as Ham Radio, said Craig Goldbeck, president of the Mississippi Valley Amateur Radio Association.
The club set up in the parking ramp at the Gundersen Health System Onalaska clinic to compete, but also used the day to practice emergency response capabilities.
"Hurricane Katrina and other hurricanes, they've had the power go out and communications go out and the only way to -- cell phones didn't work. Ham radio is the only way traffic would get through because people like our group would go in and set up antennas and radios," Goldbeck said.
The competition is 24 hours. It continues until 1 p.m. Sunday.

Narrative Description
The Saint Paul Roman Catholic Church Complex includes: a French Gothic style brick and stone church; an attached, brick, Neo-Tudor rectory; a Colonial Revival parish hall, a Neo-Tudor school building; and an Elizabethan Revival convent building. The complex stands on a deep, narrow site extending between Lake Shore Road and Grosse Pointe Boulevard. The church was designed by Detroit architect Harry J. Rill in the 1890s, and the original portions of the school and convent were designed by Smith, Hinchman and Grylls in 1927.
Statement of Significance
St. Paul Roman Catholic Parish was the first Roman Catholic parish in the Grosse Pointes. Its history parallels the growth of the Grosse Pointe community from the esrly nineteenth century French farms along Lake St. Clair, through the summer cottages of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, t the suburbanized year-round community of today. The entire parish complex is a distinguished example of a late-nineteenth/early twentieth-century Roman Catholic parish complex containing the standard buildings that one would expect to see in such a complex - church, rectory, parish house, convent, and school. The church, completed in 1899, is a rare example of the French Gothic Revival style fo architecture in the Detroit area. Stained glass windows by Fredericks & Wolfram Art Glass Company of Detroit, installed in 1901, and Franz Mayer & Company of Munich, Germany, installed in 1924, contribute to the significance of the church. The works of Harry J. Rill, architect of the church, and Smith Hinchman & Grylls, Inc., architect of the school and convent, are well known in the Detroit area.

SAINT PAUL CHURCH By the 1790s, French priests were ministering to farmers living along Lake St. Clair. In 1825 Father Francis Badin dedicated a log church to Saint Paul near the lake in present-day Grosse Pointe Shores. In 1850 a frame chapel was erected on the current site. Built in the 1890s, during Father John Elsen's pastorate, the present French Gothic-inspired church was designed by Detroit architect Harry J. Rill. The first mass held in the church was Father Elsen's funeral in 1899. SAINT PAUL RECTORY AND PARISH HOUSE Saint Paul Rectory, which reflects Neo-Tudor and Arts and Crafts design elements, was built in 1911. The Parish House was built around 1900 as the home of former (1876-77) Detroit Mayor Alexander Lewis. Stove manufacturer Edwin S. Barbour acquired the house in 1913. In 1925, according to plans by Detroit architect Robert O. Derrick, he renovated the house divesting it of its Neo-classical elements. Barbour's heir sold the estate to Saint Paul Parish in 1959.

Governor Calls Special Session For Civil Rights MuseumBy Jeffrey Hess | Published 31 Mar 2011 05:46pm |
Final details for building a Mississippi Civil Rights Museum in Downtown Jackson could get worked out next week. Mississippi. MPB's Jeffrey Hess reports.
Governor Haley Barbour announced his plan to call a special session for next week early Thursday morning.
Barbour says law makers need to approve the money for a Mississippi civil rights museum and history museum in downtown Jackson.
"It is very important to education and tourism. And more importantly to the image of the state. I think it is critical that these be finish before the beginning of the bicentennial celebration in 2017. That is the urgency behind doing it now," Barbour said.
The Two museums are expected to cost more than 75-million dollars.
The process bogged down over whether or not to require private matching funds to build the structure.
Senator John Horhn of Jackson says the state should fund the museums .
"These are both entities of the state. We have never had a situation where an entity of the state is required to have private funds before any construction would take place for those entities. I think we are setting a dangerous precedent and I don't think it is proper in these case or any case," Horhn said.
The Governor agrees that the state should pay for the buildings but says they should accept private donations for the exhibits.
Representative Tyrone Ellis of Starkville says the legislature could still reach a deal without a special session.
"And I think that it gives him a posture of having control and getting the job done in the special session. It gives you a little bit more authoritativeness, if you will, on how you are to bring it about because it gives him an opportunity to state his case, make his case, and win his case," Ellis said.
Law makers already extended their session to deal with the budget. The special session will run concurrent with the extended session to avoid the cost of bringing the law makers back to Jackson.

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) - Saturday marks the 100th anniversary of the discovery of the Verendrye Plate near Fort Pierre.
The South Dakota State Historical Society says eight documents relating to the history of the Verendrye Expedition and the Verendrye Plate discovery are available on the South Dakota Digital Archives. The online collection features brochures, photographs and firsthand accounts of the discovery and history.
French-Canadian brothers Francois and Louis Joseph Verendrye were trying to discover a route to "the Western Sea" when they claimed the land for France on March 30, 1743 atop a bluff overlooking the Missouri River near present-day Fort Pierre.
The Verendrye Plate is on display at the Cultural Heritage Center museum. It provides evidence of the location of the expedition and its journey through present-day South Dakota.

Gold fever - Cunningham targets discus throw, Grant tackles javelin
LONDON, England — Jamaica's gold medal hero Alphanso Cunningham will go after his second gold medal of the 14th Paralympic Games this morning (UK time) when he lines up in his pet event the men's discus throw F51/52/53 starting just after 10:00 am in Olympic Stadium in Stratford here.
Cunningham is on a high after winning the javelin F52/53 gold on Tuesday with a big personal best 21.84m.
Jamaica's third competitor Sylvia Grant, who is in her seventh Paralympic Games, will also be in action when she takes part in the women's javelin F57/58 later in the evening, starting just after 7:00 pm.
After a disappointing fourth four years ago in Beijing, China, Cunningham is seeking to atone and based on performances coming into the event today and his training over the past month, he is the class of the field.
Other top contenders are Toshie Oi of Japan, the defending champion and Paralympic and World Record holder who has a season best 23.30m and American Scot Severn, who has thrown 23.43m so far this year.
Oi threw 26.21m to win in Beijing in 2008 after setting the F53 World Record with a toss of 26.62m two years earlier.
The dreadlocked Cunningham has consistently beaten his personal best 26.45m in training both at the pre-Paralympic training camp in Bedford earlier and in training here in London.
The Jamaican, Oi and Severn are the only F53 classified athletes in the field and are expected to contest the medals, while Latvia's F52 Aigars Apinis, the F52 Paralympic and World Record holder, has also gone over 20.00m.
Jamaica's competitive schedule closes in the afternoon session where Grant, the oldest in the field at 49 years old will go after her seventh Paralympic medal.
While some may think the elusive gold medal may be out of her reach, the feisty Grant says she is ready for the challenge. "I feel ready, but the classes have been mixed and the 58s are stronger, but I won't watch that... (I will) just be going out there to do my best," she noted.
While she got off to a late start in her preparations, she said she had made a lot of strides since the start of the training camp in Bedford and was hopeful. "To tell the living truth, I never trained that hard," she said on Tuesday as she waited for the victory ceremony for the men's F52/53 javelin that team-mate Alphanso Cunningham had won earlier in the day.
Grant said that when she got to Bedford she was throwing just over 17.00m, but has since improved that to 19.00m. Still she knows that is not good enough and she has to step up to get into the final.
Based on past performances, she is the fifth ranked in the F57 class with a personal best 20.36m.

I have been wondering: how does attendance affect hitting performance?
By now we've grown used to seeing guys hit poorly once we acquire them, and seemingly hit well once they leave. Recall 2009: Matt Holliday performs okay-but-not-to-his-standards for us, then tears it up for St. Louis. Jason Giambi looked like he was completely washed up; but since then, even after adjusting for the Coors effect, is still doing all right for his age.
How much of this can be attributed causally to low attendance and lack of atmosphere at the Coliseum? Continued after the jump
Lest I give you false hope, I have not had time to carry out my own statistical analysis of this issue. So I don't know the answer to the question. But I will comment on a few things that perhaps can inspire someone else to do so.
My hypothesis is that: even though the Coliseum is a pitcher's park, at least part of its run-suppressing effect lately is due to sparse crowds and lack of buzz at games. I think this would hurt both teams' hitting, since players just wouldn't feel amped for the game. I even suspect that this hurts the A's more than visitors, since they see it (demoralizingly) day in and day out - though not to the extent of eliminating home field advantage.
Econometrically, it takes some care to discern the causal effect. Simple park factor stats lump together the objective pitcher-friendliness of the park and the "lack of buzz" effect. And we can't simply compare high-attendance games vs. low-attendance games either, since certain teams systematically outdraw others (think Yankees vs. Marlins), and that introduces other factors. Ideally, we would need a controlled experiment where we change nothing else about a game except the attendance, and see how that affects hitting performance. That is, "Marlins with small crowd" vs. "Marlins with big crowd"; "Yankees with small crowd" vs. "Yankees with big crowd."
EDIT: Thanks to those bloggers who have taken an initial look at the stats. A simple correlation between hitting and attendance is a place to start, though unfortunately not fully informative, since it can't distinguish the direction of causation (better hitting --> higher attendance or vice versa). mendelbob's observation that the year-to-year correlation is stronger than the in-season correlation shows the not-too-surprising effect that fans respond to winning. Now the key question is how much of the in-season correlation is a causal result, and not just "in-season" fan response to team success.
In a perfect world, there are a million and one things to control for. But possibly there is a creative and simple way (insrumental variable, anyone?) to answer the question in "mostly" sound technique. Anyone feel up to the task?

Gorillas (Gorilla) are the largest of all primates. They are herbivorous, ground-dwelling apes that inhabit lowland and montane forests in eastern equatorial Africa and central Africa. In addition to being the largest of the apes, gorillas are also the most endangered. They face numerous threats including habitat loss, hunting and disease such as Ebola. Gorillas also inhabit regions of political instability where civil wars rage. This creates a dangerous environment for the gorillas and makes conservation efforts very difficult. Of all the gorilla subspecies, the Cross River gorillas are the most endangered. There are less than 300 Cross River gorillas living in the wild, making it one of the world's 25 most endangered primates.
Gorillas move by a method known as knuckle walking in which they walk on all four limbs. Their feet and hands touch the ground and they hold their fingers in a folded position so that their knuckles touch the ground. They can also walk bipedally for short distances.
Gorillas form social groups which are referred to as troups. Troups are structured around one adult male silverback (a term which refers to the silver patch of fur which forms on the back of a mature male).
Gorillas are a group of great apes that includes two species, the eastern gorilla and the western gorilla. Each of the two gorilla species are further subdivided into two subspecies. Eastern gorilla subspecies include the eastern lowland gorilla and the mountain gorilla. Western gorilla subspecies include the western lowland gorilla and the Cross River gorilla. Gorillas belong to the Homininae, a group of hominids that includes humans, chimpanzees and gorillas.
The closest living relatives of gorillas are chimpanzees and humans. Gorillas and the other members of the Hominidea—a group that includes orangutans as well as humans, chimpanzees and gorillas—diverged from a common ancestor 7 million years ago.

Assuming no lockout, what is the usual start date? I'll be in the states in either August or October - just want to (finally) see a game, and I'm not sure when it usually starts.
Also, does anyone know when the schedule is usually released? As in, when can I find out where the suns are playing. I doubt I'll get to Phoenix (I am sure you are all heart broken) so catching a game in another city is probably my best bet.

The last weekend in Julys "Exhibit by the Bay" was a lot of fun and the attendance was young and healthy, but large-item buyers were few. Most of the pieces sold ranged from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand for most dealers. Despite the low average tickets, there were enough sales for most dealers to cover their expenses, plus a little. Not too bad for a first-time show.
While there were clearly fewer dealers than at show manager Stephen Cohens top flight LA Show, the booths at Photo San Francisco displayed as interesting a selection of material as at the Photo LA show, and most in attendance seemed to enjoy themselveseven seeming, at times, to be overwhelmed by the large selection of material.
The hall had great skylights, so lighting was less of a problem at this venue. But next time, might I suggest that the show management carpet those concrete floors, like the art fairs do. It would make the viewing (and exhibiting) experience less tiring and add a bit more elegance to the building.
I only got to hear part of a panel session on San Francisco photographers. William Hunts dramatic reading of his choice of images was great fun.
Deborah Klochko of Friends of Photography said, "Fifteen years ago we were at a stage where political agendas were important. Now photography seems to be revisiting more formal qualities with a beauty about them, but a beauty from very unlikely sources." And she wasnt kidding, citing examples of subject matter like cotton candy. Actually the images of this spun sugar product were kind of interesting, believe it or not.
Bill Hunt seconded her idea, by noting, "Works seem to be less tense than they use to be, and there is more artfulness than there was five or ten years ago."
SF MoMA associate curator Doug Nickel talked about "diminished documentary styles." He used Nan Goldin as an example of a new documentary style that avoided "a sense of appropriation and speaking on behalf of cultures." Goldins documentary style was limited to "her own life and friends in a reduced anthropological way. Nickel thought Goldin only wanted to speak about her own group."
The idea was interesting but the photographers he chose would not be my choice of material. Most I found to be self-indulgent and simply silly.
I kept thinking to myself: how would any of this material hold up to any of the better 19th or 20th century images that were at all comparable? My answer was: they were very poor imitations for the most part. Yes, I actually enjoyed some of Bill and Deborahs choices, but none could be remotely confused with a master of photography, although I thought Frank Yamrus portraits during orgasm were strong images.
I was sorry to have to miss panel presentations by Marni Gillette of SF Camerawork and Jo Leggett of Photo Metro. I think they may have been more grounded in what photographers were really doing in this town, given that they were representing local photographic media. From the images published in Photo Metro about these selections, I found two of Leggetts choices to be fascinating: Deborah Hammonds faces depicting emotions (shades of the 19th centurys Duchenne de Boulogne!) and Gabriella Hasbuns double exposures using old album photos with new color images.
San Francisco is simply a great city and the weather cooperated making it sunny and moderate (even cool early in the week). The city and its people are also extremely hospitable, and I had more than a little evidence of that during my stay in San Francisco.
Dinner with Doris, Ruth and Chris
A few weeks before Photo San Francisco, I received an email invitation to dinner. The invite was from one of my favorite people, Doris Folberg.
Doris has had more than her fair share of trials. Her husband Joe Folberg, who founded Vision Gallery, died from cancer a number of years ago.
Joe had been a second father figure for me. Crusty, overweight (until his cancer) and usually crunching on a cigar, Joe was not your archetypal photo dealer. But under that rough façade was a generous and warm man whose passion for the medium and the art of the deal had no equal. His wife Doris always shared his enthusiasm for photography and his warmth for people.
At 80 years old, Doris herself has and is facing cancer with a straightforwardness that is disarming, to say the least. She maintains a wonderful sense of humor while facing things head-on. I only wish I had some of her sense of balance and courage, although Doris would never call it courage.
Doris and I have continued to stay in touch and always try to find time to get together. I was particularly pleased to have her email me. It was icing on the cake for her to also invite photographer extraordinaire Ruth Bernhard to join us.
For a woman with considerable fortitude, Doris is still a tiny and fragile-appearing individual (looks can be deceiving), who when driving her car always looks like she might need blocks on the pedals. Joe had bought her a huge boat of a Buick years ago that dwarfed her, but even in todays smaller Infiniti she still looked somewhat out of place behind the wheel.
Doris picked me up at my hotel and we drove to Ruth Bernhards row home.
Ruth had just gotten back home and had actually forgotten about the dinner engagement, but after a quick change and application of make-up, she and her friend Chris, a nurse and fellow photographer, joined us for dinner at Fringales, one of San Franciscos better new restaurants. The food and the service were excellent, but it was the company that was the real attraction.
Chris and I chatted about her interest in documenting the wonderful murals of the city, which were extremely ephemeral. Often only days would go by before graffiti covered these beautiful pieces. I remember Joe Folberg driving me in the Buick through a tiny alleyway in an Hispanic neighborhood, which had fabulous examples of these muralsall now gone.
I got a chance to talk with Ruth as well. In answering my questions about how she worked with her models, she told me that her models were all amateurs who did it because they wanted to work with her. She also feels that as a woman she could put her female models more at ease than any male photographer could.
She stunned me momentarily when she noted that "Two Forms, 1963," were two women. My own preconception had made the couple a man and woman. I asked her why she had changed her printing on this image so much over the years. Ruth replied it was simply because she thought "differently" about the image over time. Just differentlynot better, not worse.
It is too bad that most museums and collectors dont follow this idea up by collecting different prints of the same image. Usually the only time this happens is by accident, when an institution is given a photographers archive. And then rarely would the same image be shown in different printings. I can only recall one instance where I saw a museum do this: New Yorks Metropolitan with the Flat Iron Building by Steichen during its awe-inspiring show on the Photo-Session.
We talked about Ruths love of natural history. She collected all those shells one sees in her images. "Only if the animal is still in the shell, is the shell beautiful," Ruth told me. In fact, she collected her shells in Sanibel, FL, not on the lovely beaches there, but off shore, trawling on boats. She then often kept live specimens in a salt-water aquarium. At that point in her career, time was spent shuffling back and forth between seasons and New York.
She later worked in New Mexico and finally met Georgia OKeefe. Steiglitz had told her that her work reminded him of OKeefes. Many of her unpublished pieces up on her walls at home are flowers, like OKeefes, and her Rosary and Steers Head are similar to another OKeefe icon.
Ruth is very energetic at 94 years old. Scott Nichols is planning a 95th birthday bash for Bernhard in October, and she says, "Ill take all the birthdays celebrations that I can." Amen to that for the entire group of us.
Hospitality Overflows in San Francisco
This was indeed a week for overflowing hospitality.
Museum curator Robert Flynn Johnson hosted a small dinner party on Friday for a few dealers and friends. He and friend Josephine were very amiable hosts, and his collection of master drawings was a great diversion from the weeks photographic images. Robert pointed out a drawing of Julia Jackson on the dining room wall, a frequent model for Julia Margaret Camerons camera.
I find that discussing art in general gives you a fresh perspective when viewing photography. The genteel chatter in the Johnson household felt like what important salons of days-gone-by must have been likeperhaps even in Camerons own house, which featured many of the days great figures. My own conversation (perhaps dulled by good wine) wasnt quite up to the comparison, but I thoroughly enjoyed the sparkling discussions and observations from around the table, as well as the great food.
The next night San Francisco dealers Paul Hertzmann and Susan Herzig graciously threw the doors of their home open wide to their fellow dealers at the show. The spread for the party was diverse, plentiful and downright delicious. A good time was, indeed, had by all.
Finally, the Johnsons had fellow dealer Dave Winter and me back over for a quick dinner on Sunday night, after David had gallantly helped me finish packing (Im usually the last to leave because of the sheer quantity of material).
All in all, the weeks display of warmth and generosity was well appreciated by this observer and--I am certain--the rest of those involved, because we dealers usually have to eat in bad restaurants very late in the evening in order to accommodate the late hours of the typical exhibit show. My thanks to all of the above people for your very kind hospitality.
Let me recommend a photography show that is currently at the New York Metropolitan Museum (the one that ISNT on strike) and will continue through September 3rd. World-class collector Thomas Walther has tapped his inventory of snap shots to put together an exhibit and a book that is both quirky and striking. He was nice enough to have me invited to the opening, which was held just two days after I got back from my last trip to France in June. And while my impressions were somewhat impacted by jet lag, I still found the exhibit rather fascinating.
Given that most of these images are probably the least expensive photographs in Walthers vast collection, it was indeed a strange setting for them. But Thomas, more than a lot of collectors, has always had the courage of his own convictions, rather than depending on big names or high auction prices to validate his choices. Not to say that he hasnt bought heavily at auction, or to say that his collection is not littered with top masters. But for him, the image has always come first.
What makes it interesting is that $50 prints (in some cases, perhaps even less, and in some, a bit more) are now on the walls of the prestigious (and often--in the past at least--overly prestige-conscious) Met and have been reviewed favorably in the New York Times.
Several dealers who had supplied some of the images were at the opening party (undoubtedly their first major museum opening), drinking a bit too much and mumbling about how they now felt themselves validated by the show. I am not sure that was the case, but perhaps now collectors and institutions will feel more comfortable making decisions based on image, instead of pedigree or just on the photographers name. Great photographers indeed take great photographs, but so do lesser lights on occasion. The only difference is that a great photographer has a strong BODY of work. Even great photographers take and make bad prints.
Buying by name alone is the worse form of naiveté, because it indicates a lack of education about photography (or any art, for that matter). And education is cheap to get. It just requires your time and disposition. You can start that education by visiting the Met and the Walthers vernacular show.
By the way, I noticed that the Mets able curator, Maria Morris Hambourg, took the selection process even one more step beyond Walthers already fine eye, when she picked out the images which were clearly the most intriguing and complete for those "gifted" by Walther to the Met.
Having these images at this fine institution will help to unsettle a lot of people (a very positive outcome in my way of thinking), which should make for the best gift of all.

ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) -- After a snowy March and April, it only seems fitting that we carry it over into a record-breaking May.
Thursday's snowstorm has downed trees, sent cars into the ditch, left thousands across the area without power and residents are still digging out.
Things are starting to look normal in downtown Rochester--normal that is for maybe February.
However, power outages have been a huge issue in the area, at one point 10,000 people in Rochester were without power. As of Thursday night, Rochester Public Utilities says that number is down to 1,000, and crews from Austin and Elk River will be coming Friday to help restore power.
The heavy wet snow has caused problems both for power crews and those just digging out.
Armed with shovels, scrapers, snow blowers and a fire in the fireplace, as area residents dug out from the spring snowstorm, everyone seemed to have the same reaction.
"I've lived in Rochester for 22 years and this is the worst I've seen in my neighborhood," said Judy Savage.
"I've lived in Minnesota now since 1957 and I've seen, you know like everyone, a few May sprinkles, but has anybody alive seen a storm like this," said John Willaman, a Byron resident.
As far as we know, no one ever has, as May 2, 2013 is one for the record books.
There is one storm it seems everyone has to compare it to.
"I remember the storm of 1991, the ice storm, in October, and that was pretty nasty," said Duane Ellsworth, a Rochester resident who spent the whole day without power.
Thursdays's snow, which some compared to wet cement, downed branches and whole trees --taking out parked cars, dangerously weighing down power lines and wiping out electricity to entire neighborhoods.
It's even caused some damage that can only happen in Minnesota.
"I put the roof on my gazebo on Saturday," Ellsworth said. "It was such a nice day, and it totally 'Metrodomed,' collapsed downward. I've got a twist of metal now and fabric in my back yard."
But when you're pulling your snow blower out of storage, scraping the snow off your roof or huddling around your fire place, you have to laugh to a little, and look on the bright side. After all, this is Minnesota. We can take it.
"It will leave me with some sore shoulders but it's a good workout, better than putting on a spandex shoot and going down to a gym somewhere," Willaman said.
Maybe if we're lucky, May will be the season that comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.

Berkeley County deputies have arrested a Live 5 Most Wanted suspect sought by Summerville police.
Joseph Allen Dean, 34, was wanted on charges of failure to stop for a blue light and grand larceny in connection with a May 23 incident in which an officer tried to pull Dean over.
"Saw a trailer without any tail lights in an area where we've had an extensive amount of air conditioning units and motorcycles stolen," said Capt. Jon Rogers.
Officers tried to stop Dean and that's when he stopped the truck got out and ran, according to Rogers.
"Turns out once we got it all sorted out he had borrowed the truck from a friend and then he had gone and stole the trailer from someone else."
Dean has a long criminal record that includes several convictions for theft.
He was taken into custody over the holiday weekend.

This was the most impressive game Romo has played, to date.
Sounds absurd, right? Stay with me for a minute while I explain.
Romo was putrid, horrible, pathetic, terrible, and any other adjective you want to use, for 57 minutes. He made Rex Grossman look like a viable option. He made some wonder what Ryan Leaf is up to these days and if Jerry still has Quincy Carters number on speed dial. He was that bad.
With all of the adversity, with all of the mistakes, most young QBs would have simply given up, or pressed too much leading to more mistakes.
Not Carrie Underwoods boyfriend. The pressure never got to him. No anxiety. Not a hint that he'd lost confidence in himself. Nope, all superromo did was calmly lead his team down the field to score a TD with 20 seconds left and a chance to tie the game. Then, made two perfect throws toward the sideline to allow some dude name Nick to become an instant Folk hero in Dallas.
To me this was far more impressive than 4 and 5 TD passes in blowout games. This game showed his resilience, his heart, his guts in the face of tremendous adversity. Something that had been questioned before this game. That question has been answered resoundingly positive.
If anyone wondered whether Romo is a championship caliber QB before this season, it wasn't the 119 quarterback rating in the first 4 games that proves he is. It was the absolute stinker he pulled out on Monday night.

It's official. I'm done. Finals are OVER! I can finally have my life back and start getting into the Christmas spirit.
On Saturday, we braved the cold and the snow to attend Tommy's company Christmas party. His company always goes all out for their holiday parties and this year was no different. We ate (too much) good food, enjoyed some drinks and amazing desserts.
Sadly, I had to spend Sunday in the books because I had my last final. I spent seven hours on the exam. Seven hours of my life that I will never get back. And after I was done, what was the first thing I did? I went to Target. We picked up some things that I needed for wrapping presents and some more Christmas cards to mail out. How cute are these?
Last night, we finally got to put our Christmas tree up and decorate the house a bit. With the renovations and everything that's going on, we didn't do as much as we usually do, but I cannot wait to make up for it next year. I told Tommy last week that I've already got our Christmas decorations planned for next year. I seriously can't wait.
I am absolutely thrilled to have all of next week off. We are planning on doing some Christmas-y things around the city, baking and enjoying Christmas with family. I haven't been this happy in a while and it feels GOOD.
Are you in the holiday spirit yet?

Singled Out: "He Said, 'Yo, If You Ever Needed Me On Anything, Please Let This Be It'"
Tuesday, Feb 5, 2013 2:35PM
[SOHH highlights a hot record each Tuesday and offers a unique look at the track in Singled Out. After Havoc broke down his "Tell Me To My Face" anthem, Brooklyn's Skyzoo decodes his "Spike Lee Was My Hero" single.]
The single "Spike Lee Was My Hero" is one of my favorite records from Dream Deferred. When I write records, I like to come up with my title first. It's just something I've being doing for years and years now.
I'll write down a bunch of song titles on my phone or on a piece of paper, just collecting them and then when it's album time, I like to bring them out. That was just one of those titles I've been sitting on for a while. It just came to me. I loved where I knew I would take it. When I came up with the title, I was like, "Okay, I know where I'm going to take it."
When I finally sat down to do it, the beat just matched up so perfectly with it. I was listening to these beats from Tall Black Guy, who produced it, and when I got to that beat, I was like, "This is it." I knew it was that song title because it felt like superhero music with the horns. It felt like the opening of a superhero flick or a superhero cartoon. It just screamed superhero music. I just knew it was it.
I really didn't have any ideas of putting anybody on the record. That's why there's two verses and then there's a bridge, all from me. I didn't really have any idea of putting anybody else on the record. I was in the studio with Talib Kweli one day, doing some work on his mixtape and when we got finished for the song for his mixtape, he said, "I know you're working on the album, man. Let me give you something."
I had the flash drive on me and I played him a couple of my records and when I got to "Spike Lee Was My Hero," before I even played it, I said, "Yo, this is 'Spike Lee Was My Hero' I'm going to play you." And before I even got to it he said, "Yo, I already love the record and I haven't heard it yet." I said, "Oh, okay. Cool." So I played the record and then when the record was done, he said, "Yo, if you ever needed me on anything, please let this be it."
When he did the verse and I heard how he did it, it just made sense. It was like how it was supposed to happen that way because where I took it was more subliminal and where he took it was more literal. It was the perfect bounce off each other because it wasn't like we both said the same thing.
I don't really talk about Spike in my verses. I talk about the things that were going on around me and I lead up to the hook where I talk about Spike but Kweli kept it kind of literal and talked about going to school at Brooklyn Tech and being in the neighborhood of Fort Greene. He kept it more lyrical which I thought was perfect.
The fanbase Skyzoo has been able to acquire stretches from the street to the workplace to high places, leading to memorable placements: "Popularity" was featured on the seventh season of the HBO hit Entourage; his music was featured in video games NBA2K11 and NBA2K12 (the first artist to be included in the franchise twice), as well as Grand Theft Auto 4: Lost and the Damned; his music has also set the tone for ESPN's KIA NBA Shootaround; and the rapper has a longstanding relationship with Brand Jordan. Skyzoo has toured with Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, Pharoahe Monch, Sean Price, and Buckshot, as well as internationally in places like China. He's collaborated with other respected artists including Pete Rock, Hi-Tek, Jake One, Flo-Rida, Maino, Little Brother, EPMD, N.O.R.E, Wale, Talib Kweli, Ace Hood, Sean Price, and Don Cannon.

Since I told Jared that if I made another photoshop, I'd create a new thread to throw them all in there.
I give you...
I like to call this one, "The picture that will get my fired from work". I did a Google image search of "Shaved Beaver Skin". No. Serious. I'm that stupid. Luckily, I had Google family filter set to "Arabian Women Only". I'll still have to explain how I was only wasting time photoshoping T.J. Ward with a partly shaved and tattooed beaver instead of using what the internet is really really great for.
I call this one, "See... really. I was surfing safe and clean! That shaved beaver search was an honest to goodness search" It's the Google font saying "Go Ducks" in yellow and green. Do you believe me, Boss? What's that? Time theft? That's some crazy supervillian sounding stuff. I'm not smart enough for that. I searched "Shaved Beaver Skin" at work for goodness sake.
This one is called "I can think of a joke, but I suck at punchlines". Personally, I think if the Ducks were to build a dam, it would be way cooler. Wood is so old and out dated. Sorta like fullbacks. Think about it though... Joey in time square is almost 10 years old now. It's time to do something bigger. Imagine a picture of LaMichael James spinning for the Heisman on Hoover Dam. Speaking of that, one spin of LaMichael James produces more power than a Hoover Dam turbine. It must be true. I wrote it on the internet.
I call this one, "Actually, that's kinda gross." I've played football on a goose poop filled field near sunriver. Every tackle added about an extra 2 yards from sliding across. Remember the '08 @ Cal game? It was kinda like that only replace the water with thick gooey white/yellow/green/black avian turds. I'd like to think that's where the bird flu came from. I just think Oregon State players could enjoy this as part of their home field advantage. Nobody would care though, because nobody goes to OSU games anyway.
And finally, the newcomer.
I call this one, "Not even close... Hey there Amanda!".
Make your own punchline/story. I'll just keep looking at the Oregon Cheerleaders. Hi Amanda!
Kudos to zoonews over at CGB. The OSU cheerleader photo was taken with his very own camera! And he survived Corvallis!
I might make a few more tonight, but if any of you have anything you'd like to contribute, please do. (Heck, even ideas work for me, tonight.)

Hot summers, little precipitation and infrequent ice cover have the Lake Michigan/Huron watershed near record lows.
Captain Tom Kelly from Inland Seas Education Center studies the drop and he's seen the headache it's causing for boaters first-hand. Many boaters simply can't get to a launch ramp and for those who can, it's not a piece of cake. A lot of people have found themselves stuck in their docks or their slips this fall as the water lowered and suddenly they couldn't get their boats out.
Shipping companies are taking a big hit, losing hundreds of tons of capacity for every inch the lakes go down.
Kelly says 'By this time, we would expect from looking at the overall records of Lake Michigan, the levels in general would have started coming back up by now, but they haven't, they've stayed low.'
The Army Corps of Engineers predicts we'll be setting new record lows in the next few months, sparking the question of the role of climate change.
Kelly says 'People that are studying climate change are telling us that this could be the result of a shift in climate, we may not expect to see those levels go back up to where they were.'
'You can't look at what's happened this year or last year and say this is climate change because it just takes longer and because we've seen over the historical record period it's gone up and down.'
Whether this is a result of climate change or just an extremely low point of the normal water cycle, if the levels don't go back up soon, big changes will have to be made. Sinking profits for shipping companies and draining the number of boaters visiting local harbors. It will force expensive dredging onto governments and private companies.
There's also industries affected like power generation in Sault St. Marie and Niagara Falls and places up the St. Lawrence River. If there's less water going through there they generate less electricity.
9&10's Ann Marie LaFlamme and photojournalist Jeff Blevins have the details on the trend of our sinking Great Lakes.

Congratulations to the Ladies! A few questions and challenges come to mind:
1. Could Coach Curry could take over the men's program?
