Here are the top five questions facing the Rays in 2013. Frankly, there could have been 10 questions worth writing about.
5. What the heck will they do at First Base? As it stands now the depth chart has James Loney and Lars Anderson, which may be minimally acceptable in real baseball if you think James Loney is Keith Hernandez with the glove. But, for fantasy purposes this is a disaster, and the other options are none too enticing either. The situation is not much better at 2B.
4.  Kelly Johnson and Ryan Roberts at 2B? Kelly Johnson's once-promising potential has crashed and burned into back-to-back seasons hitting under .230 and a skills free-fall that bottomed out in 2012 with career lows in contact rate, K/BB ratio and FB%. It is not a stretch to think he plays himself out of a job. Rays' fans best strategy is to hope for a Joe Maddon miracle with his performance-enhancing pixie dust at 1B and 2B.
This leads us to Mr. Roberts, who is not exactly Joe Morgan either. But, sadly, he may be a better fantasy bet than Kelly Johnson. Roberts at least makes decent contact and can steal a base; both of which are useful for fantasy players seeking cheap speed at a scarce position.
3. Will Matt Moore be an Ace? Last year's consensus pre-season Rookie of the Year pick (nice call, fantasy baseball industry) had a much better season than it appears on the surface. ANY rookie pitcher who sticks in the rotation for a full season is a nice fantasy play the next year (The Brad Radke rule I discussed on the Fantasy Baseball Roundtable Show). Moore was better than merely sticking in the rotation; he pitched 175 innings to an ERA below 4.00 and kept his K/BB ratio above the 2.0 minimum we like for draftable AL starters. He still bears the risk of being a bust since he is likely to be overdrafted, but there is a non-zero probability that he busts loose and finishes in the AL's top five pitchers.
2. Will Fernando Rodney break the streak? After a long stretch of having different relievers lead the team in saves every year, the Rays now have Fernando Rodney coming in to 2013 after possibly the greatest relief season ever. The chances of big regression are 100%. You do not have a 0.60 ERA and 0.78 WHIP without healthy doses of luck, and the Fates obliged in 2012, but will not be so obliging in 2013. We are willing to bet that the streak continues, though right now the Closer Identifier Algorithm says "hold.â€
1. Why is Evan Longoria always overdrafted? Frankly, it is high time we stop looking at him as a fantasy star, and start looking at him as something much less. Third Base has gotten much deeper over the past few years. While the position gets deeper, Longoria keeps getting hurt, and still has never had an expected BA over .290. He hasn't run since 2010 and has never produced a $30 season. And he has shown no skills growth in his career. This is not a knock on Longoria, but on the fantasy players that keep thinking he is a first-round player, or anything close to one for that matter.

Pinus sylvestris
Scotch Pine
Evergreen, Trees
Pines are the great individualists of the garden, each species differing not only in its characteristics but also in the ways in which it responds to wind, heat, and other growing conditions.
Cone appearance (size and shape) is one identifying feature of these trees. Another is the number of needles in a bundle; most pines carry their long, slender needles in groups of two, three, or five. Young trees tend to be pyramidal, while older ones are more open or round topped.
The text gives typical dimensions for pines in cultivation, but trees often grow much larger in the wild. Seeds of all species attract birds.
All pines can be shaped, and often improved, by some pruning. The best time to prune is in spring, when new growth emerges. Cut the candles (vertical fingers of new spring growth) to promote bushiness or limit the plant's size. You can remove unwanted limbs to accent a pine's branching pattern—but remember that a new one won't sprout to take its place. In time, lower limbs of most pines will die naturally; when this happens, cut them off.
Shaping a pine artistically—in the manner of trees in Japanese gardens—requires some skill, but it isn't difficult. Cut out any branches that interfere with the desired effect, shorten others, and create an upswept look by removing all twigs that grow downward. Cut the vertical main trunk back to a well-placed side branch to induce side growth; wire or weight branches to produce a cascade effect.
Pines are vulnerable to air pollution, which causes abnormal needle drop and poor growth and may even kill trees. They are also subject to a number of diseases and pests, but healthy, well-grown plants will usually maintain their vigor with comparatively little attention. Many five-needle pines are subject to a blister rust (a bark disease that can be fatal) when grown in the vicinity of currants or gooseberries. Your Cooperative Extension Office can also offer advice concerning each tree's adaptability to your area and any local environmental or pest problems.
The number of available color variants, odd forms, and dwarf pines runs easily into the hundreds: seek them out at specialty nurseries.
From northern Europe, western Asia, and northeastern Siberia. Grows fast at first, then moderately to 30–70 ft. (possibly to 100 ft.) tall and 25–30 ft.wide. Forms a narrow, well-branched pyramid when young. In age, becomes irregular, open, and picturesque, with drooping branches. Stiff, 1 1/2–3 in.-long, blue-green needles often turn yellow-green in winter. Egg-shaped cones to 2 in. long are gray to reddish brown. Popular as a Christmas tree and in gardens. Showy red bark, sparse foliage in maturity. Wind resistant.
Cornus sericea
Grown for its brilliant red fall foliage and winter twigs; it should be cut back severely in late dorm...
Cornus sericea 'Hedgerow's Gold'
Foliage is variegated green and gold. Red stems.
Cornus sericea 'Arctic Fire'
Dark red stems on a compact 3–4-ft.-tall plant.

Knoxville (WVLT) - Many people are still picking up tree limbs and branches after Tuesday night's heavy rains and high winds.
Volunteer TV's Liz Tedone talked to one family whose roof was heavily damaged after a tree fell on it.
Tuesday night, Anthony Cespedes was driving home from the UT library. When he pulled into his driveway, he was shocked at what lay before him.
"They told me that as soon as the tree fell down, that it felt like an earthquake," Cespedes said.
Anthony Cespedes' family greeted him at the front door with the news. A tree had fallen on their house.
"The house was pretty much like it is now, water flooding into the kitchen, pretty much messing up everything inside the kitchen," Cespedes said.
The tree split through roof causing the kitchen ceiling to bulge, and because it happened in the middle of the night...
"Well, like, we just got buckets and towels and cleaned everything up and just went to sleep like kind of normal," Cespedes said.
It's not clear when the tree can be removed. Anthony's family will have to stay somewhere else the next time it rains.
Anthony and his family have lived in their home for three years. It's not clear if they'll stay there long term.

Writes Max Keiser:
Gary, email me ASAP to schedule an appearance on the "Keiser Report" to talk about Ellen Brown's book. Not to do so would expose you as all bark, no bite.
Gary told me tonight, when I mentioned the above post to him:
8:38 pm on October 8, 2010 Email Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.
Bring it on. Or, rather, bring her on. Tell Max Keiser to set the day. All I ask is that Ellen Brown be there to defend her book. He can be the moderator, take sides, do whatever he wants. But she must be there.

Q: When and where did the Hindenburg crash?
A: The Hindenburg crashed on May 6, 1937, in Lakehurst, N.J. It was the first air disaster ever recorded on film, and it took 36 lives.
Q: How long did it take for the Hindenburg to be destroyed?
A: The ship was destroyed in just 34 seconds.
Q: What was the officially stated cause of the crash at the time?
A: Air-crash investigations in the U.S. and Germany concluded that a spark ignited leaking hydrogen, but they could neither agree on the cause of the spark nor prove the hydrogen leaked. At the time, many were convinced it was sabotage.
Q: How big were the replica Hindenburg airships used by the Curiosity team when recreating the crash?
A: The Curiosity team used 80-foot (24-meter) scale replicas.
Q: How long did it take to build the real Hindenburg?
A: The Hindenburg was built in four and a half years; its construction cost $42 million.
Q: How much material was used in the frame of the Hindenburg?
A: The air-frame alone took 14 miles (22.5 kilometers) of aluminum and 85 miles (137 kilometers) of steel wire. The ship was enclosed by 350,000 square feet (32,516 square meters) of painted linen fabric. In its day, the Hindenburg was the biggest aircraft ever built.
Q: How did the Hindenburg achieve its lift?
A: The Hindenburg derived its lift from 16 air-tight cotton bags containing 7 million cubic feet of hydrogen gas.
Q: Where did the Hindenburg passengers ride?
A: Quarters for the ship's 50 passengers were in the base of the ship.
Q: Was the crash the maiden voyage of the Hindenburg?
A: No, the Hindenburg was a well established craft. Launched in 1936, she flew all over Europe, to Africa and South America, and she was the first airliner to regularly fly to the U.S.
Q: Did other countries also build airships like the Hindenburg?
A: No. By 1937, German airships dominated the skies, because no other nation had mastered the use of hydrogen (between 1918 and 1937, five British, French and American airships were destroyed by fire).
Q: What caused suspicions that the Hindenburg was sabotaged?
A: Just before the disaster, the German Embassy received an anonymous letter warning that "something will happen to the back of the Hindenburg," exactly where the disaster began.
Q: When the Curiosity team tested the theory that the Hindenburg was brought down by a bomb, how did they decide where the explosive should go in the replica?
A: After the original Hindenburg explosion, the testimony of a crewman named Helmut Lau, who saw the first flames burst, placed the explosion in the center of the airship. To test the bomb theory, the Curiosity team wired a miniature explosive between two hydrogen bags.
Q: How much hydrogen gas was used to fill the Curiosity test replica of the Hindenburg?
A: The replica was filled with 8,000 cubic feet of highly flammable hydrogen gas.
Q: Did the test bombing bring down the replicated Hindenburg?
A: The miniature bomb was able to destroy the first Hindenburg model, which told the team that the real Hindenburg could have been brought down the same way.
Q: Was the bomb theory popular in its day?
A: Yes, for a lot of people in 1937, a bombing was the obvious explanation for the destruction of the Hindenburg.
Q: Why did so many people think a bomb brought down the famous airship?
A: At the time, there seemed an obvious suspect: a German-American acrobat named Joseph Spah, who had demanded access to the hold of the ship to feed his dog. He had the acrobatic skills to climb the rigging and plant a bomb. In the minds of the investigators, he was the perfect saboteur. But Spah had no motive. He had no reason to risk his life in such a potentially suicidal mission.
Q: What piece of evidence helped dispel the bomb theory?
A: For at least eight minutes before the disaster, the back of the Hindenburg was dropping. For the Curiosity program's airship historian, Dan Grossman, this fact points to a much more likely cause of the disaster: leaking hydrogen. At the time, the Hindenburg crew tried several times to balance the ship by leaking gas from the front and water ballast from the back, but to no avail. No one has ever proved the cause of the leak.
Q: What are some of the theories for the cause of the hydrogen leak?
A: One theory is that the ship became over-stressed in its final turn, causing a bracing wire to snap, slashing open one of the hydrogen gas bags. Another theory is that a gas valve got stuck open.
Q: How much hydrogen gas leaked from the back of the ship?
A: About 50,000 cubic feet of hydrogen leaked from the back of the ship. But some of it got trapped inside the ship. This created a deadly cocktail of hydrogen and air. All it needed was a spark.
Q: What was the second theory tested by the Curiosity investigative team?
A: The second theory tested by the team was that the thunderstorm in which the Hindenburg landed that day in 1937 gave the leaking hydrogen gas the static spark it needed to ignite and bring down the airship.
Q: What happened when the thunderstorm spark theory was tested?
A: The team recreated the storm situation and the spark's purported location in the next replica Hindenburg. While a fire opened at the top of the ship quickly and the hydrogen burned fast, there was no explosive event such as was seen in the Hindenburg, and in the previous Curiosity bomb-theory test. The fire in the roof failed to match that of the real Hindenburg.
Q: After the bomb theory and hydrogen spark theory, what did the Curiosity team test next?
A: The team tested the theory that it was not the hydrogen that was ignited by the spark but instead the ship's skin that caught fire. The skin was covered with explosively flammable paint. According to an ex-NASA scientist, if the skin ignites, the chemicals produce a super-fuel called "thermite." Curiosity's test of the Incendiary Paint Theory, comparing normal aircraft skin and skin identical to the Hindenburg, however, produced no definitive result.
Q: What was the final theory tested by Curiosity to explain the demise of the Hindenburg?
A: The team's final theory was that "St. Elmo's Fire" -- a mysterious phenomenon seen for centuries, where tall objects in storms seem to produce their own lightning sparks -- triggered an explosion in the heart of the ship.
Q: What was the Curiosity team's final determination for the cause of the Hindenburg crash?
A: Putting its final Hindenburg test model into action, the team determines this sequence of events: As it approached Lakehurst, the airship became electrically charged in the giant thunderstorm; as she made her final turn to land, either a bracing wire snapped or a gas valve stuck open; the crew noticed the tail dropping and realized they were leaking hydrogen; in the back of the airship, the hydrogen mixed with air in the ventilation shafts; outside, the landing crew grabbed the landing ropes, grounding the Hindenburg; flames in the tail ignited the leaking hydrogen; and fire tracked into the belly of the ship, where it hit the source of the hydrogen leak. That was how the Hindenburg was brought down.

001. Life goes so slowly when your unemployed! I've been jobless for a week now and I literally feel like the world has slowed down. Despite the fact every waking minute at the moment is consumed by doing unversity work its really weird not actually having a job. I've worked constantly since I was 15 so its really weird having time to myself! I said to the girls at New Look I'd probably go mad and be begging to go back within two weeks! I might be right!
002. I am battling with a final major project at university at the moment and which is more important than blogging right now! Hence why sporadic updates, However I am off to London on Tuesday and Wednesday. I'm attending a New Look party, A F&F event as well as a few press days on the Wednesday. I also have a idea for a mini project that I want to do while I am in London, Its gonna be hectic but worth it! So updates will probably be non existent during this time!
003. I really really really want a high wasited bikini, like you know the vintage 1950's style, despite by excessive googling I cannot find anything I really like. I've tried all the usual suspects (ie the highstreet, asos etc). I reckon more like boutiquey, vintagey places, but I have no idea of any stores like that! So I ask you internet please help me find the bikini of dreams! This is probably the sort of style I'd like, but I'd like more colour! Maybe with a print or something? Am I being mega picky!?
004. I have a 20% code for my jewellery shop going for the next week, its "20OFF" and runs till next Sunday, Like I said earlier, I'm in London on Tuesday and Wednesday so anything ordered those days will be sent on the Thursday!

Alexandria, VA -- The world is buzzing with the hum of servers containing terabytes of the world's collective datasets. And the geosciences are no different. Geoscientists are awash in data like never before. The challenge now for the geoscience community is how to best integrate disparate datasets for communal use and establish uniform standards for data entry. Now, communities of computer scientists and geoscientists are coming together to tackle the challenge of how best to integrate the wealth of data describing the earth system and to encourage geoscientists to dust off their personal collections for integration into the cumulative data cloud.
EARTH explores the future of geoinformatics and examines how collaborations, such as EarthCube, are starting to advance the conversation. It's an exciting time to be researching and building the cyber underpinnings of the digitized earth.
Read the complete article on Big Data in the geosciences in the September issue of EARTH Magazine, available online at: http://bit.ly/170cAmy. For the complete issue, including discussion on Earth's innermost secrets, an interview with geoscientist Tanya Atwater, and new high-definition archaeological techniques used to understand obsidian arrowheads, visit the EARTH Magazine Digital Newsstand: http://www.earthmagazine.org/digital.
Keep up to date with the latest happenings in Earth, energy and the environment news with EARTH Magazine online at http://www.earthmagazine.org/. Published by the American Geosciences Institute, EARTH is your source for the science behind the headlines.
The American Geosciences Institute is a nonprofit federation of geoscientific and professional associations that represents more than 250,000 geologists, geophysicists and other earth scientists. Founded in 1948, AGI provides information services to geoscientists, serves as a voice of shared interests in the profession, plays a major role in strengthening geosciences education, and strives to increase public awareness of the vital role geosciences play in society's use of resources, resiliency to natural hazards, and interaction with the environment.

The Vikings went three sets before falling to Iola (25-18, 12-25, 25-15) and Wellsville (22-25, 25-12, 25-16).
Bowen said despite not winning a match, she was pleased with the effort and level of play.
"The girls played hard to the last point, especially during the Wellsville match," Bowen said. "This is the level of play we need at the mid- to end of October. We had smart plays, hustle plays and gave 100 percent effort which is something we had been working on in practice.
Minus a couple of missed serves, we eliminated most silly errors. I hope we can continue this level for the home tournament this weekend."
Central Heights plays Saturday in its home tournament.

Humidity 49%
Winds 9.2mph
Humidity 49%
Winds 9.2mph
Jan 10, 2013 1:11 PM by Ed McIntosh Q2 Weather Center
Don't let the sunshine and temperatures in the upper 30s and 40s totally fool you. Snow is flying in Great Falls, and the cold front has pushed past Judith Gap and Harlowton, bringing gusty winds and snow in that area.
As the front arrives in Billings, temperatures will drop to the 20s this afternoon. The chance of showers increases by 3 or 4 PM in Billings and later to the east, with the bulk of the snow potential remaining for tonight and tomorrow.
The big news is that the amount of available moisture looks lower than it did 24 hours ago. That means lowered snow totals of 5 to 10 inches in Billings look more realistic.
Temperatures overnight and tomorrow will be single digits above and below zero, and Friday will likely stay in the single digits. Temperatures may be the coldest Friday evening, and slowly warm overnight to the teens by Saturday afternoon.
Travel conditions still look ominous, with periods of blowing snow...especially east of Billings, and generally visibility concerns with periods of heavier snowfall. By Saturday, the sun is out by the afternoon at the latest, but temperatures remain in the teens for highs and single digit overnight lows.
Browse cameras from around the state! Includes 9 Montana Television Network Cameras as well as over 25 other cameras from around the state. Stay up to date with the current weather and highway conditions before you get on the road with STORMTracker TravelWatch Cameras.

Dallas World Aquarium, Dallas, Texas
Dallas , Texas
Tel: 214 720 2224
Concierge.com's insider take:
The aquarium isn't the half of this ambitious, privately operated zoological garden in Dallas's West End Historic District. An enormous glassed-in habitat reproduces Venezuela's Orinoco rain forest, monkeys and toucans gambol in the treetops, and crocodiles and manatees swim down below. In the new junglelike eight-story Mundo Maya habitat, hummingbirds and butterflies flit, panthers prowl, and bull sharks lurk over visitors' heads in a glassed-in tunnel. The aquarium has gorgeous saltwater environments ranging from British Columbia (giant octopus) to the reefs of Palau. Have a drink and a bite in the Eighteen-O-One restaurant while the kids go wild.
Open daily 10 am to 5 pm.

Cognitive Bias and the Struggle to Change One's Mind
by cognitivelycomplex
I finished up Cheryl Strayed's Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar yesterday. I'd give it a score on the better side of mediocrity, maybe a three out of five stars. There is no doubt that Strayed's life experience and ability to relate to the people asking the questions assists in conveying great, sound advice. My only issue with the book was it struggled to keep my attention as I meandered into its fourth and fifth acts. I recommend it, especially if you are intrigued by the process behind thoroughly investigating exactly how to break down a problem and give it the thought it deserves.
I moved on to This Will Make You Smarter: New Scientific Concepts to Improve Your Thinking by John Brockman, a conglomeration of written articles on ideas involving our mind and critical thinking. If you haven't gotten the clue from the title of this blog, I'm highly interested in critical thinking and how to improve it.
One of the core ideas that was explored early on in this book (I'm only about 100 pages in) is cognitive bias. Cognitive bias, I'll take Wikipedia's definition since it sources its creator Daniel Kahneman, is a pattern of deviation in judgment that occurs in particular situations, which may sometimes lead to perceptual distortion, inaccurate judgment, illogical interpretation, or what is broadly called irrationality. I'm sure anybody reading this can pick out a person in their lives who personifies the definition. If you're really open-minded, you might see yourself within that definition.
I bring this up because, as of late, I've felt that nearly everyone in my life is overly biased on almost every single moral or social issue that I bring up. None of my friends have shown an ounce of critical thinking skills when it comes to a variety of issues that plague the country. Many of them believe in some archaic opinion that is either rooted with religious overtones or in terrible ideas that were embedded in them by the very people who raised them.
The fact that I can hardly find an equal when it comes to debating the issues is saddening and making me somewhat depressed about the world. Why is it that everyone has such a hard time critically thinking about problems, seeking out facts, and… possibly, POSSIBLY changing their minds when the evidence presented points the other way?
It's a demoralizing realization for someone who is analytical in nature. I used to shrug off the idiocy I was confronted with at parties and social gatherings to flat out stupidity, but as Richard Dawkins conveys in the book — it's a stretch to think 100% of this is due to stupidity.
Education is a factor. The lack of teaching critical thinking techniques is another. The list goes on and on. How many people out there know how to create a hypothesis and run experiments to validate or invalidate that hypothesis? In my experience, not very many.
Heated debates over gun control are my best example as of late. Many people continue to quote that the assault weapons' ban was in place when Columbine occurred. Those people clearly haven't read the law that was in place from 1994 – 2004. I'll refrain from getting fully into it here, you can see my view here. It is, however, a great example of cognitive bias. I'm not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. I've shown bias plenty of times, but I have also changed my mind. In fact, I completely changed my tune about attention deficit disorder. And that was something that really opened my eyes to the power of critical thinking. We lack it, and we shouldn't.

Expert review: The UPPAbaby VISTA comes with a chassis, solid-frame bassinet and cozy SnugSeat for infant. Plus, the optional Rumble Seat add-on that makes this a stroller that will work from baby No. 1 through toddler No. 2. The bassinet includes a footmuff, carry bar and canopy with a unique pop-out ventilated SPF 50 sunshade. It's lined with a durable organic cotton-soy blend that promises to keep baby dry but comfy with its smooth and so-soft cashmere feel. (Bonus: The anti-bacterial agents found in soybean fiber make it a true sanitarian material, which guarantees cleanliness!) The stroller seat is reversible facing you or facing out and includes four reclining positions that can be easily adjusted with the handle at the top of the seat. Telescoping handles let you find your perfect pushing height and the floating arch rear axle means kicking the back of the stroller as you walk is a thing of the past. No tire pump needed for the four foam-and-rubber wheels that perform well on a variety of terrains. The under-seat basket is ample and includes two open pockets. There's no included parent organizer or cup holder, but look carefully so you don't miss the shallow zippered pocket on the seat back. Folding is an easy, one-step process that can be done with the seat attached giving it an edge over the Cameleon. The only included accessories are the zip-in rain and bug shields, but UPPAbaby offers everything from car seat adaptors and cup holders to fuzzy seat inserts to create your perfect stroller. Make sure you're picking up the 2010 model to ensure you get new features like the fully upright seat position, taller seat, removable bumper bar and one-touch on/off footbrake.
Why we love it: Great maneuvering; no-pump tires; adjustable handlebars; machine-washable seat fabric; functions from one newborn to two kids; reversible seat.
What we wish it had: Cheaper price; better canopy coverage; easier fold; child tray; full flat recline for seat.
Great for: Modern parents who care equally about design and performance or those who want one stroller to last from infancy through baby No. 2. It's also great for parents who want the looks and features of the Bugaboo... for less!
Bottom line: The 2010 VISTA offers tons of great features, style and functionality for less than comparable strollers. If only it came with a place for your cell phone and latte....
What our parent tester thought:
"The canopy is limited in its range of motion and cannot be moved forward to block the sun if it is coming in front of the rider. When I go for walks, I have to put a blanket over the stroller, because the sun's in my son's eyes and I cannot cover it with the canopy alone."
"The seat positions are very flexible, but it does not adjust at the child's hips to allow for an older child to lay flat."
"The stroller is easily maneuvered with one hand, even around tight corners."
"The telescoping handle allows for drivers of different heights to push the stroller. The basket underneath is large, provides a lot of storage space and is easily accessible. Also, the click-on, click-off breaks are easy to set and release."
