New Meadowlands Stadium: Not Just a Video Masterpiece
Much has been written about the massive video intrastructure at New Meadowlands Stadium and they way it delivers content to every visitor. But the audio system is also cutting-edge.
Architecturally, the New Meadowlands Stadium is a reflection of its time. It has as muchor moreclub and premium seating as any of the new generation of ballparks that came before it, such as the new Yankee Stadium, the New York Mets' Citi Field, or Lucas Oil Field in Indianapolis. Like air travel and hotels, major league sports today are all about the upgrade and enhancing the fan experience in order to sell more high-revenue luxury seats. As a result, the tiers at the New Meadowlands are closer together vertically than they would have been a decade or two ago to allow for more glass-enclosed VIP seating.
WJHW associate Mark Graham was tasked with maximizing the sound quality in what at the time was still considered a nontraditional acoustical environment. "You might not think acoustics plays a big role in the sound for an outdoor situation, but it does, especially with this kind of bowl architecture," he says.
Fans have come to expect concert-level sound quality in stadiums, even if they're not attending a concert. Graham's challenge was to accomplish that effect in a huge bowl enveloping the playing field, where speakers of sufficient throw to cover their particular areas might normally bleed over and create a perceivedand very annoyingecho effect. Moreover, speakers placed toward one end of the stadium would be audible to fans sitting toward the other end of the bowl. Sound traveling across the open space between them would be direct sound, not reflected, but would also be perceived as an echo.
Even the solutiona large distributed sound system with carefully programmed delays—wasn't as straightforward as it seemed. "The collapsed ceiling heights between levels, due to all the premium seating they had packed into the stadium's design, meant that the speakers overhead would be much closer than usual to fans in the stands directly below," Graham says. "A speaker might be capable of throwing up to 100 feet or more, but it might have to placed as close as 20 feet above their heads."

The Atlas of MS database provides information and data on the epidemiology of MS and the availability and accessibility of resources for people with MS at country, regional, and global levels.
The database can be searched in two ways: Query data and Export data.
The Query data page allows the user to search the contents of the database and view the results as maps, charts or spreadsheets. Note that not all variables are available in this section.
Export data allows the user to download the full dataset for an individual country or for a particular variable across all countries in the dataset.
Click on the link below to obtain a list of the variables within each category and the availability of each variable through Query data and/or Export data
Data is grouped under the following categories:
Further explanation and definition of words and phrases can be found in the glossary.
The Query box enables users to search the database within pre-defined regions, each consisting of several countries.
The Query page consists of two boxes, the upper one for querying data submitted in the 2013 Atlas of MS survey, and the lower one for querying data submitted in the 2008 Atlas of MS Survey. These two boxes are searched independently. Most, but not all, variables are shared by the two years, and selecting the same category, variable and region allows comparison between them.
To query the data for a year first select a category from the drop down menu in the query box. You will then be asked to select a variable from the adjacent drop down menu, and then a region from the final drop down menu. You do not need to specify a year. Once you have selected category, variable and region click on "go". You will then be able to select whether to view the data as a map, bar chart/pie chart or as raw data in an excel spreadsheet, by clicking on the appropriate button under "Options" on the right hand side of the box. Hovering the arrow over a country on the map will display the name of that country, and where applicable a numerical value corresponding to the selected variable.
Compare data: When you have run a query as described above you will find under "Options" a button marked "Compare data". Clicking "Compare data" brings up a new query box where you can search for another category, variable or country in the same year, and view alongside the results from your first query.
This facility allows you to either export all data for one country or export different categories of data across all countries for further analysis and comparison.
To export all data for one country select the country from the drop down menu "Select country" for the year you are interested in and click on the "export" button. You may be asked to allow a pop-up from atlasofms.org, if you see this message please click "allow once" or "always allow" to proceed, and reselect the country for export. The data for a country will be exported foe download as a PDF file.
To export data for a category click on the category of data from the left-hand drop down menu "Select category", and then click on the variable from the right hand drop down. You can either (a) click first option at the top of the variable drop down menu to export all the data in that category, or (b) select one of the individual variables below.

Al Dah to Fight in US Next
October 27, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Parvez Fatteh, Founder of http://sportingummah.com, firstname.lastname@example.com
United Arab Emirates welterweight boxer Eisa Al Dah, also known as The Arabian Warrior, is scheduled to fight his tenth bout against as yet unconfirmed opposition on December 16 in Tampa, Florida after an invite to the USA International Boxing Championship sanctioned by the International Boxing Council (IBC).
The 32-year-old Emirati (seven wins, three losses, from nine fights, four by knock-out) has been training in the United States for the past two months with British WBA Super and IBF World Light Welterweight Champion Amir Khan. Khan fights Lamont Peterson at the Walter E Washington Convention Centre in Washington DC on December 10 to defend his titles.
Al Dah, who will fly back into the UAE on Monday before returning stateside for early November for the big fight, is hoping his famous sparring partner will enable him to reach higher competency over eight and six rounds, instead of his current four round ability.
The two-time Arab, six-time UAE and three-time West European champion, will be busy stoking support for his fight when he arrives back here this week as he looks to raise the profile of the sport in this region. Local training sessions will be taking place at Bel Rematha Sports Centre.
Having first beaten Larry Foster in 2007 via technical knock-out (TKO) in the first round at Shaikh Rashid Hall, at the Dubai World Trade Centre, Al Dah went on to beat David Love by first round stoppage in 2008 at the same venue.
Al Dah also beat Karl Taylor on points at Newport Leisure Centre in Wales that same year before losing to Alfredo Valdes by second round TKO in Polanco, Mexico in 2009. Three more wins followed in the form of two points decisions either side of a second round KO against Wayne Downing and Steve Cooper in Wales, plus Matt Seawright in Knightsbridge, London [listed chronologically] all in 2009.
However, it proved to be too much in a split decision loss awarded to Anthony Woods in Florida 2010. Al Dah made up for it in front of a home crowd at the Trade Centre with a third round KO of Ignasi Caballero this February. He now seeks his first career win in the Americas, [US and Mexico] where he's previously sustained his sole losses.
Amir Khan Invited to White House for 'Eid
August 18, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Parvez Fatteh, TMO, Founder of http://sportingummah.com, firstname.lastname@example.com
British-Pakistani boxing world champion Amir Khan has been invited to celebrate Eid Ul-Fitr at the White House. Khan, the WBC and IBF junior welterweight champion of the world, received the invitation from the US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton. He was invited along with other a-of-yet-unnamed influential people.
Khan was reportedly surprised to receive the invitation but is looking forward to the gathering, telling The Bolton News, "I am looking forward to it because she is such a powerful woman. It will be nice to meet her. I have never been to Washington either so it will be the first time for me. I will be meeting her in the Benjamin Franklin Room. I go on September 7 for one or two days. She invited me to go there to meet her for Eid. She has picked a few other people who are inspirational. I think I will find out in the next few days who the other guests are. At the end of the day I love doing things like this."
Coming off of his knockout of Zab Judah through which he added the IBF junior welterweight belt to his collection, Khan will now be going off to Saudi Arabia for Ummrah. "I am going to do my pilgrimage with my family. It will be a good thing and I will do my prayers. This will be the third time I have gone," he told The Bolton News.
Khan also spoke about the riots that took place in England last week. "I was in Bolton and I saw what happened and it was a big shock. People need to channel their energies into something positive that gives them determination and goals. I have a gym and my doors are always open for people to do training. It is bad what has happened and hopefully the kids will realize what they have done is wrong," said the Bolton, England native. "I didn't think it would happen in Bolton. We have a good community over here. Bolton is such a nice place."
In regards to in-the-ring matters, Khan is now considering a matchup with Mexican fighter Erik Morales this fall, with an eye towards a possible dream showdown with Floyd Mayweather, Jr., possibly in Wembley Stadium in London, next year.
Possible Amir Khan Opponents

File: Floyd Mayweather, Jr. |
WBA and IBF junior welterweight boxing champion Amir Khan is still basking in the glory of his knockout of Zab Judah last week. While Khan had previously sought to fight WBC and WBO champion Timothy Bradley, Bradley claimed that Khan was not enough of a draw and not enough of a challenger, so he sidestepped Khan. Now Bradley is being sued by his promoters due to his failure to take on Khan's challenge.
Khan, meanwhile, has now set his sights even higher than Bradley, eyeing up a match with the great Floyd Mayweather, Jr. Mayweather has been doing some sidestepping of his own, avoiding Manny Pacquiao of the Phillipines. While the Khan-Mayweather may happen some time in the next 12 months, a more likely opponent for Khan in the short term is Lamont Peterson. Peterson disposed of Victor Cayo last week, putting him in line as a possible mandatory challenger to Khan's titles.
Amir Khan found some time to have a little fun in the wake of his recent victory. In his attempt to gain popularity in the United States, Khan made an appearance on the George Lopez show on TBS. And by all accounts, Khan was well-spoken and polished and held his own with the comedian.
Amir Khan Knocks Out Judah
July 28, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Parvez Fatteh, TMO, Founder of http://sportingummah.com, firstname.lastname@example.com
Amir Khan used his advantages of speed, height, and youth earlier this week and dominate his elder challenger, Zab Judah, to further unify the junior welterweight division of boxing. Khan knocked out Judah with a hard right hand in the fifth round Saturday night at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. In the process, he added Judah's IBF junior welterweight title to his own WBA title Saturday night at the Mandalay Bay Events Center.
Khan, age 24, definitely looked more spritely than the 33 year old Judah. After landing punches early and often, Khan finally struck Judah in the mid-section in the fifth round. Judah fell to his knees and tried to indicate to the referee that he had a received a blow below the belt. But the referee was not buying it, and he counted Judah out, to give Khan the knockout. And replays clearly showed that the final blow was indeed a clean one.
"Zab is a great fighter, but he was a little awkward," Khan said to reporters afterward. "I knew he was getting hurt and moving away and ducking. I kept hitting him right on the face and the shot that took him down hit him right on the belt. If it had gone another few rounds, I would have knocked him out with a clean shot. I saw I was hurting him and it was only a matter of time."
Judah, with 41 wins, 7 losses, and 28 knockouts, and his promoter Kathy Duva, did not agree with the decision. "It was a low blow," Judah said. "I was trying to get myself together [when I was down] and that was self defense there [going down]. He jabbed my cup. It was an uppercut and it lifted the belt and that really hurt. The punch was clearly below his belt.
Khan (26-1, 18 KOs) was leading by a 40-36 shutout on all three scorecards at the time of the knockout. "I think my speed overwhelmed him along with my power," Khan said. "I built it up from the beginning and took my time. I could've gone with the plan to knock him out sooner, but I wanted to work my way up. I'm No. 1 in the division. Now I will go back and see who my team is going to line up for me next."
Khan was supposed to face WBC and WBO titleholder Timothy Bradley Jr., but Bradley turned down the fight despite a 50-50 offer from Khan that would have paid him possibly as much as $1.8 million. "If Bradley didn't want to fight then, he probably doesn't want to fight him now after seeing what he just did to Zab Judah," Golden Boy promoter Richard Schaefer told ESPN.
Bradley, for his part, still sounds uninterested. "He's not ready for the 'Storm,'" Bradley said after the fight, referring to his nickname "Desert Storm." "I'm not impressed," Bradley continued. "I know the comments that are going to be made about this, but I'm not stressing over what everyone else is saying. When we do get in the ring everyone will see who the best 140-pounder in the world is."
Under the terms of his deal with HBO, Khan is required to fight again in December, once again in the United States. "We'll see who will be available," Schaefer said. "It might be the winner of [the Aug. 27] Robert Guerrero-Marcos Maidana fight. It might be Erik Morales. But I really don't think Bradley wants to have anything to do with Amir Khan. It was a great performance. The combinations, what a talented fighter. One more fight at 140 and then in the spring move up to 147 and go get one of the big boys."
Amir Khan Unification Fight with Bradley Off
May 12, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Parvez Fatteh, TMO, Founder of http://sportingummah.com, firstname.lastname@example.com
Pakistani-British boxer Amir Khan and his camp are moving on after an imposed deadline issued by Golden Boy Promotions to junior welterweight titlist Timothy Bradley Jr. came and went last week. Golden Boy CEO Richard Shaefer said that he had not heard from Gary Shaw, Bradley Jr.'s promoter or anyone in his camp before or after the 1pm deadline on Wednesday. Khan (25-1, 17 knockouts) and Bradley (27-0, 11 knockouts) were scheduled to meet July 23rd in Las Vegas after Schaefer had worked out a deal with Khan, Shaw and HBO. However, in the end, Bradley chose not to accept Shaw's offer of a minimum of $1.3 million, which would have been a career-high purse for Bradley. The failure of this fight to occur is disappointing for several reasons. The hype for this fight had begun even before Khan took on and defeated Paul McCloskey in England last month. But more importantly, the fight would have unified three titles in the light welterweight division, with Khan holding the World Boxing Association (WBA) title, and Bradley holding the World Boxing Council (WBC) and World Boxing Organization (WBO) belts.
For now, the back-up plan for Khan is a group of boxers that include interim lightweight titlist Robert Guerrero, Marcos Maidana (who Khan defeated in a close decision back in December), Erik Morales and International Boxing Federation (IBF) titleholder Zab Judah. Each candidate is promoted by Golden Boy except Judah, who is with Main Events, which has done several fights with Golden Boy in the past. The logical target from this list would be Zab Judah, who is the IBF light welterweight belt holder. So, with Khan's WBA belt, it would provide at least some level of unification. Discussions, however, are ongoing.

I was disappointed using this product, as I suffer from deeper wrinkles and lines and don't think this would work for an older women who needs help with smoothing out more obvious signs of ageing. As I get older my lines become more prominent on the surface of my skin, and I do get conscious about it, but now using these biocorrex capsules and they do appear to be working for me. Sometime I think you have to go through all the product that don't work to then find the ones that actually do!
I've purchased this twice. I think Olay missed the mark w the naming of this product - it is a cosmetic product that only fills wrinkles temporarily. However, it does that REALLY well. I also have garnier's 5 second miracle, and loreal's magic perfecting base, and the Olay works the best at hiding my lovely forehead wrinkles. You do have to be careful using this w makeup as it can pill. Fortunately, my forehead doesn't suffer from redness like the rest of my face, so I like to use this w a dusting of translucent finishing powder or cornstarch and then use my Laura mercier powder foundation to cover a couple of marks. My forehead is relatively dry, and I think this is probably not suited to oily skin.
I have used 3 tubes of this so far. Works great but I do prefer Nano Blur. I cannot find Nano Blur anymore as my local Walmart quit carrying it so I switched to this which is a little more expensive.
What I like about this treatment is that I can apply over my moisturizer, apply makeup and if needed I can touch up without my makeup becoming tacky. It is very silky and not tacky like Nano Blur. I consider this a primer more than a treatment. I find it a little expensive but it lasts a long time.

Worked out great and instantly!...im in my 20s and noticed by skin starting to get some lines...pretty much hid all fine lines.....for my 2 semi deep forehead lines....for me, it covered about 20 to 30%...which is actually not bad.....its more of a primer to me than a treatment so I gave it 4 stars....i also thought it was kinda pricey for the amount but I would totally buy again

This is THE BEST product to use as a makeup primer. To me this beats SmashBox, Makeup Forever HD, etc etc.
I have sensitive skin and this does not effect me at all. No breakouts, no residue, just perfectly placed makeup ALL DAY. Ignore the reviews based on its "greasy" or "oily" - that just means theyre using WAY too much. You barely need the amount that comes out at the tip of the nozzle!
I use this around my eyes, above the brow, and front of my cheeks. Brow liner works well with it and does not slide off. Its weightless, odorless, and if you streak your finger across your face your makeup still won't move.
It upsets me seeing negative reviews on this product. Its literally sacred to me.

I'm 34 and just really started to get these ugly lines under my eyes! I'm very self concious now and I'm embarrassed. I've tried everything and nothing is helping my lines until I came across this product at Ulta. I figured why not. I came home and tried it out and I'm amazed!!! Now I must say it doesn't completely diminish them but let me tell ya it sure looks alot better with it than without. My skin under my eyes absolutely looks smoother. I will be using this until I make an appointment for a dermatologist but in the mean time I will be using this Olay filling and sealing cream. Thank You Olay!!!!

First, I can see no treatment benefits from this product and think the word "treatment" should not be on the tube. It is more like spackling. The product "pills" very easily so you have to use only a tiny amount and pat in as best you can. It did not minimize the fine lines around my eyes at all. Olay must be just adding another unnecessary and ineffective product to their usually good line.
I'll start by saying that I am not and never have been a fan of 'supermarket' skincare products and generally prefer high end or natural/organic ranges but this product has totally changed my mind.
My undereye and lip wrinkles while still not very deep have recently become much more noticeable and don't fade after a good nights sleep or a facial the way they used to - in other words, they have become permanent. My sister and I were sitting at her kitchen table yesterday moaning about our aging skin and discussing our latest purchases when she handed me a mirror and a tube of the Olay Regenerist wrinkle treatment and said 'Try this'. I put a tiny amount of it over my makeup on my most wrinkly area which is under my left eye and I could see the difference immediately! It reduced the appearance of the wrinkles by about 70% and also created a nice matte, light diffusing effect on my skin. I was ecstatic and we went straight to her local Tesco (it was on sale for half price) where I bought one and she bought a back up!
I have it on today, under my eyes and around my lips (I applied it in a downward motion from about a centimetre outside my top lip in towards and slightly on to the lip) and I look as fresh as a daisy - I can't stop looking in the mirror and am quite tempted to put this all over my face the next time! I would recommend this to everyone but please be aware that it will not reduce your wrinkles as it only produces a cosmetic effect - that's fine with me though as given a choice between a product that claims to reduce wrinkles and doesn't and one that claims to dramatically reduce the appearance of wrinkles and DOES I'll go with the latter every time!!!
9 out of 10 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I found this a complete waste of money, it does nothing to help lines and wrinkles at all. There are cheaper and better brands out there.
First of all this is not for skin care. It will not reduce or diminish your wrinkles. Wrinkles will still be there if you use this product.
Second this makes for a fantastic make-up primer! Why isn't this raved about more!? I am a very acne-prone person who cannot, for the life of me, wear normal make-up primers because they break me out. This does not cause a single pimple on me and I was surprised! I use about half a pea size at most to cover my entire face so I have a feeling this tube will last. The only other primer I can use out there is NYX and that tends to be annoying to order only, pay for shipping & wait for it to arrive (yes I like instant gratification).
I just wanted to add that I didn't take a lippie off for it being mis-advertised because that felt stupid. It's a fantastic product and, until they discontinue it, I'll be buying it forever!

Road racers were initially divided into four categories. The production class included MGs, the Porsche 356, the XK120, and other models competing in stock trim. The modified category (called sports cars by the SCCA until 1959) was the catchall for stripped-down and tuned-up production models, American-engined hybrids, limited-edition Ferraris and Maseratis, and home-built specials. Any car that didn't fit production or modified specifications raced in an unrestricted category. The Formula 3 class was for open-wheel single-seaters powered by tiny engines.
Casual enthusiasts competed with production models that could be driven to the track, raced, and--assuming all four wheels re-mained intact--driven home. Serious racers were more inclined to roll their own. The low cost of potent V-8s prompted the construction of hundreds of specials geared for competition in the modified (West Coast) and sports car (East Coast) categories. Hot-rodder Ak Miller built them to compete here and abroad. Max Balchowsky concocted nine Old Yallers powered by various domestic V-8s. In 1962, Roger Penske beat Dan Gurney and Jim Hall with his Zerex Special, a wrecked Cooper F1 racing car rejuvenated with new bodywork and an Indy-car engine.
Cozzi never dreamed of taking on the big guys; his challenge was convincing his dad that a teenager--with a little help--could build a car. The elder Cozzi treated his son's proposal like a bank loan application, asking the tough where, when, who, how, and at what price questions. The answers were ready: Nielsen would continue his advisory role. The family's basement--equipped with power tools and workbenches--would serve as the construction shop. Cozzi would take a one-term break from his engineering studies to complete the rolling chassis. Body fabrication and painting would be farmed out to pros. There was a cost accounting, but Cozzi doesn't recall the amount he submitted to his father.
After due consideration, the project was approved in 1954 with two restrictions: Cozzi had to resume college after ninety days, and he wouldn't dare ask to drive in races.
Shortly thereafter, a wrecked 1953 Jaguar XK120M (blessed with a Special Equipment 180-hp engine) arrived in the family's driveway. The bones were quickly picked clean and Cozzi began a twelve-hours-per-day regimen of cutting, welding, and fabricating.
Like all ambitious projects, there were hitches and hallelujahs. A tidy ladder frame was built using 3.5-inch-diameter steel tubing. Chassis construction was finished on time, but the first body builder didn't pan out and the second one took three times longer than anticipated. The donor car's rear axle was bent, there was a glitch in the lubrication system, and the brakes initially felt spongy.
Sometime in between Nielsen's body-section drawings, panels power-hammered to shape in one day, and the final aluminum massage by master body sculptor Jack Hagemann, the fairy princess blessed the Cozzi Special with the beauty of line, form, and proportion that is always sought but rarely achieved.
After a coat of paint, Cozzi's car proved so dependable on weekend drives around San Francisco that he began considering a friend's suggestion to enter nearby road races. Nadeau Bourgeault, a local shoe with a sensitive touch, was tapped to drive.

Our work > Supporting cactus conservation work of our partner gardens
Supporting cactus conservation work of our partner gardensCactus and succulents homepage | Supporting cactus conservation work of our partner gardens | BGCI / IOS cactus and succulent plant survey | A future for cacti? Supporting the conservation work of our partner botanic gardens BGCI supports and promotes the important conservation work of our member gardens to safeguard threatened cactus and succulent plant species from extinction. Case study: El Jardin Botanico Regional de Cadereyta - Ing. Manuel Gonzalez de Cosio, Queretaro, Mexico (Cadereyta Regional Botanical Garden) Cadereyta Regional Botanical Garden works to conserve the native flora of Queretaro, a small state in Central Mexico which is renowned for its diverse flora. Many of Queretaro's plants are endemic to the state, found nowhere else on Earth. Queretaro is home to a particularly diverse range of cactus and succulent plants, many of which are threatened in the wild due to over-collection from plant enthusiasts, and habitat loss and degradation. Cadereyta Regional Botanical Garden holds an impressive cactus collection and works to develop propagation protocols for the most threatened cactus and succulent species to safeguard them from extinction and provide support to wild populations. The garden's collection has 180 taxa of the Cactaceae family, fully listed in CITES Appendix II. 18 species of the Cactaceae family at the garden belong to CITES Appendix I. The collection holds 44 species of Cactaceae that are listed as threatened or near threatened on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species; 9 listed as Critically Endangered (CR), 15 listed as Endangered (EN), 15 listed as Vulnerable (VU) and 7 listed as Near Threatened (NT). Many of these species are involved in propagation programmes at the garden. Recently, the Scientific Research staff at Cadereyta Regional Botanical Garden evaluated the conservation status of Mammillaria herrerae Werderm. This species is a remarkable endemic plant of the Arid Zone of Queretaro and hidalgo, a zone which also provides habitat to other species with extremely narrow distributions, including the recently described Strombocactus corregidorae (Arias and Sanchez (2010). The garden also runs education programmes and works closely with local communities to promote the importance of plant conservation. This includes guided tours and specific activities for selected groups. An educational programme for elementary school children has been taking place since 2010, to involve local children in plant appreciation, increase awareness and concern about threatened plants and increase understanding of the role that humans can play in conservation. BGCI will visit the garden in May 2014 to draw up plans for collaborative future work. Below are some highlights from the garden's impressive collection of cactus species from Queretaro state.

H.R. 2103 – International Protecting Girls by Preventing Child Marriage Act of 2009
Among other things, the bill states that "child marriage undermines United States investments in foreign assistance . . . to reduce maternal and child mortality, reduce maternal illness, halt the transmission of HIV/AIDS [and] prevent gender-based violence." The bill requires the President to establish a multi-year strategy to prevent child marriage and authorizes the President to implement a variety of foreign assistance programs directed at the needs of girls including "access to water and suitable hygiene facilities . . . [and] access to health care services and proper nutrition for adolescent girls." The bill authorizes "such sums as necessary."

When I read that the Tampa Bay Rays were talking to Luke Scott, my first reaction was "naturally." Indeed, a Scott-Rays union had seemed like a good fit since before the 2011 season. The Rays have been rather quietly going about their off-season business as usual — not making any desperation signings and trades, but making small moves that simply make sense as they continue to stay in contention in the toughest division in baseball despite relatively minuscule financial resources.
Not all of their moves make sense on the surface (at least to me), though — Fernando Rodney leaps to mind. However, unlike when many other teams make moves like this, I tend to give the Rays the benefit of the doubt. The reasons why are worth a brief review as a way get a bit more in-depth on what it means to give a team the "benefit of the doubt."
Let's quickly go through three of the Rays' off-season transactions in reverse order of the "benefit of the doubt" they require, beginning with Scott (and leaving aside his thoughts on politics — if, like me, you consider it from a comic standpoint, it is actually a bonus. Thank goodness we have brilliant movie stars and musicians to counter-balance those silly athletes!).
This one is pretty obvious: the Rays needed a DH, and Johnny Damon did not cut if for them in 2011, and had the added bonus of being really old. (You'll never guess who would rather have Damon — I wonder why?) Scott himself hit even worse in 2011, but 236 plate appearances is a very small sample, and Scott's season ended with injury. That injury is still a concern (the deal is pending a physical, of course), but Scott had always hit well prior to 2010, when he really went off. His true talent level is probably more like his 2010 season line, and poor performance in his shortened 2011 seem mostly to be due to a low BABIP and a decrease in power — the basic plate discipline was still there.
That is not to say there is not risk there for the Rays (although one year, $6 million guaranteed is probably a bit less than what Scott's true talent projects to be worth in 2012). Scott will be 34 in June and is coming off a season-ending injury. But the Rays have a limited budget, still probably need to sign a first basemen, and, most importantly, are trying to return to the playoffs. It is worth the (relatively small) risk to take on Scott for a one-year chance, especially since they have a full outfield and just need him to DH.
Anyway, Scott's case is rather obvious for the Rays, but what is up with Jose Molina? I mean, teams need backup catchers, right, but why give the former Blue Jay and Angel more than the minimum? He's a bad hitter (despite his BABIP-fueled 2011), old, and while he's decent at blocking pitches and controlling the running game, he's showen nothing special in recent seasons. Well, it just so happens that just before Jose Molina was signed by the Rays, Mike Fast published his extremely important study of pitch framing, and easily the best of the last few seasons was… you guessed it, our man Jose Molina.
It was not just five runs a year or something like that. Whether the Rays were inspired by Fast's work or whether they had done similar work themselves (former pitch f/x internet nerd and physics professor Josh Kalk has been working for the Rays for a few years now), I am guessing pitch-framing had something to do with it. So, like the Scott deal, once you take that all into account, $1.5 million for Jose Molina seems pretty easy to understand with having to give the Rays the "benefit of the doubt."
But what about that Fernando Rodney signing? Honestly, I have no idea. I'm not a scout (and I'm guessing you aren't, either), and scouting reports are, of course, essential to any player evaluation. That said, just looking at the numbers, I do not see what the Rays see in him. Sure, it's just a small one-year deal, but what attracted the Rays to Rodney?
He has not had a seasonal FIP under four since 2007, which is pretty bad for a reliever. It is not as if he has shown the skill to outperform his FIP, either. So then I looked to see if he might have a big split, which can make a reliever useful (and Joe Maddon pays attention to that sort of thing). Nope, he is not that great against righties. Perhaps all those change-ups mean he is a reverse split guy? Well… No. This is a case where not having a big platoon split makes a guy less valuable.
Yet, if you are going to give one team the "benefit of the doubt," it would be the Rays. That is not to say that I think Rodney is a good reliever just because the Rays signed him. I do not. However, I am curious to see what happens. And that is because, as we say, the Rays have "earned" the benefit of the doubt. Over the last few years, they have had a clunker or two, e.g., Pat Burrell, but they have mostly made the right moves, which is why they have gone to the playoffs three of the last four seasons despite playing in the toughest division in baseball.
Beyond their impressive results, one can (despite the team's notorious secrecy about its methods) understand the process behind what they are doing. They sometimes keep prospects down so long they get mocked for it — but a team like the Rays has to watch it — and Desmond Jennings and Matt Moore still managed to contribute significantly to their marvelous 2011 run. And when things do go wrong, they have set things up so that it does not kill them.
No, Pat Burrell did not work out. It seemed like a fair deal at the time, but it failed. Rather than trying to get blood from a stone, the recognized the sunk cost and let him go (and he then got hot in San Francisco on their own trip to the World Series, but that is a story for another time). Many teams would have refused to do that. In 2011, with Grant Balfour and Rafael Soriano gone, they cobbled a bullpen together out of the likes of Kyle Farnsworth and Joel Peralta… that will never work! Oh, wait.
Have the Rays had some good luck? Yes, of course, every team has good and bad luck. I am not as strident as I have been in the past about declaring front offices "good" and "bad." The Rays have consistently put themselves in a situations to minimize the damage that can be done by bad luck while maximizing the rewards of good luck. If Tampa Bay had just one or two signings surprise everyone for one year, that might be just luck without design.
I read somewhere that Dayton Moore should get the benefit of the doubt after what Jeff Francoeur and Melky Cabrera did in 2011. I have been hard on Moore in the past, but he deserves credit for how those things worked out. But that is two signings compared to a number of disastrous ones (that were seen as such at the time by, well, almost everyone outside the offices at Kauffman Stadium) over the previous three or four seasons. As I said above, I am trying to be less strident on these matters, but one the "benefit of the doubt scale," the Royals' front office is much further down that the Rays. Perhaps future events will force me to revise my opinion on this, but at the moment I would say there is more, um, "residue" than design to be found in the Royals' success with Cabrera and Francoeur in 2011.
The point is not to pick on the people running my beloved Royals, who, despite their foibles, have put the team in the best position it has been in for a long time. The point is to make a (admittedly vague) distinction between teams that have had certain transactions turn out well and teams that seem to have a systematic knack for making it happen. When claiming that the Rays have "earned the benefit of the doubt," I am not giving them some lofty, unique status. There are smart people in all front offices. To express it through a trivial microcosm: while I do not see how Fernando Rodney is going to help them much in 2012, I am more curious to see what the Rays can get out of him than I would have been if some other team (the Orioles? Sorry…) had signed him. That is giving them the benefit of the doubt.

Researchers in this field seel to advance the science and application of photonics and micro/nanoelectronic technologies in biomedicine, addressing major challenges in health science and engineering through cross-disciplinary collaborations and broad integrative research activities.
Lehigh faculty engaged in photonics and micro-/nanoelectronics research for health science and engineering include the following:
Svetlana Tatic-Lucic (ECE) is a leading researcher in the application of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) to biology and medicine, particularly cell biology and neuroscience. Her group is developing a universal sensing platform employing specialized multi-electrode arrays (MEAs) for extracellular recording from patterned live neural networks, and MEMS arrays for measuring of compliance of biological cells. Her research goals include sensing of neuroactive compounds in the environment, and achieving a better understanding of the processes of thought and memory.
Yevgeny Berdichevsky (ECE) joined Lehigh recently, applying his considerable expertise in bioMEMS and microfluidic technology to the study of neurological disorders and elucidating the relationship between neural circuit architecture and function in brain slices. His group develops brain-slice culture models of traumatic brain injury and epilepsy, and investigates signaling pathways in post-traumatic epilepsy, using high-throughput recording chips and molecular/proteomic approaches.
Sabrina Jedlicka (MSE) is an expert in neuronal cell biology and in functional biomaterial design for use in cell-based therapeutics. Her research seeks to engineer the direct extracellular environment surrounding cells, creating stable biointerfaces that communicate with cells and influence their fate and differentiation path. Her group attempts to direct the fate of stem cells as they progress into fully differentiated neurons, for eventual transplantation and nerve regeneration to treat neurological disorders. This research has important implications in stem cell research, regenerative medicine, cell-based devices and biosensing technology.
Xuanhong Cheng (MSE) is an expert in bioMEMS and microfluidic devices for point-of-care biomedical diagnostics. Her group has engineered nanomaterials-based microfluidic platforms to capture and detect disease-specific cells from blood, such as for AIDS and tuberculosis, with both high specificity and high efficiency. Her research on microfluidic platforms also provides accurate temporal and spatial control of the chemical, mechanical and biological environments around a small population of neural stem cells. Her team seeks to understand how these soluble and insoluble factors influence the differentiation of stem cells and how to guide neural stem cells to desirable differentiation paths for regenerative medicine applications.
Fil Bartoli (ECE), an expert in nanophotonics, plasmonics and biophotonics, investigates surface plasmon resonance (SPR) interactions in metallic nanostructures for optical biosensing and other applications. His pioneering research on plasmonic interferometric sensing dramatically advanced label-free, real-time, multiplexed, and highly sensitive biomolecule detection. His groups plasmonic Mach Zehnder Interferometer out-performs all current nano-plasmonic biosensors by an order of magnitude. He collaborates with Professors Cheng and Jedlicka to create multiplexed microfluidic chip-based cell culture platforms with integrated nanoplasmonic label-free sensing to detect cell function through their secretome, tailor the culture microenvironment, stimulate neuronal differentiation, and control the cell fate.
John Coulter (MEM) is a world leader in nanoinjection molding, applying this technique to the design of bio-interfacial mechanical cues, and engineering the mechanical compliance of nanotextured biointerfaces to influence cell behavior and fate. As cells feel and respond to the stiffness of their substrate, they adjust adhesion sites, undergo cytoskeletal modifications, and therefore undergo protein translation and modification based on these sensory cues. Since strength of adhesion is a key element in cell differentiation, systematic modulation of the surface stiffness and nanotopography should help to modulate differentiation of pluripotent cells, pushing a stem cell line into full maturation in vitro.
Himanshu Jain (MSE) is pioneering tailored amorphous multiporosity (TAMP) bioactive glass structures for tissue (e.g., bone) regeneration, and as potential platforms for diagnostics and treatment of neurological diseases. Porous scaffolds are studied with pore size distribution ranging from a few nm to 100's of microns. Optical characterization techniques are sought that can perform well despite strong scattering from the pores. Gold nanoparticle laden glass will also be studied as a materials platform for surface plasmon biosensing and bioimaging, and nanoporous gold nanocomposites will be pursued to increase the surface area accessible to analytes by orders of magnitude.
Daniel Ou-Yang (Physics) is an expert in biophotonics with a focus on mechanobiology and optical micromanipulation techniques for biological and soft matter studies. His group pioneered optical tweezer-based microrheology and a new optical bottle technique to manipulate and analyze nanoparticles in optical confinement. He collaborates with Sabrina Jedlicka and Dimitris Vavylonis to induce asymmetric cell division of neuronal stem cells by controlled mechanical rigidity of extracellular matrix and external force, a step toward a controlled neuronal stem cell differentiation. He also collaborates with Xuanhong Cheng on a novel opto-fluidic technique for concentrating and more sensitive detection of whole HIV viral particles for Point-of-Care applications.
Yujie Ding (ECE), an expert in nonlinear optics and terahertz technology, investigates the suppression of scattering of infrared radiation in biological tissue through phase conjugate techniques. This research could significantly impact biomedical sensing in neural and other biological tissues, and enable nondestructive tissue monitoring. His group also investigates polymorph screening and non-invasive 3D chemical mapping of dosage forms of pharmaceutical solids, which can exist in more than one crystalline form with different physicochemical properties (e.g., rates of dissolution, bioavailablility, or stability). His group employs the tunable THz waves with a narrow spectral linewidth to achieve polymorph screening with much greater sensitivity.
Chao Zhou (ECE) recently joined Lehigh, bringing his expertise on novel Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) imaging techniques to probe the cerebral metabolism rate of oxygen supply and consumption. Based on low-coherence interferometry, these OCT techniques can provide structural information of the animal cortex at micron-scale resolution, as well as 3D cerebral hemodynamic information. He conducts research on diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) as a sensitive probe of the motions of scatterers such as red blood cells, and to extract blood flow information deep beneath the tissue surface. Monitoring cerebral hemodynamics in this way is useful in the detection of traumatic brain injury through.
Mayuresh Kothare (ChE), together with collaborators at Mayo Clinic, investigates brain computer interfaces, deep brain stimulation, computational modeling and control-theoretic tools for enabling a full closed-loop neuroprosthetic technology for low cost, implantable treatments of chronic neurodegenerative diseases. This group models synaptic dynamics and plasticity to characterize neuronal dynamic responses typical of neurodegenerative conditions. They seek to help suppress epileptic seizures, reverse engineer motor intent for actuating neuroprosthetic devices in amputees, and study rehabilitation and motor restoration of motor-impaired subjects through external electric or magnetic stimulation. Targeted applications include ataxia, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and other neurodegenerative diseases.

Magnolia 'Galaxy'
Deciduous, Trees
MAGNOLIAMagnolias are magnificent flowering plants featuring blossoms in white, pink, red, purple, or a more recent development, rich yellow. These plants show a remarkable variety of leaf shapes and plant forms. New varieties and hybrids appear every year, but distribution is spotty in local nurseries. Many more kinds are available from mail-order specialists.
Magnolias include both evergreen and deciduous types. Most have large, striking blossoms composed of petal-like segments, but a few are grown for use as foliage plants.
For any magnolia, choose the planting site carefully—virtually all of these trees are hard to move once established. Magnolias never look their best when crowded. Pick a location where the shallow, fleshy roots won't be damaged by digging or by soil compaction from constant foot traffic. All magnolias may be used as lawn trees; try to provide a good-size grass-free area around the trunk, and don't plant under the tree.
Magnolias appreciate fairly rich, well-drained, neutral to slightly acid soil amended with plenty of organic matter at planting time. They will grow in somewhat alkaline soil but may develop chlorosis. At least in the early years, keep a cooling mulch over the root area.
Irrigate deeply and thoroughly, but don't waterlog the soil or the tree will drown. Only M. virginiana can take constantly wet soil.
Feed trees if new growth is scanty or weak, or if you see significant dieback despite adequate watering and drainage; use a controlled-release product. Treat chlorosis (lack of iron—common in alkaline soils—that shows up as yellowing between leaf veins) with iron chelates.
Leaf damage can result from excess mineral salts in the soil or salts in irrigation water. The latter is a problem in Southern California and, typically, the factor limiting success of magnolias in desert regions. Frequent heavy waterings will help leach out salts and carry them to lower soil levels—as long as drainage is good.
Deciduous; cross between M. liliiflora and M. sprengeri 'Diva'. This fast-growing, broadly conical tree reaches 40 ft. tall and 25 ft. wide. Medium green leaves are 8 in. long. Abundant bright red-purple, slightly fragrant, goblet-shaped blossoms to 5 in. across. Blooms in midspring, before leaves emerge but usually after the last frost.

This is NQR - Not Quilting Related - but I could use some positive thoughts over the next few days. I'm putting on a conference for my company with almost 200 people coming from all over the US to talk about occupational safety and loss prevention. This is not part of my regular job but somehow I got talked into it 2 years ago when they asked us to be the host location for this year. I didn't realize then that I would be doing everything myself. (Yeah, I should have asked more questions!!!) We start Sunday with a reception and sign in, then have 2 1/2 days of speakers and events, finishing up with a tour of our local facility on Wednesday afternoon. Speakers, vendors, displays, demonstrations, hotel coordination, program books, food, awards, entertainment, yikes, yikes and yikes. I think I have everything done (except for my own presentation on Tuesday afternoon!) but my head is spinning.
Of course, I want it to be "The Best Conference This Group Has EVER Had". So, this isn't a life or death thing, but I could use the positive vibes of all my quilting buddies. Shoot a few towards Orlando if you get a chance. I won't be on line much if at all until after Wednesday. Kate |

Positive thoughts ~~~ but, I am confident you will be the BEST! Don't use words like needle, tension, stash in your presentation - I know you want to! Remember to breathe and eat healthy! |

Oh Kate! I can feel the rush!!! It's going to be ok, you'll give an excellent presentation, and people will talk about how smoothly this conference flowed for years to come! DH and I was involved in putting on a worldwide Bonsai Symposium (a long time ago) and I know how much work and organizational skills needed to make it a success. SharonG/FL |
Kate, I know you only from your posts and your blog, but, based on those, you seem extremely capable and the perfect person to coordinate a conference. Good luck! Lois |
Good luck! I hope you get a few vacation days afterwards. Donna |
How could it be less then the BEST with you at the head. We are all proud of you. Wish you only the greatest of successes. Jayne |

Best wishes for a successful conference! My company takes workplace safety very seriously. We have a large poster in our lobby listing the safety ratings at all our facilities as compared to the average for our industry. Pace yourself and breathe deeply! |

Uploaded with ImageShack.us Fifteen years ago I planted a Phlomis fruiticosa where I had removed an asphalt driveway, and ignored it ever since. With the heavy rain/hail of the last few days, several of my too tall Alstroemeria, fell across the path. I pulled them and made an arrangement for my wife. It looked pretty boring so I looked for something else in bloom, and the Phlomis was about it. I added two stems to the Alstroemerias and it looked better. The next morning when I entered the living room there was a great fragrance which I traced to the Phlomis. Searching my references no mention was made of fragrance associated with Phlomis. If it holds up in the vase I may add a couple more Phlomis to my neglected garden. Al |

Love Phlomis, Al! My sis has several different varieties of Phlomis in her yard, and it is always so spectacular in bloom. I didn't realize they had a scent either. I'm going to have to add a few to my front slope. Very pretty! Patty S. |
I've always thought phlomis was a great looking flower. I wish I had the right site for them. Interesting that it had a fragrance - that's something missing from so many plants these days. |
I've had my eye on Phlomis fruticosa ever since I first saw it in the High Country Gardens catalog. I think it's time to find a place for it... I wonder how it will like our rich amended clay soil. |
Yours looks really beautiful. It is really something when it is grown well. |
Yes, indeed! Phlomis fruticosa is greatly scented! I have 3 and the oldest has been in the ground for 10 years or so and I've just finally found two seedlings from it. The seedlings are growing very quickly also.... |
Wow. Consider me enabled, Al. This is the time of year when I start to get increasingly desperate for flowers that are not Compositae. A ring of petals around a center -- be it gold or black or whatever -- is okay, but let's hear it for variety! And phlomis certainly fills the bill. Can you describe the fragrance? Kay |
To describe a fragrance is to compare it to another. Have you ever been down wind of a lilac when a puff of wind enveloped you in fragrance? Or maybe a sweet olive or Osmanthus fragrans? With the Phlomis I never have noticed any fragrance in the garden. I have the impression that the flower releases a burst of fragrance in the dark of the night, perhaps to attract moths. Al |
Interesting, my hammock is 10 feet from my Jerusalem sage and I've never noticed a scent. I'll have to check it again some night when the weather warms. I've seen it used with Lepechina fragrans before to good effect, same with Salvia microphylla, but either of those would overwhelm any fragrance. |
It's fragrant in the daytime. Very Sweet. Fills the air. Mine are located a ways from the house so I've not been out there to notice if there's scent in the evenings. |
Lovely; I've seen pictures of this plant, but never knew its name, thanks! |
It's also a very tough plant, very drought tolerant. Much to recommend it. |

Director of Joint Health District may select attorney for district; neither prosecuting attorney is by law counsel for the district.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
October 3, 1955
Honorable Hewitt A. HenryProsecuting AttorneyThurston County Court HouseOlympia, Washington Cite as: AGO 55-57 No. 143
Dear Sir:
You have requested our opinion on the following paraphrased question:
When a health district is comprised of two or more counties is the prosecuting attorney of one of the counties the proper legal officer or shall the health district select its own legal representative?
It is our opinion that the health district should select its own legal adviser.
RCW 70.46.020 provides the authority for the creation of multi-county [[multicounty]]health districts.
RCW 70.46.080 provides that where a health district includes more than one county the treasurer of the county having the largest population shall be the treasurer for the district and the auditor of the county with the largest population shall keep the records of the health district. The statute is silent as to the question of legal representation.
In the case ofIn re Phillips' Estate, 193 Wash. 194, our court has held that the legislature will not be assumed to have unintentionally omitted language [[Orig. Op. Page 2]] from a statute which on its face is definite and unambiguous.
It is noted that RCW 70.46.070 has given to the director of the health district the power to employ "technical and other personnel" with the approval of the board. Such authority is, in our opinion, broad enough to cover the employment of necessary legal counsel. It must be remembered that the health district board will have two of the three county commissioners from each county concerned as members and it would appear that each county's interests will be adequately protected insofar as the selection of competent counsel is concerned.
We hope this information will be of service to you.
Very truly yours,
DON EASTVOLDAttorney General
B.F. RENO, JR.Assistant Attorney General

First Stop, Mission Control
13 October 2009
First Stop, Mission Control
Tuesday 13th October 2009. Houston. Day off.
Today was slated for a visit to Johnson Space Center, the HQ for NASA. About 20 of us went down and were greeted at the facility by a team of people from NASA who were to be our guides for the day. These included some actual astronauts, which was extremely exciting. We met Tim Kopra, who has just returned from the space station and was part of the on-stage link-ups we did from that stage during various shows on the tour. Also we met Shane Kimbrough and Mike Massimino, both of whom have been up with the space shuttle.
First stop was at the old Mission Control room, the one which was used for the Apollo missions. For those of us old enough to remember the moon missions, this room is iconic beyond words. It has been immortalised in film, but I remember it vividly from black and white television. It's a large windowless room, filled with rows of consoles, populated by clean-cut men in regulation white shirts and ties and that bloke with the thick black glasses who seemed to appear every time.
Just due to how we'd come out of the elevator, Bono and I were first into the room and the pair of us were practically weak at the knees going into this place, which is exactly as I remembered it (except that it's in colour). It is no longer used but has been mothballed just as it was, becoming a shrine to the moon missions. We all sat at the consoles and took pictures of each other, as our guides talked us through how things would have run back in the day. It was a wonderful experience.
From there we went downstairs to the new Mission Control, which looks remarkably similar, though clearly with vastly advanced technology (colour screens and everything). From here Bono and Edge put in a call to the International Space Station, which we were all able to watch live, seeing the space station crew up on the big screen of Mission Control. This transmission was good natured to the point of being hilarious and more informal than our previous ones, partly because it was just for us but perhaps also because we feel like we know these people now, sitting in their tin can, far above the world.
Roman Romanenko is there from Russia and he's just a scream. (Even Guy Laliberte conceded that perhaps his own visit to the space station made him not the first clown in space, as he'd initially claimed, but maybe the second after Roman.) Towards the end of the link-up, Nicole Stott who's up there, revealed that one of the 'personal' items on board ship is a giraffe glove puppet called Harold. In the final moments of our chat, Roman, in a state of great excitement, was operating the puppet so it appeared in the bottom of the screen frame, which was more bizarre than I can adequately describe. Maybe the Muppet Show sketch 'Pigs in Space' wasn't so far fetched after all.
Next up was a look around the training centre with its full size replicas of the space station and other spacecraft. We were able to climb aboard and look around these incredible vehicles, some of which now feel oddly familiar due to our having seen them regularly on our video link-ups. Mike and Shane showed us round and told us many stories about life in space. They were very generous with their time and information, being very patient with one of our party who was inappropriately fascinated by the space toilet (though, let's be honest, it's the question we're all dying to ask, though frankly I'm not sure you want to know the answer.)
We rounded off the day with a (very) late lunch at Frenchie's Italian which was recommended by the astronauts. It's a couple of miles down NASA Parkway and is a great little Mom and Pop place which has clearly been the local haunt for Space Center employees for a long time. The walls are covered with dozens and dozens of framed, autographed pictures of astronauts and space crews, including, amazingly, the whole crew of Apollo 11, the first moon landing.
Later that same day there was a party at a bar in downtown Houston, organised by Tom our video director, as a slew of his Cajun musician mates had come up from Louisiana. It was great fun on a hot and humid evening, with good food and live music from the Cajun crew. Astronauts Mike and Shane came along and brought their families so we had a chance to thank them for giving us such a wonderful day, looking into their world. I didn't stay long past midnight and ended up leaving them in the hands of the Belgians, so I hope they got home unscathed. Flying rockets is one thing, but drinking with Belgians is space travel of a whole other kind.
What an amazing day. Hard to pick a favourite moment, but the fact that one of the desks at the Space Center really is labeled 'Ground Control' was way up there.

We have lift off
I am glad that you got to see NASA & Mission Control while you were in town. Nice write up about your feelings. It is awe inspiring to see for the first time. Just as seeing my first U2 concert was in 2005.

Thanks for the nice post re: NASA
Willie- Thanks for the wonderful post. I am a developer in flight software for the shuttle, and my husband works IT security for JSC/Mission Control. The space program is a way of life around here, and we often forget how awe-inspiring it is to so many people outside the area. Thanks for reminding us. And thanks for a fabulous show! We were both there at Reliant on the 14th. (We also saw the Paris show in July). We could tell that Bono truly enjoyed his Houston visit. We wish we'd seen you all at NASA and Frenchies. Come back soon!

Ate dinner @ Frenchie's tonight...
& thought of you guys! It really is the best local Italian haunt we've got around here. Truly authentic! If ya could manage to send Frankie some autographed pictures, I'm sure he'd be eternally grateful, as apparently he didn't have his camera the day you all ate there so he could add you all to his wall(s) of fame.

Hello from Texas
Willie, so glad all of you enjoyed your visit to the Space Center. Cool place, and nice folks. I live closeby and couldn't believe when I heard you all had been there! And yes, Frenchies has wonderful food. Only wish I could have joined all of you! The Houston show was fabulous. Thanks for the memories. Glad the folks at NASA got a chance to show "ya'll" some Texas-sized hospitality!
24 October, 2009
Thanks for painting an awesome portrait of the day : ) I have a visual of Astronauts jigging around the bar with Belgians... Astronauts livestream to U2 from the can above the earth... Wouldn't it be cool for U2 to Utube livestream to the Astronauts in the can.., the world and beyond livestream... Whoa... my knees are weak : )
24 October, 2009
Nice ;-)
Nice write up! With ground control at "Space station 360" in mind, it's good to know you can still be impressed ;-) Really enjoyed the NASA feed as well...
24 October, 2009
Down to Earth
Willie, what I love about this diary entry (among others) is that, despite your "glamorous" (to me) celebrity-filled life, you are able to show such genuine joy and excitement in something any one of us would find special. And you know that "weak in the knees" feeling you and Bono had upon walking into mission control? That's exactly how I felt when I walked into my first U2 concert and saw the Claw in person!!!!
