NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Officials say New Orleans' flood protections system is holding up so far as Hurricane Isaac storms through the area.
Army Corps of Engineers spokeswoman Rachel Rodi says the corps expects to be on "high alert" for the next 12 to 24 hours, but they're confident it's going well so far.
Rodi says a pumping station at the 17th Street canal in New Orleans - which was built at the site of a levee that breached during Hurricane Katrina - briefly went down early Wednesday, but operators were able to manually get it working again.
Isaac promises to test a New Orleans levee system bolstered by $14 billion in federal repairs and improvements after the catastrophic failures during right after Katrina hit in 2005.

Israel Debates Moving Deeper Into Gaza City
Israel is under growing pressure to end its military operations in Gaza, following the terrible bloodshed that occurred in the territory over the past 24 hours. However, Israeli leaders are discussing whether to expand military operations in Gaza. That would be a significant escalation of the assault and would inevitably bring even greater casualties among the civilian population.

ARI SHAPIRO, host:
This is Morning Edition from NPR News. I'm Ari Shapiro.
STEVE INSKEEP, host:
And I'm Steve Inskeep, good morning. Here's what we know about a proposal for a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip. Israel, whose troops moved into the Palestinian area, says it welcomes the idea, which does not necessarily mean the shooting stops right away. Israel says it's willing to keep talking about a cease-fire so long as the idea applies to both sides.
Hamas, the group that's fired rockets out of Gaza, has yet to respond in public. Now, the latest idea of a cease-fire came from Egypt and France, and the discussion comes after a sharp increase in civilian casualties. Israeli troops struck United Nations-administered schools in Gaza yesterday. Dozens of people were killed. And this morning, NPR's Mike Shuster reports on the most deadly incident.
MIKE SHUSTER: The shelling of the U.N. school in the Jabaliya refugee camp has caused an uproar. It was the third U.N. school to be hit by Israeli fire on Tuesday, and the devastation there was by far the bloodiest. At least 300 people had gathered there in a desperate effort to avoid the fighting in their neighborhoods. But during the late afternoon on Tuesday, according to the Israelis, Palestinian militants launched mortar rockets from near the school. The Israelis responded with tank fire.
John Ging, a spokesman for the U.N. Relief and Works Agency, which runs the school, says the U.N. provided location coordinates to the Israeli Defense Force for all its facilities in Gaza in an effort to avoid just such an incident.
Mr. JOHN GING (Director of Operations in Gaza, UNRWA): The civilian population here have no protection at the moment. They are dying in their hundreds. They're being injured in their thousands. And they're entitled to action from the international community. And the international community must be accountable for its action or inaction in protecting civilians caught up in conflict because these people are trapped. They cannot even flee this conflict.
SHUSTER: This was just a single incident in a day that saw rapidly mounting casualties among Gaza's civilians. It put Israel on the defensive. Andy David of the Israeli Foreign Ministry insisted Israel has been doing everything it can to minimize civilian casualties. He put the blame on Hamas, whose militants hide themselves among the civilian population.
Mr. ANDY DAVID (Spokesman, Israeli Foreign Ministry): We are trying to avoid casualties. Eighty percent of the air force operations, for instance, are being aborted just because there are civilians present. But when you have soldiers, combatants, gunmen hiding amongst civilians, this has in the past given them protection. That will no longer be the case.
SHUSTER: But Hamas continues to fire rockets into Israel. One reached the town of Gedera yesterday. Gedera is only about 17 miles from Tel Aviv. Until now, no Hamas rocket has flown that far. The Israeli operation in Gaza is aimed at stopping this rocket fire. Major Michael Oren, a spokesman for the Israeli Defense Force, conceded it will inevitably result in civilian casualties.
Major MICHAEL OREN (Spokesman, Israeli Defense Force): If you move ground troops in with heavy armor into urban areas, and Hamas wants to fight from those urban areas, it would be almost unavoidable, some type of rise in the number of civilian casualties.
SHUSTER: The bloodshed yesterday has given new momentum to an international effort to bring about a cease-fire. At the U.N. in New York and in Cairo, Paris, and other international capitals, the calls for at least a temporary humanitarian cease-fire are growing more urgent. Among Palestinians outside of Gaza, there is enormous anger and frustration. In Ramallah in the West Bank, Randa Siniora of the Independent Palestinian Commission for Human Rights brushed aside Israel's justification for its actions.
Ms. RANDA SINIORA (Executive Director, Independent Palestinian Commission for Human Rights): Israel cannot claim as an occupying authority that it is in self defense doing what it is doing because, simply, it's very clear in international humanitarian law that you cannot attack. And it is considered war crimes to create harm and damage and a lot of sufferings among the civilian population under the justification that they are defending themselves.
SHUSTER: How precisely Israel will act at the moment is not clear. Israel's leaders are beginning a discussion about whether to expand the ground operations and order Israeli soldiers deeper into the dense, urban neighborhoods of Gaza City. That would be a significant escalation and would inevitably bring even greater casualties among the civilian population. Mike Shuster, NPR News, Jerusalem.

Drayton Florence: A Product of Raised Expectations | Max Denver
Perhaps no single signing since Peyton Manning better illustrates the Broncos' raised expectations than their pickup of cornerback Drayton Florence. Denver's signing — and that he was on the market in the first place — is evidence of two franchises in diametrically different places on the NFL spectrum.
Mecklenburg: "I Have Good Days And Bad Days." | KOA 850
If he had it to do over again with the benefit of more than four years of hindsight, my guess is Goodell would change that answer quite substantially. The NFL committee on brain injuries to which he referred was subsequently so discredited as an apologist for the league that its co-chairmen, Dr. Ira Casson and Dr. David Viano, resigned in November 2009.

Proposer Amy Myers Jaffe defending the motion: "Energy is a fundamental service needed for daily living. Lack of access to fuel is a key driver of poverty and premature mortality. But as essential as energy is to human development, the reality is that all forms of energy production have environmental consequences. There is no single-source supply that can provide the benefits we need at the scale at which we need it without disturbing the natural world.

Interesting article by Barron's about Associate Professor Roger Edelen's latest research, revealing the three "invisible" costs that are eroding returns.

The Business Journal's Green Leadership Awards seeks to honor those who "have a strong commitment to making the Sacramento region a thriving hub for clean technology."
Davis Roots, co-founded by Professor Andrew Hargadon, is fertile soil for growing start-ups in Davis as an incubator for technology spun out from UC Davis.
In President Obama's second term, his administration is looking for a greater push toward improving energy technology and responding to climate change. Amy Myers Jaffe, executive director of energy and sustainability at UC Davis, says funding is "better spent in the area of research & development and fundamental science and not so profitable in supporting existing businesses."
When investors are shopping around for mutual funds, they have a wealth of data at their fingertips. They know, for instance, how much a given fund charges in management and operational fees (its expense ratio). They also know how a particular fund has performed over various time periods and what type of investments management held as of the most recent reporting date.
A recent academic study by Kimberly Elsbach of UC Davis and Daniel Cable of the London Business School found that workers who are seen at their desks during work hours are more likely to be considered responsible and dependable than telecommuters.
Environmentalists are hoping that by blocking the Keystone XL pipeline, they can prevent Canada from developing more of its dirty tar sands oil. Amy Myers Jaffe, executive director of energy and sustainability at UC Davis, says the only way to keep the oil under the ground is to change the way we live. "Really, truly, it's a lifestyle issue. We use 18 to 19 million barrels a day of oil in this country," she said.

(14 April 2008, Texas) A contract worker was hired to install reinforcement bars on a communications tower near Camp Bullis. He was wielding power tools high above the ground, when two other workers saw him lean back and fall 225 feet to his death. Turns out, the man had loosened the bolts on the bar to which he was attached.
Police are calling it a tragic accident.
(26 February 2008, France) A 71-year-old pensioner met a shocking end when his sneaky attempt to illuminate his garden shed with power siphoned from the National Grid backfired spectacularly.
In his attempt to light his shed for the dark winter months, the gentleman illegally opened a major junction box at the front of his house, intending to hard-wire a power cable to his garden shed. Unfortunately, the poor chap attempted to do this rewiring during a major downpour.
The fatal result was all too predictable. He was deep fried immediately, and declared dead at the scene.
Lessons to learn:
1 - Don't hardwire your shed to a local power substation
2 - Don't hardwire your shed to a substation... in the rain!
(6 August 2008, Hong Kong) It's raining. You're lonely. Why not?
That was how 41-year-old Xian found himself face down on a bench, and calling for help in the middle of the night. The lonely man had noticed that the steel sit-up benches in LanTian Park had numerous ventilation holes, and thought it might be possible to use the enticing orifices for sexual gratification.
Once Xian became aroused, he found that he was stuck and could not remove his member from the hole in the bench. Quite understandably, he panicked. Police received a disturbing call from a man in trouble, and arrived to find poor Xian trapped face down on the bench.
Doctors were summoned to the scene. They tried to relieve the pressure by draining blood from the organ, but it was too swollen to budge. Emergency workers had to cut the entire bench free and take it, with Xian attached, to the hospital.
Four painful hours later, doctors finally separated Xian from his bench. If he had been stuck for even an hour longer, the lack of blood flow would have caused sufficient damage that doctors would have been forced to remove his phallus.
This is one bad date that Xian will never forget.

The Canary Islands region
Bathed in year round sunshine, Lanzarote is an amazingly different island with an incredible moonlike landscape, barren yet starkly beautiful. All new development is strictly monitored, keeping buildings white-washed and low-rise, using natural materials and even restricting the woodwork to two colours of paint ensuring they blend harmoniously with the surroundings.
Lanzarote's coastline is made up of long golden stretches of wide sandy beaches punctuated by little coves and bays where watersports abound. Despite its barren appearance, Lanzarote is surprisingly fertile and local crops include an abundance of figs and onions. The volcanic landscape has its own particular fascination and the careful attention to tradition and development has ensured Lanzarote retains much of its original character and culture.
Playa Blanca
Playa Blanca is situated on the southern tip of Lanzarote. Set around an attractive harbour, from which the ferry to Fuerteventura departs, it is a relaxed and low key resort with a good range of shops, cafes and restaurants.
There are good sandy beaches along with some of the best beaches on the island close by including the famous Papagayo nudist beach.
Timanfaya National Park with its famous, 'Montañas del Fuego' (mountains of fire) and a huge expanse of lava fields is an essential visit. Admission includes a fascinating guided coach tour with the opportunity to take a camel ride up the side of a volcano and eat in the park's restaurant where all the cooking is done with natural heat from a volcano.
There are numerous water sports available - windsurfing is a particular favourite, along with diving.

Thanks for your review and we are pleased that you had a good time. The property is located on the side of Montana Roja which gives great views and peace and quiet which many guests are looking for. We do realise that it is away from the resort centre which is why we recommend that guests hire a car especially as it is uphill on the way back! Thank you for the information with regard to the information pack there was one in the villa previously but has obviously disappeared so we will contact the management company to make sure this is rectified. Thanks again Mandy.

"A special Place"
Our last visit to Villa Requiem was in the first 2 weeks of November 2011. This was in fact our third visit to the Villa and we hope there will be more in the future.
The Villa is easy to find with every thing you could wish for including an excellent welcome pack. It's in a magnificent position on the side of Montana Roja with panoramic views of Playa Blanca and the mountains of Femes. It's well equipped, spacious, cool and has the most comfortable beds we have ever slept in away from home.
Playa Blanca is we think the best Canarian resort we have ever visited. Having been to all the other major islands on packages, and saying we would never go self catering………What a wake up call this was!
NO getting up early to beat the queue for breakfast, NO trying to find a sun lounger because they have all been reserved, NO hassle for an expensive over priced lunch. NO queuing for dinner, and a warm pool all to your self.
Just get breakfast and eat out for the day in town or where ever you may go and at most reasonable prices. Our evening favourites 'Mama Rosa's ' Typico Canario' the Jumbo Chinese and the Italian, adjacent to Natura Palace Hotel.
The last place we ever expected to go would have been self catering in Lanzarote. We certainly saved the best to the last,
To cap it all, even our adult children decided they wanted to go with us to see what it was all about. They had 10 days with us in April last year….. and thoroughly loved it.
A special place indeed.

The Christmas season is moving at full speed. Most people already have their lights and displays up, making for pleasant night drives in any community. But at least once a season it's worth it to travel a bit further to one of the largest Christmas light shows in the US. Every year, people, organizations, and cities spend hundreds of hours programming and piecing together extravagant light shows with thousands upon thousands of individual light bulbs. These shows can be spectacular, but others can be duds. To help you find the best shows, we'd like to give you a list of some of the best Christmas light mega-shows in the nation.
read moreWhat Exactly Do UL Ratings Mean?
Purchasing lights for your home or business does not have to be a complicated task, but it does require a little education. Have you ever noticed the UL Rating on a bulb and thought, "What does this even mean?" UL Ratings or Underwriters Laboratories Ratings, actually play a major role in how consumers should choose their light sources. The ratings help distinguish if your lamp can be used in dry, damp or wet locations. This is pretty vital information, as you wouldn't want to make the mistake of placing a dry-rated lamp in a wet location. Here is a breakdown of UL Ratings and the best applications for various forms of lighting.

San Vicente is on the route of the Pilgrims Way to Santiago de Compostela.. These markers are on the floor and walls along the way. The St James Way is a major Christian pilgrimage route from France to Spain.
Trip to San Vicente De La Barquea
San Vicente De La Barquea is a lovely small river side town . Best visited by car or bus. A bus leaves Llanes bus station at 10-20 for half hour journey. Some return bus times are 13-30 and 16-35. The bus station in San Vicente is at the bridge. There is a café . There is a FEVE train from Llanes at 11-39 return 17-34.BUT BE WARNED THE SAN VICENTE FEVE STATION IS ABOUT TWO MILES OUT OF TOWN, the walk is at the side of road over the white line at the edge of the road. If you prefer the train, you could possibly find a taxi number
The surf!
Without a doubt the seaside at Llanes is unforgettable! It's beauty will move you and you'll find yourself taking many, many photos of it.
We walked along the seawall and marvel led at its beauty. I tried but could not control the powerful envy of those whose homes line this amazing shore.

Basilica de Santa Maria y Plaza de Christo Rey
On a very sweet plaza, de Christo Rey, is the basilica de Santa Maria. We walked by it as a group of seniors were exiting it. It's lovely spot to photograph the local architecture and take in the atmosphere.

Dinner in the old town
We wandered over to the narrow cobbled streets of the old town in the evenings and had a good choice of bars for a pre-dinner drink plus plenty of restaurants offering very good value 'fixed price menus'. Restaurants here tended to get busy with diners after 9pm or later and for 9euros you got two courses, carafe of local wine, bread, and pudding. Food was good too. Menus in spanish only, unlike many other parts of Spain, so brush up on your spanish before you go!
Indiano's Museum
A few km from LLanes there is Colombres. There is the Indiano's Museum. In Asturias, we call Indianos the people who go to America: Argentina, Cuba, Venezuela, etc. And when they get old they return as rich people to Asturias and they build that kind of houses.
If you go inside you could see a introduction to Indianos history.- Museum Visits

Cubes of Memory
The cubes of Memory were created by Augustin Ibarrola born 1930,said I created a new landscape in the port of Llanes. Now the art is faded and needs renovation.
Around town
Spent the day just exploring the town centre on foot, just some photos..
Visit the tourist office in the tower just off Alfonso IX -
Must be a good place for a summer beach holiday, enjoyed a walk by the sea in November ourselves, some serious waves to avoid!

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Inn to celebrate his birthday. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
4,6 sur septembre 07, 2014
Our stay here was excellent. The house is beautiful and comfortable, and situated perfectly just a few blocks from the beach yet also an easy quick drive to town shops and restaurants. Joe pays a lot of attention to details. We were surprised upon returning from out night out to find the bed turned down, ambient sounds of a rainforest filling the room, and the towels were refreshed. Just nice little touches that add to the overall experience. Joe is very kind, caring and genuinely concerned about his guests. Breakfast is a self-serve style offering plenty of choices. I highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Daytona Beach.

Our stay at the August Seven Inn was good but not great. Our room - the 819 - was clean and a bit small for the gigantic bed - the bed was very high off the floor - my wife had a hard time climbing up on the bed . There was only one chair to sit in, an old analog tv, and a bathroom with no counter space. Perhaps a different room would have worked better for us. We happened to be the only guest at the inn the night we arrived. We rang the front doorbell but nobody answered - had to call the owner to let us in.- found out the doorbell was broken. Joe, the owner, showed us around and gave us a bottle of wine. Breakfast was much less than expected - we had frozen waffles cooked in a toaster and microwave bacon along with some fruit, juice and coffee. Overall a nice inn to visit - a bit over priced for what we got. Doubtful if I would return.
Réponse du propriétaire
I would like to mention during the time frame these folks stayed there are two reviews in the guest book in their guest room both of which give praise and wish me well from my aneurism in which I had passed away briefly in August which is a tad confusing why the book review is so much different …That said I Have read this review and all of my guests are important to me, and I feel sad that this happened to this guest…I as a standard tell every single guest when I take them to their room that there is a guest book in the room with my cell phone number, if you need anything please give us a call, I also mention you will see me around and feel free to ask for something should you need… I do this for my guest to prevent people from neglecting to mention as the guest stay is very important to me
Had I been contacted the issues could have been easily resolved. I have bed steps available for beds, but had no indication it was going to be an issue, the bathroom they mentioned they needed space the bathroom counter the room they had chosen had 3 shelves near the sink and space on the back of the tub but I would have gladly provided them with other room options, or a table that would have accommodated their needs. The breakfast I do provide homemade pancakes and homemade French toast, as well as there are precut fruits, three cold cereal options, several hot cereal options, three types of breads for toasting, an assortment of waffles, the waffles are store purchased, I have these items due to the number of guests that are more accustomed to hotel travel and prefer premade items, there are also frozen pancakes as well as homemade pancakes for the same reason, homemade muffins, homemade French toast, and homemade baked goods In the guest room in the basket with other area discounts there is a café menu with additional breakfast items that may be ordered for a charge Again I attempt to accommodate the wide variety of travelers In the area.

And ancient, lovingly restored Victorian. Complete with wrap-around verandas. Our room was beautifully appointed, bed lines were luxurious, attention to detail exemplary, service superlative.

Was a late opportunity to drive at Daytona and could not get into my normal B &B. stayed at August 7. Really very good experience. Joe is very helpful and the interior is charming and meticulously maintained. Excellent value and I am not a value shopper when it comes to lodging!

My husband and I live in Orlando, and the August Seven Inn was a perfect romantic weekend getaway. I've been coming to Daytona my whole life... who would have thought such an elegant and peaceful bed and breakfast existed here? It was restful, relaxing. The house is beautiful, and nicely decorated. Joe was a gracious host, greeting us with wine on our arrival, and a yummy breakfast in the morning. Loved the popcorn and movies, and the guest fridge and sodas/water/coffee available to us at all times. The whirlpool tub was wonderful. It was a lovely place, and I highly recommend it!
5 sur décembre 26, 2012
This was a fantastic B&B. They went out of their way to make me feel pampered and valued. Joe overheard me say I could not have gluten so instead of bacon and eggs the next morning there were gluten free banana pancakes with candied pecans, butter and syrup. At snack time there were GF fresh baked browinies. WOW! I will definately be staying here again. The decor was very eclectic. Some items were antique and others were from pottery barn. I never felt I had to be 'careful' when sitting on the couches or using the glasses.

Beautiful clean rooms, friendly service, and a grand night!! Thank you Joe!!
4,8 sur novembre 20, 2012
Have stayed in many B&Bs in many places, loved this choice. Beautiful historic home, immaculate, quiet, comfortable, perfect for a romantic getaway. Our room had a large jacuzzi tub which, along with the massage chairs in the main house, was so appreciated after a long motorcycle ride, and we could park our motorcycle right outside our door. Innkeeper Joe is warm, attentive and everything an innkeeper should be. Location in historic downtown can't be beat. We would stay here again in a heartbeat, and hope to come back for Bike Week this winter.

August 7 Inn is a wonderful place to stay. We had a great time in Sept 2012. Joe and Phil were awesome as was the daily breakfast and nightlt snacks. I still feel like I can sit on the porch and watch the whole day go by while sipping a glass of wine. I plan on returning soon. Karen Smith

Moss Has Seen It All
Legendary Sally League president says farewell
Gene Sapakoff
December 19, 2007
CHARLESTON, S.C.—John Henry Moss has sat between Cy Young and Shoeless Joe Jackson at a dinner table. He knew Ty Cobb. He watched Hank Aaron play minor league baseball. Dustin Pedroia, too. But perhaps his extraordinary 50-year run as South Atlantic League president is better defined by the name of a rock 'n roll icon.
"I'd like to tell you that Bruce Springsteen will throw out the first pitch, because he lives just up the road in Rumson," Lakewood BlueClaws general manager Geoff Brown said in 2001 as the new Sally League franchise prepared for Opening Day on the New Jersey coast. "We'll leave four tickets for he and his family for every game."
That the passionate, persuasive Moss was able to grow a collection of cash-strapped owners once known as the Western Carolinas League into a string of new ballparks stretched from Georgia to the outskirts of Cleveland to Springsteen's New Jersey backstreets is testament to the shrewd Southern gentleman inside the seersucker suit.
"He's the last of the last of the breed," Ron McKee, former general manager and co-owner of the Asheville Tourists, said during a recent luncheon honoring Moss.
The reign of the longest-tenured league president in minor league baseball officially ends Jan. 1. Moss, who guards his age as carefully as he negotiated facility improvements, is in his late 80s. Before giving way to former Minor League Baseball executive Eric Krupa, he attended the Winter Meetings in Nashville and received the prestigious Warren Giles Award honoring the outstanding service of a league president.
Krupa knows this is a tough act to follow. Among the Moss highlights:
• 43 cities
• 115 ownership groups
• A 16-team league spread over eight states
• Improved attendance the last five seasons in a row
• Turnstile growth from 179,998 in 1960 to nearly four million in 2007
Moss, who for 24 years also doubled as the mayor of his native Kings Mountain, N.C., personally founded the modern South Atlantic League in 1960, dropping the Western Carolinas title. His political background came in handy when he took to twisting arms in pursuit of new ballparks.
"Joe Riley," Moss said of the longtime Charleston, S.C., mayor. "We've worked together on committees at the National League of Cities convention. Let's just say I'm able to discuss some major issues with credibility. It helps."
But he raised eyebrows at the 1989 Winter Meetings when he asked his league's board members to break from a tradition of one-year contracts and offer the president a three-year deal. A committee huddled. Moss was told to wait in a hallway.
"John looked pretty worried when we asked him to come back into the room," former Hagerstown Suns owner Winston Blenckstone said.
McKee delivered the news.
"John," he said, "we have some bad news and some good news. The bad news is, we're not going to give you a three-year term. The good news is, we've elected you President For Life."
Moss, who thought he might be asked to retire, was humbled. But not enough to lose his sense of humor.
"I tried to get the owners to extend the title," he quipped at the time, "but I was unsuccessful."
His league strayed so far from its "South" and "Atlantic" roots that the pied piper got a Chris Bermanish nickname: John "An Expanding League Gathers No" Moss.
"My whole objective is to grow the league," Moss admitted. "As Robert Frost said in 'Snowy Night,' we still have miles to go."
His obsession also included family, or lack thereof. Moss' late wife Elaine served as the league's administrative assistant for most of her husband's tenure as president and is a South Atlantic League Hall of Fame member. The couple had no children, unless you count the member clubs
Building A League
Moss played briefly as a second baseman for Shelby, N.C., in the old Tar Heel League after signing a minor league contract with the big league Washington Senators. By 1947, he'd formed a semi-pro league, the Western Carolina League. In 1948, Moss took the circuit pro with eight North Carolina teams: Lenoir, Hendersonville, Morganton, Newton-Conover, Rutherfordton, Shelby, Lincolnton and Marion.
Former major league pitcher Wes Ferrell played outfield for Marion. Moss lined up ex-major leaguers as managers and coaches, but he was off to a front-office job with Rock Hill in the Tri-State League in 1949 and a stint in the Tigers minor league system. Moss was general manager of the Central States Professional Football League before leaving sports to take a job as vice president with International Safety Co., which led him back to Kings Mountain in 1958.
"I'd barely been back in town and some of my old cronies came knocking on the door wanting me to organize a league," Moss said.
He had promised his young wife Elaine that hectic days in pro sports were over. "I'd married this dairy farmer's daughter in Wisconsin," Moss said. "I told her we'd settle down."
The compromise was a baseball league revolving around the Moss home in Kings Mountain. With the aid of Branch Rickey's upstart Continental League, Moss opened the Western Carolinas League in 1960, with all the teams in North Carolina and South Carolina. In 1980, the league expanded to include Macon, Ga., and changed its name to the South Atlantic League, a previously used title abandoned by the Southern League.
The league matured with the decades.
"We had a lot of people who had played at a higher level who were back in their native towns," Moss said. "We're talking about small towns in western North Carolina . . . As we moved into the '50s and '60s, you begin to see the younger players come up, and then somewhere in the mid-60s, we got where we wanted to sign players who had the possibility of playing major league baseball."
Still Work To Be Done
Moss was named "King of Baseball" in 1990, an award traditionally presented to someone on his way to retirement, though he still had many years of service to come. He received his first Warren Giles Award in 1993, and he still serves as vice chairman of Minor League Baseball's council of league presidents.
While he's stepping down as president, Moss plans to visit all 16 South Atlantic League ballparks in 2008.
"A farewell tour for a no-hitting second baseman," he said.
Moss will work on finding a permanent home for the South Atlantic League hall of fame, and he's trying to select a list of the league's 25 greatest players.
He is old school to the tune of keen recollections of league Hall of Famers such as Willie Stargell, Nolan Ryan, Bob Gibson and Enos Slaughter.
"Did you know Aaron Pointer hit .402 in 1961?" Moss asked. "Still a league record."
Pointer played in 1961 for Salisbury, N.C., which never drew more than 38,857 fans in a season. Lakewood drew 482,206 fans in its first season.
A stickler for league history, Moss delights in telling about the first game in the original SAL.
"April 26, 1904," he said. "Charleston Sea Gulls 3, Savannah Pathfinders 0. Of course, Ty Cobb won the first South Atlantic League batting title."
But Moss is not stuck in the past. He promoted the use of local nicknames such as Sand Gnats, Crawdads and RiverDogs and encouraged teams to hire more women for front office jobs.
"I'm glad to see we have a lot of women working in good jobs all over the league," Moss said a decade ago. "This is what American opportunity is all about."
He coined official South Atlantic League subtitles "The League of Choice" and "Where Dreams Become Reality," and he's never at a loss for ideas.
"I wish we could have had more tryout camps where undrafted players had an opportunity to play in our league," Moss said.
Moss didn't invent minor league baseball fun but he has seen changes ranging from a total season attendance of 22,908 in Orangeburg, S.C., in 1974 to Charleston RiverDogs co-owner Mike Veeck staging Nobody Night and Silent Night (and attempting Vasectomy Night) with co-owner Bill Murray whistling in the background while grabbing air time on ESPN's "SportsCenter" and HBO's "Real Sports."
Veeck, not coincidentally, received the first John H. Moss Horizon Award presented to "individuals who bring national attention to the league" by offering innovation and a commitment to community involvement.
"Our fans understand our strange sense of humor and so does John," Veeck said.
Most of all, Moss has relished close proximity to the hopes and dreams of young ballplayers.
"That has not changed," Moss said. "Through all the years, you still have that same aspiration, players confident they can become major leaguers."
There were lots of those guys at the 1995 South Atlantic League all-star game in Albany, Ga. The major buzz was about two participants in particular, Andruw Jones and Vladimir Guerrero. But Moss, eyes always on the future, hustled a reporter away from a debate over the skills of the two teenage outfielders.
"Let's go over here," Moss said. "I want you to meet a prospective ownership group. Believe it or not, we might eventually have a team as far north as New Jersey."

Zora or Cosima or........
Wow, so far it has been extremely difficult to choose names for our baby due in, oh...two weeks We don't know the gender and initially struggled with a boy name, but are now also second guessing our girl name. We have always liked the name Zora but are hesitant to use it now due to the Spanish meaning of zorra (basically sl*t). We travel frequently and our public schools include a daily Spanish class beginning in kindergarten, so.....it seems like a risky choice, no? So now we are considering Cosima, Saphronia, and Aurelie/Aurelia in addition to Zora. Thoughts? Comments? Preferences?

Unfortunately Zara has been ruined for me because of the clothing store I have waffled between Saphronia and Sophronia. I like Sophronia better but don't want it to be shortened to Sophie (cute but way, way popular in my area and the name of a good friend's daughter). Saphronia we would possibly nn Saffron.

How about Zosime? (Can be legitimately pronounced "ZO-sih-may" or "ZO-zih-mee.") It's ancient Greek, the feminized form of Zosimus, a name borne by several saints and a pope.
I think it's quite graceful, close to Cosima and Zora... Though I like Zora, I agree that it's a bit iffy if you'll be around a lot of Spanish speakers.
Aurelia is beautiful. So smooth and golden.

The Chancery Restaurant Review: A venture of chef Andy Thompson and restaurateur Zak Jones, The Chancery is a small restaurant divided into two dining rooms and made light and airy by floor-to-ceiling windows on two sides. The menu manages successfully to combine the classical with some extravagant modern flourishes. So salt cod and squid fritters come with chilli and lime and sauté of lamb with a fricassée of coco beans and garlic. Desserts continue the emphasis on seasonal ingredients, so winter offers the likes of pear and rhubarb tarte Tatin with ice cream and chestnut and cranberry délice with honeycomb and kirsch praline parfait while the cheese board is topnotch. Service is slick and friendly; the wine list offers a good range. There's a downstairs bar which gets busy early evening. Set 2-course menu £27.50, 3 courses £34. |

A few years out from his well-regarded Sweetgrass, Lucien Castaing-Taylor has partnered with Verena Paravel and knocked people's socks off with Leviathan, a similarly-toned look at challenges endured by an ocean-docked crew of New England fishermen. To a passerby, those terms would, in an instant, raise images of a Discovery Channel show — Deadliest Catch, etc. — but what separates their work from, it seems, almost any documentary about this sort of thing is an eye for the most miniscule of living details and an approach in depicting that's more "cinematic." (If you'll excuse the use of such an oft-misused term.)
The first trailer is a stunner: visually replete, sonically complex, and entirely terrifying for that. As someone who holds a deep, unshakable fear of the water — not just an ocean but, and I'm not kidding, something as simple as a lake — seeing the camera dive under and glide along the surface is more unsettling than, for instance, shots of some masked guy holding a sharp instrument. While I honestly can't wait to see Leviathan — the word has been outstanding, and this trailer promises an experience that no other documentary bothers to provide — it's going to be something of an endurance test.
At your own caution, watch the trailer below (via Apple):
One of the most highly anticipated films of the year, from the directors of Sweetgrass and Foreign Parts, LEVIATHAN is a thrilling, immersive documentary that takes you deep inside the dangerous world of commercial fishing. Set aboard a hulking fishing vessel as it navigates the treacherous waves off the New England coast—the very waters that once inspired Moby Dick—the film captures the harsh, unforgiving world of the fishermen in starkly haunting, yet beautiful detail. Employing an arsenal of cameras that pass freely from film crew to ship crew, and swoop from below sea level to astonishing bird's-eye views, LEVIATHAN is unlike anything you have ever seen; a purely visceral, cinematic experience.
Leviathan will be released on March 1st.
When looking at this trailer, are you captivated by Paravel and Castaing-Taylor's work?
To begin, a cliché (albeit one that's true): a great first scene will tell you how to watch the rest of the movie. Not necessarily who is important to the story, or what the major themes will be, but instead rhythms, what to look for in a shot, and ways to interpret meaning (which is […]

Dish Network is spending around $10 billion to acquire a wide range of spectrum licenses in the FCC's now-completed AWS-3 spectrum auction. That spectrum, combined with the wide-ranging spectrum licenses that Dish already owns, will turn Charlie Ergen's company into a spectrum powerhouse. But it's still not clear what Ergen's Dish is going to do with all of its airwaves.
The FCC has revealed the identities of the winning bidders in the AWS-3 spectrum, and AT&T was the biggest bidder, with close to $18.2 billion in provisionally winning bids, roughly in line with analysts' expectations. Verizon Wireless wound up bidding $10.43 billion, less than many analysts had expected (most had expected Verizon to bid $15 billion to $20 billion).
The FCC voted unanimously to adopt new rules are intended to help improve how first responders locate people who dial 911 on their wireless phones from indoor locations, including in multi-story buildings.
Now that the AWS-3 spectrum auction is officially concluded, with nearly $44.9 billion in provisional winning bids, speculation is beginning in earnest over how much wireless carriers bid for the airwaves--and what will come next.
The FCC said bidding in the AWS-3 spectrum auction, known as auction 97, is now closed after 341 rounds of bidding. Total provisional winning bids came in at a record $44.899 billion. That's far more money than the FCC raised in its previous spectrum auctions.
The FCC said it has closed bidding on paired spectrum in the AWS-3 spectrum auction, the clearest sign yet that bidding is drawing to a close.
T-Mobile US is looking to give its customers discounts when they upgrade to a new smartphone, hoping to ameliorate the cost of a new phone since the carrier does not offer subsidized devices.
Don't expect Verizon Wireless to join its rivals in offering a rollover data plan, according to Verizon Communications CFO Fran Shammo.
AT&T's disclosure that it entered into credit agreements worth more than $11 billion has prompted some financial analysts to think that the company may wind up buying more airwaves at the AWS-3 spectrum auction than Verizon Wireless, spending anywhere from $20 billion to $22 billion at the auction.
Verizon Wireless delivered strong subscriber growth in the fourth quarter, beating financial analysts' expectations, but the carrier also saw higher than usual churn and its margins dipped amid increasing promotions. Taken together, the results show that while Verizon continues to show resilience it is not immune to rising competition from Sprint, T-Mobile US and AT&T Mobility.
