Yellowstone Geologist Worries About What Goes "Bump" At Night
Watching Yellowstone breathe has to be a humbling experience. It is a reminder of just how insignificant we are in terms of geologic history.
A Major Overhaul at Ford's Theatre National Historic Site Raises a Few Eyebrows
DJ and Warren Z -
A nice exchange of viewpoints and information! It was nice to see the article generated a little discussion, and I appreciate the input from both of you.
Warren's comments as a former employee at Ford's Theater provided some useful, first-hand perspective.
Interior Officials Release Rule Change to Allow National Park Visitors to Arm Themselves
I agree completely. It is foolish to think that the criminals will not have concealed weapons in the National Parks. It is also foolish to think that the law enforcement in the NPS will be able to protect law abiding citizens while they are in the Parks. Does anyone remember what Mr Stainer did to those three women? I applaude Mr Bush's decision. The law abiding citizens of this country have a right given to them by God, and not Congress or the politicians, to protect themselves. If those opposed to this rule don't like it they can continue to travel in the NPS unarmed. As for me, I am happy to have my right for self protection restored. Thank you Mr Bush!! And if the Obamanistas think that they can govern this country through the tyrany of the Executive Order they are only fooling themselves.
Freeze On New Regs Could Impact Efforts to Expand Mountain Biking in National Parks
Kurt, you asked:
If one feels slighted because they have to step to the side of the trail, or off the trail, when mountain bikes come through, how does it feel when you have to do the same with horses coming at you?
Here's what one backpacker wrote in 2006:
"My trip to Stanley Hot Springs was full of surprises. This was my first trip into the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness, which was the 1st Wilderness Area designated in Idaho and one of the first of the entire United States. It lies directly north of the massive Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness, and is separated from the Frank by only one road, the Magruder Road.
"We broke camp at Wilderness Gateway Campground at 4am in an effort to beat the heat. We were unfortunate to arrive during a week-long heat wave of mid-90s to 100+ temperatures. The last part of the hike down to Rock Creek was rough. There was little water, the trail was thrashed and loaded with horse poop due to extreme outfitter activity—in many places it was like hiking up jagged stairs. And, horse traffic on the trail proved cumbersome as the heat ratcheted up.
"Horses have the right-of-way here, so every time they are encountered backpackers and hikers have to get off the trail, approx. 5-6 feet below the horses and crush beautiful foliage as a result while the horses pass and kick rocks and dirt all over the party below. This makes for slow going, and if you have heavy backpacks on can really suck. We had to do it 4 times. Some of the outfitters were actually upset at having to deal with us backpackers, I think it was because our dogs spooked their horses and one of them spilled their beer. All in this particular party were drinking beer and smoking cigars while on the trail."

Now, take a look at how the professional horse outfitters advertise their Wilderness trips, keeping in mind that their activities are allowed in Wilderness whereas a solitary cyclist on a 25-pound bicycle is not:
"Travel from yesteryear, luxury from today. A trusty horse will be your companion for the duration of your roving pack trip. . . . [¶] You'll sleep under the stars at the confluence of luxury and wilderness. All guests stay in spacious high-grade waterproof tents with feather beds and pillows. And as for dining, our experienced cooks turn a rain fly and propane into a buzzing professional kitchen that rivals most big-city restaurants. The results? Exquisite cuisine you'll remember almost better than the scenery." (Paws Up Outfitters, "Luxury Montana Pack Trip in the Bob Marshall Wilderness," available at http://gorptravel.away.com/xnet/one-product.tcl?product_id=119330.)
"By virtue of the Wilderness Act of 1964 this area has been set aside as a place where the only possible means of transportation within are by foot or upon a horse. . . . [¶] . . . This is the land of many famous Mountain Men and many Indian tribes—an America[n] past. But, unlike its predecessors, you'll enjoy the Wilderness in near luxury; clean, dry, spacious tents, warm soft sleeping bags, hearty and varied campfire cooking . . . ." (Absaroka Ranch, "The Pack Trip," available at http://www.absarokaranch.com/default.htm#pack.)
"[T]he camp is very comfortable. Hearty mountain cooking is prepared at the camp's cook tent and enjoyed in the adjoining lining tent or around the campfire. Sleep in roomy guest tents supplied with a wood burning stove for heat, and cots and pads. Or grab your sleeping bag and sleep under the stars. [¶] This is the perfect way to enjoy the backcountry wilderness without the hardships of backpacking." (Bear Basin Wilderness Outfitters, "Overview," available at http://horse-pack-trips.gordonsguide.com/bearbasinwildernessoutfitters/index.cfm.)
"About Liquor[:] BYOB." "Physical Condition Required[:] Fair." (Bear Basin Wilderness Outfitters, "Bear Basin Wilderness Camp Horseback Trip," Washakie Wilderness, Wyo., available at http://horse-pack-trips.gordonsguide.com/bearbasinwildernessoutfitters/tripdetails.cfm?tripID=157.)
(I found these items about two or three years ago, so I can't guarantee that the links still are good.)
Feather beds and pillows; wood-burning stoves in tents; gourmet meals; bring liquor. This is primitive and rugged wilderness travel? And I would think that wood-burning stoves would be too heavy to lug around and they and their surrounding structures must also be set up semipermanently, which is a dubious practice under the Wilderness Act of 1964.
Freeze On New Regs Could Impact Efforts to Expand Mountain Biking in National Parks
With regard to the prior post, succeeding in defining national parks solely as outdoor museums is precisely what will doom political support for them in the not-so-long run. The decline in public support is already happening, which is why the National Park Service has wisely proposed making it easier for people to engage in the popular, healthy, environmentally sound, but also fun activity of mountain biking in them.
A Major Overhaul at Ford's Theatre National Historic Site Raises a Few Eyebrows
Warren Z -
Thanks again for your response. I guess the conflict is mostly in my emotion and not in my common sense or intellect. I did admit that my position isn't defensible, and the more I think about it the more I don't make sense to myself.
I appreciate your thoughtful replies and the opportunity you and this site give me to think past my knee-jerk response.
I look forward to visiting DC again.
Great Basin National Park: It's More Than Simply A Cave
Had an opportunity to visit Great Basin back in October of 2008. Incredible remoteness and beauty. At that time of year there was only one other person on the cave tour. The next day on Wheeler Peak I only encoutered three other people. If you get a chance also visit Lexington Arch.

A Major Overhaul at Ford's Theatre National Historic Site Raises a Few Eyebrows
Again DJ, the original performance space at Ford's Theatre hasn't existed since the War Department took over the building in the late 1860's.
The entire internal structural space as it existed from 1968 until prior to the current "upgrades" was a fiction. I guess that's why I don't see the harm in making it a little more comfortable and accessible while maintaining the historical look.
ADA: you said "A building built in the 18th or 19th century wasn't built under the ADA, and I don't feel it should be obviously altered to comply." Well, I don't know that the current set of upgrades will be all that obvious. How does your wife feel about the limits on accessibility you would place on her? And what buildings owned by the Federal government, historic or not?
For me, a site's individual character is not necessarily found in a certain level of authenticity (a battle that the structure of Ford's Theatre basically lost in the late 1860's) but in the meaning that you and I bring when in proximity to the place. That's where the NPS comes in and does an amazing job interpreting the site for the thousands of visitors the site receives every day.
Trust me DJ, you'll find and feel what you're looking for at FTNHS, a/c or no a/c.
Dinosaur National Monument Superintendent Favors Law Enforcement, Maintenance, Interpretation Over Paleontology

A Major Overhaul at Ford's Theatre National Historic Site Raises a Few Eyebrows
For all those worried about the upgrades at Ford's Theatre, a fact needs to be reiterated.
To my awareness, the only "upgrades" that will be housed within the original structure are the improved seating within the theatre, and the museum in the basement, which has always been in the basement. (A basement that was really just a crawl space in 1865.) The new restrooms, elevators, lobby, concessions, etc are not being installed in the remains of the original theatre structure itself, but in a modern building adjacent to the historic structure, with, I'm sure, minimal impact to what's left of the original structure. A more thorough reading of Jim Burnett's article, and some personal research, will tone down emotional reactions like DJ's.
Considering how many times the President of the US has sweated through a performance in that building, it's amazing it took as long as it did to upgrade the air conditioning!
As for enhancing accessibility, that's the law. Refer to the ADA. For instance, in my days of working there, the only way a person using a wheelchair could access the museum in the basement was with an antiquated chair lift that rarely worked. An elevator is necessary not just for ease of access, but consistency and quality of access as required by law.
A quote from Jim Burnett's article:
"So…by the time the NPS finally acquired the building, little was left of the original structure except the exterior walls."
What visitors have been looking at since the reconstructed site opened to the public in 1968 is just that, a reconstruction. NOT a restoration of original materials and structure.
While your fears are based on real concerns DJ, Ford's Theatre NHS probably would not have been reopened to the public, when it did, if it weren't for the initial and ongoing funding efforts of the FTS. That's just a financial reality of the NPS.
I see where you're coming from DJ, I too worry about the NPS' growing dependence on outside partners to carry the financial burden of maintaining our national parks and historic sites. But the situation at Ford's Theatre is nothing like what you are worried about. Go see the site and you'll know your extreme worries are baseless where FTNHS is concerned.
Great Basin National Park: It's More Than Simply A Cave
Great Basin National Park is one of our favortie parks to visit. The hike out through the bristlecones to the rock glacier is one of my personal favorites. The cave is really neat and a big hit with our two children. Wheeler Peak is a nice moderate hike. Osceola Ditch is interesting as well as Baker Creek. We hope to get out to the arch this summer, if we can hit the park between thunderstorms.
The "gentleman" who wanted to remove Great Basin as a national park is an idiot, perhaps too lazy to get out there and truly enjoy all that Great Basin NP has to offer.
A Major Overhaul at Ford's Theatre National Historic Site Raises a Few Eyebrows
Warren Z -
Thanks for taking the time to address my sarcastic comments. The article struck a sour note in my head, and the more I mull it over, the more I don't think I have a solid defensible position on it.
I do understand that there wasn't much left of the building, as Lincoln saw it, by the 30s. I also remember the very careful (I think) restoration of the 60s, and I had the pleasure to see it in the early 70s and again in the mid 90s.
I guess, in a more general sense, as I get older, I see more and more of the chipping away of the physical and cultural artifacts of our history to make it more comfortable, more modern, more politically correct for today's visitors. I suppose a lot of it is necessary, and please understand I'm not talking only about the NPS here. I dislike seeing the 'modern world' changing our actual past.
I know things can't just be left to rot, but I don't like them changed, either. I think I favor stabilization and a goal toward keeping/making any site accurate to the period that makes it 'historic' in the first place. I also realize that money, both to restore and maintain, is a very real problem.
I suppose the question you're going to ask me is where do I think it starts, and how far should we go. Of course the more I think about it, I realize that I don't know; I know we need roads along the rim of Grand Canyon, even though they weren't there when Powell floated through. I know we need lights in caverns and boardwalks to geysers, but I wonder why, if you want to experience Ford's Theatre as President Lincoln did, then why can't you sit in an uncomfortable seat and sweat, and be quiet enough to hear the voices from the stage? If you want a comfy seat and a/c, there are a million places you could be, or you could stay at home in the recliner and watch a Lincoln bio on your plasma tv. The more it is updated, the less it is the 1865 Theatre. I mean, jeez, it's Ford's frikkin Theatre! If I want to see Pueblo Bonito I might have to perspire, and if I want to see the Everglades, I might get mosquito bites. The uniqueness of NPS sites is why I want to visit, and why they're NPS sites in the first place.
I live a few hours from Niagara Falls, and every time I'm there, I wonder what it would look like had the US and Canada had the foresight and courage to make the area into National or International Park(s). One of the greatest natural wonders in N. America, it's a schlocky, garish tourist trap filled with souvenir shops full of Chinese crap, high rise casinos, dinosaur mini-golf, horror museums, and a modern $7million multi-media special effects computer controlled recreation of The Falls...housed at the very lip of The Falls! Just think...for only $15@, you can stand in line for hours (under cover to protect from the actual mist coming off The Falls) to enter into a brand new tourist attraction to see a 21st century re-creation, narrated by an animated beaver, of what The Falls looked like before tourist attractions spoiled it...and then you get sprayed by fake mist and everybody laughs and screams. Pardon my French, but...wtf?
As far as the ADA goes, believe it or not I'm conflicted on that also. I know it's the law. I'm married to a handicapped individual in a wheelchair, but I feel there are some places that she will just never be able to go. I don't feel there should be obvious structural changes to historic buildings. A building built in the 18th or 19th century wasn't built under the ADA, and I don't feel it should be obviously altered to comply. (I'm goin to hell for that, aren't I?!) I also realize that these sites need water and indoor plumbing, electrical systems and lighting, fire protection and suppression, climate control for protection of artifacts, security systems. Like I said, I don't know where the building stops being historic and just becomes a pleasant 21st century reproduction that looks kinda like the original. You know, mostly.
I will make an effort to visit DC and see Ford's Theater soon.
Maybe I'm just grumpy this morning. Or possibly I've been warped by a lifetime of exposure to the extremes of Yellowstone Falls and Niagara Falls. The more I wonder about all this, the more I wonder about all this...what should have happened, what could have happened, what did happen, what might happen, what I worry will happen. (I'm speaking in a very broad sense here of course, not of any place in particular.)
I Thank you again for your patient response. I'm a great fan of this site and your posts on it. Keep up the fine work.
Secretary Salazar on Guns in Parks: He'll "Take A Look At It"
"Anonymous" said: I guess I'm lost. Just WHY do people want to carry guns in a National Park?
Why indeed! I carry in the National Park for the same reason I carry when I go to Wal-Mart, McDonald's, Home Depot, or Safeway: I honestly hope that I will not NEED it, but I'll have it with me for that one-in-a-million chance that I might have to USE it.
Considering a Hike up Half Dome?
This article makes me happy and sad. I am happy to see so many people enjoyng such as great climb but sad that one of my fav spots is so well known. I like to climb areas that are off the beaten path and this one is not not one of them.
NPS's Backlog, Updated
They do let some of the roads become hiking trails, when they can't afford to keep them open as roads. I would like to see more investment in the National Parks (which I will admit is one of the few area I think spending should be increased). But if congress is not going to do that I think the director should try to raise more donations. One area more spending is needed is on enforcing rules. So many visitors are destroying the natural environment that those in the future are losing out.
One thing I would do (theoretically - I never would be allowed to) is require people to read the rules and put up a bond. Then if they go marching off the trail onto fragile ground (there are plenty of locations where tramping around off the trail is a serious problem) the $1,000 they put up as bond is forfeited (and there would be a graduating scale, as the person failed to follow the rules additional times the fines would increase). With the income from those that fail to do what they promise people could be hired to enforce the rules. I know people wouldn't love being paid to do be enforcers but something has to be done, to preserve the parks. More funds could also allow the construction of more trails... that allow people to enjoy the parks without ruining fragile landscapes.
Park History: Timpanogos Cave National Monument
I have posted photos from my recent visit to Timpanogos Cave National Monument. It was a nice visit but I must say the thing I would not miss in the immediate are is the Mount Timpanogos hike (even if you don't do the whole hike).
What Priorities Should The Next National Park Service Director Address?
Actually, Jim has two good points: 1.) buy land and 2.) return land appraisers to the NPS. The consolidation of land appraisal in the Department was a politically motivated move on the part of the Bush Administration to control the land acquisition process so that it could be stalled or stopped. That and the lack of interest on the part of the Congress to approriate money from the Land and Water Conservation Fund has brought land acquisition to almost a complete halt. This is not only bad for park resources, but it is highly unfair to landowners who have property within the authorized boundaries of national park areas and are left holding the bag while acquisition delays continue on and on. It's not a pretty picture.
Rick Smith
What Priorities Should The Next National Park Service Director Address?
I couldn't agree more with Jim. Indeed, buying land is the most logical plan of action for this year at least. It goes without saying that without any land to work on, none of these proposals could be made feasible. The current economic situation will allow buying land a more viable option for most people. NPS should capitalize on that as soon as possible.
A Major Overhaul at Ford's Theatre National Historic Site Raises a Few Eyebrows
Thanks for the eye-opening article...
Maybe the next project could be widening Skyline Drive to a six lane freeway, leveling some of those damned hills that slow us down, and finally get some MacDonald's and WalMarts up there.
And how 'bout getting Mount Vernon turned into a one-story ranch style home with no steps and a drive through for viewing GW's crypt; "these upgrades will make the site more audience-friendly and will enhance accessibility" also.
...and oh!...Grand Canyon.........
Yellowstone Geologist Worries About What Goes "Bump" At Night
Oh no! Not Jellystone! My husband and I along with our 12-pound cocker spaniel went there a couple of years ago--I'll never forget that we happened to be stopped on the road where a massive buffalo was standing not five inches from my car door. And my loopy male dog, who had been sitting placidly on my lap, went crazy--barked and barked and thumped on the glass trying to get at that beast, and I'm sitting there thinking, "We're all gonna die. That buffalo is gonna turn my car into a tin can and we're all gonna die." Fortunately, that buffalo never even twitched. Dumb dog.

Great Basin National Park: It's More Than Simply A Cave
I have enjoyed the cave about 22 times and yet saw something new each time. I have spent a week camping in the beautiful mountains and taking awesome nature hikes with knowledgable forest rangers. After travleing to many state and national parks, I can tell you this is one not to miss. Even the road to the cave is an experence. Locals have decorated the fence post and you laugh all the way.
Check out their web site.
Great Basin National Park: It's More Than Simply A Cave
Well done article, Chance! Back in the 70's, I was privileged to be the only signup for the daily cave tour. The excellent guide/naturalist took the extra time to show some seldom visited parts of amazing Lehman Cave, one of the most interesting I have visited. The back roads of northern Nevada are (were?) also beautiful. One could then drive for hours without seeing so much as a fence or powerline. Often the only sign of man was the cracked asphalt being slowly reclaimed by hardy desert plants. I suspect this has changed during the gold and energy rushes of the intervening decades.
Jim Hansen needs some perspective. If he wants to drop park units from the system, he should visit Oregon Caves National Monument. The lovely forest setting would make a fine state park, but the cave is a moldy, blasted tunnel with almost nothing of interest. If it were a commercial cave in the east or midwest, it would have long ago gone out of business.

Are the equestrians being treated like red-headed stepchildren at the OC Fairgrounds?
Their 15-acre facility – originally dedicated in 1987 – was cut in half in 2003 on the direction of the Fair board.
They continue to lose valuable arena space each summer at the height of their season. For almost 11 weeks, (before and during the OC Fair), the fairground management uses a vital area of the Equestrian Center to allow carnies to park their trailers.
And now the equestrians are battling with the board for the survival of the seven and a half acres they have left.
I recently took a tour of the Equestrian Center, and was amazed at how lovely it was. It was as if I had stepped out of Costa Mesa and into the country.
But finding the center wasn't easy; signage from the street was terrible. It was hard to determine what gate to drive into.
It's a well-kept secret, but it's no secret business is down there. Of the 200 or so stalls at the center, only about half are rented.
"Uncertainty is what's really hurt us," said trainer Lisa Sabo.
When stall rentals went from annual to monthly, the facility lost a number of trainers and horses. Many moved to centers offering more stability.
Fees for a 12 X 12 stall range from $555 to $630 per month, including feed.
Trainers like Sabo house their horses there and give riding lessons. The average lesson is about $50 per hour. She says lesson fees barely cover stall costs.
"No one's getting rich here, it's really a labor of love," she said.
Sabo feels talk of the fairgrounds sale the last couple of years hurt this community in two ways. It sent equestrians elsewhere looking for a more secure environment and many in the public thought the facility had closed.
I asked Fair board member Nick Berardino if the fairgrounds can afford to keep the Equestrian Center.
"We can absolutely afford to keep it, and I'm sure we can work collaboratively with the folks at the Equestrian Center to improve its contribution," he said

Maroon 5 live in Manila 2012
'M' is for mayhem
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
One word: madness.
Judging from the overwhelming crowd turnout, one would think this was Maroon 5's first-ever concert in Manila. The mad scramble for tickets reached boiling point, such that people pulled all the strings they could. But not even political power or all the money in the world could change the fact that there was neither space nor ticket to spare.
It was actually the American alt-pop outfit's third gig in a span of four years, but Pinoy concertphiles just can't seem to get enough of the band and its music. The clamor for "one more night" went unheeded, as the band was running a tight schedule for their "Overexposed" world tour. You can thank the phenomenal success of "Moves Like Jagger" and the infectious dancepop ditties of the "Overexposed" album, not to mention the newly minted superstar status of the band's scorching-hot frontman.
Inside the venue, a different kind of chaos ensued. The crowd was so thick that moving around made it literally harder to breathe. After a few songs by young American band The Cab, who had been here for the Smash Project music fest last March, the members of Maroon 5 took the stage amid shrieks — bassist Mickey Madden, drummer Matt Flynn, guitarist James Valentine, and keyboardist PJ Morton, who's replaced original member-on-hiatus Jesse Carmichael.
Thundering screams
As soon as frontman Adam Levine's unmistakably sexy falsetto filled the air, the massive crowd erupted into thundering screams that shook the Big Dome from top to bottom. Composed of Maroon 5's hottest singles, cover medleys and a six-song encore, the setlist showcased the band's versatility and paid tribute to their various pop-rock influences that spanned decades.
The band opened with current radio charttopper "Payphone," followed by a heady mix of old and new favorites that had everyone grooving nonstop. The band teased the crowd with a few bars of Michael Jackson's "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough," then segued into the no. 1 single "Makes Me Wonder" from the sophomore album "It Won't Be Soon Before Long."
New ditties "Lucky Strike," "Wipe Your Eyes" and "One More Night" were joined by past hits that included "Sunday Morning," "If I Never See Your Face Again," "Misery," and "Harder To Breathe" with a Skrillex intro. The main set ended with the band's first mainstream hit "This Love" that segued into Adam's guitar solo of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Don't Forget Me."
It's interesting to note that the crowd sang along to every song with gusto, whether it's from the new album or the old ones. That should put the band's initial reservations about the reception to their new sound to rest.
Man in black
Clad all in black, Adam was pure sexual energy; I guess those two-hour daily yoga sessions did wonders for his onstage stamina. A subtle sway of his hips, a sly half-smile, and he got the females in the audience going absolutely wild.
It was during the encore set, however, when he and the rest of the band showed that incredibly special connection they've built with their fans here and all over the world in the last 10 years. James dedicated their seminal cover of The White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army" to a certain Carlo, a cancer patient and former guitar student of theirs who had passed away.
For that song, Adam took over the drums and alternated with James for the vocal duties. In a surprisingly tender moment, Adam did a sweet acoustic version of "She Will Be Loved" for all the smitten ladies in the house, and told the men to treat them a little better. (Gotta give the guy more pogi points for that one.)
Finally, Adam dedicated "Daylight," the song from "Overexposed" that's closest to his heart, as a heartfelt thank-you to their adoring Filipino fans.
The band switched back to the dance grooves with a medley of Human League's "Don't You Want Me" and Justin Timberlake's "Sexyback," and Gym Class Heroes' "Stereo Hearts. They got the crowd whooping with laughter with teaser clips of Psy's now-famous "Oppa Gangnam style!" line, probably as a tongue-in cheek reference to Adam's embarrassing run-in with the local police at a gym in Korea. (Check his Twitter feed for that story.) Saving the best for last, they finished the mind-blowing set with—what else?—the phenomenal "Moves Like Jagger."
The hangover that afflicted everyone who attended was just incredible. Maroon 5's third concert was a hot and heavy electropop-rock romp from start to finish, with color-block LED panels and stunning lights dancing to the infectious beats. Naysayers can nitpick the band's new pop direction all they want, but Maroon 5's collective onstage charisma is just undeniable.
After about a decade in the business, the band never fails to make every song sound so fresh and enjoyable, and after two shows, that's got to count for something. Here's hoping for "one more night" real soon… Or better yet, many more to come.
"Maroon 5: The Overexposed Tour live in Manila 2012″ was presented by Dayly Entertainment and Midas Promotions.

Hey folks, Larry here. Just want to apologize on behalf of my nephew Michael. My wife Helen and I have gotten pretty lax about supervising him when he is on our desktop computer (we watch him some afternoons) and I see that Michael has been using his online time in a non-positive way, creating multiple negative threads about Jay Bruce and other Reds players. Unfortunately his step mother Lisa already picked him up by the time I saw what he had done so I'll have to wait until Monday to give him a lecture. But I just want to apologize to the rest of the board. This won't happen again. At least not from our home- his step mother is a bit loose when it comes to supervision so I can't speak for when he is with her.
In light of all the negativity I also wanted to take the time to shine a light on some of the few highlights of this year. Chris Heisey has near on 17 home runs and is looking like a good ball player. Votto just logged his 100th RBI and is on his way to solidifying a career for himself. Phillips, .300, need I say more.
Alright, folks. Enjoy the last week of baseball and let's get 'em in 2012!

Three Delhi policemen were Tuesday sent to police lines for assaulting four people arrested for their alleged involvement in a clash between two groups, police said.
Assistant Sub-Inspector Manoj Kumar and constables Mohit Kumar and Paramveer at the R.K. Puram police station in south Delhi would also face a departmental inquiry. "The policemen were punished for badly beating up four people arrested Sunday night during a fight between two groups in Ekta Vihar" in south Delhi, said a police official.
The official told IANS that the policemen would be suspended if found guilty in the departmental inquiry. The victims were identified as Pradeep, Saleem, Noni and Sajan, all in their early 20's. A social worker, Dilip Chauhan, told IANS that the four, who work with a musical band, were innocent.
"That night they were coming from Punjabi Bagh (in west Delhi) when they saw some people fighting in Ekta Vihar. When they tried to bring peace, policemen arrested them instead," said Chauhan.

Billy Dodge Moody
Im a little bit country, Im a little bit rock and roll...and Im a little bit reggae.
In the Summer of 2011, William Dodge Moody, aka Billy Dodge, escaped to a family cottage located in Southern Massachusetts to write what would soon be called the Elephant EP: a small but powerful compilation of songs which could be best described as just over twenty minutes of resurrected nostalgia. Since then, Billy Dodge has entered into the Boston music scene, hitting Boston/Cambridge/Somerville venues, saving up to complete his first full length album. Billy's sound could be classified as a unique blend of folk, rock, Americana, and reggae. In 2012, Billy joined forces with local Boston singer, Eleanor Kaufman, who now provides her soulful voice, which has a striking resemblance to the tone of Florence Welch, as well as her backing band.
Billy resides in South Boston, MA and continues to pick away at well-known local venues including TT the Bears and the Middle East and is still in the middle of recording his full length record in Somerville, MA.
Elephant EP - released March 2012
Control - Single - March 2011

With elections round the corner, the state government is moving on the fast track. Since the code of conduct is likely to be announced in the middle of August, the government has decided to appoint the chairmen and members of various boards fast.
These appointments have been pending since the demise of late chief minister Vilasrao Deshmukh. The NCP has already submitted its list for these boards to the chief minister's office. Manikrao Thakre, president of Maharashtra State Congress Committee (MPCC), told dna that they want to expedite the approval procedures at the government and party levels.
"We had recently met chief minister Prithviraj Chavan and NCP chief Sharad Pawar and took some decisions that will boost the morale of party workers and better our prospects," Thakre added.
Thakre said he and Chavan had finalised a few names. "These names will be declared soon," he said.
Sources in the chief minister's office told dna that in the next two weeks, there will be a series of cabinet meetings to approve various proposals.
"We are making micro-level planning for better performance," Thakre added. The Congress-NCP government has been in power for the last 15 years and there's an anti-incumbency factor.
"Chavan has created an image that the govt likes to sit on files period. Also, the Congress-NCP combine has not yet recovered from the Lok Sabha defeat. There is no enthusiasm among party workers. All these are going to cause them dear," a political observer said.
The state government has also sanctioned over Rs 120 crore for ad campaigns. "In the Lok Sabha polls, we lacked marketing techniques. On the other hand, people were hypnotised by the high-voltage BJP campaign. Now, the situation is quite different," said an MPCC office-bearer.

Forget Danny Cipriani, the Springboks' biggest individual threat at Twickenham on Saturday is a discarded New Zealander.
Riki Flutey recently qualified for England after a three-year residence in the country and coach Martin Johnson sprung at the opportunity to draft the 28-year-old into his squad – his opinion of the player shaped by watching him deliver a number of outstanding performances for London Irish and Wasps since his move from Wellington in 2004.
Flutey was convinced to play for England by close friend and former All Blacks hooker Norm Hewitt. It was a tough sell, as Flutey still harboured ambitions of having the All Blacks' silver fern covering his heart as opposed to England's red rose that will occupy that area for the remainder of his Test career.
However, Flutey has spat the expected rhetoric about his pride in pulling on an England jumper and as deep as his disappointment at being overlooked by the All Blacks must be, his performances for England in a short career wouldn't suggest that.
He excelled in a mediocre England team against Australia on Saturday, looking threatening every time he got his hands on the pill. His speed off the mark, quick feet, balanced running, vision, strength in the tackle and the ability to offload in contact troubled the Wallabies and ensured England's backline possessed an unpredictable edge.
One can only imagine the extent of his impact had the England forwards not become increasingly powder puff as the Test progressed, thereby forcing him to launch attacks from further and further behind the advantage line. If the Springboks forwards continue their indifferent form, Flutey's influence will be amplified.
Flutey arguably represents Springbok No 12 Jean de Villiers' biggest challenge this year at Test level, although Ma'a Nonu will have strong claim here. But Flutey's repertoire of skills will ensure that the ace midfielder will have to be on point both defensively and on attack.
However, no player excels in a vacuum. In this regard, Flutey's combination with flyhalf Cipriani and outside centre Jamie Noon has been an outstanding feature of a team marked by mediocrity. It would be premature to ascribe greatness to the triumvirate, but they have the makings of a world-class combination.
The Flutey/Cipriani pairing was birthed and refined last season at Wasps, and their familiarity will be hugely beneficial to England against the Springboks and in future. As will Flutey's versatility.
Wasps coach, Ian McGeechan, has often utilised Flutey at flyhalf in certain circumstances, with Cipriani shifting a channel outside. Martin Johnson as admitted that strategy appeals to him and has intimated that England could employ a similar approach.
Their potency will hinge heavily on the platform their pack establishes. And if the England heavies gain the ascendency in that facet of play, the Springboks' defensive line, which has looked alarmingly porous at times on this tour, could be cut to shreds.

An interesting article from a few years ago about what recent TV shows are `new classics` :
Posted April 14 2013 - 02:33 PM
Yeah, a few years ago. (There's been an obsessive Internet geek-push by the producers and fan-club to bring Veronica Mars back, and most viewers don't even remember there was a UPN, let alone the series.)
Thing is, our culture has fallen so far away from TV, there don't seem to be "classics" anymore, just shows we temporarily get hooked on--A), for the thrill of having a favorite weekly show that we can actually look forward to on a certain day of the week, just like the old days, and B) because nobody's showing reruns, we've forgotten what it's like to have living-room comfort food.
(In my day, junior, we set the calendar by the TV: Tuesdays was Happy Days, Thursdays was Cheers and Cosby, and that's how the world turned around!)
For all the momentary thrill of gathering at the water cooler to exchange secret passwords about Downton Abbey or Game of Thrones, they just don't seem like shows we'd remember ten or twenty years later...Who watches the 80's Brideshead Revisited today?
I can never find a current series I like, so most of my Netflix viewing has been catching up on classic reruns--and by "classic" I mean Mission: Impossible and Columbo--and think we lost something from the idea of shows now wanting to be big budget cable cinematics and not comfort-food that invited itself into your living room.For anything to be a New Classic, it has to root itself so far into our culture and speak to it that it can't be easily unrooted. I can see Mad Men fitting the role (educating us about our 50's-60's sensibilities, and giving male viewers a restore idea of their missing identity), but Lost would have to come up with something more meaty than just artsy plotlines and geekdom.
Posted April 14 2013 - 03:56 PM
For anything to be a New Classic, it has to root itself so far into our culture and speak to it that it can't be easily unrooted.
That's a really high standard. There's maybe 5 shows in the history of the medium that meet that criteria.
Looking at shows from the last decade or so, Breaking Bad, Deadwood, Lost, Mad Men, The Sopranos and The Wire (arguably the best show ever made) will be held on the same pedestal as any other classic of an earlier time.

I'd say there will be more "classics" from this era that will hold up over time than there were from earlier eras.
Current shows, you seek them out if you want to watch them, and if they're no good you never have to encounter them again. It isn't like the old days, where you had 3 networks and watched whatever crap they put on the air.
Or, as was said earlier... it was comfort food, shoveled out in front of you. Now, you have to go looking for a piece of prime rib, and it's more satisfying in the end.
/that's not to say there still isn't plenty of crap on TV. And there are still "comfort food" shows, like NCIS or the various procedurials that you can catch on a specified night or 30 times per week in reruns. But you have to find the really good stuff.
Posted April 14 2013 - 05:48 PM
I agree with many of Travis' picks for modern shows that will most likely stand the test of time due to their quality of writing, producing and acting. I would also add ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT to that list, a show that was ahead of its time but is now finally getting its due recognition (considering DVD sales and streaming activity is through the roof, to the point where Netflix is reviving it for another season).
I think any show that has some quality behind it and becomes part of our water-cooler culture has a shot at longevity, but only the truly special shows that have a timeless quality to the writing and direction, and can be appreciated by any generation, will still be spoken of 20-30-50 years later. Those are qualities that have made shows from previous eras such as PERRY MASON, GUNSMOKE, I LOVE LUCY, ANDY GRIFFITH, STAR TREK, TWILIGHT ZONE, MASH, and many many others so loved and appreciated even today.
Personally, I think the 80s and 90s were weaker in terms of delivering a large number of timeless shows, when compared to the 60s, 70s, and even the 00s, even though those 2 decades managed to deliver some gems as well.
Posted April 14 2013 - 07:58 PM
That's a really high standard. There's maybe 5 shows in the history of the medium that meet that criteria.
Doesn't have to be "special", or even cinematically produced to become a "classic":
No one would've thought "kiddy" fare like Star Trek, Batman or The Monkees would become icons of their decade; everyone at the time was just focusing on, ooh, all the cool forbidden Vietnam jokes the Smothers Brothers were making. Networks were grinding variety shows out like sausage in the 70's, what made Carol Burnett and The Muppet Show retire the jersey? Why do we watch the newsroom humor of Mary Tyler Moore, but Murphy Brown hasn't aged well? Why did Rob & Laura Petrie not seem like our stereotype of the "60's-sitcom" couple?
We're getting so Emmy-happy with our dreams of HBO and Showtime wiping the network shows out of existence, we've forgotten what makes a good show, and why it shouldn't always be the same thing as a movie.
The free-channel audience has now balkanized itself into "Lost or American Idol", where network shows are either season-long overwritten serial arcs, or vaudevilles for non-union volunteers to be pushed onstage to dance, sing or compete. There's no middle ground anymore for anyone to tell a good self-contained one hour story. (The "serial arc", btw, barely even existed before Twin Peaks, and that only thought it was parodying the soap opera.)
Even the negative no-laughtrack snarkiness of Arrested Development and the Office has taken away our image of sitcoms as Cheers-like stage-comedy pieces--And trying to get them back in current artificial laughtrack CBS sitcoms has produced sour, robotic paeans to acting like irresponsible kidults.
TV was never the movies; twenty-five years ago, if you wanted to watch movies, movies were ON local stations, which is why the movies in theaters did a better job of minding their own high-quality business, and the networks minded their own pleasantly disposable hours and half-hours. TV was meant to be what radio used to be before it--a half hour of something served up, so you'd watch the commercials--and had more of a place in our living rooms.

Although any list of "great" shows is entirely subjective, and I agree with most of the shows you listed from the 90's, I would argue that two of the shows listed as 80's shows really belong to different eras.
M*A*S*H started in 1972, and spent 7.5 seasons in the 70's, and only 3.5 in the 80's, so I'd really have to call that a 70's show, much like Happy Days. WKRP also started in the 70's, but at least half of its 4 year run was in the 80's as well, so that one's more debatable.
Murphy Brown, although it started in 1988, spent the vast majority of its 10 year run in the 90's, so I'd lump that one in the list of your excellent 90's shows, to which I'd also add Highlander: The Series. Dear John also started in 1988, ending 4 years later, but as to which decade that one should be assigned, I think you make the correct call (although its a close one).
Sorry if it seems like I'm splitting hairs here, but I think my arguments are all reasonable.

The official announcement as to whether there will be a cost-of-living-adjustment (COLA) to Social Security benefits for 2011 will come later in October. But as the situation stands now, the odds are good there will not be an adjustment. That would be two years in a row with no benefits increase.
The COLA calculations are complicated — everything the government does seems to be unnecessarily complicated — but the basic rule for Social Security is that inflation is tracked by using the figures for the third quarter of the most recent year that had an adjustment. So the Social Security Administration will compare the third quarter of 2010 to the third quarter of 2008 (the last year for which we had an adjustment), and if there has not been an upward change in prices there will be no COLA for 2011. Things could change, but the latest calculations point to no change. Almost 60 million people in the United States receive Social Security retirement, disability, or supplemental income benefits.

Gayngs drop video from First Avenue prom show
Categories: Local Music
Here's your chance to re-live the glory of the "Last Prom on Earth" at First Avenue this past May (or, perhaps, get a clearer view of what the show was like if your memory is a bit hazy): Gayngs just debuted a new video on Pitchfork of the band performing "Gaudy Side of Town" in Minneapolis, and it's rife with shots of prom attendees and familiar faces. If you weren't at the show, it's a nice glimpse at how remarkably well the band pulled off the album's aesthetic in the live setting, complete with Justin Vernon singing through an Auto-Tuned mic.

V. V. Subrahmanyam
Association secretary not to contest elections; support likely for M. V. Sridhar
HYDERABAD: It was a top-spinner the club secretaries were in no mood to face. Just when there was a festive mood soon after the floodlighting of the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium (Uppal), N. Shivlal Yadav, secretary of Hyderabad Cricket Association, plunged them into darkness by announcing that he will not contest the elections anymore. "Enough is enough. I have decided to call it a day. I have to respect my family members' sentiments. There is no way I will be in the fray for elections to HCA (originally scheduled next month)," he told the stunned, 80-odd members late on Wednesday night even as they were assembling to celebrate the grand occasion of the venue getting floodlit. For all those close to Shivlal, this decision may not have come as a surprise. His line of argument is – what more is there to achieve? "I have seen the world-class stadium come up and now the floodlighting is complete; things which my predecessors could only dream off," is Shivlal's logic.
Interestingly, after the brief announcement in the presence of G. Vinod, Minister and president of HCA, Shivlal left the venue in a hurry even as some of them insisted that he should continue. "No way," was the terse reply from the secretary. What was intriguing for the HCA office-bearers was the timing of the decision and the venue. No doubt, there was dissent too about his indifference to the idea of not giving a grant of at least Rs. 1 lakh each to the clubs for development programmes from the annual BCCI grant of Rs. 10 crore.
Meanwhile, it is hinted that M. V. Sridhar will be backed for the coveted secretary's post in the elections likely to be held after the IPL in the first week of June as HCA cannot afford a change of guard midway through the mega event. And, call it coincidence or of things to come, former HCA president M. Ranga Reddy made one of those rare appearances at the stadium.
The big question remains – will there be a change of mind in Shivlal at the last minute or not?

Carlisle alcoholic waved knife while drunk
Last updated at 09:47, Saturday, 09 June 2012
AN ALCOHOLIC stumbled around his street waving a knife as he searched for men who "put him in a skip".
Michael Henry, of Millholme Avenue, Currock, Carlisle, admitted possessing a kitchen knife in a public place and being drunk and disorderly when he appeared at the city magistrates' court.
District Judge Gerald Chalk heard that the 62-year-old was a self-confessed "drunk", who has recently become the target of bullies.
Prosecutor Paul Gibson said that on May 20, a resident in Millholme Avenue came out of her house to find Henry in the street.
He asked her 'where is he?' and when she told him there was no-one else around, he began banging on the door of a property.
"The neighbour opened the door and saw Mr Henry outside mumbling," Mr Gibson continued. "He said 'it was you, you put me in the skip and broke my ribs'.
Henry pulled a knife out of his belt."
Holding the knife at chest height, Henry continued to mumble that someone had put him in a skip and he would "have them" and would happily "do time" for it.
The man who answered the door told him to go home and Henry was seen going into his own flat.
When the police arrived, they confiscated a knife from the property.
Gail Heard, defending, said Henry had struggled with alcohol since the death of his wife in 1997.
Ms Heard told the judge that about 10 days before this incident, a group of three young men seem to have come across Mr Henry on the street, drunk," she said. "They pushed him around a bit and one picked him up and dumped him into an empty skip."
Henry sat in court with his head down and his eyes shut, as the judge heard how he had become "tearful and remorseful" in interview.
Judge Chalk gave him a three-month conditional discharge for the charge of being drunk and disorderly, but declined jurisdiction for sentencing in relation to the knife charge.
He said the severity of the crime meant he felt his powers may not be sufficient.
Henry will appear for sentencing at Carlisle Crown Court on July 6.

Lindsay Lohan says she is still together with Samantha Ronson, despite reports she and her girlfriend engaged in a series of public spats over the New Year's holiday.
A source close to Lindsay told Access on Sunday that the couple broke up following a series of arguments over the New Year's period and Lindsay even moved out of the home the two were sharing to get a place of her own.
But on Monday evening, Lindsay hit her MySpace Celebrity blog to claim the two are still together.
"little piece of TRUE information: we did NOT break up!" Lindsay wrote.
According to the NY Post, the two began a series of public arguments last Tuesday at club Set in Miami, Fla., where despite the presence of their loved ones, the two engaged in a verbal spat.
"Both their families were there, and Lindsay and Samantha just started going at it," a source told the paper, which first reported the story of their fighting.
And on New Year's Eve, things went from bad to worse as Lindsay and Samantha hosted a bash together at club Mansion, where the two reportedly began another fight in public, before taking their shouting match outside.
According to the Post, Lindsay screamed, "When I storm off, you are supposed to follow me!"
The outside fracas caught extra attention as a bystander claimed it occurred in front of a vagrant.
"It was a really gross alley. There was a bum eating a sandwich and watching the whole thing," a source told the paper. "Lindsay was really unstable and flipping out."
The paper claims the war of words later turned to a physical altercation back at the hotel the two women were staying at.
"They were punching each other – it was bad," another source told the paper. "And they were doing this in front of all of us. It was scary."
The Post reported that the fight caught the attention of the hotel's security who were dispersed to take photos of the room the girls reportedly trashed.
"Mirrors were broken and it was a complete mess," a source said.
Things reportedly continued at the airport as the women boarded a flight home.
A rep for Lindsay reportedly confirmed the girls engaged in a verbal fracas.
"There was an argument - I don't know the details - but they left for LA together and it's fine," the rep told the Post.

I was astonished to find my local progressive station running the Bloomberg News. After a quick search I found out what happened:
"AM 760" KKZN Thornton/Denver is next in line to shift to another Talk variation following similar moves in recent months at sister stations in Portland and Los Angeles.... Clear Channel registered RealTalk760.com last December that could potentially be used for KKZN. With the company also owning News/Talk/Sports 850 KOA and Conservative Talk 630 KHOW perhaps the company will follow in the footsteps of its Los Angeles and San Francisco clusters and move Rush Limbaugh off of KOA to enable it to focus on all local programming.This is a shocking move for me, since we have an increasingly trending Progressive voter base in the state. And the article says 630 is the Conservative station in the area, but there are many others and 850 also runs conservative talkers too.
But that is not the only evidence, since I moved here in 2000, our state governance has gone from a Double Republican house and Senate, Republican Governor, Republican Senators, and majority Republican Congressional Caucus to now being the opposite - Democratic Senators, Democratic majorities in legislature, and Majority Dem Caucus in Congress.
So what gives? I can't believe that the Denver Metro Market can not sustain a liberal radio station. I mean Boulder is the Berkeley of the Rockies.
And I speak not only as someone who listens to the shows, but I also was on air as a progressive radio show host from 2007-2009. And I can tell you - if there is not a radio station covering these stories - many times they won't get covered at all:
That interview with Colorado Ethics Watch - prevented a scheme by then Secretary of State Mike Coffman from disenfranchising THOUSANDS of newly registered voters in the 2008 election.
In mid-September he (Coffman) issued a memo to the County Clerks telling them specifically to not register anyone who does this.ALSO:
Consequence: Thousands of new voters are attempting to register to vote, thinking they are successful because they signed up through some organization such as ACORN or any of the political parties, but are not registered and will not be allowed to vote if they do not correct their forms.
When I say thousands, I am not over-exaggerating. In Denver County alone (the only one I have numbers for so far) this ruling has resulting in approx. 3000 denied voter registrations! And that is just one county, and one with thousands of more forms to even look at!
Secretary of State Mike Coffman broke the law last year by allowing his database manager Dan Kopelman to manage the database while he was running a Republican voter database company on the side. See story by Dan WhippleAnd Coffman himself ran for Congress that year when he was supposed to be supervising the election - several conflicts of interests.
Coffman's State Elections Director was discovered to be staying at a loft owned by the software salesman who manages the Voting Machines for our state, machines that have already been de-certified, then re-certified by Coffman. She resigned pending an investigation, and it calls into question the veracity of our voting machine process.
At that time, I was working the Obama campaign and our team had personally registered many of these first time voters - and we were all concerned that a close race with Colorado going to the Republicans could have won it for McCain. Fortunately - the pressure we brought through rallies and covering it on Progressive radio and blogs forced caused a lawsuit to be filed and a judge ruled that the Sec. of State had over stepped his bounds.
Now Mike Coffman is in a Congressional Race vs. Andrew Romanoff - and it is the top watched race in the country for 2014.
So the story from 2008 is still relevant - if someone will be on air to cover it.
I can't help but think someone in the corporate news room is taking Liberal talk off air to favor Republicans in the mid terms and onwards.
It also seems that in a year when issues like controlling Fracking, Marriage Equality, income inequality, Marijuana legalization and other social and environmental issues are becoming increasingly majority issues - it would make since that these issues would be profitable to cover.
I would like to hear the community offer suggestions on a way to remedy this.
