On Oct. 9, NASA plans a close-up test of the theory that there might be ice near the moon's south pole. It has launched a mission called LCROSS -- a small satellite and its spent booster rocket. If all goes as planned, the rocket will crash in a deep crater, sending dirt and rock flying in all directions, and the satellite will measure the chemical makeup of what the rocket kicks up.
"If we find water there, it will change the course of exploration," said Rusty Hunt, an LCROSS flight director. "If there's water near the south pole, we'd go there. The people who settled the old West were able to live off the land, so to speak, and we'd do the same."
It conjures up images of the "moisture farm" where the young Luke Skywalker lives in the first Star Wars film -- but Pieters says all that is a long way off.
"Like most scientific discoveries," she said, "it raises more questions than answers. And that's what drives us."

Tracking a big cat
Researchers follow tagged mountain lion's extensive travels and learn about hidden Southern California wildlife
• Also known as cougars, pumas, panthers, catamounts and mountain cats.
• Have been killed by wildfires, disease, cars, hunters and animal- control officers.
• Number roughly 5,000 statewide.
• Roam widely across the backcountry of Southern California.
• Rarely cross from the United States into Mexico.
• Risk becoming isolated because of roads, other development and border-security measures.
• Cannot be hunted in California, where they became a "specially protected species" in 1990.
Federal agents trapped and killed a mountain lion called M56 in April after it raided a farm near the East County community of Japatul — a common fate that might have escaped greater attention were it not for the GPS collar that tracked his improbable journey.
Unlike any Southern California big cat in the past decade, he provided researchers with rare insight into the powerful and largely mysterious species that prowls suburban and rural lands.
The maturing lion plodded more than 100 miles during two months, getting lean and strong as he learned the landscape. He navigated past highways, nosed around the Wild Animal Park near Escondido, visited beaches at Camp Pendleton and probably used a wildlife crossing in Valley Center designed for creatures on the move.
Perhaps the most important discovery yielded by M56 is that despite extensive development, mountain lions still can roam between the Santa Ana Mountains of southern Orange County and the ranges of eastern San Diego County. M56 also offers clues about where to concentrate conservation efforts, along with a reminder that cats venturing into the urban edge have a higher risk of death than those who steer clear of humans.
"We didn't even have any idea that a mountain lion could travel that far in this fragmented landscape so quickly," said Trish Smith, a senior ecologist for The Nature Conservancy in San Diego. "He demonstrated that mountain lions can make a crossing of Interstate 15 and make it into the Palomar Mountains and even to the (U.S.-Mexico) border."
For Smith and other animal experts, the movement of these lions — also known as mountain cats, catamounts, panthers, pumas and cougars — between the Santa Ana and Laguna mountains is important in maintaining the genetic diversity of the species.
"If we just focused on what has been lost, we might give up," Smith said. "To know mountain lions are there and to know that we still have a certain bit of wildness in our open-space lands provides me (with) a sense that Southern California still maintains a high level of biological diversity."
The mountain-lion tracking project was started in 2000 by the Wildlife Health Center at the University of California Davis. It first focused on evaluating the impact of lions on federally protected bighorn sheep in Riverside and San Diego counties. Over time, it has expanded to assess human-lion interactions, patterns of movement and other elements.
Veterinarian Winston Vickers and his colleagues in the UC Davis program have collared 53 lions in 10 years. Twenty-five are known to be dead from a variety of causes, including disease, collisions with cars, shootings by hunters without a permit and state-approved killings to remove animals deemed to be a nuisance.

The grassroots cycling group Oakville Cycles officially launched Thursday at the Halton Active Communities Summit.
Oakville Cycles was a panel participant at the Halton summit, which the group felt was the place to officially launch their organization, stated a press release.
The group promotes cycling, bicycle-friendly business districts, cycling infrastructure and organizing social rides.
Last April, Ward 2 Town Councillor Pam Damoff invited April Economides, a consultant who creates bicycle-friendly business district plans for cities across North America, to Oakville to share her business case for bikes.
Since then, Damoff, Tom Ormerod and Blake Poland have taken the lead as co-organizers of the local initiative.
"It has been incredibly rewarding to work with Tom and Blake and other like-minded residents and businesses to see our group come to where it is today," Damoff said in the release. "We invite residents and businesses to come along for the ride — the bike ride — with us."
Oakville Cycles has hosted secure valet bike parking at its bike corrals at several BIA events, including downtown Oakville's Midnight Madness and Jazzfest, Movies in the Park, and will do the same at the upcoming Kerr Village BIA Pumpkin-palooza this weekend. It has also organized social rides to help residents "rediscover their bikes" — the most recent seeing residents ride from downtown to Bronte for a coffee.
"Active transportation is all about people having options to leave the car at home and cycle as a way to get around, meaning we're healthier, more connected, less dependent on increasingly expensive fossil fuels, and having less impact on the environment," stated Poland, a founder of Go Local Oakville.
Oakville Cycles is planning a Halloween Kidical Mass Family Bike Ride on Saturday (Oct. 27), starting from the Lions Pool parking lot at 159 Felan Ave. and ending at the Kerr Village BIA Pumpkin-palooza at Heritage Square.
It will include a safety demonstration by Halton police, the two-kilometre ride through Oakville's residential streets — secure bike valet parking and food, music and pumpkins.
Oakville's Kyle Jones, Canadian national triathlon champion and 2012 London Olympic athlete, is involved with Oakville Cycles and will be joining the ride on Oct. 27.
Jones will also be available to sign swag bags, donated by the Kerr Village BIA, which will be given to the first 50 children to arrive.
Residents are also invited to join Oakville Cycles on Nov. 15 at the Oakville Centre for the Performing Arts' showing of Spin, a theatrical performance telling stories about women, cycling and liberation through a series of songs played live on a vintage bicycle.
The pay-what-you-can performance begins at 8 p.m. — for information, visit www.oakvillecentre.ca.

James DeGale says fighting at home for the first time on Saturday means he'll get a perfect preparation - a cup of tea and an afternoon in front of the telly. DeGale, the 2008 Olympic middleweight champion, boxes at Wembley Arena on February 13, his first fight in London since his success in Beijing. For his five previous professional outings, DeGale has boxed up and down the country - but is now relishing his big home coming on Frank Warren's Night of the Champions. "I can't wait to show all my fans, friends and family just what I can do," said the 23-year-old.
"And what's even better is that I can put my feet up in my own front room on the day of the fight..
"The most stress I'll get will be making a cup of tea at home, and if I want to I can even walk to the venue!"
Meanwhile DeGale, who is 5-0 as a professional, has revealed that he's been sparring HEAVYWEIGHTS in a bid to get in shape for opponent Matthew Barr.
"I had a great training camp working with two of the country's best heavyweights, Danny Williams and John McDermott," said DeGale.
"They've been hitting me with all they have got but I've taken their best shots and come firing back. It will definitely stand me in good stead on Saturday night and then as I move up in class."
The super-middleweight added that he is targeting a title by the end of 2010, with the English, British and Commonwealth belts at 168 pounds firmly in his sights.
"I'm looking for a big year, five or six fights and a title as well," said DeGale. "I'm ready to make that step up and start boxing over 10 and 12 rounds."

Mendoza Out To Punish Mitchell
Hitman Ignacio Mendoza has been taking tips from fellow countryman Breidis Prescott ahead of his clash with Kevin Mitchell. The Colombian, who is now based in Spain, tackles unbeaten Mitchell in a WBO Intercontinental lightweight title fight on February 13 at Wembley Arena on Frank Warren's Night of the Champions. And he has vowed to avenge the defeat Mitchell inflicted on Prescott back in December. "Mitchell dented my country's pride when he beat our national hero Breidis Prescott who destroyed Amir Khan," said 26-year-old Mendoza.
"I will be out for revenge when we meet at Wembley and I will do to Mitchell what Breidis did to Khan,"
"Breidis said to me that he didn't perform as he should have against Mitchell and has told me of his weaknesses.
"Prescott fought the wrong fight against Mitchell and tried to land one big punch and Mitchell outboxed him, but that won't happen with me.
"I plan to rough him up a bit more and try and match him blow for blow and wear him down."
Mendoza turned professional in his native Colombia in 2002 before moving to Spain, and he now has stopped 18 out of 34 opponents.
And he says that victory over Mitchell will be a big break through in his professional career.
"If I win then I can get a world title shot," he said. "I take a lot of heart from the what happened when Prescott fought Amir Khan.
"Khan was supposed to be on the verge of a world title opportunity that night and Prescott was going to get knocked out, but looked what happened. I can do the same against Mitchell."

Chisora vs Baker at Wembley
Derek Chisora will tackle Carl "The Fridge" Baker on February 13 at Wembley Arena in an eliminator for the British heavyweight title. Baker holds a win over Danny Williams, who pulled out of a clash with Chisora last week. Del Boy appears to be a man that few domestic heavyweights fancy facing, after English champion Tyson Fury headed to America rather than take on his UK rival. But Baker, who beat Williams in last year's Prizefighter tournament, has stepped up to the plate and is vowing to end Chisora's unbeaten record.
However the Finchley hero, who will fight near his north London home, says that won't happen.
"Baker's going to be tough, but I'm ready to knock him out and show I'm the best in Britain," stormed Chisora.
"I'm disappointed that I won't be fighting for the British title against Williams, but my promoter Frank Warren has worked hard to make sure that this fight is an eliminator for the Lonsdale belt.
"I'll get my hands on it later this year, and having to wait now will make it all the sweeter when I finally get to lift it.
"I'm just glad that someone had the bottle to face me in the end.
"Williams claimed he was injured, while Fury's got a big mouth but no guts to back it up. He's so scared of me I'm suprised he didn't go all the way to Australia.
"Full respect to Baker for agreeing to the fight, but there's only one winner, and that's me."
Baker, a 28-year-old southpaw from Sheffield who has previously won the British heavyweight title, insists that he will emerge victorious.
"Chisora's an exciting young prospect but beating Williams had give me a massive confidence boost," he said.
"I'm always in training, and although I've been given this fight at short notice, I'll be in great shape on the night. I'm not coming to London to make up the numbers.
"It's always been my dream to win the British title and I'll be a step closer once I've knocked out Chisora."

Fincher touts small business ties
Yearning for a return to the days of close-knit communities and neighborly connectivity, Tennessee's Eighth District Republican congressman from Frog Jump on Wednesday promised to work across party lines if re-elected and safeguard interests of small business owners.
U.S. Rep. Stephen Fincher spoke to more than five dozen local business professionals at a forum sponsored by the Area Action Council, the local arm of the National Federation of Independent Business.
"I can't blame one political party for everything, but we've got to make sure that our business community doesn't feel like it's being punished by the government, " Fincher said. "We need to have like-minded Republicans and Democrats working together across the aisle, but the problem is that we have Nancy Pelosi on one side and some Republicans on the other side who remember what happened years ago and now they're thinking about payback instead of what's best for the country. These political games have to stop."
But about the only way that will happen, Fincher said, is for Mitt Romney to win the upcoming presidential election and for Republicans to maintain control of the House of Representatives and become majority party in the Senate. Otherwise, legislative action over the next few years in Washington will likely be stymied by political gridlock.
But Fincher remained optimistic about passage of a balanced-budget amendment sometime in the next few years and offered a blunt assessment of career politicians, including those in his own party.
"In my opinion I think we've got to have a balanced-budget amendment and it'll take bipartisan support, but it's necessary because we can't keep borrowing and spending money we don't have," Fincher said. "And if Republicans do regain control of government, but don't do the job they need to do, then they'll need to be replaced."
Fincher, a seventh-generation farmer and NFIB member, has remained committed to small business interests, said the organization's state director, Jim Brown. The organization, which ranks lawmakers with regard to voting records on small business issues, awarded Fincher with a 100 percent satisfactory rating.
"He gets down to the table, absorbs the information and most importantly, Rep. Fincher listens to us," Brown said. "He's one of us and his 100 percent voting records proves that he has small business interests at heart."
Kenny Crenshaw, president of Herbi-Systems and AAC president, agreed.
"It's great to have someone in Congress who actually understands the issues facing small business owners," Crenshaw said. "Rep. Finchers deals with banks and he faces regulations that we face and he understands what's important to the typical small business owner."
The NFIB, founded as a nonprofit, nonpartisan agency in 1943, has offices in Washington and in every state capital. The organization counts more than 350,000 businesses as members, with 8,500 members in Tennessee and more than 1,000 in Shelby County.

Hong Kong-based private investment fund Oasis Management has taken a 5% stake in Hawaiian Airlines' parent company.
Regulatory filings dated 4 November show that the fund made the purchase of 2,620,700 shares in Hawaiian Holdings on 30 October via a subsidiary based in the Cayman Islands.
Alex Shoghi, senior analyst with Oasis says that the fund invested in the airline because it believes it is "substantially undervalued", as investors have not factored in the upside potential of its Asian network.
"More importantly, in the longer term, the market seems to be fundamentally overlooking the potential for Hawaiian as it opens direct routes to mainland China and as well as the company's ability to begin returning cash to investors when it completes its current CAPEX program in 2015," he adds.
Other sources close to the company tell Flightglobal Pro that Oasis also sees strong potential for the carrier to tap into the growing market for overseas leisure travel from the rising middle class in China, and believes that there will be more opportunities for the carrier to expand in that market.
Hawaiian plans to start direct services from Honolulu to Beijing in April 2014, having previously relied upon feeding Chinese passengers through Seoul Incheon airport under an interline agreement with Air China.
In recent years, the airline has also added services to Brisbane, Auckland, Sapporo and Taipei as part of a major push into the wider Asia Pacific market.
At a recent briefing, chief executive Mark Dunkerley noted that the rapid expansion of Hawaiian's network will scale down as it enters a new phase where it will announce fewer new routes over the next couple of years.
Flightglobal's Ascend Online Fleets database shows that Hawaiian has a fleet of 43 aircraft in service and has a further 31 on order.

LUCASVILLE — West's dreams of returning to the district tournament came a step short Saturday as No. 2 Lynchburg-Clay wore down the seventh-seeded Senators in a 72-49 Division III Southeast Sectional Final at Valley High School.
"We play easily about seven or eight girls, (two of them) coming off the bench so our legs got a little bit tired," West coach Kayla Wiley said. "We came back, we gave it our all and some things weren't going our way. Our shots weren't falling, we got some key people in foul trouble but I'm proud of my girls, they fought hard until the end and that's all that I can ask for."
The Mustangs, who never trailed in the contest, used a 14-2 run through most of the opening period to build a comfortable lead at 19-6 before Alex Ridout gave the Senators some hope entering the second when she banked in a 3-pointer before the buzzer.
As both teams played to a 16-16 wash in the second, West made its final push early in the third thanks to a 7-2 spurt to start the third at 27-32, but Lynchburg-Clay countered with a 10-2 run and never looked back. The ringleader of the Mustang offense was Ali Little, who had a game-high 20 points.
Despite fouling out with 6:11 left in the contest, Taylor Conley led West with 19 points on 6-of-10 shooting and Ridout added 16 in the defeat.
"Whether (Conley) is scoring points, which she did tonight, or she's not, she's a leader out there," Wiley said. "She's our leader out there and and she helps out. The three seniors are leaders but she's one of the main ones, talking, always giving our team intensity and cheering us on."
The Senators will graduate Conley, Ridout and Bobbie Jo Howard, who finished with two points.

About Byblos
History and background of Byblos. Established in 1973, Byblos has been home to the creative genius of Gianni Versace (1977-1979), Guy Paulin (1979-1982), Keith Varty and Allen Cleaver (1981-1996), Richard Tyler and John Bartlett. Unlike Chloe that embraces the total personality of its current head designer, Byblos has created a style and signature separated from the designer and definitely Byblos. Read more about Byblos

Comments about Byblos Perfume:
I have always loved perfume, and needless to say, have tried several. Byblos is just different, easily recongizeable, a statement scent but never overpowering. I have never heard anyone say they disliked it. It is not sweet nor spicy, it reminds me of White Mediterranean roses and wood. I also like Encre Noire by Lalike for men, Omnia by Bulgaria, Orange blossom and for men, Vieille eau de cologne (this is not a brand). Only not so great, maybe just the bottle, but who cares?

WACO, Texas — Breanna Stewart had 18 points and 11 rebounds as top-ranked Connecticut won 66-55 at No. 7 Baylor, ending the Lady Bears' national-best 69-game home winning streak Monday night.
In a matchup of the last two national champions, defending champ UConn (18-0) held on to win its closest game this season. The Huskies had beaten their first five ranked opponents by an average margin of 22 points, and nobody had finished within 19 of them.
Baylor (14-2) hadn't lost at home since a 70-54 defeat to Texas in its regular-season home finale March 7, 2010. Senior starters Odyssey Sims, the national scoring leader, and Makenzie Robertson, the daughter of coach Kim Mulkey, had never lost a game in the Ferrell Center.
The Huskies have two of the five longest home winning streaks in women's basketball, their record of 99 snapped two years ago and an earlier 69-game streak. They have snapped the other three, previously ending Stanford's 82-game streak last season and winning at Tennessee after the Lady Volunteers had been the first team to win 69 straight at home 18 years ago.
Bria Hartley had 17 points, Moriah Jefferson 13 and Stefanie Dolson 10 for UConn, which has won 24 in a row overall. That matches the sixth-longest winning streak in school history, and is their second 24-game winning streak since their record 90 in a row ended in December 2010.
Sims, who entered the contest with 31.8 points per game, finished with 20 points on only 4-of-25 shooting. She made all 10 of her free throws, none after halftime.
Robertson had 10 points including three 3-pointers for Baylor. Freshman Nina Davis had 11 points and 17 rebounds.

A City of Rock, A Lake of Salt
By JO BROYLES YOHAY
Published: March 5, 2000
OUR Bedouin driver was regal in long robe, sandals and flowing headdress. His four passengers carried themselves with considerably less dignity. Instead of sitting astride camels, our right legs draped casually around saddle horns, we were clinging for dear life to makeshift benches in the bed of a battered Japanese-made, four-wheel-drive pickup truck.
We bumped and lurched our way over soft sand through the most magnificent desert scenery any of us had ever seen -- the immense tract of southern Jordan known as Wadi Rum. We were headed into the interior to watch the sunset deepen into twilight; we would return under a starry sky unsullied by electric lights. T. E. Lawrence, moved by Wadi Rum's strange beauty, called it ''vast and echoing and God-like.'' You could walk here for days without seeing another soul.
On every side of us, huge, weathered rock formations in shades of amber, crimson and burnt sienna soared a thousand feet out of the valley floor and stretched down mile-wide avenues of red sand that seemed to go on forever. Their sheer bulk was astounding. Some had smooth, vertical flanks; others, scarred and distorted, seemed to drip and melt like candle wax in the burning March sun.
On a drive through Jordan, we had hired our truck and its owner-driver in the tiny desert village of Rum, a mixture of black, goat-hair Bedouin tents, camels slung with kilim saddlebags -- and power lines. The simple Government rest house for travelers featured in its outdoor cafe the same white plastic chairs that threaten to smudge cafes around the globe into anonymity.
My husband, Victor, and I were in Jordan on an extension of a longer trip to Turkey. Friends from New York, visiting family in Amman, had urged us to join them for a few days of sightseeing. Such an offer, in my book, is not to be taken lightly. To see a new place with people who know it well is lucky; to do it in the company of good friends is irresistible. So, though Jordan was not high on our travel list -- we knew almost nothing about it -- we jumped at the chance. A little research assured us that not only is Jordan a safe place to travel, but also its Arab inhabitants are among the most hospitable people in the world.
With our friends, we planned to drive almost the entire length of Jordan along the King's Highway (at-Tariq al-Mouluki), an ancient route once used by traders and pilgrims. The sparsely traveled two-lane highway snakes through an ancient ridge of mountains along the Dead Sea as it passes through a rich succession of historic sites.
To make the most of our three days on the road, we opted for the convenience of renting a roomy Mercedes taxi (which admittedly had been around the block a time or two). Our driver, Haj Ameen, wore perfectly tailored Western trousers, spoke colorful English and was full of good cheer.
We set off from Amman in the early morning, spirits high, water bottles full and picnic basket brimming with fresh-picked oranges and bread still warm from the local market. Scarcely a half-hour out of Amman, we began a steep climb over hills so barren we could see for miles in every direction. Herds of sheep and goats, tended by shepherds, nibbled at tufts of struggling grass. An occasional pack-camel lumbered by.
Our ascent led to the top of Mount Nebo, where Moses glimpsed the Promised Land. We stood high on a rock wall, perched 2,300 feet above the Jordan Valley. The day was just clear enough for a tantalizing view of the haze over the Dead Sea and the fuzzy green of Jericho beyond. Only the hairpin curves of macadam road far below reminded us that we weren't looking straight into the Old Testament.
A few miles later, we stopped in Madaba. Pale stone buildings hugged the bustling streets. The town, inhabited for some 4,000 years, is best known for its collection of Byzantine mosaics preserved in various churches and museums. One highlight is a gloriously detailed sixth-century map of the Middle East, stretching from Lebanon to Egypt. It is the oldest extant map of Palestine, and surely the most charming -- mosaic fish swim in the Jordan River beneath two ferry crossings; the gates of Jerusalem are so accurately situated that modern-day travelers could use them for navigation.
The mosaic map was discovered in the late 19th century in the rubble of a former Byzantine church when builders began work on the present Greek Orthodox Church of St. George, a building erected over the old site that is used today for services by local Christians, who form at least half of Madaba's population. After marveling at the details, we strolled through the courtyard of a nearby art school, where students practice the ancient art of mosaic and create their own works.
To give us a close-up of the Dead Sea, Haj Ameen detoured briefly from the King's Highway. For a while we plunged downward, then turned onto a brand new stretch of road along the shoreline. Not even the word ''Dead'' in the name had prepared Victor and me for the eerie quiet of the motionless, turquoise water.

Tweaking rules to keep the 690 out is a moot point as they aren't dominating the class, so far not even a podium finish. There are always going to be bikes with a big advantage over others in a class like this. A BMW 1200GSA in the same class as a KTM 950 SE? That's crazy and certainly not a fair fight but seems to me the whole point of this class is racing with the
wrong equipment
and doing it with a big smile on your race.
Being that it's a struggle to find enough guys wanting to race, why not open up the rules or make exceptions. Keep the 652cc min but wave it for certain bikes like the KLR650, 650 V-Strom, DR650 (others?).

Former cop says he didn't kill girl in '57
SEATTLE A former police officer arrested in the 1957 murder of an Illinois girl said in a jailhouse interview that he has an "iron-clad alibi" and had nothing to do with her disappearance or death.
Jack Daniel McCullough, 71, told The Associated Press Thursday night that he wants justice to be done for 7-year-old Maria Ridulph, whose disappearance terrified the small farming town of Sycamore, about 50 miles west of Chicago, and drew the personal interest of then-FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover.
But he stuck to the same alibi he gave when first questioned by investigators more than half a century ago, when he was 18: that he could not have committed the murder because he had traveled to Chicago that day for military medical exams before enlisting in the Air Force.
"I have an iron-clad alibi," he said. "I did not commit a murder."
McCullough, then known as John Tessier, lived near the girl and matched the description of the suspect given by Ridulph's 8-year-old friend, Cathy Sigman, who last saw her on Dec. 3, 1957, at about 6 p.m. Sigman said she left Maria with a young man and ran home to get some mittens; when she returned 15 minutes later, the two were gone.
Thousands of people joined in the search for the missing girl, and many kept their own children locked indoors lest they be nabbed next. Maria's remains were found the following April, about 120 miles away.
McCullough was arrested in Seattle last week after investigators said new evidence undermined his alibi. He's being held in the King County Jail on a fugitive charge pending his return to Illinois.
According to a police affidavit in the case, last year, McCullough's high school girlfriend discovered his train ticket to Chicago behind a framed photograph of them - and it was unused. Detectives wrote that when he was questioned in 1957, he claimed he had traveled to Chicago by train.
Though Sigman said she was never asked to identify McCullough as the suspect at the time, she picked his photo out of a montage detectives showed her last September, the affidavit said.
The affidavit also alleged that McCullough has a history of molesting girls. One young witness told agents in 1957 that he had sexually abused her on numerous occasions, and in the early 1980s he lost his job with the Milton police department in Washington state after he was accused of having sexual abuse with a runaway in her early teens. He pleaded guilty in 1983 to unlawfully communicating with a minor.
McCullough declined to discuss those topics with the AP.
"Don't go there. What I did or didn't do in my private life that would make me look bad, so what?" he said. "I didn't commit a murder, and that's all I'm charged with."
The white-haired, white-mustachioed McCullough spoke with the AP by telephone receiver through a glass partition, wearing a bright red jail uniform, and began the interview by pressing against the glass a crinkled piece of white paper on which he had scrawled letters and words in various alphabets - by which he meant to demonstrate that he wasn't an idiot, he said. He developed a love of studying other languages and alphabets while in the military, and maintains the hobby as a vehicle for learning about history, he said: He's currently studying the ancient script of cuneiform and said he has recently started praying to the ancient god of the Persians, Ahuramazda.

He has played all or part of eleven seasons in Major League Baseball, and currently plays for the Saraperos de Saltillo in the Mexican League. At 6 ft 4 in (1.93 m), 275 lb, he bats and throws right-handed.
Starting from The Dominican[edit]

Baseball career[edit]
In his Major League Baseball career, Yan has posted a 33-39 record with 51 saves and a 5.14 ERA in 472 games played.[2] Yan has previously played with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Texas Rangers, St. Louis Cardinals, Detroit Tigers, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, and Cincinnati Reds.
Baseball in Asia[edit]
Yan spent the 2007 season as a pitcher for the Hanshin Tigers of Nippon Professional Baseball's Central League. In 2008, Yan rejoined the Orioles organization, but this time with its minor league affiliate the Norfolk Tides.[3] Yan was released on July 18, 2008. He signed with SK Wyverns of the Korean Baseball League in July, 2008 and spent the rest of the season with them.
Mexican and Independent Leagues[edit]
Yan spent the first half of 2009 pitching for the Bridgeport Bluefish, an unaffiliated minor league team in the Atlantic League. On August 11, 2009, Yan signed a minor league contract with the Florida Marlins and was assigned to the New Orleans Zephyrs. However, he failed the physical and stayed with Bridgeport.[citation needed] He signed with the Diablos Rojos del México to start 2010, then returned to the Bluefish, by whom he was activated on August 17.[4] He returned to the Bluefish in 2011, splitting the season between Bridgeport and the Vaqueros Laguna of the Mexican League. He signed with the Saraperos de Saltillo for the 2012 season.
Famous moments[edit]
On June 4, 2000, Yan hit a home run in his first major league at bat, on the first pitch. He also had a single in his next at bat, the only other of his career, giving him a 1.000 batting average and a 2.500 slugging percentage.
He was referenced in "C.E. D'oh," an episode of the television show The Simpsons.

Hepatitis A and B Vaccines
In this article
What Is Hepatitis B and How Does It Differ From Hepatitis A?
Hepatitis B is caused by the hepatitis B virus or HBV. Like hepatitis A, it may start as an acute disease, causing a mild illness that lasts for a few weeks. But in some people, especially infants, the hepatitis B virus lingers, causing a lifelong chronic illness that causes long-term liver problems. Even people who have had the disease for 20 or 30 years without symptoms are at risk for serious liver problems, such as cirrhosis or liver cancer.
Hepatitis B is spread when blood, semen, or other bodily fluid of someone who has it enters the body of someone who doesn't. An infected mother can pass the disease on to her child at birth. You can also get the disease by:
- Having unprotected sex with an infected partner
- Sharing needles, syringes, or other drug paraphernalia
- Using something that may contain an infected person's blood, such as a razor or toothbrush
- Coming in direct contact with the blood of someone who has the disease
- Being exposed to blood from needle sticks or other sharp instruments
Unlike hepatitis A, hepatitis B is not spread through food or water, and you can't get it from sharing eating utensils, hugging, kissing, holding hands, coughing, or sneezing. And if you are an infected mother, you can't pass it on to your child through breastfeeding.
Children younger than age 6 who have hepatitis B often have no symptoms. In older children and adults, symptoms of acute hepatitis B include:
- Fever
- Fatigue
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Abdominal pain
- Dark urine
- Clay-colored bowel movements
- Joint pain
- Jaundice
Close to 90% of infants who become infected with HBV will develop chronic hepatitis B and carry the disease with them for life.
How Effective Are the Vaccines for Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B, and Are They Safe?
Both the vaccines for hepatitis A and the vaccines for hepatitis B are highly effective. In studies of the four vaccines used for hepatitis A, nearly 100% of all adults who receive one develop protective levels of antibodies within one month of receiving a single dose. In addition, eight years after receiving two or more doses, 99% to 100% of vaccinated individuals were still fully protected. Results are similar for the hepatitis B vaccine, and experts estimate that both vaccines will give immunity for up to 20 or 30 years and possibly for life.

2011 PGA Tour Championship Odds To Win – Luke Donald Favored
2011 PGA Tour Championship Odds To Win – Luke Donald Favored
2011 PGA Tour Championship Odds To Win – Luke Donald Favored
By Drew Sharper
ATLANTA, GA (TheSpread) – The final 30 golfers left in the FedEx Cup Standings will compete in the final playoff event, the PGA Tour Championship, this week. Here is a look at the odds for this game.
According to oddsmakers, Luke Donald is the favorite to win the event with 13/2 odds. Other short odds to win are Webb Simpson (12/1) while four other golfers have 16/1 odds.
Donald is No. 1 in the world rankings and is fourth in the FedEx Cup standings. Donald has one tour win and 12 top 10's on the year. Donald has finished in the top 20 of his last six golf tournaments. Donald finished second in this tournament last year.
Simpson is leading the playoff standings by 1,420 points over Dustin Johnson. Simpson has two tour wins and 10 top 10's this year. He has finished in the top 10 of his last four tournaments, which includes two victories. Simpson is currently 13th in the world rankings. He didn't qualify for last year's event.
The group of golfers with 16/1 odds includes Johnson, as well as Adam Scott, who won this tournament back in 2006.
The 2011 PGA Tour Championship is played at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Ga. and will start on Thursday, Sept. 22 and conclude on Sunday, Sept. 25.

The TOUR Championship betting: Handicapper's Preview and Picks
By Matt Fargo
After nine months and 40 events, we have reached the final stop on tour with The TOUR Championship. This week will decide the FedEx Cup Champion and the $10 million bonus that comes with it. A win by any of the players currently ranked in the top five are guaranteed the FedEx Championship while players outside the top five can still get it with a win and some help but the chances are slim.
The TOUR Championship takes place at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta for the 11th time including the last eight. At 7,304 yards, East Lake is the second-longest par 70 the touring pros see all year but bombing the ball won't necessarily get it done. Accuracy off the tee is a must as is putting. The welcomed news for scoring is that the summer was very dry meaning the rough is manageable so accuracy is not quite as big.
This is a course where each hole needs to be thought out and played backwards in order to get the best shots into the green. That makes greens in regulation very important to set up birdie opportunities from the best situations. This is the first time in the 11 years that there have been no changes done to East Lake which should help out participants from last year. There are just seven first time participants this year.
The reigning champion is Jim Furyk who won the championship despite coming in ranked 11th in the FedEx Standings. That gives hope to the players ranked outside the top five as they know, while the chances are slimmer the further down they go, they can still pull this whole thing out. Furyk closed with a 70 to win by a shot over Luke Donald. We will not be seeing Furyk this year as his Sunday 76 at Cog Hill dropped him to 36th.
This week's favorite is Luke Donald (+600) and while those odds seem like a very short return, you have to realize the field is cut by close to 80 percent. The stage is set for the world's number one player to bring it home and secure Player of the Year honors as well. He is ranked fourth in the standings after back-to-back top fours so he once again controls his destiny. As mentioned, he finished solo second here a year ago.
Matt Kuchar (+1,500) is on the short list of players that control their own destiny as he is currently fifth in the standings. After coming in second at the Barclays to open the playoffs, he has posted a T25 and a T22 the last two events but that actually may be a benefit here as it is difficult to play extremely well each week. That held true last year as his T25 at East Lake was a disappointment two top threes coming in.
Jason Day's (+1,500) biggest flaw could be his inaccuracy off the tee but that won't hurt him as much this week as the rough is light. He is 11th on tour in bogey avoidance which means he gets up and down no matter where he is. He is 10th in the standings and while he will need to win and get help, he has the game to do it. An opening round 77 at the BMW last week did him in. He finished T17 at East Lake a year ago.
K.J. Choi (+2,500) played well last week with a T10 to move up to 13th in the standings. He won THE PLAYERS Championship earlier this season so beating a big named field is not a problem and it is even more advantageous now that the field size has been cut down drastically. East Lake suits him fine as in his last two starts at the TOUR Championship, he finished T7 a year ago and solo ninth in 2008.
Geoff Ogilvy (+2,500) had to pull off some clutch play to get here. He barely snuck into the BMW as he made two huge putts at the Deutsche Bank Championship on the final two holes. He then needed to finish no lower than third last week and he walked away with a solo third. He locked up a spot on the President's Cup team because of it and now he can play under less pressure and see where it takes him. He finished T13 here last year.

A person that wants to run an industry benefits by knowing the legal ways to operate it. Business and the law exist together for very important reasons. It is the right and responsibility of every person to know and understand the law, especially those who plan to own and operate a large or small enterprise.
Productive and stable companies are formed by following important laws. When someone wants to open an establishment that he or she will operate and own, certain licenses might be needed. Many law experts and attorneys can help owners of companies to make the right decisions that allow them to run legal and successful businesses.
Depending on the type of career outlet a person chooses to own, they must know various laws so that they do not commit any illegal activities by mistake. Illegal actions that are taking place while running a business can be blamed on the owner. A company owner that is charged with illegal activities can be fined or jailed, but knowing the laws can keep this from happening.
A lot of corporations want people to help them by serving clients and customers. These workers are vital to support a company and they have to be protected and paid under work-related laws. It is best to understand laws regarding the practices and standards that are necessary for fair treatment of employees.
It is a serious matter if employees are not respected. An attorney may be hired to sue any company that treats employees wrongly. Lawsuits against a company presents a bad image of the enterprise, and money may be lost if additional payment is requested by the employee that is suing.
Many laws have to be put into effect regarding the environment that company owners and workers must be in. Enterprises that are career driven need to be safe to work in at all times. Laws about employee health should be followed to avoid businesses from being shut down.
Inappropriate conduct would not be controlled if law was not provided to serve as a guide for what can and cannot be done. Some people are not very ethical and will be unfair if it helps them to prosper in the business world. Without law, many businesses also would not be protected because other enterprises could try to take them over through unlawful practices. Understanding business and the law provides protection for everyone that is involved in the operation of businesses.
