The experience of solitude has had a life changing effect on me. My first solo boat trip was in 2011 from Cape Town to Goa. The voyage did not begin well because in the first week itself I lost a batten, the sail tore, the generator caught fire, the mechanical autopilot broke and the electronic autopilots stopped holding course because the wind instrument had stopped working right. All this while I was suffering from seasickness. There was a gale blowing outside, but from my experience the immediate threat came from within–an unsettled mind. I didn't know much about meditation then, but I knew that repeating a sound calms the mind, so that's what I did. Consequently, the remaining voyage was a blissful experience and I began to enjoy the solitude. In fact, when I stepped on land for the first time after a little over a month, the transformative effect of the journey was already showing–I turned vegetarian even though meals at the Catholic household I grew up in are incomplete without meat, fowl or fish. In the following months, I found someone to teach me meditation techniques to practise on a daily basis.
From June 2011 to October 2012 I was preparing the boat for another long voyage; I was challenging myself, with the help of the navy, to sail around the world non-stop and solo. I was preparing myself for almost six months of extremely stressful conditions, and the boat, for taking severe beating day after day. Tales of seafarers are rife with stories of sailors committing suicide on such ventures. On November 2012, I was finally set to sail.
During the voyage, I would partake the first meal only after meditation, no matter what weather we sailed in or what pressing emergency stood my way. There was though, a patch in the Pacific where I stopped meditating; it affected the way I took rest and my mental well-being began to ebb. Recognising the symptoms, I restarted. By the time I had rounded the most feared cape, Cape Horn, I had spent 86 solitary days at sea soaking up a heady concoction of bliss and detachment that came with solitude and meditation. That day, when I saw land for the first time in almost three months, I was depressed that the voyage would end someday.
As the voyage progressed and difficulties increased, I found that meditation was helping me understand the mind differently; I realised the mind itself can be seen as an entity other than the self because of which it can be easily controlled. I became so good at controlling my mind that when disaster struck, I discovered uncoloured ways of solving problems rather than responding emotionally. One particular incident that I vividly recollect pertains to a line that parted on top of the mast. It was the 10th of January and I was in the middle of the Pacific. The sea was about 3 metres and in an instant I had realised that I would be living through one of the most difficult days of my life, because in the next couple of hours I would have to climb a mast that was as tall as a seven storey building (and it was swaying quite a lot thanks to the sea), fix the parted line and come down. Instead of cursing the day or my decision to embark on something like this, I prepared myself to climb, completed the task at hand and came down.
Because of meditations I was also in tune with everything around me. There were many instances where I could sense things before they happened. Sometimes I would dream the exact same dreams as some of my friends on land, or be able to tell that something important had happened back home just by what was happening in the boat.
Living away from human society also altered many notions that I had been indoctrinated with since childhood. Life existed at an essential level as I survived with limited resources in a hostile environment. The self, though, was active, introspective and asking questions, which I hadn't had the time to answer earlier. My concepts of right and wrong, good and bad, real and unreal, guilt and even God were transforming. By the end of the voyage I was sure that what I saw in the material world was actually immaterial in my pursuit of happiness. Not having conversations with anyone also meant that I didn't have to convince anyone. I stopped lying, exaggerating or inventing stories except for the occasional blogpost and interactions with the world still bound by land. The sea itself taught me a lot with its passionate yet impersonal style that barely acknowledged my existence. It would be calm now and very rough the next moment. In the beginning I only noticed its playfulness, but in time I saw the unseen depths of the sea, where it was always calm, unchanged. The sea was the cause of my troubles, but I knew that it was also the cause of my heroics. It threw troubles my way, never wanting to know what I was, who I was, what I thought or what ingenious excuses I could come up with–only what I could do and how.
I had to return to the starting point of my voyage to know how much I had changed. I still saw people chasing the same physical comforts and trying to alter their external conditions to suit their needs and find happiness. When it poured, I saw them opening umbrellas in defense without realising that what they experienced as rain was possibly not rain, but a recreation of the mind.
Over a year since I've returned to land, I now look at the world differently. I have realised that all that you see, touch and feel may not necessarily be reality. My life has become more spartan–at home, I neither use a fan nor an air conditioner even in the worst heat, and I definitely feel like I am a part of a greater whole.

Of the three types of Roman Catholic records most commonly used for genealogical purposes (baptismal, marriage, and burial), marriage records are often the most useful, and potentially the most complex. Most useful because of the sheer amount of genealogical information that can often be gleaned from a Catholic marriage record. While a baptismal record will supply the names of two family lines (the names of both the father and the mother of the baptized infant), a marriage record will often supply four: the names of both the father and the mother of the groom; and the names of both the father and the mother of the bride. And the mother of…

Excellent location overlooking the water and just 10 minute walk into the centre of fethiye. There is also a shuttle bus that runs every 15 minutes for 2TL! Staff are very friendly and will help out where ever they can. My only slight issue is that there was no locker in the rooms. Although the door is lockable so that sort of makes up for it.

Senators coach Paul MacLean gets 3-year extension
Updated: July 4, 2013, 3:56 PM ETAssociated Press
OTTAWA -- Paul MacLean, the NHL's coach of the year, has signed a three-year extension with the Ottawa Senators.
MacLean won the Jack Adams Award this past season as the league's top coach after leading the injury-riddled Senators to a 25-17-6 record after the NHL lockout.
Financial terms of the contract weren't disclosed, but Senators general manager Bryan Murray said the sides felt they were able to come to an agreement on what was fair.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
In this course, professional audio engineer Scott Hirsch shows how to create an evocative sound mix for a film or video, built from basic audio collected during the shoot and transformed into a final mix using Pro Tools 9. This course shows how to set up and optimize a Pro Tools session template for projects with unique requirements, record Foley and ADR audio, layer sound effects, perform corrections such as noise reduction and pitch shifting, mix for stereo and 5.1 surround sound, and finally, how to format and deliver the finalized mix, whether destined for DVD, movie theater, broadcast, or the web.
Of all the audio problems you'll encounter, broadband noise is the toughest to work with. Broadband noise is characterized by noise spanning the audio spectrum in unpredictable frequencies in varying amplitudes over time. In this movie, we'll learn what we can do to tackle these types of noise problems the best we can. We're going to be using a broadband noise eeduction tool here used by iZotope called Denoiser, but there are few different tools out there in the market that do the same thing. Waves makes X-Noise, Pro Tools makes one called BNR, Broadband Noise Reduction, and all of them work in a similar fashion.
Let's take a listen to the audio we are working with, so we can identify the type of noise we're talking about. (Male speaker: The Ventura Improv Company started in 1989. There were some of us who had been doing some improv but never really quite got it.) (Male speaker: We just kind of knew it was something we wanted to do.) The recording of the voice sounds fine but you can hear this sort of background wash going on that we're going to try to attenuate through noise reduction. So we're going to first make a copy of this track as an alternate playlist, so we can always go back to the original after we've done our noise reduction work.
It's always good to do that to make sure that the work you've done is actually better than the original. So I'm going to go into the Track playlist and choose Duplicate. So we'll make another version of that track and we can always go back and forth between the two, and we'll work on the second version. And the second thing we're going to do before actually getting into the Noise Reduction plug-in is to try to remove as much audio problems as we can through other means like EQ. For example, if we can get out any low frequency rumble before we get into the Noise Reduction that will be totally beneficial to us, because the less the Noise Reduction plug-in has to work, the better off we are.
So let's start with on the first insert slot here. Let's choose a EQ 3 1-Band EQ and we're going to actually just use a High-Pass filter at a fairly steep slope, 18 dB/ octave, and we'll get this down low. So again, we're just trying to remove any unwanted low frequency noise. So we can probably get away with somewhere around 80 Hz. That will be below the actor's voice but just enough to remove any rumble. So let's hear what the sounds like with this EQ in.
(Male speaker: ?.Company started in 1989. There were some of us who had been doing some improv but never really quite got it.) Okay, so we still hear the broadband noise going on but again, here we're just trying to get rid of anything we can before we get into the Noise Reduction plug-in. So on the second slot after this we're going to first start out by using the iZotope Denoiser plug-in in real-time, and here it is called RX 2 Denoiser. You have to remember that these types of plug-ins incur a lot of latency, so it's actually not practical in the end to use a real-time broadband noise reduction plug-in, but we'll use it now just to get our settings right and then as you'll see, we will move over to an AudioSuite version of the plug-in.
So all of these noise reduction plug-ins work in a similar fashion. You need to actually sample a bit of the sound that has just the pure noise and not any of the voice or not any of the sound you're trying to keep. There's not a whole lot of space in this sequence where there is just the noise out in the open but I found a small section here towards the end where we have a sampling of just the noise, which is what you need to do. You have to actually have the plug-in learn or capture this sound and then it will work off that sound to noise reduce the rest of the sequence.
So I'm going to make a selection over this section and I'll just to hear it, let me bypass the plug-in. We can hear what just the noise alone sounds like. (White noise) So you want to get a decent sampling and that should be long enough. It doesn't have to be too long, as long as it's a good representative example of sound. So let me un-bypass the plug-in and I'm going to click the Learn button and all I need to do is play it back once and hit Stop, and you can see that the iZotope now has a noise print that it will work off of.
So at this stage, I'm going to go back to the beginning or close to the beginning of the sequence. Just move the plug-in out of the way so I can see what I'm doing. And I'm going to grab a section of it. We don't listen to the whole thing. Just grab a good section of it, something like this, and that will loop and my playback is in Loop mode. So we'll hear the same section over and over again as we work but it would be a good way for us to tell how we're going. So the name of the game when you're using this type of plug-in is you're going to have to find kind of a sweet spot between where the noise is gone and you have artifacts and where you're just not noise reducing enough. And I'm going to keep it simple.
We're going to have two sliders here. We have Noise reduction. So higher this slider is the more noise reduction we're doing. And then there is the Smoothing fader. So this actually helps to kind of decrease some of the artifacting. If I move the Noise reduction all the way up and we listen, (Male speaker: You know why? And in that year we met a woman named Barbara Scott from San Francisco who did a workshop.) You can hear all the noise is gone, but the actor himself sounds like he is kind of underwater and that's one of the negative artifacts that these types of plug-ins have.
So we're going to have to find a compromise like I said. I'm going to play it and I'm going to back this off until I feel like I've gotten a good spot. (Male speaker: You know why? And in that year we met a woman named Barbara Scott from San Francisco who did a workshop in Santa Paula.) (Male speaker: Right just down the street here and suddenly a lot of this stuff starting making sense for?) I'm going to pick an earlier version when you can hear that car passing, just because that's throwing in another third variable that we have to deal with. So get back here.
(Male speaker: ?been doing some improv but never really quite got it.) (Male speaker: We just kind of knew it was something we wanted to do. But when a scene failed?) So it seems to me that the sweet spot in this case is somewhere around 9 or 10 in Noise reduction. Anything above that we start hearing artifacting and anything below that we just still hear the noise. So it's not working. It seems like around there is a perfect spot and then I'm going to move the Smoothing around and see if I can kind of even further enhance that. (Male speaker: ?had been doing some improv but never really quite got it.) (Male speaker: We just kind of knew it was something we wanted to do. But when?) So it seems like a Smoothing of 7 takes care of a little bit of the artifacting.
One other approach you can do when you're trying to find that sweet spot that we've been talking about is to click this box where you just output the noise only and then we're kind of inverting the whole thing. So we're hearing just the noise and not the original audio. Just the noise that we are reducing. So if I'm hearing just the noise and I move the Noise reduction up, we should start then hearing the voice which means that we're going too far with that noise reduction. (Inaudible) So you can hear then if I go too high with the Noise reduction, I'm getting some of the voice into the noise I'm trying to attenuate, which is a bad thing, as we're trying to leave the voice alone and we're trying to just get the noise out.
So, again. (Inaudible) When I'm around 9, when I listen to the output of noise only, I'm just hearing a bit of noise, which is kind of where you want to be with that setting. So I'm going to uncheck that. So that's just a helper tool, just to kind of help you find that sweet spot. (Male speaker: ?who had been doing some improv but never really quite got it.) So let me bypass the plug-in and see if what we're doing is actually effective. (Male speaker: ?who had been doing some improv but never really quite got it. We just...) So that sounded good.
When I had the plug-in bypassed, I heard some of the noise. When I put the plug-in back in, the noise went away but his voice sounded okay. So I'm going to go with these settings. Now remember, I said that you can't use this as a real-time plug-in. So we're going to actually now copy these settings to the clipboard. So in the Preset menu, just like in any plug-in, copy these Settings and I can close this plug-in and I'm actually going to take the plug-in off of the real-time inserts, and I'm going to select all of the audio and go into the AudioSuite plug-in and open up that version of the Denoiser.
Now the AudioSuite version because it's offline actually has some better algorithms. We can go to the best algorithm, algorithm D. It's slowest but it works the best. We choose that one and then I'm going to go up to the Preset menu and paste my settings in. So there is the settings. Remember Noise reduction is 9, Smoothing is at 7, and I'm going to process the audio with this plug-in. Okay, so here's our final noise reduced sequence. (Male speaker: ...in 1989. There were some of us who had been doing some improv...) And I can compare it to the original.
(Male speaker: ...in 1989. There were some of us who had been doing some improv but never...) (Male speaker: ...in 1989. There were some of us...) So as you can hear, it's a little bit cleaner and we've got some of that background wash out of the way. So using any type of broadband noise reduction plug-in is always kind of a compromise. You're trying to find the best spot between the artifacts and the noise reduction and you kind of have to move the sliders around and use your ears to tell you if your work is being effective or not. And if you get stumped, it's best to put it down for a few and come back to it and see if you can get it back to a spot where you're actually able to reduce some of the broadband noise.

MLB sues Fla. clinic over banned player drugs
Friday - 3/22/2013, 11:10pm EDT
AP Legal Affairs Writer
MIAMI (AP) -- Major League Baseball on Friday sued a now-shuttered South Florida clinic and its operators, accusing them of scheming to provide banned performance-enhancing drugs to players in violation of their contracts.
The lawsuit in Miami-Dade Circuit Court seeks unspecified damages from Coral Gables anti-aging clinic Biogenesis of America and its operator, Anthony Bosch. Several other Bosch associates are named in the lawsuit. A phone message left for a Bosch representative wasn't immediately returned, and associates have previously said Anthony Bosch is out of the country.
MLB contends the clinic's operators solicited players to use banned substances knowing that would violate their contracts, specifically the drug prevention and treatment program that became effective in 2003. That program, part of baseball's collective bargaining agreement with players, includes a list of banned substances, lays out penalties for violations and imposes testing requirements.
Because of the alleged conspiracy, the lawsuit contends MLB has suffered "costs of investigation, loss of goodwill, loss of revenue and profits and injury to its reputation, image, strategic advantage and fan relationships," attorneys Allen Weitzman and Matthew Menchel wrote in the complaint.
Although it seeks money damages, the lawsuit also could provide a way for MLB to more deeply investigate Biogenesis and Bosch through depositions of witnesses and subpoenas to obtain documents. MLB was rebuffed in an effort to obtain clinic records from the alternative Miami New Times newspaper, which has published detailed accounts of the alleged player drug use.
Among those implicated are New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, outfielder Melky Cabrera of the Toronto Blue Jays, Washington pitcher Gio Gonzalez, Oakland pitcher Bartolo Colon, Texas outfielder Nelson Cruz and San Diego catcher Yasmani Grandal. Most have denied the Biogenesis link, although Rodriguez has admitted using performance-enhancing drugs earlier in his career and Colon, Cabrera and Grandal were each suspended for 50 games last year for testing positive for elevated testosterone levels.
The lawsuit also contends that former star Manny Ramirez, who is now signed to play for a team in Taiwan, obtained a prohibited substance from Bosch in 2009 that ultimately resulted in Ramirez's 50-game suspension by MLB when he was with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The suit marks the first time MLB has gone on the record saying Ramirez tested positive for the female fertility drug HCG, or human chorionic gonadotropin.
Elements of the scheme, according to the lawsuit, including use of fake or partial names on drug packages sent to players, visiting players at home or at hotels to personally administer the banned substances and claims made to the players that if used properly the drugs "would not result in a positive test" under the MLB drug program.
Among the banned drugs supplied, the lawsuit said, are testosterone, human growth hormone and human chorionic gonadotropin. The players were told the drugs would increase their strength and help them recover from injuries more quickly.

McGrady says he'll play against Suns; Battier questionable with foot injury
April 10, 2008
HOUSTON (AP) -Houston Rockets guard Tracy McGrady will play against Phoenix on Friday night after missing Wednesday's game against Seattle with a sore left shoulder.
But team officials said Rockets forward Shane Battier was questionable for the game with a bruised left foot and ankle. Battier played 18 minutes on Wednesday, then sat out most of the second half as the Rockets pulled away for a 103-80 victory.
Houston is 53-25, one-half game ahead of Phoenix in the tight Western Conference standings.
``We'll just see who's available tomorrow,'' said Houston coach Rick Adelman. ``I just have to rely on the medical people and those two guys being truthful and telling us how they feel.''
McGrady initially sprained his shoulder late in Houston's 108-100 win over Sacramento on March 24. He played in Houston's next six games, but had recently started wearing a protective wrap.
He took a painkilling injection on Tuesday, but said he would be ready to play on Friday.
``I've still got some soreness in there, but I will be playing tomorrow,'' he said.
The Rockets have four games left in the regular season and McGrady is concerned now with getting himself healthy for the playoffs. Since hurting his shoulder, he's shot 37 percent from the field (56 of 150), including 6-for-24 from 3-point range.
``I want to be efficient when I'm out there,'' he said. ``This is the time to be on top of your game. My shoulder being the way it is, it's been tough. Hopefully, I can turn it around and not so much worry about my shoulder and have it cause me to shoot so bad.''

Phoenix at Houston (8:30 p.m. EDT). The Suns trail the Rockets and San Antonio by half a game for third place in the Western Conference, and the Lakers by the same margin for first in the Pacific Division.
-Dirk Nowitzki, Mavericks, swished a 3-pointer with 0.9 seconds left, breaking a tie and giving Dallas a 97-94 victory over the Utah Jazz.
-Allen Iverson, Nuggets, scored 33 points in a 114-105 victory over the Golden State Warriors.
Allen Iverson scored 33 points, J.R. Smith added 24 off the bench and the Denver Nuggets took control of the race for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference with a 114-105 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night. The win moved Denver (48-31) a full game ahead of the Warriors in the race for eighth place in the West with only three games remaining. The Nuggets also control the tiebreaker, meaning they can clinch their fifth straight playoff berth by winning two of their final three games.
Dirk Nowitzki swished a 3-pointer with 0.9 seconds left, breaking a tie and giving the Dallas Mavericks a 97-94 victory over the Utah Jazz on Thursday night that also clinched a playoff berth. Dallas got in on the combination of the victory and Golden State losing to Denver. With three games left, the Mavericks have a two-game edge on the Nuggets for the No. 7 seed.
``Everybody knew what was at stake. It's easy for players to say it's just another game. But everybody knows it wasn't just another game. It was a game that both teams felt they had to have.'' - Denver's Allen Iverson, who scored 33 points as the Nuggets took control of the race for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference with a 114-105 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night.

Oddsmakers see MVP in future of Lakers' Bryant
He's strongly favored to beat out New Orleans' Chris Paul for the NBA award.
With the NBA regular season close to an end, supporters of the Lakers' Kobe Bryant should feel good about his chances of winning the league's most-valuable-player award.
That's because Bryant -- still seeking his first NBA regular-season MVP honor -- is considered by Las Vegas oddsmakers as the strong favorite to beat out New Orleans' Chris Paul.
Bryant is given 1-2 odds to end his MVP drought, with Paul listed at 1-1, according to Sportsbetting.com.
So if a Bryant fan bet $100 and won, the fan would get $50 back. A wager of $100 on Paul would pay $100 if the Hornets' point guard took home the honor.
In a way, this is a great rally story for Bryant, who before the NBA All-Star break received his biggest MVP support from in-game chants yelled by nonvoting fans.
But Bryant's stock began to climb after Boston's Kevin Garnett -- regarded as the front-runner to win the MVP award during the first half of the season -- missed a chunk of games because of injury.
Garnett, who has helped Boston earn the league's best overall record this season, has also been hurt by the Celtics' dominant play and blowout wins. After averaging 20.4 points, 11.4 rebounds and 4.4 assists in his career, Garnett's numbers have dropped to 18.9 points, 9.4 rebounds and 3.5 assists this season.
Another plus for Bryant has been the surprising drop in support for Cleveland's LeBron James.
Although James is having the best season of his career and has an opportunity to average 30 points, eight rebounds and eight assists (which would be the first time any player had done that since Michael Jordan in 1998-99), his status has leveled since the All-Star break.
James is listed at 5-1 to win the MVP award, while Garnett is at 8-1.
The only other players in the running are Orlando's Dwight Howard at 30-1 and Phoenix's Steve Nash, who is also listed at 30-1 by Sportsbook.com.
Bryant supporters should note that he also had favorable odds to win the award at this point last season. But in the end, Bryant came up short and Dallas' Dirk Nowitzki was named MVP.

Hashed Brown Potatoes
|Boiling potatoes
|2 Pound, peeled and cut into quarters (6 medium sized)
|1⁄4 Pound, sliced
|2 Tablespoon
|1 Teaspoon
|Freshly ground black pepper
|To Taste
Bring 2 quarts of lightly salted water to a boil in a 4- to 5-quart pot and boil the potatoes uncovered until they can be easily pierced with the tip of a small, sharp knife.
Drain the potatoes in a colander, return to the pan in which they were cooked or put them in a large, dry skillet and shake over moderate heat until they are dry.
Let the potatoes cool, then cut them into small dice.
In a heavy 10- to 12-inch skillet, preferably one with a good nonstick surface, cook the bacon until it has rendered all of its fat and is crisp and brown.
Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Add the butter to the bacon fat and place over moderate heat until the butter melts.
Add the potatoes, and sprinkle them with the salt and a few grindings of black pepper.
Then press the potatoes down firmly into the pan with a spatula.
Cook over moderate heat, shaking the pan occasionally to prevent the potatoes from sticking.
A brown crust should form on the bottom surface of the potatoes in about 20 minutes.
Check by gently lifting the edge of the potatoes with a spatula.
Cook a few minutes longer, raising the heat if necessary to achieve the proper color.
They should be golden brown and crusty.
To serve, cover the skillet with a heated platter and, grasping skillet and plate together, turn them upside down.
The potatoes should fall out easily.

Elvis Andrus signs … but where's Nolan?
Apr 4, 2013, 3:00 PM EDT

It's all speculation about who threw the first punch and who's really being the dick here, but personally, I have always liked Nolan and I'm not going to be happy if its shown that they've neglected to show him his due respect
- miketreedy - Apr 4, 2013 at 4:01 PM
Nolan is a complete bad ass and a Texas legend. He has been a huge part of the Rangers comeback story. He also is largely responsible for creating the plan that has made pitchers become successful in Texas. I really hope the Rangers don't blow this and lose him. It will be like the Cowboys getting rid of Tom Landry.
- youknowwhatsgoodforshoulderpain - Apr 4, 2013 at 4:21 PM
Whoah…I KNOW you didn't just compare the shameless kicking-to-the-curb of one of the greatest coaches and defensive minds of all time to Nolan Ryan getting pissy and leaving.
- miketreedy - Apr 4, 2013 at 7:33 PM
I am talking about the removing of an icon from the team. He's the greatest pitcher the Rangers ever had and who know's where if he hadn't been part of the ownership group that took the Rangers out of bankruptcy. Without Nolan Ryan the Rangers wouldn't have made it to the World Series two years in a row.
BTW- when they take your job and give it to someone else then they are kicking you to the curb.

Boeing urges wider scrutiny of locator beacons
ANA finds damaged beacon wire on 787 July 26, 2013
Lithium batteries: 'It's more than a 787 issue' July 22, 2013
United Airlines and All Nippon Airways last week disclosed issues with the wiring on their Boeing 787's emergency transmitters, the same part of the plane that is getting close scrutiny after a parked Ethiopian Airlines jet caught fire at London's Heathrow earlier this month.
Boeing said its expanded request for inspections follows a recommendation by the U.K. Air Accidents Investigation Branch that airplane models with the Honeywell locator beacons be scrutinized.
"The purpose of these inspections is to gather data to support potential rulemaking by regulators," said Tinseth.
United Airlines said Friday it found a pinched wire during an inspection of one of its six 787s. Japan's All Nippon Airways found damage to wiring on two Boeing 787 locater beacons. It flies 20 of the jets.
The inspections of 787 Dreamliner jets were mandated by the Federal Aviation Administration for U.S. airlines after the fire in the tail of the Ethiopian Airlines 787.
U.K. investigators said the only thing in the tail section with enough power to fuel a fire like that was the emergency transmitter.
Dreamliner jets were grounded worldwide in January after separate problems with lithium-ion batteries that overheated or caught fire. Flights resumed four months later after a revamped battery system was installed in the airplanes.

It's nice to have an app for the times when I'm out and about but without access to an actual radio! It would be cool to have access to the archived shows from the past week through the app like on the website though. Maybe also a feature that would allow you to donate or make a fund drive pledge from the app.

Early in the second period, winger Taylor Pyatt took a high elbow from Columbus defenseman Fedor Tyutin. Pyatt went straight to the locker room, and later in the period Sam Rosen noted that Pyatt will not return to the game. Tyutin received a two minute elbowing penalty.
Missed the first 2 periods only saw the 3rd. I assume by the shot count the Rangers played better in the first 2 periods then the 3rd. At least I hope so, as they sucked in the 3rd. Talbot stood tall and the Blue Jacket couldn't finish.
I never like to see hockey players take shots to the head, as it is not only career ending but also life altering. The league talks about protecting players but in reality unless its very fragrant they turn a blind eye. If the NHL continues to refuse to clamp down on the cheap head shots, the use of goons to protect players will continue.

Milwaukee Rep's 'I Left My Heart' celebrates song more than singer
If you attend "I Left My Heart," the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's season-opening Tony Bennett revue, you won't hear a word about the man who helped liberate a concentrate camp, marched with Martin Luther King Jr. at Selma and became an outspoken opponent of the American invasion of Iraq. Nor will you hear about Bennett's two divorces or former drug addiction.
As the subtitle to the Rep's revue indicates, what co-writers David Grapes and Todd Olson (who also directs) have created is a "salute to the music of Tony Bennett," with an emphasis on the music. »Read Full Article(1)
Crisply executed dialogue elevates 'Understudy'
"All I see are movie stars movie stars movie stars," laments Harry, the journeyman actor in Theresa Rebeck's rollicking "The Understudy," now on stage in a fun Renaissance Theaterworks production that opened Saturday night. "It's like a disease," Harry continues. Or "maybe more like 'pathology.' Or 'ongoing cultural disaster,'" he concludes.
All true enough, if one is keeping track of the numerous Hollywood stars making fools of themselves on Broadway. But as Rebeck's title suggests, Harry is now understudying one of them: an action-movie stud named Jake, himself improbably understudying an even more famous Hollywood co-star. »Read Full Article

Welcome to the inaugural edition of the Minor League Mailbag, with questions submitted by you, the Twitter users, and answers supplied by me, Kate Morrison.
Graham Jenkins (@JenkinsSports)
@unlikelyfanatic Who has been the biggest surprise for Frisco?
It was Martire Garcia, for the week or so that he wasn't suspended for performance altering drugs. Currently? Jake Smolinksi comes to mind. Smolinski is currently hitting .292/.384/.494 with Frisco, and though he's not a top prospect out of nowhere, he could be a very real option as a fourth outfielder or an injury call-up, and one that would offer some sort of versatility.
@unlikelyfanatic should I buy a Rougned Odor shirsey or should I buy two Rougned Odor shirseys?
Three, actually. Everyone knows you need one in every official jersey color. (Real answer? One. When Profar comes back, Odor will have had enough MLB time to prove what he can really do, at age 20. He'll be extremely valuable, and at a position that the Rangers are traditionally very strong in.)
@unlikelyfanatic what do you think of Pro-3B, Andrus-SS, Odor-2B, Beltre-DH in 2015?
As much as it is tempting to try to create a line-up that has Odor, Andrus, Profar and Beltre all in it at once, it's a little difficult. Even with his aging, Beltre will most likely play at least a few games at third next season, and Profar's talents are best used at second, since Andrus is unlikely to be moved from short at any point soon. This leaves no room for the newbie, other than third base, where he has played no professional games, and neither he nor Profar project to have the kind of bat one wants from a third baseman (and Joey Gallo's only two or so years away).
DFW Baseball (@DFWBaseballtown)
@unlikelyfanatic having watched Profar and Odor over the last 2-3 years, which would you pick going forward if you could only have 1?
I've pondered this question for a good three hours, and I can't come up with a satisfactory answer. Profar is an incredible talent. Odor is a great talent, but as much as I've written about him, before the season I might have put him as a (slightly!) lower-level talent than Profar. Now? I don't know. Odor was pushed into a role no one expected him to have and has not just stayed afloat, but has impressed everyone. His glove is getting better, the pop is already visible, he's not scared of MLB pitching, on top of a personality package that shows through the TV to the regular fan. Profar's got all that, too, though, and was the one who won the job in spring training. If/when Profar comes back this season, Odor likely stays up as backup or is optioned to AAA, and next spring training will be where this question is actually answered. Unless, of course, a trade occurs.
Patrick Despain (@PatrickDespain)
@unlikelyfanatic You're JD. You have to call up a pitcher to fill a bullpen role due to injury. Who is it? Same ? for the for rotation.
For the bullpen, Roman Mendez is on the 40-man roster and pitching decently. Matt West has a terrible ERA in AAA so far, but has only allowed three extra base hits (all doubles), so there could be some luck involved in his showing. Miles Mikolas has already been on the major league roster for a day or so, but didn't pitch. He might be a re-call-up option. For the rotation? At this point? There's an argument to be had about balancing the need for an above-replacement-level fill-in against not interrupting the development process of one of the Rangers' top prospects, Luke Jackson. The only problem with that is...there's not really much else in the system. Justin Germano again?
@unlikelyfanatic Is there no hope for WIlmer?
I really have no idea. I've only seen him hit 96 once this season, though I heard he hit it again away from Frisco, but none of his pitches are particularly fantastic. Last appearance, he faced four batters, starting 93-95, but losing command and allowing a walk and a single at 90-93 before being pulled for Jimmy Reyes. It would be one thing if he'd lost velocity but improved in keeping his pitches in the zone, but he's not striking as many people out and though the walks haven't increased, they haven't decreased either. In fact, as of right now, Font has pitched 20.0 innings with Frisco, the same number of innings he pitched with Round Rock last season. In those 20.0 innings, he's walked 10 batters (the same number as 2013), but only struck out 19, seven fewer than he struck out in the same time period in 2013.
Nathan Jennings (@ncjennings9)
@unlikelyfanatic How about your best guess on ETA to majors for Rangers top prospects?
Though Luke Jackson may yet see major league time this season, it's likely that next year is his first real chance at cracking the Rangers' rotation. Nick Williams is hitting better in Myrtle Beach, but struggled to begin the season. He likely spends all of 2014 there, hits Frisco in 2015, and goes from there. Jorge Alfaro has a lot to work on, still, and his power has dipped worryingly in the move from Hickory to Myrtle Beach this season, hitting .257/.307/.397 in 45 games with the Pelicans. If there aren't major improvements, he likely spends all season on the beach as well, which isn't a huge worry as he's still two years under the league average and at a good age for a prospect at that level. Both Mazara and Guzman are picking up a little bit in Hickory, but neither one has been hitting like the prospects they looked last year. Alec Asher and Jerad Eickhoff may not be 'top prospects,' but they're closer to the majors than most, and could make valuable contributions in the future.
Christopher Fittz (@apoplecticfittz)
@unlikelyfanatic Has Jorge Alfaro's receiving skill behind the plate improved at Myrtle Beach?
Alfaro has had 11 passed balls charged to him in 35 games caught this season with Myrtle Beach, and still shows a tendency to drop pitches, even those called for strikes. He has thrown out eight of 27 attempted base stealers, a good rate of 30%. I have heard both good and bad things, and since I haven't seen him personally, I'm not sure how much of them I can give credence to.
@unlikelyfanatic how likely is it for the Rangers to bring up Gallo this year, if Beltre needs rest or gets traded?
Not likely at all. With Kouzmanoff hopefully returning from his back injury in the next month or so, they'll have a backup third baseman again. Gallo's not ready to play third in a major league game, no matter the number of improvements he's made both in the field and at the plate. All of those improvements are still against lower-level pitching, and he'll need to show that he can pick up and hit in AA before it's even really thinkable to consider the majors.
Der Baylor Bar (@DerBaylorBaer)
@unlikelyfanatic When are we going to see Joey Gallo knocking balls out of Rangers Ballpark?
Unless Texas is 25 games out in September and puts him on the expanded roster just for fun because he's absolutely killed AA in the maximum two months he would have been there, 2015 is the earliest Gallo will get a plate appearance in Arlington. 2015 is also when they need to invest in stronger glass for the whatever-club-is-up-in-Home-Run-Porch-now.
@unlikelyfanatic can you just wax on about Gallo for a while? And read the future? If its good, then can you accelerate time?
Joey Gallo has ridiculous power, will be in Frisco soon enough, and will break windows in the AMLI apartment complex that is next to Dr. Pepper Ballpark. He's also shown the ability to make adjustments, play defense, and take pictures with Disney celebrities, all important traits on the road to the big leagues. If I could read the future, I'd be making more money than I am, and if I could accelerate time, it would already be 2015.
@unlikelyfanatic On a scale of 1-puppies and rainbows, how awesome is Joey Gallo?
I will refer you to this tweet: https://twitter.com/scottrlucas/status/471430931807367168
Graham Jenkins (@JenkinsSports)
.@unlikelyfanatic Would you rather abstain from drinking coffee or listen to nothing but Celine Dion songs? #MorrisonMailbag
Abstain from coffee, and that might actually kill me.
.@unlikelyfanatic Non-MiLB related question: Can you please explain string theory?
Well, you see, baseballs are made up of string, and hockey nets are made up of string. That's about all I've got.

Actor Jeong Il-woo has been asked to attend a Chinese awards ceremony as the Korean celebrity guest of honor.
Jeong 's agency confirmed on Friday that Jeong will make his way to Beijing for the 2012 Huading Awards ceremony that recognizes the Chinese public's favorite entertainers. It will be held on July 4 at Beijing Olympic Stadium.
It marks the first time in the seven-year history of the awards that a Hallyu star has been invited to the ceremony.
The awards show had previously focused only on the Chinese entertainment scene, but this year decided to acknowledge the wider Asian entertainment industry.
Award winners were chosen through phone and online surveys on Chinese Web sites, such as Sina.com, Sohu.com and the awards' main site.
His agency said Jeong was invited following the popularity of last year's "Flower Boy Ramyun Shop". The tvN production was No. 1 top among dramas streamed live online in China.

I must admit, I'm still not exactly sure what 'accessories' are when it comes to women's shopping, but apparently they rake in a good deal of dough and are great merchandise lines for celebrity hotties such as Maria Sharapova who launched her own line of accessories at the Henri Bendel store in New York last night.
What I do know about is camera angles, and girls with high hem lines walking about on second floor balconies at events filled with photographers. Well, there's going to be some peeking going on, flash photography style. Not that tennis players aren't quite used to being seen upskirt, though typically not on their dressy evenings out. So this is something of a voyeuristic treat for those of us Sharapova lusters who find the Russian athlete to be one fine female form, even when not grunting, though grunting is highly recommended for the full experience. Enjoy.
