Carlos Zambrano and Mark Buehrle are, in many ways, the alpha and omega of pitching. But the two Chicago aces are joined at the paycheck this season-both potentially in their last in town because their teams allowed them to enter 2007 without having made arrangements for 2008.

If Buehrle leaves there won't be any misunderstanding about the story line. It will be because White Sox Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf was unwilling to pay him the going rate for a pitcher with his track record. It will be because the Sox didn't believe in Buehrle after he went through the roughest stretch of an otherwise smooth career.
Buehrle, after a terrible second half in 2006, entered this season with something to prove. He has reasserted himself in a major way, throwing the White Sox's first no-hitter since 1991 and leading a starting pitching revival on both sides of town.
In the past, Buehrle and Zambrano were almost automatic selections for the Tribune's All-City Team. This year, as it turns out, there are no automatic selections. Suddenly you can dial 312 for outstanding pitching.
The early-season performance of the White Sox and Cubs shows just how dangerous it is to take anything for granted in baseball. Zambrano, who seemed the city's best pitcher, is 4-3 with a 5.13 earned-run average and can't make the team. Neither can most of the hitters who seemed such locks for the Sox.
Picking only five starting pitchers is a tall order, given that both rotations rank in the top five in their league in ERA.
We're calling it Buehrle, Jason Marquis, Rich Hill, Ted Lilly and Jon Garland. You could make a case for the two starters whom the Sox, for reasons of affordability, have elected to build around: Javier Vazquez and Jose Contreras.
The common bond among these guys is they all came into the season with something to prove, if not a chip on their shoulders.
Buehrle regained the velocity that gives him enough separation between his fastball and changeup to keep hitters on their toes. Marquis regained his confidence and command. Lilly thrived in the National League after surviving in the American League. Hill, picking up where he left off late last season, flashed the Barry Zito starter kit. Garland stayed as steady as always, making it even more of a mystery why the White Sox were offering him in trades last winter.
A look around the diamond at the other choices:
At first base: Derrek Lee
Nobody epitomizes the ongoing upgrade of the Cubs more than Lee, who has watched his team become much more athletic since he arrived in a trade before the 2004 season. Health is the only question for the 31-year-old first baseman, who has been leading the NL in hitting for most of the season. His 2006 was ruined by a broken wrist and he has had a scare with his neck already this season. Paul Konerko's slow bat (.191-5-20) has been the biggest problem for a lineup that has been spoiled by his steadying presence.
At second base: Mark DeRosa
While Ryan Theriot is poised to take his job any day now, DeRosa isn't far from the 2006 performance that landed him his three-year contract. His batting average is down, perhaps because he became power-hungry in April, but he has drawn enough walks for a .350 on-base percentage and has been better in the field than some scouts projected. Tadahito Iguchi has regressed in his three seasons as the White Sox second baseman, not making the strides as a hitter that were anticipated.
At shortstop: Juan Uribe
The White Sox figured Uribe would be better after a terrible 2006, and he has been. His arm remains a serious asset in the field and he has been driving in runs when more reliable hitters have failed. Pitchers love having him behind them. Cesar Izturis has played sporadically since the Cubs landed him in the Greg Maddux trade last season. Don't be surprised if Lou Piniella lets him settle in at shortstop, where he upgrades the infield defense.
At third base: Aramis Ramirez

NEW YORK (AP) -- The NHL says it has made a new contract offer to the players in an attempt to end the lockout and save the season. Deputy commissioner Bill Daly says in a statement Friday that a "comprehensive" proposal was made a day earlier, although he would not discuss details. He adds that the league is "hopeful" that once the union and its negotiating committee review the proposal "they will share it with the players. We want to be back on the ice as soon as possible." The lockout is in its 104th day. The NHL says it doesn't want a season of less than 48 games. To make that possible, a deal likely must be reached by mid-January. The sides haven't met face to face since talks with a federal mediator broke down Dec. 13.

Fly fisher's knots
Illustrations of the best knots for your flylines, leaders and tippets
Martin Joergensen
LinksA test in the print magazine Fly Fisherman showed the Trilene and the Orvis knot to be equally strong and on top of that said that they were able to maintain 100% of the line strength. I really have my doubt if that will hold for all types and thicknesses of line, but still it does prove that these could be the knots of choice for the concerned fly fisher. I personally prefer knots that pass the line through the eye twice - like the Trilene and the Palomar knot. My favorite loop knot is the Surgeons loop which is easy to tie and has served me well. If I need a guiding knot, I tie the Mörrum Guiding knot.

Essential Saltwater Flies

|Fly attachment knots
|Palomar knot
A knot that is easy to tie and has a good breaking strength of over 90%. It can be difficult passing the line twice through the hook eye, but pass the tag end though one way first and then back. Then make the loop as small as possible and pass it over the hook. Tighten by first pulling both ends - then the tag end alone.
|Surgeons loop
A loop which can be used to tie on small flies or flies that need to work on the leader. The knot is strong, but the open loop is a bit fragile where the fly wears it, so the knot ought to be inspected and retied regularly. Make sure you do not tie the loop too large as it and the knot has a tendency to grab any material on the fly and lock. This will often lead to a fly swimming backwards...
We have a whole article on te surgeon's knot and loop.
|Duncan loop
The classical loop for flies that need to work freely on the tippet. Fairly easy to tie and can be tightned according to taste.
|Orvis knot
Can form a loop that tightens when under strain. Its strength almost compares to the Trilene knot with a 95% avarage.
|Figure 8 loop
An easy-to-tie loop that leaves the line and eye in a straight line. It is a bit difficult to tighten in a manner that results in a small loop. A too large loop will often catch the fly or some material and leave the fly fishing sideways or backwards. The figure 8 loop is also great for making loops on leader butts and tips and good to use on tippets if you want a loop-to-loop connection between tippet and leader.
|Trilene knot
The breaking strength is very high for this knot; very close to 100% for some lines and diameters and almost always above 90%. Do not cut the tag end too close. The knot has a tendency to untie itself after many casts.
|Mörrum Guiding knot
A guiding knot well suited for up or down eye flies on heavy tippets especially salmon flies. The knot is easy to tie with a good breaking strength. Tighten the loop section first and then work it slowly to a position in under and almost in the hook eye.
The direction of the tippet will be at an angle to the eye, and hence the knot is not suitable for straight eyed hooks. On up- and down eye hooks on the other hand, the tippet will be parallel to the hook shank, and guide the fly nicely in the water.
|Improved clinch knot (not recommended)
This is a very common knot, but even though it seems to look much like the Trilene knot, it's very weak in comparison. Down to 60% breaking strength in some cases. I do not recommend using it.
|Leader knots - mono to mono
|Blood knot
A knot used to tie two monofilaments together, i.e. tippet to leader or two pieces of a knotted leader. The knot is a bit difficult to tie, but can be tied without tools with some practise. It is compact and has a high breaking strength and leaves the line absolutely straight. The number of turns can be varied, but 3-5 turns work well on most lines. Cut the tag ends very close to the knot.
|Surgeon's knot
This knot is normally used to tie two monofilaments together, i.e. tippet to leader. The knot is fast and easy to tie and has a high breaking strength. It does require one side to pass through the loop and is more bulky than the Blood knot. It also leaves a small angle on the line. The number of turns can be varied, but two turns work best on most lines.
|Leader knots - mono to fly line
|Needle knot
An excellent knot for attaching the leader to the fly line. It yeilds a very neat, straight and strong transition between the monofilament leader and coated fly line.
It requires that you pass the mono through the core of the fly line by poking a hole with a needle. Cut the leader at an angle with a pair of scissors to make this process easier. Pull 10 centimeters or 4 inches of leader butt through core and out through a hole in the side of the fly line coating and tie the knot.
PS: I previously named this know a nail knot, which it's not. Sorry.
- Martin
|Nailless nail knot
An fine knot for field attachment of a leader to the fly line. It is almost as straight and strong as the above nail knot, but can fail if the coating is pulled off the fly line core.
The advantage is that it does not require tools other than a line clipper. Lay the butt of the leader along the fly line with about 10 centimeters or 4 inches overlapping. Fold 3/4 of the tag end of the butt back towards the end of the fly line and fold it over and around the whole assembley in 4-6 tight loops close to the end of the fly line, working your way back towards the loop formed by the mono. Hold the loops tightly between your fingers. Pass the mono tag through the loop and moisten the whole knot before tightning the mono. Work the knot slowly together arranging the loops nicely. Tighten by pulling both ends of the mono. Do not pull the fly line before the knot is very tight! Trim the lines as close to the knot as possible and test with a firm pull in fly line and leader.

Might want to check your illustration for the blood knot... the wraps should be opposing. If you are looking "down the line" on one side of the knot, the wrap of the end of the other line should be counter-clockwise, then look at the knot from "down the line" on the other side and the wraps should again be counter-clockwise so that the wraps oppose each other... it is hard to explain.

Wax that sewing needle or dip it in a thread conditioner such as "Thread Heaven". It will slip more easily. Also, in regard to the technique involving pushing the needle through backward, when you make your cut in the side of the flyline, a 20ga hypodermic needle has a very sharp, controllable bevel on it's end that serves well as a tiny knife. The word sharp bears mentioning twice. It will make it very easy to keep your cut the length you want it. It's also the ideal size for cutting down to a splinter in your skin, allowing you to lift it out easily.

Your Trilene knot needs adjusting. When pulled up correctly the loops in the eye of the hook do not cross, but lay side by side. Crossing the loops causes stress at the crossing point and failure at the knot. The trick to drawing the knot up correctly is tightening the knot using the hook shank and lead end to draw it up with minimal pressure on the tag end.

When forming the loop for the surgeons knot, give the loop a half twist before passing the ends through. The tag end or dropper will stand out at exactly 90 degrees to the leader. Stops those pesky weighted nymphs and other flies wrapping around the leader.

About the Needle Knot -- Suggest you try the following method to solve problems of small fly line diameter and needle eyes too small for leader butts. Easier than it sounds, and makes a nice finished knot. Cut fly line off square. Use point of unthreaded needle to start hole up fly line core. Then reverse the needle and work the eye end up into the fly line core about 10 mm. Against the rigidity of the needle inside the line, use a razor blade to make a careful small cut in the outside of the fly line at about 8 mm. Grip point of needle and carefully pull the needle back out of the end of the fly line just past your cut in the side of the line, and then push just the eye of the needle out through the cut. Thread the small end of the leader through the needle, then grip point of needle and pull it out of end of fly line. Pull the entire leader out end of fly line, except for leaving several inches of the leader butt sticking out the side of the fly line. Tie the knot as shown in picture. Many leader butts are too stiff to wrap well in the knot. Cut the butt off at a diameter that will wrap the knot, but not so small that the leader makes a flimsy hinge where it emerges from tip of fly line. Coat uneven spots with flex glue. And there it is !

nail knots are a breeze if you pull the thin end of the leader through first, starting a short distance up the line from the end. Pull through till there is enough of the butt end of the lelader left to make the knot and proceed.

John, I'm not sure if I completely understand what you're trying to do, but I have been using needle knots for a couple of years now and the way I do it is to trim the butt end of the leader to a fine taper with a razor blade, I then thread the tapered end of the leader into the eye of the needle, bend it over to form as little resistance as possible. Then insert the needle into the fly line and pull the needle and leader through the fly line using a small pliers.

I've just spent an hour trying to tie a needle knot, and finally gave up. Clearly, I'm missing something. Is this knot intended for any type of line? I'm trying to use it to attach a 3x tapered leader to a WF 7 line. The tip of the 7 weight line is not much larger than the needle to begin with, and after pulling the needle out the line collapses shut again, and the hole in the side of the line disappears. It seems impossible to shove the (sharpened) butt of the leader up into the line, let alone out through the exit hole. Any advice?

After two years of Fly fishing on the Musgeon River in Michigan for Steelhead I just came to the conclusion last weekend that the reason the fish keep snapping off my tippet is two fold. One is that the "Improved Clinch" that I have been using for over 40 years does suck and that the new Flourocarbon leaders are far superior to the standard nylon tippet. I ran a dozen tests using a new fishing scale and came to the exact conclusion that the "Improved Clinch" may better that an "Unimproved" Clinch but it really does suck and will lose you fish. Thanks for posting this site to give some validation to my personal testing and options for better performing knots. P.S. I am going to try the Orvis out, but will be testing it myself after what I have gone through....Knot that I don't believe you.... Hahaha

Well, its funny to me that so many people seem to love the "nailless nail knot". There is a reason why this knot has been carried down from generations long ago...its a snell knot. And a snell knot is what was used by early fishermen before hooks had "eyes". The nailless knot is just a slight variation of the snell for tying lines together. Its probably one of the oldest and best knots ever.

That nailless nail knot is quite handy! A few weeks ago I took my brand new bamboo rod out to fish for the first time. Stopped and bought a line on the way to meet my friends. Got there, took delivery of reel in the parking lot where we were embarking on our creek trip. I realized that I needed a loop in the end of the line in order to attach my furled leader. The nailless nail knot secured a thoroughly adequate loop that performed well all day and has since been enhanced with some Loon UV Wader Repair.

I have come at fly fishing from a long history of spinning and baitcasting for large freshwater fish. I have always used a Palomar knot, and I carried this into fly fishing. Every once in a while, I carefully tie a clinch knot to see if I should switch to this much easier knot. But, each time it breaks in my hands much easier (I don't even need a scale!). You are only using 60% of your tippet with a clinch knot. Switch from 4x to 6x, use a Palomar, (or other high strength knot) and get more bites!

If I might be so bold as to correct you on your knots. Your first leader to fly-line knot is in fact a needle knot. So called because a needle is used to first penetrate the end of the flyline. Your second knot is in fact a nail knot as a nail is used to take the wraps of nylon. The nail is then gently removed, the tag end is pushed through and the knot tightened. The nail can be used for both knots.

Duncan Loop is good, easy and effective, but once it clinches after a strike it has to be redone or you loose about 50% strenght.

The Orvis knot rocks! I used to use the clinch knot to tie flies on my tippet, but never again! The Orvis knot is easy to tie and fast - I switch flies more often now if there's no action.

I tested out some of these knots, and the Palomar and Orvis knots did seem to be better than the cinch. However, I had extreme difficulties in tying these two knots when using very small tippet.

I use the improved clinch knot! Have been for over 40 years. It has served me well. I will use tomorrow on my splendid local stream. Those who dislike this knot may not be tying it correctly. A possibility!

GLAAD Urges N.Y. Gov. to Help Trans New Yorkers Get Needed Health Care
BY Jase Peeples
November 15 2013 2:08 PM ET
Many health insurance policies and programs specifically exclude trans and gender-nonconforming people from accessing the health care they need, including New York State Medicaid.
That's why GLAAD and the Sylvia Rivera Law Project are urging people to call upon New York governor Andrew Cuomo and New York State health commissioner Nirav Shah to overturn New York State Medicaid's regulation that excludes trans people from receiving care just because of who they are.
"Transgender healthcare isn't special healthcare. It's regular healthcare that non-trans people receive every day when they need it," GLAAD states on its website. Transgender health treatments are safe, effective and medically necessary for many transgender people. Unfortunately, healthcare is often denied to trans people due to misinformation and bias. By repealing the exclusionary regulation, Gov. Cuomo and Health Commissioner Shah can ensure that transgender people receiving Medicaid have the same access to essential care as anyone else."
To help further education and call for the repeal of New York State Medicaid's trans-excluding regulation, GLAAD and the Sylvia Rivera Law Project have produced an informative new video that outlines the health care needs and of transgender and gender-nonconforming people and the unnecessary obstacles they face in accessing basic care.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 11/24/12
The Minnesota Vikings have declared wide receiver Percy Harvin out of Sunday's game at Chicago because of his sprained left ankle. Harvin was listed doubtful on Friday after missing another week of practice, and the team downgraded him to out on the injury report Saturday while deciding not to take him on the trip so he can continue to rest. Harvin was hurt Nov. 4 at Seattle and missed the Nov. 11 game against Detroit. The Vikings had a bye last week. Harvin is tied for 10th in the NFL with 62 receptions. He entered the week second in the league behind Green Bay's Randall Cobb in total yards, including receiving, rushing and returning.

Get an alert when we add new styles of Under Armour! Simply sign up and we'll notify you.
Kevin Plank, a former University of Maryland football player, founded Under Armour® in 1996. Along with co-founder and former teammate Jordan Lindgren, Plank began the business in his grandmother's basement in Washington, DC. Today, Under Armour is recognized as the originator of performance apparel -- gear engineered to keep athletes cool, dry, and light throughout the course of a game, practice, or workout.
As a player, Plank got tired of having to change out of the sweat-soaked T-shirts he wore under his jersey, but he noticed that his compression shorts stayed dry. This was Plank's inspiration to make a superior T-shirt that would provide compression and wick perspiration off an athlete's skin, rather than absorb it.
Under Armour performance apparel is designed to work with an athlete's body to regulate temperature and enhance performance. Advanced innovation has allowed the company to expand its product line to include training gear for athletes of all types. In addition to the signature shortsleeve T's, compression T's, and tech T's, Under Armour produces running shorts, workout pants, tank tops, compression shorts, capri pants, hoodies, and lightweight jackets. Under Armour products are catered to both men and women, including the popular "Escape" and "Catalyst" clothing lines.
The engineering behind Under Armour's famous moisture-wicking technology is complex, but that hasn't stopped athletes around the world from embracing the company's gear and apparel. "Heatgear" and "Coldgear" are specially-designed product lines that allow athletes to maintain top performance, regardless of weather conditions. Under Armour has established itself as an industry leader in workout clothes, yet the company continues to strive forward under the mission of providing technically advanced products engineered with superior fabric construction, exclusive moisture management, and proven innovation.

The Cameras Must Stay On: Censorship, Jafar Panahi, and This Is Not a Film
Matt Levine
Jun 2012
Officially directed by Mojtaba Mirtahmasb—and unofficially by Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi—This Is Not a Film follows a harsh legislative decision that effectively banned Panahi from making movies for 20 years after he was convicted of conspiring against the state. He and Mirtahmasb set out to turn the sentence inside out, obeying the letter of the law in order to implicitly denounce its spirit.
Why Food Now?
Susy Bielak & Sara Nichol
Jun 2012
With the launch of Kitchen Lab—an exploration of the home hearth and how the role of kitchens can be reconceived—Open Field artists Betsy and Carl DiSalvo discuss food culture with the Walker's Susy Bielak and Sara Nichol. First topic: Why the recent upsurge in art, consumerism, and activism surrounding food?
Eve Sussman's Cinematic World Without End
Kathie Smith
Jun 2012
Equal parts sci-fi, noir, and formalist structure, Eve Sussman's new multifaceted film embraces two creative touchstones: the first is the protean symbol of the Russian Cosmodrome, and the second is its namesake, Malevich's painting White on White. Mining a surreal post-Soviet ambience, the result is a calculated, never-ending fever dream caught in a forgotten corner of the Earth.
Journeys of the 25th Hour
Minouk Lim
Jun 2012
Minouk Lim engages with the arteries of city life—the streets—to create poignant artworks that speak to individual alienation amid Seoul's rapid development. Merging performance, video, and documentary, Lim says works in her Walker exhibition are "pilgrimages to places left out of our memory, journeys of the 25th hour."

Among Ash-Heaps and Millionaires
Ruben Nusz
May 2012
Ruben Nusz's contributions to the exhibition Lifelike are easy to overlook: 20 sculpted ashtrays—created using acrylic, oil, tea, and walnut ink on wax and resin, with incense and ashes—discreetly placed throughout the Walker's public spaces and its administrative offices. Here he shares his notes on the project, which he considers "fictitious realism."
Members Talk Museums
May 2012
In May 2012, some 600 museums throughout the state joined together to highlight their contributions to communities from Jackson, home of the Olson-Slaabakken Cabin, to the Twin Cities, whose wealth of museums help make it a national cultural capital. To mark the debut of Minnesota Museums Month, we asked a group of Walker members to share their stories and insights about museums of all kinds. Sheila…

Julie Caniglia

In the process, it's bringing artists to the fore, and developing a sustainable alternative to traditional, big-money revitalization efforts.
Cinema Renovation Pushes the Future, Preserves the Past
Kathie Smith
Apr 2012
The cinematic experience is in turmoil, caught between the push to the future—an industry-wide switch to all-digital projection—and the pull of the past. The Walker Cinema's renovation allows us to play it both ways: advancing the art of film, while also showcasing its rich history.

Well lets see... I have a very outgoing...
Well lets see... I have a very outgoing personality and a positive demeanor. I believe that no matter where you are in your life, or what you have done in your past, that you can become the person you have always wished you were. It might take some hard work, discipline, and a little help from Jesus, but I've been learning first hand that its possible. I'm not saying I'm there yet, but I definitely know where I'm headed :) I've got a great job that I probably don't deserve, but I'm going to keep it anyway. Haha. I sell lifting equipment and services to offshore drilling, construction, refining, and pipeline companies, and anyone else who wants to buy it. I've been blessed to have some great mentors throughout my career, who have helped me get to where I am. I'm big on continuous improvement and I enjoy reading books about business philosophy and sales techniques. The Aggie ring has helped too ;) Gigem! My faith is very important to me. I'm by no means an angel, but I'm definitely better than I used to be. Haha. I have been going to church for about four years now, and I try to apply what I hear on Sunday to my daily life. I've found that its absolutely essential that whoever I am dating, has a heart for God. If not, it won't work out, no matter how hard we try. I learned this the hard way, so I won't be making that mistake again. Continuous improvement right! I love sports. Football is my favorite. I won three fantasy football leagues this year! Does that make me a nerd? I like to play golf, even though I kind of suck at it (my short game needs work). I love offshore fishing. So much so that I bought a boat a few years ago after my first guided trip. Unfortunately I didn't realize that not having a guide with you to do all of the important stuff, like knowing where to go, rig the ballyhoo, tie a knot, and fix things that stop working, was kind of important. Now I pretty much just use it to hang out around Clear Lake on the weekends in the spring and summer. So if you want to work on your tan I'm your guy! Lol. I'm up for pretty much anything socially. I'm happy just hanging out cooking dinner and watching movies or going out on the town. I've just revamped the wardrobe so I'm ready to throw on a sport coat and tie at the drop of a hat - haha. Which reminds me, if shopping is your thing - I can hold my own. I've also been known to enjoy a pedicure or two but don't tell anyone. I wouldn't want to tarnish my rep. Family is important to me and I have a great one. My parents are still married. I'm the oldest and my brother and sister are both attorneys. So if you get injured on the boat I'm covered ;) And that's my nephew if one of my photos - he's cute right? Good genes ;) Anyway, that should be enough information for you to get an idea of whether or not you could stomach the idea of meeting up with me in a well lit, public place. If not feel free to put me through the ringer - I'm game. Oh and Happy New Year! 2015 is going to be awesome!!! I'm Jordan :)

We the Tree People (4 acres and 6 more coming soon) are Occupying the land around the Indigenous Way (Formerly known as Broadway) offramp from 580 which is 175 days and counting. The reason we took it over was first it is an Indigenous Burial site and that is why the Powers at be (United Snakes of Amerikkklan) put their Patriarchal (Matrix) oppression on Sacred Sites. Especially right here in Oakland putting Auto Row (which is an assault on our Mother Earth) right at the Broad(Broad an insulting term in referring to women) way Exit. So we are changing Broad way into Indigenous Way and in the near future honoring women in different areas of that street. Please in the future refer to that street as Indigenous way or a women that you admire in history or still with us (People) fighting.

Jerricho Cotchery says he enjoys the ''family business'' approach the Pittsburgh Steelers take with their players, and has no regrets about how his tenure with the New York Jets ended last summer. The veteran wide receiver spent his first seven NFL seasons with the Jets, but was cut last year in a move coach Rex Ryan said at the time Cotchery requested. Cotchery, in a conference call Wednesday with New York-area reporters, says he doesn't think ''anyone really knows everything that transpired between myself and the Jets,'' but didn't elaborate. Cotchery signed with Pittsburgh after being cut, and acknowledged that he spoke to the Jets about a return this offseason as a free agent, but says ''I wouldn't necessarily say it was close.''

New films have also been commissioned from directors Mike Leigh, Lynne Ramsay and the duo of Max Giwa and Dania Pasquini. The Olympic film program announced Friday also includes a rerelease of ''Chariots of Fire,'' a 1981 tale of British triumph at the 1924 Games that won four Academy Awards. The films will play across Britain this summer as part of the London 2012 arts festival. The Olympics run July 27-Aug. 12.

The Chariot was also influenced by the design of the sturdy little Mars Rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, which are still going four years later.
"We learned from the Mars rovers that six wheels are better than four. If one wheel fails you can lift it up still keep going on the other five. When you are on the moon it's not going to be as easy to change a spare tire," Junkin said. "We will have to do that from time to time but it is nice to have redundancy so you don't have to pull off to the side of the road and do maintenance."
During the Apollo 17 mission, Schmitt wrote in his journal from the southeastern edge of Mare Serenitatis in the Valley of Taurus-Littrow.
"For 75 hours, Gene Cernan and I lived and worked in the valley, performing extensive geological studies of the volcanic rocks that partially fill the valley," he said.
"In our explorations of the valley, we drove the Rover about 35 kilometers, collected and documented over 110 kilograms of moon rocks and soils, and took over 2,400 photographs."
What extras would Schmitt add to the rover? No cup holder but possibly a ski rack. "In one-sixth gravity you spend some time off the surface. It was like skiing. An astronaut using the skiing technique in a good suit could go that fast and keep up with the rover. Cross-country skiing will be the recreation of choice on the moon."

text: WHAT HAPPENED TO MAIL: This morning, August 21, a mail-loop resulted in the exhaustion of disk space in the partition holding the mail spool. The POP server did something strange and made all of the spool files that were accessed via POP during this interval into 540MB files; consisting mostly of NULLS. There were approximately 260 users mail spool files affected in this manner. This is possible despite the total partition size being 2GB because Unix allows files to have "holes" that don't actually have disk blocks assigned and are filled with NULLS. Exactly why the POP client misbehaved in this manner when disk space was exhausted, I can't say. However; if someone tried to access a spool file in that state; it would essentially stop the machine. SHORT TERM FIX: So I have moved all the affected spool files to a seperate directory and wrote a small program to remove the nulls and when it finishes with each user it will put the recovered messages back in your mail spool. At the rate it is processing, this will take approximately 16 hours to complete. There were about 14 files that I accidentally blitzed when getting this going and those are unrecoverable; but the majority will be recovered sometime this evening. LONG TERM FIX: I do have some plans for addressing this in long term that also address some security and speed and load concerns. This involves putting the mail spool, ftp files; and user directories on a dedicated file server. There are numerous reasons for doing this but by putting them all on one machine; quotas can be enforced across all of these things; and that will prevent a mail loop like the one we experienced this morning from exhausting all resources. Other reasons include; by having stripping the partitions across multiple drives disk I/O performance can be enhanced. By using one large stripped partition, a lot of unnecessary disk I/O involving moving data between various partitions can be eliminated. It will simplify the complexity of NFS mounts between machines considerably. The file system won't be exported root; this will provide better security for user files. The file server won't be doing anything else; it should thus be possible to provide a stable server for this function eliminating a lot of system-wide outages. With eskimo and mail exporting files; both of which do a lot of other things; when either crash it essentially locks up most other things. It will remove NFS load from mail, eskimo, and ftp. The NFS load on mail and eskimo is considerable and taking this load off will enhance performance significantly. It will also provide faster web page serving. It will make it possible to write backups and recover files without loading servers that run user applications thus reducing the impact those activities have on normal system operations.

'Sad to see Ricky Hatton lose'
It was sad to see Ricky Hatton stopped but it was the best result for him, says Johnny Nelson.
Last Updated: 27/11/12 9:31am
Ricky proved two things with this fight.
The first was that he's still the biggest draw in British boxing. Even ahead of this fight, when nobody knew who the opponent was going to be, he still sold 19,000 tickets in 48 hours. That's a great feat for anybody.
The atmosphere at the Manchester Arena was second to none; it was amazing. That must have been a lot of pressure for Ricky, but it would also have given him a great lift that so many people were there to support him.
However, the second thing the fight proved was that he can't fight at that level anymore. It was sad to see after two or three rounds the timing wasn't there; the instinct, the movement, the fluency and that snap he used to have wasn't there anymore.
If Ricky had scraped through and got to the end of that fight he might have put it down to ring rust, blamed it on his time out of the ring and boxed on.
But imagine him boxing Paulie Malignaggi, who he's already beaten. Paulie would probably have beaten him. Imagine him fighting Amir Khan or Kell Brook. These guys would have beaten him.
That's where the problem is. If he was heartbroken after the Manny Pacquiao fight he would definitely have been heartbroken losing to any of those three.
But, with that defeat, he's still got his pride. This fight wasn't about the money, everyone knows that, it was about redemption for Ricky himself.
He lost so much weight and fought a guy who'd only lost one fight to a guy who became world champion. He could have stepped in for a soft touch, an easy fight, but he didn't. He put the work in and believed he could return to that level.
I have to give it to Ricky but it brought a few tears to a lot of grown men's eyes seeing that happen. It's such a shame because we're not going to see anyone who can pack them out like he can for quite a while.
He now needs to sit back and somehow get his mind round what's happened and take some positives out of it. He can still pack them out after being out three and a half years and he knows that he's still loved and still respected.
I don't think the defeat has tarnished his record, either. Yes, before Senchenko he'd only lost to the best, Floyd Mayweather and Pacquiao, but this fight came at the back end of his career after a three and a half year absence.
Yes, he got stopped by a guy who isn't a big puncher with a body shot but that doesn't detract from what Ricky Hatton's done because he's given a lot of people some great memories in this country.
It just means he can't turn back time. Father Time came up on him and he can't be what he was. It doesn't mean everything he did in the past was nothing.
He was open, vulnerable and the timing wasn't there. But, no disrespect to Ricky, he's just not the fighter he was, that's all it means.
Hopefully it will give him closure to move on. When he lost to Pacquiao he thought he had a lot more left to offer. Now we know he hasn't anymore.
He thought he had a winning lottery ticket to cash but on Saturday night he realised the numbers were wrong.

My family and I recently stayed at Giuseppe's apartment and it was fantastic. The flat is exactly as shown in the pictures, is nice and clean and warm and has everything you need including washing machine, kitchenette, wifi, all linen and towels even a hairdryer!!. The location is absolutely fantastic right on top of the ha'penny bridge so close to all attractions and shops etc. of course this comes with one drawback in that you can hear some noise from temple bar in the early hours but my 6 and 4 yr old never woke to any noise. Giuseppe was great in communicating about access to the flat and very accommodating with our change in plans. When we arrived we were met promptly by his colleague and later Patrick who showed us what we needed to know and gave advice about where to shop etc which was greatly appreciated. I would definitely recommend staying here especially if you have never been to Dublin before as it is so central to everything and the Mexican cafe around the corner is amazing! thanks for having us Giuseppe we really appreciate it.
Location of the aparment is excellent and views are really nice. Beds are ok and comfortable. Apartment was clean and there were plenty of towels available. Cosy apartment and really ok for 4 persons. Internet (wlan) and TV worked perfectly. Shower is ok and with the spoiler there is plenty of hot water available. Kitchen is ok and compact, but some more dishes would be great. Of course during the evening there will be some noise coming from the street or Temple bar district. Apartment might get warm during the summer months, at least we kept windows open to cool it down.
We had great stay in Dublin at Guiseppe's apartment. It was perfectly located with all the amenities you need. Check-in was a breeze - absolutely no problems. We would highly recommend this location to anyone wanting to visit Dublin!
Everything as advertised.
Great spot from where you can walk around Dublin. Clean and well maintained. Pablo was awesome dealing with unforeseen events!
La casa tiene muy buena situación ya que está en el centro de Dublín y todo queda cerca. La calle puede ser un poco ruidosa dependiendo de las horas. Las camas, tanto la cama de matrimonio como el sofá cama, son cómodas. La limpieza de la cocina podría mejorar pero está equipada con lo básico para unos días. El sistema de calefacción es bueno así que, aunque hizo frío los días que estuvimos, se estaba bien. En el apartamento hay mapas y guías para consultar.

Does anyone here in the States have a subscription or know how I could get one? Getting them new at the book store is a bit expensive (yes, I'm whining about 10 bucks) and I'd really like to just get them at home.
Thanks in advance.
Mods, I didn't quite know where to put this post. If it belongs somewhere else, please move it there. Thanks.
Most bike magazines in the U.S. suck. It's all about the latest and greatest with no actual tech stuff. Every mod article is who they took the bike to and what they had bolted on. I still subscribe to Cycle World and Motorcyclists mostly due to low price but for some of the columns and occasional interesting article. They're almost "once and done" when it comes to going through them and reading them. The hot rod/truck stuff has me going back to look at what they did - even though I will never likely do anything like it. I just find it interesting.
I started reading Hot Rod again along with Popular Hot Rodding, Streetrod and Classic Truck to get my gear head fix. I can't afford that stuff.
I wish there was someone
(if only I could win a lottery)
who would put out a tech magazine that actually showed some real mods. Back in the 80s DirtBike! and others actually told you how to do things. Like utting up the frame to forward mount the upper shock mount as well as how to set up forward mounts on the swingarm. The litigious nature of the U.S. kind of cut that stuff out along with bikes that are already done to the nines.
Ever get lost?
You know, that good kind of lost - come to a dirt road intersection and you have no idea where you are or which way to turn?
I like when that happens!

It took more than three months, five attempts, a new coach and even a clip from the movie "Rocky II," but the Indiana Pacers finally know what it feels like to win three straight games.
The Pacers used a blue-collar approach to beat the Portland Trail Blazers 100-87 on Friday night at Conseco Fieldhouse.
"I'm very, very proud of our guys," Pacers interim coach Frank Vogel said. "We're changing the identity of our basketball team dramatically. We're a power-post team, blood and guts, old-school-smash-mouth team." ...
