Is This the Right Way to Return to the Moon?
Glenn Harlan Reynolds: I wonder, then, if the money wouldn't be better spent on things that have a higher likelihood of delivering those, like space elevators. As I mentioned in an earlier column, space elevator technology promises drastically reduced costs to orbit (from which, as Robert Heinlein famously observed, you're halfway to anywhere in the solar system in terms of energy) and it looks as if we could build a working space elevator -- or several -- within the $100 billion pricetag and over the same time frame.
(Ed.'s note: New Nanotechnology Now readers may not realize that carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are a key feature in building the space elevator. Recent developments in very promising technologies to mass-produce CNT ribbons hint at the toppling of another obstacle in the construction of the Space Elevator. All things considered, it looks likely that the Space Elevator could soon be off the "science fiction" list and become the most cost-effective method of leaving the gravity well.)

Sunshine, yeah!

It is now 3:30, the tour is finished, we've spent money, and now we're on our way to Tipton, MO to visit the Dutch Bakery, AGAIN. That Amish bread will pull you in every time. Guess we should have purchased more the first time! Oh, and found out why the Tipton water tower is painted like a cue ball, they used to make them in Tipton. When ...

Today was the wine tour we decided to go on. But guess I'd better start at the beginning.
Got up today determined to eat a small breakfast, so I had a bowl of Grape Nuts with 1/2 a peach. Not bad, but then I made the mistake of making a cup of coffee to drink while I walked over to the gathering site for the tour. Unfortunately, I went into the hall and there were donuts, donuts, and more donuts. I only had one, but that ruined my good intentions!
We boarded the bus and ...

It's dawning on us that we really are doing this in just a month. I keep googling "TMB fitness level" hoping to find reassurance that my daily flat walks to and from work are somehow preparing me for mountain trekking. Google has not offered much reassurance as of yet.
Tonight Mike is reading our guidebook and I'm testing Travelpod.
Work was the same as usual, scan a book, shelve a book. Lunch was pretty good, sandwich, chips and an apple. The afternoon was a long four hours, full of lies and deceit. Sweltering heat finally got to me at about two o'clock but I knew I only had an hour left so I pushed through it. When that final bell sang out it was like music to my ears, a sweet serenade. ...

As if Tom Brady hasn't had a hard-enough start to the month after losing the Super Bowl this past Sunday…he now has to deal with the fact that his little sister Julie is marrying a hot-head with a weird last name, also known as Red Sox first baseman Kevin Youkilis.
Boy, Thanksgiving is going to be very interesting at the Brady household!
According to the Herald's Inside Track, Youk popped the question recently.
Youk and Julie spent Super Bowl week together, and have been dating for more than a year. While no one spotted Youk all week, the slugger was actually in Brady's family luxury box for the game.
Julie already has a 5-year-old daughter, and the two will be moving in with Youk on the West Coast before Spring Training.
They will likely marry somewhere on the West Coast in the offseason.

(By Mani) Despite an uninspiring macroeconomic environment in 2012, it's been a solid year for lodging stocks. Lodging fundamentals held up nicely following a strong 2011 as the sector continues to benefit from the meaningful supply/demand disconnect.
Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. (NYSE: HOT) is one of the best lodging ideas for 2013, driven by easier European comparisons, strong balance sheet, continued operating leverage in the owned portfolio and a rebound in China operations.
"We believe recent momentum in HOT shares is likely to carry into 2013 when we expect overly conservative concerns about HOT's European and China exposure to mitigate," Deutsche Bank analyst Carlo Santarelli said in a client note.
[Related -How To Supply Your Portfolio With Outperforming Stocks]
In addition, global macroeconomic continue to reflect in shares at current levels, underestimating the company's high end skew and brand power domestically. Macro concerns have effectively lowered the bar for 2013 RevPAR performance and investors continue to lack appreciation of the strides HOT has taken to reduce funding costs, monetize real estate, and improve the quality of the balance sheet.
"We expect HOT to take incremental steps toward an asset-light model while low interest rates remain available to hotel buyers," Santarelli noted.
Moreover, the market is anticipating more meaningful asset sales as transaction valuations remain well above current trading multiples thereby providing ample capital for brand growth and other shareholder friendly options.
[Related -Stock Upgrades And Downgrades: ATW, DO, DVN, FLEX, FDS, HOT, HPQ, STX]
Meanwhile, HOT shares would benefit from the company's luxury and upper upscale segmentation and exposure to domestic urban markets, coupled with a recovery from overly negative sentiment around the impact of slowing growth in China and fiscal problems in Europe.
An under-appreciated owned portfolio that is believe to be considerably undervalued at present also bodes well for the stock.
The company also boasts of a sound and flexible balance sheet being made stronger by recent hotel sales, condo sales at Bal Harbour, and a large debt refinancing, and strong domestic corporate profitability.
Starwood Hotels & Resorts is one of the leading hotel and leisure companies in the world with 1,128 properties in nearly 100 countries and approximately 154,000 employees at its owned and managed properties.
Starwood is a fully integrated owner, operator and franchiser of hotels, resorts and residences with the following internationally renowned brands such as St. Regis, The Luxury Collection, W, Westin, Le Méridien and Sheraton,

Part of almond attractiveness is the application of mechanical technology. Farm robots and simpler machines have been improving rapidly in recent years, from hand-like pickers to milk robots to take care of the cows.
Actually, the mechanical almond picker shown in the video below doesn't look that high-tech compared with some of the new gizmos.
The important point of the increased mechanization is the reduction of jobs, particularly for illegal aliens who account for many of the picker workforce. The good news is the reduced need for foreign workers; the bad news is Washington's disregard for facts deemed inconvenient. Clearly advances in farm robotics lessen the need for foreign workers in the fields, just as in every other area of employment in America.
Almond boom has downside in fewer farm jobs, less crop diversity, Merced Sun-Star, September 27, 2014
The remarkable expansion of almond orchards in Stanislaus County has been an economic boom for growers, but it's come at a price: fewer farm jobs and less crop diversity.
Literally millions of almond trees have been planted in the county during the past decade. Stanislaus agriculture officials calculate 160,200 acres of almonds were harvested last year, which is about double the acreage harvested 15 years ago.
Thousands of additional acres of almonds are being harvested for the first time this fall.
While many of those are new trees now growing on what had been non-irrigated pastures on the county's east side, others have replaced once-coveted fruit trees, tomato fields, vegetable farms and dairies.
[. . .]
'Less stress' with almonds
"There was a time when you made more money growing a cling peach than an almond. That's not the case anymore," said Paul Van Konynenburg. His Stanislaus farming operation, Britton Konynenburg Partners, grows 1,100 acres of apples, cherries, apricots and peaches.
But Van Konynenburg said he'll soon start planting some almond trees. Besides providing a higher return on investment per acre, he said, there's "absolutely less stress … less headaches and less heartaches" growing almonds than growing fruit.
That's particularly true because there are fewer labor issues to deal with in almond orchards. For one thing, Van Konynenburg said, farmworkers are "hard to come by" during the fruit harvest season.
"All our fruits are very labor-intensive," he explained. At the peak of harvest, between his farm's hired hands and contract laborers, "over 400 people are working" on his 1,100 acres west of Modesto.
Compare that with Trinitas Partners, which has more than 7,000 acres of almonds outside Oakdale. This season, Trinitas employed about 70 full-time and 100 seasonal workers. The Oakdale almond grower managed six times as much acreage with fewer than half as many farmworkers as the Modesto fruit grower.
"It's not like back in the old days" when farm laborers did all the almond pruning, knocking and raking by hand, said Guadalupe Sandoval, who grew up in Riverbank. "My parents did that work back in the 1950s and 1960s."
Almonds these days are mechanically harvested. The old joke about why farmers pronounce the word "almond" like they do – "because they have to knock the 'l' out of them during harvest" – has been modified, with the word "shake" replacing "knock."
Machines shake trees, sweep up nuts, prune branches and spray chemicals in modern almond orchards.
"What used to take hundreds of workers is being done by machines now," said Sandoval, who is managing director for the California Farm Labor Contractor Association. "I wish I could say (those machine operators) are making significantly more money (than hand laborers), but I don't think they are." Continue reading this article

The answer was as predictable as the question.
"No," said Adrian Beltre when broached with the query regarding if he ever thought about what might have been if he remained a Red Sox," because that never happened. I live my life now. Obviously I enjoyed my time here, but after the [2010] season we talked, there were offers, and it never got to anything. They traded for Adrian Gonzalez and that was that."
But, as Wednesday night reminded all in attendance at Fenway Park for the Rangers' 3-2 win over the Red Sox, it sure seems like that would have been the best course of action for a team that found itself trading both of its corner infield solutions [Gonzalez and Kevin Youkilis] before the completion of the second season of Beltre's five-year deal with Texas.
"Who knows?" he said, walking out of the visitors clubhouse.
In case people forgot what the Red Sox had in Beltre when he spent that one season here in '10, the third baseman offered a healthy reminder Wednesday night. Not only did he clock a solo homer -- his 80th as a member of the Rangers (second-most of any third baseman since the beginning of '11) -- but he also exhibited the attribute that perhaps defines his existence best.
Once again, he was the toughest player on the field.
"He's the heartbeat of this team," said Rangers, and former Red Sox, hitting coach Dave Magadan. "He missed a couple of games and had a little tight hamstring. He can play with that type of stuff. He knows his body so well, he can play with injuries like that playing 70-80 percent and can still help us win games. I've never seen anything like it.
"He's probably the toughest player I've ever been around. His ability to play with injuries is unlike anybody I've ever seen. He has an unbelievable body awareness."
In some respects, it isn't fair to simply point to the fact Beltre's .903 OPS since leaving Boston, or that the Rangers have the second-best OPS at the third base position over the past three seasons while the Red Sox stand at 11th. At the time of the departure, when the Sox chose to trade for Gonzalez while shifting Youkilis to third, few took issue with the move.
Sure, Beltre had hit .321with a .919 OPS to go along with 28 homers in his one year with the Red Sox. But in his five preivous years with Seattle, the third baseman had hit a combined .266 with a .759 OPS. And Gonzalez? He was coming off four straight seasons of totaling160 or more games while totaling 30 or more home runs with a combined .894 OPS.
And there were the concerns regarding Beltre's body. Everybody knew he was tough, but was he too tough for his own good?
Even with the Red Sox, the third baseman had played through the kind of injuries most would have shut it down for. For instance, one time after fouling a ball of his left leg just moments after Youkilis exited the game with a foot injury, Beltre remained in the game, later saying, "It isn't broken, and if isn't broken it isn't a problem. You play through something like that and three or four days later you're OK."
He had executed this resiliency for the entirety of his career, especially when it came to those hamstring injuries. He first started tearing the left hamstring up in 2000, and hasn't stopped, with the recent days offering the latest incident. "Some days my hamstring was so bad I couldn't even walk. Sometimes it hurts to jog. Especially some day games, when you get up in the morning and they are just killing me. I've always had hamstring problems, especially on the left side … I've learned how to play through it every year. … The first few weeks my hamstrings are free but after that I have to deal with it."
At the time of Beltre's agreement with the Rangers, plenty around baseball questioned the ability of the then-31-year-old's to hold up for the life of the contract. And there have been continued to be those nagging hamstring issues. But the toughness he first learned while engaging in a Little League fight as an 11-year-old ("I still have a bone bruise on the outside of my hand (from the altercation)," he once said), continues to serve him well.
Not only does he continue to play in pain, but he consistently manages to inflict agony on the opposition while doing so.
"He's incredible," Magadan said. "I've never seen anything like it. He has unbelievable body control, but the desire to play when you're injured like that. It's easy to say, 'I'll spend two weeks on the DL, get better …' He's not like that."
And while Beltre won't go down the road of contemplating what might have been, it's easy -- especially after Wednesday -- for Red Sox fans to let their minds wander.
Along with the obvious three-year production at the position, there is also the stability that left with the departure of Beltre (and Victor Martinez) that might have reeled in an organization unraveling that began in late '11.
"Hindsight is 20-20, but he was a helluva player for us," Magadan said. "We had a couple of guys like that. We had Victor. To have both those guys on the same team was a pretty special combination."
You can continue to play the game: If the Red Sox do keep Beltre and Martinez, ultimately there is no Allen Webster, Rubby De La Rosa and, probably, David Ortiz (with Martinez most likely sliding into the designated hitters spot). The scenarios don't stop there, with one move leading to another, leading to another. (Including the Red Sox eventually gettting Jackie Bradley Jr. with the compensation draft pick siphoned when Beltre signed with Texas.)
But, if nothing else, what Beltre's return to town should do is offer a reminder: this guy was, and is, one unique player.
"Adrian," said Magadan, "is one of a kind."

Former Rep. Paul Kanjorski may have been a victim of the November electoral "shellacking" handed out to him and his fellow Democrats, but in his mind he took one big prize down with him: JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon.

Leaders are defined by the choices they make and how they react in moments of crisis. Clearly, in this instance, the management of these companies looked at their bottom line and were blinded by greed and stupidity and did not do their due diligence in assessing and analyzing risk.

On Friday, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke dismissed the possibility that the central bank would intervene in the municipal credit markets.

The comes according to a story in Friday's Wall Street Journal.
According to the Journal, the rationale for the policy of nonintervention is the following:
Credit Suisse announced this morning that more of its bankers will be paid using deferred bonuses—essentially paying bonuses in stock rather than cash.
Prior to two years ago, deferred bonuses were paid only to bankers earning more than $125,000 in bonus compensation; that threshold was then lowered to 50,000 Swiss francs- or a little over $50,000 U.S. Now, 35 to 70 percent of bonuses will be paid in deferred compensation- compared to 15 to 60 percent from earlier years.

Sedona and Flagstaff "Open for Business"
Not only is the Slide Fire burning thousands of acres of beautiful Arizona land, it could certainly affect tourism in Flagstaff and Sedona for Memorial Day weekend.

The fire, at 7,500 acres, is burning between the two cities, near Slide Rock State Park.
"Sedona is open for business and we can assure you that the fire shouldn't have many impacts your stay," Chamber of Commerce CEO says in the statement.
The statement encourages people to check out the live webcam of Sedona:

According to the chamber, although some trails are closed, there are still more than 200 miles of trails open in the area.
If you do visit Sedona, remember that State Route 89A is closed, so you'd have to take I-17 and State Route 179.

Detroit FD receives 70,000 rolls of toilet paper
After news of lacking cleaning supplies surfaced, a local radio station asked Charmin for a donation
DETROIT — Charmin donated more than 70,000 rolls of toilet paper to Detroit firefighters after news broke in November that they were lacking essential cleaning supplies.
An 18-wheeler delivered the rolls to the Detroit Public Safety foundation Thursday. From there it will be distributed to city firehouses, according to Fox 2.
"It's sad it had to come to this. It's hard for people to understand when we talk about needing gear and equipment. But when it comes to basics and having to wipe your rear-end, that hits home," Firefighter Jim Plieth said.
The city previously blamed the toilet paper shortage on a vendor problem, but others disagreed, saying it was due to the city's financial problems.
A local radio station is reported to have contacted Charmin about coordinating the donation.
