The navy's plan to build three Russian Talwar-class frigates has a less than wholesome odour, says Ajai Shukla. The Indian Navy, clearly, has an appetite for punishment. One might imagine that the nightmarish experience of refurbishing the Gorshkov -- now the aircraft carrier, INS Vikramaditya -- in a Russian shipyard would be enough to forestall any more such warship building projects.

Short Cuts
Blessed Aquaviva and his Companions were Jesuit priests. He was the son of the Duke of Atri, related to the family of St. Aloysius Gonzaga, and nephew of Claud Aquaviva, the fifth general of the Jesuits. He was admitted at the age of eighteen, in 1568, and after being ordained priest at Lisbon was sent to Goa, in India. Father Aquaviva was one of the two chosen for the mission at Fatehpur Sikri, near Agra, and he worked till 1583 in strenuous efforts to convert Akbar and his subjects, but had no success. He was then put in charge of the Salsette mission, north of Bombay. He and four companions, Father Pacheco, Father Berno, Father Francisco and Brother Aranha, together with other Christians, set out for Cuncolim, the heart of Hindu opposition in that mission, intending to choose there a piece of ground for a church and to plant a cross thereon. They were met with armed force by the villagers. Blessed Rudolf and Blessed Alfonso were killed praying for their murderers, and the other two priests were likewise slain outright. Blessed Francis was left for dead, but found living the next day; he was given a chance to venerate an idol, and on refusing was tied to a tree and shot with arrows. It was not till 1741 that Pope Benedict XIV declared the martyrdom proved, and even then the formal beatification did not take place till 1893. Their feast day is July 27th.

Punjab pocket 3 points on dramatic final day in Mumbai
Mumbai: Punjab earned three crucial points against Mumbai by virtue of their 95-run first innings lead on a dramatic final day of the Ranji Trophy Group A match here on Tuesday.
The match ended in a draw but not without some drama on the final day of the four-day match that saw close to 20 wickets collapsing at the Wankhede Stadium.
Punjab is now leading the points table with 32 points, while Mumbai is placed at fifth position.
Punjab, who had posted 580 in the first innings before being bundled out for a paltry 59 in their second essay, set an improbable victory target of 155 in 10 overs before Mumbai.
The target was too tall for the home team to achieve and they eventually eneded at 62 for two in six overs before the umpires decided to draw curtains on the match.
Mumbai started their second innings with makeshift openers in the form of Rohit Sharma and Abhishek Nayar.
But the hosts lost first innings double centurion Sharma and wicket-keeper Aditya Tare in their chase to garner only one point for the outing.
Sharma struck three sixes and a four and was caught at the boundary line after scoring 28.
Left-arm spinner Ankit Chavan wrecked the Punjab batting line-up in the second innings with his career-best figures of nine for 23.
Karan Goel was the lone Punjab batsman to have managed double digit score with 25 runs.
Earlier resuming at the overnight score of 364 for three, Mumbai lost Hiken Shah in the third over of the day.
Rohit Sharma notched up 203, laced with 24 boundaries and three sixes, but got himself run out in the end.
Punjab pacer Manpreet Gony scalped five wickets, while skipper Harbhajan Singh picked up three wickets.
Brief scores:
Punjab: 580 & 59 (Karan Goel 25, Ankit Chavan 9/23)
Mumbai: 485 & 61 for two in six overs (Rohit Sharma 28, Abhishek Nayar 26; Sandeep Sharma 1/7).

Decent stay but breakfast needs some workPosted Jul 11, 2015
Pros: Big room
Cons: Breakfast is not as appealing as other Best Western hotels
An experience expected from a Best Western hotel - clean room. The room size is big. The hotel is located a bit far from the center of LA, but it is relatively close (30 min drive) to the Universal Studio. The breakfast is not as good as that at other Best Western hotels that we have visited. Will come again if we come back for Universal Studio and Disneyland.

Reader: Will the last Clear Channel employee please turn out the light?
Our posts about last week's layoffs at Clear Channel Denver (and affiliated stations across the country on what became known as "National Firing Day") prompted laments about pink-slipped personalities like KBCO's Keefer with reflections on what's happened to the radio biz. The comment here falls into the latter category.
davebarnes writes:
I am waiting for Clear Channel to figure out that zero is the optimum number of employees to have in order to maximize profit.
I am old enough to remember the shift from mainstream AM to free-form FM in the mid-1960s and I am young enough to expect to see the death of [music-oriented] FM radio.

Lawyers for the Securities and Exchange Commission and two Galleon Group insider-trading defendants battled today over the wiretaps at the center of the case.
The Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York heard arguments from both sides over whether Galleon founder Raj Rajaratnam and former New Castle Partners executive Danielle Chiesi should be forced to turn over the taps—which they received from the prosecutors as part of the criminal case against the two—to the SEC. But the judges on the appeals panel seemed more interested in whether the taps would be admissible in either the criminal or civil case.
"I would think everybody's energies should be devoted to getting a quick resolution on the legality of the wiretaps," U.S. Circuit Judge Reena Raggi said during today's hearing. Rajaratnam's lawyer, Patricia Ann Millett, later explained that, while she believes "there are false, misleading omissions and misrepresentations" in the government documents seeking the wiretaps, the defense is still wading through the 18,000 tapes.
The SEC's civil case against Rajaratnam and Chiesi is set to go to trial on Aug. 2. The criminal trial is scheduled to begin on Oct. 25. Rajaratnam faces up to 185 years in prison if convicted for his role in the largest insider-trading case in U.S. history. Chiesi faces up to 155 years.
Even if the wiretaps are eventually deemed admissible, the defendants say they should not have to hand them over to the SEC, as the judge overseeing the civil case, U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff, ordered last month.
Rakoff's order would force "two defendants in a pending criminal action to disclose in civil discovery almost 20,000 sealed, untested wiretaps of their own private telephone conversations," lawyers for Rajaratnam and Chiesi wrote to the court. "That order contravenes the plain text of the wiretap statute."
Thomas Karr, a lawyer for the SEC, said the fast-approaching civil trial makes access to the wiretaps "a matter of necessity." But he conceded that, should the taps be suppressed, "it is obviously a different situation."

Mt. Vernon Fire Heavily Damages Home Sunday NightA Mt. Vernon man refused hospital treatment for minor smoke inhalation received during a fire at his home Sunday night. Mt. Vernon City Firemen say John Moore of 520 South 19th was cooking on the stove in his kitchen when the fire began. Moore initially tried to put the fire out himself, but left the home when it got out of hand. The fire spread from the kitchen through the ceiling into the attic. An outside wall was also damaged. Firemen estimate damage at $15,000 to $20,000. Moore was the only one in the home when firefighters arrived around 5:30 Sunday night. They were on the scene for about 40 minutes.

Regenerating Bodies: Tissue and Cell Therapies in the Twenty-First Century
Document Type: Book Review
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5235/LIT.4.2.238
Publication date: December 1, 2012
Stem cell research, cloning, GMOs ... How do regulations effect such emerging technologies? What impact do new technologies have on law? And can we rely on technology itself as a regulatory tool?
The meeting of law and technology is rapidly becoming an increasingly significant (and controversial) topic. Law, Innovation and Technology is, however, the only journal to engage fully with it, setting an innovative and distinctive agenda for lawyers, ethicists and policy makers. Spanning ICTs, biotechnologies, nanotechnologies, neurotechnologies, robotics and AI, it offers a unique forum for the highest level of reflection on this essential area.

Artisan: Thatsanee and Ramphan
Master painter and artist Ramphan tells her story: "We are artists in the Celadon ceramic tradition, one of the three main ceramic styles in Thailand, dating back many hundreds of years. The traditional green tones of the glaze are intended to bring to mind the tonal qualities of jade. The celadon glaze is thick and strong, yet has many intricate weblike cracks in its surface for an antique feel.
"I initially learned how to paint basic patterns such as bamboo and lotus, focusing on that for a period of three years. Then I learned more intricate and artistic Thai patterns that I have been painting up to now. My inspiration comes from Thai culture and traditions, and my personal experiences in day-to-day life.
"Painting on celadon can be quite difficult, for this kind of ceramic has a rough surface; it requires much skill and patience, and it sometimes takes me a month to complete a single piece. I am very proud of my work.
"We work with the sense that we are continuing history, our heritage. The products are beautiful and unique. Celadon is anchored in the Lanna culture. The fine skill needed to create it and that it is useful in these modern times is what makes the work meaningful."

The study on the ill-effects of consumption of genetically modified potatoes that your writer alludes to was unpublished, and thus not subject to peer review. This latter discipline is important as a safeguard for the trust we put in the results of scientific discovery. The methodology of this study could never have substant-iated the claim made since it did not use genetically modified material. As a scientist who has become an organic grower, I despair at the polarisation and vilification that has characterised this issue. Surely we can find better ways to judge whether there are any merits in scientific innovation?

The Space
The Studio itself is a completely private bedroom with its own entrance, bathroom, kitchenette, outside area and carport. In the bedroom you will find a queen-size bed with a memory-foam pad, firm and soft pillows, a table with two chairs, a small walk-in closet, books and games, extra shelves, heater, swamp cooler and mini-refrigerator. The all tile bathroom has a 12-foot high ceiling with a skylight. Towels, soap and shampoo provided. The kitchenette also has a high ceiling with skylight and it contains a two-burner hotplate, a huge sink, a microwave oven, a toaster oven, pots and pans with cooking utensils, coffee, tea, plunger pot, hotpot, cups and plates. The outside area has a table with chairs, grill and a wood-burning stove -all great for watching the stars at night.
The Studio is perfectly located for quick and easy access to both the Joshua Tree National Park (you can hike into it from your door if you would like) and the great restaurants and shops of downtown Joshua Tree (you can walk to them right down the hill one mile away). It is is literally on the boundary between civilization and wilderness.
Being on the edge of the neighborhood you will be on paved road with quick and easy access to all the great places to eat and shop in Downtown Joshua Tree. But it still feels like you are in the park. An amazing view of two bouldered hills is yours right from the patio. In the yard you are surrounded with native Desert Willows, Creosote Bushes, Jojoba and Joshua Trees. Here you might also see Roadrunners, Quail, Jackrabbits and possibly a Bobcat. Many times you will hear coyotes right nearby in the field. Also being close to the National Park provides a really dark sky at night making the Milky Way and all the shooting stars shine bright.
Coyote Hole:
A unique feature of the Guest Studio is that it is across the street from a canyon called Coyote Hole. The entrance is less than a third of a mile away. Coyote Hole is an amazing hidden canyon with ancient Native American sites scattered throughout. Here you will be able to see very old petroglyphs left by humans possibly up to a thousand years ago. This is an incredible place just to walk through and it is just right outside your front door.
What You Be Able To Do When Visiting:
-When you arrive you can quickly figure out the best things to do in Joshua Tree from the info center located right inside the door containing books, brochures and menus to answer any of your questions about the area such as where to eat or where to hike .
-You can walk or drive down the hill just one mile to find a restaurant for dinner or get groceries to cook something yourself in the kitchenette.
-You could go on an evening walk on the trail through the petroglyphs in Coyote Hole right outside the door.
-You can spend the whole night looking at the stars under the dark skies of the Park around a fire outside.
-You can wake up in the morning sauntering down the hill to the cafe for coffee and breakfast.
-You can take a full day to explore the Joshua Tree National Park without worrying about setting up your tent or getting ready for bed in the cold dark during the Winter.
-On Saturdays you can walk to the certified farmer's market and bring back the fresh produce to cook in the kitchenette.
-You could even ride your bike on paved road from your room all over the Park and come back to a great shower and bed.
-You can travel with your pet when staying here and even go for a walk with your companion on a real trail.
From the Guest Studio you can hike, bike, horseback or drive into the Park and yet also walk to the restaurants and shops. You can leave the car parked in the private carport the whole time if you would like. It is a private studio on the very edge of downtown Joshua Tree that offers a trail through boulders, prairie and brush into the Joshua Tree National Park right outside the door.
Other Things To Note:
Sorry we cannot accommodate more than two adults although additional guests such as infants, small children and pets are welcome.
Amenities include a private room and carport, full tile, heated bathroom with shower, kitchen (with cookware & utensils), private outside room (with wood-burning stove), fresh sheets and towels -and soap and shampoo as well, wireless internet, table and chairs, mini-refrigerator, dresser, closet and shelves, outside patio furniture.
*Special Note: By paying for accommodation in The Joshua Tree Guest Studio you necessarily agree to the Short Term Rental Agreement found in the House Rules.
Also: We are committed to conservation and the environment. We recycle and compost everything we can and provide that service to our guests as well. We help facilitate minimizing water consumption and garbage disposal too.
If you need more information please contact me or you could search for "Joshua Tree Guest Studio" online.
Thanks again!
Jaybe (and Keri)
Guest Access
As a guest you have full access to the private studio apartment with private bathroom and kitchenette, as well as the outside private area with a grill and wood burning fireplace. Also the shaded carport is yours to use during your stay. There is also a trail into the wilderness across the road.
Interaction with Guests
I try to greet every guest myself when they arrive. But if not, I am always available to contact with questions. If I am not on site, there will be someone right near by to assist if you need anything. And I am happy to take anyone on a short tour of the petroglyphs if I can. There are also maps in the Studio to guide you in your own explorations through this amazing canyon.
The Neighbourhood
The Joshua Tree Village is a neighborhood with funky cafes, restaurants, clothing and gear shops, art galleries and thrift stores. Yet the Studio is also right next to a canyon filled with petroglyphs. So I strongly recommend walking around both these areas!
Getting Around
The studio is well located for those who like to walk. Either walking on the trails in the boulders across the street or to a cafe restaurant or store down the hill.
Other Things to Note
The Studio is really close to a canyon filled with petroglyphs called Coyote Hole.

Amazing studio in the desert! Loved the little outdoor entrance area and the backyard, very pretty. After a whole day's hike it was so nice to have a few beers and just hang out outside especially when the temperature cools down in the evenings.
Jaybe is quite easy going and very easy to communicate with. He was not there at the time when we checked in but he left very detailed descriptions so it was no problem. Highly recommend staying here if you visit the area.
We loved our stay at this studio! Only a quick drive from Joshua Tree's downtown, but also secluded enough that you can hike right from the house. The owner thought out everything and had clear instructions for every single question you might have, but also was reachable by phone if you had any questions.
Wonderful! Jaybe's cabin was perfect for our two day getaway. The space had everything we could need. The bed was super comfortable and the view was stunning. I especially enjoyed the hammock outside.
Although Jaybe was out of town, Jaybe's friends were only a phone call away and very helpful. Would highly recommend staying here.
We had a wonderful experience staying at Jaybee's guest house. It is set up with everything that one might need. Great organization and very comfortable, too. I can't wait to plan another trip to Joshua Tree and spend more time at this gem. Jaybee and his assistants are very helpful. Thanks for everything!
Such a lovely little space in the perfect location for the Joshua Tree adventurer! Loved our stay, very comfortable and all the necessities were there for us. I mean like everything! It's very peaceful but super close to town and to the park entrance.
This was the perfect location for us to get to know Joshua Tree for our first time. The guest house had a kitchen, a cooling system, and lovely amenities, including a hammock in the patio. Filled with information and books about Joshua Tree, it was the ideal place to start the day and come back to after being out. Very cozy, we absolutely loved it!

Minsters say no to nano centre funding
The government has rejected academics' calls for funding for a new nanotechnology centre, but has accepted that more research is needed to allow it to implement a sensible regulatory structure.
Responding to the proposals in research it commissioned itself, the Department of Trade and Industry's Office of Science and Technology did agree to a review of safety regulations to assess the impact of the "science of the very small" on public health and the environment.

Title: Why are small leaf pieces aligned on top of exposed root?
Answered by: Guy Thompson
QUESTION:Hi. An oak tree in my yard has one of its exposed roots covered in hundreds of small pieces of leaves. The pieces follow exactly the shape of the root above the surface. What insect would do this and why?
I am going to ask you questions in return. Were those pieces of leaf of fairly uniform size, of irregular shape, and freshly cut (green)? Could they have been slowly moving??? What Mr. Smarty Plants is thinking is that they were cut pieces of leaves being transferred to the nest of leaf-cutting ants. Such ants do occur in the Austin area, but infrequently. Like other ant species, they sometimes find that moving along an exposed root or fallen branch is a faster way to carry their loads than making their more difficult trails through grass and leaf litter. See the indicated article abstract for a description of this phenomenon.
If the leaf fragments you observed were not being slowly carried along the root, I don't know why they would have been put down and left. Give me more information if this explanation does not solve the question. We may have to propose a different answer. Root pixies?

Solskjaer taunts City with 'little brother' jibe ahead of season's first Manchester derby
Manchester United legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has ramped up the tension ahead of Sunday's derby by belittling rivals City as United's 'little brother' who will never take their place as the 'big brother' in the relationship.
The first Manchester showdown of the Barclays Premier League season is already being billed as a key match in the title race ahead of the busy Christmas schedule.
The pair have already established a massive advantage at the top of the table over third-placed Chelsea.
Taunt: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (left) raised tensions ahead of the derby
City won the title last season in virtually the last minute of the last game, in one of the most spectacular days in Premier League history.
But Solskjaer, who scored 126 goals in 366 appearances in an 11-year career at Old Trafford, believes the 19-time English champions will remain the dominant figure in the relationship.
He told the BBC's Football Focus: 'Manchester United have always stood up again and bounced back, it's just in the DNA.
'When you get disappointments you bounce back.
Bouncing back: Manchester United were beaten in midweek while City also suffered European disappointment
'It's always this thing about being the big brother and the little brother coming to try to overtake the big brother.
'That always happens in families and in clubs - the young player hoping to take the old player's position - and City are hoping to overtake United. I don't think they'll ever be able to.'
Solskjaer, the super sub who has become a successful manager with Norwegian champions Molde, believes United will show enough of their traditional fight to wrestle the title back off their noisy neighbours.
'The start of this season has been good, not brilliant, but United are always improving throughout the season,' he said.
Rivalry: Sir Alex Ferguson and Roberto Mancini will face each other once more on Sunday
'Man United have over the years, and through their history, won in dramatic fashion and in the club's history you've had so many disappointments, like the [Munich air] disaster, and they have always stood up again and bounced back.'
Meanwhile, Ryan Giggs has admitted both Manchester clubs head into Sunday's derby showdown still struggling to recapture last season's form.
United are three points ahead of unbeaten City, who themselves are seven clear of third-placed Chelsea.
On top: Manchester City won the last derby on their way to clinching the Premier League title
Yet the duo have come in for strong criticism, which has intensified this week following the Red Devils' woeful defending at Reading and the Blues' dismal Champions League exit on the back of the worst performance by an English team in the competition's history.
'We are both in a similar situation,' said Giggs
'We are in a good position in the league but haven't hit the form we did in parts last season.
'That can be frustrating because we want perfection.
Knockout: United's only derby victory last season came in the FA Cup
'We want to be the best team and each individual wants to be the best player.
'We must be doing something right because we are in a good position and there is the belief we can score goals.
'But that doesn't mean we should neglect our defending and not try and stop the goals we are leaking because we need to stop conceding them.'

Like an iPad, but mini....,
This review is from: Apple iPad Mini - Black (16GB, Wifi) (Personal Computers)
I had been hoping that apple would release something like this for some time now - so was really happy when my family chipped in and bought be one for Christmas (lucky boy!!!).
In simple terms, this is just an iPad but smaller, and lighter. It does more or less everything that you can do on an ipad (we also have an iPad 2 in our household) but is more portable.
If portability is not really an issue (ie you are happy to carry the bigger one with you when out and about, or would always leave it at home - then I would probably plump for the larger one (though there is also the difference in price to factor in - the mini is cheaper than even than a new iPad 2, which are still available).
I cycle to and from work every day, so this fits in my bag nicely and is light as a feather. That said, I have seen reviews that say you can hold it comfortably in one hand (to read a book etc). I'm not so sure about this - I also have a kindle (a standard black and white one) which I can hold easily between finger and thumb for ling-ish periods. With the iPad Mini, I find it much more comfortable to use two hands still - but even with two it is far more comfortable to hold for longer than then iPad.
I also find that typing is really easy when holding it with two hands and using thumbs - especially in portrait orientation.
Looks-wise, I have no complaints. It does have the usual apple build quality.
Obviously, it would be nice if the price was more competative with other tablets (Google nexus 7 for example) - but if like me, you have other apple products already they work seamlessly together due to iCloud and airplay on apple TV. If you don't use other apple products, then I would still recommend this - but would definitely be looking at the other options/competitors too (Google Nexus 7, Kindle Fire HD, Nook) as they all offer similar functionality, for less money but with various pro's and cons.
If it was cheaper (�269 from Apple directly) and also had a higher resolution screen (doesn't have Apple's flagship "Retina Display") I would have given this 5 stars - I'm happy enough with the display, but if/when they release a version with a better screen, I know I'm going to feel short-changed.

Algueira proves with this wine that they not only excel at making first-rate, oak-aged wine from their Riberia Sacra holdings, but a delicious unoaked example as well. Spicy dark cherry fruit aromas are also quite peppery, leading to a fresh palate of crisp fruits, with nice initial attack, lovely minerality and admirable persistence. Very highly recommended! (Joe Manekin, K&L Spanish wine buyer)

In a culture warier than ever of poetry in public places, it looks as if elegies can still take you through the grandest entrances. During the late 1990s, the Whitbread book of the year award (forerunner of the Costas, before beer gave way to coffee) went four times in succession to volumes of verse: two by Seamus Heaney, two by Ted Hughes.
In 1998, the last collection of original poems to take the cross-category final prize proved to be Ted Hughes's ecstatic, tormented swansong for his first wife Sylvia Plath, Birthday Letters. (Heaney won the next round with his version of Beowulf.)
Then, for a decade, poetry languished on the margins, muscled out of the limelight by fiction and the odd heavyweight biography. Now A Scattering, Christopher Reid's four sequences of elegiac poems about his late wife Lucinda, have prevailed. At the beginnings and the ends of life, a verse-averse society still opts to honour poetry. In the busy middle passages, it tends to vanish. But for now the "necessary footnote" (as Reid puts it) of the words that mark his loss – or our losses – will reach many more readers than before.
Understated, elliptical, rising quietly through its stages of memory and mourning into a controlled intensity, A Scattering glows with a restrained passion. It brings the dead woman back into ever-changing focus not as a saint or icon but a scattily enthusiastic shape-shifter, someone whose fluctuating moods and masks calls for an equally flexible verse.
Reid never quite drops the playful, paradoxical wit of his former work. He came to prominence in the early 1980s after his first collections, Arcadia and Pea Soup, had marked him as, along with Craig Raine, one of the so-called "Martian" poets who looked down on blundering humanity with a sardonic, almost extraterrestrial eye. In some ways A Scattering could not sound more different, with its steady attention to the universal truths of bereavement. The Martian has indeed fallen to earth. But his poetry still makes it strange, stands apart – and so lets us look such grief in the face.

I need help building a query.
I have two tables. One his called jobs_certs and the other is called users_certs.
The jobs_certs table contains the certificates required to apply for a job. Each required certificate has it's own row, with the job_id representing the job posting the required certificate is attached to, and cert_id representing the id attached to that certificate.
The users_certs table contains all the certificates a user possesses. Each certificate has it's own row, with the uid representing the user's id and the cert_id representing the id of the certificate the user possesses.
I need to see if a user possesses all the certificates required for the job. So I tried something like this:
SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(cert_id) as certs, uid
FROM users_certs
HAVING certs = (SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(cert_id) FROM jobs_certs WHERE job_id = 6)
But I'm not getting any results back. How should I go about something like that?
Thanks in advance.

Tom Smart, Deseret News
On Aug. 5 during a game in Fresno, Bees slugger Brennan Boesch was subject to a chorus of boos. On two consecutive pitches, Boesch's bat slipped out of his hand and flew into the Fresno crowd, the first time injuring a small boy. After the second bat reached the concourse, the Grizzlies crowd rained down jeers upon Boesch, thinking he was doing it on purpose. The crowd made him out to be a villain, but in reality he is just the opposite.
The following day, just hours removed from a red eye flight, the outfielder was at Shriners Hospital in Park City lifting up a toddler, helping him place a ball in an apple basket. Boesch and four of his Bees teammates spent the day volunteering at the hospital hanging out with the kids, playing whiffle ball and taking the chance to brighten any children's day.
"I'm just staying really positive right now," Boesch said. "I had a pretty rough incident in Fresno that shook me up a little bit, just bad luck with the bat going into the stands. It just was one of those things that I don't even know how it happened."
Boesch wanted to put the incident behind him, but before he could do so he knew he had to make it right to at least one little boy.
"The biggest thing to put that to rest was I reached out to the family (of the boy his bat struck)," Boesch said. "The little boy's doing well, and I was able to get some Giants tickets for the families and some other goodies from the Giants and turn a negative situation into a positive one. That's something as a ball player if you have the opportunity to take a negative situation and turn it into a positive, you jump all over it, and I was happy to do that."
With the incident behind him, Boesch has excelled at the plate. In the second inning of Salt Lake's 8-7 victory over El Paso Monday, Boesch hit a single to right field. The single was the 11th straight at-bat that Boesch had reached base, breaking the franchise record. During the span, he was 8-for-8 with two home runs, four doubles and six RBIs.
Boesch's powerful swing is what has made him so effective in the last few days, but it was also the thing that caused the bat to slip from his grip.
"It's one of those things that when you're a guy that swings hard and lets the bat move the baseball, you can let it go and sometimes can't control it," Boesch said.
Boesch may not have been able to control the bat that night in Fresno, but he could control the way he has handled the aftermath. It appears he now can move on.
"That's the reality of being a human being, when you do something that affects somebody else and somebody's loved one, that was tough," Boesch said. "So to come back here and put Fresno behind me was a big deal for me."
Bees 8 El Paso 7
In short: The Bees survived a ninth inning two-run rally by El Paso to hold on for an 8-7 victory Monday night. Salt Lake outfielder Brennan Boesch set a franchise record reaching base for the 11th consecutive time in the victory.

Luongo Reveals Rib Injury
by Paul on 12/11/07 at 09:30 AM ET
Comments (0)
from the Ice Hole,
So, it turns out a "coach's hunch" is a rib contusion.
Good, now we know.
It was strange to everyone when Roberto Luongo didn't address the media after the Penguins game Saturday. It was out of character and the first instinct of many was that Luongo was suffering some sort of injury.
The Canucks had made the decision to hide the injury and their commitment to that decision went from the odd to the ridiculous.
