Oyler: 1811 New Madrid earthquakes were most severe in North America
During our Thanksgiving visit in Illinois with our daughter Elizabeth and her family, I began to read a book just published by one of their friends, Dr. Conevery Bolton Valencius. Conevery was a colleague of theirs at Washington University in St. Louis; she currently is a faculty member at the University of Massachusetts/Boston.
Her book, entitled "The Lost History of the New Madrid Earthquakes," discusses the most severe earthquakes ever recorded in North America and speculates on the fact that the general public is unaware of their existence. By coincidence she recently was a guest speaker at Carnegie Mellon on this subject; I was fortunate to be able to attend her lecture.
The events in question occurred in the mid-Mississippi Valley on Dec. 16, 1811; Jan. 23, 1812; and Feb. 7, 1812; and were accompanied by thousands of smaller aftershocks. Since the epicenter was near the small river village of New Madrid, the series of quakes have been identified with that community. At that time, New Madrid was in the Louisiana Territory, acquired from Napoleon eight years earlier as part of the Louisiana Purchase. He had acquired it from Spain in 1800.
The New Madrid settlement was founded by Spanish governor Miro in 1776. His agent, Revolutionary War Col. George Morgan, brought a party of German immigrants west to populate the settlement in 1789. Readers of this column are familiar with Col. Morgan, who eventually built a mansion just north of Canonsburg, called Morganza. Today, New Madrid is in southeastern Missouri.
The New Madrid earthquakes were remarkable for their extent; seismologists believe they were felt 500 miles away. The Mississippi River sloshed back and forth like water in a bathtub. Great quantities of lignite, sand and warm water spouted out of the ground. Lightning flashed in the sky. Church bells in Charleston, S.C., and in Toronto, Canada, were rung by the tremor. Residents of Pittsburgh reported intense shaking. President James Madison and his wife, Dolly, felt them in the White House.
The speaker attempted to address the fact that nearly no one today is aware of the New Madrid seismic events, while those of the 20th century are a major part of our history. One reason, of course, is the fact that there were very few white Americans in the region where the most severe damage occurred. This area was the location of numerous Native American settlements; their destruction was barely mentioned in the rest of the country.
A major consequence of these earthquakes was the transformation of the St. Francis River valley. Prior to 1811, the St. Francis was a major tributary of the lower Mississippi, paralleling it from a source in Missouri for several hundred miles through Arkansas. Historians believe the Native American settlements along the St. Francis were part of a highly developed culture, one that was destroyed by the earthquakes, which left a series of impassable swamplands in an area that had been prosperous.
An interesting sidelight of these episodes was the fact that the first steamboat on the Ohio River was right in the midst of them. Following Robert Fulton and Nicholas Roosevelt's success with the Clermont on the Hudson River in 1807, they elected to have a large sidewheeler built in Pittsburgh for commerce on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. The 148-foot long vessel was built for $38,000 and could transport 60 passengers comfortably.
The maiden voyage of the New Orleans was disrupted at Louisville, Ky., where they had to wait a month for higher water so they could navigate the "Falls of the Ohio." When the first New Madrid tremor hit, they were near Owensboro, Ky., about 200 miles east of the epicenter. The remainder of their trip to New Orleans was a nightmare of uprooted trees, wrecked boats and destroyed river towns. One night the island to which they were tied up quietly sank into the river.
Dr. Valencius mentioned that seismologists today are still puzzled regarding "mid-continent earthquakes.' They can easily explain seismic activity at tectonic plate boundaries, like the San Andreas Fault, because their model is based on huge (100 miles thick) tectonic plates running into each other. But what explains huge tremors in the middle of these plates? I suspect any good solid mechanics specialist could prove that conventional plate buckling technology will predict results just like New Madrid.
I enjoyed the lecture and am looking forward to reading the rest of the speaker's book. I wonder what old Pittsburgh newspaper archives have to say about these events and about Col. Morgan and Nicholas Roosevelt.

- Filed Under
It's been a couple of weeks since President Barack Obama unveiled his latest plan to fight global warming, a plan that despite its critics might give Nevada a sweet spot to focus on as the Silver State develops its niche within the alternative energy industry.
Obama said the changes would reduce domestic carbon dioxide emissions by 17 percent below 2005 levels by 2020 and "put an end to the limitless dumping of carbon pollution." The program also will boost renewable energy production on federal lands, increase efficiency standards and prepare communities to deal with higher temperatures.
As the RGJ's Jason Hidalgo reported, Nevada is investing significant political capital on green energy by opening new markets in the state, sending a strong message that renewables continue to be a key priority here.
Three new laws passed in the last legislative session and approved by Gov. Brian Sandoval are expected to provide a boost to renewable energy development in the state by freeing up new capacity from retiring plants, updating renewable energy credit requirements and restructuring tax abatements for local areas.
Nevada government efforts are timely, represent a good investment for the state and offer the potential for long-term economic growth with the potential of continuing job creation for our state.
That is not the case across the country.
As the Associated Press found in its own reporting, the push to fight global warming "has triggered condemnation from the coal industry across the industrial Midwest, where state and local economies depend on the health of an energy sector facing strict new pollution limits."
Some have characterized this as a "war on coal" by the president, a charge predictably denied by the administration.
Nevada, fortunately, is not a major player in that coal fight, though it would be foolish to discount coal as part of America's energy mix and for its value as an export to other countries.
While other states expend resources and money in the coal fight, Nevada can use its resources to gain full advantage in the economy's alternative energy sector.
Coal certainly will represent a smaller portion of the energy mix in Nevada through recent action by the Nevada Legislature.
Earlier this year, Nevada's largest utility, NV Energy, announced plans to begin closing four coal-fired power plants northeast of Las Vegas and invest more money in renewable energy.
Later, Nevada lawmakers crafted Senate Bill 123. The bill requires NV Energy to retire 800 megawatts worth of coal-based electric capacity by the end of 2019. Senate Bill 123 also mandates that 350 megawatts of new replacement capacity come from renewable energy sources.
Nevada's renewable energy sector saw its first major boost in 1997 with the creation of the state's renewable portfolio standard, which required a percentage of the state's energy to come from clean energy sources. The percentage was revised in 2009, mandating that the state receive 25 percent of its energy from renewables by 2025.
For the Nevada Governor's Office of Energy, the new laws represent the next step in the state's continuing efforts to build a robust renewable ecosystem.
"These (new laws) just keep the ball rolling and moving forward in terms of energy policy," Energy Office Director Stacey Crowley told the RGJ. "They address distributed generation and, to some extent, transmission. It's a way for us to keep focus and make sure we continue to refine and improve our energy policy."
Consumers in Nevada, however, will have to play a part, too, especially in offering suggestions along the way.
Even supporters of the new Nevada laws acknowledge that rates likely will rise as a result of the measures.
"There may be an increase in rates, but the governance put into place as far as the Public Utilities Commission is concerned will have a better effect on the ratepayer in the long term," said Tom Clark, a renewable energy lobbyist with Holland & Hart LLP. "I think the biggest benefit will be the fact that Nevada will keep its energy dollars in Nevada instead of spending those on out-of-state contracts for coal and other resources."
Meanwhile, the impact of the laws on new development still isn't certain.
But the changes from the three laws were welcomed by developers such as Enel Green Power North America Inc., which supported the measures when they were being considered in the Legislature. Enel has developed two geothermal plants and one solar facility in Nevada and also has operations and executive staff headquartered in Reno.
"The passage of SB123, SB252 and AB239 is certainly good news for renewable development in that state," said Robert Manasse, senior vice president of regulatory affairs and innovation for Enel.
Getting Nevada's new laws up, running and on solid footing will be key to their success in assisting the renewable energy industry. There's little doubt that it will be a slow climb with challenges and potential setbacks. What's key to remember is that this is a long-term effort. The payoff may not jump out as an immediate success, but the foundation will have been put into place for sustainable benefits to build on Nevada's already solid gains.

About Franchot Tone
Folks aren't used to seeing Franchot Tone out front of a musical project. The Bend resident is best known as the co-founder of the groovy roots-reggae outfit Culver City Dub Collective, and locally, he made a splash a couple years ago by producing singer-songwriter Reed Thomas Lawrence's self-titled album, which helped propel Lawrence to the point he's at now: moving to L.A. and rising through the music industry.
Over the past several months, though, Tone has been holed up in his studio at Rage Productions, slowly but surely piecing together his first solo project. Last I heard, he still had a ways to go before he'll be releasing anything, but ... he shipped over a sneak peek at his first completed track, which sounds pretty much like what we all know Tone can do well: sun-baked, easygoing, reggae-flavored pop-rock. -Ben Salmon, Bend BulletinMap & Directions

Sanral default not an option - StateComment on this story
A default by the SA National Roads Agency Ltd (Sanral) on its R20 billion debt incurred in improving Gauteng's highway network "is not an option", government spokesman Jimmy Manyi said on Thursday.
"Government will pull (out) everything it can to ensure Sanral meets its obligations," Manyi said in Cape Town during the cabinet's fortnightly briefing.
"Government will ensure the financial stability of Sanral is preserved. The issue of Sanral defaulting is not an option."
Sanral was downgraded two notches by ratings agency Moody's Investors Service last week after doubts about whether it could meet its commitment to pay its debt.
The downgrade means that Sanral could see a spike in its cost of borrowing.
Moody's said in a statement that the rating action followed the North Gauteng High Court's decision on April 28 to block the implementation of electronic tolling on the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project (GFIP), pending a final court resolution on the matter.
The government said on April 26 that it would postpone the project, which had been opposed by trade unions and opposition political parties.
The government had agreed on a significant reduction in e-toll rates, following which Treasury extended a R5.8 billion budget allocation to Sanral to help it meet it's commitments.
It is estimated that Sanral has lost about R2.7 billion due to the postponement.
Moody's said Sanral's e-toll revenues were essential to it servicing its R20 billion debt, which is 50 percent guaranteed by the government.
Manyi said that government was not "bailing out" Sanral.
"The word 'bail-out' has all sorts of connotations," he said.
"There is no question about whether Sanral will default on its payment. Government will not allow that to happen."
The Cabinet had formed a high level committee to look into the e-tolling committee. The committee is headed by Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe, who is due to brief the media on the issue next Thursday.
Sanral chief executive Nazir Alli resigned from the company last week.
His resignation was welcomed by The Opposition to Urban Tolling Alliance and the Congress of SA Trade Unions.
Despite the opposition, Manyi said the government remained committed to e-tolling and would appeal the High Court in Pretoria's interim order halting the implementation of the system.
"Cabinet has taken a decision to appeal the interim order to stop the e-tolling," Manyi said.
He said the government only received a written copy of Judge Bill Prinsloo's April 28 judgment late on Wednesday.
"As we are sitting here, our lawyers are studying the judgment and will advise the executive in due course."
He added: "Cabinet reiterated its commitment to the user pays principle and its decision on e-tolling as an efficient mechanism of collection."
Manyi said Cabinet also made plain it would not allow the embattled SA National Roads Agency Ltd to default on the debt it incurred to complete the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project.
"As a country we need to demonstrate unequivocal commitment to meet all our contractual obligations, including repaying the debt incurred in the construction of GFIP. Defaulting on our debt is simply not an option." - Sapa

Las Vegas/SHOWEST - Christie, a leader in digital cinema projection, today announces that its Global Quality department and Network Operations Center (Cypress, CA) have released data confirming 99.999% reliability for Christie lamps in Christie projectors. The statistical information for the reliability data is acquired from the Christie Network Operations Center (NOC) which has monitored more than 10 million showings over the last 24 months.
The sample size for the data includes the 3,800 Christie digital projectors deployed during Phase 1 of the Christie/AIX (now Cinedigm) digital cinema roll-out which began in December 2005. Every digital cinema system in the deployment is remotely monitored 24/7 and evaluated for environmental health, maintenance, reliability and uptime.
According to Craig Sholder, vice-president, Entertainment Solutions at Christie, "We are in the unique position to have quantifiable data that confirms that Christie lamps with Christie projectors provide exhibitors with 99.999% proven uptime. Each month our NOC monitors more than 500,000 individual showings, and each month our Quality department analyzes the data from the NOC to ensure that our systems continue to perform flawlessly."
Sholder adds, "We're very excited to be able to share these results with our customers. In today's current economic climate, it is absolutely critical that every exhibitor has every opportunity to generate revenue from every single showing-with Christie lamps in Christie projectors, exhibitors can choose a solution that provides a clear assurance of reliability."
The Christie CP2000-ZX, Christie CP2000-XB, Christie CP2000-SB and Christie CP2000-M represent the brightest, highest performing projectors with the lowest operating costs in their class. With the addition of Christie Brilliant3DTM technology, the Christie CP2000 series of projectors provide bigger, brighter, clearer 3D images in full 2K resolution. Now available with 99.999% proven uptime, the show will go on and on.

But do we actually believe that loving parents -- parents who would eagerly trade places with Terri in an instant -- would place their own comfort above their daughter's? If not, how can we possibly believe they would fight to prolong her suffering? In examining this case from a distance, isn't it much easier to believe Terri's parents' assessment of her desire to continue living than that of her adulterous husband, whose conflict of interest should disqualify him from guardianship in this case and participation in this decision?
And isn't the essential argument of those wanting the tube removed that Terri's wishes ought to be honored? Since Terri left no legal document directing her death in these circumstances, shouldn't the system require clear and convincing evidence that Terri indeed would want to die in these circumstances? Yet the court is relying on the hearsay evidence of Terri's estranged husband, Michael.
The question is whether as a society we want to resolve these very difficult, doubtful cases in favor of death.
I detect more than a bit of intellectual dishonesty among many favoring Terri's death. They are claiming they merely want to honor Terri's wishes, yet they rely on her tainted husband, callously discount the testimony of her loving parents, blindly accept the disinformation that Terri is in a purely vegetative state, and ignore multiple firsthand accounts, including from examining physicians and nurses, that Terri is responsive, sometimes animated, and definitely wants to go on living.
Could it be that something besides Terri's wishes motivates many of the death-soldiers, such as an allegiance to the culture of death, or some abject, inhumane resentment that we spend so much money keeping severely disabled people alive? I've received appalling e-mails from people complaining about the financial burden on society in keeping Terri alive.
I'm not pointing fingers at anyone specifically, because I know that many who want the tube removed are motivated by their perceived compassion for Terri and even honoring Terri's wishes. But I fear that many arguing for tube removal are doing so with complete disregard for Terri's actual wishes in this case. To the extent that is going on, we are witnessing up-close the face of evil.
We must fight on ? More prayers for Terri.

|Saline Breast Implant Fluid Collection and Reactive Arthritis in a Patient With Streptococcal Toxic Shock Syndrome.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21325958 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Streptococcal toxic shock syndrome is a potentially lethal condition with an increasing incidence over the last 30 years. We present the case of a 55-year-old patient with signs and symptoms of streptococcal toxic shock syndrome. This patient's presentation was unique in that it was followed by an accumulation of fluid in her breast implant in addition to a polyarticular reactive arthritis. We propose that the patient's reactive arthritis is consistent with the diagnosis of post-streptococcal reactive arthritis, a variant of acute rheumatic fever, which similarly to its variant is immunologically driven. We hypothesize that the fluid collection in the patient's breast implant was triggered by her infection and was also immunologically mediated.

Stopping in Houston? Who do you call?
Stephen Baker
I changed planes in Houston, looked at my watch and had a quaint 1980s thought: Maybe I had time to call a couple of friends in the 713 area code!
There's an entire generation now that doesn't even remember such thoughts. But it wasn't that long ago that if you found yourself on a layover somewhere, you'd call local friends and talk to them for a quarter, or even a dime. It was almost like a free long-distance call, which was akin to free money. "It's nice to hear your voice," we'd tell each other, and we'd promise to write more often.
Just a revery from those days before cell phones obliterated geography and email slayed letters.
How the years march on! But there's still something special about looking up old friends when you're in town, even for a brief layover. Saying, "I'm here, and I thought of you," is timeless, though we live in a compressed and electronically connected world.

I can't imagine how crazy about a person I would have to be to drive over to JFK or even LaGuardia for a one-hour visit. I think that only a "conjugal visit," as the inmates call them, would would move me to such an extreme.

HAGERSTOWN, MD. >> It was Aug. 14, and the Auburn (N.Y.) Doubledays had just finished up a doubleheader against Jamestown, N.Y.
The Doubledays lost both games of the twinbill, and afterward, Travis Ott was called into manager Gary Cathcart's office.
"He was acting like he was mad at me, saying I didn't do a shoulder exercise after my bullpen session," Ott said.
But then Ott got news he never saw coming.
He said, "Then coach told me that the real reason he called me in was to tell me I was heading to Hagerstown."
Ott, a 6-foot-4, 170-pound left-handed pitcher from Shippensburg, was promoted to the Washington Nationals' Class A affiliate, the Hagerstown Suns.
With the Doubledays, Ott made 10 starts and boasted an impressive 3.05 earned run average in 44 1/3 innings. He also averaged 7.5 strikeouts per nine innings, but even with his gaudy statistics, Ott didn't see the move coming.
"I was expecting to be in Auburn the whole season. I was in shock when I got the news," Ott said, "but I'm happy to be in Hagerstown. I get to see my family and friends all the time now."
Ott, who now lives at home during home stands and makes the drive to Hagerstown every day, started slowly with the Suns but has gotten better in every start.
His first start came on Aug. 17 against the Lakewood Blue Claws, and it was his shortest outing of the season. He lasted just 1 1/3 innings and gave up five runs. But in his second start, Ott went back to his old self. He fired five innings of two-run ball, giving up just four hits with four strikeouts.
He followed that up with another solid showing last Thursday against Asheville. He started out rough, giving up two runs in the first inning, but settled down to shut down the Tourists the rest of the way. He pitched 4 1/3 innings, giving up two runs on six hits with four strikeouts.
"Hitters are a lot more disciplined at this level," Ott said. "They recognize pitches better and are a lot harder to fool. My first start was pretty rough, but it's gotten better every time. It's coming around."
Each of Ott's first three starts with Hagerstown have been on the road, but he is hoping to make his first start at Municipal Stadium sometime soon. Ott has had great support from friends and family all season — his mom, Melody Ott, has missed only one of his 13 starts — and he also has earned the praise of his coaching staff.
"He reminds me a lot of myself when I was 19 ... just with better stuff," said Hagerstown pitching coach Sam Narron, who, listed at 6-7, 200 pounds, pitched in both the major league and minor league levels. "He has a sneaky fastball and a lot of movement on his pitches."
But like any player moving up in the minor leagues, there are still many things Ott can improve on.
"When young pitchers get to this level, they are so used to dominating hitters," Narron said. "They get away with getting hitters out without having to throw strikes. Here, we focus a lot on having our pitchers pound the strike zone and get the ball over the plate consistently."
Ott said, "My biggest thing is that I tend to let things get in my head. I try to clear it all out, but it's hard to do."
For the rest of the season, Ott plans to let it all out on the field. After all, 19-year-olds drafted in the 25th round fresh out of high school aren't expected to make it to single-A in their first season.
"My coaches told me to just have fun," Ott said. "Just go out, pitch my game and do what I do."
Once the season ends, Ott will travel to Florida from Sept. 13 to Oct. 8 for the Instructional League before heading into the offseason. After a fine first full season in professional baseball, his quick rise up the ranks has Ott wanting even more.
"I hope to keep moving up quick, but I can't complain," Ott said. "I have so many people cheering me on and it's great. I couldn't ask for a better organization with it being so close to home."
And if you ask Narron, Ott's expectations are not unrealistic.
He said, "Travis has the potential and the stuff to accomplish his goals. He could have a very long career in professional baseball."
So be sure to find time to head to Hagerstown and watch Ott pitch – you will have plenty of chances. Travis Ott is home.

"Woke up … had a good breakfast … got a smile on my face … everyone is feeling good … it's finally here."
"It," of course, refers to the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, and the speaker in question is none other than "Baby" singer [artist id="3187077″]Justin Bieber[/artist]. On Sunday, Bieber — who was nominated for Best New Artist — tweeted to his legions of Twitter followers to express his excitement over the impending awards show. "Regardless of what happens, I'm lucky to have the greatest fans ever," he wrote. "So thank you!"
By the end of the night, Bieber had more than luck and his fans on his side — he also had a Moonman to call his own.
"Wow. What?? Are you kidding. What!!?!" an ecstatic Bieber tweeted immediately following his win for Best New Artist. "Can't stop smiling!"
Bieber offered his thanks to a wide range of supporters, from his mother to his manager, Scooter Braun, to legendary martial artist and actor Chuck Norris. The singer acknowledged that he was likely leaving someone out, so he simply decided to thank "everybody."
"Biggest thank you in the world to the greatest fans in the world," he wrote. "We did it together and we are just getting started!!!"
Of course, Bieber wasn't the only musician lucky enough to leave the Nokia Theatre with a shiny new trophy. Lady Gaga , for instance, went home with a walloping eight awards, including Best Pop Video, Best Female Video and Video of the Year.
"Too much poetry tonight," Lady G tweeted, along with a photo of herself, after the show was over. "But u love u, + I love I, + we were #bornthisway."
30 Seconds to Mars frontman Jared Leto was equally grateful after winning the Best Rock Video award for "Kings and Queens." "An unforgettable and amazing night," he tweeted. "We are the luckiest band in the world to be able to share our lives with all of you."
Sadly, not everyone was able to claim victory at the VMAs. Drake, who lost Best Hip-Hop Video to Eminem, ended the night with his head held high despite the loss. "Thank you for all the love tonight," he told his Twitter followers. "I had the time of my life."
Hayley Williams of Paramore had a similar outlook, despite losing Best Rock Video and three other awards for her collaboration with B.o.B on "Airplanes." "Even though we didn't win, our time was up on that stage," Williams tweeted. "We had the best time performing. So we still won!"
The Moonmen have all been handed out and the stars have gone home, but there's plenty of 2010 MTV Video Music Awards news, interviews, behind-the-scenes scoop, party reports and more still to come, so keep it locked on MTVNews.com.

Work is under way to repair damage at the Bellevue Medical Center after a stormy weekend.
Officials say strong winds, estimated at nearly 80 mph, damaged the exterior paneling on the northwest corner of the hospital Sunday morning. That damage allowed water to enter an unoccupied portion of the fourth floor, causing cosmetic damage to some patient rooms on the floor below.
The hospital says in a statement Monday that staff moved a small number of patients as a precaution, and no patients or employees were in danger or injured.
Work crews have already started removing loose debris from the property and have brought materials on site to begin repairs.

We created Pandora to put the Music Genome Project directly in your hands
It's a new kind of radio –
stations that play only music you like
Caitlin Cary
Cary grew up in Seville, OH, to a musical family. She started playing violin at a young age and found an early muse in a tape of songs, including "Tennessee Stud" and "Mr. Spaceman," that her musician brother sent back from Alaska. Cary's violin playing lapsed as a teen, but she picked the instrument up again while working on an English degree at Ohio's College of Wooster. After dabbling in performing, she enrolled in North Carolina State's MFA program in creative writing. However, her studies were postponed when, through a friend, Adams found out that Cary played fiddle. The two would go on to front the dynamic country rockers, serving as a sort of '90s Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris. Whiskeytown began dissolving in the late '90s, while the group's final album, Pneumonia, suffered repeated delays. Cary had begun writing songs with guitarist Mike Daly while the two were still touring with Whiskeytown. After witnessing performances by Sheryl Crow and Gillian Welch at the taping of the Sessions at West 54th tribute to Gram Parsons (at which Whiskeytown also performed), Cary made a conscious decision to pursue a solo career. ~ Erik Hage

Homegrown Team: Boston Red Sox
By Matt Snyder
What if players were only permitted to stay with the team that originally made them a professional? No trades, no Rule-5 Draft, no minor or major league free agency ... once you are a professional baseball player, you stay in that organization. This series shows how all 30 teams would look. We give you: Homegrown teams. To view the schedule/past entries of this feature, click here.
One of the main reasons we came up with this exercise was because of the massive amount of fighting in the comments sections over who "buys" their teams instead of drafting and developing their own talent. In some cases, the accusations are true. In others, they aren't. While these Red Sox don't have Adrian Gonzalez or David Ortiz or Josh Beckett, you'll certainly see several key, familiar names.
1. Jacoby Ellsbury, CF
2. Dustin Pedroia, 2B
3. Kevin Youkilis, 3B
4. Hanley Ramirez, DH
5. David Murphy, LF
6. Anthony Rizzo, 1B
7. Jed Lowrie, SS
8. Kelly Shoppach, C
9. Josh Reddick, RF
Starting Rotation
1. Jon Lester
2. Clay Buchholz
3. Justin Masterson
4. Anibal Sanchez
5. Carl Pavano
Closer - Jonathan Papelbon
Set up - Daniel Bard, Rafael Betancourt, Frank Francisco, Hideki Okajima
Long - Kyle Weiland, Daisuke Matsuzaka? (Not sure I could stomach that ... )
Notable Bench Players
Ryan Lavarnway, Lars Anderson, Freddy Sanchez, Engel Beltre
What's Good?
The top of the order is sick. If Hanley Ramirez had one of his good years, that's a top four that few in baseball could match. The entire pitching staff is really, really strong, too. Lester as an ace works fine and Masterson and Sanchez are pretty darn good in those slots. There was one point last season (May) when Sanchez was almost as good as anyone. Then you move into the bullpen and the back-end is what it was in 2011, with Bard and Papelbon. Here, though, we get to add Betancourt and Francisco to the mix. That's quite a bridge to Papelbon, and remember, this with a good rotation.
What's Not?
The lineup thins out quickly. It's not awful by any stretch, because Lowrie, Shoppach and Reddick are a decent 7-9, but Murphy isn't good enough to be a fifth hitter in a great lineup and we still can't be sure how Rizzo pans out. Also, there is no depth, either on the bench or in the bullpen. The onus is entirely on the main guys to shoulder the entire workload.
Comparison to real 2011
Let's avoid all the off-field crap and just focus on the issue at hand. Is this team better than the one that was in the AL playoff race until the final out of the season? The offense isn't as good, that's for sure. Most of the other spots are at least close, but the Rizzo/Gonzalez gap at first base is gigantic. Pitching-wise, though, this group is better, top to bottom. There's no Josh Beckett, but there also isn't a full season of John Lackey with mixed in Dice-K and then the spare-part injury replacements they had to use for most of the season. The real-life Red Sox won 90 games and this group feels like a similar one in terms of wins. It's not elite, but it's pretty good.
Next: Detroit Tigers

Closer look at all 30 closing situations
By C. Trent Rosecrans and Matt Snyder
It appears the first domino in closer market has fallen (at least, we're pretty sure this time), but that leaves Heath Bell and Ryan Madson as the top relievers still available. But who needs a closer? Here's a look at the closing situation for all 30 teams.
AL East
Baltimore Orioles: Kevin Gregg is still under contract -- much to the chagrin of new general manager Dan Duquette's chagrin. Gregg will make $5.8 million in 2012, not exactly ideal for a guy with a WHIP of 1.642 last season and an ERA of 4.37 while picking up 22 saves. Jim Johnson recorded nine saves and threw just 91 innings, but doesn't exactly miss a ton of bats. The Orioles could move Johnson to the rotation.
Red Sox: Well, obviously Papelbon is gone. Papelbon was the Red Sox closer for the last six years, recording the final out of the 2007 World Series among other memories. Still, As untouchable as he was in his first four years as the closer (1.74 ERA and 0.917 WHIP from 2006-2009), he had a 3.43 ERA and 1.104 WHIP over the last two seasons. Daniel Bard is unhittable at times, but struggled in the last two months of the season (which certainly wasn't uncommon among Red Sox), posting a 6.95 ERA in 21 games in August and September.
New York Yankees: Mariano Rivera. Enough said.
Tampa Bay Rays: The Rays let the Yankees overpay for Rafael Soriano and then picked up Kyle Farnsworth off the discard pile, signing him to a two-year, $6 million deal. In retrospect, it was genius -- Farnsworth had 25 saves with a 2.18 ERA in 2011 and the Rays will keep him another year and let someone else overpay him for 2013.
Toronto Blue Jays: Frank Francisco was the team's closer for much of 2011, but he's a free agent and the team could be looking to spend some money on a closer.
AL Central
Chicago White Sox: Right-hander Sergio Santos converted 30 of 36 save opportunities, liming batters to just a .181/.282/.314 slash line and he should be in line to keep his job in 2012. If he falters, Addison Reed has a chance to take over.
Cleveland Indians: Chris Perez is on solid ground as the team's closer, picking up 35 saves in 2011.
Detroit Tigers: The Tigers picked up the $9 million option on Jose Valverde.
Kansas City Royals: The Royals picked up the $6 million option on Joakim Soria and have options for 2013 and 2014.
Minnesota Twins: The Twins declined their $12.5 million option on incumbent Joe Nathan, but have expressed interest in bringing him back. Although his overall numbers -- 4.84 ERA, 1.164 WHIP, 14 saves -- weren't too impressive, he did convert all 11 of his saves in the second half of the season. Left-hander Glen Perkins had two saves in 2011 and struck out 65 batters in 61 2/3 innings. If the team doesn't sign a free agent -- or trade for someone -- Perkins would have the best shot.
AL West
Los Angeles Angels: Jordan Walden recorded 32 saves as a rookie and made the All-Star team. He did blow 10 saves last season, so it wouldn't be a complete shock if the team looked for an upgrade, but it's not expected, especially with tight purse strings this winter. The team could bring in a veteran for cheap that could close if Walden falters.
Oakland Athletics: Andrew Bailey is the team's closer, but a trade is always possible with Oakland.
Seattle Mariners: Brandon League had 37 saves and a 2.79 ERA in 2011.
Texas Rangers: The Rangers could be a wild card in the free agent closer market if they decided to move Neftali Feliz to the rotation. The Rangers tried that last spring but decided to keep Feliz in the bullpen. If they bring in a big-name, that would mean they believe Feliz can make the move. If not, there's still a chance of Mike Adams taking over for Feliz. Or they could bring in a low-cost veteran to have in reserve in case Feliz does work in the rotation.
NL East
Atlanta Braves: Craig Kimbrel. Period.
Miami Marlins: While the artist formerly known as Leo Nunez gets his name issue sorted out, the Marlins have a gaping hole at closer. The current members of their bullpen combined for four saves last season. Do the Marlins try to go with an internal option like Edward Mujica or make a splash on the free agent market (as they've been connected to several huge names already)?
New York Mets: If they stay internally, which is entirely possible, it looks like Bobby Parnell. But he wasn't awesome by any stretch when given save chances last season. The Mets have spent big on a free agent closer before (K-Rod), so would they be gunshy in doing so again? It's possible. But it's also possible they try to land someone like Ryan Madson.
Philadelphia Phillies: Papelbon.
Washington Nationals: Drew Storen closed 43 of 48 games in 2011, his first full season in the majors. One would think that would be enough to earn him at least another year on the job, but Storen's name keeps popping up in trade rumors and the Nationals have been reportedly interested in Madson. The Nats have plenty of money, so if they wanted to ink a big-name closer and deal Storen as part of a package for a center fielder (Denard Span, perhaps?), they would be able to do so.
NL Central
Chicago Cubs: It's probably going to be Carlos Marmol again, but he better get himself in gear. Not only did he blow 10 saves, but his once-astronomical strikeout rate lowered a bit in 2011 and control continues to be a serious problem. With new brass at the helm, 2011 will likely be his last chance to get things fixed.
Cincinnati Reds: Cordero had a great four-year run with the Reds, amassing 150 saves with a 2.96 ERA, but he's a free agent now. Fireballer Aroldis Chapman is ticketed for the starting rotation and Nick Masset seems to be awfully inconsistent. The Reds don't have the money to spend in free agency, so would they make a trade for, say, Huston Street or Andrew Bailey? Seems unlikely. Either Chapman doesn't make it as a starter and sticks as closer or someone internally (23-year-old Brad Boxberger?) gets a shot. This one is totally up in the air.
Houston Astros: Mark Melancon saved 20 games with a 2.78 ERA last season. There are far bigger problems with this team to believe they'll try hard to make a change here.
Milwaukee Brewers: John Axford and his award-winning 'stache.
Pittsburgh Pirates: All-Star Joel Hanrahan nailed down the job last season.
St. Louis Cardinals: Jason Motte was never officially named closer by the stubborn Tony La Russa, but he did more than enough down the stretch and in the playoffs to earn the job for 2012, closing nine of 10 saves during the Cardinals' late run and five more in the postseason.
NL West
Arizona Diamondbacks: It will again be J.J. Putz with David Hernandez filling in if (when?) Putz falls injured.
Colorado Rockies: Street is reportedly on the trading block. If he's is dealt, look for Rafael Betancourt to take over. He collected eight saves with a 2.89 ERA and more than a strikeout per inning in 2011.
Los Angeles Dodgers: Rookie Javy Guerra came on to save 21 games in 23 chances with a 2.31 ERA and 38 strikeouts in 46 2/3 innings in 2011. That's enough to have nailed down the job for the 2011 season, one would think.
San Diego Padres: Bell is a free agent, but the Padres may just offer him arbitration, and he actually might accept it. If he does stay, the choice is obvious. If Bell leaves, there's a decent internal option in Chad Qualls. Qualls, 33, has 51 career saves. As far as free agency, if the Padres want to pay for a closer, they'll be paying for Bell.

Thursday afternoon rumor roundup
By C. Trent Rosecrans
It appears the Padres' Heath Bell may be the next big name off the trade board. CBSSports.com senior writer Scott Miller writes the talks are heating up, but there's still plenty of other trade rumors out there, so here we go:
• The Red Sox are looking at starting pitching, but they are telling team's they're focused on a right-handed-hitting outfielder, CBSSports.com senior writer Danny Knobler tweeted.
• Knobler also reports the Tigers are down to three options for a starter -- Hiroki Kuroda, Aaron Harang and Jeremy Guthrie.
• Have the Red Sox and Mariners matched up for a deal? FoxSports.com's Ken Rosenthal reports the Mariners had two scouts watching the Red Sox's Triple-A team on Wednesday and another eyeing the Double-A team. The Red Sox are "all over" left-hander Erik Bedard, a source told Rosenthal. Boston could also be interested in right-hander Doug Fister or closer Brandon League, too.
• Bell expects to be a Ranger by Friday. Why? His parents are flying in from Texas on Thursday to spend 10 days with his family in San Diego, Bell joked to reporters after Wednesday night's game. Bill Center of the San Diego Union-Tribune also says the Braves, Indians and Reds are the most interested in Ryan Ludwick, but you may want to cross the Indians off the list after they acquired Kosuke Fukudome from the Cubs on Thursday. Sports Illustrated's Jon Heyman tweets that the Philles are also interested.
• After Wednesday's loss to the Rockies, Kuroda -- who has a no-trade clause -- told reporters, "My honest feeling is that I can't fathom wearing another uniform [other] than the Dodgers uniform right now." Still, MLB.com's Ken Gurick writes the Indians, Yankees, Red Sox, Rangers and Tigers are still making a push for the right-hander.
• The Brewers are interested in the Dodgers' Rafael Furcal and Jamey Carroll, but the Dodgers will only trade one of the two, Rosenthal writes. ESPN.com's Jayson Stark said the Giants have talked to Los Angeles about Furcal.
• La Valle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star Tribune says the Twins aren't looking to deal Denard Span, but notes the Nationals may be interested in Ben Revere or prospects Joe Benson and Aaron Hicks.
The rumor on Wednesday was that the teams were considering a Span for Drew Storen trade, but MLB.com's Bill Ladson cites a "baseball source" as saying the Nationals wouldn't do that deal.
• The Twins are looking for bullpen help, FoxSports.com's Tracy Ringolsby writes, and could be targeting the Rockies. Colorado could deal right-handers Rafael Betancourt, Matt Lindstrom and Matt Belisle, and could even give up closer Huston Street for the right price. The Rockies would be interested in Minnesota's Kevin Slowey.
• Rangers manager Ron Washington reiterates his call for bullpen help. The team is apparently interested in Bell and Leo Nunez, with Robbie Erlin and Chris Davis being dangled.
• The Phillies have given up on getting Houston's Hunter Pence, Heyman tweets. The Braves are the last team in on Pence, he said.
• The Mariners will be busy selling off pieces between now and Sunday's deadline, Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times writes.
• The Cardinals are focusing on middle-infield help, Rosenthal tweets, as shortstop Ryan Theriot struggles.For more baseball news, rumors and analysis, follow @cbssportsmlb on Twitter or subscribe to the RSS feed.

Trade Deadline Primer: NL West
By Matt Snyder
We conclude our series of primers for the MLB trade deadline with the home of the defending World Series champions: The NL West. It feels pretty obvious here, as there are two teams in it, two definitely out of it and one just kind of lingering in mediocrity.
San Francisco Giants
Status: Buyers.
Needs: Offense. Offense. Offense.
Notes: The Giants did already trade for Jeff Keppinger and promoted prospect Brandon Belt to the majors in an attempt to jumpstart their offense. Still, they may not be done. Outfield, shortstop and catcher would seem the obvious spots where an offensive upgrade would help, and the word is they'd rather add salary than give up prospects. Carlos Beltran's name has been prominent when it comes to the Giants making a move, but B.J. Upton's name has surfaced as a possible alternative. Plus, general manager Brian Sabean told reporters the Giants aren't close to getting Beltran (SFgate.com). Ivan Rodriguez would make sense as a half-season rental behind the plate, but he's injured and not coming back anytime soon. Sabean also recently said he wants to significantly upgrade the offense, but doesn't feel as if any moves are imminent (MLB.com). So it sounds as if the Giants will be quiet at least for the first half of this week. But remember, the July 31 deadline is only a non-waiver trade deadline. Players can pass through waivers and be traded in August, and that's how the Giants landed postseason hero Cody Ross last season.
Status: Buyers.
Needs: Pitching. Big bat.
Notes: The Snakes are reportedly after pitching of all kinds (Fox Sports). Wandy Rodriguez's name has come up in rumors, but the Astros have been said to be asking for a lot in return. Maybe the asking price comes down as the deadline gets closer. He's really the only starting pitcher heavily involved in rumors to the D-Backs. Otherwise, it's been all relievers' names that have surfaced. Buster Olney of ESPN.com reports the D-Backs are focused on less-expensive, veteran relief pitchers. The following names have all been connected in at least semi-legitimate rumors: Jason Isringhausen, Kerry Wood, Brad Ziegler, Jason Frasor, Frank Francisco, Octavio Dotel, Jon Rauch. Obviously, there are bound to be more guys on the radar of the D-Backs and not all those names would work. Wood, for example, is very unlikely to leave Chicago. Basically, it sounds as if the Diamondbacks will be relatively quiet as they tinker a bit with the bullpen. But things can easily change. UPDATE: Shortly after this posting, the Diamondbacks were reported to be a great fit for Cubs first baseman Carlos Pena.
Colorado Rockies
Status: Sellers.
Players available: Ian Stewart, Chris Iannetta, Huston Street, Rafael Betancourt, Jason Giambi, Matt Belisle, Ty Wigginton, Aaron Cook ... Ubaldo Jimenez?
Notes: Well, the big name here is obviously Jimenez, but the Rockies want an absolute killing in return. It would actually be pretty shocking to see him dealt, as it seems as if his name was only floated so the Rockies could get a realistic reading of his value. Instead, the focus with Rockies rumors should be more on the players most likely to be traded. There aren't many quality catchers on the open market, and Iannetta is reportedly expendable because of minor-league backstops Jordan Pacheco and Wilin Rosario, according to Peter Gammons of MLB Network. MLB.com reports that Street, Belisle and Betancourt are available for the right price, also adding that Cook could be had -- if anyone would want him. Tracy Ringolsby of Fox Sports reported that the Rockies are fielding calls about Street and Betancourt, and also threw Ryan Spilborghs in the mix. Troy Renck of the Denver Post echoed a few of the above names and also threw in Ty Wigginton. Gammons then reported the Rockies aren't interested in moving Spilborghs. Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports has reported that Jason Giambi is garnering interest. Though the slugger reportedly wants to stay, he'll discuss any possible moves with the ballclub. Finally, one-time prospect Ian Stewart cannot seem to get things going and a change of scenery would probably be in the best interest of all involved parties. Jim Armstrong of the Denver Post reports the Rockies had been playing Stewart more frequently than usual because they were hoping another team saw something it liked and dealt for him. To sum things up, the Rockies are out of the race this season, but have a strong, young core and could easily compete in 2012. They'll likely only sell pieces that aren't part of the nucleus or could be replaced.
Los Angeles Dodgers
Status: Sellers.
Players available: Hiroki Kuroda, Rafael Furcal, Jamey Carroll.
Notes: If you're pining for your favorite team to land Matt Kemp in a blockbuster deal, you're going to be doing so for quite a long time. Kemp -- along with Clayton Kershaw, Chad Billingsley, Rubby De La Rosa and Dee Gordon -- is unavailable as part of the future nucleus (MLB.com). Note the absence of Andre Ethier's name on that list. His name hasn't popped up much in legitimate rumors, but you never know. The Dodgers are pressed for money, and he's due a decent chunk next season before becoming a free agent after 2012. Much of the focus here has centered on Kuroda, though, and he's the most likely to be moved. General manager Ned Colletti has said he's ready to start dealing and is looking at 2012 (OC Register), so any prospects coming back would have to be nearly major-league ready. The Tigers are reportedly front-runners for Kuroda (Jeff Passan of Yahoo!), with the Brewers, Rangers and Indians in the mix. The Red Sox and Yankees are also reportedly interested, but Kuroda has said he's unsure if he wants to go to the East Coast and may use his no-trade clause to avoid the situation. Of course, now he's saying he's keeping his options open (Fox Sports). CBSSports.com's Danny Knobler notes that a trade might only be for two months, as Kuroda's a free agent at season's end and the Dodgers could just sign him back. Knobler said the Dodgers expect Kuroda to be pitching with them in 2012, if he stays in America. There have been whispers about Carroll heading to the Brewers and Furcal is surely available if a contender wants to take a shot at him staying healthy. Simply put, expect the Dodgers to be aggressive in dealing parts that aren't essential to building a contender for next season.
San Diego Padres
Status: Sellers.
Players available: Heath Bell, Ryan Ludwick, Mike Adams, Aaron Harang, Chad Qualls and maybe more.
Notes: We talked to Corey Brock of MLB.com -- the Padres beat writer -- and he said they love Adams, see him as a possible replacement for Bell, but he's not off the table. Brock also said they need a young, controllable shortstop and a catcher. General manager Jed Hoyer reportedly said he's going to make multiple deals to get prospects and the ballclub is not in the position to have any untouchables (Marty Caswell). As far as Adams goes, we've seen a report that he's not going to be traded and a report that the report wasn't true. So, yeah, your guess is as good as ours. Jerry Crasnick of ESPN reports that the Padres' trade talks are focusing on moving Bell, Qualls, Ludwick and Harang. Crasnick also notes that Jason Bartlett is going to remain in San Diego. On the other hand, Bell himself has said he expects to be traded. The Tigers have been said to be interested in Harang heavily, which is interesting because of the Kuroda-to-Tigers rumors. Ludwick has been connected to the Indians, Red Sox, Phillies, Reds and more. Adams and Bell have been rumored to pretty much every team in the race that is seeking bullpen help. The bottom line is that the Padres look to be the busiest team in the division and are looking to stock their farm system.

Norfleet, daughter of racing veteran Bobby Norfleet, made her debut in August. Earlier this month, she started in the ARCA racing series, which serves as a stepping stone to the major NASCAR events. Wouldn't it be great if Norfleet was in the pole position one day like trailblazer Danica Patrick was Sunday for the Daytona 500?
Patrick finished 8th, the highest finishing spot for a woman. Norfleet has aspirations to smash records one day.

Jarrett Jack's Most Expressive Brow of the Year campaign is going swimmingly. (Getty Images)
It better be, Jarrett Jack. Because if it's not something that is legitimately scarier than Kevin Durant blowing past you for an in-between jumper that he cans right just about 50 percent of the time (thanks, Hoopdata shot location numbers!), then coach Monty Williams and your New Orleans Hornets teammates are going to be very, very cross with you.
If it is a ghost, though, don't sweat it, because I don't care how tough your boys say they are -- they ARE afraid of no ghost. (I mean ... whatever. You know what I mean.)
If it's not, though, then what's got Jarrett Jack so spooked? Best caption wins precisely the kind of proton pack you need to take care of any spectral situation. Good luck
In our last adventure: Sorry, Paul Silas, but your coaching directives are nowhere near as fascinating to Tyrus Thomas as that kid in the third row who literally has chocolate milkshake all over his face. Like, seriously, there's a LOT on his forehead. What are you even doing, kid?
'If you don't snap out of this trance by the count of three, I'm giving all your minutes to Najera. No matter what …
Runner-up, ... but it doesn't tell the truth either: Tyrus Thomas explains what's been holding him back his whole career without saying a single word.
Second runner-up, Russell S: Silas: "Tyrus ... I want to focus your eyes on the end of my finger. Tyrus ... TYRUS! Keep your eyes on the end of my finger ... good ... good! Now, I want you to show the same focus out there on the court."
Tyrus: "But Coach, if I keep looking at the end of your finger, I won't be able to score or grab a rebound."
Silas: "Touché."

Some local officials believe natural gas can help mine coal in Eastern Kentucky.
A company has developed surface mining trucks that can operate on natural gas fuel instead of diesel.
Company officials made the announcement in Pike County Wednesday morning.
Officials believe this new technology will save money and is better for the environment.
The natural gas mining equipment was tested in other countries like Thailand and is now being tested in Harlan County.
Officials say the large trucks operate with more than 60 percent natural gas without a loss of performance.
They say four thousand engines in other parts of the world use this technology.
Local leaders believe using the region's natural gas to fuel coal mining equipment will help the entire region on both cost and the environment.
"Natural gas is a lot cheaper than diesel. There are great savings to incur the return investment on converting, happens very fast with the difference in fuel price." says Elio Muller with Gaseous Fuel Systems Corporation.
Gaseous Fuel Systems Corporation is planning to launch them for commercial use next year.
Company officials say they chose Eastern Kentucky because of the many surface mines here.

The resulting patterns are 250 times more conductive than previous attempts to print graphene-based electronic patterns and could be a step toward low-cost, foldable electronics.
A paper describing the research, "Inkjet Printing of High Conductivity, Flexible Graphene Patterns," was published April 8 in the Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters.
"Graphene has a unique combination of properties that is ideal for next-generation electronics, including high electrical conductivity, mechanical flexibility, and chemical stability," said Mark Hersam, professor of materials science and engineering at Northwestern's McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science. "By formulating an inkjet-printable ink based on graphene, we now have an inexpensive and scalable path for exploiting these properties in real-world technologies."
Inkjet printing has previously been explored as a method for fabricating transistors, solar cells, and other electronic components. It is inexpensive, capable of printing large areas, and can create patterns on a variety of substrates, making it an attractive option for next-generation electronics.
Inkjet printing with graphene — ultra-thin sheets of carbon with exceptional strength and conductivity — is extremely promising, but it has remained a challenge because it is difficult to harvest a sufficient amount of graphene without compromising its electronic properties. Exfoliating, or breaking apart, materials such as graphite often require oxidizing conditions that make the resulting graphene oxide material less conductive than pure carbon. Pristine unoxidized graphene can be achieved through exfoliation, but the process requires solvents whose residues also decrease conductivity.
The Northwestern researchers have developed a new method for mass-producing graphene that maintains its conductivity and can be carried out at room temperature using ethanol and ethyl cellulose to exfoliate graphite. This relatively clean process minimizes residues and results in a powder with a high concentration of nanometer-sized graphene flakes, which is then mixed into a solvent to create the ink.
The researchers demonstrated printing the ink in multiple layers, each 14 nanometers thick, to create precise patterns. The ink's conductivity remains virtually unchanged, even when bent to a great degree, suggesting that graphene inks could be used to create foldable electronic devices in the future.
