For sure. But even a very thin pyro negative (almost transparent) has much more meat and contrast than expected. Way more. So there is really something magical with that stain, whichever it is.

With Pyro negs I can confirm that 0 or 00 is not great with Ilford WT .

I leave the digital work for the urologists and proctologists.
The density, and density range (ie contrast) of the stained negative is higher than it looks upon visual inspection since your eye is only evaluating the silver density. This says nothing about what filter to use. It depends how you develop the negative. It's hard to compare it to a non-stained negative and bridge it with a filter change because, again, the stain is a variable quasi-compensating filter.
Contrast with a Pyro negative will typically be higher on graded paper than VC paper
This is why I use mostly graded papers, to get contrast. And when it's VC it's in lith so filter doesn't mean much for me.

The term "staining" being used so loosely is causing the confusion. Staining happens during development, and it is proportional to density. Staining can also happen in a post-fixer bath, in which case it is not proportional to density IME. So I would say that based on my own negatives, Per is right, if you clarify that he was talking about the staining that happens during development, and Sandy is right, if you clarify that he is talking about the post-fixer staining bath. I only use the post-fixer staining bath if I want to add fog (which can actually be quite useful sometimes). Otherwise, I do not.

You can all worry to much about the type of stain, effect of stain etc. But those of us using these developers see advantages for our work with practical experience sometimes there's too many theoretical explanations usually by inexperienced usewrs.

But Ian, don't you agree that there can be some important differences for those that want the last bit of print quality in high contrast lighting?
When I used Pyrocat I shot in early morning sun mostly, with some wicked brightness ranges, from deep shadow to directly sunlit partially white walls. I could have worked with Xtol to get the general contrast correct, but to get the highlights to pop, I needed that extra detail, and it worked very well in my opinion.
Attached example is Tri-X 400 film, Pyrocat-MC at 1+1+100 / 70*F / 13m - agitate full first minute and then two inversions every 3 minutes. Printed on Kentmere Bromide Grade 2 paper. Pretty much a straight print with little manipulation. I have used this negative to print on Ilford MGIV as well, and if I remember correctly I had filtration set at Grade 3 or 3.5. Haven't tried split grade printing it yet.

I'm talking about characteristics, that's all, not things to be worried about, not good or bad or yes you should use this and don't use that etc.

Super sharp, but extreme edge sharpness on these portraits on grey background.
I am not talking about In the American West or his work on white backgrounds.
Not sure if anyone else ever noticed this and I wonder how he made the negs.
Bob, I swear I heard somewhere that early on (not sure as early as that Marilyn portrait) Avedon's studio used 777 (replenished of course) but then later switched the tanks to D-76. But I can't remember at all where I heard or read it...so just more internet hearsay unfortunately.
But YES, Penn and Avedon pushed envelopes. Not many people appreciate any longer how groundbreaking their work was creatively and technically. Avedon's size. And Penn's platinum. I mean, any chance to see his platinum work is an inspiration in craft...and then to hear he did some of them from color film and the such is insane. No scanners and digi negs out at his Long Island darkroom.

So what I'm saying is that if you look at the negative, the highlight areas might look comparitively thin (ie overall contrast looks low) while in printing the combined optical/spectral density of the silver and stain might be normal. So all we're talking about here is the fact with a pyro negative the density is a combination of silver and stain.
Above quote is right on and may well offer some insight to why many are seeing a need to bump contrast filtration with Pyro negs.
My experience tells me that Pyro developed negs do not like heavy exposure, this tends to move much of what we saw as dark tones in the original scene to move up onto the straight line and be impacted by development and in the case of pyro, increased stain. This is also the exact reason I do not redevelop pyro negs in used developer, the stain compromises mid tone / edge contrast and that is the single most difficult component of printing to get correct.
For me personally, my pre pyro negs were heavy and required a lot of manipulation in the darkroom with graded paper to get the effect I was looking for.
I find quite the opposite with Pyro negs and Multi Contrast paper, a well exposed, almost @ manufacturer's box speed and developed to a lower contrast index to yield some of the finest prints I have seen.
I use exclusively Pyrocat HD, the first stuff Sandy formulated and find it works well with continuous agitation or with reduced agitation regimes. I mix it from powder (the most toxic as dust can cause respiratory problems), once in liquid form it is quite safe and extremely inexpensive.
Sandy King has spend untold hours and research on formulating Pyrocat, I cannot understand the debate about developers!

Shiloh Jolie-Pitt Turns 6: Her Cutest Moments!
Happy Birthday, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt!
On Sunday, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's eldest biological daughter turns six, and Us Weekly is celebrating the tot's special day by looking back at her cutest moments to date.
In addition to wearing her older brother Maddox's hand-me-downs (she's sporting his Ramones shirt in the pic above), Shiloh is always the quickest out of the Jolie-Pitt brood to put on a funny face for the cameras.
PHOTOS: Shiloh Jolie-Pitt's adorable style
As for her style -- boys clothing -- mom Angelina, who just got engaged to longtime partner Brad last month, says that Shiloh is definitely one of a kind.
"Shiloh, we, feel, has Montenegro style," the mom of six told Vanity Fair in 2010. "It's how people dress there. She likes tracksuits, she likes [regular] suits. She likes to dress like a boy. She wants to be a boy. So we had to cut her hair. She likes to wear boys' everything. She thinks she's one of the brothers."
PHOTOS: How the Jolie-Pitt kids have grown!
Jolie also told the British magazine Stylist: "I want [Shiloh] to do what's in her heart and what's in her heart is to dress like that, I think it's beautiful."
VOTE: Which celeb tot has better style - Shiloh or Suri Cruise?

Who doesn't love finding a bargain? Why should planning for a party be any different? Whether it's an imminent family birthday or a seasonal gathering, we offer a few ideas to help keep costs down and still throw a memorable party.
Never be afraid to to stock up and fill the cupboard with cheap essentials, so take advantage of any sales you come across. Celebration banners which will cover all your favourite birthday celebrations, to be hung over a birthday tea table, the garden fence at a summer BBQ or even above your bed when they bring your breakfast on a tray!
Balloons are useful at many occasions, so go for packs of multi-coloured ones to use throughout the year. Sort though large mixed bags and keep specific colours for certain events, such as orange and purple for Halloween. Make decorations from things you find around the house; keep scraps of coloured tissue from Christmas and birthday presents and cut them into flower or other shapes to string onto homemade garlands or wrap with wire and put in table centres.
If you have children of different ages, go for party themes that suit as many age groups and tastes as possible, like an animal-themed party or one based around a favourite character or book, and double up on supplies. When you are buying, opt for bright plain colours which you can adapt to many different themes. Usually you will find good deals the more you buy and that way you get it all done at once! From invitations to tableware you can also mix themes and colours in one party, especially when catering for much younger children.
Invest in a few staples that you can use again and again, such as plastic serving trays, dishes and cake stands. Nothing says celebration quite like bunting, so have a couple of different colours on hand, and reuse for your next event. A high quality personalised banner can be used again and again if you choose not to add an age onto it. If you arrange a Sweetie Bar at your party, use glass jars which can be used at another event.
Party-bag fillers are great things to buy when you see a bargain, keeping a well stocked present can mean you don't need to spend so much before the party. There is an array of different products which are cross-seasonal and fun, for everyone, such as bubbles and stickers. For larger numbers, party bag kits are a sensible option and will save you both time and money.
Do you have any top tips for money-saving party planning? We'd love to know what they are!

Caravan was very nice
Great caravan, well equipped with everything we needed. Wife and kids were very comfortable in the beds, myself not so much (but I have a bad back) but it wasn't an unpleasant experience, just not 100% suited to my back.
The living space was very pleasant, plenty of room and comfortable.
The shower was really nice, but the room did steam very easily despite the shower being cool and window as wide as it could go, had to wait to shave, but again, this is me being particular and fussy.
The site was modern and very clean and in the words of my Son "our caravan was lovely" I thought the complimentary items incl drinks, kitchen & bathroom essentials were a thoughtful touch . The staff were really friendly & helpful. There is plenty to do if you want it and the beach is only minutes away. I would definitely recommend it and look forward to going back as soon as we can (for longer!).

Needs more facilities for the size of the camp. Club very small, shut on the Sunday night.
My only issue is they need more parking spaces for cars.
Family of 5, had a fantastic time! Thank you. Caravan was spotlessly clean and warm for october half term. Food in Restraunt was very expensive, however it did seem high quality. Good selection o activities for kids. Never understand why feel the need to punish working families with school aged children though, we paid triple price for October half term and next year shall save the money an take kids out of school.aside from the cost, and had a perfect holiday, thank you.
Very clean site & excellent caravan. Leisure amenities & go active good, evening entertainment poor.
Facilities are far too small for size of site. Never a seat in club etc. Staff lovely and very helpful reception staff
Liked it so much I bought a holiday home.

Riley fills vacancies on boards of trustees
Governor rescinds Cramer appointment
Published: Saturday, March 1, 2008 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 29, 2008 at 10:31 p.m.
MONTGOMERY Gov. Bob Riley has filled vacancies on the boards of trustees of Jacksonville State University and the University of North Alabama, but he had to rescind his appointment of U.S. Rep. Bud Cramer to UNAs board because he cant serve.
In other appointments, Riley named Tuscaloosa investment adviser Thomas W. Dedrick Sr. and insurance executive Randy Jones of Madison to the JSU board. He also appointed Rodney Howard, president of First Metro Bank in Colbert County, to the UNA board.
Cramer, D-Huntsville, last year resigned from the board of trustees of JSU, citing new U.S. House conflict-of-interest rules, according to his letter of resignation.
Riley inadvertently appointed Cramer to UNAs board recently. When told by the New York Times Regional Newspapers of his resignation from JSUs board, Riley withdrew the UNA appointment.
The governor did talk to Congressman Cramer, who said he wanted to serve on the UNA board, Riley spokes-woman Tara Hutchison said Friday. But now after reviewing the ethics rules in Congress, it appears he cannot serve, so the governor will be appointing someone else to this position.
Cramer said he appreciated Rileys consideration and it would have been an honor to serve, but he had to decline.
As North Alabamas congressman, I am able to advocate for UNA without any appearance of potential conflicts of interest, Cramer said in a statement. I look forward to working with Gov. Riley in continuing our support of UNA and the interests of North Alabama.
Ethics rules do not specifically prohibit members of Congress from serving on non-paying volunteer or university boards of trustees.
Dedrick, 49, is a 1981 graduate of Morris Brown College in Atlanta, where he was an All Conference football player. He said he was signed by the Seattle Seahawks but didnt make the team.

Mithu Sen: Border Unseen
If you look at these photos of Mithu Sen's Border Unseen and think, "Why the hell do I need see this?" you're certainly not alone. On the other hand, if you can't seem to look away, I won't judge you either.
The Bull on Mack Avenue
I don't really want an explanation for the oversized bull's head that looms over an empty storefront along Mack Avenue. The intrigue and mystery are almost certainly more interesting than any historical account could provide.

With the final lecture now passed, I pick my five favorite posters from Taubman College's Winter 2013 series on organization. Plus: A bonus sixth poster just for good measure.

Adam Smith of synecdoche has created a very cool video for students admitted to Taubman College at the University of Michigan. Naturally, it involves a robot.

Taubman College Winter 2013 Lecture Series
A Return Visit to the Packard Plant
Photographs from the Packard Plant, designed by Albert Kahn in 1903 and completed in 1911. The 3,500,000 sq. ft. factory stopped producing automobiles in 1958, and has been vacant since the late-1990s. In addition to being a prototype for modern assembly-line factories, it was the first use of reinforced concrete for industrial construction in Detroit.
A Redhead in Detroit
Jeff came to visit. After all the fun he had in Flint, we decided it was time for his Detroit initiation. The first site on the list: The Packard Plant.
Driving Through Manaus
An uncurated photographic journey into, and out of, the Industrial Pole of Manaus as seen from the rear seat of a Chevy Volt.
Street Scenes from a Circuitous Arrival
Our flight into Manaus was direct and uneventful. Our drive to the hotel was anything but. After getting separated from the lead car—the one with hotel directions—we futilely attempted to navigate our way through the city.
Bertrand Goldberg In Color
For years Northwestern University has been trying to rid themselves of the Prentice Women's Hospital, Bertrand Goldberg's brutalist flower located on the university's downtown Medical Campus. Its demolition now appears imminent. The building's supporters face an uphill challenge to protect it from the wrecking ball, which is precisely why they should not demand its wholesale preservation.
The Packard Plant
After Michigan Central Station—the hulking husk of Detroit's long-defunct beaux arts train depot—the Packard Plant may be the city's most identifiable industrial ruin.
Eulogies For My Father
My father passed away on April 16th, 2012. He was a journalist. In speeches given at his memorial services, his friends and family remembered him. They are transcribed here.
Links: Musical China
Two musical videos—no, not music videos—from the People's Republic.

Last Night at the Studio
The last night at the studio means it's already a late one.
More Cats
After a few too many days indoors, breaking out of the office for fresh air was necessary, even if it meant sitting no further than a few steps from the office door. With progress to be made and a light mist gently falling, this ingenious and waterproof workspace was all set up for putting in some solid hours. That is, until Garfield decided to update his Facebook status.
Working Conditions
The first week is always a little rough, but this is the first time I've ever had my stuff urinated on. Also, don't be surprised if I come back with a shaved head.
Links: Back in China
The Internet service provider for 258 Caochangdi withdrew high-speed service recently—a curious, and probably not coincidental development—and now the office is left with only dial-up. After visiting the courtyard outside B.A.S.E. the last few days the studio's power card has finally run up. Timezone 8, an American-owned bookstore and cafe, is my last refuge for the Internet. I get a "Manhattan." You get these links.
Post-China Reading
There are no shortage interesting stories in the Chinese news this week where dissent is bubbling over from the high-speed rail crash, and the one-child policy has come under question. The strangest news, however, remains in the United States, where a subsidiary of Goldman Sachs is making millions from storing aluminum in warehouses in Detroit. Yes, you read that right. Detroit.
Beijing's Public Toilets
"If you have to shit, shit! If you have to fart, fart! You will feel much better for it." – Mao Zedong
Ambiguous Interiors
Absent a window, our hostel found an inventive way to blur the distinction between private and public space.
Breakneck Speed
Making our way home, Geoff and I rode one of China's new bullet trains from Shanghai to Beijing, cruising at speeds upward of 175 miles per hour. It was an experience was thrilling for its seamless convenience as much as its novelty. The only other
No Reason
I came across these two images in succession (from separate sources) and thought that they seemed oddly related. Maybe they're just odd. Either way, I'm amused.

Economic forecasts for the architecture profession are not very optimistic. Might it be time to look for a new field?
Taubman College Winter 2011 Lecture Series
Taubman College always does an exceptional job assembling a lecture series of relevant speakers around a coherent and topical theme. This semester's series, Discipline, appears to be no different.
Detroit Parking Deck
One does not lack for parking options in downtown Detroit. A few photos from the rooftop of an empty parking garage.
The Sky Is Falling
If the polls are to be believed, today's midterm elections will be dispiriting for anyone on the left side of the political spectrum. If you want to wallow in your (and my) sorrow, read these links.
Architecture School Rankings
I'm always skeptical of school rankings, especially those based employer-response surveys. This year, however, I'll suspend my cynicism and simply enjoy that the University of Michigan's Taubman College was ranked the top architecture program in the country.
The CPA Building
The CPA building in Detroit's Corktown neighborhood was originally home to a union organization for railway conductors. It has been vacant for the last five years.
Links: Chicago, City of Superlatives
I'm jumping on Amtrak's evening train—the Wolverine—to Chicago for the weekend. The name of the cross-Michigan line should tell you everthing you need to know about the University's position in hierarchy of state institutions. I, however, am looking forward to seeing buildings more than four stories tall. In that vein, this week's links will be Chicago themed.
The Trouble With Bike Lanes
Bike lanes have revealed deeply-entrenched differences between cyclists and biking commuters. But do they really make people less safe?
Fenty Postmortem
For a candidate that just ousted Washington, D.C.'s incumbent mayor, the reception to the presumptive soon-to-be mayor, Vincent Gray, couldn't be less enthusiastic. How Adrian Fenty managed to lose his mayoral office despite driving considerable progress in the District.

Nuevo Centro, Valencia
Our hotel's rooftop pool promised a view. We didn't ask what of. The worn texture of the Nuevo Centro parking garage proved to an unexpected surprise.
Jardín del Turia
In 1957, a catastrophic flood devastated the Spanish city of Valencia. City leaders responded by redirecting the river west of its borders. The old riverbed became a nine-kilometer long garden.
Torre Agbar
During the day, Jean Nouvel's Torre Agbar in Barcelona remains a muted mosaic of reds and blues. At night, it rises above the Catalan city as a colorful beacon.

We took a cable car up to Montserrat, home of the Benedictine abbey, Santa Maria de Montserrat. The abbey is the site of the Virgin of Montserrat sanctuary which has been identified as a possible location of the Holy Grail. Eternal life was not found, but the views were nice.
Parc Güell
A short visit to Gaudi's architectural garden on El Carmel hill in Barcelona's Gràcia district. Construction on the complex began in 1900 and was completed in 1914.
Barcelona Pavilion
Architect: Ludwig Mies van der Rohe Location: Barcelona, ES Date: 1938; reconstructed in 1986
Casa Mila
Photographs of Antoni Gaudi's canonical Casa Mila from 1907.
Fundacio Juan Miro
Photographs of Spanish architect Josep Luis Sert's Fundacio Joan Miro. Completed in 1968, the project was built nearly three decades after Sert emigrated to the United States, where he was Dean of Harvard's Graduate School of Design from 1953–1969.
End of Week Links
Tax revenue from downtown mixed-use developments is higher than big boxes and malls, transit isn't the only form of transportation that is heavily subsidized, and my former employer, the Montgomery County Planning Department, is closing its doors for two weeks to maximize the savings from furlough days.
Sustainable Sporting Events?
Nearly a month before the Spanish team claimed victory at the World Cup, Metropolis magazine proclaimed international soccer's most prestigious competition an "ecological disaster." Perhaps they overreacted a bit.
Embracing Social Media
I'll be the first to admit that I'm addicted to my computer, and to a lesser extent, the internet. Take one away from me and the separation anxiety becomes almost too great to bear. As if I didn't spend enough time online, here I go starting a blog. What am I thinking?

The Canadian-built robot handyman aboard the International Space Station is attempting to demonstrate for the first time that a machine can carry out the delicate task of refuelling a satellite in orbit.
Throughout the process Dextre will be attached to the end of Canadarm2, the robotic arm outside the ISS that helps with assembly and maintenance.
the 3.65-metre tall robot, with a mass of 1,560 kilograms, started the first of what's expected to be a five-day mission to demonstrate how a satellite can be safely refuelled.
Refuelling satellites could save millions
"The ability to refuel satellites in space could one day save satellite operators from the significant costs of building and launching new replacement satellites," says the CSA.

Picture: James Franco The 68th Venice Film Festival - Day 5 - Celebrity Sightings Venice, Italy - 04.09.11
Actor James Franco has pulled out as the co-owner of a Los Angeles bar, eight months after hosting a private post-Oscars party at the venue.
The star revealed he was a partner in The Writer's Room earlier this year (11) and celebrated his Oscars hosting stint and the success of his film 127 Hours with a small bash at the new drinking establishment in February (11).
But the bar never opened to the public and Franco has since withdrawn from the venture, which launched on Thursday (13Oct11) under new owners.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall star Jason Segel and actor Jack Huston have now become investors in The Writer's Room and they were on hand to celebrate the big opening with celebrity pals Ryan Phillippe, Mad Men hunk Jon Hamm, actress Rashida Jones and Glee's Darren Criss.

One other thing is to not try and make the cut in one go - take 2 or 3 cuts to make it all the way through the mount board. I have a cheaper cutter and find that trying to cut in one swipe causes problems: probably because the blade flexes under the pressure.

Apr 07, 2015 Digs, Fieldwork Comments Off on Plumpton Roman Villa
First identified in 1973, when ploughing exposed the chalk wall lines. A Resistivity survey was carried out in 2000 by members of the Mid Sussex Field Archaeological Team (MSFAT), which showed a rectangular building with projecting wings at each end.
A Magnetometry survey, carried out on a larger scale than the Resistivity survey was undertaken in order to establish the full extent of the site, and revealed that the villa building was located within a large ditched enclosure, and comprised at least two phases of building, with possible evidence for hypocaust systems and in-situ floors or rubble dumps.
The first phase of excavation, targeting at the centre of the villa was carried out over the summer of 2014 by volunteers and students of the Sussex School of Archaeology. This revealed chalk and flint foundations of a substantial structure, with an outer corridor and three rooms in one trench, and a possible bath complex in another.
The 2015 summer excavation hopes to expand on our knowledge of the villa, and aims to find the extent of the east and west wings.
Excavation Training Course: five days £190, or £180 for friends of the Sussex School of Archaeology.
Volunteers must be Friends of the Sussex School of Archaeology – £5 a day to volunteer.
Volunteer courses will run for 6 weeks, beginning 22nd June 2015.
Training courses will run for 5 weeks, beginning 29th June 2015.
Details to become a Friend of the SSA can be found on our website under 'The Team'.
During the 5 week excavation, further day courses will be running at the site:
Friends of the SSA receive £5 off the listed courses.

Encouraging Numbers, but We're Not Celebrating Yet
Today's jobs report tells the story of a solid and steady economic recovery delivering more opportunity for more people. We saw 192,000 new jobs in the month of March, and the private sector has now created 8.9 million jobs over the last 49 consecutive months of employment growth. The unemployment rate held steady at 6.7 percent and is down from 7.5 percent a year ago.
There is encouraging news across sectors. Health care employment increased by 19,000 jobs. The average workweek in manufacturing rebounded to 42.0 hours, tied for the highest mark since July 1945. Motor vehicle sales had their strongest month in seven years. At the height of the recession, there were six job seekers for every job available. Today, it's 2 1/2 people competing for every open job.
Without question, there is more still to do. On issues from infrastructure to immigration reform, from manufacturing to the minimum wage, there are steps Congress can take that will help more people punch their ticket to the middle class.
For the 57th straight month (since the middle of 2009), at least one-third of jobless Americans have been unemployed for more than 27 weeks. So, priority No. 1 must be for the House and Senate to extend emergency unemployment benefits that they irresponsibly allowed to expire more than three months ago, creating profound hardship for 2.3 million people. These benefits are a critical lifeline for job seekers struggling to get back on their feet; but they also act as a broader economic stimulus, putting money in people's pockets and spurring consumer demand.
The success of the Affordable Care Act is helping working families enjoy greater economic security, the peace of mind of knowing they won't be wiped out by an injury or illness. The open enrollment period ended with 7.1 million people signing up for health coverage they didn't have before. The ACA will help provide a shot in the arm to the economy, as people are free to start their own businesses and pursue entrepreneurial ventures now that their health insurance is no longer tied to their job.

Columbus, OH (Sports Network) - Sergei Bobrovsky recorded his fourth shutout of the season with 30 saves as the Columbus Blue Jackets downed the road-weary San Jose Sharks, 4-0, at Nationwide Arena.
Marian Gaborik recorded a goal and an assist, while James Wisniewski, Matt Calvert and Ryan Johansen also lit the lamp in the victory.
The Blue Jackets had their 12-game point streak at Nationwide Arena come to an end Sunday against Minnesota, but recovered nicely to stay in playoff contention. They are currently two points behind the Red Wings for eighth place in the Western Conference standings.
"We realize we have to win some hockey games," Calvert said. "We're not out of the race yet."
The Sharks have also been a menace on their home ice, but fell to 6-11-2 away from HP Pavilion. They sit as the No. 5 seed in the West.
Antti Niemi was pulled in the third period after giving up four goals on 26 shots. The first goal the netminder allowed came at the 8:39 mark of the opening period, as he stuffed Cam Atkinson's wraparound attempt but couldn't get a glove on Calvert's chip-in.
Wisniewski extended Columbus' lead 3:09 into the second stanza when he one- timed Adrian Aucoin's pass and found the back of the net from the point.
Less than two minutes later, Gaborik drew two defenders into the right circle and passed to an open Johansen for a snap shot that lit the lamp at the 5:05 mark.
Gaborik's backhander ended Niemi's night with 12:44 remaining in regulation, sealing San Jose's second straight loss on the heels of its seven-game win streak.
"We looked kind of flat," Sharks defenseman Brad Stuart said. "We have to put it on ourselves to be ready and on top of our game when the puck drops."
Columbus improved to 10-0-0 when leading after two periods ... All four of
Bobrovsky's career shutouts have come this season ... The Sharks are 14-1-5 at
home ... Thomas Greiss relieved Niemi and made four saves ... The Blue Jackets
finish their three-game homestand against the Blues on Friday ... San Jose
stays on the road and plays at Detroit on Thursday.
Pope Francis' visit to Philadelphia in September has altered the date of the Penn-Villanova football game.
Kyle Busch won Sunday's road course race in Sonoma, California, but he still has a long way to go to become eligible for a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.
NFL players have a very short shelf life to make significant amounts of money so it's tough to fault anyone who has outperformed a contract when they go knocking on the door to ask for more.
Pete Mackanin will remain interim manager of the Philadelphia Phillies for the remainder of the season, the team announced Tuesday.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have reportedly retained restricted free agent forward Kyle Singler with a five-year contract extension.
The Detroit Red Wings signed veteran forward Brad Richards a one-year contract on Wednesday.

Scandal Recap: I'm Friends With the Monster
This week on ABC's Scandal, Quinn was pressed to tell the tooth, Cyrus' honeypot trap stung someone unexpectedly hard and Olivia's mother of a reunion stirred up an explosive memory.
RELATED | Scandal's Jeff Perry Previews the Fall Finale's 'Exquisite Hell'
QUINNTERROGATION | Wise to Quinn's alliance with Charlie, Huck binds and gags her in the name of offering a "friends and family" discount on his torture skills. "I'm so sorry," he sorta-apologizes, "because I'm going to enjoy this," marring her "fresh, new and soft" skin (and licking her temple for good measure). Quinn is briefly saved by the Ma Bell when Olivia rings Huck to say that her mother is alive. Before he rushes off, Huck decides, "What the hell, we have time for one" and goes to pluck a molar using pliers…. Later, Charlie finds Quinn a bound and bloody mess and cleans her up — and beseeches her not to sob. ("That's against the rules," akin to as in baseball, I guess.) "A few teeth are nothing. So you don't eat steak anymore!" When Quinn laments that Huck, her "only person," hurt her, Charlie counters, "You have me" — and with that cue, she drops towel and they do the B-613 boink. (More on this story in a bit.)
RELATED | Scandal Season 3 Spoilers — Mellie's New Love Match?
RENT BOY, OH BOY… | James can't sleep, "wired" as he is from getting Daniel Douglas "to go deep." And it's all a seething Cyrus can do to keep from exploding. Meanwhile, Sally meets with Leo Bergen, who asserts that for her to unseat Fitz, she'll need to abandon the Christian conservatives and come out as pro-choice or "lose, lose, lose." Shortly after Sally loops the hubby in on the timetable (she's announcing tomorrow) and commends him on his "discipline," Daniel confronts James about the feature he's writing, urging him not to reveal his "despicable temptation." Later, Cyrus rushes home, thinking that James is there to finish his business with Daniel "quick and dirty," only to find his husband alone. Cy reveals what he knows — "You had sex with him!" — and James asks: That was your plan all along, no? Or did he not follow the right "rent boy" script? "Why would you pimp out your own husband?! Like a cheap whore?!" James roars. After dressing down Cyrus for being "a gay man going out of his way to shame a gay man," James reveals his want: divorce.
Sally meanwhile reveals her want to Fitz: the Oval Office. That she's merely taking his advice to "climb through" the window of opportunity. Fitz warns Sally she is exacting political suicide for both of them, and that he will make her pay for it every day of their lives. Fitz then calls Cyrus on the carpet: "My back's now got a Sally shiv in it you may as well have handed her!" Mellie, gleaning what Cyrus set in motion with James, reassures, "It won't break you" – then echoes Fitz's charge to "see it through."
Shaken, Cyrus proceeds to blackmail Sally with the photos of Daniel — but she pretty much shrugs them off. "You know you won't release these and destroy your husband and your immoral future together," she scoffs. "The plan backfired. You lost." But as the hour closes, Daniel is the one who lost -- his life, at Sally's hand. "Cyrus, I have committed a sin," she repents over the phone.

I was watching a video of Peggy Sagers in which she was constructing a blouse. She said interfacing is not necessary (and she doesn't use it) in a blouse collar or facing. What do you think about this?
Sewing Makes Me Happy
If your button placket is doubled over so there are three layers of fabric, interfacing is not really necessary, depending on your fabric. Something light and silky but not transparent might need interfacing to support the buttonholes. It depends, so test, test, test.
As for collars.... it's a judgement call. Depends on what look you want from the collar, and style of collar. I would say to interface with possible exceptions.
FWIW, my DH's dress shirts from Brooks Brothers have absolutely no interfacing in the collar. They're just two layers of oxford cloth. I know, because I have removed & turned enough of them (sometimes had to make a brand new collar from donor shirt bodies) to extend the life of the shirt. But that's a sturdy fabric that is starched, and a man's dress shirt,,,, and we're talking about blouses here.
You can add a second layer of the blouse fabric to the upper collar, and it will serve as interfacing. I think David Page Coffin suggests this in his book. Test first.... it could darken the shade of your collar, depending on transparency of the blouse fabric, and prints might show through.
------ iPad's auto-correct is my enema.
This is interesting, because I always thought if you want your collar to roll, interfacing is required, and if you are using buttons down a placket, it's vital. I tried using "wimpy" interfacing in a collar once, and all I got was a flat piece of fabric--no nice roll. But you can use different types of fabric for interfacing, such as muslin for your collar; it doesn't have to be true interfacing. As to a front facing on a shirt, I double the button placket to use as my interfacing.

I just finished a blouse where the interfacing in the front facing ruined the look of front. Next time I'm going to eliminate interfacing the whole facing and just use little squares of self fabric or interfacing at the buttonholes. It's worked before. This thread helped me make up my mind about what went wrong with my blouse. Thanks guys.
------My hope is to sew to the very end. They'll find my head slumped over my precious Kenmore 19606 and have to pry the seam ripper from my cold, dead hands.
When I purchased my work clothes from Casual Corner, their silk blouses always used self fabric for interfacing. It eliminates that problem where the interfacing reacts differently to washing and ironing than the fashion fabric.
January 2009 to January 2010 81 yards out and 71yards in January 2010 to the present 106.7 yards out and 146.5 yards in. January 2011 to the present: 47 yards out and 69 yards in.
The bubbling is exactly why I like to use sew-in interfacing instead of iron-on. I've been told that it must be the way I ironed it on, but nothing seemed to make it do right - not up and down motion with the dry iron - nothing. There is one woven cotton/poly interfacing that I sometimes iron-on. Wish I had the name as it does well every time.
I have actually been making up some of my Peggy Sagers patterns lately. I have used no interfacing (after debating about it over-night) and I am very pleased with the results. I am finding some other small tweaks that I want to make with the patterns, but I love her RTW techniques and the fast, professional results. One blouse was made out of a polyester chiffon type fabric and the other is a rayon batik. Both worked very well without interfacing.
BTW...not related to your original question, but he other tweaks that I have made are to add 1/4" to the sleave cap to eliminate vertical folds from the shoulder point to the lower armhole. I have also decided to move the shoulder point forward by 3/8" or so. I don't tend to have to do this with other patterns, so I wanted to mention it.
I hate bubbling.
