You can't cancel the account and its address. I assume you want to stop using the entire account, not just stop the @me.com version but continue to use the @icloud.com version?
What you could do is to set up a 'vacation message' in the Mail preferences at http://www.icloud.com so that all messages to that address got a response. You would also set up a Rule to delete the message (to prevent the account filling up).
I don't think an alias is what you want - it delivers into the same inbox as the main address. You would be best off signing out of the account and creating a new one altogether. For this you will need a new Apple ID.

If I create a new apple ID, what happens to all my music, apps, and everything associated with the existing Apple ID?

You can continue to use the existing Apple ID with iTunes. There is no connection between iTunes and iCloud and no problem about having different logins for them.

Roger Wilmut1 Apr 18, 2014 2:58 PM

Well, believe it because you can't . Possibly it's to prevent someone else from picking up the email - you wouldn't want that to happen. As long as it exists only you can access it.

Hi Roger,
You seem to be the guy that might know a simple answer to my question. I started several years ago with *****@me.com and then tried to migrate to *****@Icloud.com. Now I receive duplicate emails no matter what I do. How do I stop the duplication? Also, It seems like the accounts are intertwined somehow, so if I could delete the me.com account would my mail automatically go to the iCloud.com account?
<Emails Edited by Host>
Roger Wilmut1 Sep 11, 2015 10:21 AM
in response to Doug Koch
As you gave your actual emails addresses and the Hosts have removed them in your own interest it's not clear what is going on. Is the text before the '@' the same in both cases or different? If the latter, do you have two separate accounts with their own IDs and logins? (Don't post any actual email addresses.)

Rich Lowry: America's greatest Christmas classic
America's classic Christmas song was written by a Jewish immigrant.
Born in Russia with the name Israel Baline, he was the genius songwriter we know as Irving Berlin. He wrote "White Christmas" for the 1942 Hollywood musical "Holiday Inn," starring Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire. On set, the movie's hit number was presumed to be another Berlin composition, the Valentine's Day song "Be Careful, It's My Heart." At first, it was. Then "White Christmas" captured the public's imagination and hasn't quite loosed its grip since.
As my colleague Mark Steyn puts it in a winsome podcast interview with Berlin's daughter Mary Ellin Barrett, "Berlin loved America and he sang its seasons": Easter ("Easter Parade"), July Fourth ("God Bless America") and, of course, Christmas.
Some estimates point to sales of all versions of "White Christmas" topping 100 million. According to Albert and Shirley Menendez in their book on American Christmas songs, it made the charts for two decades straight, and as late as 1969 was the No. 1 Christmas song in the country.
It is a song built on yearning. In lines at the beginning of the original version that aren't usually performed, Berlin writes of being out in sunny California during the holiday: "There's never been such a day/in Beverly Hills, L.A./But it's December the twenty-fourth,/And I'm longing to be up North."
Steyn thinks that if America had entered World War II a few years earlier, the song might never have taken off. But 1942 was the year that American men were first shipped overseas, and it was released into a wave of homesickness. Mary Ellin Barrett says it first caught on with GIs in Great Britain. During the course of the war, it became the most requested song with Armed Forces Radio.
The irony of the son of a cantor writing the characteristic American Christmas song is obvious. Yet, his daughter says, "He believed in the great American Christmas." As a child on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, he loved to look at the little Christmas tree of his Catholic neighbors. He and his Christian wife Ellin (theirs was a scandalous mixed marriage), put on elaborate, joyous Christmases for their three daughters. Not until later would they reveal that the day was a painful one for them because they had lost an infant child on Christmas.
Berlin knew he had something special with "White Christmas" as soon as he wrote it. He supposedly enthused to his secretary, "I just wrote the best song I've ever written — heck, I just wrote the best song that anybody's ever written!" The song evokes the warmth of the hearth and the comforts of our Christmas traditions in a way that hasn't stopped pulling at heartstrings yet.
It meant more then
Whereas Berlin's composition has proved its enduring appeal across more than half a century, Justin Bieber's or Cee Lo Green's latest holiday numbers probably won't. In an essay in The New Republic, Jonathan Fischer asks what has become of the golden age of pop Christmas songs between the 1930s and 1950s that not only gave us "White Christmas," but "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," "The Christmas Song" and such lesser standards as "Silver Bells," "Santa Baby" and "Frosty the Snowman."
Well, the writing was better, the standards higher, the culture more charming and less abased. But Fischer notes something else — Christmas meant more. "As the religious purpose of Christmas has gotten increasingly remote," he writes, "pop songwriters seem to have less to say about it" and "a traditional and sentimental version of Christmas ... doesn't appeal to the wider, more fractured popular culture the way it once did."
Maybe we can't make great Christmas songs anymore, but we can still listen to them, and that will have to be consolation enough. May your days be merry and bright.

Best friends for more than 50 years, Kenny and Bob have missed just two Cherokee Washington High games in four sports in the past two years. They are regulars at Braves football, baseball/softball, and basketball games, both home and away, and also attend many Braves wrestling and track and field meets home and away.
Introduced to Braves athletic teams by Bern several years ago, retired bachelor Bob has adopted the Braves and several "favorite" players. He's flat in love wth the Braves baseball team and is among their proudest and fiercely loyal boosters, just as he is for his beloved St. Louis Cardinals.
The sad part here is that Bob is now battling a serious illness and the purpose of this column is to encourage all Cherokee and other area schools' fans and players to send a card wishing him well.
I've known Bob personally for about four years and he is going to be damn mad at me when he hears about this. He knew he was ill the past few months, but put off seeing the doctor until his beloved Braves finished the State Baseball Tournament.
Please send your cards to Bob Hoffman, Room # 9856, Nebraska Medical Center, P.O. Box 6159, Omaha, Neb., 68106-0159. I have Bob's hospital and home phone numbers and for those who know him well enough to call him, just ask me for them.
We don't know how long Bob, lovingly known as "Droop," will be hospitalized, but your cards will be forwarded to his Denison home if he is dismissed.
Every spring, for 35 years in a row, Bob and Kenny would spend three weeks in Florida watching Major League Baseball spring training. He and Kenny know dozens of MLB players both retired and current, and number many of them as personal friends. They have Atlanta Braves manager Bobby Cox's cell phone number.
Together, they, along with Kenny's wife, Olga, who's battling her own serious illnesses, have attended thousands of area high school games and events through the years. Because of their legendary "prep fandom," they are considered special VIPs by the Iowa High School Athletic Association, and the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union, and are treated as royalty at all the respective state tournaments.
You see, Bob is a bachelor, and Kenny and Olga have no children of their own, so our high school kids are their family, and truly loved and admired far beyond anything you can imagine.
The preliminary diagnosis for Bob is not good, but I've got a feeling old Droop is coping much better than 80-year-old Kenny and his legion of fast friends near and far.
Knowing the private and modest Bob for four years, I've come to know him well, as he's a regular in my office every Braves game day. I often sit by Kenny and Bob at the Braves' baseball games just to listen and learn.
As to those of you who don't know Bob Hoffman, let's just say he's Kenny Bern's best friend.
And that's really all you need to know about the worth and quality of the man.

(By Mani) Apparel retailers would be reporting their comparable store sales results for the month of January on Feb.7.
Comparable or same-store-sales are a key metric to measure retail performance as it takes sales from stores that have been open for at least one year. In other terms, it excludes sales from new stores, thereby giving investors and market analysts a hindsight over the performance of a retail chain's existing stores.
Both January and February are low-volume months, and retail chains will be focused on clearing the inventory and assorting items for Spring sales. With holiday sales and winter clearance wrapping up midway through the month, shoppers may have taken a pause while stores began transitioning to new spring merchandise.
[Related -American Eagle Outfitters (NYSE:AEO) Q3 Earnings Preview: What To Watch?]
Unusually cold weather in the West in early January and Northeast/Midwest in late last month are likely helped sales of cold-weather items, but likely hurt full-price spring selling.
In this period, investors should focus on margins and first-quarter outlook from the retailers.
Following are some of the companies that are expected to report same store sales results.
Gap Inc. (NYSE: GPS), Limited Brands (NYSE: LTD), Nordstrom, Inc. (NYSE: JWN), Ross Stores, Inc. (NASDAQ: ROST), TJX Companies, Inc. (NYSE: TJX), Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (NYSE: ANF), Aeropostale, Inc. (NYSE: ARO) and American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. (NYSE: AEO).
[Related -The Gap Inc. (NYSE:GPS), L Brands Inc(NYSE:LTD): How November Comps Will Fare Post Black Friday?]
Most chains appeared to have successfully exited remaining holiday merchandise and were able to set their initial spring assortments without the distraction of major levels of carryover product remaining in stores. This bodes well for chains American Eagle, Hollister and Aeropostale, who are offering updated spring merchandise as they are better able to show case their new offerings.
"Given the mix between solid early trends and a likely drop-off, we believe comps in January will be modest, but still likely positive," RBC Capital Markets analyst Howard Tubin said in a client note.

Evaluating the USAB trial performances
Updated: June 15, 2010, 6:49 PM ETBy Mark Lewis | HoopGurlz
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Whether it's a political election, a beauty pageant or the trials for one of the USA Basketball teams, there's always going to be debate and discussion about whether or not "they got it right." This year's U17 and U18 trials weren't so much a competition for a spot on either team as they were an audition for the roles the selection committee was looking to fill. Players who struggled found their way onto a roster and athletes who stood out went home scratching their ...

Station Crew Tests How Cells, Bones and Muscles Respond to Lack of Gravity
SpaceX Amateur Business Case Study
There have been several times in recent weeks that people either in person or on the internet have speculated about SpaceX's finances and business model. In some cases the speculations have been that SpaceX is pricing their Falcon 9 below cost to try and drive ULA and other competitors out of business. I've seen other analyses on the pro-SpaceX side that seem to think that $6M F9R flights to orbit are right around the corner. I finally got curious enough that I wanted to run some of my own numbers using publicly available information to see what I could learn. I was a bit worried at first that if my analysis didn't come out looking anything short of amazing for SpaceX that I'd get burned at the stake as a heretic, but I decided to publish this analysis anyway, including my spreadsheet I came up with so others can play with it and draw their own conclusions. Also, to save space I'm going to put all my disclaimers into this footnote1.
The four main questions I wanted to try to answer were:
- How realistic/sustainable is the current $61.2M price for an expendable Falcon 9?
- How realistic is their goal of $40M for a partially-reusable Falcon 9?
- How realistic is their goal of eventual $6-7M Falcon 9 flights if they could recover/reuse both stages?
- How much has SpaceX had to rely on spending pre-payments from future launches?
This was a fairly brief, 3hr exercise, so consider at best a really, really crude SWAG, but I gained some interesting insights I had never noticed before. Before I get into answering my two questions, and discussing those interesting insights, I'd like to first discuss the methodology I used, and provide a copy of the spreadsheet in case you want to start poking around.
The point of this exercise wasn't to create a precise cashflow history of SpaceX, but to create a simplified model that could give some insights into some of the questions I previously mentioned. I wanted to stick with publicly available sources, and wanted to keep things simple and high-level. So I gathered key pieces of data including headcount at various times, list prices for their vehicles, timing of launches, and data on the value of government development contracts they've received 2. I then made several core cost assumptions:
- I assumed that each employee cost SpaceX an average of $150k/yr burdened. This is lower than the traditional $200-250k/yr number you hear for bigger industry player, but is consistent with numbers I've seen for aerospace startup companies. This number includes not just direct salary, but also employment taxes, unemployment insurance/worker's comp, fringe benefits (health insurance and other benefits), and other direct costs of employing people (computers, software seats3, etc). I had originally gone for $120k/yr for this number, but found that the numbers jibed better with historical data points we had if I used the higher $150k/person/yr number.
- I assumed that "overhead" cost 50% of the direct labor costs. Overhead normally includes the salaries of non-engineering labor (executive, marketing, business, etc), but since I've just used a lump rate based on the headcount, this overhead number just includes facilities, infrastructure, tools and machinery, and R&D costs that weren't for producing flight hardware. So Merlin test engines that didn't fly would fit under this. As would the pads, the factories, the drone ships, Grasshopper, any Raptor development, etc. This is ridiculously high-level, but it would take a lot of work to get anything more precise. But this seems pretty reasonable since the labor cost included fringe benefits, and all of the indirect labor.
- I assumed that on average for Falcon 1, Falcon 9, and Dragon, that the non-labor cost of goods sold was 25% of the item's list price. Ie, if SpaceX says an expendable Falcon 9 costs $60M, I assumed that non-labor COGS was ~$15M. This covers raw materials, consumables, range fees, shipping costs, non-labor marginal testing costs, and all the components and sub-assemblies SpaceX still purchases for the launch4. This number was based on my assumption that SpaceX was probably targeting list prices that they expected to be able to make at least a 10% profit margin on, and that ~2/3 of the cost was labor and fixed costs. It was also based on my limited experience at Altius on space hardware projects. The analysis didn't seem wildly sensitive to this number, but it's also one of the ones I'm least confident in.
I don't think any of those are wildly controversial, though you can try fiddling with the numbers as you see fit using the spreadsheet I provided.
I then made some more or less dubious simplifying assumptions (many documented in comment boxes in the spreadsheet):
- Instead of trying to figure out exactly when SpaceX got paid for what milestones for each contract, I typically took the contract value and duration, and evenly spread the value of the contract over the years in question. In reality payments may have been more lumpy, more front-loaded or more back-loaded. If someone really wants to take the time to dig through public records to try and time the payments more accurate, be my guest (and send me a copy of the updated spreadsheet and I'll put it in an update).
- I inflated the value of old contracts and revenues into 2016 dollars using Wolfram Alpha, to make costs and revenues easier to compare with 2016 numbers. I'm not sure what inflation calculator they used or if it's one that is uncontroversial. I also realized that on the cost side I didn't inflate the labor costs to 2016 dollars. So that may be an update worth doing down the road to be internally consistent. Non-labor COGS is inflated though because it's based on the inflated list prices. Most importantly, I'm not 100% sure this was a useful way to do things. But that's what I did.
- For commercial Falcon 1 and Falcon 9 flights, I assumed the actual revenue for the flight was 10% above the list price on average for "added services." As I've heard from some people who've spoken with SpaceX in the past, the list price covers a pretty basic service, and that many items people care about cost extra. One NASA mission (I can't remember if it was Jason or DISCOVR) for instance was listed as costing $97M even though the list price was only ~$60M. I don't think there's anything wrong with this, but I wanted to account for it. Once again, if you disagree with my 10% estimate, feel free to tweak it up or down. I didn't include this added service 10% for CRS flights, since I assumed those were baked into the price.
- Probably the biggest and most explicitly incorrect assumption I made was that SpaceX only got paid for flights upon completion, and that all of the revenue (and non-labor COGS) for that flight happened in the year that the flight occured. In reality, in order to get a manifest slot you almost always have to pay a non-refundable deposit, and there are many milestones along the way, that typically front-load a lot of the cost of a launch so that by the time you get to the actual launch, you've already paid most of the money for the flight, with the actual flight itself only the last of several milestones. This is pretty common in industry as I understand it. The reasons I didn't include some sort of modeling of prepayments was for a few reasons: a) I don't think there's enough public info to accurately time prepayments for commercial flights even if I wanted to, and b) one of the main questions I wanted to answer was how much SpaceX was using spending front-loaded pre-payments to finance cashflow. Fortunately, we should be able to estimate how much of the prepayment money they've spent based on the difference between cumulative revenues + investments – costs. Basically if they've spent more money than they have received from completed flights, R&D contracts, and investment, it seems like the only real place that money could come from would be spending pre-sales.
- For CRS flights, I assumed that the Falcon 9 + Dragon cost $1.6B/12flts = $133M/flt in dollars of the year that the flight occurred. I assumed that the price of the Dragon and added services was this $133M number (inflated to $2016) minus the inflated Falcon 9 list price for that year.
- I assumed SpaceX got paid list price even for flights that failed. My guess is this isn't precisely true, but probably closeish.
- For years when I didn't have an explicit headcount, or one I could remember for the earliest years, I interpolated from years on either side.
- For years leading up to the first Falcon 1 flights, I assumed that Elon invested money to counter any difference between the revenues and costs, since there weren't many preorders they could take milestone money from to finance cashflow.
- There was ~$100M of non-Elon investment in SpaceX from various groups like Founders Fund and DFJ in the 2008-2012 timeframe. We had timing of the 2008 money, but not for the remaining $80M, so I evenly distributed it (and inflated it to 2016 dollars).
- I only went up through 2015 in the historical data, so I don't include any revenues or data for Dragon V2 flights, Falcon Heavy flights, or reusable Falcon 9 flights in the historical section. Even in the what-if sections, I explicitly leave out Dragon V2 flights5 and Falcon Heavy flights to try and focus on the specific questions I wanted to answer, and to keep this model from rapidly ballooning into something too complex to get useful information out of.
So all told, this is a flawed, but hopefully useful model. And one you can tweak to your hearts content to see if you come to different conclusions than I.
How Well Does the Model Do?
We don't have a lot of data points to compare with, but there are two data points worth looking at:
- The model suggests that not counting DARPA and USAF contract R&D money, Elon had to put in ~$103M of his own money to get Falcon 1 to the point where it was flying. That's around $85M in then-year dollars, so in the right ballpark for the ~$90M Falcon I development budget you hear quoted. It's not perfect, but close enough to suggest we're in the general ballpark.
- The cumulative cost through the first flights of Falcon 9/Dragon in 2010 are estimated at ~$800M inflated. The canonical number was $390M for Falcon 1 + Falcon 9v1.0 development, which would imply that Dragon was around $350M or so once you separated out operational costs and such. This also seems close-ish.
I'm sure that with more time and a more granular approach you could probably get the numbers closer, but this suggests we have a model that's at least in the right ballpark.
Answers to The Four Questions
So, if you assume that my model isn't entirely useless, we can now take a look at my three questions from earlier. This is what the "what if" columns on the right are for. The short version is that I think:
- While I think you can make the case that SpaceX isn't yet to a flightrate where they are making profit at the current $61.2M list price, my model suggests they'd only need ~13 Falcon 9 flights with 3 of those being CRS flights in 2016 in order to breakeven at that price point. With the amount of people and infrastructure they have, 13 flights per year (with 3 being CRS flights) doesn't seem unreasonable, even if they don't make it all the way there this year. So this confirms my intuition that their $61.2M number for Falcon 9 isn't so much them trying to sell at a loss to push out their competitors, but more them not having reached the flight rate that they're theoretically capable of with their current team and infrastructure.
- Based on this model, I also don't think getting down to $40M/yr for a semi-reusable Falcon 9 is totally unrealistic. There's a lot of squishiness in my model about how I account for reusability, but it seems like we're probably only talking about ~15-18 flights with ~3 of those being Dragon flights in order to make that at least somewhat realistic, assuming the downsize to ~4000 people after the commercial crew development is over. Which seems doable. If they keep their full 6000 people, they'd need nearly 30 flights per year to break even at $40M/flt, which seems optimistically high, but I don't think they need the full 6000 people once the commercial crew development and certification is completed. This more or less confirms my intuition that a modest price decrease with reuse seems realistic.
- Dramatic drops in price seem pretty optimistic though. Even if you assume that the non-labor COGS drops by 90% per flight with reuse, and that they can get back down to 2500 people to service everything, it still seems like you'd need >50 flts per year to make those prices work, and I don't consider that remotely realistic yet with the current market. If they kept their current team size, they'd need over 100-150 flights per year to make the $7M/flt number work… I don't think that's likely to happen. That said, even a 30% drop from their current prices is pretty amazing.
- There does seem to be some merit to the belief that SpaceX has been living off of prepayments. If you ignore the $1B fidelity investment last year (ie assume that it was set aside explicitly for the satellite business, and not used to finance cashflow), SpaceX has currently spent around ~$1.2B of prepayments (down a little from a high of around ~$1.3B in 2014). If you assume that they priced Falcon 9 with only a modest 10% profit margin6, that means that around $1B of that prepayment money that they've already spent is money they'll need to carry out the missions on their manifest. With ~40ish flights on their manifest, they have a backlog worth ~$3B, so that represents a lot of their backlog that they've already spent. They've probably done some of the work for those flights, but does anyone really think they've done ~1/3 of the work needed for those 40 flights? Probably not. That said, is this some fatal problem? Probably not. The Google/Fidelity investment is about the same size as this amount, so even if something were to happen they're probably safe now. And with the commercial crew contracts, they actually had more completed revenue than costs, and that's likely going to get better this year if they can get their flight rate up. Lastly, so long as their manifest continues to either grow or at least stay steady, that will also help with cashflow. Unless they have another launch failure and 6 month standdown within the next year or two, I think they're probably safe. Or at least as safe as any other commercial operator in this industry.
Other Observations
There were also several other interesting observations that stuck out to me:
- SpaceX has only recently reached the point where their revenue from actual flights has surpassed their revenue from DARPA and NASA R&D contracts. They're currently at $1.7B from flights vs $1.5B for R&D contracts. And most of their flight revenue to-date has come from CRS missions.But while SpaceX has benefited a lot from their public-private partnership with NASA, it looks like over the next several years more and more of their business will be coming from commercial and non-NASA customers.A lot of their current team-size is likely driven not by Falcon 9 and Dragon fabrication and flight operations, but development work for Commercial Crew. With how NASA chose to run the Commercial Crew program, more as a traditional contract development with deep NASA oversight, maybe this isn't that surprising.If SpaceX suffers another launch failure in the next 1-2 years, I think they could probably survive as a company, but expect that would significantly delay their ability to field their LEO commsat constellation–ie they'd have to spend a lot of that Fidelity/Google investment to cover cashflow while they work through the return to flight.I wouldn't be surprised if SpaceX downsized after commercial crew certification is over. It would make achieving their cost targets more realistic, and they probably won't need as big of a production staff if reuse really pans out in the way they expect.Based on my model's prediction of their cost structure, and how much of their prepayments they've already eaten through, I'm skeptical that they're moving anywhere near as fast with Raptor and MCT as most of their fans seem to think they are.
All told, I think this was an interesting exercise, even if it turns out that some of my assumptions were off by a bit. My big takeaways are that SpaceX's current price numbers seem realistic, and their $40M price target with reuse is also probably also achievable eventually. Their financial situation seems less precarious now than it has been at any point in their history, though even one more launch failure anytime soon would hurt quite a bit. I also really don't think they have a clear path forward to the more optimistic numbers they've thrown out, even with full stage reuse, but $40M for a Falcon 9 is still pretty amazing. I genuinely hope ULA and/or Blue Origin can continue to step up their game enough to stay competitive with SpaceX–it would be awesome to have two or three US providers able to launch rockets reliably at those kind of prices–that would go a long way towards enabling the kind of space future we'd all like to see.
Anyhow, go nuts with the spreadsheet, and if anyone has a ton of time on their hands and wants to try and time the revenue and estimate prepayments and all that better than I have, I'd be interested in seeing what you come up with, and may even post the results if they're interesting enough.
[Update 1: A commenter pointed out that this site (https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?company=space+exploration+technologies&owner=exclude&action=getcompany) provides data on the timing and size of previous SpaceX investment rounds. Between this and government data on contract payment timing, we could probably increase the fidelity of the spreadsheet by quite a bit. If anyone wants to do that, let me know. If not I'll see if I can find the time to do that in the coming days.
Also, while this impacts revenue going forward, not historical revenue, SpaceX did win a contract for matching funds from the USAF for upper stage engine development. This will help lower the number of flights they would need to break even by at least one or two. Continuing to win big government development contracts like this will help SpaceX going forward.]

Danny Garcia, the Philly fighter who shocked the rest of the boxing world, if not himself, when he dropped and stopped Amir Khan in July, will headline at the boxing debut of the Barclays Center.
OK, some of us thought that gig would more logically go to Paulie Malignaggi of Bensonhurst, but we try to stay humble, stay in our lane, know that we aren't promoters. So ... I asked the Philly fighter at a presser today at the Marriott near the new arena if it'd be strange at all headlining in NY?
Philly is his stomping ground, and we all know Philly sports fans and NY rooters don't always get along...
"If I was fighting a Brooklyn fighter, then it'd be Philly vs. New York," he said, laughing, "but I'm fighting a guy from Mexico and I'm a guy from the East Coast so I'm pretty sure they'll be supporting me."
He's talking about Erik Morales, the Mexican legend who met Garcia in March, and who came in over the weight and sort of sluggish, and dropped a UD12 to the kid. There was no clamor for a rematch, but Garcia said a rematch is warranted, because he thinks this time, Morales, age 35, will be more properly prepared. "This fight is going to be way better than that," said the 24 year-old, with the 24-0 record. "Morales is going to come more ready, more in shape, I'm going to come ready, more in shape. This fight is going to be a bigger war." He said that he wants to be part of a crew, including Malignaggi, that helps restore NY as a fight town, helps bring back the luster to the East Coast as a fight mecca. "I took the peoples' fans, I took the UK fans, I'll take the Mexican fans, and I'll make people pay attention to New York and Philly," he said.
Garcia had Morales down in round 11, but some thought the scores should have been closer than they were. (Yes, the fight took place in Texas, and happily, the NY judges have a solid rep for getting it right.)
Me, I see Garcia being a significantly better boxer following the Khan rubout, and believe he will get the better of Morales in a more decisive fashion.

Hi Joe,
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then oen Mail, highlight that particular Inbox & under the Mailbox menu item, choose rebuild.
If still nothing...
Make a new Smart Mailbox that only includes Unread Mails, do they show in that Smartbox?

Hmmm, I don't think it has anything to do woth Earthlink, but maybe they changed something?
Do the Smart Mailbox ones show up in the same folder in the Finder as you earlier found?

I agree. All other Mac's here have no problems with email.
No nothing shows up in the new smart mailbox. All emails come in and are counted in mailboxes but cannot be viewed and are not in the inbox window. On these mailboxes I cannot rebuild these as "rebuild" is greyed out????
The new smart mailbox can be rebuilt.
Was thinking about a clean install????

Do you need to save these eMails?

yes it is a pop account. Did call Earthlink. They said they are having a server problem... which make no sense as all of our macs here work fine. The laptop in question is my Mom's (91 years Old). The email program on the laptop seems to be corrupt (???) So... she can email from her G-5 (same OS as the laptop) but NOT the laptop... which seems to narrow it down to something wrong with the laptop mail program.
Clean install???? Joe

Clean Install of Mail, or the OS, or the Mail Account?
If the Mail needs to be saved...
On Mail...
First Quit Mail, then I'd backup these two Mail folders, by right clicking on them in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
(Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place, same for the Mail Downloads folder... only the plist is separate.

I am sure it is a corrupt mail program as there are several issues now. (can' see any of the emails, can't delete items in mail, when I do, the deletes "toggle" and change to a grey color (that is a good one!) and do not delete).
So... if there is a way to remove the old email program and install a new one?
Where can I find a new copy of email?
I was thinking of a complete clean install of OS 10.5.8 but have some concerns that corrupt mail settings might be migrated into the clean install.
AND... this last idea to initialize the whole laptop and start over..... a lot of extra work.
THANKS for all of the ideas and hope you'll reply to this with your suggestions.

I sent to above message eariler today.... here is the latest:
All emails showed up in the inbox! ....BUT... clicking on a given email to view, opens a blank window.
Nothing in it! NO TEXT!
I noticed the "rebuild mailbox" drop down was now black (no longer greyed out). Rebuilding the mailbox deletes all emails????
Mail seems to be "offline" at all times? Using the drop down "go online" causes the mail program to "default" right back to "offline".
I wish I could have simple problems!
BDAqua Feb 24, 2014 10:31 AM
in response to bajoevette Helpful
Hmmm, reinstalling the big 10.5.8 Combo update should replace the Mail App...
Repair Permissions twice in a row afterwords, reboot.
1058 Combo Update, 10.5.8...
But with the blank window, I'm windering if it might be a Font issue.
In Mail>Preferences>Fonts & Colors, try changing the Message Font to another one & see if text shows up.

Ready for this..... Earthlink did say they had a server issue. EVERYTHING seems to be back to normal!
I thought about that and figured each machine has a IP address, so maybe that is why her machine did not respond and the rest did. That LT was connected to Earthlink's server with the problems......
at least thats what I want to believe!
Thanks for your help.

Notes from the Manager
Since, as you know, all of the movie news in Multiplex is absolutely true:
The exclusive Dark Knight trailer at the Domino's website can be seen by entering "000 000 0000" into the Domino's Pizza Tracker. There is currently one up, and it looks like a second one is on its way, presumably before the movie is released on the 18th. (I would guess sometime this week, actually.) It looks like the 000 number doesn't work anymore, but it's up at YouTube now.
The teaser and the two official full trailers can be found at Apple. The "alternate" Dark Knight trailer (originally available exclusively to Comcast On Demand customers) can be seen at Daily Motion. The viral Two-Face clip can be seen at YouTube.
As far as I can tell, the first six minutes that played at IMAX can only be found in ultra-shitty hand-held camera bootleg versions, and fuck that shit. (Besides which, despite all the trailers, I've avoided watching the first six minutes, because I don't want to see it until I'm watching the movie properly.)
P.S. Did you know I am on Twitter? Because I am. On Twitter.
UPDATE: Hey! Ryan Estrada drew Kurt into a guest arc for Alma Mater!
UPDATE AGAIN: Hey! AIR RAID, a new online mag about music and other cool shit, had a chat with me and a few other people about Multiplex (of course) and "underground and DIY comics" — which is a way cooler term than webcomics, honestly. Fuck "webcomics." I just draw comics.
UPDATE TIMES THREE: Multiplex has recently partnered up with a Chicago-area movie website, Hollywood Chicago. You can see their pretty little logo at the base of the sidebar. They currently have a give-away for some free passes to the new documentary, American Teen, so if you're in the area, hop over to their site and, you know, follow the instructions.

Multiplex will be back on Monday
Thursday, April 14, 2016
It's only been a couple of months since I said goodbye to Punk and today my fiancée Karyn and I had to say goodbye to her cat Sydney. Like Punk, she was eighteen years old and had multiple long-term health issues.
I only knew her for the last eight of her years, and although we had a contentious start, and she never got along with Punk, we grew to have a special bond. In the last few months, she would sit on me as I slept and be the first thing I saw almost every morning. She was a very sweet, ridiculously affectionate cat, and we will both miss her.
Multiplex is taking a very short break. I'll see you here Monday.

Injury sidelines Shockey
Published: Tuesday, September 23, 2008 at 3:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 23, 2008 at 11:09 a.m.
METAIRIE -- Tight end Jeremy Shockey, the Saints second-leading receiver through three games, is expected to be out for three to six weeks because of a sports hernia.
Shockey, who was acquired from the New York Giants in a trade shortly before training camp, had 16 receptions for 151 yards during the Saints first three regular-season games. He played Sunday in New Orleans 34-32 loss at Denver, catching five passes for 56 yards.
On Monday afternoon, Saints spokesman Greg Bensel confirmed a report on the (New Orleans) Times-Picayunes Web site that Shockey was scheduled to have surgery this week.
A sports hernia is the weakening of muscles or tendons in the lower abdominal wall. For Shockey, its the second serious injury in as many seasons. He broke his left leg last December and missed all of the Giants postseason run to a Super Bowl championship.
Shockeys absence also is the second major blow to the Saints receivers this season following the loss of Marques Colston in Week 1.
Colston, who led the Saints in receiving in each of the previous two seasons, needed surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left thumb and is not expected back for another month.
Shockey lobbied for a trade to the Saints in the offseason, hoping to rejoin head coach Sean Payton, who was the Giants offensive coordinator in 2002, the flamboyant tight ends rookie season.
Shockey caught more passes (74) for more yards (894) that season than any other in his career and was the rookie of the year. With the Saints, he was expected to play a major role in a pass-oriented offense led by quarterback Drew Brees.
So far, the Saints leading receiver this season is running back Reggie Bush, who has 26 catches for 250 yards and two touchdowns.
With both Colston and Shockey out, the Saints may have to rely more on receivers David Patten, Devery Henderson, Lance Moore, Robert Meachem and Terrance Copper. However, Patten pulled his left groin during Sundays game and is unsure of his status for this week, while Copper was inactive last weekend with a pulled hamstring.
The Saints also have two other tight ends in Billy Miller and Mark Campbell, although Campbell also was out last weekend because of a pulled hamstring.
Payton met with reporters earlier on Monday afternoon, but did not mention Shockeys injury.
