Tom Zigal
"White Noise" by Don DeLillo (1985)
One of the truly great, subversive, darkly funny novels of recent decades. Anyone who works at a university, or has driven by one, should read this brilliant book about fears, phobias and deceptions in a small college town, USA. Winner of the National Book Award in 1985.
"The Dog of the South" by Charles Portis (1979)
Portis's novels are eccentric and laugh-aloud wonderful. Ray Midge's wife runs off with her boyfriend, Ray's Ford Torino, and his boyhood .410 shotgun. In the South, you don't ever steal a man's Ford Torino and .410 and expect him not to chase you from Little Rock down through Texas and into Mexico. The chase ends in Belize, where Ray Midge has an epiphany that Central America would be a better place if everyone read the biography of Lord Nelson.
"I Don't Know How She Does It" by Allison Pearson (2002)
A funny, incisive novel with an appealing narrator who is the mother of two small children and the star of her London brokerage firm. Kate Reddy's first person voice is zippy and hilariously entertaining, and you'll learn more about contemporary England than you would if you read a dry sociology textbook.
"The Waterworks" by E. L. Doctorow (1994)
A page-turning gothic thriller set in 19th century New York City, written by one of the country's most brilliant stylists. An aging newspaperman sets out to discover what happened to a missing colleague and uncovers ghoulish scientific experiments, Boss Tweed politics, and Dickensian ills and abuses of every sort.
"Moth Smoke" by Mohsin Hamid (2001)
An elegant and sensuous first novel about contemporary Pakistan. A young man living on the fringes of the Lahore elite begins a spiral into drugs and a dangerous affair with the wife of his politically powerful best friend. The story reveals much about Pakistan's uneasy dance between secularism and state religion, social stability and despotic power, and the quest for international respect amid the nuclear arms race.
"Last Mountain Dancer" by Chuck Kinder (2004)
An unruly romp through that mysterious land known as West Virginia, where "legendary mountain dancers, moonshiners, stupendous marijuana farmers, snakehandlers, blood-feudists, mystery midgets, mothmen and horny space aliens…drop into my home state as regular as clock-work…." Kinder's voice is unique in American letters: simultaneously poetic, heartbreaking and gonzo hilarious.
"Chronicles, Vol. 1" by Bob Dylan (2004)
Forget that grumpy old guy you see scowling into the camera with his pencil-thin mustache a-twitching. This is the Dylan we all want to know and love. Young, innocent, yearning, funny, brilliant, romantic, enormously curious. He recounts his working-class upbringing in Hibbing, Minn., and how he made his way to Greenwich Village in the late '50s, a country boy who became a legend.
Elizabeth Engelhardt
"Southern Food: At Home, On the Road, In History" by John Egerton (1993)
After spending most of his career writing about race, class and region, Egerton turned to how food reveals Southern stories, positive and negative. In the process, he wrote a classic book about food and culture. It's a cookbook, oral history, travel literature and cultural study all at once—it helps me think, makes me hungry and feeds my wanderlust.
"Southern Belly: The Ultimate Food Lover's Guide to the South" by John T. Edge (2002)
Edge has recorded restaurant stories from around the South that explore foodways, families, communities small and large, memory and innovation. As a Southern reader, I find much that is familiar here, but also much that I did not know—because Edge is meticulous in his detail, always asking which South, for whom, and where.
"Cooking Lessons: The Politics of Gender and Food" edited by Sherrie A. Inness (2001)
With articles on foods as diverse as fried chicken, bananas, biscuits, tortillas and Jell-O, this more scholarly anthology explores how our national and regional ideas of masculinity and femininity are played out in kitchens and on dinner tables.
"The Power and the Glory: A Novel of Appalachia" by Grace MacGowan Cooke (2003)
I helped bring this book back into print, and it remains one of my favorite page-turners. The story of a mountain girl who must come down to the city to work in a textile mill, Cooke's 1910 novel has everything from romance, to car chases, to wandering chiropractors.
"Prodigal Summer" by Barbara Kingsolver (2001)
The perfect book to read in an old chair on a front porch. Kingsolver's story of three women in a rural mountain community is at turns controversial, lyrical and fulfilling. Ultimately, food unites not only the women with each other but also the human and nonhuman world.
Ellen Spiro
"Astro Turf: The Private Life Of Rocket Science" by M.G. Lord (2005)
In this multi-faceted book, Lord delves into the history of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory through a personal narrative that details both family relationships and a microscopic cultural history. She captures the heyday of robotic space exploration by uncovering the sub-culture in which her rocket scientist father immersed himself while her mother was dying of cancer.
"The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini (2003)
A heartbreaking story and a vivid window into a culture few Americans understand. Against a historical backdrop of 30 years in Afghanistan, Hosseini blends a deeply personal story with a tragic history of oppression and destruction. Colorful depictions of everyday life in Kabul are woven into the young narrator's story.
"Assassination Vacation" by Sarah Vowell (2005)
I became a fan of Vowell hearing her on NPR's "This American Life." Her sardonic humor and intelligence permeate all her commentaries. Her newest book is a particularly fun romp through American history via an unusual tourist itinerary—the sites of famous presidential assassinations.
"You Are Here: Personal Geographies And Other Maps Of The Imagination" by Katharine Harmon (2003)
As someone who loves to stare at maps almost as much as traveling, I found this book to be a gift. The maps in this book will not help you get to any actual destinations. There are maps of the body, DNA, time, moods and popular culture. These maps of the imagination are more vast and varied, whimsical and inspiring, than any map of a particular location.
"The Garden In the Machine: A Field Guide to Independent Films About Place" by Scott MacDonald (2001)
MacDonald is one of the strongest and most passionate advocates for the appreciation and study of avant garde film. This book is a great resource for anyone interested in contemporary film that has constantly pushed the boundaries and inspired many established Hollywood directors with radical artistic leaps away from the mainstream.
"On Photography" by Susan Sontag (1977)
I read Sontag before I ever made a film. Her brilliant analysis inspired me to dig deeper as an artist and to see my work in the context of an incredibly influential history of photography. When Sontag died this past year, I revisited "On Photography" and came away with an even greater appreciation of her sensibility and her way of examining the world through the media we use to depict it.
"Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores The Hidden Side Of Everything" by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner (2005)
Just when you think you have figured it all out, it's refreshing to read something that asks questions about a range of contemporary ideas and uses an effective economic model to answer them. This book deals with relevant issues and analyzes them in ways that turn expected notions upside-down—from crime and abortion to naming trends in society.
"Mongo: Adventures In Trash" by Ted Botha (2004)
OK, I confess, I am a trashophile. In Austin trash hunting is certainly not as respectable as it is in Manhattan, where I lived for 12 years. When I heard someone came out with a book on the subject, I had to read it. "Mongo" is filled with hilarious stories of the author's encounters with fellow dumpster-divers and his analysis of this unconventional sub-culture.
José Limón
"Brownsville" by Oscar Casares (2003)
Casares, who hangs his professional hat in our English Department, explores the lives of seemingly rather ordinary Mexican Americans (and an occasional Anglo) in south Texas, people who turn extraordinary in the meticulous, well crafted prose of this gifted young writer.
"Remembering the Alamo: Memory, Modernity and the Master Symbol" by Richard Flores (2002)
Flores, associate dean in the College of Liberal Arts, reminds us that throughout most of the 19th century, no one really cared much about the Alamo, the site of that epic battle in 1836. How and why Texans and the nation began to remember the Alamo in the 20th century is the complicated and illuminating story that Flores has to tell, a story all Texans should know.
"Brown: The Last Discovery of America" by Richard Rodriguez (2002)
Rodriguez is one of our most perceptive public intellectuals and essayists who writes with grace and elegance. Here he explores the Latino condition in the United States through the metaphor but also the pungent reality of the color brown but sheds even more light on what it might mean to be an American today.
"The Book of Lamentations" by Rosario Castellanos (1996)
A probing lyrical novel set in indigenous Mexico. A must read if you really want to get beyond "touristic" Mexico and go deeper into the most fundamental contradictions and tensions that plague that sad and tortured country, many of whose citizens are now among us.
"On Heroes and Tombs" by Ernesto Sabato (1988)
Ostensibly a conflicted love story, Sabato's vivid imagination, keen intellect and marvelous prose make this novel a probing exploration of Argentina but also the Latin American and human condition.
Gary Chapman
"The Baroque Cycle" (The trilogy of "Quicksilver," "The Confusion" and "The System of the World") by Neal Stephenson (2003-2005)
This epic trilogy will fill up your summer—these three books total 2,612 pages—but you will be grateful. Stephenson is a novelist with the biggest ambitions and an imagination to match. "The Baroque Cycle" is a fictionalized history of the beginnings of computing, set in the late 17th century, and a rip-roaring adventure tale. Like pirate books of your youth wrapped around an amazing description of the dawn of science and rationality.
"Cryptonomicon" by Neal Stephenson (1999)
Another tour de force by Stephenson, this time an ingenious weaving of two story lines, both about encryption, one set during World War II and the other in modern times. The earlier story is about the efforts of wartime cryptologists to crack the codes of the Axis enemies, while their descendants in the second story use digital encryption to set up their own currency.
"War Trash" by Ha Jin (2004)
Ha Jin is perhaps the greatest writer writing in English today, all the more amazing in that English is his second and only recently acquired language. Originally from China, he writes in a way that utterly transports you to another time and place. "War Trash" is a hypnotic and completely absorbing novel about a Chinese soldier in the Korean War who is captured and endures the brutal politics of prison camps.
"Little Scarlet: An Easy Rawlins Mystery" by Walter Mosley (2004)
The latest in the delightful and addictive series of books featuring the wonderful character Easy Rawlins, a good man in bad circumstances. A tense mystery set in the days just after the Watts riots in Los Angeles in 1965. Mosley perfectly captures the liveliness and the sadness of a poverty-stricken and simmering neighborhood of memorable characters.
"Cloudsplitter" by Russell Banks (1998)
A thunderbolt of a book, one of the great books of the 20th century. The fictionalized story of John Brown, the fanatic anti-slavery activist who launched an armed attack on Harper's Ferry, Va., in 1859, as told by his son, Owen. A sweeping and cinematic novel by a masterful and poetic writer.
Chona Guiang
"The Blind Watchmaker" by Richard Dawkins (1986)
"The Blind Watchmaker" is both a great explanatory text on evolution for the general public (as well as more advanced science students), and a reasoned refutation of intelligent design. Dawkins provides lucid, naturalistic explanations for evolution of complex features (e.g., the eye) without appealing to the idea of a designer.
"The American Way of Death Revisited" by Jessica Mitford (1998, revised)
An eminently readable and humorous expose of the funeral industry and how it exploits people at their most vulnerable. It is a testament to Mitford's witty writing style that the chapters dealing with grotesqueries like embalming and funeral trade shows lose their macabre edge and instead illuminate the predatory tactics, questionable tastes and excesses of the mostly overlooked death industry.
"Age of Reason" by Thomas Paine (1795)
Paine's work provides a thorough analysis of the Judeo-Christian scriptures, and outlines his arguments against biblical inerrancy and the benevolence of the biblical deity. Believers and nonbelievers alike should read Paine's thought-provoking arguments, if only to gain insight on the 18th century perspective on the Bible from a founding father and staunch deist.
"Collected Fictions" by Jorge Luis Borges (1998)
These stories represent all of Borges' fictional writings and touch on themes such as the nature of infinity, time, dreams, memory and reality. Borges is known for the richly textured, dreamlike quality of the alternate universes he creates, and the integration of metaphysics into his fantasy and detective fiction.
"Life of Galileo" by Bertolt Brecht (1938)
A compelling character study of a troubled genius and his conflict with, and eventual capitulation to, the Catholic Church. Galileo's rumination on the nature of science is informed by his personal experiences: "Science trades in knowledge, which is the product of doubt. And this new art of doubt has enchanted the public…. They snatched the telescopes out of our hands and had them trained on their tormentors."
"The Trial" by Franz Kafka (1925)
"The Trial" recounts the experiences of a man arrested for an unspecified crime. In this book, Kafka captures the alienation, dread and anxiety of modern existence through the eyes of the protagonist.
"Sizwe Bansi is Dead" by Athol Fugard (1972)
Fugard's play focuses on the South African law that restricts the travel and employment of black citizens 16 and older by requiring the use of individual identity passes. The lead character assumes the identity of a dead person to find employment, and his day-to-day struggles provide a glimpse into the plight of Africans during the apartheid era.

FRANKFORT—A proposed interstate natural gas liquids pipeline that would impact landowners in at least 25 Kentucky counties, including Grant, does not qualify under the state's eminent domain law, the head of the state's Energy and Environment Cabinet yesterday quoted his agency's general counsel as saying.
Grant County will literally be going to the dogs next week.
About 75 canines and their handlers, along with trainers/evaluators from across the country will be attending the third North American Police Working Dog Association training and certification held Sept. 16 through Sept. 20.
"When it comes to police, people are often used to the bad stuff, but this is good stuff and we want to showcase what Grant County has to offer," said Grant County Sheriff's Deputy Robert Morgan, one of the organizers of the event.
The Williamstown Independent School Board recently voted to keep 2013-14 tax rates the same as last year.
The tax rate for real and personal property will once again be 88.4 cents per $100 of assessed value.
The tangible tax rate will also be 88.4 cents per $100 assessed value while the motor vehicle and utility tax rates will be 59.1 cents and 3 cents, respectively.
The projected revenue from the real and personal property and tangible tax is $1,324,918.
Last year, the district received $1,300,280.92.
Grant County came away unscathed in the redistricting plan approved by the General Assembly in the recently ended special session.
Residents in Grant County will continue to be represented by Rep. Brian Linder, R-Dry Ridge and Sen. Damon Thayer, R-Georgetown in the plan signed by Gov. Steve Beshear.
However, the total area which the legislators will represent has changed.
If you renovate it, they will come.
That's the hope for the new 9,000 square-foot Grant County Career Advancement Center located at the old JMB Center at 2020 Taft Highway in Dry Ridge.
Cells inside the Grant County Detention Center are holding fewer and fewer inmates, which could cause a financial problem at the jail and the county.
The inmate population on Aug. 21 was 214.
At the beginning of the year, it was common to have about 330 inmates daily.
The jail's capacity is 349, according to Jailer Terry Peeples.
Body Works Gym in Dry Ridge held a Camp Fit4AKid recently for fitness and health.
At Camp Fit4AKid, students participated in various outdoor activities promoting exercise. The students met new friends and were taught how to work as a team. This camp was designed to help children develop healthy habits for the future.
Grant County Jailer Terry Peeples is lashing out against a recent lawsuit filed by a former inmate, saying the suit is filled with "outrageous, false statements."
Lonzie Maggard-Owen and her husband, William Owen, filed the lawsuit Aug. 20 in Grant Circuit Court against the detention center, Jailer Terry Peeples, the Grant County Fiscal Court, two nurses and multiple deputy jailers.
Maggard-Owen claims she was pepper sprayed after being put in a restraint chair while waiting to be booked into the jail.
Kenton County police are investigating a body discovered by mowing crews on Interstate 75, just north of Crittenden.
The partially decomposed body of a female was found on Tuesday, Aug. 27, just south of the weigh station around 8:15 a.m.
State mowing crews reported they had found something suspicious to police, which later confirmed it was a body.
Police said they do not know how long the body had been on the side of the road.
The investigation is ongoing.

There's nothing sexier than wet female flesh, but this image is more to me than just the erotic aspect, and I hope you can see it as well. Goddess worship at it's finest.
I am certain this model was 18 years old or more at the time of this photo shoot. She prefers to remain anonymous, hence the special cropping.
I am certain this model was 18 years old or more at the time of this photo shoot. She prefers to remain anonymous, hence the special cropping.
I really like the moisture on the skin, it adds to the sexuality of this piece. I don't think the shot would be the same without it.
I agree completely. There is something to be said for wet female flesh.
The bone structure around her pelvis is also intriguing. Nice shadows.
That's pretty cool how you have such an appreciation for the female form, being a young female yourself. Are you ever going to show us your lovely curves, or are you still a minor? I would assume your not if you are able to view these images. I find it very sexy to see an empowered female like that with the confidence to display her self in such a personal way of self expression. It should be harmless fun that you have complete control of. If you don't like an image, you just don't show it. Some may dis you, but try to dismiss those twits and focus on those who appreciate what you're willing to share with us. Either way it's all good.
I do agree, the human body is something beautiful that should be appreciated for what it is not feared for what people want to do to it haha. Unfortunately, not many people think like that, and for right now, I wouldn't want the wrong people to see something they would offend themselves with (because, honestly, when people say an image offends them, it's not the image's fault, it is their's lol) Maybe at a later junction in my life I'll be more willing to show my form, but for now I think it's best to play it safe.
That's funny how you stated that you fully understand it is their issue if they were to be offended, yet you still feel your not willing or able to express yourself that way? Interesting contradiction, but of course it's your prerogative and I would not want to see coercive. Just supportive.
It's just the situation of somebody like a parent or teacher finding it, and then I would be sacrificing a college education. It sucks that it isn't easy to have both, but for now that's how it needs to be. Like I said, maybe one day in the future when I have a more stable job and not so dependent on others, I would be more willing to display my form, you know?

Crash.Net F1 News
Lotus keen to keep Grosjean
23 July 2014
Having already confirmed that Pastor Maldonado will be staying at Enstone next season, Lotus has admitted that it is aiming to secure an unchanged line-up for 2015.
Speaking ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix in Budapest, deputy team principal Federico Gastaldi revealed that talks were already underway with Romain Grosjean, who would move into a third season with Lotus should a deal be reached. The Frenchman has scored Lotus' only points so far in a disappointing 2014 campaign, finishing eighth in the back-to-back races in Spain and Monaco but, despite hints that he may look to move elsewhere next season, Gastaldi is keen to keep him on board.
"Romain has been part of the Lotus F1 family for many years, even since his GP2 days," he pointed out, "Let's be honest…. Romain, as a top, top driver, is not happy with the 2014 season - and this is mirrored by everyone at the team. We cannot confirm anything just yet as the timing will be right when we are both comfortable to announce something. All I can say is that it's certainly the intention for Romain to stay at Enstone and continue what has been a great partnership and working relationship."
Maldonado's 're-signing' was little more than a formality, Gastaldi explained, with the Venezuelan moving into a second year with Lotus in 2015.
"We were validating the deal we have with Pastor, confirming that we have a multi-year deal, reinforcing from both sides our commitment to each other - it's a renewal of vows after a tough honeymoon, if you like!" he reasoned,
"Myself and Gérard Lopez spent a lot of time with Pastor in Hockenheim, where we sat down and discussed the future, which was all very positive. Pastor is very much part of the future at Enstone and it was a matter of routine for both parties to confirm that he has a multi-year deal and will be in one of our cockpits next season. We are very happy to confirm this in public, as is Pastor and his partners."

Taz on Nash and Punk
Dana White caused quite the controversy when he said that professional wrestling was fake. It elicited quite the rage from Taz. When asked how he felt about Kevin Nash and CM Punk using the same term to describe the industry, the ECW legend stated that he was fine with that because Nash and Punk have paid their dues to the business. They have sacrificed their bodies to entertain the fans for years.
August 9, 2015
Kevin Nash to GFW
Since they have worked together for years and have maintained a positive relationship outside the ring, the speculation is that Kevin Nash and Jeff Jarrett will be working together in some sort of capacity when GFW starts doing live events. However, that is very unlikely to happen. While it is true that Nash has constantly stated that he puts business first, the belief here is that he will remain loyal to Triple H and WWE, the company inducting him this year.
March 4, 2015
Kevin Nash backstage heat
While there were a lot of assumptions that there would be backstage heat on Kevin Nash for going on social media and telling fans that he has no intentions of ever doing business again with WWE, the opposite has been true. Management is aware that he is one of the guys in the industry that still enjoys pulling the wool over the eyes of fans. It is believed that Nash understand why the company had to suspend him and did not take it personal.

During the Civil War
Benjamin Theron of Galveston, an obscure consular
agent for France and vice consul for Spain, to General
Sam Houston and to Francis Richard Lubbock, governor of
Texas, provoked an international controversy that lasted for many
months during the Civil War.
The letters led to charges by the Confederacy that France was
plotting to gain a foothold in Texas. They caused much concern
in both the North and the South by revealing that the conflict
left both nations powerless to withstand European aggression.
But the question of whether the officious French consular agent
was acting on his own or was an agent initiating the first step
of a gigantic coup for France is still unanswered.
The letters that led to charges and countercharges read as
Will you be kind enough to inform me confidentially, of your
personal opinion on the following questions?
1st The annexation of the Republic of Texas to the United States,
was or was not a good political measure?
2d The act of disunion and of the Junction of the State of Texas
to the Southern States, was or was not another good or bad politic
taken by the State?
& 3d The re-establishment of the old Republic of Texas will or
will not be beneficial to our beloved adopted Country?
Your answer to these questions, Sir, will serve me as a guide in my
political correspondence with the governments which I have the honor
to represent.

I totally agree. The area around Holden Beach to Oak Island, North Carolina is very family oriented, clean, and less crowded.┬Ā
We were there for a week last month for a wedding with my (then) 11 month twins. We all had a blast.┬Ā

We're trying out Hilton Head, SC this summer. My boys will be about 16 months old when we go. We're going with my family, so there will be help and maybe the grandparents will spend a night in with the boys so my hubby and I can spend a night out
Twin boys born at 32wks, 6 days in Feb '10
I am a native Michigander but I live on Hilton Head Island, SC now. This place is very family friendly, and you'd be hard pressed to find bigger beaches at low tide anywhere else on the East Coast (thanks to how far we are tucked into to the coast). It's not flashy like Virginia Beach or Myrtle Beach (buildings cannot be taller than 6 stories and all signs must be made of wood--no McD's arches anywhere), and there are bike paths all over the island. It's as busy or as quiet as you want it to be.
Duq04, if you have any questions about restaurants or activities for your trip, let me know!
Twin boys! October 2010

My daughter was 1 at the time and it was perfect for us.

Ah, the joys of hot stove season. As recently as yesterday, the reports on the status of Russell Martin had it that the Yankees wanted to put off talks until after they settled things with Mariano Rivera and Andy Pettitte, and that Martin was willing to wait for them to do so before testing the free agent market. Today, however, those reports have taken a total 180 degree turn, as Jon Heyman relays that "progress" has been made between Martin and the Yankees over the weekend, and that the market for his services are beginning to develop, with the Rangers and Yankees interested in him, at the least. The interest in Martin, as well as the dearth of quality catching on the market, means that he's likely headed for a multi-year contract with someone, and the Yankees seem willing to add payroll to the 2014 ledger in order to keep their starting catcher in pinstripes.
6 thoughts on "Heyman: Martin talks "heating up""
They're going to have to bite the bullet on this and commit some post-2013 money. Not that it's a bad thing. Martin is a good catcher and a two or three year deal will buy time for Sanchez to develop, if he indeed is the heir apparent.
Personally I won't sacrifice the Yankees goal of getting under the Luxury Tax Threshold to sign Martin to a deal of 2 or more years. IF the Yankees do wind up signing Martin for more then 1 year that is the clearest indication that the Yankees do NOT intend to re-sign Granderson for the 2014. It may even indicate that Granderson's days as a Yankees will be over before the 2013 season ends. Just my opinion.
I don't think anyone would be surprised at a 2-3 year deal. I'ts been evident since Montero left that there is no immediate replacement in the system. NY could do worse than Martin for a few years. Let some of the younger guys develop, and in the meanwhile have excellent D and some pop in the lineup.
It will be interesting to see how the $189 million thing works out. It is difficult for NY (or any team) not to want to add that extra piece that may make the difference if the team has a chance, and NY consistently has a chance.
Help me out with something. I understand all the talk and reason for $189MM. But they were at what, like $209M this year? So they have $20M to cut off, right? Now I know some guys have contracts already going up, likely CC and Tex. They have Arod same or going down from now. Jeter has his option year, which is only $8-$9M vs his current $17M now. Obviously if they keep Cano and Grandy, both around $15-$16M now, each will be looking at raising prob at $4M per for Grandy and $8M per for Cano, So $12M higher for those 2 plus whatever Tex and CC are at. But what's coming off? Soriano at $13M per. Rivera at $15M (even if he signed for 2013). Pettite at $2M (no biggie). Swisher at $14M this year. AJ Burnett at $17M per (or whatever the Yanks still owe him for 2013, which is like $14M, I think). Kiroda will be $15M coming off if he's not back for 2014, after this one year deal.
Is it me or do I see roughly $83M per year coming off the books from 2012 before 2014? Even with say $12M in joint raises for Cano/Grandy, they can't be THAT paranoid about 2014 salary b/c it doesn't even seem like they are CLOSE to the $189. They would seemingly be at $126M if all else were equal. Now I know Phil and Joba and Gardner and RObertson will be arbitration eligible and get raises, but none to break the bank. All spare parts like Chavez, Jones, Ibanez, Ichiro aren't denting any budget plans.
So why be concerned about signing Martin for 2-3 years. We're going to have to replace Soriano, Swish, etc., but perhaps not at $13-$14M annual salaries. But even with the CC/Tex/Arod/Cano/Grandy giant contracts, is it me, or does $189M hardly mean belt tightening as much as it just means not to expect Hamilton, Upton, Bourn, etc just like there was no play on Pujols, Fielder, Wilson, Darvish, etc last winter?
I think you're underestimating how much rounding out the roster is likely to cost. For example, Phil and Joba will actually be free agents after this coming season.
So how about an update as to where they stand for now on guaranteed 2014 contracts, then estimates on raises for Phil/Joba/Cano/Grandy so we can see roughly how many spots to fill for roughly how much extra cash lying under Murdoch's couch?

Alcatel Lucent cuts service desk costs with standardised identity management
Alcatel-Lucent expects to cut the running cost...
This Article Covers
Risk management
Alcatel-Lucent expects to cut the running cost of its IT service desk by 10% and reduce password-related calls by 70% after completing a programme to standardise identity management software across operations in 130 countries.
Jean-Francois Relativo, project manager at Alcatel-Lucent, told Computer Weekly that the goal of the programme was to achieve a single set of processes for managing the digital identities of its 76,000 employees and contractors around the world.
"Identity management is at the heart of information systems, and by centralising control we have improved compliance with information security and other regulations with a complete audit trail of all user actions around the world," Relativo said.
The company has replaced a large number of different identity management processes and mainly proprietary software developed in-house with IBM's Tivoli identity management software.
Relativo said most of the cost savings would come from increased speed and efficiency through the use of standard and largely automated processes across the organisation.
These include the ability for users to reset passwords online without calling the helpdesk and the automatic disabling of user accounts when employees leave the company.
Alcatel-Lucent plans to expand its identity management programme to include users from its international network of business partners
In February this year, Alcatel-Lucent teamed up with HP to develop a product designed to secure service orientated architectures.
French telecommunications equipment manufacturer Alcatel initiated the programme three years ago. The company extended the project to include the operations of US firm Lucent technologies after the two companies merged in 2006.

text: HomeMonkey Mia - The Dolphins - Research Dolphin Research in Shark BayThe bottlenose dolphins of Monkey Mia and the Shark Bay region have been studied since 1982. Findings by the international team of researchers have contributed to the understanding of dolphins worldwide. Check out our fact sheet to learn more about bottlenose dolphins! A window to dolphin societyDolphin behaviour, ecology, genetics, development, communication, social structure, predators and prey are all studied at Monkey Mia. It is one of the most important dolphin research sites in the world. Much of what people know about bottlenose dolphin behaviour and social relationships comes from research conducted in the Shark Bay World Heritage Area. Many ground-breaking discoveries have been made, including the revelation that male dolphins form complex, multi-layered alliances (or 'gangs') like those of human males, but unlike those of any other animal. Researchers have also discovered that some females use tools while foraging, a skill they teach to their calves. Shark Bay is the only place in the world where wild dolphins have been observed using tools. Watch a video of this amazing behaviour here (50sec)! Other research projects study dolphin reproduction, calf development, foraging strategies and interactions between sharks and dolphins. All research is conducted without capturing or tagging the dolphins. Knowledge as a force in conservationResearch conducted in Shark Bay has played a direct role in the protection and conservation of dolphins locally and internationally. It has been particularly useful in reducing human impacts on dolphins. Insight into dolphins' intellectual and emotional lives has heightened awareness of the need to protect the welfare of individual dolphins, as well as their habitat. Research has influenced the management of dolphin-focused tourism. For example, the discovery that provisioning (feeding) wild dolphins can lead to a decline in foraging techniques – even starvation – led the Department of Environment and Conservation to change its feeding policies. Learn more about the DEC's dolphin management here. Research on the impact of aquaculture on dolphin ranging and behaviour has helped limit the expansion of aquaculture in Shark Bay, benefiting dolphins and other marine species. These findings are also influencing aquaculture management in other parts of Australia, and in New Zealand. For more information about dolphin research in the Shark Bay World Heritage area, go to the Dolphins of Monkey Mia Research Foundation site. You can find research papers about other scientific studies here.

Scientists fear tremors at the Eyjafjallajokull (ay-yah-FYAH-lah-yer-kuhl) volcano could trigger an even more dangerous eruption at the nearby Katla volcano creating a worst-case scenario for the airline industry and travelers around the globe.
A Katla eruption would be 10 times stronger and shoot higher and larger plumes of ash into the air than its smaller neighbor, which has already brought European air travel to a standstill for five days and promises severe travel delays for days more.

WholeFoods Magazine SourceBook: The Natural Products Directory
On April 24, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued warning letters to 10 manufacturers and distributors of dietary supplements containing dimethylamylamine (DMAA). DMAA is commonly found in sports and weight-loss supplements.
Pittsburgh, PA—First-quarter sales for GNC Holdings Inc. better than expected. Revenues were $624.3 million, which was 23% higher than they were last year at this time.
Laguna Beach, CA—Richard A. Passwater, Ph.D., scientific editor/author of WholeFoods' Vitamin Connection column and well-known nutrition researcher, and fish oil authority Jorn Dyerberg, M.D., DMSc., have co-authored a new book about omega-3s that is due out this summer.
The 2012 Natural Products Expo West tradeshow was the largest in its 30-year history. Some 60,000 industry members attended the event, which ran March 8–11 at the Anaheim Convention Center. Show organizers said attendance of retail buyers grew 13% this year, which made for a good show, say many exhibitors.
Washington, D.C.—A recent study commissioned by the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) found that dietary supplement use for adults ages 18 and over is on the rise. Compared to 66% of adults in the U.S. in 2010, supplement usage is now at 69%.
New from Buried Treasure is Cardio Care+. This liquid supplement offers a combination of nutrients that are research-backed to have heart-protective properties, says the company. Says Buried Treasure, "These readily bioavailable Liquid Advantage vitamins, herbs, phytonutrients and antioxidants synergistically support cardiovascular health."
Herbalist & Alchemist now offers Maca Extract. The supplement is sourced from maca grown in Peru "and is a nutritious tonic that supports healthy sexual libido and function," says the company. Several sizes are available (1 oz, 2 oz, 4 oz, 8 oz and larger on request).
SRP: $13, 1 oz.
Diamond Herpanacine of PA introduces Diamond Eye Health, for long-term eye health using a combination of safe ingredients including beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, copper, lutein, zeaxanthin, bilberry, butcher's broom, eyebright, citrus bioflavonoids and CoQ10.
Jarrow Formulas launched PhosphOmega, a naturally bound phospholipid-omega-3 fatty acid complex. PhosphOmega is sourced from the pristine waters of the North Sea and derives from fish after the unbound omega-3 oil has been pushed out. PhosphOmega has undergone testing for toxins like heavy metals and PCBs.

5 Consumer Stocks Setting Up to Charge Higher in 2013
(WTW - Get Report). Like FBHS, Weight Watchers is forming an ascending triangle, with one big caveat: the ascending triangle setup in Weight Watchers is coming at the bottom of a downtrend instead of the top of an uptrend. Even so, the trading implications for both stocks are the same. In WTW's case, the buy signal comes on a breakout above $57.When you're looking at trades like WTW or FBHS, it's important to think about them in terms of buyers and sellers. After all, patterns like the rectangle don't work because of magic or geometry. Instead, it all comes down to supply and demand in the market. That resistance level at $57 is a price above which there's a glut of supply of shares (it's a place where sellers are more eager to sell and take gains than buyers are to buy). That's why a move above that level is a buy signal -- if WTW can print above $57, it means that increasingly eager buyers have absorbed all of that excess supply that was sitting overhead. It's worth noting that this could be more than just a short-term pop for WTW -- instead, it could be the start of a new major trend. That's because the 50-day and 200-day moving averages are both starting to roll over and turn higher. The move above $57 would also create a bullish moving average crossover, an added piece of confirmation for upside in this stock. With all of that in mind, it's critical to wait for the breakout before buying...Weight Watchers We're seeing almost the same setup in shares of Weight Watchers

not for trails, i'm not looking to destroy trails and ruin the fun for others. more of an urban assault bike, if you will. i was looking for some inexpensive disc brake wheels to run in the winter and bad weather (using the disc brake hub to mount bolt-on fixed gear cogs). how would these wheels look to people who know more about mtbs than i?
i may also just lace a surly fixed mtb hub to a rhynolite, and spend a bit more money later to relace it and another front hub to velocity rims and build a pair of 26" deep v's.

Another Tale of Courage - Colonel DPK Pillay is a brave heart in every sense !! Meet a soldier who took four bullets in his arm in a pitched battle with insurgents and saved the life of two critically injured children in Manipur. Eighteen years since the incident, Colonel DPK Pillay still shares a close bond with the people of the Manipuri village. Colonel Pillay recalls that fateful day in Longdaipabram village, which is 22 kms from the district Headquarters Tamelong in Manipur. "The militants were inside the room and rather than allowing them to pick and choose and fire us at will I had to intervene. I had to enter the room. I broke the door open and I got a burst of AK-47. The first burst came on my shoulder. I got three burst here and that guy corrected himself and he got a shot on my chest. One of them hurl a grenade, I don't know how I saw the grenade in the darkness but instantly I kicked the grenade and the grenade blew on my leg, taking a portion of my leg away," he says. This could have been every soldier's tale. But what he did next is what has brought him here today. Although wounded mortally in the gun fight, Colonel Pillay decided to evacuate and save the two children hit in the crossfire instead of his own. "The nearest hospital was about 6 hours. There's no way the children would have survived. I think I knew that I had 5 minutes of life left in me and I can hang on extra bit. So I told the pilot not to worry about me," he says. The village has not forgotten his act of kindness. The entire village has gathered to show their gratitude to Colonel Pillay for saving the lives of Masebiliu and Dingamang. He has also been inducted as an important member of the local community. His family, too, is proud of his selfless act. Sudha Pillay Tampi, Colonel Pillay's Cousin, says, "It's not everyday that you find somebody who is willing to die to save someone else. This tremendous quality of kindness which I find in my cousin is very blessed and I'm so proud of the awards he won and at the same time he's so humble." Although based in Delhi, Colonel Pillay's bond with the people of Longdaipabram village runs deep. And the good soldier is strengthening this bond by overseeing and contributing to the village livelihood programme. He has also been instrumental in bringing a motor-able road to the village. Brigadier BK Nair knew he had made the right choice when he posted the young Captain in the trouble-torn Manipur region. A North East and an Afghan war veteran, Brigadier Nair, unfortunately passed away recently. Colonel Pillay's Uncle Brigadier BK Nair said once, "I remember that night his mother called me up and I think she cursed me saying that what you have done to my son. I said I made a hero out of your son, look what he has done." At a time when the country is debating about a sense of alienation among the people from the northeast, the bond between the people of Longdaipabram and Colonel Pillay is an example of how an individual's act of courage and sacrifice can bridge differences

Mayor Seeks Reelection, but Isn't on the Ballot ; Washington, D.C., Chief Is Write-In for Sept. 10 Primary
Ianzito, Christina, The Christian Science Monitor
Four years after this city celebrated the end of the mayoral reign of Marion Barry, legendary for being jailed for cocaine possession, the popular Mayor Anthony Williams is up for reelection. But thanks to his own campaign's mistakes, Mr. Williams won't be on the ballot in the Sept. 10 Democratic primary. Instead, there will be, among others, a former exotic ballet dancer and a man once convicted of biting a tow-truck operator.
Williams, a bow-tie-wearing Ivy League graduate, has, by most reckonings, added some dignity to the office since he was elected in a landslide in 1998. He's doubtlessly lifted the city government up from the morass of cronyism and scandal that marked the era of Barry (who was actually reelected after his jail term), and he's submitted a balanced budget four years in a row. But a humiliating disqualification during the nomination process this summer means he's been relegated to write-in status, and his downgrade has pushed other candidates into the race.
Now, Williams must use his vaunted conciliatory skills to persuade voters to add his name on their ballots. The whole affair, meanwhile, has the nation's capital starting to fear it may again be known for its farcically inept local politics.
"We set the bar very low for mayor in this city," says local political commentator Mark Plotkin, who's no fan of Williams. He surmises that the mayor was elected - and probably will be reelected - at least in part because he doesn't embarrass the powerful people in this economically and racially divided (though overwhelmingly Democratic) town. "If the DMV works, and garbage gets picked up, then the well-off part of the city is happy."
A Robin Hood signature
A few weeks ago, the District of Columbia Board of Elections and Ethics found that more than half of the 10,102 signatures on the mayor's nominating petition had been forged. This, allegedly, was the work of a few wildly incompetent campaign workers, who'd listed names that included British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Robin Hood, and Billy Joel. The D.C. Court of Appeals confirmed the ruling that barred the mayor from the primary ballot, and fined him $277,700 for petition fraud.
Since then, the pro-Williams forces have had to cobble together and wage an energetic campaign for his write-in candidacy. Posters throughout the city ask voters to "Do the WRITE thing," while in letters to constituents, the mayor takes the opportunity to "personally apologize for the poor judgment and inexcusable actions of my early campaign organization."
The letter also begs voters to "please write in 'Anthony Williams' on the Mayoral line on your ballot. …

A Starry, Starry Night - A Concert To Benefit The Restoration Of The Norfolk Music Shed
Broadway composer and arranger Kim Scharnberg is planning a different kind of wedding to fellow musician and partner Gwynn Griffin this month. The couple is planning a reception that will double as a benefit concert, complete with a starry Broadway line-up.
All proceeds will go towards the restoration of the Norfolk Music Shed in Connecticut.

Remember back in the summer, when you had to put up with overflowing garbage cans, foul odors and flies thanks to the city's longest garbage strike in history? Still mad about that?
*See also: Five Garbage Strikes That Have Changed the World
Well, Mayor Mike McGinn has some good news, and some not-so-good news, for you.The good news, he's announcing at a press conference this morning, is that garbage hauler Waste Management is going to pay--to the tune of a $1.24 million. That's because of a clause in the city contract with the company that provides for a hefty fine should a strike go over seven days.
This one was eight, ending August 2. That one extra day had the potential, according to the contract, of costing the company a maximum $1.25 million. But the contract doesn't make the fine automatic. It's tied to exactly how much garbage was left sitting out, rotting and collecting flies.
The city sent inspectors out to tally the sorry total, then sat down with Waste Management to present its case. In the end, the city and the company agreed on an amount that fell only $100,000 short of the maximum fine possible.
The not-so-good news is that you are going to get very little of that money. In Seattle, Waste Management serves 90,000 households, 2,200 apartments and 4,500 businesses. So even though the settlement money is going to be shared with them all, $1.24 million doesn't go that far. To be exact, each household will get a $10 credit on its garbage bill for the November-December period, while apartments, condominiums and businesses get a $50 credit.
As McGinn points out in a statement, though, the threat of a substantial fine helped bring an end to the strike. Perhaps, by carrying through with it, the city will help prevent another one.

NORESCO's Sustainability Services Group Helps San Diego Airport Earn World's First LEED® Platinum Certification For A Commercial Airport Terminal
WESTBOROUGH, Mass., June 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- With guidance from NORESCO's Sustainability Services group, San Diego International Airport (SDIA) has achieved LEED® Platinum certification from the U.S. Green Building Council® (USGBC®) for the airport's Green Build terminal expansion. SDIA is the first commercial airport terminal in the world to earn LEED's highest rating. NORESCO provided LEED project management during the design and construction phases for Terminal 2 West. NORESCO is one of the largest energy services companies in the U.S. and a part of UTC Building & Industrial Systems, a unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX). The airport's largest improvement project adds 10 new gates, expands Terminal 2 by 460,000 square feet and adds 1.3 million square feet of new aircraft apron and taxiway areas. Sustainable elements instrumental in achieving LEED Platinum include high-performance glazing, a new efficient baggage-handling system, access to daylight and views, materials selection, a commitment to measure and verify energy performance during building operation, and diversion of more than 90 percent of construction waste from landfills.Additional sustainability strategies include use of on-site solar power, installation of low-flow fixtures for water conservation, early application of energy modeling to inform system selection and the implementation of numerous energy conservation measures to reduce energy loads. The project also sourced products with low volatile organic compounds (VOCs), actively managed indoor air quality during construction and tested air quality for particulates and toxins at occupancy. SDIA proves it is possible for atypical buildings to achieve the highest levels of LEED, setting an example for the aviation industry to promote resource conservation. "Involvement in this prestigious achievement with SDIA has been extraordinary," said Troy Walters, vice president and general manager, NORESCO Sustainability Services. "SDIA is paving the way for other airports to reach for excellence in sustainability and operational efficiency." Rick Fedrizzi, president, CEO and founding chair, USGBC, said, " San Diego International Airport's LEED certification demonstrates tremendous green building leadership. The urgency of USGBC's mission has challenged the industry to move faster and reach further than ever before, and the Green Build serves as a prime example of just how much we can accomplish." When NORESCO engaged with SDIA, the team discovered the airport already supported an award-winning recycling program, practiced habitat protection and tracked annual sustainability performance to the Global Reporting Initiative guidelines. Leveraging these stewardship programs, NORESCO encouraged the design and construction team to reach higher than the initial LEED Silver target. Then, with LEED Gold in range, NORESCO championed LEED Platinum. SDIA achieved that pinnacle when the airport agreed to install a rooftop photovoltaic system to convert San Diego's abundant sunshine into on-site electricity.

I now take one every night before going to bed and I definitely sleep better, also the nausea and dizziness I had before are gone.

This excellent product has helped me fall asleep faster or just calm down when tense about stressful deadlines. It doesn't knock me out like a sleeping pill, it just keeps me from waking up and looking at my alarm clock, anxious about getting started on what seemed like mission impossible at work. I would recommend it to anyone who feels overwhelmed, or has trouble sleeping (doctor permitting).

Officials at the State Land Office have been busy reviewing records and charting a legal strategy as they consider what to do about a massive tire dump that stretches through a remote arroyo in northeastern New Mexico.
Land Commissioner Ray Powell said his office expects to have a plan in place soon for dealing with the thousands of tires that are filling the dry wash. Powell was alerted to the tire dump by Albuquerque television station KRQE.
Former Las Vegas resident Amber Sena is getting national exposure after winning the 2011 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Art Competition.
Now a resident of Brooklyn, Sena created the winning art that was featured at the 135-year-old competition held last month. The charcoal and pastel piece is titled "Canon of Canine."
"I'm just a small-town girl from Vegas who happened to have something exciting happen recently," said Sena, a graduate of New Mexico Highlands University and Robertson High School.
One year after a majority of voters signed off on a new charter for the city of Las Vegas, its validity remains up in the air.
And with the new charter scheduled to take effect in a year, the mayor and city attorney are hoping to get the issue resolved once and for all.
The City Council is slated to take up the issue publicly at its meeting this Wednesday.
The city has hired local attorney Luis Juarez to prepare a petition asking a judge to issue a ruling on the charter, which essentially serves as the city's constitution.
Amid pledges to make sure that area residents get their money's worth, Mayor Alfonso Ortiz and other city officials held a groundbreaking ceremony Friday for a $420,000 solid waste project that includes a major overhaul of the transfer station on Airport Road and the purchase of new dump trucks.
"We are going to do things that should have been done many, many years ago," Ortiz said.
The mayor said citizens are financing a worthwhile, and essential project that will help the city do a better job of controlling litter.
The explosion that destroyed John Singletary's Church Street home and shook part of Old Town last month was caused by a leak in the city's main natural gas line, according to reports from the state fire marshal's office and the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission's Pipeline Safety Bureau.
The daughter of the 45-year-old woman whose remains were discovered in Mora County last month had reached out to authorities, reporting in late January that she hadn't heard from her mother since before Christmas.
State police aren't saying much publicly about the death of Maxine Patsy Trujillo whose remains were found scattered between two properties in mid-February. But a state police search warrant affidavit filed in 4th Judicial District Court in Las Vegas last month sheds light on the case.
Robertson High School sophomore Katie Houdek needed to do a service project for her confirmation class, so she hosted a "Heroes Welcome Lunch" for city police and firefighters at the Abe Montoya Recreation Center on Tuesday.
"Police and firemen do a lot for us, and they don't get paid very much," Houdek said, noting that they put their lives on the line every day.
"So it's good to appreciate them," she said.
Las Vegas Optic
A 29-year-old Las Vegas man was beaten so severely this past weekend that he had to be airlifted to a Denver hospital.
Chris Manzanares, who lives on Rita Drive, suffered severe head injuries from the attack, which happened at about 1:30 a.m. Saturday on the 700 block of Pecos Street, according to a city police report.
The incident remains under investigation.
The state Environment Department sprang a pop inspection on the city's solid waste facility on Airport Road earlier this year, and the facility's lackluster performance has Las Vegas officials working to address the handful of violations found.
Dozens of spectators took in the spectacular site of 2,200-degree metal heated for a performance casting demonstration on Thursday evening.
The molten metal created dramatic effects of fire and movement. The demonstration was part of New Mexico Highlands University's Iron Tribe, a biannual event featuring the work of U.S. and international iron artists in an exhibit in the university's Burris Hall Gallery.
The event, which has gained widespread reputation, was started by fine arts professor David Lobdell.
