That's a pretty interesting tool, but I notice one thing that really concerns me. It looks like they've renumbered all of the sections. It used to be that the odd sections were on the third base side and the even ones were on the first base side. They grew larger as you moved away from home plate. Now, it appears that they start in left field and grow larger as you move around counter clockwise.
Now, I have to remember that 127 is right behind the plate, unless you're in the upper deck. Then, it's about 420 or 421. This is a tremendous pain!
I have four dugout box seats and premier parking permit. We are thinking of going and willing to part with two tickets but willing to discuss others.

Shippers may expect subtle shift in ocean carrier deployments
April 21, 2014
The newly created and expanded alliances of P3 and G6 will certainly review and revise port calls, but the shift in initial deployments will be subtle, says Neil Davidson, senior analyst of ports and terminals for Drewry Research.
"However, it is in the carrier's best interest to serve as many ports directly as possible in order to offer the best service to cargo owners," says Davidson.
Furthermore, Davidson says that carriers will still call on all the key ports where there's a concentration of consumers. "So in this sense there may not be much change to the list of ports called. But bigger ships do mean reduced service frequency, or at least less port calls per year, leading to more peaking of port volumes."
Davidson says that anticipation of a breakdown in dockside labor contracting on the U.S. West Coast should also be considered when discussing the state of the ports this year. "I imagine that most shippers, through past experience of similar issues, have contingency plans in place for diversions if necessary. Shippers will adopt a wait and see approach though," he says.
Finally, Davidson adds that the impact of the expanded Panama Canal still remains to be seen. "East Coast U.S. ports are hoping to gain share from the West Coast ports, but they won't give it up easily," he notes. "Plus, it's not just about port capacity, but also about inland and intermodal capacity."
In addition, there are two key unknowns about the future, says Davidson. First, the level of the new Canal vessel tolls is yet to be determined, and we have yet to see how the U.S. and Canadian railroads will react to the expanded Canal.
"Both of these will have a big influence on which way cargo is routed," says Davidson. "Most likely time sensitive cargoes will continue to move via the West Coast, but cost sensitive cargoes will be more tempted to use the Canal."

Managing Your Migraines
18 Signs You're Having a Migraine
How to tell you're having a migraine
by Karen Pallarito
Nearly 30 million people in the United States have migraines, and three times as many women as men have them.
Migraines are pulsating headaches, often on one side of the head. Physical activity may intensify the pain, but symptoms can vary from person to person and from one attack to the next.
"In patients who have migraines, we're going to treat all of their headaches as potential migraines," says Anne Calhoun, MD, partner and cofounder of the Carolina Headache Institute, in Chapel Hill, N.C.
Here are 18 ways to identify migraines.

Saturday (November 23) marked the 20-year anniversary of Snoop Dogg's heralded debut album, Doggystyle.
In an interview with MTV News, Snoop reflected on what the project meant to him. "Back then it meant a lot because it was being able to stand on my own two feet and put out a project for the first time and to actually be heard and seen for who I am individually," said Snoop. "Now what it means, it's an accomplishment. Looking back at it, it was very well put together, it was standards, it showed me the way to do it, the only way to do it, even though I haven't always stuck to that high standard."
Snoop admitted that he has never giving the record a proper listen."I don't believe I've ever listened to the whole album and I'm being honest with you," he said. "I ain't never listen to Doggystyle top to bottom. I may have listened to songs, but I never listen to any of my projects to to bottom."
Snoop discussed his favorite songs from the project. "On that record, my favorite song was probably either 'Murder Was The Case' or 'Gz and Hustlas.' 'Gz and Hustlas' was easy; it was supposed to be a mic check. I was supposed to go in there, and when I mic checked, I freestyled, and whatever came out is the record that you hear."
"'Murder Was the Case,' that was kinda hard because I started writing on another beat and I was writing a different kinda story," said Snoop. "And then once Dre gave me that beat the story came to life and it was like I'm writing a story about me making a deal with the Devil, me going to jail,"
Watch the interview below:

Doggystyle, which was one of the most anticipated debut Rap albums in Hip Hop history, sold over 800,000 copies in its first week, which set the record for a debut artist and fastest-selling album ever until Eminem's The Marshall Mathers LP.

Tennessee Shakespeare Company Stages Romeo and Juliet at Germantown Performing Arts Center January 28 and 30
Part of its renowned Romeo and Juliet Project funded by the National Endowment for the Arts
(Memphis, TN, January 9, 2014) – Tennessee Shakespeare Company brings a sweeping, youthful, full-cast production of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet to the Duncan-Williams Performance Hall at Germantown Performing Arts Center on January 28 and 30 at 7:00 pm. Opening night on January 28 will include a complimentary post-show reception with the actors.
Children 17 years and younger will be admitted FREE for both performances when accompanied by a paying, attending guardian. Limit: four per guardian.Directed by Stephanie Shine, Romeo and Juliet is part of Shakespeare for a New Generation, a national program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest. This marks the first time in TSC's young history that it has been nationally-recognized with NEA funding.
The professional, multi-ethnic cast of actors and designers from around the country also will feature a six-actor ensemble from the theatre department at the University of Memphis.
The production is part of TSC's larger social and educational investment in its community: The Romeo and Juliet Project. Piloted in 2012, funded locally by ArtsMemphis to expand into Memphis schools in 2013, and now funded by the NEA and ArtsMemphis for 2014, the Project will send TSC's actor-teachers into Carver, Booker T. Washington, Ridgeway, Kirby, and Bartlett High Schools to teach every Freshman the play through an interactive, three-day anti-violence residency through February.
Following both public performances on January 28 and 30, a special community forum with audiences, actors, and director will be moderated by TSC founding member, education author, and Hutchison Middle School Head Barry Gilmore to explore together the many situations in the play that implore us to look within ourselves for social remedy.
The Project will also offer three morning student matinees of Romeo and Juliet for Mid-South elementary, middle, and high school students. More than 2,000 students are expected to participate. To book your school, teachers and administrators may call TSC Education Manager Slade Kyle at (901) 759-0620.
The title roles in Romeo and Juliet will be played by Seattle-based actors, and real-life couple, Rachel Brun and Joey Shaw.
Joey Shaw most recently played Menecrates in Seattle Shakespeare Company's Antony and Cleopatra. In the past year he played Tybalt in Shakespeare Walla Walla's Romeo and Juliet and designed sound for their It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play, both directed by Stephanie Shine. University of Washington credits: Hair (Claude), Romeo and Juliet (Romeo), Macbeth (Macduff), and The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (Mitch).
Rachel Brun recently appeared at Seattle's Town Theatre in Domesticity and in Owen Meany's Christmas Pageant with Book-It Repertory Theatre. University of Washington credits: Stone Cold Dead Serious (Sharice), Macbeth (Lady Macduff), and Rough Magic (Miranda). Rachel appears as Gabrielle in the upcoming independent film, The Delicate Art of Bird Watching.
Returning to the TSC stage are Slade Kyle (Nurse, Tybalt), Cara McHugh (Lady Capulet), and Phil Darius Wallace* (Capulet, Apothecary). Performing for the first time with TSC are Isaac Anderson (Mercutio), Guillermo Jemmott (Benvolio), and Jamie Mann (Friar).
The University of Memphis ensemble includes Elizabeth Baines, Grace Bowers, Justin Burgess, Liz Kellicut, Matthew Nelson, and Joshua Tucker.
The design team includes the return of Bruce Bui's costumes with his associates Ashley Selberg and Haley Franklin, the properties of Kristen Greene, new fight choreography by Slade Kyle, and First Folio text consultancy by Neil Freeman in Vancouver. The scenic design is created by Los Angeles-based designer Elliot LaPlante, and the lighting design is created by Seattle-based Kent Cubbage.
"Romeo and Juliet contains the most breathtaking love scenes, the most riotous comedy, and the most heartbreaking sacrifice of young life of any of the plays, and all in one play," says director Shine, who also serves as TSC's Education Director. "It teaches us the most valuable lessons about the true evil of hate, the cleansing power of forgiveness, the necessity of bearing responsibility, and the freedom that accompanies truth.
"To lose young people to hate and violence is a punishment we feel too well in Memphis. Our daily news relays tragedies all too close to Romeo and Juliet. It is fitting that we use this play to introduce future generations to William Shakespeare and the great wisdom he offers. Maybe we can keep our children alive. It is fitting that the NEA is funding not only this production, but the three-day anti-violence residency that will partner with five Shelby County schools this year. One day, we may be able to serve all 40 public high schools in the county. Imagine the effect. And best of all, it is fitting we come together in the great numbers that performing at GPAC affords us so we may experience something together that may inspire us to create lasting change for our community."
Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet first appeared on stage in 1595. He borrowed the story from a poem published in 1562 titled The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet, written first in Italian by Bandell, then in English by Arthur Brooke. Shakespeare followed the poem's plot and used some of the same words for his dialogue.
As in all of the plays from which he borrows, his Romeo and Juliet is infused with deep humanity, new and unique characters, compacts the action into a few short days, and evolves the two young lovers into fully realized young people who build between them a love that is inclusive of their minds, spirits, and bodies. Until Shakespeare crafted his title characters for the stage, no other playwright had yet expressed so understandably the exhilaration, maturity, purity, and completeness of shared, young love.
Shakespeare also tells the entire story before his play begins – in his Prologue, written in 14-line sonnet form. What is popularly considered the greatest love story ever told is born in a world of rage. The ancient feud between the Capulet and Montague households infuses fair Verona with prejudice and hatred. No one ever says what started the violent feud, which prevents audiences from taking sides. Civilians are killing one another.
The only children of the houses of Montague and Capulet are teenagers Romeo and Juliet, and they are "star-cross'd." Fate is working against them, and these children will take their own lives because their love for one another cannot be requited in the world of violence their parents and ancestors have wrought. The suicides of Juliet and Romeo become the terrible sacrifice that is needed to end the rage. The children are unsavable, making the play a tragedy. But their deaths, and those of their young peers in the story, are remarkable for their timeless instruction to all ages.
"In response to violence, Romeo and Juliet offers us a great lesson in the power of individual choice, the freedom that truth brings, and, best of all, the hope for change," says Shine. "Romeo and Juliet shows us all what love and forgiveness can do to change a community for the better."

Tennessee Shakespeare Company
Announces Eighth Season of Plays and Education Programs:
Celebration 400
(Memphis, TN, September 1, 2015) – Tennessee Shakespeare Company (TSC), the Mid-South's professional classical theatre, today announced its 2015-16 performance season, which commemorates the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare's death with a celebration of plays, readings, salons, feasts, and extensive programming for children.
TSC continues its cultural/educational partnerships with the University of Memphis' Department of Theatre & Dance and with Dixon Gallery & Gardens. Full productions of Shakespeare's All's Well That Ends Well (Dixon) and Henry V (UofM) will feature professional, AEA casts from around the country and Memphis.
The Company also partners with the Memphis Hunt & Polo Club to feature three weeks of feasts and two-hour readings of Shakespeare plays that TSC has not yet produced. The Southern Literary Salons continue in September with a focus on Harper Lee, and in February spotlighting Ernest Hemingway in Key West. The Seventh Annual Shakespeare Gala at Germantown Performing Arts Center moves to April to commemorate Celebration 400 during the month of the 400th anniversary.
Running concurrently with the performance season are the expanded offerings of TSC's Education and Outreach Department.

Memphis, TN (July 27, 2015) – Tennessee Shakespeare Company, in partnership with the University of Memphis' Department of Theatre & Dance, presents its third and final developing musical reading on the U of M mainstage with The Oliver Experiment by Jeremy Desmon and Jeff Thomson on August 15 at 7:00 pm.Read More
Midsummer Night
Live music, glow sticks, and power chords!
Featuring Broadway's Katrina Lenk and Eric B. Anthony
Memphis, TN (June 15, 2015) – Tennessee Shakespeare Company, in partnership with the University of Memphis' Department of Theatre & Dance, presents its second developing musical reading on the U of M mainstage with Midsummer Night by Valerie Vigoda and Brendan Milburn on June 27 at 7:00 pm.
Tickets for the reading are just $15, or $10 for Students and Seniors.
Midsummer Night, directed by Janet Roston, is the second of three developing musicals in TSC's inaugural Showplace Memphis: Musical Works in Progress.
Broadway's Katrina Lenk and Eric B. Anthony
Sponsored by one of Broadway's elite musical licensing companies, Theatrical Rights Worldwide (TRW) and President/CEO Steve Spiegel, based in New York City, Showplace Memphis has been devised as the next creative stage for three musicals en route to full productions in New York and on the regional theatre circuit across the U.S. The first musical in Showplace Memphis last month was a very successful reading of Tenderly: The Rosemary Clooney Musical. The final musical will be a charming and surprising new piece, The Oliver Experiment (August 15).
TRW has selected the musicals, and the Actors' Equity casts and directors are coming from all around the country and Memphis.
The cast includes Broadway's Katrina Lenk (Once; Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark; The Miracle Worker) as Titania and Eric B. Anthony (The Lion King; Hairspray; Mary Poppins) as Puck.
Songwriters Brendan Milburn and Valerie Vigoda join with co-creator/director Janet Roston (Artistic Director of The Los Angeles Rock Opera Company) for this new take on William Shakespeare's beloved comedy A Midsummer Night's Dream. The musical is set within a modern-day rock festival. It's a rollicking collision of rock music, iambic pentameter, and hipsters – where rock stars Titania and Oberon quarrel, festival assistant Puck creates havoc, and roadie Bottom gets a chance to shine.
Keyboardist Milburn and electric violinist Vigoda have been singing and writing songs together for over 20 years, first for their band GrooveLily, and more recently for musical theatre and film. Theatre: Striking Twelve, Sleeping Beauty Wakes, Beautiful Poison, Wheelhouse, Toy Story: The Musical, Long Short Story, A Midsummer Night's Dream, its complete reworking as the rock musical Midsummer Night, and Ernest Shackleton Loves Me. Film: many songs for Tinker Bell for Disney animated movies. Additional music is provided by Gene Lewin.
The Midsummer Night creators and cast will collaborate and rehearse at the U of M for ten days leading up to its reading. Though it will be going through both script and music changes, Midsummer Night will be played and sung in its entirety and with musical accompaniment on the U of M's mainstage. No other design elements (scenic/costumes/lights) will be integrated.
Audiences will have an opportunity to speak with the actors and creators of Midsummer Night immediately following its reading. Audiences also will inform the production by completing an audience survey that will help the creative team in future development phases.Read More
Memphis Mayor AC Wharton, Jr. to Visit Tennessee Shakespeare Company's Romeo and Juliet Project in Action at East High School Monday, March 23
March 17, 2015 – Memphis Mayor AC Wharton, Jr. announced today he will observe first-hand Tennessee Shakespeare Company teaching and playing its Romeo and Juliet Project with 100 ninth graders in four simultaneous sessions at East High School on Monday, March 23 at 9:00 am.
"On behalf of TSC and our Board of Directors, I am so proud and honored to have Mayor Wharton joining our teachers in the classroom," said Project creator and TSC Education Director Stephanie Shine. "It was at the Mayor's urging we created this Project, and I am excited for him to see his challenge come to positive life."
Tennessee Shakespeare Company began its nationally-recognized, four-part performance and in-school residency in the Memphis area in January. The Project, now in its fourth year, brings a cast of eight professional actor-teachers into each Language Arts classroom at a participating school. Students are guided by the actors to live the play's urgent tragedy of young love amidst rage, experiencing its relevant story while ensuring that participating freshmen have a first exposure to Shakespeare that is active, rich, and rewarding.
As the teenagers in the play face armed violence, students discover positive actions available to them in their own lives in the face of real conflict. Student post-Project assessments have recorded a 20% increase in students' compassion as a result of their inclusion in The Romeo and Juliet Project, as well as a full letter grade increase, on average, in Language Arts classes.
The Residency concludes with an intimate performance by the actor-teachers of Romeo and Juliet, which encourages student participation.
By the end of March, The Romeo and Juliet Project will have performed the play 44 times in 27 Memphis area schools, and will have taught the Residency in 342 classroom visits in 11 schools. At least 4,360 high school Freshmen will be reached and positively affected by The Romeo and Juliet Project. That figure represents 34% of all freshmen in the Shelby County Schools system.
Tennessee Shakespeare Company is generously supported by:
Season Sponsors:
Arts Memphis, Barbara B. Apperson Angel Fund, Nancy Copp, FedEx Corporation, Independent Bank, International Paper, Rose M. Johnston, Ernest and Pat Kelly, Jr., Milton T. Schaeffer, Margaret and Owen Tabor, Ann and Wellford Tabor, Tennessee Arts Commission, and The University of Memphis.

In 1948, Sir Ludwig Guttmann organised a sports competition involving World War II veterans with a spinal cord-related injury in Stoke Mandeville, England. Four years later, competitors from Holland joined the Games, and the international movement, now known as the Paralympic Movement, was born.
Olympic-style games for athletes with a disability were organised for the first time in Rome in 1960. In Toronto in 1976, other disability groups were added and the idea of merging together different disability groups for international sports competitions was born. In the same year, the first Paralympic Winter Games took place in Sweden.

Top 50 trucking companies: Emerging from the shadows
"Customers understand it…Yield improvement is very important right now. It's been three or four tough years, and we need to rebound in terms of profitability in order to reinvest in our businesses." - Bill Logue, President and CEO of FedEx Freight
April 01, 2011
What do the Top 50 trucking companies have in common? That's easy. Leading CEOs and trucking analysts agree that their shared traits include shrewd and experienced management teams, an obsession with service and operational details, an ability to react quickly to market conditions, and a motivated work force.
Emerging from the roughest three-year economic cycle since the industry was deregulated, CEOs from Logistics Management's list of the Top 50 trucking companies say that they're now focused on improving yield and profits.
That's at the same time they're increasingly tailoring their services for each specific customer to satisfy changing shipper demands.
(Including fuel surcharges)
What's making the LM Top 50 tick? According to David Ross, trucking analyst for Stifel Nicolaus, the most important aspect of any Top 50 trucking company is the strength, ability, and breadth of experience of its management team.
"Management is number one," says Ross. "They all run the same trucks along similar networks, but it's how you run them that makes the difference. The best make the right decisions on how much to charge, what kind of capacity to bring on, and how much equipment to buy. It all starts with management."
How the Top 50 roll
FedEx Freight this year surpassed YRC Worldwide as the nation's largest less-than-truckload (LTL) carrier. It is at the forefront of industry changes. Bill Logue, president and CEO of FedEx Freight, says he draws his cues from Fred Smith, the founder and CEO of FedEx Corp. Logue says no detail at any of FedEx's operating units is too small for Smith to ignore.
"It's a culture created at the top," says Logue. "Fred has always emphasized that we are in business for the customer. But it's our employees who make that customer expect great things. We try and make every employee responsible for that customer treatment."
According to Douglas Stotlar, president and chief executive officer of Con-way, the No. 2 LTL carrier on our list, says that he sees several common characteristics in his operation and those of his chief competitors, including comprehensive service offerings, the ability to execute at high levels against stated service standards, and customers who appreciate a level of consistency.
Astute carrier executives are quick to point out that the lowest rate may not mean the best value. Increasingly, carriers are "bundling" their services to meet ever increasingly exacting shipper needs. As Stotlar told LM: "The price/value proposition we offer works to our customers' advantage."
Chuck Hammel, president of Pitt Ohio, No. 18 on LM's LTL list, agrees with Stotlar and says that he sees several similar trends. He's seeing more need for time-definite services, and also a move toward LTL shippers trying to increase volumes to qualify for a truckload shipment. Toward that end, Con-way recently bought Contract Freighters Inc., a major TL carrier, and now ranks as the 17th-largest TL carrier in the nation.
Hammel says he's also seeing more shippers seeking out financial information about their carriers. He says financially strong carriers will have an edge as shippers, under the new CSA 2010 standards, are able to find out more information about individual carriers.
"Carriers who are strengthening their balance sheets by paying down debt, recruiting the best drivers, and adjusting their pay and benefits to stay ahead of what could be a looming driver shortage will have an advantage," Hammel says.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- After spending reportedly nearly $300 million on an English soccer team, Shad Khan rolled out the red carpet on the First Coast on Friday.
The Jacksonville Jaguars owner welcomed representatives from the Fulham Football Club to EverBank Field.
The Fulham Football Club, currently on tour in Costa Rica, introduced the CEO, Alistair Mackintosh, manager, Martin Jol, and team captain, Brede Hangeland during the informal interview and photo opportunity in the Upper West Touchdown Club.
Khan bought the Fulham Football Club 100 percent, debt-free ownership of the team on July 12. His purchase of the team will mean that six of the 20 teams in the English Premier League will be owned by Americans.
Local soccer fans in Jacksonville are hoping that Fulham plays an
occasional exhibition game at EverBank Field during the course of Khan's
ownership of both teams.

Yemen's 'turnover'
and other news briefs
"Yemen's 'turnover'" Continued...
Yemen became the fourth country in the Middle East and Gulf region to undergo a transfer of power as a result of Arab Spring street revolts. But unlike Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya, change did not come through violent overthrow: The California-sized nation on the Arabian Peninsula on Feb. 21 elected vice president Abed Rabu Mansour Hadi to replace Ali Abdullah Saleh, who ruled Yemen for more than 30 years. Hadi's was the only name on the ballot-and Yemenis cheered the opportunity to vote in a brokered election after more than a year of upheaval and violence. But the peaceful transition of power is hardly a turnover: Saleh's son and nephews dominate the military and security forces, and Saleh himself will head the ruling General People's Congress party, which dominates the country's parliament.
Freeze and thaw
The Arctic cold and snow have passed, but a frozen Danube River has halted essential trade over much of Central Europe and is raising fears of flooding should it melt too fast. Already breaking ice has crushed hundreds of boats and barges along the 1,800-mile waterway. Record snowfall and a late January to early February freeze left the river 90 percent frozen, in some places 18 inches thick. While European countries have shifted away from inland waterways as their main shipping route, according to Stratfor, Central Europe, particularly Bulgaria and Romania, remains dependent on the Danube for nearly all freight transport.
The Feb. 17 passage in Congress of a yearlong extension of a payroll tax cut was mostly about avoiding a nasty election year political fight. The defiance displayed last December by fiscal conservatives over a two-month version of the extension did not materialize this time around. Republican leaders insisted that the rank-and-file drop their demand that an equal amount of budget cuts be included with the extension. The $143 billion package allows 160 million Americans to keep in their wallets an extra $80 each month. But the deal will increase the federal deficit by $89.3 billion over the next decade.
Even conservatives who opposed the package did tout the $5 billion in cuts it makes to a prevention fund created by Obamacare. After 2011 was marked by fierce fiscal battles, the payroll deal could signal an early end to significant congressional action on federal spending between now and November. That sets up the possibility of a legislative logjam after the elections. Lawmakers will have to revisit this extension and the Bush-era tax cuts, both of which expire at the end of 2012. Also on the lame duck calendar: votes to increase the debt ceiling again and to finalize the $1.2 trillion spending cuts mandated by the failure of last year's supercommittee on deficit reduction.
Sending agent
Two hundred years after the first American missionaries set off from the New England coast for India, the United States still sends more Christian missionaries abroad than any other country. Brazil is a distant second among missionary-sending countries. In 2010 the United States sent abroad 127,000 of the world's estimated 400,000 missionaries, according to Todd Johnson, director of the Center for the Study of Global Christianity at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in Massachusetts. Brazil sent 34,000, Johnson told Reuters news service.
Hall of Fame
When Gary Carter, 57, died from a malignant brain tumor on Feb. 16, he left behind a baseball Hall of Fame record that included 11 years as an All-Star catcher. He also left behind a testament on his Gary Carter Foundation website: "The Baseball Hall of Fame is something every player dreams about, but being a member of God's Hall of Fame is the greatest achievement of all. God offers each of us the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ. When we accept God's gift of salvation, our name is written in The Book of Life, guaranteeing us a place in heaven forever. I made that decision during spring training in 1973. ... You can become a member of God's Hall of Fame too, by making the same decision today."
One year later
As Japan prepares for the one-year anniversary of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami that killed an estimated 19,000 victims, survivors are facing mountainous reminders of the disaster: The Japanese government reported in February that they had cleared only 5 percent of the rubble created by the massive tsunami.
That means that carefully separated piles of debris-everything from clothing to appliances to cars-still line the roadsides and vacant lots of towns along Japan's northeastern coast. Garbage disposal was already a strict business for the small, island nation with limited space when the tsunami created an estimated 23 million tons of debris in the three hardest-hit prefectures alone.
But limited space isn't the only problem: Many residents in towns unaffected by the tsunami are hesitant to accept shipments of rubble for disposal because they fear the debris could be contaminated by radiation from the damaged Fukushima nuclear power plant.
In the disaster zone, the piles of debris are creating more than painful reminders: They also slow down rebuilding efforts for the thousands of homeless victims who remain in temporary shelters across the countryside.
Dead end in Pakistan?
What appeared to be a breakthrough in the high-profile 2011 assassination of Pakistan's minister of religious minorities may be a dead end. With the help of Interpol, officers arrested Abid Malik in Dubai and repatriated him to Pakistan on Feb. 13. After a week of questioning, Pakistani police failed to produce any evidence that linked Malik to the minister's death and asked an anti-terrorism court to acquit the suspect. Shahbaz Bhatti, who was the only Christian member of Pakistan's cabinet, was gunned down in his car on March 2, 2011. The 42-year-old Catholic Christian was an outspoken opponent of Pakistan's notorious blasphemy laws. Malik was one of two possible suspects identified by a Karachi clergyman who claimed the two men had quarreled with Bhatti over property rights. Bhatti's support of minorities made him a target among Islamist groups, and he was rarely without his security detail. As violence toward Christians in Pakistan grows, few assailants are prosecuted.
Chinese two-step
When Xi Jinping, a Communist official set to become China's next president, visited the White House on Feb. 14, President Barack Obama told the smiling leader: "I'm sure the American people welcome you." Outside the front gates, more than 200 protesters chanted and waved signs condemning Chinese policy on everything from Tibet to the country's notorious one-child policy. Some shouted: "Stop lying to the world."
It's a fitting contrast in a complex relationship: U.S. officials feel pressure to embrace China's economic might, while frowning on the country's egregious human-rights record. Talks with Xi remained mostly cordial, but several officials, including Obama, pressed the leader to allow more freedoms for dissidents and religious minorities. Xi-slated to assume leadership of China's Communist Party later this year, and the presidency next year--responded with a familiar refrain: He pointed out that America has human-rights abuses, too.
That didn't satisfy Hudson Institute fellow Michael Horowitz, who called on U.S. leaders to vigorously press for the release of six high-profile dissidents and Christians currently jailed in China: Horowitz showed symbolic solidarity with the prisoners by intentionally undergoing arrest while protesting in an illegal spot on Pennsylvania Avenue near the White House during Xi's visit. Authorities released Horowitz less than two hours later, but Chinese dissidents face a longer road: Some are serving 10-year prison sentences for criticizing the government.
As if to underscore China's determination to make its own decisions, officials denied a visa to the U.S. ambassador-at-large for international religious freedom, Suzan Johnson Cook. White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters on Feb. 16 that the White House raised the issue during Xi's visit, and that Chinese officials are reconsidering granting her permission to travel there.
Corporate tax talk
President Obama on Feb. 22 shook up the nation's debate over taxes by proposing sweeping changes to the corporate tax code. The president's goal: Lower the U.S. corporate tax rate from 35 percent, which is the second-highest in the world, to 28 percent and close loopholes that allow some companies to pay very little. "Our current corporate tax system is outdated, unfair, and inefficient," said Obama in a statement. "It provides tax breaks for moving jobs and profits overseas and hits companies that choose to stay in America with one of the highest tax rates in the world."
While conservatives hailed the idea of cutting rates and closing loopholes, they say that Obama's plan doesn't go far enough. J.D. Foster, a tax analyst at the Heritage Foundation, pointed out that the Obama plan is effectively a tax increase since the closed loopholes more than offset the lowered rates in terms of revenue. "That's not tax reform," wrote Foster. "That's just another tax hike in disguise." GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney favors lowering the corporate rate to 25 percent as part of a broader tax reform plan. Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich have called for corporate rates of 17.5 percent and 12.5 percent, respectively.
Business groups were encouraged by the various proposals. "It's official: President Obama, congressional leaders of both political parties and the Republican candidates for president all support lowering corporate tax rates," said John Engler, president of the Business Roundtable. "Now let the debate begin."
Burning tragedy
Honduran officials say they're working to determine the cause of one of the world's worst prison fires in a century: The Feb. 14 blaze at a jail in the town of Comayagua killed at least 350 inmates.
The fire may have begun when an inmate set his mattress on fire. Emergency crews said many prisoners died because firemen couldn't locate guards with keys to the cells. Survivor Antonio Valladaras recounted hearing prisoners cry for help: "Guards, we're burning, we're dying, open the cells."
The disaster highlighted deplorable prison conditions in Honduras, the country with the world's highest murder rate. Last year, a U.S. State Department report said that many Honduran prisoners endure malnutrition, lack of medical care, poor sanitation, rampant gang violence, and severe overcrowding. At least 856 men lived in the Comayagua prison, a jail designed for 500. Only two guards were on duty inside the prison on the night of the fire. Human-rights prosecutor German Enamorado said: "This tragedy could have been averted or at least not been so catastrophic if there had been an emergency system."
Pay up or shut down
South Sudan expelled the head of Chinese-Malaysian oil group Petrodar in a growing crisis over oil receipts with Sudan, the country it seceded from last July. Petrodar, the main oil firm operating in the country, pumped 230,000 barrels per day and exported South Sudanese oil through a Sudan pipeline running north to Port Sudan. But South Sudanese officials shut down oil production in January over Sudan's failure to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in oil receipts owed the South and its imposition of escalating pipeline transit fees. Since the country's breakup last year, Sudan's oil revenues, which used to make up 90 percent of the country's exports and were its main source of hard currency, have largely dried up. The oil crisis plus border disputes that have displaced thousands threaten all-out war between the two countries.

(Sports Network) - The Tampa Bay Lightning try to keep their perfect home
record intact on Tuesday night as they play host to the struggling Florida
The Lightning and Panthers are headed in opposite directions and are coming
off vastly different results against the same opponent over the weekend. Tampa
Bay notched a 5-1 win over Philadelphia on Sunday, one day after the Flyers
pounded the hosting Panthers by a 7-1 margin.
Anders Lindback yielded a goal 59 seconds in for the Bolts, but was perfect
the rest of the way and ended with 24 saves. He was backed by power-play goals
from Teddy Purcell and Vincent Lecavalier, while Steven Stamkos, Eric Brewer
and Victor Hedman all added goals.
"It was huge," Lecavalier said. "Guys are doing a great job and overall we
played a 60-minute game. We've been playing some good hockey, but tonight was
60 minutes."
Martin St. Louis extended his hot start by notching four assists, giving him
eight helpers and 11 points through the first five games. That has helped
Tampa Bay win each of its first three home games, including the initial two on
a current five-game residency.
The Lightning have outscored their opponents 15-6 over a three-game winning
streak overall and have also seen Stamkos log three goals and 10 points over
the first five games.
The Panthers, meanwhile, haven't had much success -- or many goals -- since
opening the season with a win over the visiting Carolina Hurricanes as they
have since been outscored 18-3 over a four-game slide.
Jose Theodore lasted just 20 minutes in Saturday's defeat, allowing three
goals on nine shots. Scott Clemmensen didn't fare any better over the final
two frames as he was beaten four times on 17 shots.
It is unknown who will start this game.
Peter Mueller scored Florida's lone goal on a breakaway late in the second
period to make it a 4-1 game, but the Flyers came right back with a goal 37
seconds later.
Florida head coach Kevin Dineen was blunt in his assessment of the game.
"We got our tails handed to us in every way," he said before eventually
cutting his postgame conference short.
While Dineen refused to blame injuries on his team's current troubles, the
Panthers did play on Saturday without Kris Versteeg, Stephen Weiss, Sean
Bergenheim and Marcel Goc.
Versteeg, though, could make his season debut in this game after sitting out
the first five games due to a lower body injury. The winger was second on
Florida last season with 23 goals.
The Panthers won their first two versus the Lightning last season before
dropping the final four encounters and have lost three of their past four in

The New England Patriots will wear black-ribbon logos on their helmets on Sunday in honor of the 26 victims of Friday's Connecticut elementary school tragedy.
The Patriots also will light 26 white flares during a moment of silence before Sunday night's game against the San Francisco 49ers.
The Patriots see Newtown as part of their New England base, and had a direct connection with Friday's tragedy.
The Kraft family, which owns the Patriots, also owns a box company, Rand-Whitney, that has a factory less than one mile from Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Rand-Whitney's parking lot was used Friday as a meeting area for media members after the tragic shooting at the school, a Patriots official said this weekend.
The New York Giants also will honor the victims by having S.H.E.S. (Sandy Hook Elementary School) written on their helmets for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons.
Giants coach Tom Coughlin also held a moment of silence for the victims at the team meeting at its Atlanta hotel on Saturday night, team sources told ESPN. Many players were visibly moved, the sources said. Most found out what happened in Newtown coming off the practice field on Friday.

Okay, this is one of my first maps... it's a goblin lair.
I'd love suggestions on ways to improve it, or just general comments about it.

Hi xv43,
I like the map
If you are looking for improvements, how do you plan to use the map? I guess you should consider adding a grid to it?

Should you be interested in using anything I posted on commercial purpose drop me a pm.
I plan on using it in maptool. I decided against having a built in grid because using the maptool provided one gives me more control over where the grid lies on the naturally shaped cavern.
That is an attractive, solid map imo. Good work!
Some points you might want to consider:
1) Your torch holders are lost against the black floor, making the flames 'float' a bit disconcertingly.
2) The 'wall' texture is nice but could use some grunging up.
3) More and different mushrooms?
Nice, keep up the good work.

Ya... MapTools lets you set up your own grid... Most VTT's do so I would advise against it, good choice with that.
Great looking map, the only improvement (probably for later maps since this one is in the complete stage) is that caves rarely have such smooth and curved walls, granted there are plenty of them out there, the feeling I get when I see it is something that should look a bit rougher and less circular. Other than that... great job, can't wait to see some more!

I suppose I could rough up the caverns a little more, make them more angular, although since this is a lair, maybe the goblins smoothed out the walls somewhat to make it more habitable... maybe they didn't, though, they're goblins!
I'm not sure what color I could make the torch holders to make them stand out a little more... any suggestions on that?
Oh the shape of the caves is great, I meant the texture.
I'd just put the torches close against the cave wall like in all the movies.
oh ya... leave it the way it is for sure... I was just suggesting it for a next map... that one has come along to far to go in and mess up the walls just because I personally think they aren't rough enough ... no no no.... won't have it...
Don't Forget!! Rate a Tutorial Today; Add a TAG to a thread today; CLICK on a GOOGLE ADLINK once today!
Really solid map.
No real criticisms.
If you want some stylistic tweaks:
I'd reduce the dominance of the earth texture after about 2 feet of wall. The strong crack pattern sort of detracts from the main focus.
I'm assuming the left section with the squares are sleeping mats of some sort? ? If they are not really ungoblin you might want to reduce their perfect straightness and\or give em some dirt.
On the right you have a couple of circles that look like barrels. You might want to gunge them up a bit and at least turn em a bit so that the grain is not identical on each one. Unless thats intentional for some reason.
Still either way I like the map.

Okay Guys, Who's Ready to Man Up?
There's no question that connoisseurship is alive and well in the City by the Bay. But this weekend, the ethos usually reserved for locavore food fans, handcrafted cocktailians and urban cyclists extends its reach into the menswear realm for what is, arguably, the first San Francisco event devoted to dapper style.
Dubbed Man Up, the three-day pop-up menswear shop organized by the Durable Goods Concern brings gear for guys sourced from an independent, mostly local cadre of retailers and designers to a temporary central Market Street home.

AMES, Iowa (AP) - A livestock specialist at Iowa State University says falling corn prices are generating some optimism that cattle farmers can again make money.
Historically high corn prices during the last several years drove up the cost of feed and many producers cut herd numbers as drought intensified.
Lee Schulz, a livestock specialist and assistant professor of economics, says producers have been in survival mode but are beginning to talk about expansion. There's interest in building new facilities and growing herds.
Feedlots made money on cattle sold in October, breaking a long streak of monthly losses.
He says it will take several years to build the herd with increased calf crops and increasing cattle supplies because of the time it takes for calves to mature.
Agri-Line - Le Mars Agricultural Connection
AMES, Iowa (AP) - A livestock specialist at Iowa State University says falling corn prices are generating some optimism that cattle farmers can again make money.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - This year's corn crop is the largest the nation has ever seen, and exceeds earlier government projections.
In its first report since the government shutdown, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said Friday it expects 13.99 billion bushels of corn. It had forecast 13.8 billion bushels. The previous record was 13.1 billion in 2009.
Heavy rains delayed spring planting and drought conditions returned to parts of the Midwest. Some analysts thought there would be a subpar harvest.
But adequate rain and cooler temperatures at pollination time produced exceptional results, especially in Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio.
Prices dropped below $4.20 a bushel Friday, the lowest since 2010.
That means some farmers see lower profits, but chicken, pork, and beef producers will have lower feed costs. Grocery prices won't be impacted.
(Le Mars) -- Farmers are making progress with this year's harvest. The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports 55 percent of Iowa's corn crop and 87 percent of the soybean crop have been harvested.
Monday's weekly report showed the corn crop was about 5 percentage points behind normal,
while The soybean harvest was about two days ahead of normal. Joel DeJong, Iowa State
University extension crop specialist says the soybean harvest in Plymouth County is close to completion.
Listen to
DeJong says generally the corn harvest is doing well, but a few farmers have had to deal with lodging issues and dropped ears.
Listen to
The crop specialist says the recent rains are helping replenish the lost soil moisture levels from the last two years due to the drought conditions.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Farmers in many states are surprised at the abundance of corn coming from their fields, and record harvests are likely in many states including Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, and Ohio.
In southeastern Nebraska, farmer Ben Steffen says his first field brought in 168 bushels an acre, above the average of 140.
The best crops are in areas with adequate rain and where corn pollinated amid cooler temperatures.
The positive surprise is welcome after the dismal harvest for many farmers last year when drought spread across the country reducing corn and soybean crops.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates this year's harvest to bring in 13.8 billion bushels of corn, beating the 2009 record of 13.1 billion bushels. Some analysts believe farmers may exceed the estimates.

Ploumanach Travel guide
Ploumanach : Michelin's recommendations
A seaside resort and fishing port on the Pink Granite Coast, Ploumanac'h with its enormous rocks is a splendid sight. A pathway runs along the rock-lined beach and visitors can then take the "Sentier des Douaniers" leading up to the lighthouse. Some of the rocks have been given names because of their shape (bottle, turtle, etc.). Facing the Sept-Îles archipelago, Ploumanac'h is a neighbour of Trégastel, another attractive resort.
