Holes in the roof of morgue 1 at crematorium 2?
13.81 The strength of the criticisms of the Leuchter report may explain why, as the trial progressed, the emphasis of Irving's case on Auschwitz appeared to shift from the absence of cyanide in the brick and plaster to the roof of morgue 1 at crematorium 2. As I have explained in paragraphs 7.91 to 7.93 above, Irving argues that there is no evidence of the presence of the chimneys or ducts by means of which, on the Defendants' case, Zyklon-B pellets were poured down from the roof of morgue 1 into the gas chamber below (where the Defendants claim most of the deaths occurred). In particular Irving relied on a photograph of part of the collapsed roof which displayed no evidence of the apertures through which the chimneys would have protruded.
13.82 As the Defendants point out, this argument has some curious features. Firstly, Irving embraced it relatively recently in late 1998 (so that it cannot have been the basis for his denials before that date of the existence of gas chambers at Auschwitz). Secondly, Irving appeared at one stage to accept that there was a gas chamber in morgue 1 at crematorium 2, albeit one that was used for fumigation and not for killing. In that case it would seem that ducts or some other form of aperture would have been required to introduce the pellets into the chamber, since the morgue had no windows and a single gas-tight door. Thirdly, the argument is confined to morgue 1 at crematorium 2. Although Irving spent hardly any time in his cross-examination of van Pelt on the evidence that gassing took place elsewhere at Auschwitz, it is the Defendants' case that gassing took place in other gas chambers, notably at crematorium 3.
13.83 Despite those curious features, Irving's argument deserves to be taken seriously. I have summarised the Defendants' response to it at paragraphs 7.109 to 7.111 above. In the end, the task for an historian is to weigh the evidence of the absence of signs of holes in the roof of the morgue against the opposing evidence that there were chimneys running through the roof. In my view van Pelt is right in his opinion that it is after so many years difficult to verify whether or not holes at one time existed in a roof which collapsed as long ago as 1944. It is unclear how much of the roof can be seen in the photograph on which Irving relies. The roof is in a bad state, so that it is hard to tell if there were holes in it. There is a possibility that the holes were backfilled. There is the evidence of eye-witnesses who observed or at least described pellets being poured down through the roof of the morgue. Olere's drawing depicts clearly the chimneys running up towards the roof the gas chamber. Their appearance in his drawing corresponds with the description of them by Tauber and others. Photographs taken in 1942 (or 1943) and 1944, whilst difficult to interpret, are consistent with the presence of protruding chimneys. In these circumstances, I consider that an objective historian, taking account of all the evidence, would conclude that the apparent absence of evidence of holes in the roof of morgue at crematorium 2 falls far short of being a good reason for rejecting the cumulative effect of the evidence on which the Defendants rely.

Your five predecessors were by design based on a similar predication, a contingent affirmation that was meant to create a profound attachment to the rest of your species, facilitating the function of the one. While the others experienced this in a very general way, your experience is far more specific. Vis-a-vis, love.

I live in an area that is very hilly. No matter which way I go, leaving my house I end up going up and down hills. I did the entire c25k on a treadmill in the basement, but now that it has cooled off, I'd really like to run outside as long as the weather holds. Trouble is, the hills. On the treadmill, I could set a pace where I was challenged, but I could breathe. On the street, I can't seem to get a pace where I can breathe at all normally. Walking I barely notice the hills, but as soon as I start to jog, I'm sucking wind. Even going downhill, I end up speeding up enough that I get a stitch in my side.
So, is it better to force myself to run the hills even though I'm gasping for air, admit defeat and walk them until I'm in better shape, or go back to the treadmill?
You will benefit greatly from hills and running outside. Do some of both for a while!
I, too, live in an area where hills are unavoidable. Didn't realize it until I started running, but I am basically on a ridge. I can't go more than a mile without going down a really big hill that I will have to go back up.
At this point, I would suggest just hitting the hills at the same effort as you are hitting the flats. If you have to walk... walk... Or jog-run (take a few steps jogging... then a few steps walking). Just try to keep your heart rate even.
Gradually, you will be OK running up the whole hill at a slower pace. It may cause a spike in your heart rate, but that's OK.
Eventually, you can look at the hills as good training opportunities. Trying to maintain your pace, or pick it up a bit can be great substitutes for speedwork.
Another important hint: When approaching a hill DO NOT LOOK UP THE HILL. Look at the ground, about 5 feet in front of you. This psychologically flattens the hill a great deal.
When running up hills throw your elbows back farther than you naturally would. The momentum helps. I saw this tip from a triathlon coach online and when I tried it I was shocked at how much it helped. Also, when running downhill lean forward a *tiny* bit. Instinctively we tend to lean back a smidge but this prevents gravity from helping us out.
Good luck on those hills!
My weight loss blog, pictures, etc (started in 2007):
hi Ginny,
I live in PA too so I know what you mean When I started, I was on a treadmill too. When I went outside to run the first time, I believe I jogged partway up the hills and then walked when I became too out of breath. Gradually I started trying to jog up them - what helped me was going REALLY slow, but still keeping the jogging "gait." I still go more slowly on the hills now, and it is much much easier.
I actively try to slow down when going downhill so I don't get shin splints or a stitch in my side. I figure I must look very odd going downhill at a slower pace than I would on flat ground, but oh well.
I also try to plan my route so that the hills are in the beginning/middle of a run rather than at the end. It is always more of a challenge at the end, although I still do that sometimes.
So I would say to take it slow and steady, and just attempt those hills. I think you'll find that once you get used to them, they can be an enjoyable and challenging part of your run! Good luck!

Ginny, hills can be great for your cardio fitness! It's so flat flat flat around my neighborhood that I have to plan ahead to get any hill work in at all.
Try shortening your stride going up hill, and lengthen it slightly going down, but keep the same rhythm in terms of steps per minute. If you have to slow to a walk partway up, try and go a little further every day without slowing.

Hills can be wonderful training tools. You can use them to build leg strength if you treat them as a type of interval training (run up the hill and then either walk or run slowly back down to recover). In routine training, or in a race, you will want to use a different strategy - run the hills at constant effort - that means to slow down for the uphills and speed up on the downhills. If the hills are relatively steep, the difference in uphill and downhill speed will be very pronounced. Bottom line...if they're in your neighborhood, use them to your advantage. (I live in a foothills neighborhood which is almost entirely rolling hills and very little flat ground. Hills are a part of the running life).
By the way, how steep are the hills in your area? A few percent difference in the incline will make a large difference in effort required. If the hills are particularly steep (more than a few percent incline), you can also use the treadmill to work up to them. Start with a low incline and progressively increase it over the weeks.

I don't know how steep the hills around me actually are - they just seem steep to me ;-) Mostly the neighborhood is gentle rolling hills, with 100 and 200 foot climbs, so not bad, except in spots. The one that I have to do starting out every time shows on mapmyrun as 167 feet over about .4 - so when walking I barely even notice it, but starting out a run I feel it! I know it will get easier as I improve my lung capacity, but for now I'm very slow. Most days I can run up that first hill all the way now, if I start out feeling good. I'm doing much better with the downhill stitches, now that I've learned to slow down, and I have been practicing going farther and farther each time as I go up the other hills around my home. There's usually at least one hill on my long run that I end up walking, but it has gotten better since I started this thread a month ago. My problem isn't my legs - they're strong - it's my lungs. So I can be grateful for hills, but still I dread them.
I've been doing most of my TM runs with an incline - but usually only 2% except when walking. Should I be increasing that to 4-5?
For what it is worth I would just try to do the hills outside. I have heard (and I don't know for sure) that putting the incline to a 1 or a 2 on the treadmill simply mimics running outside on flat ground with no hills. I have done two of the C25K runs on a treadmill due to weather and the running part was much easier but the mental part was tougher....the time went by SO SLOW! BELIEVE me, I want to do them all on the treadmill because no matter where I run from my house I have a lot of hills that I have to conquer. It is hard at first but I have noticed that I can do the hills faster now...I still get out of breath easier but for me I want the challenge.
My suggestion would be to at least try it for a couple days and just slow down your pace on those hills and maybe that will help. Over time you will get better at them. Good luck!

Yesterday, we were served a cease and desist notice by a consortium of large media companies (initially reported by Kara Swisher). Since then the issue has become a hot topic on many other outlets, and we should provide our perspective.
Before I begin, we want to say thanks to the outpouring of support from our users. Now, I'd like to give you some insight into how Zite works with content:
- Zite's content comes from a web crawl, the same way content is aggregated in the indexes of search engines like Google and Bing.
- Zite displays articles in reading mode, which changes how the page is rendered. Though we understand this can alter the layout and potentially eliminate ads, we made this design decision in order to give users a better reading experience. Reading mode is already common, e.g. Safari's Reader.
- We respect the decision of publishers who either use the noarchive metatag or explicitly tell us they want their content displayed in web mode – in either case, we render articles without reformatting.
We don't look at this as an adversarial situation. If the formal cease and desist we received from the big publishing companies yesterday was a one line email from the world's smallest blogger, we would treat it exactly the same: we would switch the content from reading mode to web view mode. That's it. This is not our legal position, it's just our policy. Zite is eager to work with publishers in a way that benefits everyone – most importantly end users.
We are already talking to some big publishers about doing just that. We'd love to hear from publishers directly about how we can work together and meet their needs at firstname.lastname@example.com. Also, we'd love to hear what you think, whether you're a user, a publisher, or an industry observer – please leave your comments below.

Update: great commentary from GigaOm.

I have done one triathlon previously, and I am scheduled to do a sprint in October of this year followed by the IronGirl in late Spring next year. I know I am by no means ready to do a full Ironman, but I am really ambitious to do one. My goal is to complete 2-3 triathlons a year over the next few years.
I have been a runner my entire life. I ran cross country in high school and college, and I have completed a few half and full marathons along the way. I started cycling seriously earlier this year, and I just completed my first century ride yesterday.
I guess my question is how do you know when you are ready for an Ironman? I would like to do one before 2012. I have no idea why I chose that year, but 5 years seemed like plenty of time to really get myself ready so I can finish. I am pretty weak in swimming, but I am working really hard to change that. I lift three times a week with a trainer.
If anyone has any advice on how to prepare or know when I am ready to conquer the Ironman I would be much appreciative. I don't know anyone who has ever done one before, so I have no one close to ask these questions.
Thanks in advance!
Stephanie keep the dream alive of doing an Ironman. Your goal of 2012 is well in reach. I have seen people set their goal and complete an Ironman in 1 to 2 years. Keep doing the tri's and those long Century rides you are the right track. I would look at doing a 70.3 next year to see what 1/2 the Ironman distance is all about. Eventually get yourself on a training program with good coaches involved like Gale Bernhardt. They can guide you to your dream a lot quicker than 5 years. Good Luck!
Thanks! I have this problem with aiming a little too big sometimes, so I am trying to give myself time. I don't want an Ironman to be my last race either. Haha! My goal is to finish it and do fairly well. I am getting married next summer, so triathlons for the second half of the year are probably not going to happen. I think I'll try to do a half early in 2009. Thanks for the advice! Stephanie
Runner Stephanie:
Be patient with your Ironman goals. Like so many of us who tri there is always a fine line between training and having fun and going a bit over the edge and getting too serious. You will know when you are ready to go for your first Ironman. One suggestion I have through my own experience is to get a very good coach who will guide you with patience and will listen to your needs. I have been trained both on-line and locally and have found that the local coach was a far better experience for me. I was fortunate to have group rides, track workouts and someone I could call and talk with, if needed. Do your research. I suggest meeting with anyone local and discussing your time and family commitments. I have friends who have trained with Multisport.com and markallen.com and have had a great experience. I have just been lucky to find a great local coach who is awesome. If it's available, you might want to join a tri club for community and training. My club typically has 10-20 members training for an IM distance race which helps and motivates.
Your Ironman training will require you to be focused on the goal for at least a year and very serious training for at least 6 months. Make sure your loved ones understand what will be required of you and them. I am lucky to have a very supportive wife and child who understand how important IM training and racing is for me. The experience should involve everyone and be as positive as can be. I keep family and work first and have to focus my training around that priority system. I have learned the hard way what will happen if training makes life imbalanced. It's not worth it and the eventual burnout and resentment for the sport becomes counterproductive. Even with the IM distance, if you can't have fun training for and racing it, it's not worth it.
As sappy as it sounds, the IM journey is about learning and discovering a part of yourself you would not otherwise be able to. It needs to be challenging but spiritual too.
I think you'll know when you're ready to chase an Ironman. Don't push it as they will always be there for you. Once you commit to it, the time training for it will be one of the greatest experiences and most challenging of your life and the race itself will be unbelievably tremendous.
Great job on making that a goal. Go for it!
Some good info here for you. You sound like you are well on your way. My goal is to complete IM Wisconsin next year. I have not yet done a full marathon though, so you are way ahead of the game. I waited until I had done a few half marathons before completing the Whirlpool Steelhead 70.3 this year, it was a great experience, and it has got me excited to do a full. I trained hard for 6 months for Steelhead, finished and felt great at the end. Does anyone think its necessary to do a full marathon before begginning training for an IM though?
I think 2012 is just too far away. I just completed my first Ironman in Louisville last weekend and it was great fun. My dream of doing one started last summer. In the past I had done adventure racing for a few years and only 1 sprint tri. So I sign up for a half Ironman to do in May of 2007 and Louisville Aug 2007 and started training. I finished the half IM strong but I a little slow in the full, but I finished! I got the bug bad and I'm already planning for the next full and I know now what my weakness is and I can focus on it (FYI its running). So I think you should just go for it.
I'm not an ironman or a coach but i've always heard a full marathon is not necessary before your first ironman. they are totally different races and a lot of training plans limit your long runs to under 3/ 3.5 hrs more than that your risk injury for very little return.
goals for 2011:
break 19minutes for 5k
break 2:42 for olympic triathlon probably Anthracite olympic
break 3:16 for marathon ( a long shot but it's fun putting yourself out there)
sounds like your pretty fit, I bet you could do one next year!
check out Endurance Nation. lots of good things there.
You definitely have a good background for it. I agree you dont need to wait that long and would judge more how you feel as you progress in race distances. I would make sure you have atleast one half Ironman you felt good about before progressing. Also, you really need to start looking into a nutrition plan and trial and error it during training. As you do 70.3 and higher you have to go into the race knowing what works for you as far as fluid and nutrition intake. Some good points made already, definitely get a good training plan (I used Multisports.com and really like their approach). Also it really helps to have a training group for those long bike rides. Personally I think it is good you have done a full marathon so you are psychologically ready to be out there on the run that long and will be better able to 'cheer yourself up' during possible rough patches. Keep in mind that just because you are going through a 'bad patch' on the bike, you may feel 'great' once you get on the run. Great goal and good luck, you can definitealy do it!!
First off great job of dreaming big! I am a certified triathlon coach and 5 years is PLENTY of time. Many people planning to do their first IM have years under their belt, but I have also seen some people do them in as short as 1 year. Sounds like you have a very good running background which is great because you have experienced some of the longer training schedules. I would say to give yourself confidence you could ramp up your races in say 3 years. 1st year a few races with the longest being an international distance, 2nd year a few races with longest 1/2 IM and 3rd year a few races including an IM.
A few things to note a proper training program for an IM is on average about 6 to 8 months with base builds peaks etc depending on who you are working with and also when signing up for an IM note you have to sign up 1 full year in advance (day after the previous years race). Also talk with family members, boyfriend, husband so it is cool to have some longer trainging weeks/days, last thing you want is people not supporting your dream.
Good Luck!
The only difference between a Dream and a Goal, is you write it down, and since you have just written it down in your blog, you are on your way to completing your IM. The hardest part is over, the mental commitment to do it...
Pick the IM you want to finish, and work backswords on time and get a coach...
It's what I am doing, I picked the IM, then Picked a 70.3 before that one, then picked an Olympic before that one and then a sprint to start it off, then found a coach and presto, on the way - did the Sprint, placed 3rd in my age group - the Olympic is in 2 weeks, the 70.3 is one month after and then the big IM in April 08.
Though, the cost for coach and bike and wet suit etc etc, was more than I had thought, but how often do we get to complete our dreams...

Longtime Breckenridge local Richard Orwig, known to friends as Dick, died Wednesday night at the age of 82.
His death is still under investigation, according to a report from the Summit County Coroner's Office.
Orwig was originally from Youngstown, Ohio, but had lived in Breckenridge with his wife, Maryellen, since 1976. The couple owned and ran several retail stores before their retirement and were regulars out at local restaurants in the community long afterward.
Orwig was a big supporter of the Breckenridge Film Festival, known for giving opening night parties and participated in the town's annual Fourth of July parade.
"He was one of the good shoot 'em up cowboy guys," longtime friend and Summit County manager Gary Martinez said. "It's too bad. We'll remember him next year."
Orwig walked in the Independence Day parade right up through this year, into his 80s. Even then, his only disappointment with the event was that the fire danger prevented him from participating in the traditional Old West shoot-out as part of the parade.
Orwig's wife, Maryellen died last year, succumbing to a series of ongoing health problems. The couple have two children, Richard (Rick) and Elizabeth (Liz).

U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte has turned bossy. The New Hampshire Republican has joined the movement to ban the word �bossy,� at least when applied to girls. Why is Bossy Ayotte ordering us not to use the word?

The evening of 10 September was warm and still. Aoife Keane, a twenty-year-old Dublin psychology student, the daughter of my friend Michael Keane, former editor of the Sunday Press newspaper in Ireland, arrived to stay with us for a few days. It was her first time in New York. We went out onto our little balcony and she gazed up in wonder at the lights of the twin towers high above us. The building was constructed without light switches and the lights were never extinguished, day or night. She said, "I am going to go to the top tomorrow morning."
Aoife was still asleep the next day in the guest room, and Zhanna, my wife had gone to her office uptown, where she worked as director of development for the Geneva-based International Baccalaureate, when American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the north tower at 8.46 a.m., laden with 10,000 gallons of fuel. The plane had flown past my apartment block, but downtown Manhattan is a very noisy place and I don't remember hearing it as I worked on an article on how the economic downturn was affecting New York's restaurants. When the bang shook our building, I thought, from years of monitoring the sound of explosions, that it was a bomb.
I jumped up and saw a gaping hole near the top of the north tower, the nearest of the two towers, with flames and black smoke pouring out. I made several quick telephone calls, to my news desk, to my Irish Times colleague Paddy Smyth in Washington DC, and to Zhanna. I also called RTÉ, to which I often gave interviews, to alert them to what had happened. It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon in Ireland. They asked me to go on air immediately. Just before the broadcast I heard the RTÉ announcer report a newsflash about an aircraft hitting the World Trade Center. Only then did I realise what it was.
I woke Aoife after the interview. "Get up, something terrible has happened," I said. At this stage I didn't know if it was an accident or an attack. From the living room window I trained my old pair of Russian military binoculars on a man at a window of the north tower. He was standing on a window ledge of the ninety-second or ninety-third floor, hanging out above Vesey Street 300 metres below. There was black smoke pouring from the row of narrow, vestry-like windows beside and above him. He was waving a white cloth. It looked like his shirt. He was in his thirties, I would say, and a little overweight.
Then Aoife said with a gasp, "There's another plane!" United Flight 175 skimmed over the Hudson River to our right and smashed into the south tower between the seventy-eighth and eighty-fourth floors, creating a huge orange and black fireball and showering Broadway with flaming debris. There was no doubt now that this was an act of war and I recall thinking that there would be terrible retribution. We watched helplessly as dozens of heart-wrenching individual tragedies were enacted within our gaze. More people appeared at upper-storey windows crying soundlessly for assistance. We saw five fall to their deaths in a short space of time. Flames began to leap from the side of the nearby Marriott hotel, drenched with burning fuel. About two dozen fire engines came wailing down West Side Highway and screeched to a halt outside the north tower. Scores of firemen ran into the buildings laden down with gear.
After a few minutes I decided to go to the twin towers myself, and took the lift to the ground floor forty-two storeys below. As I passed through the lobby of my building, a woman was in hysterics; her husband worked in the World Trade Center (he survived). I went to the corner of Vesey Street and West Side Highway. People were running in panic away from the burning towers. Others stood in shock, hands over open mouths, heads craning upwards. A security man pushed me back. Someone screamed, "Oh my God, people are jumping!" More bodies were falling onto Vesey Street and onto the plaza between the towers.
Some fell with arms extended, as if for a crucifixion, taking what seemed like ten seconds to reach the ground. I thought I had better get back to my office. Frankly I was scared that the towers would collapse on top of me or that I would be hit by falling debris.
Also, police officers were closing off the streets and evacuating apartment buildings. I was worried that I would not be allowed back to my office and I felt responsible for Aoife, who, on her own, was witnessing scenes of unimaginable horror on her first morning in New York. I made it back minutes before police ordered all residents of the building to leave.
I only found out later that the building manager, Rosie Rosenstein, a friend with whom I would occasionally sit on a bench outside and marvel at our good fortune to live in such a wonderful neighbourhood, decided not to mention my presence to the police, because he knew how important it was for me to continue reporting.
Back at my vantage point I noticed a helicopter buzzing low over the north tower. I thought: why doesn't it take people off the roof, or lower a rope to the windows? I couldn't know that the doors to the roof were locked and the pilots could not approach because of the heat.

Mental Case
memory aid combines flash cards, repetitive learning
Mental Case is many things - a drop box for your thoughts; RSS for your head; an index of your knowledge - but ultimately, it's just a fun way to remember stuff. And 'stuff' can be anything, from your new mobile phone number to the Presidents of the United States - Mental Case can even help you remember to stick to a diet.
All you do is gather tidbits of information in 'mental notes'. Enter some text, drop in an image, take a screen shot, or even snap a picture with your iSight. Mental Case schedules the note to reappear at future dates. When you have a few minutes to spare, you watch the scheduled notes in a slide show. Mental Case makes learning a pleasure.

This app just keeps getting better and better. The 1.5 update was huge. It was like Christmas, with all the enhancements that it got. I have not found Mental Case's equal anywhere in the Mac software universe. Highly recommended. For students (broadly defined), it's worth every penny, several times over.
Looks like you can also get a $5 discount at MacUpdate: http://www.mupromo.com/deal/273/mental-case
After my early experience I retried this today and must admit that Mental Case is awesome. Such a great piece of software.
"You can buy Mental Case for a limited time at the early-adopter rate of $19 (full-price $29). "
Check the ReadMe - it's a Beta at this stage. You should direct suggestions, etc. to the contact info listed in the PDF.
Looks like a cool app though, wonder what teh final $ will be.
This seems cool but the window when not maximized extends behind the dock and can only be resized horizontally. Pretty cool otherwise though.

Superb display of intellectual music writing and brilliance from a band that deserves so much more recognition. Genius - "we love you Charlie" was screamed from a young girl in the crowd. I couldn't agree more but for maybe different reasons, perhaps. Thank you for an excellent night. Shaun from Waterlooville

Waiting in the lobby for the house to open Sunday night at the Denver Center's Ellie Caulkins Opera House, the people-watching was an excellent pre-show diversion. Was this a Green Day show we were queuing up for, or the theater?
In the case of "The Book of Mormon," the Broadway smash now on tour from South Park duo Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the answer is a little bit of both. That kid in the T-shirt and skate shoes standing near the elegant woman in a close-fitting dress may not be together, but they were there at the Ellie for the official opening of "The Book of Mormon" because they shared one critical thing the show was sure to deliver: laughter. And what the creators of the show have done is make something that appeals to a wide audience - and god knows the theater could use some youthful mojo to break up the older crowds that comprise most audiences nowadays.
With a sold-out house (and many more to come through its closing in Denver Sept. 2), "The Book of Mormon" goes from 0-60 in the opening seconds and never, ever lets up. While many musicals have a handful of big, catchy numbers to hang the rest of the show on, "Mormon" seems to have been created to be a greatest hits of itself. The cast had the audience in the palm of its hand from the get-go - from the excitement promoted by the cellphones-off announcement to the curtain call, where Parker and Stone themselves came out for a bow. Perhaps it was the years of anticipation after it was announced Denver would be the first city to host the touring production; maybe it's the expectation "South Park" fans have that everything Parker and Stone touch is crude, comic gold - but mostly it boiled down to the simple observation that this is one hell of a show that just seems to do it all well.
With "Avenue Q" creator Robert Lopez joining Parker and Stone to create the book and music, "The Book of Mormon" sets out on a relatively simple mission: to be an old-school, big production musical - but with a decidedly modern and, yes, filthy take. It's impossible to talk about this show without noting the 15 seasons of "South Park" that influence its content. Religion has always held a strong fascination for Parker and Stone, and when it comes to picking a religion to have a little fun with, no offense Mitt Romeny, but it's tough to beat Mormonism. But while "South Park" is entirely minimalistic, here the writers got a chance not only to deploy the full Broadway musical treatment but also cast off the shackles of TV censors and MPAA ratings. It's "South Park," completely uncut and, yes, the musical.
Within 15 minutes of the start of the show, we know the story: Two young Mormons - Kevin and Arnold, aka Elder Price and Elder Cunningham - are off to Uganda, there to spread the word of their faith and encourage the embracing of this most amazing book - The Book of Mormon. Price (a fabulous Gavin Creel) is the Mormon wunderkind - the sort of youthful missionary bound to make his mark, and although his first choice was to go to Orlando, he swallows his disappointment and ships off to Africa with Cunningham (an equally remarkable Jared Gertner). Alas, Elder Cunningham is more like the Mormon school dropout who's just doing what his parents command. Overweight, insecure and largely ignorant of what The Book of Mormon actually contains, Arnold is simply hoping to be sidekick to Kevin.
But even dutiful Elder Price can't reconcile the awful reality of the Ugandan village where they end up. Their first image is of a dead donkey being drug across the stage, and within seconds their relieved of their luggage by local thugs. By the time they join up with the other members of the mission, they've had a quick, bombastic immersion in local issues ranging from AIDS, rape, female genital mutilation - and the maggots that dwell in one villager's nether regions.
So much for Kevin's sunny disposition and big dreams of quickly getting the locals baptized. We soon learn the beautiful Nabulungi (Samantha Marie Ware) and her father Mafala Hatimbi (Kevin Mambo), live in mortal fear of the local "general," whose evil is deep and whose very name cannot be printed in a family newspaper. Can Mormonism save them? It may sound ridiculous, but as the young Elders know, you've just gotta believe.
The action is punctuated by a number of masterfully done historic scenes from The Book of Mormon. Here's Joseph Smith digging up the magical golden plates in Upstate New York that contain the words to the sacred book. Jesus appears, his robe a glow and his hair a-flowing, as do Mormon himself and Brigham Young. There may be plenty of perceived flings at Mormonism, but the biggest laughs come from simply taking what's really in there and presenting it for consideration. Every Mormon gets his own planet in the afterlife? Great! Joseph Smith never showed anyone the golden plates and simply transcribed the whole thing onto regular paper? OK.
"The Book of Mormon" isn't perfect - some of the pop culture references are overdone; do we really need another Yoda joke? - but it's pretty darn close. If you're willing to set aside any inner Church Lady who might be lurking within, it's simply not to be missed. And if you can't get tickets this time around, be patient: The tour loops back through Denver in October, 2013.

Double blow for two biotechs
06.06.2012 - A Belgian-Swedish partnership between BioInvent International AB and ThromboGenics NV has suffered two setbacks.
Heverlee/Lund/Basel – Both partners announced that Roche had returned the rights to TB403 in certain cancer and non-cancer indications, including ophthalmology. Clinical studies with TB-403 to-date have shown that it is safe and well tolerated. Roche's decision was due to the prioritisation of resources in the pharma's portfolio.
TB-403 is a monoclonal antibody against placental growth factor (PlGF). PIGF is a naturally occurring protein that belongs to the family of vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF) that promote the formation of blood vessels.
Furthermore, the two biotechs decided to halt further development of TB-402, a long acting coagulant following disappointing head-to-head results with Bayer's Xarelto in venous thromboembolism (VTE). "This is probably the end of the collaboration. We will invite BioInvent to co-invest in TB-403 in ophtalmology but given their cash position we think it is unlikely that they will carry on", said Chris Buyse, CEO of Thrombogenics, to Scrip.
Thrombogenics shareprice dropped more than 20%, Bioinvent's stock was send down almost 60%. Both companies announced a partnership in 2004. As part of the original deal, Bioinvent contributed its antibody library while Thrombogenics brought research and clinical expertise.http://www.european-biotechnology-news.com/news/news/2012-02/double-blow-for-two-biotechs.html


text: To call German black metal band Desaster "veteran" is to not be nearly descriptive enough. Desaster, and by extension their iconically idiomatic misspelling, are veterans in the sense that Ray Bourque was a veteran when he finally won the Stanley Cup with Colorado. Desaster has toiled in obscurity, experienced the highs and lows of success and marginalization, the tumult of frequent and varied roster changes, the dedication of valued fans and the prosecution by those who fail to understand, and, in short, has been around the block.

'Da Vinci Code' Author Dan Brown Reveals 'Inferno,' Crashes Site
Dan Brown, the bestselling author behind such books as "The Da Vinci Code" and "The Lost Symbol," revealed the title of his new novel "Inferno." The title of the book was revealed following an online event that encouraged readers to participate via Twitter and Facebook. The new novel features longtime Brown protagonist Robert Langdon, a Harvard symbologist and will be released by publisher Doubleday on May 14.
According to the publisher, here's the plot: "Set in the heart of Europe, Langdon is drawn into a harrowing world centered on one of history's most enduring and mysterious literary masterpieces."
On the "Today" show, Brown said in a statement that the new book was inspired by Dante, author of "The Divine Comedy," an epic poem written in the 14th century that follows the author's allegorical journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. The poem is broken up into three parts: Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso.
"Although I studied Dante's Inferno in high school, it wasn't until recently, while researching in Florence, that I came to appreciate the enduring influence of Dante's work on the modern world" Brown said in the statement. "With this new novel, I am excited to take readers deep into this mysterious realm…a landscape of codes, symbols, and more than a few secret passageways."
Early on at least, there were some problems with the contest to reveal the title. Users who came to the Today show web page that was participating in the event, were meant to see a mosaic fill up revealing the title of the book as fans tweeted the hashtag #DanBrownTODAY or clicked the "Add me" Facebook button. Instead of an image, however, there were merely the words "Backend server error. Application server misconfigured."
The Today show page later posted this Editor's note: "Overwhelming interest in the Dan Brown book title mystery temporarily crashed the servers of HyperActivate, the company managing the social media mosaic. Please check back later to find your tweet within the mosaic."
A spokesperson for HyperActivate said "After a brief glitch caused by one of the biggest and fastest spikes in traffic from a social media campaign, the mosaic filled in live on national television with Facebook and twitter posts from Dan Brown enthusiasts."
Where is Robert Langdon when you need him?

Frost Moon is Book One of the Skindancer fantasy series by debut author Anthony Francis. Filled with unforgettable characters, spine-tingling action, kinky rebellion and edgy love, Frost Moon is classic storytelling at its best, and Dakota Frost is an irresistible new star of fantasy fiction.
Anthony Francis is a computer scientist who works at the "Search Engine That Starts With A G". By day he studies human and other minds to design intelligent machines and emotional robots; by night he writes fiction and draws comic books. He received his Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence from Georgia Tech. He lives in San Jose with his wife and cats but his heart will always belong in Atlanta.

I am a voracious reader (average about 4-5 Audible books a week, in addition to those I "eyeball".) I have been hooked on recorded books since the time of cassettes/CDs and was thrilled when I became an Audible member in 2007. I find reader reviews good guides to spending my credits, so have finally decided to write a few (although, I would rather be reading!)
"Good entry for new paranormal series"
Loved the premise -- skin dancer (her tattoos aren't just for looks, they help her kick butt) and tattoo artist fights evil in an Atlanta riddled with vampires, were kin and wizards. I anticipated shades of Marjorie Liu's Maxine Kiss (who has tattoos who are demons) and the Atlanta of Ilona Andrews's Kate Daniels series.
However, Dakota Frost wasn't the strong protagonist that I anticipated. Sure, she has a mohawk, cool magical tattoos and is wonderfully snarky. She continually reminds us how buxom and awesome she is. But some of her reactions seemed a bit too "girly girl" for a mohawked bisexual heroine.
Still, good world building, a decent plot and an unique spin. Worth the credit.
Traci Odom delivers. She gives the characters distinct voices without getting campy.
I had read great reviews and knew I'd like this book. Yup, sure enough did and want more. Cool world, similar to many we've encountered in other books with minor deviations. The authors influences are pretty obvious, (MTG) and easy to track, sometimes to the point that I wish he'd leave some of his personality and beliefs ( largly christian I'd guess, or maybe that's just coincidence, but everything seemed to come back around to a bible verse or belief) out and let the characters have free reign. The political voting talk, the amount of Prius talk, gas talk, moped talk... Ok ok... I drive a car that was chosen for gas mileage alone and still find it annoying! Anyways, that aside, because truly it was really minor, the story was great. The characters were fun, their powers sometimes predictable but also cool, the skin dancing was really awesome. I cant wait for another book.
"Give it a pass"
When the lead character comes straight from a male author's wet dream, is superficial and incredibly stupidly behaving (hello? you don't have them dress and act kick ass then immediately become compliant and stupid) and the supporting characters are more of the same.....
Traci Odom does a fantastic job with the narration. The characters have clear and easily distinguishable voices. Too bad this was not worth reading.
In summary - if you want marginal urban fantasy featuring a lot of primarily female BDSM/bisexual play as conceived by a guy this might be the book for you. If you want sex that is linked to the plot - go read Hamilton. If you want excellent urban fantasy relating to magic and tatoos - go listen to Angel's Ink.
I have been happily married for 17 years, I have 3 children (12, 14, & 16), and 2 dogs. I am currently working on a 2nd degree. Life is chaotic and stressful, but I wouldn't change it. I am blessed and enjoying my life.
"Looking forward to listening to the entire series!"
Great book! I loved the setting (probably because I live in at Atlanta lol) the book kept my interest. I thought it was interesting that the heroine was not the all powerful kick butt character that most books have. This character's flaws help you to identify with her. I look forward to the fact that she plans on developing her "ninja" skills :) All in all, this book is worth your credit or your money. I am looking forward to listening to the next one.
I also want to mention the narrator, because they often make or break a book. Traci Odom was good! The voices were distinctive and natural. Anthony Francis, I often avoid reading books written by men, or at least the ones that I read for my on enjoyment. Thanks for surprising me.
"Fascinating read!"
This was an interesting start to a series. I can't say I was on the edge of my seat but once I got a couple of chapters in I didn't want to stop! I'm eagerly waiting for the next in the series. I was very surprised at how much I ended up liking this book.
To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.
"Can't Wait for Next Book!!"
This is a great start to a new series. Interesting world building, characters that you can relate with, solid development of the plot. I was hooked from the beginning. I have been to Atlanta and have visited the Undergound. The city abounds with history, love how some of that was interwoven into the story. Gave the story a realistic appeal.
Traci Odom did a fantastic job reading, especially with all the distinct voices. It was a pleasure listening to her. She really bought the story alive.
Normally I shy away from men writers of the paranormal/fantasy....except for Jim Butcher, but Mr. Francis did a wonderful job. Thank you!
And yes I am eagerly awaiting the next book in this series.
"Please make it stop!"
The premise was intriguing and novel - magical tattoos. I was looking forward to seeing how the author developed this concept, and he did a great job with it in those sections where the protagonist was discussing or practicing her art/trade. The supporting characters were well done by the author and the reader, but the main character not so much. In fact she spent alot of time whining and wringing her hands over her stupid choices. That didn't really match up with the picture of a woman who is 6'2" sporting a colorfully dyed mohawk. By the middle of the book I was saying to myself "Pleeease make it stop. When will this book ever end?" Both the author's writing and Tracy Odom's portrayal of Dakota Frost were like nails on a chalkboard for me. I was really disappointed by the treatment of such a great idea.
So no, I would not recommend this book.
PS - As a small woman who rides a 400cc Suzuki scooter at 70 mph in rush hour freeway traffic in Phoenix, I'm incredulous/disgusted the author put a 6'+ woman who lives in a lg metropolitan area on an itty bitty scooter. Really?
"Good First Book in a Series!"
This author was new to me and I loved the characters. They were sympathetic and I wanted to be invested in them. That always makes for a good story for me. Can't wait to read the next in the series.
"So Bad I returned it!"
A different book.
The main character was unlikeable.
Could'nt get past the plot.
Total boredom
Don't waste a credit.
"I love SyFi books, and this is one of the best."
Definatly, and have already. Several friends whom I share the love of SyFi Books.
The Dresden series, because of the variety of charactors, and the hero (heron) always getting into trouble.
No, but she did a great job!!!
No, however I was on the edge of my seat waiting for the next part to happen. Right now I am again on the edge of my seat waiting for the next book.
Traci did a wonderful job with the voices and timming. When I close my eyes I can see the story as if it was a movie.
Anthony definatly knows Atlanta, and different procedures of the police and of the tattooing world. He does a great job of keeping you on the edge of your seat awaiting for the next scene!! Hurry with the new book!!!!!
"Interesting start to a series"
Enjoyable 1st book based around Dakota Frost, (cool name) who is a magical tattoo artist. It is set in alternative world Atlanta and a decent job has been done at world building.Well paced and good narration

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam -- One recent morning in a French-style cafe, former San Jose resident Thien Do worked his mobile phone and iPad as he prepared for another day of casting actors for a dark comedy he's directing.
Not far away, Dustin Nguyen, the co-star of the late 1980s TV crime drama "21 Jump Street," was getting ready to roll the cameras for his next film, "Once Upon a Time in Vietnam." And actor-writer-director Johnny Tri Nguyen from Orange County was in preproduction for his action film.
Nearly four decades after they fled the Communist takeover of South Vietnam, a small army of Californians -- armed with cameras and scripts -- have invaded the nation. Vietnamese-American filmmakers and actors, hoping to tap into a young population eager to be entertained by the big screen, have become a surprising artistic force in Vietnam's emerging film industry.
"Every time I go to one of these industry gatherings, I see new faces," Do said of the swarms of Viet Kieu, or "overseas Vietnamese," filmmakers scouting locations and writing screenplays here.
Viet Kieu are now involved with at least half of the commercial films made in Vietnam -- a stunning development considering that not long ago those who returned faced deep suspicion from the Communist government as well as opposition from staunch anti-Communists in San Jose and Orange County.
"If someone told me five years ago, 'You will move to Vietnam,' I would have said, 'No way,' " said actor Kathy Uyen, a former San Jose resident who is working on a romantic comedy based on a story she wrote with filmmaker Timothy Linh Bui, a former Sunnyvale resident who directed "Green Dragon," starring the late Patrick Swayze, Forest Whitaker and the late Duong Don. "I'm not the only one who said, 'I could come up with a story and develop it and produce it here.' Other Vietnamese-Americans are thinking the same thing."
This year about 16 local films -- from romantic comedies to action thrillers -- hit the movie theaters. The average cost to make a movie here is $400,000 to $500,000.
"It's a great place to make movies," said Johnny Tri Nguyen, who co-starred with Dustin Nguyen in "The Rebel," the 2007 epic martial arts picture set in 1920s French-occupied Vietnam directed by Johnny Tri Nguyen's brother Charlie Nguyen. "It's cheap. And the rich landscape is cinematically beautiful."
The success of "The Rebel" sparked interest from across the Pacific by dispelling fears the Vietnam government would greatly interfere in any film project involving overseas filmmakers, said Johnny Tri Nguyen, who returned in 2005. In the past two years, the number of returnees has dramatically picked up, said Nguyen, now one of Vietnam's biggest stars.
He and others from California bring filmmaking knowledge to the country, while Vietnam provides them with opportunities they can't find in Hollywood, said Lan Duong, an expert on Vietnamese-American cinema at UC Riverside.
"Hollywood is tough when you are a minority filmmaker making films about minority subjects," she said. The arrival of Viet Kieu filmmakers en masse here underscores how the decades-long bitterness from the war is receding on both sides of the Pacific, she said.
"It used to be people who had any relationship with Vietnam were branded a traitor" by some Vietnamese-Americans, Duong said. "That label doesn't stick anymore."
The Vietnamese government, meanwhile, has embraced economic and cultural reforms. In 2002, it opened up to privately owned film production companies and about two years later, officials let foreign films be shown.
Government officials "are sophisticated," said Brian Hall, CEO of MegaStar Cinemas, the country's largest theater chain. "They know you can't spoon-feed the population with propaganda films. (Vietnamese) want Western films and other Asian films. They also want a portion of their entertainment to be local films they identify with, that are culturally their own stories."
Vietnamese-American filmmakers, though, still must navigate government monitors. All filmmakers must get their movies approved by government censors, who keep an eye out for politically unacceptable subjects to the one-party system or unwanted social commentary. Government officials also object to what they view see as excessive violence and sex.
"It comes with the territory," said writer and director Do, who has been splitting his time between Vietnam and California for 10 years after initially coming here to produce TV commercials. "If you want to work here, you have to play by the rules. But things have opened up quite a bit."
As an overseas Vietnamese, Dustin Nguyen said he has been watched more closely than local filmmakers. "There is always going to be more scrutiny of Viet Kieus," he said. But he added he has found the censors accommodating to his artistic vision. For example, they were initially opposed to a scene in the 2010 movie he produced and starred in, "Fool for Love," in which two men kiss. He convinced them otherwise. "It was at first a flat no. But I explained why it needed to be there. For Vietnam, it was a big step."
A challenge for Vietnamese-American actors is not the government but mastering the local dialect after living abroad. But the growing opportunities in Vietnam's film industry make the challenges worthwhile. Box office revenues nationwide are doubling every year and should hit $50 million in 2012, Hall said.
Filmmaker Minh Nguyen-Vo said returning to Vietnam brought him full circle in his life. As a boy living in the coastal city of Vung Tau, the cinema was an escape as war raged around him.
"I was about 8 years old," he recalled. "My parents used to run a small movie theater during the war. I was really scared. So I usually ran into the theater and sometimes stayed there until late at night. It became an escape window to the outside world."
His first film, "Buffalo Boy," or "Mua Len Trau," was the official entry from Vietnam for Best Foreign Language Film category at the 2005 Academy Awards. He is in preproduction on his third movie in Vietnam.
Working as a filmmaker here "was the last thing I would have imagined," said Nguyen-Vo, who left Vietnam at age 18 in 1974. "This is an emotional journey."

Create this easy Pablo costume with a pair of one-piece pajamas and a baseball cap. Clever use of simple sewing accessories and glue do the rest.
Catch the Backyardigans on Nick Jr.
For the tummy, cut a very large oval out of yellow fleece. Glue it right over the zipper onto the pajamas. Let dry. Once it is dry, use your scissors to cut down along the zipper, then glue the yellow fleece along the edges of the slipper.
Cut the blue t-shirt vertically, up its center. Then cut the open "flaps" into a curved vest shape. Turn over the t-shirt and cut an inverted V-shape at the center back to create "tails." Hang the pajamas on a hanger, slip the vest over the top, and then use your scissors to trim the vest until it's the shape you like. Once you are satisfied with the vest shape, you can press it with spray starch to make it stiffer. This step is optional.
Cut a large bow tie shape from the card stock. Snip two small holes in the center of the card stock bow tie and slip a length (about 8 inches) of sewing elastic through to create a stretchy tie. Then use the card stock bow tie shape as a template to cut the same shape from the blue felt. Glue the blue felt to the card stock (the side that does NOT have the elastic ends coming out) and let dry. Set aside.
Cut the visor off a baseball cap. Continue to trim the base of the hat until it's a suitable size for a beanie. From the airplane kit, remove the propeller. Use the ends of the scissors to poke a small hole in the top of the beanie. Slip the propeller through. To keep it elevated and secure, wrap its base with floral wire until it stands up on its own. From the felt, cut triangles in red, blue, and yellow and glue them at intervals to the beanie. Let dry.
Cut a large diamond shape from the yellow card stock. Fold it crosswise in half, then crease it again just below that fold. Glue it to the center of the plate. 9. On white paper, draw two large eyes with the black marker. Cut them out and glue them to the plate.

 10. With a craft knife, cut holes in the eyes and a small breathing hole in the nose area.

 11. Before punching holes in the plate to create the mask, hold it up to your child's face. The holes for the elastic need to go barely above your child's ear level. Mark this, then punch a hole on each side of the mask. Slip a piece of stretchy elastic at both sides and tie at the back of the child's head.
Dress your child in the pajamas, stuffing the belly and rear as much as possible before adding the vest, beanie, and mask. Slip the mittens over the hands.

A jellyfish engineered from a seer polymer film and rat heart cells in the controlled confines of a laboratory may inspire the diseased heart to recover.
The aquatic creature was bio-engineered in the labs with the collective efforts of researchers from Harvard University and California Institute of Technology.
The scientists used cells taken from the hearts of rats and a thin covering of silicone to make the synthetic creature that knows how to swim.
The artificially created jellyfish from seer polymer film and heart cells from the rats popped up and swam vigorously in the water after it came "alive" with an electric zap.
This process was termed as a leap in the field of "bio mimicry". Biomimicry is copying of a natural process by a laboratory creation.
The choice of the creator
The scientists chose a jellyfish due to its extraordinary swimming skills. It follows suction like open and close movement to propel itself forward with the force of the water.
The water flows in when the jellyfish cups up the bell shape of its body and throws the water out with force, when it contracts the body.
The force of the water driven out with pressure throws the jellyfish forward. The scientists view this contraction and expulsion of water with the pumping of the human heart.
Kit Parker, a biophysicist at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, who led the work stated, "It occurred to me in 2007 that we might have failed to understand the fundamental laws of muscular pumps."
He added, "I started looking at marine organisms that pump to survive. Then I saw a jellyfish at the New England Aquarium, and I immediately noted both similarities and differences between how the jellyfish and the human heart pump."
The bio engineered jellyfish
The artificially created creature was formed in a container swashed with electrically conductive fluid of approximately 1-5 volts to aid the jellyfish muscles contract and relax alternatively. Dubbed as "Medusoid" it has eight limbs or appendages resembling a flower with eight petals.
The appendages are protein coated akin to the muscle structures of a "living' jellyfish. The protein in the limbs provides the nutrition necessary for directing the growth of the cells that have been retrieved from the rat heart muscles.
An excited John Dabiri, a bioengineer who studies biological propulsion at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena said, "I was surprised that with relatively few components -- a silicone base and cells that we arranged -- we were able to reproduce some pretty complex swimming and feeding behaviors that you see in biological jellyfish.
"I'm pleasantly surprised at how close we are getting to matching the natural biological performance, but also that we're seeing ways in which we can probably improve on that natural performance. The process of evolution missed a lot of good solutions."
Details of the experiment were published Sunday in the journal Nature Biotechnology.

Minor A Little League Rules...During Batter4 at bat, a wild pitch allows runner to score from third base. Batter4 draws a walk and is only runner on the bases. Batter5 is hit by second pitch and is now on first, Batter4 is on second. Batter6 takes one pitch his team Manager,(they were Visitors) asks for Timeout. He brings to my attention(I am Plate Umpire) that the last run scoring on the wild pitch was the 5th run and the inning should have ended. The opposing team(Home) concurs and the teams switch sides.
What I Did: Informed the visiting team that when they batted in the next inning Batter6 would be the first batter with a new count(0-0). The Home Team Manager was informed that all pitches would stay on record for the pitch count as well as the hit by pitch,(it was pitchers 2nd HBP)
The Visiting Team wanted Batter4 to be first to bat when they resumed and wanted an explanation.
My response, " Show me in the rulebook before his team bats again where it states that his way is correct". He was unable to and Batter6 batted first.
Ironically, this same Manager wanted an OUT called on a batter/runner sliding into first base(feet first). I asked him to show me in the Rule Book where it declares an out. The only way an out is called is if the runner slid head first.
Minors A?
What if B5 had grounded into an inning-ending double play? The defense recorded some outs there.
What's the big deal? For that level, I would have had no problem had you called that one either way. The idea of the 5-run rule is to prevent the merry-go-round effect where you only get 1 or 2 innings in. The goal is to get both teams some defensive time to learn the game.
Sounds to me like some of the managers are WAY too serious about the game for Minors A.
Conclusion: Don't sweat the small stuff (at that level in particular).
Suggestion: If you are an umpire, don't EVER say "Show me in the rulebook where......." You are looking for trouble. You are supposed to know all the rules, and you might need to be giving a short rules clinic. But the issue is your cred!
Rather, if a manager wants to protest, HE must cite the rule that has been mis-interpreted. That's when he needs to get into his own rule book. So if the guy yaps that you can't slide into first base, you say simply, "No such rule!" Leave it there.
Somewhere on this board are the Myths of baseball. Read those and the rule that go with them. Then you will be prepared to rule confidently and effectively. Finally, be careful of league "House" rules. Some of them get ridiculous and they actually violate the intent of the basic rules. These create bad habits as the kids and managers move up in the scale of Little League ball. [F'rinstance, does your league say that you can't slide into first base? I sure hope not......]
Good luck!
Mike CVUA
I have read the 40 Myths of Baseball. Excellent reading. Found those years back and I have had them with me at games when I coached. Now I have them on my Smartphone along with videos provided by Little League Int. with a dozen or so rules and explanations.
Thinking back, your are correct, I should not have told him to show me in the rulebook. I know there is "no" rule where an out is called sliding into first. I believe I might have asked that question here over 5 years ago.
I always get great answers from you(Mike CVUA) and Lou.
Question/Situation: During an at bat, the coaches are telling the batter move back towards catcher in the box. Each pitch, they repeat instructions. Prior to a 3-2 pitch, the coaches have directed the player so far back that his foot is completely out of the box.
Would you:
A. Call time and let the coaches know what has occurred, so it would prevent a possible hit for the kid.
B. Let the play continue and call player out if he hits the ball.
I allowed the play to continue, the player hit a hard grounder passed SS and LF to the fence. Immediately after contact, I called Time, but to no avail. The dugout and fans were to involved in the play. Unfortunately, when the runner stepped on homeplate on the apparent Inpark Homer, (I was waving my hands over my head calling for Time through most of the baserunning)
I declared, " Illegally batted ball, batter was out of the box, the batter is out for the 3rd out-end of inning."
I thought I would get a richter scale response of about a 10.
If the batter is clearly out of the batters box BEFORE the pitcher starts the windup, you have erred! You should not let a pitch begin if the batter is not properly set. Call time, and re-set the batter. Note that BOTH feet must be COMPLETELY within the batters box (and the lines count) before you allow the pitch to start.
Now, if the batter were properly set, and then during the pitching motion or offer he steps with one foot 100% OUT of the box ON THE GROUND, you have an IBB, and you call time and award the out.
If a foot is in the air when the ball is hit (bunt situation usually), no violation.
If the foot is on the ground and part of it is on the line, no violation.
Note that as the game goes on, the lines will be obliterated, and you cannot make that call, at least not in the back of the box. And this assumes that your league put down lines in the first place! LOL! You are more likely to have to figure out an IBB or Defensive Interference on the catcher!
Hope that helps.
Mike CVUA
Mike, This helps a lot. Thanks. The coaches kept directing him to move backwards with no regard to his position. Other things were occurring, for example, balls and strikes(I know not arguable) where the batter was too far from plate or too close to towards pitcher or catcher. After game, I explained to both managers that the strike zone is where the ball crosses the plate, not where the batter is standing.
Your first paragraph added to my guilt of taking an in park homer, and I will make sure to this doesn't occur again, on my part that is.

CBS: Overhauling the GOP primary calendar: Will it work?
It feels like just yesterday that long nomination fights seemed cool. Not anymore, apparently. So how come the 2012 primaries didn't propel Mitt Romney to the presidency - and is there anything a national party really can do these days to control the process?

Leukapheresis Procedures to Obtain Plasma and Lymphocytes for Research Studies on Antiretroviral Naïve HIV-Infected Patients
The National Institutes of Health is conducting a research study to evaluate volunteers either at the acute (early signs and symptoms of HIV infection and/or less than four months of known HIV exposure) and chronic stage (greater than six months or determinate positive result) of HIV-infection, who have elected to begin antiretroviral therapy (ART). The ART is to be provided by participant's Primary Care Provider. The study will require that patients consent to leukapheresis once before antiretroviral therapy and several times after suppression of plasma viremia (when the viral load is <50). We hope to further understand the mechanism(s) involved in maintenance of immune function following early intervention with ART.
We will collect white blood cells by a process called leukapheresis, a standard blood collection procedure. Leukapheresis will remove white cells first, and then replace the red cells, through the same needle, or through a needle in your other arm. Volunteers will be compensated.
