Hurricane Karl was the most destructive tropical cyclone on record to strike the Mexican state of Veracruz.[1] The eleventh tropical storm, sixth hurricane, and fifth and final major hurricane of the 2010 Atlantic hurricane season, Karl formed from an area of low pressure which had formed off of the northern coast Venezuela on September 11. It crossed the Caribbean and was upgraded to Tropical Storm Karl on September 14. The cyclone made landfall on the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico as a strong tropical storm, and then rapidly strengthened in the Bay of Campeche before it made landfall near Veracruz, Veracruz, on the central Mexican Gulf coast, as a major hurricane. This marked the first known time that a major hurricane existed in the Bay of Campeche.
As of September 23, 22 people have been confirmed killed, most of which were in the state of Veracruz. Final insured losses from the storm are estimated at $206 million USD as of January 2011.[2]
Meteorological history[edit]
The origins of Hurricane Karl were from the interaction between a surface trough and westward-tracking tropical wave. The trough—an elongated area of low pressure—emerged from an area of disorganized monsoonal convection just north of South America over the Windward Islands in early September.[3][4] A few days later, the wave, which had departed the coast of Africa on September 1, approached the area and merged with the trough by September 8 as it slowed.[5] For several days, the resultant low-pressure system lingered toward the west-northwest over the Caribbean Sea, and provided with a diffluent environment aloft it generated disorganized patches of convection.[6][7] Although the convection remained disassociated from the mean low feature, the overall wind circulation continued to become better defined at the surface. The development trend briefly became disrupted by September 13, however, with the surface low confirmed no longer to exist under the improving convective structure.[5] Conditions remained favorable for reorganization, and a small but consolidated circulation center developed by 2100 UTC September 14.[8] In real time, this marked the formation of Tropical Storm Karl when it was located about 270 mi (435 km) east of Chetumal, Mexico, though post-storm reanalysis revealed a tropical depression had in fact formed six hours earlier.[5][9]
With a predominant ridge anchored to its north along the Gulf of Mexico, Karl continued a generally westward motion for most of its duration. Supported by symmetrical upper-level outflow, the storm strengthened slowly over very high water temperatures in a low-shear environment.[10][11] Karl subsequently made its initial landfall on the southeastern coast of Yucatán as a strong tropical storm early on September 15, with estimated winds of 65 mph (100 km/h). As it moved inland, radar imagery from Belize depicted a developing eye, suggesting the storm might have reached hurricane status at the time.[12] Although the storm slowly weakened as it crossed the Yucatán, its cloud pattern remained well-organized, with a ring of deep convection surrounding an eye-like feature.[13] Around 0400 UTC September 16, the center of Karl emerged into the Bay of Campeche as it slowed slightly. Situated once again over warm waters in a favorable shear environment, Karl steadily intensified and reached hurricane status about 150 mi (240 km) off the coast of Campeche, Mexico, after reconnaissance found a developing eyewall. At the time, Karl co-existed with Hurricanes Igor and Julia, the first such occasion since 1998 with at least three simultaneous hurricanes in the North Atlantic.[14]
The hurricane entered a period of rapid intensification after steadily deepening for several hours; its cloud pattern quickly organized, and with cooling convective cloudtops the warm eye became well-defined.[15] Recurving toward the southwest along the building ridge, Karl became a Category 3 hurricane on September 17; it reached its peak intensity of 125 mph (205 km/h) only four hours prior to landfall.[16] Karl became the strongest hurricane ever observed in the Bay of Campeche upon attaining this intensity, a record previously set by Hurricane Item in 1950.[5] Despite a sudden increase in minimum central pressure, Karl retained its strength and moved ashore near Veracruz, Mexico as a major hurricane at 1645 UTC.[5] Once inland, the small storm rapidly weakened over the high terrain, and by early September 18 no deep convection remained around its increasingly disrupted circulation.[17] Around 0900 UTC, the system was declassified as a tropical cyclone as its low-level circulation dissipated, though patches of remnant thunderstorms continued to produce heavy precipitation over the country.[18]
Western Caribbean[edit]
Upon the formation of a tropical cyclone, the government of Mexico issued a tropical storm warning for the east coast of the Yucatán Peninsula, extending from Chetumal northward to Cabo Catoche. Additionally, a tropical storm watch was in place for the coast of northern Belize, from Belize City to the Belize–Mexico border.[9] At the threat of a storm, authorities in Honduras declared a green alert for the entire country; a yellow alert was to remain in effect for 36 hours in the Bay Islands Department.[19][a] El Cajón, a major hydroelectric power plant located in western Honduras, discharged some of its water reservoir into connecting rivers to prevent flooding of surrounding low-lying areas. Port officials along the coastlines were advised to take necessary precautions due to rough sea conditions.[20] In Belize, seaports secured their supplies and halted operations to ensure the safety of seafaring vessels and marine workers.[21] Schools were closed in the northern districts of Corozal and Orange Walk, as well as in San Pedro Town and Caye Caulker during the storm's passage.[22]
In Quintana Roo, officials opened shelters and ordered the evacuation of low-lying areas along the storm's projected path. Hundreds of people were displaced at Banco Chinchorro, an atoll reef and diving center near Majahual. In Carillo Puerto, located to the south of the archaeological ruins of Tulum, authorities readied concrete residences to provide shelter to some hundred communities of indigenous Mayans.[23] As Karl moved further inland, orange alerts were declared in Campeche for the municipalities of Hopelchén and Calakmul, while the rest of the state remained under yellow alert.[24] Shelters were opened near flood-prone areas in the cities of Campeche, Champotón and the municipality of Calkiní (Isla Arena). Local residents were urged not to take out their trash for three days, as collection services were to be suspended at the threat of torrential rainfall.[25]
The government of the Veracruz issued a red alert as Karl approached the state's coastline; eight municipalities were placed under mandatory coastal evacuation orders. Laguna Verde Nuclear Power Station, located in the Veracruz coastline, stopped its operations as a precaution. Additionally, Pemex evacuated its facilities on the Gulf of Mexico that were located in Karl's path.[26] World oil prices rose rapidly on September 17 as the company stopped production on 14 of its wells. The prices climbed 54 cents to 75.11 dollars a barrel.[27]
Yucatán Peninsula[edit]
As Karl struck the coast of Quintana Roo, heavy precipitation amounting up to 6.2 inches (157 mm) in some areas resulted in scattered flooding.[28] At the height of the storm, a total of 54,265 residents were without power, but most had their electricity restored within a day.[29] Some 600 homes in Chetumal suffered inundations of up to 4.9 ft (1.5 m), forcing hundreds of residents to evacuate.[28][30] High winds reportedly uprooted several trees in Bacalar, a small village near the city.[23] The municipalities of Othon P. Blanco, Carillo Puerto, and José María Morelos reported copious losses in agriculture; an estimated total of 11,650 hectares of crop were affected, with 3,477 hectares of maiz crop destroyed. Approximately 7,800 hectares of sugarcane along the banks of the Hondo River were lost, resulting in economic losses of Mex$76 million (US$6.23 million).[31] In Othon P. Blanco, 477 hectares of jalapeño chili peppers were lost while banana, cassava and citrus plantations in the area sustained significant wind damage.[32] In total, damage to roads, structures and properties in the municipality was estimated at Mex$120 million (US$9.9 million).[33]
Though there were no reports of major damage, strong winds in Belize downed utility poles, grounded water crafts and caused power outages along the Belize–Mexico border.[22] Further inland in Campeche, maximum 24-hour rainfall accumulations totaled no more than 0.95 inches (24 mm), and little damage was reported.[24][34] The storm left no fatalities in its wake in the peninsula, as its landfall occurred in a sparsely populated area.[35]
Gulf coast of Mexico[edit]
Succeeding one of Mexico's wettest seasons on record, torrential rains from Karl brought on historic flooding that lead to great destruction across Veracruz.[36] The heaviest precipitation occurred adjacent to and northward of the storm's track, with localized accumulations of up to 17.83 inches (455 mm) recorded in Misantla. On landfall, major-hurricane-force winds uprooted hundred thousands of trees and caused widespread power outages, leaving up to 280,000 customers in the dark.[37] The disaster affected at least 163 of the state's 212 municipalities, and several days after its passage more than half of the territory remained submerged by the flood waters.[38][36] It caused the largest population displacement in the region's history; about 150,000 residents evacuated to a total of 423 storm shelters statewide.[39] Karl claimed the lives of a confirmed twelve people in the state,[40][41] among which a 40-year-old woman, along with her two- and three-year-old grandchildren in Cotaxtla, and a 54-year-old and a 87-year-old in Felipe Carrillo.[42] Two other fatalities were however mentioned as being possibly attributed to the storm in an official government press release on September 24, 2010.[40]
In addition to the loss of life, structural damage in the state was widespread and particularly severe. In Cotaxtla, damaging muddy waters up to 12 m (39 ft) high left much of the municipality inundated and scores structures encased in mud. In some areas, the flooding was described as being "unprecedented".[43] Carrillo Puerto suffered similar damage; two people were reported missing in the city.[44] The impact on the vegetation was particularly notable in Boca del Río—situated near the mouth of the Jamapa River—where the winds downed well over 400,000 trees;[45] a consequent clogging of the river mouth prompted about 30,000 people to evacuate from adjacent areas.[46] In Puebla, two people were killed after their home was destroyed in a landslide.[47] A third person was killed in Tabasco after she drowned in her flooded home.[48] An estimated 200,000 residences were left without power as a result of Karl.[49]
In total, Karl killed 16 people and left 11 others missing.[44][50][51] An estimated 15.8 million people were affected by the storm throughout Mexico.[52] Preliminary assessments placed the damage from Karl in Veracruz at 70 billion MXN ($5.6 billion USD), although final estimates reduced it to about ($206 million USD).[53][54] In Puebla, losses from the storm reached 200 million MXN ($16 million USD).[55]
Following severe flooding triggered by Karl, roughly 3,500 people sought refuge in shelters set up at schools throughout Veracruz. Between 250,000 and 500,000 people are believed to have been left homeless as 120 municipalities throughout the state experience extensive floods. Emergency officials stated that all warnings would remain in place despite Karl having already passed to keep the public informed of lingering danger.[44] In the weeks following the hurricane, recovery crews cleared roughly 18,000 tonnes of debris throughout the state of Veracruz.[56]

I called Senator Al Franken last night to discuss a matter of crucial national importance: his beloved Minnesota Twins had just defeated the Detroit Tigers in an epic one-game playoff. Senator Franken (D-Minn)'s position was clear, eloquent, and unequivocal: second-baseman Nick Punto's game-saving throw to home plate to nip the go-ahead run in the top of the 12th was, he confided to this correspondent, "fantastic." It was only after he'd boldly gone on the record concerning this vital subject that we got around to discussing his latest piece of legislation. It was something he spoke of with an even more fiery passion than Nick Punto's throw--and, as they say, therein lies a story.
I won't pretend any kind of objectivity here; I've known Al for nearly thirty years. The 1980s: heady days in New York City. Al was in the full bloom of his Saturday Night Live career, and I was a writer in transition from the page to the screen, and we bonded over a love for sports (he's an annoyingly good athlete, and I ripped my knee up when he faked right and went left in a racquetball game) and for the mid-American surrealism of Bob and Ray. What intrigued me right away was the schism between Franken's comic persona on SNL--"the Al Franken decade," etc., which earned shock-laughs by its celebration of the naked ego unleashed--and his thoughtful, sober, and sometimes (to me, a hard-core leftist) his maddeningly sensible political views. When I was sixteen, I became Abbie Hoffman's protege in rebellion, and I still wanted to tear down the temple walls with bare hands; Al, despite being a Grateful Dead fanatic, felt politically closer to Hubert Humphrey, and wanted to refine the architecture.
But even so, and even then, he had a unique ability to translate his beliefs into immediate action: once, when Henry Kissinger personally called the SNL offices to request tickets to the show, Al happened to pick up the phone, and curtly informed the ex-Secretary of State that his request would not be honored. When Kissinger -- indignant at the slight -- asked why he couldn't score the tickets, Al calmly replied: "Because of the bombing of Cambodia."
As with so many Franken anecdotes, it provokes that shock-laugh: but it's also a token of bone-deep commitment, a sense of justice as palpable and strong as a heartbeat.
In the years to come, that fusion of comedy and social conscience would produce best-selling books and lucrative speaking gigs -- a career that would satiate most people, and slow them down. But while he carved out a special niche in American culture -- and bewildered me by becoming friends (or at least friendly) with people like Tom DeLay -- it became clear that he was beginning to dream of becoming a real-life politician.
It seemed utterly insane.
The show-biz types who've made that transition -- take Schwarzenegger or Jesse Ventura, for example -- first created a persona of raw power on the screen or in the wrestling-ring, then rode that synthetic, commanding, larger-than-life persona into a political sphere that worships power as a primal force. Even Reagan gave off -- at least to much of the American electorate--a vibe of hushed, Father-Knows-Best inner strength. But the comedian is, by his very nature, an outsider and a gadfly -- qualities unlikely to inspire that warm, gooey, He-Can-Protect-Me-from-Bad-Things-in-the-Dark confidence that lets us flip our brains to the default positon -- Off, of course -- and pull a lever for them in the voting booth. No; Al would dare to present himself to America not as larger-than-life, but as life-sized--and, incredibly, to win that way.
If it was ridiculous to think he could get nominated to succeed his dear friend Paul Wellstone as Senator, it was pure madness to think he could win in an actual election. But even when the national Republican artillery was rolled out in dazzling battalions in support of incumbent Norm Coleman, he did it.
Which brings us to Franken's new piece of legislation.
Following an initial bill that was inspired in its clarity and simplicity--providing funds to train service-dogs for injured war vets -- Franken took up the cause of Jamie Leigh Jones, a 19-yr-old employee of defense contractor KBR, stationed in Iraq, who was gang raped by her co-workers and imprisoned in a shipping container when she tried to report the crime.
Jones' father and congressman had to fight to get her safely returned to the United States, but once she was home, she learned a fine-print clause in her KBR contract banned her from taking her case to court; instead she would be forced into an "arbitration" process that would be run by ... KBR itself.
This is the kind of case that leaves so many of us with a loser's choice between hatred and despair.
But thanks to the astonishing career-shift that Franken has completed -- and, he insists on pointing out, with the help of his gifted and tireless staff -- he was able yesterday to sit on the Senate floor as that august body passed an an amendment to the Defense Appropriations Bill that will ban the practice of committing employees to arbitration in the case of assault. Jamie Lee Jones herself sat watching, along with Al's wife Franni, as the roll was called. And though, amazingly enough, 38 Republican senators voted against the gang-rape victim and for the multi-billion-dollar contractor (health care parable, anyone?) the amendment passed. Jones wept in the gallery. We can only hope that sometime soon the execs at KBR will weep a little too.
So in one way it's been a tremendous journey from Saturday Night Live to the Senate floor, from dissing Kissinger to defending veterans, from Gilda Radner to Jamie Lee Jones; but in another way it's simply the graceful trajectory of one man's conscience.
"I love this country," Franken says. "But you have to love your country like an adult loves somebody, not like a child loves its Mommy. And right-wing Republicans tend to love America like a child loves its Mommy, where everything Mommy does is okay. But adult love means you're not in denial, and you want the loved one to be the best they can be."
Well said, Senator. And congratulations on the Twins.

The theory of somatotypes was developed by psychologist William Sheldon in the 1940s. The types correlate with the tissue believed to predominate in the development of the individual, nervous, digestive or muscular, and with temperament.
The Basics
Although all bodies are different, each body can be characterized as one of three types: the ectomorph, the endomorph, or the mesomorph.
The Ectomorph
Ectomorphs are thin and lean. It's difficult for them to gain weight, and they usually have a low percentage of body fat.
The Endomorph
Endomorphs have a difficult time maintaining a proper weight because their metabolism is slower. Endomorphs may have low muscle concentration and have abdomenal body fat.
The Mesomorph
While the mesomorph has a pretty high metabolism, he or she can build muscle easily. Mesomorphs are usually athletic.
There is much variation in the way the types are represented in different people. You may have the characteristics of two body types and be, for example, an ecto mesomorph.
What am I?
If you're still unsure which body type you are, take this simple test built by bodybuilding.com: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/becker3.htm.

Joe Somebody SYNOPSIS
When underappreciated video specialist Joe Scheffer is brutally humiliated by the office bully Mark McKinney in front of his daughter, Joe begins a quest for personal redemption. He proceeds by enduring a personal make-over and takes martial arts lessons from a B-action star. As news spreads of his rematch with Mark, Joe suddenly finds himself the center of attention, ascending the corporate ladder and growing in popularity. He's determined to show everyone in his life that he is not a nobody, but a force to be reckoned with.
Joe Somebody (Movie)
This wan romantic comedy stars Tim Allen as a wimpy video communications specialist for a pharmaceutical company and the divorced dad of a 12-year-old daughter. He decides to fight back against a bully who punches him out in the corporate parking lot. Jim Belushi is his martial-arts teacher and Julie Bowen the pretty woman who inspires him. This grown-up version of the 97-pound weakling facing down the bully on the beach has nary a laugh. – Stephen Holden

According to the BA website, between 25th January and 24th March they are laying on three extra flights a week LHR - BOM bringing the total to ten rotations.
I thought that the bilateral which has just be renegotiated meant that BA couldn't add extra flights to BOM despite being desparate to do so. If they have got extra slots why aren't these flights permanent considering they did just bid to go double daily to BOM? Have these slots been leased from AI like the VS flights to DEL?
Anyone know anything about them?

Our solar technology is helping Japan reduce its emissions of carbon dioxide and giving a boost to the Australian car industry at the same time.
Japan is aiming to increase the percentage of its power that is generated from renewable sources. To achieve this, the Japanese Ministry of Environment provided a grant to Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems (MHPS), to "develop and verify technologies for enhancing measures to reduce carbon dioxide emissions."
MHPS is using our solar thermal technology to establish a field of 150 heliostats in Yokohama for running research projects.
Our heliostat field in Newcastle will be replicated on a smaller scale in Japan.
It is the second international deployment of our solar thermal technology, following on from a similar project in Cyprus.
In addition to helping with Japan's renewable energy requirements, the project is also a welcome boost to the car industry, with the our heliostats being constructed by a South Australian manufacturing company actively coping with the downturn in the automotive industry. Heliostat SA was created with the support of four South Australian companies: Precision Components, a company heavily involved in the car industry; The University of South Australia; May Brothers and Enersalt.
Our Energy and Resources Executive Director Dr Alex Wonhas said the two projects were a strong vote of confidence for the science agency's solar capabilities.
"These projects are the fruits of more than a decade of solar thermal research emanating from our energy centre in Newcastle and demonstrate the growing worldwide appetite for concentrated solar power," he said.
"To have CSIRO's heliostats selected by MHPS, a global leader in energy, proves that our technology is up there with the best in the world. Our successful collaboration with Heliostat SA also shows the benefits of science working closely with industry to create value for the Australian economy."
Minister for Industry and Science Ian Macfarlane, Dr Alex Wonhas CSIRO Executive Director Energy and Resources and Darrin Spinks Executive Director HeliostatSA inspect the HeliostatSA plant in Adelaide.

Griffin posts how-to video for iTrip
Griffin Technology has posted a QuickTime video tutorial on how to use the iTrip/iTrip mini with iPod or iPod mini. "The iTrip, while very flexible and powerful, is certainly not as initially easy at other simple toggle switch Transmitters with only four selectable stations. So in an effort to really help our customers get up to speed with the iTrip as fast as possible we filmed this tutorial movie in house. Just like our experiences at the trade shows, once we 'demonstrate' the use of the iTrip and switching stations, customers 'get it' and live happily ever after. And that's good for everybody."

Oscar is a sweet but disastrously overweight ghetto nerd who—from the New Jersey home he shares with his old world mother and rebellious sister—dreams of becoming the Dominican J.R.R. Tolkien and, most of all, finding love. But Oscar may never get what he wants. Blame the fukú—a curse that has haunted Oscar's family for generations, following them on their epic journey from Santo Domingo to the USA. Encapsulating Dominican-American history, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao opens our eyes to an astonishing vision of the contemporary American experience and explores the endless human capacity to persevere—and risk it all—in the name of love.
From the Trade Paperback edition.

Great overall stay. The staff in their Bleu restaurant were attentive, but not super friendly. Food was decent though.

Great locationPosted Oct 25, 2016
Pros: Location. There is nothing more to say! Expedia expect me to say more, so I repeat, Location!
Cons: Their attitude about people that book with a third part booking service.
Location: The location to Beale Street is exceptional. That is where it ends. First of all, folks, Beale Street is literally three blocks. To much hipe.

Nice Hotel steps away from Beale Street.Posted Oct 19, 2016
The staff was friendly and helpful. Excellent location just steps from Beale Street. Beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was clean. Great shower! Be careful of the stocked refrigerator. We moved items to put our own water and small snacks to keep cold. Did not notice the sign on the inside of door advising items moved would be charged! We had $100 on our bill, but the young lady at the desk removed the charges for us. It would be nice if they informed this when you checked in, but even nicer if they stocked less so you had room for your own beverages. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay at this hotel again if we came back to Memphis.

Team notes
AL East
Cal Ripken's days as an everyday player
appear to be over.
Manager Mike Hargrove announced
that in order to give rookies such as Mike Kinkade more playing time,
Ripken would not be in the lineup on a daily basis.
fact that baseball's all-time iron man is 40 and hitting only .176 also were factors.
Hargrove said Ripken could expect to play from two to five games a week.
look forward to getting better, swinging the bat and being deserving to be in
the lineup," responded Ripken, who played in only a week's worth of exhibition
games after an offseason broken rib.
As he often has
done in the past when confronted with a challenge, Ripken responded by homering
in his next two games after the announcement.
After originally
rejecting the team's request to play shortstop during his rehab assignment at
Double-A Trenton, John Valentin decided to give it a try.
asking me to go to shortstop, he (manager Jimy Williams)
is basically asking me to do him and the team a favor," said Valentin, who had
major knee surgery last June 1 and is in the final stages of rehab.
know my future is not at shortstop," said Valentin, who has played short, second
base and third in a Red Sox uniform. "I play third base very well, and I'm very
happy there. It was my decision to try (shortstop in Trenton) and, if I didn't
want to, I'm sure the Red Sox would have honored that."
Red Sox have been pleased with the play of rookie third baseman Shea Hillenbrand,
who hit safely in 22 of his first 24 big-league games. They could use help at
shortstop with All-Star Nomar Garciaparra sidelined by a wrist injury.
Torii Hunter's bloop to right glanced off
the glove of former Gold Glove winner Darren Lewis and was ruled a hit
by official scorer Bob Ellis, a substitute scorer working his first game at Fenway.
was a hit," said Nomo, who departed after the seventh inning.
disagreed. "It's a ball I should catch," Lewis said. "Ninety-nine percent of the
time I make that play. I broke back because I was fooled by the swing."
New York
Orlando Hernandez
began the week concerned whether the discomfort in his right elbow was serious
enough to require surgery. He finished the week back on the mound, pitching against
the A's on April 27 and inspiring hope that he would be all right.
not hurting," Hernandez said. "The (eight) days off did me well."
Yankees also might have found themselves a fifth starter. Rookie left-hander Ted
Lilly, 25, pitched well in his first two outings, allowing five runs and nine
hits over 12 innings, while striking out 16.
"He's got
good stuff; he's for real," manager Joe Torre said.
Christian Parker, who won the job out of spring training, continues to
suffer from right shoulder tendinitis.
Tampa Bay
The shakeup
in Tampa Bay has extended from the field to the dugout to the executive suites.
Managing general partner Vince Naimoli, the man credited with bringing
baseball to Tampa Bay, no longer is in charge.
has resigned as managing general partner and accepted a role as team chairman.
A chief executive officer will be hired to handle day-to-day operations. Tigers
president John McHale Jr. is considered a front-runner for the job.
ownership group's general partners reportedly forced Naimoli out because they
were unhappy with his brusque leadership style. Naimoli, 63, said he decided to
make the move because he was tired of the grind of long workdays and wanted to
enjoy his life a little more. He brushed off talk of a rift in the group.
we had discourse and disagreements in meetings? Absolutely," Naimoli said. "But
at the end of the day, everyone has always saluted the flag."
front office shakeup came a week after manager Larry Rothschild was fired and
replaced by Hal McRae. Also this month, the team waived its starting second
baseman (Bobby Smith), sent its No. 5 starter (Travis Harper) to
the minors and briefly benched third baseman Vinny Castilla.
team is not officially on the market, but the investment banker likely will seek
potential buyers if for no other reason than to determine the franchise's market
"We're not selling the team to move it," Naimoli
Should the team be sold to outside investors,
they would meet with resistance from the city if they tried to move the franchise.
The team has a lease at Tropicana Field for the next 26 years. If they tried to
move, the city almost certainly would sue.
the MVP," McRae said. "He went from the fifth second baseman to utility player
to pinch-hitter to MVP of the ballclub in two weeks. He has some energy, and we
recognized that right away."
Johnson is hitting .323
with three home runs and 11 RBI. He came into the season with a career average
of .261.
Rays are expected to get an infusion of cash from the general partners, and that
might mean signing Lopez to a long-term contract after months of fruitless negotiations.
Jose Cruz
Jr. has been a pleasant surprise for rookie manager Buck Martinez.
center fielder had a career-high 19-game hitting streak end Saturday. During the
streak, Cruz hit .369 (27-for-73), raising his average to .329.
moved the switch- hitter up to the fifth spot in the order, behind Carlos
Delgado, on April 18. On Sunday, Martinez promoted Cruz to the leadoff spot
and dropped Shannon Stewart to the No. 3 spot in the order. Cruz batted
leadoff in 25 games last year, batting .286 with 10 home runs and 19 runs scored.
The DH
is batting .280 through 24 games with just two home runs but has driven in a team-high
23 runs. One of his homers was a grand slam and the other a three-run shot.
veteran right-hander has thrown 18 innings without giving up a run. He's allowed
nine hits and zero walks and has struck out nine.
James Andrews repaired three tears to Sirotka's labrum and shaved down a partially
torn tendon in his rotator cuff.

RFID/Printed Electronics
As part of its #Becausesummer campaign, Malibu Rum will distribute 40,000 bottles featuring smart packaging capabilities to Tesco stores. The NFC packaging allows consumers to interact with the packaging and is the largest implementation of NFC in an alcoholic beverage product.
Technology is a beautiful thing and when used on packaging, it can draw a consumer in, or it can push them away. That's why it's important that package printers and converters know what technology works and when to use it.
Editors from Target Marketing spoke with tech professionals during Philly Tech Week about how the future of tech might affect business.
As appealing as a craft beer delivery service may sound to micro-brew fans, smart labeling is poised to make the experience more interactive. Constantia Flexibles and Thin Film Electronics have announced they will be producing smart labels for Hopsy, a San Francisco-based beer delivery service.
RR Donnelley recently developed smart packaging in partnership with SMARTRAC, a company specializing in RFID technology.
Will there be a time when traditional labels are out and interactive screens are in? Scientists at the University of Sheffield and tech company Novalia have collaborated on technology that could make packaging much more interactive in the near future.
Thinfilm and Constantia Flexibles have partnered to provide pressure-sensitive labels using Thinfilm's NFC OpenSense technology to leading brands within the beverages industries.
GSI Technologies, a printer of pressure-sensitive labels, printed electronics and more, recently celebrated its 30th anniversary.
Companies are adding RFID and NFC tags to packaging to offer an interactive experience and connect with consumers on a deeper level.
Diversion has had a detrimental effect on many businesses across the United States, but has been an industry-wide problem for professional tanning and beauty salons for years. New Sunshine, of Indianapolis, has been fighting product diversion for more than 10 years and has combatted this problem by finding a way to "diversion proof" its premier collection of Designer Skin professional indoor tanning products.
