World Peace will fly back to Los Angeles on Wednesday for further examination when the Lakers should have a better idea how long the 33-year-old will be out
On Tuesday, World Peace tweeted: "Sorry bout the injury. First ever knee injury. Recovery time hopefully is a week and a half."
World Peace, is averaging 12.8 points and 5.1 rebounds in 70 games this season.
His injury is the latest in a slew of injuries to beset the Lakers this year. He had been the only starter in the opening day lineup not to miss a game.
"He said that the back of his knee was bothering him and I told him, 'Well, if it's bothering you, you just can't go out,'" Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni told ESPN. "He's just really hurting, so that's why we held him (out), but I don't know what that means."
The Lakers are clinging to the eighth and final spot in the Western Conference playoff, one game ahead of the Utah Jazz with 11 games to play.
Earl Clark, who started 33 games while Pau Gasol was out, likely will replace World Peace in the starting lineup.

Jeff Burton Brings Home Top-10 Finish at Talladega Superspeedway
October 8, 2012
Start - 26
Finish - 10
Laps Led - 3
Points - 19
Richard Childress Racing driver Jeff Burton survived a multi-car accident on the final turn of the Good Sam Roadside Assistance 500 and piloted a battered No. 31 DriveCAT.com Chevrolet to a top-10 finish in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event at Talladega Superspeedway. After starting the scheduled 188-lap race in the 26th position, the South Boston, Va., native maintained a top-15 running position until teaming up with RCR teammate Kevin Harvick and maneuvering his way into the lead on lap 51. After taking four fresh Goodyear tires on a lap-61 pit stop under green-flag conditions, crew chief Drew Blickensderfer played pit strategy for the remainder of the 500-mile race by calling for fuel only or two-tire pit stops throughout the final 125 laps. The 45-year-old veteran driver practiced patience over the latter part of the event, leading twice for three laps and running a majority of the race in the top 10 until a late-race caution flag was displayed on lap 184, setting the stage for a green-white-checkered finish. Burton restarted in the 20th position, teamed up with another competitor and drafted his way into the top 10 on the white-flag lap when the No. 31 DriveCAT.com Chevrolet was collected in a 24-car melee on the final turn of the race. With extensive damage to the RCR machine, Burton managed to drive the car across the finish line in the 10th position for his fifth consecutive restrictor-plate top-10 finish. With the strong effort, Burton remains 19th in Sprint Cup Series driver championship point standings.
"That was a crazy finish and I am glad everyone is okay. We had a really good DriveCAT.com Chevrolet today. It was good to run up front and come home with another top-10 finish. This is a good momentum builder for the final stretch of the season."

(this article is under construction)
After the discovery of a number of shipwrecks at the mouth of the Arade River, during dredging operations, in 1970, two diving teams - Centro Português de Actividades Subaquáticas (CPAS) and Federação Portuguesa de Actividades Subaquáticas (FPAS) - visited some of the Arade shipwrecks and produced reports, pictures, and sketches of two of the sites. The report issued by CPAS was signed by José Farrajota, a civil engineer, archaeologist, and sport diver, and contained a detailed description of the shipwreck with two sketches and a scantling list. Jorge Albuquerque, an architect and a pioneer of sport diving in Portugal, was the author of the two sketches in Mr. Farrajota's report. In these sketches the Arade 1 vessel has a full, flush laid hull, with a small keel and a large keelson or mast step. Further documents in CPAS archives contained important data, such as 24 pictures, 18 taken by Rui Pina and 6 by Jorge Albuquerque, and a map with the precise location of the Arade 1 shipwreck from alignments taken on the coast.
The information gathered by the team from FPAS was also very important, although we were never allowed to see the pictures taken by this group at the time. The photographer, Mr. Helder Mendes, is an historian, journalist, and television director who filmed a series of over 50 documentaries about the sea in the 1960s and 1970s - under the titles Segredos do Mar, and A terra, o Mar e a Gente.
The CPAS pictures show a shipwreck built with flush laid planks fastened with treenails to the frames. On top of the upper ceiling strake there is a row of filler pieces in between the frames.
In 2002 CNANS and the Nautical Archaeology Program at Texas A&M University carried out a joint excavation season.1 Following the 2002 field season the ship was disassembled and all its timbers raised and stored at the CNANS laboratory, where they underwent an extensive study.2
The 1970 report described the Arade 1 shipwreck hanging from the upper part of the embankment created by the dredging works, and filled with 1 to 1.5 m of sediment. The frames were 13 x 16 cm in section, the room and space between 16 and 35 cm. The hull planking was 5 cm thick and varied between 25 and 34 cm in width. The ceiling covered both the lower part of the hull, and its sides - the sketch showing no stringers - and was terminated with a series of filler pieces that closed the room between futtocks, as shown in FPAS' pictures.
There was a large keelson - or mast step - preserved at least along 5 m. It was surmounted by a rather small keel in the sketch by Mr. Albuquerque. According to the report a large part of the ship was torn apart by the dredge and laid scattered on the seabed. It is possible that the falling sediment quickly covered this part of the ship during the following weeks, as the embankment, originally cut at a 1/6 inclination, re-arranged itself into a more stable slope.
A wood sample taken by Mr. Helder Mendes was sent to Groningen, in the Netherlands, and was dated by radiocarbon to the 13th century. As this date is not calibrated, and we do not know exactly where the wood sample was taken, it must be taken very carefully. Another sample - probably from the planking - was sent by Mr. Farrajota to Laboratório Nacional de Engenharia Civil, for species identification, and was found to be from a tree of the oak family (Quercus sp.).
The pictures taken by the FPAS team show a very interesting feature. It seems that the upper ceiling strake is a stringer, thicker than the one that lies below it. The pictures taken by the CPAS team were given to us by Mrs. Margarita Farrajota, the director of that diving club in 2002. She kindly let us see her notes and took on the work of assigning captions to each one of the 18 pictures lent to us, based upon her notes and sketches, placing them on the hull remains as they were seen at the time.
In the summer of 2002 the excavation and recording of the Arade 1 shipwreck was entrusted to a team from the Nautical Archaeology Program at Texas A&M university.
The 2002 Field Season
The 2002 field season in Portugal comprised two months of work developed by a joint CNANS / TAMU-INA team, which ran from July the 1st to August the 31st.
A team from Texas A&M ( Filipe Castro, Dante Bartoli, Starr Cox, P. Eric Flynn, Gustavo Garcia, and Michael Jones) worked from early July to mid August on the Arade 1 site, diving twice a day, five days a week. Saturdays were used to fix the equipment and update the reporting. Sundays were taken to rest. After the Texas A&M team left, a team from CNANS closed the site and covered the shipwreck.
During the two months in Portugal, students interested were offered a number of weekend excursions, which included visiting Dr. Shelley Wachsmann's work at the castle of Castro Marin, looking for the 80-gun vessel Océan, lost near Salema beach in 1759, during the French and Indian War, or visiting locals of interest on the southern coast of Portugal, such as Sagres and Boca do Rio.
All lodging costs were assumed by the Portuguese government, through its Centro Nacional de Arqueologia Náutica e Subaquática, and by the municipality of Portimão. The team was lodged at Portimão's commercial harbor, in a camp built with modified shipping containers. The camp was located 200 m from the pier where the boats were docked, with all diving and excavation equipment kept in containers rented for that purpose. Food was delivered to the site daily by a local catering company. General cleaning and maintenance was also provided by the municipality, who contracted a company to carry out the daily cleaning of the camp. The kitchen was maintained by the students.
Underwater works were carried out five days a week. Two dives were performed each day. The INA / Texas A&M University team was given two boats for that purpose. The main objective of this field school was to expose all students to a real life underwater archaeological excavation. Students were expected to try several different excavation and recording techniques. All the students refined their skills in a low visibility environment, with a slight current, and over a real shipwreck site, dealing with fragile and decaying organic materials, and learning how to work in a group, taking a share of the less pleasant part of the work: cleaning tools, filling diving tanks, and carrying the heavy equipment.
The working schedule encompassed the following operations:
- Removal of the sandbags and plastic cover that protected the shipwreck;
- Cleaning, tagging, and positioning of the datum points fixed in the 2001 season;
- Fixing the 10 x 10 m working area marked around the shipwreck in 2001;
- Excavation of the sediment deposited over the shipwreck;
- Cleaning the hull timbers;
- Excavation of four trenches in areas previously chosen around the shipwreck;
- Identification, tagging, and positioning of all concretions and artifacts found in the area;
- Verification of the accuracy and completion of the existing partial drawing of the hull;
- Compilation of a map with the depths of the area;
- Drawing all concretions and loose timbers at a 1/1 scale;
- Raising all artifacts;
- Raising all loose timbers;
- Recording transverse profiles across the hull remains.
As for the recording work in dry environment, the tasks assigned were:
- Analysis of the 2001 site plan, drawn at a 1/10 scale;
- Drawing the 10 x 10 m working area at a 1/10 scale;
- Drawing the hull remains at a 1/5 scale;
- Drawing transverse profiles of the hull remains;
- Drawing ship's timbers at a 1/1 scale;
- Transposing the 1/1 scale drawings to 1/5 and 1/10 scales.
In 2000 and 2001 CNANS and GEO had gathered a collection of rare papers and reports pertaining to the story of the Arade River estuary and the dredging works performed during the 20th century. The consultation of these documents was essential for the understanding of the site geomorphology and history. All doubts and questions were quickly answered by the 2001 team. Particularly useful was the information supplied by the members of the local teams, Alberto Machado from GEO and José Sousa from the IPSIS Project.
The Site
In the summer of 2001 a joint survey carried on by CNANS and the GEO group, with the help of Mr. Helder Mendes, lead to the discovery of several ship remains near the Arade 1 shipwreck area marked on CPAS report of 1970. The areas defined on this survey were designated as A1, B1, B2, and C, and several trenches were opened around them during the 2001 field season. Area A1 yielded the remains of a ship's hull, and its excavation started immediately under the direction of CNANS director, Mr. Francisco Alves, carried out by a joint CNANS / GEO team. On area B2 a frame from a lapstrake hull was found together with some lapstrake planking.
It became clear that A1 vessel was the Arade 1 shipwreck of 1970, but the Arade 6, lapstrake-built, shipwreck, was never relocated.
The account of the captain of the Dutch dredge Mark suggested that in 1970 the Arade 1 vessel was exposed on the embankment created by the dredge and, while projecting beyond the embankment and full of sediment, shattered when touched by the dredge. It may have broke into two parts. The projecting part slid along the embankment and may have been immediately buried by the falling sediment, since it was not observed in 1970.
A reconstruction of the bottom of the river in this area shows a steep embankment with a slope around 1/2 in 1970, after the dredging operations, and a much smoother slope in 1997, when the latest cartography of this area was made. We must keep in mind, however, that the slope created by the dredge during its work was 1/6, much steeper than the 1/2 slope found after the Autumn of 1970, when the cartography was made.
Should the projecting half of the Arade 1 shipwreck be in a somehow cohesive form, it was certainly covered by several meters of sediment in 1970.
As for the upper half of the Arade 1 shipwreck, it was reported covered with a thin layer of sediment - between 50 cm and 1 m - a few weeks after the visit of the CPAS team. One of the two tasks of the Texas A&M University team was to assess whether or not the A1 ship was the Arade 1 of 1970, and if so, how much of it was preserved. The other was to carry out a full recording of its hull.
Excavation and Recording
As mentioned above, in 2001 part of the A1 hull structure was exposed and recorded at a 1/1 scale. Most of the ship's hull was drawn on 1 x 1 m plexiglas slates, in horizontal projection. The drawings obtained were then assembled in larger sheets of transparent plastic and then reduced over a grid into a 1/10 scale drawing. However, to save valuable time, the portion of the hull over the keel axis was recorded directly over a sheet of plastic nailed to the structure.
A series of pictures - excellent, when the general visibility is considered - were taken by Portuguese Navy Capt. Augusto Salgado, who is at the same time a navy officer, a historian, a skilled photographer, and a long time friend and collaborator of CNANS. As it was uncovered during the 2001 field season, the A1 hull remains comprised part of a keel, one post, 18 frames, four ceiling strakes, two hull strakes on port side, and eight on starboard side. The hull was clearly broken around amidships, and only half was preserved.
In order to answer the questions stated above, regarding the possible identification of A1 as the Arade 1 shipwreck of 1970, and the evaluation of the extent of the hull remains preserved, the 2002 field season was developed in three phases:
The first phase consisted of a rather quick cleaning operation, which entailed the removal of the layer of sandbags and plastic cover that protected the hull remains during the winter, and a repair of the 10 x 10 m square that had been positioned around the area in 2001. This square was marked by a series of iron spikes tagged according to its position on the perimeter, and connected by a nylon cable and a red and white tape. As in the previous year, these spikes proved to be very useful, given the low visibility of the site - inside the river mouth - for the orientation of the divers. On the second phase of the work the spikes mentioned above were used as datum points to position the hull and artifacts lying within the 10 x 10 m square where the excavation was carried out.
The second phase consisted of the positioning of all archaeological features inside the 100 m2 area. The mapping was performed at a 1:10 scale with the help of the WEB computer program. The positioning of the hull was not difficult once we established a number of points that could be accurately positioned on the 2001 drawing, and identified in the shipwreck in situ, such as treenails and iron bolt concretions. The extremities of the timbers were damaged during the winter by wood boring worms in spite of all the protection measures taken by CNANS before closing the field season in September 2001. In fact, several octopuses - at least four! - found their way under the plastic cover that protected the shipwreck, and established themselves in the spaces between the sandbags that covered the whole wooden structure. This action favored the penetration of numerous mollusks and worms to the area between the timber upper surfaces and the plastic cover, and promoted a not negligible destruction of the upper surfaces and extremities of the timbers.
The third phase consisted of the verification of all measurements of the existing 1/10 scale hull drawing on an enlarged scale (1/5), the positioning of the hull in relation to the datum points set in the previous year, and the excavation of four trenches around the hull structure.
During the 2002 field season the portion of the hull excavated and partially recorded in 2001 was tentatively identified as the bow of this vessel, because of the gentle curvature of the post, and because no remains of any steering device - rudder, gudgeons or pintles - were found anywhere nearby.
Around July 15, once the first part of this third phase was finished - the verification of scantlings and fastening holes - the TAMU / INA team started the excavation of the four trenches defined within the 100 m2 working area.
Trenches 1, 2 and 4 yielded a small number of artifacts, some rigging elements, a few loose timbers, and unidentified concretions. These have greatly contributed to the understanding of the site, and suggest a late 16th century date for the A1 shipwreck. The most interesting find occurred however on trench 3, where a second portion of this hull, showing a clear fracture area, plunged at a 45º degree slope into the sediments.
The portion of the hull found in trench 3 was recorded in a sketchy way for lack of time, and covered with sediment to be studied as soon as the full recording of the portion of the hull already exposed is completed. However, this discovery contributed decisively to the identification of A1 as the Arade 1 shipwreck, mostly due to the details preserved, such as the filler pieces photographed in 1970.
The stratigraphy found along these four trenches was the same described by the 2001 team while exposing the hull:
Layer 1 - a first layer of fine, dust-like sediment, with a clayish consistency, dark brown color, and littered with seashells and ceramic shards. This was presumably deposited very recently, certainly after the construction of the jetties that have closed the Arade estuary from the sea environment. This layer was 5 to 10 cm thick.
Layer 2 - bellow layer 1 was dark clay, from dark-grey to black, presumably also deposited after the construction of the jetties, when the current speed was drastically reduced in this area. It showed an impressive amount of live worms and mollusks, undoubtedly responsible for the degradation of the hull timbers during the period between the summers of 2001 and 2002. Layer 2 is also littered with ceramic shards of diverse proveniences, as observed throughout the whole estuary area. This layer was between 10 and 30 cm thick.
Layer 3 - under layer 2 was a layer of white sand with little organic material. The thickness of this layer was impossible to determine. Potshards in this layer may be associated with the shipwreck. We have excavated 0.80 to 1.20 m into it.
Layer 4 - this layer was only touched in trench 4 and consists of white limestone round rocks. It is not known if this layer is a geologic stratum, or if it is just a ballast pile. It should be noted that no ballast was found in 2001 over the A1 hull, nor reported in the 1970 survey.
Trench 1 was excavated to a depth of around 50 cm along the southeast side of the iron gun found on the eastern corner of the 10 x 10 m square (Fig.6).
The artifacts found in this trench are described in the Volume 3 of this report. They consisted mainly of potshards of various proveniences, as it is frequent in the Arade estuary, and included a few fragments of a Spanish olive jar.
Trench 2 was dug to northwest of the iron gun and extended to west, in the direction of the presumed bow of the vessel. This trench was extended to the west in order to fully expose a loose ship timber (A1-10) whose tip was found within its primary area. In this trench two large concretions were found, as well as a large number of potshards of different natures, and a complete Spanish olive jar. Shards of at least one other olive jar were found in the area where this trench joined trench 1, under the muzzle of the iron gun, and concreted to the large concretion, which received number A1-12.
Trench 3 was dug across the fracture zone. As mentioned above, the second half of the ship's hull was uncovered, slightly displaced laterally, and heavily inclined along what seems to have been the 1970 embankment.
A few potshards - again of many different types - were found at several levels, between the shattered timbers.
Trench 4 was dug along the west side - port side - of the hull remains. Below layer 2 appeared a number of heavily eroded hull planks, displaced and lacking preserved seams.
Below these planks was found a long timber (A1-36) of roughly square section - possibly of pinewood - that showed no fastening holes. Under this timber there were three deadeyes and remains of rope (Fig. 7).
In the lower strata of layer 3 a few potshards were found, immediately above layer 4. Three heart blocks - in Portuguese sapatas dentadas - were found immediately below timber A1-36, laying over archaeological layer no. 4, together with remains of rope.
The Hull
The upper portion of the hull extended over an area 7 m long and what follows is a short description of each one of the hull elements which is intended, at this phase of the project, more as a structuring approach and an inventory of missing data than as a comprehensive description of the hull parts observed and recorded.
This part of the A1 shipwreck remains was fully recorded in plan, and several transversal sections were taken along the runs of the forward faces of the floor timbers.
The ceiling planking was disassembled, and a second map was made of the upper surface of the framing. Some interesting features were observed, such as the presence of fore-and-aft treenails running through three timbers at several places. However, only a full excavation and disassembling will show eventual patterns that will allow a discussion of the construction sequence and conception methods.
After the last field season the remains of the upper hull consisted of:
Keel - one section, as far as it could be observed @ C10/C11 level. Sided - 15.5 cm (top); 11cm (bottom). Molded - 13.5 cm. Preserved length - 6.05 m. Scarves - Not observed.
Stem post - one section. Sided - 14.5 cm (top); 9.5 cm (bottom). Molded - 13.5 cm. Preserved length - 1.49 m. Scarves - Not observed.
Apron - Not fully measured. Sided - 14.5 cm (top).
Floors - fairly well shaped. Sided - Average 17.6 cm. Molded - 16 to 17 cm.
Futtocks - roughly shaped. First and second futtocks were preserved. Sided - Average 18 cm. Molded - 16 to 17 cm.
Room and space - irregular. Around 42 cm between C1 and C8. Around 29 cm between C9 and C18.

No. 4: "Blue Hawaii" (1961)
Elvis Presley is remembered for dreamy love songs and establishment-rattling rock-and-roll. But he was also a Hollywood beach stud, appearing in the likes of "Girls Girls Girls" (1962), "Paradise Hawaiian Style" (1966) and "Clambake" (1967).
"Blue Hawaii" was the first of his beach-bod-bearing roles and was perhaps the biggest commercial success of his film career. Sure, the story is kind of lame -- Presley's Chad returns from the Army and rebels against his father, refusing to go to work at dad's [eye roll here] ... pineapple business.
But the musical comedy is a time capsule of a simpler era, brilliantly lit by sunny nostalgia, and it amounts to a cheesy but fun bit of film.
It also has some beautiful beach scenery for its time and includes 14 songs that helped make the soundtrack a Billboard chart topper, including "Can't Help Falling In Love." Angela Lansbury co-stars in an over-the-top role as Elvis' mother.

A Connecticut couple stuck on what to name their baby turned to Starbucks customers for help.
Jennifer James, 25, and Mark Dixon, 24, are expecting their baby boy in September, according to the New Haven Register.
They had been struggling between Logan and Jackson as a first name, so they placed signs around the local Starbucks they frequent, asking customers to cast their votes.
The couple received about 1,800 votes, and even several write-ins.
"We've gotten Obama, Jebediah, Lincoln. Someone put (a) write-in, Webster," James told the Register.
Turns out, the name Logan was favored by most customers, although both names won out in the end.
The baby will be named Logan Jackson Dixon when he's born this fall.

A Washington, D.C., man is outraged after being billed for an ambulance that arrived too late to save his father's life.
"I feel angry. Upset," Durand Ford, Jr. told TV station WRC after receiving the $781 bill. "I'm disturbed that we even received this bill."
Ford called 911 in the early hours of New Year's Day because his 71-year-old father was having trouble breathing.
Records show the call was made at 1:25 a.m. A fire truck arrived just nine minutes later, but a D.C.-area ambulance was unavailable, according to Fox News.
A neighboring county wasn't called for assistance until 1:47 a.m., records show.
That ambulance arrived at 1:58 a.m., but by then it was too late. Ford's father, Durand Ford, Sr., had died.
Authorities declined to comment, but D.C. Councilwoman Yvette Alexander told WRC she's working with the family in hopes of getting the bill resolved.

This is the flying camera drone that sends live video to a smartphone from up to one third-mile away. A 5.8 GHz radio remote controls the drone, displaying live video on an iPhone or Android smartphone connected to the remote's dock. Easier to fly than typical RC craft that require constant stick control from the remote for stable flight, its autonomous flight system manages all four of the drone's 9" high-efficiency propellers simultaneously, allowing it to hover in-place or stay on-course while you focus on taking pictures and video. A 3-axis gimbal system stabilizes its built-in 14 mp camera as the drone pitches, yaws, and rolls. With a 110� field of vision and up to 35� of tilt flexibility, the camera snaps pictures at 4384 x 3288 pixel resolution and records 1080p high-definition video, saving both onto an included 4 GB microSD card. Rechargeable battery provides 25-minute flight times from a full charge using the included AC adapter. Built-in firmware prevents the copter from flying into restricted airspace. Only available for delivery in the U.S. and Canada. 12" H x 13 3/4" W x 13 3/4" D. (2 3/4 lbs.)

A drone for Dad
By Turbodriver
from Memphis, Tn.
Best Uses
I have several helicopters, but this is more fun and far more easy to control. Can also be used in some wind where as my helicopters have to sit on the ground. I can take pictures of my kids on our Seadoos, swimming, being towed by our boat, all from above which gives a totally different perspective. I find the controls to be easy to use, it hovers be itself, and maybe most important the GPS brings it home if the connection gets broken or you go to far out.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Has Clear Channel won Christmas music war?
WMYX-FM (99.1) has yet to switch to an all-Christmas music format, despite having done so for many years in competition with WRIT-FM (95.7). The stations took turns being the first to switch to the format, and when the first one did, the second followed immediately.
The Clear Channel station WRIT-FM did so last week. But while WMYX was streaming Christmas music on its website, it was still playing its regular format on the air Monday afternoon. »Read Full Blog Post(23)
Alterra moving into Third Ward Caffe space, planning 'different experience'
Alterra Coffee Roasters will beef up its downtown presence in midsummer when it takes over the space recently vacated by Third Ward Caffe. Because the storefront on E. St. Paul Ave. is smaller than Alterra's typical cafe, the coffee company is looking at atypical options for the space.
Alterra has 11 other cafes around the Milwaukee area, including one less than a half-mile away, across the Milwaukee River from the Third Ward. A twelfth is due to open in March in Madison, Alterra's first cafe outside the metro area; the thirteenth is due in summer also, at N. 68th and W. Wells streets in Wauwatosa. »Read Full Blog Post

"The Future of U.S.-China Relations: Is Conflict Inevitable?"
Journal Article, International Security, volume 30, issue 2, pages 7-45
Fall 2005
Author: Aaron Friedberg
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: International Security; Quarterly Journal: International Security
What is likely to be the future character of the relationship between the United States and the People's Republic of China? Will it be marked by convergence toward deepening cooperation, stability, and peace or by deterioration that leads to increasingly open competition and perhaps even war? The answers to these questions are of enormous importance. They are also, at this point, unknown. Most analysts who write on U.S.-China relations deploy arguments derived from the three main camps in contemporary international relations theorizing: realism, liberalism, and constructivism. Those whose basic analytical premises place them in one of these three schools, however, do not necessarily have similar views regarding the specific question of the future of U.S.-China relations. It is possible to identify realists who believe that the relationship will basically be stable and peaceful, liberals who expect confrontation and conflict, and constructivists who think that things could go either way. The six basic positions in this debate all rest on claims about the importance of particular causal mechanisms or sets of similarly aligned causal forces. In reality, one set of forces may turn out to be so powerful as to overwhelm the rest. But it is also conceivable that the future will be shaped by a confluence of different forces, some mutually reinforcing and others opposed.

"Conclusions and the Way Ahead"
Book Chapter, pages 204-217
January 2011
Author: Calestous Juma, Professor of the Practice of International Development; Director, Science, Technology, and Globalization Project; Principal Investigator, Agricultural Innovation in Africa
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: Agricultural Innovation in Africa; Science, Technology, and Globalization; Science, Technology, and Public Policy
"A new economic vision for Africa's agricultural transformation articulated at the highest level of government through Africa's Regional Economic Communities (RECs)should be guided by new conceptual frameworks that define the continent as a learning society. This shift will entail placing policy emphasis on emerging opportunities such as renewing infrastructure, building human capabilities, stimulating agribusiness development, and increasing participation in the global economy. It also requires an appreciation of emerging challenges such as climate change and how they might influence current and future economic strategies.
Climate Change, Agriculture, and Economy
As Africa prepares to address its agricultural challenges, it is now confronted with new threats arising from climate change. Agricultural innovation will now have to be done in the context of a more uncertain world in which activities such as plant and animal breeding will need to be anticipatory. 1 According to the World Bank, warming "of 2°C could result in a 4 to 5 percent permanent reduction in annual income per capita in Africa and South Asia, as opposed to minimal losses in high-income countries and a global average GDP loss of about 1 percent. These losses would be driven by impacts in agriculture, a sector important to the economies of both Africa and South Asia." 2 Sub-Saharan Africa is dominated by fragile ecosystems. Nearly 75% of its surface area is dry land or desert. This makes the continent highly vulnerable to droughts and floods. Traditional cultures cope with such fragility through migration. But such migration has now become a source of insecurity in parts of Africa. Long-term responses will require changes in agricultural production systems. 3
The continent's economies are also highly dependent on natural resources. Nearly 80% of Africa's energy comes from biomass and over 30% of its GDP comes from rain-fed agriculture, which supports 70% of the population. Stress is already being felt in critical resources such as water supply...."

Q.Smart UF 85 (SL1) thin film solar module
The unframed glass-glass Solibro SL1 module achieves a solar efficiency of up to 12,7 %, making it currently unbeaten by any other thin-film module on the market. Its available in performance categories up to 85Wp positively sorted in +5W steps. This means that the measured output of the 85Wp category is actually between 85Wp and 90Wp.
Modules are permanently protected from the elements by a stable glass-glass composite with proven edge sealing. With a front pane of 4mm tempered safety glass (TSG), the laminate thickness is just 7.4mm. This stable design minimises module breakage rates during transport and installation.
The unframed SL1 modules demonstrate their superiority primarily on roofs with a low incline: their high efficiency enables high overall output since their good performance in low and oblique light and their efficient self-cleaning result in superb yields. The SL1 modules are thus ideally suited for solar installations on flat industry and hall roofs.

Friday Night Wine and Angels: Rain Only Delays the Win
This is a very simple game. You throw the ball. You hit the ball. You catch the ball…except when it's pouring rain and even making the simplest of catches or making contact with the fattest of meatball pitches can become fodder for a Keystone Cops remake. So Friday's 4 – 3 victory against the White Sox was interesting, entertaining, maddening at times, and very, very wet – seriously, my hat is off to all of those tough Chicago fans who stayed for the whole game – but ultimately a win! This breaks the Angels seven game losing streak against the White Sox which makes me very happy indeed.
Jered Weaver did not have one of his better games but a less than great start for Weaver is still a pretty darned good start in the grand scheme of things and, when the Angels give him run support as they did last night, is usually enough to secure a victory. I was a little worried in the third inning, after he gave up a handful of hits and the infield and outfield each blew a play in rain aided, blooper reel worthy fashion. But then he stalked, nay stomped, off the mound with a string of curses at himself that required no lip reading expertise to interpret and I knew we'd be okay. When Weaver gets angry, he usually channels it back into the pitching with wicked effect.
The Angels still need to work on RISP and some guys had quiet bats, but Maicer Izturis was on fire, going 3 for 5 with a two RBI double. Mark Trumbo continues to hit well. Vernon Wells found his bat for the second game in a row and Peter Bourjos continues to show how speed can create a hit where you didn't think one was possible. I got a kick of Mike Scioscia and Mike Butcher basically overriding the umpires' second, hesitant, rain delay call in the bottom of the ninth, sending the Angels back out into the field to warm-up and even tossing Jordan Walden a baseball themselves until the umpires changed their mind and told the grounds crew to stop rolling out the tarp they only just wrestled into position.
So, about the Angels' bullpen? I am sitting here icing my knee after the Saturday edition of my thrice weekly beating as I type this and I. Hate. Ice. Hate it. I do the ten minutes on, ten minutes off thing for an hour several therapist friends recommend because I can see the therapeutic benefits, but it never fails. The burn gets so stabbingly painful that I want to start clawing the furniture and chucking the ice bag across the room at nine minutes on the dot. Every. Single. Time. And, yet, I still think I would rather spend large parts of the 8th inning in a complete ice bath than watch Fernando Rodney play 8th inning set up guy again. I keep hearing how much Rodney has improved since he adjusted his mechanics but I am not seeing it. No, he didn't allow a run, but he walked a guy and allowed a hit and we had to get the last two outs with runners on 2nd and 3rd. But, he got out of the inning and then Jordan Walden went one, two, three. It's a wonderful new feeling to have a closer who closes.
Even with the rain abetted clumsiness and eight inning drama, it was a fun game to watch and this Friday saw the "season premiere" of Seth's and my Friday Night Ritual – a nice dinner, a good bottle of wine and the Angels game, usually on delay so our commutes dont deny us a single pitch. This Fridays spread? Gourmet a'la lazy chefs – crostini with pea mint pesto or mushroom tapenade, prosciutto and apples with Chronic Cellars' excellent red blend Sofa King Bueno chosen because the Chronic guys aren't lying. The wine really is Sofa King Bueno.
And now the ice is finally off my knee – Yay!!! – and I am ready to enjoy watching what the new kid can do on the mound in his second start. Play Ball! …when the rain stops of course.

Your guys did good last night. And mine, not so good. Ergo, the outcome wasn't really a shock. But, I still salute the Halos' performance from last night.
And, hey, if your boys have any closers to spare, I know a team who could use one.
And, today, the drama is beginning before the first pitch is even thrown.🙂 Mother Nature seems to be interferring with our game day. They haven't given up, yet, and we still have another couple of hours (realistically) of waiting before they may officially call it. But, so far, its cold and wet and gross and probably not much fun for anyone.

Where did this Hank Conger kid come from? His home run was hit a MILE but I was even more impressed by his defense. He called a good game, made some nice stops, and looked pretty seasoned behind the plate.

Anders – From about 15 miles west of the Big A, LOL! He came up through our farm system and was the was the 2010 All-Star Futures game MVP. Last season, as a September call-up, he was promising but needed to improved at the plate, on his throw downs to second and holding his glove still behind the plate. This season, he's on a mission and surprising everyone. He was initially kept on the 25-man roster just because of all the Angels on the DL. But at this rate he could become our primary catcher and if he keeps this up, he's sure got my "vote". Thanks for dropping by my blog.
Your Friday night ritual menu sounds delicious! And I know what you mean about having a closer who closes. I feel very lucky to have Mariano Rivera in my Yankee life!
I do not know, I loved playing in the rain as a kid in my baseball uniform. Made the clay into mud, the grass slick and produced some killer grass stains for Mom to find a way to make white again.
But then again we did play with aluminum bats…..lightning beware.
Baseball is a kid's game played by adults, why not still have the same thrill, joy and overall excitement at an advanced age…..Money gets in the way.
Salaries, MLBPA guidelines, seafety precautions that outnumber rules tend to make it into a business not a sport at moments like this.
Maybe sometimes we all need to be 10 again and feel the cool rain on our faces and see that big mud puddle in front of Home Plate…I am stealing Home Coach!

Any time you can beat the ChiSox, it helps the Tigers. Ouch, sorry about your knee. Hope it feels better soon. Again, have fun with Rodney…
Ah, Kristen, your Angels handed my White Sox their first sweep of the season. Sigh. But Walden looks extremely impressive. Jealous that you appear to have found such a steady bullpen presence.
Jane – Thanks! Well, love Walden though I do, he's not Mo…though a couple of years from now, who knows?
Rays Renegade – Playing in the rain can be a lot of fun – though playing softball in California, we usually had good weather for it – but when you can't make any of your pitches or catch or throw accurately, I imagine it's kind of a drag. Regardless, I think you're right, we all need to remember how much fun we had at ten.
Mark – Thanks! Enjoy! It makes Friday seem that much more festive, I think. I've heard there's good wine country in your part of Canada.
Mike – Pleased to be of service. But, don't worry, we're going to try to "help the ChiSox" by beating up on the Tigers in July. It's only fair.😉
Catherine – Thanks for dropping by lady, that was classy. I'm not gonna lie, I'm thrilled with how the series turned out, of course. It's only April though, and your Sox have a lot of good tools that are going to come together as the season moves along. I almost died when Walden loaded the bases for Juan Pierre. That easily could have gone differently.
