Singer/songwriter Tift Merritt seemingly appeared out of nowhere in the spring of 2002 with her acclaimed debut album Bramble Rose, but as is often the case, this triple-threat artist -- a gifted singer, superb songwriter, and skillful guitarist -- actually has plenty of experience under her belt. Born in Houston, Texas, in 1975, Merritt's family moved to North Carolina when she was young and she's lived there ever since. Merritt first developed an interest in music when she was a child and learned to sing harmonies with her father, who had dabbled in folk music in his younger days; in her early teens, she picked up a guitar and her dad taught her her first four chords. While Merritt was drawn to the rebellious spirit of punk and indie rock, she felt a greater emotional connection with more acoustic-oriented artists, particularly Joni Mitchell (Merritt once told a reporter, "I went through a Joni Mitchell phase -- and all girls go through a Joni Mitchell phase; if any girl tells you she never did, don't believe her."). Hearing Emmylou Harris' album Quarter Moon in a Ten Cent Town opened Merritt's ears to roots music and she soon began to immerse herself in North Carolina's active alt-country scene. Merritt began appearing on a semi-regular basis with the band the Two Dollar Pistols, singing duets with lead singer John Howie and playing rhythm guitar; she eventually appeared on a seven-song EP of classic country covers the group released in the fall of 1999. Looking for a vehicle for her own songwriting, Merritt had formed a band called the Carbines in 1998 with drummer Zeke Hutchins, guitarist Greg Reading, and bassist Jay Brown; the band soon became a fixture on the North Carolina club scene and they released a well-received 7" single.
Between the Carbines and the Two Dollar Pistols, Merritt was becoming a popular figure in the North Carolina roots music community and in early 2000, Merritt and the Carbines seemed poised to sign a contract with Sugar Hill Records. The deal fell through at the last minute, but when Merritt won the Chris Austin Songwriting Contest at the annual 2000 Merlefest Music Festival, it sparked a new round of interest in her work. Fellow North Carolina native Ryan Adams brought Merritt to the attention of his manager, Frank Callari, and he began shopping a record deal for her; when he was hired as an A&R executive for the Universal-distributed roots music label Lost Highway, Merritt became one of his first signings. (While Merritt was signed as a solo act, she's continued to use the Carbines as her backing band, both for live shows and for the recording of Bramble Rose). Her debut album was released to enthusiastic reviews in June 2002. The George Drakoulias-produced Tambourine appeared two years later, followed by Another Country in 2008, and the live Buckingham Solo in 2009, both on Fantasy Records. Traveling Alone, recorded in Brooklyn and featuring guest spots from Marc Ribot, Andrew Bird, and others, appeared in the fall of 2012. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Place the flour, sugar and 1 tsp salt in a mixing bowl, then rub in the pieces of butter until the mix has the texture of breadcrumbs. Tip in the yeast and eggs. Pour in the milk and mix well until you get a soft dough (you may need to add a little more milk). Knead in a mixer with a dough hook for 7 mins or by hand for about 15 mins until the dough is smooth, soft and springy. Tip into a lightly oiled bowl, cover with oiled cling film or a clean tea towel, then leave to rise in a warm place for about 1 hr or until doubled in size.
Make the filling: place the cinnamon, sugar and pecans in a food processor, then whizz until the nuts are finely ground. Punch down the dough and knead to knock out the air, then split the dough in two. Roll and stretch each piece to form a 25 x 35cm rectangle.
Melt the butter for the topping. Brush half all over each rectangle, then sprinkle half the filling mixture over each. Use a rolling pin to press the filling into the dough. Tightly roll each rectangle up from one of the long ends to get a thick log, then pinch the ends together to seal. Cut each log into 8 pieces. Can be frozen for up to 1 month.
Brush two 20 x 30cm deep baking trays with melted butter. Mix the maple syrup and sugar into the remaining butter, then pour this over the bottom of each baking tray, swirling around so it is coated. Sprinkle with the pecans. Place the rolls on the tray, leaving a gap of at least 2cm around each roll. Cover with lightly oiled cling film, then keep in a warm place for about 30 mins until lightly risen.
Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Remove the cling film from the tray, then bake for 30 mins until the buns are lightly browned and feel firm. Serve warm, sticky-side-up.
Chocolate flavoured coffee
Place 1 heaped tbsp finely chopped dark chocolate in the bottom of each serving cup with 1-2 tsp sugar. Pour over hot espresso, then drizzle with single cream before serving.

Had these this morning for a special, very indulgent breakfast. They were absolutely delicious! The only change I made was I added a pinch of salt in with the dough. I made the recipe up to the point where you arrange the buns on the tray and put in the fridge overnight. Took them out in the morning and allowed around an hour to come to room temperature and rise, and this worked really well.
Very tasty and went down very well with my family. They're not something I would do too regularly as they're very indulgent with all the butter and sugar used. However they are lovely as a treat every now and then. I think maybe next time I will do what katia said and skip the topping part and just glazed with some frosting (icing sugar + water) when they come out of the oven.
Think the milk should be warm to help the yeast to rise, and at that point, I guess you could melt the butter rather than rubbing it in. Didn't put the topping on and they're a bit dry. Hopefully that will be resolved when i ice them with frosting...and if not, will use the topping as suggested on the batch that's in the freezer.
I just made them now, and the pastry was made roughly measured but ti was still delicous!!! I tried it with frosting (icing sugar + water) and some with melted chocolate, and it was delicous still eating them now and going to make more 2morrow and keeping some 4 breakfast, well, if deres any left! Jessicaxx
Unfortunately I went through the long painstaking task of making the dough and then put them in the oven for 25 mins on an oven timer whilst I went out. Came back to hard, dark brown buns :o( Learning point never to leave when baking buns but I am not sure it needs 30mins in the oven to bake them...
yum!! buns came out perfect and delicious!
added 85gr of butter to the filling and mixed all the ingredients together (instead of brushing with the melted butter) and doubled the amount of sugar.
skipped the topping part and just glazed with some frosting (icing sugar + water) when they came out of the oven. worked like a charm!!
The dough was great and I'll be using it again but I wasn't so keen on the filling. Super sweet and super sticky, since we're only a small family half the batch went uneaten as they were just a bit too sweet and they don't seem to reheat too well. Not that they weren't great but be warned it's quite the sugar hit! I also halved the amount of cinnamon as I'm not keen on it and it worked well, just a hint without being overwhelming.
A girl at work made these for my birthday a couple of years ago and about 20 of us asked for the recipe. They're easily the most requested birthday treat at work now, and I've made them more than once. An absolutely beautiful dough with the best filling. Worth every one of those calories (they had better be - you can't stop at one!)
My first time working with yeast and making buns. I make it a few times already last week, my family loves them. The first time, the milk was a little cold and the yeast did not work so well, buns not as risen as expected, but still taste very good. Second time, I proofed the yeast first with a little warm water and sugar and reduce the amount of milk slight in exchange for the warm water used. It came out excellent. Last time i baked it without the topping (make it lighter for breakfast), I reduced the baking time by 5 min it came out perfect!! It has become one of our family favourites now.
I urge anyone thinking of making these buns please do.... they are fab. I made them last night and had to stop myself at 3, they are so moreish. I've never used yeast or made any type of bread before and I found these simple to make. I can see myself making these again and again and again. Thanks for a super recipe!

The Hawaiian Humane Society launched an investigation into who fired shots at cats near the Hawaii Kai Park and Ride in broad daylight.
The area is home to dozens of stray felines. The Humane Society received reports a man used a BB gun to shoot at cats last Friday afternoon. According to a witness, one cat was hit and ran off. The Humane Society doesn't know if the animal survived.
"It just seems odd that someone may be coming out early afternoon and take this kind of action. It seems rather bold," said Ernie Molieri, a Humane Society investigator.
Molieri canvassed the area near the Park and Ride Thursday evening with fliers. The Humane Society is offering a $2,000 reward for tips leading to an arrest. The animal advocacy group emphasizes torturing, poisoning and killing cats is a felony.
"That's a really malicious and cruel act to go to that extent," said Molieri.
Word about the violence against the feral cats spread fast in Hawaii Kai. Many are shocked about the allegations.
"I can't believe someone would go shoot them. That's so mean," said resident Jennifer Bradbury.
With the reward fliers up, some neighbors say they will keep a closer eye on the stray cats and report any suspicious activity to police.
"I drive by here every night so I often see the cats out here," said Julia Wallace. "I will keep my eye out to see if there's anybody suspicious out."
If you have any tips regarding the shooting, you are asked to call the Humane Society at 356-2249.

Alchemy Is Back
Alchemy is alive and well! Yes, that medieval precursor of chemistry, that chimerical search for the philosopher's stone and the transmutation of lead to gold. Modern alchemists have found the philosopher's stone and are selling it and teaching people how to make it themselves out of dew and Celtic sea salt.
The philosopher's stone apparently is an elixir of life that you have to take on a regular basis. According to Nicholas Collette, it "completely eliminates the pharmaceutical industries by curing EVERY disease, and opens the mind to it's [sic] full potential." It extends the life span, reverses the aging process, and opens the door to psychic power.
Instructions for making it are detailed on this website. It takes time and is complicated, but the starting ingredient is simple: morning dew. (more…)

JP Morgan settles with Dutch fund ABP
Dutch pension fund ABP said Tuesday it reached a settlement with JP Morgan Chase on a series of claims related to residential mortgage-backed securities it acquired from the US bank before the global credit crunch.
ABP, which suffered heavy losses during the financial crisis in 2008, said it reached a deal with JP Morgan that was "mutually satisfactory" and that the settlement resolves all litigation between the two parties. It didn't provide more details.
JP Morgan declined to comment.
Like many other institutional investors, ABP is locked in a series of legal proceedings against banks to recoup some of its losses from investments in RMBS portfolios. Many of the securities sank in value following the bust in the US housing market.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission said last month that JP Morgan and Credit Suisse Group had agreed to pay a combined total of more than $400m to settle allegations that they misled investors.
In December 2011, ABP filed a claim with the Supreme Court of the State of New York, accusing JP Morgan and some of its units of giving "false and misleading" information on RMBS securities it acquired from the US bank in 2006 and 2007.
The pension fund, which declined to say how much it has lost, alleged the securities were "far riskier" than had been suggested as they were backed by mortgage loans that were worth "significantly less" than had been represented.
ABP has filed similar claims against other banks, including Goldman Sachs and Credit Suisse. Those proceedings are ongoing.

Wake Me When Interleague Play Is Over
Every year, the Phillies struggle during interleague play and this year is proving to be no different. After getting walloped by the Jays in extra innings last night, it was more of the same again tonight.
Plus, it was wet, chilly, rainy and there was no offense anywhere to be found. Only the Jays fans had reason to stay awake. The rest of us were killing time with a Phillies-hangover.
Jamie Moyer struggled early and gave up three runs in the 1st inning, two of which came with no outs. 6 innings and 5 runs later, Chad Durbin took over and promptly gave up a 2-run homer. And the only Phillies offense in the game was a Jayson Werth home run. Hey, thanks Jayson…at least the poor folks sitting in the cold rain all night had a small moment to cheer.
One more shot at the Jays will come tomorrow afternoon at 1:05pm. Joe Blanton gets the start and, we hope, the win…cross your fingers everyone!

Jenny was the sixth of seven children born to Vernetta Jones and Ray Edmund (Nancy) Sabin in LaMesa, CA, on Sept. 27, 1958. After the divorce of her parents, Jenny was also lovingly raised by her stepfather, Arlon Lowe Van Orden. From her earliest years she had a love of the water and was a State Champion swimmer at Granite Hills High School in San Diego, California. She passed this love on to all of her children, teaching all of them to swim by the time they were a year old. While attending Brigham Young University in Provo, Jenny met Talangofua K. Tukuafu. They were married on April 16, 1977. Together they brought five children into the world, Torry Viliami, Jesse Tipasa (Megan), Kavamahea Leilani, Eva Losaline and Jeffrey Sungalu. Later divorced, Jenny met her jovial chef and woodcarver, Larry Williams in Dayton, Ohio. They were married on March 29, 2001. With the greatest care and tenderness, Jenny cared for him until his death in October 2001. Jenny returned to Heber City, in January 2004 and met the love of her life and fiancé, Russell Morgan.
Together they spent almost a decade taking every spare moment as a chance to explore the western wilderness as they camped, hunted, fished and explored all of God's country. Jenny was a champion sportswoman and embraced every part of "roughin' it". Jenny also welcomed Russell's children Mitch Morgan and Jacey Bonner Black (Chris) and all of her extended Morgan/Hakala/Ingels family into her heart as her own. Together Russell and Jennifer have five adored grandchildren: Nathan Latai (8), Lily Leilani (4), Bella Rae (4), Sophia Makalita (2), and Alyssa Vaimoana (7 months).
Jennifer strongly believed in the importance of taking care of others and bettering the world around her. In her children, she instilled a duty to each other and to others. Her belief in caring for others manifested in her return to school as a mother of five children, where she obtained an Associate's Degree in Nursing and graduated with high honors and a 4.0 GPA as the president of her student association on Dec. 18, 1997. Jenny was a true healer, who dedicated her life to working as a Registered Nurse because she believed in the worth of each individual that God brought into her life.
Jennifer is preceded in death by her husband Larry; mother Vernetta; her stepfather Van, and her stepbrother Tyrone. She is survived by her fiancé Russell Morgan; her father, Ray (Nancy) Sabin; her in-laws: Dee (Tom) Ingels and Pete (Sandy) Morgan; her children: Torry, Mitch, Jesse (Megan), Jacey (Chris), Kava, Eva and Jeff; her sisters: Cindy (Gary) Beadles, Leslie (Robert) Mercado, Michelle (Dave) Straub, Joyce Doyle and Wendy (Jeff) Ervin; her brothers: Vernon (Naomi) Sabin and Lloyd (Heather) Sabin; her stepsiblings: Karen Haduch, Lisa Taylor and Lee Haduch; her grandchildren; and her dog, Peanut.
Condolences may be given at a public viewing on Wednesday, Oct. 2, from 6 p.m.-8 p.m., or Thursday, Oct. 3, from 10 a.m.-11 a.m. Funeral services will be held on Thursday, Oct. 3, at 11:30 a.m., with graveside services immediately following.
All services will be held at the Heber 4th Ward Building, 715 East 600 South in Heber City.

- Abstract
- Quantifying the interaction of drugs with carrier proteins in plasma is of importance for understanding effective drug delivery to disease-affected tissues. In this study, we employed analytical ultracentrifugation and steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy to characterize the interaction of a potential new anticancer drug, AG1478-mesylate, with plasma proteins in a suspension of normal serum albumin (NSA). We found that mesylate salt of AG1478, an epidermal growth factor receptor kinase inhibitor, sediments in 0.1%(w/v) NSA as a complex with a sedimentation coefficient of 3.8 S. This is consistent with the size of human serum albumin. This interaction was quantitated by meniscus depletion sedimentation and fluorescence titration analyses. AG1478-mesylate binds to albumin with an apparent single-site affinity (Kd) of 120 μM. In this article, we show that the cyclodextrin carrier molecule, Captisol, increases the apparent affinity of the hydrophobic AG1478-mesylate for albumin (Kd = 4-6 μM), and we propose that the AG1478-mesylate-Captisol (1:1) complex binds to albumin with at least 10-fold higher affinity than does AG1478-mesylate ligand alone. A fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl-sulfonic acid (FMS) derivative of the 6-aminoquinazoline analog of AG1478, which was designed to have improved serum-binding properties, was shown by fluorescence analysis to bind with approximately 100-fold greater affinity than the parent compound. This has significant implications in the effective delivery of therapeutic agents in vivo.

In the Federation standard system of planetary classification a class M planet, moon, or planetoid was considered to be suitable for humanoid life. By the mid-24th century, thousands of class M planets had been charted by the Federation. These worlds were the first choice for colonization. Since the late 23rd century, the Federation has been terraforming lifeless worlds into class M worlds. Environmental conditions on Federation starships mimic the class M environment. (TOS: "The Cage"; TNG: "Justice", "Home Soil", "Final Mission"; VOY: "Caretaker")
- Atmosphere: The atmosphere contained large percentages of nitrogen and oxygen, and smaller percentages of trace elements. Most planets had nucleogenic particles in the atmosphere. (Atmospheres that lack nucleogenic particles were incapable of producing rain.) The atmosphere on these worlds was Earth normal. The atmosphere, as measured in millibars, might be slightly less or slightly more.(TAS: "The Eye of the Beholder"; TNG: "Clues"; VOY: "Caretaker")
- Surface: The surface of these planets was abundant in water. Under the surface, there were additional sources of water. These worlds were geologically active. (VOY: "Caretaker", "Once Upon a Time", "Dragon's Teeth")
- Mantle: Some of these worlds had a bemonite mantle. (VOY: "Once Upon a Time")
- Planetary core: The planetary core of these planets was nickel-iron. (TNG: "Clues"; VOY: "Once Upon a Time")
- Life: These worlds had ecosystems and contained amino acids and protein readings. High percentages of both indicated healthy plant life. Many of these worlds supported carbon-based plant and animal life. A smaller number of these worlds had proto-humanoid, humanoid, and vulcanoid lifeforms. (TNG: "Angel One", "The Chase"; VOY: "Parturition"; ENT: "Bound", "Observer Effect")
- Other: Class M worlds emitted electromagnetic radiation. (TNG: "In Theory") These worlds were rich in minerals. (VOY: "Investigations") The gravity on these worlds was Earth normal. The gravity might be slightly less or slightly more. (TOS: "The Cage"; TAS: "The Eye of the Beholder")
During the mid-22nd century, Vulcan science used the term Minshara class for such planets. Vulcans were not able to determine if a planet was Minshara-class through orbital scans, instead sending down probes to collect the necessary data. (ENT: "Strange New World"). In 2151, Starfleet officers were not familiar with the term and Enterprise chose to adopt it. However, by 2154, Starfleet had adopted the term class M. A century later the term was in general use in Starfleet, even though the term "Earth-type" was also occasionally used.
By the 23rd century it was theorized that there was a mathematical probability of three million Earth-type planets in the Milky Way Galaxy alone. (TOS: "Balance of Terror")
A planet could fall within the range of the M-class classification. This range was from 1 to 4. The Koinonian homeworld was an example of a M-class type 4 planet. (TNG: "The Bonding", "Clues")

Appendices Edit
Background information Edit
- The term "class M" was first used in "The Cage" to describe the planet Talos IV. The variant "M class" was also often used. The term has become Star Trek shorthand for Earth-like, and due to obvious production practicalities is the "default" for planetary surface scenes.
- The Vulcan term "Minshara-class" (first used in ENT: "Strange New World") was used in Enterprise to denote planets that in other series would have been called class M by the writers, the implied consequence being that the two terms meant the same, and possibly even that M stood for Minshara. This assumption has been contested by some fans, but is at least supported by the Star Charts. From an in-universe standpoint The term M-class was first seen chronologically in a text within the Handbook of Exobiology in "Strange New World", the same episode that introduced Minshara class. However, this mention was barely legible on-screen and may have been included by an art department not yet aware of the intention to use "Minshara class". The first spoken use of the word was in ENT: "Home", in which Archer used it to describe Archer IV, a planet implied (but not confirmed) to be Minshara class in ENT: "Strange New World".
- Spock called the planet from TOS: "Return to Tomorrow" class M despite the atmosphere being ripped away, suggesting that class M goes beyond being able to support life. Alternately, he could have been saying that the planet prior to losing its atmosphere would have been categorized as class M.
- According to the Star Trek: Star Charts, class M planets have ages that range from three to ten billion years and a diameter between 10,000 and 15,000 kilometers. They are located within the ecosphere of a star system.
Apocrypha Edit
- The novel Strangers from the Sky indicates that the term "class M" was used by Humans prior to First Contact with Vulcans, or indeed before Humanity reached any extra-solar planets.

Hi everyone,
My DD is 4 weeks old. She's been jaundiced since week 1. We've been having her bilirubin tested and she's steady between 15 and 16. At first my ped thought it was breastfeeding jaundice, but she's gaining very well (is now 11 lbs 5 oz). So now he is saying that it is breastmilk jaundice and has recommended that I give her formula exclusively for 2 days to bring her level down.
I absolutely will not do this and I told him this. I have been researching as much as I can and have been reading that I don't have to stop bfing.
Is this a problem that will go away on it's own? Is it really even a "problem?" My family has me concerned that damage will be done if I don't take the ped's advice, but I feel strongly about not stopping the bfing.
(Just some back info- this is my 2nd and I bf my first DD for 16 months)
Any advice or personal experience is appreciated! Thanks!

A very special issue of Medical Acupuncture
Every so often, our "friends" on the other side of the science aisle (i.e., the supporters of "complementary and alternative medicine"—otherwise known as CAM or "integrative medicine") give me a present when I'm looking for a topic for my weekly bit of brain droppings about medicine, science, and/or why CAM is neither. It's also been a while since I've written about this particular subject; so it's a win-win for all sides! I get a topic. A certain CAM journal gets extra traffic. And you get the benefit of my usually brilliant deconstruction of dubious science. What could go wrong? I mean, I might not be Mark Crislip, but I do enjoy a good dive into a pile of pseudoscience every now and then. It's just a weird trait of mine.
In any case, there is a journal called Medical Acupuncture. Sadly, it's published by a real scientific publisher, Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., a publisher that has a stable of decent, if not top tier, journals. Unfortunately, it also has a stable of CAM journals, including, of course, the aforementioned journal Medical Acupuncture. Because I happen to be on the mailing list for Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., I recently got an e-mail with an announcement:
How Does Acupuncture Work? The Science behind the Therapy Is Explored in a Special Issue of Medical Acupuncture
New Rochelle, NY, April 16, 2013—Even as medical acupuncture is increasingly being validated as an effective treatment for a broad range of medical conditions, what has been missing is an understanding of the basic science and mechanisms of action of this age-old method of healing. A special issue of Medical Acupuncture, a peer-reviewed journal published by Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers presents a series of articles by authors from around the world who provide diverse and insightful perspectives on the science and physiologic responses underlying medical acupuncture. The issue is available free on the Medical Acupuncture website.
"Understanding acupuncture in the same manner that we understand the mechanism of action and pharmacokinetics of a particular drug will, similarly, enable us to match treatments better with conditions," states Guest Editor Richard F. Hobbs, III, MD. "The net effect will be improved outcomes," he writes in his editorial "Basic Science Matters."

Winn, Lose, or Draw…
After a month of no news or action, the Randy Winn signing was a bit underwhelming…
All off-season, Yankees fans everywhere have yearned for the return of fan favorite Johnny Damon. Perfectly suited for left field in the new Yankee Stadium, it seemed, at least initially, as though the two sides would eventually come together.
Yet, as we approach February, the link between Damon and the Yankees is irreparably damaged. I don't blame the player and I clearly find fault with the agent, Scott Boras. If, at one point, the Yankees were willing to pay 2 years at $14 million when Damon wanted at least 2 years at $22 million, it would seem that there was room for compromise. However, neither side actively pursued resolution and now the team has clearly moved on.
It's a sad situation and the Yankees will regret the move at some point this season. Perhaps a couple of years down the road when Carl Crawford is patrolling left, it won't get a passing thought. But for now, we say goodbye to Damon…prematurely in my opinion. I wish him the very best wherever he lands (even if it is in Toronto). Thanks, Johnny, for the great memories in the Bronx!
William Perlman/The Star Ledger
Meanwhile, the Yankees have signed former San Francisco Giants outfielder Randy Winn. Winn is coming off a disappointing season but he's been a reliable player in years past. I am very disappointed with the move and I truly hope that Brett Gardner wins the job outright in spring training. Perhaps another signing is imminent (Reed Johnson or Rocco Baldelli?) but most likely, the Yankees have made their final player move before heading to Tampa.
It was difficult to watch Xavier Nady sign with the Chicago Cubs. I had really hoped that if the Yankees didn't sign Damon, they'd pursue Nady. Maybe he regresses in his attempt to come back from an injury-filled 2009 season, but I really think he'll have a solid season and will be one of the free agent success stories. It was an excellent move for Lou Piniella and the Cubs.
Chris Faytok/The Star Ledger
Sports-wise, this has been a tough week for me. On Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings lost a heartbreaker to the New Orleans Saints. The Vikings had their chances but it was not meant to be. As Buster Olney put it, you expect to win as a Vikings fan but you are conditioned to lose. I am not optimistic about next season if the starting QB is either Tavaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels so this was definitely the lost opportunity of a lifetime. It was more painful than the loss in the 1998 NFC Championship to the Atlanta Falcons.
Morry Gash/AP
So far, 2010 has not been a great year for my sports teams but there is still much time for a major turnaround. Sorry Julia! I do not intend to lose to you this year…in any sport!

A couple of tough signings. However, the Yankees always seem to land on their feet.
Get use to losing my friend!😉 This is BOSTON'S YEAR!!!! I have to agree with your assessment of the Johnny Damon situation. How many more players are going to have to be treated like this before they realize that Scott Boras is NOT the second coming! I hope they figure this out sooner as opposed to later. Sorry about your Vikings…neither of our teams had what it takes to win it all this season. And with Wes Welker scheduled to have surgery next week, my Patriots already are starting next season in a weaker position…sigh… And sorry , I will have to root for the Saints in the Super Bowl. I could ONLY root for Indy when they were playing the evil JETS!!
I'm surprised that the Yankees didn't get Johnny back. It's like saying why the Red Sox didn't get Jason Bay back.
Finding fault with "Beam Me Up Scotty" Boras? When has anyone ever done that?😉

In Thailand, Christians make up less than 1 percent of the population in a predominantly Buddhist country. But every Thursday evening a small group of Christian university students gather together to worship and glorify God at Naresuan University.
During this time of praise and singing, Maneenoot and Ittipol from the Leadership Development Program observe their college friends who attend this small group. Some students walk in casually, and others enter in a hurry, rushing from their previous class. A handful of students sit by themselves nearby.
The hearts of Ittipol and Maneenoot are crying out to bring back all the lost souls to their heavenly Father's kingdom.
In 2005, a group of Leadership Development Program students decided to join together to form a group in order to fellowship and support each other while attending Naresuan University, located in Payao province.
At the time, out of the 20,000 students who attend the university, there were only a few Christian students who met for weekly Bible studies and prayer together near the university reservoir.
Maneenoot was one of the students who attended the Bible study group. She has been attending for the past two years, ever since she first entered Naresuan University.
Deep in her heart Maneenoot knew that her arrival at Naresuan University was not arbitrary. On the contrary, God had a specific purpose for bringing her to this university. Despite attending the weekly Bible studies, Maneenoot felt that this was not enough to satisfy her desire to serve the Lord.
"On November last year [2008] we planned to host a Christmas party and we wanted to invited our non-Christian friends. We wanted them to have fun and meet new people.
"Most importantly, we wanted our non-believer friends to hear about the true meaning of Christmas day and ultimately come to accept Jesus into their lives."
When the Christmas party took place on Christmas day it attracted a large turnout. There were 50 students who showed up to the party held at the local church.
Pastor Nachared shared the story of Jesus, explaining why He was born on earth and His sacrifice for all mankind — the ultimate Christmas gift.
It was evident that God was working among the students. Eleven students accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior after the party.
"God had answered our prayers for revival in this university. God has enabled us to hear His call and evangelize to our friends. I am so thankful to God that He is moving in my university." — Maneenoot
The small Christian Bible study group has grown to become a Christian club, the Give With Love Club, that now has more than 60 members, half of them believers.
"I still know that God has plans to expand our Bible study group. My friends and I share a common burden and desire to glorify and expand His kingdom. We want to bring salvation to all our non-believing friends." — Ittipol
There are four Leadership Development Program students who lead this club. They are responsible for all the programs and the activities.
At times things seem difficult and are beyond their control. Yet time and again God has proven Himself faithful by opening doors for those who seek and serve Him.
God provided the club with two precious assets to help lead and guide them. God brought His faithful servant, Pastor Nachared, and a Christian professor, Sudarat, to serve as mentors and consultants to the four students and to the rest of the Bible study club.
Pastor Nachared always provides counseling and guidance for the students. He attends the weekly club meetings at the university.
"There are now many students who come to the club. During some weeks the chairs in the meeting room are all occupied and there are hardly any available seats left. The club has grown immensely."
One Thursday evening at around 6:45, more than 50 students came to the huge, sloped lecture room completely soaking wet as it was raining cats and dogs that night.
Despite the dismal weather, half an hour after the program started at least five new students decided to join the club. Even the rain could not stop them attending the Give With Love Club.
Maneenoot begins the club meetings by singing songs and playing games in order to establish a relaxed and fun atmosphere. She has observed how important it is to make people laugh and unwind, especially if they have had a stressful day. Then, an invited special guest shares his or her testimony.
On that rainy Thursday evening, the special speaker was a policeman who was in charge of patrolling the university area.
The policeman's testimony was easy for the students to relate to. He was born into a Buddhist family. He shared how he decided to believe in Jesus, accepting Him as his personal Lord and Savior, and how God has transformed his life as well as in the lives of his family members.
Before the meeting ended, Pastor Nachared challenged all the non-believers to develop a personal relationship with Christ and encouraged the Christians to stand firm in their faith.
"The club exists for two main reasons: The first is to evangelize, and the second is to build a strong and powerful Christian group within the university." — Ittipol
"I love sharing the Gospel to others because it is my life. Even though most of my friends are Buddhist, they have never rejected me because of my faith. I strongly believe that God never fails in helping me and is constantly by me when I speak about Him. Most importantly, all of my friends know that I am Christian because they see God working in me." — Maneenoot
Studying in university is no easy task. Students have many responsibilities. They are constantly busy with never-ending papers to complete, the many classes they must attend, as well as the many lessons they study.
In times of weariness, God has strengthened the Leadership Development Program students and shown His delight toward their passion and calling to serve Him. God has worked to soften many students' hearts and has harvested the lambs that have been lost.
"I became a Christian because of this club [Give With Love Club]. When I first attended this club, I could feel the friendliness and warmth from the Leadership Development Program students and the rest of the club members. After I confessed my sins and received Jesus Christ in my life, there was a remarkable happiness that emerged from within my body and soul. I am so happy and privileged to believe in God and to be apart of His family. — Nantapol, a new believer
The club not only serves to unite new believers but it also helps to gather together Christian students to build a strong fellowship group. One Christian student says,
"When I first entered the university I searched for a Christian group. Then God heard my prayer and brought me to this club.
"Every time I attend the club meetings and interact with fellow club members, I am always left feeling very invigorated and renewed. Especially after all the stress that I encounter after each busy day.
"For me club meetings are a time that allows me to be close to God, as He washes away my tiredness and fatigue and replaces it with renewed energy. I know that I am not alone because I have God and I have wonderful friends whom I can share His love with."
The Leadership Development Program students have proved themselves worthy of the title "leadership students" because they have dared to make a difference and have strived to be fruitful in every circumstance they face.
Professor Sudarat observes,
"I notice that the Give with Love Club has something that is different than all the other clubs. I can feel that the club members are united together and each member has an inner strength and joy that really stands out.
"They focus on creating a joyful and positive atmosphere that encourages its members to feel comfortable. They are not afraid to be open and unveil themselves to others in order to connect with and establish close relationships with other club members. This sort of atmosphere enables them to be honest and open with each other, as trust is a natural byproduct of this God-inspired club.
"I know that managing the club can be difficult but they do it because their hearts are filled with God's love. Each and every one of them possesses a determination and willingness to serve the Lord. I have never heard a single one of them complain.
"Their willingness to serve God is just one of the tangible ways that I can see and feel God's spirit working through them. I am very impressed with and inspired by the Leadership Development Program students."
Another big vision and burden for these Leadership Development Program students is to establish a church in front of the university. This church would serve as a center for evangelism and worship.
They wish to follow and fulfill Jesus' great commandment from the book of Mathew 28:19-20 (NIV):
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

UHHHHHHHH OHHHHHH Speed's back???
Scott Speed will attempt to qualify for Sunday's Brickyard 400, driving the No. 37 Max Q Motorsports Ford Fusion.
Speed's NASCAR Sprint Cup career had been in limbo since Red Bull Racing dropped him at the end of last season. Speed subsequently sued Red Bull for breach of contract, with litigation still pending.
Max Q Motorsports is owned by Larry Gunselman and its No. 37 Ford is 39th in driver points this season, with Tony Raines behind the wheel for most of the season.
Speed will drive the car in the next three Cup races - Indy, Pocono and Watkins Glen — "with hopes of continuing the rest of the 2011 season pending sponsorship," according to a team release issued Monday afternoon.
For his career, Speed has 76 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series starts, with one top five and three top 10s. He also has eight top 10s in 13 starts in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, and one win, four top fives and nine top 10s in 16 starts in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.
Earlier this year, he entered the Indianapolis 500 with Dragon Racing, but after practicing for the race, parted ways with the team prior to qualifying.
"I am excited to get back to the track," said Speed. "Max Q Motorsports seem to have a good operation and a great group of guys working on the 37. Ford has a great engine package so I'm hopeful that we can get the ball rolling quickly and be competitive out the gate."
"We are excited to have Scott Speed join us," said Larry Gunselman, Max Q Motorsports owner. "He has shown great talent in a small period of time in stock cars and with the right operation I think things can really take off. We will start by focusing on qualifying and go from there."

City leaders in La Crosse are looking into whether beefing up the bus system could be an answer to the city's parking issues.
The Municipal Parking Utility Board is initiating brainstorming sessions with the Municipal Transit Utility Board to find solutions.
Driving gets you from point A to point B. But once you get there, you have to find a place to park.
Right now, drivers can mostly do that for free in La Crosse -- something City Council president and Parking Utility Board chairwoman Audrey Kader said has become a real problem.
"People have been spoiled here with a lot of free parking. And yet it's very expensive to provide parking spaces. Even parking spaces on the street cost money to support and maintain, but people just take it so totally for granted," said Kader.
Free parking creates a lot of demand, which means more wear and tear, which means more maintenance, which means more money.
But what if more people took the bus to point B instead of driving?
That's why the Municipal Parking Utility Board is reaching out to the MTU Board to strategize about how to increase bus ridership.
Despite shrinking federal, state and local dollars, bus ridership has been steadily increasing in recent years.
"Last year, we had over 1.2 million rides," said Keith Carlson, La Crosse transit manager.
Carlson said if the city wants to expand the MTU's nine routes, or offer more run times, it's going to take a lot more dollars.
"Anytime you add service, you're going to make it more convenient for people to ride and encourage more people to ride. But, again, that comes at a cost. If we're going to increase service, where is that funding going to come from? We haven't identified that," said Carlson.
He said once that big question gets answered, it'll be easier for the city to decide which route will take them in the right direction.
Public transit is just one piece of the parking puzzle.
Plans are already in the works to start having paid parking in city ramps by the end of the year.
The Parking Board was supposed to meet with the MTU Board Wednesday night to start strategizing, but not enough board members showed up.
The first meeting has been pushed to next month.

Hauenstein Center event to examine significant conservative writing, 60 years later
Posted on November 06, 2013
Still considered his seminal work more than half a century after it was first published, Russell Kirk's "The Conservative Mind" will be the focus of a discussion at an event hosted by Grand Valley State University's Hauenstein Center for Presidential Studies and the Intercollegiate Studies Institute.
"The Conservative Mind at 60" will take place Saturday, November 9, from 8:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. in Grand Valley's L.V. Eberhard Center on the Pew Grand Rapids Campus.
The conference will focus on Kirk's thoughts on the tradition of modern political conservatism, and if they can maintain relevance in the age of modern politics. Speakers will include Hauenstein Center director Gleaves Whitney, associate professor of law at Ohio Northern University Bruce Frohnen, and editor of the University Bookman Gerald Russello. Complimentary breakfast and lunch will be served, but registration is requested at hauensteincenter.org.
For more information, contact the Hauenstein Center for Presidential Studies at (616) 331-2770 or visit hauensteincenter.org

The anti-vaccine movement strikes back against Dr. Paul Offit
In my five years in the blogosphere, two years blogging for SBM, and over a decade in Internet discussion forums about medicine and "alternative" medicine, I've learned a few things. One thing that I've learned is that one of the biggest differences between those whose world view is based on science and who therefore promote science-based medicine and those promoting pseudoscience, quackery, and anti-science is that science inculcates in its adherents a culture of free, open, and vigorous debate. Indeed, to outsiders, this debate can seem (and sometimes is) vicious. In other words, if you're going to be a scientist, you need to have a thick skin because you will have to defend your hypotheses and conclusions, sometimes against some very hostile other scientists. That same attitude of a Darwinian struggle between scientific ideas, with only those best supported by evidence and with the most explanatory power surviving, is a world view that those not steeped in science have a hard time understanding.
Among those who don't understand science, few have a harder time with the rough-and-tumble debate over evidence and science that routinely goes on among scientists than those advocating pseudoscience. Indeed, in marked contrast to scientists, they tend to cultivate cultures of the echo chamber. Examples abound and include discussion forums devoted to "alternative" medicine like CureZone, where never is heard a discouraging word — because anyone expressing too much skepticism about the prevailing view on such forums invariably finds himself first shunned by other members of the discussion forums and then, if he persists, booted from the forum by the moderators. In marked contrast, on skeptical forums, most of the time almost anything goes. True, the occasional supporter of woo who finds his way onto a skeptical forum will face a lot of criticism, some of it brutal. However, rarely will such a person be banned, unless he commits offenses unrelated to his questioning of scientific dogma, such as insulting or abusive behavior towards other forum participants or trolling. Such people may annoy the heck out of us skeptics sometimes, but on the other hand, they do actually from time to time challenge us to defend our science and prevent us from becoming too complacent. Indeed, that's what I like about skeptics and being a scientist. Nothing or no one is sacred.

The teams: The Green Bay Packers (1-1) vs. the Cincinnati Bengals (1-1).
The time: Noon CDT Sunday.
The place: Paul Brown Stadium, Cincinnati.
The TV coverage: FOX – WITI (Ch. 6 in Milwaukee), WMSN (Ch. 47 in Madison) and WLUK (Ch. 11 in Green Bay).
The announcers: Joe Buck and Troy Aikman in booth and Pam Oliver on the sideline.
The coaches: Green Bay's Mike McCarthy is 81-43 (including 6-4 in the postseason) in his eighth season as the Packers' coach and as an NFL head coach. The Bengals' Marvin Lewis is 80-85=1 (including 0-4 in the postseason) as coach of the Bengals and as an NFL head coach.
The series: The Bengals lead the all-time regular-season series, 6-5, including 3-1 in Cincinnati. The Bengals won the last meeting, on Sept. 20, 2009 in Green Bay, and the last game in Cincinnati, a 21-14 victory on Oct. 30, 2005.
The rankings: The Packers' top-ranked offense is No. 16 in rushing and No. 2 in passing. Their 29th-ranked defense is No. 17 against the run and No. 30 against the pass. The Bengals' 12th-ranked offense is tied for No. 17 in rushing and is No. 13 in passing. Their seventh-ranked defense is No. 7 against the run and No. 14 against the pass.
The line: The Packers are favored by 3 points.
The injury report:
Packers – Out: S Morgan Burnett (hamstring), CB Jarrett Bush (hamstring), CB Casey Hayward (hamstring). Doubtful: FB John Kuhn (hamstring). Questionable: RB Eddie Lacy (concussion). Probable: TE Jermichael Finley (toe), DT Johnny Jolly (neck), G T.J. Lang (back), CB Tramon Williams (groin)
Bengals – Out: CB Brandon Ghee (concussion), DE Robert Geathers (elbow; on injured reserve). Doubtful: CB Dre Kirkpatrick (hamstring), G Mike Pollak (knee). Questionable: OT Anthony Collins (knee), S Jeromy Miles (hamstring), CB Adam Jones (abdomen). Probable: RB Giovani Bernard (hamstring); DE Carlos Dunlap (thigh), DE Wallave Gilberry (knee), WR Marvin Jones (foot), TE Alex Smith (illness).
Thinning the herd: The Packers decided not to promote practice-squad running back Michael Hill to the 53-man roster Saturday, which meant one of two things: Either Lacy, who did not practice all week, will be active and ready to play, or they simply decided to take their chances with only two healthy running backs – would-be starter James Starks, who is coming off a 132-yard rushing performance last week against Washington, and rookie Johnathan Franklin, who struggled in training camp and has yet to play a snap from scrimmage.
McCarthy, though, seemed more concerned with the prospect of having just two running backs active than with the idea of playing Lacy without practicing him all week, saying "it's not ideal for a rookie to go through the week without any preparation and then play in the game," but after playing with just two running backs in a 2011 loss at Kansas City, McCarthy doesn't want to go down that road again. His ideal scenario, one would think, would have Starks and Franklin handling the work and staying healthy, leaving Lacy in uniform but on the sideline.
The greater issue, though, could be the loss of Kuhn. Not only is Kuhn the Packers' best blocker when it comes to picking up blitzes on third down, but he's also the only fullback on the roster.
In pass protection, McCarthy said Starks was awarded a game ball for more than just his rushing effort, but also for his pass protection work. Nevertheless, he has had his troubles in recognition in the past, and Franklin was awful in the preseason finale at Kansas City in that role, whiffing twice on blitzers.
Meanwhile, McCarthy said during the week that he views the tight end and fullback positions as interchangeable, and they'll have to be with Kuhn unlikely to play. While Andrew Quarless has motioned into the backfield and lined up there before – including on Starks' 32-yard touchdown run last week against the Redskins – there's still an adjustment to be made.
"It's different. It's different for him blocking in-line as opposed to in the backfield," running backs coach Alex Van Pelt said. "There's more space. There's a little more to negotiate through the offensive line to get on the right guy. But it's something we've practiced and always have here. Tight ends and fullbacks can do the same types of jobs and this is a group of guys that can do it. You try to cover your butt a little bit and make sure everybody can do a little bit of everything."
Asked if having Quarless in the backfield will alter what the Packers do, Kuhn replied, "We don't really have to change much in the game plan this week. Drew has been mainly the guy who – when I'm out of the game or we're in a sub situation or we're in two-tight end situations he's more or less the lead blocker and he does a good job with that. So I think the game plan this week isn't going to really get too creative. It's going to be much of the same things we've run before."
Quarless, meanwhile, is happy for the opportunity after missing all of last season following his 2011 knee injury.
"It's something I've done and I've been doing," Quarless said. "(On Starks' TD), it's funny because I didn't feel too good about the block. It was a good block, but I really pride myself on being dominant. I want to put people on their butt every play if I'm blocking. I'm not satisfied unless he's on the ground and he's on his back."
Double trouble : The Bengals certainly aren't the first team to see potential in having two talented tight ends. The Packers did it during their 1996 Super Bowl run with Mark Chmura and Keith Jackson, and the New England Patriots seemingly had a revolutionary offense before Rob Gronkowski's injury problems and Aaron Hernandez's, um, legal troubles. Nevertheless, the Bengals' tandem of Jermaine Gresham and Tyler Eifert – whom the Bengals drafted in the first round of the 2010 and 2013 NFL drafts, respectively – will pose a huge challenge to the Packers, who've had their problems defending the tight end during Dom Capers' tenure as defensive coordinator.
While wide receiver A.J. Green leads the team with 15 receptions for 203 yards and two touchdowns, Gresham is second with 11 receptions for 101 yards and Eifert has eight catches for 113 yards, including a 61-yarder against Pittsburgh on Monday night.


text: Hi! I have a problem. In a different thread, I wrote about the fact that my dd was not gaining weight and needed to supplement. Well we had a lot of frozen milk from the 1st 2 weeks so the routine was I would offer her my breast 1st ,then a bottle of ebm than I would pump for 10 min on a hospital grade pump. My dd is 3 weeks old and hit a growth spurt and I used up the frozen milk to supplement. She is latching on fine (had a LLL confirm) now that she is stronger but I have no idea how much milk she is getting and she doesn't seem full without the bottle. She is still not at her birth weight so I can't drop the bottle yet but I am about 1.5 oz shy of enough expressed milk to satisfy. When should I pump? Sorry so confused and exhauseted.

Seeing Double1 of 15
According to Christina Bloom, founder of Find Your FaceMate, couples should have more in common than a love of music and travel. Her dating site partners men and women based on a facial recognition algorithm. The theory? The more you and a potential mate resemble each other, the better the chemistry. See which look-alike stars are a perfect match.
This actor could be Charlize Theron's brother—or her boyfriend. (See pics of her ex.) Both have broad cheekbones, prominent eyes, similar chins and lips.
Perfection, Squared2 of 15
Bloom says that Zoe Saldana and this leading man "have distinctly similar face shapes. Both have strong, squared-off jaws, prominent foreheads and similarly shaped lips." (Which film did they work together on?)
Two Cute3 of 15
Taylor Swift hasn't been very lucky in love (which ex is slamming one of her songs?), but maybe seeking out a man like this apparently single actor would help turn things around. According to Bloom, the two have almost identical mouths and the same broad cheekbones.
May-December Romance4 of 15
If Katie Couric doesn't have qualms about dating a younger man, then Bloom says she and this boyishly handsome actor would be a promising combo. (What is Katie's new venture?) "They have similar square faces, longer chins and narrow, thin lips," she notes. (Even their slightly crooked smiles are similar!)
Triple Play5 of 15
Sarah Silverman would make a great match with this UFC champ, who also looks uncannily like a certain well-known actor. (Hint: This is one of his classic films.) All three have long, lean faces of a similar shape, similar chins and slightly rounded foreheads, says Bloom. (Who is Silverman's popular ex?)
Chin Up6 of 15
Although he may be spoken for (and we're not encouraging any breakups), this Hollywood hunk shares the same face shape as Demi Moore. (See photos of her). What's more, "their chins are very similar, and their eyes are equally spaced on their respective faces," says Bloom.
Getting Friendly7 of 15
With similar lips, chins, cheeks and setting of the eyes, Pippa Middleton (see photos of her) and this funny man are two of a kind. Hopefully she won't mind the age difference, but at the very least, they can be friends.
Boxed Set8 of 15
Cameron Diaz never seems to stay single for very long. Could this handsome Mexican actor, six years her junior, be her next beau? Bloom says their squared-off jaws, rectangular foreheads, wide-set eyes and soft lips make them a winning pair. (See photos of her ex-boyfriends.)
Cheek to Cheek9 of 15
"Beyond the specific features, we scan for an overall look—a similarity not reducible to a specific likeness—which we refer to as the gestalt theory of attraction," says Bloom. Here that theory brings together Sofia Vergara and this actor, who may not be the spitting image of Vergara (watch her on Modern Family) but has the same broad cheekbones and a similarly shaped mouth.
Young Love?10 of 15
Rihanna's squared-off chin, face shape and distance between the eyes make her a good match for this erstwhile child star. (Whom was he married to?) "Although their lips are a different size, they're a very similar shape," notes Bloom.
Double or Nothing11 of 15
We're rooting for Jennie Garth to find someone new. (Watch her new reality show.) Bloom's pick in an ideal world—one where he isn't already married (see photos of his wife)—would be this roguish Brit actor. "Both have long faces, close-set eyes, high foreheads and features centered similarly on the face," she says.
Game, Set, Match12 of 15
Bloom says that when it comes to finding a FaceMate, skin color and ethnicity are irrelevant. Here she partners single Serena Williams (which rapper did she date?) with this funny man. (Yes, he is happily married, but work with us). "They both have broader faces with wide cheek bones and a slight narrowing at the chin," says Bloom.
Model Behavior13 of 15
What makes Maria Shriver a good match with this model-turned-actor? Prominent jawlines, strong chins and deep-set eyes. And if he is anything like the character he played on this show, then a slightly older women could be the type he is looking for.
The Dating Game14 of 15
If this consummate bachelor splits with his current flame (who is she?), then his long face, broad forehead and tapered chin make him Mr. Right for Kerry Washington. (What TV show does she star in?)
What a Drag15 of 15
One only has to see Lady Gaga in drag (see photos) to know that her FaceMate is a young version of a certain well-known writer/actor. (Which one of his plays was made into a movie?)

Playgroup was a studio party/rumpus-room collective orchestrated by Trevor Jackson, a graphic designer (with sleeves of releases by Eric B. & Rakim, Stereo MC's, and the Jungle Brothers to his credit), producer, and remixer who had previously operated as Underdog and Skull. A melting pot of disco, funk, hip-hop, dub, new wave, and house, 2001's Playgroup, released on the Source label, featured appearances from Roddy Frame, Edwyn Collins, Shinehead, Kathleen Hanna, and Rowetta. Astralwerks picked the record up for release in the U.S. in March of 2002. By the end of that year, Jackson released a pair of mix albums: his contribution to the DJ-Kicks series and a very limited disc called Party-Mix. In 2005, Peacefrog gathered two discs of Jackson's remixes for the likes of Soft Cell, Yello, and the Rapture, and issued it as Reproduction. A couple years later, Jackson briefly reactivated the Playgroup name to contribute a disc to Rapster's Kings of Electro double-disc mix set. Jackson also ran the Output label, home to releases by Fridge, the Four Tet, LCD Soundsystem, Black Strobe, Mu, and Colder.

Coast to Coast: Three of a Kind
Ares 1-X on Pad 39-B awaiting launch tomorrow morning. STS-129 is on Pad 39-A in the background. The Delta and Atlas rocket pads are in the distance. Photo courtesy NASA.
I wrote on Thursday about the historical significance of two different spacecraft on the Shuttle launch pads.
I suspected NASA would have someone take a photo showing both craft, and sure enough it showed up online today.
Ares 1-X is supposed to launch tomorrow (Tuesday) at 8 AM EDT with a four-hour launch window, but there's only a 40% chance of acceptable weather.
I hope to go out and videotape it, but I've been sick with a mild case of the flu since Saturday. If they launch, and if I film it, I'll post it here as I've posted previous launches since arriving in Florida.
2 Comments
With the delay of launch at KSC, hopefully you can get over your bug and get the launch.
I've read your blog for a while now, but this is the first I've registered to comment. I'm in Irvine which I believe is your past residence. Does Brandon Wood get his shot next year? I have a gut feeling that Figgins is only retained if he accepts below his market value from the Angels, and Chone would be a fool to accept that.
Thanks for posting.
Well, this was certainly one of the more creative scrubs. Almost everything that could go wrong did.
We were within two minutes of launch at one point when a cargo ship strayed into the danger area. A lot of jokes went through the crowd about a sub from the local Naval station using it for torpedo practice. Had the cargo ship not interfered, they would have launched.
And at 11:15 AM, it rained on us.
So nearly five hours were wasted waiting for the launch, and I crawled back into my sickbed.
But it might be worth the wait, as it was hazy all morning and we never got a clear view of the pad.
My "A" camcorder went in for repair so I'm using my older one which doesn't have anywhere near the sharp picture and range. The "A" device is due back tomorrow afternoon, so if they don't launch until Thursday I can get better video. But that's just being selfish.
They're predicting it'll be quite a show because the engine is so powerful for such a thin vehicle. It's been compared to a bottle rocket. It's going to be similar to the earliest days of Mercury, when they were doing suborbital launches — it goes down-range for two minutes and then separates, plopping into the Atlantic. With a really clear view, we might actually see that.
Anyway, back to baseball …
Interesting you bring up Brandon Wood, because as I watched Figgins during the post-season I kept thinking about how Figgins' decision will affect Wood's future.
Erick Aybar has pretty much established himself at shortstop, so if Woody stays it's at third base. Figgins is versatile, but there really isn't another position open for him. If Rivera went to DH and Figgins to LF, Vladi's gone but if Abreu stays I think he's close to a DH role too. Rivera could play RF but he didn't do all that well defensively this year.
Figgins' departure would also radically change the Angels' offense. Who would bat leadoff? Probably Aybar. We'd have less speed, few stolen bases, although with Wood you get more power. But Brandon will strike out quite a bit and I suspect his AVG will be around .250.
There's always the possibility of a trade.
Vladi is happy in Anaheim but the Angels may feel that, as with Garret Anderson, it's time to move on. I think Chone is happy here too, and hasn't made the noises about reaping his reward as John Lackey has, but the Angels may decide to move on with Chone too.
My personal priority would be signing Lackey. If they let go Guerrero ($15M) and Kelvim Escobar ($9.5M), that's almost $25M between those two to apply towards Lackey. But Figgins $5.775M) and Abreu ($5M) certainly deserve a raise.
It's very unpredictable right now. I guess we just wait and see.
As for Irvine … I came to Irvine to work for the city in December 1978. I bought a home in Woodbridge in 1995. We moved to Florida in late May 2009.

A fire at a food processing plant in southeastern Wisconsin has been contained. And, local residents who'd been evacuated have been allowed to return home.
The fire broke out Wednesday evening at the Echo Lake Foods plant in Burlington. Police evacuated about 50 people who live near the plant, and they were allowed to return home Thursday morning.
No injuries have been reported.
Burlington Mayor Bob Miller says hazardous-materials handlers have secured the area where chemical tanks are stored. State emergency officials say there was a "minor release" of ammonia residue from pipes, and they're monitoring air quality.
Firefighters from more than 80 fire departments from southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois took turns fighting the raging blaze. Fire officials say the cause of the fire is under investigation.
