Lithium-ion battery packs for electric vehicles will fall to an "installed price" of about $523 per kilowatt hour, Pike predicts. Meanwhile, the firm estimates that global revenue from lithium-ion batteries specifically used for transportation will jump to $14.6 billion in 2017, up from $2 billion last year.
"The market for Li-ion batteries will be driven primarily by plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and battery electric vehicles, which require much larger battery packs than hybrids," said John Gartner, research director at Pike Research, in a statement.
Lithium-ion batteries present a classic chicken-or-egg issue with electric-vehicle adoption because battery costs need to decrease in order to yield the lower sticker prices that will entice more shoppers to consider buying EVs and hybrids. Conversely, battery packs need to be produced in high volumes in order to get costs to fall.
Even so, demand for electric-drive vehicles is expected to rise over the next few years as fuel prices increase and automakers offer a wider choice of plug-ins. Pike Research optimistically predicted last year that cumulative global sales of plug-in vehicles will reach 5.2 million units in 2017, up from 114,000 vehicles in 2011.
Estimates of battery costs have varied as automakers and tech analysts have looked into ways to make them less costly. The Nissan Leaf EV's battery pack has been reported to be as cheap as $375 per kilowatt hour, while Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk said last month that battery costs may fall to less than $200 per kilowatt hour "in the not-too-distant future."
Managing transportation emissions and reducing energy insecurity due to a volatile oil industry are on the top of the agenda of many countries across the world. Electric vehicles (EVs) have a significant role to play in both of those areas, and while EVs will continue to be a niche market through the remainder of this decade, the global automotive industry is beginning to move away from the internal combustion engine and toward electric drivetrains. For auto manufacturers, the key to this shift will be the continual advancement in the capabilities of the vehicles' batteries, which will be led by lithium ion (Li-ion) chemistries. The convergence of the automotive industry toward battery power and the engineering of safe, reliable, and economical Li-ion batteries will slowly reshape the automotive industry as it moves toward electrification. According to a recent report from Pike Research, as manufacturing efficiencies improve and access to lithium expands, the installed cost of Li-ion batteries will fall by more than one-third by the end of 2017.
In terms of revenue, the market for Li-ion batteries for transportation will grow from $2.0 billion annually in 2011 to more than $14.6 billion by 2017, the cleantech market intelligence firm forecasts.
"The market for Li-ion batteries will be driven primarily by plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and battery electric vehicles (BEVs), which require much larger battery packs than hybrids," says research director John Gartner. "Battery chemistries that prioritize energy capacity over power density can satisfy both the PHEV and EV battery segments, enabling vendors to offer products to multiple vendors for multiple models. Reducing the installed price of EV batteries to $523 per kilowatt hour in 2017 will be a critical step towards making PEVs cost-competitive with petroleum-powered vehicles."
Although most plug-in electric vehicles today have a range of between 40 and 100 miles, continued concerns over range and the availability of charging infrastructure remain among the biggest impediments to the wider adoption of Li-ion batteries. On the supply side, challenges such as achieving higher energy density, better safety, and greater discharge/charge rates linger despite advances in battery technology. Although a number of Li-ion chemistries are available today, none of them can claim to be the ideal solution. Manufacturers must make tradeoffs in choosing a particular type of Li-ion battery over others.
Pike Research's report, "Electric Vehicle Batteries", outlines the critical role that governments around the globe will play in establishing the electric vehicle market, and the challenges that manufacturers face in creating an industry that will be able to stand on its own as government influence diminishes. The study examines the key market drivers for the electrification of vehicles, the status of R&D in batteries, the impact of declining battery production costs on vehicle sales, and the resale of batteries after their useful life in vehicles. An Executive Summary of the report is available for free download on the firm's website.

Mind Power Seduction HTML version
Neurological Triggers
These techniques go back hundreds of years and can give you very sharp &
clear inner vision. All types of information is stored in your brain and these
techniques will bring this information instantly into your mind. Give them
plenty of practice and you will see what I mean. The pictures in your mind
have to be very clear and powerful in order for your mind power to be
effective. The clearer the picture, the easier it will be for you to feel as if
you are actually experiencing your visualized goal.
This first method will enhance your general clarity of your inner eye. Go
outside during the day when the sun is shining brightly. With your eyes
closed, look directly at the sun. Ever heard of "full spectrum lights"? You can use these if you
don't live in a sunny place. Stare at the sun with your eyes closed for about 15 - 30 seconds.
With you eyes still closed and looking at the sun, massage your eyes for the same amount of time
(15 - 30 seconds). This will produce lots of colors within your sight. Try to keep the colors
focused in your mind and awareness as the colors appear. As you hold these colors in your mind
and you can "see" them with your eyes closed, move your head away and back towards the sun a
few times. Do this movement for about half a minute. Pause for a little and repeat the entire
procedure a few times. Be careful not to rub your eyes too much; just a gentle massage. If you
can hold the colors in your mind for more than 30 seconds, then continue to do so. The key is not
to try and see the colors for a long time. The key is clarity in retaining what colors you see and
the movement to and away from the sun.
What you are doing is stimulating the cones of your eyes which effects the direct interaction of
information going to your brain - thus giving you a more clearer visualization ability. When I
was a young boy, I remember rubbing my eyes (usually before bed). If it was dark in my room,
rubbing my eyes for about 90 seconds cause me to see all sorts of colors and colored dots that
looked liked stars in the sky (at least I used to pretend these little dots were stars). If I kept my
eyes closed for a moment after my rubbing, I tried to counts the clumps or see clearly the
individual dots of colors. Even though I think I rubbed my eyes too long (since they got sore),
little did I know that I was improving my powers of visualization in an unplanned way.
This, and the methods to follow, might seem very basic but you should not underestimate the
power that they have. You just need to work with them to see for yourself.
1) This is an exercise for the lens of your eyes, which will keep them flexible and will in turn
enhance your powers of visualization. Start by looking at a book placed at a distance of 6
inches away from you. Then look and focus on something far away (about 6 feet). If you
wear glasses, don't use them for these exercises. Keep this focusing up back and forth
without straining. This will give you great strength in the lenses of your eyes which will
make it better to visualize. Remember, when you visualize you are still using your eyes (just

2/7-2/13 CBJ Prospect Week in Review+Beanpot Recap
- Updated: February 15, 2011
Sorry for the delay folks but I decided to wait like I did for the AHL all star game but this week its for the Beanpot Tournament in Boston. First things first some player/injury updates, now these 2 players I believe are more Falcon's prospects than Jackets but ill keep it quick. Chris Francis has left the Ft. Wayne Komets and is now awaiting reassignment whether that's to the AHL or ECHL is unknown. Tyler Murovich was sent to Springfield after attending training camp but couldn't find a spot on the Falcons. The Falcons loaned the Pennsylvania native to the Reading Royals and he's picked up 10 points in 14 games. Onto the injuries Allen York missed this weekend after suffering a concussion, he could return next weekend. The Engineers have gone 1-2 with 1 loss being in overtime also they tied the game York was injured in and couldn't finish. You gotta love the Internet 1 week I say I'm having trouble finding info on Petr Straka's injury the next week I get some help. Many thanks to reader Alain C he translated a article that explains he injured his ankle in a practice but it didn't say how severe the injury is. The injury happened at a bad time as Straka was regaining game shape and was playing solid.
While the Jackets are fighting for their playoff live most of the team's CHL prospects don't have that problem. Of the 6 teams with a prospect 4 have clinched and 1 is in 2nd place in its conference. The only team that's still fighting for a spot are the Kamloops Blazers(even though prospect Austin Madaisky is out for the season im still keeping track). The Blazers are only a point out of 8th place in the WHL's Western Conference and if they do make it it looks like they'd face the juggernaut known as the Portland Winterhawks. Speaking of the Winterhawks this week showed why YOU DON'T MESS WITH THE JOHAN!! In 3 games this week the Hawks went 2-1 and Ryan Johansen showed why he was selected 4th overall. In 3 games Johansen scored 3 goals and added 5 assists, in a 10-5 win over Seattle Johansen had a career high 5 points(1-4-5). Just 2 nights later Johansen had a hat trick or at least that's what the league site said on Sunday but checking Monday they changed it to 2 goals and a assist(booo! WHL) being named 2nd and 1st star in those games. In the QMJHL the Saint John Sea Dogs have won 11 straight and haven't loss in regulation in 2011. Mathieu Corbeil made 1 start picking up a win over PEI making 20 saves for his ever growing career high 13th win. I'm still trying to judge if Corbeil is playing better or having the defense of the top team in Canada is leading to these better numbers, in 25 games with Halifax Corbeil was 7-15-0-1 while in just 7 games with Saint John he's 6-0-1. After losing 4 straight the Saginaw Spirit got back on the winning track going 2-0 winning in overtime and a shootout. Saginaw is the team that sits in 2nd place just 5 points behind conference leader Owen Sound. Dalton Prout added to his career high in points picking up a assist giving him 4 points with the Spirit and 25 overall. Brandon Archibald picked up no points and hasnt scored since January 17th when he had 2 assists. Dalton Smith and the Ottawa 67's sit comfortably in 2nd place in the Eastern Conference as the East Division leader, they would be 3rd but the OHL playoffs are the like the NHL in that Division leaders get the top 2 spots regardless of points. The 67's went 3-0 this week and have won 7 of 10 with Smith scoring a goal and adding another fight this week, Smith's goal was the game winner.
The Beanpot Final took place last night and boy was it a wild one the Boston College Eagles beat the Northeastern Huskies 7-6 in overtime, Atkinson had no points in the 2 games of the tournament. While in the team's game in between the Beanpot Atkinson scored his 21st goal of the season tying him with Miami's Reilly Smith for 6th in the country in 3 less games. As for Miami the Redhawks lost in a shootout and defeated Western Michigan. Trent Vogelhuber continued his strong play of late earning a goal and a assist on the weekend. Vogelhuber is on a 4 game point streak with a goal and 3 assists, Trent has 7 points in his last 10 games helping him set new career highs in assists and points. Will Weber picked up a assist and was even on the weekend, the assist was his first point since January 21 when he had 2. Thomas Larkin and Colgate defeated RPI in overtime then after leading 2-0 ended up losing 6-3 to ECAC leader Union. Thomas Larkin scored his defenseman leading 5th goal of the season and his first since December 11 against Niagra. Cornell had the same result as Colgate but did it backwards losing to Union but defeating RPI in overtime. Sean Collins and the Big Red were shutout by Union but on Saturday on the NHL Network Collins scored what the commentator called a goal scorers goal(DRINK!) putting it just under the crossbar for his 6th of the season. It was a rough Friday night in Orono, Maine as the Black Bears lost 7-2 to Vermont, for the first time at least that I know of a team used all 3 of its goaltenders. Blue Jackets Prospect Martin Ouelette may have got the worst of the Catamounts onslaught he didn't take the loss, in just over 35 minutes of action Ouelette made 7 saves on 11 shots. For Saturday night they turned to the best of the 3 the previous night(he stopped 1 of 1 in 10 minutes of action) meaning Ouelette didnt play.
Michigan swept Ohio State to keep pace in the CCHA standings sitting tied with Miami a point behind Notre Dame. The Blue Jackets prospects continued to struggle to find a place on the scoresheet. For Kevin Lynch I just hope he scores a point before the season ends, the Jackets 2nd round pick hasnt scored since November 22 when he scored 2 goals. As for Matt Rust it hasn't been as long but he's been stuck at 19 points since January 22nd when he scored a goal. Drew Olsen and Minnesota-Duluth dropped 2 spots in the polls as they tied and lost to St. Cloud State. Olsen did not score any points(if youve been reading this blog for awhile does it really shock you?) this weekend and finished with a even rating despite getting outscored 11-5 including a 8-2 loss Friday night. The highlight of the Jackets college prospects was in the Minnesota-Denver series, Friday night was boring just a 2-1 loss for the Golden Gophers. Saturday is when the fireworks went off, Jake Hansen was scoreless on Friday but picked up a assist in the Gophers 7-3 win over the Pioneers. Oh wait I forgot the true highlight Jake Hansen got into a fight against Denver freshman David Makowski, fighting in college hockey is very rare since it earns you a 1 game suspension. Now I'd love to know who runs the Minnesota hockey twitter account because when I asked if there was video anywhere they said and I quote "Not sure what you are talking about. There is no fighting in college hockey." No fighting, huh? I give you exhibit A
As for the Springfield Falcons they went 1-2 this week with David LeNeveu picking up the win. Kyle Wilson scored 5 points scoring 2 goals and 3 assists to lead the team in scoring for the week. Tom Sestito(0-4-4) and Maxim Mayorov(2-2-4) each picked up 4 points on the week. With Matt Calvert and John Moore up in Columbus rookie Tomas Kubalik's recent play has said to Scott Howson and Chris MacFarland what about me boss? Kubalik has scored 9 points in his last 10 games and has moved into a 5 way tie for the AHL rookie scoring lead(OSU product Zac Dalpe is in that group as well) being placed 2nd because of his 17 goals which is 3rd among rookies. Other Falcons with multiple points were Trevor Smith, Ben Guite, Trevor Friscmon and Mike Commodore(that's not a typo folks Commie had 2 assists-and I am joking a little by including him in this post). Nikita Filatov had a assist in his first action since mid-January.
As for next week there really isnt a highlight for next week other than that Saint John's next game which should be a Mathieu Corbeil start will be 12 straight which will be a new season high and clinch them the Maritimes Division. Thank you for reading as always and please follow @cbjprospects on twitter for the most(or as close as I can get updates on the future Jackets).

Town Square
Alamo Brawl
Original post made by John Tanner, Danville, on Aug 9, 2012
The twitter and gossip battle lines are in full frenzy regarding the brawl (punches thrown, alleged blunt force instrument used, hospital visits) among this years graduates of Monte Vista and De La Salle high schools, reported in the SRV Times as having occured in the late afternoon at an Alamo house. Police were dispatched, and investigations are looking closely at pre and post fight Twitter blasts. And the fallout is raging on in the gossip world with both sides to lay blame on the "other" school. It was an "A" list party no doubt! It will be interesting to see if this highly insular, party rowdy world of high schoolers will have the full force of the law smack them in the face. Their addictive use of twitter will now come back to bite them!

Outside of the pleasant surprise of an upwards tweak of its annual production guidance, Woodside's June quarterly confirms a company increasingly flush with cash and with intentions firmly set on the transition from local to global operator.
That is exactly the sort of growth we should expect given any sort of effective management of a suite of assets so materially boosted in 2012 by the 90 per cent owned Pluto liquefied natural gas project.
Mind you, while Pluto's drive to peak efficiency continues at a steady pace with production increasing 2.2 per cent over the quarter, shipments were 7.3 per cent lower because of timing issues.
This quarter's improvements were generated by improved prices for some of the Pluto product and by recovered oil production at the Vincent floating production platform, which returned to pumping supplies at the end of 2013 after a lengthy break for maintenance.
The numbers highlight how much the Pluto pricing reviews really matter to Woodside's financial outlook.
Pluto delivered two fewer cargoes through the June quarter than it did in the preceding March period. But those shipments generated just over 2 per cent higher sales revenue over the first half sales.
The revenue trend afoot is even more starkly illuminated by the year-on-year numbers. Pluto generated $591 million in sales from the 14 shipments it made through the June period this year. Back in 2013 the second quarter number was $US400 million from 13 shipments. So the project has delivered a 47 per cent increase is sales from an 8 per cent increase in gas sales.
Now, a near doubling of condensate shipments obviously contributed a good deal to that improvement. Nonetheless, the re-writing of Pluto's pricing is delivering material improvement to the project's underlying economics and just how much the dial has moved will become apparent later this year when this re-pricing is completed.
Woodside noted that only 27 per cent of the June numbers were drawn from re-priced contracts but that this would rise to 75 per cent over the current quarter.
As Woodside's revenue story starts to fully capture the step-change promised by Pluto, management has started to put real flesh to the strategic narrative that promises to transform Australia's gas company into a player of global significance.
Woodside's plans to fast-track this process by pumping $US2 billion in an Israeli LNG play that fully justifies its name - Leviathan - rather famously came to nought as the company could not come to terms with its government over a fiscal regime that fairly reflected the risk implicit in the deal.
But Woodside has been rather more successful at the grass roots exploration level, accumulating over the past year or so a broad portfolio of onshore and offshore gas and oil potential across a delightfully eclectic community of nations.
At the same time, the market fully expects that chief executive Peter Coleman will again attempt to fill his medium term radar with a growth opportunity of rather more maturity than any of the grass roots action he has recently signed up for.
And that is where Pluto's increasingly obvious power is going to come in very handy indeed.

Friday Memo: Sick coyote … Ferry birth fare … Jerramy Stevens
That sick coyote in the park: You may have heard about the ailing coyote that's roaming Volunteer Park in Seattle. Because the animal is looking kind of ill and it's close to people in the park, the federal wildlife folks plan to shoot it, according to KING5. People who have seen the critter say it's more weak than wily, looking ill, old and mangy, to quote KING's story.
Rain or showers through next Tuesday …
Carbon monoxide poisoning: Four people in Spokane Valley were taken to hospitals to be treated for carbon monoxide poisoning yesterday. Investigators are trying to find the source of the invisible gas. This may well be a faulty furnace or something similar, but it is that time of year to be reminded not to bring charcoal burning grills into your home for heat or to run generators inside either, because they produce the gas and it can be deadly.
Ticket please? How great it was that everyone came to the aid of the woman who went into labor and gave birth to a baby girl on board a state ferry yesterday. But did you hear that the financially strapped ferry system is asking the parents to pay the infant's fare. JUST KIDDING!
Jerramy Stevens: People can't seem to get enough of the woes of the former Husky and NFL player, so here's a link to the latest news.
Police-blotter news this morning:
Car crashes into house in Tacoma: This one's a doozy, and it's a surprise no one was hurt. The driver was running from the cops. At one point, he went the wrong way on I-5. Whoa. The family in the home wasn't hurt. After the crash, the driver was busted. Nice to have him off the road and in the slammer. There was a warrant out for his arrest.
Edmonds cops fight with three men in hotel: The officers were responding to a trespassing call and found the men in a stairwell. A fight ensued. One of the suspects dropped some drugs. One guy was arrested there. The two others were caught hiding in bushes nearby.

The chairman of the ACCC, Graeme Samuel, has moved to end one of the country's longest product liability cases, which was caused by a pair of gloves left sitting on a shop shelf for more than 18 months.
The case was discontinued after the world's leading rubber and synthetic glove maker, Ansell, reaffirmed undertakings to put warnings about latex allergy on all its household gloves sold in Australia.
No other country in the world requires warnings on domestic gloves.
"Today's result is a tribute to Graeme Samuel's pragmatic approach," Ansell chief executive Harry Boon said yesterday.
"We sat down with him in December and worked it through."
The origins of the case go back to before 1998, which is when Ansell agreed to put warning labels on its domestic gloves as well as its medical gloves.
Ansell did not do a simultaneous product withdrawal in 1998 and, 18 months later in a suburban Darwin shop, an ACCC inspector found some unlabelled gloves on the shelf.
In June 2001 the ACCC started action under section 52 of the Trade Practices Act for deceptive and misleading conduct. It was this action that was discontinued yesterday.
"The matter was settled without any admissions by Ansell or findings made by the court," Mr Samuel said yesterday.
He said other manufacturers were now labelling their household gloves too.
Meanwhile, in January 2000, the ACCC had started a product liability case under section 75AD of the act on behalf of a woman who alleged she had an allergic reaction to some Ansell household gloves.
The ACCC claimed that the then Pacific Dunlop was liable as it had sold gloves without warning labels before 1998 even though it had known about the potential of latex allergy from 1995.
The case never was heard, even though Ansell was keen to take it to court, Mr Boon said. Ansell's insurer decided to settle with the woman and avoid the legal costs.
Mr Boon said Ansell had rejected an ACCC request for Ansell to cover all its legal costs under the section 52 action but, as some gloves had been found without labels, Mr Boon said the company had made a contribution towards the costs.
"It is not a big number," he said last night.

Chaser bow out on a high
Chas Licciardello marked the occasion with a makeover to one side
of his body.
Photo: Supplied
Almost 1.5 million Australian viewers watched the controversial comedy group The Chaser's final stunts as they bowed out from television.
After three seasons, the last episode of the popular satire program The Chaser's War on Everything aired on the ABC on last night to an average national audience of 1.45 million.
Team member Chas Licciardello marked the occasion with a makeover to one side of his body. It included 34 Botox injections, eight Restylane lip injections, bleached hair and eyebrows, and four coats of spray tan.
The episode also featured a skit in which a person in a chicken suit slipped past security, and another testing how many times a passer-by was prepared to take a group photo.
The show ended with a montage of the group making peace with some of the people they've harassed over the years, including former prime minister John Howard, A Current Affair's Tracy Grimshaw and Opposition Leader Malcolm Turnbull.
Since premiering in 2006, The Chaser's War on Everything - fronted by Licciardello, Chris Taylor, Julian Morrow, Craig Reucassel and Andrew Hansen - has regularly pulled in more than a million viewers for the public broadcaster.
This year, though, the ratings failed to reach the highs of 2007.
The program's best audience, of over 2.3 million, was achieved in 2007 when the group infamously breached security with a fake motorcade during the APEC summit in Sydney.
The gang had a year off in 2008, and this year there were just eight episodes after they were suspended for two episodes over a skit that poked fun at terminally ill children.
Licciardello - twice arrested by police over stunts during the series - said they had bowed out at the right time.
"We just thought we'd push it a bit further with the overseas pieces, and thought that might be a good note to go out," Licciardello told AAP.
"And I think the rest of Australia agrees, let's just end it there."
Licciardello said they planned to keep working together.
"We could be doing anything - it could be TV, it could be radio, it could be film, maybe we'll just be a team of Squeegees on an intersection," he said.
"But wherever we will be I'm sure it will be as a team, because we know we're on to a good thing."

The Film Mystery HTML version
27. The Film Fire
The bag lay open at my feet. The microscope and other paraphernalia brought by
Kennedy were untouched. Taking the film from Mackay and placing the can in with the
other things, Kennedy snapped the catch and turned to me as he straightened.
"I think our evidence is safest in plain sight, Walter. We'll carry it about with us."
Lloyd Manton seemed to be a genuinely unhappy individual. After some moments he
excused himself, nervously anxious about the turn of affairs at the studio. Immediately I
faced Kennedy and Mackay.
"Manton's the only one who knew just where we put the bag," I remarked. "When he left
us in the basement he had plenty of time to run up and steal the towel and return."
"How about the itching salve?"
"In his hurry he might have left the towel in the paper, intending to destroy it later."
Kennedy frowned. "That's possible, Walter. I had not thought of that. Still"--he
brightened--"I'm counting on human nature. I don't believe anyone guilty of the crime
could have that towel in his possession, after the hints I have thrown out, without
examining it so as to see what telltale mark or stain would be apt to betray his identity."
"You can see that Manton's the logical man?"
"It would be easy for anyone else to follow and observe us."
"First of all we must keep an eye out for any person showing signs of the itching
concoction. We must observe anyone with noticeably clean hands. Principally, however,
another thing worries me."
"What's that, Mr. Kennedy?" asked Mackay.
"Walter and I found a cigarette case belonging to Jack Gordon in the basement; also a
butt smoked three-quarters of the way down and left directly in the negative room. The
fire doors between the different film vaults, which are arranged like the safety
compartments in a ship, were all open. I want to know why Gordon was down there and--
well, I seem to sense something wrong."
"Good heavens! Craig," I interposed. "You don't attach any importance to the fact that
those doors were open!"

I mostly bought this for the Feed bag, which is adorable. My favorite products are the nail polish remover and Alima lipstick. The remover is super effective and the lipstick is smooth and chocolatey. Lipstick is very soft and gets melty in moderate heat. The charcoal cleanser dried me out too much but I have pretty normal skin. The W3ll people pencil is great too.5

<< Menu Tasting Courtesy of MB Post >>
Chef Lefevre helmed Water Grill, Downtown LA's pantheon of seafood, for 6 years. That is an eternity in LA. Somehow, David Lefevre was able to get a restaurant opened, on time, a mere 6 months after departing DTLA. Chalk it up to that engineering degree? . It has been mentioned the chef/owner had industry (and local assistance), though one can't but conclude think this man is a bit of a genius.
First, witness the attention to details in the room, both exterior and in — the restaurant feels comfortable, even quaint, but holds 100. Found object decorations evokes a vintage, pre-gentrification Manhattan Beach, yet doesn't betray the globally inspired cuisine. Despite the wood paneling throughout, the main dining room doesn't feel cramped, and is rather cacophonous. This does not feel/look like a restaurant built within a post office.
Though Water Grill is predominantly a house of seafood, do not come to MB Post expecting geoduck and ebi with haute presentation. Come here to eat your veggies, gloriously seasonal (excavated from that nearly farmers market no doubt), unpureed bounties of the earth with amazing palette. This is the "marinaded" cucumber. Its colors are clearly evocative of a salad-e shirazi salad which makes this the most under described dish of any gastropub in Los Angeles county. Here are the "blistered" green beans. Chinese folks will no doubt call this dish Chinese (soy, chili sauce, Thai basil), but please don't start mouthing off and insist there is some magical invisible lemon in the beans. The chef may eventually come out and announce the presence of lime zest in the Staub, but by then that table full of food blogging mates will have lost their patience with you. The beans were fantastic, lemon'd or lime'd.
The charcuterie, cheese & condiment boards pictured in the gallery aren't typical unless you're ordering OOE (one of everything), and really, they should come after the greens lest the subtle flavors of the pomegranate cous cous are lost in between slices of La Quercia prosciutto and Creminelli salami. Better, then, to pair the fantastic veg section with the "Pass The Bread" (bacon cheddar buttermilk biscuit, fleur de sel pretzel, cumin naan) and perhaps complement that with the honey selection. While Thai folks may prefer egg on top of every stir fry, honey is a much healthier, more complex condiment. If someone at the table insists on gorging on pork protein, balance the fat with the fantastic pickles.
No doubt the buttermilk fried chicken will be a best seller here in Manhattan Beach, but for the sake of low LDL, let's steer towards to the seafood. Here, seasoned veterans of Asian cuisine will again find home in the "tai snapper" (redundantly Japanese), and the green curry green mussels seems more fitting at A-Frame, but whatever, this is bargain Fish Sauced Water Grill menu with no valet parking.
Parting curated pictures — to the left: the fantastic 3 point strawberry rhubarb tart with the even better, and somewhat fascinating, panna cotta. To the right, that's the third time in a month young cilantro + flowers showed up here in LA. Cilantro is the new chipotle.

Ben Jukich and Josh Ravin both were within 3 votes of eachother. Vote for the one you think is the best prospect at #38 for the Reds.
Ben Jukich and Josh Ravin both were within 3 votes of eachother. Vote for the one you think is the best prospect at #38 for the Reds.
Ravin can have all the potential in the world but he had an 8.51 ERA last year in Billings.
I'm giving an enthusiastic vote to Jukich here.
I went with Ravin. Stuff wise, its not even close. Give me a struggling 19 year old in rookie ball with explosive stuff over a 24 year old in High A with a good curveball and little else.
I can't bring myself to vote for anyone with an ERA over 8.
I'm going with Ravin, in hopes that his ERA was decieving.
-LTlabnerIf you can't build a winning team with that core a fire-sale isn't the solution. Selling the franchise, moving them to Nashville and converting GABP into a used car lot is.
Ravin has potential, I will give him that. But consider the following:
Ravin is now going to be in his 3rd year of pro ball but turned only 20 in January. Still very young, but he also will likely be in his 3rd straight year of rookie ball. Here's hoping his struggles last year were only last year.
Jukich is also going into his 3rd year of pro ball and impressed last year coming over from the A's. He had an impressive H/9 and K/9 in A+ last year and will start the year in AA. He may be getting a bit older (24) but with another good year he could open some more eyes.

I can't believe these two are in a runoff, especially with Rafael Gonzalez and Valiquette still on the board. Both are better that Ravin and Jukich!!!
I went with Jukich because, unlike Ravin, he didn't throw 41 walks in 40 innings last year.

Palm shareholders approve merger with HP?
This article contains unofficial information.
A forum poster over at Pre Central claims to have had a conversation with Palm VP of Investor Relations, Teri Klein. Based on speculation that Palm shareholders have approved the merger with Hewlett Packard, the following things are expected to take place. Palm's assets will join with HP's iPaq unit to form a smartphone manufacturing company that will be led by Palm's Jon Rubinstein. The deal is expected to close in the first week of July and there is plenty of excitement over at Palm for webOS 2.0 and new devices which are being developed. Palm's current lineup is selling slowly. Verizon ordered 1 million units at launch and has not re-ordered this quarter. The Palm executive also noted that AT&T's training with the Palm Pre and Pixi Plus was smoother than the training with Verizon reps. We're not so sure that this is why the webOS devices aren't selling too well at Big Red as the carrier's focus on Android would seem to be more a more accurate reason why the Pre Plus and Pixi Plus are collecting dust at Verizon.. Regardless, the combination of Palm and HP should be able to come up with a combination of software and hardware that will make the industry stand up and take notice.

"We're not so sure that this is why the webOS devices aren't selling too well at Big Red as the carrier's focus on Android would seem to be more a more accurate reason why the Pre Plus and Pixi Plus are collecting dust at Verizon." In that sentence is the reason why the PALM phones are not selling - ANDROID - the other, more bigger reason, is IPHONE, and yet, still, another reason is .....Blackberry.

iPhone...? Really? That doesn't make any sense at all. Palms aren't selling that well because their devices cannot compete with the android handsets within Verizons lineup. Period. What you are saying is like everyone that would buy a palm on verizon is changing their minds and getting the iphone instead on AT&T. Thats just stupid. If people are not buying other phones and just buying the iphone, then that would affect Verizon as a whole. Not just its profits on palm devices for verizon. And the article only mentions how palms devices aren't selling well on Verizon. Nothing about AT&T except that "AT&T's training with the Palm Pre and Pixi Plus was smoother than the training with Verizon reps." Whatever that even means.

First Palm blames Sprint, saying the Pre would have done better if not for the 6 months exclusivity. Now it's VZW's fault as to why no one wants to buy your second rate phones. Training had nothing to do with it. You guys didn't make people want this phone, your marketing sucked. Check out this Pre commercial at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v
=3Hk8IzdwYEA. And now check out this Droid commercial at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =o9fXYQjwR0w. Now which one peaks your interest more? Let's see if there are any other possible reasons for Palm's colossal failures. The Pre is a pebble shaped phone with a slid out keyboard with small keys, a small touch screen, no landscape keyboard, a 3 mp camera, lack luster UI, no expandable memory, launched with virtually nothing in the app catalog, and that's their flagship device. We won't even talk about the Pixi, the name alone was a joke! Maybe you should stop passing the buck and make a phone people would want to buy. Then market that phone the way Motorola and Apple marketed the Droid and the iPhone. I remember those commercials, they made people want to buy these phones. Let see what they say when the Pre doesn't sell on Att either.

I think Palm could really carve a name for themselves with more devices like the Pixi and the Pre. Landscape qwerty's are not everyone's cup of tea, and both the Pixi and the Pre were sexy devices. The problem is...they're old and tired. If Palm outfits their phones with big ass batteries, and beefs up their specs, then I honestly think they could have a winner here. They could be known as workhorse phones that can get down with apps too and enjoy touch screen fun. That line between androids and blackberries. You can stay connected to the internet, and get your push email, with a phone that won't make you feel like a teenager or a stodgy businessman paying $30 for a data plan that just gets you instant email. Palm has a good shot at grabbing a nice piece of the market share. A Pixi (with a different name), all black, more high end materials and feel with a 5mp camera, a 1500mah battery, same size screen, just higher resolution and OLED, and at least 800 mhz processor would be a really intriguing phone for a lot of people. Palm could also have commercials of a bunch of uber phone users not having any battery life, or running to chargers to use features on their phone that Palm users have too. Palm...it works...and it plays. Palm: because it's YOUR cake, you should be able to eat it too. Or something like that.

Temporal and Spatial Dynamics of Diel-Cycling Hypoxia in Estuarine Tributaries

The distribution and intensity of hypoxia (low dissolved oxygen) in estuaries is increasing worldwide due to cultural eutrophication. This study quantifies the strength of associations between the duration of diel-cycling severe hypoxia (≤2 mg O2 l−1) in bottom water (∼15 cm above bottom) of a shallow (<2 m) coastal lagoon estuary (Delaware, USA) and abiotic environmental variables (water temperature, insolation, tide, streamflow, and wind) and predicts the duration of severe hypoxia given different combinations of these variables. The intensity and spatial extent and dynamics of diel-cycling severe hypoxia events were defined. Vertical variability in dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration during the daytime was also determined. During the summers of 2001–2005, bottom DO data were collected for periods of weeks to months at multiple sites using automated sondes. Multiple linear regression (MLR) and regression tree analysis (RTA) were used to determine the relative importance of the environmental variables in predicting the number of hours of severe hypoxia per day. Key findings of the study were that severe hypoxia events of minutes to hours in duration occurred frequently in all four tributaries sampled, primarily between 0200 and 1000 hours. Severe hypoxia duration and diel-cycling amplitudes of DO concentration increased in the up-tributary direction. Hierarchically, the duration of severe hypoxia was influenced mostly by the mean daily water temperature, then by preceding days' total insolation, percentage of morning hours (02:00 to 10:00 a.m.) ebb tide, and daily streamflow. Collectively, the variables examined by the MLR and the RTA approaches accounted for 62% and 65% of the variability in the duration of severe hypoxia, respectively. RTA demonstrated that daily mean water temperature above 26.3°C and previous day's total insolation below 13.6 kW m−2 were associated with the longest lasting severe hypoxic events (9.56 h). The environmental variables and combinations of conditions that modulate or augment diel-cycling hypoxia presented in this paper enhance understanding of this widespread and growing phenomenon and provide additional insight regarding the extent to which it can impact food webs in very shallow estuarine waters that often serve as nursery habitat.

Sunday's Red Sox-Twins matchups: Franklin Morales vs. Nick Blackburn
|08.05.12 at 9:20 am ET
In an attempt by the Red Sox to salvage one win against the Twins, Franklin Morales will take the hill against Nick Blackburn on Sunday afternoon at Fenway Park.
Morales will start in place of Josh Beckett, whose next start has been pushed to Wednesday after he left his last start with a back spasm. Morales made five starts earlier this season before being pushed to the bullpen, but whether pitching in relief or in a starter's role, the left-hander has been one of the more reliable arms on the Red Sox pitching staff this season. In 57 innings, Morales is 2-2 with a 3.32 ERA and 60 strikeouts, which already is a career high for him.
Morales' last start came on July 13, when he picked up the win in a 3-1 victory over the Rays, pitching five shutout innings, scattering two hits and punching out five despite allowing three walks. After that start, however, manager Bobby Valentine opted to abandon the six-man rotation the Red Sox had been utilizing and pushed Morales back to the bullpen. Morales has since made five appearances, which included, most recently, his 11th career save in a rain-shortened, six-inning affair against the Tigers on Tuesday, when he allowed a hit and a walk in one-third of an inning.
Beckett's latest injury offers an opportunity for Morales to return to the rotation, where he succeeded in spot starting duties after Beckett went down with shoulder inflammation in June. In those five starts he made, Morales posted a 2-1 record, a 3.42 ERA and 31 strikeouts. The Red Sox were 3-2 overall in his starts.
Morales has logged only 3 2/3 innings against the Twins in his career, including 1 1/3 innings in two appearances in April when the Red Sox and Twins met in Minnesota. He'll go up against Blackburn, who has struggled for the most part this season, but is recently coming off one of his best start of the year.
After a miserable outing on July 25 against the White Sox, allowing eight earned runs on 10 hits in 4 1/3 innings, Blackburn came back with a stronger performance in his second chance against the White Sox on Tuesday. In eight innings, he allowed just five hits and two earned runs with two strikeouts.
That start, however, is not indicative of how Blackburn's season has gone. The 30-year-old right-hander is 4-6 with a 7.43 ERA this season, which includes 11 starts in which he has given up at least four earned runs. With the exception of his last start, Blackburn has gone longer than six innings just once, and he has given up at least one run in each of his starts this season.
In six career starts against the Red Sox, Blackburn is 2-2 with a 4.17 ERA. He last played them on April 24, when he lasted just three innings as he gave up five runs on three hits in an 11-2 loss.

New for the 2010-2011 Season:
Saddleback has expanded the PEAK (Promoting Education and Activity for Kids) Pass to all New England Honor Students. Honor roll students in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont are now eligible to purchase a season pass for only $99.00. Maine honor roll students can purchase a PEAK pass for just $59.00.
Additional trails have been cut in Casablanca, part of the largest self-contained steep skiing and riding area in the East. The Casablanca chutes are accessed by the Kennebago Quad and Saddleback has expanded the landing zone at the top of the Quad to create more room for people admiring the panoramic views of Western Maine Mountains and Lakes.
Getting to Saddleback has become easier, too: recent road improvements on Maine's Route 4 have decreased drive times from Farmington to Rangeley by 20%.
Other Recent Improvements:
The Hornberg trail (green circle) is a new, easier trail in the South Branch beginner/family area that provides access to ski-in/ski-out trails from the South Branch and Mountain Brook condominiums.
Kennebago Quad Chairlift
The Kennebago Quad is a Dopplemayr quad chairlift that has replaced the Kennebago T-bar, and services 15 trails and glades. The new chair provides easy and faster access to the spectacular high-elevation advanced terrain with incredible views of the lakes and Western Maine Mountains.
In 2009, we built a yurt at the base of the Kennebago Quad lift, called Kennebago Station, where skiers and riders can warm up and refuel , offering hot and cold beverages, soups, chowders, sandwiches and snacks, and it is equipped with heat, power and composting toilets. A yurt has a very low impact on the environment and provides a cozy place to relax on the Mountain.
Kennebago Steeps !
The Kennebago Steeps! is the largest steep skiing and riding facility in the East, with 12 trails and glades including the Casablanca chutes. These are top to bottom black diamond and double black diamond runs with no mixing with lower level trails. The Kennebago Steeps is serviced the Kennebago Quad chairlift. Adjacent to the lift at the base of the Casablanca glade is Kennebago Station restaurant. In 2009, Black Beauty, Frost Bite and Artula (black diamond) were all added off the new Kennebago Quad Chair.
More Grooming
In 2010, two new Pisten Bully Snow Groomers were added to the mountain's arsenal of machines to make the Saddleback snow surface better than ever!
Rental and Retail Shops
Saddleback operates a full-service rental shop and retail store in the base lodge. In 2010, we added an auxiliary retail shop on the first floor across from the ticket office. The rental shop offers numerous rental skis, boards, boots, bindings and poles. The retail shop is your source for clothing and accessories for all your Mountain needs.
Saddleback Realty:
Saddleback has ski-in/ski-out condos available!
South Branch developments:

Funding 'Tsunami' Could Fuel Renewables Consolidation
The wind sector is ripe for consolidation, faced as it is with logistical, physical, planning and financing headwinds, combined with supply chain constraints and project delays.
For opportunistic buyers with capital to deploy, such as private equity, it's time to buy on the cheap and sell out in five years' time. Uncertainty about funding necessary capex is a likely major reason behind depressed valuations in the sector at present.
"The energy sector has received a shock because of the contraction of the public purse," Julian Critchlow, who is head of Bain & Company's U.K./Europe utilities practice, told Dow Jones Investment Banker.
"There's less money flowing and governments are more sensitive, trying to combine a long-term vision with short-term agendas," he said. "And yet there is a huge tsunami of investment needed."
Just how huge is this tsunami? The estimated $1.7 trillion in capex needed globally for energy infrastructure between 2010 and 2050 includes $500 billion in incremental investment for renewables and low-emission power-generation assets, says Mr. Critchlow.

Branches of Government
The Founding Fathers, the framers of the Constitution, wanted to form a government that did not allow one person to have too much authority or control. While under the rule of the British king they learned that this could be a bad system. Yet government under the Articles of Confederation taught them that there was a need for a strong centralized government.
With this in mind the framers wrote the Constitution to provide for a separation of powers, or three separate branches of government. Each has its own responsibilities and at the same time they work together to make the country run smoothly and to assure that the rights of citizens are not ignored or disallowed. This is done through checks and balances. A branch may use its powers to check the powers of the other two in order to maintain a balance of power among the three branches of government.
The three branches of the U.S. Government are:

Fairview will face Lacassine tonight in the Class B state basketball tournament at Burton Coliseum. (Rick Hickman / American Press Archives)
Last Modified: Friday, March 07, 2014 12:44 PM
By Albert Burford / American PressThe road to the Class B girls basketball state championship has gone through Fairview for the last eight years.
The latest threat to the Panthers' throne comes from Lacassine (35-1), the same team Fairview (42-1) beat in last year's final.
In Jeremy Hollier's first season as the head coach at Lacassine, he wasted no time in getting the Cardinals to once again challenge for a title.
"We've worked all year for this," Hollier said. "I knew that was the expectation with the girls and in the community. That's what we do around here. To make it there is nice, but we want to be there and win the whole thing. We don't want to be satisfied with just being there."
Lacassine entered the tournament as the No. 3 seed and knocked off No. 2 seed Stanley in the semifinals. Stanley owned a 42-0 record entering that game.
The prolific Fairview offense has put up numbers more suiting of an NBA team than a high school basketball team, with five players averaging double-digit scoring. The Panthers have scored 87 points or more in each of their four playoff games.
"The biggest thing is we can't get it in their mind that we're going to be able to stop them," Hollier said. "We're going to have to do our best to make it tough for them. The only way to stop them would be for their bus to get a flat tire."
Hollier said Fairview's Maghan Cooley, who averages 19 points and 10 assists per game, is like a young Steve Nash when she gets into the lane, draws in the defense and kicks the ball out.
Fairview's Katie Lemieux, who like Cooley, will be playing for her sixth state championship ring, also averages a double-double at 20 points and 12 rebounds per game.
Lacassine has its own weapons in guard Madyson Brasseaux, who averages 18 points, nine rebounds and five assists per game and Abbie Melanson, who commands the paint with 15 points and eight rebounds per game.
Fairview coach Kyle Jinks said he can't key in on one or two Cardinals.
"They push the ball up the floor really well," he said. "Their press is effective. They force you to play fast. The teams that have given us the most trouble this year are teams that play a lot like they play."
Even though Friday will be Fairview's ninth consecutive finals appearance and give the Panthers a chance for its eighth straight state title, Jinks said it's different and exciting every time.
"I can't really focus on eight championships," he said. "This is some of the girls' last season and I want to win this for them. We're focused on one game, not what's happened in the past."
In Class C, top-seeded Hackberry (30-4) will play for a state title for the first time since its 2004 championship win.
The Mustangs have never lost a state championship game, going 4-0 in their appearances.
First-year coach Jay Bergeron will look to keep that streak alive against No. 3 seed Summerfield (20-12), which topped Elizabeth in the semifinals.
The experienced Mustangs are led by senior center Destiny Simon with 21.6 points and eight rebounds per game. Guard and fellow senior Jolie Trahan controls the offensive flow for Hackberry, scoring 11.3 points per game while dishing out an average of 6.83 assists.
Hackberry tips off at 4 p.m. at Burton Coliseum and Fairview and Lacassine will follow at 6 p.m.

Title: Fairview After 8th Straight Title
Great article! Go Fairview! Win it all again! In 1953 when I played for Fairview we had the same 42-1 record, but wound up losing at State. But it seems you have a much better team. 7 CONSECUTIVE titles is just unheard of! So proud of you. Let's make it 8. We are pulling for you in Bossier City! Go Panthers!

'Dogs Head North for Cal Classic
Feb. 22, 2013
By Elly Walker
By Elly Walker
FRESNO, Calif. --The Fresno State women's golf team will play in its second tournament of the spring season, the Cal Classic, in Pleasanton, Calif. on Feb. 25-26.
"We are really excited about heading up to Cal this weekend," head coach Angie Cates-Moore said. "Stanford was a good experience for us last week. Overall we know we can do a better job during tournaments at keeping our focus on our routines and the process. Our goal is to improve on that this week."
The two-day Cal Classic is held on the 18-hole, par-72, 6230-yard Ruby Hill Golf Club in the East Bay area among the hills of the historic Livermore Valley.
The Bulldogs' lineup includes Shaylee Yano, Hannah Sodersten, Madchen Ly, Hillary Billingsley, and Christine Uhalde.
"The team put up some great scores this week during practice and they know they're prepared," Cates-Moore said. "Now it's just a matter of being aware of extra stress or tension when they are competing and keeping it in check. They have the tools to manage that and we're all looking forward to some more competition."

The upper level for calcium has been set at 2,500 milligrams daily to avoid hypercalcemia (hyper = too much; calcemia = calcium in the blood) or too much calcium in the blood, subsequent impaired kidneys, and calcium deposits in the body.
Too much dietary calcium can also cause constipation and interfere with the absorption of other minerals, such as iron, zinc, magnesium, and phosphorus. If your diet is inadequate in calcium, a supplement may be necessary, but be careful not to consume too much.
You should speak with a registered dietitian to determine IF and HOW MUCH of a supplement you should take. You can find a registered dietitian at:www.eatright.org.

Lily Allen wants to have a baby within a year

However, the singer has confessed that there's another reason for her break from pop - she wants to make babies with her boyfriend Sam Cooper. "I'd like to have a child within a year. It'll be a minimum of four or five years before I make a record again. I know what commitment it takes to release an album. I don't think that mixes well with the idea of settling down and having children, which is ultimately my goal and more of a priority than flying around the world," the Daily Star quoted her as telling the News of the World.
"I'd want to be really hands-on for the first two or three years of having a little one. I don't want to leave them," she added.

Student Fashion: Decoding Office Style for the Conservative Workplace
By Jenn Bussell
Wrapping up a consulting project last Friday I found myself engaged in a fashion-related conversation that had my mind spinning. A friend of my client's had just started a new job with a mortgage company and found herself on the receiving end of office demerits because she was not dressing to code. Yes, folks, you read that right: Demerits for inappropriate outfits. After picking up my jaw from the floor, I chuckled. This was a joke, right? Those places don't still exist…do they? My client informed me her normally sassy and stylish friend had mistakenly walked back into the 1960s and was handed a printed Code of Conduct complete with instructions on what was deemed office appropriate. For women, their skirts have to be a minimum of two inches below the knee. Arms must be covered at all times. Cleavage-bearing tops are tantamount to an NC-17 movie.
While no real punishments are doled out for sartorial insubordination at this particular company, being condemned as the office Jezebel has damaging effects on the psyche, not to mention one's work performance and advancement potential. So this week's decoding office style focuses on successfully navigating the conservative workplace. Think accounting firms, brokerage houses, and some banking institutions.
When is comes to the art of conservative style that is both classic and on trend there is no better role model for a young professional than the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton.
As seen last Thursday with Queen Elizabeth's heading out on the Queen's Diamond Jubilee tour of the U.K., Kate is the model of modesty. Yet she comes off looking polished and smart, not prim and stiff. Her color choice of teal is on point for Spring 2012; her peplum jacket is the season's style star.
Not to be overlooked Queen Elizabeth herself is rocking a rich royal pink that also happens to be one of the colors according to Pantone's Spring 2012 color trend report – Cabaret. Pared with basic black, the Queen's tailored coat and fashion-forward headwear keep her feet firmly planted in the 21st century.
Let's take inspiration from these modern monarchs and just say 'no' to twinsets and pearls and 'yes' to re-interpreting conservative classicism in a fresh new way – all while still towing the conservative company's apparel line. As shown in the style sheet below, bow to the office queen of code by keeping things covered up with a chic striped cardigan atop a crisp white top and pink Capri pants. Black patent accessories lend an air of sophistication, while a colorful oversized watch ensures this look doesn't take itself too seriously.
Be great like Kate in a fitted, cap-sleeved teal sheath that hits below the knee. Top it with a proper blazer and classic accessories that will easily take you from day to night in style. Feeling cheeky? Don a fab fascinator like this one from ASOS. But don't be surprised if the paparazzi start mistaking you for a Middleton.

text: I have had a 2011 SRX luxury model on lease for approx. one year. About two months ago I started hearing a little rattle which seemed to be toward the the back of the car. I checked to be sure there was not some item in the trunk that was not secured and all was fine. Nothing in terms of trim, tailpipes, gas lid, etc. seems to be loose. I hear the noise usually if I hit a rough spot in the road or on my city's brick streets and occasionally on smooth roads. I can't describe the noise, it's not a "clunk", it's not very loud and the noise seems to happen only once at a time as opposed to continuously. Any ideas?

Mos Def and Talib Kweli Are Black Star
Mos Def, Talib Kweli
An Antidote to Bling Culture
Of the many changes that roiled hip-hop after the violent deaths of Tupac Shakur and the Notorious B.I.G., the most dismaying was the rapid rise of bling culture. MCs and entrepreneurs like Sean Combs (then known as Puff Daddy) who'd been affected by those murders began aggressively name-checking brands of expensive Champagne and luxury cars, as though living large was the best way to escape the genre's multiplying tragedies. One could argue that this wave of narcissistic materialism contributed to the general erosion of persuasive wordplay: Where Tupac's raps, for example, waxed philosophical, the third-generation gangster like 50 Cent seized exclusively on the bullying gunplay.
Not everyone rolled that way. The New York–based Native Tongues collective, which spawned A Tribe Called Quest and others in the 1980s, promoted alternatives to the prevailing gangsta-rap viewpoints. This 1998 album, the only collaboration between agile thinkers Mos Def and Talib Kweli, is among the best.
They arrive at the microphone bursting with ideas—about the meaning of blackness ("black like the planet that they fear, why they scared?"), about the decline of the rhyming art ("some people think MC is shorthand for misconception"), about the rampant spread of violence ("Hater Players"). But they don't overwhelm listeners with verbiage. The thirteen tracks on this debut, named after the shipping line run by the Universal Negro Improvement Association founder Marcus Garvey, work first as music—the DJ Hi-Tek creates deep rhythmic pockets and thick atmospheres, and the two MCs just saunter through them. Those looking for polyrhythmic slice-and-dice rapping spiked with sticky melodic refrains (and narratives that don't involve loaded firearms) will find much to admire here.
Genre: Hip-Hop
Released: 1998, Rawkus
Key Tracks: "Astronomy (Eighth Light)," "Definition," "Brown Skin Lady," "K.O.S. (Determination)"

Prior to Mos Def becoming a (good!) actor, he Talib, & Hi Tek (dj) put out one of the best hip hop albums ever. in the world of gangsta rap it was such a breath of fresh air to hear something positive besides A Tribe Called Quest (which are also great). Thanks for putting a very underrated CD on the list.Commenting is not available in this content area entry.
