Nava completes long journey to majors
|06.12.10 at 4:32 pm ET
(Update: Daniel Nava became the fourth player in major league history to hit a grand slam in his first major league at-bat, hitting the home run in the second inning of the Red Sox' Saturday afternoon game against the Phillies against Joe Blanton. Click here for more.)
When the Red Sox announced that they would option outfielder Josh Reddick, a well-known prospect who has some experience at the big-league level, back down to Triple-A Pawtucket Saturday, many Sox followers were left scratching their heads as to who would be called up to replace Reddick on the 25-man roster. Jonathan Van Every perhaps? No, he was traded to the Pirates on May 31. Was there going to be another trade? That didn't appear imminent.
Finally, reports came out that the Sox were going to call up 27-year-old outfielder Daniel Nava, and one more question arose: Daniel Nava, who?
Nava has been facing those kinds of doubts for literally his entire baseball career. As a 4-foot-8, 70-pound freshman in high school, Nava struggled to get any playing time because of his size.
'I really was 70 pounds. I couldn't go on the rides at the theme parks, I was so small,' Nava said. 'That kid could barely swing a 32-inch bat so I don't think he was thinking about the big leagues or anything like that.'
He eventually grew to 5-foot-5 by his senior year, earning an All-League honorable mention that season, but no colleges came calling and he tried to walk on at Santa Clara University. But because of his still small frame, Nava was told instead to consider a move in coaching and therefore he moved to a spot as team manager, where he did laundry, helped with equipment, basically did anything he could to stay around the team. It appeared his playing days were numbered.
Then, a seemingly miraculous growth spurt caused him again to shift course, and he moved to the junior college ranks at College of San Mateo after his family could no longer afford the expenses of a private four-year school.
'Unfortunately, we just couldn't afford it,' Nava said. 'It was just getting too expensive for us. We had no other options.'
However, he flourished in JuCo, earning both All-Conference and Junior College All-American accolades in his two seasons. Nava returned to Santa Clara, this time on scholarship, and surprised his former coaches by leading the West Coast Conference in batting average and OBP with statistics of .395 and .494 in each respective category.
Still, there were doubters as no major-league clubs came calling in the following draft, and none were willing to sign him as a free agent. He was even cut by the Chico Outlaws of the independent Golden Baseball League before they eventually called him back after absent players left holes in the roster. Again, Nava made the most of his opportunity by hitting .371 and was named the Best Indepefndent League Prospect by Baseball America after just the one season.
That assuredly would garner some interest from the big leagues, but at first, things weren't looking good again for Nava. The Blue Jays had previously left after seeing Nava in a tryout without offering him a contract before the accolades began to roll in. Finally, the Red Sox and Cubs expressed interest in the low-risk, potentially high-reward player after reading the piece in Baseball America, and Nava eventually took his first shot at minor-league baseball in the Red Sox system.
So far in his two-plus seasons down on the farm, the switch-hitting Nava has produced some eye-popping numbers. He hit .341 with 10 home runs and 59 RBI in 85 games at Single-A Lancaster in 2008 and continued his impressive hitting by accruing an average of .364 in 32 games in Double-A Portland last season after a mid-season call up.
But the knocks kept coming. After entering the Sox system at the prime age of 25, many chalked Nava's impressive hitting up to his age; he was just an older player in the prime of his career dominating younger, less-experienced pitching. Basbeball America didn't list him as a top prospect in the Sox system, and the popular website Soxprospects.com listed him as a 'post-prospect.'
Nava continued his ascent of the Sox system by playing at Triple-A Pawtucket, and in yet another chance to silence his critics, he has again performed admirably. Before his Saturday call-up, he led the PawSox in every major offensive category: average (.294), home runs (8), RBI (38), hits (58) and runs (28).
Then, when he finally got the notice that he would be starting in left field Saturday afternoon for the Boston Red Sox, Nava didn't know immediately what to say or do. 'It's obviously a dream come true. I was telling my friends, 'Sorry guys if I don't know what to say because I'm kind of speechless.' The whole thing happened so fast. I'm trying to learn what to do, where to go.'
Ironically, this will not be his first time on a big-league ballfield. He participated in the Futures of Fenway game last season for Portland and actually won a contest to throw out the first pitch at an Oakland game when he was nine.
'I actually didn't want to do it when I was younger. I was so scared,' Nava said. 'I honestly think I was more nervous then. Playing ball and doing all that stuff, I don't think I'm as nervous now. It was a good experience.'
Now when he takes the field as an actual major leaguer, he finally has the chance to prove he can hit with the big boys of the majors, but at this point, Nava isn't worried about just proving anything about himself. His goals are more team-oriented at this big moment in his career.
'It's going to be a great thrill,' Nava said. 'I'm not going to say it's not. I'm just trying to do one thing at a time and not look too much into the future about what's going to happen. Just here to help the guys win. Keeping it nice and simple.'
When Nava finally takes the field wearing a major-league uniform, his miraculous ascent, from a tiny high-school freshman to college team manager to independent league dropout to Red Sox minor leaguer to major league ballplayer, will finally be complete.

New Hampshire GOP Debate: The Likely Zinger Questions
»» Join It's A Free Country Tonight at 8pm for a Live Online Chat as You Watch The Debate
After months of spring games and fan meet-and-greets, today is Opening Day in New Hampshire. Seven Republican contenders are facing off tonight in the first primary debate in this first primary state.
And in case you've been distracted by contests that are actually consequential at this point, like the Sox and the Yankees for example, here's a guide to the curveballs CNN's John King is likely to throw out.
Mitt Romney: Wait, what's your position on the auto bailout again?
Romney's homecoming to Michigan last week was not really a warm one, if the shouts of "you were wrong!" are any indication. The son of a Michigan governor and car executive, Romney was outspoken in his opposition to the bailout in 2008. Now Obama's former car czar Steven Rattner says he's trying to misrepresent his previous position, and Politifact also called out Romney last week for saying only a "a small share" of the auto bailout funds have been repaid. In fact, it's closer to roughly half.
Tim Pawlenty: Aren't you at least partly responsible for Minnesota's current budget woes?
Pawlenty governed Minnesota for two terms on a platform of cutting spending and blocking the Democratic legislature's attempts to raise taxes. But now, the state faces a massive budget shortfall, which has led some Minnesotans to question whether his budget maneuvers were really all that prudent. Pawlenty has repeatedly answered criticism of his fiscal legacy, countering that "autopilot" spending increases are to blame, but look for the question to come up again.
Herman Cain: Nevermind the 'experts,' what's your position on Afghanistan?
Cain punted on the Afghanistan question during the first Republican debate in South Carolina, saying he would rely on "the experts and their advice and their input." After some encouraging polls and media pickup (including this Washington Post profile that concludes his momentum is "raising some serious questions for the GOP."), Cain's got another shot at articulating his position on the war – and proving that he can develop some foreign policy chops.
Newt Gingrich: Is your campaign over?
In other words, will Americans vote for a man whose staff abandoned him? When those closest to you jump ship—and when they all do it together—it sets off alarms. Gingrich has plenty of scars to keep him from winning people over; losing friends could kill him in that respect.
Ron Paul: What if you get hijacked?
Ron Paul can't claim likability, but he can claim uniqueness and consistency. His policy palette is distinct and relatively free of contradiction (see: Mitt Romney), and it has been for a long time. But if the country is really moving in his direction, what's to stop Tim Pawlenty or any other candidate from hijacking the most popular parts of his platform? Paul's high on policy and low on appeal—if his policies go mainstream, the candidate could get left out in the cold.
Rick Santorum: Are Americans conservative enough for you?
With a plurality of Americans now in favor of same-sex marriage and our national waffling over abortion rights, can someone so socially conservative avoid alienating large swaths of the electorate? The field of candidates is crowded with similar policy outlines, and Santorum becomes "that guy": the anti-homosexual, anti-abortion politician who wants to teach creationism in public schools. What's his case to Republicans that he's the candidate who can beat Obama?
Michele Bachmann: What did you really mean when you said we should 'wean everybody' off Social Security and Medicare?
We all saw the public backlash from the GOP's Medicare voucher proposal, which makes Bachmann's more forceful claim that we should "wean everybody" off government entitlement programs potentially toxic. The Republican Party can't even get all of their politicians behind the voucher plan. Bachmann's phrasing was ambiguous, and she could be left deciding whether she meant the programs should move toward privatization, face some other kind of reorganization, or be phased out completely. There's probably no correct answer.

I have to add +2 for the beltman, I love mine and am ordering another one.
This is a discussion on Looking for a new gun belt within the Defensive Carry Holsters & Carry Options forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; My favorite belts are made by RafterS. Jerry...
I have to add +2 for the beltman, I love mine and am ordering another one.
I recommend The Belt Man belts. I have 2 from him - a bullhide and a sharkskin. The both perform very well, and I expect I will get another sometime soon.
Thanks for all of your input.
I have decided to go for the Beltmans 1.5 inch Bullhide belt.
Now for the money question. Should I go with or without the stiffener? Any downsize with the stiffener?
Check out #10 on the Beltman's FAQ's here- Gun Belts by The Belt Man | tel. (919) 387-1997 | FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
It may help you make up your mind.
The Belt Man horse hide is generally thinner & stiffer than the bullhide. It is also stronger without a stiffener than the bull hide is with a stiffener.
If you go with the horse hide without stiffener, it is only $10 more than the bull hide with the stiffener.
I like my Wilderness Instructors belt, but LOVE my Belt Man belt!
The Belt Man horse hide is my #1. I have had it for 1 1/2 years and love it.
I currently have two Beltman belts... different colors. I'm sure I will adding another in the next year or so... excellent quality and craftsmanship... the first one is 3 or 4 years old now and I still wear it on a regular basis.
Be Observant and Be Safe.
Current: DW V-Bob 1911, S&W 442, Springfield XD9sc, XDm9,
and Glock G26, G19, G23C, and SIG P226-40 TT, and Ruger GP-100, and Beretta 92FS
Former: Taurus 92SS, SIG P220 TT, S&W 360, SIG P239-40, Ruger 22/45 MKII
One of the ultimate leather gun belts is being made by Gibson ProRodeo but, I just checked and Bruce is not accepting any new belt orders right now.
I guess he is booked solid.
Liberty Over Tyranny Μολὼν λαβέ
I went with the Horse hide belt from Beltman, without the stiffener, size 39 with 7 holes, black belt with black belt buckle.
I really hope I don't put on to much weight. I want this belt to last.

Examples of amend in a Sentence

They voted to amend the law in 1920.
He tried to amend the situation by apologizing to me.
amend vs. emend
The question of whether to use amend or emend is a vexing one for many people, complicated by the fact that the words sound quite similar and have meanings that overlap to a considerable degree. Both words can be used with the meanings "to improve" or "to correct," but there are subtle differences. Emend is most often used in connection with changes to some form of written material, such as a text or manuscript; while such documents may also be described as amended, amend can apply to improvements or corrections made to things other than writing, as in "he amended his behavior." The confusion is compounded by the fact that one of the most frequently encountered uses of amend is in reference to a document: the Constitution of the United States.
Origin and Etymology of amend
Middle English, from Anglo-French amender, modification of Latin emendare, from e, ex out + menda fault; akin to Latin mendax lying, mendicus beggar, and perhaps to Sanskrit mindā physical defect
First Known Use: 13th century

Cordova's Homer Helps Hoppers Stay on Hitting Tear
By Bill Hass / Greensboro Grasshoppers | June 25, 2014 3:59 PM ET
So maybe it really wasn't Frank Moore's "magic dust" after all.
Regardless, the Hoppers continued on a hitting tear Tuesday afternoon, ripping Lakewood 11-3. That followed Monday's 14-2 whipping of the BlueClaws. In the past two games the Hoppers have scored 25 runs and pounded out 30 hits.
Moore wound up as manager and third base coach for most of the game after David Berg was ejected in the bottom of the first inning. He deflected a suggestion that the win should go on his resume.
"Too many people make a big deal out of that," he said. "It's not my show and it's not Bergie's show. You let the players play. All I'm going for is the Ws (wins)"
Moore also dispelled the notion that there might be something to the "magic dust" he jokingly suggested had something to do with Monday's win.
"There's no secret formula for success," he said. "It takes preparation, hard work and a good mental approach."
Those elements were surely in place Tuesday. Carlos Lopez had three hits and drove in four runs. Felix Munoz added three more hits, including his 10th homer, and scored three times. Rehiner Cordova hit his first career home run, added two singles, walked twice, scored three times and drove in three runs.
Cordova's homer came when he led off the bottom of the fourth. His fly ball hugged the line and cleared the fence in the left field corner with home plate umpire Kyle Wallace watching it closely before signalling it fair. It was Cordova's first homer in 150 professional games, and Munoz gave him a bear hug as he entered the dugout.
"I've been waiting for that my whole career," said Cordova with a broad smile as teammate Yefri Perez translated. "I was running and watching the ball and I wanted to push it fair."
A natural shortstop, which is where he played Tuesday, Cordova has also played second base, third base, center field and left field. He said he's happy to get into the lineup wherever and whenever he can.
"You love a guy like that," Moore said. "He's very energetic, plays hard and enjoys the moment."
Perez, officially 0-for-4 for the day, still had one of the game's biggest at-bats. In the second inning, with runners on second and third with two outs, the count reached 3-and-2 and he fouled off several pitches from Mark Leiter Jr. He finally coaxed a walk to load the bases, which set the stage for a five-run inning.
"I wanted to take a walk so we could get a rally going," Perez said.
Munoz, who homered to left field Monday and to right field Tuesday, said he has been working on better movement with his hands during his swing.
"I tried to concentrate, get a good pitch and then swing the bat," he said, through Perez.
On the pitching end, the Hoppers got six innings from Sean Townsley, who picked up his second victory. Townsley had a shaky first inning, walking the leadoff man and giving up two singles and two runs. Then he slammed the door with five shutout innings, retiring nine straight in one stretch. He made good use of a sweeping knuckle curve that helped him post six strikeouts.
"In the first inning I wasn't putting the ball where I wanted it," Townsley said. "But I learned from my mistakes and focused on repeating my delivery. All my pitches were working when I needed them."
Pitching coach Jeremy Powell said Townsley improved his efficiency as the game progressed, getting a lot of outs early in the count.
"It was a well-deserved win," Powell said.
C.J. Robinson earned a three-inning save, his first of the season.
NOTES: Infielder Justin Bohn was promoted to Jupiter and first baseman Carlos Duran assigned to the Hoppers from Batavia. Bohn was perhaps the biggest surprise on the team. In a combined 52 games with Batavia and the Hoppers in 2013, Bohn hit .196 with no homers and 10 RBIs. In 63 games in Greensboro this season, he hit .293 with six homers and drove in 47 runs … Duran played in eight games at Batavia, hitting .333 with four RBIs. He hit .275 with two homers and 20 RBIs in 45 games in the Gulf Coast League in 2013 … The umpires had a busy afternoon. Joining Berg in the clubhouse were Lakewood pitching coach Les Lancaster and manager Greg Legg, both tossed in the bottom of the fifth inning.

Pregnant Christina Applegate Works The Pole – In A Hilarious New Video. Check It Out!
Mom-to-be Christina Applegate dares to bare her baby bump, as a pregnant pole dance instructor, in a new skit for Funny or Die. Watch!
HollyMoms, prepare to laugh until it hurts. We can't get enough of Christina Applegate as she once again proves she's the queen of comedic timing in a new video on Funny or Die. The 39-year-old extremely pregnant star shows off her not-so-sexy moves as pole dance instructor Roxy Fedaro in the skit. You have got to see this!
Christina doesn't like people touching her baby bump
"Just because you put on an extra 50 pounds, that doesn't' mean you're not hot," Christina, who is expecting her first child — a baby girl — with fiance, musician Martyn Lenoble in February, says in the clip. "Prenatal pole dancing works because when men see a pregnant woman, they know she's down for sex." The actress flexes her comedic chops as she waddles around the pole wearing a super-tight tank top, ripped fishnet stockings and straight-up stripper stilettos.
Christina's having a baby girl
Whether you're pregnant and feeling a little down about your expanding waistline or already a mom, this video will have you in hysterics. Just don't blame us if you go into labor from laughing too hard. You've been warned!
"I hear I have disgusted some of you," Christina tweeted. "And all I have to say to you is……..you're welcome! Xo" Enjoy!

Home › Forums › Campfire › Post-Trip Reports › Panther Creek Falls, Georgia
Jan 17, 2011 at 6:04 am #1267831
Adam KramerBPL Member
@rbeardLocale: ATL, Southern Appalachia
Quick 24 hour winter trip report from down south.
In my opinion, the Panther Creek hike offers one of the best "bangs for the buck" if you are looking for a 24 hour trip emanating from Atlanta. I used to go a couple of times each summer growing up in the ATL in the 90's, but hadn't been in 8 years or so. It would be good to get back. E and I left at around noon on Saturday, and made our way to the trail head on Historic 441 by 1:30pm. The trail into the falls is a little less than 4 miles, so we would take our time and still bang it out in well under 2 hours.
The middle section on the trail to Panther Creek Falls:
Some background on the trail: The first part of the trail goes through woods with the river sometimes 100-200 feet below you. After descending a bit, the trail opens up and crosses a few bridges. There is one big group site near the river, but other than that, a lot of the woods in this area seem untouched. The last part of the trail undulates along side the river, culminating in a quick ascension to the top of the falls. At the top of the falls, you can walk out onto numerous rocks that look over the lower falls.
The upper falls area:
As E and I descend onto the soft sandy base of the falls, we were greeted with beauty as well as the solitude. Here's the deal: Panther Creek is a great hike with a sick waterfall at the end, but it is usually crowded because it's no secret. So how do you avoid the crowd? Go on a night when the lows were forecasted into the teens, 30's for the highs. No rain. Perfect down weather. We had the whole beach to ourselves. Someone even left us a half bottle of ice cold vodka to drink. It could also be used as an antiseptic or fire accelerant, of course, but would be best served as an aperitif to our packed-in whisky and cider.
E lounging on the beach by the lower falls (temp, 29):
We took some luxuries on this trip, and enjoyed cowboy steaks over hot coals while slurping down rice and ramen. The site was just as perfect as I had remembered it. It's pretty special in that you can camp at the base of the falls and surrounding area. If you've ever tried to light a fire here before (in the clearly marked fire pits), you know that wood is hard to come by. It was going to be a cold night, and fire would be very nice, so we had to hike up, out of the basin and literally throw dead trees back down to our site. I was amazed how every time, they would break into perfect sized logs as they crashed down on the rocks near our fire pit. The fire gods were looking out for us I suppose. After dinner, we power-lounged in our chairs by the fire and laughed until E retired to his hammock (what a beast), while I zipped up my newly modified Golite Utopia2 (bearpaw tents sewed in some bug mesh on the bottom of the sides and added a mesh door). It was easy to sleep, deep in down, listening to the never-ending waterfall. For breakfast. We re-started the fire and made a big ole pot of oatmeal with freeze-dried strawberries and bananas before we broke down camp and leisurely hiked the 4 miles back to the car. Then 1.5 hours back to ATL. That night it snowed 5 inches in ATL and schools were cancelled for the next 5 days due to crazy iced roads.
Our site next to the river, down from the lower falls:
Temps went down to about 17 degrees, but I stayed warm with:
Patagonia wool 2 baselayer
Patagonia R1 1/4 zip Midlayer
Montbell Alpine Light Parka Outerlayer
Dri Ducks Jacket (flying ember protection for down jacket, actually got a little hole in the driducks but montbell stayed safe!)
Patagonia Cap 3 bottoms
Montbell UL Down Inner Pants
REI 4-way stretch Running Pants (worn hiking and around camp/fire to protect down pants, didn't sleep in em)
ID Hot Socks
Wild Ones Happy Feet Primaloft Bootis (worn around camp, didn't use to sleep)
Mountain Hardware Windstopper gloves
Sierra Design Nitro Sleeping Bag.
From our campsite looking back towards the falls:

@trevor83Locale: ATL -- Zurich -- SF Bay Area
That's a nice section of trail that is so accessible to Atlanta. I think I last did the hike in '08. Unfortunately, the camp site by the falls was very crowded by the time we arrived but we were still able to find a nice spot for out tent a mile or so back up the trail.
Thanks for sharing!Jan 17, 2011 at 2:37 pm #1685177

Get your giant mecha and monsters ready, along with your wallets
Sideshow Collectibles have been doing a 12 Days of Sideshow event, where they've been giving us sneak peeks at what's to come in 2013. Well, in news that might not surprise some of you, Sideshow announced late last week via a teaser image that they will be doing collectibles from Guillermo del Toro's upcoming film Pacific Rim. You know, the one with the giant robots and kaiju and Idris Elba.
No word yet on when to expect anything Pacific Rim-branded from Sideshow, but with the film tentatively coming out in July, one would expect news by or at San Diego Comic Con. So we'll have to see just what Sideshow has planned. What are you hoping for, Tomopop readers?

MySpace: Marketing in a Networked Culture
Posted by Jeremiah K. Owyang on November 16, 2007
- 319 Recommendations
- 3 comments
[Posted by Jeremiah Owyang]
Update: A quick video with Jay is now available.
Jay Stevens is the Vice President of Operations for MySpace Europe. He's got a long background in the internet industry, and shared with me his background in communications and the web.
Key nuggets from his presentation:
History of MySpace: Launched in Jan 2004, by Tom Anderson and Chris de Wolfe. Grown from roughly 1MM uniques throughout Europe to more than 24MM today. There are currently 175 employees in 10 European territories.
What's a social network? Individual profiles, semi persistent public commentary on the profile, a traversable public articulated social network displayed in correlate to the profile. -From Dana Boyd
[A member told us that: "I don't want brands to advertise to me, I want them to be my friend"]
Why do people flock to social networks? A User's profile may be seen as a metaphor to their room or apartment. The profile has become a user's online persona. This "Digital Native" have grown up online, with cell phones, and tv. MySpace is their space. Globally, there are about 400 million social network users worldwide. 86% of UK 15-34 year olds are now on social networking sites. 4.3 Billions monthly UK page views on MySpace.
So how do you take advantage of these social networks? Build a network within a network. Create icons (content, images, logos) that will be dressing up users profiles. A few don't matter as much, until thousands and then millions do this. An English tea brand called has 9500 friends in MySpace, they encouraged users to change their profile pictures to become a cute monkey icon.
[Why join a network rather than create your own? Leverage the power of an existing network, the larger the network, the larger the power]
Why would anyone create a social network? There's a momentum effect that transcribes to 'never ending friending'
What about Facebook? There's huge amount of cross over. MySpace is over 2X the size, and are still growing. The media gloms onto the 'next big thing'.
What about Open Social? The promise for opening up certain elements of MySpace profiles makes sense. Widget's can't interfere with user experience, but there's concerns about user data, and we have to be careful. (learn more about Open Social) Google has advertising on MySpace, and discusses hyper targeted, to learn more about Hyper Targeting, please read this primer.

Comment from Alex (not verified) on Thu, 11/29/2007 - 16:16
Hi Jeremiah,I'm curious how an internal cusotmer forum using social networking software could be just as valuable as an external-facing network using something like Facebook (or could some aspects of the internal social network be made public - for e.g., the customer's own blogs). Is it possible to both build dialgoue with and between customers in this manner, as well as increase lead generation or brand awareness (or are two separate applications necessary?)

Patriots.com writer John Rooke suggests Tom Brady doesn't have to be an offensive playmaking leader, but that to be effective he just has to manage the game writing, "It is over-simplifying things, but literally all Brady needs to do...to still be terrific...is get the ball in the hands of the playmakers at the right time. Should the offensive line regain some similar form from a few seasons ago and give Brady the time, this offense can be as dynamic and as dangerous as you find in the NFL this season." Rooke goes on to say the offense will be in prime shape if Ridley can hold on to the ball, and Amendola and Gronk can stay healthy. With a healthy Gronk and mastermind coach Bill Belichick calling plays, all signs are pointing up for New England heading into training camp.
Fantasy Analysis:
Everyone sees a little regression from Tom Brady from previous years, but that doesn't mean he still isn't elite. I tend to agree that if Brady has the weapons available to him, he can have an amazing season, however, for fantasy purposes you'd be relying on Gronk and Amendola to stay healthy which comes with risk. Our ADP currently has Brady going in the eighth round as a QB11 and you can consider him a QB1 option with plenty of upside.

Given the mangled melodic dissonance and the enchanting tuneless drone of opener Things That We Found, it could really only be a new album by one band.
Because even after 13 years off the radar, Kiwi noise heroes Bailterspace still sound so unique, so deliciously moody and, often, on eighth album, Strobosphere, they're at their devastating best.
Like on early highlight Polarize, which writhes and squirms around in its own gritty dirge and punishing groove.
And it's that song, four tracks in, where the intensity and all-consuming grip of the album really starts to take hold.
But first, a quick Bailterspace history lesson to document where they came from and what the core of Alister Parker (guitar, bass, vocals), Brent McLachlan (drums, samples, percussion) and John Halvorsen (bass, guitar) have been up to lately.
First there was the Gordons, who formed in Christchurch in 1980.
Then came Nelsh Bailter Space before they shortened it to what they are known as today. Back in the day, the ear-splitting volume of the band's live shows were rivalled only by, well, probably the Gordons.
And after releasing seven albums, including the tense, weighty and often beautifully sparse 1988 debut Tanker, and moving to New York, Bailter Space went on extended hiatus in the early 2000s.
But now, the New York-based pair of Parker and McLachlan are back (minus Halvorsen who has lived back in New Zealand for around five years).
On Strobosphere there is nothing quite as ear-ravaging as Tanker's Grader Spader, nor anything as exquisitely eerie as Fish Eye (though OP1 is close, with its mix of dulcet, dour and distorted), but as returns go it's still a potent one.
The title track has a big, strumming lurch to it before escalating into a frenzied swirl of chaos. No Sense offers some slightly rosier, almost jangly (but not quite) moments, and the two most different sounding songs are the trashy and rowdy Dset, and Island, which starts like Nirvana's About A Girl and has Parker doing his best Iggy-meets-Bowie yowl throughout.
The other striking thing about Bailterspace is the unassuming textures, conjured up by clever sampling and added percussion, that reveal themselves over time (giving the finale to Meeting Place a spooky second level).
And it has to be said, New Zealand doesn't have too many underground music legends - but Bailterspace are one of them and they're just as intense as ever.
Oh yes, and this goes without saying, but turn the volume right up for this one because songs like Polarize and the more wending and winding melodicsm and subtleties of Meeting Place just won't sound the same if you don't.
Verdict: Kiwi underground legends pick up where they left off.
Stars: 4/5

U.S. Geothermal's Oregon Power Plant Approved for Treasury Grant
U.S. Geothermal Inc. (HTM), a renewable- energy developer with projects in three Western states and Guatemala, was approved for a U.S. Treasury Department grant for a power plant it operates in Oregon.
U.S. Geothermal's $36 million grant for the Neal Hot Springs geothermal plant will be reduced 8.7 percent to about $33 million due to automatic cuts to the federal budget that took effect March 1, the Boise, Idaho-based company said today in a statement.
About $13.3 million will pay an outstanding project loan and $8.5 million will be held in cash reserves. The balance will be distributed among equity partners. Enbridge Inc. (ENB) owns 30 percent to 40 percent of the U.S. Geothermal unit that operates Neal Hot Springs.
Idaho Power Co. purchases electricity from Neal Hot Springs under a 25-year contract. The plant is expected to produce about 183,000 megawatt-hours a year.
The grant was awarded under the Treasury Department's 1603 program that provides cash when projects go into operation instead of tax credits the plants would receive in the future. U.S. Geothermal received March 6 the balance of an $11.8 million federal grant under the same program for a project in Nevada.

Movin' On Up
LaVell Blanchard became the 31st player in Michigan history to score 1,100 points in a career when he connected on a free throw with 15:10 remaining in the second half. Blanchard finished with 11 points, and he sits in 31st place on the all-time scoring list at U-M with 1,110 points.
Young Gets 600
Chris Young scored the 600th point of point of his career on a one-handed dunk with 6:57 remaining in the first half. Young finished with eight points on 3-of-5 shooting, nine boards, two blocks and a steal.
Young Blocks Another Pair
With two rejections against Northwestern, Chris Young became the 10th player in Michigan history to record 70 career blocked shots. Young now has 18 swats for the season, boosting his career total to 71. The two blocks against the Wildcats marked the 13th time in his career that Young had recorded a pair of rejections in a game.
Queen Ties Long-Range Mark
Avery Queen tied his career high for three-pointers made as he connected on 3-of-3 from behind the arc. Queen ended the game shooting 4-of-4 from the field for a season-high 11 points.
Playing a career-high 15 minutes, Rotolu Adebiyi registered three rebounds and tied a career high with a blocked shot. The senior tri-captain's block came with 0:03 to go in the first half, as Collier Drayton drove the lane for a layin attempt. Adebiyi has played in nine of the team's 14 games this season.
Showing No Ill Effects
After missing practice the day before because of the flu, Dommanic Ingerson played 16 minutes, scored five points and tied a career high with three assists. Ingerson continued his hot shooting from the free throw line as he went 2-of-2 from the stripe to increase his career free throw percentage to .773 (17-of-22).
Triple Double
LaVell Blanchard, Avery Queen and Bernard Robinson Jr. all scored in double digits against the Wildcats Wednesday night. Blanchard and Queen led the team with 11 points apiece while Robinson added 10 points. With three players in double digits, the Wolverines have now had three or more double-digit scoring performances in 13 of 14 games.
On the Boards
The Wolverines outrebounded the Wildcats 39-28 as LaVell Blanchard and Chris Young pulled down nine boards apiece, with Bernard Robinson Jr. grabbing eight. Robinson's eight rebounds are a season high and were one off his career high which he set against Indiana (Jan. 9, 2001).
Jones for Three
Leon Jones, playing in his 98th career game, connected on his first two three-point attempts against the Wildcats. Jones ended the game shooting 3-of-4 from three-point range en route to a nine-point, three-rebound performance.

High Court Rules that Schools Cannot Ignore Sexual Harassment Among Students
Find Your State
Legal Help Desk

(NEW YORK, May 24, 1999) -— The United States Supreme Court ruled Monday that schools that willfully ignore sexual harassment of one student by another can be held liable for violating federal civil rights law. Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund praised the 5-4 decision, noting that abuse of lesbian and gay students often involves sexual harassment from their peers.
Because Title IX, the federal law banning sex discrimination in public schools, is an important building block for creating safe and nurturing schools for all students, Lambda joined a friend-of-the-court brief in the case, which involves a Georgia fifth-grader who had been sexually harassed by a male student in her class.
Noting Nabozny v. Podlesny, Lambda's successful constitutional lawsuit against a Wisconsin school district that ignored student brutality against a gay classmate, the federal government recently clarified that sexual harassment directed at lesbian and gay students is also covered by Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972.
Lambda Legal Director Beatrice Dohrn said, "Sexual harassment of lesbian and gay students is a significant problem. The court has taken an important step in recognizing that school officials who turn a deaf ear to complaints of serious harassment and violence themselves facilitate the denial of educational opportunities to harassed students."
Lambda Staff Attorney David Buckel said, "Today's decision is very important to our struggle to make schools safe for lesbian and gay students, as violence and harassment by peers is the most common form these problems take."
"The High Court ruling sustains one of the many tools available to stop the harassment of lesbian and gay students," said Stephen R. Scarborough, staff attorney at Lambda's Southern Regional Office in Atlanta.
Writing for the majority in Davis v. Monroe County Board of Education, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor said lawsuits may be filed against school officials who knowingly and deliberately ignore student-on-student harassment.
The ruling remands the case to the district court, vacating an Eleventh Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals ruling that dismissed the lawsuit. The case was filed by Aurelia Davis, seeking damages after public school administrators in Monroe county, Georgia, ignored severe sexual harassment against her daughter LaShonda.
Referring to Title IX, O'Connor wrote, "The statute makes clear that, whatever else it prohibits, students must not be denied access to educational benefits and opportunities on the basis of gender."
Lambda, the nation's oldest and largest legal organization serving lesbians and gay men, joined an amicus brief authored by NOW Legal Defense and Education Fund.

I made the backup about a year ago, so it'll be "b" instead of "c". I don't think I actually tested that image by writing it back to another drive, so if it doesn't work, let me know and I'll try again. And if you've never read the SATA/IDE adapter thread-- http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=416883 Short version, S1s need a Marvell chipset based adapter, S2s need a Marvell or a JMicron, and the JMicrons are cheaper. Avoid all other chipsets, and don't try to use a Caviar Blue of any kind in an S1--S1's are just terribly finicky. AllAboutJeeps says he/she got a JMicron to work in a 140. Drive-wise, if you're going to use a SATA, probably the older the better, jumper a 3 down to a 1.5, etc If you've got an old 80GB IDE, that should be good enough to try my 60GB image on. Rumor has it that you can boot a 140 with 240 software, and maybe a 130 with 230 software, but the 30s and 40s are not compatible with each other.
