London, UK (SPX) Dec 21, 2007
Most modern-day groups of beetles have been around since the time of the dinosaurs and have been diversifying ever since, says new research out in Science. There are approximately 350,000 species of beetles on Earth, and probably millions more yet to be discovered, accounting for about 25% of all known life forms on the planet. The reason for this large number of beetle species has been debated by scientists for many years, but never resolved.
Now a team of scientists has shown that large numbers of modern-day beetle lineages evolved very soon after the first beetles originated, and have persisted ever since. Many modern-day lineages first appeared during the Jurassic period, when the major groups of dinosaurs appeared too.
Lead scientist on the study, Professor Alfried Vogler from Imperial College London's Department of Life Sciences and the Natural History Museum's Department of Entomology, explains: "The large number of beetle species existing today could very well be a direct result of this early evolution and the fact that there has been a very high rate of survival and continuous diversification of many lineages since then."
The team behind the new study - the most extensive of its kind to date - used DNA sequencing and fossil records to compile a comprehensive evolutionary 'family tree' for beetles. By comparing DNA sequences from 1,880 beetle species, the scientists were able to group beetle species that are descended from a common ancestor, enabling them to build an evolutionary tree for all the species included. Fossils of known ages were then used to date key moments of evolution and diversification on the tree.
Prior to this study the survival success of beetles had been attributed to herbivory - feeding on plants - and the rise of flowering plants in the Cretaceous era, which started some 140 million years ago. However, mapping species numbers onto the evolutionary tree shows that many modern beetle lineages significantly pre-date the appearance of the first flowering plants.
Beetles have displayed an exceptional ability to seize new ecological opportunities and develop a great range of life styles and feeding types, explains Professor Vogler. "Unlike the dinosaurs which dwindled to extinction, beetles survived because of their ecological diversity and adaptability," he says.
The scientific team says that understanding the evolution of beetles is an important part of understanding the natural world: "With beetles forming such a large proportion of all known species, learning about their relationships and evolution gives us important new insights into the origin of biodiversity and how beetles have triumphed over the course of nearly 300 million years," said Professor Vogler.

Squirrels Use Snake Scent
Davis CA (SPX) Dec 20, 2007
California ground squirrels and rock squirrels chew up rattlesnake skin and smear it on their fur to mask their scent from predators, according to a new study by researchers at UC Davis. Barbara Clucas, a graduate student in animal behavior at UC Davis, observed ground squirrels (Spermophilus beecheyi) and rock squirrels (Spermophilus variegates) applying snake scent to themselves by picking up pieces of shed snakeskin, chewing it and then licking their fur.

TRENT Grimsey, who holds the record for the fastest crossing of the English Channel, appears to be paying for a breakout year after withdrawing from the selection trials for this year's open water world championships because of fatigue.
Four swimmers on Saturday earned berths on the team for the 10-kilometre event in Barcelona, with 14-year-old Chelsea Gubecka outlasting former five-kilometre world champion Melissa Gorman. Rhys Mainstone and Simon Huitenga were the top two placegetters in the men's race.
Grimsey, who last September broke the English Channel landmark time set by Petar Stoychev by more than 2½ minutes, was listed to compete in Saturday's 10-kilometre and Sunday's five-kilometre races, but his coach Harley Connolly said Grimsey had bigger challenges this year than the world championships in Barcelona.
Connolly said Grimsey's priority was to rest and set his sights on the grand prix and world cup events later in the year.
''Being somebody who breaks the world record for the English Channel you don't exactly have to go to world championships to prove yourself,'' the coach said of Grimsey, who also won the grand prix circuit last year.
''He's the fastest person to ever cross the channel and I don't think that record's going to be easy to break by anyone from anywhere in the world, so theoretically the world championships for him wasn't something that necessarily was that important.
''He's got plenty of other things he'd like to achieve in swimming rather than just going to world championships. The world championships, really in open water these days, are not what they're cracked up to be any more because of the Olympic Games,'' Connolly said.
''The Olympic Games are a little bit more of drawcards rather than the 2013 world championships … a lot of people from the Olympics have time off and they let the younger guys come through and then they'll come back onto the scene in 2014 or 2015, which is the next world championship leading into the Olympics in 2016.''
Connolly said Grimsey's fatigue was not a concern.
''We can't pinpoint what's exactly wrong just yet but he's just a little bit fatigued and we didn't want to come into the weekend underdone . . so we decided to rest this weekend and look towards the end of the year,'' he said.
''After such a big year last year and being very successful with everything he swam in we think it's going to be good for him just to recharge the batteries.
''I don't think it's going to be a chronic thing. Everything he did last year was very taxing, mentally and physically, and we're looking further to the future rather than the right now, so it's the best time to have a rest and then when he's feeling much better we can start the preparation again,'' Connolly said.

Gather your tresses with a tiny posy crochet hair accessory! A small crocheted motif decorates a button covered in a contrasting fabric. Use the type of buttons that have small hooks on the backside; they do not require any tools to fasten and will keep the motif in place as you fasten it together. You can find the buttons that I used here at JoAnn's.

Don't Go In The House

Zombie Holocaust
I recently purchased the 2 Disc Grizzly and it works fine.
I have Burial Ground, Eaten Alive, Jungle Holocaust, Man From Deep River and Zombie Holocaust. They all play perfectly on my player. Beyond the Darkness, on the other hand, takes about half an hour to load in the player, but after that it plays fine. How incredibly strange.
never had any problems playing any of the Shriek Show stuff and I own a bunch of it.
You're never too young to be a dirty old man.
I just watched Don't Go in the House last Thursday. No problems at all.
Yeah, I've never heard of any freezing.
I have all those except GRIZZLY, and they all played fine for me. They're all very nice releases, and worth having.
Ditto. I have the Zombie 3-5, Cannibal Lunchbox (well one with Dinosaur Valley), Post Apoc, Ray Dennis Steckler, Animals Amok, and they're all fine.
Most of the problems I've heard of with Media Blasters DVDs have been authoring errors rather than freezing discs. I can't think of many examples at the moment but there was the messed up audio on Slaughter Hotel and a few minutes missing from Samurai Reincarnation. I seem to recall that one of the later Steckler films had a scene missing, or skipped a chapter, or something like that.
"We were having a party and Harry Warden started killing everybody!"
All my Shriek Show discs works fine.
''70's explo-feel & groove''
Tales of a Bearded Movie Aficionado
I have never had a Shriek Show disc end up not working for me. The only two I've ever run into, actually , are Beast With a Gun on Anchor Bay that would freeze on my old Panasonic but on my Oppo works fine , and Salon Kitty on Blue Underground which my Oppo flat out refuses to play past the 38 minute mark, even with BU replacing the disc twice and renting one from Netflix which still wouldn't play. The player is haunted I guess, and is heavily offended by Tinto and co. Woah just realized both movies have Helmut Buerger in the lead role! (burger in the roll! aha)
I would say Shriek Show hasn't more faulty discs than most other companys. I buy a lot of stuff and I had faulty discs from BU, BCI, Severin and others, but I never had problems to get an replacement that worked fine.
Not so with Shriek Show/Media Blasters. The disc I had a problem with was "Vicious Blondes" (I played it on four different equipments and it always freezed up). I contacted them and asked if there is a general problem with this pressing, or if I should contact my retailer for a replacement. They never responded, so I sent the disc back to the retailer and got a replacement - with exact the same problem.
Then I've sent one more sarcastic email to MB, just to tell em that they could at least have told me, that it's no use to get an recpalcement from my retailer, because it also won't work. Now they responded and told me I should send my disc to them and they will get me a replacement that will work. Well... I did so and never heard from them again. Great!
So they are really the only DVD company in the world I really try to avoid buying from.
I own "Eaten Alive"and "Jungle Holocaust" and I've rented "Burial Ground" and most of the others (I did not even know there was a decent widescreen DVD of "Grizzly" or that "Don't Go in the House" was on DVD yet). I've never had a problem with anything from Shriek Show or Media Blasters freezing up.
Media Blasters is a big company compared to Severin or Code Red or something, so they may not be as good about responding to problems, but they should definitely respond to any problems you have with their stuff. I don't know that there are any GENERAL problems with their discs though
There's an entire thread devoted to defective DVDs, James, and Media Blasters is mentioned more than once, including in the opening post. Here's the link:
1) Philips - Jumps to 54:24 and stutters till 54:32.
2) Hitachi - Jumps just past hour-mark.
3) Daewoo - Never recovers.
Others have reported problems with this one, too.

Kelley and her husband hired a prominent lawyer, abbe Lowell.
As abbe wades through her grief and her history, her marriage with Greg begins to fall apart.
Lead defense attorney abbe Lowell looked worried at the end of the 17th day of testimony at the John Edwards trial.
Defense attorney abbe Lowell is a wiry man who seems to never stop moving when he speaks in a courtroom.
And how, exactly, does lead defense attorney abbe Lowell plan to do that?
abbe Mouret smiled and related in a few words how strangely Jeanbernat had received him.
On his side the abbe studied Samuel Brohl without seeming to do so.
The abbe Cornille wiped both her eyes with a bit of cotton, which he afterwards put into one of the little cornets of paper.
He could not breathe until the abbe had freed him from his obtrusive society.
"I did not come to frighten you, for I shall never speak of this to any one in the world," said the abbe.
1520s, title given in France to "every one who wears an ecclesiastical dress," especially one having no assigned ecclesiastical duty, from French abbé, from Late Latin abbatem, accusative of abbas (see abbot).

SEVEN Cirencester College Performing Arts and A-Level Drama students will be performing at this year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
Their performance of Scandimania: Gods of Ice and Fire is the second production by The Sundial Theatre Company, which was set up by the College in September 2013.
The show is being performed at 1.10 pm every day from July 31 to August 10 at Sweet Venues in Edinburgh.
Ryan Walters, secretary of The Sundial Theatre Company and cast member, said: "To perform at the Fringe Festival is a fantastic opportunity, particularly for those of us looking at pursuing a career in performance. The show is lots of hard work with almost 100 hours of rehearsals, but will be more than worth it when we're performing to the theatre lovers of the fringe.
"For me simply being exposed to this excitingly expressive form of theatre has been enough to get me hooked. The process of working and creating alongside such a fantastic team as we constantly take risks and push ourselves to our limits has been an experience in itself. Taking Scandimania and being able to show it to the Edinburgh audiences is just the cherry on top of the cake." said Laurs Oakley, who plays Tyrr amongst other roles in the performance.
Scandimania is powerful production about Norse mythology, which has been devised by the students and director Duncan Walthew.
The students will be returning to perform the show on September 10 and 11.

That is an idea, but internet by cable is now available here and I'm
very far from the CO, so with DSL the best I can get is 128K upload.
Not enough for a web server. My current internet connexion is a Fiber

I'm in canada... I told my boss it would be better to go with a

Cynthia Nixon Marries Longtime Girlfriend
"Sex and the City" star Cynthia Nixon married longtime girlfriend and education activist Christine Marinoni on Sunday, reports People.
The couple has been together since 2004, and were engaged in 2009 at a rally to support same-sex marriage in New York.
According to People, the two have been waiting to be wed until it was legal in NYC, which happened last summer. Nixon told the mag in 2010, "I don't mind a long engagement, which this one is surely turning out to be."
In February 2011, Marinoni gave birth to their first son together, Max Ellington Nixon-Marinoni. Nixon has two children from her previous relationship with photographer Danny Mozes.

New Delhi: Anirban Lahiri had once met Tiger Woods in Malaysia, but never had a chance to play against the legend. On Tuesday, when Lahiri got the opportunity to face Woods in the last three holes at the Delhi Golf Club (DGC), the world No. 1's talent dumbfounded him.
"I saw him play only on the last three holes. But I think for him to come out and play here, he had to adapt to the conditions. It's amazing how after missing a few putts, he could make eight or nine birdies
that goes to show the talent of the man," said Lahiri after the exhibition event.
Lahiri said he found Woods to be a nice human being and a down to earth person. "It was good to know he is a nice human being. We all make him to be larger than life.
"He has done seemingly impossible things in the sport but I found him to be a good person in flesh and blood. Such things make you believe that you too can achieve such things. Meeting him was really inspiring," said Lahiri.
Asked what Woods told him after the event, Lahiri said: "It was all very light-hearted conversation. Obviously, he was enjoying his time here. I think he had a great day and he had a taste of Indian crowd mentality also
he got the real taste of India."
Lahiri was also impressed with Woods' fitness and work ethics. "I think he has lost some weight since I met him at CIMB (Classic). No doubt, he works very hard. I was talking to him and found he was very particular about his food habit. Overall, it was an amazing experience."
Equally delighted was Shiv Kapur, who, too, played the last three holes with Woods. He hit a birdie in the 17th and Woods appreciated the good shot and patted Kapur on the back.
"The birdie on the 17th hole was definitely a special moment," said Kapur. "To be able to do it in front of the home crowd was a big thing. It was a fabulous experience."
Kapur said he and Woods talked about food and the difference in the course conditions in the Dubai and DGC.
Sharmila Nicollet is the country's No. 1 woman golfer and the youngest Indian to qualify for Ladies European Tour. Yet, she felt nervous while playing with Woods.
"Frankly, I was thrilled and nervous," Sharmila said. "Playing alongside Woods was like a dream comes true. I will always cherish this day."

NEW YORK – A stretch of boardwalk in New Jersey was destroyed by a massive blaze Thursday, nearly a year after the area was devastated by Hurricane Sandy. The fire broke out at a frozen custard shop on the Seaside Park boardwalk at 2:30 p.m. and spread rapidly, engulfing dozens of businesses and sending smoke billowing into the sky.
Parts of the boardwalk destroyed by the fire had been rebuilt after being hit by Superstorm Sandy last October. It was not clear what started the fire.

In Reply to: Question on Audionote Dac1.1X posted by jai on September 9, 2003 at 02:37:10:
Hi jai,
Here are my suggestions to upgrade the AudioNote DAC 1.1:
1) Replace the AD1855N-J by AD1865N-K (highest selection grade)
2) Replace output caps by AudioNote copper foil in oil (very nice indeed)
3) Try my interface at the DAC side with the AD8561(see link)
4) Change PLL loopfilter to Wildmonkeysects mod.
5) If you can get hold of the CS8412 install it in place of the CS8414. The CS8412 sounds better on Redbook CD's.
6) supply the PLL (V-analog) of the CS8412 from the low noise analog supply.

Cons: A little heavier than the macbook air
it does get very hot even with basic tasks
Battery life could be better
Great branding with B&O, however since the laptop is slim, you can't expect that great sound either
Other Thoughts: Decided to buy this refurbished version because it's almost 50% less than buying it new from HP. Back-lit keyboard makes it very easy to type in dark places, specially in planes.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Obihai OBI100 VoIP Telephone Adapter with Google Voice & SIP
Pros: I've been using this unit for over two years, thanks to the seamless integration with Google voice number (incoming and outgoing calls).
We've learned a few months ago that Google will drop XMPP support, protocol that Obi uses to connect GV to this device, so, ObiTalk will just become another VoIP SIP product...
Cons: Added value highly dependent on Google Voice integration, that's a con because google will drop the protocol that enables calls through Obi in May 2014.. So... unless there is a free workaround it's kinda useless for me.
Other Thoughts: Great device that knows how to integrate the best of VoIP: Provides it's own network so each device can communicate with other Obi Devices without setting any account, and compatibility with Google Voice and regular SIP providers.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Roku 2 XS 1080p HD Streaming Media Player W/ Motion Sensor Control & Angry Birds - 3100X-B
Pros: Easy to set up
Lot´s of content to choose from, even more if you know the password for some pre-released channels.
HD Quality in most channels.
All major streaming services in one device (you still have to pay to each provider, Roku only provides the platform)
Having an ethernet port is a plus (WiFi included, of course)
Bluetooth remote allows placing the Roku out of line of sight which it´s great if you don´t want yet another device to show up in front of your TV. You can safely place it somewhere behind.
USB port allows to play content from your local network, if you install the proper software on the Roku.
Cons: UI kinda slow.. not unbearably slow, but could be faster
In order to set up the device you need a Roku account, which asks for your credit card info, even if you are not going to add any paying channels. Want to avoid the hassle? Dial a 1-800 number and speak to a rep.
Roku should not ask for CC info unless buying a channel
Other Thoughts: Mainly, this is a streaming device only. You can find a way to play content you already own, let´s say from a NAS or a portable hard drive, but keep in mind that support is somewhat limited as opposed to other media player gadgets you can find.READ FULL REVIEW

Albert Brooks: All mediums well done
TORONTO – Considering how adroitly Albert Brooks turns innocent silverware into lethal weaponry in the new film Drive, it is a relief to see that there are no utensils on the restaurant table where he is seated.
"That was at my request," he says, smiling. Apparently, he can no longer wield a fork with impunity.
As a stand-up comic, actor and influential filmmaker (1985's Lost in America remains the quintessential yuppie-era takedown), Brooks has specialized in nebbishy worrywarts and kvetching underdogs. Typical was his Oscar-nominated role as a brainy TV reporter who memorably sweats through his suit while flopping as a fill-in anchor in 1986's Broadcast News.
But in the stylized action thriller Drive, his Bernie Rose is the type of heavy who makes others perspire — especially when he targets Ryan Gosling's silent but deadly wheelman after a heist goes awry. At least he has a brazen sense of humor as he dines on Chinese takeout in an Italian eatery.
The lauded performance arrives on the heels of another uncommon Brooks enterprise: 2030: The Real Story of What Happens to America, a scary futuristic novel that made best-seller lists and is out in paperback in January. Suddenly, this 64-year-old funnyman is hot. Hot enough to attract Oscar buzz again. Does he feel hot?
"Do I look feverish?" he jokes. "My neck itches. Listen, it comes and goes. The book was a great thing. It was a new field, and it happened to come this year with this cool movie. I spent two years writing a book, where most people I ran into thought I was dead. So it's nice to come back and say, 'I'm still living.'''
But hot? He says not. "My first Steve Allen show was in the fall of 1968," back when he was doing his live comedy act on TV. "So I don't think at this point those words apply anymore."
Brooks, who played an inept crook in 1998's Out of Sight, came up with a back story for brutal Bernie. "I don't think he has killed anyone in 30 years, and he's angry that he is forced to clean this whole thing up at the risk of his own life," he says. Has he ever met anyone who might be willing to kill? "I'm sure I have. I was working nightclubs for a long time."
Brooks' career has pretty much been at low tide since 2005, when his pseudo-doc Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World failed to find an audience. Since then, he was a voice in The Simpsons movie in 2007 and appeared on Showtime's Weeds in 2008.
But his earlier work made a lasting impression on director Nicolas Winding Refn, the 40-year-old Dane whose films (Valhalla Rising, Bronson) portray violence on an operatic scale. "I remember seeing Lost in America when I was young in the '80s, and I always liked him," says Refn. "I wanted Albert for Drive, but I never met him. So he came by my house, and I sensed he was such a powerhouse of emotions. He is like a volcano. And all my preconceived notions came true. But on top of that, I realized eventually this man will kill somebody — so let's do it in a movie."
There is a reason why Refn might have felt that way. According to Brooks. "He said something cute, that when he was younger and saw Lost in America, he got scared when I yelled at my wife. I scared a 14-year-old boy." The actor proceeded to scare him again — in person. "I pinned him up against the wall just to say, 'How violent do you want?' I just wanted to say, 'I'm strong enough to do what you need.' I don't think Nicolas has ever been in a fight in his life. I think all of his fights take place on-screen."
The Brooksian momentum continues next year with his role as Paul Rudd's father in Judd Apatow's untitled follow-up to his 2007 hit Knocked Up. What about his own kids, Jacob, who turns 13 in October, and Claire, who is 11?
Surely they are proud that he spoke for the father fish in Finding Nemo? "It's very low on what is important to them now," says Brooks, who has been married to artist wife Kimberly since 1997. "They love me and they are proud of me, but they're not thinking about my career."
His son was hoping that his dad's fame might be an advantage at school. "One of his teachers knows all of the movies, and he thinks that will give him a better grade. I said, 'It won't.'"

June 28, 2011 Community Event
Breast Health
Breast health and the importance of early detection was the topic when the Women's Health Project event was held June 28, from 5:30 to 7:30 in the Community Room at Crosswinds at Hudson. Using a Wheel of Knowledge game format, Rhonda Makoske, Director of Medical Imaging at Columbia Memorial Hospital, led participants in an interactive session in which they learned about when and how often women should get mammograms, the relationship between the risk for breast cancer and women's age, and the importance of early detection.
Attendees also had the opportunity to participate in a health resource fair and learn about healthcare services offered by the AIDS Council of Northeastern New York, Columbia County Community Healthcare Consortium, Columbia County Department of Health, Domestic Violence—Community Action, Independent Living, the Parent Support Group and REACH Program of the Mental Health Association of Columbia-Greene Counties, Upper Hudson Planned Parenthood, WIC (Women, Infants and Children)-Catholic Charities, and the Women's Health Project Taxi Voucher Program. In addition, participants were able to receive health screenings and counseling from the AIDS Council, to obtain immunizations through Columbia County Department of Health, and to obtain taxi vouchers from the Women's Health Project for rides within Hudson to and from Upper Hudson Planned Parenthood and Columbia Memorial Hospital for women's health services.
Women also had the opportunity to have a mammography screening at the beginning of the event, thanks to the Columbia County Community Healthcare Consortium's arranging for the Bellevue Mammography Van to be on hand.

The event was one of a series of free health events offered by the Women's Health Project, a community-based initiative of the Center for the Elimination of Minority Health Disparities at the University at Albany.

CM3 Flying The Flag For New Blue Peter Garden
CM3 Comments On Flying The Flag For The New Blue Peter Garden
Following the recent relocation of BBC services to the North West of England, the Blue Peter studios are now to be found in Salford, Manchester, where a new garden is currently being landscaped for Blue Peter by resident gardener Chris Collins. Sources say the garden will feature a bust of Petra, the show's first ever dog, as well as hand, foot (and paw) prints of the show's stars who featured in 1978 when the first Blue Peter garden was created.
"I remember the first garden," said a source at CM3, a firm based nearby in Manchester. "Blue Peter was responsible for getting me interested in nature and the environment, in weather and science. Blue Peter was responsible for educating a lot of kids in a more fun, more accessible way than school could and it's good to see that continuing today."
Blue Peter's editor Tim Levell told the BBC News: "We're really excited about being able to open up the garden so Blue Peter viewers can come along and visit – we wanted to make it as accessible to the public as possible."
The previous garden was located at Television Centre in London, where members of the public could only gain access during special tours of the Blue Peter studio. The new arrangement, however, comes following the show's move to Salford -along with BBC Sport, BBC One's Breakfast Programme and Radio 5 Live. The new garden is being planted in a landscaped area outside Dock House, and is due to be officially opened by Princess Anne on February 23rd.
"It's good that Blue Peter continues to take such a keen interest in our children's welfare," said the source at CM3, who has vowed to make sure his children will be taking notice of the current incarnation of the world's longest running children's programme. "In this age of video gaming and child obesity, it's good to see shows like Blue Peter doing so much to give children access to nature and a generally healthier lifestyle."

Putting all the eggs into one basket
Baseball's most indispensable players went head to head
last weekend, and the result was a dud. But that's pretty much how the season
has gone for Barry Bonds' San Francisco Giants and Jason Giambi's Oakland A's.
The defending champs in baseball's West divisions each
left Oakland a game under .500, groping and hoping to find a route back to the
In the three-game series, Bonds had one single and five
walks, Giambi a home run, a single and two walks. No teams are depending on
their single stars more than the Giants and A's. That, of course, is immensely
dangerous. Take either player out for an extended period and the team's season
is over. But it probably is anyway unless the supporting cast picks up the slack.
Bonds, and to a lesser extent Giambi, is producing offense
at a rate so far and above his teammates that he's easily the most indispensable
offensive player in the game today. We'll set aside the Pedro Martinez argument
the same one that annually pops up in the American League MVP voting
for the moment. No matter how good, pitchers remain an every-fifth-day
proposition. Even the best closers essentially make an every-third-day contribution.
The anointing of Bonds is based on a relatively simple
formula, maybe one that ought to be considered in MVP voting. If a player is
"most valuable to his team," then he is the one whose absence would have the
greatest effect. Other factors, such as the team's place in the standings, need
to be considered for MVP. After all, take a dominant player off a last-place
team and it still finishes last.
The simplest effective measure of a player's offensive
ability is on-base average plus slugging average. So, comparing any player's
on-base-plus-slugging with the overall team number should indicate the most
indispensable players. Through Sunday, 28 major leaguers had an OPS 200
or more points higher than the team average. Bonds' 1.371 total is 582 points
higher than the Giants' .789 team total. That's pretty much an off-the-charts
number for Bonds. Giambi, for comparison, ranks second in the majors with an
OPS 415 points higher than the A's as a team.
Based on that formula, here are the most indispensable
Barry Bonds, Giants 582
Jason Giambi, Athletics 415
Manny Ramirez, Red Sox 380
Luis Gonzalez, Diamondbacks 378
J.D. Drew, Cardinals 326
Sammy Sosa, Cubs 309
Cliff Floyd, Marlins 305
Todd Helton, Rockies 293
Lance Berkman, Astros 283
Albert Pujols, Cardinals 287
Ryan Klesko, Padres 275
Brian Giles, Pirates 272
John Vander Wal, Pirates 264
Vladimir Guerrero, Expos 262
Larry Walker, Rockies 257
Chipper Jones, Braves 252
Phil Nevin, Padres 252
Alex Rodriguez, Rangers 252
Troy Glaus, Angels 236
Rich Aurilia, Giants 222
Mike Sweeney, Royals 222
Sean Casey, Reds 215
Gary Sheffield, Dodgers 212
Carlos Delgado, Blue Jays 210
Jeromy Burnitz, Brewers 209
Fred McGriff, Devil Rays 205
Edgar Martinez, Mariners 204
Jose Valentin, White Sox 200
Only 23 teams are represented on the list. The Rockies,
Cardinals, Giants, Padres and Pirates are the clubs with two players. Not
having a player among the leaders could be a plus, meaning the team is less
dependent on one or two key contributors. The Yankees have thrived for the past
several years without a singular go-to guy. The defending champs are one of
the seven teams currently without anyone outpacing his team by 200 points. The
other teams are the Indians, Twins, Phillies, Orioles, Tigers and Mets.
So that bodes well for Cleveland, Minnesota, Philadelphia
and the Yankees in their division races.
This formula also adds to a growing discussion of individual
accomplishments in Seattle's fabulous season. Ichiro Suzuki consistently
has been the top-ranked Mariner in Baseball Weekly and USATODAY.com's Super
Power Rankings. Yet his .867 OPS is only 68 points above the team average. Meanwhile,
Edgar Martinez is 204 points higher, John Olerud 143 and Bret Boone 133. Martinez
is the crucial guy in the middle of the lineup, but he has the luxury of another
impact guy getting on base in front of him and two more batting behind him.
Bonds and Giambi can only wish they were so lucky.
A team for each borough?
Could the Marlins be looking in the wrong direction? How
about moving teams to cut into the economic advantage held by some of baseball's
Those are some intriguing but admittedly far-fetched possibilities
raised in a study by the online newsletter Demographics Daily. The publication
analyzed which teams would be the best candidates to move or fold, and what
areas could best support a big-league team.
The best candidate is New York. Demographics Daily
used a formula that includes the total personal income of a metropolitan area.
After calculating the amount needed to support a typical major league team in
that area, that amount was subtracted for any teams already in existence. What
was left from the total personal income of the area determined if a team could
be supported.
Though it's unfathomable that the Yankees or Mets would
stand for it, the New York area has enough available income to support 2.76
more teams. Seven other areas could add a franchise, including Los Angeles,
Boston and Philadelphia. Washington and Las Vegas also made the list but the
real surprise is West Palm Beach, Fla., which has the second-highest per-capita
income in the USA.
Among areas without a team, Washington makes it with the
most room to spare (1.3 teams).
Montreal tops the relocation list. Franchises were ranked
based on value of the team, years in business, average attendance, attendance
trends and market size. The Expos scored 69 (of 100), followed by Tampa Bay
(63), Minnesota (54), Florida (53) and Kansas City (51).

KC ARMY!!!!! I JUST LAUNCHED my kickstarter to fund my next album! I'm super excited and nervous!! here's the link http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kellycarvin/kelly-carvin-ep-and-music-video if you could pledge and or share w. your peeps that would be AWESOME!!!
Hey hey! Sorry I haven't written in awhile! Been pretty busy writing, playing and working on this kickstarter! Oh, did I tell you I'm going to be doing another kickstarter? I am hoping to launch it by the middle of May and hopefully will have a new CD out ASAP - with your help of course! I really want to make an EP for you guys, so part of the deal is certain backers actually have a say in what songs make the cut and wich ones wont. Ya'll will be called the "SONG SHAKERS" ohh ahhh! I am also going to be doing a music video with one of the best in the business if we reach our goal.
Anyway, just wanted to give you the heads up on that and see if you had any ideas (maybe some prizes you would like?) Here's a live performance of one of my new songs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jXPN0ybOwM. Pretty sure this one HAS to go on! It's called "What I'm Looking For". It's about being the best that YOU can be and not caring what that may be for someone else. That is the message I want to convey in my music. I'm doing great here in town! Working on some showcases, networking and becoming a better me! Thank you so much for your continued support.
-KC PS. Once the CD is done I'll be putting together some shows if your wondering when I will be playing near you! :)
So0oo0o where do I begin?? On my way here I get a phone call from John Perry (bass player for steel magnolia) who I met my last visit in Nashville via my friend Sara who I met here last time as well. He asks me if I can baby sit his Saint Bernard (150lbs) dog Greta for the week he is away with the band bc it was going to cost him so much money to put her in a kennel. I say sure! So, the plan was I was going to stay at Meg's house (the singer for steel mag) to watch Greta. Well, long story short - I pick up Greta the next day with Sara (mind you this is my SECOND day in Nashville) at Petsmart from just getting groomed. With in 30 minutes Greta was having trouble breathing and was acting weird.. in an hour she DIES in my backseat! We tried to rush her to the pet ER but it was too late! :( This kind of crazy sh!t only happens to me I swear! Most people's cars break down on their first move to Nashville, or their gear gets stolen.. me? Nope! Just WEIRD and very very sad!! :( John is heart broken and so is the band. I feel so bad... :( RIP Greta!!! Anyway, the city is AMAZING! There is so much to do and so much inspiration around every corner! The people I am living with are great (not in the industry) but super supportive and fun to be with! There are a TON of sexy musician boys :P but yes, I am focusing on KELLY and not no boys this time around *although they do call for some great inspiration... ** haha! Anway - that's about it for now! I am going to try to post something every week so stay tuned for more zaney stories!! My friend xtina says I need a reality TV show! -Kel
Hey guys, It's been a little while so it's time to catch up! The mini tour down south was awesome! We had a great time and got to spend 3 nights in Nashville, TN! I loved it there so much that I decided to go down for a whole month, possibly moving there depending on how it goes the month I am there (July 6th - August 6th). I figure I'll really get my feet wet and totally see what it's about in that time. 3 days certainly was not enough!
So, on that note I would LOVE to see you before I go! I am playing a FREE show tomorrow night!!! (SATURDAY JUNE 16th) for ART ALL NIGHT on the INDOOR stage at 4:45pm. 675 South Clinton Avenue, Trenton, NJ 08611. Parking is located at 640 South Broad Street.

CLICK HERE for additional INFO on the history of Art All Night (It's literally ALL night from 3pm Sat - 3pm Sun! )
I was also on the FRONT PAGE of the Trentonian! In promotion for Art All Night! You can get the article HERE!!
Other then that, I will be back in Jersey for the month of August for some shows and I'll let you know if I decide to make the move full blown! I'm pretty sure I am going to want to move there, but I don't want to jump the gun and say I am and then not end up going...
Are you on TWITTER? FOLLOW ME HERE!!
Enjoy your weekend and hope to see you at ART ALL NIGHT!!!
So, I made the first round of the voice but didn't make the second round. I feel like one day it will be funny that all these shows told me no.
I was kind of upset about it because I had such a good feeling about the show. I guess you don't always get what you want, you get what you need. The lady said "you have to work on your voice and your stage presence". I was taken back, but maybe I do need to work on it more. There is always room for improvement. I just KNOW I am going to watch that show this season and say "I can sing that better then her/him". But, it's a TV show, and as much as they say it's about the VOICE, it's about more then that. It's about what that ladies idea of a pop star was. Obviously the women who let me through saw that in me, but this one didn't. OH WELL!
Anyway, I just got out of the studio with Maureen Gallagher. I re recorded my song "revolution" for the 4th time tonight. I think I finally captured its magic the way I want to. I picture that song as a pop song that everyone can relate to. I hope it comes out that way. Maureen is creating a TV show called "The American Songwriter" and she wants my song to be the theme song. She has the same vision for it as I do, and I really enjoyed her guidance tonight in recording. She gave me a lot of spunk, ideas and love to help me get the right performance. Can't wait to hear the final version!
That's it for today. Write me back so I know you are reading this!! 3Kelly
The album is done! The CD Release is DONE! How exciting! I really am going to open myself up to the universe for good to come from all this hard work. I know that I have what it takes, and I know that with the right attitude I can and will go far.
I don't care about the money fame and fortune. I only want to share my art and love for what I do. I hope that when people hear this album they say "wow that girl is living the life she wants to! Maybe I can do that too!". That's all.
With that said, we have so much work to do!! We have to get this CD around the world! It will be on Itunes shortly and that is when I will really need some people power!
If you would like to help spread the music (because you genuinely WANT to and CARE to) Please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com or you can just send them to my website.
I love my life and I love you!!! 3 Thank you!!! -KC
ps, Stay tuned for more blogs!!
So, I made American Idol last year for the first try out, but this year I wasn't so lucky. It was a great experience though!! Thank you to everyone for your support! I encourage any singers out there to just go! It is a lot of fun! Random people all over singing together and having a blast! I heard someone say "I wish it was like this everywhere!" and I said "Like what? People singing together in every corner?" lol. I mean it was a little annoying sometimes because you had those people who were doing annoying warm ups and singing really loud in the corners. It's so funny though. The best are the people who can't sing at all. There was this one circle going on for hours. People would stand around and someone would go in the middle and sing the song they were gunna do. Even the people that sucked still were cheered for - just not as much as the other ones who were good. And then when everyone new the song they all sung together. I remember in one corner these kids were all singing harmonies to "Yesterday" it was really amazing. You could feel the amazing beauty in the air.
God I had fun! Everyone should go!!!

The Lonoke Jackrabbits took their final loss of the season to 2-4A foe Newport on Jan. 3, and finished the season with 18 straight wins on their way to winning the 4A state title to cap off their historic year with a 30-5 record.
The Wes Swift-led Rabbits grabbed No. 1 seeds in their district, regional and state tournaments. There were a number of close calls along the way, including a narrow 40-38 win over Stuttgart in the semifinals of the district tourney, not to mention a come-from-behind win over Newport to begin postseason play in the first round of the district tournament at Bald Knob.
Lonoke downed McGehee 72-63 in the first round of the state tournament in Dumas on Feb. 29 behind Bradley Spencers 13-of-15 performance at the free throw line in the fourth quarter. The Jackrabbits beat Arkansas Baptist 55-45 the following night to secure their spot in Hot Springs on March 7 in the 4A state championship game.
They faced a strong 23-8 Hamburg team in Spa City that day in a game in which neither team could ever pull away.
The pre-game talk was how the smaller Jackrabbits would fare on the glass against the physical Lions team, but Spencer answered those doubts by grabbing a career-high 15 rebounds. He also led scoring for Lonoke with 12 points, earning MVP honors.
It wasnt senior domination for the Jackrabbits on the year. Spencer and Tyrone Dobbins were the only two senior starters, and subs Tony Jackson and Amir Fleming were the remaining upperclassmen on the team.
The lineup was filled with the talented junior duo of Michael Howard and Clarence Harris, along with big freshman post Myles Taylor. Taylor has since departed for the Pulaski County Special School District, but Harris and Howard have returned to lead the defending state champs after a successful football season in 08.
Post player Jordan Lambert, better known to Lonoke fans as Juice, also returns as a senior this year to the Jackrabbits team, but will most likely be out until very late in the season recovering from a torn ACL suffered at the end of spring.
As impressive as the Jackrabbits were throughout the state tournament and the championship game, they also received a little bit of help from a panic-stricken Hamburg team in the waning moments. The Lions grabbed the lead just before the half, and held on until Howard made a pair of free throws with 3:44 left to play in the third quarter to put Lonoke up 26-25.
The game turned into a back-and-forth affair from there. The Jackrabbits finally grabbed the momentum with 4:07 left when Spencer turned one of his many defensive rebounds into a quick layup and also drew the foul, hitting the free throw to tie the game at 40 all.
Howard put the game away for good with 2:50 left to play, again from the foul line. The Lions had their chances down the stretch, but took rushed shots.
The game was decided when Hamburg shooting ace Javarus Curtis forced up a game-tying shot with 17 seconds left and drew nothing but air. Lonoke took possession and closed it out.
Spencer went on to sign with Division II contender Harding University. The 2007-08 Jackrabbits team was recently honored at the first home game of the year for the 08-09 Lonoke team, and was presented with their championship rings before the end of the school year in the spring.

|Temptation after defensive stops began in early '90s
The tradition of playing Temptation after defensive stops isn't even that old. It was instituted by then director Gary Lewis in either the '92, '93, or '94 season. I always thought he was inspired by the September '91 visit by Florida State & their band. Their tomahawk chop was, sadly, a little too popular in our stadium that day, but I think the arm motion that accompanied it inspired the current gesture. I even remember Mr. Lewis wanting to make sure that when non-playing members of the band as well as surrounding students made the gesture, it was with a closed fist, kind of like a "Hail!" but in slow motion.

I think the midday start and possibly frigid temperatures alone make this an unlikely scenario. Super Bowl and many bowl game performances of this grandure take place at night.
Also, given the time it would take for the set-up/tear-down of the stage, would the B10 even allow something like this?

5 week old feeding every 1-2 hours(12 Posts)
My 5 week old dd usually feeds for 10 minutes (exclusively bf) and wants to eat every 1-2 hours maximum, day AND night. Obviously this is exhausting and combined with her recent penchant for crying inconsolably for roughly 2 hours every night has me at my wit's end. I was wondering if this is normal and what, if anything, I can do about it.
She was quite small at birth (5lb50z) but has put weight on really well, she's up to a little over 7lb now, so I'm not worried about her not getting enough or anything like that. She's a happy little bunny and has been very active and alert recently. I'm just worried about my sanity! I only got around 4 hours of broken sleep last night and haven't slept for more than 2 hours at a go since she was born. I'm pretty much at the end of my tether now.
At my friend's suggestion, as often as I cba, I strip her to her nappy to try and get her to feed for longer. This has had limited success however and often it's not that she has fallen asleep on the boob, though she does do this most times, she just doesn't want to feed for more than 10 minutes.
At the suggestion of my bf counsellor, I have started expressing a bit before a feed as it seems I have very fast let down so she'd be getting more hind milk and hopefully filling up more on the good stuff. I have only done this a few times but each time it hasn't made any difference in that she still wanted to feed 1 hour later. This was particularly frustrating the times when she fed for 25 minutes so I went to bed hoping for a nice long sleep!
Having broken sleep at night isn't so bad when I can catch up a bit in the evenings when dp is home. So I go to bed but he brings her up after an hour, 2 if I'm lucky, because she's hungry and it feels like I've been asleep for 30 seconds!
She feeds 18 times a day on average for around 10 minutes. I am totally and utterly exhausted now.
So a few questions;
Presumably she will grow out of this eventually, when?! What can I do to get her to go longer between feeds and/or eat more with each feed?
If expressing the fore milk off first is the way to go, should I be doing this for every feed? Will it take a while to make any difference?
Do I just need to be tougher about keeping her awake during feeds? Sometimes even stripping her off and using a cold wet cloth on her won't keep her awake. And in the night I'm obviously delighted when she goes back to sleep cos it means I can too!
Is it too soon to start expressing so dp can do some feeds?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Hello Firsttime, congratulations. You might want to get this moved over to the section in Feed the World on Bottle and Breastfeeding. Lots of lovely people over there.
I'm no expert, but yes, sounds quite normal.
6 weeks, or there abouts, is a classic time for a massive growth spurt where you can end up feeding all day and all night!
You're doing an amazing job. And yes, it will get easier.
I wouldn't be bothering to express unless you are keen to give your little one a bottle of expressed milk. It's hard enough without having all the extra washing, sterilising and expressing.
Can you co-sleep at night? I found this so helpful as I could snooze while DD2 fed.
Hang in there.
I would suggest trying to stretch her out in the day a little by going for a walk maybe. just by 15 mins at a time and gradually spread that out. have you looked at the baby whisperer book? I found that really good. are you getting a good diet too as that's important to produce good milk. hearty meals like stews and jacket potatoes with beans and cheese etc. hope you get some rest soon. it is all worth it.
Hello dear friend
Echo all the advice above, including reposting on the B&BF topic, you should receive good advice there.
I'm sorry I have none to add. Sending you big love and hope you get some sleep tonight xx
I have a speedy feeder and a fast let down, and I worried about it. At five weeks, I think I was in a similar position to you, but by about 8/9 weeks, he was starting to go longer between feeds. I've never managed to extend his feeds (although he tended to have one or two long feeds per day, the rest about 8mins) - he just went to sleep, but it doesn't seem to have had much impact - his growth etc has been fine.
I mainly express once on the side with the most forceful let down first thing. It seems to help a little. Otherwise, I would keep an eye on nappies and growth and use these as your cues about milk. I've found that worrying about fore and hind milk has been a bit if a red herring. Your milk becomes more fat-laden as the feed goes on because of the way fat particles accumulate in your milk ducts (I'll look for the link I read about this on - it was really interesting). Does she cluster feed at all? This really got longer nights going for us, an exhausting early evening, but a decent block of sleep at night.
I don't have any good advice on expressing for a bottle feed. I've only just started providing an expressed bottle for when he's looked after by a friend while I work for a couple of hours. At 14 weeks this works fine, bit it's not a daily thing - so not comparable.
I disagree with Minime - diet doesn't make any difference really to the quality of your milk - unless you are virtually eating nothing over a long period of time, so don't worry about that. (See this article for more explanation)
I also wouldn't advise trying to make your dd wait for 15 minutes before feeding her! This kind of frequent feeding is the hardest thing to deal with when you are exhausted and still recovering from giving birth, but this phase doesn't last long. (Sorry, not helpful right now I know)
If you aren't already, then I would also recommend co-sleeping, or getting a sidecar cot so she is right next to you on your bed.
The foremilk/hindmilk thing doesn't quite work in the way your bf counsellor has implied. You really don't need to express off the "foremilk" in order for your dd to get the supposedly better "hindmilk". Kellymom has a good explanation of it.
I would think you'd be ok to express at 5 weeks for your partner to give a bottle of ebm as it sounds like you have a good supply. That might help give you a decent block of sleep.
Congratulations btw!
I was only offering advice my midwife gave me which helped me breast feed. everyone is different and my advice was only given in best intentions. I did get some good advice from my health visitor too so it might be worth chatting with them or other mums if you can make it to a baby group. wishing you all best OP and it will get easier.
Thanks for the replies, I'll repost there. I did look for a bf section, dur!
It's normal . She won't necessarily need to be eating for longer to sleep longer, it doesn't usually follow that way. With a bf baby I find that when they feed longer the end part of the feed tends to be the comfort feeding where they don't really take much milk.
My dd4 is 13 weeks on Friday and (I've been using an app to keep track!) averaged 7 mins per feed over the last 7 days, 1hr 32mins between feeds and 16 feeds a day. Now at first, she went the same overnight (hence me using the app so I could see) but now she will go 5-6 hours some nights which is bloody amazing! This has only happened over the past couple of weeks though and she does feed more close together during the day to make those average out but only short feeds.
I try to keep in mind that they drink for thirst and hunger so those few minutes of feeds can make the difference for them. I also have a fast let down which sprays everywhere so I know that feeling! I don't think it's too early for expressing, you sound established with feeding so it should be fine.
Hang in there, it does get easier and even if the feeding is close together it's needed. Oh and I had a c section this time which was really rough on me, first one and she was stuck inside me and they had to use forceps to get her out so it wasn't an easy delivery. 3 weeks after that I was diagnosed with 3 dvts and some other blood clots too so it's been a struggle, she's my 6th dc as well! Sadly dd2 was stillborn so we have 5 with us, 2 boys as well so no sleeping in the day as dd3 is 23 months old now.
One thing I find is that she sleeps a lot better after getting out and about, so the fresh air is really good for her sleeping
My 16 month olds still bf/bottle feed every 2-4 hours! So it's completely normal you're doing amazingly well.
I agree with other posters. Try asking your HV for advice
get her checked for Tongue Tie

text: Portland General Electric Company (NYSE:POR) today issued a request for proposals seeking power generating resources to help PGE comply with Oregon's renewable energy standard. "A growing percentage of the electricity we deliver to our customers comes from renewable resources," said Jim Lobdell, PGE's vice president for power operations and resource strategy. "This RFP will be an important step in meeting the state's renewable power goals, and together with our separate RFP for baseload and capacity resources will help solidify our ability to continue providing reliable, affordable power to our customers for years to come." The RFP seeks approximately 100 average megawatts of renewable power – enough to serve more than 83,000 typical PGE residential customers. Renewable generation resources must meet a minimum size of at least 10 megawatts, and can represent a variety of technologies including wind, geothermal, biomass, biogas, solar, and hydroelectric power. PGE may acquire a single resource or a mix of resources to achieve the total desired renewable energy target, and anticipates the resources acquired will be brought into the company's portfolio in the 2013-2017 timeframe. The utility circulated a draft of the RFP to stakeholders and potential bidders and held workshops before submitting the draft to the Oregon Public Utility Commission on July 25. Following OPUC staff and stakeholder comments, PGE submitted a revised draft on Sept. 10. The commission approved PGE's renewable resource RFP at a public meeting on Sept. 25. This RFP will be conducted pursuant to guidelines established by the OPUC and is a significant step in implementing PGE's current integrated resource plan. PGE issued a separate RFP earlier this year, seeking baseload energy resources as well as flexible and seasonal capacity resources. The company is currently evaluating the bids received, and expects to develop a short list of bids for negotiation by the end of November.
