Important: This migration guide was originally released in February 2008 and written for migration to the 2008-01-01 WSDL version. In April 2009, Amazon SQS released a new WSDL version (2009-02-01). If you haven't yet migrated to the 2008-01-01 WSDL version, we recommend you migrate directly to the 2009-02-01 version. This guide has been updated for migration to the 2009-02-01 version.
This migration guide is intended for all current Amazon SQS users who are using the 2006-04-01 or 2007-05-01 WSDL versions. Any users of those WSDL versions who want to continue using Amazon SQS after November 6, 2009, must migrate to version 2008-01-01 or 2009-02-01. To ensure that you have sufficient time to adapt your applications, Amazon SQS will continue to accept requests from WSDL versions 2007-05-01 and 2006-04-01 until November 6, 2009, but only if you have sent a message to one of your queues during the period of April 6 to May 6, 2009. If you haven't sent a message to one of your queues during that period, your access to the 2006-04-01 and 2007-05-01 WSDLs will be discontinued immediately as of May 6, 2009.
Further details and timing are covered in the subsequent sections.
Why the Change?
We took an in-depth look at how our customers were using Amazon SQS and explored whether there were opportunities to further lower costs for them. We found that our customers were primarily interested in whether we could reduce the overall cost to use Amazon SQS, especially in conjunction with Amazon EC2.
There are several factors that impact the cost of Amazon SQS, including the size of the message, the amount of time the message is in the queue, and the overall number of API calls to the service. We reengineered how we administer the service internally, deprecated some Amazon SQS actions, and adjusted some built-in limits so that we could reduce the cost to operate the service.
We are passing these savings on to our customers. We have changed the pricing model so that the price follows the costs of the service. Specifically, we eliminated the per-message cost and introduced a small request-based charge.
To get the benefit of the new price, you must use WSDL version 2008-01-01 or later.
New Price for Amazon SQS
This section describes the differences between the old and new price models.
Previous Price (for previous WSDL versions)
$0.10 per 1,000 messages sent ($0.0001 per message sent)
Data Transfer
$0.10 per GB—all data transfer in
$0.18 per GB—first 10 TB / month data transfer out
$0.16 per GB—next 40 TB / month data transfer out
$0.13 per GB—data transfer out / month over 50 TB
New Price (for the 2008-01-01 WSDL version and later)
$0.01 per 10,000 Amazon SQS requests ($0.000001 per request)
Data Transfer
Data transfer rates are unchanged. However, because many customers want to use Amazon SQS in conjunction with Amazon EC2, all data transferred between Amazon EC2 and Amazon SQS is free of charge.
Tips for Reducing Your Costs
Because the previous price model was message-based and not request-based, some Amazon SQS users designed their applications to poll for new messages at a very high frequency. With the new price model, you're charged $0.000001 for each request. We therefore recommend that when you update your application to use the 2008-01-01 or 2009-02-01 version, you also evaluate your application's polling efficiency. If a large percentage of your
ReceiveMessage requests return no messages, then you're probably polling too often.
To reduce the chance that you'll receive a message again that you've already processed, we recommend you promptly delete your messages after you're done processing them. Also, set the visibility timeout for the queue or message to a time sufficient to cover the processing and deletion of your messages.
Timing and Transition
New customers who sign up before May 6, 2009, can use any of the WSDL versions and will be charged according to the pricing model associated with the particular WSDL being used. After May 6, 2009, only the 2008-01-01 and 2009-02-01 versions are available to new customers.
Amazon SQS customers using the old WSDL versions have until November 6, 2009 to migrate to the 2008-01-01 or 2009-02-01 WSDL version. However, you must send a message to one of your 2006-04-01 or 2007-05-01 queues during the period of April 6 to May 6, 2009, in order to have that full migration period. If you have not sent a message to your queues during the April 6 to May 6 period, your access to the 2006-04-01 and 2007-05-01 WSDLs will be discontinued immediately on May 6, 2009.
To ensure you have sufficient time to adapt your applications, Amazon SQS will accept requests using the previous WSDL versions during the migration period. Requests using the new WSDL version will be charged according to the new pricing model, and requests using the previous WSDL versions will continue to be charged according to the previous pricing model. After November 6, 2009, Amazon SQS will only accept requests using version 2008-01-01 or 2009-02-01. At that point, your queues created with the previous WSDL versions will no longer be accessible with any WSDL version.
Queues created with the previous WSDL versions cannot be accessed with version 2008-01-01 or 2009-02-01, and queues created with version 2008-01-01 or 2009-02-01 cannot be accessed with the previous versions. During the migration period, you can use the previous WSDL versions to send requests to queues created with previous WSDL versions, and you can send requests using the new versions to queues created with the new versions.
Important: Queue names are unique for each Amazon SQS user, regardless of the WSDL version. In other words, you have a single namespace for your queues, regardless of which WSDL you use to create the queue. You must not create a queue with the 2008-01-01 or 2009-02-01 version that has the same name as a queue you created with a previous WSDL version.
However, when you request
ListQueues, the WSDL version you use for the request affects which queues are included in the response. Responses to a
ListQueues request using either the 2006-04-01 or 2007-05-01 WSDL include only the queues created with either of those WSDL versions, but not queues created using the 2008-01-01 or 2009-02-01 WSDL. Likewise, responses to a
ListQueues request using the 2008-01-01 or 2009-02-01 WSDL include only queues created with the 2008-01-01 or 2009-02-01 WSDL version. We did this because you can't perform 2008-01-01 or 2009-02-01 operations on a queue created with a previous WSDL version (and vice versa), and it might cause problems for applications to receive names of queues they can't act upon.
Changes to the AWS Account Activity Page
Starting in February 2008, your AWS Account Activity page began displaying information about requests you sent to the previous WSDL versions and requests you sent to the new versions.
The following table lists the items that are displayed in the Amazon SQS section of the AWS Account Activity page.
|New with 2008-01-01
|Number of requests (for the new request-based pricing in version 2008-01-01 and later)
$0.01 per 10,000 requests ($0.000001 per request)
|$0.10 per GB—all data transfer in
|$0.18 per GB—first 10 TB / month data transfer out
|$0.16 per GB—next 40 TB / month data transfer out
|$0.13 per GB—data transfer out / month over 50 TB
|Number of messages (for the old pricing deprecated on February 6, 2008)
$0.10 per 1,000 messages sent ($0.0001 per message sent)

Details of the Changes
Message Retention Time
In version 2009-02-01, the message retention time is now 4 days instead of 15 days. Amazon SQS now automatically deletes any messages that have been in your queues longer than 4 days.
Message Size
In version 2009-02-01, the maximum message size is now 8 KB instead of 256 KB for both Query and SOAP requests.
If you need to send messages to the queue that are larger than 8 KB, we recommend you split the information into separate messages. Alternately, you could use Amazon Simple Storage Service or Amazon SimpleDB to hold the information and include the pointer to that information in the Amazon SQS message.
If you send a message that is larger than 8 KB to the queue, you receive a
MessageTooLong error (HTTP status code 400).
Number of Messages Received
When you request
ReceiveMessage, you can specify the number of messages you'd like to receive, and Amazon SQS returns that number or fewer, depending on how many are available to be received from the queue at that moment. To make it clear that the number you've specified is the maximum number of messages Amazon SQS returns, we've changed the parameter name from
NumberOfMessages to
Also, we've changed the maximum value for this parameter from 256 to 10.
The following table shows a Query request for
ReceiveMessage with the old API and with the 2009-02-01 version.

Queues with No Activity
We reserve the right to delete a queue without notification if one of the following actions hasn't been performed against the queue for more than 30 consecutive days:
GetQueueAttributes, and
Visibility Timeout
Each queue has a default visibility timeout of 30 seconds. You can change that value for the entire queue, and you can set the visibility timeout for messages when you receive them without affecting the queue's visibility timeout. In version 2009-02-01, the maximum visibility timeout that you can specify for a queue or message has changed from 24 hours (86400 seconds) to 12 hours (43200 seconds). You can use the
ChangeMessageVisibility action to extend the message's timeout; however, the total visibility timeout for the message can't exceed 12 hours. For example, if the default visibility timeout is 1 hour, you can extend it by a maximum of 11 hours.
SetVisibilityTimeout and GetVisibilityTimeout
With the 2007-05-01 version of Amazon SQS, the
SetVisibilityTimeout and
GetVisibilityTimeout actions were deprecated in favor of the new
SetQueueAttributes and
GetQueueAttributes actions. In version 2009-02-01,
SetVisibilityTimeout and
GetVisibilityTimeout are no longer available.
In version 2009-01-01, the
PeekMessage action has been removed.
Typically, Amazon SQS users have used
PeekMessage to debug small systems—specifically to confirm a message was successfully sent to the queue or deleted from the queue. To do this with version 2009-02-01, you can log the message ID and receipt handle for your messages and correlate them to confirm when a message has been received and deleted. For more information about the receipt handle, see New Receipt Handle.
Access Control
In version 2009-02-01, the access control functionality has changed. The actions
AddGrant and
RemoveGrant have been replaced with the new actions
AddPermission and
RemovePermission. The
ListGrants functionality has been replaced with the
GetQueueAttributes action; you can get a list of the queue's permissions by getting the queue's attributes (specifically the attribute for the access control policy for the queue). The functionality has also been expanded, so you can specifically deny someone access to a queue, or restrict access based on conditions such as the date and time, the IP address of the requester, or whether the requester is using SSL.
The permissions you can grant have changed. You can now grant only these permissions:
GetQueueAttributes, or
* (which is the sum of all the preceding permissions). You can no longer grant someone full control permission on a queue (only you as the owner can have full control).
If you're using access control with the old APIs, there's no automatic migration of your grants to the new queues you create with the 2009-02-01 version. To manually migrate, you need to get the AWS account number for each person you want to grant permission to (the new access control system uses the AWS account number as the grantee's identifier instead of the e-mail address), and then recreate each permission on your new 2009-02-01 queues.
The new access control system also allows you to share a queue you own with anonymous users. Anonymous requests don't require an AWS Access Key ID or signature. Keep in mind that you as the queue owner are still responsible for all costs associated with requests and messages from anyone you share your queue with (be it anonymous or authenticated users).
New Receipt Handle
In previous API versions, when you sent a message to the queue, you received a message ID for that message. When you deleted the message, you had to provide the message ID. With version 2009-02-01, you still receive the message ID when you send the message to the queue. However, you also get a receipt handle when you receive that message from the queue later. This handle is a different identifier from the message ID. When you delete the message, you must provide the receipt handle instead of the message ID. Following is an example receipt handle.
Note: The receipt handle is associated with the act of receiving, not with the message itself. If you receive a particular message more than once, you get a different receipt handle each time you receive it. The message ID stays the same, however, and is returned each time you receive the message.
The following table shows a Query request for
DeleteMessage with the old API and with the 2009-02-01 version.

A consequence of this change is that you must always receive a given message before you can delete it. With previous APIs, you could recall a message from the queue (send a message and then delete it without ever receiving it); you can no longer do this.
New MD5 Digests
In version 2009-02-01, the response for both
SendMessage and
ReceiveMessage includes an MD5 digest of the non-URL-encoded message body string. You can use the digests to confirm that the message was not corrupted or changed during transmission to and from the queue. For information about MD5, go to http://faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1321.html.
The following table shows the old and new response for
SendMessage. For more information about the
ResponseMetadata element, see Change To Response Structure.

Type: String (32 characters)
|No change from the old API.
Type: String
Note: You can also optionally receive two attributes about the message: who sent it and when the message was put into the queue. For more information, see New Attributes.
Deprecation of ForceDeletion with DeleteQueue
With previous API versions, when you requested
DeleteQueue, the queue wasn't deleted if there were messages in it (instead you got an
AWS.SimpleQueueService.NonEmptyQueue error). However, you could specify the
ForceDeletion parameter to override that behavior, and your queue was deleted even if there were messages in it.
In version 2009-02-01, we've changed how
DeleteQueue works so that your queue is deleted regardless of whether it's empty. The
ForceDeletion parameter is no longer available.
The consequence of this change is that you can no longer use
DeleteQueue to determine if a queue is empty. Instead, we recommend that you use the
GetQueueAttributes action to retrieve the
ApproximateNumberOfMessages for the queue. Because of the distributed architecture of Amazon SQS, we do not have an exact count of the number of messages in a queue; the value we provide is our best guess. In most cases it should be close to the actual number of messages in the queue, but you should not rely on the count being precise. However, if this value remains at zero over a period of time, you can assume the queue is empty.
Unavailability of the REST API
With version 2009-02-01, the REST API is not available.
The Query API is similar to the REST API and includes all the same functionality. The following example shows a
CreateQueue request with the Query API.
http://queue.amazonaws.com/ ?Action=CreateQueue &QueueName=queue2 &AWSAccessKeyId=0GS7573JW74RZM612K0AEXAMPLE &Version=2009-02-01 &Expires=2009-02-02T12:00:00Z &Signature=Dqlp3Sd6ljTUA9Uf6SGtEExwUQEXAMPLE &SignatureVersion=2 &SignatureMethod=HmacSHA256
For comparison, here is an example REST request to create a queue.
POST /?QueueName=queue2 HTTP/1.1 Host: queue.amazonaws.com Authorization: 0GS7573JW74RZM612K0AEXAMPLE:Esdki4ll9ogJUV3Ad6tH1QEgpMREXAMPLE Content-Type: text/plain AWS-Version: 2007-05-01 Date: Mon, 21 May 2007 21:12:00 GMT
Following are the main differences you should be aware of when moving from REST to Query:
- Query uses only GET or POST. Query uses an
Actionparameter to indicate the action to perform. Query doesn't require the use of specific HTTP headers.
- The authentication information normally held in the
Authorizationheader for REST requests is split and passed in two parameters in the Query request: one for the Access Key ID and one for the signature.
- With Query, the signature is based on a different string. For REST, the string is formed from the request headers. For Query, the string is formed from the query parameters. Instructions on how to form the string and encode it are in the Amazon Simple Queue Service Developer Guide.
- Both Query and REST require a date in the request, but the required format is different. Query uses one of the ISO 8601 formats (e.g., 2009-04-08T21:12:00Z), whereas REST uses RFC1123 (e.g., Wed, 08 Apr 2009 21:12:00 GMT).
- With REST, when you send or receive messages from a queue, you append
/frontto the end of the queue URL corresponding to whether you're sending or receiving messages. With Query, this is not necessary.
Amazon SQS returns the same errors for Query that it did for REST.
Change to Format of Queue URL
In version 2009-02-01, the format of the queue URL has changed. It now contains your AWS account number. For example, if your account number is 123456789012, and you have a queue named queue1, the queue URL is
http://queue.amazonaws.com/123456789012/queue1. We recommend that you always store the entire queue URL as it is returned to you by SQS when you create the queue. Don't build the queue URL from its separate components each time you need to specify the queue URL in a request; we could change the components that make up the queue URL, as we have done with the 2009-02-01 version.
Change to CreateQueue
With previous API versions, if you tried to create a queue that had the name of an existing queue, and you also provided a visibility timeout value different from that of the existing queue, you didn't get an error. The request succeeded and the queue URL of the existing queue was returned to you.
In version 2009-02-01, this same request returns the error
AWS.SimpleQueueService.QueueNameExists (HTTP status code 400).
Change to Response Structure
In version 2009-02-01, the structure of the response has changed. Both successful responses and error responses have new structures.
Successful Responses
In version 2009-02-01, if the action returns action-specific data, the main response element has a child element named
ActionNameResult. For example, the
CreateQueue action returns a queue URL, and therefore it has a
CreateQueueResult element that wraps the queue URL data in the response. See the following examples. The Amazon SQS schema shows the exact structure of the response for each action.
Also, with previous API versions, a successful response included a
ResponseStatus element. In version 2009-02-01, this element has been replaced with a
ResponseMetadata element, which has different contents.
|Old API
<ResponseStatus> <StatusCode/> <RequestId/> </ResponseStatus>
|Version 2009-02-01
<ResponseMetadata> <RequestId/> </ResponseMetadata>
The following table shows an example of a successful
CreateQueue response with the old API and with the 2009-02-01 version.

Error Responses
With previous API versions, an error response had a
Response element. In version 2009-02-01, this element has been replaced with an
ErrorResponse element, which has different contents.
|Old API
<Response> <Errors> <Error> <Code/> <Message/> </Error> </Errors> <RequestId/> </Response>

Change to Attributes Structure
SetQueueAttributes action and the
GetQueueAttributes action let you set and get the available attributes for queues.
With previous API versions, when you called
GetQueueAttributes, you could specify the particular attribute to get using the
Attribute parameter. In version 2009-02-01, this parameter's name has changed to
AttributeName. The following table compares a Query request with the old API with version 2009-02-01.
|Old API
http://queue.amazonaws.com/A29E9VSPHGOG23/queue2 ?Action=GetQueueAttributes &Attribute=VisibilityTimeout &AWSAccessKeyId=0GS7553JW74RRM612K02EXAMPLE &Version=2007-05-01 &Expires=2007-05-12T12:00:00Z &Signature=Dqlp3Sd6ljTUA9Uf6SGtEExwUQEXAMPLE

Also in version 2009-02-01, the structure for attribute data has changed slightly. With the old API, you used an
AttributedValue data structure to set an attribute's value, and Amazon SQS used that same structure when returning the queue's attributes in a
GetQueueAttributes response. In version 2009-02-01, that data structure is called
Attribute, and it has different child elements than the
AttributedValue element. The following table compares the data structure in the old API with version 2009-02-01.
|Old API
<AttributedValue> <Attribute/> <Value/> </AttributedValue>
|Version 2009-02-01
<Attribute> <Name/> <Value/> </Attribute>
The following table compares Query requests for
SetQueueAttributes with the old API and with version 2009-02-01.

In version 2009-02-01, the structure of the response for
GetQueueAttributes has changed. Also, there are additional attributes you can get (for more information, see New Attributes).
|Old API
<GetQueueAttributesResponse> <AttributedValue> <Attribute/> <Value/> </AttributedValue> <ResponseStatus> <StatusCode/> <RequestId/> </ResponseStatus> </GetQueueAttributesResponse>
|Version 2009-02-01
<GetQueueAttributesResponse> <GetQueueAttributesResult> <Attribute> <Name/> <Value/> </Attribute> </GetQueueAttributesResult> <ResponseMetadata> <RequestId/> </ResponseMetadata> </GetQueueAttributesResponse>
The following table shows an example response for

New Attributes
As of version 2009-02-01, you can get two new attributes related to the queue's creation and modification times:
LastModifiedTimestamp (both in UNIX milliseconds timestamp format). You can also set and get the
Policy attribute, which is a JSON document listing the access control permissions on the queue.
You can also get two new attributes related to the message:
SenderId (which returns the AWS account number of the person who sent the message, or the IP address if the request was anonymous), and
SentTimestamp (when the message was put into the queue, in UNIX milliseconds timestamp format).
The following is an example
ReceiveMessage request that gets the two attributes.
http://queue.amazonaws.com/123456789012/queue2 ?Action=ReceiveMessage &MaxNumberOfMessages=5 &VisibilityTimeout=15 &AttributeName.1=SenderId &AttributeName.2=SentTimestamp &AWSAccessKeyId=0GS7553JW74RRM612K02EXAMPLE &Version=2009-02-01 &Expires=2009-02-02T12:00:00Z &Signature=Dddr3Sd6ljTUA9Uf6SGt8hl2UQEXAMPLE &SignatureVersion=2 &SignatureMethod=HmacSHA256
The following is an example response.

Changes to Request Authentication
Query Requests
In version 2009-02-01, signature version 0 is no longer supported for Query requests, and signature version 1 is deprecated. Signature version 2 is the recommended version. In your Query requests, you must set the parameter
SignatureVersion to
2, and set the new
SignatureMethod parameter to either
HmacSHA1 or
HmacSHA256 to indicate the particular HMAC-SHA algorithm you're using. The Amazon Simple Queue Service Developer Guide has all the details about how to form signatures using signature version 2.
SOAP Requests
You must now use HTTPS when sending all SOAP requests.
Also, you must now provide the authentication information in the SOAP header, using the namespace
http://security.amazonaws.com/doc/2007-01-01/. It is no longer accepted in the SOAP body. The authentication information includes elements for
Timestamp, and
Signature. Following is an example request showing the information in the SOAP header.
<?xml version="1.0"?> <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap-envelope" soap:encodingStyle="http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap-encoding"> <soap:Header xmlns:aws="http://security.amazonaws.com/doc/2007-01-01/"> <aws:AWSAccessKeyId>1D9FVRAYCP1VJS767E02EXAMPLE</aws:AWSAccessKeyId> <aws:Timestamp>2008-02-02T12:00:00Z</aws:Timestamp> <aws:Signature>SZf1CHmQnrZbsrC13hCZS061ywsEXAMPLE</aws:Signature> </soap:Header> ... </soap:Envelope>
Base Service Name for the WSDL
In the 2009-02-01 WSDL, the base name of the service has changed. Specifically,
QueueService has changed to
QueueServiceBinding and
MessageQueue has changed to
MessageQueueBinding. Because the generated code from the 2009-02-01 WSDL uses these new names, you'll need to change any code you have that uses the generated code.

I spent many years living in South Florida, where aside from meeting healthy green iguanas on my patio, I truly tasted mangoes for the first time. Coming from non-tropical New England where I grew up I'd thought I knew how a fresh mango was to eat – mushy, stringy and overwhelmingly musky-tasting – not very sexy. It wasn't until a co-worker of mine in Miami brought me some drippingly sweet, ripe mangoes from the huge tree that grew over her backyard that my thoughts about mangoes were completely turned around.
I don't live anywhere near a mango tree these days, but at least better-tasting mango varieties that can stand up to travel are making their way into our markets. I love the Ataulfo or Champagne mangoes that are in season right now. They are virtually fiber-free and have the perfect ratio of sweet to tangy.
I enjoy making a meal out of salad, but dinner for me cannot be just a bowl of plain greens. I seared some super-fresh sea scallops briefly on the grill along with some mango, and drizzled it all with a sweet-tart lime dressing – this is a great summer dinner.
Scallop Salad with Lime and Grilled Mango
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon agave nectar or honey
- Pinch cayenne pepper
- Salt
- 16 large dry-packed sea scallops
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 3 small, ripe mangoes (such as Ataulfo)
- 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
- 4 cups baby spinach leaves
- ½ head radicchio, thinly sliced
- 1 avocado, pitted, peeled and diced
- 4 scallions, root ends trimmed and chopped
- Whisk together the lime juice, agave, cayenne and ¼ teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Pat the scallops dry with a towel; sprinkle both sides with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Stand each mango stem side up on a cutting board with the wider sides facing away from you; slice off the two "cheeks" on either side of the stem, cutting close to the pit – you should have 6 pieces (save the remaining mango flesh for another use); peel each piece and slice in half lengthwise.
- Heat a heavy skillet, preferably with ridges, over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon butter or oil to the pan. Arrange the mango slices in the pan and cook for a few minutes on each side, just until browned. Remove and set aside.
- Add the remaining tablespoon butter or oil to the pan; add the scallops and sear until they're nicely browned, 2-3 minutes per side. Pour in the lime juice mixture and turn off the heat, swirling to blend the juices.
- Arrange some spinach, radicchio and avocado on each of 4 plates. Top each serving with 4 scallops and 4 mango slices; drizzle with the pan juices and sprinkle with the scallions.
Shrimp would be a perfect substitute for scallops.

Medications to Relieve the Pain From Osteoporosis
My mother is 86 years of age, has had open heart surgury and is on medication for that (if its a help I can give you the name of her tablets) but she suffers from chronic back pain due to osteoporosis and is finding walking a struggle and is a little breathless. She is prescribed calcium tablets daily and takes the once a week tablet, which unfortunately I cannot name at present. Is there any other medication she could be prescribed. Her Doctor just says keep taking paracetomls. She lives on her own and has morning care for personal health reasons. She says she feels very well apart from this pain. It seems such a shame when recovering from open heart surgery and C.Diff that she now suffers with chronic back pain. Please can you send advice?
It may be time for your mother to see a pain specialist. Osteoporosis medications do not do much for pain.

Law Foundation of Silicon Valley and the Western Center on Law and Poverty wrote a March 6 letter protesting a proposal by the Jisser family, which owns the property on 3980 El Camino Real, and developer Prometheus Real Estate Group to build luxury apartments. The proposal, the letter states, would displace hundreds of the residents and "wreak havoc" on the community of Buena Vista, a 117-unit mobile-home park on El Camino Real that has been providing affordable housing since the 1950s.
The proposal would convert the park, located near Los Robles Avenue in the Barron Park neighborhood, into a 187-unit housing complex. While local law requires the city to try to identify "comparable" housing for the displaced residents and pay reasonable relocation costs, the letter from the law firm argues that this could be next to impossible without residents having to move to a distant location.
"Being forced to move from the Park will create a considerable hardship for the residents," the letter states. "Most residents will not be able to afford to live anywhere else in Palo Alto, one of the most expensive places in the country to live, without significant housing subsidies or other assistance."
The letter argues that because the city is "significantly involved" in the closure of Buena Vista, it can be considered a "displacing agency" under the California Relocation Assistance Act. The city, the letter notes, has been facilitating community meetings on the project and helping Prometheus find a relocation specialist and appraiser. The city's involvement, the letter states, makes residents eligible for benefits under the CRAA, which applies to projects "undertaken by a public entity." This includes "significant relocation benefits, including the purchase of a comparable home."
The law firms also argue that closing the park would "wreak havoc in the lives of its residents in less tangible ways" by severing the ties that have formed between neighbors and eliminating what has become a "distinct community" in Palo Alto.
The conversion would also exacerbate Palo Alto's already severe shortage of affordable housing, the law firms argue, and would run contrary to the city's housing element, its official vision document for housing. It urges the city to deny efforts to convert the mobile park or, failing that, to only approve the project if it's consistent with the CRAA and the city's ordinance.
"The closure of Buena Vista Mobile Home Park would be nothing short of catastrophe for many of its residents, and it would cause the loss of an important source of affordable housing in one of the country's most expensive cities," the letter co-signed by attorneys from the two firms states.
The proposal to convert Buena Vista to an apartment complex has created a swell of anxiety and opposition among the park's residents, about 30 of whom attended a City Council meeting in October to urge the council to oppose the project. Several said the displacement would have a particularly harsh impact on their children, who would no longer be able to attend Palo Alto schools. Residents from the surrounding Barron Park neighborhood, school volunteers and affordable-housing advocates have been critical of the Prometheus proposal and have formed working groups in recent months to consider ways to help the roughly 400 Buena Vista residents.
While the council has yet to discuss the project, the city's Human Relations Commissions passed a resolution on Feb. 28 calling for the city to make "every effort" to help displaced residents relocate somewhere in Palo Alto. The commission also urged the school district to allow children of Buena Vista residents to continue to attend local schools and ensure that no residents become homeless because of this project.
The proposed conversion comes at a time when the city is struggling to meet regional mandates for affordable housing. While the city has about 600 rent-controlled units, they are all occupied and have long waiting lists. Buena Vista residents pay between $800 and $1,300 in monthly rent.
While the mobile park lies on private property, the city has some leverage when it comes to the Prometheus proposal. The conversion of the mobile park to an apartment complex would require a zone change by the City Council to allow greater density at the site. Such a zone change would run counter to at least one provision in the city's Comprehensive Plan, the official land-use bible.
The Comprehensive Plan states that "to the extent feasible, the city will seek appropriate local, state and federal funding to assist in preservation and maintenance of the existing units in the Buena Vista Mobile Home Park."

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- At just the midway point of his collegiate career, 19-year-old big man Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) is already establishing himself as one of the elite players in the history of Green Bay men's basketball.
The 7-foot-1 Brown has been a consistent force on both ends of the court during his first two seasons, accumulating more blocked shots (156) and rebounds (425) than any Green Bay player through his sophomore year while pouring in the fourth-most points (739) through a sophomore season in the Division I era.
Brown turned in one of the school's most successful sophomore campaigns in 2011-12, shattering the program's single season (89) and career (156) blocks records while leading the Phoenix in points (13.8) and rebounds (8.2) and ranking among the league's best in several statistical categories. For his efforts, Brown was a First-Team All-Horizon League pick, becoming the first Phoenix sophomore to receive first-team honors since Jeff Nordgaard in 1993-94, and was also named to the NABC All-District 12 Second Team.
To watch a recent video feature on Brown's impressive sophomore year, click here.
Brown earned All-Newcomer honors as a freshman in 2010-11 after starting all 32 games, averaging 10.2 points per contest and setting his original single season blocks record of 67.
Below is an in-depth look at Brown's first two seasons by the numbers:
156 - Brown's career blocks total after just 62 games in a Phoenix uniform. Brown passed former Green Bay standout Terry Evans (132 from 2005-09) on the career blocks list when he rejected a pair of shots against Milwaukee on Feb. 4.
89 - Brown's single season blocks total in 2011-12, breaking the previous school record of 67 that he set during his freshman campaign. His 89 rejections nearly doubled the record of 47 that stood before he arrived on campus.
18 - Years since a Phoenix sophomore earned first-team all-conference honors. Brown was a First-Team All-Horizon League selection this season, the first Green Bay sophomore to earn such honors since Jeff Nordgaard in 1993-94.
739 - Number of points Brown has scored through his first two seasons at Green Bay. The total ranks fourth in school history through a player's sophomore campaign in the Division I era, trailing only Tony Bennett (1,015 in 1988-90), Richard Sims (858 in 1983-85) and Mike Schachtner (812 in 2005-07).
413 - Total points scored by Brown in his sophomore season. Only Nordgaard, Bennett and Schachtner scored more as sophomores since the program turned Division I in 1981.
425 - Rebounds grabbed by Brown in his first two seasons, the most by a Phoenix player through a sophomore campaign in the Division I era and third most in school history.
9 - Brown's national ranking in blocks per game in 2011-12. The sophomore finished the season tied for ninth in the NCAA with 2.97 swats per contest.
11 - Number of shots Brown blocked in Green Bay's 57-56 win over Wright State at the Resch Center on Jan. 15. The 11 swats were the most by any Division I player in a single game this season and broke the Horizon League, school and facility records for most blocks in a game.
1,000 - Number of Alec Brown bobbleheads given away to fans at the Resch Center against Milwaukee on Feb. 4.
142 - Led by Brown, the number of blocks the Phoenix recorded in 2011-12, breaking the school record of 119 set the previous season.
41 - Number of double-figure scoring efforts by Brown in his 62 career games. Brown reached double-digits 23 times as a sophomore in 2011-12 and 18 times during his freshman campaign - including in each of his final six contests.
10 - Brown ranked in the top 10 in multiple Horizon League statistical categories in 2011-12, including first in rebounding (8.4), second in blocks (3.2), sixth in scoring (13.9) and seventh in free throw percentage (76.1).
54 - Number of games out of 62 in which Brown has recorded at least one block. Brown blocked at least one shot in 27 of 30 games in 2011-12 and had four or more blocks in 10 games.
32 - Number of games started (32-32) by Brown in 2010-11, the second most starts by a Phoenix freshman. Brown was also the only player to start every game for Green Bay that season.
325 - Total points scored by Brown as a freshman, the most by a Phoenix rookie since Chris Sager scored 331 in 2000-01.
1 - Brown was the first recruit signed by head coach Brian Wardle, who will begin his third season in 2012-13.
85 - Standing 7-foot-1, Brown is 85 inches tall - the tallest player to ever wear a Green Bay uniform.
20 - Brown will not turn 20 until late July, meaning all of the above accomplishments happened during his teenage years.

The National Trust's Lacock Abbey has been home to nuns, a Tudor crook and, in the 1800s, photographic pioneer William Henry Fox Talbot.
This May half-term, families can discover more about Fox Talbot's botanical interests and discoveries on an interactive self-led trail called 'The pencil of nature'.
From Saturday to Monday, June 1, families are invited to experience the trail that will take them on an adventure through Lacock Abbey's woodlands.
Children will be able to learn about Fox Talbot's love of nature and discover how photographs were made before digital cameras.
The installations have been designed by Wiltshire based artist duo Mother Courage, a visual arts company, created by Dan Smith and Magdalena Francke.
They focus on creating interactive, educational and fun initiatives that celebrate community and our connection with the natural world.
"Lacock is a wonderful location for our work" said Magdalena Francke from Mother Courage.
"We've really enjoyed exploring the Fox Talbot story and creating installations that celebrate his photographic achievements in connection with an inspiring fascination with botany."
"We think the installations will be quite a spectacle", said Claire Selman, Visitor Experience Assistant at Lacock Abbey.
"We're really pleased with Mother Courage's artistic response to the abbey's photographic past and believe they will be a fantastic way for children to learn about photography, as well as being a photo opportunity in itself."
This is a special year for Lacock Abbey as it marks 175 years since the announcement of the world's first photographic negative, which was produced by William Henry Fox Talbot from a window in the abbey.
The trail is just one element of the celebration, with the opening of brand-new introduction displays in the Fox Talbot Museum in April and the opening of exciting new interpretation in the abbey, which will bring to life Talbot's time there, this summer.
Normal National Trust admission charges apply to experience 'The pencil of nature' interactive trail. NT members and under five admitted free.

11 July 2012
In a move that should surprise no one, the Tigers optioned relief pitcher Jose Ortega back to Toledo on Monday. The team had been carrying an extra pitcher for the final six days of the season after Max Scherzer was bumped back from a start due to hamstring soreness. Duane Below filled the role of the nominal starter on July 3 in what amounted to a bullpen start.
The organization hasn't yet announced a corresponding move (the active roster sits at 24 players), but my money is on Danny Worth returning to the big leagues to re-establish the balance of 13 position players and 12 pitchers. Worth was optioned (along with reliever Luis Marte) to make room for Ortega and Darrin Downs back on July 3. Players optioned to the minor leagues aren't eligible to be recalled for 10 days (unless they're being used as a replacement for a player that goes on the disabled list), so an official move won't be able to be made until Friday July 13 (in time for the opening of the second half of the season).
Worth has played six games since being sent down this time around and has put up a slash line of .261/.346/.435. He's reached base safely in all six games. For the season, Worth has recorded a .902 OPS over 100 triple-A at-bats, but none of that success has translated to the major leagues where his season OPS sits at just .470.
The only other position player options currently on the 40-man roster are outfielder Avisail Garcia (who was only recently promoted to AA), second baseman Hernan Perez (who's been struggling to hit in A-ball), and catcher Bryan Holaday. Other candidates to be added to the active roster include Andy Dirks, who appears to still have at least a couple weeks of recovery ahead of him, or a non-40-man roster player such as AAA outfielder Ben Guez.
I wouldn't mind seeing Guez get an opportunity to do something in the big leagues, but with Quintin Berry solidifying himself in the lineup, Delmon Young's power surge, and Brennan Boesch kinda sorta maybe starting to hopefully break out of his slump, the Tigers probably aren't looking at shaking things up with respect to corner outfield spots at the moment.

Note: First Looks give previews of new drinks and menus we're curious about. Since they are arranged photo shoots, we do not make critical evaluations or recommendations.
"All of our food items are intended to be paired directly with our cocktails, wine, and beer," explains Sother Teague, the creative force behind the cocktails at the new Cobble Hill spot Bergen Hill. "The food came first—Chef [Andrew D'Ambrosi] brought me every dish to try and I put my brain to work making drinks designed around them. The intention is to eventually link every dish to its appropriate cocktail on the menu."
In many cases, the cocktails don't just draw inspiration from their counterparts on the raw fish-centric menu, they actually share ingredients with them. The ponzu and togarashi featured in the hamachi crudo, for example, reappear as a ponzu syrup and togarashi sugar rim in the Meiji Collins. Shrimp stock used in the shrimp ceviche finds a home in the savory, Michelada-inspired Ecuadorian Beer. There are less literal interpretations as well: A trio of smoky spirits in the Char No. 8 are meant to mimic the cooking preparation of its food pair, charred octopus.
Teague is a former chef who will continue his role as head bartender at Amor y Amargo in the East Village (also owned by Ravi DeRossi, along with Death & Co., Mayahuel, Gin Palace, and others). He's quick to note that this new venture is intended to be both a restaurant and a bar. "We're tiny, we have 16 seats at the bar, some seating in the banquettes, and a little standing room. Everything is done in front of you. We want the experience between the food and the drinks to make sense together."
Head over to the slideshow a look at some of Teague's new cocktails at Bergen Hill »

SHEPHERDSVILLE - The Bullitt County Board of Ethics could be made up of the same three individuals. Or, then again, there could be new board members.
Bullitt Fiscal Court voted unanimously to approve a new code of ethics ordinance.
But, because of that, the court members will have to go through the appointment of a new board, which is similar to what was discussed when the Bullitt County Economic Development Authority ordinance was proposed.

'Botched' process wrongly denies Sandy aid to hundreds in N.J.
New Jersey lawmakers are responding angrily to a report showing that aid was wrongly denied to hundreds of Sandy victims.
Almost 80 percent of the thousands of homeowners who filed appeals were found to have been wrongly denied grant money to help rebuild and elevate their homes, according to information the Fair Share Housing Center obtained from the Christie administration.
That's an embarrassment, said Senate President Steve Sweeney.
"The money should be out. People's lives should be restored. It would help our economy. It would actually help the economy by getting the money out," he said Thursday. "So it's hard to describe how frustrating it is that this program has been botched as much as it has been."
Assemblyman Chris A. Brown said he's been working with Sandy victims in Atlantic County to make sure they get the aid they were entitled to under the program.
"Learning that there's 80 percent of those who applied were wrongly denied is certainly concerning to me. Obviously we have to give them a fair opportunity and make sure that they're treated fairly," said Brown, R-Atlantic.
The high rate of those found ineligible was due to FEMA providing inaccurate damage assessment data, according to the state Department of Community Affairs.
Sweeney is joining U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell, D-N.J., in calling for the state to reopen the application process for the Reconstruction, Rehabilitation, Elevation and Mitigation program.

Did you leave your shoes at lego land?
Hi, found a pair of shoes today at lego land. Looked like they might have been blown off the wall by the howling wind, or maybe stolen by the baboons? If they're yours give me a shout. Cheers, Kat.
Re: Did you leave your shoes at lego land?
If they are a pair of purple and yellow Saltics with velcro and a big patch on the one toe, they are mine. The last time I used them was at Legoland, and they've been missing since then. They might be a bit rotten, so sorry up front for having to deal with the smell. I would love to have them back, since they are awesome shoes. Gerhard
Re: Did you leave your shoes at lego land?
Hey Gerhard, that's the ones! Sorry for the late response - I've been away for a while. I knew they'd be someone's old favourites . No worries about the smell, that kind of comes as standard with rock shoes, and they're no way near as bad as mine! Give me a bell and we'll work out the best way to get them back to you (073 819 4870). K

What is the best way to describe a show that opens with a jungle's worth of gazelles, antelope, birds, lions, zebras, and a 13-foot-long elephant, parading down the aisles to the beat of African drums?
"Extraordinary" is the first word that comes to mind. Followed by "astounding, impressive, astonishing and awe-inspiring."
While the characters and storyline adhere to the Disney film of the same name, "The Lion King" is definitely not a typical musical based on an animated film. Far from it.
FYI: "The Lion King" is playing at the Detroit Opera House, 1526 Broadway St., Detroit, through March 10. Performances are 7:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, 1 and 6:30 p.m. Sundays (no evening performance March 10), and 2 p.m. Saturdays. There is a 1 p.m. matinee on Thursday, March 7. Tickets start at $25 at the Fisher Theatre box office, the Detroit Opera House box office, and Ticketmaster. Visit www.BroadwayinDetroit.com or www.ticketmaster.com or call 800-982-2787. For group sales, email email@example.com or call 313-871-1132. For more information, www.BroadwayinDetroit.com or 313-872-1000.
Under the ingenious direction of Julie Taymor, who also designed the incredible costumes, the stage production takes full advantage of all live theater has to offer: stunning choreography, dazzling sets, gorgeous colors, authentic music, indigenous dialogue in six African languages and virtually hundreds of amazing puppets, masks and some of the most inventive costumes in theater history.
The opening number alone is enough to cause jaws to drop and eyes to pop, but the enchantment doesn't stop there. Watching this show is like partaking in a theatrical banquet, where every scene is a specially prepared course created to delight the senses and stir the emotions. The multidimensional wildebeest stampede and the grasslands scene, where actors wearing headdresses made from more than 60 pounds of real grass assemble in rows, are but two examples of the remarkable imagination that infuses every minute of this show.
It is fitting that Taymor served as both director and costume designer for the original Broadway production, since the costumes and masks are such an integral part of the characters and the show as a whole. One of the many unique aspects of this musical is the way the masks and costumes do not hide the human beings who wear them. The audience is meant to experience the duality of human and animal qualities each character possesses. The assortment of creatures is mind-boggling, ranging in size from 18-foot giraffes, which stand at the edge of the stage and bow down to greet those seated in the front row, to the 6-inch shadow puppet mouse at the end of Scar's cane.
Such splendid costumes and stunning scenery require solid acting to make it all work, and this production delivers on that score as well. Dionne Randolph plays Mufasa, king of the jungle, with Timothy Carter as Scar, his sardonically evil brother. Jelani Remy and Syndee Winters play the grown-up version of childhood playmates Simba, Mufasa's son, and Nala, the lioness, as they reunite to face off against the malevolent Scar and restore Pride Rock to its former majesty.
As in many Disney tales, the protagonist's sidekicks are often the most colorful characters, and "The Lion King" is no exception. Simba's companions-in-exile, gaseous warthog Pumbaa (Ben Lipitz) and Timon the meerkat (Nick Cordileone) provide comic relief, as does Zazu (Mark David Kaplan), the witty and somewhat hyper hornbill who loyally serves Mufasa. Buyi Zama, who portrays shamanistic mandrill and narrator Rafiki, displays her powerful singing voice in the opening number, "Circle of Life," and the emotional song "He Lives in You."
The musical score combines the original Elton John and Tim Rice favorites from the movie, with additional songs written for the stage by Taymor, Lebo M, Mark Mancina, Jay Rifkin and Hans Zimmer. The book, adapted from the movie screenplay, is by Roger Allers and Irene Mecchi.
By the time intermission comes, it is obvious why "The Lion King" swept the 1998 Tony Awards following its Broadway opening, winning Best Musical, Best Direction and Best Costume Design, and why it continues to thrill audiences of all ages across the world.
By the final curtain call, which, even with a running time of close to three hours, still comes too soon, it is clear that something spectacular has just happened: This is theater magic in the truest sense of the word.

Diane von Furstenberg Review | Fashion Week Fall 2013
Diane von Furstenberg Fall 2013
Diane von Furstenberg made her name as a designer in the '70s with her iconic wrap dress, and for Fall 2013, she returned to her roots, opening her show with a printed version of her iconic dress. With pulsating disco on the soundtrack, DVF was filled with slinky jersey dresses, colorblocked jumpsuits, halter dresses, and more pieces that could have felt as at home at Studio 54 as they will in the chicest hot spots of today. And don't worry, there was still plenty to wear to work for the women who depend on her to fill their wardrobes with wearable dresses. And in an unusual move for any designer, von Furstenberg walked the entire length of the U-shaped runway at Lincoln Center to the strains of Chaka Khan's "I'm Every Woman," waving and pausing for air kisses along the way.

Click here, or on the image above, to see some clips from Things to Come.
I've blogged on director William Cameron Menzies before, especially on his 1953 film Invaders from Mars, and his long and often tortured career as a pioneer set designer — most notably for the 1939 production of Gone With the Wind. But I've never really singled out his most ambitious film as a director, from H.G. Wells' screenplay based on his 1933 novel, Things to Come. The large — and I do mean large — cast includes Raymond Massey, Sir Ralph Richardson, and Sir Cedric Hardwicke. To give you some idea of the size and scope of the project, just take a look at the image above.
After Fritz Lang's Metropolis (1927), it's arguably the most ambitious science fiction film ever made, and also one of the most prophetic, envisioning everything from giant flat screen televisions to the eventuality of another World War just a few years later. Bogged down by Wells' insistence that both the actors and directors follow his verbose screenplay to the letter, Things to Come is nevertheless a visual tour de force, and a remarkable achievement both as a film, and as a vision of the future.
Easily available on DVD, including a 2007 version colorized by special effects wizard Ray Harryhausen — I can't believe I'm recommending this, but it's that good — Things to Come is essential viewing for anyone interested in science fiction, set design, world history, or the history of film. Also in 2007, Network DVD in the UK released a digitally-restored version, which to date is the longest version available anywhere in the world. The two-disc set also contains a "Virtual Extended Version" with most of the missing and unfilmed parts represented by production photographs and script extracts.
In short, if you haven't seen it, you should check it out immediately; this is where modern sci-fi begins.

Learning From Stocks You Will Never Invest In
Warren Buffett, who will turn 83 later this year, made his first investment more than 65 years ago. I would guess that, since that time, Mr. Buffett has invested in perhaps 400 to 500 securities if we include his personal trades, special situation investments, stocks, bonds and so on. My guess could be way off the mark -- but my point is that, even after nearly 70 years of investing, Buffett has invested a mere sliver of the tens of thousands of securities that are available. What makes him a brilliant investor, I believe, is the fact that he has a working knowledge of thousands of companies, even though he will never invest in most of them.
Most of us mortals will also invest in just a handful of stocks and bonds. Nonetheless, successful investing requires a constant willingness to learn, and that means reading, analyzing, and researching other companies in which you may never, ever invest....421 more words left in this article.

What You Need to Know
Wednesday, October 3
The Tuesday Takeaway
After watching Baltimore overcome a 15-strikeout masterpiece from James Shields—arguably the best nine-inning effort in a Live Ball Era defeat—and win 1-0 at Tropicana Field, New York came to the brink of losing its East division lead, trailing Boston 3-1, in the bottom of the ninth. But 40-year-old Raul Ibanez rescued the Yankees with a two-run blast off Andrew Bailey, sending the game into extra innings by lining a grooved, 1-2 fastball just over the W.B. Mason sign in right field.
Three innings later, with nobody on base and a 13th frame seemingly inevitable, Andrew Miller gift-wrapped a two-out rally for the home team. Miller dug Francisco Cervelli, who was making his first major-league plate appearance of the season, an 0-2 hole, but then put the backup catcher aboard with four straight balls. He missed with his next four pitches, too, issuing a free pass to Curtis Granderson and moving Cervelli into scoring position. That set the stage for Ibanez, who brought Cervelli home with a ground-ball single through the Red Sox's mild overshift, securing a 4-3 win and preserving the Yankees' hold on first place.
All that now stands between New York and a second straight East division title is a battle with Daisuke Matsuzaka, who has been a veritable piñata since returning from Tommy John surgery in June. Matsuzaka carries a 7.68 ERA into Wednesday's outing, and he has coughed up at least five runs in each of his past four starts. His countryman, Hiroki Kuroda, will be tasked with wrapping things up, and a Yankees win would also give Joe Girardi's team the number-one seed (7:05 p.m. ET).
Meanwhile, 1,000 miles to the south, the Orioles must win to either force a tiebreaker with the Yankees at Camden Yards or earn a chance to host the one-game wild-card playoff against either the Athletics or Rangers. Baltimore, Oakland, and Texas are all knotted up at 93-68, but both the A's and Rangers hold the head-to-head tiebreaker over the O's, so home-field advantage in the playoff is at stake. Buck Showalter's squad has won five of its last six behind Chris Tillman, who beat the Rays on July 26 and has allowed exactly one run in each of his last three starts (7:10 p.m. ET).
On the West Coast, it's two down, one to go for the A's, who clinched a wild-card spot on Monday night but are now just one win away from an improbable upset and the West division crown. Travis Blackley, who was shelled for five runs in just one inning of work in Arlington on Sept. 27, limited the Rangers to one run in six innings on Tuesday, paving the way for Oakland's 3-1 win.
The greatest challenge for A's manager Bob Melvin, who sends A.J. Griffin to the mound to oppose Ryan Dempster, may be navigating his bullpen, which has been taxed heavily in recent days. Sean Doolittle, Ryan Cook, and Grant Balfour worked the seventh, eighth, and ninth innings, respectively, in the first two games of the series, and Balfour—who is 17-for-17 in save opportunities since resuming the role—has been used in four consecutive games. Rangers skipper Ron Washington has a deeper stable of relievers at his disposal, including closer Joe Nathan, though the Rangers are without primary setup man Mike Adams, who's suffering from Thoracic Outlet Syndrome.
But the A's have overcome much more formidable obstacles on their way to first place, which the Rangers—who led by five games with only 10 left to play—had all to themselves from April 9 until last night. Tuesday's game marked the 100th time that Melvin has deployed a rookie starting pitcher in 2012, and Blackley's victory was the 53rd by an Oakland rookie this season, breaking a league record.
Griffin blanked the Rangers for six innings in a 4-3 loss in Texas on June 29, one of only three defeats the A's have suffered in the 24-year-old's 14 assignments. Oakland is 6-1 with Griffin on the hill at the Coliseum, and the University of San Diego product has amassed a 2.52 ERA in 39 1/3 innings at their home park, though he has not completed the sixth inning in any of his last three tries. (3:35 p.m. ET).
Amid all the excitement we have enjoyed over the past week, from the stunning campaigns of the A's and O's to the down-to-the-wire races across the junior circuit, perhaps no fact sums up the chaotic finish better than this: The Rangers, who just two games ago stood alone atop the American League, are two defeats away from watching the rest of the postseason from home.

Mike Adams hasn't appeared in the Rangers/A's series yet but isn't he likely out for another week or more anyways?

Wasn't there a piece on BP a month or so ago about baseball's nightmare playoff scenario, which was something like the Yankees and maybe the Rangers being the wild card teams? We're a few hours and a potential AL East tiebreaker game away from that scenario being true. Anyway, I can't find that article -- am I misremembering it? Did it appear someplace else? Thanks, everyone.
