If you are a parent who prefers cloth diapers for your little one, you must have asked sometime the question - Where Do I buy Cloth Diapers?
Diaper Junction is a great place to buy cloth diapers. If you stay in the U.S. then this is probably one of the best options for you as Diaper junction are a locally owned online stores for shopping cloth diapers. Not only they have some great variety, they also offer awesome deals on cloth diapers and swim Diapers.
Diaper Junction has a customer reward program and even offer a 30-day Cloth Diaper Test Drive, so if you are not happy with their cloth diapers, you can ask for a full refund! Among the top sellers is Diaper Rite Prefolds which cost as low as $1.99
Diaper Junction offers great rates and if you shop over total $49, there is totally free shipping for your baby diapers. Another Great I like about diaper junction is that they have some good products to help new parents like -
- Changing Diapers Book
- Flip Diaper Travel pack
- Mini-Shower Spray Wand
- Diaper Accessories
Whats more is that they have an online support team on their website, which helps you with any diaper issues or queries that you may have. Or you may just visit the parents blog on their site, where parents can connect and share experiences and diaper stories of their little ones.

Today Nokia announced Nokia 808 with Feature Pack 1 enhancements of Symbian Belle.
Does anybody know what are these enhancements and whether they will be available in Nokia N8?
2012-02-28 7:36
Hi, Maybe you must watch the Nokia 808 PureView demo video which runs Belle FP1 on the web.
I found widgets refined & UI changed to certain extent in Belle FP1 looks better than current 111.030.0609

Figure 1: Workers collaborated to trans- late a poem using Etherpad, and the results are shown. Each color indicates a different worker's contribution.
Many collaborative tasks in the real world, however, involve people interacting with each other. Examples range from scientists collaborating on a discovery to students collaborating on a report to volunteers writing articles together on Wikipedia.
In real-world collaborations, interaction is the norm rather than the exception. There are many advantages to interacting groups, such as the ability to communicate and coordinate on the fly rather than having to follow prespecified plans or rules, motivational gains from identifying with a group, and the bonds formed from interacting with other group members and helping behavior between them. There may be interesting benefits from breaking the assumption of independence and enabling workers to collaborate interactively in crowdsourcing.
However, such benefits are by no means certain. For example, would workers participating in a financial market really help each other without any financial incentives?
We examined this question in thecontext of a problem that is both dif-ficult overall and especially difficult todo in a crowdsourcing context: collab-orative translation. Unlike the short,simple, objective, and verifiable tasksthat are typical of Mechanical Turk,translation can be complex, challeng-ing, time-consuming, highly subjec-tive, and impossible to verify automati-cally. It is also highly interdependent,requiring a consistent voice and ap-proach throughout. However, if wewere able to harness the power of thecrowd for translation, there could bemany potential benefits ranging fromsupporting disaster relief efforts (asalready demonstrated by CrowdFlow-er and Samasource in crowdsourcingtranslation in the Haitian relief efforts,see page 10) to providing essentialtraining data to help machine transla-tion research.
Figure 2: Comparing the original poem (left), a published translation by Havard, 1990 (center), and final crowdsourced version from our experiment (right), the crowdsourced version was preferred by 14 out of 16 bilingual raters.

IRESS Enhances XPLAN's Social Capabilities
What part should social media play in the practices of financial planners and advisers? With some 90% of Australians online, practitioners no longer question the importance of the Internet itself, but the value of social media is not as well recognised. That attitude may be changing, however.
Facebook, for example, counts 11,000,000 Australians among its members, a number that amounts to half the country's population. With that kind of reach, "new technologies and social media are becoming less of a fad and more of an essential business tool," according to Hillross Managing Director Hugh Humphrey, speaking to Money Management magazine.
In response to that change, IRESS has enhanced the social media capabilities of the latest iteration of its XPLAN system. Social media first appeared in XPLAN 2.1, which was released at the end of 2011, but a new version enhances the product by giving advisers a window into a client's entire online social world.
Before the new version's release, it was difficult to deal with the sheer volume of information flowing through social channels, according to IRESS Senior Business Development Executive Michael Kinens. IRESS says that the latest release "allows advisers to see a complete history of everything their clients have tweeted, posted or blogged via various social media networks from within the client record in XPLAN."
Provided an adviser has already established an online social relationship with the client, XPLAN incorporates social information into a customisable "Client Dashboard" within the system. At the same time, advisers can access social media for their own purposes through the system. According to Kinens, "Rather than having to go to each individual site, they can post, tweet or blog directly from XPLAN."
"That's a great step forward in terms of efficiency," he added.
Kinens points to the story of David Rae as an example of the potential power of social media for advisers. A tweet from one of Rae's clients alerted Rae, a financial adviser in Canberra, to the fact that a client's daughter had a serious disease. Rae followed a link to the client's Tumblr account, where he learned more about the situation. As it happens, the client had updated his policy a year earlier to include child trauma cover, but he had been unaware of that cover until Rae made contact. Rae was able to begin the claims process immediately, something that might not have happened so quickly had it not been for social media.

Hans Richter, painter and filmmaker, was introduced to abstract art in 1912. He moved from Germany to Switzerland in 1916, where he joined the Dada movement and began film experiments. Richter continued filmmaking in the United States after 1940. The readings on the soundtrack are fragments from several poems by Dadaist Hugo Ball.

"Eso sí que es". I think the Spanish saying of "it is what it is" can be applied in some sense to the Dadaist movement. Even though this is as jumbled and nonsensical as any of the Jordan work that I've bashed, it's forgiven by its context. It's art that pokes fun at itself and acknowledges its absurdity. It admits that there's nothing here to "interpret", so you can just go along and appreciate the trippy eyeballs. I like the trippy eyeballs. I like the execution of interesting visual effects, therefore I like this a lot.

So this video just reached my desk. Some group of hipsters in Oregon or something who paint motorcycle helmets as art. Listen, we are all BROs, right? We can be real. A lot of these kind of suck. Like, not even that the paintings themselves are that bad. I mean put that first eagle on a tee shirt and I will wear that shit to the bar every day of the week, probably sing the national anthem while I'm fucking a chick in it. But as a helmet paint job, they are not good. Where is the real art here? All you are doing is painting a picture on a helmet. BROs like Tagger and Troy Lee actually use some imagination to create something totally original, and then we got Ben and Jerry over here painting an alien tattoo on their goddamn helmet. You are an artist BRO. I know you are poor as fuck, but this is why. That is not art, it is a painting. A painting on a helmet. The tattoo dude was way gnarlier. Hipsters suck.
Who else thought of this video when they heard the guy talking about how it took 5 hours for him to do his busch league eagle painting?

Picture yourself spending some time with congenial friends, sharing your lives and pictures from your cell phones." They're curious about that cool game, song, movie, camping trip, art show, or other event that fascinated you. You talk about all kinds of stuff, poetry, styles, personal achievements, relationships, and bad days. You can share your inner child, and laugh together. They sympathetically listen to your feelings about serious topics like politics or climate change, even when they don't agree.
Personal validation comes from paying attention to one another, giving more than you get. Everyone respects you and themselves, despite our amazing range of personal tastes and interests. They'll tell you they don't agree with an idea or behavior without implying you're a bad person or somehow deficient. It's an "I'm OK, You're OK" kind of fellowship, where nobody tries to make himself look better by picking on somebody else.
Nobody here is into mind games. A discussion started with a loaded guilt-throwing question will be deleted.
This group is not intended to compete with other groups on topics they cover but to "fill in the cracks." Whenever a discussion dwells at length on a topic for which there's an existing group, we urge you to provide members a link to that group to continue along their tangent.
A comment is a shout-out, which will get lost in a few days, because the comment wall is just a random stack.
Please start a discussion to share stories, photos, and videos. Replies will pop up in your "latest activity" and a conversation can develop from the feelings and thoughts you contributed. Groups are built on discussions.

Lillie, I beg to differ that you can eat only a small piece of silk pie at a time. :)
I checked for recipes on line Lillie.....sounds tasty.
French Silk pie is chocolate with the texture of silk, I guess. It is very rich so you can only eat a small piece at the time. At least, it lasts a little longer this way. lol.

How To Double Your Teams Productivity In 90 Days Or Less
WOW! Hard to believe I'm the only one who didn't give this book 5 stars.
The book is not a How To ... like the subtitle suggests. It does have some useful ideas about various aspects of business (vision, communication, hiring, metrics), though none of them are ground breaking. But what disappointed was the lack of a coherent process as the title indicated. His only process is to create a vision for where your company should be in 3 years then start working on all these other aspects - but he doesn't give any way to prioritize or structure the process. I suspect he does this better in his one-on-one consulting which this book seems designed to promote.
In addition, most of the advice seems to be geared toward small companies - ie those without an HR person - despite his stories of coaching at very large companies.
The marketing and PR sections also seem slanted toward consumer oriented companies rather than B2B.

Double Double isn't just another business book from an analyst. Cameron has spent the last 20 years running companies, including 1-800-GOT-JUNK! where as COO he helped grow the company from $2 million to $105 million in just six years.
Unlike all those business bestsellers that are filled with theories and projections, Double Double is filled with practical, actionable advice. It's a recipe book for building a world-class company. The goal of the book, according to Herold, is to teach you how to double your business in just three years (which amounts to just under 30% annual growth).
I was so inspired after reading the book I immediately got a fresh notebook out and started brainstorming ideas for my company.
Double Double is an excellent road map for growing your company. Even if you have been running companies for more than ten years like me, you will learn something from reading this book.
I'm an avid reader. I blow thru at least 2-5 books every week and have ready over 2000 books in the past 10 years. There are less than 10 books that I've read that I consider to be "game changers." These are books like Good to Great, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Guerrilla Marketing, and The E-Myth. Cameron's book - Double Double has now entered my top ten!
I can't say enough good things about his book, there are over 100+ practical, actionable things that you can put into place ASAP from hiring and motivating to building a great culture, getting free PR and everywhere in between.
Buy this book and I'm confident that even if you apply a few things you've learned you will easily double your business!

Gretchen Dykstra, president and CEO of the World Trade Center Memorial Foundation (WTCMF), announced on May 26th that she is resigning from her post effective immediately. Joseph Daniels, WTCMF general counsel, has been named acting president. "There is general agreement that the multiplicity of authorities makes it difficult for anyone to move expeditiously," Dykstra wrote in a letter of resignation to Thomas Johnson, chairman of the WTCMF executive committee. "Perhaps it would help if there were one less player," she continued. Johnson accepted her resignation, stating, "It is regrettable to lose Gretchen. In her time with the Foundation, we raised more than $130 million towards building the Memorial and Museum and extensive plans have been made to build and operate them.
The WTCMF, a nonprofit organization established in 2005, is charged with raising funds for, building, and operating the Memorial and Museum at the World Trade Center site.

50th Freeman in San Diego
I would like to bring to everyone's attention, especially those close to San Diego, the upcoming Dave Freeman tournament. This will be the 50th edition of the event and will be held 3rd, 4th and 5th of March. There are 3 flights -A, B and C as well as Senior categories. A participants will have a chance at the $2000 prize money.
We are still taking entries. Please go to www.sandiegobadminton.org for all information as well as to submit entries online.
We hope to have a large turnout to make the tournament a resounding success. Please spread the word.

Why is it that the Entry Fee are so high compared to other tournaments ? That might be why the turn out is small .....
Is it Really?

However compared to some other events, such as the ones at SGVBC and Bay Area open, I grant that it is on the high side.
Keep those questions and entries coming!
With that kind of entry fees, you may have discouraged lots of people who usually play tournament for fun. One of the reasons why tournament like Bruins Opens were successful is because the entry fee is nominal so as the Bay Area Open too. They draw lots of high school players who are not in the workforce. So money is always an issue. In the past USBDF events, to encourage participations from high school players to join, those who are first timers and high school top players from each school are offered full sponsorship (Free entry and also receive free T-shirt).

Finding Fulfillment Beyond the Bench
When I left the lab, I wondered if I'd also left the emotional highs behind: would I be able to experience again the excitement and rush of awaiting results and making new discoveries if I'm not running experiments? Or the gratification of working on something as important as cancer? The answer, surprisingly, has been yes.
In some cases, transforming ideas that have been percolating in my mind for awhile into something tangible like a new course offering has been akin to the buildup of months spent generating tools, collecting reagents, and troubleshooting protocols and then the reward that follows with being able to commence the actual experiment and collect real data. A great illustration of this is our fall course From Scientist to CSO: A Business & Industry Primer, providing leadership and management skills training. Since before even joining the Academy, I've felt that business and other "soft" skills are important for scientists to learn; therefore, one of my aims has been to assemble a program that would provide the benefits of a typical pocket or mini-MBA. Now, combining this new course with our 12 week spring course From Idea to IPO, I'm hoping to have achieved my goal or come close. Needless to say, having this vision finally brought to fruition has been exhilarating.
In other ways, the rushes experienced in scientific research have been replaced with positive feedback from my audience and stakeholders. When I see that registration and attendance is high for the events I've strategically selected, it's like getting a positive result from an experiment supporting my hypothesis or model. When students and postdocs thank me after an event it's like scientists complimenting a poster or talk I've presented. And when the academic leadership from our partner institutions is pleased with my programs and work, it's like garnering the approval of my dissertation committee. Instant gratification is a wonderful thing- and interestingly, it comes more often than it did in the lab.
Then there's the fulfillment that comes from working on something that you really believe in. Just as I used to be passionate about research that could someday help unravel the mysteries of disease, so too am I passionate about improving the training and development of scientists. Many modifications could be made in our graduate curriculum to better support the array of possible careers in science and align with the realities of where science PhDs are ending up (see a recent paper on this here). It's great to be in a position where I'm not only advocating for these changes but also filling in some of these gaps.
So, yes, I've been successful at replicating some of the anticipation, excitement, and fulfillment of being in the lab. And I don't even have to spend hours in the cold room. Ahh....

Check out pictures of actress Selena Gomez hair and hairstyles. Gomez is famous for her role on the television series Wizards of Waverly Place. Today we Show u Selena Gomez Hair Style always looks polished and cute on the red carpet. She loves to sport fun and flirty hairstyles that complement her outfits. The best thing about her hairstyles is that they're really easy to achieve! Here is a step-by-step guide to getting Selena's loose side-bun updo. Today we Show u Selena Gomez Hair Style "The beauty product I can't live without is Oil of Olay face wash and lotion. It's geared towards an older audience, but I find that if I start working on my skin now, it can't do me any harm!"
low-fuss hairstyle is pulled back and tied at the back leaving out the front and sides to soften this style and compliment the face. This simple hairdo is easy to re-create at home and great for those bust people looking for a hairdo that takes no time to style. This long brown mane is dressed over to one side and left to fall over the shoulder showing off the soft wave added for movement. The front and side layers are left out to soften the over-all style for a magnificent finish.
This style is great for any occasion. This long and luscious hairstyle is layered through the sides and back to enhance the waves added to the mid-lengths to ends giving this style shape and movement best suited for those with long face shapes. This look is easy to re-create with the right tills and products. Slick and simple is the main aim for this look. These dark and sexy locks are blow-waved smooth showing off the layers cut through the front to add shape and style to this low-fuss hairstyle. This look will need regular trims to prevent split ends and a little product for hold and shine.
This simple hairdo is great for those with layers cut into their locks looking for a style that's low-fuss. The soft waves added to the mid-lengths to ends gives this style a little movement. A little product is needed for hold and shine and regular trims every 4-6 weeks will prevent split ends. Subtle layers cut through the length of this hairdo lightens the edge to allow a slight bounce of the loose waves to add softness to the over-all style. The middle part makes this best suited for those with round face shapes and will suit most hair types.
Beautiful bouncy curls added all over gives this hairstyle plenty of body and volume which is best suited for those looking for a stunning hairdo to balance out a long face shape. The long wispy cut layers through the back and sides encourage the bounce for a full and fancy finish. Selena Gomez made her way into H & M's exclusive preview of the Comme des Garcons Collection wearing a brilliant 'do that just tickled her shoulders. Waves were added from her mid-lengths to her ends to show off long layers and achieve a weightless finish. This hairstyle can be easily re-created with hot rollers or a curling iron.

Review: Definitive Technology Bipolar SuperTower Speaker System Page 5
Extended Test Bench
Frequency response (at 2 meters)
• left/right 21 Hz to 20 kHz ±3.9 dB
• center 23 to 20 kHz ±2.7 dB
• surround 23 to 20 kHz ±4.4 dB
Sensitivity (SPL at 1 meter with 2.8 volts of pink-noise input)
• left/right 92 dB
• center 92 dB
• surround 87 dB
Impedance (minimum/nominal)
• left/right 3.5/6 ohms
• center 3.9/7 ohms
• surround 3.2/7 ohms
Bass output, tower (CEA-2010 standard)
• Ultra-low bass (20-31.5 Hz): 103.6 dB
• Low bass (40-63 Hz): 110.5 dB
Bass limits
• center 40 Hz at 84 dB
• surround 50 Hz at 82 dB
Measuring multidirectional loudspeakers like the BP-8060ST bipolar tower is always challenging because our typical measurements don't take rear radiation into account. Fortunately, the BP-8060ST measures well regardless.
Measurements of all speakers were made at 2 meters, enough distance to ensure that full effects of cabinet diffraction and front-panel reflections were included. The fabric grilles were left in place. The BP-8060ST was measured standing on the ground, the way it will always be used, with an on-axis measurement taken at 10 feet to capture the effect of floor bounce. The CS-8060HD center speaker was placed on a 6-foot stand, which gave quasi-anechoic results down to 220 Hz. The SR-8080BP surround speaker was mounted to a large piece of plywood to simulate wall-mounting. The curves you see in the graph for the tower and center speakers show an averaged response from 0° to 30°, smoothed to 1/12th of an octave. For the surround speaker, curves from 0° to 60° were included in the average. All woofers, ports, and passive radiators were close-miked, scaled, and summed as appropriate, then their combined responses were spliced to the averaged quasi-anechoic responses to produce the curves you see here. All responses are normalized to 0 dB at 1 kHz.
The measurements of the BP-8060ST tower speaker are actually better than it would appear from the chart. Our measurement technique takes into account floor bounce, the cancellation effect that occurs when sound bouncing from the floor combines with direct sound. (Floor-bounce effects change with the listening distance. I recently altered the technique to capture floor bounce at a reasonable listening distance of 10 feet; our past measurements portrayed the floor bounce at a listening distance of 2 meters.) Anyway, the floor bounce causes a big dip centered at 280 Hz with a corresponding peak at 620 Hz. Take this floor bounce out of the measurement (as most manufacturers do) and you get a staggeringly excellent measurement of ±1.6 dB. Off-axis response looks very good. At 45°, it's actually flatter than the on-axis response, except for a very narrow peak at 14 kHz.
The CS-8060HD is a well-engineered MTM (midwoofer/tweeter/midwoofer) center speaker, with essentially flat on-axis response and excellent averaged response across a ±30° listening window. As expected, interference between the midwoofers starts at about 30° off-axis, where a 7-dB dip appears between 1 and 4 kHz. At 45°, the dip moves down in frequency, occurring between 600 Hz and 2 kHz.
Bipolar surround speakers like the SR-8080BP rarely measure all that well because they're designed to spray sound almost randomly all around a room. But the SR-8080BP works well for a speaker in its class. Response is ragged at all angles, as expected, but the curves average out to a fairly flat ±4.4 dB.
Anechoic sensitivity (averaged output at 1 meter from 200 Hz to 10 kHz) varies from decent to great, with the surround coming in at 87 dB (pretty good for a bipolar surround speaker), and the tower and the center at 92 dB (or 92.4 dB, to be precise, slightly better than DefTech's 92-dB spec). Impedance curves are fairly mild. The tower drops to 3.5 ohms at 326 Hz and averages about 6 ohms, with a maximum phase shift of -25° at 4.9 kHz. The center drops to 3.9 ohms at 326 Hz with nominal impedance of 7 ohms and max phase shift of -31° at 200 Hz. The surround hits 3.2 ohms at 264 Hz and averages about 7 ohms, with max phase shift of -36° at 174 Hz. All in all, nothing here that any garden-variety receiver can't drive, especially considering that the tower and center speakers' internal amps will be handling the bass.
The subwoofer section of the BP-8060ST is fairly kicking given the speaker's compact size. Low bass output (40-63 Hz) averages 110.5 dB and ultra-low bass (20-31.5 Hz) output averages just 103.6 dB — numbers that put some midsize subwoofers to shame. It's not distortion that limits the useful output in this case but either mechanical noise from the woofer cone or the amplifier's internal limiter stepping in to protect the driver.
While the low-level frequency-response measurements indicate response down into the low 20-Hz region for both the center and surround speakers, the bass response at those low frequencies is distorted and unusable. Actual usable response extends down to 40 Hz at 84 dB for the center speaker and 50 Hz at 82 dB for the surround. Which is plenty for center and surround speakers. —Brent Butterworth

A project I worked on over Christmas, while I was away from my machine for 2 months, so it's mostly sewn by hand. I must say, I love hand-overcasting – it keeps the seam allowances so pliable. For the buttons I randomly raided my collection (The pics show me I need to move the last two buttons in a bit…!)
As usual I couldn't get the 'based on' link to work – BurdaStyle please make this feature easier to use! – but this is the Alexander Blouse, unchanged. I used some left-over cotton, which is a little too stiff for the Alexander – but the blouse is still cute, I think :-) Next time I'll lengthen the peplum a bit, for a different effect.

Reggie Jackson Approaches Yanks
Reggie Jackson a Yankee again? Bill Goodstein, a New York lawyer, said last night he talked to George Steinbrenner about the possibility of Jackson's joining the Yankees as a player for the final month of the season. Goodstein said he expects to hear the owner's answer today. "I talked to George Tuesday and I think it's fair to say he was intrigued by the idea," said Goodstein, the agent for Dave Righetti, the Yankees' relief pitcher. "Whatever their past relationship, it's been fully repaired.

SPORTS OF THE TIMES; Reggie Jackson in the Ninth
ONE of baseball's great drawing cards -and the inspiration for a nutty chocolate bar (now extinct) - could be playing in his last regular-season games at Yankee Stadium this week. "Let's go out and see Reggie," is something ticket buyers have often said, and then rattled off on the subway to the ball yard in the Bronx, or, as the case may be, taken to the back roads and expressways in other venues where major-league baseball is played. Reginald Martinez Jackson, now 41 years old and a sometime player with...

BASEBALL; Mr. October Is Now A Man For All Seasons
On a Saturday in June 1977, Martinez Jackson, a tailor in Wyncote, Pa., just outside of Philadelphia, received a phone call from his son, Reggie, in Boston, and it was clear that his son was terribly upset. Martinez Jackson had raised Reggie pretty much alone, after he and his wife had divorced when the boy was 6. He raised him on Greenwood Avenue in Wyncote, the block where all the blacks in town lived. At the time of the call, Reggie Jackson was 31, an outfielder with the New York Yankees, and it came after a...

It's hard to believe that, instead, both Thurman Munson and Billy Martin are gone, and the bald spot on Reggie Jackson's head is growing steadily, like some expanding halo. There's no getting around it, though: Tomorrow, April 13, marks the 20th anniversary of Reggie! bar day. It all started with a remark that Reggie Jackson made while he was still an...

SPORTS PEOPLE; Wall of Fame
He played only one season at Arizona State before embarking on a 21-year major league career that will land him in the Hall of Fame, but yesterday, Reggie Jackson saw his number retired by the university. And it wasn't the number he actually wore. A white sign with a maroon "No. 44" below the words "Reggie Jackson" was put on permanent display on the right-field fence of Packard Stadium in Tempe. Jackson, whose idol was Willie Mays, wore No. 24 when he starred for the Sun Devils in 1966, hitting 15 home runs.

Jackson Sings Irabu's Praises
Hideki Irabu was clearly honored. Reggie Jackson was clearly impressed. Jackson -- the former Yankee star and initially one of Irabu's biggest doubters -- sought out Irabu at the Yankees' minor league complex the morning after the Japanese pitcher had dominated Class A hitters in his first professional American outing. "He made two huge steps last night," Jackson said, meaning his pitching and his poise. "You could tell he was thankful someone had noticed. " Thankful enough to bow twice as Jackson approached Irabu.

BASEBALL; Strike One For Reggie?
Owner George Steinbrenner sent a memo to his special assistant, Reggie Jackson, admonishing him for attending the Knicks-Bulls playoff game Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden while the Yankees were playing the Orioles at Yankee Stadium. Although Jackson would only speak generally about the memo, one person who saw it said the Hall of Fame outfielder was criticized for embarrassing the organization by choosing the Knicks over the Yankees. Jackson, who had some well-publicized spats with Steinbrenner as a player, defended his actions by...

SPORTS PEOPLE; Jackson's Swan Song?
Stewart's teammate, Reggie Jackson, leaving no doubt about his intentions to quit, punctuated his final game at the Oakland Coliseum yesterday with a base hit off an 0-2 pitch as a pinch-hitter in the Athletics' eighth inning. Jackson then threw waves and kisses to a standing, cheering crowd. Jackson, 41 years old, said he was not making an official announcement of his retirement after 20 seasons, but he never made it so definite as he did yesterday. "This was my last at bat," he said.

Jackson Signs as ESPN Analyst
REGGIE JACKSON needs a public forum to discuss baseball, one that he hopes will lead to running a major league baseball team. So he has signed with ESPN to be an occasional analyst for its baseball coverage, starting Friday at 10 P.M. "I need ESPN to express to people that I want to be more in the game and more closely associated with it," said Jackson, who has called baseball for ABC Sports and was a commentator for Angels and Athletics games....

The Blame Game
To the Sports Editor: I agree wholeheartedly with Reggie Jackson that Willie Randolph is long overdue for a manager's job. But I have two problems with Jackson's statements. First, Randolph has never managed; it's not as easy as it looks. Second, putting that aside, why is Jackson coming down so hard on franchises like Detroit, Milwaukee and Tampa Bay? They've all had minority group members as managers in the past. When have either the Yankees or the Mets had a minority manager?

Piniella Talks to Jackson
Lou Piniella said today that he spoke with Reggie Jackson last Friday about a possible comeback by the 42-year-old former player. But Piniella, the Yankee manager, said he never received the impression in their telephone conversation that Jackson seriously intended to try playing again. "My interpretation was that he would not" attempt to return, Piniella said. Jackson was at the core of a rumored comeback to the Yankees after Bill Goodstein, a lawyer who has had occasional dealings with the former player, approached the Yankees' principal...

BY THE WAY; A Reggie for an Andrew Jackson
Think of it as an "Antiques Roadshow" for baseball card collectors. Alan Rosen of Montvale knows all about what autographed bats, gloves, photographs and especially baseball cards are worth, and he will be at the Yogi Berra Museum and Learning Center in Little Falls today from 2 to 6 p.m. to appraise visitors' items. Mr. Rosen, who got the nickname Mr. Mint during his Paterson childhood for his obsession with mint-condition baseball cards, has been a full-time dealer since 1982, and says he's bought and sold $115 million worth of...

SPORTS OF THE TIMES; Mr. October's New Project: Jose Canseco
rrJose Canseco is baseball's most talented player. He's also its most tempestuous player. "He's uncontrollable," Reggie Jackson was saying. "He says things at the wrong time. " Despite his $2 million salary, the Oakland Athletics' slugger recently complained that he and Kevin Mitchell of the San Francisco Giants, who is earning $2,083,000 this season, have not been granted as much "respect" as Will Clark received from the Giants with his $3 million salary. Canseco's implication was that because he...

BASEBALL; Jackson Talks About the Split
The tempestuous 22-year relationship between Reggie Jackson and George Steinbrenner soured once again last month in a spat over name-calling, or terms of employment, or perhaps both issues. But no matter what happens, Jackson said yesterday in the Yankees' clubhouse, he and Steinbrenner will always be joined together as part of the club's tradition. "Though I don't think it'll be easy to work things," Jackson said, "I think it could be, because I'm a Yankee. " Jackson was at Yankee Stadium to participate in the...

Where Sung Tongs and Feels wandered and drifted, Merriweather is concise and determined, and where Strawberry Jam and Person Pitch introduced the electronic foundation into the mix, Merriweather takes it to another level, nearly convincing us that everything that preceded it was just a warm-up lap. Likewise, elements from each and every one of the group's previous albums are here, however it is the synthesis of all these ingredients that makes it all so exhilarating. Merriweather definitely further extends the more electronic direction that the collective took with Strawberry Jam-noisy electronic loops and samples, rolling climactic drum beats, overpowering synthesizers, numerous effects pedals, etc.- yet much has changed in just under two years.
Gone first and foremost are the previously ever-present yelps and screams from Avey Tare, once a cornerstone of the Animal Collective sound. Some will undoubtedly miss those raspy yells, but the end result of the change is magnificent enough to make them just as easily forget that they were ever there in the first place. Instead, Panda Bear and Avey work together, creating near perfection by interweaving their similar yet respectively distinct vocalizations. With this move alone, it is clear that the boys have chosen lushness over chaos, at least in the vocal department. Additionally, the vocals now take a half-step down from the foreground, and instead echo around, contributing to the atmospheric wall of sound created by numerous samples and virtually inexplicable ornate "instrumentation." This, however, does not compromise their gorgeously catchy melodies or beautiful harmonies, something that the fellas have always brought to the table. Stunning, hummable melodies harmonize with one another and mesh into layer upon layer of vast electronic blips and miscellaneous sounds. The songcraft alone is awe-inspiring enough to make many amateur songwriters simply give up altogether.
It might be only a week into the year, but I would be hard pressed to find a better album opener in 2009 than "In The Flowers", a track that begins with haunting looped grunts but slowly unveils itself as a colorful pop song, equipped with unforgettable vocal melodies and a hair raising, eye widening drum pounding climax. From its first few seconds, the album immediately launches into an ultra-sunny trip through sub aquatic, organic, electro infused psychedelic soundscapes that borrow from the Beach Boys as much as they do African tribal and tropicalia. It is a journey that remains consistent and cohesive throughout its 54 brilliant minutes. Still no word on why they titled the full-length after the Columbia, MD venue of the same name, but I think I speak for all of us when I say that any Marylander should be proud that the guys are drawing some positive musical attention to our fair state. It is an astonishing collection of charming and clever songs that you have to hear to believe.
If Hendrix wore an acid soaked headband, then AC's Lennox, Portner, and Weitz wear drenched full body suits. Yes, it is safe to say the lads have reached psychedelic perfection, and not by following the rules. The boys of Animal Collective have mapped out some previously uncharted waters, producing a style of music that could belong to no one else; a distinctive, flawless fusion of the semi- automated and the wholly organic. Psychedelic music has never sounded like this before, and it is safe to say that from here on out it will never be the same. If this is your first experience with Animal Collective, don't be afraid to dive in through the ripples, just know that you may never want to resurface.

Looking to Saturday Through The Lens of 2007
NC State's strong play and run to the ACC semi-finals has people asking if this team can exceed the run achieved by Sidney Lowe's first Woflpack team in 2007. (Link)
Can this N.C. State team go a step further than its 2007 edition and actually win four ACC tournament games and a berth in the NCAA tournament?
My answer that question is a resounding, YES! for one primary reason – depth.
Coach Sidney Lowe has developed his bench and these players to the point where any scholarship player has the experience and the talent to contribute in a pinch. Heck, even seldom used Johnny Thomas has 'replaced' Josh Davis as the hustle/hard work guy and Jordan Vandenburg has taken playing time from recently emerging Deshawn Painter. Richard Howell's emergence means that another offensive option exists on the 'second team'.
The 2007 team barely went five players deep and was clearly lead by a heroic effort from Brandon Costner. This team doesn't have such a heavy reliance on a single player or such a limited set of half court offensive options. This team has already benefited from very strong play in two different games from a host of contributors making this run much more balanced.
With all of this said, I think that the 'hidden' differentiating factor in the Wolfpack's recent play from our regular season struggles is the play of Farnold Degand. Degand has exerted energy on both sides of the floor and his ball handling and speed has been key in quite a few plays that were breaking down and needed saving. The "Degand Difference" is very real. Don't forget his very first game this year when the Wolfpack had a second half offensive explosion to win on the road at NCAA Tournament team, Marquette.
The biggest key to the rest of the Wolfpack's weekend is clearly Javi Gonzalez's ankle. State does NOT have the depth – or consistency -to weather this kind of loss in the backcourt and Gonzalez's strong play on both sides of the court since the Pack's win over Wake Forest is clearly the key to our recent emergence.
The N&O gives your five things to watch as you look ahead today's semi-finals in Greensboro.

Rather haunting place. Great capture, Rosalie. I imagine it could make one feel rather eerie.
It was a little eerie at times, but the view from the Fort made up for the coldness. Thanks for the nice comment.

No you would not want to be claustrophobic in that Fort as there were a lot of long narrow tunnels to go through. Thanks for the nice comment.
