A conversation I had over the weekend got me thinking about value and the 2013 Royals roster. As is the case with most teams, the Royals feature young players who are playing through their pre-arbitration years, young players who have signed long-term deals with the team and veterans. While not all players fit perfectly into one of those three categories, you can at least see the direction by using those three. Inherently, young players make less money than veteran players. Well that's not entirely true, but young players in their pre-arbitration years definitely make less than the vast majority of veteran players. And some arbitration eligible players make more than some veteran players. That last point is where the conversation started and got me thinking about the value on the roster.
Because of the way baseball's salary structure works, a player with zero to three years of service time (typically) is paid at the discretion of his team unless a long-term deal is worked out. Sure, Super Two can factor in for players with less than three years, but let's just keep it simple for the time being. Then, as players get into the arbitration part of their careers, their salaries tend to jump, especially if they're good. The thing that gets most people in an uproar is that even if a player isn't good, their salary tends to rise if they do something well. In the case of a guy like Luke Hochevar, he throws innings. He doesn't even have to do it well for the arbitration process to indicate that he deserves a raise. And yes, I know he didn't actually go to arbitration, but he would have received a raise had he gone.
So let's stick with Luke Hochevar for a second, which was the focal point of the conversation I had the other day. As you all know, Hochevar signed for $4.56 million with some incentives that can make the salary even more. Many fans were in a tizzy about that even though the real issue came back in November when the Royals tendered him a contract. We went over that then, so it's not worth getting upset over now, but that's where it started. Once the decision was made to tender him a contract, we knew his salary was going to be around $4.5 million. Of course, having the actual number allowed people to form a judgment about the deal. A guy like Hochevar can be used as a great example for how a team should handle its younger players.
If I was running the Royals and dealing with a guy like Luke Hochevar, I'd obviously keep him around for his first three years no matter what. Hochevar is a bit of a different case in that he was given a big league contract upon being drafted, so he wasn't subject to the minimum salary as most young players are. Still, the contract was a pittance compared to what most big leaguers make, so that's a no brainer. At some point, though, as the salary begins to rise, you hope the production does as well. You can live with a season like Hochevar had in 2012 if he's making even as little as $2 million because no matter what you think, the potential is there. Of course, three factors about 2013 make tendering Hochevar silly, and thus make him a poor value. The first is that he's making too much money considering the production he provides. The second is that every single year, the window of potential closes a little bit more. And the third is that if the team is really serious about contending but is on a budget, then every penny counts and they can't throw money away on a guy like Hochevar.
Because the Royals are filled with players who are in their first three years, they're also filled with many players who are set to make around the league minimum. According to Cot's (a wonderful resource), the vast majority of the Royals roster will make less than $1 million in 2013. My biggest concern about the 2013 roster is all the fat that is around the edges. A guy like James Shields making a touch over $10 million doesn't bother me one bit because he'll most likely justify that salary or at least come close to it. Paying Jeff Francoeur a touch under $7 million, though, is a contract that just seems silly. Bruce Chen at $4.5 million is probably right around in line with his market value, but when paired with the Francoeur contract, you can start to see where the Royals can do a better job with spending their money. Maybe even add in a $12 million gamble on one of 2012's worst starting pitchers, Ervin Santana, and you start to see a lot of money that could have been available. I'm not going to dwell on the past too much, but it definitely has to factor in an evaluation.
I think I kind of lost my train of thought here, but the roundabout point I wanted to make initially is that there's a ton of value on the Royals roster even mixed in with some of those players who are probably making a fair amount more than they deserve. People talk a lot about the farm system and how well Dayton Moore has done to build it, but to this point, his best attribute as a general manager has been his ability to sign players to long-term deals, some early in their careers. The Salvador Perez contract may be the best in baseball when it's all said and done. Alcides Escobar is a bargain at just $3 million per year over the next three seasons. Even some of the bigger contracts are pretty club friendly like Alex Gordon and Billy Butler who stand to likely be the two best hitters on the team. Dayton Moore didn't sign this contract, but Wade Davis could end up being quite a bargain if he can get back to the rotation.
What these value contracts do is they allow you to go out and get a guy like a James Shields making $10 million plus. We can argue until we're blue in the face about whether or not that trade was smart, and that's not my intention here, but with the budget the Royals are clearly on, they would not have been able to make that trade to acquire Shields, Davis and Santana. Like I said, you can argue whether the execution was correct, but the fact is that because of the solid contracts signed by players to buy out some free agency and having a roster full of young players means the Royals can make those mistakes in an effort to get better. Me personally, I don't think the moves they made put them over the top, and that is a definite discussion to be made, but while there's quite a division in how the players on the team are paid, the overall roster is a pretty good value. I just don't think it'll be good enough to surprise in make the playoffs.

Even on EDGE, MoPhoTo loads fairly quickly and provides you with your pictures in full screen without any distortion. It doesn't matter what you're using for connection, unfortunately they still won't load as fast as they would in your photo album. Another downside is that you can't download pictures to your photo album from within the app itself either.
MoPhoTo is definitely worth checking out if you use even one of the services that this app can take advantage of. Considering that it's a free app as well, you may want to hang on to it, especially if you don't want to lug around your full photo library with you everywhere you go.

Event with Arnold Hano
Join us on Sunday, November 11 at 1 pm to welcome
Arnold Hano, author of Three Steps to Hell,
an omnibus of three hard-hitting novels. There is no charge for
this event.
Many know Arnold, a longtime Laguna Beach resident, as the author of A Day in the Bleachers,
the seminal book about baseball from a fan's perspective centered around "the
catch" by Willie Mays in the 1954 World Series. But what few may not be aware of
is that Hano, under his own name and several aliases, wrote novels featuring
driven, flawed characters.
3 Steps to Hell reprints for
the first time three of Arnold's books. The Last Out was his first novel
and was set, appropriately, in the world of baseball. The story features major
league players, gangsters, bribes and the outlaw teams of Canada. In So I'm a
Heel, a WWII vet, with plastic for a jaw shattered by a sniper's bullet,
seeks to blackmail a rich man over his terrible secret, but the scheme goes way
wrong. And in Flint, a western inspired by Jim Thompson's Savage
Night, a tormented gunslinger takes on one more job to kill for money.
This edition also features an introduction by noted crime
novelist Gary Phillips (The Warlord of Willow
Ridge) and a Q & A with Arnold conducted by his longtime
friend, playwright Dan Duling. Both Gary and Dan will also be in attendance at
the event.
"I solve mysteries. Or try to," Arnold said about
his approach to writing. "Be it a novel, a short story, a magazine article, a
play - whatever - problems lie within and must be addressed."
Arnold certainly ably addresses those
problems and conflicts in the novels published in 3 Steps to Hell.
Mystery, sports and westerns fans, indeed fans of compelling storytelling in
general, will enjoy these tales finally back in print in this volume.

Hi, I'm Andrea from Crane and I'd like to introduce Crane's innovative design in children's humidifiers. Humidifiers are an important childcare item.
When your child has a stuffy nose or dry cough pediatricians will generally recommend a cool mist humidifier as an alternative to medicine to relieve cold and flu symptoms. Humidifiers make breathing easier for a good night's sleep.
Humidifiers also help protect against dry skin, chapped lips and nosebleeds. Crane ultrasonic humidifiers have low power consumption and create a whisper quiet mist, put out up to 2.1 gallons of moisture per day, have a 1 gallon water tank that runs a minimum of 11 hours and when the water level runs love the humidifier will automatically shut off.
Crane humidifiers are simple to use and include an operation manual. Please keep the manual in a safe place for future reference. There is a water tank lid with slots for the mist, a 1 gallon water tank that's easy to fill and a water-basin.
Please be aware that the water tank is filled from the bottom, not the top. Now first unscrew the water tank cap. Then fill the water tank with cool tap water. It fits perfectly under most faucets and bathroom sinks. Replace the water tank cap and then put the filled water tank onto the water basin. Make sure that it's on a level elevated surface. The humidifier knob is used to adjust the mist output. It's usually best to have the output on medium setting to allow the mist to be absorbed into the air.
You do not need a filter to run the humidifier. But if your tap water has a high mineral content you can use distilled water or purchase a Crane demineralization filter. If you use the humidifier continuously it's recommended to change the filter every month. You only need to use the filter if you have hard water. Please remember it's very important to clean your humidifier. Make sure you view our cleaning video for complete instructions.


text: Hello! I bought a new Trek 7300 last year. It has a stock seat on it and I am finding it to be a harsh ride. Let me back up a bit and say that three years ago I had surgery for a pilonidal cyst. It was not a pleasant experience to say the least. I felt a bike would allow me to get in better shape and enjoy some cardio away from my elliptical. Well the long and the short of it is that my bike seat irritates the old scar tissue and causes it to again re-fester. Does anyone have any personal experience with this problem and is there any seat recommendation that would take the stress off the area about 2-3 inches down from the tail bone? I really enjoyed the time I got on my new bike but I had to quit after only about 25 miles of riding. Thanks for any tips or help!

Last week in Paris we were amazed (and hosted) by the Champs Elysee Film Festival during their mid June event. Organized, founded and headed up by the indefatigable Sophie Dulac I think this event holds an important place for indie filmmakers of all countries today.
Mainly French but also European trade attended and the filmmakers got the unique chance to have one on one sessions with buyers and sales companies who had seen their projects.
I am impressed because this connection - filmmakers to trade - is so very hard at the always great (but huge!!) events such as Cannes. For me marketing and connecting to the trade - buyers and sellers - is almost as important for a filmmaker as making a great film (and this of course always the number 1 priority!!)
My basic question always to filmmakers is this - Considering the huge amount of films now made annually how do you intend to raise your head above the mass (of product) to reach your audience?
It struck me that reasonably sized (even small) events such as this Fest (and its amazing daily evening networking gatherings) is a very important way to go for indie filmmakers.
The large LARGE events dominate attention these days but quality smaller events such as this one I think may offer different and even more rewards (networking, deals, etc) for many producers.
In France weeks apart I attended Cannes Film Festival and its Marche du Film and then later Champs Elysee. Both are wonderful and the careful serious producer needs to evaluate for each production how they will use such promising venues to advance their business goals and find their audience.
Two events in particular stood out at Champs Elysee FF.
These were:
US in Progress
My partner Sydney Levine sat on the jury for this very interesting section of the Champs Elysee Film Festival.
US in Progress is a joint initiative between the American Film Festival in Wroclaw, Poland, the Champs-Élysées Film Festival (June 11-17, 2014) in Paris and Black Rabbit Film, created in 2011.
It is the first professional event dedicated to independent American films that are still in post-production. The goal of the event is for film-makers to show their work to potential European buyers in order to encourage their distribution and broadcast across Europe.
US in Progress takes place twice a year during two festivals: once in Paris, in June and once in Wroclaw, in October.
So, the question is relevant -
Why create an event in favor of the American cinema in Europe?
The founders reply -
There is no doubt in anybody's mind that today the European market is dominated by American films. But by American films we generally mean big budget films produced by big studios. These films are no doubt entertaining, but they only reflect a portion of what the US is all about. Outside of the big studios, there is a dynamic and interesting group of people making independent films but struggling to find distributors abroad. Independent productions often lack an efficient international strategy and European buyers are mostly unaware of the films being produced.
Thus, US in Progress aims at building new bridges between today's up-and-coming generation of talented American filmmakers and European buyers. In a word, we want to present the new faces of the US cinema to the European market.
The selection committee made up of the Champs-Élysées Film Festival/American Film Festival Wroclaw/Black Rabbit Film selects 4-5 films for each US in Progress. The selected feature films are presented to a panel of over 40 potential sellers, buyers, distributors, festivals and European producers. The films presented at US in Progress are feature films produced by well-known producers/directors as much as emerging ones.
These past two years, US in Progress Paris has received over 80 projects.
The second event that impressed me was -
This event is dedicated to international co-productions.
Les Arcs European Film Festival and Champs-Élysées Film Festival launched a partnership and created PARIS COPRODUCTION VILLAGE which was held on June 12-13
PARIS COPRODUCTION VILLAGE is a new platform for the development and the funding of selected feature films from around the world. It is organized by Les Arcs European Film Festival and the Champs-Élysées Film Festival. The goal of the two-day event is to encourage the Fest attending European film industry to get involved in international co-productions.
For two days, 12 to 15 international projects looking to build a French or European co-production were presented to producers, international sellers, distributors, backers, representatives of regional funds and festivals.
Moreover, the 6 residents of the Cinéfondation of the Cannes Festival were also involved in the selection.
Participants took part in private meetings, networking events, and seminars chaired by major figures of the cinema industry.

The Winstons: Color Him FatherRe-IssueCD
Price: $12.99
No Longer Available
(Get e-mailed if ever back in stock)
Product Details
SummaryColor Him Father was the only LP released by The Winstons, an amazing and surprisingly influential funk/soul group out of Washington, D.C. They originally formed as the backing band for now-forgotten singer Wayne Lagadeece, and when they were given the last-minute opportunity to play on their own, they named themselves after the brand of cigarette that leader Richard Spencer smoked. Their single "Color Him Father" cracked the top 10 in 1969 (and won the Grammy for "Best R&B Song") and the b-side, "Amen, Brother" is arguably the most sampled song of all time. Both of these cuts appear on their album, along with more than a dozen other slabs of solid funk. Remastered in 2011, The Winstons never sounded so good!

Handmade Code is our series where we showcase new and useful apps from our Developer Community. In this article, Jacqueline tells us about CraftLaunch.
Living in the artistic city of Austin, I know many Etsy sellers. My team and I built CraftLaunch to address the needs that sellers have expressed when it comes to their online presence.
CraftLaunch allows you to easily build a beautiful website for your business that will automatically feature your latest Etsy listings. So you get the best of both worlds: a dedicated website that builds your brand and tells your story, and Etsy's fantastic platform for selling merchandise. When they're connected, you'll never miss an opportunity to sell!
Using CraftLaunch is easy. You don't need any coding knowledge to build a site. When you sign up, you'll choose one of our professionally-designed templates as a starting point. You can add pages for your bio, show schedules or wholesale orders. We host the site, which can live at your domain (for instance, www.the-vintage-boutique.com) or a CraftLaunch.com URL (vintagechildmodern.craftlaunch.com).
Then comes the really exciting part: linking to Etsy. It just takes a few clicks to connect your CraftLaunch and Etsy accounts. Once everything's verified, every time you add an item to Etsy, it will show up on your website. You can choose the order in which you'd like the items listed on your site. (Think seasonal specials, holiday themes and special promotions.)
When customers browse your website, they can add items to their cart or post them to Facebook or Twitter. When they're done shopping, they'll be taken to Etsy to check out. That means you just pay listing fees once to Etsy. CraftLaunch charges a flat monthly fee of $14.95, which gives you unlimited pages and Etsy listings plus hosting, design templates, Google Analytics integration and search engine optimization.
We invite you all to sign up for a free 15-day trial (no credit card required) and let us know what you think. We just launched in July, so we'd love your feedback on how we can make your lives easier and help you build your brand.
Here's what Deby at Summer ScentSations had to say about her CraftLaunch experience:
"My CraftLaunch site was super easy to set up and personalize, and all the hard work was done for me! There's no need to duplicate work from Etsy — the content is added once, but I get twice the benefit! Having my own website makes me look more professional, individual and interesting. Plus, Google Analytics shows that people have already been spending more time looking at my products, and my customers are really happy!"
We have a dedicated support site with an extensive Knowledge Base and a way to post questions directly to our support staff. In addition, you can always convo us on Etsy. If you like CraftLaunch, please add us to your Etsy Circle so we can connect. Thanks, and happy selling!

"The dialogue between the new and old world": International confernce in Porto
The City of Porto, together with the member cities of Great Wine Capitals Global Network (GWC), is planning...
Red wine as an elixir for long life and good eyesight
Hartmut Glossman, a lecturer at Innsbruck Medical University, provided another proof of the health benefits that can be derived from moderate consumption of red wines when he participated in the world convention of the Society for Medical Plant Research. Known and highly regarded throughout the world as a pharmacologist and biochemist, Glossman told that red wine, drunk with moderation and never before 30 years of age, prevents cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer's disease, corrects cardiovascular insufficiencies, aids sexual activity and prolongs life expectancy because of its antioxidant properties.Glossman observed that the most recent studies conducted on diabetes, which is "considered a sort of plague of the 21st century," showed that measured consumption of red wine could be considered an excellent preventive. At the same time, the researcher emphasized the fact that anti-Alzheimer drugs have still not been developed. But he also noted that five clinical studies showed that moderate consumption of red wines lowers the risk of senility by 50%. Despite all the research, the studies published and the results reported, even in non-scientific journals, Professor Glossman was able to cite paradoxes in regard to wine and health that exist in some countries, especially the United States. There, wine is sold under labels that seem intended to terrorize consumers. The invaluable juice of the grape is described as dangerous for health without any distinction in respect to quality or certified origin.
Almost at the same time as the conference, the results of a study conducted by a group of Icelandic researchers were released. The research involved a total of 1,379 persons over 50 years of age and was aimed at verifying the onset of visual disturbances in relation to the ingestion of alcohol. In this case as well, the subjects more at risk for cataracts and glaucoma were heavy drinkers or non-drinkers. Prof. Fridbert Jonasson reported that the greater part of the persons subject to examination drink red wine since white is not much diffused in Iceland . If was not possible, therefore, to determine whether white wine offers the same protective effects on eyes.

Although they're both Matt Stone-Trey Parker productions, we'd never figure out how to bring "The Book of Mormon" into the "South Park" world. Fortunately, someone did.
Simon Chong, a fan of both the musical and television show, decided to make a video combining his favorites--and it's all pretty impressive.
With the video being an independent effort, not at all associated with either production, Chong provides a careful description of how he managed to create such a thing. For one, it took him a week to make, mostly using the animation technology (including Photoshop) that "South Park" utilizes. In addition to creating his own animation, Chong also borrowed from the recently-released video game "South Park: The Stick of Truth."
Check out a group of characters singing "Hello," below. You could also read Chong's notes on the YouTube page to find out exactly how he created his video.

From eggs and beef to quinoa and soy, these nutrient-rich recipes provide the perfect amount of protein to support your workout and build healthy muscle. By: Dana Angelo White, MS, RD, ATC
Steak and Salad
Choose flank steak for a lean yet flavorful beef option. Besides its high protein content, red meat is one of the most highly-absorbable sources of iron – also important for healthy muscles. Not a fan of beef? Make this recipe with chicken breast instead (a 3-ounce portion will pack in 24 grams of protein).

(Is there a better way to describe the McGrady/Artest Rockets team this year? I think not.)
Well Tracy, now when they write your NBA tombstone, it cannot be said that you were the greatest choker in league history. You've finally made it out of the first round and I, for one, would like to be the first to congratulate you.
Without your passionate leadership, commitment to team goals and tremendous skills, the Rockets would never have been able to overcome this tiny bump in the road that has been prevalent since your arrival. This season, this series, vindicates those 12 long seasons of playoff misses, first round debacles and injuries. You value as a captain, a defensive juggernaut and a true communicator were the obvious reasons the Rockets were finally able to transcend this mental barrier and mambo their way into May.
Your courageous, turbulent decision to undergo necessary, career lenghtening surgery this Spring was the clarion call to a team at once thought rudderless, stationary and unmotivated. Without your magnificent offensive explosions and locker room communication, you used a Jedi mind trick to help this team come together, work smarter and achieve these lofty goals, of which you have never lost sight.
So today Tracy, as we look back on your long list of accomplishments, I am sure it will be widely pronounced around the league that you, and you alone, helped guide this team to the second round. And you should be proud. Here's to you, brave T-Mac. Your destiny is complete!
Not any more T-Mac. Never, ever again.

New therapies for metastatic, ER-positive cancers?
- Question from enjoyful: Are there any promising, new therapies for metastatic, ER+ cancers?
- Answers - Kathy D. Miller, M.D. There was no specifically new hormonal therapy, but there was important information about fulvestrant or Faslodex. This medication has typically been given as an injection in the muscle once a month and has been effective in women with ER+ metastatic disease. We learned this year that using slightly higher doses of this drug makes it more effective, but does not increase the side effects. There was also an important study looking at combining fulvestrant with an aromatase inhibitor such as Arimidex (chemical name: anastrozole). In that study, the combination was not more effective than using the drugs by themselves. So while there wasn't a new therapy specifically for women with ER+ disease, we did learn important information about how to use these existing therapies more effectively.
On Tuesday, December 15, 2009, our Ask-the-Expert Online Conference was called Updates from the 2009 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. Kathy Miller, M.D. and Kristin Brill, M.D., F.A.C.S. answered your questions about the latest updates on breast cancer risk, screening techniques, treatment options, and more.
The materials presented in these conferences do not necessarily reflect the views of Breastcancer.org. A qualified healthcare professional should be consulted before using any therapeutic product or regimen discussed. All readers should verify all information and data before employing any therapies described here.

PUBLISHED Wed Oct 06 17:12:00 EDT 2010 0 1 / 13 Yeti Crab Its fuzzy, winter-white coat might look at home in the Himalaya, but the yeti crab was discovered skittering around hydrothermal vents about a mile and a half (2.4 kilometers) under the South Pacific off Easter Island (map) in March 2005.The 6-inch (15-centimeter), blind crustacean—officially Kiwa hirsuta—is among the more than 6,000 new species discovered during the Census of Marine Life, a ten-year effort to document all sea life that concluded Monday. (See "Six-hundred-year-Old Worms Among Surprises of Ten-year Sea Survey.")The project's 500-plus expeditions have also amassed a visual legacy as unique as the organisms uncovered—from which National Geographic News has selected these images as the 13 best of the census. (Read more about the yeti crab.) Photograph courtesy A. Fifis, IFREMER Sea Angel A 2005 Census of Marine Life expedition to the Arctic Ocean captured a so-called sea angel, Clione limacina, at about 1,148 feet (350 meters) underwater. Despite its nickname, this little angel apparently doesn't mind showing a little skin: It's actually a naked snail without a shell, scientists said in December 2009. Such marine snails—most of them the size of a lentil—are widely eaten by many species, making them the "potato chip" of the oceans, biologist Gretchen Hofmann, of the University of California, said in a 2008 statement.Clione limacina was also among the hundreds of species found living at both Poles during the Census of Marine Life, startling scientists. (See "Odd, Identical Species Found at Both Poles.") Photograph courtesy Kevin Raskoff, Monterey Peninsula College Squidworm Squid? Worm? Initially, this new species—with bristle-based "paddles" for swimming and tentacles on its head—so perplexed Census of Marine Life researchers that they threw in the towel and simply called it squidworm.Found via remotely operated vehicle about 1.7 miles (2.8 kilometers) under the Celebes Sea (see map) in 2007, the four-inch-long (ten-centimeter-long) creature turned out to the first member of a new family in the Polychaeta class of segmented worms.(See pictures: "New 'Green Bomber' Sea Worms Fire Glowing Blobs.") Photograph courtesy Laurence Madin, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Blue Christmas At the slightest touch, these "Christmas trees" temporarily disappear down a hole faster than you can say "Grinch." It's a defense mechanism of the Christmas tree worm, most of which resides in a tunnel it carves into live coral.Photographed off Australia's Lizard Island (map) by a Census of Marine Life expedition, the two blue trees are actually a single worm's "crowns"—each spiral is a series of tentacles used in breathing and in passive feeding on tiny, floating foodstuffs. Photograph courtesy John Huisman, Murdoch University Mr. Blobby Affectionately nicknamed "Mr. Blobby," this fathead sculpin fish was discovered in 2003 in New Zealand during a Census of Marine Life expedition, according to the Australian Museum in Sydney.Fathead sculpins—named for their large, globe-like heads and floppy skin—live in the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans at depths of between about 330 feet (100 meters) and 9,200 feet (2,800 meters).(Related: "Bizarre Gelatinous Fish Found in Brazil.")Now preserved in 70 percent ethyl alcohol at the Australian Museum, Mr. Blobby's nose has shrunk—"and he no longer retains his 'cute' look," according to the museum's website. Photograph courtesy Kerryn Parkingson, NORFANZ Dumbo of the Deep Found in 2009, a deep-sea "Dumbo octopus" (pictured) may look like it's all ears—but the protrusions are actually fins that help propel the animal through the darkness a mile (1.6 kilometers) under the sea. Netted during a Census of Marine Life expedition to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, this Dumbo is among the thousands of census-documented creatures that live without ever knowing sunlight.Reaching six feet (two meters) in length and weighing 13 pounds (6 kilograms), the jumbo Dumbo species is the largest of the octopus-like creatures of the mollusk genus Grimpoteuthis. (Related pictures: "New Deep-Sea Species Revealed by Marine Census.") Photograph courtesy David Shale "Terrible" Lobster This blind lobster, discovered in 2008 during a Census of Marine Life expedition, was given the scientific name Dinochelus ausubeli, which is derived from the Greek dinos, meaning terrible and fearful; chela, meaning claw; and ausubeli, in honor of Jesse Ausubel, a co-founder of the Census of Marine Life.The lobster likely uses its exaggerated claw, or cheliped, to defend against other crustaceans. Photograph courtesy Tin-Yam Chan, National Taiwan Ocean University, Keelung Collective Jellyfish Cousin This pink siphonophore, Athorybia rosacea, was found during a Census of Marine Life expedition in the Sargasso Sea (see map) in the eastern Atlantic.Like the Portuguese man-of-war (see picture), the new creature is actually a colonial organism, made up of many animals.(Also see "'City of Gonads' Jellyfish Discovered.") Photograph courtesy Laurence Madin, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Beautiful but Deadly "Stunningly beautiful but deadly," the Gulf of Mexico's Venus flytrap anemone (pictured) acts much like its terrestrial namesake, stinging its prey with an array of tentacles, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. (See pictures of more stinging and toxic sea creatures.)The species' native Gulf—along with the Mediterranean Sea, Chinese waters, the Baltic Sea, and the Caribbean Sea—are the ocean regions most under threat from human activities, according to Census of Marine Life scientists.For instance, nutrients in sewage and fertilizer washed from the land are degrading these marine habitats by creating oxygen-free "dead zones," the report says.What's more, the Gulf of Mexico oil spill may worsen these dead zones, as well as wield untold damage to the animals at the bottom of the food chain. Photograph courtesy Ian MacDonald, Florida State University Fiery Colony Discovered in 2005, this new physonect siphonophore is a colonial animal, made up of many repeated units—such as the nectophores, or swimming bells, on the right half above, which provide propulsion for the colony.Many specimens of Marrus orthocanna were observed between 980 feet (300 meters) and 4,900 feet (1,500 meters) deep during a 2009 Census of Marine Life expedition.Reaching 10 feet (3.1 meters) in length, some siphonophores are among the largest animals in the deep sea, experts say. Photograph courtesy Kevin Raskoff, Monterey Peninsula College Baby Slipper Lobster This baby slipper lobster, found during a Census of Marine Life expedition, is completely transparent, though as the creature grows, a thick shell will cover it.The lobster's bizarre eyes may confuse predators while it floats among plankton, or tiny animals, according to the new National Geographic Society book Citizens of the Sea: Wondrous Creatures From the Census of Marine Life. (The Society owns National Geographic News.)(See "Lobsters to Be Supersized by Climate Change?") Photograph courtesy Peter Parks, SeaPics.com, from the book Citizens of the Sea Poisonous Sea Slug The poisonous sea slug Phyllidia ocellata, which lives on coral reefs, was found during a Census of Marine Life expedition. Its vibrant coloration warns predators that this slug is off the menu, according to the National Geographic Society book Citizens of the Sea: Wondrous Creatures From the Census of Marine Life.(See more sea slug pictures: "Fiery Sea Slug Discovered, Lays Lacy Egg Case.") Photograph by Darlyne A. Murawski, National Geographic, from the book Citizens of the Sea Night Watch Researcher Niel Bruce of the Museum of Tropical Queensland studies marine specimens in a lighted aquarium off Australia's Lizard Island (see map) in an undated picture.The massive Census of Marine Life inventory "was urgently needed for two reasons," final census report author Mark Costello said in a statement."First, dwindling expertise in taxonomy impairs society's ability to discover and describe new species. And secondly, marine species have suffered major declines—in some cases 90 percent losses—due to human activities and may be heading for extinction, as happened to many species on land."

Belfast City Council taking legal advice on George Galloway visit
Belfast City Council is to seek legal advice on a scheduled event featuring controversial politician George Galloway.
The MP for Bradford West has said he will not withdraw from the event after comments he made about Israelis earlier this month.
Galloway urged his constituents to declare Bradford an 'Israeli-free zone."
He said: "We have declared Bradford an Israel-free zone.
"We don't want any Israeli goods, we don't want any Israeli services, we don't want any Israeli academics coming to the university or the college, we don't even want any Israeli tourists to come to Bradford, even if any of them had thought of doing so.
"We reject this illegal, barbarous, savage state that calls itself Israel. And you have to do the same."
Now a Belfast City Councillor,opposed to the event taking place on BCC premises, the DUP's Brian Kingston, has written to the BCC director of development following a recent rise in anti-Semitic attacks in Northern Ireland.
Last week we reported on how pensioner Sarah Clarke was punched in the street for wearing a Poppy.
Her attacker called her a "Jew-lover" and hurled other anti-Semitic abuse.
Kingston said: "I have written to Belfast City Council director of development expressing concern about a booking for George Galloway to speak at the Ulster Hall next week."
"We have asked for that booking to be reviewed, we think it is inappropriate at this time of tension in light of his highly controversial comments.
"He goes far beyond calling for a boycott, he is rejecting and demonising an entire country and its people."
Galloway has said he will not withdraw from the event on August 23.

Got a minute?
Got a minute?
Getting ready for a job interview can feel scarier than the worst final exam. You know you need to prepare, but there are so many things you could do ahead of time, and only so much time to do them in. Don't let the pre-interview stress melt your brain. Just follow these very simple steps, and that interview can turn into your first meeting with your new boss.
1. Do your homework.
Adrien Fraise, founder of career coaching company Modern Guild tells The New York Times that it's important to research the company and the industry at large before heading into an interview. Ideally, you want to be able to talk about industry trends can affect the company you're interviewing with.
Just like studying for a big exam, it's best if you don't leave this to one last-minute cram session. A few minutes of research spread out over a few days will be easier on your noggin than a last-minute push to read everything ever printed about your prospective employer.
2. Put on your uniform.
If possible, find out how people dress at the company you're interviewing with, and use that as your guide. One caveat, however: if folks come to work wearing jammies and sweats, that doesn't mean that you should interview in the same. It's good to be just a little more dressed up than the average person, as long as you're not wearing a three-piece suit while the interviewer is wearing flip-flops -- or vice versa.
3. Think about how you can add value.
It's always a good idea to run through some of the standard interview questions before you meet with the hiring manager, and when you do, keep your skills, problem-solving experience, and expertise in mind. Adrien Fraise suggests that you come prepared with a few anecdotes to illustrate the value you'd add to the company, just in case you're asked to walk the interviewer through your resume. Then practice, practice, practice.
4. Develop your elevator pitch.
Be able to sum up your experience -- professional or academic, if you were recently a student -- in one minute or less. That way, you won't be left hemming and hawing if you're asked to describe your previous jobs.
5. Turn off your cell phone.
It can never be said too much or too often: turn that phone off. You want to keep distractions to a minimum, look for ways to connect with your interviewer, and above all, be polite. Nothing ruins all those things faster than a buzzing phone.

Writer's block has been following me around over the past couple of days with more persistence than the hemorrhoids did during my second pregnancy. Sometimes, creative constipation hits when life takes aim with both barrels and peppers me with calamity. Other times, I find myself bound up by the clogged toilets of my existence. On the flip side of that—joy can rob me of the discipline needed to uncork something wonderful as well. Ever been just too happy to make something? That kind of YEEHAW feels magnificent—until I have deadlines. Then I find myself trying to dig the hairballs out of my creative pipes so something can flow to the damnable empty screen. Ever change the color of your word processing background just so it's not so white?
Earlier in the week, I shared my little wogging adventures with my iPod. If I have time and child care each day, my waddles through the soybean field provide daily fiber and keep writer's blockage at bay. No matter how much fiber I take in, sometimes I just have to sit at this computer and strain. And it hurts!
A wonderful artist friend of mine who paints seven days a week once told me, "Just show up every day at the same time." Since she has paintings in galleries all over the world, this must work magically for her.
"If you don't show up for your creativity, the spirits won't think you're serious, and they won't help you," she said.
God, how true is that? The Muse has been known to go silent for long periods of time when I blow off my work for something else, like closet cleaning or sufficient house maintenance to keep the health department at bay. As I look around this room, toys, baby wipes, sippy cups, a dishtowel (a dishtowel?), hair bows, books, and another dishtowel (how the hell did two dishtowels find their way into the living room?) cover this floor. The room smells funny. Everyone could use some clean underwear; I'm thinking we may have to all go commando. The Muse, however, had been keeping me busy. She'd been right there tapping me on the shoulder, whispering profane things into my ear.
The wily wench has been testing me for the last couple of days, though. She stays quiet until I come to the computer. She makes me sit here sometimes, pushing. She carries me to the brink of my time limitations, then she spews.
Today is an excellent example. A healthy dose of Ick recently fell on my head. In times past, Ick sends me running from the computer with my tail between my legs, but not anymore. Today, I'm learning that I can unplug my own creative constipation by dragging myself out of bed and plopping it in front of the computer. How do you unpop your cork?
This blog post brought to you by the makers of "Get Off Your Ass and Make Something," a soul laxative and perfect antidote to your everyday ICK.

A wowee of a doll set with six--count them- -all six of the main characters done up in a splendid carrying case package. There is a 12-inch Cinderella, of course, in a ball gown, but her cinder dress, an extra gown, plus a dress form. Ready for playing out the story (or new ones) is the rest of the cast all dressed in their satiny gowns. Her wicked looking stepmother, two very ugly sisters, the prince, and her sear fairy godmother. The dolls can be posed with jointed legs and arms, though their little feet will not let them stand on their own. All together this is a pricey but special gift for pretend play-not merely for display. Marked 3 & up, this makes more sense for 5 & up.

I write this article on September 7, 2013, the day when the world is invited to the urgent task of praying for peace, in Syria, the extended Middle East, and around the world. An historic day, when the Holy Father Francis is personally leading a global day of prayer and fasting - and unleashing the most powerful weapon we have against the growing scourge of violence - the Love of God. This is the only source and means to authentic peace, as individuals, as a Church, as Nation-states and as a global community. In a world which is spiraling out of control, we who bear the name Christian are called to live in this true peace, in order to bring others to the One who its Source, Jesus Christ.

CHESAPEAKE, VA. (Catholic Online) - I recently had the privilege of once again visiting the Catholic Archdiocese of Denver, Colorado. I had not visited Denver since Archbishop Chaput was reassigned to Philadelphia. So, I had never personally met the Most Rev. Samuel J. Aquila. He was installed as the Archbishop of Denver last year. My time with the Archbishop was the highlight of my trip to that Archdiocese which, as I have written, is a sure and hopeful sign of the fruits of the New Evangelization.
What impressed me the most about this dear man of God was his humility. What also became so very clear in my time there was its source, not some-thing but Some-one. Archbishop Aquila has an intimate personal communion with the Lord Jesus Christ, the kind which is only sustained through a life of real prayer. That is why, when I came upon his short teaching on prayer at the web site of the Conference of catholic Bishops, I wanted to present it to our readers.
I write this article on September 7, 2013, the day when the world is invited to the urgent task of praying for peace, in Syria, the extended Middle East, and around the world. An historic day, when the Holy Father Francis is personally leading a global day of prayer and fasting - and unleashing the most powerful weapon we have against the growing scourge of violence - the Love of God. This is the only source and means to authentic peace, as individuals, as a Church, as Nation-states and as a global community.
In a world which is spiraling out of control, we who bear the name Christian are called to live in this true peace. We are also called to bring others to the One who its Source, Jesus Christ. At the Last Supper, right before he walked the Way of the Cross for each one of us, Jesus spoke these words to his disciples: "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid". (John 14:27) We need to hear these words today, deep inside. In that place the Scripture refers to as the heart. The path to true peace passes through prayer.
Jesus sets forth the relational framework for a life of prayer in the prayer we have come to know as the Our Father. In the Gospel of St. Luke, after teaching them to pray, he tells the disciples a parable concerning one type of prayer, persevering prayer for needs. (Luke 11:1-13) However, His entire time with the disciples is an instruction in Prayer. He shows them the pattern of living in a continual communion with the Father. He invites them - and he invites us - into the communion of love which He has with the Father, in the Spirit. This is not an unatainable aspiration! It is an invitation into t new way of living, a life of communion with God.
Through His saving Incarnation, His Life, Death, Resurrection and Ascension, Jesus removes the impediment to all of us our entering into this true peace and communion. He also capacitates us to begin living in that communion in the here and now, by cultivating lives of true prayer. Through prayer he shows us the path to the peace we long for and makes it possible, beginning right now. Not only that, but he enlists us in bringing the world to this true peace.
After the Resurrection, the Apostle Paul, who had not walked with the Lord during His earthly ministry, but became a witness to the Resurrection, wrotes these compelling words: "Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. In all circumstances give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. Do not quench the Spirit." (1 Thess. 5:16-19) St. Paul wrote those words to the early Christians in Greece. They did not live lives of ease, in any sense of the word. They had families, occupations, and struggles, beyond what many of us could imagine. They also suffered greatly for their faith.
He instructed them to Pray without ceasing. Did he really mean it? I believe that he did. The older I get, the simpler life gets. That does not mean it is "easy". I speak of spiritual simplicity, the kind of attitude which gets right to the root of what really matters. I believe that Paul meant what he said to the Christians at Thessalonica and that his words are important to those who bear the name Christian today.
Prayer is an ongoing dialogue of intimate communion with God. God fashioned men and women as the crown of His creation, creating us in His Image, for this loving, relational conversation of life with Him. At the heart of understanding what it means to be created in His Image is to understand the immense gift of human freedom and what has happened to our capacity to choose. Love is never coerced, it is freely given and received.
Our relationship with God was broken, separated and wounded through the first sin, what is called in theological terms, original sin. That sin, like all sin since, is, at root, a misuse of human freedom infected by pride and self sufficiency. Our ability to exercise our freedom rightly, to live in His Image by directing our capacity for free choice always toward the good, was impeded through the resulting fall. Freedom itself was fractured. It must be healed, repaired, restored, and recreated - and that only occurs through the splint of the Cross of Jesus Christ and His Resurrection from the dead.
The Good News is that through Jesus Christ, the way of freedom is open, it is a way for an even fuller communion with God. Through His Incarnation - His Saving life, Death and Resurrection - it all begins again. In Jesus Christ we are being re-created, re-fashioned and redeemed, right now, as we cooperate with grace. He comes to live in all who choose freely to make a place for Him within the center of their lives. This making a place is the essence of Christian prayer. Prayer is not about doing, but about being, in a relationship of love, a communion, with the Trinity. That is available to everyone of us, in and through Jesus Christ.
The Lord wants us to freely choose to respond to His continual invitations to love. We will only find our fulfillment as human persons by entering into that kind of relationship. This is the meaning and purpose of life itself. As we grow in faith through our participation in the life of grace, lived out in the Church, fed on the Sacraments, nourished by the Word and apostolic instruction, our capacity to respond to His loving invitation grows as well, through true prayer. Prayer is also the pathway to that peace which the world cannot give - and the world cannot take away.
Prayer is about falling in love with God. Isaac of Ninevah was an early eighth century monk, Bishop and theologian. For centuries he was mostly revered in the Eastern Christian Church for his writings on prayer. In the last century the beauty of his insights on prayer are being embraced once again by both lungs, East and West, of the Church. He wrote these words in one of his many treatises on Prayer:
"When the Spirit dwells in a person, from the moment in which that person has become prayer, he never leaves him. For the Spirit himself never ceases to pray in him. Whether the person is asleep or awake, prayer never from then on departs from his soul. Whether he is eating or drinking or sleeping or whatever else he is doing, even in deepest sleep, the fragrance of prayer rises without effort in hid heart. Prayer never again deserts him."
"At every moment of his life, even when it appears to stop, it is secretly at work in him continuously, one of the Fathers, the bearers of Christ, says that prayer is the silence of the pure. For their thoughts are divine motions. The movements of the heart and the intellect that have been purified are the voices full of sweetness with which such people never cease to sing in secret to the hidden God."
The Christian faith answers the existential questions that plague every human heart and trouble every generation. Through His Incarnation, Saving Life, Death, and Resurrection, Jesus opens full communion with God for all men and women. He leads us out of the emptiness and despair that is the rotted fruit of narcissism, nihilism and materialism. When we enter into the dialogue of prayer, we can actually experience a progressive, dynamic and intimate relationship with God and He transforms us from within, restoring His Image and moving us toward his Likeness, as fully revealed in Jesus Christ.
We, as Isaac said, can "become prayer" as we empty ourselves in order to be filled with Him.
Through prayer, daily life takes on new meaning. It becomes a classroom of communion. In that classroom we learn the truth about who we are - and who we are becoming - in Jesus. Through prayer we receive new glasses through which we see the true landscape of life. Through prayer darkness is dispelled and the path of progress is illuminated.
Through prayer we begin to understand why this communion seems so elusive at times; as we struggle with our own disordered appetites, and live in a manner at odds with the beauty and order of the creation within which we dwell only to find a new beginning whenever we confess our sin and return to our first love. Prayer opens us up to Revelation, expands our capacity to comprehend truth and equips us to change.
Through prayer we are drawn by Love into a deepening relationship with Jesus whose loving embrace on the hill of Golgotha bridged heaven with earth; His relationship with His Father is opened now to us; the same Spirit that raised Him from the dead begins to give us new life as we are converted, transfigured and made new.
Through prayer, heavenly wisdom is planted in the field of our hearts and we experience a deepening communion with the Trinitarian God. We become, in the words of the Apostle Peter "partakers of the divine nature." (2 Peter 1:4) That participation will only be fully complete when we are with Him in the fullness of His embrace, in Resurrected Bodies in a New Heaven and a New earth, but it begins now, in the grace of this present moment.
The beloved disciple John became prayer. He writes in the letter he penned in his later years: "See what love the Father has bestowed on us that we may be called the children of God. Yet so we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him. Beloved, we are God's children now; what we shall be has not yet been revealed. We do know that when it is revealed we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. Everyone who has this hope based on him makes himself pure, as he is pure. Everyone who commits sin commits lawlessness, for sin is lawlessness" 1John 3:1-4
As we become prayer our daily life becomes the field of choice and we are capacitated to choose the "more excellent way" of love of which the great Apostle paul wrote. (1 Cor. 13) Pondering the implications of the exercise of our human freedom becomes a regular part of our life, as we learn to "examine our conscience", repent of our sin and become joyful penitents. Prayer provides the environment for such recollection as it exposes the darkness and helps us surrender it to the light of Love, the Living God dwelling within us.
Becoming prayer is possible for all Christians, no matter their state in life or vocation, because God holds nothing back from those whom He loves. This relationship of communion is initiated by Him. Our part is to respond. That response should flow from a heart that beats in surrendered love, in the process of being freed from the entanglements that weigh us down.
The God who is Love hungers for the communion of sons and daughters - and we hunger for communion with Him - because He made us this way. Nothing else will satisfy. The early Church Father Origen once wrote: "Every spiritual being is, by nature, a temple of God, created to receive into itself the glory of God."
We were made in the image of God and are now being recreated into His likeness in Jesus Christ. As we "become prayer', that likeness begins to emerge. We give ourselves fully to the One who gave Himself to us and cry out with Jesus Christ "Abba Father." No longer alienated, we participate in the inner life of God who now dwells within us. We also dwell in Him through His Spirit. This dwelling is prayer. It is not about doing or getting but about being, becoming, receiving, giving, and loving. We will live the way we love and we will love the way we pray.
A wonderful spiritual writer of our own time, Fr. Henri Nouwen, understood the intimacy of prayer and the call to live in God. He wrote these words in his work entitled Lifesigns: "Jesus, in whom the fullness of God dwells, has become our home by making his home in us he allows us to make our home in him. By entering into the intimacy of our innermost self he offers us the opportunity to enter into his own intimacy with God."
"By choosing us as his preferred dwelling place, he invites us to choose him as our preferred dwelling place. This is the mystery of the incarnation. Here we come to see what discipline in the spiritual life means. It means a gradual process of coming home to where we belong and listening there to the voice which desires our attention. Home is the place where that first love dwells and speaks gently to us. Prayer is the most concrete way to make our home in God."
We are His contemporary disciples. We need to ask Jesus the same question, Lord, Teach us to Pray. Then, filled with His Divine Life within us, we learn to become prayer by learning to "make our home in God". The path to true peace passes through prayer.Let us walk in that way together and bring a war weary world with us.
