Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman has caught a lot of flack for her largely self-funded campaign. In round numbers, Whitman has now contributed $119 million of the $144 million in her campaign bank account. That eclipses the $109 million spent by Michael Bloomberg in his recent re-election for New York mayor. Moreover, if the past is any indication of the future, Whitman may add another $35-50 million in the final six weeks, bringing her total to well over $150 million.
You can do that when your estimated worth is $1.3 billion.
Opponents are grousing that Whitman is simply trying to buy the campaign by spending at will. Maybe, maybe not. But let's take a big step back for a moment to analyze the real outcomes from Whitman's controversial approach.
Whitman has a point when she says that her self-funded campaign leaves her independent of just about anyone else. Outside contributors know that their relatively insignificant donations aren't going to have much of an impact on someone willing to do it all, herself. Whitman is clearly beholden to no one.
She should also be given credit for doing what few of us ever do--Whitman wants the job and she's putting her money where her mouth is. To fault her for lack of commitment to her cause would be a cheap shot and nothing less.
So what's the problem here, if any? It's not that Whitman has self-funded her campaign. It's the crushing amount of the dollars she's spent that's troublesome. Whitman has dominated the airwaves and just about every other means of communication to the point that she has drowned out Democratic opponent Jerry Brown. There simply isn't any room for Brown's voice to be heard over the massive Whitman megaphone. It's a matter of proportionality.
The fact is, we know an awful lot about Whitman, or at least what she wants us to know, but we know little about Jerry Brown other than the way Whitman has defined him for us.
In the end, the issue is not whether Whitman is wrong to self-fund her campaign--more power to her. The real problem is the incredible imbalance between what Whitman is spending and what Brown can raise from traditional campaign contributors, including his labor allies.
Crushing the opposition may be a perfectly good tool in the world of business. Overwhelming the opposition in an election to the point that it can't be heard, however, has a different, more disconcerting ring.

It took almost 18 months, but Facebook shares reached an all-time high of $45.09 Wednesday, but some investors are still unhappy that the social network's initial public offering didn't live up to its hype.
The shares rose to $45.09 Wednesday afternoon, higher than the previous record set on May 18, 2012 in the first few hours of Facebook trading, according to the Wall Street Journal. Facebook's initial public offering was priced at $38, but spent the majority of its history selling considerably less than that.
Part of the reason for the high price is because of positive reports of earnings and increased mobile ad sales. However, critics are still upset that the Facebook stock didn't live up to the hype surrounding its IPO. After falling below $38 in May 2012, it didn't reach $38 again until August 2013.
U.S. & World
At TechCrunch Disrupt, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg advised Twitter, which is working on its IPO, to not be "afraid of going public," according to AllThingsD.
"Having gone through a terrible first year, it made our company a lot stronger," Zuckerberg said,but apparently he realized that his advice on may not be helpful. "I'm kind of the person you would want to ask last on how to make a smooth IPO."

The Los Angeles Rams were off to a 2-4 start as they hosted the Detroit Lions (4-2) at Anaheim Stadium on October 24, 1993. The Rams had fallen on hard times since going 11-5 in 1989 and making it to the NFC Championship game. In the intervening three seasons they were a combined 14-34. Nine-year Head Coach John Robinson had been replaced by Chuck Knox in '92 – it was a second stint in LA for the coach who had led the club to a 57-20-1 mark and five division titles from 1973-77. A 6-10 tally in 1992 had been considered progress.
Los Angeles added quality with first round draft choices DT Sean Gilbert in 1992 and RB Jerome Bettis in '93. But while Gilbert was putting together a Pro Bowl season and Bettis had gained 187 yards in the previous two games, eighth-year veteran QB Jim Everett was still in a prolonged slump and had thrown 9 interceptions as opposed to 7 touchdowns.
The Lions, under Head Coach Wayne Fontes, relied most heavily on star RB Barry Sanders. With an improved defense under the guidance of defensive coordinator Hank Bullough, Detroit had held its opponents to 20 or fewer points in five of the six games thus far.
The first quarter was scoreless. Detroit's offense drove to the LA 28 yard line on its second possession, with QB Rodney Peete connecting with WR Herman Moore on passes that covered 15 and 18 yards, but Jason Hanson missed a 45-yard field goal attempt.
The Rams got a break in the second quarter when CB Todd Lyght intercepted a Peete pass at midfield. But a drive to the Detroit 23 ended with Everett being intercepted by CB Tim McKyer. In the last two minutes of the half, another Rams drive ended when Everett fumbled at the Detroit 44 and NT Lawrence Pete recovered for the Lions. Eight plays later, Hanson was successful on a 25-yard field goal attempt as time ran out and the Lions went into halftime with a 3-0 lead.
Bettis had run well for the Rams, gaining 85 yards on 16 carries, but Everett was a dismal two of nine for 12 yards passing. Sanders gained 50 yards on 15 attempts for the Lions.
The third quarter promised more futility for the Rams as they went three-and-out on their first possession, which ended with Everett being sacked. But following a 12-play drive by the Lions that resulted in another Hanson field goal, this time from 24 yards, Knox benched the ineffective veteran quarterback and replaced him with second-year backup T.J. Rubley (pictured at top).
Rubley had been selected by the Rams in the ninth round of the 1992 draft out of Tulsa. He had played well in the preseason but saw no action during his rookie year and was making his regular season NFL debut against the Lions.
In his first series, Rubley largely kept the ball on the ground, handing off to Bettis five times for 25 yards. He took off on a six-yard run himself and completed one of three passes before the Rams were forced to punt.
Taking over on the last play of the third quarter, Detroit's offense methodically drove down the field. The big play was a 40-yard pass completion from Peete to WR Aubrey Matthews to get to the LA 25 yard line. Six plays later, Sanders ran around end for a five-yard touchdown and the Lions had what appeared to be a safe 13-0 lead.
However, Rubley completed five of six passes on the next possession, took off on an 11-yard run along the way, and with the last completion hit WR Ernie Jones for a four-yard touchdown.
The Lions went three-and-out on their next possession and Rubley and the Rams took over at their own 32 with 3:39 left to play. The young quarterback tossed two completions to veteran WR Henry Ellard that totaled 17 yards and then found WR Todd Kinchen for 24 to the Detroit 21 yard line. Two plays later, and just after the two-minute warning, Rubley connected with Jones once again for a 21-yard touchdown. While Tony Zendejas missed the extra point attempt, the score was now tied at 13-13.
There would be no storybook ending for LA on this day, however. Peete completed two passes, including a key 25-yard completion to TE Rodney Holman that set up an 18-yard field goal by Hanson and the Lions prevailed, 16-13.
In relief of Everett, T.J. Rubley completed 12 of 17 passes for 151 yards with two touchdowns and none intercepted. Jerome Bettis had another outstanding day as he gained 113 yards on 23 carries. Todd Kinchen was the leading receiver with four catches for 60 yards (Henry Ellard also caught four passes, for 32 yards).
For Detroit, Barry Sanders ran for 91 yards on 26 carries, including the one TD. Rodney Peete was successful on 15 of 25 pass attempts for 249 yards and an interception. Herman Moore gained 120 yards on 6 pass receptions.
Rubley's magic wore off over the remainder of the season. While he led Los Angeles to two wins, overall the team went 5-11 to finish at the bottom of the NFC West. Rubley completed 57.1 % of his passes for 1338 yards with eight touchdowns and six interceptions. In the offseason, Everett was dealt to New Orleans but Chris Miller was obtained from Atlanta to take over the starting role, and another veteran, Chris Chandler, arrived to be the backup. Rubley became an afterthought.
More lasting success came to Jerome Bettis, who ranked second in the NFL with 1429 yards rushing on 294 carries. He outrushed Barry Sanders, who gained 1115 yards on 243 carries for the Lions. Detroit went 10-6 and won the NFC Central but fell to the Packers in the Wild Card playoff round.
As a footnote, T.J. Rubley's NFL career came to a bad – and abrupt – end. After seeing no action with the Rams in 1994, he moved on to become the number three quarterback in Green Bay in '95. In a game against Minnesota, both starter Brett Favre and primary backup Ty Detmer were injured and Rubley entered with the score tied at 38-38. On a third-and-one play, Head Coach Mike Holmgren called for a quarterback sneak, but Rubley audibled and passed instead. The throw was bad and the Vikings intercepted and drove to the winning score. Holmgren cut Rubley the following week, and while he saw action with the World League of American Football and Canadian Football League, he was done in the NFL.

Salaam and Greetings of Peace:
A yellow dog came to visit today. He was friendly and young and full of energy, perhaps a year old, a Labrador retriever, his nose to the ground sniffing for a familiar scent. He circled the house and my wife saw him through a window out of the corner of her eye; a lean, hungry yellow dog by the look of him, his ribs plainly visible.
Fortunately, the previous tenant had left a couple of cans of dog food, and as my wife enticed him with a piece of bread, I opened both for him, along with a big bowl of water. He ran up onto the porch without any prompting, being obviously used to people, and ate it all happily and drank most of the water. He seemed so happy to see us, and to be treated like a welcome guest. He sniffed us both and circled the house again, and then was off, following whatever scent he had picked up. I thought he was lost, or got separated from his owners, and was making his way back to them. He looked as if he had been on the road many days. I have read that lost dogs sometimes travel hundreds of miles to their old home.
We were happy to help him on his journey. My wife grew up on a farm and has an affinity with all creatures great and small. And ever since his appearance, my heart has had such a feeling of love and gratitude that I can hardly describe it.
I think it came from the yellow dog.
Even though we didn't do anything extraordinary, this chance encounter, if chance it was, was a blessing for us. We had in a small way helped one of God's creatures on his journey home, inshallah. There is an old Persian saying: "A guest is God's friend."
It may have come from this old Sufi tale:
There was a darvish who one day sought a guest from God. "O Lord of the World," he said in his heart, "may a guest come from You tomorrow, so that I may treat him as befits one of Your friends." The following day he made preparations for his guest. The darvish cleaned his small home and prepared a meal fit for a Friend of God.
As he was keeping a lookout in all directions while waiting outside for the guest to arrive, a thin and hungry mongrel dog wandered by and, smelling the food, begged for a morsel. The darvish chased him away, not out of meanness, but in his anxiety that nothing should spoil this occasion. And so he waited and waited, but despite all his expectations, no one came. He finally fell asleep in a heartbroken and agitated state.
"O self-absorbed one," said God in a dream, "I sent along a dog as one of My own, so that you might make him your guest, but you heedlessly sent him away."
Alhamdulillah! That the friend of the Friend was made welcome here, and our hearts were gladdened by his visit.
Ya Haqq!
NOTE: The Sufi tale is originally from Fariduddin Attar's Mosibat-Nama (Book of Adversity), and can be found in Dogs from a Sufi Point of View by Dr. Javad Nurbakhsh. It is also told in a slightly different version, about Moses and the beggar, in the first chapter of Master of the Jinn, which you can read as an excerpt on the book's website by clicking HERE.

Dear members,
in the past days I was testing several functions of the forum. It seems that we do have a problem whenever the usage of emails is required. I was able to change the user registration - no more activation email is required. Howevever, if the password is forgotten and needs to be reset - it still requires emails to be sent out. And this email is not reaching the user's mail-box for whatever reason.
As this is not in my power to Change by myself, I have thought about a work-around until we can solve this problem.
Please be patient with me, I am working, sometimes traveling without access to internet and I may not be able to always answer immediately with a new password.
Thanks for your patience,

The annual Perseid Meteor shower peaks Thursday night and lasts through Friday morning. If you want to take in the show, you'll want to stay up late or wake up extra early.
In perfect conditions stargazers can see 60 to 90 "shooting stars" per hour. However, this year European countries may be able to see up to 200 meteors per hour.
And you can thank the planet Jupiter. Every twelve years Jupiter passes through the comet's orbit. This crossing occurred in 2014. The giant planet's gravity moved the particles toward the Earth and on Thursday night, those particles will arrive in Europe. But because it will be daytime in the United States, the West Coast will miss out on this enhanced activity. The East Coast of the U.S. will get a little better show than in past years.
The particles, or meteors, are about the size, shape and color of Grape Nuts cereal flakes. These tiny pieces of debris, known as Perseids, enter Earth's atmosphere at 37 miles per second, creating a hot streak of superheated air that is visible from the ground as a streak of light. They burn up, never reaching the surface of the Earth.
U.S. & World
The Perseids get their name because the meteor showers "radiant," the perspective point of origin, is the constellation Perseus.
Though some may mistakenly call them "shooting stars," they are actually bits of rubble that were shed in 1479 by the Comet Swift-Tuttle. This stream of Perseids orbit the sun and every August the Earth passes through the stream.
[NATL-LA] Mars Explorers Wanted: NASA Shares Recruitment Posters
Any kind of light will hinder viewing of the meteor shower, including light from the moon. No special equipment is required to see the shower. Simply go outside with an open view and away from as many city lights as possible, including street lights and house lights.
The first-quarter phase moon will set around 12:30 a.m. PST Friday, making for peak viewing between 1 and 5:30 a.m. Friday. Begin by gazing northeast and as the night goes on, if the skies are clear, you won't miss a thing by looking straight up. Lying down on a blanket or a lawn chair is a good idea too. If you are in a big city with a lot of lights you can still see the show by clicking this site: Bareket Observatory in Israel. Astronomers invite you to join them Aug. 11 beginning at 19:00 UT (12 p.m. PST).

I don't remember seeing a plethora of studs on the runway for Spring 2013, and heavy metal embellishments are usually more of a staple of fall collections (more on that tomorrow, actually). The more I thought about it though, these bags may have come about, at least in part, as a response to the enduring, perhaps even increasing, popularity of the Valentino Rockstud line, which has enjoyed seasons of success because of its smart combination of traditional femininity, luxury and toughness.
Some of these designers, like Alexander McQueen and Christian Louboutin, would undoubtedly be using the punk metal embellishments. For a brand like Tory Burch or Diane von Furstenberg, though, the Rockstud's longevity is proof positive that women are drawn to the combination of two such disparate styles. Perhaps because bold details are more easily digestible in small amounts, the trend has manifested itself in tons of clutches, pouches and minaudieres. Below, we've picked the best, including plenty of colorful options that will make studs easier to pull off in the coming warm weather, starting at $128.

Consensus Report
Review of the Federal Ocean Acidification Research and Monitoring Plan (2013)Ocean Studies Board
Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review; while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy. Learn more on our expert consensus reports.
The world's ocean has already experienced a 30% rise in acidity since the industrial revolution, with acidity expected to rise 100 to 150% over preindustrial levels by the end of this century. Potential consequences to marine life and also to economic activities that depend on a healthy marine ecosystem are difficult to assess and predict, but potentially devastating. To address this knowledge gap, Congress passed the Federal Ocean Acidification Research and Monitoring (FOARAM) Act in 2009, which, among other things, required that an interagency working group create a "Strategic Plan for Federal Research and Monitoring of Ocean Acidification." This National Research Council (NRC ) report reviews the strategic plan on the basis of how well it fulfills program elements laid out in the FOARAM Act and follows the advice provided to the working group in the NRC's 2010 report, Ocean Acidification: A National Strategy to Meet the Challenges of a Changing Ocean. This report concludes that, overall, the plan is strong and provides a comprehensive framework for improving our understanding of ocean acidification. Potential improvements include a better defined strategy for implementing program goals, stronger integration of the seven broad scientific themes laid out in the FOARAM Act, and better mechanisms for coordination among federal agencies and with other U.S. and international efforts to address ocean acidification.
Key Messages
- The Strategic Plan presents a comprehensive framework for improving our understanding of ocean acidification, broadly defined to span the physical, chemical, biological, and socioeconomic sciences.
- The Strategic Plan follows the seven themes laid out in the FOARAM Act, but it treats the themes largely as independent sets of activities without elaborating on how coordination among the agencies and integration of themes will be accomplished.
The following modifications would strengthen the Strategic Plan:
- Articulate a clear vision statement that conveys the importance of ocean resources to society and how ocean acidification might impact these resources. - Describe a process and criteria by which the IWGOA will set priorities within and among themes. - Develop a process for periodic reevaluation of priorities, including metrics to evaluate progress towards the Program's goals. - Describe a process that would ensure better integration across the seven Themes and illustrate the interrelationships among the themes. - Specify a mechanism for coordination among federal agencies and with other ocean acidification efforts in the U.S. and abroad.
- The establishment of a National Ocean Acidification Program Office—as called for in the Strategic Plan—could play a central role in coordinating and integrating activities of the program, but the Strategic Plan needs to provide greater clarity about the creation, function, and governance of such an office.

Visit us At 5th and Market Streets on Independence Mall
One of the most gratifying things about interacting with visitors of the Museum is – to borrow a phrase from Oprah Winfrey – to see their "Aha" moments.
For those closer to the American Jewish experience perhaps an "aha" of recognition comes after seeing a pair of Shabbat candles, a brief experience that transports them to the familiar sights, sounds and smells of their grandmother's Friday night table. And for those farther from the American Jewish experience the "aha" moment often comes in different and more surprising, but no less amazing, forms.
Last week a small group of men from the Sunday Breakfast Rescue Mission visited. The Mission is a 100+ year old Christian organization that shelters and serves hundreds of homeless and otherwise disadvantaged Philadelphian men, women, and children each day. The group, led by Mission Education Chaplain Jeffrey Harley, came here for a guided tour in hopes of "[seeing] that there's a close connection between the African-American community and the Jewish community."
I sat down with the group after their guided tour led by docents Steve Capin and Gloria Wuhl. I was curious to learn what piqued the group's interest and what their "aha" moments were. Guest Patrick Johnson volunteered that he "never knew that…[there were] Jewish brothers who marched with Martin Luther King Jr. during our time of persecution," while Dale Simmons reflected that seeing the exhibition was both "exciting" and a reminder that the United States has had and does have its "ugly" sides.
Bernard Sallins was "surprised" to find out that the famous Groucho Marx and the Three Stooges were Jewish. Aha! And Larry LaValley – in the fashion of the great film critics, Siskel and Ebert – called his time at NMAJH, "extremely informative and instructive. I could go on for hours!"
The Museum's rich exhibition paints a complex picture of what it is to become and to be an American, and with it, the hopes, disappointments, challenges, successes, and pushes and pulls inherent. For some of us the "aha" happens when laughing at a Gilda Radner clip on our second floor and recalling how her laugh reminds us of our camp bunkmate's. For others like Patrick it comes at a pensive moment when considering how two groups came together to fight a battle that had to be fought.
Whenever you find your "aha" moment at NMAJH, won't you please let us know? I thank the gentlemen who visited with the Sunday Breakfast Rescue Mission, and all those who have shared their "aha" moments with us.

The city of New York is suing FedEx, saying the company illegally delivered tons of untaxed cigarettes from a distributor based on a Long Island Indian reservation.
The suit was filed Monday at a federal court in Manhattan.
The city is accusing FedEx of knowingly violating the terms of a 2006 agreement with New York's attorney general in which the company promised to stop all deliveries of mail-order cigarettes to state residents.
FedEx later banned cigarette shipments nationwide.
But the city says that even after that deal was signed, FedEx continued to ship cigarettes from select dealers. Those included the Shinnecock Smoke Shop on eastern Long Island.
FedEx says the city's claims are "overstated and not founded in law."
The phone rang unanswered Monday evening at the Shinnecock Smoke Shop.

Meet the Bloggers: Emma Amaya
The latest installment of our Meet the Bloggers series features Emma Amaya, better known as Crzblue. Her blog, Crzblue's Dodger Blue World, has been a part of the MLB.com Blogs family since February 2009. It's a Latest Leaders mainstay, and for good reason. We caught up with Emma at her home away from home — Dodger Stadium — on the final weekend of the regular season to ask her about her blog:
We're continuing to meet up with MLB.com Bloggers at the ballpark during the Postseason for this series. If you're going to be at the ballpark and haven't yet notified us, make sure to leave a comment with your blog URL and the games you'll be attending.
12 Comments
This was a great interview and as a Dodger fan myself I just have to say GO Dodgers 🙂 Just the information that you gave in the interview was new to me. I really enjoyed it
Loved it Emma! You're a great interview!
OMG! Thank you so much Mark and Ben! . I was a little nervous that I was forgetting stuff. LOL.
One of my other favorite post that I forgot to mention is honoring the Brooklyn Dodgers that have passed away during the year and keeping track of them.what they are up to and updating the list of the Brooklyn Dodger players that are alive. These posts are popular along with my post on "Should women remove their hats during the National Anthem and the one about the Baseball Saint.
One thing I love about having an MLB blog that I did not mention is the stats. I love seeing the many countries that visit my blog. Also what people enter (some is funny) in their search engine to reach my blog.
Again thank you so much Mark, Ben and everyone else that helped put this together!
p.s. Enjoying all the post season baseball even without my Bums in the Postseason. Wait till next year!

Interview: RIM Chief Thorsten Heins on Saying No to Android and Other Lessons Learned
In taking over Research In Motion, CEO Thorsten Heins said he got lots of advice, including plenty of people who said that RIM should switch to making Android devices.
"I got a lot of advice to just go Android," Heins said in an interview on Thursday. But, Heins said, there wasn't much of an opportunity to stand out. Samsung, which makes a lot of its own components, had made a good business for itself, but everyone else was having a tough time standing out from one another.
Plus, he said, "It's not going to be respectuful to our BlackBerry users."
Instead, Heins has doubled down on the company's bet to do its own operating system, BlackBerry 10. Heins said the move was not just about reviving its smartphone business, but creating a platform for the next decade of mobile computing.
"I'm really satisfied today we have made that decision," he said.
That said, Heins acknowledged the company got a late start in making the shift. In part, he said that the company was too slow to realize that customers were favoring big screens and apps over its historical strengths in email, security, typing and battery life.
"In hindsight, what I would say is we probably didn't detect that movement quickly enough," he said. "I think we are in touch with reality now."
RIM has an all-important launch coming up Jan. 30 for the first devices running the new operating system. But, Heins said there has been lots more work going on at the company.
Even as the company finalized BlackBerry 10, Heins said he has been working to reshape the Waterloo, Ontario-based company. He noted that the company managed to reshape its executive team, cut 5,000 jobs while still adding subscribers and working on the new operating system.
"We're still in the middle of it," Heins said. "I don't want to pretend to you like we are done."

BUIES CREEK, N.C. (AP) Karvel Anderson hit two last-minute 3-pointers, the second with 4.5 seconds left to give Robert Morris a 61-58 victory over Campbell Tuesday night in nonconference action.
Anderson, one of three players in double figures for the Colonials (5-4), stuck a 3-pointer with 42 seconds left to regain the lead for Robert Morris, 58-56. Marvelle Harris, who led Campbell (3-6) with a career-high 21 points and took 10 rebounds, tied the score at 58-all on a layup with 27 seconds left.
Then Anderson, who finished with 13 points, drilled his game-winner. Trey Freeman's 3-point attempt rimmed out for the Camels at the buzzer.
Foul shooting and 3-point shooting proved critical. Robert Morris was 6 for 23 beyond the arc while Campbell missed all six of its attempts from long range.
At the foul line, the Colonials went 21 for 26, Lucky Jones (15 points) sinking 11. Campbell was 10 for 15.

An Evening with The Monkees - Fall Tour
Michael Nesmith, Micky Dolenz, And Peter Tork To Perform Their First Concerts Together In Fifteen Years
An Evening with The Monkees at the Arlington Theatre on Friday, November 9th.
Michael Nesmith, Micky Dolenz, and Peter Tork return to the concert stage this November for a historic, twelve-date tour of the United States. These performances will mark their first concerts together since 1997.
The trio's shows are set to feature a selection of their classic hits (such as "Last Train To Clarksville," "I'm A Believer" and "Pleasant Valley Sunday"), deep cuts from their first five platinum albums (including some performed for the first time since the 1960's) and fan favorites from the soundtrack to their cult film classic Head and their Emmy®-award winning television series. The show will encompass a full multimedia evening of music, rare films and one-of-a-kind photographs.
Since the dates fall forty-five years from their epic struggle to become legitimate music makers, the concerts will be highlighted by a set performed by just Nesmith, Dolenz and Tork. In 1967, the year the Monkees outsold the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, they issued two #1 albums (Headquarters and Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones, Ltd), which primarily featured the Monkees as a self-contained, musical unit. Each evening's trio set will showcase numbers from these albums and present the Monkees' electric garage band sound that they developed on their mid-1960's tours. To open and close the show, the Monkees will be augmented by a stellar crew of players to play the hand-picked setlist each evening.
These dates comprise the first U.S. Monkees tour to feature Michael Nesmith since 1969. He has reunited with the group over the years; his last stateside concert with the band was a rare private show in support of 1997's Justus album. These dates also follow the unexpected passing of their musical comrade Davy Jones in February. Plans call for Jones to be saluted in the show's multimedia content.
Although Davy's absence will undoubtedly be felt by the Monkees and their fans, these concerts will be an opportunity to share their memories amidst the music and the movies that brought them together. Moreover, the band look forward to performing for their many new fans who have discovered their music through repeats of their TV show on Antenna television, classic rock radio, or via social media. One thing is for certain, these concerts will be a once-in-a-lifetime series of shows that are not to be missed.
Don't miss your chance to attend An Evening with The Monkees at the Arlington Theatrel on Friday, November 9th. Tickets range from $38 to $55, plus applicable service charges. The Arlington Theatre is located at 1317 State Street, Santa Barbara, 805-963-4408.
Tickets available at all Ticketmaster outlets, including the Arlington Theatre & Walmart. To charge by phone please call, 8007453000 or 8059634408. Order online at www.ticketmaster.com

In one year, new cell technology invented by ECN was brought into production in joint effort by the three parties and is now sold by Yingli under the brand name Panda.
Mr. Fokko Pentinga, Chief Executive Officer of Amtech, commented, 'We are honored and proud that we are being recognized for our leading-edge technologies and our ongoing commitment to advancing solar technology. In 2012, we introduced our ion implant system and new tube-type batch PECVD as next cycle solar technologies. Our ion implanter has allowed us to make significant progress in process development. In 2013, we look forward to furthering solar through continued investment in research and development including the continued development of advanced P- and N-type cell technology. Our goal is to continue to develop leading-edge technologies to support our customers' pursuit of higher efficiency solar cells at a lower total cost of ownership.'
Further Dr. Albert Hasper, General Manager of Tempress Systems B.V. commented, 'Although the solar industry is suffering from huge overcapacities leading to the severe downturn in the solar industry, Tempress committed itself to continued investments in R&D and new technologies. This Cleantech award is an extra motivation and incentive for Tempress and its employees.'
Tempress was awarded the Cleantech award by Ab van der Touw, chairman of the jury and CEO of Siemens in the Netherlands.

Wintergrasp is like every other battleground.
- 8/10 players believe the objective is to kill or die. HK's are the reason to play.
- 2/10 players know there are objectives, try for the objectives and get frustrated by the honor farmers.
I found myself explaining the significance of the towers to two people over the weekend. Luckily both were friends, so they listened.
There are guides, but who reads them?
I know there are guides out there, I read a few of them back at the time of release, then promptly forgot everything they tried to inform me.
It's not the fault of the guides, it's more that (in particular with BG guides) I need to experience a zone, instance or fight before the pieces of the puzzle click.
BG's are also so simple on the surface.
- Zone in…
- Follow the masses (they must know what to do!)…
- Kill things
- Rez
- Kill more things
- Pray for a win
There are so many toys!
WG is further complicated by the lure of machinery. The Goblins built tool sheds, they will let us take the tools, screw objectives, I've got a tank!
So what is the objective?
The prime objective depends which side you are on. It's still the same physical objective, but one wants to reach it, the other wants to stop this happening.
You may not have noticed the big orb in the keep… Just in front of the entrance to VoA, next to the portal to Dalaran and the summoning stone.
You may not have noticed because it's so big. It probably just fills your screen and becomes another piece of Blizzard artwork to ignore.
That is the objective!
- As defenders you don't want the enemy breaking down the doors to touch it.
- As attackers, that Orb is more important than nearly anything.
The tools of victory.
Once you have scored 5 honor kills you reach the rank of Corporal. This entitles you to visit a workshop and get the plague spewing catapults.
These are primarily for use against other players, but can be used against walls and towers. They aren't particularly effective, but they are better than trying to scrape the mortar from the walls with your dagger.
Once you get 20 HK's you can use the bigger, more effective siege weapons.
Attackers use these to break down the keep walls, defenders use them to do laps of Wintergrasp.
But that's not what they are for!
When you are attacking, it's easy to see where to point your siege weapons. There's a big keep with big walls, point your siege weapons at that and bring the walls down.
As defense it may not be so obvious, but trust me, there is a use for these machines of war, which I will get to in just a minute.
Make the Workshops work for you!
There are also 6 workshops scattered around the map, two of these within the keep.
Control of these provides 3 benefits.
- You can build machines (just to state the blatantly obvious)
- They determine the maximum number of machines each side can have. Every one you hold entitles you to 4 machines.
- Controlling the workshop controls it's related graveyard.
Workshops can win games
They can definitely have a major effect on a game. If the defense has all the workshops, then that's 24 machines for them and 0 for the attackers.
Remember it's hard to break walls down with a dagger.
However it takes a fair bit of effort to take and keep all the workshops, so you are more likely to slow, but not stop the enemies advance.
I don't know how many games have been lost once all the workshops have been taken by the defenders and they go on a midfield rampage forgetting the 1/2 dozen enemy in the courtyard.
Forget the Front lines!
OK, don't forget the front lines, you need people manning the walls, repelling the enemy, giving your commando units time to win the game for you.
They have commando units now?
Yep, accepting anyone that knows that there are better ways to win a game than trading scorches outside the front gate.
They need to go deep behind the enemy lines, to the bottom of the map.
Their objective is two fold.
- Take the workshops
- Destroy the towers.
Some workshops are better to lose than others.
One mistake a defending team makes is pushing to take the closest workshops to the keep.
This isn't bad per se, but will just extent the battle and make it harder for the commandos at the back line.
Just as in AV, where there are certain GY's you want the enemy to hold because it means they will spawn where YOU want them, it's the same in WG with the towers.
Where do you want the attackers to spawn?
Near your strongest defense, which is the keep. You have big walls, big guns, siege weapons and lots of spellcasting, whirlwinding and healing bodies.
As importantly, you want them to spawn away from you commandos.
It's human nature when you Rez in WG, you run to either:
- The battlefront – preferably where there are lots of allied bodies, or
- A controlled workshop.
If the controlled workshops are near the allied bodies, people will charge there without thought.
While they are looking in the wrong direction…
So now you have all the attackers at the front line, your commandos can get to work.
Get the workshops.
Killing the guards will raise your rank, as will any attackers hanging around the back line.
The more of you there:
- The easier it is to repel the enemy
- The quicker you will take the Workshop and it's graveyard.
Remember these workshops are taken by the number of warm bodies.
- One warm friendly body = slow capture
- One warm friendly body + one warm enemy body = standoff.
- One warm enemy body = slow loss.
The more warm friendly bodies you have, the quicker you can capture the workshop.
Get some kills at the Towers.
The place I usually start is in the enemy towers (or one of the back workshops). The guns count as HKs as well, so I take them out in relative safety, as well as the guards when they spawn, then head to the nearest backline workshop to get some more HKs, take control of the Workshop and build me a machine of destruction.
Destroy the towers and win the game.
All being well there are some other objective-savvy players around too, otherwise do your best to take down the towers (if you are defenders) or hold the towers (if you are offense).
The towers buy time.
The towers represent time.
- If the attackers control them, they can take their time and use their daggers on the walls if need be.
- If the defenders control them (destroy them) time will evaporate for the attackers.
As defenders you must take all 3 towed down ASAP! Doing so drops the timer down to a few minutes.
For even a strong attack this means they will score the achievement if they can do this. Most attacks are that strong.
I have been in winning sides where even after the enemy has entered the courtyard we have won because we got that 3rd tower down.
I have been on losing sides where the attackers don't have any workshops, but they controlled the towers.
WTF losses.
The majority of WG WTF losses (the ones where you appear to be in control, but still lose) are due to the towers still being up.
As the battle wears on, people start leaving the keep chasing HKs, while the enemy sneak in to win the game.
Get the Towers!
Heal FFS!
(Sorry Tam, it frustrates me that much)
Mr. Tree made an observation to me the other day, something I noticed as soon as I stopped running WG on Squidly and started on Gnome.
Heals matter!
If you have a healer or two out side the front gates when you are attacking, you probably haven't died.
No heals = quick and humiliating deaths = no HKs = no use of siege engines.
So please, if you can heal. HEAL!
At least until we get the siege engines rolling.
Gnomer and Out, Squidly and Stout!

Splitting Brandon Wood, Revisited
Brandon Wood homered Saturday against Yankees' left-hander Andy Pettitte.
Back on June 15 I wrote a blog looking at Brandon Wood's 2009 offensive numbers in the PCL's five super hitter-friendly parks versus the rest of the league.
Brandon was promoted to the Angels July 10, and homered in the nationally televised game July 11 against the Yankees, so I thought it might be a good time to update his splits.
To restate the methodology … The Pacific Coast League has five super hitter-friendly ballparks — Salt Lake, Albuquerque, Colorado Springs, Las Vegas and Reno. These parks distort offensive numbers for PCL hitters, especially if the hitter's home field is one of those five. When I write the annual FutureAngels.com Top 10 Prospects report, I use this unique split analysis to give a more accurate picture of Salt Lake players.
When I did the splits for Wood on June 15, the results were:
Hitter-Friendly: .338/.415/.669 (147 TPA)
Other: .178/.255/.400 (51 TPA)
The updated results:
Hitter-Friendly: .344/.398/.651 (216 TPA)
Other: .234/.286/.442 (84 TPA)
Better in the neutral/pitcher-friendly parks, but still not reassuring.
The Bees have some road trips the next two months that take them to those "other" parks. I was looking forward to those because they would give us a larger statistical sample. But hopefully Woody hits well with the Angels and never returns to Salt Lake.
It should also be noted that Brandon started Sunday's game at first base. He had five starts at first base scattered over the last two months at Salt Lake. Los Angeles Times sports blogger Steve Bisheff breathlessly made a big deal out of this on June 9, but as I pointed out it's not unusual for Triple-A players to get some experience at other positions to enhance their résumés in case they need to play another position in the majors.
That's what happened on Sunday. The Angels were facing C.C. Sabathia, one of the most dominant left-handed pitchers in the majors, and Kendry Morales has had problems hitting lefties this year. So Mike Scioscia gave Kendry the day off and let Wood bat against Sabathia. But Kendry started Saturday against Andy Pettitte, a future Hall of Famer southpaw, so I wouldn't count on Wood permanently replacing Morales any time soon.

Witness to Extinction: How We Failed to Save the Yangtze River Dolphin
by Bhavani Prakash
Allowing a beautiful large mammal that has evolved over millions of years to disappear forever, is a monumental failure of human civilisation. Yet the extinction of the baiji dolphin of the Yangtze river is no longer on people's radar screens. Why do we need to keep the story alive? How do we ensure the same fate doesn't befall the other river dolphins of the Amazon, the Ganges and the Indus? What failures of conservation can we simply not allow to happen?
Though it has been a couple of years since the baiji dolphin of the Yangtze river in China has been declared "most likely" extinct – it was in 2007 when the announcement was made – why is it important for us not to let this unfortunate and unforgivable event fade out of human memory and consciousness?
Samuel Turvey , the conservation biologist who currently works for the Zoological Society of London, was deeply involved in the final stages of the project to save the baiji dolphin. His book, "Witness to Extinction: How we failed to save the Yangtze River Dolphin" takes a poignant and angry look at the series of lost chances that led a beautiful cetacean, one that has evolved over 20 million years to vanish forever from the face of this world in the blink of a planetary eye.
What is the baiji?
The baiji (Lipotes vexillifer) is a native of the longest river in Asia, the Yangtze which stretches over 6,300km from the Tibetan plateau to the East China Sea. The river boasts of rich biological diversity and endemic species such as the baiji. The baiji is one of 4 river dolphin species of the world, the others being the Amazon dolphin, the Ganges and Indus dolphin, and the La Plata dolphin (which live off the coasts of Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina in South America)
The baiji as a river dolphin is different in structure and appearance, to marine dolphins which look more streamlined. River dolphins have long thin beaks (about 30 cms and 4 times longer than marine dolphins), hump like dorsal fins and flexible necks. Their vision is poorly developed due to the muddy waters, which is compensated for by a heightened sonar sense – hence they move around and catch fish by echolocation. They often swim on their sides and feel the river bottom with flippers.
Why did the baiji disappear?
The oft assumed reason for the disappearance of the baiji is the construction of the Three Gorges Dam, the largest hydro-electric power station in the world displacing over a million people along its 600 km long reservoir.
2000 years of relentless hunting had reduced the species to a rather precarious position in the 21st century. Though considered sacred in folklore, the baiji in reality was accorded no such status – being overfished for fat to produce oil for lamps, meat and traditional remedies for ailments.
Massive overpopulation along the Yangtze meant that everything was being removed from the river like a sieve. As early as the 1920s, Clifford Pope observed of Dongting (along the Yangtze)
"there are thousands of fishermen actually straining creatures of all sizes from the rapidly vanishing lake, and it seemed that the dolphin must soon fall victim to one of their innumerable methods of separating the water from everything in it but the mud."
Pg 30 Witness to Extinction: How we failed to save the Yangtze River Dolphin
Mao Zedong's "Great Leap Forward" in the 1950s transformed China's agrarian economy into an industrial juggernaut overnight with devastating consequences for the natural environment – which according to Mao had to be "tamed into submission" by the plunder of forests for charcoal, and the construction of "large' hydroelectrical projects to conquer rivers.
The massive scale of the Three Gorges project, the industrial activity and accompanying pollution of the Yangtze proved to be the last straw. Many riverine creatures on the Yangtze were killed during construction. It also prevented fish from moving into spawning gounds.
In 1988 there were about 200 baiji, a guesstimate at best given the various inconsistencies and challenges in the methods used to survey baijis over the 60s and 70s. The Three Gorges Dam increased the the quantum of ship traffic manifold. When Douglas Adams who wrote "Last Chance to See" lowered the microphone into the Yangtze he observed:
" The sound we heard wasn't exactly what I expected. Water is a very good medium for the propogation of sound and I had expected to hear clearly the heavy, pounding reverberations of each of the boats that had gone thundering by us as we stood on the deck. But water transmits sound even better than that, and what we were hearing was everything that was happening in the Yangtze for many, many miles around, jumbled cacophony together. Instead of hearing the roar of each individual ship's propeller, what we heard was a sustained shrieking blast of pure white noise, in which nothing could be distinguished at all."
Pg 34 Witness to Extinction: How we failed to save the Yangtze River Dolphin
For a near blind creature such as the baiji that relies heavily on the sense of sound for prey and survival, this pure white noise would be deadly indeed. Coming up to the surface, the baiji would often get disembowelled on propellers of boats. A third of the baiji found dead in the 1980s may have been killed this way.
Conservation efforts for the Baiji?
Recovery chances for endangered species though faint are by no means impossible. Stellar examples that go down in conservation history are the recovery through intense efforts – of the Mauritius Kestrel, the Chatham Island black robin, the kakapo – the world's largest parrot in New Zealand.
When it came to the baiji, the level of determination required to save a highly endangered species was found to be really wanting. The Chinese government was in favour of ex-situ or off site conservation (by capturing the baiji and letting them breed in a reserve), while most Western conservationists felt the long term chances of survival would be better only if the natural habitat of the baiji, namely the condition of the Yangtze river was improved – something that wasn't going to happen any time soon.
Turvey dwells upon the lip service and "slow pace of decision making" by both the Chinese Government and western conservationists which only tantamounted to shocking apathy. As Turvey indignantly points out, " Just because you don't feel that maintaining a viable population in a large protected oxbow (lake) is the ideal conservation solution, can you really then walk away and condemn the species to extinction, knowing that there's no other option?
And yet, it would seem that the world did walk away. The reluctance to save the dolphin was evident in the sheer challenge of raising funds for the survey of the Yangtze river (the last one was done in the nineties showing rapid decrease in baiji numbers to about 13 animals), let alone funds for baiji conservation.
If Samuel Turvey and colleague Leigh Barrett hadn't taken it upon themselves, giving it all their time and effort, literally scraping donors' doors with begging bowls, even the survey would not have come through. The survey was the last chance for the baiji to study baiji numbers and initiate action to move any spotted dolphins to a reserve – the Tian-e-Zhou lake, the ox-bow lake 21km long.
The irony was that a million or so dollars required for baiji conservation wasn't huge in the conservation world, considering tons of money were being poured into projects for less endangered species. US $190 million has been spent, for example on the research programme for the Stellar sea lion, which despite a serious decline in numbers off western Alaska, still has healthy populations along Alaska's southeast coast.
The following video mentions the last surviving baiji dolphin, Qi-Qi (pronounced chee- chee) at Wuhan dolphinarium. Qi-Qi was studied by The Baiji Research Group which was headed by Wang Ding. Qi-Qi died at the age of 24 or 25 years (equivalent to a 70 year man) in 2002 after 22 years in captivity of old age and diabetes and had a funeral broadcast on national television.
Surveying the Yangtze river
When things eventually fell into place, Turvey's team set off in two boats at the end of October 2006 for a six week journey upstream from Wuhan till Honghu and Yichang and back downstream to cover the range of the baiji.
The picture that Turvey paints of the Yangtze river is gloomy, to say the least. The haze of pollution from belching smokestacks and the economic activity supporting the mass of population along the banks – factories, oil refineries and chemical plants, along with the millions of tons raw sewage plants and industrial effluents that found its way into the river had taken a huge toll. The Yangtze had also become a motorway for thousands of freighters to enable this relentless economic engine to chug along. It was also quite evident that there was no enforcement of illegal fishing practices such as the use of rolling hook lines.
The reader is left to wonder, who's bearing the real cost of China becoming the world's factory? And of consumerism within China itself which has been quick to explode in the pursuit of relentless growth?
Declaring extinction
As the lead author of the report following the Yangtze survey, Turvey announced that it was a "shocking tragedy" that not a single baiji was spotted during the dreary 45 day trip. He describes how he had to juggle over semantics choosing to say the species is now "most likely" to be extinct, over what the Chinese felt was too strong in saying it was "probably" extinct.
But did it mean the baiji was really extinct? As quoted by the BBC "While it is conceivable that a couple of surviving individuals were missed by the survey teams, our inability to detect any baiji despite this intensive search effort indicates that the prospect of finding and translocating them to a [reserve] has all but vanished."
As it so happened a baiji was spotted in 2007 but the likelihood of successful capture and breeding would really be next to impossible.
Collective memory of species extinction
In 2008, Turvey returned to interview the fishing communities along the Yangtze. To his surprise and consternation, "younger fishermen from the same communities had not only never seen baiji or paddlefish, but had never even heard of them." His study called, "Rapidly Shifting Baselines in Yangtze Fishing Communities and Local Memory of Extinct Species" in Conservation Biology showed that extinct animals are surprisingly forgotten quickly.
It would seem that this loss of local cultural memory has spilled over to mainstream media as well, where the baiji is hardly ever mentioned anymore. We can't let this collective memory loss happen, if we have to keep our hopes of saving the thousands of species at the brink of never coming back.
The fate of the river dolphins is symptomatic of the freshwater crisis facing the Asian river systems – which are collapsing due to climate change, population pressures and industrial development. The larger issue of how we protect and restore the river waters of Asia will hold the key to the fate of many endangered species.
If you're looking for a message of hope in the book – there isn't one. "Someday it will all be over," are Turvey's final words. And they come as a shock.
Protecting a unique, endangered species is the moral responsibility of the world. If at all there is something that Turvey teaches us, it is this: the effort and energy shown by a few individuals like him can make a difference, if done in good time. It was too late for the baiji, but maybe, just maybe, there is a tiny window of opportunity for the other river dolphins of the world.

Logging in is not required for viewing pages, and not even for editing them. However, it provides additional features, and in general, it's recommended.
Logging in
Creating a user account means that you supply a username (your real name or a nickname) and a password. The system will reject a username that is already in use. A user account is created only once. You are then "logged in". Next time you log in you supply your username again and demonstrate with the password that you are the same person.
Edits you make are recorded under your username. If you are not logged in, your edits are recorded under your IP address.
Why log in?
You don't have to log in to read a Law & Order Wiki article. You don't even have to log in to edit the Law & Order Wiki – anyone can edit almost any page, even without logging in.
However, it's still a good idea to log in, for these reasons:
- Other users will be able to recognize you by your username when you make changes to pages. As a "name", an IP address is somewhat clumsy. Also, if you use computers at different locations (home, office, internet cafe, etc.) you have a different IP address in each case; even in the same location, depending on the Internet connection, the IP address may be different each time. Therefore a username is better to maintain an identity.
- You will have your own user page where you can write a bit about yourself, and a user talk page which you can use to communicate with other users.
- You will be able to mark an edit as minor, which avoids inconvenience for other users.
- You will be able to keep track of changes to pages you are interested in using a watch list.
- If you choose to give an e-mail address, other users will be able to contact you by e-mail. This feature is anonymous – the user who e-mails you will not know your e-mail address. You don't have to give your e-mail address if you don't want to.
- You will be able to rename pages.
- You will be able to set your own preferences, to change things such as:
- The number of pages displayed in Recent changes
- The fonts, colors and layout of the site, by using different skins.
How to log in
First, make sure that your browser accepts cookies. Some browsers can accept or reject cookies from individual sites; users of these should configure the browser to accept cookies from lawandorder.wikia.com.
Click on the log in link at the top right of the page. You will then be prompted to enter your username and password. If you haven't logged in before, you will need to enter your password twice.
You may give your e-mail address if you like. Other users will be able to send e-mail to the address, but they won't be able to find out what the address is.
If you click the box Remember me, you will not have to give your password again when you access Memory Alpha from the same computer.
Log in problems
If you appear to be able to log in, but as soon as you try to look at a page after the 'Log in successful' page you appear logged out again, it is very likely to be a cookie problem. If you are certain that cookies are enabled, make sure that you haven't inadvertently listed http://lawandorder.wikia.com on a list of sites to never allow cookies for (this feature is available in – at least – Mozilla Firebird (Firefox) 0.6 and above and Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6 and above). Also, make sure your computer's date and time are set correctly; if they are not, cookies may expire before they are supposed to. Note that some firewall and ad-blocking software may interfere with the cookie that Memory Alpha uses to keep a person logged in.
A user may occasionally find him/herself "automatically " logged out in between beginning an edit and saving it, or when switching between multiple Law & Order Wiki pages open in multiple windows. This can be a result of your browser's cookie, cache, or firewall settings, but due to the nature of the MediaWiki software, some user ID information is stored in the servers; sometimes, especially during heavy server load, the system can "glitch" and your ID information will be misplaced, resulting in a logout. Regardless of the reason for the logout, the simplest solution to the problem is to check the Remember me box. If you do this on a computer that can be accessed by more than one person (i.e. at the library, at work, at school), please find and erase your user ID cookies after your editing session.
If you log in and enabled the cookie feature, a subsequent log in as a different user without the cookie feature enabled will appear as logged out.
What if I forget the password?
If you enter an e-mail address when signing up for the account, or in your preferences, you can request on the login screen for a temporary password to be sent to that address, which will allow you to retrieve your account. If you did not enter an e-mail address, or the address was out of date, you will have to create a new account.
How to set preferences
Click on the preferences link at the top right of the page for various options, including:
- Changing your password.
- Changing the skin, which changes the way that the web pages look.
See Help: Preferences for more information.
Your User page and User talk page
As a logged-in user, you will be able to create your own user page and user talk page. When you are logged in, you will see your username displayed at the top right of the page. Click on this to get to your user page, which you can edit in the same way as any other Law & Order Wiki page.
Most users write a little bit about themselves and their interests on their user page.
You also have a user talk page. You can access this by clicking on the my talk link next to your username at the top right of the page. Other people may write messages in your user talk page by editing it, and you can respond. See Help: Talk page for more information.
