Remember that interesting BlackBerry watch that I told you about last week? Details were a bit sparse, but Allerta, the gadget's creator, has finally released some of the more important details. The watch features a 1.3-inch full color OLED display, Bluetooth 2.0, glass lens, vibrating motor (for alerts) and a microUSB port for recharging. Firmware updates will actually be done over-the-air. Battery life is expected to be around four days.
As for which phones will work, it seems that any running BlackBerryOS 4.3 or higher will be able to install the necessary application. The device will ship in February 2010 and can be pre-ordered now for $149.

Afghanistan - Fake Sheikh Fiasco (New Instalment)
It was revealed this week that the fake Taliban leader – understood to be a shopkeeper from the Pakistani city of Quetta – was masquerading as Mullah Akhtar Muhammad Mansour, the second highest-ranking official in the Taliban. He attended three meetings in Kabul.
The New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd reported today that people familiar with the con – as she described it – said "the British spent a year developing the fake Taliban leader as a source".

Sky Events And The Ancient Ones
On this Sunday when most of this country attends some type of religious service we'll go where none of them has ever been. The picture below is the courtesy of Coyote Prime and the photo from here.
This will be short and since no one really knows this opinion has as much merit as any one else out there.
Take a look at the top picture and then the two directly below. In the two rock art photos whoever it was that made similar looking spirals witnessed a sky event like seen in the top picture.
This event was very close or so huge that it was easily seen by the naked eye or something along those lines.
I think the last picture is perhaps the most dramatic.
Remember how clicking on the pictures twice makes them larger.

My idol (the all-seeing driftglass) has delivered the ultimate panegyric (or would that be eulogy?) for the Sunday Morning Mouse Circus and its adoring audience.
No one does it better, and as an addition to my promoting of the exposure of the true nature and goals of Glenn BecKKK by Rachel Maddow, it couldn't be more fitting for my readers.
According to the collective wisdom of the Wise Men of the Mouse Circus, it turns out, Barack Obama will have to -- just have to! -- move to The Center, both substantively and symbolically, if he wants to get re-elected.
Shocking, I know.
He'll have to -- just have to! -- lower the top marginal tax rates.
He'll have to -- just have to! -- lower corporate taxes.
Then: Moar! Palin!
Because she's so Sincere!
Sure, she's also a vicious and utterly unqualified grifter, but she's so Real!
And we point cameras at her obsessively because you can never spend too much of America's mainstream political bandwidth huffing stupid straight from the bag.
Enjoy the memories!

William Butler Yeats, "The Second Coming"
"Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?"

YANGON, Myanmar (AP) - Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi and lawmakers from ethnic minority parties are calling on the government to deploy more troops to restore peace and stability in a western state hit by recent deadly violence between Buddhists and Muslims.
They issued a statement Wednesday urging the government to explain its policies on handling the ethnic conflict in Rakhine state, where officials say about 90 people were killed last month and more than 30,000 made homeless.
They stressed that the concerns of both groups - Rakhine Buddhists and Rohingya Muslims - should be addressed.
In earlier violence in June, about the same number of people were killed and 75,000 were made homeless.
Suu Kyi has emphasized the necessity of restoring the rule of law and dealing with the root causes of the tensions.
Many of her foreign supporters have been disappointed that she has not taken a stand condemning discrimination toward the Rohingya, who have suffered most of the casualties and losses in the latest violence.
The statement also said the government should be clear about how it intends to apply a 1982 law that deals with the rules for citizenship for those who consider themselves Rohingya. Most of the U.N.-estimated 800,000 Rohingya in Myanmar are stateless.
The statement did not mention neighboring Bangladesh by name, but suggested that it contributed to the problem. Many in Myanmar regard the Rohingya as being mostly illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, though the number in that category is hotly debated.
'Both governments that share common boundaries should respect and take responsibility for border security and immigration matters,' it said. 'It is imperative that both countries systematically prevent border crossings and ensure border security.'
Bangladesh also refuses to consider the Rohingya its citizens, and blocks those trying to enter from Myanmar, though it houses many in refugee camps.

ACA recently attended a meeting of professionals from a broad range of organizations and service providers to address the gap that currently exists in nationally-recognized training for staff who supervise groups in remote aquatic environments. Camps and adventure programs have had to rely on their own training to supplement the currently available pool-based lifeguard training to equip staff who lead backpacking, canoe, and kayak trips where participants are likely to swim.
After several days of meeting, the group (identified on page 8) adopted the following position statement and pledged to continue meeting to work out details on areas such as documented leadership, physical condition of participants in group activities in remote environment, equipment guidelines, training guidelines, and site-specific concerns.
Feedback from camp personnel who administer or lead trips into remote areas is requested.
For the purposes of this meeting, the following definition was developed. A remote aquatic environment is any aquatic environment that is not a designated, appropriately-lifeguarded swimming area or waterfront facility where the risk of drowning, near drowning, injury or other loss is possible. Attributes of remote aquatic environments include, but are not limited to, environments where rescue equipment is not available or must be improvised.
Position Statement
Outdoor leaders, and people in their care, are often exposed to remote aquatic environments that present unique hazards and perils. Fatalities and injuries occur as a result.
There is a lack of broadly accepted guidelines for prevention of and response to drowning, near drowning, and other injuries in remote aquatic environments. The development of guidelines could be expected to enhance the outdoor experience, to raise awareness of the risks, and to reduce the incidence of injury and death.
The guidelines should include appropriate practices and training recommendations that balance safety, practicality, and effective use of resources. They should address a wide range of groups, environments, and activities.
These guidelines should be developed through a process that involves input from recognized aquatic safety organizations, industry associations, and organizations leading trips in remote environments. The process should invite feedback and seek consensus.
The purpose of developing these guidelines is to assist organizations in improving their training and practices regarding water safety in remote environments.
Signed April 24, 2001, Cambridge, MA
Safety Training for Remote Aquatic Environments Committee
Input Needed
The meeting at Harvard, attended by ACA staff members Pat Hammond (Standards) and Cathy Scheder (Professional Development), was the beginning of a collaborative process to gather input and develop guidelines to help fill the gap. We ask camps who do wilderness tripping to provide input/feedback to ensure guidelines that are reasonable and that address our concerns for participant safety on trips.
Eventually, broad guidelines will be established in areas such as:
- Minimum requirements for number of rescue-trained leaders
- Pre-requisites for trip leaders
- Required in-service training
- Functional capabilities of leaders
- Medical screening
- Entry skills required
- Informed consent from parents of minors
- Skills assessment
- What equipment is required under what circumstances
- Improvising equipment
Training Guidelines
- Environmental assessment skills
- Prevention skills
- Rescue skills
- Search and recovery
The position statement and a more-complete-but-still-in-development-list of guidelines is posted on ACA's Web site at www.ACAcamps.org/knowledge/program/aquatics.htm. Camp directors and staff can send comments to either Pat or Cathy at ACA: firstname.lastname@example.com, or phone extension 316; firstname.lastname@example.com, or phone extension 320.
We are interested in gathering data on:
- The types of aquatic situations and hazards that camp trips are likely to encounter.
- The kinds of rescue equipment people would be readily able to carry with them (such as a throw bag).
- The kinds of equipment people carry with them for other purposes that they could improvise to use for rescue purposes in an emergency (e.g., ensolite pad on a rope).
We are also interested in any training resources camps feel are effective in this area.
Feedback can also be provided directly to the committee through Preston Cline's Web site at http://www.adventureincorporated.com/page12.html. We look forward to hearing from you!

Here's hoping you never experience the sinking feeling you get when you realize your smartphone is missing.
And that sense of dread gets even worse when someone asks if you installed a phone-finding app on your device . . . and you have to confess that you did not.
However, if you've got an Android-based phone, there's still hope, thanks to an app called Plan B from Lookout, a mobile software security developer. Plan B takes advantage of Android's ability to remotely install an application onto the phone by way of the Android Market's website.
When you discover your phone has gone missing, go to Plan B's page in the Market.
Click the blue Install button and you'll be prompted to choose an Android device (if you've registered more than one).
If your phone is turned on and talking to the Net, the application will be installed remotely. This may take a few minutes, but when it's done, it will show up on one of the device's home screens.
After about 10 minutes, the phone will send a notice to your Gmail account with its location, and will do that up to five times. You can restart it by texting the word "locate" to your phone.
Once you've recovered your phone, you can uninstall it, and then choose one of the other five Android phone-finders in this excellent round-up to protect you in the future.

What might dolphins be saying with all those clicks and squeaks? Each other's names, suggests a new study of the so-called signature whistles that dolphins use to identify themselves.
Whether the vocalizations should truly be considered names, and whether dolphins call to compatriots in a human-like manner, is contested among scientists, but the results reinforce the possibility. After all, to borrow the argot of animal behavior studies, people often greet friends by copying their individually distinctive vocal signatures.
"They use these when they want to reunite with a specific individual," said biologist Stephanie King of Scotland's University of St. Andrews. "It's a friendly, affiliative sign."
In their new study, published Feb. 19 in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, King and fellow St. Andrews biologist Vincent Janik investigate a phenomenon they first described in 2006: bottlenose dolphins recognizing the signature whistles of other dolphins they know.
Signature whistles are taught to dolphins by their mothers, and the results were soon popularized as evidence of dolphin names. Many questions remained, though, about the whistles' function, and in particular about the tendency of dolphins to copy each others' signatures.Were they simply challenging each other, like birds matching each other's songs in displays of territorial aggression? Or using the copied signals deceptively, perhaps allowing males to court females guarded by other males? Or was a more information-rich exchange occurring, a back-and-forth between animals who knew each other and were engaging in something like a dialog?
To investigate these possibilities, King and Janik's team analyzed recordings made over several decades by the Sarasota Dolphin Research Program, a Florida-based monitoring project in which pairs of dolphins are captured and held in separate nets for a few hours as researchers photograph and study them.
During the captures, the dolphins can't see each other, but can hear each other and continue to communicate. In their analysis, King and Janik showed that some of the communications are copies of captured compatriots' signature whistles — and, crucially, that the dolphins most likely to make these were mothers and calves or closely allied males.
They seemed to be using the whistles to keep in touch with the dolphins they knew best, just as two friends might if suddenly and unexpectedly separated while walking down a street. Moreover, copying wasn't exact, but involved modulations at the beginning and end of each call, perhaps allowing dolphins to communicate additional information, such as the copier's own identity.
That possibility hints at what linguists call referential communication with learned signals, or the use of learned rather than instinctively understood sounds to mentally represent other objects and individuals. As of now, only humans are known to do this naturally.
"We learn language and refer to objects. This has been shown with captive dolphins and captive gray parrots, but hasn't been seen in the natural communication system of any species," said King. "We're not saying that this is what they're doing, but we're definitely suggesting that we should look into it."
Robert Barton, a cognitive scientist at England's Durham University who has previously chafed at the notion that dolphin vocal signatures could be considered names, cautioned against reading too much into their communications. He noted that dolphins captured in the Sarasota project do copy each other's signatures, but only infrequently.
King and Janik see this as supporting an identity-rich meaning for the copied whistles, which seem to be used specifically in communication with select individuals. From Barton's perspective, other interpretations are equally possible, including a very limited importance for copying.
"Many things are possible," said Barton of the proposition that dolphins communicate referentially, "but there is little evidence for it," at least not from experiments that rigorously exclude alternative interpretations.
To biologist Shane Gero of Dalhousie University, who studies communication between sperm whales with seemingly name-like calls, debates over the nature of dolphin vocalizations reflect historical tensions in the study of animal behaviors.
A century ago, human-like traits were excessively attributed to animals. During the 20th century, the scientific pendulum swung back, to the point where animals were assumed unintelligent unless their abilities could be experimentally demonstrated in controlled settings.
For most animals, including dolphins, that's logistically difficult, and animal intelligence may be deeply underappreciated as a consequence. Just because we don't officially recognize complex thought in whales and dolphins doesn't mean it's not there; given their rich social lives and demonstrated cognitive capacities, names certainly aren't implausible.
"It all comes back to how these calls are perceived," Gero said. "It's tough to get at meaning. Do dolphins doing the copying and dolphins being copied share a meaning?"
"We still need to show that experimentally," King said, "but that's why it's quite exciting."

One lesson from 2008 is clear: you are a lot better off if you know how to use options than if you don't. One of the best ways to start leaning about options is to check out the various services offered by the option exchanges. Even experienced option investors should review the ever expanding list of training and information services offered by these organizations.
The Options Industry Council (OIC) is a non-profit association of the exchanges and the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC). The goal of the OIC is to educate investors and brokers about listed options. To this end, they never cease to improve and expand the training and services they offer. If you have not visited their site in the past several years, we urge you to do so now.
Among the more recent offerings at this site are a full array of webcasts and podcasts, delivered by OIC training professionals. The podcasts run the gamut from the most basic to such advanced issues as selling calls against LEAPS and the dynamic use of options as a portfolio hedge.
Registering at OIC Select (all it takes in your email and answering a few basic questions), gives you access to the OIC's Virtual Trading. At this site, you can create paper trades and track them in 20-minute delayed time. (Virtual Trading uses the platform created by one of the better know online brokerage companies. In Figure 2 below, we show an example from Virtual Trading. Here we have selected the March $55 strike covered call on Transocean (RIG) with the stock at $49.95 and the call at $3.10. You can also practice your trades on individual calls and puts and on spreads and straddles.
Another new feature at the OIC site if you register is the series of interactive option quizzes. These quizzes are fun to take. Advanced topics include option pricing and order placing.
The Chicago Board of Options Exchange (CBOE) is the world's largest options Exchange. The CBOE provides a wealth of content at its well-formatted website. Here is a brief description of some of its more interesting offerings.
Starting at the homepage, click on Learning Center, then on Options Institute and finally on Online Tutorials. Here you will find an excellent web-based introduction to options. To go beyond basics, click on Advanced Strategies for such topics as selling puts, vertical spreads and how and when to use ratio spreads. There are multiple choice quizzes at the end of each session to test what you have learned.
If you click on Trading Tools, you will find a number of useful items. One is CBOE-TV. Here you get a five-minute, twice-daily, update from the CBOE trading floor, hosted by former market marker and well-known options expert, Jon (Dr. J.) Najarian.
individual options (just enter the option ticker) or the full option chain (all options) on any U.S. stock with listed options (just enter the stock ticker). After displaying the option chain, you can click on an individual option and view option details, including the "greeks" and bid/ask average implied volatility.
If you are considering upgrading to real time data, you want to take a look at the Streaming Real Time Quotes under the Quotes tab at the CBOE home page. You can get a 14-day no-risk trial of these quotes. After that, the charge is around $20 per month plus Exchange fees.
Eight years ago, the International Securities Exchange (ISE) was the new kid on the block, introducing electronic only trading on the 600 most active stocks. Today, the ISE lists options on more than 2,000 stocks and leads all the other Exchanges in equity options volume (although, because of index trading, the CBOE leads in total options volume).
The ISE offers its own online educational "Webinars" and posts an archive of past sessions, which can be played back using Windows Media Player (or viewed in Microsoft PowerPoint.) Additionally, as part of its educational services, the ISE offers seminars to qualified user groups by its options instructors. You can email them at email@example.com for information on this service.
Another offering at the ISE site is its market data, including the ISE Sentiment Index (ISEE.). This index shows the ratio of new customer (as opposed to market maker) call option volume to put option volume. While the index may jump around a lot on a day-today basis, its moving averages can show some very telling patterns. Looking at the 10- day moving average of all equities (in Figure 4 below), one can see that the ratio of call volume to put volume had been falling back in the four weeks up to January 23rd, indicating an increasing bearish sentiment in the market. Often this increase in bearish sentiment is a "buy" signal, since it indicates the approach of a market bottom.
Before you go out and spend big bucks on option training, you should check out the excellent free services offered by the exchanges. In next week's report, we will show some of the free (or nearly free) services offered at some commercial websites.

In four talks I plan to cover some basic, both classical as well as recent, concepts of proof complexity. An approximate outline is:
(1) Cook-Reckhow definition, lengths of proofs, link to the NP versus coNP problem. Polynomial simulation, optimal proof systems. An overview of known lower bounds.
(2) Theories being "uniform" proof systems. Translations of arithmetical proofs into propositional proofs. Interpretation of lower bounds as constructions of models of bounded arithmetic theories.
(3) Proof complexity of (propositional) resolution. The size-width tradeoff, feasible interpolation, infinitary characterizations of hard tautologies.
(4) Hard tautologies: combinatorial principles, consistency statements, proof complexity generators.

Fidel's, Australia
Enter Fidel's and you go back to the 1997 days of cigar disco in the United States. You wouldn't have been surprised to walk into a cigar bar with this type of décor in New York during the heady days of the cigar boom, though you probably wouldn't have found a club named Fidel's in the continental 48. Of course, you certainly wouldn't have found a selection of some of Cuba's best-known cigar brands.
The cigar selection, especially for Americans, is the big draw at Fidel's. If you're spending a week or more in what is arguably Australia's culture capital, you might have the opportunity to sample the list in alphabetical order.
Start with Bolivar, either the Belicoso Fino or the robusto-sized Royal Corona. Move to many different Cohibas, then El Rey del Mundo Choix Supreme, Fonseca, H. Upmann -- either the No. 2 or the all-night sucker, the Sir Winston -- Hoyo de Monterrey and so on down to Vegas Robaina. The prices are not kind, though Americans will benefit from a declining Aussie dollar, recently pegged at about U.S.50 cents. That makes the price of a Partagas Serie D No. 4 Au$44, a mere $22 per stick. A Fuente Fuente OpusX Robusto, however, is no bargain at Au$130 ($65).
If the cigar you choose was made well, you're not going to be disappointed, because Fidel's manager, Angelo Giannakopoulos, takes great pride in proper maintenance and presentation and the club itself.
"Fidel's revived the cigar business in Melbourne," Giannakopoulos claims. "We get a lot of businessmen, hotel guests, gamblers and celebrities."
Those hotel guests and gamblers come down to Fidel's from the Crown Hotel and Casino, reputed to be the largest in the world outside the United States. It's a toned-down version of Vegas with no attempt made at re-creating the Great Barrier Reef or the Outback. "Survivor" here means you left the tables with enough to pay the airfare back home or for a couple of lovely Armagnacs, particularly the 1978 La Courtoisie Bas or even the 1983. Check to see if the bar is having a Calvados tasting while you're in town.
If you are with friends, try to get into one of three private rooms at the club. The only requirement is that the group have a minimum size of six that spends at least Au$600 (U.S.$300) during the evening. Even if you stay out in the lounge, you'll be treated well by the staff and will be comfortable in the large leather club chairs.
The crowd tends to be upscale and the dress is something called "smart casual," something short of a suit but more than a pair of khakis. Most folks are dressed as if they just came from the theater or any of a dozen high-end eateries around town. The place gets going after dinner and runs hot until late at night.
If there's one quibble with Fidel's, it's the ashtrays. They are not made for cigars, but if that's the biggest problem with the lounge, you've no reason not to drop in.
Alejandro Benes spends much of his time smoking cigars around the world while alleging to pursue business opportunities.

No league of their own
Barred from all-white leagues, three women found a place to play
By Dan Silverman
According to James Riley's The Biographical Encyclopedia of the Negro Baseball Leagues, Toni Stone batted a respectable .243 during her first season, which included a hit off legendary pitcher Satchel Paige.
There's a scene in the movie,
A League of Their Own
, about the birth of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League during World War II, when the ball gets away from the players on the field. It stops near an African-American woman, who was not participating in the action. She picks it up and whips it back in, the ball popping impressively into the mitt of one of the players. The moment was a poignant reminder, during an otherwise uplifting story, that this unique opportunity was not available for African-Americans. Not that the league, which lasted from 1943-54, had any written rules against it. "The people I've spoken to didn't blame the absence of black players on prejudice," said Bill Madden, author of The All-American Girls Professional Baseball League Record Book. "More than one person I interviewed told me they just weren't up to speed. They said black women at the time weren't really involved in softball, which is where they got most of their players." "We had a few blacks try out, but they just weren't as good," said Carl Winsch, manager of the league's South Bend Blue Sox from 1951-54. But after some consideration, he admitted, "If the league tried harder, shook the bushes more, as we used to say, we might've come up with someone." That someone could've been Mamie "Peanut" Johnson. In fact, the black woman in the movie was intended to represent Johnson, who attended a league tryout in Alexandria, Virginia in the early 50s.

The motives
Branch Rickey had several reasons for signing Jackie Robinson to a pro contract with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Historian Steve Goldman has the details.
Segregated Baseball: A Kaleidoscopic review
While the very existence of the Negro Leagues was necessary because of the racial divides in the United States, black baseball not only survived -- it excelled.
Traveling show
Barnstorming was common place in the Negro Leagues.
"I showed up with a friend of mine, Rita Jones," said Johnson. "They looked at me like I was crazy. They never even let me try out." Instead, Johnson would go on to play in the Negro Leagues -- with the men. She was actually one of three known women of the era to play in the League, along with Toni Stone and Connie Morgan. Stone was the first of the three to make it. After barnstorming with minor league teams in the late 1940s, she was signed by the Indianapolis Clowns in 1953 to replace a second baseman named Hank Aaron, who had left to play in the Major Leagues. As Aaron and some of the other black superstars trickled into the Majors, the Negro Leagues were forced to look for new gate attractions. "Truly, the incentive was to get fans," said Ray Doswell, curator of the Negro Leagues Museum in Kansas City. "But it's not like they could get just anyone off the street. They found a real athlete in Toni Stone." Negro League statistics were not as efficiently compiled as were those of the Major Leagues, but according to James Riley's The Biographical Encyclopedia of the Negro Baseball Leagues, Stone batted a respectable .243 her first season, which included a hit off legendary pitcher Satchel Paige. "[Paige] was so good that he'd ask batters where they wanted it, just so they'd have a chance," said Stone before she died in 1996. "So I get up there and he says, 'Hey, T, how do you like it?' And I said, 'It doesn't matter, just don't hurt me.' When he wound up -- he had these big old feet -- all you could see was his shoe. I stood there shaking, but I got a hit. Right out over second base. Happiest moment in my life." Stone was traded to the Kansas City Monarchs after 50 games, and was replaced by another woman, 19-year-old Connie Morgan. "Morgan was another great athlete," said Doswell. "She played several sports, including basketball, in the offseason." But the ace of this trio had to be Johnson. While Stone and Morgan both played second base, Johnson, who joined the Clowns as a starting pitcher in 1953, was part of the regular rotation. "I pitched every six days or so," said Johnson. "Sometimes I went nine innings, other times six or seven." And how did she do? "I struck out my share." One victim, who played for the Birmingham Black Barons, was particularly memorable. "He said I wasn't as big as a peanut, how'd I expect to strike anyone out," said Johnson. And how did he fare against her? "Oh I struck him out." Though the nickname "Peanut" stuck, resentment toward Johnson did not. For the most part, the rest of the players wholeheartedly accepted her. "The men I played with were complete gentlemen," emphasized Johnson. Says Doswell, who has witnessed firsthand how Johnson is received during Negro League reunions, "Mamie Johnson is just like one of the guys." That fact was quite evident last year in Queens, New York, during a Negro League Conference at LaGuardia Community College. Johnson took her place at the dais with other former Negro League players: Bob Scott, Jim Robinson and Lionel Evelyn. She fit right in, reminiscing with the fellas about playing ball as a kid, talking about her favorite baseball memories, bemoaning the modern player's lack of a sense of history. But among the audience, Johnson clearly stood out. Few people were familiar with former Negro Leaguers beyond a handful of superstars. Even fewer were aware that women played -- and held their own -- alongside some of these legends of the game. But there sat Peanut Johnson, a living testament to a fascinating piece of baseball history. A typical "Peanut" moment came when Bruce Brooks, the moderator of the event and a professor at LaGuardia (as well as a professional baseball fan) asked about a well-known story that claims Satchel Paige taught Johnson how to throw a curveball. Johnson, however, showed mock indignation at the suggestion that she needed such advice. "He didn't teach me how to throw it, he taught me how to perfect it," corrected Johnson. "I knew how to throw it." And throw it she did. During three seasons, some records show Johnson with an overall 33-8 mark. While she has nothing but positive memories about her playing days -- "Have you ever won a million dollars?" she responded to a question about how she looks back on her time in the Negro Leagues -- Johnson does have some strong opinions about today's players. "I don't think they realize, or understand, that if it weren't for these gentlemen," said Johnson, referring to her fellow panel members, "for Mr. Robinson, for Mr. Banks, Mr. Aaron, Mr. Mays, then they wouldn't be where they are today." Johnson left the Negro Leagues in 1955 -- "I had a young son, and it was time for me to come home" -- and pursued a career in nursing for more than 30 years. But she has never really left the game. She runs the Negro League Baseball Shop with her son, Gary, in Maryland. Clearly, baseball has remained a part of Mamie "Peanut" Johnson's soul. "Those were the three best years of my life," said Johnson. "Just to know I was good enough to be there was a tremendous thing for me. "If they didn't let me play, I wouldn't be who I am today, and I'm very proud of that."

Has it occurred to you that you might be in love with Greece, Wind? Yes, I am certain it has.
I also love the colors of the sea in your photographs, and am especially fond of the two where the sun forms patterns on the water. But, my favorite photos are the ones which include the Roman aqueduct and the fortress on the hilltop. Those are the places which would draw me toward them in a visual sense, and I would think it fantastic to stand atop the tower in the fortress and look at the world around me.
Your photographic skills never fail but to amaze me.

This series fills me with mixed feelings. A beautiful place but with such poverty in certain places...
Many of those photos are works of art all by themselves. Independent, beautiful, but full of meaning. And right after that, a scene of almost utter desolation... Is it possible that some have all the money while others have none?
Beautiful, Daliana, beautiful, thank you oh so very much.

I can't believe it's already December. I haven't been keeping up with my blogging as much as I should be. I've just been busy. Busy with revising my MS. Busy with holiday stuff coming up. And just busy with a bunch of other things on my plate outside of my writing life.
But I haven't forgotten what I've been working on these past two plus years. So I keep telling myself to get back to work. Though I have to admit that sometimes the whole "I-would-like-to-be-an-author" thing and the thoughts of stuff associated with that can exhaust me not just physically, but emotionally.
So I keep telling myself it's important to find balance and not let one thing I have on my "would-like-to-do" list keep me from enjoying the rest of my life. Notice I don't refer to what I'm working on as something on my "must-do" list because, considering what's going on in the rest of the world, being an author is just frosting on the cake but not an absolute necessity.
Recently, I was really glad to stumble upon this nice article titled On Real Life & Writing written by award-winning kidlit author Rukhsana Khan about why it's important to have a life even though it's easy to get lost in writing. Insightful stuff.

A three-dimensional hologram of President Ronald Reagan is going to be unveiled Thursday at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute. It is the first light-based depiction of a former commander in chief. Library staff received help from top Hollywood special effects artists to bring the 40th President to future generations. Reagan was 93 when he died in 2004. There are three different hologram depictions that will play in a theater at the library.

Esher chief executive Mike Schmid is hoping there is a case to appeal prop Ollie Mines' three month suspension – because his absence will only hit the club in the pocket.
The 25-year-old picked up the punishment last week for after pleading guilty to punching or striking an opponent in last season's 32-17 National Division One triumph over Richmond on April 26.
Schmid felt the punishment, which will see Mines unavailable until the beginning of November at the earliest, was a little harsh and is considering a challenge to the ruling.
And the Molesey Road chief, who has already seen prop Stewart Maguire join Championship side London Scottish this summer, admitted the club could ill afford his absence.
"When we found out he had been cited by Richmond we were very surprised," said Schmid, who welcomes his men back to pre-season training this weekend.
"We did not feel the punishment fitted the crime. It was a punch thrown at player who was holding Ollie back and keeping him out of the game. The mitigation process did not go our way.
"We are looking at it and if there is room for an appeal then we will look at it.
"It is disappointing because we were looking for Ollie to push on and establish himself in the front row and be the main replacement for Stewart.
"Props are very valuable commodities in today's game. It is a financially valuable position to be playing if you are good.
"Good props are worth their weight in gold."
