Pfeiffer fire near Big Sur, Calif.
The MODIS or Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer instrument that flies aboard NASA's Aqua satellite captured an image of smoke and detected the heat from the Pfeiffer Fire near Big Sur, California on December 16 at 21:05 UTC/4:05 p.m. EST. The red outlined area represents the heat from the fire.
According to Reuters News, the fire has destroyed at least 15 homes and caused many residential evacuations.
The Incident Information System called Inciweb, the U.S. multi-agency firefighting website, reported that the wildfire started around midnight Pacific Standard local time on December 16 in the vicinity of Pfeiffer Ridge in the Monterey Ranger District of Los Padres National Forest. It is in an area of rugged terrain and has already consumed over 500 acres. As of December 17, the fire was zero percent contained.

Shutdown sparring a warm-up for debt fight
Everyone in Washington and on Wall Street is fixated on the potential for a government shutdown in less than two weeks.
But those in power and closest to the situation say a debt default is a bigger threat. That's the thinking at the highest levels of Congress as Washington dives headfirst into a contentious fall.
Story Continued Below
Here's the reality: Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) will eventually have to bring a funding bill to the House floor that keeps the government — and Obamacare — running. That's the bill the House will most likely receive from the Senate shortly after Boehner's chamber resumes work on Wednesday, just days short of an Oct. 1 government shutdown.
( Also on POLITICO: White House, GOP battle over Obamacare fraud)
That's because the Senate will not accept the entirety of the three-month $986 billion continuing resolution that Boehner will attempt to pass Friday. The Senate will strip the language that's meant to defund President Barack Obama's health care law — strong language that was drafted to appease Boehner's right wing. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), however, can remove that Obamacare provision with a simple majority vote in the upper chamber.
If Reid is successful and the Senate clears the revised continuing resolution, Boehner and House Republicans will then be back in the spotlight. And the speaker may need the support of House Democrats to pass the measure.
It won't be pretty, but that so-called clean CR could pass the House with roughly 180 Republican votes with the remainder coming from the Democratic side of the aisle, according to senior GOP sources. White House deputy chief of staff Rob Nabors met with the House Democratic Caucus on Wednesday to walk through government funding scenarios. Although some Democrats are pushing to turn off the sequester as part of any CR deal, White House officials believe they can count on between 40 and 50 Democratic votes for a clean CR at the $986 billion level, giving House leaders enough to reach the key 217 vote level.
( WATCH: Chuck Schumer: 'We are not negotiating on the debt ceiling')
Over in the Senate, the chamber's rules dictate that Reid will face at least one expected Republican filibuster on the government funding bill — meaning he has to muster 60 votes to cut off debate. Senate Democratic aides are hopeful — although not fully confident — that they can get there after they remove the Obamacare language.
"[Senate Minority Leader Mitch] McConnell is the wild card here," said a Senate Democratic staffer. "He hasn't told us what he's going to do yet."
Republican Sens. Mike Lee of Utah, Ted Cruz of Texas and Marco Rubio of Florida are also wild cards. If Lee and Cruz can persuade at least 38 of their colleagues to support a sustained filibuster of the funding bill, that would block any of Reid's potential maneuvers and put a shutdown within reach.
In a statement, the Senate GOP troika praised Boehner for offering the House bill, but they noted that Reid would strip out the Obamacare language. In short, it's a signal they don't have the votes — or wherewithal — to sustain a filibuster. Their statement urged House Republicans to "stand firm, hold their ground and continue to listen to the American people."
( Also on POLITICO: Senate GOP mum on House CR plan)
But House Republicans saw the statement as a sign their Senate colleagues were waving the white flag on getting rid of Obamacare.
"We trust Republicans in the Senate will put up a fight worthy of the challenge that Obamacare poses," Boehner spokesman Michael Steel said in a statement.
There are unpredictable elements for House Republicans, as well. The most worrisome involves defense funding. If Reid needs to increase money for the Pentagon to earn the votes of hawkish senators like John McCain, passing a funding bill will become a lot trickier in the House.
House GOP aides expect between 150 and 180 Republicans to eventually support a CR that comes back from the Senate — just enough support to keep Boehner out of hot water.
( Also on POLITICO: House GOP CR to fund — and defund)
The nation will be perilously close to a government shutdown, and Boehner and his leadership team — bolstered by a raft of polling — will make the case that a shutdown will cost Republicans their House majority.

Geller House
The Geller House is a one-family one-story home. Large floor-to-ceiling windows punctuate the façade, which is composed of stained wood and fleidstone. Only to the home's doors has color been applied. The roofline is butterfly-pitched and is in contrast to the flat Long Island topography.
The Geller House, when designed and constructed, was situated on a corner lot that had a 456'-0" front along Ocean Avenue and 221'-0" sides. That lot was subdivided between 1963 and 1967; the new lot retains the 221'-0" sides but has a frontage which has been reduced to 245'-0". The main house Breuer designed and built for the Geller family is 77'-0" x 67'-0". The house is set back 59'-0" from Ocean Avenue and 120'-0" from the rear of the property. The house was originally set back 60'-0" from either of the side property lines and took up ten percent of the total property. From the ground to the highest point of the roof beams, the house reaches 15'-0" and is one story tall, with a cellar.
Set on the same lot as the main house, the garage is 80'-0" x 20'-0" and, also one story tall, reaches a height of 12'-0". The garage is set back 34' from Ocean Avenue and 77'-0" from the rear. It was originally set back 140'-0" from both sides of the lot although, after the lot was subdivided, it now sits just 25'-0" from one adjacent lot. Situated on a corner lot, the placement of the garage provides the main house with increased privacy.
The main house has a total of 2,284 square feet. It has five bedrooms, three full bathrooms, one fireplace, a child's play area, one kitchen, a living/dining area, and a wash room (complete with a laundry sink, tub, and washing machine). Breuer designed the layout of the home so that similar functions would be situated near each other. One enters the house through the main hall. Two small coat closets are situated to the left and right of the front door. A set of French doors in the hall open to the rear porch, which was screened-in in August, 1992. A classic feature of Breuer's "bi-nuclear" house, the hall serves as the dividing space between the home's daytime and nighttime areas. Walking to the right from the front hall, one enters the nighttime area, where the three children's rooms, playroom, bathroom, master bedroom, and master bathroom are located. Two doors in the playroom lead directly to the front and back yard. The children's rooms do not have doors and open directly into the playarea which has floor-to-ceiling windows. The openness of the design creates the illusion of a larger space than which actually exists; it also promotes an enhanced sense of freedom for the children to move about in their home.
The dining room and living room are the first two rooms to the left of the entry hall. The two rooms are separated only by a bookshelf. A fireplace is situated in the living room, furthest from the dining room. Floor-to-ceiling windows allow a great deal of light to enter the living room.
The kitchen is adjacent to the dining room and the two rooms are separated by sliding panels that allow food and dishes to be passed between the two rooms. The utility room is adjacent to the kitchen; it is also adjacent to the maids room and bathroom. The utility room was designed to be extremely functional and efficient, with an ironing board that could be unfolded from a built-in cabinet. The kitchen and utility room are separated by walls of structural glass. The Geller House bathroom walls are also all constructed using structural glass. A service entry is located in the utility room, which leads to an outdoor path which connects the main house to the garage/guest house.
The garage/guest house is located just northeast of the main house. It has a total living area of 1,200 square feet. Upon entry to the guest house, bedrooms are located to both the left and to the right. A door leading to a small full bathroom is located directly in the entry area. A storage room is located adjacent to the guest quarters and has its own exterior entry. The garage (carport) is located adjacent to the storage room.
In August 1967 a swimming pool was installed behind the house (see photo).
In 1992 a pool cabana was added to the property in proximity to the pool. That same year, the back porch was screened-in.
Construction details can be found in "Technical" section.
Marcel Breuer was introduced to Bertram Geller through contractor Gordon Roth. Commissioned just after World War II, Marcel Breuer designed the Geller house to meet the needs of modern American family living. The Geller family consisted of Bertram and Phyllis and their three sons, the eldest of whom was seven. Geller had specific ideas about how the home for his wife and children should be designed, but Breuer found those ideas to be very "child un-friendly" and thus convinced Geller to adopt a design concept which could better accommodate a growing family. The home Breuer proposed to build for Geller was "bi-nuclear." Breuer's bi-nuclear concept, consistent with Breuer's background, is rooted in the Bauhaus. The concept consisted of two elements which have been joined, roughly in the shape of an "H." The center of the "H" divides the daytime and nighttime uses: separating "…presentable spaces from the necessarily chaotic domain of children." House & Garden, in 1947, referred to this house as a "complete departure" from the old fashioned bungalow, where bedrooms radiated at random from the main living rooms." Breuer, when talking about his residential designs, spoke primarily about their "convenience of operation" and how design facilitates family living; the Geller house was designed with much consideration given to this convenience.
Construction: Both the main house and the garage/guest house were constructed using Western framing. Some of the main house façade was constructed using masonry although stained redwood panels were used for the majority of the exteriors of both the garage and main house and also for the interior garage walls. The sills, posts, plates, and braces were also constructed from wood (fir) and were all, with the exception of the exterior garage wall bracing (which was 1"x6"), were 4"x4." The main house interior walls were constructed of weld board while the interior of the garage was constructed of wood. The studding of all interior walls was 2"x4" on 16" centers. The wooden walls were protected from the pipes with rock wool insulation. The foundation of the main house was constructed of 8" thick concrete which was sunk 4' below grade. The footing for the main house foundation walls was earth. No piers were used for construction of the main house. The garage foundation was constructed of concrete and stone. Because the garage was set on a sand base, concrete footings and piers in addition to stone walls were used in foundation construction.
The floors of the Geller house are constructed of 6" thick concrete; the garage floor was reinforced with ½" rods set 6" on center.
All roofs are flat and were constructed using asphalt and gravel. Rafters are 2"x10" and are spaced 16" on center. The main house was constructed to use dry wells to dispose of roof water, while the garage was designed to use a copper leader to do the same.
The main house has one chimney, which was constructed of tile.
Until 1974 when the property was connected to the Village sewer system, the Geller house had one cast iron cesspool, the diameter of which was 5" and which fell ¼" per foot. The cesspool was situated 15' from the main house. The Geller house was also constructed with two cast iron soil pipes, three of which extended above the roof.
Corresponding to the 1967 addition of the swimming pool, a dry well was installed on the property. In 1992, a one story pool cabana was erected on the property.
Technical: Marcel Breuer paid great attention to all details of the Geller House. One of the most prominent technical features that Breuer incorporated into the home's design was the butterfly-pitched roof, which eliminated gutters and drains at the roof edge. This roofline also addressed the technical problems with flat roofs which, which were common by the late 1940's. The design incorporated a new edging detail "…made with standard metal coping sections applied on the job without soldering or welding…" and that would keep the edge much more watertight than earlier designs. The roof also incorporated tar and gravel to allow for inside drainage.
The layout of the home was designed, similar to many of Breuer's residential homes, with the potential for its expansion: in this instance, the garage could eventually become an additional bedroom and bathroom.
The full-height windows on both sides of the living area were frosted on the lower sections so that both light and privacy could be incorporated into the space. These glass walls were double thickness, providing insulation and eliminating heat loss. Outside the house, horizontal louvers in front of the upper panels further reduce glare inside the living room from glare from the sky and helped to create a more even distribution of daylight. Smaller technical details that Breuer incorporated into the Geller house were a dishwasher, washing machine, gas dryer, and a television-radio-phonograph console. Breuer even designed the dishes and linens. The walls, doors, and any uncarpeted floors were lacquered so that they would be washable and resilient to any damage the children may cause them.
The garage was designed so that there would be a two-foot space between the sidewalls and the ground so that snow that blew could also be blown out. There is a wall grille in the rear of the garage which provides ventilation to the adjacent storage room.
Unlike many residential mechanical/electrical systems during the 1940's, Marcel Breuer designed the Geller House to have a centralized mechanical/electrical system. The "mechanical core" of the home was located in a small 4' x 7' room situated directly off of the children's playroom. The home was warmed using radiant heat. Floor coils were grouped in four sections of the home and could be adjusted using a thermostat. Automatic controls helped to adjust heat based on the penetration of sunlight and to shifting winds.
The Geller House is not only one of Breuer's earliest American works, but it is his first realized building upon his split from Gropius, the architect with whom Breuer had previously designed many buildings. As World War II came to a close, many architectural periodicals held design competitions to "…propose family houses that could be put up quickly and cheaply – also, to some extent, as a contribution to the potentially desirable aim of re-establishing 'family values.'" Breuer's bi-nuclear plan for the Geller house was built in response to such a competition held by California Arts and Architecture entitled 'Designs for post-war living." At the time the Geller House was constructed, there was a ban on residential construction on Long Island. Despite this ban, Breuer was permitted to build the house because it "…was regarded by the U.S. government as an experimental prefabricated house – one, conceivably, that could be adopted on a large scale after the war. Its bi-nuclear plan was seen to be ideal for the postwar family." When it was constructed, "modern" houses did not exist in the suburbs; it paved the way for a wave of subsequent modern homes in suburban areas and, specifically, in Long Island.
The Geller House was important because it was constructed of "brand new thinking, realized in wood and stone." It has been planned so that two generations can live closely with each other, without getting in each other's way.
The Geller House is also socially significant for the dramatic impact that it had on Herbert Beckhard. Beckhard regards the Geller House as a catalyst for his chosen career as an architect and as an inspiration for the way that he thought about architecture.
Between 1925 and 1960 extensive residential construction occurred on Long Island. These homes, termed "Long Island Modern, "…preceded the post-1960's wave of arrogant, showy construction." A 1987 exhibit of Long Island Modern architecture at East Hampton's Guild Hall displayed a compilation of this architectural type and served as a reminder that Long Island was once one of the country's major incubators for modern architecture. One of the reasons that Long Island was an appropriate landscape for modern design was its open, horizontal stretches of landscape. Marcel Breuer's Geller House, for its innovative bi-nuclear design, was a major contributor to the modern aesthetic which developed on Long Island during that time period. The Geller House represented "…an ideal – indeed, glamorous – the image of upper-middle-class modern life. Its success opened for Breuer a window on the possibilities of independence architectural practice in a postwar America rich with optimism and with fresh cultural and material prospects in a period of disappearing austerity."
In 1947, House & Garden magazine awarded the Geller House "honorable mention" in a design competition and acknowledged it as "…one of the most successful modern houses built since the war."
The Geller House, as one of the earliest executions of Marcel Breuer's bi-nuclear design, helped set the stage for a trend in residential modern design on Long Island in the years following World War II. Its butterfly-pitched roof and its efficient design scheme that distinguished between daytime and nighttime uses became a prototype for how modern family living could be ideally achieved.

The Barbados Legends Football Tournament
The Beautiful Game – is there anything quite like it? Some people will do anything for it – they'll skip work, stay up all night, give up their family – all in the search for the ultimate football fix.
It's a wonderfully addictive game of skill and luck – this perfect combination ensures that we can't help coming back for more. For anyone under the misapprehension that the Brits beat anyone when it comes to their love for of football, look no further than the sun soaked island of Barbados.The Bajans are a nation of sporting heroes and fanatics and the country has long since been renowned for hosting a number of one-of-a-kind sporting events.
With its excellent on-island facilities coupled with the enthusiasm of its people, Barbados boasts a legacy of having previously hosted a number of world class events including the 2006 PGA World Golf Championships at the Sandy Lane Resort, the ICC Cricket World Cup Finals in 2007 and the Sentebale Charity Polo match with Prince Harry of Wales in 2010 to mention just a few.
"Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that."– Bill Shankly, OBE

Tagged: Cleveland Indians; Tribe
Trade Day
The Tribe beat me to the punch by making a trade before I could post. That's what happens when you wait till the trade deadline day to post, oh well.
The Indians traded Justin Masterson to the St. Louis Cardinals for AA outfielder James Ramsey. First about Masterson. I wrote in my earlier blogs that the Indians should jump at the chance to sign Masterson to a new deal. Masterson was reportedly looking for a 2-3 year deal around 17 million per year. The Cincinnati Reds signed Homer Bailey to a 6 year $105 million contract earlier this spring. Bailey has similiar career numbers as Masterson and the pay scale was going to be similar for Justin. I was in favor of giving Masterson this deal. For one starting pitching does not come cheap. For $10 million per year you get a hope and prayer free agent. Last year the Tribe gave free agent Brett Myers an $8 million dollar contract. Myers was not even a starting pitcher the year before and Myers delivered an 8.02 ERA for that gamble. Thank you very little. The Tribe signed Grady Sizemore to a $5 million dollar contract his last season here, and he didn't play in one game. At least he didn't enter any games and make them completely unwinnable as Myers did. If you up the pay to say around $12.5 million per year you get a pitcher who comes with his own gun. This is what Baltimore had to pay Ubaldo Jimenez.
Jimenez is 3-8 on the year with a 4.52 ERA. Here is the best part. Ubaldo leads the league in walks. Not so unimaginable you say. He has missed almost a month of the season with an injury to his ankle in the parking lot, and he still leads the league in walks! Enjoy that for 3 more years Oriole fan.
So as you see unless you spend some significant money on starting pitching you probably are going to be playing with fire. You could have signed Scott Kazmir as I had hoped for 11 million per year. Kazmis is currently 12-3 with a 2.37 ERA. The cost of signing other pitchers was the one reason for my wanting to sign Masterson, but also the length of the contract. Masterson was asking for a fairly sizeable contract per year, but he was willing to take a 2-3 year contract. Most pitchers will take no less than 4 years to sign and will push for 6 to 7 years. The Tribe will always be leary of offering any free agent that length of contract, exspecially pitching. I thought it would be a contract that the Tribe could live with for 2-3 years considering the cost of marginal pitching. The Indians didn't bite and in hindsite it looks like the right move. Masterson has had a horrible season, and for the Indians to pull anything out in a trade looks to be win for the Indians.
In my 20 years being at Tribe games I have never tried to hard to meet the players. I did meet Masterson a couple of times and he seemed like the most genuine person. He was always smiling and had such a positive attitude. I couldn't help but think he would be your best friend. I remember when Jack Hannahan was on the team and his wife was having their first child. Masterson got the team togeather and chartered a private jet to make sure Hannahan made it back from Boston to be there in time. It spoke volumes of who Masteron is as a person. So even is he is not on the team I will always root for Masty.
The player the Tribe recieved from St. Louis, James Ramsey. The reports I have read say he is decent prospect. He batted .300 with 13 HRs in AA Texas League. He probably could fill in as 4th outfielder or possible replace David Murphy. The St. Louis Cardinal have an abbundance of outfield prospects which held Ramsey up from being in AAA. The Texas League is notorious for being a picthers league so for Ramsey to be batting .300 with 13 HRs may be a good sign. The Tribe is sending him to AAA Columbus and we may see him by the end of the year. Hopefully the Indians have found a diamond in the rough. The Indians traded Jake Westbrook to St. Louis and ended up with Corey Kluber four years ago.
Ok what do I expect the Tribe to do at the deadline:
I went to the game Tuesday night with the family. On the way home the radio host was aking should the Indians be buyers or sellers this week. I looked at my wife and said they should be sellers …… and buyers. I didn't see any harm in getting rid of Masterson, Asdrubal Cabrera, and John Axford. None of these players are helping the Tribe reach there goal of making the playoffs and can be replaced. In fact replacing them may even improve the team at some positions. Each player has some value and as we saw even Masterson can return a viable major league prospect. I assume Cabrera may return about the same if not more. There are a few teams looking for middle infield help and Cabrera would probably be the biggest name available. I'am sure he will go to another team and flourish as did Jhnny Peralta. I would still take Asdrubal over Peralta to this day. Asdrubal has been highly disappointing the last couple years but he is not worthless. If I was another team I wouldn't touch John Axford with a 10 foot pole, but I still think there might be some team who would take him. I'm not asking for much. I look at it as addition by subtraction. These moves would not be to surprising. Any other plays shipped away would. I don't see the Indians going into full sell mode with the playoff berth so close. The Tribe does have some relievers that have value and could be replaced. I still think the Indians have the belief they can make the playoffs this year, and are not looking to move players other than those not helping (Free agents who can be replaced).
For the last 2 plus years my main concern has been the Tribe's bats. The Indians may be in the top half of the league in runs scored, but their offense is to sporadic to be considered great. This line up cries out for a great right handed power bat. Band-Aid players such as David Murphy, Mark Reynolds and others are not getting the job done. The Indians need to get a bonafide right handed hitter into this lineup. Swisher will never be a superstar, but I don't think he will hit .200 all year either. He is not going to hit his career average of .265 this year, but there is no reason not to believe he can't hit that for the rest of the year. He shouldn't see the field again though as he has been atrocious at 1st base. Santana failed miserably at 3rd base, but has amazingly looked stellar at first. The defense may be settling in. Gomes after a shaky start has looked awesome. Santana has looked almost like a gold glove at first, while Kipnis is average defensively. Kipnis doesn't seem to come up with balls on the ground but he is not a liability in the field either. Fransico Lindor will be taking over short next year and he is supposedly a glod glove shortstop. So other than Chisenhall at 3rd the infield looks good defensively. Brantley is a stud in left field and Bourn has won gold gloves in center. I have not witnessed Bourn being a gold glove centerfielder, but he has been so I don't see why he can't be a plus defender there now. Dickerson has filled in great as fourth outfielder and has a great arm. Ultimately I think the defensive lapse will settle down. Some miscues came from players who normally have been good defensively (Gomes), while others came from players being moved positions (Santana). The players who commited the most errors will either not be here next year (Cabrera) or be DHing next year (Swisher) other than Chisenhall.
The problem with adding a bat at the trade deadline is that the Indians have very little flexability at this moment. With Santana maning 1st base that puts Swisher at the DH position. I doubt the Indians would be willing to sit Swisher and his contract. As I mentioned I don't see Swisher hitting .200 all year either, and I'am sure the Tribe is counting on that changing. Right field is another spot that could be upgraded but then again David Murphy has a 2 year contract. I don't think the Indians would be willing to eat the rest of this year and next to sit Murphy. So the Indians really have no place to put another bat even though their lineup screams for one. Ultimately I don't see the Tribe bringing in any major upgrades. If they did here are some names I have heard mentioned that may be available.
Who should the Indians be looking to buy?
Matt Kemp: L.A. Dodgers – No way the Tribe pays this guys salary (108 million for the next 6 years, $18 per year) even though it's a bat that would look great in right field.
Andre Either: L.A. Dodgers – Again to high of salary for the Tribe but would be a big upgrade in right even if he is left handed.
Carlos Gonzalez: Rockies – Another lefty but a career .295 hitter with some pop having a down year.
Josh Willingham: Twins – May be on the wrong side of 30 and having his second consecutive off year. But he would be in the Indians budget at 7 million per year, and is right handed with pop.
Marlon Byrd: Phillies – Affordable contract for a right handed hitter with pop. The Phillies would probably ask for a major prospect for a 2 month rental and I don't think the Tribe wants to rent players.
**Billy Butler: Royals – The Royals offense has not performed very well this year and Butler has been one of the culprits. If the Royals have become unhappy with Butler and if they were willing to trade him I would jump on it. Other than Lindor who do you want from our farm system K.C.?
**Alex Rios: Rangers – He may be slightly out of the Indians price range, but would he would be a great fit in right for the Tribe.
This off season: My wife has said it to me numerous times, "Wouldn't Victor Martinez's right handed bat look good in the Tribe lineup!" He will be a free agent this year 😉
We may say goodbye to Asdrubal and others, but the Indians will try and win with this lineup. I don't expect the Indians to bring in anyone of importance by trade. They may try and bring in another pitcher (Bartlo Colon!), but my thoughts are they should work on bringing in a bat for this year and beyond.

Symzonia; Voyage of Discovery, by Adam Seaborn (pseud. John Cleves Symmes?), [1820], at sacred-texts.com
p. vi
The Author of this work, and of the discoveries which it relates, leaves it to his readers to decide whether he excels most as a navigator or a writer, aid whether he amuses as much as he instructs. If he has any professional vanity, arising from his enterprises upon the sea, it does not tempt him to conceal that, in the achievements here recorded, he availed himself of all the lights and facilities afforded by the sublime theory of an internal world, published by Captain John Cleve Symmes, and by the application of steam to the navigation of vessels, for which the world is indebted to Fulton. Far from coveting what does not belong
p. vii
to himself, he feels, after having discovered and explored a world before unknown, that he can well afford to bestow on others the praise to which they are entitled. He has one consolation, in which he is confident of the sympathy of those who wish him well; namely, that if the book is not bought and read, it will not be because it is not an American book. He gives notice that he has no intention to relinquish his right to the invention of oblique paddles for steam ships, though the circumstances narrated at the close of the volume hinder him from taking out a patent at present.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—The Birmingham-Southern softball team opened Southern Athletic Association play today, winning two games against Rhodes at BSC Softball Park, 2-0 and 3-1.
The Panthers move to 5-7 and 2-0 in the SAA; the Lynx drop to 11-5 and 0-2 in the league.
Freshman Taylor Harkins (2-2) threw the complete-game shutout in game one, giving up six hits with three strikeouts and no walks. The game was scoreless until the bottom of the sixth, when junior Alyssa Statham led off with a walk, followed by junior Hannah Harris reaching on a fielder's choice and freshman Amanda Ballew doubling to left-center to put runners on second and third. Freshman Taylor Brewer hit a deep sac-fly to left field, allowing Harris to score, and BSC scored again on the next play on a Rhodes error.
In the nightcap, the Lynx scored once in the top of the second in what would turn out to be their only run of the game. A Statham RBI single in the bottom of the fourth tied things up, and the Panthers scored the go-ahead run in the bottom of the fifth on another Lynx error. Rhodes walked in a BSC insurance run later that inning when junior Taylor Bassett drew four balls with the bases loaded.
Junior Bethany Fronk (3-5) threw a complete game and gave up six runs and one earned run with one strikeout and no walks.
The series concludes tomorrow with a noon doubleheader at BSC Softball Park.

Asian stocks chalked up thin gains in a cautious technical bounce on Friday as concerns over the US interest rate outlook meant another weak performance on Wall Street provided no support, dealers said.
They said there was no incentive to take aggressive positions on the day as a deadly bomb in Kabul drew fresh attention to the terrorist threat ahead of the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks on the US tomorrow.
The main issue remained the possibility the US Federal Reserve will hike interest rates again -- rather than remain on hold -- after the latest US salary figures pointed to future inflation pressures.
The markets had been looking ahead to next year and the prospect the Fed would begin cutting rates as the US economy slowed but those hopes appear moot, at least until the US central bank meets again Sept. 20 and gives fresh guidance.
Taiwan share prices closed 0.12 percent higher as robust sales figures last month from select companies offset the negative impact of further losses on Wall Street, dealers said.
Turnover remained thin, however, in cautious trade, with many investors on the sidelines ahead of yesterday's protest against President Chen Shui-bian (
The weighted index added 7.88 points at 6,693.11, off a low of 6,654.77 and a high of 6,718.83, on turnover of NT$62.67 billion (US$1.90 billion).
Declines led gains 530 to 488, with 190 stocks unchanged.
Select technology firms rallied on solid sales last month, while tourism-related stocks lost ground following a report that China wants parallel negotiations with Taiwan over more charter cross-strait flights and allowing more Chinese tourists to visit Taiwan.
The report raised worries that the expected relaxation of policy regarding Chinese tourists may be delayed, dealers said.
First Taisec Securities manager Stanley Hsu said the market continued its rangebound consolidation as political concerns lingered.
"Turnover was light because investors stayed on the sidelines, given uncertainties surrounding the outcome of [yesterday's] sit-in protest," Hsu said.
Going forward, investors will keep a wary eye on any confrontation that may arise during the protests that began yesterday, he said.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. fell NT$0.40 to NT$56.70 and United Microelectronics Corp was unchanged at NT$18.05.
Japanese share prices rose 0.42 percent, recovering from early losses to stay above the key 16,000-point level after the Bank of Japan left its super-low interest rates unchanged, dealers said.
The market had fallen in early trade after another weak performance on Wall Street but support picked up after the settlement of the special quotations on futures and options contracts, dealers said.
The decision by the central bank to keep the key rate of borrowing at 0.25 percent, though widely expected, offered extra relief in late trade.
The Tokyo Stock Exchange's benchmark Nikkei-225 index gained 68.05 points to close at 16,080.46. The broader TOPIX index of all first-section stocks rose 6.46 points or 0.40 percent to 1,619.92.
Gains led losers 986 to 571, with 144 stocks unchanged.
Volume jumped to 2.40 billion shares from 1.72 billion shares on Thursday.
Hong Kong
Hong Kong share prices closed 0.29 percent higher on a technical rebound after falls over the past three sessions, with investors focusing on changes to the city's blue-chip index, dealers said.

OAKVILLE, Ont. - Hundreds of hardy Canadians welcomed the new year Tuesday with a splash into icy waters at Polar Bear Dip events across the country.
About 800 participants at this year's largest charity gathering, the Courage Polar Bear Dip, stripped down to their skivvies or donned outlandish costumes before jumping into Lake Ontario in Oakville, Ont.
According to organizers, the event, held just west of Toronto at Coronation Park, first began in 1995 and has since raised a total of $1,060,000 for the charity World Vision Canada.
This year, more than $120,000 will be donated to fund water projects Rwanda.
While waiting for the dip to begin, event co-founder Trent Courage says the tradition of doing a New Year Day's dip started with his mother Gaye who "forced" him and his brother into the lake 28 years ago because she heard of a similar Scandinavian practice.
Since then, the family has continued on the tradition, with him bringing his own young sons each year to join in on the fun with hundreds of others.
"It was basically just something to do on New Year's Day to basically start the year afresh, cleanse the soul, sort to speak," said Courage, donning a bathrobe on the beach trying to stay warm.
The Oakville resident says the event not only brings together families and adrenaline junkies — it also draws those who come dressed in costume.
Over the years, organizers have seen dippers dressed in wedding gowns, tuxedos and geisha outfits. This year was no exception, a man dressed as Baby New Year equipped with a diaper, sash and top hat and a trio of Smurf characters could be spotted in the crowd.
Courage says participants are drawn by the camaraderie of the event, but also that it's all for a good cause.
"You run in. It's exhilarating. You hyperventilate, your feet start to hurt to be honest with you but when you get changed, you start to feel amazing," he said. "No matter what, it's always very cold."
Cathy Sewell screamed with hundreds of others as she charged into frigid Lake Ontario.
On Tuesday, Environment Canada reported temperatures going down to -6 C, with a wind chill of -11.
The 48-year-old Milton, Ont., woman says she had been wanting to do the dip for years and is happy to now be able to cross it off her bucket list.
"I can't believe I did it. It's very cold but I did it," said Sewell, shivering underneath a towel following the event.
"I went down (in the water) just to the thighs and I did a dip. I'm very happy. It's great."
The lively event featured live music, prize draws and celebrity guests. Local emergency crews were also on standby in the water and on the beach as a precaution.
In Vancouver, thousands of swimmers gathered on the beach at English Bay, where the afternoon sun penetrated the grey overcast sky.
Organizers pegged the outside temperature at 6 C, with the water temperature around 7 C.
Sean Healy, director of aquatic ser vices for the City of Vancouver, said as many as 2,000 people participate in the event every year, with 18,000 spectators watching.
Jason Aviss, 44, of Langley, B.C., wore a spandex-like tuxedo, and said this was his second plunge and described it as a "cleansing thing."
He said the tuxedo allowed him to go formal.
Stacy Leech, 41, of Lillooet, B.C., said the swim wasn't his first but was the first for him in Vancouver after moving to the city to take a job.
Leech said he couldn't wait for the official start and went in early.
Similar events were held across Canada, in several cities including Toronto and Winnipeg.

Milton is Icons and Espressos.
Park Road is the original cafe strip, one of the first suburbs to undergo an urban revitalisation and credited with igniting Brisbane's love affair with exciting, individual villages. Milton is all about the restaurants and is a little corner of Europe within Brisbane with the iconic La Dolce Vita taking centre stage since 1989. It has the charm and the sophistication but with the everyday casual flamboyant attitude to it.
A favourite with the in-crowd, this lively street is characterised by the expensive sports cars that jostle for prime parking positions outside gift shops, fashion houses and restaurants that surround a replica of the Eiffel Tower - now a symbol of Park Road's cosmopolitan nature.
Milton is also home to the XXXX Ale House and Brewery where on any given day, the fragrant smell of hops will envelop you. Head towards the river and take a casual stroll along the picturesque riverside walkway to the famous Heritage-listed Regatta Hotel - one of Brisbane's oldest pubs.

'Fab' Trader Liable in Fraud
Jury Finds Ex-Goldman Employee Tourre Misled Investors in Mortgage Security
A federal jury found former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. trader Fabrice Tourre liable for defrauding investors in a deal that imploded during the financial crisis, delivering a victory for a U.S. regulator out to prove its mettle inside the courtroom.
The panel of nine jurors found Mr. Tourre liable on six of seven claims that he violated federal securities law by intentionally misleading investors. The jurors also determined he had aided and abetted an alleged fraud by Goldman....

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
In Luke Bryan's big hit "Crash My Party," he claims that he could be in the front row of the best show and he'd leave. And that you could wake him up in the dead of the night and it would be all right. You can wreck his plans. And that he can go raise some hell on any other night. However, that said, there are a couple of parties Bryan would prefer you didn't crash — his fishing and hunting parties. "Come crash it! Let's get it going," he said in a recent radio interview. "I don't have anything weird enough going on to not be crashed by a party. Well, unless I've got a good fishing trip or a good hunting trip planned." So it sounds like those are really Bryan's only caveats. Otherwise, it's always a drop everything kind of thing for him.

Yes on 522 - events and ways to get involved!
Slow Food Seattle has endorsed I-522, the campaign to label genetically modified foods. Here is some additional background on the campaign from the "Yes on 522" website:
A "yes" vote on 522 would give Washington shoppers more information about what's in their food and control over their shopping decisions. Under this initiative, genetically engineered foods to be labeled could include chips, cold cereals, soft drinks, candy, corn and soy. Our food is already labeled with abundant nutritional information including sugar, sodium, whether flavors are natural or artificial and if salmon is wild or farm-raised. Additionally, American companies are already required to label genetically engineered food in 64 other countries. They should provide the same information to American shoppers.
If you would like to learn more about, volunteer for or generally support this campaign, here are a few ways to do so!
Learn more at upcoming panel discussions, including one tomorrow, Saturday, September 7 at the Seattle Tilth Harvest Fair at 1pm. Slow Food Seattle's own Philip Lee will moderate a panel with Delana Jones (I-522 Campaign Manager), Matt McDermott (Seattle Tilth Farm Works), Sander Kallshian (Seatte Seed Company), Maria Hines, (Maria Hines Restaurants), Ariana Taylor-Stanley (Tilth Producers of Washington), Dr. Lucy Jarosz (UW School of Geography). Find more panel discussions in the calendar below.
Hold a "Kitchen Conversation" with friends to discuss the issue and and raise funds.
Attend a 522 fundraising event (see the calendar below and the Yes on 522 site for upcoming events).

Our friends at the UW Chapter of the Society for Ecological Restoration (SER-UW) and EarthCorps passed along word of a few volunteer work parties coming up to help restore Kincaid Ravine to a healthy and beautiful campus forest!
A 2.2-acre urban forest located in the northeast corner of campus, Kincaid Ravine is currently dominated by invasive species and deciduous trees that are coming to the end of their natural lifespan. It is a declining forest that is gradually losing the ability to perform important ecological functions.
As part of the process of restoring this forest to health, the first event of the quarter—organized by SER-UW—will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 15, along the Burke-Gilman Trail under the 45th Street Viaduct. You've probably walked or cycled through there countless times, and now you have a chance to get involved and remove some invasive plants. Tools, gloves and refreshments will be provided, so all you have to do is show up ready to dig in!
After this kick-off work party, EarthCorps has partnered with the UW Campus Sustainability Fund to line up five additional opportunities at Kincaid Ravine for the winter and spring quarters. Among the other key partners in this effort are Martha Moritz, a graduate student in Environmental Horticulture who is serving as the student project manager, and SEFS Professors Kern Ewing and Jim Fridley (as well as administrative support from UW Botanic Gardens).
As before, tools, gloves and refreshments will be provided for each event, but EarthCorps asks that you sign up beforehand if you're able to come.
Saturday, Feb. 22: EarthCorps work party from 10 a.m-2 p.m. Invasive plant removal. Sign up now!
Saturday, March 1: EarthCorps work party from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Planting and mulching. Sign up now!
Thursday, March 6: EarthCorps work party from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Invasive plant removal. Sign up now!
Saturday, March 15: EarthCorps work party from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. This will be the last work party in winter quarter. You'll be doing a lot of planting and mulching. Sign up now!
Saturday, April 19: EarthCorps Earth Day work party from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. to kick off spring quarter. Sign up now!
Learn more about the Kincaid Ravine restoration project, and please contact Yiyan Ge, volunteer coordinator, or Martha Moritz, student project manager, with any other questions.

Today would have been my Mom's 74th birthday:
It's been almost 11 years, Mom, and I miss you and think of you often.
We're all doing well. I think Dad is happy and has a lady who loves him and takes good care of him. I think you'd like her.
Sarah and Deb and Stacie are doing great, too, and I know you'd be crazy about your new great-grandson Justin. He's spoiled rotten already, thanks to me!
Nanny is well, although hardly able to get around anymore, thanks to her knees. Otherwise, she is quite healthy.
If you see a chubby calico cat carrying a little pink ball around, that's Leaky. Please give her a hug for me and tell her how much I love her and miss her, too. I'm sure she'll recognize you and will stay with you and Garfie and Silly. Give them a hug, too!
Love you and miss you so much!

Brooke Shaden Visual trips to places unseen
Brooke Shaden is a fine art photographer living and working in the Los Angeles area. Her passion lies in creating new worlds through photographs. Her vision extends beyond the realm of the camera, creating images that resemble paintings and speak of an era that is not our own. Each image is a story
Brooke works to create new worlds within her photographic frame. By using painterly techniques as well as the square format, traditional photographic properties are replaced by otherworldly elements. Brooke's photography questions the definition of what it means to be alive.

Jeffrey Hamelman's Recipe. Rye starter has a strong smell of bread and my boyfriend asked whether I was baking bread when the starter was fermenting (not even baking). I only kneaded the dough 10 times with three 10-minute rest, then had first fermentation for 30min. The dough had little strength even after the first fermentation. Due to the hot weather in Hong Kong, it only had 20-30min 2nd proof which was shorter than the recipe indicated (50-60min). Most flavor of this bread comes from the rye starter.
The bread has to be waited for 24hrs before cut to stabilize the crumb and develop flavor. I put it under room temperature for the first 24 hrs wrapped with linen, and put it in fridge wrapped with parchment paper for the next day as Hong Kong's humid and hot so I tried to avoid mold on it.
I love the taste of this bread, moist, mildly sour, mild taste of rye, and the crumb didn't feel crumbly even the dough didn't have much strength (I used Doves Farm Rye flour). It's an easy going rye bread and I know it's happy with my blue cheese.

From OpenWetWareJump to navigationJump to search
→To do on the day before the next lab:
You and your partner will return to the lab to make an overnight broth culture of one of the colonies that you are sure contains the gene of interest (determined from your visualization of successfully amplified, appropriately sized DNA seen on your gel photo). The sub-culture you will set up tonight will create many identical copies of bacteria that carry the plasmid containing your gene of interest.

#Find your LB+amp plate in the glass front refrigerator in a rack labeled with your lab day. Make sure there is some bacteria remaining on the plate of a colony that you saw successful gene amplification in the
pcr product.
#Begin by pouring ( DO NOT PUT A PIPET INTO THE STOCK LB!!) 10 ml of sterile LB broth from one of the stock containers in the refrigerator into a sterile orange-capped 15ml conical tube. You will use the volumetric marks on the tube for measuring the media rather than using a pipet. Make sure the LB stock does not look cloudy (indicating contamination by a previous user) and take care not to contaminate it yourself.
#Add 10 microliters of the 50mg/ml ampicillin stock (also found in the refrigerator). '''Calculate the effective concentration of ampicillin''' that you will have in your LB tube (remember V1 x C1= V2 x C2) and record that information in your lab notebook.
# Replace the cap of your LB +amp broth and invert the tube several times to mix the contents.
#Label two sterile glass culture tubes (found in a rack in the lab) with tape in your team color. Label one with " pL4440 and the gene name" and your initials. Label the other with your initials only .
 #Using a 5 or 10 ml sterile disposable pipet, pipet 4 ml of your working solution of LB+ampicillin broth into each of the 2 tubes. Be careful not to touch the tip to anything non-sterile.
#Inoculate the broth with your bacteria by using a sterile toothpick to scrape your candidate colony off the plate. Be sure not to touch the plate with the toothpick except on the desired colony and don't pick up any satellite colonies! Make sure the toothpick falls into the sterile broth. (The second tube of broth labeled with just your initials is a control and should not be inoculated with bacteria as it is your control for contamination.)

#Balance the 2 tubes across from each other on the rotating wheel in the incubator at the front of the room when you come in the door.
#Incubate these broth cultures at 37°C overnight. '''Do not forget to make sure the wheel is rotating when you leave!'''

Bingo needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 173 designs submitted by 55 freelance designers.
Will launch a new bingo website based on RevolutionTheme for WordPress (don't mind the colors...). I need a logo and possible extra graphics done in the future
I need a great new logo that mainly appeals to women, but also men. You have 440x110px (WxH) to be creative on
The logo should be clean and modern, so stay away from too much symbols. Some could be nice, too much is not...
The brand name is Bingorama, but using Bingorama.se is also fine.
The bingo market is predominantly female orientated although I
want to try steering from pink to other more vibrant, funky and
exciting colours to be web friendly with a clean and modern feel and look.
Delivered in PNG / PSD or vectorized format to use with Adobe products
