Although Romain Grosjean made it into Q3 for the first time this season, the Lotus driver says he had "higher hopes" than 10th.
The start of this season has been trying one for Lotus and their engine supplier Renault.
Slowly but surely the team has made progress and for the first time this weekend in China they got a car into Q3.
Grosjean booked his place in the qualifying shoot-out at a wet Shanghai circuit but could only manage the 10th fastest time.
And although a place in Q3 was good news for Lotus, the driver admits he had hoped for better.
Grosjean said: "It is good to be in Q3. We have made good progress this weekend.
"Things went better this morning than in qualifying this afternoon and so we had maybe even higher hopes.
"I'm not sure why we didn't feel as much performance this afternoon than in FP3.
"I also suffered with the tyres and the conditions change a little from this morning too but it has been a while since we've been in Q3!
"We are hoping for a good race for tomorrow and hopefully we can stay in the top ten."
But while it was a good afternoon for Grosjean, his team-mate Pastor Maldonado did not even take part in qualifying.
"The engine developed a leak this morning in FP3 and we had to change it," revealed Alan Permane, Lotus' trackside operations director.
"There was just no way we could get it changed over in time for qualifying this afternoon so unfortunately it meant he was unable to take part."

Someone makes a statement like that and you expect me to take him seriously? Get real. I'm more likely to believe he himself was smoking the hallucinogenic mushrooms. He sounds like a nutcase.

HEAD's revolutionary Flexpoint technology will be available this spring in a new line of squash racquets, designed to give players an unprecedented combination of strength and precision. With four racquets in two different head shapes, the 2006 line brings both power and control to players of all levels.
The Flexpoint 130, with its 500cm head size and weighing 130g, is the largest, most maneuverable racquet in the new line. Designed with a larger tear drop, this racquet is also the most powerful Flexpoint racquet available. For players looking for a little extra weight, the Flexpoint 150 is ideally designed with its headsize (500 cm). This power-type racquet is known for its ability to give a perfect feel of the ball, making it an extremely powerful tool.
Designed with top-level and tour players in mind, the new Flexpoint 140 and Flexpoint 160 feature the most popular racquet head shape available. The 140 offers an optimum feel that will put a player at the top of their game. For top players looking to take their game to the next level, the Flexpoint 160 offers the same specifications as the 140, but is slightly heavier and is a control-type racquet.
All four racquets incorporate the latest in HEAD racquet technology, including not only Flexpoint, but also Liquidmetal frame construction.
The features of Flexpoint technology can be seen on the racquet: two small holes located at the three o'clock and nine o'clock positions of the frame are cradled within dimples to create a precisely engineered "flexpoint" when the ball makes contact with the strings. Extensive laboratory tests showed that these two holes work together to control the power and add sectional flexibility. As a result of the dimples and control holes, flexibility of the racquet is increased by up to 50 percent, which produces control like never before, but without loss of power.
HEAD is dedicated to the worldwide growth of squash and supports the game on all levels. Tope-level pros all over the globe choose HEAD: David Palmer (3-time British Open Champion), Rachael Grinham (2004 British Open Champion) and Natalie Grinham.

Bloodborne Pathogens Exposure Control Plan
In today's world of AIDS, Hepatitis B, and other such diseases we must be careful. You cannot catch them by being near a person with the disease, but precautions must be taken because they are contracted through contact with contaminated bodily fluids, including blood, saliva, urine, feces, vomit, etc. The purpose of this exposure control plan is to:
- Eliminate or minimize employee occupational exposure to blood or certain other body fluids.
- Comply with the Cal/OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, CCR-T8 5193.
Infection Control Representative(s)
Infection Control Representative(s) must be selected to implement the exposure control plan. Claremont McKenna College (CMC) will use the Safety Coordinator named in the Illness and Injury Prevention Program, the Athletics Director and the Associate Dean of Students. These people will be responsible for implementing this plan and for enforcing it.
Exposure Control Plan
The Exposure Control Plan must be in written form, and updated annually, or as needed, taking into account all job classifications where people may be exposed to bloodborne pathogens. A copy of this plan must be made available to employees, their representatives, and Cal/OSHA, if requested. Supervisors will provide all of their employees with a copy during orientation, and also a copy to current employees.
Supervisors must determine the people who have a reasonable risk of exposure regardless of protective equipment. They must list both a) job classifications where all employees may be exposed and b) job classifications where some of the employees may be exposed and the situations in which exposure may occur.
Method Of Implementation:
o Compliance Methods
General/universal precautions will be taken to prevent contact with blood or other potentially infectious material. One of the most basic manners of prevention is careful engineering controls and work procedures and practices. Caution and common sense must always be used when around possibly infectious material.
Hand washing facilities will be made available to the employees who incur exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials. If hand-washing facilities are not feasible, employee should use antiseptic cleaner provided by employer.
Mouth pipetting and suctioning of blood (e.g., to cure snake bites), and other bodily fluids are not allowed.
o Contaminated Needles and Sharps
Contaminated needles and other sharps shall not be sheared or purposely broken. Cal/OSHA allows recapping, bending or removal of contaminated needles only when the procedure requires it and no alternative is feasible. If such action is required it must be done by the use of a mechanical device.
Contaminated sharps that are reusable are to be placed immediately, or as soon as possible, after use into appropriate containers. Containers must be puncture resistant, labeled with a biohazard label and leak proof.
o Work Area Restrictions
Food and drink are not allowed in areas that possibly contain infectious material.
Smoking is prohibited in all work areas.
Application of cosmetics, eye contacts, and removal of these things is also prohibited in areas that possibly contain infectious material.
Food and beverages are not to be kept in refrigerators, freezers, shelves, cabinets, counters or bench tops where blood or other potentially infectious materials are present.
o Specimens
Specimens of blood or other potentially infectious materials will be placed in a container, which prevents leakage during the collection, handling, storage, processing or transporting of the specimens.
The container for this use will be properly labeled.
o Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
The employer will provide any necessary personal protective equipment at no cost to the employee.
Each supervisor is responsible for ensuring that employees use such equipment.
Equipment includes, but is not limited to: gloves, lab coats, face shields or masks, other ventilation devices and shoe coverings. All PPE must fit the employee properly. Some people are allergic and the College must provide for their needs. This means, for example, that non-powdered gloves must be available in addition to the standard powdered ones.
The supervisor is also responsible for getting this equipment cleaned thoroughly and properly, and providing repairs and replacements as necessary.
Supervisors are responsible for training all their employees on the proper use of personal protective equipment.
All employees are required to use the employer-provided PPE when in a situation that might expose the employee to possibly infectious material.
o Housekeeping
Another basic precaution is cleaning the work area. Employees are in charge of this. Cleaning and decontaminating the work area must be scheduled regularly. This includes all equipment in the area.
Cleaning and decontaminating must also occur as soon as possible after contact with blood or other possibly infectious material. Protective coverings (plastic wrap, foil, etc.) should be replaced frequently.
Possibly contaminated glass should not be thrown away with regular garbage, but should be stored in secure and labeled containers and disposed of properly, as should all regulated waste. However, some times infectious material makes it into the garbage. That is why caution should be used when taking care of the garbage. For example, wear gloves and don't put a hand underneath to help carry the bag.
While it is unlikely that sharps, etc. are in the laundry, it is highly possible that clothes may have been splattered by infected material, and if you were to touch it directly, contact would occur. This is another situation where gloves are required.
Hepatitis B Vaccine and Post-Exposure Follow-Up
CMC shall make available the Hepatitis B vaccination series to all employees who have occupational exposure, and post-exposure follow-up to employees who have had an exposure incident. The infection control representatives shall ensure that the Hepatitis B vaccine and post exposure follow-up is:
- Made available at no cost to the employees.
- Made available to the employee at a reasonable time and place.
- Performed by or under the supervision of a licensed physician or under the supervision of another licensed healthcare professional.
- Proved according to the recommendations of the U.S. Public Health Service.
An accredited laboratory at no cost to the employee shall conduct all laboratory tests.
Hepatitis B Vaccinations
- Hepatitis B vaccinations shall be made available after the employee has received training in occupational exposure and within 10 working days of initial assignment.
- If an employee initially declines Hepatitis B vaccination but at a later date, while still covered under the standard decides to accept the vaccination, the vaccination shall then be made available.
- All employees who decline the Hepatitis B vaccination shall sign a Cal/OSHA required waiver indicating their refusal.
Post-Exposure Evaluation
All exposure incidents shall be reported, investigated and documented. When the employee incurs an exposure incident, it shall first be reported to their immediate supervisor.
Following the report of an exposure incident, the exposed employee shall immediately receive a confidential medical evaluation and follow-up, including at least two of the following:
- Documentation of the route of exposure and the circumstances under which the exposure incident occurred.
- Identification and documentation of the source individual, unless it can be established that the identification is infeasible or prohibited by State or local law.
- The source individual's blood shall be tested as soon as feasible and after consent has been obtained.
- When the source individual is already known to be infected with HBV or HIV, testing need not be repeated.
- Results of the source individual's testing shall be made available to the exposed employee, and the employee shall be informed of applicable laws and regulations concerning disclosure of the identity and infectious status of the source individual.
Information And Training
Each supervisor shall ensure that training is provided to the employee at the time of initial assignment to tasks where occupational exposure may occur. Said training shall be repeated every twelve months. The training will be interactive and cover the following elements:
- An accessible copy of the standard and explanation of its contents.
- A discussion of the epidemiology and symptoms of bloodborne diseases.
- An explanation of the modes of transmission of bloodborne pathogens.
- An explanation of the CMC Bloodborne Pathogen Exposure Control Plan.
- The recognition of tasks that may involve exposure.
- An explanation of the use and limitations of methods to reduce exposure.
- Information on the types, use, location, removal, handling, decontamination and disposal of PPEs.
- An explanation of the basis selection of PPEs.
- Information on the Hepatitis B vaccine.
- Information on the appropriate actions to take in an emergency involving blood or other bodily fluids.
- An explanation of the procedures to follow if an exposure incident occurs.
- In formation on the evaluation and follow-up required after an exposure incident.
- An explanation of the signs, labels and color-coding systems.
The person conducting the training shall be knowledgeable in the subject matter.
Additional training shall be provided to employees when there are any changes of tasks or procedures affecting the employees' occupational exposure.
Labels and Signs
As a method of informing and reminding, Biohazard labels are required in areas where exposure may occur and on containers containing possibly infectious material. Supervisors must make sure that their work area has the appropriate labels. Signs must have the Biohazard picture on them, the name of the infectious agent, specific requirements to enter the area, and the name and phone number of the responsible person. This information must be written in black or some other contrasting color on a fluorescent orange or red-orange background.
Each supervisor shall ensure that biohazard labels are affixed to containers of regulated waste, refrigerators and freezers containing blood or other potentially infectious materials.
Record Keeping
CMC is required to maintain strict records. This is to keep down our liability in the event of an incident, and to help us understand what has been done, who has been covered, where the most accidents occur, and other such information that we can use to make the campus safer for employees.
Accessibility to the records is of equal importance as maintaining them. Employees or a designated representative must have access to the records. Either CMC must provide copies for free to the employee (employee is understood to mean employee or a designated representative), or a copy machine must be easily accessible to the employee. X-ray access is allowed to be restricted, however. Due to the nature of the record, it is difficult to get duplicates. While the x-ray may be loaned out to the employee, it must be returned to CMC. A minimal fee, for searching and handling, may be charged for second requests, unless the request is for information that has been added since the last request, or if the requester is the employee's collective bargaining agent. Otherwise, only one request may be made for free. The employee does have total access for that first request.
o Medical Records
Medical records must all be kept confidential, to be given out only to those who have the permission of the employee. It is suggested, though not required, that a letter from the employee that states who is allowed access to the file be kept on file. These records must be kept throughout the duration of the employment, and an additional thirty years. If an employee works for less than a year, the record may be given to him upon termination of his employment from CMC. CMC would then be absolved of all record keeping requirements pertaining to this employee. The records shall include the following:
- The name and social security number of the employee.
- A copy of the employee's HBV vaccination status.
- A copy of all results of examination, medical testing and follow-up procedures.
- A copy of the information provided to the healthcare professional, including a description of the employee's duties as they relate to the exposure incident.
- A confidential copy of the healthcare professional opinion.
o Training Records
The supervisor is responsible for maintaining training records. Records pertaining to bloodborne pathogen exposure training must be kept for three years. The following information shall be documented:
- The dates of the training session.
- An outline describing the material presented.
- The names and qualifications of persons conducting the training.
- The names and job titles of all persons attending the training sessions.
o Exposure Records
Exposure records will be maintained in the Human Resources Office, along with medical records.
The Director of Human Resources must record all exposure incidents in the OSHA 300 log if a physician administers medical treatment, or if HIV or HBV is a direct result of the exposure.
All exposure records must be kept for thirty years, in addition to the duration of employment. Data about work area quality may be destroyed after one year, as long as the methods and results of the survey are kept the full thirty years.
MSDS's are strongly recommended to be kept for thirty years, but the minimum requirement is the identity of the agent, and when and where it was used.
A basic record of all exposure incidents (who, what, where, when) is the minimum requirement, and must be kept thirty years. Lastly, all analyses must be kept for thirty years.
Program Audits
It isn't enough to just have a plan; we must make regular checks to see that it is being followed. Certain things need to be assessed regularly, and corrected when necessary, to ensure the effectiveness of the program. These things include the need for and availability of engineering controls, the use and quality of personal protective equipment, and the use of proper work practices. The infection control representatives will conduct these audits semi-annually, and record their observations and any actions taken as a result of their discoveries.
Miscellaneous Issues
Companies that supply CMC with contract labor (i.e. outside companies that we pay to pave parking lots, remodel buildings, etc.) must likewise educate their employees. In other words, all people performing work on CMC's campus who may be exposed to bloodborne pathogens must have knowledge of them and be made aware of the vaccination program available. The person responsible for contracting with outside vendors must obtain a letter of commitment stating they have a bloodborne pathogen training program.

St. Louis, MO (Sports Network) - Russell Martin hit two of Pittsburgh's four home runs to back a second straight solid outing from Jeff Locke.
The Pirates left-hander held St. Louis to three singles over seven scoreless innings, as Pittsburgh beat the Cardinals, 9-0, in the rubber match of a three-game set at Busch Stadium.
Locke (3-1) picked up from where he left off in his previous starting assignment. He gave up only two hits in six frames of Tuesday's 2-0 win at Philadelphia.
Jose Tabata and Garrett Jones each launched solo homers for the Pirates, who improved to 14-5 in their last 19 games.
"We have power, we play good defense and the key is to be consistent and do it every day and we've been doing it every day," Martin said of his team's success. "The key is to just keep on doing what we're doing right now."
Shelby Miller (3-2) had seven strikeouts but surrendered three runs on seven hits and three walks in 5 2/3 innings for St. Louis, which lost its first series since dropping two of three to Arizona to begin the season.
"We had a tough time getting anything going. It was not the kind of day we were expecting," said Cardinals manager Mike Matheny.
Martin belted a solo shot to open the scoring in the second and his two-run blast capped a five-run ninth that included a two-run single by Pedro Alvarez.
Tabata took Miller deep with two outs in the fifth, and John McDonald greeted St. Louis reliever Fernando Salas in the next frame with a double that scored Brandon Inge.
Jones homered off Salas with two gone in the seventh.
Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle picked up his 700th career win ... The Pirates
have won 15 games in the first month of the season for the first time since
1992 ... Martin and Jones each had three hits ... Martin registered his
seventh career multi-homer game.

Grilled Chicken Wings (Drumsticks) w/ Tahini, Moro pg39
Principles be damned I bought Moro without road testing a library copy. Reading the introduction, my heart sank....two River Cafe alumni? Before serious buyers remorse could set in time to cook, even if it meant cheating a bit on the COTM starting gun. And oh my goodness, so far so wonderful. To whit this simple but tasty little chicken recipe.
It should be made with wings, but I had and therefore used smallish drumsticks, otherwise following the recipe exactly. Marinate the chicken in a garlic, paprika (sweet smoked Spanish), cumin, lemon juice, tahini, olive oil. Grill over charcoal (or bake or broil if preferred), using an indirect grilling method over charcoal these took around 1/r hour, slightly longer than the recipes 15 minutes, but then again these were drumsticks not wings. Serve with a tahini sauce composed of garlic, tahini, lemon water; delicious and unlike Susan Hoffman's this tahini sauce is stable. There were no leftovers.
re: qianning
Glad you liked this - it's on my list to try.
I have to ask though, what's wrong with River Cafe alumni?
re: greedygirl
Clearly nothing! However, the River Cafe cookbooks were great disappointments to me, and I was worried this might be true for Moro too. So far not at all.
re: qianning
I love the River Cafe books!
re: greedygirl
More power!
Seriously though I think my real problem with them is that when I first got them I was living in China and couldn't really get the right ingredients. But even once back in the States I never have taken to those books, just too austere for me I think. Sadly my cooking needs more leeway than The River Cafe recipes seem to permit.
re: qianning
I think you might want to go ahead and take the leeway you need. I have loved almost everything I've made from the two River Cafe books I have, and I think you could easily add more of one thing or less of another or sub things you prefer. It's a fairly Italian way of cooking to do that, so it shouldn't hurt at all. Like more garlic? Add it; like less hot pepper, leave it out. Worth a try, if you own the books already.
re: LulusMom
good points. it has been a while since i looked at those books, and even longer since i tried to cook from them, but anyway, we are really enjoying the food from Moro.
I think the other reason I was pre-maturely dismayed when I read that Clark & Clark were River Cafe alums was that for some reason Jaimie Oliver is another non-favorite around here. I really respect his approach to food, but his recipes/palette just don't work for me,
re: qianning
Grilled Chicken Wings w/ Tahini, Moro p39
Made these today to bring to a pot luck tonight. Some of my wings got a bit charred but the flavor is still outstanding. The tahini (my first time making it from scratch) is delectable and i have to keep grabbing my own hand away from it in fear that there will be none left to bring tonight. A keeper.
re: dkennedy
You made your own tahini? I am in awe!
re: qianning
It was easy. I think the recipe is on page 253. Sesame paste, garlic, lemon juice, and some water. Just got back from the pot luck and everything was a big hit.
re: qianning
Grilled Chicken Wings (Thighs) w Tahini – Moro - p. 39
I'll chime in to say that this was a huge hit for us as well. I made this w boneless, skinless thighs which we marinated overnight. We grilled over charcoal and loved the flavour of the chicken with and without the sauce. The chicken was incredibly juicy and this is a marinade that truly infuses the meat with flavour vs just coating it. I can imagine how terrific this would be w wings as well and when I prepare that way, I'm going to add some chili flakes to the marinade as we like our wings spicy and I think the tahini would be a wonderful foil for the heat.

Grilled Chicken Wings with Tahini, Moro, p. 39
This is really just a review of the marinade. Made these last night with drumsticks, which, lacking a grill, I baked in a cast iron skillet in my oven at 425 until done. I only had half a lemon, but I think this was actually the right amount of lemon to use. Also, I only had time to marinate the chicken for about 45 minutes, but it turned out fine. I think an even longer marinade would be phenomenal, and I'm sure this chicken would be great on the grill. I totally spaced on the sauce so we had the chicken without any extra sauce, but I think I will make the tahini sauce for the leftovers. This was easy and good, definitely goes on the "do again" list. Served with a simplified version of the saffron rice from the same book, and sauteed spinach with raisins and pinenuts from FOS. See vegetable/rice thread for reports on those dishes.
Plus I got the chance to use my new smoked paprika for the first time and just loved it. Will be looking for more opportunities to use this spice!
re: qianning
Here's the recipe, for those (like me) who don't have the book. I will definitely have to make these some day.
re: Caitlin McGrath
Thank you posting the link, Caitlin! I do not have Moro book and will make it soon - sounds delicious.
re: Caitlin McGrath
Yes, thanks Caitlin - I will be making these now as well. Sounds delish!
re: qianning
Grilled Chicken Wings with Tahini (I used the link in my earlier post)
I have to concur with everyone that this is really nice. I didn't make the tahini sauce, just used the tahini marinade on four (bone-in, skin-on) thighs, which I roasted on an oiled rack. Due to the exigencies of life, mine actually marinated for 2 1/2 days. I can't grill, but I would love to taste this done on the grill, as I think the flavor would be even better.
re: qianning
OK, I have these (the grilled chicken wings with tahini) on my list for next week. Quick question: I'm going to do them as thighs, which I see a few of you did. Did you make more of the marinade? If you were going to make something like 6 thighs would you make more? And for BC, I see you made yours with skinless/boneless thighs. I usually go for those (family doesn't like dealing with bones) *unless* i am grilling. But if you say they're worth doing and don't dry out, I'll do that to keep everyone happier.
re: LulusMom
From what I can remember, I did not use extra marinade. I think if I did I would have mentioned it in my post. I totally forgot about this chicken marinade! It was really good.
re: Westminstress
Do you think you used a comparable amount of chicken (to what the recipe asks for)? And thanks!
re: LulusMom
Yes, I think I figured my drumsticks were pound for pound about the same as the wings. Maybe two packs of them, but they were the organic free range ones, so definitely on the small side.
re: LulusMom
Can't remember exactly, but I think i made 4-5 drumsticks using the original recipe marinade proportions. Just a guess, but you're probably fine with the original proportions for 6 bone-less thighs. I do remember that I cooked my drumsticks (bone -in) using indirect heat method with a final browning over coals at the end. Not sure if that would be the way to go withe bone-less chix or not.
re: qianning
thank you so much for the info. I'm pretty excited to try this one.
re: LulusMom
Hope it goes well, and do report back!
re: qianning
I agree that the amount should be fine for 6 boneless thighs, but I realize I forgot to mention in my post on this that I added a drizzle of water to the marinade to loosen it up, because mine was a very thick paste. The water (just a couple teaspoons, I'd guess) made it easier to coat the chicken.
re: qianning
My turn on the grilled (baked) chicken wings (thighs) w/ Tahini. We all loved this. Our grill needs lava, so we had to roast. Roasted at 500 for about 30 minutes. I took the skin off bone-in thighs and let them marinate for about 36 hours. Wonderful flavor. I did make the additional tahini sauce and we liked it a lot with the ww pitas I served. I ended up doing 1/2 again as much marinade since i had 8 thighs - it was plenty.
Beetroot w/ Yoghurt, Moro pg. 40
These days there's nothing much special about beets with yogurt, but this version gets the job done just fine. The nigella seeds are a nice counterpoint to the other flavors; beet (roasted rather than boiled in my case), lemon, olive oil, parsley and garlic. And oh yes, strained yogurt.

Hot Chorizo with Butter Beans and Tomato Salad, p. 113 Moro Cookbook
Yum! Fantastic dish! Really, I can't say enough good things about this dish. Make it.
I wasn't sure how long to cook the frozen butter beans for, but I think I cooked them for far too long. I also should have salted the cooking water, but, that aside, the dish turned out great.
The recipe suggests it can be served warm or at room temperature. Given the choice, I'd opt for warm. This warm salad is comprised of butter beans, cherry tomatoes, red onions and a sherry vinaigrette. The salad is then topped with warm slices of cooking chorizo. I used two links of Don Juana brand Chorizo Bilbao and this chorizo is absolutely delicious on its own.
Again, make this dish!
re: dkennedy
Harira, p. 74 Moro Cookbook
Another thoroughly enjoyable meal thanks to the Moro Cookbook. This is a tart lentil soup flavored with everything from saffron to cinnamon. I had my doubts at the beginning but by the time the soup was ready to be served the flavors really came together. This would make a wonderful meal on a cold, rainy day. We had it for dinner, accompanied by another round of the Hot Chorizo with Butter Beans and Tomato Salad, this time I made it with broad beans. We finished the meal with a plate of dates and a hard Spanish cheese.
re: dkennedy
Hot Chorizo with Butter Beans and Tomato Salad, Moro, p. 113
Loved, loved, loved this dish. Did I say loved? Cooked butter beans are combined with halved cherry tomatoes, 1/2 red onion (I used a couple of shallots), quite a lot of chopped parsley, and sherry viniagrette. Then you crisp diced chorizo in a bit of olive oil and use that to top the salad. I just got this amazing new sherry vinegar made from Pedro Jimenez, and it is probably my favorite vinegar ever. It has a delightfully complex flavor with some sweetness like an aged balsamic, but not as sweet, and it is not too sharp. I added extra vinegar to the salad, and the combo of the vinegar with the tomatoes and chorizo and everything else was just fantastic. There was also a great textural contrast between the crispy chorizo, soft beans, and juicy tomatoes. So, like dk, I highly recommend this dish.
A couple of notes on ingredients. I had trouble sourcing the butter beans in any format and ended up using some really expensive jarred ones that I bought at a Spanish specialty store. After I bought them, I noticed that my local natural foods store has started stocking an Italian brand of canned beans that includes butter beans in the line-up - these were reasonably priced though not BPA-free if you care about that. Favas or large limas or even cannellini could stand in for the butter beans, but in this case I would use fresh, frozen or dried rather than canned. For the chorizo, I used a fully-cured chorizo that does not need to be cooked. I was happy with this choice, because it only took a minute to crisp up the outside, and I think the cooking chorizo would have had to be cooked for much longer.
re: Westminstress
I'm happy to read positive reports of this dish as I'm considering it for a small dinner party on Friday! I want some Pedro Ximinez vinegar now though!
Cecina con remolacha (Cecina with Beetroot and Almond Sauce) Moro p. 121
I'm a little late starting into this month's COTM, but this recipe was a great introduction. The authors suggest using young beets, but I used the very last of the larger ones we have from our CSA box. The beets are boiled until tender and then dressed with a sherry vinegar dressing (garlic, sherry vinegar, and olive oil). They're then topped with slices of cecina. I used bresaola instead which is a recommended substitute. An almond and sherry vinegar sauce is served on the side (ground almonds, water, white bread, garlic, olive oil, and sherry vinegar).
The flavors all worked very nicely together for me and it was something just a little bit different after so many winter beet recipes. My bf isn't crazy about beets, but liked this a lot because the meat and sauce balance the sweetness of the beets. The almond sauce is also very good, so I'm glad we have a bit leftover to go with the chicken we're making tonight.
After shopping with LN at Spanish Table, I was all excited to make something! Finally, last night I got a chance;
Last night was first menu from the COTM, and I made peppers stuffed with saffron rice in tomato sauce - page 287 in Food of Spain. Of course, I couldn't just follow the recipe and leave well enough alone.
I wanted an artichoke, so did one stuffed green pepper, and after steaming and cleaning out the choke, stuffed the artichoke with the rice mix too. It had a sauce of tomato, some smoked paprika and chicken stock. About 1/2 way through cooking, I had a thought, and put a couple of sliced yukon's down into the bubbling 'sauce' as well, to round things out. And I put just a bit of chopped Chorizo into the filling as well, for just a tad bit of protien and contrast.
turned out great! Mostly veggy dinner then. Ate 1/2 an artichoke and stuffing, some of the potato (which tasted like patatas bravas, in the sauce!), and 1/2 of the stuffed pepper. Leftovers for some lunch this week.
re: gingershelley
This looks and sounds delicious gs, thanks for this review, I've tabbed the recipe.
Carrot and Cumin Salad with Coriander - Moro, p. 41
I generally prefer raw carrots to cooked, but was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this salad. The mix of toasted cumin with garlic and cilantro offset the sweetness of the carrots nicely. To make, carrots are peeled and boiled whole in salted water until tender. I boiled for about 10 minutes. After draining and cooling, they are sliced quite thinly. 2/3 tsp toasted cumin seeds are pounded in a mortar and pestle and mixed with 1 garlic clove and 1/2 tsp salt. Then juice of 3/4 lemon, 1/3 tsp sugar, and 1 tbsp olive oil are mixed in. The carrots are tossed with the dressing and chopped cilantro. We still have another bag of carrots from our CSA box, so this recipe may be making a reappearance as the month goes on.
re: TxnInMtl
I like this even better with raw grated carrots. A good and easy recipe.I make it often.
re: TxnInMtl
made this dish this weekend with some "baby carrots" which didnt have a lot of flavor and it was very successful. Have to admit I added a bit of spanish sweet paprika, since similar recipes from wolfert et al have a bit more spicing complexity. anyway, we liked it even with these bland and inferior carrots.
I intend to try with raw carrots as well.

Whether your garden is formal or informal, the addition of an espalier, trained flat against a building wall or crisscrossed along a fence, is sure to be an eye-catcher.
An espalier is created by pruning a tree or shrub so that it grows in a single plane. The technique was used to grow grapes in ancient Greece and Rome and was later refined in the walled settlements of medieval Europe. With growing space at a premium, fruit trees were planted against the parapets and pruned flat. South- and west-facing walls heated by the Sun provided a warm microclimate that extended the growing season, giving the fruit more time to ripen. The open pruning allowed lots of sunlight to reach every part of the plant, enhancing fruit color and boosting yields.
Today, home gardeners have embraced espaliers as unique garden features. They are ideal for small garden spaces or patios where a tall plant is needed. Espaliers needn't be limited to walls and fences. They can be grown on wire frames and used as hedges, screens, garden dividers, or borders for paths. A single espaliered plant may be used instead of a garden ornament and displayed as a piece of living art.
There are an amazing number of plants that can be trained as espaliers. Consider flowering shrubs such as forsythia and upright cotoneaster; evergreens such as holly and yew; and tree fruits such as apples and pears.
Easy designs for beginning espalier enthusiasts are a fan or T-shape branch arrangement. More challenging designs include the basket weave, candelabra, and diamond motifs.
- Choose a small container plant with long, well-spaced branches.
- If grown against a building, provide a wire framework set 6 to 8 inches out from the wall.
- Once planted, remove branches that are not headed in the desired direction.
- Gently guide the remaining branches so that they will start to form the pattern you want.
- Secure branches to the wires with a soft tie.
It may take 2 or 3 years of training to create an espalier using a simple design and several years for one more complex. Don't despair if at first the plant doesn't seem to be cooperating. Espaliers, like some people, seem to have a way of shaping up when their back's up against the wall.

Friends with benefits.
In most places, that's a movie starring Mila Kunis, or a once-sly term for like-minded folks who are amorous without any long-term relationship intent.
In the Nashville music community, "friends with benefits" is a different deal.
We have friends, and we have benefits for them.
Because they get sick, or get hurt, and they need things they don't have, like doctors and medications.
I'm not going to argue the merits of ObamaCare or RomneyCare or any other care, mostly because I've devoted my studies to things like bluegrass and baseball and nuclear physics (more focus on the first two), and I have no expert opinion on how best to institute a process by which the sick and un-privileged gain the privilege of getting un-sick. Note to smart people: Please make this happen.
Also, neither Obama nor Romney nor any other leader-type has devised a fool-proof way to reward superior musical talents with superior wages. After appealing performances, musicians are often told by pleased audience members, "You're great. You should be famous." Which is kind of like being told, "You're tall. You should be good at chess."
And so in Nashville, there are dozens of tall folks who stink at chess, and plenty of world-class musicians with third-world-class medical options.
So, for our talented friends, we have benefits. And those benefits can be of great service. Sometimes they help sick friends get well.
Saturday night's Perry Baggs benefit won't help to do that. Perry was a friend to many of us, and he was a multi-instrumentalist, a singer and a songwriter. He was found dead at his home in Goodlettsville on the morning of July 12. He was 50.
He had diabetes, and his kidneys failed him, and he was on a dialysis program that was as debilitating as it was necessary.
He was broken, though not of spirit. And he was broke.
He was also a native Nashvillian, and among the finest rock 'n' roll drummers this town has known.
On Saturday, his friends are going to get together, play music and try to raise enough money for a proper burial.
Perry, who drummed with what a Rolling Stone reporter called "muscular, unrestrained zeal," wanted to be buried next to his beloved mother. And such a wish demands more money than was saved in a life of extraordinary music-making.
Perry was an original member of Jason and the Scorchers, a group that fused punk rock aggression with country soul and became Nashville's first crucial rock 'n' roll band.
"The Scorchers were a great punk band and a great rock band and a great country band, often in the same song," author and music critic Jimmy Guterman said. "They invented what we're now calling 'Americana.' "
Baggs first got together with Scorchers Jason Ringenberg, Warner Hodges and Jeff Johnson at Ringenberg's West Nashville home in 1981. Perry arrived with a humble drum kit and two sticks, and he broke one of the sticks in short order: He replaced it with a tree branch he found in Ringenberg's yard.
In Perry's hands, it was the most musical of tree branches.
"The four of us got together, and started with Carl Perkins' 'Gone, Gone, Gone' and it was an explosion of conflicting chemical components," Ringenberg once told me. "Right from the first verse, it was there."
With help from business-minded true believers Jack Emerson and Andy McLenon, the world soon heard what was there, and Perry got all the drumsticks he could break. The Scorchers toured the world, recorded for major labels and lived on what critic Anthony DeCurtis wrote was "that unspeakable rock 'n' roll borderline where chaos is transformed magically into art, and art splinters into chaos."
Perry Baggs was key to the chaos, and to the art. He drummed like a maniacal, Southern-reared, turbo-speed Ringo Starr . He provided genius-level high harmonies, and he co-wrote some of the Scorchers' best-loved songs: When the band played Conan O'Brien's television show, they chose the Baggs/Larry Napier-penned "White Lies" as their showcase tune.
With the Scorchers, Perry played sweaty clubs and airy amphitheaters. He shared bills with Bob Dylan and R.E.M. And he retained an endearingly bemused innocence.
Onstage, Perry was the embodiment of rock 'n' roll. Scorchers fans sometimes paused concerts with between-song chants of his name. Offstage, he was an aw-shucks type who for years held a no-limelight day job, working in the library at The Tennessean.
I had no idea about his newspaper gig until I applied for one of my own, in late 1999. At the time, I'd logged a lot of miles traveling to Scorchers shows from my home in South Carolina. I'd never spoken with Perry, but had spent hundreds of hours listening to his recordings and watching him onstage.
Walking across The Tennessean's newsroom for the first time, I saw a fellow in the library and said aloud to my soon-to-be boss, "That guy looks just like my favorite drummer."
Perry departed Jason and the Scorchers in 2002, when his health had gotten so poor that he couldn't tour. He could gig around Nashville, though, and I even got to play a show with him one time, when my pal Baker Maultsby hired Perry and I as the rhythm section in Baker's backing band. For one night, at the Exit/In, Perry made us sound like the Scorchers.
OK, almost.
In 2007, the Scorchers played the Exit/In to benefit Perry as he faced significant medical expenses. A year later, Perry joined the band onstage for a sweet swan song, playing Ryman Auditorium as the Scorchers received a lifetime achievement award from the Americana Music Association. (He also played drums that night during a post-awards show at Mercy Lounge.) "After last year's benefit show, for me, I cried on the way home," he said in 2008, just prior to the Ryman concert. "And I'm sure I'll cry about this, because I love these guys and I'm going to miss them."
Now, Perry Baggs has left the crying to others. And those who miss him will gather at the Exit/In on Saturday to cheer his memory and to toss some money into a pile that will allow Perry to rest beside his dear mother.
Because it's all we can do, damn it.

Conceived by Robert Lopez and Marx who wrote the music and lyrics, Avenue Q is a musical performed by actors who manipulate puppets, that explores the joys and tribulations of approaching adulthood. The show, originally directed by Jason Moore with the book written by Jeff Whitty, is loosely autobiographical to the creative team's lives. It was initially developed at the 2002 National Music Theatre Conference at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center and eventually made it to Off Broadway by The New Group and the Vineyard Theatre in 2003. After rave reviews and a successful run, Avenue Q made it's Broadway debut in July 2003. The production is the winner of numerous awards, including a Tony Award for Best Musical. After running for 2,534 performances on theater row, Avenue Q transfers yet again to New World Stages on West 50th street as it continues to attract audiences worldwide. Those who acquire Avenue Q tickets are sure to enjoy a delightful experience in the theater.
Avenue Q Uses Puppets to Get the Point Across
Avenue Q in a Nutshell Avenue Q only ran on Broadway for six years (it's currently showing in NYC and other cities in off-Broadway venues), a short stint compared to shows like Cats, Phantom of the Opera and The Lion King, yet it's still regarded as a coming-of-age production and a modern Broadway classic.

SAR analysis of small molecule antagonists of the APJ receptor via a luminescent beta-arrestin assay - Set 3
Currently there are no small molecule tools to investigate the biological functions of apelin and its receptor. Apelin is the endogenous peptide ligand for the G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) APJ (angiotensin II receptor-like 1, AGTRL-1 and APLNR). Until the discovery of apelin, APJ was an orphan GPCR. APJ is coupled to Gai, and has been shown in cell culture to inhibit adenylate cyclase. The more ..

Currently there are no small molecule tools to investigate the biological functions of apelin and its receptor. Apelin is the endogenous peptide ligand for the G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) APJ (angiotensin II receptor-like 1, AGTRL-1 and APLNR). Until the discovery of apelin, APJ was an orphan GPCR. APJ is coupled to Gai, and has been shown in cell culture to inhibit adenylate cyclase. The APJ gene encodes a receptor that most closely resembles the angiotensin receptor AT1. However, the APJ receptor does not bind angiotensin II. Underscoring the emerging importance of the apelin/APJ system, recent studies have shown that apelin reduces the extent of atherosclerotic lesions in ApoE-/- mice, and opposes the development of abdominal aortic aneurysms. Additional research has revealed that APJ forms a heterodimer with the Ang II receptor AT1, and that this complex facilitates antagonism of Ang II signaling by apelin. Despite these exciting results, there remains a multitude of unanswered questions regarding the role of apelin and APJ in physiology and pathology.
The project goal is to identify a chemical probe of apelin receptor function that transiently and reversibly activates the receptor. An antagonist or inhibitor receptor activation would provide a novel research tool to evaluate the role of apelin in cardiovascular and metabolic disease pathology.
In this description we utilize enzyme-fragment complementation to directly measure GPCR activation. Unlike imaging or other second messenger assays, the DiscoveRx b-Arrestin assay allows for a direct measure of GPCR activation by detection of b-Arrestin binding to the APJ receptor. In this system, b-Arrestin is fused to an N-terminal deletion mutant of b-gal (termed the enzyme acceptor of EA) and the GPCR of interest is fused to a smaller (42 amino acids), weakly complementing fragment termed ProLink. In cells that stably express these fusion proteins, ligand stimulation results in the interaction of b-Arrestin and the Prolink-tagged GPCR, forcing the complementation of the two b-gal fragments and resulting in the formation of a functional enzyme that converts substrate to detectable signal. Antagonists would be expected to inhibit agonist activation of the receptor resulting in the inhibition of signal formation in this assay.
This assay has been developed and performed to confirm hits originally identified in "uHTS identification of small molecule antagonists of the APJ receptor via a luminescent beta-arrestin assay" (AID 2521) and to study the structure-activity relationship on analogs of the confirmed hits. Compounds are either acquired from commercial sources or synthesized internally.

Compounds with IC50_Mean < 20 uM are defined as "active" in this assay.
To simplify the distinction between the inactives of the primary screen and of the confirmatory screening stage, the Tiered Activity Scoring System was developed and implemented. Its utilization for the assay is described below.
Activity Scoring
Activity scoring rules were devised to take into consideration compound efficacy, its potential interference with the assay and the screening stage that the data was obtained. Details of the Scoring System will be published elsewhere. Briefly, the outline of the scoring system utilized for the assay is as follows:
1) First tier (0-40 range) is reserved for primary screening data and is not applicable in this assay.
2) Second tier (41-80 range) is reserved for dose-response confirmation data and is not applicable in this assay.
3) Third tier (81-100 range) is reserved for resynthesized true positives and their analogues.
a. Inactive compounds of the confirmatory stage are assigned a score value equal 81.
b. The score is linearly correlated with a compound potency and, in addition, provides a measure of the likelihood that the compound is not an artifact based on the available information.
c. The Hill coefficient is taken as a measure of compound behavior in the assay via an additional scaling factor QC:
QC = 2.6*[exp(-0.5*nH^2) - exp(-1.5*nH^2)]
This empirical factor prorates the likelihood of target-specific compound effect vs. its non-specific behavior in the assay. This factor is based on expectation that a compound with a single mode of action that achieved equilibrium in this assay demonstrates the Hill coefficient value of 1. Compounds deviating from that behavior are penalized proportionally to the degree of their deviation.
d. Summary equation that takes into account the items discussed above is
Score = 82 + 3*(pIC50 - 3)*QC
where pIC50 is a negative log(10) of the IC50 value expressed in mole/L concentration units. This equation results in the Score values above 85 for compounds that demonstrate high potency and predictable behavior. Compounds that are inactive in the assay or whose concentration-dependent behavior are likely to be an artifact of that assay will generally have lower Score values.

Waste Site Cleanup & Reuse in New England
Transforming a Brownfields Industrial site into Affordable Housing in Olneyville-Narragansett Landing
Success in EPA Brownfields Assessment Demonstration Pilot Program
City of Providence , Rhode Island
(September 7, 2005)
Creating a New Neighborhood
Narragansett Landing is a 280-acre site along Providence River currently occupied by industrial uses, including bulk fuel storage, shipbuilding, and sewage treatment. By the late 1990's, city officials had recognized that these uses were outmoded and that the land should be redeveloped.
A plan developed by the city in 2000 called for Narragansett Landing to be transformed into a completely new neighborhood: a mixed-use district that would include housing, office buildings and a series of waterfront parks. This ambitious plan acknowledged that there was a considerable amount of contaminated land, owing to over a century of industrial uses. This land would have to be assessed and cleaned up for the plan to become a reality.
In an effort to evaluate the extent of the environmental contamination of the study area, the city applied to the Environmental Protection Agency for funding under the Brownfields Assessment Demonstration Pilot program. In May of 2000, the city was awarded $250,000 to conduct environmental assessments at this site. Physical sampling was conducted during the summer of 2002 by GZA GeoEnvironmental, Inc., under contract with the City. GZA's report, prepared in early 2003, revealed that least 20 percent of the parcels of land have had releases of hazardous material or oil.
Assessment of contamination in Narragansett Landing has been critical to moving forward with redevelopment. This is an area with very difficult obstacles to redevelopment: much of it lies in the floodplain, with many businesses that would have to be relocated, compounded by the presence of environmental contamination. Completion of this assessment has given the city and prospective developers important information that will make redevelopment a less risky prospect.
Revitalizing a Distressed Neighborhood
Upstream from Narragansett Landing along the Woonasquatucket River is Olneyville, perhaps the most distressed neighborhood in Providence. It shares with Narragansett Landing considerable environmental blight owing to its past industrial uses. It is also suffering from a housing crunch as home prices have skyrocketed in the past several years. The City has recently been focusing resources to revitalize Olneyville by developing green space, improving the public infrastructure, and encouraging development of market-rate and affordable housing. Towards this end, the City used $80,000 of the EPA grant to conduct an environmental assessment at three city-owned parcels of formerly industrial land in Olneyville. These sites were chosen for their strategic location adjacent to the Riverside Mills brownfield site. Riverside Mills is being cleaned up and transformed into Riverside Park, one of several parks connected by the Woonasquatucket River Greenway. Funding for the redevelopment of the park was secured through Providence's designation as a Brownfields Showcase Community. For the park to be successful the city's plan calls for housing nearby. As such, the three parcels chosen for assessment, along with several other vacant lots in the vicinity, have been designated for housing.
The City had GZA conduct Phase I and Phase II environmental assessments of the three Olneyville lots in 2004. The assessment of the site revealed concentrations of metals, PAHs and TPHs that exceed state limits. The investigation also discovered a 10,000-gallon underground storage tank. The City designated the Olneyville Housing Corporation (OHC) as developer for the parcels. Providence's planning department worked closely with OHC and GZA to develop a site plan and a remedial action work plan to assure that redevelopment of the site eliminates environmental risk to its future inhabitants. The resulting plan calls for more than 20 units of affordable housing on the site, featuring panoramic views of the river and the new park.
The Brownfields Assessment grant enabled the city and the Olneyville Housing Corporation (OHC) to leverage $200,000 in environmental cleanup funding, and nearly $4,000,000 in grants and low-interest loans for affordable housing development. Further, Providence's planning department has guided OHC through an expedited site plan review process before the planning commission. This will enable the corporation to break ground in the spring, with an anticipated move-in date of early 2006.
Providence is the second largest city in New England with a population of 173,618. The majority of the City's population is minority for the first time, with ten neighborhoods comprising more than 60% minority populations. Olneyville, the target area, is 0.55 square miles. The population is comprised of 2,228 households, consisting of: 57.4% Hispanic, 22.0% White, 10.0% Black/African American, 7.1% Asian or Pacific Islander, and 0.9% Native American, with 41% families below the poverty level.

A nature scene. Late summer. A small lake in the woods. No people. Silence.
Not far away, a newly built house inhabited by a couple: Robert (Andreas Lust) and Susanne (Ursula Strauss). They live an ordinary life like so many other people.
Meanwhile in Vienna. Nightlife, red light district, the world of prostitution. Here money rules. Most people have jobs that barely let them scrape by. Like Alex and Tamara (Johannes Krisch and Irina Potapenko). She is a prostitute from Ukraine; he, the boss' errand boy. They are lovers, but they have to keep it a secret. Employees aren't allowed to engage in amorous relations.
They want to escape this life, but they need money first. Alex devises a plan to rob a bank in a little village out in the countryside. Tamara wants to come along, and he reluctantly agrees. Everything is going exactly as planned until a policeman happens to walk up: Robert. He fires a few shots at the getaway car as it speeds off and hits the young woman.
Overcome with despair, Alex leaves the body behind in a forest clearing.
He lies low at his grandfather's place. The old man lives on a desolate farm at the edge of the woods. Silent and withdrawn, Alex begins the task of chopping the firewood for the approaching winter. He is consumed with pain, grief, and the hate he harbors for the man responsible for Tamara's death.
A lake in the woods, this is where Robert goes to be alone. Now he comes here to try to sort out what happened. Alex observes the policeman, spies on him, follows him as he goes about his daily routine. And he meets Susanne, the policeman's wife.
The lives of all these people will change as a result of Tamara's death – more radically than they suspect. And autumn comes, just like every year.
The cast includes Michael-Joachim Heiss, Johannes Krisch, Andreas Lust, Irina Potapenko, Ursula Strauss and Johannes Thanheiser.

Dear Sen. Long:
You openly admit that as leader of the Indiana Senate, you are in fact "holding up" SB 230 (nullification of Obamacare). You are thereby effectively denying your colleagues and the people of Indiana opportunity to give it the full, fair and sober debate that it deserves. Deny all you wish that by doing so you are choosing to "side with Obama" and "support Obamacare." But actions speak louder than words, sir, and ultimately, voters will draw their own conclusions.
You say SB 230's "fatal problem" is that it's unconstitutional because the high court upheld Obamacare. But many — including Jefferson and Madison — would argue that you are dead wrong in that assessment. I wonder just how flagrant a violation of the Constitution the (Supreme Court) would have to "dubiously" sanction before you would reconsider your commitment to a posture of anticipatory capitulation on the prospect of nullification. Is there any scenario under which you wouldn't simply acquiesce to the opinion of a mere handful of high justices? Are they infallible?
Grave discussion on exercising the principles of federalism as a valid, formidable, remaining check against the persistent overreach of the central government has never been more imperative. Hoosiers: Nullify now.

You side steped my argument will you allow me the same
and actuallly you poingt is mute player have a very finite carear they need to go where they can get the most casy NY is best because the yANKS SPEND MONEY! a SALRY CAP is needed to ensure comepetion not socialismand i find that funny you live in ny one of the bggest blue states around and say you hate socialism
goddamn it hit the wrong butoon
Okay the Yankees make the most money, they have the highest home AND road attendance in baseball, and they have the most fans - not to mention, ingenius owners as well. While other teams, like the Pirates, pocket their money and continue to suck, the Yankee organization reinvested the money BACK into the team. Why penalize them for that? What are they going to do - regulate the amount of Yankees fans there are in the world? It's ridiculous. People only like the salary cap because they root for teams that don't win. I don't get it. Competition is fine the way it is. Big-money free agents do NOT guarantee championships. The Yanks won the WS in 2000, D-Backs in 01, Angels in 02, the Marlins in 03, the Red Sox in 04, White Sox in 05, Cardinals in 06, Red Sox in 07, Phillies in 08, Yanks in 09, and Giants in 2010. That's competitoin. And for your information, I don't identify with a party specifically, but I'd say I have more conservative beliefs. It doesn't matter where I'm from: I was raised knowing what the Founding Fathers intended for this country.
The Red Sox actually had a higher payroll than the Yankees during the offseason. The whole salary cap thing is ridiculous. The Yankees don't "buy" all their players, and they don't "buy" their championships either. Home grown Yankees: Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada,Robinson Cano, Phil Hughes, Joba Chamberlain, David Robertson, Brett Gardner, etc. They TRADED for Curtis Granderson, Nick Swisher, Boone Logan. Sure, they sign people. So do all teams. The Yankees just sign the best guys because people want to come to NY because it's a place where there is always a chance of winning. Even so, basbeall is unpredictable. Look who won the World Series last year. No one would have expected that. Expensive players do not always translate to championships. The competition in baseball is great the way it is now. The Yankees make the money, and they spend it. That's America. Salary caps offend me because I hate socialism.
It may not get them the title but it does offer an advatage
look above for my reply
Ohhh okay...but what about teams that have greater attendance than other teams? They've got the advantage of fans cheering them on, while other teams play in front of relatively-empty crowds. It doesn't guarantee them the title, but you know - it may offer an advantage. So why not regulate the amount of fans at each game? Because it's unfair that some teams have more than others. And then what about teams with really good Minor League systems? They have the advantage over teams that have weaker talent down there. It doesn't guarantee they will win, but it's still unfair that they might have an advantage, so I guess Minor League talent should be regulated as well... I mean really. REALLY? Regulation does not create competition. Free-market does, because it gives people something to work for, something to strive for, someone to be better than. I don't know what team you are a fan of, but just stop being jealous of the Yankees for stupid reasons.
The Yankees at least spend money to win games! If anything, Revenue Sharing is the reason why there is no competition in baseball! Look at the Oakland A's ownership group. The fourth wealthiest in all of baseball. You would think that they would spend the money on players and get fans to support the team. They don't do that while at the same time collecting on the Yankees piece of the pot (like every other bottom feeder in baseball), while at the same time bashing a fan base and threatening to move the team. There's no need for a cap... NONE! But if you got rid of revenue sharing then owners would actually be forced to spend money in order to make it instead of having owners who want to win do it for you!

The Metropolitan Opera: Le Comte Ory Encore
NCM Fathom presents an encore performance of Rossini's Le Comte Ory in select theatres on Wednesday, April 27, 2011 at 6:30 PM in all time zones. Rossini's vocally dazzling comedy stars bel canto sensation Juan Diego Flórez in the title role of this Met premiere production. He vies with mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato, in the trouser role of Isolier, for the love of the lonely Countess Adèle, sung by soprano Diana Damrau. Bartlett Sher, director of the Met's hit productions of The Barber of Seville and The Tales of Hoffmann, describes the world of the opera as, "a place where love is dangerous. People get hurt. That can be very funny and very painful. Rossini captures both-with the most beautiful love music Rossini ever wrote."
