The way the Twins season is starting out, I figured we needed a little NON-Twins baseball humor to distract us..
(be sure to click the link to go to the original post and get the "secret message")
With Thursday night's announcement that Chris Herrmann would be heading north with the Minnesota Twins, their opening day roster appears to be set. The back up catcher spot was the final unresolved question of the spring.
A lot is made of the make up of the Twins' roster as they open the 2015 season, but it really is of just mild interest to me, personally.
Yes, I like to see a guy like Herrmann rewarded for his hard work and persistence and JR Graham's story as a Rule 5 pick up earning a spot in the bullpen is compelling.
But I'm a lot more curious, already, as to what the Twins roster will look like come mid to late July than I am concerning what it looks like when they travel to Detroit to open the season. And I suspect there will be at least a 33% turnover in the roster by the end of July.
That would be eight or nine spots on the 25-man roster that would be held down by someone not making the trip north out of spring training with the Twins – and I think that sounds about right. In fact, I could see the turnover being more than that.
I'm not making that prediction based purely on an expectation that the Twins will be clearly en route to a fifth straight 90+ loss season and find themselves in sell-off mode. In fact, I'm probably more optimistic about the Twins' chances of remaining competitive beyond the All-Star break than I've been in a couple of years.
I think that, if they stay healthy, this line up will score plenty of runs and I think a lot of people are underestimating how improved the starting rotation may be with the addition of Ervin Santana and a healthier Ricky Nolasco.
My belief in the likelihood of significant turnover comes not so much from a lack of confidence in the team as initially constituted (though I do worry about that bullpen), but from a sense that there are simply so many talented young players at the higher levels of the organization minor leagues that are almost certain to force their way on to the Twins roster by mid-season.
To start with, if Josmil Pinto is healthy and still in the Twins organization, I have little doubt he'll be wearing a Twins uniform by July.
Beyond that, does anyone not believe that Alex Meyer, Trevor May, Nick Burdi and Jake Reed will be pitching for the Twins by mid-year if they come out of the gate strong in their respective minor league assignments? Those are four pitchers that you could make an argument for putting on the roster right now. You might even be tempted to put Jose Berrios on that list, though I suspect he may be held down on the farm at least until later in the season.
Even if any/all of those arms fail to impress during the season's first half, that doesn't mean that all of the arms that are making up the Twins' opening day pitching staff are likely to have performed well enough to keep their jobs. This pitching staff (especially among the relief corps), as initially constituted, is simply not strong enough to avoid the need for a significant make-over, whether via promotions or trades (or, perhaps most likely, some combination thereof).
And we haven't even mentioned the organization's consensus top pair of prospects, Miguel Sano and Byron Buxton. If they manage to shake off the rust that resulted from lost seasons a summer ago (and which clearly still existed during spring training), I expect they will both be Minnesota Twins by mid season. They could easily be joined by Eddie Rosario and, of course, nobody would be at all surprised to see Aaron Hicks rejoin the big league club.
In addition to the prospects that have become familiar to much of the Twins' fan base, the AA Chattanooga Lookouts' everyday line up is going to be literally full of players that are only a hot start and the ability to play a defensive position of need away from being called up.
What it all means is that the Twins roster in July, August and September should include far more players that are likely to be part of the next generation of Twins capable of contending for future postseasons than the roster we are discussing in April.
It's not easy being patient, but most of these young players will benefit from getting a little more minor league seasoning. The good news is that we are no longer talking about it being several years before we see these promising prospects at Target Field, but, hopefully, merely several weeks.
I've been down here in Fort Myers, Florida, for several days now and I've been very slow about posting anything here. My bad.
The newly remodeled stadium at the Twins' complex (now named "Century Link Field") is very nice. Much wider concourses and a lot of variety of seating options. I've seen parts of a couple games at the new place, as well as a game against the Phillies at their Clearwater home. I plan to also see the Twins take on the Orioles up in Sarasota on Sunday.
But I've spent the lion's share of my time over on the back fields watching the minor leaguers, in particular the two Class A groups. One of them made up of guys who were Cedar Rapids Kernels last year and are likely to play for the Fort Myers Miracle this season, the other made up of players likely ticketed to start this season in Cedar Rapids.
I've taken quite a few pictures and maybe I'll work at getting them downloaded and posted here once I get back to Cedar Rapids next week.
For now, I'm going to share three separate articles I wrote for MetroSportsReport.com in Cedar Rapids. Since I don't have space concerns here, I'm just going to combine them all in this one blog post. Enjoy.
Gonsalves Will Have a New Pitch When He Returns to Cedar Rapids
Ask Minnesota Twins pitching prospect Stephen Gonsalves about his offseason and the first thing he may mention is his vacation to Australia with fellow Twins pitching prospects Lewis Thorpe and Sam Gibbons.
"It was Sam's 21st birthday so we made a little vacation out of it," Gonsalves explained on Friday, while watching his Cedar Rapids Kernels teammates take on a group of Tampa Bay Rays Class A prospects.
But hanging out with Aussies Thorpe and Gibbons down-under for a couple of weeks was just one small part of Gonsalves' winter.
The 20-year-old lefty starting pitcher played a crucial role in the playoff drive the Kernels put together during the second half of the 2014 season. He notched a 3.19 Earned Run Average while striking out 44 batters in just 36.2 innings of work over eight starts with Cedar Rapids.
Some young pitchers might have felt satisfied with those numbers and focused their offseason workouts on simply adding some muscle or improving their conditioning, but not Gonsalves.
The young Californian combined a 90 mph fastball with an effective slow curve and an equally effective change up to solidify his ranking as a consensus top 20 prospect within the Twins' organization heading in to 2015.
Rather than being satisfied with that, Gonsalves went home after participating in fall instructional league and went to work on broadening his arsenal of pitching weapons.
"Right after instructs, I went home and started working out that next week," Gonsalves said.
"Home" for Gonsalves is San Diego, California, and he wasn't working out alone there. He worked out with a couple of other well-credentialed pitchers with San Diego ties.
"I was able to work out with Stephen Strasburg this whole offseason, got to pick his brain a lot," Gonsalves recalled. "James Shields was there, also. So I got to mix in a lot with those guys and kind of pick their brains the entire offseason. Helped me out a little mechanically on the hill, also."
Strasburg and Shields were both rotation leaders for Major League postseason participants last year, Strasburg with the Washington Nationals and Shields with the Kansas City Royals. Shields inked a new deal as a free agent this offseason with the San Diego Padres.
"I was working on a slider," said Gonsalves. "That's what Shields is known for, his slider, so I got to work with him for about a month just specifically on that pitch for a while. It's coming along nicely. The Twins are starting to like it."
So far this spring, the results seem to be positive. He's been in Ft. Myers since March 1, well before the minor leaguers began playing games. He's made three solid appearances, building up his pitch count and getting ready to head north to Cedar Rapids when camp breaks the first full week of April.
Gonsalves acknowledged that he's likely to be one of just a small number of 2014 Kernels returning to open the new campaign in Cedar Rapids, but he's looking forward to opening the year with the new crew of Kernels.
"We're going to have a whole new team, pretty much, (but) we're going to have a good little squad together. It's going to be fun. We're going to be a little scrappy team."
Chad Christensen Hoping His Time Playing Before Hometown Fans is Over
Almost a year ago, Cedar Rapids Washington grad Chad Christensen got the word he would be making his full-season pro baseball debut with his hometown club, the Cedar Rapids Kernels. This spring, the Minnesota Twins farm hand is hoping to avoid a return trip to Cedar Rapids.
You can't blame a guy for preferring a promotion up the Twins' minor league ladder over another summer living at home.
In fact, hitting .272 for the Kernels last season,Christensen left Cedar Rapids, just like his Kernels teammates.
"I went back to Lincoln and lived there," Christensen explained. "A lot of guys that are in pro ball are back there so we kind ofwork out together and use the (University of Nebraska) facilities andeverything. That's where I was doing my workouts.
"I came home (to Cedar Rapids) for a couple of weeks before I came here (Fort Myers). I got down here a little early, February 23rd, to get outside, get out of the cold and get back to baseball."
With about two weeks of spring training left, his ultimate assignment is primarily just speculation, at this point, but every player in camp is hoping for a promotion and, for Christensen, that would mean a spot on the roster of the Twins' class high-A affiliate, the Fort Myers Miracle.
"I'm not positive," Christensen said, when asked about whether he'd heard anything about where he would open the 2015 season. "I would think probably down here (in Fort Myers). But I'm just playing, it's not up tome. I'm just trying to play every day and stay healthy and get back in the swing of things."
For Christensen, playing every day last summer meant spending time playing all around the diamond defensively for the Kernels. Christensen played all over the outfield, but also logged 90 games at firstbase. He also played 27 games at third base for Elizabethton in 2013.
Versatility is a benefit for players trying to get noticed in a professional baseball organization and Christensen will be continuing to demonstrate his willingness and ability to move around the field. During spring training, however, it's clear the Twins are wanting to see him in the outfield as much as possible.
"I've been playing all outfield – all three outfield spots,"said Christensen. "Obviously, if I'm needed to go in to the infield again, Ican go in the infield, but I've been in the outfield down here, so far."
An assignment with the Miracle would keep Christensen with alot of last summer's Kernels. Of the thirty or so players currently listed onthe Miracle's spring training roster, over 25 spent time in Cedar Rapids last season. Christensen likes the idea of sticking with that group.
"Yeah, we have a good group. Guys come ready to go every day, that's what makes it fun," said Christensen. "We're looking forward to getting the season going."
Christensen isn't the only one ready to get the season rolling. Kernels hitting coach Tommy Watkins indicated he is more than ready to head to Cedar Rapids. "This is like Groundhog Day," Watkins said, alluding to the day-after-day repetitive nature of the spring training routine.
Christensen indicated the players are starting to feel the same way.
"Yeah, we're starting to get kind of anxious this time of year."
Jake Mauer Hopes to Have His Roster Set Soon
In less than two weeks, Cedar Rapids Kernels manager Jake Mauer will be bringing a fresh crop of 25 ballplayers north from their spring training home in Fort Myers, Florida. The exact constitution of that roster, however, is still somewhat of work in progress.
Mauer said he'd like to get things finalized soon, however.
"Ideally we'd like to have who we're going to take to Cedar Rapids that last week of spring training," Mauer explained on Thursday, just before his squad took on a Class A group of Boston Red Sox prospects.
"You can do different things and put in different signs, things we're going to use throughout the year. Make sure we get all the kinks out before we start up there at Kane County (where the Kernels open their season on April 9)."
Mauer will be entering his third season as manager of the Kernels. In fact, among all of the Twins organization's full-season teams, he's the only manager assigned to the same club he led a year ago.
The Twins hired Hall of Famer Paul Molitor to manage the big league team this season and former Chicago Cubs manager Mike Quade is taking over the AAA Rochester Red Wings. Jeff Smith and Doug Mientkiewicz swapped their assignments this year, with Mientkiewicz managing AA Chattanooga and Smith taking over high-A Fort Myers.
Mauer indicated, though, that he wasn't surprised to be assigned to Cedar Rapids again.
"No, I wouldn't say surprised," he said. "Obviously, Cedar Rapids is a pretty good fit for me on a personal level, family-wise. Professional-wise, baseball is baseball, wherever you're at and at the level I'm at, I really enjoy being around the young guys and teaching every day."
Kernels fans may recognize the team's manager this season, but they are going to want to pick up a program early on their first trip to the ballpark and study it closely, because they aren't likely to see many familiar names or faces among the 2015 Kernels players
Starting pitchers Stephen Gonsalves and Mat Batts are looking likely to return to start their new season with the Kernels and both have been, "throwing it well," according to their manager.
John Curtiss, who joined the Kernels to make a start during their playoff run a year ago, is also likely to start his summer with the Kernels.
"As far as those starters, folks in CR have seen those guys a little bit, but our bullpen is going to be pretty much all new guys from what it looks like," Mauer said.
"As far as position players, I don't think we'll have too many guys that were there last year. Maybe a few guys that were there for a portion of the year, we may get back," he added.
Outfielders Zack Larson and Max Murphy are the only position players with time in a Kernels uniform who have been assigned to the most recent Kernels spring training working group.
Mauer was quick to point out that the roster is not set, however.
"It will depend with, obviously Molitor running the big league club, who he likes, who he wants to keep."
The parent Twins are still about 10 players over their opening day roster limit, so as the big club makes further cuts, there could be additions and/or subtractions from the current group of prospective Kernels.
Once the season gets underway, Mauer indicated he felt the team may be relying on their starting pitching early on.
"I think we'll have some starting pitchers with a little bit of experience that I think we'll lean on, especially early in the year. They'll need to go out there and set the tone."
Offensively, the Kernels are going to be relying on a lot of players with little or no experience above rookie-level short season ball at Elizabethton last season.
"We're still trying to kind of get to know these guys a little bit," Mauer said, of his position players. "As far as team speed, I don't know if we're going to have a lot of it. We're going to have some guys that put up decent numbers in E'Town. Obviously, we all know it's different going in to the Midwest League, facing a little different caliber of pitching."
A number of players are having strong springs, but Mauer was philosophical about his expectations for the Kernels once they leave the mid-80 degree temperatures of Fort Myers behind and head north.
"We may go through some growing pains, but hopefully it'll all shake out. We'll see how we react when it's thirty degrees out."

Almost exactly 11 months ago, Mitch Garver arrived in Cedar Rapids to get started on his first full season of professional baseball in the Minnesota Twins organization. This spring, he's a big league catcher – for now, anyway.
Garver, the Twins' ninth round draft choice in 2013 out of New Mexico, spent all of last season with the Cedar Rapids Kernels, not only playing a leadership role behind the plate but at the plate, as well. He hit .298, led Cedar Rapids with 79 RBI and was voted the Midwest League's post-season all-star catcher.
Garver reported to the Twins' spring training facility in Fort Myers, Florida, with the other Twins major league pitchers and catchers in February and he's been putting on a big league uniform every day since.
Major League teams invite a limited number of their minor league catchers to big league camp every spring in order to have enough catchers to handle catching duties for all of the pitchers that need to work out their kinks during the first four weeks or so of spring training and Garver got one of those coveted invitations to big league camp this year. (Tyler Grimes, who caught for the 2013 Kernels, also is getting a taste of big league life with the Twins this spring.)
On Friday, Garver talked about his experience this spring in the Minnesota Twins' major league camp.
After Garver and the Kernels wrapped up their 2014 season back in September, he spent a little time in Minnesota and Florida getting checked out physically, including a CT scan due to late season concussion issues.
"No issues there, everything came back clean," Garver assured. "It was just an experience for me to make sure everything was OK. I got to see Target Field and everything around there. They wanted to make sure I was healthy enough to go back to Albuquerque to work out, so I was in (fall instructional league in Fort Myers) for a month to kind of iron some things out."
Garver split the next couple of months between time with his fiancé in Corvallis, Oregon, and with his family in New Mexico.
It was while in New Mexico that he woke up one morning, about a week before Christmas, to find he had a missed call on his phone.
"It was at like eight or nine in the morning and I didn't know what the number was," Garver recalled. "So I called it back."
It was a good decision. The call turned out to have been from Twins General Manager Terry Ryan.
"He asked me how my health was and made sure everything was good with my hips and with my brain and everything. I told him I was doing great, having a great offseason. Then he invited me to spring training." That's major league spring training, with the big league Twins.
"It was really exciting. Very cool," added Garver.
Garver has been in camp since February 20 and, as you might expect, walking in to a big league clubhouse as a player for the first time was special.
"It's very different because you walk in and you find your locker and you turn around and there's five clubhouse guys behind you. Five clubbies, asking you if there's anything you need, anything they can do for you at that moment in time. You're just being bombarded with love, it seems like. It's a cool experience. It's just fun to be here."
He's not just there for the cool experience, of course. Garver is there to work. He's rooming with fellow Twins catching prospect Stuart Turner at the new baseball academy that the Twins have built on-site at their complex in Fort Myers.and, according to Garver, their days get off to a pretty early start.
"I wake up at 6:30, we leave the academy about 6:40 and get over to the field. I like to get there a little bit early. They have breakfast for us over there in the new, renovated locker room and kitchen. And the weight room is right there as well. Sometimes you work out in the morning, sometimes you go hit in the morning or you do both.
"And then team meetings around 9:00. After that, we head out to different fields and do PFPs (pitchers' fielding practice), bullpens, live batting practice, baserunning, bunt defense. There's a defensive station every day. So either we're catching bullpens or we're doing something catching-related. For that particular day, it could be blocking or the next day it could be catching pop flies or anything like that. But most of the time, it's bullpens and we get all of our work in during the bullpens.
"When it's all said and done, it's probably around 1:00 or 2:00 in the afternoon and you go have lunch and then you call it a day."
The time Garver and other young players get on the field with major league players and coaching staff is valuable, of course, but it's not the only aspect his first big league spring training that Garver is taking advantage of.
"It's nice to get to know these guys (the major leaguers). You kind of want to get associated with them and learn what kind of people they are off the field, because you already know what they can do on the field. It's fun to talk with them and converse about different things, finding out where people are from and all of these different stories they have, baseball related or not.
"Torii Hunter has some really different stories about everything. It's fun to listen to him talk. It's just a good experience overall."
The experience also has made Garver even more aware of just how close he could be to realizing his dreams of being a major league ballplayer.
"It's surreal. You're playing with superstars and if you put it in perspective, you're not that far off," Garver observed. "Just a hop, skip and a jump away from being in the big leagues, whatever level you're at."
Garver got his first taste of big league game experience on Thursday night, as a pinch hitter, in the Twins first spring training game. It was memorable on multiple levels for Garver.
"I was sitting in the dugout (Thursday) night and we were playing the Boston Red Sox. People that I've only ever seen on TV, or only ever imagined playing against are in the other dugout," he recounted.
"And in the other dugout is one of my best friends from Albuquerque, Blake Swihart. He's one of the best catching prospects in the game and it's just surreal seeing him over there. Then he's catching when I'm batting and I'm facing a big leaguer (Boston reliever Matt Barnes). It's kind of weird to think about it, but it's right there in front of me. I've just gotta go get it."
As exciting as the experience has been and continues to be, Garver is realistic and knows his time in the major league clubhouse is going to come to an end (for this season, anyway) shortly.
Minor leaguers begin reporting to spring training in a few days and eventually Garver will be joining them at the minor league complex across the parking lot from the Twins' big league facility.
Garver is OK with that.
"Yeah, it's coming. I know it is. Everybody knows it is. I think the 15th will be our last day and the 16th is the day we're sent back.
"But you know what, that's fine with me," said Garver, in a tone of voice that certainly sounded genuine.
"I've come, I've seen, I've learned a lot of things thus far. And I think being sent down to the minor leagues is going to be a good thing because I'll get to play every day. I can prepare myself for the season, as opposed to helping major leaguers prepare for their season, because I'm just kind of helping out right now."
Asked whether he'd like to add a couple of points to his batting average in 2015, to get it up to the magic .300 mark, Garver laughed and said that was, indeed, one his goals. But then that's not new.
"I want to hit .300, I want to make the All-Star team and I want to have the most RBIs on the team. There you go. Those are my goals. The same as last year and the year before."

MINNEAPOLIS -- New Orleans leading scorer David West is out for the Hornets' game at Minnesota because of a sudden death in his family.
Coach Monty Williams said he told West to take all the time he needs. But Williams thinks the power forward will be back in time for Sunday's game against the Houston Rockets.
New Orleans did get center Emeka Okafor back in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup with the Timberwolves. Williams said he would limit Okafor's minutes after 10 straight games missed with a strained left hip.
Friday's game was also the Hornets debut for newly acquired power forward Carl Landry.
West is averaging 19.1 points and 7.7 rebounds.

Old Salem Jail, Salem, Massachusetts, constructed in 1813, closed in 1991. Wonder where the witch burning chamber was.
Ch. 15: some men came by the house to tell Atticus that they are moving Tom. Atticus goes to the jail to visit Tom and a group of men come to kill Tom. The kids sneak out of home and run into the men and they feel bad so they leave.

The Squirrel Cage Jail. The design and size of the Historic Pottawattamie County (Iowa) Squirrel Cage Jail make it a one-of-a-kind structure. It was one of 18 revolving ("squirrel cage", "human rotary", or "lazy Susan") jails built. It is the only three-story one ever built. Was built in 1885 and was in continuous use until 1969.
Squirrel Cage, Old Pottawattamie County Jail, Iowa: The "Squirrel Cage" Jail, in use from 1885 until 1969, is one of three remaining examples of a Rotary Jail. It has pie-shaped cells on a turntable. To access individual cells, the jailer turned a crank to rotate the cylinder until the desired cell lined up with a fixed opening on each floor.

A former jail tour guide claimed she believed the ghost to be that of J.M. Carter, the man who oversaw the building's construction. Mr. Carter was the first resident of the top floor apartment and, according to her theory, has never left. There have also been reports of an apparition on the fourth floor identified as Otto Gufath, also a former jailer. Museum staff add whatever spirit is present, it is friendly; despite an occasional door that opens by itself, strange lights, or peculiar noises, no one has ever felt frightened or in any danger.

Hello again all
To add to my previous report which I just posted a few minutes ago, I append the latest ABALIMI Friends newsletter # 36 in case you would like to download it direct from Global Giving, instead of visiting the Abalimi website.
I also add the link to the Farm and Garden National Trust, which I launched recently to source more local individual donations for the micro-farming movement , using (and supporting) Abalimi as the national role model, now that big corporate funding locally and worldwide is becoming less available for genuine development.
May the new ecological Family Farming movement thrive and grow in your own backyard!
All the best

Jay Leno left NBC's The Tonight Show after 22 years Thursday night with a farewell that included old friends Billy Crystal and Garth Brooks and – the one big stunt – a large surprise ensemble of guests (Oprah Winfrey, Kim Kardashian, Jack Black) singing novelty lyrics to "So Long, Farewell" from The Sound of Music.
At the end, Leno teared up and choked up at all the memories, and finally told Brooks to play out the hour with something upbeat.
It was all very nice.
That sounds condescending, "nice," but it isn't meant to be.
It is more a word chosen because its meaning is elastic enough that it can be stretched quite a ways before it reaches the fact that I never really enjoyed Leno on Tonight.
I just didn't find him all that funny.
In the days leading up to the finale, several commentators pointed out that Leno, despite his huge ratings, was not a favorite with television critics. (I raise my hand.) And there was, in this home stretch, a generally if vaguely expressed sentiment cropping up in the media that could be translated as "Don't let the door hit you on the way out."
I have trained myself over the years never to let my thoughts take such violent expression. I wouldn't want a door to hit anyone on the way out, not even Charlie Sheen. But did I mind that the door had been opened? That Leno was heading for it? No.
What didn't I "get" about Leno? His chortling eagerness to please, to seem pleased. Yes, of course he was an entertainer, and a host. Should he have been more like David Letterman? Isn't one David Letterman plenty? But something always felt out of proportion with Leno, as if he were a clown who bounded in for a children's birthday party when in fact the children had already gone to bed.

Critical Read
Rich Caralli, along with co-authors Julia Allen and David White, literally wrote the book on operational resilience — or, at the very least, the definitive manual for CERT's Resilience Management Model (RMM).
Caralli, Allen and White are all part of Carnegie Mellon University's CERT Program, which has developed one of the leading models for operational resilience. The documentation can be downloaded piecemeal from CERT's website, or a comprehensive volume can be purchased in print or e-book form.
Main story: Operational resilience: Bringing order to a world of uncertainty
CERT contends that RMM distills years of research into best practices and a unified, capability-focused maturity model that encompasses security, business continuity and IT operations. The book version introduces the model and explains the core concepts for those new to resilience management — and then goes into extreme detail on how best to assess and implement it.
At 1,059 pages, it's far from a quick read, and the introductory sections help the layman only so much when talk turns to "targeted improvement roadmaps for FISMA compliance" and "CERT-RMM elaborated generic goals." But it does make for a one-stop reference source.
And for all the process and technical detail, Caralli and his co-authors stress that everything boils down to one core concept of resilience.
"Organizations can be very much like Slinkys," they write, referring to the classic spiral-wire children's toy. "Most organizations can manage to expand and contract as necessary to absorb the 'punch' of disruption. But when the expansion is beyond sustainable limits, in either impact or duration, the organization transforms from a Slinky to a mere wire — unable to spring back to a normal operating condition.
Organizations that do not operate with a conscious eye to what their Slinky looks like do so [at] their own peril."

Recently I've noticed that the life of a game on the PS3 can be much longer than it was on the last generation of consoles. Sure there were games I'd play multiple times, and are still in my collection of games, but thanks to online play and download content, games can last a lot longer than have before. Because of this, I think gamers are getting a lot more "bang" for their buck.
Take BurnOut Paradise, this game was released in Febuary 2008, and there are still a lot of gamers playing this game. I have personally downloaded everything for it, and still haven't beat all of the main game. Going online (seamlessly I might add) and playing with friends is great. I've never been a big multiplayer game fan, but BurnOut has changed that. The challenges alone will keep most players busy for months (and maybe years).
Then there's Little Big Planet, the game that could quite possibly never end. With a steady stream of download content, and a massive community of user created levels, you could spend months playing it. The create tools are a little intimidating at first, but after awhile you'll be making your own levels for you and friends to play.
Not saying that there aren't great single player games as well that I would (and probably will) go through several times. But this generation has some really great games that will stay in your PS3/360 far longer than any game that was on the last generation of consoles.
Thanks for reading,

Israel to charge Bedouin village for the cost of its destruction
To serve and protect — Israeli style
Israel has taken the Bedouin village of al-Araqib to court to force the desert settlement to pay US$500,000 in demolition costs, despite having been razed to the ground 83 times since 2010.
The Israeli state is claiming that the southern town should fork out for the 1,000 police deployed to carry out the destruction.
Because it is "unrecognized" by the Israeli government, al-Araqib is automatically approved for demolition….
Around half of Israel's 90,000 Arab-Palestinian herders live in such precarious localities…Never before has a whole town been ordered to pay for its own demolition.
Since occupation of Palestinian territories began in 1967, Israel has demolished more than 27,000 homes.
The dance of death has become the national anthem of Israel. Greed, racism, bigotry, aparthied – are the musicians.
A rape victim's fight for justice in Nepal
Click to enlarge — Photo by Navesh Chitrakar
When Pooja Bohara heard that the two men who had dragged her into a toilet and raped her had been released from prison nine months ago, the Nepali teenager, seen above through a door of the Raksha Nepal rehabilitation centre, went into shock.
But despite being blamed and stigmatised by some in her community in western Nepal for reporting the rape and forced to seek refuge in the capital, the 17-year-old says she is not giving up her fight for justice.
"Society and some family members blame me. My uncle even suggested that I should be placed in a heap of straw and burnt to death, but my father was for justice," said Bohara, sitting in the rehabilitation centre in Kathmandu.
"It is not our fault that we are raped. Victims should come out and tell their story to the courts and seek justice."
The two men, who had been convicted and sentenced to 13 years imprisonment in March 2013, were acquitted by an appeals court last April due to a lack of evidence…
Growing awareness in Nepal of crimes against women has helped an increasing number of victims like Bohara to challenge a culture that often blames or shuns them into silence, say police and activists…
But despite improvements and greater awareness, most women still remain unaware of their rights and do not come forward to report crimes due to fears of stigmatisation, said Menuka Thapa, head of Raksha Nepal, the charity sheltering Bohara…
Mustering the courage to come forward and report violent crimes is just the first step in a long and often painful process to get justice. But Bohara is not waiting. The teenager has appealed to the Supreme Court, which is expected to hear her case later this month.
Another important chapter in Reuters' "The Wider Image" series.
Converting Sunlight into Liquid Fuel" — this is what Obama was talking about
Barack Obama wants to convert sunlight into liquid fuel. It was a passing reference in the State of the Union address…If scientists can figure out how to do this, he said, it could "unleash new jobs."
Currently there are three main ways to use solar power to propel cars and airplanes, but they all have problems:
Put solar panels on your vehicle. Given space limitations on a car, even very efficient solar panels would produce only two kilowatts of power…
Use solar panels to charge batteries or make hydrogen for fuel cells. Battery-powered cars are good for short trips and commuting, but batteries struggle to compete with gasoline, in terms of cost and weight, for longer driving…So far.
Use sunlight to grow plants and convert those plants into biofuels. Plants only convert 1 to 6 percent of the energy in sunlight into sugars and other biomass. So they require a lot of land, as well as tractors and fertilizer involving fossil fuels. The process of converting biomass to liquid fuels also consumes energy…
Obama is talking about using sunlight to produce energy-dense liquid fuels more directly. There are several ways to do this.
One is to engineer the microörganisms that make biofuels from sugar to get their energy from electricity instead…
Another option is to use solar panels to generate electricity, then use that electricity to perform electrochemistry. For example, you could split water to make hydrogen and break down carbon dioxide to get carbon, then combine the hydrogen and carbon to make hydrocarbon fuels much like gasoline or diesel.
A variation on this, known as artificial photosynthesis, would involve redesigning solar panels so that the electrons they produce do not generate an external electric current but drive electrochemical reactions inside the panel…
It all looks good on paper, but in reality there are big hurdles to making the technology work. Researchers have demonstrated parts of these processes, but never put them all together in an efficient, economic package.
Practically speaking, the only jobs these efforts will unleash in the near term involve doing the necessary research.
Which only means the research hasn't traveled much further than proof-of-concept. Doesn't mean it can't or won't happen within a reasonable period of time.
Truly ignorant folks will sit back and rely on gasoline staying under $2 a gallon forever. I remember when it was going to stay under 30¢ a gallon – forever.

First electric biker to earn Iron Butt
When someone tells Terry Hershner that an electric motorcycle can't do a certain feat, he immediately begins trying to figure out how to prove them wrong. Seriously, the man is on a mission to show the world that electric transport is superior transport, with the two-wheeled mode being his validator of choice. The most recent example of this obsessive compulsion has led to him acquiring an iron butt.
For those unfamiliar with that term, relax, it's not a medical condition. Rather, it means that he has officially traveled 1,000 miles or more in less than twenty-four hours on a motorcycle. In this case, an electric 2012 Zero S that he's extensively modified, including the addition of an aerodynamic body kit created specifically for him by Craig Vetter, bunches of batteries (now 21 kilowatt-hours!), and nine separate chargers…
According to Hershner, he's been told many times that this trip, with its lengthiness and time constraint would be impossible on a battery powered bike. So, he decided that the first day of National Drive Electric Week would be a good time to surmount the insurmountable.
Starting at 1:00 PM at Chargepoint headquarters – he would use that company's chargers for the entire trip – he headed towards the Mexican border, about 500 miles away to the south. After covering 1,047 miles in 22 hours and 57 minutes, making nine charging stops along the way, he pulled back into that same parking lot with a big smile and joined the 53,000-plus members of the Iron Butt Association (IBA). Yes, there is such a thing.
I'm tired and tender just from watching his achievement.

Masturbation has health benefits
Joycelyn Elders – Surgeon General forced to resign by Republican backwardness, Democrat cowardice
Conduct an Internet search for "masturbation," and you will find hundreds, if not thousands, of slang phrases for the act. This proliferation of slang phrases suggests people want to talk about masturbation, but are uncomfortable about doing so directly. Using comedic terms provides a more socially acceptable way to express themselves.
So before we talk any more about it, let's normalise it a bit. Masturbation, or touching one's own genitals for pleasure, is something that babies do from the time they are in the womb. It's a natural and normal part of healthy sexual development.
According to a nationally representative US sample, 94% of men admit to masturbating, as do 85% of women. But societal perspectives of masturbation still vary greatly, and there's even some stigma around engaging in the act. Related to this stigma are the many myths about masturbation, myths so ridiculous it's a wonder anyone believes them.
They include: masturbation causes blindness and insanity; masturbation can make sexual organs fall off; and masturbation causes infertility.
In actual fact, masturbation has many health benefits…And there are plenty of additional benefits from orgasms generally, including reduced stress, reduced blood pressure, increased self-esteem, and reduced pain…
Talking about masturbation also has benefits. Promoting sex-positive views in our own homes and in society, including around masturbation, allows us to teach young people healthy behaviours and attitudes without stigma and shame.
Parents and guardians who feel embarrassed or need extra guidance to do this should seek out sex-positive sources of information, like ones from respected universities.
Or you could be truly stupid and talk to a priest or listen to some politician who worries about offending 14th Century sexual mores a heckuva lot more than supporting educated reason.
Acid-head shows up at pizza shop wearing just a towel, carrying a gun!
A Michigan man allegedly decided to drop acid and take a trip down to a local pizza place while only wearing a towel. Staff members at Happy's Pizza in Muskegon Township were not too pleased to see Phillip Andrew Engle show up because he allegedly had a gun and three children with him when he arrived.
The 27-year-old began banging on the glass at the front of the pizzeria and his gun went off. He may have been angry about not being able to eat at the business, although it was open at the time and two employees were working.
No one was injured and Engle walked home after the gun discharged. Police found him sitting on his porch with his 40 caliber semi-automatic in hand. Officers asked him to drop the weapon and he complied.
According to Muskegon Township Police Chief Ken Sanford, Engle admitted to taking four hits of acid before the incident…
After the officer defused the "potentially very dangerous situation," Engle was arrested and brought to a local hospital to be evaluated.

Testicle-eating fish caught by Florida fisherman — fortunately. Unfortunately – he put it back in the water!
A Pacu caught in Michigan — WTF?
A Florida fisherman is thankful that he is still in one piece after an encounter with a member of the piranha family that purportedly has a penchant for poaching men's private parts.
Tom Rigby was fishing in Sarasota when his line started jerking like crazy. After a battle with the fish, Rigby hauled it aboard his boat. When he examined the animal, Rigby realized he didn't recognize the fish.
He took a photo of the unknown specimen, released it back into the water and then sent the picture to Mote Marine.
They quickly informed Rigby that he had caught a pacu, a member of the piranha family.
"I'm looking at all of the teeth, saying this thing can do some serious damage to another fish or something…"…Rigby was right to be nervous about the potential damage the pacu's mouth could cause…"I found out it has a reputation for going after men's testicles. I was just worried about it biting my finger," he said.

A bright, pleasing English love story. Patricia is young and attractive and just naturally invents a fiance so that the other "paying guests" will stop pitying her lonely state. Romance follows promptly when the fiance insists upon materializing, much to Patricia's consternation.
re I can't remember," said Patricia, "I never could remember numbers."
"Not remember the number of the battalion in which your fiancé is?" There was incredulous disapproval in Miss Wangle's voice.
"No! I'm awfully sorry," replied Patricia, "I suppose it's very horrid of me; but I'll go upstairs and look it up if you like."
"Oh please don't trouble," said Miss Wangle icily. "I remember the dear bishop once saying----"
"And I suppose after dinner you'll go to a theatre," interrupted Mrs. Mosscrop-Smythe, for the first time in the memory of the oldest guest indifferent to the bishop and what he had said, thought, or done.
"Oh, no, it's war time," said Patricia, "we shall just dine quietly at the Quadrant Grill-room."
A meaning glance passed between Mrs. Mosscrop-Smythe and Miss Wangle. Why she had fixed upon the Quadrant Grill-room Patricia could not have said.
"And now," said Patricia, "I must run upstairs and see that my best bib and tucker are in proper
Charming. It may take a bit of doing to get into the social and moral sensibilities of World War I England, and the basic plot has been repeated enough that it's predictable, but it's still a lovely story.

A lovely book. Lighthearted and well written; I enjoyed every minute of it. Humour as well and a delight to read.
This is a wonderful book. A woman who steps out of social convention and takes charge of her own life and happiness. It is well written, and kept me interested the whole way through the book.
A light, sparkling story set in WWI London. In order to halt the catty remarks of her fellow-boarders, single Patricia persuades a stranger to pretend to be her fiance for an evening out. To Patricia's chagrin, he decides to make the charade come to pass, enlisting the aid of everyone around Patricia. Hilarity and awkward moments ensue, creating a story mixing the comfortable humor and romance of Anne of Green Gables with the wit of Oscar Wilde.
