Like other Queens neighborhoods, a trip to Jackson Heights is all about the food. Indian restaurants are prevalent, and you can also find Tibetan, Nepalese, Ecuadorian, Colombian, and even Himalayan cuisine along the colorful streets.
Jackson Heights began as a planned community of upscale apartment buildings with private gardens in the early 20th century. In the years since, the neighborhood has gone through several stages of development and emerged more popular than ever. It's currently home to a diverse mix of ethnic communities. Families from South Asia and Central and South America mingle with ex-Manhattanites who moved out for reasonably priced apartments in historic buildings and the community. With the diversity,… comes great food, and lots of it, including Tibetan dumplings, Indian curries, Mexican tacos and Peruvian chicken. The Roosevelt Avenue-74th Street station on the 7, E, F, M, and R lines puts you on Roosevelt Avenue, one of the neighborhood's primary pedestrian blocks.

Kris Draper left the room early Tuesday to get some tests on his sore groin, but apparently not before passing the baton, so to speak, to Kirk Maltby. Maltby executed a perfect sneak attack on Darren McCarty, smothering his one-time Grind Line linemate with a towel full of shaving cream during his TV interview. It is McCarty's 36th birthday.
"Malts, that was good. I don't think you could have got it more square,'' McCarty shouted out to him.
"That's the running birthday gag,'' McCarty said. "I had my eye out for Drapes, but I knew that he went off early, so I figured he was lurking somewhere. I hold you guys (media) all responsible for distracting me.''
When someone pointed out that he was born on April Fool's Day, McCarty quipped, "Doesn't that explain everything?''
-- Chris Chelios reported that business was good at his Cheli's Chili Bar on Opening Day Monday.
"I wish there were 20 Opening Days,'' Chelios said. "Not just for me personally, and obviously, the bar, but just to see downtown jumping like that. It just reminds of a city like Chicago or New York. It's just amazing what the Tigers can do for the city. Hopefully they'll have a great year and the city of Detroit can feed off that and everybody can get some money coming in because everyone knows there's hard times.''
-- Andreas Lilja's former Swedish Elite League club, Malmo, wants him back next season, but the defenseman said he hopes to remain in the NHL.
"I know the owner there, he calls me pretty much every year and wants me to come home,'' Lilja said. "They just built a new rink, they're trying to create a big buzz down there.''
Lilja, who turned down a two-year contract offer from the Wings earlier this season, is still hoping to return to Detroit.
"If I'm going to play in the NHL, I want to play on the Wings, for sure,'' Lilja said.

Feel better now?
A simple question in Tuesday's column -- What about other motorists drives you crazy? -- brought nearly 200 reader responses.
What bothered folks? A lot, it appears, as they raised more than 30 different issues. Four gripes, however, filled most of the complaint box: Turn signal slackers; dawdlers in the passing lane; chatty drivers who can't put down their phone; and tailgating.
Starting with Tuesday's column and continuing over two weeks, Road Rant will share grumblings on each topic and offer recommendations on how to address the problems.
In the meantime, let's figure out which of the four is THE worst of the pet peeves. Take our poll.

University of Colorado officials have early-stage plans to build a new data centre on the east campus, a project estimated to cost between US$6 million and US$9 million. The idea - presented to the Boulder Campus Planning Commission - is to begin bringing some of the smaller data centres now scattered throughout the campus in dozens of locations under one roof. Now, the smaller units need to be cooled individually, said Wayne Northcutt, a CU architect and facilities planner.
The university has identified 70,000 sq ft of data centres on the campus, which are costing the school around US$500,000 a year to operate and require separate security measures.

Although earnings seasons got off to a rocky start the other day, yesterday featured enough good news to propel the Dow higher by 125 points, or 1%. Over two days, the index is up more than 200 points, but here are three stocks that did even better than the Dow.
% Gain
Cliffs Natural Resources (NYSE: CLF )
3D Systems (NYSE: DDD )
Thompson Creek Metals (NYSE: TC )
Resist the urge to high-five everyone in the cubicles next to you, however. Smart investors won't celebrate until they know why their stock surged, because without a fundamental basis for the bounce, these stocks could just as quickly make the return trip down.
Steel yourself for volatility
Natural resources stocks had a good day yesterday, broadly speaking, as the Motley Fool CAPS Metals & Mining sector rose nearly 2%, so the better-than-average gains recorded by Cliffs Natural Resources and Thompson Creek Metals isn't so surprising. Both have been beaten down recently, with Cliffs down 60% so far this year and Thompson Creek off 25%.
Pricing has been one of the problems confronting them, as iron ore has been buffeted by the weak Chinese economic recovery that dampened demand for steel while lower molybdenum prices have pressured Thompson Creek. The miner said it was cutting production in a bid to save cash. The new stimulus spending program China announced last month gave hope to investors generally that there would be more than just an uptick in demand for metals and ores, but such largesse doesn't flow quickly or evenly, and whatever excitement there had been has seemingly dissipated.
Yet with prices in iron ore recovering, I'm looking for Cliffs to rebound smartly. According to Rio Tinto (NYSE: RIO ) China will still be a center for iron ore demand, though not at rates previously witnessed. But prices should be better as many Chinese miners are cutting production because it's unprofitable at current levels, with even BHP Billiton reining in expansion plans.
Molybdenum's firmed up a bit too, but Thompson Creek has a higher cost structure in place that doesn't lend itself so easily to getting good traction right away. Regardless, I think it's still a good long-term play and could be an exciting investment if it can get back to double-digit margins again.
Let me know in the comments box below if you think these miners can dig deep to find the levers to pull for growth.
The third dimension
The Consumer Electronics Association says 3-D printer sales will hit $5 billion in five years, a 30% compounded annual rate of growth from the $1.7 billion level it currently sits at. That will require a far greater penetration in the marketplace than currently exists, and will demand that prices continue dropping. Investor's Business Daily previously pegged the long-term growth rate at 16% through 2020.
3D Systems is poised to break through the $1,000 price barrier with its printers, a milestone the industry will celebrate, as I've noted in the past that it was at that price point that Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ ) moved the inkjet printer to the fore and acquired massive market share in the process. HP previously had a manufacturing and distribution agreement with 3-D rival Stratasys (Nasdaq: SSYS ) , but the agreed to go their separate ways at the end of the year.
That could give 3D Systems the leg up it needs to keep driving the tech revolution down to the consumer level. Earlier this year I rated 3D to outperform the market on CAPS, the 180,000 member-driven investor community that transforms informed opinion in ratings of one to five stars. My bullish CAPScall on 3D has witnessed the stock jump 130% at the same time the market indexes have risen by just a tenth of that gain.
But you can tell me in the comments box below whether you think it will continue enjoying eye-popping returns like that in the future.
Whoa, Nelly!
3-D printing could be the most disruptive technological innovation to come along in years. With the U.S. relying on the rest of the world for such a large percentage of our goods, many investors are ready for the end of the "made in China" era. Well, it's arrived, and with the balance of manufacturing power shifting yet again, you can profit with the "3 Stocks to Own for the New Industrial Revolution." They're the biggest industry disrupters we've seen since the personal computer, and you can read more about them in our free analyst report.

A Few Random (Musical) Notes — Brandon Crawford
There's a lot to catch up on. Let's start with music.
During batting practice last week in San Diego, the Padres – or at least whoever's in charge of pregame music – had a little fun. The first day of the series, as soon as their own BP ended, the edgy, rappy music stopped. Suddenly, when we took the field, it was all boy bands, '90s pop, teeny-bopper pop.
I was smiling because it seemed like they were trying to mess with us. I was standing out at short stop and thinking, "They don't know what they did. They're locking me in.'' They don't know that we like this stuff. Or at least I do. I hit a home run that night.
The second day of BP, it was all Enya. If you haven't heard her, the songs are like massage music — for batting practice, it was kind of rough. The third day, they played stuff like "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun'' and "It's Raining Men'' –kind of girl-power music.
So did we return the favor when they played in SF this week? No, because to be honest I don't think the music has anything to do with how you play during the game. BUT . . . if I were going to mess with them . . . since it seems they don't like that '90s pop, I'd probably throw on the Sneaky Awesome playlist we listen to every day. Except it really wouldn't be messing with them because they'd realize they actually like it.
Now that we're two months into the season, every now and then I run out of ideas of what to play in the clubhouse. So I'll ask around. Bum and Belt are never afraid to give me a song. Belt's tastes are all over the place. He's like me in that way. He'll go from "I Knew You Were Trouble'' by Taylor Swift to a punk-rock-scream song by System of a Down to rapper Rick Ross to Luke Bryan.
Bum's been surprising. He's requested Rihanna and "Sugar'' by Robin Schulz. He's liked the Drake song I've put on recently. Not what you'd expect from "Fire on the Mountain'' Bum.
I have other random things to share, which I will. But I'm going to post this and finish the rest in a little while.
By the way, pretty good week so far all around, isn't it? Happy flight to Denver yesterday.
Favorite Giants-Dodgers Moment? — Brandon Crawford
I know the last two days against the Dodgers haven't shown it, and we're dealing with injuries to key guys, but we feel really strong starting the second half of the season. That 14-inning game in Philadelphia told you everything you need to know about this team: We battle. It's kind of our signature since at least the 2012 post-season. Whether we're struggling through a few-week stretch or a six-hour game, we fight.
I was happy to get that double in the top of the 14th to put us ahead. But I would have been happy with anybody getting a hit at that point. I received a lot of the credit after the game, but Buster's home run in the ninth to tie the game was just as big or bigger than mine. Papelbon hadn't given up a home run all season. And the bullpen was awesome — eight innings and they gave up only one run.
I've joked — well, I'm actually kind of serious — about wanting to pitch sometime in a game. But I knew Bochy had to go with Colvin or Blanco if the Phillies had tied it up in the bottom of the 14th and we went to the 15th. There were no position players left on the bench, so Timmy — who pitched the 14th — would have had to stay in the game and play the field. There's no way Bochy could let me pitch and put Timmy at shortstop. He'd have to play in the outfield, so that meant either Colvin or Blanco would have to pitch. Luckily, it didn't come to that.
You might have read about the virus or whatever that's been lingering in the clubhouse for what seems like months now. I've had it at least a month if not more, and it's finally gone. I think Miami shook it out of me. Or maybe it was the All-Star break. I spent the break very quietly, as I mentioned I would in my last post. I saw my grandma one day. Another day we went to Buster's to hang out and let the kids play. Braylyn, who's a year and a half, is still a little new to playing with other kids because she hasn't had many opportunities. But she was good with Buster and Kristen's twins, who are three. Javy and Renee Lopez were also there with their two kids — their son is almost two and their daughter is four, I think. (I'm not good at guessing ages.) Braylyn would go play with something and want to play by herself. Then she'd join the other kids. She loved the pool. Buster grilled up some hot dogs and hamburgers. It was just a really great, relaxing summer day. When you have so few off days, you really appreciate each one, especially the ones that aren't crammed with errands and appointments.
So since have some down time during All-Star break, I've been feeling much better at the plate. My first at-bat in Miami was maybe my best at-bat all season. I stayed in against Eovaldi for 10 pitches before hitting a two-run homer on the 11th pitch, a 97-mph fastball. I was happy to fight off some pretty good pitches then square up like that. I hit balls hard in the series even if they didn't translate into hits all the time. When I feel like that at the plate, I know the hits will start to come.
Playing the Dodgers this weekend got me thinking about my favorite Dodgers-Giants memories from when I was a kid. I kind of remember the Brian Johnson game in 1997 when he hit the game-winning home run in the 12th inning to sweep the Dodgers and move into a tie for first place. I'm pretty sure I was at Candlestick for the game that day, but I was really young so I don't remember it well.
The moment I really remember from the Dodgers-Giants rivalry is kind of unusual. It was a single at-bat. Bonds was facing Cy Young winner Eric Gagne. It was early in the 2004 season. The Dodgers were ahead 3-0 in the ninth. One out. Runner at first. I was at the game with my dad. Gagne was throwing 100 mph fastballs, one after another. Every player not on the field hung over the dugout rails watching power against power.
Bonds fouled the first pitch past the Dodgers dugout.
Then he took a called strike inside — 99 mph.
Ball outside.
Ball inside — 100 mph.
Foul into the stands behind the plate.
Towering foul into McCovey Cove off a 101-mph fastball.
Then Gagne threw another fastball — 100 mph this time. Bonds hit it into the center field bleachers.
I thought, "Wow.'' Bonds just kept battling. The Giants lost, but I'll never forget that at-bat.
(Full disclosure: I looked up the exact pitch sequence. I didn't remember every single pitch.)
What's your favorite Giants-Dodgers moment?

Pinch Blogging: Javier Lopez
With Belt on the DL, we're taking turns filling in, so here I am. I'm not a social media guy. I don't do Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or whatever else is out there. But I thought it might be interesting to tell you a little about the bullpen.
Relievers are kind of a family within a family. Like our own band of brothers. We know we'll be facing some pretty stressful situations later in the game, so in the early innings we keep things really loose and light-hearted. We'll bring up some topic — maybe current events, something that happened the night before, something in the game at the moment — and we get the banter going.
Let's say Santiago Casilla made a nice play on a come-backer the night before. He's normally not a great fielder, so we start making fun of him for that. And he gets playfully defensive about it.
You can imagine the field day we had with Machi after his bunt in Pittsburgh. We all know he's a good athlete even if he doesn't look it, but we kidded him about not knowing how to hold the bat and about chugging down the baseline to first. Casilla promptly said he was faster than Machi, and Machi countered that not only was he faster than Casilla, he was the fastest in the bullpen.
I chime in and say I can take either of them. So someone says, "OK, we'll have a footrace.''
You'll be relieved to know cooler heads prevailed. One of us would have gotten hurt, no question. (This is where I could take a cheap shot at Affeldt, but you're already thinking it so I don't have to.)
In any event, Machi was upset he didn't get a hit on the bunt.
"A hit?'' we said. "The ball beat you to the bag! How is that a hit?''
You get the idea.
This is a different bullpen than I've been a part of. It's very international with a lot of Venezuelans. There are no cliques. That's one of the things that makes it pretty special. We spend some time learning English, some time learning Spanish. Casilla is one of my favorites because he genuinely tries to learn English. He's always learning a couple of new phrases, and he has a few he goes to all the time.
The Venezuelan guys tell a lot of stories about the winter league down there. Machi told me Panda doesn't talk in the Venezuelan league. He is not vocal at all, contrary to the singing, laughing character we see (and hear) in our locker room. Machi said it's because there's a pretty strict hierarchy down there, and Panda's still considered a young guy. I found this hard to believe, but Gutierrez and Petit said it was true.
It's kind of the reverse for Machi here: He doesn't have a lot of time in the big leagues, so he doesn't talk a lot. He's talkative around us, but if you were to walk into the locker room he's a pretty quiet guy.
Another thing I didn't know that I learned in the bullpen: Even though Machi has been a closer in Venezuela for four years, he didn't have a save in the big leagues. I had just assumed last year he must have gotten one with us at some point. (Shows you how much I really remember about our games.) He already had five wins but he really, really wanted a save in the big leagues. And he got one during the last road trip in LA. To see him do it, knowing how much it meant to him, was pretty neat.
So all this talking among the relievers is great, but what if there is no bullpen, like here at AT&T Park? The joking and laughing don't go over real well in the dugout. We have to be kind of careful. At the start of the game, we park ourselves at the far left of the dugout, up by the rail. The coaches are at the opposite end, and the position players are usually on the bench against the wall.
At some point, we usually make our way to a small room at the bottom of the stairs (behind the dugout), where we can watch the game on TV and not bother anyone.
I don't want you to think we don't talk about baseball. We talk about situations that might have come up the previous night, and maybe there's a similar situation today and Bochy has decided to go with a different pitcher. We'll talk about different strategies and ask each other what we'd do against this hitter or that one. It's always good to have Plan A but sometimes you need Plan B, C and D. So it's nice to bounce stuff off each other.
The best thing about our bullpen is that we realize we're in this together, and we have each other's backs.
Thanks for reading. Now when you see a shot of us on TV in the early innings, you know we're enjoying each other's company and keeping things loose. Until the bullpen phone rings and everything changes.
Sticking Together – Brandon Belt
It's been a week already since I was in Napa with Haley. It was awesome. We went to Black Stallion winery on Silverado Trail. They were Giants fans so they took really good care of us. Then we went to Il Posto Trattoria and I had the best chicken parmigiana. It was such a relaxing time and really great to spend time with Haley. During the season, you never have enough time with your family, so you really appreciate the time you do have.
Neither one of us knows anything about wine, but we have a great time bumbling through and trying not to embarrass ourselves too much. Everyone's really nice about explaining how the wine is made and what to pay attention to in the different kinds of wine. I don't know if I'll ever be a big wine drinker, but Haley and I both love it up there. I think the wine country will be an annual getaway for us.
As you know, it's been a really uneven start to the season for us. With the injuries and some of us scrapping a bit more than usual, Angel Pagan called a players-only meeting on Friday. He talked about how we're a good ball team that knows how to win and that if we keep playing hard, things are going to start going our way.
Then other players spoke. Buster, Melky (with Angel translating), Huff. Javy Lopez. A lot of the veterans. (Buster is like a veteran even though he's so young.) They reassured the younger players that even though you might be struggling now, it's a long season and you're going to get on track. Don't let your struggles affect your confidence.
I think it helped. As a young player, when things are going bad, your mind can start racing. You're thinking, "Maybe I should be doing this. Maybe I should be doing that. What should I be doing different?''
So the veterans were telling us to just step back and take a deep breath and get some perspective. There's still a lot of season left to play. We can still make up ground. They reminded us to just work hard every day. Trust what got you here. Stick together. Be a team.
It was great to have just the players in there because we know it's up to us. Bochy can have the best strategies in the world but it's up to us to execute. We have to play the game the way it's supposed to be played – the way we know we can play it.
We can't wait to get into Dodger Stadium.

Rock Lines #10- Friday- September 9, 2011
Rosie has reformed and will visit Planet Rock on September 22nd. Rosie formed in the late 70's and performed regularly at the old Columbus Agora and Alrosa Villa.
I recall hearing Rosie at the Galion Emporium several times. They were clearly a Mansfield favorite with their driving rock and roll. Guitarist Mark Chatfield went on to perform in The Godz and is still a member of Bob Seger's Silver Bullet Band. Local rockers- Encore will open the show and tickets are available at Planet Rock.
Van Halen is rumored to be finishing the new CD master mix this month. No word on the title or release date. The VH website has gone dark, except for the logo on the frontpage. Their Facebook page hasn't been updated this year. Makes me wonder if Van Halen is really touring beginning in October?
Due to legal matters, local swashbucklers- Renegade are contemplating a name change for the band. The band is asking for suggestions on their Facebook page.
Classic-era AC/DC bassist Mark Evans has written a book entitled- "Dirty Deeds: My Life Inside/Outside AC/DC". The book is scheduled for release in November 2011.
The 10th Year Anniversary of 911 reminds me of the Concert for New York City benefit honoring first responders from the New York Fire Department and New York Police Department. The event also honored their families and those lost in the attacks and those who had worked in the ongoing rescue and recovery efforts in the weeks since that day.
I am still in awe of the performance by The Who and the solidarity the band displayed with the USA and the UK. The performance reminded us of our greatness, gave us strength, and hope.
The power of a musical message rose above terrorism.
Mansfield Area Local Lineup:
Bucks Bar and Grill in Lexington has Glenwood Boulevard performing.
The Den offers TNT.
Mike's Pizza Pub in Lexington has Encore rockin'.
Belchers House of Rock dances with Taboo.
The Cornerstone Bar roars with Trust.
The Den features a night with Fat Daddy's Blues Band.
Dukes Bar rocks with Lush.
Plan Et Rock hosts Rear Nakedchoke and Renegade.
Joez Lounge offers Trina's Toys.
Stay safe and enjoy the weekend!
Until We Meet Again,
Jim Carver Author: The Legacy of David A. Wells- The Lexington High School "Band of Gold"

UPDATE: Stranded cat comes down from tree in Texas Township after about 10 days
TEXAS TOWNSHIP — For more than a week, Pam Cameron has listened to the meow of the cat outside her home in southwestern Kalamazoo County.
When they're outside, Cameron and her husband, John, talk to the feline but they admit they've never petted it or given it a pat on the head.
The cat, which wears a dark collar and appears to be Siamese, has been perched in a tree for the past nine or 10 days, some 50 to 60 feet above the Camerons' backyard.
"It meows constantly," said Pam Cameron, a library media specialist for Mattawan Consolidated School. "We just heard it meowing for a couple of nights and we realized it was in one of our trees."
Since the discovery, Pam Cameron said she and her husband have made several attempts in vain to get the cat down from the tree, a large oak that shades a section of the Camerons' backyard in the 5200 block of Colony Woods Drive in Texas Township.
She said the couple called Kalamazoo County Animal Services and Enforcement and were assured the cat would come down from the tree limb, eventually. They called the Texas Township Fire Department but the agency didn't have a ladder long enough to reach the feline.
Cameron said her husband even used a bow and arrow to shoot a string over a limb of one of the trees so the couple could raise a laundry basket with food and water up the tree where the cat could get to it. They had even hoped the cat might jump in the basket and then simply be able to be lowered to the ground.
She said the cat got within a foot of the basket after the couple placed it in the tree but then backed away from it and remained in the tree.
"We can hear it," said Marcy Hartel, one of the Camerons' next-door neighbors. "It's not as loud (as it was) and I think it's because he's weak ... It's really hard listening to it.
"It's got to be hurting, it's got to be hungry," Hartel added. "Pam and John have been wonderful. They've tried everything."
At their home on Wednesday, the cat lay perched on a tree beside the tree that the Camerons' sent the laundry basket up. Pam Cameron said the cat moved to the different tree Tuesday night when strong thunderstorms blew through the area.
Cameron said the couple has seen the cat eating leaves from the tree and she thinks it has been drinking rain water to survive.

UPDATE: Stranded cat comes down from tree in Texas Township after about 10 days

RE: Flare or Kombat '06?
My take:
1) Early planning
Flare, but with some technique the difference is minimal.
2) Popping (flatwater)
Flare, no doubt.
3) Jumping of a ramp
No big difference. Different feel, but hard to say either is better than the other.
4) Response in footsteering, gybing, carving, backside waveriding
Kombat. The Flares jibes great, but preferably with a super comited style and even then quite drawn out, alsmost race jibe style.
5) Acceleration
Flare. Kombat is good too, but the Flare just glides better and accelerates faster.
6) Upwind with a 23-25cm fin
I would say Flare, but in 4-strap modem the Kombats will in practice work better because you can get a more effective stance.
7) Top speed
Same as 6. Flare has a faster bottom, but when you're really powered up I think you can go faster with the K with the right trim.
8) Non-planning freestyle
I would say the Flare again.
The thing the Kombats do MUCH better is anything that has to do with wave riding and I would also say most people will find the Kombats nicer overall for "general sailing".

About the hotel
The Inn is an original, beautifully restored 17th century drovers inn. The main building dates back to 1663 and parts of the original building dating back to the 1400s remain. It is set in over 20 acres of grounds and overlooks Loch Eck and the stunning mountains beyond.
It has its own loch frontage and jetty. It has small windows and a quirky interior due to its age and is a listed building. It sits in splendid isolation approx. 12 miles from Dunoon in the heart of Argyll Forest Park and the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. Altogether a very Scottish experience.

"I try to do what I can do to help out folks," Scales said. "It's the least we can do as players. I've been fortunate enough to have people help me and make a difference in my life. Portland was so good to me the last three seasons, and I think it's very important to show we care about the community we play in, even if we don't live there year-round."
This season, Scales, who resides in Roswell, Ga., took part in all three of the Beavers' youth baseball camps, stressing the fun of the game while passing along his considerable baseball knowledge to Portland-area kids during the popular camp program.
Additionally, Scales, a veteran of seven professional seasons in the San Diego Padres organization, made numerous appearances during the season and was a fixture at player autograph sessions and Kids Club activities at PGE Park over his three campaigns in Portland.
Despite a busy 144-game schedule played over the course of 152 days during the 2005 season, Scales led player visits to Doernbecher Children's Hospital and Portland Shriners Hospital, made visits to area Boys and Girls Clubs, met with kids at the team's annual Scout Sleepover at PGE Park, participated in the Rose Festival Junior Parade, helped raise funds for Doernbecher in the Beavers' charity golf tournament, and took part in this season's sponsor fantasy camp and other corporate partner events on behalf of the team.
"Certainly, Bobby is most deserving of this honor," said John Cunningham, president and general manager of the Beavers. "Bobby is a true role model, and we as an organization are very appreciative of his efforts this season and in the past."
On the field, Scales batted .267 with 15 home runs and 87 RBIs in 204 games over three seasons with the Beavers (2003-05). This season, Scales set new career-highs in home runs (14), RBIs (61), runs (50) and walks (53), while batting .274 in 120 games with Portland. Accordingly, Scales ranked among the team leaders in most offensive categories in 2005.

Yes, dear readers, it is awards season. The time of year when the content of the most ignored slides in pitchbooks is decided upon. Even disclaimers may be read more, if only to discover if the poor, hapless, underslept and under-exercised analyst who wrote it remembered to do a find-and-replace for the previous client to whom the book was presented.
It has come to our attention that in this latest round, a couple of banks are taking notably different approaches to the Euromoney FX survey. And of course, we couldn't resist taking a look at the methodology of the thing. Read more

Experimental rock and jazz provocateur Cliff Hines has assembled a typically eclectic cast of like-minded local musicians to stage a tribute to Radiohead at One Eyed Jacks on Sunday, Oct. 23. The show is in the same vein as his past salutes to David Bowie and Prince.
Joining Hines onstage are: Simon Lott (from Charlie Hunter's band), Rex Gregory (Bionica), Amanda Wuerstlin (Big History), Chris Rehm and Sean Hart (Caddywhompus), Tyler Scurlock, John St. Cyr and Ross Farbe (Sun Hotel) Andrew Jarman and D-Ray (Vox and the Hound), Jack Craft, Jon Arceneaux and George Elizondo (Glasgow), Jasen Weaver (the Session), Mike Girardot (Big Rock Candy Mountain), Andrew Landry (High in One Eye), Sebastian Figueroa (Proud Father) and Ian Painter (the Live Oaks).
Re-creating the Radiohead catalog presents certain sonic challenges that the music of Bowie and Prince did not. Hines says the ensemble even plans to take on material from Radiohead's current "The King of Limbs," which relies heavily on loops and other effects.
"It won't sound exactly like the records," Hines says. "It will sound like the musicians onstage. But we will try our best to get everything close."
The event doubles as a costume contest; anyone who shows up in costume gets $3 off the $10 admission. The musicians try to represent the featured artist. Bowie and Prince presented some obvious looks, Radiohead not so much.
Perhaps the musicians can look dour and stare down at the stage….

During CTS-run I've defined my clocktree as below: AutoCTSRootPin TIMMCORE/u_core/u_coss/u_efc/u_fb_fs/f_wre_reg/Q MaxDelay 7.0ns # set_clock_latency MinDelay 6.7ns # default value MaxSkew 300ps # set_clock_uncertainty SinkMaxTran 900ps # set_clock_transition BufMaxTran 900ps # set_clock_transition Buffer dly1x3pdv dly2x3pdv dly2x8pdv dly3x3pdv RouteType standard_clk AddDriverCell cnbfx6pdv PadBufAfterGate NO NoGating NO DetailReport YES RouteClkNet YES PostOpt YES ExcludedPin + TIMMCORE/u_core/u_coss/u_efc/u_fb_fs/loc_tdo7_reg/TI LeafPin + TIMMCORE/u_core/u_coss/u_efc/u_flash/WRE END But after CTS, the delay from the clock root to */TI as same as the delay to the */WRE. My expecting is that the */TI pin should be excluded from the clocktree. Ps. I'm using (cadence_fe 04.20-s315_1_USR2 )
I've just found that when you define (SetDPinAsSync YES) in the CTS-configuration file then it works. From user guider SetDPinAsSync YES | NO Controls whether CTS automatically treats the D-pins of flip-flops as synchronous pins. D-pins include Data pins Enable pins Scan-in pins Scan-enable pins Synchronous set and reset pins Default: If you omit this statement, CTS treats the D-pins of flip-flops as excluded pins. That is, CTS does not treat the pins as synchronous pins.
Hi, Let me add few more comments on your topics,The alternative way other then adding in script file is by setting the same in CTSMode "setCTSMode -setDPinAsSync " before loading ctstch script file. Then this is global for all the other CTS trees.Its allways adviceble to set soft rule for Preferred layers like avalable top metals (M5 , M4 ) in setCTSMode command .like ( setCTSMode -topPreferredLayer M4 -bottomPreferredLayer M3 ) .BTW how was your correlation of skew and delay between clk- route only and post route phase.Regards,Mohan

New athletic code is a positive step
Officials at Oak Harbor High School are contemplating being a bit more lenient on student-athletes who might abuse tobacco, alcohol, drugs or violate some other statute of the athletic code.
In past years if an athlete broke one of the rules, he or she was off the team for the remainder of the season.
We called it "getting fired" back in the old days when a player violated the athletic code of conduct and got kicked off whatever team they were on.
There was no appeal process, no recourse, no nothing, you were done for the season.
Additionally, if an athlete committed a violation in between seasons, they were not allowed to play in the upcoming season.
That is to say if you were caught drinking during the summer, forget about playing football or volleyball in the fall.
If the new proposal is approved, the first offense will cost the athlete 30 percent of the season and for the second offense they will be out for half the season.
If you commit a third offense the athlete is out for the year and deservedly so. If you haven't learned anything after the second time you messed up you either don't care about your teammates or your school, or you're just plain dumb.
Take your strikeout and if still want to attend games, you can do it from a seat in the stands.
Keeping student athletes involved and connected are the main reasons for the new proposal and I applaud Athletic Director Nicki Luper for urging that a change in the code needs to be made.
For my money, school administrators have gotten smarter over the years and are beginning to take note of some of the peer pressure and stress student-athletes are exposed to outside the playing venue and are showing some compassion and a willingness to work with the kids.
One of the areas I hope the new policy will address is the "guilt by association" suspensions.
Those types of suspensions, in my opinion, border on being a violation of due process, for all you Law and Order fans.
Too many athletes have been kicked off teams for "just being there."
Stuff like being at a party for a brief period of time where other kids were drinking or smoking, even though you never participated, could get you suspended from the team.
I even knew of one athlete who was suspended from competition because he'd gone to a party to pick up a friend. The friend, who had been drinking, called for a ride. The athlete hadn't even attended the party in the first place as he knew what kind of party it was going to turn into. But, being a good person, he answered the call and became a designated driver.
Naturally, he got turned in. You were there, guilt by association, you're gone!
Here's another good one.
A car pulled up in the school's parking lot and four kids got out, one of them was an athlete. A teacher happened to be looking out his classroom window and noticed cigarette smoke "rolling" out of the car's doors. The athlete was not seen smoking nor did he have a cigarette in his hand.
Made no difference, he was off the track team. No appeal, no nothing. That's wrong and totally unfair.
I have no doubt the new Oak Harbor policy will allow for appeals, it's the least school officials can do. Hey, every kid you meet isn't a liar. Why not give him or her the opportunity to at least explain what transpired before a decision is handed down on what amounts to hear-say evidence?
Sound just like old Jack McCoy (Sam Waterson) don't I?
One part of the new proposal that I do have a problem with involves hard drugs.
Right now, society permits the use of alcohol and tobacco and, in some cases, medicinal drugs. However, steroids, cocaine and the infamous "greenies" from years gone by you have to have a zero tolerance policy.
Besides, the illegal possession or use of any narcotic drug should get the violator free room and board in Sheriff Mark Brown's lockup — and the violator won't have to worry about playing sports.

Lyme Disease
National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
It is possible that the main title of the report Lyme Disease is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
General Discussion
Lyme disease is an infectious disease caused by the spirochete bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. The bacterium is carried and transmitted by deer ticks ( Ixodes scapularis). In most cases, Lyme disease is first characterized by the appearance of a red skin lesion (erythema chronicum migrans), which begins as a small elevated round spot (papule) that expands to at least five centimeters in diameter. Symptoms may then progress to include low-grade fever, chills, muscle aches (myalgia), headaches, a general feeling of weakness and fatigue (malaise), and/or pain and stiffness of the large joints (infectious arthritis), especially in the knees. Such symptoms may tend to occur in recurrent cycles. In severe cases, heart muscle (myocardial) and/or neurological abnormalities may occur.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Andrew Baran, 70, of Eltingville, a retired longshoreman, died Saturday in Staten Island University Hospital, Prince's Bay.
Born in Brooklyn, Mr. Baran moved to Eltingville in 1978.

Mr. Baran touched the lives of many Islanders as a motivational speaker at the YMCA in Eltingville, his family said. He enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren.
He was a huge fan of Walt Disney and collected theme memorabilia. He attended Our Lady Star of the Sea R.C. Church, Huguenot.
Mr. Baran is survived by his wife of 30 years, the former Penny Gross; a son, Adam Lener; daughters Donna DeTeresa, Paige Lener and Erika Bacchio; brothers Stephen and George Baran; sisters Lorraine Nastacio and Diane Moros; five grandchildren, and a great-grandson.

Parties on a Budget
Quick fixes for common stressors, DIY Halloween costumes, kiddie parties on a budget, and so much more in the October issue of Good Housekeeping Philippines, out now!
In an interview for ABS-CBNNews.com, actress Andi Eigenmann said she was willing to forgive her baby's father. The star pointed out, however, that she didn't see this happening in the near future. "Wala namang nagso-sorry sa 'kin, sinong papatawarin ko? Pero 'yung topic sa dad, para sa 'kin I'm happy with Elle (Adrianna Gabrielle), walang kulang. (No one has apologized, so who am I going to forgive? But if the topic is about dads, I'm happy with Elle. We're not missing anything.)"
Andi made waves last year after announcing she was pregnant. In an entry on her Posterous.com blog, she named actor Albie Casiño as Elle's father. She has since removed his name from her post. Andi gave birth to baby Adriana Gabrielle in November 2011.
"Siguro pag nag-sorry siya, papatawarin ko naman siya. Wala na 'yung sa aming dalawa (If he says sorry, I'll forgive him. There's no more issue between us)," she is quoted as saying on ABS-CBNNews.com. "I left that all in the past. I've moved on; I'm happy. I'm way happier now than ever before, so okay na ko. So kung mag-sorry siya, papatawarin ko, 'yung para lang talaga kay Elle. (I'm already okay. So if he says sorry, I only need to forgive him for what he did to Elle.)"
"Nagkita na kami. Hindi niya ata ako kilala eh (We've met. It's like he doesn't know me)," she added in a joking manner. "Hindi kami masyado close, so hindi kami nagpansinan. Hindi niya ata ako kilala. (We're not close, so we ignored each other. I don't think he knows me.)"
In the meantime, Andi is focusing on her showbiz comeback, which she is dedicating to her daughter. "I've never had an inspiration close to this," she said. "Elle's my life now, so everything that I do, I put her first, I always think about her. So all the more I'm motivated; I really just want to get back in shape, be beautiful again, and go back to work."
She will be starring in a TV series with actress Iza Calzado and actor Gabby Concepcion. Her partner will be Jake Cuenca.

Leah Chase, singer-teacher, on her daughter, singer-actress Chase Kamata, currently in 'Where the Girls Were' at Le Petit Theatre: "I gave birth to my competition. She is everything her mother is not in her career: determined, tenacious and fearless. The first time I knew she embodied these attributes was when she auditioned to be a Von Trapp child in 'The Sound of Music' at Southern Lyric. I didn't want to discourage her, but a half African-American half-Japanese child going for the part of a blue-eyed Austrian? Talk about chutzpah and moxie. I love that about her."
Brandt Blocker, New Orleanian, director of the Atlanta Lyric Theatre:
"Atlanta has lots of professional theater, but there isn't a colorful theater community like there is in New Orleans. You can make money in Atlanta, but where are the characters? You don't know how rich New Orleans is in distinctive theater talent until you leave."
Don Brady, retired Loyola University drama professor, actor, playwright and reformed theater critic:
"I have seen theater so bad in this town that the only reason I stayed in my seat was that I had friends in the cast. I'll tell you what I do go to see because I know I will enjoy it: anything that Tulane Summer Lyric Theater does and whenever and wherever Ricky Graham is onstage. There is a great deal to be said for musical theater and laughter. I'm tired of living in Beckettville. I see it every night on the news."
Theater-goer Rachel Geiger, 18, on Jason Kirkpatrick's performance as a death row inmate in "Coyote on a Fence" at Delgado Community College: "I can tell when people are acting, but I couldn't, watching him in this play. He just .¤.¤. was the character."
Theater-goer Rudy Rihner, 17, on "Private Eyes" at Southern Rep:
"It's a little confusing, but delightfully unexpected."

Thanks!%%%%%%%%%%%%* Literature/TheBible, in Chapter 4 of Judges, has Deborah, a prophetess and leader (or [[TitleDrop "judge"]]) of Israel, leading her people to victory against a foreign enemy. Boudicea-like, she is a skilled charioteer.** In the same story there's Jael, the wife of one of Deborah's generals, who put a tent peg through an enemy king's head. She's more of a GuileHero, however, having manipulated the guy first before killing him when distracted.** Rahab, the madame of a brothel, gleans secrets from enemy soldiers in moments of distraction and passes them to the Israelites who are besieging the city. ** There's also PluckyGirl Judith, who tricks an enemy general and cuts his head off to free the Jews from him.* [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Greek mythology ]]features goddesses [[LadyOfWar Athena]], [[BadassBookworm goddess of wisdom/intelligence]], justice and {{war|God}} and [[TheArcher Artemis]], [[ImprobableAimingSkills goddess of hunting]], [[NatureHero nature]] and [[{{Lunacy}} the Moon]].** Many goddesses actually, rather ironically given the patriarchal Greek culture. Hera was at times worshipped with a warrior aspect, and kicked the crap out of Artemis in the Trojan War. Selene, the Moon goddess, fought against freaking [[EldritchAbomination Typhon]], many primordial goddesses are clearly much more powerful than Zeus himself (Nyx, for starters, [[MamaBear which is why he never messes with her children]]), and Aphrodite had not only associations with war, but many nasty epithets associated with death and violence.** Also, the mortal heroine Atalanta, who was best known as a huntress (and unsurprisingly a devout follower of Artemis). She was the first to injure the Calydonian Boar, took part in Jason's quest for the Golden Fleece.* [[{{Badass}} Durga]][[note]]meaning, "the invincible"[[/note]], from Myth/HinduMythology, is the [[GodOfGood goddess of victory of good over evil]] and very, very good at killing demons.* Freyja, the leader of the Valkyries. When she gets angry, she can make the whole of Asgard shake. ** [[ThePowerOfTheSun Sunna]], who is on war with evil sky wolves, and actually left behind the Sowilo rune, which symbolises victory.** The valkyries are basically an AmazonBrigade of death incarnate.* St. Margaret of Antioch, also called Margaret the Dragon Slayer. Margaret fought off the advances of a local governor and was thrown into a dungeon with a dragon ''which she subdued with a crucifix.'' In art, the crucifix is actually a spear or longsword, the hilt forming the cross, and she battles the dragon in the same manner as [[Myth/SaintGeorge St. George]]. After defeating the dragon, {{Satan}} appeared to her, and [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu she wrestled him to the ground]]. She is also one of the saints that Joan of Arc claimed appeared to her.* Mai Bhago was a Sikh woman who ralyed fleeing warriors with her [[DrillSergeantNasty urges and taunts]] and her [[TheDulcineaEffect leadership ability]] and [[JeanneDArchetype took them into battle]] against the forces of the Grand Mogul. ** As all Sikh women are princesses(which is what the common feminine Kaur, means), perhaps she would also be a BadassPrincess.

They couldn't resist taking photos of their field as it was covered in snow.
The Whitecaps game Friday night with the South Bend Silver Hawks was called due to the white stuff. It will be made up Saturday with a doubleheader. The first game will be at 1 p.m. with the second game starting 30 minutes after the completion of Game 1.
Jim Jarecki, the Whitecaps vice president of baseball operations, laughed in disbelief as he looked at the field a Fifth Third Ballpark.
"You can't fight mother nature," he said. "Obviously these conditions were not conducive for baseball."
This is the fourth game in a row and fifth time in 10 games that the Whitecaps have had games postponed due to inclement weather.
Jarecki, who has been with the organization since it began in 1994, said he's seen a snow-out before - five actually. The team had five in a row cancelled in 2003 due to snow, ice and cold temperatures.
Part of the Whitecaps parking lot is underwater, too. Fifth Third Ballpark sits on the banks of the Grand River, whose water has creeped into the parking lot on the south side of the facility.
"We have had it flood before, but never this bad," Jarecki said. "We're monitoring it as the river crests, but we'll just redirect parking."
Kyle Schepel, a Grand Rapids native, is scheduled to pitch Sunday at 1 p.m. Schepel, a 6-foot-1 right-hander for South Bend, went to Grand Rapids Christian and Grand Valley State University.
Schepel, 22, pitched a seven-inning no-hitter against Lansing on April 14.

MOORLAND - Club meeting, fundraisers, wedding receptions.
When a group gathers for a meal, Howard Ball aims to feed.
Ball, who owns Howard Ball Feed Shed Catering in Moorland, can provide meals for crowds from 12 to 1,200.
Article Photos
-Messenger photo by Hans Madsen
Howard Ball, right, co-owner of Howard Ball Feed Shed Catering, serves up pulled pork sandwiches during the recent Webster County Republican Picnic in the Bob Heun Shelter at John F. Kennedy Memorial Park. His wife, Karen Ball, helps out at left. She is listed on their business card as "Boss."
"We do everything from hot dogs to prime rib," he said.
Feed Shed Catering is very much a family affair, Ball said. He works in tandem with his wife, Karen, and they are often joined by their children and grandchildren.
Barbecued meats are a specialty of the business, he said.
"Pulled pork is our signature dish," he said.
Ball first developed in interest in smoking meat in his younger days during Sunday afternoon softball games in Moorland.
In conjunction with the games, people would gather to share smoked ribs, chops and the like, Ball said.
Ball got his first lessons in the art from the men who tended the smoker.
Eventually, Ball built his own smoker, which he used during family gatherings and, eventually parties and other events.
"Gradually, it got bigger and bigger," he said. "So, we decided to start a business and go legit."
Ball retired from the Iowa Air National Guard in 2003 after a 35-year career, during which he was named the State of Iowa Outstanding AIrman in 1989.
Around the time of his retirement, a feed shed adjacent to Ball's Moorland property came up for sale.
Ball purchased the property and remodeled it. The former shed now houses his catering kitchen.
"It's about 100 feet from my house," Ball said. "I have an easy time walking to work."
For many events, Ball transports his work station with him. Feed Shed Catering offers on-site grilling. He also has a 20-by-40-foot party tent available for rental.
"We travel all over," said Ball, who often caters events as far away as Des Moines or Iowa City.
Depending on the menu, Ball said he can pull together an event in two to three days.
Recently, Ball's handiwork was featured at the Webster County Republican Picnic at John F. Kennedy Memorial Park.
But Ball has served Democratic events, too, he said.
"We take any and all bookings," he said. "Feeding the multitudes is no problem."

...., Read the Arizona immigration Senate Bill #1070.
In case you want to know I haven't read it either, but I did glance at it.
I can't imagine that Holder and Napolitano haven't read the small 16 page Law. If they haven't, then their even bigger idiots than I thought they were.
If it were 2700 pages like the Health Care Bill, then they would have a slight excuse, but 16 pages???? -No, they've read it.
I'm guessing that the Whitehouse / Obama admin. have concluded that it is better to say they HAVEN'T read the law and be able to scold it, then to say that they HAVE read it, found out it was constitutional, and NOT be able to bad mouth it in any way.
ie: Not be able to score political points with Latinos before the November elections.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "It's like the president's not our boyfriend anymore," Joan McCarter, an editor at the Daily Kos website
cobraguy,From their mouths to your ears!!!
ST- I've seen those videos and I'm simply not buying it. I know both Holder and Napolitano are left-wing wackos, and I know they aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer, but c'mon.........they are the top law enforcement officials in our country.......and I'm supposed to believe that they haven't read a 16 page law???
-That line is for suckers.
If they admit to people that the've read the law, then they would have to answer (even more) questions regarding their legal opinion / thoughts on it's constitutionality and if it encourages racial profilling - which they don't want to do because they know it's constitional and would hold up in court (as written), and they know the law states that racial profilling is not allowed.
If they plead ignorant of the law (by saying they haven't read it), they can call the law racists and unconstitutional by simply giving their "emotional opinions" (not LEGAL opinions) based on "what they've heard / read about the law in the media (who's reports on this law are biased as well).
Sure, they look like idiots by saying they haven't read it, but they can score major political points with the Latino community by bashing the law, and THAT'S more important to this administration / democrats right now (because we're in an election year) then making a couple of idiots look like even bigger morons.
Both Holder and Napolitano have got to go. They are an embarrassment to this Nation and we are less safe with them in office.
Napolitano said "this isn't a law that I would have signed".
-How the hell does she know if she hasn't read it!!??
Marooooons, BOTH of them

Birds of a more natural flock have been spotted taking off and landing near the Jamestown airport.
Local birdwatchers have recently made an exciting discovery when two separate species of endangered birds - the Henslow's sparrow and grasshopper sparrow - were observed off of Girts Road near the Jamestown airport.
According to Dr. Twan Leenders, Roger Tory Peterson Institute president, these two species of sparrow have been declining in population over the past century because of circumstances involving their preferred habitat, mostly low-intensity farm fields and pastures. As agricultural policies and commercial development have become more aggressive, the sparrows' habitat has diminished.

A Henslow's sparrow is spotted on Girts Road, next to the Jamestown airport.
Submitted photo
"They are a grassland bird," Leenders said. "And most grassland birds across the range have hugely declined in their population numbers over the past century, for many reasons. Old farm fields that were farmed at a very low intensity 100 years ago are now subject to more intense farming practices, which have not been conducive to the wildlife living there, especially the birds that live in hayfields. So many farmers need to get three to four cuts out of their hay fields throughout a season, and at some point during a breeding season, the entire habitat will be removed. Depending on what time farmers make a cut, they might even harvest with them these grassland birds that are trying to raise young."
According to Leenders, these grassland birds still attempt to nest in places like high-intensity farms, however their success rates are very low. The Jamestown airport is a completely different story.
"Airport maintenance is very different from a farm, and the airport has different priorities," Leenders said. "The airport needs to make sure that airplanes can land and take off safely, but as you get further away from the runway, priorities change. You can't have big trees blocking views, but mowing patterns become very scarce around the border of the airport, which has affected these birds positively."
Although the Jamestown airport is fenced off, airport property extends past the fences. It's in this area, around Turner and Girts roads, that the Henslow's sparrow, and to a lesser extent, the grasshopper sparrow, have been observed.
"The birds are there because of the way the mowing has taken place," Leenders said. "But they're also protected, simply because it's a low-traffic area. Occasionally a car passes or someone is running their dog there, but for the most part, the land stays vacant."
Because the Henslow's sparrow is a protected animal, the Department of Environmental Conservation has stepped in, and both RTPI and the DEC look forward to working with the Jamestown airport to find ways to continue producing a habitat that allows these two species of sparrow to prosper.
"We have evidence that breeding has taken place around the Jamestown airport," Leenders said. "We've seen a fledgling from a previous brood out there, so we know they're successfully breeding."
Both the Henslow's sparrow and the grasshopper sparrow are migratory birds, so the DEC and RTPI plan to continue to monitor their progress near the airport until it is time for the birds to fly south. Leenders and RTPI hope to learn more about the airport habitat, such as what specific vegetation makes the airport ideal for these sparrows, with the hope that such a habitat could be replicated around Chautauqua County in time for the sparrows' return next spring.
"Unfortunately, a lot of these birds' winter habitat has been paved over during the past few decades," Leenders said. "There's a lot of developed area in Florida that used to be grassland. Now their habitat has become very sparse, and that includes up here in New York, as well. They are mostly gone from all of New York state - there's only a few pockets of them left."
Leenders said he is very appreciative of the Jamestown airport and its staff, as it has already placed an emphasis on helping the DEC and RTPI preserve the sparrows' habitat.
"They've been incredibly helpful and understanding of the situation," Leenders said. "The airport has other priorities that are very important, but it has made a point to do what it can to help us with studying and maintaining this habitat. The whole airport area is a fantastic bird place, especially when it comes to grassland birds. Not only do we have the extremely rare Henslow's sparrow, but also the grasshopper sparrow - there are huge numbers of meadowlarks and Savannah sparrows - if you've never really seen a functioning grassland, it's a great place to just take a walk in and appreciate. Unfortunately these birds should be all over Chautauqua and Cattaraugus counties, but for the time being, they're all right here."
While there is not a specific number which designated a population threshold, an endangered species is one whose numbers are so small that it is at risk of extinction.

- Conference date: 19-23 Aug 1996
- Location: Santa Barbara,California (USA)
A signal of positrons above background has been observed in collisions of a low-emittance 46.6-GeV electron beam with terawatt pulses from a Nd:glass laser at 527 nm wavelength in an experiment at the Final Focus Test Beam at SLAC. Peak laser intensities of have been achieved corresponding to a value of 0.3 for the parameter where is the electric field strength of the laser transformed to the rest frame of the electron beam and is the QED critical field strength. The positrons are interpreted as arising from a two-step process in which laser photons are backscattered to GeV energies by the electron beam followed by a collision between the high-energy photon and several laser photons to produce an electron-positron pair. These results are the first laboratory evidence for a light-by-light scattering process involving only real photons.

Spa L'Auberge offers even more enticements: a full menu of soothing indulgences delivered in ten luxurious treatment rooms. For the ultimate in togetherness, there's a private couple's garden on the spa's lush grounds, complete with a European soaking tub.
The hotel's chic restaurant, Kitchen 1540, uses the freshest produce, seafood, and meats to create an exciting dining experience, whether you're seated indoors or outside in the dining and lounge area.
And if romance isn't your strong suit, never fear. L'Auberge Del Mar has an on-site Romance Director who can help you plan your celebration with creative ideas like a private serenade, skywriting a message during sunset and hot-air ballooning with dinner. Cupid couldn't do more.
A variety of packages are available, like the Bed & Breakfast Package, which offers guestroom accommodations, complimentary breakfast for two at one of two restaurants, and valet parking.
Pricing depends on season and availability. Please contact for details.
