Thank You Cora for allowing us to stay in your lovely home. We had a great week and perfect weather. We appreciate the well stocked kitchen (many VRBOs are not stocked) and we could not of asked for a better location either. We walked everywhere. Thank you again!
The location of this house is pretty much impossible to beat -- just a block away from the hub of restaurants and shops at St. Armand's circle, and less than a 5 minute walk to Lido Beach. The house is very spacious, bright & airy and well maintained. They had four really nice bicycles in the garage for our full use, as well as an assortment of beach chairs, beach towels, beach games, etc. The outside swimming pool and especially the hot tub spa was used by our group every single day of our stay.
A special shout-out to Terri, the local property manager, who readily offered to ship an iMac computer charger that one of our guests had left behind on the pool deck. She wouldn't even consider accepting reimbursement for the shipping charges. You don't see that level of customer service every day! A wonderful time was had by all six of us -- thanks much Cora and Terri!!
Well equipped and nice layout for families. Pool and hot tub were a bonus! Highly recommended.
This was the BEST VRBO house we have ever stayed in. The location to the best beach, dining, and shopping was amazing. We cooked a few dinners and the kitchen was very well equipped and the grill worked great! They even had a great variety of spices. The pool/ spa was perfect and very clean. We will definitely re-book this one! Kudos to the owners and property manager Terri.
Thank You so much Cora !!!! It was our pleasure to spend our time at your property. We hope to be back in the near future for another visit !!
The property was as advertised and more. The house itself was pristine and well maintained. The living area was spacious and the bedrooms were very nice. Everything was well marked and detailed for easy use. The outside pool area was perfect. Pool and hot tub were great. A large grille was available and a table for outdoor dining. If we did have any questions the property manager was available on an immediate basis. She was great.
The location was a very short walk to St Armand's Circle, where many shops and dining options abound. Great place to wander and forage. Lido Beach was only a couple of blocks as well. The beach there is beautiful. We enjoyed the sunset there several times !!!
Thanks Again for your hospitality Cora
The Sandersons
This home was perfect for the week we spent celebrating our son's wedding! The home had everything we could possibly have needed or wanted (and more). It was spacious, clean, well-stocked with supplies for cookouts and recreation, and a perfect place to relax between the festivities. The house is a very easy walk -- a couple blocks -- to St. Armand's Circle and Lido Beach, so we had loads of convenient choices. We recommend is wholeheartedly!
Walking distance to beach, restaurants, shopping.
Less than 10 minutes by car from Main Street restaurants, Van Weezel Arts Center, Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, shopping, theater and movies in downtown Sarasota.

text: No we dont need Leaf or Lienart, would you rather have Jamarcus Russell? You can throw the comparisons both ways. He is not Steve McNair, McNair was a much better passer then Newton has shown. I have said numerous times that I do not believe there is a QB in this draft worthy of a top 10 pick. I don't see a franchise QB in the group. My question is, when was the last time one of these dual threat QBs made it to the Super Bowl? Those types of QBs just are not successful in the NFL because they rely on their athletic ability instead of learning to read Ds. We have tried the dual threat route for the past 15 or years, it's time to go a different direction.

Hi, I am very happy with Jackrabbit overall, but I dearly miss many Lucene/Solr features, especially facetting (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-3134) and search time field boosting (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-3204). For facetting I actually think this should be added to JSR-333 (http://java.net/projects/jsr-333/lists/dev/archive/2011-12/message/3) with possible inspiration from the HippoCMS version of Jackrabbit. Search time boosting however probably would be beyond the scope of the JCR spec. Now the question I have is if there is any recommendation on how to best get such a feature added if I myself do not have the expertise to make it happen. Have there been "bounties" collected for features in the past in Jackrabbit. Or are there other Apache projects that have worked with bounties? regards, Lukas Kahwe Smith email@example.com

Eating kangaroo steak may not be most people's idea of a solution to climate change, but for Stephen J Dubner, it certainly is. The co-author of the bestselling books Freakonomics and Super-freakonomics believes that munching on a kangaroo to lower the Earth's temperature is not as barmy as it sounds.
"Kangaroos are not greenhouse-gas emitters because they don't produce methane when they break down their food," the 47-year-old New Yorker explains. "Cows and other ruminants are worse polluters than all of the transportation in the world, so all of us who try to cut down our carbon footprint by lessening our transportation would do far better by just consuming less beef. If we could all learn to love kangaroo, it would be one of the most environmentally sound dietetic changes possible."
Dubner and his co-author, the economist Steven D Levitt, have enraged everyone from climate-change activists to child-safety campaigners by applying rational economic thinking to emotive subjects. Their brand of economics has created a cult following, by answering questions that are not normally tackled with any statistical or academic rigour, such as how life insurance would make good cover for suicide bombers, or why prostitutes now charge less for oral sex.
"When most people think of economists they think of macro-economists. Macro-economists try to describe or – even harder – predict the movements of a hugely dynamic system," says Dubner. "They're like a transplant surgeon trying to simultaneously transplant every failing organ in someone's body. What we're doing is trimming the toenails."
"Trimming the toenails" has caused him a lot of controversy, but speaking in London ahead of next month's release of the illustrated edition of Superfreakonomics, Dubner does not have the appearance of a hell-raiser. A sort of Harry Potter meets Woody Allen, his dishevelled shock of curly black hair, round plastic glasses and navy woollen jumper suggest an affable academic rather than the sort of man to provoke postbags of hate mail. Yet this is precisely what Dubner has done.
He looks slightly lost in the high-ceilinged lobby of the central London hotel where he is staying, sitting among groups of polished ladies chattering over macchiatos. Although being an economist is hardly the cutting- edge of cool, journalist Dubner is probably the less glamorous member of the partnership: his economist co-writer was once described by The Wall Street Journal as "the Indiana Jones of economics" for his swashbuckling approach to the subject. So if Levitt is the whip-cracking adventurer, what does that make Dubner?
"Well..." he pauses, "There wasn't a male sidekick, was there? The only description I've read of us that really made sense to me was as Moses and Aaron. When Moses is asked to lead his people he says, 'I'm heavy of tongue,' which is interpreted to mean that either he's a poor speaker or has a stammer. At which point God says, 'Don't worry, we'll bring in your brother Aaron. He'll be your communicator.' I think that comparison works – not that Steve and I are trying to achieve anything like Moses and Aaron, but that there's the guy who's got the position from which to speak – that's Steve, who understands the world in a very interesting and unusual way – and I'm the communicator."
The religious analogy is one of many during our interview, and religion – along with economics and sport – is a subject that Dubner has returned to throughout his career. He is currently working on a book about Moses, while his first book, Turbulent Souls (1998), dealt with his Catholic upbringing and discovery of his family's Jewish past.
Economic freakery and Moses may seem wildly differing subjects, but for Dubner they are not so far apart. "Religion is a way to make order from chaos and I think economics is not dissimilar," he says. "In religion and in economics you're trying to figure out the way we perceive the world and move through it, and that's what I like to learn."
Religious analogies such as this have got him into trouble, however. The most vociferous of the complaints against him and Levitt were in response to a chapter in Superfreakonomics on climate change, which asked some unpopular questions about emissions, and compared climate-change campaigners to religious fundamentalists.
"We wrote it in a way that both acknowledged the fervour and provoked fervour from the people who were most fervent," says Dubner. "We described climate-change as a quasi-religious issue. When certain people have certain beliefs they can be unyielding, and that's really what faith is. There's a large place in the world for faith, but when it comes to a scientific, political and economic issue, dogma is not a very good place to start. The noisiest climate-change activists were predictably noisy and distraught, which missed the whole point that, whether they agree with what we're proposing or not, there are very few solutions on the table right now."
And solutions are exactly what Dubner now wants to offer. After years of asking questions, both writers are yearning to answer some. "It's all well and good to stand on the
outside of some institution or organisation and say, 'They're doing this wrong, and here's why,' but one strong desire that we both now have is actually to solve some problems. If we could apply Freakonomics thinking to problems, try to solve them and then write about it, I think that would be worthwhile."
"Freakonomics thinking" has been summarised by the authors as "conventional thinking is often wrong" – whether that be questioning the impact of good parenting on education outcomes, or suggesting that the fall in crime rates in the US in the 1990s was due in larger part to the legalisation of abortion than to police crackdowns. It is this unconventional approach to theory that they would now like to apply in practice.
"It would be great to actually raise the funding to empirically test our theories. Even if I could be involved in solving one problem in the world – because so far I've solved zero, I think – it'd be great. An obvious area to investigate would be philanthropy. Most people giving away money have very strong feelings about the problems they want to solve. The trouble is, a) the scope of the problems is often not well defined, so we don't know how bad they are or if they're the right problems to solve. And b) there's often great uncertainty as to whether the solution of giving a bunch of money is at all worthwhile. Therefore you've got billions of dollars that have been directed at problems which haven't been solved at all."
According to Dubner, the reason so many of the world's biggest problems remain unsolved is that most organisations do not experiment enough, or question the status quo. "Experimentation is something that just isn't much done by a lot of institutions – for-profit firms and not-for-profit firms – because we're set up against it. We're set up for consensus-building. In education, poverty, climate and agriculture – whatever the issue is – experimentation is key. Most of the good things that have happened in the world are a result of it – not bureaucratic consensus-building."
The only problem with all his talk of experimentation and implementation is its direct contrast to statements Dubner made 10 minutes earlier in the conversation, on being asked his opinion. "The biggest problem for me is that people who write books are inevitably cast as experts," he'd said. "Often rightfully so, but not always. Someone like me, I'm not an expert in anything. I work hard to learn as much as I can and I collaborate with someone who's an expert in a certain kind of analysis. But he's not an expert on [Freakonomics topics] the Ku Klux Klan, real estate or the science of climate change, either. It's a natural inclination for people to say, 'Well, you've written a book that's fairly clever, so how would you go about fixing our banking system? How would you go about fixing climate change or our parliamentary system?' For me that's a bit uncomfortable."
Uncomfortable it may be, but as Dubner contemplates a future of putting Freakonomic theories into practice, it is clearly not prohibitively so.

Superfreakonomics: Illustrated Edition By Steven D Levitt and Stephen J DubnerAllen Lane £20
'...Economists have traditionally assumed that the typical person makes rational decisions in line with his own self-interest. So why should this rational fellow – Homo economicus, he is usually called – give away some of his hard-earned cash to someone he doesn't know in a place he can't pronounce?... A new generation of economists decided it was time to understand altruism in the world at large'

Many people who are attempting to quit smoking will find themselves relapsing from time to time. Even the most determined people can find that giving up for good can take several attempts. However, recognising what went wrong and avoiding it next time is the best thing you can do to avoid it happening again in future. Dust yourself off, set another quit date, and stay positive about your next attempt.
How to prevent a relapse
When attempting to quit, the biggest hurdle to overcome is successfully dealing with cravings. These are caused by the withdrawal effects of nicotine, and can start just a few minutes after your last cigarette.
Giving in to these cravings is the main reason people relapse, so preparing for them and having solutions in place is the best method of getting through them. Cravings can last for several minutes, but over time the urges will disappear altogether. Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) is one option for dealing with cravings, which supplies your body with the nicotine it wants but avoids the toxic chemicals in cigarettes. Gradually, the dose can be reduced, which means a few weeks later you can wean yourself off and go without altogether.
NRT doubles your chances of quitting successfully and is available in several forms, including patches, gum, microtabs, lozenges, inhalators, and mouth and nasal sprays. Which option is best for you depends upon your lifestyle, with patches offering slow and steady releases of nicotine, while sprays give you an immediate short burst. Your doctor or pharmacist can help you decide which best suits your needs.
However, NRT isn't the only thing you should consider. Medications to reduce your cravings, such as Champix® and Zyban®, can also be extremely effective - again, your doctor will be able to advise you on your options here.
Changes to your lifestyle and behaviours can also help you avoid falling into traps with cravings, so make plans for when you would typically smoke. Many people like to smoke after they've eaten, or when they first wake up. Going for a walk after a meal might help take your mind off cigarettes, while going for a shower while you're craving a cigarette first thing in the morning could be a handy alternative. Exercise can help to reduce cravings, and helps to reduce stress levels which can be brought about when trying to quit, too.
Above all, when the urge to smoke intensifies, remember that it will be short-lived and that each time you resist, you are one step nearer to quitting for good.
Tips to help you quit
1. Think positively. Even if you've failed before there's no need to think you'll fail this time.
2. Set a date and stick to it. You'll find it much easier to quit if you plan in advance. Don't let your social calendar affect your decision, as the looming birthdays and parties will make the decision harder.
3. Make changes to what you eat and drink. Some research suggests that certain food and drink make cigarettes more satisfying. If your favourite cigarette of the day was after dinner, change what you eat to help resist the temptation.
4. Be aware of your cravings. Cravings can last for long periods - develop a range of strategies for dealing with them.
5. Ask for help from family and friends. Giving up smoking is a difficult enough task when you've got help, but going it alone makes it even tougher. Ask friends not to smoke around you to resist temptation, and they may even want to join your efforts to quit.
6. Spend time with your non-smoking friends. You've less chance of being tempted to smoke if your friends don't smoke either, so spend some time with the non-smokers. Your smoking friends will understand.
7. Remind yourself why you want to quit. When you need a bit of help, the reasons on your list should help you keep your resolve. Some smokers have suggested that keeping a photo of their children and loved ones with them really helped when they were struggling with cravings.

Who says Ohio can't be exotic? Only 20 minutes outside the metropolitan bustle of Cincinnati exists a white-sand, refreshingly lush tropical getaway. And come winter, it transforms into a snowy white wonderland.
Situated in a highly competitive region for waterpark entertainment, The Beach, this year's Class 13 winner, works to spotlight its uniqueness compared to other local parks.
Those seeking more adventure can plunge down several slides, while those looking for a quieter retreat can float down the Lazy Miami River or relax in the heated spa pool. For folks in a more local frame of mind, there's karaoke, poolside movies and after-dark teen parties.
Also, despite competing with other local theme parks for employees, The Beach successfully completes its staffing requirements every summer. With 500 seasonal employees, The Beach emphasizes service and teamwork, which it says is responsible for drawing young people.
When the snow flies, The Beach transforms into the North Pole, complete with horse-drawn carriage rides, ice-skating and tobogganing. Who says you can't enjoy The Beach in winter?

When I was a kid growing up in Bangkok, fresh strawberries were few and far between. Imported strawberries could be found in some high-end supermarkets, but more often than not, they looked like they were about to join the choir invisible. The freshest strawberries we could find would come from farmers who grew them in the colder northern region. If our family timed our trip to Chiang Mai right, we would see these farmers on both sides of the road with shoe boxes full of just-picked strawberries—a joyous sight indeed. And though we knew from experience that as fresh as those strawberries looked, they would always be more tart than sweet, we loaded up the trunk with as many of them as we possibly could anyway. Buy first, figure out what to do with them later was our family's motto when it comes to rare food items. Even now when the lack of fresh, sweet strawberries is no longer an issue in my life, I still have the tendency to overbuy them. Continue Reading →

Strawberry-Lychee Jam
Peel-and-Eat Shrimp with Roasted Tomato-Dried Chili Dipping Sauce
First, I made the roasted tomato-dried chili dipping sauce on pages 112-113 of Simple Thai Food. I doubled the recipe, and added more fish sauce and lime juice to make the sauce thinner. I also stirred in about 2 teaspoons of toasted rice powder (page 182) at the end.
Then I half-filled a 4-quart saucepan with water and brought it to a boil. I stirred in 1 tablespoon sea salt to the water and added 3 pounds of jumbo shrimp. Keeping the water simmering, I cooked the shrimp until opaque, about 3 minutes. I drained them and served them with the dipping sauce. Everyone then gathered around the table and got messy.
Baked Ham with Sweet Chili Glaze
I wish you all happy holidays and bid you farewell for this year with this baked bone-in ham, glazed with Thai sweet chili sauce. It's something I often bring to a potluck during or outside of the holiday season, because it's so easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
You only need two things: a bone-in ham and some Thai sweet chili sauce, store-bought or homemade. This recipe—if you can even call it that—is pretty easy; the only thing that could be regarded as a hassle is the soaking which I will tell you about below. But that part is optional.

Swimming Beach
Magnuson Park Beach
Closed for the 2016 Season. See you next year!
Take a dip in Lake Washington! The Warren G. Magnuson Park swimming beach offers a tiny pebble shoreline-your gateway to refreshing waters that average 67 degrees during summer months (June to Labor Day). Play in the water with your children or do a few laps out to the swimming platform. Shallow (waist high to adults) waters stretch from the beach out about four feet. A drop-off beyond that becomes a depth of 10 to 12 feet. Done with water play for the day? Then toss your towel down and warm yourself in the sun on grassy flats west of the beach. A children's wading pool, picnic shelters and tables, are all available nearby.
To get to the beach, enter the park at N.E. 65th Street from Sand Point Way N.E.. Drive straight ahead (east) to the lake, then left (north) on Lake Shore Dr. NE. Park at the foot of Kite Hill, near "The Fin Art Project."

Endless presents Cadenza Residency with Reboot photo gallery

Ticket sales have ended
Reboot [Extended Set]
Gino Santos
New York City's Endless returns to Cielo for another night filled with monstrous grooves and a pure party vibe. Following the unfortunate cancellation of the initial Cadenza residency launch due to Hurricane Sandy, Endless is excited to host one of Luciano's very talented mercenaries, Reboot.
On a day that many believe to be the end of the world, there is no better way to go out than being serenaded by one of Ibiza's most beloved DJ/producers. Renowned for his ability to infuse rare vocals with eclectic bass filled melodies, all while maintaining that tropical feel, Reboot promises nothing less than a night to remember.
Marking his first return to NYC since his masterfully crafted set at this year's installment of Electric Zoo, the Cadenza captain will most certainly do even more damage during his extended set. Providing the warm up set will be NYC local and Endless favorite Gino Santos.
With this event being one of the most highly anticipated in recent months, it is safe to think that most of NYC's club faithful will be dancing the night away on Little West 12th come December 21st.
Follow Twitter.com/Endless_Event or Facebook.com/EndlessPresents for up-to-date information to be announced!

The most used word on the British mobile-phone network is a quizzical and repeated, "Hello?" Unimaginably important mobile-phone conversations are cut off in their prime, just as they reach a critical stage in the exchange of information. All you know is that the person to whom you were once talking is inaudible; you don't know whether it's the fault of your network, your phone or theirs – and, nor do they.
A couple of technology bloggers have been complaining recently that both the signal power and battery-life meters on many mobiles don't give us accurate information. A former employee of a major phone manufacturer revealed that on a full, three-bar battery meter, you might only have half your battery life left – at which point it ticks down – 30 per cent at two bars, 15 per cent at one bar. And this could be customised by the network to make things better or worse.
Some would rather have a linear battery meter that gave them precise information. Others, such as reader Ian Kemmish, don't see what the fuss is about. "There are excellent user interface reasons for this," he posted on our blog. "If you are running out of a critical resource, then you want enhanced resolution at the lower end of the scale."
But room is no longer so tight on new, larger screens, and surely, giving us a simple percentage surely wouldn't be so difficult? Or do manufacturers want us to believe their batteries stay stronger for longer? Signal bars are more complex, but could still be accused of exaggerating. They combine two readings: the raw signal strength from the mast, and the signal-to-noise ratio; the latter is more significant, but it seems more weight is given to the former. So effectively, a full complement of signal bars means your phone can "hear" the mast, but the mast can't necessarily hear your phone.
Of course, we've come to accept that mobiles aren't always the most reliable gadgets in the world. But wouldn't it be better if they told us how things are, rather than how we wish they were?

By Donna Sapolin, Next Avenue Contributor
Have you ever wondered how life might have turned out had you made different choices?
The second phase of adulthood is often accompanied by introspective analysis of the paths we didn't take and ones we may yet pursue. When time feels more precious or when it's evident that things haven't gone the way we'd expected, we consider mistakes we've made and may try to resolve regrets.
This process, of course, also occurs at other times of life, especially in moments when our actions have led to difficult or disastrous results.

A Stunning Photo Project
In early 2013, Maine-based commercial photographer Trent Bell heard that his 26-year-old friend, Brandon Brown — a professional, husband and father of four — had been sent to prison for a 36-year term. He began thinking not only about his friend's poor decisions but also the times in his own life when things might easily have gone another way.
He was motivated to undertake "REFLECT," a stunning photo project that captures the impact of the choices prisoners in the Maine State Prison in Warren, Maine, made and the life wisdom they'd now impart to their younger selves to shape a more positive outcome.
Bell's bold images superimpose large portraits of 12 convicts against blow-ups of their handwritten letters filled with advice and warnings for their younger selves. As a group, the photos underscore just how thin the line is between a life of freedom and opportunity and one of captivity and deprivation.
"Our bad choices can contain untold loss, remorse, and regret," says Bell in a statement about the series, "but the positive value of these bad choices might be immeasurable if we can face them, admit to them, learn from them and find the strength to share."
The images serve as potent reminders of the power of regret and ignite an empathic, compassionate response in most viewers.
The Prisoners' 5 Pieces of Advice
I've watched video interviews with the prisoners shot on the day of photo shoot and read their enlarged letters. I'd like to share some of their instructive words of wisdom. Not all serve as warnings; some express the majestic nature of freedom:
1. The most amazing experiences in life are often the small ones — make sure not to take them for granted. One prisoner details what he misses most: the interactions with family, watching kids grow up and family members grow old. Says Brandon, 26: "I hear my Dad say his back hurts from raking leaves and I wish I could rake those leaves. It's little stuff. You just wish you could be there for the little things." James Blair, 42, expands on the list of sacrifices in prison, reminding us of what really matters: Going for a walk, going to the store, sitting down with people, going to the movies. Other inmates mention playing sports, going to the beach, fishing and eating pizza and ice cream as things they long for.
2. Even people who are not behind bars can be in a prison of their own making — but this kind of incarceration is reversible. Inmate Robert Forest, 67, says he feels more free in prison than he ever did in the outside world because he was ruled by his addictions. "So many people are in their own little prison and don't even realize it," he says. You become a slave to your work, your schedule becomes over busy. You don't take time for family. Don't take time for friends." His comments remind us that it's vital to understand the difference between the irrevocable constraints of institutional life and those we impose on ourselves, which we can often release if we take concerted action.

Video: John Koller Admits PS3 Cross Game Chat is Still a WIP
With a new PS3 Firmware update arriving soon, JoyStiq (linked above) sat down with Sony's John Koller in an E3 2010 interview where he admits PS3 Cross Game Chat is still a work-in-progress despite recent rumors that it may be coming as part of PlayStation Plus.
During the video interview, John Koller discusses PlayStation Network Plus, PS3 Cross Game Chat and Steamworks along with what fans can expect from Sony's new partnership with Valve.
For those curious, the discussion about PlayStation 3 Cross Game Voice Chat begins at timestamp 7:55. Check out the video below!

Cross chat would be alright but what I really would enjoy is to play my own music while gaming.
06-19-2010 #3
Is it me, or does this guy know nothing, and just bs'd for 15 minutes.
06-19-2010 #4
06-19-2010 #5
Even if they got it to where we can play our own music, the player would need a lot of improvement because its a hassle just to get to the player and change tracks. Especially when a guy is chasing your around with a P-90 or you wanna change tracks while reloading magazine. Man I love COD!!
06-20-2010 #6
So this is what xbox done with silver and gold accounts.
Xbox Silver Account + No Online Play but all demos after Gold account gets them

07-08-2010 #10
I'm not sure why they even do these type of Q&A sessions when the person with the supposed knowledge never answers with any good information. Even he said "to answer, but not answer your question" during it.

On "The Event": The passengers of Avias Air 514, having survived being on a plane aimed at the president, being teleported to Arizona, being killed, being resurrected, and being held in a mysterious Bio Quarantine Facility in Virginia, are now infected with a mysterious disease. And it will kill them all by morning if they don't get the antidote from Thomas, the leader of the mysterious Them. Well, the Them who aren't currently imprisoned. Thomas, you see, says he'll kill all the passengers (again!) if Sophia and the detainees aren't freed. President Martinez, not to be outdone, says that if Thomas doesn't hand over the antidote, he'll kill all the detainees himself. A compromise is finally reached, in which the passengers get the antidote and Sophia gets freed.
Meanwhile, in Texas, Sean finally gets Leila's message about being in the Snyder police office. And right after that, Leila realizes that all the cops around her are fake. Sean has a hacker buddy who tips him off at the last second before he strolls into the ambush, so he has to come up with a plan to save Leila. Naturally, he texts Vicky with a threat about her son. Classy! In the end, everyone in the police station is dead and Vicky has somehow redeemed herself by letting Sean and Leila get away. The point is that Sean and Leila are reunited, so I guess there's no reason to pay attention to them anymore.
Also, I still think the First Lady is one of Them. You just watch.

HOUSTON -- Ryan Hanigan wanted to make sure baseball's instant replay system wouldn't start for a few more days.
Hanigan hit a solo homer that would have probably drawn a review in a few days and Bronson Arroyo pitched Cincinnati's first complete game of the season in the Reds' 2-1 win over the Houston Astros.
Hanigan broke the tie in the eighth with a one-out homer off Geoff Geary that bounced off the facade in left center, just above the yellow line. Second-base umpire Ted Barrett made the home run signal and Houston manager Cecil Cooper came out to talk to him.
Baseball announced Tuesday it will start using video to clarify "boundary calls," including whether fly balls went over the fence, but the system won't start until Thursday.
"It's not in place tonight, right?" Hanigan asked. "They called it a home run at first, so I didn't think they were going to change it. But, hey, if those are the rules, those are the rules you play by."
All Cooper could do was protest to no avail. He is a proponent of the new system.
"It was a home run," Cooper said. "From my seat, I thought it wasn't at first. But after I went out and argued with him and talked with him a little while, he said he definitely saw it. But I definitely think we still need replay."
Arroyo (12-10) allowed five hits and struck out three for his first complete game since May 16, 2007. Arroyo snapped a four-game losing streak to Houston when Lance Berkman flied out to center for the last out.
Berkman came into the game with a .324 average against Arroyo, but went 1-for-4 with a single and a strikeout.
"It was actually nice to have him out there," said Arroyo, who threw 109 pitches. "He's beaten me so many times. I felt good against him all night."
The Reds were the last team without a complete game this season, a distinction that had started to nag Arroyo and the other starters.
"We were aware of that," Arroyo said. "Even if you're having an off year, you're going to sprinkle a few in here and there. We got one, so at least we get off the schneid for a season."
Geary (2-3) relieved Houston starter Wandy Rodriguez, who had a career-high 10 strikeouts and allowed three hits over seven innings.
Both starters breezed through the first three innings without allowing a hit. Rodriguez struck out four and Arroyo two.
Chris Dickerson got the game's first hit when he led off the fourth with a single up the middle. Jeff Keppinger lined Rodriguez's next pitch into the left-field corner for a double.
With Houston's infield in, Brandon Phillips hit a hard grounder to first that Berkman dived to stop. Berkman beat Phillips to the base, but Dickerson scored to put the Reds up 1-0.
Miguel Tejada singled with one out in the Houston fourth. Berkman struck out on a 3-2 pitch and Hanigan threw out Tejada trying to steal second for a double play.
Mark Loretta led off the Houston fifth with a single to left and Hunter Pence walked. Both advanced on David Newhan's groundout and Loretta scored on Brad Ausmus' groundout to tie the game 1-1.
Rodriguez struck out Phillips looking leading off the seventh. Joey Votto singled to right, but Rodriguez fanned Edwin Encarnacion for his ninth strikeout, tying his career high. Jay Bruce then swung and missed at a curveball, striking out for the third time.
"Wandy was fantastic," Cooper said. "His command was good, his breaking ball was good. He was attacking the bottom of the strike zone."
Berkman blooped a single to left leading off the seventh. Phillips then made a diving stop on Loretta's grounder and flipped to Keppinger, the shortstop, for the force at second. Pence then grounded into a double play, the Reds' third of the game.
"That was real big," Arroyo said of the double plays. "These guys played a really good defensive game."
Hanigan's second homer of the season was only the third allowed by Geary in 58 innings this season.
"I threw a bad pitch," Geary said. "It was bad location and he hit it well."
The Reds beat the Astros for just the second time in 10 meetings this season.
Arroyo has six complete games in his career. ... Geary allowed a run for just the ninth time in 48 appearances this season. ... RHP Francisco Cordero missed Tuesday's game to be with his new son, Michael Javier, who was born on Sunday. Cincinnati manager Dusty Baker expected Cordero to rejoin the team Wednesday.

Street hawkers were moved on 'for own safety'
Johannesburg's street hawkers, plying a trade in everything from fruit and soft drinks to handmade wire curios, have mysteriously disappeared from around the lavish Sandton summit venue. Wayne Minnaar, chief superintendant of the Johannesburg metropolitan police department, said there was no mystery. The vendors had been moved for their own good. "People with the wrong motives could mingle with the hawkers," he said.
Ford pulls the plug
The car maker Ford said yesterday it was pulling the plug on its Think electric vehicle division due to poor customer demand and lack of government support. "The bottom line is we don't believe that this is the future of environmental transport for the mass market," a spokesman said.
Going piggyback
Invasive species are making their way around the globe, piggybacking on the world's shipping fleet. Guy Preston, who heads South Africa's Working for Water programme, revealed that the biggest threat to the black rhino is now not poaching but habitat loss caused by the massive invasion of triffid weed, Chromalaena.
Save the planet (and clean up after yourself)
Earth Summit delegates are too busy saving the planet to clean up the mess they leave in South Africa. Only seven governments (Britain, Sweden, Canada, Norway, Monaco, Switzerland and Austria) have coughed up for a novel fund to offset the pollution caused by the conference.
