PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. (AP) – Miguel Angel Carballo was the second alternate on the eve of the Honda Classic when the Argentine rookie sent out a message to his fans, "I need a miracle.''
He wound up getting Tiger Woods.
Carballo, a 32-year-old who finally made it onto the PGA Tour this year, was thrust into the spotlight at PGA National on Thursday when Ian Poulter withdrew with an illness and he took his spot in the marquee group of Woods and Lee Westwood, two players formerly No. 1 in the world.
It was a day Carballo won't forget, even if he could do without the score.
Carballo came undone on the par-3 17th hole when his tee shot went into the water and his next shot flew the green and plugged into the back of the bunker, leaving him no choice but to chip sideways into the sand. He took quadruple-bogey 7 and shot 79.
Westwood had a 70, while Woods opened with a 71.
"None of the three us had a good day,'' Carballo said. "Obviously, my day was worse because I hit more bad shots.''
Carballo, who qualified for the tour by finishing 10th on the Nationwide Tour money list, already has played five tournaments this year, making three cuts with his best finish a tie for 29th at Pebble Beach.
He tried to Monday qualify and missed with a 72, then decided to hang around to practice before leaving next week for the Puerto Rico Open. On Wednesday, he was hearing rumors that Poulter was sick.
He looked at the tee times and realized Poulter was playing with Woods and Westwood.
His reaction?
"Oh, wow,'' he said.
His manager, Gustavo Piovano, had arranged for a massage at the spa Thursday morning when they saw Poulter leaving PGA National with his bags packed.
Official word arrived a short time later, and Carballo was on his way.
"I didn't know anything about him,'' Woods said. "Westy and I didn't know if he played the European Tour or our tour. But he was thrust into a situation I'm sure he's not really familiar with, and he handled himself great. It's a tough deal out there. On a golf course where you can be just a little bit off, scores add up quickly.''
He wasn't the first player to be among the frenzy that accompanies Woods.
Louis Oosthuizen, in his first time playing in America, was paired with Woods at Doral in 2006 for a World Golf Championship. His clubs didn't arrive until the night before the opening round. Oosthuizen, of course, went on to win a British Open at St. Andrews.
Marc Cayeux of Zimbabwe made his American debut at Firestone in 2005 in a World Golf Championship. Just his luck, he burned a quarter-size hole inside his left hand during a barbecue a week before, showed up at Firestone and was in Woods' group. He was so nervous that he put a range ball got into his bag, and he accidentally put it in play.
At least this was a regular PGA Tour event, and it wasn't the first one for Carballo. Still, it was quite a way to start the week.
He said he was nervous the first shot and the first few holes, but the rest of the day was calm, even with so many people. He was asked what he could take away from being in such a group.
"They don't give away shots,'' Carballo said.

Bitter Business
Bloggers are debating Barack Obama's "bitter" words and wondering about Texan polygamists.
Bitter business: Barack Obama struggled to explain himself this weekend after comments he made about small-town Pennsylvania voters ignited a flap promptly dubbed "Bittergate." (See the original Huffington Post item here.) At issue is Obama's comment that when faced with economic hardship, small-town Americans "get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." Democratic rival Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee-apparent John McCain immediately responded, with Clinton calling the comments "elitist," "demeaning," and "out of touch."
"I don't see how anyone known to have uttered these words can be elected President," says an outraged John Hinderaker at conservative Power Line. Mike Allen at Politico lists"12 reasons 'bitter' is bad for Obama."
But perhaps "Bittergate" is a misnomer. "While the description of small town Pennsylvanians as 'bitter' is certainly impolitic, many political analysts say it's what follows that adjective that is potentially so alienating," saysJake Tapper at ABC News' Political Punch.At Ankle Biting Pundits, Patrick Hynes concurs: "The only other angle the media seems interested in covering is the unfolding drama of how well or how poorly Sen. Obama is handling the crisis," he says. "No one is passing judgment on the content of what he has said; a sure plus for Sen. Obama." And Alan Stewart at Donklephant shifts the discussion to a different adjective: "I don't know how else to interpret the use of the word 'cling' but as condescension. It's a word of pity—we feel sorry for those who have to cling."
Ed Morrisey of conservative Hot Air spells out Obama's real gaffe: "He assumes that gun ownership, religious faith, and a desire to enforce border security grows out of a mental defect or simple petulance. … His cure is a huge, whopping dose of government intervention to replace all of it. That's the hubris, the condescension, and the elitism rolled up into a precise point." Also at Hot Air, Allah Pundit reacts to Obama's admission that "I didn't say it as well as I could have": "If his original statement boiled down to 'religion is the opiate of the masses,' think of this as adding, 'and what wonderful things opiates are.' "
Still, not everyone is mad at Obama. "He's explaining how the American experience has gotten steadily worse because of the bitter partisan battles we've been fighting throughout the last three decades," argues Justin Gardner at Donklephant. "[I]t was bad politics to frame his perfectly banal point in the precise way that he did," allows Obama supporter Scott Lemieux at Lawyers, Guns and Money. "But wealthy urban conservatives and quasi-liberal pundits pretending to be offended on behalf of working-class rural people is a stupid kabuki, as well as considerably more condescending than anything Obama said." Bitter Jonon at the brand-spanking-new Bitter Voters for Obama offers a translation for the confused: "[W]hat Obama was saying is that in times when you can't trust the government, people turn to issues and comforts that they can depend on. Period. Any other interpretation is a failure of comprehension." (And while you're at it, don't forget your "I Am Bitter" T-shirt.)
Steve Benen at the liberal Carpetbagger Report is worried that the long primary process and resultant issues like this are bad for the party. "We now have two dominant forces—the Republican machine and the Clinton machine—simultaneously arguing, vehemently and loudly, that the likely Democratic nominee is an elitist, out-of-touch liberal who doesn't like working families and embraces un-American values."
Read more about the Obama flap. Follow the discussion on Slate's XX Factor. Also in Slate, Mickey Kaus explains the four big problems with Obama's comments.
Yearning for what, now? The raid on a polygamist compound outside Eldorado, Texas, earlier this month continues to spark discussion among bloggers as custody hearings begin this week. In what may be the largest child-welfare case in U.S. history, 416 children were removed from the Yearning for Zion ranch and placed in protective custody. The raid was originally sparked by phone calls from an unidentified 16-year-old girl to a domestic violence hotline reporting sexual and physical abuse by her 50-year-old husband.
"Imagine if everything in our computers, cameras, cell phones, and videotapes were discovered by Martians. That is pretty much what this is: an enormous time capsule of a way of life. I think there will need to be an anthropologist and genealogist and perhaps a few former FLDS folks or religious studies experts called in to make sense of the evidence from this society and what it actually means," says Hari Sreenivasan, a Dallas correspondent for CBS on Couric and Co, writing about the mountains of evidence carted away. Gadfly at the Mountain Moderate, in a no-nonsense post titled "Texas Busts Perverts Utah Wouldn't Touch," writes that the sect members didn't count one thing when they moved to Texas from Utah: "What they didn't figure, though, was that the Texans had no motivation to look the other way … so the Rangers kicked the door in and hauled the kids out." At Nuts & Boalts Patrick, a UC-Berkeley law student, is looking for volunteers to help represent the children.
Not everyone is lining up against the polygamists, though. Scott Henson at Grits for Breakfast, his blog about Texas criminal law, points out that the 16-year-old caller has not been identified and that Texas laws may have unfairly targeted the sect. Madcap at sacrilicio observes, "So the sect told their children that the outside world was 'hostile and immoral' and what does the outside world do? Take them from their homes and families and crowd them into social services facilities, and then threaten to place them with foster families. Say what you will about Joseph Smith and his magic stone goggles, but the sect seems to have nailed at least one prediction."
Commenting on it all at Jezebel, a stunned drunkexpatwriter remarks: "Wow. It sorta makes Scientology look sane."

How to Update Sony Drivers by Myself?
There are a variety of typical warnings and also other messages that you might get in the driver updating procedure, many of which I've paraphrased and listed here together with advice on how to proceed:
There are a variety of frequent alerts as well as other messages that you could get in the driver upgrading procedure, many of which I've paraphrased and right here as well as information on what you can do:
Windows cannot verify that the driver is compatible: If you're sure this driver is the right one, touch or click Yes to continue installing it. If you think you might have the driver for the wrong model or something like that, in which case you should look for other INF files or maybe an entirely different driver download, choose No.
Windows can't verify the publisher of this driver software: If you received it directly from the manufacturer or from their installation disc, choose Yes to continue installing this driver only. If you downloaded the driver elsewhere and didn't exhaust your search for a manufacturer-provided one, choose No.
This driver hasn't been signed: Similarly to the creator verification problem over, choose Yes only when you're confident about the driver's source.
Windows requires a digitally signed driver: In 64-bit versions of Windows, you won't even see the above two messages because Windows won't let you install a driver that has a digital signature issue. If you see this message, end the driver update process and locate the correct driver from the hardware maker's website.
To download and update the driver for SONY VGN-CR520E/L yourself (If you are a geek)
It's best to let Windows install device drivers automatically. But if Windows can't find a driver for your SONY VGN-CR520E/L, you can look for a driver on the manufacturer's website of SONY. Driver updates are often available in the support section of such sites.
Once you find the updated driver, follow the installation instructions on the website. Most drivers are self-installing—after you download them, just double-click the file to begin the installation, and then the driver installs itself on your computer.

Cinderella (US - DVD R1)
After all that nipping and tucking Gabe has no energy to deal with ghosts...
Hyunsu is a teenage girl coddled by her single mother, who happens to be a plastic surgeon. One of Hyunsu's best friends is driven insane and bloodily kills herself after what seems to be a successful chin-tuck. Soon all of Hyunsu's friends are looking into plastic surgery for themselves, and dying mysterious deaths. Hyunsu looks into her own past and discovers a dark secret that ties the violent events together.
South Korea has absorbed many of the Western World's finest assets and achievements, as well as some of its worst habits. Plastic surgery is one of our most nasty habits. Unnecessary medicinal practices of any kind are usually reprehensible, but in the case of simple vanity it's especially depressing, and horrifying. Medicine itself is an upsetting subject, but plastic surgery is an especially upsetting subset, because the psychological implications of Body Dismorphic Disorder are ripe for terror. It's not surprising that Cinderella isn't the first horror movie to exploit the subject, but the fact that it's a Korean made film is interesting from an anthropological standpoint.
The film Cinderella isn't quite as interesting as its subject and culture may indicate, and the real allegory is pretty deeply buried, but it's still a decent scary night at the movies. Like all the Korean films I get in the mail from Tartan Asia Extreme, it has a visual advantage over thrillers from other areas of the Far East. Its images are rich in detail and broad colours, its cinematography unnaturally graceful. But like so many Asian ghost stories it comes down to long, involved set pieces in the dark, simplistic, twisty murder mystery plotting, and creepy looking white-faced girls with long black hair.
The story this time around is an especially disturbing one at its distilled base, though the 'twist' is especially easy to guess at the half-way point, so the big reveal doesn't quite work (not to mention some science defying convolutions). I suppose that the title is an indication of the mid-film events, but I still would rather not give everything away, rest assured it's emotionally icky, and is sold by some outstanding acting from all of our leads. The scares didn't make me jump, but I was really creeped out by the real-life possibilities of the plot.
Minus the supernatural elements, and perhaps told with the twist known from the beginning (or at least earlier), Cinderella could've been a mini-classic, instead it's just a decent addition to an overstuffed sub-genre.
Here's another weird one from Tartan Asia Extreme. The overall image here is decent, and blacks are gorgeously rich. The print seems to deteriorate as the film progresses. Colours become less vibrant, details soften, and noise more constant. Sometimes things turn back towards the better, and the image quality is never awful, but there is an obvious fluctuation in quality. The print is also suffers from a strange ailment I'm not sure I've ever seen before. On my TV, which has slightly rounded corners, I didn't notice that as the film progresses the corners of the frame begin to round. On my screen caps this is clear as day. It's very strange, but didn't affect my viewing experience.
The DTS and Dolby Digital Korean tracks are, as per the usual, almost identical, with the DTS being the louder of the two. Both tracks are solid and impressive. The film isn't full of surround effects, but there is the occasional ghostly rear channel exercise, and the score is quite rich. Cinderella is another in what seems to be a long line of modern Korean motion pictures that have an obsession with the Baroque, in music and imagery. In this case Vivaldi is the art forms most prominent representation, though the film's original music evokes a similar feeling.
The usual Tartan featurette is a little thicker this time around, in both content and runtime. The filmmakers and actors run down the filmmaking process for us, and surprisingly enough this doesn't seem to be an elongated ad for the film. The footage itself is pretty dull, fly-on-the-wall stuff, including a child actor messing up her lines over and over and over, but some of it is amusing, and it gets credit for not being an elongated trailer. Speaking of trailers, a few of those round out the disc.
Not a classic, but a worthy addition to any K-Horror library (if you're the type of person that keeps one of those), Cinderella is well acted, well shot, and its story creepy enough to raise a couple neck hairs. Somewhere around the half way point it becomes an infinitely more interesting film, but still doesn't quite deliver on what could've been a truly and deeply disturbing premise.

The board of Calxeda, the company trying to bring low-power ARM CPUs to the server market, has voted to cease operations in the wake of a failed round of financing. This is completely unsurprising to me, for a few different reasons.
Virtualization is more suited to the needs of IT
Calxeda's view of the world competed directly with server virtualization in many ways. Take HP's Project Moonshot as an example. It is a chassis with hundreds of small ARM-based servers inside it, each provisioned individually or in groups, but with small amounts of memory and disk. The problem is that this sort of model is complicated, fragile, inflexible, and not standards-based. At the end of the day, organizations want none of these things. Calxeda's solution may save an enterprise money by consuming less power, but it spends that money with increased OpEx elsewhere. In contrast, virtualization of larger, more powerful CPUs is more flexible on nearly every level, reduces the amount of hardware an enterprise must manage, and can help contain both capital and operational expenses while solving actual problems.
There are diminishing performance returns in extreme multi-core applications
Originally stated to convey the increasing value of a network as more nodes joined, another way Metcalfe's Law can be expressed is that the communications overhead in a network grows as the square of the number of nodes in that network. This is also true in multi-threaded applications, where the amount of interprocess communication, locking, and other administrative work to coordinate hundreds of threads ends up consuming more CPU time than the actual computational work. Calxeda's vision of hundreds of CPU cores in a single system was ambitious, and needed computer science and the whole industry to catch up to it. Enterprises don't want research projects, so they choose fewer, faster cores and got their work done.
A limited enterprise market for non-x64 architectures
ARM isn't x86/x64, so while there are increasing numbers of ARM-based Linux OS distributions, mostly thanks to the immense popularity of hobbyist ARM boards like Raspberry Pi and the BeagleBoard, none are commercially supported, which is a prerequisite for enterprises. On the Windows side there is Windows RT, which runs on 32-bit ARM CPUs, but it is generally regarded as lacking features and underpowered compared to other Atom-powered x86 devices that run full installations of Windows 8. Windows RT isn't a server OS, either, and there is very little third-party software for it due to the complexity of developing for the platform and the lack of ROI for a developer's time and money. Why put up with all the complexity and limitations of a different architecture when you can get a low-power x86-compatible Atom CPU and a real version of Windows?
A limited market for 32-bit CPUs
On the server front, which is what Calxeda was targeting, enterprises have been consuming 64-bit architectures since the release of AMD's Opteron CPUs in 2003. Ten years later, the idea of using 32-bit CPUs seems incredibly backward. Even embedded systems want to have more than 4 GB of RAM on them, which is the maximum possible on 32-bit CPUs. On the mobile front, where ARM has had the most impact, Dan Lyons has a recent article about how Apple's 64-bit A7 chip has mobile CPU vendors in a panic. Now, in order to compete with Apple, a handset maker wants a 64-bit chipset. Calxeda had a 64-bit CPU in the works, but it's too far out to be useful in either market.
I've never really seen the point behind the "more smaller machines" movement, and I'm interpreting the end of Calxeda as evidence supporting my position. I'm sure there are specialized cases out there that make sense for these architectures, but the extreme limitations of the platform are just too much in the x64-dominated world of IT. In the end, Calxeda focused too tightly on specific problems, and in doing so ignored both the larger problems of the enterprise and the changes in the computing landscape that ultimately made them irrelevant.

This is the restored periscope binocular typical of devices used for Cold War-era observation along the Berlin Wall. Known as the Richtungsweiser-Doppelfernrohr 10x50, it was crafted between 1956-1958 in former West Germany by Carl Zeiss Oberkochen, the renowned optics pioneer credited with first implementing multi-coated lenses for providing superior clarity. Purchased by the Bundeswehr in 1960, the periscope was originally painted military green and mounted (sans tripod) on armored reconnaissance vehicles while the tripod version is believed to have been used in watch towers and other locations in the vicinity of the Berlin Wall and along the Inner German border. Providing surreptitious surveillance, the periscope's use denied those being observed from observing the observer-a common tactic employed by both sides. A graticule in the left eyepiece reveals it is a descendant of the original Scherenfernrohr (or "donkey ears" binoculars), first produced by Zeiss in 1894 and later used extensively during both World Wars to provide accurate azimuth and range estimation for artillery spotting. As the Scherenfenrohr required constant re-adjustment when either of its "ears" were moved, Zeiss perfected the original design after WWII by enshrouding both 50mm objective lenses in a single protective enclosure, ensuring reliable, clear images and continuing the company's penchant for innovation. Twin sets of Abbe-Koenig image erecting prisms and relay lenses provide the same remarkable clarity and perception of depth as they did 50 years ago. With 10x magnification, the eyepieces adjust for interpupillary distance and provide 1/2" eye relief, just like a pair of precision binoculars. The tripod (available in all-aluminum when the original oak tripod is not available) has a built-in level that provides precise balance and adjustment using brass-capped micrometer screws.

I just completed my first run in Eiyuu Densetsu: Zero no Kiseki for the PSP. Although my jp. knowledge was very much inferior to follow the story smoothly, thanks to wikis and a brief summary I was able to still get the general jist. Anyway, the last chapter had quite a few very exciting moments. The scene after the last battle was very moving and made me actually tear up a bit
As I don't really feel like playing all of it again 2+ times for a more or less "perfect" clear data, I just loaded a complete savegame + system file in order to start the sequel Ao no Kiseki.
Randomly, I also play Guild Wars 2, but with upcoming exams + Zero no Kiseki and friends, GW2 has had no chance to keep me interested since ~ Christmas last year (as I played GW2 more often before christmas holidays at university started)

Since I was out in New York City for two days and didn't have internet, I got farther in Atelier Totori Plus with some more vigorous on the fly translating (which is why my playtime is pretty high). Somehow, I manage to earn the extension a year early before the adventurer's license renewal requirement. Now I have to finish some endings so at least I get a normal ending instead of getting stuck with a bad one after Year 5. Once I beat the game, possibly it will unlock more DLC goodies included in the game... I already have the ability to have Cordelia and Iksel join the team already, but not Cecilia yet.
Aside from that, I preordered Tales of Hearts R for the Vita since the yen depreciated, thus made the game a bit more affordable although it still costs a bundle compared to American releases. Still debating on whether or not to order the Vita version of Atelier Meruru. Probably will since I will have frequent shopping points I have to use and downloading the DLC for the American version will probably cost a good amount of money. Besides, I use my portables more than my regular consoles these days. Also, there is Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity I want to play too... so yeah, March is a busy month probably.

I completely forgot that I still have Tales of Vesperia sitting on my 360 hard drive to finish so I've been doing that this weekend. The game has a lot of charm and I'm starting to get used to the english dub (which is actually quite decent) but I just can't seem to get into the combat system. I'm more of a turn-based fan than real time. The only "real-time" jRPG combat system I've enjoyed so far was Eternal Sonata but Vesperia isn't particularly helping the case. Maybe Tales of Graces F (which is sitting on my todo pile) will be the one.
Speaking of Eternal Sonata: oh how I enjoyed that one. I even bought it for both 360 and PS3 and sort-of completed both versions. I'm stuck at the "final" boss on the PS3 version currently because I'm under-levelled. I can deal with mobs more than good enough because skill helps quite a bit in that game but the end boss is a different story all together. I would even go as far as saying that the additions made to the PS3 version and the slight levelling tweaks to accompany them made the game just a tiny bit harder to play. I went from overpowered to underpowered in an instant due to one of the added dungeons.

I have been playing Bayonetta pretty much none stop for the past two days, made me realize how much I have missed the hack and slash style games. They give a real challenge well still being passable once you get the hang of it. It is a shame that the whole genre has pretty much been at a stand still recently except for a few devoted franchises. Might go and get the Devil My Cry Collection or Ninja Gaiden 2 (since 3 doesn't exist )
Before Bayonetta though, I just finished Mass Effect 3 and all of its glory. Honestly, I don't see what the big deal about the ending was, I thought the ending of the series was fine. I will admit, before I downloaded the Director's Cut the ending felt somewhat short and broken but it was still pretty satisfying.

Finally...finished...Catherine. (well atleast my first playthrough) It's been a while since I was actually "challenged" by a game. I couldn't get past day 6 so I had to swallow my pride and switch the difficulty to "Easy"...and I still had a fairly hard time.
Got the Normal ending for Katherine, not planning to start a new playthrough anytime soon but when I do then it shouldn't be too bad. Though I doubt I'll ever get the Platinum trophy for this game.
But all the work was totally worth it because of Wakamoto Norio's acting. The VA cast including him is just awesome, it was the reason I picked up the game in the first place.
Also finishing up FFIX. At the final dungeon, I might go back to fight Ozma. Gave up on ever getting the Excalibur II.
Also went back to playing Fate/EXTRA...mainly to go over the story again for the upcoming release of CCC...which has been pushed back another month into March. orz. Though I guess it's not a Type-Moon game until the release date gets pushed back right? LOL. Though I'm assuming that the delay this time is probably because of the figma figure for the limited edition.
Got no plans of new games until March and April. Kami-sama to Unmei Kakumei no Paradox coming out later this month is a MAYBE on my list.

I played Spec Ops: The Line on Sunday and finished it in one night. But I still feel shell-shocked and unable to do much after it...this is the emotional, moral punch that has been missing from gaming and media in general for me.
A couple of weeks ago I picked up Bastion. Best indie game I've ever come across. Rucks (aka voiced by Logan Cunningham) is the epitome of narration for me.

Finished the first playthrough of Atelier Meruru and managed to get about 101000 population and Rank VIII. Not too shabby, although I missed alot since I did a good amount of inefficient things... However, I managed to see Keina's, Mimi's and Rorona's ending event scenes and got trophy's for them. Oh well, second try will be better... and I will most likely get the port since they are adding even more content to it.

Mostly still Tekken TAG Tournament 2 [PS3] for learning more characters and finding more combo setups. Currently having fun with Jinpachi
And thanks to new contents, I also back to play Gran Turismo 5 [PS3] for the new and free DLC of 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Final Prototype. The second one is Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012) [PC] for the ultimate speed pack DLC. Too bad I only like 2 of the new cars. The new events are nice, though.

You won't mind picking up after comet Tempel-Tuttle
The young crescent moon appears in the southwest at twilight Thursday and Friday, with ruddy Mars a half-dozen degrees to the east the first night and to the southwest the next. Through the weekend the waxing moon sets well before midnight, providing a dark backdrop for the annual Leonid meteor shower.
This year's Leonids should be most active before dawn Saturday, November 17, but you might well see meteors a couple days before and after. The meteors look as if they come from the constellation Leo, which rises around 1am, arcs up and to the west to stand high in the south around 6am. As a rule of thumb, the higher Leo is in the sky, the more meteors you're likely to see.
Each year around this time in its orbit around the sun, Earth crosses the path of another orbiter, comet Tempel-Tuttle. Like a bad tourist, comets leave a mess in their wake, tiny bits of dust, dirt and ice. As Earth plows through this trail of debris, the pieces hitting our atmosphere burst into flames. Some years, Earth's crossing point is more densely riddled with debris, leading to more meteors.
The Leonids follow a pretty predictable 33-year cycle. The last big meteor storm — with upward of 100 an hour — was in 2001. This year, with clear skies you can expect to see roughly a dozen meteors an hour and maybe a burst of 20 or more at a peak hour. The Leonids are fast-moving, crossing the celestial dome in the blink of an eye.
While you're looking for meteors, Jupiter will keep you company. Rising an hour after sunset, Old Jove is high in the south at 1am and above the western horizon a couple hours before dawn. At that time, brighter Venus is rising in the east and climbing fast. This so-called Morning Star passes the actual star Spica the morning of the 18th and then sets its sights on Saturn, just now escaping the sun's glare. Watch the two planets close the gap over the next 10 days.

On his first trip to the Deep South to work as an itinerant painter, George Fuller (1822-1884) of Deerfield, Massachusetts, commented in his diary of seeing "negroes" at work and in leisure time. In the first entry selected here, Fuller appears stunned that among the "negroes" he witnessed being baptized, one was so white he "could not detect the dark shade." Seen as mere property, thousands of slave women were raped by their owners and overseers, resulting in many children of mixed race. Laws throughout the South, however, ruled that regardless of a child's parentage, if the mother was a slave, so too would be her offspring.

Prairie Avenue Bookshop to close Monday at 6 p.m.; a sale remains possible
Chicago's great architectural bookstore, the Prairie Avenue Bookshop, will close its doors at the end of business on Monday, August 31, but the owners are holding out hope that the bookshop can be sold to a buyer who would move it to a new location in Chicago.
"We've sold most of the books," co-owner Wilbert Hasbrouck said in a telephone interview. Deep discounts helped the store dramatically reduce its inventory, from tens of thousands of books to "several thousand," he said. Rare books have been wrapped up and will be sold at auction.
Hasbrouck declined to identity the potential buyer, with whom talks remain in progress, he said. A sale isn't likely to occur before the store closes its doors for the last time at 6 p.m. Monday.
It's a strange day for the bookshop, located at 418 S. Wabash Ave. and in operation for nearly 50 years, to close. Hasbrouck and his wife Marilyn, the bookshop's co-owner, are celebrating their 51st wedding anniversary Monday.
Here's my story from July detailing the bookshop's history and the reasons it's closing.

Sesame Workshop, Early Years and the Future of Northern Irish Early Education
Since 2008 Sesame Tree, Sesame Workshop's co-production in Northern Ireland, has been encouraging the children of Northern Ireland to appreciate both the similarities and differences that exist in their society and respect the feelings of other children, no matter their cultural background. We're excited to announce that Early Years, a Sesame Tree outreach partner, has received a grant from Northern Ireland's Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure (DCAL) that will allow the organization to use Sesame Tree-based materials to further our mutual educational goals.
Over the next month, Early Years will help build the infrastructure necessary to make the Sesame Tree program, materials and training resources sustainable in Northern Ireland. Early Years, the largest volunteer organization in Northern Ireland that works with children ages 0-12, will establish a Project Advisory Group made up of leaders from the worlds of education and culture, integrate Sesame Tree materials into its core training activities, and explore further ways the Sesame Tree curriculum can be integrated into cultural institutions and the organizations outreach efforts.
The DCAL is not the only organization that has recognized the impact of Sesame Tree on the lives of Northern Irish children. The show is also a finalist for the prestigious Prix Jeunesse International Prize 2012 in the category of fiction for children up to the age of 6. The award is given to a children's show that "enables children to see, hear and express themselves and their culture, and that enhances an appreciation and awareness of other cultures."
Sesame Workshop, Early Years and our Belfast-based production partner Sixteen South are excited that the show is being recognized for its positive influence on the lives of Northern Irish children and that it will be able to continue to encourage those children to celebrate their differences, rather than let them drive each other apart.

One bicyclist's take on nutrition
Most of us who bicycle or walk do it, at least in part, for our health. Even those whose primary motivation is economic appreciate the health benefits. Perhaps your favorite jeans fit better, you notice the flight of stairs doesn't leave you quite as breathless, and you discover muscles that had been hiding away. You find yourself thinking about the next logical step to better health: your diet. (Well, for many of us, the next step is to quit or cut back on smoking and drinking, but after that comes diet.)
At least, that's my rationalization for going a little off-topic today, from bicycling and walking to nutrition.
Everyone seems to be an expert in nutrition or at least has an opinion. I'm no different. Here's my well researched, if not truly expert, take on the topic.
For decades, nutrition dogma was simple: Fat and sweets are bad. Protein and carbs are good.
Then the low-carb diet craze hit. Atkins, South Beach, Paleo, Low Carb. Eat all the meat and fat you want, but no carbs. No sugar, no sweets, no bread, no potatoes, no rice. Lots of weight-loss studies were done, many with the intent of discrediting the crazy new fads. But surprisingly, they showed the opposite. Maybe there's something to this low-carb thing after all.
Truman professor and nutrition expert Dr. Brian Snyder sums it up: "Earn your carbs." The more active you are and the more calories you burn, the more carbs you can eat. Or you can be sedentary, avoid carbs, and maintain better health (but not, of course, as healthy as if you were active).
He's not against carbs. Carbohydrate-rich foods exploded into our diet when agriculture was invented. These crops allowed our population to expand and they sustain our population. Without carb-rich crops, most of the 7 billion people on this planet wouldn't survive.
But for the sedentary individual, carbs—especially simple carbs like sugar—are unnecessary and promote chronic illness.
Gary Taubes, author of "Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It", covers the general concepts underlying the low-carb diets and explains the politics behind the vilification of fat.
He also questions salt in a New York Times article, "Salt, We Misjudged You". As I have discovered, replenishing salt while sweating is just as important as replenishing water. Salt has been reviled because it is thought to cause hypertension, but more recent research challenges assumptions about the negative health consequences of salt.
In my own personal food philosophy, refined sugar and corn syrup (particularly HFCS, high fructose corn syrup) are the villains. Soda is "liquid poison".
The great thing about my food philosophy is that just about every diet agrees with me, from vegan and macrobiotic to Paleo. (By the way, "Paleo" is a complete misnomer. There is literally nothing in our grocery store that resembles anything paleo-era humans ate. Everything has been domesticated, bred, hybridized, and engineered beyond recognition. I'm not for or against the diet, but it is wrongly named. Furthermore, I completely appreciate agriculture, with some concerns about the lack of variety being a potential vulnerability to disease and the social repercussions of Monsanto vs. the small farmer.)
Because HFCS is in everything, if you eliminate that from your diet, you automatically eliminate processed foods. You make your own food and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables--another common tenet of every diet is unlimited fresh fruits and vegetables.
Unfortunately, quitting sugar and HFCS is hard. I know, because I've done it dozens of times.
By the way, we get hammered with the "diet and exercise" message when it comes to our health, but more and more research suggests that there is a third leg that is equally important: sleep. In fact, it is easier to get a handle on diet and exercise if you tackle sleep first and focus on being well rested.

(Lamar University press release)
The Texas Institute of Letters has honored Jim Sanderson, professor and chair in Lamar University's Department of English and Modern Languages, with the Kay Cattarulla Award for short-story writing.
The institute – considered the most prestigious literary organization in Texas – presented the award Saturday, April 6, at its annual meeting in San Marcos. The award recognizes the best short story written by a Texan or about Texas.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

Corn futures plunged to a three- year low after the U.S. Department of Agriculture boosted its inventory estimate by 25%. Soybeans dropped the most in six months as supplies topped analyst estimates by 11%.
Stockpiles of corn on Sept. 1 were 824 million bushels, the USDA said today in a report. That compared with the agency's estimate of 661 million on Sept. 12. Analysts in a Bloomberg News survey last week expected 694 million, on average. Soybean inventories were 141 million bushels, and a gauge of demand tumbled 41% in the three months ended Aug. 31 from a year earlier.
Corn has tumbled 37% in 2013, the biggest drop among 24 raw materials in the Standard & Poor's GSCI Spot Index, amid forecasts for a record crop. Demand for the U.S. grain fell the most since 1975 in the past year. The nation is the world's top grower.
"The market is going to be dealing with big corn supplies for the next year, and that's going to limit rallies," Dale Durchholz, the senior market analyst at AgriVisor LLC in Bloomington, Illinois, said in a telephone interview.
Corn futures dropped 2.8% to close at $4.415 a bushel at 1:15 p.m. on the Chicago Board of Trade. Earlier, the price touched $4.4075, the lowest for a most-active contract since Sept. 1, 2010.
On Sept. 12, the USDA estimated soybean inventories at 125 million. Last week, 28 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg News projected 127 million, on average. The U.S. is the top producer.
Harvest Accelerates
"Supplies are a little bigger than people expected," Randy Mittelstaedt, the director of research at R.J. O'Brien & Associates in Chicago, said in a telephone interview. "Without a bullish surprise, the market is under pressure with the harvest coming very quickly. Yields collected so far have been better than expected, and now we'll wait to see what happens to the crops that were planted late because of the flooding."
Soybean futures for November delivery fell 2.8% to $12.8275 a bushel, the biggest drop since March 28. Earlier, the oilseed touched $12.80, the lowest since Aug. 19. The price has dropped 9% this year.
The USDA earlier this month predicted a record corn harvest of 13.843 billion bushels, 28% above last year, signaling lower costs for livestock feed. The agency will update its projections for crops on Oct. 11.
Cheaper corn is boosting profit for Archer-Daniels-Midland Co., which makes ethanol from the grain, and Sanderson Farms Inc., the third-largest U.S. poultry producer.
Wheat futures for December delivery fell 0.7% to $6.785 a bushel. The price rose in the previous five sessions, the longest rally since mid-March. The grain has dropped 13% this year.
Corn is the biggest U.S. crop, followed by soybeans, hay and wheat, USDA data show.

EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Long a subject of fascination for passers-by, the futuristic Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University is itself a contemporary work of art.
With its angular facade of pleated stainless steel and glass, the 46,000-square-foot structure dubbed "the spaceship" by students and visitors alike sits in stark contrast to the red brick, Collegiate Gothic-style buildings that surround it at the East Lansing campus.
The look of the Broad (pronounced BROHD) is the brainchild of Zaha Hadid, the Iraqi-born, Pritzker Prize-winning architect who designed the aquatic center for the London Olympics and currently is at work on dozens of projects around the world.
While the $40 million building features Hadid's unique imprint, it owes its very existence to its namesake benefactors.
Eli Broad, a Los Angeles billionaire and Michigan State graduate, and his wife, Edythe, have given millions to fund art museums and exhibitions in southern California.
But when he was approached a number of years ago by Michigan State President Lou Anna Simon about the idea of expanding the campus' Kresge Art Museum, Eli Broad said he "encouraged (Simon) to think about something bigger."
The Broads made a commitment of $26 million (later increased to $28 million), Simon found the land along Grand River and a design competition began, resulting in the selection of Hadid's firm.
Five years later, the Broad MSU became a reality this past weekend when it was formally dedicated and opened its doors to the public for the first time.
The three-level structure includes gallery space for special exhibitions, modern and contemporary art, new media, photography and works on paper. Other features include an education wing, a works on paper study center, shop and café. Adjacent to the museum is an outdoor sculpture garden and a pedestrian plaza.
The Broad inherited a 7,500-piece art collection from the Kresge Art Museum, including works from pre-Columbian, Greek and Roman eras through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, but the art on display will be "largely contemporary," said director Michael Rush.
The historic art collection provides context for the newer works, providing for "dialogues between the contemporary and the very ancient," Rush said. "We're able now ... to examine the meaning of art throughout the centuries."
The inaugural exhibitions and displays include works from Salvador Dali, Andy Warhol and others.
Particularly striking is an installation by Chinese-born artist Chen Qiulin that features half a dozen papier-mâché bodies suspended by wires, some of which slowly spin in a circular motion, and "Red Factor," a Buckminster Fuller-inspired parachute sculpture from Inigo Manglano-Ovalle that is suspended by cable in the 32-feet-high portion of a northwest gallery on the first floor.
Broad calls the museum "an architectural masterpiece that will propel this university and this region far into the future." An economic study predicted the museum will attract up to 150,000 visitors from around the world and pump millions of dollars into the regional economy every year.

Bruning supports irrigators
For the last 20 plus years, irrigating producers across this state have faced a number of challenges beyond their control, like drought and spikes in fuel prices. But the most serious threat to irrigators has been from the anti-irrigation coalition of environmental groups, certain legislators and out-of-control federal agencies. Starting with efforts to stop groundwater irrigation in the 90s up to the reckless and uninformed efforts this year to shut down groundwater irrigation, one person has stood with Nebraska irrigators in each of these fights: Jon Bruning.
Whether standing up for agriculture as a state senator or defending multiple lawsuits from Kansas and irrigation opponents, Jon Bruning has always answered the call to defend irrigation. And he has done so without sacrificing water resources: During his tenure as attorney general, Nebraska solidified its position as the national leader in irrigated acres, while maximizing efficiency that resulted in Nebraska being the only state where the Ogallala Aquifer, on average, has actually risen since groundwater development began.
This year the anti-irrigation advocates pushing LB1074 cleverly used code words like "sustainability" and "sacrifice" when trying to undo irrigated agriculture in the state. Some amendments would have outlawed groundwater irrigation altogether. But Jon Bruning stood with the NRDs and Farm Bureau and when it was time to say "enough is enough" Jon Bruning and Governor Heineman drew a line in the sand and stopped the assault against irrigation.
Other candidates offer a plan on what they will do as governor—plans that use anti-irrigation code words like "sustainability" and "sacrifice." But Jon Bruning has already proven he will protect our ability to continue to irrigate and drive Nebraska's economy forward while maintaining Nebraska's national role in preserving groundwater.
We know the threats to irrigators won't go away and we know Jon Bruning will be there to fight for us against new challenges. That's why Jon Bruning should be the next governor of Nebraska.

This antibody was raised by a genetic immunization technique. Genetic immunization can be used to generate antibodies by directly delivering antigen-coding DNA into the animal, rather than injecting a protein or peptide (Tang et al. PubMed: 1545867; Chambers and Johnston PubMed 12910245; Barry and Johnston PubMed: 9234514). The animal's cells produce the protein, which stimulates the animal's immune system to produce antibodies against that particular protein. A vector coding for a partial fusion protein was used for genetic immunisation of a mouse and the resulting serum was tested in Western blot against an E.coli lysate containing that partial fusion protein. Genetic immunization offers enormous advantages over the traditional protein-based immunization method. DNA is faster, cheaper and easier to produce and can be produced by standard techniques readily amenable to automation. Furthermore, the antibodies generated by genetic immunization are usually of superior quality with regard to specificity, affinity and recognizing the native protein.

Big 12 Campus Correspondent
Growing up, children have a range of career plans that tend to change frequently as time goes on. For West Virginia University sophomore women's basketball player Averee Fields, a specific career path has always been front and center in her mind.
The Murray, Ky., native always envisioned a future with children and chose to major in social work with a minor in psychology when she made her way to Morgantown to not only fulfill her goal of playing Division I basketball, but also to fulfill her goal of becoming a social worker and foster mom for children in need.
"There is such a need for good foster care homes," Fields said. "A lot of people do it for the money and don't think about the kids. I really want to care for the kids who live in unfortunate homes and need a place for their parents to get back on their feet. Ultimately, I want to be a foster mother, but wherever God leads me, I'm just excited."
The 6-foot forward admitted that her dreams of working with children began at a very early age and were influenced greatly by her mom, involvement in her church and the passion seen in a certain television show.
"Since I was young I've always had a love for kids," Fields said. "I remember my mom loves to tell the story that I once told her, I wanted to buy some kids and she said, 'Averee don't say that!' because you're supposed to adopt. Even when I was younger I've always had that need and have come in contact with a lot of foster kids and kids that have been in the system. Even watching a show called Judging Amy, I know it sounds silly, but she was a social worker and I've always felt called to do that and help kids in bad situations."
Fields grew up around the game of basketball from a very early age as her mother Sabrina Hooper was an assistant coach at the collegiate level. When it came time to switch career paths, Fields saw firsthand the dedication her mom put into becoming the Deputy Director for the Tennessee Human Rights Commission.
"I think it is awesome because it wasn't her first option," Fields said. "She obviously wanted to coach, but she worked her way up to being the director and I think it's awesome to watch her. She got her master's by the time she was 40 and that was a big deal for her. Seeing how she is so determined and dedicated really shows me that I can do anything I want to do. It's definitely great to see her in such a high position and just how far she's come."
Taking what has been instilled in her from an early age, Fields has used that drive in the classroom where she has received many accolades in only a few short semesters at WVU.
"Averee is an extremely organized and conscientious student," said assistant director of student-athlete academic services Stephanie White. "She goes above and beyond as a student within the classroom, holds herself to a high standard and constantly works to maintain her 4.0 GPA.
"She establishes positive relationships with her instructors to make sure she maximizes her learning experiences. Professors love having Averee in class and typically express that to me if I am ever in contact with them."
With a season-ending injury to starter Asya Bussie in preseason practice, the WVU coaching staff did not have to look far for a replacement. The tenacity that Fields has displayed day in and day out, propelled her into the lineup as the forward has started every game thus far for the Mountaineers and is averaging 21 minutes, 6.0 points and 4.1 rebounds per game.
"First of all, Averee comes from a great family and is great person," West Virginia University women's basketball coach Mike Carey said. "What she brings to the team is that she is consistent, she is always ready to go, she is always ready to play and always has a positive attitude. Whether she is playing well or not playing well, she is always positive, always encouraging other people. Now a lot of players won't do that. If they are not playing well, they do not encourage anybody. But because of the type of person she is, she will encourage and she is just such a great person.
"It is great to have somebody like that on the team. She does a lot of the dirty work. She will take charges, dive on the floor, get a big rebound, get a big bucket or do whatever we need her to do for us to be successful."
As the West Virginia University women's basketball team traveled with children around a local store for the Angel Tree Project, Fields could not contain her excitement over the team's involvement in helping the Morgantown community during the holiday season.
Following the event, Fields posted on Facebook, "Today was so rewarding. Seeing a smile on a child's face might be the closest thing to heaven. I am so thankful for people and schools that reach out and bless the needy and I'm thankful I had the opportunity to be a part of it all."
From her involvement in the community to her place in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and the role she plays as a part of the Mountaineer squad, Fields sets high goals and dreams that she is constantly working to achieve.

Company lawyer says contract offer has been explained.
American Crystal Sugar Co. officials say the company's chief executive officer will not be attending a proposed meeting with locked-out union workers.
The union has invited Crystal Sugar CEO Dave Berg to an Aug. 16 gathering that union negotiator Steven Bertelli on Wednesday described as an "informative, constructive discussion that could contribute to productive negotiations."
In a letter posted on the Crystal website, a lawyer for the company says the issues have been outlined in 21 negotiating sessions and a public meeting will not resolve the dispute.
About 1,300 workers have been locked out of their jobs for more than a year at facilities in Minnesota, North Dakota and Iowa.
The union says the contract offer is unfair, particularly on seniority and job security, and voted against it three times.

Case Study
What would you do with this business?
We just published a case study about Eatwhatever, a recent entrant in the crowded, billion dollar breath mint industry. Begun by Jacqui Rosshandler in 2008 when she was in her mid-20s, her one-woman start-up took off quickly. Her energy and youthful slogan — 2 Steps for Kissable Breath — helped land a buzz-building mention on Daily Candy's main page. She talked her way into New York retail outlets like C.O. Bigelow, Ricky's, Joe Coffee and the specialty department store Zitomer.
But without mainstream distribution, especially to drugstore chains, sales languished. With capital dwindling, Ms. Rosshandler found herself in late 2011 about to run out of inventory — and with no way to pay for another production run at her contract manufacturer or a big marketing push. Banks and venture capitalists turned her down. Then an industry-wise savior appeared. Arthur Shorin, a former chief executive of the Topps Company, took a shine to her distinctive two-part breath fresher — a swallowable gel cap and suckable mint chaser. Mr. Shorin promised candy industry expertise and contacts, an immediate infusion of capital and as much as a quarter of a million dollars to follow. But in return, he wanted 75 percent of the company. Ms. Rosshandler would retain 25 percent and could earn back another 15 percent by meeting certain benchmarks over the next three years.

Grand Jury Meets In OKC Mother's Slaying

Grand Jury Meets In OKC Mother's Slaying
No Arrests Made
The state's multi-county grand jury will continue hearing evidence in the case of a slain metro mother.
Julie Mitchell was found dead last November in her Northwest Oklahoma City home. Police have still not made an arrest in the case.
Several witnesses and family friends have been called to testify.
Mitchell's husband, Teddy, and his three sons have also previously testified. They were taken off the witness list earlier this week.
Mitchell's father, Harvey Bryant, was called to testify on Thursday.
"If anybody has any information, I plead with you, come forth and help us. There is a $50,000 reward. I'd like to get to the bottom of it," Bryant told KOCO Eyewitness News 5 on Thursday.
The grand jury will continue the hearing later this month.

This is BG-178, a poster and postcard created for a series of shows during one week in June of 1969 at the Fillmore West in San Francisco. It's noteworthy for a bunch a of reasons.
First, this was artist David Singer's first image for Bill Graham. Singer went on to create 60+more images for Graham concerts, including the famous Tumbling Dice poster for the Rolling Stones's 1972 Winterland shows (Stevie Wonder opened).
Second, look at the list of acts! On June 17, 18, and 19, A.B Skhy with the great Howard Wales behind the Hammond B3 opened, followed by Woody-freakin'-Herman and his Orchestra. The Who headlined. "Tommy" had been released a month before, so guess what they were playing on that tour?
That's what was happening at the corner of Van Ness and Market on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. On Friday June 20, Santana was the headliner, with support from The Impressions and Blues Image. On Saturday and Sunday, June 21 and 22, Ike and Tina Tuner topped the bill. Not a bad week of music.
Third, this copy of the postcard is signed by Singer.
I like the calendar on the back, especially the announcement about the summer basketball game schedule, and it looks like B.B. King played the Fillmore West two weeks in a row in July.
