The effort to stop construction, the latest in a series of attempts by various parties, was described as an effort to force Metropolitan Council to expedite a study analyzing adverse business impact during the line's installation.
Judge Donovan Frank mandated the study two years ago, but in an updated ruling found planners to be offering available data in good faith, though not to the degree that had been hoped. Met Council and the Federal Transit Administration say a draft of the required study should be available by year's end, with public hearing sessions to follow.
Businesses involved in protesting the lack of data continue to claim a severe loss of revenue. Although Met Council has provided some fiscal compensation for some businesses, those entities claim the compensation remains inadequate at best.
For its part, Met Council representatives repeatedly have noted that heavy construction of the route, now also called the Green Line, will essentially be completed by the end of the year, reducing disruption considerably.
The 11-mile, $957 million line is slated to begin revenue operation in 2014, linking downtown St. Paul and downtown Minneapolis along Washington and University avenues via the state Capitol and the University of Minnesota. The line will connect with the existing Hiawatha LRT line at the Metrodome station in Minneapolis, offering connections as well to Northstar commuter rail service at Target Field Station, also in Minneapolis.
Previous objections to the line's construction were raised by Minnesota Public Radio (MPR) and the University of Minnesota.

I was looking for a school near my hometown and was also interested in the hands-on nature of the coursework offered here at Oregon Tech. After finishing my undergraduate degree here at Oregon Tech, I decided that graduate school was my next challenge and the masters in Manufacturing Engineering Technology sounded like a great option, as well as a very marketable addition to my education.
My current program is great because of its highly project-oriented curriculum. Yes, there is also theory and analysis to back it up but I find that I learn a lot on projects where we implement and verify the theory that is taught to us during lecture. In addition to this, the faculty here at Oregon Tech are very helpful in driving the students to do better and do a great job of presenting the material in a manner that is both informative and interesting.
My ultimate dream is to start my own company to design/manufacture high end bicycles or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (better yet, both!) utilizing advanced composite materials.
Ride my mountain bike on the local Klamath Falls trails or the rest of the great riding located in Southern Oregon.
Graduating with my fellow classmates after years of hard work and dedication!

Lil Big Screen: Fly Me To the Moon
Lil Big Screen: Fly Me To The Moon
I remember my parents telling me where they were when Apollo 11 landed on the moon and Neil Armstrong uttered his famous, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Generations of children won't have the advantage of a first hand account. Luckily, Fly Me To The Moon is a 3D animated film that will educate kids for years to come as it tells the story of the lunar landing from a fly's perspective. To see why you should take your child to see this flick,
Centered around a fly named Nat who dreams of being the first fly to land on the moon, the movie allows viewers to see the bug make it a reality after he and his best friends sneak into the astronauts' spacesuits and hitch a ride. Back on earth, Nat's mother, voiced by Kelly Ripa, must overcome her fear of letting her son go in order to celebrate his achievement. Along the way, the flies are faced with a number of obstacles, including fly swatters and bug spray.
Though the movie's story is familiar, and the subplots are all predictable to the adults in the audience, the animation is hard to beat. The film's producers are billing it as the first of its kind and it is a sight to see. Unlike the movies of our youth, the images actually leave the screen – you can almost taste drops of orange juice poured from a container and an American flag literally waves in your face. If you're looking for an educational and entertaining family field trip, this flick fits the bill.

Ok. I am writing a program that tells your fortune.
What it does is a random number generator makes a number, then from a data file full of fortunes, it picks the line corresponding with the number. What I can't get it to do is to tell the function for reading the file (ReadFile) what the random number is.
Here is my code:
fyi: I'm programming this in textbased telnet linux.
#include <iostream.h>
#include <fstream.h>
#include <time.h>
#include "home/ampalfe/APClasses/apstring.h"
// Global Constants
const int NUM = 0;
// Function Prototypes
int Numbergenerator();
apstring ReadFile ( NUM );
int main()
cout<<" ----The Super Fortune Teller----"<<endl<<endl;
cout<<" warning: all fortunes generated that come true are purely
coincidental and do not reflect the ability of our staff
or this generator."<< endl;
cout<<" Now.... To recieve your fortune<<endl<<endl<<endl<<endl;
cout<< "This is your fortune.........."<<endl;
ReadFile( NUM );
int Numbergenerator()
srand ( unsigned (time(0)));
NUM = rand()%2;
return NUM;
apstring ReadFile(NUM)
ifstream inFile("/home/ampalfe/Game/Fortunes.stuff");
getline( inFile, NUM);
return apstring;
any help would be apreciated. Thanks
edit:: oops, I forgot to tell you how the data file is set up.....
1 You will eat a lot today
2 You will be attracted to a co worker today
3 don't go outside, the weather is bad
Thanks again

G6PD Deficiency Genetics
To better understand glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, it helps to understand a little about genetics.
DNA is the genetic material that largely determines our health. It is present in every cell in the body.
DNA is stored in string-like structures, known as chromosomes, inside the nucleus of cells. Each human has 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes. The majority of them are identified by the numbers, 1 through 22. The first 22 pairs of chromosomes are called autosomes: they do not determine our gender.
Sex Chromosomes
The letters X and Y represents the last pair of chromosomes. The last two chromosomes are called sex chromosomes, because they determine our gender. Females have two X chromosomes in every cell, while males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. The X and Y chromosomes contain portions that do not match.
Chromosomes contain thousands of genes. Genes act as codes, or templates, that determine the structure of the body's essential building blocks: enzymes, proteins, hormones, etc.
An abnormality in any one chromosome, or a single gene, can result in disease. Tiny abnormalities in a single gene (or collection of genes) can cause an illness, or increase our risk for a certain disease. These abnormalities are referred to as mutations.
If the mutation is on the X-chromosome, it is an X-linked disorder. Most X-linked disorders only affect males, because the unmatched genes on the X-chromosome are expressed without competition from the Y-chromosome. A female can have an x-linked disorder only when both copies of the x chromosome contain a defective gene.
Each of the chromosomes in a pair, carry codes for the same body trait or protein. For example, each of the number 19 chromosomes has codes for eye color, among other things; however, only one of the genes from the pair will be used for eye color. The gene that is used is called the "dominant" gene. In reality, the actual expression, or utilization, of genes is much more complicated.
Genetic diseases are transmitted by one of two main patterns of inheritance:
- Autosomal dominant transmission: this means that it only takes one mutant gene from either parent to cause the disease.
- Autosomal recessive transmission: this means that it takes two mutant genes, one from each parent, to cause the disease.
Genetic diseases are either autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive---they cannot be both.

text: I didn't realize Wondo was 30, but you're right. It's really hard to predict how well a top american in MLS will do over there. Donovan never seemed to find his game in Germany, but then Dempsey goes to europe and tears things up! I took a Scottish buddy of mine who through the years has coached one of Houston's very top amateur teams (Rangers, go figure!) to his first MLS game a couple of seasons back, and ten minutes in he asked me what in the hell Geoff Cameron was doing playing in MLS. At that point he only had a few touches, but it was the vision and ability to handle the ball under pressure while looking down the field rather than the ball or the defender in front of him that he focused on. I don't think there's much question that he has been Stoke's most solid player this year and the biggest reason they're mid-table and not at the bottom where they usually live. I was excited to see Stoke sign another from MLS, Brek Shea, right at the transfer deadline last week, and wonder how the fans will receive a second american over there.

Well, it wouldn't be easy to trade for Sessions. What can we actually offer to match his contract of $4.3M? Douglas' picked up option of $2M that's for sure... but who else? Balkman's $1.6M contract? Sounds smart... D'Antoni would probably opt to add Jordan to the mix...
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
But still, it's Berman, maybe 25% of his articles have something to do with reality...
But you can't trade Bibby before the deadline... and that is about a month and a half...
not sure how legit these talks are, but i know sessions isnt overly happy in Cleveland now and there were actual talks about getting to NY last year so who knows.
There were also talks about getting him back in 2009 if I remember correctly...
I called this, the only deal would be Douglas or Fields plus Walker maybe Jordan and the rest of our cash exception if there's anything left and maybe a 2nd rounder for Sessions and a filler Ryan Hollins, if we add Jordan or Christian Eyenga as they dont play him at all.
I don't thjink session is type of PG we need. but if we can swing Sessions in trade and get Calderon im for it. K-mart not the interior post scorer we need off our bench.
Raptors get Jamison-exp Session (looking to save money)
Cavs get Stat Douglas Walker Balkman (get star power to go with Irving)
Knicks get Calderon Johnson Gibson Bell Miles Cavs 1st (great depth)
Jazz get Shumpert Fields Kleiza
sign Rasheed Wallace > Kenyon Martin
better perimeter players under MDA system (Passing & Shooting)
3 shot blockers Johnson Jeffries & Chandler
2 Interior scorer Melo & Wallace
playoffs Roster dangerous team
Calderon Bell Melo Johnson Chandler
BD Gibson Miles Jeffries Wallace
you wanna trade Shumpert and Stoudemire to start James Johnson and Jose Caledron and Raja Bell, WHAT THE FCUK IS WRONG WITH YOU, you've said some dumb **** before but this is worthy of you being banned for good
ca7 easy sport
Bell better sg shumpert even at 35 yr old in mda system.
Shumpert great defender but bad shot selection. he is not the type roll player ready to be effective in championship calibar team. The only argue ment you have shumpert upside, but you never know.
Miles better sf than fields 24.5. terrifc going to basket or shooting 3s
I geuess haven't watching NBA games beside Knicks Bell and Miles big reason why Jazz are good. We be lucky to have them in place Fields and Shumpert
Gibson has turned be solid defender and we know he can shoot especially in the big. SPeaking bigs unlikes Walker Shumpert Douglas Fields especially Stat,
Gibson Bell Miles can all score come playoff time
Stat is joke. Iwould trade Amir str8 up Stat
Calderon best assist T/o Ratio underrated.We lead the NBA TOs and erratic shooting b/c of Walker Shumpert Douglas Fields especially Stat
Miles Gibson Bell Johnson especially Calderon all better fits under MDA system, if we fire MDA, change of plans than

S.C. DHEC keeps watch over Gulf oil spill
If the Deepwater Horizon oil spill reaches South Carolina's Atlantic shores, the state's coastal watchdogs say they'll be ready to respond.
Probabilities of an impact here are low but could come in July, according to a state Department of Health and Environmental Control overview.
"DHEC is the lead state agency for an oil spill of this type off the South Carolina coast. The U.S. Coast Guard is the lead federal agency. We are both part of a larger, well-coordinated plan that will involve many other federal, state and local partners should a response be needed," a DHEC status report says.
The agency is monitoring coastal waters and working with the other agencies to be ready in case the spill moves around Florida and into the Atlantic, Adam Myrick, DHEC public information director, said Friday.
Bluffton Town Manager Anthony Barrett said the town is tuned in, too, and he has directed staff to monitor the situation and implement the emergency response system if needed.
No single DHEC division is in charge of the effort to be ready for environmental impacts from the massive spill caused by the collapse of BP's Deepwater Horizon after an oil rig explosion on April 20.
"It's a multidisciplinary approach. We've got numerous segments of the agency that are proactively monitoring the situation and ready to respond if or when the oil reaches the South Carolina coast," Myrick said.
DHEC is working with the U.S. Coast Guard "to plan for the potential impact of this spill on our coast. Based on what we know, we believe that there is a very low probability of this happening," according to a fact sheet the agency issued in early June.
"That's still the situation as of now. We feel the probability is low," Myrick said. "Obviously the longer the well or the pipe at the top of the well continues to leak, the more probability we might have impact off our coast. "What the projections and monitoring are really looking like is, if any oil does sweep around the tip of Florida, it would more than likely stay in the Gulf Stream current, and that's about 50 to 60 miles off the South Carolina coast. We would expect a minimal impact at this point, as things are currently."
So far, oil from the leak off Louisiana's coast has reached Florida's Panhandle.
DHEC's Office of Environmental Quality Control has posted and updates oil spill monitoring and related facts on the agency's website at www.scdhec.gov/environment/gulf-oil-spill.
A posted oil-spill "fact sheet" says, "The critical factor for everyone is how soon the spill is controlled. The sooner the leak is stopped, the less likely it is that South Carolina will be affected.
The fact sheet includes these bullet points, always highlighting the word "if" in boldfaced, underlined and capital letters:
- "Should oil reach the Atlantic Ocean and affect our state, the Coastal S.C. Area Contingency Plan would be implemented and a unified command structure would be activated. This will include the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, DHEC, and the Department of Natural Resources, as well as the responsible party, British Petroleum (BP). Numerous other federal, state and local agencies would also be involved.
- "National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientists monitor the currents and the oil's path daily. IF the heavier oil and/or tar balls were to reach the southern tip of Florida, some 500 miles from our state, it would take about five days for the oil to be off our coast.
- "IF the oil did reach the waters off the coast of South Carolina, it would be carried by the Gulf Stream current, which is 50 to 60 miles off the coast.
- "Warm water eddies that come from the Gulf Stream could move heavily weathered oil toward our coast.
- "IF this happened, the oil would be so heavily weathered that dispersants and burning may not be effective.
- "IF oil from this spill does impact our coast, BP would still be considered the responsible party. They would be expected to participate in the unified command and provide resources for the response.
- "The most likely impacts that we would see from the oil spill would be tar balls and stranding of heavily weathered oil.
• "IF oil reaches our coast, the public will be notified by signs on beaches, media reports and our website at www.scdhec.gov/beach"
The most current DHEC overview says DHEC staff took surf water samples in early June from 10 areas along the state's coastline to establish a condition baseline for ocean waters.
"The sampling specifically concentrated on finding evidence of substances that would be an indicator of oil in the water (volatile organics) and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). All test results were below any known detection limits," the report says.
"Current scientific data suggests that should oil from the spill get into the Atlantic Ocean and the offshore Gulf Stream current, any impact on South Carolina's coastal waters would likely be minor and not seen until July.
DHEC officials participate in regular conference calls among the agencies and organizations involved in the oil spill response. "DHEC is also working with other state agencies and other Southeastern coastal states to develop protocols to direct volunteer groups, train staff and volunteers on their duties, and how to best protect the public's health," the overview concludes.
Based on modeling, DHEC anticipates any oil hitting the South Carolina coast would be in the form of "very weathered, broken down into tar-ball type situations," Myrick said.
Agency officials don't think residents, tourists and wildlife would see big globs of oil on the South Carolina's coast.
But, "That might change with some kind of storm front, like a hurricane situation bearing down on our coast," Myrick said. "The best estimate or best research at this point is it would not be what we see on television, with oil dripping off birds."
Instead, "We would be seeing what's called very weathered oil." That happens, Myrick said, as oil picks up grit and other things and breaks down as it absorbs water on its path.
Bluffton's oil spill point man is Frank Hodge, construction and compliance director and the town's emergency management coordinator. "If we went in full mode, emergency operation, the incident commander under the plan is the police chief (David McAllister)," who would work with Hodge, Barrett said.
The town team would work with Todd Ferguson, Beaufort County emergency management director, and take its lead from state and federal agencies in an oil spill response.
Barrett said in the 1970s and early 1980s, as city manager for the ocean resort towns of Ocean City, Md., and Nags Head, N.C., he dealt with tanker oil spills that hit their beaches.
"When it washes up on the shore ... you've just got to get it cleaned up," he said. In both cases, cleanups were done by hand, with hundreds of people working on the beaches, he said.
"You always need to try to be prepared for any eventuality," Barrett said Friday. "It certainly could happen and we need to be prepared for it."

When asked which of the three is MOST important, Rinpoche replied, "Compassionate activity is at the heart of our practice. We can't ignore it. It is absolutely vital."Ayang Rinpoche is considered to be the world's living Phowa master. A lineage-holder of both the Nyingma and Drikung Phowa he continues the unbroken line of succession of the Drikung Phowa lamas from Buddha Vajradhara.
Lineage-holder of both the Nyingma and Drikung Phowa he continues the unbroken
line of succession of the Drikung Phowa lamas from Buddha Vajradhara.
Ayang Rinpoche was born into a nomadic family in eastern Tibet. A delegation of
high lamas , including the Sixteenth Gyalwang Karmapa Rangjung Rigpe Dorje and
Yongzin Jabra Rinpoche, concluded that he was the wisdom incarnation of Terton
Rigzin Choegyal Dorje.
Each participant should have a set of the text in English or Mandarin, will be provided by Penang Manjusri Center. The 2 session in a day for the phowa course ( morning session start 9.30am to 12.30pm). Evening session start 6.30pm to 9.30pm.
Ayang Rinpoche insists that each person who will take phowa course must commit to complete 150000 Vajrasattva long mantra and 150000 Buddha Amitabha mantra within three years. If a person is not willing to do this practice then he will be asked to leave. There is one exception and that is if the person has already completed Ngondro then the mantras recitations are waived.We make it known earlier because those people from other states or the nearby country participants may have to travel back if they do not wish to commit.

Dah! How else will our police forces raise their much needed revenue?? It's pathetic as they lay in wait for people to go nail with a DUI..... Fyi, folks, these people are all being picked up with trace amounts of alcohol or alcohol right on the tolerance boreder! The revenue they reap from these arrests is amazing! A total waste of a police force, judges and court time....Watch your chardonnay intake at local eateries, cause they're just waiting to pluck you off too!!

Hey Renee Revenue Tracker you are absolutely correct. But if you think the Danville PD is waiting and watching...try enjoying a light evening with friends and a glass of wine in Walnut Creek...Be on the look-out, because they are on the look-out, in fact they park and watch you leave your favorite eatery, if you appear to be having too much fun, you're tagged. I support getting the drunks off the road, but what the local PD's are doing with regard to their 1:00am to 2:30am stake-outs are wrong. But it's easy money and we all know money is tight, so I guess they have their marching orders. We are talking about Big Money.

Did you know that even if your BAC is less than the 0.08 limit, i.e. >0.00 and <=0.08, it's the cop's discretion whether or not to cite for a DUI? It is no longer his discretion, however, when BAC>0.08.
Did you know that if you've been drinking, even if you're not driving, but are a passenger in a car with a driver who's had a couple, you can be cited? I know someone who was only a passenger but still had to answer for it in court.
Face it folks, our laws are based on hypocracy. There's no argument that impaired driving must not be tolerated, but it appears that even if there's only a trace of alcohol one assumes excessive and unreasonable risk of running afoul with the law. This is especially ironic in a town like Danville, where the cops are known to have a hair trigger with regards to even trivial violations, yet Danville seems to have more than it's share of businesses that make most of their revenues from alcohol consumption. Go figure...
If we as a society really don't want people to drink and drive, then let the laws reflect that sentiment through zero-tolerance for everyone. I wonder how Danville's economy will fair, however, and should Danville lose significant revenues as a result, who will pay for our police force?

Maybe we should ask the police to blow into OUR Breathalyzers or something else. But, no one cares...

Lights Out in Lenexa, But NCUA Still Holds the Deed
The lights have been shut off at what used to be U.S. Central's headquarters in Lenexa, Kan., but the NCUA still holds the deed to the failed corporate's 130,000-square-foot office building at 9701 Renner Blvd.
NCUA Public Affairs Specialist John Fairbanks confirmed the building is still on the market after being listed for sale in May. The asking price remains at $14.3 million.
Gregory W. Swetnam, a principal at Kansas City-based Kessinger/Hunter Commercial Real Estate who specializes in large office listings, called the U.S. Central building a deal at that price for the right buyer, which would likely be an owner-user relocating operations rather than an investor looking for rental property.
At more than $100 per square foot, the NCUA would have to significantly reduce its asking price for an investor to earn a profit after footing the bill for tenant improvement and paying operating expenses, taxes and fees, he said. However, the listing is far cheaper than the $175 to $200 per square foot it would cost to build a similar building today, he added.
The headquarters also has an owner-user layout, which Swetnam said includes "beautiful but inefficient" features like an expansive lobby with an atrium, a large boardroom and an employee lunchroom.
A depression in rental rates also affects the market. Lenexa has struggled to fully develop its Kenner Street corridor, which Swetnam said was developed 20 years ago in hopes of competing with nearby Overland Park's more prestigious College Boulevard business addresses.
"Lenexa is an industrial town, and this development was going to bring business to Lenexa, but it just didn't happen," Swetnam said. The Kenner Street corridor isn't out of favor or overbuilt, however.
Swetnam said state incentives have attracted businesses that are filling empty buildings and putting up some new structures. Nonetheless, a number of empty office buildings roughly the size of U.S. Central will be competing with the NCUA for potential buyers looking to relocate to the area.
Swetnam said one of his competitors, commercial real estate firm Cassidy Turley, is listing the property. He predicted the firm will be able to find a buyer within a year, given Cassidy's familiarity with the area.
The NCUA on Monday announced it had formally closed U.S. Central Bridge following months of transitioning its members to other service providers.
"Closing U.S. Central Bridge is the last step in the effort to stabilize and reform a corporate credit union system that was close to collapsing three years ago," Board Chairman Debbie Matz said in a statement.
U.S. Central was founded in 1974 and became the largest of the corporate credit unions, serving as the top tier of a three-level credit union system, before it was conserved by the NCUA in March 2009 after experiencing devastating losses on mortgage-based securities.

Discussion in 'Science Fiction & Fantasy' started by teacake, Mar 23, 2013.
I believe the budget was $2m per episode.
Nearly - Scorpius is a hybrid. He's part Sebacean (the race of which Peacekeepers are comprised) and part something else.
Word (he says while cringing). This is the benefit of having Henson's Creature Shop as a co-producer, and a mostly Australian production team that is not beholden to mainstream American TV assumptions. They can come up with some astonishing visual treats, even in this, a mostly standalone and comparatively unimportant adventure.
We didn't know at the time, but I hope it's not too much of a spoiler for you to say that yes, they did basically just drop him off somewhere and not mention it.
It's better to not ask where Stark is, because once you ask you will never stop asking.
Spoiler: Where the frak is Stark….
Honestly, I have watched the whole thing, and numerous times he shows up and disappears randomly. When was the last time in the show he shows up?
And in case you didn't know it, the bone eating girl in this episode is Ben Browders wife in real life. She has several different characters she plays in the series.
I'm skimming here, PLEASE DON'T TELL ME SPOILERS.
I do not want to know what race Scorpious is until it comes up in the show. Or anything else.
Umm.... What spoilers are you talking about? No one said anything that hasn't been in an episode you have already seen.
Scorpius being the result of race mixing was only hinted later, no? At least that's how I remember it. And I do believe that Zhan's crime was mentioned in this thread before teacake saw the episode which revealed it.
I did watch the show without subtitles, so I might've missed something. I any case, watch out for spoilers...
The money went a lot further in Australia than it would have in Los Angeles, though.
Scorpious being a hybrid plays a pretty major role in stories later in the series.
Really, what's so hard to understand about a spoiler free thread?
If you're not sure if something has been revealed yet please.. just don't mention it.
Family Ties Pt 1: I'm not quite getting why Rygel wasn't airlocked at some point during this double ep.
I'm a huge fan of alien food scenes, especially if they go beyond dragonfruit and rambutans.
I do recognize poppadoms
This episode seemed a little choppy but also had some great scenes.
Crais asking for asylum was an interesting turn. It's not like Moya is a country that has some obligation to take such a request seriously. All he seemingly has to offer them is not being on the loose. His making peace with Crichton over his brother's death was a great scene, at that point he loses the cardboard villain quality and takes on a complexity.
Now you're getting on the Roller Coaster Ride. Shouldn't be more then just the occasional episode here or there (If any at all) that might be a chore for you to get through now (like with any show). From here on out, the story builds most of the time, and the "finding it's legs" has begun for the Series, no more long stretches of tough episodes.
BTW, fear of revealing something you don't know yet, is why I didn't comment much in SG1 thread. It's easy to forget what happens when
Mind the Baby: So is Zhaan rededicating herself to the Delvian seek because she's actually afraid they're all going to die? Because it seems awfully inconvenient, indulgent and rude to the real people trying to get her attention and input. I know she steps out of it eventually but I was trying to figure out if this was something she was headed into before this episode, something that had now come upon her. But apparently no, she's just freaked out and has gone into hibernation chant mode.
Lots of what the hell moments..
WTH?? oh wait, I think we did see this earlier on, I just forgot. Had a shock
WTH AGAIN! Nicely fits her physique, she's right out of a circus.
I am now super interested in seeing what becomes of Talyn and Crais. The story of the baby leviathan's confusion and attempts at loyalties and his mother's desperation was great.
Sorry, I figured that was vague enough to not be a spoiler.
Vitas Mortis: And to think I just listed in another thread "rapid aging disease" as something I never wanted to see in science fiction again.. well at least this time it was the ship!
I agree with Crichton, energy transference is never a good thing. You just know something will go wobbly.
I like how Crichton is now wearing a peacekeeper coat he picked up somewhere, or perhaps it was left behind by Crais. He looks a bit playing dressups in that long swashbuckling thing.
I do not like how he went all Archer in the beginning when faced with stuff he didn't understand. Yelling and gun waving and butting in.
Why has D'Argo turned into Malibu Luxan? Was it freezing in space?
Chiana's D'argo attraction is cute.
I like how this series can start an episode off without filling you in on all the background. Why were they there? What happened on the commerce planet? Much is left unsaid, D'Argo doesn't try and explain the Nilaam and who they are in his culture at all, he just lets his emotional response give us an idea. Seems to be less filling in the dumb viewer with conversational clutter than on Trek.
Taking the Stone: I got a little confused here because I thought the people on the planet might be Chiana's species. They moved in her distinctive way at times, but I guess this wasn't the case.
I think the acting is fantastic with Chiana, the movements as though she has extra joints and is extra limber.. she looks like a marionette! Her odd inflections and almost hissing way of talking.. it's a very satisfying and believable alien package.
Transparent baby stomach!!
A ramped up blend of Miri and Terra Nova. But with no rescue of the people at the end because this isn't Star Trek
Glad you're enjoying Chiana, the last "First Time Watcher" thread, the guy hated Chiana with a passion and stopped watching the show. Taking the Stone is pretty much universally panned as being amongst the lowest of entertainment for Farscape, so, if you enjoyed this one, there's almost nothing worse in the whole series and you've got some great stuff just around the corner
I want that coat so much. It is just the best coat ever. I managed to find something as near to it as possible in a Berlin thrift store (well, 150 euro is not that thrifty...), but tbh it's a bit more Jack Harkness than John Crichton. Still - WANT.
If I recall, Gigi Edgely (Chiana actress) is indeed trained in circus arts or gymnastics or contortionism or something, and she does use that very effectively to create a convincingly alien character. The black-and-white makeup is really the smallest part of her alien-ness.
I think she's a great character! I like how she's emotionally adolescent, it's very well done. I can't imagine what anyone would hate about her.
As to lowest.. I.E.T. was the worst so far, the real clunker. Mainly because the story was so TNG.. I wouldn't have hated it if it was TNG, I would have been "meh, typical Trek" but I don't want to see that kind of story outside of Roddenberry land.
It seems a fairly basic coat, older formal attire for the pompish flair it goes into.. and you could put on the stripes and buttons. Nice military touch. If they were in gold it would be a Londo Mollari coat It looks great.
If I recall, Gigi Edgely (Chiana actress) is indeed trained in circus arts or gymnastics or contortionism or something, and she does use that very effectively to create a convincingly alien character. The black-and-white makeup is really the smallest part of her alien-ness.
Yeah that is so true, her alien-ness is not just the make up and hair. I am very impressed.
I agree that Star Trek is the best thing that ever happened to science fiction, and that nothing will ever come close, but why don't you stop comparing Farscape to it, and enjoy it on it's own terms?
Plus, Farscape employed Naren Shankar, a writer who wrote for TNG. Also, an episode of Farscape which you have yet to see was originally written by Shankar FOR TNG, but Berman didn't like it for reasons that I don't recall. You will find THAT story an the episode's commentary. I won't say anymore since you don't like spoliers, but I'm interested to read your thoughts on it.
Separate names with a comma.

O's host City Springs students at holiday party
By Jeff Seidel / MLB.com
HANOVER, Md.-- Ma'Shae Green made an unusual request to Orioles pitcher Zach Britton on Tuesday. The 9-year-old fourth-grader was one of 71 students from City Springs Elementary School who came to Dave & Buster's at the Arundel Mills Mall for the 33rd Annual Orioles REACH Holiday Party for Kids. She met a bunch of Orioles past and present, including Britton. That's when she asked for his autograph. On her left arm. "At first, when I asked him to sign my arm, he was kind of bewildered, confused," she said with a sly smile. "But he did it." Britton admitted the request threw him for a moment. But the left-hander signed his name perfectly on Ma'Shae's left forearm, which she proudly displayed a few minutes later. "I've never really signed anyone's arm before," Britton said with a laugh. "But as long as they're having fun." Players like Britton, Jeremy Guthrie, Jake Arrieta and Brian Roberts, along with manager Buck Showalter, were there and did a number of things with the children. They played various games in the arcade room and talked about everything while connecting like kids making new friends. Several of the players served as waiters for the children when they sat at their tables to eat lunch. The kids really enjoyed being served by professional baseball players, and the players were having some fun, too. "It's a great party," Guthrie said. "The kids are super excited, and the Orioles do a great job." In addition, former Orioles Al Bumbry, Dave Johnson, Larry Sheets and Scott McGregor also came out to have some fun. Johnson saw how much popularity can come from dressing up as Santa Claus and helping to give out presents while the other alumni mingled. Andy Frankel was one of the teachers from City Springs and understood why his children were having a good time. Frankel used to serve as the director of media relations for the Bowie Baysox, the Orioles' longtime Double-A affiliate. "It's such a great thing for our students," Frankel said. "They don't get a chance very often to do these things -- go to Orioles games, and they've been talking about it for weeks. I'm sure they're going to be talking about it for weeks to come." The children also made out very well with holiday presents. Each student received a bunch of new gifts. Also helping out was Nick and Christina Markakis' The Right Side Foundation, which made a financial contribution to the party and provided the book, "The Polar Express," plus a baseball glove for each child. McGregor always enjoys coming to the party and interacting with the children. He even wore his 1983 World Series ring, even though none of the children showed much interest in it. "They obviously identify with the current guys more than me," McGregor said with a laugh. "It's just fun. It's Christmas. Baseball is coming. You can't beat it." Ma'Shae Green certainly would agree with that. While all of her friends were looking at their presents, she was still showing off her newly autographed arm. It wasn't a big surprise, but she said that Britton now was her favorite player. "Hey, I made one fan today," Britton said with a smile.

Very poor food!
Wish I could rate 0 Star's. We went in to eat but when we turned on the light in the back room the owner said no there cleaning lights and but we the customer did not want to eat in the dark. So he said fuck you you pay eat and get out. No!! your being a ass hole I don't want to eat your food your makeing when you theating us. So when we got up we paid for our salads. He saying I'm calling the cops..ok we just wanted some light and apparently you have not been cleaning the were cobwebs on the ceiling -_- He yelled at us so much . When we went in our cars and he started taking pictures of us but luckily my friend covered he linsense plate and he looked like was calling the cops.... This is the type of resurant you we'll see on kitchen nightmares. Feel sorry for the waitess she was nice. LUCKILY WE WENT TO A RESUANT THAT TURN ON THERE LIGHTS
I had a bad experience the first time I came, the menu online had the wrong prices. I went it, found out it was $10 more than advertised, was upset, got the pizza anyway and left. Loved the pizza (I had the Chicago style, I can't speak to the other offerings) so I got a Groupon, the Groupon says it is a flat fee which gets you a medium two topping pizza, an appetizer and two drinks, dine-in or carry out. I called and ordered this for carry out, go to pickup my order and there was a balance, the owner wanted to charge me gratuity for my carry out order, was mad I got it for carry out, said that was an error and wanted to charge me over the amount it said it was valued at. I was appalled, showed him the Groupon, and he said it was their error and I had to pay the difference. I will never come back. If you advertise a price, you honor it.
Kim Holdren Kowalski lists her self as currently employed by this business on her LinkedIn page, claims she's been their webmaster since 2011, yet in her glowing review, she does not disclose this.
At best it's highly questionable.
Anyone in Colorado who rates this place high, knows nothing about Italian food. Pronounced by Coloradans as "Eye Talian food". If you think this place represents Italian food in any way, you are sadly mistaken. My family and I will never be back. Sign me the only Italian in all of Colorado Springs.
Everyone leaving reviews on here is spot on...its a joke....send the health inspector...and i don't care if the review is a year old...I was there today and its all still spot on!!!! smells like pot and cigs and the staff is the rudest I have ever encountered.
This is a story of how a local business losses a good, profitable customer.
I have been going here for almost a decade now. We are OK with the random service misses but today (Father's Day) just took the cake. This is the second time that this similar issue has happened to us.
My Wife asked me where I wanted to go to have a nice, just the two of us, Father's Day Dinner. I said WINGS! In short order we fired up the Harley and hit the road from the Peyton area on our way to O'Malley's in Palmer Lake. I wanted their wings that much so we rode the 30 plus miles to get there. The place if you have ever been there is a local, biker'ish bar that does do wings good with the other food being pretty standard pub quality. When in doubt we do like to patronize mom-n-pop local businesses in the area.
However, it took us a long time to hit O'Malley's after the first service zinger last year. Well they just did it again and frankly that is it! We work hard for our money and it is very difficult to pass that money along to a place that seems to think having poorly trained, bad attitude waitresses are OK with providing terrible service to very loyal customers. A waitress named Hannah (not even our primary waitress) felt is necessary to make a scene when she had thought we had too much Blue Cheese dressing for our wings (and unlimited salad bar). The fact is we asked for Blue Cheese but were delivered Ranch instead which I had to explain to her while our food was getting cold.
The back story: when our burger, salad bar and wings were delivered (by the owner) there was no waitress in sight right afterwards. They were busy, they were slow so with a nice hot steaming pile of wings sitting right in front of us we thought it appropriate to snag a scoop of Blue Cheese from the already "paid for" salad bar and start digging in. However, Hannah walked up behind me looking over my shoulder and rudely interrupted us right in the middle of eating to start berating us publically on the dressing issue. We were forced to listen to her recite, in a very condescending manner, some nonsense about it was too much for my order of 10 wings so she was going to add an upcharge to my bill. I want to make a note here too that I actually ended up not having enough for my 10 wings and ate the last 3 dry. We literary sat there dumbfounded listening to her, along with the other surrounding tables hearing her as well, give a lesson on Blue Cheese dressing ordering practices for O'Malleys Pub. I honestly wished I had recorded this so you all can actually hear for yourself this ridiculous situation! I told my waitress about the encounter (who was nice) and she explained that Hanna already had come to work with a bad attitude. FYI- If you look at Timothy D review you can see this is a common theme at O'Malley's BTW.
The owner was there, therefore I guess my waitress told him about the experience and they took the charge off the bill! Like that was going to make a difference. It was not a money thing, it was an issue with very poor service....... She completely embarrassed us and certainly didn't help the Father's Day mood. Although my waitress was fine she was fairly apathetic to the situation and if the owner was aware of the issue and did not take the time to at least apologize he must have been equally apathetic too or thought I was stealing dressing. My Wife and I talked about it on the way home and decided that unless there is some group thing we need to go to O'Malley's for we will not go out of our way to patronize them again until they find their way back to treating people with respect. this was not just a bad experience, it was an awful one that ultimately for O'Malley's took a good customer and chased them off. In this case you have to hold the owner accountable since this is a common theme with our experiences and judging by other reviews is how they run their business.
Look, I have to say the wings are very good and I can't take that away from them. BUT they have lost their magic, local draw and most importantly the reason they are in business- THE CUSTOMER. I would think the owner might clue into the fact that if multiple people are calling them out on their oh so important "dressing" policy maybe it just might make sense to give enough in the first place.
After walking by several times, I decided
to give Bingo Burger a chance. I live downtown. I chose to "build my own" and asked for a cheeseburger with fried/grilled onions. I was told by Sarah that they had "glazed onions" which are pre made. I'm not familiar with "glazed onions" and I don't think it sounds very appetizing, since it is pre made. I decided to wait until they weren't busy, as a courtesy, and went in to talk to the manager the following day. He also told me that they would not grill my onions. I happen to believe that the customer is always right. I'm from the East Coast and there is no hesitation to accommodate a customer who wants grilled onions on their cheeseburger. If I'm not permitted to have a burger the way I ordered it, I'm not going back. It's a shame too, because it seemed like a nice place. I'll sooner go to Jack Quinn's for the fish and chips. Bingo, feel free to contact me and make this right. If you make it right, I will remove this post, if possible. 719-480-1250 Christian Romansky
send the health inspector over there.That usually gets them to sit up and pay attention.
However their pizza may be good their business accounting is not!They don't have the money to pay their employees. They keep BOUNCING paycheck with more than one employee!! Bad business ethics.
This place is not the best, & the owner wow what a baby. The way he runs this business is just sad. I stated I had some negative experiences & he "bashed" me on his personal FB.
"We were recommended to do a catering job but there is somebody by the name of Carlos Diego Martinez hateing non-Sonchos of course he pulled out the bitch card I can't even tell who he is dude dude looks like a chick never even seen the guy before come to Sonchos straight hater sinse you wanna speak your mind!!!!!funny stuff he gave casa Bonita in Denver 5 stars.. LoL!!!!"
really this is the kind of people I'm suppossed to support?
Disgusting kitchen! I really liked the pizza the first few times we ate there. The last time my family ate there will be the last and here's why.... We went in and got a table for six of us in the small dining area so it's hard to miss us. We ordered pizza and got our drinks and then we waited, and waited and waited. 45 minutes later after 8-10 customers had come in and got their take out orders we went to the counter and asked what was taking so long to find out they had lost our order even though we were the only customers sitting in the dining area. They re-did our order and promised to give us free dessert to make up for it. In the meantime my Granddaughter had to use the bathroom so they let my wife escort her through the kitchen. The kitchen was filthy and the back door was open letting in a lot of flies. The flies were everywhere. When she came back from the bathroom our pizza was there and we were already eating over an hour after we ordered or I would have left and demanded our money back after hearing about the kitchen filth. We never got our free dessert though we wouldn't have eaten it. No apology from management; they blamed everything on having been busy earlier and having several new employees.
I will never eat there again. The margaritas are weak, taste like virgin margaritas.
The service was good and I am a fan of beef Fajitas, I like steak fajitas where you have strips of steak, the steak in their fajitas are all shriveled up and dry. Worst beef fajitas I have ever had! Do not ever eat at Pueblo Viejo on Stetson Hills, save your money and save your self from a big
So this is not my first trip to Heart of J or my first time to this particular Heart of J. In the past I've ranted and raved about the food and the service but no more. The hummus and baba ghanoush didn't taste as good as what you can get from the grocery store. I'm a creature of habit, once I find something I like at a place it's hard to get me to change. I always get the lamb shawarma and it's always great but not this time. I'm not even sure what was on it was lamb the cucumber sauce seemed to have been replaced with mayo, the flat bread for dipping was hard as a rock. Lastly I always make it a point to get Turkish Coffee and even this was a major disappointment, watery, little taste and all grounds. Over the past 6 months or so I've been here at least 8 or 9 times and I live in Parker, never again. Very disappointed!
Very BAD service. Pre paid for the food deal (one slice,knots and drink). Waited about 30 minutes, then checked up with what was taking so long and they said just a few more minutes. 20 minutes later they said my order didn't exist. Asked for refund and they gave me a hard time. I left and counted my change the lady short changed me, so I went back in and she said that I had to pay for the drink cup! I asked to speak with the manager and he was very rude yelling at me in front of the customers! NEVER coming here again.
Side Note: Other people orders were also "Non existent". Very Disappointing.
Been here once before and had luke warm re heated pizza, not good.
This place is a joke.. The cooks do not know whar there doing.. the chef is a discusting.. i order two different times there.. first i ordered a club sandwich.. witch was very discusting the Turkey that was in the sandwich had a weird distinct color and a smell. And the veggies are discusting had to trow it away.. and second is there California Burger. The chicken was raw.. i will never again eat there or even suggest that place to any one..
I ate at the Famous last week...and finally have my strength back enough from being sick to say it was the absolute worst meal I have ever eaten out. What in the meal made me sick...I don't know, but it was all tough, tasteless, cold, and just bad.
The meat was the worst part...try the Texas Road House if you want a juicy, hot, nicely charred steak. The Famous sucks.
P.F. Chang's restaurant in Colorado Springs used to be great in service, atmosphere, and food but it's going downhill fast. It's has always been a bit pricey compared to other Chinese restaurants. The food is now WAY over salted/seasoned with smaller portions at a higher price too! The service is now sub-par at best and if need anything more than one drink refill or your check good-luck in getting service. And lastly, the atmosphere is now a trendy stuck-up upper-middle class snobs hang-out...too bad! And yes, if you're looking for an authentic Chinese meal then P.F. Chang's is NOT the place to go!
I agree, even with the new ownership and remodeling, it all looked and tasted worse. No wonder why they closed it down.
We arrived just before 6 am on Friday; there appeared to be just a single employee, who not only opened the door ten minutes late, she proceeded to seat just the first group of diners before disappearing into the back. No eye contact, no "I'll be right with you," nothing but silent contempt. Since she made it clear, on behalf of her business, that iHop cares nothing for our business, we left and won't ever go back.

If we want to truly win, Rand Paul 2016 is our ONLY choice
I am going to give you five reasons for Rand Paul in 2016. I think we have to win, and this is the one that can turn it around.
1. With such strong social networks, the young voters are always going to come out from this point forward. The right cannot count on young people not to come out. Our candidate has to appeal to the young.
2. He is a fiscal conservative, but totally will not worry anyone about taking us to war.
3. He is not as crazed as his dad, and is a really strong Senator. I really like him as a Senator.
4. Someone needs to bring in ethnic diversity to the Republican Party, and Rand Paul appeals across ethnic lines. Plus, I know he can frame the debate in a way that let's everyone know he is for them, too.
5. He is unlike anyone else we have in the party. We are lucky he is a Republican. We need to do right by him and make him our nominee.
Do you agree? Tell me your thoughts!

Cardinals nab outfielder in Rule 5 Draft
Former Indians farmhand Barton adds speed, depth to roster
By Matthew Leach / MLB.com
It is, of course, what every team drafting in any sport at any position other than No. 1 overall says about its selection. But multiple reports leading into Thursday's Rule 5 Draft suggested that Barton would be the first player selected, or at least one of the first few. Instead, the Cardinals selected the outfielder from the Indians with the 10th pick.
"To be honest, I didn't think there was a chance he was going to be available where we picked," said Jeff Luhnow, St. Louis' scouting director and farm director. "We made inquiries about moving up, but there was a lot of competition for that top spot."
Barton represents the exact combination of skills and traits that the Cardinals were seeking. He's a young (25 years old), speedy, right-handed hitting outfielder with a demonstrated ability to get on base and occasional power. Entering this season, Barton was rated the No. 5 prospect in the Indians' system by Baseball America.
Barton is coming off of left knee surgery, but the Cardinals were not scared off by his condition. Baseball America reported that he battled knee problems throughout 2006 and 2007, so it is hoped that the operation corrects the troubles he was having.
"He's wearing a knee brace right now, but he was walking around," said Luhnow. "It looked like he was agile. We'll find out more about him, but our sense is that he's going to be ready for Spring Training."
Barton was the first player the Cardinals took in the Major League portion of the Rule 5 Draft since they selected pitcher Juan Mateo in 2006. Mateo was later returned to the Cubs. The last Rule 5 selection to stay with St. Louis for a full season was infielder Hector Luna, also drafted from the Indians system, in 2003.
In addition to adding Barton, the Cardinals were pleased not to have lost any players. They had concern about pitcher Stuart Pomeranz, who had an exceptional Arizona Fall League campaign but was left off the 40-man roster. St. Louis didn't add or lose any players in the Minor League phases of the Rule 5 Draft.

CarGo back in Rockies' lineup
By Jake Kaplan / MLB.com
Gonzalez batted third and played left field.
"They checked it out thoroughly, and he was out here [on Tuesday] taking [batting practice]," manager Jim Tracy said before Wednesday's game against the Phillies. "He felt fine. There was a part of me that was saying he probably wanted a piece of the action [on Tuesday], but our head trainer made the decision that one more day would be much more feasible, rather than to push it. He's ready to go."
Gonzalez's return to the lineup was certainly welcomed by the struggling Rockies, who have lost 11 of their last 12 games. Gonzalez leads Colorado with a .335 average, 17 home runs, 51 RBIs and nine stolen bases.
Apodaca explains four-man rationale
PHILADELPHIA -- Before Tuesday's loss to the Phillies, Rockies manager Jim Tracy made the unconventional move to go to a four-man rotation, in which each starter would be limited to roughly 75 pitches per outing.
In an interview on Wednesday on MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM, Rockies pitching coach Bob Apodaca said the change was "out of necessity."
"We're dealing with a very youthful, for the most part, rotation, very little experience," Apodaca said in the interview with hosts Jim Duquette and Mike Ferrin. "We haven't been getting the type of production, especially at home. Coors Field is playing different this year than in past years. It's wreaked havoc on all pitching staffs, not just ours, and we haven't been getting the production, as far as length, out of our starters.
"We have to deal with who we are and not with who we are not. So this took a lot of discussion, it was an organizational decision, it wasn't any one person's decision, and so we decided this was the best avenue for us, where it was an easier transition."
The four-man rotation consists of Jeff Francis, Alex White, Josh Outman and Christian Friedrich. Opening Day starter Jeremy Guthrie has been moved to the bullpen.
In the first day of Tracy's experiment, Outman was lifted after 4 1/3 innings in which he threw 72 pitches. He allowed four runs on five hits. On Wednesday, Alex White threw exactly 75 pitches over 3 2/3 innings, surrendering five runs on five hits with two walks and no strikeouts.
Francis and Friedrich will start on Thursday and Friday, respectively.
With the pitch count of 75 pitches, it makes it much tougher for pitchers to reach the five innings needed to be eligible for a win.
"I think when a team succeeds, I think the players succeed," Apodaca said. "So we're asking them, at this point in time, to really focus on thinking of their teammates and what's best for this team at this moment in time and put their egos outside the clubhouse door. And so when they put that uniform on, they're playing for the name on the front."
Guthrie available to pitch out of bullpen
PHILADELPHIA -- It was possible that Jeremy Guthrie could make his first appearance out of the bullpen in Wednesday's game against the Phillies, just one day after being bumped from the starting rotation.
Guthrie, whose last start came on Sunday, said he was available to pitch on Wednesday.
"I look forward to any opportunity to try and pitch better and help the team win," Guthrie said. "That's what they've asked me to do right now, and I hope I can do it well and be a positive impact on the team."
With Guthrie moving to the bullpen, manager Jim Tracy will use a four-man rotation of Jeff Francis, Josh Outman, Christian Friedrich and Alex White, who took the mound on Wednesday. Each starter will be limited to 75 pitches per outing.
Guthrie, who is 3-6 with a 7.02 ERA, said he hadn't been told about the four-man rotation, only that he was moving to the bullpen.
"I'm just disappointed that I haven't been able to pitch better and help this team and do what they expected me to do," Guthrie said. "I haven't had much positive impact on the Rockies this year, which is my ultimate goal."
The 33-year-old right-hander, who is in his first season with the Rockies, started his career with Cleveland as a reliever and has 23 career relief appearances.
Guthrie pitched twice as a reliever last season with the Orioles, once in a 15-inning game on May 15 and again on July 10, the day before the All-Star break.
He is 1-1 with a 5.94 in 47 career innings of relief.
"I'm trying to work on situational pitching," Guthrie said. "If I have an 0-2 count, making a better two-strike pitch. Trying to work on overall pitches down in the zone more consistently and try to get some more ground balls."
Worth noting
Infielder Jonathan Herrera is "getting close" to returning to the Rockies, Tracy said. Herrera went 1-for-5 as the designated hitter in a rehab game with Double-A Tulsa on Tuesday and was slotted to play shortstop in the Drillers' game on Wednesday.
Pitcher Juan Nicasio, who was placed on the disabled list with a strained left knee on June 3, threw a "very good" bullpen session on Tuesday, Tracy said.
Drew Pomeranz threw six no-hit innings for Triple-A Colorado Springs in an 8-2 win on Tuesday night. His velocity was up and his delivery and command were better, according to Tracy.
"A guy goes out there and starts doing that on any kind of a regular basis, he's making a statement for himself, that's for sure," Tracy said.

Adam Greenberg's second major league plate appearance went a lot better than the first one, even though he struck out.
Returning to the big leagues seven years after he was beaned, Greenberg fanned on three pitches Tuesday night as a pinch-hitter for the host Miami Marlins.
Greenberg signed a one-day contract before the game and led off the sixth inning against New York Mets ace R.A. Dickey.
After Greenberg received a standing ovation from the modest crowd and his teammates, Dickey threw him three consecutive knuckleballs. Greenberg took the first for a strike, then swung at the next two and missed.
The game was Greenberg's first since his major league debut with the Chicago Cubs in 2005, when he was hit in the back of the head by the first pitch he saw — a 92 mph fastball that derailed his career.
Angels: Left-hander C.J. Wilson will have elbow surgery after the regular season to remove bone spurs. Wilson finished the season with a career-best 34 starts and went 13-10 with a 3.83 ERA.
Mariners: The club announced plans to move in the outfield fences at Safeco Field for the 2013 season. The fence will move in as much as 17 feet in the left-center field alley. This will be the first change to the dimensions of the ballpark since it opened in 1999.
Tigers: Detroit right-hander Max Scherzer will miss his start in the regular-season finale in Kansas City on Wednesday after twisting his right ankle during the on-field celebration of Detroit's A.L. Central title Monday night.
Nationals: A day after clinching the N.L. East, Washington manager Davey Johnson rested most of his regular lineup — and saved left-hander Gio Gonzalez for Game 1 of the playoffs.
Red Sox: Another man came forward to accuse a now-dead Boston clubhouse manager of sexually abusing him. Former Kansas City Athletics and Royals clubhouse attendant Gerald Armstrong, 57, says Donald Fitzpatrick molested him in the late 1960s, beginning when Armstrong was 12, his attorney Mitchell Garabedian said.
Garabedian is seeking $100 million from the Red Sox, $5 million for each of his 20 clients who claim Fitzpatrick abused them.
TV deal: Major League Baseball agreed with Fox and Turner Sports on eight-year contracts that will run through 2021 and keep the World Series on Fox. The amount baseball receives from the two networks will double to an average of about $800 million annually, with Fox's share averaging about $500 million.
Brewers: The entire Milwaukee coaching staff will return in 2013, manager Ron Roenicke said.

Matrimonial Advertisements NOTIFICATION
The SOCM-Forum is keeping a free matrimonial advertisement section,
which will be published on every Tuesdays. This service can be
availed by any Malankara Christians. However, recently we have
noticed that many esteemed members, after sending the matrimonial
advertisements to us, are not informing us whether the ad is to be
continued for longer periods or not. Some times we face embarrasing
situations when the advertised party got married and still the
marriage ads in the forum are repeated.
Hence, as on 17 April 2007, we have decided to keep any matrimonial
advertisements initially for a period of THREE MONTHS only. If any
advertisers would like to extent this period after its initial
period, they have to send us a written request to extent the period.
In such cases, we will continue the publication of the advertisement
for a further peiod of one or two months, as per their request.
However, we will not be continuing the ads thereafter.
We request every advertisers of today's matrimonial section (No.
85/07), to cooperate with us in informing whether the marriage is
over or you want to continue the ad for another period. We will only
continue with the advertisements of such confirmed advertisers.
Hope everybody will understand and cooperate with us.
Be with us and be part of us.
In Our Lord's Love,
SOCM Forum Moderators.
