- 1 Proposed Canon
- 2 Speculation
- 3 Real World References
Proposed Canon
Golems are magically animated Units. Frequently they are humanoid, but this is not a requirement. If a golem is destroyed, the remains can still be salvaged by a caster of the appropriate discipline.
Cloth Golems
First Appearance: TBFGK 10
Cloth Golems are golems that have the appearance of large stuffed animals, down to being filled with stuffing. They are Heavy units. They are created by, healed by, and receive bonuses from Dollamancers. They include several types, including Battle Bears, G-RAFs, LFNs, and tankeroos. Holly Shortcake was well known as a Dollamancer who created many cloth golems.
Known Users
Battle Bears
Battle Bears have the additional ability of carrying and throwing large boulders, at their opponents or to damage walls. They served as siege units used in the Royal Crown Coalition and helped breach the Outer Walls of Gobwin Knob.
Tankeroos are mounts that look like aggressive toy kangaroos and carry their riders in their pouches.
LFNs are mounts that look like toy elephants and have the mass to crush smaller opponents.
G-RAFs look like toy giraffes. It is unclear what special abilities they possess, other than the obvious advantage of height to look over the battlespace.
Dirtamantic Golems
Dirtamantic Golems are created by Dirtamancers out of various earthen materials - stones, rocks, metal, and, erm, "soil," or Crap. They can be healed by and receive bonuses from Dirtamancers. Known types include Crap, Metal, and Rock (Soft, Hard, and Acid).
Known Users
Crap Golem
'If life gives you crap, make crap golems' - Sizemore Rockwell
First Appearance: TBFGK 53
This is a mass of crap animated by the might of Dirtamancy. By using shockamancy (possibly to detonate latent methane), they may detonate in a violent explosion. In-comic, this was trigger by having it's finger pulled by a Dirtamancer. When one crap golem exploded, its sound effect was a well known imageboard. Erf-b1-p126
Gobwin Knob had 19 of these on day 5. Erf-b1-p077a
Metal Golem
First Appearance: TBFGK 79a
A golem, made of metal looking like a "heavy metal" musician. Most likely the most powerful Dirtamancy Golem introduced thus far, Gobwin Knob had one of these, according to Parson's Stupid Meal on day 5. Erf-b1-p077a.
Tin Golem
A Metal Golem variant used by Haffaton. Possibly unique.
Acid Rock Golem
First Appearance: TBFGK 79a
Made of stone, looking like a "Disco" or "Psychedelic" era musician when people frequently went on LSD or "Acid" trips. It also has psychedelic patterns running through it. Gobwin Knob had two of these on day 5. Erf-b1-p077a.
Hard Rock Golem
First Appearance: TBFGK 79a(Klog)/TBFGK 87
Made of stone in the shape of a Rock Musician. Gobwin Knob had four of theseErf-b1-p126 on day 5 Erf-b1-p077a, presumably shown croaking marbits in the first Tunnel attackErf-b1-p087.
Soft Rock Golem
First Appearance: TBFGK 79a(Klog)/TBFGK 122
Similar to a hard rock golem, but presumably less powerful. It looks like artists from the famous band the Beatles, who were known for relatively "soft" rock. Gobwin Knob had nine of these on day 5. Erf-b1-p077a.
Hat Magic Golems
Snow Golem
First Appearance: IPTSF Text 19
Made by Wanda on the return trip to Haffaton. It was made of only three large balls of snow, with sticks for arms and small black rocks for features.
It should be noted that the Tin Golem used by Haffaton was given Life by Barton, a Dollamancer. Due to the unique nature of its construction, it could be a Dirtamancy golem, akin to Metal Golems, but it could also be a Dollamancy construct, possibly like a robot or similar automaton.
Other Possible Golem Types
There are several units that have not been explicitly been called "golems," but share many of the same characteristics of golems. Scarecrows, Molls, and Dolls are all non-living units that are animated by magic.First Intermission 13 However, it is not clear whether they are truly golems, which are created and designed by their caster, or if they fall more properly in the broader category of non-living units that use existing material (like uncroaked units which, while non-living and animated, use the corpses of the croaked as their medium).
Tchotchkes may be golems or may be separate class of unit.
It may be possible to create as yet unseen types of Golems from material such as wood or flesh.
Real World References
The names of the different types of Rock Golems (including Metal Golems) are references to genres of Rock 'n Roll music. Furthermore, the physical shape of each type of golem is reminiscent of the type of music they represent. For instance, in the case of the Soft Rock Golem shown above, the image looks strikingly similar to soft rocker Paul Simon circa 1968.[1] Similarly, four (presumed) Hard Rock Golems shown croaking a stack of marbit bear a striking resemblance to theme-rock band KISS.Erf-b1-p087[2] One of the other golems (possibly metal?) was stylized after the Comedian from the graphic novel The Watchmen.
Of the depicted Crap Golems, one is clearly identifiable as a dinosaur, one is a dalek from the television show Doctor Who and another resembles the titular character of the Schlock Mercenary webcomic.[3]
The Snow Golem is a reference to Frosty the Snowman.
The idea of a golem can be traced, through various role-playing game incarnations, to Jewish folktales and folklore describing animated creatures made from dust.

By NICK McQUEEN
In the final tune-up before starting play this weekend in the National Baseball Congress World Series, the Hays Larks had just a few goals in mind in Tuesday's final home action against a group of alumni at Larks Park.
First, Hays wanted to get some pitchers some work. Then, see some live pitching against veteran right-hander Aaron Breit, who was added to the Larks' NBC roster.
The Larks also wanted one more chance to play in front of, and win for, their home fans, who have packed the park most of the season. All that happened in an 18-3 rout of the alumni team.
�They'll start doing this every year,��said fourth-year Lark Aaron Cornell. �It's hard to pick up games this late in the season because of the whole week off.�
But the Larks aren't going to complain any. With the 2013 Jayhawk League championship under their belt, they have used the last five days to relax, all the while getting some work in to prepare. The league title, Hays' second straight and eighth overall, clinched a berth in Championship Week (final 16) of the NBC tourney.
Hays is scheduled to play its first game at 7 p.m. Saturday at Lawrence-Dumont Stadium in Wichita.
�We had to get some work in,� Larks manager Frank Leo said. �Our pitchers had to throw, that's the big thing.
�We got everyone in that needed to throw,��he added. �Our hitters got to see some action, particularly off Aaron Breit � good for the guys and good for Aaron.�
Breit threw into the fourth inning, but didn't record an out as the Larks blew the game open with a seven-run inning off him and reliever Kyle Leroy.
Breit, a former Thomas More Prep-Marian standout, Garden City Community College Broncbuster, and Hays Lark who played professionally at the AA level with the San Diego Padres, is likely to be used out of the bullpen for the Larks. He allowed six hits with three strikeouts and a walk.
Meanwhile, the Larks went through six arms that needed work: Ian Bentley, Alex Frey, Logan DeRosier, newcomer Graylon Brown, DJ Carr and David Owen.
�Just a chance to get out, see some fly balls, see some live balls,� Cornell said. �And, see some live pitching we haven't seen all year with Aaron and those guys.�
The Larks posted 18 runs on 18 hits with three errors against the alumni.
The alumni team batted 11 guys: Doug Dreher, Jeremy Schmeidler, Dustin Dreher, Dusty Washburn, Luke Dreiling, Jake Sanders, Kelton Rule, Jay Sanders, Breit, Jarrett Sanders and Leroy.
The alumni put up all three of their runs in the fourth inning off Frey. One run came on a walk, one on a hit batsmen, the other on a groundout by Washburn.
The alumni had six hits, two coming from Jake Sanders, the older brother of Jay and Jarrett, three of the four sons of Ivan and Sherry Sanders. It was the first time the three former Hays High and Fort Hays players were on the same field in the same game.
�We knew it was going to be laid back � wasn't going to be the intensity of a Jayhawk League game,��Leo said. �Just wanted to come out, put the uniform on, and get out in front of the home fans one more time.
�It was a fun night.�

Two teenagers accused of injuring a woman by throwing a landscaping brick from a highway overpass last year will be prosecuted as adults.
Two teenagers accused of injuring a woman by throwing a landscaping brick from a highway overpass last year will be prosecuted as adults.
Tuscaloosa County Circuit Judge Brad Almond refused to grant Shane Adam Herren and Jordan Price youthful offender status. Both were 16 when they were accused of throwing the 5-pound brick that caused serious injuries to Melissa Jones, who was driving with three of her children to the birth of her first grandchild at Northport Medical Center.
Herren turns 18 on Oct. 31. Price is 17.
Jones, now 41, suffered from a collapsed lung, a broken sternum, dislocated shoulders and a broken right collarbone. She has required several surgeries and medical procedures.
Jones still faces challenges caused by the injuries, said her sister Diana Bailey.
"She still can't provide care for her disabled son on her own," she said. "Other than that, and not being able to work, her life has pretty much gotten back to normal, which is a blessing."
Jones' 8-year-old son Taylor has cerebral palsy. Someone must be at the home at all times to attend to his needs, Bailey said. Jones can drive again and take care of herself, but she has trouble lifting things. The mother of six owned a house cleaning business, but can no longer work and has been unable to receive disability benefits, her sister said.
At a court hearing last year, prosecutors presented witness statements, statements made by the teens and evidence of Internet searches conducted from Price's seized phone.
Price has pleaded not guilty. Herren has not yet entered a plea.
Mary Turner, the attorney representing Price, has asked the judge to suppress evidence that investigators collected during what she said was an illegal search and seizure of his home.
The investigator obtained the search warrant after stating that a witness had seen the boys on the bridge a short time before the brick was thrown around 9 p.m. on Sept. 16, 2012. The witness' signed statement to police does not say that he saw them on the bridge, Turner said, only that he saw them walking on a nearby road.
"The implication in the search warrant affidavit is that (the witness) viewed the defendant on the Keenes Mill Bridge almost immediately before the incident — this is not the case," Turner wrote in the motion filed Oct. 9. "Any evidence obtained as a result of these improper search and seizures is fruit of the poisonous tree, and therefore, should be suppressed."
Tennis shoes that were seized from the home that investigators claim match prints found on the bridge were taken without Price's permission, Turner wrote, during a search the police did not have permission to conduct. A hearing will be held to determine whether that evidence will be admissible in future court proceedings.
Turner declined to comment on the case Friday because it is still pending. Attorney Jay Stuck, representing Herren, also declined to comment while the case is pending. The Tuscaloosa County District Attorney's Office declined comment as well.
At the court hearing held last year, the lead investigator in the case testified that Herren said during a video-taped interview that they had been hanging out at a vacant lot near the overpass and that Price picked up a brick and wondered whether it would spark if dropped on the interstate. Herren said during the interview that he did not see a brick hit a vehicle, and that he left the bridge because he felt Price was planning to aim at one, Investigator Simon Miller testified. He said he heard a crash before the two ran to their car, and said that Price was laughing because he had struck a vehicle, Miller said.
Price told investigators during an interview that they had been at his house on Keenes Mill Road before visiting a friend in Vance and returned to his home a minute later than his 9 p.m. curfew. He said that he had not been on the bridge in years, the investigator said.
Homicide investigators confiscated Price's phone and found that someone had searched the questions "are lie detectors accurate?" and "how long is a prison sentenced for attempted murder?" Someone also searched for a newspaper story about the incident and emailed it to one of Price's friends according to the investigator's testimony.
Police also found text messages on the phone written to Price's friends denying that he committed the crime and stating that he was being framed, according to investigators.
A truck driver told officers that his vehicle was hit by a cinderblock thrown from the overpass just minutes before Jones' vehicle was hit. Another truck driver, Fredrick Golden, told officers he thought Jones must be having a heart attack when he saw her SUV weaving between lanes. He drove in both interstate lanes to block traffic until Jones' 14-year-old son pulled the vehicle to the side of the interstate. Golden called 911 and comforted Jones' sons, 14, 8 and 5, until assistance arrived.
Court documents indicate that hearings in both cases are scheduled in January.

DAVIS, Calif. – Orlando Johnson scored 21 and Jaimé Serna made 9-of-10 shots and had 18 points as visiting UC Santa Barbara cruised past UC Davis 86-59 on Thursday night. The loss was the 15th in a row for the Aggies (1-18 overall, 0-7 in the Big West).
Tyler Les, who finished with a team-high 16 points, made a pair of early three-point baskets to give Davis a 6-4 edge but a three-pointer by Johnson gave the Gauchos (10-7 overall, 5-2 in the Big West) a 7-6 lead that they never relinquished. Johnson scored 14 of his points in the first half and Serna added 10 as UCSB built a 48-29 lead at the break.
The second half was much of the same as the Gauchos outscored the Aggies 25-12 in the first 9:40, pushing the lead to 32 points, 73-41, when Johnson made a free throw line jumper with 10:20 remaining in the game. The lead never dropped below 27 the rest of the way.
Freshman Alan Williams scored a career-high and had the second double-double of his career with 14 points and 12 rebounds. He also tied the school's record for blocked shots by a freshman with five, a record he and Greg Somogyi already shared.
"It was important for us to establish ourselves inside tonight," said UCSB head coach Bob Williams. "They (the Aggies) are small and our greatest advantage was inside the paint. Jaimé, Alan and Greg (Somogyi) really responded tonight and made things open up for everyone."
Led by their post trio, the Gauchos had a 42-18 scoring advantage in the paint and a 20-0 advantage in second chance points.
Kyle Boswell made a career-high four three point baskets and finished with 12 points while James Nunnally scored 11 to give the Gauchos five players in double-figures for the first time this season.
UCSB shot 54.7% for the game, including 59.4% in the first half. Davis was held to 37.5%, including a dismal 32.3% in the decisive first half. The Gauchos also had a monstrous 45-23 rebounding advantage over the much shorter Aggies. Johnson added a game-high six assists to go with his 21 points.
Eddie Miller and Tyrell Corbin were both in double-figures for Davis with 13 and 11 points respectively.
UCSB remains on the road for a 5:00 p.m. game at Pacific on Saturday, Jan. 28. The game will be broadcast on-line on ESPN3 and can be heard on KZSB AM 1290 in Santa Barbara and online pretty much anywhere in the world by clicking here. The Voice of the Gauchos Gerry Fall will call all the action on the broadcast that will begin with the pre-game show at 4:30 p.m.
Fall, along with Matt Hurst, host a weekly radio talk show devoted to UCSB sports. Talk'n Gauchos airs every Tuesday from 6-7pm on KZSB AM 1290. Talk'n Gauchos features athletes and coaches from all the Gaucho sports programs and is broadcast from the Beachside Bar and Café on beautiful Goleta Beach. It can also heard live online by clicking here.

USAID EDUCATION STRATEGY - Opportunity Through Learning
Language: English
Download: English
created to reflect these core principles.
This Education Strategy is premised on the development hypothesis that education is both foundational to human development and critically linked to broad-based economic growth and democratic governance. Research has demonstrated that education raises individual incomes and, in an enabling environment, can contribute significantly to economic growth. Education helps ensure that growth is broad-based and reaches
the poorest. Through its impact on economic growth, education helps catalyze transitions to democracy and helps preserve robust democratic governance. Education also helps improve health outcomes. Access to education is a crucial precondition to educational impact, but what matters most thereafter is the quality of education. Because of these important links to other powerful drivers of development, educational investments should be understood as dynamic and transformational levers of change.

Like A Drunk With A Big Mouth
A quaint expression can mean different things to different people. For an older guy, the expression "laid out" might bring back memories of what happens to someone who runs their mouth off to the wrong guy and ends up losing a bar fight. On the other hand, for a younger fellow like Gabe Sandoval of Houston, Texas, the expression describes the only kind of truck he will drive, one that's laid out hard.
That said, when it came time for Gabe to lay out his '83 C-10 Chevrolet, he took the following steps to get the scraping stance he was after. Up front, the stock control arms were dumped in favor of tubular control arms, with the spring perch modified to accept the bottom of a Firestone 2800 airbag. With camber usually being an issue with trucks riding on an air suspension such as Gabe's, he added a pair of Belltech 2-inch drop spindles to help dial out the negative side of things.
With the front suspension work out of the way, Gabe enlisted a little help to set up the rear. He turned to Bill Carlton at Ekstensive Metalworks of Houston, Texas. Ekstensive took care of the Chevy's rear by burning in one of their custom step notches and adding a set of two-link bars with a pair of Firestone 2800 bags and KYB shocks. To supply air and control the routing of the invisible element, Ekstensive plumbed in eight GC 450 valves with a pair of Viar 380 compressors mounted adjacent. The last modification necessary to lay the '83 out was to raise the engine and transmission crossmembers to lose that last little chunk of ground.
For rollers, Gabe chose a set of 22×8.5 Intro Rally wheels wrapped in Sumitomo 265/35/22 rubber up front and a pair of 22×10 Intro Rallys wrapped in 285/35/22 Sumitomo rubber out back. With that much rubber on the ground, Gabe figured he might as well have a serious motor to light 'em up.
Starting with a '71 327-inch mouse-motor, Gabe called Simon Sandoval of Performance Automotive in Laredo, Texas, to build the Chevy engine. Simon modified or enhanced almost every part of the motor-from installing a set of JE forged pistons to the Holley 750 double-pumper carb, every base was covered. When the motor was finished, they claim it made over 500 horsepower. To transmit power to the truck's 3.73:1 Posi rear, the Turbo 350 transmission that came in the '83 Chevy was beefed.
Next on the agenda was a little bodywork. Gabe was looking for a smooth and subtle exterior, so he subtracted more parts than he added. He began by shaving the firewall, DOT markers, door handles, lock barrels, driprails, cab seams, wipers, stake pockets, and the rear bumper. While he was at it, Gabe decided to relocate the gas filler inside the bed and cover the bed floor with a bridge-notch cover.
After taking care of the metalwork, Gabe called his good friend Cory Scott, owner of Kustom Werx in Conroe, Texas, to take care of the shiny red stuff. Cory was entrusted with the task of finishing up Gabe's metalwork and painting the truck. Cory and his team set to work painting the truck along with color-matching a few of the components under the hood. The crew at Kustom Werx even went as far as to color-match the '83's spray-in bedliner.
The last major detail Gabe had to finish off before the '83 was completed was the truck's interior. He had PC Auto Upholstery stitch the interior in a rich tan blend of cloth and vinyl. The guys at PC Auto Upholstery recovered the stock bench seat, retrimmed the door panels, and replaced the old carpet with a deep pile of deep pile carpet. For instrumentation, a full complement of Auto Meter gauges was installed to keep track of the truck's vital signs.
After three years of long days and nights working on the '83, Gabe ended up with a good example of a square-bodied C-10 that lays real hard, and that's what we're talking about.

Four errors in five-run sixth send Rays to defeat
CHICAGO -- David Price expects to go nine innings every time he takes the hill, and through five innings on Sunday afternoon, it looked like he might do just that for the second start in a row.
And then the sixth inning happened. Price allowed six of the first seven batters to reach base -- thanks, in part, to four errors -- and a one-run lead quickly became a four-run deficit.View Full Game Coverage
CHICAGO -- David Price expects to go nine innings every time he takes the hill, and through five innings on Sunday afternoon, it looked like he might do just that for the second start in a row.
And then the sixth inning happened. Price allowed six of the first seven batters to reach base -- thanks, in part, to four errors -- and a one-run lead quickly became a four-run deficit.View Full Game Coverage
Tampa Bay allowed four more runs in the seventh inning, sputtering to a 9-2 loss to the White Sox in front of 17,313 at U.S. Cellular Field.
"We haven't made that many mistakes all year, let alone in one inning," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "It was just one of those days. We hit into double plays. We couldn't catch the ball. We made mistakes."
Price, to his credit, was dealing early. He needed just 19 pitches to retire the White Sox in order in the first and second innings before throwing 19 in the third alone. He struck out Mark Semien to get out of the two-on, two-out jam.
Price also had great defense behind him -- at least early on. Evan Longoria made a diving snare to rob Paul Konerko in the fourth inning, and Desmond Jennings made a diving catch to rob Alexei Ramirez in the fifth.
"The defense in general this whole season has been spectacular," Maddon said. "You can't expect perfection. I talk about that all the time. It's not abut being perfect; it's about being present."
The Rays weren't present in the sixth. Gordon Beckham scored on Price's throwing error on a bunt and Adam Eaton came around to score on Wil Myers' fielding error on the same play. Dayan Viciedo later scored on Yunel Escobar's throwing error.
The four errors, in fact, were a franchise record for one inning.
"It's uncharacteristic of us, but we're human," Price said. "I still feel like I have eight Gold Glovers out there when I'm on the mound, but you'll have those days. It stinks."
Somewhere between all the miscues, Jose Abreu hit his tenth homer of the month, a two-run shot to left-center, and added two more RBIs in the seventh to set the rookie record for RBIs in April with 31.
"It seems to me if Abreu catches anything bad up in the zone, he doesn't miss it," Maddon said. "That's what I've seen through the course of this series. [Price] made a bad pitch, and he didn't miss it."
Still, it was Price's throwing error that allowed the floodgates to open.
"I didn't really have a good grip on it," Price said. "I felt like I picked up grass with the ball. I pride myself in being an athlete on the mound and being able to field my position extremely well. That's a play I got to make."
The Rays couldn't respond. They struggled against 29-year-old rookie Scott Carroll, who was making his Major League debut. Carroll didn't allow a baserunner until the third inning, when he walked David DeJesus, but a double play off the bat of Escobar snuffed out any potential threat.
"Give their pitcher credit," Maddon said. "For having not had a chance to be here in the past and getting an opportunity, he definitely made the most of it. He put the ball on the ground, threw strikes and didn't walk people. He pitched very well."
Tampa Bay took a 1-0 lead in the fifth after DeJesus scored on a fielding error by Viciedo. DeJesus, who had reached on a two-out single, scored all the way from first.
Carroll allowed three Rays to reach base in the sixth but didn't give up a run. Ben Zobrist led off with a single but tried unsuccessfully to stretch it into a double and was tagged out at second. Carroll then hit Jennings, who advanced to second on a wild pitch. Carroll then walked Matt Joyce. Longoria, however, ended the sixth inning just as he ended the fourth -- with a 6-4-3 double play.
"He didn't really care who was in the box," White Sox catcher Tyler Flowers said of Carroll. "We had a game plan going into it, and I put the finger down. He made the decision to throw that pitch and hit the spot the best he could -- and he did a great job with that all day."
Carroll, who went 3-1 with a 1.57 ERA in four Triple-A starts this season, looked like a seasoned vet. He allowed two runs -- one earned -- on six hits in 7 1/3 innings. He threw 100 pitches, walked two, struck out three and exited to a standing ovation and a tip of the cap.
"It's special," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said of Carroll's performance. "You have a guy that gets his first opportunity in the big leagues and takes advantage of it. At 29, being up there it's special. He was throwing strikes, ground balls. Even when guys got on, he had a sinker that you can use to get double plays and get out of innings it's big. He showed everybody what it's like when you throw strikes."
Price, meanwhile, ran into trouble in the seventh and was replaced by Josh Lueke, who gave up a two-run single to Abreu, who went 2-for-4 with four RBIs.
"When it was 5-1, I wanted [Price] to stay out there," Maddon said. "That's grand slam range. Being down by four, you can do something. But then they put those four add-on runs on, and it made things much more difficult."
Price gave up eight runs -- six earned -- on nine hits in 6-plus innings. He struck out seven, walked one and threw 103 pitches, 72 for strikes. The White Sox sent nine batters to the plate in back-to-back innings.
"It was just an unfortunate day," Maddon said. "It happens. It happens to the best of them, and it happened to us today. You just got to move it along. That's it."

LODI - There's more than the usual fall-harvest buzz at Trinchero Family Estate's Westside winery.
LODI - There's more than the usual fall-harvest buzz at Trinchero Family Estate's Westside winery.
Besides the flow of trucks delivering gondolas full of grapes to be crushed and fermented into wine, there are hundreds of construction workers on site raising a massive new bottling plant and distribution center.
Visible to thousands of motorists passing daily on Interstate 5, just north of Turner Road, the building towers over the surrounding farmland, its floor-to-ceiling interior height of 85 feet able to accommodate pallet racks eight layers high.
The $180 million building project - along with an ongoing $120 million expansion of the facility's winemaking capacity - is a major commitment for Trinchero, but it makes sense, given that most of its wine comes from grapes grown in Lodi and the surrounding region, said Robert Torres, Trinchero's senior vice president of operations.
"This is where we need to be," he said last week while touring the building site. "Napa is our home. This is our second home."
St. Helena-based Trinchero - ranked the fourth-largest U.S. wine company in 2012 with estimated case sales of 18 million - used to ferment, bottle and distribute all its wine in Napa County. It started the Westside facility in 1999 but had only installed a number of storage tanks when an oversupply of grapes and wine, as well as the uncertainty and recession following 9/11, led Trinchero to put its expansion plans on hold.
That created a situation where fruit from Lodi was trucked to Napa, and much of the resulting wine was trucked back to Lodi for storage. Then, when it came time for bottling, the trucks would carry the wine back to Napa.
Even after starting to make wine at the Westside facility in 2011, Torres said, "There was all this inefficient truck traffic."
Setting up base in Lodi will eliminate those inefficiencies, streamline and modernize Trinchero's bottling and distribution operations, and give it better access to the winegrapes it needs to fill growing demand.
Camron King, executive director of the Lodi Winegrape Commission, applauded Trinchero's move.
"It's fantastic," he said from his Lodi offices. "It shows how much they value this region."
And that is true for other leading wineries as well.
"When you look at Trinchero now moving into this region, the majority of the major wine companies are all within a 30- to 45-minute radius of Lodi and the region," King said.
Perhaps it's not surprising then that the Lodi grape-growing region leads California in production of the leading varietal grapes, including cabernet sauvignon, chardonnay, merlot, pinot gris and zinfandel.
"It really speaks to the part that the Lodi plays in the California wine industry," King said.
Torres said there is a prime contractor and 10 subcontractors employing about 150 construction workers for the bottling and distribution project on any given day. He expects to employ as many as 1,000 over the course of construction.
"The big push right now is to get everything weatherized," he said last week while touring the work site. That will allow interior work to continue during the coming rainy season. And it is needed to hit the longer goal of starting the warehouse and bottling operations by August 2015.
The bottling facility will have four separate production lines, which along with the warehousing operation will employ up to 200 workers per shift.
Bottled wine will be automatically placed into cardboard cases, stacked on pallets, then sent to an automated warehouse rack system, to be designed and installed by Power Automation Systems of Lathrop.
In about 320,000 square feet of floor space, the automated system will be able to handle as many as 30 million cases a year, Torres said. A conventional warehouse would occupy more than three times that space.
Without a forklift or individual human intervention, automated carts moving on rails and elevators will carry the wine pallets to one of more than 70,000 locations in the computerized rack system. Pallets will be fetched as they are needed, taking the oldest stock first to protect the freshness.
Also to protect freshness, the room will be kept at a chill 55 degrees. That's especially important for wines packed in Tetra Pak or plastic PET bottles.
"They last a lot longer," Torres said.

Carving Shed
"Thus began a friendship that was just a joy for 25 years"
- Dr. Howard McDiarmid
In the late 70's, with the help of a local Tofino contractor Don McGinnis and carver Henry Nolla, the McDiarmid family began construction on their cabin at the north end of Shell Beach. Over the building phase, Dr. McDiarmid developed a deep respect and trust for Henry, and invited him to build his own place on the McDiarmid property in exchange for playing a part as custodian and protector of the cabin.
Over the years, Henry became a mentor to a community of West Coast wood carvers. In fact, his work can be seen throughout Tofino at the Common Loaf Bake Shop, the Village Green and most prominently, as the face of Roy Henry Vickers' Eagle Aerie Gallery. In his Carving Shed and on Chesterman Beach, using tools he designed himself, he completed much of the adze work found throughout the Wickaninnish Inn, from our yellow cedar welcoming doors, to beam and detail work in all public spaces, and the signature fireplace mantles found in each guest room.
Though Henry passed in 2004, his legacy continues in the hub of activity at his carving shed right by the Inn's Beach Building as well as the small Henry Nolla Art Gallery off the Driftwood Café. On your next walk down Chesterman Beach, if you see the yellow "Welcome" sign or door open in front of the shed, pop in and see the latest works from those who learned from and worked alongside Henry, such as "Feather" George Yearsley and Lyne des Rosiers.

Republicans bash President Obama's offer of cutting corporate tax rates in exchange for more investment in jobs.
President Obama's tense relations with congressional Republicans did not appear to be eased by his "grand bargain" offer Tuesday to cut corporate tax rates in return for the government being able to invest more in programs to generate middle-class jobs.
They shot down the proposal even before it was officially announced.
So don't expect matters to get any chummier on Wednesday, when Obama holds his "Democrats only" meetings with House and Senate lawmakers at the Capitol.
And is huddling privately with Democrats -- and not meeting also with Republicans -- the best way to soothe nerves? Will this kick-start negotiations on a host of important legislative business, not the least of which is how to keep government running after Sept. 30 without any annual spending bills yet passed?
"The president of the United States has a responsibility, and I think [he] is talking to Republicans," said House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Md., noting there have been ongoing discussions between Obama and some GOP senators.
But, Hoyer added, "Speaker [John] Boehner has indicated he is really not willing -- he is not too interested -- in talking to the president. I am not sure who I would talk to on the Republican side right now if I thought there was a way forward to get something done."
So, as things now stand, the president is to meet behind closed doors with Democrats only (starting at 10 a.m. on the House side, and then an hour later with the Senate) to talk and strategize about their own agenda, before members start their annual August break at the end of the week.
Topics are expected to range from immigration reform to concerns about the nation's domestic surveillance programs, as well as the party's messaging strategies during the recess.
But the more urgent discussion undoubtedly will focus on what happens right after Congress gets back from its break. Just nine scheduled legislative days will remain before Republicans and Democrats face a potential government shutdown. Unless, that is, they can somehow agree on a short-term funding bill before the start of the new fiscal year on Oct. 1.
And then there looms a showdown over increasing the nation's debt ceiling.
But if the manner in which Republicans on Tuesday tore apart Obama's grand-bargain proposal in a speech in Chattanooga, Tenn., as less than genuine is any indication, any deal-making is still very far off.
Obama had cast his offer to reform (that is, cut) corporate tax rates in return for a Republican pledge to open up significant new investments in creating middle-class jobs as "a framework that might help break through the political logjam in Washington."
That plan would represent a departure from positions by both the president and Republicans that corporate tax reform be passed alongside reform to taxes on individuals. Republicans especially have emphasized that some small-business owners file taxes as individuals. Obama's proposal would reduce corporate rates from 35 percent to 28 percent or below 25 percent for manufacturing.
But even before his speech -- as details of what Obama planned to announce were leaked out -- Republicans wasted no time in attacking it.
"We have always been opposed to corporate-only tax reform," said a senior House Republican aide. "The White House knows that is our position. Dealing with corporate taxes separately is the opposite of a concession to us." The same aide also noted it has always been the GOP position that the corporate side of tax reform should be "revenue neutral." But, he said, "Now they want to raise tens of billions of dollars in additional revenue through corporate reform. Again, that's the opposite of a concession."
Boehner spokesman Michael Steel had a similar reaction. "The president has always supported corporate tax reform. Republicans want to help families and small businesses, too.… This proposal allows President Obama to support President Obama's position on taxes and President Obama's position on spending, while leaving small businesses and American families behind."
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., had a far different take.
"Today we saw proof that Republicans judge policies by one simple, sad rule. If the president wants it or proposed it, they oppose it," he said. "President Obama proposed a thoughtful approach to tax reform—corporate tax reform, policies that Republicans have said should be done. Because Obama came out with it, they're opposed to it."
As for the president's scheduled meetings Wednesday with Democrats only, Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., weren't saying much, according to aides.
But a McConnell aide noted that the senator sticks by a previous comment: "This president's a good campaigner. We all recognize that. But, at some point, campaign season has to end, and the working-with-others season has to begin."

About the Environmental Section
The Environmental Section provides advice and representation to several agencies, including primarily the Department of Environmental Conservation, to assist them in the performance of their duties related to environmental matters.
Oil spill prevention and response: The department advises and defends DEC regarding oil spill contingency plan approvals. When spills occur, the department provides investigative, enforcement, and litigation services to ensure that the response is prompt and complete, that state costs and damages are reimbursed, and that violations of law are assigned fair consequences. Advice is provided with respect to the prevention and amelioration of fuel oil spills from above and underground storage tanks.
Contaminated sites: In consultation with DEC, department attorneys pursue appropriate enforcement actions to ensure cleanup at contaminated sites or recommend to DEC that the state initiate a state led cleanup. In either case, the department pursues appropriate reimbursement of any state cleanup expenditures. The department consults with DEC in decisions to release a potentially responsible party from liability when available evidence indicates that the party is not, in fact, liable. Department attorneys work with DEC to negotiate prospective purchaser agreements for contaminated sites when appropriate. The section's representation includes instances where the state is seeking to enforce cleanup or secure cost recovery as well as in those cases where the state is sued with respect to its role in a contaminated site or in carrying out its regulatory function.
Air and water quality: The Department provides legal advice to DEC regarding air permits and provides legal representation for enforcement of clean air laws and regulations. The Department also provides advice on water quality issues including permitting for large mines, NPDES primacy, marine vessel wastewater discharges, domestic wastewater, and drinking water. Advice is provided to the Village Safe Water program on a variety of issues related to that program.
Public health: The Department provides legal advice to DEC's Division of Environmental Health on public health issues, such as food safety, animal health, and pesticides.
Homeland security: Legal advice is provided to various state officials regarding efforts to improve security of critical facilities, such as the Trans Alaska Pipeline and drinking water supplies.
Legal defense of state actions: The environmental law component defends state agencies and officials when they are sued for the performance of their duties. These include cleanup decisions, issuance of permits, approval of contingency plans, and other matters.
Significant Environmental Matters
North Pole Refinery Groundwater Contamination
An industrial chemical, sulfolane, was discovered in drinking water wells near the North Pole Refinery in 2009. Since then a major site investigation has been underway, and affected residents have been provided with temporary alternative drinking water supplies or treatment systems to remove the sulfolane from their drinking water. The sulfolane plume is in the groundwater to the north and west of the refinery. The plume is approximately 2 ½ miles wide and 3 miles long, and at the deepest has been measured at nearly 300 feet beneath the surface. It has been detected in over 300 wells in the area. Sulfolane is an emerging contaminant, and the long-term health effects of exposure are still being studied. Due to a number of economic and environmental concerns, the owner/operator of the refinery, Flint Hills Resources Alaska, LLC (FHRA) announced in February 2014 that it would be closing the refinery later this year and putting it up for sale.
The department has been assisting DEC at each step in the cleanup process, as DEC directs the work of FHRA on various contaminants of concern, including sulfolane. In December 2013, Flint Hills filed a request for adjudicatory hearing with the Commissioner of DEC, challenging the final cleanup level set by DEC for the chemical sulfolane. The matter is currently on remand to the agency, which has commissioned an independent scientific peer review study of the toxicity studies which have been completed with regard to sulfolane. In March 2014, the State filed a case against Williams Alaska Petroleum, Inc., the former owner operator of the refinery, and FHRA, the current owner, seeking declaratory and injunctive relief, and natural resource damages. The case is in its initial stages. Meanwhile, work continues toward a cleanup plan and development of a long-term solution to the contaminated groundwater that will insure protection of the public health.
Water and Wetlands Permitting Issues
Given that there are more than 174 million acres of wetlands found within Alaska, the exercise of federal jurisdiction over waters and wetlands in Alaska is of keen interest to the State of Alaska. Law, DEC and DNR continue to review new or evolving policies and guidance generated by EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to assess the potential impact they will have for projects and activities within the Alaska.
Exxon Valdez Oil Spill
The 1991 agreement settling the state and federal governments' civil claims against Exxon as a result of the Exxon Valdez oil spill includes a provision which allows the governments to reopen the settlement and require Exxon to make additional payments totaling as much as $100 million to fund specific restoration projects identified by the governments to address injuries that meet the Reopener criteria. On June 1, 2006, the State of Alaska Department of Law and the U.S. Department of Justice announced that they have taken the first step in asserting a claim under the Reopener provision by providing ExxonMobil Corporation with a detailed project plan for the cleanup of lingering oil at an estimated cost of $92 million. On August 31, 2006, the Department of Law and the U.S. Department of Justice submitted a demand letter to ExxonMobil for $92 million pursuant to the EVOS settlement Reopener provision. The Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council continues to fund research related to the bioremediation of lingering oil in Prince William Sound and the Governments are awaiting the report from the final bioremediation study. The governments continue to pursue the Reopener matter.
For more information on the governments' settlement with Exxon and the Reopener provision and the research related to lingering oil, please visit the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council web site.
Selendang Ayu Grounding and Oil Spill
On December 8, 2004, the 738-foot cargo vessel M/V Selendang Ayu, ran aground and broke in half off Unalaska Island in the Aleutian Islands. The cargo vessel, which was bound to Asia with a 60,000-ton soybean load, was carrying approximately 425,000 gallons of Intermediate Fuel Oil 380 and 21,000 gallons of marine diesel oil; an estimated 354,218 gallons of those oils were released into the environment. Six of the vessel's crew members were lost in the rescue effort. Representatives of natural resources trustee agencies, which for the State include the Departments of Law, Natural Resources, Environmental Conservation, and Fish and Game, have undertaken pre assessment activities associated with the natural resource damage assessment and restoration process. The Trustees and the Responsible Party are preparing an Assessment Plan, which will be submitted to the National Pollution Funds Center for approval and funding sometime in the spring of 2015, and will be followed by a Restoration Plan.
The United States Fish & Wildlife Service is the federal lead administrative trustee agency and maintains a web site with information on the natural resource damage assessment process.
The Department of Law, on behalf of the Departments of Environmental Conservation, Natural Resources and others, asserted civil claims against the owner and operator of the M/V Selendang Ayu arising out of the grounding and oil spill. The State recovered oil spill penalties, wreck removal, trespass and other non-natural resource damages. Included in these civil claims was recovery of the State's costs responding to and overseeing the response to oil spill from the Selendang Ayu and the company's wreck removal efforts.
Appeal of Red Dog Mine Discharge Permit
In 2013, some environmental advocacy groups appealed the most recent discharge permit that the State issued for the mine. As the State is now the agency that issues APDES permits, having taken over that program from EPA, appeals are subject to state law procedures. The Commissioner of DEC granted the request for a hearing and referred the matter to the Office of Administrative Hearings. After briefing and oral argument, an administrative law judge recommended that the appeal be denied. That recommendation is pending before the Commissioner. The permit remains in effect.
Exploration Permitting For The Pebble Mine Deposit
The Pebble Project is a copper - gold - molybdenum porphyry deposit located on state land in the Bristol Bay Region of southwest Alaska. Exploration activities have been conducted for several years.
In 2009, a lawsuit was filed requesting that the court declare that the permits issued in connection with exploration be held void, that the State be enjoined from issuing any further permits, and that the entire administration and permitting process for upland hard rock mining exploration be held unconstitutional.
In 2011, the Superior Court found that DNR had complied with the provisions of the Alaska Land Act and that the plaintiffs had failed to sustain their challenges to the statutory regulatory permitting regime for upland hard rock mining exploration. In addition, the Court concluded that plaintiffs failed to prove long term or harmful impacts to the environment from PLP's exploration activities. The case is now on appeal to the Alaska Supreme Court.
Alaska Joint Assessment Team (JAT)
The goal of the Alaska JAT is to facilitate Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) and restoration planning in Alaska among NRDA practitioners. The JAT consists of Natural Resource Trustees, both State and federal, as well as industry representatives. The Department of Law is a natural resource Trustee in Alaska. In the near-term, the Alaska JAT will concentrate on NRDA and restoration planning for oil spills in the Arctic. The JAT is working to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of NRDA following a potential spill through the development of tools and products; thereby increasing the likelihood of successful cooperative assessments and restoration in the event of an oil spill. For more information about NRDA, please visit NOAA's Damage Assessment, Remediation, & Restoration Program (DARP) at: https://darrp.noaa.gov/about-darrp.

Zcorp wrote:Yes, you have only mentioned a few areas of physical sciences. Social sciences are consistently contested and often have hot debates.
But even in the physical sciences there are not insignificant opposing groups like the Amish, Mennonites and Christian Scientists.
1. Frankly, social sciences face challenges all the time everywhere from everybody. Doctors are rather opposed to many of the significant findings in medical sociology. It doesn't mean that doctors are unscientific douchenozzles. It just means that, like anyone else, they have their biases and don't like having their toes stepped on.
2. None of the above religious groups "oppose" scientific progress in any meaningful way. Choosing not to participate in society (or parts of society) is entirely different from opposing it.

My trashcan is a metal, woven-looking thing filled with crumpled up ideas and 48 gum wrappers. Makes me wish I had one of these 35 customized, artist-designed trashcans being put into auction for charity instead. (Particularly the cactus one.)
You're probably onto me by now. I just wanted an excuse to use the #cans hashtag. But seriously, this is one clever charity involving supermodel Helena Christensen, America's Next Top Model judge Nigel Barker, Yoko Ono, and some serious designers. All that's missing is a Dalek. [Metropolis Mag]

Microsoft yesterday posted Security Advisory 971492, which contains information regarding a vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0, 5.1, and 6.0. Microsoft describes the vulnerability as follows: "An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the way that the WebDAV extension for IIS handles HTTP requests. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by creating a specially crafted anonymous HTTP request to gain access to a location that typically requires authentication."
Microsoft says it will continue to monitor the situation and will either post a patch on Patch Tuesday or will release an out-of-cycle security update. Currently, the software giant notes it is not aware of attacks that attempt to use this vulnerability. The good news is that the vulnerability can only be exploited under very specific circumstances, according to Microsoft:
If an IIS 5, 5.1, or 6.0 webserver is running with WebDAV enabled, and the IIS server is using IIS permissions to restrict a subfolder of content to authenticated users, and file system access is granted for the restricted content to the IUSR_[MachineName] account, and a parent folder of the private subfolder allows anonymous access, then an anonymous remote user may be able to leverage this vulnerability to access files that normally would only be served to authenticated webserver users.
Therefore, the following IIS configurations are not affected:
- An IIS server not running WebDAV is safe (Windows Server 2003's IIS (version 6) shipped with WebDAV disabled by default)
- An IIS server not using IIS permissions to restrict content to authenticated users is safe.
- An IIS server that does not grant filesystem access to the IUSR_[MachineName] account is safe.
- An IIS server that hosts web applications using only forms-based authentication is probably safe.
If you are running any of the four configurations, you are already avoiding exploitation. Otherwise, Microsoft has outlined four different workarounds in the security advisory.

Seventy Eight Fish Tagged at Louisiana Saltwater Series Inaugurual Speckled Trout Tournament
Despite what Mother Nature had planned, inaugural Louisiana Saltwater Series Fall Trout Tournament on Lake Pontchartrain was a huge success.
Although high winds and the threat of bad weather kept overall turnout numbers lower than average, a remarkable 78 fish were tagged and released back into the wild.
The tournament, hosted by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, allows teams to bring extra fish to the weigh-in, thus increasing the total number of tagged fish.
Since its inception in 2004, over 38,000 speckled trout have been tagged through Louisiana's Cooperative Marine Sport Fish Tagging Program.
The program has been a cooperative project of the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries and the Coastal Conservation Association for seven years. However, tagging data on the species dates back to 1989.
Taking home the tournament's top prize were Kris Robert and Benny Sanchez, with a two fish total weight of 5.64 pounds.
The Louisiana Saltwater Series will take the winter off before gearing up again in April of next year. The 2012 tournament schedule will be published later this year at www.lasaltwaterseries.com
Sponsorships for the 2012 series are still available. The Louisiana Saltwater Series is 100 percent payout series, and all sponsorship dollars will directly support the series and the conservation based research it promotes.
The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries is charged with managing and protecting Louisiana's abundant natural resources.

Growing up in an acting family has its share of benefits, such as famous godparents. Do you know who Drew Barrymore's godparents are? [ + - ]
Director Steven Spielberg became Barrymore's godfather after working together on "E.T." back in the 1980s. Barrymore also has a famous godmother. [ + - ]
Barrymore's godmother is none other than legendary actress Sophia Loren. [ + - ]
Spielberg is also godfather to Gwyneth Paltrow, who he cast in her first movie role for 1991's "Hook." [ + - ]
And when it came time for Paltrow and her former husband, Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin, to pick a godfather for their daughter Apple, they also turned to a fellow celebrity. [ + - ]
They picked British actor Simon Pegg, the star of such movies as "Shaun of the Dead," "Star Trek" and "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol." [ + - ]
But getting back to Barrymore, she not only has famous godparents, but she is a godmother herself, to Frances Bean Cobain (left), daughter of Courtney Love (right) and Kurt Cobain. [ + - ]
Frances Bean Cobain also has a famous godfather in former REM lead singer Michael Stipe. [ + - ]
Just like Barrymore, Jake Gyllenhaal, the son of a director and screenwriter, can claim Hollywood royalty for both his godparents. [ + - ]
Jamie Lee Curtis is Gyllenhaal's godmother, while his godfather was ... [ + - ]
... late acting great Paul Newman, who reportedly gave the young actor his first driving lesson. [ + - ]
Gyllenhaal, in turn, is the godfather of his "Brokeback Mountain" co-stars Michelle Williams and Heath Ledger's daughter Matilda. [ + - ]
Matilda's godmother is Busy Philipps, Michelle Williams' "Dawson's Creek" co-star. [ + - ]
And when it came time for Philipps to choose a godmother for her daughter Birdie, she turned to actress pal Lizzy Caplan, who has appeared in "Mean Girls," "True Blood," "Party Down," "New Girl" and "Bachelorette," but is best known these days for starring in Showtime's "Masters of Sex." [ + - ]
Courteney Cox chose a former "Friends" co-star when picking a godmother for her daughter Coco. [ + - ]
Cox's godmother choice was Jennifer Aniston. Aniston herself also has a famous godparent. [ + - ]
Aniston's godfather was Telly Savalas, best known as TV's "Kojak," who was close friends with her father, fellow actor John Aniston. [ + - ]
Lady Gaga was picked as godmother by a famous singer for his son. Do you know who? [ + - ]
The singer is godmother to Elton John and David Furnish's son Zachary. John is also a godfather to two other celebrities' kids. [ + - ]
David and Victoria Beckham turned to John when they were seeking a godfather for their eldest sons, Brooklyn and Romeo. [ + - ]
The Beckhams also chose another famous British celebrity for Brooklyn and Romeo's godmother: Elizabeth Hurley. Elton John, in turn, is also one of several godfathers Hurley picked for her son Damien, including ... [ + - ]
... ex-boyfriend Hugh Grant and ... [ + - ]
... comedian and "Rescue Me" star Dennis Leary, along with ... [ + - ]
... the late actor Heath Ledger. [ + - ]
And stick with us here, because this gets complicated, but Damien's godmother is English actress and model Patsy Kensit (pictured) while Hurley serves as godmother for Kensit and former Oasis front man Liam Gallagher's son Lennon, who was born in 1999. [ + - ]
And, getting back to Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, the former Posh Spice turned to Eva Longoria when it came time to choose a godmother for her first daughter. [ + - ]
Jennifer Garner turned to a co-star when picking the godfather of her and Ben Affleck's first daughter, Violet. [ + - ]
The couple choose Garner's "Alias" co-star Victor Garber as Violet's godfather. Garber also, by the way, officiated at the couple's 2005 wedding. [ + - ]
Lionel Richie turned to pop music royalty in choosing a godfather for his adopted daughter Nicole Richie. [ + - ]
Michael Jackson was Nicole Richie's godfather. The late King of Pop also picked famous godparents for his own children, Prince Michael and Paris. [ + - ]
Jackson's chose close friend and acting legend Elizabeth Taylor as their godmother and ... [ + - ]
... turned to "Home Alone" actor Macaulay Culkin as their godfather. [ + - ]
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie sought out a fellow superstar when they picked a godfather for their twins Knox and Vivienne. [ + - ]
Brangelina asked their close friend, superstar and U2 singer Bono, to be godfather to their twins. [ + - ]
Jolie, meanwhile, has her own famous godmother in Jacqueline Bisset, the star of such films as "Bullitt," "Airport" and "The Deep." [ + - ]
Madonna and Guy Ritchie chose a famous one-named British singer for their son Rocco's godfather. [ + - ]
Madonna and Ritchie enlisted Sting and wife Trudie Styler to be Rocco's godparents. [ + - ]
They've worked together on eight films over more than 20 years, so Johnny Depp was an obvious choice for director Tim Burton when it came to picking a godfather in 2003 for his son, Billy, with Helena Bonham-Carter. [ + - ]
Australian-born media mogul Rupert Murdoch turned to two fellow Aussies in picking the godparents for his daughters, Grace and Chloe, with wife Wendi Deng. [ + - ]
In 2010, Murdoch picked Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman, stars of Baz Luhrmann's "Australia," as his daughters' godparents. [ + - ]
Barry Bonds not only had a baseball great for a father in Bobby Bonds, but also a Hall of Famer for a godfather. [ + - ]
Bonds' godfather is none other than baseball great Willie Mays. [ + - ]
As the daughter of a famous singer (Cissy Houston) and the cousin of another one (Dionne Warwick), the late singer Whitney Houston grew up around fame. But she also claimed a famous godmother. [ + - ]
Houston called the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin her godmother. The two even recorded a duet together, "It Isn't, It Wasn't, and It Ain't Ever Gonna Be," for Franklin's 1989 album "Through the Storm." [ + - ]
Jude Law and his ex, Sadie Frost, picked a famous British supermodel for daughter Iris Law's godmother. [ + - ]
Iris Law's godmother is none other than Kate Moss. [ + - ]
The late singer John Phillips of The Mamas & the Papas chose iconic artist Andy Warhol as godfather for his daughter, actress Bijou Phillips. [ + - ]
Bridget Fonda's acting lineage is well established, with Peter Fonda for a father, Jane Fonda for an aunt and Henry Fonda for a grandfather. But she also has a famous actor for a godfather. [ + - ]
Bridget Fonda's godfather was none other than Larry Hagman, aka J.R. Ewing from "Dallas." [ + - ]
The family of British actor Tom Sturridge ("On the Road," "Pirate Radio") is close friends with another Brit actor, thus his sister turned to said actor when seeking a godfather for her son. [ + - ]
"Twilight" star Robert Pattinson was picked by Sturridge's sister, Matilda Sturridge, to be her son's godfather. [ + - ]
Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony picked a Hollywood icon when they chose a godfather for twins Max and Emme. [ + - ]
Lopez and Anthony turned to Tom Cruise to be godfather to their twins. [ + - ]
Hollywood lawyer Robert Kardashian chose a celeb from the sporting world for daughter Khloe's godfather. [ + - ]

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. - Swatting home runs in the seventh and eighth innings, the No. 8 Georgia College & State University baseball team (27-10, 13-6 PBC) overtook Columbus State University (21-16, 9-9 PBC) 9-8 tonight (April 10).
Down 7-6 in the top of the seventh, designated hitter Buddy Elmore (Dallas) led off with a single. After an out, third baseman Brooks Robinson (Evans, Ga.) took a blast to the opposite field for an 8-7 lead. In the eighth, outfielder Derek Johns (Waynesville, Ga.) went to right as well for a solo shot, giving Georgia College a 9-7 advantage.
The Cougars got one back in the bottom of the ninth on an unearned run. CSU had two runners in scoring position with two out in the ninth, but closer Martin Dewald (Mannheim, Germany) got a flyout to first for his ninth save. Dewald's single season save number ranks second in school history.
Junior righty Kyle Cravey (Watkinsville, Ga.) picked up the win in relief, improving to 2-0 with 1 2/3 innings of work, allowing a pair of runs. Columbus State reliever David Lane dropped to 2-2 in the loss.
The Bobcats got the scoring started in the second inning, plating four. Robinson ripped a double down the left field line, scoring both Pete Paris (Scranton, Pa.) who had walked, and Steve Muoio (Rochester, N.Y.) who had also doubled. Shortstop ChandlerSnell (Loganville, Ga.) took a shot over the right center fence one out later scoring both Robinson and himself for the quick 4-0 lead.
Robinson finished 2-for-5 with four RBI and three runs, and Snell added a 2-for-5 game with two RBI and a run. First baseman Matt Pitts (Brunswick, Ga.) had three hits in five trips, plating a run, while Muoio was 2-for-4 with a run.

The Health Benefits of Guinness vs. Beer
The Health Benefits of Guinness vs. Beer is a new infographic from the team at GoIreland.com. Primarily focused on calories, this infographic does a good job at visualizing comparisons.
We at GoIreland have rustled up a useful infographic about Guinness and other beers. But not just any infographic about booze. We recognize that folks in the 21st century are more health conscious than ever, so have combined these two facets to look at the health benefits of Guinness vs. other types of beer.
Whether you enjoy the dark stuff, or lean towards lager, the results show that a pint of one, or the other, can have positive effects on various areas of the body, such as the heart, bones and even your skin. Through painstaking research, we even worked out how many individual peanuts each drink is the equivalent to eating, how long it would take to burn off those calories and taken a look at some of the strongest beers known to mankind.
This infographic is really well designed, and it's focused on one of my favorite drinks in the world! The visual comparison between Guinness and a handful of light beers is clear and easy to read. However, when they start comparing to "Regular Beer" it's unclear what brand they are using as the average beer and where that data comes from. I like the Running and Dancing comparisons that are fun and make understanding the differences easier to an average reader.
The only visualization error I see is the circles on the world map. Circles have to be sized by their AREA, so if we assume the Ireland circle is the correct baseline, then the circles for values of 0.06 and 0.02 would only be a couple pixels wide. The circles in the design are shown larger than their actual values, which is a false visualization.
At the bottom, I wish there was a URL to the original landing page for readers to get back to the original, and some form of copyright statement.
Thanks to Oli for sending in the link!
Here is an alternate, shorter and in my opinion "better" version. What do you think?

• auld •Pronunciation: awld • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Adjective
Meaning: (Scots English) Old.
Notes: In most English-speaking regions December 31 is celebrated as New Year's Eve. The celebration was previously known as Old Year's Night, which continues in English-speaking Guyana and some other areas of the Caribbean.
In Play: Many English speakers around the world sing the very popular Scottish song, Auld Lang Syne "Old Long Since" at midnight Old Year's Night = New Year's Eve. This includes those living in Auld Reekie "Old Smoky", a sobriquet of Edinburgh, Scotland, and elsewhere in the Auld Warld. No doubt it was heard in many English-speaking places in the wee hours of this morning.
Word History: The Proto-Indo-European root al- meant "grow, nourish" and with the suffix -to (al-to), it meant "grown", which went on to become Old English eald "old". Over time the Old English word came to be auld in Scots English and old in Modern English. With the suffix -m, it turned up in Latin almus "nourishing", the feminine of which is the alma in 'alma mater', "the nourishing mother" = the school from which we graduate. Alumnus and alumna are based on the same root; they mean "student, pupil" in Latin, from alere "to nourish".
